Kaufman | https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/565f8d21210000c9005ac224.jpeg?ops=1778_1000 | en-US | NEW YORK -- The Empire State wants to conquer its carbon emissions. Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday ordered the state Department of Public Service, which oversees utilities, to "design and enact" regulations mandating that the state generate half of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The announcement comes two days into the month-long COP21 climate conference in Paris, where world leaders are negotiating a deal to drastically reduce carbon emissions before the planet warms past a point that human society can sustain. “Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time, and we must act now,” Cuomo said in a statement. “As discussions continue in Paris, we are taking real, enforceable actions in New York to lay the foundation for a thriving clean energy economy." 1. Others will follow New York remains one of the most politically influential U.S. states. Its move last year to ban hydraulic fracturing -- a controversial method, known as fracking, used by energy companies to extract natural gas locked in solid bedrock -- has drawn aggressive pushback from drillers. Yet, months after New York prohibited fracking, Maryland passed a similar ban. “Governor Cuomo’s announcement puts New York right where it should be -- at the front of the pack," Heather Leibowitz, director of the nonprofit Environment New York, said in statement. "The new Clean Energy Standard will dramatically expand the amount of our electricity generated by renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar energy, and accelerate New York’s transition away from polluting fuels." 2. This props up the renewable industry State mandates bolster renewable energy industry and encourage power companies to transition from fossil fuels. New York has put a particular focus on solar. Con Edison -- New York City's chief power provider -- has doubled its production of electricity from solar over the last two years. The state also is pumping $1 billion in cash and tax incentives into a new SolarCity factory in economically stunted Buffalo. Electricity generated in the state by solar soared 300 percent from 2011 to 2014. 3. It sends a strong message in Wall Street's backyard For decades, big banks have funded the lucrative fossil fuel industry. That's beginning to change, as financiers divest from smog-causing coal, but not quickly enough. The International Energy Agency estimates that avoiding catastrophic climate change will cost at least $7 trillion a year through 2050. That's more than 19 times the $390 billion a year spent now. Aggressively pursuing renewable energy in Wall Street's backyard sends a strong message about what kinds of investments will be lucrative in the future. | <div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>NEW YORK -- The Empire State wants to conquer its carbon emissions.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Gov.

Comey, who was fired by Trump in 2017, said on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert that anyone who participated in Wednesday’s riot should turn themselves in, even if they’ve not yet been named by authorities. ″If you went up those stairs ― not even into the building ― if you went up those stairs you committed a crime. If you participated in assaults on police officers, if you went inside the building, any of that, you are going to be found,” Comey said. In a press conference Tuesday, the FBI and Justice Department announced that hundreds of cases would be brought against insurrectionists, whose actions led to the deaths of five people, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer. Michael Sherwin, acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said the range of criminal conduct was “unmatched” by anything he’d seen at the FBI or Justice Department. More than 160 case files have been opened, and 70 people have been charged so far, he said. “We’re looking at everything from simple trespass, to theft of mail, to theft of digital devices inside the Capitol, to assault on local officers, federal officers both outside and inside the Capitol, to the theft of potential national security information, to felony murder,” he said. Comey was leading the investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election before he was abruptly fired in May 2017. He has since been a vocal critic of the Trump administration. | <div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Former <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/fbi">FBI</a> Director <a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="James Comey" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="0" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/james-comey" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/james-comey" role="link" target="_blank">James Comey</a> on Tuesday advised supporters of President <a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="Donald Trump" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="1" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump" role="link" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a> that they can expect a knock on their door from authorities if they participated in last week’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Comey, who was fired by Trump in 2017, said on “<a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="The Late Show" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="2" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/the-late-show" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/the-late-show" role="link" target="_blank">The Late Show</a>” with <a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="Stephen Colbert" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="3" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/stephen-colbert" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/stephen-colbert" role="link" target="_blank">Stephen Colbert</a> that anyone who participated in Wednesday’s riot should turn themselves in, even if they’ve not yet been named by authorities.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>″If you went up those stairs ― not even into the building ― if you went up those stairs you committed a crime.

Grammy Award-winning artist Pras Michel had convinced his good friend and well-known Haitian singer Michel "Sweet Mickey" Martelly to run for office, then he heard that another famous Haitian musician had thrown his hat into the ring -- his former Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean. "That was a bombshell," he told host Roy Sekoff during Friday's episode of "The HuffPost Show." While Jean's camp had millions in his campaign fund, Sweet Mickey was getting by with much less, Michel explained. "He's the biggest Haitian international superstar, so he came in and we were the little train that could," Michel said. "Wyclef came in with $20 million just to register. We had just $17,000." Michel said the competition from Jean gave Martelly an unexpected boost in the race. Once news outlets heard that Michel and Jean were on competing campaigns, the press coverage started flowing in. "Actually, he helped us because his weight was so huge. Then everyone made it 'ex-bandmate not supporting Wyclef,' which helped Michel Martelly get some international coverage," he said. In the end, Martelly beat the odds, winning the election in a landslide vote after Jean was disqualified from the race -- though no official reason was made public, press speculated it was because he had not met the residency requirement for the role. Michel's new documentary "Sweet Micky for President,” which chronicles Martelly's road to victory, is slated to be screened at the L.A. Film Festival this year.

Instead of that vague goal of getting in shape or being healthy, try a firm resolution that you can hold yourself to: completing in a marathon. To add a little more incentive, sign up for a great destination marathon taking place in a totally vacation-worthy setting that you'd always wanted to visit anyway. Elliot Bay, Seattle Rock 'N' Roll Seattle - Seattle, Washington A member of the Rock 'N' Roll marathon series, this Seattle race is a big hit for many runners. Scheduled for June 18, 2016, this is one of the earlier big races of the year and is outside the typical May and October/November race schedule. Being in June, it's the perfect time to plan a few days to get away for a vacation. Can't miss sight: Pike Place Market is one of the oldest farmer's markets in the U.S. and one overlooks the Elliott Bay waterfront. Post race meal: While you're at the market, head over to Pike Place Chowder. Nothing beats the post race blues like a cup of hot soup.

Southernmost Point Buoy, Key West Southernmost Marathon - Key West, Florida This sunny race isn't until October 8, 2016, so you'll have plenty of time to train. Like the name implies, this is the furthest south you can get in the continental U.S., and the course takes runners right by the landmark that says so. The Key West heat might be more intense compared to what some participants will train in, but you can be sure a cold snap won't jeopardize your race day. Can't miss sight: Make sure either before or after the race, you stop for a photo at the southernmost landmark. Only 90 miles from Cuba and the race's namesake, you won't want to leave without this souvenir. Post race meal: Check out Eaton Street Seafood Market for a delicious lobster roll and a beer. The protein and the carbs will help with your recovery, and the tasty local fare is good for your soul. The Bean at Millennium Park, Chicago Bank of America Chicago Marathon - Chicago, Illinois The Chicago Marathon takes runners through the city's diverse neighborhoods and offers amazing views of the skyline. While this is a race many runners have to qualify for, there is a lottery where first timers and non-elites can throw their name in the hat. If you are aiming for Chicago's race, set for October 9, 2016, make sure you keep tabs on when you can register and when the lottery is. For the 2015 race only about 50 percent of those who entered the lottery got in, so just make sure you have a backup plan. Can't miss sight: The race starts and ends near Millennium Park, so you'll definitely get the chance to see that. One thing you might not see unless you go out of your way is the Navy Pier right on Lake Michigan. Post race meal: If you've been eating healthy leading up to the race, the best place to reward yourself is Portillo's. This Illinois favorite has all the foods you've been drooling over like hot dogs, burgers and most importantly, milkshakes.

A co-production with Teatro Regio di Torino, the score is by Marco Tutino as well as its libretto written in collaboration with Fabio Ceresa. | san francisco | www.huffpost.com | HuffPost | San Francisco | Sean Martinfield | https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg?ops=1778_1000 | en-US | Soprano Sarah Shafer is currently singing the role of "Rosetta" in the world premiere of La Ciociara (Two Women) at San Francisco Opera. A co-production with Teatro Regio di Torino, the score is by Marco Tutino as well as its libretto written in collaboration with Fabio Ceresa. The story is based on the 1957 novel by Alberto Moravia. The popular film adaptation by writer and director Vittorio De Sica - released in the USA as Two Women in 1961 - starred twenty-six-year-old Sophia Loren as Rosetta's mother, Cisera. When she was awarded the Oscar for Best Actress - Hollywood was agog. It was the first time the Motion Picture Academy had embraced a foreign language performance. The film has long been available in VHS and DVD formats and recently premiered on Turner Classic Movies. The story has always been an opera waiting to happen. Anna Caterina Antonacci heads the cast as Cisera. In pursuit of her are baritone Mark Delavan as Giovanni and tenor Dimitri Pittas as Michele. Bass-baritone Christian Van Horn takes on the expanded role of the German officer, Fedor Von Bock. Last seen at SF Opera in 2013 as Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden - Sarah Shafer is the ideal fit for the innocent Rosetta. Says Sarah, "I think she is a much stronger character in this opera." Sarah Shafer and Anna Caterina Antonacci. Photo, Cory Weaver "For me, the role is more of an acting role than a singing role. Rosetta sings throughout, but it's in short spurts. There is no aria and she really doesn't have a full page of singing. She has comments and thoughts throughout - but most of what I do is about what's going on in her head. So, it's an acting role - visually and physically showing her transformation throughout the opera. That was the challenge for me, not doing her journey so much vocally but figuring out what to do physically. That's why it was so great to work with Anna Caterina. She is amazing - very subtle, very strong, a very still actress. She shows so much just through her posture, through her stance, with just one look - and holding that look for as long as she needs to. It's unlike anything I've done before. I learned a lot from working with her, trying to appear like her daughter, emulating and imitating a bit of what she was doing. I learned how little it takes for something to read onstage. You don't have to do very much. You think it. Staying still is actually the challenge." Prior to the opening night of La Ciociara, I watched several of her live performances on YouTube. Sarah's rendition of "Ain't it a pretty night?" from Floyd's Susannah is nothing short of luxurious. Another account of a young woman who is the victim of rape. Even through the video's limited fidelity, the aria sounds fresh and new, the lyrics shimmer. "I aim to leave this valley some day," says Susannah, "an' find out fer myself; to see all the tall buildin's and all the street lights." Sarah's graduate recital at Curtis begins with a set of Schubert songs, including Im Frühling (In the Springtime), Die junge Nonne (The Young Nun), and Du bist die Ruh (You are Rest). Sarah's rich tonality, exquisite phrasing, and dramatic sensibility shines through each. Turns out, it was Sarah's affinity with Schubert that got her admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music. LA CIOCIARA. San Francisco Opera. Photo, Cory Weaver "I never thought I'd get into Curtis. My dad is a pianist, he played for my audition. We did it on a whim. We thought, 'Why not? It's only three hours away from our house.' I sang Du bist die Ruh and Quella Fiamma - one of those twenty-four arias in the Italian anthology - and Jubal's Lyre by Handel. I was shocked to get into the finals. Mikael Eliason [Dean of Vocal Studies] told me later that it was the Du bist die Ruh that got me in. So, Schubert has had a very big place in my life right from the beginning." Sarah earned a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance in 2010 and her Master of Music in Opera in 2014. The honors were eight years in the making. Her final role at Curtis Opera Theatre was Sister Constance in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites. Following her graduation she became a member of Opera Philadelphia's Emerging Artists Program. "It's a support program for young singers. We got small roles and would cover roles in the season, sing recitals and different events throughout the city. We didn't have to be in Philadelphia all the time. It's not about classes. It was perfect for me. It gave me freedom to work and do the things I wanted to do. It also has affiliation and support from the opera company. I got to sing my first Verdi role, the Celestial Voice in Don Carlo. I was working with Eric Owens, Leah Crocetto, and Dmitri Pittas who is singing Michele here." Other recent appearances include Adina in The Elixir of Love at Memphis Opera; Papagena in The Magic Flute and Nuria in Osvaldo Golijov's Ainadamar at Opera Philadelphia. Following La Ciociara, Sarah begins a concert schedule that includes a July 4th appearance in Nashville where she will sing Samuel Barber's Knoxville, Summer of 1915 with the National Symphony. Then onto her second appearance with the Marlborough Festival where she will perform lieder by Robert Schumann and a new piece for cello and soprano by Kaija Saariaho. "At Marlborough, you never know how many performances you will have. It depends on the dynamics of the group and what's needed in the program. They make the programs based on what's ready. It's this interesting philosophy that nothing needs to be performed, but when things get to a place of performance - you can submit them for consideration for performance on the weekend. I may have one, I may have four. It just depends. The objective is not so much that it's ready to be performed, but that you're getting to know new and different repertoire at a very deep level with people who care about it as much as you do. So, its not a let's rehearse and play philosophy. It's actually a what's-in-the-score philosophy and what's-it-all-about philosophy." Dimitri Pittas, Sarah Shafer, Anna Caterina Antonacci. Photo, Cory Weaver In August, Sarah makes her second appearance at the Bard Music Festival (Annandale-on-Hudson, New York) performing works by what she calls an eclectic ton of different and very obscure composers. Come December 15, she will perform in a chamber opera by Efrain Amaya and Susana Amundaraín, Constellations - in the guise of St. Teresa of Avila. Not her first role as a nun. I asked Sarah how she would encourage younger singers who are perhaps bothered and bewildered by classical music as well as dazed by the rapid changes in the music industry at large. Where and how does the discussion start about considering a career in opera - especially American opera? "I think there are less and less young people going to concerts. I would encourage them to be open-minded, to explore, to be curious about what else is going on. It's great and comfortable to know something and be where you are, but you may like something else even better - something you've never heard, don't even know yet. That is the reason I do new operas and want to know what's next - something I didn't know before. That's the way you get better - how you figure out what you're actually good at.

A co-production with Teatro Regio di Torino, the score is by Marco Tutino as well as its libretto written in collaboration with Fabio Ceresa. The story is based on the 1957 novel by Alberto Moravia. The popular film adaptation by writer and director Vittorio De Sica - released in the USA as <em>Two Women</em> in 1961 - starred twenty-six-year-old Sophia Loren as Rosetta's mother, Cisera. When she was awarded the Oscar for Best Actress - Hollywood was agog. It was the first time the Motion Picture Academy had embraced a foreign language performance. The film has long been available in VHS and DVD formats and recently premiered on Turner Classic Movies. The story has always been an opera waiting to happen.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Anna Caterina Antonacci heads the cast as Cisera. In pursuit of her are baritone Mark Delavan as Giovanni and tenor Dimitri Pittas as Michele. Bass-baritone Christian Van Horn takes on the expanded role of the German officer, Fedor Von Bock. Last seen at SF Opera in 2013 as Mary Lennox in <em>The Secret Garden</em> - Sarah Shafer is the ideal fit for the innocent Rosetta. Says Sarah, "I think she is a much stronger character in this opera."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="1" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318556-6303758-SarahShaferandAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5be3781be4b0b83d9e85fbb1" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318556-6303758-SarahShaferandAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" role="link"><img alt="2015-06-26-1435318556-6303758-SarahShaferandAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" height="381" src="https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318556-6303758-SarahShaferandAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver-thumb.jpg" width="531"/></a><br/> Sarah Shafer and Anna Caterina Antonacci.

There is no aria and she really doesn't have a full page of singing. She has comments and thoughts throughout - but most of what I do is about what's going on in her head. So, it's an acting role - visually and physically showing her transformation throughout the opera. That was the challenge for me, not doing her journey so much vocally but figuring out what to do physically. That's why it was so great to work with Anna Caterina. She is amazing - very subtle, very strong, a very still actress. She shows so much just through her posture, through her stance, with just one look - and holding that look for as long as she needs to. It's unlike anything I've done before. I learned a lot from working with her, trying to appear like her daughter, emulating and imitating a bit of what she was doing. I learned how little it takes for something to read onstage. You don't have to do very much. You think it. Staying still is actually the challenge."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Prior to the opening night of <em>La Ciociara</em>, I watched several of her live performances on YouTube. Sarah's rendition of "Ain't it a pretty night?" from Floyd's <em>Susannah</em> is nothing short of luxurious. Another account of a young woman who is the victim of rape. Even through the video's limited fidelity, the aria sounds fresh and new, the lyrics shimmer. "I aim to leave this valley some day," says Susannah, "an' find out fer myself; to see all the tall buildin's and all the street lights." Sarah's graduate recital at Curtis begins with a set of Schubert songs, including <em>Im Frühling</em> (In the Springtime), <em>Die junge Nonne</em> (The Young Nun), and <em>Du bist die Ruh</em> (You are Rest). Sarah's rich tonality, exquisite phrasing, and dramatic sensibility shines through each. Turns out, it was Sarah's affinity with Schubert that got her admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="2" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318723-2166700-LACIOCIARA.SanFranciscoOpera.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5be3781be4b0b83d9e85fbb1" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318723-2166700-LACIOCIARA.SanFranciscoOpera.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" role="link"><img alt="2015-06-26-1435318723-2166700-LACIOCIARA.SanFranciscoOpera.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" height="386" src="https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318723-2166700-LACIOCIARA.SanFranciscoOpera.PhotoCoryWeaver-thumb.jpg" width="524"/></a><br/> LA CIOCIARA.

We thought, 'Why not? It's only three hours away from our house.' I sang Du bist die Ruh and Quella Fiamma - one of those twenty-four arias in the Italian anthology - and Jubal's Lyre by Handel. I was shocked to get into the finals. Mikael Eliason [Dean of Vocal Studies] told me later that it was the Du bist die Ruh that got me in. So, Schubert has had a very big place in my life right from the beginning."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Sarah earned a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance in 2010 and her Master of Music in Opera in 2014. The honors were eight years in the making. Her final role at Curtis Opera Theatre was Sister Constance in Poulenc's <em>Dialogues des Carmélites</em>. Following her graduation she became a member of Opera Philadelphia's Emerging Artists Program. </p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>"It's a support program for young singers. We got small roles and would cover roles in the season, sing recitals and different events throughout the city. We didn't have to be in Philadelphia all the time. It's not about classes. It was perfect for me. It gave me freedom to work and do the things I wanted to do. It also has affiliation and support from the opera company. I got to sing my first Verdi role, the Celestial Voice in Don Carlo. I was working with Eric Owens, Leah Crocetto, and Dmitri Pittas who is singing Michele here."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Other recent appearances include Adina in <em>The Elixir of Love</em> at Memphis Opera; Papagena in <em>The Magic Flute</em> and Nuria in Osvaldo Golijov's <em>Ainadamar</em> at Opera Philadelphia. Following <em>La Ciociara</em>, Sarah begins a concert schedule that includes a July 4th appearance in Nashville where she will sing Samuel Barber's <em>Knoxville, Summer of 1915</em> with the National Symphony. Then onto her second appearance with the Marlborough Festival where she will perform lieder by Robert Schumann and a new piece for cello and soprano by Kaija Saariaho.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>"At Marlborough, you never know how many performances you will have. It depends on the dynamics of the group and what's needed in the program. They make the programs based on what's ready. It's this interesting philosophy that nothing needs to be performed, but when things get to a place of performance - you can submit them for consideration for performance on the weekend. I may have one, I may have four. It just depends. The objective is not so much that it's ready to be performed, but that you're getting to know new and different repertoire at a very deep level with people who care about it as much as you do. So, its not a let's rehearse and play philosophy. It's actually a what's-in-the-score philosophy and what's-it-all-about philosophy."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="3" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318928-3559101-DimitriPittasSarahShaferAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5be3781be4b0b83d9e85fbb1" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318928-3559101-DimitriPittasSarahShaferAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" role="link"><img alt="2015-06-26-1435318928-3559101-DimitriPittasSarahShaferAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" height="386" src="https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318928-3559101-DimitriPittasSarahShaferAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver-thumb.jpg" width="521"/></a><br/> Dimitri Pittas, Sarah Shafer, Anna Caterina Antonacci.

In August, Republicans filed recall petitions against three senators ― two Democrats and an independent who caucuses with them. None of the three are accused of malfeasance or wrongdoing, which is in any case not required by state law. Michael Roberson, the Republicans’ Senate leader, has simply called for their ouster on the grounds that Democrats generally have been “radicalized.” Roberson has also not hid his party’s real agenda, telling voters last month that Republicans would “be back in the majority almost immediately” and that they would remain in power until after the 2020 census, when new electoral maps will be drawn, according to the Nevada Independent. On Monday, supporters of the Republican effort submitted more than 17,000 signatures calling for a recall of state Sen. Joyce Woodhouse (D). Election officials will review and verify those signatures, but only 14,412 need to be valid to force a recall vote. Nevada law provides for a recall election if a petition gathers the signatures of 25 percent of the people who voted in the earlier election won by the lawmaker. Petitions with sufficient signatures are expected to be filed against the other two senators ― Democrat Nicole Cannizzaro and independent Patricia Farley ― in early November, the Independent reports. Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) told the news outlet that he didn’t think there was a “legitimate reason” for the recalls and said they would set a “dangerous precedent.” “It’s an escalation of tactics, and I said, I hate to see that happen,” Sandoval said. “It’s never happened before, but it probably will likely become another typical arrow in the quiver for both parties. I hope it doesn’t, but again, if it’s successful, and the voters do recall these individuals, I can’t see why all of them wouldn’t use it going forward.” The state has seen 150 recall efforts since 1993, the last year a legislator was successfully ousted, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It’s unclear who is funding the latest campaign, and those pushing it don’t have to disclose their identity until four days before the special election, if one is called. Woodhouse, who last year won re-election to a third term by just 469 votes, may have been targeted because of her support for sanctuary city legislation, according to the Nevada Independent. “This politically motivated recall effort has been an affront to voters and a blatant abuse of the process by individuals who are unfortunately still bitter about the results of the last election,” Woodhouse said in a statement. The state senator vowed to monitor the signature verification process and to defend her “record of accomplishment.” Democrats have launched an effort to reach out to people who signed the petitions to ask them if they understand the implications of recall elections and if that kind of electoral upset is what they really want. Republicans are “wasting time and taxpayer dollars on these unnecessary recall efforts,” said Jessica Post, executive director of the national Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, in a statement on Monday. Post’s organization helps elect Democrats to state legislatures. A federal lawsuit brought on behalf of voters living in the three senatorial districts argues that the recall effort violates the Voting Rights Act as well as the First and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. In Nevada, people can force a recall election for “no reason other than dissatisfaction with the outcome of the prior election,” the lawsuit says. The current effort places an undue burden on voters in the three relevant districts, the suit contends. “Nevada voters are perpetually at risk of: (i) having their casted votes nullified by an unjustified recall; (ii) bearing the undue burden of having to vote again and again to ensure that their elected officials can serve out full terms; and (iii) having the attention, time, and resources of their elected officials diverted to defending against recalls rather than governing and making policy,” the suit contends. The lawyers behind the legal challenge include Washington attorney Marc Elias, who served as general counsel to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, which is led by J. Christian Adams, a member of President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission, filed a motion to intervene in the case on Monday. In a statement, the foundation argued that the plaintiffs were using a flawed interpretation of the Voting Rights Act and trying to impose an unconstitutional restriction on the state of Nevada. The statement also noted Elias’ involvement. | <div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Nevada <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/republican-party">Republicans</a> took a significant step Monday in their plan to take back control of the state Legislature through a series of recall elections ― an effort even the state’s GOP governor has criticized as “dangerous.”</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/democratic-party">Democrats</a> <a class="js-entry-link cet-external-link" data-vars-item-name="won control" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="0" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/democratic-party-set-to-regain-control-of-state-assembly-senate/" data-vars-target-content-type="url" data-vars-type="web_external_link" data-vars-unit-name="59f8b778e4b046017faf3f25" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/democratic-party-set-to-regain-control-of-state-assembly-senate/" role="link" target="_blank">won control</a> of both houses of the Nevada Legislature last November and currently hold a slim 11-9 majority in the state Senate.

Washington | https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg?ops=1778_1000 | en-US | Customer Service Person Shopper One Shopper Two Christmas Season 2016. An afternoon in late December, 2016 at a crowded mall in suburban New Jersey. Shoppers wait in line at the Customer Service Desk, next to a Santa Claus booth with long lines of children. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: May I help you? SHOPPER ONE: Yes, please. I have a question. Do you know anything about your Santa Claus? CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: Santa Claus? SHOPPER ONE: Right over there. I can't see through the door. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: You have to pay and get a ticket first. SHOPPER TWO: The line is over there. SHOPPER ONE: I know. I don't really want to pay for my godson to see him if he's white. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: What? SHOPPER ONE: I was asking because, in all of my forty five years shopping in this mall I've never seen a Black Santa, or a Santa of any color. SHOPPER TWO: I never thought about that. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: Neither have I, but why does it matter if he's white? SHOPPER ONE: Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it matters if he's not white. SHOPPER TWO: Why should that matter? SHOPPER ONE: Is there some sort of unofficial Santa Claus policy? CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I don't think so. But the mall isn't in charge of Santa Claus. SHOPPER ONE: I guess that's a good thing. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I was told the whole operation is a Dreamworks contract. SHOPPER ONE: OK. But a contract with whom or what? The mall, right? SHOPPER TWO: You don't want a white Santa Claus? SHOPPER ONE: I think it's good to have different people playing Santa Claus. Lots of different people. I don't want to have to go to West Philly or Chinatown to take my godson to see a Santa Claus of color. SHOPPER TWO: Why not? SHOPPER ONE: Why should I? If I have to I will. I just don't understand why this mall has never had a Black Santa. Or a Santa in a wheelchair....or lots of other sorts of Santas and helpers. SHOPPER TWO: That Santa does have Black helpers. SHOPPER ONE: Of course he does. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I haven't been inside the booth, but I know Santa isn't in a wheelchair. SHOPPER TWO: You want Santa in a wheelchair? SHOPPER ONE: No. I don't mean---- SHOPPER TWO: Santa should be the same everywhere. SHOPPER ONE: Maybe. SHOPPER TWO: What's wrong with the Santa in there? I took my son last week. He loved it. I think he's a good Santa. SHOPPER ONE: Why is the Default Santa white? SHOPPER TWO: What's a Default Santa? SHOPPER ONE: If Santa should be the same everywhere, why can't the Default Santa be Chinese? Maybe Santa should be Chinese everywhere. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I don't know what you mean by a 'Default Santa'. I thought you were looking for a Black Santa, not a Chinese Santa. SHOPPER ONE: I was. I am. SHOPPER TWO: You just said you wanted a Chinese Santa. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I can ask someone from the mall to contact you regarding your question. Or you can write a comment slip. The CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON hands SHOPPER ONE a comment slip with a pencil. SHOPPER ONE: Good Lord. I'm tight on time. I'll leave my comments on the mall's website. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I'm sorry I couldn't help you. SHOPPER TWO: At least you can go to a Default Santa in Chinatown. Right? Good luck. SHOPPER ONE begins to walk away, then turns back. SHOPPER ONE: Why can't the mall Santa be Black one year, and Chinese the next? Why am I searching for a hyphenated Santa? Why can't I go to Chinatown to see a Chinese Santa, and then come to my local mall and see a Santa who is Chinese? Would that be impossible? Why does Default Santa always have to be white? Why does Santa have to be either-or? Why can't Santa be both-and? Why can't the mall Santa be Black one year, and Chinese the next? CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON and SHOPPER TWO stare at SHOPPER ONE. SHOPPER ONE: OK. OK. You know what? Merry Christmas. And SHOPPER ONE leaves without purchasing a Santa Claus ticket for her godson.

My daughter makes me a better person simply by being herself. | raising kids,Kids,Parenting ,Children,Parents,Wisdom,Happiness | www.huffpost.com | HuffPost | Parenting | Jenn Lyons | https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg?ops=1778_1000 | en-US | Each day, we parents carry the responsibility of guiding our children along the best possible path, giving them every opportunity and imparting as much wisdom as possible so they have a solid sense of self and are able to make good decisions. The crazy thing about being a parent is that you think your job is the guide, the caretaker, the planner, the fixer, and even the entertainer, but along the way you revisit and relearn lessons that make you stronger and wiser. I think through each detail of my daughter's life, to the point of obsessing, as I know many parents do. She will encounter so many situations that will be out of my control, but at age five, many of her experiences are still under my careful watch. However, in the mist of the whirlwind of parenting, I've found that while I help guide her, she also guides me in reflecting lessons and values that are key to who I am. I recently read this guidance in her eyes -- lit up with excitement and filled with genuine enthusiasm for the joy of the moment -- when we had planned a fun day together. Her reaction reminded me we should approach each day as an adventure in which the outcome isn't always certain. My daughter makes me a better person simply by being herself. I am a better person because she... Lives in the moment Kids are a natural study in mindfulness. They note small things along their daily journey and are never in a rush. Anyone who has tried to leave the house to make a timely appointment with a 5-year-old knows it is never a straight forward or easy task. Using phrases such as "we're late" or "we need to hurry" only guarantees an instant slowdown. For a while, I thought she was being intentionally difficult because she could sense I was moving from stressed to full-on panic. But now I see that, to her, nothing earth-shattering will happen if it takes an extra 30 seconds to notice the rain has let up or to give an extra-long hug. And, without exception, the day starts infinitely better with an extra 30 seconds of embrace, rather than a quick peck. In her unhurried state, she also notices little things that make her smile: a lady bug on the windowsill; a kite flying overhead; or a cloud that looks like a puppy. When I slow down and assume a more natural, unrushed pace I see the same: the glinting highlights in her hair and the clouds reflecting in her cool blue eyes. I try to remember that nothing earth-shattering will happen if I take a few seconds to slow down during the day, and without exception, the day is infinitely better when I do. Doesn't take life too seriously When she's carrying a plastic plate filled with toy food and it spills, she pauses and bursts into hysterical laughter. If she trips over something and takes a small tumble, she cracks up. Little mishaps are not stressors to her, they are comedic fodder. Likewise, when something falls over or spills, it used to register to me as additional stress, yet another thing to clean up or fix to restore order. Now when something goes haywire, her instinctual laughter reminds me to see the comedy in the moment, turning potential stress to comedic relief. Holds me to my word Kids have a wonderful knack of being completely literal and forgetting nothing. If they ask to go to the park and you respond "maybe" -- even though it was meant as a "probably not" -- you can be sure they will revisit the request in short order, believing the possibility still exists. Many times I have heard the logical argument of "but you said 'maybe' which means we might 'go!'" Raising a child has required me to be much more thoughtful of what I say and what I commit to because she doesn't miss one beat. If I don't follow through on a commitment, she vocalizes her disappointment that others may feel but not say, reminding me how important it is to be fair about what I commit to but then stay true to my word and follow through. Reminds me of the Golden Rule Perhaps the hardest lesson my daughter encounters on a daily basis is learning to treat other kids the way she would want them to treat her. She is heartbroken when she feels left out, yet I've seen her leave others out when she is involved with a group activity. We talk almost daily about the importance of including the kids who are left out, the way she wants to be included when she is the one on the outside. As a child I took the Golden Rule for granted, something to be recited without much thought. As a parent, revisiting the Golden Rule in daily interactions reminds me to acknowledge each person I encounter the way we want to be acknowledged. In difficult situations, I am reminded to act with an understanding and respect I would like others to show me under similar circumstances. There are a million and one ways our children influence and shape who we are. These four have had a significant shift on my daily perspective and help ground my thoughts and decisions. For this, I consider my daughter to be one of my greatest guides. | <div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Each day, we parents carry the responsibility of guiding our children along the best possible path, giving them every opportunity and imparting as much wisdom as possible so they have a solid sense of self and are able to make good decisions.

Now when something goes haywire, her instinctual laughter reminds me to see the comedy in the moment, turning potential stress to comedic relief. </p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><strong>Holds me to my word </strong><br/> Kids have a wonderful knack of being completely literal and forgetting nothing. If they ask to go to the park and you respond "maybe" -- even though it was meant as a "probably not" -- you can be sure they will revisit the request in short order, believing the possibility still exists. Many times I have heard the logical argument of "but you said 'maybe' which means we might 'go!'"</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Raising a child has required me to be much more thoughtful of what I say and what I commit to because she doesn't miss one beat. If I don't follow through on a commitment, she vocalizes her disappointment that others may feel but not say, reminding me how important it is to be fair about what I commit to but then stay true to my word and follow through.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><strong>Reminds me of the Golden Rule</strong><br/> Perhaps the hardest lesson my daughter encounters on a daily basis is learning to treat other kids the way she would want them to treat her. She is heartbroken when she feels left out, yet I've seen her leave others out when she is involved with a group activity. We talk almost daily about the importance of including the kids who are left out, the way she wants to be included when she is the one on the outside. </p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>As a child I took the Golden Rule for granted, something to be recited without much thought. As a parent, revisiting the Golden Rule in daily interactions reminds me to acknowledge each person I encounter the way we want to be acknowledged. In difficult situations, I am reminded to act with an understanding and respect I would like others to show me under similar circumstances. </p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>There are a million and one ways our children influence and shape who we are. These four have had a significant shift on my daily perspective and help ground my thoughts and decisions. For this, I consider my daughter to be one of my greatest guides.</p></div> | 08/01/16 | 08/02/17 | 08/01/16 | 7cdb308c-37b6-5022-aac2-08b1c1400eec | 06/05/22 |
