Mayor Kenney jokes with students at Gideon Elementary, a Philadelphia community school.
Mayor Kenney pitched community schools as a linchpin of his administration, a key reason Philadelphia needed the controversial soda tax. It would take a number of public schools and transform them with supports, resources, and a city-paid staffer to coordinate them, enabling school staff to focus more on improving academics.
Two years into the initiative — which has a $3.25 million budget this fiscal year — the city's community schools are not yet transformed, and overall, the effort's results have been mixed, according to a study released Thursday by Research for Action, the nonpartisan Philadelphia nonprofit.
While there have been some school-level victories, the community-schools model has been hampered by limited coordination between the school system and the Kenney administration and by a lack of standardized systems that could allow leaders to track individual students' progress, the report says. The program "could be improved with stronger leadership from the Mayor's Office of Education and more extensive cross-sector collaboration," it found.
Situated around the city, the 12 community schools — Cramp, F.S. Edmonds, Gideon, Gompers, Locke, Logan, and Southwark elementary schools; Tilden Middle School; and Dobbins; Kensington Health Sciences; and South Philadelphia and George Washington high schools — each have a different focus, but the goal is the same: to remove barriers to learning by embedding select resources inside the schools.
South Philadelphia High, for instance, has a clothes closet and a food pantry and focuses much of its work on jobs and career training; Tilden's amenities include a mindfulness room and an emphasis on mental-health services.
One bright spot has been the quality of the community-school coordinators, those staffers charged with assessing schools' needs and finding resources to match them. At one school, a staff member described that coordinator to researchers as "a fairy godmother; if you say, 'We really need to have this,' [the coordinator] finds a way."
But those workers are often stretched too thin, the report found.
And while student participation in the community schools' programs and services was high — 85 percent of those surveyed said they attended at least one community-school event in 2017-18 — connections with families and the larger community have been tough, stymied by "a history of fear, mistrust, and lack of involvement with the school among community members," the report said.
There have been other hurdles, too; some schools have offered evening and weekend programs, but in other cases, security and funding issues have prevented the kind of wider programming envisioned.
There seemed to be a disconnect, too, between what students say they need and the kind of programming offered. More than 80 percent of teachers and staff said that community-school services matched students' needs, fewer than 20 percent of students made that claim. About 7,000 students attend the schools; 890 students and staff were surveyed.
Otis Hackney, Kenney's chief education officer, said that the report will serve community schools well and that its recommendations are already being implemented.
"We value this opportunity to take a clear look at where we can improve and are excited to work with the school district and many other partners to strengthen the initiative going forward," Hackney said in a statement.
Lee Whack, a district spokesperson, said the school system was pleased with the work in progress.
"The behavioral health supports and the community partnerships have been very beneficial, and we believe they will continue to grow," Whack said in a statement. "We greatly appreciate the commitment from Mayor Kenney and City Council in this effort to support Philadelphia children and communities."

TANGLED MESS Tribune News Service Amritsar, December 1 A wired mess inside the narrow by-lanes of walled city, especially in the old katras that are the commercial lifeline of Amritsar, continue to be a public hazard as the administration looks the other way. Loose and naked wires, that bundle around transformers or street lamp posts over the busiest lanes in Shastri Market, near the telephone exchange and lanes leading to Katra Ahluwalia and Jaimal Singh are not just an eyesore but also pose a threat of fire outbreak or electrocution risk to passersby and shopkeepers of the area. Tangled and hung loosely, often falling on shops and houses, the authorities concerned have shown no interest in streamlining or proposing a solution to this problem. The shop owners in the area shared that in the past, several instances of small fire out- Cobwebs of wires around electric poles in the narrow lanes of Shastri Market in Amritsar on Thursday.

The Municipal Corporation as well as the power corporation authorities seem to be indifferent as people tend to adjust their lives around these tangled wires having been unable to make the authorities take notice of their problem. "Some of these wires including the optical fibre wire of internet companies, telephone wires and cable wires run across windows and balconies of people's homes, causing an immediate threat of electrocution. Several times, complaints have been made but the authorities concerned do not seem to care," said Prakash Kapoor, a local shopkeeper who runs a furnishing business in Katra Ahluwalia. Most commercial areas in Katra Jaimal Singh comprise wholesale clothes and fabric market, which fall under highly combustible products. These wires run across or just over the shops, storing mountain high stacks of cloth. "It is just another man-made disaster waiting to happen. Especially during the monsoon or heat season, these wires pose a high risk," said Vijay Sharma, another show owner in the area. Apart from the risk, it is also a cumbersome exercise for the electricians or cable operators to give new connections as the wires that are juxtaposed each other, make it a confusing and tiresome process. Residents bear the brunt of multiple choke points on GT Road Pharmacy robbery case solved, one in police net STRETCH OF PROBLEMS Tribune News Service Manmeet Singh Gill tribune news service Amritsar, December 1 Encroachments on GT Road, the lifeline of the traffic in the city, are not only forcing people to spend more time on travelling due to frequent traffic jams but also increasing their fuel bills. The stretch near the railway station, Putligar, Khandwala and Chheharta witness frequent traffic jams throughout the day. Residents are of the view that freeing the service lanes from illegal encroachments and making it available for the slow moving traffic can help in solving the problem to a great extent. The private buses parked outside the railway station, along with the auto-rickshaws, waiting at Rampant encroachments on GT Road not only lead to recurrent traffic jams but also increase travelling time of commuters in Amritsar. TRIBUNE PHOTOS: SUNIL KUMAR the entrance of the station cause traffic congestion till late in the evening. Harman Singh, a resident of Jandiala, who travels on the stretch daily to reach Khalsa College, said, "I avoid driving on the stretch and prefer to use the outer bypass road. I have to drive 15 km more but it's better than travelling on the GT road." He said the traffic police and the Municipal Corporation must come up with a plan to remove all traffic bottlenecks. Near Putlighar Chowk, vegetable sellers, food kiosks and illegally-parked vehicles eat up a major portion of the road thus hampering the smooth flow of traffic. "The sheer number of cars creates a free-for-all here. No one is bothered about the traffic signals as everyone is in a hurry to cross the stretch and this makes things worse," said Amanpreet Singh, a shop- c m y b keeper in the area. The tendency of the shopkeepers to display their billboards and even items on the road reduces the space available for vehicles and pedestrians. Apart from the local administration, the residents too are at fault in creating the mess on the roads, locals claim. "If everyone starts following traffic norms religiously, the situation can improve to a great extent. Shopkeepers are using the road in front of their property as extension of their shops," said Lakhbir Singh, a resident of Chheharta area. Amritsar, December 1 The city police have cracked a case in which a pharmacy was looted by an armed youth. The police have arrested a youth, who has been identified as Jagdish Singh, alias Goldy, a resident of Himmatpura, Gilwali Gate. The police said the suspect got addicted to drugs a few days ago and started committing petty crimes. On November 25, he entered into a quarrel with his family and left the house before committing the robbery, in which he looted Rs 35,000 from a pharmacy located on Court Road. The police registered a case under Section 379-B (2) of the IPC and Sections 25, 27, 54, 59 (2) of the Arms Act against him on the complaint of Nitish Kumar, an employee of the pharmacy. Varinder Singh Khosa, Assistant Commissioner of Police (North), said the police had recovered a toy pistol, Rs 3,000, a laptop and a cell phone, besides a stolen scooter from his possession. He had stolen the scooter from the bus stand area around 10 days before the robbery. He said the suspect had been working at an automobile agency for the past six months. The investigation revealed that he had committed the crime in order to earn easy money for his daily dose of drugs. He had two theft cases registered against him at Civil Lines and Division E police stations.

He is indeed the one outstanding personality in the history of a civilization whose social life on the whole was 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short'. In his chosen field of intellectual activity he appears to have been inspired by no predecessors, and to have found no kindred souls among his contemporaries, and to have kindled no answering spark of inspiration in any successors ; and yet, in the Prolegomena (Muqaddimat) to his Universal History he has conceived and formulated a philosophy of history which is undoubtedly the greatest work of its kind that has ever yet been created by any mind in any time or place. It was his single brief 'acquiescence' from a life of practical activity that gave Ibn Khaldun his opportunity to cast his creative thought into literary shape.
A STUDY OR HISTORY. Vol. III. Arnold ]. Toynbee. Royal Institute of International Affairs and Oxford University Press. p. 321-322.
Ibn Khaldun is the most important figure in the field of History and Sociology in Muslim History. He is one of those shining stars that contributed so richly to the understanding of Civilization. In order for one to understand and appreciate his work, one must understand his life. He lived a life in search of stability and influence. He came from a family of scholars and politicians and he intended to live up to both expectations. He would succeed in the field of Scholarship much more so than in any other field.
He is Abdurahman bin Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Al-Hasan bin Jabir bin Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Abdurahman bin Ibn Khaldun. His ancestry according to him originated from Hadramut, Yemen. He also traced his ancestry through another genealogy as supplied by Ibn Hazem using his grandfather who was the first to enter Andalusia back to Wail ibn Hajar one of the oldest Yemenite tribe. In either case, the genealogy points to his Arab origin although scholars do question the authenticity of both reports due to the political climate at the time of these reports.
Ibn Khaldun was born in Tunis on Ramadan 1, 732 (May 27, 1332). He received a traditional education that was typical of his family's rank and status. He learned first at the hands of his father who was a scholarly person who was not involved in politics like his ancestors. He memorized the Qur'an by heart, learned grammar, Jurisprudence, Hadith, rhetoric, philology, and poetry. He had reached certain proficiency in these subjects and received certification in them. In his autobiography, he does mention the names these scholars.
He continued studies until the age of 19 when the great plague would sweep over the lands from Samarkand to Mauritania. It was after this plague that Ibn Khaldun would receive his first public assignment. This would start his political career that would forever change his life.
Ibn Tafrakin, the ruler of Tunis, called Ibn Khaldun to be the seal bearer of his captive Sultan Abu lshaq. It is here that Ibn Khaldun would get first hand look at the inner workings of court politics and the weakness of the government. It would not be long before he would get an opportunity to leave Tunis.
In 1352 (713 A. H.) Abu Ziad, the Emir of Constantine, marched his forces on Tunis. Ibn Khaldun accompanied Ibn Tafrakin with the forces that would ward off Abu Ziad's attacks. Tunis was defeated and Ibn Khaldun escaped to Aba, where he lived with al-Mowahideen. He would move back and forth through Algeria and settled in Biskra.
At that same time in Morocco Sultan Abu Enan, who had recently settled on the throne of his father, was on his way to conquer Algeria. Ibn Khaldun would travel to Tlemcen to meet the Sultan. Ibn Khaldun mentions that the Sultan honored him and sent him with his chamberlain Ibn Abi Amr to Bougie to witness its submission to Sultan Abu Enan.
Ibn Khaldun would stay in the company of the Chamberlain while the Sultan moved back to the capital, Fez. In 1354 (755 A.H.) Ibn Khaldun would accept the invitation to join the council of Ulama and would move to Fez. He would eventually be promoted to the post of the seal bearer and would accept it reluctantly, because it was inferior to the posts once occupied by his ancestors.
Ibn Khaldun would use his stay in Fez to further his studies. Fez at this time was a capital of Morocco and enjoyed the company of many scholars from all over North Africa and Andalusia. He was also being promoted from one position to another.
Ibn Khaldun was an ambitious young man and at this point of his life, he would begin to engage in court politics. Ibn Khaldun would conspire with Abu Abdullah Muhammad, the dethroned ruler of Bougie who was captive in Fez at that time. Abu Abdullah is from the Banu Hafs which were patrons of Ibn Khaldun's Family.
Sultan Abu Enan would find out about the conspiracy and would imprison Ibn Khaldun. Abu Abdullah would be released from prison and Ibn Khaldun would linger on for two years. Sultan Abu Enan would fall ill and die before fulfilling his promise to release Ibn Khaldun. The Wazir Al-Hassan ibn Omar ordered the release of Ibn Khaldun who was restored to his former position.
The political climate was tense and Ibn Khaldun would again test his fate and conspire against the Wazir with al-Mansur. This loyalty would be short lived too. He would conspire with Sultan Abu Salem who would overthrow Al-Mansur. Ibn Khaldun would get the position of Secretary and the repository of his confidence (Amin as-Sir).
Here Ibn Khaldun would excel in his position and would compose many poems. He would occupy this position for two more years and would then be appointed as the Chief Justice. He would show a great ability in this position. However due to constant rivalry between him and high officials he would lose favor with the Sultan.
However this would not matter because a revolt would take place and Sultan Abu Salem would be overthrown by Wazir Omar. Ibn Khaldun would side with the victorious and would get his post with higher pay. Ibn Khaldun was ambitious as ever and wanted a higher position, namely that of the Chamberlain. For reasons unknown, perhaps he was not trusted, he was refused. This upset him enough to resign his position. This in turn upset the Wazir. Ibn Khaldun would ask to leave Fez and go back to Tunisia and this request would be refused. It was then that he would ask the Wazir's son-in-law to intercede on his behalf to be allowed to go to Andalusia.
Sultan Muahmmad al-Ahmar, the king of Granada, was deposed by his brother Ismail who was supported by his brother-in-law. Sultan Muhammad was a friend of Sultan Abu Salem who helped him when he was deported to Andalusia by Sultan Abu Enan. When Sultan Abu Enan died and Sultan Abu Salem became the ruler that friendship was rekindled. Further when Ismail al-Ahmar was declared king of Granada in a place revolt, Sultan Muhammad took refuge in Morocco with Sultan Abu Salem. They were welcomed with great fanfare, Ibn Khaldun was present at the festivities. Among Sultan Muhammad's party was his wise Wazir Ibn al-Khatib who developed a close friendship with Ibn Khaldun.
Sultan Muhammad would attempt to restore his throne in Granada through an agreement with Pedro the cruel, the King of Castile. Pedro would delay the execution of the agreement upon hearing of Sultan Abu Salem death. Sultan Muhammad would appeal to Ibn Khaldun to get the assistance from Wazir Omar. Ibn Khaldun would use his influence to help him. Further Ibn Khaldun was entrusted to care for Sultan Muhammad's family in Fez. The Wazir would grant Sultan Muhammad Ronda and the surrounding country. Sultan Muhammad would continue his efforts and recapture his throne in 1361 (763 A. H.). He would recall his Wazir Ibn al-Khatib.
When the relationship between Ibn Khaldun would turn sour and uncertain he would turn towards Andalusia. He would be welcomed and honored well by Sultan Muhammad who admitted him to his private council. In the following year Sultan Muhammad would send Ibn Khaldun on an Ambassadorial mission to Pedro, the King of Castile. Ibn Khaldun would conclude and peaceful terms between them. Pedro would offer Ibn Khaldun a position in his service and to return to him his family's former estate at Castile. Ibn Khaldun would decline the offer.
Upon his return from Castile, Ibn Khaldun would offer Pedro's gift to him to the Sultan and in return, the Sultan would give him the Village of Elvira. Soon Ibn Khaldun would be restless once more and in the following year, he would receive an invitation from his friend Abu Abdullah, who had recaptured his throne at Bougie. Ibn Khaldun left Granada in 1364 (766 A.H.) for Bougie after asking permission to leave from Sultan Muhammad.
Ibn Khaldun would arrive in Bougie at the Age of 32 years. His plans have finally been realized. The period of imprisonment in Fez did not go to waste. He would enter the city as favorite guest. He would accept the position of Hajib for Emir Muhammad. This life of power would not last long as in the following year Abul Abbas would kill the Emir Muhammad, his cousin. Ibn Khaldun handed the city to him and retired to the city of Biskra. He would continue his political work in relaying the tribes to the service of this Emir or that Sultan. He would continue his practice of shifting loyalties as the times and opportunities afforded him. He would finally retire to a far outpost south of Constantine, fort Salama.
In Fort Salama he would enjoy this peaceful existence and would begin to write down his famous Muqqddimah and first version of his universal history at the age of forty-five years.
He would dedicate his work to the current Emir of Constantine, Sultan Abul Abbas. Tranquility did not last long with Ibn Khaldun, as he needed more reference works which were not available at this far outpost. He used the occasion of the Abul Abbas's conquest of Tunisia to go to Tunis. This would be the first time he would return to the town of his birth since leaving it over 27 years ago.
There would be political forces at work against him once more and this time before he would fall out of favor he would use a convenient occasion 1382 to leave North Africa behind never to return.
Ibn Khaldun was granted permission from Sultan Abul Abbas to go to Hajj. He arrived in Alexandria in October 1382 ( 15th Shabaan 784 A. H.) at the ripe age of 50. He spent a month preparing to leave for Hajj but was unable to join the Caravan bound for the Holy Lands. He turned towards Cairo instead. Here he wold live his final days. He was warmly welcomed by scholars and students. His fame for his writings had already preceded him. He lectured at Al-Azhar and other fine schools. He would get the chance to meet with Sultan az-Zahir Barquq who would appoint him to teach at the Kamhiah school.
He would enjoy the favors of the Sultan. He would be appointed as a Maliki Judge on the Sultans whim and anger. He would fare well and tried to fight corruption and favoritism. Again conspiracies against him would work its way and he would be relieved of this duty. His relief of duty would coincide with his family's disaster. The ship carrying his family and belongings would sink in a storm.
It was then that he would take permission to go to the Pilgrimage to the Holy Lands. He would return and be well received and appointed to a teaching position in the newly built school (Bein al-Qasrein) He would lecture in Hadith, particularly Imam Malik's Muwatta. He would then be appointed to Beibers Sufi institute with a generous salary. The state of affairs of Egypt would be disturbed as a rival of Sultan Barquq, Yulbugha would organize a successful revolt. Sultan Barquq would stage another revolt and would be restored to his former throne. Ibn Khaldun during this period would suffer and would have his position restored to him with the return of the victorious Sultan Barquq to Power.
Ibn Khaldun during this period would devote his time to lecturing and study as wellas to completing his Universal History. After Yulbugha's revolt, he would write about Asabiyah and its role in the rise and fall of states. He would apply his theory to the Egyptian theater since the time of Salah ad-Din.
After fourteen years since leaving the position of the Chief Maliki judge Ibn Khaldun would reassigned to the post upon the death of the presiding Judge. The state would again fall into disarray upon the death of Sultan Barquq's and his son's ascension. Ibn Khaldun would not be a party to these revolts and would ask permission to visit Jerusalem. He would join the Sultan Faraj's caravan on its way back from Damascus. Again due to political intrigue he would be relived of his duties as judge for the second time. This would not matter because he would be called to accompany the Sultan on perilous Journey with fate to Damascus.
During Ibn Khaldun's stay in Egypt he would be asked by Sultan Faraj of Egypt to accompany him on his expedition to Damascus. News reports have confirmed the movement of Tamerlane's war party towards Damascus. Sultan Faraj with his army were on their way to Damascus. It seems that Ibn Khaldun was asked firmly to accompany the Sultan to Damascus.
The Sultan would only stay for two weeks in Damascus, as he had to leave due to rumors that a revolt back in Cairo was in the works. Ibn Khaldun and some notables were left behind in Damascus. It was now up to the leaders of Damascus to deal with Tamerlane. Ibn Khaldun had suggested to them to consider the terms of Tamerlane. It was the task of another Qadi, Ibn Muflih, to discuss the terms with Tamerlane. When Ibn Muflih returned from Tamerlane's camp, the terms were not agreeable to the residents of Damascus.
Since it was the suggestion of Ibn Khaldun to come to terms with Tamerlane, Ibn Khaldun felt obliged to meet with Tamerlane personally. Ibn Khaldun would leave Damascus and go to the camp of Tamerlane. It is questionable whether he went on his own or in an official capacity. Ibn Khaldun took some gifts with him for Tamerlane and they were well received. Ibn Khaldun would stay in Tamerlane's camp for thirty-five days.
On Maghrib and Ibn Khaldun's Land of origin.
On predictions of things to come.
On amnesty and security "For Ibn Khaldun and his Companion."
On Ibn Khaldun's intention to stay with Tamerlane.
Ibn Khaldun impressed the conqueror enough to ask him to join his court. Some biographers have suggested that he did and written down his eloquent appeal to return to Egypt to settle his affairs, get his books and family and join Tamerlane. It however is more likely that Ibn Khaldun left on good terms with Tamerlane and have accomplished his mission of extracting favorable terms for the people of Damascus.
"Is there any generosity left beyond that which you have already shown me? You have heaped favors upon me, accorded me a place in your council among your intimate followers, and shown me kindness and generosity- which I hope Allah will repay to you in like measures."
Upon Ibn Khaldun's return to Egypt, he was restored as the Malikite Qadi. Due to the political situation within the community of Malikite Qadis Ibn Khaldun would be dismissed and reinstated three times during the five-year period. Finally, he died while he was in office on Wednesday March 17th 1406 (25th of Ramadan 808). He was buried in the Sufi Cemetery outside Bab an-Nasr, Cairo at the age of seventy-four years.
He would his write his Introduction to his book of universal history in a span of five months. This impressive document is a gist of his wisdom and hard earned experience. He would use his political and first had knowledge of the people of Maghrib to formulate many of his ideas. This document would summarize Ibn Khaldun's ideas about every field of knowledge during his day. He would discuss a variety of topics. He would discuss History and Historiography. He would rebuke some of the historical claims with a calculated logic. He would discuss the current sciences of his days. He would talk about astronomy, astrology, and numerology. He would discuss Chemistry, alchemy and Magic in a scientific way. He would freely offer his opinions and document well the "facts" of the other point of view. His discussion of Tribal societies and social forces would be the most interesting part of his thesis. He would illuminate the world with deep insight into the workings and makings of kingdoms and civilizations. His thesis that the conquered race will always emulate the conqueror in every way. His theory about Asbyiah (group feeling) and the role that it plays in Bedouin societies is insightful. His theories of the science of Umran (sociology) are all pearls of wisdom. His Introduction is his greatest legacy that he left for all of humanity and the generations to come.

AWFJ Women On Film – "Duplicity" – Joanna Langfield reviews
March 16, 2009 Joanna Langfield alliance of women film journalists, duplicity, joanna langfield, movie reviews, movies, women film critics, Women on Film
Wondering where those corporate earnings have been going to all these years? According to Tony Gilroy's "Duplicity," a whole lot of 'em have been pumped into some pretty nifty espionage, casting a suspicious eye not just on the other guy, but on a few insiders, too. His duplicitous script brings us into the game, also: as the plot bounces from year to year, we, the audience could be just as played as are the players on the screen.
And what players they are: Clive Owen and Julia Roberts, in her first leading role in several years, play the spys who're as sly as they are sexy. Meeting cute (it has to do with a deal gone haywire), the international veterans can't deny their erotic attraction. Assuming that means they're in love, off they plunge into a complicated set up that not only could pay off big time, if they can, considering their inherent suspicious natures, trust each other enough to see it through. The always wonderful Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson serve up dandy support as the business bigwigs whose hatred for one another just may keep their eyes off the real prize.
Gilroy, who wrote and directed, is no stranger to this genre: his Michael Clayton and scripts for the Bourne series offered up snappy, smart insights into the workings of complex business as well as some pretty neat spy stuff. And, while his male archtypes are impressively textured, his female characters are usually nicely drawn, too: remember Dolores Claiborne? So, it's no surprise Gilroy has created for Roberts a role worth leaving the house to play. Her Claire is a clear headed professional, a woman with a plan and she's intent on carrying it out. Things may not always go as planned, but Claire is no fool: at least she doesn't think so. Her self confidence, and the fact that she looks damned good in a trench coat, makes this one woman anyone over the age of twelve can enjoy. Of course, Roberts makes the most of this opportunity. Even in her more recent supporting turns, like in Charlie Wilson's War and Ocean's Twelve, the formerly pretty woman has made, it seems, a conscious decision to grow into an interesting woman. Who, it should be noted, is still very pretty. Good for her: and good for the movies. With track records like this, who knows? Maybe we'll see even more opportunities for actresses of "a certain age" to play the leads in big budget entertainments? Speaking of which, where's Renee Russo been lately? Can't somebody write something fun for her?
Ah, but I digress. This caper is really about Julia and Clive. Or is it? As the plot kept thickening, and the tides kept turning, and as I found myself becoming a little too aware that the story line might be too clever for its own good, I also found myself wondering: what would have this movie felt like had the two spys been played by, say Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey? Or even the former Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? The honest, easy affection that these real life couples brought to the screen could have made this smarty pants story a bit more fun. As it stands, this is an entertaining movie for adults, nothing that pierces the fourth wall of the screen and makes it truly memorable. But, what the heck: these days, a good entertaining movie for adults is a most welcome diversion.

Topeka, KS - The Commission will convene for a mock adjudicatory hearing focused on oil and gas issues from 10:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Monday, August 18, at the Kansas Corporation Commission Oil and Gas Conservation Division's offices, 266 N. Main Street, Suite 220, Wichita, Kansas.
The Commission is pleased to partner with Washburn Law School to provide a unique learning opportunity on the regulation of oil and gas," stated Chair Shari Feist Albrecht. Oil and gas is one of the leading industries in the Kansas economy and it is important that we provide educational opportunities to ensure that our regulatory structure continues to protect correlative rights and prevents waste of our oil and gas resources."
Washburn Law School Professor David Pierce, commenting on the course, stated: "Dean Romig and the Washburn Law faculty are delighted to join with the Commission, its staff, and attorneys to take the classroom to the hearing room. The ability to be taught by the legal and technical staff that comprises the agency they will be practicing before as lawyers, and the ability to be instructed by the very lawyers who engage in that practice today, is invaluable. It also allows students to observe first hand career paths they may want to pursue."
At the mock hearing, the attorneys and witnesses to a prior completed proceeding before the Commission will re-enact the litigation process and the presentation of evidence. The proceeding was a contested application for a location exception that demonstrates the use of expert testimony to establish essential geological and engineering facts required to support a Commission decision.
The mock hearing is part of a three day Oil and Gas Conservation Law and Practice course being offered through a partnership with Washburn Law School. The course examines the statutes and regulations administered by the Conservation Division of the Kansas Corporation Commission, and the laws and practices that have developed around the Kansas program. Students will work directly with the Conservation Division's legal and technical personnel, oil and gas conservation law practitioners, and observe first-hand the Division's operations.
Professor Pierce is the Director of the Washburn Oil and Gas Law Center and the Norman R. Pozez Chair in Business and Transactional Law.


The Kansas City Royals started their six game road trip last night in Minnesota with a game against the Twins. The Royals were hoping for a good start from their Cy Young winning pitcher Zack Greinke. That would not be the case, as Greinke struggled and the Royals were pounded by the Twins 10-3.
Greinke would only give up two runs over his five innings of work, but a 27 pitch first inning was a sign of his night. He would finish the game by having the same number of walks and strikeouts, five. Greinke does not have a win yet this season.
At the time Greinke was lifted, the score was only 2-1, but that would change quickly as the Twins would get two in the fifth and another in the sixth.
The big blow from Minnesota would be in the eighth as the Royals bullpen of Robinson Tejada and Juan Cruz imploded and gave up five runs.
Yuniesky Betancourt would hit a home run for the Royals in the fifth, and would drive in another run in the ninth. A David DeJesus triple and a Billy Butler single would add another run in the sixth.
Game two of the series is this afternoon as Gil Meche gets the ball for the Royals against the Twins Nick Blackburn. Game time is 12:10.

By Michael Hunt
Duke associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski has been hired as Marquette's new basketball coach.
The school introduced Wojciechowski (pronounced wo-ju-HOW-skee) as Marquette's 17th coach in the school's 97-year history of men's basketball at a 2 p.m. news conference.
"I am honored to take the lead of this program and build it to amazing heights," he said. "It just felt right."
Wojciechowski replaces Buzz Williams, who resigned March 21 to become the head coach at Virginia Tech.
Wojciechowski has been with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski for 19 years, four as point guard and 15 as an assistant. He was part of two national titles at Duke and assisted Krzyzewski at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics.
"We were looking for someone who could take us to our vision of getting us to the top," interim athletics director Bill Cords said. "Steve has been to the top."
Marquette also considered Virginia Commonwealth coach Shaka Smart, former UCLA coach Ben Howland and Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin for the job.
Coach Wojo, as he is known to his players, said he had chances to leave Duke before but chose to stay until he found the perfect fit.
"The last 24 hours have been a whirlwind of emotions," he said. "But I kept coming back to the fact that just just felt right.
"Why (leave Duke) now? Because I think Marquette is the perfect place for me and my family. Like Duke, Marquette is basketball-first school. There are not of schools out there like that."
Much to the returning players' delight, Wojciechowski said he will feature aggressive defense to create offense and an offense that will get up and down the floor.
"That's how kids want to play," he said.
He also flashed a sense of humor.
"Coach K told me I could get better Polish food in MIlwaukee than Durham, North Carolina," he said.
And of his name, he said, "You won't be graded on spelling."
The hiring of Wojciechowski fits Marquette's general profile. Including Wojciechowski, four of Marquette's last five coaches have been assistant coaches, including three from high-profile schools: Kevin O'Neill from Arizona, Tom Crean from Michigan State and Wojciechowski from Duke. Williams was promoted from Marquette's staff after Crean went to Indiana.
After meeting with Marquette's players, Wojciechowski's first job will be to make sure the four incoming signees honor the scholarships they signed last November with Marquette while Williams was still the head coach.
Like Williams, Wojciechowski is expected to bring a high level of energy to a program that went 17-15 this season and missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nine years.
"He's like a fireball of energy," said former Duke player Casey Sanders. "It's really hard to describe. He expects us to be alert and alive at all times, and he pumps it into everything we do."
Wojciechowski, known for slapping the floor from his defensive position as a player, exudes the same energy as a coach. He's also regarded as an excellent communicator.
For example, Krzyzewski gave his local radio show to Wojciechowski and allows him to do many halftime TV interviews. Such work prepped Wojciechowski for eventual time as a head coach.
Although Wojciechowski had been approached for jobs in the past, Marquette's was the first he pursued. While he might be among any of Krzyzewski's assistants who might pursue the Duke job when Krzyzewski retires, the 67-year-old Coach K recently announced he'll be at Duke for at least another five years.
At Duke, the 5-foot-11 Wojciechowski worked with big men until Jeff Capel, former Virginia Commonwealth and Oklahoma coach, returned to his alma mater as an assistant three years ago. Since then, Capel took over the big men and Wojciechowski was giving responsibility for developing Duke's guards.
Two of Krzyzewski's assistants experienced success in the current NCAA Tournament, Johnny Dawkins at Stanford and Tommy Amaker at Harvard.
"You are getting a great young coach," Dawkins said. "I'm absolutely confident he'll be successful. Marquette is going to love him."
Wojciechowski is the second Duke assistant to receive a major-college job in the last two years. Chris Collins just finished his first season at Northwestern.
Following a decorated career as a Duke point guard, Wojciechowski graduated in 1998 and spent time playing professional basketball in Poland before returning to Duke. In 1999 he was an intern in the Duke Management Company and a sideline analyst for the Duke Radio Network's coverage of the Blue Devil basketball program. He then joined Krzyzewski's staff.
In his last three years as a Duke player, Wojciechowski had major role in the resurgence of the basketball team. Afer the Blue Devils went 13-18 his freshman year, Wojciechowski helped lead the program to a 74-26 record over the next three seasons.

Well done to Henry, Joshua, Megan, Sasha and Ruby for designing and making two new bird boxes with Mr J in today's LOTC (learning outside the classroom) workshop - 08/03/19. Super angle and measuring in Maths, plus outstanding team work. Let's hope some clever robins in our School's Learning Garden move in soon.
- used their imagination to create a beautiful natural piece of art.
- designed and created clay tree masks.
- In outdoor Maths, learned how to find the height of a very tall tree without climbing it! They simply used triangles.
- Developed more team building skills.
Thank you to Mr J who has opened up a wonderful new avenue to learning at St Nicholas.

Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands' graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife's grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They are guilt-stricken when this nearly breaks Ida's heart.

Since the 1990's, we have worked as volunteers and actively supported Veterans and their families through Veteran organizations, hospitals and outreach programs. In 2012, a group of business, civic, religious leaders and veterans representatives from various organizations came together as a grass roots movement to reach out to veterans in need. Out of that meeting, Open Hands Outreach Program was formed. We are a 501(c) 3 non-profit, faith-based organization with a Focus on helping Veterans get the benefits they earned and the services they need. While our Focus is on veterans our outreach is to our community at large.

WikiLeaks, Russia, Trump Jr. named in new DNC hacking lawsuit
The Democratic National Committee has sued Russia, WikiLeaks, the Trump campaign, and a number of other individuals and organizations that the political party believes were affiliated with the now-infamous 2016 hack, whose perpetrators managed to spirit away internal research about then-candidate Donald Trump, as well as private e-mail and messages.
The operation to pilfer vast caches of data, much of which was then published by WikiLeaks, was believed to have been orchestrated by the highest levels of the Russian government.
"It's pretty serious—it's more than a shot over the bow, it's a shot into the hull of the ship," David Bowker, a Washington DC, attorney, told Ars.
The lawsuit alleges that Russia, its GRU intelligence service, the Trump campaign, and various allies—including Donald Trump, Jr.—were all part of a "conspiracy" to "promote Donald Trump's candidacy through illegal means." The president himself is not a named co-defendant.
"As stolen DNC information was strategically released into the public sphere, then-candidate Trump openly praised the illegal disseminations and encouraged Russia to continue its violations of US law through its ongoing hacking campaign against the Democratic party," the civil complaint, which was filed Friday in federal court in Manhattan, stated.
DNC lawyers say that the attack against the party began in June 2015, just weeks after Trump declared himself a candidate for president.
If successful, the DNC might stand to be awarded some money (perhaps millions of dollars) as part of a judgement or settlement. However, its primary aims may actually be to seek new communications between the co-defendants that may shed some light on this alleged conspiracy. Such materials could be released as part of the civil discovery process.
Attorneys representing the DNC, including Michael Eisenkraft, did not immediately respond to Ars' request for comment.
Trump himself wrote:
Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats. This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Wendy Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2018
Brad Parscale, the campaign manager for Trump's 2020 re-election bid, told the that the lawsuit was a "sham…filed by a desperate, dysfunctional and nearly insolvent Democratic Party."
As he continued on Twitter:
How would you describe the DNC and their last-ditch effort to revive the witch hunt with a lawsuit?
Sham, bogus, corrupt, desperate, frivolous…
— Brad Parscale (@parscale) April 20, 2018
The DNC's case claims that numerous American laws were violated, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and more.
Foreign governments typically have "sovereign immunity" against American lawsuits, if they even bother to formally respond to the case. The DNC argues, however, that this immunity does not apply because the hack was, in effect, a "trespass" on DNC property.
It may be difficult to formally serve the foreign individuals named in the lawsuit—who include former Trump business partners Aras Agalarov and his son Emin, and a Maltese academic named Joseph Mifsud.
Scott Balber, an attorney for the Agalarovs, told the that the DNC's allegations about his clients were "frivolous" and "a publicity stunt."
WikiLeaks also seemed to believe that it would be able to fend off the lawsuit.
Comment on DNC "lawsuit": DNC already has a moribund publicity lawsuit which the press has became bored of–hence the need to refile it as a "new" suit before mid-terms. As an accurate publisher of newsworthy information @WikiLeaks is constitutionally protected from such suits.
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) April 20, 2018
However, the US-based co-defendants have a harder time deflecting such legal pressure.
That group includes two former Trump advisors—Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos—who already pleaded guilty as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the election.
"It's possible that [the plaintiffs] could get a reasonable amount of discovery against some of the defendants," Bowker continued.
"If they're able to survive a motion to dismiss at the outset of the case I suspect they would be very interested in whatever discovery they could get. That could make the administration look bad, and they could also be interested in what else the Russians are working on, and you could see that discovery being useful to them."
Another attorney, Max Kennerly, told Ars that the United States government itself could move to intervene and halt the lawsuit in the name of its own diplomatic interest.
In other words, it's not a done deal that the DNC will even be able to get any meaningful information.
"Everything has to come up Milhouse for them to get money and the answers," he said. "There's a plausible path to getting discovery about these matters."

Frank Prevett (b.1904): Home and Family
James Coupar March 8, 2018 Frank Prevett B.1904, Home & Family
For the most part Frank's memoir does not go into much detail into his family life. Most of his memoir goes into detail regarding his work. [See Purpose and Audience], although, he does provide some insight into his family dynamic during his childhood and adult life.
Withyham Station – Frank's father was stationmaster from 1910 until 1917
Frank briefly discusses his father's placements and in turn where he spent his childhood. From his birth up until 1910 they lived in Brighton, until his father secured a stationmaster position at Withyham. In 1917 they moved to Berwick, Sussex and this was his father's last move as he refused any further promotions and stayed here until his retirement in 1938. Frank discusses wages that railwaymen received at the beginning of the 20th century. He writes that 'payment for working on a Sunday was unheard of and the weekly wage for all railwaymen was for a seven day week, the daily hours depending on circumstances but seldom under twelve hours' (6). Following Frank's fifth birthday, his father was promoted to stationmaster at Lewes. Frank writes that 'his [father's] weekly wage rose to 31/6d, and I have never been able to understand how my mother was to feed us and cloth a family on such a wage' (7).
Frank notes the differences between his parent's generation and his own, notably that 'food prices were very different from those of today and most of our clothing was home made until we were many years older' (7-8). Frank adds that he is 'sure it is almost impossible for the present-day generation to imagine how our parents existed without wireless, television, washing machines and the many other considered necessities of the homes of today' (7-8). This is an interesting element to Frank's memoir as generations prior to contemporary society have also wondered how generations managed to exist without the necessities that were created during their adult life. It is interesting to see the progress of working class life from the early 20th century, to mid-20th century and being able to compare that with what we know from living in the 21st century.
Buckhurst Park, Withyham
Frank does acknowledge his social status. During his early adolescence in Withyham he notes that 'we did have some insight into the life of the upper-class folk of those days. I can clearly remember the weekend house parties at the large country estate, Buckhurst Park, with the arrival by train of many important people and their vast amount of luggage' (9). Frank is aware of his social standing and that the role of a stationmaster did not pay well. The family values that he holds in high regard come from the way his parents maintained their household on a small wage and these values are demonstrated when Frank becomes the head of his household.
Frank recalls Easter Monday of 1927 as it turned out to be one of the most important days of his life. Frank 'decided at the last moment to attend the local wedding reception. Fate must have played some part for [him] in these changes of plans' (36-37). Florence was one of the first people to greet him at the reception and after taking as many opportunities to dance with her he 'found sufficient courage to try and make a date for the following weekend… After a few days I received an acceptance for that first date, little realising that this was certainly the most important mile stone in my life' (36-37). Following this meeting he discusses his attitude towards this relationship and notes that he did not appreciate her and nearly broke this relationship off on more than one occasion. In his memoir he thanks members of his family who advised him to pursue the relationship and not break it off which Frank was compelled to do on more than once occasion. In hindsight Frank admits that it would have been the biggest mistake of his life. Florence supported Frank through every aspect of his career on the railway. Florence had to deal with several moves, having the family setting being disrupted at all hours of the day due to incidents that occurred at the station. Frank is eternally grateful for Florence's devotion to him and as previously mentioned is why he dedicated the memoir to her.
'In the spring of 1933 my wife and I were blessed with the arrival of twin sons… [The doctors] were equally surprised after the birth of Peter in having to announce the birth of another. With twelve hours interval between their arrival… John it was' (45). Following the birth of his sons any discussion detailing the family dynamic is often in relation to life on the railway and discussion of the family is kept to his immediate family. Significant family events are described in minute detail, due to the focus being kept on his career. The most prominent examples of this are when his daughters-in-law give birth to his grandchildren. He does not mention that they are pregnant or how they are during the pregnancy just that they have given birth. Often, he does not refer to the child's name until after the christening, but this can be put down to Frank's strong faith. Having said this, Frank does discuss the relationship of his sons and their wives. He details how they met, the circumstances before their engagement, their eventual wedding and following the birth of his grandchildren he discusses how this effects their family dynamic. Frank is heavily involved with his family and is clearly devoted to them. However, Frank chooses to focuses the vast majority of his memoir on his life on the railway.

I like Vigo a lot and would totally recommend it for a visit. The hilly urban landscape reminds me of my hometown, Sheffield, but the difference is that at the bottom of the slope there is a huge port on a wide river estuary, and consequently lots of good seafood. In fact it's the biggest fishing port in Spain and incredibly, given its size, the second largest market for fish in the world after Tokyo. The Spanish consider Galician seafood to be the best and a lot of the good stuff is put on the overnight train to Madrid and other inland cities.
Whichever way you approach Vigo one of the first things you will notice are the lines of square rafts floating in the estuary. These are mussel platforms, called Bateas, where the mussels grow on strings suspended below the raft. The symbol of the city, and the whole of Galicia, is the scallop which features everywhere, from manhole covers to dinner plates.
The weather in this Atlantic coastal town is quite English with cloudy skies most of the time but luckily no rain at all during the four days I was there. In fact I timed it quite well and arrived on a sunny weekend when the temperature was only three degrees off the local record.
Making the most of our Sunday off, two of us decided to catch the catamaran ferry to the Islas de Cies.
These small islands are a nature reserve but there are several public beaches and a camping site if you want to stay a while.
The largest beach has been named as one of the top ten in the world which obviously you should take with a pinch of salt but it is certainly is a beautiful spot.
Back in town, there is a long parade of bars and restaurants along the seafront on Montero Rios St. None of them are gourmet places but the key thing is you can sit outside and catch a cool breeze while watching the world go by.
The 'old town' on Teofilo Llorente with its recently modernised oyster bars with picture menus, is on a parallel street to the seafront. It all looked a bit cheap and nasty and there wasn't any breeze so we gave it a miss. However there will always be something open down here on a Sunday in both these areas when the rest of town is closed.
This was my favourite eatery in Vigo due to the multi-cultural atmosphere , brightly coloured decor and very friendly service. The food is international with lots of world cuisine but they serve local dishes too and it's all pretty good.
To start myself and my friend Bernard shared a starter of small local scallops which were very good (B+).
To follow the Albondigas with plain rice which looked bland but was just what I wanted (B+).
The dessert of local crepe with sugar and lemon was ok but nothing special (C).
The star (A) however was the Señorio de los Rubios Condado 2010 white wine, from bodegas Coto Redondo, a blend of four grapes (Treixdouro, Albarino, Godello and Loureiro), from the Rias Baixas DO (sadly sold out on the net, next year!).
I wouldn't recommend the clear aguardente though which although complementary would have been better employed as paint stripper (D).
So, a reasonable place to come for warm service, a bright friendly atmosphere great wine and good food.
A strange old-school little spot just around the corner from the hotel. It seems to be a one-man operation with the waiter doubling up as the cook. Dishes are either served cold or reheated in a microwave. Sounds like a recipe for disaster but the food is actually pretty ok tasting and very cheap. I had Mejillones (al Vapor) which were plump and juicy but served cold (C+).
These were followed by Vieiras, a grilled scallop served Galician style in a sauce of onions, garlic, onion, parsley and fine breadcrumbs.
Still feeling hungry I went for the Ternera Estofado, veal stew with chips on the side, which was excellent (A).
The house Albarino was also good. Total cost only €25.
An old school place described by the Cadogan guide as "the people's choice" but in reality the preserve of the besuited classes. It is indeed "classic" in that it serves good quality ingredients in a traditional way, but I found the food to be bland and nondescript. First off: Mejillones (al Vapor), twenty steamed local mussels, served naked but for a slice of lemon, for the princely sum of €13 (B-). A lot given the short distance they had to travel from the waterfront, but presumably you're paying for the chef to go to the fish market at 5 a.m. to get the good stuff.
Next I ordered Calamares, dreaming perhaps of a lightly grilled squid drizzled in olive oil in the Italian style, but sadly I received the usual deep fried rubbery rings in batter that you can get in any bar, albeit better quality and for €12. There was a lot of them which, without the help of a fellow diner, started to make me feel slightly nauseous half way through.
Finally, a slice of Tarta de Almandreas (spelling?), which was the usual uninspiring dry slab of cake I'm used to in Spain (B-), but almond flavoured this time. To go with this, two chupitos of good quality (B+) Orujo des Hierbas, which in more customer-friendly places would have been free, but I was charged €3 each. The only saving grace was the preceding 'Valtea' Albarino, perhaps one of the best I have ever had (A).
The septuagenarian service was kind but a bit slow to give me any attention and I had to get the menu myself after a long wait while they chatted with other customers. I judge the attitude of a place a lot by the way they take your money and the teller (owner?) didn't even look me in the eye while he parted €51 from me. I wouldn't go again and I'd recommend you don't either, unless there's more of one of you and you both like bland seafood. Apparently the lamb is good though.
This is a great hotel, located near the train station and just ten minutes walk from the waterfront. The rooms (€75 for a double) are modern and spacious and have free Wi-Fi, but no English channels on the TV. The breakfast is comprehensive and served to a subdued soundtrack of ambient Drum & Bass. The water out of the tap smells and tastes pretty horrible but I guess that's not their fault. Lovely staff here as in their other branch in A Coruna. Overall it gets a like.
Get a room on one of the top floors facing the street for some stunning views of the estuary and surrounding hills, or get the key from reception and go to the top floor terrace for the same.

Konrad Poprawa (born 4 June 1998) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Śląsk Wrocław.

Football

Early years

Poprawa started playing football in his early years with GKS Ksawerów, Ksawerów being a small village close to the city of his birth, Łódź. He joined GKS in 2009 at the age of 11, staying there until 2014 when he joined ŁKS Łódź. Poprawa played at ŁKS for two seasons playing with the under 19's team. Over the course of these two seasons he made 28 appearances in the Junior Leagues. Poprawa's big move came when he joined Śląsk Wrocław in 2016, who were playing in the top Polish division. In his first season with Śląsk, he played 15 games and scored 4 goals for the under 19's team, while also playing 9 times for the Śląsk second team in the III liga, scoring one goal.

Senior career

Poprawa's senior debut came in 2017 for the Ekstraklasa game against Wisła Płock, helping the team to a convincing 4-1 win. He made a further two first team appearances for Śląsk in the 2017-18 season, being an unused substitute for the remaining games of the spring round.

For the 2018-19 season, Poprawa joined Wigry Suwałki in the I liga on loan for the season. After failing to get any game time in the first months, the loan was terminated, with Poprawa joining Skra Częstochowa on loan for the rest of the season. Skra played in the II liga for the 2018-19 season, but Poprawa struggled to break into the first team playing only 11 games, the majority of which came after the winter break.
