Q: Insert React Component or Element into specific div which is not DOM Element Need help!
I try to insert one React Component into specific div generated by another component, more precisely, by google.maps.Map()

Everyone is sitting up and taking note of Mike's innovative leadership in London. Ken Livingstone was talking about Mike on his show on LBC 97.3 this morning. The Guardian had not 1, not 2 but 3 articles about Barnet this week.
The truth is that the left is scared to death of Mike. They know his policies will save a fortune and will see substantial reductions in Council taxes. Once Mike has proven that the ideas work in Barnet, Conservative Councils up and down the country will follow the lead Mike has given. This will result in a sea change in the way councils are run and may well see the end of Socialism at Council level.
It won't surprise me at all if Mike Freer becomes the second Conservative prime minister from Finchley.
"David Cameron's aides have disassociated themselves from Freer's proposals, which do not reflect national Conservative policy. A senior Tory source told the Telegraph: "This is not seen as a blueprint. Barnet have gone their way and that's fine but there is no wider significance as far as David is concerned.""
Is it not really the case that Barnet is seen as a political liability to David Cameron? Whereas excellent Conservative Councils, such as Westminster and Hammersmith & Fulham, have effectively brought their Conservative voters with them, in Barnet the Council is seen as 'nasty' and 'incompetent'.
Just ask yourself why David Cameron is the first Leader to distance himself from one of his own Councils since Neil Kinnock's brave Labour Party Conference speech against that other loony Council, Militant Liverpool?
It is just as well Michael Whitney Freer is the PPC for Finchley as anyone else would be pulling their hair out right now as the Conservative votes drained away.
We'll see and end to Socialism when Michael Whitney Freer stands down in October. Hopefully the next leader of the, so called, Conservative Group will not follow the socialist housing policies despised by Boris Johnson of forcing thousands of rabbit hutch flats on a Barnet that wants and needs family housing.
Oh I see S&W the Barnet muppets are back doing their single white female act!
If anyone would be worthy of that accolade it would be none other than yourself.
We are proud to support those who, like David Cameron, wants lower taxes, less waste and a revolution in openness. However Michael Whitney Freer (your colleague) calls fellow Conservatives who challenge him and call for such measures malicious w*nkers.
Reports suggest David Cameron will slash Cabinet pay whereas Michael Whitney Freer has voted again and again for huge increases in Councillors pay, and is about to award his close chum Melvin Cohen an extra £10k for attending 4 meetings a year.
When the voters get to hear about this they will rise up and who knows what will happen in the forthcoming selections.
Will surely be an interesting few months!
Our Party is a broad church, where a wide range of views and opinions are tolerated. Most of us refrain from criticising other members in public.
When you realise this, maybe you will realise that nobody takes you seriously anymore.
Exactly who do you want to win in Finchley and Golders Green, please tell us all?
Mrs T, you should really stay off of the sherry before blogging. We don't know who you are addressing or what you are gabbling on about!


Joining the BBC's team of nature doc composers – which includes George Fenton (Frozen Planet [M]), Nitin Sawhney (Human Planet), and Martin Kiszko (Alien Empire) – is Sarah Class, and her roots in songwriting have given the score a highly melodic structure with each cue firmly rooted to a fully developed theme.
Exploiting the breadth of the BBC Orchestra, Class' compositions are a mix of largely classical orchestral and contemporary melodic writing. The generally modest inclusion of percussion instruments adds a slightly exotic yet wholly accessible feel. Most of the score unfolds like complete chapters tied to groups of animals and / or behavioral montages, giving Silva's beautifully mastered album an elegant flow.
The main theme is unusually passionate, but it matches the insanely detailed imagery in what's so far the BBC's most beautiful HD production. More attention was given to footage of creatures large and almost invisible, with incredible tracking shots on land and in the air, and Class' music emphasizes the lengthy segments where life and death struggles unfold in almost macro detail. The rippling percussion in "Lion and Lizards Rock Café" is maybe a little too poppish (much in the way a few IMAX scores are sometimes designed to appeal to a broad, G-rated crowd with cheeky, jokey cues), but the mood & idiomatic change breaks up what could easily have been a score whose passionate tone could've devolved into unintentional earnestness.
The score's most impressive sections are perhaps the least emotional – the subtly of harp and resonant tones in "Lakes and Flamingos" is a major highlight – and the handful of percussion cues have an upbeat style rather than harsh edges, such as the synth-augmented "Force of the Whale." Solo violin and gentle piano carry the delicate theme in "Beauty of the Aguillus," and the waltz rhythm in "Bangweulu Swam" is refreshingly playful.
A few cues are tinged with a kind of New Age, Spielbergian wonderment – "Up in the Clouds" works better in the doc than as solo cue – and "Turtles" is a little emotionally overwrought with an oft-used 'danger' surge, but Class' contribution to the BBC's nature series is pretty solid, adding another venerable credit to her existing body of documentary scores.

Home > Visitors > Belton History
Downtown Belton Historic Courthouse
Bell County's first courthouse was a log structure, replaced in 1858 by a larger, more expensive building. The voters objected so strongly to the $13,625.00 cost, that they did not re-elect any of the commissioners involved. Bell County's third and final courthouse, completed in 1885, features Renaissance Revival architecture and a copper goddess of justice on top of the clock tower. Behind the courthouse stands Belton's second opera house, built around 1890. Note the saloons to the left of the courthouse - this area was once known as "rat row."
Located just below Belton Dam on FM 2271 near historic Tennessee Valley and along the Leon River, the Miller Springs area has played a significant role in the lives of Central Texas inhabitants. Native Americans used the narrow river valley with its overhanging limestone ledges for shelter, transportation, and hunting and gathering activities. The scenic waterway and abundant flora and fauna also provided a favorite recreational location for later Central Texas families. The rock shelter is now part of Miller Springs Nature Center.
Independence Day celebrations are a longtime Belton tradition, dating back to 1852. Today, a weeklong, nationally recognized celebration includes a carnival, cattle drive, arts and crafts festival, the PRCA rodeo, and a downtown parade. Each year the parade alone often draws crowds of more than 30,000. The parade pictured here shows a mock re-enactment. Notice the crowds gathered in the streets, perched on awnings, and watching from the rooftops.
Belton's Fourth of July parade attracts Over 30thousand people to its downtown area every year. Communities from many Central Texas areas participate by building floats such as this 1920's one from the historic Taylor's Valley community. The Belton Carnegie Library, built in 1904-05 with funds provided by Andrew Carnegie, stands in the background. The building now houses the Bell County Museum.

REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, Defendant--Appellee.
Rehearing and Suggestions for Rehearing En Banc Denied Nov.
Clair Edward Schaff, Minneapolis, MN, argued, for Appellant.
Mark B. Rotenberg, Minneapolis, MN, argued (Tracy M. Smith, on the brief), for Appellee.
Seth M. Galanter, Washington, DC, argued (Isabelle Katz Pinzler and Jessica Dunsay Silver, on the brief), for Intervenor.
Before WOLLMAN and LOKEN, Circuit Judges, and BATAILLON,* District Judge.
The Eleventh Amendment bars federal court jurisdiction over a suit between an unconsenting State and one of its citizens unless Congress has effectively abrogated the State's Eleventh Amendment immunity. See Edelman v. Jordan, 415 U.S. 651, 662-63, 94 S.Ct. 1347, 39 L.Ed.2d 662 (1974). The University of Minnesota is "an instrumentality of the state" entitled to invoke Minnesota's Eleventh Amendment immunity. See Treleven v. University of Minnesota, 73 F.3d 816, 818-19 (8th Cir.1996). John Humenansky brought this action in federal court, alleging that the University violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et seq., when it laid him off in 1994. The district court1 dismissed, concluding that the suit is barred by the Eleventh Amendment because Congress neither intended to abrogate Eleventh Amendment immunity nor acted under § 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment in enacting 1974 amendments that extended the ADEA to cover public employers. Humenansky appeals, supported by the United States as intervenor. We affirm.
To determine whether a federal statute abrogates Eleventh Amendment immunity, we ask "first, whether Congress ... unequivocally expressed its intent to abrogate the immunity, and second, whether Congress ... acted pursuant to a valid exercise of power." Seminole Tribe v. Florida, 517 U.S. 44, 55, 116 S.Ct. 1114, 1123, 134 L.Ed.2d 252 (1996). The practical import of this inquiry is narrow, affecting only whether States may be sued in federal court for ADEA violations. We review these questions of law de novo.
A. Congressional Intent To Abrogate. The power to abrogate Eleventh Amendment immunity "implicates the fundamental constitutional balance between the Federal Government and the States." Therefore, "Congress must express its intention to abrogate the Eleventh Amendment in unmistakable language in the statute itself." Atascadero State Hosp. v. Scanlon, 473 U.S. 234, 238, 243, 105 S.Ct. 3142, 87 L.Ed.2d 171 (1985). The statute need not explicitly reference sovereign immunity or the Eleventh Amendment. See Dellmuth v. Muth, 491 U.S. 223, 233, 109 S.Ct. 2397, 105 L.Ed.2d 181 (1989) (Scalia, J., concurring). But its text must contain "unmistakably clear" language that States may be sued in federal court. A general authorization for suit in federal court is not enough. See Seminole Tribe, 116 S.Ct. at 1123-24.
The ADEA prohibits age discrimination in employment. The statute has its own recitation of prohibited conduct and covered employers. See 29 U.S.C. §§ 623, 630(b). But it contains a hybrid enforcement mechanism: 29 U.S.C. § 626(c) authorizes aggrieved persons to sue "in any court of competent jurisdiction" for relief under the ADEA, while 29 U.S.C. § 626(b) provides that the ADEA "shall be enforced in accordance with the powers, remedies, and procedures provided in" the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Among the cross-referenced FLSA enforcement statutes is 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), which authorizes aggrieved employees to sue for damages and liquidated damages "in any Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction." See generally Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Thurston, 469 U.S. 111, 125, 105 S.Ct. 613, 83 L.Ed.2d 523 (1985).
[W]e have found not a word in the history of the 1966 amendments to indicate a purpose of Congress to make it possible for a citizen of that State or another State to sue the State in the federal courts.... It would ... be surprising ... to infer that Congress deprived Missouri of her constitutional immunity without changing the [provision] under which she could not be sued or indicating in some way by clear language that the constitutional immunity was swept away.
Congress responded in 1974 by amending § 216(b) to permit actions "against any employer (including a public agency) in any Federal or State court. " Pub.L. No. 93-259, § 6, 88 Stat. 61 (emphasis added). The amendment was intended to overturn the Eleventh Amendment ruling in Employees. See H.R.REP. NO. 93-259, reprinted in 1974 U.S.C.C.A.N. 2811, 2853. Though the intent-to-abrogate inquiry focuses on statutory text, not legislative history, we agree with numerous other circuits that the 1974 amendments to § 216(b) reflect an unmistakably clear textual intent to abrogate Eleventh Amendment immunity from FLSA suits in federal court. See, e.g., Reich v. State of New York, 3 F.3d 581, 590-91 (2d Cir.1993); Hale v. State of Arizona, 993 F.2d 1387, 1391-92 (9th Cir.1993); cf. Fitzpatrick v. Bitzer, 427 U.S. 445, 449 n. 2, 452, 96 S.Ct. 2666, 49 L.Ed.2d 614 (1976) ("congressional authorization to sue the State ... clearly present" when Title VII amended to allow suits against "governments [and] governmental agencies").
At the same time Congress amended the FLSA's § 216(b), it expanded the ADEA's definition of "employer" to include "a State or political subdivision of a State and any agency or instrumentality of a State or a political subdivision of a State." Pub.L. No. 93-259, § 28, 88 Stat. 74, codified at 29 U.S.C. § 630(b)(2). Because § 626(b) of the ADEA incorporates § 216(b), the 1974 amendments amended part of the ADEA enforcement mechanism as well as the definition of employer. But left unamended was 29 U.S.C. § 626(c)--it still contains only a general authorization to enforce the ADEA "in any court of competent jurisdiction." Thus, we face a conundrum. If we look only at § 626(c), the 1974 ADEA amendments are just like the 1966 FLSA amendments at issue in Employees--Congress now covered public employers but did not expressly allow them to be sued in federal court. On that basis, we would conclude no intent to abrogate, following the reasoning in Employees as reinforced by the Court's later decisions in Atascadero and Dellmuth. On the other hand, if we look at the ADEA's enforcement scheme from the perspective of its cross-reference to the FLSA, Congress cured the abrogation deficiency found in Employees by amending § 216(b) at the same time § 630(b)(2) was amended to include States and other public employers.
Section 1.... No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
The ADEA has been upheld as a valid exercise of Congress' power under the Commerce Clause. See E.E.O.C. v. Wyoming, 460 U.S. 226, 103 S.Ct. 1054, 75 L.Ed.2d 18 (1983). The power-to-abrogate question turns on whether the ADEA is also a valid exercise of Congress' powers under § 5. "Because such legislation imposes congressional policy on a State involuntarily, and because it often intrudes on traditional state authority, we should not quickly attribute to Congress an unstated intent to act under its authority to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment." Gregory v. Ashcroft, 501 U.S. 452, 469, 111 S.Ct. 2395, 115 L.Ed.2d 410 (1991) (quotation omitted). Though Congress need not expressly articulate an intent to legislate under § 5, a court must "be able to discern some legislative purpose or factual predicate that supports the exercise of that power." Wyoming, 460 U.S. at 243 n. 18, 103 S.Ct. 1054. The issue has been more clearly framed by the Supreme Court's recent decision in City of Boerne, in which the Court invalidated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 as exceeding Congress' authority under § 5.
If this argument is correct, Congress' § 5 power to enforce the Equal Protection Clause is virtually unlimited, because it is not tied to enforcing judicially recognized equal protection violations. Age is not a suspect class entitled to a heightened level of equal protection scrutiny. See Massachusetts Bd. of Retirement v. Murgia, 427 U.S. 307, 96 S.Ct. 2562, 49 L.Ed.2d 520 (1976). In Murgia, the Court upheld a mandatory retirement age for Massachusetts state police officers, concluding the statute "clearly [met] the requirements of the Equal Protection Clause" because it rationally furthered the reasonable state objective of ensuring a physically fit police force. 427 U.S. at 314-15, 96 S.Ct. 2562. In Vance v. Bradley, 440 U.S. 93, 99 S.Ct. 939, 59 L.Ed.2d 171 (1979), the Court upheld a federal statute mandating that Foreign Service officers retire at age sixty against an equal protection challenge, concluding the classification was valid under rational basis review. The Equal Protection Clause applies not only to statutes such as those at issue in Murgia and Vance, but also to the day-to-day employment decisions of a myriad of state officers and agencies. But these isolated executive actions are unconstitutional only if they are the product of intentional discrimination that "fail[s] to comport with the requirements of equal protection." Batra v. Board of Regents, 79 F.3d 717, 721 (8th Cir.1996). Thus, there has been no judicial definition of invidious, that is, unconstitutional age discrimination, and given the many economic and social factors that may justify adverse employment action based upon age in a particular situation,4 it seems likely that only a few isolated, egregiously irrational instances of age discrimination would violate the Equal Protection Clause. However, under this broad interpretation of § 5, Congress defines what is prohibited, and so long as it is legislating to protect a class of government employees against what Congress defines as "invidious discrimination," it is acting "consistent with the letter and spirit" of the Equal Protection Clause.
[T]he Age Act can be sustained only if we assume first, that Congress can define rights wholly independent of our case law, and second, that Congress has done so here. I agree with neither proposition.
Allowing Congress to protect constitutional rights statutorily that it has independently defined fundamentally alters our scheme of government.... There is no hint in the body of the Constitution ratified in 1789 or in the relevant Amendments that every classification based on age is outlawed. Yet there is much in the Constitution and the relevant Amendments to indicate that states retain sovereign powers not expressly surrendered, and these surely include the power to choose the employees they feel are best able to serve and protect their citizens.
And even were we to assume, arguendo, that Congress could redefine the Fourteenth Amendment, I would still reject the power of Congress to impose the Age Act on the states when Congress, in the same year that the Age Act was extended to the states, passed mandatory retirement legislation of its own for law enforcement officers and firefighters.
460 U.S. at 262-63, 103 S.Ct. 1054 (Burger, C.J., dissenting). Similarly, Justice Stewart, concurring in part for himself, Chief Justice Burger, and Justice Blackmun in Oregon v. Mitchell, 400 U.S. 112, 296, 91 S.Ct. 260, 27 L.Ed.2d 272 (1970), explained that § 5 gives Congress "the means of eradicating situations that amount to a violation of the Equal Protection Clause," but not the power "to determine as a matter of substantive constitutional law what situations fall within the ambit of the clause."
Congress' power under § 5, however, extends only to "enforcing" the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court has described this power as "remedial." The design of the Amendment and the text of § 5 are inconsistent with the suggestion that Congress has the power to decree the substance of the Fourteenth Amendment's restrictions on the States. Legislation which alters the meaning of the Free Exercise Clause cannot be said to be enforcing the Clause. Congress does not enforce a constitutional right by changing what the right is. It has been given the power "to enforce," not the power to determine what constitutes a constitutional violation.
I respectfully dissent from the court's decision concluding that the text of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA") does not reflect an unmistakably clear intent by Congress to abrogate the states' Eleventh Amendment immunity. I also must dissent from the court's decision that the ADEA exceeds Congress' § 5 enforcement power under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Prior to the appeal in this case, five sister circuits have concluded that Congress had the intent to abrogate the states' Eleventh Amendment immunity from claims filed under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Hurd v. Pittsburg State University, 109 F.3d 1540, 1544 (10th Cir.1997) (declaring "Congress intended to abrogate state sovereign immunity by enacting the 1974 amendments to the ADEA."); Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 695 (3d Cir.1996) (declaring "The [ADEA] simply leaves no room to dispute whether states and state agencies are included among the class of potential defendants when sued under the ADEA for their actions as 'employers.' "); Santiago v. New York State Dep't of Correctional Servs., 945 F.2d 25, 31 (2d Cir.1991) (declaring in dictum that the ADEA is an example of "legislation that has clearly stated Congress' intention to abrogate states' immunity from damage actions in a variety of contexts."); Davidson v. Board of Governors, 920 F.2d 441, 443 (7th Cir.1990) (concluding "Unless Congress had said in so many words that it was abrogating the states' sovereign immunity in age discrimination cases--and that degree of explicitness is not required ...--it could not have made its desire to override the states' sovereign immunity clearer."); and Ramirez v. Puerto Rico Fire Serv., 715 F.2d 694, 701 (1st Cir.1983) (concluding "[T]he ADEA's express authorization for the maintenance of suits against state employers comprises adequate evidence to demonstrate the congressional will that Eleventh Amendment immunity be abrogated.").
Since this case was argued, the Seventh Circuit has reaffirmed its earlier decision in Davidson, and the Ninth Circuit has joined the overwhelming majority of circuits in holding that Congress clearly expressed its intention to abrogate states' immunity in private suits for violations of the ADEA. Goshtasby v. Board of Trustees., 141 F.3d 761, 766 (7th Cir.1998) (holding "[W]e reaffirm our position that Congress made its intention to abrogate the states' sovereign immunity unmistakably clear in the ADEA's 1974 amendment."); and Keeton et al. v. University of Nevada Sys., 150 F.3d 1055, 1058 (9th Cir.1998) (holding that "Congress abrogated the states' immunity in amending the ADEA pursuant to its Fourteenth Amendment enforcement authority."). The weight of reason set forth in these seven circuit court opinions compels me to dissent from the majority's decision.
To determine whether Congress abrogated the states' Eleventh Amendment immunity in enacting the ADEA, a Court must first decide whether Congress has "unequivocally expresse[d] its intent to abrogate the immunity." Seminole Tribe v. Florida, 517 U.S. 44, 55, 116 S.Ct. 1114, 134 L.Ed.2d 252 (1996). However, Congress' intent in the statutory text does not require explicit reference to state sovereign immunity or to the Eleventh Amendment. Dellmuth v. Muth, 491 U.S. 223, 233, 109 S.Ct. 2397, 105 L.Ed.2d 181 (1989). Direct reference to the "state" in the text of a federal statute may suffice to evidence Congress' intent to abrogate the states' sovereign immunity from suit. Seminole Tribe, 517 U.S. at 57, 116 S.Ct. 1114 (concluding that "the numerous references to the 'State' in the text of [the statute] make it indubitable that Congress intended through the Act to abrogate the States' sovereign immunity from suit.").
When Congress enacted the ADEA in 1967, the Act applied only to private employers. EEOC v. Elrod., 674 F.2d 601, 605-06 (7th Cir.1982). In 1974, Congress expanded the ADEA's definition of "employer" to include "a State or political subdivision of a State and any agency or instrumentality of a State." Pub.L. No. 93-259, § 28(a)(2), 88 Stat. 74, codified at 29 U.S.C. § 630(b)(2). Congress also amended the definition of "employee" to include employees subject to the civil service laws of a State government. Id., § 28(a)(4), 88 Stat. 74, codified at 29 U.S.C. § 630(f). The direct textual references to "state"--state, political subdivision of a state, agency of a state, instrumentality of a state, and state government--in the 1974 amendment to the ADEA clearly expressed Congress' intent to abrogate states' sovereign immunity. Cf. Seminole Tribe, 517 U.S. at 57, 116 S.Ct. 1114.
Under the Seminole Tribe test the second inquiry is whether Congress has acted "pursuant to a valid exercise of power" under the Fourteenth Amendment. Id. at 55, 116 S.Ct. 1114. The Supreme Court has declared that " § 5 is a positive grant of legislative power authorizing Congress to exercise its discretion in determining whether and what legislation is needed to secure the guarantees of the Fourteenth Amendment." Katzenbach v. Morgan, 384 U.S. 641, 651, 86 S.Ct. 1717, 16 L.Ed.2d 828 (1966). Although the 1974 amendment does not explicitly refer to the Fourteenth Amendment, there is no requirement that it do so. EEOC v. Wyoming, 460 U.S. at 243 n. 18, 103 S.Ct. 1054 (declaring congress need not "anywhere recite the words 'section 5' of the 'Fourteenth Amendment' or 'equal protection'... 'for the constitutionality of action taken by Congress does not depend on recitals of the power which it undertakes to exercise' ") (quoting Woods v. Cloyd W. Miller Co., 333 U.S. 138, 144, 68 S.Ct. 421, 92 L.Ed. 596 (1948)).
To determine whether Congress enacted appropriate legislation under § 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Supreme Court established a three-part test in Katzenbach v. Morgan. First, a court must determine whether a statute may be regarded as an enactment to enforce the Equal Protection Clause. Second, a court must determine whether the statute is plainly adapted to enforce the Equal Protection Clause. Third, a court must determine whether the statute is consistent, and not prohibited by, the letter and spirit of the Constitution. 384 U.S. at 650-51, 86 S.Ct. 1717. Recently, the Supreme Court supplemented the analysis by directing courts to examine whether the statute creates new constitutional rights through legislation or only deters and remedies constitutional violations. City of Boerne v. Flores, 521 U.S. 507, ----, 117 S.Ct. 2157, 2163, 138 L.Ed.2d 624 (1997). A statute is deemed appropriate legislation if it deters or remedies constitutional violations. Id.
The ADEA was enacted to enforce the Equal Protection Clause. In enacting the ADEA, Congress announced "[T]he purpose of this [Act is] to promote employment of older persons based on their ability rather than age; to prohibit arbitrary age discrimination in employment; to help employers and workers find ways of meeting problems arising from the impact of age on employment." 29 U.S.C. § 621. In 1973, a Senate committee report found "[t]here is evidence that, like the corporate world, government managers also create an environment where young is sometimes better than old." EEOC v. Wyoming, 460 U.S. at 233, 103 S.Ct. 1054 (quoting Senate Special Committee on Aging, Improving the Age Discrimination Law, 93d Cong., 1st Sess., 14 (Comm.Print.1973), Legislative History 215, 231). In 1974, Congress responded by amending the ADEA to provide federal, state, and local government workers with the same protections against age-based discrimination afforded to employees in the private sector. 29 U.S.C. §§ 630(b) and 631(b); EEOC v. Wyoming, 460 U.S. at 233 n. 5, 103 S.Ct. 1054.
Today, the majority concludes that the ADEA is not plainly adapted because it prohibits more than what an Article III court may find unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment.6 In reaching this conclusion, the majority relies, in part, on City of Boerne. The majority's reliance on City of Boerne is dubious. The federal statute challenged as unconstitutional was the Religious Freedom Restoration Act ("RFRA"), 107 Stat. 1488. 42 U.S.C. § 2000bb et seq. The Court found that the RFRA was an unconstitutional exercise of Congress' § 5 power because the statute was "so out of proportion to a supposed remedial or preventive object that it cannot be understood as responsive to, or designed to prevent, unconstitutional behavior." City of Boerne, 521 U.S. at ----, 117 S.Ct. at 2170. As such, the Court found that Congress exceeded its § 5 power in enacting the RFRA because the statute attempted a "substantive change in constitutional protections." Id.
Unlike the RFRA, the ADA clearly chronicles and directly addresses the discrimination people with disabilities have experienced and the 'evils' those with disabilities continue to experience in modern day America.... Unlike the RFRA struck down in Flores, the ADA is 'plainly adapted' as a remedial measure even though each individual violation of the ADA may not in and of itself be unconstitutional. The remedies provided in the ADA are not so sweeping that they exceed the harms they are sought to redress. Because of the clear "evil" present in disability discrimination and the well-documented need for equal protection in this respect, the ADA is plainly adapted to the end of providing those with disabilities equal protection under the law.
The analysis in Autio is directly applicable to this case. In the text of the ADEA statute, Congress directly addressed the arbitrary discrimination older employees face in the workplace. See 29 U.S.C. § 621(b). The remedies provided in the ADEA are not "so out of proportion" to the problems of arbitrary age discrimination identified by Congress. Rather, the documented existence of age-based discrimination in private and public employment induced Congress to intrude not only upon the interests of private employers but also upon state interests through the enactment of the 1974 amendments. In light of the well-documented need for equal protection of older workers, I believe the ADEA is plainly adapted to the end of providing older workers equal protection under the law.
Finally, the 1974 amendments to the ADEA are fully consistent with both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. The Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. Arbitrary and intentional discrimination on the basis of age violates the Equal Protection Clause. Gregory v. Ashcroft, 501 U.S. at 470-71, 111 S.Ct. 2395. Simply because the Supreme Court does not elevate age to a suspect or quasi-suspect classification does not mean that Congress cannot enforce the Equal Protection Clause through the enactment of a statute aimed directly at prohibiting arbitrary age discrimination in employment. Goshtasby v. Board of Trustees of University of Illinois, 141 F.3d 761, 771 (7th Cir.1998). I concur with the Seventh Circuit in concluding that Congress does not exceed its enforcement power under § 5 by enacting legislation designed to guarantee equal protection for all persons regardless of the level of judicial scrutiny afforded to them. Id.
For the foregoing reasons, I respectfully dissent and would reverse the order of the district court.

By separating electricity production and supply activities, the government can plead with Brussels that EDF is no longer a monopoly that controls all links in the chain.
This is a complex subject, but central in the debate around the reorganization of EDF: how to distribute the benefit of the nuclear rent? The 58 reactors of the French fleet, built in the 1970s and 1980s, produce a competitive electricity, which allows France to be one of the countries where electricity is the cheapest in Europe.
But EDF is in a special situation, since the group is both operator of all nuclear power plants and electricity supplier for about 80% of homes. A situation that the European Commission considers contrary to the rules of competition.
To avoid a dismantling of the group desired by Brussels, the Fillon government had invented, in 2011, a mechanism allowing EDF's competitors to gain access to nuclear generation on favorable terms. This device, called Arenh (regulated access to historical nuclear electricity), was based on a simple mechanism: a quarter of the nuclear production can be pre-purchased by alternative suppliers, if they wish. EDF had accepted the principle at the time, hoping that it would not have too much impact.
Today, the direction of the group has given as a priority objective to put down the Arenh. "This is a major topic because it is a deadly risk for the company"dramatizes a leader, who believes that the fact of having to reserve part of this production to competitors, blind and at a fixed price and cheap, lost EDF hundreds of millions of euros. A working group between the company and the government is working to completely reform this system, which must end in 2025.
This system today has two essential dimensions. First, through a complex calculation, it has a direct impact on electricity prices. It is because the mechanism found its limits at the end of 2018 that the Personal electricity bills are expected to increase 5.9% in June. A rise that was to come earlier, but was rejected by the government because of movement of "yellow vests".
Above all, the Arenh is a form of guarantee for Brussels that EDF does not abuse its dominant position. "This is actually the number one issue for EDF and the French State at the European Commission", assures a close of the public company. In other words: to "sell" in Brussels the reorganization of EDF, it must go through a renegotiation of this device.

Hofstra Crushes Stony Brook to Stake Undisputed Claim as Long Island's Best
By Jon Wagner
Last March, the Stony Brook Seawolves were dancing in their first NCAA tournament, after winning the America East Conference, while the Hofstra Pride narrowly missed its fifth dance and first since 2001, after dropping an overtime heartbreaker in the finals of the much tougher Colonial Athletic Association.
With neither team starting conference play yet this season, it's difficult to say whether either school will win its respective conference tournament and dance this year. But as each squad winds down the non-conference portion of its own schedule, one thing is certain: Hofstra is home to the best men's Division I basketball team on Long Island.
The Pride (7-5) made that abundantly clear, scoring the first four points, going on a 13-2 run to lead, 17-4, and never looking back in a 96-58 utter domination of the Seawolves (3-7) at the Mack Sports Complex on Tuesday night.
Junior center Rokas Gustys, the nation's leading rebounder, set the tone early, converting a layup on the game's first possession, before grabbing five boards within the first 2½ minutes. By halftime, he had matched the 13 rebounds he was averaging when the night started. Gustys finished with 18 boards and 11 points (for his fourth double-double of the season), as one of six Hofstra players — including all five starters — who scored in double figures.
Heading that group was sophomore reserve guard Justin Wright-Foreman, who while pulling down a career-best eight rebounds, also led all scorers with a career-high 22 points (on 8-of-12 shooting) in as many minutes off the bench.
"This is no surprise, the way he scored tonight," head coach Joe Mihalich said of Wright-Foreman. "He did it all through the preseason. He just had to get comfortable and get a little bit of confidence. It's not magic… he just had to have a little success to get his confidence. The man can really score… and if he feels comfortable out there, there'll be more games like this, I hope."
Half-jokingly, Mihalich then turned to Wright-Foreman and drew a laugh from his star of the game after telling him directly, "You're allowed to do this every night."
Aiding Gustys and Wright-Foreman were freshman point guard Eli Pemberton (18 points), junior forward Ty Greer (14 points and a season-high 12 rebounds), senior guards Deron Powers (13 points and a game-high seven assists) and senior Brian Bernardi (11 points), all of whom helped the Pride lead 44-24 at halftime and by as many as 43 points just before Mihalich emptied his bench with three minutes left.
Relentless at each end of the floor, Hofstra had its largest win of the season — even surpassing a 33-point home win over Division III Medaille College on Nov. 25, as the Pride shot 50.7 percent (35-for-69), including 47.6 percent (10-for-21) from 3-point range, while limiting the Seawolves to just 33.8 percent shooting (24-for-71) overall and 21.4 percent (6-for-28) from behind the arc.
By themselves, Gustys and Greer matched the 30 rebounds Stony Brook had, as Hofstra (59 boards) totaled nearly twice that many.
Coming off an emotional five-point home loss to Rutgers and former head coach Steve Pikiell (who left Stony Brook after last season), the Seawolves were catching the Pride at the wrong time, as noted by Mihalich, who credited his team's prior two-game losing streak against tough competition (in a six-point home loss to St. Bonaventure and a 23-point defeat to No. 6 Kentucky on Sunday) with preparing his team well.
"I think the outcome of this game is the result of what happened last week," he said. "We came up short, but I think we got better against those two teams. I think we learned a lot about ourselves and we were looking forward to getting back on the court again."
While Hofstra ultimately proved to be ready, Mihalich had been only cautiously optimistic.
"Obviously, we're very pleased with how we played," he said. "[But there] was a little bit of a hangover possibility written all over it because we had that big game Sunday against Kentucky [on] national TV [at] the Barclays Center (in Brooklyn), and we had just one day to prepare [for Stony Brook]. So you're worried a little bit about the residuals of that game, and our guys obviously handled it very well."
Mihalich added, "The biggest thing coming out of Sunday was we learned really how to prepare for somebody and really how to play the game the right way. These guys were even saying before the game, 'Let's prepare for every game like it's Kentucky.' We learned how to do that against Kentucky (which only led Hofstra by three points with less than 3½ minutes left in the first half on Sunday) and I think it carried over."
Gustys and Wright-Foreman agreed.
"Looking at Justin Wright-Foreman, he did well against Kentucky (with 14 points, all in the second half) and built that confidence. Tonight, he was the leading scorer and played well. The whole team played well. We played hard and concentrated and I think that Kentucky game really helped us and prepared us for [tonight's] game… I feel like everybody concentrated and gave everything they [had]."
Wright-Foreman (who has scored 29 percent — 36 of 124 — of his total points on the season over his past three halves, after scoring a total of 44 points as a freshman last year) added, "It was a great experience (against Kentucky), especially playing against [that] group of guys, who are potential first-round draft picks for the NBA. It was just an all-around great experience for all of us. We just had to embrace that moment and this game, we just had to pick up where we left off."
Winning big came at a perfect time for Hofstra, which will have to wait until Dec. 22 before hosting Siena in its final non-conference game of the regular season, and then wait for the last day of the calendar year before opening CAA play at Delaware.
"This is the way to go into a nine-day layoff because the alternative is you don't get it done and you've got to think about a bad game for nine days," Mihalich said. "So this is great."
Mihalich also enjoyed extending Hofstra's commanding all-time series lead to 20-5 over the Stony Brook, dating back to the 1972-73 season.
"It always means a little bit more to play a crosstown rival, to play a local team," Mihalich said. "It always feels a little bit better."
Winning 12 of the first 13 matchups between the teams through 1999, the Pride went 6-3 to carry the flag for Nassau County over Suffolk County in annual meetings between 2000 and 2008 before the series was renewed annually again in 2014.
Following some easier wins for Hofstra, the rivalry had tightened up with Stony Brook gutting out a three-point road win in 2007, the Pride paying the Seawolves back on the road by five points a year later, then winning by one point on a shot in the final seconds at home two years ago, before the Seawolves pulled out a three-point home win over Hofstra last year.
This season, with each team losing a couple of major pieces to graduation last year, the Battle of Long Island was a surprising drastic departure which for now, gives Hofstra some undeniable bragging rights.
However, what Stony Brook and Hofstra each did last March wasn't a motivating factor for Mihalich, with the Seawolves' ability to become Long Island's darlings (with its NCAA tournament berth) over the Pride, which remained in waiting to return to the dance.
"That didn't enter my mind," Mihalich said.
But staking claim as Long Island's best team based on head-to-head battles did, for everyone on Hofstra and Stony Brook.
"It means a lot," Gustys said. "It was very different the past couple of times we played against them… the rivalry, playing against them every year gets us ready for conference play."
Freshman guard Michael Almonacy (team-high 15 points), a Brentwood, N.Y. native from about 12 away from Stony Brook's campus, said, "It's a big rivalry for us Long Island kids (like not only Almonacy, but Gustys' backup, junior center Hunter Sabety, from Oceanside, N.Y., about seven miles from Hofstra's campus).
"It's just a big game all the time when these two teams play," Almonacy added. "I'm looking forward to it way more next year because we just got blown out by them."

AFC Wimbledon paid the price for defensive mistakes that allowed Gillingham to come from behind and earn victory in the Final Third Development League today.
It had all looked so promising early on when Dan Agyei fired Wimbledon in front after good work by Neset Bellikli, but Gillingham replied with two goals before the break and eventually triumphed 3-1.
Wimbledon fielded a very young side for this match and that was summed up by the fact that 19-year-old George Oakley had made more first-team appearances than anyone in a Dons shirt as he featured nine times as a substitute earlier this season.
Egli Kaja showed his promise with a lovely run minutes later, but he decided to go it alone rather than set-up Oakley and his shot was well wide. Wimbledon fell behind for the first time two minutes before half-time when Joe McDonnell's attempted clearance rebounded off Roles straight into the path of Michael Freiter, who made no mistake.
Wimbledon had a mountain to climb eight minutes into the second-half when Wilson was penalised for a foul in the area and Blanchard made no mistake from 12 yards again.
In truth, there had been little to separate the two sides in terms of general play and Wimbledon came close to reducing the arrears on several occasions. Agyei fired just over after good approach play by Jason Stripp and then Kaja produced another fine individual run that ended with a shot well saved by the Gills goalkeeper.
Kaja also came close with a curled effort just wide, but Cundle struck a post with a lovely effort from outside the box in the latter stages. A fourth goal would have been harsh on Wimbledon, but it was a day when Alan Reeves' young side failed to find the same fluency that had been such a feature of their excellent 4-0 win against Cambridge last week.
AFC Wimbledon: Joe McDonnell, Reece Batchelor, Taylor Roles, Callum Wilson, Neset Bellikli, Egli Kaja, Jason Stripp (Alfie Egan), Christian Toonga, David Fitzpatrick, George Oakley, Dan Agyei.

Pharmacy Schools Fight Against Cancer
March 29, 2012 - By Beverly Lansing
A fraternity from a pharmacy school in North Carolina helped organize an important race in their community last month.
The fraternity Kappa Epsilon from the University of North Carolina's Eshelman School of Pharmacy organized the first ever Caring Community 5k run to raise money for local residents trying to pay for basic necessities and cancer treatments in the great Chapel Hill area.
The charity run was sponsored by the non-profit organization Caring Community Foundation. The Caring Community Foundation was created in 2000 by Jill Wolford, a UNC alumna who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999. Unlike other cancer charity events, all of the proceeds from this event went to help cancer patients pay for their necessary living expenses while trying to pay for costly treatments.
In Alabama, Auburn University is leading an initiative with its veterinarian medicine school that could also help fight cancer in the United States and globally. The "One Medicine" initiative focuses on the research aspect of cancer foundations, working on the principle that humans and animals have much in common medically. As the director of the Auburn University Research Initiative in Cancer Bruce Smith pointed out, finding a cure for cancer in animals or in humans equates to finding a cure in the other species. Many advances that have occurred in the field of human medicine have been directly translated to veterinarian medicine. This works in reverse, so research and support for research in this field could benefit humans with cancer.
Pharmacy schools are often tasked with the job of research in the field of medicine and many schools have revealed breakthrough treatments for a number of medical conditions. While many other charities focus on this effort to find a cure, it is refreshing to see a pharmacy school that is trying and help cancer patients who are suffering locally.

Washington, DC – After the government shutdown stalled the enactment of critical Farm Bill provisions, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, today called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to fast-track Farm Bill implementation and provide much-needed relief to dairy farmers and other producers across New York State as soon as possible.
The Farm Bill included provisions to help provide relief to dairy farmers in New York and across the country who have been suffering from historically low milk prices, including a major provision that Gillibrand fought for and secured to put money back into the pockets of dairy farmers who paid into a failed insurance system, the Margin Protection Program (MPP), and got nothing in return when milk prices fell. During the recent government shutdown, the USDA was unable to begin issuing these premium refunds to dairy farmers. The USDA also was unable to begin enacting other new Farm Bill programs, including the new and improved Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) insurance program.
Issue direct premium refunds to farmers who purchased MPP coverage for any of the calendar years from 2014 through 2017.
Open the enrollment period for the new Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) insurance program that is replacing replace the old Dairy Margin Protection Program (MPP).
Communicate to dairy producers about the availability of premium refunds through USDA websites, FSAfarm+, and targeted outreach to farmer-focused media and information resources.
Update the MPP Decision Tool for the DMC to reflect the changes to premiums and coverage levels made through the 2018 Farm Bill so that farmers can best determine which level of protection is most appropriate for their operation.
As you begin the process of implementing the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (Farm Bill), I write to urge you to prioritize the interests and well-being of the American dairy producer. The Farm Bill contains significant enhancements to many programs, the implementation of which will create competing demands on US Department of Agriculture (USDA) staff and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) resources. This strain will be exacerbated by the recent 35-day government shutdown that limited opportunities for the Agency to develop policy and engage with producers. Even as several Farm Bill provisions have statutory defined deadlines that are rapidly approaching, it is imperative that you devote all necessary USDA resources to ensure the implementation of the Farm Bill dairy provisions as soon as possible, in a manner that supports all dairy farmers.
Update the Margin Protection Program Decision Tool for the DMC to reflect the changes to premiums and coverage levels made through the 2018 Farm Bill so that farmers can best determine which level of protection is most appropriate for their operation.
I know that you understand and share my sense of urgency to assist our dairy produces with all the tools and resources they need to do what they do best; provide affordable, wholesome milk, in every part of the country. I am certain that you will seize this opportunity to fulfill the USDA motto, "Do right and feed everyone," and deliver for our farmers.
