Eastern New Mexico has been an area of uncertainty with the future of Cannon Air Force Base and an area compelled to give to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. A local charity wants residents to remember there are other uncertainties in the area and more local people with needs.

The United Way of Eastern New Mexico is starting off its 2005 fund-raising efforts, with a goal of $70,000 for Roosevelt County.

The charitable organization last year merged the Curry and Roosevelt county branches to make fund-raising efforts more efficient, and created the United Way of Eastern New Mexico. Its goal — $70,000 for Roosevelt County and $412,005 for Curry County — is a total of $482,005.

The organization had its kickoff

When processed in this maimer, the agglomerated ore was found to have sufficient green strength to withstand the effects of degradation caused by the heap building and leaching operations.
In commercial practice, the method developed by the United States Bureau of Mines has not met with widespread acceptance because of the cost and time required.

The largest farming groups in what would become New Toronto were the Northcote family to the east around where Seventh Street/Islington Avenue meets Lake Shore Blvd and the Goldthorpe family to the west at Mimico Avenue (now Kipling Avenue) where the Mimico Insane Asylum was later built.

New Toronto was outlined as a working town in 1890. This plan became a reality in 1906 when the Grand Trunk Railway opened repair shops, a roundhouse and a freight yard in New Toronto.

The railway draw industry to New Toronto. The areas largest employer was the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company which established a manufactory here in 1917.
New Toronto's quick development led to its incorporation as a Town in 1920. Frank


Longstaff, in Villages of Etobicoke, recalls that during this period of prosperity, New Toronto publicized itself as having the "highest value of manufacturing per square mile in North America."

In 1929, the New Toronto fire station was built. Layed out in an Italianate style, it was also used as the Town Hall for a time. It is still a fire station today.

In 1953 the Lake Shore municipalities (Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch) were severed from York County along with the other municipalities south of Steeles Ave to create a new 'urban' region: Metropolitan Toronto (Metro).

In 1967, New Toronto was amalgamated with the old Township of Etobicoke, however it never lost its sense of identity as a working class town.

U2 were “thinking about some special guests” for their return to Paris less than a month after their concerts in the French capital were postponed by the terror attacks. At Sunday night’s show at AccorHotels Arena, the band were joined by Patti Smith, who performed a portion of “Gloria” and “People Have the Power” with the band. Smith’s appearance closed out an event that was the most high-profile concert since the November 13th attacks, and throughout the evening, Bono paid tribute to the victims both in Paris as well as those killed this week in San Bernardino, California.

Prior to the show, U2denied rumors that Eagles of Death Metal, the band who performed at the Bataclan during the terror attacks, would join the band onstage. ”We’re back in ParisClub members – all men – are given sobriquets taken from characters in the Pickwick Papers. I’m Mr. Grundy. There are only a finite number of characters in the book so to become a member you go on seven-year waiting list and, when an unfortunate member shuffles off this mortal coil, in you jump.

There are two main events each year: posh and ribald ‘luncheons’ in the 200-year old New Connaught Rooms, near Covent Garden. At the luncheons, members are called to order by trumpeters of the Grenadier Guards and Pickwickian punch is wheeled in by Chelsea pensioners while members sing the Boys of the Old Brigade. The great and good of the bicycle world go to these functions, from industry bigwigs to pro riders (I sat next to


David Millar at a previous function). The Pickwick Bicycle Club also still organises bicycle rides, including an annual ride at Hampton Court. Members are encouraged to ride period bicycles.

This ride has a long history. The third ride took place on May 26th 1877, and was immortalised in the drawing below which appeared in the Illustrated London News. Fixed front wheel velocipedes could be made to go quicker by enlarging the front wheel: the high wheel bicycle was the result and can be seen at the front of procession of up to 2,000 riders. London and “provincial” clubs were well represented on the ride. There was a rider from Edinburgh and seven from Manchester. 69 of the riders were members of the Pickwick Bicycle Club, and the club’s CaptainK.M. Yeoman was “put in command for the day.” Behind him were six marshals, one of which was a fellow Pickwickian.

The clubs of the time were quasi-military in garb and manners: riders dressed in uniforms and followed commands issued via a bugler. One of the reasons for the uniforms and riding en masse was to discourage stone throwing from country-dwellers not used to seeing townsfolk on the long neglected turnpikes. Cyclists of the 1870s were the first users of rural roads since the demise of the stagecoach trade fifty years previously.

At the 1877 Hampton Court ride “each of the Marshals wore a scarlet sash,” reported the Illustrated London News.

“At half-past five o’clock the buglers sounded the advance. The Pickwick Club, which was first in order, immediately replied, and


to the rider of 1928, but he will be reminded of the weight of the ‘boneshaker’ – 60lbs with its wooden wheels, iron tyres, and the villainous character of the road surfaces.”

The most notable former member – and club president in 1944 – was Lord Nuffield CBE who, as William Morris, founded the Morris Motor Co. Naturally, as with many motor magnates, Lord Nuffield had started out as a bicycle mechanic.

In the company of his fellow club members Lord Nuffield was known as Joseph Smiggers. Many of the early clubmen raced using only their assumed names.

The Boys’ Own Paper of 1889 reported that in “some old reports of race meetings, we find the name of the “Fat Boy” frequently mentioned. As may naturally be supposed, this name wasappropriated by one of the thinnest of men.”

"How cyclists were the first to push for good roads & became the pioneers of motoring." ROADS WERE NOT BUILT FOR CARS is a print, Kindle, iPad and free e-book about roads history.
The coming of the railways in the 1830s killed off the stage-coach trade; almost all rural roads reverted to low-level local use. Cyclists were the first group in a generation to use roads and were the first to push for high-quality sealed surfaces and were the first to lobby for national funding and leadership for roads. They were also the first promoters of motoring; the first motoring journalists had first been cycling journalists; and there was a transfer of technology from cycling to motoring without which cars as we


know them wouldn't exist! Nearly seventy car marques – including Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC – had bicycling beginnings.
'Roads Were Not Built for Cars' is a history book, focussing on a time when cyclists had political clout, in Britain and especially in America. The book researches the Roads Improvement Association - a lobbying group created by the Cyclists' Touring Club in 1886 - and the Good Roads movement organised by the League of American Wheelmen in the same period.

SCHOOL BOARD OF THE CITY OF NORFOLK
v.
Celestine WESCOTT.
Record No. 961739.
Supreme Court of Virginia.
September 12, 1997.
*147 Daniel R. Hagemeister, Deputy City Attorney (Philip R. Trapani, City Attorney, on brief), for appellant.
William P. Robinson, Jr., Norfolk (Robinson, Footman-Banks & Anderson, on brief), for appellee.
Present: CARRICO, C.J., and COMPTON, STEPHENSON,[1] LACY, HASSELL, KEENAN and KOONTZ, JJ.
LACY, Justice.
Celestine Wescott was employed as a security guard at Granby High School by the School Board of the City of Norfolk (the School Board) during the 1994-95 school year. On November 16, 1994, Michael J. Caprio, the principal of Granby High School, suspended Wescott pending final action on his recommendation that her employment be terminated. Following an administrative hearing, the deputy superintendent of schools concurred in Caprio's recommendation and, on December 15,


1994, the School Board approved Wescott's termination, effective November 17, 1994.
Wescott filed a bill of complaint against the School Board seeking reinstatement with full benefits and back pay. After an ore tenus hearing, the trial court ruled that the action of the School Board in discharging Wescott was arbitrary and capricious and ordered the School Board to pay Wescott "all back pay, allowances and benefits for the remainder of the school year, 1994-95." We awarded the School Board an appeal and, because we conclude that the action of the School Board was not arbitrary or capricious and was supported by substantial evidence, we will reverse the judgment of the trial court and enter judgment for the School Board.

I.
Wescott had been employed as a security guard in the NorfolkSchool System "on and off" for approximately 19 years. She had been assigned to Maury High School prior to her transfer to Granby High School in 1994. Her annual classified personnel contract with the School Board provided that she would work "such hours as the school board may designate and shall perform such duties ... as are deemed necessary" and that the School Board could dismiss her "for just cause."
Wescott's annual performance reviews were favorable, although at least two of the reviews contained comments or concerns regarding absences from work. Wescott had been absent 13 days in 1990-91, 18.5 days in 1991-92, 22 days in 1992-93, and 49.5 days in the 1993-94 school year. The absences were caused by family illness, personal illness, or court appearances. The School


Board did not question Wescott's reasons for these absences, and they were considered "approved" absences.
James B. Slaughter, the principal while Wescott was assigned to Maury High School, told Wescott of his concern regarding her absences. Wescott testified that when she met with the principal, he told her "how much he needed [her] in the building.... He was very concerned about [her] father being ill and concerned about [her] taking days out, but he knew that [she] had to take them because [her father] was ill." In a March 1994 letter to Wescott, Slaughter acknowledged that "[r]egrettably" her father's health had necessitated some of her absences, but he again expressed his concern over her "level of attendance" which he had discussed with her "on several occasions." Slaughter supported Wescott'stransfer to Granby High School in the spring of 1994.
In the fall of 1994, Michael J. Caprio became the principal of Granby High School.
*148 Wescott had not worked for Caprio prior to this time. On October 5, Caprio met with Wescott to discuss her absences from work. On that date, Wescott had been absent for 7 of the 20 days school had been in session. Caprio summarized the meeting in a letter to her in which he stated that they needed to "get together and formulate a plan of action so that we can assist you in improving your attendance at Granby High School."
During a second conference on October 14, Caprio reviewed Wescott's attendance records for previous years with her. Wescott testified that she explained that the reasons


for all of her prior absences were properly documented, but Caprio told her that if she was absent one more time, she was "going to be terminated." Apparently, no plan of action was formulated at that meeting, but in an October 14 letter to Wescott referring to "our conference" on that date, Caprio stated that he hoped Wescott understood how her absences impacted her job as a security guard, that he was pleased with her job performance, and that, although he remained concerned over her absences to date, "I trust that this attendance problem has been resolved at this meeting."
When Wescott reported for work on November 16, 1994, Caprio gave her a memorandum written by him, asked her to remove her Granby jacket, and told her to leavethe building. The memorandum referred to the prior conferences and letters regarding Wescott's absences and the impact of the absences on the security program at the school. It went on to point out that since the October 14 conference, Wescott was absent on 5 more occasions, bringing her total absences to 12 days of the first 47 school days. Based on this record, Caprio concluded that "no significant improvement in your attendance has been evident." The memorandum stated that Caprio was suspending Wescott without pay immediately and recommending to the superintendent that she be terminated. The memorandum also informed her that she had seven days to contact the deputy superintendent to appeal Caprio's recommendation.
Wescott appealed Caprio's recommendation, and a hearing was held in accordance with school board policy.


Wescott, her representative Malcolm Staples, Caprio, and the head of personnel for the school system were present at the hearing conducted by Deputy Superintendent J. Frank Sellew. Wescott's representative presented documentation of her absences and argued that she should not be discharged for excessive absenteeism. Caprio responded that Wescott's absences "crippled" the security program at the school and interfered with the "safe and ordinary conduct of the school." Caprio also stated that Wescott had been warned about the consequences of her continued absences.
In a letter dated November 30, 1994, Sellew informed Wescott that he supported Caprio's recommendation. This recommendation was subsequently adopted by the School Board at its December 15, 1994 meeting.

II.
The standard of review which a trial court must apply in considering a challenge to a schoola "pool" of substitute security guards who could be contacted in the event a regular guard was absent, the pool was limited and served all 13 schools in the system. Deputy Superintendent Sellew testified that "sometimes you get one and sometimes you don't" and that the substitute guards generally do not know the student body. This, in Sellew's opinion, "really does hamper the safety and security of the operation within the school."
The record is also replete with instances where the need for consistent attendance by security guards was explained to Wescott. Wescott was told more than once of the impact her absence had on the security program. School administrators told her of their concern over her absenteeism and expressed a desire to work with Wescott to address the


problem. Caprio's decision to suspend Wescott and recommend her termination was made only after at least two discussions with her in 1994, including a review of her attendance record which showed a continuing increase in the number of days absent each school year. During these discussions, Wescott was informed that if she was absent one more time, she would be terminated. Following the second discussion on October 14, she was absent an additional 5 days, bringing the total to 12 absences in the first 47 days of the 1994-95 school year.
There is nothing in the record to suggest that Wescott was treated differently than other classified personnel employed by the School Board. In discharging Wescott, the School Board followed the normal procedures for appeal and review of theenter final judgment in favor of the School Board.
Reversed and final judgment.

[1]  Justice Stephenson participated in the hearing and decision of this case prior to the effective date of his retirement on July 1, 1997.
[2]  The school board's leave policies are not part of this record; however, in his November 16, 1994 letter to Wescott, Caprio stated that while she had exhausted her allocated sick leave for the year as of that date, she had one remaining day of personal leave available for the remainder of the 1994-95 school year. We note that in her bill of complaint, Wescott sought a determination of whether the School Board "abrogated" its contract; however, Wescott did not argue at trial or on appeal that, because at the time of

Just two days after Mo Bamba declared for the NBA Draft, Texas lost another piece of its 2017-18 rotation. Sophomore shooting guard Jacob Young has announced on Twitter that he is transferring from the program.

“Thanks to the coaches, teammates, and staff. After my past two years of experiences at UT, I am transferring. I wish Coach Smart and his program all the best. Jacob Young,” he tweeted Thursday afternoon.

Young, primarily a three-point specialist, averaged 6.2 points per game in his sophomore year while shooting 32.3 percent beyond the arc. Although Young endured limited minutes at the beginning of the season, the loss of several backcourt members including Andrew Jones and Eric Davis Jr. spiked the Houston native’s minutes. During the final six contests of the year, Young averaged


said in a statement. “Jacob has been a valuable contributor to our program, and we wish him and his family the very best moving forward.”

Recruited out of Yates High School, Young received offers from Texas, Baylor and Duquesne. His older brother Joe Young — a point guard for the Indiana Pacers — also transferred (to Oregon) after two seasons at his original, in-state program (Houston).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A 14-point second-half lead, career performances by guards Matt Coleman and Kerwin Roach II and a lopsided height advantage in the paint — the 10-seeded Texas Longhorns had everything pointed in their favor in the second half of their opening March Madness game against 7-seeded Nevada.

But minute by minute, the Wolf Pack scratched, clawed and erased the Longhorns’ dreams of attainingsecond-half advantage with 18:42 to go evaporated so rapidly. From the 17:59 mark until 2:26 remained in overtime, the winning team did not lead once.

“Being up nine in an NCAA tournament game, you know the other team's going to really do everything they can to make a run,” Smart said. “Obviously, at that point, (Nevada) had nothing to lose. They were behind, they were attacking and we just didn't do enough to match them.”

Texas finished its season at 19–15, still without a tournament win over a higher-seeded team since 2002. The Longhorns’ roller coaster season, which featured an NCAA-high eight overtime games, concluded in Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country and rock music echo through the streets of downtown Nashville as basketball fans previously dispersed across the nation flock together


to Bridgestone Arena for a weekend full of March Madness.

For many Texas players, this will be their first rodeo. The Longhorns were devoid of college basketball’s biggest stage last March, but head coach Shaka Smart powered his young roster to 19 wins, drawing a 10-seed in the 68-team bracket. Now, the third-year head coach is searching for his first win in the tournament since stepping into the job in Austin back in 2015.

Assuming junior shooting guard Eric Davis Jr. does not play, junior swingman Kerwin Roach II is responsible for all 12 total minutes of tournament experience in Texas’ supply. But what Texas (19–14) lacks in experience, it makes up for in its formidable frontcourt duo of two newcomers — junior power forward Dylan Osetkowski and freshman centerin his third season with Texas. After making the NCAA Tournament in his first season, Texas took a step back last year and finished with an 11–22 record. The Longhorns have been up-and-down this season, but Smart knows his team still can finish the season strong.

Nine short days ago, the Longhorns were on the NCAA Tournament bubble fighting for their lives.

Texas needed two wins in its final three regular season games, and a late-season toe injury to freshman forward Mo Bamba threatened to derail any shot at a tournament bid.

But the injury to Bamba hasn’t been all bad for the Longhorns.

Texas rose to the occasion, winning two of its final three games. In the process, the Longhorns also found a future star: freshman forward Jericho Sims.

“My future is


this recent development and provide further updates when we have the necessary information to do so.”

Davis is one of seven active college basketball players implicated in the report. Davis received $1,500 from ASM Sports, according to the report. Current players from Alabama, Duke, Kentucky, Michigan State, South Carolina and USC were also singled out by the FBI.

Ex-Texas center Prince Ibeh (2012-16) was also one of several former college players named in the report for either meeting with or having a meal with ASM Sports agent Christian Dawkins.

Davis has logged 26.2 minutes per game for Texas this season. He filled sophomore Andrew Jones’ place as the starting shooting guard after Jones was diagnosed with leukemia in January. Davis ranks sixth on the team in scoring with 8.8 points pertriple, ending a cold streak of 20 consecutive misses from long range.

The Longhorns employed freshman point guard Matt Coleman and junior guard Kerwin Roach II as the chief “Trae Young stoppers.” The two played incredible defense and didn’t allow anything easy from beyond the arc, where Oklahoma shot 8-of-30 as a team. Roach and Coleman combined for 23 points, but Texas received its greatest offensive boost from a familiar contributor.

Junior forward Dylan Osetkowski had struggled with his shot lately, faring 14-of-49 in his last five games. But the junior finally delivered the critical performance Texas fans have been longing for with a 21-point, six-rebound outing.

Although his shooting efficiency and resurgence from beyond the arc showed up in the stat sheet, Osetkowski’s game was defined by his hustle. He


match them in the overall win column (16), inching Texas closer to the upper tier of the Big 12.

Texas failed to build momentum after its last victory over Oklahoma, but Smart knows the Longhorns cannot afford to release their foot from the gas pedal in the team’s final four games of the regular season if they want to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years.

Texas can sustain this level of play, but it'll require a collective effort from the team’s starters, as evidenced by Saturday’s win. The Longhorns take the floor again on Wednesday night when they face Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas, hoping to avenge a home loss to the Wildcats on Feb. 7.

Tension lingered in the air at theinsurance providers, "not only the bank accounts of the American people would suffer—but also the American people themselves."

According to USA Today:

Eleven states and the District of Columbia joined the attempt to block the Anthem deal, which would combine the nation's second and fourth largest insurers. Eight states and D.C. joined the suit to block the Aetna deal, which combined the third and fifth largest.

In particular, USA Today noted, "[t]he Aetna-Humana deal would combine two of the four largest providers of Medicare Advantage plans, threatening to drive up costs for certain seniors, and would undermine competition in public exchanges in Florida, Georgia and Missouri, the government said."

UnitedHealthcare is currently the largest health insurer in the nation.

The Chapel has its own curious and convoluted history. During the early 15th century Gibraltar had become a base for Moorish pirate raids. Prosperity for the Rock and it Moorish owners while the surrounding Spanish hinterland suffered accordingly.

In 1436, Enrique Perez de Guzmán, a feudal overlord whose family owned much of the coastline from Tarifa to Cadiz - a favourite area for pirates - decided that enough was enough. He put together his own private army with his son Juan de Guzmán as his lieutenant and attacked Gibraltar. Hes determined to get rid of its Muslim rulers once and for all.

Consequently, the friction disks 012 and the clutch disks 013 interposed between the adjacent friction disks are separated and the centrifugal friction clutch is disengaged.
When the engine operates at high engine speeds, the centrifugal weights 015 are turned radially outward to positions indicated by continuous lines in FIG. 16 by centrifugal force. Consequently, the base portions 015a of the centrifugal weights 015 presses the annular bearing member 017 to press the coneddisk springs 016 against the pressure receiving member 081 which is restrained from axial movement. The resilience of the coned disk springs 016 acts through the base portions 015a of the centrifugal weights 015 on the outer end wall 010b of the clutch cover 010. Consequently, the clutch cover 010 pushes the pressure member 011 to the right, as viewed in FIG. 16 through the snap ring 012, the distance between the pressure receiving member 08a and the pressure member 011 is reduced, the friction disks 012 are pressed against the clutch disks 013 and thereby the centrifugal friction clutch is engaged.
When changing the friction disks 012 and the clutch disks 013 of the centrifugal friction clutch for maintenance, the snap ring 012 is removed, the pressure member

a national accountability system that gives schools little recognition of the progress they often do make with children with poor behaviour, and a national policy that has never been sure whether success would be more or fewer exclusions.

The report is a reminder that, despite our best efforts, the work to develop an approach to exclusions that suits all pupils and all schools is very much unfinished business.

One in seven pupils miss out on first choice secondary school

About 74,000 children who applied to start secondary school in September did not get a place at their first choice school. Photograph: Rex Features

Around one in seven children in England missed out on a place at their first preference secondary school this year, official figures show.

Statistics published by the Department for Educationreveal that 14.7% of the nearly 504,000 11-year-olds who applied to start secondary school this September did not get into the schools their parents wanted.

This is the equivalent of about 74,000 11-year-olds –5,000 fewer than last year. The slight improvement is in part due to 1.7% fewer applications, although the number of places has remained the same.

Inner London had the lowest proportion of pupils getting their first choice school – 65.8% – while outer London was marginally higher at 68.4%. The north-east of England had the highest proportion of first preference offers at 95.1%.

In some parts of London, competition was particularly tough. Just 53.5% of 11-year-olds in Wandsworth, south London, got their first preference. In Hammersmith and Fulham, in west London, and Southwark, in central London, the figures


up.

It also means a distinct change in the image of a typical primary school.

Between 1950 and 2010, the average size of a primary school in the UK remained relatively constant, in a narrow range between 180 and 220 pupils.

There were also 5,500 more primary schools in the early 1970s, when there was last such a demand for places.

David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA’s Children and Young People Board, says much bigger primary schools are now going to become“less unusual”.

But Mr Simmonds, deputy leader of Hillingdon Council, is confident that local authorities will be able to cope with the pressure.

The decision to expand existing schools in urban areas, where land is scarce and expensive, is often the most practical way of creating more places, he says. In rural andcapital and the policies to help councils and schools to make the right decisions.”

Church schools shun poorest pupils

England’s faith state schools are failing to mirror their local communities by shunning the poorest pupils in their area, analysis by the Guardian of the latest government figures shows.

The Roman Catholic church, which has repeatedly insisted its schools are inclusive, comes out particularly badly in the examination of data published by the Department for Education (DfE) last month and in December. Three-quarters of Catholic primary and secondary schools have a more affluent mix of pupils than their local area.

The figures


Muslim schools in England are collectively more reflective of their community, with 67% of primaries and 60% of secondaries having more than the local authority average of free school meal pupils. The 36 Jewish state schools on average have less representation of pupils on free school meals than their local area. There are many Christian schools connected to other denominations, but the data does not specify which denomination.

The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals in each CofE, Catholic or non-religious school was compared with the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals in their local authority and among all the comparable schools in the same postcode area.

It is well-known that the average proportion of deprived pupils in faith schools is lower than it is forall schools in England. However, it has not until now been clear whether this is a facet of the areas they serve. Our analysis shows for the first time the extent to which faith and non-faith schools reflect – or fail to reflect – the proportion of poor pupils in their area.

The vast majority of Catholic primary and secondary schools fail to mirror the proportion of poor pupils living in their community, the data reveals. The Catholic church has fought successful battles to retain control of admissions to its schools.

Some 73% of Catholic primaries and 72% of Catholic secondaries have a lower proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals than the average for the local authority.

It is the same for CofE primary and secondary schools. Some 74%


is the case for 63.5% of CofE primaries and 40% of CofE secondaries.

Non-religious primaries and secondaries are far more likely to mirror the proportion of poor pupils in their postcode – just 47% of non-faith primaries and 29% of non-faith secondaries take a smaller proportion of free school meals than is representative for their postcode.

Anna Vignoles, a professor of the economics of education at the Institute of Education, University of London, said the Guardian’s findings could be explained by the fact that faith schools draw their pupils from their faith communities, which are not necessarily located in the same postcode or area as their school.

A study by Dr Rebecca Allen and Professor Anne West of the Institute of Education and the London School of Economics, published in 2011,idea that those schools that controlled their own admissions were failing to mirror their local communities.

“The current government agenda to narrow the differential attainment between groups was the priority of the founders of church school education 200 years ago, when providing a basic education for the poor was not seen as a state responsibility,” the spokesman said.

“This remains the driver for all that we continue to do today. That is why the church is the largest sponsor of academies, mostly in deprived areas where the schools had a history of under-performance.

“These academies have opened up new opportunities and new life chances for nearly 45,000 young people, all living in disadvantaged areas – a clear example of the outworking of the church’s mission in education.”

Well before Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones rose from the third string to guide the Buckeyes the Big 10 title, a College Football Playoff victory and the national championship, his college career was marked by a single, unforgettable tweet.

"Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS," a then-unknown Jones fired off in October of 2012.

The reaction was swift. In less than 140 characters, Jones had gone from a no-name, first-year player to infamous.

Since then, Jones' life has drastically changed after emerging from the hospital ward that was the Ohio State quarterbacks unit to lead the Buckeyes to their eighth national championship. Now he's a celebrity, taking pictures with fans everywhere he goes,c g

problem among teens and gaining roots among adults. By being more aware of cyber bullying, teens and adults can help to fight it. Cyber bullying involves using technology, like cell phones and the Internet, to bully or harass another person. The introduction of social media and other communication systems has seen several people being bullied online by those who are already proficient on the platforms. The reasons behind cyber bullying might or might not be mala-fide but its existence isn't in the best interest. It has been looked at mainly from the teens' effect both in physical and psychological perception not realizing that adults are also equally affected. The impact on adults comes in different forms and has serious impact on the families and work places. The impactdoesn't usually discriminate based on any protected grounds of human rights which is more used on adults rather than young people. For a long time bullying was associated with boys who are often seen as portraying more aggressive behaviour right through child growth. On the other hand females, were seen as being involved in more subtle and indirect forms of aggression, such as verbal and emotional bullying (Salmivalli & Kaukiainen, 2004; Smith & Sharp, 1994). Of late the act is still going on in different forms and being enhanced by online operations. This makes it have a global effect by people of different races and class – economic status. It has been outlawed in many countries like Kenya but still some school students have gone beyond administrative restrictions

One popular gospel artist Jimmy Gait was under attack in June 2016 after his release of a song titled "Yesu ndiye Sponsor" (Sponsor being a name corrupted by Kenyans to mean a man or a woman especially elderly ones who finance the lifestyles of younger men or women for sexual favours.) People felt his choice of the title of the song was disrespectful to God. This bashing made him shade tears on a national TV – NTV when narrated about his critics and how they forgot the good he hard done in the past makehim look like trash. In 2016 former Citizen TV anchor Julie Gichuru was attacked by some Kenyans on social media who believed being a role model and a respectable public figure shouldn't have been involved in betting and especially paying very low bonuses by his company Mcheza to gamers. She was accused of even being a partaker of her father-inlaws corrupt deals – Samuel Gichuru Whom human rights activist Bonface Mwangi stated "Ever heard Julie Gichuru condemning corruption? She lives in a glass house. Her father is wanted in Jersye, her husband is suing Robert Alai (a blogger). Samuel gichuru won't be buried with what he stole from Kenya. He destroyed lives and economy. Gichuru (Julie etc.) will inherit stolen loot." When hashtag #StandwithJuliegichuru came up she stated.


take their lives. Cases in reference: Consider the case of Belinda Akinyi who committed suicide by throwing herself into oncoming traffic near kabete Police station on waiyaki way after having taken her daughter and househelp on an "outing". She was bullied on facebook by a popular facebook group; Buyer beware – Kenya (ORIGINAL) with about 87,000 members, after posting about the defilement of her three-year-old daughter. Unfortunately the police officer who was assigned the case demanded for sex favour before helping her and out of desperation she gave in. But after sleeping with her, the officer disappeared, aggravating her stress. "Brenda has been going through a lot and she was always online and depression was eating into her for lack of help," said Ms Nyakerario (one of herclose friends). "They bashed and ridiculed her and she felt the world was against her." Some of her friends who are members of the group said that in the week leading to her death, some members of the group had stepped up attacks against Ms Akinyi, with their line of argument being that she was faking the defilement story. Aliah D.

Producer

A film producer is responsible for overseeing all the aspects of a film from the very conception and writing of the story, the acquisition of funding, the artwork used for retail release, finalizing the actors, locations, etc. While there are a number of other professionals who assist film producers, such as directors, cinematographers, editors; in the end it is the film producer who makes sure that all the production components are working together through all phases of the filmmaking process.

As such there are no specific educational requirements to become a producer; Production and arts management degree programs are available for those who wish to obtain formal training. Common subjects in these programs include television and film production, acting, writing, finance, business administration, communications and the history of cinema.

The ongoing rocket attacks by Palestinian Authority terrorists in Gaza have drawn some unusual reactions. The United Nations Secretary-General condemned PA rocket attacks, while the far-left Meretz-New Movement Party has called for "uncompromising" military action in Gaza.

In a statement issued by his spokesperson on Wednesday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon "condemns today's rocket attacks on southern Israel." He "is gravely concerned about the situation in Gaza and southern Israel and the potential for further violence and civilian suffering if calm is not restored."

PA terrorists have fired nearly 100 rockets and mortars at Jewish towns and villages in the southern


part of the country in the space of two days, leading to various degrees of damage and ongoing trauma for residents of the targeted communities. Israel has carried out several low-level air strikes targeting rocket launchers, the rocket-launching cells, and the sites they use for firing their projectiles. In addition, the crossings connecting the Palestinian Authority in Gaza with the rest of Israel have been closed to traffic for eight days, ever since Hamas stepped up its rocket barrages on Israeli targets.

The UN Office for the Coordination for Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA) complained that "ongoing closures have significantly reduced the capacity of UN humanitarian agencies to provide assistance in the event of an escalation in violence." The UN is "facing severe difficulties in implementing their regular programs." In hisleft. The Socialist Party, at 10.5%, came in third nationwide.

One of the great pleasures of being a bibliophile, or lover of books, is discovering a rare but enjoyable one written long ago. This particular book, Benjamin Franklin in Scotland and Ireland, 1759 and 1771, was written by J. Bennett Nolan in 1938, the year of my birth, and has a special attraction to me. You see, I never knew of Benjamin Franklin’s two tours of Scotland nor of his love of our auld country and its people. Ben had many Scottish friends in Philadelphia, and he actually “assisted in the outing of the St. Andrews Society of Philadelphia and joined in singing ‘The Bonnie Braes of Balwither’.” And it is recorded that he attended the Burns Night Supper at the St. Andrews Society there in 1762.

Benjamin Franklinright shows the front door. I made notes to find the Franklin house, as well as the statue of the great scientist, in the Passy suburb of Paris. Later I dug through books to find the haunts of another hero - big, bad Ernest Hemingway. So, in 2005, a trip to Scotland found us attending the Robert Burns World Federation meeting in Ayr, then taking a quick flight on British Airways from Manchester over to Paris, and finally back across the English Channel to London on another BA flight. What a great time! Paris meant a visit with Catherine LeGuay, our good Parisian friend from Susan’s days as corporate secretary of The Coca-Cola Company. Catherine now operates a great little bed-and-breakfast at 16, rue Linne in the heart


and the evening found me soaking my tired flat feet in the hotel bathroom. Lord, did they ache! On, now, to Franklin’s Craven Street home in London, the world’s greatest city at that time. He lived here for nearly 16 years over two different assignments or tours of duty from 1757 until 1775. The first tour was from 1757 through 1761. He returned for a round in 1764 for 11 more years. Both times he lived in the same house that today is 36 Craven Street, a five-minute walk from Trafalgar Square, and only a few minutes from Whitehall, the seat of England’s government. Actually, Franklin spent the majority of the last 33 years of his life residing outside the USA. So on that typical English day, coldmotorcycle escort, sirens blaring at full volume. Neither returned my wave! But the crowd squealed with delight and an audible buzz erupted as they passed.

Prince Charles and Camilla I’ll take Susan back to the Franklin house another day to visit the wonderful old dwelling that is now a functioning museum, study centre, and the only surviving house, including those in Philadelphia, where Franklin lived. In the meantime, I now receive the newsletter from the Craven Street museum to keep updated. Now hear this! From the heart of London, if you can believe it, came a message from across the pond this past spring inviting me to “celebrate the 4th of July at the Benjamin Franklin House, Wednesday, 4 July 2007.

FSA Scot, Dawsonville, GA, USA. Email: jurascot@earthlink.net This wealthy man, who is known to many of us today as Poor Richard, lived in the home of a refined widow, not a boarding house as some have written. During his time in London, Franklin decided to go north on vacation and accept the invitation extended to him and his son, William, by Lord Kames. Unlike his father, William remained loyal to the King after the outbreak of the War of Independence. He also served as Governor of New Jersey but split with his father over political views and was eventually arrested, spending two-and-a-half years in a Connecticut prison. Franklin had many friends in Scotland, mostly philosophers, professors, and men of science. He received several honors while in Scotland, includinga Doctor of Laws from the University of St. Andrews. The Rector who presided at the ceremony was Dr. David Shaw, and Franklin, impressed by the good Rector, said “I took much to Shaw.” He was made a Guild Brother of Edinburgh, a city of 50,000 people, which was just beginning to be called “The Athens of the North”. Then there was “the elevation of Benjamin Franklin as a Guild Brother of the town of St. Andrews”. He was feted wherever he went in Scotland and lived up to his reputation of a two-bottle man. The defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie had occurred a mere 14 years before Franklin’s visit, and it was also just before Scotland’s two greatest writers burst on the scene - Robert Burns and


In 1771, the 66-year-old Franklin made his way north again but this time by way of Ireland. The years were beginning to take a toll on the old philosopher. He was not as active or alert. His eyesight was beginning to diminish. His body was showing the effects of old age, yet he was to live another 19 years - eventful ones I might add. Benjamin Franklin still remained a loyal subject of King George. He loved England and he loved Scotland. He loved their people. The last thing in his mind was breaking away from all that he loved about England and working to establish a country called America. The author writes in 1938 about Stirling Castle saying, “The place has changed little since Franklin’s day but,of the thousands of American tourists who annually scramble over these same walls and admire the prospect of the Highland hills above the winding links of Forth, very few ever pause to think of Poor Richard puffing and panting along Stirling’s ramparts in 1771”. Another incident recorded by the author is worthy of our attention. On a walk from Edinburgh University where Franklin had met with his old friends Doctors Cullen, Black, and Munro, the author describes a scene about Franklin: “As he passed down the narrow College Wynd he could have noticed at the window of the second story a short swarthy woman holding an infant boy then eight weeks old. The house was that of Walter Scott, Writer to the Signet, the woman was his wife,


way back to London, Franklin made a point of going to Preston to meet the family of his son-in-law. He was greeted by Mrs. Mary Bache, the mother of twenty children. Ironically, because of his eleven-year assignment in London, Franklin had never met his son-in-law, Richard Bache. The family was delighted by the visit of this world renowned man, and they were particularly impressed by his affability and simplicity. He later sent the Bache family a portrait of himself. Upon his return to London he wrote, “My last expedition convinc’d me that I grow too old for Rambling…the Parting with friends one hardly expects ever again to see.” In Conclusion : Bits and Pieces British General John Burgoyne, the representative in Parliament for Preston, is the same GeneralBurgoyne who surrendered at Saratoga, New York, preventing the British from dividing New England from the rest of the colonies. After the war, some members of the Continental Congress wanted General Burgoyne brought back to America as they maintained he was still a prisoner of war. Franklin, serving in Paris at this time and perhaps remembering the good people and the good times of Preston, would have none of it and helped secure Burgoyne a parole. Franklin once said, “For my own part I find I love company, chat, a laugh, a glass, even a song, as well as ever”. And, at the end of the day, he would take cap and cane, head for the Temple Bar “on the top of which were still impaled the skulls


of the gallant Jacobites who had paid the forfeit of their support of the forlorn hope of the unhappy Prince Charlie”. Franklin and Edinburgh printer William Strahan had corresponded for over 20 years. They had bonded during their meetings in Scotland and also when Strahan visited Franklin in London while serving as a Member of Parliament. The American Revolution had caused a big riff in their relationship, and Franklin wrote a letter to Strahan saying, “Look to your hands, they are stained with the blood of your relations. You and I were long friends. You are now my enemy, and I am yours…” Yet, when Franklin was serving as America’s diplomatic agent in France, “the unperturbed printer sent over to Paris a present of Stilton cheese…” for Franklin’senjoyment. Some say Franklin wrote the letter but never mailed it. For the many Scottish lovers among us, “Sally Franklin in Philadelphia received a collection of Scots songs from Lady Dick”, a close friend of Franklin’s in Scotland which shows another connection to Ben’s relationship to Scots”. Sally is Ben’s daughter who married Richard Bache, and the couple named their son Benjamin Franklin Bache. Though he was accused of irregularity in religion, we find Franklin “involved in the negotiations which led to the election of the Reverend John Witherspoon of Paisley as President of the College of New Jersey at Princeton”. When a young Billy Patterson, future Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, heard of the appointment, he wrote to a friend, “Witherspoon is President. Mercy on me!

Pregnancy rates for mothers of infants with conotruncal cardiac malformations and mothers of healthy control infants were compared for a 3-year period. Mothers of infants who died of congenital heart disease had the highest pregnancy rates, followed by control mothers, and then by mothers of surviving infants with congenital heart disease. Comparison in relation to the number of living children showed similar subsequent pregnancy rates for mothers of deceased infants with congenital heart disease and mothers of control infants, but lower rates for mothers of surviving infants with congenital heart disease.

Therefore, as a method of treating the diseases occurring in the blood vessels, a treatment method of expanding blood vessel passages narrowed due to stenosis by using an implantation tool called a stent has been generally and frequently used.
When stenosis or occlusion occurs in vascular or nonvascular lumen in a human body, the stent is a general term for medical devices for the purpose of opening the lumen. The stent was first suggested by Charles R. Stent at the end of the 19th Century, while stent implantation was first attempted in the peripheral artery by Charles Dotter in 1969, and a stent having a single spiral structure was invented byMaass in the 1980s.
The stent placement surgery using the stent is most common in terms of most treatment methods for a cardiovascular disease due to a low restenosis effect and a previously proven treatment effect, and usage frequency and reliability of the stent have continuously increased. In addition, recently, research into localization of a drug-eluting stent (DES) in the country has also been actively ongoing.
The drug-eluting stent (DES) in which a drug is directly delivered to a cell or a tissue by coating the drug on a surface of the stent so as to reduce restenosis in the stent was developed and usage thereof has been gradually increased.
However, after the stent placement surgery, damage occurs in the blood vessel which induce proliferation of smooth muscle cells according to

The metallization step for the front contact, the metallization step for the rear contact, and the antireflective coating step are performed as separate processes, thereby adding complexity and cost. Also, the antireflective coating step is sometimes performed after the metallization step for the front contact, resulting in the antireflective coating covering the front contact. In such a case, another step, to remove portions of the antireflective coating, is required to access the front contact.

To keep the quantity of fuel in the cylinder at a requested value, actual fuel injection time must be determined under the consideration of both the phenomenon of adhesion of injected fuel and the phenomenon of sucking off of a part of the fuel film into the cylinder. However, in the conventional technique, actual fuel injection time is determined by subtracting the quantity of sucked-off fuel from the quantity of fuel injection which is determined to keep the quantity of fuel in the cylinder at a requested value under the consideration of only the phenomenon of adhesion of fuel. There arises a problem in that the determination of actual fuel injection time is not rational.
Further, in the multi-point fuel injection system, fuel


control must be carried out based on estimation of the quantity of fuel film for each cylinder in order to compensate the transient delay of fuel with high accuracy because the respective cylinders are different from each other in the quantity of fuel film and in the state of the injectors. In the conventional technique, however, the quantity of fuel film only in one cylinder is estimated for all cylinders, and there arises a problem in that the transient delay of fuel cannot be compensated with high accuracy.
Further, in the conventional technique, there is no consideration of the quantity of fuel film for each cylinder. In short, there is no consideration of the difference in the fuel transport characteristic of each cylinder. There arises therefore a problem in

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
SHAW, District Judge.
In 1990 the Major League Baseball clubs ("clubs") settled long-standing grievances with the Major League Baseball Players' Association ("Players' Association") over the clubs' collusion to interfere with the market for free agents. In settlement, the clubs collectively paid $280,000,000 into


clubs) was at all times material to the Complaint covered by a collective bargaining agreement effective January 1, 1980 ("the Basic Agreement").[2] The Basic Agreement sets the overall terms and conditions of players' employment that are collective in nature, including the establishment of minimum salaries and the provision of free agency rights to certain players.
Article XVIII of the Basic Agreement sets out the terms of free agency for major league players. Under the Basic Agreement, the term "free agents" refers to players in one of two situations. Re-entry free agents are players who have six years of service in the major leagues, and may elect to become free agents which in turn permits them to entertain employment offers from all of the other major league clubs. The secondeach Club, for his or her own benefit. Players shall not act in concert with other players and Clubs shall not act in concert with other Clubs. (emphasis added)
In addition to the Basic Agreement, each individual player signs a Uniform Player Contract ("UPC") with his employing club. The standard form of the UPC was negotiated collectively between the clubs and the Players' Association. Depending on an individual player's success in bargaining, his UPC may include a salary greater than the minimum provided in the Basic Agreement, bonuses, deferred compensation and any other special covenants or conditions of employment negotiated between the player and the team.
The Basic Agreement requires that grievances be submitted to an arbitration panel for resolution and binding arbitration. The Players' Association submitted grievances to arbitration


relating to the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons, asserting that the then 26 major league baseball clubs had violated Article XVIII(H) of the Basic Agreement by acting in concert with respect to the hiring of free agents. All three actions alleged that the players suffered damages from the violations of the Basic Agreement in these three years through at least 1990.
The arbitration panels concluded that the clubs had violated Article XVIII(H) of the Basic Agreement. Specifically, in all three actions, the arbitrators found that the clubs had, in fact, interfered with the contractual rights of the players before the 1986, 1987 and 1988 seasons by acting in concert (1) to preclude or hinder players who were free agents from leaving their previous clubs after the 1985 and 1986until the entire fund is distributed.
The Settlement Agreement did not establish sums that would be paid to individual players. That authority resides with the Players' Association, subject to approval by the arbitration panel. The Players' Association began the distribution process by drafting a framework for distribution ("Framework"), which the arbitrators approved on September 11, 1991.
Pursuant to the Framework, the Players' Association proposed its first partial distribution plan providing for payments to individual players whose claims for damages related to the 1986 and 1987 seasons, which was approved by the arbitrators with modifications on February 14, 1994. The Players' Association proposed two more partial distribution plans, which were approved by the arbitrator with modifications on January 10, 1995 and May 1, 1997, respectively. As the Framework required, and as


the parties had done in their overall Settlement Agreement, all three awards decisions distinguished damages awards from interest components. Interest was calculated at the U.S. government treasury bill rate, in accordance with the Settlement Agreement and Framework.
A few days after each of the award decisions, the custodian of the settlement account paid the awards to the designated players out of the Collusion Settlement Fund's checking account at the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York. The custodian has 26 separate checkbooks for this same checking account. Each check form is entitled "Custodian of the Collusion Settlement Account as Agent for [name of team]." Thus, each player's award in 1994, 1995 and 1997 was paid simultaneously from the funds of all 26 settling clubs, with each club paying 1/26thfor this Settlement Fund, the awards to Civic Center Corporation players were simultaneously and equally drawn from the commingled funds contributed by all 26 Major League Baseball clubs. Each of the 26 clubs' subaccounts was debited for 1/26th of the total awards to the Civic Center Corporation's former players.
Under the distribution scheme prepared by the Players' Association, the players were permitted to file non-salary claims, such as for loss of mobility, security, outside income and emotional distress. Distributions are made from the fund based on the arbitrator-approved Players' Association distribution plans. The fund administrator prepares checks for each individual player from one of 26 checkbooks, each which bears the name of a major league club, but which share one account number. Each check identifies the payor as "Custodian


to employ its employees by depressing their wages. While it took all the teams acting together to make the violation of the Basic Agreement effective, the harm incurred by each player was directly related to the team that employed him, who was able to get his services at a lower price or to not increase his salary because of the depression of salaries overall. Under these circumstances, the nexus between the payment and the employment relationship is sufficient for the clubs to qualify as employers of the persons receiving the settlement payments.

III. CONCLUSION
The Court concludes that plaintiff Civic Center Corporation will be granted summary judgment in part on Count I because, as the government concedes, the interest portions of these awards are not "wages" for purposes of 26in part and DENIED in part. (Doc. 20)
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendant United States shall refund $19,015.24 plus interest to the Civic Center Corporation.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendant United States' motion for partial summary judgment is GRANTED. (Doc. 20)
EDITOR'S NOTE:
NOTES
[1]  The Cardinals baseball team was owned by plaintiff Civic Center Corporation during a portion of the relevant time period, and by plaintiff St. Louis Cardinals, L.P., during the remaining time period. Whenever it is not confusing to do so, the Court will refer to both plaintiffs collectively as the plaintiffs.
[2]  The full name of the Basic Agreement is "Basic Agreement between The American League of Professional Baseball Clubs and the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs and Major League Player's Association."
[3]  For purposes


of this motion, the Court refers to both ownership entities as the Cardinals except where it is necessary to distinguish between the two ownership entities. The St. Louis Cardinals, L.P. shall be referred to as "SLLP" and the St. Louis National Baseball Club, Inc. shall be referred to as "SLNBC."
for Spanish immunology and transplant laboratories. These workshops were conducted during the years 2014-2016 and consisted of 17 participating laboratories typing a set of 20 samples. The presence/absence of 16 mandatory KIR loci (2DL1, 2DL2, 2DL3, 2DL4, 2DL5, 2DS1, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS4, 2DS5, 2DP1, 3DL1, 3DL2, 3DL3, 3DS1, and 3DP1) was evaluated per sample. Methods for KIR genotyping included polymerase chain reaction with the use of sequence-specific primers and sequence-specific oligoprobes. Consensus typing was reached in all samples, and the performance of laboratories in external proficiency testing was satisfactory in all cases. The polymorphism detected in the small sample studied in both workshops is indicative of an ample variety of KIR gene profiles in the Spanish population.


The coalition has been instrumental in spearheading the proposed Roseburg college, and Patterson’s economic development partnership has taken on a managing role for the coalition.

In March, George Fox signed on and agreed to run and manage the college. A private Christian school, it already has satellite campuses in Portland, Salem and Redmond and offers graduate programs that prepare mental health counselors, physical therapists and physician assistants.

Kelly Morgan, CEO of Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg, said in a statement, “George Fox is an established Oregon academic institution whose broad range of nationally accredited allied and mental health educational programs directly serve acute workforce needs shared by providers, including hospitals and medical facilities operated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.”

Morgan has played a leadership role in the project sinceretirees from California and other states move in,” Bantle said.

Currently, Douglas County’s only institution of higher education is Umpqua Community College, situated just north of Roseburg along the North Umpqua River. The nearest four-year school in southern Oregon, Southern Oregon University, is more than 100 miles from Roseburg in Ashland.

The college will offer bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, Patterson said. Now that the group has made significant progress raising money, Patterson, Morgan, and Oregonians for Rural Health say they are working out a more detailed timeline and plan for the college.

Bantle said the college will also offer an accelerated pathway for veterans with military medical experience, due to the project’s partnership with the Roseburg Veterans’ Affairs office. That would allow veterans who received medical training overseas to leverage
