Governor wins legal review in Tempura secrets battle
(CNS): The governor has won the first round in his legal fight to keep details of a discredited internal police investigation secret. His office confirmed Tuesday that Justice Sir Alan Moses had stayed the release ofa document that Information Commissioner Jennifer Dilbert had directed should be given to an FOI applicant. The request was for a copy of a report relating to a complaint filed by Martin Bridger (left), the lead investigator on the ill-fated operation into potential police corruption. However, the governor is fighting to keep the report under wraps and out of the public domain. As a result, his office is the first government entity to attempt to overturn one of Dilbert's decisions through the courts.
The British judge has approved the governor's application for judicial review and the next step is to set a date for the substantive hearing, but in the meantime the report remains secret.
The document being sought by the applicant is a review of a complaint filed by Bridger, which cost the public purse around $300,000 to produce. Bridger has seen the document relating to his complaint, which was not upheld, but he is not able to release it as he was bound by confidentiality.
However, some of his complaints were reported in the UK Press and the former Scotland Yard cop's main gripe was his investigation was prematurely ended by the authorities in Cayman in what he claims amounted to an orchestrated cover-up of errors and bad decisions by the powers that be.
When a member of the public filed an FOI for this report it was refused. However, Dilbert in her decision overturned that denial and ordered the office to release the report. The governor then filed an application for a judicial review on the 45 day deadline, which has now been granted.
Given the efforts that the UK representative is making to in order to keep the content of the report secret, it is unlikely that the judicial review hearing will be open to the public.

lol… his office is the first government entity and will be afterwards… typical Foreign Office!
What says he to the WEST BAY ROAD closure??? Should we take that to COURT?
Lori Buchanan says:
Another look at bureaucracy…..and the many regulations that are put in place, yet not adhered to….
Good job Jennifer!!! Please continue to do your job and let NO man comprise your values!!!
For the Governor to be so hardlined concerning this matter, it goes to show what is really being hidden from the CI public.
REAAAALLLL JOKERS!!!!!!!
I can't wait forMAY 22nd!!!!……I hope his name on a ballot.
13.26..what exactly, like the rest of us do you actually know or not know? We all know nothing until the court rules one way or another. Of course we all have views if we want that in the open or not, however that this Governor wants the court to stop the publishing means in my mind that either:
1.It will be very damaging to Cayman and UK to release that report and give Bermuda and the likes a chance to go one step ahead
2. Possibly that the UK government would be very embarrassed
3. That publication now may undermine other serious cases going on.
We do not know, we will have to wait for the judge to decide. This Governor is for openess and transparency in general as he has shown on many occasions. So you have to bet there is something pretty serious in there. I do not beleive for one minute that this is about Mrs. Dilbert. On the contrary I think the Governor probably holds her in high regard for her efforts despite Mac and Co's efforts to stymie her.
Insider says:
You got point 2 spot on.
This farce was all overseen by Colin Roberts when he was OT Director.
Guess what very sensitive job Mr Roberts is scheduled to take up in 2014? He's currently Governor Designate of the Falkland Islands.
Don't somehow think HMG is very keen on the idea of documents beingmade public that might raise questions about his competence and possibly even his respect for human rights.
The outcome was always obvious. I have a great deal of respect for Mrs Dilbert, but the poor judgment shown in this decision really undermined her credibility.
"Poor judgment?" Would you care to be more specific?
You're clearly the person who's made these kind of allegations before without backing them up. Why not tell us what the problem is?
I smell a big fat Troll here.
The original opinion had more holes in it than a piece of Swiss cheese. The best place to start? Well probably that it was overturned by judicial review . . .
Specifically? Either give us the full argument or shut XXX up.
Please Plead Me says:
Any decent lawyer on island will tell you that the Dilbert opinion on this request was far below her usual high standards. It was pretty clear to anyone with experience of FOI type issues that the Governor had a valid reason not to provide, aside from the obvious fact that the Law does not apply to the Governor so there was never any jurisdiction in the first place.
Brilliant Photo CNS!!
Headline should be:
"Drowning Man saved by Inflatable Judge"
Just in fun, have greatest respect for the Governor for doing things the legal way.
Sadly Mr Bridger and his rubber ring are not invited to the judicial review, which (as accurately predicted in the story) the Governor is insisting must be closed to press and public.
However, I understand John Evans (who was the original applicant) has not only been formally served with a copy of the ruling on Lord Justice Moses' specific instructions and but also plans to attend the hearing.
If the governor is doing things the legal way, why not go legal with the road closure too. We are the victims.
I suspect, as with other deals, if anything illegal was going on with the road, he would have called it..

Launch Angels, with new leader, narrows focus to university alumni funds
Baker Memorial Library at Dartmouth College.
Investing Yale UNH Alumni universities Angel Investing Shereen Shermak Launch Angels Dartmouth David Chang Startups Tom Kuegler
Investment management startup Launch Angels was founded around an interesting idea: it could handle behind-the-scenes work for people who wanted to pool their money, solving the paperwork headaches that might keep new investors from taking the plunge.
So far, the idea has shown limited success. With a new chief executive aboard, the company is now betting that it can find a fertile market by focusing on groups of college alumni.
Thursday, Launch Angels says it is raising three new investment funds for investors and entrepreneurs with ties to Yale, Dartmouth, and the University of New Hampshire. The new funds piggyback on the launch earlier this year of the first Green D Angels fund, which raised $1.5 million from 44 Dartmouth alums and has already invested in 10 companies.
"You can feel when something really works and it catches on. And anytime you talk to anybody around this concept, their instant feedback is `Wow, that really makes sense,'" said Tom Kuegler, Launch Angels' interim CEO. "I've been in the startup world way too long — 20-some years — and when you feel that something works, you just have to bet on it."
The Yale- and UNH-focused funds will target about $1 million for their initial investment pools, similar to the first Green D Angels fund, Kuegler said. The second Green D Angels fund is expected to expand, and is targeting about $5 million to $7 million, he said.
The investors will be alumni of the individual schools, and the funds will focus on investing in companies with some ties to those universities too, Kuegler said.
"That could be intellectual property, if it comes out of a lab at Dartmouth or a lab at UNH. It could be a Harvard and a Dartmouth alum who are both 45-year-old guys on the West Coast — that's great. But it has to be alums helping alums," he said.
Launch Angels' alumni funds are not affiliated with the universities and don't accept investment checks from the schools, Kuegler said. Launch Angels has communicated with the schools in question and let them know it's only trying to build connections between alumni, not use any of their trademarks or other property, he said.
"It'd be very hard for me to see how any university could jump up and down and say that's a bad idea," he said.
This new twist for Launch Angels follows a period of trial and error as it sought to apply its model to the increasingly popular world of private-company investment, particularly amid loosened investment restrictions through the federal JOBS Act and equity crowdfunding services like AngelList.
Launch Angels previously raised a roughly $1 million investment fund from veterans of Where, a Boston-based digital advertising company that was acquired by eBay in 2011 for $135 million. Former Launch Angels CEO Shereen Shermak had strong ties to that group through her husband, former Where vice president David Chang.
Launch Angels later tried to raise funds that would back women-led companies or startups helmed by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender entrepreneurs. Those funds, however, did not find enough investors to move forward.
Shermak, who was previously co-founder of foreign exchange trading startup BuysideFX, left Launch Angels in February after the Where Angels fund had invested all of its money and is working on a new venture that hasn't been publicly unveiled, she said in an e-mail.
"In many ways Launch Angels is a startup, so you learn, you pivot, and you learn," Kuegler said. "What you learn is you need a strong affiliation to pull this off. And there are a lot of affiliations in the world but probably short of religion, there's probably no stronger affiliation than what people have to their college."
Launch Angels makes money through a traditional venture capital fee structure — 2 percent of the invested capital and 20 percent of any returns. The split that Launch Angels takes for its services can vary with each fund, Kuegler said, with the balance going to lead investors who will field the bulk of the investment pool from other alumni.

Surviving Abuse and Floods
First I Had to Survive My Husband Stabbing Me 42 Times. Then I Had to Survive the Louisiana Floods.
Deborah Harris was just getting her life back on track when horror struck for a second time in one year.
by LORENA O'NEIL
This story contains extended descriptions of graphic violence.
Around 8 p.m. on August 13, 2016, Deborah Harris woke up and realized her mattress was wet. That's when her 17-year-old son Daniel rushed in shouting, "Mama, we gotta get you out!"
Flood water was pouring into their Baton Rouge home so quickly that Daniel and her oldest son Nathan, 20, had to think fast. Harris can't get around without a walker and a cane, so they scooped her up and carried her into the back of a truck. The rest of the family and friends living with them piled in—nine in total, plus the family's four dogs.
But water gushed around the truck at speeds they couldn't fathom, flooding the engine and preventing their escape. They were stranded in front of their house, watching as the water kept rising. Daniel and Nathan rushed to rescue their three cats from the attic while Harris frantically dialed 911 over and over and over.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana after the mid-August floods
Harris' chest and body ached. She had taken her medications and had tried to go to bed early to alleviate the pain she was feeling that night—a familiar, recurring throb she'd had to fight for the past year.
She watched, helpless, as her home was destroyed. She couldn't believe this was happening again.
Harris, 41, married Anthony McKinney almost exactly two years ago. "When I first met him, he was just the sweetest, charming-est person," she remembers.
As their first anniversary approached, McKinney, 46, started picking fights with Harris' three sons. There were small ones about how cold to keep the air conditioning and big ones, like a fist fight with Daniel. Harris' own arguments with McKinney—an attempt to protect and defend her children—intensified; she says he pulled a gun on her on two different occasions, each time with her 13-year-old son, Johnathan, in the room.
"I ignored that sign," she says, shaking her head. And then McKinney's behavior escalated after Harris started cleaning office buildings to support the family. "He wasn't happy about that. He didn't want me to work."
McKinney became increasingly controlling. If Harris combed her hair before walking to the store, he would insist on joining, angry at the idea that she might be visiting another man.
"It's like I was on a rollercoaster," she whispers, "and it wasn't stopping."
"I WOKE BACK UP AND HE WAS STILL STABBING ME."
On September 22, 2015, an otherwise normal day, Harris' boss dropped her off at her house after work. McKinney was waiting outside, smoking a cigarette and fuming that she'd come home later than expected. "He said, Where the fuck have you been, you can't call me?" she recalls. "He said, Bitch, I'll kill you."
As McKinney put his key in the door, Harris tried to take it away. It broke inside the lock. Hearing her son Johnathan crying inside, she rushed to get into the house—and then she heard a whoosh as a deadbolt flew over her head.
"I immediately called the police," says Harris. "First of all, you threaten to kill me. Second of all, you threw this lock at me. I'm not going to let you keep sliding."
McKinney was arrested that day for domestic abuse battery, child endangerment, and aggravated assault. Harris packed up his clothes and made plans to move to a domestic violence shelter.
Just three days later, McKinney was given a total bail of $1,500 and was able to get out with a bond of $210—that's it. Harris was terrified when she received a call from the courthouse saying her abuser had been legally released.

The next afternoon, at 3:10 p.m., McKinney started banging loudly on the door. Harris ran into the bathroom and called 911. McKinney kicked the door down, pulled out a knife, and started stabbing her.
He yelled "You want to play games? You gonna see!" as he attacked. He knocked her unconscious with the blunt edge of a knife, leaving a cross-shaped mark between her eyebrows.
"I woke back up and he was still stabbing me," she says, telling the story slowly and methodically. But McKinney's knife got lodged in the bone near her elbow and the handle snapped off. He left to go look for another knife.
Harris says she took that opportunity to spring into action, pulling the blade out of her elbow and running out of the bathroom to escape. She started reciting Psalm 23 in her head, "The Lord is my shepherd," as she felt her body going numb.
McKinney pounced. He stabbed her again on her arm, her hip, her thigh—anywhere he could land his blade. "You trying to leave me?" he asked. She kicked him. She fought back. But she also thought about how she was never going to see her children again.
Less than two minutes after McKinney broke in, three police officers pulled up with flashing lights and blaring sirens. One policeman recalls McKinney trying to flee and then running back inside the house. Colonel Dustin Strickland was approaching the carport door when, according to the police report, he heard a "blood-curdling scream for help."
SHE STARTED RECITING PSALM 23 IN HER HEAD, "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD," AS SHE FELT HER BODY GOING NUMB.
He ran in and immediately saw someone coming at him, a 12-inch-long kitchen knife covered in blood whizzing by his face. Strickland instructed McKinney to drop the knife—instead, McKinney doubled back into the hallway, dove onto Harris, who was laying in a fetal position, and continued to stab her.
"Drop it!" screamed Strickland, before shooting him four times.
Finally McKinney let go of the black-handled knife as he slumped to the floor and died.
Harris was stabbed 42 times in total—on her left arm, her chest, her back, her hip, her stomach, her thigh, and her face. She lost three pints of blood and her heart stopped multiple times in the hospital.
"I started crying," a then-19-year-old Nathan remembers of seeing his mother, bloodied and bandaged on a hospital bed. As her next of kin, he had to be in charge of making all of Harris' medical decisions. He listened to what the doctors recommended, which was to put his mother on life support. She remained on a ventilator for three and half weeks.
When Harris finally woke up last October, she began a long period of physical and emotional recovery.
Harris felt conflicted about McKinney's death—about the way he died but also lingering trauma from such horrific abuse at the hands of someone she loved. "I didn't know what emotions to really have," she says. "This is the man I loved. How could he do this to me? Evidently, he didn't really love me."
Harris outside the hotel near New Orleans where she's currently living
For many months, Harris blamed herself, wondering why she hadn't paid attention to the warning signs, or hadn't left him earlier. She still feels like some members of his family blame her for his death.
Nearly a year later, she has a metal plate in her chest, and the wounds near her spine and her hip have weakened her ability to walk. She has difficulty breathing and sleeping, and in March she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.
But Harris is, above all, a survivor. She says her children motivate her to keep fighting—for her health, for her life, and for her home. The Baton Rouge flooding has been tough on her psychological state; she's since started two new types of medication to battle her depression, which she says was threatening to swallow her up completely.
"It's just hard to get started over and over again," she says from the motel near New Orleans where she currently lives. And yet, she's in an optimistic mood. On August 25, her first grandson, Zechariah, was born.

"I'm a proud Mimi and a proud Mommy," she says, beaming about Nathan starting at Louisiana State University next year.
Harris has made plans to relocate with Johnathan to Kansas to live with a family friend, and hopes to become a domestic violence advocate for other survivors. Despite her struggles, she's tried to motivate other women at the disaster relief shelters, sharing her own story of resilience. As she tells people what happened to her, she proudly shows off her scars—emblems of her strength, of her powerful will to live.
"When you see that first sign, it's time to get out," Harris says. "Grab your bag, get in your car, leave, and don't come back. When a person shows you who they are, believe them."
Special thanks to Save the Children for their assistance in sourcing this story, and for outfitting Harris' family with items like diapers and baby blankets after they lost everything in the flood.
If you or someone you know is being abused, you can seek anonymous, confidential help at the National Domestic Violence hotline: 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE).
Domestic violence survivors have been left particularly vulnerable after the Louisiana floods. You can donate to the Louisiana Domestic Violence Disaster Relief fund here or contribute to organization aiding Louisiana flood victims like Save the Children and American Red Cross.
This woman was lucky to survive this abuse. if he hits you once, he will again. There is a Domestic Violence Shelter in every ton. There you will find answers, assistance, woman who understand who you have been through. Don't stay because you think no one cares. We do care and are here to help.

Marcus Rashford's message has become a movement, and Liverpool's support is crucial
Wake-up with Liverpool.com: Manchester United's Marcus Rashford continues to be a force for good
Oliver ConnollyStaff Writer
What Marcus Rashford is doing is incredible.
By continuing to push to ensure the poorest children in the country do not go hungry outside of term time, by not stopping once he was awarded a token honour , by leaning into a partizan political landscape, by not viewing better as good enough, he has shifted from a footballer with a message to the head of a movement.
And it is a righteous movement -- not about left or right; not even about politics. It is about basic decency and humanity.
Rashford will be the first Manchester United player to receive a standing ovation from the Kop or Gwladys Street End, has become a common refrain in light of Rashford's work. That's probably true. He certainly should receive adulation up and down the country for his work, for using his platform and power to feed the hungry rather than just sell shoes.
"I don't know him but even I am proud of him," Jurgen Klopp said on Friday. "And he plays for United which makes it really tricky!"
Non-football watchers enjoy painting the football-enjoying community as a monolith. The reality is that little if anything brings football supporters from their various backgrounds together — Rashford is one of the few forces who had been able to direct the power of football tribalism towards being a force for good.
"I'm signing off with a feeling a pride tonight," Rashford tweeted on Friday night. "The superstars of this nation lie in local communities. Even after taking the biggest hits you have wrapped your arms around your community to catch children as they fell." The human heart can soar and ache all at once. A community's heart can, too.
The shame of not having football fans in the stands at present is not only that supporters are unable to give Rashford a well-earned round of applause, but that by there being distance -- by this being a screen-based campaign -- it saps the movement of some of its power and voice.
Part of the excellence of Rashford's latest message has been in its framing. It is not he vs. a political party. It is about communities working together to overcome innate injustice within our society. Where others have failed to step up, he has led.
What a shame it is then that he's unable to take his movement to the terraces — yet. Not so that he can hear his name sung from Southampton to Newcastle, but so that the match-going public can offer a real, tangible benefit. Be it through the force of their collective message or the generosity of programs like Fans Supporting Food Banks.
Here is a time where being treated as a monolith would have been OK. Where supporters across the country would have been able to rally behind Rashford's movement and press for actual change. As it is, Rashford is leading a group of community leaders -- each a representation of the selfishness that is out there once you get beyond the wall of social media.
As Klopp said on Friday: "It is a bit of a shame that he has to do it but it is wonderful as well."
Who should start tonight? Minamino in? Bobby out? Mark Wakefield and I offered our team selections ahead of tonight's game.

Matt Slater's piece on a potential European Super League is excellent. As has been true all along, "this means more" is nonsense; the ownership's guiding star what pays more?

History: L. 2000, ch. 142, § 72; July 1, 2001.
Revisor's Note:
Former section 84-9-501 was repealed by L. 2000, ch. 142, § 155 and the number reassigned to the current text.
KANSAS COMMENT, 1996
This section, which does not vary from the 1995 Official Text, has not been amended since 1972.
Subsection (1). The subsection gives the secured party the rights provided under Part 5 (84-9-501 through 84-9-507) and, except as limited by subsection (3), those provided in the security agreement. Thus, the creditor and debtor are given great latitude and need to take care in defining "default" in the security agreement. Default is not a defined term in the Uniform Commercial Code, so without definition "default" would include only failure to pay. Other events, such as failure to insure the collateral, refusal to allow inspection of the collateral, failure to pay taxes or insurance, moving or selling the collateral without permission, death or insolvency of the debtor, failure of the debtor to make payments to other creditors, or whenever the secured party "deems itself insecure" should be considered for the security agreement. See 84-1-208. The only limit on the "insecurity" clause is the creditor's subjective "good faith." A common practice is to state the business conditions upon which the loan is conditioned as warranties, and provide that any breach of those conditions is a default. Moreover, the typical security agreement (as well as the accompanying promissory note) may contain an "acceleration clause" which provides that upon the happening of an event of default the entire unpaid balance becomes due and owing. See 84-1-208 and 84-3-108(1)(b). See Jensen v. State Bank of Allison, 518 F.2d 1 (8th Cir. 1975) for an example of an insecurity/acceleration clause in action. Although Article 9 is the primary source of law governing default by a commercial or agricultural debtor, special protections are given to consumer debtors under the Kansas Uniform Consumer Credit Code. In case of conflict between the two statutes, the UCCC controls. See 84-9-203(4). In particular, K.S.A. 16a-5-109 provides an objective definition of "default" in secured transactions where the credit is used for personal, family or household purposes. (See K.S.A. 16a-1-301(10), (11), (12) and (13) for the scope of the Kansas UCCC.) The test under the UCCC is whether the consumer has failed to make a required payment or whether "the prospect of payment, performance, or realization of collateral is significantly impaired." Moreover, the burden is on the creditor to prove "significant impairment." As a practical matter, this means that broad insecurity and acceleration clauses, while still available for commercial or agricultural transactions, are limited where consumer transactions are involved. However, there is nothing in this subsection or the Kansas UCCC which prohibits creditors from attempting to define "significant impairment" in the security agreement itself. In fact, this subsection invites such a delineation.
Under the second and last sentences of this subsection, as well as subsection (2), the rights and remedies of the secured party are cumulative. Although the subsection indicates that the creditor could move against the collateral, obtain a personal judgment against the debtor, pursue any surety, or seek to enforce the obligation through any other means, in any order, and it is clear that the drafters intended great flexibility and an elimination of any election of remedies approach, there are currently two limitations under Kansas law to the general rule of cumulative remedies. First, a Kansas bankruptcy decision, In re Wilson, 390 F. Supp. 1121 (D. Kan. 1975), holds that failure of a secured lender to seek judicial enforcement of an Article 9 security interest at the time it obtained a personal judgment against the debtor constituted an impermissible attempt to split a cause of action. Therefore, the lender was not allowed to seek judicial foreclosure on its secured claim when the debtor later filed bankruptcy. This is consistent with precode case, Kearny v. Nunn, 156 K. 563, 134 P.2d 635 (1943), which held an action to foreclose the lien barred a latter action on the note. A later Tenth Circuit decision, In re Hill, 648 F.2d 1282 (10th Cir. 1981) (applying Colorado law), appears to reject the reasoning in Wilson. It would appear that Kansas is in a very small minority holding that the judicial actions must be brought together. See White & Summers Practitioner Treatise at § 34-4.
The second possible limitation is the doctrine of equitable marshalling, under which a senior lien claimant must resort first to assets not subject to a junior lien so as to avoid inequity. The Kansas courts have in the past approved this doctrine as a limit on the senior secured creditor (see, e.g., Rundquist v. O'Leary, 184 K. 496, 337 P.2d 1017 (1959)), and both 84-1-103 and Official Comment 3 to 84-9-311 suggest that it could be incorporated into Article 9 transactions.
Subsection (2). This subsection, which is simply a cross reference to the rest of part 5 and 84-9-207, is the source of most of the litigation on repossession or foreclosure, and only those rights specified in 84-9-501(3) may be waived. Since the debtor has normally lost both the money and the collateral after default, it is important the secured party pay particular attention to the required notices and the rules regarding disposition of the collateral.
Subsection (3). This subsection is intended to prevent the secured party from overreaching in the security agreement. The debtor's rights as set forth in Part 5 of Article 9 (as well as the Kansas UCCC) are given as a matter of public policy; they cannot be waived in the original documents. Note that the list of non-waivable items does not include repossession free from breach of the peace, as provided in 84-9-503. This omission should be treated as either a legislative oversight or a recognition that it would be stating the obvious to provide that a debtor cannot agree in the security agreement to a bashing down of the debtor's home door or to burglary to get the piano following default. Although the debtor's rights cannot be waived in the security agreement, the agreement "may determine the standards by which the fulfillment of these rights and duties is to be measured if such standards are not manifestly unreasonable." For example, the security agreement could provide a reasonable time and conditions under which foreclosure sale would take place, thus filling out the broad "commercially reasonable" requirement of 84-9-504. Moreover, 84-9-504 and 84-9-505 contain special language which allows the debtor to waive certain foreclosure rights after default, even though this cannot be done in the original security agreement.
Subsection (4). This subsection is an application of the cumulative remedies doctrine set forth in subsection (1). It allows proceedings against the personal property, if the agreement covers both real estate and personalty. Alternatively, the secured party may proceed against both the real and the personal property under the applicable real estate security law. Prior Kansas law was probably in accord. See Liberty Savings & Loan Ass'n v. Jones, 143 K. 422, 54 P.2d 937 (1936), where a note was secured by both real estate and chattel mortgages, and the court held that the foreclosure was one cause of action; the trial court's order to sell the real estate first was held valid. In Mfg. Co. v. Lewis, 30 K. 541, 1 P. 812 (1883), the court said that the mortgagee could foreclose on the chattels and later foreclose on the land.
Subsection (5). Subsection (5) makes clear that any judgment lien which the secured party acquires against the collateral is in effect a continuation of the original perfected security interest; the lien relates back to the date of perfection of the security interest. In other words, if the secured party chooses not to enforce the security interest under Article 9, but pursuant to a judgment, the trustee cannot treat the creditor as unsecured with respect to the collateral or treat it as a preference. However, seizure of other assets not covered by a prior perfected security interest could be upset by the trustee under § 547 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 547).
The second sentence of this subsection provides that a judicial sale is a foreclosure of a security interest to which the requirements of Part 5 do not apply. Pre-UCC Kansas case law was in accord, holding that the chattel mortgage foreclosure sale is a judicial sale under the supervision of the court, and no compliance with the notice requirements of former K.S.A. 58-308 was necessary. Liberty Savings & Loan Ass'n v. Jones, 143 K. 422, 54 P.2d 937 (1936). See also K.S.A. 60-1006, which establishes a procedure by which the Article 9 secured creditor may foreclose and obtain a judgment in replevin and a deficiency judgment in personam against the debtor.

Invective Against Swans
"Invective Against Swans" is a poem by Wallace Stevens from his first book of poetry, Harmonium (1923).
The soul, O ganders, flies beyond the parks
And far beyond the discords of the wind.
A bronze rain from the sun descending marks
The death of summer, which that time endures
Like one who scrawls a listless testament
Of golden quirks and Paphian caricatures,
Bequeathing your white feathers to the moon
And giving your bland motions to the air.
Behold, already on the long parades
The crows anoint the statues with their dirt.
And the soul, O ganders, being lonely, flies
Beyond your chilly chariots, to the skies.
1 Analysis
1.1 Stevens's ironic mode
1.2 Re-imagining the natural world
2 Publication history
AnalysisEdit
Stevens's ironic modeEdit
It has been observed that Stevens has two modes. The first mode is a pure and orgiastic—Dionysian—celebration of life while the second is that of the malign and ironic observer. "Invective against Swans" can be classified as belonging to the latter. David Herd plausibly locates the insult at an abstract level.
One of the tasks Modernist poets set themselves, probably the chief task, was to resuscitate the all but clapped-out diction of English-language poetry. It was for this reason Wallace Stevens wrote his "Invective Against Swans"....Stevens wanted people to understand that the language of poetry (as it was passed down to him by his Victorian predecessors), with its over-dependence on swans and clouds, was all but obsolete, capable only of expressing a certain poetical mood—a mood of burdened over-sensitivity.[1]
Arguably then, the poem is insulting not swans and clouds but rather both worn-out Victorian diction and the philosophical/poetic impulse to escape nature, the latter through that decrepit vehicle of the soul which figures in Platonic and Christian conceptions of immortality and a transcendent world. There is no reason to think that Stevens was comfortable in any such vehicle. In 1902 the 22-year-old Stevens enters in his journal, "An old argument with me is that the true religious force in the world is not the church but the world itself." In Adagia he writes, "After one has abandoned a belief in god, poetry is that essence which takes its place as life's redemption."[1] See also "A High-Toned Old Christian Woman".
Re-imagining the natural worldEdit
The poem may be saying that the poet should re-imagine the natural world, neither escaping to Plato's world of Forms or the Christian heaven, nor relying on Victorian imagination. "Invective against Swans" perhaps "shows" how to do that re-imagining. Its allusion to Paphos, the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite—embodiment of the values of love, sex, and beauty—doesn't bespeak an attitude that exults in slipping "the surly bonds of Earth." Instead it expresses summer's end in a pungently non-Victorian way.
Publication historyEdit
"Invective Against Swans" was first published in Harmonium, prior to 1923 and is therefore in the public domain.[2]

The Tale of Stone Soup
March Madness means all attention goes to basketball and brackets, and while we love a good college game as much as the next person we think it's about time Shakespeare got in on the bracket fun too.
if you love brackets
if you love Shakespeare
or maybe if you are simply ready for a little madness
we bring you
the 2016 ELIZABETHAN GAMES
join the judges (or at least meet them)
Christina Casano: A Chicago based theater artist, Christina earned a BA in Theatre from Miami University and completed the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Summer Professional Training Program. Selected works include Belladonna Luna Sonata and These Saints Will Burn (The Plagiarists), Twelfth Night (CBD), Milk Like Sugar (The Yard + Raven Theatre), Owners (ITP), Macbeth and Angels in America (Miami University). She is a company member with The Plagiarists where she serves as the Resident Stage Manager, and is a company member with Crowded Bookshelf Dramatics. She writes for and is the assistant editor of Girls in Capes, a blog dedicated to women and minorities in geek and pop culture. As a Shakespearean actor, she has only played male roles. A self-proclaimed Slytherin, she was sorted into Gryffindor by Pottermore.
Erin Dowdy: Dowdy can still recite Macbeth's Witches' lines in her sleep and counts Richard III in her top 10 favorite things to read. She didn't know how funny Hamlet really was until she saw Mark Rylance play the Danish Prince at The Globe in 2000. She thanks Julia Stemper for introducing her to the soap opera King John when Dowdy directed the staged reading for Stone Soup in Chicago in 2013.
Emily Green: Emily has acted, directed and studied Shakespeare. She's also done a bit of newer work, so she has perspective. Impressed by blood, she is going into the judging with a keen eye for final death count - good luck comedies, amiright? Emily first joined Stone Soup on tour in 2015 when she played Dogberry/Hero in Much Ado About Nothing. She holds a BFA from Millikin University and and MFA from the University of Florida.
Ryan Nelson: Ryan is founder of the Shakespeare Reading Group (SRG). Since 2010, the SRG has led more than 175 readings of Shakespeare and other Renaissance plays in local libraries across southern Illinois. He obtained a master's degree in English Literature from Southern Illinois University in 2003.
Julia Stemper: Artistic Director of Stone Soup Shakespeare, she counts cheering on the SIU Salukis during March Madness even when they didn't make round 1 as some of the best non-theater memories ever and thus is delighted to finally have the Elizabethan Games to take part in. While true The Tempest is her favorite play in the canon she holds soft spots for...well...almost every one of them (from the opening speech of Henry V to the first meeting of Romeo and Juliet to Launce and is dog in The Two Gentlemen of Verona) so it truly is anyone's game!


What is the Thyroid Program?
Seattle Children's Thyroid Program provides comprehensive, team-based care for children and adolescents up to age 21 with thyroid conditions. Such conditions include thyroid nodules, too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism), too little thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) and thyroid cancer.
The thyroid is an organ in the neck that affects your child's growth and development because it makes hormones that control metabolism and affect growing cells. If your child has a thyroid condition, it is important to work with pediatric specialists who understand the best ways to diagnose and treat these conditions in young people who are still growing and developing.
Seattle Children's Thyroid Program brings pediatric specialists together to tailor care to your child, whether your child needs medicine, a biopsy, surgery or other treatment.
How will the Thyroid Program meet my needs?
Seattle Children's Thyroid Program is the only multidisciplinary program in the Pacific Northwest to specialize in children and teens with thyroid conditions.
The program brings together experts from endocrinology, otolaryngology, general surgery, oncology and other fields to evaluate and address your child's healthcare needs.
We work as a team, bringing a wealth of combined experience to your child's care. We talk with each other and with you to coordinate your child's diagnosis and treatment and connect you with the right specialists.
Many childhood thyroid conditions can be diagnosed and treated with medicine by Seattle Children's endocrinologists, without any need for surgery. Our Endocrinology Program is one of the top pediatric programs in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report.
If your child needs surgery, our otolaryngologists who are head and neck surgeons and our general surgeons have the special training and experience to perform surgery for infants, children and teens. We do many thyroid surgeries each year and are considered a high-volume surgical center.
For children with thyroid cancer, Seattle Children's oncologists and radiologists offer the most advanced treatment options. Our Cancer Center ranks among the best in the nation year after year.
If your child has a thyroid nodule or thyroid mass, your child might need a biopsy (cell or tissue sample) to check for cancer. We get your child in quickly. For most children, we can do a physical exam and a fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the same clinic visit. Using a fine-needle procedure to draw up a sample is not as invasive as cutting into the skin and avoids the need for general anesthesia. Watch the video about the procedure.
We numb the area using a needle-free device called a J-tip that pushes medicine (buffered lidocaine) into your child's skin with a strong puff of air. Then we use a very thin needle (thinner than for a blood draw) to take a sample of cells. We use ultrasound to guide the needle to the right place.
You and your child are in control – if your child feels too nervous about being awake during the biopsy, we schedule a biopsy under general anesthesia (so your child is unconscious) instead.
Research on fine-needle aspiration biopsies for thyroid conditions shows our results for children and adolescents are as accurate as the results of doctors doing these biopsies for adults.
Surgery to remove the thyroid can disturb blood flow to the parathyroid glands, leading to low levels of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia). This needs treatment and can extend a child's hospital stay after surgery. A study at Seattle Children's showed our patients are ready to leave the hospital sooner, compared to children in other studies, because of our methods to carefully manage low calcium.
Dr. Marguerite T. Parisi has been involved in many studies on the use of radioactive iodine (radioiodine, or I-131) therapy for overactive thyroid. She is part of the American Thyroid Association Pediatric Guidelines Committee. The committee develops guidelines to help doctors decide on the best care for children with specific thyroid conditions.
If you would like a referral to the Thyroid Program, talk to your primary care provider.
Please call Endocrinology at 206-987-2640 to schedule an appointment if your child has any other thyroid concern.
If you already have an appointment with Otolaryngology, learn more about how to prepare.
