Plaintiff's Willful and Bad Faith Spoliation of Evidence and "Hide the Ball" Tactics Warranted Default Judgment on Counterclaims
Browse archives for May 17, 2006
Krumwiede v. Brighton Assocs., L.L.C., 2006 WL 1308629 (N.D. Ill. May 8, 2006)
In this case, plaintiff sued his former employer for breach of his employee agreement, reimbursement of back pay, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and reformation of the employee agreement. On August 25, 2005, the former employer ("Brighton") filed a counterclaim alleging that plaintiff went to work for a competitor, STI, and misappropriated a business opportunity with a prospective Brighton client (LifeScan Scotland, Ltd.). The counterclaim alleged: (1) breach of the non-compete provision of the employee agreement, (2) breach of the confidentiality provision, (3) tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, (4) violation of the Illinois Trade Secrets Act, and (5) breach of duty.
At the same time the counterclaim was served, Brighton's attorney also delivered to Krumwiede's counsel a letter demanding that Krumwiede return the laptop computer that Brighton had furnished to Krumwiede for his use while employed by Brighton ("Brighton's laptop"). Brighton sought to recover the laptop in order to determine whether Brighton's data was used improperly after Krumwiede went to work for STI.
When Krumwiede refused to return the laptop, Brighton moved to compel its surrender. On September 15, 2005, the court granted the motion and ordered Krumwiede to turn over Brighton's laptop by the close of business. When Krumwiede failed to do so, Brighton filed an emergency petition to show cause. At the hearing on the emergency petition, the parties agreed that Brighton's laptop computer would be placed in the custody of a neutral expert, Forensicon, Inc., who would perform a forensic analysis of the laptop hard drive. Ultimately, Brighton's laptop computer was sent to Forensicon on September 16, 2005. Based on Forensicon's report, Brighton contended that Krumwiede had used his extra time with the computer to destroy evidence relevant to Brighton's counterclaim. Brighton sought terminating sanctions against plaintiff for spoliation of evidence.
Krumwiede countered that he did not intentionally destroy any evidence and that most of the allegedly destroyed evidence still existed on his personal laptop and probably on Brighton's laptop (with only insignificant alterations in the files' metadata) as well. He explained that, while his personal laptop was being repaired, he had transferred confidential STI data to the Brighton laptop. He maintained that no evidence was intentionally destroyed and that all the files in question either existed on Brighton's laptop or on his own personal laptop. However, before his claims could be verified or his personal laptop analyzed, Krumwiede shipped his personal computer to STI for "safe keeping," and argued that his nondisclosure agreement with STI prevented him from turning over the computer. Krumwiede alleged that he might be fired if he asked for the return of his personal computer from STI, but provided no evidence that this was true. Further, Krumwiede admitted that he had not actually requested its return.
The court conducted an evidentiary hearing, and ultimately concluded that default judgment on the counterclaims against plaintiff was "the only appropriate remedy" for plaintiff's discovery misconduct. It reasoned:
Krumwiede's conduct shows such blatant contempt for this Court and a fundamental disregard for the judicial process that his behavior can only be adequately sanctioned with a default judgment. Entering a default judgment against Krumwiede will send a strong message to other litigants, who scheme to abuse the discovery process and lie to the Court, that this behavior will not be tolerated and will be severely sanctioned. Furthermore, any sanction less than default on these counts will not cure the prejudice already suffered by Brighton.
(Citations omitted.) Accordingly, the court entered default judgment on the first four counterclaims and advised that a trial would be held on the issue of damages as to those claims on a date to be set by the court. The court further awarded Brighton its costs and fees relating to its motion for sanctions, including Forensicon's fees and Brighton's reasonable attorneys' fees.
The opinion sets forth the court's findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to FRCP Rule 52(a). Describing the evidence of plaintiff's discovery misconduct, the court found:
Clear and convincing evidence establishes that Krumwiede acted willfully and in bad faith when he continued to alter, modify, and destroy evidence after August 25, 2005. Beginning on August 25, 2005, Krumwiede had a duty not to alter, destroy, or modify the contents of Brighton's laptop computer. Despite this duty to preserve evidence, Brighton's laptop experienced a spike in activity between August 25, 2005 and September 16, 2005, that resulted in the alteration, modification, or destruction of thousands of potentially relevant files and their metadata. Particularly troubling is the tremendous increase in activity immediately following Krumwiede's receipt of the August 25, 2005 letter (especially from August 25 to August 28, 2005) and the September 15, 2005 order. In fact, it appears that Krumwiede worked late on September 15, 2005, in order to complete as many file transfers, alterations, and modifications as possible before relinquishing control of the laptop computer on September 16, 2005, and that Krumwiede lied to this Court when he testified that he did not receive notice of the September 15, 2005 order until September 16, 2005.
12. While the volume and timing of Krumwiede's activities are sufficient to find willful and bad faith spoliation of evidence, it is also clear that Krumwiede specifically altered and deleted potentially adverse evidence directly relevant to Brighton's claims. Of the altered or deleted files in this case, over 200 different files contained the words "LifeScan" or "Inverness." Without even delving into the merits of Brighton's claims, these 200 files appear to relate directly to Brighton's claims for breach of non-compete provision, breach of confidentiality provision, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, and violation of the Illinois Trade Secrets Act.
13. Krumwiede's willfulness and bad faith are further evidenced by his continued obstruction of discovery even after relinquishing control of Brighton's laptop computer. In his December 9, 2005 response to Brighton's motion for sanctions, Krumwiede denied allegations of intentional spoliation of evidence, claiming instead that he stored confidential STI information on Brighton's laptop when his own computer was being repaired and then removed those files from Brighton's laptop before turning it over to Forensicon in order to avoid breaching his Nondisclosure/Confidentiality Agreement with STI. Krumwiede claimed-and continues to claim – that no evidence was intentionally destroyed and that all the files in question either exist on Brighton's laptop or on his own personal laptop. However, immediately after filing his December 9, 2005 response, and before his claims could be verified or his personal laptop analyzed, Krumwiede shipped his personal computer to STI for safe keeping, again arguing that his Nondisclosure/Confidentiality Agreement with STI prevented him from turning over the computer. To date, Krumwiede refuses to ask STI to return his laptop because he has a feeling STI will fire him if he makes the request.
As noted above, Krumwiede's Nondisclosure/Confidentiality Agreement with STI does not apply when STI employees are required by law to produce evidence. Furthermore, despite Krumwiede's hunch, there is no evidence to suggest that STI will fire Krumwiede if he asks for his personal laptop. On the other hand, there is evidence-provided by this Court to Krumwiede – that a default judgment may be entered against Krumwiede if he fails to produce his laptop computer and substantiate his defenses to the spoliation of evidence claims. Nevertheless, Krumwiede refuses to ask for his personal laptop. Based on these facts, the Court finds Krumwiede's actions with regard to his laptop computer to be an egregious attempt to "hide the ball" and a flagrant discovery violation.

Wush Wush: The Ethiopian Coffee Breaking Rules and Turning Heads
July 1, 2022Jennifer Lewis

According to legend, coffee was first discovered more than a thousand years ago by a goat herder in the fertile highlands of western Ethiopia's Kaffa region. Today, the area's rich farmlands produce some of the best coffee in the world.
Ethiopian coffees, such as the rare and expensive Geisha variety, are prized for their floral, citrusy flavor profile, and Wushwush — a village known by many for its vibrant teas — is turning heads in the coffee industry with a light-roast coffee distinguished by its delicate piquancy and complex, sweet fruity and floral notes.
In 2021, the editors of the influential coffee-buying guide Coffee Review ranked a Wush Wush variety as one of the best coffees in the world. Scoring an impressive 96 points in a 100-point rating system designed to measure quality and other factors, the Wush Wush was selected as the No. 3 coffee out of thousands cupped and rated by the publication. In 2020, Wush Wush coffees earned the No. 10 and No. 14 spots in Coffee Review with ratings of 96 and 95 respectively.
As a certified coffee-quality grader for Black Rifle Coffee Company, Genifer Ness recently roasted a micro lot of Wush Wush beans for the company's Exclusive Coffee Subscription.

"On the cupping table we had such an array of flavors. To some people it was very tealike, light and fruity. Some said it was winelike with a deep flavor and a piquant feeling," Ness told Coffee or Die Magazine. "On the other side of the spectrum, we had earthy flavors and deep walnut flavors or sweet tobacco. Lots of caramel or toffeelike sweetness."
Wush Wush coffee is typically roasted lightly, and the ideal preparation is to finely grind the beans and brew the perfect cup using the Chemex pour over method. While Wush Wush can be made using a traditional coffee maker, a pour over smooths out the bitter taste of the beans and accents the coffee's sweetness. The unconventional processing of Wush Wush leads to inconsistent color when the coffee is brewed, resulting in either a caramel brown or, in some cases, a red honey hue.
"I believe this rule-bender of a coffee is all over the place because it's a wild coffee," Ness said. "The biggest thing I noticed is that the beans weren't as uniform as most specialty coffee beans are. When we get a great lot of specialty coffee, every bean is the same size, color, texture. There are very few defects. With this coffee, it changed all those rules; we had multiple shades of greens, yellows, and browns — all different sizes and shapes, lots of different textures. It even changed the rules we normally rely on while roasting; it was like balancing three different coffee roasts all in one profile."
Ness said the methods used to process Wush Wush coffee eschew some of the more advanced technologies and techniques used for other varieties, and the fermenting process is another defining feature of Wush Wush coffee. Coffee cherries are often spread out and dried in the sun, but Wush Wush cherries are processed in small batches and fermented for more than 100 hours in airtight bags in the forest. The method has contributed to the coffee's exceptional taste and reputation.

"For this coffee, they can't control every level of the processing with test tubes and lab equipment. There are no timers to go off and turn the coffee at the right time, no alarms to alert if some beans have fermented faster than others," Ness said. "There's no machine that sorts the ugly beans out from the rest of the lot. All the defects, ugly beans, and lack of uniformity make this coffee special because it takes 'perfect' out of the equation."
Today, much of the Wush Wush available is farmed in Colombia, where a careful balance of rain, sunshine, moderate temperatures, and rich soil have allowed Wush Wush to flourish for at least 30 years. Because the specialty coffee can be pricey, it may not be a daily ritual to indulge in, but Wush Wush is a must-try Ethiopian-derived coffee variety.
"Wush Wush is breaking all the rules we understand today in the industry and constantly evolving," Ness said. "Q graders never know what to expect from the beans, but working with them is always an experience to remember."

It: Chapter Two (2019)
Written by: Gary Dauberman (screenplay), Stephen King (novel)
Directed by: Andy Muschietti
Starring: Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, and Bill Hader
"For 27 years, I dreamt of you. I craved you... I've missed you!"
Immensity defines Stephen King's It, not only because it's a sprawling epic that spans time and space but because it's a book that weighs on you. King's prose unravels with the gradual inevitability of Sisyphus's rock rolling back down the hill: incidents and lines of dialogue repeat, haunting characters and readers alike as they plunge into the darkest, most disturbing corners of the author's imagination. For the most part, It is not a pleasant book because it intends to crush you under the weight of trauma, regret, and memory. Reading it is sometimes akin to recalling your worst nightmare, only to discover it was no dream at all.
Capturing that in any adaptation is always going to be a tricky proposition, whether it comes in the form of a 190-minute mini-series or a pair of feature films. With his second chapter, Andy Muschietti takes an admirable stab at trying to capture the breadth of King's novel, at least. Clocking in at nearly 3 hours, it at least feels like an epic in its attempt to bring the novel's crisscrossing structure to the screen; just as the novel is a lot of book, this adaptation is a lot of movie, and it leaves you sufficiently exhausted. I'm not sure it does so in the same way as the novel, however, as the length is a smokescreen concealing how weightless this film often is.
Only occasionally does it grasp the gravity that makes King's novel so indelible, largely because Muschietti's funhouse routine undercuts the story's genuine nastiness. Rather than crafting a grave, sobering comedown from the first film's thrills, Muschietti has largely opted to simply send you barreling down the funhouse once again, this time with a reloaded bag of tricks that transforms King's twisted, anti-nostalgic tale into a rousing victory lap. It's weirdly faithful and unfaithful all at once, all while remaining compulsively watchable; as I watched it, I found myself constantly nitpicking and nagging at my own brain, only to completely give myself over to it. It's an easy movie to like, which is weirdly kind of a problem considering the source material.
Gary Dauberman's script begins auspiciously enough by tackling the novel's Adrian Mellon episode head-on. As they did in the novel, Mellon (Xavier Dolan) and his boyfriend Don Hagarty (Taylor Frey) incite the wrath of a trio of homophobic dirtbags at the Derry town carnival. Not content to simply hurl slurs at the couple, the thugs beat the couple to a pulp, then toss Adrian into the town's canal, where he drifts downstream until something fishes him out and devours him. We recognize it as Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Bill Skarsgård), here revived after 27 years of stony sleep; Mike Hanlon (Isaiah Mustafa), now the town's obsessed, workaholic librarian surveys the crime scene and recognizes the fiend's handiwork. Recalling the pact he and his friends made as children, he calls the Losers Club back to Derry to fulfill its destiny with one final showdown with It.
The opening scene isn't just among the best this entry has to offer; it's among the best of both films, largely because it stands in stark contrast to Chapter One's relatively breezy thrill ride approach. It's dark, bleak, brutal, and, most importantly, ugly before Pennywise appears, crucially reminding the audience that Derry itself is infected with the real-world horrors of bigotry, abuse, and neglect. It's enough to convince you that Muschietti and company understand that Chapter Two is supposed to be the more complex, adult B-side to the first film, which feels destined to become a sleepover classic for generations to come. If I'm being honest, Chapter Two should have no business being anywhere near sleepovers; Muschietti, however, seems to disagree because he struggles to maintain the oppressively somber, shocking tone of the opening scene and eventually relapses into delivering the same sort of outlandish, loud thrills from the first movie.
The relapse doesn't happen immediately because Muschietti does handle both Stan Uris's heartbreaking fate and the Losers' reunion delicately enough. Mustafa is critical here, as his manic performance effectively conveys how the weight of the intervening 27 years instantly floods over he and his friends. Each of his co-stars manage to capture the gripping panic found on King's pages as the Losers grapple with long-suppressed memories. Each of them gives the impression that they've been haunted without quite knowing it, a notion that King's prose dwells upon. It's a testament to these performances that they're able to do so without the benefit of the internal monologues that bring these characters to life on the page. Despite the obvious change in actors, there's the sense that these are the same Losers from the previous film, and the cast's chemistry is immediately evident.
In one of the story's few warm, relatively happy scenes, the Losers meet up at the Jade of the Orient to swap stories and catch each other up to speed. Unbeknownst to them, the grim specter of the absent Stan's death looms over it all, lending an unsettling, melancholy quality to the exchange that's straight out of the novel. Constant Readers will especially recognize this as a rare glimmer amidst the darkness that is It, and even this is soon snuffed out when Pennywise makes his presence known once the fortune cookies arrive at the table. Unfortunately, this is also the moment when it becomes clear that the restraint on display during the early-going will not be the norm for Chapter Two after all. It's not that gross things spill out of the fortune cookies (that's to be expected); rather, it's the overdone tenor of it all that signals that Muschietti is still mostly interested in exploiting King's novel for loud, overcooked shrieks instead of the more subtle, emotionally resonant horror that truly defines this tale.
This only becomes more clear when the script repurposes King's "walking tours" section of the novel to almost explicitly reprise the original film. Like their on-page counterparts, Muschietti's Losers must trek through Derry and dig up both buried remnants and long-suppressed memories from their childhood. The script brilliantly exploits the unseen corners from that Summer of '89, particularly the weeks when the Losers separated after coming to blows following Eddie's accident. The audience is treated to previously unseen moments via flashbacks, wherein some of the Losers recall their individual encounters with It during that summer. Some—namely Bill (James McAvoy, who is suitable enough) and Bev (Jessica Chastain, who is fine in an oddly small role)—must retrace their steps back to the most traumatic sites of their childhood. Not only does this cleverly recapture the interlocking structure of King's novel, but it has the welcome effect of letting the audience spend more time with the first film's charming cast.
Less brilliant, however, is the execution of this stretch in the film. Not only does it sport some dodgy CGI effects to de-age the younger cast, but it also features a mixed bag of scares thanks to Muschietti's relentless approach. For every genuinely unsettling, resonant, and quietly disturbing moment, there's unnecessarily jarring CGI outbursts, on-the-nose jolts, and even one of the most nonsensical needle-drops in recent memory. In many ways, this stretch functions less as a rumination on trauma and more like a victory lap that allows Muschietti to give the audience more of the same from the previous film. While the notion nicely rectifies the first film's linear structure, it rarely informs the events of either chapter in any meaningful way. If not for the CGI de-aging, you'd be forgiven for assuming that the flashbacks were scraps from Chapter One's cutting room floor, here gratuitously pasted in as an awkward sort of Greatest Hits reprisal. Sure, it's nice to hear these familiar tunes, but they largely have the effect of simply being nostalgic retreads.
That, of course, is largely the antithesis of King's novel, which is starkly anti-nostalgic in the way it finds a dark underbelly to rose-tinted Americana. You won't find much of that here, and it's a shame because the setup is here for Chapter Two to cleverly subvert expectations with some genuinely frightening, low-key scares that could act as grim, fucked-up counterparts to the spook-a-blast thrills from the first picture. Instead, it's just that stuff regurgitated ad nauseam. Even the most effective bits—like Bev meeting Pennywise in the guise of an elderly woman at her childhood home and Richie's recollection of a childhood encounter with bullies and a subsequent episode involving the town's Paul Bunyan statue—are accented with unnecessary, in-your-face jolts. It's almost as if Muschietti doesn't trust himself to simply lean on the solid imagery on the page: everything has to bludgeon the audience's senses to the point where even the most imaginative imagery loses their power. Ultimately, It: Chapter Two just feels a little too bombastic and silly to truly unnerve.
Weirdly lost in this funhouse reprisal is Pennywise himself, who shares precious little time with the adult losers until the climax, a decision that only becomes more baffling when Skarsgård completely owns every scene he appears in. An episode where he lures a young girl beneath some bleachers is exactly the sort of unsettling stuff I wanted to see more of in the film. It relies solely on the uncomfortable image of Pennywise's moon-face emerging from an inky darkness before the disarming lilt in his voice wears down his prey's defenses. Likewise, a later scene in a literal funhouse (as if we didn't know what sort of thing Muschietti was going for here) provides a stark reminder of how genuinely predatory Pennywise is. In a film that's otherwise all too eager to deliver too much of a good thing with its overcooked images, it's strange that we don't see more of King's killer clown, who often feels at a distance from the actual film. For example, he never actually appears on-screen with the adult Henry Bowers (Teach Grant), even though he once again taps him to kill off the Losers after escaping a mental hospital.
That particular subplot is also emblematic of how Chapter Two sometimes feels like a skim reading of the novel. Even at 169 minutes, the film often feels too brisk as it reduces entire characters like Bowers (who is nothing more than an a glowering boogeyman) to plot devices. This is to be expected, I suppose: no adaptation is going to be perfect, much less one that only has two films to work with. It's sometimes disappointing nonetheless because there's so much to like about both movies, including Chapter Two. I know it sounds like I've been overwhelmingly negative about this follow-up, but it remains compulsively watchable throughout. If someone were to dismiss a lot of my issues as fanboy nitpicks that plague most adaptations, I'm not sure I'd even argue too much to the contrary. It's true: It is a book that I have read several times, and one that I consider among my all-time favorites, so it's probably true that I'm being a little bit too hard on this take.
Besides, I certainly can't knock its ambition: while I find the approach of the second entry to be misguided in some cases, it's clear that Muschietti and company do have a fondness for the source material and even do their best to capture how big, weird, and fantastical King's novel is. Characters actually utter phrases like "The Ritual of Chud" and "the Deadlights" in an effort to capture the unfathomable, cosmic origins of It; of course, the script stops fall short of giving It an internal monologue where he ruminates on his hatred for "The Turtle," his godly nemesis that has existed since the universe's inception, but I suppose some concessions must be made. (Besides, there are more than a few nods to turtles strewn throughout both movies, and I choose to believe that, yes, the spirit of Maturin is working through the Losers and there's nothing you can do to change my head-cannon.)
Chapter Two also manages to land some poignant emotional blows thanks to some terrific performances from all involved. King's reputation of course puts his Master of Horror status at the forefront, but his work also often sports a gentle, moving humanity, and It is no exception. Muschietti's films sometimes whiff on the horror elements, but they absolutely nail King's heart-on-his-sleeve sentimentality. When Chapter Two leans on these beats, it soars; in a perhaps surprising turn of events, most of these moments involve Bill Hader, whose motormouthed Richie emerges as the heart and soul of the film. His relationship with Eddie (James Ransone) is a crucial lynchpin linking both chapters into a cohesive whole, and these two actors do a lot of the legwork in giving the final confrontation with Pennywise some much-needed emotional stakes. Simply put, the rapport between Hader and Ransone has been engineered to break your heart, and I love how Hader especially cuts through Richie's glib exterior during the film's rare quiet moments (his recollection of Stan's Bar Mitzvah is proof that these It films really work when they absolutely need to).
Like so much of Chapter Two, though, that final confrontation nags at the brain. Sure, it needs to feel like an epic finale, but I'm not quite sure it requires a big, weightless, relentless CGI display that turns this into a quippy, whiz-bang spectacle that you might see in any given summer blockbuster. At times, the finale threatens to unmoor the proceedings from those emotional stakes with unneeded jokes that mistake forced humor for levity. Muschietti does rebound nicely enough with a tender coda that captures the intimacy of the novel, all while sacrificing the apocalyptic vibe of it. Anyone hoping to see the legendary town flood that symbolically purifies Derry will be left disappointed; anyone who's unaware that it's missing in the first place will once again chalk this criticism up to more nitpicking, which might, again be fair.
The same can be said of the other omissions that left me reeling, such as the subplot where Beverly's psychotic, abusive husband (Will Beinbrink) tracks her to Derry. Likewise, we only glimpse Bill's wife Audra (Jess Weixler) during an early scene and never again, which leaves his discovery of his childhood bike without the expected payoff. Obviously, this is another case of streamlining an unwieldy text, but these two particular subplots add that crucial weight of consequences and responsibility to the adult portions of the book that the movie is seemingly trying to sprint away from.
But, again, I get it: to truly, faithfully adapt It and retain all the crucial stuff (like the deep, exhaustive lore surrounding Derry that got quick shout-outs in the first film), you'd need a different format altogether, like a premium cable series that could stretch on for several seasons. In the interest of not pining for something that simply doesn't exist, I'll simply tip my cap to what Muschietti and crew did pull off, especially since WB didn't exactly break the bank for the first film since it apparently had no idea this was going to be such a hit. For what it is, this It duology is largely successful; back in 2017, I kind of punted on the first film by insisting I'd need to see if Muschietti stuck the landing and consider the effort as a whole.
Now that it's possible, I feel confident in considering this to be one of the more respectable efforts at adapting King's work. When these movies sing, they really sing with moments of sublime terror and heartwarming humanity, all while trying to appease those of us who grew up compulsively reading the author's work (this one even works in one of the best King cameos ever, one that completely justifies the otherwise gratuitous scene where Bill stumbles upon Silver). Granted, there's a lot of back-and-forth like that, especially with Chapter Two, a film that hits and misses as it takes its big, ambitious swing. I can't help but admire such ambition, even if I wish the final product felt a little more substantial.
It's true that I would easily watch Muschietti's longer supercut of It because, again, these films are easy to watch. In fact, the second entry might be too easy to watch: if the first film was a funhouse ride, then this one should have been the sobering return to a childhood haunt, where you uncover the unseemly, sketchy elements that you never quite grasped when you were younger. Instead, Muschietti is content to simply content to hastily shuffle you back aboard with the hopes that the old thrills are still potent enough to distract you. They mostly are, but you still can't help but want to peek beyond the cheap exteriors in search of something more legitimately horrifying.

The program is hosted by Pacific Youth and Family Services Society and funded by Vancouver Coastal Health and serves youth from across BC who, due to the serious nature of their substance use, require a more intensive level of service than can be provided in their home community. The program is for youth of all genders between 13-18 years old and operates within the harm reduction spectrum with a trauma informed, client centered, and social justice framework.
The Ministry of Education's Provincial Resource Program (PRP) at Peak House serves as a therapeutic school program by providing academic continuity and re-engagement opportunities for youth while they attend addictions recovery. An individualized education program is developed for each student to support their educational and career/employment goals for their time at Peak House and their transition to community after the program. The students attend school in the morning four days a week and a weekly educational fieldtrip in art, community recreation or post-secondary exploration. The PRP also provides transition services by working collaboratively with the student, their family, and the multidisciplinary team, and liaises with and supports the community school and district to provide appropriate learning and support services.
Peak House accepts referrals from counsellors in the community. The involvement of the community alcohol and drug counsellor, whose role is providing an accurate assessment and referral, participating in treatment planning, providing follow-up counselling and assisting in aftercare planning, is essential. Due to the importance of 'service matching' clients to the appropriate resource, Peak House relies on the expertise of community service providers to make appropriate referrals to the program. Counsellors can access the referral package on the Peak House website (https://peakhouse.ca/)
Effective June 01, 2018: Referrals to the Peak House program are to be forwarded to Vancouver Coastal Health, Centralized Addictions Intake Team (CAIT). The team will be responsible for forwarding completed referrals to the admission committee.
Once a referral is accepted and a match in service assessed, the Peak House Intake & Assessment Counsellor will contact the young person's referring counsellor to estimate an approximate intake date and arrange to speak with the youth directly for a Pre-Intake appointment. During this conversation we will set-up a Pre-Intake time either in-person or over the phone (depending on where the young person lives).
The last two to three weeks at Peak House are dedicated to aftercare planning, ideally including family and professional supports to help facilitate a safe transition back into the young person's community. The referring counsellor receives the young person's After-Care Plan and uses it along with the completion letter from their Peak House Clinical Counsellor to guide post-program support and services. Once the young person leaves Peak House, they are encouraged to return for four aftercare therapy sessions. These sessions can be individual or family sessions and can be done in-person or over Skype. In addition to the aftercare sessions, staff are available for phone support and the youth may join a monthly alumni group meeting. Former residents are also invited to come back to Peak House to speak to current youth about their experiences.
The school program at Peak House offers post-program services. If appropriate, the school program can provide post-program weekly school service if the young person is living in the local area and are not attached to a community school. If the school transition plan is not established at their exit, the provincial resource teacher at Peak House can provide transition and consultation services to the youth, the family and their community school.

Tanzania has strong path to economic growth – IMF
by Newsroom Dec 16, 2017 0
THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lauded Tanzania for its cooperation with the Fund's managers and prudent measures adopted so far to substantially improve the country's economy.
Director General of Tanzania Information Services (MAELEZO) and Chief Government Spokesperson, Dr Hassan Abbasi told a press conference here yesterday when briefing reporters on the Fund's latest economic performance assessment of seven African countries.
"Our economy has been growing at an average of 6.8 per cent in the first half of 2017," he said. "This remains among higher rates in developing countries across the globe." Dr Abbas said the IMF has described Tanzania as a country "with a strong path to growth."
Other countries which were involved in the assessment include, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Rwanda, Uganda and Cape Verde. The IMF team was led by Mauricio Villafuerte and completed its assignment on December 12, this year.
He said the findings show that Tanzania's economy was strong compared to other countries under assessment that include Rwanda and Mozambique. He went on to note that Tanzania remained on track as it recorded significant progress in all sectors of the economy.
A recent World Bank report indicated that in the 2010s, Tanzania was among the fastest growing economies in the world, recording a single digit inflation of 4 per cent and a decline in interest rates to the lowest level in four decades.
"The 6.8 per cent economic growth rate was a huge mileage for our nation. This means we managed to beat other countries including those in Europe," Dr Abbasi said. IMF was equally surprised on how the country had managed to lower its inflation rate to 4.4 per cent down from the projections of 5 per cent.
But, he explained that such decline in inflation rate was augmented by a raise in agro crop production early this year, that subsequently reduced the price of food crops in the local market.

China threatens to ban Skype
By Molly McHugh	 December 30, 2010
The country has blocked sites like Facebook and YouTube (and of course famously struggled with Google), and now it looks like China will add Skype to the list of digital companies on its bad side. An article from the Shanghai Daily featured on the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology website reports that seeing as the service utilizes VoIP technology, it is illegal. According to the publication, the only Internet phone services allowed in the country are China Telecom and China Unicom. China is attempting to support only state-run and regulated telecommunication carriers, and Skype (not to mention Google Voice and MSN) is treading on this territory.
The measure has been met with criticism, as some argue it clearly results in complete Chinese control of the market. "It's ridiculous, VoIP is a popular technology worldwide" said Beijing University professor of posts and telecommunications Kan Kaili. He went on to say he doubts Skype will actually be banned.
From 2006 to 2008, China used this same strategy in order to promote the growth of its own VoIP companies. After allowing Western competition to re-enter the market after the two year ban, China is once again considering ridding itself of outside adversaries. Nothing's official yet, but the outlook isn't good. Skype stated that "Users in China currently can access Skype via Tom Online, our partner." UK publication The Telegraph claims that while uses in Shanghai are able to use Skype, Twitter shows that some Chinese residents have lost access to the service.
If the move to block Skype and similar sites succeeds, it could be incredibly damaging. China is easily the largest market for Internet phone service in the world, and it was announced yesterday that its number of Internet users rocketed to 450 million over 2010 – an increase of 20 percent from last year. Still, the regulations would only ban Skype from making calls from a computer to a landline, and PC-exclusive VoIP activity could still be available. It's possible that Skype's recent addition of video calling via iOS devices was the last straw with the Chinese government and motivation to reissue the nearly three year old ban. Whether or not it's permanent this time is another matter. Regulators may simply want to give homegrown businesses a chance to develop an answer to Skype's latest iPhone update.

Thank you bab! I appreciate it :) I don't think you need to improve anything about your blog, it's lovely.


Every other continent on the earth is plagued by Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), varroa mite (Varroa destructor) and a litany of associated bee diseases, while Australia remains CCD and varroa-free. Most Australians – in fact most people the world over – do not realise this. This is a situation that cannot last, and makes for a bittersweet acknowledgement of Australia's unique context. We live in a very significant historical moment for honey bees, a moment in time worth reflecting on and responding to. Because when this situation ends, Australian beekeeping – and honey – changes forever.

The Last Golden Age of Beekeeping?
If you want to help our bees out, now is the perfect time to become a backyard beekeeper. If you start beekeeping, you will be tending to some of the healthiest, and happiest, bee populations in the world. It also means that when the varroa mite does arrive, more beehives will be under management by loving beekeepers in backyards, who can take that extra time and effort to manage their hives and their bees through this challenge.
This is particularly important in the Australian context. Dr. Ken Walker, Senior Curator at the Melbourne Museum, notes that in the USA, for example, 70 percent of bees are kept domestically, and 30 percent are feral. This means the majority of bees are under management and undergo various management techniques and treatments for the mites. Every year, beekeepers learn new tricks, select hygienic (disease-resistant) queen bee stock, and – in some apiaries – survival rates of hives improve (in many apiaries, sadly, bee numbers continue to decline).
In Australia the opposite is the case – the bulk of our bees are feral. 70 percent of our bee population is wild stock. When varroa arrives, most Australian feral bees – bees that provide a lot of free pollination services for our farmers – will suffer greatly as a result of the diseases the mites carry and spread. And the fallout will have severe consequences for food production, food security, our economy and general wellbeing.
So, how do you get set up as a beekeeper? You can buy bees from an established beekeeper, or join a beekeeping club and put yourself on a list for a caught swarm. Or, if you're the DIY type and fancy a little hunting and gathering in the city streets, or on your mate's bush block – you can build a few swarm traps.

Swarming is the natural means of reproduction for honey bee colonies. Think of a honey bee colony as being both: a) lots of individual bees (say 30,000-100,000 sterile female worker bees, a couple of hundred male drones and one fertile queen) and b) a superorganism. The superorganism is all of these individuals – living cooperatively as one social intelligence – and their honeycomb infrastructure.
If you think of a bee colony in this manner, it then makes sense to say that the queen, as an individual bee, reproduces by laying eggs. And the bee colony, as a superorganism, reproduces by swarming. So, swarming is the natural means of reproduction for honey bee colonies. How? A new honey bee colony is formed when the queen bee leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees – the swarm. In the prime swarm, about 60 percent of the worker bees accompany the queen to the new location. This swarm can contain thousands to tens of thousands of bees. When it lands, it clusters into a ball and can range in size from a grapefruit to a basketball (or even bigger).
This cluster is at a temporary location, often only tens of metres from the original hive location – on a tree branch, under an eave, on a fence. The bees use this temporary base to take stock of their surrounds and scout out potential sites for the new, and permanent, home of the colony. This ball of bees is quite visible and is often caught by beekeepers – or destroyed by pest controllers.
How do the bees select a new home?
Scout bees head out from this temporary location to discover, and inspect, suitable permanent digs. If they find something of interest, they fly back to the colony and perform a 'waggle dance' on the surface of the swarm. This dance is a visual language seen by many of the worker bees and indicates the direction, and distance, of the potential new home (bees do a similar dance when communicating the location of food sources). Other scout bees that watch this dance then head off to have a look and, if they like the look of it, they return to the swarm and perform a similar dance. If they don't like it, they don't repeat the dance, and instead focus on locating or inspecting other sites. Many potential new homes are shortlisted, many dances are danced. The most suitable and popular sites (and dances) are repeated again and again and spread through the swarm like a viral marketing campaign. The shortlist gets smaller and smaller until one site – and its associated dance – is frenetically repeated all over the swarm surface. This is the critical mass; the tipping point. The energy levels pop and the swarm collectively decides it is time to fly off to its new home. This decision-making process usually takes a few days. This is dancing democracy, swarm intelligence,. the 'hive mind'.
The scout bees, it turns out, are actually very picky about suitable home sites. Bees display quite specific preferences for the characteristics of their new homes and, thanks to the good work by researchers such as Professor Thomas D. Seeley, we now know what those preferences are. By designing suitable homes for the bees, we can attract the scout bees. We can, perhaps, offer them an alternative to setting up shop in unsuitable sites – such as schools, or compost bins, or inaccessible double brick cavity walls – where the pest controller is often called upon to destroy the colony.
A simple DIY version of the 'ideal' swarm trap. Photo by Tom Ross/Brilliant Creek.
Swarm traps, or bait hives, attract bee swarms and can be used whenever swarms are expected – spring and early summer. The optimal volume of a swarm trap for Apis mellifera (the European honey bee) is between 14L and 40L (the size of a standard hive body). Larger swarms may prefer larger traps, smaller swarms prefer smaller traps.
An opening of approximately 3-5cm on the bottom of the hive is required as an entry. This hole can be crossed with two nails (or similar) to prevent entry by birds or small animals. The trap also needs similar-sized holes placed at the top of the structure to allow good ventilation. These should be covered in a mesh to stop other bees and insect pests entering (one entrance is easier to guard), and means there's only the one (bottom) entrance to block during transport or relocation.
Although bees may nest in a variety of situations they seem to orient themselves towards high locations. Therefore, choose high points on the terrain with ample shade (for example, groves of high trees, or a shaded spot on a roof, or under an eave) for your swarm trap site. Place your swarm trap on a post, stand, tree or building at least 2.5m high. Bait hives should always face away from prevailing winds but receive morning sunlight if possible. In the southern hemisphere, orienting the entrance to the east or north is preferable.
Professor Seeley's research indicated that bees weren't too fussy about the shape of the trap – a cube, a cylinder, a blob are all good. The volume, orientation, location and entry hole to the trap appeared to be stronger determinants as to the hive's suitability. This makes sense – in North Africa and parts of the Middle East traditional hives are horizontal cylinders. In Europe, hives were once logs – vertical and horizontal – then skeps (domes), then boxes. Bees will set up in various volumes.
A swarm trap needs a removable section (like a lid) to allow inspections and swarm removal. Some traps are large enough to accommodate a 'drawn down' (completed) honeycomb frame which acts as an attractant. If you're a bee, it smells great, and you can smell it from quite a distance. Comb appeals to the bees' innate preference for efficiency – it takes a great deal of honey (energy) and time to build comb from scratch – so why not find somewhere that already has some that's ready to go? Frames also make swarm relocation easy – you can simply transfer a frame from the trap to a hive.
But this isn't compulsory – or the only lure. A swarm can also be shaken, or brushed, from a trap and into to a beehive. And commercially available pheromone gels, that mimic queen bee pheromones, are sometimes irresistible to scout bees. The use of lemongrass essential oil (just a little smear inside the hive, or near the entrance) is very popular with natural beekeepers at the moment. Even the use of propolis as bait (propolis is a bee product made from plant materials, often referred to as 'bee glue') gets scout bees curious and warrants an investigation.

Become a beekeeper! Catch a swarm! But first, educate yourself and buy the appropriate equipment. Find a mentor, join a club, do a course, buy or borrow the right kit, read beekeeping books.
Note: These measurements are guides only. Remember that bees will make a home in variously sized volumes. Stay within the guidelines described in this article and adapt dimensions and techniques to your skill level, the availability of materials and your personal style.
If you can't cut materials to size, you can take these dimensions to a plywood supplier, or cabinet maker, who will do it for a fee. We encourage you to ask for offcuts – they may be cheaper to buy than whole sheets, and this project is perfect for extra bits and pieces that end up on the workshop floor.
If you want your trap to last more than a couple of seasons, it is a good idea to seal or paint it to limit warping. Use water-based, low VOC paints or sealants if possible and never paint inside a trap.

Do international organizations affect the views of the people who work for them? Although increasingly sophisticated methods have been used to address this question, disagreement persists about whether the beliefs of staff are formed before or after they enter the institution, or shaped by instrumental calculation. Drawing on an original dataset based on the first fully representative survey of the European Commission's workforce, this article breaks new ground by putting different definitions of 'supranationalism' to the test and by capturing multiple ways in which individuals may be affected by the experience of working for the organization. For the first time, it demonstrates that commitment to 'supranationalism' varies between Commission staff groupings, that the influences on belief vary with the measure of 'supranationalism' used, and that both post-recruitment experience and pre-recruitment roles play a part in shaping beliefs.

Yesterday evening when speaking with A-CNN reporter, Dees Astor, Donald Trump noted his sincere feelings of indebtedness to Pope Francis for his recent bump in the polls.
In light of the upcoming 2015 Synod on the Family, Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, has stated that it is quite possibly the Holy Father's will that the Synod fathers tackle the issue of a drafting a Constitution for the entire world.
"The Holy Father has said that it is not necessarily his idea, he is just throwing the whole thing out there. However, just because it is not his idea does not mean that there is not a right way about going about this entire project," said Father Lombardi.
As Father Lombardi stated, the Holy Father has intimated that he may agree with the concepts of separation of powers and checks and balances, but he is not actually saying that. Thus, it may be good for the Synod to divide the new world government into four branches, Executive, Legislative, Judicial and Clerical.
The neo-Catholic world is outraged over the stunning discovery of a hi-tech electric chair plot and its intended plan to spiritually jolt Pope Francis at the September 26-27 World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia. The discovery was made serendipitously by an FBI undercover agent working with local law enforcement officials on an unrelated risky sting operation.
What appeared at first to be a simple goodwill gesture on the part of the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center, a joint venture of guards, inmates and staff, was revealed by FBI agents to include an insurgent well-orchestrated plot designed to shock Pope Francis out of, what the conspirators believed to be, a Diabolical Disorientation and into a Sensus Catholicus.
Shortly after the election of the current Bishop of Rome, it became alarmingly apparent that a new Pontifical Council had to be instituted--The Pontifical Council for Damnum Imperium (Damage Control). Never before in the history of the Holy Roman Catholic Church has such a drastic measure been necessary. However, due to the Bishop of Rome's "off the cuff", spontaneous, "speak freely" style, the Roman Curia deemed it absolutely urgent to create a council whose sole mission is to re-interpret, sugar coat, disguise, explain away, minimize, and cover up in any way possible the confusing, misleading, baffling, disordered, perplexing, bewildering, destructive words, actions, gestures and every sort of behavior from the Supreme Pontiff.

What is Bitcoin and Crypto Currency?
Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency. In short, Bitcoin and other Crypto Currencies are digital coins you can send using the internet by means of technology called BlockChain. It can be considered as an alternative to "normal" money. Over the years many businesses have started to accept bitcoin as an acceptable currency and form of payment.
Crypto Currencies are considered assets hence Zakah must be paid on all holdings. There are numerous academic papers where prominent Ulema discuss the permissibility of Crypto Currencies. Most of these research papers deem them as halaal hence Zakah MUST be paid on their market value.
**All other conditions of Zakah (Nisaab, Haul etc) must also apply to be deemed necessary to be paid Zakah on.
** Zakah cannot be paid on unlawful gains.

A fixed rate mortgage provides guaranteed monthly payments for a predetermined period of time. Usually this period is for two, three or five years.
If you're the kind of person who likes certainty and the reassurance of knowing exactly what your monthly outgoings will be, then a fixed rate mortgage may be best for you.
Once the fixed time period expires your mortgage repayments switch to the mortgage lender's standard variable rate. This arrangement will enable you to more accurately forecast your budget during the early years of your mortgage term.
In addition, if the interest rate rises above the fixed rate that you are paying, you will actually save money. However, the reverse of this is also true. If the interest rate goes down whilst the fixed rate deal is in place, you will end up paying more.

Tribute to American portrait photography
By Amanda Arnold April 2019 issue
"Inspiration," by Tim Kelly
© Judy Host
Exhibition considers portraits past and present
More than 40 photographers' works were hung for the exhibition "Portraits Americana: A Brief Survey of American Portrait Photography." The show honoring American portrait photography was curated by Glenn Rand for the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art in St. Joseph, Missouri.
The exhibition, which ran from November 2018 through January 2019, included portraits by renowned photographers Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Gordon Parks, as well as contemporary portrait photographers Matika Wilbur, Judy Host, M.Photog.Cr., Tim Kelly, M.Photog.Cr., F-ASP, and Tim Meyer, M.Photog.Cr., CPP, among others (see full list below). It chronicled portrait photography from the start of the 20th century to the present, demonstrating a breadth and depth of styles from fine art and documentary portrait photography to glamour and studio portraits.
Rand notes that portrait photography has often been misunderstood by exhibition curators. "It is art and worthy of being in a museum," he says. For the exhibit, Rand staged the collection not by chronology but by idea. For example, "Tim Kelly's 'Inspiration' showed the imagination that I wanted to exhibit in the area of self-portraits," he says, "while Judy Host's work showed both how she used today's technology and [how she] engendered aspects of historical antecedences—in her image 'Josey: Homage to Alphonse Mucha.'"
The exhibition chronicled the history of both the fine art and commercial aspects of the American portrait experience, says Tim Meyer, M.Photog.Cr., CPP, whose work also was displayed. "It is rare to see these equally represented and respected in a museum and is perhaps the most complete approach to the subject I have seen."
Sixteen of the photographers will have their works become part of the permanent collection at the Albrecht-Kemper.

Nuair a thosaigh mé ar an bhlag seo a scríobh cúpla bliain ó shin, rinne mé cinneadh go scríobhfainn an chuid is mó de i mBéarla. Ní hé nach mbeinn ábalta an blag a chumadh i nGaeilge, ach tá an blag seo dírithe go príomha ar dhaoine a chreideann san amaidí a scríobh Daniel Cassidy ina leabhar How The Irish Invented Slang. Is Gael-Mheiriceánaigh formhór na ndaoine sin, nó daoine de bhunús Gaelach atá lonnaithe i dtíortha eile a bhfuil an Béarla i réim iontu. Is beag Gaeilgeoir arbh fhiú Gaeilgeoir a thabhairt air a chreidfeadh i leithéidí 'uí bhfolaíocht án' (an frása as a bhfuair an Béarla an focal high-falutin', dar le Cassidy.) Duine ar bith a bhfuil Gaeilge mhaith aige, thuigfeadh sé láithreach nach bhfuil sa leabhar seo ach bocamadán craiceáilte ag smaoineamh os ard.
Agus sin ráite, is mór an díol spéise caimiléireacht Cassidy do lucht labhartha na Gaeilge, agus is iomaí duine a bhfuil an teanga aige a chuir in aghaidh na raiméise seo, leithéidí Eoin Uí Mhurchú ar An Tuairisceoir. Mar sin de, sílim gur cheart dom an scéal is nua a roinnt libh sa teanga s'againne.
Fuair muid teachtaireacht ar na mallaibh ó dheirfiúr Cassidy. Bhí mé i gcónaí amhrasach faoi cháilíochtaí Daniel Cassidy mar gheall ar a olcas a bhí an leabhar ach chuir sé iontas an domhain orm nuair a chuala mé nach bhfuair Cassidy a chéim riamh ó Ollscoil Cornell. Chuaigh mé i dteagmháil leis an Chláraitheoir ag Cornell, agus dhearbhaigh sise nach bhfuair Daniel Cassidy céim ón choláiste sin riamh. De réir cosúlachta, ní raibh cáilíochtaí ar bith aige. Ní raibh céim, ná céim mháistir, ná dochtúireacht aige. Caimiléir a bhí ann, duine a bhain úsáid as calaois agus béal bán le daoine saonta a robáil agus le dallamullóg a chur ar amadáin.
Tá muid ag fanacht le tuilleadh eolais a fháil ó Ollscoil Columbia agus ó San Francisco State, mar a raibh Cassidy ag teagasc sular thosaigh sé a obair in New College of California. Coinnigí súil ar an bhlag seo! Tá rudaí ag éirí iontach spéisiúil!
This entry was posted in The Cassidy Scandal and tagged American slang comes from Gaelic, an Ghaeilge, An Tuairisceoir, Béarlagair ón Ghaeilge, Eoin Ó Murchú, Ollamh gan chéim, Ollscoil Cornell, Scannal Cassidy on March 29, 2015 by DebunkerOfCassidy.
Recently, we found out that the late 'Professor' Daniel Cassidy, a lecturer in Irish Studies at the now defunct New College of California and author of an appalling and almost completely fictional book called How The Irish Invented Slang did not have a degree from Cornell, as is currently claimed on his Wikipedia biography. His sister Susan tipped us off and the fact that he failed to graduate was then confirmed by the registrar at Cornell, Cassie Dembosky. Some sources claim that he had a degree from Columbia University and I have contacted the registrar there to see whether or not Cassidy gained any qualifications from them. As only a few sources even mention Columbia and the details are garbled, I doubt whether there is any substance to these claims either. (For example, on the Irish Crossroads Festival website it says that he had a degree from Columbia and a Master's in History from Cornell. It seems highly unlikely that Cornell would have given him a postgrad after he was kicked out of his undergrad studies there and most sources don't even mention Columbia.) His sister also says that it was his brother Michael who studied at Columbia, not Daniel Cassidy.
I have also contacted the registrar at San Francisco State, where it is claimed Cassidy taught before he was given his Professorship at New College of California. I will post any further news here as it arrives. However, while we're waiting for clarifications, it seems timely to anticipate some of the things that Cassidy's supporters might have to say about these revelations in relation to their hero.
Firstly, I'm not expecting any of them to say sorry or accept that they've made a mistake. Cassidy's supporters are far too arrogant and smug to apologise. Like Cassidy himself, most of these people seem to be of the opinion that they are incapable of making a mistake and that they know better than an ivory tower full of dons and experts.
I'm also sure that some of them will shrug and say that it doesn't matter. After all, some people thought that Cassidy was a great teacher and nobody realised that he didn't have the qualifications a professor is supposed to have. So where's the harm?
Well, it doesn't take a genius to work out where the harm is. Maybe Cassidy seemed competent but the book suggests he had no idea about methodology or genuine research. And even if he was very able and a great lecturer, so what? I believe in equality of opportunity. If a person meets the criteria for a job and has better experience and skills and qualifications than the other candidates, they should be given the post, regardless of their colour or sexual orientation or whether they have the approbation of the local Grand Poo-Bah of the Orange Order. When people lie about their qualifications, what right do they have to lecture others about ethical and decent behaviour?
After all, suppose that Cassidy earned a salary of 50,000 dollars a year at NCC for a period of twelve years as a professor. And let's assume that even in a badly-run and nepotistic outfit like NCC he wouldn't have been given a professorship with no qualifications. That's six hundred thousand dollars that went to Cassidy when it should have gone to someone with appropriate qualifications. This is a white-collar crime and didn't involve violence but is it really so much better in moral terms than walking into a bank with a fake gun and stealing sixty thousand dollars?
The law still calls it theft. In 2014, a Professor of Business Studies at Polk State called David Scott Broxterman, 55, was arrested and charged with grand theft over $100,000 and cheating. That figure was based on his earnings for the job for which he was unqualified. The State Attorney's Office said he submitted fake transcripts to Polk State claiming he earned a doctorate degree from the University of South Florida in 2007 and that he displayed a forged diploma in his office. Apparently the diploma was badly produced, with a signature from USF President Judy C. Genshaft that should have been Judy L. Genshaft, the wrong color and placement of the USF seal and the word "Board" misspelled "Baord." Broxterman was a popular teacher and had an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5 on the popular website ratemyprofessor.com.
The only real difference between Broxterman and Cassidy is that Cassidy got away with it for a lot longer. That, and the fact that Broxterman actually had some genuine qualifications!

This entry was posted in The Cassidy Scandal and tagged an Ghaeilge, St Patrick's Day Greetings on March 16, 2015 by DebunkerOfCassidy.
Recently, I received messages from Cassidy's sister in which she stated that Cassidy flunked his degree at Cornell. If this is the case, then it seems to suggest that Cassidy had no degree.
As I have said before, I cannot prove that this particular claim is true, but I think it certainly makes sense. There is a lack of any solid information in accounts of Cassidy's educational background. While it says on Wikipedia that he graduated from Cornell, in other interviews he simply talks about studying at Cornell. There is no indication anywhere of what level of degree he might have achieved, if any.
The fact is, knowing what I know about Cassidy, I consider the claim entirely credible. I have met plenty of narcissists like Cassidy and I know that someone like him, on realising that getting a good job required lying about his educational background, would immediately invent lots of justifications for committing such a fraud. I wudda had dat degree, only coicumstances was against me. I should really do dis, because dey need more Irish-American workin'-class stiffs like me. If I can geddaway wid dis, dat proves dat dese guys in academia are da real frauds. Dey should be thanking me! I can do good things for Irish-America if I can only get a break. I'm smart. I'll prove it once I get into da job! etc. etc. etc.
Hopefully, Cornell University will look at this question and let the world know officially whether Cassidy was a graduate. While we wait for corroborating evidence, all I can say is that there is a real question mark about whether Cassidy had any kind of academic qualification at all. I always thought that a primary degree was a poor basis for a professorship. Graduating from high school (assuming that he even did that!) is an even poorer basis for a chair. It might entitle him to a job as a janitor. But a professorship? Not a chance!

The word ballyhoo was originally carnival slang for the spiel which a showman used to get people to gather round his show. It is first recorded in this sense in the early twentieth century and around the same time, it is found in the more general sense of a ruckus or a hubbub.
Now, Cassidy (and Loretto Todd before him – one of the rare examples of a word which both of them claimed for Irish) claimed that this word comes from the Irish bailiú, which means gathering or collecting. There is nothing terribly improbable about this claim but neither is it a great fit. A ballyhoo is a loud thing full of razzamattazz. Bailiú is rattling a box for St Vincent de Paul outside of mass on a Sunday.
And then, of course, there is the little matter of alternative claims.
"At the close of the 18th century, there was a poor and plain Catholic Church about a mile from Ballyhooly but on the southern side of the river Blackwater. It was built on the side of a hill on the road to Rathcormac.
Apparently at least one person was killed when the riot spilled out onto the roadway outside. By the 1830s, to 'give someone Ballyhooly' meant to give someone hell, as in an 1837 story set in the west of Ireland in Tait's Edinburgh Magazine.
In other words, a shortening of Ballyhooly is a pretty good fit for the origin of ballyhoo – at least as good as bailiú, anyway.

Did Daniel Cassidy Have a University Degree?
Wow! For several years now, I have been posting regularly here, trying to convince people that Daniel Cassidy's insane theories about the Irish origins of American slang have no basis in fact. In the process, I have often questioned Cassidy's qualifications. According to Wikipedia, he had a degree from Cornell. He seems to have had no other qualifications. No Master's degree, no doctorate. Not even a diploma. However, I never doubted that he had a primary degree.
Danny was always an FOS person–he was older than he claimed, was a liar and a thief, and tore the family apart.
BTW, he did attend Cornell, but flunked out!
So, it looks as if the Cassidy scandal might be an even bigger scandal than I thought. We knew that Cassidy was guilty of egoism and misinformation and deception but if this is correct, then Cassidy was guilty of far more. Claiming to have an academic qualification to obtain employment is a serious criminal offence, and surely nobody would have employed him as an academic knowing that he had no academic qualifications at all! Several sources also mention Columbia, with one of them claiming that he graduated from that university, but as this is only one source, it seems unlikely.
To those who have followed cassidyslangscam with interest, watch this space. Things are starting to get very interesting!

Below is a little history about PACE West School and The PROWL Pantry. Thank you for volunteering and have fun!
PACE West School - PACE (Positive Attitude and Commitment to Education) West is a regional special education program providing services to students with serious emotional and behavior problems in grades 1-12. PACE West was opened in September 1994 to provide a second day school program for students with emotional disturbance in Prince William County.
Prowl Pantry: PROWL stands for Prepared, Responsible, Open-Minded and Willing to Learn
Club members sign up for Friday's when school is open. They assist with shopping for prizes from the PROWL Pantry located in the PACE West school's cafeteria to students who have earned points based on favorable behavior and academic performance. Each Friday when school is in session a member from our Gainesville-Haymarket Rotary Club and a member from the Dominion Woman's Club will be there during lunch to service the PROWL Pantry. On occasion members from other local clubs would come out to provide assistance. The Principal and other staff are also on hand to assist. The Principal generally calls out each student's name and tells each how many points they have. They have the option to use their points or bank them for the purchases of more expensive prizes. The Gainesville-Haymarket Rotary club is a proud member of the PACE's Village which is comprised of the local businesses and non-profit organizations to provide support to PACE West school. Linda Terri Aufmuth is our current representative at the PACE Village meetings.
