Good morning stock watchers!
It looks like we're set to open lower.
DJIA index futures are off 17 points at 16,919.
S&P index futures are off 3.6 points at 1,946.
Nasdaq 100 futures are down 6 points at 3,787.

- Dow 17,000, oil and records
- by Laura Mandaro
- Add a Comment
Here's a rundown of what we're looking at.
Stocks are coming off record high closes posted in the prior session. For the S&P 500, that was the index's 19th record close of the year.
Oil is near $105, helped by better data and events in prior sessions — namely Japan GDP, actions from the People's Bank of China to loosen bank reserve requirements, and Friday's U.S. jobs report.
Notwithstanding this streak of records, there's still a lot of grumping that the ice is starting to crack. Here's MarketWatch columnist David Weidner on 3 reasons the Dow doesn't deserve to be at 17,000

And we're off. DJIA down 14 points S&P 500 off 3 Nasdaq Composite down 6 points.

- Nasdaq higher
- by Laura Mandaro
- Add a Comment
Slight improvement in just the last few minutes, and tech is leading.
DJIA down 11 points.
Nasdaq just turned higher.
Some factoids: A down day would break a 4-day win streak for the S&P 500.
- 9:56 am
- Dow off, yields up
- by Laura Mandaro
- Add a Comment
So much for that burp of positive.
Dow off 21 points, led by the bona fide industrials — United Technologies and Boeing Co.
Treasurys have been giving back some of those gains this month. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note up at 2.6%, their highest since May 12 on a closing basis.

- Stocks sink more after inventories, JOLTS data
- by Laura Mandaro
- Add a Comment
Looks like stocks hit their peak of the session just before the 10 am data.
We had wholesale inventories climb 1.1% in April and April job openings rise to 4.46 million.
Dow is off 43 points.
Nasdaq Composite down 16 points.
S&P 500 down 7 points.
- 10:27 am
- Complacency, love, and other bull-market killers
- Add a Comment
Speculating about what could kill this bull market seems to be the stock-investor parlor game at the moment.
Ed Yardeni and his investment team channel King Kong to imagine what could kill it. Here's one: strong economic growth that leads to a recession, which then levels these record-high stock prices.
Barb Kollmeyer has the full post. But here's the, ahem, killer quote:
Economic booms usually set the stage for recessions by boosting price inflation and forcing the central bank to tighten monetary policy. The result is a recession caused by either a garden-variety credit crunch or a more hair-raising financial crisis.

Stocks are losing ground today, but with its 2% gain so far in June, the Nasdaq has been getting closer and closer to its 2014 peak.

- Molson Coors leaps
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
Molson Coors /quotes/zigman/363510/delayed /quotes/nls/tap TAP is the biggest winner in the S&P 500, last up 5.5% to an all-time high above $70.
Our Dow Jones colleagues writing for Market Talk suggest there might be a World Cup effect.
"The World Cup starts Thursday, so perhaps there's something there. Slightly more than half of TAP's revenue comes from Europe, though the top line isn't reflective of the company's 42% stake in its US JV with SABMiller (SAB.JO). Still, beer and soccer has always gone well together in Europe."

- Russell: Markets are slightly overbought
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
Jim Russell, senior equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said that markets had been modestly overbought and expected a slight pullback or a sideways trade in the next few days.
Speaking about low volatility, Russell contends that there is internal volatility that is not evideny from the Vix, which measures implied volatility on the S&P 500.
"Vix is not the only measure we look at. We view it as less representative of volatility because of an increased number of bets around it, such as Vix derivatives.
There is fa more volatility internally on the S&P 500 than the Vix is showing right now, as the average stock has not reached the same highs as the index."

In other financial markets:
The dollar rose against the euro Tuesday as investors continued to react to the European Central Bank's decision to cut interest rates and inject liquidity into the euro zone as it seeks to revive the region's low inflation, writes Saumya Vaishampayan.
Gold futures climbed on Tuesday to settle back above $1,260 an ounce for the first time in two weeks, finding support from some weakness in U.S. equities as traders awaited economic data later in the week, write Myra Saefong and William Watts.
Oil futures settled slightly lower on Tuesday, pulling back from a three-month high, following hefty gains in the previous session, as traders looked ahead to the week's updates on petroleum inventories and a meeting of members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

This is my first post from my new iPhone 🙂 and it's certainly trickier than I thought it would be.
My first craft since I got it was this sweet little carrying case while I waited for my hard case to arrive in the mail. The classic 10 min project including cutting. It's on piece sewn up the sides and lined in felt. The only thing I would do differently if I made it again would be to add some template plastic similar sturdy materiL to one side so it would retain its shape better when the phone is out of the case. Is it wrong that I like this much more than the purchases one? Unfortunately it wouldnt protect it much in a fall. 😦

Once the painting is complete, my sole goal is for each viewer to find their own story when looking at the artwork. Still, if one is interested to hear my perspective on the work, I can say that it is, most importantly, about playing with the combination of colours, textures, lines, and more. My paintings, however, are mostly created with blotches of multilayered paint which are not intended to create figurative details as I want the painting to communicate the message as a whole.

Emulation is nothing new and has been around for decades. If you want to learn more about emulation simply read on.
New to emulation?
Emulators are programs that allow you to play outdated video games such as Super Nintendo or Atari on new hardware such as a computer, mobile phone, or even Nintendo NES on Gameboy Advance.. These games are known as ROMs short for Read-Only-Memory. They are software copies of cartridges or CDs such as the Sega Genesis cartridge or the Sony Playstation CD.
To get started, you will first need to decide which system you want to play. Let's pick the old 8-bit Nintendo for example. You will need to head over to the NES Emulators page, and download an emulator for your operating system. One of our old favorites is NESticle. Download this file to your computer, and extract(unzip) all of the programs files. Next, head over to the NES ROMs page and pick out your favorite Nintendo game (that you own). Download that to your NESticle directory.
The rest is pretty simple. Just run the NESticle(or whichever emulator you chose) program, and choose "Load ROM" or "Open ROM" from the File menu. Pick the ROM you wish to play and open it. You are now playing a ROM on your computer! From there you can modify your emulator a bit, and assign different keys to the buttons, setup a controller, or even play online against your friends.
If you are still having trouble getting everything to work, head over to the frequently asked questions pages for more help.
Please note that you must own the original game cartridge or cd and you also must own the system or console you are emulating. These games are not free and are here for educational and backup purposes only. If you do not own any of the games here then go out right now and buy more video games!
Advanced Users
Already mastered emulation? Want to start collecting games? Want to learn advanced features that emulation has to offer? Read on.
The first cool thing about emulation is translations. Since certain games were only produced in Japan and not USA, or vice versa, people have actually modified these games to be playable in a different language. So that long lost Mario 2 or Final Fantasy game can now be enjoyable in your language provided someone has translated it to your language.
Another nice feature about emulators is the save state ability. Which allows you to save your spot at unlimited points in the game. No more need to wait for a save point! If you are tired of having to play through the whole level just to get killed by the boss again, simply save your 'state' right before you fight the boss, and you can instantly reload it and try again. People have even saved very important spots in popular games, and distributed them to the emulation community. So, if you're just plain lazy (or bored), you can go right to the level 9 bowser courtesy of some random kid by downloading a saved state.
Want to modify your ROMs? You can make mario into a leprechaun, luigi look gangster, or princess have a green dress with a simple sprite editor. On the Applications page, we also offer GoodXXX tools for rom-collectors, along with anything else you might need to enhance your emulation experience. Check it out.

It is indicative of the times, one supposes, that in a region where agriculture — and particularly, cotton — has been, and still is, a major economic driver, it "don't get no respect," to borrow a line from comedian Rodney Dangerfield.
Mid-South metropolitan newspapers and TV stations, which once had full-time agriculture editors and reported on the sector daily, now mostly relegate ag news to occasional articles in the business section or tidbits on early morning news shows. Often as not, what reporting they do is critical of farm programs, biotech crops, pesticides, and farming practices.
One of the newspapers recently featured a series of articles focusing on the history of the boll weevil, its impact on the region's cotton production/economy/environment, and benefits/costs of the highly effective eradication program.
The series was followed by an editorial entitled, "Cotton's high ecological cost," which included these statements:
"(The weevil war) … soaked up a third of all insecticides used in the nation … including some of the most toxic compounds ever produced. Farm workers and other rural residents have been sickened, bald eagles, brown pelicans, and peregrine falcons nearly wiped out. Massive fish kills have descended on the Mississippi River like a plague (and) … fish consumption remains a serious health risk in many streams throughout the Mississippi Delta because of lingering residues of now-banned poisons DDT and toxaphene."
While noting that cotton farming practices have changed radically, that newer, more environmentally benign chemicals are being used at extremely low rates, and that production methods now use less water and cause less soil erosion, the editorial concludes that current farm bill negotiations "shouldn't omit the question of how to prevent a repetition of the cotton story in the future of U.S. agriculture. We've seen how it has played out in the Mid-South, and the environmental cost has been high."
No one will realistically argue that agriculture, or cotton, has been environmentally blameless.
Agriculture has had its learning curve — but has it been any worse than auto, steel, and other heavy manufacturing industries of the north that dumped so many chemicals that rivers and streams became toxic sewers (one river even burst into flame) and that filled the air with choking, lung-clogging pollutants?
In just the last 50 years, agriculture has gone from field laborers, primitive machines, and witches brew insecticides to sophisticated equipment and chemicals that have undergone the most rigorous scientific and EPA safety testing.
DDT levels in the environment have declined manyfold since its ban 30 years ago, and despite the horror stories by opponents, there is not a single documented case of it causing cancer in humans (or any deleterious health effect, for that matter). Many reputable scientists contend that Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" allegations about DDT's impact on avian species were grossly overblown.
Countless Americans suffered brain damage from lead in paint before we wised up and banned it; DDT, conversely, has prevented untold suffering and deaths by eradicating malaria in this country.
And mercury from power plants, waste incinerators, cement plants, wastewater treatment plants, and other sources has contaminated more water and fish, with a far more drastic health impact, than toxaphene and DDT combined.

Emmer wheat, also known as farro especially in Italy, or hulled wheat,[2] is a type of awned wheat. Emmer is a tetraploid (2n=4x=28 chromosomes). The domesticated species are Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccum and Triticum turgidum conv. durum. The wild species is called Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccoides. The principal difference between the wild and the domestic species is that the ripened seed head of the wild species shatters and spreads the seed onto the ground while in the domesticated emmer the seed head remains intact, thus making it easier for humans to harvest the grain.[4]
Along with Einkorn wheat, Emmer was one of the first crops domesticated in the Near East. It was widely cultivated in the ancient world, but is now a relict crop in mountainous regions of Europe and Asia.
Strong similarities in morphology and genetics show that wild emmer (Triticum dicoccoides Koern.) is the wild ancestor and a crop wild relative of domesticated emmer. Because wild and domesticated emmer are interfertile with other tetraploid wheats, some taxonomists consider all tetraploid wheats to belong to one species, T. turgidum. Under this scheme, the two forms are recognized at subspecies level, thus T. turgidum subsp. dicoccoides and T. turgidum subsp. dicoccum. Either naming system is equally valid; the latter lays more emphasis on genetic similarities.
For a wider discussion, see Wheat#Genetics & Breeding and Wheat taxonomy
Wild emmer
Wild emmer (Triticum dicoccoides) grows wild in the fertile crescent of the Near East. It is a tetraploid wheat formed by the hybridization of two diploid wild grasses, Triticum urartu (closely related to wild einkorn (T. boeoticum), and an as yet unidentified Aegilops species related to A. searsii or A. speltoides.
Like einkorn and spelt wheats, emmer is a hulled wheat. In other words, it has strong glumes (husks) that enclose the grains, and a semi-brittle rachis. On threshing, a hulled wheat spike breaks up into spikelets. These require milling or pounding to release the grains from the glumes.
Wild emmer wheat spikelets effectively self-cultivate by propelling themselves mechanically into soils with their awns. During a period of increased humidity during the night, the awns of the spikelet become erect and draw together, and in the process push the grain into the soil. During the daytime the humidity drops and the awns slacken back again; however, fine silica hairs on the awns act as hooks in the soil and prevent the spikelets from reversing back out again. During the course of alternating stages of daytime and nighttime humidity, the awns' pumping movements, which resemble a swimming frog kick, will drill the spikelet as much as an inch or more into the soil.[5]
Wild emmer is native to the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East, growing in the grass and woodland of hill country from modern-day Israel to Iran. The origin of wild emmer has been suggested, without universal agreement among scholars, to be the Karaca Dag mountain region of southeastern Turkey. In 1906, Aaron Aaronsohn's discovery of wild emmer wheat growing in Rosh Pinna (now in Israel) created a stir in the botanical world.[6] Emmer wheat has been found in archaeological excavations and ancient tombs. Emmer was collected from the wild and eaten by hunter gatherers for thousands of years before its domestication. Grains of wild emmer discovered at Ohalo II had a radiocarbon dating of 17,000 BC and at the Pre Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) site of Netiv Hagdud are 10,000-9,400 years old. [7] and at the Pre Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) site of Netiv Hagdud are 10,000-9,400 years old.
The oldest evidence of domesticated emmer wheat has found near Damascus, Syria dating from 7,650 to 8,200 years BC. The dryness of the site, requiring irrigation for agriculture, suggests that the emmer was introduced as an already domesticated plant from elsewhere outside the Damascus Basin. Emmer is found in a large number of Neolithic sites scattered around the fertile crescent. From its earliest days of cultivation, emmer was a more prominent crop that its cereal contemporaries and competitors, einkorn wheat and barley. [8] Small quantities of emmer are present during Period 1 at Mehrgharh on the Indian subcontinent, showing that emmer was already cultivated there by 7000-5000 BC.[9]
In the Near East, in southern Mesopotamia in particular, cultivation of emmer wheat began to decline in the Early Bronze Age, from about 3000 BC, and barley became the standard cereal crop. This has been related to increased salinization of irrigated alluvial soils, of which barley is more tolerant,[10] although this study has been challenged.[11] Emmer had a special place in ancient Egypt, where it was the main wheat cultivated in Pharaonic times, although cultivated einkorn wheat was grown in great abundance during the Third Dynasty, and large quantities of it were found preserved, along with cultivated emmer wheat and barleys, in the subterranean chambers beneath the Step Pyramid at Saqqara.[12] Neighbouring countries also cultivated einkorn, durum and common wheat.[13] In the absence of any obvious functional explanation, the greater prevalence of emmer wheat in the diet of ancient Egypt may simply reflect a marked culinary or cultural preference, or may reflect growing conditions having changed after the Third Dynasty. Emmer and barley were the primary ingredients in ancient Egyptian bread and beer. Emmer recovered from the Phoenician settlement at Volubilis[14] (in present day Morocco) has been dated to the middle of the first millennium BC.
Emmer wheat is mentioned in ancient rabbinic literature as one of the five grains to be used by Jews during Passover as matzah (that is, without leavening agents of any kind).[citation needed] It is often incorrectly translated as spelt in English translations of the rabbinic literature but spelt did not grow in ancient Israel, and emmer was a significant crop until the end of the Iron Age. Likewise, references to emmer in Greek and Latin texts are traditionally translated as "spelt," even though spelt was not common in the Classical world until very late in its history.
In northeastern Europe, emmer (in addition to einkorn and barley) was one of the most important cereal species and this importance can be seen to increase from 3400 BC onwards. Pliny the Elder, notes that although emmer was called far in his time formerly it was called adoreum (or "glory"), providing an etymology explaining that emmer had been held in glory (N.H. 18.3), and later in the same book he describes its role in sacrifices.
Today emmer is primarily a relict crop in mountainous areas. Its value lies in its ability to give good yields on poor soils, and its resistance to fungal diseases such as stem rust that are prevalent in wet areas. Emmer is grown in Armenia, Morocco, Spain (Asturias), the Carpathian mountains on the border of the Czech and Slovak republics, Albania, Turkey, Switzerland, Germany, Greece and Italy. It is also grown in the U.S. as a specialty product. A traditional food plant in Ethiopia, this relatively little-known grain has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable landcare.[15]
In Italy, uniquely, emmer cultivation is well established and even expanding. In the mountainous Garfagnana area of Tuscany emmer (known as farro) is grown by farmers as an IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) product, with its geographic identity protected by law. Production is certified by a co-operative body, the Consorzio Produttori Farro della Garfagnana. IGP-certified farro is widely available in health food shops across Europe, and even in some British supermarkets. The demand for Italian farro has led to competition from non-certified farro, grown in lowland areas and often consisting of a different wheat species, spelt (Triticum spelta).
Food uses
Emmer's main use is as a human food, though it is also used for animal feed. Ethnographic evidence from Turkey and other emmer-growing areas suggests that emmer makes good bread (judged by the taste and texture standards of traditional bread), and this is supported by evidence of its widespread consumption as bread in ancient Egypt.[16] Emmer bread is available in Switzerland.[17] In Italy, whole emmer grains can be easily found in most supermarkets and groceries, emmer bread (pane di farro) can be found in bakeries in some areas, and emmer has traditionally been consumed in Tuscany as whole grain in soup. Higher in fiber than common wheat, emmer's use for making pasta is a recent response to the health food market; some consumers[who?], however, judge that emmer pasta has an unattractive texture. Emmer has also been used in beer production.[18] As with most varieties of wheat, however, emmer is probably unsuitable for sufferers from wheat allergies or coeliac disease.[19]

JT promotes Inside Llewyn Davis
The last time we talked about Justin Timberlake, the Actor, it was for a movie called Runner, Runner. Which sucked. And it took a sh-t at the box office. And people -- not just bloggers, but reporters mainstream entertainment outlets too -- implored him to stop trying. So JT pouted and ranted at GQ for half an hour about how mean it was for us to take a dump on his movie.
No one's taking a dump on Inside Llewyn Davis though. That said, it's not a Justin Timberlake movie. Justin Timberlake is IN the movie but it's definitely not his movie. It's a Coen Brothers movie. It's an Oscar Isaac movie. Justin Timberlake can't own this movie. Is that why he looks so grumpy promoting it? Here he is at the junket. Photo Assumption, obviously. But there's a crabby face in there, non?
Did you read the Coen Brothers interview with Rolling Stone recently? They asked Joel about Isaac's performance:
"People would come in and just kill the song "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me." Then we'd ask them to do a scene, and then you'd go, "Um, yeah, this isn't gonna work." You can get almost anybody who's got a modicum of talent through a scene, or two, or three, but you can't do that for an entire movie. For that, you need a real actor. There are more actors who play music more than reasonably well than there are musicians who act reasonably well."

December 3, 2014 | What do the bulk of Republican presidential hopefuls share with the two major teachers' unions in the United States, besides mutual dislike? Turns out there is something: Growing opposition to the Common Core education standards. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) became the latest high-profile Republican to change his stripes and oppose the Common Core on Monday.…

November 1, 2014 | The incumbent advantage in fundraising is undisputed — so when a challenger brings in the larger haul, that often raises red flags for the sitting lawmaker's re-election prospects.

Liberal Group With Ties to Unions Ends Donor Disclosure
August 23, 2012 | Patriot Majority's latest series of attack ads targets the conservative billionaires pumping money into the secretive world of right-wing non-profits, but offers few clues about who is funding its own activities. In a striking example of how the most ambitious actors in the realm of political funding have begun taking advantage of a shift in the legal landscape since 2010, the trail connecting Patriot Majority to its well-known progressive funders has all but melted away.

August 6, 2009 | Former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) is now an infamous scofflaw who now faces decades in prison after a federal jury Wednesday convicted him of 11 counts of racketeering, solicitation of bribery and money laundering.

March 26, 2009 | Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) became chair of the House Education & Labor Committee in 2007, after serving as ranking member for six years before Democrats won control of the House.

Power Players: Appropriations Chair and Organized Labor Have Strong Union
January 15, 2009 | Labor unions are enthusiastic supporters of Rep. Dave Obey, giving him a total of $2 million since 1989. A seat on the Appropriations Committee isn't enough to attract that kind of union support; a chairmanship on the subcommittee that controls Labor Department spending, however, is. Obey will continue to hold that post this year, in addition to his spot as chair of the entire House Appropriations Committee.

Sonny Hallam
David "Sonny" Loyal Hallam, age 79, a lifetime resident of the Kettle Falls and Colville communities, passed away on July 23, 2013 at his home. Dave was born on June 16, 1934 in Old Kettle Falls, the son of Loyal O. and Ellen (Hockersmith) Hallam.David began his early years in Bossburg and then moved with his family to Mingo Mountain near Kettle Falls. Dave attended school at the small schoolhouse on Mingo Mountain before beginning grade school in Kettle Falls. He graduated in 1955 from Kettle Falls High School after taking the opportunity to work in the woods for a short time. Dave returned to the woods following high school and then enlisted in the U.S. Army. Dave was honorably discharged from the Army and returned to Kettle Falls in 1957. While in Kettle Falls, he served in the U.S. National Guard Reserve while owning and operating his logging truck business. In the early 1970's, he also purchased and operated two Texaco service stations, the first at the intersection of Old Kettle Falls and Highway 25 South in Kettle Falls and the second in Colville at Birch and Main Street. He sold the service stations and began work for Vaagen Brother as a heavy equipment operator. The latter half of his career was with Mike Pernsteiner and Pernsteiner Logging. Dave enjoyed working with heavy equipment and finished his nearly 20-year career in the timber industry in 1994. He was a gifted mechanic who used his abilities to rebuild old tractors during his retirement. He could fabricate, rebuild and redesign tractors to nearly any need or specification of their owners.

The End?
Parked and abandoned for many years in a wooded area, this vintage Dodge truck is barely visible from the county road in rural Benton Harbor, Michigan. Brambles, weeds, and wild grapes obscure the views of the truck during much of the year.
Previous offers from years ago to purchase the vehicle were spurned by the owner, stating, "I want to do something with it." He has since passed away.
A local vintage Dodge truck expert tells me that the small cone-shaped, cowl-mounted lights are desirable items for those in the know.

A follow-up to our story here.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A military judge has ordered the release of unaired portions of interviews that CBS and CNN conducted with a woman at the center of a sexual assault case that involved three U.S. Naval Academy football players.
Attorneys for the one former player currently facing charges in the case sought the footage, arguing it is relevant to preparation for his trial set for March. Lawyers for the two networks argued in court last week, however, that the footage is irrelevant and duplicates already available material. They also argued that the journalists shouldn't have to turn over material gathered in the course of reporting.
The military judge overseeing the case, Col. Daniel Daugherty, ruled Wednesday that "the vast majority" of the unaired footage duplicates already available material and testimony by the woman. In a 7-page ruling he found both networks aired "the most news worthy segments," but un-aired portions include "specific, material information and a level of detail not present" in the woman's other statements.
"The Court has extensively reviewed the alternative sources and finds these limited excerpts unique in content," he wrote in saying those segments should be provided to defense lawyers. He later wrote "the press and public interests are best served by disclosing this limited but highly relevant information."
Prosecutors initially accused three Naval Academy students of sexually assaulting a female student in 2012 at an off-campus house in Annapolis, Md., where the school is located. The woman said she didn't remember being sexually assaulted after a night of heavy drinking but heard from others she had had sex with multiple partners at a party. The three men were all football players at the academy at the time.
Last June, the woman gave interviews to CBS and CNN. At her request, neither network showed the woman's face or used her name. The Associated Press is also not identifying her and generally doesn't name alleged victims of sexual assault.
At last week's hearing, the judge discussed providing 5 segments of material from CBS and 12 from CNN. The judge did not say how long those segments lasted. CBS aired about 5 minutes of a 45-minute interview, and CNN aired about 11 minutes of 55 minutes of interviews.
The judge gave lawyers for the two networks 72 hours to appeal his ruling before releasing the segments he determined were unique. A CBS News spokeswoman, Sonya McNair, said they're considering an appeal. A lawyer for CNN did not immediately return telephone messages Wednesday asking whether they would appeal.
The CBS and CNN interviews all aired around the same time that the U.S. Naval Academy's superintendent decided to move ahead with the military equivalent of a preliminary hearing or grand jury investigation in the case. Following those proceedings, the superintendent decided not to go forward with charges against one man, Tra'ves Bush of Johnston, S.C. He did proceed with charges against two others, Eric Graham of Eight Mile, Ala., and Joshua Tate of Nashville, Tenn.
The charges against Graham have since been dropped, leaving Tate as the only remaining defendant. He is set to face a court-martial, the military's equivalent of a trial, in mid-March. He is charged with aggravated sexual assault and making false statements.

Military judge orders CBS, CNN to turn over un-aired interview with sexual assault accuser
