South Korea Defeats Cuba 7-2, Sets Date With Japan In Semi's
By David Conde
Eight teams entered the Quarterfinal round and now only four remain, but for South Korea, their next opponent will be a tough task at hand. Japan, the number one ranked nation in the world for baseball purposes, is waiting in the wing for their next victim on their way to an imminent WBSC Premier 12 Championship, but South Korea looks to stop the dominance.
But first they had to advance out of their own quarterfinal match against Team Cuba.
On Monday, South Korea struck first by scoring five runs in the top of the second to put the pressure on Cuba. But the Caribbean country did not have a response for the punch they received.
South Korea ousted Cuban starter Frank Montieth in just one inning of work, as he gave up three runs on four hits. The Cuban offense staggered throughout the game, only managing two runs on seven hits, with their only scoring coming in the fifth inning.
South Korea added two more runs in the top of the seventh to pull away and secure a 7-2 victory to advance to a date with Japan on Thursday.
The winner will advance to the Championships on Saturday against the winner of the Mexico/United States game on Friday.

UH Researchers Improving Resolution in 3D Data Collected by Drones
Separating Signal from Noise in Earth Observation Data
Researchers will use a $1.89 million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine how to reconcile images collected by drone with more precise images, allowing them to better understand how terrain has changed over time. Image: Canva
Drones have become a quick and relatively inexpensive way to capture on-the-ground images of geographic areas, offering valuable information to soldiers and others. But those images have a drawback: they often can't accurately be compared with images taken previously – images which generally were collected using different standards and formats – in order to determine how the terrain has changed over time.
Researchers with the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping at the University of Houston are using a $1.89 million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to create a set of algorithms that would allow users to more precisely align datasets collected at different times and reliably estimate changes between images captured at different times.
Craig Glennie, principle investigator with NCALM and associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at UH, said just-in-time data collected by drones can be helpful on the battlefield or in other circumstances. "More and more, people want to take older data and compare it to newer data and see if anything has changed, and there's not really a mechanism to do that with any confidence."
The main investigators on the project are Preston Hartzell, an assistant research professor at NCALM who is also involved in a similar project funded by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and Glennie.
The most complete datasets are collected by aircraft flying over an area, which allows researchers to use more powerful mapping equipment and to access GPS satellite data. The combination of more powerful equipment and GPS data makes those datasets more precise, Glennie said.
Drone-collected data offers a different advantage – drones are small, nimble and less intrusive. But they aren't able to access GPS data as accurately and, because the equipment they carry is smaller and lighter weight, they can't collect as much information.
To allow researchers to reconcile disparate datasets, Hartzell and Glennie will develop new algorithms – Glennie describes them as a new tool set – that can accurately highlight data signaling changes while ignoring extraneous or inconsequential data.
NCALM is a National Science Foundation-supported research center, based at UH and operated in conjunction with the University of California-Berkeley to provide LiDAR-generated topographical data for researchers around the world. This project is an extension of its ongoing earth science work, including earthquake monitoring projects.
Glennie said the results will be useful in mapping natural disasters, as well as for military applications, including to help Houston and other cities accurately gauge the extent of flood damage following a hurricane or other major storm.
The resulting tools and methodology will be shared with other researchers through the open-source Point Data Abstraction Library.

THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT FINDS BASIS FOR ATTORNEY FEE AWARD IN FAVOR OF MORTGAGOR DESPITE BANK'S OSTENSIBLE LACK OF STANDING
Home Resources THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT FINDS BASIS FOR ATTORNEY FEE AWARD IN FAVOR OF MORTGAGOR DESPITE BANK'S OSTENSIBLE LACK OF STANDING
The Florida Supreme Court issued a written opinion on January 4, 2019 which addressed a mortgagor's entitlement to prevailing party attorney's fees in the context of an unsuccessful foreclosure action. Glass v. Nationstar Mort. LLC. Nationstar held a reverse mortgage and initiated foreclosure proceedings "due to non-payment of taxes and/or insurance on the property." After two amendments to the complaint, the mortgagor ("Glass") successfully moved to dismiss Nationstar's foreclosure complaint with prejudice. Notably, Glass' motion to dismiss contained four grounds for dismissal but the trial court did not indicate the specific basis for dismissal in its order.
After the dismissal, Glass moved for attorney's fees as the prevailing party in the mortgage foreclosure suit. Nationstar appealed the order of dismissal to the Fourth DCA, but then voluntarily dismissed the appeal "after briefing" but before the Fourth DCA rendered a decision. Glass then moved for appellate attorney's fees which the Fourth DCA denied. In its order denying fees the Fourth DCA stated that Glass could not "take advantage of a fee provision" contained in a mortgage contract which the plaintiff lacked the right to enforce. Glass appealed this holding to the Florida Supreme Court.
The Florida Supreme Court accepted jurisdiction and noted the issue in the case was the mortgagor's "entitlement to appellate attorney's fees…after a bank files a notice of voluntary dismissal in the district court of appeal." The Court concluded Glass was entitled to fees as the prevailing party on appeal since Nationstar voluntarily dismissed the appeal but also "because Nationstar maintained its right to enforce the reverse mortgage contract in its appeal until the dismissal." The Court quashed the Fourth DCA's decision explaining it mischaracterized the procedural history of the case and misstated the lower court's ruling.
The Court explained the Fourth DCA improperly focused on the dismissal of the complaint for lack of standing by the trial court instead of the "entitlement to appellate attorney's fees based on the voluntary dismissal [of the appeal]" by Nationstar. The Court elaborated:
"This reasoning both misstates the basis of the trial court's ruling on Glass's motion for dismissal and fails to address Glass's motion for appellate attorney's fees based on the voluntary dismissal."
The Court then discussed the four grounds Glass raised in her motion to dismiss and pointed out the that trial court did not provide a basis for its decision, so it was "inaccurate to state that Glass was successful only for demonstrating that Nationstar lacked standing." The Court went further: "Even if the trial court's dismissal was based on lack of standing, it was not based on a finding that Nationstar did not hold the note …" Instead, it was based on a finding that "Nationstar's complaint was legally insufficient for failure to properly demonstrate the chain of title" to the note and mortgage. Importantly, the Court distinguished, but did not overrule Bank of New York Mellon Trust Co. v. Fitzgerald on this ground.
In Fitzgerald, the Third DCA refused to grant attorney's fees to the mortgagor despite the fact she obtained judgment based on the bank's lack of standing. However, in Fitzgerald the Third DCA specifically found that "no contract existed between the Bank and Fitzgerald that would allow Fitzgerald to invoke the reciprocity provisions of section 57.105(7)" which provision can create entitlement to attorney fees. The Court in Glass pointed out that the Fourth DCA made no such findings.
The Glass Court then went into a detailed discussion regarding attorneys' fees noting the rule is that "attorney fees may be awarded by a court only when authorized by statute or by agreement of the parties." The Court then clarified, however, that:
"attorney's fees may be recovered under a prevailing-party attorney's fee provision…even though the contract is rescinded or held to be unenforceable."
The Court finally concluded that a reverse mortgage contract "clearly existed between Glass and Countrywide Mortgage Company…" and "…was merely unenforceable by Nationstar because it failed to demonstrate that it was the rightful successor in interest." Although a troubling decision for the mortgage industry, there are limits to the Glass holding. Firstly, possession of the original negotiated note at the time of filing the complaint eliminates any basis for dismissal or an adverse judgment based on lack of standing. Secondly, if the bank's foreclosure is unsuccessful based on lack of standing, the bank can still argue (perhaps counter-intuitively) that no contract existed between the plaintiff and the mortgagor. Admittedly, this latter issue will likely be the subject of future litigation.

How Can I Be Found Guilty?
How You Can Be Found Guilty in Massachusetts
Here's the thing our Plymouth County criminal defense attorney says you must remember: criminal charges against a defendant are accusations and nothing more. In our system of criminal justice, a defendant is always presumed innocent. The government carries the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. From the moment you are charged up until the jury returns a verdict, the presumption of innocence applies. In other words, you are not guilty unless and until the jury says otherwise.
The Defendant Is Always Presumed Innocent Until Proven Otherwise
Let's unpack this a little bit. The presumption of innocence is considered a fundamental right. It requires that the government use evidence to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. This burden never shifts. A defendant does not prove his or her innocence and is not required to call any witnesses or offer any evidence. In fact, it is entirely proper (though not recommended) that a defendant does nothing at all because it's the government's job to prove guilt.
Two Ways Someone Can Be Found Guilty in Massachusetts
The first way is if you plead guilty. In Massachusetts, not guilty pleas are automatically entered for all defendants. If a defendant then later changes his or her plea to guilty, then a guilty plea will be entered and punishment will be given. Sometimes that punishment may be probation or sometimes it may be jail, or sometimes it may be no punishment at all. Unless your guilty plea is later sealed or expunged, it will stay on your record forever.
No one can force you to make a guilty plea. There are some strategic reasons why someone may plead guilty, and many times it's to avoid what's known as the "trial penalty." And this is a major reason why the vast majority of cases settle and don't go to trial. The trial penalty refers to the difference between the punishment or sentence offered in a plea prior to trial, versus the sentence or punishment a defendant receives after trial. A defendant may plead guilty simply to avoid the risk of a harsher punishment if they lose at trial.
The second way you can be found guilty is through a guilty verdict at trial. At trial, the fact-finder (usually a jury, but it can be a judge in what's known as a bench trial) is there to determine guilt or innocence. If the government has not proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt, the law requires that the jury return a verdict of not guilty. The verdict must be unanimous, meaning everyone on the jury must agree. If they can't, the judge will declare a mistrial and the defendant's case will be tried again to a different jury at a different time.
How Can I Be Found Guilty At Trial?
To be found guilty at trial, the government must prove each and every element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. At the end of the trial, the judge talks to the jury and tells them what reasonable doubt means. Charges are proved beyond a reasonable doubt if, after having heard all of the evidence, a jury has in their mind "an abiding conviction, to a moral certainty, that the accusation against the defendant is true. Moral certainty refers to the highest degree of certainty in human affairs." If a jury has any reasonable doubt, then the defendant is entitled to the benefit of that doubt and must be acquitted. The jury writes its decision on a verdict slip.
One thing people don't realize is that for a total victory at trial, the jury must return a not guilty verdict on each and every charge. For example, in a typical drunk driving case (called OUI in Massachusetts) someone is pulled over for driving all over the road and failing field sobriety tests. In those types of cases, the defendant usually faces three charges. Count 1 would be OUI. Count 2 would be the negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and count 3 might be a marked lanes violation, which is a civil, not a criminal, an infraction.
The theory of prosecution is that driving all over the road is a major safety hazard and that it's a crime to endanger the public by driving that way. And it's a separate crime to drive drunk. The jury will be deciding your guilt or innocence on each of count 1 (negligent operation) and count 2 (OUI/DUI). Count 3 in this hypothetical would be dismissed before trial because it's a traffic ticket. The jury can, and sometimes do, come back with a not guilty on one count and a guilty on another.

Just a few days after it declared war on ISIS yet again, the infamous hacking group Anonymous is apparently fulfilling its promise. The most recent reports suggest that ISIS have lost more than 5,500 twitter accounts courtesy of Anonymous, and this is hopefully just the tip of the iceberg. The hackers have declared "total war" on the terrorist group right after the recent Paris attacks, and they have also created an official Twitter account for the entire #OpParis operation. Most importantly, however, Anonymous has established a website that aims to index ISIS members according to their actual names, locations, and social media accounts.
This is definitely not the first time that Anonymous has taken action against terrorist groups, as its members have managed to take down tens of thousands of accounts just earlier this year as a response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Moreover, another hacking group called Ghost Security Group has apparently found Bitcoin wallets, which hold more than $3 million that could be used to fund ISIS operations. Hopefully, law enforcement agencies will benefit from these recent findings and from Anonymous' efforts to track down and expose ISIS members. On a personal note, I do admire the hacktivists' perseverance and their desire to eliminate the terrorist threat, but I hope that they are prepared to fight this battle on a long-term basis and not just in short bursts after major attacks have already happened.

Q: Hypervolume and exterior product. I've read somewhere that you can represent hypervolumes as the exterior product in Grassmann algebra.
Particularly, I've read that given $\mathbf{v}_k=a_{1k}\mathbf{e}_1+\cdots+a_{nk}\mathbf{e}_n$ then the magnitude of the $m$-multivector $\mathbf{v}_1\wedge\cdots\wedge\mathbf{v}_m$ is $\det A$ where $A=(a_{ij})_{\forall i \leq n, j \leq m}$, which is also the volume of the $m$-parallelotope represented by this multivector.
How is hypervolume usually defined? How do you define the hypervolume with the exterior product?
Thanks.

We hit the southern Colorado backcountry for some small creek fishing. Tons of fish and quiet solitude make these outings some of the most rewarding of the year.
Our Takes: When the water starts running high and brown and the temperatures hit the 80s, we celebrate the oncoming summer with a trip to a Colorado small stream. The southern part of the state warms up first, so we normally head to that part of the state. However, from the middle of June through September, most of the state's small creeks flow clear and cold and hold thousands of small fish.
Flies: Dries include Purple Haze (10-14), Amy's Ant (10-12), Hoppers (hopper-sized). Fish 4x and 5x mono with 3-4 weight rods.

Preceding crop and seasonal effects influence fungal, bacterial and nematode diversity in wheat and oilseed rape rhizosphere and soil
Hilton, S., Bennett, A.J., Chandler, D., Mills, P. and Bending, G.D. (2018) Preceding crop and seasonal effects influence fungal, bacterial and nematode diversity in wheat and oilseed rape rhizosphere and soil. Applied Soil Ecology, 126. pp. 34-46.

Crop rotation can have major influences on yield, which may be the result of changes in the composition of the rhizosphere microbiome. In particular there is evidence that yields of both oilseed rape and wheat can be influenced by the frequency in which they are grown in rotation with each other. In the current study we investigated the effect of preceding crops (either wheat or oilseed rape) on wheat and oilseed rape yield, with associated changes in the rhizosphere and bulk soil communities of fungi, bacteria and nematodes using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) of rRNA genes. Yield of wheat and oilseed rape were reduced by 11 and 10% respectively when grown two years consecutively. Rhizosphere populations were significantly different to bulk soil populations for all groups of organisms. Seasonal shifts in the communities were observed in the rhizosphere for all groups. Communities of fungi, bacteria and nematodes were all significantly influenced by the preceding crop in the wheat rhizosphere, while just the nematode population was affected by preceding crop in the oilseed rape rhizosphere. In particular when two consecutive crops of oilseed rape were grown, relative abundance of members of nematodes within the genus Eumonhystera increased markedly. The fungal foliar pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola, the teleomorph of Zymoseptoria tritici which causes septoria leaf blotch in wheat, was identified in the rhizosphere of wheat and was significantly more abundant in wheat grown after oilseed rape. We conclude that overall, preceding crop had less impact on community composition than season or crop type, but that specific changes in communities at particular plant growth stages may have substantive impacts on crop growth.

Official data rebuts false claims regarding Iowa voter registration

MEDIA RELEASE: Official data rebuts false claims regarding Iowa voter registration
DES MOINES – A Washington D.C.-based organization made false claims today in a news release regarding voter registration information in eight Iowa counties. Judicial Watch claims that total registration numbers in these counties are larger than the eligible voter population. Official data compiled by the Iowa Secretary of State's Office shows this information is false.
"It's unfortunate this organization continues to put out inaccurate data regarding voter registration, and it's especially disconcerting they chose the day of the Iowa Caucus to do this," Secretary Pate said. "My office has told this organization, and others who have made similar claims, that their data regarding Iowa is deeply flawed and their false claims erode voter confidence in elections. They should stop this misinformation campaign immediately and quit trying to disenfranchise Iowa voters."
Iowa's voter registration statistics are publicly available on the Secretary of State's website. They are updated monthly. These numbers show that the ones claimed by Judicial Watch in their news release today are patently false.
Along with their false claims about the voter registration numbers, the organization's claims about Iowa population are greatly underestimated, according to actual data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The Iowa Secretary of State's Office stands with its county auditors and the methods they use to provide clean and accurate voter rolls.

Tutorials
=========

Below are some examples of how to transform your data into a ``proximity``/``distance`` weighted graph, and then extract the graph's ``metric`` and ``ultrametric`` backbones.

Loading packages
-----------------

You will most definetely need two packages to start: NetworkX (for handling networks), and the distanceclosure (to calculate their backbones).

.. code-block:: python

    import networkx as nx
    import distanceclosure as dc

Proximities and distances
--------------------------

Usually, there are two way to think about graph weights, one is consider every edge like a ``proximity`` (or a similarity), and the other is to think it in terms of a ``distance`` (or a dissimilarity).

In ``proximity`` graphs weights are like probabilities, they range between ``[0,1]``. The stronger (higher) the proximity, the more the nodes are alike, or similar. These graphs are usually obtained from computing the pairwise similarity among all pairs of variables (nodes).

In ``distance`` graphs, weight are (er) distances in a particular space (often not euclidean), and they range between ``[0, infinity]``. The smaller the distance, the closer together two nodes are in that space.

Now, proximity and distance measures are isomorphic and we can convert proximity into distances and vice versa.

.. code-block:: python
    :caption: Proximity to Distances

    >>> dc.utils.prox2dist(1)
    0
    >>> dc.utils.prox2dist(0)
    inf

.. code-block:: python
    :caption: Distances to Proximities

    >>> dc.utils.dist2prox(15)
    0.0625
    >>> dc.utils.dist2prox(1)
    0.5

Building a weighted graph and extracting the backbone
------------------------------------------------------

Let's say you observed a phenomenon :code:`n = 10` times. Think scientists talking during coffee breaks on a conference, co-expressed genes in replicate experiments, or friends seen together in photos. Each time, you ``counted`` how many times each pair of nodes (scientists, genes, friends) were observed together. If you translate these observations into an edgelist format, you have

.. code-block:: python

    >>> counts = {
        ('i', 'j'): 1,
        ('i', 'l'): 2,
        ('i', 'k'): 1,
        ('l', 'k'): 2,
        ('k', 'm'): 5,
        ('k', 'j'): 1,
        ('m', 'j'): 5,
    }

Normalizing the number of observations by the total number of events, you end up with a probability of interaction – or a proximity (similarity) measure. The higher the value, the higher the chances these two nodes were seen together.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> proximity = {ij: c/n for ij, c in counts.items()}
    >>> proximity
    {
        ('i', 'j'): 0.1,
        ('i', 'l'): 0.2,
        ('i', 'k'): 0.1,
        ('l', 'k'): 0.2,
        ('k', 'm'): 0.5,
        ('k', 'j'): 0.1,
        ('m', 'j'): 0.5,
    }

To convert this similarity into a distance, we use the ``prox2dist`` function.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> distance = {ij: dc.utils.prox2dist(p) for ij, p in proximity.items()}
    {
        ('i', 'j'): 9,
        ('i', 'l'): 4,
        ('i', 'k'): 9,
        ('l', 'k'): 4,
        ('k', 'm'): 1,
        ('k', 'j'): 9,
        ('m', 'j'): 1,
    }

Now we use NetworkX and convert this edgelist format into a undirected weighted distance NetworkX.Graph object.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> D = nx.from_edgelist(distance)
    # Make sure every edge has an attribute with the distance value
    >>> nx.set_edge_attributes(D, name='distance', values=edgelist)

And compute the ``metric`` and ``ultrametric`` backbone of this ``distance graph``.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> Dcm = dc.distance_closure(D, kind='metric', weight='distance')
    >>> Dcum = dc.distance_closure(D, kind='ultrametric', weight='distance')

.. note::

    ``distance_closure`` often returns a fully connected graph, which can be quite computationally expensive you have a large graph.
    If you are only interested in the metric or ultrametric backbone, you should only add new distance values for edges already in the graph, using

    .. code-block:: python

        Dcm = dc.distance_closure(D, kind='metric', weight='distance', only_backbone=True)

Metric edges are now identified with attributes ``metric_distance`` and ``is_metric``. Similarly, ultrametric edges are identified with attributes ``ultrametric_distance`` and ``is_ultrametric``.
To identify them, simply do

.. code-block:: python

    >>> [(i, j) for i, j, d in Dcm.edges(data=True) if d['is_metric'] is True]
    [('i', 'j'), ('i', 'l'), ('j', 'm'), ('l', 'k'), ('k', 'm')]

    >>> [(i, j) for i, j, d in Dcum.edges(data=True) if d['is_ultrametric'] is True]
    [('i', 'l'), ('j', 'm'), ('l', 'k'), ('k', 'm')]

You can also export the results to a ``Pandas.DataFrame`` with

.. code-block:: python

    >>> nx.to_pandas_edgelist(Dcm)
      source target  is_metric  distance  metric_distance
    0      i      j       True       9.0                9
    1      i      l       True       4.0                4
    2      i      k      False       9.0                8
    3      i      m      False       inf                9
    4      j      k      False       9.0                2
    5      j      m       True       1.0                1
    6      j      l      False       inf                6
    7      l      k       True       4.0                4
    8      l      m      False       inf                5
    9      k      m       True       1.0                1

This toy example is the same shown in :cite:`Simas:2021`, Figures 4 and 5.

The Buyer is not allowed to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, any of the rights and / or obligations provided for in the Contract without the prior written consent of Hammer.
The Buyer hereby gives his consent for Hammer to transfer, in whole or in part, the Contract or the rights and / or obligations provided for in the Contract. To this end, the Buyer, as soon as requested by Hammer, has to promptly carry out all those obligations that may be necessary for the purpose of the transfer of the Contract.
Hammer may disclose all the information in its possession relating to the Contract, including those relating to its negotiation, as well as those relating to the Buyer which are necessary for the purpose of the transfer of the Contract.
In the event of a Force Majeure event, the Party whose performance of its obligations is prevented has to notify the other Party within five (5) calendar days providing all relevant details and has to do everything possible to immediately remedy the situation.
No Party will be liable for any non-fulfillment of the obligations provided for by the Contract to the extent that the fulfillment has been hindered or delayed or prevented by a Force Majeure event communicated in accordance with this Clause. The deadline to perform will be postponed accordingly.
The Contract constitutes the entire manifestation of all the understandings and agreements between the Parties in relation to its object and constitutes the only source of rights and obligations between them, superseding and replacing any previous understanding and agreement in verbal and written, or otherwise reached through facta concludentia.
Each Party acknowledges that it has not relied on any pre-contractual declaration when agreeing to sign the Contract.
Any modification or integration to the Contract will not be valid, effective and binding unless it is made in writing and signed by both Parties, in particular by the Party against which such a modification or integration is invoked.
The possible tolerance of one of the Parties to the conduct of the other Party, which result in a violation of the provisions contained in the Contract, does not constitute a waiver of the rights deriving from the violated provisions, nor the right to demand the exact fulfillment of all the terms and all the conditions provided therein.
The rights and remedies included herein are not exclusive in nature, but are in addition to the other rights and remedies available under applicable law.
The headings of the individual Clauses have been set aside for the sole purpose of facilitating the reading of the Contract and, therefore, they should not be taken into account for the interpretation of the Contract.
If any provision of the Contract is found by any court or other competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed to be deleted from the Contract and the remaining provisions of the Contract will remain in full force and effect. The Parties will therefore negotiate in good faith in order to agree on the terms of a mutually satisfactory provision replacing the provision deemed void and unenforceable. In the event that no agreement is reached on a new provision, the Contract will remain valid and enforceable unless the invalid provision is of material importance to at least one of the Parties and it can reasonably be assumed that the Parties would not have signed the Contract without such an invalid provision.
The Parties expressly agree that the Contract is governed solely by Italian law without regard to the conflict of laws rules of such a legal system. In addition, the Parties exclude the applicability of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980 and its amendments.
The Parties expressly agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the validity, execution or termination of the Contract will be subject to Italian jurisdiction and, in particular, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Asti.

After-hours coverage: national survey of policies and guidelines for primary care physicians.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and content of existing or developing policies and guidelines of medical associations and colleges regarding after-hours care by family physicians and general practitioners, especially legal requirements. DESIGN: Telephone survey in fall 2002, updated in fall 2004. SETTING: Canada. PARTICIPANTS: All national and provincial medical associations, Colleges of Family Physicians, Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, local government offices for the north, and the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION: "Does your agency have a policy in place regarding after-hours health care coverage by FPs/GPs, or are there active discussions regarding such a policy?" RESULTS: The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia was the first to institute a policy, in 1995, requiring physicians to make "specific arrangements" for after-hours care of their patients. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta adopted a similar policy in 1996 along with a guideline to aid implementation. In 2002, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia approved a guideline on the Availability of Physicians After Hours. The Saskatchewan Medical Association and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan formulated a joint policy on medical practice coverage that was released in 2003. Many agencies actively discussed the topic. Provincial and national Colleges of Family Physicians did not have any policies in place. The CMPA does not generate guidelines but released in an information letter in May 2000 a section entitled "Reducing your risk when you're not available." CONCLUSION: There is increasing interest Canada-wide in setting policy for after-hours care. While provincial Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons have traditionally led the way, a trend toward more collaboration between associations was identified. The effect of policy implementation on physicians' coverage of patients is unclear.

An intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range  of 3,000–5,500 km (1,864–3,418 miles), between a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Classifying ballistic missiles by range is done mostly for convenience; in principle there is very little difference between a low-performance ICBM and a high-performance IRBM, because decreasing payload mass can increase range over ICBM threshold. The range definition used here is used within the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. Some other sources include an additional category, the long-range ballistic missile (LRBM), to describe missiles with a range between IRBMs and true ICBMs. The more modern term theatre ballistic missile encompasses MRBMs and SRBMs, including any ballistic missile with a range under .

The progenitor for the IRBM was the A4b winged rocket, based on the V-2 (officially called A4) rocket used by Nazi Germany at the end of World War II.

History
The progenitor for the IRBM was the A4b rocket winged for increased range and based on the famous V-2 (Vergeltung, or "Reprisal", officially called A4) rocket designed by Wernher von Braun; the V-2 was widely used by Nazi Germany at the end of World War II to bomb English and Belgian cities. The A4b was the prototype for the upper stage of the A9/A10 rocket. The goal of the program was to build a missile capable of bombarding New York when launched in France or Spain (see Amerika Bomber). A4b rockets were tested a few times in December 1944 and January and February 1945. All of these rockets used liquid propellant. The A4b used an inertial guidance system, while the A9 would have been controlled by a pilot. They started from a non-mobile launch pad.

Following World War II von Braun and other lead Nazi scientists were secretly transferred to the United States to work directly for the U.S. Army through Operation Paperclip developing the V-2 into the weapon for the United States.

IRBMs are currently operated by the People's Republic of China, India, Israel, and North Korea. The United States, USSR, Pakistan, United Kingdom, and France were former operators.

Nomenclature
There is no clearly agreed-upon distinction between an intermediate-range and a medium range (MRBM) missile, and the categories overlap. Different sources will classify missiles in different ways. They are both distinct from ICBMs in that they have a range that is less than intercontinental, and hence must be based relatively close to the target. An IRBM, in general, is intended as a strategic weapon, while a MRBM, in general, is intended as a theatre ballistic missile.

The American Civil Liberties Union sued the Justice Department on Friday over an unfulfilled public records request that sought a report examining possible ethics violations committed by the attorneys who authored the now infamous Bush administration torture memorandums.
In December, the ACLU file a Freedom of Information Act request asking for a copy of the report from the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, which investigates allegations of professional misconduct within the Department of Justice. Attorney General Eric Holder said in November that a copy of the report would be made available immediately, but according to the ACLU's suit the request was never fulfilled.
"The public has a legitimate interest in knowing whether the authors of the memos violated ethical rules as well as the criminal laws, and in ensuring that those who wrote the memos, as well as those who authorized torture, are held accountable. The release of the ethics report is long overdue," said Jameel Jaffer, director of the organization's National Security Project.

Deacon Profile: Zachary Bynum

Senior Zachary Bynum spearheaded the College Advocacy Summit, which was a six-hour conference that focused on advocacy and social justice for college students. Bynum was inspired to create the summit after participating in BRANCHES, a social justice retreat run by the Pro Humanitate Institute (PHI).
Outside of his work planning BRANCHES, Bynum is also a PHI Scholar and a member of the Black Excellence Committee.
Why did you plan the College Advocacy Summit?
I planned the College Advocacy Summit because I have been involved in the planning of BRANCHES Social Justice retreat for the past two years and [have been a] member of the retreat for the past four years. Every year, students have tons of critiques and suggestions on how to improve the curriculum and operation of the retreat, so I wanted to create a conference where we center student voices as we explore different topics in social justice that a three-day retreat just simply cannot accommodate.
How did the role of activism in your life help you plan this event?
Activism that I've done on campus and in the greater community has helped me develop a passion for organizing. Through organizing, I always try to channel the many lessons I've learned about building connections, power-mapping, being intentional in my work and trusting the process.
Did the event produce the results you were looking for?
Absolutely. I was especially pleased by the students who came from off of campus and were so willing to be a part of this "experiment," given that it was the first summit of its kind. I was especially moved by the keynote speaker, Zyanha Bryant. She's the student activist in Charlottesville who organized to take down the Robert E. Lee statue who was in Teen Vogue and Huffington Post literally two days after the conference for organizing a racial justice walkout in her school. She discussed a lot of meaningful ways of addressing white supremacy in our schools, which is an issue that is currently impacting Wake Forest's campus. She also was big on advocating for more resources to be allocated to the efforts of black women and queer people of color in their own organizing.
What else have you done on campus related to social justice?
In my first two years of being a student at Wake Forest, I was involved with campus activism here and there, often just being a member of student organizations like Students for Liberation and BRANCHES. Then, I got more involved with political organizing and social justice education through organizations like Democracy NC, Freedom School and the Anna Julia Cooper Center.
How do you think community works within activism?
I like to lean on the words of one of my professors when I think about this question: "Ida B. Wells documented lynching for nearly 30 years, and she still didn't end racism." But what she did do was help spark the coalescence of scholars, activist, organizers and communities into a movement of people that were all dedicated to social justice. What that says to me is that while activism is always important and impactful, whether there's one or one hundred people doing it, it is sustained and supported through communities and networks that can help continue the mission and goals at hand.
How do you incorporate activism into your daily life?
I honestly don't think I do, and I am starting to accept that that is okay. Activism is tough, disheartening, and it can even feel unimpacftul sometimes, so constantly trying to hold myself to that stringent standard can be dehumanizing and disingenuine to myself and those around me. What is more important to me is developing my moral ethos, so that I can continuously channel this in the activism and the work that I do.
