CONCORD, N.H. (AP) ‐ A man charged with attempted murder in a church shooting attacked his public defender during a jailhouse meeting, sending the man to intensive care with severe head injuries and no memory of the beating, according to documents released Tuesday.
Dale Holloway, 37, of Manchester, assaulted public defender Michael Davidow on Monday morning at the Valley Street jail in Manchester, New Hampshire, the documents said.
No one saw the assault because the two men were in an unmonitored interview room, and the closest officer was at a desk facing away from the room, according to jail officials.
Attorneys generally turn the lights on and off or tap the glass to get the officer’s attention when a meeting ends, officials told police. In this case, the officer heard a knock and turned to see Holloway standing up and Davidow seated at the table, with his hands over his face and blood dripping onto the floor.
During the ambulance ride, Davidow told paramedics he was a public defender but didn’t remember going to work, and he was unable to answer questions about the year or time of day. At the hospital, he said he remembered putting his phone and keys into a locker at the jail before his meeting with Holloway, and then waking up in the ambulance.

Concord has certainly changed since I last saw it.....

There'll be a flood of these scam artists. Every shitty third rate high school and college track athlete will see this as an easy path to first-place results, hence big athletic scholarship $$$$$.

Mediocre in men's division. Dropped to women's, becomes a celebrated champion. Tremendous positive reinforcement.
The only losers are women, a fact that is not going unremarked.

Here's one way to reduce this kind of thing. Unmodified males will be modified at site via meat tenderizer before the race/match/game/etc. Once those naughty male bits are removed they are free to compete as they wanted.
[FOXNEWS] Authorities have ordered at least 50,000 people in Northern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, to evacuate on Saturday as a potentially "catastrophic" wind event could amplify the wildfires that have scorched the area.
The entire towns of Healdsburg and Windsor are set to evacuate ahead of strong winds that may lead to erratic fire behavior.
The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office expects to be the biggest evacuation in the county in over 25 years with Sheriff Mark Essick saying its the largest evacuation order he's experienced in his 26-year career.

Note it was again caused by a sparking high-voltage line.

So inquiring minds want to know ... if the stock value goes to zero (like Fox Biz predicted Friday) ... what happens to all the bond the State and local pension funds in California hold in that company and does the electricity go off for good?
Chapter 7 or Chapter ll?

How about just giving chain saws to homeowners and allow them to trim trees and stuff(you know, the green combustible thingies sprouting from the ground) around their homes and then also extend that to power companies to do the same around power lines.
and require those hard core eco-weenies to 'voluntarily' house those displaced by the fires in their homes.

Fifty years ago they would have brought in the teams and clear cut a generous path for the wires, made an access road and hauled the debris off to be burned. Today the mandatory environmental impact statements (plus the inevitable barrage of lawsuits) to even start planning would cost more than the earlier work -- and they want to know why the company has been ignoring the problem !?!

Are you crazy? The environmentalist would be up in arms. Surely, doing that would be endangering the already endangered Woolly Spotted Speckled Beaknosed Leopard Shrew. Now what more important I ask you?

So what they're really saying is, in the case of a civil war, people should set California on fire and it'll shut off power on its own and cause mass panics? Food for thought.
The gainfully employed are less likely to go a-jihading, always a good thing.
[AlAhram] Egypt's cabinet media center announced that the unemployment rate in Egypt reached the lowest level in 30 years with 7.5% in the second quarter of 2019, compared with 9.9% one year earlier.
The drop has been achieved thanks to main factors; including the implementation of 9,039 projects by the state during the period from July 2014 to December 2018 at a total cost of EGP 2.1 trillion, the center said in an info-graphic posted on its official website on Saturday.
The drop was also attributed to loans and facilities granted to companies and MSEs institutions at a value of EGP 144.2 billion during the period from December 2015 to June 2019, serving over 565,000 clients.

Egypt is doing a whole lot better than I would have predicted. They dodged the MusBro bullet when they tossed Morsi out, they have worked to keep the jihadis under control and el Sisi has been reaching out to the Copts which I take to be a hopeful sign. Now it looks like the economy is cruising. I wish them luck.
the total number of employed is about 28 million in a population of about 98 million
this compares to, for example, the US which has about 60% of the population employed or to, say, Israel which has about 65% of the population employed (despite a bunch of Haredi slackers)

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Four Burundian journalists arrested this week were charged on Saturday with undermining state security, an editor at their newspaper tweeted, as Burundi’s government clamps down on journalists and human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... groups ahead of elections in 2020.
The journalists from domestic news website Iwacu and their driver had travelled to report on violence in the northwestern province of Bubanza when they were arrested on Tuesday.
Security forces had said they killed 14 people in the province who had crossed the border from the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... .
The media outlet had also received reports of rebel attacks and abductions of civilians. Editors decided to send radio journalist Christine Kamikazi, political news hound Agnès Ndirubusa, English-language journalist Egide Harerimana, photographer Térence Mpozenzi and driver Adolphe Masabarakiza to check on the situation.

Journalists jugged for underming state security...I was hopeful for a moment until I read it was Burundi.
[Ynet] With the Arava region of southern Israel close to its goal of being completely reliant on solar energy during daytime hours, the team behind this achievement is now lobbying for legislation that would make whole country 100% solar energy-reliant in daylight by 2030. Be careful. Israel is not California. We kill terrorists.
[FOXNEWS] Pope Francis, rounding out his synod of Amazonian clergy, announced Saturday that he would be reopening a commission to study the history of women as deacons in the early days of the Catholic Church.
After calls by women for greater decision-making roles in the Church, the pope made the announcement at the end of his three-week assembly discussing issues facing the Amazon region, solutions to a shortage of priests, environmental protection and the role of women.
Francis originally opened a commission to study the possibility of women in the role in 2016, but the commission ended its work without a consensus on the topic. A gathering of 181 bishops voted on 120 recommendations presented to the pope. The recommendation to re-examine female deacons passed the two-thirds vote threshold, 137 in favor and 30 opposed, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"We should like to think they are as desirous and deserving of the service of the Lord as men. At the very least we can hope they won't be raping the children ! Ahem... and we shall also quell the feminist rebellion growing in the pews. So two shitty birds with one stone."

The priesthood was gay and uproarious
A sad, spartan life. It was glorious!
What crosses we carried!
But now that we're married,
Our passions are purely uxorious.

Where is his basis for ordination of women in the Bible and Dogma of the Catholic Church? This is sacrilege and heresy by liberals. More evidence of the heretical leanings of this Jesuit disaster of a Pope.
Married Priests are a different story, there is historical precedent, and right now they are allowed in the Roman church if they are married and convert from certain denomination, or the Eastern Orthodox.

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) ‐ A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating plastic from the Pacific Ocean by moving into rivers, too, using a new floating device to catch garbage before it reaches the seas.
The 25-year-old university dropout Boyan Slat founded The Ocean Cleanup to develop and deploy a system he invented when he was 18 that catches plastic waste floating in the ocean.
On Saturday he unveiled the next step in his fight: A floating solar-powered device that he calls the "Interceptor" that scoops plastic out of rivers as it drifts past.
"We need to close the tap, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place," he said, calling rivers "the arteries that carry the trash from land to sea."
Slat’s organization has in the past drawn criticism for focusing only on the plastic trash already floating in the world’s oceans. Experts say 9 million tons (8 million metric tons) of plastic waste, including plastic bottles, bags, toys and other items, flows annually into the ocean from beaches, rivers and creeks, endangering marine life in the oceans, including whales .
Three of the machines have already been deployed to Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam ‐ and a fourth is heading to the Dominican Republic, he said.
Izham Hashim from the government of Selangor state in Malaysia was present at the launch and said he was happy with the machine.

Unreal, or maybe not - this guy's got a pretty good idea (even if it's 'solar powered') and yet 'has drawn criticism' for it (not you guys; the aforementioned folks). It's just further proof that there are a number of intractable sorts who will bitch, whine and moan about everything under the sun.

Looks like paper beverage bottles are on the way, those should be easier to recycle and not have the long term polluting effects of plastic. Of course, it will be necessary to see how versatile such packaging is and also to watch for the usual unforecast consequences.

Murcek -- we used to do pretty well with cardboard milk boxes.
But swapping plastic for glass for items intended for the shower? Stupid. Swapping individual containers for bulk containers in hotels? Asking for a chem or bio incident.
