So when the charming Miss Hyacinth chooses her to take home, the girl is pleased but baffled, until it becomes clear that she's needed to help stage elaborate seances for bereaved patrons. As Maud is drawn deeper into the deception, playing her role as a "secret child," she is torn between her need to please and her growing conscience -- until a shocking betrayal shows just how heartless her so-called guardians are.

Grateful for Grants that Give Back
February 4, 2022 /in Uncategorized/by Paula Love

One of the greatest privileges for RFPMatch is that we can locate grants and make it possible for any person to apply to the funding they need. When individuals, school systems, organizations, educators, and others receive funding that makes their dreams possible, we are reminded of why we do what we do.
This month, we want to highlight a partner of ours, Nick Carlucci. Nick is one of many who searched for funding to promote research, education, and so much more for his students. Not only was he searching for funding, but he found it! RFPMatch is honored to celebrate and highlight the stories of successful grant applications that lead to new opportunities and funding. Nick is one of many who are extremely grateful for all that grants can do.
Chesapeake Bay Foundation Grant
Nick was made aware of an incredible grant opportunity through a company called Chespax. Chespax partnered with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to restore the rockfish population in the bay. Nick, being an elementary school teacher at the time, got the brilliant idea of applying to this grant and using it as a teaching opportunity for his students. His hopes were that the grant would support the Chesapeake watershed curriculum, that students would experience a hands-on field trip, and that the kids would be able to contribute positively to their environment.
The Rockfish Restoration grant provided a funding opportunity of 4,000 dollars. Additionally, the grant winner would large saltwater tanks to raise the rockfish from eggs. After the fish were large enough, the grant then funded the opportunity to release the fish back into the Chesapeake Bay.
After the application was submitted, Nick heard the news that every grant applicant wishes to hear: Nick and his students won the Rockfish Restoration grant. Immediately, the school received the resources to raise the fish. After they were grown, Huntingtown Elementary went on a fieldtrip to release the fish into the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The total amount of fish released was 3,000!
Gratefulness is an Understatement
Any teacher who loves their job and students will tell you that one of the best daily takeaways is seeing a kid learn something new while also having fun. Nick reported that, from start to finish, winning this grant was a great experience for all. He and his students were beyond grateful to receive the grant. Additionally, they were grateful to make a difference in the environment of a local watershed, grateful to learn new things about their local marine life, and to create wonderful memories for all.
Our Hope
Our hope here at RFPMatch is that we would be a resource for you to find the funding you need to reach your goals and meet your needs. When we get the opportunity to help people by locating grants, it is us who are grateful to be a part of your journey.

> Millman too strong for Tomic in Challenger final
Millman too strong for Tomic in Challenger final
In an all-Australian final at the ATP Challenger in Aix-en-Provence, France, John Millman allowed Bernard Tomic just three games in a commanding triumph.
Aix-en-Provence, France, 14 May 2018 | Darren Walton (AAP)
John Millman has earned himself a career-high ranking with a crushing victory over Bernard Tomic in the all-Australian final of the Open du Pays d'Aix Challenger event in Provence.
Top-seeded Millman will climb 12 spots to world No.58 after downing Tomic 6-1 6-2 to claim the $200,000 clay-court title in the south of France.
Rain delayed the final and forced the match indoors to a hard court, but Millman made up for lost time by sweeping aside his fellow Queenslander in just 48 minutes.
"That doesn't normally happen but, due to the weather, they had to," Millman told AAP after crunching nine aces and breaking Tomic's serve four times.
"Obviously it was important to get a good start due to the change of conditions. It was important to serve well indoors and back myself from the back of the court."
A finalist at last month's Hungarian Open, Millman's success continues his impressive form ahead of the French Open starting in two weeks.
"Very happy with the preparations for Roland Garros," Millman said.
"I wanted to come to Europe early to give myself the best chance going into the tournament and I'm really happy with how I'm playing."
The 29-year-old will continue his build-up this week as top seed at another Challenger event in Heilbronn, Germany.
"Even though it's not easy to get to," Millman said.
"There are strikes with the trains in France and flights are a nightmare so we are driving nine hours tomorrow."
Millman's victory was also his first over Tomic, who had to settle for a rankings leap of 52 places back to the world's top 200 after winning four consecutive clay-court matches for the first time to reach the final.
Tomic had been winless since Australian Open qualifying in January and had to survive multiple match points and battle back from 5-2 down in the deciding set of his tournament opener against 2016 French Open junior champion Geoffrey Blancaneaux.
The 2011 Wimbledon quarterfinalist will head to Paris for French Open qualifying next week with renewed confidence on his least preferred surface.
"For me, it was a good week," Tomic said.
"First round I should have lost, but I gave myself a chance and I played maybe my best clay-court tournament so, for me, it was really solid.
"I play Roland Garros. My focus is there, so I'll try my best to be ready."

Wonderful, relaxing, quiet stay. Our room was clean and spacious enough for two. The deck outside was perfect for having a late night drink among the palms in comfortable Adirondack chairs.

An exquisitely written, very moving—and very surprising!—novel about an American woman moss botanist in the 1880s. Hardback.
Readers, Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and other fine books, has written a new—and truly remarkable—novel about a prosperous family of Philadelphia botanists in the heydey of plant exploration, the 1800s. I have never read a more horticulturally based novel, and rarely such an intelligent and exquisitely written one. I can only get you started here with the beginning of the very first chapter—and hope it hooks you. (In respect of all our readers, I should note that the novel does include open depictions of one woman's sexuality.) Alma Whitaker, the novel's main character, is born in the prologue. The first section, as you'll see, is about her father, Henry.
For the first five years of her life, Alma Whittaker was indeed a mere passenger in the world—as we all are passengers in such early youth—and so her story was not yet noble, nor was it particularly interesting, beyond the fact that this homely toddler passed her days without illness or incident, surrounded by a degree of wealth nearly unknown in the America of that time, even within elegant Philadelphia. How her father came to be in possession of such great wealth is a story worth telling here, while we wait for the girl to grow up and catch our interest again. For it was no more common in 1800 than it has ever been for a poor-born and nearly illiterate man to become the richest inhabitant of his city, and so the means by which Henry Whittaker prospered are indeed interesting—although perhaps not noble, as he himself would have been the first to confess.
Henry Whittaker was born in 1760 in the village of Richmond, just up the Thames from London. He was the youngest son of poor parents who had a few too many children already. He was raised in two small rooms with a floor of beaten earth, with an almost adequate roof, with a meal on the hearth nearly every day, with a mother who did not drink and a father who did not beat his family—by comparison to many families of the day, in other words, a nearly genteel existence. His mother even had a private spot of dirt behind the house in which to grow larkspurs and lupines, decoratively, like a lady. But Henry was not fooled by larkspurs and lupines. He grew up sleeping one wall away from the pigs, and there was not a moment in his life when poverty did not humiliate him.

I am trying to configure a RAID 0 array for my new ASUS P4C800 DELUXE - UAY Motherboard.
I have two (2) new Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 160GB SATA 6Y160MO hard drives connected to Serial Connectors SATA1 and SATA2, as shown in Paragraph 3. at the top of page 2-23 of the P4C800 User Guide.
The only other devices I have hooked up to the P4C800 now are a new TEAC Floppy drive (which is shown as being detected in the BIOS Setup Utility Main Screen as "Legacy Diskette A [1.44M, 3.5 in.]") and a new Plextor PlexWriter CD-R, which I have hooked up as the Secondary IDE Master, and which is shown as being detected in the BIOS Setup Utility Main Screen as "[Plextor CD-R Pre]".
I followed steps 1., 2. and 3. on page 5-28 of the User Guide to create a RAID 0 array using the two (2) Maxtor HDDs.
As indicated in step 4., when I rebooted, the MBFastTrack378 BIOS indicated that the array was functional.
the array as a single hard drive.
The User Guide does NOT give any indication how to get to FDISK !!!!!!!
I cannot find any key to use from within the ASUS FastBuild Utility to get to FDISK, and I do not know how I can stop the boot sequence to get into DOS, to use FDISK. Also, since there is no operating system installed yet on the Maxtors, how exactly can I get into DOS, so I could then get to FDISK ?
I then tried to install the W2000 Advanced Server OS without having first used FDISK. I changed the boot drive sequence to boot from the PlexWriter CD-R. I restarted and booted with the W2000 Advanced Server CD already in the PlexWriter CD-R drive. I thought I could try to use F10 when it got to the Welcome Screen, to get into the Recovery Console, so I could format and partition the Maxtors from there.
However, once Setup had detected my configuration and had loaded all the W2000 drivers, I got a message stating that no hard drives were detected, so Setup could not continue. Also, the computer emitted a continuous high-pitched scream while this message was displayed.
I then changed the boot sequence back to the default settings: Floppy first; array second; and, PlexWriter CD-R third. Thus, the Boot Device Priority Screen of the BIOS Setup Utility indicates the "1st Boot Device" as "[1st Floppy Drive]", the "2nd Boot Device" as "[FT 378 Ary 1]", and the "3rd Boot Device" as "[SM-Plextor CD-R]".
I think that "[FT 378 Ary 1]" must be the RAID 0 array, so the BIOS seems to know that there are two (2) HDDs installed (otherwise, it would not detect the array).
Currently, the Main Screen of the BIOS Setup Utility indicates that both the Primary IDE Master is "[Not Detected]" and the Secondary IDE Master is "[Not Detected]".
The Main Screen does NOT indicate anywhere that there is a RAID 0 array.
1. Exactly how can I get to FDISK, so that I can I format and partition the Maxtors as one RAID 0 array (but I thought the BIOS already knows there is one RAID 0 array, so why do I have to do the partitioning through the BIOS, rather than through the Windows 2000 Advanced Server Setup?) ?
2. If I manage to format and partition the Maxtors as one RAID 0 array using FDISK, will the BIOS and Windows 2000 Advanced Server detect that there is a "hard drive" or hard drives installed, so the W2000 Advanced Server Setup will then continue ?
Please respond with advice as soon as possible.
Sounds a bit like the instructions aren't very good to be honest with you. The SATA RAID array should appear as a single disk to the OS.
As you correctly worked out, FDISK is a DOS program, which would require you to boot the system into DOS using a boot floppy or something similar.
However, the Windows 2000 CD you were using does not know how to talk to the array, and hence can't see any hard disks. Normally, there is something like a driver disk (or files you can copy to a floppy disk) that can be used during the start up of the Win2K install. There will be a prompt (F6 I think) to allow you to load additional drivers from a floppy disk, so that the setup program can locate your hard disks. If you have not done this step, the setup program will fail to see the array!
Hi Marc, maybe I can help. Sounds like you created the array correctly, but if you don't press F6 as soon as you boot from the win2k cd you won't be able to specify the promise raid drivers from the floppy, and consequently win2k won't detect the array because it doesn't know how to talk to the promise chip on the mobo. I did something similar with my board, except I was providing the wrong drivers to windows and it would of course say that no hard drives were detected just like your scenario. You need to download the promise ata RAID drivers from the Asus site. Unzip that file and use the included "makedisk" utility. That will create the floppy with the raid drivers. Then you can boot from the win2k cd, hit F6 when prompted. Setup will keep loading files for a bit, then stop and ask if you want to specify additional drivers. Hit S and then insert the floppy and hit enter. Select the windows 2000 promise drivers and hit enter. Once you have done that you can let setup continue, and it should detect your array once it finished loading files. At that point you can use setup to make partitions and format the array. There's no need to boot from a floppy into dos and run FDISK. As to why your cdrom drive is no longer detected - your ide settings look correct, so I would try resetting the cmos to default settings and see if it shows up again. I had something similar happen once and my settings looked correct, so I finally cleared the cmos and started over again, and that worked.
Do any of these look right to you? I also have the P4C800 manual sections relating to the Promise and VIA SATA drivers and setup, if you would like to see them. I am going to re-read them, again and again! Let me know at ABow344@hotmail.com. Thanks for your support!
Yes, that is one of the files I got, and I already used the MAKEDISK.exe utility to put it on a floppy. I shall try it now (after checking the BIOS to make sure it is 1008 or higher), and I'll let you know how it turns out.
Well, we have to go back to the drawing board, I'm afraid.
When W2k setup commenced, I hit F6 when prompted, then I loaded the driver you mentioned above, I proceeded with Setup, and when I got to the Welcome screen, I hit the option to setup W2k, and immediately got the message that no hard disks had been detected. This despite the fact that every time I boot up, the RAID 0 array is detected as "Functional"! Go figure!
I also tried the same procedure with the SATA drivers I got from the ASUS CD, using MAKEDISK, but they didn't work either.
I'm sure there's some really simple and obvious solution that I'm missing!
Can I copy FDISK onto a floppy from one of my other computers, and then boot the ASUS computer with the FDISK floppy in the drive, so the ASUS goes directly to FDISK rather than completing the boot sequence?
Thanks again for your support and suggestions!
Sorry I did not post sooner, but we have had some severe thunderstorms this past week, that knocked out my cable internet access. It is now restored.
The advice that the Asus tech support people gave me, specified in the paragraph immediately below, almost worked flawlessly.
From the 378RAID folder on the Asus CD, I made a floppy, by using Send To (not MAKEDISK.EXE). There were only two (2) files and one folder that needed to be copied. The two (2) files are: fasttx2k (this will not show a file extension, but it is a .sys file); and, txtsetup.oem. The one folder is the W2000 folder.
I then changed the boot sequence so the CD drive was first. I inserted the Windows 2000 Pro CD and rebooted. I booted from the CD, and the blue W2k Setup screen appeared. I pressed F6, and setup went on, until a screen message appeared, and giving me the option to install other drivers. I pressed S, and then another message appeared, telling me to put in my floppy with drivers.
I did so, and hit Enter. The two files and a folder were copied to my C: drive, after I hit the option to install the "Promise Fasttrak 378 (tm) Controller".
Here is where there was a slight deviation from what the Asus tech support people had told me (that the floppy made using the procedure above was the only one I needed). Setup continued fine, until all of a sudden, another message popped up, telling me to insert the "Manufacturer's Driver Disk", or something like that, into the floppy drive.
I did not have any such floppy, so I went back to the 378RAID folder on the Asus CD, and took a chance on activating MAKEDISK.EXE function in the folder, to make a whole new floppy. I inserted the new floppy I had just made with MAKEDISK, hit Enter, and Setup completed successfully.
Paragraph 5. on page 5-28 of the Asus P4C800 Deluxe User Manual, should be eliminated, and a new Paragraph 5. should be inserted, outlining the procedure noted above, and emphasizing that all Promise drivers must be entered manually (using only the procedure noted above), using the floppies created as above.
It should be clearly noted that the Promise drivers cannot be installed in any other manner, or they just won't let the OS recognize any HDD they control. I tried to install a new Promise SX4000 controller in another computer, and I did not use Setup to load the drivers (as noted above). I used the Autorun function of the Asus CD to install the drivers, as you would normally install software. The HDDs working off the SX4000 were not recognized until I re-installed the Promise drivers using the procedure I noted above.
I should also state that the second floppy (made with MAKEDISK) was only required on the initial boot up. However, the first floppy (with the two files and a folder) is required each time you use the Setup (for example, to repair a corrupted copy of the W2k Pro OS) noted above. Why the second floppy was never required after the initial boot up I don't know, but it is not important.
The Asus tech support people were excellent, and ever called me back personally after a few days, to make sure that my problem was solved.

Professor from the best university in Brazil visits VGTU for meetings with students and VGTU community.
Professor of Auditing and Coordinator of International Relations Joshua Onome Imoniana from the University of São Paulo, Brazil, visited Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU). The University of São Paulo is the best higher education institution in Brazil. According to the QS international ranking it ranks at the 120th place. In addition to teaching, the professor consults SMEs on audit and control of information systems, he also works as an accountant at the Institute of Public Accountants in Australia. The visit was held under the Erasmus+ international mobility programme.
Prof. Joshua Onome Imoniana read lectures on accounting and auditing to students at VGTU's Faculty of Business Management, participated in "Quality with Coffee" seminars and shared the best practice on quality of studies with the faculty's community.
On 22 February, the Professor visited VGTU's International Relations Office to share his insights from the lectures at VGTU and discussed the details of Erasmus+ international mobility programme and the partnership agreement between VGTU and the University of São Paulo. Under this partnership agreement, in the autumn semester of 2016/2017, VGTU's 4th year student Lukas Keraitis from the Faculty of Creative Industries visited São Carlos School of Engineering (EESC) at the University of São Paulo under exchange programme; lecturers Justas Nugaras from the Faculty of Creative Industries and Mindaugas Samoška from the Faculty of Business Management read lectures and participated in meetings with representatives from the University of São Paulo. Apart from this agreement, VGTU has several other inter-institutional partnership agreements in Latin America with universities in Chile, Salvador, Columbia, Uruguay and Peru.


Our kids' memory didn't fail them. First night arriving in any beach town means traditional visit to the beach at sunset. We pulled into San Clemente around 6:30 pm, stopped off at Pedro's Tacos for our 3 rolled tacos with guac and cheese then hurried to the beach to catch the sunset. It was beautiful and the water was like a luke warm bath. Wonderful start to the week.
Our studio apartment that we are renting for the first four days is clean, cozy and looks like a picture right out of house beautiful. We all slept peacefully and are ready to hit the beach today. Bring on the surf, sand and sun!
I'm starting my 5 days worth of blog catch up, and as much as I'd like to concentrate on this "night" post....I see the picture in the previous post, staring at me. Milk chocolate. Oreos. I have to scroll down.


It is not an hyphen at "–task" and this is messing the the parsing of the command-line. This is a common error, it happened to me when copying examples from the internet (the unicode encoding is messed somehow, and what you copy is not what you see), and if you look around here you will find several posts where the problem was ultimatelly the same, e.g. Help with custom database of a genera and count of hits (NGS, 454) and Indexing reference genome for GATK.
I believe the "line 537" refers to BLAST sources, not your input file.
Unfortunately this doesn't solve it. Usually you get a 'didn't recognise flag' type error when you copy the wrong hyphen in also.
Did you correct the other instances (–max_hsps and –strand)?
Yes, when I copy something in I correct them all as a matter of course.
You may try a binary search on your input file, spliting it in halves until you find the offending sequence.
BLAST options error: err:tried to set option (130) and value (1), line (537).
I think this is actually because it was pointing to an incorrect database.

China Arrests Student Leader for Celebrating Mao Zedong's Birthday
Fri, Dec 28 2018 Fri, Dec 28 2018 People's Review Foreign Affairs
The Chinese state security arrested a student leader of Peking University for attempting to celebrate the 125th birth anniversary of Chinese communist leader and the founder of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong, inside the university campus on 26 December. Qiu Zhanxuan, head of Peking University's Marxist Society was forced into a black car by a group of seven to eight men who identified as 'public security department' officials.
Under Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Chinese Communist Party has started building a cult of individual and despite paying occasional lip service to the late founder of the People's Republic of China and the leader of the Chinese Revolution, Mao Zedong, the party has recently officially distanced itself from celebrating any legacy of the leader fearing a public sentiment rising in favour of socialism and thereby fuelling a massive unrest against the unbridled capitalist exploitation, inequality and oppression the majority of the people are subjected to.
Students of Peking University, whose alumni played important roles during the country's first phase of Cultural Revolution against capitalist-roaders within the Chinese Communist Party in 1960s and another attempt at dethroning the capitalist-roader Deng Xiaoping and his sycophants in 1989, are always on the radar of the Chinese rulers who want to suppress each expression of socialist revolution within the country where they have provided a free reign to big corporations, foreign and domestic, to plunder the resources and labour.
Qiu Zhanxuan has been playing a vanguard role along with other students of the Peking University in building up labour movements throughout the country against the opportunist pro-capitalist CPC leadership. The Jasic Workers Solidarity group rose to prominence this summer when student activists from Peking University backed its efforts to form a workers' union at Jasic Technology, a welding machinery company in southern Guangdong province.
Soon after the Jasic Workers Solidarity movement started, the Chinese state cracked it down violently, arresting several Chinese students and workers at the behest of the big capitalists of China and foreign countries. The crackdown on the Peking University students by the Chinese state drew worldwide criticism from the revolutionary communists and the students have been receiving solidarity support from all over the world. By November 2018, the Chinese state has suppressed much of the working class movement and arrested many student and worker activists. However, the working class' struggle for socialism, equality and liberation spread to many other places. A lot of Chinese poor, revolutionary communists and student activists reached Mao Zedong's hometown on the occasion of his 125th birth anniversary, defying the Chinese state and its repressive arms.
The arrest of Qiu Zhanxuan and other student leaders before him is stirring a countrywide resistance movement against the onslaught on communist forces by the capitalist-roader CPC leadership, who are the lackeys of Chinese comprador-bureaucratic capitalism and foreign imperialism. The workers of different factories where the left-wing students are working as organisers have expressed their solidarity with Qiu Zhanxuan and the students of the Peking University are demanding that the Chinese state immediately and unconditionally release Qiu Zhanxuan and all other Chinese communist organisers.
The new movements are not yet as fierce as the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, when the students and youth, by forging a strong alliance with the Chinese soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, then headed by Mao's close associate Lin Biao, fought a prolonged ideological and organisational battle against the capitalist roader, foreign agents like Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping and toppled them to restore socialism. Their militant struggle on behalf of Mao Zedong, known as the Red Guard Movement, brought a worldwide storm of people's resistance against imperialism and its ally, revisionism. The Marxist study circles that are now popping up in different campuses, exhibit the people's anger against the Dengist leadership and their corporate bootlicking, which is translated into small attempts at building up struggles.
When these small struggles, influenced by the legacy of Mao Zedong, whom Xi Jinping is trying to overshadow using his own cult, will form a bigger chain, it will gain an organised form and will be streamlined against the coterie of capitalist roaders and comprador-bureaucratic capitalists of China who have been selling off the country's resources and manpower to the big foreign monopoly and finance capital since 1978. Such a massive, organised revolutionary movement will be able to overthrow the juggernaut of the utmost opportunist and pro-imperialist Chinese emperors of the CPC and re-establish a socialist China that the late Chinese leader Mao Zedong and millions of communists fought for.

"They Are Mostly All Foreigners on Strike": Joseph Fish Speaks on the 1919 Steel Strike
"They Are Mostly All Foreigners on Strike": Joseph Fish Speaks on the 1919 Steel Strike
In the dramatic 1919 steel strike, 350,000 workers walked off their jobs and crippled the industry. The U.S. Senate Committee on Education and Labor set out to investigate the strike while it was still in progress. In his testimony before the committee, Homestead, Pennsylvania, steelworker Joseph Fish described conditions in the steel mills as good and maintained that only "one or two" Americans have joined the strike.
Senator MCKELLAR. What is your name?
Mr. FISH. Joseph Fish.
Senator MCKELLAR. Are you a native American?
Mr. FISH. Yes.
Senator MCKELLAR. How many Americans are there out on strike?
Mr. FISH. Well, none that I know of, and only one that I heard of.
Senator MCKELLAR. Only one?
Mr. FISH. One or two.
Senator MCKELLAR. What percentage of the fellows out on strike are foreigners, do you know?
Mr. FISH. Well, they are mostly all foreigners on strike.
Senator MCKELLAR. What is your position here.
Mr. FISH. Foreman.
Senator MCKELLAR. How much do you make a day?
Mr. FISH. In the neighborhood of $600 a month.
Senator MCKELLAR. Are you satisfied?
Mr. FISH. Yes, sir.
Senator MCKELLAR. Conditions are good, are they?
Senator MCKELLAR. And your home conditions, are they good?
Senator MCKELLAR. And all of the conditions of the men are good?
Senator MCKELLAR. Do you know what these boys are on strike for?
Mr. FISH. No, sir.
Senator MCKELLAR. Did they ever ask you to join the union?

Nano-sized NiFe2O4 powders were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion method using pH values from 7 to 9 in the sol. The effect of pH variations on complexing behavior of the species in the sol has been explained. Changes in phase constituents, microstructure and magnetic properties by changes in pH values were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. Changes in pH value from 7 to 9 changes the amounts of NiFe2O4, FeNi3 and α-Fe2O3 phases. Calculated mean crystallite sizes are in the range of 44 to 51nm. FESEM micrographs revealed that increasing the pH value to 9 causes formation of coarse particles with higher crystallinity. Saturation magnetization was increased from 36.96emu/g to 39.35emu/g by increasing pH value from 7 to 8 which is the result of increased FeNi3 content. Using higher pH values in the sol reduces the Ms value.

A look at donor disclosure requirements for electioneering communications
By Jerrick Adams
In Newsletters
As the year gets underway, and lawmakers nationwide take up bills on donor disclosure, let's take a closer look at a particular policy area: donor disclosure requirements for groups that sponsor electioneering communications.
Broadly speaking, an electioneering communication is any broadcast, cable, or satellite transmission that refers to a clearly identified candidate within a specified time period preceding a primary or general election. Although electioneering communications refer to a specific candidate, they do not explicitly advocate for that candidate's election or defeat. This makes an electioneering communication a form of issue advocacy.
Individuals, corporations, labor unions, and nonprofit groups can produce electioneering communications. Generally, the policies regulating the use of electioneering communications vary from state to state (although federal laws apply to electioneering communications used in federal elections).
The first map below indicates which states require entities making electioneering communications to disclose the names of their donors to the public. States shaded in dark green require general disclosure of all donors to a sponsor group. States shaded in light green require disclosure only of those donors whose contributions were earmarked for electioneering purposes. Twenty-two states require groups issuing electioneering communications to make some form of disclosure.
The second map below indicates which states exempt 501(c)(3) groups from these disclosure requirements. States shaded in dark green provide a 501(c)(3) exemption. States shaded in gray do not. Six states provide explicit disclosure exemptions for at least some types of 501(c)(3) groups.

Maine professor asks Supreme Court to strike down exclusive representation requirement
On Jan. 2, 2020, a professor at the University of Maine filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting that it overturn a Maine law compelling public-sector employees to accept a union's representation regardless of their membership status with that union (i.e., exclusive representation).
Who are the parties to the suit? The plaintiff is Jonathan Reisman, an associate professor of economics and public policy at the University of Maine at Machias. He is being represented by attorneys from The Buckeye Institute, an Ohio-based think tank, and BakerHostetler, a Washington, D.C. law firm. The defendants include Reisman's union, the Associated Faculties of the University of Maine, the University of Maine and its board of trustees, and the state of Maine. The Associated Faculties of the University of Maine, an affiliate of the National Education Association, represents about 1,000 faculty members.
What is at issue? Reisman argues that Maine's exclusive representation law violates his First Amendment free-speech and associational rights. Robert Alt, president and chief executive officer of The Buckeye Institute and a lead attorney for Reisman, said, "If state law cannot compel public employees to financially support union advocacy — as the [Supreme Court] ruled in Janus v. AFSCME — how can states require these same public employees to accept representation from unions that many of them have chosen not to join?"
How have the lower courts ruled in this matter? On Dec. 3, 2018, Judge Jon Levy, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine, dismissed the case. Levy said, "[By] authorizing the union, in its role as the agent for the bargaining unit, to negotiate with the board on matters related to the terms and conditions of employment, the act does not cloak the union with the authority to speak on issues of public concern on behalf of employees, such as Reisman, who do not belong to the union. Reisman remains free to speak out in opposition to the union and its positions as he sees fit. His constitutional challenge to the act thus rests on a fundamental misconception."
Reisman appealed Levy's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. A three-judge panel, comprising Judges O. Rogeriee Thompson, Bruce Marshall Selya, and David Barron, heard the appeal. On Oct. 4, 2019, the panel voted unanimously to affirm Levy's dismissal. Barron, writing for the court, said, "Considered in context … § 1025(2)(E) [the challenged law] is not properly read to designate AFUM as Reisman's personal representative, as he contends. Rather, that provision merely makes clear that a union, once it becomes the exclusive bargaining agent for a bargaining unit, must represent the unit as an entity, and not only certain of the employees within it, and then solely for the purposes of collective bargaining."
Levy, Thompson, and Barron were appointed to their positions by President Barack Obama (D). Selya was appointed by President Ronald Reagan (R)
What comes next? In a press release announcing the appeal, Andrew Grossman, counsel of record for Reisman, said, "Following the Court's landmark Janus ruling, it is clear that these [exclusive representation] laws are unconstitutional, and we hope the Court will recognize them as such." The formal appeal, known as a petition for writ of certiorari, can be read here. The opposing parties have 30 days to file a brief in response. On average, the court acts on an appeal within about six weeks of its filing.

House delivers articles of impeachment to Senate

Notable Quote of the Day
"To better understand which candidates did well or poorly Tuesday night, we plotted how favorably respondents rated the candidates before the debate vs. how debate-watchers rated candidates' performances afterward — and Elizabeth Warren, in particular, seemed to have a breakout evening according to this metric. She not only received the highest marks for her debate performance, but her scores were high even relative to her pre-debate favorability rating.
That said, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden also received medium-to-high marks for their performances, but because of their relatively high pre-debate favorability ratings, we expected a lot of voters to already be predisposed to viewing their debate performances in a positive light. So while they still did pretty well on the debate stage, they didn't exceed expectations the way Warren did. Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer, on the other hand, tied for the lowest overall debate grades, putting them only barely above where we'd expect them to be given their pre-debate favorability ratings."

Notable Quotes of the Week
"Voters will head to the polls to cast the first in-person ballots in the Democratic presidential primary season on Friday — but not in Iowa's famous first-in-the-nation caucuses.
Thanks to generous early-voting laws, Iowa's neighbor to the north, Minnesota, has the distinction of offering the first chance for any voter to turn out and cast a ballot in the 2020 presidential campaign. …
Minnesota's early voting is a reminder that even though most observers are counting down until Iowa, some votes will be cast before then, no matter what strategies or surprises the candidates and the political fates have in store during the next few weeks."

U.S. Supreme Court issues opinions in two cases
By Kate Carsella
On January 14, 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States issued rulings on two cases, Ritzen Group Inc. v. Jackson Masonry and Retirement Plan Committee of IBM v. Jander.
In the case Ritzen Group Inc. v. Jackson Masonry, Ritzen Group and Jackson Masonry both claimed that the other party breached contract after a sale of property fell through. A lawsuit Ritzen filed against Jackson in Tennessee state court was stayed after Jackson filed for bankruptcy. Ritzen filed a motion to lift the stay, which the bankruptcy court denied. Ritzen then filed a claim against Jackson in bankruptcy court. The bankruptcy court found Ritzen, not Jackson, breached the contract. On appeal, the district court affirmed the bankruptcy court's ruling. On appeal again, the 6th Circuit affirmed the judgments of the district court and bankruptcy court.
The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, ruling unanimously that a bankruptcy court's order unreservedly denying relief from the automatic stay constitutes a final, immediately appealable order under §158(a). Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg delivered the opinion of the court.
In the case Retirement Plan Committee of IBM v. Jander, Larry Jander invested in IBM's retirement plan. After IBM sold its microelectronics business at a loss and shares fell, Jander alleged the IBM retirement plan committee violated their fiduciary duty of prudence to the pensioner under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed Jander's claim. On appeal, the 2nd Circuit reversed and remanded the case. The retirement committee petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, arguing the 2nd Circuit "subverted [a] pleading standard" established in Fifth Third Bancorp v. Dudenhoeffer.
The Supreme Court vacated and remanded the case in a per curiam decision. A per curiam decision is issued collectively by the court. The authorship is not indicated. Justices Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg filed a joint concurring opinion. Justice Neil Gorsuch also filed a concurring opinion.

Traynor receives commission to North Dakota federal court
On January 13, 2020, Daniel Mack Traynor received his judicial commission to the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota.
Traynor was nominated to the court by President Donald Trump (R) on September 19, 2019, to succeed Judge Daniel Hovland, who assumed senior status on November 10, 2019. Traynor was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on December 19, 2019, by a vote of 51-41.
Following nomination by the president, a federal judicial nominee completes a questionnaire that is reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee then holds a hearing to question the nominee regarding their judicial philosophy and their previous rulings. The committee also sends the nominee's home state senators a blue slip, permitting them to express their approval or disapproval of the nominee.
After the hearing, the committee votes to approve or return the nominee. If approved, the nominee is reported to the full Senate for a vote. If returned, the president may renominate the person. If the Senate confirms the nomination, the individual receives commission to serve as a federal judge for a life term. If the individual is not confirmed, they do not become a judge.
The U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota has two active Article III judges, including Traynor. The other active judge is Peter Welte, who was also nominated by Trump.
The court's two judges on senior status are:
• Patrick Conmy – nominated by President Ronald Reagan (R)
• Daniel Hovland – nominated by President George W. Bush (R)
The United States District Court for the District of North Dakota is one of 94 U.S. District Courts. They are the general trial courts of the United States federal court system. When decisions of the court are appealed, they are appealed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.

In the past decade, two lieutenant governors have challenged their state's governor for re-election; two more could do so this year
By David Luchs
Since 2010, two gubernatorial elections have featured an incumbent governor running against the state's lieutenant governor. This year, gubernatorial elections in North Carolina and Vermont each have the potential to feature the incumbent and the state's lieutenant governor.
Vermont Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman (Vermont Progressive Party/Democratic) announced Monday that he would run for governor this year. Incumbent Gov. Phil Scott (R) is eligible to run for re-election but has not announced whether he will do so. In North Carolina, Lt. Gov. Dan Forest (R) is challenging incumbent Gov. Roy Cooper (D). Both are running in contested primaries; Forest faces state Rep. Holly Grange (R) while Cooper faces businessman Ernest Reeves (D).
A Zuckerman-Scott or a Forest-Cooper matchup would be the first time a state's governor faced the lieutenant governor in the general election since Ballotpedia began coverage of state executive elections in 2010. During that period, there have been two times when a state's governor faced the lieutenant governor in a primary election.
In 2011, then-West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin's (D) resignation prompted a special election for the remainder of Manchin's term. Six candidates ran in the Democratic primary, including acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin (D) and acting Lt. Gov. Jeffrey Kessler (D). Tomblin won the primary with 40.4% of the vote and went on to win the special election in November and a full term the following year.
The other governor-lieutenant governor primary contest also involved a vacancy; after South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) resigned to serve as U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Henry McMaster (R) succeeded to the governorship. In the 2018 gubernatorial election, McMaster and Lt. Gov. Kevin Bryant (R) were among the five candidates seeking the Republican nomination. McMaster won the Republican nomination after advancing to a runoff against businessman John Warren (R) and went on to win a full term in the November election.
The responsibilities and selection process for the office of lieutenant governor vary widely from state to state. In 26 states, the lieutenant governor runs on a ticket with the governor, while in 17 states the office is elected separately. Of the 17 that elect governors and lieutenant governors separately, three—Louisiana, North Carolina, and Vermont—currently have a lieutenant governor of a separate party from the governor.
Five states do not have a lieutenant governor at all. Two of them—Arizona and Oregon—currently have a governor and secretary of state (the office next in line to the governorship in both states) of different parties. The remaining two states give the title of lieutenant governor to the state senate president.

Grassley sworn in as speaker of the Iowa House
By Sarah Doyel
On January 13, 2020, Rep. Pat Grassley (R) was sworn in as speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives. House Republicans elected Grassley as speaker in October 2019 after Rep. Linda Upmeyer (R) announced she would step down as speaker at the end of 2019.
Grassley has served in the Iowa House of Representatives since 2007, representing District 50. He was most recently re-elected in November 2018.
All 100 seats of the Iowa House of Representatives are up for election in 2020. The current partisan composition of that chamber is 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats. Iowa has had a Republican state government trifecta since 2017, meaning the Republican party controls the governor's office as well as a majority in both chambers of the Iowa General Assembly.

Chief Justice John Roberts, U.S. senators sworn in for impeachment trial of President Donald Trump
The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump (R) began on Thursday when seven House impeachment managers, led by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), presented to the U.S. Senate two articles of impeachment against Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was sworn in as the presiding officer of the trial. Ninety-nine U.S. senators—Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) was not present—were then sworn in by Roberts to serve as jurors.
The trial is expected to continue with opening statements on Jan. 21.
Trump is the third president in U.S. history to be impeached. President Andrew Johnson was acquitted in 1868 after being charged with violating the Tenure of Office Act. In 1999, President Bill Clinton was acquitted of two charges for perjury and obstruction of justice.
