RAILWAY Union ended Ards' incredible run in hockey's women's National Indoor Hockey Trophy as they ran up a 6-1 final success over the eight in-a-row chasing Ulster side.
In so doing, they won the crown for the first time since 2010 and assured themselves of a place in Europe in 2020.
Orla Fox was hugely influential throughout and made her presence felt in a dream start. Inside 25 seconds, she burst forward down the right boards, slipping under her arm to Isobel Joyce who finished off.
In the fifth minute, Fox again was on the rampage, breaking in between a couple of tackles and drawing a foul for their first corner. She slotted her shot for a 2-0 lead.
And it got even better for Railway when Lily Lloyd wriggled free and tested Naomi McKnight. The goalkeeper saved but Anna May When was on hand to rebound for 3-0 in the seventh minute.
Francesca Brown got one back for Ards but Railway raced away in the second half with further goals from Whelan and twins Isobel and Cecelia Joyce.


As I look forward to Memorial Day and honoring what so many people fought and died for, I am watching the U.S. Senate debate the new immigration bill, noting which senators think their constituents are dumb enough to buy it as genuine reform.
Our Ted Kennedy doesn't have to think at all; he is confident of re-election no matter what he does to his constituents or the country as a whole, and is just playing with everyone else. Arizona's John McCain seems to think he can win the Republican primary just by denying that amnesty is amnesty.
Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, knows his constituents aren't buying it, isn't sure they'll re-elect him, but has decided the best defense is a somewhat whiny offense. Don't just call it amnesty, he cries in obvious frustration: if you don't like it, sit down with a Democrat and tell him what, if not this bill, you want to do!
OK, Sen. Graham: Like your constituents who are calling you, outraged over your support of this farce of a bill, I want to secure the borders. Most everyone I know has been saying "secure the borders" to both Democratic and Republican senators and congressmen for over a year. Do that first, then we can talk about what to do about the 12 million to 20 million illegals who settled here after the last amnesty in 1986.
In the meantime, deport any illegal any American policeman stumbles over in the process of enforcing any law. This helps to secure the borders because as the deported aliens land in their home country, they are the message that there's no point in going to the United States without being invited. As other illegals try to avoid catching the attention of police, they help secure the borders because they will tell relatives back home that in the U.S., illegals are always looking over their shoulders, and suggest that they stay where they are and get in line for the time when the U.S. government gets its act together.
My favorite speaker so far has been Ben Nelson, D-Nebraska. He suggested a simple and logical three-part process. First, secure the borders. When that is done -- and not before -- pass genuine immigration policy, determining who we need here, and help them get here. When that is done, address the illegals who are already here.
I propose that what we do with the latter would depend on how many law-abiding prospective immigrants are in line. If it's not enough for the jobs our businesses need to fill, we might keep some of the illegals as long as they appear at an immigration center to fill out forms that show they fit our nation's requirements and it can be determined that they are not criminals or on welfare. If they pass this inspection, they and their immediate family can stay. If they don't, they must leave. If they don't show up, they are deported as soon as they come to some policeman's attention.
This applies to illegals from any country of course, but I often think about Mexico, with which I fell in love many years ago.
I hear some Mexican activists arguing that part of the United States should be returned to them, which puzzles me. If Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, Nevada and southern Colorado had stayed part of Mexico in the 19th century, they too would now be part of a country that decided to be statist and corrupt instead of the capitalist success story that the United States became; and their impoverished citizens would still be crossing the (farther north) border to get to a land of opportunity.
In an earlier column, I noted that the Catholic Church had to take some responsibility for Third World poverty because of its opposition to birth control. But its long-standing hostility to capitalism, reiterated last week by Pope Benedict, has done more damage.
Poor people who aren't Catholic will also have many children so that some survive to care for them in their old age. With the welfare state, they will be taken care of by the government.
But with capitalism, people can rise out of poverty and afford pensions. But instead of supporting this freedom to prosper, the Church insists that everyone share more; too bad so many of the countries in which it has influence have so little to share.
Re-reading the papal encyclical "Rerum Novarum," it seems to me that the Church -- like many politicians and probably most people who were educated by either the Church or the union-dominated public schools -- never really understood the principles of capitalism, focusing instead on its excesses.
From my old Webster's: "Capitalism n. that economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and distribution and their operation for profit, under more or less competitive conditions".
Good enough for starters. But necessarily assumed is the freedom to make decisions, and mistakes, to risk, to win or to fail, and to try again without government interference -- aside from the necessary function of protecting private property and the occasional arrest of a cheating Enron executive.
Absent capitalism, the government runs, controls, or over-regulates the economy based on political decisions that have nothing to do with the marketplace and which generally prevent people from prospering.
Tomorrow: What brings people north of the border?
I first learned about capitalism and communism when I was an exchange student in Mexico.
I lived with a Mexican family that had a college-age cousin who fancied himself a communist. I remember a party at which I was asked by him and his friends about the American system.
A recent Catholic high school graduate, I knew only that communism was bad because it was godless. I hated my ignorance, and when I got home I started looking for an understanding of the American Way, eventually finding Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises and Ayn Rand.
The latter, in "Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal," writes that capitalism, in its ideal, never fully realized state, is more than just economics, it's "a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned ... all human relationships are voluntary..." and "the common good" does not mean the good of the majority takes precedence over the rights of the individual.
Mexico never chose capitalism in either its ideal or its imperfect forms, going instead for statism, including government owned or operated enterprises, and European-style trade unionism. What a shame this is!
Jacob Hornburger of the Future of Freedom Foundation, who grew up in Laredo, Texas, observing the huge economic divide between Mexico and the U.S., writes, "The secret to rising standards of living and the creation of a wealthy society lies in ever-increasing amounts of capital accumulation, which can only come from private saving, which in turn makes people more productive. And the less people are taxed, the more they are able to save.
"Thus, the solution to the creation of a wealthy society is a counterintuitive one: Prohibit your government from 'helping the people' with welfare, education, health care, and regulation, and abolish the taxation that funds such programs."
I think it's clear that Mexico doesn't have more welfare benefits than we do: but after years of relative economic freedom, we have the resources to pay for more social spending -- at least for now. So with or without a job, many Mexicans are better off here than there.
Imagine if the United States had annexed the entire country in 1848, created eight or 10 more states that would have prospered under our constitution and economic system. American Mexicans would not be coming north except as interstate tourists; and many of us would be moving there now instead of to Nevada and Arizona. Wonderful climate, natural resources, and more fellow Americans as friendly as those in the warmer climates tend to be.
The United States, despite bad examples like Mexico and France, has adopted too much of the entitlement mentality. Some immigrants come here to escape economic stagnation back home and are a welcome addition to our work force; others bring old attitudes with them and should be sent back to the misery they left.
A good immigration reform bill will help our country choose the former kind of new Americans, whom we desperately need. But politicians like Kennedy, statists themselves, want more immigrants who will want the big government, union-dominated kind of government they left, without recognizing the reason they couldn't thrive where they were.
It's anyone's guess why President Bush and some Republicans support the Kennedy bill, though I suspect it falls into the category of "do something, anything, to look as if we are doing something instead of sitting around like bumps on a log while the country is invaded by illegal aliens."
One thing we could do is look at Mexico's own immigration policies. According to J. Michael Waller of the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C., the Mexican Constitution "bans immigrants from public policy discourse. Immigrants and foreigners are denied certain basic property rights. Immigrants are denied equal employment rights and ... naturalized citizens will never be treated as real Mexican citizens, are not to be trusted in public service, may never become members of the clergy."
Whoah, file that under "goes too far"!
How about this? "Private citizens may make citizens arrests of lawbreakers (i.e., illegal immigrants) and hand them to the authorities. Immigrants may be expelled from Mexico for any reason and without due process."
Clearly, a good reason to encourage legal Mexican immigration: some of them are smarter than we are -- probably because without our extraordinary Founding Fathers, they didn't get our 18th-century economic and social system in the beginning, and have learned some lessons the hard way.
Our founding fathers learned many hard lessons from European mistakes, but we Americans have forgotten them, are not being taught them in our schools, and are about to lose what we have to economic ignorance, a growing entitlement mentality, and a totally irrational immigration policy that the new bill won't change.
Wake up, America! The sponsors of this bill really do think you are dumb enough to think it's real reform, and you have to prove them wrong.


Unfortunately, I was academically dismissed from law school after my 1L year. I found out I was no longer a law student in June and I am still finding it very diffcult to deal with. I have always wanted to be an attorney, and I worked very hard to get into law school. My first semester of law school was one of the most difficult journeys that I have ever embarked upon. I soon found out that it was not undergrad. My grades were horrible. I wasn't use to it at all, because I did very well in undergrad. I was told by one of my professors that most people with my GPA did not come back and that it was best to leave. I decided to stay and fight. Second semester was alot better, because I finally understood want it meant to be in law school. I joined a study group, pulled all nighters, met with professors weekly, did practice essays etc. In the end, all my grades went up a letter grade (except for contracts). However, my first semester GPA was just too low that I couldn't come back from it. My school had a C curve.
Now, I am in an MBA program and very unhappy. I wish I was in law school everyday. I feel like a failure and an embarrassment to my mother. There has been an on going competition with my cousin who has just been hired at an accounting firm. Somedays I am fine, but most days I cry. I have no idea where to go from here. I don't know if I am meant to be an attorney. I don't even know how to be happy for my friends who are still there, when all I feel is jealousy and anger. I need advice from people who know what it's like to be in law school.
Have you tried applying for admission to a different school? Cooley? I mean, if you're so distraught that b-school makes you weep, it seems to me you're ready to try anything to get back into law school.
Keep your head up. Getting back into law school isn't impossible, it can be done. The first thing I'd do though is evaluate whether you want to take on the kind of financial debt needed to get back in law school. Remember you can always go back as an evening student. This way you'd have a job to help pay down some of your debt. I only say this because, you dont want to get out of law school in debt up to your ears, you'll be just as miserable as you are in business school. But if your certain you want to return, I'd study extremely hard for the LSAT. This way when you apply to different schools you don't have to settle for some crap school where the likelihood of academic dismissal is high. Good luck, sounds like you got a lot going for you and things will work out regardless.
If you had issue with the first term, I'd study those classes like mad. Contracts and Torts can both be part of your MBA. Make it as large of a part as possible. That way when you go back you will have more of a feel for it.
I'd also recommend going part time (6credits) that way you go slow and get back in the grove. I'd pick a school that offers such a program.

FWP sets special archery deer hunt at Roundup – Outdoor News Daily
BILLINGS – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has scheduled a special archery-only hunt for property in and around Roundup to reduce the number of mule deer in town. Special tags for the hunt go on sale on a first-come first-served basis starting at 5 a.m. Oct. 2, 2018, online or at any license dealer.
FWP has issued 120 either-sex mule deer hunting licenses specifically for the Roundup management season at $10 each for residents and $75 each for non-residents. The season will run from Nov. 9, 2018, through Feb. 15, 2019. Each hunter is limited to two special Roundup licenses.
The tags are valid only for the special Roundup season and on specific properties in and around Roundup. Hunters must hold a current Montana conservation license, base hunting license and bow-and-arrow license.
In addition, hunters must obtain permission from the Roundup city offices, 34 3rd Ave. W., between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The city may assign hunters to appropriate sites.
Because of the proximity to homes and businesses, hunters are restricted to archery equipment.
The hunt will take place on property owned by the City of Roundup, Musselshell County, Irene Snortland and Green Oil Field Service. Maps detailing the hunt area and rules are available at the Roundup city offices.
Hunters are required to bag and properly dispose of the deer viscera and report their harvest to the Roundup city offices at (406) 323-2804.
For the past four years, FWP offered a similar hunt in and around Roundup. Last year 120 tags were sold to 70 individuals who harvested eight does and 10 bucks. In 2016, 160 available tags were purchased by 98 hunters who harvested nine deer. In 2015-16, 160 available tags were purchased by 103

Clinic Supports S.T.O.P. in Cell Tower Dump Case
Posted on December 9, 2021 by masonkortz
Yesterday, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court heard oral arguments in Commonwealth v. Perry, a case about the constitutionality of cell tower dumps. The Cyberlaw Clinic was honored to represent the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project as amici in this important case. S.T.O.P.'s brief (pdf) argues that cell tower dumps are an unreliable and unconstitutional form of dragnet surveillance.
The case stems from a police investigation into a series of armed robberies. In the course of the investigation, the Commonwealth and the FBI obtained cell tower information from four major providers at six different times and locations. The type of information obtained, called a "cell tower dump," included the phone numbers, account information, and call information for every cellular network customer who was connected to any of the targeted cell towers during the relevant times. This led to the government obtaining over 50,000 individuals information. One of those individuals, Jerron Perry, was eventually charged. He challenged the admissibility of the cell tower dumps at trial. The trial court ruled against him, prompting an interlocutory appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court.
S.T.O.P., through its counsel at the Cyberlaw Clinic, filed an amicus brief in support of Mr. Perry. S.T.O.P., a non-profit advocacy and legal services organization, has worked to end the practice of cell tower dumps in New York through the legislative process. As such, S.T.O.P. is intimately familiar with the potential harms and abuses associated with this type of surveillance. Like other forms of dragnet, pattern-based surveillance, cell tower dumps are prone to errors and bias. Moreover, similar location-based surveillance and predictive policing technologies have proven ripe for abuse. Just like the general warrants that gave rise to the Fourth Amendment, cell tower dumps give the government sweeping search authority. No warrant can pass constitutional muster when tens of thousands of uninvolved parties will be subjected to surveillance.
S.T.O.P.'s brief urges the Court to take these failings into consideration when deciding this case. At oral argument, several Justices asked questions that were raised by S.T.O.P., suggesting that the amicus brief has already had an impact. The Clinic is grateful to S.T.O.P. for the opportunity to work together on this issue, and to the Fall 2021 Clinic students Reem Hussein, Jack Shaffery, and Jess Valenzuela Ramirez, who authored the brief with oversight from clinical instructor Mason Kortz.
