*Editor's Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Monday, February 27th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Tuesday, February 28th.
Denver Nuggets
Some pundits believe Nikola Jokic is under pressure to win the title especially if he wins his third consecutive MVP but they might be overlooking a key fact.
Sure, Jokic may not have had the same success in the playoffs but he's also been without Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. If you don't think having that talent matters – go watch the overtime frame of the Nuggets' win versus the Clippers.
Jokic got his 23rd triple-double of the season and the Nuggets are 23-0 in those matches.
Presently, Denver possesses the best offense in the league highlighted by scoring 117.0 points per game ranking seventh. Denver is shooting the best field goal percentage of 50.9% as well as the top-ranked perimeter efficiency of 39.1%.
To be sure, defensively the Nuggets are improving. So far, they allow opponents to score 112.8 points per game which ranks 13th while limiting foes to 48.0% from the field and 34.7% from deep ranking 24th and fifth respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jamal Murray PG (questionable—back)
- Aaron Gordon, SF (probable —rib)
- Zeke Nnaji PF (questionable-—shoulder)
- Collin Gillespie PG (OUT— leg fracture)
Houston Rockets
Players are lighting up the hardwood this season but no team has coughed up more 40 points efforts and ballooned final scores than the Rockets.
On Sunday, that equated to Damian Lillard scoring 71 including 13 triples.
Offensively, the Rockets score 109.7 points per game ranking 29th overall. Houston shoots 44.9% from the field which ranks 30th while they shoot 32.5% from the perimeter ranking 30th overall.
Meanwhile, defensively, the Rockets allow opponents to score 118.3 points per game which ranks 27th overall, while Houston's foes shoot 47.8% and 37.3% from the perimeter ranking 22nd and 28th respectively.

- In summary, the Rockets are 2-15 SU in their last 17 games at home.
Free Denver Nuggets vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
At the end of the Nuggets – Clippers match Murray was shown on the bench in noticeable pain. Turns out he was experiencing some lower back pain.
Having just returned from missing six consecutive games it was a bit surprising he played in both games of the back-to-back logging over 41 minutes Sunday. That makes this contest against the lowly Rockets a perfect game to rest him albeit Houston may have their starting backcourt back active.
Typically I avoid the large point spreads and there is some hesitation given Denver performs better at Ball Arena but Houston has consistently allowed teams to beat them by double-digits so I'll roll the dice and take the Nuggets to cover.

The organization
The Clayton County Library System (CCLS) is a large firm that is dedicated to offering excellent services to its clients. It has six branches that have about 400,000 resource materials, which are in the forms of books, magazines and journal materials. In addition, the organization has about seven thousand five hundred audio tapes and over five thousand videos. The system of libraries offers cards to residents of the state at no charge (Clayton County Library System, 2014). This is aimed at encouraging citizens to use access library services. Three services are not charged by the system. First, Georgia's virtual library is accessed for free by users. In fact, this is the largest library in the state of Georgia, which provides services to library users. It has a wide range of databases, which provide thousands of resources. Second, clients are not required to pay for electronic subscriptions in order to access online services such as online test preparation, research tools, and educational help with regard to tutoring. Third, the general public can use over 120 public computers that are connected to the internet. Finally, CCLS provides facilities for large meetings that are conducted by nonprofit organizations within its premises (Clayton County Library System, 2014).
How the current finance and budgeting practices would be impacted positively
Budgeting approaches involve stepwise strategies of allocating resources with a view to achieving strategic goals of an organization. The resources could be financial, physical and/or human resources that must be managed in an ethical approach (American Society for Public Administration, 2012; Eskridge, French & McThomas, 2012). Financial practices are important in ensuring that a firm maintains stable and strong performance. The last decade has been characterized by a rapid increase in the number of technological solutions in the areas of finance and budgeting (Browning, Chiappori & Lewbel, 2013). Several finance and budgeting practices in the organization could be impacted positively by the use of technological solutions. With regard to customer service, technology could be used to support a high level of efficiency. For example, the management should adopt IT solutions to support payments that are made by clients for various services. Such a technology would allow customers to make prompt payments and be issued with online receipts. Queries about finances from customers can also be impacted positively by the use of technology. For example, a customer might need to know why certain payments are not reflected in his or her service account yet he or she paid for the service. A technology application in the organization would help such a client to launch his or her claim, which would be identified by a unique identifier, for example, a number. After personnel resolve the issue, the client would be sent a short message to clarify the issue (Kavanagh et al., 2006).
Budgeting is also a very important process that could be impacted by IT applications. Effective budgeting ensures that resources are shared proportionally by different users based on their requirements (Altig, Christiano, Eichenbaum & Linde, 2011). The use of computer programs can be applied in allocating resources in an effective way to different areas. In fact, the resource allocation practice has not been very effective in the past because it was mainly done using manual procedures.
Evaluation of financial procedures and systems is another important practice in the firm (Rossmann & Shanahan, 2012). This could be influenced by the adoption of technology applications. For example, the practice could be impacted by using an IT solution that would compare the resources allocated to various projects to the outcomes (Laureate Education, 2008). It can also be applied to determine the inefficiencies in the use of financial resources (Altig et al., 2011). In fact, failure to use technology solutions has chances of introducing ethical issues in firms (New York State Office of the Attorney General, 2010). Thus, it is mandatory for organizations to adopt strategies that are aimed at promoting financial transparency among employees and the management (U.S. Office of Government Ethics, 2011).
The current technology
From a general point of view, it can be asserted that CCLS is not using technologies that would support high level financial and budgeting approaches. However, it is commendable that the organization has adopted automated IT systems in its operations. The current technology in the firm supports centralized payment for services by library users. In other words, clients can only pay for services at the premises of CCLS. The application does not act a stable platform on which budgeting could be conducted. Thus, it can be concluded that efficient allocation of resources to various departments is not achieved. In addition, the technology has not been able to shift to a pure paperless system, which would imply that users would not be issued with physical receipts for payments.
Two additional technology solutions
It would be recommended that the organization use additional technology solutions with regard to improving its financial and budgeting efficiencies (Laureate Education, 2008). First, because the organization operates on a platform of online applications, it should adopt an online payment solution that would support payments for various services that are payable by clients. The solution would require library users to register online and be offered unique numbers that would be essential in subsequent times of logging into the system. When a user would want to pay for a service, he or she would be required to log into the IT solution, using a username and password. While in the system, he or she would select the service to pay for and enter the amount, which would be deducted from his or her online accounts. After a payment goes through, a client would request for a payment receipt would be presented in the form of a PDF for saving and/or printing. The application would be convenient for library users and it would make them access payment services in a relatively short time (Perez, 2011; Shide & Xuan, 2011).
Second, an auditing technology solution should be adopted by the organization, which would be important in supporting the efficient use of financial resources that are included in annual budgets. Such an IT system would be important in identifying financial malpractices and help the management of CCLS to adopt better approaches with regard finance, budgeting and management of resources. For example, it would be applied to determine whether the funds allocated to certain areas within the system of libraries were used as intended. This might require checking the online entries with regard to payments, which would show the details about various transactions. If it would be identified that funds given to a certain department are not adequate, then the management would use the IT application to allocate the right amount of funds that be enough for the department (Perez, 2011). In fact, it would support the applications in budgeting because it would be based on the principle of financial simulation. However, it is important to note the proposed technology solution would be adopted in a transparent manner to avoid ethical issues arising in the organization.

You'll no doubt find that prairie dogs generate a lot of debris that will inevitably escape the cage and end-up in the surrounding area. This includes hay, chewed-up cardboard, bedding, feces, etc.. Even if it doesn't push it's way out, the dogs will tend to dig and kick it out and the shallow pans that come in larger cages (like Ferret Nation) will do little to block it. Plus, the dogs will tend to chew-through the [plastic] pans. So, what doesn't go through the sides will fall through the bottom.
Even cutting and attaching wire-mesh to the sides tends to not be able to withstand constant assault by the dogs, and will largely get torn away, leaving ragged wire edges.
A really good way to curb the amount of junk that you have to clean-up is by replacing the factory pans in your Ferret Nation cage will the stainless steal ones manufactured by Bass. Not only are the stainless steel ones strong and rust-proof (unlike the galvanized ones that they sell), but they also have a two-inch lip. The prairie dogs can't chew through the material, the debris will have to substantially build-up to fall over the side, it'll prevent much of the kicking-related mess, and it's also heavy enough that it will discourage the more rambunctious dogs from banging against it with their noses (causing it to slam down against the cage).
There are two different types: one complete, rectangular pan and a variation with a hole cut-out in the back-right for the entrance from a lower cage. They're about $45 each. I only wish that they would produce a replacement for the smaller pans that are located mid-level in the cage.

In this clip from Motley Fool Live, recorded on Dec. 9, Motley Fool contributors Matt Frankel and Jason Hall discuss one company that rocketed from a student loan lender to a full-service financial services company.
10 stocks we like better than SoFi Technologies, Inc.
When our award-winning analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has tripled the market.*
They just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for investors to buy right now... and SoFi Technologies, Inc. wasn't one of them! That's right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.
*Stock Advisor returns as of December 16, 2021
Matt Frankel: This is SoFi (SOFI -2.95%). SoFi is a financial technology company. They went public earlier in 2021. This was one of Chamath SPACs. This was IPOE. I have to keep my letters correct. They are a big financial services company. They started out as a private student lender and since expanded to personal loans to now they're adding all kinds of other financial products. In addition to loans, there's SoFi Money account [which] is designed to be a checking account alternative. There's SoFi Invest [which] is supposed to be a brokerage account alternative. It's a Robinhood (HOOD 0.70%) but emphasizing investing, not trading. Here, you can trade from your phone [and] things like that. But they are saying this is an investment app. We're not encouraging you to trade and speculate things like that.
Growth has been absolutely phenomenal. If you could see right here, from the beginning of 2019, they had 700,000 members give or take. Now they're just shy of 3 million [in] less than three years. We'll get the year-over-year growth rates on the bottom. They're almost doubling in size year-over-year. Big, big growth story. Here's one of the keys there is. If you look at the chart on the left, that's the growth of their lending product. That's the slow and steady part of the business. That's their student lending, their personal lending, things like that. If you look at the chart on the right, this is the growth of their other financial services products like the money app, the investment app, their credit card they just launched. The business model essentially can bring customers into their ecosystem and then get them to take more and more financial products that SoFi offers. It's a land and expand model and, right now, if you do the math, they have almost 3 million members and just 3.2 million products. Their average member is only in their ecosystem with a little over one product. Maybe some people have a loan and a credit card. But for the most part, customers have one of their products. That gives them a lot of opportunity to expand. SoFi has rebounded a little bit but you'll see it's been a roller-coaster ride since they went public. They're still 37% off their high. If you look at how they plunged recently, yeah, they rebounded a little bit, but this is still a stock that's a lot cheaper than it was just in November. I like this company. I'm an investor in it. I bought it before and after its SPAC IPO. I know Jason's a shareholder in this. I'm curious if, Jason, are you a customer or just an investor?
Jason Hall: I'm not. I'm just an investor but initially I was pretty reticent, if you remember, this is one that partially because I'm not a big fan of a lot of the SPACS that have come out of that shop. But the thing that convinced me with this one is how effectively they've not just added more users, more customers, but those customers are using more of the different services they offer. I mean, this is a full-service financial services company now. It's very impressive to me.

What could be draining your Android's battery so quickly, and how to stop it
The processing speeds of smartphones keep increasing, and with each new update comes a slew of useful new features. However, this technology also has the potential to drain your battery, which can be extremely annoying. Don't freak out if your Android'sTM battery life seems shorter than usual.
The processing speeds of smartphones keep increasing, and with each new update comes a slew of useful new features. However, this technology also has the potential to drain your battery, which can be extremely annoying.
Don't freak out if your Android'sTM battery life seems shorter than usual. Every day, our experts at Asurion help millions of customers find straightforward answers to problems like this one with their mobile phones. This is their breakdown of why and how Android devices drain power so quickly.
It's puzzling that my Android's battery seems to drain so quickly.
The rapid depletion of the battery life of your Samsung Galaxy® or Google Pixel® could be due to a number of factors. Some of the most typical examples are as follows:
- The constant flow of alerts and notifications is killing the battery.
- Location services are being overloaded by the sheer number of apps that require them.
- Too many programs are operating in the background at once.
- Overexposure to the screen
- The monitor is left on for too long before powering down.
- There is no service on the phone
- Old software runs the phone.
- Extreme temperature shifts have an effect on your phone and battery.
- The battery of the phone has reached its end of life.
Learn the tricks to extend the life of your phone's battery.
How come my phone battery dies so quickly?" you are the intended audience for this manual Here are some tips for prolonging your Android's battery life while it's charging and while you're using it throughout the day. Solutions were evaluated on an Android 12 Samsung device. Although the procedures should be similar, they could be different for other Android devices.
Notifications keep you abreast of everything from breaking news to food delivery updates. However, if you have a lot of notifications turned on, your Android device's battery life may suffer. Disabling an app's push notifications entails:
- Navigate to your device's menu and select Notifications (or Apps & notifications). You'll see a list of available apps.
- To see every app that has been downloaded to your phone, select More (or See all).
- You can choose which app you want to restrict notifications from.
- To disable an app, click its name and the corresponding switch. You can also adjust the notification settings for most apps separately (for instance, you can enable Instagram® notifications for new comments but disable them for new followers) by clicking on the app's icon.
Second, modify your preferences for location services.
It is possible to navigate with the aid of your phone's location services and applications like WazeTM and Google MapsTM. However, location services can be a battery killer if you leave these apps running in the background even when you're not on the go. Modifying this:
- Navigate to the Location tab under the Settings menu.
- Turn off the switch at the top of the screen to disable location services. To see which apps are using location services and disable them individually, go to the App permissions menu. To change this on a Pixel, go to Settings > Location > Permission manager > Advanced on your Pixel's menu.
Lessening the amount of ambient noise
Even after you quit social media apps like Facebook® and Instagram, they may continue to check for updates, refresh content, and push notifications, which can use up battery life. Here's how to maximize your phone's battery life by minimizing unnecessary processes in the background:
- To adjust your settings, click here.
- Battery Care & Maintenance (or just Battery)
- Simply click the Optimise Now link. Some Android devices will display a warning message next to the battery-hogging apps in a list. Select Restrict after tapping on each message.
You should probably turn up the brightness of your screen.
Next, you can prevent your battery from quickly dying by reducing the brightness of your screen. Also, it protects your screen from the potentially irreparable condition known as burn-in. How to Make Your Display Brighter
- To adjust your settings, click here.
- Select the brightness level by selecting Display or Display.
- Tweak the screen's brightness to your preference.
You can also enable Adaptive brightness, which will adjust your screen's brightness based on the amount of light entering your room, or Dark mode, which will use a dark background to save pixels and battery life.
Modify your computer's timeout settings.
The screen timeout setting determines after what amount of inactivity your screen enters sleep mode and is another customizable option. In order to conserve battery life, you should minimize the time between sleep cycles on your phone. Change the timeout settings by:
- Navigate to the Preferences Menu
- Select Screen timeout (or Screen timeout, if using Windows) by going to Display > Screen timeout.
- Time ranges will be displayed. Between 30 seconds and 1 minute is what we suggest setting your timer to.
6. Make sure your OS is up-to-date.
Battery life can also be negatively affected by using an out-of-date operating system on your mobile device. Updating your OS on a regular basis not only improves performance, but also adds an extra layer of security. Checking if you have the most recent version entails:
- Software updates can be checked by going to Settings > Software update > Check for updates (or, on some Android devices, Settings > System > Advanced > System update > Check for update).
- Tap OK
- Assuming you have the most recent updates for your OS, the message "Current software is up to date" will appear. If an update is available, do as instructed.
7. Keep your phone away from fire and ice
Don't leave your phone in a car or other vehicle, or leave it in a very hot or cold room whether you're out and about or at home. Being exposed to high temperatures can be dangerous because it not only depletes your phone's battery life but also causes it to overheat and explode. Keep your phone between 68 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're looking for more ways to prevent your phone from heating up, check out our guide.
8. Ensure your cell phone is working.
Even though it may seem obvious, make sure your phone has service. Your Android's battery life can be drastically reduced if it is constantly searching for a signal. If you're having trouble understanding why you don't have service, try the steps outlined here.
Save battery power by pressing the number nine.
Turning on Battery Saver mode is the quickest solution if your phone's battery is almost dead. This will slow your phone down, but it will keep you going until you can charge it again. When you activate the Power Saver setting, you will see the following:
- Select "Settings" then "Battery and device care" then "Battery" (or "Settings" then "Battery" then "Battery Save
- To activate power saving mode, select the option.
10 Look to see if your battery has reached the end of its useful life.
If your Android phone's battery is dying and you've tried everything else, it may be time to replace it.

,e CtyaUrtte bBtrotr. O tt AS, tU JONES, Editor fc , ilatuum at raa Post-Oiticm at Charlotw, N 0., AS SBOOgP-CLABB MATTKB.1 FRIDAY. JAN. 13, 1882. A SiiltillT niSAPPMEllEnSlON, The Raleigh News and Obseryer, and the Greensboro Tatriot, noting the ru mor published in this paper of the fail ure of Mr. Best and the Boston Syndi cate to meet their first payment, accord ing to agreement, on the lease of the Atlantic and Nortn Carolina Railroad misapprehend the position of The Ob server, if they suppos we are "mak ing merry' over the failure of such a "great enterprise." The fact is The Observer wishes all such enterprises well, but doubts the ability of Mr. Best to carry any such attempt to a success ful issue. We have no confidence in his professions nor in his ability to do what he nretends he can do. If that road is ever built from Goldsboro to Salisbury it will be by some one else, and not by Mr. Best, who thus far ha3 been distin guished only by the abundance of his promises, and by his utter failure to carrv them out. His proposition to build the Midland road was based on the contingency of getting possession of the Western North Carolina Rail road and be stands about as much chance of doing that as he does of going to glory in the flesh. As a warm advocate of internal im provements in the State, and in favor of any and every work which tends to her development, we would rejoice to know that Mr. Best had the capacity to stfrry out the schemes he projects, and realize one-half the hopes he has inspired in those whose confidence he gained, by assurances which he has not made good. If North Carolina depends upon Mr. Best for a road that will con nect her moiintais with the sea, she will, we fear, wait a long a very long time. We assure our worthy cotemporaries that we would much rather chronicle the completion of such a work than its failure, and will be glad to learn that we have been mistaken as to the ability and intentions even of Mr. Best. or twenty years of active hie we have been battling for North Carolina and North Carolina s interest, and we point with pride to the record of our lire-work, lnere may be snort com ings but they are errors of the head and not of the heart. Because we do not see success in an adventurer like Mr. Best: because we have had the manliness to say just what we thought, and what the people will all find out after a while, there are 'those who would decry us. The building of a grand trunk line through the State, to connect the Wes tern portion of the State with a sea port of our own is an idea worthy of the ambition of any man, but to-day it is theory merely. With the North Car olina Railroad and the Western North Carolina Koad in working order as they now are, the business man who would put his money into another road between Gold3boro and Salisbury, would be little better than an idiot. It might be patriotic.but railroads are not built these days out of patriotic senti ment. The North Carolina Railroad cost four millions and the Western North Carolina Railroad has already cost six millions 01 dollars; six per cent on this sum would be six hundred thousand dollars, to say nothing of running expenses. Does any sane man suppose for an instant that a line projected and built as a competing line to these roads would ever pay a dollar of dividends ? On the contrary it could not pay the cost of operating it, to say nothing of interest on its cost. No legislature would ever dare to vote dollar towards its construction, nor Would any good business man ever in vest a dollar in it. If these be facts then why not brush away the thin veil of pretention put up by Mr. Best and his friends to hide them until the time comes to unload? If to do thi3 be "jaerry making" then we do not under stand the power of the Englinsh lan guage. Aye, more, "It this be treason, make the most of it." iney have a way of letting a man aown easy in Chicago. When a promi nent citizen got drunk at a wedding, and, being called on for a speech, rallied the father of the bride because he didn't have his other family residing on the east side present at the wedding, and so kicked up a perfect hades of a time, the papers said merely that "the re marks of Mr. Jowls were somewhat in appropriate." A strong pressure is being brought to bear upon the President by promi nent Republicans and tjournals of the South, especially New Orleans, to have the present Secretary of the Navy, Hunt, retained, the claim being made that he is a representative of Southern Republicans m the broadest sense of the word. The hanging of Guiteau cannot be an immediate matter, as most people seem to think. Under the law he can not be hanged until thirty days after the opening of the next term of the court. This will not be until the 4th of April, and therefore the date of Gui teau's execution cannot po3sibly take place until the 4ih of May. Henry C. Spaulding, who was famous once as the inventor of "Spaulding's glue," found himself in the New Alba ny, Ind., lock-up the other night for drunkenness. He says that he sold the right to manufactnre the glue to a con cern who made a round million, but he got nothing out of it. The debt of Great Britain heads the list of national debts for size, that of the United States comes second, and the debt of France ranks third. The United States is the only nation that is engaged in paying off its debt, with the serious purpose of doing it, too. About 813,377.155 has been paid out for the construction of the East River bridge at New York, and about 6600,- 000 more will be needed.

Speaking with Mr. McGehee yester day about the results of the Atlanta Exposition and the noble snow our State made there, he said it was in truth cause for pride. But said he, though the Department of Agriculture feels such pride in tnis, yet there is an other bit of its work the past autumn which has been even more prolific of good results. In response to an inquiry aa to.what this good bit of work was, Mr. McGehee said that early in the au tumn, seeing the work of the drought with the crops, the department issued a circular in which the necessity for put ting in heavy crops of small grain, par ticularly wheat, was strongly urged upon the farmers. They were told that these crops would supply necessities and that they should be sown up to the last moment. The press of the State took up the idea and repeated the ad vice. Now as a result we have one of the largest if not the largest grain crop ever sown in the State. In many coun ties the increase, as compared with last year, is two, three and four hundred fold, while some counties actually re port it a thousand fold. Wheat was put in the ground up to the last availa ble moment. This was the case iu nearly all parts of the State, and where the work of the drought bad been the worst the largest crop has been sown. The reports further indicate that the small grain crops look well, and the in dications point to an abundant harvest next year. Cotton fields were sown down in the grains, and in some coun ties very large areas of cotton lands are now green with wheat and oats in vigorous growth. In traveling twenty miles in North Carolina, at any given space between Raleigh and Charlotte, a traveler sees more wheat than m the course ot a day s journey through boutn Carolina and tieorgia.

At 12o the Sherman funding bill was proceeded with, Mr. Garland hav ing the floor. Mr. Garland argued to show that the relation of banks to the government was that of mere fiscal agents, and that Vest's amendment was a logical and legal sequence of funding. He was not wedded to the idea of the three per cent, bond, but was willing to take the assumption of saving 61,000,000 annual ly, for what it was worth. Allison inquired for information whether upon Garland's construction of its language Vest's amendment ma king the new bonds the sole basis of bank circulation, would require the banks having Z per cents, on deposit to surrender these and take three per cents.? He did not so understand it Mr. Garland: we will try to make it broad enough to cover that. Plumb renewed his amendment so as to require the use of all funds now in the treasury for the redemption of u nited states notes in excess of 8100. uou,uuo, in the redemption of 3h per cents., sucn redemption to be made in not less than three installments, and the said sum of 9100,000,000, so left in me treasury, snail not be increased or diminished except in redemption of United States notes. He also gave notice of additional amendments, and proceeded to argue that upon anv calculation of interest the government would now lose more than it could realize by an attempt at refunding Replying to Allison's inquiry. Vest explained that his amendment did not apply to bonds held by banks now ; it merely applied to banks now ia exis tence which seek to increase their cap! tal after July 1st, 1832, or to banks which seek to go into business after that date. The debate was continued by Allison, bnerman and 1'iumD.

A PACKED HOUSE TO WITNESS If, DArldg-e compliments the Jary nd Arffnes the Case But One Point Insanity and Ilero There la None. Washington, D. a. Jan. 12. The au dience which assembled in the court room this morning to listen to the ar gument to the jury in the Guiteau case was a large and intelligent one, which entering the room at an early hour waited patiently the arrival of the court, counsel and prisoner. The marshal gave the spectators due notice that no one would be permitted to leave until the hour for recess, and for the purpose of emphasizing his re marks fie ordered that the main door should be locked. At 10 0 clock, sharn. the jury entered and a few minutes later the court was called to order. Davldge then took his position in front ot the jury and opened his speech with a disclaimer ot any intention to make a tt speech but expressed his simple desire to render the jury what aid he could in their present solemn duty. The time had now come in this trial when the jury were to become factors. Whatever disorder or levity might have characterized the trial, there was but one sentiment in respect to the conduct of the jury. All commended their dig- nlned deportment and their patient and close attention to the evidence, and he could not doubt that, as they bad re ceived the commendation of all in the fiast, they would continue to deserve it n the future by their decision of the question before them. There is here, gentlemen, (he contin ued) but a simple point for discussion and consideration. The subject of it is insanity. The court will tell you that in this land of law it is not allowable for a man coldly, deliberately and treacherously to slay another, and then to say he had no malice. The court win ten you wnen it comes to charge you that to constitute the crime of murder the existence or malice is wholly unnecessary, and that, indeed, a crime committed is innnltely worse in the absence of that element than if it was present In the beginning of the trial (as you all will recollect) an inef fectual attempt was made in tbe direc tion of showing that the death of the President was attributed to tbe treat ment by the surgeons who attended him with so much fidelity and ability. Tbat attempt was short lived, however, and was very speedly abandoned, so tbat there is now but a single question for you to determine, and that is the ques tion of insanity. In the progress of the trial very many vague and general expressions have crept into the case. v e have heard of crazy men, of men off their balance, of insane men, and hence it was necessary to apply to the court for a clear and perspicuos defi nition as to what is insanity in a legal sense. Medical experts have denned insanity from the stand-point of medi cine, and it was necessary to have it defined from the stand-point of law. Even if the man be deficient in intel ligence it does not follow that he shall be permitted to commit murder with impunity. It takes one degree of intel ligence for a man to make a contract another to make a will and another to do any other act. But when you come to crime, such a crime as we have here, murder, "murder most foul and unnatural," the law re quires a very slight degree of intelli gence indeed, it was, gentlemen, in order to make the question perfectly clear, and to abridge your labors so far as to prevent you being led astray by the introduction of irrelavent matter that the prosecution asked the court to state succinctly what constitutes malice and insanity in legal intent. The court has spoken, and it has not spoken in any vague or ambiguous language. It has laid down two instructions for your guidance, which I will now read. Mr. Davidge read Judge Cox's instruc tions No. 1 and No. 2.1 In commenting on tbe first and second instructions, Mr. Davidge said, "that is, gentlemen of the jury, if any human being has any degree of intelligence which enables him to understand the act he is doing, and if he has sense enough to 'know. and does know, that that act is in vio lation of tbe law of tbe land or wrong; then, no frenzy, no passion, will afford any excuse whatever; then, no disease of his moral nature will constitute any excuse whatever; then, no belief, how ever profound, though the man through reason and reflection may reach the conclusion that the act is the sugges tion of, and commanded by Almighty God, will afford any excuse whatever for tbe perpetration of crime. His sole and exclusive excuse is disease of the mind, obliterating the sense of differ ence between right and wrong and ab solutely controlling the judgment and reason or the party. Thus you will see that the degree of reason necessary to make a man responsible is very limited indeed; thus you will see that a man may be here who has been styled a crank, or off his balance, and even par tially insane, and yet abundantly responsible ror tne crime, w hat is the acv committed here? murder. Murder by lying in wait, what is commonly caned assassination. as Mr. Davidge traced the process of reasoning by which the prisoner gradually, reached the conviction that "but one little life interposed between himself and possibly a great benefit, Guiteau became restless, and for the first time since the opening of tbe court indicated by his nervous twisting about the usual preliminaries to a series of interruptions, which in this instance quickly followed "hot after," Said Mr. Davidge, no where "in the records of heinous crime do we have such plain and pointed evidence as to the first conception of the crime. In this case the suggestion came to the wretch in thenight as he was lying in his bed." "It came to me when the Lord got ready to have it," snarled the prisoner. Davidge continued, "this thought or suggestion came to him on the 18th of May. Still thinking that he might ob tain the office he sought, and keep his naoas ciean, ne made another effort on the 28th of May to induce the Presi dent" Guiteau called out from the dock, "1 woman c nave taken a foreign mission after the first of June if it had been of fered to me." Mr. Davidge apparently not heed ing him Mon the 28th of May" Guiteau: MI am talking about the first of June."

GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) – Three strikes but is he out? For the third time, teacher Michael Logan was rejected Thursday for a seat on the Guilford County Board of Education.
The board during its meeting on Tuesday voted, 5-2, to deny Logan, the Republican nominee to fill the open seat in District 3.
The vote again was along party lines, with one Democrat, Khem Irby, absent. This followed public comments both for and against Logan, an outspoken critic of the board who was nominated by members of the Guilford County Republican Party from District 3 to fill out the term Patrick Tillman vacated in November when he was elected to the Guilford County Board of Commissioners.
What happens now is unclear. Logan, an automotive teacher at Southern Guilford High School, resumed classes with the start of a new semester on Jan. 27.
The Guilford County Republican Party can evaluate its option of choosing another nominee – which Logan and GOP Chair David Gleeson have said wouldn't happen – or seek legal remedy under a statute that gives the GOP the right to nominate for the seat but the board a vote on acceptance. State legislators can take a look at the language of those statutes, but that is not immediate.
Logan has indicated on more than one occasion that it is his intention to run for a full term when the seat is on the ballot in 2024. He said his pending resignation was with that in mind. He attended Tuesday's meeting.
"There are no changes that I know of," Logan told WGHP via email on Monday afternoon. "I will be at the board meeting again tomorrow. Unfortunately, I think partisan politics will still be in play."
Tuesday's vote mirrored the two earlier rejections that were along party lines. Members had denied Logan, 5-2, late last year and then in a 6-2 vote on Jan. 10.
Democrats Deena Hayes (board chair, District 8), Bettye Jenkins (vice chair, District 7), T. Dianne Bellamy-Small (District 1), Deborah Napper (District 5), Irby (District 6) and Alan Sherouse (at-large) have voted against Logan's nomination, and Republicans Crissy Pratt (District 2) and Linda Welborn (District 4) support him. Bellamy-Small had been absent for the first vote.
The GOP is responsible for nominating its candidate from the district – Logan was chosen from two suggestions, Gleeson has said – and school board attorney Jill Wilson has indicated that the appointment of the person to fill the seat must be approved by a majority of the existing board.
Gleeson, who in December said legal action could be possible, reaffirmed Monday that "Michael Logan is our nominee." He also said he was hopeful that recent comments by elected leaders in Guilford County would help in that process.
Not election issue
Gleeson was referring to a comment by state Rep. Jon Hardister (R-Whitsett), who told the News & Record that he hoped the two sides could work out their differences. "If they don't, the General Assembly is going to have to consider getting involved," he told the newspaper.
That presumably would include addressing the language of the statute that lawmakers passed in 2013 to make Guilford County's school board partisan, a move that pertained only to Guilford County and was not state law.
But in 2019 Hardister, state Reps. John Faircloth (R-High Point), Amos Quick (D-Greensboro) and Ashton Clemmons (D-Greensboro) filed House Bill 182 in a move to return the school board to nonpartisan.
Hardister and Clemmons have not responded to questions about whether they might resurrect this bill.
Patrick Gannon, a spokesperson for the North Carolina Board of Elections, has said that "this is not an election issue, it's an appointment issue." Charlie Collicutt of the Guilford County Board of Elections said his office only is involved to verify residence and affiliation.
Why he was rejected
Board members who opposed Logan, long an activist commentator at school board meetings, cited the fact that he was a teacher or that he had made derogatory posts about board members on social media. He has been called "divisive" by coworkers.
Welborn told the News & Record in Greensboro that she thought commenters were "nitpicking. The person I have seen is nothing but dedicated to his students."
Logan has supported candidates – Pratt and Welborn among them – who had been backed by a now-defunct support group called "Take Back Our Schools," which said on its website that it is part of a "movement taking place" nationally and shared on social media the sort of controversial claims that have turned school board meetings elsewhere into shouting matches and even death threats.
Irby, who in November was elected to a second term on the board, addressed each of the handful of questions and was very clear on how she viewed Logan's candidacy.
"I have paid attention to many of his public comments and feel that his interest is not representative of District 3, considering I worked in a school there [Pearce Elementary] prior to being elected, and the family dynamics were diverse," Irby, president of Parents Across America, wrote to WGHP.
"I also believe that board members must represent a view that sends a message to all families that we are inclusive and [that] we see them."

Is inflation good for the banks?
It depends on how fast is the inflation. When interest rate is too low, it is hard for banks to charge more on loans. However, if the interest rate is raised too fast too high to fight inflation, it pushed a lot of potential customers out of the borrowing market.

A mother of two teenagers was allegedly shot to death by the children's stepfather in a domestic violence-related murder and suicide, Aurora police said Friday.
The incident happened just before 3 p.m. Friday in the 3500 block of South Pitkin Circle, said interim police Chief Art Acevedo at an evening news conference.
The stepfather got into a verbal argument with his wife inside the home, and it continued outside on the driveway when he shot the victim and then himself, Acevedo said.
Chief Acevedo providing update about shooting investigation at South Pitkin and East Jefferson in District 3. https://t.co/nHIrUPxWVv
— Aurora Police Dept (@AuroraPD) January 7, 2023
The couple was not identified on Friday. They are survived by a 14-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl, biological children of the woman who was shot, Acevedo said.
In 2021, across Colorado, 91 people died in domestic violence incidents — more deaths than any year since at least 2016, according to a new report released Friday by the state's Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board.
"This is indicative of the challenge we have not only in Aurora but in Colorado where domestic violence continues to become a problem and people are dying as a result of domestic violence," Acevedo said. "We urge the public, especially those that are in violent relationships, hostile relationships, relationships where there is extensive verbal abuse and any physical abuse, there are measures and organizations that can help you. We urge families to come forward and we can help you, get you shelter, get you to our private sector partners that can actually help you out."
The teens, who reside at the home, were taken to police headquarters where the city's victims services staff will connect them with other adult family members as well as provide counseling and continuing help, Acevedo said.
"This is not a whodunit, this is a why. Why do we have a young girl and a young boy who now have to bury their mother because of domestic violence," Acevedo said. "I think it is an alarm for all of us out there."
