MHC FINANCING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP TWO, PLAINTIFF AND APPELLANT,v.CITY OF SANTEE, DEFENDANT AND RESPONDENT.CITY OF SANTEE, PLAINTIFF, CROSS-DEFENDANT AND RESPONDENT,v.MHC FINANCING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP TWO, DEFENDANT, CROSS-COMPLAINANT AND APPELLANT.
APPEALS from judgments of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Kevin A. Enright, Eddie C. Sturgeon, Judges. Judgment in case No. D053345 affirmed; judgment in case No. D054298 affirmed in part and reversed in part. (Super. Ct. Nos. GIC777094 & GIE020524).
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Irion, J.
CERTIFIED FOR PARTIAL PUBLICATION*fn1
Appellant MHC Financing Limited Partnership Two (MHC) owns and operates a mobilehome park (the Park) in the City of Santee (the City). This consolidated appeal arises out of two lawsuits concerning the City's mobilehome rent control ordinances.
The first lawsuit, filed by MHC against the City (the MHC Action), was the subject of a previous appeal in which we remanded to the superior court with directions that it determine whether MHC is entitled to recover damages from the City. (MHC Financing Limited Partnership Two v. City of Santee (2005) 125 Cal.App.4th 1372, 1399 (MHC).) The second lawsuit (the City of Santee Action) involves (1) a complaint filed by the City against MHC, in which it seeks, among other things, restitution on behalf of the Park's tenants; and (2) a cross-complaint by MHC against the City alleging, among other things, that the City's mobilehome rent control ordinances constitute an unconstitutional taking of private property and violate the right to substantive due process.
MHC's appeal in the MHC Action challenges the trial court's ruling that MHC is not entitled to damages based on the issues that we specified in our remand directive. MHC's appeal in the City of Santee Action challenges (1) the trial court's ruling sustaining a demurrer to MHC's allegations that the City's ordinances effected a private and physical taking of private property; (2) the trial court's order granting summary judgment in favor of the City on all of the causes of action in MHC's amended cross-complaint; and (3) the trial court's ruling granting summary adjudication in favor of the City on its causes of action seeking restitution and an accounting on behalf of the Park's tenants.
As we will explain, in the published portion of our opinion we conclude that the trial court in the MHC Action properly ruled that MHC was not entitled to damages, and we accordingly affirm the judgment in that action. With respect to the City of Santee Action, in the unpublished portion of our opinion we reverse in part and affirm in part. Specifically, we conclude that the trial court erred in granting summary adjudication in favor of the City on its causes of action seeking restitution and an accounting on behalf of the Park's tenants, but in all other respects, we affirm the judgment.
A. The City's Rent Control Ordinances
Prior to November 27, 1998, the City's municipal code regulated the rents charged by mobilehome park owners through Ordinance 324, as amended by Ordinance 329 (collectively, Ordinances 324/329).
In 1998 a member of a group of mobilehome owners, acting under Elections Code section 9201 et seq., submitted to the City an initiative petition for a new mobilehome rent control ordinance. (MHC, supra, 125 Cal.App.4th at p. 1377.) Less than a month later, another member submitted a modified version of the initiative. (Ibid.) After a petition containing the modified initiative was circulated and signed by more than 10 percent of the City's registered voters, the city council chose, pursuant to Elections Code section 9215, to adopt the proposed ordinance, which was codified as Ordinance 381 and became effective on November 27, 1998. (MHC, at p. 1378.) However, the city council inadvertently adopted the form of the ordinance proposed in the original initiative instead of the form of the ordinance proposed in the modified initiative. (Ibid.)
In January 2001, after becoming aware of the error, the city council enacted Ordinance 412, which stated that the text of Ordinance 381 was corrected to contain the text of the ordinance set forth in the modified initiative circulated in 1998, and that the correction was made retroactive to the effective date of Ordinance 381. (MHC, supra, 125 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1378-1379.) The City began enforcing Ordinance 412 on February 23, 2001. (Id. at p. 1379.)
B. The MHC Action
MHC filed a lawsuit against the City (the MHC Action). The MHC Action asserted, among other things, (1) a claim that the City had violated the Elections Code due to the city council's mistake in adopting the wrong text for Ordinance 381 and attempting to correct the error by enacting Ordinance 412; and (2) a claim that certain provisions of Ordinance 381 and Ordinance 412 violated MHC's right to petition the government for a redress of grievances as guaranteed by article I, section 3, subdivision (a) of the California Constitution (hereafter, article I, section 3(a)).*fn2
On June 6, 2003, the trial court ruled, among other things, that Ordinance 381 and Ordinance 412 were void because the City had not complied with the Elections Code, and that certain provisions of the ordinances (hereinafter, the Unconstitutional Provisions) violated MHC's right to petition under the California Constitution.*fn3 Addressing the remedy for the City's violation of the Elections Code, the trial court stated that "[t]he remedy of future rent increases, as opposed to an award of damages, will adequately compensate MHC. This remedy will place the cost of compensating MHC on those tenants who benefited from the invalid rent control ordinance."
The City appealed the ruling declaring Ordinance 381 and Ordinance 412 to be void because of noncompliance with the Elections Code, but it did not take issue with the trial court's ruling that the Unconstitutional Provisions violated MHC's right to petition under the California Constitution. (MHC, supra, 125 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1381, 1391.) In January 2005 we reversed in part, concluding that the city council properly enacted Ordinance 412 and made it retroactively effective to cure the defects in Ordinance 381. (MHC, at p. 1381.) We remanded with the following instructions:
"The matter is remanded for further proceedings to determine (1) whether MHC suffered any legally remediable injury as a result of any differences between Ordinance 412 and Ordinance 381 and the retroactive application of Ordinance 412 to the effective date of Ordinance 381; (2) whether MHC suffered any legally remediable injury as a result of enforcement of any of the provisions in Ordinances 381 and 412 that the court found to be unconstitutional; and (3) the proper remedy for any such injury." (Id. at p. 1399.)
On remand the trial court conducted a bench trial on the issues specified in our opinion and issued a lengthy statement of decision.
In considering the first issue, the trial court extensively reviewed each of the differences between Ordinance 412 and Ordinance 381 that MHC had relied on for its damages argument, and it concluded that MHC had not established any injury from the retroactive application of Ordinance 412 to the time period between the enactment of Ordinance 381 and Ordinance 412.*fn4
In considering the second issue (i.e., whether MHC suffered any legally remediable injury as a result of enforcement of the Unconstitutional Provisions in violation of MHC's right to petition), the trial court made a two-part ruling.
As the first part of its ruling, the trial court held that MHC was limited to declaratory and injunctive relief to remedy the violation of its right to petition under article I, section 3(a). In support of this conclusion, the trial court cited decisions of our Supreme Court holding that a plaintiff may not recover damages as a remedy for an infringement of its right to free speech or a due process liberty interest arising under the California Constitution. (Degrassi v. Cook (2002) 29 Cal.4th 333 (Degrassi) [free speech]; Katzberg v. Regents of University of California (2002) 29 Cal.4th 300 (Katzberg) [due process liberty interest].)*fn5 In short, consistent with our remand directive, the trial court concluded that any injury MHC might have suffered as a result of the violation of its right to petition was not legally remediable through an award of damages.
As a second and independent basis for its ruling, the trial court reviewed the evidence presented at trial and concluded that, even if a violation of MHC's right to petition was legally remediable through an award of damages, MHC had not established it had suffered any injury. The trial court reasoned that because the effect of the Unconstitutional Provisions was to chill MHC's ability to petition the City for a rent adjustment, it would have to determine whether MHC would have obtained a rent adjustment if it had filed a rent adjustment application with the City's Manufactured Home Fair Practices Commission (the Commission). The trial court then concluded that the Commission would not have granted MHC a rent adjustment had it applied for one during the period the Unconstitutional Provisions were in effect and, accordingly, MHC suffered no injury from the Unconstitutional Provisions.*fn6
C. The City of Santee Action
1. Background
In September 2003, after the trial court in the MHC Action ruled that Ordinance 381 and Ordinance 412 were void, the City sent a notice to mobilehome park owners, including MHC, stating that the annual permissive rent adjustment for 2004 should be calculated based upon the former mobilehome rent control provision, Ordinances 324/329, which allowed an adjustment of 100 percent of the San Diego Consumer Price Index (CPI), instead of 70 percent of the CPI as would have been permitted by Ordinances 381 and 412.*fn7 The notice stated that "[i]f the appellate court reverses the trial court's decision, the [City] reserves its right to recoup and refund to tenants the difference between the one hundred percent of the average rate change in the [CPI] and the annual permissive adjustment permitted under Ordinances 381/412."
MHC then sent a notice to tenants in the Park, advising them that not only would MHC implement the permissive annual rent adjustment allowed by the City, but that effective January 1, 2004, (1) mobilehome park tenants would incur a one-time charge of $920.12, representing "the additional rent that would have been collected pursuant to Ordinance Nos. 324/329 for the period November 2000 to the effective date [of the trial court's judgment,] if those Ordinances had been in effect;" and (2) the base rent at the Park would increase to $708.21, representing "the base rent which would have existed had Ordinance Nos. 324/329 had [sic] been effective and enforced instead of Ordinance Nos. 381/412."
2. The City's Original and Amended Complaint
After MHC rejected a request by the City that it rescind its notice of the rent increases, the City filed a lawsuit against MHC in December 2003 to enjoin it from collecting any rent increase other than the annual permissive rent adjustment for 2004 (the City of Santee Action).*fn8 The trial court denied the City's request for a preliminary injunction, and MHC implemented the two-part rent increase described in its notice to the Park's tenants.
In December 2005, after we reversed the trial court's ruling in the MHC Action and thereby established that Ordinance 412 was retroactively effective to the date of the enactment of Ordinance 381 (MHC, supra, 125 Cal.App.4th 1372), the City amended its complaint to include causes of action for (1) "Recovery of Amount Paid on Reversed Judgment," and (2) an accounting of the rents received from the Park's tenants in 2004 and 2005.*fn9 On behalf of the Park's tenants, the City sought an order requiring MHC to pay restitution of all of the monies it collected from the tenants following the trial court's ruling that Ordinances 381 and 412 were void, including (1) the difference between the permissive annual rate adjustment allowed by Ordinances 324/329 and the permissive annual increase allowed by Ordinance 412; and (2) the base rent increase and one-time payment that MHC implemented in January 2004.
3. MHC's Original Cross-complaint
In April 2006 MHC filed a cross-complaint in the City of Santee Action, asserting five causes of action.
The first and second cause of action focused on (1) the City's enforcement of the provisions in Ordinances 381 and 412 that (as established in the MHC Action) violated MHC's right to petition for a redress of grievances; and (2) the City's retroactive application of Ordinance 412 to the date of the enactment of Ordinance 381. The first cause of action alleged that enforcement of the mobilehome rent control ordinances under those circumstances constituted an unconstitutional regulatory taking in violation of the federal and state Constitutions under Penn Central Transp. Co. v. New York City (1978) 438 U.S. 104 (Penn Central). The second cause of action alleged that enforcement of the mobilehome rent control ordinances under those circumstances violated the right to substantive due process under the state and federal Constitutions in that it imposed "substantial retroactive liability and costs" and it was "an 'irrational' land use regulation."
The third and fourth causes of action focused on the substantive provisions of Ordinances 324/329, Ordinance 381 and Ordinance 412 (collectively the Ordinances). The third cause of action alleged that the Ordinances effected an unconstitutional taking in violation of the state and federal Constitutions under four distinct theories: (1) a regulatory taking under Penn Central, supra, 438 U.S. 104; (2) a physical taking on the ground that "MHC is precluded from converting to another use by the City's political commitment to maintaining [the Park property] as a mobilehome park"; (3) a private taking as described in Kelo v. New London (2005) 545 U.S. 469 (Kelo), because "[t]he clear purpose and effect of the Ordinances was to confer a favor on a discrete number of private individuals who then resided in the Park and who sought to acquire the Park"; and (4) a taking because it required an exaction as a condition to the owner's use of the property as described in Nollan v. California Coastal Comm'n (1987) 483 U.S. 825 (Nollan) and Dolan v. City of Tigard (1994) 512 U.S. 374 (Dolan). The fourth cause of action alleged that the Ordinances violate the right to substantive due process under the federal and state Constitutions.
The fifth cause of action sought equitable indemnification. MHC alleged that "[h]aving created a confusing regulatory scheme of enacting void and illegal ordinances, reviving old ordinances, and filing lawsuits in which they take inconsistent positions on which ordinance is in effect, the City should indemnify MHC for any costs, expenses, or liabilities it incurs defending itself against claims that it has not complied with the Ordinances."
4. The Trial Court's Ruling on the Demurrer to the Original Cross-complaint
The City filed a demurrer to MHC's cross-complaint. The trial court (1) sustained the demurrer to the first and third causes of action on ripeness grounds, with leave to amend; (2) sustained the demurrer without leave to amend as to the private taking and physical taking theories alleged in the third cause of action; and (3) with respect to the first and third causes of action, ruled that the statute of limitations barred recovery for any damages arising before April 7, 2004.
5. MHC's Amended Cross-complaint
MHC then filed an amended cross-complaint. The first cause of action alleged that the City's enforcement of the Ordinances, from April 7, 2004, to December 15, 2005,*fn10 effected a regulatory taking under Penn Central, supra, 438 U.S. 104. The second cause of action alleged a violation of the federal and state constitutional right to substantive due process based on "[t]he City's enforcement since approximately November 1998 of provisions that unconstitutionally chilled MHC's right to seek a discretionary rent increase and its retroactive application of Ordinance 412." The third cause of action focused on "the City's conduct on December 15, 2005, in severing the unconstitutionally chilling provisions of Ordinance 412 to make it a valid law, and then retroactively applying Ordinance 412 to the effective date of Ordinance 381," and alleged (1) a regulatory taking under Penn Central, supra, 438 U.S. 104, and (2) a taking under the theory described in Nollan, supra, 483 U.S. 825, and Dolan, supra, 512 U.S. 374. Finally, as in the original cross-complaint, the fourth cause of action alleged that the Ordinances violated the state and federal constitutional right to substantive due process, and the fifth cause of action sought equitable indemnification.
6. The City's Motions for Summary Judgment and Summary Adjudication
The City filed a motion for summary judgment challenging MHC's ...

|IO error scanning directory
|Wed, 30 Jun 2004 01:33:37 GMT
I searched for a solution for this, but I haven't found one that works. Here's my build.xml snippet: <delete> <fileset dir="${deployment.dir}" casesensitive="yes"> <include name="**/*"/> <exclude name="**/*cache/**"/> <exclude name="**/*templates_c/**"/> </fileset> </delete> I would like to exclude these directories and all their contents from deletion. This works fine when the directories are empty, but when they have contents it fails with: BUILD FAILED build.xml:85: IO error scanning directory /export/www/app/templates_c/%%-21 "%%-21" is a directory that is autogenerated by another process and its permissions are: drwxr-x--x 3 apache apache 4096 Jun 29 00:14 %%-21 Now, is there a pattern I can use that will truly ignore these directories and not attempt a scan on them? I'm quite sure that it's failing due to permissions. Here are the patterns I've tried, but none have worked: <exclude name="**/*templates_c/**"/> <exclude name="**/*templates_c"/> <exclude name="**/*templates_c/"/> I appreciate any help, Thanks! -Theo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

While its close neighbour, Dubai, is often in the spotlight for hitting world records almost every other day, Abu Dhabi is in fact the largest city in the United Arab Emirates and the capital of the U.A.E. With much to offer and located just a short drive from Dubai, visitors to each city should make the effort to visit the other, as both have very different highlights. Here's a look at everything you must do in Abu Dhabi!
A Quick Guide to Abu Dhabi
Prior to Arrival
Etihad calls Abu Dhabi their home base, so be sure to check their site for good deals on flight prices or look at some of their partner airlines around the world. Many nationals do not require a visa to enter the UAE, as well as many others qualifying for a (free) visa on arrival. See a full list here.
On Arrival
The most convenient means of transport into the city is by taxi, offered at a flat rate of 75 dirhams (around $20 USD / $25 AUD). The journey takes around 40 minutes, depending on traffic.
Getting Around
The easiest way to get around Abu Dhabi is by car and by international standards, taxi fares are still quite reasonable. It is also possible to walk on foot, however the heat is likely to deter most.
Getting By
Visiting the UAE as a foreigner isn't nearly as scary as one might be led to believe. Sure, there is a slight culture shock… but as in Dubai, Abu Dhabi is full of international expats making it a very international city. There are certainly some laws to be aware of as this is a Muslim state, mainly:
Dress semi-conservatory with no short shorts or skirts and not too much skin showing. Of course in mosques the dress-code is much more strict, with women being required to cover their head, ankles, and wrists (at the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi you can rent an Abaya to cover yourself).
Don't engage in public displays of affection – i.e. kissing or cuddling in public.
During Ramadan, no one is permitted to eat or drink in public places as this is the Islamic month of fasting.
What to See
Sheik Zayad Mosque – see a full guide to the Grand Mosque here.
Emirates Palace – An impressive display of ultimate opulence. The high tea is delightful!
Ferrari World – As it sounds, this is a large amusement park based on the car brand.
Where to Stay
The city of Abu Dhabi is full of swanky digs, some favourites include:
Emirates Palace – A lush Arabian palace that will leave you feeling like royalty the minute you enter.
Fairmont Bab Al Bahr – Modern and swanky with views of the Grand Mosque.
Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort – A desert escape outside of the city with desert walks, camel treks and endless star-gazing opportunities.
What to Eat & Drink
Arabic food will likely surprise you. Be sure to try hummus, falafel, grilled halloumi, tabouleh, baba ghanoush, and fattoush. Arabic sweets are also pleasantly surprising!
Italian – try Frankie's Italian for home cooked Italian at its best. Open for lunch and dinner @ the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr.
Japanese – try Zuma for delicious typical Japanese cuisine and a great cocktail hour. Open for lunch and dinner @ The Galleria.
Lebanese – try Li Beirut for a taste of the Middle East. Open for lunch and dinner @ Jumeirah at Etihad Towers.
Get Out

The purpose of this experiment is to determine the difference(s) between phiII, NPQt, LEF and chlorophyll content on the different position of Quercus bicolor leaves.
We want to know, How does the position of the leaves in respect with cardinal direction of 4 quadrants; 1 being the northeast, 2 being the southeast, 3 being the southwest and 4 being the northwest on the tree affect photosynthesis efficiency and chlorophyll content in the Quercus bicolor?
We also also want to see how our data compares to the similar study in the fall of 2014.
The reason for these questions are to apply it to a real life application of planting trees, to have the most efficient photosynthesis to produce the most fruit.
We hypothesize that the photosynthetic efficiency and chlorophyll content will be higher on the east side (quadrants 1 and 2) of the tree compared to the west side (quadrants 3 and 4) because of the brightness of the sun is more during sunrise from morning to mid-day then it is during sunset from mid-day to dusk. Because of the location of other trees and buildings there is going to be more shade in the afternoon on the 3 trees compared to the morning, which may have an effect on the photosynthetic efficiency of the cardinal direction directly related to where the sun position is, resulting in a higher value of photosynthesis on the east face of the tree compared to west face.
This study is a local study for BS 172 members to take part in. Checking out the multispeQ #124 device and android tablet #6 for 2 hour increments is how the measurements will be made for this research. The Quercus bicolor; 20050351 07, 20050351 08, 20080316 * 02 are the organisms for this study. These trees were planted in 2005, 2005, and 2008 respectively The sample size is the 3 trees There is 10 measurements per quadrant resulting in 120 total measurements across the 3 trees. We will be using the following protocols: The One Protocol II, to measure PhiII, LEF and light intensity. SPADIII, to measure chlorophyll content. This is because we are comparing our data with the previous year. Methods
Sync MultispeQ device #124 with tablet #6 Turn off wifi on your tablet/phone before going outside. When you get to the tree turn on your MultispeQ and make sure it is synced with your tablet/phone. Find the correct tree that matches the correct tree code on the app. Split tree into 4 quadrants. (quadrant 1 = Northeast, quadrant 2=Southeast, quadrant 3=Southwest, quadrant 4=Northwest) Randomly pick an outside leaf by just selecting a leaf from the left to right in each quadrant, starting with quadrant 1, and answer all questions according to the leaf you have selected. If the leaf you have chosen has multiple colors, the 1st color is for the most prominent one while the 2nd is for the less prominent. If there are 3 or more colors then select that option. The questions include: What tree code? (2008031602,2005035108,20050351*07), What quadrant? (1-Northeast,2-Southeast,3-Southwest,4-Northwest), What position of the leaf? (Middle,Bottom), What color is the leaf? (dark green,green,green-yellow,yellow-green,yellow,rust-yellow,brown-yellow,yellow-brown,brown,green-orange,yellow-orange,orange-yellow,red-green,green-red,yellow-red,red-yellow,3 or more), What # leaf? (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10). Attach your multispeQ to the TOP of a DRY leaf without disrupting the natural bend of the leaf. Make sure the white circular light detector is pointed UP and not blocked. Once you clamp the multispeQ completely covering the two lens with the leaf, IMMEDIATELY push "take the measurement" on your tablet/phone. When you see the graphs check to make sure they look proper then you may remove the multispeQ from the leaf if they do. Confirm that the data is within expected ranges, which is NPQT and PhiII must be positive. If it is, keep it, if not, discard it. Click "Okay" to save the data. Repeat steps 7 through 11, nine more times in quadrant 1. Then, 10 times in each of the other 3 quadrants while changing the quadrant you're in on your tablet/phone. Repeat steps 5 through 12 for the next two trees. To upload the data, reconnect with wifi and refresh the "list of projects" page. You will be notified if the data was uploaded. Run a One-way ANOVA or Two-way ANOVA test to compare the different quadrants between each tree. This will also be used to compare data from 2014 and 2015.
- The One v3.0 (Phi2, NPQt, using Multi-Phase Flash)
The One Protocol to rule them all! Phi2, NPQt combined.
Changes from previous The One protocol: - Removed the Phi1 measurement, which was producing a lot of invalid data (removed by Dan and Frank) - Implemented the multi-phase flash protocol created by Tom Avenson

This is a very old story about a camel that meets various animals and wishes for one of each of their attributes that he thinks will improve his personality. The name 'camel' changes as each attribute is added until he becomes so absurd that he realises that he was better as he was, and not something/somebody else. The book can be read by 7 year olds and upwards, read to children 3 and upwards, and this nonsense fun story can even be enjoyed by those in secondary school. It can be read to a group of children aid discussion on the subject raised.
The story was told certainly in Victorian times when there was no or very little entertainment in the homes. The writer has been telling this and other stories for many years to children and young people of all ages in schools, churches, and youth organisations. Someone told him he ought to write them down so Clive the Magic Camel is the first one.

When a Muslim cleric told Ahmad Salim that sharia law forbids paying interest, he returned his days-old loan to the bank and turned to the fast-growing industry of Islamic finance.
It is a market that has doubled in size over the past four years and is now worth more than $2 trillion (1.6 trillion euros), with demand forecast to soar to new heights.
Salim returned a $35,000 loan just two days after he received it from a conventional bank in Kuwait.
A few days later, he arranged for a loan from an Islamic bank after paying a $700 service charge.
As well as the religious aspect, customers are attracted to Islamic finance by its flexibility, link to real economic activity and its ban on transactions involving speculation or uncertainty, experts say.
To meet ever-increasing demand, Islamic finance has developed numerous products compliant with sharia law, from loans for cars and houses to funding for major infrastructure projects.
Around 40 million of the world's 1.6 billion Muslims are now clients of the Islamic finance industry, which has surged in popularity since its days as a small niche market in the early 1970s.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and other global economic bodies estimate that the assets of Islamic financial institutions grew nine-fold to $1.8 trillion between 2003 and last year.
They are estimated to have already crossed the $2 trillion mark.
The industry, which spans more than 70 countries, could be worth $4 trillion by 2020, according to forecasters including Standard and Poor's.
About 80 percent of the assets are now in banks, 15 percent in Islamic bonds called Sukuk, four percent in investment funds and one percent in Islamic insurance known as Takaful.
Iran accounts for about 40 percent of Islamic banking assets, Saudi Arabia 12 percent, and Malaysia 10 percent.
– Shunning toxic assets –
Proponents argue that Islamic banks outperformed their conventional counterparts during the 2008 global financial crisis.
Their capital and liquidity buffers are seen as helping to shield them during market turbulence or credit shocks.
But the industry, based on the sharing of profit and losses, was badly hit by the second round of the crisis which affected real estate and other sectors in the Gulf region.
Islamic finance's link to solid assets is seen as one of its major strengths.
Introduced more than a decade ago to cater for large-scale financing, Sukuk bonds are among the most successful Islamic financial products.
Sharia prohibits trade in debt, so unlike conventional bonds, which give ownership of debt, Sukuk are asset-based securities that give investors a share in the project. They also offer better yields.
In June, Britain became the first sovereign issuer of Sukuk outside the Islamic world with an issue of 200 million pounds ($310 million, 250 million euros), an offering that was swamped by strong demand.
The global value of such outstanding bonds was $269 billion at the end of 2013, and the market is expected to expand at a double-digit rate, Dubai International Financial Centre governor Essa Kazim estimates.
Sceptics say the booming industry owes its success to religion, but others say it also makes financial sense.

Police Chief To White Officer:
Ya all Should Have Shot That Black Guy
White Officer:
Didn't think he needed killing, sir
Police Chief:
Youre fired!
February 13, 2018
Former Weirton Police Officer Stephen Mader. (Photo: City of Weirton Facebook account)
Chronicle news & opinion
(Weirton, West Virginia) – This one news story may speak volumes about several things; the state of race relations in America, the collective state of mind among some police officials in today's "militarized" police forces or the way in which police officers are taught in America to view a "threat" and to respond to a perceived threat.
Threat training that is vastly different than the way most European and other police officers around the world are trained. The story also may say something about just the way they've always done things 'down south.'
What your collective life experiences, education, race, prejudices, previous encounters with police and political leanings are will most likely predict how you view the information contained herein.
After all, there are no real hard-as-rock
anymore, are there?
With the Trump era we now live in a world of "alternative facts," where the news media is designated the "enemy of the people" by the President of the United States for reporting things the President does not like.
A world where the extremist right wing media echo chamber promotes some of the weirdest, most outlandish and dangerous conspiracy theories and false/fake/phony "news" you'll ever run across – and that millions of Americans buy into heart and soul, day in and day out.
What cannot be denied by anyone however, is a basic, singular fact about this story: the white police officer in this case acted with restraint, using his professional judgment and training in making a decision that he should not shoot a person of color because he did not think that person posed to him a lethal threat.
And for that, he was fired.
Welcome to 'Merica. A place where if you're a cop and you don't draw that .40 caliber Glock and put two or three in some black's guy's center mass when you're police chief thinks that guy deserved it, then you're gone.
Fired. Go apply at Starbucks pal. Leave the police work to us tough guys who know how it needs to be done. You're weak buddy boy. Indecisive. Gonna get some real cop killed some day.
Well, thank goodness for Stephen Mader, a former police officer in Weirton, West Virginia (population about 19,000) who sued after he was fired for not shooting a black suspect during a standoff in 2016, the city has come to an agreement with him that (in essence) he is not a "bad cop" for not blowing that 23-year old black man away that day.
He has settled his wrongful termination suit with his former bosses for $175,000 and a pledge that his now former police department would not prevent him from getting a new a new job in law enforcement someplace else.
Mader says he's "happy to put this chapter of my life to bed."
A day of decision, 2016
Mader was the first responding officer to a 2016 domestic disturbance call involving a man named RJ Williams, a black man who was believed to be suicidal at the time. Mader assessed the situation and determined that Williams did not pose an immediate threat to him
or his fellow officers
, even though Williams was holding a gun.
Why did he come to that decision? "He wasn't angry," Mader previously told the British newspaper The Guardian. "He wasn't aggressive, he didn't seem in position to want to use a gun against anybody. He never pointed it at me. I didn't perceive him as an imminent threat."
So Mader tried to talk the guy down – what any well trained European police officer would have done because that is what would be expected of her.
But as he was doing that, two other cops arrive on scene and almost immediately after showing up, shoot and kill Williams. Boom boom. Problem solved. Another black man down. Next.
Those were the "good cops." The ones that did not get fired. Mader gets his termination letter 10 days later which said he
failed to respond to the threat
and that an, "Unfortunate reality of police work is that making any decision is better than making no decision at all."
But the crazy part is,
Mader had made a decision
. He assessed what was in front of him – hey, Mader's an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran,
he knows what the hell a deadly threat is
- and decided he did not need to send that black guy to the nearest morgue with bullets in his chest.
He just didn't make the decision his good ol' boy West Virginia Police Chief wanted him to make. That is what was at the center of his termination.
So Mader filed suit for wrongful termination. The city said in a statement that the decision to settle was a call made by its insurance provider and that the police department stood by its decision to fire Mader.
That's legal boilerplate nonsense. What it really means is, we were afraid to go to court on this one for fear some jury would award Mader a million bucks and set a precedent around here and drive up our cop insurance rates. Lot cheaper and less dangerous for us to hand him a lousy $175K and walk away from this thing while we can.
There is one other fact of this story that got lost in the news coverage. The message that police chief sent by firing Mader to all other cops is this: don't matter whether you consider that black guy with a gun a threat or not, you blow his ass away or you get fired.

I am very excited to announce a new "Big Picture" gallery on my website which will be a place where people can buy big prints and canvases for wall decor and displays. Camera technology moves at a pace and I try hard to keep ahead where I can. My latest camera files open around 200 mb's at medium format digital quality and this allows for stunning high detail large prints. I intent to add a wide range of pictures which will be suitable for wall decor at home or business. It will take a little while to fill the gallery with pictures but trips are planned and I will make new picture announcements when they are ready. If you have specific ideas please feel free to get in touch through my contact page.
For my clients I will be able to shoot very high detail pictures which will be visibly clearer on the printed page...from double page spreads to 6 foot plus display panels.

The next chapter
Eight years later, I am divorced, remarried, and Zoe, Theo and I are living on a lake in beautiful North Carolina with my new husband and stepdaughters.
Our pet sitter asks us if we would take a dog from a family who just had their 3rd child and didn't have time for their dog anymore.
My third dog
We said yes, of course, and this sweet ugly wart covered splotchy little cutie came to live with us. She had been shaved because her hair had gotten matted when they weren't getting her groomed.
Keenan fit right in with our crowd, and I think was in a tight competition with Theo for the sweetest dog ever.
Zoe was never in the running for that, but I loved her as my first dog and the broken little thing she was.
Kenan was with us for about 5 years. She ended up with diabetes and had to get injections twice a day, and would give me a big lick on the face after every shot. Zoe crossed the bridge at 12 years old, when my son was a little over a year old. Fast forward to 2013 when we lost Theo at 17. My sweet boy. I was heartbroken and had to take a few months before looking for a dog to adopt. Over the past 20 years I had become a HUGE dog and animal lover, and would definitely be adopting from a shelter this time.
Another competitor for THE SWEETEST DOG.
And he may be the funniest.

I'm here to warn you about the dangers of solar terrorism! The situation is far worse than we had earlier perceived. What if your toilet paper (software) is off the grid? Who flushes first after receiving E-Mail? Can one really downsize at will? What really goes down when your traditional output has been tinkered with after you fall asleep for the night.
I don't know why I have ascended to the position of town crier on such issues. One advantage of this blind focus is that I can write whatever I want in this column. I can jot down total nonsense and potential readers won't be too critical albeit there are a few out there (like our enlightened advertisers) who scan these pages with alacrity, celerity, not in search of literary stimulation but for typos and subliminal ink spots.
Nonetheless, it's vital that we keep a realistic view as to our relative importance in this world and not become disconsolate at what we see in the cosmic binoculars. Why just the other day I spent the entire afternoon watching ants trek across the driveway swept away by the knowledge that they were not watching me. Happiness may be obscurity.
While traveling various designated scenic routes (were these same pathways sordid dumps before the feds came in with their signs?) this month we have discovered an assortment on unrelated truths. The windshield is the catalyst, the metaphor for daydreams, a great place to collect insects, or parts of same.
Anyway, so as to yield to the rambling of a windy corrections editor (below) I'll get to the point: This month we've not covered potential President Forbes and his association with a PR firm that made the fish stick great again. We have ignored the innovative Liposuction Bill now pending in the Senate. We lost our notes on cellphone suppositories. Our staff missed Hillary's last speech in Brooklyn Heights, forgot to look in on Bernie's candidacy, missed a chance to photograph a 350-pound man on a full-dress race moped in Placerville, and still hasn't reached agreement on who or what will be the next governor of Texas.
In our story "Hair Bag Houses High-jacked", which focuses on ethics cleansing in Pinkyville, it should be noted that a secret Rasta plan to rid the town of Realtors has surfaced too. It is modeled after the new video game "Let's Bomb Someone Tonight", which despite all the bullet-proof rhetoric regarding gun control, is selling well.
And so here we sit rubbing knees with the Rockies. Sounds intimate…here in Colona it is. If you're trying to find our offices look directly behind Winkie's Feed Lot and just follow the flies. Come the cold weather they'll be gone. Hopefully we won't be reduced to burning bundles of 7-ll firewood like that miserable winter of 1974 in Capital Hill.
Thought for the day: "Ain't nobody hates wind like a mosquito." – Jingles
with Dwin "King" Hevaway,
Executive Corrections Editor
Filing cabinets containing our literary cree and mission statements were regrettably misplaced sometime in the early eighties. The result as you can see is not only a publication lacking a "soul" but also a reprehensible waste of what otherwise may have been useful paper and ink.
A casual perusal of letters received by our office over the last several months has led us to the sad yet inescapable conclusion that various personages within our marginal readership are laboring under a vague although quaint misapprehension that we can read.
The Kente cloth worn by our publisher to various graduation ceremonies wherein he received many honorary degrees and coffee mugs is actually the tartan used by his family during the 11th century before they were kicked out of Ireland for keeping geese (and occasional insobriety).
Summer jobs in our news room advertised as "a stepping-stone to a journalistic career" do not involve journalistic activity per se. Instead of "attractive women only need apply" we meant to say "only attractive women will be hired." We are an equal opportunity employer as long as you don't take opportunity to mean any kind of chance.
Road conditions reported in our Metro section should not be viewed as current. Surely, readers understand that information in a monthly newspaper is not intended to be current at the time it is read. It is only included to confuse Texans, and we would hope that graduates of our fine local schools would understand.
The road map of San Miguel, Cozumel shown in our May issue incorrectly showed stop signs on streets running parallel to the shoreline. This is actually the exact opposite of the actual case. There are many reasons to love Mexico, but the lack of 4-way stop signs is not only refreshing, but illustrates a fundament difference between Mexicans and Gringos: Mexicans have common sense, and an ability to share.
Due to the depth of material in this newspaper, it is recommended that a decompression stop of at least 5 minutes be made reading Rock Soup. For those of you who have read for less than 10 minutes, or whom only look at the pictures, a five minute safety stop in the obituaries should be sufficient.
Stuttering and the shakes, exhibited by our editor, are mercifully removed in the editing process. As these symptoms intensify, it may be necessary to move the editors coroner toa more stable section of the newspaper, or indeed, onto the utter stability of the editing room floor. Rest assured that the ultimate quality of this publication could not be affected negatively, in the opinion of many leading readers.
Vitamin and mineral figures listed on last month's contents page were based on the assumption that you can digest cellulose. This assumption is true for many of our readers. MSG is present in some of our color lift-out sections but overall, fewer than 30 percent of our calories come from fat.
Retroactive price increases for which we billed subscribers last month are solely for the purpose of keeping this newspaper out of the hands of children. The names of all subscribers whom fail to pay this assessment will heretofore be listed in our bi-monthly "enemies of kids" inserts.

Plan to create more land gets commissioner approval
(Almont) A sweeping new blueprint which would effectively create more land in Gunnison County got by a major stumbling block Thursday as the Gunnison Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to give the plan a go.
The concept, brainchild of Tiera Tiera Tiera, a Denver geophysical consulting firm, calls for the expansion of current acreage some 10% each year over the next few years resulting in an additional 145,000 acres at the end of the program, which is expected to be concluded before 2010.
At first cold to the idea the commissioners warmed up when told that the expansion would be comprised of 40% wetlands and another 35% dark timber contemporary, comparable to the Ohio Pass region and lands above Crested Butte. The remaining 25% of the new land would be alpine and sub-alpine tundra.
Environmentalists reportedly have reserved final comments until a public hearing, slated for early March. Although cynical at first, many seem to have adopted the idea from a custodial standpoint allowing potential conservation measures to overcome preliminary fantasies and physical laws.
"We can envision acres of greenbelt, surrounded by Nature Conservatory parcels dotting the landscape," said one HCCA source. "We know what these people are up to and it has to do with feeding the building boom. Sure, we can tolerate a few more trophy homes just so long as at least half of the land is protected from development for all time.
If the land expansion goes as proposed, Gunnison County officials will be hard pressed to find enough wildlife to fill the newly created vacuum. Expanding the current deer and elk herds won't be much of a chore but attracting the right kind of predators, more trout and twice the eagle population could take decades. All parties agree that preserving the food chain, regarding people and wildlife remains a top priority.
"People take the elements of living here for granted," said one commissioner. "Do they think all of these animals just showed up last night? And what of the trees and plants? It took generations for these intricate elements to meld as one ecosystem. If we are going to pursue this exiting experiment with space we want to do things right. Rushing into a poorly conceived notion at this point will spell trouble down the road."
Already the largest county in Colorado, the newly emerging landscape could, in a few years, represent a mass larger than several New England states and the District of Columbia.
"We're not map snobs," said a spokesman for Tiera Tiera Tiera, "or megalomaniacs intent on expanding our reality for the sake of power or profit. We just want to offer rural counties the option of positive growth beneficial to everyone, you know, more elbow room. When the first pioneers arrived they didn't have to deal with land use codes, covenants or easements. Why? Because there was more than enough room for everyone, except of course uncooperative residents like the Utes and the timber wolf."
Whether the existing population centers will expand has not been discussed at press time nor was the necessary construction of new roads connecting old land with new. Percentages of vertical to horizontal parcels likewise has not been undressed.
"We'd like to see more people able to buy land, more animals grazing, more water, said one commissioner, "and, yes, even more sagebrush. Let's not forget the sagebrush."

NEW YORK (AP) — IBM plans to hire 2,000 U.S. veterans over the next four years as part of a broader expansion plan.
The company said in December that it hopes to hire 25,000 people over the next four years, partly for what it calls "new collar jobs" where a four-year degree isn't necessarily required.
IBM, based in Armonk, New York, has also expanded a program to train vets in software used in the defense and law enforcement industries.
"The men and women who have served in our country's armed forces have unique talents and skill sets that make them a natural fit for some of the technology industry's most exciting fields," said Diane Gherson, IBM's senior vice president of human resources.

There is so much history between the two coaching staffs at Kennewick and Kamiakin high schools, it's really no secret what each other's game plans are.
"We know what they want to do," said Kennewick coach Bill Templeton. "There really aren't any surprises."
It's just a matter of which team executes better. And Friday night, it was Kamiakin.
The Braves fell behind early before reeling off the game's final 29 points en route to a 29-8 win over the rival Lions in front of a large crowd at Lampson Stadium.
"I have a lot of respect for those guys over there," said Kamiakin coach Scott Biglin. "Some of those guys were my coaches in high school.
"It's always fun to play against them; tonight was a good night for us."
The Braves (3-1, 2-0 MCC) have now beaten their intracity rival six out of the last seven times. The Lions (1-3, 0-2) last win came in 2012.
As far as the big picture goes, it was a step in the right direction for Kamiakin.
"We are making baby steps to get to where we want to be," said Braves quarterback Tyson Patten, who completed 7 of 17 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown. "We want to make the playoffs and then make state."
For Kennewick, it was a chance to see that by eliminating a few timely mistakes, the best is yet to come.
"I think we are pretty good football team," Templeton said. "We just are making mistakes at the wrong time."
The Lions, coming off a loss to Walla Walla last week, jumped out early on the Braves.
Matthew Driver led Kennewick on a 10-play, 74-yard opening drive that ended with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Brock Sittman. After a 2-point conversion, the Lions led 8-0.
That would be the last time Kennewick would reach the end zone.
Kamiakin scored late in the first quarter on an explosive run down the left sideline by Tomui Faamausili for 62 yards and a touchdown to cut the lead to 8-7. The Braves took the lead for good late in the first half, going 70 yards on four plays in less than 90 seconds, capped by a Faamausili 5-yard run. Faamausili ran the ball in for the 2-point conversion to give the Braves a 15-8 advantage.
"We knew we just had to stay focused," Patten said after the Lions' early score. "We just needed to respond."
The Lions appeared to avoid danger early in the third quarter when Faamausili fumbled the ball at the Lions' 5-yard line. However, Driver was intercepted two plays later by Justin Larsen setting up a touchdown catch by Dalton Tuveson from Patten to push the margin to 22-8.
"That play was huge," Biglin said. "That really got us going again."
Faamausili, who had three touchdowns on the night, broke free again in the fourth quarter, this time for a 72-yard scoring run that capped the scoring and put the game out of reach. Faamausili finished the night with 16 carries for 178 yards and three touchdowns.
"This was a big game for us and these are the kind of games we want to play in," Biglin said.

Tough injury losses for Burlington Central, St. Edward
Burlington Central and St. Edward each lost a key football player to a season-ending knee injury this week.
St. Edward senior safety/wide receiver Saveon Smith was given the bad news Monday. The injury he suffered in a Week 2 loss to Chicago Hope Academy? A torn ACL and torn MCL.
Burlington Central junior quarterback Johnny DiCostanzo was diagnosed Tuesday with a torn ACL and torn meniscus, suffered while pitching the ball in the third quarter of Friday's 38-7 win over Rockford Lutheran.
For St. Edward, which began the season with 23 players, losing a two-way standout like Smith, a player 13th-year coach Mike Rolando considers among the best defensive backs in Green Wave history, is a particularly tough blow.
A four-year varsity player, Smith had 6 catches for 156 yards and 3 touchdowns before he suffered the noncontact injury while running a route to the opposite side of the field where the ball was thrown on a 2-point conversion. He also missed the final 4 games of the 2016 season with an ankle injury.
"I feel for all the kids when they're in this situation," Rolando said. "It has nothing to do with wins or losses or the success of the team at that point. You just hate seeing football torn away from them. Being teammates, being brothers on the field, those are the things you take with you. To see Saveon or any player suddenly lose his senior year to injury, it's just a heartbreaker.
"We started with 23 and we're down to 22. They're all upper classmen. There are no younger guys playing until we need them but we're super thin. We have good quality one deep."
Rolando is confident Smith will still be able to play college football.
"He played four years of varsity football," Rolando said. "He's got enough film. We'll find him a home somewhere."
St. Edward (2-1) plays Guerin (0-3) in a Metro Suburban Conference crossover in River Grove on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
Losing DiCostanzo is a blow to the Rockets (2-1). Through two and a half games the second-year quarterback had completed 27 of 53 pass attempts for 270 yards and 6 touchdowns and had thrown 6 interceptions.
"I just feel really bad for Johnny," Central second-year coach Brian Melvin said. "It's unfortunate. He was starting to find his way."
It's the second time in three weeks a Central team leader has been lost to a season-ending injury. Middle linebacker Ryan Doubek broke his hand in the season opener at Byron.
Sophomore Jake Lenschow (6-foot-2, 175 pounds) stepped in last week to replace DiCostanzo and completed 2 of 3 passes for 23 yards. A tall, slender pocket passer with good mobility, the three-sport athlete gets the nod as Central's starting quarterback the rest of the way. He has the confidence of his coach.
"Jake is a phenomenal athlete," Melvin said. "He was battling for that spot all that summer. He does just as much as Johnny but they are different players. What's great is we really don't have to change the game plan or tone it down because Jake is a varsity quarterback."
Central (2-1) has won 5 of its last 7 games since opening the 2016 season with a 5 straight losses. The Rockets visit old rival Richmond-Burton (2-1) in the Kishwaukee River Conference opener Friday at 7 p.m.
St. Charles East, North quarterbacks ready: St. Charles North's defense will be wary of dynamic St. Charles East quarterback Clayton Isbell when the rivals square off at Norris Stadium on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
Isbell, a third-year varsity player in his first year at quarterback in the triple option, rushed for 217 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries in last week's 23-16 win over Geneva.
"He's got the keys to the car and he's driving it," North coach Rob Pomazak said. "He's a tremendous athlete, no doubt about it. He's worked extremely hard in the off-season and got a lot stronger. He's doing all the things people hoped he could do when he came up as a sophomore. He's a guy you have to prepare for."
Through three weeks Isbell has carried 55 times for 505 yards and 5 touchdowns. St. Charles East (3-0, 1-0 Upstate Eight River) doesn't throw often, but the 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior has completed 9 of 22 passes for 166 yards and 2 touchdowns without an interception.
"We want to get our passing game going a bit more, though we understand that's not what we normally do," East coach Bryce Farquhar said. "We feel we can stretch the field more vertically."
Quarterback Michael Hohensee will be back in the lineup for St. Charles North (2-1) against the Saints. He sat out last week's 45-6 win at Larkin to rest an injury. In two games the 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior has completed 34 of 59 attempts for 553 yards and 4 touchdowns.
"He's back and ready to roll," Pomazak said.
You again: Friday's Fox Valley Conference showdown at Cary-Grove will be the Jacobs defense's second crack at hard-running senior fullback Max Skol.
Mainly a defensive starter as a junior, Skol filled in at fullback for a few games last season when four-year starter Tyler Pennington sprained an ankle. He gave Jacobs all it could handle in Cary-Grove's 35-14 victory. He forced a fumble on defense and carried 22 times for 127 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Skol enters this battle between 2016 state quarterfinalists with 445 yards and 7 touchdowns on 73 carries (6.1 avg).
"He's no treat," Jacobs coach Bill Mitz said. "He's a great, hard-nosed player. He's going to bring it every play so we'd better be ready. But our guy, (running back Loren) Strickland, will bring it, too."
Strickland enters Week 4 with 309 yards and 5 touchdowns in 31 attempts, a 10-yard average. He did not play in last year's matchup due to illness.
Friday Knight lights: A win in Friday's Northern Illinois Big 12 East opener against visiting Yorkville (1-2) is critical to Kaneland's playoff aspirations.
The Knights (1-2) are coming off consecutive road losses at Geneva (28-21) and Rich Central (60-28). They defeated the Foxes 27-21 in Yorkville last season.
"Both teams are in the same boat at 1-2," first-year Kaneland coach Pat Ryan said. "I think we match up well in terms that we both run similar defenses. They are very aggressive on defense with their front seven and teams like that can give an offense fits, but we can really move the ball when we're clicking. We have to make sure we can protect our quarterback and pick up their blitz."
Red Raiders off to the races: Speed thrills.
That was on display for Huntley and its fans in Friday night's 56-12 Fox Valley Conference win at Dundee-Crown.
Especially when one considers the Red Raiders needed only 31 offensive plays to rack up 432 yards of offense. Quarterback Eric Mooney ran for 137 yards on just 5 carries -- including a 46-yard touchdown and turning a near-safety into a 42-yard run.
"We want everybody to get a head on a hat," said Huntley senior offensive lineman Joe Wilson, "and open things up for our explosive quarterback and wideouts."
Oh, and don't forget senior running back Melvin Aninagyei-Bonsu, who needed just 12 carries to pile up 165 yards and 4 touchdowns.
"Melvin and 'Moon' were both on the state 400 (meter relay) team," said Huntley assistant coach Mike Slattery of a group that finished eighth at the Class 3A state meet. "That's a heck of a dimension. Melvin had a couple of runs like this against Jacobs that were called back."
The longest it took the Red Raiders to score was on their first possession of 66 yards in 6 plays in 1:50 capped by Aninagyei-Bonsu's 2-yard run. They actually could have had five touchdowns in only four plays from scrimmage in the third quarter but Mooney's electrifying 57-yard punt return to the end zone was called back because of a holding penalty behind the play.
"To be honest, I'm not really that surprised when you're playing with this guy right here," Aninagyei-Bonsu said of the Red Raiders' quick-strike ability as he glanced over at Mooney. "That's what we can do each and every Friday night. I'm proud of the way the O-line blocked and the H-backs.
"What we showed is what we can do to any team out there, and we can definitely do stuff that we can still get better at."
D-C felt the same way after missed opportunities to prevent some of Huntley's big plays.
"We definitely have to fix our open-field tackling," said D-C coach Mike Steinhaus. "But those guys are great players."
Charging ahead: Even though Ricky Ibarra is only a junior, the running back is one of the most experienced Dundee-Crown players after spending last year on the varsity.
Ibarra scored both touchdowns Friday night -- powering in from 7 yards with a fourth-down pass from junior Josh Raby just before halftime and scoring on a 4-yard run 7:11 after intermission.
D-C coach Mike Steinhaus hopes the rest of his team can follow Ibarra's lead.
"Our young guys are still learning the toughness and how you have to play in the Fox Valley Conference," Steinhaus said. "Our kids are learning on the fly."
The 6-foot-4 Raby and 6-3 tight end Jack Michalski connected 6 times for 90 yards. The first three were good for third-down conversions on D-C's game-opening drive from its 28 that ended up 2 yards short of the end zone behind seniors Ben VanOstenbridge and Isiah Ziegler and juniors Giovanni DeLaTorre, Nikolas Karavidas and Gabriel Kurzynski.
"I'm really proud of the way Raby and Michalski played," Steinhaus said. "I thought our offensive line played well."
Steinhaus said sophomore Kareem Dunner did not play because of "an injury he's dealing with" but hoped to have him back for Friday's nonconference game at East Aurora.

Arizona's Thompson and Tiberio named 7s all-Americans
Courtesy: Arizona Athletics
TUCSON, Ariz. - The University of Arizona celebrated this summer with the selection of junior Brett Thompson and graduating senior Peter Tiberio to USA Rugby's 7s All-America Team. The two led Arizona into the championship match at June's Collegiate Rugby Championship 7s in Philadelphia.
It was the first such honor for Thompson, a former linebacker and special teams football player at Arizona who switched to rugby during his freshman season.
Tiberio's recognition capped an incredible career with the Wildcats that included five All-America selections, three times for 15s and twice for 7s.
Tiberio spent much of this fifth-year senior season playing for the United States National 7s Team in tournaments around the world. Now back at full strength, Tiberio saw his collegiate career ended when he was forced to leave the field with an injury against Dartmouth in the 2012 CRC 7s final. He has contributed this fall to the qualification of the U.S. for the 2013 Rugby 7s World Cup.
After USA gold medals in rugby at the 1920 and '24 Olympic Games, rugby returns as a medial sport at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
