Bill Singer Analyzes FINRA Expungement Rules 2080 and 2081
To say that we live in a litigious age is something of an understatement. That being said, as a lawyer, who the hell am I to complain about more business? Frankly, it's an ill lawsuit that blows no good for the legal profession. On Wall Street, litigation winds often take the form of typhoons and tornadoes, whose devastation lasts long after their winds have died down. Whether fairly named for fraud or victimized by disgruntled customers, securities industry employees find that once customer-dispute information is entered into the Central Registration Depository, its half-life challenges that of any radioactive isotope. Customers' allegations, complaints, settlements, and verdicts literally follow associated persons to the grave.
At one time, the industry had a fairly simple grievance process, which scrubbed clean a given employee's record. The problem with that approach is that a lot of recidivists got to reinvent themselves and cause ongoing damage to unsuspecting customers. After all, a dirty-record wiped clean and an unblemished record look the same if you don't know the difference. As the horror tales mounted about scamsters with sanitized histories who went on to dupe unsuspecting consumers, pressure mounted to deprive the old National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and its successor the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") of the right to take a squeegee to an associated person's record. As with so many reforms that occur as a "reaction" to perceived abuse, the result didn't necessarily produce a fair set of new rules and regulations. Understandably, investor advocates shed no tears for halting what they viewed as an outrageous anti-consumer abuse by NASD/FINRA. What is now on the books is far more protective of investors and far more onerous for industry participants.
How then do associated persons expunge customer information from their industry records? As you may imagine from the preface to this article, it's not a simple process -- and when a regulator does not provide for a simple solution, that also means that the remedy can prove expensive and time-consuming. Welcome to the world of seeking a FINRA expungement. NOTE: This article is the first installment on the issue; more to follow.
FINRA Rule 2080
The steps necessary to expunge customer-dispute-information from the Central Registration Depository ("CRD") are set out in FINRA Rule 2080. Below find verbatim extracts from Rule 2080 with my comments indented:
FINRA Rule 2080: Obtaining an Order of Expungement of Customer Dispute Information from the Central Registration Depository (CRD) System
Bill Singer's Comment: Carefully note that FINRA Rule 2080 applies only to the expungement of a customer dispute and does not pertain to intra-industry matters. Given that the goal of the Rule 2080 expungement is to remove information from CRD, let's start with an understanding of what CRD is, as set forth on FINRA's website:
Central Registration Depository (Web CRD)
FINRA operates Web CRD(R), the central licensing and registration system for the U.S. securities industry and its regulators. The system contains the registration records of more than 3,815 registered broker-dealers, and the qualification, employment and disclosure histories of more than 635,365 active registered individuals.
Web CRD also facilitates the processing and payment of registration-related fees such as form filings, fingerprint submissions, qualification exams and continuing education sessions. Web CRD is a secure system for entitled users only. Firms must complete FINRA's entitlement process noted below to request access to use Web CRD.
It is important to distinguish between seeking the expungement of information arising from a dispute between a FINRA member firm and an associated person, and the expungement of customer-complaint information arising from a dispute between a customer and a member firm and/or associated person. As to the ambit of FINRA Rule 2080, consider this commentary in "NASD Notice to Members 99-54 / NASD Regulation Seeks Comment On Issues Relating To Arbitration-Ordered Expungements Of Information From The Central Registration Depository; Comment Period Expires July 30, 1999." ("NASD NTM 99-54") [Ed: boldface in original]:
In addition, NASD Regulation is continuing to expunge information from the CRD system based on expungement directives in arbitration awards rendered in disputes between firms and current or former associated persons, where arbitrators have awarded such relief based on the defamatory nature of the information in the CRD system. To qualify for this exception from having an award confirmed in court, the dispute must be between a firm and a current or former associated person and arbitrators must clearly state in the "Award" section of the award that they are ordering expungement relief based on the defamatory nature of the information in the CRD system.. (Arbitrators, however, are not required to state explicitly in the award that they have found that all of the elements required to satisfy a claim in defamation under governing law have been met.)
Page 352 of NASD NTM 99-54
I cannot stress enough that Rule 2080 does NOT apply to intra-industry disputes between firms and associated persons provided that no customer party is involved. As such, we are eliminating from the purview of Rule 2080 matters that typically arise in conjunction with purely workplace disputes such as lack of lack of production, attendance, insubordination, promissory notes, wrongful termination, etc. In such intra-industry disputes, FINRA may expunge defamatory information without a court order.
(a) Members or associated persons seeking to expunge information from the CRD system arising from disputes with customers must obtain an order from a court of competent jurisdiction directing such expungement or confirming an arbitration award containing expungement relief.
Bill Singer's Comment: One of the most misunderstood policies on Wall Street is that the route to obtaining an expungement of CRD information is available via two paths. Among the most pervasive of all industry myths is that a CRD expungement may only be "recommended" by a FINRA Arbitration Panel and, thereafter, confirmed by a court. In reality, those seeking expungements are not limited to the relief afforded solely through arbitration but may directly apply for a court order.
<="" span="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: none;">
(b) Members or associated persons petitioning a court for expungement relief or seeking judicial confirmation of an arbitration award containing expungement relief must name FINRA as an additional party and serve FINRA with all appropriate documents unless this requirement is waived pursuant to subparagraph (1) or (2) below.
Bill Singer's Comment: If you opt for the Court-Order-route or you have obtained an arbitration award containing expungement relief (frankly, the Rule should more accurately denote this as a recommendation of expungement from an Arbitration Panel), you are required to name FINRA as an additional party in your petition to a court and you must further serve FINRA in its role as a party.
(1) Upon request, FINRA may waive the obligation to name FINRA as a party if FINRA determines that the expungement relief is based on affirmative judicial or arbitral findings that:
Bill Singer's Comment: Notwithstanding that Rule 2080 mandates naming FINRA as a party, a waiver process exists by which the self-regulatory organization may relieve you of the need to name-and-serve it provided that there are judicial/arbitral "findings," which are further detailed
(A) the claim, allegation or information is factually impossible or clearly erroneous;
(B) the registered person was not involved in the alleged investment-related sales practice violation, forgery, theft, misappropriation or conversion of funds; or
(C) the claim, allegation or information is false.
Bill Singer's Comment: A waiver of name/service may be predicated upon a finding that:
(A) the cited customer claim/allegation/information is factually impossible or clearly erroneous. If you are proceeding with your expungement case pro se (without a lawyer), make sure that you specifically seek a favorable ruling in which the magic words "factually impossible or clearly erroneous" are set forth.
Examples of what might be considered "factually impossible or clearly erroneous" would be if you were named as employed by member firm X in 2015 but had either never been employed by that firm or had resigned in 2011; or
(B) the petitioning registered person was not involved in the specified allegations of investment-related sales practice violation, forgery, theft, misappropriation, or conversion of funds. If you are proceeding with your expungement case pro se, make sure that you specifically seek a favorable ruling in which you are pointedly exonerated via the specific conduct set forth in the Rule.
(C) you may need to research the elements of what constitutes forgery, theft, or conversion and argue that although you did, in fact, commit the alleged acts A, B, and C, that they do not rise to the level of the crime or tort indicated. For example, you may have "signed" a customer's signature but did so with her authorization because her hand was broken at the time. Such conduct could still be a violation of your firm's written supervisory policies but would not necessarily constitute a "forgery," which usually occurs without the prior knowledge and consent of the individual whose signature is in dispute. Similarly, you may need to prove that a client gave you a gift of cash that was never intended as a loan and, consequently, you did not convert his money. Again, accepting such a gift could be a violation of industry rules and policies but might not satisfy the legal definition of conversion.
(2) If the expungement relief is based on judicial or arbitral findings other than those described above, FINRA, in its sole discretion and under extraordinary circumstances, also may waive the obligation to name FINRA as a party if it determines that:
(A) the expungement relief and accompanying findings on which it is based are meritorious; and
(B) the expungement would have no material adverse effect on investor protection, the integrity of the CRD system or regulatory requirements.
Bill Singer's Comment: Nothing like a rule that says you may obtain relief subject to a regulator's "sole discretion" and based upon what that regulator deems to be "extraordinary circumstances." Tough to imagine a more loaded set of dice. If FINRA denies your request for the waiver, it's going to be tough to appeal because Rule 2080 pretty much permits FINRA to dismiss any appeal with the rationale that its ruling is as it is "because we say so."
Regardless of the naked discretion arrogated by the self-regulator, FINRA may grant you a waiver of the name/service requirement if your relief is deemed "meritorious" and would not materially and negatively impact investor protection, the integrity of CRD, or contravene regulatory requirements.
(c) For purposes of this Rule, the terms "sales practice violation," "investment-related," and "involved" shall have the meanings set forth in the Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer ("Form U4") in effect at the time of issuance of the subject expungement order.
Bill Singer's Comment: Would it not have been a preferred rule-making approach to offer the definition of those three key concepts in the body of Rule 2080? Does it truly make any sense to now send readers on a scavenger hunt?
One of the most glaring problems with Rule 2080(c) is its false premise that the Form U4 provides the referenced definitions. If you examine a copy of a U4 and you will see that few, if any, italicized or other important terms are defined "in" the Form. Additionally, the "General Instructions" portion of the Form U4 do not offer any of the definition of the three terms.
There is this oddball page of information floating around in cyberspace. If you locate it, you will see that it is housed on FINRA's website and offers explanations of terms in the Forms U4, U5, BD, BDW, and BR. What you could do, is find this online FINRA page. This document is something separate and apart from the various forms and is certainly not providing "definitions" that are physically "in" the various Forms. By way of guidance, this is what is currently provided under "Form U4 Explanation of Terms":
Sales Practice Violations: Shall include any conduct directed at or involving a customer which would constitute a violation of: any rules for which a person could be disciplined by any self-regulatory organization; any provision of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or any state statute prohibiting fraudulent conduct in connection with the offer,
Investment-Related: Pertains to securities, commodities, banking, insurance, or real estate (including, but not limited to, acting as or being associated with a broker-dealer, issuer, investment company, investment adviser, futures sponsor, bank, or savings association).
Involved: Means doing an act or aiding, abetting, counseling, commanding, inducing, conspiring with or failing reasonably to supervise another in doing an act.
Also READ: "FINRA Rule 2080 Frequently Asked Questions" (Finra.org)
For an excellent primer on how FINRA arbitrators are trained to handle expungement requests, read: "Expungement Training" (Finra Office of Dispute Resolution Expungement Training, October 2016 version).
Now that you have a better understanding to the Rule 2080 CRD expungement process, be careful that you don't get too creative about taking short-cuts. The very next rule in FINRA's rulebook is
FINRA Rule 2081: Prohibited Conditions Relating to Expungement of Customer Dispute
No member or associated person shall condition or seek to condition settlement of a dispute with a customer on, or to otherwise compensate the customer for, the customer's agreement to consent to, or not to oppose, the member's or associated person's request to expunge such customer dispute information from the CRD system
Bill Singer's Comment: A "NO" means "NO" rule. A rare but commendable example of a concise and lucid FINRA Rule. You cannot negotiate a customer's consent or non-opposition to a future expungement request as a condition for settling a customer dispute.
As to the ambit of FINRA Rule 2081, consider "Customer Dispute Information / SEC Approves FINRA Rule 2081 Regarding Prohibited Conditions Relating to Expungement of Customer Dispute Information / Effective Date: July 30, 2014 " FINRA Regulatory Notice 14-31 / July 2014).

Earning Money/Staying Safe: The Links Between Making a Living and Sexual Violence for Refugee Women in Cairo
It is widely believed that economic opportunities provide women with life options, greater participation in decisionmaking and more equity within the household. As a result, they are assumed to protect women against gender-based violence, including sexual assault and exploitation and domestic violence. The Women's Refugee Commission* (the Commission) traveled to Cairo, Egypt to learn if and how this assumption held for refugees from Sudan, Iraq, Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea, who live and work in Cairo. Although recognized refugees and asylum seekers are eligible for a work permit, in reality they are hard to obtain. Most women the Commission met with reported great difficulty in finding employment and meeting their basic needs. Often they are forced to work in unregulated sectors, such as housekeeping and child care, which exposes them to exploitation, abuse and harassment. There are very limited services for women who have been raped or abused, or women who have experienced domestic violence. The Women's Refugee Commission did see examples of promising livelihood interventions, including programs that include vocational training and job placement components. Such programs should be emulated. Key Findings
Refugee women in Cairo report great difficulty in meeting their basic needs, immense obstacles to obtaining employment, and many report incidences of racism and xenophobia.
Lack of legal access to the labor market forces refugee women to work in the unregulated, informal sector, thereby increasing their risk to gender-based violence).
Existing skills training and job placement programs serving refugee women do not include sessions on gender-based violence, nor referral linkages to gender-based violence programs.
Very few refugees will be resettled despite the expectation of many that resettlement in a third country is a viable durable solution.
Key Recommendations:
Livelihood interventions must be brought to scale and more funding should be provided for livelihood programming for vulnerable refugee women.
UNHCR and partnering agencies must include considerations for gender-based violence in all programming.
Efforts to identify durable solutions (voluntary return to country of origin, integration into host country or resettlement in a third country) must be intensified.
The Government of Egypt should reduce impediments to securing work permits for refugees and asylum seekers, enabling broader access to the labor market.

J Pouch and Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Medic Alert Card
It is very common for patients with ileo-anal pouch (J Pouch) to suffer with B12 deficiency but this may not be picked up by routine blood tests
Vitamin B12 is absorbed in the end ileum, which in the case of J pouch patients has been removed. It is therefore very common for J pouch patients to suffer from Vitamin B12 deficiency.
Unfortunately, routine blood tests to show B12 deficiency can be unreliable as described in the NHS paper on the subject: Click on the link below.
NHS Diagnosis: Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anaemia
In particular, this paper explains that
A particular drawback of testing vitamin B12 levels is that the current widely used blood test only measures the total amount of vitamin B12 in the blood
This means it measures forms of vitamin B12 that are "active" and can be used by the body, as well as the bound or "inactive" forms, which cannot be used by the body
If a significant amount of the vitamin B12 in the patient's blood is inactive, a blood test may show normal B12 levels, even though the patient cannot use much of it and might have Vitamin B12 deficiency
This is why it's important for symptoms to be taken into account when a diagnosis is made.
Signs and symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency
See also Vitamin B12 deficiency following restorative proctocolectomy
In summary, it is recommended that if a patient with a J Pouch presents with relevant symptoms, they might well benefit from B12 supplements (usually in the form of B12 injections), even if blood test results show the B12 level is within the normal range.
Pouch B12 deficiency for GPs
B12 deficiency is common amongst patients with ileo-anal pouch. However, the routine blood test to check for B12 deficiency is unreliable. This document, produced by the Pouch Nurses at St. Mark's Hospital London, explains why the blood test may be unreliable and can be shown to a GP if you feel you have the relevant symptoms.
We have also updated the Medic Alert information on our website to provide a full explanation of this B12 deficiency phenomenon. The medic alert page contains a comprehensive description of what ileo-anal pouch surgery involves and the issues and challenges faced by people living with an ileo-anal pouch. The reality is that ileo-anal pouch surgery is performed relatively rarely, and its possible that you may be the only pouch patient registered with your GP practice. It is understandable that you may know more about the procedure than your GP, and therefore you may both benefit if you share this information with him/her!
If you are a Red Lion Group member, you should have a "Can't wait / Medic alert card", which has a QR code which links to the medic alert information.
The Medic Alert online information and a downloadable copy can be found at pouchsupport.org/medic or by scanning the QR code on the card.
The Medic Alert information has been created by the Red Lion Group, with support from the Pouch nurses and Consultants at St. Mark's Hospital the UK National Bowel hospital and pioneers in the field of the ileo-anal-pouch.

New Book Helps 'Sistahs' Find the Faith
by Kam Williams March 24, 2010 January 25, 2022
"The women in this book have come a long way to meet you. Some of them write under a new name to protect their families. Others speak in their own name to save their lives…
As you read these stories, be comforted if you are afflicted. Be clothed with the robe of many colors, the garment of praise. Walk with us on a journey past hurt, past shame, past rejection.
A journey straight to the heart of God."
— Excerpt from SistahFaith: Real Stories of Pain, Truth and Triumph
It was perhaps a watershed moment for the Black community when Mo'Nique, during her tearful acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, said she was sharing her award with all the "Preciouses" and with anyone "who's ever been touched," ostensibly meaning molested as a child. "It's now time to tell, and it's OK," she assured, being an incest survivor who'd come out of the closet herself. With so many sisters still silently suffering as victims of abuse, it is hoped that the movie might inspire some to seek help.
A timely aid in this regard is SistahFaith: Real Stories of Pain, Truth and Triumph. This intimate collection of tales of individuals overcoming adversity was compiled by Marilynn Griffith, who was sexually assaulted at 13 and became a mother at 14. The book is comprised of dozens of moving memoirs recounting nightmares involving everything from incest to rape to abortion to attempted suicide.
This cautionary tome's contributors come from all walks of life, including several celebrities, such as Bunny DeBarge of the renowned Motown recording group. She talks about how she turned to drugs to repress the fact that she'd been molested by a family member for years. She blames her terribly self-destructive spiral on being stuck in denial and without a shoulder to lean on.
Although shame and humiliation seems to be a recurring theme in these women's tragic lives, fortunately, so is redemption, especially with the help of God. Considerable solace is taken in the scriptural passages referring to the biblical character Tamar (2 Samuel 13:2) who was raped by her own brother.
In sum, SistahFaith is a heartening, hopeful reminder that healing, compassion and support await those vulnerable souls ready to take the painful steps along the path to salvation and emotional, physical and spiritual recovery.

The Democratic inquisition
Democrats set out to tar and feather Bush's Cabinet nominees as racists, overlooking their own racial peccadilloes.
January 22, 2001 8:24PM (UTC)
On Dec. 14, as the holiday season shifted into full swing, five young men and women, all professionals with bright careers ahead of them, were accosted at gunpoint in an apartment in Wichita, Kan. The assailants sexually tortured and then shot their victims in the head. The sadistic criminals who perpetrated this atrocity were brothers. Only one young woman survived. In a poignant footnote to the tragedy, she had discovered, when one of the criminals stole a diamond ring from a drawer in the apartment where her companions were killed, that her now-dead boyfriend intended to propose to her that very evening. Naked and bleeding from her head wound, the young woman staggered a mile through the snow to safety.
Despite the story's horror, despite its drama, despite its "human interest" dimension, the national media didn't report the murder. The reason: the monsters who committed this horror were black, the victims white. The national media is infected with anti-white racism, and the infection is of epidemic proportions. And apparently the story didn't fit the politically correct national melodrama of black victimhood.
The same epidemic of politically correct, anti-white attitudes pervades local governments and law enforcement authorities. The official position over the killings in the editorial rooms of the Wichita Eagle and the local district attorney's office is that the Dec. 14 hate crime was not a hate crime at all. Why? Because the victims were robbed and the motive therefore was not racism, but robbery.
Matthew Shepard was robbed.
Neither the crime nor the silence surrounding it is an isolated incident. Last April, 8-year-old Kevin Shifflett's throat was slit in broad daylight in Alexandria, Va., a suburb of the nation's capital. No one reported it as a hate crime, and the crime itself was also enveloped in a news blackout -- with the exception of the Washington Times and Washington Post, which covered it as a local story. The reason? Kevin was white, his racist attacker black. But a 2-year-old hate crime, committed against a black man, did become a central feature of the Democrats' campaign against presidential candidate George W. Bush, who was found guilty of association with the incident because it took place in Texas.
Why should these facts surprise anyone, when everyone knows that it is politically correct to hate white people in America? Hatred of whites is a highly developed intellectual doctrine at our nation's most prestigious universities -- whole departments are devoted to it. Hatred of whites is taught in our nation's schools, where whites are portrayed as history's racists and oppressors, and it is inscribed in our nation's laws, which provide racial privileges for those whose skin color is anything other than white.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is waging a campaign to make sure that hate crimes are identified in the public mind with straight white males. The nation's leading so-called civil rights organization, the NAACP, ran a multimillion-dollar TV campaign during the presidential election insinuating that Bush hates black people and is in league with lynchers because he does not think extending the law to include special protections for gays (as opposed to heterosexuals) is a prudent idea. No Democrat has condemned the racial McCarthyism of the NAACP or of party extremists like Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.
The Democratic Party has whipped up racial paranoia in the African-American community by lending credibility to the lunatic charge that there was systematic disenfranchisement of black voters in Florida by racists who remain invisible. The U.S. Civil Rights Commission has even staged a show trial to prove something that didn't happen. Witness after witness claimed racial intimidation and then was forced to admit under questioning that they had actually voted. Not a shred of evidence exists that there was a conspiracy to deprive African-Americans in Florida of the right to vote. Yet the NAACP has filed lawsuits making exactly that accusation. And millions of black people have been persuaded by racial demagogues and their liberal abettors that such a conspiracy exists, that the election was "stolen" from them in order that Republicans could appoint racists to government.
The witch-hunting mentality of the Democratic Party is on full display in a notorious Internet column by Paul Begala. "Yes ... tens of millions of good people in Middle America voted Republican," the former Clinton strategist and Gore advisor writes. "But if you look closely at that [electoral] map [showing counties that voted Republican in red] you see a more complex picture. You see the state where James Byrd Jr. was lynch-dragged behind a pickup truck until his body came apart -- it's red. You see the state where Matthew Shepard was crucified on a split-rail fence for the crime of being gay -- it's red. You see the state where right-wing extremists blew up a federal office building and murdered scores of federal employees -- it's red. The state where an army private who was thought to be gay was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat, and the state where neo-Nazi skinheads murdered two African Americans because of their skin color, and the state where Bob Jones University spews its anti-Catholic bigotry: they're all red too."
One could respond to Begala in Begala fashion: The state where James Byrd was lynched was red, but the county was blue. Both the state and county where left-wing extremist, Muslim terrorists blew up the World Trade Center -- they're blue. The county where a deranged black man slit young Kevin Shifflett's throat simply because he was white and where authorities covered up the racial motivation of the crime -- it's blue. The states where Colin Ferguson and Ronald Taylor killed eight whites and Asians because left-wing race-baiters convinced them they were victims of a racial conspiracy are blue. The counties, nationwide, where the vast majority of murderers, rapists and child molesters live and operate -- those are blue, too.
But far more important is what Begala's outburst reveals about the casual way in which a mainstream political strategist can identify an entire political party -- routinely identified by Democrats, of course, as a "white party" -- as a den of racial killers.
Not since the heyday of Sen. Joe McCarthy has there been a demonization of whole categories of Americans or a national witch hunt on a scale like this. And this witch hunt is now the focus of the nomination process for the new president's Cabinet. It was Democrats who previously politicized and debased the process by which Supreme Court nominees are vetted, turning the ritual into an orgy of character assassination and attempt to make it a political auto-da-fé, and now they have done the same to the process of Cabinet nominations.
Consider the spectacle. George W. Bush has nominated the most diverse Cabinet in American history. He has appointed African-Americans to the highest positions on record. He has appointed a Chinese-American and an Arab-American to Cabinet positions for the first time. He has appointed Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans and a Japanese-American and, of course, women. Yet his nominations are the targets of a Democratic campaign to portray his nominees as racists, homophobes and even Torquemadas in one frenzied historical leap.
And, of course, this has a predictable effect on a reliably uninformed public. Look at the grief pop star Ricky Martin got for performing at Bush's Inauguration weekend opening concert? In normal times this would be a high honor. But in this poisoned atmosphere, Martin must be prepared to have his childhood friend and producer-songwriter partner tell the nation's press that his friend's singing gig is "a betrayal of everything that every Puerto Rican should stand for."
"This is a president," according to Robi Rosa, "who would have people in his Cabinet who would obstruct the exercise of civil rights, human rights, consumer rights, the right to choose, the right to be free of gun violence and the right to a clean environment."
This sounds very much like Mario Cuomo. In 1996, Cuomo told the Democratic Convention: "Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, the Republicans are the real threat. They are the real threat to our women. They are the real threat to our children. They are the real threat to clean water, clean air and the rich landscape of America."
What are the charges against Bush's attorney general nominee? John Ashcroft is accused of the crime of opposing racial preferences (an opinion he shares with 70 percent of all Americans). According to the witch hunters this puts him under suspicion of "racism." He is accused of opposing a failed program -- forced busing as a means of racial integration -- which has been rejected even in liberal Democratic cities like Los Angeles and Boston, and even among blacks. For this he is accused of "racism." Ashcroft is accused of sympathies for the Confederacy because he didn't condemn the Confederate flag and thought the Confederate cause embraced other issues besides slavery -- yet Democratic Sen. Fritz Hollings raised the Confederate flag over South Carolina's capitol and Bill Clinton signed official proclamations commemorating the Confederacy while he was governor of Arkansas without any backlash. Ashcroft is accused of opposing one black judicial nomination out of 26 such nominations because Ronnie White, the black judge in question, overturned the death penalty of a cold-blooded killer who had murdered the wife of a sheriff in front of her children at a Christmas party. For this, for all this, a man with two decades of unimpeachable public service -- is pilloried as a "racist."
In the atmosphere of hysteria, whipped up by witch hunters of the left, one news channel even billed a forthcoming program on the nominee for attorney general this way: "Bush calls him a man of integrity; critics call him frightening." Begala-ism rules.
The time has come to put to Democrats and the left the same question the hero of America's most famous witch hunt, Joseph Welch, finally put to the senator himself: Have you no decency, sirs and madams? Have you no shame?

PRESS RELEASE: 08.01.11 Social Challenges of Synthetic Biology Examined
(Garrison, NY) In the wake of last year's creation of the first self-replicating cell with a synthetic genome – which was quickly followed by a request from President Barack Obama for a report by the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues – a series of essays in the Hastings Center Report examines the social challenges that synthetic biology presents. Among the authors is the chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, who discusses its report on synthetic biology, and participants in The Hastings Center's project on ethical issues in synthetic biology. This recently completed project was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The Center has embarked on a second research project on synthetic biology, also funded by the Sloan Foundation.
"The Ethics of Synthetic Biology: Guiding Principles for Emerging Technologies." Amy Gutmann, chair of the presidential commission, explains the commission's unanimous conclusion that the federal government should adopt a strategy of "prudent vigilance" with regard to synthetic biology. The commission decided that no new regulations or oversight bodies are needed at this time, but that "responsible stewardship requires that existing federal agencies conduct an ongoing and coordinated review of the field's risks, benefits, and moral objections as it matures."
"Staying Sober about Science." Microbiologist Rob Carlson, principal of Biodesic and a participant in The Hastings Center's project, explains why he thinks the presidential commission's report is well considered. "The commission avoided the trap of proscribing from on high the future course of a technology still emerging from the muck," he writes, adding the both proponents and opponents of synthetic biology "would benefit from implementing the commission's recommendation to construct a mechanism for providing balanced, 'hype-free' analysis of advances in the science and technology."
"Of Microbes and Men." Gregory E. Kaebnick, editor of the Hastings Center Report and a principal investigator in the synthetic biology project, examines the moral concern about the human alteration of nature. Although that concern is legitimate, Kaebnick finds that some instances of altering nature are to be tolerated, and that altering microbes to make medicine or fuel – as synthetic biologists aim to do – might be among them. Kaebnick is also editor of the new book, The Ideal of Nature.
"The Intrinsic Scientific Value of Reprogramming Life." Mark A. Bedau, a professor of philosophy and humanities at Reed College and a participant in the synthetic biology project, contrasts the idea that synthetic biology might be intrinsically dangerous with the prospect that it might have intrinsic value. By this he means that reprogramming cells may reveal insights into the nature of life, which "remains one of the deepest fundamental mysteries about our world."
"Interests, Identifies, and Synthetic Biology." Thomas H. Murray, president of The Hastings Center and a principal investigator in its synthetic biology project, envisions how the most important policy disputes over synthetic biology will be framed as the technology progresses. They may be battles over interests – such as the risks of biosafety versus the benefits of scientific progress – in which case tradeoffs are possible. But they may be debates over identity – about the proper place of humans in the cosmos and the proper relationship of humans to the world around them. In debates over identity, compromises are elusive and people with different viewpoints are unintelligible to one another. "My concern," Murray concludes, "is that this last feature, mutual unintelligibility, may have already appeared."

Mother 4 Fan Game Rebranded, Now Releasing as Oddity
This game looks like nothing short of pixelated perfection!
01.04.20 - 10:09 PM
written by Corey Hall
Mother 4, a passion project put together by dedicated fans of the long-dormant Mother series, has been officially rebranded and will be released under a new title — Oddity! Set in the seventies, this surreal urban fantasy RPG follows 13-year-old protagonist Travis Fields as he leaves home to save the world with just a pellet gun and his trusty baseball bat. You can delight in the gorgeous sprites, sleek battle system, and fantastic soundtrack in the newly released teaser trailer, seen below.
Players can also look forward to adventuring with a cast of charming and memorable characters who will assist Travis on his journey to topple the mysterious "Modern Men" society. With Meryl, a chipper girl with serious PSY power, Floyd, a witty school kid who doesn't need PSY abilities to handle a fight, and Leo, the dangerous leader of a motorcycle gang, Oddity will have no shortage of heart, humor, and adventurous spirit.
Oddity will launch for PC, Mac, and Linux "when it's ready," as you saw in the teaser trailer.

What is Unfair Prejudice?
Date: 03/10/2019 | Corporate & Commercial, Business & Professional Services
It is surprising how many clients ask about unfair prejudice: either as minority shareholders who feel that their interests have been damaged; or as directors or majority shareholders worried that they might face a claim.
When relations sour it's a phrase that often gets bandied around with no-one being very certain what it actually means.
Boardroom and shareholder disputes are a fact of business life: partners fall out, directors misbehave, and people take advantage. Usually things can be sorted out between the parties involved but sometimes good legal advice is required so that each party understands their rights and their bargaining position.
When it comes to disputes, directors and majority shareholders have the clout to arrange matters to suit themselves, but minority shareholders have little to protect them. Contractually, minority shareholders, even if they are directors have only the company's articles of association and shareholder agreements to rely on if they find their interests are under attack, and these may not be particularly helpful. In many cases no shareholders agreement has been signed at all, there is just an "understanding" between the parties and over time that often turns into a "misunderstanding".
This is where Section 994 of the Companies Act 2006 comes in. It provides minority shareholders with a remedy in situations where, for example, their shareholding is deliberately devalued, or they are excluded from the management of the business when they had an expectation that they would be involved.
Section 994 of the Companies Act 2006
Section 994 allows shareholders (members) to go to court to complain:
"that the company's affairs are being or have been conducted in a manner that is unfairly prejudicial to the interests of members generally or of some part of its members (including at least himself), or
that an actual or proposed act or omission of the company (including an act or omission on its behalf) is or would be so prejudicial."
The court action must take the form of a petition, and the court has a very wide discretion in considering the claim.
This is the million dollar question – and in fact there is no definitive answer.
Examples of actions that have been found to be unfairly prejudicial include:
breaches of the articles of association;
excluding the shareholder from the management of the company, despite earlier agreements to the contrary;
where the value of the shareholding has been deliberately devalued;
excessive awards of director's pay;
serious mismanagement of the company.
In bringing an action minority shareholders need to bear in mind that:
to be successful, they must show that the actions of the company were both unfair and prejudicial – proving one is not enough;
the unfairness test is an objective one – would a reasonable bystander think that the actions in question were unfair?
a good starting point is any contract between the shareholder and company (for example, the articles of association and shareholder agreement).
What happens if the claim is successful?
If the court agrees that the minority shareholder has been treated in an unfairly prejudicial manner, it has a number of remedies available to it. Amongst others it can pass an order regulating the Company's future affairs, require the Company to do or not do something or force the Company to make or not make specified alterations to its articles. These are all set out in Section 996 of the Act, but the most common one remedy used is that of ordering the purchase of the minority shareholding at a fair price either by the majority shareholder or the Company.
Points to note
The issues here are complex and difficult, every story has two sides and determining whether conduct is unfairly prejudicial is not straightforward. Expert advice is essential and such actions are time consuming, stressful and expensive.
Of course there is a better option. Rather than end up fighting a costly unfair prejudice claim or even worse having to deal with a just and equitable winding up petition shareholders would be well advised to put in place proper articles of association and a shareholders agreement at the start of their business dealings before any dispute has occurred. That way when things go wrong there is a clear way forward already in place. That is both cheaper and significantly less stressful than the alternative!

Mohamed Salah Quietly On Pace For Another 40 Goal Season
Between COVID, injuries, VAR, and other distractions, it's easy to overlook what Salah is doing for Liverpool. We absolutely shouldn't be.
By Zachary Marx@80couches Dec 19, 2020, 10:37am GMT
Share All sharing options for: Mohamed Salah Quietly On Pace For Another 40 Goal Season
Photo by Peter Byrne - Pool/Getty Images
We've been a negative bunch, haven't we? Yeah, the world kind of sucks right now. And while this 20/21 vintage of Liverpool isn't as good as the last two or three, we're still sitting top of the league and in the Champions League Round of 16. This is despite an injury list that's longer than War and Peace and seemingly every Premier League ref out to get us.
But there's one very bright spot among all this: Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian King. He's not quite back to his high watermark of 2017/18, but he's not too far off it either.
In 2017/18, Salah averaged a goal in the league and Champions League every 91.7 minutes. He racked up 44 goals in all competitions, second only to Ian Rush's 47 in 1983/84 as Liverpool's greatest single-season scoring record. Along the way, he set an new Premier League record and nearly fired the Reds to their 6th Champions League win (thankfully we wouldn't have a long wait to right that wrong).
Over the past two seasons, Salah's goal totals have gone from eye-wateringly incredible and nearly superhuman to merely world class. He averaged a goal in the league and Champions league every 160 minutes in 18/19, and every 157.4 minutes in 19/20, netting 23 and 27 times in all comps, respectively. Oh, and a second Premier League golden boot along the way.
This year? He's banging them in every 104.9 minutes in the league and Champions League. As I said, it's not quite back to his absolute best, but it is a significant up-tick in goals from his past two campaigns.
On Wednesday, he scored his 11th league goal of the season, and 14th overall, in his 20th appearance in all comps. In 2017, he reached his 11th league goal in his 14th outing. This year? He did it in 13 league games. And, yet again, he finds himself at the top of the Premier League goal scoring chart.
Since joining the Reds, he played 52 matches in both 17/18 and 18/19, and 48 matches last year—which would have undoubtedly been more, had Liverpool gone through against Atletico Madrid.
Over 3 full campaigns, he's averaged 3,931 league and Champions League minutes. At his current rate of scoring, that would give him 37-38 goals in those two competitions. Add in the FA Cup—if he plays in it—we could easily see another 40+ goal season from Mo.
But what if Salah plays more minutes, as he did in 18/19? That year, he could be seen running down the wing for 4,320 minutes in the league and Champions League. If Mo plays a similar number of minutes to that season, we could expect another 27-28 at his current pace. Or, 41-42, plus whatever he bags in the FA Cup.
Some detractors might point to Mo's high number of penalty goals in all of this. That's not a completely unfair point. But then again, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been inflating their numbers from the spot for years. And like those other players, if Mo once again reaches 40-plus goals, or thereabouts, he should be strongly considered for the Ballon d'Or.
Liverpool fans have become absolutely spoiled what Salah does on a weekly—or lately bi-weekly—basis. He does not get nearly the respect he deserves, not just from the global football punditry class, but from his own supporters. Instead of being amazed by Salah returning to his goal-scoring best, we just chalk it up to "Mo doing what Mo does."
So, next time Mo bangs one in (hint: probably the next time he's on the pitch), take a moment to appreciate what you're seeing: one of the world's best footballers giving it all for Liverpool.

Reginald Torian (Lead Singer of The Impressions)
When I met Reginald Torian, Sr., I was in a difficult place. I had grown up idolizing and internalizing the music of the Four Tops, and had entered my sixth year of working with them, starting as their archivist and eventually touring full time as their drummer and musical director. However, the sparkle-eyed blind love of the music had started to be replaced with a wariness of the future. How would I make a living in my post-Four Tops career? Could I continue solely making music full time, professionally, for a living? As the Tops' organization had changed around me, and my favorite band had started me upon a path that seemed both difficult to surpass and difficult to maintain, I had the realization that I had to return to school. It was this realization, this succumbing to the realities of a future that may include a life outside of music, a full time job, and a less creative path that caused me to write the song "Please (Don't Give Up On Your Dreams)." I decided that it was best for me to step away from touring with my favorite band to finish my college degree and create a launching pad to allow for a long and sustainable career in avenues that included more than performance. Even if, at the time, there seemed like nothing in the world that meant more than performing with my favorite group.
This song speaks of a "closet rocker, a weekend star, an office drone who works too hard," whose "song is fading" as time passes by. It speaks of a songwriter with a "storied life, and an empty page from nine to five." It urges those with a creative drive to continue to fan the flame, and not allow themselves to lose that spark. While I was writing the song, I was listening to an endless stream of music by Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions. Curtis' message of encouragement, enlightenment, equality, and honesty struck a chord with me, and helped me feel comfortable making what was sure to be a life-altering decision. Naturally, I began looking into The Impressions' present day career, and realized that they were still going strong with Reginald Torian as their velvet-voiced lead singer. I couldn't hear any other voice that was more fit to deliver the song's message.
I got bold. Finding Reggie online, I sent him a message having never once met him. Reggie was a star. Touring the world with a legendary group, carrying on the legacy of Mayfield, recording hits that stretched all the way back to the early 70s, and still carrying on strong. He had no reason to give a fledgeling sideman and songwriter like me the time of day. However, he did respond, and I was quick to send him a demo of the song. His reaction:
"I don't often get to say this after listening one time but you my friend may have a smash on your hands. This is one I would like to record. If you have a practice track ..please send also. I will guard it with integrity."
Not only did he guard the early version of the song with integrity, but he picked up my story and ran with it, delivering an impassioned recording that sounded as though it came straight from his own heart. He enthusiastically put his all behind the single, with 50% of profits benefiting the Chicago Public Schools' music programs. He sang the song at events, showcases, radio stations, stages, and studios. He championed the message and the cause, and at times seemed to believe more in the project than even I could. Reggie and I went on to record another single together, to perform together in his "All Things Mayfield" premier show, and to spend hours in the studio refining a recording of that live event intended for broadcast. Reggie was a perfectionist - for himself and for his team. He could see the strengths and faults of everyone around him. He was wonderful at bringing the best out of his team, of calling on you for just the right job at just the right time, and making you feel like you were the only one in the world who could do it perfectly. Just being around him made you feel like you could conquer the world.
Reggie saw me leave the Four Tops. He saw me struggle to finish college in New York City. He saw me leave New York to return to Detroit and pursue my love for Motown music. He saw me fight lean times and hustle for gigs, jobs, and opportunities. Each time I spoke to him about my own situation, he would drop the Mayfield-ism "keep on pushing," or tell me to "follow the yellow brick road." To put my head down and keep working, keep pushing towards my goals no matter what. He said that as I pushed, more doors would open in my wake. As he gave me this advice, he saw me slowly move from a former-sideman of a legendary group to a drummer, songwriter and producer for these legends, and a college instructor at the Detroit Institute of Music Education. His advice proved invaluable, and his confidence and unshaking motivation helped me see first hand the value of staying the path. Reggie stayed the path from beginning to end, and he was always willing to lift while he climbed. I will forever be indebted to him for lifting me to another stage in my life, and I will forever miss hearing his voice telling me to "Keep On Pushing," and to never give up on my dreams.
Rest in Peace Reggie, and an endless thanks to you.

3D Printing Fossils: Researcher Prints and Shares Fossils from Jurassic Epoch
by Fabian | December 9, 2020 | Featured Designs
by Fabian | December 9, 2020
Dr. Roger Close is a quantitative paleobiologist. His greatest interest lies in studying 'macroevolutionary' patterns in fossil records, documenting broad-scale evolutionary changes in groups such as birds, mammals, and fishes. Plus, he also knows a thing or two about 3D printing.
With some colleagues, Roger published a paper reporting the discovery of a 170-million-year-old fossilized mammal jaw belonging to a mouse-sized species called Palaeoxonodon ooliticus. The team found this jaw in Middle Jurassic rocks on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Palaeoxonodon is an important species for understanding the evolution of molar teeth in modern mammals. With the help of Roger's 3D printing and 3D scanning knowledge, the team of researchers made a major discovery. The three species previously described on the basis of individual fossilized teeth actually might belong to just one species.
The team of Oxford researchers at a geologic site on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
The researchers search for fossils of all sizes – some are just a few millimeters in diameter.
"As recently as 15 years ago, it would have been standard practice to expend a considerable amount of time and effort manually removing the fossil from the hard limestone rock. However, we were able to use an X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner at the Natural History Museum in London to obtain an amazingly detailed three-dimensional image of the specimen, so all the preparation could be done digitally," says Roger.
The fossil: only millimeters in size and enclosed by solid rock.
This computed tomography (CT) scanner created a 3D model of the fossil.

Once Roger had made a 3D surface file from the scan—a remarkably quick process, as he told us—he was able to order a 3D print from i.materialise. He had previously helped colleagues to process scans of other tiny fossil mammals from the Cretaceous period in Victoria, Australia, that were subsequently used to produce detailed 3D prints via i.materialise: "I already knew how amazingly detailed the models could be. However, this was the first time I had used 3D printing for my own research."
The 3D printed fossil – scaled up to 20 times its original size.
Now, why would a researcher from the University of Oxford need such a 3D print? Well, there seem to be several reasons. Firstly, a 3D file and 3D print have certain advantages that the original fossil doesn't have. For example, it can be scaled up and better observed: "The fact that the model could so easily be scaled up to 20 times its original size made it all the more fun. I found that being able to scrutinize a 3D print was genuinely helpful while describing the anatomy of the fossil for publication, as it highlights features that might not be immediately apparent on a computer-screen rendering."
Secondly, a 3D file can be shared. This means that researchers, educators, and hobbyists from all over the world can download, edit, rescale, and 3D print the jaw as well. Roger uploaded his 3D files to DataDryad.org, a database that makes the data underlying scientific publications discoverable, freely reusable, and citable. Other research institutes and organizations follow this example. The Smithsonian Institute launched the Smithsonian X 3D project, which lets users download 3D captures of historic and scientific objects, such as the 3D model of a woolly mammoth that we 3D printed for the Making A Difference / A Difference in Making exhibition in 2015.

Thirdly, a 3D print comes along with a certain coolness factor: "The best thing about having a 3D print of the fossil was that I could show the specimen off to colleagues and friends—virtually everyone who saw it was amazed, particularly when they heard that the model had only cost a tenner!"
Roger decided to go with our Polyamide material for this print and expressed his interest in trying out High-Detail resin prints in the future: "I thought that the Polyamide material was very detailed and represented excellent value for money, though next time I might try one of the more detailed Resins."
We wish Roger the best of luck with his upcoming projects and can't wait to print some more fossils!

PQ > Media about pq
"The publication of this special edition (…) enables a remarkable focus to be brought to a dynamic concept of scenography, no longer viewed in a supporting role to the main production, but as an autonomous dimension of creative imagination. An approach that is even more stimulating since scenography is no longer today only associated with theatre or visual arts, but has spread widely across the public arena, and whose "stage production" (via communication and marketing) too often takes us for mere passive spectators. The twelth edition of the Prague Quadrennial, at the crossroads between intimacy and spectacle, signals perhaps the start of a new era."

It works almost like a World Cup. Happens each four years. Meet delegations from more than 40 countries in the dispute for the champion place. The difference here is the target of the competition, that pass far away from the field and fall over the theatre. This is the Prague Quadrennial, the most important international exhibition of scenography, costumes and technology to the scenic arts.
Maria Eugênia de Menezes, O Estado de S. Paulo, Brazil, 06.07.2010
The exhibition is one of the most important vents of its kind in the world. A similar event, World Stage Design, was begun several years ago in Toronto, but it cannot compete with the Praque Quadrennial.
Jana Machalická, Lidové Noviny, 20.4.2011
Just a quick glance at the programme reveals that the PQ offers a truly diverse range of exhibits that stands a good change of attracting the interest of the general public.

SOL Belize hosts U-13 and U-15 Football Marathon
Sports	— 31 July 2015
BELIZE CITY, Tues. July 28, 2015–SOL Belize sponsored football Marathons in two categories – U-13 and U-15 on Saturday, July 25, at the MCC Grounds. Six (6) U-13 teams and four (4) U-15 teams participated in the Marathon, which followed a simple knockout format. Most of the participating teams involved players and coaches from the recently completed Smart 13 & Under football tournament, and past players of these teams who were now over the 13-year age limit. The tournaments were also coordinated by the same staff of the Smart 13 & Under, led by Stanley "Jordan" Reneau and Tyrone "T-Bone" Muschamp.
Brown Bombers was victorious in both the U-13 and U-15 categories. Second place in the U-13 was taken by Charlston FC, while Collet Strikers claimed the second place trophy in the U-15.
After the final game, SOL Belize representative, Rufino Lin, himself a past football star from the 1990 championship San Joaquin team, handed out individual medals to first and second place teams, as well as team trophies and individual trophies for the U-13 MVP, Eldon "Tuncy" Byrd, and U-15 MVP, Sherwin Requena.
The tournament will help in the selection process for a Belize District U-15 team to participate in the FFB National U-15 tournament.

Sources: MTSU To Hire UNC Asheville's McDevitt
Posted: 10:11 AM, Mar 24, 2018
By: Steve Layman

UNC Asheville coach Nick McDevitt has reached a deal to become the new head coach at Middle Tennessee, sources tell Newschannel 5 Sports.

Middle Tennessee has reached a deal to hire UNC Asheville head coach Nick McDevitt to the same position, sources tell Newschannel 5. An official announcement expected today.
McDevitt, 38, went 98-65 in five seasons as the head coach of the Bulldogs, winning two Big South regular season and one conference tournament title. UNC Asheville reached the NCAA Tournament in 2015-16.
He was the 2017 Big South Coach of the Year after leading UNCA to a 23-10 record and a share of the league's regular season title. The Bulldogs went 21-13 this season and won the regular season title outright before losing in the conference tournament.
McDevitt played guard for UNC Asheville from 1997-2001 and served as an assistant coach at his alma mater immediately upon graduation until he was named associate head coach in 2011.
He replaces Kermit Davis at Middle Tennessee. Davis was hired by Ole Miss last week after 16 successful seasons at MTSU that included eight conference championships and three trips to the NCAA Tournament.

Statement on the DACA decision
To the Mason community,
Today, the Trump administration announced that it will no longer accept applications under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and that it will phase out previously approved ones over the next six months. I am greatly disappointed with this decision that will have dramatic implications for thousands of college students, including many at Mason, and will ultimately have a negative impact on our society and economy.
Since it was established in 2012, DACA has provided 800,000 young adults who arrived in this country as minors—and who, today, are students in good standing and veterans who have been honorably discharged from the military and have no criminal record—temporary reprieve from deportation and permission to legally work, study and contribute to our communities.
DACA has become a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of people who, through no decision of their own, ended up in the United States and know this as their only home. It offers these young adults an opportunity to learn, work and contribute to the United States, rather than flee, hide or face deportation to some country most barely know. It provides hope rather than despair. And it continues a proud American tradition of opportunity.
DACA also makes economic sense. Talented young people who can contribute to American society and help fuel economic development through their effort and intellect should not be cast aside. They should be embraced.
We estimate a few hundred DACA students, or Dreamers as they appropriately like to call themselves, attend Mason. Many of these students represent the best in Mason. They are some of our most accomplished, dedicated and promising young men and women. They are growing personally and professionally and making significant contributions to our community.
Without DACA, many Dreamers will not be able to go to college or they may not be able to afford it. In Virginia, Dreamers may no longer qualify for in-state tuition. Around the country, Dreamers were already barred from receiving federal financial aid—whether grants or loans.
We have and always will act consistently with our laws and regulations. But we will also continue to advocate on behalf of our students and provide whatever assistance we can to help them succeed.
In the coming days, we will seek clarity at the state and federal level about the timing of the announced changes and let students know how these changes affect them, particularly as they relate to in-state tuition.
Congress has an opportunity to take legislative action to protect Dreamers. A bipartisan bill known as the BRIDGE Act, introduced by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and supported by members of both chambers of Congress, would embrace the principles of DACA and allow our students to remain in the United States to study and work. I will join other leaders in business and higher education, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the American Council of Education, and other national organizations in advocating for the passage of the BRIDGE Act or whatever other legislative initiatives can provide at least a temporary solution for the affected young adults.
We will continue to collaborate with private organizations like The Dream US that provide scholarships for Dreamers to attend college and will try to identify additional private sources that can help them stay in school and achieve their academic goals.
We remain committed to the wellbeing of these students and will do whatever is within our powers to ensure their safety and academic success while at Mason.

Volunteer Travels with National Rugby Team
July 19, 2011 /0 Comments/in Ghana, Partnerships & Supporters /by UTS GB
This July saw the West African rugby championship take place in Bamoko, Mali – and the Ghanaian National team was in full force along with guest coach, United Through Sport volunteer, Chris Morgan. Chris was invited to join the team in Mali by the team's permanent coach, following some impressive coaching during training sessions with the national team in 2010.
Not only did Chris help coach the team to a respectable 4th place standing in the tournament, he also provided kit which was donated from the UK.
Chris, who is currently a student at Loughborough University, first visited Ghana last year but was unable to participate in the 2010 tournament, then being held in Niger. But on learning that Ghana qualified for the 2011 championship Chris leapt at the invitation to join them in Mali.
Despite problems with fitness Chris was pleased with the performance of the team against undoubtedly more experienced rivals. Chris said "It has been a great experience for me, it's not everyday you get to coach a national team in any sport, and it has been a real eye opener into the workings of a national team!"
Other participating countries were Benin, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Togo and host country Mali.
Please contact us if you would like to know more about our rugby project in Accra, Ghana.
