Juan Jose Figueroa Jr. appears at the Boulder County Justice Center in Boulder during opening statements in his attempted-murder trial on March 12, 2019. |
A Boulder County jury on Friday afternoon convicted Juan Jose Figueroa Jr. of sexual assault, felony assault and attempted murder in a 2017 sexual assault case. |
The jury acquitted Figueroa, 29, of one count of sexual assault, but convicted him on two others, as well as two counts of felony first-degree assault and one count of attempted second-degree murder. |
Boulder District Judge Judith LaBuda revoked Figueroa’s bond following the verdict and ordered that he undergo a pre-sentencing evaluation. He is scheduled to be sentenced May 31. The jury, made up of six women and six men, deliberated for nearly 12 hours between Thursday and Friday before reaching the verdicts. |
Longmont police also have identified Figueroa as the suspect in the case of missing Longmont resident Rita Gutierrez-Garcia, who vanished in March 2018 and is now presumed dead. He has not been charged in that case. |

Exchange Place, a mid-19th century living history farm in Kingsport, has given rise to all manner of hands-on learning opportunities for the region’s historically-enthused youth. Students in the Junior Apprentice program, led by Exchange Place volunteer Heather Gilreath, have been carefully selected for their interest ... |
Society members, clad in period clothing, offer hearthside demonstrations during Exchange Place’s four seasonal festivals held throughout the year. |
Gilreath said that to prepare for the festivals, the apprentices also attend private workshops throughout the year. The more the apprentices cook, the more privileges they receive in the kitchen. “I have three high school juniors and seniors who have been cooking with me several years,” she explained. |
The fireside expositions allow the Junior Apprentices and, likewise, the viewing public to get a “glimpse of what it was like to do the cooking” despite socioeconomic status (whether a slave or a plantation mistress) in this area during the time period of 1830-1860. “[The society] is unique because it really and truly ... |

The American College of Physicians (ACP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) have published an evidence-based clinical practice guideline on the appropriate systolic blood pressure target for adults 60 years old and older with hypertension. The joint guideline was published in January 17th 2017 issue o... |
A release from ACP explains that hypertension, an elevation of systemic arterial blood pressure, is one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States. About 65 percent of adults in the U.S. over the age of 60 have hypertension, and the disease affects about 29 percent of all adults in the nation. |
ACP and AAFP are two of the largest physician organizations in the U.S. representing primary care doctors. Their combined 272,900 members, including internal medicine physicians (internists) and family physicians, treat the majority of patients in the U.S. with hypertension. |
ACP and AAFP recommend that physicians initiate treatment in adults aged 60 years old and older with persistent systolic blood pressure at or above 150 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) to achieve a target systolic blood pressure of less than 150 mm Hg to reduce the risk of mortality, stroke, and cardiac events. |
The guideline notes that some patients may have falsely elevated readings in clinical settings (“white coat hypertension”). Therefore, it is important for physicians to ensure that they are accurately measuring blood pressure before initiating or changing treatment for hypertension. |
– ACP and AAFP recommend that physicians consider initiating or intensifying drug therapy in adults aged 60 years old and older with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack to achieve a target systolic blood pressure of less than 140 mm Hg to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke. |
– ACP and AAFP recommend that physicians consider initiating or intensifying pharmacological treatment in some adults aged 60 years old and older at high cardiovascular risk, based on individualized assessment, to achieve a target systolic blood pressure of less than 140 mm Hg to reduce the risk of stroke or cardiac ev... |
Increased cardiovascular risk includes all people with known vascular disease and among others, is defined as most patients with diabetes, individuals with chronic kidney disease with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <45 mL/min/per 1.73 m2, metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and d... |
When prescribing drug therapy, physicians should select generic formulations over brand name drugs, which have similar efficacy, reduced cost, and therefore better adherence, ACP and AAFP advise. |
Because of insufficient evidence, ACP and AAFP did not make any recommendations about diastolic blood pressure targets. |
New York: For Sean Hannity, the “witch hunt” was finally over. Rachel Maddow considered it the start of something. |
Fox News Channel’s Hannity, a close Trump ally, focused on reports there will be no additional indictments stemming from Mueller’s probe. |
While Hannity’s Fox colleague Tucker Carlson suggested it was a night Americans “should be celebrating the great news” that no crime was apparently found regarding collusion, Hannity said citizens should be outraged by the amount of time and money spent on the case. He promised a reckoning in the coming weeks of politi... |

It wasn’t until 16 minutes into her program that she discussed the reports that there will be no new indictments stemming from the probe. |
Still, some Fox personalities, including Chris Wallace and Harris Faulkner, had to caution guests that Mueller’s report hadn’t been seen yet. “To say that somehow this clears the president seems like the height of rushing to judgement,” Wallace said. He dismissed the idea that those prosecuted had been charged of proce... |
The prosecution for Israel’s military court refused an appeal on behalf of the family of imprisoned Palestinian journalist Muhammad al-Qiq to allow them to visit him at an Israeli hospital as al-Qiq’s hunger strike reached 90 days. |
Therefore, it said, al-Qiq’s relatives would not be granted permits to leave the occupied West Bank and enter Israel to see the hunger-striking journalist at the HaEmek hospital in Afula, where he has been detained for weeks since his health dramatically deteriorated. |
The decision comes after the Israeli High Court had ruled on Feb. 2 in favor of letting al-Qiq’s family visit him. The director of HaEmek hospital also supported and recommended allowing family visits. |
Another lawyer for the Committee of Prisoners’ Affairs, Hanan al-Khatib, said last week that he had started “shouting loudly, and screaming: ‘Let me hear my son’s voice, please God,’” from his hospital bed. |
The office of Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah issued a statement on Monday condemning al-Qiq’s continued detention after 90 days on hunger strike. |
“Al-Qiq’s arrest and subsequent detention without trial only highlight Israel’s draconian measures against Palestinians,” Jamal Dajani, director of Strategic Communications and Media for the Prime Minister’s office, said. |
The 33-year-old father of two went on hunger strike in late November to protest his administrative detention — internment without trial or charge. |
Israel has negotiated in cases of hunger strikes launched by Palestinian prisoners in the past out of fear that prisoners’ death could spark unrest in the occupied Palestinian territory, but the territory has already seen months of unrest. |
Al-Qiq has vowed to maintain his strike until transferred a Palestinian hospital in Ramallah and released from Israeli custody, requests that were most recently denied by Israel’s High Court of Justice last week. |

THIS guy is the controversial alt-right hero the left loves to hate. But all the outrage against him is playing right into his hands. |
News.com.au reporter Matt Young questions Milo Yiannopolous about his comments toward Karl Stefanovic, Waleed Aly and Jessica Rowe. |
THE left say a lot about Milo Yiannopoulos. They say he is ultraconservative even though he is outlandish, Gucci-clad and gay. They say he is racist even though he is married to a black man. And they say he is anti-Semitic even though he is half-Jewish. |
But most of all they say that he shouldn’t be given a platform to spout his fascist hate-speech. And that is all well and good. The only real question is why they keep giving it to him. |
Milo may well be a child of the alt-right, but the people who made him an international star are the alt-left. Probably never in human history has a political figure owed so much to his enemies. |
And the truly staggering thing is that the left still hasn’t realised how much they are helping him. In fact even as he arrives in Australia, with his usual bluster and braggadocio, they are doing it still. |
Whatever Milo’s political views, one transcends all others. He casts himself primarily as a defender of free speech, which he sees as being under threat from the juvenile left. |
And so what does the left do in response to this? It tries to ban him from talking. |
This has already happened at various universities in the US, where crazed protests and campus bans have made Milo a martyr. Only in student politics could mass cries of victimhood turn an oppressor into a victim. |
Yet now in Australia, professional politicians who are old enough to know better are playing right into his hands once more. |
Milo’s entire strategy, and indeed his entire appeal, is to act the role of an agent provocateur who has to constantly say outrageous things in order to preserve the right to say outrageous things. He has even publicly said as much, not least of all to me when we interviewed him on Studio 10. |
And what do all our political geniuses on the left do? They seek to ban him from saying outrageous things. |
The newly elected Labor Premier of WA Mark McGowan banned him from speaking at any government sites and now the Greens leader Richard Di Natale has requested that he be banned from speaking at Parliament House. |
All you need to know about the wisdom of this move is that I — a hopeless news and political junkie — didn’t even know Milo was scheduled to speak at Parliament House until Richard Di Natale told me so. Now I’ll definitely be watching. |
Frankly, it is a disappointing stunt from Di Natale, an otherwise intelligent, decent and reasonable man who just had the misfortune of landing in the wrong party. McGowan’s lapse we’ll just blame on inexperience. |
Or perhaps it is the new so-called “virtue signalling” virus that has infected the left, a condition in which it is considered better to cause harm but look good while doing it than it is to achieve a good result but without the retweets. |
Because it is obvious to a blind monkey that the only person who benefits from a ban on Milo Yiannopoulos is Milo Yiannopoulos himself. He loves being banned. His whole business model is based on it. |
Indeed, the very move by the Greens to ban him from Parliament House came just after Milo himself was peddling the story that he had been banned from various TV shows, including Studio 10. This should have been a warning in 20-foot tall letters of fire that this was all part of his publicity strategy but incredibly the... |
For the record, it wouldn’t have taken much research to figure out how credible the claim of a Studio 10 ban was: WE HAVE ALREADY HAD HIM ON THE SHOW! IT WAS ON LIVE NATIONAL TELEVISION!!! |
Moreover, some in the left seem to have realised what is at play and yet still play into his hands. One prolific tweeter wrote an open letter to the Australian media saying that nobody cares about Milo Yiannopoulos, which got 4000 likes and retweets, and to which he then replied to himself with another tweet about Milo... |
Indeed, perhaps the most ironic thing about Milo Yiannopoulos is that most people had never heard of him at all until he was banned from Twitter. Now you punch in his name on Google and the first thing that comes up is an ad for tickets to his show. That’s a big win for the “Don’t be evil” cool guys of Silicon Valley r... |
And so if you want to help Milo Yiannopoulos continue his juggernaut to the heights of popularity keep talking about how you don’t want to talk about him, or better still call for him to be banned for saying all the things you say he said while you’re calling for him to be banned. |
I mean once you ban something, it’s sure to stop it from becoming famous right? Just ask Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler and Henry Miller. |
Honestly, how dumb have we become? If we keep going at this rate, the only person who’ll be out of a job is Milo’s publicist. |
An internal probe finds the PC maker fudged the timing of expenses and payments on its balance sheets. So where does it go from here? |
