The Key to Democracy and Peace? Why?
One of the world's most persistent myths is the idea that "peace" between Israelis and Palestinians is the key to progress in the region–the region being, apparently, everything between Morocco and Pakistan. Why this should be so is a mystery, since most of the conflicts in that region, including the most violent ones, haven't involved Israel at all. Yet the myth persists.
The wave of uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa is of historic significance equal to that of the revolutions of 1848 and 1989 in Europe. The peoples of the region, without exception, revolted not only in the name of universal values but also to regain their long-suppressed national pride and dignity.
But whether these uprisings lead to democracy and peace or to tyranny and conflict will depend on forging a lasting Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement and a broader Israeli-Arab peace.
Why on earth would that be true? Currently an uprising is going on in Libya, to take just one example. We don't know whether Qaddafi will stay in power or whether the rebels will be victorious. We don't know who the rebels are, or which faction among them will emerge supreme. We don't know whether the rebels, if they win, will institute either a democracy or a more liberal society. Why will any of this depend on what Israel does vis-a-vis the Palestinians? Are Libyans such a perverse people that the type of society they want to live in depends somehow on Israel?
The plight of the Palestinians has been a root cause of unrest and conflict in the region and is being used as a pretext for extremism in other corners of the world.
Note the two very different points being made in that sentence. The second one is true: Israel and the Palestinians have been used as a pretext by extremists, along with the U.S. stationing troops in Saudi Arabia, intervening in Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan, and so on. But a pretext is just that, a pretext: by definition, removing it will not make the extremism go away.
Israel, more than any other country, will need to adapt to the new political climate in the region.
Really? Why? Israel is already a democracy, and most of the Muslim countries now experiencing unrest–Libya, Bahrain, Iran, Syria, Yemen–don't even have diplomatic relations with Israel. Should they become democracies, how exactly will Israel need to "adapt"? Actually, if there is one country we can single out that may need to adapt to a "new political climate in the region," it is Saudi Arabia, not Israel.
In these times of turmoil, two forces will shape the future: the people's yearning for democracy and the region's changing demographics. Sooner or later, the Middle East will become democratic, and by definition a democratic government should reflect the true wishes of its people. Such a government cannot afford to pursue foreign policies that are perceived as unjust, undignified and humiliating by the public. For years, most governments in the region did not consider the wishes of their people when conducting foreign policy. History has repeatedly shown that a true, fair and lasting peace can only be made between peoples, not ruling elites.
I call upon the leaders of Israel to approach the peace process with a strategic mindset, rather than resorting to short-sighted tactical maneuvers. This will require seriously considering the Arab League's 2002 peace initiative, which proposed a return to Israel's pre-1967 borders and fully normalized diplomatic relations with Arab states.
But wait! Isn't the League's proposal a good example of an offer made by "ruling elites" that may not have reflected the "true wishes of [their] people"? And isn't the heart of the problem, from Israel's perspective, the fact that the elites of the Arab League can't deliver peace when Hamas rules Gaza and Hezbollah controls Lebanon?
History has taught us that demographics is the most decisive factor in determining the fate of nations. In the coming 50 years, Arabs will constitute the overwhelming majority of people between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. The new generation of Arabs is much more conscious of democracy, freedom, and national dignity.
In such a context, Israel cannot afford to be perceived as an apartheid island surrounded by an Arab sea of anger and hostility.
A dignified and viable Palestine, living side by side with Israel, will not diminish the security of Israel, but fortify it.
Why? Israel has already been down this road. It withdrew from Gaza in hopes that a "dignified and viable" Palestinian Authority would maintain the peace there. Instead, Hamas took over and started firing rockets.
Turkey thinks strategically about the Israeli-Palestinian peace process…. We are therefore ready to use our full capacity to facilitate constructive negotiations. Turkey's track record in the years before Israel's Gaza operation in December 2008 bears testimony to our dedication to achieving peace.
Note the delicate reference to "Israel's Gaza operation." Why was that operation necessary? Because of Hamas's commitment to Israel's destruction. Turkey has been harshly critical of Israel's self-defense in Gaza, and more recently has supported the "flotillas" that have tried to break the Gaza blockade to facilitate the shipment of weapons to Hamas.
It will be almost impossible for Israel to deal with the emerging democratic and demographic currents in the absence of a peace agreement with the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world. Turkey, conscious of its own responsibility, stands ready to help.
But that supposed assurance transforms rapidly–in the space of a single op-ed!–into a threat. The Arabs are winning the demographic war, and the younger generation of Arabs will no longer stand for a lack of "national dignity." So Israel had better cave in to longstanding pressures to vacate the West Bank, bless a Palestinian state, and hope for the best–the same course that in the past has only enabled Palestinian violence.
If Muslim states like Turkey would pressure the Palestinians to abandon their hope of conquest and the "right of return," then possibly a lasting peace could occur. But they haven't done this; instead, they have maintained the Palestinians in a perpetual state of dependence and have used them as shock troops and, as Gul observes with respect to extremists, as a pretext for their own policies.
It may well be true that the current uprisings will impact Israel, for better or worse. In particular, the overthrow of Mubarak has the potential to cause grave problems–depending, obviously, on what sort of regime succeeds him. But whatever happens, Israel has no choice but to defend itself. Knuckling under to international pressure to take actions that will compromise its security makes no more sense now than it did before the current unrest began.

Steam Deck available in several Asian markets from December 17
By Jeremy Laird
The slow roll out continues.
Valve's smash-hit Steam Deck (opens in new tab) pocket gaming rig will be available in several Asian markets from December 17th. The lucky territories are Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The puny powerhouse can be ordered via the Komodo website (opens in new tab) in the familiar 64GB, 256GB and 512GB configs.
Steam Deck availability worldwide has been limited since launch in February thanks to a combination of high demand and ye olde pandemic-induced supply chain issues. At launch, the unit only shipped to the United States, UK, Canada and the European Union. Wait times have been intermittently painful, and several territories including Australia (opens in new tab) still await news on availability.
Only last month, we reported that Steam Deck and docking station are finally available without reservation (opens in new tab) in the US . Currently, both the US and the UK official Steam Deck websites are quoting a one to two week wait time from order, which is a huge improvement.
That said, Valve has also conceded in a blog post (opens in new tab) that, "if order volume for a specific model of Steam Deck grows higher than our ability to ship it in a timely manner," that could change.
Pricing varies by territory, so hit up the Komodo site for more info.

– It was great seeing old friends at the Fatal 4 Way Sunday. These are crazy days and not overly condusive to long, leisurely discussions but it was a good day nonetheless.
Enjoyed visiting with the various broadcasters in WWE prior to the PPV and hope that I can offer them some help as time goes on at future PPV events.
Honestly, it was tough being at a big event and watching it from the locker room area and not being at ringside wearing a headset. It's not so bad at home in the old, La-Z-Boy but being at the actual site and not seeing any action is challenging for an old warhorse like me. Joey Styles kept me company and I enjoyed watching the majority of the PPV with the voice of ECW Wrestling. There's just a touch of irony in that last sentence one might say.
Helping young talents get better in and out of the ring especially preparing for a challenging and often times short career in the genre are aspects that excite me about my monthly visits to FCW in Tampa.
– There were fans in the hotel lobby, or so I was told by hotel staff Monday morning, until 3 a.m. and many of them had their children with them. School age children sitting in a hotel lobby until the middle of the night hoping to get an autograph or a photo with a WWE talent. I realize that school is out for the summer but I have a hard time buying into the fact that small kids were sitting in a hotel lobby trying to stay awake when they should have been at home in their own beds. Most of the WWE folks traveled on to Bridgeport after the PPV and some even toward new Hampshire so unfortunately many of the lobby dwelling, autograph seekers had to settle for the King and I who had dinner together there at the Marriott next to the Coliseum. King and I did meet some really nice fans after the PPV and appreciate them caring enough to want a photo or an autograph.


I'm a firm believer that the golf swing has to be controlled by the lead side; that would be the left side for a right hand player, the right side for the lefties out there. The reason for that is that the body core rotation is the center of the swing, and really cannot move around all that much and let you stay in balance. So, a firm lead side keeps the distance between the ball and body core very consistent from top of backswing through impact and into the follow through, where it logically has to break down a bit and the trailing side extension takes over.
So, if the lead side is the controller, the lead hand's hold on the golf club is super-crucial to achieving desirable and consistent results. Today's column is completely devoted to breaking down the lead or upper hand's position on the grip. Done correctly, this can almost force a more reliable swing. But a fundamentally unsound hold on the club with lead hand will prevent you from ever reaching your potential.
As you read this, it would be helpful to grab a golf club to have it handy. Now, look at your opened left hand (for righties from here out) and lay the golf club grip across in such a way that the grip is laying on the first joint of the forefinger, crossing the point where the middle fingers join the palm, and then across the pad in the palm just above the little finger. About 1" of the grip should extend past the heel of your hand.
Now, just curl your fingers – not your thumb – around the grip, so that you have a firm but not tight hold on the club, primarily with the last three fingers. If you stand up and hold the club in front of you, you should feel like you have control of the club with the last three fingers, and the forefinger and thumb are just kind of "hanging around". They really are not that much in the picture, but just gently folded onto the grip.
As you stand up and try to hold the club directly in front of you, parallel to the ground or floor, you'll find that the club is well in control without your thumb or forefinger even engaged. It is levered under the heel pad of the hand and across the fingers. Looking down, you should see at least two, but possibly three knuckles of the back of your hand.
If this feels really awkward, you've probably been holding the club much too far up into the palm of your hand, which prevents a proper release through impact and robs you of most of your body core power. If you have room to stand up and swing the club back and through, about a half swing, do that with just this left hand hold on the golf club. Just slowly swing the arm back and through, with just the left hand on the club and you'll feel the club "loading" into the backswing and releasing through impact into the follow-through. You don't really have to do anything but swing your arm back and forth and let this happen naturally.
Spend some time getting that feeling over the next few days, and I'll get the other hand on the club on Tuesday.
This is the grip concept that Ben Hogan promoted on his book and used all his career. Thanks for sharing this key swing tip.

A Sister's Wish (The Charmed Amish Life, Bk. 3)
Author: Gray, Shelley Shepard
Qty Avail: 19
Amelia Kinsinger is the perfect Amish woman - at least according to her neighbors. And while Amelia takes pride in her role as homemaker, she's also harboring a secret: She's been in love with bad boy Simon Hochstetler for as long as she can remember. Too bad he's about as far from "perfect" as an Amish man could get . . . but that's exactly why she's so drawn to him.
Life hasn't been kind to Simon. He ran away from an abusive home at fifteen and things went downhill from there. Eventually, Simon landed in prison. But the experience changed him. Now back in Charm as a grown man, he's determined to make a new life for himself and not think too much about his wild past…unless it pertains to Amelia.
He's loved Amelia for years. To him, she represents everything good and kind in the world. When he realizes that she returns his affections, he starts calling on her in secret, even though her older brother Lukas - who just happens to be Simon's best friend - has made it perfectly clear that Amelia deserves better. Simon disagrees and believes he's the only one who can truly make her happy.
But when Amelia gets hurt, it sets off a chain of events that forces them to consider their future together - and face their past mistakes. There's a chance for love . . . but only if Simon dares to trust Amelia with the secrets of his past.

Home Space Now computers are learning to find solar flares, more in real time
Now computers are learning to find solar flares, more in real time
Machine-learning technique searches satellite data for features significant for space weather.
Kamesh
Computers are learning to find solar flares and other events in vast streams of solar images and help NOAA forecasters issue timely alerts, according to a new study.
The machine-learning technique, developed by scientists at CIRES and NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), searches massive amounts of satellite data to pick out features significant for space weather.
Changing conditions on the Sun and in space can affect various technologies on Earth, blocking radio communications, damaging power grids, and diminishing navigation system accuracy.
Being able to process solar data in real-time is important because flares erupting on the Sun impact Earth for minutes. These techniques provide a rapid, updated overview of solar features and can point us to areas requiring more scrutiny.
To predict incoming space weather, forecasters summarize current conditions on the Sun twice daily. Today, they use hand-drawn maps labeled with various solar features including, active regions, filaments, and coronal hole boundaries. But solar imagers produce a new set of observations every few minutes.
For example, the Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) on NOAA's GOES-R Series satellites runs on a 4-minute cycle, collecting data in six different wavelengths every cycle.
Keeping up with all that data could take up a lot of a forecaster's time. "We need tools to process solar data into digestible chunks.
The researcher created a computer algorithm that can look at all the SUVI images and spot patterns in the data. With his colleagues, Hughes created a database of expert-labeled maps of the Sun and used those images to teach a computer to identify solar features important for forecasting.
The algorithm identifies solar features using a decision-tree approach that follows a set of simple rules to distinguish between different traits. It examines an image one pixel at a time and decides, for example, whether that pixel is brighter or dimmer than a certain threshold before sending it down a branch of the tree.
Once the system training, it can classify millions of pixels in seconds, supporting forecasts that could be routine or just an alert or warning.
The algorithm learns so it can help forecasters understand what's happening on the Sun for more than they currently do.
The technique also sees patterns humans can't. It can sometimes find features we had difficulty identifying ourselves.
The algorithm's skill at finding patterns is not only useful for short-term forecasting, but also for helping scientists test long-term solar data and improve models of the Sun.
NCEI and SWPC are still testing the tool for tracking changing solar conditions so forecasters can issue more accurate watches, warnings, and alerts. The tool could be made operational as early as the end of 2019.

Singer, Songwriter, Producer & musician B~Free is no stranger to taking first steps into new artistic territory. "No More," her debut as a music video director, is the first single release off her new album "Ode 2 A Luv Affair." The video portrays a young woman, played by B-Free, freeing herself from the bonds of an abusive relationship.
The video's images and lyrics combine to make a compelling statement about a woman taking back her power and stepping into a new life. After witnessing close acquaintances caught in such situations, the singer researched the complexities of domestic abuse while composing the tune.
"No More" is the first cut of a conceptual album that traverses the ups and downs of romantic relationships. "Ode 2 a Luv Affair" explores vulnerability, passion and compromise with B-Free's unique talents.
"My style is very much rooted in my 90s R&B musical upbringing, with traces of current influences in today's Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop & R&B." She produced, wrote and performed on 13 of the album's 14 tracks.
Taking another first step, B-Free features her flute playing throughout the album. "I've played jazz and classical flute for 17 years and I wanted to begin showcasing more of my versatility in my production as a solo artist." The jazz flute solos at the beginning and end of "No More" signal hope and self determination.
The album is a testament to B~Free's own fortitude in the face of extreme challenges. In 2013, pneumonia and a throat infection left her unable to speak – let alone sing – for three months. Vocal cord surgery followed, leaving the musician fearing she would never sing again. After a traumatic year when she couldn't sing a single note, B~Free became more dedicated than ever to share her musical gifts.


Resilience. It's the ability to adapt to changing conditions and to maintain or regain functionality in the face of stress or disturbance. In short, it is the capacity to bounce back.
In August 2003, I was in Manhattan with some associates on a business trip. I insisted that we stay in The Hudson, my favorite hotel (winning out over their suggestion of a tall glass tower in Times Square). The Hudson is a renovated former SRO (single room occupancy, aka flophouse) built in 1928. It has tiny rooms, but authentic materials and, being one of the first of Philippe Starck's hotel designs, it is full of up-to-the-minute trendy details.
It turned out that our trip coincided with the Northeast Blackout of 2003, the biggest blackout the country had experienced. We were walking in SoHo, on our way to an appointment, when we realized the power was out in that building … no, in the whole block … actually all of Manhattan. We heard people saying the power was out all the way to Canada. Not knowing what to do, and with no choice really, we walked from SoHo back to our hotel, about four miles.
By the time we got back, it was dark. We were allowed into our rooms and told to open the windows for ventilation. There were candles on the landing to light the way. We ate dinner from our minibars since no restaurants were open.
We didn't know what had happened, but we knew it was a major disaster. The next day, we walked to Penn Station to catch a train to Philadelphia so we could fly home from there. It took nearly a week for power to be fully restored.
I tell this story because I later learned how fortunate we were. The operable windows in our old brick hotel allowed us to be able to occupy the building on that hot August night. The folks that stayed in the shiny glass towers ended up sleeping on the sidewalks. The modern buildings, with no functioning elevators and no operable windows, left hotel guests literally sleeping on the streets. As we consider the issue of designing for resilience, this becomes an issue of major importance.
As our cities have grown and evolved, they have grown to suit the needs and desires of those who inhabit them in large and small ways. As a culture, we make decisions that shape our environment—one block, one building, at a time.
We generally only consider designing to address climate concerns or other environmental shocks—but only after something has happened to impact us directly. The issues of sea-level rise don't seem to have any impact in Dallas. We're not (yet) categorized in an earthquake zone in spite of increasing nearby tremors. The power is pretty reliably here to run our HVAC and lighting systems. So why should we worry? We continue to design code-compliant buildings, not focusing on the fact that just meeting code makes them the worst possible buildings that one can legally build.
Our environment faces two kinds of threats: acute, or sudden traumatic shocks, and chronic, gradual changes in our living conditions that affect us dramatically, but the impact happens gradually enough that there isn't a given moment when we recognize it as a problem. The sudden shocks—tornadoes, floods, power outages—demand attention because they are such immediate threats. Response to them is often quite literally "do or die." We do what we must, then after the fact we try to prepare for the next one, building a little taller wall or levy, strengthening the structure, or installing back-up generators.
The resilient component of that response is that we learn from those events and become better able to respond to a similar occurrence in the future. But that's not all of it. Resilience is more than disaster recovery. It's not just getting back into your home as quickly as possible after the incident. It's making sure that next time you don't have to leave your community, but can stay in it safety. This is where designing for resilience begins.
Thinking about designing for resilience has to start with consideration of the other kind of threats: the chronic ones that sneak up on us. We have noticed that severe storms seem to come with greater and greater frequency. It has been widely reported that 2015 had the highest increase in temperature on record, making it the hottest year ever. It's clear that 2016 is already breaking those records.
The record heat leads to fears of another drought, which will lead to further arguments about water supply. We have seen an ever-diminishing inventory of open green spaces, leading to habitat reduction and increased heat islands. We also now have greater threats of earthquakes, a previously unheard of issue for our area.
None of these trends, though, cause us to suddenly take dramatic steps to change our buildings or our behavior. These are the chronic conditions that gradually make us change our response over time. Designing for resilience needs to begin with understanding the impact of these trends. For architects, the more interesting problem is learning from these events and incorporating new thinking into the concept of building performance.
What level of survivability can be assured if the electricity goes out?
How can a building contribute to community stability in times of crisis?
What will the water supply be after several days without power?
These questions might fundamentally change our approach to shaping the built environment.
A lot of the design responses to the need for resilience are the same as design responses to the need for sustainability: passive ventilation that doesn't require power, plentiful daylighting, siting structures away from fragile wetlands and coastal areas, and allowing the elements to enter and leave the building without damaging it.
An excellent example of this last premise is the Sea Scouts Base in Galveston, designed by Shipley Architects. To capture the nautical experience for its youthful occupants, the building emulates a ship in its layout and materials. Being right on the coast, it will undoubtedly be subjected to storms; all materials are therefore weather-resistant. The exterior corridors offer a connection to the sea views as well as providing a shading device for the rooms. The ability of the ground floor to receive high water and to maintain functionality is the essence of resilient design.
Another aspect of resilience is not directly attributed to the building, but can be enhanced by a project's design. It has been shown that a community's resilience is surprisingly correlated to its social connectivity. Buildings that are designed for the community, and especially with community involvement, are those most prized by those who live, work, and play in the neighborhood.
Buildings well-known in the community can serve multiple purposes in times of emergencies. First off, with emergency generators either built in or brought in for the task, buildings can provide power for the all-important cell phone chargers. They can also offer community bulletin boards for public information. It's important, too, that first responders have a well-known location to establish a presence. These sorts of emergency services can pop up at a school, recreation center, church, or library—any building well-known in the area.
One such project is the Prairie Creek Branch Library by DSGN Associates. The new building replaced a much-loved and much-used library in Pleasant Grove. By involving the community early in the design process, the design team created a sense of ownership in the replacement facility. The main reading room provides expansive views to a re-created prairie, and can also be easily day-lit in a power outage. Because the community was so involved with its design, the library is an easy-to-remember access point for emergency gatherings.
Another project that acts as a community center providing multiple services is the St. Philips School and Community Center with a recent addition by TH+A. The organization provides a safe alternative recreational opportunity for children in its urban Dallas neighborhood, strengthening the school's ties to the local area, from which many of its students are drawn. Because the outreach programs that give the community a familiarity with the center, students will be comfortable convening there for support.
The issues of designing for resilient communities are complex. The process combines many of the skills that architects and engineers use to create excellent buildings that are responsive to the site, address environmental concerns, and contribute to the community. Understanding the many ways buildings help people cope with dramatic events will make architecture an important tool in facing these changes.

Medical aid in dying (MAID) is going to come and Palliative Care organisations in New Zealand need to start taking their heads out of the sand and join forces in establishing a good integrated system for end-of-life care to benefit terminally ill patients, retired intensive care specialist Dr Jack Havill, of Hamilton, said Monday.
Dr Havill, a committee member and former President of the End-of-Life Choice Society, said: "The innate value of life is likely to be enhanced where extensive suffering is avoided.
Dr Havill was responding to Jane Rollings, chair of the Palliative Care Nurses NZ organisation, who said in a statement Friday that nurses and doctors should not be involved in euthanasia.
Dr Havill recalled that 40 years ago, health professionals were making it very difficult for palliative care workers, saying they were not needed, and the workers were fighting to establish themselves along with hospices. "That was as a result of professional capture and a good deal of ignorance from the traditional providers of end of life care at that time.

Hi I'm Eric. You may have seen me hanging around the common room playing games and generally hanging out. Well now instead of simply refilling the pop machine and helping out other execs I'd like to take some more responsibility and help organize the CSSS. That's right I'd like to be your Director of Archives.
After spending some time as an exec at large along with my previous experience as Treasurer of SFU's Canadian Cancer Society, I believe I'd be a good fit for Director of Archives. Having good organizational skills along with learning from a variety of sources like past DOAs and other committees both new and old. Quickly learning and improving on these methods used in both past and present are some of the skills I plan on bringing to the table.
As an exec at large Corbett has previously contacted me about considering past meeting minutes and documents to organize ideas and events that the CSSS had previously implemented. This way we can look back at what can be approved upon and avoid events and acts that didn't go so well.
In short as Director of Archives I promise to keep our current and any future documents, for both meeting minutes as well as summary for different events and undertakings, orderly. At the same time I wish to reorganize and catalogue as much of the past documents as possible and bring anything interesting that may be found to the light of the rest of our society.
My name's Keon Li, and I'm a first-year computer science student. Some of you may have met, spoken, or even befriended me this past semester. If you've ever met me, you'd know at least these two things about me: I bring surprises wherever I go, and I am always committed to anything I am passionate about.
While I don't have many experiences in SFU yet, I've been the student council vice president for a mini-school of 90 students. I took minutes, organized events, and attempted my best to act as a role model to my colleagues while trying to keep an upbeat and light-hearted attitude.
Vote for me and all my surprises to be your next Director of Archives, and maybe I won't lose!

Kris Carr was an up and coming photographer and actress in high demand. She was in two commercials that aired during the 2003 Super Bowl and quickly gained more and more popularity after that. With the new requests, her lifestyle changed.
She was always on the go, eating fast food and energy drinks to get through the next interview or audition, and this lifestyle was starting to take its toll. She would go through 'cleansing periods' to help get her on track; eat clean, train like crazy, and take time for herself. But usually fell back into old habits.
During one of these particular 'cleansing periods,' Kris woke up extremely sore, she thought it was from her workouts. She experienced cramping, extreme abdominal pain, and had trouble breathing. Kris decided to see her physician. During her checkup, Kris was told she would need her gallbladder removed. With this appointment came an ultrasound for the doctor to get a better idea of what was going on.
Kris had no clue that what her doctor would find, would change her life forever.
She was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer; stage IV EHE.
The tumors growing inside of her were affecting her blood vessels in her lungs and her liver. This diagnosis encouraged her to jump into self-care and live a healthy, joyful life.
Kris spent a lot of her time researching, reading, and discovering different ways to reach optimal health and pursue a lively lifestyle despite her diagnosis. She interviewed doctors, authors, and other health experts to further her knowledge.
During this journey, Kris would keep track of her journey; leading to a documentary called Crazy Sexy Cancer. TLC bought her documentary and its takeaway is for those with cancer to be encouraged. Gone are the days of lying in bed, constantly taking medications and letting life slip away, rather she encourages others that they can still get out and enjoy the world. The documentary is to show how this terrible disease won't hold you back from pursuing your dreams or being empowered or achieving success.
After her diagnosis, Kris used her new platform to set new goals. She is
a New York Time best-selling author
featured in some of the top magazines (Success, Forbes, Glamour)
frequently seen on popular TV shows (Good Morning America)
Her journey to success may look different than it did in 2003, but Kris' hard work has allowed her to accomplish and overcome things she never would have dreamed of.

The Teen Parenting Program at District 214 provides the student with facts, information, and resources concerning pregnancy, labor and delivery, and parenting. A teenage pregnancy can be difficult and District 214 understands the seriousness and sensitivity of the situation. There is a team in place to support pregnant teens: school nurse, counselor, social worker, psychologist, and teen parenting coordinator.
District 214 teens who are pregnant or have delivered and are parenting their baby, may be eligible to attend Vanguard School and participate in Prenatal and Parenting Classes along with continuing the student's high school curriculum. Additional requirements for admission are evaluated individually.
The prenatal class is designed to provide the pregnant teens with facts and information regarding a healthy pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum experience.
Teens who are pregnant, or have delivered and are parenting their baby, are invited to attend this class. Topics for this class include goal setting, consumer education, relationship building, communication and decision making, continued education, and parenting awareness. Additional items addressed include raising healthy children, childhood education and discipline.
One of the goals is to encourage completion of high school and provide resources toward a post high school career. The prenatal and parenting classes provide social-emotional groups, parenting workshops and individual counseling. Teen fathers are encouraged to participate in the program.
District 214 students that choose to remain in their home school are encouraged to attend a social-emotional/parenting support group which meets for one period each week at the home schools within the district.
In addition, each month, an all-day prenatal and parenting workshop is offered for students in the district. Topics covered in these workshops include prenatal and parenting information along with an opportunity for students to build a supportive peer community amongst themselves. Child socialization groups have also been incorporated. These groups meet monthly at Vanguard usually from 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. A variety of activities, speakers, and games are presented at these meetings.
Registered district students are referred by the school nurse after receiving confirmation and documentation of the pregnancy in writing by the doctor. The Teen Parenting Coordinator will do an on-site assessment to determine the needs of each individual student. Every effort will be made to provide an assessment within one week of the request.
The Teen Parenting Coordinator welcomes the student's parent or guardian involvement. Please email the coordinator at teen.parenting@d214.org to set up an appointment to discuss any concerns.

Comeback falls short for Petoskey, T.C. Central earns OT win
Drew Kochanny (231) 439-9345 - dkochanny@petoskeynews.com
TRAVERSE CITY — One team over the history of the Petoskey hockey team has had the Northmen's number more than any other: Traverse City Central.
Heading into Wednesday's Big North Conference opener for the Northmen, the Trojans held a 17-0 advantage on Petoskey in the previous nine years, which includes a 104-16 goal-differential.
After coming back from down 4-1 on Wednesday to force overtime, though, gaining momentum with each comeback goal, it looked as if the Northmen were finally going to break that streak.
In the end, however, the streak extended for the Trojans, as they knocked in a shorthanded goal inside a minute left in overtime for a 5-4 win at Howe Arena in Traverse City.
"We didn't get the start of the game we wanted, but for us to come out and have a strong second period, battle back and tie it was a step in the right direction," Petoskey coach Brent Ward said. "Traverse City is a good team but we saw a lot of good things in our end."
Petoskey, now 0-2 on the season, went down 3-1 after the opening period in Traverse City, with Ethan Decker scoring the lone goal for Petoskey in the first, assisted by Kyle Hebner off a face off.
The Trojans quickly went up 4-1 in the second period, then the comeback was on for Petoskey.
Dan Sysko made it a 4-2 game in the second for Petoskey, assisted by Devin LaFond, then Hebner beat Traverse City's goalie on a backhand shot to make it 4-3.
Petoskey's Mitch Forton added a score as well, then the defense held strong over the final period to force overtime.
Central's final score came off the stick of Nick Sommerfeld at the tail end of a Petoskey power play, assisted by Ethan VanderRoest and Carson Peters.
"It's obviously not the way we wanted to start conference play, we just have to put three periods together," said Ward. "We showed during the second and third periods how we can play, we just need a better start to the game and hopefully if we do that we'll end up on the right side."
After racking up 38 shots in the opener against L'Anse Creuse United, the Northmen added another 25 against the Trojans, while allowing 31.
The offensive production has been nice to see for Ward to start the season.
"We're getting more shots on net and generating more offense," he said. "Us putting four goals in a is a good thing."
The four goals scored against Central comes as their most in the past 20 meetings.
Petoskey will have to shake off the loss pretty quickly, as they hit the road for Royal Oak this Friday, Dec. 1.
"They're usually pretty good," said Ward on the Ravens. "They actually came up here last year so we're returning the favor and heading down there."
Royal Oak earned a 5-2 win over Petoskey a year ago.

Debate: Is breech pathological or a variation of normal?
Marek Glezerman and Betty-Anne Daviss, Moderated by Ken Johnson
After two intense days of learning and discussion, we were all ready to let our hair down a bit. Dr. Marek Glezerman and Betty-Anne Daviss engaged in a debate that was both earnest and hilarious. Ken Johnson (Betty-Anne's husband) heckled his wife for wearing "attire unbecoming a midwife" (she was dressed in asymmetrical layers of purple and green, evoking a tree sprite) and for unfairly influencing the audience when she signaled Dr. Andrew Bisits to stand up and begin playing his violin. But behind the silliness was an earnest question: is breech pathology or simply a variation of normal? What are the implications for how we understand and categorize breech?
Marek Glezerman opened the debate, arguing that the answer to this question has consequences. Why should he enter this mine field of a questions? If you want to struggle for the right cause, you should address the existing concerns by refuting them or handling them.
Personal experience isn't a very scientific place to start, but it's still important. He started his residency 39 years ago and has since headed three OB/GYN departments. Over those years, he's been the chair for around 200,000 deliveries. The chairman's position is important because all adverse outcomes eventually land on his desk.
He next discussed several studies on breech presentations:
Schutte et al, 1985 compared malformations between breech and vertex presentations. They found more malformations at each gestational week with a breech presentation than with a vertex. Schutte observed: "It may be that breech presentation may not be coincidental but rather a product of the quality of the infant...if there is some truth in this supposition, it is unlikely that medical intervention ... can improve the outcome." (Schutte MF, van Hemel OJS, van de Berg C, van de Pol A. Perinatal mortality in breech presentations as compared with vertex presentations in singleton pregnancies: an analysis based upon 58,189 computer-registered pregnancies in The Netherlands. Eur. J. Obstet. Gynecol. Reprod. Biol. 19 (1985): 391-400.)
Breech delivery is associated with more anomalies and higher mortality rates, irrespective of delivery mode. Remember that association is not necessarily causation. About 20% of breech presentations can be explained by these anomalies; the rest are unexplained. Breech presentation is an independent risk factor for neurological pathology and cerebral palsy, irrespective of mode of delivery.
Ochschorn et al, 2009: found that length and coil numbers in the umbilical cord were different in breech vs. vertex presentations. The cords were shorter (57 v 64) and had fewer coils (5 vs 12). We don't know the significance of this phenomenon, just that it exists. (Ochshorn Y et al. Coiling characteristics of umbilical cords in breech vs. vertex presentation. J Perinat Med. 37.5 (2009):525-8.)
Another interesting study by Sekulić et al found decreased expression of fetal movements in the first few days of life in breech presenting babies (all born via CS) which cannot be explained by anything else. We don't know the important or reasons behind this phenomenon. He'd love to see more long-term studies of breech babies vs. cephalic babies in all aspects. (Sekulić S. et al. Decreased expression of the righting reflex and locomotor movements in breech-presenting newborns in the first days of life. Early Hum Dev. 85.4 (Apr 2009):263-6.)
Haruta et al compared breech and vertex babies born by elective cesarean. The breech presenting babies had lower umbilical arterial oxygen levels, more hypoxemia, and lower 1 minute Apgars. (Haruta M et al. Umbilical blood-gas status at cesarean section for breech presentation: a comparison with vertex presentation. [Article in Japanese] Nihon Sanka Fujinka Gakkai Zasshi. 41.10 (Oct 1989): 1530-6)
Kean et al found that breech babies at term had more state transitions in utero than vertex babies. They concluded that "breech babies are different." (Kean LH et al. A comparison of fetal behaviour in breech and cephalic presentations at term. Br J Obstet Gynaecol. 106.11 (Nov 1999): 1209-13.)
We know that breech babies are different. What is the key to that lock? Is it a cesarean? Glezerman argued no--there's no connection between mode of delivery and these differences. So is breech a variation of normalcy? No. Is it pathology or associated with pathology? Sometimes yes, but not all of the time. But we can say that "Breech babies are different."
Breech presentation is not a variation of normalcy; that's using the wrong tool for the right goal. Breech presentation may be the result, not the etiology, of pathology. Patients need to be informed, and courts need to be informed. A persistent breech presentation may need special attention. But cesarean section is no panacea.
We need more long-term prospective data on babies born breech and on persistent breech presentations. We also need to distinguish between statistical and clinical significance. There are many statistical significances in breech presentations that have no clinical significance.
Betty-Anne Daviss asked: Whom does pathologizing the breech serve best? Whom does it harm? To answer that question, she outlined the "3 Ps of corporate global society": Privatize, Professionalize, and Pathologize. (This was a play on words on the 3 P's of birth: Passenger, Power, and Pelvis.)
1. Privatize: World Trade & World Bank
Our world is seeing increased privatization of education and health care. Health care has become a big business, and interventions are sold as commodities. She discussed the 2012 WHO report by Lauer et al on what drives demand for cesarean section. Are cesarean rates rising because of women's choices? They found that the demand-side model is much smaller than previously reported. the supply-side model has some modest effects on cesarean rates; the more it's available, the more it will be used. But they found that health system factors have the largest impact on cesarean utilization rates. These factors are institutional and related to the legal environment in which health-care decisions are made. They concluded that the debate about patient choice vs. doctors' preferences isn't the right question; "health system factors may be an important overlooked population-level determinant." They suggest that cesarean rates might be most amendable to change through modifying health-care policy. (Lauer JA et al. Determinants of caesarean section rates in developed countries: supply, demand and opportunities for control. World Health Report (2010) Background Paper, 29).
2. Professionalize:
The 3 original modern professions were the clergy, lawyers, and doctors. Now everyone's trying to professionalize--midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, lactation consultants, and more. She discussed Inuit responses to professionalizing their birth attendants: "licenses are for fishing; why would you want to professionalize midwives?"
3. Pathologize
Pathologizing what used to be normal life events is endemic in our society and particularly affects women.
Next, Betty-Anne discussed three legal cases involving breech births, illustrating how a pathological model of breech adversely effects both parents and birth attendants, regardless of whether there is a bad outcome. I don't have sufficient information about these cases to discuss them here, but I will list the key details and suggest further research if you're interested:
Alison Osborne vs. the State of California, 1999
____ (midwife) vs. Washington State: Sorry, I don't have any more details on the case name or date. It happened at a time when many women were having unassisted births for their breech babies because they could not find any hospitals willing to do breech births. A midwife attended a breech birth and transported for a prolonged 2nd stage; there was no bad outcome. She was put on trial, and the verdict was, interestingly, that "the midwife needs to learn how to do footling breeches before she continues to do home birth breeches.
Ruth Abigail Light, 2010, Illinois: baby removed from parent's custody because the parents had a breech birth at home.
Breech presentation carries a higher risk than vertex presentation, but we shouldn't necessarily pathologize it. We should instead approach breech from an informed choice perspective. We need to look at absolute and relative risk. Rather than pathologize the breech, we need to pathologize cesarean sections. We also need to address the undocumented severe mental health disorders stemming from traumatic births and lack of choices.
Marek's response: He's convinced that 70-80% of women don't need a hospital to have their babies safely, while 20% of them do. Our problem is we don't know in advance who will need hospital care. We've constructed our whole maternity care system for those 20%. When he started his residency, perinatal mortality and morbidity were much higher than they are today. Let's not just blame medicine, since it has done a great service in bringing down mortality and morbidity rates.
Our problem is not black and white. Breech is not absolute pathology or absolute normality; it's in the gray zone. Residents need much more skill and experience to learn vaginal breech birth than to learn how to do a cesarean section.We need to re-skill our physicians.
Alternative modalities for turning the breech baby
Marie Julia Guittier: Hypnosis for pain control during ECV
Marie Julia, a midwife & PhD candidate from Switzerland, led a study looking at hypnosis for controlling pain associated with ECV. From an earlier study, they found most women would recommend ECV, but many found the pain to be severe (27%) or excruciating (4%). She and her research partners wanted to know if hypnosis can reduce pain during ECV. They compared 122 standard care women with 63 having hypnosis during the ECV. They didn't observe any statistically significant differences in women's perceptions of pain. Success rates did not improve with the hypnosis group. Physicians had mixed evaluations of hypnosis; most (72%) thought hypnosis facilitated the ECV, although some did not.
Lindsey Vick: Hypnosis to turn breech babies
Lindsey Vick is a hypnotherapist and Reiki practitioner from Virginia. She referred to a study by L.E. Mehl examining using hypnosis to turn breech babies. There were 100 women in the hypnosis group and 100 women in the control group, matched for obstetrical & sociodemographic characteristics. Women in the study were between 37-40 weeks gestation. 81% of breech babies in the hypnosis group turned, vs 48% of comparison group. She started collecting data on women whose breech babies she was encouraging to turn using hypnosis. For more information, see Mehl LE. Hypnosis and conversion of the breech to the vertex presentation. Arch Fam Med. 3.10 (Oct 1994): 881-7.
JoseLo Gutierrez: Moxibustion
JoseLo is an acupuncturist in the DC area. He spoke about moxibustion for turning a breech baby. It can be used on all toes, but the little toe is the most effective. It can also be combined with massage, essential oils, and hypnosis.
Nancy Salgueiro: Chiropractic to prevent & turn breech presentations
Nancy is a prenatal and pediatric chiropractor in Ontario and is Webster's certified. She briefly explained the main approach & goals of chiropractic care: to ensure that the brain is communicating effectively with the body via the nervous system. She then discussed the bio-mechanical connections (ligaments) between the uterus and the pelvis. If there are misalignments in the pelvis, the ligaments will pull on the uterus and not give the baby as much space to grow, develop, and maneuver. Webster's Technique is a chiropractic technique that can be used for anyone. For pregnant women, it's often used for helping a breech baby turn by adjusting the sacrum and by relaxing the round ligaments in the front of the uterus. It involves no direct manipulation on the baby.
She referred to a retrospective study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics that found Webster's technique effective in helping breech presentations turn. (I think that this study has a lot of methodological flaws; I'd like to see a better designed prospective study with matched control groups. On the other hand, chiropractic care is unlikely to cause harm, so the only real downfalls of trying Webster's during pregnancy is the cost.)
Nancy recommends starting Webster's as early as 34 weeks to have time to get the pelvis balanced. Don't put it off till the last minute. You can also do this before an ECV to keep the baby from flipping back to breech after it's turned.
Adrienne Caldwell, Massage Therapy
Adrienne is a bodyworker and massage therapist certified to work with pregnant and postpartum women. After her first baby was breech, she started focusing on helping women with malpositioned babies. She agrees with Nancy to start early and ensure you have a balanced, dynamic body.
My thoughts on this session:
Women with breech babies are highly motivated--often desperate--to encourage their babies to turn. I've heard numerous stories of women who tried everything to turn their breech baby: inversions, handstands or flips in a pool, ice packs on the abdomen, music played near the pubic bone, knee-chest positioning, chiropractic, hypnosis, moxibustion, ECV, and more. The evidence for some of these modalities is weak. On the other hand, these techniques are unlikely to cause harm. I'd love to see vaginal breech birth a real option for all women, but in the meantime I'd also like to see more quality research on what really works to turn breech babies. With vaginal breech birth being out of reach of most North American women, turning the breech baby is often the last chance to have a vaginal birth.
Diane Goslin: Breech birth scenarios
Enter subtitle here
Diane Goslin, who serves a large Amish & Mennonite population in Pennsylvania, described several complicated breech scenarios she has encountered. Gail Tully helped by illustrating the situations with a doll & pelvis. Diane then invited conference participants to share their own less-than-textbook breech births--this included footling and kneeling presentations, slow labors, long second stages, babies that did not rotate to anterior, and nuchal arms.
After learning from Jane Evans the signs of a normal, physiological breech birth, it was very enlightening to learn how to recognize and respond to abnormal breech situations. After all, that's really what breech attendants really need to know. Much of the time, breech babies emerge on their own. But what if they don't? That's when a cool head, skilled hands, and the ability to think on your feet can be lifesaving.
The main things Goslin has learned over the years:
A lot of patience and a lot of monitoring. A breech is not the kind of birth where you go sleep on the couch. You need enough help in case the mom, dad, or midwives are exhausted.
Be able to picture your baby well and visualize how it's inside the mother. Become confident and competent with how the baby is positioned inside the pelvis.
Think outside the box. As much as we might love H&K, for example, we have to be willing to try whatever works to help get the baby out.
You have to be flexible and see what's working. You can't just have one formula for getting these babies out. We don't like doing manipulations, but it there is trouble, it's better than a brain-damaged or dead baby. You need to know the maneuvers and know when & how to do them.
Jane Evans commented that British midwife Mary Cronk taught her a lesson about getting a stuck object out. Mary had a messy kitchen drawer that would often get stuck because some object was wedged and in the way. Mary's husband would shut the drawer a bit, wiggle the objects around, and then open the drawer easily. The same goes with breech birth. If you can resolve the obstruction, then the baby can descend easily.
Post-conference reflections
Thoughts & reactions
It was an exhausting, exhilarating three days at the 3rd International Breech Conference in D.C., sponsored by the Coalition for Breech Birth. Our schedule was packed from early morning until late in the evening. It's amazing to see the developments since the last breech conference in Ottawa in 2009.
Three years ago, Dr. Frank Louwen and Dr. Anke Reitter had just introduced their pioneering work doing upright breech birth in a hospital setting. Today, they presented the results of 900+ breech presentations at their clinic from 2004-2011. They've done a preliminary analysis of the data and hope to publish it soon.
Three years ago, obstetrician Michael Hall of Colorado first learned about hands & knees positioning and said, "That sounds really interesting; I'd like to give it a try." Now he's doing lots of upright breeches and has found that they require much fewer maneuvers.
Three years ago, Ottawa midwives were required to transfer care for a planned breech birth, even though doing breeches was within their scope of practice. This meant that some very experienced midwives had to transfer care to less experienced physicians; they could stay in the room but could not assist with the birth in any way. This also meant that some women ended up with cesareans if no physician willing or experienced enough was on call. Just this week, Montfort Hospital agreed to waive the mandatory transfer of care policy, becoming the first hospital in North America to allow midwives to attend breech births as the primary care provider.
One of my favorite things about this conference was seeing experts in breech birth from around the world hammering out the intricacies of how a breech baby navigates through the maternal pelvis, asking questions and challenging each other on their research and outcomes, and collaboratively building a new body of knowledge.
I met some amazing obstetricians, some of whom I'll introduce later in my conference notes. They're doing vaginal breech births, VBAMCs, water births, opening birth centers, and fighting to get midwives hospital privileges. They're working to re-train other obstetricians in how to attend breech births and gradually overcoming resistance from their colleagues. I've invited some to write guest posts and hope to share those with you soon!
And of course I can't forget to mention all of the other fantastic people I met or reconnected with. There are too many to name here, but please keep in touch.
Best of all, I came back to my hotel room before heading to the airport...and there was a woman in labor! (I was rooming with Canadian midwife Gloria Lemay, and she generously offered our room to the birthing family.) I packed as quietly as I could and whispered good luck wishes on my way out. Only at a conference like this...

Vines Storage in Redlands is a premier car storage facility, offering owners their choice of secure enclosed outdoor storage or climate-controlled stalls. A state of the art 32-camera surveillance system and keypad entrance adds extra layers of security.
Regardless of whether your car is being stored for a few months, or several years, follow these steps to ease your baby back onto road and bring it up to speed.
Take a visual walk-around inspection to look for any leaking fluid. Green moisture points to a coolant issue. Red indicates power steering or transmission leakage. A dark colored fluid could be a sign of a differential leak.
Change the fluid if the car has not been driven for several months. Also, change the oil and filter and drain, flush, and refill the coolant system. If you did not use a fuel additive product, empty the gas tank and refill with fresh fuel, properly dispose of the old fuel.
Make sure the engine hoses are supple and not cracked or spongy.
Check the battery, making sure it is holding a sufficient charge and inspect the battery cables, terminals, and posts for signs of corrosion.
Change the spark plugs, and while they are removed, pour oil into the cylinders for lubrication, which will smooth the first new firing of the engine. Consider using a tool to spin the oil pump to discharge fresh oil to the bearing surfaces.
Inspect brake drums and linings, grease the hubs, and then adjust the brakes to the manufacturer's specifications.
To restart the engine, if the car has a choke, depress the throttle pedal to set it. If your car is injected, turn the key switch to "on" and pump prime for 30 seconds. Let the car gently idle until it gets up to temperature (about 180 degrees).
Listen for any out-of-the-ordinary sounds. A ticking could mean a valve adjustment is needed.
Have someone assist in a light check to make sure all lights are functioning, including the turn signal and brake lights, headlights and hazard lights.
Check air pressure in the tires and inflate as needed.
Check the brakes at low speeds in the parking area to ensure proper function before going on roadways.
When on the road, be attuned to any rattles or engine hesitation that may need investigation.
Once home, recheck the fluid levels, and repair any issues that you may have discovered.

Judgment Affirmed January 12, 1970. See 90 S. Ct. 603.
FRANK J. MURRAY, District Judge.
These are two actions, each brought under Title 42 U.S.C. § 1983, seeking injunctive relief under Title 28 U.S.C. §§ 2281, 2284 and 1343(3), and declaratory relief pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C. § 2201, against certain Massachusetts State and Town officers and employees. In Civil Action No. 69-88-M ("Barnstable case") plaintiffs seek to restrain the defendants from prosecuting, and from threatening further prosecution of them in the Massachusetts courts for violations *707 of Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 266, section 120 (trespass statute), which in pertinent part provides:
Whoever, without right, enters or remains in or upon the dwelling house, buildings, boats or improved or enclosed land, wharf or pier of another, after having been forbidden so to do by the person who has the lawful control of said premises, either directly or by notice posted thereon, shall be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars.
Civil Action No. 69-100-M ("Somerville case") was brought by plaintiff Doyle as a class action, Fed.R.Civ.P. 23, for an injunction against defendants to restrain them from threatening prosecution of plaintiff and others of the described class under the trespass statute, and for declaratory relief.
Plaintiff in the Somerville case is a recipient of aid to dependent children and a member of certain welfare rights organizations voluntary associations whose members are primarily women receiving aid for dependent children and whose objectives are to obtain full and equitable aid for each child and to call attention to inequities and indignities in the administration of the welfare law. In the Barnstable case there were included among the plaintiffs certain recipients of aid to dependent children, who are also members of welfare rights organizations, and certain male organizers and advocates of welfare rights organizations.
In the Somerville case it is agreed that plaintiff was distributing leaflets relating to "welfare rights" in the waiting room of Somerville's welfare office. She refused to cease distributing the leaflets or to leave the office when, after about four hours, requested so to do by the welfare director and the police. She requested to see her caseworker and was permitted to do so. Later she was asked to carry on her activity of distributing leaflets in the corridor of the City Hall outside the waiting room. She offered no protest and complied with the request. After being in the area outside the waiting room for a short period of time, she was told by police officers to leave or she would be arrested for trespass. Thereupon she left. Plaintiff's actions did not disrupt the normal activities of the Somerville welfare office. She was the only one engaged in handing out the leaflets, and she was accompanied by no other person. No other member of her "class" was present during the time she was engaged in distributing the leaflets. She made no threats, no loud vocal demands, and no solicitations of visitors to the welfare office in an aggressive or overbearing manner. No property was damaged, removed or disarranged.
In the Barnstable case there was a limited stipulation as to certain facts, and the court heard evidence. From the evidence offered the court finds the following facts. Plaintiffs were among a group of twenty to thirty persons who were permitted by a Barnstable police officer to enter the walfare office in the Barnstable Town Hall. No objection was offered to their presence in the waitingroom area. Within a brief period of time several of the group, at least twenty some of them carrying in their hands "petitions", so called, setting forth welfare demands moved into the office space where the clerical and secretarial employees were carrying on the duties of their employment. The presence of the group, including plaintiffs, in the relatively confined area of the small office space made it impossible for the employees to carry on normally their duties. After a short period of time during which disruption of the office functions continued, the welfare director instructed the employees subject to her supervision to leave the office. About this time plaintiff Rose, who appeared to be the leader of the group, demanded that the welfare director meet with her and a committee. At no time was there any identification of the members of the committee or specification of its number. The welfare director refused the demand, but offered to meet with plaintiff Rose and talk with her about "any grievance" she might have. Plaintiff Rose declined the offer. None of the other plaintiffs accepted the *708 offer. After the members of the group, including plaintiffs, were present in the office space for more than an hour, they were asked by the welfare director to leave the premises. During their presence in the office, there were loud voices and at times profane, obscene and abusive language emanating from the group. The normal functions of the office had suspended and, due to the disruptive actions of members of the group, could not have been carried on by the employees if they had remained and sought to do so. When members of the group, including plaintiffs, refused to leave after being requested to do so by the welfare director they were told they would be arrested if they stayed. Some left at this point and others, including plaintiffs, were arrested. Not all who remained were arrested. Those who were arrested were charged with trespass under the trespass statute.
In both cases plaintiffs seek to restrain the defendants therein from the enforcement and execution of the trespass statute on the ground of its unconstitutionality under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution of the United States, and seek a declaratory judgment that the trespass statute contravenes these Amendments. Plaintiffs' contentions are that the trespass statute is unconstitutionally vague because clauses such as "without right" and "of another" do not give them sufficient notice of the scope or limits of the statute in relation to the First Amendment and "make it unclear whether the statute applies to persons petitioning and expressing themselves on public property". They assert that no Massachusetts court has construed the statute, and claim that there is no apparent construction which would clarify the statute's vague language. They further contend that the statute is overbroad because it reaches and prohibits activities protected by the First Amendment, that is, "the right to petition and to express grievances to public officials on public property".
We begin with the observation that the trespass statute is not aimed at regulating speech or communication in any form, and with the further observation that what was involved in both Barnstable and Somerville cases was other than "pure speech". Physical presence in a public building dedicated to specific public uses other than that of a public thoroughfare, even presence for the purpose of communicating ideas, is not "pure speech". Since elements of plaintiffs' conduct as well as speech are involved here, plaintiffs' activity was subject to reasonable regulation by the State. We note that not all conduct claimed to have communicative purpose is protected as speech by the First Amendment. The Supreme Court has rejected the contention that the First and Fourteenth Amendments "afford the same kind of freedom to those who would communicate ideas by conduct * * * as these amendments afford to those who communicate ideas by pure speech". Cox v. Louisiana I, 379 U.S. 536, 555, 85 S. Ct. 453, 464, 13 L. Ed. 2d 471 (1965). See also United States v. O'Brien, 391 U.S. 367, 88 S. Ct. 1673, 20 L. Ed. 2d 672 (1968); Adderley v. Florida, 385 U.S. 39, 87 S. Ct. 242, 17 L. Ed. 2d 149 (1966). We also recognize there can be no valid blanket assertion that the state has an absolute right to regulate all forms of conduct in public buildings when the exercise of First Amendment rights is claimed. See Brown v. Louisiana, 383 U.S. 131, 86 S. Ct. 719, 15 L. Ed. 2d 637 (1966) (public library). We are aware that permissible state regulation may not reach conduct intertwined with First Amendment freedoms of speech and petition, unless the actor or actors disrupt the uses to which the public has dedicated the property, or unreasonably interfere with the right of others to enter and leave the property. See generally Niemotko v. Maryland, 340 U.S. 268, 273-289, 71 S. Ct. 325, 95 L. Ed. 267 (1951) (Frankfurter, J., concurring); Note, Symbolic Conduct, 68 Colum.L.Rev. 1091 (1968).
The issues posed by plaintiffs, however, are not whether in either case here the conduct of plaintiffs could be constitutionally regulated by the State. As *709 they present it, the question is whether state and municipal officers have the power to use the trespass statute, chapter 266, section 120, to effect an absolute prohibition of permissible First Amendment activity within the municipal buildings where plaintiffs were found. Relying upon Dombrowski v. Pfister, 380 U.S. 479, 85 S. Ct. 1116, 14 L. Ed. 2d 22 (1965), plaintiffs claim relief, injunctive or declaratory, based on their assertion that the trespass statute is on its face an unconstitutional restraint on First Amendment freedoms and denies Fourteenth Amendment due process because of vagueness or overbreadth. They claim to be entitled to such relief irrespective of the conduct of plaintiffs and others present in Barnstable, and without regard to whether plaintiffs' conduct or the conduct of others present in Barnstable could be regulated or proscribed under a narrowly drawn statute.
Before dealing separately with the cases we refer to certain preliminary matters. At the outset of the hearing plaintiffs disclaimed any attack on the trespass statute as being unconstitutionally applied in these cases. Viewing this in light of the issues presented, we understand it to mean (at least) that plaintiffs do not challenge the good-faith administration by Massachusetts of the criminal laws relating to trespass in a public building. Whatever else the disclaimer embraces, or is intended by plaintiffs to embrace, it will be considered to the extent applicable. Secondly. It should be noted that after the complaints in these actions were filed the words "buildings * * * of another" in the trespass statute were interpreted by the Supreme Judicial Court to include buildings of the State and its municipalities. Commonwealth v. Egleson, 1969 Mass.Adv.Sh. 175, 177-178, 244 N.E.2d 589, appeal dismissed, cert. denied, 395 U.S. 336, 89 S. Ct. 1793, 23 L. Ed. 2d 348 (1969). The Egelson court briefly traced the history of the trespass statute, noting that a predecessor had been applied to a criminal trespass upon public land in 1895. Because Egleson had not been decided when the events involved here took place, we cannot rely on that decision as dispositive of the vagueness claim made here. But we unhesitatingly and independently reach the Egleson result. A member of the general public shares with every other member of the general public rights to use public property established by the Constitution, laws and regulations of the State. But this right to use public property is not an unlimited right. The Constitution, laws and regulations of the State limit as well as permit individual use of public property in the larger interest of the citizens of the State. The State acting through an agency thereof is readily distinguished from any particular member of the general public, and this long-recognized distinction serves to permit a man of "common intelligence" (Cameron v. Johnson, 390 U.S. 611, 616, 88 S. Ct. 1335, 1338, 20 L. Ed. 2d 182 (1968), quoting from Connally v. General Construction Co., 269 U.S. 385, 391, 46 S. Ct. 126, 127, 70 L. Ed. 322 (1926)) to understand that the phrase "of another" in the trespass statute refers to public property.
A. The Barnstable case.
Turning now to the Barnstable case, we examine the evidence offered to this court which, presumably, will be offered in the prosecution of plaintiffs in the state court. It is not for us to determine whether the trespass statute has in fact been violated by plaintiffs, but our examination is occasioned by plaintiffs' argument that their conduct is not "hardcore conduct", that is, that this court cannot say it "would obviously be prohibited under any construction", Dombrowski v. Pfister, 380 U.S. 479, 492, 85 S. Ct. 1116, 1124, 14 L. Ed. 2d 22, of the trespass statute. We disagree.
From the evidence offered to this court, we find that there was disruptive conduct on the part of plaintiffs which impeded and prevented normal use of the welfare office for the public purposes to which it was dedicated. We find that the director was addressed in the office *710 by members of plaintiffs' group in loud and profane and obscene language threatening abuse, and that the group of about twenty persons, including plaintiffs, remained in the relatively confined working area after being requested to leave by the person in control following reasonable opportunity given them to present in a peaceful and orderly manner any grievance they might have in relation to their welfare claims. Prohibition of such conduct does not abridge constitutional liberty under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, since such actions overstep the bounds of protected freedoms of expression and petition.
Although the "hard-core" nature of plaintiffs' conduct would appear to bar plaintiffs from asserting the unconstitutional vagueness of the statute under Dombrowski, we nevertheless turn to and reject their claim that the words "without right", as used in the trespass statute, are unconstitutionally vague. The words "without right" in the context of the historical concept of trespass can only mean: without any legal right; without any right, permission or license recognized by law as permitting an entry into the area described in the statute. The words can have no other meaning. The concept legal right in the context of today's constitutional developments includes any right of the plaintiffs, individually or collectively, found in the Constitution of the United States; and, since the trespass statute on its face purports to regulate conduct only, it is susceptible of such construction. This construction of the statute appears to be in harmony with the holding of the Supreme Judicial Court in Commonwealth v. Egleson, 1969 Mass.Adv.Sh. 175, 244 N.E.2d 589, appeal dismissed, cert. denied, 395 U.S. 336, 89 S. Ct. 1793, 23 L. Ed. 2d 348 (1969). Egleson, a case involving a prosecution under the trespass statute, held the question whether defendant was in a public building "without right", under circumstances where his claim of right rested on the First Amendment, depends upon the facts of each case. 1969 Mass.Adv.Sh. at 178, 244 N.E.2d at 592.
The words "without right", when used in the context of a statute on its face proscribing only conduct, cannot be compared with the statutory words "without just cause or legal excuse" held unconstitutionally vague in Thornhill v. Alabama, 310 U.S. 88, 100, 60 S. Ct. 736, 743, 84 L. Ed. 1093 (1940). Unlike the instant case, Thornhill involved an Alabama statute, Code 1923, § 3448,[1] "purporting to license the dissemination of ideas". 310 U.S. at 97, 60 S. Ct. at 741. The Court found that "one or the other of the offenses [punishable under the statute] comprehends every practicable method whereby the facts of a labor dispute may be publicized in the vicinity of the place of business of an employer". 310 U.S. at 100, 60 S. Ct. at 743. Viewed in the context of a specific statutory prohibition of what were held to be constitutionally protected rights, the Court found that the qualifying phrase "without just cause or legal excuse" had no "ascertainable meaning either inherent or historical". Id. Here we do not have a statute purporting to bar exercise of constitutional rights. As used in the trespass statute, the words "without right" expressly save constitutional rights. In this context, the words "without *711 right" have sufficient "inherent" and "historical" meaning (id.) to permit a man of "common intelligence" (Cameron v. Johnson, 390 U.S. 611, 616, 88 S. Ct. 1335, 1338, 20 L. Ed. 2d 182 (1968), quoting from Connally v. General Construction Co., 269 U.S. 385, 391, 46 S. Ct. 126, 127, 70 L. Ed. 322 (1926)) to understand that remaining "in or upon the * * * buildings * * * of another, after having been forbidden so to do by the person who has the lawful control of said premises" without any legal right to remain may subject him to the sanctions of the trespass statute.
Plaintiffs further argue that they have standing to challenge the statute's constitutionality because, although it may be found validly applied to them, its overbreadth enables them to assert the First Amendment rights of others who may be drawn within its ambit. They rely upon Dombrowski v. Pfister, supra, 380 U.S. at 486-487, 85 S. Ct. at 1120-1122. But it is not enough merely to allege overbreadth of a statute to invoke a federal court to enjoin a pending state court proceeding on that ground, and Dombrowski is not authority to the contrary. In Cameron v. Johnson, 390 U.S. 611, 618, 88 S. Ct. 1335, 1339, 20 L. Ed. 2d 182 (1968), the Court said:
Dombrowski recognized, 380 U.S., at 483-485 [85 S.Ct., at 1119-1120] the continuing validity of the maxim that a federal district court should be slow to act "where its powers are invoked to interfere by injunction with threatened criminal prosecutions in a state court," Douglas v. City of Jeannette, 319 U.S. 157, 162 [63 S. Ct. 877, 880, 87 L. Ed. 1324]; see Zwickler v. Koota, supra [389 U.S. 241], at 253 [88 S. Ct. 391 at 398, 19 L. Ed. 2d 444]. Federal interference with a State's good-faith administration of its criminal laws "is peculiarly inconsistent with our federal framework" and a showing of "special circumstances" beyond the injury incidental to every proceeding brought lawfully and in good faith is requisite to a finding of irreparable injury sufficient to justify the extraordinary remedy of an injunction. 380 U.S., at 484 [85 S.Ct., at 1119, 1120]. We found such "special circumstances" in Dombrowski.
There has been so showing of any "special circumstances" in this case. There is no question of the good faith of defendants in prosecuting the plaintiffs in the state court under the trespass statute. There has not been any suggestion that defendants are enforcing the statute against plaintiffs only to discourage exercise of First Amendment rights with no expectation of conviction. The presumption that defendants' motive was law enforcement in prosecuting plaintiffs has not been challenged, let alone overcome, in the slightest.
Moreover, the statute is not overbroad if construed, as above noted, to allow entry on public property for the purpose of exercising First Amendment rights. Such a construction eliminates the "danger of tolerating, in the area of First Amendment freedoms, the existence of a penal statute susceptible of sweeping and improper application". N. A. A. C. P. v. Button, 371 U.S. 415, 433, 83 S. Ct. 328, 338, 9 L. Ed. 2d 405 (1963). Thus assuming plaintiffs have standing to challenge the statute on grounds of its asserted overbreadth, we have found it not to be overbroad.
B. The Somerville case.
All evidence before this court concerning the Somerville case is contained in a statement of facts agreed to by defendants. In contrast with the situation in the Barnstable case, there is no evidence of any disruption by plaintiff. There is no evidence that any function of the Somerville welfare office was in any way impeded or even briefly disrupted. Plaintiff was alone. Although the action was brought as a class action, the class action aspects of the case were dismissed during oral argument for the reason that there were no allegations or proof of the existence of others similarly situated.
The use to which the Somerville welfare office is dedicated by the *712 State and the municipality in the furtherance of the public business is more restricted than the use members of the public may make of a public amphitheater, terminal, public park, or sidewalk. Certainly the State need not permit every purported exercise of a First Amendment freedom to take place there. Plaintiff, however, was not publicizing a protest unconnected with the welfare office; what she did can be characterized as speech and conduct incidental to formulating a petition for redress of a grievance having its root in the functions of the welfare office and likely having a particular affect on most members of the general public who would visit that office. The merit, or lack of merit, of her petition for redress of grievance has nothing to do with the issue before the court.
No decision of the Supreme Court appears to directly control the situation presented here. We believe, however, that the First Amendment guarantees of speech and petition, as articulated and applied in cases such as Brown v. Louisiana, 383 U.S. 131, 86 S. Ct. 719, 15 L. Ed. 2d 637 (1966) (sit-in in public library), and Edwards v. South Carolina, 372 U.S. 229, 83 S. Ct. 680, 9 L. Ed. 2d 697 (1963) (picketing on state house grounds), permit a strong argument to be made that plaintiff, in the circumstances described here, was upon public property "with right" within the meaning of the trespass statute.
We need not decide that issue, however, because we have found the trespass statute constitutional and we do not sit as a three-judge court to hear a claim that a constitutional statute has been or may be erroneously applied. Phillips v. United States, 312 U.S. 246, 61 S. Ct. 480, 85 L. Ed. 800 (1941); Landry v. Daley, 288 F. Supp. 194 (N.D. Ill.1968). Moreover, plaintiff has expressly disclaimed an attack on the statute as applied. Thus nothing remains for disposition before the single judge who originally drew this action.
The relief requested in each case was that we declare the trespass statute unconstitutional. We have not been asked to make any other declaration. Therefore, it is ordered that judgment in both actions shall enter for the defendants.
[1] The statute read as follows:
Loitering or picketing forbidden. Any person or persons, who, without a just cause or legal excuse therefor, go near to or loiter about the premises or place of business of any other person, firm, corporation, or association of people, engaged in a lawful business, for the purpose, or with intent of influencing, or inducing other persons not to trade with, buy from, sell to, have business dealings with, or be employed by such persons, firm, corporation, or association, or who picket the works or place of business of such other persons, firms, corporations, or associations of persons, for the purpose of hindering, delaying, or interfering with or injuring any lawful business or enterprise of another, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; but nothing herein shall prevent any person from soliciting trade or business for a competitive business.
