California millers, lab technicians, warehouse and maintenance workers knew they had the right ingredients to win Teamster representation at Ardent Mills.
After years of making and handling flour for the company’s milling center in Colton, Calif., the 24-person unit stood strong in their fight for a voice on the job, overcoming management’s tough opposition to join Local 166 in Bloomington, Calif.
“We have had a hard time with a supervisor and we needed to form our union to begin getting treated fairly,” said Raul Alvarez, a lead worker on the organizing committee and three-and-a-half-year employee for the company. “Our health insurance is also very, very expensive. I pay $320 a month out-of-pocket for a family plan with very high co-pays.”
In addition to better health care, the 24-worker bargaining unit is also looking to put an end to favoritism and unfair work rules, said Joe Maae, a business agent and organizer with Local 166.
“They need fair, consistent work rules and better benefits. Some workers are required to do other jobs and they are paying a lot out of pocket each month on health care,” Maae said.
Local 166 Secretary-Treasurer Mike Bergen is looking forward to negotiating a contract for his new members at the Ardent Mill’s bakery-mix center.
“The workers are desperately seeking respect and fairness on the job and we will work hard to negotiate a contract that addresses their needs at Ardent Mills,” Bergen said.

Domicile drivers at US Foods in Kalamazoo, Mich. recently voted to join Local 337.
The drivers voted more than 70 percent in favor of representation, joining more than 200 US Foods drivers and warehouse workers in Novi, Mich. who are already members of Local 337.
“This is a tremendous victory for our members, the local and the International Union in our joint goal to organize Sysco and US Foods locations nationwide,” said Local 337 President Mike Martin. “We thank the US Foods domicile drivers for supporting our union and look forward to representing them in the rich tradition of the Teamsters.”
“This was really a group effort which helped secure an important victory,” said Local 337 Secretary-Treasurer Pat Dougherty. “It was very tough, as the company fought our campaign. However, in the end the truth about our union prevailed as workers voted to take charge and improve their workplace by joining the Teamsters Union.”
US Foods mounted an aggressive antiunion campaign to dissuade workers from supporting Local 337. However, to their credit, the drivers rebuffed the company, stayed united and got the union they wanted.

Red Cross employees in Omaha, Neb., recently voted to join the Teamsters.
Fifty-seven mobile Red Cross blood collection agents based in Grand Island and North Platte, Neb., selected union representation when the ballots were tabulated on Dec. 18, 2015.
The phlebotomists, collections specialists, technicians, mobile unit assistants and apheresis employees voted 39-13 in a combined election to join Local 554.
“Everyone is thrilled for these workers,” said Scott Uteck, a business agent with Local 554. “They stuck together and their strength will be rewarded with their first contract. We congratulate them, and especially everyone on the organizing committee, for all of their hard work and dedication that led to this successful effort.”
“We have a newfound confidence at work knowing the Teamsters have our back to negotiate and enforce a contract that protects our employment interests,” said Courtney Sklenar, a Red Cross collection specialist based in Grand Island.

Ozark Automotive Distributors
For half a decade, workers at a warehouse in Moreno Valley, Calif. have gone without union representation despite voting in favor of joining Local 166 in 2010. Now the 65 warehouse workers and drivers of Ozark Automotive Distributors, who stock and deliver supplies to O'Reilly Auto Parts stores, can finally call themselves Teamsters. An election held on Jan. 8 resulted in a majority voting in favor of joining the union.
"This has been an epic fight for these workers and our local but we prevailed at every turn," said Mike Bergen, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 166 in Bloomington, Calif. "The company fought tooth and nail to prevent the workers from having the Teamster representation they voted for but the workers at the warehouse held strong throughout the five-year saga."
The workers first reached out to the union after the company changed the pay format from hourly to piecemeal. A majority voted in favor of the union in a 2010 election but the company filed objections with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). After the NLRB ruled against the company, Ozark took the board's decision to court, losing one appeal after the other as the case went all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Even after the Supreme Court ruled against it, the company remained obstinate. Local 166 then withdrew several objections it had filed against the company, prompting the NLRB to call for a new election this year. Once again, the workers voted in support of the union, putting an end to the years-long struggle for representation.
"It feels great. It's such a relief to finally have our union after five long years of sticking together during all the appeals," said Robert Castilleja, a six-year driver at the company.

We were very happy to hear several different stories over the past few weeks which spotlighted the amazing contributions former Cheetahs athletes continue to provide in their careers after leaving Vanier.
By Denis Lafontaine, Vanier Athletics Webmaster
FOOTBALL ALUMNI PLAYER AND COACH NEWS
VANIER CUP: Former Cheetahs star quarterback Hugo Richard has continued to enjoy tremendous success with the Université de Laval Rouge et Or. In the university league semi-final Uteck Bowl on November 17th, Richard led his team to a dominating 63-0 home victory over the visiting St. Francis Xavier X-Men of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, thus advancing to the Vanier Cup finals. Hugo completed 22 of 27 passes for 327 yards and 5 touchdowns in the game. See one of his TD tosses in the following video. Just click here.
Earlier on November 21st, Hugo Richard won the the Jeff Russel Trophy (for RSEQ MVP) for the second consecutive season and the third time of his amazing career. The Rouge & Or pivot led the RSEQ with 2,185 passing yards and 18 touchdown passes. He also led the conference with an average of 273.1 passing yards per game. Richard also set a pair of RSEQ records along the way, including his 70 career TD passes shattering the previous mark of 68 held since 2015 by the Vert & Or de l’Université Sherbrooke’s Jeremi Roch (another Vanier Cheetahs alum). Richard also became the first player in league history to throw over 60 touchdown passes and also rush for 30 TDs. It was later announced at the annual Vanier Cup gala awards banquet that Hugo was a finalist for the Hec Crighton Trophy, awarded to the most outstanding player in Canadian university football as well as quarterback for the 2nd All-Star offensive team (indicating he was 2nd in the voting just behind the winner, Calgary Dinos QB Adam Sinagra). Other former Cheetahs honoured at the national awards ceremony were ULaval linebacker Brian Harelimana and Ottawa cornerback Jamie Harry who were both named to the 1st All-Star Defensive team, a tremendous accomplishment. Another ex-Cheetah honoured was Concordia’s Peter Regimbald, who was Vanier’s head coach in the 1979 and 1980 seasons. He received the Gino Fracas Award as the Assistant Coach of the year, as selected by Football Canada.
Besides Hugo Richard, other former Cheetahs playing for the Rouge et Or in the Vanier Cup included Zack Fitzgerald, Kean Harelimana, Clément Lebreux, Étienne Moisan, Alexandre Savard, and Marc-Antoine Varin. As well, Cheetahs alum Grégoire Bouchard played for the opposing Mustangs from Western University in the Vanier Cup final match which was held in Québec City on Saturday, November 24th. Things started well for Laval with Richard throwing a 46-yard TD toss on just his 2nd pass of the game. The Rouge et Or built up a 10-0 lead in the first quarter and they held a 17-13 lead at the half. Then Laval really took charge and drove their home crowd into a frenzy building up a solid 34-13 lead by the end of the 4th quarter. Western scored a touchdown with 2 minutes left in the game, but it was clearly too little too late and the Rouge et Or held on for the dominant 34-20 victory. For the second time in his career, Hugo Richard was named as the Vanier Cup Offensive MVP. In the game, he completed 23-of-31 pass attempts for 348 yards and two touchdowns, and he also ran for 60 yards, scoring a TD himself. Congratulations to you all for a well-deserved National Championship win!
2018 FOOTBALL CHEETAHS SIGNED:
We found out that star Defensive Back Kaylyn St-Cyr from this year’s Cheetahs team has signed with the Université de Montréal Carabins for their 2019 season.
He will have many former Vanier players as teammates since ex-Cheetahs playing for the Carabins in the 2018 season included Mathieu Boucher-Piement, Bénédicte Cayo, Ryth Jean Giraud, François Hamel, Brian Harelimana, Claude Adler Joseph, Redha Kramdi, and Jordan Perrin. Also, ex-Cheetah Byron Archambault, who was one of the finalists for CFL Rookie of the Year in 2015, is on the Carabins coaching staff where he is Special Units Coordinator and Linebackers Coach. Congratulations, Kaylyn! For more on his signing, just click here.
As well, we learned that star running back Kevin Foster Verdier has been signed by the Concordia Stingers in an announcement made by Stingers head coach (and… you guessed it, former football Cheetah) Brad Collinson.
Kevin was not just Vanier’s leading rusher in the 2018 season, he also led the entire league with a whopping total of 971 yards on 159 carries.
To read more on Kevin’s signing, just click here.
The first signing we heard of was that of Offensive Lineman Julian El Hajj who was picked up quickly by the McGill Redmen in an announcement that was made on October 5th. He has been a starting tackle and guard ever since his rookie season with Vanier.
Julian has excelled at Vanier both on and off the field. He was an academic all-star in 2016 and 2017 as well as a league all-star in 2017. He is looking forward to learning from the team’s offensive line coach Marc Glaude (yes, ANOTHER ex-Cheetah) during Julian’s years at McGill.

GREY CUP NEWS:
Two former Cheetahs, Justin Howell and Jean-Marc Edmé, were on the roster of the Ottawa Redblacks in the Grey Cup match VS the Calgary Stampeders which was held on Sunday, November 25th at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium. The Stampeders prevailed for the 27-14 championship win. Previously in the semi-final match against Hamilton, Justin had six tackles for Ottawa in their 46-27 win over the Ti-Cats. Ex-Cheetah Jean-Marc Edmé is the Director of Player Personnel for the Redblacks.
Also, former Cheetahs player Ben Major, who has been a CFL Official for the past 14 seasons (240 games) participated in his 6th Grey Cup game. Ben’s position puts him right in the heat of the action, and all those flying bodies can prove a real threat, as seen in this story on Ben from 2014 after he received a pretty gruesome facial injury stemming from an accidental kick from the errant foot of Alouettes’ Kyries Hebert. Click here for the full story.
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL ALUMNI COACH NEWS
We were extremely happy to hear that former Lady Basketball Cheetahs Head Coach Chantal Vallée has just been named as only the 2nd woman EVER in North America to act as head coach of a men’s pro team, and she is the first to hold both the head coach and general manager positions of a Canadian men’s professional basketball team. It was announced that she will be coach and general manager for the Hamilton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League.
After leaving Vanier in 2004, Chantal joined the University of Windsor Lancers women’s basketball program as head coach. When she started with them, the Lancers had had a losing record for quite a few years prior, but Chantal turned the team around within a few short years. In her first year the team had a record of 9-13 in 2005-06, but by 2008-09, the team’s record had improved to a stellar 21-1 under Chantal’s guidance. Then from 2010-11 to 2014-15, the Lancers pulled off a phenomenal 5 straight National Championships. Congratulations, Chantal! Read more about her ground-breaking appointment. Just click here. You can also see a great 7-minute interview with her in French from the RDS website about her new position with the Hamilton Honey Badgers. Click here to watch it.
MEN’S BASKETBALL ALUMNI PLAYER NEWS
Former Vanier star player Tevonn Walker is enjoying a tremendous amount of success playing in a professional league in Germany for the Hamburg Towers. After sustaining an injury early in the season, he seems to have made a full recovery and is now showing something close to the full measure of his incredible talent. The following profile on him includes video footage, and when the camera cuts to his interview section, he is clearly seen to be wearing a Cheetahs shirt. Way ta go, Tevonn!

Is vodka an ethanol?
According to the US government, vodka is ethyl alcohol “without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color,” yet each brand insists it’s unique.
That may be: Water as a diluent leads to the formation of ethanol-water hydrates, in which an alcohol molecule is “trapped” in a cage of water molecules..
What alcohol is 70 proof?
Thus pure 100% alcohol will have 100×(7⁄4) = 175 proof, and a spirit containing 40% ABV will have 40×(7⁄4) = 70° proof. The proof system in the United States was established around 1848 and was based on percent alcohol rather than specific gravity. 50% alcohol by volume was defined as 100 proof.
Can you get drunk on hand sanitizer?
Chemical Composition of Hand Sanitizer Two types of alcohol are used in alcohol-based hand sanitizers. The most common type contains between 60% and 95% ethanol (ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol). This type of hand sanitizer can get you buzzed or drunk, but it’s the equivalent to 120-proof liquor.
What alcohol is 200 proof?
What does 200 Proof mean? For our purposes, 200 Proof means the liquid is 100% Ethanol, versus 190 Proof, which means it is a 95% Ethanol solution where the other 5% is water.
What is the purest alcohol spirit?
If you’re looking to be healthier while drinking alcohol occasionally, these are the healthiest alcohols you can choose from.Tequila. Shutterstock/Maria Uspenskaya Tequila has numerous health benefits (and is lower in calories than Smirnoff vodka). … Red Wine. … Rum. … Whiskey. … Rosé … Champagne.
Can you drink 100 percent alcohol?
You could, and it would get you drunk but it would probably also make you fairly sick and you might not be able to keep it down. Be aware that a lot of the pure “alcohol” that you can buy in the pharmacy and such aren’t the same kinds of alcohol you drink and can in fact be quite toxic.
Can you drink 95 percent alcohol?
The 95% is not as important as the total amount of alcohol consumed. That is, if you can keep the stuff down, you can drink as much of a drink containing 95% alcohol as you can any other drink containing the same amount of ethanol. 12 oz, 6% beer has less than an ounce of pure alcohol.
What drink is 100 percent alcohol?
While your everyday Absoluts and Macallans average between 80 and 100 proof, some specialty liquors come with proofs as high as 196, or 98 percent alcohol.
Can Spirytus kill you?
One review found by The Wall Street Journal called it “death in a bottle with a hellish burning aftertaste.” The signature burn will leave you Rekt, and it may kill just about anything: At the end of February, spirytus sold out in Japan as fears about COVID-19 mounted.
What brand of vodka is 100 proof?
AbsolutAbsolut 100 Proof Vodka – Absolut 100.
Can 100 percent alcohol kill you?
According to Livestrong.org, “The approximate lethal dose of 90 to 100 percent isopropanol for human adults is only 250 milliliters, or about 8 ounces.” Eight ounces. To put it in perspective: the average shot glass is 1.5 ounces. A can of Coke is 12 ounces. Ingesting only eight ounces of rubbing alcohol can kill you.
What is the highest percentage of alcohol you can drink?
95%With a whopping 95% abv, Spirytus Vodka is the strongest commercially-available spirit in the world.
Can you drink 90 percent alcohol?
All alcohols are potentially deadly if you drink enough over a short period of time, but rubbing alcohol is generally 70 percent pure alcohol, or 140 proof. As little as 8 ounces can be lethal.
Why is 70 alcohol better than 95?
Ethyl Alcohol is also a slightly better virucide than IPA. A 70% solution of Ethyl Alcohol 95% kills organisms by denaturing their proteins and dissolving their lipids and is effective against most bacteria, fungi and many viruses, but is ineffective against bacterial spores.
Can you drink isopropyl alcohol to get drunk?
It can cause a feeling of intoxication. But isopropyl alcohol is much more potent than ethyl alcohol. Someone who swallows isopropyl alcohol can act drunk. Effects include sedation, slurred speech, unsteadiness when walking, and vomiting.
What is 95% alcohol used for?
Ethyl Alcohol, 95%, 30 mlFormulaCH3CH2OH or C2H5OHShelf Life36 MonthsAlternate NameAlcohol, ethanolCommon UsesUsed for molecular biology experiments (i.e. DNA extraction), testing for starch, alcohol lamp fuel, etc.HazardFlammable and Combustible Liquid8 more rows
What vodka is 180 proof?
Crum and Sarathy also suggest 180 proof spirits, which have 90% ethanol, or higher. Everclear vodka, for instance, has 190 proof and 95% alcohol.

By Henry Schulman
Washington – Game 2 of this Division Series was epic. It will go down as a marathon pitching classic, the longest game by time in postseason history, a contest that will not be forgotten in the jumble of October memories.
It was seasoned with a successful last-gasp San Francisco rally in the ninth inning to tie the game, questionable decisions by both managers and a critical call by video replay umpires in New York that sent this game spinning deep into a frigid Saturday night.
It also will go down as the Giants’ 10th consecutive postseason victory, matching the third-longest streak in big-league history, and the night Brandon Belt truly arrived.
Belt’s leadoff homer in the 18th inning, on a 3-2 pitch from right-hander Tanner Roark, gave the Giants a 2-1 victory and a lead of two games to none in the best-of-five series, with two chances to capture the series at AT&T Park.
Madison Bumgarner faces Doug Fister in Game 3 Monday in a rmatch of a 2-0 Giants victory in Game 2 of the 2012 World Series against the Tigers.
Yusmeiro Petit saved the Giants in this 6 hour, 23-minute game with six one-hit innings in his postseason debut, from the 12th to the 17th, and got the victory. Rookie Hunter Strickland saved it.
When the game reached 5 hours, 51 minutes, it became the longest game in postseason history, surpassing an 18-inning Astros-Braves game in a 2005 Division Series that also was a postseason record for innings.
Tim Hudson started that game for Atlanta. He started this one for San Francisco.
This game lasted into the night only because of some true last-minute Giants heroics.
They were down to their final out in the ninth with nobody on base, as Jordan Zimmermann attempted to complete a three-hit shutout, when they took advantage of Matt Williams’ decision to go to closer Drew Storen to face Buster Posey and get the final out after Zimmermann walked Joe Panik to end a string of 20 consecutive batters retired.
Posey singled, and the Giants tied the game 1-1 on Pablo Sandoval’s RBI double, which scored Panik from second. But Posey was thrown out at home trying to score the go-ahead run from first.
Manager Bruce Bochy had plenty of speed on his bench to run for Posey, with Susac available to catch, but elected to keep him in, a decision surely to be questioned.
As left fielder Bryce Harper dug the ball out of the corner and threw to cutoff man Ian Desmond, third-base coach Tim Flannery sent Posey around third.
Posey slid, but catcher Wilson Ramos appeared to tag him on the hip a fraction of a second before Posey’s foot touched the plate.
Home-plate umpire Vic Campazza called Posey out. Bochy immediately sought a review. The umps in New York upheld the call, sending a 1-1 game into the bottom of the ninth, a 1-2-3 inning for Sergio Romo.
Zimmermann outdueled a very sharp Hudson by becoming Hudson, forcing the Giants to pound the ball into the ground.
The Giants did not have a hit against Zimmermann after Travis Ishikawa’s leadoff single in the third.
Hudson, who became the source of a contrived controversy that centerd on, well, what is centered between a man’s legs, held up his end of the pitching tete-a-tete but failed in his quest to win in the postseason for the first time since 2001.
In his best start since late August, Hudson pitched into the eighth inning and allowed one run, on a two-out RBI single in the fourth by Anthony Rendon, who had four of Washington’s seven hits against Hudson.
Hudson struck out eight and did not walk a batter.
Hudson beat the Nationals twice in the regular season to run his career record against that franchise to 18-5. Before the game, Williams said the key was to lay off Hudson’s good sinkers and force him to elevate.
But Hudson did what he does and got four outs on the ground in the first two innings.
The Nationals got their first lead of the series and the first run off a Giants starter this postseason when Rendon shot a two-out single in the third just under diving Brandon Crawford’s glove to score Cabrera, who hit a leadoff double.
Hudson then showed his mettle when he struck out Harper on a 3-2 changeup and Ramos on a sinker to strand Desmond on second base.

Wellspring Foundation pledges $4 million toward new workforce hub in Abingdon
Wellspring Foundation of Southwest Virginia will give $4 million toward the creation of a new workforce development and child care hub in Abingdon.
The 87,000-square-foot facility is expected to open next summer. It will include a child care center, STEM labs for teacher training, a career simulation center and other workforce programs. The project, which was announced last month, is a collaboration among United Way of Southwest Virginia, Food City and the town of Abingdon.
“As we learned in our community health needs assessment, insufficient access to childcare is a major factor in loss of young talent in the workforce,” Sean McMurray, executive director of the Wellspring Foundation, said in a news release announcing the gift. “Leveraging collaborative partnerships with United Way of Southwest Virginia and other local organizations is a great step in addressing the dire need for additional childcare in our region as well as making a positive impact on meeting critical workforce needs.”
The Abingdon-based foundation was created in 2021 following the sale of Johnston Memorial Healthcare Foundation’s minority ownership stake in Johnston Memorial Hospital to Ballad Health.

Rijk de Gooyer
Rijk de Gooyer was born into a Dutch Reformed family and was born and raised in Utrecht. He has a fraternal twin. At the end of the Second World War he swam across the River Waal to the already-liberated southern part of the Netherlands. He joined the liberation army and was involved in freeing the rest of the Netherlands and the German concentration camp, Bergen-Belsen. After the war, he studied law for a few months prior to becoming an actor in radio plays for the NCRV (the Dutch Christian Broadcasting Corporation).
In 1948, De Gooyer acted in Wim Kan's ABC Cabaret. In 1952 he met Johnny Kraaykamp, Sr. The two decided to perform together and were discovered by the AVRO (the General Association of Radio Broadcasting). They had great success with their Johnny en Rijk-show. From 1959 to 1961, De Gooyer went to acting school in Berlin and in 1964 he had a hit with the song 'Brief uit La Courtine', with music written by Ponchielli and text by Eli Asser.
As a film actor, De Gooyer played in films such as Kleren maken de man, De inbreker, Soldaat van Oranje, De avonden, Hoogste tijd and Qui vive. In 1991 the VARA Broadcasting Association ran the television series In voor en tegenspoed in which he played the role of Fred Schuit.
De Gooyer won a Golden Calf three times in his life. In 1982 he refused to accept the award, which he received for his entire oeuvre. He threw his second Golden Calf, awarded for his film Hoogste tijd, out the window of Maarten Spanjer's television taxi because, as he put it, the awards were a lame imitation of an Oscar ceremony. The third time he was awarded a Golden Calf, for the film Madelief, krassen in het tafelblad from 1999, he accepted it.

Fifa presidential election: Gianni Infantino succeeds Sepp Blatter
Last updated on .From the section Football
Gianni Infantino has succeeded fellow Swiss Sepp Blatter as president of world football's governing body Fifa.
The Uefa secretary general polled 115 votes, 27 more than closest rival Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa.
Prince Ali bin al-Hussein (four votes) and Jerome Champagne (0) were third and fourth respectively.
Blatter, who had led Fifa since 1998, stood down last year and was later suspended from football for six years for breaching ethics guidelines.
Infantino is a 45-year-old lawyer from Brig in the Valais region of Switzerland, less than six miles from Blatter's home town of Visp.
He entered the presidential race when it became clear that Michel Platini, boss of European football's governing body Uefa, could not stand.
"I will work tirelessly to bring football back to Fifa and Fifa back to football," he said. "This is what we want to do."
He added: "I feel a lot of emotion and have not realised yet what has happened today. It is still very fresh and it's been a long and exciting journey and I probably need some time to chill out and see what has happened."
The election was due to be fought between five candidates, but South African Tokyo Sexwale withdrew before voting began in Zurich.
The first round of voting failed to determine an outright winner, though Infantino led with 88, three more than pre-vote favourite Sheikh Salman.
A simple majority of more than 50% - 104 of 207 available votes - was sufficient for victory in round two.
Not since 1974, when Joao Havelange of Brazil beat 13-year incumbent Stanley Rous of England, has a second round been needed.
What will Infantino do now?
An emotional Infantino told delegates that together they would "restore the image of Fifa and the respect of Fifa".
He added: "I want to work with all of you together in order to restore and rebuild a new era of Fifa where we can again put football at the centre of the stage.
"Fifa has gone through sad times, moments of crisis, but those times are over. We need to implement the reform and implement good governance and transparency. We also need to have respect.
"We're going to win back this respect through hard work, commitment and we're going to make sure we can finally focus on this wonderful game."
Has he been well received?
Gary Lineker, an outspoken critic of Fifa and former president Blatter, wished Infantino "all the best" following his appointment.
The former England striker added on Twitter: "He's got one hell of a job on his hands but seems a decent chap. Needs a sizeable new broom."
The television presenter then joked: "Have this weird feeling that Gianni Infantino will pull off his mask to reveal Sepp Blatter."
Portuguese great Luis Figo added his congratulations, tweeting: "Finally the change arrived. It's time for a new era in Fifa."
English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke said: "He is not a politician and he is not an ego. Fifa has been dominated by egos for a very long time. He is the type of person who will just get on with the job."
Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko said: "I am happy. We supported him from the start. World football needs such a pragmatist."
German football federation interim president Rainer Koch said: "We are happy and relieved with Gianni Infantino's victory and the fact that European football will continue to have a strong influence."
Norway's Karen Espelund, a member of Uefa's executive committee, added: "We needed someone credible, we needed a clean winner, a clean man. I believe we have that in Gianni."
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said he was looking forward to working with Infantino for "the sake of sport".
US Soccer president Sunil Gulati tweeted: "Congratulations. We look forward to working together to embrace reform and good governance."
Beaten opponent Sheikh Salman said that the Asian Football Confederation would look forward to working with the new-look Fifa and its president to reform world football's governing body and to "reinstate football's credibility globally".

|Read: Infantino wants to 'reunite' football|
|Read: 'Why 'F' is for football and not Fifa'|
Has Blatter reacted?
Yes, the 79-year-old issued a statement after the election. It read: "I congratulate Gianni Infantino sincerely and warmly on his election as the new president.
"With his experience, expertise, strategic and diplomatic skills he has all the qualities to continue my work and to stabilize Fifa again."
What now for Fifa?
Infantino has a hard job resurrecting its fortunes after a number of damaging episodes in the organisation's history.
Criminal investigations in the United States and Switzerland have resulted in the indictment of dozens of football officials for corruption, many of them serving or former presidents of national or continental associations.
In addition, Fifa has been forced to investigate the awarding of several World Cup finals, especially the decision to grant the 2018 tournament to Russia and the 2022 finals to Qatar.
Swiss authorities are reviewing more than 150 reports of suspicious financial activity linked to those awards and said they had sent more documents, including an internal Fifa report, to US investigators.
So will we see change?
That's the "big question" says BBC sports editor Dan Roan. "Fifa came into today very much on the brink, its future on the line," he added.
"If it failed to elect the 'right man' and failed to pass the reforms needed, then the calls for it to be wound up would have become impossible to ignore.
"Many of those in the game will be breathing a sigh of relief. But it's important to remember Infantino is a football insider himself. He has close links with a disgraced power-broker in Platini."
What else happened in Zurich?
To help the new president tackle the crisis enveloping Fifa, key reforms were passed to help make it a more transparent and accountable organisation.
All salaries of Fifa officials will be disclosed, while a limit of four years has been placed on a president's term.
A new council to replace the current executive committee has also been introduced, featuring a female representative from each confederation.
Dyke said the reforms were "more important" than the new leader.

Events so far as of Wednesday 7 May 2PM.
On Friday (2 May) over 150 detainees in Harmondsworth migration prison
occupied the main courtyard in a sit down protest and began a mass hunger
strike. On Monday (5 May) supporters held solidarity noise demos outside
Harmondsworth and simultaneously at Dungavel (Scotlans). Yesterday evening
(Tuesday 6 May) protests started to spread to Colnbrook and Brook House
At lunchtime on Friday 2 May over 150 people detained in Harmondsworth,
the UK’s largest migration prison run by corporation GEO group for the
Home Office, staged a sit-down occupation of the main courtyard and began
hunger strike. They issued a set of demands (see below) protesting against
the ‘Fast Track’ system, under which refugees seeking asylum are
immediately imprisoned before their claims are even heard, as well as
further mistreatment in detention.
The protestors stayed in the courtyard until the evening, when the Home
Office sent 3 officials to meet with delegates of the protestors. The
officials took a petition signed by all of the protestors, and said they
would reply to the demands on Tuesday 6 May. The detainees decided to
suspend their hunger strike while they waited for the response.
On Monday (5 May) solidarity noise demos took place at Harmondsworth and
also at Dungavel detention centre in Scotland. At Harmondsworth, over 30
people made lots of noise with pots, pans, drums, whistles, etc. to let
the detainees know they are not alone. The people locked inside waved and
held up signs to the windows with messages such as ‘Unlawful Detention’
and ‘No Healthcare’. There was also contact over the phone, and the
prisoners said they were really glad of the support.
No big surprise, the Home Office broke its promise and still (1.30 PM
Wednesday 7 May) hasn’t given any reply to the protestors. Instead they
have moved rapidly to issue deportation tickets to several dozen people
involved in the protest.
However, yesterday (Tuesday 6 may) the unrest began to spread. In
Colnbrook detention centre, built right next to Harmondsworth, guards
broke up an organising meeting of 40 detainees inside Colnbrook yesterday
and put five ‘ringleaders’ in isolation cells, before moving them to
another secure facility. Supporters have since been unable to contact the
Then at 10pm last night a group of 20 men detained at Brook House IRC near
Gatwick staged a protest in the courtyard and refused to return to their
The prisoners have been particularly asking for us to help spread their

a tough struggle ahead, and need our active solidarity.

CASTLEFORD Tigers head coach Daryl Powell reiterated that it is “absolutely critical” to his side’s entire season that they do not become distracted in tomorrow’s game against relegated London Broncos.
The visit of Super League’s bottom club, that has lost all 23 games in all competitions this season, comes just a week before Castleford’s eagerly-anticipated Challenge Cup semi-final against Widnes Vikings.
Wembley, undoubtedly, is in everyone’s thoughts at Wheldon Road, as is securing a first top-four finish in the summer era.
But Powell, favourite to win the ‘Coach of the Year’ award given his side finished 12th last term, insisted: “We haven’t got too many games left and they are all equally important for individual players and for the collective group to maintain what we are doing.
“They are all crucial games and I can’t see any point at this stage of the season – when we have worked so hard – to start sitting back and allowing ourselves to get distracted.
“We have got to focus on every game and perform as well as we can. There’s a few teams that have responded recently – Wakefield and Bradford have done it and London, I would say, will see this as an opportunity.
“They will see there is a potential for us to be distracted and it is absolutely crucial we don’t allow that to happen.”
Some of Castleford’s fringe players who will get their chance tomorrow have an added incentive to adhere to that instruction knowing that Powell has not yet finalised his 17 for the semi-final at Leigh.
His preparations have been rocked by the loss of two integral forwards – previous ever-present Australian Grant Millington, who is out for up to six weeks after injuring his knee in last Friday’s 18-18 draw at Hull FC, and dynamic second-row Weller Hauraki, who was hit with a two-game ban following an incident in the same game.
“There’s still a couple of spots up for selection,” said Powell. “There’s a few players who are quite close and I will make those decisions after the weekend.
“I haven’t fully got it in my mind. Obviously I know the large majority of it, but there are still one or two decisions to be made.”
He rests key men Andy Lynch and Daryl Clark but the influential trio of Craig Huby, Justin Carney and Jake Webster, who were all afforded time off at Hull, are back in the 19-man squad along with young back-row Brad Day.
Prop Lee Jewitt and half-back Jamie Ellis are set for recalls.

Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs has been rejecting the excesses of the right wing movement for several months. Today he issued a list with the following reasons why he has parted ways with the right:
1. Support for fascists, both in America (see: Pat Buchanan, Robert Stacy McCain, etc.) and in Europe (see: Vlaams Belang, BNP, SIOE, Pat Buchanan, etc.)
2. Support for bigotry, hatred, and white supremacism (see: Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Robert Stacy McCain, Lew Rockwell, etc.)
3. Support for throwing women back into the Dark Ages, and general religious fanaticism (see: Operation Rescue, anti-abortion groups, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins, the entire religious right, etc.)
4. Support for anti-science bad craziness (see: creationism, climate change denialism, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, etc.)
5. Support for homophobic bigotry (see: Sarah Palin, Dobson, the entire religious right, etc.)
6. Support for anti-government lunacy (see: tea parties, militias, Fox News, Glenn Beck, etc.)
7. Support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.)
8. A right-wing blogosphere that is almost universally dominated by raging hate speech (see: Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.)
9. Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.)
10. Hatred for President Obama that goes far beyond simply criticizing his policies, into racism, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories (see: witch doctor pictures, tea parties, Birthers, Michelle Malkin, Fox News, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and every other right wing source)
The reasons are similar to those I have frequently written about here. There is some hyperbole here. For example, while I have had a few posts disagreeing with Robert Stacy McCain I have never thought of him as a fascist. McCain responds to Johnson here). Even in the case of Pat Buchanan, while he has certainly shown sympathy for the Nazis, I’m not certain that he outright supports fascism.
One irony here is that much of what he writes here could have applied to his own blog in the past, but he still deserves credit for rejecting that mind set.
To be fair, some of what he says could apply to some on the extreme left. I’ve noted some of the anti-scientific views of people such as Bill Maher on medicine and vaccines, but this is far less prevalent than the belief in creationism and denialism of climate change on the right. I’ve also criticized some on the left for conspiracy theories of their own, but again this is far less prevalent than on the right.
The significant difference between the right and the left with regards to extremism is the degree to which the extremists dominate on the right. The extremists on the right have driven out virtually everyone else. They dominate the major organs of the right from the right wing media to the Republican Party. The left has a handful who, in their own ways, are as nutty as the extremists of the right but they are marginalized rather than the dominant players.

The Amador Valley High boys soccer team entered Thursday night tied for third place in the East Bay Athletic League, six points behind leader Monte Vista.
Though the Dons had no control over what the front-running Mustangs did, they edged closer to second-place De La Salle with a 2-1 home win over the Spartans.
It was Amador Valley’s second win this season over the five-time defending North Coast Section champions. Before this season, the Dons had only one win against the Spartans in school history.
“This was huge,” Dons coach Scott Berglin said. “This pushes us towards one of our season’s goals, which is a shot at winning the EBAL title and on to NCS.”
The win was big in the context of the NCS Division I playoff picture, as league finish and head-to-head results are heavily considered by the committee for postseason seeding.
The Dons scored early as Tyler Pangia easily footed a Pierre Marie cross into the box in the ninth minute.
Amador Valley (14-3-2, 6-3-1 EBAL) was on the front foot for much of the first half, but De La Salle (9-6-3, 7-3) turned the tide to start the second half.
The Dons, though, withstood that storm and countered with a Danny O’Lenic goal in the 55th minute to give them some insurance.
The Spartans continued to dominate possession after the score and got a 74th-minute goal from Val Huerta. But they couldn’t get the equalizer.
San Ramon Valley 2, California 1: Melissa Lewis scored twice to keep the Wolves’ unbeaten streak alive. Both of the senior’s goals came in the second half. She scored in the 52nd and 69th minutes. Morgan McGarry provided both assists for San Ramon Valley (13-0-5, 7-0-3 EBAL).
Clayton Valley Charter 4, Ygnacio Valley 3: Kimi Dennis netted the game-winning goal in the 78th minute to keep the Eagles (9-8, 7-2) in second place in the Diablo Valley Athletic League. Clayton Valley Charter never trailed but looked like it might have to settle for a tie with the Warriors until Dennis’ late goal.
Heritage 2, Liberty 2: Nicole Ulricksen scored in the 78th minute to help the Lions (9-2-4, 5-1), who are in first place in the Bay Valley Athletic League, salvage a tie against the Patriots (9-7-2, 3-1-2).

Next week’s new episode of “Gotham” looks to be big one for a wide array of different reasons, with one of the biggest ones being that it could be the principal occasion in which everything comes to a head for Jim Gordon. As many out there now know, Lee Thompkins is going to be getting married to Mario … or at least it seems that way right now. Jim is one of the people who could have the capacity to stop it, or at least it currently seems to be the case on paper. The relationship history is there between him and Lee, and he made it clear via the Mad Hatter that there are still some rather-deep feelings that are still there for his ex.
So what’s going to be coming up in next week’s “Mad City: Beware the Green-Eyed Monster”? Let’s just say that there is a confrontation that could set the stage for some rather-epic fireworks that are going to be coming up in the near future.
Synopsis – “As the virus begins to spread in Gotham, the laboratory that is developing a cure is compromised. Mario and Gordon face off before the wedding, Selina meets an unexpected face and Barbara comes to Nygma with information about Isabella.”
It’s fairly easy to imagine that Oswald could find himself in some extremely hot water by the end of the season, largely because of the fact that Nygma’s actions are probably going to catch back up to him at some point. Barbara also has a further reason to bury the Penguin, given that his frame job is damaging someone she really cares about in Tabitha. From a viewer perspective, this could be a lot of fun to watch unfold — but we’re not sure we’d say that the fates of all of these characters are safe and sound in the long run.
Promo – It does look like we’re at least getting to the wedding itself; also, all signs point to Bruce and Selina Kyle working together in order to properly infiltrate the Court of Owls.
If you do find yourself interested in gathering up some further news in regards to “Gotham,” just be sure to head over to the link here right now! (Photo: Fox.)


Accessible tram stop protest halts traffic on Sydney Road
More than 100 people attend rally and call for action within two years
CAMPAIGNERS for accessible tram stops in Sydney Road are vowing to hold more protests like the one that brought traffic to a standstill for an hour on Saturday if their demands are not met.
More than 100 protesters attended a rally on Saturday, holding up half a dozen trams in both directions at the Dawson Street intersection and forcing cars to find alternative routes while they marched up Sydney Road.
Police closed a 400 metres section of the road to allow the rally to go ahead.
Protesters included wheelchair users and parents with children in prams and strollers who are all calling for the state government to install accessible tram stops in Sydney Road before construction works begin on the Brunswick level crossing removal project.
The level crossing works are expected to begin within two years and will force the closure of the Upfield railway line for at least 18 months, leaving people with mobility issues with few options for accessible public transport for that period.
Currently, there are only two accessible tram stops in a 5.5 km stretch of Sydney Road from Brunswick Road to the end of the tram line in North Coburg.

Merri-bek Councillor Sue Bolton, one of the co-organisers of the campaign, said accessible tram stops were now a matter of urgency.
In its recent skyrail policy paper, Reshaping Brunswick, the council highlighted concerns about the temporary loss of the Upfield line during the construction works. The council is pushing for a full revitalisation of Sydney Road as part of the level crossing removal project.
“There have been people over many years [who have] advocated to state government for accessible tram stops,” Cr Bolton said.
“The time for politely asking is over, because they haven’t responded to polite requests and polite advocacy. So we need to step it up.
“And there is a crunch point because … in two years time, the government will shut the Upfield train line for 18 months to two years in order to remove eight level crossings in Brunswick.
“So we’ve got a deadline. Two years is sufficient time to do accessible tram stops.
“And if they need to delay the level crossing project, in order to do the tram stops, we’re okay with that.
“Accessible tram stops are more important. And if there are no accessible tram stops by the time that shut the line, we will be taking direct action.”
Wheelchair user Christian Astourian, a Brunswick resident and disability rights advocate, is preparing to take legal action, most likely through Victoria’s Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, over the failure to install accessible tram stops.
“Accessible transport is not only a matter of convenience but also a matter of dignity, basic human rights and inclusion,” Mr Astourian told the rally.
“For people with a disability, elderly people, parents with prams and anyone who has mobility challenges, for too long these members of our community have been excluded from the public transport system, forcing them to rely on expensive or unreliable alternatives or simply have been left behind.”
Ally Scott, a campaigner from the Disability Resources Centre said under the commonwealth Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport, all state governments were required to public transport infrastructure fully accessible by the end of last year.
But only 15% of Victoria’s public transport had achieved that target by the deadline, she said.
“Make no mistake, our government is aware of their obligation,” she said.
“They understand the significance of inaccessible public transport. They understand that it’s a thing. And they understand that it will cost a certain sum of money, which is insignificant.”
After marching from Wilson Avenue, the rally congregated outside the Brunswick Town Hall at the intersection of Dawson Street and Sydney Road, where several wheelchair users, including Bram Heinrich-McPartlan, the chair of the Merribek-Council Disability Reference Group, attempted unsuccessfully to board a tram.
They said improving public transport accessibility effectively future proofed public transport for everyone, including people who were fully mobile today but may have issues as they get older.
“We need to show that the community cares because it’s not just for the people using disability specific aids now, it’s everyone … More accessibility just means more usability for everyone,” they said.
Brunswick MP Tim Read is sponsoring a petition to the Legislative Assembly on behalf of Mr Astourian which is calling for the installation of accessible tram stops in Sydney Road before the Upfield line is closed for the skyrail project.
“Public transport isn’t public until all the public can use it,” he said.
Dr Read said it would cost about $75 million to install accessible tram stops on Royal Parade and Sydney Road between Parkville and North Coburg, or about 1/20th of the estimated $1.5 billion that the Brunswick level crossing removal project will cost.

Vote 'Yes' on Petoskey millage issue
Petoskey school district voters will be asked to approve four separate millage issues Tuesday, May 8. Three of these tax requests are renewals. A fourth request, to support technology purchases, would involve a new tax levy, but voters previously supported school tech updates as part of a facilities bond issue in the late 1990s.
All four of these millage requests deserve voter support and are vital to the success of Petoskey students and their school district.
Four millage requests might seem a lot to ask of voters in these hard times. But the time has come for voters to decide on the issues, and the problem of aged-out technology has come to a head.
The time to act is now.
On the ballot in Petoskey are:
-- Continuing to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all nonhomestead property, for three years. This includes businesses and second-home properties and has been assessed against those types of properties since public education funding reform was adopted statewide in 1994. Without voter approval, Petoskey schools would not be eligible for state financial aid. Without that, Petoskey schools would run out of money by late October. This is a must-approve.
-- Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District renewal of 1.16 mills, for four years, to fund special education services. This tax provides approximately $700,000 a year in direct services to Petoskey schools which otherwise would cost the school's general fund for state and federally mandated special education programs and staffing. These are not optional programs and service children with the greatest needs in our communities. Again, this is a must-approve question.
-- "Sinking fund" millage renewal of 1.319 mills, for seven years, to pay for such things as roofs, driveways and boilers. These are repairs and maintenance items that every property owner must pay for eventually in their own private homes and business -- a school is no different. And with new equipment comes tax dollars savings through energy efficiency improvements. Voters have approved this extra tax at least twice before. Without the extra support, money to pay for mundane but necessary repairs would come right out of children's education.
-- A so-called "technology bond" which is a new funding request. The district is asking for 0.40 mill support, over eight years, to raise millions of dollars required to bring computer technology into the 21st century. The district has formulated a comprehensive revitalization plan that includes not just new computers and computer labs but network and fiber optics, districtwide telephone systems, safety surveillance and other tech-related components which impact every part of the district.
If you've ever worked with a computer, you know how quickly hardware and software become out of date.
Petoskey has squeezed every electron out of its last sweeping technology upgrade some 12 years ago. While Petoskey has done a remarkable job keeping what is has now alive, it is time for another major move. Yet, the proposed scope is limited and tightly focused, generated in part via a committee which included local parents and local tech experts. The plan for going forward will ensure as much current refreshing of that technology, year to year, as funding will allow.
This is in no way intended to put an iPad in every child's hands. But it will allow the district to replace 1,200 to 1,300 computer workstations in phases through the next four years or so.
Yes, times are hard. However these tax requests are carefully considered, prudent measures which will affect every child -— by keeping the doors open, funding special education services, ensuring a classroom stays warm or just allowing a student to access the world beyond Emmet County.
Don't take these needs for granted. Get out and vote yes on May 8.

Pumpkin Inspired Dishes Making National Buzz
By Larissa Scott, wmbb.com, October 3, 2016
Panama City, Fla.–Two local restaurants are getting some national buzz due to their delicious pumpkin-inspired dishes for the fall.
Destination Panama City found out that USA Today was looking for the best pumpkin foods in the country for their latest fall article. So, the organization pitched Lilie’s Sweet Temptations Bakery’s pumpkin patch pastry and g.Foley’s pumpkin baked grits.
Both made the cut—standing as part of the best pumpkin dishes in the country.
“Having two of Panama City’s dishes selected for the 100 that USA Today promoted, I mean one would’ve been great, but two is fabulous. Today is a really good day,” said Destination Panama City C.E.O. Jennifer Vigil.

Herman Cain told Jimmy Kimmel he is being persecuted just because this decent Christian man happens to enjoy making comments to those of the opposite gender. As far as accusations go, “we are meeting this head on.” I assume he is not referring to the head of his penis in making this statement. “There is not an ounce of truth to these accusations.” His wife also defended him and if one’s wife does not believe her husband has roving hands, how can the world believe such stories. According to Cain, his wife told him: “the things that women described -that doesn’t even sound like you.”
This statement can be interpreted several ways. Does it mean when Herman is with other women he engages in sex acts that are never done with wife? I don’t know, and suspect neither does his wife.
In the end, people paid money to accusers of sexual misconduct. I guess this means if you accuse Herman of sex acts he will pay to ensure you do not continue making such comments.
How do I get on to this train of money?
