State Rep. Harold Mitchell was suspended from office Saturday after the state grand jury handed down four felony indictments against him.
State Rep. Harold Mitchell has been suspended from his duties as a lawmaker after a state grand jury handed down four felony indictments of tax evasion.
The state grand jury formally indicted Mitchell on Friday, and he was notified of his suspension the following day, said Greg Foster, director of communications for House Speaker Bobby Harrell. House members were notified of the suspension on Tuesday.
When a House member faces a felony grand jury indictment, the state's ethics law automatically calls for that lawmaker to be suspended from all official duties. Mitchell is not allowed to act on legislation in committee, vote on business before the legislature or engage in other official duties, according to the speaker's office.
In September, the S.C. Department of Revenue charged Mitchell, D-Spartanburg, with failing to file state individual income tax returns for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, until he filed four delinquent returns on April 22, 2009. The DOR claims Mitchell attempted to avoid paying about $7,000 in state taxes by not filing tax returns and under-reporting his income.
Mitchell said Tuesday that he was not surprised by the indictments, or the suspension.
"The grand jury met after hearing only the prosecution's side," Mitchell said. "It's what we were expecting. I am disappointed that we're not further along in the process than we are. I'm anxiously awaiting my day in court."
Mitchell said he plans to meet with his attorney on Wednesday and will then likely file a motion with the S.C. Attorney General's Office for a speedy trial. He denies all of the charges, saying he paid all delinquent taxes, fees and penalties last spring.
Mitchell said he spent most of the day Tuesday fielding questions from other legislators.
"People are wondering how (Florence County Republican representative) Kris Crawford was able to continue serving after being charged with seven counts of failing to file a state tax return involving a couple hundred thousand dollars," Mitchell said. "I've been charged with four felony counts involving about $5,000 that's already been paid. It doesn't make sense."
Crawford's case ended in a mistrial in March 2011, and S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson said he intends to retry the case, The Associated Press reported.
Foster said Crawford's charges are misdemeanors, and Mitchell has been charged with felony counts, which automatically triggers the suspension under ethics laws. Crawford, too, has denied the charges against him.
Mitchell said he understands Harrell's position and his role as chief executive officer of the House.
"He's just doing his job according to state law," Mitchell said. "It's the Department of Revenue and these bogus charges that I have a problem with."
Mitchell said he will return to Spartanburg and stay informed about the issues in the legislature until his trial date. He is waiting to hear from the clerk's office on the status of bills that he has filed.
"The people of this district have a right to representation, and I look forward to getting back to work," Mitchell said. "I believe in the system and once the evidence comes out, it will speak for itself. And all I'm looking for is 12 people in a box and a judge to look at these cases and see what we've seen all along."
In response to the suspension, Harrell released a written statement that read in part: "During the suspension of their representative, I offer the full support of my office and House resources to the South Carolinians of House District 31. I want these citizens to know that their concerns and needs will still be addressed and represented at the State House. In the blind and fair pursuit of justice, Rep. Mitchell should receive no special treatment because of his elected position. I am confident that our state's enforcement agencies will fully and fairly apply the law in this case just as they would in any other."
Mitchell has served in the state House of Representatives since 2005, when he won a special election to replace retiring Rep. Brenda Lee.
If convicted, Mitchell faces up to 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of $40,000. If a suspended House member is convicted of a felony, the seat will be vacated and a special election will be held to fill the spot.

It's the pants. Lord help me, it's the pants. I can't get enough of the crazy patterns. What does it all meeeean????
I went into Target innocently enough (HA). Not looking for plaid skinnies AT ALL. But there they were. Calling to me.
Shannan...they whispered....SHAAAAAANNNNNNNNNANNNN.... (these were very insistent pants)...
And I stuffed them into my cart, along with an adorable grey cardigan with color-blocked sleeves (don't worry, Cardi, I'll be back for you), a leopard print dress, a leopard print skirt, leopard print pants, a black bodycon dress, and some workout stuff.
WHAT???? Target has a shit-ton of ADORABLE stuff at the mo. Don't judge.
And with all that stuff taunting me in the fitting room, I made it home with these pants and the black dress. I'd say that wasn't too bad. Of course, I'll probably go back for the leopard skirt. And maybe order some shoes on the website that aren't in stores. Leopard print, of course.
And maybe those workout pants. But that's it. I SWEAR.

Renting Dumpsters in Davenport, CA Effectively
Renting roll off dumpsters in Davenport for your construction, restoration or clean-up project might be a great deal more essential than you currently assume. Luckily, you have found this article, so you will know just what to do in order to make certain you obtain the most effective results out from the dumpster rental solutions you pay for. The problem isthat a great deal of individuals just do not fully grasp why they need to rent a dumpster and why the process should be treated with the greatest awareness of details.
Before we give away our precious tips we think you should first comprehend precisely why it's so important to get dumpster rentals in Davenport, CA and for that purpose we've put together a list of the kinds of jobs that usually involve waste elimination support.
Conditions Where You'll Absolutely Need To Get Dumpster Rental in Davenport
Upgrading your property – So you've made the decision that sufficient time has passed without improving your home, so you're embarking on a renovation challenge. Things go pretty good for some days,but sooner than you know it you will look out the window and see a large heap of heavy debris sitting in your yard. It's not really going to disappear all alone, so you have to make certain you find the correct Davenport dumpster rentalprovider. Ensure you properly gauge the amount of waste that you have to get rid of since it will assist you to find the correct dumpster measurement – trust us, getting one that's too large or small will bring your expenses up by an avoidably big amount.
Construction projects – It's hard to think about a construction job that does not leave behind large amounts of concrete, stone, scrap steel or wood. All that waste has to go someplace and that is where your Davenport dumpster rental supplier comes into play.
Pro tip: Make sure the organization you cooperate with is a reliable one which can help you get construction dumpsters in Davenport, CA and never having to bother about stability problems.
Significant public events, home clean-up jobs and other similar undertakings – Each time a lot of waste is involved you can just about ignore working with regular trash collection companies. In order to seriously accomplish things the right way you want to get Davenport dumpster rental support from an organization that can provide you with the right container proportions and that can support you in an appropriate manner. In addition, if you're likely to rent a dumpster at home you should read the ideas we have compiled below:
Recommendations On Having A Much Better Davenport Dumpster Rental Encounter – Planning Plays An Incredible Role
Depending on the dumpster size you choose to rent you will need to be careful in relation to low electric cables. As you know, these dumpsters occupy more space vertically while they're deployed, so it's in your absolute best interest to make sure you pick the dumpster's spot properly.
Always area lighter things first. In that way, the weightier ones will pack them and you will manage to get rid of more waste at the same price – who not like saving money?
Those who are working on constructionjobs in small areas will undoubtedly be persuaded to place their dumpsters very near to a building or heavy debris heap.Nevertheless, you must always be sure that you, your employees or trucks have quick access to the dumpster.
Talk with your dumpster rental company about any issue you could have. Strong interaction is key as it pertains to getting dumpster rental in Davenport and you must only hire companies that seem like they'll help you out along the way.

Would be could be amazing But only like 6 letters of the alphabet and numbers 1-4 are unlocked you have to buy the app to get the rest.. There are other apps which all that is free.. I do like this app tho cuz of the mini puzzles.. But to have to pay for something that should be free .. How greedy are people these days over our children's educations. Make game free and 5 stars.

Recent Journal Articles Globalization and Higher Education
'It's the end of the university as we know it (and I feel fine)': the Generat…
"This paper examines discussions of Generation Y within higher education discourse, arguing the sector's use of the term to describe students is misguided for three reasons. First, portraying students as belonging to Generation Y homogenises people undertaking higher education as young, middle-class and technologically literate. Second, speaking of Generation Y students allows constructivism to be reinvented as a 'new' learning and teaching philosophy. Third, the Generation Y university student has become a central figure in concerns about technology's role in learning and teaching. While the notion of the 'Generation Y student' creates the illusion that higher education institutions understand their constituents, ultimately, it is of little value in explaining young adults' educational experiences."
Interactive planning for strategy development in academic-based cooperative research en…
"The evolution of strategic management concludes that formulation and implementation is an emergent process. In today's knowledge-based society this requires that managers develop more creative ways to align strategies with core competencies to maximise organisational performance and efficiencies. This paper evaluates the approach taken by a university-based research collaborative to illustrate an integrated planning process that supports strategic management in higher education environments. Utilising the concepts of road mapping and interactive planning, this case study provides insights into the participative approach used and provides a modification of several conceptual models to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of this process."
Is interdisciplinarity old news? A disciplined consideration of interdisciplinarity – B…
"This paper draws on the theory of Basil Bernstein and on more recent applications of it by Rob Moore, John Beck and Michael Young to respond to recent calls for the replacement of discipline-based university faculties and departments with 'problem-based' curricula and programmes of study. It considers, particularly, the potential consequences of such a shift in higher education policy for the identities of university teachers, researchers and students, and suggests that these calls for reform are premised especially on the problematic assumption that, in Bernsteinian terms, 'regionalised' curricular inputs can be expected to produce 'generic' knowledge outcomes within the university."
Conservatives, politics and the crisis of modern education in Australia – Policy Studie…
"This article offers an analysis of conservative critiques of education with particular attention given to how policy problems are framed to build public consensus. It investigates how conservatives claim political legitimacy and describe education and social problems in ways that promote a conservative agenda. Using a case study of the Australian Howard Government's education policy, the article draws on Lakoff's work and particularly his 'moral accounting schemes' to identify the politics that are not always apparent in debates, but which nonetheless play a powerful role in popular and policy understandings of schools and universities and which help shape policy solutions to the problems those educational institutions are said to face."
Cost and price in higher education, again – Changing Higher Education
"As economic conditions around the country (and world) impose increasing limitations on funding for higher education, it is worthwhile to review some of the major reasons that higher education costs are so high and rise so rapidly. An understanding of these reasons is critical to making rational responses that preserve (and perhaps even strengthen) important components of institutional mission. This is, of course, a subject that has been extensively written about over the past several decades by many authors, but since responses to the current economic situation seem to generally ignore what is known about the problem, perhaps another brief review is justified. Interested readers will find my many earlier takes on this issue collected here"
Dealing with diversity in internationalised higher education institutions – Intercultur…
"While the economic benefits created by international education export are well documented, few systematic and qualitative analysis studies have been conducted to examine how academic staff perceive the presence of international students in their institutions. Using interview data from 80 academic staff from different disciplines in one higher institution in Australia, this study examines whether the presence of international students has an impact on staff teaching practice. Some of the academic staff reported that they made no adjustments to their teaching. They treated all students as one student group. Other staff members said that there have been changes in their teaching in response to the presence of international students in their classroom. The paper discusses some of the underlying causes of these responses, and implications for the practice of international education. The discussion of the findings is informed by Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity, which helps us understand how people respond to cultural differences."
Education Reform in Japan: A Course for Lifelong Learning – Asia-Pacific Review – Volum…
"Japan's current education system has its origins in postwar reform, overemphasizing individualism and underemphasizing on Japan's history, traditions, and culture, resulting in the continuing decline in scholastic, physical, and socializing ability to date. This essay reviews the IIPS proposal on educational reform, which was supervised by former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, with the addition of the author's personal views. The IIPS proposal set the ultimate goal of education in Japan to be raising healthy people who have self-confidence and pride as Japanese who can thrive in the era of globalization. Then, the proposal presents what a Japanese should learn and how he should serve at each life stage beginning with early childhood education through the compulsory education period, adolescence and young adulthood, maturity, and into the elderly period. Moreover, the organizational reform on administrating education policy is presented, with a focus on abandoning the current board of education system."
Writing with Care: Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go Anne Whitehead
"In Not for Profit (2010), Martha Nussbaum has diagnosed that alongside a global economic crisis, a less visible, more insidious catastrophe is also affecting Western societies, namely the underfunding of the arts and humanities. Working against the increasing commercialization of the academy, Nussbaum sets out a vision of the arts, and especially literature, as central to the functioning of a healthy democratic society, first because they underpin skills of reasoning, argument, and critique, and secondly because they cultivate imaginative, caring, and empathic citizens. Nussbaum's passionate defense of the humanities coincides, and to some degree overlaps, with the emergence of the medical humanities over the past decade or so. Tying the notion of the "healthy" society more particularly to health-care institutions and systems, the medical humanities have pointed to a contemporary crisis of care in Western societies that emerges out of a number of factors, including the increasing bureaucratization and privatization of care services, and the fragmentation of the patient among subspecializations. Having thus diagnosed an ailing system of health care, the medical humanities have, like Nussbaum, prescribed the reading of literature as the cure, asserting that it is particularly good at making better health-care professionals by widening perspective and developing the sensibilities.1 In other words, literature is seen to be valuable because it can help doctors and other health-care practitioners to nurture an empathetic response to the suffering of those who are in their care. What seems emergent, then, across Nussbaum and the medical humanities, is a nexus of concern with a prevailing "health" crisis (whether of democracy or of systems of care), for which the revitalization of the humanities emerges as the necessary panacea, because the arts, and especially literature, make us more enlightened and"
The gender politics of economic competitiveness in Malaysia's transition to a knowledge…
"Many academic commentators have pointed to how the widening and deepening of a neoliberal reform agenda in Southeast Asia has brought about the end of developmental forms of state governance and the emergence of less directly market interventionist states pursuing economic 'competitiveness'. In this paper, I note how notions of competitiveness are increasingly fused with ideas regarding the contribution of gender equity and women's empowerment to national economic success. However, drawing upon a case study of Malaysia, this paper highlights how government policies stressing both the marketisation of social reproduction and the need to expand women's productive roles are constantly brought into tension with embedded social structures. Such an emphasis is essential to any understanding of the role of the Malaysian state in economic development – a role that has been fundamentally shaped by a localised politics of ethnicity. The paper draws upon examples from government policy-making that conceptualise women as key workers in the emerging knowledge-driven economy and as microentrepreneurs driving pro-poor economic growth and illustrates how such policies are brought into tension with traditionalist discourses concerning the appropriate role of women in society."
American Book Review – The Rise of Corporate Literature: Crisis in the Humanities I
"How prepared are you to teach a course on "corporate" literature? What would you say to someone who does not recognize the value of a liberal arts education? How would you argue for the value of reading contemporary fiction—to someone who aspires to be an accountant? The ongoing challenges facing the humanities are making these questions more common—and responses to them more significant. Many believe that the future of the humanities hinges in large part on the ability of people who share a passion for the liberal arts to be able to articulate that passion to others. Seeing and hearing people who are fully committed to their art is often believed the best way of supporting the arts. The poet who intensely and emphatically reads her poetry reveals her commitment to her art; the philosopher who cleverly turns every statement into a question and undermines beliefs demonstrates the perennial and complex nature of philosophy; the novelist who convinces others to believe in her characters and care for their well-being shows the power of mimesis."
Memory and nationalism: the case of Universitas Indonesia – Inter-Asia Cultural Studies…
"As the only state university that bears the name of the country, the Universitas Indonesia (UI) has played an important role in the history of the Indonesian nationalist movement for over half a century. Now located at two sites, one in the center of the city and the other on the outskirts, the history of this leading state university—its architecture and location, as well as its campus life and student movement—reflects the clashes of various forces and competing ideologies. This study looks at the relationship between public space and nationalism in Universitas Indonesia in an interdisciplinary perspective. It relates architecture and urban history with the operations of power and memory in a campus, which is seen both as an arena of struggle as well as containment. In that sense the campus is a reflection of public space in a broader sense. This paper raises a question about the kind of civic space emerging from the tension between the physical structure and environment of the campuses and the inner space of campus politics and students movement."

Every professional musician's first official album is their first impression to the world and the project's success (or lack thereof) is often a very significant indication of the projection of an artist's musical career. The first debut 1984 album named, "Diamond Life" of the Nigerian-born English artist, "Sade" would become an instant selling phenomenon as the album would become the best-selling debut of a British female vocalist with albums sales totaling over six million copies. Helen Folasade Adu who is simply known as, "Sade Adu" would achieve worldwide fame with her bandmates Paul S. Denman, Andrew Hale and Stuart Matthewman.
Growing up, Sade wasn't passionate about music due to her mother not being very interested in it. Her whole life would change when she started listening to pirated radio stations around the age of thirteen that would play all types of music that included Folk, Rock, Soul and everything in between. From there, Sade would begin to develop a passion for music and would start collecting albums. By the age of fourteen she started listening to Jazz music that included the great work of artists such as, "Billie Holiday" and "Miles Davis (Kind of Blue & Sketches of Spain)".
After overcoming her stage fright early in her development as a vocalist and artist with a band she no longer plays with, she would learn invaluable lessons that would drive her to eventually sing backup with the British band, "Pride". Shortly after completing her course work for her focus in fashion design, she would form the band known as, "Sade" with Pride's saxophonist and guitarist, "Stuart Matthewman", paired with their rhythm section, "Andrew Hale" and "Paul S. Denman".
Sade's live performances of the iconic hit song, "Smooth Operator" would land the band a record deal with Epic Records who became the perfect platform for Sade and her highly talented band members to release multiple multi-platinum albums. Sade's debut would be carried by the album's two leading singles "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love Is King" and would help the album become one of the best-selling albums to ever be released in the 1980's. From there, Sade's success would continue to rise to astronomical levels as the next five albums ("Promise, Stronger Than Pride, Love Deluxe, Lovers Rock and Solider of Love") she would release over the next twenty years would accumulate albums sales that totaled over 50 million units sold worldwide. Sade would also receive 5 Grammy Awards over the years along with multiple nominations for AMA's, BET Awards and Billboard Awards respectively.
We encourage you to check out some of Sade's best work here and some of her best music videos below!

Defensive Cone Basketball Drill
The three cone basketball drill is a great all around basketball drill that will help you improve your defensive speed, quickness, and agility. It also improves your reaction to different offensive attacks. If you push yourself hard in this drill, you'll become every coach's dream!
- The three cone defensive reaction basketball drill will help you become a better defensive player by learning specific defensive tips against several offensive attacks.
- Force yourself to play the hardest defense you can in 30 seconds
- Coaches – if your player isn't giving you 100% effort in this drill make them go again!
- Anytime the player is under the basket, he/she should be chopping their feet. By chopping their feet this helps them react quicker!
- The defensive player should be in a defensive stance and stay low in his/her movement
- It's important to have quick feet so that you can beat the offense to certain spots on the court
- When taking a charge, fall down and get up as quick as possible
- When cutting a defender off with the baseline, step on the baseline, so that they can't go around you
- When closing out, closeout low with a good base and high hand, touch the player before sprinting back under the rim
- Setup 3 cones, one outside of each block and one at the top of the key
- You will need 4 players before you start this drill
- One player is positioned at the cone at the top of the key, the other at the cone near the block, another at the opposite cone near the block, and then a defensive player under the basket.
- Each offensive players positioned near the cones need one basketball
- The player at the top of the key is known as red
- The player at one of the cones near the block will be known as blue
- The other player at the opposite cone will be known as black
- The defensive player starts under the rim chopping his/her feet and is actively listening for their coach's voice
- The offensive player known as black will attack the baseline, the defensive player has to react, beat the offensive player to the baseline, and take a charge!
- The player needs to jump up, sprint back under the rim and continue to chop his/her feet
- The coach will call red, which will signal the defensive player to closeout to the player at the top of the key
- The player sprints back under the rim, the coach calls blue and the defensive player cuts off the other offensive player by using the baseline
- The player sprints back under the rim and the coach continues to call what ever color he/she decides
- Perform this drill for 30 seconds!
- Rotate each player and have them play all positions

I've spent a good deal of time this Memorial Day weekend finalizing the Killed in Action page for the Company G website. It was important to me to have it finished for Memorial Day. The foundation for this list of KIA is my grandfather Ed Monahan's handwritten list of men, numbering 53 dead (see Photo #1). Based on the list of the dead in the back of the Americal Division's book Under the Southern Cross, as well as an initial scan of Company G's morning reports, and of course the burials listed by the American Battle Monuments Commission, I feel that this list is a nearly complete accounting of the dead for Company G. I'll continue to investigate this as part of my ongoing research. I suspect that there may be some names missing from the list, but I am quite comfortable stating that those listed were in fact the names of those killed during the war. Just a few of their faces can be seen in Photo #2.
In March, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Cebu, in the Philippine Islands, as a part of a trip with the Americal Division Veteran's Association, to witness the dedication of a new monument at the spot of a major Japanese surrender at the end of the war (read about it here). The final stop on my trip was the Manila American Cemetery, final resting place for over 17,000 American casualties in the Pacific during World War II. On the strikingly beautiful grounds of this cemetery (see Photo #3, Photo #4, Photo #5) lie the remains of 10 men from Company G. On the walls of the missing, the names of 4 other men from Company G are inscribed (see Photo #6). During my visit on 29 March 2015, I stopped to pay respects to each man. It was a powerful, emotional morning, under a bright sun, with a brisk wind coursing over the quiet cemetery grounds. With the help of my mother, Claire Ciampa, my wife Angie, and the son of another Company G man, Ed Gekosky, we had assembled small ribbons prior to my departure for the Philippines. I left a ribbon with the Americal Division insignia and a symbol of each man's home state at each grave (see Photo #7, Photo #8). It felt like a very small gesture to me, inconsequential when measured against the sacrifice these men had made. For weeks, I had been conscious of the fact that these men had likely never had a personal visitor, given the thousands of miles separating them from home. I wanted my visit to mean something – for these men to be remembered.
I hope that others out there will see and visit the Killed in Action page on this site, to remember the great sacrifice these men made. And I hope that some will read this story on Memorial Day, to help keep all of their memories alive.

Having a Strong Youth Ministry Team Matters
Having a strong team matters in almost anything you do. Regardless of the size of your church or ministry, you need a strong team around you. Whether you want to admit it or not, you cannot do everything on your own…and you shouldn't. Go ahead, say it out loud, "I can't do it all on my own." For some the reality of that is freeing. For others it is paralyzing. For all of us though it is the truth.
Maybe you know this, but aren't sure where to start. Maybe you've tried this, but didn't seem to get any traction and gave up. Maybe you have an all-star youth ministry team already. Wherever you find yourself in the process it is always good to be reminded of the importance of your team. Over the next few posts we will be looking at several aspects of building a strong youth ministry team, and practical steps to take to build, grow, and encourage your team.
This post serves as a table of contents so to speak for the posts that follow. The topics covered are:
- Do I really need a Youth Ministry Team?
- What are the most effective ways to recruit a Youth Ministry Team?
- What are ways that I can equip my Youth Ministry Team for maximum impact?
- How can I keep the members of my Youth Ministry Team serving for the long haul?
I would love to hear some things you are doing to build your team. Leave a comment below and share.
Also, check out my course on Building the All-Star Team for more detailed help.
What other topics surrounding a Youth Ministry Team would you like addressed?

Biomet was a large manufacturer of hip replacement products before it was bought by its competitor Zimmer. Several Biomet hip implants helped improve patient's lives, but one line of products didn't live up to expectations. Biomet's metal-on-metal implants cost the company millions of dollars in litigation and compensation costs.
Indiana-based Biomet Orthopedics was a medical device manufacturer that specialized in surgical products to replace the hip, knee, shoulder and other joints. Orthopedic manufacturer Zimmer bought Biomet in 2014 for $13.4 billion. The new company, Zimmer Biomet, became one of the leaders in the hip replacement market in 2016.
Before the acquisition, Biomet's top hip replacement product was the Acros Modular Femoral Revision System. It included five stems and three body options that could be implanted using three different types of surgical techniques.
The company also sold acetabular components, including products in its G7 Acetabular System and Regenerex RingLoc+ Modular Acetabular System. The company's products had well-documented histories of success, but Biomet was not immune to failures.
The M2a Magnum hip implant products contained problematic metal-on-metal designs. The M2a Magnum caused a variety of complications, including metallosis, which is metal poisoning that occurs when metal particles are released into the blood from the artificial joint.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration received hundreds of reports of complications from doctors and patients who used the M2a Hip implant line of products. However, the devices were never recalled. Thousands of people filed lawsuits against the manufacturer, and Biomet agreed to settle a large number of cases in 2014. However, 466 lawsuits were still pending against the company in August 2017.
Injured by a Biomet hip implant? We can help.Get a Free Case Review
Biomet manufactured hip replacement devices for all types of hip replacement surgeries. These devices included femoral, acetabular and revision components. Revision components are used in surgery to replace faulty or failed implants from original hip replacement surgery.
Biomet's implants came in a variety of materials such as ceramic, metal and polyethylene plastic. The company claimed that components manufactured with its exclusive E1 Antioxidant Infused Technology had a lower wear rate than other polyethylene products.

In addition to its popular M2a Magnum line of implants, Biomet manufactured other metal-on-metal designs, including the Biomet Stanmore and Exceed ABT. According to Biomet, the company produced the widest range of metal-on-metal hip devices in the industry.
The company released its lucrative M2a line of implant products in 1996, beginning with the M2a RingLoc. From 1999 to 2009, more than 110,000 M2a devices were implanted in patients. Biomet claimed the M2a design increased long-term performance, allowed for a wider range of motion and decreased dislocation rates.
The M2a line included the following models:
The M2a Magnum Large Metal Articulation device was released in the Unites States in 2004 and was one of the company's bestselling devices. Following the release of this device, all M2a implants were consolidated under the M2a Magnum brand.
The devices were monoblock implants, meaning they were composed of a single component, and each M2a model had slight differences in design to accommodate different patient needs. The M2a Magnum line included several acetabular products composed of a cup (or shell), metal liner and metal ball.
The M2a Magnum Large Metal Articulation System was endorsed by former Olympian Mary Lou Retton, who suffered from hip dysplasia and damage to her hips during her career as a gymnast. Retton received a total hip replacement using this device, along with Biomet's Taperloc Hip Stem, in 2005.
M2a implants were designed for active people. The larger head diameter had the potential for more than 160 degrees of motion. The downside to the larger heads was that the surface area rubbing against the inside of the cup was larger, which increased surface wear. That meant more metal particles could be released into the blood and surrounding tissues.
More than 450 adverse events involving Magnum implants were reported to the FDA by patients and doctors. Complications included pain, swelling, premature device failure and fractures that required revision surgery.
A number of people developed pain and disability as a result of the M2a Magnum. Thousands filed lawsuits against Biomet over the design.
In October 2012, a federal judicial panel centralized Biomet M2a Magnum hip implant lawsuits in the Northern District of Indiana. Judge Robert L. Miller Jr. presided over the litigation known as Multidistrict Litigation No. 2391.
Multidistrict litigation is used to consolidate similar cases and improve court efficiency. More than 2,663 people filed lawsuits in the MDL.
Patricia Gill
Patricia Gill, from New York, received an M2a Magnum implant in 2005 in her right hip. In a lawsuit, she claimed that friction and wear between the metal components released chromium particles into her blood and tissues, causing severe pain and inflammation. She received revision surgery to replace the implant. She sought compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and punitive damages.
Christina Kirk
Christina Kirk, an Ohio woman, received an M2a Magnum hip implant when she underwent a total right hip replacement in 2007. She claimed that she suffered severe physical injuries caused by the release of metal ions into her body. She filed a lawsuit in federal court in May 2013.
In January 2014, Biomet agreed to settle all M2a Magnum cases for a combined $56 million. That amounted to a base award of $200,000 for each plaintiff.
The Biomet hip settlement was available for cases in the federal MDL as well as state courts. To participate, injured consumers had to file their claims in state or federal court by April 15, 2014.
People who received a Biomet M2a 38 or M2a Magnum hip replacement system as part of an initial hip replacement that was revised more than 180 days after it was implanted were eligible for a base award of $200,000.
Biomet said it would only fund the settlement if 90 percent of the qualifying cases accepted the settlement. Plaintiffs had to submit information to the court by June 13, 2014. In its 2015 annual report, Zimmer Biomet estimated that it would take $33.4 million to resolve pending claims.

International Challenges and Perspectives

Chapter 6: Are Elected Executives Needed to Achieve Accountability to Citizens? Performance Issues and Form of Government in Large US Cities
James H. Svara
James H. Svara For most of its history, the council-manager form of government has been noted for the high level of accountability that it achieves in comparison to the mayor-council form of government. It is surprising to observe that in a number of large council-manager cities, the rallying cry for change in the city charter to the mayor-council form has been a lack of accountability in the form of government. It is therefore important to re-examine the nature of accountability and how it is related to and differs between forms of government in large American cities. In the discussion that follows we will review the structure of local government and examine the various meanings of accountability. The accountability claims of each form of government will be presented followed by a comparison of evidence on accountability practices in American cities. In the final section a general framework for assessing accountability will be provided, which examines the counter claims. ONE COUNTRY, TWO FORMS The United States is unusual compared to other countries because of the widespread use of two different forms of local government (Mouritzen and Svara 2002). In US cities over 10,000 in population, 36 percent use the mayor-council form (and almost half of these have a chief administrator position), 57 percent use the council-manager form, and 7 percent use some other form of government. The council-manager form is used in half or more of cities with populations of between 10,000 and 250,000, and in about a third...

Without music, life would be a mistake.
– Friedrich Nietzsche
The other day I was in the underground – yes, another underground adventure – when a guy sat next to me, took out some score sheets and started reading them. He was looking at the second page.
I know it's really rude to do so, but obviously I peeked over his shoulder to read the notes. I sang the notes in my head.
I tapped him on the shoulder.
Excuse me, is that a Chopin waltz?
He turned around, surprised. But of course his face lit up. Yes it is!
We struck up some music conversation until one of us had to get off. I love these kinds of little random encounters and chats. Have you had one recently?
I think radishes are great, just raw on their own. Until now I had never made anything with the radish leaves, though the intention has been there for some time. A while back I had caught of a glimpse of pesto made with radish leaves through another blog, so I had been wanting to make use of radish leaves for pesto since then. Now that it's winter and my basil plants have withered away, it's a good moment to make pesto with alternative leaves.
I have to say that the flavour was, em, rather detoxing. It tasted quite green, grassy perhaps. Not that I've eaten grass… It did taste good, don't worry, it's just that with was a tad more green flavoured than how normal basil pesto turns out. I also added a few radishes in there. Just for the sake of it. And for the extra crunchiness.
I used Manchego cheese because that's what had in the fridge at that moment. You could use any other hardish textured cheese, and as much as you want.
1 bunch radish leaves, 3 radishes, 1 handful pine nuts, 1 clove garlic, Manchego cheese, salt, black pepper, 1/3 cup olive oil
Wash the radish leaves. Peel the garlic and remove the innermost core. Put everything in a blender and blend.
Thank you for reading!
