Cambrian Arthropod Was a Loving Mother
An egg clutch has been identified within the carapace of Waptia, an arthropod previously known from the Burgess Shale (Middle Cambrian, dated 508 million years ago). The eggs are highlighted in a photo from the University of Toronto (above), which calls this the "oldest evidence of brood care" in any animal.
Long before kangaroos carried their joeys in their pouches and honey bees nurtured their young in hives, there was the 508-million-year-old Waptia. Little is known about the shrimp-like creature first discovered in the renowned Canadian Burgess Shale fossil deposit a century ago, but recent analysis by scientists from the University of Toronto, Royal Ontario Museum, and Centre national de la recherche scientifique has uncovered eggs with embryos preserved within the body of the animal. It is the oldest example of brood care in the fossil record. [Emphasis added.]
Five examples of the egg clusters were found. The research paper in Current Biology lists the following highlights from this fossil discovery:
Brooded embryos are described in the bivalved arthropod Waptia fieldensis
Waptia from the middle Cambrian Burgess Shale had few but large eggs
A diversity of clutch and egg sizes evolved during the Cambrian explosion
Brooding in primitive arthropods might have required presence of a carapace
The authors explain the significance of the find: "Brood care, including the carrying of eggs or juveniles, is a form of parental care, which, like other parental traits, enhances offspring fitness with variable costs and benefits to the parents." Pointing to another arthropod with smaller eggs from 515 million years ago, they attempt to weave an evolutionary narrative:
The presence of these two different parental strategies suggests a rapid evolution of a variety of modern-type life-history traits, including extended investment in offspring survivorship, soon after the Cambrian emergence of animals. Together with previously described brooded eggs in ostracods from the Upper Ordovician (ca. 450 million years ago), these new findings suggest that the presence of a bivalved carapace played a key role in the early evolution of parental care in arthropods.
The other Cambrian arthropod carried its eggs differently, but no less effectively:
Kunmingella douvillei also presented a different method of carrying its young, as its eggs were found lower on the body and attached to its appendages.
Connecting the dots between small eggs and larger eggs (2mm in Waptia) or where they were carried is the least of the Darwinians' worries. Waptia is a "shrimp-like arthropod" with a lot more body complexity than the ability to lay eggs and hold them under its carapace. It had a nervous system, sensory organs, stalked eyes, antennae, respiration, digestion, and the ability to swim. Nevertheless, the ability to lay eggs and transport them to a protective place constitutes an additional design in this animal, requiring genetics and behavioral preparedness.
It's amusing to see the euphemisms evolutionists use for the Cambrian explosion. The paper spoke of the "Cambrian emergence of animals." The news release calls the Cambrian explosion "a period of rapid evolutionary development when most major animal groups appear in the fossil record." Why call it evolutionary development? If animal groups just "emerged" or "appeared" in the record, that's not evolutionary.
Graham Budd's New "Savannah" Hypothesis
Meanwhile, Graham Budd is back. We saw him in October admitting that the trace fossils at the base of the Cambrian are "bilaterian in origin," not precursors to bilaterians. That notion was strengthened by the news that the "small shelly fossils" may include sclerites from complex animals known as kinorhynchs (see our report). That's not helpful to Darwinians. Now, accompanied by S�ren Jensen, Budd has a new idea to run up the flagpole. In Biological Reviews, he presents "The origin of the animals and a 'Savannah' hypothesis for early bilaterian evolution." The news from the University of Uppsala sets the stage:
The fossil record of animals starts for sure by about 540 million years ago, but their origins before this point have remained obscure. Darwin himself worried about this problem at length in the "Origin of species". But after Darwin was writing, a famous group of fossils were discovered called the Ediacaran biota, named after a remote mine in South Australia where many were found. They are now known to be widespread around the globe from the interval of time just before the animal fossil record starts.
But what are these peculiar organisms? Their very strange morphology has made relating them to modern organisms very difficult, and they have been suggested to be related to anything from plants, fungi and lichens through to recognisable animals such as worms and arthropods.
So what is Budd and Jensen's "savannah" hypothesis? The term is drawn from an evolutionary notion that humans evolved when forests were replaced by grasslands, isolating the forest "hotspots" with distances between them. The change in environment forced our tree-climbing ancestors to come down to the ground so they could travel between the forests, learning to walk upright and forage in the open as they did. A similar situation occurred when the Ediacarans came along, they suggest; scattered nutrient hotspots constituted a "savannah" that created new opportunities for the evolution of motile animals:
In their new 'savannah' hypothesis, they propose that concentration of nutrients both above and below the sediment-water interface were enhanced around the stationary Ediacarans, and the creation of these resource "hot spots" created a very diverse environment, ideal for both diversification and for investment of energy into movement. Rather than the Ediacarans and later animals being direct competitors then, the Ediacarans themselves created a permissive environment that was ideal for higher animals to evolve in. This idea fits well into a modern view of evolution, called "ecosytem engineering" whereby key species (such as beavers) influence the environment in order to create new evolutionary and diversity opportunities for other species. Perhaps then, the Ediacaran taxa weren't impediments but the drivers of the evolution that was eventually to lead to all the rich animal diversity we see today.
Call it the "Come and Get It" theory of the Cambrian explosion. The Ediacarans set the table, put the nutritious food on it, and called out, "Come forth, Animalia!" It's honestly hard not to describe it any other way. The Ediacarans gave their permission? They created opportunities? They became "drivers of the evolution" of animals? The main paper merely states the same ideas with the addition of jargon: "The Ediacaran biota thus played an enabling role in bilaterian evolution similar to that proposed for the Savannah environment for human evolution and bipedality."
It shouldn't be necessary to belabor the point. This hypothesis fails to address the main problem that Stephen Meyer emphasized in Darwin's Doubt: What was the source of the information required to build new complex body plans and integrated organ systems at multiple hierarchical levels? Won't someone please address that question?
Oxygen Again
Let's try two more recent papers. Another paper in Nature Communications looks to oxygen as the cause of animal evolution:
Neoproterozoic (1,000-542 Myr ago) Earth experienced profound environmental change, including 'snowball' glaciations, oxygenation and the appearance of animals....Overall, increased ocean oxidation and atmospheric O2 extended over at least 100 million years, setting the stage for early animal evolution.
The news release from the Birkbeck University of London repeats this theme, implying that oxygen gives permission for animals to evolve: "It took 100 million years for oxygen levels in the oceans and atmosphere to increase to the level that allowed the explosion of animal life on Earth...."
We've already dealt with the just-add-oxygen theory (here and here).
Molecular Clock Again
Last, a dispatch in Current Biology comments on the Yang paper about the molecular clock (see our response here). That paper cast doubt on the precision of molecular clock measurements; here, Pisani and Liu agree:
This imprecision of the molecular clock deep in the history of life is frustrating. While the clock provided hope that divergence times for lineages could be dated in the absence of fossil information, it is now clear that the only way to increase its precision is to improve our knowledge of the fossil record itself, via the discovery of new fossils, resolving the affinities of existing ones, and accurately dating fossil occurrences. With genomic data now available our focus should return to palaeontology, and particularly to the investigation of the early and middle Neoproterozoic. It is evident that in isolation, neither fossils nor molecular data can derive the precise and accurate timescale of life so essential to our efforts to robustly test proposed correlations between the history of life and that of planet Earth.
Obviously this is not helpful to Darwinians either, so it's not surprising that they, too, ignore the information problem.

Open Water Swims
Unless posted otherwise the club will meet on Friday evening at 6:00 for OWS. We will be at Lake Heyburn. We have 2 locations that we have been using there. Please use these links to get to the locations, as GPS has been known to take people to incorrect locations and these pins are accurate.
The first location is outside the park, east of the dam. This will be our meeting spot for now:
data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0: 0x0…
The second is location is inside the park. The charge for this location is $3.00 per car. Please have money in case we need to move to this location.
The rain and storms lately make it hard for us to predict what the swim conditions will be like. The storms have caused debris issues and all the rain has caused high water conditions at the lakes. This may cause us to have to cancel the TAT official OWS. If the decision is made to cancel, you will be swimming at your own risk.
Also, I know we have had several people join in the past couple weeks, please take time to familiarize yourself with the TAT OWS rules at this link:

Turned out to be not a bad morning in VB after all. Waves were nothing all that much - 2 foot with occasional 3 footers - but it was nice being on the water. Caught a few rides. Semi-glassy, quite a few dolphin, water temp about 70, some sun until a line of thunderstorms made their way out to sea south of VB. Heard the thunder, saw the lightning. Croatan was filling up by 7:30. I ended up going to Dam Neck.

Physician With Epilepsy Denied a Reasonable Accommodation and Fired by Coral Gables Doctor's Hospital, Federal Agency Charged
MIAMI - Baptist Health South Florida, a Miami-based hospital system, violated federal law when it refused a reasonable scheduling request from a newly hired physician with epilepsy at its Doctor's Hospital location in Coral Gables, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, a new hire, Dr. Lianette Campos-Sackley, applied for a position at Doctor's Hospital's Gamma Knife Center as a general medical practitioner under the direction of Dr. Aizik Wolf. During her initial interview with Dr. Wolf, Dr. Campos-Sackley notified him that she had epilepsy, which required her to not exceed an eight-hour work day. Dr. Wolf agreed to Dr. Campos-Sackley's scheduling request and, after she interviewed with other members of the Doctor's Hospital staff, she was ultimately hired.
However, as soon as she began working, Dr. Wolf altered the pre-determined schedule and demanded that Dr. Campos-Sackley work additional hours, which caused her health to rapidly deteriorate. Dr. Campos-Sackley consulted with hospital management and renewed her request for a reasonable accommodation in the form of a modified work schedule, but the request was denied. Within a few days, Dr. Campos-Sackley was terminated.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires that employers make reasonable accommodations to employees' and applicants' disabilities as long as this causes no harm to the business.
The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Baptist Health South Florida, Case No. 1:13-cv-21411) in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, after attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through conciliation.
"Americans with disabilities are regularly faced with issues relating to their health," said the EEOC's regional attorney in Miami, Robert E. Weisberg. "Whether or not they will be able to remain employed should not be one of them."
EEOC Miami District Director Malcolm Medley commented, "When people are qualified and able to perform the essential functions required of their desired positions, they should not be ill-treated based on their disabilities or their requested accommodations."
One of the six national priorities identified by the EEOC's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP) is for the agency to address emerging and developing issues in equal employment law, including issues involving the ADA.
Baptist Health South Florida is a not-for-profit health care organization that manages six hospitals, an outpatient facility and a heart institute. Doctor's Hospital is one of its affiliated hospitals in Coral Gables.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's website at www.eeoc.gov.

Technical Details
Trojan:Android/GinMaster.A is a trojanized application which was first seen in the Android Market for (mainland) China by researchers from North Carolina State University. The exploit source code has been publicly available since April 2011.
It is the first malicious software to utilize a rooting exploit that targets Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) devices to escalate privileges on the system. Based on the author's own description of the exploit and examination of its binary, it may also work on Android 2.2 (Froyo) and 3.0 (Honeycomb) devices.
Trojan:Android/GinMaster.A's own description.
However, in the particular sample analyzed, the trojan will only run the exploit if the device version is not greater than 2.3.3 (up to Gingerbread version only).
Trojan:Android/GinMaster.A's use of the exploit may allow it to install additional applications to the device without the user's consent.
The malicious application asks for the following permissions during installation:
Permissions requested by Trojan:Android/GinMaster.A
If the user agrees with the permission requests and proceeds with installation, the application will start up a malicious service in the background. The malicious service is designed in such a way that as long as the main process is running, it will not be terminated by the operating system in the event of a device memory resources shortage.
This is how it looks like on the device in the list of running services.
Trojan:Android/GinMaster.A starts a service in the background.
The malicious service (in effect, the trojan's payload) is triggered when one of the following conditions is met:
- When the trojanized application is running
- When the device finishes a boot
- When a new package is installed on the device.
- When a new package is removed from the device.
All these malicious activities occur invisibily in the background and are performed without notifying the user or seeking consent.
While the trojanized application is running, to the user it appears to be a list of links leading to pretty images:
Some images from the trojanized application

The user can choose not to confirm the update and just press the phone's back button. The trojan however still proceeds to silently download the application package and save it in the device's SD card, all without the user's consent.
Trojan:Android/GinMaster.A automatically downloads the 'update' regardless of user action (click for larger view).
Data harvesting
If any of the trigger conditions for the malicious service is met, it immediately downloads application configuration and harvests the following confidential information from the device:
- Current system time
- International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)
- User Identifier (UID - same as IMEI)
- International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)
- SIM number
- Telephone number
- Network type
- Current version of app (versionCode)
- Serial number
The stolen information is sent to a remote site.
The trojan also collects package information of packages installed in the system (except those with "Android" or "Google" in the package name) and stores them in its local database.
Package information of installed programs harvested and saved (click for larger view).
The trojan also collects package information for apps newly installed on or removed from the device. For this sample, a test install of Skype was used.
Package information of newly-installed program saved (click for larger view).
The collected package information is also sent to the remote site together with the abovementioned confidential information.
The malicious service then proceeds to the rooting process by first preparing the files it needs, then executing them.
The original files are suffixed with png extensions (presumably in order to mislead the user) but in fact they are ELF32 for ARM binaries and shell utility scripts.

At CENTRAL BOOKING, Maddy Rosenberg is the curator for both the ongoing Artist's Book Gallery (ABG) and HaberSpace quarterly Art & Science exhibitions. We do have occasional guest curators in the summer and for the OffLINE Spaces but they bring their own projects to us and they have their own selection processes.
CENTRAL BOOKING always welcomes viewing the work of artists. However, new artists for the Artist's Book Gallery (ABG) are only added if the work differs significantly from artists already represented. These submissions will be reviewed twice a year, December-January and June-July, please submit only at these times. Please adhere to guidelines below.
Work of all media on the topics of art and science will be reviewed on an ongoing basis for exhibitions in HaberSpace. We do only 4 exhibitions annually so please be patient, Maddy Rosenberg will contact you when the particular theme is being curated. Upcoming themes for the future include: Mathematics in Nature, Medicinal Plants, Ecology of Gardens, Paleontology are also open for submissions.
Please note, HaberSpace exhibitions are art and science based, your work should engage with that relationship.
To submit to either space:
Please send specific weblinks or jpegs (72 dpi, unzipped) of the actual work you wish to exhibit (not just a link to your website), with the name of the scientific theme the work is for if for HaberSpace exhibitions (or ABG if for the Artist's Book Gallery) in the subject line of the email. If you are submitting for more than one theme for Haber Space, please send separate emails for each theme (though all work on the same theme should be in one email). Make sure title, size, medium and price are included in the body of the email or an attached document for each work submitted (all work submitted must be available for sale).

On September 9th Apple launched a raft of new technology including the iPhone 6, iPhone 6L and the iWatch. What interested me most was the addition of Apple Pay. With a number of the leading payment providers backing the solution out of the gate, this was an aggressive move to be a leader in the market.
Furthermore, I'm interested to see how this may affect events in the future.
Will it make cashless events more viable? In my mind the answer is 'absolutely'.
But does it spell the death of RFID wristbands being used as a payment solution?
I asked this question to Serge Grimaux, CEO at leading provider of cashless solutions Intelitix.
"We have had more than 1million users of our RFID technology this year alone, and the announcement of Apple Pay is yet another fantastic demonstration of what we've been accomplishing already: that the future is paying with the tap of your wrist!
There is no doubt that mobile phone based systems like Apple Pay will eventually become the norm, but it will take a long time until we see the impact in either stores or at events. Retailers currently don't have the hardware to accept the NFC technology, nor the incentive to change.
When it comes to events, there is fundamental difference in what we do and what these other 'electronic payment methods' offer. We are providing a Closed Loop environment while they operate in an Open Loop environment. With Closed Loop, not only we do not depend on connectivity, we also provide the event organiser with the ultimate power to control all money and all transactions, as well as with access to analyze amazingly rich data. Furthermore, we give the event organiser the possibility to have a direct relationship of the optimum quality with their fans.
Because of this, although Apple Pay is an exciting development in the 'cashless' world, it isn't so much for the event world. It still needs to be coupled with a banking instrument, and it hasn't addressed the fundamental issues of using mobile phones at events: lack of signal and charging facilities, especially for multi-day applications like festivals.
We still believe that RFID presents the easiest, most secure and most user-friendly way of integrating cashless payments into festivals and events. However, at Intellitix, being the innovation company we are, although RFID is the main technology at the moment, we know that this will inevitably change at some point, perhaps to other means of NFC including Bluetooth 4.0.
We'll continue developing our products and offerings alongside these growing technologies and be ready to support platforms like Apple Pay. We also very much believe in vertical integration, from access control, to personalisation via social media, to cashless, and soon to other spheres of activities. Any technology we use will work across all of these areas."

That's pretty sweet. Did you paint it yourself?
Make it idiot-proof and along comes a better idiot
Love the color scheme!
Nice paint man. Yeah a bunch of us have slapped that Focus body on our Rally's. I havent really bashed mine since painting it up. I'm trying to wrip up the stock one still. LOL
BTW I see you like the fastest COLOR!!!
Weak Revenge
Strong Forgive
Intelligent Ignore
Definitely a nice job. The Gulf Oil livery is one of my favorites all time, and yours is done well. However, I think they'd have a small problem with Total (Oil) sharing space on the bodywork.
But DP...that's a BLUE body.
Alt-248 on the number pad = °
Very nice. Waiting for mine.
Nice lid. I want to know how you keep such a clean workspace??
My Black & Blue Rally is faster than your color...
Wow, this is fresh. I love it! Once I get all my internals in order I'm going to have to try my hand at replicating something like this for a "shelf queen shell." I would cringe every time I scraped the thing, so I'd just use it to stare at when I can't bash it.
Thats the nicest looking focus body ive seen so far. Theres something about that blue/orange that fits the body perfectly. Not job.
I'm old and trully thought it was Total Seal piston rings, when you said that Total was an oil company I was bummed. Looked them up and there they were. Oh well, I'm not going to sweat it. I will remember it for future bodies. Thanks

February 2017
We loved taking this class, it was so much fun. Highly recommend it. Chef Fredeic was fantastic, We want to go back and do it again.
December 2016
Awesome. Highly recommend it!!
August 2016
Baking macaroons with Chef Marthe was amazing. My 13 year old granddaughter loves to bake, so I thought this would be a perfect Paris experience, and it was. Chef Marthe was delightful! She kept things at a level even a novice could understand. Can't wait to go back and take another class from her!
August 2016
Marthe was a gem. A true gift of a chef and teacher. She embraced my daughter 8 and I in a way we will forever remember. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience, of my six weeks in Paris it is the best event we have attended.
August 2016
What's better than baking with a Chef in their home? Nothing! We learned so much from Chef Fred. We had made macaroons before but failed and badly I might add. He explained where we went wrong and how to do it the correct way. He explained in detail about ingredients, Heat temperatures and most of all proper tools and bake wear when cooking. Chef Fred, was very nice and made us feel welcomed. We had a great time baking and sampling the macaroons we made. Best of all we got to have a take way for hotel. Thanks you much!
July 2016
This hands on class is a don't miss! Fred was a wonderful teacher and we learned how to make a great salted caramel filling. All of the ingredients were fresh - raspberries, lemon, chocolate and the techniques were fun to master. I enjoyed the wide open kitchen with plenty of work space and jazz music in the background. We had great fun and gained new skills. It was great to leave with our efforts in a cute box!
June 2016
Excellent choice with two children ages 12 and 14. The chef made it so enjoyable for all of us. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see Paris in a different way.
May 2016
My wife has made macaroons at home, but this class gave her inside tips she didn't know. Making macaroons is very precise, and Chef Marthe was fantastic.
May 2016
Fantastic, Chef Marthe made macaroons with my daughter and her friend both 13, they had a great time, and the macaroons are out of this world delicious!
July 2015
Fun and unique experience in Paris. Apartment where the class was held was easy access thanks to a close by metro stop. We probably ate half a dozen before we left with our take home box, all were delicious! The instructor was very patient and made it a good time for all.

Two years ago we were given the film Mirrors, it was a stylish horror film from French director Alexandre Aja (High Tension, Piranha 3D) and starring Kiefer Sutherland (24), based on the Korean film Into the Mirror. It was an interesting mix of Asian horror remake through a French filter in the American system. The movie had great style, a creepy atmosphere, and a neat ending but was not a terribly good movie as it made little sense and did not really hold together. We now have a sequel that in a way is a better movie than its predecessor but is not executed nearly as well, and that's saying something.
Mirrors 2, a direct to video release, sees the Mayflower department store opening up a new branch in New Orleans. The centerpiece of the new store is a big mirror, I am assuming it is from the burned-out store of the first film. Of course, we also know what the presence of the big mirror means, right? My assumption was that the evil from the first movie was transported here. Unfortunately, and I hate to break it to you, it is just a big mirror with no real significance other than it being a mirror in a movie called Mirrors 2.
The story centers on Max (Nich Stahl). He is a guy going through a rough patch. He was involved in a car accident that killed his girlfriend and now he is constantly in therapy for his misplaced guilt, and has fallen so low as to take a night watchman job offered to him by his father who, you guessed it, owns the Mayflower store.
Our hapless hero walks around the building, gets scared by a girl in the mirror, which sends him back to therapy. Then people around him begin dying. So, what does he do? He begins talking to the mirror. Since he is seeing a zombified girl, who actually is a missing person, and the big wigs in gruesome situations it seems only natural that he feels the need to uncover the mystery. It's too bad he doesn't display a little more intensity.
There is not a lot to the movie. It is a straight forward narrative that sets our hero along on his quest, offers up side characters as kill fodder, and has a few police detectives poking around on occasion. Oh yes, there is also the love interest who really isn't a love interest in Emmanuelle Vaugier (whom you may recognize from Saw II).
It doesn't take long for everything to come together or to understand what is going on. This is what makes it better than the first one. The story is actually understandable, even if one of the mirror's intended victims doesn't make a lot of sense. However, where it make up for its understandable story is in its overall blandness. I will take the convoluted, atmospheric goofiness of the first one.
None of the actors seem all that interested in being there, much of the dialogue is laughably bad, and it is not creepy or scary in the least. They took the first film, simplified it down to its bare minimum and just let it play out in the simplest way possible.
Mirrors 2 is not so much a bad movie as it is a boring one. There is little chemistry, no development, and when it is over I felt nothing.
Audio/Video. The 1.85:1 widescreen video is decent at best. I mean, it is definitely better than what you get on DVD, but it lacks any sort of pop. The overall image is soft and the color palette is drab. It has decent detail, mostly in faces during close ups. Like the movie, it is just dull to look at. The audio track is much the same, save for a few musical stings to wake you up. I wish there was more to say, but this is what it is and doesn't do any more than that. I suspect it has a lot to do with the drab source.
- Watch the Movie in the Mirror. This is kind of neat, during key moments throughout the film you will get a window pop up showing the scene from the perspective of the girl in the mirror and seeing what she does.
- The Other Side: Making Mirrors 2. Warning, the intro to this gives away the end of the movie. This runs nearly 10 minutes and features interviews with director Victor Garcia, the producers, and Nick Stahl. It gives a brief overview of the development and production.
- Keeping it Real: The Visual and Special Effects. I love how it opens with an actress likening her death to the one in Psycho. Yeah right. Still, this interesting in how they did some of this stuff. I particularly like the practical effects.
- Deleted Scenes. A couple of clips are included. Nothing particularly special.
- Into the Mirror. Possibly the best extra is the one I haven't watched. There is a DVD of the film included and that disk also contains the original Korean film Into the Mirror.

On February 7, 2013, the California Supreme Court issued a unanimous opinion in Harris v. City of Santa Monica. The California high court upheld the "mixed-motive" defense in cases brought under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA"). The court's decision is viewed by many as a compromise decision, but it does raise the bar for what a plaintiff employee must prove in order to prevail, and also limits the relief available even when the employee meets the new higher burden.
Harris Facts and Background
Wynona Harris was hired as a bus driver for the City of Santa Monica in October 2004. Shortly into her 40-day training period, she had an accident, which her employer deemed "preventable." Harris ultimately passed her training period and entered into a three-month probationary period, during which she was involved in a second "preventable" accident. Shortly thereafter, Harris incurred a "miss-out" for failure to timely notify her supervisor that she would not report for an assigned shift. When Harris received a written performance evaluation covering her first three months of employment, her overall performance rating was "further development needed." The very next month, Harris incurred her second "miss-out." Two weeks later, Harris informed her supervisor that she was pregnant. The supervisor asked Harris to obtain a doctor's note clearing her to continue working. On the same morning Harris gave her supervisor the doctor's note, the supervisor received a list of probationary drivers who were not meeting standards for continued employment. Harris's name was on the list. Her last day on the job was two days later.
Harris sued the City. She claimed that she was fired because she was pregnant, a form of sex discrimination under FEHA. The City denied Harris's allegations and claimed that it had legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons to fire her: two preventable accidents and two "miss-outs" during her short period of employment.
At trial, the City asked the court to instruct the jury in the "mixed-motive" affirmative defense. Essentially, this defense states that if the employer had both discriminatory and non-discriminatory reasons for firing an employee, the employer should not be found liable as long as the non-discriminatory reasons standing alone were sufficient to warrant dismissal. The trial court rejected the City's mixed-motive instruction, and instead instructed the jury that Harris need only prove that discrimination was a "motivating factor/reason for the discharge." The jury found that Harris's pregnancy was indeed a motivating reason for the City's decision to terminate her, and awarded Harris $177,905 in damages, including $150,000 in emotional distress damages. The City appealed, and ultimately the California Supreme Court granted review of the case to determine whether the challenged "motivating factor" jury instruction was correct.
The California Supreme Court's Decision
While the California Supreme Court did not adopt the legal standard urged by the employer at trial, the decision in Harris contains several employer-friendly aspects. First, the court rejected the "motivating factor" instruction, which had been used in the standard CACI jury instructions, and held that the employee must instead prove that discrimination was a "substantial factor" – a higher standard – in the employer's adverse employment decision. Next, the court held that even if the employee is successful in proving discrimination was a "substantial factor" in the employer's decision, the employer's liability is limited. If the employer is able to prove that it would have made the same decision even absent the discrimination, the employee's remedies are limited to declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees. The employee cannot obtain monetary damages, back pay, or reinstatement. The court explained that limiting the employer's liability in this way would serve FEHA's purpose of redressing, preventing, and deterring unlawful discrimination in the workplace while simultaneously denying employees an "unjustified windfall."
The court also declined to impose a higher burden of proof on an employer asserting the "same decision" or "mixed-motive" defense. The employer need only show that it would have made the same decision even absent the discrimination under the traditional "preponderance of the evidence" standard. Additionally, the court observed that an employer who intends to assert the "same decision" or "mixed-motive" defense should raise the issue in its initial response to a lawsuit, although general language that the employer had non-discriminatory motives is sufficient. The court also noted that there would be no inconsistency for an employer to deny that it had a discriminatory motive altogether while also arguing, contingently, that if the trier of fact finds a mixture of lawful and unlawful motives, then the employer's lawful motive alone would have led to its decision.
Mixed-Motive Defense Also Before U.S. Supreme Court
The mixed-motive defense is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court in Univ. Texas Southwestern Med. Ctr. v. Nassar. Certain federal anti-discrimination laws, such as Title VII's retaliation provisions, do not specifically authorize mixed-motive claims. In Nassar, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether an employee claiming discrimination under these types of laws must prove that the employer would not have taken an adverse action but for an improper motive. This is called a "but-for" causation standard. Currently, there is a split among federal circuits as to whether employees must prove "but-for" causation or whether a less stringent standard applies, in which employees need only show that a discriminatory motive was one of several reasons behind an employer's action.
In 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the "but-for" causation standard applies in cases brought under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"). This means that an employer is not liable under the ADEA unless age discrimination was the "but-for" cause of an adverse employment decision. The California Supreme Court declined to apply the "but-for" causation standard in Harris, as many employers had hoped.
The Upshot of Harris for Employers
Although the Harris decision was not a complete victory for employers, it raises the burden on employees to show that unlawful discrimination was a "substantial factor" motivating an adverse employment decision. And even if the employee meets this higher burden, Harris eliminates the risk that an employee will be awarded monetary damages, back pay, and reinstatement. The decision may deter the filing of lawsuits in mixed-motive cases, and reduce plaintiffs' expectations when it comes to valuing a case for settlement purposes.

Jean Jacques Smoothie Biography (Wikipedia)
Jean Jacques Smoothie is a British disc jockey, born in Gloucester as Steve Robson. He has been DJ-ing since 1994, beginning his DJ-ing in the back bar of a nightclub titled "the Cheesey Club".
He became a surprise one-hit wonder in later 2001 for the song "2 People" (with two different music videos), sampled from Inside My Love by Minnie Riperton, in the UK, which featured on many various artist-compilation albums at the time, such as on Pepsi Chart 2002 and Now That's What I Call Music! 50 (UK series), in addition to a remix on Hits 51.
In 1997, he founded the record label Plastic Raygun, on which he released his first single, "The Magnificent", under the name Brinkley Paste. Robson remarked "Don't ask me why I used that name. Basically it was badly produced big beat, but it sold 1,500 copies". His follow-up single, "Night Time", "combined disco with the funkier end of house". At this time, the Jean Jacques Smoothie stage name was first used, as Robson later remarked "So I decided to come up with a cheeky French name, and Jean Jacques Smoothie was born!".[citation needed]

We present a novel way of interacting with an immersive virtual environment which involves inexpensive motion-capture using the Wii Remote®. A software framework is also presented to visualize and share this information across two remote CAVETM-like environments. The resulting application can be used to assist rehabilitation by sending motion information across remote sites. The application's software and hardware components are scalable enough to be used on a desktop computer when home-based rehabilitation is preferred.
Keywords: collaborative virtual environments; interface devices; motion tracking; tele-rehabilitation

This lesson is designed to increase students' awareness of Common Core Standard Writing (WRI) 4 (grades 9-12). I really like how the resource breaks down the standard from the beginning; thus, the content of this resource is easy to follow and the objectives of it are clear. I also like the checkpoints that the author provides after each section of the resource. This is another feature of the lesson that also helps students easily comprehend the information in the resource. However, I would like to see more visuals and/or videos presenting the content more interactively.
Technical Remarks:
Tutorial is in GoogleDrive.

Madrid - Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the world's top two players, will try to set a record attendance for a tennis match when they face off at Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium in July, the club said on Tuesday.
"The objective of this exhibition match is to set a spectator record for a game of tennis, exceeding 80 000," the nine-times European champions said on their website.
The charity event, to be played on July 14, is being organised by the Realmadrid Foundation and the Rafa Nadal Foundation, with the proceeds going to projects developed by both around the world.
Spaniard Nadal is a well-known Real fan while Serbian Djokovic has been a guest of honour at the club's facilities, and once wore a Real shirt when he walked out for a tennis match at the Madrid Masters.
Djokovic has beaten Nadal is their last seven encounters.

Il re Torrismondo (Torrismondo the King)By: Torquato Tasso (author), Maria Pastore Passaro (translator), Anthony Oldcorn (contributor)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionThis tranlation of Torquato Tasso's ll re Torrismondo, the first to be made directly from the Italian into English, is intended to help those students and scholars who do not command the language of the original text. This translation provides readers with a wider range of the Italian tragedy as a genre; it also allows readers to acquire a deeper awareness of the entire spectrum of the Italian Renaissance in its final brilliance. Tasso's King Torrismondo provides an example of Neo-Aristotelian dramatic theory of the second half of the fifteenth century. It incorporates into the dramatic genre elements of the epic lyric poem. Tasso's langugae can also be studied as an example of imitation of Virgil, Dante, Petrach, and Tasso's own epic. Finally, Tasso's Torrismondo affords us an opportunity of comparative analysis of French, English, and Spanish literature in the development of tragedy as a European genre.
