Spurs escape with win over Nuggets

Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich treats the stretch run of the regular season like a series of final exams for his team.
The Spurs passed their latest — just barely.
Tim Duncan had 23 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks and the San Antonio Spurs escaped with a 100-99 win over Denver on Wednesday night when Nuggets veteran guard Andre Miller missed a short jumper at the buzzer.
"The schedule that we have is something that should be embraced and considered a great opportunity," Popovich said, "because it's like taking a final exam every day or most days. To get ready for the playoffs, understanding the physicality, aggressiveness and competitiveness that's necessary night after night in the playoffs."
Denver dished out a heavy dose of that playoff intensity.
Danny Green added 20 points and Tony Parker had 18 points and 11 assists for the Spurs, who remained 1 1/2 games ahead of Oklahoma City in the race for the top spot in the Western Conference. Kawhi Leonard had 11 points and Tiago Splitter 10.
JaVale McGee had 21 points and 11 rebounds, Wilson Chandler scored 15 points and Miller 14 for the Nuggets, whose reserves outscored their Spurs counterparts 59-18. Kenneth Faried and Danilo Gallinari added 12 points apiece and Andre Igoudala had 10.
San Antonio's starting five all scored in double figures, averaging 16.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists to counter Denver's bench and escape with its sixth straight home victory in a game that had 20 lead changes.
"I'm pretty sure the film will show it was a good loss, maybe the best loss of the year," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "We did a lot of great stuff. We had to fight a lot of things and overcome not shooting the ball well. I think we know we can play better but I thought the heart of the game was pretty first class."
Denver outscored San Antonio 24-17 in the fourth quarter, including a 6-3 run in the final two minutes.
Duncan missed an 18-foot jumper with 10.2 seconds left, setting up Miller's driving attempt that bounced off the back of the rim as the buzzer sounded.
Green was able to close on Gallinari, who was forced to give up the ball to Miller behind the 3-point line. Miller drove into the paint on Parker, but was unable to make the off-balance runner.
"I think we gave it a good shot," Karl said. "I've seen Andre make that shot a hundred times, but I'm not disappointed. I would've rather had Gallinari, probably in the attack. We knew they were probably going to switch our stuff. When he hesitated, it took enough time off the clock where Andre didn't have much of anything to do but attack aggressively and get us a good shot."
The Spurs (54-17) pulled within two games of Miami (56-15) in the loss column for the league's best record. The Heat lost 101-97 at Chicago, snapping their 27-game winning streak.
San Antonio's final 15 games feature matchups against 11 playoff teams, including its next two against the Los Angeles Clippers (Friday) and Miami (Sunday).
"It's a great win to start this homestand here," Duncan said. "We've got some really tough games this part of the schedule down the stretch here. It's going to be tough for us, so we need to win everyone we can get."
San Antonio escaped a minor scare when Parker sprained his right middle finger late in the third quarter, but returned to score four points in the fourth.
"I had no feeling in my finger so I just wanted to make sure it was not broken," said Parker, who will have X-rays Thursday morning. "They don't think it's broken."
Continuing the momentum they captured late in the first half, the Spurs outscored Denver 32-21 during a third quarter in which they shot 3 for 3 from 3-point range. The Nuggets failed to score any fast-break points in the third and were 9 for 23 in the quarter.
"It was a great test for our defense and for our offense when you play a team like that," Parker said. "They pack it in the paint really good. They stopped my penetrations, Manu's penetrations. So we had to make shots and trust each other. It was a great playoff intensity."

Domestic violence is a serious threat for many women. Know the signs of an abusive relationship and how to leave a dangerous situation.
Your partner apologizes and says the hurtful behavior won't happen again — but you fear it will. At times you wonder whether you're imagining the abuse, yet the emotional or physical pain you feel is real. If this sounds familiar, you might be experiencing domestic violence.
Domestic violence — also called intimate partner violence — occurs between people in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence can take many forms, including emotional, sexual and physical abuse and threats of abuse. Men are sometimes abused by partners, but domestic violence is most often directed toward women. Domestic violence can happen in heterosexual or same-sex relationships.
It might not be easy to identify domestic violence at first. While some relationships are clearly abusive from the outset, abuse often starts subtly and gets worse over time. You might be experiencing domestic violence if you're in a relationship with someone who:
If you're lesbian, bisexual or transgender, you might also be experiencing domestic violence if you're in a relationship with someone who:
Sometimes domestic violence begins — or increases — during pregnancy, putting your health and the baby's health at risk. The danger continues after the baby is born. Even if your child isn't abused, simply witnessing domestic violence can be harmful. Children who grow up in abusive homes are more likely to be abused and have behavioral problems than are other children. As adults, they're more likely to become abusers or think abuse is a normal part of relationships. You might worry that seeking help will further endanger you and your child or that it might break up your family, but it's the best way to protect your child — and yourself.
If you're in an abusive situation, you might recognize this pattern:
The longer you stay in an abusive relationship, the greater the physical and emotional toll. You might become depressed and anxious. You might begin to doubt your ability to take care of yourself or wonder if the abuse is your fault. You might feel helpless or paralyzed.
If you're an older woman who has health problems, you might feel dependent upon an abusive partner. If you're in a same-sex relationship, you might be less likely to seek help after an assault if you don't want to disclose your sexual orientation. If you've been sexually assaulted by another woman, you might also fear that you won't be believed.
Still, the only way to break the cycle of domestic violence is to take action — and the sooner the better. Start by telling someone about the abuse, whether it's a friend, loved one, health care provider or other close contact. At first, you might find it hard to talk about the abuse. But you'll also likely feel relief and receive much-needed support.

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont. On July 18, 1856, a twist of fate brought Mr. Lincoln to the home of Sheriff William Manahan to spend the night. He slept on a sofa with two chairs placed at its end to accommodate his long legs. In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.
This memorial commemorates Lincoln's 1832 service in the Black Hawk War, and consists of a bronze figure of Lincoln as a 23-year-old captain. The statue was dedicated in 1930 during the centennial celebration of the town of Dixon.

KELEO is the Pan-Asia, iconic, cultural centric luxury brand that radiates beauty and joy within humanity. The mark KELEO was launched a decade ago to unveil jewelries of exceptional qualities.
The company's predecessors arrived in Hong Kong in the year 1956 and venture out of Hong Kong in 1964 when it first registered in Tokyo Japan. Its main focus was on the trading of pearls, jade, as well as jewelries, primarily on wholesale to the local retailers in Japan. To capture the booming market of Asia, it opened an office in Hong Kong in 1966. This is also the time the company started to enter color stones and diamond business. In 1979, a diamond appraisal laboratory was established and has done quality reports and appraisal work for banks and financial institutions. In 1987, the company established its jewelry factory in Singapore, with a view to reach out to Pan-Asia clients in the Middle East as well as South East Asia. In 1995, the company opened its jewelry retail counters at various duty free shops.
Over the years many things have changed but the tradition of fine craftsmanship and professional integrity have remained and closely adhered. The old fashion gold pieces had since developed into a diversified collection ranging from loose diamonds, colored stones and pearls to jewelry designs and manufacturing done in different parts of the world. Its scope of business includes wholesaling and retailing at duty free shops and department stores.
Today the KELEO heritage of fine jewelry continues to market jewelries of exceptional qualities created by talented designers from different culture and background. YesStyle is an authorized retailer of Keleo.

What the f-ck is happening?
And how come David Beckham looks like he's at an entirely different event when he's at the same one?
Why does the gay magic air show only apply to Captain Travolta?

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Interesting news for folks that may have wanted to get a fresh start with everyone else. Do you guys feel this was a bad move for Sony to do this or do you feel it will not affect the already doomed server? I feel personally it will not have any affect as the server choice is a bad idea anyhow. I have noticed that some folks have decided to not create new accounts and play on this server because of this. I would not anyhow with the way Everquest is today but that is a different story.
Would you change your mind to sign up to a MMO because the new server you wanted to start on was opened early to a select group of people? Source: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?topic_id=152605
might annoy me if the server was starting from scratch
giving the FanFaire players a 3 day headstart on a Server where you start at level 51 ?
doesnt bother me
That's the irony of it, people talking fairness when the server dumps you into the game at lvl 51 with 50AA's. So it's not like they are letting people start at lvl 1, it isn't a progression server where competing for kills would open up expansions. It's just a fresh new server, that's all.
People will find everything they can to complain, you can't avoid it. I can see why some are upset, but again, the irony of it makes this an issue you should just shrug it off and laugh about it. It's gonna open up for the world to play within the next few days, I think people can manage. It sure beats some guesses from folks not long ago saying they wouldn't have 51/50 server ready until August or later.
In all honestly I thnk they should not have done that just so they could save themselves some flack. But is it really harmful to the server or the gamers? Heck no.
Doesn't the server having "first" achievements might qualify as this being unfair? A lot of people may have been wanting to compete for those.
Right, server firsts, not as if all these mobs were not killed "first" on all the servers many years ago. It's artificial. I think some people are simply worrying a tad too much The whole "competition" argument is moot when you are given a lvl 51 character, full suit of defiant armor, and 50 AA's right as you login. There *is nothing* to compete, all those dragons killed at fan faire would be killed within 30 minutes on Tuesday's launch. Again, this isn't a progression server where you start at lvl 1 and actually, truly compete.
The only reward you get for server first is a title. According to someone who was there, there are 33 or so titles available, and only a handful or less done by folks at the Fan Faire. So you still got 27 or more titles/server firsts to compete for. Is that not enough chances to compete for epeen size?
The server is down already, so those folks really only got to play for a day, and not really a full day because nobody played it 24 hours. Someone said there were only about 20 people that raided, and highest gotten was lvl 54/55 (which we know 51-55 can be cranked out in a night with ease). It's not the end of the world folks, it's still gonna be jam packed, action filled server when it launches on Tuesday.
Be there or be square
So the only reward for firsts is a title? Ok, that's one thing I won't worry about.
Looking forward to getting started with a little necro this week, then.
Edit: To answer the OP's question, I watched the community address on Youtube yesterday and was a little dismayed to hear the combined news of some unspecified reward for first kills and the Fan Faire opening. But it's not enough to keep me away. I am looking at this as a more-or-less long-term thing, *if* I get into a good guild right off. (If not, I'll probably just move on to a different game. AGAIN.)
This is where I draw the line: __________________.
Also found this info from someone at the fan faire:
At the 51/50 demo, they did indicate that there will be titles for killing the previously killed mobs come Tuesday's opening. So while (as of the time of the demo panel) 3 of the 33 titles had been taken, different titles would be available for first kills as a full launch.
For the record, I tend to agree with it should have been a full launch on Tuesday rather than started early, but for those concerned with 'title' portion, that will still be available. In terms of leveling, I believe there were a couple 57's also as of the demo, though I could be wrong on that.
There you go, titles taken will still be available for those that get server first kills on Tuesday. So that solves it, no more complaints, it's all taken care of. If it's titles you want, it's titles you'll get.
Edit: Here's another blog that says the same thing
After playing on the new 51/50 server preview last night, I got motivated to attend a few EQ panels today. The first panel was related to the new Mayong server which will be released to the public this coming Tuesday morning - June 30th. With the 51/50 server, you can start any new character at level 51 with 50 alternative advancement points. You start with zero cash and a few bags but get a full set of flawed defiant gear, max skills for your level, all of your spells and the opportunity to earn one of 33 server first titles on your way to 85. The next title up for grabs, that wasn't taken already during the FanFaire preview, is for Trakanon. The dev team also mentioned that they will offer secondary titles starting on Tuesday for the bosses dropped during Fanfaire. Server transfers on and off the new server won't be allowed for at least the next few months.
Also on Tuesday they are e-mailing over 1 million former players who never got a character above level 50 - offering them a chance to come back and start on the new server. These former players will get somewhere between 14 and 30 days free game time to experience the world of Norrath once again. I asked them why it took so long to release this server and they said they were holding it out for a FanFaire release. The biggest obstacle to the server going live was making sure the gear sets and spells were all taken care of. On a personal note, I'm going to be playing when the server goes live on Tuesday. I hope many of you give it a shot as well, especially if you haven't played EQ in a while. You can try out all the character classes and find something you like. There will be a large number of people leveling up so groups should be easy to find. The best part is you don't start 10 years behind the curve.
Not a very bright idea. People want to start as fresh as possible, in a way opening the server to a select few probably tarnished this for some.
Based on the YouTube Fan Faire (audience) there didn't seem to be a lot of 'excitement' about the 51/50 server.

Laid back, not so serious, no drama.
All about the fun!
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. - Jef Mallett
people chose it though, I reckon it will be fairly popular. The lure of a new straight up 51 character is quite enticing. I do remember the /betabuff or something and everyone got level 65 characters I think- that was quite fun for a bit- though you did get a good set of equipment too.
It'll be popular because they'll be offering free trial returns for those with an old expired account. That along with a fresh server, fresh economy, and over 33 server first titles to be given. Some people just like the new server rush. It's a good server for people that quit back in 2004 to come back to the game and give it another shot. To many of them, it'll be like playing a new game on a new server because of the amount of changes, expansions, and features added in the past 5-7 years.
Myself, I'm having a good time on the regular server already so I won't be switching. But I don't know, it might be fun to hop in a crowded zone just to watch people yell "train to zone!"
I would welcome another Living Legacy as they had last year. There seemed to be a good number of people that returned to the game, though not many stayed to re-sub. Each summer I look forward to another round of free play, so far I've not seen anything offered.

There we go folks, 11am pst.
We are pleased to announce that the Mayong (51/50) Server will be opening up at 11:00 am (PDT) Tuesday, June 30, 2009.
The rules of this server are the same as a standard server but the server does have the following differences:
* All new characters will:
o Start at level 51
o Start with 50 unspent AA points
o Start with a complete set of Flawed Defiant armor and weapons (Recommended level 50)
o Start with all spells and abilities through level 51
o Have all available skills at their maximum level (Spell specializations excepted)
o Tradeskills will not be set to a higher value initially
* Special Titles: There are a series of server first titles for the first defeat of various encounters.
The Mayong (51/50) Server is named after Mayong Mistmoore, one of Norrath's most renowned vampires! Check back tomorrow as we share lore surrounding this historical figure.

They can be pre-designed for photo or video shoots, fashion runway shows or editorial shoots where a longer nail extension is needed and there isn't time for a traditional nail extension method. In addition, they are safe to use on hand models who constantly are concerned about nail damage from applying product over their natural nails for shoots.
Inspire Nails can be pre-designed and quickly placed over existing manicures or gel polish for a special event or night out, and then quickly removed afterwards for a day in the office.

The Big 12 on Monday afternoon issued a public reprimand of Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville for his altercation with an assistant coach during Saturday's win against Kansas, and commissioner Bob Bowlsby called the act "unsportstmanlike".
"I think it warrants that kind of treatment from the conference," Bowlsby
said. "I guess I'd be less than forthright if I didn't acknowledge we will be keeping a careful eye on it going forward."
Tuberville was caught by TV cameras during the second half of Texas Tech's win over Kansas yanking the headset off graduate assistant Kevin Oliver's head. The Red Raiders had just drawn a penalty for having 12 players on the field.
WATCH: Tuberville's sideline altercation with an assistant coach
After the game, Tuberville told reporters that his anger was as a result of the penalty and was not directed at Oliver, whose duties include working with the Red Raiders' special teams.
Tuberville said that he grabbed Oliver to remove him from the field of play. "He was on the field, and I reached to grab him and pull him off. When I pulled, I missed his shirt and I grabbed his (headset)," Tuberville said Saturday.
"He's out on the field, and we're trying to get him off. I missed his shoulder, and grabbed his… It wasn't anything to it."
RE-RANKING: Oregon the new No. 1 in the 1-124 list
Tuberville acknowledged that he overreacted while addressing the incident during his weekly news conference Monday.
"After watching the film when I got home, it was obvious what a lot of people were upset about," Tuberville told reporters. "It upset me too. You don't do things like that, and it was obvious I reached up, grabbed his headset and pulled on it.
"Heat of the battle, some things happen, and sometimes you'd like to take back. I can't remember anything like that happening to me. But that was a tough game. We're fighting hard."
MAILBAG: Submit your college football questions and comments
Tuberville said that he apologized to Oliver for his outburst, but called the description that he had slapped his assistant "dead wrong."
"I did not do that," he said. "I'm a little bit disappointed that most of you in here know me. I think you know me a lot better than that. I can understand somebody in L.A. or California doing it and making some kind of statement like that by watching the film, but I never thought about it in 35 years.
"Never dreamed of hitting anybody and never have. So we'll just leave it at that. That's also disappointing to me that that would be written here in this town, but we'll get on with it."
Asked at the end of the news conference if he stood by his statement on Saturday that he merely reached out to pull Oliver off the field, Tuberville said, "We're not going to talk about that anymore. No more, no more, no more."

Reviews of this property
We stayed two nights in Alexis' apartment. It was very beautiful and very cosy. It offers everything that you need.
Alexis was a very welcoming host. She also provided some milk, bread, butter and jam so we hadn't to think about shopping for breakfast.
Wat een leuk appartement is dit! Heel sfeervol ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het appartement komt overeen met wat je op de foto's te zien krijgt. De ligging is ook echt ideaal, alles is op loopafstand bereikbaar. De service die Alexis biedt is heel gastvrij: van een ontbijtje voor de eerste ochtend tot het flexibel inleveren van de sleutel.
Echt een aanrader als je naar Edinburgh gaat voor een paar dagen!

The bill, filed by State Representative Martin Walsh from Dorchester, states the exploitation and trade of minerals from Congo is helping to finance conflict characterized by extreme levels of violence, particularly sexual and gender-based violence. The legislation seeks to identify such minerals and prohibit publicly traded companies — failing to comply with federal law — from contracting with the state. Common items made with these minerals include cellphones and laptops.
Under the federal Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, companies using minerals originating in the Congo are required to disclose the source of the materials and products manufactured. Senator Gale Candaras of Wilbraham is the co-chair of the Women's Caucus. She says the bill would restrict the state from entering into contracts with corporations failing to meet the Dodd-Frank standards.
"So we're trying to make sure that Massachusetts doesn't spend any taxpayer money buying goods and services or entering into contracts and supporting – inadvertently – these militia groups."
Candaras says she thinks the legislation has a good chance of passage. and, she says, Hewlett-Packard has been a leader in ensuring the minerals it purchases are from "legitimate" mining operations in the Congo.

Someone told me there are no instances in this game, but there's no proof! How do I know I'm not in an instance right now??
I also heard that if you suck up to the game's creator he'll help you win. But no one can seem to agree on the best way to do it. There are huge PvP battles over it all the time...

Someone told me it was a sandbox, but everything turned out to be a constant gold grind if I wanted to actually do anything. A real shame, ended up more of a themepark with all the restrictions in place. Sure I could go into other people's home, but why have that feature if you get a temporary ban (sometimes for years) just for doing something that the developers said was possible.
No PKing unless it's instanced on what they call "battlefields" more like battlegrounds! Can't believe they copied WoW on that. Every ability that is actually fun or interesting is useless and no one wants to hear about it. Only good professions require crazy grinds, both for gold and time.
Sigh, whatever. Worst game ever.
I thought it was Free to Play but then I had to grid a lot and still spend money if I wanted to get anywhere.
The classes are a little unbalenced.
The open world PvP is very restricted.
The fast travel is pretty expensive but the world is so large it is better than walking. Be prepared to spend a lot of time if you are not willing to put out cash for fast travel.
I didn't realize you could choose a race. . oh well I am too far along now to try to restart.
Already getting bored. After the frst 20 levels or so things really start to slow down and your path becomes very limited.

Skip to comments.City must hire 111 bypassed black firefighter candidates, court rules
Posted on 05/13/2011 1:01:49 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
The Chicago Fire Department must hire 111 bypassed black firefighter candidates and distribute tens of millions of dollars in damages to 6,000 others who will never get that chance a federal appeals court ruled Friday, upholding a landmark ruling.
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in a 9-to-0 decision, that, contrary to the citys contention, African-American candidates hadnt waited too long before filing a lawsuit that accused the city of discriminating against them for the way it handled a 1995 firefighters entrance exam.
On Friday, the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that ruling and sent the case back to the trial court to implement what it called the hiring remedy the city has been stalling.
Plaintiffs attorney Joshua Karsh said the decision means Chicago must hire 111 African-American firefighters and adjust their pensions as if they had been on the job since 1995. Six-thousand others will share tens of millions of dollars in damages, Karsh said.
We won last June 9-to-0, which is unusual in a civil rights case, Karsh said. We then had the city raise a dispute on what the Supreme Courts opinion means. The Seventh Circuit agreed with us that hiring must now take place.
The city gave a test back in 1995 that did not measure the abillity to be a firefighter. It made it more than six times more likely that white applicants would be hired rather than African-Americans with no job-related justification. Nothing about getting a high score on that test predicted anything about whether youd be a superior firefighter.
When results from the 1995 entrance exam were disappointing for minorities, the city established a cutoff score of 89 and hired randomly from the top 1,800 well-qualified candidates.
(Excerpt) Read more at suntimes.com ...
Simple as that.
So now we get to have fire captains who can't read.
Did anyone expect anything different from Chicago? Now they will have fire fighters that don't know one end of a fire hose from the other.
With the help of a good attorney, one could file a claim that he wanted to be a Chicago firefighter and do some farming on his off duty days. Double dip!
Two decades later, Congress codified the requirements of the disparate impact claims Griggs had recognized. Pub. L. 102166, §105, 105 Stat. 1074, 42 U. S. C. §2000e2(k). That provision states:
(1)(A) An unlawful employment practice based on disparate impact is established under this subchapter only if
(i) a complaining party demonstrates that a respondent uses a particular employment practice that causes a disparate impact on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin and the respondent fails to demonstrate that the challenged practice is job related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity .
Thus, a plaintiff establishes a prima facie disparate-impact claim by showing that the employer uses a particular employment practice that causes a disparate impact on one of the prohibited bases. Ibid. (emphasis added). See Ricci v. DeStefano , 557 U. S. ___, ___ (2009) (slip op., at 18).
Petitioners claim satisfies that requirement. Title VII does not define employment practice, but we think it clear that the term encompasses the conduct of which petitioners complain: the exclusion of passing applicants who scored below 89 (until the supply of scores 89 or above was exhausted) when selecting those who would advance. The City use[d] that practice in each round of selection. Although the City had adopted the eligibility list (embodying the score cutoffs) earlier and announced its intention to draw from that list, it made use of the practice of excluding those who scored 88 or below each time it filled a new class of firefighters. Petitioners alleged that this exclusion caused a disparate impact. Whether they adequately proved that is not before us. What matters is that their allegations, based on the Citys actual implementation of its policy, stated a cognizable claim."
The problem is that Congress defined a violation if there was disparate impact in a way that prohibited what Chicago did. As the Court noted:
"(c) The City and its amici warn that this reading will result in a host of practical problems for employers and employees alike. The Court, however, must give effect to the law Congress enacted, not assess the consequences of each approach and adopt the one that produces the least mischief. Pp. 1011."
The Court did NOT find discrimination occurred. It found that under the law, disparate impact had occurred, and it wasn't the Court's role to decide if that disparate impact was caused by good policy.
To quote M. Savage, "The stench from the bench is making me clench."
Wow, these guys who have never worked a day as firefighters are vested and close to retirement now. Wheeee! Free money!
C o r r u p t i o n
Handy Johnson stands outside of the fire house at 40th & Dearborn.
Handy Johnson. LOL! I wonder what he's going to do all day when he doesn't have to work?
Reparations(wealth redistribution) like "Ole Man River" "just keeps rollin along."
poor poor whitey...wished they could counter-sue.
Eric "My People" Holder: Racism, Inc.
We need to cross-reference the list of 6,000 or so who will also receive damages against the list of the 50,000 "black farmers" who got money from Uncle Sap...wanna bet they'll be more than a few double dippers?
Chicago is the White man's Detroit. It would be allowed to fall through its ash if Blacks ran it.
Of course the fact that they were incompetent and incapable of doing the job really didn't matter. Dey be black, so dey be gittin paid! Sheeeeit.
Well, at SCOTUS is was simply a statue of limitations case.
Dept of Ag "Black Farmer Suit"
There were allegations loans had been delayed to black farmers. Problem for the class action lowyaz was there were only 600 or so black farmers in the country; class action lawyers get a biiiig pay day only if there are tons of claimants, right? So they advertised, and told responding blacks that if they only had a POTTED plant then they were a WOULD-BE farmer; a person who would have been a farmer, but for the discriminatory lending policies of the Dept of Ag.
So the the lowyzaz boosted the number of black farmers to 100,000, and the class action attorneys collected 10 million dollars a piece.
Nice, huh?
Almost all of those "black farmers" collected 50,000$ or more.
The city gave a test back in 1995 that did not measure the abillity to be a firefighter. It made it more than six times more likely that white applicants would be hired rather than African-Americans with no job-related justification."
I would like to see one of these biased tests.
So based on this fireman ruling, when will Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Abbott, etc. give me my retroactive pay / 401[k] lump sum contribution?
Tick, tock, tick, tock... I'm waiting!
Will that affect property insurance rates?
The city gave a test back in 1995 that did not measure the abillity to be a firefighter. It made it more than six times more likely that white applicants would be hired rather than African-Americans with no job-related justification.
Is there any important job where being intelligent isn't an advantage?
Had an appropriate test been given, it probably would have resulted in the same outcome..........
With that being said, there's no mention of what the payout to the attorneys was............
>> The can't pass the test because they can't read.
No doubt a product of basic K12 eduction.
A better solution to improving results should be applied to public education.
I wonder how graduates of charter schools performed.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Cleveland Town in conjunction with the Utah Department of Transportation has secured new flashing lights for the school crossing on Main Street in Cleveland. They have also hired two crossing guards to be present in the mornings before school and after school. Cleveland Elementary plans to encourage all students that can to walk to school on National Walk to school day on Oct. 6. Janae Minchey, crossing guard asked the Cleveland Town council if they would like to donate to the walk to school day. The council said they would donate monetarily to walk to school day. Minchey will look at some different ways to recognize the children as they walk to school this day. The Emery County Sheriff's Office has been contacted and they are spending time patrolling in Cleveland and they said everyone has been very good about slowing down. UDOT may help with reimbursement of the cost of the power to the poles for the project. Council member Greg Oliver suggested the town write a formal letter of thanks to UDOT for their help with the lighting project for Cleveland.
The town is in the process of purchasing a new sign for the public safety building. The colors have been picked and power will be run to the sign. An amount of $18,172.59 is left over from the construction of the new building. The council will discuss what to do with this remaining money. A security system will be installed on one of the doors and possibly the other monies will be used for a back-up power source like a generator. New radios have been purchased for the fire trucks. The council discussed the purchase of land at 74 West and 100 South that belongs to Dot Allred. This land is for sale. If the city purchases the land they would always have room for the fireworks and in the future could build a skate park there.
Council member and fire chief Greg Oliver said they need a 300 foot buffer zone when they shoot the fireworks. If homes are built there it could cause some issues. The town will look at the possibility of purchasing the property.
Oct. 7 has been set for a public hearing for the general plan.
A Cleveland resident complained of nuisance trees, Chinese elms, on a neighbors property and they blow seeds all over and trees are coming up all over her property. She said it is messy and she is tired of cleaning it up each year all summer long.
Mayor Chris Parkins said Cleveland has an ordinance which deals with noxious weeds and he thinks the trash trees fall in this category. Council member Oliver said people need shade and he recommends a long term project as a town to remove trash trees and replace them with shade trees that aren't nuisances. Bryan Christensen, council member said a long term solution needs to be worked out that everyone likes. Everyone needs to be proactive and diligent in getting the trees out.
The mayor said he will look up the ordinance on this issue. He told Jamie Jensen, town clerk, to draw up a letter to bring awareness to this ordinance and the town will seek voluntary compliance on weeds and nuisance trees.
Christensen suggested the town make it easy for the people to clean-up their trees by offering to haul off cut trees. The letters will be sent out with information on the burn season which is Sept. 25-Oct. 24.
The town is hiring for a position of flower watering and cleaning of the town offices. The current crossing guards Janae Minchey and Heather Norton will add these duties to their current ones. They will set their own schedules. There is a check list of all the tasks which need to be performed with this position. The town will pay closer attention to the upkeep of the water truck making sure it's ready to go for flower watering.
There is enough B & C funds to extend the sidewalk near Bret Hansen's property approximately 100 feet. This will be done while the contractor is still in town.
Christensen had a question on the style of sidewalk and the approaches. He said he is planning to change the one by his house. The mayor said during the sidewalk construction over the years the ADA standards have changed several times. As the town has used grant money for some of their sidewalks, they must adhere to the standards that are in place. If Christensen takes sidewalk or an approach out, it must be put back in according to ADA standards.
The mayor and Oliver will consult with local land owners to get their input on approaches and sidewalks coming to various parts of the city. Oliver said it has been the practice to visit with land owners to make sure things are done in accordance with landowner wishes wherever possible.
Cleveland Town goes forward with sidewalks according to the Castle Valley Service District's plan. Sometimes residents feel like their street is being neglected, but the town is moving according to the CVSSD plan. Mayor Parkins said his goal is to make sure sidewalk is complete all around the school. He encouraged property owners to go ahead and do what they have planned for their yards. The city will try to plan and take into consideration what the resident has planned and the road and sidewalks will be dealt with when the time comes for their street to be done.
Cleveland had several entries to the clean-up contest. The contestants submitted before and after pictures. Only two after pictures came back and it was determined by the council that Josh Taylor be awarded first place and Eldon Holmes second place. Cash awards were given to the winners.
Jax Gardner approached the council about an Eagle Scout project he would like to pursue. He would like to place a welcome to Cleveland sign. It will be 14 feet tall and approximately 4 feet wide. The sign will be placed near 300 North on the west side of the road by Eldon Holmes property and Jim Jennings. The mayor said the sign will need UDOT approval since it is a state road. The sign currently in place will be relocated. The town agreed to finance the project for up to $550 and Gardner along with Eldon Holmes who is fabricating the sign will have artistic license with the sign. Holmes explained the figurine for the sign is called the Moab guy and is a petroglyph in Moab by their golf course.
Cleveland recently had their dump truck which needed repairs. The hinges were torn out when the bed lifted up. Council member Oliver wondered what the procedure is for the city to have repairs done in a timely manner as council meetings are only once a month and sometimes repairs are needed in between times. Mayor Parkins said it is the procedure to have repairs less than $500 performed, but those over $500 need to come before the council prior to being completed.
Oliver said if repairs for town equipment are included in the budget and the budget has been through public hearing and council approval then why can't repairs take place in a timely manner. In emergency situations repairs need to be completed in a timely manner, if a grave needs to be dug then the backhoe needs to be repaired, or the authority needs to be there to make a decision to hire out the job, if town equipment can't do the job. The mayor said he has adhered to the $500 guidelines so he isn't making the decisions alone for large expenditures for the town, he likes council approval as a precautionary measure.
Oliver said people need authority to do what needs to be done for the town. Guidelines need to be set up. All small repairs shouldn't have to be brought before the council. The council will further discuss this matter and review guidelines already in place.
The council voted to set up an account with National Tank Services (Trimac) so the town can do business with them on credit. Trimac's shop is an open shop which services all types of trucks in North America. They have recently become certified to do commercial vehicle inspections.
Councilman Oliver abstained from voting on the NTS account. He is an employee of Trimac. Mayor Parkins pointed out that Oliver will receive no personal gain from any business the town conducts with Trimac.
In the discussion of the Class C roads fund update Jensen reported the town will be required to pay the CVSSD in the month after the deposits are made for the town. The town will pay 15 percent each year to the CVSSD. This will go into a fund toward payment of the chip and seal when it's Cleveland's turn for this to be done. This will be 15 percent of all future funds. Currently there is approximately $58,000 in this fund. It is very specific what these funds can be used for and includes road maintenance and equipment to maintain roads. The council will discuss future needs of the town and where that money may be used. The mayor suggested the town will need to look at purchasing another vehicle in the near future as the water truck is getting old.
Oliver reported he will fly to Omaha with the other fire chiefs for the final inspections on fire trucks on Sept. 21-23. The Cleveland truck should be ready by January. During October the fire department will give fire training to all the students in the elementary school. The students will come over in small groups to the training room at the new fire station.
Verla Jensen, council member presented a gift certificate to Jamie Jensen for her work on the 24th of July celebration. The council will meet on Oct. 13 in the training room to get started on the NIMS training. There will be lap top computers available to take the tests.
Mayor Parkins met with Sheriff LaMar Guymon and it is looking good for an ambulance to be placed in Cleveland in the new fire station. Christensen thanked Oliver for his work on the 24th of July fireworks and all his service to the town. The mayor told all council members he put a copy of the Roberts Rule of Order for the conducting of public meetings in their boxes for their review. The next Cleveland Town meeting will be on Oct. 14.

Where I stayed
Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station
South Pole New Year did not disappoint. Though I was still seeing the station through starry eyes, most Polies had long since settled into the daily grind of ten hour work days and off-work time-wasting. There was a party planned in the gym with a list of entertainment acts. My supervising dishwasher Travis had choreographed willing volunteers into into a rather impressive hip hop routine to the sounds of Timbaland. There were a lot of musicians at the bottom of the world, and a few bands had sprung up and prepared sets. McMurdo has a full on music festival with outdoor stage which they call "Ice Stock," but at less than 300 constant members, Pole is a bit small to pull of anything as extensive
As it happened, I didn't get to see any of the festivities... at least the day of (I'd seen the hip hop routine many times over from the Drago/Rocky IV-style gym overlooking the basketball courts.) As I scrubbed ancient canned goods of baking trays during the day, I became aware of another event taking place. It appeared the IceCube workers, whose headquarters sat across the runway, had been busy planning their own New Year's event.
IceCube is a separately funded project from the main station, though most of its funding is from the same benefactor, the National Science Foundation. They also have funding from Sweden and Germany. Neutrino research is really best explained by the pros themselves, and if you're interested you can visit http://icecube.wisc.edu/. If that's a bit thick for you I can tell you that mostly what they do is drill holes deep into the ice--really, more than 2.5km deep. The process is accomplished with something called a firn drill, and a lot of hot water.
The workers had taken a break that day, and two shifts had spent their time building a National Science Foundation sanctioned, sixty-person open air hot tub in the middle of Antarctica
Side note: Robert F. Scott died after losing the Race to the Pole to Amundsen in 1912, and his body, along with fellow explorers Edward Wilson and Henry Bowers were left in their tent with a marker. According to the bio by Robert Phillips at http://www.findagrave.com/, they lie "at approximately 178 degrees east, 79 degrees 50 min. south. As the ice shelf is moving slowly northward, it is estimated their bodies, encased in ice, will return to the Ross Sea in about 200 years."
Returning again to modern Pole culture, IceCube had dug about 4 feet into the ice and lined it with heavy tarps, right in the center of their compound. Hot water was continuously being pumped in at 105˚F, and an ice water slide had been erected at the far side of the pool, where two people could hurl themselves giggling down into the water creating a satisfying spray.
I arrived on the back of snowmobile (snowmobile access come with position, and I really was lowest of the low in ice time and job.) "How did you know to bring a swimsuit?" someone asked me (I hadn't really received the orientation most employees had.) "Always pack a swimsuit! And a towel..." I add, pleased at myself for working a Hitchiker's guide reference into normal confersation."
We were given hard hats, since we were in a work zone, and ran quickly into the water, where mist was rising off the surface like a vat of dry ice
I never made it back to the station, but stayed until near 4am (which looks suspiciously like high noon in mid-summer Antarctica) enjoying the bizarre setting. I suppose this is where I really met Austin, and quickly hit it off. We dragged ourselves out of the water only when they began to drain the tub to discover that someone had taken Austin's pants. This is sort of a mean joke in Antarctica, because depending upon where you are, it can render you immobile. Luckily the pants-thief had forgotten his own pants, and we were able to trudge across the air strip and back to station with no more damage than icicles for hair.
I didn't get that new year's kiss (though there were plenty of lonely bearded candidates) but that isn't really what New Year's is about, is it? It marks new beginnings, letting go of old bits wearing you down, and promises hope of things to come. I passed out full of cookies in the reading room with two hours 'till my shift, but incredibly happy.
Happy New Year!
