St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame has had an exciting few months
Busy! That's what the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame has been the past few months or so.
No sooner had the group inducted 15 more performers into its Shrine, when it turned around and added another famous St. Louis athlete to its list of enshrinees, bringing to 102 the number of those inducted into the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame.
First off, the group held it's Enshrinement dinner before a gathering of some 900 spectators on September 24, at the Renaissance Grand Hotel in downtown St. Louis. The diverse Class of 2014 included celebrities from major league baseball to volleyball to the media to coaches and athletic directors.
"It's amazing how many players have been associated with St. Louis, either as a player, coach, official or just been on the local sports scene," said Greg Marecek, the founder and president of the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame. "We've inducted more than 100 into our Shrine, and the list of our sixth class this year is about as strong as the first class we inducted."
Indeed the list of those inducted in September reads like a who's who.
Former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and Major League Hall of Famer Orlando "Cha Cha" Cepeda was on hand as was defensive back Aeneas Williams, who played on the St. Louis Rams' Super Bowl championship team and who was recently inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Although she made her mark nationally at Stanford University, St. Louis area-born Kristin Folk Kaburakis accepted her plaque for her outstanding career in both basketball and volleyball with the Cardinal. Dan Kelly, perhaps the best-ever hockey announcer who made the National Hockey League come alive with the Blues, was awarded his plaque posthumously with his family accepting the award.
The entire list of awardees:
Orlando Cepeda, Baseball Dan Kelly, Media Connie Price Smith, Track
Al Ferrari, Basketball Gus Otto, Football Harry Statham, Basketball
Gene Gieselmann, Sports Medicine Bob Plager, Hockey Brian Sutter, Hockey
Ed Hightower, Official John Schael, Athletic Director Taylor Twellman, Soccer
Todd Joerling, Softball Aeneas Williams, Football
Kristin (Folkl) Kaburakis, Basketball/Volleyball
No sooner had that dinner ended when Marecek and Co. was planning for the induction of quarterback Kurt Warner, who directed the St. Louis Rams to victory in Super Bow XXXIV, at a luncheon Oct. 13 at the downtown Missouri Athletic Club.
Warner, who played in three Super Bowls (one with the Arizona Cardinals), was ushered into the St. Louis Shrine with the help of two of his former coaches with the Rams – head coach Dick Vermeil and offensive line coach Jim Hanifan. The two coaches joined Warner on the podium for a question and answer session from Marecek and historical consultant Ron Jacober.
But the tireless work of the St. Louis Hall of Fame has already begun work on its next project … the induction of Gary Player, who won the United States Open golf championship in 1965 at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis in a dramatic playoff.
Player is one of only five golfers in history to win the career Grand Slam of golf – the others are golf's all-time greats Gene Sarazan, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Player's dramatic victory is credited with catapulting St. Louis into the national spotlight picture for the PGA tour.
Other legends of golf are expected to be on hand when Player is inducted on Monday, April 27.

Court decision prevents unstudied fracking in Santa Fe National Forest
By Emily Bowie June 16, 2018 Climate Change, Oil & Gas
Two years ago, we and our partners challenged the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on the leasing of 20,000 acres in the Santa Fe National Forest to oil and gas drilling. At that point, the BLM hadn't (and still hasn't) updated their management plan in 12 years even though fracking technologies drastically changed in that time.
This week, in a huge win, the courts ruled that the BLM failed to (1) quantify and address the full impacts of oil and gas emissions on people and the environment and (2) analyze the water impacts of this drilling on a drought stricken region. They sent them back to the drawing board to try again.
Below is the full Press Release.
For Immediate Release, May 4, 2016
SANTA FE, NM — In a victory for New Mexico's air, climate, and water, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico today rejected a 2015 oil and gas lease sale covering 19,788 acres of oil and gas leases on the Santa Fe National Forest. The Bureau of Land Management failed to quantify the full life cycle of emissions from oil and gas, including their indirect and cumulative effects on people and the environment. Likewise, the BLM failed to analyze the water quantity impacts of fracking a region currently suffering extraordinary drought that has closed the forest to public use altogether. The court sent the leases back to the BLM and U.S. Forest Service, which must now perform a true analysis of fracking impacts on the Santa Fe National Forest.
"The law requires the government to look before they leap into fracking on our public lands, which includes an honest look at how the continued exploitation of oil and gas will impact our climate and future generations" said Kyle Tisdel of the Western Environmental Law Center. "This decision rejects the rubber stamp mentality of our public land managers on the Santa Fe National Forest, even as the government continues to approve unstudied fracking throughout New Mexico's Greater Chaco region."
"We are happy with the court's decision that supports our assertion that federal agencies are failing to adequately uphold environmental protections intended to ensure the health of the land, people and cultural landscapes on public lands," said Carol Davis of Diné Citizens Against Ruining Our Environment.
"With the Santa Fe National Forest being targeted for fracking, it's clear the oil and gas industry believes there is no place sacred in the American Southwest," said Jeremy Nichols with WildEarth Guardians. "With our climate and our future at stake, we're pleased the court agrees we can't blindly sacrifice our public lands for fossil fuel extraction."
Citizens and organizations submitted more than a hundred protest letters opposing the lease sale, which perpetuates a dangerous pattern of federal agencies erroneously relying on the 15-year-old Farmington RMP to facilitate a rush to frack New Mexico's Mancos Shale without proper environmental analysis. BLM is currently writing an amendment to the RMP to reflect these new technologies—admitting that the 2003 RMP is obsolete.
Horizontal wells have double the surface impact (5.2 acres) of vertical wells (2 acres) and emit over 250 percent more air pollution, including toxic volatile organic compounds and greenhouse gases. Horizontal wells also require 5-10 times more water – a significant concern in the arid Southwest.
Horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracking use hundreds of thousands of gallons of highly pressurized water and toxic chemicals to shatter underground geology. This toxic cocktail includes known carcinogens and chemicals harmful to human health. If a wellbore is not properly sealed and cased, or its integrity is otherwise compromised, these chemicals can escape as they move through the wellbore, risking groundwater contamination.
"The Bureau of Land Management is the agency that oversees oil and gas leasing on these parcels of the Santa Fe National Forest. The judge's decision affirms that BLM has ignored significant adverse impacts known to occur from oil and gas development in their quest to approve new oil and gas projects," said Mike Eisenfeld, Energy and Climate Program manager of San Juan Citizens Alliance.
"Today's ruling sends a strong message that this administration cannot ignore the effects on water, climate, and communities in their reckless attempts to sell off America's public lands to the fossil fuel industry," said Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter Director Camilla Feibelman. "We will continue to fight to prevent BLM from allowing any new fracking in the Greater Chaco region."
"Unwise oil and gas development in our headwaters can destroy key water resources – such as high priority wetlands – and puts the future water supply for downstream New Mexico communities and ecosystems at risk," said Rachel Conn, projects director for Amigos Bravos. "Instead of being ripped up for short term profits, the headwaters found in the Santa Fe National Forest should be maintained so they continue to provide water for wildlife, agriculture, and families."
The groups involved in the lawsuit include the San Juan Citizens Alliance, Diné Citizens Against Ruining Our Environment, Amigos Bravos, WildEarth Guardians, and the Sierra Club. The challenged leases would have expanded oil and gas drilling and fracking into previously undeveloped areas of the Santa Fe National Forest on the remote and steep west side of the Jemez Mountains north of Cuba and near the San Pedro Parks Wilderness.

I lost my job. Actually it lost me. Over educated. Under skilled. Maybe it's the other way round. I forget. But I'm obsolete. I'm not economically viable. I can't even support my own kid.
Listening to Michael Douglas' character in the 1993 movie Falling Down describe his lot in life, it's hard not to make comparisons between the context of the film, set at the end of the early 90s recession, and current times. Douglas' character is in his late 30s, has lost his job and suffers a melt down.
In Canada, half a million employees were expected to lose their job last year. That's a sizable amount considering the total population isn't much over 30 million. Retirement can be particularly tough on men as they are often defined strongly by their careers. Similarly, what effects does a job loss have on the employee's sense of self? Not only does the employee lose a main part of his/her identity, but now it has become difficult to simply provide for the family and children.
The movie Falling Down is an extreme representation of what can go wrong. As grim as the plot is, it is worth watching this film at a time when most of us have either lost our own job, know someone who has lost a job or know someone whose job has been significantly affected by the economic downturn.
Budget 2008 Breaks Middle Class Britain (article written before the financial collapse of late 2008) Professional jobs in financial services will be first hit by the chill wind, but it won't be the megastars at the top of the banks and hedge funds who have to worry about keeping up with the school fees when life in the stockbroker belt starts to get harder. Tens of thousands of middle-income professionals face greater economic uncertainty than at any time since the early 1990s.

CD Review: The Whigs "In the Dark"
(ATO)
"Hundred/Million" comes roaring out of the speakers (or headphones) like a train already building a full head of steam on the strength of Julian Dorio's locomotive drumming and Tim Deaux's buzzing bass line, with Parker Gispert's fuzz guitar and high, plaintive voice wailing a warning to clear the way for The Whigs' third studio album, "In the Dark."
That highballing opener pretty much sets the pace for the 10 tracks that follow, from the titanic twang and full-throttle rhythm of the raucous first single, "Kill Me Carolyne," through the wall of distortion and steamy sexual tension of "Someone's Daughter" and the restless lover's lament, "So Lonely," which resembles Foo Fighters-style melody and anguish without the production polish.
This Athens, Ga.-based threesome is also capable of slowing things down for a bit of introspection, especially on the spooky, cymbal-splashed, acoustic-electric rumination "Dying" and the bitter self-admonition of the midtempo "I Don't Even Care About the One I Love."
The soaring harmonies and hummable melody of "Automatic" come about as close to a potential mainstream radio hit as The Whigs will ever get, while the band still maintains its galvanizing edge, and the title cut finds indie's premier power trio at its anthemic best. With Gispert allowing his rhythm section a larger role in the songwriting process this time out, and producers Ben H. Smith (Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective), Jay Joyce (Cage the Elephant) and Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon) taking turns at the boards, this is the best studio Whigs gig yet.

KLOS Radio Personality Uncle Joe Benson Helps House Research Institute Get the Word out on Healthy Hearing to NAMM Attendees
By Hummingbird Media
Los Angeles – January 9, 2012 — As part of its 2012 NAMM Winter Show activities, the House Research Institute (HRI) [NAMM booth 1292, Hall E] will host special guest Uncle Joe Benson of Los Angeles' KLOS radio on Saturday, January 21st from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Anaheim Convention Center. The popular radio announcer and entertainer will be on hand to greet booth attendees while discussing the importance of maintaining healthy hearing and hearing loss protection.
Since 1980, Uncle Joe's voice has been heard by millions of listeners across Southern California, and his "Off The Record" music/interview program is syndicated on over 90 stations nationwide. As a radio personality on KLOS, his broadcasts reach nearly three million people across southern California.
KLOS has been serving the greater Los Angeles area for over 40 years, and has also made a positive impact through its continued community outreach efforts. The station still owns the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest blood drive in the country and was presented the Crystal Award for its exemplary community service.
"Healthy hearing is a topic that deserves much broader attention — especially within the music community," commented Uncle Joe. "This year at NAMM, we are happy to help put the spotlight on the topic of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) to educate folks not only on how fragile our hearing is, but also on the measures we can take to protect it and preserve it."
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is usually painless, progressive, permanent, and completely preventable. It happens when a person is exposed for too long of a time to sound pressure levels of 85 decibels or more, resulting in damage to the sensorineural ("hair") cells of the inner ear. It can be the result of exposing your ears to a sudden, intense impulse noise like an explosion or gunfire or extended or repeated exposure to loud machinery and recreational activities, such as loud music and video.
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), 36 million American adults report some degree of hearing loss; an estimated 26 million of them between the ages of 20 and 69 have a high-frequency hearing loss caused by too much exposure to loud sound.

Latino Public Broadcasting Presents Ode to Pablo in The 2019 PBS Online Film Festival
BELatina Daily
Photo Credit PBS Film
The PBS Online Film Festival is running now through next Friday, July 26th, an annual event that showcases short films from across the web that express a broad range of American narratives and perspectives. Latino Public Broadcasting has partnered with filmmaker and self-described "two spirit Xicana lesbiana artista" Adelina Anthony, for her short film Ode to Pablo. Anthony wore many hats for Ode to Pablo, working on the 12-minute film as a director, writer, and producer.
"This is our third collaboration with Adelina," said Sandie Viquez Pedlow, Executive Director of LPB, in a statement. "[Her] films are truly original, with a sly, offbeat storytelling style, and they offer a fresh look at people rarely seen on screen."
Pablo, the protagonist of the film, is a young, queer, and deaf Afro-Latino, an embodiment of intersectional identity and marginalization. In a chance encounter, a small group of boys invite him to join a game of pickup at a public basketball court. After shooting hoops for a bit, he and one of the boys end up making a connection, finding common grown in their disparate experiences. Ode to Pablo is one of 25 films that are part of the festival.
A panel of eight jury members, representing a range of experiences and perspectives, will decide which film receives the Juried Prize at the end of the festival. Viewers can also cast their votes for a film once every 24 hours. Those votes will be tallied to determine who wins the honor of People's Choice Award. Anthony worked as the executive producer for the People's Choice Award winner Gold Star, a short film from 2016 that explores homophobia and rejection.
Anthony has consistently been producing work that evokes overlooked and undervalued narratives, something that hasn't always lent itself to production. That's part of the reason why she co-founded AdeRisa Productions. She emphasized in an interview with PBS that in the absence of unlimited or at least ideal funding for projects, filmmakers can still achieve their goals if they build a team of colleagues that they trust. She also reassured young filmmakers that good stories are always worth making because they will eventually be heard. "I would tell my younger self to keep studying the craft of film, especially screenwriting, because one day the film industry was going to catch up to the complexity of our experiences. It was going to be hungry for our stories."

Brady and I use the dirty-sounding double-ender recording method: he records the audio locally on his end, I do the same on my end and additionally I record the call with both of us.
The first thing that needs to be done is to sync our two local recordings using the recording with both of us. Double-ended recording adds a lot of work but has the benefit of making the audio quality much higher.
There are many things that can obviously be cut: technical problems, segments that don't work out or that are just boring.
Because this phase doesn't require visual attention in the same way as other tasks, I can play a game during this phase. Prison Architect has been my go-to at this stage from the beginning.
When complete, this edit gets sent to Brady to listen to for any edit suggestions.
This is where most of the work happens. This edit is to tighten the podcast as much as possible: I'm listening for any sentence (or word) that can be cut without loss. I don't cut all the 'ummms' because then it wouldn't sound like a real conversation but I do cut as many of the annoying ones as I can.
Any conversation over The Internet is going to have some points where the participants talk over each other. Another advantage of double-ended recording is it allows me during this edit to pull apart those sections for easier listening.
If I'm on top of things I've recorded my ads and gotten any of Brady's ads between cut 2 and cut 3. This is the time to figure out where they go best and to add in the theme and jingles.
2) Create the show notes.
On the final listen through I add in links to the things we have discussed in the video. While in theory I could do this in edit 1, I'd rather wait until all the cuts have been made.
I've learned from experience it's easy to make pretty embarrassing errors in edit 2, so this listen through is to catch them. While I listen to the first cut at 2x and the second cut at 1.5x this final cut is at normal or almost-normal speed because there are sometimes little audio glitches that are difficult to notice at the faster speeds.
Why take all this time editing the show if it's just a casual, two-dudes-talking show? Well, let's be honest: many two dudes talking shows are death to listen to. Many people who start podcasting assume that sounding casual also means that the process of creation is casual. But it's often the reverse: a casual sound requires a lot more effort to make it bearable to actually listen to. While there are some podcast naturals who can just roll the tape and let it fly, that's not me. Luckily that can be fixed with work.


Ignite Intellectual Curiosity "Stock Summer Quest with Your Support"
BENEFITING: Harlem Educational Activities Fund, Inc.
The HEAF Junior Board is on a mission to raise $5,000 by May 31 for the HEAF five week intensive summer 2017 educational program known as "Summer Quest". Summer Quest's mission is to ignite intellectual curiosity, and to cultivate academic development through a variety of inquiry and project-based enrichment and outstanding elective classes. But they need lots of "stuff" and supplies in order to make the program run successfully, and here's how we can come in to help!
During Summer Quest, mornings are spent in Math and ELA classes designed to expose students to Common Core Standards in creative and interactive ways that cultivate a love of learning. In the afternoon, students select elective classes that expose them to cutting edge topics like coding, 3D printing, entrepreneurship, graphic design, and inquiry based science projects. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to attend weekly trips and participate in outdoor activities promoting physical enhancement.
Our goal is to offer 160 students across 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade an incredible summer filled with learning, creativity and fun - all while helping to ensure they will have a competitive advantage for the upcoming school year.
All proceeds raised here in our "Stock Summer Quest with Your Support" campaign will go towards supporting the 2017 Summer Quest program.

SOCIAL PLANNING TORONTO 2011 RESEARCH & POLICY ROUNDTABLE: WHO'S IN CHARGE?
Please join us for our Research & Policy Roundtable being held on February 24th, 2011. The theme of the 2011 roundtable is "Who's in Charge? The impact of agencies, boards & commissions on public accountability & service delivery".
Since the late 1970s, a transformative shift has taken place in how governments manage and administer public services in many democratic countries around the world. Influenced by neo-liberal ideologies, governments have been increasingly under pressure to reduce their size and control over public services. Governments were declared "too big" and "too bureaucratic" to be able to properly and promptly deliver services transparently and flexibly. Governments were encouraged to incorporate private sector management models to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of services and service-delivery. One central feature of this new model has been the creation of hundreds of decentralized and quasi-autonomous government agencies, boards and commissions (ABCs) to manage and administer public services. According to the Ontario Public Appointments Secretariat, there are approximately 630 of these agencies, boards and commissions operating in the province.

VANCOUVER MAYOR FINDS NEW RESPECT FOR SANITATION WORKERS WHEN HE WALKS A DAY IN THEIR SHOES
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson found out what it's like to work collecting and sorting garbage in Vancouver when he appeared on a recent episode of CBC series Make the Politician Work.
During the two days Robertson spent as a city sanitation worker he tried a number of jobs normally done by front line staff who are members of CUPE.
"What really struck me was how much people care about their work at the city, how concerned they are about the future and doing better and better. That's great value for us at the city and it's great value for taxpayers too," said Robertson.
The episode aired on Feb. 13 and you can watch it here on the CBC website: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/Make_the_Politician_Work/1747857163/ID=1795295084
2010-2011 MIGRANT FARM WORKERS REPORT PUBLISHED
Report finds federal government complicit in Canada's abuse of migrant farm workers
Canada's most comprehensive annual report on the challenges facing migrant farm workers has been released. It confirms that abuse and exploitation of migrant farm workers are rampant in Canada's agriculture industry. The 2010-2011 Status of Migrant Farm Workers in Canada report is published by UFCW Canada and the Agriculture Workers Alliance (AWA). For more than two decades UFCW Canada has been a leading advocate for farm workers' rights, and in association with the AWA operates 10 agriculture worker support centres across Canada. The latest report is the seventh released since 2003. The 25-page report exposes federally operated migrant farm worker programs as rife with human and labour rights violations — and those programs are expanding with the assistance of the Harper Conservative government.

A NEW AMERICAN WORKERS MOVEMENT HAS BEGUN
By Dan La Botz, Solidarity
Thousands of workers demonstrated at the state capital in Madison, Wisconsin on Feb. 15 and 16 to protest plans by that state's Republican Governor Scott Walker to take away the state workers' union rights. Walker, cleverly attempted to divide the public workers by excluding police and firefighters from his anti-union law, and the media have worked to divide public employees against private sector workers. Yet, both firemen and private sector workers showed up at the statehouse to join public workers of all sorts in what has been one of the largest workers demonstrations in the United States in decades.

WI GOVERNOR'S FAKE BUDGET CRISIS: GAVE TAX BREAKS TO WAL-MART TO FURTHER REAL AGENDA – UNION BUSTING
(Alternet)
There is no fiscal crisis in Wisconsin. Governor Walker reports a nearly 130 million dollar deficit, but doesn't report that he caused it by giving a 140 million dollar tax break to large multinational corporations here in Wisconsin (e.g. WalMart). However, this cover story gives him an excuse to do the unthinkable.

THE EGYPTIAN UPRISING AND WORKERS' GRIEVANCES
By Nada Matta, The Bullet
It is too early to give an explanation for the Egyptian revolt. Much still needs to be understood about the character and the driving forces behind this sustained mass mobilization, as well as its dynamic and development. Some initial thoughts could still be entertained, however, especially with regards to the nature of the protestors' demands. Though the revolt was caused by increasing economic hardship and insecurity, as well as by mounting political repression and authoritarianism, the demands of its youth organizers were solely focused on political democracy.

WORKERS BAND TOGETHER AS UNIONS ARE LEFT BEHIND
The AFL-CIO spent over $50 million worth of its members' dues and deployed 250,000 workers to support Obama's campaign. But three years later, workers say unions have failed to deliver on their promises and are struggling to defend their rights.
Raquel Rojas isn't exactly union material – an immigrant, a seasonal worker, scraping by on multiple part-time, low-wage jobs. So when Raquel said she watched her managers at the Cheesecake Factory in Baltimore's Inner Harbor disrespect workers and sexually harass their employees, she had little recourse – until United Workers knocked on her door.

GREAT BRITAIN (Donington)12.02.2014
By winning the two races at Donington Park, Tom Sykes notched up the first twin-win of his career in the Superbike World Championship.
Superbike, Supersport Europe
Britain's Tom Sykes was in great shape on his home turf at Donington Park. After qualifying once again ahead of his opponents, the Kawasaki rider gave no quarter and won both races, the first ahead of the BMW ridden by Melandri, the second in front of Aprilia Guintoli. Loris Baz got off to a bad start by being way back on the grid. Placed twelfth after the qualifying session, the Frenchman managed to claw his way back to fifth position when he took the chequered flag for the first race, but had to settle for seventh place at the end of the second. "It's difficult to overtake on this circuit, and I didn't feel as good in the second race: the temperature had changed and the behaviour of my bike was not quite the same," he explained. In the Supersport category, Kenan Sofuoglu managed to take second place despite making contact with another bike early in the race, allowing Sam Lowes to take the lead. Suffering from cervical problems after his crash at Monza, Fabien Foret had a hard fight to finish ninth.
Thanks to his two successes on his English home ground, Tom Sykes has climbed back to second place overall in the World Superbike Championship only four points behind Sylvain Guintoli, clinging to his lead. Loris Baz remains firmly attached to his sixth place, with ninety-five points to his credit. In the Supersport category, Fabien Foret has lost the leadership and dropped back to third place, while Kenan Sofuoglu has moved up to second. The two Kawasaki riders are only three points apart, with Lowes thirty lengths in the lead.
"My first twin-win, at home, in front of my public: it's like a dream come true." Tom Sykes couldn't conceal his delight at the finish of the second race of the day at Donington Park. It must be admitted, it's the first time the Kawasaki rider has managed to string two wins together on the same day. "Tom was simply unbeatable today," praised Sylvain Guintoli, still championship leader, but now with Ichiro Yoda's protégé breathing hard on his heels. From the first free practice sessions, Sykes set the tone by moving up to the top of the timesheets. On Saturday, the British rider clinched his fourth Superpole in a row and the fifth of his career, becoming the sixth rider in history with Colin Edwards to have such a track record. The results of the two races were equally clear. Winning the first two seconds ahead of Melandri, he won the second in front of all his rivals. "Adjusting the front suspension one notch between the two races allowed me to make the difference and really turn on the heat," he explained. "After chalking up the new overall record for the circuit yesterday, today I turned in the lap record. I couldn't want for anything better. With so many spectators at the circuit, there was no better place than Donington for my maiden twin-win."

Mirko Oremuš (Trogir, 6. rujna 1988.) hrvatski je nogometaš koji trenutačno igra za bosanskohercegovački klub Igman Konjic.

U mladim kategorijama splitskog Hajduka igrao je više pozicija, većinom lijevog ili desnog braniča, te krilo. Treneri su ga, međutim, znali stavljati i na poziciju napadača. Za seniore je prvi put zaigrao 2. rujna 2007. u Koprivnici protiv Slaven Belupa. Nakon ulaska u 75. minuti, već 3 minute kasnije postiže svoj prvijenac za remi 2:2.

Ipak, iako je trenirao s prvom momčadi više nije dobio ni minute šanse, te na zimu biva otpisan i po raskidu ugovora odlazi u Novalju. Nakon uspješne polusezone u trećoj ligi, novi ga trener, Goran Vučević, vraća u matični klub. Isprva igra relativno malo, no, nakon zapaženih partija u gostima protiv Croatije Sesveta i Slaven Belupa (gdje s 2 gola preokreće vodstvo domaće momčadi) postaje prva zamjena napadačima i krilnim veznim.

U 2011. Hajduk Split ga šalje na posudbu u Hapoel Tel-Avi u Izrael. Nakon toga, Oremuš se ponovo vraća u Izrael na posudbi u Hapoel Acre. Nakon šest godina s Hajdukom, Trogiranin potpisuje ugovor u 2014. s trećim izraelskim klubom u karijeri, Hapoel Petah Tikva.

Nakon visoke pobjede RNK Splita protiv NK Istre 1961 u kolovozu 2015, splitski klub je objavio vijest da je Oremuš novi igrač RNK Splita. Oremuš je pojačao momčad Splita u koju stiže kao slobodan igrač nakon što mu je istekao ugovor s izraelskim Hapoelom Petah Tikvom.

Krajem 2016. je Oremuš potpisao za četvrti izraelski klub u karijeri, Hapoel Aškelon.

Academic Honesty Plagiarism has become an increasingly serious problem in the University. It is aggravated by the easy access to a wide range of materials available on the internet. The situation is particularly severe in course assessment involving submission of report / poster / presentation, where students have been caught copying materials in bulk. Plagiarism is regarded as a very serious offence in the academic world. It constitutes academic theft - the offender has 'stolen' the work of others and presented the stolen work as if it were his or her own. It goes to the integrity and honesty of a person. It stifles creativity and originality, and defeats the purpose of education. In this University, plagiarism is a disciplinary offence and may be considered by the University's Disciplinary Committee for possible disciplinary action. Any student who commits the offence is liable to disciplinary action. You may refer to the booklet on "What is Plagiarism?" to avoid committing such an offence. Please visit the Graduate School's website for more details.
The Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS) is committed to fostering an intellectually stimulating and culturally diverse campus to enrich students' total learning experience at HKU. Bridging the boundary between classroom and the world, CEDARS provide support services, resources and educational programmes to facilitate students' learning.

Lessons from Legends at One Young World
February 11, 2010 / in: Change, Social Media, Youth
Originally posted on The Huffington Post.
The inaugural One Young World summit under way this week in London is a next-generation Davos: a gathering of hundreds of future leaders from the world's 192 countries. All under age 30, they're bringing youthful energy, passion, optimism and creativity to the most challenging issues facing people around the globe today. I have no doubt that the best among them will alter the world for the better, inspire positive change in others and solve problems that today seem like intractable challenges.
In other words, some of them will become legends.
In that regard, One Young World can be seen as a passing of the torch. The summit's delegates are being guided by the current generation of legendary leaders as they're exchanging ideas, engaging in debate and drafting resolutions on pressing issues including global business, interfaith dialogue, climate change, corporate social responsibility and economic justice. Leading the sessions are such legends as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sir Bob Geldof, Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, Sen. John Kerry and former President of Peru Alejandro Toledo.
At the opening ceremonies on Feb. 8, the counselors and delegates set the scene for the work ahead of them by stating the One Young World pledge: "One world. One people. One future. Our destiny: to make the world a better place for each other. Let us begin."
The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, welcomed delegates to his city and congratulated them on being nominated for One Young World. He said, "Science, I think, is the future, and technology is what's going to bring us together," then talked about his youth: worries that Russia would invade Poland, and campaigning against apartheid in South Africa—a struggle that that generation's 20-somethings saw turn around. They campaigned against poverty and injustice around the world, launching initiatives such as Bob Geldof's Live Aid, a seminal moment in the '80s for the organizers and many presenters at the One Young World summit, but something most delegates weren't alive to remember.
To put Live Aid in perspective: The 1985 concert assembled the best pop stars from around the world to raise money for Ethiopia. "Today, in 2010," said Johnson, "it took one London 7-year-old—I'm not kidding—to get on the Internet and raise £72,000 for Haiti. That is the difference between now and then."
He went on: "I believe passionately we are closer than ever to being one world, closer than ever before to having a global consciousness, a global ability to solve our problems together."
Bob Geldof, whose incredibly significant achievements in the '80s, before the Internet enabled instantaneous global reach, also addressed the delegates. He said: "What we're here for is important and poses a great responsibility on you. I think us counselors can abdicate that responsibility. The suggestion is almost that whatever it is we've managed to do…there's increasingly little we can do to influence the affairs, except to possibly pass it on, somehow, by influencing you." He then quoted George Bernard Shaw and said: "All progress in the world is made by unreasonable people. The reasonable person adapts to the world, whereas the unreasonable person persists in adapting the world to himself and therefore all progress moves through the unreasonable person." He asked delegates to be completely unreasonable as they went through the summit.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, whose name is synonymous with overturning apartheid in South Africa, told the delegates, "I want to salute you, for you are a fantastic bunch of human beings." He went on to say: "Young people are such a fantastic group of people who dream dreams, dreams of a world that is without war. You dream dreams and you say, 'Let us make poverty history.'… I was in Copenhagen, and most of the people there who were demonstrating, who were passionate, were young people. A hundred thousand young people went out on the streets of Copenhagen."
Then he offered a theological context for his arguments: "God has been using young people—Joseph, David kills Goliath, Francis of Assisi. And God is using youth to say to us oldies, 'Hey, when are you going to get it into your head? Just look at how much you're spending on guns.'… We oldies, how many wars have we started? They were not started by young people. And most of those who start the wars, will you find them on the front line? No, no, no. They're sitting comfortably at home and watching other people's children die.
"So I come to you and say, 'Hey, just go on being idealistic. Just go on dreaming that we are going to have a different kind of world.' When we come back…we may be ghosts…and look at the world, we'll say, 'There's no longer any poverty. There's no longer any hunger. There's no longer any war.' You are going to make this a beautiful, beautiful world. I look around and I can see Nobel Peace laureates in here."
As for the future legends, David Jones, a founder and organizer of One Young World, explained 20-somethings' potential in his address to the delegates. "You really are a very unique generation," he began. "We say a lot that things are different, and a lot of the time, it's actually not the case. But I think you are dramatically different. The reason for that is the digital revolution.… That has probably made you the smartest generation that has ever existed.… The second thing that's really unique about you is your ability to really impact and effect positive change, again because of the digital revolution, the power of social media.…
"Our belief is quite simple: If the world's leaders can't make the right decisions, and I think Copenhagen was a fantastic example of not delivering what the world's people wanted, then maybe if we brought together some of the smartest young people in the world, then they could actually help the world's leaders make the right decisions."

Coalition's modern manufacturing grants used as election announcements
Jacob GreberSenior correspondent
Aug 26, 2022 – 5.00am
Labor has scotched suggestions the previous government's $1.3 billion Modern Manufacturing Initiative amounted to political pork barrelling, but slammed the Coalition for announcing the winners just before and during the election.
Industry and Science Minister Ed Husic ordered the department on Thursday to work with the successful bidders to begin the contracting process.
Ed Husic accused the Morrison government of waiting until the "last possible moment close to an election" to announce the winners. Alex Ellinghausen
The move ends hopes inside Labor that it would find potential budget savings from the program, which Mr Husic froze in June to assess whether it represented "value for money".
One critical minerals firm, which declined to be identified, has told The Australian Financial Review it was assured it had won a grant, only to be denied at the very last moment, with funding going instead to a project in a region the Coalition was eager to win over.
Then-prime minister Scott Morrison and his ministers and MPs announced between March 1 and May 17 – well into the traditional caretaker period – a long string of winners around the country in resources technology, food and beverage, medical products, recycling and clean energy, defence and space.
Of the 502 eligible applicants to the program, 68 were successful.
However, Mr Husic lambasted the past government for notifying only 34 of the 400 applicants that fell short, suggesting their inability to know the outcome had the effect of silencing criticism.
Left hanging
"Rather than announcing these grants in a timely way at the height of the pandemic, when manufacturing was desperate for support, the Morrison government waited to the last possible moment close to an election," Mr Husic said.
"It is completely unfair the Coalition government left so many companies wondering if they had been successful for months.
"They [the government] were more than happy to use announcements during the election campaign, but didn't have the guts to be honest with those that missed out.
"The MMI program has delivered funding to outstanding companies and deserving projects, but there were plenty of grant applicants that were left hanging for months. That's just not on, and no way to treat Australian businesses."
The government's review of the program looked at whether the grant rules were followed, whether the advice of independent panels was followed and whether the program "as a whole" delivered value for taxpayers.
Mr Husic said in a statement the grants were "all supported by an independent assessment committee and the processes adhered to the publicly available grant opportunity guidelines".
"Despite the brazen attempt of the former Morrison government to politicise this grant process by delaying announcements until the election period, and failing to inform unsuccessful applicants, the government is now satisfied the companies have been awarded MMI funding according to the applicable grant process," he said.
Mr Husic claimed credit for the fact the grants were not "rorted".
"As soon as the Modern Manufacturing Initiative was announced in 2020, we were on their case. Unlike some programs under the former Liberal and National government, the MMI grants were independently assessed.
"Given the former government's track record on grants, it was entirely appropriate this program was closely examined."
Mr Morrison had final say over $828 million in grants in the industry portfolio in the year leading up to the federal election when he held secret authority over five ministries, The Sydney Morning Herald reported this week.

Fairclough, Adam. Race & Democracy: The Civil Rights Struggle in Louisiana, 1915-1972.Athens, GA: University of Georgia Press, 1995, 477 pp.
Adam Fairclough's work on the civil rights movement in Louisiana represents the culmination of years of research by the University of Leeds professor. It shows in his book. Race & Democracy breaks new ground in civil rights history in two large ways: it analyzes in great detail how the struggle for civil rights occurred on a state level rather than on a national or on a community level; and it uncovers new and convincing complexities of civil rights history that only a state study spanning over fifty years could find.
Until now very few historians have looked at the struggle for civil rights on a state level. Louisiana was a particularly interesting case: while southern Louisiana harbored a history of European influences through language and religion, northern Louisiana remained Protestant, rural, and isolated from the cosmopolitan influences that marked New Orleans. For Fairclough, this cultural and social diversity made Louisiana "the most diverse and unique southern state" that nonetheless resembled other southern states enough to make the Louisiana movement "typical of how the civil rights struggle unfolded in the South." With a state study, moreover, Fairclough departs from previous civil rights historiography by concentrating on a local level that is not as confined as a community study but that is less broad than a national portrayal. Analyzing a state, he shows, reveals the "richness of texture" missing from national histories but without the "insularity and incoherence" of a local study.
Race & Democracy begins in 1915, chosen intentionally as the year when the New Orleans chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded. Much of Fairclough's story over the next forty years, 1915 to 1955, concentrates on local chapters of the NAACP throughout Louisiana, particularly in cities like Monroe and New Orleans where strong branches existed. Fairclough makes a point in focusing on the NAACP: though the NAACP tends to fall in the background of many civil rights studies, he argues, the pre-1955 NAACP clearly provided the local and national backbone for the struggle of the 1960s. As Louisiana shows, the NAACP often existed as the only civil rights organization in many communities and was responsible for bringing law suits and starting local voter drives when most African Americans remained scared silent. From 1928 to 1948, for example, the NAACP in Monroe, a city in the northeastern section of the state, was one of the strongest in Louisiana, battling disfranchisement and police brutality for decades before the national legislation of the mid-1960s. Thanks to the spread of labor activism in the South, Fairclough portrays, NAACP voices only grew louder and more radical as World War II came and went.
The NAACP faded from the scene in the late 1950s, however, thanks to a spate of massive-resistance bills inspired by Willie Rainach, Leander Perez, and other ultra segregationists that ultimately decimated local NAACP chapters around the state. One such bill–the "KKK law" that demanded publication of membership lists for state organizations–was actually resuscitated legislation that had been passed in the 1920s to stunt the Ku Klux Klan. As the NAACP waned in influence throughout the state, however, another civil rights group–the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) took its place as the dominant organization in the state. Fairclough's account of how the nonviolent direct action techniques of younger, more militant CORE activists sped the movement forward reads like many other accounts of the post-1960 struggle, though his observations of the interaction among local, state, and federal governments–especially in the Bogalusa movement of 1965–demonstrate the peculiar insights of a state analysis.
The fading of the NAACP and its replacement by CORE underlines another of Fairclough's main arguments. Much civil rights history discusses the movement as beginning some time around the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and ending some time around the 1965 Voting Rights Act, a line of progression that focuses on the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the organizational strategies of Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Many historians realized, however, that in order to understand the 1955 to 1965 phase of the movement, they needed to return to earlier decades to see how national changes like the New Deal or World War II provoked the sparks of the later civil rights movement. Fairclough departs from the pre-and-post-1955 dichotomy by emphasizing both the continuities and the discontinuities across the Montgomery Bus Boycott: "It is a central thesis of this work that black protest between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s constituted more than a mere prelude to the drama proper: it was the first act of a two-act play." Indeed Race & Democracy reads like a two-act drama, with the NAACP on center stage for the first half of the book and CORE on stage the second.
Race & Democracy has much to offer. Extremely well- written, the book also weaves anecdotal evidence within a narrative riveting for its day-to-day analysis of goings-on throughout Louisiana such as the 1946 lynching of John C. Jones in Minden or the 1960-61 school desegregation crisis in New Orleans. Fairclough clearly appreciates the daily fight for civil rights that individuals undertook without discounting the enormous importance of federal intervention on a judicial, legislative, or executive level. Each chapter ends on a cliffhanger that flows easily into the next chapter, emphasizing the connectedness of struggle that underlined the Louisiana movement. And while Fairclough does not shy away from emphasizing the major ideological, generational, and personal disputes that often divided African-Americans, he also shows though analysis of different white southerners that the myth of the Solid South was just that: a myth.
Fairclough's tendency to focus on organizations such as CORE and the NAACP reveals the only minor shortcoming of his book: the lack of a deeper understanding of non-community leaders and non-activists–black and white–in civil rights change. For decades before the Brown decision, local YWCA's broke color barriers and propelled black and white women into civil rights activism. In 1960, moreover, New Orleans white women involved in political reform groups such as the League of Women Voters resisted the legislature's attempts to close down schools rather than integrate; their actions were fundamental in changing local white attitudes about token desegregation. Fairclough's tendency to focus on male leaders keeps these important characters in the background.
Race & Democracywill nonetheless long exist as the example to follow for state and local histories of civil rights. By emphasizing the great complexities, continuities, and discontinuities involved in social change, Fairclough gives us an appreciation of why the legacies of civil rights remain so complicated today.

Q: Does System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient use SSL, TLS, StartTLS, or a combination? This question has answers about negotiating the best version of TLS/SSL available with the server: Which versions of SSL/TLS does System.Net.WebRequest support?
However I thought SmtpClient used regular Smtp for transport, with TLS on top - which as I understand it is StartTLS.
I am documenting some software (a box ticking exercise) and need to state which protocols are used, and security protocols are really not my area of expertise so how can I explain this well?

A: According to the documentation it can only do explicit TLS (i.e. STARTTLS) and not implicit TLS (SMTPS):

The SmtpClient class only supports the SMTP Service Extension for
  Secure SMTP over Transport Layer Security as defined in RFC 3207. In
  this mode, the SMTP session begins on an unencrypted channel, then a
  STARTTLS command is issued by the client to the server to switch to
  secure communication using SSL. See RFC 3207 published by the Internet
  Engineering Task Force (IETF) for more information.

IBF Minimumweight champion Katsunari Takayama makes his long awaited return to Japan as he competes on the up-coming Kameda card. Takayama, who hasn't fought in Japan since 2009 and hasn't fought in Osaka 2008 seems to have some how gotten his own poster for the show.
We'll be honest we think it's great that Takayama is back in Japan and although the poster is a bit of a strange one we like it and really hope that Takayama's fight with Vergilio Silvano will leave a lasting impression on fans and see him back in Japan with out another long wait.

As well as the poster there is also a banner for the fight as seen above. Very strange in all honesty considering that the fight isn't even the lead fight for the show!
