Joint Statement of Nationalities Alliance of Burma (USA), Canadian Burma Ethnic Nationalities Organization (CBENO) and Coalition of Burma Ethnics, Malaysia (COBEM)
We, member organizations of the Nationalities Alliance of Burma (USA), Canadian Burma Ethnic Nationalities Organization (CBENO) and Coalition of Burma Ethnics, Malaysia (COBEM) welcome Gambia's lawsuit against the Burmese government for state-sponsored genocide against the Rohingya people of Burma. The crimes committed are clearly in violation of the commitments made under the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Like the Rohingya, other ethnic nationalities of Burma suffer from serious and persistent violations of basic human rights, and are subjected to violent persecution under military rule. It is common practice by the Burmese military to conduct arbitrary arrests and detention, brutal beatings and torture, sexual assaults and rape, land confiscations, and discriminate killings against vulnerable ethnic nationalities in ethnic regions. The continued presence of the military in and around villages in ethnic areas is enabling the perpetuation of such brutal treatment of ethnic nationalities.
Consequently, hundreds of thousands of Internally Displaced Persons of different ethnic nationalities are currently living in makeshift tents under perilous conditions along the nation's borders. Hundreds of thousands more have fled their homes to neighbouring countries living as refugees and stateless people without proper protection but subjected to constant fear of arrest and persecution.
We, therefore, express our strong support for the international community's actions to bring the Burmese military to justice, and make them accountable for its widespread and systematic violence.

Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal ADF Pay Case Update 14 July 2020
The current ADF pay arrangement is due to expire and a new three-year Workplace Remuneration Arrangement (WRA) (2020-2023) is scheduled to commence at the end of this year. The DFWA will once again be involved in the WRA process by way of providing an independent voice to the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal thus ensuring the interests of members of the ADF and their families are properly considered as the WRA is considered.
DFWA notes that the ADF has released a signal from the CDF (EC20-002623 DTG: 100426Z JUL 2020) and DEGRAM (281/2020 dated 13 July 2020) to alert ADF members of progress on the WRA. It advises a proposition that will be submitted to the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal for them to consider in August 2020 a 2% per annum salary increase for a three year period, with no loss of any Conditions of Service.
Consistent with the Government direction for a six month deferral of Commonwealth public servant pay rises, it is also proposed that the first 2% increase be delayed from November 2020 to May 2021, with the second and third increases in November 2021 and November 2022, respectively.
In accordance with the government say on SES remuneration increases, the WRA 2020-2023 proposition will not include star rank ADF members. Star rank remuneration will be considered separately in due course.
The DFWA intends to broadly support this proposition and will continue to monitor the situation and keep members updated as the matter progresses.
In particular, DWFA will continue to support the principle of no loss of any Conditions of Service (a principle we successfully championed in a previous WRA), and will submit that any changes to the proposal, including any situation caused by a resurgence of COVID-19, must be subject to full submissions by the parties. In such a case we would seek to intervene in any consideration of any such changes during the life of the Arrangement.
We welcome any comments or advice members may have on this matter, so that we are in a better position to put an objective, independent view to the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal when it considers the matter in August. We also encourage members to make their views known via their Chain of Command, as outlined in the CDF Signal and in the DEFGRAM.
Should you have any comments you wish to make, drop the DFWA a note to [email protected]
DFWA also takes this opportunity to advise that later in the year there will be a broad review of allowances (part of the Defence Modernization Project). This review will be completely separate to the WRA and the DFWA will be keeping tabs on that matter and providing further advice in due course.
Finally, a reminder to all our virtual members, the DFWA has a clear charter to 'foster the best interests and wellbeing of all members of the ADF and their families in any matter likely to affect them during or after their period of service'.
To allow us to continue our ability to uphold that charter, here is a plea. Those readers who are not full members of our Association, please find reason to join. After all, it is one tangible way to show real support for the hard work it's many dedicated volunteers undertakes to achieve better outcomes either in protecting the pay and conditions of the ADF men and women still serving, or vigorously fighting for pension fairness of those who once did serve.
After all, you as virtual members by way of your collective voices once played such a central role in convincing the Government to improve a pay deal that was by a wide margin completely inadequate. Joining as a full member of DFWA will give us the capacity to ensure that our collective voice always remains a loud force to be reckoned with. A DFWA Branch in the State in which you reside, or at a Branch of your preference, will be more than willing to help.

Speaking for myself, I don't need to make myself write. Writing is a habit for me. No force involved at all. Stopping myself and taking time away from writing is a challenge, however. I'm happiest when I'm writing, and this is true for most professional writers.
Professional writers spend their entire day writing, or doing something related to writing, like research, or marketing their writing services. As they do it, writing just becomes a habit.
If you're not yet a professional, then the easiest way to "force" yourself to write is to behave like a pro – that is, to write every day.
Set goals with deadlines. Initially, your deadlines will be self-imposed, but as you get writing jobs, your deadlines will be set by others.
When you know you have a certain number of projects you MUST work on every day to achieve your goals then there's no force; you write every chance you get.

Carl von Clausewitz died more than 170 years ago. Yet, despite the expiry verdicts constantly on his work, often under the effect of simplistic cartoons, his influence has never been so important. It is the whole contemporary strategic discourse that uses the concepts elaborated by the Prussian general, under the influence notably of the American thought which rediscovered it in the aftermath of the Vietnam war. That is why it is essential to return today to the original ideas of the treaty De la guerre to decipher the ongoing debates on the meaning and conduct of conflicts, and to propose a European strategy in keeping with the culture of the old continent.
This is what demonstrates this book, before proposing a concise and systematic summary of Clausewitz's major work, which, with its thematic index, will be a valuable work tool for all those wishing to enter further into the study. of the thought of the Prussian philosopher.

Q: Kendo UI for MVC Grid How do I hide the ID column I would like to hide the ID column of a Kendo grid but still be able to reference it for other actions. I tried making the Width = 0 but that only makes it really wide.
@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
        .Name("LineItems")
        .Columns(columns =>
            {
                columns.Bound(o => o.ID).Width(1);
                columns.Bound(o => o.Ui).Width(20);
                columns.Bound(o => o.QtyOrdered).Width(20);
                columns.Bound(o => o.Nomenclature).Width(200);
                columns.Bound(o => o.QtyShipped).Width(140);
                columns.Bound(o => o.QtyReceived).Width(200);
                columns.Bound(o => o.Hazmat).Width(50);

            })

Edit on June 26
OK I was able to get a reasonable solution based on a post from the Kendo forum. As long as the ID is defined in the datasource, the column does not have to be defined in the grid. You still have access to the ID value. I wrote a quick snippet to prove it and it returns the ID without the ID column in the grid.
<script>
  $(document).ready(function () {
      $("#btn").on("click", function () {

          var grid = $("#LineItems").data("kendoGrid");
          var data = grid.dataSource.data();
          $.each(data, function (i, item) {
              alert(item.ID);
           });
      });
  });
</script>

A: Hidden columns are supported since the Q2 2012 release. You can now use the Hidden() setting.

A: You can make the column hidden via the Hidden() method. Is this okey for you?

A: It looks like in the current version its not supported, they do have a page where you can vote to get this feature added to Kendo. They may have started working on it since the status does say 'started' about 13 hours ago.
http://kendo.uservoice.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/2804580-ability-to-show-hide-columns-in-grid
In the meantime it looks like some users might have some suggestions in this post by setting the style of that column to display:none

A bipartisan Senate group announces a deal on reforming the Electoral Count Act
Published July 20, 2022 at 12:23 PM CDT
Proposed changes to the Electoral Count Act would clarify the vice president's role in counting states' electoral votes. Here, then-Vice President Mike Pence is seen in the House chamber early on Jan. 7, 2021, to finish the work of the Electoral College after a mob loyal to President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol.
Updated July 20, 2022 at 1:50 PM ET
After months of negotiations, a bipartisan group of senators on Wednesday announced two proposals related to election administration, including one to reform the Electoral Count Act, a widely criticized 1887 law that governs the process of casting and counting Electoral College votes and that came under fresh scrutiny following attempts to invalidate the presidential election results on Jan. 6, 2021.
The plans were announced a day ahead of the House select committee's final scheduled prime time hearing on its investigation into the Capitol insurrection.
"From the beginning, our bipartisan group has shared a vision of drafting legislation to fix the flaws of the archaic and ambiguous Electoral Count Act of 1887," the U.S. senators said in a joint statement.
Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, led the effort to reform the law, which would need 60 votes to break a filibuster and pass the Senate. The proposal unveiled Wednesday to reform the Electoral Count Act has 16 co-sponsors, including nine Republicans. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has signaled he's open to updating the old law.
The law itself was created after a chaotic election in 1876 that saw Democrat Samuel Tilden win the popular vote but lose the presidency because of contested election results, as three Southern states sent in competing returns. A decade later, Congress enacted the Electoral Count Act to avoid a repeated fiasco by establishing a clearer process for Electoral College certification.
But as NPR's Miles Parks has reported, some legal experts argue the crafters of the law did a "terrible job."
Members of both major parties opened the door to updating the ECA nearly a year after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which came following then-President Donald Trump's pressure campaign against his own vice president to abandon his ceremonial role in tallying the results and help overturn the election.
Advocates for reforming the ECA argue that the law isn't clear enough about the roles the vice president and Congress play in certifying election results, and that that weakness was exploited by Trump and his allies to try to keep him in power.
How would the law change?
As the law exists now, only one member of the House and one member of the Senate are needed to challenge any state's set of electors. (These are the lawmakers who objected to the Electoral College count in 2021.)
The updated language would raise that threshold, shifting the requirement to 20% of the members of each chamber.
The proposal would also enact a few measures "aimed at ensuring that Congress can identify a single, conclusive slate of electors from each state," according to a fact sheet. The provisions include:
identifying "each state's Governor, unless otherwise specified in the laws or constitution of a state in effect on Election Day, as responsible for submitting the certificate of ascertainment identifying that state's electors;"
and requiring "Congress to defer to slates of electors submitted by a state's executive pursuant to the judgments of state or federal courts."
And the measure would "strike a provision of an archaic 1845 law that could be used by state legislatures to override the popular vote in their states by declaring a 'failed election' — a term that is not defined in the law."
The bill would also reaffirm that the "constitutional role of the Vice President, as the presiding officer of the joint meeting of Congress, is solely ministerial."
Some of the reforms came in part from proposals issued after the Democratic-led House Administration Committee shared a report in January, completed after months of review from legal experts.
The measure to reform the Electoral Count Act also includes a section to provide guidelines for when a new administration can receive federal resources for their transition into office.
In the shadow of Jan. 6 hearings
The Electoral Count Act has come up many times during the House select committee's hearings investigating the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6.
During one of the panel's hearings, Greg Jacob, who served as chief counsel to Vice President Mike Pence, said that had Pence obeyed Trump's demands to block or delay the counting of electoral votes on Jan. 6, he would have broken various provisions of the Electoral Count Act.
ECA reform paired with election security proposal
The second measure released Wednesday would increase criminal penalties for individuals who threaten or intimidate election officials, poll watchers, voters or candidates; or who steal or alter election records or tamper with voting systems.
It would also aim to improve the handling of election mail by the U.S. Postal Service and reauthorize the Election Assistance Commission, an independent agency, for five years.
The proposal comes as election officials across the country have faced pressure and threats in the wake of Trump's lies about the 2020 election being stolen.


Buck's Naked BBQ came to fill the space left open by Havana South on Wharf St. in Portland's Old Port. While I didn't enjoy eating at Havana, I did enjoy their bar space. So I was happy to see a place like Buck's take over, figuring that the well established, mass appeal of their BBQ has what it takes to fill the cavernous space.
Recently, I met some friends for dinner at Buck's, and a Bloody Mary (dubbed a Bloody Buck here), even though these are usually brunch drinks to me. I was urged to order one because the drink comes topped with a rib. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by this novelty, and the appeal of the thick tomato drink was lost on me after dark. Buck's does offer a wide draught beer selection, and I moved on to Portland Lager.
A fried pickles appetizer ($7.99) always draws me in, and Buck's version has thick chips coated in a cornmeal batter. The thickness of the pickles and the breading prevents the snack from being greasy, and I think this version is at the top of the list of those around town.
I hear the wings at Buck's are "better than Binga's" (I'm skeptical), and can be ordered so hot you're required to sign a waiver before digging in.
The rib sampler (4 for $8.99) and the pulled pork sandwich ($7.99 with one side) offered mix of the BBQ styles available at Buck's - both are smoked with a dry rub and served "naked," or without sauce. The saucing options are a South Carolina style, mustard sauce, a North Carolina tomato-vinegar sauce, a sweet, thick Kansas City sauce, and a blueberry sauce.
The ribs were good, tender and meaty with plenty of spice and heat in the rub. The pulled pork sandwich fell short of excellent. I think the naked style fails here with the meat being too dry, then having to coat the sandwich with sauce to the point of saturation. The meat portion was small, and I'd prefer to have fries and slaw with my sandwich rather than one or the other.
Being no expert in barbecue, I can't begin to wade into whether this is authentic or how it rates compared to other regions. I can only tell you what I like, and I won't order the pulled pork here again (one of my favorite pit sandwiches), but enjoyed the ribs.
But the menu at Buck's veers far from barbecue (falafel sandwiches, fried shrimp platters, steak and cheese sandwiches), so there is something for everyone. The fried catfish sandwich I tried during another visit was excellent. The roadhouse vibe isn't as pervasive as it is in other Buck's locations, and with plenty of seating in the bar, I'm sure I'll find myself visiting again to try their wings and order some drinks (sans the rib topper though).
Sauerkraut to break up all the holiday cookie recipes - you didn't see that coming, did ya? I made a batch of pistachio brittle and this sauerkraut in one evening. I felt very accomplished.
I used my mandolin slicer to thinly slice a medium-sized head of green cabbage into a large bowl. I then sprinkled it with canning and pickling salt (Kosher salt works too, just avoid anything that is iodized), and massaged it until it looked bruised and was juicy. I sprinkled in whole peppercorns and celery seed. I would have also like to add caraway or dill seed.
I then packed it tightly into two clean wide-mouth quart jars, and covered it with a whole cabbage leaf. Maybe this is more aesthetic than practical, since I definitely like the look. But the whole leaf helps to keep all the shreds under the liquid too.
Everything is weighted down with a jelly jar that is filled with water and pressed into the quart jar. I covered the jars with some muslin cloth and put them in the corner where the heat pipe (usually inconveniently) runs through my pantry cabinet. I'll wait a few days to taste it and then move it to the fridge, where it will last for a few months.
We had our 4th Annual (!!!) Obscure Holiday Cocktail Tasting last Friday. The cocktails we served are obscure in that they're original and unique, rather than obscure as in lost to history. We're embracing this evolution and even floated the idea that next year all cocktails should be original.
After reviewing past cocktail party write-ups, I realized that I needed to pull my weight this year. So I worked hard to make a delicious cocktail that used as many local ingredients as possible.
My cocktail, the Stone Rose, was a spiced, fizzy apple cider-esque cocktail. It paired well with the creamy Lady Laurier cheese, a Triple Creme Brie.
Do ahead: Dice 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger. Wrap 1/2 a cinnamon stick, 2 cardamom pods in a kitchen towel, and smash them with a heavy pan. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup water. Add ginger and spices. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until syrup is dark and spices are fragrant. Remove from heat; let stand for 4 hours. Strain.
Combine all ingredients, except sparkling wine, in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into glasses. Add sparkling wine.
Next, Dawn of Appetite Portland made the Admiral Yamamoto, a smoky, sweet/bitter cocktail that she had on a recent trip to San Francisco.
The cheese pairing was a Robiola de capra, a goat's milk cheese aged in chestnut leaves. The presentation is beautiful, and the cheese emphasized the sweet notes of the drink.
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker full of ice. Shake. "Wash" a martini glass with a splash of Laphroig single-malt scotch. Pour cocktail into martini glass. Then, put flame to an orange peel to slight smoke. Add to drink.
Anestes of Portland Food Map told the epic tale of building his cocktail around Speckled Ax's ice brewed coffee extract. After trying many liquors and consulting Hugo's bartenders, he settled on a blend of Single Barrel Jack Daniels, Eden Ice Cider, coffee extract, and walnut bitters. The result was warm, sweet, and nutty.
Shake, strain, and serve with an orange twist.
This drink was paired with Tarentaise from Spring Brook Farm in Vermont. This raw milk's cow cheese was so spicy that many of us silently debated whether we were having an allergic reaction before someone spoke up.
Adam did what I had tried to do for two years past - make a decent egg nog. He, of course, turned it up to 11 by infusing his own pine nut and spruce vodkas.
Hm, seems we're short on the exact details, but you get the idea.
The cheese pairing of Winnimere, a washed-rind, aged cow's milk cheese wrapped in birch bark was great, with some fudge to cut the richness of the dairy.
I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention that Vrylena and Dave brought an awesome pomegranate seed, walnut, scallion, and parsley salad.
Many thanks to Shannon of Edible Obsessions for bringing the delicious cheese, crackers, and fudge delights.
This cocktail party gets better and better every year, and I'm so glad to have shared another year with the fantastic friends that I've met through this blog!
Here's the poutine served at Ruski's. If you've been to Ruski's before, you should know what to expect - brown gravy from a packet, melted mild cheese, crispy from-the-freezer fries. All good! There is a time and place for everything.
But this is stick-to-your-ribs, drink-6-Miller-High-Lifes (only $2!) poutine. Or rather, just 'gravy cheese fries.' It might not even be classy enough to be French-Canadian. Delicious though.
Regardless, some of these ladies are Bears fans, so oddly enough, our cookie swap happened at the Asylum Sports Bar. Made funnier since Vrylena is pregnant, so obviously doesn't drink. But I was headed to Binga's afterwards for the Ravens game (no comment), so I was more than happy to share the company of some football fans all afternoon.
Russian Tea Cakes are also apparently known as Mexican/Italian Wedding Cookies and are small, shortbread-type rounds with pecans inside, and dusted in powdered sugar.
I also made Haystack Cookies, which my Grandma used to make (she's still alive, she just stopped making these cookies) and bring when she visited at the holidays. They're sweet, salty, and crunchy, like chocolate covered pretzles. Many options for variations abound.
Do you swap cookies with friends? I admit I first thought it sounded needlessly fussy, but it was easy and very fun.
Sharon brought a minty, crunchy, chewy White Christmas Dream Drops, Shannon made to-die-for No-Bake Cornflake-Chocolate Pralines and Brown Butter and Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Vrylena made addictive Elsie's Brown Sugar Cookies. They're all delicious!
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter. Add the vanilla extract, then gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
Sift the flour, measure, and then sift again with the salt. Add gradually to the butter-sugar mixture and stir until incorporated. Add the nuts and stir until mixed.
Scoop dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 heaping teaspoon) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges are golden. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and dust with powdered sugar.
Mix chow mein noodles and peanuts together in a large bowl. In a small sauce pot, combine peanut butter and butterscotch chips, and heat over medium-low heat while stirring, until melted.
Pour butterscotch-peanut butter mixture over chow mein noodles and peanuts. Stir to combine. Use two spoons to scoop small piles of mix onto parchment or wax paper lined baking sheets. Let cool and then move to the refrigerator to chill completely.

Conclusive Evidence: This is How the Toilet Paper Roll Should Hang
8 Secrets of an Expert Thrift Store Shopper
21 Purchases You Should Never Skimp On
The 1891 patent for TP seems to settle the age-old debate of over vs under once and for all. I couldn't be more pleased.

Over or under? The proper orientation of a toilet paper roll has been hotly debated for decades. But it seems we can wrap up the argument once and for all.
According to the original patent for perforated toilet paper recently shared by writer Owen Williams on Twitter, if you're hanging your TP under, you're doing it wrong.
The patent, dated Dec. 22, 1891, shows renderings of the paper in the over position, clearly indicating that inventor Seth Wheeler designed it to be used that way (if you can't tell, I'm on over girl, myself).
"Wheeler's Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company was the first in the world to make perforated toilet paper, originally patenting that idea in 1871 before the 1891 patent added the roll aspect," Consumerist said.
Long before Williams posted the patent, many "experts" had weighed in. According to Good Housekeeping:
"Definitely over," says Sarah Richardson, Good Housekeeping's home design director and host of HGTV's Sarah Sees Potential. "Hotels can't be wrong — they replace toilet paper more than anyone. Plus, if you place it under, you can't do the fancy fold at the end of the paper."
I've witnessed many an argument about how to hang toilet paper. My sister and I fought about it for years (she prefers under). I sincerely doubt that this will put the big (First World) debate to rest, but I'll always refer to Wheeler's patent in further TP squabbles.

High Times Announces That Stormy Simon Has Been Named As New CEO
Hightimes Holding Corp., the parent company of this publication, announced Monday that Stormy Simon has been named its new CEO.
Simon joins the company after previously serving as president of the online retailer Overstock.com, and will succeed Kraig Fox, who has stepped down as CEO and president.
"I'm honored to take on this role at such a pivotal time for this iconic brand," Simon said in a statement.
"Like millions of other people, I have trusted High Times for years and I can't wait to use my experience to help develop the next iteration of our business: delivering the best products into consumers' hands," she added.
Along with its ownership of the eponymous pot publication, Hightimes Holding Corp. has also shifted into hosting events such as the Cannabis Cup, while also providing licensing deals and producing merchandise. In her statement, Simon hinted at plans to capitalize even more on the High Times brand.
"The cost of customer acquisition has plagued the cannabis industry thus far, but utilizing the High Times brand's global audience, we should be able to monetize our traffic by connecting consumers to cannabis products at an unprecedented scale," she said.
Hightimes executive chairman Adam Levin, who will remain in his current role, hailed Simon's time at Overstock, where she held numerous roles in a tenure that spanned 15 years. In addition to serving as president, Simon also headed up the retailer's books, music, and video category, while also overseeing all offline marketing including television, radio, and print. She stepped down as president of Overstock in 2016 to wade into the cannabis industry.
"Stormy Simon, who rose through the ranks at Overstock.com during her 15-year tenure with the company, has extensive international business relations and marketing experience, and is highly skilled at breaking down and rebuilding departments," Levin said.
"Stormy revolutionized Overstock.com's marketing department, and then its customer service department, during an uncharted time in e-commerce history, eventually leading Overstock.com to increase its revenues from $20 million to over $2 billion. For the past two years, Stormy has served on the Hightimes Board of Directors; in addition to her new role as Chief Executive Officer, she will continue to serve as a member of the Company's Board of Directors."

Despite having the screen printing workshop at Printhaus just down the corridor from my studio, I haven't really got to grips with screen printing over my time there. When an informal workshop was scheduled for in Haus members, I was keen to get involved. In the style of the nostalgic 'Class of 1990-something' teatowels we all contributed a self portrait to in primary school, we all had a go at a Printhaus version.
It was great to have everyone's different drawing styles alongside each-other. I really enjoyed this method of creating artwork for a screen – it is so direct. I also found out that if you work with Posca pens on the wrong side of the filmwork, you can work back into your drawing by scratching away at the ink. The result was really effective, adding finer detail than would have been possible simply with the fibre nib itself.

Cardinals Announce Additional Call-ups
@CardsConclave
by Conclave Staff on September 8, 2014
ROOKIES GARCIA, PHAM & TUIVAILALA PROMOTED FROM MEMPHIS (AAA)
ST. LOUIS, Mo., September 8, 2014 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they that they have added three additional players to their active roster with rookie infielder Greg Garcia, outfielder Tommy Pham and right-handed pitcher Sam Tuivailala (pronounced TOO-ee-vah-lah-la) being promoted from the Memphis (AAA) roster. To make room for the additional players on their 40-man Major League roster, the Cardinals designated catcher Audry Perez and outfielder Rafael Ortega for assignment. The Cardinals active roster currently stands at 36 players.
Garcia, 25, will be making his third appearance of the season with the Cardinals, while both Pham, 26, and Tuivailala, 21, will be making their Major League debuts with their first game appearances.
The right-handed hitting Garcia, who has appeared in nine games with the Cardinals this season, finished the 2014 minor league campaign with a .275 batting average, eight home runs and 41 RBI in 110 games between Memphis (AAA) and Springfield (AA). Garcia was drafted by the Cardinals in the 7th round (229th player overall) of the 2010 draft out of the University of Hawaii where he was teammates with Kolten Wong.
Pham, a 16th round (496th player overall) draft selection by the Cardinals in 2006 out of Durango High School in Las Vegas, NV, converted from shortstop to outfield in 2007 and has drawn accolades from Baseball America as one of the top defensive outfielders and top-rated outfield arms in the Cardinals organization. The right-handed hitting Pham, whose development has been slowed by multiple injuries, batted .324 (3rd in Pacific Coast League) with 10 home runs and 44 RBI in 104 games at Memphis, leading the team in batting, stolen bases (20) and triples (6).
The 6-3, 195-pound Tuivailala was selected by the Cardinals as a shortstop in the 3rd round (106th player overall) of the 2010 draft out of Aragon High School in San Mateo, CA. He converted to a pitcher in 2012 with Johnson City (Rookie).
Tuivailala has pitched at three levels (A, AA, AAA) this season, going a combined 2-2 with a 3.15 ERA and eight saves in 48 games with Palm Beach (A), Springfield (AA) and Memphis (AAA). His 97 strikeouts in 60.0 IP this season were the most of any minor league pitcher with 60 or fewer innings pitched.
The hard-throwing Tuivailala has allowed just two home runs in his 108.1 career innings pitched and struck out 170 (14.1 strikeouts/9 IP). He recorded strikeouts in 43 of his 48 appearances this season. Tuivailala has been selected to play for the Peoria Javelinas in the prospect-laden Arizona Fall League.
Garcia wears uniform #35, while Pham has been assigned uniform #60 and Tuivailala #64.

SARAJEVO: Bosnians cautious but hopeful after their leaders agree to modernize the constitution
Bosnians were cautious but hopeful Tuesday after hearing their leaders agreed in Washington to change the constitution in order to make the country more functional and prepare it for eventual membership with the European Union.
Exactly a decade after the United States brokered the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended Bosnia's 1992-95 war, Bosnia's Muslim, Serb and Croat leaders signed a statement in Washington committing themselves to remake Bosnia's constitution. The agreement, leaving details until later, followed three days of U.S.- mediated negotiations.
The statement was obtained by the Associated Press in Washington. A formal announcement by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was expected later Tuesday. Bosnian Muslim representative at the talks in Washington, Sulejman Tihic, told Sarajevo Television that all the leaders there "have confirmed their determination to begin the changes of the constitution. This is the first step of the many steps that are to follow."
Not knowing what exactly their leaders are ready to change, citizens as well as analysts here welcomed the commitment for changes but there was no euphoria. The peace agreement divided the country on an ethnic basis and created a complicated political setup with several expensive and overlapping layers of government. The agreement proved to be good enough to end the fighting but not to turn Bosnia into a functional state.
Now Bosnia's leaders say they are ready to modernize the decade-old accord by replacing a three-presidents arrangement with a single president and hopefully point the way to a strong prime minister and a strong parliament. The details of the changes will be worked out by March 2006.
Toni Prlenda, a political analyst from Sarajevo, believes the leaders' commitment is a "step forward in strengthening this country but it remains to be seen when and how this will be implemented and whether it will in the end be enough to satisfy the EU criteria."
The European Union will start negotiations about a Stabilization and Association Agreement with Bosnia, which is seen as the first step on the country's path toward EU membership, the AP reports. But the EU already said Bosnia's constitution does not fit EU criteria and needs to be changed.

The statute is unclear as to the requirements that a ski area must enforce, so the patrons are at risk of an injury. Who is liable and what can a ski area do?
Posted: May 2, 2018 | Author: Recreation Law | Filed under: Skiing / Snow Boarding | Tags: Brake, Colorado Skier Safety Act, Connecticut Skier Safety Act, Leash, Montana's skier responsibility statute, Nevada Skier Safety Act, New Hampshire Skier Safety Act, New Jersey Skier Safety Act, Pennsylvania Skier's Responsibility Act, Retention Device, Ski Brake, Ski Leash, Skier Responsibility Code, Skier's Responsibility Act | Leave a comment
C.R.S. §§ 33-44-109. Duties of skiers – penalties. States in section 6:
(6) Each ski or snowboard used by a skier while skiing shall be equipped with a strap or other device capable of stopping the ski or snowboard should the ski or snowboard become unattached from the skier. This requirement shall not apply to cross country skis.
The Colorado Skier Safety Act above section C.R.S. §§ 33-44-109. Duties of skiers – penalties stated above requires skiers and snowboarders to have a retention device before skiing at a ski area.
Four of the 11 duties in section C.R.S. §§ 33-44-109 have criminal penalties if you violate those statutes.
(12) Any person who violates any of the provisions of subsection (3), (9), (10), or (11) of this section is guilty of a class 2 petty offense and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars.
C.R.S. §§ 33-44-109. Duties of skiers – penalties.
(3) No skier shall ski on a ski slope or trail that has been posted as "Closed" pursuant to section 33-44-107 (2) (e) and (4).
(9) No person shall move uphill on any passenger tramway or use any ski slope or trail while such person's ability to do so is impaired by the consumption of alcohol or by the use of any controlled substance, as defined in section 12-22-303 (7), C.R.S., or other drug or while such person is under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance, as defined in section 12-22-303 (7), C.R.S., or other drug.
(10) No skier involved in a collision with another skier or person in which an injury results shall leave the vicinity of the collision before giving his or her name and current address to an employee of the ski area operator or a member of the ski patrol, except for the purpose of securing aid for a person injured in the collision; in which event the person so leaving the scene of the collision shall give his or her name and current address as required by this subsection (10) after securing such aid.
(11) No person shall knowingly enter upon public or private lands from an adjoining ski area when such land has been closed by its owner and so posted by the owner or by the ski area operator pursuant to section 33-44-107 (6).
The criminal charges are petty offenses. However, riding a lift or skiing/boarding without a retention device does not have a criminal penalty.
The section (6), has no penalty if you fail to have a leash or brake on your board or skis.
On a side note, tickets written for violation of the law are written by law enforcement. Ski Patrollers or other ski area employees cannot write you a ticket for violating the law. They can, however, take your lift ticket or season pass.
The issue of riding without a brake or retention device is even further complicated by the manufacturers of ski and snowboard equipment. Skies come with brakes as part of the binding. Tele or backcountry equipment come with leashes. Snowboards or snowboard bindings do not come with leashes.
If you purchase a product should the product come with the required statutory safety requirements?
Snowboards fly down the mountain all the time because they get away from the snowboarders. They sit down, take off the board to work on it or rest and lean the board on one edge with the bindings down. Any hit to the board and the board is on the snow going downhill.
I once dealt with a twelve-year-old girl who walking in her ski boots and had a runaway snowboard hit her in the ski boot breaking her ankle.
The question then becomes, "If a snowboard or ski gets away from a boarder or skier and the runaway board or ski strikes someone and injures them who is liable?"
The snowboarder or skier is liable. No question there, those people with the lift ticket were required to follow the law and have a leash or retention device.
The statute requires them to have a leash or brake, and they did not. They are liable. If the boarder loses a snowboard because they did not have a leash on the snowboard, and it goes down the hill striking someone and injuring them, they are negligent per se. Negligence per se is liability for violation of a statute.
The border or skier is also liable because another section of the Colorado Skier Safety Act states that.
33-44-104. Negligence – civil actions.
(1) A violation of any requirement of this article shall, to the extent such violation causes injury to any person or damage to property, constitute negligence on the part of the person violating such requirement.
Most people read this section of the statute and think this is how a ski area is held liable when they violate the statute. And it is. However, the statute is written in a way that the liability is not only that of the ski area, an individual who violates the statute can be civilly liable also.
Any violation of this article which causes an injury creates liability on the part of the person who violated the statute, and that is not limited to the ski area. Since no specific "person" is named, then any person who causes injury is liable.
What about the ski area?
No ski area checks to see if everyone riding the lift or skiing has a brake or a leash. If a ski area did, they would have to put in a permanent exit from the lift line so boarders could go buy leashes (or go home because they don't have enough money for a leash).
However, the ski area is not liable if they allow someone on the ski hill without a leash or a brake. The statute is specific on when a ski area is liable and C.R.S. §§
C.R.S. §§ 33-44-109(6) is not on the list that creates liability to the resort.
But what about the manufacturers of the snowboard bindings that are sold without leashes? Is the manufacturer liable for selling a product that does not include a statutory safety item?
Probably not, because the liability is on the individual according to the statute. However, in some states, could that liability continue up the chain and hold the snowboard manufacturer or binding manufacturer liable.
Other state ski area statutes
Seventeen states have ski area safety statutes. (See State Ski Safe Acts.) Of those seventeen states eight have some requirement for "retention devices." All eight require skiers (and boarders) to wear retention devices. Three of the statutes place a duty on the ski area to post notices about wearing the retention devices, CN, ID and ND. Not statute creates liability for the ski area for allowing people to ski or ride without brakes or leashes.
[Emphasize added]
Sec. 29-211. (Formerly Sec. 19-418k). Duties of operator of passenger tramway or ski area.
In the operation of a passenger tramway or ski area, each operator shall have the obligation to perform certain duties including, but not limited to:
(2) of this section and notifying each skier that the wearing of ski retention straps or other devices used to prevent runaway skis is required by section 29-213, as amended by this act;
Sec. 29-213. (Formerly Sec. 19-418m). Prohibited conduct by skiers.
No skier shall:
(7) fail to wear retention straps or other devices used to prevent runaway skis;
§ 6-1103. Duties of ski area operators with respect to ski areas
Every ski area operator shall have the following duties with respect to their operation of a skiing area:
(7) To post notice of the requirements of this chapter concerning the use of ski retention devices. This obligation shall be the sole requirement imposed upon the ski area operator regarding the requirement for or use of ski retention devices;
§ 6-1106. Duties of skiers
No skier shall fail to wear retention straps or other devices to help prevent runaway skis.
§ 99C-2. Duties of ski area operators and skiers
(5) To wear retention straps, ski brakes, or other devices to prevent runaway skis or snowboards;
53-09-03. DUTIES OF SKI OPERATORS WITH RESPECT TO SKI AREAS.
7. To post notice, at or near the boarding area for each aerial passenger tramway designed to transport passengers with skis attached to boots, of the requirements of this chapter concerning the use of ski retention devices. This obligation is the sole requirement imposed upon the ski area operator regarding the requirement for or use of ski retention devices.
53-09-05. DUTIES OF PASSENGERS.
Every passenger shall have the duty not to:
8. Wear skis without properly securing ski retention straps.
§ 18-105. DUTIES OF SKIERS
All skiers shall have the following duties:
12. To wear retention straps or other devices to prevent runaway skis;
30.985. Duties of skiers; effect of failure to comply.
(h)Skiers must wear retention straps or other devices to prevent runaway skis.
§ 8.01-227.17. Duties and responsibilities of winter sports participants and certain other individuals
g. Wearing retention straps, ski brakes, or other devices to prevent runaway equipment;
So, What Now?
If you lose a ski or board and that board hit someone or something and cause's injury, you will be liable in eight states and probably liable in all states.
Possibly in some states, the manufacturer of the bindings who does not provide brakes or leashes (retention devices) could be liable.
Ski areas are not liable for failing to check for retention devices, and they are not liable if a ski or snowboard gets away from someone and injuries another guest.
Ski areas can stop you from skiing, riding or boarding a lift without brakes or leashes, but few if any do.
That leaves several unanswered questions.
What should the resorts do? Should they enforce the rule to require everyone to have a retention device?

What is Skiing? In New Hampshire, the definition does not include tubbing in 2004.

Definition of the New Hampshire Skier Safety Act in 2004 was not written broadly enough to include tubing.
Sweeney v. Ragged Mountain Ski Area, Inc., 151 N.H. 239; 855 A.2d 427; 2004 N.H. LEXIS 126
State: New Hampshire, Supreme Court of New Hampshire
Plaintiff: Alaina Sweeney
Defendant: Ragged Mountain Ski Area, Inc.
Plaintiff Claims: Negligence
Defendant Defenses: New Hampshire Skier Safety Act
Holding: Reversed and Remanded, sent back to trial for the Plaintiff
Colorado's ski area statute uses the term skier to describe anyone on the resort property. That means the term skier also includes snowboarders, telemark skiers, bike skiers, Nordic skier and tubers.
The plaintiff went tubing at the defendant's tubbing hill. The hill was only for tubing and did not allow skiing on the tubing hill. No employees were present at the tubing hill when the plaintiff was tubing. While tubing she crossed from one lane to the other and collided with another tuber.
She sued, and the ski area argued to the trial court that the New Hampshire Ski Area Safety Act defined skier to include tubers. The trial court agreed and dismissed the complaint.
The plaintiff appealed.
The New Hampshire Ski Area Safety Act has been amended since this case to include in the definition of skier a snow tuber. At the time of this case, the definition of skier, which is what the controlled was defined "A "skier" is defined as "a person utilizing the ski area under the control of a ski area operator for the purpose of utilizing the ski slopes, trails, jumps or other areas."
A court look or examining a statute cannot broaden the definitions in the statute unless the statute specifically grants the court that right. Although the courts are the final arbiter of a statute, the review is limited to what the legislature put into the statute.
We are the final arbiter of the intent of the legislature as expressed in the words of the statute considered as a whole. We first examine the language of the statute, and, where possible, we ascribe the plain and ordinary meanings to the words used. Id. When the language of a statute is plain and unambiguous, we need not look beyond it for further indication of legislative intent.
When a statute such as this one changes the common law, the statute must be interpreted strictly. The presumption in a law like this is the statute took away rights, not created or added additional ones. Here the statute created immunity for ski areas, taking away the common law right to sue so the statute was to be interpreted strictly.
Accordingly, then, immunity provisions barring the common law right to recover are to be strictly construed. We have often stated that we will not interpret a statute to abrogate the common law unless the statute clearly expresses that intent.
The court then looked at how ski slopes, trails, jumps or other areas were defined in the act to see if that included tubing hills. However, that definition was also specific and narrow.
Ski slopes, trails and areas" are further defined as "only those areas designated by the alpine or nordic ski operator on trail boards or maps . . . to be used by skiers for the purpose of participating in the sport of skiing.
Again, tubing was not part of the definition of the act. "Thus, a "skier" is limited to one who "participates in the sport of skiing," and, as such, the statutory references to "skiers" necessarily inform our interpretation of the "sport of skiing."
The court then went back and examined other parts of the New Hampshire Ski Safety Act to see if any part of the act could be used to provide protection to the ski area. The declaration, the first part of the statute detailing why the statute was created and the value of the statute to the state did not include a reference to tubing, only to skiing.
It shall be the policy of the state of New Hampshire to define the primary areas of responsibility of skiers and other users of alpine (downhill) and nordic (cross country and ski jumps) areas, recognizing that the sport of skiing and other ski area activities involve risks and hazards which must be assumed as a matter of law by those engaging in such activities, regardless of all safety measures taken by the ski area operators.
The court found that based on the declaration, the purpose and focus of the statute was for alpine and Nordic ski area. Because the plaintiff was not utilizing an alpine or Nordic slope, the plaintiff was not a skier. As such there was no protection afforded by the New Hampshire Skier Safety Act because the act, at the time of the lawsuit, only protected ski areas from skiers.
The trial court dismissal was overthrown, and the case sent back to proceed to trial.
There is an old adage that says the law grinds slowly but grinds finely. Meaning the law works slowly but when it works to solve the problem. Here the New Hampshire Skier Safety Act was probably enacted prior to the interest in tubing. Many other states with skier safety statutes have broader definitions of a skier who in most cases includes tubing. In some cases, the definition of a skier is a person on the ski area for any purpose.
Here the act was written narrowly, the definitions were not broad enough to include tubing. Nor were the definitions able to be broadened because that power was not provided to the court by the legislature when it passed the act.
Of real interest is the idea that no employees were present on the tubing hill at the time of the accident. It does not say, but the tubing hill probably did not include a lift and people walked up hill pulling a tube.
Either way, if you are in doubt as to whether or not a statute may provide protection to you for the activity you are selling, you should use a release.

Alaina Sweeney v. Ragged Mountain Ski Area, Inc.
No. 2003-719
SUPREME COURT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
151 N.H. 239; 855 A.2d 427; 2004 N.H. LEXIS 126
May 6, 2004, Argued
July 15, 2004, Opinion Issued
SUBSEQUENT HISTORY: [***1] Released for Publication July 15, 2004.
PRIOR HISTORY: Merrimack.
DISPOSITION: Reversed and remanded.
COUNSEL: Wiggin & Nourie, P.A., of Manchester (Peter E. Hutchins on the brief and orally), for the plaintiff.
Wadleigh, Starr & Peters, P.L.L.C., of Manchester (Robert E. Murphy, Jr. on the brief and orally), for the defendant.
JUDGES: GALWAY, J. BRODERICK, C.J., and NADEAU, DALIANIS and DUGGAN, JJ., concurred.
OPINION BY: GALWAY
[*240] [**428] GALWAY, J. The plaintiff, Alaina Sweeney, appeals an order of the Superior Court (Fitzgerald, J.) granting a motion to dismiss filed by the defendant, Ragged Mountain Ski Area, Inc. (Ragged Mountain). We reverse and remand.
The relevant facts follow. On March 21, 2001, the plaintiff went snow tubing at Ragged Mountain, which operates, among other things, snow tube runs. The snow tube area was designated only for snow tubing, and was not used for alpine or nordic skiing. When the plaintiff went snow tubing, no employees of Ragged Mountain were present to instruct her on the proper use of the snow tube. The plaintiff made a few "runs" down the snow tube trail. On [***2] her last run, she crossed the center line between snow tube lanes, [**429] continued down the adjacent lane, and ultimately collided with another snow tuber.
The plaintiff brought a negligence claim against Ragged Mountain for injuries sustained as a result of the collision. Ragged Mountain moved to dismiss, alleging that RSA 225-A:24, I (2000) barred recovery because it precludes claims brought by those injured in the "sport of skiing," which, Ragged Mountain argued, includes snow tubing. The plaintiff argued that the statute does not apply to snow tubers. The court granted Ragged Mountain's motion to dismiss.
On appeal, the plaintiff first argues that RSA 225-A:24, I, does not bar her claim because it does not apply to snow tubers. Because we agree, we need not address her other arguments.
The plaintiff contends that pursuant to RSA 225-A:24, I, ski area operators are granted immunity from liability only when claims are filed by those who participate in the "sport of skiing." She argues that because snow tubing is not the "sport of skiing," RSA 225-A:24, I, does not preclude her [***3] recovery. Ragged Mountain disagrees, arguing that the "sport of skiing" includes snow tubing.
[HN1] "In reviewing the trial court's grant of a motion to dismiss, our task is to ascertain whether the allegations pleaded in the plaintiff's writ are reasonably susceptible of a construction that would permit recovery." Rayeski v. Gunstock Area, 146 N.H. 495, 496, 776 A.2d 1265 (2001) (quotation omitted). "We assume all facts pleaded in the plaintiff's writ are true, and we construe all reasonable inferences drawn from those facts in the plaintiff's favor." Id. "We then engage in a threshold inquiry that tests the facts in the complaint against the applicable law." Id. (quotation omitted). If the facts fail to constitute a basis for legal relief, we will uphold the granting of [*241] the motion to dismiss. Cambridge Mut. Fire Ins. Co. v. Crete, 150 N.H. 673, 674-75, 846 A.2d 521, 523 (2004).
The question before us is one of statutory interpretation-whether RSA 225-A:24, I, grants immunity to ski area operators against claims for injuries brought by snow tubers. [HN2] We are the final arbiter of the intent of the legislature as expressed in [***4] the words of the statute considered as a whole. In the Matter of Jacobson & Tierney, 150 N.H. 513, 515, 842 A.2d 77 (2004). We first examine the language of the statute, and, where possible, we ascribe the plain and ordinary meanings to the words used. Id. When the language of a statute is plain and unambiguous, we need not look beyond it for further indication of legislative intent. Id.
Furthermore, [HN3] "statutes in derogation of the common law are to be interpreted strictly." 3 N. Singer, Sutherland Statutory Construction § 61:6, at 255 (6th ed. rev. 2001). While a statute may abolish a common law right, "there is a presumption that the legislature has no such purpose." Id. § 61.1, at 222. If such a right is to be taken away, "it must be noted clearly by the legislature." Id. at 222-23. Accordingly, then, immunity provisions barring the common law right to recover are to be strictly construed. We have often stated that we will not interpret a statute to abrogate the common law unless the statute clearly expresses that intent. See State v. Hermsdorf, 135 N.H. 360, 363, 605 A.2d 1045 (1992); see also Douglas v. Fulis, 138 N.H. 740, 742, 645 A.2d 76 (1994). [***5]
RSA 225-A:24, entitled, "Responsibilities of Skiers and Passengers," states, in relevant part:
[HN4] It is hereby recognized that, regardless of all safety measures which may be taken by the ski area operator, skiing as [**430] a sport and the use of passenger tramways associated therewith may be hazardous to the skiers or passengers. Therefore:
I. Each person who participates in the sport of skiing accepts as a matter of law, the dangers inherent in the sport, and to that extent may not maintain an action against the operator for any injuries which result from such inherent risks, dangers, or hazards. The categories of such risks, hazards or dangers which the skier or passenger assumes as a matter of law include but are not limited to the following: variations in terrain, surface or subsurface snow or ice conditions; bare spots; rocks, trees, stumps and other forms of forest growth or debris; . . . pole lines and plainly marked or visible snow making equipment; collisions with other skiers or other persons or with any of the categories included in this paragraph.
[*242] RSA 225-A:24, I (emphasis added). As we have previously [***6] held, RSA 225-A:24, I, [HN5] limits skiers' recovery, thereby functioning as an immunity provision for ski area operators. See Nutbrown v. Mount Cranmore, 140 N.H. 675, 680-81, 671 A.2d 548 (1996). In enacting this provision, "the legislature intended to supersede and replace a skier's common law remedies for risks inherent in the sport of skiing." Berniger v. Meadow Green-Wildcat Corp., 945 F.2d 4, 7 (1st. Cir. 1991). The question we must answer today is whether that statute also replaces the plaintiff's common law remedy. In answering this question, we need not precisely define the "sport of skiing," nor list every activity encompassed within that phrase.
Because the phrase "sport of skiing," is not specifically defined, we look to other provisions of the statutory scheme for guidance. [HN6] A "skier" is defined as "a person utilizing the ski area under the control of a ski area operator for the purpose of utilizing the ski slopes, trails, jumps or other areas." RSA 225-A:2, II (2000). "Ski slopes, trails and areas" are further defined as "only those areas designated by the alpine or nordic ski operator [***7] on trail boards or maps . . . to be used by skiers for the purpose of participating in the sport of skiing." RSA 225-A:2, IV (2000) (emphasis added). Thus, a "skier" is limited to one who "participates in the sport of skiing," and, as such, the statutory references to "skiers" necessarily inform our interpretation of the "sport of skiing."
We next look to the declaration of policy set forth at the beginning of the statutory scheme for guidance. See RSA 225-A:1 (2000). RSA 225-A:1 states, in part:
[HN7] It shall be the policy of the state of New Hampshire to define the primary areas of responsibility of skiers and other users of alpine (downhill) and nordic (cross country and ski jumps) areas, recognizing that the sport of skiing and other ski area activities involve risks and hazards which must be assumed as a matter of law by those engaging in such activities, regardless of all safety measures taken by the ski area operators.
(Emphasis added.) This provision indicates that the focus of the statutory scheme is upon those who utilize alpine and nordic areas. It further indicates that [***8] alpine areas are those used for downhill activities, while nordic areas are those used for cross country activities and ski jumps. While utilizing the alpine and nordic areas may not be the sole, defining characteristic of a skier, the policy provision indicates that it is an essential characteristic nonetheless.
Here, the plaintiff was not utilizing an alpine or nordic slope. Rather, as the trial court found, she was utilizing a snow tube run designated [*243] exclusively for snow tubing. Accordingly, we do not believe [**431] she was a skier, or other user of alpine or nordic areas, and, therefore, we cannot conclude that she "participated in the sport of skiing" as intended by the legislature in RSA 225-A:24, I.
Although Ragged Mountain looks to the same statutory provisions we have referenced for support, we believe those provisions are consistent with our more narrow interpretation of RSA 225-A:24, I. [HN8] Nothing in those provisions clearly expresses a legislative intent to preclude a snow tuber, injured while sliding down a run used exclusively for snow tubing, from recovering for her injuries. See Hermsdorf, 135 N.H. at 363. [***9]
Ragged Mountain first relies upon the statutory definition of "skier," RSA 225-A:2, II, to support its position. Given that the statute broadly defines "skier," Ragged Mountain argues that the "sport of skiing" must be similarly broadly defined. We disagree. Ragged Mountain errs in reading the definition of "skier" in isolation. As explained above, [HN9] when that definition is read in conjunction with RSA 225-A:2, IV and RSA 225-A:1, it appears that a "skier" does not include a person snow tubing on a track designated solely for snow tubing. At the very least, we cannot conclude that the statute "clearly expresses" an intent to abrogate the common law right to recover of a snow tuber injured while using a track designated solely for snow tubing. Hermsdorf, 135 N.H. at 363.
Ragged Mountain also relies upon RSA 225-A:1, the policy provision prefacing the statutory scheme, to support its claim. It argues that because the policy provision of the statute "clearly encompasses more than traditional downhill skiing," the "sport of skiing" must include snow tubing.
[HN10] To the extent [***10] that RSA 225-A:1 contemplates winter sports activities other than skiing, it is concerned only with winter sport activities that occur on alpine and nordic slopes. See RSA 225-A:1. The plaintiff in the instant case was not utilizing an alpine or nordic slope, but rather was injured while utilizing a snow tube on a track designated solely for snow tubing. Nothing in the policy provision, then, clearly expresses the legislative intent to extinguish the common law claims of snow tubers injured on a track designated solely for snow tubing.
Because Ragged Mountain cannot point to a statutory provision that clearly expresses a legislative intent to abrogate the plaintiff's common law right to recover, we conclude that the plaintiff's claim is not precluded by RSA 225-A:24, I. See Hermsdorf, 135 N.H. at 363. We reverse the trial court's order granting Ragged Mountain's motion to dismiss and remand [*244] for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. In light of our opinion, we need not address the plaintiff's remaining arguments on appeal.
Reversed and remanded.
BRODERICK, C.J., and [***11] NADEAU, DALIANIS and DUGGAN, JJ., concurred.

Where rule of law is present, corporations…
ABA London Sessions
Where rule of law is present, corporations can invest and promote human rights, panelists say

Global corporations can, and should, play an important role in promoting the rule of law around the world.
That was the consensus of a panel of attorneys, barristers and academics during a Saturday seminar at the ABA London Sessions commemorating the 800th anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta. "Global Corporations and the Rule of Law" program was sponsored by the ABA Section of International Law.
The panel, which was moderated by Isabella Bunn of the University of Oxford, consisted of Catherine Young, executive director of Oxford Analytica in Oxford; Ursula Wynhoven, general counsel and chief of governance and social sustainability of the United Nations Global Compact; Ian McDougall, executive vice president and general counsel of the LexisNexis Legal & Professional; Kirsty Brimelow QC, of Doughty Street Chambers; David Rivkin of Debevoise & Plimpton; and professor Robert McCorquodale, director of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law.
"Why should businesses promote the rule of law?" said McDougall, whose division of LexisNexis partnered with the Atlantic Council to create the Global Rule of Law Business Principles in 2013. "It's the right thing to do. Moreover, there's a direct connection to economics. The stats are amazingly clear—there's a strong correlation between countries that have a strong rule of law strong and GDP growth."
The panelists spoke, at length, about the U.N. Global Compact Business for the Rule of Law, which is scheduled to be unveiled in two weeks' time, according to Wynhoven. "Ian [McDougall] had the initial idea to bring this to the U.N., and it became a key priority," Wynhoven said. "When the rule of law is present and strong, individuals and organizations can invest in the future and adopt a long-term approach while promoting accountability, certainty, equality and human rights."
Human rights were a major theme throughout the panel discussion. As several audience members pointed out, "rule of law" can mean anything and open the door to all kinds of abuses and totalitarian behavior. As such, the panelists were careful to emphasize that they believed in using the rule of law promote human rights in accordance with established international conventions. "There are companies that have fantastic environmental, anti-corruption and anti-human trafficking policies," McDougall said. "Without rule of law, they're just pieces of paper."
Others emphasized the economic benefits of promoting human rights. Rivkin related an anecdote of an energy CEO who calculated that noncompliance or delays as a result of human rights violations and externalities related to them (like labor strikes) cost him $1 billion a year.
"Through our central role in drafting and negotiating contracts, lawyers can play a critical role in helping companies increase their leverage in encouraging other parties to adopt or preserve certain human rights," he said.
Brimelow, meanwhile, argued that a company's reputation can make up a substantial percentage of its total value. "Recent research suggests that 38 percent of the stock market value of the FTSE 100 [British equivalent to the Dow Jones] companies, which is nearly 911 billion pounds, can be attributed to the reputation of that business," Brimelow said. "Those are huge figures, and corporations are waking up to the damaging effect, in cash terms, of what happens when someone on Twitter posts a photo of a mess made by an oil extractor or something like that."
Of course, human rights go beyond dollars and cents. After pointing out the indelible link between the Magna Carta and business interests (McCorquodale pointed out that the barons who forced King John to seal it were businessmen who were looking for stability and protection to continue making their livings), McCorquodale cautioned against equating human rights with corporate social responsibility.
"Corporate social responsibility is about protecting the company and acting in the best interests of the company," McCorquodale said. "Human rights are about protecting victims."

French-born Patrick Ithier is the brainchild behind ASH. Combining his background in sports fashion with a keen eye for innovative designs and impeccable craftsmanship, Ithier rose to international acclaim thanks to his world-famous trademark wedge sneakers. Since then he has established ASH as the go-to shoe brand for exceptional, original and comfortable creations.
Ithier has always had an interest in footwear and worked part-time at various shoe manufacturers and his father's shoe store. It wasn't until his tenure at Charles Jourdan that he realised his true calling in life was designing shoes.
After meeting Italian entrepreneur Leonello Calvani, they both recognised a gap in the market for premium footwear products. Targeted at fashion-fearless men and women in search of tasteful yet practical products, they created ASH. In 2000 their first design was produced.
Following the incredible popularity of their women's footwear, ASH soon expanded their offerings to include men and kid's, and later ventured into handbags and accessories.
In 2015 Ithier entered new territory by launching the brand's first ready-to-wear collection, ASH Studio Paris. A harmony of opposites inspired by urban environments, the collections combine the brand's signature edgy glamour and boho spirit with a sense of playfulness.

Kim Jung Un Thinks He Is At War With The U.S.
Lisa Payne-Naeger
Delusional. That's just about the only way to describe Rocket Man's interpretation of the world's reactions to his pushing the envelope of his forthcoming nuclear capabilities. And he hasn't taken too kindly to President Trump's warnings to stay inside the box as it relates to threatening the U.S. and its allies.
What are you to surmise when you're a crazed North Korean dictator? Of course, it must be war.
CNBC attempts to follow the flawed logic of Kim:
North Korea's foreign minister on Monday accused President Donald Trump of declaring war, saying that gives the rogue regime the right to shoot down U.S. strategic bombers.
Pyongyang could target planes even when they are not flying in North Korean airspace, Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho told reporters in New York.
"The whole world should clearly remember it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country," he said.
"Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country," he added.
President Trump recently said this on Twitter:
Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!
Yes! The days of taking this garbage from foreign dictators is over.

Holy Year brings more people to confessionals in St. Peter's Basilica
Posted on March 10, 2016 by Administrator1
Pope Francis confesses in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican March 4. (CNS/Reuters)
By Cindy Wooden
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The number of people going to confession in St. Peter's Basilica increased noticeably in the first months of Year of Mercy, but not among English-speakers, who apparently are staying away from Europe out of fear of terrorism, said the rector of the basilica's team of confessors.
Conventual Franciscan Father Rocco Rizzo, the rector, told the Vatican newspaper that from the opening of the Holy Year Dec. 8 and through February, he heard about 2,000 confessions in St. Peter's.
But, he said, "we are noticing that the majority of penitents are Italian. I think that is due to the alarm over terrorist attacks" following the series of attacks in Paris in November. "This is why the English-language priests have fewer confessions this year."
In an interview published in the March 10 edition of L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, Father Rizzo said that in addition to the 14 Conventual Franciscans assigned full time to the confessionals in St. Peter's Basilica, another 30 of their confreres are supplementing their work during the Holy Year.
The Conventual Franciscans hear confessions every day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the winter; they stay until 7 p.m. in the spring and summer. In addition to Italian, Spanish, English, French, German, Portuguese and Polish, confessors can offer the sacrament in a variety of languages, including Maltese, Chinese and Croatian.
Father Rizzo said he usually hears 20-30 confessions a day in Italian or Spanish, but the number of penitents increases on Saturdays and Sundays, and he will offer the sacrament to at least 50 people each day on the weekend.
Another phenomenon that is increasing, he said, is people coming to the confessionals who are not Catholic. "They want to confess to see what it is about," he said. While confessors can listen to and counsel non-Catholics, it is not considered a sacramental confession in most cases.
Even Catholics visiting St. Peter's Basilica as tourists or even pilgrims may not be very familiar with the sacrament, Father Rizzo said. Many young people will say they have not been to confession since they made their first Communion, and it is not usual for someone to come and say it has been 30 years since they last confessed.
"I have had people come who listened to the words of the pope and then remembered that 30 or 40 years ago they committed a serious sin and they now feel the need to reconcile with the Lord," he said. "In particular, women have come to me who have had an abortion, and they carry with them this open wound that never heals. Even if they already have confessed the sin, they want to re-confess it."
For the Year of Mercy, Father Rizzo and the other priests who hear confessions at St. Peter's and the major basilicas of Rome have been given special faculties to extend absolution even in cases like abortion that normally require consultation with the local bishop or even with the Vatican.
Another Year of Mercy change, he said, is in the penance given to those coming to confession. Increasingly the priests in the basilica will ask someone to show their repentance not by reciting a set number of prayers, but through a work of mercy, "like visiting someone who is sick, doing the shopping for an older person, paying a bill for someone who is lacking money" or helping someone get to church.
