Sometimes you only have one friend. (Hey, it's better than not having any, right?) Regardless of whether you are looking to play a game with your significant other, your best friend, or some person that you just met, there is a time and a place where you need a good two-player game. So, here's my list of current favorites.
Not every game has to be deep and strategic in order to be a lot of fun. And, Jab is a great little real-time game when you're looking for something quick but engaging. It can be a bit of a problem when you and your opponent aren't evenly matched, so it might be best to pick one person that you play Jab with and reserve it for them.
For some reason, abstract strategy games tend to be two-player. I could have easily made a list of two-player games simply consisting of them (but, if you want that, you should really check out my top ten abstract strategy games). Regardless, Arimaa is a great game in it's own right, and I would be remiss to not include it.
Well, in the United States, we currently have a two-party political system. And, we've had it since well before the 1960's. And so, it's only natural that there should be games made about this very important aspect of our country. Whether you find actual politics fascinating, or are somewhat apathetic about them, you still might find 1960 to be a fun game.
So, at this point you may be throwing a flag and pointing out that Game of Thrones: The (Living) Card Game states that it is 2-4 player. Yes, you would be right, and so this game technically breaks my criteria. Yet, in my opinion this game was designed as a two player game with rules for additional players tacked on later (like with Magic, Star Trek: CCG, and many others). Regardless of that, Game of Thrones is a fabulous game where you are constantly struggling back and forth with your opponent in a number of different "challenges". Since I first tried this game, I became hooked and just wish that I played it more.
Returning to the abstract strategy genre, Hive makes an appearance on the list. This could honestly be considered a low position for Hive, as it could easily have beaten out most of the games above it, depending on when I put this list together. When I think about two-player games, Hive is one of the first that comes to mind, and is one that I enjoy sharing with others.
Jaipur can be considered the "significant other specialty." (Yes, I just made that term up.) Of all the games on this list, I think that this is the best one for playing with a "non-gamer" spouse. Sure, some of you may be married to people that love to play games just as much as you do. However, the more common scenario seems to be marriages in which one person loves to play games drastically more than the other. For these situations, I think that Jaipur may be an ideal game to play with your special someone.
The #1 game on my abstract strategy list only manages to make #4 on this one. This one was hard for me to rank, as abstract games feel so different than "traditional" strategy games. In fact, when I first thought about this list, I completely neglected all of my abstract strategies - then remembered them and had way too many games. So, as a happy medium, I've added the three you see - with Dvonn being the top representative of the genre once again.
One of the best two player games to come out in the last few years is Summoner Wars. Though I don't play it as much as I'd like (isn't that the story of this entire list?), I have continued buying every expansion as they come out because I know... some day.... I will play it more! And at that point I will have dozens of factions that I can use.
Really, did this surprise anybody? I'm guessing no. As I said in my review, Twilight Struggle is enough fun to tempt me to give up this site so that I can dedicate more time to playing it instead of to learning new games. Though not flawless, it is an immaculate tug of war that epitomizes what a two player game can be!
This top ten list really had a lot of titles that I was sad to whittle away. I could have easily justified including Star Wars: The (Living) Card Game or Android: Netrunner, but I didn't want to list too many Living/Customizable Card Games. I was also shocked when I didn't have enough room for Jambo. A few others that just barely missed the cut were Dungeon Command, Mage Wars, and Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation. Finally, Crokinole, which would have been my lone dexterity entry, only missed the cut because of the technicality that it can be played by two or four players.
I think Axis and Allies Battle of the Bulge is a great two player game. I have had a great deal of fun with it.
Interesting. I've played some of the other Axis and Allies offshoots, but not that one. Thanks for the tip!
You don't even list Lost Cities or Balloon Cup? I'm not saying they are the best in the world, though I do love them, and I am not saying Jab is a bad game. However. Both of them are not even in the Honorable Mention list.
Just kidding. I need to play more from your list. I enjoy playing board games with my wife and I'm always on the hunt for new titles to try.
So, I didn't really care for Lost Cities all that much. It's not "bad", but it wasn't for me (or, more specifically, my wife hated it).
I haven't tried Balloon Cup, but I hear good things about it, so I may need to change that in the near future.
Major agreement on Jaipur and Summoner Wars.
As a recommendation for a light 2-player pick-up-and-deliver game, my wife and I enjoy Perry Rhodan (even if the movement rules were written by someone with no grasp of orbital mechanics).
Interesting. I saw Perry Rhodan sitting around ay my FLGS in Joplin for months, but the game never looked interesting enough to try. Maybe I missed the boat on that one.
Out of curiosity what didn't you like from Lost Cities.
Sure, the theme is negligible, and it is very mathy, but I LOVE messing with the draw options to affect the speed of the game.
My wife didn't like the constant mathy-ness. Overall, I just didn't engage much with the game. It's been a couple of years since I've played it, so it's hard to remember exactly what didn't click.
Great list Josh. Looks like I need to pick up some more 2-player games. Balloon Cup is currently out of print, but I believe that Rio Grande is planning a reprint with a new title, Pinata, I believe.

Digital displays are transforming the ways that consumers interact with brands – learn how powerful this medium could be for your business in CSG’s latest blog.
Customer behaviour is changing to such a degree that for many businesses, building durable and profitable relationships with consumers requires a new approach. Existing marketing techniques and platforms are becoming increasingly out-dated in an era when people are ruled by their personal devices, making much of what marketers and advertisers have relied on over the past century ineffective. With consumers faced with more distractions than ever before, the question for any business looking to stay relevant in changing times is what can you do to cut through?
Previously, the answer was simple – go larger with more advertising. High-gloss billboards and indoor signage were previously seen as the fastest way to get a message to market without relying on mass media such as TV, radio or print. Unfortunately, many industry experts are tipping that most major metropolitan areas have reached the saturation point for visual advertising, with Nike Air Jordan’s global director of advertising Desmond Marzette arguing that consumers have become nearly immune to traditional forms of advertising.
“Back in the day, when we didn’t have DVRs or anything, you could get a special feeling from digesting an ad in one way. Now you’re seeing an ad every 10-15 secs, whether on your phone, online. It’s everywhere… That’s downgraded the value of advertising to the consumer,” he said.
His comments are supported by survey results from NewsCred that argue that millennials – now one of if not the largest generation in most western nations – are increasingly shunning traditional forms of advertising and prefer brand messages that are engaging and tailored to their interests.

Looking for a better solution to reach your audience? A 2012 study by members of the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute revealed some interesting results of digital display advertising. While intended as an examination of the effects of eye-catching digital displays on driver awareness, the study is useful for marketers as it shows the significant impact this advertising format can have on consumers. Drivers experienced more than double the number of eye fixations – the act of holding your gaze on a single location – when presented with a digital display compared to other types of signs, helping to build a more complete image of the message and aiding in recall. Additionally, their dwell times (total time spent looking at the ad) were nearly three times longer than those for traditional signs, meaning that consumers were taking more and longer looks at a message simply because it was presented on a digital display.
These statistics suggest that while many device users habitually press the ‘Skip’ button on advertisements as quickly as possible and can walk through a street filled with static billboards without retaining a single message, digital display’s ability to recontextualise content makes it uniquely powerful.
Many companies have already recognised the effectiveness of digital displays, with the industry ballooning from $6 billion in 2013 to more than $23 billion in 2018. In addition to its ability to recontextualise previously ignored video content, they also offer brands the ability to show some additional creativity in how they reach their target market.

Born in New Haven, Charles Goodyear attended school in Naugatuck and, in 1826, started the first retail domestic hardware store in the US with his father, inventor and businessman Amasa Goodyear, in Philadelphia. Bankrupt four years later, Charles and his family endured poverty as he doggedly pursued a new venture: the stabilization of rubber for commercial use. In 1844, after establishing the Naugatuck India-Rubber Company, Goodyear patented his vulcanization process—a discovery that has made possible a range of indispensible commercial products, from car tires to sneaker treads. Despite this success, Goodyear battled patent infringements and debt until his death in 1860. He is buried in New Haven and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1976.

She was a Club Instructor and served on Committee for 15 years, including 8 years as Club Secretary. There was never any issue with her performance as a Club Instructor or as a long-standing Committee member.
In 2011, Karen raised her concerns about the manner in which she was being treated by one Committee member, on advice of Dogs Victoria. Unprofessional e-mails ensued.
Karen has wanted to happily train her dogs at this club which happens to be convenient to her. Instead of discussing this matter with Karen, which is an obligation of the Club, Karen's life membership has refused to be recognised.
Karen has put a lot into this club over many years. She believes she should be able to participate in this sport.
Karen has not only been excluded from the club, she has been repeatedly called a "stalker" for attempting to resolve this problem. She has repeatedly asked to speak to Club representatives, this has in fact never occurred.
Karen should not be kept out of a Club that she devoted so much time to.
Other Club members are entitled to train their dogs. We ask the club to please recognise her life membership and allow her to immediately train her Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Morgan and Flynn.
Karen has helped many people in many ways over the years. Please sign this petition and show your support.

text: The Selenga Pulp & Paper Company operates a zero discharge unbleached Kraft Mill. Located in an enviromnentally sensitive area, the operation is situated on the Selenga River, about 60 kilometers from the south shore of Lake Baikal. The Selenga River is the largest source of water for Lake Baikal, a lake considered by Russians as a natural resource jewel. Lake Baikal is one of the worlds deepest and cleanest lakes and contains one fifth of the worlds fresh water, more water than the Great Lakes combined. Until 1990, the Selenga Pulp & Paper Co. was considered one of the major polluters of the river. However, in August 1990, the mill began effluent recycling. This was accomplished by activated sludge technology in conjunction with chemical - physical treatment. The mill, in partnership with Sibgiprobum, a design institute for the Siberian pulp and paper industry developed the closed cycle system. The regulatory history, and treatment plant design will be reviewed in this paper.

You may obtain comparable sales information from records at the Assessor's Office or through the Assessor's Website, from realtors, or title companies. The best sales comparisons are sales of the subject property if it was a true "open market" sale. The best comparable sales of similar properties located in your area or neighborhood, with similar land and improvement features, that sold close to the valuation date at issue (January 1, of the current year). Comparable properties do not have to exactly match your property. Look for sales that are most similar, note their differences, and identify superior and inferior property features.
This comparison process should enable you to determine whether your property would sell for more than or less than the price paid for each selected sale, leading you to a market value estimate. Be prepared to present and defend this analysis at the hearing.
Other successful forms of evidence include contractor estimates of costs to repair building or land defects; letter or documents from government agencies and/or experts regarding development limitations; deeds describing easements that impact value; independent appraisals; photographs of features or conditions that you believe diminish your property's market value; and maps showing proximity to high traffic areas or access limitations.

SCBA mask and helmet dryers should be part of every first responder’s daily routine. The thermal stability of your gear protects you on the job, but caring for your gear between alarms can play just as big of a role in your personal health. PPE and turnout gear hold carcinogens when they are not cleaned properly. These toxins are then absorbed through the skin. Regular gear maintenance is not simply a matter of regulation; it’s a matter of life and death. Williams Direct Dryers is committed to helping first responders maintain their gear for years to come, saving your department money and keeping your team safe every step of the way.
Our PPE dryers make it easy to keep your gear in ready-to-use condition. Simply wash your PPE using the manufacturer’s recommended instructions, and then place your gear on our dryers to gently and quickly restore each piece back to its original condition. SCBA masks and helmets should be placed over the halo arms on the risers for proper drying. Choose between ambient or warmed air with the flip of a switch for the best results possible.
Our SCBA mask and helmet dryers are great for new builds or stations with space restrictions. Dryers do not require any special venting or electrical work, which makes them easy to install. Our proprietary energy management system helps your department reduce its carbon footprint and save money. An optional anti-microbial powder coating on each dryer keeps them clean and hygienic for each use. Choose from wall-mounted, free-standing, and portable SCBA mask and helmet dryers for a configuration that meets your needs.
All Williams Direct Dryers are NFPA compliant. Choose a pre-designed unit below or contact us for a custom build to meet your department’s needs.

April is an exciting time at Dental Depot as we celebrate all of our wonderful dental hygienists and all they do to keep our patients happy and healthy for years to come. But there’s a whole lot of good your hygienist does that you might not realize. Here are 5 reasons you should thank your favorite hygienists!
They’re a familiar face. Often when you find a hygienist you click with, you tend to stay with them for years! And while you may only see your hygienist twice a year, they get to know you and your family. Some even treat the same family for generations as your family grows and changes, like recently retired Linda Bryant, who served Dental Depot patients for 31 years!
They’re your first line of defense. Your hygienist can be counted on to help you with preventative care like cleanings and fluoride treatments, but they’re also often the first to spot signs of trouble like places in your mouth that might be hard to reach or hiding pesky cavities. In fact, it was a visit to a good hygienist that got Melissa Stevens interested in dental hygiene.
They are some of the nicest people we know. While we pride ourselves on compassionate care, hygienists take it to a new level. Taking care of your smile is just one part of what they do and for hygienists like Linda Frazier, giving you something to smile about is something she looks forward to every day.
They’re constantly learning. Hygiene school is highly competitive but even after a hygienist has graduated, they’re still learning. More than half of hygienists complete 20+ hours of continuing education each year to improve their skills as dentistry evolves. Take it from Tracey Domingue, there are always new goals to set.
They give back to their communities. Did you know that 70% of hygienists participate in 1-5 community service events each year? We’re grateful to our hygienists for volunteering their time to participate in events like Dentistry from the Heart. And they even go out of their way to find other ways to give back, like Delano Debro and the ministry he does in prisons.
Do you have a hygienist you love? Tell us all about them on Twitter @DentalDepotOKC or @DentalDepotTuls and use #NDHW19.

Discussion in 'SUS VENATOR CLUB' started by Bama, Mar 7, 2018.
Did some stalk hunting going from field to field. This field usually has a bunch of hogs at the feeder and is accessible without spooking the hogs if at feeder. I estimate a dozen hogs in field with this big boar watching them feed. He was standing about 20 yds from feeder just watching the other hogs eat or sizing up which sow he wanted a date with?
Walked far enough in to clear shooting house and set up sticks. Shooting a 300 BO with Barnes Bullets 110 gr TAC-TX hand load. I shot drop right there. Gun jammed after third shot. May have hit another hog running but did not have too much time to look.
This was about a 75 yard shot using a Pulsar Trail XP 50 with DLOC mount. I'll post video in hunting section.
lonepunman, Juanthelawnmowerthief, Duffy and 7 others like this.
Looks like a set of double tusks on that boar.. Congrats on the Sus boar - and trophy choppers too!
30 Herrett - The best all out terminal performance on hogs and deer out to 300yds the 30 Herrett is it. The round hits like Thor's hammer, DRT. A perfect match for Texas hog hunters.
The 6.8 SPC is the fastest growing and #1 choice for hunting deer and hogs with an AR15.
War Eagle or Roll Tide? Figure it's the latter with 'Bama'.
Nice beast dang I can smell the stench from here big ol feller.
FYI not sure if the malfunction is a rarity with your 300, but if it's a regular thing I have about 250 rounds through the RNZ Unimag and it's fantastic so far. The anti-tilt follower is quite ingenious....I think...so far. Tilts to the rear so the front of the follower can't dip down. 1st round to last loads like a dream. Anyway thought I'd bring it up my buddy found them researching for CProducts mags. Took a chance...liking them so far. They take 300bo, 6.5, both flavors of x39, 450, .223...all in one.
Congrats on that big ol' boy.
Many thanks 437! I'll give that a try. I went back to the lodge and cleaned the 300 BO real well thinking that might be a problem. I've been shooting it quite a bit in last couple weeks and kinda lost track of cleaning. Also, I filed down the rail on inside of .223 mag. Saw on Utube that helps line them up better. Thanks for the heads up and I'll give RNZ Unimag a try.
It looked like the ground shook when he fell.
Yea it may have just been gunked up. Went out last night and got SKUNKED.....I mean total. I did not see a deer, possum, raccoon, squirrel, armadillo....nada...obviously no yotes or hogs. What a bizarre ghost town.
Thanks! Need to get back out there and let some lead fly! Just got a 6.8 SPC upper from Eric at Blackstone Arms and some 120 gr Cavity Back bullets.
Very nice boar! Good going. I like the way you marked the 300 mag. I am going to do the same, don't want no problems!
I have an upper from Eric too. I don't reload but would love to try those cavity backs.
He is working on adding the sale of loaded rounds in SPCII potency. Keep your ear to the ground.
JoeBano - Magazine - Spray Painted with brown paint , let dry then white paint pen and stencil sheet from Hobby Lobby. I too don't want a mishap! Thanks and enjoy!
Big nasty ugly muggly down! Congrats.

I took my family out today to take some pictures - and luckily today being the mom and photographer went very well. I love my family.
My family and I recently went on an 11 day cruise to Mexico - here are some of the shots I got of its natural beauty.
With my oldest in school all week and then a busy little bee every weekend I have come to realize that I am lacking in photos of her lately. Today we got to snappin'.
Here one from a quickie session with my girls. My mother in law got these dresses for the girls to have their photo taken in. Needless to say, we haven't gotten around to it and they barely fit! Oops!
Monterey was beautiful on Sunday. These were taken at Breakwater (a great dive site, BTW). A little vintage.
My new lens finally came - ahhh. Here is a quick snap of a sweet girl who just thoroughly enjoyed a Fluffernutter sandwich.
Cale's mom not only allowed me the pleasure of photographing her newest little man, but she also allowed me to create his birth announcement.
I went to Mississippi to visit a friend and her new baby over the weekend. He is 5 weeks old and just as adorable as can be. Here are some shots from our evening.
A few black and white conversions of the little cutie.
These sweet baby birds were in a nest at our horse ranch.

When it comes to raw specs, the Acer Predator Triton 700 sits pretty high atop the gaming laptop market. There is so much power packed into an impossibly thin chassis here – it's an impressive triumph of engineering. That said, it's not unique for a high quality laptop to be both thin and powerful.
Both the Zephyrus and the Alienware beat out the Triton's $2,999 (£2,999, AU$4,999) price tag while including arguably better screens. That said, all three laptops have G-Sync enabled displays to cut down screen tearing and 120Hz refresh rates.
The Triton 700’s jumping-off price is $1,999 (£2,999, AU$4,999). That drops the graphics card down to a GTX 1060 6GB and cuts the RAM in half, but otherwise they're identical machines. The entry level model isn't available in Australia, so, if you really want one, it will set you back AU$4,999. In the UK, the available models aren't yet for sale, but they're identical to the US, with the exception of the higher-end Triton having 1TB of storage.
Value-wise, the Triton runs neck and neck with the Zephyrus and Alienware. They trade some features for others, but none of them really leap ahead in terms of value when up against the other. They're all enormously expensive, even at their lower-end models.
The inside, however, is quite attractive, but simultaneously takes some getting used to. Form follows function, but in the case of the Triton, it's hard to figure out what elements influenced its unusual design. There isn't a track pad below the keyboard, like you'd expect to find. Instead, the keyboard runs all the way along the bottom edge and a beautiful piece of glass sits directly below the screen.
That glass is the Triton's touchpad, and it's positioned directly above the graphics card. In fact, you can see elements of the GTX 1080 beneath it, subtly lit from below. Using it feels wonderful. The Gorilla Glass is familiar to the touch, and fingers glide across it effortlessly.
For games that can be played with a trackpad, like FTL for instance, it's definitely a pain. Instead of shifting a finger down from the keyboard to trackpad like on an ordinary laptop, you need to move your entire arm. Not such a big deal when web surfing, but it's not fun when playing games.
While it definitely looks awesome, having the trackpad directly over the graphics card means it gets hot – extremely hot. In fact, the entire Triton gets so hot under load it's uncomfortable to touch. It does an admirable job moving heat from both the CPU and GPU, with the included monitoring software showing temperatures in the upper seventies. But all that heat sticks around the body of the laptop itself.
It's not an exaggeration to say we feel uncomfortable handling it when it is running at full capacity.
All that heat is moved admirably away from the delicate processors with some pretty loud fans. Watching a movie or playing a loud game at full volume drowns out the fans, but for something like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, where hearing footsteps is crucial to winning, you're going to want to wear a set of headphones.
The keyboard is phenomenal. Not only does it look great, with dynamic RGB themes rendered bright and colorful, it also feels great. It's one of the best-feeling laptop keyboards we've ever tested. Each key has an incredibly satisfying click to it, and the click itself borders on ASMR.
Playing PUBG with the keyboard is an absolute joy, and any game with a WASD control scheme will benefit from being played on the Triton 700. If there's one complaint, it's the space bar doesn't quite feel deep enough, but that's it.

lowercased:
when it comes to raw specs, the acer predator triton 700 sits pretty high atop the gaming laptop market. there is so much power packed into an impossibly thin chassis here – it's an impressive triumph of engineering. that said, it's not unique for a high quality laptop to be both thin and powerful.
both the zephyrus and the alienware beat out the triton's $2,999 (£2,999, au$4,999) price tag while including arguably better screens. that said, all three laptops have g-sync enabled displays to cut down screen tearing and 120hz refresh rates.
the triton 700’s jumping-off price is $1,999 (£2,999, au$4,999). that drops the graphics card down to a gtx 1060 6gb and cuts the ram in half, but otherwise they're identical machines. the entry level model isn't available in australia, so, if you really want one, it will set you back au$4,999. in the uk, the available models aren't yet for sale, but they're identical to the us, with the exception of the higher-end triton having 1tb of storage.

Rupert Shortt, author of “Christianophobia: A Faith Under Attack,” has a good piece in London’s Evening Standard newspaper, pointing out the hypocrisy so evident in commentary on the Middle East. That so often the West is blamed for Islamophobia, or even for many of the tragic events of the region. Yet the residents themselves do not recognize their own complicity in the intense and widespread persecution of Christians.
The standard replies to views as one-sided as these are familiar. I took a different line, reminding my driver that overall, Christians — starting with more than a million church members butchered by government forces in Sudan — have endured far worse treatment from Muslims than vice versa in recent decades but have largely kept quiet about it. When I pointed out that there is scarcely a country between Morocco and Pakistan in which Christians are fully free to worship without harassment, the cabbie eyed me with bewilderment.

Why is the Pyramid Model being used instead of a different social emotional curriculum?
The Pyramid Model is not a social emotional curriculum. It is a framework for supporting children’s social emotional competence. This framework consists of universal supports for all children to promote wellness, targeted services to those who need more support, and intensive services to those who need them.
How can I learn more about the Pyramid Model?
You can attend one of the workshops offered by Nevada TACSEI.

This thesis examines the work of reformer Lugenia Burns Hope and her community organization, the Neighborhood Union, as a case study to unpack scholarly characterizations of black elite uplift strategies during the early 20th century. The Neighborhood Union was established in 1908 in Atlanta by Hope and women from the community to build stronger neighborhoods and to combat the deleterious effects of the 1906 Race Riots and Jim Crow laws. Neighborhood Union settlement houses provided basic and extracurricular services, including kindergartens for working mothers, vocational classes, and lecture series. The organization’s exceptional, multi-class leadership structure enabled members of the black poor and working classes to lead their own projects with the assistance of Neighborhood Union resources.
Hope’s background provides evidence against broad generalizations of the black elite as paternalistic, and her vision of creating democratic communities that diminished class barriers provides a counter narrative to characterizations of clubwomen and the black elite as engaging in respectability politics in their social work. Understood within its historical and sociopolitical context, Hope’s life and work also challenge mainstream narratives of the Progressive Era and the Social Gospel movement.

Expose Corrupt Courts: Federal Judge: "But you destroyed the faith of the people in their government."
Federal Judge Michael Mills: "But you destroyed the faith of the people in their government."
It takes a little longer for a big city investigation to come to light than it would in a smaller locale. But in addition to being patient, New Yorkers should be encouraged by the recent words of Federal U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mills, notably this Super Bowl day from the town that brought New York Eli Manning- Oxford, Mississippi. There are many issues common to little Oxford, Mississippi and big New York, New York: a need for federal intervention over state corruption; conspiracy; public corruption; and the destruction of the faith people have in their government.
Despite numerous letters from prominent community members and a glowing report of cooperation from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, insurance agent Ken Nowlin was sentenced Thursday to spend 30 months behind bars in a federal prison for conspiracy.
Nowlin was charged in June with conspiracy for paying former Lafayette County Supervisor Gary Massey a “commission” during Massey’s term as supervisor.
In late July Nowlin pleaded guilty to the charge and had been awaiting his sentencing hearing which was held Thursday afternoon at the Federal Courthouse in Oxford before U.S. District Judge Michael Mills. The Ecru insurance agent told Mills he was sorry for his actions.
“Who mislead you?” Mills asked.
“An elected official, your honor,” Nowlin replied.
U.S. Assistant Attorney Dave Sanders told Mills that Nowlin has fully cooperated with the investigation by supplying documents and testifying before a grand jury against Massey.
According to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, Nowlin faced up to 30 months in prison. The U.S. Attorney’s Office filed a motion for downward departure in Nowlin’s favor, asking the court to consider a sentence less than the guidelines stipulate since Nowlin was so cooperative.
But despite the request and his cooperation, Mills sentenced Nowlin to the maximum sentence of 30 months.
Nowlin was also sentenced to pay $275,942 in restitution back to Lafayette County. Nowlin’s attorney, Tony Farese, told Mills that Nowlin had already paid the full restitution on Tuesday.
Mills allowed Nowlin to remain out of custody on bail until March 31 when he will have to report to a prison facility that will be determined at a later date.
Massey and Nowlin were originally charged in June for conspiracy, public corruption and money laundering in a 53-count indictment, which alleged Massey accepted payments in excess of $827,000 during his term as supervisor from 1996 -2003, for the Lafayette County Employee Health Care Contract paid through Nowlin, the agent of record at the time.
Massey pleaded guilty in September to one count of conspiracy and two counts of public corruption. He is still awaiting a sentencing date.
Sanders announced during Thursday’s hearing that the remaining 52 counts against Nowlin will be dropped by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Before he became a supervisor in 1995, Massey was the insurance agent of record for Lafayette County. Federal prosecutors claim Massey used his influence to get Nowlin the job as insurance agent of record in exchange for the commission.
My faith in my government has been shattered because the bastards get away with it!
this Federal Judge should get real! News Flash! The ordinary people have no faith in Government! Everyone knows the Government is going to rip them off one way or the other. Get real brother!
I think this judge put it better than anyone else in recent memory. I know I have completely lost my faith in my government.
who has any faith in the government? yougottobe crazy! the government is always looking to screw you one way or the other, so screw them all! they always lie to us!
this Federal Judge is sick if he thinks most people have any faith in the government. And they know that it's not "their government" since it's been taken from them by the lawyers.
Tarbilly says,all politicians aren't crooked ,they just start working on it before they get elected..Hey remember theyre the ones who created so much unemployment weil be borrowing food from China,next..Oh what a web we weave!!!
The Constitution ,Says life liberty and the persuit of Happiness...Maby that will happen tomorrow, Sure it will?
Why ,I talk like I do,My birthright was taken away at birth,I was not raised by my real parents,they didn't adopt me.Name on birth cirtificate was baby doy johnson until i was thirteen and i found my real dad at age twentyone..Do u wana hear more?dad772904@gmail.com,,Anytime!!
We see You in court.com. My Christmas is never ruined because I am not you.com.
Heck it's not just the judges and attorneys who have violated civil rights and due process in Kansas.... family, friends, government institutions, churches have supported by their silence abuse and defamations in procedures kept secret from me. I am more targeted since protesting the corruption.
Sometimes you can believe in "the kindness of strangers."
