Information Has Been Requested on the Departure of a Physician Assistant.
Posted today at 8:58am by Joe McCormick
Local resident Gail Baker has sent a letter to Northern Health Region CEO Helga Bryant regarding the departure of Physician Assistant Jan Drutz from the Flin Flon Clinic. She says we have a shortage of doctors as everybody knows, waiting times are long and Jan was willing to do walk-in clinics as well as have his own clinics and he saw probably more patients than a lot of the doctors do. Baker invited Bryant to an information meeting planned within the next few weeks to discuss a way to rescind the decision and petitions have been placed around town to be presented to Premier Pallister.
In response yesterday the Health Region stated as of January 24th Mr. Drutz is no longer licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba and therefore cannot be employed by the Northern Health Region as a physician assistant. Regulated health professionals such as a Doctor, Physician Assistant or Nurse must have a license in good standing in order to practices their profession in Manitoba. They add having said that licensing issues are matters between the regulated health professional and his or her licensing body, in most cases their College. They conclude once Jan Drutz resolves his registration/licensing issues with the College of Physicians and Surgeons he will be employable.
Fund Raising Continues to Support a New Aqua Centre.
At their meeting Sunday night the Aqua Centre Community Committee reported they have just over 300 thousand dollars in their fund raising account so far.

In Spite of the Cold a Snowmobile Fundraiser was a Success.
The Lions Journey for Sight is a snowmobile ride that left Flin Flon last Wednesday finishing in Brandon Saturday. It's held to raise money for the Lions Eye Bank of Manitoba and Northwest Ontario. Committee Chair Brad Henderson says the Journey went well. He says it was rather cold the first couple of days and as they got further south towards Brandon it did warm up a little bit. He adds there were no serious breakdowns and they ended up with roughly 20 sleds they pretty well stated with in Flin Flon.
Henderson says so far around 34 thousand dollars has been turned in with money still to come from pledges made to the riders. When all the money came in last year the Journey had raised 77 thousand dollars for the Lions Eye Bank.

Our Regional Issues Will Again be Raised in the Next Sitting of Parliament.
Posted yesterday at 9:20am by Joe McCormick & Blake Priddle
Member of Parliament Niki Ashton is travelling our constituency in preparation for the next session of Parliament set to open next Monday. She says it's a chance for her to connect with communities about issues in the region. She explains going back at the end of January she will be picking up on health care which is obviously a critical issue, it is provincial but it also is federal. She says in order to build a better future in our north we need to be working with communities, with First Nations that are already pursuing a number of initiatives, we need to be supporting education and training in the north and we need to be making sure that good jobs stay in our north and that's something where the federal government has a role to play.
Ashton urges people in the constituency to contact her office to discuss issues in our region that need to be addressed.

This is Alzheimers Awareness Month.
Posted Friday morning by Joe McCormick & Navi Bal
The CEO of the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba Wendy Schettler says Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia. She says it's a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills that can severely impact the way a person can live their life. She explains the focus of this year's awareness campaign is to address the stigma surrounding the disease by sharing people's stories as every experience is different. She says what they really want is for people to think about what are their preconceived notions about dementia and would like to challenge people to think more broadly. She adds often times we think about our worst case scenarios around dementia and we think that this could be the worst thing that could happen to anybody and as a result it impacts how we treat people and how we look at people because we think everything is just so tragic when in fact people can live very well for a long time with dementia.
Schettler goes on to ask people to think about what dementia means to them and how they can support people with the disease to live well and be part of the community.
At Least Ten Drills Will Be Hard At Work Near Snow Lake.
Rockcliff Metals Corporation has announced its ongoing fully funded 100 thousand meter drill program which began last year near Snow Lake is again underway. Approximately 70 thousand meters is expected to be drilled throughout this year with a minimum of ten drills either at property sites now or in transition to various properties.
Rockcliff President and CEO Alistair Ross says the 2020 drill program's primary focus will be to continue growing the confidence in their deposits at Rail and Tower properties and on progress with the joint venture talks with Hudbay on Talbot. In addition he says this year they will take the opportunity to begin some preliminary exploration on some promising projects at Bur, Copperman, Freebeth and Pen where known historical deposits and copper bearing zones exist. He notes of importance is the fact all properties to be drill tested are within trucking distance of their leased mill and tailings facility.
Fun Programs are Part of Learning at McIsaac School.
Posted Thursday morning by Dallas Clark
This past Tuesday night the Flin Flon School Board met for the first regular meeting of the new year. Ecole McIsaac School Principal Miranda Bowman along with Vice-Principals Jodi and Pawlachuk and Sylvie Dufour were on hand with a presentation on the school's goals and happenings for the year. The ladies each took turns outlining the variety of programs such as numeracy, literacy, reading apprenticeship, truth and reconciliation, engagement and all the extras that are available for the students.

The Board thanked Ms. Simpson for her presentation saying they would be discussing the topic at a later date.
The Liberal government Needs to Act on Child Poverty.
Posted Thursday morning by Joe McCormick
Churchill Keewatinook Aski Member of Parliament Niki Ashton says Campaign 2000's most recent report reveals the Liberal government's refusal to act on measures like pharmacare and a national childcare program has left over one million children still living in poverty across the country.
Ashton states successive Liberal and Conservative governments have ignored northern, Inuit, First Nation and Metis communities who are now living with the results as two-thirds of kids in our riding are living in poverty and this cannot go on.
She adds until we have leaders willing to do things differently, we'll continue to see the same results and it's our kids who will pay for it.
Ashton says New Democrats welcome Campaign 2000's recommendations to address these inequalities and lift children and families out of poverty once and for all. Among the recommended policy and program changes Campaign 2000 calls for increasing the Canada Child Benefit, implementing Pharmacare, establishing a National Childcare Program, and expanding employment insurance to help those who really need it.

The Budget Consultation Should Have Been About More Than Money.
Manitoba Finance Minister Scott Fielding was in Flin Flon for a budget consultation yesterday.

Since of parliamentary sovereignty should not be seen
Posted on May 7, 2019 May 2, 2019 by admin
the New Labour government came into power through election in 1997, the UK
constitution has experienced an era of reform1.
The pace of change has been drastic among other things, individual rights have
been made directly actionable in domestic courts2;
the composition of the House of Lords has been reformed (albeit partially)3
and new institutions have been created to exercise legislative and executive
powers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland4.
Furthermore, in replacing the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords a UK
Supreme Court has been established alongside reform to judicial leadership and
appointments5.
Notably, all these factors have all contributed to the construction of a wider
constitutional role for the judiciary in light of the Constitutional Reform Act
and the landmark case of Jackson6,
thus, launching the notion of judges in the UK becoming more prominent in their
roles as constitutional 'actors'. Consequently, many are left wondering whether
the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty which had always been one of UK's
constitutional pillars is now ripe for reconsideration. This essay aims to
argue that albeit these changing circumstances, the fundamental principle of
parliamentary sovereignty should not be seen to be disposed, instead, our
understanding of the position and the challenges ostensibly imposed posed to
the doctrine should be, as Michael Gordon defined, 'reconfigured'7.
Sovereignty and the Rule of Law: The current position
Dicey famously considered parliamentary sovereignty to be the prime
constitutional principle in the UK. However, it must be noted that his view
that Parliament has the rights to 'make or unmake any law whatever'8
does not assert that Parliament is omnipotent but that constitutional democracy official power should be 'controlled
and limited'9.
From the surface, this seems to be true. Dicey's conferment of prior status to
parliamentary sovereignty over the rule of law has always been honoured in
practice by the courts. The 'orthodox view' that Dicey put forth also
seems to withstand logical analysis seeing that the UK courts, when viewed
continentally, are not constitutional courts. In this context, the status of
the courts in the UK can be contrasted with that of constitutional courts
elsewhere. Back in 1781, the constitution of the United States of America did
not allow in many words the Supreme Court to strike down Acts of the federal
Congress. However, it was soon held in the landmark case of Marbury v Madison10where the principle of judicial review was
established in which federal
courts were entitled to declare legislative and executive acts
unconstitutional.
Thus, when the Supreme Court was established in 2009, there were
some who question whether the UK courts might eventually evolve into a US style
Supreme Court11.
The proposition is especially seductive when viewed in light of the
implementation of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and other constitutional
developments which allowed us to observe a shift in practice and structure of
the UK's unwritten constitution. Courts have been more willing to impose
limitations and duties upon public bodies in line with the rule of law which has been applied as a principle,
rather than a 'specific rule'12, throughout the years in
justifying their judgement when constraining discretionary power conferred by
Parliament on public officials and to establish the grounds of both procedural
and substantive public law duties and rights of the individual against the
state, namely through judicial review proceedings. Part 1 of the 2005
Act provided that it 'does not adversely affect… the existing constitutional principle of the rule of law'.
Thus, the two fundamental principles of our constitution, albeit still remains
the foundation of our uncodified constitution, have undergone subtle changes
since it was articulated in the late half of the 19th century.
Jeffrey Jowell posed the crucial question of whether the relationship between parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of
law has now 'changed' in light of the recent constitutional developments which
will be discussed shortly13.
Have the courts in the UK acquired the
confidence to take the role of constitutional courts as outlined above? The role of
the courts is to ensure that public bodies stay within the limits of the powers
which Parliament has given them or, in the case of central government, within
the limits of the royal prerogative. But what would happen if in the
circumstances of those rare cases where the two organising and fundamental
principles of our Constitution might conflict, which will take priority? And if so, will the rule of law still stand
as the 'historic servant'14
to Parliamentary sovereignty?
Challenges: The European Union and Jackson
The UK formally joined the European Union on 1
January 1903. The relationship between UK law and the various treaties is
governed by the European Communities Act 1972 (ECA) which lay the foundations
of EU law. Section 2(1) of the ECA, which provides that 'all
such rights, powers, liabilities, obligations and restrictions from time to
time created or arising by or under the Treaties' shall have 'legal effect' and
be enforceable in the UK. Furthermore, in accordance with section 2(4) which
provides that 'any enactment passed or to be passed … shall be construed and
have effect subject to the foregoing provisions of this section'. purports to
ensure that any domestic legal rule, regardless of its status, will take effect
subject to the law of the EU. This principle of the supremacy of EU law,
established in the case of Costa15
and further developed in Internationale
Handelsgesellschaft16
and Simmenthal17
seems to pose a potentially potent challenge to the traditional Diceyan
understanding of the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty. For the first time,
courts seem to possess the power to determine whether an Act of Parliament is
valid in accordance with the terms that legislation by future Parliaments would
have to be compatible with EU law. This was illustrated in Factortame18
litigation in which the House of Lords ruled that the provisions of the
Merchant Shipping Act 1988 which restricted the right of foreign-owned ships to
fish in UK waters, had to be disapplied in line with the principle of EU law
supremacy. Thus the question; did the UK's membership in the EU allowed the
impossible? Could courts displace the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty and
strike down legislations which they deem incompatible? Lord Bridge in
Factortame seems to answer in the negative when he characterises the
restriction on parliamentary sovereignty imposed by EU law as a 'voluntary'19
one which was accepted by Parliament itself. Parliament is still the 'author'
of whatever limited constitutional change that might be recognized and the
courts, merely their 'agents' in implementing Parliament's will contained in
the statute. This is especially true when read in line with the case of Thorburn20
where Laws LJ stated that although the ECA 1972 is regarded as 'constitutional
statute' and enjoys a position above ordinary status, it can still be repealed
by 'unambiguous words'21
by Parliament.
the better approach in addressing these issues is to consider whether any 'rule of recognition'22 which supports parliamentary sovereignty has now
been surpassed by one which prefers the rule of law. Positivists track any
alteration to their rule of recognition by reference to its internal acceptance
on the part of at least a core of officials administering the legal system. Is
there any altered "political fact"23 which justifies a new-found judicial authority
to review the validity of legislation so as to ensure conformity with the rule
of law? To answer this, it would be
useful to look into the famous case of Jackson which provides compelling evidence that
there are changed understandings and expectations which, unlike in the past,
reject the notion of the unfettered authority of a legislature, however
representative of popular opinion it may be.
Jackson, the House of Lords was called upon to resolve a
dispute about whether the Hunting Act 2004 was a valid piece of legislation.
The argument was that the Parliament Act 1911, in providing that
a Bill might become law in certain circumstances without the consent of the House
of Lords, had delegated the power of Parliament as lawfully constituted. Thus,
the legislation passed was delegated rather than primary legislation and courts
possess the power to strike down primary legislation. The Parliament Act 1949,
passed under the 1911 Act modified the circumstances in which a Bill can become
law especially in the absence of the Lords' consent. Thus, the argument that
the Hunting Act 2004, passed under the modified procedure of the 1949 Act was
invalid. The Appellate Committee of the House of Lords rejected the argument.
The language used was explicit; any Bills passed under the 1949 procedure would
become Acts. There was no delegation to a lesser body. Thus, as Lord Steyn put
forth, a distinction between what Parliament can do via legislation and what
Parliament has to legislate needs to be drawn24.
The most important implication from the Jackson case is the dicta by the Lords
that the absolute sovereign authority of Parliament that was strongly
emphasised by Dicey is no longer upheld as the primary constitutional principle
in the UK. Lord Hope of Craighead
was prepared to regard the principle of the rule of law to be our "ultimate
controlling"25
factor while Lord Steyn and Lady Hale readily stated that the courts should be
ready to intervene if the rule of law were subverted by abolishing judicial
review (Lord Steyn) or when infringement of individual rights are at stake
(Lady Hale).
Despite the
compelling and strong obiter dicta of the majority of the Lords in Jackson,
those dicta are not concordant. Even so, they do not point towards a shift to a
new rule of recognition. Instead, it points towards a shift to the manner and
form conception or 'new view' of parliamentary sovereignty. Lord
Bingham, in the minority, noted, there is 'no basis in the language of section
2(1) or in principle for holding that the parenthesis in that subsection … are
unamendable save with the consent of the Lords'26.
Michael Gordon argued that the courts are only entitled to recognise the actual
explicit conditions put forth by Parliament when relevant statutory conditions
on the use of legislative power is concerned rather that implying conditions of
'their own making'27.
Thus, in line with the manner and form conception, only Parliament is lawfully
obliged to impose those conditions and doing the opposite is simply elevating
the judiciary illegitimately to constitutional supremacy.
we consider how despite the apparent strengthening of judicial independence in
the UK courts, courts are still subordinate to Parliament in the sense that it
is Parliament that has the final say. under section 3(1) of the Constitutional Reform Act to "uphold the
continued independence of the judiciary." The Lord Chancellor has an
additional duty, expressed in the oath of office, to "defend" that
independence. The rest of section 3 sets this defence includes preventing undue
Government influence on judicial decisions (including undue ministerial
criticism of judicial decisions), ensuring adequate resources for the judiciary
to exercise their functions and having regard to the public interest. As Graham
put forth, the independence of the judiciary is a core element of the rule of
law as it places the judiciary in a position as to attach weight to 'cherished
constitutional goods' in the absence of political pressure. However, it must be
reconciled with the fact that the Act remains consistent with the political
model in the sense that the Lord Chancellor albeit assuming the role of an
ordinary Minister retains the final say and that the statutory duty to uphold
judicial independence is merely declaratory.
conclusion, this essay does not aim to purport the view that the UK
constitution is purely 'political'. It cannot be denied that in light of all
the constitutional changes in the UK as discussed, the judiciary has been
empowered in a way that they play a special role in constitutional terms in upholding
fundamental principles. However, it is the principle of Parliamentary
sovereignty namely the 'new view' that prevails in the end.

School-to-work transitions during coronavirus: Lessons from the 2008 Global Financial Crisis
By Ingrid Schoon
Professor, University College London Institute of Education
and Anthony Mann
Senior Analyst, OECD Directorate for Education and Skills
In this uncertain world, there is one thing that few economists doubt: the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will have a serious impact on the employment opportunities of young people. Even before the pandemic struck, youth faced a labour market characterised by temporary and precarious employment, commonly experiencing unemployment rates up to three times higher than adults.
In the months and years ahead, the economic prospects of the young can be expected to become still more difficult – as they did in the aftermath of the global financial collapse of 2008. Analysis of that recession provides important insight into why youth are so vulnerable, but also how some countries were able to buffer the young against the worst consequences of a global economic downturn. By looking back, important lessons emerge for policy makers grappling with challenges lying ahead.
Why are young people so vulnerable during economic downturns?
Employers commonly respond to falling demand by pausing recruitment, decreasing involvement in training programmes such as apprenticeships and reducing staffing through a last-in/first-out policy. The jobs that many young people do are at particularly high risk of automation, and often involve contracts without employment insurance, health benefits or paid leave. Precarious employment conditions and early experiences of unemployment bring with them long-term scarring effects regarding future job prospects, health and well-being.
As society seeks to rebuild after the pandemic, it is essential to take into account the pressing needs of young people to find viable employment and training. Urgent action is required for governments to support young people and future generations as they make the transition from education and training into sustained employment.
Since the 2008 recession, significant work has been undertaken by researchers exploring what governments and education systems can do to protect young people.
The evidence points to three critical measures:
1. Creating strong connections between education institutions and employers
Strong bridges between education systems and labour markets play an important role in buffering the negative effects of economic downturn on young people's employment prospects. In particular, high quality, high volume vocational education training (VET) has been shown to be effective in facilitating smooth transitions into the labour market and entry into viable careers, including at times of crisis.
This was the case for example, in German-speaking countries (highlighted in the chart below) following the 2008 recession. In such countries, strong social partnerships help to ensure that the costs to employers and apprentices of apprenticeship programmes are balanced by the benefits they receive. Where the provision of apprenticeships is in the employer's interest, there is strong likelihood that young people will move into permanent work afterwards. Artificial incentives such as subsidies for employers can distort patterns of labour market demand, engaging young people on programmes with poor long-term prospects.
Source: OECD.Stat
Government interventions are most valuable if they focus on the quality of apprenticeship provision, the duration, pay and support available to ratchet up the productivity of apprentices. Especially attractive are degree apprenticeships that are developed by employers, universities and professional bodies, and attract high calibre school leavers. More generally, programmes rich in work-based learning give young people the experience, contacts and confidence they need to succeed in tight labour markets.
Post-coronavirus, education systems will have to overcome the likely challenges in engaging employers to deliver work-based learning in a world defined by social distancing. It will be essential to overcome barriers to ensure that young people gain authentic experiences of work as they develop the knowledge and skills demanded by the labour market.
The combination of a strong VET system with strict employment protection has shown to be effective in ensuring a smooth transition and good career prospects by matching skills and knowledge with employer demand. There is thus a case to expand and enforce programmes such as the EU Youth Employment Initiative and to provide sustainable support for the most vulnerable.
2. Providing well-focused career guidance and information for all learners
In 2019, the OECD, Cedefop, European Commission, European Training Foundation, ILO and UNESCO launched a joint leaflet on the importance of career guidance. The publication recognised that with today's young people staying in education longer than any preceding generation, they need to make ever more decisions about what, where and how hard to study in order to secure the qualifications needed to pursue their aspirations. With work increasingly automated and precarious however, decision-making has become more difficult.
In a recession, the importance of guidance grows. Demand for employment falls, but in an uneven way. Young people, who might have expected to move into work, commonly try to weather the storm by staying in education. Typically, it is lower achieving young people from more disadvantaged backgrounds with weak access to family-based guidance who most need help from career guidance services in making informed decisions.
OECD PISA 2018 data show that young people's career expectations tend to be unrealistic, poorly informed and distorted by gender, social class and migrant status. A turbulent economy is likely to increase the mismatch between labour market demand and young people's occupational aspirations and educational qualifications.
The pandemic is an opportunity to broaden the interests of young people, witnessing the contributions that so many (often overlooked) workers make to the fundamental operation of society.
The pandemic however, also represents an opportunity to broaden the interests of young people as they witness in real time the contributions that so many (often overlooked) workers make to the fundamental operation of society and the struggle against the coronavirus. During this crisis, a differentiation has been made between 'essential' and 'non-essential' work. Essential workers include those in the caring professions, social services, transport and service industries (including cleaners and refuse collectors). Most of these occupations do not score high in social prestige, are generally poorly paid and without sufficient job security. In times of crisis however, we are strongly dependent on them. Making the positive contributions of these 'essential industries' more visible could broaden the aspirations of young people. At the same time, the case grows stronger for properly rewarding those employed in 'essential industries', providing opportunities for further training and upskilling, and movement up the occupational hierarchy.
Across the OECD, compulsory education ends on average at age 16. PISA 2018 shows however, that by the age of 15, fewer than half of teenagers have spoken with a career counsellor, attended a job fair or undertaken an internship. Part-time teenage working and school-mediated career development activities have been linked to better employment outcomes than would otherwise be expected. In an economic crisis, it becomes more important than ever for schools to give all young people access to information about the labour market and exposure to the world of work. In the current period of social distancing, it is vital that countries find ways, as is happening in Estonia, to ensure that job fairs and even work placements continue. This guidance will actively support young people in their transition into work, help them become critical thinkers and prepare them to compete in tough recruitment exercises.
3. Introducing remedial interventions to help young people after they leave education
Education systems can increase the competitiveness of all young people for available employment, but they cannot make unemployment disappear. Effective systems will put in place active labour market initiatives to support young workers who struggle to find employment. Interventions should include support for lifelong learning using digital tools and online training sites to facilitate upskilling and reskilling among young workers in a changing labour market, and devote attention as well to addressing the housing needs of young people.
By learning the lessons of past crises, governments and education systems can ensure that the workforce of the future starts its journey on the firmest footing possible today.

DHR Home > Historic Registers > Montgomery (County)
060-0337 Slusser-Ryan Farm
NPS property number SG100001514
The Slusser-Ryan Farm, also known as Hickory Ridge Farm, highlights aspects of Montgomery County's agricultural and industrial history from around 1855 to 1880. The centerpiece of the property is a two-story, evolved center-passage-plan house. Character-defining features of the house's era and region are embodied in its log construction, limestone foundation, brick chimneys, a prominent two-tier front porch with sawn balustrade, and interior woodwork that includes decoratively painted parlor baseboards. Around 1855, James P. Slusser built the earliest portion of the house–a log section with V-notched corners. A member of a prominent family of farmers and coal miners in the Mount Tabor area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Slusser expanded the house around 1870. The property's historic character is enhanced by domestic and agricultural buildings constructed under Slusser's ownership during the 1870s including a smokehouse, and wagon barn and a hay barn, among other structures. The property also contains two historic sites: a coal mine and cemetery.

New Study Finds that Blindness Will Double by 2050
A study published by researchers at the University of Southern California Roski Eye Institute in JAMA Ophthalmology found that the U.S. prevalence in visual impairment and blindness is expected to double over the next 35 years. By 2050, the number of Americans with a variety of eye disease and impairment issues, including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and cataracts, will dramatically increase, impacting both individuals and society.
The National Eye Institute-funded study found that by 2050, 16.4 million Americans over age 40 will have visual impairments, compared to 8.2 million in 2015. More than 2 million age 40+ will be blind, and 6.95 million will have VI by 2050, compared to 1.02 million and 3.22 million in 2015.

Raymond Alvin Jackson
Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
Richard Leroy Williams
Sussex, Virginia
Norfolk State University (B.A.)
University of Virginia School of Law (J.D.)
Raymond Alvin Jackson (born 1949) is a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
1 Education and career
2 Federal judicial service
3 Important Cases
Education and career[edit]
Born in Sussex, Virginia, Jackson received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Norfolk State University in 1970 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1973. He was in the United States Army, JAG Corps, from 1973 to 1977, attaining the rank of Captain. He thereafter remained in the United States Army Reserve, achieving the rank of Colonel. He was an Assistant United States Attorney of the Eastern District of Virginia from 1977 to 1993, and was an adjunct lecturer at the College of William and Mary, Marshall-Wythe School of Law, from 1981 to 1991 and in 1993.
Federal judicial service[edit]
On September 24, 1993, Jackson was nominated by President Bill Clinton to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia vacated by Richard Leroy Williams. Jackson was confirmed by the United States Senate on November 20, 1993, and received his commission on November 22, 1993.
Important Cases[edit]
Jackson was the district court judge in the critical Supreme Court decision in Kimbrough v. United States (2007). Derrick Kimbrough was indicted in September 2004 on four drug-related counts: conspiracy to distribute both crack and powder cocaine; possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of crack cocaine; possession with intent to distribute powder cocaine; and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense. Kimbrough pleaded guilty to all four counts. Under the statutes that define these respective crimes, Kimbrough faced a sentence of between 15 years and life in prison. Based on the facts, Kimbrough admitted at his change-of-plea hearing, as well as the fact that Kimbrough had testified falsely at a codefendant's trial, Jackson computed the applicable range under the federal sentencing guidelines at 228 to 270 months in prison.
Kimbrough's Guidelines range was so high because his offense involved both crack and powder cocaine. Jackson observed that if Kimbrough's crime had involved powder cocaine only, his sentencing range would have been 97 to 106 months. The mandatory minimum sentence, in turn, was 180 months in prison, and Jackson imposed that sentence.
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the sentence and remanded for further proceedings. Relying on a prior opinion, the appellate court stated that any sentence that fell outside the Guidelines range was per se unreasonable if that sentence was based on a policy disagreement with the fact that crack cocaine offenses are punished more harshly than powder cocaine offenses. The United States Supreme Court agreed to review the Fourth Circuit's reasoning in this case and reversed the Fourth Circuit's opinion, holding that the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for cocaine are advisory only, and a judge may consider the disparity between the Guidelines' treatment of crack and powder cocaine offenses when imposing a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary.

Designing a hybrid digital service to support people facing homelessness
Service Organisational design and change
Sector Not for profit
Duration 4.5 months
How we brought digital and front line teams together to increase the scope of services at Crisis.
Crisis originally formed in 1967, as an urgent response to the growing homelessness crisis. Since then the non-commissioned charity has helped tens of thousands of people out of homelessness.
However, the model Crisis is working within was designed at a time when there were more resources in the wider sector, and it was easier for people to access housing.
Now, Crisis' model must move from complementing others' services, to coordinating and delivering what is needed to end someone's homelessness. They therefore need to reconsider how to organise their services and collaborate with their partners to support people's needs.
They wanted to reach consensus around who exactly Crisis should be focusing on supporting — accepting that this might be different across regions — and how to run an operation that puts residents at the heart, while effectively managing demand and prioritising staff wellbeing.
The TPXimpact team was embedded within the Data, Digital and Technology Transformation team (DDTT) at Crisis. We worked closely with the organisation's Client Services directorate, which manages the operations of frontline services, as Crisis wanted our help getting these two programmes to work together more collaboratively.
Through a mix of service design expertise and direct support for the teams, we were able to create better understanding and a shared strategy between the digital and resident facing services at Crisis.
We began by mapping the existing services at Crisis, identifying the needs and pain points of frontline staff and of those using their services. We then generated solutions together for how they could reshape their teams to work more effectively.
Through workshops and interviews, we also explored how digital could better support their users. We learned that a hybrid digital and in person offering would meet people's needs more effectively in a post-pandemic world. This approach will enable Crisis to provide tailored support to individuals, no matter where or how they engage with the organisation, and also help Crisis to manage demand for its services.
Below is an example of how support can be provided within the homelessness space, showing the opportunity that exists for Crisis to help people in new ways.
This offering is based around creating accessible digital solutions, on the web and via apps, with the potential to connect certain components to the Crisis internal case management system.
This project was a starting point for DDTT and client service teams at Crisis to work together more effectively, through shared language and a unified approach. Crisis is now building these principles of collaboration into its wider organisational strategy for the coming year.
In the meantime, the two teams are eager to progress working in agile ways, co-designing and testing more with people facing homelessness. They are also looking to bring people with lived experience of homelessness in as permanent employees within their services.
TPXimpact and Crisis hope to work together again to develop some of these digital solutions and to keep piloting new ways of working across Crisis service teams and with local partners.
Alison Prince Programme Director - Data, Digital and Technology
I'm really proud of what the Crisis team and TPXimpact achieved together in such a short period of time. Partnerships based on shared values are such an important tool in delivering change. We now have a much clearer sense of how we can continue to build on our strengths as well as look to achieve even more impact through our services, particularly through data, digital and technology.
Chris Hancock Director of Services Development
The TPXimpact team were always constructively challenging, worked to an exceptional standard and were a real joy to work alongside. The work TPXimpact has helped develop here will lead directly to long lasting and embedded improvements in our services and therefore will directly lead to more people's homelessness ending for good.

Hoekstra: ISIS Success Inspires Terrorists Like Omar Mateen
NewsmaxTV
https://www.investigativeproject.org/5430/isis-success-inspires-terrorists-like-omar-mateen
[Start transcript]
[From video of news conference]:
FBI Director James Comey: We are going through the killer's life, as I said, especially his electronics, to understand as much as we can about his path and whether there was anyone else involved, either in directing him or in assisting him. So far we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the United States, and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network.
John Bachman: That's what makes it all so concerning. You don't even have to really travel or train with these terrorist groups, you can be inspired by a video you saw online and turn into Omar Mateen. We turn now to Pete Hoekstra. He's the Shillman Senior Fellow with the Investigative Project on Terrorism. He's also the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee and a good friend of Newsmax. Pete, it's great to talk to you again.
Pete Hoekstra: Hey, good to be with you. Thank you.
Bachman: When you hear James Comey talk about the fact that there appears to be no outside direction on, prior to this attack, but ISIS of course claims responsibility and celebrates the terrorist here, what is your reaction?
Hoekstra: Well the good news is the message that this is not a network. There is, at least we haven't identified a network of likeminded individuals who may have been coordinating attacks. That's good information and that's good news. The bad news is you know he's operating alone, he was perhaps radicalized online or you know with some acquaintances in the Orlando area, and that just tells us how difficult it is to identify these people in a country of over 350 million people, and that a person like this, a single person, can go out and create this kind of horrific attack.
Bachman: Alright, I want to welcome in some callers before we get on the next topic. We have Luis, who is calling from St. Marie, Vermont, or sorry, Montana. Luis, good to have you with us.
Caller (Louis): Hello, can you hear me loud and clear?
Bachman: Yes, loud and clear. Go ahead.
Caller (Louis): Good. Do you expect any action from the president and the Congress? That will happen when Hell freezes over. I have no confidence in Congress. I have no confidence in president of the United States. The sheriff of that county has to do whatever he has to do within reason and within the law. And I'm voting for Donald Trump this November. I'd rather not take any chances. I'd rather have them vet every Muslim coming into this country, that's (UI few words) they cannot come inside.
Bachman: Well, Louis, the problem with that line of thought is that this guy was born in New York, just like the San Bernardino terrorist was born in Chicago. These are homegrown terrorists. And by preventing Muslims from immigrating to this country or preventing refugees, and while I believe there needs to be a better process for vetting them, preventing them wouldn't have prevented this attack. Pete, go ahead.
Hoekstra: Well I think John we're missing one point here.
Bachman: Go ahead.
Hoekstra: ISIS is winning right now.
Bachman: Right.
Hoekstra: ISIS has you know they've created four failed states, with Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen. They've got momentum. The number of victims that are being killed every year as a result of radical jihadist activities has grown from around 2,500 in 2001 to between 25,000 and 30,000 people globally now each and every year. This is what in some cases may be attracting this guy in Orlando to ISIS and radical jihadism because he sees they're winning.
Bachman: That's right. That's right, Pete. We have not figured out a way to defeat the ideology. And that's how they're able to win. That's how they're able to inspire guys like Mateen.
Hoekstra: That's exactly right.
Bachman: Yeah. Well I think we had another caller. Did we lose that caller? OK, we lost that caller. But you know Pete, I wonder also, you talk about the Middle East, obviously there's a new, I don't know if it's more momentum towards actually declaring some sort of war, against ISIS. How do you feel about that? Do we need a declaration of war against ISIS?
Hoekstra: I think actually Congress declaring war, hopefully in a bipartisan manner, establishing the parameters for what that would be against radical jihadism, I think that would be helpful. We have now been in this process for 15 years. We've been losing ground. We as a nation are now divided. Republicans and Democrats are divided. If Congress, and this is a big if, if Congress could come together, outline a declaration of war and bring Congress and the American people and the executive branch together to confront this threat, that would be a huge step forward. It's also a big, big if.
Bachman: A big if, but we should also point out there is bipartisan support for it. Tim Kaine, Democrat from Virginia, he's called for it. A number of Republicans have called for it as well. We are still fighting this war against ISIS based on a military authorization for al-Qaida. And if anybody knows about the differences between the two groups, they are vast and much different organizations and much different strategy. Pete, as always, great to see you. Time is short.
Hoekstra: Thank you.
Bachman: Love to talk with you some more and we'll have you back real soon here on The Hard Line. Thanks for being with us. There's two separate issues here. We're talking about gun control; of course that's part of the domestic conversation. The other issue is what to do with ISIS in the Middle East. They will be able to continue to reach into the computer screens in places like Fort Pierce, Fla., where this Omar Mateen was from, and inspire people who don't have it all going on up top. And that's going to continue until we can take out that threat, their ability to win the propaganda war, as Congressman Hoekstra was talking about.

Omar Mateen Was Gay
Submitted by Jack Rainbow, Jun 15, 2016 08:11
further to my earlier post today:
Daily Telegraph UK
http:/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/14/orlando-gunman-was-a-regular-at-lgbt-nightclub-pulse-before-atta/
Genital guilt seems to be a feature of Muslimism; Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, Nigeria, Brunei etc all have death penalty for gays. Islam and Muslims generally , not just gay Muslims, feel guilty about their sexuality. Genital guilt is a feature of the Abrahamic religions.
Ideology, Propaganda and Psychology
" You don't even have to travel or train - - - you can be inspired by video online and turn into Omar Mateen."
Well no, I couldn't. I would have to be from a Muslim family and believe the utter BS of the Koran before I would be open to the Terror propaganda of other angry Muslims . I would have to be set up by developing an angry personality where religious belief becomes a means of coping with negative early relationships (strict rules, totally dominating father etc) and where religion has a very strong EMOTIONAL connection for me.
"We have not figured out a way to defeat the ideology". No, YOU have not. But I'm glad you mentioned it because at least you might now be open to taking the time to look at the psychological connection between the nuclear Muslim family, the teachings of the Koran and Hadith, angry adults whose beliefs justify murder and how to use what you learn to develop effective counter propaganda methods. Understanding the psychology of the Religious Personality Disordered person would be the first step.
Some years ago in the UK there was a pub bombing in a gay pub. During the trial of the non Muslim perpetrator it was reported that psychologists found he was actually gay. His family /peers judged gays harshly. His resulting guilt was denied and he projected that onto others who were gay. Like Omar Mateen's father, was his father a rules and obedience freak? I'd like to try and disprove my theories that Islam unwittingly conditions the young to develop Religious Personality Disorder and that denying their homosexuality is a prime cause of unconscious fury controlling their behaviour. I have not the resources for this, but I know how to go about it and that is extremely frustrating for me.
If you really want to figure out a way to "defeat the ideology" then you would have to undertake this research. Without psychological understanding you could not effectively challenge the Koran. You would not be able to challenge the Koran without by the same token, criticising the Bible and all religion.
Do you have the courage to do what is necessary for survival?
