During Tuesday's final debate in the race to be Florida governor, Republican Gov. Rick Scott declared his administration "spent $350 million to deal with sea-level rise down in the Keys."

That came as news to most in the Florida Keys.

RALEIGH, NC -- Raleigh police say a woman they arrested got a gun past them into the Wake County Detention Center - where it was found in her hair weave.

Tiffanie Bass, 32, was arrested during an early morning raid Wednesday at a nightclub on South Street in Raleigh.

 The raid was a joint venture by the Raleigh Police Department and state Alcohol Law Enforcement.

Bass was arrested at Club Rumors and charged with resisting an officer, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of a stolen firearm.

 It's not clear if it was the stolen firearm that ended up in the detention center, but the Wake County Sheriff's Office - which runs the center - referred all calls to Raleigh police." ... http://abc13.com/news/police-woman-had-gun-hidden-in-hair-weave-at-detention-center/363453/

As Two Men Go Free, a Dogged Ex-Prosecutor Digs In - NYTimes.com

As Two Men Go Free, a Dogged Ex-Prosecutor Digs In - NYTimes.com:

NYT: In Lumberton NC – “As Two Men Go Free, a Dogged
Ex-Prosecutor Digs In” By RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr. SEPT. 7, 2014



LUMBERTON, N.C. — The most memorable moment of the trial
that put Henry McCollum and Leon Brown behind bars for three decades for a
hideous 1983 rape and murder was a display of brilliant courtroom theatrics.
District Attorney Joe Freeman Britt of Robeson County, who
stood 6-foot-6 and came to be known as America’s “Deadliest D.A.,” asked jurors
to try to hold their breath for five minutes — the time it took the 11-year-old
victim to choke to death, after her killer stuffed her panties down her throat
with a stick — to get a small sense of the horror she experienced.

The jury came back with two of the more than 40 death
penalty convictions Mr. Britt won over almost two decades.

Those two convictions were obtained on the basis of
inconsistent, soon recanted, confessions from two mentally impaired teenagers
who said they had been coerced to sign statements written by interrogators, and
testimony by an informer who previously did not implicate the two. They were
overturned last week, and Mr. McCollum and Mr. Brown were exonerated and set
free.

History News Network: NYT interviews Rick Perlstein about his book

NYT interviews Rick Perlstein about his book


“….What was the last truly great book you read? … A volume of Chekhov’s short stories. I don’t read many popular histories like the ones I write. The building blocks for my research are scholarly monographs, and the inspiration for my storytelling style are folks like Chekhov. His masterful long short story “A Woman’s Kingdom,” about a forlorn heiress saddled against her will with the job of running the family business, precisely exemplifies what I’m aiming to accomplish in my history writing: to sympathetically reimagine the points of view of people from all genders, ideologies and social identities...

Flight Diverted When Passengers Feud Over Reclining Seat : The Two-Way : NPR

Flight Diverted When Passengers Feud Over Reclining Seat : The Two-Way : NPR:



"Flying is already a pain. But a story from the Associated Press Tuesday really brings home the point: The wire service reports that an entire plane was diverted on Sunday after a fight broke out over a passenger's right to recline her seat.


[...]


For the record, the maker of the device tells USA Today this is the first time it has heard of anything like this happening with its product."


++++ 


See also: "United flight diverts over 'Knee Defender' fighthttp://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2014/08/26/knee-defender-fight-united-flight-diverted/14609109/


++++


As if flying is not already unpleasant enough.... At 6' 3" I am constantly fighting this battle - the battle over the person in front of me on a plane reclining their seat into my knees and my face so that I cannot use the work tray, 'enjoy' my seat - or breathe...


In the past, after observing my plight, the flight attendant, without me asking, has required the person in front of me to put their seat in the upright position.


I too, have very-very politely asked the person on front of me to put their seat in the upright position and had that person absolutely refuse. At that point I usually "Zen it." politely and quietly.


I think that people who recline their seat into the face of the person seated behind them on a airplane are narcissistic sociopaths. Usually when it happens to me, I realize that I have been just given a signal that the person in front of me is aggressively rude and impolite and that I should be frightened of them. All I want to do is get to my destination.  I usually simply avoid any interaction with them - at all costs.


Ultimately I agree with the commenters on the article that believe that it is the fault of the airlines. I am surprised that the planes are still built with reclining seats.  Reclining seats have caused so many problems on these planes that inhumanely pack people into impossible seating arrangements that I have no idea why reclining seat have not been banned...


All that said, I usually just grin and bear it when faced with such incivility. Nowadays, I understand that flying is very unpleasant and I work hard to make the best of it. I just wanna get home - and not make an already very bad situation worse...

Berkeley City Council Mandates Free Pot for the Poor | KQED News Fix

Berkeley City Council Mandates Free Pot for the Poor | KQED News Fix:

"Berkeley’s medical marijuana dispensaries must provide 2 percent of their cannabis free of charge to very low-income residents under a law passed unanimously by the City Council earlier this month.

Individual patients who make under $32,000, or families that earn less than $46,000, qualify for the complimentary cannabis. The law further requires that the free marijuana “be the same quality on average as medical cannabis that is dispensed to other members.”

When Westminster was first laid out by William Winchester in 1764, it was located on one of the three main routes west in what we now know as Carroll County. 


Today these routes are known as Route 30, Route 140, and Route 26.

Winchester formed Westminster at a point one day's travel between Reisterstown and Taneytown on one of these main routes used by settlers as they traveled west. 


 Its emphasis on public safety and the promotion of low taxes, good roads and a pro-business environment encouraged many travelers to stay in the Westminster and Carroll County area.


Not to be overlooked were the good hotels, inns, restaurants and provisioning stores that were quickly established in Westminster to meet the needs of the stream of folks using those routes

That tradition of good restaurants and stores remains in Carroll County and the Westminster area 250 years later..."

In Ferguson, young demonstrators are finding it’s not their grandparents’ protest - The Washington Post

In Ferguson, young demonstrators are finding it’s not their grandparents’ protest - The Washington Post: "FERGUSON, Mo. — It hasn’t been so easy for traditional civil-rights-era activists in this small St. Louis suburb in recent weeks, where the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer has put them on all-too-familiar turf: challenging the treatment of African American men by police."
