New AKC Obedience & Rally Independent Contractors
The Companion Events Department is pleased to announce the addition of two new independent contractors to the obedience and rally programs.
Mr. John Cox of Washington State has been added as an Independent Contractor Field Representative for the AKC Obedience program. John has been judging AKC obedience for 39 years and has been the owner-handler for multiple Saint Bernards since 1969; achieving multiple conformation Championships, obedience titles (through the Utility Dog Excellent), a VCD2, tracking and Master agility titles in America, and UDs in Canada.
John was the 2016 Companion Events Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. He has been writing the "Dog Talk" and "Random Little Tidbits" articles for "Front & Finish" as informative works for anyone who wishes to learn more about obedience judging. He is a long-time dog fancier and is a dedicated local and national club member. John brings a wealth of knowledge to this position and an eager zest to assist judges and clubs. As an independent contractor, John will be able to continue to enjoy his role as a judge and exhibitor.
Mrs. Marilou McCloskey of New Jersey has been added as an Independent Contractor Field Representative for the AKC Obedience and Rally programs. Marilou got her start in Obedience 27 years ago with an English Springer Spaniel that the breeder made her promise to take to a puppy obedience class; the first night of class the instructor brought in her dog and demonstrated the utility signal exercise and Marilou was hooked. Since that first Springer, Marilou has finished one Championship, three UD's and multiple Rally and Agility titles. She is looking forward to AKC Scent Work, Tracking and most of all, Therapy work at Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania with her current Springer.
Marilou has lived with dogs all her life and loved them all, but says nothing can compare to the bond created by training and competing in Companion/Performance events. She has been judging Obedience since 2004 and judging AKC Rally since the inception of the program. She had the pleasure of judging one of those infamous New Year's Eve 2005 Rally Trials and enjoy every minute of it.

New Obedience Exercises Approved ~ Effective May 1, 2018
The AKC Board of Directors reviewed a proposal by the Companion Events department regarding the Obedience Group Exercises at their October and November meetings. They had in-depth discussions on the recommendation to replace the Group Exercises in the Obedience Novice and Open Classes, as well as in the Preferred Novice, Preferred Open, Graduate Novice, and Team classes, with new exercises that will demonstrate a dog's ability to stay. This was not a new subject, but rather has been a discussion among the Fancy and AKC for numerous years. The AKC wishes to thank the many participants for their suggestions over the last several months and years surrounding this topic. In looking at just the past ten years, below is a history of the subject of Group Exercises leading up to the decision of the AKC Board.
Obedience Regulations Review History 2007 – Present
2007 Obedience Advisory Committee – to discuss all the Obedience Regulations:
- There were a large number of requests to change the Group Exercises and to eliminate the Open out of sight Group Exercise.
- The OAC members were split about what to do.
- Action was tabled. It was decided that AKC would conduct a survey of obedience judges to quantify the issue.
- The 15-month survey took place from Oct 2007-Dec 2008. Judges reported every time a dog moved from the place where it was left in the Group Exercise.
- According to the final report:
- 2,567 dogs moved from the place they were told to stay during the Group Exercises
- Of the dogs that moved, 23% of the dogs interfered with another dog.
2013 Group Task Force – assembled to specifically review concerns regarding the Obedience Group Exercises:
- Many suggestions were received. All the suggestions were reviewed and discussed.
- The Committee made several recommendations to reduce interference. The recommendations were implemented in May 2014:
- If a dog non-qualified during the individual exercises and in the opinion of the judge the dog demonstrated uncontrolled behavior, the judge must release the dog from performing the Group Exercises;
- Dogs must be spaced with a minimum of 4 feet between each dog;
- Require that dogs be under control when entering and exiting the ring;
- If a judge observed any sign of aggression, or potential problems with the dogs as they were assembling outside of the ring to come in for the Group Exercise, the judge must excuse the dog and not allow them into the ring for the Group Exercise.
2014 Obedience Advisory Committee – to discuss all the Obedience Regulations:
- This OAC received many suggestions regarding additional Group Exercise modifications.
- The key additional Group Exercise recommendation was to keep the leash on the dogs in the Novice Group Exercises. This was implemented effective December 2015.
In late 2016 staff decided to hold another Group Exercise Task Force meeting. Meeting was held in June 2017:
- In April, the names of the Group Task Force members were published and the Fancy wrote in many suggestions for changes to the Group Exercises.
- These suggestions and all the previous suggestions were discussed during the June meeting.
- The Task Force recommended the elimination or modification of the existing Group Exercises and the substitution of other exercises to demonstrate a dog's ability to stay.
- Surveys indicated that 66% of the fancy supported eliminating the Group Exercises, 19% were opposed and 15% submitted a variety of alternatives.
- In October, staff supports the Task Force recommendations and submits to the AKC Board for review.
- In November, Board approves the recommendations, which will become effective May 1, 2018.
The responses received from many owners is that this is an interference issue among dogs in the Group Exercises and for some a safety issue. The idea that owners can train their dogs to stay, but they cannot be certain that the handler's dog next to them has been as successful at training their dog to stay, was a strong voice to be heard; and the AKC survey showed this to be a real problem. A dog interfering with another dog, even if it does not result in an attack, impacts a dog's training negatively in public places and in trials.
New Obedience Regulations Effective May 1, 2018
With the approved regulation changes, effective May 1, 2018, videos will be produced and distributed on the AKC Obedience/Rally YouTube Channel to demonstrate correctly performed exercises in an easy to view widespread platform in the coming month. In addition, if you are in attendance for the AKC Obedience Classic in Orlando in December, a demonstration of the new exercises will be performed. AKC Staff will monitor the changes to the classes and consider adjustments if they are needed. AKC thanks all the committee members who have served on Advisory Committees for the future of the sport, and the many participants, for their suggestions leading up to this decision.
The obedience and rally regulations were amended to include language for a closing time for entries and that the closing time shall be no later than 11:59 pm on the third Wednesday prior to the trial for trials held on Friday through Monday. Previously the regulations governing these sports did not address a closing time for entries, but instead defaulted to the Rules Applying to Dog Shows. Clubs have the ability now to extend the closing hour for their entries at their option following the requirements listed below. Effective May 1, 2017, clubs may apply for events with a later closing hour at their option.
- Obedience Regulations – Chapter 1, Section 3. Premium Lists, Entries, Closing of Entries. (Insert as paragraph 5)
- Rally Regulations – Chapter 1. Section 3. Premium Lists, Closing of Entries and Catalogs. (Insert as paragraph 2)
- Every premium list shall specify the date and time at which entries for a trial shall close. The premium list shall also specify the name and address of the Superintendent or Trial Secretary who is to receive the entries.
- For all trials the specified closing date and time must be no later than as outlined in the following schedule:
- For a trial which opens on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, entries accepted not later than 11:59PM on the third Wednesday prior to the trial.
- For a trial which opens on Tuesday, entries accepted not later than 11:59PM on the third Thursday prior to the trial.
- For a trial which opens on Wednesday, entries accepted not later than 11:59PM the third Friday prior to the trial.
- For a trial which opens on Thursday, entries accepted not later than 11:59PM on the third Wednesday prior to the trial.
- Clubs in a cluster of no more than five consecutive days have the option of closing no later than 11:59PM on the third Wednesday prior to the last trial in the cluster.
- Whenever the closing day noted above falls on a postal holiday, entries received in any form up to 24 hours from the published closing date and time may be accepted.
- All other paragraphs in these sections remain unchanged.
- The club will clearly state in its premium list whether transfers will or will not be allowed. If no statement is provided in the premium list the default is to allow transfers.
- A transfer (i.e., from an obedience class to an obedience class; or a rally class to a rally class) may be requested if, according to the owner's records the handler and dog are eligible provided the club offers transfers.
- Transfers from an "A" to "B" class at the same level are allowed provided the host club allows transfers. (When a club does not allow transfers, refer to Section 16b. Entry of Ineligible Dog.)
- The request for a transfer must be in writing and presented to the superintendent or trial secretary at least 30 minutes prior to the start of each trial.
- Clubs may choose to accept transfers prior to the day of the trial and this should be clearly stated in the premium list.
- Transfers may be approved provided the class and judge are available, and the class has not reached its limit.

Dangerous Drugs Lawyers in St. Louis
Warning: Xarelto can cause severe bleeding issues and strokes
What is Xarelto
Xarelto, also sold under the generic name rivaroxaban, is a new type of blood thinner that was approved by the FDA in 2011 to treat:
The Dangerous Side Effects of Xarelto include:
- People with atrial fibrillation that may be prone to blood clots
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVTs)
- Pulmonary embolisms
- Help reduce the risks of blood clots in the lungs, or extremities of people recovering after a surgery.
Xarelto is sold by Johnson & Johnson's pharmaceutical company Janssen as well as Bayer Pharmaceuticals. It is marketed as a replacement to other blood thinners such as Warfin which have been safely sold and used for over 50 years. Xarelto is pushed as more convenient as it does not require the blood monitoring that the older generation anti-coagulants require. The problem is this convenience can come with serious life threatening side effects.
What are the dangers of Xarelto
The FDA has received hundreds of adverse incident reports regarding patients who suffer uncontrolled bleeding while taking Xarelto. What makes this worse is that Xarelto has no known antidote or reversal agent, which means there is no effective way to stop the hemorrhage or bleeding event that can be caused by this drug.
If you or a family member has experienced any of the following while taking Xarelto you may be entitled to compensation:
- Uncontrolled bleeding event
- Gastrointestinal bleed
- Cerebral hemorrhage (Brain Bleed)
- Stroke
- Internal Bleeding
- Death
Free Consultation — Contact Us Today
You need a lawyer with experience in standing up to these corporate giants. If any of the adverse side effects of Xarelto has affected you or a loved one, contact our firm to receive a free consultation with one of our attorneys.

This 27-Year-Old Trend Editor Could Be The Reason You Go Comfy-Chic Next Spring
Meet Vanessa Weste, Trend Editor and resident cool girl at Fashion Snoops, a trend forecasting agency that zeros in on what's cool, what's hot, and what's coming. What does that mean, exactly?
That means Fashion Snoops is prooobably the reason you're wearing that third-knuckle ring right now. And I'd say there's a strong chance Vanessa had something to do with that decision.
At Fashion Snoops, your girl V Weste sources the best in street style inspiration from around the world to make your fashion blog and Pinterest game even stronger, and is now also working on a new initiative surrounding culture and its impact on our lifestyle and what we wear.
Like, she is in the know, ya know?
We caught up with this #boss of a 27-year-old after her whirlwind global Fashion Week tour -- New York, London, Paris, Milan, you know the drill -- to real talk about what it takes to succeed in fashion trend forecasting, the looks you'll most def be interpreting next spring, and the latest beauty product she's obsessed with.
This one was so good, I didn't want the convo to end.
Trend Editor sounds pretty awesome. What does your job entail?
Every day is different for me here at Fashion Snoops. I manage our street style section, so during Fashion Weeks and festival season I am busy pulling trends from all the looks I receive from my photographers. During New York Fashion Week I am out on the street shooting street style, and just this past season I made my way to London and Paris for their Fashion Weeks to shoot street style as well. In addition to maintaining this section I also head up our video production where I produce little 1 -2 minute trend trailers to sum up our visionary and forecasting trends across all sections. I also contribute to our consulting projects, as well as assemble Youth forecasts in conjunction with our Youth Director. Fashion Snoops developed a Culture section this past year that highlights everything from new tech products, store openings, art exhibits, culture movements and lifestyle trends, so I also work closely with our Culture Director to head-up a few of these posts.
What was your experience prior to Fashion Snoops?
After high school I moved to Vancouver, BC, Canada, to attend a fashion school called Blanche Macdonald. Following this, I bounced around working various jobs in the fashion industry -- I sourced textiles for Aritzia, managed a men's clothing store, worked as a stylist and finally a brand manager at a wholesale company before deciding to make the move to New York to attend The Fashion Institute of Technology. During my internship at Fashion Snoops I worked for the online trend and culture magazine TRENDLAND before I started full-time with Fashion Snoops upon graduating from FIT.
What's the best part of the job?
The amount of creative freedom I am given and the ability to travel. I am also very fortunate to work with an amazing team that challenges me creatively daily.
What type of personality would you say would thrive in this role?
Someone who is incredibly outgoing, has a keen eye and the ability to let their mind wander and see past the obvious.
How has your experience as Trend Editor at Fashion Snoops made you grow professionally? Personally?
I have always been a creative person, but my experience at Fashion Snoops has broadened my knowledge of other industries besides fashion. This has given me the capacity to grow both personally and professionally in my career and as a person.
You just wrapped New York Fashion Week, London FW, Milan FW, and Paris FW S/S '16. Phew! What were your top three favorite trends and shows?
My three favorite trends this season and the shows that correspond with them were:
Comfort Culture - Chloe, Balenciaga, Akris, Stella McCartney
Venice Beach - BCBG Max Azria, MSGM, Anna Sui
The Range - Coach, Mara Hoffman, Sacai, Chloe
My top four favorite shows overall were BCBG Max Azria, Chloe, Givenchy and Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini.
Who do you turn to for fashion inspiration?
I look at everything from runway to street style, art, technology, as well as cultural and lifestyle movements. All of these things come into play when we narrow down what our next visionary or forecasting trends will be and these elements influence my own personal style as well.
What's a fun fact about you?
I just recently started boxing and think I may have found my calling in life! Haha, just kidding. It is a really great workout though, and a lot of fun to do with friends.
How do you get going in the mornings?
I am not a morning person at all! I usually hit the snooze button a few times before I make my way out of bed, but once I do I usually start my day with an Earl Grey tea. I just love the smell of it in the morning. On days that I need that extra kick, I'll swap out the tea for an almond milk cappuccino.
Boo-ed up, single, or Tindering?
Haha! I am currently single. I tapped into the whole Tinder thing, but met a few weirdos that kind of made me question the whole online dating world.
I could see that. Best advice you've ever received?
Honestly, I know it's really cliche, but "everything happens for a reason" is a saying that really resonates with me. My mom was the first person to tell me that and I truly believe it. There have been things that have occurred in my life that I believe have led me to be who I am today and to where I am.
Last beauty treatment or product you just bought/tried?
Kari Gran lip whip. I'm obsessed!
A HUGE thanks to Vanessa for answering my Q's! For more from Vanessa, you can follow her on Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr, and follow Fashion Snoops on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Rubin Kazan 4 1 Shamrock Rovers
Nelson Haedo Valdez scored twice as Rubin Kazan took a big step towards the Europa league knockout stages with a comfortable 4-1 win over League of Ireland champions Shamrock Rovers.
Despite another brave attempt from Rovers to get their first Europa League points on the board, the hosts always looked in charge.
Valdez gave the Russian side an early lead, beating Rovers defender Ken Oman too easily and finishing calmly past advancing keeper Ryan Thompson.
Oman quickly made amends though when he equalised two minutes later. Ronan Finn won a free on the right which was whipped to the far post by Billy Dennehy for Oman to score with a header.
Rubin regained the lead on 36 minutes when Rovers failed to clear their lines and the ball broke to Natcho, who finished low with Thompson unsighted.
Valdez then profited from a fine pass by Noboa to make it 3-1 six minutes after the interval.
Ex-Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins got his name on the scoresheet from close range just after the hour mark, thanks to Gökdeniz Karadeniz's cutback from the byline.
Yet even then, O'Neill's team refused to lie down, Karl Sheppard's volley clipping the top of the bar in the closing stages.
The Russian side now need just a point away to PAOK FC to qualify, while Shamrock Rovers welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Tallaght in one last attempt to secure at least a point from the group.
Rubin Kazan: Ryzhikov; Kaleshin, Sharonov, Navas, Bocchetti; Ryazan's (Dyadyun 71), Boboia, Natcho, Karadeniz (Ansaldi 68); Valdez (Kasaev 61), Matins.
Shamrock Rovers: Thompson; Sullivan, Oman, Murray, Stevens; Rice; Dennehy, Turner (Twigg 81), Finn (O'Donnell 69), Paterson (Kilduff 69); Sheppard

PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Coahuila — Members of the Los Zetas drug cartel have been using the border state of Tamaulipas as a safe haven from where they have been launching their attacks into the neighboring states of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila.
Once the attacks are carried out by Los Zetas, they make their way back into Tamaulipas where they have been able to successfully avoid capture. Authorities from Coahuila and Nuevo Leon are not allowed to cross state lines in order to pursue them.
Breitbart Texas has been documenting various violent attacks that have turned into chases in both Coahuila and Nuevo Leon that have mysteriously ended in Tamaulipas. According to law enforcement officials from both states that have spoken to this outlet in an anonymous fashion, there is tension between state law enforcement agencies in the three states for what they claim is the lack of action on the part of Tamaulipas.
In one recent action, members of the Coahuila police force known as GATES (tactical unit) spotted a group of gunmen stealing cars near the rural community of Hidalgo. The police officers tried to arrest the gunmen who fired at police and then fled the area towards Colombia, Nuevo Leon. The small community has a little over 500 residents but is home to Nuevo Leon's international bridge.
When the police officers arrived in Nuevo Leon they faced off against an ambush by other gunmen from the Los Zetas cartel. The Los GATES called for help from their counterparts in Nuevo Leon's Fuerza Civil police force that arrived to Colombia to help them fight off the attack. From there, the gunmen fled towards Nuevo Laredo. At the entrance of Nuevo Laredo the Los GATES forces faced even more resistance.
The governments from Tamaulipas and Coahuila have not released any official information as to the fierce gun battle not provided any information as to the casualties. Officials with the Tamaulipas government
The violence in Tamaulipas, Coahuila and Nuevo Leon is tied to an ongoing internal struggle between rival factions of the Los Zetas cartel. As Breitbart Texas has been reporting for almost 10 month a faction now going by the name Vieja Escuela Z (Old School) has been trying to push out a faction known as Cartel Del Noreste from their lucrative territories that include Nuevo Laredo, Ciudad Victoria and most of Coahuila. The fighting has resulted in unending violence including kidnappings, shootouts beheadings, dismemberments, incinerations and other gory executions.
Editor's Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas' Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by Coahuila's "J.M. Martinez" and Breitbart Texas' Ildefonso Ortiz.

Tom Rice. White Robes, Silver Screens: Movies and the Making of the Ku Klux Klan. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2016. 328 pp. $28.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-253-01843-4.
Reviewed by Felix Harcourt (Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry, Emory University)
Published on H-Slavery (October, 2016)
Commissioned by David M. Prior (The University of South Carolina)
Breaking away from the slew of recent local area studies looking at the Ku Klux Klan revival of the 1920s, Tom Rice's White Robes, Silver Screens provides a useful new lens through which to consider the white Protestant nativist movement. Some of this book will be overfamiliar to those conversant with the history of the second Klan--it is hardly necessary at this point to once again discover that the Klan of the 1920s was generally more preoccupied with the "threat" of Jewish and Catholic immigrants than with African Americans. Yet Rice's focus on the Klan's relationship with film offers interesting possibilities.
As might be expected in a monograph on the Ku Klux Klan and film, Rice delivers a thorough examination of the historical and social context of Birth of a Nation (1915). Although the history of D. W. Griffith's box office smash is a well-trod one, this well-researched consideration of Birth reaches beyond trite cliches about the film as an inspiration for the organization's revival. As Rice makes clear, the Klan's relationship with Birth of a Nation was a complex story of appropriation and reappropriation. Griffith's film was both a foundational text for the second Klan and arguably the organization's most effective recruiting material. In appropriating the image of the Klan, Rice contends, the popular film helped lay a foundation of support for the revived organization in urban areas. Yet, in appropriating the film as a tool to garner members, the Klan actually undermined not only the film's mainstream appeal but also--by extension--the broad support for the Reconstruction Klan in postwar public memory. This argument would benefit from greater support at points, but overall offers a thought-provoking take on what could otherwise be a tired topic.
Rice's major contribution really lies in broadening the scope of the Klan's relationship with film beyond Birth of a Nation. Here, the 1920 Fox film The Face At Your Window is almost as important to understanding the rise of the Klan as Griffith's work. While not a film about the Klan, resourceful Klan recruiters made a valuable promotional tool out of the onscreen vigilante heroics of the American Legion--a group that Rice frequently uses to ground the Klan in its contemporary context. The self-proclaimed Invisible Empire enthusiastically coopted modern media to attract new members, and was not shy about twisting apparently unrelated popular entertainments to its own end.
Key to this process was the Klan's use of film to publicize the organization and define the Invisible Empire's public identity. It was through image and display, primarily by borrowing the Klan robe from Birth of a Nation, that the second Klan was initially able to differentiate itself from the many other fraternal organizations of the time. As such, a visual medium like film was vital to consolidating popular understanding of the character and function of the Klan. This process was not limited to appropriating the films of others. The Invisible Empire made multiple forays (some more successful than others) into producing its own motion pictures. Rice provides readers with a well-researched analysis of often overlooked films like The Fifth Horseman (1924), The Traitor Within (1924), and Toll of Justice (1923), all of which effectively attempted to brand the organization as an appealing and positive force for white Protestant Americanism.
Rice also astutely situates this struggle within the larger context of two contemporary debates. First, the use of film as propaganda had serious implications for the question of whether movies were nothing but a commercial entertainment (and therefore not deserving of protection under the First Amendment) or whether cinematic innovation had wider ramifications for society. Second, the issue of whether the Klan could successfully define its own visual identity was crucial given the group's deep interest and investment in the postwar ideological brawl over what it meant to be an "American." This wider struggle also fueled Klannish condemnation of a film industry seen as tainted by Jewish influence--most notably here in the largely successful protests against screenings of Charlie Chaplin's The Pilgrim (1923).
Rice situates this enmity within a conscious effort by the Klan to retain relevance by attacking modern media while positioning the group's moralizing tendencies--and the group itself--within contemporary norms. Although interesting, this analysis threatens to reach beyond the evidence provided. The argument also stumbles in places in seemingly taking the rhetoric of Klan officials and publications as indicative of internal consensus, when the fractured organization was far from monolithic in opinion on almost any subject. More successful is Rice's consideration of how these films were viewed, with the picture theater itself a hotly contested site.
With regard to the Klan's protests and propaganda, the book emphasizes ideological reasoning, with little attention to possible economic motivations. The latter are far more evident in Rice's consideration of how "mainstream" cinema responded to the Klan (although it is never made entirely clear how "mainstream" is defined here). The multifarious depictions of the Klan that could be found on screens across the country in the 1920s, particularly in comedies and westerns, were shaped by the clash between the desire to exploit public interest in the group and the fear of alienating audiences. As Rice makes clear, movie studios' resulting tightrope act was made even more precarious by industrial regulations that made it difficult to portray the Klan's hatreds on screen in any concrete way. As a result, the image of the Klan--that is, the costume that defined its visual identity--largely became divorced in popular cinema from its ideological baggage. As a result, studio films (even those critical of the organization) often had the effect of moderating and inadvertently legitimizing the Invisible Empire for mass audiences. Rice makes this particularly clear in a compelling comparison between the visually attractive appearances of a largely depoliticized Klan in the films of the 1920s and the far more critical depictions of the organization in the social problem films of the 1930s. It is only a shame that the analysis ends in 1944 with the formal disbanding of the second Klan organization, as Rice's argument would be enriched by the inclusion of 1951's anti-Klan message picture Storm Warning. Nonetheless, Rice offers a stimulating and fresh approach to the subject that will be of interest to scholars of the Ku Klux Klan, public memory, and the interwar period more broadly.

Scheme outline
Construction of a new dual two-lane route to carry the A249 from the current end of the dual carriageway to Sheerness. It includes provision of a viaduct across The Swale to replace the existing lifting bridge which causes severe delays. The route will be grade separated at the Iwade roundabout, with a larger roundabout at the scheme's southern terminus on the existing dual carriageway at Cowstead.
The full title of this scheme is the A249 Iwade Bypass to Queensborough Improvement Scheme (incorporating The New Swale Crossing). The DBFO contract was awarded to Sheppey Route Ltd in February 2004.
This scheme was completed in and we're no longer accepting updates or changes to this page.

Chicago saw a spate of shootings and a fatal stabbing overnight, a more typical night of violence in the city after a 60-hour lull that ended early Friday.
The 2½ day streak without a shooting in the city ended about 1:40 a.m. Friday when a 47-year-old South Side man was shot in a robbery over a snowblower and cash.
Friday night and early today, two people were shot to death and a third fatally stabbed, according to police.
In the Chatham neighborhood, police found Derrick Gray, 40, shot to death inside his home in the 8200 block of South Langley Avenue just before midnight.

OUTSIDERS THE END who are today's outsiders?
where is art made? what media is being used? what are the implications
for art education? • Alternative to a consumption-centered culture
• "a self proclaimed cultural movement, challenging the symbolic codes
of mainstream culture" (Purdue, Durrschmidt, Jowers, & O'Doherty, 1997,
p. 647).
• detachment from global commercial and corporate powers, and to return
the reins to the every-person
• alienation of labor – proletariat/bourgeois conflict now played out through
manipulation of signs, symbols, and information
• DIY forms of artistic production signal the power of outsiders to
effect the art world and world at large • cut-and paste fanzines, low-fi production and
• a "working class credibility" at odds with the main-
stream music scene
• inspired the marketing of this hand-made aesthetic
to mainstream and corporate campaigns • handmade vs. mass-produced
– Faythe Levine claims that it is
empowering for people to make things
by hand, and that this empowerment is
powerfully contagious. (Walker, 2009,
p. 38)
• growing subculture of boutiques, swap
meets, and craft fairs
• generally refer to selves as makers
rather than artists • Tagging vs. graffiti vs. street art
• Transgressive activity
• Progression of artistry in train tagging,
stenciling, postering, stickers, etc. Beautiful Losers self-created community of "outsiders" who broke into the art world

Brief but severe thunderstorms drenched the Chicago area Wednesday and left at least 9,500 homes and businesses temporarily without power, authorities said.
A weather system, accompanied by heavy rain and lightning, swept into the north and northwestern suburbs about 1 p.m., where the most damage occurred, said National Weather Service spokesman Steve Kahn. Caused by a collision of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico with cooler air from the Great Lakes, the system passed relatively tamely through northwestern Indiana about 6 p.m., he said.

Three others also scored in double figures, as Robert Guyton had 11 while Justin Busby and Michael Green chipped in 10 apiece.
The Saints advance to take on Hilton Head Prep on Thursday at 5 p.m. It will be played at the Sumter Civic Center.

Fontina, Asparagus, and Leek Strata
Stratas are meant to be put together in advance and refrigerated overnight or at least 4 to 6 hours before baking, which makes them ideal for a plan-ahead brunch or supper. Instead of adding a final layer of bread to the top, I prefer to use breadcrumbs, which are less dense. For bread, use sturdy day-old sandwich bread or an Italian bread, sliced about 1/4-inch thick.
How to Make It
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add asparagus, leeks, and water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley, tarragon, lemon rind, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
Arrange half of bread slices in a single layer in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top bread slices with half of asparagus mixture, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat procedure with the remaining bread, asparagus mixture, and 1/2 cup cheese.
Combine 1/8 teaspoon pepper, milk, eggs, and egg white, and stir with a whisk until well-blended. Pour the milk mixture over strata. Cover strata, and chill for 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Uncover strata; sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake at 400° for 40 minutes or until set.

Skip to comments.John Kerry Gives Demos Botched Campaign
Posted on 11/01/2006 10:23:46 AM PST by truthandlife
The Democratic Party is the political equivalent of the Keystone Cops, or the gang that couldnt shoot straight. In football terms, the GOP has presented them with the ball on the one yard line and instead of pushing it in, they run the wrong way.
The Democrats are an amazingly incompetent group of politicians, always presenting to the American people the most liberal and extreme members who do not represent mainstream American values. The latest gaffe involves idiotic U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-MA) who supposedly misspoke at a rally in California and instead of criticizing the President of the United States, criticized the brave men and women of the military. He told a student rally in California that they would get stuck in Iraq if they didnt study hard. A political firestorm soon erupted and Kerry later claimed that it was a botched joke about Bush. Regardless, it was heard by U.S. troops as an insult and Kerry should have done the respectful thing and immediately apologized. Instead, he went on the attack and claimed he learned the lessons of 2004 by responding to criticism vigorously.
Sadly for Kerry, he is as clueless as ever. He played the 2004 campaign the wrong way and he played this incident the wrong way as well. Unfortunately for Democrats, the Kerry episode is a distraction and will serve to stop Democratic momentum and help energize the GOP base voters. Republicans can now take the high road of supporting U.S. troops and lauding them while blasting their opponents, whose 2004 presidential nominee made an insulting and ill-considered remark, whether it was botched or not.
In 2004, Kerry lost the presidential race because he was the wrong candidate at the wrong time. The right Democrat could have beaten Bush in 2000 and 2004; however, Democrats continue to nominate liberal losers like Al Gore and John Kerry, both relics of a bygone era and representing the most radical face of the Democratic Party. By inserting himself into the news now, Kerry is just reminding Americans about the last campaign, one in which the Democrats lost as Republicans painted them as weak on battling terror, pro tax increases and out of step with mainstream American values. Kerry is the perfect representation of the elite northeastern Senator who is more liberal than the average American. He is also pure and simple a political fool and he showed it once again yesterday. He could have handled the situation with class, but instead he handled it like a stark raving maniac.
Democrats need to lock up John Kerry for the next week. Today he is canceling political appearances around the country and going back to Washington D.C. He is the last person who should be campaigning for Democratic candidates. For one, he is a loser, who is also pretty reckless in his comments and has very little political skill. He reminds Americans once more that the Democratic Party is left of the country and shows why the Democratic Party cannot take advantage of so many GOP opportunities, because they are ill-equipped. The Democrats are represented by relics, people like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry and Howard Dean. The Democrats desperately need new leaders who will energize the American people and represent their values more accurately. The Republicans have made mistakes, but to capitalize, the Democrats need to have the right leadership. John Kerry is not the right type of leadership and if the Democrats dont realize their mistake, their gains in this mid-term election will be muted and their chances of finally re-taking the White House in 2008 will be slim to none.
This gaffe certainly helps, but I don't believe the Dems were going to take the House or Senate, anyway. At least this gives them a scapegoat for November 8th. In 2000, it was the Supreme Court. In 2004, it was Christian voters and "rigged" voting machines. They have excuses-a-plenty.
It also seems like Markos Moulitsas Zuniga is having zero impact on this election - despite the grand claims of only a few months ago.
Ditto for MoveOn.org and their Nazi enabler George Soros.
"Excuses are like a$$holes. Everybody has one, and they usually stink."
John F'n Kerry .. the gift from the Dumbocrats that keeps on giving
This is priceless!
OMG what great troops we have.
Great photo.
LOL!!!I LOVE our MILITARY!!! One MUST be intelligent to do jokes well.....Kerry's "joke" was lame-o and this sign is GENIUS!!
John Kerry:
"If you dont finish your homework you will go to Iraq and rape, cut off ears, cut off heads, tape wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turn up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of Iraq.
exactly what I was thinking... seems like this was almost planned...
This could be interesting in the short-term AND long, politically.
The polls are still insisting the Dems will take seats. If they can't spin themselves out of their self-dug hole if the GOP wins, they *might* turn on Kerry for blowing it. If Kerry is drummed out of a possible 2008 bid, it narrows the field down for Hillary.
Ack, I need to retire my tinfoil hat between Voting Day and New Years!
Drudge has it (that photo) up on his site now!
Kerry is so F'n Toast.
Ya gotta love the fact that he has D-Mass after his name. Doesn't that stand for DUMB-@SS???
And after the 8th, will Kerry get an invitation from Pelosi and Reed to join them at a post-mortem - in Fort Marcy Park?
Yeah, sorta like they did his wife after her nominating speech.
What really irritates me about all this is his lame attempt to deflect his responsibility for the statement by saying it was directed at Bush's policy in Iraq. Does he really think we're as stupid as he is?
Republicans don't need to "paint" Democrats as this; that is exactly what Democrats are.
