5 Attachment A: Reading An Introduction to Florida Government The Florida State Constitution declares that the powers of state government be divided into three separate and relatively independent branches - executive, legislative, and judicial. Each branch is sovereign in its own area of responsibility, but it is also influenced by the checks and balances from the other branches. It is basically the same governmental model found at the national level and in all 50 states EXECUTIVE BRANCH The EXECUTIVE branch is the law-administering and law-enforcing branch of the government. It is patterned along the lines of a large corporation with the governor serving as chairman of the board and the three independently elected cabinet members serving as directors. The governor is elected for a four-year term and may serve two terms in succession. The lieutenant governor is elected as running mate of the governor. Members of the Cabinet are elected to four year terms and may succeed themselves for any number of terms. All of the many agencies and departments that are responsible for programs in Florida State government are also part of the Executive Branch. The Governor is responsible for day-to-day operations of the state and is the chief law enforcement officer. The governor appoints not only the heads of departments under sole oversight of the governor, but also the heads of departments that are under both the governor and Cabinet's oversight, although at least three Cabinet members must agree to the appointments. The governor also appoints members of several regulatory boards and commissions. By executive order, the governor may suspend from office any state or county elected official who is not subject to impeachment. The governor cannot suspend the lieutenant governor, Cabinet members, Supreme Court justices, appellate judges, or circuit court judges. They can be removed only by legislative impeachment. The office of Lieutenant Governor was authorized in the 1968 revision of the Constitution, but duties of that office were left to the discretion of the governor and the legislature. The only Constitutional chore of this office-holder is to become the governor should that office become vacant due to death, impeachment trial, or incapacity. The Lieutenant Governor is elected on the same ticket as governor and is chosen by the gubernatorial candidate as running mate.
6 Florida's Constitution states that in addition to a governor and lieutenant governor "there shall be a Cabinet composed of: an attorney general, a chief financial officer, a commissioner of agriculture, The Constitution declares that each Cabinet member "shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as may be prescribed by law." In effect, that gives the Cabinet officers powers equal to the governor. This system violates a basic rule of government. That is, giving an elected official the authority to perform a duty and then be officially fully responsible, for under this system the governor is held responsible but does not have the authority or means to fulfill that responsibility. LEGISLATIVE BRANCH The Legislative branch is the law-making branch and is composed of two houses - the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Legislature meets for a regular 60-day session each year. There may also be special and extended sessions if necessary. The Senate and House affect every Floridian's life through legislation relating to how cities and counties operate, through appointment of state officials, through investigative and budgetary matters, and through taxes. The legislative branch is considered to be the most powerful of the state's three branches of government. The SENATE has 40 members, each elected to a four year term. Half the senate members are elected every two years, providing for staggered terms. Senate districts are based on population with each senator representing approximately the same number of residents. To do so, some senators may represent only one county or a portion of a county, while another senator may represent multiple counties. The senate like the house is reapportioned every 10 years when the federal census is released. The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES has 120 members. All are elected every two years during the general elections held in even-numbered years. House districts are based on population with each member representing approximately the same number of residents. To do so, some members may represent only one county or a portion of a county, while another may represent multiple counties. The House like the Senate is reapportioned every 10 years when the federal census is released.
7 JUDICIAL BRANCH The JUDICIAL branch is the law-interpreting branch. Its powers are exercised primarily through courts established by the State Constitution. Florida's judicial branch consists of a series of courts with differing levels of authority and jurisdictions. They are: Supreme Court This highest of state courts consists of seven members, each appointed by the governor, and confirmed by a vote of the people at the next general election. Each is appointed for a six-year term. Justices select one of their own to be the chief justice for a two-year term. The Supreme Court hears appeals directly from trial courts in criminal cases when the death penalty has been imposed, and in civil cases when the trial court's decision passes on the validity of a state or federal law, a treaty, or a provision of the state or federal constitution or in cases concerning the validity of revenue or general obligation bonds. All other appeals must be processed through a district court of appeals. District Court of Appeals The state has five appellate districts. More than 50 judges sit on the five appeals courts, each elected to six-year staggered terms. They have jurisdiction of all appeals not directly appealable to the Supreme Court or to a circuit court. An appeals court also may issue writs of mandamus, certiorari, prohibition, quo warranto, and habeas corpus. Circuit Court The Circuit Court is the state's highest trial court, and has the most general jurisdiction. The state is divided into 20 judicial circuits and circuit judges are elected to six-year terms. In each circuit the judges choose from among themselves a chief judge of that circuit. Circuit courts have exclusive original jurisdiction in all actions of law not vested in county courts, including all civil actions involving $15,000 or more. Circuit courts also cover: estate settlement; competency and involuntary hospitalization; all cases in equity including those relating to juveniles except certain traffic offenses; cases involving tax assessments or tolls, ejectment, and titles or boundaries or rights of possession of real property; felonies or misdemeanors arising out of same circumstances as a felony; and jurisdiction over all appeals from county courts.
8 County Court At least one county court judge is specified for each county and is elected to a six-year term. County courts handle misdemeanor cases over which the circuit court has no authority, violations of municipal ordinances, and civil actions involving less than $15,000.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – President Donald Trump’s vulgar comments disparaging Haiti, El Salvador and African countries reverberated across the country Friday – including one immigrant-rich state central to the GOP’s political fortunes where the party was already facing head winds: Florida.
Trump’s description of “shithole countries” in an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers Thursday sent Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a close ally the president is courting to run for Senate, scrambling to distance himself from the controversy. Republican lawmakers issued strongly-worded statements condemning what the leader of their party said. And GOP strategists and activists worried about the fallout in a battleground that is home to one of the country’s largest populations of Latin Americans.
Trump’s presidential victory hinged heavily on his surprise win in Florida, which Republicans are trying to build on in this year’s midterm elections. But the drag of Trump’s polarizing actions and words can be felt acutely in some quarters of this state, where marquee elections for Senate and governor will play out this year, and which is expected to be as pivotal in the 2020 presidential contest as it was in 2016.
“It’s not helping,” said Michael Barnett, the vice chairman of the Florida Republican Party. Barnett, an African-American attorney in Palm Beach County who is close to the Haitian community there, added, “As far as making our job harder, we’ve been through a lot already with him.”
Some Florida Republicans quickly condemned the president’s remarks. Sen. Marco Rubio issued a series of tweets Friday praising Haitian Americans for their contributions to the country. Hours before that started, Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., who is running for reelection in a battleground south Florida district, tweeted “Under no circumstances is it acceptable to degrade, denigrate, or dehumanize” immigrants in the United States under what is known as temporary protected status.
The president’s Oval Office insult, during a discussion about negotiations over immigration policy, followed months of other behavior that has similarly threatened to undercut Republicans in Florida.
After Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in September, Trump told local officials they should feel “very proud” they hadn’t lost hundreds of lives like in “a real catastrophe” like Hurricane Katrina. Later, he gave the federal response “a 10,” even as the island territory was struggling to recover.
In 2016, Florida’s nearly 1.1 million Puerto Ricans was second only to New York as the largest population of island transplants. By one estimate after last year’s storm, at least 100,000 Puerto Ricans were expected to relocate to Florida, at least on a temporary basis.
More recently, the Trump administration announced plans to expand oil-drilling in most U.S. continental-shelf waters, a move opposed by governors from New Jersey to Florida. A few days later, officials announced an exemption for Florida – an apparent recognition of the political peril of the expansion in a crucial state, but a move that Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., called it a “political stunt.” The White House declined to say whether Trump was personally involved in the decision to exempt Florida, where the president owns …read more

Creating varieties adapted to the Swiss market which are also competitive throughout Europe.
Criteria taken into account in the breeding programme
- Quality: baking, biscuit and fodder quality
- Disease resistance: yellow and brown rust, powdery mildew, Septoria nodorum and Septoria tritici, fusarium head blight
- Resistance to lodging and well adapted to climatic conditions
- Some nutritional aspects (fibres, antioxidants, vitamins, etc.)
The world’s population has doubled in the last 50 years, reaching the 8 billion mark in 2022. Increased wheat yields are a key objective of breeding programmes to feed humanity.
The gene bank is a treasure trove of biodiversity for wheat breeding. It contains many unique cultivars that can contribute valuable traits to the breeding programmes.
Exchanging varieties is a common practice among breeders, who send each other their best cultivars for free. This allows the best traits to be propagated more easily among partners.
The crossing of two wheat cultivars is the cornerstone of any breeding programme. The objective is to combine the positive traits of each parent in the progeny.
Adapting wheat cultivars to their environment is a growing challenge facing breeding programmes. Resistance to extreme temperatures, drought and excess water are indispensable traits for safeguarding production despite climate change.
Producing disease-resistant varieties is a priority, aimed at reducing the use of plant protection products. Resistance to no fewer than 6 diseases is tested during the creation of a new variety.
Each new variety undergoes three bread-baking tests to determine protein quantity and quality as well as dough properties. These tests allow the varieties to be assigned to different quality classes

Sen. Mike Lee
GOP trio introduces legislation to strip MLB of antitrust protection
Sen. Mike Lee objects to ‘false’ evidence shown at Trump impeach trial
Sen. Mike Lee is wrong to think Latino, women’s museums will ‘divide us’
Modern ‘democracy’ means protecting freedom as much as it does holding votes
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) tore into congressional Democrats’ massive election reform effort Tuesday night, telling Fox News that the For the People Act “was written in hell by the devil himself.”
The legislation, which passed the House of Representatives along party lines in March, failed a Senate test vote earlier Tuesday evening. All 50 Democrats — including Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who previously said he would vote “no” on final passage — supported beginning debate on the measure, while all 50 Republicans opposed doing so.
Republicans derided the legislation as an unconstitutional infringement on the rights of states to conduct — and secure — elections as they see fit. Some Republicans mockingly called the bill the “Screw the People Act,” while Lee and his close colleague, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) have called it the “Corrupt Politicians Act.”
“This bill wouldn’t make it easier to vote,” Lee told “Hannity”. “This bill would make it easier to vote illegally. This is the Corrupt Politicians Act and I’m glad we defeated it.”
Lee took particular issue with a section of the legislation that would have imposed a 6-to-1 match for small-dollar donations to candidates.
“There’s one thing the American people do not want, and that’s for the federal government to be running politician’s campaigns, and I’m thrilled that we stopped it,” he said.
Following the vote, President Biden issued a statement decrying what he described as “a solid Republican wall of opposition” and describing the vote as “the suppression of a bill to end voter suppression — another attack on voting rights that is sadly not unprecedented.” The president has repeatedly referred to election reform measures in states like Georgia as a new form of the “Jim Crow” racial segregation laws enacted between Reconstruction and the civil rights movement.
Some Democrats justified the legislation by saying it was necessary to limit the ability of state officials to remove local election officials. Georgia’s election reform law, which was enacted earlier this year, gives the GOP-dominated Legislature greater influence over a state board that regulates elections and empowers it to remove local election officials deemed to be underperforming.
Lee dismissed that justification as a “ruse” Tuesday night.
“This bill … had nothing to do with 2020, it had nothing to do with Georgia’s law this year, or Texas’ [proposed election reform] law this year,” he said. “No, this was written years ago. That was all a ruse, and that’s why it’s so essential that we make sure this remains defeated.”
“I’ve been absolutely concerned, panicked, that if there’s any chance this becomes law, it would be devastating to the country,” Lee added. “This would be bad for everyone other than Democratic political incumbents.”

It appears that Neymar Jr. is heading out the exit door at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and the club is already preparing for his departure before it happens officially.
Reports today suggested that Neymar’s lawyers were already at the Nou Camp to discuss the nuances of his move to Barcelona, but contrary reports also suggested he could join Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus.
Not to be outdone are Real Madrid, who have also staked their claim to signing the Brazilian this summer, with manager Zinedine Zidane keen on bringing the star power to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Whoever gets Neymar, one thing is for sure, he is definitely leaving PSG soon, and the fact that products with his name on it were withdrawn from PSG’s official store, only point to the fact that an exit looms large.
El PSG retira de la venta los productos con el nombre de Neymar !! La salida parece un hecho .. https://t.co/ZfGFAfn9mj

Neymar won’t come cheap, but it is possible that Barcelona are looking to get him in along with a swap deal involving Philippe Coutinho, who has struggled to establish himself at the Catalans.
Paulo Dybala is rumoured to be heading to PSG too, and if Neymar goes to Juve, the two could end up being part of a swap move.


Proposal to introduce a generic drawing to clarify the requirements applicable to elements of windscreen wipers.
12. Referring to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/17, the expert from France introduced GRSG-115-08 that clarifies the requirements on windscreen wipers with a simple generic drawing of the areas concerned. The expert from EC supported the proposal. The expert from CLEPA was of the opinion that the clarification by France imposed more stringent requirements particularly for the wiper holder and would require a justification for evolving costs (GRSG-115-32). The expert from OICA endorsed the position of CLEPA. He suggested inserting transitional provisions and adopting the proposal as a new series amendments to UN Regulation No. 26. The Chair invited the experts from France and OICA to submit, in due time, a revised proposal including transitional provisions, for consideration at the next GRSG session on the basis of an official document.


1981 Wheel Horse Break spring and adjustment
I have a 1981 Wheel Horse B165, ID #02-16BP02-10281. I need to replace the spring that pulls the break pedal back to position after released. I also need to replace the break shoes and adjust the break after making the repairs. Can anyone tell me where to attach the spring on the chasis? Also, how do I determine when the compression spring on the break pedal rod is properly adjusted? I had to drop the transmission to work on it and the break spring disappeared and I did not see how it was connected.
The sping is number 45 on the parts diagram. The break mechanism is part of the transmission and I cannot find any detail for it.
Any help is appreciated.

Buzzfeed, Twitter, and how embedded tweets might have broken journalistic ethics
Twitter sometimes feels like an ever-expanding digital haystack in which even the largest needle can be lost. There are some 500 million tweets sent each day -- it's unlikely that most of them will be seen by more than a few people. But that doesn't mean that they won't be picked up by some publication or another in their search for viral content.
That's what happened when BuzzFeed published a story that collected 23 tweets describing what sexual assault victims were wearing when they were attacked. Those tweets were meant to be retweeted -- they say as much in their text -- but some are upset by BuzzFeed's story and have used the opportunity to question the journalistic ethics of trolling Twitter for content.
The argument for gathering tweets without their poster's permission is that Twitter is inherently public. Anyone is free to retweet, share, or embed anything they find on the service. The argument against gathering those tweets, especially when they're about something as personal as sexual assault, is that these are real people sharing real stories that they didn't expect to see on a website that gets hundreds of millions of pageviews each month. Put another way: Something being technically feasible doesn't mean that it's ethically defensible.
And it's unlikely that an industry standard will be established around embedding tweets. There was a time when news organizations could agree on a few standards -- don't name minors in criminal cases, don't use off-the-record conversations, don't accept gifts -- but that's unlikely to happen with the sheer number of publications available online. What's acceptable at one publication is unacceptable at another, and things often vary on a case-by-case basis.
But there is another issue here, and that's the perception that there is safety in numbers, especially on a public service like Twitter. There was a time when someone could post something to the service without fear of someone else finding it, partly because it was so large and partly because its search function was so primitive. But that time has passed.
It's becoming easier and easier to find the right needle no matter how large the haystack becomes. Twitter's search function is getting better and better. Many of the apps used to access the service have their own search utility, which makes it easy to find tweets that even Twitter's built-in search can't find. Services like Storyful collect relevant tweets in real-time. The larger Twitter grows the better these tools become, and that's not changing any time soon.
That doesn't mean that publishing a story based entirely on personal tweets about sexual assault was ethical, journalistically or otherwise, or that it was unethical, for that matter. It does mean that the belief that there is safety in numbers is outdated, and it's about time that this particular myth is dispelled.
It's 2014 -- it's time that everyone knew how these services work and how they can defend their personal information and communications, no matter their subject matter.
Reactions from around the Web
Gawker explains that Twitter is public in very small words:
The things you write on Twitter are public. They are published on the world wide web. They can be read almost instantly by anyone with an internet connection on the planet Earth. This is not a bug in Twitter; it is a feature. Twitter is a thing that allows you to publish things, quickly, to the public.
Most things that you write on Twitter will be seen only by your followers. Most things that you write on Twitter will not be read by the public at large. But that is only because the public at large does not care about most things that you have to say. It is not because the public does not have "a right" to read your Twitter. Indeed, they do. They can do so simply by typing Twitter dot com slash [your name] into their web browser. There, they will find a complete list of everything that you have chosen to publish on Twitter, which is a public forum. The Daily Dot questions the ethics of gathering tweets, especially those with sensitive subjects:
This debate highlights that journalistic standards are somewhat beholden to public decency. Before rushing to defend Twitter’s content licenses, we should first question whether it’s kosher to expose victims of sexual assault to scrutiny. It is being a good human and a good journalist to ask permission when sharing other people’s tweets about situations in which they were victimized or traumatized, before republishing them to a wider audience.Reuters reports on a case in November where a freelance photographer was awarded $1.2 million for photos that news organizations grabbed from his Twitter account:
A federal jury on Friday ordered two media companies to pay $1.2 million to a freelance photojournalist for their unauthorized use of photographs he posted to Twitter.
The jury found that Agence France-Presse and Getty Images willfully violated the Copyright Act when they used photos Daniel Morel took in his native Haiti after the 2010 earthquake that killed more than 250,000 people, Morel's lawyer, Joseph Baio, said.
The case is one of the first to address how images that individuals make available to the public through social media can be used by third parties for commercial purposes. Pando weighs in
I wrote about the improved search capabilities on Facebook, which shows just how much public information its users have made available, last July:
Graph Search shows what can be done when the dots associated with publicly-available information are connected. It should also serve as an example of what someone with the proper motivation could do if they were to access all of those public dots and connect them to other data that you probably didn’t even know you were sharing. Facebook built Graph Search to prove that Likes could be worth something, to offer yet another marketing tool to its advertisers, and to show that it was more than a time-suck devoted to “Candy Crush” and pictures of an acquaintance’s Spring Break. It also accidentally offered the average person a look at just how much they’ve shared with the service over the years.Social Wire CEO Bob Buch told Pando's James Robinson that Twitter's publicness is what makes it appeal to advertisers:
The essence of Twitter has always been a real-time feed that is focused on what is happening right now. Facebook has at its core always been a place for communication among friends, while Twitter’s openness may give it an advantage when displaying ads in the feed. Users may indeed find it a more native experience to see an ad when it’s not juxtaposed with messages from their close network of friends.[Illustration by Brad Jonas for Pando]

Hi my name is Ansel Borhauer and I am a Psychology Major at Shenandoah University. As part of our History and Systems of Psychology we are to edit certain stubs on Wikipedia (I have chosen this one), any help would be nice. I am here to talk about some information I would like to add to the course from this source, . It is a second hand article that uses a study from the New York Academy of Science about how this phenomenon could be related to our gait and how it balances us as we step through different terrain. The study used mobile sleds that could be turned on and off to mimic escalators. The study found that even if subjects were told that the sled was not moving they would still walk onto it as if it was. The researchers believe that muscle memory might be linked to how our gait is used. Ansel.borhauer (talk) 17:47, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

"an article about getting dizzy when stepping into a broken elevator? is anyone even remotedly interested in this" -- HectorAE
- It's escalator not elevator. And it is interesting as it is quite a clear example of the influence of 'high-level' expectation (i.e. what escalators do) on a very 'low-level' sub-cortical region (i.e. vestibular processing). Being of no interest to you does not make it unnoteworthy. It is probably going to be referred to (as a useful shorthand) in future published scientific papers.

Forest Service Chief Jack Ward Thomas acknowledged before a Senate panel Wednesday that his agency historically has asked Congress for dramatically less money than is needed to fight forest fires.
The Forest Service has spent nearly $300 million in each of the last three years on fire suppression at national forests, but is asking for less than $90 million for that purpose in the coming fiscal year.
“That’s really riding a high-wire act with no net underneath,” said Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., chairman of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on the Interior.
“If you think you are nervous, my palms are sweaty,” the chief replied during questioning.
“I don’t mean to be funny,” he continued. “We’re already $400 million in hock” to other agency funds where money is borrowed to cover the firefighting costs.
As has become typical over the years, the Forest Service most likely will return to Congress during the course of the next fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 to request emergency, supplemental funding to cover fire costs, he said.
“Today may not be the day, but some day we have to face up to the realities of fire control,” Thomas told the panel.
“It has never been dealt with responsibly. We just act like it won’t happen. I really should be the subject of a review. We simply have evolved into a situation where we have not been as up front as we should be,” he said.
Gorton said Congress shares the blame.
“That really has been true on both sides of the table,” the senator said.
Thomas and Agriculture Undersecretary James Lyons also testified Wednesday about logging levels anticipated on national forests in the coming year.
They confirmed harvests on federal lands in Oregon, Washington and northern California will at some point exceed the 1 billion-board-foot level in President Clinton’s Northwest forest plan to make up shortfalls in recent years.
Clinton’s plan was projected to produce an average of 1 billion board feet annually between 1992 and 2002. Thomas said it produced roughly 200 million, 400 million and 600 million board feet on national forests in the last three years in Oregon and Washington, and should approach 800 million board feet in fiscal year 1997.
Another 150 million board feet projected on Bureau of Land Management lands and additional harvests on California lands should push that total close to 1 billion, he said.
All national forests nationwide are expected to produce about 4.2 billion board feet of timber in fiscal 1997 - about 1.4 billion of that in the form of salvage timber.
National harvests exceeded 12 billion board feet annually during the peak harvest years of the 1980s before a series of federal court rulings found the logging in the Northwest to be in violation of U.S. environmental laws.

At Hunt Valley Dental, it is not enough for our team to design and place natural-looking dentures. We strive to create jaw-dropping gorgeous dentures. No stone is left unturned when planning your replacement teeth. Our dentist, Dr. Thomas Rhodes, stands by the quality of our dentures so much that he offers an exceptionally rare five-year warranty. If your new teeth fail for any reason (“factor or incident”), the repair- or replacement-related costs will be covered by the Dental Warranty Company as per the terms and conditions of your warranty certificate. This provides peace of mind to patients in Cockeysville, Maryland, and the greater Towson and Baltimore area.
Patients’ satisfaction with dentures depends on numerous factors, notably proper fit. As a high-tech dental practice, we use advanced diagnostics to collect precise details and information about your mouth. This information is used to fabricate your one-of-a-kind dentures. When dentures fit seamlessly in your mouth, you avoid many of the complaints that have been historically associated with this form of tooth replacement. Patients can eat comfortably and efficiently. They speak confidently and clearly. They don’t slip around or cause sores and irritation.
Additionally, Dr. Rhodes uses premium dental materials. These materials optimally replicate the appearance and strength of natural teeth and supportive tissues. When planning your dentures, he also accounts for your facial features, such as the whites of the eyes and your skin tone. So, they enhance the appearance of your face naturally. Durable, quality materials also promote lasting functionality. These dentures are less likely to break and require repair. With that being said, we are your partners in oral health. Routine visits to our office are necessary because we can then check that your dentures remain in top shape. As needed, Dr. Rhodes will reline or otherwise adjust your denture. That way, it continues to fit as designed.
For the ultimate stability, we can discuss dentures designed with dental implants. The denture is held in place in the jaw by implants. In turn, the implant functions like a natural tooth root. Our use of mini implants allows more patients, even those with bone loss, to experience the joys of dentures designed like natural teeth.
To learn more about the many tooth replacement options available at our Hunt Valley, MD office, call us! We can be reached at (410) 705-2111. Or, for your convenience, request an appointment at the tab on this website.

First Baptist Church has won City Commission approval to rezone 14 acres it owns near Woolbright Road and Interstate 95 so that a medical campus can be built there.
The unanimous approval came over the objections of neighboring homeowners but to the applause of dozens of church members who attended Tuesday's meeting.
"I think this is the least objectionable use of anything out there," City Commissioner Shirley Jaskiewicz told the crowd.
The neighbors, who said the plan would clog neighborhood streets, were disappointed.
First Baptist no longer wanted to build a church on the land, which they have owned for 10 years near Woolbright Road just west of Home Depot.
The church wants to sell the land to a developer who will build a 67,000-square-foot medical center, a 60-bed adult living complex and a 120-bed nursing home. First, the church needed a zoning change.
The request prompted outcries from neighboring homeowners who said motorists use Southwest Eighth Street as a shortcut. Additional commercial development would make it worse, they said.
To help make the zoning change palatable, the medical campus developers said they would reduce its size to 39,000 square feet and they would redesign the parking lot so visitors could turn only south on Southwest Eighth Street to Woolbright Road. They also offered to install speed humps to slow traffic.

A branch of the Black Lives Matter movement in Philadelphia hasbanned white peoplefrom an upcoming meeting, in what the organizers say will be a “black only space.”
The meeting, which takes place April 15th, invites people to “meet, strategize and organize” events and is apparently family-friendly, with families encouraged to bring their children along as well.
After criticism directed at the decision, the group defended their policy, stating that “If you identify as a person of the African Diaspora you can attend our meetings and become a member. If not you can support us in other ways.”

In the traditional sense of the ground game, there's a clear distinction between the types of players who play tailback and fullback.
But in the Packers' new zone-blocking run scheme, the distinction is blurred in that the fullback isn't necessarily the prototype battering ram fairly customary at the position.
In this scheme, the fullback is more of a backup tailback with the athleticism to carry out the responsibilities of both positions, except he'll rarely carry the ball. It may be easier to find players who fit that description than the straight-ahead blaster of a fullback, but it's not easy to find someone who can excel in the role.
"You have to be an athletic guy, you have to be able to read and adjust like a halfback would," running backs coach Edgar Bennett said. "You have to be a good receiver, you have to be smart so you can pick up your protections. You have to be an overall football player. I think that's the bottom line."
The reason the fullback doesn't need to be a big, bruising blocker is the way the zone scheme works. As the offensive line flows in one direction, with each lineman responsible for an area rather than an individual defender, it's harder for a linebacker to simply pick a hole and attack. So when the fullback is making the read on the defender he needs to block, that player isn't likely to have a full head of steam.
"He's assigned a specific guy, but he's got all those linemen in front of him, knowing their respective gaps, so he doesn't have linebackers running downhill on him all the time," offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski said. "You don't have to be that big hammer to be a fullback in this system."
Jagodzinski brought the zone-blocking scheme here from Atlanta, where he learned it from former offensive line coach Alex Gibbs. The past few years, Justin Griffith has been the starting fullback for the Falcons. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 232 pounds (on a good day, Jagodzinski said), Griffith has more of a tailback's body.
The Broncos, with whom Gibbs first installed the zone-blocking scheme, are another team that doesn't employ a traditional fullback.
"You look at Denver right now, they've got three free agents at fullback, and they were all halfbacks in college," Jagodzinski said. "They were good runners but they weren't quite fast enough."
So where does that leave the Packers in their effort to fill this role, particularly with starter William Henderson out three weeks, and maybe more, with a knee injury? With plenty to work with, actually.
Tailbacks Noah Herron and Samkon Gado as well as the backup tight ends have been "cross-training," as Head Coach Mike McCarthy terms it, taking certain snaps at fullback with Henderson out, along with backup fullback Vonta Leach.
Herron's versatility was noticed during mini-camps and organized team activities (OTAs) in the spring, and his value in that regard has been evident during training camp.
McCarthy already has stated an interest in possibly keeping four tailbacks on the roster, and the ability to help the offense another way certainly bodes well for any of the backs fighting for roster spots.
"In this offense, you're always preparing to play both positions," Bennett said. "If you're a halfback or fullback, you ought to be able to jump in there and play the other position.
"I think all of these guys are more than capable of doing that. I think they have the right attitude to get in there and cover somebody up and make those blocks as a fullback."
Henderson himself has been more of a traditional fullback his first 11 seasons, but the coaching staff believes he can make the adjustment very well because of his experience.
Henderson is still adept at catching passes out of the backfield and has the savvy to handle the role, even though his 6-1, 252-pound frame is larger than a guy like Griffith. So there's every indication Henderson will be the Packers' first option at fullback when he's healthy, which could be as soon as the season opener Sept. 10.
"According to coach, this could add some life to my career because I'm not doing the smash-mouth iso-blocking that I've done in the past," Henderson said. "Not as much anyway. There will be some.
"But the ability for me to get open and wiggle and get around blocks and adjust to different defensive formations is key, it's something I can do."
Ultimately, a traditional fullback may not have a position to call his own in this offense. But that may make for a more well-rounded roster in the end.
"What that does is give you an extra roster spot if a guy can play two positions," Jagodzinski said. "Our tight ends can play fullback, too. David Martin could do it, with what we're asking our fullback to do."
As the preseason continues, the team will continue to explore that option as well.
"It gives you a lot of flexibility to go from a two-back team to a one-back team, but keep all your two-back principles when you have a tight end who can do the fullback responsibilities," McCarthy said.

Irish nationalist hero Michael Collins has been voted Person of the 20th Century in an online poll carried out by the Irish Times newspaper.
Collins, a charismatic military leader and a key figure in the birth of the modern Irish state, took the number one spot ahead of Nelson Mandela, Gandhi and Mother Teresa after a month of voting that began in mid-December, the paper said Monday.
It said around 30,000 votes were registered in the poll, which allowed voters to type any name they wished instead of choosing from a predetermined list.
Collins, portrayed by Liam Neeson in Irish director Neil Jordan's 1996 biopic "Michael Collins," also topped the Irish Person of the Century category ahead of another founding father, Eamon de Valera, Northern Ireland nationalist politician John Hume, Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams and Irish Republican Army hunger striker Bobby Sands.
Literature categories in the poll were dominated by James Joyce, who was voted both Writer of the Century and Irish Writer of the Century, and whose masterpiece "Ulysses" was deemed Book of the Century ahead of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye."
Joyce was trailed by poet W.B. Yeats and playwright Samuel Beckett in the Irish writer category, and by John Updike, Tolkien, Yeats and John Steinbeck on the world list.

Cross-chain protocol Wormhole will launch its W governance token on Wednesday, with several cryptocurrency exchanges announcing plans to list the token shortly after the airdrop claim opens up to eligible users.
Wormhole previously announced details for the W token airdrop, with more than 400,000 total wallets eligible to participate in the claim. In total, 617.3 million W tokens have been allocated for the initial community and ecosystem airdrop, which will reward early users on Solana, Ethereum, and other chains, along with various crypto communities.
Late last week, Wormhole declared via a Twitter (aka X) post that April 3 will be “Wormhole Wednesday,” and that the W airdrop claim will begin at 11:30am UTC.
Now it appears that the token will be able to trade very soon thereafter, as multiple exchanges announced Monday that they plan to list the W token for spot trading at 12pm UTC on Wednesday. The list of exchanges now includes Binance, Kraken, Bitget, OKX, Backpack, and Gate.io so far, though further exchanges are likely to join the list.
Given the size of the airdrop and prominence of the protocol in question, W is likely to be one of the year’s biggest token launches to date. The W token is launching as a native Solana SPL20 token, but will be expanded to support Ethereum’s ERC-20 token standard once launched, representing the cross-chain nature of the protocol.
W was priced at $1.65 in pre-market trading on Monday via Whales Market, and Wormhole has said that 1.8 billion W tokens will be circulating at launch (out of 10 billion in total).
If that price holds on until the actual token launch on Wednesday, then the token would launch with a market cap of nearly $3 billion. That would make it the 50th-largest cryptocurrency, as of this writing, per data from CoinGecko.
Editor’s note: This story was updated after publication to add Binance, Kraken, and Backpack to the list of exchanges that will list the Wormhole token after the airdrop.
