In Thorne v. Shelby County Board of Education, Liberty Justice Center is representing a Memphis-area high school principal suing his school district after he was placed on administrative leave for speaking with his students about the importance of free speech.
The following article written by Brooke Conrad appeared on ABC4 News on February 26, 2021.
HUNT VALLEY, Md. (SBG) — High school principal Barton Thorne, who was suspended last month over comments he made about free speech in the wake of the Capitol riot, is returning to work for the first time in six weeks.
Thorne shared concerns about big tech companies’ ability to control information on their platforms during a Jan. 11 weekly homeroom video message to students and staff at Cordova High School in Tennessee. The comments came a few days after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, after which Facebook and Twitter suspended President Trump’s accounts, and Google, Apple and Amazon Web Services de-platformed the social media app Parler, which was popular among conservatives.
The day after his message, Shelby County Schools placed Thorne on administrative leave. Six weeks later, Thorne filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the district and Superintendent Joris Ray. Thorne’s suspension had resulted from a complaint from “one or several unknown SCS employees, parents, or students,” according to the lawsuit.
Within an hour of filing, Liberty Justice Center senior attorney Daniel Suhr said he received word of Thorne’s reinstatement at the school.
Suhr told Sinclair his firm had reached out to the school district several times before filing the suit, but the school never responded “in a substantive way.”
“Thankfully, they’re letting Principal Thorne back into the school and return to do what he loves, which is teach his students,” Suhr said.
Even though he has his job back, the case will continue, Suhr said.
“We’ve got a pretty simple ask: we want him to be not just restored to his job, but restored to his reputation. And hopefully, the school district will do that, and then we can bring this case to a close,” he said.
The Liberty Justice Center is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
During his over 9-minute-long video comments, Thorne expressed concerns about times in American history “where a small group of people decided what you can hear,” according to a transcript provided by the Liberty Justice Center. Thorne referenced McCarthyism, as well as a standoff between federal agents and a religious group called the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas during the 1990s. Thorne also referenced “totalitarian governments,” like “North Korea” and “China.”
“[I]n democracies, we talk about the marketplace of ideas. Well, what happens when the marketplace of ideas becomes a forced monopoly? What happens when you do not have dissenting opinions, when you do not have an exchange on competing ideas—how do you know if your ideas can stand on their own if there is no marketplace of ideas?” he said.
Thorne said he was not making those comments because he favored Parler or Trump or “anybody else who is being banned.”
The lawsuit alleges the school district directed Thorne not to talk to media “even though the SCS policies permit employees to talk to media in their individual capacity.”
One media report quotes a board member, Sheleah Harris, saying the events at the school were “extremely unfortunate and do not reflect the true value of” the school or the district.
“With the horrific events from last week at our U.S. Capitol, we have to ensure our children, teachers, and school staff remain in a consistent environment that promotes safety, cultural sensitivity, and represents the highest level of excellence,” Harris said in a statement, according to Commercial Appeal . “As leaders, we must be intentional about creating spaces for our students to discuss and process events that take place in our country and community.”
Suhr said the school needs to make up for damages against Thorne’s reputation.
“The school district here, I think, has an obligation to apologize to Mr. Thorne and really to explain to students that what he said was appropriate and right — that free speech is important in our society,” Suhr said.
During his video message, Thorne explicitly denounced the Capitol riots, saying they displayed “ignorance at the highest levels.”
“I don’t know too many people that are going to be okay with what happened,” he said, according to the transcript. “I don’t care what side you agree with, we don’t practice sedition, we don’t attack our legislature.”
Shelby County Schools is the largest public school district in Tennessee and is one of the 25 largest nationwide.
When asked for comment, Shelby County Schools said it “does not comment on pending litigation.”

Well made item
Being used in a conservatory as a stand for a drip-feed plant irrigation tank... the perfect height! Not something we'd buy as an item of furniture as it's too contemporary for our taste but nonetheless, it is a well made table and for those that like this style, I would recommend.

The scandals involving Hillary Clinton just keep coming…
According to reports:
“A major Clinton Foundation donor who gave at least $250,000 to the organization was granted a spot on a State Department intelligence board despite having no experience for the role.
Federal government emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the political group Citizens United reveal details on the selection of Rajiv K. Fernando to the nuclear strategy board. All members obtain top secret clearances.
ABC News first reported Mr. Fernando’s role on Friday. The network said it approached him at the 2012 Democrat Convention about his appointment and was told by security that reporters would be “arrested” for approaching him.
The new emails show Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, played a key role in appointing the Chicago securities trader.
“The true answer is that [Secretary Clinton] staff [Cheryl Mills] added him. … Rai [sic] was not on the list sent to [Secretary Clinton]; he was added at their insistence,” an email reads.”

So sweet! It’s been 27 years since Twins first hit theaters, but it seems that costars Arnold and Danny have definitely stayed tight– I mean, just look at that adorable photo!
At the Golden Camera awards, which took place in Hamburg, Germany, Arnold was being awarded the International Lifetime Achievement honor. So, who better to present the former California governor (never forget!) with the prize than Danny?
The two hugged as Danny introduced Arnold and then, when Arnold took the stage, Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Danny was reportedly beaming as he watched his dear old costar and friend accept the honors. In fact, the moment got so emotional between the two that Arnold even got “misty eyed,” according to Us Weekly.
Arnold dedicated the award to those who dream of breaking into movies, telling them all, “do not give up!”
A Lifetime Of Achievement
Arnold has certainly had a very unique career, spanning film, bodybuilding and–yup!– California politics.
Speaking very little English, Arnold moved to the United States at the age of 21 to become a competitive bodybuilder. He went on to win countless championships in the sport, and is still today considered one of the most important figures in the sport.
In the early ’70s, Arnold wanted to make the transition from bodybuilding to acting, and transition he did! Beginning with small roles in films like Stay Hungry, Arnold got his big break in the classic Conan the Barbarian. Then, in 1984, Arnold starred in what is arguably his defining role in The Terminator. As they say, the rest is history…baby.
Of course, Arnold’s other most famous role is very different from Terminator: Governor of the state of California. Arnold was elected to office in 2003, and won reelection four years later.
In other words, Arnold’s lifetime achievement award was very deserved!
Were you happy to see a Twins reunion?

Sapporo Clock Tower3.0
This 2-story wooden building is a symbol of the city and the early era of Hokkaido's development. It was constructed in 1878 as a drill hall of the Sapporo Agricultural College, the first institution for agricultural studies in Japan. Among the students was the agricultural economist, educator and author Nitobe Inazo, who wrote "Bushido: The Soul of Japan". The large clock tower with four faces was purchased from a Boston manufacturer. It is a 10-minute walk from JR Sapporo Station.

It's indeed full of history, and quite a lot of people were visiting. If I'm not mistaken, it used to be a school, where the students were the one who built Sapporo city. I met a woman at the second floor, who explained those things, guess she was a tour leader (?) One thing I'm a bit upset about is that the things on exhibition side were all in Japanese language, so kind of impossible to be understood by tourists like me 😂

Mining frequent patterns from transaction database, time series and data stream is an important task now. Last decade, there are mainly two kinds of algorithms on frequent pattern mining. One is Apriori based on generating and testing, the other is FP-growth based on dividing and conquering, which has been widely used in static data mining. But with the new requirements of data mining, mining frequent pattern is not restricted in the static datasets any more. For data stream, the frequent pattern mining algorithms must have strong ability of updating and adjusting to further improve its efficiency. This paper proposes a novel structure NC-Tree (New Compact Tree), which can recode and filter original data to compress dataset. At the same time, a new frequent pattern mining algorithm is introduced base on it, which can update and adjust the tree more efficiently. The experiments show the structure and algorithm obviously improves mining efficiency and ensures high accuracy.

In cooperation with the Federal Foreign Office, the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum brings together 250 experts from politics, government, think tanks and the media to discuss foreign policy challenges for Germany and Europe. With a hybrid event character with exclusive online participation, the 2020 event was a fitting response to the pandemic restrictions.
A broad international audience (more than 250 exclusive digital participants and over 70,000 live views in the stream) was able to follow the discussions of high-ranking international representatives online. Highlights were the opening panel between Foreign Ministers Heiko Maas (GER), Augusto Santos Silva (PRT) and Anže Logar (SVN) as well as the live conference with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón in Madrid.
Through interactive elements via the conference tool, a complex technical set-up as well as a sophisticated dramaturgy and directing, the digital version lived up to the Forum’s reputation as one of the most important annual international conferences on German and European foreign policy.

The sculptures obtained from different civilisations give us insights into their ways of life. Mesopotamia, the greatest of the ancient civilisations also have sculptures to offer. Many of the sculptures are of gods and goddesses, some of kings and scribes and others miscellaneous.
Hundreds of statues and fragments are discovered from the area. A large number of statues were discovered in temples at the sites of Tell Asmar, Khafaje, and Tell Agrab close to the Diyala River, a major tributary of the Tigris in eastern Mesopotamia.
The statues of various sizes are covered in gypsum or limestone. In general, men wear fringed or tufted fleece skirts and women, fringed or tufted dresses draped over one shoulder.
The statues are usually carved with the hands clasped, right over left, at the chest or waist in a gesture of attentiveness. Some figures hold cups or branches of vegetation. Male statues were taller whereas female statues were smaller in size.
One of the famous statues from early dynasty is of a female standing with clasped hands. The period estimated is from 2600 to 2500 BC. It was a combination of limestone, shell and lapis lazuli.
The Tell Asmar statues are stylized with large eyes and are in a pose of supplication. These figures have lots of energy in their bright eyes, face and curling horns.
The statue of the He-goat in flowering tree was made in 2800 BC. It was 18 inches long. Portraying a golden goat, this was found in the Sumerian grave at Ur. The head and legs of the goat were made of wood overlaid with gold. Its coat is of shell, his horns and eyes are of lapis lazuli.
The head from Nineveh is another wonderful sculpture. It represents Naram-Sin. A bronze statue of a king, wearing a wig-helmet of the old Sumerian rulers is believed to be Sargon.
Scribes were those few persons in Mesopotamia who knew to write and read. When cuneiform script came to be largely used, scribes were in demand. As they were very important, sculptures were made as a tribute to them.
A stone sculpture of Ebi-H II, found at a temple of Ishtar is believed to be a minister of finance. The statute with clasped hands and wide eyes is made of a stone called alabaster.
The ziggurats were large temple towers of Mesopotamia. It was a huge structure built in the centre of the town. It was a terraced step pyramid with a flat top. Ziggurats were mostly built of sun-baked bricks. The facings of the ziggurats glazed in different colours. They were built in receding tiers upon square, rectangular or oval platform.


The Kalì-Kart brand represents the history of karting and it brings back to each karting fan’s memory Michael Schumacher’s or Alex Zanardi’s successes in the 90s. But Kalì Kart has also a great history of sporting and commercial successes especially today, in the most important markets as Germany and Northern Europe.
For 2018 the CRG factory, that manages the productive and commercial parts, is thinking about expanding the Kalì-Kart agonistic programme at international level. The most important news introduced with the new homologation cycle (2018-2020) regard the presentation of a new chassis for the direct drive classes: the KK 03 model, with 30mm tubes and characterized by very particular frame geometries. The KK 02 model with 30mm tubes, instead, basically remained unchanged.
Regarding KZ, the reliable KK04 model has been updated with some technical interventions to make it use more effectively the tyres employed in the main KZ classes (interventions on the centre of mass). An important work has also involved braking systems with the adoption of new discs and pads, and also the bodywork has been updated, reducing the supports’ weight and improving the front fairing layout. The whole range is fitted with new steering wheels, that have lifted spokes that allow a higher grip, making it more comfortable for the driver. The most significant novelties follow.
KZ CHASSIS. The centre of gravity of the competitive KK 04 model has been modified in function of the tyres used in the main KZ categories, which improved cornering, braking and traction. Performance has also been optimized by a slight change in the rear track. The KK 04 model feature magnesium R-line hubs and spindles, magnesium wheels and new VEN 11 KZ braking systems, developed by the CRG’s research and development centre.
DIRECT DRIVE CHASSIS. The model KK 02 with 30mm tubes is the reference point for direct drive chassis classes. No real big change has been made to the frame. Model KK 03 is a novelty instead, characterized by a particular chassis layout featuring the central crossbeam fused with the front end. All models fit magnesium R-line hubs and spindles, magnesium wheels and new VEN 11 DD braking systems.
KZ BRAKING SYSTEMS. Starting from 2018, KZ braking systems produced by CRG (and adopted on the Kalì Kart range) will be identified by the code VEN 11 KZ. Break calipers have not undergone big modifications, compared to the previous homologation, but discs, front and rear pads have been updated significantly. The external diameter of the cast iron, self-venting disc that was previously daisy-shaped has now become linear, and the section of the cooling holes has been changed too. The diameter of the rear disc has been raised from the previous 189mm to 192mm, while the diameter of front discs has gone up to 154mm from the previous 150mm. The new brake pads will be orange instead of red. These interventions produced a more effective braking, a more homogeneous wear of pads which turn in a better feeling with the brake pedal for the driver.
DIRECT DRIVE BRAKING SYSTEMS (OK). Braking systems for direct drive categories will be identified by the code VEN 11 DD. These are identical to the KZ rear braking system, with all the novelties in terms of disc shape and orange pads. The most important update for the direct drive categories is the optional choice of a smaller disc. This new element is still cast iron and self-venting, but has a 181mm diameter instead of the standard 192mm and is thinner. The benefit of this solution is a reduction of the spinning mass, especially in Junior classes that have lower power, with a better modulation of the braking force. A specific adaptation kit has been devised to fit this disc, which includes hubs and specific supports for the brake caliper and slightly bigger pads.
FAIRINGS. The biggest change regarding the newly homologated fairings for the next triennium is at the front end, that has been updated with a new layout in the central part and made wider. This is to improve the drag coefficient and to provide more safety. The front steel bumper has also been updated in its top and lateral parts and has been made a lot lighter. The front number holder has also been slightly changed, while the supports of the side pods have been modified to achieve a big weight reduction.

Have Prince Harry's naked high-jinks in Sin City cost him his latest girlfriend?
- Model Cressida Bonas, 23, has been dating the prince over the summer
- She has hinted she wants 'time out' after seeing the pictures on the internet
- Enjoyed holiday with Harry on Richard Branson's island before Vegas jaunt
- 'He's ruined his chances now...Harry's blown it,' says friend of heiress
- Woman at party ready to 'tell all' on TV about the Prince's behaviour
Prince Harry’s naked high-jinks in Las Vegas may have cost him his latest girlfriend.
Model Cressida Bonas, 23, a Leeds University graduate who has been dating the Prince over the summer, is said to have been ‘humiliated’ by the pictures of Harry enjoying the company of a young blonde in a hotel room.
Although sources say the couple have not split up, Ms Bonas, who has seen the pictures of the naked Prince on the internet, has hinted that she wants some time out.
In the pink: Cressida, right, with a friend on Sir Richard Branson's Island before Harry's Vegas jaunt
'He's ruined his chances now.' a friend of the heiress is quoted today.' Harry has blown it. Cressida saw a future with him, but he clearly isn't as serious about her as he claimed to be.'
Her torment was revealed as it emerged that one of the women who partied with the Prince on the 63rd floor of the Wynne Las Vegas and Encore Resort Hotel is set to 'tell all' on American TV in 'the next few days.'
Ms Bonas, the daughter of Sixties cover girl and banking heiress Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon, enjoyed a holiday with Harry on Necker, the island owned by Sir Richard Branson, shortly before his jaunt to ‘Sin City’.
Together with a group of friends, they were on Necker to celebrate the 27th birthday of Sir Richard’s son, Sam.

Ms Bonas is said to be ‘less than impressed’ by the pictures that have emerged from the boys-only break in Las Vegas.
of Harry naked and bear-hugging a nude blonde in his private suite have gone viral on the internet since they were
published on the American website TMZ.
During the Necker holiday, the Prince and Ms Bonas were acting very much as a couple, according to friends.
One told the Sunday Mirror: 'They had been for a few dates including one just before Necker. Things went further there between them and they had a great time fooling around.
'Everyone in their group thought they were getting it on. Cressida definitely saw the romance asa goer and is gutted by what happened.'

A friend of Ms Bonas told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The relationship was pretty low key to begin with, but some of Cressida’s friends say it won’t get off the ground now,’
‘Cressida is pretty peeved.’
She and Harry were introduced by Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie.
Last month they attended a screening of the new Batman movie where they were reportedly spotted in a clinch and they were recently seen at the Womad music festival in Wiltshire.
Yesterday, the U.S. media firm Bad Girlz PR claimed that a woman at the Prince's party was prepared to reveal what happened that night and to take a lie detector test to back her version of events.
The woman, from California, has hired a PR who acts as a go-between for people who have intimate stories about celebrities and want to go on the record.
A spokesman told the Sunday Mirror: 'What she says is quite incredible and paints a different side to the prince and his behaviour.'
But the spokesman added that the woman is 'nervous' about coming forward because she fears a royal backlash.
A spokesman for Prince Harry declined to comment last night.

It’s been a bad week for our state as a result of the coronavirus.
The number of people hospitalized for the coronavirus in Missouri reached another record Thursday, and the seven-day average positivity rate was more than triple the benchmark suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO), according to the Associated Press.
Missouri ranks fourth nationally in reported deaths over the past seven days, and eighth in the number of new cases. The state’s seven-day positivity rate was 17.9 percent. The national seven-day positivity rate was at 5.1 percent, according to Johns Hopkins University data. The WHO has set 5 percent as the benchmark.
Dave Dillon, spokesman for the Missouri Hospital Association, sounded an alarm bell.
“Whether we’re in a second wave, or the second crest of the first, our current situation is critical, especially outside of the well-resourced metro areas.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, even suggested that we may need to rethink having Thanksgiving gatherings because of the surging cases in many parts of the country.
But perhaps the worst news of the week came Wednesday when the state reported that 56 residents of Missouri veterans homes died of COVID-19 between Sept. 1 and Monday.
State officials were aware a number of veterans had died in Missouri’s seven veterans homes in recent weeks due to the coronavirus, but the exact number wasn’t revealed until Wednesday.
Earlier this month, Gov. Mike Parson called for an external review of operations at the veterans homes signaling concern. That came after Parson visited one of the facilities in September and praised the Missouri Veterans Commission for setting the standard nationwide for safety in veterans homes during the pandemic.
The veterans’ deaths are a grim reminder of a virus that doesn’t distinguish between those who bravely served and sacrificed for our country and those who have not. It’s heartbreaking but not unexpected.
The residents of the veterans homes were vulnerable to the coronavirus. Early in the COVID-19 outbreak, it was understood the virus was particularly lethal to older adults and those with underlying health conditions. And it could spread more easily through congregate facilities, where many people live in a confined environment and workers move from room to room. That describes the majority of veterans living in the state facilities.
So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by the high number of deaths in veterans homes. Roughly 40 percent of all coronavirus-related deaths in the U.S. have been linked to staff and residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This would include Missouri’s veterans homes.
Don’t be shocked if the external review Parson ordered shows more could have been done to protect these veterans — just like other nursing home residents. It’s becoming clearer every day we have failed this population.
Every day we have to do more in this state to reverse the trend of this virus.
As Dillon said, the situation is critical.

Reuters: The trial of a French teaching assistant accused of espionage in Iran resumed on Wednesday but there was no verdict and the court indicated she would be summoned again, France's Foreign Affairs Ministry said. PARIS (Reuters) – The trial of a French teaching assistant accused of espionage in Iran resumed on Wednesday but there was no verdict and the court indicated she would be summoned again, France's Foreign Affairs Ministry said.
The case of Clotilde Reiss, 24, has raised tensions between France and Iran, already at odds over Tehran's nuclear programme. French President Nicolas Sarkozy says Reiss is innocent and has described her as a pawn in a diplomatic game.
Ahead of Wednesday's hearing, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner had called on Tuesday for a speedy judgment, but the Tehran court did not set a date for Reiss's next court appearance or say when it would deliver its verdict.
Reiss was arrested in Tehran in July, during the turmoil that followed the disputed June 12 presidential election.
Paris has refused an Iranian proposal for a prisoner swap between her and an Iranian man who is serving a life sentence in a French jail for the 1991 assassination of a former Iranian prime minister.
Sarkozy and Kouchner have said it was out of the question to exchange an innocent woman for a convicted murderer and that in any case the French justice system was independent and it was not for the government to meddle in judicial affairs.
Reiss is out of jail on bail and staying at the French embassy.
Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency quoted her lawyer, Mohammad Ali Mahdavi-Sabet, as saying the court hearing lasted for three hours.
"In this session we have presented some part of her … defence. And I as her lawyer have answered various questions from the judge in order to defend her," he said.
"There is going to be another session for studying her case," the lawyer said, adding the French ambassador and a French diplomat had been outside the courtroom during the session. He did not give a date for the next session.
Reiss is accused of taking part in a Western plot to destabilise Iran after the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. She was arrested as she prepared to leave Iran after a five-month stint working at the University of Isfahan.

I am going to go to Chicago’s final scoring drive, which gave the Bears a 24-10 lead after a Jordan Howard touchdown. The Jets had just scored a touchdown to cut their deficit to 7 points. A defensive stop would give them the chance to tie the game. Instead Chicago stormed down the field in eight plays for an insurance touchdown.
I can’t go with Howard’s touchdown itself. The Bears were already in chip shot field goal range. A field goal there would have put the Jets behind 10 with just minutes to go.
So I will go with the 10 yard pass on second and 6 from the New York 40, which gave the Bears a first down and put them into field goal range. A stop on that play and the one that followed would have been the last chance the Jets had to force a punt on that series. Thye failed to get that stop.
It might not have been a memorable play, but it has my vote for the game’s most important play.
What do you think?

Islamabad, Oct 1 (EFE).- The death toll in the recent suicide bombings at two mosques in Pakistan rose to 60 on Sunday, officials told EFE, meanwhile government officials have publicly accused Indian agencies of carrying out terrorist activities in the country.
“The death toll has reached 60 and more than 50 are injured,” police chief Javed Lehri of Mastung district, in the southern province of Balochistan – where the deadliest attacks took place with over 50 deaths-, told EFE.
The data provided by Lehri also includes the deaths in the second attack that day on a mosque in the city of Hangu, in the troubled province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The mosques in Pakistan were especially crowded when the attacks occurred on Friday, with people celebrating the Muslim holiday of Eid Miladun Nabi, the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad.
The first attack occurred near a mosque located within a police perimeter in Mastung, when a suicide bomber blew himself up among a group of people preparing for a procession.
Among the dead were several police officers, including a high-ranking officer who authorities say tried to stop the suicide bomber.
The second attack, just a few hours apart, took place in another mosque in Hangu city and was committed by at least two suicide bombers during Friday’s sermon, when it was crowded.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks so far.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the main group of the Pakistani Taliban, distanced itself from the attacks and said it does not target places of worship or civilians.
Such attacks on places of worship are often linked to the jihadist group Islamic State of Khorasan (ISKP), a local branch of extremists. This group often claims its attacks within a few hours or a few days after the attacks.
“Whatever the group is behind this attack, they are all the same. Every group is being handled by the same place. RAW is behind all of them. This incident is being investigated. All the incidents which have happened before, have been unearthed and RAW was behind all of them,” caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti told reporters on Saturday, referring to India’s intelligence agency.
“The government would conduct an operation as big as needed to restore the writ of the state in the province. It was decided we will strike the terrorists and would not even spare their facilitators and supporters,” he added. EFE


Creating Access Pathways for Parents: A Transformational Approach to Supporting Attainment Among An Underserved Audience
Since its inception, more than 30,000 low-income parents have participated in CPI at 25 community colleges and university technical centers across the state.
Who is Eligible?
To be eligible for the program, CPI participants must be custodial parents, eligible for public assistance through TANF, or be at 250 percent or below the federal poverty level. In addition to education and training for in-demand careers, participants receive personalized case management, tutoring, mentoring, and financial support including help with tuition and books and, when appropriate, childcare vouchers or gas cards. Funds for the program are allocated at an average of $1,500 per student.
Understanding the Impact
Given increased national attention on this unique student support program, and the availability of a comprehensive database tracking outcomes of 30,000 participants spanning 10 years, the Arkansas Community Colleges, a nonprofit membership association representing the state’s publicly funded community colleges, led a rigorous third-party evaluation of the program’s outcomes. The study was named College Count$ and was funded by the Winthrop Rockefeller, Annie E. Casey, and Ford Foundations. The goal of College Count$ was to measure the student success, social impact, and economic benefits to low-income Arkansans resulting from the investment of federal TANF dollars.
The external evaluators report that, despite their significant financial and educational challenges, more than 52 percent of students who enrolled in CPI between 2005 and 2013 graduated with a higher education degree or certificate. That is more than double the completion rate for Arkansas community college students who did not participate in CPI.
To put this in a national context, 62 percent of Arkansas CPI students who enrolled in 2008 completed a degree or certificate by 2013 while across the rest of the nation only 39 percent of students who enrolled that year completed a credential.
Digging further into the data, 45 percent of African American CPI students earned a degree or certificate, three times the rate of their peers at the same colleges who didn’t participate in CPI. Hispanic CPI participants are graduating at four times the rate of their non-participating peers at the same colleges. CPI participants are not only graduating, but they are getting jobs and earning more money than their TANF peers. CPI graduates are earning thousands more than their matched counterparts from the same region and field of employment, reducing the need for continued public assistance.
Not only does CPI financially benefit the participants, it is also paying a big return on investment to the state of Arkansas. For every $1 federal dollar Arkansas invests in CPI, it gets a return of $1.79 to the state from reductions in public assistance and increased tax revenues from earnings gains.
Case Managers Helping Create Value
Clearly, the CPI model has an extraordinary impact on participants, but College Count$ researchers also wanted to determine the secret of the program’s success. In other words, the data prove that CPI is successful, but what specifically about the program is most effective in helping students succeed? This was an important question to address in order to best assist other states in replicating the program.
The researchers found the critical success factor was the holistic case management provided by CPI staff which encourages student persistence, regardless of challenges. Case managers are transformative agents encouraging, mentoring, counseling and assessing needs—the critical support that these at-risk students need to persist in their journey toward a better life. Other important components were financial aid, including gas vouchers, assistance with books, and child-care assistance.
This unique Arkansas program has gained attention over the years and is now a nationally recognized model for combining workforce training with holistic case management student support.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — The Cranbrook Institute of Science is preparing to bring a piece of Detroit history back to life — and the institute needs your help.
From Feb. 18-22, members of the public are invited to join in conserving a more than 200-year-old cannon discovered in the Detroit River two years ago by the Detroit Police Dive Team. The cannon bears the monogram of King George III of Great Britain, and according to CIS exhibits technician Karl Mayry, was likely dumped into the river when the British retreated from America in 1796.
Mayry said that since the cannon was pulled from the water in 2011, it’s been stored at the Detroit Historical Museum. That is, until five months ago, when the institute came into possession of it and began efforts to conserve the artifact. Since then, the iron weapon has been sitting in a massive acrylic tank of sodium carbonate with an electrical current pulsing through it, slowly pulling negatively charged chlorine ions out of the cannon and gently loosening accumulated rust.
“So far, so good,” said Mayry of the treatment known as electrolysis. “That’s phase one. The next phase is we’re going lift the cannon out of the water and give the general public a chance to help clean this thing.”
Since 200 years’ worth of dirt and rust takes a little bit of elbow grease to clean up, the institute is asking visitors to help with the restoration process. During the school’s winter break, guests of the museum will be armed with small brushes to gently scrub away debris left on the cannon.
“We’re going to have a lot of little toothbrushes from the dollar store, and we’ll be using bottles to spray the cannon and keep it moist,” said Mayry. “We’re going to be taking this 1,320-pound cannon out of the bath that it’s been soaking in and we’re asking the public to help us clean it manually.”
He added that, once the rust is removed and more of the cannon is revealed, it will then be coated in a solution of tannic acid to prevent further corrosion, and lastly, a layer of microcrystalline wax will seal and protect the artifact.
The Save the Cannon activities will take place 1-4 p.m. daily Feb. 18-22 and April 1-5 to coincide with school breaks. While the cannon’s not being cleaned, visitors can watch it undergo electrolysis in the tank, which is displayed for the public. Mayry hopes the cannon will be ready for its final acid treatment in May. The restoration effort, along with the institute’s “Extreme Deep” and “Dive Deep” exhibitions, are free with museum admission.
“We try to make the experience at Cranbrook as hands-on as possible. The cannon restoration is a great opportunity for our visitors to participate in the actual science of preservation and help save an important local relic,” said Michael Narlock, head of exhibits for CIS, in an email.
For information on the Save the Cannon effort and other museum attractions, visit science.cranbrook.edu or call (248) 645-3200. The Cranbrook Institute of Science is located at 39221 Woodward Ave. in Bloomfield Hills.

Broadway’s $40 Million Home Highlighted by SFist
April 5, 2017
Whoa: Check Out The $40 Million Spec House That Just Hit The Market On Billionaire’s Row
Upping the ante in San Francisco’s luxury home market and potentially garnering the highest price ever paid for a home in the city, we bring you 2712 Broadway on Pacific Heights’ Billionaire’s Row — a gorgeously appointed, architecturally significant, seven-bedroom spec home from developer Bill Campbell of Marble Management. He purchased the property on which its built back in 2009 — what amounted to a $7.8 million teardown — and as the Wall Street Journal notes it’s right down the block from Oracle scion Larry Ellison’s manse, and Ann and Gordon Getty’s mansion as well.
As Socketsite recalls, while Campbell was maneuvering to redevelop the property and seek approvals and such, he rented the former home on the site, a much more modest clapboard bungalow by comparison, to a group of eight twenty-somethings, immediately incurring the ire of neighbors.
The resulting home, by SF-based architect Taylor Lombardo, is a stunner by any standard with phenomenal 180-degree views the likes of which only Gettys and Ellisons typically enjoy, but the interior design by Handel Architects is especially gorgeous. The bathrooms alone — my god. As Curbed puts it, “What does $40 million buy you in the city’s most expensive hood? Two wine rooms with blackened steel doors, outdoor kitchen on the top-floor terrace, elevator, home theater, and gym.”
Pacific Union’s Val Steele and Tom Biss of Sotheby’s International Real Estate are the listing agents for the property, and as Biss tells SFist, “It’s a spectacular property and a great addition to the unique and architecturally significant Gold Coast homes.”
Steele tells the Business Times, “This house has a beautiful, flexible design to make it ideal for a family with several children or it can serve as a perfect urban oasis for a Silicon Valley or tech industry leader in need of a San Francisco base.” Steele adds, broadening his potential client base, “Empty nesters would find this to be a memorable place to host multi-generational family holidays far into the future.”
The previous record-holder in price, which happens to be on the same block, was a much more traditional home at 2701 Broadway, which sold in 2015 for $31 million (after hitting the market months earlier for $39 million).
But, shadily, Socketsite does note that the next-door neighbor has plans for some kind of rear addition on their property, “the development of which could impact 2712’s views to the west.” Those are still making their way through Planning approvals.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Raiders have restructured the deals of Cory Littleton and Nick Kwiatkoski to clear an additional $7.1 million in salary cap room.
As of Thursday, the Raiders were reported to be just under $34 million below the cap, presuming the release of Gabe Jackson. The additional $7.1 million will raise the team’s available spending to just under $41 million, but there could be more moves coming.
Marcus Mariota currently counts $10.7 million against the 2021 salary cap and his contract will almost certainly be off the books before training camp. Once Mariota is released or traded, the Raiders will have more than $51 million in cap room and a restructure (or extension) of Derek Carr’s contract could easily give the Raiders $60 million to work with in free agency.
So what’s coming next?
The Raiders will presumably want to re-sign Nelson Agholor and Richie Incognito, but there will be plenty of money left for a few aggressive moves in free agency. A defense playmaker or two in free agency seems like a foregone conclusion… and possibly a trade if they reach a deal for one of the defensive players they have been calling around about.
Get ready. The next couple weeks in the NFL are going to be a wild ride.

I really Thank you very much George you have been a faithful follower and I am glad for just that even being able to touch ones creative imagination makes me very happy even if its just one. and George check out my other build threads the 1960's tv Batmobile 1/6th scale man this was one crazy build had a bunch of love on that build some times it could be the topic but check them out you will like the art Thank you
Well okay, been a busy day arm on arm off arm on arm off , but finely got her arms on and also did some paint test, I like the dark color is a gun metal and the other part is painted silver. I have lots of painting to do, as well as a ton of detail but not to much. I can already see a bunch of stuff I am going to change on Chloe, or to say Chloe will be a totally diff. robot. Thanks for all the likes and having a peek, Amie is close I can see her! Thanks and Enjoy.
Well back at again in the morning, Amie is close....Thanks
This is so incredibly cool.Thanks for sharing your project and progress, Kermet.
Yes, I remember the Batman live action series from the '60s.My brother and I would watch it all on Saturday morning and it would never get old.I'll check out your other projects as well
Thanks for the likes George, Yep I've been around here for a while doing this and that, Yes I sold that Batmobile wish now that I hadn't but been looking for that same car for a bit now, may happen some day. I guess I had about almost a year in that build. This robot build has happened kind a quick. Speaking of I have been doing some painting today I do like the gun metal against the silver looks cool. Okay in one of the pics there I put a piece of tape this is what should I do Time? In this spot I'm thinking of a blast hit not to much but just enough should I or not? just let me know how you think a blast hit in this spot. Okay I have discovered Amie is like balancing blocks or playing Jenga, I like her hip pistons to be loose when her pistons are loose and her pelvic forward she is balanced but you can knock over blocks, she tends to be a bit tippy but find that balance spot and she will just chill in her pose. So here you go Amie is close so close! Thanks to all for the likes and George today sitting there looking at her, I thought Alita Battle Angel. Amie is coming close! Thanks and Enjoy
Okay guys this last pic has the tape spot, should I do a blast spot here yes or no? How do you think this would look George? Got some sanding to do on her torso then I will spray it after that if I do a blast mark there will be no turning back because I will have to detail cut in the mark then airbrush in the blast. Back to the shop in the morning still a bunch of painting, yep I scraped off the dark gray on her legs this will go the gun metal color Amie is close! Thanks
Well Okay, I put a full day in today doing a bunch of painting, and some detail painting on her hands. I caught my self talking to her today, cool if she would answer. so here you go, Amie is very close now! Thanks and Enjoy
Well as you can see a bunch of painting, several coats. I kind a pushed it today eyes started to blur a lot so I would take a break then back at it, can't help it so addicting. Back to the shop in the morning Amie is chilling. Thanks
Hi Kermet, sorry for the delay; I had connection issues yesterday.
Personally I would leave her as she is, unless you think it adds something vital to the concept.
Oh, and perhaps consider talking to the wife instead or it might feel weird to her
Yep George had those issues as well, and the wife is mostly at work she never comes to the shop, she calls it her jail for me. I even talk to my self So on her hand I cut these parts from a flat plastic for some nail detail and took them off, you can see these in the last post. I then painted the detail and it looks better. So as painting her finger nails, I noticed I put her middle finger on her left hand on backward so I fixed this. Man she is like stacking blocks but more control, its all about balancing her on her ball socket and yep they are tight and hold her well Amie is here close! Thanks and Enjoy
Well okay, and George your rite about the blast mark, your eyes are already busy looking her over that a blast mark might take away from what is already there. I think she looks cool clean ,Back to the shop in the morning, well I will be going a bit slower here the next 2 days got prep to drink for a crazy test then the test, but you can't keep me from the shop, as long as I can get to the Johnny quick. Amie is close here! Thanks
What a day, the shop turned out to be about 4 steps to far but I made it. Yes George I love those old Batman tv shows they was cool in the day, also a old Saturday morning show called Lance Link secret chimp, The show was all chimp actors. Well still got a bunch of painting do finish up, as well as her battery compartment, and a bunch of detail work. No to the blast mark. Thanks for the likes and comments Amie is close Here! Thanks
Well test went okay, I went out to the shop and looked over where Amie is and couldn't see her till I got lights on, and there she was all the way leaned completely forward, yep a small amount of repairs was needed, but as I was getting her back in the chair right I just noticed how much of a fight it is to get her in balance. So as repair was done I fixed the balance problem, and some times things happen to show a better way. Now her spine pelvic ball is now locked. and she still a bit of a game but so much better and this will solve the problem of finding her laying in the floor. She is now very balanced, very happy with the out come. I guess how I had her leg propped up on the paint can put her out of balance, or she just got up to stand up on her own. spooky. Okay, not much done other than the repair which I got lucky, could have had a mess. Back to the shop in the morning with some coffee which I missed this morning, Amie is so close Here! Thanks
Okay here we go again, I was putting Amie's head back on and Oh me in the fall when her head hit the floor it gave her some pretty bad brain damage, inside damage, so this took a bit and some heavy eye strain well all repair made so here is some pics of all this happening and other pics of the other repairs. Amie needs to behave she is close here! Thanks and Enjoy
Well okay, I still got some painting to do, as well some detail, and her mini gun. just about there, Amie is chilling close here....Thanks
Okay, sorry I put my eyes to their limits today, brain surgery isn't easy Oh me eye surgery is not as well and hate to say November gets close and eye appointment this month, all other test are over Thank God. I am hoping that this stops all the drops. Just to know did all this this morning, I took the rest of the day off and score me a vintage collection Has Lab Razor Crest Yep been waiting for this and happy to get it well its paid for anyways Thanks To my Super Wifey Amie is near close. Thanks
Yep I agree, I have a Kick dummy that has scared me like that. So I was in the shop today and that happened I was deep in thought and caught Amie out of the corner of my eye and kind a got me. and I wasn't supposed to be out there, I promised my Wife I would take a day off becaues she let me get the Razor Crest from Has Lab I didn't work was just out there thinking, I have so many builds to do. To name Imperial Probe droid 1/2 size, my friend's walker project, Well I think I was Bribed but it was a good one. so my eyes had a good break today, but back to the shop in the morning. Amie is close here! Amie is Chilling. Thanks
Well Okay Guys, what a day complete in the shop, I did a couple what I call tid bits, I will share this and its off topic but, I think you guys will like. Also started cutting parts for Amie's mini gun arm attachment. Well I will have to press these parts as I drill them but I will share the attempt. Or I can try another route.

This week, Samsung launched its two new foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 & Galaxy Z Flip 4. But, Samsung isn’t the only smartphone maker that launched a foldable phone this week. Xiaomi had a massive launch event in China yesterday, and at the event, the company announced many devices, from smartphones to a humanoid robot! At the event, we also got the second foldable phone from the brand, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2.
The first Mix Fold launched in April last year and was the first smartphone in the world to feature Liquid Lens technology. The successor comes at a lower price tag of ¥8999 (vs. ¥9999), which translates roughly to around $1330.
This year, the Mix Fold 2 looks completely different from the last year’s Mix Fold. First, the phone is slimmer, so when unfolded, the thickness is just 5.4mm. This makes it one of the slimmest foldable phones. When folded, it is not very thick at 11.2mm. This is opposite to the last year’s Mix Fold which was thicker than the likes of Z Fold 2 and Mate X2. The phone has the company’s custom hinge mechanism that includes carbon fiber dual hinge plates, durable MM alloy, and a compact layered design. The phone weighs around 262g which is also relatively light when discussing foldable smartphones. In comparison, the last year’s Mix Fold was over 300g.
Speaking of the displays, Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 has a 6.56-inch 120Hz E5 AMOLED panel on the outside with Dolby Vision & Gorilla Glass Victus protection. There is a 1000nits High Brightness Mode & dual ambient light sensor. On the inside, there is an 8.02-inch 120Hz LTPO 2.0 panel with Dolby Vision and flexible Ultra Thin Glass. This foldable display is an Eco2 OLED which results in lower power consumption and better display transparency over the normal OLED panel.
On the back, the Mix Fold 2 has three cameras. The primary camera has a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS & LEICA optics. The secondary camera has a 13MP sensor and an ultrawide lens. The third camera has an 8MP sensor & a 2X telephoto lens. There is support for 8K and Dolby Vision HDR video recording. For selfies, the outer display has a 20MP sensor. The LEICA branding also means that the camera software includes some built-in LEICA effects. There are two photographic styles included in the camera app – Leica Authentic & Leica Vibrant.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 has a 4,500mAh battery and supports 67W fast wired charging. There is no wireless charging support and also no IP rating. Under the hood, the phone has Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and up to 12GB RAM + 1TB storage.
Finally, MIUI Fold 13 runs out of the box, which is based on Android 12.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 comes in two colors, and here is the pricing for China –
12GB + 256GB – ¥8999 (~$1336)
12GB + 512GB – ¥9999 (~$1485)
12GB + 1TB – ¥11999 (~$1780)
In the Chinese market, the phone will go on sale on the 16th of August.

THE former Bathurst Gasworks site has become a topic of discussion again after the exhibition of a planning proposal related to the heritage conservation area.
In 2019, Bathurst Regional Council resolved to prepare the planning proposal to implement the recommendations of the of Heritage Conservation Area Review 2018.
The planning proposal was put on public exhibition between August 16 and September 13 of this year.
One of the items in the planning proposal was to list certain properties as heritage items on the Bathurst Regional Local Environmental Plan, including the old gasworks site in Russell Street.
The site was proposed to be listed as state significant, but Heritage NSW suggested that it be listed as an item of local significance.
According to a report from council's director of planning, Neil Southorn, the listing was of concern to Crown Lands.
Crown Lands acknowledged the sites heritage significance, but noted concerns that listing might impact on investigations or remediation works required to manage land contamination, or works to manage risk to public safety.
Jemena, which leases the site, did not respond to council's correspondence notifying it of the planning proposal.
Councillors have also expressed concern about the listing.
Mr Southorn's report explained what impact the listing could have in future.
"Heritage listing of the property will not necessarily prevent remediation works from being undertaken at the former gasworks site. Rather the listing would require an application for remediation works to consider heritage impact and how heritage impact can be minimised," he said.
"Additionally, any demolition works now or after heritage listing would require approval which, after listing, would require heritage impact to be a consideration but that would not necessarily prevent demolition or removal of fabric from occurring depending upon how heritage impact might be mitigated."

No account of Rhode Island’s growth and development wOuld be complete without a record of the life and work of Thomas Lyman Arnold, for many years one of the leading business men of this State, as well as of New York City. Successfully guiding the affairs of Arnold and Aborn, a firm of coffee and tea dealers, he proved himself a talented commercial leader; and for his achievements in this field, as well as for his kindly and pleasing qualities of character and personality, he w’on hosts of friends. A man of strong public spirit and lofty ideals of citizenship, warm in human affections and sympathies, genial and companionable by nature, Mr. Arnold was well equipped for living a useful and worthwhile life, in the course of which he won the highest regard of those who knew him.
Born in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, on March 2, 1856, he was a son of Lemuel Hastings and Harriet R. (Sheldon) Arnold, and a descendant of old and honored ancestors on both the Arnold and Sheldon sides of his house. One of the early Arnolds who won distinction in America and who was one of Mr. Arnold’s forebears, Jonathan Arnold was surgeon general in the Continental Army during the War of the American Revolution. He received for his services a grant of land at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, now a well-known site. His father, Lemuel Hastings Arnold, was a business man; and he had seven children, six of them sons, who became eminently successful in different fields of endeavor. They were:
- Lemuel Hastings.
- Edward Sheldon.
- Harriet R.
- Thomas Lyman, of this review.
- Frank W.
Several members of the family removed to Brooklyn, New York, while Thomas Lyman Arnold was still very young, and with them he went. There he attended the public schools, and later was graduated from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. He began his business career as a clerk with W. L. Strong and Company, cotton and woolen dealers, at the age of eighteen; and with this company he continued for about five years, acquiring a wealth of experience and knowledge of commercial procedure that placed him in an excellent position for the work that he was subsequently to perform. At the end of that period he was able to establish his own company, referred to above, that of Arnold and Aborn, dealers in coffee and tea, which he steered successfully through its early critical times to a place of solidity in the business world. Of this firm, he remained the executive head until his retirement about 1907.
Nor was this his only business activity; for Mr. Arnold was also interested in other enterprises, notably real estate, which he handled extensively, always with a clarity of judgment as to property values that astounded many of his associates. For instance, he purchased the Atlantic Yacht Club, held it for ten years, and sold it to the parties who later transferred it to the North German Lloyd Steamship Company, which needed the property for docking facilities. For at this pier the great ships “Bremen” and “Europa” were able to dock, although they were unable to do so elsewhere in the New York Harbor.
One of Mr. Arnold’s interests was the sea and the water, of which he was fond. A member of the old Brooklyn Atlantic Yacht Club, he was for years its Rear Commodore. In the last years of the nineteenth century he was among the famous yachtsmen of the world, unexcelled as an amateur racer. Owner of the “Awa” and the “Choctaw,” he won scores of competitions with these and other craft, winning and keeping many coveted trophies. After 1905 he made his summer home at Charlestown, Rhode Island, where, on the waterfront, he bought a large tract of land, developing it into a fine and beautiful colony, known as “Arnolds.” Here are today many fine estates, and the colony is one of Charlestown’s attractive spots. In order to protect those who bought property here near the sea, Mr. Arnold later purchased “Welcome Foster Farm,” the “Stanton Green Farm,” and the “Abbey, Sarah, and Mary Champlin Farm.” So he kept the region clear of intruders and undesirable inroads, and at the same time, close to the water, maintained his interest in yachting, designing now and then in his leisure hours a number of small sailboats.
After his retirement from Arnold and Aborn, he continued his activity in real estate circles; and, while his coffee and tea trade had been confined to the vicinity of New York City, his operations in land holdings extended throughout New England. In the Charlestown community, where he and his wife spent more and more of their time with the passing of years, the Arnolds came to be widely known; and here they took a lively interest in public affairs. They were both members of the Unitarian Church.
Thomas Lyman Arnold married, in Brooklyn, New York, on April 13, 1880, Mary N. Robinson, daughter of George C. and Mary Lyman (Arnold) Robinson, and granddaughter of the late Governor Arnold, of Rhode Island. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold, after a half century of happy wedded life, celebrated, on April 13, 1930, their golden anniversary. With them Mr. Arnold’s nephew, Thomas L. Arnold, 2d, for many years made his home, and he, since his uncle’s death, has carried on the affairs of the estate.
The death of Thomas L. Arnold occurred on Friday, May 16, 1930, in Charlestown, Rhode Island, after a two weeks’ illness. Though he was in his seventy-fifth year, he was dearly loved by his hosts of friends and acquaintances, for he had contributed substantially, indeed, to community life and to the business world. Many were the institutions that benefited from his helpful influence and his material donations; and these, like the people who knew him and were his friends, were sufferers by his death, an event that caused widespread sorrow and regret. His memory will live on, however, a source of inspiration and joy to others in the years to come.
