Back to the past for dodgy construction payment adjudications: Probuild and Maxcon
Posted on 23 February 2018 by Opinions on High

Probuild and Maxcon Case Page
Construction lawyers were very excited last week, when Australia's highest court handed down two decisions on the rights of principals to construction contracts to seek judicial review of adjudications made under security of payment legislation — Probuild Constructions (Aust) Pty Ltd v Shade Systems Pty Ltd [2018] HCA 4, and Maxcon Constructions Pty Ltd v Vadasz [2018] HCA 5.
Security of payment legislation has been enacted in every Australian state and territory to ensure that that construction contractors and sub-contractors are promptly paid for the work that they have performed. Although different in each state and territory, the legislation establishes a fast-track process for the interim resolution of progress payment disputes under construction contracts by an adjudicator. The two cases arose when decisions by adjudicators in relation to progress payments were sought to be challenged by principals for alleged errors of law.
The High Court answered the question of when an error by an adjudicator will entitle the principal to apply to the court to have the adjudication declared void and set aside. Numerous judges have provided different answers to this question since it was first considered in detail in the 2003 decision of Musico v Davenport [2003] NSWSC 977. The sad news, for those who have funded the intervening litigation, is that the High Court has basically taken us back to the position that was espoused in Musico almost 15 years ago.
Sadder still, the High Court hasn't exhaustively determined when a court will be allowed to set aside a determination because the requirements of the security of payment legislation have not been satisfied. As such, further litigation on the grey areas can be expected. Continue reading →

News: Secret men's evidence in the High Court
Posted on 22 February 2018 by Jeremy Gans
At the start of Friday's hearing of an application for leave to appeal Australia's first contested determination of compensation for loss of native title, Nettle J made it clear that he and Gordon J saw the topic as clearly deserving attention from the High Court:
Ladies and gentlemen, our present inclination, which is plainly tentative, is to think that the matter raises questions of principles of general importance which would warrant the grant of special leave.
Not only did Western Australia's Solicitor-General Peter Quinlan fail to convince the Court that the case was a poor one for testing those principles (because the Northern Territory didn't rely on a statutory rule limiting compensation), but he seemingly opened up a major new issue for the Court to consider: whether extinguishing native title is a deprivation of property for the purposes of the Constitution's requirement of just terms compensation. The Commonwealth's counsel Stephen Lloyd cited that issue (which he said would likely attract interventions from every state and territory) as well as the twenty regular appeal grounds now before the Court as reasons why the usual limit of twenty pages per party for submissions on appeal should be lifted to eighty or more, and why the full court hearing would take some four or five days. Calling the latter estimate 'a little alarming', Nettle J raised the page limit to fifty and told the parties to find a way to limit the hearing to three days.
Buried in the transcript is a further, relatively minor, but quite unusual issue the High Court will now encounter. Lloyd drew the Court's attention to:
some secret men's evidence that was confidential before Justice Mansfield. Different orders were made in relation to that to go to the Full Court which only allowed female judicial officers to see it – no other females have been allowed to see it so, no other court staff or the like.

News: Court may lose Nauru appellate role
Last Wednesday, the High Court conducted an unusual sitting, where two 'full court' (two or more judge) benches heard final appeals simultaneously in separate Canberra courtrooms. This joint sitting is the product of two oddities: first, the High Court's rare role hearing appeals from a single judge court, the Supreme Court of Nauru (allowing the Court to sit unusual three judge benches); and second, a recent uptick in such appeals. However, these may be amongst the last such sittings. Three weeks ago, at Nauru's 50th anniversary of its independence in 1968, Nauru's President Baron Waqa reportedly told the national parliament of a plan to terminate the High Court's role:
Severance of ties to Australia's highest court is a logical step towards full nationhood and an expression of confidence in Nauru's ability to determine its own destiny.
Maxcon Constructions Pty Ltd v Vadasz; Probuild Constructions (Aust) Pty Ltd v Shade Systems Pty Ltd
Posted on 19 February 2018 by Katy Barnett
Owen Hayford, 'Back to the past for dodgy construction payment adjudications: Probuild and Maxcon' (23 February 2018)
Owen Hayford and Hannah Stewart-Weeks, 'Construction contractors beware – common clauses may now be unenforceable after Maxcon Constructions v Vadasz (1 March 2018)
The High Court has dismissed two appeals against decisions of the South Australian Supreme Court (Maxcon) and the New South Wales Court of Appeal (Probuild) on when a court can review an adjudication decision about security of payments legislation. In both of these matters, the primary courts held that an adjudicator had made an error of law in adjudicating disputes over progress payments for construction projects. The NSWCA held that the security of payment legislation removed any judicial power to quash an arbitral decision for that error of law, and the SASCFC held that it was bound to follow the NSWCA ruling. These rulings were upheld by the High Court.

Australian Building and Construction Commissioner v Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union
The High Court has remitted a proceeding concerning a civil breach of federal industrial relations law to the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia to consider whether to order an individual defendant to pay the penalty personally. The defendants, a building industry union and an employee of that union, admitted to breaching s346 of the Fair Work Act 2009, which prohibits coercing someone into taking industrial activity, by organising a blockade of cement supplies to a government building site in order to put pressure on the builders to hire a representative of the union. In proceedings brought by the predecessor to the Australian Building and Construction Commission, the Federal Court imposed a civil penalty of $60,000 for the union and $18,000 for the employee. The amount of penalty was not disputed before the High Court.
The issue that went to the High Court was the 'non-indemnification' order that accompanied the civil penalty on the employee. Continue reading →

News: Major commercial implications in latest leave grants
After rejecting twenty–seven special leave applications on the papers in recent weeks, the High Court granted over half of the applications in today's oral hearings. Several of the cases raise major points of principle with significant commercial implications: compensation for loss of life, arrangements for near bankrupt companies, compensation for native title and the tax valuation of mining companies. In some instances at least, these are balanced by human elements. Notably, in one sad matter – involving the question of compensation for a shortened life expectancy – the transcript reveals that the defendant volunteered to pay the plaintiff's High Court costs (on both appeal and cross-appeal) and that that the High Court offered to hear the matter speedily this April in light of the plaintiff's deteriorating condition.
The six new matters that will proceed to the High Court's appellate jurisdiction are: Continue reading →
News: State of play in the Court of Disputed Returns
The High Court entered its summer holiday having fully resolved nine matters in the Court of Disputed Returns concerning the 2016 federal election in four full court judgments, one each concerning one of the five disqualifications for federal MPs set out in s44 of the Constitution:
Any person who:
(i) is under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or a citizen of a foreign power; or
(ii) is attainted of treason, or has been convicted and is under sentence, or subject to be sentenced, for any offence punishable under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State by imprisonment for one year or longer; or
(iii) is an undischarged bankrupt or insolvent; or
(iv) holds any office of profit under the Crown, or any pension payable during the pleasure of the Crown out of any of the revenues of the Commonwealth; or
(v) has any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any agreement with the Public Service of the Commonwealth otherwise than as a member and in common with the other members of an incorporated company consisting of more than twenty-five persons;
shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives.
Re Canavan resolved seven challenges under ground (i) (dual citizenship), Re Culleton No 2 a challenge under ground (ii) (criminality), Re Nash No 2 a follow-up challenge to one of the successors of one of the Citizenship 7 under ground (iv) (office of profit under the Crown) and Re Day No 2, a challenge under ground (v) (pecuniary interest.) (Ground (iii) on bankruptcy has only been considered once by the High Court, three decades ago.)
However, the Court began this year with six more election challenges on its books. While no major judgments have since been published, there has been a lot of activity and plenty of diversions in these matters in recent weeks. So, where are they now? Continue reading →
Falzon v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection
Posted on 7 February 2018 by Martin Clark
The High Court has dismissed an application challenging the validity of s 501(3A) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). Section 501(3A) provides that the Minister of Immigration and Border Protection must cancel a visa held by a person if the Minister is satisfied that person does not pass the character test due to a substantial criminal record, which includes being sentenced to a term of imprisonment of at least 12 months. The plaintiff is a Maltese national who has lived in Australia since the age of three, but never became an Australian citizen, and instead held an Absorbed Person Visa and a Class BF Transitional (Permanent) Visa as a 'lawful non-citizen'. In 2008, he was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to 11 years in prison. In March 2016 the Minister cancelled his Absorbed Person Visa, which meant that the Minister was taken to have cancelled the other visa. The plaintiff was taken into immigration detention, and sought revocation of the decision to cancel his visa. The Assistant Minister refused, and the plaintiff commenced proceedings in the High Court's original jurisdiction. The plaintiff contended that s 501(3A) is invalid for conferring federal judicial power on the Minister, contrary to Ch III of the Constitution, because it empowers the Minister to punish him for offences he has committed.
The High Court unanimously dismissed the application. The joint judges (Kiefel CJ, Bell, Keane and Edelman JJ) held that s 501(3A) does not authorise or require detention, but merely requires that his visa be cancelled because of his criminal convictions: it changed his legal status from lawful non-citizen to unlawful non-citizen, and this change meant he was liable to removal from Australia, and detention to facilitate that removal.
After summarising the facts (at [1]ff) and the statutory scheme (at [9]ff), the joint judges turned to each of the plaintiff's four propositions. The first, that the power to punish an offence against a Commonwealth law is exclusive to ch III courts was uncontroversial (at [14]–[17]). Continue reading →
Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police v Hart; Commonwealth of Australia v Yak 3 Investments Pty Ltd; Commonwealth of Australia v Flying Fighters Pty Ltd
Posted on 7 February 2018 by Jeremy Gans
The High Court has allowed an appeal against a decision of the Court of Appeal of Queensland on the meaning and application of federal proceeds of crime legislation. The proceeds of crime proceedings follow a successful criminal prosecution of Steven Irvine Hart, the respondent in the one of the three High Court appeals, for his involvement in tax minimisation schemes. During that prosecution, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions obtained a restraining order on property under Hart's 'effective control'. When Hart was convicted in 2006, the restrained property became subject to automatic forfeiture under s 92 of the Proceeds of Crimes Act 2002 (Cth). The present proceedings involve two subsequent actions: first, an action by companies against the Commonwealth under s 102 of the Act claiming an interest in some of the forfeited properties (respondents in two of the three High Court Appeals) for their interests (or an equivalent value) to be transferred to them; second, an action by the Commonwealth DPP under s 141 of the Act seeking a declaration that any property the companies recover in this way be made available to pay any pecuniary penalty Hart was liable to pay. The companies generally succeeded in both actions at the trial in Queensland's District Court in 2013 and following the Commonwealth's appeal to Queensland's Court of Appeal, with the Commonwealth ordered to pay the companies the value of their interests and denied the ability to use that money to pay a nearly $15M pecuniary penalty that Hart was ordered to pay to the Commonwealth in 2010.
The High Court (Kiefel CJ, Bell, Gageler and Edelman JJ, and Gordon J) unanimously allowed the Commonwealth's appeal against the orders to pay the companies, but dismissed the Commonwealth's appeal against the refusal to allow it to use the interests the company's retained to pay off Hart's pecuniary penalty. Justice Gordon's judgment sets out the facts, background and orders. The plurality agreed with Gordon J (at [2]) on the facts, the orders and the dismissal of the Commonwealth's appeal relating to offsetting the pecuniary penalty, but provided alternative reasons for allowing the Commonwealth's appeal relating to order to restore the companies' interests.

Q: iTextSharp line separator disappears with PdfPageEventHelper I'm producing PDF reports using the iTextSharp library. I have a paragraph as title with a line underneath.
When I add an PdfPageEventHelper class as PageEventListener to my writer which handles the background and page numbering on each page, the line disappears. I think it's about the alignment of the background and the line so the line is behind the background but I can't seem to arrange it in front.

The Nomination: Brooke Camire's inner drive and spirit has shined since she was a little girl. Her can-do attitude (always with a smile) has led her to have many academic, leadership, volunteer, and sports achievements. Just in her senior year alone she is the captain of Cheer and Track, President of her class, Pep Club, and VP of Peer helpers. Brooke has been a Dirigo Girls State Delegate both her junior and senior year, she is the DAR chapter winner, and has been accepted to USM Acclerated Law Program with a Presidential Scholarship.
Tell me about your leadership opportunities.
In my school and community, I serve in various leadership roles ranging from Class President to an officer of various peer outreach groups to a leader as a three-season varsity athlete. It's been a passion of mine to make our school climate a more positive place for ALL students. I try to achieve this goal through these leadership roles by making it my everyday mission to spread kindness, awareness and act as a role model for others.
With all your amazing extracurricular activities, how do you keep your life organized?
Often, I am in a position where I must prioritize one commitment above another or feel as if my life is "all work, no play". However, even in the moments of stress I find comfort in knowing that all these obligations are bettering my life, and more importantly attributing to the greater cause of helping my peers, teammates and community. My family, friends and teachers have been an extraordinary support system who constantly invest and believe in me, they encourage me to grow and pursue my passions. I couldn't do it all without them.
My perception of leadership is not believing that I am better than others, but believing my purpose is to help better the lives of others. I try to show this ideology of mine through how I approach people as equals rather than as inferiors, a behavior that not many leaders or older students follow in high school. I hope that in this way, alongside my anti-substance platform, I can be a good role model for my younger peers and encourage them to treat people with this similar kindness.
Tell me about the DAR chapter and your duties within.
I was nominated by faculty to be the school recipient of the Daughters of American Revolution (DAR) award, in which I had to participate in an essay contest. I won the Chapter division and my essay is currently being judged at the state level. For DAR, I am expected to embody the qualities of a good citizen such as dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. This organization empowers females to find strength in their voice through civic engagement and it is an honor to be a part of it.
After graduation, I will be attending college with a major in Political Science and a dual minor in International Affairs and Leadership Studies. I hope to then attend law school to earn a degree in international law. I plan to use this degree to represent nonprofit organizations that supply aid to developing countries, advocating for them on an international platform. I also hope to engage in intricate groundwork in these developing nations in the future years.
Brooke will be featured in Issue 16, coming soon!


(WSVN) - Faking a smile for customers may have a few adverse side effects, according to a recently released study.
Researchers at Penn State University and the University at Buffalo studied the drinking habits of people who routinely work with the public, such as employees in food service, nurses who work with patients, and teachers who work with students.
Researchers said they found a link between those who consistently faked or amplified positive emotions or suppressed negative emotions and heavier drinking after work.
Grandey said the results suggest that employers should re-think "service with a smile" polices.
Grandey hypothesizes that by faking or suppressing emotions in front of customers, employees use a lot of self-control. Afterward, those same employees may not have as much self-control left to control how much they drink.
Researchers said they used data from phone interviews with 1,592 U.S. workers. The data came from a larger survey funded by the National Institutes of Health, called the National Survey of Work Stress and Health. That study included almost 3,000 participants who were representative of the U.S. working population.

Gerald William McEntee (January 11, 1935 – July 10, 2022) was an American trade union official.  He served as president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), an affiliate of the AFL-CIO, from 1981 to 2012.

Early life
McEntee was born in Philadelphia on January 11, 1935.  His father, William, worked as a city sanitation worker and helped organize fellow municipal workers during the 1930s; his mother, Mary Josephine (Creed), was a housewife. He studied economics at La Salle University, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1956.  He served a short stint in the US Army.

Career
After graduating, McEntee became part of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) District Council 33, which was his father's union.  Several months later, he began working as a staff member of its Philadelphia local council.  He worked as a political strategist for the powerful municipal union until 1969.  He played a key role in the passage of Act 195 – the Pennsylvania law granting state government employees the right to organize and collectively bargain – in June 1970, after arranging a picket of 5,000 public workers outside the Pennsylvania State Capitol two months earlier.  He then talked those employees into joining AFSCME.

The drive to organize Pennsylvania undertaken by McEntee was described by Eric Arnesen as "the largest and most successful organizing campaign in US labor history", helping to elevate his reputation nationally.  He was elected Executive Director at the founding convention of AFSCME Council 13 in Pennsylvania in 1973, and as an International Vice President of AFSCME a year later.  In that capacity, he was responsible for negotiating a deal with the state government that encompassed generous health insurance and prescription drug benefits.  He subsequently presided over one of the largest public worker strikes in US history at the time when the state attempted to renege on its agreement several years later.

McEntee was eventually elected president of AFSCME after the death of Jerry Wurf in December 1981.  He was re-elected to a full term three years later.  Under his leadership, gender pay equity was placed at the forefront of contract bargaining throughout the 1980s.  He also oversaw a significant increase in the use of AFL funds for campaign finance, with over $30 million in the 1996 and 1998 elections and over $40 million in the 2000 election.  His early endorsement of Bill Clinton in 1992, when some of the party establishment and Democratic Party voters were still on the fence about his candidacy, was recognized as helping him secure the party's nomination and ultimately the presidency.  He was later responsible for the AFL's endorsement of Al Gore in 2000, as well as stymieing a 2005 plan by George W. Bush to partially privatize Social Security.

McEntee supported John J. Sweeney in his rise to power in the AFL-CIO.

McEntee was a member of the  Democratic National Committee and was a "super delegate" in the Pennsylvania 2008 Democratic National Convention delegation.  His gross salary of $1,020,751 in 2012, his last year on the job, coupled with his use of $325,000 in union money to charter private jets in 2010 and 2011, became an issue in the campaign to succeed him.  After over three decades as AFSCME president, his plans to retire were announced in November 2011,  and he was succeeded by Lee Saunders in 2012.

Personal life
McEntee's first marriage was to Janet Wills. They had four children, one of whom predeceased him in 2017, and eventually divorced.  He later married Barbara Rochford in 1989, and remained married to her until his death.

McEntee died on July 10, 2022, at his home in Naples, Florida. He was 87, and had a stroke prior to his death.

This lab demonstrates how easy it is to develop a Node.js application by using IBM Bluemix DevOps Services and to deploy that application to IBM Bluemix. So what do these products do? IBM Bluemix DevOps Services is a place where you can collaborate with others to develop, track, plan, and deploy software. You might be familiar with the previous name for DevOps Services: JazzHub. Bluemix is an open-standards cloud-based platform where you can run the applications you develop in DevOps Services. As you work through this lab, you will become familiar with how to use DevOps Services to deploy applications to Bluemix.
This lab takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
First, before you start the lab, you must register for IBM Bluemix DevOps Services at: https://hub.jazz.net.
After you have registered and received your IBM ID through email, or if you already have an IBM ID, you can start the lab. If you see references to an IBM Bluemix account, you should use your IBM ID for that account.
In this tutorial, you start by forking a sample project. When you fork a project, you create a new DevOps Services project that has a copy of the code in the project that you forked.
Open spirit | Sentiment Analysis App.
You can explore the project before deciding to fork it.
Click FORK PROJECT to copy the code into a new project.
In the Fork Project window, enter a unique project name, your Bluemix space information, and click CREATE. The forking process might take a few minutes depending on the size of the project. When you fork the project, a Git repository hosted at DevOps Services is created for your project and a copy of the code in the original project is automatically pushed to your new project's repository.
When the project is forked, click EDIT CODE to begin working with the code.
You now have a fork of the Sentiment Analysis App. In order for the app to run successfully, you'll need to update the application so it has Twitter keys.
By default, the readme.md will be displayed in the right pane. Scroll down until you see the section, "To get your own Twitter Application Keys." Follow the instructions to get Twitter keys. You will need to sign in to your Twitter account.
Save your changes to app.js by selecting File > Save in the online editor.

For the Branch, select master.
For the Stage trigger, select Automatically execute jobs when a change is pushed to Git.
In the Jobs tab, click ADD JOB.
Leave the default values and click SAVE.
Now, any time you push a commit to the branch selected in the Deploy From menu, a new deployment will be kicked off and listed in the Recent Auto-Deployments table.
Let's make another trivial change and push it to your repository, so we can see the auto-deployment in action.
In the DevOps Services editor, open the app.js file.
Change something trivial within the HTML tags and save the changes.
In the left navigation bar, click the Git Repository icon.
Your change is now ready to commit. Select the changed file and enter a description of the change.
The change is in the Outgoing section and still needs to be pushed to your Git repository, so click Push. The change will be pushed, and the page will update to show no more pending changes. For more information about pushing changes, see the open source documentation for Orion.
Open your auto-deployment status page by clicking BUILD & DEPLOY. You will see the job status, the last commit message, and the deployment status.
When the deployment completes, open your application again to verify the auto-deployed changes.
With node.js apps, you can make changes to static files, like HTML or CSS, and have them immediately included in the deployed app by using the Bluemix Live Sync feature. You can also edit code, however, you must click the Restart icon to have those changes reflected in the deployed app.
Verify that the app is running.
Toggle the Live Edit switch to the on position.
The app redeploys. When the redeploy is finished, the Live Edit mode is enabled and confirmed in the Run bar.
Edit a file and save the changes.
If you edited code, such as app.js or server.js, click the Restart icon.
Refresh the app in the browser. Changes to static files, like HTML and CSS files, are reflected in the deployed app momentarily.
Optional: Use the debug tools to troubleshoot issues.
Click Open Debugger. The file opens in a new browser tab or window where you can work with the code.
Use the debugging tools to create breakpoints and inspect variables in your code to isolate problem areas as you work.

Elation, pride, and a slew of questions: Clinical trial participants reflect on their own complicated reactions to Aduhelm approval
By Andrew Joseph June 8, 2021

For the roughly 3,500 people who volunteered as clinical trial participants for the Alzheimer's therapy Aduhelm, Monday's divisive approval spurred a complicated brew of emotions.
There was elation, yes — that the endorsement of the therapy by the Food and Drug Administration was a validation that maybe it really had been working for them, that it was letting them take the dog for a walk, or embrace new projects, or have a simple conversation with their spouse for more years than they could have otherwise.
"There hasn't been much good news for a long time, so it's good to have," said Ron DeChant, 68, of Avon Lake, Ohio, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2016.
There, too, was pride. Their participation in these trials enabled a milestone that the whole dementia field has been tracking obsessively. This is the first new Alzheimer's therapy approved in nearly two decades, and they were part of that — something giving other people in their shoes, and their caregivers, a reason for hope.
"Right now, it's all we've got, so it's my favorite," said Geri Taylor, 78, who received her first dose of Aduhelm more than six years ago.
But there were ever more dangling questions about the decision. They knew lots of experts doubted the therapy worked at all, and that even the FDA referees who approved the therapy acknowledged "some uncertainty about the drug's clinical benefit."
By approving Biogen's Alzheimer's drug, the FDA is shifting its rules. That is a giant risk
With the therapy now approved, did they need to go through the process of getting their insurers to cover the treatment like any other patients — or would they keep receiving their monthly infusions as they had as trial participants? The FDA also called for Biogen, the company behind Aduhelm, to conduct another trial to confirm a clinical benefit, so what did that mean for them? Could the therapy be yanked away once more?
And even if the therapy did work as its supporters claimed it did, it still just amounted to something that could slow the progression of the disease. That was no small thing, but Aduhelm is not a cure, nor does it reverse cognitive losses.
'The price is bewildering': The cost of Biogen's Alzheimer's drug may lead payers to erect roadblocks
Doctors said Monday they knew they were going to have to try to set realistic expectations for patients who would be starting the therapy now that it was approved, but the participants in the trials are well aware of the fact that disease progression did not halt entirely when they started their infusions.
"As I reflect on all this work and time — and all these needles and these blood draws and these MRIs — I'm delighted that I'm a part of it and have helped move the field forward, but I'm also cognizant that we have so much more to do," said Phil Gutis, 59, of New Hope, Pa. "We moved the needle, but this is not a dance-around-the-Christmas-tree moment."

Gutis, a onetime New York Times reporter, has been feeling well enough lately that he's picked up some proofreading work. Alzheimer's hasn't just been robbing him of his memories, but of his identity as well, so it felt good that he could devote his mind to a project.
But there were humbling moments too. He had a cognitive assessment two weeks ago, and he couldn't remember the date, got confused about what the big hand on a clock does, and only came up with five words that started with F in one minute. He had gone in thinking he was going to knock his test out of the park that day, he said.
"And I did not knock it out of the park."

A roundup of STAT's top stories of the day.
Theirs is a group of clinical trial participants that has already experienced a far more chaotic journey than your average drug trial volunteer. They felt the devastation in March 2019 when Biogen said it was pulling the plug on the trials because the therapy, then known as aducanumab, did not appear to work. They were whipsawed seven months later when Biogen revised its stance and said that further analysis showed the therapy could in fact slow patients' decline — resulting in a strange mix of confusion, anger, but also renewed hope. It meant the study participants could once again start receiving monthly infusions of the therapy.
For them and their caregivers, it is difficult to say for sure whether and how Aduhelm might have helped them. They only knew their experiences as they were; they couldn't say what the alternative might have been, if there hadn't been the therapy.
FAQs: What you need to know about the Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm
When Susan Woskie's wife Debby Rosenkrantz was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's, "we grasped for any straws, any incremental help," Woskie said.
But over the years, as Rosenkrantz participated in the studies, the Cambridge, Mass. couple came to recognize both the potential benefits and the limitations of what the therapy could do.
"In the beginning of the trial, she had higher hopes for the medication than it was able to provide, but I think now it just feels like, there's not many things we can do," Woskie said. "Exercise, eat right, don't do this, do this, don't drink alcohol in excess, take your vitamins. But there's not many things we can do. Having something that at least provides some benefit is a positive."
Why Biogen may be sitting on the most lucrative product in pharmaceutical history
Rosenkrantz said that with the approval, she hoped that the other people in her Alzheimer's support group could now access the therapy she's been getting for years, even as they hope that this is just a first step, with more treatments to come.
"To me, there's now something to offer them, which makes this feel better as a community, as people who live with Alzheimer's," she said.

If Aduhelm really did slow the disease process, that amounted to a meaningful benefit, participants stressed. For DeChant and his wife Colleetta, it was more time for him to be there — not just physically, but also, to whatever extent possible, cognitively — for the big events in the lives of their three children.
"We have a wedding and a grandbaby coming," Colleetta said. "We have all sorts of good things with our kids."
Ron, who had to give up his career as a pharmacist because of his Alzheimer's, felt Aduhelm "changes what I can do and what I can't do, and how I can talk and I can't talk."
But he then asked his wife: "Did I say that right?"
An extra twist in the FDA's Alzheimer's decision: no limits on which patients can get the drug
Cathy Schaefer of Fort Myers, Fla., said she felt aducanumab helped her husband Warren, a trial participant, with his everyday functioning. He could remember what he needed at the grocery store, and where in the grocery store those items were, she said. She hopes other people will see the same effects.
"I'm excited for them," she said.
After Biogen in October 2019 revived aducanumab and said trial participants could restart their infusions, it took months for some volunteers to begin them again, with the Covid-19 pandemic adding another hurdle.
Warren wasn't able to pick back up with his infusions until June 2020, Cathy said, and just a few months later, in November, he died at 74. The official cause was Covid-19, Cathy said, but she couldn't help but think that his Alzheimer's, which she believed accelerated during the break in his infusions, played a role.
With Warren's Alzheimer's, Cathy knew they weren't going to have all that many years left together. But on Monday, she spoke by phone from a trip to Arizona. She was there for a wedding, and had just played golf, and part of her wondered whether there was some other reality — if the course of aducanumab's odyssey had been different — in which Warren could have been there with her.

Lawsuit: Rowan County Officers Tore Woman's Shoulder During Traffic Stop
WFAE | By Associated Press
Gwendolyn Glenn
Salisbury Police Department
A federal lawsuit filed by a Georgia woman claims officers from Rowan County near Charlotte used excessive force during a traffic stop in 2019 when they pulled her from the car by her hair and tore her rotator cuff.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday by Stephanie Bottom of Atlanta claims she posed no threat to officers from the Salisbury Police Department and the Rowan County Sheriff's Office when she was pulled over in May 2019. But they approached her vehicle with guns drawn and later violated her rights by using excessive force, the lawsuit said. Salisbury is about 45 miles northeast of Chalrotte.
Bottom, now 68 years old, is a Black librarian. She said she was driving to Raleigh for a funeral in May 2019 when she was pulled over for speeding and failing to heed to blue lights, the Charlotte Observer reported.
Bottom said she was listening to music loudly in her car and did not realize she was being pulled over, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges that two officers grabbed Bottom by her arm and her hair, later throwing her out of the vehicle and on to the ground.
Once on the ground, officers twisted Bottom's arm behind her back, causing her "shoulder to 'pop,' tearing her rotator cuff and causing severe injury," the lawsuit said.
A Salisbury police officer involved in the stop "bragged about 'grabbing a handful of dreads,' and said 'at that point she earned it,'" the lawsuit said, citing footage from the officer's body camera.
Bottom said all of the arresting officers were white.
When she asked for medical assistance, she estimated that an hour elapsed before officers called for help, the lawsuit said. Bottom had surgery to repair the tear but the injury prevents her from raising her left arm above her head.
One of the officers named in the lawsuit declined to comment but said he no longer works for the police department. The other officers did not immediately respond to comment requests.
Linda McElroy, a spokesperson for the city of Salisbury, also declined to comment on the pending litigation. McElroy told the newspaper that "the Salisbury Police always strives for positive interactions with our residents and visitors, including in cases where we may suspect criminal activity."
Bottom pleaded guilty to failing to heed blue lights. She was also charged with speeding and resisting arrest but those were dismissed.
"Ms. Bottom was peaceful at all times, and officers knew they were dealing with an elderly woman," said Ian Mance, a lawyer with EmancipateNC who represents Bottom. "Our complaint alleges these officers had no reason to use any force, much less the level of force they employed. Ms. Bottom wasn't even arrested."

Every company should be implementing several social media management tools in order to make sure that they are effectively engaging with users, managing their marketing team to avoid duplicate work, and consolidating their time.
Well guess what? We have three social media management tools that can accomplish all of those tasks and we're going to share them with you!
True Reach- the number of people you influence, both within your immediate network and across their extended networks.
Amplification – indicates how much you influence people.
Network Influence – measures the influence of your network.
Don't worry if your score is low at first, especially if you're business is new to social media. Klout is a great way to test what works and what doesn't. Generally speaking Klout amongst other social media management tools, should be looked at on a bi-monthly basis.
Also be sure to enter a topic for your business, so you can see how your score fairs among top competition.
There are a few social media management tools that can help your team keep up with assignments, deadlines, and time management, but I've yet to use a tool as effective as Asana for project management.
Its no wonder why either when Dustin Moskovitz and Justin Rosenstein, Facebook co-founders, are the brains behind the whole operation.
In comparison to Google Docs, Asana really does a much better job at keeping your team on task with deadlines and project details. We're sure that you'll love it!
Now that you've measured your social media influence, looked over some analytics, and found a task manager to keep your team on track, its time for social media management tools that can help you make the most of your time and allow you to send out social media marketing campaigns out across all channels.
Thats where the 7 Minute Dashboard comes in and saves the day.
To understand the concept, consider how in Outlook, you can pull in your AOL, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, & Hotmail e-mail accounts all into one account.
Instead of logging in and out of 5 different e-mail accounts, It's much simpler to manage your e-mail from one Outlook account location. This ease and convenience encourages you to check in and communicate via email more often.
This type of thinking is what created the 7 Minute Dashboard. From this one account, you can pull in all of your Facebook personal, Pages, and Group accounts, Twitter accounts, LinkedIn accounts, and blog accounts to one place and engage with your friends, followers, or whomever is connected with you.
You can add links, posts photos, share videos or just simply leave messages in specific groups of your choosing or on people's walls.
Rather than logging into each site, you are able to engage with all social connections from one simple location in just minutes each day.
So tell us what you think about Klout, Asana, and the 7 Minute Dashboard. Do you have any other social media management tools that you'd like to suggest?

Calderon Pushing Hinky 'Gut-Amend' Bill
by CalWatchdog Staff | July 11, 2011 8:28 am
By KATY GRIMES
A bill just signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown is apparently being reincarnated — but for what purpose is known only to the bill's author and perhaps Democratic Party leadership.
AB 155[2], by Assemblyman Charles Calderon[3] (D-Whittier), created a sales and use tax on Internet purchases. The bill was wrapped into budget bill AB 1X 28[4], along with two other Internet tax bills, and signed into law by Gov. Brown on June 29, causing Amazon to terminate the contracts of 25,000 Amazon California affiliates.
But last Wednesday, Calderon's bill was on the agenda in the Senate Governance and Finance Committee. This means that Calderon's staff is spending time on advancing the bill. And Senate Governance and Finance committee staff are spending time on the bill.
At the hearing, Calderon was asked why he was still pushing AB 155 after the governor already signed the budget bill. He said it was so he could continue to get press coverage on something that is an "identity issue" for him.
Interestingly, Project Vote Smart reports[5] that Calderon did not provide answers to the California State Legislative Election Political Courage Test. The test provides voters with an idea how a candidate would vote on the issues if elected.
"Assembly Member Charles M. Calderon refused to tell citizens where he/she stands on any of the issues addressed in the 2010 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests from Vote Smart, national media, and prominent political leaders. This candidate has demonstrated 0% courage during the test," according to the Vote Smart website[6].
This might partially explain why Calderon's office is not talking about why the Assemblyman is really still pushing the bill, as several calls and emails to his legislative staff were not returned.
The Senate governance committee was rather mum as well, despite a new committee analysis that speaks volumes: "On June 29th, Governor Brown signed AB 1X 28[7] (Blumenfield) which the identical provisions to AB 155[2] as well as the provisions of AB 153 (Skinner) and SB 234 (Hancock). The Committee may wish to consider the wisdom of advancing a bill that is already law."
Some Capitol insiders speculate that Calderon wants to use the bill as an empty vessel until the current session ends in order to "gut and amend" it.
However, according to several Capitol staffers, even the Democrats are scratching their heads over this. And they wouldn't do that if there really was a clear purpose for the bill.
If there is a purpose, only a few people know about it, and they aren't talking.
There are always lots of empty-vessel bills lying about the Capitol for end-of-session "gut and amend" actions. What is particularly bizarre about this is that legislators and staff don't need to go through committee hearings and waste staff time on a bill that is already law. It's an unnecessary expenditure of thousands of dollars — especially since they all have introduced spot bills sitting idle in both houses for just the purpose of gutting and amending.
Capitol staff say that only Calderon and Democratic Sen. Lois Wolk (Davis), Chair of the governance and Finance committee, know why.
One long-time Capitol staffer who asked to remain anonymous said, "This was first time I've seen this in my decade plus."
Gut and Amend
The "gut and amend" practice has been used in the California legislative process for many decades as a way to get things passed which can't be done using the traditional legislative process.
Used during the final days of a legislative session, "gut and amend" is what occurs when the entire contents of a bill are gutted, and replaced with new language that is often not even remotely similar to the old bill.
Some argue that the practice is effective. But opponents argue that the practice is a sneaky way to slip bad bills through, without transparency or even public input.
Calderon's AB 155 reincarnation is feeling more like the latter — particularly when his office will not talk about the intent.
And with no one wanting to speak on-the-record, there is something hinky going on — or should I say, something else is going on, even hinkier than usual at the Capitol.

Cancer Council WA and the Health Department have collaborated on an initiative to help home renovators learn to how properly identify and handle asbestos . This move comes following recent concerns that nearly half of West Australians would have difficulty identify hazardous materials.
The council and the Health Department have launched a free online course which will teach DIY renovators where to locate asbestos, how to safely handle and dispose of it, and how to access information regarding asbestos-related diseases.
With a rise in home renovations, there are worries that a large amount of people will be resorted to a less expensive option of DIY renovation, without being away of the potential dangers of asbestos.
Of note, is the fact that Australia has the highest per-capita rate of asbestos-related diseases in the world.
In other asbestos news, Newcastle Council Environmental Officers have been swamped with responding to reports of illegal asbestos dumping at Minmi Road Wallsend.
The trailer was found dumped on a vacant lot near the Caltex Service Station.
Officers are en rout to deal with the waste and move it to their Summerhill waste facility for analysis.

Q: Where to put connectionstring in 3-project solution? I'm trying to create my first Breeze application, here's my project structure:

As you see I'm trying to keep my solution in 3 layers/projects (I'm used to a single project/layer).
What I don't get is where I put my connectionstring (I wanna use localdb). In a web.config file obviously but where do I put this file?
Furthermore, Breeze is apparently looking for an .mdf file in LM.Web/App_Data - shouldn't my database reside in the project "LM.Model" ?
If anyone has tried this before, could you please give me some pointers?

A: Always put your connection string into the Web.config of your startup project, in your case, LM.Web.
In case you will be writing unit tests in the future, put your connection string into the unit test project also, into an App.config file.
Also if you are using a local database and the third party library you are using requires you to put the db file into LM.Web/App_Data, do so. Your DataAccess dll's job is to retrieve and manipulate data, but not to hold it.

Q: Debug WatchKit on real Apple Watch - Nothing happens I am struggling with debugging my WatchKit Extension/App on a real Apple Watch. Debugging both the iPhone App and the WatchKit Extension using the simulator the simulator is not problem:

*

*Select the WatchKit App Profile and run in Simulator ==> App is launched on in Watch Simulator and I can use breakpoints in the Extension code to debug.

*To debug the iPhone app as well I launch the app in the simulator and attach the debugger manually ==> I can use breakpoints in the iPhone Code to debug.

It is no problem to observe both the work of the iPhone app and the watch app. At least not in the simulator.
I would like to do the same thing on a real Apple Watch. But when I select the WatchKit App Profile and my real iPhone (instead of the Simulator) and click on "Run" nothing happens. This means Xcode seems to build and start the app but nothing happens on the devices. The status field in Xcode shows:

Building MyApp WatchKit App: MyApp WatchKit Extension
Building MyApp WatchKit App: Finishing...
Running MyApp on My iPhone 6

This is all. No debug Window, breakpoints are ignored or do not work and the app is not launched neither on the iPhone or on the Apple Watch.
I found other questions about problems with debugging on real devices (e.g. here) but they all deal with installation and signing issues. In my case both the iPhone App and the WatchKit App are installed without any problem. When I click the app icon on the Watch I can start and use the app. Problem is that I cannot debug this process.
Why do I need to debug the process on real devices? Well there is one thing I cannot test using the simulator: What happens when the Watch App tries to contact the iPhone app using openParentApplication:reply: when the iPhone app is not already running? This works perfectly in the simulator but on real devices the Watch Apps seems to get no reply from the iPhone app and simply waits forever.
I already found hints to solve this but without being able to debug the Watch App and to see how the code is executed I cannot be sure what is going on...

A: I am having the same kind of issue but to improve a little bit the debugging experience I usually restart my devices a few times. Try to restart your Apple Watch or your iPhone.
Before launching your app from Xcode, make sure that the app is completely closed on your Apple Watch (not stuck in the loading screen for example). To do that, you have to force close the app: enter your app, keep the side button pressed until the menu to turn off the watch appears, then press the same side button for a few more seconds until the watch will go back to the homescreen and force close your app.
Now you can try to build and run the app from Xcode and it should work more reliably.
watchOS 3+:
The force quit is done by pressing and holding the side button (the button just below the Digital Crown) until the shutdown screen appears, and then
let go of the side button, then press and hold the Digital Crown.

A: Here's a technique that seems to be be the most reliable for me, even though it still only works about 25% of the time (Xcode 7 beta 4, 7A165t):

*

*Run the phone target in debug (on your actual iPhone of course)

*While the iPhone app is still running, switch to the watch target and run that in debug.

*Keep an eye on your watch homescreen as the app installs. Once the app has installed, tap it to open it. This will sometimes "kickstart" the watch app and allow the debugger to catch it. At this point you should be able to debug both your iPhone app and watchOS app together.

A: This question has different answers. All are good.
The reason is: in my experience there are at least two different problems that prevent debugging on a real watch. Both require a different strategy.
This answer tries to help you to decide when to use which strategy.

*

*XCode installs, tells you it is running for a short time and then stops showing "running...".

*

*start with the answer of BalestraPatrick:

*restart your devices.

*Do not forget to restart your iPhone. This did the trick the first time I had this problem.

*XCode installs, tells you it is running for a longer period of time: "running <projectName> on Apple Watch of <yourname>.

*

*start with the answer of Jay Hickey or Andrei Herford

*starting the watch app manually probably does the trick.

I also had times when XCode was able to start my watch app without any help from me.
Bonus:
Starting with XCode 7.1 it seems XCode doesn't always compile all necessary Swift files (more often than before). This is not watch specific, it also applies to iOS apps. The symptoms can look similar to those of this question. -> clean your project and then restart XCode.

A: thank you for your answers. I finally managed to get the debugging running (most of the time) on my real Apple Watch. However it is quite cumbersome and not very reliable. There is not enough space in the comments so I will use this answer to describe my solution. Maybe it is help full to other:

*

*Make sure, the App on your Watch is not running (as BalestraPatrick described). Launch the app and hold the side button a few seconds to bring up the "Turn off your Watch" dialog. Hold the side button for another few seconds to close the app and to return to the Watch homescreen.

*Make sure the iPhone is not locked.

*Select the WatchKit App target and your real iPhone and run the project.

*Running the Watch App resulted quite often in an error SPErrorInvalidBundleNoGizmoBinaryMessage. Re-starting Xcode and cleaning both the Watch App and the App target solved this.

*If the build of the Watch App succeed there will be a short message in Xcode but nothing on your iPhone or Watch. If you have made changes to the Watch App it will take a few seconds to refresh the app on the Watch. This is indicated by the progress-circle overlay over the app icon. If you made no changes ore once the app has been transfered: Launch the watch app manually by tapping the icon. There will be no automatic launch.

*In most cases Xcode will recognize the app launch and attach its debugger to it. This will allow to use breakpoints, inspect the code, etc.

In my case I whanted to inspect how the iPhone App handles the application:handleWatchKitExtensionRequest:reply: call when the app was not active before. This is important because this cannot be done using the simulator. If the app takes to long to handle the request the Watch will receive no valid response.
After following the steps described above Xcode is only attached the watch app and will not hold on breakpoints in the iPhone app code. To do this, one has to manually attach the Debugger to the iPhone app process that is started when the watch app sends its call.
To be able to attach the debugger I added a delay to the apps main function: [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:5]:

*

*Select function in Watch App that will start the call to the iPhone App

*The iPhone App will be launched in background. The delays gives you 5 seconds to attach the debugger.

*Choose Debug\Attach To Process\Likely Targes\Your iPhone Appin Xcode to attach the debugger.

*After the 5 seconds delay the process will continue and you will be able to use breakpoints in your iPhone app code as well.

The failures of internment, segregation by faith schools and why the young don't vote
Peter Wilby's First Thoughts.
By Peter Wilby
Across western Europe in the 1970s and 1980s, the IRA, Spain's Basque separatists, Italy's Red Brigades, West Germany's Baader-Meinhof gang and several others mounted many more terrorist attacks, leading to many more casualties, than Islamists have achieved since 2001.
However, recent outrages in London and Manchester, as well as those in Paris, Nice, Berlin and elsewhere, feel more personally threatening than attacks of previous times. The terrorism of the past was mostly directed against state, military, police or business and financial targets. The 9/11 attacks, horrific though they were, conformed to that pattern. Recent terrorist attacks are directed against leisure targets: pop concerts, holiday resorts, Christmas markets or just places where people eat and drink on a Saturday night. They are intended, like much aerial bombing in the Second World War, to undermine civilian morale.
Yet even the Nazis, who killed 43,000 in the 1940-41 London Blitz alone, had no principled objection to people having a good time. Islamists want above all to stop ordinary folk, including children, having fun. That is what makes the attacks seem peculiarly threatening to all of us.
Extreme views
Leave aside the civil liberties and human rights arguments. You do not need to be a "politically correct" liberal to believe that internment, shutting mosques, banning burkas, outlawing advocacy of sharia law and other ideas now washing around would be counterproductive.
Why the government's plan to use the Navy against Channel migrants sounds familiar
Boris Johnson's desperate policy blitz won't help the Tories
Internment, introduced in Northern Ireland in 1971, acted as a recruiting sergeant for the IRA. It made many members of working-class Irish Catholic communities, in mainland cities as well as Belfast and Londonderry, reluctant to help the authorities even if they didn't support violence. The British state was already struggling to get their co-operation. Many, perhaps most, Irish Catholic families had at least one member (living or dead) who once clashed with British troops or, in the 1920s, the Black and Tans, special constables recruited largely from recently demobbed soldiers.
Though conflict between Christians and Muslims goes back centuries, history did not leave such personal scars among most Muslims who migrated here. Muslims are willing, and sometimes eager, to inform on their co-religionists in a way that many Irish Catholics weren't. That is one reason why numerous terrorist plots were foiled and others perhaps ought to have been. Similar objections apply to most other proposals. Promising "tough" action is like a gateway drug. It will fail to achieve the desired results, and the next step is to find something stronger.
Algorithm of the night
One should be sceptical of newspapers' reports on the iniquities of social media giants because Facebook and Google have stolen most of their advertising. And I accept that I understand little about the internet's workings, which is why I am not as rich as Mark Zuckerberg. But it seems that these companies can develop algorithms that identify precisely which consumers will buy particular goods and services. Why, then, can't they develop algorithms that reliably block videos showing how to make bombs or how to execute a kaffir? The right to free speech does not include the right to glorify murder or explain how to go about it. Perhaps a video of the local comprehensive's production of Macbeth would be accidentally removed. I could live with that.
Separate lives
Theresa May wants us to stop living "in a series of separated, segregated communities". Yet as the late Darcus Howe never tired of pointing out in these pages, segregation developed because when black and brown people moved into an area, whites got the hell out. What does May want exactly? Are white families to be forcibly moved from Leamington Spa to the Springfield and Sparkbrook wards in Birmingham, and from Virginia Water in Surrey to Tower Hamlets? Or are potential jihadists to be housed in Chelsea? And if May is worried about segregation in schooling, why does she, at the behest of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, propose to remove the cap that prevents new state schools ("free schools") from selecting 50 per cent of their entrants by faith?
Tsunami time
Since I regarded the Paris climate deal as too little, too late, I shall not lose sleep over Donald Trump's decision to pull out. If governments intend to achieve the agreement's stated aim – to keep global temperatures below 2C above pre-industrial levels – why do so many, including our own, still support drilling for oil and fracking for gas? Serious attempts to stop global warming will happen only when a monstrous and unprecedented weather event – a tsunami that wipes out London, say, or a tornado that hits Davos during the World Economic Forum – directly affects the global rich. All polluting fuels will then be banned and every competent scientist ordered to find some technological fix to ameliorate the damage already done to the climate.
So did Jeremy get the youth vote out? If he did, it was a miracle. The problem is not just that young people are apathetic about elections but also that party activists find them, compared with the older generation, less rewarding to canvass. When, many years ago, I canvassed regularly for Labour, under-25s were rarely at their registered addresses (many had moved months if not years before) and, if at home, had plans for a party, a film or "a drink with my mates". The over-65s, always at home, were thrilled if you offered a lift to the polling station, a car ride then being a rare treat, worth dressing up for specially. I wasn't always sure they intended to vote Labour but party affiliations were not then shown on ballot papers and I kept repeating our candidate's name until they entered the polling station.

The city of Eugene is preparing to sell a quarter block of downtown to the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts, giving the Shedd room to grow substantially and add a theater.
City officials on Friday wouldn�t divulge the sale price or other elements of the transaction for what is now a city parking lot at East Eighth Avenue and High Street, between City Hall and the Shedd.
City officials said the details will be made public when the City Council reviews the deal for the first time in April or May.
�We don�t have a signed agreement,� said Renee Grube, the city�s library, recreation and cultural services director.
Shedd Institute Executive Director Jim Ralph wouldn�t divulge the sale price either, except to say that the nonprofit Shedd has agreed to pay �market value� for the property. Lane County�s assessment office puts the market value of the 0.6 acre parcel at just under $1 million.
The Shedd has agreed to provide the city with a 6-foot-wide easement on the land. Grube said the city wants the easement so it has the option of building a wider sidewalk and other pedestrian-friendly elements along East Eighth Avenue.
The Shedd is in the former First Baptist Church at Broadway and High Street.
Once the Shedd acquires the city property, it would embark on a fundraising campaign to construct a three-story building immediately north of the Shedd�s existing building, Ralph said.
It might take two or more years to start construction, he said. �It depends on how quickly we can pull the financing together,� he said.
Most of the new building would be used for the Shedd�s music school, he said.
The rest of the new structure would used for a 350- to 400-seat theater for Shedd musical productions. Some of the first floor could be used for a Shedd-operated music store, Ralph said.
The city land that would be sold to the Shedd is part of a half-block parking lot along East Eighth Avenue, just south of the closed City Hall.
Grube said the city is willing to sell the Shedd half of the existing parking lot because the Shedd is an important contributor to Eugene�s arts and culture economy.
The sale to the Shedd would leave the city owning a quarter-block parking lot.
Ralph has wanted to expand the Shedd for years.
Eight years ago, the city and the Shedd had agreed to a proposed a land swap so the Shedd could acquire the same quarter-block that it now intends to buy outright from the city.
Under that plan, the Shedd would have traded a parking lot it owns on the southeast corner of East Eighth Avenue and High Street for the city�s quarter block behind the Shedd.
That proposed trade was part of the series of transactions related to the controversial proposed development of a Whole Foods store and city parking garage on the block east of the Shedd.
But the entire project fell apart after Whole Foods backed out.
Mayor Kitty Piercy this week said that while the council has yet to review the details of the new transaction, she generally supports the idea of selling the city land to the Shedd.

Rybník Chmelař (též zvaný jezero Chmelař) se nachází na Českém Předměstí nedaleko od centra města Úštěk v okrese Litoměřice v Ústeckém kraji,. Vedle Máchova jezera jde o zřejmě nejznámější vodní plochu kraje.

V minulosti byl několikrát zrušen a obnoven. Založen byl zřejmě za dob vlády Karla IV., který zakládal rybníky v sousedním Českolipsku.

Jediný zachovalý původně středověký rybník poblíž je úštěcký rybník Barvíř.

Předchůdce Chmelaře, Velký rybník, byl v minulosti vysušen a na jeho místě vyrostla vesnice Zelená Ves, která se nyní nachází pod hladinou rybníka. Vodní plocha byla obnovena na počátku šedesátých let 20. století a pojmenována Chmelař. Název pravděpodobně odkazuje na tradici pěstování chmele v této oblasti.

Sypaná hráz dlouhá 400 metrů se nachází na jižní straně rybníku podél železniční trati Lovosice – Česká Lípa. Rybník je napájen Červeným potokem a částí průtoku Loubního potoka, který je nadlepšován díky náhonu postavenému z Levínského potoka. V rámci výstavby náhonu bylo upraveno i koryto Červeného potoka před vtokem do Chmelaře. Přes rybník Barvíř je voda odváděna do Úštěckého potoka. Rybník je užíván především k rekreaci. Kromě několika kempů k němu přiléhá chatová oblast Habřinská stráň, k dispozici turistům jsou dvě pláže a tradiční kulturní program. Chmelař obhospodařuje Rybářství Doksy, výlovy se konají každoročně na přelomu října a listopadu.

I like to prepare myself in advance so that I take all my time to be as pretty as possible for the man I am going out with this evening. I wear the most beautiful dress. Here is what I look like just before he arrives at my home to pick me up. I hope you enjoy sharing this moment with me! What do you think, would you like to take me on a date?

Aleksander Mikołajków (ur. 12 grudnia 1901 lub 1903 w Brzeżanach, zm. 20 lub 24 sierpnia 1944 w Dębicy) – polski lekarz, prekursor lecznictwa społecznego i ruchu Czerwonego Krzyża w Dębicy, Sprawiedliwy wśród Narodów Świata.

Życiorys
Aleksander Mikołajków był absolwentem Akademii Medycznej we Lwowie. Od około 1930 r. Aleksander Mikołajków mieszkał z żoną Leokadią w domu przy ulicy Kościuszki 248 w Dębicy. Pracował jako lekarz w dębickiej firmie ubezpieczeniowej oraz był pierwszym kierownikiem miejskiego ośrodka zdrowia. Poza pracą angażował się społecznie w działalność Polskiego Czerwonego Krzyża. Jego małżonką była pielęgniarka Leokadia Mikołajków, z którą miał dwóch synów: Leszka i Andrzeja. Po powstaniu getta w Dębicy Mikołajków zatrudnił w charakterze gońca w kierowanej przez siebie kasie chorych trzynastoletniego Efraima Reicha. Z pomocą jego oraz swoich synów, Leszka i Andrzeja, udzielał pomocy rodzicom Reicha, którzy przebywali w getcie. Razem z małżonką przygotowywał dla nich paczki z prowiantem i lekarstwami. Podczas akcji likwidacyjnej dębickiego getta w lipcu 1942 r. Mikołajków udzielił w swojej piwnicy schronienia 13-osobowej rodzinie Reicha. Dom rodziny Mikołajkowów stał w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie siedziby Gestapo. Po zakończeniu akcji likwidacyjnej i przeorganizowaniu getta na obóz pracy Reichowie opuścili kryjówkę. W listopadzie 1942 r. Mikołajków powiadomił rodzinę Reichów o zbliżającej się kolejnej akcji likwidacyjnej getta i ukrył ich na 9 miesięcy. Latem 1943 r. Gestapo zarekwirowało na swoje potrzeby garaż Mikołajkowów, dlatego ze względów bezpieczeństwa Aleksander przeniósł kryjówkę Żydów do domu Józefa Kurzyny. Aleksander razem ze swoją rodziną kontynuował opiekę nad rodziną Reich do 20 sierpnia 1944 r., kiedy to Dębica została odbita od Niemców przez Armię Czerwoną.

Aleksander Mikołajków został śmiertelnie postrzelony w Kałużówce w Dębicy podczas udzielania pierwszej pomocy rannemu. Źródła podają dwie daty: 20 oraz 24 sierpnia 1944 r. Został pochowany na Starym Cmentarzu w Dębicy.

Ukrywani przez rodzinę Mikołajkowów wyemigrowali z Polski. Będąc w obozie przejściowym dla przesiedleńców w Austrii zaczęli przesyłać rodzinie Mikołajkowów paczki pomocowe, co kontynuowali po osiedleniu się w USA. Efram Reich został rabinem w Brooklynie.

Instytut Jad Waszem uznał Aleksandra Mikołajkowa pośmiertnie za Sprawiedliwego wśród Narodów Świata 29 stycznia 1980 r. Razem z nim odznaczona została jego żona, Leokadia Mikołajków. 25 lipca 1989 r. tym samym odznaczeniem uhonorowani zostali ich synowie, Leszek i Andrzej Mikołajków.

Nawiązania w kulturze
Historia rodziny Mikołajkowów została przedstawiona w filmie dokumentalnym "Druga Prawda" Jany Wright i Anety Naszyńskiej. W 2013 r. ukazała się książka Zbigniewa Szurka "Rodzina Mikołajkowów (próba biografii). Ofiarność. Odwaga. Poświęcenie" oparta na historii niesienia pomocy społeczności żydowskiej przez rodzinę Mikołajkowów.

Upamiętnienie
3 czerwca 2006 r. na miejscu dawnego domu rodziny Mikołajkowów w Dębicy został utworzony skwer poświęcony ich pamięci.
