Can. 764 Without prejudice to the provisions of can. 765, priests and deacons, with the at least presumed consent of the rector of a church, have the faculty to preach everywhere, unless this faculty has been restricted or removed by the competent Ordinary, or unless particular law requires express permission.
Let's take a closer look at this canon and what it means.
1) Notice that this canon extends the faculty to BOTH priests and deacons. Unlike other canons which refer specifically to priests, and still others which apply specifically to deacons, this canon speaks to both orders. So, the legal basis by a which a priest (other than a pastor) as well as a deacon preaches at Mass flow from the same law.
2) Notice that the faculty extends "everywhere"; whether I'm in Washington, DC, Peoria, Illinois or Monterey, California or Rome, Italy, the law says I have the faculty to preach.
3) Significant, of course, is the subordinate clause about "with the at least presumed consent of the rector of a church". The PASTOR (not just any priest, but the priest who holds the office of pastor) may legitimately restrict the preaching of any priest or deacon within his pastoral jurisdiction. The law also says that the Ordinary (usually the diocesan bishop) may also restrict or remove this faculty. But notice that these restrictions must be made explicit; otherwise, the deacon (and priest not the pastor) HAVE the faculty. For example, let's say that the document conveying diaconal faculties (this document is called a "pagella") to the deacon does NOT include the faculty to preach. What does this absence mean? Given c. 764, it means that the deacon HAS the faculty to preach and that it is not restricted or has not been removed by the bishop. If the bishop does not want a particular deacon to preach, he has to put that in writing.
4) Furthermore, if the pastor of the place decides he doesn't want the deacon or another priest to preach within his jurisdiction for whatever reason, I would strongly recommend that this restriction be communicated to the bishop. The bishop (and in this case, the law itself) extends faculties to priests and deacons with the presumption that they will be exercised for the good of the People of God. If this is not going to be the case, then the bishop should be informed.
5) Liturgical law (contained in the General Instruction on the Roman Missal and in the other praenotanda to the various sacraments) also contains regulations regarding preaching. With regard to the deacon preaching at Mass, the GIRM notes that the deacon preaches "on occasion". The norm is for the priest-presiding to preach, but he may also ask the deacon to preach the homily. This has caused no little confusion: just what does "on occasion" mean?
Some pastors have interpreted this too mean "rarely" or "only in extraordinary circumstances." This is not correct. What the Holy See was trying to correct were abuses in some parts of the world (not so much in the US) in which priests were never preaching, but turning over that responsibility to others (deacons or lay people). However, given the law we've already examined, the deacon IS an "ordinary" preacher and, while we don't preach at EVERY Mass, we should certainly preach with certain regularity.
Finally, and perhaps most important of all, diaconal preaching should have its own unique character. Deacons can bring their own experience of family and professional life to bear in their homilies. Just as priests can offer insights from the perspective of their own experience, so too can deacons. This goes much deeper than simply telling parishioners what he and his family did on vacation! Rather, the deacon can offer insights about the practical challenges of living out the Word of God in school, on the job and in the family. He can also highlight what he has experienced in his own ministries of charity, and the very real needs of the people he is serving in prisons, hospitals, on the streets and in soup kitchens. This desire to encourage uniquely diaconal preaching is reaching new maturity. Just over the last two years, I have assisted three graduate students completing doctorates in ministry who wrote about this very topic. Two were written by deacons and one by a priest.
More to come. . . .

Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, KG (24 June 1532 or 1533 – 4 September 1588) was an English nobleman and the favourite and close friend of Elizabeth I from her first year on the throne until his death. The Queen giving him reason to hope, he was a suitor for her hand for many years.Dudley's youth was overshadowed by the downfall of his family in 1553 after his father, the Duke of Northumberland, had unsuccessfully tried to establish Lady Jane Grey on the English throne. Robert Dudley was condemned to death but was released in 1554 and took part in the Battle of St. Quentin (1557) under Philip II of Spain, which led to his full rehabilitation. On Elizabeth I's accession in November 1558, Dudley was appointed Master of the Horse. In October 1562 he became a privy councillor and in 1587 was appointed Lord Steward of the Royal Household. In 1564 Dudley became Earl of Leicester and from 1563 one of the greatest landowners in North Wales and the English West Midlands by royal grants.Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, was one of Elizabeth's leading statesmen, involved in domestic as well as foreign politics alongside William Cecil and Francis Walsingham. Although he refused to be married to Mary, Queen of Scots, Dudley was for a long time relatively sympathetic to her until from the mid-1580s he strongly advocated her execution. As patron of the Puritan movement he supported non-conforming preachers, but tried to mediate between them and the bishops within the Church of England. A champion also of the international Protestant cause, he led the English campaign in support of the Dutch Revolt from 1585–1587. His acceptance of the post of Governor-General of the United Provinces infuriated Queen Elizabeth. The expedition was a military and political failure and ruined the Earl financially. Leicester was engaged in many large-scale business ventures and a main backer of Francis Drake and other explorers and privateers. During the Spanish Armada the Earl was in overall command of the English land forces. In this function he invited Queen Elizabeth to visit her troops at Tilbury. This was the last of many events he organised over the years, the most spectacular being the festival at his seat Kenilworth Castle in 1575 on occasion of a three-week visit by the Queen. Dudley was a principal patron of the arts, literature, and the Elizabethan theatre.Robert Dudley's private life interfered with his court career and vice versa. When his first wife, Amy Robsart, fell down a flight of stairs and died in 1560, he was free to marry the Queen. However, the resulting scandal very much reduced his chances in this respect. Popular rumours that he had arranged for his wife's death continued throughout his life, despite the coroner's jury's verdict of accident. For 18 years he did not remarry for Queen Elizabeth's sake and when he finally did, his new wife, Lettice Knollys, was permanently banished from court. This and the death of his only legitimate son and heir were heavy blows. Shortly after the child's death in 1584, a virulent libel known as Leicester's Commonwealth was circulating in England. It laid the foundation of a literary and historiographical tradition that often depicted the Earl as the Machiavellian "master courtier" and as a deplorable figure around Elizabeth I. More recent research has led to a reassessment of his place in Elizabethan government and society.

The argument is done
A quick update from the steps. Towards the end of the argument the most important question was Justice Kennedy's. After pressing the government with great questions Kennedy raised the possibility that the plaintiffs were right that the mandate was a unique effort to force people into commerce to subsidize health insurance but the insurance market may be unique enough to justify that unusual treatment. But he didn't overtly embrace that. It will be close. Very close.

Royal Caribbean's Most Passionate Cruisers
We set sail on a Royal Caribbean ship to figure out what about the mega-line floats so many cruisers' boats.
A cruise is a cruise is a cruise, right? Not if you're a highly selective Budget Travel reader. By a margin of 494 votes, BT readers declared Royal Caribbean International (RCI) king of the cruise lines, praising its cheery staff, good value, diverse itineraries, and whale-size roster of activities. RCI's larger-than-life ships may have something to do with it. The Allure of the Seas, which debuts this December, will share the title of world's largest superliner with its slightly older sister, the 2009 Oasis of the Seas. Meanwhile, nine other ships in RCI's fleet are roughly double the size of the Titanic, with at least 15 decks, plus novelties such as mall-like promenades, water parks, ice rinks, and full-blown parades. Up on the pool deck, a daily carnival takes place with blissed-out septuagenarians in hot tubs, mobs of women doing the Macarena, and parents teaching their kids how to dog-paddle. Hard to imagine, right? We set sail on the 3,114-passenger Explorer of the Seas, part of the company's midsize Voyager class, and on a five-night journey from New Jersey to Bermuda, we asked a range of passengers for their insights into why—exactly—everyone and their mother loves this line. royalcaribbean.com, rates start at $379 per person, double occupancy, for a five-night sailing but more typically are $750 to $1,200 depending on the season, itinerary, and ship.
Angelyn, 16; Bret, 23; Leanna, 20; and Ryan Caldwell, 25; of Thousand Oaks, Calif.
It's no surprise that the four Caldwell kids utterly dominated the Explorer's 34-foot-high rock wall: The southern Californians are accustomed to a steady diet of biking, surfing, and bouldering. Though the gang has rented vacation houses in Mexico and Hawaii, this cruise—their first—surfaced as an ideal way to gather the extended clan, including parents, grandparents, and cousins, following Ryan's graduation from Drexel University in Philadelphia this June. Team Caldwell and friends, all 15 of them, hit the high seas running. "We feasted and exercised round the clock," says Ryan. In addition to daily gym sessions, the family also managed to squeeze in plenty of entertainment, including karaoke and an adult scavenger hunt. On one of the last days, the Caldwells were spotted on the sidelines of a parade headed down the ship's simulated Main Street; they were high-fiving and even hugging employees dressed as monkeys and elephants. Says Ryan: "At that point, we'd all become friends."
Best Tip Bring walkie-talkies. "We didn't have them," says Walt, the Caldwells' father, "and it would have helped us find each other."
Wendy Champion, 29, and Vito Ciancia, 31, of North Brunswick, N.J., minutes after their shipboard ceremony
The fact that Wendy Champion and Vito Ciancia decided to make things official after a 13-year courtship was reason enough for a special ceremony. "We wanted to do something memorable—and affordable," says Vito, a systems administrator at New York University. "And we loved the idea of celebrating with our closest family and friends for several days," adds Wendy, a sales manager for a technical publishing company. So while the Explorer was docked in Bermuda, the wedding party gathered in the white chapel at the top of the ship and the Ciancias said their vows (the legal documents had been signed a few days earlier at City Hall in North Brunswick, N.J.). Wedding pictures were snapped on the pool deck, and then the party of 32 piled onto a chartered catamaran for a day of champagne toasts and snorkeling. Wendy was dressed for the occasion in a white bikini with mrs. ciancia spelled out in rhinestones across the bottom and a veil that somehow managed to stay perfectly in place—even after several jumps into the water. Later that night, as the Ciancias cut their wedding cake in the ship's dining room, the veil remained on, looking remarkably fit for the occasion, especially with traces of seaweed still stuck in it.
Best Tip Pack a watch. "We had a hard time finding clocks on the ship," Wendy says, "and since we weren't using our cell phones, we almost never knew what time it was."
Matthew Pascarelli, 30, and Lauriel White, 25, of Merrick, N.Y., drinking Lava Flows (a piña colada/strawberry daiquiri combo)
Matt Pascarelli and Lauriel White set off on their first cruise together with a strict schedule in mind: Eat, sunbathe, nap, drink, and dance. Joining the couple—he's an accountant at BNY Mellon, she's an account executive at a pharmaceutical company—were Matt's parents, who were celebrating their 30th anniversary, and his three siblings and their mates, all from upstate New York. This was everyone's first time on RCI (some had taken a Disney cruise before), but it wasn't long before everyone fell into a groove. Each morning about 11 a.m., the group would descend upon the pool deck to lounge on towel-covered chairs and enjoy the ocean views. Every evening, they made the most of the ship's nightlife. Matt and Lauriel belted out Billy Joel songs at the piano bar ("Hey, no need to be too cool," says Lauriel); Matt and his father came out $400 ahead at the blackjack table. And as a capstone to an incredible trip, Matt's mom and Lauriel had their own bonding moment: doing lemon-drop shots until 4 a.m.
Best Tip Turn on the TV. "There's so much happening on the ship, you can't get to everything," says Lauriel, "but events like the belly-flop contest and the kids' pirate parade get recorded, so you can watch them right in your room."
Melvin, 81, and Betty Luce, 80, of Ridley Park, Pa., at the ship's Schooner Bar
It was a passion for The Love Boat that inspired Betty Luce to book her first cruise with husband Mel back in 1984, and it's been smooth sailing ever since. This Explorer of the Seas trip was the couple's 45th cruise, their 32nd aboard Royal Caribbean. Over the years, the Luces have tested the waters on several lines, passing through the British Isles, Greece, Norway, Hawaii, Alaska, and all of the Caribbean in the process. But when RCI started sailing out of New Jersey in 2004, just two hours from their front door, it became their favorite. Along the way, the Luces have found a rhythm: Betty reads novels on the balcony while Mel walks the ship ("The helipad is always the best forward-looking view except for the bridge, and almost no one knows about it"). And they usually book their next cruise before the end of the current one, a clever loyalty tactic that earns them a $250 discount and a $100 shipboard credit per person. Even dinner—always the 6 p.m. seating—has its own comforting routine: "We don't have to look at the dessert menu," says Mel. "We get ice cream every time: two scoops of vanilla for me, two scoops of chocolate for Betty. What can I say? We know what we like."
Best Tip Check out cruisecritic.com for the latest cruising news and reviews. And for a look at the underbelly of the industry—illness outbreaks, garbage dumping—Mel's go-to is cruisejunkie.com.
Sue, 62, and Mike Boyd, 61, of Parkersburg, W.Va., with seven fellow recent retirees
They streamed onto the ship in matching fluorescent T-shirts. The retirees, as they called themselves, all live in Parkersburg, W.Va., where 9 out of 10 worked for the Wood County school district; several, including Mike Boyd, the director of secondary schools, and his wife, Sue, a seventh-grade geography teacher, had wrapped up their careers just days before. Along with Mike's niece and her entourage of family and friends, the party topped 39. At breakfast, Mike, Sue, and crew would look over the ship's broadsheet, the Cruise Compass, and plan out their activities (trivia contests, stand-up acts). Naturally, the educators couldn't help but absorb some new lessons, such as how to uncork champagne without creating a pop. On the last day in the hot tub, chanting, "No more Mondays, every day Sunday!" they reveled in the fact that this was just their first taste of a very bright future.
Best Tip Pay the extra 20 percent for a balcony room, advises Sue: "The water view from your bed reminds you that you're on the ocean."
The Nooitgedagts, of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, on formal night: Heather Zaleski, 27; Hippy Nooitgedagt, 72; Colton Hummer, 15. Center: Pete Nooitgedagt, 39; Gavin Hummer, 9; Nanci Nooitgedagt Hummer, 44. Bottom: Griffin Hummer, 12; Janet Nooitgedagt, 70; Bill Mills, 32
For years, vacations for the Nooitgedagt (pronounced noy-ka-dot) family consisted of all-American road trips; Hippy, a retired trucker from Pennsylvania, would take his wife, Janet, and their kids, Nanci and Pete, to hear country music in Tennessee, or to commune with history at Valley Forge in honor of the bicentennial. Then, in 1991, Janet won a trip for two on Norwegian Cruise Line's Norway, and the couple converted to cruising for good. On their most recent outing—their seventh with Royal Caribbean—Janet and Hippy were joined for the first time by the entire clan. The group was gathered for Janet's 70th birthday and tested just about every service on the ship. That ranged from the kids' clubs to the restaurant options ("They brought us as many lobster tails as we wanted in the dining room!" Gavin says). The family's whopping bar bill perhaps best speaks to how much fun they had—and explains how all-inclusives find their profit margins. The Nooitgedagts hope to return to RCI next summer, for a nine-night Caribbean cruise. "Where else can you find a floating resort that offers such a great vacation for such a good value?" Janet asks.
Best Tip Going as a group? Don't be shy about asking for discounts. When the Nooitgedagts booked their trip a year out, it cost over $13,000 for their party of 11, but they paid closer to $10,000 in the end, thanks to last-minute negotiations.

Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy
Captivating, remarkable and theatrical, Caravaggio's dramatic painting style made him an immediate success in his lifetime (1571 to 1610), but he was almost completely forgotten after his death, until the 20th century when art historians noted his influence on such other acclaimed artists as Rubens, Bernini and Rembrandt. Come to LACMA to see one of the world's most acclaimed artists in an exhibition devoted to the evolution of his style. The exhibit comprises 56 works, eight pieces from Caravaggio and the rest a sampling of work from 20 other artists from Italy, Spain, France and the Netherlands, all of whom were influenced and affected by the Italian painter. A master of dramatic light and noted for his exaggerated violence, Caravaggio created a style that has been studied and appreciated long after his death. The event is ticketed and has an optional audio guide, so plan ahead and carve out an afternoon to fully appreciate the experience.

Charles Gibson for VEEP!
You just know Charlie Gibson has met with several generations of heads of state, has used his passport extensively and knows what the Bush Doctrine is. (You know, the Bush Doctrine: "Shoot. Ready. Aim.")
Clearly, Gibson knows the territory and can pronounce the names with ease. We've seen him do it, night after night.
As Gibson sat knee-to-knee with Sarah Palin
in the first interview of her life on the international political stage, he proved he could be tough, she proved she's a quick study. Meanwhile, who could help wondering why the country doesn't just go with a proven television statesman or -woman?
The media scrutiny of the Palin interviews by ABC News continues as further portions roll out tonight. What did you see? Was Gibson disapproving? Was Palin flumoxed? Did he land unfair "gotcha" questions? Did she skate by on "a blizzard of words," as he put it?

Report #2 on my 2011 genealogy research trip to PanamaExactly a week after visiting the Vallee graves I returned to Corozal with my father's cousin, Enrique, who showed me where my paternal grandfather's siblings and their mother are buried. Sadly, the cemetery is not well cared for and the state of the grave sites range from kinda bad to deplorable.
Garfield Thomas, the eldest of the six Thomas Beckles children, was buried towards the top of a hill. He lived from 24 Dec 1910 through 30 Nov 1966.
Alwilda Thomas Nurse (second eldest) and Clyde Thomas (fourth-born) were laid to rest right next to each other in another section of the cemetery.
Though the headstones state Clyde passed away in 1980 and Alwilda died in 1981, Enrique remembers clearly that they died just a few days apart from each other, which is why it was possible for them to be buried in adjoining plots.
Enrique said that Alwilda's gravemarker is the one that is correct and that they both passed away in 1981.
Last but not least, my great-grandmother Clarissa Beckles Thomas was downhill from her eldest child, Garfield. No exact dates are given for her birth or death but the headstone indicates she lived from 1886 through 1964. I can't be sure how accurate the birthyear is. As I discussed in a previous post, the estimated birth years I arrived at for Clarissa based on her stated age in two different censuses are 1888 (1920 census) and 1885 (1930 census). At least the information on her headstone doesn't widen the window of time I'm looking at!
There were only three out of the eight members of the Thomas Beckles clan whose graves we did not find at Corozal. My grandfather Kenneth passed away nearly a year ago in Florida and was buried next to my grandmother in New York, which leaves my great-grandfather Nathaniel and my great-aunt Carmen. Does anyone else in the Thomas family know where they are buried?

Come Fly With Me

Honu Sunset Swim
"Honu Wisdom"
"Spend more time at the beach. Let worries roll off your back. Swim at your own pace. Enjoy time by yourself. Come up for air. Trust the flow. Slow down. Breathe."
"Above The Darkness"
"Afternoon Flyby"
There were 5-6 sea turtles feeding on red and green algae on the rocks. Two of them were pretty young. When I first noticed them, a few came by and swam around me looking pretty curious. I think they were just letting me know that the algae is their food and not mine =)
"Shaking The Dust Off"
I had to jump in the ocean today. It had been too long since the last time swimming around with these guys.
I saw this sea turtle taking a nap underneath the reef with just the back flippers sticking out 😜 I came back to that spot about 10-15 minutes later, and she was just waking up to swim to the surface for some air.
This is the smallest sea turtle I've seen while snorkeling and her shell was pristine. It was just covered in a bunch of sand.

I'm a little surprised no one has done a story on the bed bug problems at Walt Disney World. We have over 21 reports just for Walt Disney World itself, but if you do a hotel search on "Disney" you'll see the problem is widespread, and that there are many nearby listings from Orlando resorts and hotels.
I'd be very curious to hear how the Disney company is handling their bed bug problem.

Cesarean Scar: Cj's Story
I absolutely love this site. I wish when I was younger there had been something available such as this. I had my first two babies before we ever had the internet. It's nice to see other women go through the same thing. And also nice to be able to share with others.
One thing to note are that my scar changed with each baby! I have three children and have three c-sections. It could have been weight gain, obviously, but even after the first baby my scar did not look very pleasant in the presence of A LOT of stretch marks. Now I am much heavier than I ever was and it shows in my belly but I am happier with myself that I have ever been. There came a time in my life where I came to terms with my body and my c-sections and birth stories. I stopped obsessing with not getting my vaginal birth a long time ago, so for anyone who feels cheated out of vaginal birth...you may still feel at peace with it later. I feel connected to my children, regardless. They each have their own story of how they came into this world. My stomach was crooked and more pronounced on one side after my first c-section, and it looks like my belly still has that issue! If you look closely you might be able to count three c-section scars, and a tubal reversal scar (which is smaller in width). My scars got much lighter with time.
I am not quite 5' tall, 4' 11" 3/4 if we want to be exact. I weighed about 138 pounds at delivery of my first baby and every stretch mark you see on that belly was created during my first pregnancy. I guess I was stretched out enough for the other two. My almost 18 year old daughter was born in June of 1992 at 7lbs. 10 ounces and 20 3/4" long, a week late, and I was only 18 years old myself. She was as gorgeous as she is now, with dark hair and blue eyes, and olive colored skin (not like her mama!). She was born in a military hospital, they didn't offer epidurals, and I had 18 hours of labor. Surprisingly I handled the labor pretty well! I was tired but I didn't freak out. I dilated to an 8 but didn't progress and her head was floating, she never really engaged. Thus the c-section. I wish my labor had been different. I was stuck in a cold room, in a hospital bad, catherized, no medication, and unable to move! I think if I had been in a more natural setting it may have helped me to move around and get her moved into position, but that's just a theory.She was slightly unresponsive at birth, no loud cries, just a little squeak out of her. She was stressed out by that long labor. Also of note here is that the hospital didnt get me out of bed for two days straight. They didn't have me move and I stayed catherized. It was terrible and I think subsequently made my uterus not heal well and created a lot of scar tissue.
My second pregnancy I weighed 142 pounds at delivery. I was 20 years old, going on 21. I wanted a VBAC with him and desperately tried what was within my power to have that happen. They induced my labor 2 days before he was due because I was low in amniotic fluid, very low. 12 hours of labor, an epidural, and a pain that I could never describe that even the epidural didn't seem to take care of. They kept telling me it was his head moving down but it sure didn't feel like that. I dilated to a 6. I did not handle that labor as well as my first. There was a lot of pain and crying with my contractions. I don't know exactly what made the doctor decide to do a c-section but I know I was sad about it. My Dad called and said to me while I was in labor "Just do this c-section, this isn't a competition". Well, it ended up being a good call, actually. As my doctor was doing my c-section I had a uterine rupture. The doctor and nurses got to witness right before them the spontaneous rupture across my old scar, through a major artery, and down into my cervix. My son was delivered instantly and he was fine, thank the Lord. He had a bowl movement before he was born, and with little amniotic fluid around him it was stuck to him like tar! He came out screaming and it would be hours til I held him (but once I did, it was like I knew him my entire life). There was a lot of blood loss for me, blood transfusion, and four and half hours of surgery. The doctor was actually preparing to do a hysterectomy but my bladder had adhered to my uterus and they had to call in a urologist to come in and do bladder surgery (I had to walk around with a cathater and my "pee" bag for almost 2 weeks after), which actually saved my uterus because by the time they removed the bladder my bleeding had stopped and they didn't want to risk more hemorrhaging. The doctor begged and pleaded with me to get a tubal ligation and I refused. The doctor told me by no means should I try to carry another baby. I was devastated because I was young and wanted more children. He was born 11/1994 at 7lbs 12 ounces and 20 1/2" long.
The third baby was a surprise. I managed to make it 5 years without getting pregnant. I was worried about carrying her but I had several doctors tell me that it would be ok and it was. She was a planned c-section, she was born 8/2000 and was 8lbs 6 ounces and 19" long, strong and healthy, and came out screaming like an opera singer. The girld coulda busted some windows with that scream and she still can! I weighed 152 pounds at delivery with her. I had a very uneventful pregnancy and delivery. In fact when the doctor delivered her he told me how great my uterus looked considering what I had gone through and that my scarring was minimal and the uterus was not thin as it was before. I attribute it to doing a lot of moving around after my second c-section, cause this helped not to heal everything into one place and cause scar tissue! Moving around is important, but don't over do it. I made sure I moved around a lot after the third baby too. She was big, she was healthy, and the previous doctor was WRONG. I had proof. Regardless, I went ahead and tied my tubes reluctantly.
June 2009 I had a tubal reversal. I have been pregnant twice, with two miscarriages since. My tubes are very short at 2cm each so I think is part of the reason why it's hard to get an baby to implant correctly. My current doctor has reassured me that I can carry another baby, it will be another c-section, but being under good medical supervision I should be fine. My youngest daughter is 9 years old now, so there is a huge age difference in my children and future child to be. I am now 36 years old. My husband is 43 years old. We will try for one more baby and then I will call it quits. I will start my first round of IVF next month.

No. 81,208
U.S.D. #229 and KANSAS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS,
1. Public policy dictates that a period composed of 5 nonconsecutive days off work satisfies the condition that a claimant be disabled for a period of at least one week under K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c). This effectuates the underlying purpose of the Workers Compensation Act for both the employee and employer. The employee is not penalized by continuing to work when able, and the employer is not faced with employees who must sit at home for a week to insure their right to benefits.
2. For purposes of interpreting K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c), when an employee is off work and is receiving sick pay benefits, he or she is not earning wages.
Appeal from Workers Compensation Board. Opinion filed December 30, 1999. Affirmed.
Douglas M. Greenwald and Frederick J. Greenbaum, of McAnany, Van Cleave & Phillips, P.A., of Kansas City, for the appellants.
Kip A. Kubin, of Payne & Jones, Chartered, of Overland Park, for appellee.
Before JUSTICE SIX, presiding, TERRY L. BULLOCK, District Judge, assigned, and ROBERT W. FAIRCHILD, District Judge, assigned.
FAIRCHILD, J.: U.S.D. #229 and its insurer, Kansas Association of School Boards (respondents), appeal from an order of the Workers Compensation Board (Board), awarding claimant Jeri Farrell permanent partial disability benefits.
We agree with the Board and affirm.
Claimant was employed as a teacher at Blue Valley Middle School. On December 2, 1992, while supervising students in the school gym, claimant was struck on the left side of her face with a basketball. Claimant was off work for the next 2 days. For the remainder of the school year, claimant took additional sick leave days or partial days which cumulatively totaled at least 5 days because of the work-related injury.
On September 29, 1994, claimant was again supervising students in the gym when she was struck on the left side of her face with a volleyball. Though claimant continued to work that day, she subsequently missed nonconsecutive work days totaling over 5 days. Claimant received sick leave benefits for all absences due to the 1992 and 1994 injuries.
Respondents argue claimant failed to satisfy the requirements of K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c). Specifically, they argue that claimant was not disabled from working for 5 consecutive days and that claimant's receipt of sick leave compensation equates with earning full wages for any days off work.
At issue is interpretation of K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c), which states in relevant part:
"Except for liability for medical compensation, as provided for in K.S.A. 44-510 and amendments thereto, the employer shall not be liable under the workers compensation act in respect of any injury which does not disable the employee for a period of at least one week from earning full wages at the work at which the employee is employed."
The Board affirmed the administrative law judge's award of 10% permanent partial disability benefits, 5% of which was attributed to the first injury and 5% to the second injury. The Board concluded that 5 nonconsecutive days of work satisfies the 1-week disability requirement of K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c) and, further, that sick-leave pay is not wages earned at the work at which the employee is employed.
The parties also disagreed about whether claimant's sick days were a result of disability arising from the work-related injuries and whether days off totaled at least 5 days after each injury. The determination of whether the Board's findings of fact are supported by substantial competent evidence is a question of law subject to review under the Kansas Act for Judicial Review and Civil Enforcement of Agency Actions (KJRA), K.S.A. 77-601 et seq.; Roberts v. J.C. Penney Co., 263 Kan. 270, 274, 949 P.2d 613 (1997). We will affirm the Board's ruling absent proof of an arbitrary disregard of undisputed evidence or some other extrinsic consideration such as bias, passion, or prejudice. Bradford v. Boeing Military Airplanes, 22 Kan. App. 2d 868, 870, 924 P.2d 1263, rev. denied 261 Kan. 1084 (1996).
The Board's ruling that claimant was disabled from work as a result of her injuries for at least 5 days per injury is supported by substantial competent evidence. That leaves for determination the issues of whether the term, "a period of at least one week," includes a nonconsecutive 5-day period and whether the claimant's receipt of sick leave pay is the same as "earning full wages at the work at which the employee is employed."
Interpretation of a statute is a question of law. Our review of a question of law is unlimited. Osborn v. Electric Corp. of Kansas City, 23 Kan. App. 2d 868, 871, 936 P.2d 297 (1997). Respondents argue that the plain language of K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c) requires 5 consecutive disability days off work. They rely on both Osborn and Boucher v. Peerless Products, Inc., 21 Kan. App. 2d 977, 911 P.2d 198 rev. denied, 260 Kan. 991 (1996).
The issue in Boucher was whether a claimant could recover permanent partial disability benefits "where he did not miss any work as a result of his injury." 21 Kan. App. 2d 979. Respondents suggest that the claimant in Boucher "missed some time from work" because Boucher attended physical therapy sessions two to three times per week for approximately 4 weeks following his injury. We cannot glean from Boucher whether the claimant missed any work by virtue of his physical therapy appointments. More importantly, whether Boucher could accumulate days off to meet the requirements of K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c) was not an issue.
Respondents also rely on the legislative history cited in Boucher. The Boucher court noted that the 1975 amendment to K.S.A. 44-501(c) permitted an employee who incurs medical expenses from a work-related injury yet loses no time from work to receive compensation for those expenses. The statute which preceded the 1975 amendment provided that the employer was not liable under the Act for disability benefits or medical expense payments if the claimant was not disabled for a period of at least 2 weeks. 21 Kan. App. 2d at 981-82. The Boucher court points out that the Speaker of the House, in calling for a meeting to discuss amending the statute in 1975, expressed concern that "state employees hurt on the job cannot have [medical] expenses paid unless they are off 7 days." 21 Kan. App. 2d at 982. The Boucher court states: "The legislature intended there be a 7-day waiting period before coverage under the Act." 21 Kan. App. 2d at 982. This statement in Boucher is dicta. Moreover, there is no authority for the statement in the legislative history recounted by the court. The legislature's primary concern in making the 1975 amendments seems to have been to provide medical expense payments for persons who had not met the disability waiting period.
We do not interpret the legislative history or plain language of the statute as requiring a waiting period comprised of 7 days. The statute, as it existed during the time period relevant in this case, does not define the period in question using the term "7 days." Rather, the statutory language speaks of "a period of at least one week [during which the employee is prevented] from earning full wages at the work at which the employee is employed." [Emphasis added.] K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c). Thus, the period in question is a period during which the claimant would normally be earning wages for work performed. A normal work week is comprised of 5 working days. The purpose of this statutory provision is to provide a means of eliminating insignificant injuries from coverage under the Act. See Raffaghelle v. Russell, 103 Kan. 849, 850-51, 176 P.2d 640 (1918).
Likewise, the Osborn case does not support the respondents' position. The Osborn court noted that the "[c]laimant testified, and the Board found, that claimant has missed no work as a result of his injuries, nor has he suffered any loss of wages." 23 Kan. App. 2d at 870. Thus, the issue before this court was not addressed in Osborn.
In response to the Boucher decision, the legislature in 1996 amended 44-501(c) eliminating all reference to the language interpreted in Boucher and questioned here. L. 1996, ch. 79, § 1. The legislature also enacted language expressing its intent that the amended 1996 version of 44-501(c) apply retroactively. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-501a; L. 1996, ch. 79, § 2. The panel in Osborn found that the rights provided in the statute were substantive vested rights and, as such, could only apply prospectively. Therefore, following Boucher, the claimant's award of permanent partial disability benefits was reversed. 23 Kan. App. 2d 874-75.
Respondents maintain K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(g) requires impartial application of the Act to employees and employers alike and the Board improperly applied a liberal interpretation in favor of the injured employee. To this end, respondents interpret 44-501(c) as requiring a claimant to have a medically documented disability from performing his or her job functions for a period of 5 consecutive days. We find 44-501(g) does not change the policy requiring liberal construction of the workers compensation law to effectuate the underlying policy of the Act for both employee and employer. See Kinder v. Murray & Sons Construction, 264 Kan. 484, 493, 957 P.2d 488 (1998).
The Board found that claimant was disabled from performing her job for a cumulative period of at least 1 week or 5 working days. The record supports this finding. We decline to add additional conditions to those already imposed by K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c) on an employee attempting to establish a disability from performing his or her job. An employee who continues to perform his or her job in face of a work-related injury but is required to be off the job from time to time should not be penalized. A primary purpose of the Workers Compensation Act is to return employees to work at a comparable wage. K.S.A. 44-510g(a). We find that public policy dictates that a period composed of 5 nonconsecutive days off work satisfies the condition that a claimant be disabled for a period of at least 1 week under K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 44-501(c). This effectuates the underlying purpose of the Workers Compensation Act for both employee and employer. The employee is not penalized by continuing to work when able, and the employer is not faced with employees who must sit at home for a week to insure their right to benefits.
The last issue we must address is whether claimant was disabled from earning full wages. Respondents argue that claimant never suffered a loss of wages because she received annual paid sick leave during her period of absence from work.
We recently held that sick-pay benefits did not meet the definition of "wages" under K.S.A. 44-511. Bohanan v. U.S.D. No. 260, 24 Kan. App. 2d 362, 375-76, 947 P.2d 440 (1997). For purposes of interpreting 44-501(c), when an employee is off work and is receiving sick-pay benefits, he or she is not earning wages. We further note that in the modern work environment, nearly every employer provides some form of sick leave pay. Respondents' interpretation of wages would essentially nullify the purpose of the statute at issue here.

The return of Fred Jackson to practice on Wednesday raised the question of which running back the Bills would start against the Colts this Sunday.
Coach Chan Gailey answered it and the answer is one that will bring a smile to the face of anyone who's been hoping to see C.J. Spiller remain Buffalo's feature back. Spiller's going to start and, according to Gailey, that's going to go beyond being on the field for the first offensive play of the game.
"C.J. will start, but we're still going to play Fred," said Gailey, via the team's website. "It takes two. It does. So Fred will get quite a few snaps, but C.J. will start and get the majority of the snaps."
Both backs downplayed the importance of the quantity of snaps, but things have been tilting in this direction all season. Spiller's made big plays on the ground and in the passing game often enough that people have been calling for a recalibration of playing time since the first few weeks of the season. When Spiller handled an inflated workload against Miami without any real drop in productivity last Thursday, the team pretty much ran out of reasons to turn back to Jackson as the first man in the rotation.
They're better off with both of them healthy, though, and Gailey would be wise to ride both backs as the team tries for their fifth win of the season in Indianapolis.

Waking Up To Good News!
So now, not only has THE PLEDGE gotten mad love from KIRKUS and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, but VOYA is calling it "fast-paced and engrossing", while BOOKLIST says "Derting (Desires of the Dead, 2011) gives texture to Charlie's future society, hinting at a not-so distant past when cities had names and people wanted democracy but became corrupt and turned to an all powerful Queen. Danger, dread, mystery, and romance are a potent combination for those that enjoy their dystopian-light fiction action packed."
They say a lot of other nice stuff too, but you get the gist. And, yes, I'm over-the-moon excited that the reviewers are lovin' this book...
I hope it's a good sign!!!!

Started it yesterday and I wish I could stay home to read it instead of working today! I've only read the first fifty pages, but it's really engrossing so far.
The story seems like such a departure from your Body Finder books, but there's still a very strong sense of your authorial voice and style.
Can't wait to get back to reading!

School board sets salary range for next Groton superintendent
Groton - The Board of Education decided Tuesday to offer the next superintendent a salary range of $170,000 to $185,000.
Board members chose the range after hearing from a search consultant from McPherson & Jacobson LLC compare the salaries, vacation time and other benefits offered by six districts in southeastern Connecticut, including Stonington, Waterford, Ledyard and East Lyme.
The current superintendent salary in Groton - $167,475 - was below five of its neighbors. North Stonington offered the lowest salary at $135,000 and Waterford the highest at $206,360.
Sharon Cox, a representative of McPherson & Jacobson, said the job advertisement for Groton wouldn't include the salary range but the company would share it with prospective candidates. The salary would be based on experience and negotiated along with other benefits.
Robert Witten, also with McPherson & Jacobson, said an experienced superintendent can save a school district money by making good decisions, and an inexperienced leader can cost a district a lot of money.
"You know what your community is comfortable with," Witten said. "And no matter what is offered, it's always going to be too much. But I think most people know what makes sense."
Cox said she would recommend a contract length of at least three years, as prospective candidates would expect such a commitment from the community. "Our advice is, if you want to be competitive, you don't have to be the front runner, of course, but it's important obviously, considering how much the person can cost you," to offer a salary commensurate with experience, Cox said.
Groton school board member Kim Shepardson Watson said she wants to be able to offer someone the top of the salary scale if their experience warrants it. "The reality is that we're going to pay a big buck for whoever we get," she said.
Board Vice Chairwoman Beth Gianacoplos said the salary put forward will also determine who applies. "This is the number that will say, 'Is it worth it for me to do this or not?'" she said.
The school board plans to hire a new superintendent by the end of August and held forums Monday and Tuesday to ask the community what it wants in a school leader.
A community survey about the qualities of the next superintendent is also available on the school district website until June 20.
The school board fired former Superintendent Paul Kadri on March 5 for alleged mistreatment of employees. Kadri was placed on leave in May 2012, and the board ordered an investigation at that time into claims he was harassing and intimidating employees, most of whom were women. Kadri has maintained he did nothing wrong.
Current Interim Superintendent John Ramos leaves at the end of the month. Sean McKenna, the assistant superintendent for curriculum, takes over the interim post July 1 and will be the fourth person to hold the job since Kadri was placed on leave.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Fueling recent heavy criticism of Israel amidst ongoing US-brokered peace talks is the perception that construction of new Jewish homes on lands claimed by the Palestinians skyrocketed over the past year.
Even Israeli newspapers on Tuesday ran reports that while new building starts in Tel Aviv had decreased by 19 percent in 2013 compared to the previous year, Jewish construction in the so-called "West Bank" had shot up by 123 percent.
The presentation of these numbers is ill-informed, at best, and purposely deceptive, at worst.
The reason for the seemingly enormous increasing in "settlement activity," as many Israeli officials pointed out, was that for much of 2012 there was a building freeze imposed on Jewish construction in the disputed territories.
So, naturally, any new building in 2013, regardless of how minuscule by comparison to other parts of the country, would register as a major upswing in national statistics.
To put the numbers in perspective, 1,133 Jewish housing units (primarily apartments) were built in Judea and Samaria in 2012. In 2013, that number increased to 2,534 units, hardly a building boom.

Anderson (California)
Anderson [4] is in Shasta County in California.
Get in
By car
By car is currently the cheapest way to go to Anderson. There are two major roads to take: Interstate 5 and California State Highway 273. The fastest way is, by far, I-5 because I-5 is much straighter and CA-273 has construction work on it a lot. However, CA-273 runs along and frequently connects with a major industrial strip called Frontage Road. If you wish to go to one of these places along it on the way, be prepared for a slow ride along CA-273.
By bus
There is only one bus line that goes into Anderson: RABA, from Redding in the north.
Get around
Anderson is a small town, so it is wise to just drive.
Annual events
The major shopping area in Anderson is the Factory Outlets.
Factory Outlets
The Factory Outlets' many stores include:

Goals: KAGUYA, initially named SELENE (SELenological and ENgineering Explorer) was a Japanese mission to map the Moon's surface and study lunar origins and evolution.

JAXA: KAGUYA (SELENE), http://www.kaguya.jaxa.jp/en/index.htm
KAGUYA is a Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) lunar orbiter mission. KAGUYA is named for Kaguya-hime (Princess Kaguya), a visitor to Earth from the Moon in a 10th century Japanese folk tale "Taketori Monogatari" (The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter) and was formerly called SELENE (SELenological and ENgineering Explorer).
The primary objective of the mission was a global survey of the Moon, as well as obtaining data on elemental abundance, mineralogical composition, topography, geology, gravity and the lunar and solar-terrestrial plasma environments. This mission served as an engineering test for future deep space missions.
The mission consists of three satellites, an orbiter containing most of the scientific equipment, a VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) Radio (VRAD) satellite named Ouna and a relay satellite named Okina designed to receive a doppler ranging signal from the orbiter when it is around the far side of the Moon and transmit the signal to Earth in order to estimate the far-side gravitational field.
KAGUYA launched 14 September 2007 on an H-IIA rocket from Tanegashima Space Center. Separation of the spacecraft from the launch vehicle occurred 45 minutes and 34 seconds after launch. KAGUYA deployed its solar panels and high-gain antenna, and completed two orbital maneuvers, the last on 17 September to put it into a 924 x 232,731 km Earth orbit with a period of 4 days, 23 hours and 33 minutes. After three more correction maneuvers, a lunar transfer trajectory injection burn was conducted. KAGUYA carried out its first lunar orbit injection at 21:20 UT on 3 October (6:20 a.m. October 4 JST) and entered a 101 x 11,741 km lunar orbit with a period of 16 hours, 42 minutes. The spacecraft made 6 orbit-transfer maneuvers to lower the orbit to a 118 minute, 80 x 128 km polar science orbit by 19 October. During the transition to lower orbit, the relay satellite Okina was released into a 100 km x 2,400 km polar orbit on 9 October at 00:36 UT and the VRAD satellite Ouna was released into a 100 x 800 km orbit at 04:28 UT on 12 October. Normal operations from orbit for the KAGUYA spacecraft started on 20 October.
KAGUYA concluded a successful two year mission of lunar exploration with a planned impact on the lunar surface. The impact plume was observed by Earth-based telescopes.

Five year-old Adila struggled to keep her eyes open as a doctor pointed a torch in her face during a free clinic held for Afghan refugees in Pakistan's port city of Karachi.
Sitting in a chair twice her size, with her father beside her, Adila was just one of many people being attended to in a bustling hall where the UN refugee agency and the Pakistan Eye Bank Society (PEBS) have organized a free eye clinic on every Wednesday in the month of May.
Afghan refugees using the service have ranged in age from five to 95. They are provided with treatment and medicine for a variety of eye illnesses. After the initial diagnosis, the PEBS offers free treatment at its main hospital for patients with curable eye diseases or infections.
According to Adila's father, Taj Muhammad, the youngster accidentally injured her eye with a knife while cutting an apple at home. Adila was not able to describe what happened. "I noticed her eye was getting red and watery but thought it was a viral infection," said her father, who works as a baker.
Taj took her to the hospital, where her eye was operated on, but to no avail. "It's been three months since the accident, but there are no signs of improvement. Her eye is still red and swollen and she is starting to lose her vision in her right eye," the anxious father told the doctor. And the surgery cost 8,000 Pakistani rupees (US$100), a lot of money for Taj.
Adila is the oldest of Taj's three daughters. He came to Pakistan 15 years ago from northern Afghanistan's Kunduz province. Since the accident in February, Adila has stopped going to school. According to her father, "children were making fun of her, calling her names. She doesn't go out to play anymore."
The doctor examining her said that Adila's cornea had been damaged and a thorough examination would be necessary to determine whether or not her condition was curable.
Among those with less serious issues to address was Abdul Salam, who at the age of 95 received his first pair of glasses. Several other visitors were diagnosed with cataracts and registered for future operations to remove them.
UNHCR Senior Field Assistant Bilal Agha said he was moved to see people arriving filled with hope that they would have their vision restored. "Most of those we're seeing here are people who would not otherwise be able to afford treatment," he added.
Of the 1.7 million registered Afghan refugees in Pakistan, some 71,000 reside in Sindh province, in which Karachi is located.
Adila's father is anxious about the outcome and the cost of her final diagnosis. "It's not just a matter of an eye," he said, "This is her life. How will my child live in this unforgiving world if, God forbid, she loses her vision?"

Lovely salad! It did take me a few bites to get my head around the explosion of different flavours in my mouth but quickly decided I loved it. I only own a hand held grater and it surely was a lot of effort, especially the cabbage is a pain with all those layers of leaves. Will make it again once I own a food processor. Thumbs up for something that has red cabbage and does not remind me of the soggy stuff I had to eat as a child :)
21st Jul, 2014
I must admit if I didn't have a food processor I wouldn't have done this as lots of chopping/grating. However I found this to be a very tasty salad on its own or with some chicken or salmon. I think the pine nuts and seeds are a must as they really do add that bit extra, dressing is also lovely. Will make again.

BuildDirect needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 9 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
BuildDirect is the world's leading online manufacturer-wholesaler of building materials. Since our launch in 1999, businesses and consumers alike have been able to secure for themselves the highest quality building materials at the lowest price.
Our products are backed up by our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee/Free Returns as well as our solid product warranties. Satisfied customers in over 60 countries have helped us become one of the fastest growing building products companies in the world.
Laminate flooring represents about 25% of our sales.
We are a bit like Costco in that customers must buy in bulk. In other words, you can't just buy a box or two of flooring, you must buy at least a 1/2 pallet (approx. 400 square feet).
BuildDirect ships anywhere in the USA and Canada in pallet and truckload quantities; door-to-door, just in time. For international orders by the container, we ship right to your nearest port. Our proprietary logistics system takes the risk and hassles out of shipping and reduces costs by ensuring optimal routes and modes of transport every time. Our freight quotes are firm and include everything - no hidden delivery fees or handling charges.
With BuildDirect, you know you're buying from a company who puts values first, with integrity, honesty, respect for others, and a drive to getting better everyday built into everything we do.
Primary audience is the DIY market (see attached draft personas v2). Secondary market is installers/small builders. Our audience is at different stages in the buying process. Some are researching flooring for a DIY project, while others know what they are looking for and are price shopping.
We know that visitors to our site are quite confident when it comes to shopping online. In fact, the vast majority check out competitive sites such as Simple Floors and Lumber Liquidators before and after visiting our site.
We offer "free" samples to our customers to help them touch and feel the product before buying online or by phone. The samples are free, but customers pay for the Fedex.
In the words of our customers, "I am a BuildDirect customer because they provide the unmatched product value and helpful support I need to have a successful project that I can be proud of".
Our laminate home page http://www.builddirect.com/Laminate…oring.aspx receives tens of thousands of visits every month. However, the page is not organized in a manner that makes it easy for visitors to find what they are looking for.
We are looking for a new design for the "guts" of the page. The header, footer and left nav must remain the same, but everything else is up for re-design.
Visitors to the page are likely in one of 3 stages of the buying cycle:
1. Looking to educate themselves about laminate flooring. Is it the right material for their project?
2. Already decided on laminate flooring, but are trying to narrow down their choices.
3. Ready to browse products, price compare and buy
For the 1st stage, we have an entire Laminate Flooring Learning Center that would be of help. Perhaps we should offer a few links to some of the specific content (e.g. a link to "Is Laminate Right For Me?" or to "Laminate Buying Guide").
For the 2nd stage, we have a Room Designer and a Photo Gallery. We could also provide a way for people to look at different types of laminate such as, laminate with pre-attached underpad, laminate without pre-attached underpad, hand scraped laminate (with & without underpad), etc. And maybe a call to action to browse product samples.
For the 3rd stage, we have brands to explore & a Top 10 list.
Home Depot's laminate page seems well organized.

Emma O'Reilly, who was Armstrong's personal masseuse and assistant in the 1990s, says she rented a car to travel down to Spain to pick up tablets from US Postal team director Johan Bruyneel before returning to France and giving them to Armstrong.
O'Reilly makes the claims in a Radio 5 Live documentary which will be broadcast tonight.
She said: "I went down in an unmarked car, a good six hours drive, and also that was another reason I knew it was something (untoward) because Lance had said to me 'don't tell your boyfriend'.
"There's no way in hell am I going to bring him down, crossing over a border (and) pick up a package. Basically as I used to say to some of the soigneurs (team assistants), 'you are drug runners', and that's what I was being for the weekend.
"And to involve (her boyfriend) in it, without letting him know that 'here, you can come with me if you want, but here's what I'm doing' ...
"So we went down, six hours down that way, Johan gave me the tablets, very discretely, without letting anybody else know that I was getting them, and the following day we want back up to France and then the following morning I met Lance in the car park at McDonald's and just handed them over."
Armstrong was last week labelled a "serial cheat" and a bully who led "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen" by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which has stripped him of his seven Tour de France titles and banned him from cycling for life.
Despite repeatedly denying accusations of doping, in August Armstrong announced he would not fight the doping charges filed against him by USADA, saying in a statement he was "finished with this nonsense" and insisting he was innocent.
On Friday, Bruyneel quit as general manager of the RadioShack Nissan Trek team by mutual agreement, having chosen to contest the USADA charges in an arbitration hearing.
The USADA report states one rider testified "his use of prohibited substances was performed at the direction and with the full knowledge and approval of team director Johan Bruyneel".
