>"While our search for the rest of the wreckage will continue, I hope everyone connected to this historic ship will feel some measure of closure at this discovery so long in coming.”

>Maria Eck Bullard, the daughter of now-deceased survivor Harold Eck, received the surprising news in a phone call Saturday morning. Bullard is the chair of the USS Indianapolis Second Watch Organization, focused on keeping the families and remaining survivors connected and remembering the legacy of those who died.
>Finding the ship was one of many of the survivors and their families' goals, she said.
>"It's their final resting place so its kind of sacred ground," Bullard said. "It has brought the relief of some closure, but I do think it’s also a very sensitive subject."
>She said she has not spoken with Allen yet, and she worried about all of the families who found out about the news from social media or news stories.
>Allen’s team is still surveying the site of the wreckage and plans to conduct a live tour of the wreckage in the next few weeks. The crew is working with the Navy and plans to honor the remaining 22 USS Indianapolis crew members and families of crew members.
>"Even in the worst defeats and disasters there is valor and sacrifice that deserves to never be forgotten," Sam Cox, director of the Naval History and Heritage Command, said in a statement. "They can serve as inspiration to current and future sailors enduring situations of mortal peril.
>There are also lessons learned, and in the case of the Indianapolis, lessons re-learned, that need to be preserved and passed on, so the same mistakes can be prevented, and lives saved."
>In March 2015, an Allen expedition team discovered the remains of the Japanese battleship Musashi, and this past March, his team found the Artigliere, a World War II destroyer.
>The shipwreck was the subject of the 2016 movie "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage" staring Nicolas Cage.

No disrespect to those who died, but I hate how the media has to mention sharks in every disaster at sea.

They don't mention the wild hogs whenever talking about mexican border-crossers, after all.

The difference is that nobody believes the pro-trump Russian fake news anymore like they still did during the election. Now we know what they are doing to try to prop up Trump as legitimate. Hell, Trump's own son released emails from that meeting where the Russians describe themselves as pro-Trump. It's not a matter of dispute anymore.

What, you want pics of the headless torso?

A taser is not a compliance device. Cops need this drilled into their heads.

>>170801
They probably could have avoided all of that retardation with some pepper spray, christ at this rate I should become a cop to balance out the retards.

>>170827
You don't even need pepper spray. In this case the man was drunk and not belligerent. You can talk a drunk person into almost anything. Police need to be trained better in subtlety and persuasion. And beyond that, there are certain holds and compliance inducing methods that don't rely on constant pain - for example, the one everyone knows, where your arm is bent behind your back - it gives a quick, sharp jab of pain, very good at keeping people under control, but you can keep that hold in place without causing any pain. There is no need for a taser, pepper spray, any of that. You might not remember this, but back in the day, I actually knew most of the cops around where I lived by name - and most of them knew most of the residents. Things went a lot smoother, because they knew what situations to expect. Nowadays they're jumpy because almost every situation is unique or at least involves unknown people. This is why it's important that common sense is instilled during their training - it's possible to induce compliance without violence or anything more than the threat of pain. In fact, there's an entire fucking martial art dedicated to this purpose - aikido. In my mind, there needs to be a reevaluation of the purpose of law enforcement - is it to keep people safe, or keep them disciplined and controlled? I'm not saying cops should be disarmed. But their core philosophy needs some revising.

>Consumers in the government-sponsored markets can dodge the hit with the help of tax credits that most of them qualify for to help pay premiums. But off-marketplace customers pay full freight, and they face a second consecutive year of steep increases. Many are self-employed business owners.

>The report also found that insurer participation in the ACA markets will be lower than at any time since “Obamacare” opened for business in 2014. The average: 4.6 insurers in the states studied, down from 5.7 insurers this year. In many cases insurers do not sell plans in every community in a state.

>The researchers analyzed publicly available filings through which insurers justify their proposed premiums to state regulators. To be sure, insurers continue to struggle with sicker-than-expected customers and disappointing enrollment. And an ACA tax on the industry is expected to add 2 to 3 percentage points to premiums next year.

>But on top of that, the researchers found the mixed signals from the administration account for some of the higher charges. Those could increase before enrollment starts Nov. 1.

>“The vast majority of companies in states with detailed rate filings have included some language around the uncertainty, so it is likely that more companies will revise their premiums to reflect uncertainty in the absence of clear answers from Congress or the administration,” the report said. Once premiums are set, they’re generally in place for a whole year.

>Insurers who assumed that Trump will make good on his threat to stop billions in payments to subsidize copays and deductibles requested additional premium increases ranging from 2 percent to 23 percent, the report found.

>Insurers who assumed the IRS under Trump will not enforce unpopular fines on people who remain uninsured requested additional premium increases ranging from 1.2 percent to 20 percent.

>“In many cases that means insurers are adding double-digit premium increases on top of what they otherwise would have requested,” said Cynthia Cox, a co-author of the Kaiser report. “In many cases, what we are seeing is an additional increase due to the political uncertainty.”

>That doesn’t sound like what Trump promised when he assumed the presidency.

>In a Washington Post interview ahead of his inauguration, Trump said, “We’re going to have insurance for everybody.”

>“There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it,” he added. “That’s not going to happen with us.”

>People covered under Obama’s law “can expect to have great health care,” Trump said at the time. “It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better.”

>But the White House never produced the health care proposal Trump promised. And the GOP bills in Congress would have left millions more uninsured, a sobering side-effect that contributed to their political undoing.

>The Trump administration sidestepped questions about its own role raised by the Kaiser study.

>Spokeswoman Alleigh Marre said rising premiums and dwindling choices predate Trump.

>“The Trump administration is committed to repealing and replacing Obamacare and will always be focused on putting patients, families, and doctors, not Washington, in charge of health care,” Marre said in a statement.

>The ongoing political turmoil for people who buy individual health insurance stands in sharp contrast to relative calm and stability for the majority of Americans insured through workplace plans. The cost of employer-sponsored coverage is expected to rise around 5 or 6 percent next year, benefits consultants say.

So congress refusing to pass a repeal and replace law, means America will have much higher insurance premiums because of the Obama care failure...and this is all Trump's fault? Seriously the amount of reaching that is going now days.

>Because the statue was on county property, Bell would not comment on any possible charges against the protesters for the vandalism.

>Shortly after 9:30 p.m., Durham Police issued a response to the protests.

>"The DPD is aware that a Confederate monument was toppled at the old Durham County courthouse. Because this incident occurred on county property, where county law enforcement officials were staffed, no arrests were made by DPD officers," the department said in a statement."

>Police said the Durham County Sheriff's Office is the agency that has jurisdiction over all county buildings and landmarks.

>"When monitoring such incidents, the Sheriff's Office is the decision-making agency regarding law enforcement response on matters concerning county property," DPD explained.

>Shortly before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, Durham County issued an innocuous statement regarding the recent events:

>"Our elected officials and senior staff understand the unrest in our nation and community, particularly following the senseless acts that took place in Charlottesville, VA. We share the sentiments of many communities around the nation that admonish hate and acts of violence as we believe civility is necessary in our every action and response. Governmental agencies dedicated to public safety will continue to work collectively to ensure Durham remains a community of excellence where all of our residents can live peacefully, grow and thrive."

>Protesters then moved on to walk down to Roxboro Street at Main Street, where the blocked the intersection.

>The protesters later marched to the site of the new Durham Police headquarters, which is under construction.

>Durham Police remained close by but kept their distance from the protesters.

>The protest is now over but there is a police presence outside of the courthouse.

You make it sound like it was an accident. This dude rammed into a group of people protesting the white supremacist rally intentionally.

He calls himself “a home grown California kid in a grown man’s body delivering real news with real problems,” although his videos mostly document his antics.

He has been doing “butt dart” stunts at least since May, and some of his followers have joined him.

There are no state or local regulations against the act. Law requires that drivers must leave at least three feet of space as they pass cyclists, but there is no other regulation against drivers or pedestrians harassing cyclists.

California Highway Patrol officer Josh Nelson said it’s difficult to cite someone simply for yelling.

“Everyone would be arrested,” Nelson said.

But he also emphasized that the CHP’s “Share the Road” campaign highlights a need for drivers to understand that many roads are to be shared between drivers and cyclists.

Manzella, on Wednesday, said the Newport Beach Police Department has not fielded any criminal reports on “butt dart.” She also said, as far as she knows, no one has filed a complainant about the stunts.

She said it would be hard to cite or prosecute someone for the stunts.

“There are very specific violations of a law that has to take place in order for a criminal report,” she said. “There are a lot of acts that may fall short of that.”

Manzella urged those who witness or are targets of the stunts to call the police nonetheless.

“We can send officers to intervene before it escalates,” she said.

But regardless of the legalities, the act is upsetting many cyclists.

In Pedroza’s case, a car jumped in front of him while he was bicycling a couple of weeks ago. Riders in the car yelled at Pedroza, and he later saw a video of the incident on the ocinstanews Instagram page.

“How does that even make sense?” he said.

Around two months ago, Rick Van Tuyl was riding a tandem bike in Laguna Beach with a rider who is blind when an Audi pulled up next to him. He said those in the car yelled “butt dart” and shouted obscenities. Despite little traffic, the car drove side-by-side with van Tuyl’s bicycle for miles, he said.

“I didn’t know what would happen if kids ran out,” the 53-year-old Orange resident said.

>“I’ve seen proposals that drop it to $500,000,” said Rohit Kumar, lead on PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Washington tax policy team and a former senior staffer to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, one of the six congressional and administration leaders negotiating tax reform.

>After tabling a 20 percent business tax on imported goods and services, known as border adjustability, Republicans need ways to pay for tax cuts so they can minimize the amount those cuts would add to the deficit. The Tax Foundation, a tax policy think tank, estimates that after factoring in negative economic consequences, $308 billion could be saved over the 10-year budget window Republicans are working with by lowering the mortgage deduction.

>Like many issues in tax reform, the mortgage interest deduction divides more along parochial than ideological lines. Conservatives and progressives alike criticize the deduction as inefficient and more useful for wealthy taxpayers than the working class it’s supposed to help put in homes. But its popularity with homeowners in more expensive areas and with the real estate industry have helped it weather past attempts to cut or eliminate it.

>“There’s not a lot of conservative support for the mortgage interest deduction,” said Ryan Ellis, a conservative tax lobbyist.

>One example: In February, Mark Calabria, then a financial regulatory expert with the libertarian CATO Institute and now Vice President Mike Pence’s top economic adviser, and progressive housing activist Diane Yentel penned an op-ed in favor of reducing the mortgage deduction.

>Conservative support for cutting the deduction, combined with smoke signals out of the White House that a reduction could be a part of a broader tax reform package, has the real estate and building industries concerned.

>“[L]imiting the mortgage interest deduction amounts to a de facto tax increase on current or future homeowners while putting homeownership further out of reach for prospective buyers,” said National Association of Realtors President William Brown in a statement. “We would have strong objections over any effort to further cap or limit the deductibility of mortgage interest.”

>Brown added that he hadn’t seen a sure signal that capping mortgage interest would definitely be in a tax reform proposal, though a $500,000 cap was brought up as an option at the White House, according to those who attended the meeting.

>Another part of the calculus for the Trump administration and congressional conservatives: Use of the deduction could dramatically drop if Republicans push through the doubling of the standard deduction that individuals can take instead of itemizing different tax write-offs.

>Reducing the mortgage interest deduction "gets a little tricky because it depends on what else you’re doing on the individual side,” said Kumar, who added that it’s only on the table if Republicans follow through on their goal of doubling the standard deduction.

>By some estimates, doubling the standard deduction could lower by 90 percent the use of the mortgage interest deduction by middle-class Americans, eroding much of the argument for keeping it.

>That’s made the Republican proposal to double the standard deduction a proxy battle over the mortgage benefit. Even though the administration signaled it would keep the mortgage interest deduction in the tax code when Cohn and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced Trump’s tax goals this past spring, the National Association of Realtors blasted the inclusion of doubling the standard deductions in those goals.

>House Speaker Paul Ryan reiterated doubling of the standard deduction as a goal in tax reform during a meeting with conservative groups on July 28.

>“By doubling the standard deduction and repealing the state and local tax deduction, [Trump’s] plan would effectively nullify the current tax benefits of owning a home for the vast majority of tax filers,” NAR said in a statement tied to the release of Trump’s tax goals.

>Still, the industry hopes for a near-literal Trump card in the form of the president and his family's deep ties to the real estate industry.

>“I’m not so sure it’s going to translate into legislative language,” said one lobbyist tracking the issue, citing Trump’s real estate business. The same lobbyist anticipated a “broad-based campaign” in opposition to any reduction in mortgage interest this fall if the proposal stays in the tax reform conversation.
