A new day may be dawning for Shaw Heights.
A dawn that, for the residents of that community, follows a decades-long night of urban decay and neglect.
Several residents, including Joseph Tolley, who has lived inside the community for 48 years, said it's about time someone did something before the old neighborhood becomes just another faceless subdivision inside the city limits of Fayetteville.
Tolley also said that requests for upgrades to the community, which is home to about 1,300 people, fell on deaf ears when past commissioners were asked to do something.
The area addressed by the Shaw Heights Land Use Plan is on the edge of the Fayetteville city limits and is bordered by Fort Bragg on three sides. Shaw Heights contains about 340 acres and is a quilt of 100 individual properties — each parcel with an individual owner. Seventy-two percent of the parcels are residential, while 8 percent are commercial and 21 percent are unoccupied; 89 percent of the structures in Shaw Heights were built before 1969. According to statistics compiled by the county, the community is a predominantly lower-income neighborhood with an older population that is shrinking — from 1990 through 2000, Shaw Heights' population decreased 42 percent and the total number of houses decreased 17 percent. More than half of the properties are rentals and 65 percent of the community's residents are ages 20-64.
In one positive aside, it was pointed out that the crime rate has declined 87 percent in the community. However, Tolley gave a not quite so rosy rebuttal to that statistic.
"The crime has gone down because there are 200 fewer families living there," said Tolley.
There is no time line set for implementing the changes, especially when it comes to needed sewer lines; in a catch-22 of sorts, the plan calls for the construction of sewer lines to upgrade the community — but sewer lines can't be built until upgrades are made, because it's not known how the upgrades will affect the layout of the properties. Caught in this same umbrella of uncertainty is the future of Shaw Road. The land use plan calls for straightening the road in order to compensate for an especially dangerous curve running through Shaw Heights. However, the North Carolina Department of Transportation has not funded the project, and it will not be considered for funding until after 2015.
Sherry Osteen, who has lived on that dangerous curve for years, says she's seen too many die there.
Osteen said she has asked for a signal light to be put there for years, but to no avail.
Blackwell said the county would look into immediately placing reflectors on the dangerous curve to warn drivers.
In other action, the county also unanimously approved the demolition of the Town & Country Motel, which burned about a year ago. According to Cumberland County Inspector George Hatcher, the motel — located at 935 Hollywood Blvd. — would have required about $300,000 in repairs to make it suitable for human habitation.
The motel's owner, Manoj Patel, voluntarily agreed to the demolition, as she doesn't have the money to restore the building.
The first motion by the commissioners was to have the motel demolished in 60 days, but County Commissioner Vice Chair Jennette Council asked if it could be done sooner, since the property, located off Hwy. 301, is a "gateway" to Fayetteville.
After Hatcher told the board he had a demolition crew ready to start "tomorrow," the commissioners unanimously agreed to the demolition beginning within 15 days.


Everyone has random memories that spark nostalgia and bring a smile to their faces. Whether an individual is recalling the taste of a family recipe, the rush of learning to ride a bicycle, a particular song, photograph or movie scene, nostalgia can not only impact an individual's mood, but also influence thought processes and decision making.
Consumers tend to respond differently to advertisements that elicit feelings of nostalgia as opposed to traditional, straight-forward advertising. Positioning messages around first dates and first cars, or with familiar scenes of baseball games and family camping trips, can elicit positive responses from consumers. Armed with this knowledge, advertisers leverage nostalgia-based messaging to create positive associations with a brand or specific product. It is a powerful tool.
Even though this approach can affect purchasing behavior by influencing brand associations or product evaluations, companies must understand how to successfully implement it. Nostalgia does not always elicit positive thoughts.
Unexpected effects can occur for various reasons, including a person's emotional state and/or current situation. These factors impact a person's reaction to an advertisement due to "affect-transferring" – namely, how a person's mood affects the influence of an advertisement. A person who is already upset due to a problem at work, for example, is less likely to be affected positively by a nostalgic advertisement than someone who just finished an important project. Advertisers cannot control factors affecting that person's existing emotions, but they can prime consumers at the time of exposure. Advertisers may strategically influence consumer mood or positive response by utilizing headlines or content that promote humor or optimism, or by placing advertisements in specific magazines or during certain television programs.
A negative association can also occur when a scene leads people to realize they never actually had the experience depicted. An individual may attempt to personalize the moment presented, even if he never actually experienced the time or activity. Upon seeing scenes of a carnival, for example, a person may realize he missed out on this childhood experience and associate a feeling of sadness with the brand.
Although ads that connect with people on a personal level are generally more successful, advertisers may aim to create a more general feeling of nostalgia that can apply to a larger group of people, increasing the chance that viewers will experience it. This can be accomplished by researching a target market, thus allowing the marketer to consider strategies that will reach as many potential customers as possible. Advertisers also can identify people, places and items that will connect with the majority of a target market, increasing the likelihood of an advertisement's success. Types of nostalgia that emphasize collective types of experiences, such as holidays and family events, may be more suitable in advertising applications.
Nostalgia advertising can be a successful and powerful tool for companies if executed correctly. While an element of unpredictability is always present, it is important to create broad appeal advertisements and ensure their placement matches the feeling a company wants to evoke. The success of nostalgic advertising depends on the emotions associated with the retrieved memories, and advertisers must do what they can to ensure a positive outcome.

As I was preparing lunch this afternoon, Hit me Like a Bomb by Third Day came on. Lyrics video From the first time I heard this song, which wasn't too long after Christian passed away, the lyrics became personal.
I knew Christian wasn't doing well. His overall health was declining rapidly over the last 6 months of his life, whether I wanted to see it or not. We knew we had to take him to the doctor and probably the hospital, but we didn't think we were going to lose him that night almost 10 months ago. When I went into his room to wake him up for the day, I was hit by the biggest bomb ever. Our life as we knew it – forever changed.
I lost my son, my best friend, my hero and my life as I knew it. Everything changed, including how I looked at life. Life is still changing, rearranging. Everything I ever knew up to that point no longer mattered.
As time has moved on, we have been healing in our own ways but we will never be the same. Christian made us appreciate the small things, even something as simple as seeing a bird outside of the window or a spot of sunlight on the wall. Because of him, no matter how much the darkness enfolds me, I will NEVER give up. I have moments when I feel angry and I question God about Christian's pain and suffering. I remind myself of God's love, provision, mercy and grace so the anger isn't able to fester and make me bitter. I would rather heal and live the life Christian so much wanted to live but wasn't able to.
This song by Third Day has a rock sound to it and plenty of energy. Let me know what you think!

An outdoor screening, marking the end of Christian Flamm's exhibition Künstlerhaus Stuttgart and Mike Sperlinger's film programme The End of Selling Out.
As two parallel strands of a project, Flamm's exhibition and Mike Sperlinger's film programme loop back to a historical conflict in cultural production. That is, to subversion and techniques of disappointment – strategies and attitudes with a particular set of histories, remainders, and subsumptions. These shifts in the moral grounds of artistic production were conjured up in Künstlerhaus Stuttgart through a combination of second thoughts, paintings from memory and a programme of moving image presented in three chapters – The Target Shoots First, The Future of Exploitation and Can Artists Sell Out?. The final get together lifts out two films from the programme, both engaging with questions of survivalism, inner necessity and aspiration by Oliver Payne/Nick Relph and Jay Chung/Q Takeki Maeda.


This week, Bloom had the opportunity to interview Marc Vorkapich, the Chief Executive Officer of Watercrest Senior Living Group, LLC, to learn more about how Watercrest Senior Living and Market Street are changing the lives of their residents.
What sparked your interest to enter the senior living industry?
My calling to serve seniors began 26 years ago while volunteering in residential care when an elderly woman who since became very close to me said, "All of my life I have been the life of the party, and in this place, I am invisible." During the following weeks, declining health quieted her voice and for, a moment, my own. Growing from this experience instilled a heartfelt passion for making a real life difference in the lives of seniors.
What makes Watercrest Senior Living special?
People. At Watercrest Senior Living there is a heartfelt focus on welcoming, caring for, and serving seniors. We believe our associates are our best investment and that our collective values will determine the extent to which our company's vision will be realized. We follow through with this sentiment by celebrating our associate's core values on their nametags (replacing titles), offering paid time off for volunteerism, collaborating in the development of personalized career maps, and providing unparalleled servant leadership training and appreciation programs.
What do you do that no other organization does?
Watercrest feels blessed to be in an industry that attracts gifted hearts to serve a purpose greater than ourselves. Our strategic business plan and vertically integrated company uniquely positions Watercrest as an innovative and responsive provider designing, developing, marketing, and operating best in class in assisted living and memory care communities. This deliberate structure and meaningful growth platform provides opportunities for senior living's rising stars to gain valuable experience in all business segments while working together to redefine the senior living experience.
Are there any upcoming projects you are most excited about?
Yes! We have multiple exciting projects underway in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. We are looking forward to 4-6 new properties coming online each year under the Watercrest and Market Street brands.
How do the Watercrest Platinum Standards differentiate you from other communities?
Watercrest's Platinum Standards derive from years of collaboration with residents, families, and associates to identify what truly makes a difference in the lives of seniors. Our team's commitment to raising the bar in each market we serve through increased training and staffing requirements uniquely equips our values-centered associates to deliver a higher level of service than is traditionally provided.
We are often reminded of the importance of language in our literature and conversation. How has Watercrest Senior Living approached culture change in senior living?
Our approach to culture change in senior living is focused on practical applications of servant leadership organized within a comprehensive leadership program we refer to as the RISE model.
The RISE model, itself, acts as a guideline addressing how to create a climate for purposeful change, build widespread capabilities and long term commitment, identify a sustainable competitive advantage, and build a "common unity" of shared purpose and associate engagement.
We noticed you offer wine tasting. Can you tell us more about this? What other unique programming opportunities do you offer residents to add value and improve quality of life?
Elegance and luxury should not be sacrificed once you move into assisted living. In keeping with our Platinum Standard of resort style dining, Watercrest is about providing choices while indulging all of your senses.
A variety of wines are part of the Watercrest experience to be enjoyed in our intimate bistro or while relaxing poolside before dinner. Whether sipping on our Watercrest private label crisp Chardonnay or rich Cabernet Sauvignon from California's Central Coast, or tasting wines paired with flatbreads, charcuterie or scrumptious desserts, your senses will be enlivened.
Watercrest residents enjoy memorable events such as the Arnold Palmer Classic, Continuing Education courses and lecture series through our partnerships with local Universities, and chauffeured evenings on the town as a group or a more private evening out in our Mercedes Benz.
Our Market Street Memory Care Residences also offer world-class care, multi-sensory programming, extraordinary culinary experiences, and unparalleled associate training honoring seniors and their families. Through our unique approach to Memory Care, residents continue to enjoy diverse lifestyle choices including cultural arts, musical performances and maintaining faith and spiritual connections locally.
What advice do you have for communities looking to implement culture change?
Be transparent and humble in the quest to discover reality and the consequence of staying put.
Dream to share a purpose with one another.
Emphasize the development of Servant leaders.
Since we like to end on a sweet note: what is your favorite ice cream flavor, and why?
Definitely mint chocolate chip on a sugar cone because my grandma used to get that for me when we went to the beach together.

Investment in Brunswick factory to create jobs
David CharlesworthSouth Western Times
Sat, 17 March 2018 6:39AM
A $10 million injection to kickstart cheese production at Brownes' Brunswick dairy factory was announced this week, bringing it back to full capacity over the next five years and jobs along with it.
The investment for the factory will see production increase over the next three to five years to reach the facility's 6000 tonne a year capacity, using about 60 million litres of milk.
Most of the cheese produced will be exported to China with a small amount to be sold in WA.
Brunswick resident and WA Farmers Dairy president Michael Partridge said it was great to see an investment in manufacturing for the dairy industry.
"Managing seasonal variation will be more efficient with an upgraded cheese plant," he said.
"It's not going to ramp up State production, it's about managing what we've got and handling a little bit of growth."
Harvey shire president Tania Jackson said she had not expected it but had hoped investment would follow the company's acquisition last year.
"With the change in ownership there was always a factor of new investment in the site," she said.
"It's been an important part of the Brunswick community for decades."
When it reaches full capacity the facility is expected to employ 20 full-time staff.
Cr Jackson said she hoped local jobs would return with a lot of experience still present from those previously made redundant.
"I would hope, along with the technological improvements, that we'll see local jobs in the Brunswick community," she said.
Brownes Dairy managing director Tony Girgis said the Chinese Government gave regulatory approval for Brownes to export cheese last week, with the first big shipments going to China this spring.
The $10 million upgrade will include installing a system to dry the whey, with production leaning towards a system using it to make a nutritious animal-grade feed.
The factory increased cheese production to 300 tonnes last year, which was required to receive licences.
In 2014, 23 of the 37 Brunswick staff were made redundant after Brownes centralised its cultured production centre to Balcatta.
In August last year, Brownes was sold by private equity company Archer Capital to a Chinese consortium lead by dairy giant Shanghai Ground Food Tech.

If you're not new to the safety game, it might seem redundant or unnecessary to define EHS. But in the midst of new regulations and ever-evolving tools and technology, it can be easy to forget what EHS is and where it's heading which is in the field.
What does an Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Manager do?
Of course, if you are an EHS professional you know what you responsible for but for people new to a safety position this is helpful. EHS (or SHE, or HSE!) Managers are responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing their organization's safety program and procedures.
As you can imagine, some of these tasks are easier said than done! We're going to break this article down to cover some of the more complex responsibilities in this list and how mobile technology can make data gathering easy.
First, EHS managers need to have a firm grasp of all applicable required safety regulations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has developed hundreds of standards that apply to a wide range of businesses and industries. These rules address a variety of workplace hazards, such as electrical hazards, toxic chemicals and substances, fall hazards, machine hazards, infectious diseases, and fire hazards. EHS professionals must be able to identify which federal and state standards their organization is required to comply with.
In addition, EHS managers also need to keep their eye on NEW rule making. Twice a year, the Department of Labor publishes a list of all standards and regulations in the Federal Register that are being worked on. These regulatory agendas are published in the fall and the spring and provide employers and interested parties with a means to track the progress of new or changing rules. Reviewing these agendas can help you to better prepare for upcoming changes and new rule making, so that you're not playing catch up when they're released.
Luckily, many safety software solutions (like ProcessMAP!) include built in features to assist organizations in achieving regulatory compliance. For example, ProcessMAP's EHS management software ensures that its incident reporting module and its standard inspection templates meet OSHA requirements.
The right EHS software will also offer a configurable design so that you can easily modify forms and reports to meet additional compliance regulations from other agencies or countries. With the rise of international standards such as ISO 45001, EHS managers need to start thinking globally, not just locally, when it comes to compliance. ProcessMAP is well versed in helping Global Companies with their compliance and reporting needs.
Historically, risk management wasn't always a significant focus of an EHS manager's job. However, that's changing rapidly as more and more EHS professionals introduce risk management approaches into their safety programs.
In a recent survey polled over 300 EHS professionals to learn more about the top priorities, challenges, and trends in safety management. 78% of respondents named risk management as a top factor in ensuring EHS success.
You can also turn to EHS management software for an effective framework of assessing and mitigating safety risks. ProcessMAP's Risk Assessment module allows you to record and analyze hazards using a configurable risk matrix.
EHS managers lead safety meetings to remind new and current employees of workplace safety procedures and EHS policies. Employees focus so much on getting their work done that they might forget some of the rules that are in place for handling certain situations. One mistake could lead to an injury, so reviewing safety policies and procedures in regular safety meetings can help a great deal.
Generally, workplace safety meetings can cover a range of topics. The information that an EHS manager will review varies depending on the industry and the specific type of work performed at a location.
No matter what's discussed, a good safety meeting should get employees thinking. During the meeting, EHS managers should encourage workers to come up with ideas and suggestions for minimizing the hazards with which they are most familiar.
These meetings are intended to be brief so that employees can better retain the information discussed. Most meeting topics can be covered in 15 to 30 minutes. Ending the meeting with a quiz or Q&A session are also good ways to reinforce covered material.
When assessing your employees or having your employee assess each other can have a significant positive impact on your safety culture. For instance work positioning is the number one issue when it comes to claims is soft tissue injury especially with craft or trade employees. You can conduct Peer to Peer or Peer to group observations. This works great when you are out in the field. Collection of these observation and then any action or corrective items assigned will keep your workers healthy and safe.
Many OSHA standards contain explicit training requirements so that workers have the needed skills to keep themselves and others safe and most of the training is an annual requirement. These meetings can be delivered in many ways but the most predominant way is instructor led.
With automated reporting, EHS professionals can swiftly determine the areas of their organization that are up to date with training requirements, which areas that need improvement, and can use this data to make informed decisions about their organization's training program.
If you have your employees report near miss from the field this will pay for itself in the long run. Knowing what could happen and gathering this important information can help you create better work processes will help you to close the gap on recordable incidents. With ProcessMAP mobile Incident Management application you can collect these near miss from the field quickly. Its all about the data gathering, reviewing the trend analysis and take corrective actions.
Nobody wants workplace injuries and illnesses to occur, but when they do, EHS professionals are responsible for investigating each incident and developing corrective actions to prevent a recurrence.
The first thing EHS managers should do when arriving at the site of an incident is to secure the area and provide any necessary assistance. An incident scene is often extremely chaotic, but EHS managers should try as much as possible to preserve the work area as it was at the time of the accident. EHS managers should then identify employees that witnessed the incident and interview them separately to learn more about what has occurred. Next, the EHS professional should document the scene and create an incident investigation report.
Incident investigation can be improved with mobile incident management software, and which can even lead to preventing future workplace incidents. With mobile technology, EHS professionals can easily record their findings and take photos while they're at the scene of the accident. Incident data can be uploaded and shared with key team members as soon as an internet connection is available. Safety software can also send automatic alerts to key team members immediately after an incident is reported. Automated updates can also be sent out to employees and supervisors as the investigation progresses.
Depending on the severity of the incident, EHS managers must also then record the incident on the appropriate OSHA recordkeeping logs or report the incident directly to OSHA which is easy with e file from ProcessMAP.
How can EHS Managers make their jobs easier?
As you can see, EHS managers definitely wear a lot of hats! Today, EHS managers are facing increased pressure to improve safety and operational performance with fewer resources. This "more with less" mentality means EHS managers need to be strategic on how they're spending their dollars.
As covered above, by investing in EHS management software, EHS professionals can save themselves valuable time, employee lives and equipment which is an easy return on your software investment.

Ooki Protocol (OOKI) Price Prediction 2023 to 2030
Due to the unpredictability of the market, 2022 saw a rapid collapse in the price of cryptocurrencies. Despite this decline, several industry professionals remain optimistic for a long-term bull market. One initiative to watch is the Ooki Protocol (OOKI). A decentralized application network called OOKI combines the Internet of Things, smart contracts, and cryptocurrencies. Because it is constructed on top of the Ethereum network, it is a fantastic long-term investment. Here is a look at OOKI's anticipated pricing range from 2023 to 2030 bearing that in mind.
Ooki Protocol is anticipated to cost $1.06 by 2023. This forecast is based on expected increases in institutional and retail investment as well as the Ethereum network's ongoing expansion. The project's capacity to simplify the use of cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and the Internet of Things positions it to have a significant growth potential. Additionally, the Ooki Protocol's open architecture offers the possibility of future development. These all point to a promising future growth potential, one that might see OOKI reach double digits in the years to come.
1 Price Prediction for OOKI in 2024
Price Prediction for OOKI in 2024
The cost of OOKI in 2024 may range from $1.50 to $2.20. This prognosis is upbeat because of the Ethereum network's ongoing expansion and the rise in institutional and retail investment. Additionally, the Ooki Protocol has declared intentions to introduce a new platform for connecting the various ecosystems for its customers. This might increase the platform's usefulness and fuel a rise in OOKI demand.
The cost of OOKI can rise to $4.81 by 2025. This is due to the fact that the Ethereum network is anticipated to incorporate more cutting-edge technologies over the course of the next few years, such as sharding and zero-knowledge proofs, which could result in a spike in demand for OOKI. It's also conceivable that more businesses may begin utilizing the platform and developing software that makes use of the Ooki Protocol's technologies. With the help of all these elements, OOKI may be able to maintain its outstanding growth.
Ooki might cost $6.92 by 2026. It appears likely that the platform will keep its place in the market given how quickly it has emerged as one of the most promising projects created on the Ethereum network. Additionally, the platform's open design enables the construction of additional developments and applications on top of its infrastructure. The demand for OOKI could rise with more applications, driving up its cost.
The price of OOKI is anticipated to reach $8.84 in 2027. This is because institutions are supporting the platform more and there is a chance that additional businesses will do the same. The platform has experienced substantial expansion in recent years, and it is expected that this growth will continue in the years to come. Moreover, OOKI might grow even more appealing to investors with the continuous expansion of the Ethereum network.
The cost of Ooki can increase to $9.89 by 2028. The platform ought to have developed by now and established itself as a vital part of several businesses and organizations. This might lead to a further rise in its demand and price. Additionally, the Ethereum platform may become considerably faster and more secure with improvements to the protocol, such as scalability and sharding. The likelihood that investors will receive significant returns on their investments is increased by all of this.
The price of OOKI is anticipated to reach $11.97 by 2029. This is a result of the platform's ongoing development, the potential for new uses, and plans to enhance the Ethereum network. This might have repercussions and drive up the cost of OOKI even more. Due to the protocol's capacity to offer a quick, inexpensive, and secure method of transmitting wealth, demand for it may grow even more.
Finally, OOKI might cost $14.42 by the year 2030. This is partially a result of the platform's expansion and the desire for software that makes use of its technologies. New developments in the Ethereum network may also help the platform's potential to grow even further. By the end of the decade, OOKI might cost $14.42 due to a combination of these variables.
Ooki Protocol has a promising future in general. The Ethereum network's continuing expansion and adoption, as well as additional businesses utilizing the system and its technologies, could make OOKI one of the most well-known and valuable assets out there. Without a doubt, OOKI has the potential to become one of the most successful projects in the world if everything goes as planned.
Between 2023 and 2030, what is the expected price range for Ooki Protocol (OOKI)?
Future cryptocurrency price predictions are often challenging and highly speculative. However, it is anticipated that OOKI will recover from the losses and grow gradually over the following several years given the current market circumstances and the recent fall in 2022. According to numerous expert forecasts and the present price of $0.003478, some believe that by 2030, the price of Ooki Protocol might reach $14.42.
Will the crash of the cryptocurrency market in 2022 have an impact on Ooki Protocol (OOKI)?
Certainly, the 2022 crypto market crisis will have a negative impact on the price of the Ooki Protocol (OOKI). Given the state of the market right now, it is anticipated that the coin's price would increase consistently over time.
What elements will influence the pricing of Ooki Protocol (OOKI) between 2023 and 2030?
In the upcoming years, a number of variables, including international trends, political developments, technological advancements, and adoption, may have an impact on the pricing of Ooki Protocol (OOKI). Additionally, changes in the cryptocurrency market's supply and demand will have a big impact on its price.

Ballard Spahr | tenth Circuit Holds That No Answer is Due When Arbitration Motion is Filed
Tenth Circuit Holds that No Answer is Due When Arbitration Motion is Filed
Rejecting what it called a "novel rationale" by the district court for denying arbitration, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has held that a defendant may file a motion to compel arbitration in lieu of an answer and that the defendant's failure to first answer the plaintiff's complaint before filing the motion is not a proper ground for denying it. The Tenth Circuit's ruling is significant because some judges improperly require a defendant to answer the plaintiff's complaint prior to filing a motion to compel arbitration.
The ruling, issued September 19, 2011, came in Lamkin v. Morinda Properties Weight Parcel, LLC. Ballard Spahr's Salt Lake City office represented Morinda.
In Lamkin, the plaintiffs had contracted to purchase two condominium units to be built by Morinda at The Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah, and paid earnest money deposits to reserve the properties. The purchase contracts included a dispute resolution clause requiring a two-step process of formal mediation and, if necessary, binding arbitration for any disputes relating to the purchase contracts. When a dispute arose, the parties engaged in formal mediation. But, when mediation failed, the plaintiffs filed a diversity suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, rather than initiating arbitration proceedings. Morinda promptly filed a motion to compel arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in lieu of a responsive pleading.
The district court denied the motion to compel arbitration. The court reasoned that the arbitration provision had not been triggered because a dispute did not yet exist between the parties. According to the court, Morinda would have had to file a responsive pleading denying the allegations contained in the plaintiffs' complaint to create a dispute sufficient to trigger arbitration.
The Tenth Circuit reversed, noting that "neither the district court nor plaintiffs [had] cited any authority holding that an arbitrable dispute does not exist unless and until the defendant files a responsive pleading in litigation." The court added that "requiring a party to file an answer denying material allegations in the complaint asserting potential affirmative defenses—in short, formally and substantively engaging in the merits of the litigation—in order to enforce its right not to litigate is a non-sequitur." Finally, the court concluded that "it is pure sophistry to maintain that there was no dispute to arbitrate, within the meaning of the [dispute resolution] provision, when mediation failed."
Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group is nationally recognized for its guidance in structuring and documenting new consumer financial services products, its experience with the full range of federal and state consumer credit laws throughout the country, and its skill in litigation defense and avoidance (including pioneering work in pre-dispute arbitration programs).

1.The system works, sort of, for Disha
It is welcome that the court has granted Disha Ravi bail. It is even more welcome that the judge called the administration's bluff in the open, and defended citizens' freedom of speech, including to a global audience. Additional sessions judge Dharmender Rana, showing commitment to the core values of democracy that seem to have eluded many members of the higher judiciary while hearing bail petitions of people facing gratuitous charges of sedition, made some telling observations. The offence of sedition can't be invoked to minister to the wounded vanity of governments, said the judge. Citizens are conscience-keepers of the government. They cannot be jailed simply because they choose to disagree with State policies.
Creation of a WhatsApp group, or being editor of an innocuous 'toolkit' — essentially, a guide to gain traction — is no offence, the judge observed. What is remarkable is the judge's debunking of the illogical link sought to be established, without any evidence, by Delhi Police between the toolkit on the farmers' cause and the violent actions of some protesters should strike normal people as a rare act of judicial deliverance. So accustomed have they become to all organs of the State marching to the same tune, and moving in the self-same direction set by the executive, that even a single act of independent reasoning, no matter however innocuous, comes across as a brave exception, rather than as routine exercise of reason.
The fact remains that Ravi spent six days in jail for no fault of hers. Youngsters — and, indeed, 'oldsters' — should be more careful of the digital company they keep, lest they be used as pawns by both the genuinely nefarious lot as well as those purportedly protecting the State against them.
2.Cut those levies on Petro-fuels
Retail prices of petrol and diesel have flared up to record levels nationally, driven by heavy taxation of fuels, even as global crude prices harden. Central and state levies on petro-fuels must be rationalised, and stem further buildup of cost-push inflationary pressures. The price of petrol in the National Capital Territory (NCT) is now well over Rs 90 per litre, with central and state taxes amounting to over 60% of the price. Similarly, the price of diesel, the most-used petroleum product by far, in NCT is over Rs 80 per litre, with levies adding up to nearly 55% of the price. In some states, petrol now costs more than Rs 100 a litre. This is not sustainable.
Such high levels of indirect taxes are regressive. RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), in its latest minutes, has called for 'calibrated unwinding' of high retail taxes in the main oil products. True, higher retail taxation of automotive fuels in the backdrop of collapsing global crude prices, in the early stages of the pandemic last year, did make perfect sense, and has, in fact, gainfully shored up revenue amidst the lockdown and subsequent reopening. But central taxes in the retail price of petrol in NCT, which includes basic excise, surcharge, road cess and agri-infra cess, have gone up some 300% from Rs 10.38 per litre in March 2014, to Rs 32.98 per litre in September 2020. Central levies on diesel have gone up some 600% during the like period, from Rs 4.58 per litre to Rs 31.83 per litre. The duties are levied at a specific rate, in terms of rupees per kilolitre, but do need to be pruned going forward.
Further, state retail tax on petrol is about Rs 20 per litre and that on diesel about half that, but both the taxes are ad valorem, linked to product price. It amounts to cascading inefficient tax-on-tax across the value chain. Hence the need to modernise taxation of the main oil products and bring natural gas, petrol and diesel under GST, of course, with a component not eligible for input tax credit. Till then, state-level levies should also take the form of specific duties.
3.Beyond bail for Disha Ravi: The much misused sedition law must be scrapped
In a stinging censure of the Delhi Police case against Disha Ravi, additional sessions judge Dharmender Rana said that not even an iota of evidence had been brought to his notice connecting the perpetrators of the violence on January 26 with the accused or with the Poetic Justice Foundation.
The court noted both the "blemish free" antecedents of the 22-year-old young woman and that PJF was not a banned organisation, nor was any criminal action pending against its founders. In short, Ravi had been accused of sedition and arrested without it actually being established that her actions had fomented violence. And in court the prosecution was seeking to further restrict her liberty "on the basis of propitious anticipations".
While Ravi has now got bail, the larger picture is that citizens will continue to be accused of sedition on flimsy grounds and deprived of their liberty. The only solution is to scrap the sedition law. That's the only way to stop different governments from exploiting it at the expense of citizens. Governments must also remember, even if this needs reminding again and again, that the right to dissent is firmly enshrined under Article 19 of the Constitution of India. Further, as the court said, freedom of speech and expression includes the right to seek a global audience.
4. Keep it simple: With capacity going unutilised, allow walk-in vaccination. End the Covid scourge
With India on the cusp of a major change in vaccination strategy, government must heed public health experts, including members of its Covid-19 task force, calling for walk-in enrolments instead of pre-registration on the Co-WIN app. The glitches dogging the app weeks after rollout, even contributing to delays in vaccination and inconvenience to those arriving at vaccination sites for their shots, are likely to get worse amid plans for a fivefold scale up to 50,000 daily sessions. Instead, experts are suggesting a simpler walk-in process using Aadhaar to authenticate identity and age, take the jab, followed by a 30-minute wait at the site before leaving.
With less resources expended in real time data reconciliation and tech troubles, the more crucial task of vaccination can be speeded up. Sites must mandatorily share vaccination data with health authorities on a daily basis by aggregating the in-situ data collected, which hardly requires a centralised app with an onerous pre-registration requirement. As India progresses towards building a universal National Digital Health Mission database, apps like Co-WIN might work better in future. Meanwhile, the exigencies of the pandemic require more decentralised models and micro-planning of the sort used in child immunisation.
In the same vein, Centre must ensure that its plans to rope in the private sector to handle up to 50% of vaccinations in the third phase for the 50-plus age group aren't excessively restrictive. This could defeat the purpose of scaling up the number of sessions and spawn the same problem sites face today of low capacity utilisation. A twin-track system where government offers free vaccination to priority groups while the private sector focusses on speed and scale with freedom in pricing and walk-in enrolment for all adult age groups will yield optimum results. India is the world's top vaccine producer and has a vibrant private sector in healthcare. Rather than copying foreign models, it's time to fully leverage these assets to end the Covid scourge.
It's worth recalling the pandemic's early months when mass testing was severely curtailed by excessive regulation that mandated only symptomatic testing and even doctor's prescriptions for testing. If recent capacity utilisation of 26% doesn't show improvement even after allowing walk-in enrolment for the 50-plus age group, the unused capacity can simultaneously vaccinate the general population too. After all, young people are the most potent spreaders. Given that sites are opened on the basis of assured vaccine doses, the goal must be 100% capacity utilisation and zero wastage. Tailor regulations accordingly.
5. On China, the trade dilemma
On Tuesday, Bloomberg, based on provisional figures from the commerce ministry, reported that trade between India and China in 2020 was worth $77.7 billion. This was, do remember, a year marked by the pandemic as well as the border standoff, which had seen India consciously attempt to cut down its economic linkages with China. Yet, as the report said, China, despite a dip in trade volume compared to 2019, was India's top trading partner and Indian imports from China, at $58.7 billion, were higher than imports from the United States and the United Arab Emirates put together. The silver lining is that India's exports to China grew 11% to a little over $19 billion.
The figures reveal four key features of India's political economy, which will shape India's geopolitical posture. First, for all the talk of self-reliance as a goal, India is inextricably linked to not just friendly countries but even potential adversaries in a complex economic web. The dependence on China for a range of goods means that Indian firms will find it hard to develop alternative supply sources in quick time. Neither will Indian consumers find it easy to shift away from cheap Chinese consumer goods they have got used to. Two, the composition of the trade remains a matter of deep concern — while the growth in Indian exports is positive, the trade relationship is skewed in China's favour. This is both because of China's unfair tariff practices and India's own inability to compete effectively.
Three, as the border stand-off eases, especially in Pangong Tso, it is unclear whether India will continue to take a strong stance on economically delinking itself from China — or whether it will go back to business-as-usual. There are indications that progress at the border will result in a gradual, perhaps even linked, resumption of the economic relationship. But both military and economic imperatives dictate that there shouldn't be return to the economic status quo — and the future economic relationship must be more equal. And finally, these figures show how far India has to go in being able to develop a geopolitically autonomous posture. One key reason the US has struggled to deal with an aggressive China is precisely its economic web of interdependence with China. India must continue to do business with China, but on better terms, without compromising its interests.

11/1 Undecided Voters in the 2012 Presidential Election
In Presidential elections some people will always vote for the Democrat and some will always vote for the Republican. But, there's that group of people in the middle who make up their mind as the campaign moves toward Election Day that often decides who wins. The exact proportion of undecided voters varies from campaign to campaign—sometimes voters have a more difficult time deciding who to vote for and as much as 10 to 15% of likely voters are undecided. But in some years, like 2012, voters pick sides early and there are few undecided voters left by Labor Day, the start of the fall campaign. This election season, polls have consistently shown few undecided likely voters. So, who are these people? How much do they matter? If they do vote, in whose direction will they break?
Natalie Jackson
In order to look at these questions, the data from the NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist battleground state polls of Florida, Virginia, and Ohio were combined. This dataset comprises three polls from each state in September and October, two before the debates started and one after, for a total of 9 polls. The combined samples include 11,510 registered voters, of which 1,168–approximately 10%–indicated that they were unsure of their vote preference. About 40% of these respondents chose a side in the follow-up question that asked if they were leaning toward a candidate, but the majority said they were still not sure.
Will the undecideds vote? Perhaps, the single biggest question is whether these people will vote. The answer could hold the key to who wins the election. Undoubtedly, some will stay home. However, of the 1,168 undecided voters in the polls, 61% of them are classified as likely voters. The Marist Poll likely voter model takes into account chance of vote, interest in the election, past voting behavior, and turnout expectations. These undecided voters likely to cast a ballot will probably make a decision at some point, or even at the last minute, and vote. They account for 8% of all likely voters in nine battleground states and could make a difference in the race.[1] In this close race, that is a substantial voting bloc.
Beyond the likely voter classification, there are other factors that point to a substantial number of undecided voters actually casting a ballot. Perhaps, most strikingly, is that 92% of undecided likely voters report having participated in past presidential elections, and 90% say their chance of voting this year is either excellent or good. Sixty-two percent of undecided likely voters also say they are very or somewhat enthusiastic about voting. Over two-thirds—70%– indicate they are very interested in the campaign. These numbers suggest undecided likely voters are not apathetic, uninformed or uninterested. They are genuinely interested in voting—they simply have not decided who to vote for yet.
Who are these undecided voters? This group of voters is not demographically exceptional. Fifty-four percent are women, 52% are married, and 39% are college graduates. Thirteen percent are between the ages of 18 and 29, 26% are between ages 30 and 44, 29% are in the 45-49 age range, and just about a third are over 60. Seventy-six percent identify as white, 10% are African American, and 9% are Latino.
Politically, most of these people are often not committed to a party or ideology. Twenty-two percent identify as Democrats, compared to 15% that identify as Republicans. The largest group, 61%, identify as independents. The same pattern is evident with ideology: 33% are either conservative or very conservative, compared with only 15% who are liberal or very liberal, and the remaining 52% are moderates. Thirteen percent say they support the Tea Party.
Why are they undecided? If these people are engaged, enthusiastic, or, most importantly, likely to vote, why have they not made a decision yet? It is often assumed people who have not decided who to vote for are not paying attention or do not care. The data offer some insights. Of the 92% of current undecided likely voters who voted in the previous presidential election, 59% of them recall voting for President Obama, while only 32% recall voting for Senator McCain. The remainder either thinks they voted for another candidate or cannot recall. But, they divide about Obama's job approval. Thirty-six percent approve of the job he is doing as President and 36% disapprove. The remaining 28% are unsure. Additionally, 53% think the nation is headed in the wrong direction, and only 33% say it is headed in the right one.
Altogether, these results indicate that most of these undecided likely voters are conservatives or moderates, who are dissatisfied with Obama's presidency and the state of the nation. But, these individuals are not fond of Romney either. Romney's favorability rating is upside-down among this group. Only 31% give him a favorable rating and 42% rate him unfavorably. Even among Republicans in this undecided likely voter group, Romney has only a 39% favorability rating and a 32% unfavorable one.
Who will they vote for? As noted, about 40% of undecided voters provided an answer when asked if they lean toward one candidate or another. Although the majority of undecided likely voters still say they do not know, 25% state they lean toward Obama, and 15% lean toward Romney. A handful of undecided partisans lean toward the candidate across the aisle: 7% of undecided Democrats lean toward the Republican ticket, and 12% of undecided Republicans lean toward the Democratic ticket. Interestingly, 16% of those who identify as Tea Party supporters lean toward Obama, and 26% lean toward Romney. The favorability ratings advantage Obama. Among undecided likely voters, Obama nets a plus 15 points compared with Romney's net 11 points in a negative direction. Still, 58% remain undecided even when asked if they are leaning toward a candidate. For them, it is anyone's guess.
As we approach the final few days of the campaigns, the proportion of undecided likely voters has continued to shrink. Some might have already voted and made their decision, but many of these individuals will not choose until they get into the voting booth on Election Day—if they choose to vote. The numbers indicate that a good proportion of undecided registered voters are likely to vote. The campaigns have many competing goals and issues to address, but one of the most crucial remains attracting undecided voters, even in a year in which there are few undecideds left. The close race means these few undecided voters could make the difference.
[1] The Marist Poll releases tables which show a smaller percentage of undecided registered and likely voters. These tables do not categorize undecided voters who are leaning toward a candidate as undecided but instead include them within the candidate's numbers. For this analysis, undecided voters include voters who may be leaning toward a candidate.

YPDaily: Rhiannon MacDonnell
By Notable Life | June 12, 2011
In this article: Young Professionals Calgary Young Professionals Rhiannon MacDonnell YPDaily yps
Rhiannon MacDonnell is a philanthropic young professional in Calgary with vision and drive. This 26-year-old Doctoral candidate in consumer psychology thrives on being involved in her community and has a passion for bringing people together and building relationships. Read more about Rhiannon MacDonnell, Notable.ca's Calgary Editor, in today's Young Professional Daily.
What is the name of the company you work for and what industry is it in?
I am a Doctoral candidate in consumer psychology (Marketing) at the University of Calgary, and I am the new Calgary Editor for Notable. PhD Candidate, Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary, Facebook, Twitter, Website. Calgary Editor for Notable.ca.
Elevator Pitch (we just met on an elevator, we have 30 seconds together in the elevator, please describe your business):
I create and communicate opportunities for people – especially young professionals – to get involved in the betterment of their communities.
Why did you get involved in your industry, why this one, what was the inspiration?
I have always been involved in the community, and thrive on bringing people together. I also find people, and behaviour, fascinating. Psychology allowed me to see the best in people so it was a natural fit. Eventually I gravitated toward the psychology of pro-social (helping) behaviour, and my passions for people and community came together.
Now I study how consumers make decisions that make a contribution, whether that is towards the environment (eg. recycling), toward others (eg. by purchasing fair trade), or to charity (eg. charitable donations), and spend my time connecting people and building communities.
What is the best part of what you do on a day-to-day basis?
Meeting interesting people who are doing amazing things. Everyone has a story and an enthusiasm for contributing whether giving has been a lifelong part of their lifestyle or it's something they're just getting in to. Watching people connecting and developing themselves and the community around them inspires me.
What is the most challenging part of your job?
Keeping priorities straight in an environment where all the motivation comes from within is probably the most challenging. With so much that is interesting and challenging opportunities to choose from, it can be difficult to stay focused. Getting the last piece of my Doctorate (my dissertation) completed is the current challenge at hand.
Where do you see yourself going in 5 years?
There are three key things I want to be doing. The first is meeting new people, building relationships and learning as much as possible from them. The second is speaking and educating around topics and issues that are important to me. Third, and perhaps most importantly, is building up the communities and people around me. If I can be doing all of that while also travelling, I'll be especially happy.
Do you have any advice for other young professionals?
Find opportunities to go above and beyond. Reach out to the people who inspire you or who you want to learn from and offer to help. When you get the opportunity to help, seize it and do it well. Develop social equity in those relationships, work hard, and be good to people. If you can do that, you can do pretty much anything.
What is your greatest asset as it relates to business?
I like to think it's my enthusiasm for a challenge, for people, and for getting things done. I'm not afraid of hard work, and I don't take myself too seriously – which goes a long way.
At the end of the day, looking at what I've done and feeling good about it is my mark of success. If it brings a smile to my face, even better.
What is the most memorable milestone in your career?
Tough to say – I've had a number of humbling experiences for which I am grateful.
Within my academic career, getting in to my graduate program of choice at the University of Calgary and then winning my first national scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada were huge milestones that really set me up to propel forward.
Co-chairing the BeCause Initiative at United Way of Calgary and Area (UWCA) for two years changed my life. It allowed me to develop personally and professionally, provided fertile ground for ideas that I could see through to fruition, and allowed me to be a part of something great. And wow did I learn a lot.
That role enabled me to, among other things, sit ex-officio on the Board of Directors at UWCA, which oversaw an organization that raised $51.7 million in Calgary last year. Being at the table alongside community and business leaders of that stature who give so generously and capably of themselves was humbling. I felt very welcome, and I'll always be appreciative of what I learned from them.
Joining Notable, well, that's not half bad either.
Do you support any charities? If so, which one(s) and why is that important to you?
I have spent a substantial amount of time working with United Way of Calgary and Area, which (if you couldn't tell already) is close to my heart. Beyond that, I am always happy to help, and I support with my time and my dollars as many great causes as I can. The intersection of public, private, non-profit and philanthropy is where the coolest things happen, and working with Notable allows me to collaborate with and support some amazing organizations in this city.
What is Notable to you?
Anything that involves doing well in the process of doing good. There are few things better than seeing people making a contribution in their communities while also having fun, bringing people together, and generally rocking out what they are doing.
It's an honor to stand alongside such an outstanding group!

Q: Referring a \pic by its name that is generated in a for-loop I use a loop to place a list of pics, each of which has a bounding box. Then I refer to one of these bounding boxes, but tikz does not seem to get names generated by the for-loop. This is the code:
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\tikzset{
 pics/circle/.style args={#1}{
   code = {
        \node[circle, draw, color=red] at (0, 0){#1};
   }
 },
}

\begin{tikzpicture}

\foreach \ind in {1,2,3,4}
{
    \pic [local bounding box=circ\ind] at (\ind, 0) {circle};
}

%% This one does not work
%\draw (0, 2) -- (circ2);

%% (3, 1) should connect to the second circle only, but it connects all
\foreach \ind in {1,2,3,4}
    \draw(3, 1) -- (circ2);

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

UPDATE: Eventually, I figured out a way of using fit box, so I don't need to modify my pic (my own pic is somewhat complex).
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{fit}

\begin{document}

\tikzset{
 pics/circle/.style args={#1}{
   code = {
        \node[circle, draw, color=red] at (0, 0){#1};
   }
 },
}

\begin{tikzpicture}

\foreach \ind in {1,2,3,4}
{
    \pic [local bounding box=pic\ind] at (\ind, 0) {circle};
    %%% This is the trick
    \node [inner sep=0, fit=(pic\ind)] (circ\ind) {};
}

% This line works now
\draw (0, 2) -- (circ2);

%% (3, 1) should connect to the second circle only, but it connects all
\foreach \ind in {1,2,3,4}
    \draw(3, 1) -- (circ2);

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: It's the usual problem that \foreach performs each cycle of the loop inside a group and the settings done in the cycle are lost as soon as the group ends.
I can offer a \listloop macro, where the loop index is denoted by #1 and not grouping is used, because there is no risk to redefine commands (such as \ind).
\documentclass[border=4]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}

\tikzset{
  pics/circle/.style args={#1}{
    code = {
      \node[circle, draw, color=red] at (0, 0){#1};
    }
  },
}

\ExplSyntaxOn
\NewDocumentCommand{\listloop}{mm}
 {
  \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 } { #2 }
 }
\ExplSyntaxOff

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}

\listloop{1,2,3,4}{
    \pic [local bounding box=circ#1] at (#1, 0) {circle};
}

\draw (0, 2) -- (circ2);

\foreach \ind in {1,2,3,4}
    \draw(3, 1) -- (circ2);

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: If I understand what you want, I think you can solve adding a \coordinate inside the pic description, with the same (or another) argument. And you probably don't need the las \foreach.
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\tikzset{
  pics/circle/.style args={#1}%
  {
    code =
    {
      \coordinate (circ#1) at (#1,0);
      \node[circle, draw, color=red] at (#1,0){#1};
    }
  }
}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\foreach\ind in {1,2,3,4}
{
  \pic [local bounding box=outer box] {circle=\ind};
}

\draw (0, 2) -- (circ2);
% (3, 1) should connect to the second circle only, but it connects all
% Then you probably don't need the following foreach
%\foreach \ind in {1,2,3,4}
\draw(3, 1) -- (circ2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

With the above code you get:

In first Board of Education election, Anne Arundel candidates forge a novel campaign
By Rachael Pacella
rpacella@capgaznews.com |
District 5 Board of Education candidates Vincent Goldsmith, Dana Schallheim and Terry Gilleland pose for photos on June 22. (Rachael Pacella / Capital Gazette)
By Tuesday night, Anne Arundel County voters will have completed a historic first — casting a ballot for the person to represent them on the Board of Education.
Along with a slate of familiar issues — school start times, teacher pay, class sizes, the budget — the candidates have also been experiencing novel appreciation from the electorate.
"A real happiness that we're able to choose these people now," said school board candidate Dana Schallheim.
As candidates have campaigned, some find in addition to selling themselves they have another task — informing the electorate about how the school board race will work. Seats representing councilmanic districts 1, 4, 5 and 7 are up for grabs this year.
The field of 12 candidates (13 including District 5 candidate Uju Elliffe who wanted to drop out but couldn't), includes some who have sought public office before. There's no shortage of first-time candidates, either.
That's the case in District 5, where board member Terry Gilleland Jr., a former state delegate, is running along with Schallheim and Vincent Goldsmith, two people who have never sought public office before. Two will advance to the general election.
All three were out at the Severna Park Library between June 14 and Thursday for early voting.
"I stand there with my sign and people ask — now, how's this working?" Gilleland said.
This is the first time unaffiliated voters will have their own ballot in the primary — albeit for the school board only. There was one year when the Republican party allowed them to vote in its primary, county Board of Elections Deputy Director David Garreis said. But the school board primary is permanently open to unaffiliated voters under law.
That means their only motivation to go to the polls is to vote for a school board member, Goldsmith said. In other words, candidates are not just asking an unaffiliated voter for their vote — they're asking them to drive to the polls and vote just for them.
Numbers for early voting, which ran June 14 through Thursday, show that just .93 percent of the county's 49,111 eligible active unaffiliated voters cast a ballot during early voting, compared to 7.96 percent of Democrats and 5.73 percent of Republicans.
Goldsmith looks to Howard County as an example of unaffiliated voters showing up for school board elections. Nearly twice as many unaffiliated voters showed up to the polls to vote for school board members there during early primary voting this year (the school board election there is county-wide rather than divided into districts).
"I'm trying to see if we can get some of that fire going here in Anne Arundel County," Goldsmith said.
Schallheim said unaffiliated voters have been happy to learn they can vote in the primary. She's also heard positive feedback from voters about being able to elect the board for the first time.
Caucus of African American Leaders hosts forum for school board candidates on equity
Candidates for the Board of Education of Anne Arundel County fielded questions on equity, the achievement gap and how to address racism in school Tuesday night at a meeting of the Caucus of African American Leaders.
Another oddity: the members are being elected to six-year terms. In 2020, seats for councilmanic Districts 2, 3 and 6 are up for election to four-year terms. The extra two years this go-around means in 2024, seats from all seven districts will be on the ballot for four year terms.

The board isn't just switching from appointed to elected, it is also switching composition. It will change from a nine-member body composed of a student member, three at-large members and representatives from legislative Districts 21, 30, 31, 32 and 33 to a body with one student member and then one representative from each of the seven councilmanic districts.
Gilleland, who represents District 31 and is running for District 5, has to explain a situation unique to him and Board President Julie Hummer to voters, he said — both have terms right now that don't expire until 2020.
If either wins the School Board Appointment Commission will need to reconvene to find someone to fill their current seat. And if they lose, they'll still be on the board another two years.
"That takes some explaining," he said.
And it isn't the case for the other board member running, Sidney Butcher, appointed in February to a term that expires in December, the same time the newly elected members would take their seats.

For Gilleland, who has been on the board two years and also served as the student member in the 1994-1995 school year, members of the board right now view themselves as representing the whole county.
If having an elected board will change that dynamic remains to be seen, he said.
"Do we shift to be like the county council where we have a district-first approach?" he said.
In meetings with Capital Gazette Editorial Board in recent weeks, candidates discussed issues board members could face. They discussed financial issues — how the budget can best be used, restoring or improving teacher pay and administrative costs, which some said are far too high.
They discussed school start times, with some saying science shows that older students need to sleep more, and little ones should get to school earlier in the day, when they're more active.

They discussed school climate issues, such as mental health and racism in county schools, as well as addressing class sizes and equity in the way capital funding is distributed.

McEuen Park: $23 million and up
April 14, 2011 at 9:57 am |
COEUR d'ALENE — Estimates are in.
Without the cost of replacing displaced facilities or the bottom level of the parking structure, the McEuen Field redevelopment project could cost between $23 million and $27.9 million, the park's conceptual designers announced today.
By including the costs of replacing the American Legion baseball field to Coeur d'Alene High School and constructing the replacement boat launch at Silver Beach, the total goes to between $26 and $30 million.
Throwing everything in, the McEuen Field redevelopment project could cost between $31 million and $37 million at the high end.
That figure includes those replacement costs and the lowest level — or Centennial Trail level — of the multi-level parking garage.
"I'm very pleased with the numbers," Mayor Sandi Bloem said following the workshop at Parkside Towers where Team McEuen, the project's conceptual designers, announced possible costs. "It doesn't mean I think we can just go out and spend $25, $30 million dollars right now. But I think if we're talking about a long term vision, and the partners we can put together during the first phase and so forth, there really is an opportunity here."
The city said following the workshop it would study the numbers and schedule public meetings on the costs and the vision for the park in the future.
Supporters of the park will gather at McEuen at 5 p.m. today.

← Fredric Jameson: People are saying "this is a new fascism" and my answer is – not yet!
Note from LeftEast Editors: We publish this Call for Solidarity, written by a member of the HDP ( (Halkların Demokratik Partisi -The Peoples' Democratic Party) following the arrests of the joint leaders of the HDP along with at least nine other MPs, in what has become the latest stage of an ongoing offensive by President Erdogan to eliminate every single oppositional voice in the country, under the excuse of the coup attempt on July 15th. More than 80,000 people have been detained since July 15, and about half of them are in prison now.
I hope this message will find you all good and well. It is going to be a long message, but please read it with patience.
As many of you may know, President Erdogan has been imposing an extremely authoritarian agenda on the peoples of Turkey. Using the coup attempt on July 15th as an opportunity to consolidate his rule by eliminating every single oppositional voice in the country, he has singled out our party HDP as the main target because we had stopped twice his authoritarian project of a presidential system in the June and November elections in 2015 by preventing his AKP to win sufficient number of parliamentary seats to make the necessary Constitutional changes. His aim is to paralyze our party before the possible referendum for presidential system or early elections in 2017, because he knows well that HDP can stop him in the ballot box again. Thousands of members, executives, elected mayors and city council members affiliated with the HDP and/or our sister party DBP have been sent to prison with groundless charges since our electoral victory in June 2015 and particularly after the coup attempt on July 15, 2016.
With emergency state rule, Erdogan is further polarizing the society and deepening ethnic and sectarian conflicts with the purpose of consolidating the extremely reactionary, ultranationalist and Islamist alliance he crafted after the coup attempt on July 15th, an alliance that he views as the guarantee to achieve his goal of a "Turkish-type presidential system" — a total dictatorship. If he achieves his goal, Erdogan would not simply harm the Kurds, Alevi people, women, religious and sectarian minorities and the poor in Turkey, but will further destabilize the Middle East, particularly Iraq and Syria, and create severe challenges for Europe in terms of security, refugees, and economy.
There is no freedom of expression and press, no academic freedom, and no fair and independent judicial system in the country. With government decrees with the power of law, over 170 media outlets critical of Erdogan were banned. The Kurdish and Alevi media are totally wiped out. More than 130 journalists are in prison, also including some world renowned authors and intellectuals. Most recently, two Kurdish news agencies and several Kurdish dailies were closed and the chief-editor, columnists and journalists of the pro-Republican People Party (CHP) daily Cumhuriyet were detained. Tens of thousands of teachers and academics were dismissed or suspended. A significant number of these are either Kurdish or in solidarity with the Kurds and they have absolutely nothing to do with the coup. More than 80,000 civil servants were either dismissed or suspended. More than 80,000 people have been detained since July 15, and about half of them are in prison now.
On Nov 30, Ms. Gultan Kisanak and Mr. Firat Anli, democratically elected co-mayors of Diyarbakir, politically and symbolically the most important city for the Kurds in Turkey, were arrested and sent to prison. A district governor from Ankara was appointed to run the municipality. With this, the number of Kurdish municipalities run by bureaucrats appointed by the central government increased to 28. About 30 democratically elected Kurdish mayors are in prison now and about 70 of them were dismissed by the central government. Ms Kisanak was a former member of the parliament and also co-chair of the Democratic Society Party. The same day, former MP and spokesperson of the Kurdish Free Women's Congress (KJA) Ayla Akat Ata was arrested.
Despite the opinions of the Venice Commission and the IPU Human Rights Committee, the Erdogan-AKP regime is attacking HDP deputies whose parliamentary immunities were unconstitutionally lifted in May 2016. Most recently, Turkish police physically assaulted our female deputies Feleknas Uca, Besime Konca and Sibel Yigitalp in front of Diyarbakir municipality, when they protested with local people the detention of co-mayors of Diyarbakir. Ms Uca's arm was badly injured; she was hospitalized. Before joining HDP, Ms Uca served two terms as a member of the European Parliament.
On November 1, a Turkish court imposed travel ban on our co-chair Ms Figen Yuksekdag so that she could not travel abroad. On November 2, the Court of Cessation approved a ten-month prison sentence for Ms Yuksekdag because of a speech she had delivered in 2012 – the charge is always the same: terrorist propaganda.
On November 3, HDP's Sirnak deputy Mr Ferhat Encu's passport was seized at Istanbul Airport before his flight to Brussels. Apparently, the court put a travel ban on him. The pro-AKP media said Mr Encu was "flying to Brussels: the home of terrorism." Over 30 members of Encu's family – ordinary villagers – were killed by Turkish airstrikes in Roboski in December 2011. The reason for Encu's travel ban is a protest he joined with local people in June 2015, where he condemned the Roboski massacre and demanded justice for its victims. The prosecutor charged Mr Encu with "terrorist propaganda"!
On November 3, Turkish police and military personnel raided the house of our Sirnak deputy Ms Aycan Irmez and insulted her family members.
Having arrested or dismissed many Kurdish mayors, now the Erdogan-AKP regime is preparing to arrest HDP deputies, and most probably its co-chairs. Our co-chair Mr Selahattin Demirtas has 103 cases against him – all of them because of the critical content of his speeches. The charge is always the same: terrorist propaganda.
We have strange times in Turkey. Nowadays, there are only two camps in the country: Either you are pro-Erdogan and AKP, or you are a coup supporter, a terrorist, or a traitor – often all three of them simultaneously. Erdogan has left no space for the third option: it is either black or white: but we as the HDP occupy the grey zone, and that is unbearable to the Erdogan-AKP regime.
More challenging times are ahead. Please discuss the situation in Turkey -particularly the pressures on Kurdish mayors, HDP deputies and critical media outlets — with the organs of your parties and institutions and take action without delay.
As I am concluding this letter (1:27 am), I am receiving text messages that the police is detaining Mr Ferhat Encu. There are also many policemen at the houses of our Co-chair Ms Figen Yuksekdag, our Sirnak deputy Leyla Birlik, our Diyarbakir deputy Ziya Pir. Erdogan's war against the HDP is taking a different and extremely dangerous turn.
