Important Update on Canvas Commons
On January 3, 2017, Canvas Commons will automatically update and be switched from off to on. If you haven't used Commons yet, we urge you to check it out—we're a little biased, but it's pretty cool. Commons is a learning object repository that enables educators to find, import, and share resources. A digital library full of educational content, Commons allows Canvas users to share learning resources with other users as well as import learning resources into a Canvas course.
Here's what you can do with Commons:
• Create a personal learning object repository
• Build a course from scratch with relevant materials shared by other Canvas users
• Create a name for yourself and your institution as a subject matter expert
If you have any questions or don't wish to have Commons on, please contact your CSM directly.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the ways to conduct fertility treatment. But in a broader sense, it is much more: the real chance for infertile couples and people with hereditary diseases to finally be able to have their own child.Read more
Egg donation
For women who can't have their own children, there are egg donation programs. It's a great chance for them to finally become mothers. Our mission is to help those women feel the happiness of parenthood. We offer fresh egg donation as well as vitrified donor oocytes. The latter we keep in our special bank of vitrified oocytes.Read more
Egg donation
Surrogacy is the solution for couples that are not able to have children in a natural way, but still want to be parents. Long way of trying to conceive usually brings those families to surrogacy as the real option to make dreams come true. For example, it is a solution for women who have had surgery on the uterus and adnexa, such as hysterectomy because of myoma or uterine bleeding during previous childbirth. Other physical problems and diseases can also be reasons.Read more

Laocoon and His Sons
"Laocoön and His Sons" is one of the most famous ancient sculptures and a highlight of the Vatican Museums, ever since it was placed there on public display.
The statue depicts Laocoön, the priest of Apollo from the city of Troy, and his two sons. They are locked in the death coils of two serpents on the steps of an altar.
Trojan War
Troy in Asia Minor, now modern Turkey, was the site of the Trojan war, which was fought between the Greeks and Trojans for ten years (1194 to 1184 BC.).
The Greeks could not penetrate the giant walls of Troy or force a surrender. So, after ten years, the Greeks withdrew from the battle and left behind an enormous wooden horse statue as a tribute.
Laocoön tried to persuade the Trojan leaders not to bring the giant horse trophy inside the city walls of Troy.
The giant wooden horse left behind by the Greeks looked like a gift to the Trojans, and they believed the Greeks had withdrawn from battle to return to their homes.
The goddess Athena, who was the patron Goddess of the Athenians and protector of the Greeks during the Trojan War, brought forth from the sea two great serpents to kill Laocoön and his two sons, to prevent the priest from saving Troy.
Without Laocoön to warn the city of Troy, the Trojans misinterpreted this omen of the great serpents killing Laocoön and his two sons, and assumed the horse to be a tribute from the Greeks and brought it into the city, past all their defenses.
At night after the Trojans celebrated their supposed victory and had fallen asleep, Ulysses and his best Greek soldiers came out from inside their hiding place in the giant horse, opened the gates to the Greek army, which had sailed back in secret.
Having gained entry into the city, the Greeks defeated the Trojans.
Laocoön Sculpture
The Laocoön sculpture was first documented by the writer Pliny, the Elder who saw it in the Imperial Palace of Emperor Titus. It was commissioned by the emperor in the first century A.D. and made by sculptors from Rhodes as a copy of a bronze Greek original from the 2nd century B.C.
The Laocoön sculpture was buried and lost during the turbulent times at the end of the Roman Empire. It was rediscovered in 1506 near the Domus Aurea of Nero.
When the statue was discovered in a vineyard, Pope Julius II was informed. The Pope was an enthusiastic classicist and sent his court artist, Michelangelo, to determine its worth and supervise the unearthing of the statue.
The statue was placed on public view in a niche in the wall of the Belvedere Garden at the Vatican, which is now part of the Vatican Museums
This heroic nude with powerful muscular and accurate anatomical detail was much admired by many Renaissance artists and influenced many of their work.
Michelangelo made many drawings of the Laocoön and His Sons. Michelangelo started working on his Vatican frescoes in the Sistine Chapel just two years after studying this statue.
The Influence of the Laocoön
The influence of the Laocoön is evidenced in many of Michelangelo's sculptures, such as the "Rebellious Slave" and the "Dying Slave," created for the tomb of Pope Julius II.
Another critical Renaissance painter, Raphael, used the face of Laocoön for his portrait of Homer in his Parnassus painting in the Raphael Rooms, expressing blindness rather than pain.
The sculpture also influenced many French artists when it was seized and taken to Paris by Napoleon Bonaparte after his conquest of Italy in 1799.
It was installed in a place of honor in the Musée Napoléon at the Louvre for nearly 15 years. Following the fall of Napoleon, it was returned by the Allies to the Vatican in 1816.
We can also see the influence of this statues reputation in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. In which Ebenezer Scrooge describes himself as "making a perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings," a reference to the statue, as Scrooge is in such a great rush to get dressed that he becomes entangled in his clothes.
Homer does not mention the story of Laocoön in his telling of the story of Troy, but it was the subject of a tragedy, now lost, by Sophocles and was cited by other Greek writers.
The most famous account is in Virgil's Aeneid, where Laocoön was a priest of Poseidon or Neptune for the Romans, was killed with both his sons after attempting to expose the ruse of the Trojan Horse by striking it with a spear.
Virgil gives Laocoön the famous line:
"Do not trust the Horse, Trojans
Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even bearing gifts."
This line is the source of the saying: "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts."
In Aeneid, Virgil describes the circumstances of Laocoön's death:
"At the same time, he stretched forth to tear the knots with his hands
his fillets soaked with saliva and black venom
at the same time he lifted to heaven horrendous cries:
like the bellowing when a wounded bull has fled from the altar
and has shaken the ill-aimed axe from its neck."
The Moral of the Laocoön Story
In Virgil's version of the story, the deaths were interpreted by the Trojans as proof that the horse was a sacred object. In Sophocles' version of the story, Laocoön was a priest of Apollo. He should have been celibate but had married against his vow.
The serpents killed only the two sons, leaving Laocoön himself alive to suffer. In other versions of Laocoön's story, the snakes were sent by Poseidon to killed him for having committed blasphemy by making love with his wife in the presence of a cult image in a sanctuary.
The different versions have somewhat different moral endings. In the Roman conclusion, Laocoön was punished for being right. In the Greek version of the end, Laocoön was punished for doing wrong.

Organizational Misconduct
With a nationwide practice of more than 30 years' experience, the Lathrop GPM team counsels organizations across the country – schools, universities, day care centers, churches, religious orders and institutions, athletic and other nonprofit groups and for-profit employers – in connection with the investigation, defense and prevention of sexual misconduct claims.
Our team has defended hundreds of sexual misconduct claims across the country, including high-profile cases that have received extensive media attention. We have a thorough understanding of the applicable law, complex discovery issues and the leading experts. While some cases have necessitated trials and appeals, many have been resolved through successful pre-trial dispositive motions, or through an individual or group arbitration or mediation process. When claims do result in liability, our insurance recovery specialists work with clients to establish and enforce coverage by their carriers.
Early-Stage Assessment and In-Depth Investigation
We are prepared to challenge one-sided narratives from the media and victim advocacy groups that often demand immediate accountability and transparency. With early stage engagement, we help our clients assess the veracity of allegations, which are deeply personal and often criminal in nature.
Our team takes pride in its ability to develop relationships with fact witnesses who initially may be reluctant to offer information or testimony. We have tracked down witnesses for decades-old claims and worked closely with criminal defense lawyers and law enforcement officers to fully investigate misconduct allegations. We have interviewed incarcerated persons to gather crucial information and have collaborated with European lawyers and foreign police organizations to investigate assaults allegedly committed overseas.
Prevention and Policy Counseling
Our team works with clients proactively to prevent misconduct and avoid attendant liability. We regularly create, review and revise misconduct policies and help our clients design and implement claims processing and management protocols.
An Aggressive Defense that is Attentive to Victims' Rights
When called for, we aggressively challenge misconduct claims on the facts and law. Where allegations are credible, we help clients fashion appropriate methods of victim assistance. We also understand the sensitive nature of sexual misconduct and the impact it has on victims, other constituencies and the public at large.
Our range of services includes:
- Developing strategies, internal policies and processes to reduce the risk of future sexual misconduct and claims
- Investigating sexual misconduct allegations, with a careful but detailed approach that considers the sensitive and often high-profile nature of these claims
- Early use of dispute resolution techniques to resolve claims prior to litigation
- Engaging national experts and other specialists, including psychiatrists, criminologists and First Amendment scholars
- Defending lawsuits in trial and appellate courts across the country
- Navigating collective bargaining agreements and the intricacies of alleged Title IX infringements, First Amendment encroachments and local statute and ordinance violations
- Enforcing insurance coverage and recovering costs, which may include performing an insurance archeology to locate older policies and piece together coverage from a client's missing or incomplete files
- Consulting on insurance strategies to better protect clients from future claims
- Evaluating claims and responses on a continuing basis ("lessons learned") to prevent future misconduct and avoid future claims
Representative Experience
- Obtained a complete dismissal of a Texas lawsuit against a California diocese and its bishop. An adult plaintiff alleged a Texas seminary student sexually assaulted him as a minor. The Court of Appeals held there was no personal jurisdiction over the diocese or its bishop because they lacked sufficient minimum contacts with Texas. For example, they did not operate in Texas, did not control the seminary or the student and had no notice or knowledge of the alleged misconduct. Roman Catholic Bishop of San Bernardino v. Doe, Case. No. 04-19-000153-CV (Tex. App.—San Antonio [14th Dist.] July 25, 2019).
- Obtained a complete dismissal of a private high school and an affiliated diocese in an action involving a volunteer coach who sexually assaulted a member of the girls' softball team. A prompt and thorough investigation by our team allowed the client to assess its liability risks and whether its policies had been followed. The trial court granted motions arguing there was no duty to protect the plaintiff from sexual assaults that were unrelated to any school activity and occurred on private property.
- Defended a national manufacturer of home cleaning products where three female members of a marketing team alleged they were sexually assaulted and harassed by their supervisor. The supervisor was a convicted sex offender who, despite express warnings by the company that he was not authorized to sell products, used aliases and fraud to avoid detection by the company and to mislead the plaintiffs.
- Served as lead counsel in the seminal case Gibson v. Brewer, 952 S.W.2d 239 (Mo. 1997), where the Missouri Supreme Court determined that the prosecution of certain negligence actions against a religious organization violate the First Amendment. This opinion has been cited in more than 300 cases in 17 different states.
- Represented a Roman Catholic diocese in a group settlement of 52 claims and a subsequent group settlement of 32 claims, resulting in per-claimant awards of less than one-third the national average.
- Served as lead trial and appellate counsel in a multi-defendant lawsuit and appeal in which the court of appeals affirmed that the statute of repose barred an adult plaintiff's claims arising from an alleged assault during a counseling session when he was a minor. The opinion strengthens defenses available to religious organizations by clarifying that the statute of repose cannot be tolled because of a defendant's allegedly fraudulent failure to disclose allegations of abuse to parishioners. Doe v. Popravak, 421 P.3d 760 (Kan. Ct. App. 2017).
- Obtained a complete dismissal of all claims against a religious organization in a case involving claims of sexual abuse. The plaintiff filed several amended petitions with new and revised factual allegations, which resulted in several dispositive motions that led to the case being dismissed in entirety. The dismissal was affirmed on appeal, and both the Missouri Supreme Court and United States Supreme Court denied requests for additional review. P. Doe v. Catholic Diocese of Kan. City-St. Joseph, 432 S.W.3d 213 (Mo. Ct. App. 2014).
- Served as lead trial and appellate counsel in a case in which an adult plaintiff claimed that a priest abused him in the 1970s at a private residence and a hotel. The trial court agreed with our church client that it could not be held liable for abuse that occurs on property that is not owned or operated by the church and is not related to any church activity. The court of appeals affirmed the dismissal and the Missouri Supreme Court, after a request for briefing from the firm, declined to grant further appellate review. T. v. Catholic Diocese of Kan. City-St. Joseph, 419 S.W.3d 143 (Mo. Ct. App. 2013).

Make Sustainable Chemicals with Corn
Why this challenge?
Field corn production in the United States has increased from 4.2 billion bushels/year (a bushel is ca. 36 liters) in 1970 to 13.6 billion bushels/year in 2015. As of 2017, there is a field corn surplus of 1.8 billion bushels. Farmers' continued efficient production drives the need for new uses for field corn.
The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) strategic plan includes a goal to establish three new uses that each utilize 25 million bushels or more by 2020.
Field corn production makes incredible contributions to human nutrition as a primary source of feed for cattle, hogs and poultry; to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gases as the source of ethanol fuel; and to the economy.
The "Consider Corn Challenge" invited innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists and academics to find new uses for field corn by exploring how field corn can be used as a feedstock for making sustainable chemicals and accelerating society's shift to a thriving bio-based community.
The six winners of the first "Consider Corn Challenge" shared a total prize pool of up to $150,000 in the form of up to 6 prizes of $25,000 each.
The winners focused their responses on methods to make chemicals and polymer precursors from renewable corn, enabling corn growers to supply starting materials typically derived from petroleum and eventually producing consumer goods more sustainably.
For instance, one of the winners, Lygos, Inc., produces from corn sugar a Bio-Malonic™ acid used for acrylic-like polymers for composites, coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals.
Since then, Lygos, Inc. has been able to secure $15.5 million of Series B financing to accelerate commercialization of Bio-Malonic™ acid and other bio-products.
NCGA lauched in 2018 a second Challenge to end in the course of 2019.

A recovery in the market for mortgage-backed securities will require greater transparency and less complexity, as well as comprehensive and standardized loan-level data that will allow more independent credit analysis, in the view of Federal Reserve Board Governor Randall Kroszner. In remarks at a Fed seminar on the mortgage markets, he sketched a scenario under which investors may gradually regain confidence in mortgage securitization.

Creation of more below-market-rate housing is one of several reasons for reconsidering building height limits in certain parts of the District. It's a worthy goal. But without other regulatory and fiscal measures, allowing taller buildings and higher density will not necessarily increase the city's affordable-housing stock.
Developing housing for sale or rent at below-market rates always requires economic subsidies, which can take many forms and come from various public- or private-sector sources. Although raising height limits potentially can expand housing in the aggregate and slow demand-induced price inflation, it will not inherently yield subsidies or subsidized dwelling units.
Additional public strategies are needed to ensure that increasing height and density will augment affordable housing. And the most fiscally and politically feasible strategy is conditional zoning, in which a developer is allowed greater density in exchange for agreeing to provide below-market units. This must be coupled with affordable-housing investment incentives and other kinds of subsidy.
For conditional zoning to be workable and equitable for a given project, the value or cost of the land underlying that project must continue to be based on the density allowed by the site's preexisting zoning. That's because allowing additional height and density dedicated uniquely to affordable housing creates, in effect, a land cost subsidy for the affordable units. All of the base land cost is allocated entirely to the housing development's market-rate units.
Without that approach, conditional zoning can be ineffective and unfair. Requiring below-market units in a market-rate housing project, with no offsetting land-cost or other cost reductions, means that the project's market-rate buyers or tenants subsidize the affordable units, which cost just as much to develop as the market-rate units. That's why land-cost subsidy alone is often insufficient to make units affordable for many low- and moderate-income families.
To further reduce purchase prices and rental rates, other forms of subsidy are available, such as real estate tax abatement and long-term mortgage financing at below-market interest rates, obtained through federal, state and municipal housing finance programs. Federal tax policy also indirectly provides subsidy by granting private-sector investors substantial tax credits for helping finance affordable-housing projects.
Developing affordable-housing units today, and in the foreseeable future, depends on cobbling together multiple forms of subsidy drawn from diverse sources. Conditional zoning is one important source. But given the number of households needing a decent and affordable place to live, zoning-related incentives can never be the only source.
Like other cities, counties and states, the District faces an additional challenge beyond expanding affordable-housing production: ensuring that the existing supply doesn't diminish. Since the 1980s, the inventory of subsidized housing affordable to America's low- and moderate-income households has been steadily shrinking, not growing. That is another reason to revisit D.C. building height limits and relevant public policies affecting housing affordability.

Morphology Matters: Using Knowledge of Bases & Affixes to Build Reading, Spelling, and Vocabulary Skills
Most curricula and standards recognize the importance of morphology (or the study of roots and affixes to guide vocabulary instruction) as early as 2nd grade. Recognizing that schooling often provides word study only at the primary level, this workshop picks up where basic word attack leaves off.
All too soon students are introduced to textbooks filled with longer, multisyllabic words. Even with effective basic phonics instruction, readers are often unable to handle both the increased quantity of text and its complexity. An understanding of morphology, or the meaning parts that comprise words, is valuable for the development of vocabulary and word attack skills.
In this interactive, hands-on workshop, Van Cleave engages participants in a brief overview of the origins of our language and characteristics of the major languages of influence, an introduction to morphological awareness, and then (as time permits) a study of advanced word decoding strategies. Participants practice with each concept and learn tools useful for helping students understand and decode unfamiliar words.

CARB Before Horse
States: A court has tentatively ruled against California's cap-and-trade law because alternatives were not considered. But then, neither were climate facts or the economic impact.
There's a delicious irony in the ruling by San Francisco Superior Court Judge Ernest Goldsmith barring the California Air Resources Board (CARB) from implementing AB32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.
In the opinion of the court, CARB failed to complete the required environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act because it did not adequately analyze the legislation to see if there are better ways to get the job done.
One of the plaintiffs in the case is the Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment, a group of rabid environmentalists who backed the passage of AB32. More

I really have no interest in sports like basketball. I think I only get a little bit excited when I'm cheering for DLSU vs. ATENEO during UAAP season haha! Well, I really had no idea what the FIBA Asia Championships were, aside from the fact that hubby kept watching basketball on TV everyday last week. Last Saturday, hubby invited me to come along for a dinner with his colleagues since all the wives were coming along too. :) Since it was apparently the semi-finals match between the Philippines and Korea, they decided to have the dinner in Overtime Sports Bar in BF so we could all watch the game.
It was my first time ever to watch a game in a bar and let me tell you, the atmosphere and level of excitement is really different! At home, I'm sure I wouldn't even have batted an eyelash at the TV, but watching it with a crowd really gets your heart pumping. The crowd was cheering and shouting and jumping everytime the Philippine team made a shot. And I found myself cheering and shouting and jumping along with them too! It was really a well-deserved victory for the team. Before, I wouldn't have been able to tell you a single name of a basketball player but now, I know their names and faces already haha! I love Jimmy Alapag and Marc Pingris! Oh, and that #14 player from Korea is so cute hahaha! All the girls were gushing over him haha! ;p
Well, I have to say that after watching that match, I am now a certified Team Gilas fan! Hubby was able to watch the championship match live against Iran and I watched at home (kulang un ticket e haha!). And although they failed to win the championship, it's still an honor because they get to go to Spain in 2014 and play with the best in the world. So again congrats to Team Gilas! Laban Pilipinas! :)

Have you ever played the whisper game? You know the one where you say something to someone and then it's passed on and what the end result is, is totally different to what the first sentence is.
Hearing Things from Hasbro is slightly similar to this only you have to guess what someone is whispering.
You play as a team of two. One wears the headphones and tries to guess what their partner is saying. The only thing is that you need to switch the headphone on and you can hear a cacophony of sound which makes it so much harder to decipher what your partner is saying. You have to lip read instead of hearing.
To decide what you say there is a deck of cards to choose from. Pick the card from the top of the deck and whisper what's on it. There are completely random phrases on the cards. Each card has 4 phrases and there are 150 cards in all.
There's also a time limit so you do have to guess quickly.
We had a great time playing the game. It was hilarious trying to decipher what one's partner was saying and we ended the game is fits of giggles most of the time.
The game requires 2 AAA batteries which are not included.
Hearing Things is priced at £19.99 and is a great family games. Since it involves only headphones and cards, it is easy to carry around and is perfect to play while on holiday.

Le Jour de l'an has traditionally been a time of great importance within French-Canadian families as it was the occasion when children would ask for their father's blessing. Alas this is another tradition that has been lost to common knowledge with the decline of the Catholic Church in Quebec and now throughout much of Canada. An opportunity to strengthen family ties is lost to the omni-present hangover that afflicts so many in the wake of "ringing in" the New Year.
The faith assumptions of many bishops and priests who are "of a certain age", (at least within Canada, pre-1965) are no longer understood or even held as relevant by the majority of the generation that is now coming into power in the political, social and economic spheres of western societies. I fear that now is the time when the sad truth of Richard Neuhaus' maxim ("that which is permitted will soon be found to be obligatory") will be realized. This mean that the Church will soon face many challenges to its right to practice as 'equality' legislation will be interpreted by civil authorities with an ever greater prejudice against the freedom of religion, at least as it is expressed within the public square.
These are the bitter fruits that are the catechetical failures of the Canadian Church of the past 40+ years, in the wake of Vatican II.
Although, I do believe that those who would blame that momentous Council for the current state of affairs are in error. If those responsible for ensuring the cathechetical preparation of the faithful since the 1960's and 70's had actually done as the documents of the Council called them to do (practicing both Aggiornamento and Ressourcement) then we would not be in the mess that we are in today: facing an un-evangelized generation hostile to the rights of faith.
What is the answer? "Better late than never" would sum up the best response to the current situation. We need Catholic leaders to better use the various media's at their disposal to argue for the rights and consequences of religious freedom, using language understandable to the general population of today.
These leaders need to step forward from both the clergy and laity alike to carry the values of faith into the everyday parlance of daily life. Even as a priest who has an ear to listen for such voices, I can find few, if any leaders in Canada (Archbishop Pendergast and Bishop Henry being stellar examples of Catholic Episcopal exceptions) stepping up to engage the media in teaching and explaining the propositions of our Catholic faith.
In my life, I have had the opportunity to live under two Pope John Paul's and I hold both as person models for ministry. Cardinal Albino Luciani, who became John Paul I had an amazing gift of explaining the tenets of the faith in an manner that was both engaging and effective to many Catholics in the wake of the papacy of Paul VI. His response to the birth of Louise Brown, the world's first 'test tube baby' (when asked if he sent roses to the mother as some sort of papal approval of IVF, he replied that theologians would help to make clear the response of the Church, he was simply sharing in the joy of God bringing to life a daughter into the Brown's family) won more souls for Christ than any pamphlet published by a Bishop's Conference. Like his successor, he understood the power of symbol and action in approaching today's culture, something he was able to accomplish in his all too short pontificate. We need priests and bishops who can function in our culture who can effectively do the same in the difficult days that now faces us.
What we need, is for our 'spiritual Father's' to truly bring to us Christ's blessing as this new year begins.
2010 would then be off to a great start, the first of many to come!
Happy New Year to one and all!
Fr. Tim

California State Senator Richard Roth (D-Riverside) introduced Senate Bill (SB) 461 to the California Legislature on February 21. If passed, the bill will extend Cal Grant to cover summer classes.
The bill is sponsored by the Coalition for a Better UC (CBUC) in partnership with the UC Student Association (UCSA) and the UC Office of the President (UCOP). It also has the support of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges (SSCCC) and Cal State Students Association (CSSA).
This is CBUC's second attempt at extending the distribution of Cal Grant to summer session. Last year, the organization introduced Assembly Bill (AB) 3153, but it ultimately died in committee. CBUC Chair Kuvimbanashe Edwin Chikukwa told The Triton that UCSA is in the process of creating a budget funding request of approximately $110 million to fund the Cal Grant extension.
"We must have mechanisms in place to assure [sic] our college students are successful. Students will enroll in summer session courses if there is sufficient aid to allow them to afford the higher tuition and fees," Roth said in a press release. "If we don't listen to what our students are telling us they need, we not only continue to fail them, but we fail as a state."
According to data from the UC Information Center, over 75,000 students in the UC system received a Cal Grant award in the 2017–18 school year—around 8,600 of which were for UCSD students.
"Although the federal government expanded the Pell Grant to summer based on this research, students are still reluctantly avoiding summer courses because[of] insufficient aid, which makes summer courses unaffordable," said a UC Student Association press release. "SB 461 will help remedy this problem by allowing low income students…to take the summer courses they need to pursue a degree in a timely manner."
SB 461 would allow students to receive aid for up to two summer terms, each up to nine units. It would not increase the maximum amount of aid a student can receive in four years. For transfer students, the bill allows funding for one summer term of up to nine units.
Overall, Chikukwa says the bill has a greater chance of passing the legislature this year than the bill that failed last year.
"This year we have the support of SSCCC, CSSA, UCSA, and a couple higher education interest groups," Chikukwa said. "Not only that, but the California Student Aid Commission [a nonpartisan organization that administers financial aid] supports it as a way towards reform. There is definitely a stronger coalition this year."

35mm film scan (Ilford FP4)
Colonia Fara was a summer camp for children built during the fascist regime in Chiavari (Italy). It was used as military hospital during WWII and, after the war, as hotel and school.
The building was abandoned and left in decay for several years (some pictures are here) and, nowdays (2016) is under renovation. It will host a hotel, a SPA and several apartments.

Adelaide has secured promising midfielder Wayne Milera Junior for a further three years.
Milera was the Club's first pick (No.11 overall) in the 2015 National Draft.
The 19-year-old was selected to debut in round one of his first season and has played 11 AFL games.
He's averaging 17 possessions this season at an elite efficiency of 82.4 per cent.
The agile and skillful ball winner collected a career-high 23 possessions, five marks and a goal against Greater Western Sydney in Round One.
South Australian Milera said he was happy to be staying at the Club until at least 2020.
"I grew up supporting Adelaide, so to be able to continue my time here is fantastic," Milera said.
"It's a really positive environment at the Crows with a great playing group, and that's something I want to be a part of."
Crows Head of Football Brett Burton said Milera had a long future at West Lakes.
"We are thrilled to have Wayne re-sign with us," Burton said.
"Over his first season and a half at the Club we've seen that he certainly has the talent to succeed at the highest level.
"We love his work ethic and attitude and we look forward to seeing him continue to develop over the next few years."
Milera was recruited from SANFL club Central District, where he made his league debut at the age of 17.

Your daily dose of advertising awesomeness from around the world!
Today's pick:
- Agency: Y&R
- Location: Chicago
- Client: Craftsman (tool manufacturer)
- Name: "Sandpaper"
Why I like it: This is an outdoor poster, and the hand outline (in white) is printed on sandpaper. Get it? Tom O'Keefe, the North American ECD at Draftfcb had thing about creativity having to be "simple enough". Not over the top, but not simplistic either. Just simple enough. I think this one qualifies. It's got humor, a nice art design, it's well written, and it's got an "invitation to interact" that doesn't feel gimmicky, because it's rooted in the insight and the joke. It's a lot to be said for a poster! Some of you may know that last year I walked to work in Chicago every morning and afternoon, always looking for cool OOH. I wish I were there to have seen this one! Congrats to the folks at Y&R Chicago, this is really nicely done, and just simple enough.

Green Party London Assembly Member Speaks Out on Bristol Public Transport
Jenny Jones, one of the Green Party members of the London Assembly, will visit Bristol today to help highlight the importance of improving the city's public transport network. She will be discussing some of Bristol's key transport issues as she teams up with local Greens on the election campaign trail.
Jenny, who advised former London mayor Ken Livingstone on transport and road safety, said:
"It's vital that big cities like Bristol have fully integrated, affordable and reliable public transport. How can we expect to get people out of their cars and walking, cycling or using public transport if the roads are dangerous and the public transport links are poor and cost a lot? It should also be simple to use: Bristol Greens want to introduce an integrated ticketing system like the Oyster card, which has made travelling in London for both residents and visitors so much easier."
Rob Telford, Green Party candidate in Ashley and co-organiser of the recent campaign calling on FirstBus to 'Make Fares Fair, said: "Bristol has so much public transport potential and its one of the Green Party's priorities to improve the network. The Greens want to bring the buses back under public control, improve the local railway network, and build a public transport hub next to Temple Meads to increase accessibility to the network. We'd also continue to develop pedestrian areas and increase provision for cycle paths."
Daniella Radice, Green Party candidate in Bishopston, said: "With people having to travel further and further to find work it's vital that Bristol has a public transport system that supports both them and their families. Public transport should be fully accessible to everyone and the Greens will work to ensure that travelling with a pushchair or a wheelchair becomes significantly easier. We support citywide 20mph limits to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety around our city."
Among other campaigns, Green Party members supported the 'Make Fares Fair' and 'Action for Rail' campaigns as well as the ongoing FOSBR (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways) campaign to improve the local rail network.

Uri attack: 2 soldiers given tearful adieu by Jammu, Samba people
Jammu, Sep 19: The people of Jammu and Samba districts today bid a tearful adieu to the two brave-heart jawans, who died fighting the terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri yesterday.
The mortal remains of Sub Karnail Singh and Hav Ravi Paul of 10 DOGRA were cremated with full military honours in their native hamlets of Shibu Chak (Tehsil Bishnah) of Jammu district and Ramgarh village of Samba district today.
A pal of gloom descended the bordering villagers here after the mortal remains of the two soldiers arrived after being flown to Jammu. Special Indian Airforce helicopter flew in the mortal remains of Singh and Paul of 10 DOGRA at the Technical Area Airforce Station Jammu.
The wreath laying of the two jawans was done by Kavinder Gupta, Speaker J&K legislative Assembly, Ministers- Bali Bhagat, Zulfkar Ali, Chander Parkash Ganga, Jugal Kishore MP, and MLAs -Sat Sharma, Rajesh Gupta.
The wreath was laid on behalf of Dr Jitender Singh, MoS PMO, Ravinder Rana, MLA, Pawan Kotwal, Divisional Commissioner, Danesh Rana, IGP, brotherin-laws of martyr Sub Karnail Singh, Bhav Singh and Devi Raj Saini, Major General Sanjeev Sharma, General Officer Commanding Tiger Division, Air Commodore Ashutosh Lal, Brigadier Randir Singh and other Senior Officers from the Civil Administration and the Army.
The mortal remains were taken to respective hamlets in Jammu and Samba districts. A large number of people had converged at both the places to bid a final adieu to the two soldiers. After final bugle and gun salutes by Army, the duo were cremated amid presence of the family, top officials and huge number of people.
In a programme organized by BJP, State President & MLA Sat Sharma, State General Secretary Ashok Kaul and other leaders paid tributes to the soldiers killed in the Uri terror attack.
Sat Sharma, on this occasion, said that "the fidayeen attack in Uri at the behest of Pakistan is the worst kind of inhuman act and is highly condemnable".
"The terrorist attack at army brigade, which resulted into sacrifices of our brave soldiers, has shook the entire nation and the time has come when Union government should adopt a clear and decisive strategy to teach Pakistan a lesson.
"Whatever the nation is facing in Jammu and Kashmir is due to the blunders committed by Congress under its appeasement policy which promoted separatism and encouraged Pakistan to impose direct and proxy wars against India in Kashmir," he said.
J&K Congress condemned the Uri attack and termed it as a "serious security lapse". Vikram Malhotra- General Secretary Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee expressed deep shock and pain over the death of Army personnel and conveyed heartfelt sympathies to the family members of the soldiers.
Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industries (JCCI) held a homage meeting here and condemned the outrageous and cowardice attack by terrorists on Army's Brigade Headquarters yesterday in which 18 Army soldiers were killed.

Discussion in 'tsAddicts SC Keeper League' started by Len, Mar 23, 2016.
The Addicts home of banter
Is there a way to see which team our opponents have selected?
Would be more interesting if we could track scores across the round.
Check this space next weekend.
"the list' (tm) strikes again.
The Who Dats lineup, assuming no late changes;
DEFENDER Alex Rance, Corey Enright
MIDFIELDER Adam Treloar, Andrew GAFF, Steele Sidebottom
RUCK Zachary SMITH
FORWARD Luke DAHLHAUS , Devon Smith
EMERGENCY Kieren Jack
Phooey - Id crush that team
We are about to find out, I sense someone feels threatened lol
I've sucked for so long I can't even find the corner to turn
But I think I have you beat!! Maybe.....
Barring late outs.
Top Me Ups vs Flapp My Bird Up
D: Langdon, Lonergan
M: Sloane, Hanners, T Mitch
R: Sauce
F: Breust, De Goey
D: Shaw, Gibson
M: Priddis, Hartlett, Macrae
R: Goldy
F: Robbo, TT Lynch
Like some twisted Hitchcock sequel, these birds will no doubt torment us again this year.
Len - I actually didn't even know I was up agst you in this opening round - I was just trying to be a brat
Anyway - sNoZ's mob this weekend:
DEF: McGov / Doch (118)
MID: Danger / Wines / Adams
FWD: Harvey / Hogan
RCK: Witts
IC/E: Bont
Sacrilege that Bontempelli isn't onfield. Bloody trade him to me if you're not even going to start him!
Hahahaha - as I casually tossed Bont aside to take a seat on the bench, I thought Jase is going to be pi$$ed !!!
The Untouchables R1 lineup is:
DEF: Boyd, Roberton
MID: Pendlebury, Thompson, Shuey
FWD: Gunston, Higgins
RUC: Gawn
INT: Duncan
Major Round 1 bad luck for Nomad Wildebeest with KK a late out and Swan breaking his leg and foot.
That is shit luck on a stick...
Who Dats are 4/397
5/459 - gunning for you Len but probs not enuf
Flappy Mc Flapp flapp up by 50 ish with one each to play.
TMG 639/7 vs Flap 687/7
Priddis scoring 2 billion hasn't helped.
Apparently TiBby and I are matched up which is always a pleasure. No idea what you team you have fielded Terry (albeit I guess your mate JJ figured) but here is where CCF are:
D: Rampe (79) Birchall (today)
M: GAJ (139) Lewis (today) Sam Mitchell (today)
R: Blicavs (today)
F: Montagna (83) No one ()
I/C: Gibbs (116)
So: 417/4
KK being a late-out didn't cost me as I have got Ebert is an emergency and at the moment he is Nomad's top scorer with 120. Swan's injury certainly has hurt and resulted in a donut for the Wildebeest's and Swanny tweeted after the game about him getting donuts on his stats line for the first time in his AFL career.
It is not the first time that I have got a donut in my team even though I had an emergency and I always try to ensure that I do have a playing emergency that can replace a late withdrawal, however if you get an early injury or cop two late withdrawals that is just bad luck.
Jason, your team would have been difficult to beat even without the late KK withdrawal and early Swan injury.
I think we finished with 734
Who Dat's finish with 802, I think
Separate names with a comma.
