Exploring Andrew & Jamie Wyeth's World (Photos)
The notion of place is important to many artists—Monet tirelessly painted his garden. O'Keeffe played out her love of New Mexico in paint. But it has never been made so powerfully concrete to me as when I traveled with Denver Art Museum colleagues to Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania and mid-coast Maine in preparation for the upcoming exhibition Wyeth: Andrew and Jamie in the Studio.

Why Flowers? Impressionist Artists and the Modern Flower Still Life
Why did French artists of the 19th century paint flowers? Was it a way for them to respond directly to nature, a connection to artistic tradition, or simply the ideal modernist subject matter, void of narrative?
In this lecture, Dr. Heather MacDonald, co-curator of the exhibition In Bloom: Painting Flowers in the Age of Impressionism, will discuss the history of flower painting in France and how it became such a vital and innovative practice in the hands of the impressionists and their contemporaries. More

Check out Some of the DAM's Mustaches in Honor of Movember (Photos)
Movember, a combination of the words "mustache" and "November," is an annual event during which men grow mustaches in November to raise awareness for various men's health issues. In honor of it, we put together a selection of 'staches at the Denver Art Museum.
The campaign is run by The Movember Foundation. Their vision is to "get men to grow mustaches and the community to support them by creating an innovative, fun, and engaging annual Movember campaign." More

A History of Frames
The illustrated talk will provide a survey of the history of frame styles and framing practices, from the Renaissance to the 20th century. Reference will be made to the frame in the context of historic interior design and the development of ornament, collectors and their taste in framing and the relationship between artists and their frames. Carving, gilding and decorative techniques in frame making will also be discussed.
Doors open at 5:30 pm. Seating is limited and on a first-come basis. More
Daniel Sprick's Fictions: Recent Works
"Upon first glance, viewers might think Daniel's works are photographs because of their stunningly realistic elements. However, the longer we look at one of his paintings, the more we become aware that they are anything but a part of our world. We encounter Sprick's paintings not so much as statements, but more as experiences, whereby we engage deeply with his creativity."
- Timothy J. Standring, exhibition curator and Gates Foundation Curator at the DAM More
Beyond Pop Art: A Tom Wesselmann Retrospective
"[One of] 15 international summer art exhibitions you should definitely see." — The Huffington Post
"This show promises to be one of the greatest art events of the summer." — Michael Paglia, art ltd. magazine
Beyond Pop Art: A Tom Wesselmann Retrospective features the work of painter Tom Wesselmann, who is widely regarded as one of the leading figures of American pop art. More
Cubist paintings were based on things in the visible world. Yet they often showed objects fractured, or broken, as if seen from more than one point of view at once. This rotation includes 14 paintings, ranging from Nature Morte (1914) by Pablo Picasso, to Roy Lichtenstein's The Violin (1976). More
Canaletto - Frame Conservation
Also part of the TEFAF was the conservation of the painting's frame. The frame is "period," meaning stylistically it is of similar age as that of the painting, but not original to our Canaletto. This is not surprising since frames, historically, were not really perceived as works of art themselves and, indeed, the idea of placing a higher value on the "package" of both the painting and its original frame is a relatively new concept. Our frame is constructed of wood with hand-carved elements originally gilded using water and oil gilding techniques. More
Sovereign: Independent Voices
Sovereign: Independent Voices highlights the work of three leading American Indian contemporary artists, Kent Monkman, Rose Simpson, and Virgil Ortiz, who have received international acclaim. These artists challenge people to think more broadly about the place of native artists in the contemporary art world through a fusion of historic techniques with contemporary styles and ideas. The included works reflect meditations on the self and native histories in a variety of media, including painting, sculptural ceramics, and multimedia works. More
Drawing Room: An Intimate Look at French Drawings from the Esmond Bradley Martin Collection

Inspired by the drawings cabinets of gentlemen and connoisseurs, this exhibition will offer a space where visitors can get close to artworks, the intimate nature of which invites contemplation and close-up viewing. Curator Angelica Daneo notes the special immediacy of a work-on-paper where little separates the viewer from the direct hand of the artist. More

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 22 reviews
This hotel was a great value. Short drive to the Nürburgring. The included breakfast was awesome and you even get your own reserved table.
I expected a hotel but this was more of a bed and breakfast. It's about 15 min away from the race track which is great. The walls are kind of thin and the restaurant closes at 9 so I hope you want to go to bed early. I was unlucky and had a couple of mean neighbors who would bang on the wall whenever my girlfriend and I spoke in anything louder than a whisper. But the staff is extremely friendly and the price can't be beat
The hotel is clean and cozy, rooms don`t have numbers, but flower names, that way you can brush up on your German language skills. The hotel has a lovely Terrace, that is very well kept, you can drink a cup of coffee or tea there, while looking at the wonderful scenery. At the first floor, there is a lounge, where you can have a nice chat with your friends and organize your next hiking trip. They also have a Pillow-bar, they make all kinds of wellness-pillows there, some you can borrow and some you can buy, you can also have a custom-made pillow if you want to. Restaurant is very good, we ate there every night, so if you go there looking for traditional cuisine, you`re in the wright place. They also serve vegetarian dishes and have a kids' menu. Staff if very polite and helpful, quick service and they will go out of their way to make you feel at home. They offer a variety of services from lunch-packs to excursions and tours so you can check their web-site for more on that. But all in all, we had a very pleasant stay at this wonderful hotel and we will surely come back again.
After spending a couple of nights in a tent at the Nurburgring for the 6hr WEC race we couldn't have found somewhere better. Easy to get to in a quiet village a short drive from the circuit we got a very warm welcome, large double room (Rose) with comfy sofa, great shower etc. Perfect for us to relax after a long day and get a good night's sleep, breakfast was also very good (hot and cold) and we'll definitely go back if we're in the area again.
Stayed for a night while at the Nurburgring, very handy to the track and was well looked after by the staff. Would stay here again!

Lost Horizon by PolaskoWatch

It is so beautiful. It has a lot of emotion in it. What inspired it?
Incredably beautiful!
Such delicate brushwork and amazing colours!
This painting is very beautiful in a traditional way. Something about the mood and the horizon is very captivating - it feels like there's something exciting, a story or an adventure. The layered skirt of the maiden and the flowers are very delicate and dreamy.

Right now, it really takes a lot of time to manage everything correct, that's why a new system is needed.
Since some time we do the AM management.
This gives us more inside information about editors and what there doing.
But, it also takes a lot more time. More then I toughed before.
So now we are brainstorming for a new system to work with. Therefore I would like to ask you, the 'normal editor', about your opinion.
This is a brainstorm topic. Nothing is decided yet. Everything is still possible, so please no big discussion about little points, just post everything that comes up your mind. Everything is useful.
I would describe the idea like this:
Less locking, more communication.
This is what we came up with yesterday:
We would like to have a lot small AM-areas spread over the country wit h lv3 editors.
Those editors can lock roads that are different from the aerials.
Above this layer of AM-areas we would like to have a group of LV-4 editors with each one a bigger AM-area.
They will be the coaches of the lv-3 editors in their area.
The lv-4 editors can lock the minor and major highways when necessary.
Then we have above that the CM's.
They can lock the freeways and are the coaches of lv-4's
Please, your reaction!

In 1989 I met Donald Trump several times in Palm Beach in Florida where he was trying to stop jets from a newly expanded Palm Beach International Airport from roaring over his enormous mansion. This was Mar-a-Lago, a magnificent house with 58 bedrooms and 33 bathrooms which Trump had bought four years earlier without realising it was under the flight path.
I learned about Trump's problem because I knew a Canadian paper and pulp magnate who had bought a house near Mar-a-Lago and was also suffering from the airport noise. He was bitter that the people who had arranged for him to visit his new home prior to purchase had carefully chosen a brief moment when there were no planes passing overhead. The two multi-millionaires had set up an organisation that aimed to unite the less well-off people living in West Palm Beach and the plutocrats of Palm Beach, who were not natural allies, in order to get something done about the planes. There was plenty to complain of because, after an airport expansion the year before, there were 200 planes taking off every day.
I had mentioned what was happening in Palm Beach to a friend on a magazine in New York who promptly asked me to write a piece about it. I suspect that the idea was that I would produce a knock-about account of the farcical failure of Trump's self-serving efforts to unite mansion owners, who lived there irregularly, and the less well-heeled but permanent population. In the event, the article was never published, possibly because I wrote that Trump's campaign to reduce the noise level, involving a curfew on night-time flying, a ban on the noisier aircraft and the enforcement of existing airport noise restrictions, seemed perfectly sensible.
In the long term, the agitation combined with the threat of legal action by Trump and my Canadian friend must have worked, since I noticed a year later that Palm Beach airport had just become the first airport in the American South to limit and possibly ban the noisiest planes. But all was evidently not entirely well, because in January this year, a quarter of a century after I had been in Palm Beach, Trump was suing Palm Beach County for $100m (£65m) alleging that officials had pressured the Federal Aviation Authority into a "deliberate and malicious" act by routing planes from the airport over Mar-a-Lago.
It is not that Trump shows any great clairvoyance, but his words resonate because there is such a vacuum of clear thinking in Washington and Western Europe
I remembered Trump and his anti-noise campaign when watching him in recent weeks being repeatedly interviewed as presidential candidate about the Middle East. The interviewers for television and newspapers were generally hostile, or at least patronising and incredulous, when Trump spoke positively about Russian intervention in Syria, the need to combat Isis and the disastrous state of Iraq and Libya. Most of what he was saying was common sense, but it is a measure of the degree to which propaganda slogans have replaced realistic discussion of these problems that his remarks were immediately dismissed or derided by politicians and the media.
Asked by an NBC news presenter if Iraq and Libya had been better off when Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were in power, a question most politicians would have dodged, Trump said: "Iraq is a disaster … Libya is not even a country. You can make the case, if you look at Libya, look at what we did there – it's a mess. If you look at Saddam Hussein with Iraq, look what we did there – it's a mess."
This should not be controversial stuff. Many Iraqis and Libyans are glad to have got rid of the old dictators, but they have no doubt about the calamities that have befallen their countries since the change of regime. But how often in the British general election was David Cameron challenged for his part in reducing Libya to primal anarchy?
Speaking about the White House's policy of supporting the Syrian armed opposition, Trump truthfully said the administration "doesn't know who they are. They could be Isis. Assad is bad. Maybe these other people are worse." He said he was bothered by "the concept of backing people they have absolutely no idea who they are". Again, US officials admit that they have armed opposition fighters who, on entering Syria promptly handed their weapons over to Jabhat al-Nusra, the local representatives of al-Qaeda. Trump added: "I was talking to a general two days ago. He said: 'We have no idea who these people are.'"
What is striking about these interviews is the self-confidence with which the American and British interviewers regurgitated gobbets of government propaganda and expressed surprise when Trump disagreed with them. The journalists questioning Trump appear to have accepted, without much thought and against all the evidence, the rebranding of al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham, which is extremist Islamist and close to the Muslim Brotherhood, as anti-Assad "moderates" from the moment they were attacked by Russian aircraft and missiles.
Donald Trump's most controversial quotes
Donald Trump's most controversial quotes
1/14 On Isis:
"Some of the candidates, they went in and didn't know the air conditioner didn't work and sweated like dogs, and they didn't know the room was too big because they didn't have anybody there. How are they going to beat ISIS?"
2/14 On immigration:
"I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me —and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."
3/14 On Free Trade:
"Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people."
PAUL J. RICHARDS | AFP | Getty Images
4/14 On Mexicans:
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists."
5/14 On China:
"I just sold an apartment for $15 million to somebody from China. Am I supposed to dislike them?... I love China. The biggest bank in the world is from China. You know where their United States headquarters is located? In this building, in Trump Tower."
Getty Images
6/14 On work:
"If you're interested in 'balancing' work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable."
7/14 On success:
"What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate."
8/14 On life:
"Everything in life is luck."
9/14 On ambition:
"You have to think anyway, so why not think big?"
Getty Images
10/14 On his opponents:
"Bush is totally in favour of Common Core. I don't see how he can possibly get the nomination. He's weak on immigration. He's in favour of Common Core. How the hell can you vote for this guy? You just can't do it."
11/14 On Obamacare:
"You have to be hit by a tractor, literally, a tractor, to use it, because the deductibles are so high. It's virtually useless. And remember the $5 billion web site?... I have so many web sites, I have them all over the place. I hire people, they do a web site. It costs me $3."
Getty Images
12/14 On Barack Obama:
"Obama is going to be out playing golf. He might be on one of my courses. I would invite him. I have the best courses in the world. I have one right next to the White House."
13/14 On himself:
"Love him or hate him, Trump is a man who is certain about what he wants and sets out to get it, no holds barred. Women find his power almost as much of a turn-on as his money."
Getty Images
14/14 On America:
"The American Dream is dead. But if I get elected president I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before and we will make America great again."
Trump discounts the widespread belief that Putin wants to destroy these mythical moderates and for some unexplained reason will not attack Isis. He has objected strongly to long discredited nostrums such as "nation-building", suggesting in another interview that it is wrong "to tell people who have [had] dictatorships or worse for centuries how to run their own countries".
It is worth viewing or reading these interviews with Trump and taking them seriously, because in Britain and much of the United States, Trump is demonised as an exotic celebrity with no understanding of what is happening in the world. Also noticeable is the depressing degree to which the interviewers parrot an acritical establishment line on developments in Iraq, Libya and Syria. This media blindness compounds government misjudgements and prevents lessons being learned from previous disasters.
It is not that Trump shows any great clairvoyance, but his words resonate because there is such a vacuum of clear thinking in Washington and Western Europe about the wars that are sweeping the Middle East and North Africa. Most politicians are afraid of being pilloried as unpatriotic if they stray far from the official line. In Britain, debate on possible use of British aircraft in bombing Isis in Syria ignores the real political and military landscape in which there is a shortage of warplanes to drop bombs and allies on the ground able to identify targets.
It should by now be clear that defeating Isis and bringing an end to the Syrian and Iraqi civil wars can only be brought about by agreement between the five main outside powers involved in the war: the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey. They alone have influence over allies and proxies inside Syria and Iraq to force them to negotiate seriously. This is very unlikely to happen while all sides inside and outside Syria believe that war still gives them the best chance to survive and to win. It is a measure of the failure of Western leaders to understand the crisis in the Middle East that, in speaking of it, none of them show the same clarity of mind as Donald Trump.

Beckham's birthday bash
Beckham's 'spicy' birthday dinner...
David Beckham treated himself to a £4,500 suit and a £14,000 watch from Saville Row for his 32nd birthday yesterday. He then went on to dinner at London's Cipriani restaurant, where you could be mistaken for thinking it was Victoria's big day. The couple were joined by former Spice Girls, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Brown, with Melanie Chisolm being the only no-show.
Brown made an appearance just weeks after the birth of her daughter, Angel Iris who is set to be the subject of a paternity battle with actor, Eddie Murphy. Geri was accompanied by Little Britain star, David Walliams. Other guests included Gordon Ramsay and his wife, Tana, Victoria's sister Louise, David's sister Joanne and Davinia Taylor.

Caped Crusader – Martha Freud
Being British I feel it is my national duty to complain about the weather, but when you have a rain coat that makes you feel like a cross between a caped crusader and an undercover detective it is hard not to feel empowered.
Caped attire is a genius way of wearing clothes in maximum comfort, for they can feel as soothing as being swathed in a blanket, simultaneously cleverly highlighting some of the figure's most flattering parts with well cut neck lines and high waisted belts. And whilst a superhero may wear his cloak to help disguise his identity, I have found it most useful to conceal upper arms that haven't seen any exercise for a few months, and a waist that had a really good time this Christmas…
Cloaked clothing is not only my weapon of choice when battling the elements outside, this season's evening-wear includes dresses with a mono-wing, and even some cape-lets. The kind of frocks you would imagine on Mrs Bruce Wayne at the fabulous functions she has to go to as the wife of a billionaire philanthropist / superhero. Sophisticated, playful and high-flying.
Product featured: Cape, Wool Draped Sweater, Wool Crepe Poncho, Printed Chiffon Dress

Proof that dreams really do come true, Bishop/Pastor Kenneth Adkins has admitted to lying. According to The Florida Times-Union, 15 minutes after the polls opened on July 26, Adkins posted an endorsement of Glynn County Commission candidate J. Peter Murphy by Georgia Representative Jeff Stone on Facebook.
Getting the endorsement of a state representative would be a great boost for the campaign of someone running for a county commission seat. Or it would have been if Rep. Stone had actually endorsed Murphy.
In a press release hastily sent out July 28, according to the TU, Stone categorically denied making any such endorsement and claimed that Murphy's campaign "fraudulently" fabricated it.
Or not so oops.
Adkins later admitted to inventing the endorsement because, he said, he was upset by the "unfairness" of Jones endorsing Murphy's opponent, incumbent Dale Provenzano.
So ... that just happened.
But in a bizarre twist, Adkins, our favorite Twitter blockerer who has been lambasted by the disparate likes of Folio Weekly Magazine, Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry and basically every member of the LGBTQ community who lives in Northeast Florida, decided to eat some humble pie.
Well, not eat, rather, wear.
In a rare showing of self-awareness, Adkins, who told the TU that his company, US Campaign Strategies, hasn't worked for the Murphy campaign since making some appalling statements on Twitter in the aftermath of the Pulse Orlando shooting, and also said the candidate had no part in the fake endorsement, decided to use his notoriety to do some good.
So from 7 - 10 a.m. on this Friday, August 5, anyone who donates 20 backpacks to a drive for school supplies in Glynn County can hit Adkins in the face with a creme pie, which he told the TU would be "supplied." The event will take place in front of Parker Kaufman Realty at 509 Gloucester Steet in Brunswick, Georgia.

The owner of one local business is finding out exactly how fast word travels on the Internet – and how mighty and swift its vengeance can be.
Early this morning a screenshot of a Facebook spat between Angela Lannon Wilcox and Lisa Thomas, Heather Allen and Brian Guiry was posted at Imgur.com/irWgbiF.
Thomas said that it all started when she posted a video from the Republican National Convention during which a Queen song plays in the background on her Facebook page. "I put that video up because it's hilarious," Thomas said. She said tongue-in-cheek banter ensued with people asking about whether the RNC had permission to play the song, if Donald Trump knew Freddie Mercury was gay, etc.
The lighthearted conversation took a darker turn when Wilcox commented, "Do you have something better … we have the BODY COUNT … what you hot … sheep."
This sparked what can only be described as an epic war of words.
"[Wilcox] came out of nowhere very angry, being a bully," Thomas wrote today via Messenger.
After Thomas commented that she had "no idea" what Wilcox wrote, Wilcox fired back. "[T]hat's because you are stupid. The number of people killed by Islamic Extremists. You didn't understand, because you are a stupid regurgitating dummy of the Left."
Thomas demurred that she didn't understand because of "poor grammar" and pointed out that is "ironic" that Wilcox would "be screaming about Islamic extremists in the name of Trump."
Wilcox responded, "yes…and you is so educated …is you employing anyone? … I have 4 employees…how mannies checks do you sign each week…or are you just another unemployed 'intelligent' liberal? DUMBASS." [sic]
It got worse from there. Guiry, Thomas and Allen's attempts to lighten the mood with jokes seemed to … More
Surrounded by residential areas, Taksim Meydani (Taksim Square) is the symbolic center of Istanbul and the most cosmopolitan city in Turkey.
Recent years have seen growing unrest in the nation that straddles Eastern Europe and Western Asia. On Friday night, the friction between dissidents and the government reached a new level. One of the epicenters of that was Taksim Square.
Late that night, social media started buzzing with reports that an attempted coup d'état was underway in Turkey. Cafés closed and Friday night festivities came to a halt. Citizens withdrew cash from ATMs, procured supplies, many stocking up on water, then fled city centers to make their way home. People carried out these and other tasks in a quick and mechanical way, without argument.
On Friday night, young soldiers lined the famous Istiklal Street on one side of the square. On the opposite side of the square, police vehicles and police calmly stood by. It was a curious sight: The police clearly outnumbered the soldiers, yet did not approach them for hours.
The government encouraged citizens via Twitter to flood into the public spaces to protest the attempted coup. This would later prove to be an effective tactic.
The protestors swarmed military personnel and pushed them into the center of the square where the Republic Monument is located. The soldiers were surrounded by the angry mob, but would occasionally fire live rounds into the air to dissuade the crowd from overwhelming them.
The police cautiously stood by while civilians doled out their brand of justice. This type of mob justice is encouraged in Turkey; thus, hordes of men feel entitled to mete out punishment.
The soldiers had also taken control and closed major bridges and airports in Istanbul without major incident, but, much like in Taksim Square, were unable to contain the mobs and police that swarmed them. There are reports that the mob beheaded or possibly lynched a soldier on the Bosphorous … More
In an apparent effort to prove that the Ku Klux Klan is still capable of spreading hate somewhere other than the internet, a couple of ignorant Southside boys in a pickup truck papered Riverside with racist fliers yesterday morning. This was the latest local effort to recruit perpetual-adolescent bigots with low IQs and big dreams of reliving the pre-Civil War "glory days" when their ancestors were poor yeoman farmers one drought from starvation.
Similar messages were distributed in various neighborhoods around Jacksonville last March and November. In November, News4Jax reported meeting with a man identifying himself as Grand Dragon Ken with the KKK; in a conversation in his (probably) dumpy Southside, Jacksonville home, Ken (who declined to give his last name or confirm whether Barbie was the mastermind of his Grand Plan) ranted nonsensically about various complex policy issues he clearly didn't understand and said the fliers were the beginning of a major statewide recruitment effort.
Whites in Riverside were miffed. One wondered aloud if the alleged Klansmen knew that only liberals live in Riverside. Reminded that Donald Trump's local HQ is in the neighborhood, she shrugged, "Well, I guess there's one place they could recruit members."
"I didn't even realize the Klan still existed," said hipster "Bob" between sips of Aardwolf Belgian Pale Ale at a Five Points bar. "And now that I do, I'm kind of embarrassed for them. I mean, get a clue. Overt racism is so 20th century. Now it's all about systemic racism."
At Folio Weekly Magazine's suggestion, Bob, who gave a fake name in case his girlfriend finds out he was at the bar when he was supposed to be volunteering at a homeless shelter, dialed the central North Carolina phone number listed on the flier. While listening to the outgoing voice message, he had what can only be described as an "attack of the … More
On July 15, residents of the Riverside woke to find racist fliers inside bags of white rice outside their homes and on the streets. Again.
The fliers, of which Folio Weekly Magazine has obtained four pictures, are credited to the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, otherwise known as KKK Knights. As of press time, FWM has received approximately a half dozen reports from individuals claiming they or their friends found the fliers. All say they found the fliers in Riverside.
The flier to the right was found in Riverside this morning. (Image altered to block out offensive language and the group's phone number.)
Two sources said that unknown individual(s) in a burgundy pickup truck with its windows blocked by towels to obscure view of the occupants distributed the fliers early in the morning.
Similar messages were distributed in various neighborhoods last March and November. In November, News4Jax reported meeting with a man identifying himself as a Grand Dragon Ken with the KKK; in a conversation in his Southside, Jacksonville home, Ken (who declined to give his last name) said the fliers were the beginning of a major statewide recruitment effort.
Other sources said they have received similar fliers with anti-LGBTQ messages in the past.
The north-central North Carolina phone number and website included on the flier matches that of the KKK Knights' phone number on the group's website. A voicemail FWM left at the number was not returned.
The voicemail greeting says the group is "the largest and most active white clan in the United States." The greeting goes on to say, "Hey whites, for far too long these liberals have lied to you about what the Bible really says when they tell you that you're supposed to love your neighbor," and quotes two verses of Leviticus, 19:8 and 21:7, which it implies justifies separation of the races.
The KKK Knights' website adamantly denies that is a hate group. Rather, it … More
News4Jax contributed to the reporting on this story.
Weeks ago Medical Examiner Valerie Rao categorically denied awareness that her predecessor, Margarita Arruza, was diagnosed with early onset dementia while still in office. But a deposition obtained by Folio Weekly Magazine may prove that Rao not only knew - she knew years before Arruza retired at the end of 2010.
According to numerous sources, Arruza was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, a type of dementia, in the latter half of 2010, but it wasn't widely known until the publication of FWM cover story, "Truth, Justice or the Angela Corey Way," on June 22, which reported on Corey's alleged failure to inform defense in homicide cases in which Arruza autopsied the alleged victims. By law, prosecutors are required to inform defense of any exculpatory evidence, such as the incapacity of a potential witness.
Last month, we reported that Rao became extremely agitated when we questioned her about the reasons for Arruza's retirement.
Asked if she knew Arruza was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Dr. Rao said, "I am totally unaware of that." Asked if she had noticed anything out of the ordinary with Arruza's behavior in the months before her retirement, which was effective on December 31, 2010, Dr. Rao said she had noticed "no atypical behavior."
FWM has obtained a 2013 deposition from a homicide case that may contradict Rao's statements.
The following is an exchange between Rao and an assistant public defender during the deposition in the case of Florida v. John Collins Jr.:
Public Defender: How long was Dr. Aruso [sic] sick before she left?
Dr. Rao: I would say about – she started to decline in about early 2009 or maybe even late 2008.
Public Defender: And why would you say that?
Dr. Rao: Because there were some observations that the employees made along the way.

Earlier today U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown pleaded not guilty to 24 federal counts of conspiracy and fraud. Brown's chief of staff, Elias Simmons, was also named in the indictment.
The conspiracy charge alleges Brown and Simmons donated and solicited donations to a fraudulent, Virginia-based charity called One Door for Education. According to the indictment, Brown, Simmons and the charity's president Carla Wiley used a vast majority of the donated funds for personal expenses. The charity, which never received status as a non-profit organization, despite claims made by Brown, is alleged to have donated only $1,200 to those in educational need, despite raising over $800,000.
Additional charges included theft of government funds, concealing facts on financial disclosure forms, scheming to conceal facts, obstruction of due administration of internal revenue laws, three counts of filing false tax returns and 16 counts of wire and mail fraud.
If convicted on all charges, Brown faces up to 357 years in prison and fines of up to $4.8 million. Simmons could be sentenced to 355 years and fined up to $4.75 million.
The indictment claims Brown used money from the charity to fund a golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass, a luxury box seat for a Beyonce concert in D.C. and a luxury box for a football game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Redskins. Additionally, prosecutors in the case allege Brown, Simmons and Wiley used funds to finance personal plane tickets, auto repairs and Caribbean vacations. Wiley pled guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in March.
Brown avoided questions about her role in the alleged conspiracy during a statement to the press after charges against her were announced. Brown spoke for about two minutes and focused on her efforts to secure funding for the Jacksonville Federal Courthouse, the lack of minority participation within the courthouse and the failure of federal authorities to investigate Omar Mateen before the … More
Being a Northeast Floridian is a special kind of being. Whether you're a riverrat, a seadog or a landlubber, you know that Downtown is not now, nor ever was, on fire in the figurative sense (in the literal sense, however, fo sho).
True Northeast Floridians will eat a full meal outside on a 90 degree day, bring sweaters to work everyday in the summer because 72 feels freezing, and know that a House Divided is much more than a bible verse and Abraham Lincoln speech. Orange and blue can be friends with red and black or maroon and gold, really, they can! If you're local or just local-ized, you know just what we mean.
For all you newbies and wanna-be natives, we've compiled this handy dandy list of all the ways and means that you might be a Northeast Floridian, if...

The Florida Department of Health this morning confirms that the first case of Zika-related microcephaly has been diagnosed in the state.
According to the department, a woman from Haiti who contracted the virus in her home country has given birth to a baby with Zika-related microcephaly.
Though a relatively benign virus for most who contract it, Zika, which has symptoms including fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes), can be devastating on fetuses born to mothers infected with the virus during pregnancy.
In April, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that Zika can cause microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects in a fetus whose mother contracts the virus during pregnancy. The CDC notes, however, that not all women will deliver babies with birth defects.
According to the CDC, microcephaly is a disorder in which the baby's head and brain may be much smaller than expected. Microcephaly ranges from causing no obvious physical or cognitive impairments to causing extreme physical and cognitive impairments.
Individuals with severe microcephaly may never be able to function independently and, according to the CDC, may suffer from seizures, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, motor coordination problems, difficulty swallowing, and hearing and vision impairment.
The CDC recommends that medical providers of care to pregnant women with a history of travel to Zika-affected areas consider testing the women for the virus. It also urges women who are pregnant to refrain from travelling to Zika-affected areas.
Florida Governor Rick Scott released the following statement in response to the news:
It is heartbreaking to learn that a baby has been born with Zika-related microcephaly in our state and my thoughts and prayers are with the mother and child. Following this news, I have requested the CDC to immediately host a call with Florida health care professionals to discuss the neurological impacts … More
Florida's First District Court of Appeal will take briefs on the "sham candidate" case brought by four Northeast Florida plaintiffs who want to open the Republican primary race for State Attorney to non-Republican voters. Plaintiffs contend that State Attorney Angela Corey colluded with divorce attorney Kenny Leigh to file as a write-in candidate in order to close the primary. Plaintiffs further allege that closing the primary gives Corey a political advantage while excluding the majority of voters in the Fourth Judicial Circuit, which they say violates federal law.
Retired Clay County Judge Richard Townsend, who Chief Judge Mark Mahon appointed to hear the case, dismissed the voter-plaintiffs' lawsuit on June 17. Townsend wrote that the question of a candidate's intent in joining a race was not a new issue under Florida law, and that the case has already been settled by precedent. Leigh is the fourth person to enter the race, joining former prosecutors Wes White and Melissa Nelson, and incumbent State Attorney Angela Corey.
But plaintiffs' attorneys say that Leigh's candidacy presents a new question for the court. In a message to Folio Weekly Magazine, attorney Betsy White, partner in one of the law firms that filed the suit, explains why the Scott case is different from the precedent Judge Townsend relied on.
"In Brinkman, there was no allegation that the write-in candidate was a total sham, and there was no federal cause of action alleged," she wrote.
In a later message, White added, "In my opinion, Mr. Leigh has made it clear that his candidacy is a sham to support Ms. Corey's campaign, to which he has made financial contributions."
In addition to alleging that Leigh's candidacy is a "sham" and not real opposition under Florida's Universal Primary Amendment (UPA), the plaintiffs — all non-Republicans — allege they are being denied … More

Project Description
We are looking for a developer who can write an iOS application that will meet the needs of our clients.
Our client base includes large chains of local restaurants that require the functionality of a modern point of sale application, from handling online bookings to sales and table management. Our current competitors have released their app recently which encapsulates most of what we are looking for, information on their product can be made available here: [url removed, login to view]
Again, here is a video of our competitors product displaying the book table feature:

Other websites that sell iOS Restaurant POS software are:
[url removed, login to view]

[url removed, login to view]
The online booking should be linked in a way that we are able to install a small widget to their site for the table booking and this will feed into the store database from which they can place the guests (in their appropriate time slot) and manage tables through this.
We are aware that many restaurant POS apps exist and that some open source projects are available - we are fine with this use, so long as the end product meets all specifications. The GUI must be fresh and modern looking and the POS side of the app must be able to display images of the products (for example a cheeseburger) instead of just plain-text.
Please no time wasters, I'm looking for an exact price for a completed project - not a vague proposal.

One of my pre season chores is sorting out my flox boxes. You know - discarding flies that have outlived their usefulness, adding to stock from all the winter tying, and generally tidying up. I take all my boxes and my stock flies, grab an empty box, and fill it.
Still, no matter how many flies I have, there will be one day on the river where I won't have anything in my box that feels right. That's just the way it is.

The SoftwareSportbook Casino uses one of the most popular casino software available, which is RTG or Real Time Gaming. It provides great graphics and efficient features to make navigating and playing simple and fun. The casino program download quickly and is very easy to install and really simple to use. Sportbook Online Casino also offers a flash version of their gaming software for people to try out and it does not need to be downloaded.
The casino software allows the player to change either the table or dealer, or both, if the player feels a run of bad luck in the present situation. This feature is amazing and very convenient for players.
Games GaloreThey have a sign up bonus that gives a 100% deposit match of whatever amount you initially deposit. When you refer a friend to Sportbook Casino, you also get 21% of their initial deposit. They do not have a loyalty club available at the moment, however. Their bonuses are also quite lower and (not as varied) as the bonuses some online casinos offer.
Aside from the fact that Sportbook allows you to bet on several sports tournaments and games, Sportbook Casino also offers players exciting table games, the usual card games, slots, video poker, and several progressive jackpots that can go pretty high.
Sportbook offers so many games to place a wager on and it is really quite thrilling to wait for that moment when you'll know for certain if you won or not. There is a bit of a delay regarding compensation after a win, though, and I do not understand why there is such a delay when all they have to do is credit the winner's credit/debit card account after he or she has made a withdrawal.
Funds Transfers and Customer SupportOne drawback to Sportbook Online Casino and Sportbook is that it only deals with Visa and Mastercard credit cards for deposits and withdrawals. I find this very limited since not all people might like to transact using their credit cards; some people might not even have credit cards. This may also be the reason for their delayed pay outs.
Players and members may contact the Sportbook Online Casino and Sportbook via email, telephone and Live Chat. They have toll-free phone numbers and full 24 hours support teams that are a bit disappointing because it seems they are not well trained enough to answer questions, they keep on putting you on hold so they could ask someone else to help them.

Doctor doesn't support insanity plea in killing of Wauwatosa officer
Judge weighing whether to throw out Benjamin Sebena's statements to police
A court-appointed psychiatrist who examined Iraq war veteran Benjamin Sebena concluded he knew right from wrong when he allegedly killed his wife as she worked as a Wauwatosa police officer on Christmas Eve.
The finding, announced at a hearing Friday, does not support Sebena's plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. A second doctor's report on the subject is expected in two weeks.
Sebena, 30, is charged with ambushing Jennifer Sebena while she conducted a pre-dawn patrol alone in Wauwatosa on Dec. 24. The charges are based largely on Sebena's confession to detectives two days later.
But his attorney, Michael Steinle, argues Wauwatosa police improperly questioned Sebena without reading him his rights to remain silent and to an attorney, and Steinle says statements made during those talks led to other evidence — including the confession — that should be suppressed as "fruits of the poisonous tree."
A Wauwatosa police detective testified extensively Friday about the first several hours Sebena spent at police headquarters. The issue is whether he was in custody — and should have been read his Miranda rights — or whether police were merely trying to comfort him and he was free to leave at any time.
The detective, David Hoppe, said he never told Sebena he could leave but said Sebena never asked to. Hoppe admitted that when Sebena said he should go home to attend to his dog, police persuaded him not to, and that the police kept Sebena's cellphone and accompanied him on smoking breaks and to the restroom.
Hoppe testified he was "neutral" about Sebena's possible complicity in his wife's death and considered him more of a victim while talking with him from about 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
Shortly after 1 p.m., Hoppe said, another detective arrived and placed Sebena under arrest after investigators found ammunition at his house that matched shell casings found at the crime scene.
A state agent testified he arrived to question Sebena about 3 p.m. and read him his Miranda rights first. Two rounds of interrogation produced no incriminating statements, said the Department of Justice agent, Gilbert Hernandez, who was a longtime homicide detective with the Milwaukee Police Department.
On Dec. 26, Milwaukee police Lt. Christopher Blaszak interviewed Sebena after again informing of his right to remain silent and have a lawyer present.
Blaszak testified Friday that he told Sebena that police were convinced he killed his wife, and Sebena denied it for about 20 minutes.
But when Blaszak showed Sebena a photo of his car seven minutes from the crime scene, Sebena said it was "confession time" and then offered details of how he killed his wife and where detectives could find more evidence, Blaszak said.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge David Borowski said at the end of the hearing Friday that he expects to rule on the motion to suppress the confession in two weeks. Sebena's trial is set to start July 8.
Sebena was once again wheeled into court Friday wearing only a padded suicide-prevention gown. Steinle had to ask special permission for Sebena to be allowed to use a felt-tip pen and paper to make notes during the hearing.
Deputies allowed Sebena the pen but not the cap.

Gas tax group joins effort to block public Olympic funds
BOSTON -- Today on the stairs outside of the State House Evan Falchuk, Chairman of Citizens for a Say and United Independent Party, announced a major partnership with Yes on 1 organization that successfully repealed automatic gas tax hikes. This new coalition will work to pass a ballot question to stop tax dollars from being spent on the Olympics.
"I am pleased that the Yes on 1 organization will be partnering with us to get the signatures and pass this critical initiative to protect our tax dollars," said Falchuk. "We all agree that tax dollars should not be used for the Olympics."
Rep. Geoff Diehl, Steve Aylward, Marty Lamb and many others will lead the TankTaxesforOlympics.com arm of the Falchuk coalition.
"We respect the hard working taxpayers of Massachusetts. That's why we passed the repeal of automatic gas tax hikes last year. Protecting taxpayers doesn't just mean stopping automatic tax hikes. It also requires prohibiting the expenditure of tax money on non-essentials," said Rep. Diehl who was Co-Chairman of Yes on 1.
"We have a strong grassroots organization that can help deliver the signatures and momentum to take Boston 2024 who we all know are addicted to our tax dollars," said Aylward who was Co-Chairman ofYes on 1.
"Two years ago we took on the powerful Beacon Hill structure to stop taxation without representation. Now we are once again standing up for the taxpayers. Our ballot initiative will ensure that Boston 2024 will keep their word that will not use tax funds. As Ronald Reagan said trust but verify. This ballot question is our way to verify," said Lamb who was the Chairman of Tank Automatic Gas Tax Hikes PAC and a leader on the original signature drive.
Yes on 1 supporters who will be part of this new coalition include Rep. Geoff Diehl, Steve Aylward, Marty Lamb, Rep. Shaunna O'Connell, Rep. Jim Lyons, Desiree Awiszio (Campaign Manager for Yes on 1), Rep. David DeCoste, Agatha Bodwell, Jeff Bailey, Lou Valanzola, Suzie Scholl, Tom Keyes, Stephen Coulter, Selectwoman Caroline Colarusso, Tony Conte, Marylou Daxland of MARA, Bob Whynott, Melissa Juarez, Chris Pinto, Republican National Committee woman Chanel Prunier, Les Gosule who passed Melissa's law in 2012, State Representative Leah Cole, Rick Gleason of the Massachusetts Motorcycle Association, and John O'Mara of the Northborough Tea Party,
"Our chances of success have greatly increased with this new partnership," said Falchuk. "We are a unique coalition that is adamant that no taxpayer money be used for the Olympics, and which knows that relying on promises and good intentions isn't enough."
