# Emmy Nominations 2019: 'Game of Thrones' Breaks 'NYPD Blue' Record with 32 Nominations

The 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations have been announced, and as always when it comes to this notoriously finnicky organization, it's a mixed bag.

The big news is that, as expected, the final season of Game of Thrones was recognized across the board.

In fact, Thrones landed a whopping 32 nominations, breaking a long standing record set by NYPD Blue for the most nominations for a single season.

Emmy voters really threw it around this final go-around, giving Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke Best Actor and Actress nominations and filling out the supporting categories with the likes of Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Gwendoline Christie, and even Lena Headey despite the fact that Cersei just sat in a castle the whole season and had maybe 20 minutes of screentime.

Offscreen, Thrones was also nominated for Best Directing in a Drama Series for the Battle of Winterfell episode "The Long Night", the aftermath episode "The Last of the Starks", and the series finale "The Iron Throne."

The series finale—which was written and directed by showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss—was also nominated for Best Writing

HBO—which, it should be noted, has the most voters in the TV Academy which in turn feeds into their dominance—shined bright even beyond Thrones.

After losing out on total noms to Netflix last year, HBO was back on top with 137 total nominations this year.

The excellent, critically acclaimed Barry collected 17 total Emmy nominations.

Bill Hader won Best Actor in a Comedy and Henry Winkler won Best Supporting Actor last year, but in addition to nominations for the two this year, actors Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, and Stephen Root were all nominated in the Supporting category.

Hader is also nominated this year for writing and directing the tour-de-force episode "ronny/lily" (read my lengthy chat with Hader on bringing that episode to life here).

Outside of the Home Box Office, the acclaimed PopTV series Schitt's Creek finally picked up deserving nominations for Best Comedy Series and Actor and Actress for Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy, while The Good Place also picked up its first-ever Best Comedy Series nomination.

And Fleabag Season 2—one of the best pieces of storytelling in 2019, across all mediums—scored a number of nominations including Best Actress in a Comedy for Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

But I have to say, the total snubbing of Andrew Scott as The (Hot) Priest is completely uncalled for and I will be writing several strongly worded letters.

On the limited series/TV movie side of things, two of the most critically acclaimed pieces of television scored big: HBO's Chernobyl and Netflix's When They See Us.

The latter fared particularly well in the acting categories, with Jharrel Jerome picking up a Lead Actor nominations alongside Chernobyl's Jared Harris.

The biggest snubs in my book? The Haunting of Hill House for Limited Series and acting and Late Night with Seth Meyers for Outstanding Variety Talk Series—although I was heartened by the writing noms for both Late Night and Documentary Now!

The 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards will air live on FOX on September 22nd.

The divisive final season of "Game of Thrones" smashed the record for most Primetime Emmy nominations by a drama series in a single year, earning a whopping 32 nods Tuesday.

HBO's fantasy epic enraged fans with its bumpy conclusion but still trounced the competition to strengthen its iron grip on the small-screen equivalent of the Oscars.

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" -- Amazon's story of a 1950s housewife-turned-stand up comic -- was a distant second on 20 nominations.

"Thrones" is the most decorated fictional show in the awards' seven-decade history, and now has 161 nominations overall -- including 47 wins.

ALSO READ: The science of Game of Thrones

"For those who will be adding 2019 to their long list of nominations and or wins from other years -- it never gets old!" said Television Academy chairman and CEO Frank Scherma.

The show about families vying for the Iron Throne broke a 25-year nominations record for a drama series in a single year previously held by "NYPD Blue," which earned 27 nods in 1994.

Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington were recognised in the lead acting categories, while eight other "Thrones" cast members swept the board in the supporting and guest acting categories.

The shortened eighth and last season also won a slew of technical awards.

"Thrones" capitalised on a threadbare year for drama, with several big hitters such as "The Handmaid's Tale" missing from the main categories.

The next highest-placed drama -- AMC's "Breaking Bad" prequel "Better Call Saul" -- managed just eight nominations.

HBO's acclaimed limited series "Chernobyl" placed third overall this year with 19 nominations, ahead of perennial Emmys powerhouse "Saturday Night Live" on 18.

Dark hitman comedy "Barry," also from HBO, was joint fifth overall on 17 nods, tied with FX mini-series "Fosse/Verdon."

This year's nominations saw HBO reclaim its title for most-nominated network from web streaming giant Netflix, which last year had ended its 17-year winning streak.

HBO claimed 137 nods to Netflix's 117 -- a record for each, meaning the pair tighten their joint stranglehold on the prestigious awards.

Netflix's "When They See Us," the true story of five men wrongly accused of raping a Central Park jogger, earned 16 nominations including eight acting nods.

"Thank you to the real men for inviting me to tell their story...

Love you, brothers," tweeted series creator Ava DuVernay.

Amazon Prime enjoyed a stellar year, more than doubling its haul to reach 47 nods, just behind NBC with 58.

As well as "Maisel," dark British comedy "Fleabag" performed well for Amazon, with five of its actresses receiving nominations including lead Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Waller-Bridge, who is currently rewriting the upcoming 25th James Bond film, also received a writing nomination for "Fleabag."

"CRYING AND DYING ... I cannot speak!!!!!!

Our whole team is in bits," tweeted Sian Clifford, who earned supporting actress recognition.

But there was disappointment for the final season of CBS ratings smash "Big Bang Theory," which failed to register in any main categories.

A-listers Julia Roberts and Jim Carrey were shunned by voters, who ignored their respective performances in Amazon's "Homecoming" and Showtime's "Kidding."

While Netflix/BBC thriller "Bodyguard" earned a drama series nod, its lead actor Richard Madden was a surprising omission.

The Emmys recognises shows that were on in the 12 months to May 31.

That meant several voters' favorites were absent from main categories this year, including Hulu's new season of "The Handmaid's Tale."

The former drama series winner still managed to pick up 11 nominations in technical categories, for episodes submitted from the tail-end of its previous season.

"Big Little Lies" and "Stranger Things" also just missed the cut-off this time around.

The Television Academy's 24,000 members sifted through a record number of entries for this year's Emmys.

The nominations were announced in a livestreamed presentation from Los Angeles hosted by "The Good Place" actress D'Arcy Carden and "The Masked Singer" panelist Ken Jeong.

Final-round voting will now begin to pick winners who will be revealed at a glitzy Los Angeles show on September 22.

(meta data) TITLE: Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten (undated)Photo from Yukon Archives

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten was born in Litchfield, New Hampshire and labored on a farm during his early years.

At the tender age of 13, he spirited off to the 1849 California Gold rush with family, who had previously uprooted from New Hampshire to Illinois.

Jack McQuesten was a big, stout man who stood well over six feet tall and weighed, even in his youth, more than 200 pounds.

By 1858, he had entered British Columbia (Canada), and by 1863, during the American Civil War, McQuesten was mining on the Fraser River.

In 1871, he was one of the vigorous, young Americans who were prospecting in more remote locations in northern Canada.

In addition to McQuesten, the group included James McKnipp, Alfred H. Mayo, Arthur Harper, Frederick Hart, and Andrus Kansellar.

In 1872, Harper, McQuesten, and Mayo, along with Hart, were trading and prospecting in the Omineca region of western Canada.

McQuesten had already worked as a prospector, a trapper, a trader at Fort Gary, Manitoba, and as a Hudson's Bay Trading Company voyageur.

McQuesten and companions traveled to remote Yukon Territory in the summer of 1873, and by September of that year, had arrived at a former Hudson's Bay Trading Company post on the Yukon River in present day Alaska.

In 1847, The Hudson's Bay Trading Company (Hudson's Bay) had established the trading post 'Fort Yukon' in Russian America territory at the confluence of the Porcupine and Yukon Rivers without significant protest from Russian officials-partly because it was unclear whether or not the post was in Canada or Russian America.

But once the United States acquired ownership of Alaska through the 1867 purchase from the Russian Tsar Alexander II, Hudson's Bay was forced by U.S. authorities to leave in 1869, when an American flag was raised.

The Alaska Commercial Company assumed ownership of Hudson's Bay expropriated property, which also became the pattern of ownership of trading posts all over the formerly Russian held territory of Alaska.

Early traders, including McQuesten, Harper, and Mayo, saw an opportunity to fill the vacuum left by Hudson's Bay departure.

These dominantly U.S. citizens would begin to dominate the vast Yukon River basin on both sides of the International Boundary.

In 1874, after journeying downriver with Arthur Harper and Alfred Mayo to St. Michael at the mouth of the Yukon River, McQuesten traveled back up the Yukon River to establish a trading post that he named Fort Reliance on the east bank of the Yukon, just 13 km (7 miles) downstream of the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers.

Fort Reliance remained the center of the fur trade and mining activities in the upper Yukon River for more than a decade, finally yielding that position to a new post established in 1886 near Stewart River further upstream.

Logs from Fort Reliance were subsequently shipped upriver to the new Stewart River post, while others were burned by river steamers, so little remained of Fort Reliance after 1886.

A new trading post at the Stewart River was established by one of McQuesten's partners, Al Mayo.

That the old Fort Reliance was so close to what became the great Klondike gold district has intrigued historians since.

Fort Reliance served as a topographic compass for the region, which still exists today.

For example, the mouth of the Fortymile River and settlement is 40 miles downstream from Fort Reliance.

The mouth of the Sixtymile River is 60 miles upstream from Fort Reliance.

Arthur Harper and Al Mayo had joined with Jack McQuesten in the establishment of Fort Reliance in 1875.

McQuesten operated the post but did ask Harper and Mayo for help from time to time.

When McQuesten was away securing supplies out of St. Michael during 1882, Harper and Mayo took over the management of the post.

It was during this time period when an unfortunate incident took place at Fort Reliance.

Harper and Mayo were having trouble with a local group of Klondike area Natives, who had become agitated with the rapidly expanding presence of traders and prospectors caused by the 1880-1881 opening of the Chilkoot Pass by Alaskan coastal Indians.

Harper and Mayo decided to temporarily leave the post until attitudes and relations improved.

The traders concealed, as best as they could, all of the valuable supplies, which included an arsenic-grease mixture used to kill mice and other vermin.

The Natives, not being able to trade for supplies, looted the post.

They found the arsenic vermin poison and mixed it with flour as a food supplement.

Two elderly woman were poisoned and died and a young girl was permanently blinded.

When McQuesten returned from St. Michael, he knew, as the main owner/operator of Fort Reliance, that he faced a crisis and needed to repair relations with the Upper Yukon River native community as soon as possible.

He did not blame Harper of Mayo for any malfeasance, both of whom felt very bad about the situation.

After a sensitive pow-wow, complete with sincere apologies, McQuesten billed the Natives for the stolen goods, but asked nothing for the damage to the facility.

The Indians agreed to pay for the goods.

The Indians did not blame the traders for the fatalities of the two elderly women, but asked for compensation for the blinding of the child.

According to the Dominion of Canada land surveyor, William Olgilvie,

"...ten skins, the current terms of the country (about six dollars) was demanded for compensation of the injuries to the child.

This amount was cheerfully paid (by McQuesten) and some presents given besides and the prompt payment and kindliness re-

After Fort Reliance was established, McQuesten went back to Fort Yukon in 1875, and then, accompanied by his partners Harper and Mayo, moved further downriver to Tanana, near the village of Nuklukayet.

In 1878, McQuesten met and married Satejdenalno, a.k.a. Katherine or Kate, a Koyukon woman from Kokrines, a village situated about 80 miles west of Tanana.

In 1893, McQuesten grubstaked Russian-Koyukoners Sergei Cherosky and Pitka Pavaloff, a.k.a. Sorresco and Pitka in other historical accounts, who made the rich discovery of placer gold at Birch Creek, in what became the Circle mining district.

In early 1894, McQuesten offered to outfit as many of those in the Fortymile district that wanted to try the new central Alaska district, and some 80 argonauts accepted his offer.

By mid-1894, commercial pay was found on Mastodon, Miller, and Independence Creeks, which would become the core of the future producing district.

Circle City was founded in 1894, and by 1895, was booming and known to be the largest log cabin community in the North Country.

Jack and his able wife Kate established the Alaska Commercial Company in Circle.

Circle also became a staging area for prospectors to work in the Yukon-Tanana region, even after the Klondike gold rush of 1896, i.e., Felix Pedro based out of the Circle area prior to his 1902 discovery of the Fairbanks district.

Jack's wife, Katherine James McQuesten, was educated at Russian Mission on the lower Yukon River in a Russian Orthodox setting.

She was fluent in Russian, Koyukon, and English, and served as an important multi-lingual interpreter for her husband Jack and other Yukon traders such as Al Mayo and Arthur Harper throughout her life.

Respectful of her upbringing, she gave birth to eight of her eleven children in a tent outside their western style houses, according to Koyukon (Athabascan) tradition.

Because of a desire to provide quality educational opportunities like she had had, most of her children were sent outside Alaska to attend school, all in California.

Kate McQuesten was a community leader and served as a unique intermediary between the native and white cultures within the trading posts in which she lived, i.e., Fort reliance, Circle City, Tanana, and Rampart, where both she and Jack lived for many years.

Katherine McQuesten with part of her large family.

All of the children depicted would graduate from Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California.

In 1897, Jack, then 60 years of age, fearing food shortages and an economic crash in Circle City caused by the Klondike gold rush, decided to move his family outside.

McQuesten did, however, manage to purchase mining claims on Eldorado and Bonanza Creeks in the Klondike district as late as 1898, and was able to profit from those investments.

Jack, Kate, and family embraced a new life in a large Victorian mansion in the bustling town of Berkeley, California.

After Jack McQuesten's death in 1909, Kate successful managed the McQuesten California estate until her own death in 1921 at the age of 61.

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten was frequently and aptly referred to as the "Father of the Yukon".

He died in 1909 at the age of 72, while tending to 'ambassador duties' for the Alaska-Yukon Exposition in Seattle.

Throughout his life, he established important trading posts and grubstaked many successful prospectors throughout the Yukon River basin.

Jack was also, by far, the most successful financially of the big three Yukon River traders, and was a multi-millionaire by 1898.

The right limit of the Stewart River above the Yukon River bears his name-the McQuesten River.

The more obscure McQuesten Creek, which heads into the Ray Mountains 28 miles northeast of Tanana, also is named after Jack McQuesten.

Regarded by nearly everyone as an honest man, Jack was among the founding members of Yukon Order of Pioneers.

Additional mention has to be made of McQuesten's remarkable wife, Kate.

It is difficult to determine just how, exactly, this very successful man would have managed to become the premier Yukon River trader without her at his side.

The long-held bush legend is that McQuesten never sent out a bill and was seldom shortchanged for his generosity.

According to some, Kate was always looking after his business collections and made sure that he was always paid.

 McQuesten and his two partners each married native Athabascan women of the Koyukon people, strengthening their ties among the local culture. In 1874 Harper married a young woman he called Jeannine, who had not gone to a mission school and preferred to teach her children traditional ways.
 The three trading partners moved to Tanana after 1875, where they set up another trading post near the Athabascan village of Nuklukayet. In 1878 McQuesten married "Satejdenalno" (1860–1921). She was from Kokrines village, about 80 miles west. She had attended the Russian mission school, as had her cousin Margaret, whom Mayo married. "Satejdenalno" became known as Katherine (or Kate) James McQuesten. Fluent in Koyukon, Russian, and English, she often acted as an intermediary for her husband and his partners in communications with the local natives.


They also had several children together.

(meta data) TITLE: Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten (undated)Photo from Yukon Archives

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten was born in Litchfield, New Hampshire and labored on a farm during his early years.

At the tender age of 13, he spirited off to the 1849 California Gold rush with family, who had previously uprooted from New Hampshire to Illinois.

Jack McQuesten was a big, stout man who stood well over six feet tall and weighed, even in his youth, more than 200 pounds.

By 1858, he had entered British Columbia (Canada), and by 1863, during the American Civil War, McQuesten was mining on the Fraser River.

In 1871, he was one of the vigorous, young Americans who were prospecting in more remote locations in northern Canada.

In addition to McQuesten, the group included James McKnipp, Alfred H. Mayo, Arthur Harper, Frederick Hart, and Andrus Kansellar.

In 1872, Harper, McQuesten, and Mayo, along with Hart, were trading and prospecting in the Omineca region of western Canada.

McQuesten had already worked as a prospector, a trapper, a trader at Fort Gary, Manitoba, and as a Hudson's Bay Trading Company voyageur.

McQuesten and companions traveled to remote Yukon Territory in the summer of 1873, and by September of that year, had arrived at a former Hudson's Bay Trading Company post on the Yukon River in present day Alaska.

In 1847, The Hudson's Bay Trading Company (Hudson's Bay) had established the trading post 'Fort Yukon' in Russian America territory at the confluence of the Porcupine and Yukon Rivers without significant protest from Russian officials-partly because it was unclear whether or not the post was in Canada or Russian America.

But once the United States acquired ownership of Alaska through the 1867 purchase from the Russian Tsar Alexander II, Hudson's Bay was forced by U.S. authorities to leave in 1869, when an American flag was raised.

The Alaska Commercial Company assumed ownership of Hudson's Bay expropriated property, which also became the pattern of ownership of trading posts all over the formerly Russian held territory of Alaska.

Early traders, including McQuesten, Harper, and Mayo, saw an opportunity to fill the vacuum left by Hudson's Bay departure.

These dominantly U.S. citizens would begin to dominate the vast Yukon River basin on both sides of the International Boundary.

In 1874, after journeying downriver with Arthur Harper and Alfred Mayo to St. Michael at the mouth of the Yukon River, McQuesten traveled back up the Yukon River to establish a trading post that he named Fort Reliance on the east bank of the Yukon, just 13 km (7 miles) downstream of the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers.

Fort Reliance remained the center of the fur trade and mining activities in the upper Yukon River for more than a decade, finally yielding that position to a new post established in 1886 near Stewart River further upstream.

Logs from Fort Reliance were subsequently shipped upriver to the new Stewart River post, while others were burned by river steamers, so little remained of Fort Reliance after 1886.

A new trading post at the Stewart River was established by one of McQuesten's partners, Al Mayo.

That the old Fort Reliance was so close to what became the great Klondike gold district has intrigued historians since.

Fort Reliance served as a topographic compass for the region, which still exists today.

For example, the mouth of the Fortymile River and settlement is 40 miles downstream from Fort Reliance.

The mouth of the Sixtymile River is 60 miles upstream from Fort Reliance.

Arthur Harper and Al Mayo had joined with Jack McQuesten in the establishment of Fort Reliance in 1875.

McQuesten operated the post but did ask Harper and Mayo for help from time to time.

When McQuesten was away securing supplies out of St. Michael during 1882, Harper and Mayo took over the management of the post.

It was during this time period when an unfortunate incident took place at Fort Reliance.

Harper and Mayo were having trouble with a local group of Klondike area Natives, who had become agitated with the rapidly expanding presence of traders and prospectors caused by the 1880-1881 opening of the Chilkoot Pass by Alaskan coastal Indians.

Harper and Mayo decided to temporarily leave the post until attitudes and relations improved.

The traders concealed, as best as they could, all of the valuable supplies, which included an arsenic-grease mixture used to kill mice and other vermin.

The Natives, not being able to trade for supplies, looted the post.

They found the arsenic vermin poison and mixed it with flour as a food supplement.

Two elderly woman were poisoned and died and a young girl was permanently blinded.

When McQuesten returned from St. Michael, he knew, as the main owner/operator of Fort Reliance, that he faced a crisis and needed to repair relations with the Upper Yukon River native community as soon as possible.

He did not blame Harper of Mayo for any malfeasance, both of whom felt very bad about the situation.

After a sensitive pow-wow, complete with sincere apologies, McQuesten billed the Natives for the stolen goods, but asked nothing for the damage to the facility.

The Indians agreed to pay for the goods.

The Indians did not blame the traders for the fatalities of the two elderly women, but asked for compensation for the blinding of the child.

According to the Dominion of Canada land surveyor, William Olgilvie,

"...ten skins, the current terms of the country (about six dollars) was demanded for compensation of the injuries to the child.

This amount was cheerfully paid (by McQuesten) and some presents given besides and the prompt payment and kindliness re-

After Fort Reliance was established, McQuesten went back to Fort Yukon in 1875, and then, accompanied by his partners Harper and Mayo, moved further downriver to Tanana, near the village of Nuklukayet.

In 1878, McQuesten met and married Satejdenalno, a.k.a. Katherine or Kate, a Koyukon woman from Kokrines, a village situated about 80 miles west of Tanana.

In 1893, McQuesten grubstaked Russian-Koyukoners Sergei Cherosky and Pitka Pavaloff, a.k.a. Sorresco and Pitka in other historical accounts, who made the rich discovery of placer gold at Birch Creek, in what became the Circle mining district.

In early 1894, McQuesten offered to outfit as many of those in the Fortymile district that wanted to try the new central Alaska district, and some 80 argonauts accepted his offer.

By mid-1894, commercial pay was found on Mastodon, Miller, and Independence Creeks, which would become the core of the future producing district.

Circle City was founded in 1894, and by 1895, was booming and known to be the largest log cabin community in the North Country.

Jack and his able wife Kate established the Alaska Commercial Company in Circle.

Circle also became a staging area for prospectors to work in the Yukon-Tanana region, even after the Klondike gold rush of 1896, i.e., Felix Pedro based out of the Circle area prior to his 1902 discovery of the Fairbanks district.

Jack's wife, Katherine James McQuesten, was educated at Russian Mission on the lower Yukon River in a Russian Orthodox setting.

She was fluent in Russian, Koyukon, and English, and served as an important multi-lingual interpreter for her husband Jack and other Yukon traders such as Al Mayo and Arthur Harper throughout her life.

Respectful of her upbringing, she gave birth to eight of her eleven children in a tent outside their western style houses, according to Koyukon (Athabascan) tradition.

Because of a desire to provide quality educational opportunities like she had had, most of her children were sent outside Alaska to attend school, all in California.

Kate McQuesten was a community leader and served as a unique intermediary between the native and white cultures within the trading posts in which she lived, i.e., Fort reliance, Circle City, Tanana, and Rampart, where both she and Jack lived for many years.

Katherine McQuesten with part of her large family.

All of the children depicted would graduate from Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California.

In 1897, Jack, then 60 years of age, fearing food shortages and an economic crash in Circle City caused by the Klondike gold rush, decided to move his family outside.

McQuesten did, however, manage to purchase mining claims on Eldorado and Bonanza Creeks in the Klondike district as late as 1898, and was able to profit from those investments.

Jack, Kate, and family embraced a new life in a large Victorian mansion in the bustling town of Berkeley, California.

After Jack McQuesten's death in 1909, Kate successful managed the McQuesten California estate until her own death in 1921 at the age of 61.

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten was frequently and aptly referred to as the "Father of the Yukon".

He died in 1909 at the age of 72, while tending to 'ambassador duties' for the Alaska-Yukon Exposition in Seattle.

Throughout his life, he established important trading posts and grubstaked many successful prospectors throughout the Yukon River basin.

Jack was also, by far, the most successful financially of the big three Yukon River traders, and was a multi-millionaire by 1898.

The USA men's national team players are starting to reap the rewards of gaining ODI status, with a total of 17 players awarded central contracts through funding supplied by the recent investment deal signed with American Cricket Enterprises.

However, it has also sparked a tipping point in the club v country debate as some have pulled out of the Global T20 Canada after signing a USA Cricket retainer, while others have opted to forgo a central contract to keep their options open for franchise cricket.

According to multiple ESPNcricinfo sources, two key USA players have turned down central contracts: Ali Khan and Hayden Walsh Jr.

They are the only two USA players who were drafted in both the Global T20 Canada - where they will be teammates at Vancouver Knights - and in the Caribbean Premier League.

Ali Khan is returning to Trinbago Knight Riders while Walsh Jr. has switched from St Kitts & Nevis Patriots to Barbados Tridents for the 2019 season.

Accepting a USA contract would have opened up the possibility that they would be denied No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) to participate in these, and other, T20 leagues.

However, both Ali Khan and Walsh Jr can play for USA on a match-fee basis, even though they chose not to accept a contract.

Conversely, five USA players have received one-year central contracts while 12 others have received three-month deals.

The five players to secure one-year deals are batsmen Steven Taylor, Xavier Marshall, Monank Patel and Aaron Jones, and medium pacer Jessy Singh.

Both Taylor and Jones had recently lost their central contracts with Jamaica and Barbados respectively in the Cricket West Indies Professional Cricket League after not being retained in April's PCL draft.

However, USA captain Saurabh Netravalkar and vice-captain Jaskaran Malhotra were not given one-year deals.

Instead, they have been given three-month contracts along with the majority of those who made up USA's squad from WCL Division Two in Namibia this past April that secured ODI status for the country through 2022.

The only player not offered a contract from that squad was Roy Silva, the 39-year-old allrounder.

Consequently it means that Taylor, Singh and Timil Patel have withdrawn from the Global T20 Canada which starts on July 25 in Brampton, Ontario.

It represents a shift in priorities for Taylor, who in the summer of 2015 had withdrawn from USA's squad for the T20 World Cup Qualifier in Ireland to take up a rookie contract with Barbados Tridents and had stated ambitions to one day represent West Indies.

Two other USA players taken in the Global T20 Canada, fast bowler Kyle Phillip and batsman Sunny Sohal, were not offered USA Cricket contracts and have remained in the tournament.

The availability of Netravalkar, Marshall and Jones for the CPL - drafted by Guyana Amazon Warriors, Jamaica Tallawahs and St Kitts & Nevis Patriots respectively - is unclear.

Aside from that group, six other players have been given three-month contracts by USA Cricket in the buildup to the T20 World Cup Qualifying.

They are former South African international Rusty Theron, former USA vice-captain Timroy Allen, Hampshire medium pace allrounder Ian Holland, former Guyana Under-19 batsman Akshay Homraj, left-arm spinning allrounder Nisarg Patel and batsman Sagar Patel.

The three-month contracts are dated to begin on July 22 when all contracted players will fly to Los Angeles for the start of a three-week training camp at Woodley Park, the site of USA squad trials that were held last month.

The training camp is in preparation for the next round of 2020 T20 World Cup Qualifying, when USA travels to Bermuda to take on the host side, Canada and Cayman Islands in a double round-robin event from August 18-25.

The top two teams advance to the global T20 World Cup Qualifier in the UAE from October 11 to November 4.

Following the conclusion of the qualifier in Bermuda, USA's next action is their first home ODIs against Namibia and Papua New Guinea from September 7 to 14.

The series was originally announced by the ICC in May to be hosted at Church Street Park in the Raleigh, North Carolina suburb of Morrisville.

But USA Cricket officials have confirmed that Raleigh will no longer host the matches.

A new turf facility paid for by ACE funding which is nearing completion in the Silicon Valley town of Morgan Hill, California, is a leading candidate.

If the facility does not receive clearance from the ICC in time, then Woodley Park in Los Angeles is the most likely alternative.

The most recent international cricket to take place at Woodley was in November 2016 when USA hosted WCL Division Four.

ACE hired a full-time groundsman for Woodley Park in June, brought in from India, to get the pitches at the facility back into suitable condition.

After the completion of USA's home ODIs in September, all USA contracted players who are not part of CPL squads are expected to be flown to Bangalore for another three-week camp at India's National Cricket Academy.

The camp will serve as their final preparation for the T20 World Cup Qualifier in the UAE in October.

USA Cricket 12-month contracts: Aaron Jones, Xavier Marshall, Monank Patel, Jessy Singh, Steven Taylor.

USA Cricket three-month contracts: Timroy Allen, Karima Gore, Ian Holland, Akshay Homraj, Elmore Hutchinson, Nosthush Kenjige, Jaskaran Malhotra, Saurabh Netravalkar, Nisarg Patel, Sagar Patel, Timil Patel, Rusty Theron.

A Church of Scientology advert claiming that its programmes had "salvaged" 250,000 people from drug abuse has been censured by the Advertising Standards Authority as unproved, following a complaint by the Church of England.

The ruling related to a poster coinciding with a campaign run two years ago by the church.

In effect it claimed that the church had saved all those who had completed its drug programmes.

It did not mention that its definition of drug use included an occasional alcoholic drink or prescription medicine, and exposure to chemical toxins.

The ASA judgment said: "The authority accepted that the ... programmes ... had enabled many people to overcome a dependency on drugs but was concerned that the advertisers had not proved that all those enrolled were dependent on street or prescription drugs at the time of enrolment, or that as many as 250,000 drug users had stopped ... as a direct result of Scientology's intervention."

A Church of England spokesman said: "The truth is Scientology makes claims for their dangerous cult which they can neither prove nor substantiate.

Drug users trying to kick the habit are vulnerable.

This makes them perfect prey for cults."

Graeme Wilson, the Scientologists' spokesman, said: "The success of the ... programmes to help drug addicts ... has been acknowledged by the ASA following an investigation which lasted longer than a year."

Hubbard claims to have been the discoverer of the "acid flashback" phenomenon, in which LSD is said to lodge itself in tissues and re-enter the bloodstream years later.

Over 250,000 have done this program with spectacular success." [1] The claim of "Over 250,000" successes drew censure from the UK's Advertising Standards Authority.

# Nevada AG candidate Aaron Ford arrested 4 times in 1990s

Nevada Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, was arrested four times in Texas in the 1990s for public intoxication, stealing tires and twice for failing to appear in court — once for a speeding ticket and once for a theft charge.

By Ramona Giwargis Las Vegas Review-Journal

Nevada Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, was arrested four times in Texas in the 1990s for public intoxication, stealing tires and twice for failing to appear in court.

POLICE INCIDENT REPORT; CLICK TO ENLARGE

The longtime senator also was investigated for trespassing into his now ex-girlfriend's home, documents show.

The documents, first obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday, detail several years of legal troubles for Ford in his early 20s.

The revelations come a week after the Review-Journal reported that Ford owed more than $185,000 in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.

Ford on Friday acknowledged making bad decisions in his youth and said he has learned from his mistakes.

"I obviously made some bad decisions, but college kids make bad decisions," he said.

It's part of what makes me so passionate for what I fight for.

I don't want the first 20 years of my life to be the judge of what's happened the last 25 years of my life."

According to records, Texas authorities issued an arrest warrant for Ford in October 1994 after he skipped arraignment on a misdemeanor theft charge.

Ford was arrested in June that year and accused of stealing $20 to $200 worth of tires in Brazos County.

His bail was set for $10,000, documents show.

Ford, 46, was arrested on the warrant in December 1994 and arraigned in February 1995.

The records show Ford eventually made restitution and the case was dismissed.

In 1993, the senator was investigated by the City of College Station Police Department for criminal trespassing after he allegedly entered a Texas woman's home "without her permission."

Ford was not arrested and no criminal charges were filed.

The woman, Stephanie Ybarra, is the mother of Ford's son and reportedly told officers she did not allow him to enter her home, according to an incident report.

The City of College Station denied a public records request for the full report, providing just the first page.

Officials said they withheld the records because the police investigation did not result in a conviction.

Ford also was arrested by Texas A&M University police in 1991 and charged with public intoxication.

He was arrested again the following year when police responded to a "disturbance" at his apartment in Bryan, Texas.

Ford said his college friends were partying before officers responded to the home.

A routine check showed a warrant stemming from Ford's failure to appear for a speeding ticket.

Though Ford's arrests are more than two decades old when he was in his early 20s, political opponents say the information is relevant because Ford is running for attorney general — the state's top law enforcement official.

"Four criminal arrests are a pretty serious revelation for someone running to be Nevada's top law enforcement officer," said John Vick, campaign manager for Ford's Republican opponent Wes Duncan.
