News Biden: Being only white lifeguard taught me about race

By Staff Reports In 1962, Joe Biden rejected the more typical summer activities for a 19-year-old and took a job as a lifeguard at a public pool in Delaware’s largest city.

The former vice president was the only white lifeguard— and one of the few white people at the Wilmington pool at all, he wrote in his autobiography, “Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics.”

“I wanted to get more involved,” Biden said Monday at that pool. “I’d turn on the television and I’d see and listen to Dr. (Martin Luther) King and others, but I didn’t know any black people. So, I wanted to work here.”

At a ceremony renaming the pool the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Aquatic Center, Delaware Gov. John Carney said Biden’s experience as a lifeguard was the start of his commitment to civil rights.

Biden said he and the dozen black lifeguards he worked with taught each other about race and privilege.

“They’d ask me questions—because I really was the only white guy they really knew—about things that just startled me,” Biden said. “I remember one lifeguard asked if I had a 5-gallon can for gasoline. I said ‘No, I don’t. But what do you need it for?’ He said, ‘I’m going down to see

my grandmom in North Carolina. We can’t stop at most gas stations. They won’t let us stop at most gas stations.’ I learned a lot.”

“Every day, it seemed to be, black people got subtle and not-so-subtle reminders that they didn’t quite belong in America,” Biden wrote in his book, where he described that summer. “It was a dozen small cuts a day.”

Carney said Biden’s experience as a lifeguard “inspired him, in a way, to change our country.”

“Naming this facility after our former vice president is a message to these young people and young people across the state and city about what Joe stood for and continues to stand for,” said Carney, a Democrat. “I can’t think of a better way to honor our Joe.” Diddy’s ‘Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’ lets ‘90s rap stories shine

By JOSEPH LONGO Associated Press Sean “Diddy” Combs is often thinking of his old friend, the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G., whose career he helped launch in the early ‘90s.

The Grammy-winning rapper and producer said it’s the right time to commemorate his and B.I.G.’s legacies 20 years after his protege was gunned down in Los Angeles during the

height of rap’s East CoastWest Coast rivalry.

Combs stars in the new documentary “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop,” which chronicles the rise of his label Bad Boy as a hip-hop powerhouse, culminating in a 2016 tour that honored its successes as well as B.I.G. The concerts brought together some of the late rapper’s frequent collaborators, including Lil’ Kim and Faith Evans.

Combs, 47, acknowledges his story is a part of history.

So when the opportunity arose to chronicle his life, he agreed. If someone was going to tell it, Combs said he’d better do it himself.

“You have to get to a certain point to smell the roses,” he said. “If not, then you’ll get an award when you’re 60, you’ll be trying to smell the roses then and you can’t do the latest dance.”

“Can’t Stop Won’t Stop,” which will be released on Apple Music on Sunday, arrives at a time when many others are reflecting on the gangster rap era.

“Straight Outta Compton” found critical and commercial success in 2015 depicting the rise of N.W.A. and its stars, Easy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. Last week, Tupac Shakur’s biopic, “All Eyez On Me,” exceeded expectations by earning $27

million its opening weekend.

“The Defiant Ones,” a HBO documentary series about producers Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, premieres on July 9.

Combs compared the multi-generational interest in ‘90s hip-hop to previous documentaries about iconic rock bands, including The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and U2.

“It was important to tell that story for the generations that were catching-up, that were there and that don’t know about it,” he said.

The 20 year mark is common when reconsidering major cultural moments, said Todd Boyd a professor of race and popular culture at the University of Southern California.

Boyd said hip-hop was viewed as a fad in the 1970s and early ‘80s. He credits Dr. Dre and Combs with showcasing the genre’s viability.

“The culture is starting to recognize, appreciate and respect the contributions of people who have been able to do it over a long period of time,” said Boyd, who specializes in the history of hip-hop.

The genre is rooted in the history of violence and race, Boyd said. Both B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, and Shakur were shot to death during the mid-1990s East Coast-West Coast feud.

Director Daniel Kaufman weaved archival footage with new video to highlight both the immediate effect and ongoing aftermath of B.I.G.’s death. The film shines light on Faith Evans and Lil’ Kim’s reconciliation. Kim previously dated B.I.G., but Evans was married to the rapper at the time of his death in 1997. “It was a blessing to see it happen—for two grown women to put their differences aside and just go to the love,” Combs said.

“That’s what family is about.”

Family is how Combs runs his successful businesses.

Forbes magazine recently named him the highestpaid celebrity. With his Sean John clothing line, a stake in Ciroc vodka and the Bad Boy reunion tour, Combs made $130 million between June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2017, the magazine reported.

Combs said he wants to continue being a platform for the next generation of artists, including two of his six children already in the entertainment industry.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The dreams the Lee family held for their son dissipated that night when a car pulled up [and a man] … shot Wendell multiple times with an assault-style rifle” —Sheriff’s Deputy Lillian Peck

Quincy Brown, 26, is a series regular on Fox’s “Star,” while Christian Combs, 19, has a record deal with Bad Boy. As for his next chapter, Combs said his success has always stemmed from trust,

whether it was promoting B.I.G. or new artists.

“I built a reputation through all of that to be trusted with their stories—to be trusted with the content,” Combs said.

Pepe lives: Cartoonist resurrecting frog hijacked by trolls

By Michael Kunzelman Pepe the Frog is coming back from the dead.

Los Angeles-based cartoonist Matt Furie told The Associated Press on Monday that he intends to resurrect the character he killed off last month in what appeared to be a rebuke to racist, anti-Semitic internet trolls who hijacked his creation, transforming it into a hate symbol.

Furie and his brother, Jason, launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise $10,000 for a new comic book featuring Pepe.

He also has an attorney, Kimberly Motley, exploring possible litigation against those profiting off Pepe’s image without Furie’s permission.

A cartoon released in May showed Pepe in an open casket.

Furie said he created that cartoon as “art therapy” shortly after November’s presidential election and nearly forgot about it.

Furie said he was surprised by the wave of publicity generated by Pepe’s “death.”

“It was supposed to just be a joke,” he said.

The “Save Pepe” campaign that Furie launched Monday on Kickstarter says its aim is “reclaiming his status as a universal symbol for peace, love, and acceptance.” If the campaign meets its goal, Furie said he would see that as “proof that Pepe is still a positive thing.”

Furie’s “chill frog-dude” debuted in a 2006 comic book called “Boy’s Club.” Pepe’s likeness became a popular canvas for benevolent internet memes.

But the user-generated mutations became increasingly hateful and ubiquitous more than a year before the 2016 presidential election. Furie was horrified to see his creation become a mascot for the “alt-right” fringe movement, a loosely connected mix of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and other rightwing extremists.

On two occasions, including one recent incident, LAPD patrol cars parked in front of the building “have been vandalized, including with graffiti threatening to kill officers, while officers were inside the property handling a call,” the suit says.

Some residents are hostile to officers and loyal to the street gang, even when the LAPD is responding to shootings that put those living there in danger, the suit states.

News A STEAMy summer in Compton Unified Roosevelt MS has become STEAM Central this summer as middle school students from throughout the District gather every day to challenge themselves and each other to create amazing projects.

“The whole purpose is to give students more STEM (and STEAM) opportunities and particularly in robotics,” said Danny Figueroa, the project’s organizer and one of the founders of the Compton Robotics Club.

Figueroa explained the project: There’s a “Maker Academy” for younger students who will be busy using STEM and STEAM principles to create things.

Those students were making “ d o o d l e bots” when we visited nothing more than a plastic cup, markers, tape and small battery-operated motor. But in the hands of these student engineers they created masterpieces.

“They’re coming up with their own unique individualized designs,” said Wade Osborne, McNair ES Science Teacher. “And they’re testing them - using theories of science to test their designs.”

“I was trying to make my robot make a bunch of random lines, said Jasleene Zuniga, a Laurel ES 4th grader. “It made random

circles and lines and some kind of star.” Jasleene says she enjoys the challenges and the artistic opportunities in the program. “You get to have fun and let your creative side come out.”

Rebecca Aguilera told us, “I wasn’t interested in (building robots) before but I’m really interested in it now.” and Antonio Cruz, her project partner said, “I like that we get to program the robots and get to use the computers.”

The second group are the “Aeronautical Engineers”

who are working on designing and building water rockets.

And the third group are the “Solar Engineers” who are busy building solar-powered cars they’ll race later in the program.

“All of them are engaged,” said Yakubu Aderoummu, Vanguard ES science teacher.

“And every day you see them come in here, even before we get here. When it’s time to leave they don’t want to leave.

I hope this can continue.”

“We have students here at this camp from all across Compton Unified who are hungry for robotics,

engineering, and coding,” said Michael Kurinsky, CUSD’s Administrator for Educational Services. “And we are going to continue to offer these programs because they get students excited about learning. It’s truly inspiring to see students stumped by a challenge, but then on the spot collaborate with each other and ask the right questions to get at the heart of the problem and eventually solve it.”

George Fuentes loves the program because, “I get to hang out with my friends and I get to make my favorite robot.” ​“In my opinion I love robotics, and I love math, and I love science - I love STEM,” said Dania Ortiz, a Bursch ES 6th grader. “It’s because it’s very interesting to me. I want to study be an engineer. I want to be an aircraft engineer.”

Dania’s project partner, Ramon Alcaraz, an Anderson ES 6th grader, also has ambitious goals. “I want to build robots to help people out. If there’s an earthquake the robot I constructed goes and searches for people that are stuck.”

“If you give students the right opportunities,” said Figueroa, “they light up and they learn more and they become more engaged. And it puts them on the path to becoming life-long learners and on track to STEM careers – which we need more of!

Opinion Ad tax=bad business

By Peter Hong President Trump and the Republican majority in Congress have pledged to do something that hasn’t been done in over thirty years: comprehensively reform our badly broken tax code.

Having stalled on legislation to overhaul Obamacare, failed to even begin construction on a wall protecting the southern border, and spent much too much time distracted by all things Russia, Congressional Republicans have little to show the voters. Having given the GOP a mandate for change just a few short months ago, Republican voters are understandably frustrated.

In a recent Fox News poll of all voters, an overwhelming 73 percent of all voters said that Congress should reform the tax code this year, including 81 percent of Republicans, 75 percent of independents, and even 61 percent of Democrats. Congress must pass tax reform, and it must do so this year; of that, there is no doubt.

But how Congress reforms the tax code is as important — probably more so — than when tax reform is passed. Will tax reform create jobs or kill them? Will it favor entrenched businesses or create a level playing field allowing new and innovative entrants in the marketplace? Nothing quite illustrates the saying “the devil is in the details” more markedly than the federal legislative process and close scrutiny is warranted.

Whenever Congress is working on taxes, every member is on the lookout for a revenue honey pot from which to pilfer funds. And right now, some in Congress have got their sights set on the current tax deduction for advertising expenses.

Since Congress first adopted the U.S. tax code, advertising expenses have been fully deductible as an “ordinary and necessary” business expense. The logic

of allowing businesses to treat advertising expenses as part of the cost of doing business has made sense for the past hundred years to anyone who doesn’t get their paycheck from Washington. Businesses have to advertise their goods and services in order to conduct their business. Just as the cost of other fundamental business expenses — such as employee compensation, rent and utilities — has always been fully deductible, so too has advertising.

But advertising adds even more benefits than simply allowing businesses to operate. Whether by word of mouth, print, broadcasting or online, advertising provides consumers with their most powerful tool: information.

Thanks to technological developments like the Internet and social media, businesses can use advertising to reach new and receptive audiences that were once unimaginable just two decades ago. And advertising is the critical weapon that startup enterprises need to bring new products and services to old markets.

Dr. Kenneth Arrow and Dr. George Stigler, both Nobel laureates, praised the value of advertising: “Advertising is a powerful tool of competition.

It provides valuable information about products and services in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

In this way, advertising helps the economy to function

smoothly — it keeps prices low and facilitates the entry of new products and new firms into the market.”

The highly regarded economic consulting firm IHS Global Insight estimates that advertising expenditures account for $5.8 trillion in economic output in the United States — or 17.2 percent of the $33.8 trillion in total U.S. economic output.

Advertising-driven sales of products and services help support 21.7 million jobs, or 16 percent of the 136.2 million jobs in our country. Every dollar of advertising spending generates just under $22 of economic output, and every million dollars of ad spending supports 81 American jobs.

In other words, advertising helps drive our economy. The goal of tax reform should not be to simply redistribute tax incentives, but to make our tax code more friendly to job creation, new market entrants and economic revitalization.

Tax reform should also not be used to raise taxes, which is exactly what eliminating the full deductibility of advertising expenses would do.

55 percent of all voters polled by Fox News in March said their taxes were too high. Yet, that has not stopped so-called tax reformers — Republicans as well as Democrats — from seeking to mask tax increases, like reducing the deductibility of advertising expenses, in the guise of tax “reform.”

Georgia special election grants Trump, GOP Congress mandate, but narrow window remains before 2018

By Peter Hong Sorry for being the skunk at the GOP picnic, but let’s not get too comfortable yet about the results of Tuesday’s special election.

Much to the dismay of Democrats and their boosters in the mainstream media (the deafening silence from the media was priceless!), Georgia Republican Karen Handel won the runoff for the special election replacing Tom Price in Georgia’s 6th Congressional district. She beat back 30-year old, carpet-bagging, documentary filmmaking Jon Ossoff and a recordbreaking amount of liberal Democrat money to do it. That’s the good news.

The bad news is Republicans have always had a bad habit of taking away the wrong message from elections. On the same night Handel won a traditionally safe, GOP congressional district by five points (the 6th has been in GOP hands since 1978; Tom Price won reelection by 25 points in 2016), Republican Ralph Norman won the special election in South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District by only three points (Mick Mulvaney won reelection by over 20 points in 2016).

While Republicans are now unbeaten in the four contested special elections (when you add in wins in Kansas and Montana), the margins of victory have been uncomfortably thin, especially on traditionally solid GOP turf.

Now, don’t get me wrong — winning is always better than losing. A loss would have led to a Republican meltdown — at least in D.C. All of Washington would have bought into the mainstream media’s false storyline blaming Trump. Congressional action on the Trump agenda would have gone from infrequent to nonexistent, as distractions like the Mueller investigation would have gained steam. Whispers of impeachment would have grown louder in GOP circles, with Republican leadership wringing their hands and waiting for the right time to stage a political coup. After all, Republicans do have a bad habit of taking away the wrong message from elections.

Instead, it’s the Democrats, having now suffered four consecutive losses, who are trying to explain to angry donors how they wasted at least 30 million dollars on a single district in Georgia. The Democrat strategy to make the race a referendum on President Trump backfired; the more nationalized the race grew, the more it spurred Republicans to come out and vote for Handel. Just like last year, Democrats bet big against Trump — and crapped out.

The message to Democrats was simple: get a message, other than “we hate Trump” – a tough call for the party of perpetual outrage. But the voters also sent a message to Republicans and it wasn’t a pat on the back.

As Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning summarized it: “The Georgia Congressional race should serve as a wake-up call for the GOP in Washington, D.C. to get to work on President Trump’s agenda. The RyanMcConnell rope a dope strategy where they spend more time on vacation than doing the people’s business will lead to catastrophic results in November of 2018. Speaker Ryan should immediately cancel the August recess and move aggressively forward on the President’s agenda with an emphasis on economic growth measures, including laying the groundwork for tax cuts, turning the President’s infrastructure plan into legislation and sending it to the Senate, and cutting the budget in accordance with the Trump budget.”

Reinforcing that notion, Washington Post reporter Robert Costa spoke to a number of Georgia voters leading up to the election and learned that most cared not a lick about the Russia investigation sideshow, but about (surprise, surprise, Beltway Republicans) the issues. Georgia Republican voter Malone Dodson summed it up best: “Faith, health, living condition and the economy, those are my issues… My take on Trump is: Better to leave him alone. He’ll straighten out and be fine… [On Russia,] [q]uit paying attention to that and see the big picture. We need a good economy, good defense and good jobs, and Trump’s doing it.”

But are Republicans listening? Based on their actions (or inaction) since being handed majorities in both houses of Congress and control of the White House, the answer prior to this week’s elections seemed to be “No.” Pro-growth tax reform is still in the talking points stages, infrastructure is even further behind, and — in spite of terrorist acts here and abroad and gang warfare inspired by illegal immigration in America’s suburbs — there’s not even a peep from Capitol Hill about funding for a border wall. Speaker Ryan has yet to heed the call to cancel Congress’ summer vacation in August, and the Senate is still the graveyard where good legislation is sent to die.

Hopefully, that’s about to change. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised floor action on health care before the Fourth of July, and President Trump has been hitting the road urging Congress to act on his agenda for America.

Opinion

Supreme Court vindicates Trump on travel restrictions

By Natalia Castro Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency thus far, left-leaning courts have tried to overrule his constitutional and legal authority; last week the highest court in the land sent the message that this practice is unacceptable, and reinstated the vast majority of the President’s temporary travel ban against immigrants and refugees from six Muslim-majority countries.

In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court agreed to grant a stay on lower court injunctions against the travel ban, allowing it to take effect, with limited exceptions for individuals with close familial relationships, individuals on student visas, and individuals on employment visas. While this is a big win for President Trump, it took a while to get here.

Within weeks of Trump enacting Executive Order: Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States, lower court federal judges had blocked portions of the order from taking effect in their states. On February 3rd, 2017, a district judge from Washington State ruled that the states that filed lawsuits against the travel ban, “have met their burden of demonstrating that they face immediate and irreparable injury as a result of the signing and implementation of the executive order.”

That, despite the reality that presently 16 “travel bans” or Presidential Proclamations limiting travel, are in effect in various Latin American, Middle Eastern, and African countries. Travel bans are a common policy option for Presidents, but apparently not President Trump, in the lower courts’ eyes.

In a three-judge panel in the Ninth District Court, judges ruled against reinstating the travel ban just weeks later. The court used Trump’s campaign statements and tweets to conclude Trump was

unfairly targeting Muslim countries and violating the First Amendment right to immigrate to the U.S. — a First Amendment right that somehow never even existed until the courts ruled in 2017.

The court also took issue with whether the travel ban had applied to those who were in the midst of travel when the ban took effect. The administration argued that it didn’t.

To appease his critiques, President Trump reissued the restrictions with changes to address certain issues.

Trump’s second executive order stated, “Each of these countries is a state sponsor of terrorism, has been significantly compromised by terrorist organizations, or contains active conflict zones.

Any of these circumstances diminishes the foreign government’s willingness or ability to share or validate important information about individuals seeking to travel to the United States. Moreover, the significant presence in each of these countries of terrorist organizations, their members, and others exposed to those organizations increases the chance that conditions will be exploited to enable terrorist operatives or sympathizers to travel to the United States.”

This version of the ban even excluded Iraq, because of Iraq’s recent efforts to enhance its travel documentation procedures.

While these courts have been acting politically to paint Trump as anti-Islamic, the President worked to show the courts that his primary interest is national security.

Yet, the Ninth Circuit ruled once again in June that the Executive Order was unconstitutional.

Now, the Supreme Court

has finally reminded the lower courts of their place. District courts have attempted to increase their political clout through their rulings, but the Supreme Court’s staying their injunction, allowing most of the travel restrictions to take effect implicitly denies the dubious First Amendment grounds that were raised in the case.

As Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning stated in a press release, “This is a return to

the rule of law, where the Supreme Court for now has refused to affirm lower court rulings that were not based on the actual laws and policies in question, but instead on political campaign rhetoric with no bearing on the actual case. For now, this is a huge victory not only for the Trump administration, but for the constitutional separation of powers.”

Most notably, the restrictions were only written to take place for 90 to 120 days in order to give the Department of Homeland Security time to improve their vetting procedure.

This was a necessary goal considering the LA Times of Jan. 2017 report of a glitch in the vetting system which was discovered in 2015 and prevented U.S. officials from conducting background checks on refugees. According to the report, “The refugees whose cases are under review include one who failed a polygraph test when he applied to work at a U.S. military installation overseas and another who may have been in communication with an Islamic State leader.”

Yet by the time the court

is ready to hear the case on this issue, those 90 days will be over. By then, the Department of Homeland Security will have issued its new vetting procedures and the travel restrictions will be lifted — provided immigrants and refugees can meet up with the stringent new vetting.

There will be no reason for the entire First Amendment, Trump racism case the left has been building. It will be moot.

Instead, the Supreme Court could be looking toward a narrow ruling that addresses the effect of the ban’s implementation on individuals that already had visas at the time who were met with issues at airports, or another minuscule portion of the ban that still matters in October.

This was a victory for both President Trump and the constitutional rule of law. The Supreme Court reaffirmed their place as a politically neutral, constitutionally driven body. Trump’s travel restrictions were and are constitutional and now in its final hurdles, the liberal judges attempting to destroy it, have been largely silenced.

Cut FDA red tape so doctors can better treat patients

By Peter J. Pitts Doctors often fail to treat their patients with the most effective medicines -- but it’s not their fault. Is an outdated FDA regulation to blame?

The FDA prohibits pharmaceutical companies from sharing information about “off-label” uses of medicines with physicians. Many drugs received FDA approval for one disease, but also effectively treat other illnesses that aren’t listed on the official label.

Off-label prescribing is actually quite common. Physicians prescribe one in five medicines off-label.

Currently, doctors have to make these off-label prescribing decisions based on anecdotal evidence, since they have no access to drug companies’ clinical trial data. If the FDA were to permit greater information sharing, it would enable

doctors to treat patients more effectively.

Doctors have good reason to prescribe drugs off-label. Many drugs can treat a wide variety of diseases. In fact, the average drug can treat 18 different illnesses, according to researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Stanford University, and the University of Chicago. For instance, the diabetes drug Metformin can treat breast cancer.

And the cancer drug Bexarotene has the potential to treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Doctors also prescribe drugs offlabel to treat critically-ill patients after all approved medicines have failed. For instance, many patients with certain autoimmune diseases don’t respond to approved therapies. As a last-resort, doctors will prescribe these patients Prograf, a drug approved to help prevent people’s immune systems from rejecting

organ transplants.

When doctors prescribe drugs offlabel, they gather valuable information about how well patients respond.

But current FDA policy restricts doctors from sharing this information with each other and with drug manufacturers. Drug makers are even subject to criminal prosecution and civil liability if they discuss unapproved uses of existing drugs.

Companies could seek to get their medicines approved for the off-label uses, but the FDA approval process is time-intensive and costly. In fact, the cost of reapproving a drug is greater than the profits an approval would generate, according to an article in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings. So drug companies often choose not to go through the process.

Policy makers increasingly recognize

Entertainment New life on freedom fighter Harriet Tubman’s Maryland trail

By Brian Witte PRESTON, Md.—Beside a quiet stream on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, a 19th century brick house that once served as a way station on the Underground Railroad can bring present-day visitors to tears as they gaze at the path where escaped slaves made their way to freedom.

The Jacob and Hannah Leverton house is among 36 sites along the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway.

The 125-mile route has been getting fresh attention in recent months as the nation and the world take more notice of Tubman’s heritage as a hero of freedom.

Tubman, who escaped from slavery in antebellum Maryland to become a leading abolitionist, helped other slaves escape by guiding them north on the Underground Railroad and served as a Union spy during the Civil War. “It’s hard to identify with George Washington, unless you’re an older white male. But when it comes to Tubman, there’s so many ways that people of all backgrounds and races ... can find something that they can see in themselves that she has carried forward or she held herself,” says Kate Larson, an author and historian who has written about Tubman and worked as a consultant on the byway. ___ FRESH ATTENTION The famed Underground Railroad conductor is drawing admiration from new generations.

Plans to put her on the $20 bill have received prominent attention, stirring debate about the representation of old white historic figures on the nation’s currency and the lack of women and minorities.

This year, the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution’s new National Museum of American History and Culture in Washington acquired a rare photograph of Tubman in her late 40s.

In March, the $21 million Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center opened,

not far from her Maryland birthplace. ___ LONG ROAD The designated sites and nearby landscapes offer a comprehensive look into Tubman’s life and journeys along the Underground Railroad, an informal network that helped escaping slaves evade capture and reach free states such as nearby Pennsylvania.

After about 18 years of planning, the first stops along the byway were designated in 2013 to coincide with the centennial of Tubman’s death.

“This is just an opportunity for the world to know that Harriet has been a major part of our history in the United States of America,” said Victoria Jackson-Stanley, the first black woman elected mayor of Cambridge, the county seat, not far from where Tubman was born and raised a slave. “She’s a local home girl, as I like to say, but she’s an icon for freedom.” ___ TELEVISION REVIVAL Tubman was featured recently in “Underground,” a WGN television drama about the Underground Railroad.

Actress Aisha Hinds, who played Tubman, attributes the abolitionist’s increasing prominence partly to the divided times of the present.

“I feel like, contextually, what we’re living now is sort of

a modern day manifestation and articulation of the times that Harriet Tubman was living and the obstacles that she transcended,” Hinds said at a conference on Tubman in Cambridge, Maryland.

Meanwhile, an HBO movie with Viola Davis starring as Tubman is in the works, based on Larson’s book, “Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman: Portrait of an American Hero.” ___ ACT OF DEFIANCE The site of Tubman’s first known act of defiance against slavery is one of the most popular stops on the Tubman byway.

The Bucktown Village Store has been restored at a rural crossroads believed to be where Tubman refused a slave owner’s orders to help him detain another slave. When the other slave ran, the owner grabbed a 2-pound weight and threw it at him, hitting Tubman on the head and causing an injury that would trouble her for the rest of her life. The inside still looks like a 19th century shop. The owners have some Tubmanrelated items, including a newspaper advertising a reward for Tubman and two of her brothers. Susan Meredith, who owns the site with her husband, says people have been stopping more frequently since the visitors’ center opened nearby.

Universal presses bid to void music deal with Prince estate

music rights deal with Prince’s estate, saying UMG will otherwise have to sue in litigation that could keep fans from hearing new music from Prince’s vault for years.

In a court filing made public Tuesday, Comerica Bank & Trust, which serves as executor of Prince’s estate, asked Carver County District Judge Kevin Eide to rescind the January deal with Universal after Warner Bros. Records claimed the agreement conflicted with a contract it signed with Prince in 2014. Prince died in April 2016 of an accidental painkiller overdose.

Cosby rejects ‘sexual assault tour’ idea floated by reps

By Brian Melley SANTA MONICA—Bill Cosby’s “town hall” tour is unlikely to happen before his retrial on sex assault charges in Pennsylvania, one of his lawyers said Tuesday.

Attorney Angela Agrusa said after a hearing to set a trial date in a sex abuse lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against the comedian that Cosby won’t be discussing sexual assault and she “can’t imagine” his legal team would let him perform or speak publicly as representatives said he planned to do this summer.

“He doesn’t take lightly these criminal charges,” Agrusa said. “He would never do anything that undermined the importance of this issue. I don’t see him speaking publicly like that.”

Talk of the forums after a jury deadlocked in Pennsylvania in the criminal case sparked a backlash from groups that advocate for sexual assault victims and educate about sexual abuse.

Spokespeople for Cosby and his wife had said the forums—at least one planned in Birmingham, Alabama, next month when Cosby turns 80—were aimed at educating young people how to stay out of trouble and be aware of changing sex assault laws.

After those plans were criticized, though, a spokeswoman said the meetings were never intended to be about sexual assault but an effort to restore Cosby’s legacy.

Cosby himself took issue Tuesday with the notion of a “sexual assault tour,” dismissing it as propaganda, though he left open the possibility of some future event.

“The current propaganda that I am going to conduct a sexual assault tour is false,” Cosby said in a statement. “Any further information about public plans will be given at the appropriate time.”

The comedian and actor once known as “America’s Dad” for his TV role on “The Cosby Show” as paternal Dr. Cliff Huxtable has had his reputation tarnished with accusations of sexual abuse by nearly 60 women.

One of those accusers is Judy Huth, who accused the comedian of forcing her to perform a sex act on him in a bedroom at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles around 1974 when she was 15.

Judge Craig Karlan tentatively scheduled that trial for July 30 next year with the expectation it would occur after a retrial in Pennsylvania. Cosby is due to give a second deposition in the case, but that won’t occur until after the criminal case is concluded because he could assert his right not to testify against himself.

Prosecutors in Pennsylvania said they plan to retry Cosby, possibly this fall.

A mistrial was declared June 17 on charges Cosby drugged and molested Andrea Constand, the former Temple University director of women’s basketball, at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. Cosby said the encounter was consensual.

Cosby’s legal team declared victory after the mistrial and then his representatives announced the town hall tour.

Huth’s attorney Gloria Allred said if Cosby does stage public meetings, she may hold her own forums in those cities to discuss sexual assault.

“All I can say is, Mr. Cosby, be careful what you wish for because if you go on that tour, I will be there,” Allred said outside the Santa Monica courthouse.

At issue is whether the company that initially managed Prince’s estate and negotiated the UMG agreement—Bremer Trust, and its advisers, including former Prince attorney L. Londell McMillan— misrepresented the rights that Universal was getting under the deal.

UMG says it would not have proceeded if it had known that Warner Bros. would immediately claim that it retained some of those rights and threaten to sue.

The dispute has divided Prince’s heirs and generated voluminous filings in the

estate case before Eide. The exact nature of the conflicts between the UMG and Warner Bros. agreements, and what Universal agreed to pay the estate, aren’t clear because most of the relevant court filings are sealed or heavily redacted.

Universal’s attorneys finally got to see Prince’s confidential agreement with Warner Bros. this month. In a letter to Eide dated Monday, they said their review only confirmed their desire to cancel the UMG deal.

They said the language of the Warner Bros. agreement is so ambiguous that neither

they nor the courts are in a position to determine whether the two contracts are in conflict without extensive litigation.

While the Warner Bros. agreement may be ambiguous, they said, the rights that the estate’s previous representatives promised to UMG were not.

Universal’s attorneys said canceling the agreement would be in the best interests of UMG and the estate “because it resolves this otherwise intractable dispute without the expense of lengthy litigation that will tie up these key rights for years.”

NOTICE SALE

OF

TRUSTEE’S

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/ MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2016-03441-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Easy Ideas for a Summer Party

Plan the perfect summer party with these easy entertaining tips: n

Create cozy seating arrangements complete with cushions and ample shade so guests can laugh and chat in comfort until the sun sets and beyond.

n

Be sure to create pops of color with your tableware and food.

Available in three vibrant hues – red, green and black – grapes make a beautiful centerpiece and colorful addition to any menu offering.

n

When you need a simple appetizer, grapes are as easy as it gets. Ripe and ready when you bring them home, give them a rinse, place them in a pretty bowl and you’ve got an edible centerpiece in seconds.

n

As day gives way to night, keep the festive mood strong by adding some ambient light. Whimsical paper lanterns or strings of white or colored Christmas tree lights lend a playful touch to parties after dark.
