Pursley was voted as the top driver in the NASCAR Hunter Index for July.
The Hunter Index ranks the top drivers in the NASCAR developmental series.
Pursley was the only driver from the West Series ranked in the top 10.
Go to NASCAR Home Tracks for a look at the top 10 drivers in the Hunter Index for July.
Here is a look at how I voted:
1.Greg Pursley – Good fortune is following Pursley unlike last year when he couldn't avoid trouble. He gave much of the credit to good luck after winning the race at Irwindale. He said he had seven flat tires that took him out of races last year. No such misfortune so far in 2011.
2. Sergio Pena – Pena showed what he could do in a race car at the Toyota All Star Showdown two years ago. It took him a while, but he seems to have found his stride again. It's nice to see him winning some races finally.
3. Max Gresham – He has been the most consistent racer in the K&N Pro Series East all year.

IndyCar Series returns to Auto Club Speedway
A lot has changed since the last time Indy cars raced at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. For one, the track was known simply as California Speedway. Another difference was that there were two open-wheel racing series in America, the Indy Racing League and CART.
The series is unified under the Izod IndyCar Series. The track's name is changed. The racing might be some of the best the track has seen in a while.
The IndyCar Series will return to Fontana in September of 2012 for a night race. It is the first time in seven years that open-wheel race cars will be on the track.
Dario Franchitti won the last open-wheel race at Auto Club Speedway in 2005. The track is home to some of the more impressive speed records in the history of open-wheel racing, including the fastest lap ever recorded on a closed course. Gil de Ferran clocked a lap at 241 mph in qualifying in 2000.

Greg Pursley wins NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at Irwindale
Greg Pursley has been tough to beat all year in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. He was especially tough to beat at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale on Saturday night.
Pursley won the pole and the Southern California Toyota Dealers 200. He extended his lead in the West Series standings and won for the fifth time in seven races.
"When you're on a roll like this, you gotta ride it as long as you can because everyone knows in racing it can end like that," Pursley said.
In a way, Pursley, a driver for Gene Price Motorsports, finished what he started last year. He won the pole and led the first 41 laps of the West Series race at Irwindale in 2010. But he cut a tire and had to withdraw from the race.
Pursley made it through the race on Saturday night without incident to capture his eighth career West Series win.
"They give me an awesome car to drive and it makes it look easy," Pursley said.
Pursley is one of the more successful drivers to come out of Irwindale. He won the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national championship in 2004 racing Super Late Models at Toyota Speedway.
Derek Thorn of Lakeport was second followed by rookie Dylan Kwasniewski of Las Vegas in third.
Michael Self led at the halfway point of the race on lap 101. The cars pitted for mandatory stops.
Jeff Peterson of Riverside won the NASCAR Super Trucks race, his first of the season. He missed the first three races of the year, but has finished no worse than third in his past four races.
Todd Cameron of Monrovia was second followed by RJ Johnson of Canyon Country in third. Johnson has won three NASCAR Super Late Model races at the track and is second in the Super Late Model standings. He won the Super Trucks championship at the track in 2009.
Ryan Partridge of Ranch Cucamonga, the leader in the Super Trucks standings and winner of the previous two races, was 19th and completed 32 of the 40 laps.
Devon Ostheimer of Morgan Hill won the S2 stock car race in only second start in the series. The 17-year-old Ostheimer races regularly in the Late Models and has five top-five and one runner-up finish. It was his first win at the track.
Andrew Anderson of Lancastrer, the leader in the S2 standings, was second, followed by Andrew Porter of La Verne in third.
Riki Rachtman, who once co-hosted "Loveline" on KROQ and "Headbangers Ball" on MTV, finished 10th in the 11-car field.

Novelist and poet Alessandro Manzoni is considered one of the fathers of the Italian language. He was born in Milan on March 7, 1785 to Count Pietro Manzoni and Giulia Beccaria, the daughter of influential 18th-century intellectual Cesare Beccaria. At the time, Italy was a cluster of territories divided among foreign powers. But many native intellectuals started to call for the creation of a unified, independent state. Young Manzoni embraced such patriotic ideas with enthusiasm. At 16 he wrote his first work, a four-stanza poem entitled "Of the Triumph of Freedom" that condemned all forms of despotism.On a visit to France in 1805, he began to meet intellectuals and enlisted in the Romantic movement then spreading throughout Europe. Manzoni was especially enamored of the Romantic notion that all art should have both practical and educational aims. It was a principle that would eventually inform all his works.
When his father died in 1807, Manzoni returned to Milan. While there, he met and fell in love with Henriette Blondel, whom he married a year later.These years marked another important change for the author, who began to embrace Catholicism.
The most productive period of Manzoni's life took place between 1812 and 1822, when he wrote "Sacred Hymns," a work that illustrated the moral and religious value of Catholic holidays. Studying Shakespeare, Goethe and Schiller, Manzoni immersed himself in tragedy, which he considered the ideal form for both personal and historical narratives. During these years he wrote the tragedies The Count of Carmagnola and Adelchi. He also penned two political odes. One was "March 1821," a work dedicated to the increasingly popular independence movement. The other was "May Fifth," which he wrote upon learning of Napoleon's death.
Manzoni's political and moral ideals converged in his major historical novel, The Betrothed. Through the adventures of the young lovers Renzo and Lucia, Manzoni vividly depicted a 17th-century Italy where the north was under Austrian rule and most of the south was ruthlessly controlled by Spain.Manzoni worked on the novel for 20 years, studying language and culture in an effort to unite the novel—and Italy—under a single national language. At the time, regional dialects reinforced the political boundaries dividing the country. When most of Italy became unified under a single monarchy in 1861, Manzoni was named senator for life. He died on May 22, 1873 after falling down the steps of San Fedele Church in Milan. He was 88.

…Can I quickly take this opportunity to say how much I enjoyed the share session on Monday morning. It was extremely well chaired by yourself, and I found it very interesting, and in fact far more useful than any others I attended all day, so thank you!
"Thanks very much Anthony, this is really useful information.
I had been badgering our energy mgmt company for weeks over this issue, almost from the moment we had an idea of which buildings were moving over from the North Yorks and York PCT estate. Their answer was to ask me to spend £2,500 on a CRC training module instead of simply answering my question about the implications for the merger, which you have done more than ably.

Naveen asks people's representatives to make property details public
Stating that Odisha launched a campaign against corruption from the very beginning, Naveen said strong and exemplary action have been taken against the corrupt.
Published: 22nd December 2020 09:22 AM | Last Updated: 22nd December 2020 09:22 AM | A+A A-
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
BHUBANESWAR: As the BJD confronts an unwanted shadow of corruption with an influential MLA arrested for being involved in a multicrore job scam, Chief Minister and party supremo Naveen Patnaik on Monday sought to reinforce his 'zero tolerance to corruption' principles, asking all people's representatives to submit their property statements every year. All people's representatives, sarpanchs, block chairpersons, Zilla Parishad presidents and v i c e - p r e s i - dents, MLAs and ministers (including the Chief Minister) will submit property s tatement s every year and they will be put in public domain, Naveen said while addressing the BJD State Council meeting here through videoconference. He stated that the property statements of people's representatives and government employees will be submitted to the Lokayukta.
"Fight against corruption will help us in our fight against all ills in the society. May it be inequality, poverty or injustice - in fact, all maladies," the Chief Minister said. Asking party MPs to set an example before the entire country by submitting property statements voluntarily, he said, "Odisha will show the way to other states in this regard." Government employees starting from those in the entry level up to the Chief Secretary will also file their statements every year, which will be put in public domain, he said and added, Odisha will be the first state to take such steps against corruption.
Stating that Odisha launched a campaign against corruption from the very beginning, Naveen said strong and exemplary action have been taken against the corrupt. He said, so far 91 officials have been dismissed from service for corruption. Pension of several corrupt officials has been a l s o b e e n stopped. The Chief Minister approved a resolution to provide reservation for students from government schools in State medical and engineering colleges.
Referring to another resolution demanding a backward class survey, Naveen said this will be a milestone in ensuring social justice. He also advised that all resolutions adopted at the State Council meeting on women empowerment should be implemented. He said that resolutions which need government intervention for implementation will be sent to the ministers concerned.

Last Sunday we had a pyjama day. All day.
Sadly, all day pyjama days are an extremely rare occurrence in our house and we relish them. Goose was wanting to 'craft' so I showed her the pinterest board where I'd been collecting ideas for the next 'rainy/pyjama day'.
It's nice having a nine year old as she can get on and do things all by herself without me having to supervise.
To make these yarn wrapped vases, you use a paint brush to cover a jar or bottle with pva glue and, starting at the bottom, slowly wrap the wool around jar. As you can probably tell from the photos, by the time she did the white one she had started to lose her patience a little….
She originally wanted to make a pen-pot but they ended up as vases.
Love that girl. I love how she inspires me to be creative.
Granny taught her to knit a few years ago and she loves it.
She is currently knitting a bright pink scarf.
Ojo De Dios (also known as God's eyes). One of Goose's school friends taught her and they were quite the craze at school for a while, and she made many!
More kids crafts with FGB.
We love pj days too… although ours aren't so rare haha – one of the benefits of having littles with no place in particular to be :)

I love creating with Jack and Sarah. Jack is showing more and more signs of being able to create independently but how wonderful to be at the age to work unsupervised And she did do a most wonderful job.
I love pajama days! And crafts. The perfect day, I think!

Is the Gig Economy's Rise Greatly Exaggerated?
Based on the way we travel, eat, and get odd jobs done, most of us assume that the gig economy is booming. However, despite the pervasiveness of companies like Uber, Postmates, and TaskRabbit, a survey published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on June 7, 2018, reports that the percentage of Americans working in the gig economy has dropped since 2005.
The survey shows that the number of Americans in gig work dropped from 10.9% in 2005 to 10.1% in 2017. If you're surprised because you thought the gig economy was on the rise, you aren't alone. Lawrence Katz of Harvard and Alan Krueger of Princeton estimated in December 2016 that alternative work accounted for 15.8% of all workers, which would mean that it was responsible for almost all of US job creation since 2005.
How Do We Define Gig Work?
The BLS study doesn't actually use the term "gig work." The study focuses on people classified as contingent workers and/ or alternative workers. According to the BLS, contingent workers are "people who do not expect their jobs to last or who report that their jobs are temporary. They do not have an implicit or explicit contract for ongoing employment." Alternative employment arrangements involve "independent contractors, on-call workers, temporary help agency workers, and workers provided by contract firms." The BLS notes that in this survey, someone's job can be defined as both contingent and an alternative employment arrangement; however, that is not automatically the case.
Part of the reason so much discrepancy exists among statistics measuring the gig economy is that we can't seem to agree on how to define it. The BLS statistic only includes people who consider their work in the gig economy primary employment and who had done this work in the past week at the time the survey was taken. PYMENTS.com (a site operated by What's Next Media and Analytics, LLC., which is owned by Market Platform Dynamics and Business Wire, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway) predicts in the Gig Economy Index that 55% of gig workers also maintain full-time or regular jobs, so only counting people who consider their work in the gig economy their main job might not be painting a full picture.
Exclusively asking people about work they've done in the past week also complicates comparing statistics – the survey in 2005 was conducted in February while this recent survey was conducted in May. Because of this difference, comparing the results of these two surveys ignores the existence of seasonal gig work.
Including part-time work and asking about the past 12 months instead of the last week yielded results more in line with general perception of the gig economy. Published in October 2017, the annual study estimated that 57.3 million Americans were freelancing, making up 36% of the country's workforce. Based on the growth rate at the time of publication, the study predicted that the majority of the U.S. workforce will be freelancing by 2027.
Supervisory Research Economist for the BLS' Employment Research Staff Anne Polivka noted the role differing definitions have in yielding different results, saying "If you do an analysis using a definition closer to what is used in the CWS, then the number drops by 8.5% from 2014 to 2015, and that's using what's published by the Freelancers Union." Polivka cited Lawrence Mishel, who shared this analysis in a press release published in December 2015.
One possible explanation for the decline in people comprising the gig economy is that the quick increase in gig-style jobs was mostly a response to a weak labor market. As the economy has improved, more people would have found traditional work. Part-time work surged in the recession and has decreased during the economic recovery, so employment by temporary-help services has decreased. However, this explanation falls short in accounting for the increasing number of freelancers and workers in the gig economy who say they are alternative workers by choice.
According to FIA, when asked whether they started freelancing more by choice or necessity, 63% of freelancers answered that they do so by choice – a 10-point increase since 2014. Some perks of freelance and gig work include scheduling flexibility and the potential for creative fulfillment.
The Freelancers Union explains this increase as due to stability being redefined. More freelancers are starting to think of having more clients as more secure than having one employer. In fact, 63% of freelancers surveyed agreed, which is 10 points more than in 2016. However, income predictability remains a concern of freelancers. The 2017 study found that full-time freelancers dip into their savings significantly more often than others: 63% at least once per month compared to 20% of full-time non-freelancers.
Gerald Friedman, a professor and undergraduate program director of economics at University of Massachusetts Amherst, says, "There are definitely people who like the gig jobs, and people who don't like the gig jobs… [With FIA,] they're casting a wide net – they're catching anybody who does any gig work, a lot of people who do marginal gig work, picking up a little extra work on the side, they're the ones who like it. If you get people who are trying to live full time, some of them like it, but others might want something else." He also pointed out the role affirmation bias potentially plays in FIA results. "People don't like to say that they don't like what they do. So you have to take that number with a grain of salt," he says.
Because no federal action has been taken, many online platforms have pressed states to allow them to offer benefits without making their workers into employees. Worker advocates have typically opposed these efforts.
Despite these challenges, the increasing percentage of freelancers who started freelancing by choice – paired with the statistic provided in last month's Gig Economy Index that no fewer than 75% of gig workers would not switch back to a full-time job – suggests that the gig economy boom is more than temporary.
The data published by BLS might also not account for structural changes in the way people work. The government's standard tools for monitoring employment have difficulty measuring a changing employment landscape, as evidenced by the discrepancy between the Current Population Survey showing that self-employment is falling and tax data from the Internal Revenue Service revealing the opposite.
An expert on labor economics, Friedman similarly said, "To some degree, the BLS is not asking the right questions. They might be doing a good job of asking the questions they're asking, but the real question for me is not about the nature of the job, but about the nature of income security for people. And we have, in this country, for about a century, relied on private welfare states." Friedman continued, "Job security is not what it used to be. The real issue that the BLS doesn't get at is the variation that people can expect: variation in their income over several years, and that number has gone up a lot. That's the real issue with gig work." Friedman claims that because most people rely on their employers for things like healthcare and income security, most people remain tied to their regular jobs for a sense of stability.
The survey might not present a comprehensive view of all contingent and alternative workers because not all workers self-identify as such. For example, 57% of the workers who earn almost all of their income from online platforms consider themselves employees rather than independent contractors, according to a poll conducted for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Is the Gig Economy Growing or Not?
The answer depends on whom you ask. Although workers are not looking at their roles in the gig economy the same way they would think about a 9–5 job, the gig economy does seem to be taking on a growing role. According to the Gig Economy Index, nearly 40% of the American workforce makes at least 40% of their income through gig work, as of May 2018.
Independent contracting has declined overall in the United States, though it has grown significantly in specific industries like business and transportation. According to BLS surveys, 7.4% of all workers in 2005 were independent contractors, while that number dropped to 6.9% in 2017. But there was a 50% jump in independent contractors in the transportation sector, which experts agree is almost definitely due to Uber, Lyft, and similar companies.
Speaking to the Washington Post, Heidi Shierholz, a former chief economist at the Labor Department, said, "What this says to me is the vast majority of workers in the United States still have traditional jobs as their main source of income," responding to the study released by BLS. "We should be spending most of our time thinking about boosting wages in traditional jobs so people don't need a side hustle," she added.
Friedman similarly said, "I think the gig economy is significant, and it's growing, but it's still, as this BLS survey shows...not huge in terms of the whole U.S. economy." He maintains that unless gig work introduces some sort of income stability and process to ensure welfare benefits, the stability of regular jobs will remain more desirable.
Shierholz's analysis clearly conflicts with the results of FIA 2017. The Freelancers Union and PYMNTS.com both have statistics to support their narratives of a booming gig economy primarily comprised of freelancers who choose to be freelancers. But the BLS has statistics that paint a different narrative, which means that defining gig work, including different people in surveys, and asking even just slightly different questions is keeping measuring the shifting economy a challenge.

6 Questions to Ask Before You Buy Hospital Indemnity Insurance

Picture yourself in five years. Are you imagining future you on a yacht or in a hospital bed?
It doesn't hurt to plan for both. Hernias, broken bones, ruptured appendices — they can all strike without warning, creating plenty of hassles in their wake.
After all, hospitalizations can leave a lasting financial scar: The average hospital stay (which lasts about five days) can cost more than $10,000. Standard health insurance helps, but it might leave some expensive gaps in your coverage. Luckily, a hospital indemnity plan can take you the rest of the way.
What Is Hospital Indemnity Insurance?
Hospital indemnity (or "fixed indemnity") plans are supplemental insurance policies that pay fixed cash benefits for hospitalizations. With simple, straightforward payouts — for example, $100 for each day spent in inpatient care — these plans go well with traditional health insurance because they cover areas that a regular health plan might not.
It makes sense when you consider that even with health insurance, you're still probably going to have to pay the copays and deductible — plus applicable coinsurance amounts — of a hospital stay. And that's just the medical costs. While you're recovering, rent, utility bills and other household expenses will still be adding up. The money you get from a hospital indemnity plan can go toward those expenses, too.
Best of all, these plans are likely cheaper than your monthly coffee budget. But before you buy a hospital indemnity policy, ask your broker these six questions to be certain you're getting the right plan for your needs.
1. What Will the Plan Cover?
Coverage varies from plan to plan, so ask what the plan will — and won't — cover for planned or unplanned hospitalizations. For example, most plans won't cover costs as a result of self-inflicted injuries or unlawful acts, but hospital stays for things like gastric bypass surgery, pregnancy, vasectomy reversal or health issues that take place when you're traveling internationally may be gray territory. If the medical event is already covered by a workers' compensation plan, it might not be eligible for coverage either.
2. What Are the Rules Surrounding Preexisting Conditions?
Some hospital indemnity policies place restrictions on preexisting conditions. Others might institute a waiting period before filing a claim as a result of a condition you had before you bought the policy. Ask your broker to be sure.
3. What If I Have to Stay in the Hospital for a Long Time — or More Than Once?
Some hospital indemnity plans may give you an initial admission payout as soon as you're hospitalized on top of a daily hospitalization (or "confinement") payout. But read the fine print carefully here: Those benefits may be subject to occurrence or duration limitations.
For example, you may be eligible for $1,000 per hospital admission, but only once a year. You might also get a $100 payout for each day you're hospitalized, but just for up to 30 days. After those limits are exhausted, you might not qualify for other hospital-related payouts.
4. Am I Covered If I Need Rehabilitation Therapy?
Check the plan's individual rules surrounding inpatient rehab therapy, including whether there's a maximum length your rehab stays can last for each hospitalization or for the whole plan year. You might get $100 a day for inpatient rehab with a certain plan, but only 15 days per accident and 30 days total per calendar year.
5. Does the Type of Facility or Department Matter?
Some hospital indemnity plans limit intensive care unit (ICU) coverage from step-down units, also known as intermediate care units. These serve as a "go-between" place to transition stable patients from the ICU to the general hospital ward. Other types of facilities — such as convalescent, or extended care, homes — might not count either. Double-check before enrolling in any new plan.
6. When Can I File a Claim, and How Quickly Will I Get the Check?
When you're in the hospital — and potentially out of work — you'll want a plan that pays out your benefits fully, and fast. Ask how long a typical claim takes to process and whether there are any potential barriers to filing claims. Will you be able to get benefits starting from the first day you're covered, or will you need to go through a waiting period?
Hospitalizations are rarely fun under the best of circumstances, and the financial stress that they bring with them is enough to make anyone tear their hair out. Having a strategy in place before you're rushed to the emergency room will help protect your bank account — and all for cheaper than you might think.

Santiago v. Ware, No. 95-0079

Citation 205 Wis.2d 295,556 N.W.2d 356
Decision Date 30 September 1996
Parties Lydia SANTIAGO, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Jaime Santiago, Plaintiff-Respondent, d v. Kathleen WARE, Wayne Mixdorf, Todd Zangl and Dennis Danner, Defendants-Appellants.
556 N.W.2d 356 205 Wis.2d 295 Lydia SANTIAGO, as Personal Representative of the Estate of
Jaime Santiago, Plaintiff-Respondent, d
Kathleen WARE, Wayne Mixdorf, Todd Zangl and Dennis Danner,
Defendants-Appellants. No. 95-0079. Court of Appeals of Wisconsin. Submitted on Briefs July 10, 1996.
Decided Sept. 30, 1996.
[205 Wis.2d 304] For the defendants-appellants the cause was submitted on the briefs of James E. Doyle, attorney general, and Stephen J. Nicks, assistant attorney general.
For the plaintiff-respondent the cause was submitted on the brief of Lawrence Bensky and Melanie Cohen of Lafollette & Sinykin of Madison.
Before DYKMAN, P.J., and PAUL C. GARTZKE and ROBERT D. SUNDBY, Reserve Judges.
GARTZKE, Reserve Judge.
Kathleen Ware, Todd Zangl and Dennis Danner appeal from a judgment awarding damages to Jaime Santiago, an inmate at Waupun Correctional Institution (WCI). The defendants are state prison employees whose duties include the disciplining of inmates. The underlying [205 Wis.2d 305] action is for damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and damages under state law for negligence.
The § 1983 issues are whether: (1) Santiago had a liberty interest in not having his mandatory release date extended and in remaining in a community residential confinement program; (2) Santiago waived procedural due process objections by not raising them at his disciplinary hearing and on administrative appeal; (3) the evidence presented at Santiago's disciplinary hearing satisfies due process requirements; (4) the defendants' acts were random and unauthorized and did not deprive Santiago of due process because he had adequate state remedies; and (5) the defendants enjoy qualified immunity from this suit. The issue on the state law negligence claims against Ware, Zangl and Danner is whether the defendants enjoy discretionary immunity.
We conclude Santiago had a liberty interest in not having his mandatory release date extended, but not in remaining in a community-residential confinement program. We conclude that Santiago waived all procedural due process objections, except for one: that the evidence presented at his hearing did not satisfy due process requirements. Because that objection is one of procedural rather than substantive due process, we conclude
defendants prevail under the random and unauthorized conduct defense. Because of our disposition, we do not reach the issue of qualified immunity. 1 We also conclude defendants Ware, Zangl [205 Wis.2d 306] and Danner enjoy discretionary immunity from Santiago's state law negligence claim. We reverse.
Jaime Santiago was a thirty-seven-year-old inmate in the Wisconsin correctional system who resided at Plymouth Manor Nursing Home in Milwaukee under care for progressive amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. 3 He had been transferred from Columbia Correctional Institution to the Community Residential Confinement (CRC) program on January 8, 1992, the same date on which he entered Plymouth Manor. 4
By June 1992, Santiago's ALS had progressed to the point where he could not use his hands or stand without assistance. He had little or no use of most of his [205 Wis.2d 307] muscles. He had to be fed, bathed and cared for by others. By July 1992, his speech was badly impaired, making it difficult for others to understand him.
On June 18, 1992, Santiago had an argument with a cook at Plymouth Manor. The next day, the director of Plymouth Manor met with Jon Schubert, Santiago's probation and parole agent, and Schubert's supervisor, defendant Kathleen Ware. At the end of the meeting, the director decided Santiago would no longer reside at Plymouth Manor.
On June 20, 1992, Santiago was transferred to WCI, where he resided at the Health Services Unit. He remained in temporary lockup status pending investigation of the incident at Plymouth Manor.
On June 29, 1992, Schubert prepared a conduct report on the incident. He did not interview Santiago or the cook about their argument. 5 He did not personally [205 Wis.2d 308] determine the nursing home rules Santiago had violated. He relied on another correctional officer's recommendation for the charges he made against Santiago. The conduct report alleged that Santiago violated WIS.ADM.CODE §§ DOC 303.16 (threats), 303.28 (disruptive conduct), and 303.63 (violation of institution policies and procedures). The report did not
specify the pertinent institution policies or procedures.
Serving as acting security director, Ware reviewed the conduct report. She incorrectly classified the offenses as major under WIS.ADM.CODE § DOC 303.68(3) without looking at that provision. WISCONSIN ADM.CODE § DOC 303.68(3) lists certain DOC rule violations as automatic major offenses. None of Santiago's charged violations fell into this category. 6
On July 1, 1992, Sergeant Alvin Krueger served Santiago with the conduct report and with the Notice of Major Disciplinary Hearing Rights Form. That form contains a section entitled "Waiver of Formal Due Process (Major) Hearing," to be completed by the inmate. When Krueger helped Santiago fill out the form, Krueger mistakenly marked a box in the middle of the form to indicate Santiago waived his right to a formal due process hearing. Santiago pointed out the mistake, and Krueger scratched it out. Krueger did not [205 Wis.2d 309] check a second box, located at the bottom of the form, that also would indicate waiver of a formal due process hearing.
On July 20, 1992, defendant Todd Zangl, a Division of Intensive Sanctions supervisor, held a hearing at WCI on the conduct report. Santiago had not been told that Zangl was coming to hold the hearing, and he had not been contacted by an advocate or prepared a defense. He had not been told which policy or procedure he was charged with violating under WIS.ADM.CODE § DOC 303.63.
Zangl conducted the hearing as a "waiver hearing" rather than a due process hearing. 7 Zangl did not carefully review Santiago's Waiver of Major Hearing Form, despite his responsibility to do so, and he missed the cross-out in the waiver box. No rule or regulation requires a hearing officer before holding a waiver hearing to speak with the inmate to verify that he has waived his due process rights. Because Zangl could not understand Santiago, he asked Holly Meier, a nurse at WCI, to translate. With her help, Santiago told Zangl he wanted a due process hearing, but Zangl continued with the waiver hearing.
At the conclusion of the hearing, Zangl found Santiago guilty of violating WIS.ADM.CODE §§ DOC 303.28 (disruptive conduct) and 303.63 (violation of [205 Wis.2d 310] institution policies and procedures) and not guilty of violating WIS.ADM.CODE § DOC 303.16 (threats). Zangl imposed a ten-day extension of Santiago's mandatory release date and referred him to the program review committee (PRC). 8 On July 21, 1992, the PRC terminated Santiago from CRC. The trial court
found that as a result of referral to PRC, Santiago remained at WCI, in the hospital, until June 30, 1993. 9
Santiago appealed Zangl's determination to Dennis Danner, a Division of Intensive Sanctions supervisor. Santiago cited as ground for his appeal only [205 Wis.2d 311] that he was not guilty and Zangl had not considered his account of what happened. On September 1, 1992, Danner affirmed Zangl's decision. Danner found that Zangl considered Santiago's account of what happened before rendering his decision and that "Santiago's behavior [at Plymouth Manor] created a risk of serious disruption and risk of injury to another person."
On September 9, 1992, Santiago filed his complaint in circuit court. While that action was pending, Danner ordered a rehearing on Santiago's conduct report. Santiago received a due process hearing on February 8, 1993, before a new examiner, Daniel Benzer. Santiago had an advocate. Schubert was the only witness. Examiner Benzer found Santiago not guilty of violating WIS.ADM.CODE § DOC 303.63 (violation of institution policies and procedures) and guilty of violating WIS.ADM.CODE § DOC 303.28 (disruptive conduct). He imposed a ten-day extension of Santiago's mandatory release date, without a referral to the PRC.
TRIAL COURT DECISIONS
Santiago's complaint alleged defendants had: (1) violated his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and (2) negligently performed ministerial duties. 10 He requested compensatory and punitive damages for each day he spent out of the CRC program and for [205 Wis.2d 312] violation of his rights, and "[a]ll other and further relief deemed appropriate."
A. Pretrial Decisions
The parties filed numerous motions for summary judgment and reconsideration. We summarize the trial court's four written opinions on the motions.
1. Section 1983 Claim
The court ruled that Santiago's procedural due process rights were violated at the first conduct report hearing because he did not have a staff advocate or an adequate opportunity to prepare a defense. Santiago did not waive his § 1983 claims by failing to raise the waiver hearing issue in his administrative appeal before Danner. Santiago had been denied substantive due process because insufficient evidence existed on which to find him guilty. The rehearing in February 1993 was "an incomplete cure" for the constitutional deprivations Santiago sustained in the first hearing.
The court held Santiago's intent not to waive a full due process hearing was undisputed but that a factual dispute existed whether his attempt to communicate that intent to Zangl was effective.
The court held that Zangl was not entitled to qualified immunity from suit on Santiago's claim that Zangl had violated his procedural and substantive due process rights. The court ruled that Zangl unreasonably held the hearing if he knew Santiago had not waived his due process rights. If the fact-finder found at trial that...

This Lent, we invite you to join Christ on his final earthly journey as we rediscover the very reason we remember and undertake this same pilgrimage year after year. We will be utilizing the daily Lenten devotional For God So Loved throughout this season. As a part of this, we invite you to join us for The Gathering, Sundays at 9:30, for further study and reflection. This will also tie in to our sermon series Sunday mornings from March 10-April 21.
The mission of our spiritual life ministry is to make disciples who are growing in the knowledge and likeness of Christ and to equip them for the work of ministry. To guide us in that mission, we have developed a model that identifies seven key areas of discipleship. We believe that it is God's desire for his church to grow in every way more and more like Christ, and in doing so, to be better equipped to share him with the world around us (Eph 4:11-16). As we give intentional focus to each of these discipleship categories, we allow God to use every opportunity to form us spiritually for his glory.
Click here to view our discipleship model.
Faith is a journey. To grow, we need to go deeper. We believe this happens when we move toward more authentic relationships with Jesus and one another. That's what Life Groups are all about: growing closer to others and to Jesus so we can become more like him. Are you ready to grow?
Our Spring season of Life Groups will be launching April 7. Now is a great time to get connected! Whether it's joining an existing group or being a part of a brand new one, we invite you to stop by our Life Groups table or contact Pastor Mike to get more information and get signed up.
Men of all ages are invited to join us for food, fellowship, and a brief lesson. This event takes place at 8:00 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month in the cafe of the church building. This is a great opportunity to be encouraged and meet other men in the church.

EC to decide Microsoft's fate by mid-July
The EC has a deadline of 19 July to take a decision on imposing stiff daily fines on Microsoft
Written by Graeme Wearden, Contributor on June 6, 2006
The European Commission may take until the middle of July to decide whether to impose a daily fine of 2m euros (£1.4m) on Microsoft.
Europe's Commissioners will meet for the last time before the summer break on 19 July. An EC spokesperson told journalists on Tuesday that this was the latest date on which a decision could be taken on the fine, which follows a landmark 2004 antitrust ruling.
EC sources later confirmed that a decision could be taken earlier, and denied that 19 July was inked in as D-Day in the Commission's ongoing battle with the software giant. "We've always been saying that we'll make a decision before the summer," said one insider.
In 2004, the EC ruled that Microsoft had failed to allow rivals to compete fairly in the server software market, and had stifled competition by bundling its Media Player with Windows.
Microsoft has since launched a version of Windows without Media Player and released server interoperability protocols for license — although this has failed to impress some critics.
At an appeal held in April, Microsoft argued that it should not be fined, claiming that it has complied with the 2004 ruling.

Concussion: Hollywood Spotlights Neuroscience
Richard S. Cowles, PsyD
While Hollywood adapts reality to create a good story, it's worth fact-checking this movie's science to better clarify chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
Concussion, starring Will Smith as the Nigerian-born forensic pathologist Bennet Omalu, chronicles the heroic struggle of Dr. Omalu to force the corporate goliath that is the National Football League (NFL) to "tell the truth." The movie puts a human face – and heart – on neuroscience, as the charismatic Will Smith creates a charming and memorable portrait of a man of great integrity.
As a scientist and clinician who sees severe concussion cases in clinic on a daily basis, I enjoyed the movie. I hope it draws attention to and fosters healthy discussion about the risks of brain injury. While Hollywood should always be forgiven for placing importance on telling a good story over giving precise facts and a comprehensive discussion, in this case it is worth fact-checking this movie's science to increase awareness of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
My greatest concern with the movie would actually be the title. This movie is not about concussions, it is about CTE. And it is important not to confuse the two. A concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a physiological disruption of brain function as the result of a traumatic event that is manifested by at least one of the following: an alteration of consciousness, loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or focal neurological deficit that may or may not be transient.1 It is an acute event, with varying lengths of recovery time. In the brain tissue at a microscopic level, the traumatic event causes the rapid release of the excitatory amino acids glutamine and aspartate while affected neurons experience a calcium influx and microtubule disruption.2
In contrast, CTE is a neurodegenerative disease rather than an event. It is a slowly progressing tauopathy with a clear environmental etiology, characterized neuropathologically by atrophy of the frontal lobe, medial temporal lobe, thalamus, mammillary bodies, and brainstem. Clinically one sees memory disturbance, behavioral and personality changes, Parkinsonism, speech abnormalities, dysphagia, ocular abnormalities, and gait abnormalities.3 Importantly, CTE can only be diagnosed by histopathological examination after death. There is still debate in the field as to whether CTE is caused by concussive blows, subconcussive blows, or a combination.4 But severity of CTE seems to correlate with the length of time engaged in a contact sport and only speculation exists as to the minimum number of closed head injuries necessary to cause CTE.3
Other issues I took with the movie had to do with scope. While the movie focuses on football, CTE has been found on autopsy in ice hockey players, professional wrestlers, mixed martial artists, rugby players, and major league baseball players, which is not mentioned in the film. The movie also primarily dramatizes the behavioral and personality changes, confusion, and disorientation that can occur in CTE. However, the progressive slowing of muscle movements, dysarthria, vertigo, and deafness can be more prominent than cognitive and behavioral changes in many individuals.
Finally, and admittedly much too punctiliously on my part, I found a few potentially scientifically misleading moments in the film. Dr. Oamlu did indeed conclude after pathological examination of 50-year-old former Pittsburgh Steeler's Center Mike Webster – the first case of CTE he discovered – that Webster's brain was healthy and normal looking,5 just as in the movie. However, atrophy is typically present in CTE with ventricular dilation that would result in a rather unhealthy-looking brain being more typical of CTE. Next, an animated graphic of a blow to the brain early in the movie showed what looked like blood seeping across the brain, which is unrepresentative as hemorrhage is not a common occurrence in concussive or subconcussive blows. Lastly, the images of tissue Dr. Omalu ponders over in the movie showed prominent β-amyloid plaques as well as neurofibulary tangles, characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. In CTE, less than 50% of cases have shown diffuse β-amyloid plaques.
In turning from Hollywood to the far less glamorous world of clinical practice, it is important for clinicians who see head injuries to have a functional understanding of this disease. The first description of the syndrome harkens back to the 1920s. Its first mention is typically attributed to Martland in 1928, when he coined the term "punch drunk syndrome" from his study of boxers.6 Lampert and Hardman later termed the same syndrome "dementia pugilistica" in 1984.7 In 2005, Dr. Omalu with DeKosky, Minister, Kamboh, Hamilton, and Wecht named the syndrome CTE in their paper "Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a National Football League Player," just as portrayed in the movie.
One of the leading research groups in CTE is the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy (CSTE), which maintains a brain bank of professional athletes' brains. They have extensively studied a large number of cases. Alarmingly, the youngest CTE case reported was a 17-year-old: Nathan Stiles who died a few hours after playing in the Spring Hill High School homecoming football game in Kansas.8 Perhaps more alarming, I have heard co-founder of CTSE Robert Stern, PhD discuss the high rates of CTE in professional athletes and in September of 2015, the CTSE announced CTE has been found in 87 of 91 former NFL players autopsied. That is 96% of their sample.9
In terms of initial identification, a deficit in executive function may be one of the earliest symptoms of CTE.10 Executive functions are the most complex operations the human brain performs, such as judgment, perspective taking, initiative, inhibition of inappropriate responses and behavior, prioritization, and efficient retrieval of information from memory. Executive functions can be evaluated by a series of non-invasive, neurocognitive tests performed by specialists.
But identification can be elusive. In clinical practice it can be difficult to differentiate CTE from a post-concussion syndrome. Post-concussion syndrome is the persistence of common concussion symptoms such as confusion, headache, dizziness, fatigue, vision changes, attention/concentration deficit, and physical and cognitive slowing for more than 3 months,11 and the condition generally improves over time. In comparison, CTE generally worsens over time as the disease progresses. Most importantly, post-concussion syndrome is a treatable condition, while there is no cure for CTE.
Currently, research is looking into what the risk factors are for developing CTE and how CTE might successfully be treated in the future. Concussion should never go ignored and proper rest and treatment are critical to avoid long-term consequences such as CTE.4 Frank and honest discussion with concussion specialists, including sports medicine physicians, neurologists, and neuropsychologists, about any head injuries is the best way to determine proper treatment and what precautions to take to avoid the devastating course of CTE.
At the end of the credits for Concussion, the words "Be Moved" appear (Sony Picture's slogan). It is my hope that the viewers of this movie will indeed be moved to appreciate the dangers of repetitive head injury and the role of neuroscience in assessment, treatment, and prevention.

Executive Producer: Siegfried Loch
Shreefpunk blasts its way into the heads of its fans with a new sort of jazz – anarchic, having no respect for the listeners' expectations; nevertheless it has a big love for exhilarating melodies and gripping groves. After its founding in 2003, the four began playing in small clubs, happy to have as many people in the audience as were on the stage. Released in 2007, the studio production Shreefpunk plus Strings (ACT 9657-2) was followed by a phenomenal reverberation from the press, invitations to the most important festivals, and tours of Australia, West Africa, and Europe.
Now comes the release of the second Shreefpunk album, Shreefpunk Live in Köln (ACT 9663-3). Alongside the young musicians on the new CD, there is a long-time star of the subversive scene who has been both captivating and irritating his fans for decades: Django Bates, "One of the naughtiest boys in music ever…" (BBC) – the ideal guest for the audacious fervour of a Shreefpunk live album.
Shreefpunk founder Matthias Schriefl explaines that, "by the time I was 15, I was already a fan of Django Bates' indescribably crazy music." Shreefpunk met up with the approximately 20-year-older Bates at the Cologne Philharmonic Hall in October 2008. The results were so phenomenal that, although the album had actually been completed, three of the evening's pieces were immediately added to the "Live at the Stadtgarten" CD. The recording now spans 73 minutes, and is a veritable monument to a summit meeting of contrarians.
Why a live CD? "We've played a lot of concerts since our first CD, and our music has evolved," says Schriefl. "It was the perfect time for us to capture the power of our band when we play live, all the energy with its rawness and remarkable coincidences." The record bristles with bizarre phrases; now and then it surprises with the clang of cowbells, bird whistles, a plastic melodica, or children's toys, and again and again pictures crop up: on "Wien" the wonderfully schizophrenic waltz metropolis flashes by as snow-covered kitsch. As the trumpet begins to solo on "Flying to New York", the band seems to be flying backwards, and "KVB" tells of lonely figures on over-crowded subway platforms.
In the last years the 27 year old Schriefl has received a host of prizes for his projects and his play as soloist. His most recent one was the North Rhine Westphalia Artistic Achievement Award 2008. The jury said that, "Schriefl's art is adventurous and allows us to listen anew." With Shreefpunk Schriefl has built himself a musical home. We aren't listening to some project hastily put together by telephone; this is a real band. Schriefl and his Cologne friends Johannes Behr (guitar), Robert Landfermann (bass), and Jens Düppe (drums) have developed a level of co-operation over the years of their musical friendship that the British press has recently lauded as "telepathic interplay". "It's not very often that there are real bands," says Schriefl; "the only way you can really evolve musically is to have a group that stays together for some time, like us."
Shreefpunk often works with a string quartet (Hannah Weirich, Nadine-Goussi Aguigah, Axel Porath und Thomas Schmitz). The string players – all of them renowned freelancers in the New Music scene – uncharacteristically make use of techniques borrowed from soul and folk music, and in so doing they create improvised carpets of sound out of the given material; one can even hear them singing from time to time. After the concert in the Cologne philharmonic hall, a sweat-drenched Axel Porath enthused, "Being onstage with Shreefpunk is incredible! These are stringently composed pieces, but when we start to improvise, all hell breaks loose. You don't have any idea what is going to happen next."
Is Shreefpunk punk? Schriefl says, "Think about Plato; he was afraid of musical innovations, because more than any other medium, music can shake the human soul and the laws of the land. When I look around, that's exactly what the world needs."

This article addresses a question for those seeking to deepen engagement with nontraditional students for strategies of widening participation in the higher education setting. The question is as follows: how can the academic subject be made more "open" to what the student (and therefore also the nontraditional student) can bring to it? "Openness" is intended in two senses here that each generates its own corollary questions. First, there is the question of how the academic subject as a discipline can be seen as open to society and culture: and to the "world" of the student. Second, how can the teaching of the academic subject be opened up to what the student has to offer: what forms of pedagogy do we need? Reflecting philosophically, the article outlines responses to each of these questions. Responding to the first question, with particular focus on Western science tradition, concepts from debates with the philosophy of science are employed to highlight the interactions between society and the academic discipline in its real historical development. In response to the second question, the tradition of Critical Pedagogy is foregrounded as offering the types of openness to student involvement in and contribution to the academic discipline. Such approaches, it is suggested, can create spaces in which nontraditional students, by virtue of their social experiences, cultural identities and personal characteristics, can become more deeply engaged in the academic and intellectual life of their chosen academic subject. The article then combines a number of theoretical perspectives to suggest that the social and cultural mix within the student body is something that warrants renewed attention for academic life and work.

Deirdre M. Daly, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Tyler C. Amon, Special Agent in Charge of EPA's Criminal Investigation Division in New England, announced that STEPHEN CRAIG, 66, of Essex, pleaded guilty today in Hartford federal court to one count of making a false statement to the federal government.
STEPHEN CRAIG is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant on November 2, 2017, at which time he faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000.
This matter has been investigated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Criminal Investigation Division, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas P. Morabito.


Among the many attributes that helped Kobe Bryant tower above his opposition was what he long ago deemed Mamba Mentality. It's both the physical and psychological elements of basketball, of which Bryant carefully mastered throughout his triumphant career. He applies that sentiment, through color, to an all-new iteration of the Nike Kobe A.D.
The collection, anchored by the Mamba Mentality, is broken down into five color themes – blue (honesty), red (passion), grey (detached), purple (fearless) and yellow (optimism). Each of these represent the many emotions of Kobe Bryant, and the things he felt, endured and ultimately overcame to leave a legacy like few others before him.
The Nike Kobe A.D. Mid comes equipped with a wealth of performance updates. Lunarlon foam combines with Zoom Air for responsive cushioning, a Flywire upper aids in lockdown support, and engineered threading provides optimal traction at the outsole.
Look for the Nike Kobe A.D. Mid in all five colorways on August 24 at Nike SNKRS and select Nike Basketball retailers.

(i) If we consider prime factorization, $X=\prod_{p\le n,\, p \text{ prime}}p^{X_p}$, the distribution of $X$ determines a component process $(X_p)$ of the prime powers of $X$.
(ii) If we consider the integer partition of $X$: $X=\sum_{i\le n} Y_i$, with $Y_i\le Y_{i+1}$, the distribution of $X$ determines the distribution of a  component process $(Y_i)$.
Question: If $X$ is a continuous random variable on $(0,n)$ is there any analogous way to define continuous-time "components" of $X$? The correspondence need not be in the form of an equation such as in (i) or (ii) above, but the $(X_i)$ should be dependent and (not necessarily uniquely) determined by $X$.
Update: The only example that I have is $X_i=1_{\lbrace N\ge i\rbrace}$ (each $X_i$ is discrete, but $i$ takes on any real number in $(0,n)$).

Edward Eves Limited was a camera maker in Leamington Spa, England in the 1950s. Eves himself was a professional photographer, known for motor sport photography among other work. The company made one-shot colour-separation cameras, i.e. cameras in which the image-forming light is split into three parts to expose three monochrome plates simultaneously, each filtered through a red, blue or green filter. The three images are then combined in printing, to make a true colour image. The camera bodies are cast in Elektron magnesium alloy.
The company closed in 1972, and Edward Eves died in 1999.
