(Stanley) Fish Food for Thought: Cultural Reflections
October 16, 2015 by Gabrielle Beacken
Welcome to Part 5 of PUP's Stanley Fish series, Fish Food for Thought. All selections are excerpted from Fish's new book, Think Again: Contrarian Reflections on Life, Culture, Politics, Religion, Law, and Education.
Fish Food for Thought
Part 5: Cultural Reflections
3.1 Professor Sokal's Bad Joke
Fish on why Professor Sokal is wrong about sociologists.
When Professor Sokal declares that "theorizing about 'the social construction of reality' won't help us find an effective treatment for AIDS," he is at once right and wrong. He is right that sociologists will never do the job assigned properly to scientists. He is wrong to imply that the failure of the sociology of science to do something it never set out to do is a mark against it, (95)
3.3 Dorothy and the Tree: A Lesson in Epistemology
Fish on why Dorothy picked an apple from a speaking tree without thinking.
Another way to put this is to say that changes of mind tend to be local and piecemeal, not systemic. Wholesale conversions like Paul's on the road to Damascus do occur, but more often a change will affect only a small corner of one's conceptual universe. After her conversation with the tree, Dorothy may no longer place trees and persons in completely different compartments, but much that she used to think, she will still think, (107)
3.5 What Did Watson the Computer Do?
Fish on the difference between computers and humans when following the rules.
The inability or unwillingness of human beings to follow the rules or be
content with their guidance is not a weakness but a strength; it is the strength of being able to adjust when the rules have nothing helpful to say or produce absurd results in a situation the rule-markers did not anticipate. Only a fool will persist in adhering o a rule or set of directives when its application is clearly counterintuitive and even disastrous… The computer I am writing this column on is a fool, (113)
3.7 Can I Put You on Hold?
Fish on the annoying little things everyone encounters.
There is a class of utterances that, when encountered, produces irritation, distress and, in some cases, the desire to kill… Mine is a three-word announcement on the TV Screen, "To Be Continued," which says, "I know that you have become invested in this story and are eager to find out how it ends, but you're going to have to wait for a few days or a week or a month or forever." In the great order of things, it is only a minor inconvenience, but it is experience as a deprivation; you were banking on something and now it has been taken away, (120)
3.10 Favoritism is Good
Fish on why favoritism is sometimes the preferred thing.
Favoritism – giving more than an even break to your own kind – is not a distortion of judgment, but the basis of judgment. And being impartial to those who are a part of you – through blood or creed or association or profession (think of the thin blue line) – is not to be virtuous but to be ungrateful and disloyal, more concerned with hewing to some abstract principle of respect for all than with discharging the obligations that come along with your most intimate relations, (129-130)

(Stanley) Fish Food for Thought: Aesthetic Reflections
October 2, 2015 by Gabrielle Beacken
Part 3: Aesthetic Reflections
2.1 Why Do Writers Write?
Fish on the internal satisfaction when writing.
If you've found something you really like to do — say write beautiful sentences — not because of the possible benefits to the world of doing it, but because doing it brings you the satisfaction and sense of completeness nothing else can, then do it at the highest level of performance you are capable of, and leave the world and its problems to others, (41)
2.4 The Ten Best American Movies
Fish on one of his favorite movies, 1980's 'Raging Bull.'
Most boxing movies trace the classic pattern of rise, fall, and redemption…or tell a moral tale about the corruption of the sport… or detail the corruption of the protagonist. Raging Bull offers no triumph and no moral. It just exhibits the self-destructiveness of its central figure again and again…the wonder is that Scorsese was able to make something lyrical out of a polluting self-destructiveness, but that is what he did, (55)
2.6 Larger than Life: Charlton Heston
Fish on former Hollywood star Charlton Heston.
The fact is that Heston's size, his monumentality, was an obstacle he had to overcome in order to become the actor he wanted to be… Not only was Heston capable of playing a small man; the tension between the inner smallness he was portraying and his physical mass added strength and poignancy to the performance, (63)
2.8 Little Big Men
Fish on identifying with actors.
Seeing men you know to be small playing big on the silver screen is comforting, even though the comfort depends on a very suspect transference…But you take your comfort where you can get it, and for me, comfort at the highest level would be identifying with a short, tough guy who is also Jewish, (71-72)
2.13 Country Roads
Fish on the world of country music.
But if you enter, if only vicariously, into the country music culture, you have to swallow, along with your enjoyment, some stances and attitude that might you pause (or might not, depending on who you are). It's a man's world… It's a Christian world… It's a white world… It's a patriotic world… And it is a world that knows everything I have just said about it, revels in it, and puts it all into the songs, (88-89)

(Stanley) Fish Food for Thought, Part 2: Reflections on Liberal Arts Education
September 24, 2015 by Gabrielle Beacken
Welcome to Part 2 of PUP's Stanley Fish series, Fish Food for Thought. All selections are excerpted from Fish's new book, Think Again.
Part 2: Reflections on Liberal Arts Education
7.1 Why We Built the Ivory Tower
Fish on the difference between the academic and advocacy worlds.
In short, don't cross the boundary between academic work and partisan advocacy, whether the advocacy is yours or someone else's. Marx famously said that our job is not to interpret the world, but to change it. In the academy, however, it is exactly the reverse: our job is not to change the world, but to interpret it. (301)
7.4 Devoid of Content
Fish on teaching language structure, not content, in the classroom.
Students who take so-called courses in writing . . . are learning how to marshal arguments in ways that will improve their compositional skills. In fact, they will be learning nothing they couldn't have learned better by sitting around in a dorm room. . . . They will certainly not be learning anything about how language works; and without a knowledge of how language works, they will be unable to either spot the formal breakdown of someone else's language or to prevent the formal breakdown of their own. (313)
7.6 Will the Humanities Save Us?
Fish on the purpose of humanities courses.
To the question, 'Of what use are the humanities?', the only honest answer is none whatsoever. And it is an answer that brings honor to its subject. Justification, after all, confers value on an activity from a perspective outside its performance. An activity that cannot be justified is an activity that refuses to regard itself as instrumental to some larger good. The humanities are their own good. There is nothing more to say, and anything that is said . . . diminishes the object of its supposed praise. (323)
7.7 The Uses of the Humanities
Fish on why he teaches humanities subjects.
Why do I do it? . . . I don't do it because it inspires me to do other things, like change my religion or go out and work for the poor. If I had to say, I'd say that I do it because I get something like an athletic satisfaction from the experience of trying to figure out how a remarkable verbal feat has been achieved. . . . [I]t is like solving a puzzle—but the greater satisfaction is the opportunity to marvel at what a few people are able to do with the language we all use. (324–325)
7.10 Deep in the Heart of Texas
Fish on recognizing a quality education.
But sometimes (although not always) effective teaching involves the deliberate inducing of confusion, the withholding of clarity, the refusal to provide answers. . . . And sometimes that disappointment, while extremely annoying at the moment, is the sign that you've just been the beneficiary of a great course, although you may not realize it for decades. (340)

Throwback Thursday #TBT: The Papers of Thomas Jefferson
October 9, 2014 by Blake Campbell
Happy Thursday, everybody! Welcome to a new edition of Throwback Thursday! On this week's #TBT, we're discussing Princeton University Press's massive ongoing series, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson.
Projected to fill 60 volumes, the series began in 1950 with the publication of its first installment. The latest volume, 41, will be published early next year. Featuring all of Jefferson's 18,000 letters as well as the more than 25,000 letters written to him, this magnificent project encompasses the third president's private life and his contributions to American history, and represents an indispensable resource for historians. Barbara G. Oberg currently serves as the series's general editor.
Jefferson's Memorandum Books: Accounts, with Legal Records and Miscellany, 1767-1826 was published in 1997 as part of the Second Series of The Papers. This volume contains the most detailed coverage of Jefferson's everyday life, and offer fascinating insights into the man's mind. The Journal of Southern History called the volume "a resource rich in possibility for those who seek to understand the man and his world."
We hope you've enjoyed this installment of #TBT. See you next Thursday!

Моя боротьба III () — 1-й епізод одинадцятого сезону серіалу «Цілком таємно». Прем'єра в мережі «Фокс» відбулася 3 січня 2018 року. Під час початкового ефіру в США його переглянули 5.15 мільйона глядачів.

Скаллі госпіталізовують після того, як вона втрачає свідомість в кабінеті Фокса Малдера. Дізнавшись про її загадкові видіння Малдер починає розслідування і виходить на колишніх членів синдикату: пана Ігрека та Еріку Прайс, які переслідують мету колонізації Всесвіту. Курець та Моніка Рейес зустрічаються з Волтером Скіннером і просять приєднатися до них.

Зміст
Я хочу вірити. Я хочу брехати.

Епізод починається з монологу Курця про його роль у сучасній історії. Він називає своє повне ім'я — Карл Герхард Буш.

Дейну відвозять до лікарні після нападу; її лікар-невролог каже Малдеру і Скіннеру — не впевнена чи Скаллі житиме. А її мозок проявляє аномальну активність; Скіннер на екрані гіпоталамуса Дейни прочитує морзянкою спалахи «Знайди його». Малдер сидить коло лікарняного ліжка, коли Дейна Скаллі приходить до тями в лікарні після нападу. Цей напад розкриває події попереднього епізоду як бачення апокаліптичного майбутнього. Вона розповідає Фоксу Малдеру про майбутню епідемію вірусу «Спартанський», яку побачила у своїх видіннях. Але Фокс розцінює цю історію як наслідок хвороби Скаллі. Невідомий переслідує агента Джеффрі Спендера у підземному гаражі та збиває його машиною. Спендер ховається за дверима багатоквартирного будинку, де вказано число «209». Нападник вимагає видати місцезнаходження хлопчика.

Медсестра оповідає Малдеру і Скаллі про деякі дивні картки пацієнтів у її відомстві. Спендер дзвонить Малдеру з повідомленням про подію. Дзвінок прослуховує Курець, який знаходиться у кімнаті з Монікою Рейєс. Скаллі у маренні знову ввижається Курець. Малдер зауважує, що за його автомобілем ведеться стеження. Починається погоня, Малдеру вдається уникнути переслідування і самому почати переслідувати.

Спендер з'являється біля ліжка Скаллі та розповідає, що хтось розшукує її з Малдером сина. Він відмовляється повідомити розташування Вільяма, але називає прізвище сім'ї, яка взяла хлопчика на виховання — ван де Камп. Дейна повідомляє Спендеру — Курець живий. Дейна повідомляє Фоксу — вона у видіннях бачить переслідування Малдера невідомим чоловіком. Малдер вистежує свого переслідувача, який, як він сподівається, приведе його до Курця. Однак він знаходить у його будинку чоловіка та жінку, які колись були членами Синдикату, який приховував інформацію про вторгнення прибульців. Змовники повідомляють про інопланетний патогенний вірус, який знаходиться в розпорядженні Курця і може знищити людство. Вони пропонують Малдеру вбити Курця, щоб урятувати свого сина.

Волтер Скіннер хоче зустрітися зі Скаллі, але не може до неї додзвонитися. В тому часі до відсутнього Фокса дзвонить Скіннер. У машині на підземному паркуванні Моніка приставляє до голови Скіннера пістолет. З'являється Курець, який пропонує Волтеру угоду: імунітет до вірусу в обмін на сина Малдера, Скаллі залишає лікарню, але через новий напад потрапляє в автомобільну аварію. Під час розмови із Курцем до Скіннера дзвонить Малдер — Волтер не піднімає слухавку.

На допомогу Скаллі приходять агенти Ейнштейн та Міллер, які повертають Скаллі до шпиталю. Вбивця, підісланий містером Y та Ерікою, намагається задушити Скаллі. Малдер, що підбігає, перерізає йому горло скальпелем. Скаллі здогадується, що вбивцю надіслав не Курець, він і раніше мав можливість убити її. Вона також розповідає, що її бачення йдуть від Вільяма, і саме він спрямовує Скаллі та Малдера. До лікарні приїжджає Скіннер; Малдер відчуває від нього запах цигарок і починає бійку.

З флешбеків стає відомо, що 17 років тому Курець за допомогою інопланетної науки штучно запліднив Скаллі, щоб створити суперлюдину. Справжнім батьком Вільяма є не Малдер, а Курець.

У підлітка (ймовірно, Вільяма) відбувається напад.

Зйомки
Зйомки сезону розпочалися в серпні 2017 року у Ванкувері, де знімався попередній сезон разом із оригінальними п'ятьма сезонами серіалу.

Міфологія з попередньої серії подій «Секретних матеріалів» мала негативні відгуки, що змусило Кріса Картера менше зосереджуватися на міфології та створювати більше окремих історій. У різних інтерв'ю Картер уже планував розв'язку «Моєї боротьби II», поки вона була у виробництві. Цей епізод сумновідомий тим, що повністю змінює відповідну частину міфології серіалу: розкриває, що Малдер не є батьком Вільяма, а Курець, багато років тому вжив наркотики та «штучно запліднив» Скаллі. Це також відповідає відповідній сцені з епізоду 7 сезону «Як друг», в якому Скаллі прокинулася в кімнаті в піжамі під час подорожі з Курцем, звинувачуючи його в тому, що він піддав їй наркотики. Діалог у сцені був дещо змінений. За словами Кріса Картера, він планував цю стратегію з моменту зйомок цього епізоду. Він пояснює, що це «цікаво емоційно доповнює персонажів. І оскільки глядачі тепер знають цю правду, а Малдер і Скаллі — ні, ці одкровення є величезними для серіалу, тому що вони важливі для персонажів. Малдер і історія життя Скаллі, як професійна, так і особиста, є серцевиною шоу».

Крім головних акторів Девіда Духовни, Джилліан Андерсон і Мітча Піледжі, в епізоді буде кілька запрошених зірок, у тому числі зірки оригінального серіалу Вільям Б. Девіс і Аннабет Гіш, а також повернення Лорен Амброуз і Роббі Амелла, чиї герої дебютували в десятому сезоні. У цьому епізоді повертається персонаж Джеффрі Спендер, якого грає Кріс Оуенс, який востаннє з'являвся в оригінальному фінальному епізоді серіалу, який вийшов у 2002 році. Барбара Херш також вперше з'являється в ролі нового повторюваного персонажа, Еріки Прайс.

Показ і відгуки

Під час початкової трансляції в США 3 січня 2018 року його подивилися 5,2 мільйона глядачів, що на 62 % менше, ніж прем'єра попереднього сезону в 2016 році, яка мала 16,2 мільйона глядачів. У Великій Британії, де епізод транслювався 5 лютого 2018 року на 5-му каналі, його переглянули загалом 1,87 мільйона глядачів протягом 28-денного періоду, зокрема на каналі Timeshift, Channel 5+1 , і My5.

«Моя боротьба III» отримала загалом змішані чи негативні відгуки критиків. На сайті «Rotten Tomatoes» рейтинг схвалення становить 33 % із середньою оцінкою 5,96 із 10 на основі 9 відгуків.

Станом на серпень 2022 року на сайті «IMDb» серія отримала 6.4 бала підтримки з можливих 10 при 3801 голосі користувачів. Оглядач Мет Фаулер для «IGN» писав так: «Прем'єра 11 сезону "Секретних матеріалів" мала всі ознаки жорстокої історії "Цілком таємно" — величезні змови, тіньові фігури, що курять, мовчазні вбивці, великі розкриття. Але все це виглядало як 10 фунтів "правди" в п'ятифунтовому мішку. Незграбно, вимучено і по-хакерськи».

В огляді для «Den of Geek» Кріс Лонго відзначив: «"Моя боротьба I" та "Моя боротьба III" загалом не були чудовими епізодами, але вони принаймні ще раз підтверджують, чому нам потрібно взяти на себе зобов'язання знайти правду. Пам'ятаєте останню заяву Малдера в залі суду в оригінальному фіналі серіалу? — "Брехуни не бояться правди, якщо брехунів достатньо"» Оглядач Зак Гендлен для «The A.V. Club» зазначив так: «Після катастрофічного фіналу минулого сезону я був здивований тим, що все ще схвильований перспективою нових "Секретних матеріалів". З огляду на те, наскільки проблеми серіалу були вплетені в саму суть самої міфології, можна подумати, що я був би готовий здатися. І "Моя боротьба III" не зовсім розвіює ці страхи. Знову Малдер і Скаллі роблять… щось, тоді як тіньові сили (переважно Курець, хоча деякі нові гравці з'являються в середині епізоду) працюють проти них. Знову на карту поставлена доля цивілізації. Знову є інопланетяни. І знову надто багато емоційної інформації передається через незграбний голос поверх монологів, які намагаються надати абсурду певної ваги». В огляді для «IndieWire» Ліз Шеннон Міллер зазначила: «На певному рівні "Моя боротьба III" є сильнішою прем'єрою сезону, ніж "Моя боротьба I" 10-го сезону. Епізод принаймні має певний імпульс вперед. Однак це все ще досить багатослівно, і деякі з цих рішень майже болючі».

The Sixth Circuit Holds that Having High School Tennis Team Tryouts for Girls and Not Boys Does Constitute a Violation of Title IX
Holt Hackney gender equity high school February 17, 2022 | 0
(Editor's note: From the annals of Title IX Alert comes this piece by Doriyon C. Glass, then of Jackson Lewis P.C., now of Morgan Lewis)
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment for Shelby County Board of Education ("SCBE") in a lawsuit brought on behalf of a former Martha Layne Collins High School ("MLCHS") student alleging multiple claims including a violation of Title IX because MLCHS had tennis tryout for the girls' tennis team but, not the boys'.
In Clemons v. Shelby County Board of Education, Keisha Clemons ("Clemons") sued the SCBE, its Superintendent, and MLCHS's principal and girls' tennis coach (collectively "Defendants") on behalf of her minor daughter T.W., who attended MLCHS and was a member of the girls' tennis team. T.W. had a history of anxiety and social struggles, and in 2014 she was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome Disorder and anxiety. Scott Ricke became the girls' tennis head coach when the 2013-2014 season began, and decided not to have tryouts because MLCHS's principal, John Leeper, had explained that the school usually had difficulties turning out students for sporting events and that he was glad the girls' tennis program was growing. As a result, there were fourteen girls on the team, including T.W.
It was T.W.'s third year playing tennis for the school, but she immediately had difficulties under the new coach and often had panic attacks after practice. After a particularly difficult practice in February 2017, Clemons met with Ricke and told him about T.W.'s Asperger's diagnosis and helping T.W. However, after the meeting, issues continued with T.W. and her participation on the tennis team which led Clemons to complain to James Nieoff, SCBE's Superintendent.
In April 2014, T.W. had to play a match against one of her teammates as part of the process of determining which girls would be playing at regionals. T.W. lost, and when she found out she would not be playing at regionals, she became very upset. As a result, Clemons met with MLCHS's administrators, explaining her daughter's Asperger's diagnosis and her frustrations related to the tennis coach. Later that day, Clemons angrily confronted Ricke and withdrew T.W. from MLCHS the next day.
In June, Clemons sent a letter to Superintendent Neihof detailing the events of the tennis season and alleging that Ricke had harassed and bullied T.W. in violation of the Section 504 Rehabilitation Act. Nieof forwarded Clemons concerns to Principal Leeper and told Clemons that he would look into her complaints and that he hoped T.W. would reenroll and play tennis the following year. Clemons reenrolled T.W. for the 2014-2015 school year and met with a support team to discuss accommodations for T.W.
In early February, Ricke distributed handbooks to girls interested in playing for the tennis team in the upcoming season. The handbooks explained that there would be a three-day tryout and some players would be cut due to limited space. The girls' and boys' tennis teams shared six courts with the boys' and girls' tennis teams from another high school in Shelby County, and the limited number of courts and daylight hours limited practice time resulting in matches where some students did not get the opportunity to play. Court space, however, was not an issue on MLCHS's boys' team because fewer boys signed up for tennis. In fact, in the 2013-2014 season, the boys' coach had trouble filling the roster and only had eight players, whereas the girls' team had 14 players that season.
After the three-day tryout, T.W. was cut from the team and Clemons asked the school to investigate the tryout process. The school concluded that the process was equitable, but the process was inadequate for elimination because due to the weather, the girls were not playing in their normal environment and unable to play head to head matches. Principal Leeper informed Clemons of the results of his investigation and that T.W. would be given a spot on the team.
T.W.'s support team met and came up with a plan including accommodations to assist with T.W.'s participation on the tennis team. T.W. was given a schedule of challenge matches she had to play against teammates, as all the players had to play challenge matches to determine who would play in the completive varsity matches. On April 1st, T.W. played two challenge matches and lost. Clemons decided to stop T.W. from playing another match because T.W. was struggling and she did not agree with how Ricke had set up the matches. Later that evening, Clemons sent an email complaining about what had happened and withdrew T.W. from MLCHS the next day. She later filed a lawsuit of T.W.'s behalf.
Clemons alleged, among other things, that Defendants violated Title IX by requiring girls, but not boys, to try out for the tennis teams in 2015. The Defendants moved for summary judgment, which the district court granted, and Clemons subsequently appealed the decision to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
SCBE argued that T.W. did not have standing to bring the claim because she could not show she suffered an "injury in fact" because despite being cut after tryouts, she was ultimately given a spot on the team. An "injury in fact" must be "concrete and particularized and actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical." The court held that even though T.W. was eventually placed on the team, she still suffered a concrete and particularized injury when she was cut. She missed several weeks of practice and playtime with her teammates, and thus, she had standing to pursue her Title IX claim.
In analyzing the merits of the Title IX claim, the court explained Title IX requires that schools provide "gender-blind equality of athletic opportunity to students[,]" not "perfect parity between sports programs." Whether a school provides equal athletic opportunities to members of both sexes depends on many factors, including:
(1) [w]hether the selection of sports and levels of competition effectively accommodate the interests and abilities of members of both sexes; (2) [t]he provision of equipment and supplies; (3) [s]cheduling of games and practice time; . . . (5) [o]pportunity to receive coaching and academic tutoring; . . . [and] (7) [p]rovision of locker rooms, practice and competitive facilities.
The court then looked to a relevant Policy Interpretation issued by the Department of Education's Civil Rights Office, which is entitled to deference from the court. The three sections of the Policy Interpretation on "equivalence in other athletic benefits and opportunities (equal treatment claims)" applied to Clemons's allegation of disparate treatment of MLCHS's boys' and girls' tennis teams. The Policy interpretation explained that "compliance may be determined by examining whether the policies of an institution are discriminatory in language or effect and whether disparities in benefits, treatment, services, or opportunities in individual segments of the program are substantial enough in and of themselves to deny equality of athletic opportunity."
In determining the appropriate analytical approach for the claim, the court explained that the relevant question when evaluating these type of disparate treatment claims is whether the disparate treatment resulted in unequal athletic opportunities for female athletes. The court must first determine whether the conduct or practice in question has a negative impact on one sex and then determine whether that disparity is substantial enough to deny members of equality of athletic opportunity.
The court concluded that MLCHS's decision to hold tryouts for the girls' tennis team was "plainly not the type of disparity for which Title IX provides a remedy." Although the tryouts negatively affected T.W., there was no evidence that the tryouts had a negative impact on girls' athletic opportunities at MLCHS overall. Further, the record showed that due to increased interests in girls' tennis, Ricke had to be selective through tryouts to assure each female player received adequate court time. The court explained that in all other respects the programs were equal, and there was no indication that the tryouts created a disparity substantial enough to deny girls equal athletic opportunity, or that the tryouts even had a negative impact on the girls.
Clemons attempted to argue that holding tryouts for girls alone was significant enough in and of itself to deny quality of athletic opportunity because tryouts could intimidate potential players. The court was not persuaded by this argument as it was mere speculation and there was no evidence to support her assertions. Because Clemons failed to show evidence that female athletes were denied athletic opportunity, the court affirmed the lower court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the Defendants.

A former adviser at RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc. is alleged to have "impersonated his clients" at a firm he started after settling disciplinary actions in connection with his work at the two major banks.
The Ontario Securities Commission says Mark Steven Rotstein and his new firm Equilibrium Partners Inc. (EQ) obtained personal and corporate information from clients, including their passwords, and then communicated with market participants in order to execute buy and sell orders for clients.
"During most of these communications, Rotstein impersonated his clients," the OSC alleges in a statement of allegations made public Tuesday.
A hearing into the matter is to take place March 24 at the OSC's headquarters in Toronto. None of the allegations have been proven.
The regulator says the Toronto man and his firm carried out more than 500 transactions for and with clients, with a settlement value exceeding $14,450,000, between July 2, 2013, and Oct. 4, 2014.
Before starting EQ, Rotstein worked for RBC Dominion Securities from 1997 until he was terminated for cause in April of 2011. At his peak, he had roughly 2,000 client accounts with assets valued at about $500 million, according to the OSC.
He joined Scotia Capital the same month he was let go by RBC, and subsequently settled the allegation brought by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada in connection with his work at RBC. In the settlement, Rotstein "admitted that he had engaged in a practice, for over a decade, of signing client names and passing those signatures off as the clients' on account and investment documents, in dozens and potentially hundreds of instances," according to the OSC.
Among other things, Rotstein, who was required to work under close supervision at Scotia, agreed to pay a fine of $250,000.
However, he was asked by Scotia to resign in July of 2012, and IIROC subsequently brought another proceeding against him in connection with his work there. In June of 2012, he settled the second IIROC proceeding with an admission that he had entered a trade for a client without the client's knowledge or authorization, according to the OSC.
His departure from Scotia "resulted in the automatic suspension of his registration," the OSC document says, and Rotstein was prohibited in the July 2014 settlement from registering with IIROC for a period of 18 months.
In the event that his registration was to be reactivated, he agreed he would be subject to strict supervision and to terms and conditions regarding his record keeping. The earliest he was eligible for registration was Jan. 3, 2016.

2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Host Cities – Part 1
The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, set to take place from June 12th – July 13th, has an incredible 12 host cities making it one of the largest World Cups on the books. These 12 cities are spread throughout the entire country, with most of them (eight in total) lining the eastern South Atlantic Ocean coastline of Brazil. This map (credit to FIFA.com) shows where all 12 of the cities are located in Brazil.
2014 FIFA World Cup Host Cities Map
With the distance between the cities, teams will be required to travel farther than any other World Cup in history. The United States World Cup team in particular will travel a whopping 9,000 miles – More than any other country in the tournament. One thing is for certain, fans that are attending the World Cup this year are sure to get a nice tour of the Brazilian country side!
Six of these host cities have built brand new stadiums specifically for the 2014 World Cup, the remaining six all made significant upgrades to existing structures to facilitate the events. The 12 Host Cities for the World Cup are: Manaus, Fortaleza, Natal, Recife, Salvador, Brasilia, Cuiaba, Belo Horizonte, Rio De Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Curitiba, and Porto Alegre. Each of the 12 cities have something unique to offer:
Rio Negro & Solimoes Rivers Meet
Nestled quietly in the Amazon Jungle lies Manaus, the capital city of the Amazonas state. The city of Manaus has a population of 1.5 million, and is really only accessible by boat or airplane. As you would expect for a city located deep in the heart of the Amazon jungle, the climate is quite hot and humid! One of the most unique features of this Amazonian city is the convergence of the Rio Negro and Solimoes rivers. The two rivers run for almost 4 miles without mixing waters. The two rivers meet and form the mouth of the Amazon River, which is the second longest river in the world and the largest in terms of water flow.
Forro During Carnaval
Hovering just south of the Equator sits Fortaleza, the Capital city of Ceara and the 2nd city on our list of 2014 FIFA World Cup Host Cities. Fortaleza is the fifth largest city in Brazil with a population of 2.55 million people. Located on the Atlantic Ocean and known for it's strong winds Fortaleza is one of Brazil's premier surfing locations. Culturally it is the center of forro, a type of Brazilian music that encompasses a variety of dance styles and musical beats. Luckily for those attending the World Cup, the city of Fortaleza will be in the height of it's June festivities allowing visitors to be completely immersed in the city's quite unique culture.
Maior Cajueiro Do Mundo – The Worlds Largest Cashew Tree
Known for its warm waters, sand dunes, and sprawling beaches the 3rd city on our list is Natal. Located in Rio Grande do Norte, Natal is the capital city and has a population of approximately 950,000. It is often praised as the safest capital city in Brazil and has the Via Costeria (Or Coastal Highway) to thank for it's strong tourism industry. Perhaps one of the most interesting attractions in Natal is the Maior cajueiro do mundo, the world's largest cashew tree. The picture to the left shows how immense the tree is taking up approximately 90,000 square feet and producing more than 60,000 fruits each year. The tree is estimated to be more than 1,000 years old.
Boa Viagem Beach Coral Reef
The 4th city on our list of World Cup Host Cities is Recife, capital city of Pernambuco. It is the 5th largest metropolitan area in Brazil with approximately 3.7 Million people and a serves as a major port city for Brazil on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It's name is derived from the Portuguese word for reef and has some of the most scenic coral reefs in all of Brazil. The Zona Sul (Or South Zone) of the city is where the most picturesque reefs reside. The Boa Viagem Beach, rich with pristine white sands, is the longest urbanized stretch of beach in Brazil and is protected by a coral reef wall.

United States 2014 FIFA World Cup Jerseys
2014 World Cup United States Home Jerseys
The United States Soccer Team Home jerseys for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil were released earlier this month. The World Cup jerseys were designed by Nike, and are a bit of a departure from the jerseys worn in the last World Cup by the United States. The new home jerseys for this year are almost solid white aside from the US Soccer and Nike logos on the front. The new home jersey is a collared shirt that has red trim along the collar and sleeves. The shorts and socks are also completely white. The exact same uniform design will be used for both the Men's and Women's United States World Cup jerseys. They were showcased on March 5th, 2014 in a exhibition game Vs Ukraine in Larnaca, Cyprus.
The creative director for Nike, Martin Lotti, said the following about the new United States World Cup Jerseys "The new kit clearly showcases the USA's national pride and distinct sense of style, while also capturing the nations eternal optimism". To further spotlight the United States' national pride the phrase "One Nation. One Team." is overlayed into the back lettering of the jersey in the players last name. However, this phrase is only visible when exposed to UV light, so this is not going to be a very eye catching feature of the new uniform for the 2014 World Cup.
Clint Dempsey, the team captain of the United States National Team, is excited to be wearing the new jersey. When asked about the new home jersey he had the following to say "It's always an honor to wear the colors of your country, and this summer we will be hard to miss in an all-white look."
2014 World Cup United States Away Jerseys
Along with the Home jerseys for the 2014 World Cup, the Away jerseys have also been released. The away kit is much more more visually appealing with a solid blue collar area, a white strip around the chest (on the front only) and the bottom of the jersey is all red. The back of the jersey will be all solid red. On the front the white stripe will have the players number placed in the center. Unlike the Home kit, the away jersey will be collarless.
All in all, the 2014 United States World Cup jerseys are rather plain, but still manage to be quite attractive. We can't wait to see them on the pitch in the upcoming World Cup in Brazil!
2014 FIFA World Cup Information
The 2014 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place June 12th, 2014 thru July 13th, 2014 in Brazil. The official slogan for the 2014 FIFA World Cup is ALL IN ONE RHYTHM™. It is more than just a slogan however, it is the underlying mindset and theme that is evident throughout all levels of the event organization.

The official mascot for the 2014 FIFA World Cup is Fuleco the Armadillo – As pictured to the left. The voting process for the official 2014 World Cup Mascot was a three month long campaign that was supported by Coca-Cola. Fuleco won the voting with 48% of the vote followed by Zuzeco with 31% of the vote and Amijubi with 21% of the vote, making Fuleco the unanimous winner. One of the most important themes of the 2014 FIFA World Cup is the importance of the environment and ecology. As an Armadillo, which is a vulnerable species, the name Fuleco is a combination of the words "futebol" and "ecologia". This combination is intended to communicate the importance of behaving in an environmentally friendly manner. (For more information about Fuleco, visit http://mascot.fifa.com/about.php)

Comedian Brad Williams recently took to Twitter to share a photo of himself, Sal Vulcano from Impractical Jokers and SmackDown Live Superstar Luke Harper. Both men had been at his latest show and stopped backstage to take a photo together with him.
In the photo, Harper has a cast around his left hand. He doesn't appear to be in any pain, and it seems that the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion is smiling beneath his beard. However, this appears to have been a recent injury.
Harper has been off TV since he and Bludgeon Brothers partner Erick Rowan lost their SmackDown Tag Team Championships to The New Day. This is because Rowan is dealing with an injury. However, it now appears that Harper is joining his buddy on the shelf.
It is unknown how long ago this injury occurred, or how complex it is. This may potentially even be a minor injury. However, it does appear that the former Wyatt Family member will be out for the time being.
Are you a fan of the Bludgeon Brothers? Let us know your thoughts, opinions, and reactions in those comments below.

All-Black, all-female World War II battalion to be awarded Congressional Gold Medal (Reprint)
Black History News around the Web
"They never got a salute," a daughter of one of the women said.
By Deena Zaru
The only all-Black, all-female battalion to serve in World War II in the U.S. and in Europe (was) awarded the Congressional Gold Medal after President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan bill on Monday, March 14.

(National Archives and Records Administration)
The bill, which was co-sponsored by the entire New Hampshire delegation, seeks to honor the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the "Six Triple Eight" — a group of Black women who raised the morale of millions by sorting and routing mail for American service members and civilians in Europe and the United States.
"We helped each other. We worked with each other," retired Maj. Fanny Griffin McClendon, who served as a supervisor in the battalion, told ABC News last month after the Senate passed the bill, which has now been signed into law by Biden.
Only six members of the battalion are believed to be alive today, including McClendon, who is 101 years old.
"It never occurred to me that we would even be considered for a medal of any kind," McClendon said.
The battalion returned home from the war with no fanfare, but some have been advocating for the women of "Six Triple Eight" to be honored for years.
"They never got a parade, they never got a salute," said Brenda Partridge-Brown, the daughter of Willie Bell Irvin, who served in the battalion.

Partridge-Brown told ABC News last month that she only became aware that her mother was a part of the battalion after a Google search 20 years after her mother's death.
"I can't explain to you what I felt that day. My heart almost stopped," she said.
The battalion, which was created in 1944, eventually included 824 enlisted Black women and 31 officers from the Women's Army Corps, the Army Service Forces and the Army Air Forces.
The battalion was created at a time when there was a shortage of qualified postal officers and mail was beginning to pile up, according to the U.S. Army Center of Military History.
For example, in February 1945 in Birmingham, England, warehouses were filled with millions of undelivered pieces of mail.

"Servicemembers noticed that they weren't getting mail from home, and Army officials reported that the lack of reliable mail delivery was hurting morale," per the U.S. Army Center of Military History, with a general predicting that it would take six months to process a backlog of mail, including Christmas packages.
That is when the U.S. military turned to the Women's Army Corps, which was created in 1943 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Only white women were initially admitted, but following a push from first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights leader Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, Black women were eventually admitted, although segregation continued, according to the ACMH.
Following recruitment efforts, the "Six Triple Eight" battalion was created under the command of Maj. Charity Edna Adams, who would later become a lieutenant colonel and change her last name to Earley after getting married.
The battalion trained at Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia, per ACMH, and set out on its first trip to Britain on Feb. 3, 1945.
The women endured difficult working conditions, including intense cold, and even faced some instances of racial bias and sexist treatment, including "hostility and rumors impugning their character spread by both white and black male soldiers who resented the fact that black women were allowed in the Army," according to the ACMH.
For Partridge-Brown, honoring the women and their contributions to their country is long overdue.
"It just means the world to me to know that my mother's service was not in vain," she said.

HomeNational NewsArizona Takes Lead in Proposing New State Election Integrity Laws
Arizona Takes Lead in Proposing New State Election Integrity Laws
June 22, 2021 AFP Editor National News 0
By AFP Staff
One good thing to come from the chaos surrounding the 2020 election and the spate of audits that followed in states like Arizona and Georgia is the current push for election reform legislation. Whatever happens in states that were pivotal in the last presidential election, legislators are now doing a deep dive into election integrity to ensure that only legal votes are counted in the future.
For example, the Arizona state Senate recently passed S.B. 1241, which will require signature verification on ballots, as well as a number of other security measures.
No one is allowed near servers or hard drives that contain election-related data are stored unless the person is preapproved by election officials;
County election officials will have to compare signatures on mail-in ballots with signatures on electors' registration records;
Signature corrections will be limited to a few days after any election based on whether it is federal or local;
A list of all voters who were issued early ballots will be sent to the election board of the precinct in which each voter is registered for the purpose of checking them;
No voting machine will have access to the Internet at any time to limit hacking; and
Strict chain-of-custody documentation will be maintained at all times over all ballot images.
One important aspect of S.B. 1241 is that county recorders will now be obligated to refer voters for "possible investigation" to prosecutors if they fail to remedy, or "cure," a mismatched signature. As it is now, the recorder contacts a voter if there is a problem with the signature. That voter could face charges of election fraud if they are unwilling to work with the county officials.
It is not clear currently if S.B. 1241 will be passed by the state House in the coming weeks and or will be signed by Gov. Doug Ducey (R), but some local news reports predict it will.
Republicans in the Pennsylvania state House are currently moving ahead with their own election reform measure, H.B. 1300, the Voting Rights Protection Act. The bill seeks to bring integrity back to the elections in that state after the disastrous 2020 election that included so-called "no excuses voting" where millions of Pennsylvanians were mailed ballots with little to no verification if they were even legally allowed to vote.
Among other things, Republicans want to eliminate "no excuses voting" as well as giving counties more money to organize elections, early in-person voting starting in 2025 and allowing counties to begin processing, or pre-canvassing, mail-in ballots five days before Election Day.
Legislatures in a dozen other states are also working on election integrity bills that ramp up voter identification requirements and reduce the potential for fraud.


The "Weekly Word Of IMPACT", is a weekly word of encouragement written by Pastor Dale Campfield.
"The Bottom Line," the essence of this phrase is, when it all boils down, what's left? We desire to know the bottom line with our expenditures, our philosophies, our relationships, and even our doctrinal beliefs. We all want to know what's at stake when we make decisions and the actions that will follow those decisions.
Allow me to share with you what I believe the true bottom line of every aspect of life is as you endeavor to make an IMPACT in the world in which you live. The bottom line is... how many souls in life will you impact in such a fashion that they will experience Jesus Christ as their personal savior?
As we've experienced in the recent tragedies around the world with iconic structures coming to ruin, everything as we know it is eventually going to be destroyed. None of it will last forever. The only thing that will last throughout eternity is the souls of all mankind! Therefore, how many of these souls will you truly impact for the Kingdom of God throughout eternity?
Every decision we make, ALL of them, must be made with the thought in mind, "How will the results of this decision affect the lives of the people around me?" Work through the answers to that question, and then decide if it's worth it or not.
I am convinced that everything in life has some type of spiritual significance. When it all boils down, it's all about souls!
You watch... You wait... You'll see!

We've previously covered how to find broken links on your site, but if your site is huge, then it's a painful chore to go through and fix all of the relevant links. However, if you're a self hosted WordPress user, we have a great plugin to share with you.
Broken Link Checker will run through all the links on your site and see whether it can reach them or not. It will gather the links together and tell you what the error code was – if you're not sure what HTTP status codes mean, there's a list over on Wikipedia that's really useful. In the most basic sense though, sites giving a 404 error don't exist any more, and sites with a 403 error may still exist but are rejecting the connection request from the plugin – for those, you just need to open the link and see if it works.
One feature we especially like is the ability to amend the link – it might be that you mistyped the link when you entered it and didn't check, so the link has been broken for a while. If you were linking to a specific blog post, then there's a really useful feature that will see if archive.org has a copy of that blog post.
This is so useful, I didn't realise how easy it would be! I thought I was going to have to check through each of my blog posts individually.

Disappeared but not Forgotten: Statement in Commemoration of International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances
Democracy | Human Rights
National Transitional Justice Working Group (NTJWG)
Every year on 30 August, the National Transitional Justice Working Group (NTJWG) joins fellow Zimbabweans, the local human rights community, and the rest of the world in commemorating the United Nations International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances. The commemoration of this day serves to call upon all governments across the world to have a firm commitment to combating impunity for enforced disappearances, to speak up against the practice and tolerance of enforced disappearances which undermine the respect for the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms. The commemoration of this day also draws attention to the fate of individuals who disappeared at the hands of the state and those whose whereabouts are unknown to their families, legal representatives and the nation as a whole.
In Zimbabwe, activists, human rights defenders, journalists and members of the opposition political parties have often become victims of enforced disappearances, a tactic that is often used to silence opposition and criticism. According to the United Nations, in 2019 alone 49 cases of abductions and torture were reported in Zimbabwe, without investigations leading to perpetrators being held to account.
In 2020, this disturbing trend continued, and it was reported that three female opposition activists Joanna Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marowa had been forcibly disappeared in Harare, assaulted and dumped 48 hours after their abduction. Following their enforced disappearance, the trio was arrested and persecuted for speaking out about their experience amidst accusations of lying about their ordeal. Equally disturbing was the abduction of a second-year media student Tawanda Mucheihwa who was abducted in Bulawayo on 30 July 2020, a day before planned demonstrations which had been called by what is now known as the July 31 Movement. Despite evidence pointing to the involvement of a local popular car hire company, no meaningful investigations have been carried out and no arrests have been made.
Zimbabwe's history of violence is characterised by enforced disappearances as seen during the Gukurahundi massacres in the Matabeleland and Midlands provinces in rom early 1983 to late 1987 and during the various epochs of lection related violence. Despite the overwhelming evidence of enforced disappearances, the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) has often dismissed reports of cases of enforced disappearances without thoroughly investigating the cases. As a result, perpetrators are not held accountable for their actions. Zimbabwe has neither signed nor ratified the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances which puts an obligation upon state parties to take appropriate measures to criminalise enforced disappearance, investigate occurrences and prosecute the perpetrators. This reluctance to ratify international instruments prohibiting enforced disappearances has only served to encourage a culture of impunity and injustice for victims and survivors of enforced disappearances and their families.
As the nation pursues national healing and reconciliation there must be accountability, truth-telling and justice for the victims, survivors of enforced disappearances and their families. There must also be deliberate efforts to put in place measures to guarantee non-recurrence.
The NTJWG therefore calls for the following:
Ratification and domestication of the International Convention on Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances by the GoZ
The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission together with the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission must carry out a transparent and independent investigations of the circumstances surrounding unsolved cases enforced disappearances such as the case of Itai Dzamara who was forcibly disappeared in 2015.
The GoZ should criminalise enforced disappearances with a high penalty for the perpetrators.
The National Prosecuting Authority must prosecute all perpetrators of enforced disappearances.
The National Peace and Reconciliation Commission must provide platforms for victims, survivors of enforced disappearances and their families to discuss their experiences to bring closure and healing.

Safe Harbor turns at-risk teenage boys into mature and dependable young men. Boys who are trained at Safe Harbor may be caught up in depression, anger, behavioral and academic issues, minor drug use or trouble with the law, or the upheaval of a loss in their life. Typically, boys who are struggling need help gaining a less narrow view of the world, one not so centered on themselves or keeping up with their peers.

The boys (many have come from Villa Rica, Georgia) reside on board vessels at this waterfront boarding school. They gain mastery in boating on the ocean and rivers while building respect for self and others, self-reliance, perseverance, and much more. Each teenager who successfully completes Safe Harbor learns to captain his own vessel, both literally and figuratively.
Registering Boys from Villa Rica, Georgia, Safe Harbor is Boarding School in Florida with Year-Round Education
At Safe Harbor, practical knowledge holds as much weight as academic knowledge. In addition to all aspects of boating and seamanship, we offer vocational training in several topics, including woodworking, boat refurbishing, navigation, log keeping and map reading, welding, engine repair, and basic electrical skills.
Normal high school classes run year-round and can be accelerated, letting students catch up wherever they may have fallen behind academically. Boys who graduate Safe Harbor earn a Florida high school diploma, and a lot of them go on to two-year and four-year colleges.
We also believe boys should be able to handle basic life skills.

Our goal is to make your boy respectful, self-reliant, confident, and competent.

The Aeronca K was introduced in 1937, making its formal debut on the east coast at the New York Aircraft Show held in January and on the west coast at the Los Angeles Air Show in March. The plane was an immediate hit and dealers all over the country were filing orders. By November, Aeronca was building three Model Ks per day and the airplanes were shipped out, cramming six complete Aeronca Ks in a boxcar.
As a cheap, economical airplane, the Aeronca K soon appeared on the flight line of many flying schools, as well as in the hands of private pilots all over the country. The fuselage was built up of welded steel tubing, faired to shape with wooden formers and fairing strip, then fabric covered. The bench-type seat could accommodate two people and a baggage shelf behind the seat could hold up to 20 pounds. The cabin was completely enclosed with Pyralin windows and upholstered with serviceable fabrics. The wing framework was built up of solid spruce spar beams with spruce and plywood truss-type wing ribs. The powerplant was a 42 hp Aeronca E-113-CB engine.
