Every year the Social Security Administration (SSA) reveals the list of top ten baby names and since 1960 the #1 boy name has either been Michael or Jacob. But not this year!
The new #1 boy baby name in America is... NOAH!
For the third year in a row SOPHIA is the #1 girl baby name, but if you're like my wife and I and decided to switch up the spelling, replacing the PH with an F -- good news, SOFIA is climbing the list dramatically, winding up just outside the top 10 this year, at #13!
Madison, a former top fiver and my older daughter's name, remains inside the top 10. My son's name is Brennan and he's never been close to the top 10, sitting just inside the top 250 at its best -- that was in 2009.
The SSA has a really cool search tool so you can check out the popularity of names and the years they were most popular.
P.S. Drew Taylor, I took the liberty of looking up the name Henry -- great news, it's the most popular it has been in the past 13 years!


SAN ANTONIO - The legal battle against Texas' school-funding system is heating up. On Tuesday, a coalition of parents and non-wealthy school districts filed suit in a Travis County district court, claiming state education aid is inadequate and unfairly distributed.
Previous lawsuits have challenged the constitutionality of a school-financing system which critics say amounts to a statewide property tax. The new suit calls attention to what attorneys describe as arbitrary funding mechanisms which don't provide for poor students and those learning English.
David Hinojosa, Southwest regional counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, is the lead attorney for the districts.
"Those students are the ones who are struggling most. And so, if we're successful on this claim, all those districts educating low-income and English-language learners would benefit."
Hinojosa says there's an alarming achievement gap in Texas schools - and a funding gap that got substantially worse this year when lawmakers slashed education aid by $5.4 billion.
"How can you hold all the students to the same standards, expect them to meet those standards, but then fund their education so grossly disparately? It's just not only unfair, it's unjust and unconstitutional."
State officials have not commented on any of the lawsuits. Previous court decisions have upheld a constitutional mandate that children from rich and poor districts should have equal access to education funds.
"If you live in this ZIP code, your children are worth more - but if you live in this other ZIP code, your children are worth less. And so, while we don't want to take away from the wealthy districts, we do want to see the system leveled up."
Lawmakers, he says, may have further contributed to the crisis by requiring that all students be "college-ready" and instituting tougher state exams - providing more legal ammunition for those who argue that school funding is inadequate.
For decades, Hinojosa says, the Texas Legislature has been incapable of addressing the state's school-finance system with anything more than what he calls "band-aid solutions." He thinks it will take court intervention to force lawmakers to take politically difficult action, such as finding new revenues - and that's the only way, he believes, that funding can be both fair and adequate.

Already visited Paris, Rome, Berlin, Madrid and the other great cities of Europe? Looking for a truly unusual tourist spot? Then how about the silver mines of Potosi in Bolivia, billed as 'the best adventure in the Cerro Ricco,' where you can don helmets, gloves and overalls and descend into the dark, stiflingly hot, and polluted mines to watch real Bolivian miners at work?
CAN'T DO IT IN EUROPE portrays this new phenomenon of 'reality tourism,' whereby bored American or European travelers seek out real-life experiences as exciting tourist 'adventures.' The film follows a group of such international tourists as they visit the mines in Potosi-the poorest city in the poorest nation in Latin America-where Bolivian miners work by hand, just as they did centuries ago, to extract silver from the earth.
In addition to interviews with the tourists, tour guide, and an elderly retired miner, CAN'T DO IT IN EUROPE features a discussion by the city's Director of Development, who boasts of the city's growing tourist trade-presently 50,000 tourists per year-and explains why, in order to preserve the authentic 'experience' for tourists, they don't want to change or improve working conditions for the miners.
After the visit to the mines is concluded with a bang, literally, by the chance to explode a stick of dynamite, several of the tourists comment on the value of such Third World tourism. Apart from the fact that you CAN'T DO IT IN EUROPE, as one explains, you can also better appreciate your own life after you've seen people worse off than yourself.

Ravi welcoming incoming students at Convocation 2019.
From The President Issue 6
By Ravi S. Rajan, President
Dear CalArtians,
Of all the truths that arts education can lay bare, one is always clear: great artists come from everywhere. Gifts of generative brilliance simmer in equal measure across communities, cultures, demographics, and countries. When we emancipate those gifts—and fulfill our fundamental mission as a community of artists—we unleash potential from every quarter.
That's why it was so crucial to involve the whole spectrum of our community—faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees, and artists outside CalArts—when we crafted a collective vision for our future.
Now, as we move into a fresh year, these ideas will begin to shape tangible changes. Among them, we're starting a system of shared governance that gives a robust voice to minority opinions and stands apart in higher education.
The new CalArts Assembly is the beating heart of this shift: a body that will move forward issues from the faculty, staff, and students and ensures that questions can come from every member of our community.
Hearing directly from the forward-thinking community at CalArts has encouraged other changes:
• Last spring, students made clear their concern about how the rising cost of a CalArts education could prevent students from returning the following semester. Motivated by this, we redeployed financial aid for continuing students who demonstrated financial hardship. We were able to accommodate each and every student who showed an inability to return to school because of increased tuition. The result: the highest year-to-year student retention in recent memory.
• We started to rework the entire financial aid process. We'll be doing more to offer guidance and transparency to students: Our goal is to announce the amount of assistance available for need, the amount available for merit, and to explain the procedures for allocating both.
• In response to student requests we have added physicians on campus for the first time—we have more nurses and more access to preventive health and counseling services. Through partnerships with a local hospital, we were able to achieve this without additional cost to students or the Institute. We also centralized, renovated, and expanded campus health facilities.
• In another first, we're pooling information from all the databases at CalArts to enable a central reporting tool. The upshot: we will be able to put all our institutional data to work tracking our progress in making CalArts stronger and deepening a culture of radical transparency—we want information to be available to all.
This is just a start. This year we will finalize the mission, values, and framework portions of our Strategic Visioning Project and publish it transparently for all. In addition, based upon community feedback, our priorities this year include technology, facilities planning, communications, and advancement. Several new leaders in these areas joined CalArts as we began the academic year, including Abigail Severance, Interim Dean of Film/Video; Veronica Alvarez, Director of the CalArts Community Arts Partnership; Nikhil Pillai, Director of Legal Affairs; Bailey Cool, Director of The Patty Disney Center for Life & Work; Lisa Seals, Director of Financial Aid; and Eric Greeny and Meredith Robbins, Vice Presidents for Development and Advancement.
As CalArts welcomes them, we bid farewell to a giant in our midst: David Rosenboom, who has served as The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts dean since 1990 and oversaw CalArts as acting president in 2011. David will leave behind a rich and inspiring model of progress when he retires from his role as dean at the end of the academic year.
David is the very epitome of the CalArts spirit, having fostered a host of new specializations, CalArts's first doctoral program, and academic exchange offerings. These additions have opened doors of opportunity for countless students who've gone on to illuminate the world through their artistic practices. Across three decades, David made their success the core of his life's work. Please join me in wishing him a meaningful, well-earned creative leave before we welcome him back to the music faculty in the fall of 2020.

The aim of the presented study is to investigate whether different "next to skin" worn functional textiles have an influence on specific physiological parameters and on subjective comfort evaluations. Only short sleeved shirts made of different materials and different cuts (designs) are compared. The investigation is done on cycling activities, focused on leisure and not on competition activities. To answer the questions mentioned above two experimental tests are performed: a field trial with 20 sport students and a controlled climatic chamber test with 12 male subjects. In the field trail two different shirts are compared (polyamide bike shirt vs.
every five minutes during the test. Furthermore a questionnaire similar to that of the field trial is handed out afterwards. The results of the field trial show only low significant influences in favour of the windproof shirt concerning the subjective parameters. Furthermore there are additional positive but not significant tendencies supporting although the windproof shirt. For the objective parameters no significant influences can be detected. However data shows here an advantage of the polyamide shirt compared to the windproof shirt that means a discrepancy to the subjective findings. The results of the experiment in the climatic chamber show significant differences concerning the wear comfort in such a way, that the functional cotton shirt is constantly rated worser (with one exception) than the other tested materials. In the remaining subjective data predominantly the polyamide tricot gets the best assessments while the cotton shirt is evaluated worst again.


A half up half down hairstyle is for the real princesses. This is one of very beautiful braided hairstyles for long hair that can also be embellished. To obtain this style, you should start with a comb out any and all tangles.

Dictionary of Czech post-1945 literature
The dictionary of Czech post-1945 literature forms the basis of a cyclically updated electronic database which is able to provide up-to-date and professionally processed information to both experts and the general public. Those dictionaries published by the Institute for Czech Literature which reflected post-war Czech literature and which were no longer affected by pre-November ideological limitations served as both a starting point and basis for the database. Further, noteworthy authors who had published their debuts between 1989 and 2000 and who were not included in the earlier book edition were added. The dictionary also works with embedded (irregular) entries which provide additional information above and beyond that provided in the entries (for instance, entries on certain exile additions come with additional bibliographic lists, etc.).

This page is about the Line family, being my nan's.
If you have come across it by accident or even on purpose, the usual rules apply.
There are two PDFs. The first is an outline from OOM Line – One or Many – who is placeholder to enable me to try to understand the roots of the family.
The second is a very large pdf which includes everything apart from anything to do with living people. That makes sense. The first few pages are the people, the rest are the sources hopefully at readable size.
When Nan died, going through her stuff we came across three photos. No idea if they are related (there was also one of Clark Gable). You will see one is in the RNAS uniform, before that was merged into the RAF.
I think I have ID'd two of the three. Ancestry have the Naval records online now and I'm pretty sure this is nan's elder brother Frank (1900 – 1977)!


PHOENIX (AP) — Anticipating years of drought, officials built the Yuma Desalting Plant in 1992 to treat agricultural runoff and conserve water in Lake Mead. Over the past 26 years, however, the plant has operated just three times while costing millions of dollars to maintain.
And it may need millions more, even to operate at a small fraction of capacity.
"The plant takes salty water from the agricultural drainage system, separates the salt . and generates clean water that it delivers to the Colorado River to Mexico," explained Chuck Cullom, the Central Arizona Project Colorado River Programs manager.
The Yuma Desalting Plant is a joint project between the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the CAP and other water partners. It was intended to protect Arizona and other states that rely on water deliveries from Lake Mead, even during droughts, and to replenish the Colorado River.
The plant cost $250 million in 1992, running briefly that year until a flood damaged some of the pipes. It currently is in standby status until Congress funds its operation. Meanwhile, it runs at 1/100 capacity while staff researches ways to improve efficiency.
The plant could save about 90,000 acre-feet of water every year at full capacity, but Norris said it likely will operate at one-third capacity if funding comes through.
Getting the Yuma Desalting Plant to full capacity would cost more than $55 million, according to a CAP report.
Although the desalinated water from the plant goes into the Colorado River, the brine that's filtered out is pumped to the Cienega de Santa Clara, huge wetlands in northern Mexico.
Cullom said tests show the cienega (Spanish for "desert marsh") would survive continuous operation of the plant, but plant repair estimates do not include the costs of environmental regulations and compliance.
The plant benefits the Colorado River and Lake Mead, said Jennifer Pitt of the National Audubon Society, one of the world's oldest conservation societies. But the briny waste might endanger the cienega, she said.
"You're effectively continuing to send all the salt (to the cienega) but sending less fresh water," Pitt said. "There could be considerable negative impact to that wetlands, because the plants that grow there can only tolerate so much salt.
Despite the potential risks and benefits, Cullom said, the Bureau of Reclamation has never received sufficient money from Congress to run the Yuma plant.
"Every year the plant doesn't operate, it contributes to a loss in Lake Mead. . If the plant had been operating since 2005, Lake Mead would be 15 feet higher than it is today," he said.
CAP helped operate the plant in 2005 to demonstrate it still worked. A more recent test ran the plant at one-third capacity between 2010 and 2011. CAP and other water partners called it the "pilot run" — 18 years after the Yuma Desalting Plant's construction.
"We viewed the 2010-2011 pilot operation as demonstrating that the plant can be successfully operated at a reasonable cost," Cullom said.
A CAP report recommends fixing five plant "deficiencies" along with other repairs and replacements, necessary to run the plant even at one-third capacity. Repairs include replacing 80 percent of the plant's high-pressure pipes, testing thousands of membranes that filter out the salt and fixing a railway that delivers sensitive supplies.
Norris, of the Bureau of Reclamation, is optimistic the Yuma Desalting Plant will receive funding and operate efficiently without damaging the environment.

The origins of the Bushale name lie with England's ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It comes from when the family lived in Yorkshire, in the parish of Bossall. While the surname is largely considered local, there are other possible origins of this name. It may be of patronymic origin, based on the first name of the father and would have derived as "the son of Bussell."

Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Bushale were recorded, including Bushell, Bussel, Bushle, Bushel, Bussell, Buchell, Buchel, Boushell, Boushel, Bousel and many more.

To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Bushale family emigrate to North America: Henry Bushel settled in Virginia in 1622; Joseph Bushel settled in Pennsylvania in 1683 with his wife Sarah and two daughters; Edward Bushel settled in Barbados in 1678.

Johannes Rau (* 16. Januar 1931 in Wuppertal; † 27. Januar 2006 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Politiker (SPD) und von 1999 bis 2004 der achte Bundespräsident der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Rau war von 1969 bis 1970 Oberbürgermeister der Stadt Wuppertal und anschließend Wissenschaftsminister in Nordrhein-Westfalen. Von 1977 bis 1998 war er Landesvorsitzender der SPD und von 1978 bis 1998 der sechste Ministerpräsident des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, womit er beide Ämter länger als bisher jeder andere innehatte. Bei der Bundestagswahl 1987 war er Kanzlerkandidat der SPD. Im Jahre 1993 führte er nach dem Rücktritt von Björn Engholm kommissarisch den Vorsitz der SPD-Bundespartei.

Leben

Jugend und Beruf
Johannes Rau wurde am 16. Januar 1931 als drittes Kind der Eheleute Ewald Rau, Kaufmann und Blaukreuzprediger (* 1. April 1898; † 15. Dezember 1953), und Helene Rau, geb. Hartmann (* 27. März 1901; † 1. August 1988), geboren.

Nach dem Besuch der Volksschule Schützenstraße in Wuppertal-Barmen trat er 1942 in das Wilhelm-Dörpfeld-Gymnasium in Wuppertal-Elberfeld ein, das Ende Juni 1943 bei dem Luftangriff auf Elberfeld zerstört wurde. Nach dem Kriegsende 1945 und dem Abschluss des 4. Schuljahres besuchte er laut dem Zeitzeugen Hans Georg Heldmann, für "ein oder zwei Jahre" das mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Gymnasium – welches nunmehr seit 1951 den Namen Carl-Duisberg-Gymnasium trägt. Später besuchte Rau das Humanistische Gymnasium in Barmen, das heutige Ganztagsgymnasium Johannes Rau. Nachdem er zum Verdruss seines Vaters dem Unterricht mehrfach ferngeblieben war, musste er auf dessen Drängen im September 1948 die Schule nach der Obertertia abbrechen. Am 5. Oktober 1948 begann er eine Lehre als Verlagsbuchhändler beim Wuppertaler Verlagshaus Emil Müller. Nebenher war er ab 1949 freier Mitarbeiter der Westdeutschen Rundschau in Wuppertal.

Nach beendeter Lehre arbeitete er ab Juni 1952 als Verlagsgehilfe in Wuppertal und wurde 1953 Lektor bei einem kleineren Verlag in Witten. Ab 1954 arbeitete er als Geschäftsführer des Jugenddienst-Verlages; 1962 wurde er Mitglied des Vorstandes und 1965 Direktor dieses Verlages.

Familie und private Entwicklung
Johannes Rau hatte zwei ältere Geschwister, Leni (* 1926) und Traugut Rau (* 1929), sowie zwei jüngere, Christel Rau (* 1932) und Hartmunt Rau (* 1934).

Raus Vater, Ewald Rau, betrieb bis 1925 ein Textilwarengeschäft und widmete sich wegen seiner Erlebnisse aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg und der Weimarer Republik dem Pietismus zu, einer Reformbewegung des Protestantismus. Dies wurde die Grundlage für seine dann bis Kriegsende hauptberufliche Tätigkeit als Prediger und Vereinssekretär beim Blauen Kreuz. Ewald Rau verstarb allerdings 1953 im Alter von 55 Jahren vergleichsweise früh durch einen Unfall. Thorsten Kozik schrieb hierzu: "Er verstarb am 15. Dezember 1953 unglücklich, weil er aus einer defekten Tür, in einer Kurve, eines Busses der Wuppertaler Stadtwerke fiel und dann an den Verletzungen starb. Ewald Rau war eine prägende Gestalt für seine Kinder, belesen und herzensgut'. Er zeigte seien Kindern, was ein Akt tätiger Nächstenliebe ist'. Z.B. brachte Ewald Rau gelegentlich Obdachlose mit nach Hause und versorgte sie, ebenso waren Waisenkinder häufiger zu Gast im Hause Rau. Sein Vater sowie das christliche Umfeld, in das er durch seinen Vater geraten war, prägten Johannes Rau sehr stark. Daher war Raus erstes Berufsziel das Pfarramt."

Rau heiratete am 9. August 1982 Christina Delius (* 1956), eine Enkelin des früheren Bundespräsidenten Gustav Heinemann und Nichte der Theologin Uta Ranke-Heinemann. Aus der Ehe gingen drei Kinder hervor, Anna Christina (* 19. Dezember 1983), Philip Immanuel (* 28. Januar 1985) und Laura Helene (* 10. November 1986). Die standesamtliche Trauung fand in London statt, die kirchliche hingegen am 22. August 1982 in der Neuen Evangelischen Inselkirche zu Spiekeroog. Auf der Nordseeinsel wurden auch die Kinder getauft. Spiekeroog war jahrzehntelang das Urlaubsziel der Familie Rau, die dort ein Ferienhaus besaß. Im Sommer 2000 wurde Rau hier Ehrenbürger.

Rau kam sein Leben lang mit drei Wohnsitzen aus: Er wuchs in Wuppertal zwischen Barmer Nordpark und Klingelholl in der Wohnung seiner Eltern auf und blieb dort bis Ende der siebziger Jahre. Während der Zeit als Ministerpräsident bewohnte er ein Eigenheim im Briller Viertel im Stadtteil Elberfeld. Erst mit dem Amtsantritt als Bundespräsident zog er nach Berlin um. Das Schloss Bellevue stand wegen Umbaumaßnahmen nicht zur Verfügung. So wurde auf die 1911–1912 erbaute "Dienstwohnung des Bundestagspräsidenten" (Miquelstraße 66–68 in Dahlem) ausgewichen, die dieser selbst nicht nutzte.

Seine Art, den evangelisch-christlichen Glauben öffentlich zu leben, trug Rau die Bezeichnung "Bruder Johannes" ein, aber auch eine satirische Wertung als "gefürchteter Kirchentagsschwätzer". Sein Lebensmotto "Teneo, quia teneor" ("Ich halte, weil ich gehalten werde.") entlehnte er der Bekennenden Kirche, in der er in der Jugend selbst aktiv war.

Seit 1995 wusste Rau von seinem gefährlichen Aneurysma in der Bauchschlagader, lehnte aber aus Rücksicht auf seine Ämter und die bevorstehende Wahl zum Bundespräsidenten eine Operation immer ab, bis er sich am 23. Juli 2000 in der Universitätsklinik Essen operieren ließ. Am 18. August 2004 musste er sich einer schweren Herzoperation unterziehen, bei der ihm eine künstliche Herzklappe eingesetzt wurde. Nur zwei Monate später (19. Oktober 2004) wurde ihm ein Bluterguss im Bauchraum in der Universitätsklinik Essen operativ entfernt.

Die letzten öffentlichen Auftritte von Johannes Rau waren die Preisverleihung des deutsch-türkischen Freundschaftspreises in Solingen (29. Mai 2005) und die Einweihung der Frauenkirche in Dresden (30. Oktober 2005). An einem Empfang des Bundespräsidenten zu seinem 75. Geburtstag am 16. Januar 2006 im Schloss Bellevue in Berlin konnte er aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr teilnehmen.

Johannes Rau verstarb am 27. Januar 2006 gegen 8:30 Uhr in Berlin im Kreise seiner Familie. Die Beisetzung erfolgte am 7. Februar im Anschluss eines Trauerstaatsaktes auf dem Dorotheenstädtischen Friedhof zu Berlin im engsten Familien- und Freundeskreis.

Politische Karriere

Gesamtdeutsche Volkspartei
Nachdem 1950 der erste Bundesinnenminister Gustav Heinemann aus Protest gegen die geplante Wiederbewaffnung von seinem Amt zurückgetreten und zwei Jahre später auch aus der von ihm mitgegründeten CDU ausgetreten war, gründete er die Gesamtdeutsche Volkspartei (GVP), in der Rau Mitglied und sogleich deren Kreisvorsitzender in Wuppertal wurde. Bereits 1957 löste sich die GVP wieder auf und Rau wurde zusammen mit Heinemann und anderen Mitglied der SPD.

Kriegsdienstverweigerer und SPD-Parlamentarier
Von 1958 bis 1962 war Rau Vorsitzender der Jungsozialisten in Wuppertal. In diese Zeit fällt auch seine Mitgliedschaft in der Gruppe der Wehrdienstgegner (GdW), aus der 1958 der Verband der Kriegsdienstverweigerer hervorging. Mit dem damaligen GdW-Vorsitzenden Werner Böwing konkurrierte er 1958 um den Juso-Vorsitz in Wuppertal und gewann. Im gleichen Jahr wurde er erstmals in den Landtag Nordrhein-Westfalen gewählt, dem er bis 1999 angehörte. 1962 wurde er Mitglied im Vorstand der SPD-Fraktion und 1967 deren Vorsitzender. Von 1964 bis 1978 gehörte er außerdem dem Stadtrat von Wuppertal an.

Ab 1973 war er Mitglied des Landesvorstandes in Nordrhein-Westfalen, von 1977 bis 1998 auch deren Vorsitzender.

Stellvertretender SPD-Bundesvorsitzender
1968 wurde Rau in den Bundesvorstand der SPD gewählt und war ab 1978 Mitglied des Präsidiums der SPD.
Johannes Rau war ab 1982 unter den Parteichefs Willy Brandt, Hans-Jochen Vogel, Björn Engholm, Rudolf Scharping, Oskar Lafontaine und Gerhard Schröder stellvertretender SPD-Bundesvorsitzender.
Nach dem Rücktritt von Björn Engholm übernahm Johannes Rau von 5. Mai bis zur Wahl von Rudolf Scharping am 23. Juni 1993 kommissarisch den SPD-Bundesvorsitz.

Oberbürgermeister in Wuppertal
Von 1969 bis 1970 war Johannes Rau ehrenamtlicher Oberbürgermeister in seiner Geburtsstadt Wuppertal.

Minister in Nordrhein-Westfalen

1970 berief Ministerpräsident Heinz Kühn Rau ins Kabinett und übertrug ihm das Ressort Wissenschaft und Forschung.

Während Raus Amtszeit als Wissenschaftsminister in NRW von 1970 bis 1978 wurden 1972 in Nordrhein-Westfalen fünf Gesamthochschulen in Duisburg, Essen, Paderborn, Siegen und Wuppertal gegründet, die später in Universitäten umbenannt wurden. Rau, der als Vater der hochschulpolitischen Regionalisierung in Nordrhein-Westfalen gilt, gründete außerdem 1974 die Fernuniversität in Hagen als erste Staatliche Fernhochschule und wandelte die früheren Ingenieurschulen in Fachhochschulen um. Für überregionales Aufsehen sorgte 1972 die fristlose  Entlassung von Joseph Beuys als Professor der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, nachdem dieser mehrfach gegen die Regularien für die Aufnahme neuer Studierender verstoßen und die Akademie mit 80 Studierenden besetzt hatte.

Ministerpräsident von Nordrhein-Westfalen

1977 wurde Rau zum Vorsitzenden der NRW-SPD gewählt. Er gewann die Kampfabstimmung gegen Friedhelm Farthmann, was gleichzeitig eine Vorentscheidung für das Amt des Ministerpräsidenten war.

1978 wurde Rau Nachfolger von Heinz Kühn als Ministerpräsident. Unter seiner Führung konnte die SPD bei den Landtagswahlen 1980, 1985 und 1990 die absolute Mehrheit der Mandate erreichen beziehungsweise verteidigen. Dabei scheiterten mit den CDU-Herausforderern Kurt Biedenkopf 1980, Bernhard Worms 1985, Norbert Blüm 1990 und Helmut Linssen 1995 bekannte Vertreter der NRW-CDU, die in den gänzlich auf Raus Person zugeschnittenen Wahlkämpfen der SPD unterlegen waren. 1985 erzielte die SPD in NRW unter Rau mit 52,1 % das beste Ergebnis ihrer Geschichte, was auch auf die Kampagne "Wir in Nordrhein-Westfalen" zurückgeht. 1995 verlor die SPD mit 46 % der Stimmen die absolute Mehrheit und bildete eine Koalition mit Bündnis 90/Die Grünen. Während seiner Amtszeit übte er 1980 kurzzeitig und 1990 bis 1995 auch das Amt des Ministers für Bundesangelegenheiten aus. Vom 1. November 1982 bis zum 31. Oktober 1983 und vom 1. November 1994 bis zum 31. Oktober 1995 hatte Rau turnusmäßig das Amt des Bundesratspräsidenten inne.

Kanzlerkandidat
Bei der Bundestagswahl 1987 war er Kanzlerkandidat der SPD, unterlag aber dem amtierenden Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl. Die SPD erreichte 37 Prozent der Stimmen und verlor somit 1,2 Prozentpunkte gegenüber 1983.

Rücktritt als Ministerpräsident
Im Mai 1998 trat er als Ministerpräsident von Nordrhein-Westfalen und im selben Jahr auch als Landesvorsitzender der SPD NRW zurück. Sein Nachfolger im Parteiamt wurde am 24. Mai Franz Müntefering, der frühere Landesarbeitsminister und seinerzeitige Bundesgeschäftsführer der SPD. Zum Ministerpräsidenten wurde am 27. Mai 1998 Wolfgang Clement gewählt (→ Kabinett Clement I), der bis zu seiner Wahl Wirtschaftsminister im Kabinett Rau V war.

Bundespräsident

1994 nominierte die SPD Johannes Rau erstmals als ihren Kandidaten für das Amt des Bundespräsidenten. Er unterlag aber im dritten Wahlgang dem Kandidaten der CDU Roman Herzog.

Seit der Bundestagswahl 1998 hatte Rot-Grün eine Mehrheit im Bundestag und Rau wurde bereits im November 1998 erneut von der SPD als Kandidat für das Amt des Bundespräsidenten nominiert. Am 23. Mai 1999 wählte ihn die Bundesversammlung im zweiten Wahlgang zum Bundespräsidenten. Die CDU hatte die spätere thüringische Wissenschaftsministerin Dagmar Schipanski nominiert; die PDS die parteilose Theologin Uta Ranke-Heinemann, eine Tante von Raus Ehefrau. Am 1. Juli 1999 wurde Rau im Rahmen der letzten Bundestagssitzung in Bonn als Bundespräsident vereidigt.

Die von seinem Amtsvorgänger Roman Herzog 1997 begonnene Reihe der Berliner Reden setzte Rau fort. Anders als unter Herzog hielt er die im jährlichen Turnus stattfindenden Reden alle selbst und begründete damit eine neue Tradition. In seiner 2000 gehaltenen ersten Rede "Ohne Angst und ohne Träumereien: Gemeinsam in Deutschland leben" benannte er die mit der Zuwanderung nach Deutschland verbundenen Aufgaben. 2001 lautete seine Rede "Wird alles gut? Für einen Fortschritt nach menschlichem Maß". Er sprach darin die durch den Fortschritt, beispielsweise in der Fortpflanzungsmedizin, aufgeworfenen grundsätzlichen Fragen an. In der 2002 gehaltenen Rede "Chance, nicht Schicksal – die Globalisierung politisch gestalten" sprach Johannes Rau darüber, wie sehr das Leben der Menschen durch internationale Entwicklungen beeinflusst wird und welche Chancen und Probleme das mit sich bringt. "Gemeinsam handeln – Deutschlands Verantwortung in der Welt" war der Titel der Berliner Rede im Jahr 2003. Rau sprach darin an, dass seit dem Mauerfall 1989 und der darauffolgenden Deutschen Wiedervereinigung 1990 eine Vielzahl an internationalen Aufgaben auf Deutschland hinzukamen und mitgestaltet werden mussten. Seine letzte Berliner Rede hielt Johannes Rau im Mai 2004 zum Thema "Vertrauen in Deutschland – eine Ermutigung". Darin forderte er in für ihn ungewöhnlich direkter Weise Politiker und Unternehmer in Deutschland zu mehr Ehrlichkeit und Verantwortungsbewusstsein auf.

Insgesamt unternahm Rau 76 Auslandsreisen als Staatsoberhaupt. Bei seinem Staatsbesuch in Israel im Jahr 2000 war er der erste deutsche Politiker, der in dieser Eigenschaft vor der Knesset stand. Seine dort am 16. Februar gehaltene Rede war die erste, die auf Deutsch gehalten wurde. Er bat dort um Vergebung für die Verbrechen des Holocaust.

2001 sprach Johannes Rau anlässlich der Gedenkstunde zum Tag des Gedenkens an die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus vor dem Deutschen Bundestag.

Johannes Rau gab am 22. Juni 2002 eine in ihrer Schärfe ungewöhnliche Erklärung anlässlich des Parteienspektakels um das Zuwanderungsgesetz ab, in der er das von den Parteien veranstaltete Gezerre um die Bundesratsabstimmung zum genannten Gesetz als unwürdig bezeichnete. Die rechtliche Beurteilung der uneinheitlichen Stimmenabgabe des Landes Brandenburg, die durch den damaligen Bundesratspräsidenten Klaus Wowereit als Zustimmung gewertet wurde, war in der verfassungsrechtlichen Literatur umstritten. Rau fertigte das Gesetz trotzdem aus, um eine Überprüfung des Gesetzes durch das Bundesverfassungsgericht mittels einer Abstrakten Normenkontrolle zu ermöglichen.

Nach Raus Amtsverständnis sei der Bundespräsident nur dann berechtigt, die Ausfertigung eines Gesetzes zu verweigern, wenn es "offenkundig und unstrittig" grundgesetzwidrig zustande gekommen sei. Da ein solcher Fall bis dato in der Praxis noch nicht vorgekommen war, lag noch keine vergleichbare Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts vor, so dass nur verschiedene Rechtskommentare vorlagen, die zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen kamen. Die verfassungsrechtliche Beurteilung eines Gesetzes, über deren korrektes Zustandekommen es verschiedene rechtliche Meinungen gibt, obliege jedoch nicht dem Amt des Bundespräsidenten, sondern der Kompetenz des Bundesverfassungsgerichts. In dieser Ansicht berief sich Rau unter anderem auf vergleichbare Entscheidungen seiner Vorgänger Carstens und Herzog.

Das Bundesverfassungsgericht erklärte das Zuwanderungsgesetz mit Urteil vom 18. Dezember 2002 für nichtig, weil der Bundesrat nicht zugestimmt habe: die uneinheitliche Stimmabgabe des Landes Brandenburg durfte nicht als Zustimmung gewertet werden.

Am 4. September 2003 gab Rau bekannt, bei der nächsten Wahl am 23. Mai 2004 nicht mehr für das Amt des Bundespräsidenten zu kandidieren.

Am 23. März 2004 brach Rau seine Afrika-Reise vor dem geplanten Truppenbesuch bei deutschen Marinesoldaten in Dschibuti ab. Laut Geheimdienstberichten sollte ein Mordanschlag auf einen hochrangigen europäischen Repräsentanten, möglicherweise auf Rau, verübt werden. Am 23. April 2004 kehrte er vom letzten Staatsbesuch seiner Amtszeit aus Polen zurück.

Am 29. Juni 2004 wurde er mit einem Großen Zapfenstreich von der Bundeswehr verabschiedet. Seine Amtszeit endete mit dem 30. Juni 2004.

Bewertung seiner Politik
Unterstützer lobten Johannes Rau als moralische Instanz, die stets auf gesellschaftlichen Ausgleich bedacht war, eines seiner bekanntesten Zitate lautete "Versöhnen statt spalten". Auch religiöse Motive spielten in seinem Wirken eine Rolle, etwa hinsichtlich seines Einsatzes für soziale Gerechtigkeit.

Kritiker halten Johannes Rau vor, das Bundesland Nordrhein-Westfalen sei unter seiner fast 20-jährigen Regierungsführung im innerdeutschen Vergleich wirtschaftlich, technologisch und sozial stark zurückgefallen. Rau habe zu lange an alten Industrien, insbesondere am defizitären Kohlebergbau, festgehalten und neue Techniken zu wenig gefördert. Diesen Kritikern wird häufig entgegengehalten, der Strukturwandel in der Stahlindustrie und im Bergbau habe auf das Land überproportionale Auswirkungen gehabt und die Politik Raus habe dazu beigetragen, eine Massenverelendung infolge des Strukturwandels zu verhindern.

Politische Affären

Der Spiegel berichtete im Februar 2000, dass während Raus Amtszeit als Ministerpräsident die Westdeutsche Landesbank (WestLB) zu einer geheimen Nebenkasse des Landes gemacht worden sei, wobei Reisen für Regierung und Reisen für den Wahlkampf nicht sauber getrennt und Regierungsarbeit aus Quellen finanziert worden seien, die das Parlament nicht kannte und nicht kontrollieren konnte. Neben dem im Spiegel-Bericht genannten Protagonisten Johannes Rau stand auch dessen Nachfolger Wolfgang Clement in der Kritik.

In der Düsseldorfer Flugaffäre zahlte die WestLB führenden Politikern von SPD – darunter Rau  – und CDU deren private Flugkosten und setzte die überhöhten Rechnungen zudem von der Steuer ab. Die WestLB übernahm auch die Kosten in Höhe von 150.000 DM für ein Fest, das Johannes Rau anlässlich seines 65. Geburtstages am 18. Januar 1996 mit 1.500 Gästen feierte.

Als Kanzlerkandidat ließ Rau sich im Wahlkampf 1986/87 von der DDR-Regierung unterstützen. Im Jahr 1986 waren an die 100.000 Tamilen, Libanesen, Iraner, Inder, Ghanaer und andere Ausländer als Asylsuchende in die Bundesrepublik eingereist, überwiegend über den DDR-Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld. Diese Zuwanderung wurde als Belastung empfunden und war ein Wahlkampfthema. Die DDR-Führung machte SPD-Präsidiumsmitglied Egon Bahr bei dessen Besuch 1986 öffentlich das Zugeständnis, die Einreise der Flüchtlinge in die Bundesrepublik künftig zu unterbinden. Im Gegenzug versprach Rau, in seinem Regierungsprogramm als erster Bundeskanzler die volle Respektierung der DDR-Staatsbürgerschaft zu verkünden.

Sonstiges Engagement

Er hatte die Ehrenpatenschaft von seinem Amtsvorgänger Roman Herzog übernommen. Er war zudem Schirmherr der Deutschen Stiftung Denkmalschutz sowie der Festspiele Balver Höhle. Johannes Rau engagierte sich für die Stiftung Museum Schloss Moyland, deren Vorsitzender des Kuratoriums er bis 1998 war. 2000 übernahm er auch die Schirmherrschaft der Bürgerinitiative Gesicht zeigen!, die in Deutschland gegen Ausländerhass und sogenannte No-Go-Areas kämpft.

Von 1965 bis 1999 gehörte Johannes Rau der Landessynode der Evangelischen Kirche im Rheinland an und war stellvertretendes Mitglied der Kirchenleitung der Evangelischen Kirche im Rheinland; dem Deutschen Evangelischen Kirchentag war Rau eng verbunden; von 1966 bis 1974 war er Mitglied des Präsidiums und nahm auch danach regelmäßig am Kirchentag in offizieller Funktion und als Privatmann teil.

Gedenken und Auszeichnungen

Bundespräsident Horst Köhler ordnete zum Gedenken an den Alt-Bundespräsidenten Rau für den 7. Februar 2006, elf Tage nach dessen Tod, einen Staatsakt nach dem Gottesdienst im Berliner Dom an.

Die Deutsche Post gab am 2. März 2006 eine Sondermarke anlässlich des Todes von Johannes Rau heraus.

Vor der ehemaligen Staatskanzlei, der Villa Horion in Düsseldorf, in der Rau als Ministerpräsident residierte, wurde im Mai 2008 eine Bronzestatue aufgestellt. Mit der Gestaltung dieser Schwenkung beauftragte Raus Witwe die britische Bildhauerin Ann Weers-Lacey. Der umgebende Platz wurde von der Stadt Düsseldorf als Johannes-Rau-Platz gewidmet. 2016 gab es in der Stadt Überlegungen, den Flughafen Düsseldorf nach dem Vorbild anderer deutscher Flughäfen Johannes Rau zu widmen.

Johannes Rau gründete 2000 die Johannes-Rau-Stiftung, die vor allem Wuppertaler Projekte fördert. Von der Familie sitzen nach seinem Tod im Vorstand Christina und Anna Rau.

Zum fünften Todestag wurde von der SPD die Johannes-Rau-Gesellschaft gegründet, die jährlich ein Forschungsstipendium von 15.000 Euro zu einem Thema von gesellschaftlicher Bedeutung vergibt. Die Stiftungsmittel von etwa 30.000 Euro werden von den SPD-eigenen Unternehmungen aufgebracht. Auch hier sitzt Christina Rau mit im Vorstand.

Mehrere Schulen tragen seinen Namen, darunter zwei in Wuppertal. In Düsseldorf ist der Platz vor der ehemaligen Staatskanzlei (Villa Horion) und in Wuppertal der Rathausvorplatz nach Rau benannt sowie ein weiterer Platz in Eschweiler.

Im April 2014 wurde die Johannes-Rau-Forschungsgemeinschaft von 13 wissenschaftlichen Instituten und dem Land NRW, vertreten durch das Wissenschaftsministerium, gegründet.

2018 wurde in Köln-Deutz der Johannes-Rau-Platz nach ihm benannt.

The Museum of Art & Design at Miami Dade College presents Untitled (3 for 8) an exhibition of the art of Robert Thiele from September 4 to November 8.
Thiele arrived in Miami in 1966, after a stint as a Dallas Cowboy, becoming an art instructor at Miami Dade College, where he taught alongside painter Robert Huff, painter Salvatore La Rosa and the late sculptor Duane Hanson. His work is both intimate and imposing, mixing expressions of sculpture and painting with the use of concrete, plexiglass and stone.

Hype, TV lights surround Mathis-Odem matchup

Early season examinations are important for any football team. Coaches want to evaluate their personnel in preparation for district competition, as well as sending their charges against the best competition as they can schedule.
Mathis' Rod Blount and Odem's A.J. Martinez have accomplished those objectives.
The Class 3A undefeated clash Friday night between the Pirates and Owls is as good a matchup as one might conjure in Week 2 of the season. It is such an intriguing matchup, on paper at least, that Fox Sports Southwest decided in mid-July to make the contest its 'DQ Big Game of the Week,' and will feature it on its highlights show at midnight Saturday.
However, receiving that statewide attention is a double-edged sword for the schools some 20 miles apart.
It is a reward. The Pirates reached the Class 3A Division I semifinals a year ago in Blount's second season, their third consecutive playoff appearance. The Owls posted their second-best season on record (12-1) and reached the Region IV Division II semifinals in their fifth consecutive playoff appearance.
It also could be a distraction, with the FSSW cameras, behind-the-scenes looks and the extended pep rallies amping the hype of the game between area rivals.
'It's an honor to be able to get a game like this. I guess they've gone off of what we've done in past seasons,' said Martinez, in his sixth season with the Owls. 'It hypes the game up a lot. Obviously, coaches don't like all the attention. But I'm a real firm believer in the high school experience and this is a great one for our kids. So it is a big game.'
'We just try to tell them to keep a level head like we always do, not get too high or not get too low,' Blount said. ''Just go out there and play.' We're trying to do it in practice and we want them to practice like they'll come out and play Friday night so the TV camera in the locker room and all that stuff won't get to you.'
The Pirates are ranked third in the THSCA regional Division I poll, while the Owls are fifth in the Division II regional coaches' rankings.
How well the coaches have their players focused will go a long way in determining what team begins its season 2-0.
'Hopefully we're doing a good enough job. We've had different coaches talking to them every day,' said Blount, whose Pirates got a taste of the limelight at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in last year's semifinal loss to Cameron Yoe in Austin. 'So hopefully we've addressed it enough. I think the kids know kind of what's coming. I don't think you can ever prepare for it totally but hopefully we got them where they won't be star-struck.'
Said Martinez: 'I think me and my coaching staff do a real good job of deflating our kids ahead when they start getting too confident. We can only do so much as coaches. It's tough to draw away from a kid getting to experience maybe being on TV or an extra pep rally or an added event on a Thursday evening. ... I guess we just try to stay humble as much as we can and try to teach the kid to do the same thing.'
Both teams have enough on their plates to concern themselves too much with the hype. Reloading Mathis must find a way to put the defensive clamps on Odem quarterback Michael Everett — he threw for 351 yards and five touchdowns last week — a talented corps of receivers and the Owls' up-tempo attack a week after facing a ground-oriented Falfurrias team.
Conversely, the Owls handled Taft's Spread a week ago but now have to contend with Mathis' Slot-T keyed by backs Karl Gibson II, Brandon Salinas and Bobby Herrera.
'We need to be careful not to look further ahead. I know Mathis lost quite a bit,' Martinez said. 'I know coach Blount's doing a good job of getting his young guys ready. They're in that early season mode just like we are, trying to get our young ones to play like our older ones did last year.
'So I think it's going to be a good test for us,' Martinez said. 'With all the hype, to me that adds to the game and adds to us learning how to deal with that kind of pressure and emotion and all that other stuff.'
For Blount, the Pirates need improvement on both sides of the ball.
'We've still got to make a lot of improvements on offense. But yeah, the defense has got to contain Everett because if we don't stay on our man he's going to find that open receiver and hit him every time,' Blount said. 'If we don't get a good rush and contain he's going to take off running.'

Dirk van der Heijden needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
At Gemzies (http://www.gemzies.com), we need a 'visual thinker', who can create a few appealing visuals, that clarify 'who we are and what we do' in 2 seconds to our visitors.
Gemzies.com is a web 2.0 platform, on which experts can create 'their' dedicated communities, dedicated to specific topics, from Al Gore to ZZ Top. Gemzies provides tools to easily create 'your' page, including online video, photos, books and the latest news.
Experts can use this platform to get exposure (pageviews), and show their expertise to the rest of the world.
The 'what we do, and what's in it for you' is NOT clearly communicated on our homepage. We need your support to design few appealing visuals (including short text), that clearly explain our concept to our visitors.
We kindly ask you to browse around our site, to get an impression of the benefits it has to contributors and visitors.
This should get you started thinking on how to 'summarize' Gemzies in (a) clear visual(s), for use on our homepage.
- We need a few appealing, clear and simple visuals, that express the 'what' of Gemzies in 2 seconds to our visitors.
- Think e.g. of the '1-2-3 step approach' used by other websites, to explain to visitors what they can 'do' on a site.
- Your visuals need to 'match' the current design of the homepage, and subpages of Gemzies (colours, etc.) You do NOT need to 'overhaul' the homepage design.

Dawson and Vince Hard Done by ECB not ICC!
Posted on May 23, 2019 May 23, 2019 Categories Cricket, ODI Cricket, T20 Cricket
Following on from my latest audiocast where I touched upon the subject of Liam Dawson and James Vince being unable to represent Hampshire in the One-Day Cup final, I feel that it's necessary to look into things a bit further.
It's a huge shame that these two players, both of whom are likely to more often than not be sub-fielding and carrying drinks for England (But you never know what can happen?!) can't play in the domestic season's marquee showpiece. It is of course only appropriate in the interest of fairness that they can't. It would be unfair for them to be getting match practice, keeping their eye in, staying in form and gaining confidence when the players of the other World Cup participants can't do so. You do have to question the ECB's structuring of the English county season though as it is they who should've seen this coming and prevented it from happening. The One-Day Cup was played in an exclusive block up to a couple of weeks ago so why on Earth did we then return to First Class cricket for a couple of weeks before the One-Day final randomly slots in to the fixture list?
It's a shame for the players in question and a kick in the teeth for devoted fans of a county game that in most people's eyes is seriously struggling as a spectator sport. Remember that Vince is Hampshire's captain and Dawson has been their star player this year.
Regarding Dawson, there are rumours that he's been courted by Warwickshire but also that he may have hinted to Hampshire that he only wants a white-ball contract in the future. I'm disappointed to hear that but realistically he's probably struggling to play Test cricket again. He's been mightily effective in the PSL for a couple of years and if he can get IPL and CPL gigs as well as playing One-Day and Twenty20 cricket in England then there's just about enough cricket to occupy him in the summer. This is before we consider the PSL, BPL and Big Bash etc in the winter time, not to mention the Hong Kong Blitz, Global T20 Canada and whatever pops up next! The riches of these gigs are far greater than the county game and a lot less gruelling so the appeal is understandable but it's also confirmation that the standard of the four-day game in England in particular will continue to decline. If the best players desert it when still in their twenties, we could be left with only young players pre peak and old players post peak to fill the teams.
As for Vince, his appearances in an England shirt this summer have been exactly what everyone expected of him. Pretty but unsubstantial. Not out of his depth but not excelling. How will bench warming for England help him press his case for a top three Test vacancy come the Ashes?
Hopefully Dawson and Vince will get some game time at the World Cup. I'm a big fan of involving the whole squad when it comes to major tournaments but whether or not the structure of the 2019 competition and England's results will allow it only time will tell.

Maybe they did it on purpose. The One Day Cup will be hit hard from next year. They may as well start taking people off the game earlier. If anything this World Cup shows that there is hunger for One Day Cricket. If they would have put the money they spent on "creating" The Hundred and coming up with idiotic city names into marketing the current competitions, reducing the ticket prices or discount things so that it can be televised on free to air TV then it will make a big difference.

Yes, there's a vibe they planned it to an extent. Pretty poor!
