James Holmes, the 27-year-old who killed 12 people at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. in 2012, was sentenced to life in prison without parole Friday. Holmes had been eligible for the death penalty, but the 12 jurors could not unanimously agree to sentence him to death, The Associated Press reports. After a four-month trial, the jury found Holmes guilty of 24 counts of first-degree murder last month. He was convicted on 166 counts total, including attempted murder and weapons charges. Holmes' lawyers never contested his guilt, but said the massacre was prompted by a psychotic break as the result of schizophrenia. Reported by SeattlePI.com 3 days ago.

Churchill Wild Offers New Northern Lights Viewing Adventure at Remote Canadian Eco-lodge

Churchill Wild, Canada's premier supplier of on-the-ground Polar Bear Tours and Polar Bear Walking Safaris, is proud to announce their newest adventure, Lights in the Wild, a northern lights viewing experience that is sure to delight discerning aurora borealis seekers and adventurers from around the world.

(PRWEB) August 11, 2015

Churchill Wild, Canada's premier supplier of on-the-ground Polar Bear Tours and Polar Bear Walking Safaris, is proud to announce their newest adventure, Lights in the Wild, a northern lights viewing experience that is sure to delight discerning aurora borealis seekers and adventurers from around the world.

"We've been watching spectacular light shows at our northern lodges for years," said Churchill-Wild co-owner Mike Reimer. "That, combined with client requests, led us to create Lights in the Wild. It's the first trip of its kind that we know of at a fly-in eco-lodge in Canada's Arctic, and it also features authentic northern activities that will captivate guests all week long."

Lights in the Wild will be based out of Churchill Wild's remote North Knife Lake Lodge, 300 km north of Thompson, Manitoba. The massive custom-built wilderness lodge is located deep in the heart of the boreal forest in the largest remaining untamed wilderness on earth, which is also home to the vast caribou herds of the Canadian Arctic. Remote, isolated and pristine beyond belief, this area of Canada's Arctic provides exceptional northern lights activity in exquisite northern silence.

Guests on Lights in the Wild will be entertained by ghostly "rivers of light" that dance across the Arctic night skies in brilliant shades of green, red, yellow and purple, enveloped in a bottomless black backdrop flooded with millions of twinkling stars.

Some claim they can hear the northern lights; others claim they can call them; but certainly all are awestruck by their spellbinding beauty. Imagine being wrapped in caribou skins and laying out in the middle of the lake under the lights at night, hearing and feeling the swish of crystalline snow drifting past you while the aurora dances above. It's a very different world that few ever experience.

Daytime activities on the Lights in the Wild adventure will keep guests busy with choices that include snowshoeing, ice fishing, hot tubbing, fireside stories and legends, wolf howling, animal tracking, dog sledding, snowmobiling, visiting a local Inuit camp and more traditional pursuits. Optional helicopter and bush plane charters to see the caribou herds daily are also available.

Possible wildlife sightings on Lights in the Wild include moose, caribou, wolves, Arctic fox, pine marten and a variety of northern birds. There will also be a trapper on site to regale guests with tales of the north and bush lore, and to teach bannock making, setting nets under the ice, chopping firewood, snowshoeing, animal tracking, wild game preparation and anything else you might like to learn from a genuine northern trapper!

The culinary experience on all Churchill Wild adventures is always something special and it will be no different on Lights in the Wild, with deliciously prepared meals from the award-winning cookbook series Blueberries and Polar Bears that include wild game dishes complemented by fine wines, and maybe even the fresh fish you just caught, in one of the purest spring-fed bodies of water on the planet.

Lights in the Wild is now booking for March 20-27, 2016.

The 17-story tower is noted as the first new condo development on the west side of Collins Avenue in more than 10 years.

MIAMI, Fla. (PRWEB) August 11, 2015

Real estate attorney Steve Bassin and land use attorney Ethan B. Wasserman with the Miami office of international law firm Greenberg Traurig represented longtime client Verzasca Group in receiving Sunny Isles Beach city approval for its “Aurora” mixed-use project. The 17-story tower is noted as the first new condo development on the west side of Collins Avenue in more than 10 years.

“We are thrilled to have gained approval from the city and owe tremendous gratitude to our Greenberg Traurig legal team for helping us with this process,” said Darius Kasparaitis, President of Verzasca Group. “We designed the building to meet the growing demand for affordable luxury in a desirable area and we look forward to taking the next steps.”

The top 16 floors of the building at 17550 Collins Avenue will have 61 two- and three-bedroom residential units that each average 1,600 square feet and will be marketed for less than $1,000 per square foot. The ground floor will have commercial uses. The building also will include two separate, private “mikvahs” for men and women (Jewish baths used for ritual immersion).

“This favorable outcome was possible due to our client’s strong desire to address the community’s concerns and our ability to guide them through the governmental processes,” said Bassin. “This is a shining example of how a developer, the city and the community can work together to move forward a project that will serve the needs of all stakeholders.”

Added Wasserman: “The Aurora project demonstrates the tremendous success that can be achieved when responsible developers work hard to respond to the needs of the community. The Greenberg Traurig team is proud of our work in successfully coordinating the dialogue between the Sunny Isles Beach city commission, the planning department, the city attorney's office, and the local community to achieve a fantastic result.”

Verzasca Group plans to break ground shortly after launching sales in the coming months.
