Minh Duong case: Vietnamese man awaiting medical treatment after neo-Nazi bashing is banned from Australia

Minh Duong was bashed on his way home from work in Melbourne in 2012. (7.30)

A Vietnamese man awaiting medical treatment after being bashed by Melbourne neo-Nazis is in limbo after being banned from Australia for three years.
In 2012, Minh Duong was punched and kicked by two men 70 times, stabbed, and had a brick smashed over his head with such force that the brick broke in two.
His front teeth were smashed out in the racial attack and he is still awaiting $25,000 worth of dental treatment.
Last week Mr Duong was forced to leave the country after immigration officials at Tullamarine airport flagged that his student visa had expired in March last year.
He disputes that, claiming to have written confirmation from the Immigration Department that his visa did not expire until March 2014.
But despite his claims, Mr Duong was forced to leave the country as an "unlawful non-citizen" and is now residing in Ho Chi Minh.
He has also been told by the Immigration Department that he is not allowed to return for three years.
A petition with 67,000 signatures demanding that Mr Duong be allowed back into Australia to receive medical treatment and graduate from university was delivered to Immigration Minister Scott Morrison on Thursday.
However, in a statement to 7.30, Mr Morrison's office maintained that Mr Duong departed Australia as an unlawful non-citizen since his last student visa had expired.
The statement said Mr Duong would be supported by the Australian embassy in Vietnam.
The Immigration Department also said that it was investigating the apparent contradiction between its records and Mr Duong's and that it takes instances of fraud seriously.
Community rallies around victim of horrific bashing
Adrian de Luca, a Melbourne musician fighting Mr Duong's cause, says Australia has a responsibility to the Vietnamese man.
"We have to take care of this young man," he said.
"He's an international guest - he's not a refugee, he's not come here illegally, he's not an illegal immigrant.
"Our citizens damaged him [and] our citizens should fix him."
Detective Acting Sergeant Kevin Burke, who investigated the bashing, wrote a letter to the Immigration Department outlining Mr Duong's injuries and asking the department to take the crime into account when making a decision.
"It's certainly one of the most shocking and serious assaults that I've attended in my time as a detective and certainly my time in the police force," he said.

Retirement plan consultants make a difference for plan participants and their beneficiaries. Happy and healthy employees make a measurable difference in the bottom-line of a company.
Fred Barstein, Founder and CEO of TPSU, Interviews Mr. Terry Dunger, an Enrolled Agent and Principal of Acuff and Associates, in Memphis, Tennessee. At the conclusion of a Fiduciary Education Program delivered by The Plan Sponsor University (TPSU) at The University of Memphis Mr. Barstein and Mr. Dunger discuss the differences in how a Plan Sponsor views a Retirement Plan compared with how a service provider views a plan sponsor client and their plan.


Freedom is not the natural state of man. There's always somebody looking to take it away. This is going on all over the world today; and no freedom is more at risk than that of free speech. Our country's founders enacted the First Amendment to protect it, along with freedom of religion and freedom of the press.
But our mother country, the United Kingdom, has no First Amendment. As you read this, British police are "investigating" a Catholic journalist for the newfangled pseudo-crime of "misgendering." For calling a man a man, despite his delusional claim to be a woman.
Just for the record, there is no such thing as a "transgender woman" who used to be a man. That person is still a man. No amount of surgery or hormones can make him a woman. But journalist Caroline Farrow, appearing on a TV talk show, made the mistake of referring to such a mythical creature as a man: she committed the crime of not saying something she knew wasn't true. So now the police say they'll arrest her unless she shows up at the station house for a "taped interview." And of course her whole family has been harassed and threatened since her story made the news.
"Indecent or grossly offensive." How is it indecent to call a biological male a man, just because he insists he's a woman? And grossly offensive to whom—besides the "transgender" Kool-Aid drinkers? "A threat." Well, she certainly didn't threaten anybody. "Information which is false." Good grief. The only thing that's false here is this man's claim to be a woman. What Mrs. Farrow did was speak the truth. As for reading the sender's mind, to determine what she believed or didn't believe, I simply don't know how they do that.
How come none of the British TV cop shows ever gets involved with cases of "misgendering"? Because if they ever tried to present such a case as a drama, the audience would mistake it for a comedy? Is this what anyone becomes a police officer for—so he or she can lock up someone who calls a man a man? Have they so little real crime to contend with, that they have time "investigate" such twaddle? How they can still respect themselves is beyond me.
How far back does this go—this campaign to wipe out freedom? How deep is the rot?
I think back to 1969, and a biology course I took at Rutgers. During the last two weeks of the semester, the faculty tried to convince us that the way to get paradise on earth was to give them and their political playmates absolute power to re-design human society into some kind of totalitarian ant-hill. They seemed dumbfounded when the students didn't buy it.
One student was moved to ask, "But what about our freedom and identity?" Ah—but the instructor was ready with an answer.
My whole class flunked the final exam. We would have been ashamed to pass it. The faculty upgraded all our F's to C's and moved us on, got us out of their hair: try again next semester, they decided.
That kind of progress, we don't need.

April has been a total whirlwind of good and bad, happy and sad. In the post I actually published today, I was totally honest when I explained how I have been feeling lately - I'm achy! Extremely achy, actually. And I've been dealing with quite a bit more fatigue than I was a few months ago. However, I was also honest in my post today when I said, despite the extra pain and fatigue, I'm really doing ok with it. I'm happy and excited for my wedding and I'm doing a really good job of making sure I rest enough to (at least hopefully!) prevent me from crashing any harder.
But I wasn't completely honest today about why I'm feeling extra achy and tired. Yes, I traveled a lot last week, and that has a lot to do with it. But I am also fairly certain that part of the extra trouble is from my incompletely treated RA. Which, actually, is another reason that I am ok with the extra pain and fatigue I've been experiencing - I know I'm going through it so that APL and I can achieve our dream of starting a family. And if that's not for a good cause, then I don't know what is!
I can feel a pretty major difference in my body since I started coming off my meds a few months ago.
Honestly, I was most surprised by the difference I felt when I stopped taking methotrexate. I stopped that one first - because it needs to be out of your system the longest before it is safe to get pregnant. Before stopping, I knew methotrexate was helping to prevent long-term damage of my joints, but I really didn't think that it was doing anything to help me feel better on a day-to-day basis. And I was wrong.
I remember when I first got diagnosed with RA, my rheumatologist had me only on methotrexate for about a month, and I remember feeling really frustrated that it wasn't helping me feel better at all. In fact, as we moved along and tried other drugs that did help me on a day-to-day basis (prednisone, Remicade, Enbrel,) I became increasingly annoyed about having to take the methotrexate at all, because I only noticed bad side effects from it - hair loss, tooth decay, potential liver damage requiring lab tests every couple of months, extra fatigue for a day or two after taking the dose, etc.
So when I came off the methotrexate I was actually quite surprised when I did notice a difference in my body. Almost immediately I felt just a tiny bit more achy for no apparent reason - like I had worked out a little too hard or not rested quite enough, but I hadn't actually done those things. Apparently the methotrexate had been doing something to help me on a day-to-day basis. Although I obviously haven't loved dealing with the extra pain and fatigue lately, I actually do appreciate knowing that the methotrexate really was helping me. I think I'll feel better about the drug when I finally start taking it again.
Before we decided we wanted to try to start a family after the wedding, I was depending on a bunch of meds to control my RA. Now every day that goes by I'm a little further away from the combined benefits those meds were giving me. Overall I would say, despite a little extra pain and fatigue, things are going pretty well with the process of stopping my meds (so far! knock on wood!).
The weirdest part for me has been a slight feeling of instability. (I'm not quite sure how to explain this, so please bear with me.) When I first got diagnosed with RA, aside from a lot of horrible pain and extreme fatigue, one of the worst things I had to deal with was instability - I felt like I had zero idea what my body was going to do next. I didn't know what I would have to deal with tomorrow, and dealing with that every day made me lose a lot of trust in my body.
Since that time it has been a massive up and down battle to try to re-gain some stability in my life and my body. For example, when I first went on the Remicade and it felt like it was working, I gained a little stability back, but then I lost it again when it turned out the Remicade wasn't working. Thankfully, I have steadily been re-gaining my stability since I started with Enbrel - which, believe it or not, was almost exactly two years ago! Getting to a point where my RA treatment was working and felt stable was really important for me, because - obviously in addition to the fact that I was physically feeling a lot better - it helped me to re-gain some trust in my body. While I never got to a point where I felt like I could control my body, at least I had reached a point where I felt like I knew what to expect, which was huge relief.
Since beginning the process of trying to get ready for pregnancy, I have definately lost some of the stability that I worked so hard to gain over the past few years. These days, I don't quite know what to expect. I'm not really sure how my body will continue to behave now that I'm off my meds. That's what I mean by a feeling of instability - I feel at least a little nervous and shaky all the time now, like anything could happen tomorrow.
However, it is definately a different type of instability than I felt when I first got diagnosed with RA. That instability came from a place of shock and fear and despair and denial over the loss of control of my own body. The instability I feel today is totally different because it is my choice. I was able to consider all the pros and cons before accepting this instability into my life and, with APL's help, I now have the tools to deal with it. This instability is an investment in the future of my family.
And let me tell you - that makes all the difference.
I know exactly what you are saying about the feeling of instability. I guess I could probably go on more meds to get that "under control," but then Little Miss came along.
See, the thing about the instability.... Once you have another life to worry about - a little person who depends on you 100% - that instability becomes less of a factor. You pick up and do what you have to do and you don't think about it.

New Evidence Suggests Presence of Water on Mars
There is a debate going on about whether there is water on Mars or not

UNITED STATES: An international team of scientists has discovered new evidence that suggests the Red Planet's south polar ice cap may contain liquid water.
The results, which used data rather than radar to make their case, offer the first conclusive proof that there is liquid water beneath Mars' south pole. They were published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
Researchers from the Universities of Cambridge and Sheffield used laser altimeter data from spacecraft to analyse the structure of the ice cap's upper surface and detect minute variations in the height of the ice cap.
After that, they showed how these patterns match up with computer simulations of how a body of water beneath the ice sheet might affect the surface.
Their findings relate to preliminary ice-penetrating radar readings that were thought to indicate potential locations of liquid water beneath the ice.
There has been debate over how to interpret the liquid water in each individual radar data set, and some research has suggested that the liquid water is not the cause of the radar signal.
Frances Butcher, the study's second author from the University of Sheffield, stated that the finding that two of the most important pieces of evidence for subglacial lakes on Earth have been found on Mars is a wonderful indication that there may be liquid water present on the Red Planet.
Even though it doesn't prove that life is present on Mars, Butcher argued that liquid water is an essential component of life.
The water beneath the South Pole may need to be extremely salty to be liquid at such low temperatures, according to the experts. Any microbiological life would find it impossible to live there because of this.
This, however, raises the possibility that livable conditions once existed when the climate was less harsh.

Dextrans and derivatized dextrans have beneficial physical properties as potential carriers in engineered-particle formulations. This technical article describes how amorphous dextran-10-based engineered powders enabled dry-powder formulations of a water-soluble active (albuterol sulfate). Covalent modification of the dextran backbone extended this formulation approach to the manufacture of a water-insoluble active (fluticasone propionate).

Away with the fairies
There's a hide not far from the canal – private land being developed as a mini nature reserve, with tree planting and a small pond. We regularly see badgers, foxes, rabbits, buzzards and garden birds there, having permission to visit as we please! The badgers are the main attraction, because they generally aren't easy to spot other places. However, the hide owners tend to put down peanuts to attract them. Last night, there were no nuts. A lone badger of the dozen or so from the set came round to check, and that was the end of the matter. Still, seeing one badger is a joy, and we also had an encounter with a huge, unidentified moth.
We were just getting up to leave when Tom spotted lights amongst the trees. We all saw them – a cluster of small lights that could only be seen from one angle, and that all went off at once. It was nearly dark by then. The nature area does not adjoin any gardens, ruling out fairy lights, solar lights, anything gardenish – there's a thick hedge and a grass walkway and another hedge between what we could see and the nearest garden.
There were glow bugs in the area, but we haven't seen any in weeks now. There is a guy who studies moths, we pondered moth traps. Much work went in to looking for a perfectly rational explanation for what all three of us had seen. Increasingly aware that none of us were entirely at ease with the rational explanations, I eventually got round to saying 'could have been fairies.'
It's an interesting one for me. I'm a druid and a pagan, I believe in the idea of magic and otherworldliness, but at the same time I pride myself on being a rationally minded creature, willing to consider the evidence as dispassionately as I can. I'll always look for the banal explanation first, rather than seeing everything in terms of gods, hobgoblins, aliens, Atlanteans etc etc. But there are times when the sense of wonder, the feeling of encountering something numinous is too strong for the rational explanation.
The last time this happened to me I was in Portland with Tom, and we both saw a tiny little whirlwind spinning leaves around. It was so small, so localised, the rest of the air so still that whatever the logical explanation might have been, the sense of seeing something otherworldly was powerful indeed.
Often it's about the language we use. Thunder and earthquakes have perfectly sensible explanations, we know what they are, and yet at the same time the power of them, and other regular, natural and universally recognised phenomena is breathtaking. Spirit and science do not need to be at odds here. It may be tempting to call things we don't understand 'magic' but there's no reason not to recognise the known as magical, too. That first rainfall after days of dry heat. A full moon haloed by mist. There's no reason for the experience of magic to be irrational.
We saw something last night. We don't know what it was. Any speculation is just that, no version any more evidenced than any other, despite our best efforts. Of course I want to know what I saw, but for me, that knowledge would in no way reduce the feeling of wonder, awe and delight that the moment inspired.

Guest Blog: Water Fairies
By Nukiuk
Cool grey and green lichen covered stones surround the small pool which reflects the sky above, a small slash disturbs the crystal clear waters and a coin drifts down to join hundreds of others, each representing some wish, each a desire. For hundreds, even thousands of years people have cast votives into this well as an exchange to aid in their hopes. Such wells dot the Celtic landscape, and are perhaps some of the last remnants of the first religion of the Celtic lands.
Down the hill a ways the river bends and flowing water saturates the ground allowing the trees to grow a little thicker as they seem to stretch just a little ways out into the farms. Once these trees would have been decorated with cloth in the spring, offerings for the fairies of the water which lived within the river. For water fairies were the most important of all fairies among the Celts according to Briggs. Such fairies granted wishes and fertility, they aided in the growth of crops and kept people safe for thousands of years. When Julius Caesar was planning to invade the Celts he received reports that they primarily worshipped water fairies. Further among the Irish Danu, the mother goddess of the Tuatha De Dannan was associated with rivers. Among the Gauls Deo Matrona who was associated with the river Marne was the "Mother Goddess."
It should come as no surprise then that Arthur's greatest sword, the one which would not only help him keep his kingdom in tact but which also would not break was given to him by a water fairy. It was after all the water fairies which were people's protection and comfort. In one tale a woman is forced to flee her home as she was tormented by horned witches. Eventually she collapses, weeping beside a well. It is here by the water that a voice speaks to her giving her the knowledge of how to rid her home of her tormentors. Such stories are typical of water fairies, which, being shy beings tend to avoid being seen by humans. Even so they do sometimes appear, most often in the form of an animal.
The Grimm Brother's fairy tale of "Little Brier Rose" begins with a Queen and King who want a child and water fairy who grants them that wish.
"One day while the queen was sitting in her bath, a crab crept out of the water onto the ground and said, "Your wish will soon be fulfilled, and you will bring a daughter into the world." And that is what happened."
There are two pieces of knowledge we gain from the water fairy in the tale of "Little Brier Rose;" the first is that such fairies often take on animal form. In the Scottish fairy tale of "Gold-Tree and Silver-Tree" the water fairy which acts as an oracle appears as a trout. Other fee's and water fairies appear in the form of giant eels. As I argued in "Water Spirits as Fairies" the tales of the Loch Ness Monster likely come from the tales of water fairies in eel/serpent form. Indeed the first written encounter with one of these creatures is of a Christian Missionary trying to banish it, not as a physical being but as a spiritual one.
The continuation of this tradition in "Brier Rose" with the appearance of the crab shows us that water fairies were important to people up into the 19th Century. Indeed in the other version of Sleeping Beauty the King and Queen actively go out to the sacred wells in order to gain a child.
The fact that the water fairy gave the King and Queen of "Sleeping Beauty" a child is interesting because water fairies can to some extent see the future. In other words the water fairy in the story of sleeping beauty was the only active being in the story, she was the one who set the story into motion, so it was she who could be said to be the author of the tale. The water fairy was most likely assigned this role in the story not just because she was the provider of fertility, but because fairies are lovers of art and beauty. Sometimes this means that humans, and the story of humanity are their art.
There are a few important things to bear in mind about water fairies, first is that they are lovers of the journey of the state betwixt and between one and another. In one tale a Welsh farmer falls in love with a water fairy and offers her some cooked bread but she claims it's too hard, so he offers her some dough and she says it's not done enough so he offers her some half cooked bread and she accepts this gift.
One must keep this in mind both when giving gifts too and receiving wisdom from water fairies, because while they seek to aid humans they never give a full answer, the picture they give humans is unclear so that the humans will have to take the journey on their own. It is only through the journey after all that a person is able to gain true knowledge and appreciation. This is the realm of water fairies to provide both knowledge and fertility.
As with all things done by the fairy in Celtic tradition continuing to work with water fairies wasn't always so simple. They are after all enigmatic creatures, for they will providing water to drink and aid in the growing of fields but will also bring floods. This is why people worked so hard to develop and maintain a relationship with water fairies. Often travelling in procession every spring to the sacred waters, singing and praising it. Further they offered the water fairies gifts, most often of cloth but also of more valuable goods, for a relationship with water fairies as with all fairies is one built upon a bond which humans must foster.

No. It's temporary. If you stop wearing the lenses regularly while you sleep, your vision will return to its original state in as little as 72 hours.
Not everyone can wear Paragon CRT. This lens is designed for individuals with low to moderate myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism (up to –1.75 diopters). Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses are not yet available in bifocal prescriptions for presbyopia (which requires reading glasses or bifocals). Depending on your needs, you may be fitted in a monovision mode (one eye corrected for near vision and one corrected for distance vision). You might still need reading glasses. However, since there are variations in patient physiology and visual needs, the decision for CRT, at any age, can only be made after a thorough eye exam. At this time, hyperopia (farsightedness) is not correctable with CRT.
The FDA placed no age restrictions on candidates for Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT. CRT is being successfully performed on children 12 years old and younger. It can be a great option for children and teens that are active in sports activities or any other extra curricular activities.
Will I still need a "Visual Restriction" on my driver's license?
We will supply you with a document that states you are participating in a visual therapy program that eliminates the need for corrective lenses during working hours. The document should have an expiration date and you should have your driver's license updated with a new vision screening through your local DMV office to reflect this change, before the expiration date.
I suffer from "Dry Eyes", Can I have CRT?
Probably, but we can only determine this through a thorough eye examination. Many patients with dry eyes do well with CRT. Since you are wearing the lenses only while sleeping, the closed eye state minimizes evaporative loss of tears and can give dry-eye patients suitable vision without compromising the ocular surface.
A child's vision changes. Is CRT appropriate for children and teenagers?

Lightfoot ready for leadership role regardless of his place in KU's rotation
Posted by Matt Tait
July 11, 2018 at 9:38 a.m.
Kansas forward Mitch Lightfoot by Nick Krug
As he enters his third season with the Kansas basketball program, up a few pounds and dozens of memorable moments, KU forward Mitch Lightfoot heads out on an interesting adventure.
As arguably the most naturally gifted leader in the program — from the standpoint of energy, action and experience — Lightfoot will be leaned on a lot during the coming months to help KU's young roster learn the way things are done at Kansas while also providing a voice of accountability and direction along the way.
Having an upperclassman in that role is key for the 2018-19 Jayhawks, who are tasked with having to replace one of the best leaders in program history in Devonte' Graham, a fixture on the roster for the past four seasons who showed leadership tendencies even as a true freshman.
While others will be asked to carry some of the leadership load — point guards Charlie Moore and Devon Dotson come to mind because of the position they play, as does Quentin Grimes because of his status as arguably the most talented player in KU's backcourt — few will have the advantage that Lightfoot has, carrying two full seasons and three offseasons of knowledge and wisdom from the leaders who came before him.
"I think those guys have done such a great job of showing me what it means to be a leader and what it means to care for your teammates and your coaches and organization so I'm just trying to be like them," Lightfoot said of Graham, Frank Mason III and others like them. "I'm excited for it, just learning from the previous leaders here — Landen (Lucas), Frank, D-Tae, Svi. I just kind of feel like I've had some pretty cool role models to learn from and I'm excited to kind of show the younger guys what they've taught me."
There are ways, of course, that, try as he might, Lightfoot simply cannot replicate what the Grahams and Masons of the world brought to the table.
For starters, they play completely different positions. Beyond that, those past leaders played huge roles and were vital to the every-night success of the team and Lightfoot figures to carry on as a key role player instead of lead dog.
That's if he plays at all. Because KU's roster, for the first time in a few years, is so loaded in the front court, fighting his way to playing time could be tough regardless of Lightfoot's advantage in the experience department. And while programs of all kinds benefit from off-the-court, behind-the-scenes, in-the-weight-room types of leaders, there often is no substitute for a leader who plays a key role and is always in the thick of the action.
While he will compete for playing time and give everything he has to earn it, how many minutes Lightfoot plays is ultimately out of his control. Beyond that, if the rest of the KU big men elevate their games to a level that's close to their ceilings, Lightfoot could face the possibility of red-shirting the 2018-19 season, which would make it even tougher for him to be the kind of leader this team needs while potentially being the best move for Lightfoot's career longterm.
Regardless of how it all plays out over the next couple of months, Lightfoot will have a role on this team and, whether he red-shirts or not, his experience, confidence and commitment to the program will put him in a terrific position to set good examples for KU's newcomers.
Asked recently what specifics he appreciated most about the leadership provided by guys like Graham, Mason and Mykhahiluk, Lightfoot pointed to mindset and attitude much more than anything specifically related to basketball.
"I think you have to take the role that they left for you to take," Lightfoot said. "How they carried themselves, on and off the court, on campus, being grateful for the opportunity, being grateful to your fans, just honoring what it means to be at Kansas. It's just something special that they've done for this university and I'm going to try to replicate it. There's a lot of leadership to be had and hopefully I'll start helping these young guys out."
Lightfoot figures to have leadership help up front in the from junior center Udoka Azubuike, who, after testing the NBA waters, is looking to expand his game in all areas, as well as from Memphis transfer Dedric Lawson, who hits the court with plenty of college experience but, to this point in his career, has been more of a lead-by-example type of player.
Last month, Lawson told the Journal-World that he liked the idea of being a veteran on a young team and thought he could step into a leadership role if needed.
"I'm a guy that might not say a lot of things to you," Lawson said. "But I just think if I do the right things and be that good role model that guys need as an example others will follow. If coach wants me to talk more, I will, get on guys and things of that nature. I'm looking forward to it."
Earlier this summer, after a team workout at Bill Self basketball camp, KU assistant coach Norm Roberts said the coaching staff was counting on Azubuike stepping up as a leader, as well.
"We want Udoka to be more vocal," Roberts said. "He's one of our veteran guys. He's been out there in the wars and we're going to need him to do that for us."
To that end, Lightfoot, ever the team player, said he had been impressed by what he had seen from Azubuike so far this offseason.
"He's been doing such a great job of being more vocal and talking throughout practice," Lightfoot said. "I feel like Jayhawk Nation doesn't get to see that side of him, but he helped Silvio (De Sousa) out so much last year. Same as me. He taught Silvio so much and that was great for Dok's confidence.
"I know he loves it here. He loves the fans, he loves the community and I feel like each one of us on the team has a good connection to Dok because he's a little bit farther away from home than most of us. We are his family out here and we're just excited to have him back. Obviously, he's a monster and he's going to bring stuff to the table that most people can't bring."
If leadership is one of them, Azubuike could be one of the most dynamic and visible big men in a KU uniform since Thomas Robinson.
But even if it's not, the Jayhawks know, whether he's playing big minutes or not playing at all, they can count on Lightfoot to be their rock when it comes to leading the way.
Craig Carson 1 year ago
If DeSousa plays, Lightfoot will see a hug reduction in minutes but if SD is held out (which he should be until he has been fully cleared again) he should see solid minutes as Lawsons backup
Henry Joseph Hofmeister 1 year ago
i don't know about that. mitch knows all the set plays for position. desousa is still pretty raw. self might not have to use him like he was forced to last year.
Shannon Gustafson 1 year ago
Forced or not, he was statistically our best big at the end of the year (pts/min and reb/min among other stats).
Dirk Medema 1 year ago
It is interesting that Mitch recognizes the leadership provided by Lucas but you seemed to ignore it in the discussion Matt.
It would seem to me that Mitch will be every the leader Landon was and more. The team apparently recognized and appreciated it more than those outside the circle.
the guy has played his role without complaining. a bonafide leader when it comes to knowing a couple systems self has run now. if his knowledge improved like he says his body did then he should step up and take a starting spot by force. not at center, let him play his natural position.
Noel Backwards 1 year ago
Unfortunately, that starting 4 spot next year has been locked up since the Lawson brothers decided to come here last summer. I got to watch Dedric Lawson play at Memphis and he was the real deal. That was before he developed the outside game he has reportedly added to his arsenal. He has conference POY potential and I don't think Mitch would be able to take his spot by force. I like Mitch too, so I think a redshirt season would be smart to let some of this depth move on and he can slide in to a Landen Lucas role for a couple years with Dotson and Garrett as his Mason and Graham.

What is Subrogation And How Does It Work?
The insurance industry is notorious for many reasons, perhaps none more so than trying to confuse customers with language that few people understand. The ironic thing is, courts have ordered companies to make the language of an insurance contract readable to a 3rd grader. There aren't that many adults, let alone 3rd graders, who are going to completely understand the words and meaning of these contracts.
One word in particular that many people are unfamiliar with is subrogation. What does this word mean exactly, and why is it used in insurance contracts?
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of subrogation is, "the assumption of a third party (such as a creditor or an insurance company) of another's legal right to collect debt or damages." In other words, subrogation is the act of letting someone else (an insurance company) go after and collect damages that you are legally obligated for.
Why would anyone give up their right to collect money owed to them for a debt or damages incurred? Well, it's all part of the structure of an insurance contract.
Subrogation is a part of the legal structure of an insurance contract. For example, the liability aspect of a contract states that the company will defend the insured in court for damages incurred to another person, for which the insured is legally held liable. In other words, you don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses for any damages that you are held responsible, or liable for, in return for your premiums paid, all up to the policy limits.
This is a pretty good trade-off! All you need to do is pay your auto premiums, and the company will pay everything else on your behalf (of course, just up to the policy limits).
So, the insurance company will defend you in court, pick an attorney, and reach a settlement on your behalf and pay the settlement amount, all up to the policy limits (and even beyond, in some cases). That is pretty good stuff! By the way, all of this is a big reason why you want to make sure you have high liability limits.
As part of this right that the insurance company has, per the contract, they also are assuming the right to collect any money they pay out on your behalf. This is subrogation. If subrogation was not a part of an insurance contract, then the insurance company would have paid on your behalf but would not be able to legally collect that money from the responsible party. Furthermore, you would be allowed to collect twice on a claim, because the insurance company would pay you, and then you could demand payment from the responsible payment.
Subrogation prevents these scenarios from happening. It mainly just gives the legal right to collect from the party that paid, in this case, the insurance company.
Let's look at a few examples to see how subrogation actually works when there's an auto claim.
Let's say that Jane gets in an auto accident with Bob, who rear-ended her. Her car is totaled. On a basic level, Bob is responsible for Jane's damages because the accident was his fault. But Bob doesn't pay Jane directly, they file a claim and Jane receives money from Bob's insurance company.
What if Jane is really mad at Bob and wants him to pay her directly? That would be illegal, because Jane gave up her right to recover her damages to the insurance company, aka subrogation. Jane must accept the payment for her damages from Bob's insurance company.
Staying with Jane and Bob, now let's say that Jane didn't want to wait for payment for her vehicle from Bob's insurance company. She filed a claim under her own insurance and they paid her $20,000. But remember, Bob was at-fault for the accident and is responsible. In this case, Jane's insurance company will collect the money they gave Jane from Bob's insurance company. This is another form of subrogation because Jane's insurance company won't go directly after Bob, they will go after Bob's insurance company to get their money.
Let's look at one more example. Now, let's assume that Bob has no insurance. He is now 100% responsible for Jane's damages. Can Jane just collect her money directly from him? Or demand that he pays her monthly payments until it's fully paid off? No, she cannot do this.
Jane's insurance company will give her the money for her damages, assuming she has Uninsured Motorists coverage. Then, her company will subrogate against Bob for the full amount and reach a settlement with him.
While there are many complicated parts of insurance coverages, subrogation shouldn't be one of them. It is a big word, but the meaning behind it is pretty straightforward. Since you are letting the company pay out damages on your behalf, you are also giving up your own right to collect damages owed to you.
Whether you owe money or are owed money, the insurance company will take care of both situations. Subrogation is just the legal term that describes this.
At the very least, you have now learned a new word that you can impress your family with at the dinner table!


JDC-Miller MotorSports will field a pair of Cadillac DPi-V.Rs in next year's IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
The move comes a week after IMSA's announcement to separate DPi and LMP2 into separate classes in 2019, and ensures that the team will be competing for overall wins. JDC-Miller currently campaigns two ORECA-Gibson 07 LMP2 cars in the conjoined Prototype category, and recently won the six-hour race at Watkins Glen.
Church also confirmed that driver Stephen Simpson would be staying with the team in 2019.
JDC-Miller plans to take delivery of its first Dallara-built Cadillac in September, with the goal of beginning initial testing in early November following the conclusion of this year's championship.
"We worked very hard to get to this point and I could not be more proud of my partner John Church and everyone in our group and company who has contributed to our success," added John Miller, partner of JDC-Miller MotorSports.


Coleshill and Quorn had never played each other, at First Team level, until last season and so this is only Quorn's second ever visit to Pack Meadow.
Quorn where transferred to the Midland Alliance last season from the United Counties League after a reshuffle by the FA to even out the numbers in the regions Level 5 leagues. Formed in 1924, Quorn have been in the Alliance previously, 2001 to 2007 but, after finishing third, they were promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One South in another FA reorganisation. After four seasons at that level they were relegated back to Level 5 in 2011. They list Luke Varney (Crewe, Charlton Athletic) and Dion Dublin (Norwich, Man United, Coventry) among their ex-players.
Scorers: Dean Rathbone 2, Simeon Cobourne, Shane Benjamin, Matt Brown, Chris Lloyd.

Can you bring peace to the chessboard by placing eight queens onto the board but prevent them from capturing each other? In this online puzzle game you will be given a standard chessboard, and the 8 queens will be placed on the right of the board. According to the rules of chess, a queen can capture another piece on the same line in vertical, horizontal or diagonal direction. You can click and drag the pieces and place them onto the board, but note that they cannot be removed after settling. A queen cannot be placed if it is on a capturing line of another queen on the board. The number of queens you have put and the amount of time spent are recorded on the left of the screen. When no more moves can be made, the game ends. Conquer the queens and win their allegiance! Have Fun!
Do you think it is fun to play chess puzzles, and do you also like to play a free online game? If you are in the same mood as us today, you probably would like to play our free Eight Queens game online right now.
Use your mouse to place the queens on the chess board.
The Queen is the most powerful piece in the game of chess, able to move any number of squares vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Each player starts the game with one queen, placed in the middle of the first rank next to the king. Because of the value of a queen, it is sometimes used as bait to lure an opponent into a trap by a queen sacrifice, as in a Fool's mate. Another tactic is to use the queen to threaten the opponent's queen, to either retreat or make a "queen trade" (losing both of them) to reduce the game to less-powerful pieces. The queen is often used in conjunction with another piece, such as teamed with a bishop or rook, where the pieces could guard each other while threatening the opponent pieces.

Our team of professionals have proven over the years, that with the necessary experience, highly skilled staff and a great understanding of the area, we can deliver the professional wood floor repairs service.
Accidents happen, but they can also be fixed. This is where our repair of engineered wood flooring service comes handy.
Engineered wood flooring comes in two standard nowadays – up to 15 mm and over 15 mm of thickness. The 14/15 mm standard is 90% click system, which unfortunately can't be locally repaired. The floors would need to come out, up to the point of damage and fit back to the walls. This is due to the desing of the click system planks, which can only hold each other through it.
All engineered flooring with over 15 mm thickness of the plank, as a standard comes as tongue and groove planks. This type of system allows local replacement of planks and in case of an accident or minor leak, replacement of a number of planks is possible without affecting the rest of the flooring.
This is all possible when exact the match of additional the flooring is available. As a wood floor specialists we do pride in recognising many of the product on the marker, but not all. Therefore we will always rely on our client's effort for sourcing spare flooring for the repairs prior to engaging ourselves with that.
The work can become more complicated if your engineered flooring is glued-down, not every fitter will feel comfortable and take such jobs. But all our fitters are perfectly trained to provide you with the service.
Even though engineered floors are designed for the DIY market, we do not recommend repairing it yourself, you may end up damaging more than repairing and that will double the costs.

Prince Harry stunned by kiss from fan in Sydney
hellomagazine.com Prince Harry offered a female admirer the chance to kiss him on the cheek, but the young woman smooched him on the lips.
Prince Harry is used to having tons of female admirers, but one surely shocked him on Thursday by kissing him while he was greeting crowds at the Sydney Opera House. The royal noticed university student Victoria McRae's sign that read, "Marry me, last chance, Harry," so he approached the 21-year-old.
When the Prince told Victoria that he would have to get back to her on the proposal, she asked for a kiss instead. "He let me kiss him on the cheek but then I went in for it. The rest was history," she excitedly told reporters. "It was everything. I'm very happy. I reminded him it was the third (proposal)."

Victoria had previously attempted to propose to Prince Harry two years ago, by paddling her kayak into the middle of Sydney harbor waving a flag that said "I (heart) U Harry", along with her phone number. She was quickly removed by the city's water police.
Harry, who was treated like a teen idol, arrived by boat to the Opera House just before 12:30 pm on Thursday, dressed in his army fatigues and a beret. He was greeted by a large crowd of around 2,000 people, including a group of school children who got to speak directly to the Prince.
One seven-year-old schoolgirl decided to ask Harry, "What is good and bad about being a prince?"

"He said that the bad news was that he didn't live in a castle," the girl, named Destiny, told the Telegraph, with her friend later revealing that the prince said the good bit was "he doesn't always have to wear a crown."
Harry's appearance at the Opera House was his final public appearance in Australia for his month-long secondment with the Australian army. On Saturday, he will embark on a week-long tour of New Zealand, before returning home where he will meet his brand new baby niece, Princess Charlotte, for the very first time.

On Wednesday, Prince William and Kate Middleton, traveled from Kensington Palace to Anmer Hall, with Princess Charlotte and her big brother Prince George. Harry was asked about the new arrival to the royal family during his appearance in Sydney, and told well-wishers that the baby princess was "great."

Ma Long, fondly referred to by some of his fans as the dictator due to how long he stayed #1 in the world table tennis rankings, is one of the world's sports G.O.A.T.s. He has won just about everything there is to win in the sport, including a double grand slam. He is also older than most others in his sport. But what has brought him this far, and where did it all start for him? The 34-year-old has roots in Anshan, Liaoning, China, from where the legend has grown into a hero for China and table tennis lovers worldwide. Here's most of what you'd need to know about the two-time Olympic singles gold medalist.
Ma Long
The Dictator, The Dragon
Anshan, Liaoning, China
Shandong Weiqiao, China National Team
Shakehand grip
Ma Long is easily one of the current generation's most highly decorated table tennis players and is even considered by some the greatest of all time. In an era of sports greats like Kipchoge Keino, the Marathon runner, and Lionel Messi, the "football" or "soccer" player depending on where you're from, he stands among the best of the best. His story begins on 20th October 1988. Though there isn't much information about him in his younger years, he burst onto the national table tennis world scene in 2003 at 15.
His first major achievement was the singles at the world junior championships. However, he wouldn't perform as well in single events for quite a while. Instead, he racked up wins in teams and doubles events. One example is the Jeju Asian Championship, where he was part of the team that took the gold.
There's also the Bremen World Championship, where he took the teams' gold in 2006, and the Hong Kong World tour, where he got gold in the doubles the same year. Of course, during this period, there were several silver and bronze medals.
He would start getting into his element near the end of the decade with a few gold medals in the 2007-2009 period. However, his singles career really took off in the 2010-2012 period and was highlighted by 51 consecutive wins.
Over the next few years, he would climb up the ranks, and although he's currently 3rd on the I.T.T.F. World Rankings, there were a few years when no one could knock him off 1st place. His reluctance to let go of first place may have been one reason he was aptly nicknamed "the dictator."
One of his other nicknames was "the dragon," although that may have been due to his name "Long," meaning dragon in his native language.
He's also had a few rivals in his time, including Wang Hao, who retired shortly after being beaten by him in 2014. There's also Zhang Jike, who got his first grand slam much sooner than Ma Long in his career. That said, in a somewhat poetic fashion, now that he's 34 and nearing the end of his career, he is also rivals with one of his juniors, Fan Zhendong, who currently ranks 1st in the world I.T.T.F. player ratings.
While he may have lost the top spot in world rankings, he's intent on not retiring any time soon. He may even make it to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
As mentioned above, Ma Long made waves in team and doubles events long before he broke into the singles scene. Some of his first senior accolades came in the form of gold at both the German and Kuwait opens in 2007. Between 2007 and 2009, he got mixed results, even exiting early at the 2007 Zagreb World Championships.
He eventually started to maintain some form leading up to the 2012 Olympics but ultimately did not make the cut for the singles team. He did, however, participate in the team competition, adding to his list of medals.
Between 2015 and 2019, he added three World Championships to his name. He has also won at least one of almost every singles title there is, alongside team and doubles accolades as well. His five successive I.T.T.F. wins are particularly impressive.
However, even more, impressive is his double grand slam. Of course, if you're familiar with table tennis awards, you know a grand slam is a combination of gold in the Olympics singles, World Championship singles, and World Cup singles. By the time he got his first grand slam, he was only the fifth to ever do it.
There have also been some major scares along the way. For instance, in the period after the 2018 Olympics, he suffered a horrific knee injury but was fortunate enough to be back in action about a year later.
Ma Long Equipment
Over the years, Ma long has switched up equipment quite a few times. In the 2012 period, for instance, he was using a DHS PG-7 blade with a DHS NEO Hurricane 3 as the forehand rubber. The backhand rubber was a Butterfly Tenergy 05, which also came to be among Fan Zhengdong's favorites.
While there are many things young table tennis players can emulate from Ma Long, the rubbers should be a choice they settle on to match their playing style and needs. Additionally, paddle technology has changed a lot since 2012.
As such, if you're wondering which options are considered the best table tennis rubbers in the modern era, you may want to review our list of the same. That said, the Butterfly Tenergy 05 Table Tennis Rubber has certainly withstood the test of time, with recent reviews noting it holds up well against even some of the newer options.
Ma Long's forehand option for the 2012 period was the D.H.S. Hurricane 3 N.E.O. rubber, another option that plays well to date if reviews are to be believed.
In 2014 Ma Long used the same rubbers but switched to the Hurricane Long 5, which served him well. The Hurricane Long 5 Ping Pong Blade has served plenty of other players well despite coming with dedicated rubbers. For those who get this option, they're free to upgrade the rubbers to what Ma Long used when the first set wears out.
In 2016 Long again switched blades to something custom-made specifically for him.
Ma Long Playing Style
Ma Long's playing style is a little less straightforward than most of his counterparts, with the player often using trickery and his brains to quash opponents. His footwork and backhand from further away may not be anything to write home about. However, he can easily use what he is good at to have opponents on the back foot.
His forehand, for instance, is exceptional, and he'll initiate fast, fierce attacks that barely allow the opponent to counterattack. Also, in his playing arsenal is a powerful counterattack close to mid-table.
Additionally, despite not being exceptionally good, his backhand can be a significant threat if he is closer to the table. It may even end games for opponents who are not careful.
Some of Ma Long's common attacks include a power looping backspin ball using his forehand, half-long balls, forehand counter looping, etc. In the multiple Ma Long vs Fan Zhengdong battles, the latter, despite being higher rated, has fallen quite a few times to Ma Long's attacks allowing Ma to maintain a fairly significant lead in their rivalry.
Ma also holds his paddles in a shakehand grip. While the shakehand grip has been great for Ma Long's career, it's not for everyone. There are also the penhold and seemiller grips, and if you want to know how to hold a ping pong paddle, we've got a guide for you.
Ultimately, people choose how they hold their paddles based on what's most comfortable and what fits their playing style, and for Ma, the shakehand grip was the perfect fit.
Ma Long Olympic History
Ma Long in the Olympics has been an absolute asset for his country. His first major achievement was as part of the men's team in 2012, but it was only a launch pad for the following two Olympics.
In the 2016 Rio Olympics, which had 11,384 athletes according to Forbes, Long stood tall among his ping pong peers, getting gold in the singles. He also assisted the Chinese men's team get the gold in the team event.
Ma Long extended his stellar record in the 2020 Olympics, which was delayed due to global health concerns but eventually took place in 2021.
Honors and Achievements
Ma Long's overall Honors and achievements, including bronze and silver medals, are too many to list since 2003; however, his more notable accolades include:
Three Asian Junior Championships
Seven I.T.T.F. World Tour Grand Finals gold
Five singles and teams gold medals combined
Three All China Table Tennis Championships
Nine World Cup Winner's medals
Three National games of China gold medals
Net Worth and Income
Ma long's $20 million net worth estimate shows that his long, illustrious career has not been for nothing, and he's racked up a significant amount of wealth. Some of this wealth is from tournament prizes, with some being as high as several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There are also various sponsorship and endorsement deals. The W968 blade he used in 2016 is an example of one of his sponsorship deals, as it was custom-made by D.H.S. He's also endorsed by Nittaku, a ping pong apparel brand.
Although there is a Facebook fan account, Ma Long is inactive on Social Media, and even the latest posts on his fan Facebook page are several years old. As such, anyone looking to reach him would need to find another way.
Ma Long is married, having wed his wife Xia Lu in 2017. The couple also has a son.
Who is better, Ma Long or Fan Zhendong?
While Ma has won most of the matches between the two, the jury is still out. Zhendong ranks as the world's 1st in the I.T.T.F. rankings and is much younger than Ma. Consequently, the scales may tip soon in his favor.
Is Ma Long retired?
Despite being fairly advanced in age, Ma Long is not and does not plan to retire any time soon.
With Ma Long, there's certainly a case for him being the greatest table tennis player of all time. His accolades speak for themselves, including the double grand slam. Also, despite getting older, he shows no signs of stopping. Perhaps he aims at setting a record that no one else can beat. For now, he's out of the top spot in world rankings, having paved the way for Fan Zhendong. However, Fan still has a long way to go to match Ma Long's achievements. One thing is for sure; table tennis lovers should be grateful they get a few more years of watching Ma Long play.

In the event that TEKOS.CO or a third party payment processor is unable to bill the credit card on file or you request that TEKOS.CO not bill the credit card, you shall be solely responsible for any renewal payment required. In the event that payment is not made, Service Components may become unavailable to you and TEKOS.CO may terminate this Agreement without notice to you.
If any charges are rejected by your credit card issuer then TEKOS.CO may deactivate your account until payment is successfully received. TEKOS.CO may deactivate any account that has a disputed charge until TEKOS.CO, in its sole discretion, determines the dispute resolved.
You must provide TEKOS.CO notice of any billing problems or disputes within sixty (60) days after they first appear on the statement you receive from your bank, credit card company, or other billing company. Failure to notify TEKOS.CO of the problem within the sixty (60) day period will result in your acceptance of the charges and you waive the right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges. TEKOS.CO does not provide any refunds for any Service Components.
