Officials at the University of California at Berkeley, who this week were sued for trying to shut down a speech scheduled on campus Thursday by conservative pundit Ann Coulter, apparently will have their wish fulfilled.
“There will be no speech,” Coulter told Reuters in an email. “I looked over my shoulder and my allies had joined the other team.”
“I’m very sad about Berkeley’s cancellation, but my sadness is greater than that. It is a dark day for free speech in America,” she tweeted.
She was referencing a decision by one of the sponsoring groups, Young America’s Foundation, to remove its support based on the university’s decision not to provide a reasonable level of protection from violent protesters.
The issue centers on the mostly organized and sometimes paid rioters who have been traveling from event to event across the country to protest the election of Donald Trump.
When YAF scheduled Coulter’s speech, the university immediately put a stop it, citing its recent experience with campus speakers. In February, a speech by libertarian Milo Yiannopoulos was canceled amid violent protests, and a scheduled speech by conservative scholar and commentator David Horowitz was canceled due to the university’s “Orwellian demands.”
Reuters reported Coulter still may visit the campus but not give a speech.
YAF had to withdraw, according to the Gateway Pundit blog, because the school planned to have security officers under a “stand-down” order in which they would only intervene if a life was in imminent danger.
“When Young America’s Foundation confirmed Ann Coulter would speak at UC-Berkeley as part of YAF’s nationwide campus lecture program on April 27, we assumed UC Berkeley would take all steps necessary to ensure the safety of students attending the educational event,” YAF explained.
“In the meantime we discovered that the University of California Police Department at Berkeley has an official ‘stand-down’ policy for any situation that develops on campus as long as the situation doesn’t involve the imminent loss of life, allowing the leftist thugs who have terrorized Berkeley’s campus to do so without consequence.”
The group cited a Washington Post report that “unsuccessfully attempted to frame the narrative as [a] potential battle between far-left and far right forces when, in fact, it has been far-left groups that have used violence and threats of violence against persons exercising their right to free speech, particularly the speech of those like Coulter who support Trump.”
“It goes without saying that the Young America’s Foundation isn’t afraid of a few red hats,” the group said. “The irony is that the UC-Berkeley gave birth to free speech protests some fifty years ago, long before many of these violent, anti-free-speech activists and assault-and-battery miscreants were even born.”
YAF warned that the leftists opposing Trump “are violent.”
“A February event at UC-Berkeley featuring Milo Yiannopoulos had to be cancelled due to violence from protesters advertising that they were ‘anti-Facists,’ when in fact they were anarchists using highly-organized, commando ‘Black Bloc’ tactics. When the smoke had cleared, these hoodlums had destroyed parts of the Berkeley campus to the tune of $100,000, and had outdone themselves within the City of Berkeley itself, causing nearly a half-million dollars of damage there.”
School officials had tried to cancel Coulter’s speech outright when it was first announced. Then they demanded the speech take place on their timetable at a location of their choosing.
School spokesman Nicholas Dirks on Wednesday blamed “outside groups.”
“This is a university, not a battlefield. The strategies necessary to address these evolving threats are also evolving, but the simplistic view of some – that our police department can simply step in and stop violent confrontations whenever they occur – ignores reality,” his statement said.
He said the school remains “ready” to welcome Coulter but officials will not “allow our students, other members of the campus community, and the public to be needlessly endangered by permitting an event to be held in a venue that our police force does not believe to be protectable.”
In some cases of recent left-wing violence against conservative students, it was discovered that school faculty members encouraged the resistance.
YAF had been joined by the Berkeley College Republicans in sponsoring Coulter’s speech. The two groups earlier this week sued the university’s president, Janet Napolitano, and several other officials.
The case accused them of shutting down the voices of conservative activists.
The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages and a judicial declaration that the defendants violated the constitutional rights of the two organizations under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, by “selectively enforcing the High-Profile Speaker Policy against BCR and YAF.”
Those decisions, the lawsuit contends, unreasonably restricted the “time, place, and manner of political speech” and resulted in a ban on the “expression of conservative viewpoints on the UC Berkeley campus.”
The lawsuit also named as defendants Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks, Interim Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Stephen Sutton, Associate Vice Chancellor Joseph Greenwell, university Police Chief Margo Bennett, Operations Division Captain Alex Yao and Patrol Lt. Leroy Harris.
The fracas began when Coulter announced she was scheduled to speak on the UC Berkeley campus, and school officials insisted she meet a list of demands.
They argued Coulter was so controversial she would need extra security. They later changed the date and time of her scheduled speech – so that it was planned at a time when students largely would be absent from campus – but Coulter refused the change.
WND reported a February melee on campus forced Yiannopolous to cancel his event. Rioters beat up Trump supporters, pepper-sprayed bystanders, looted a Starbucks, smashed bank windows and ATMs, and spray-painted “Kill Trump” on storefronts.
An April 12 speaking engagement by Horowitz was canceled when the school insisted he speak during a time when students are in class and in a room on a separate campus.
The lawsuit charges the university admitted in a letter it chooses to limit speech as a result of the “successful misconduct” of some off-campus interest groups.
“In other words, all one has to do to silence conservative speakers at U.C. Berkeley is to don a mask and become violent, or place anonymous phone calls to the administration threatening such violence,” the lawsuit said.
But the U.S. Constitution doesn’t permit hecklers to veto free speech.
The lawsuit argues: “Defendants freely admit that they have permitted the demands of a faceless, rabid, off-campus mob to dictate what speech is permitted at the center of campus during prime time, and which speech may be marginalized, burdened, and regulated out of its very existence by this unlawful heckler’s veto.”
The school used curfew rules, venue restrictions and time mandates against conservatives, while at the same time allowing left-wing speech from former Mexico President Vincente Fox and former Clinton adviser Maria Echaveste – many times on the same topics, the lawsuit said..
By those political tactics, the lawsuit alleges, “defendants have deprived YAF and BCR of their constitutional rights to free speech, due process, and equal protection. Accordingly, YAF and BCR seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent defendants from continuing to muzzle plaintiffs’ constitutionally protected speech, and to enjoin the defendants’ transparent attempts to stifle political discourse at UC Berkeley.”
The lawsuit alleges the university improperly adopted a secret “high-profile speaker policy” that gives campus officials virtually unlimited discretion to oppose speakers they don’t like.
During attempts to arrange the Horowitz speech, the lawsuit explains, school officials wanted attendance limited and that the location be kept secret “until hours before the event.”
The school also demanded nearly $5,800 for a “security fee.”
“Defendants are further allowing their subjective opinions about the anticipated reactions from critics – including a mob of masked, off-campus, ‘antifa’ – to dictate whether they choose to define a speaker to be subject to the High-Profile Speaker Policy, and there by impose a host of hurdles to their appearance that do not apply to speakers presumable welcome to the same critical mob (and university administrators),” the lawsuit said.

Breaking Bondage from Addiction
Addiction! Everyone knows somebody in substance abuse addiction – Or you are this someone.
And just how well do we realize the painful results that addiction causes….Sadly enough, some of us use even more to forget what we don’t want to remember.
In this community, I will use my personal life’s journey of addiction, through God’s forgiveness as a guide to help others determine some of the underlying roots that first cause us to begin using substances, suppressing pain-points, eventually leading to addiction.
Together, we will discover “the plans God has already had for us” when we practice faith sincerely to live freer without addiction and acknowledge a purpose that draws us to keep moving towards.
Imagine You Could...
Wake up with peace of mind, and a plan of intentional purpose believing Jesus demonstrated your forgiveness and worth as you move forward
Accept the reality that we cannot control the world around us. Instead, learn how to control what we consume in our mind, body, and soul.
Feel new levels of integrity, trust and gratitude by becoming free ,determined and committed to God's Word as our bondage breaker.
I’m a man who's been immersed into the numbness / darkness of addiction more than half of my life. Altogether this caused pain, regret, shame and every emotion relatable- living an unstable and unclear purpose in life.
It’s my belief that substance addiction is first created to suppress a pain that isn’t known how to be dealt with. For me, this started in my early childhood living in a home life of heavy alcohol consumption that led to abuse in several ways. Abuse, on all levels for me, created these bondage's of pain, neglect, embarrassment, fear, low self-esteem to just name some. Bondage in essence, is a mastery/ an enslavement/ a state of being bound. Starting from young childhood through adolescence, with all these things that hurt in a young developing life, I soon took what was available in my home - alcohol.
Within this Community, we will listen to, be kind to, and practice empathy to use each other to see the light of Hope, and without stopping - move toward a new freedom that brings back true life, free from addiction.
We don't know what a day might bring,but we can know Who brings the day!
One of the greatest virtues I have learned in my journey of sober living - with God first in All things - is that our Lord doesn’t just want to make us do harder things. He truly desires to make us into something.

'07 MacBookPro15 reassemble: Frozen hinge
2007 Macbook Pro 15" a1226 reassemble: Frozen hinge
Hi- I just started to reassemble a MBP15 that I've had apart for ages. Had to replace the lcd, bottom panel etc. As I get the lcd panel together I noticed both hinges are frozen stiff. I don't remember noticing anything like this when I took everything apart. Did I mess up by taking these off? This macbook had seen better days, so I took it apart to clean, re-apply the thermal paste etc. But the screen opened and closed just fine. Not too stiff or too loose. The lcd was cracked partially, but contained in the lcd panel.
The hinges are stuck fully open, on the same plane...like if the mbp could be opened so that the bottom panel and the rear display were laying flat on a tabletop. Hope that makes sense. And I'm hoping someone can tell me there's some trick to resetting 'em, or I'm just doing something stupid, and ya get them to move by doing this...
I can't believe how much these little things cost! I'll duct tape this thing back together before I'd buy new hinges! :-)
Thanks - mike

about the book:
Ahana, a wealthy thirty-three-year-old New Delhi woman, flees the pain of her mother’s death and her dark past by accepting a huge project in New Orleans, where she’ll coordinate the Annual Women’s Conference to raise awareness around violence against women. Her half-Indian, half-Irish colleague and public relations guru, Rohan Brady, who helps Ahana develop her online presence, offends her prim sensibilities with his raunchy humor. She is convinced that he’s a womanizer. Meanwhile, she seeks relief from her pain in an online support group, where she makes a good friend: the mercurial Jay Dubois, who is also grieving the loss of his mother. Her work in the U.S. and the online medium brings the two men into her life, and Ahana learns that neither is what he seems. With their differing sensibilities on a collision course, Ahana finds herself in a dangerous situation—and she discovers a side of herself that she never realized she had.
Louisiana Catch is an emotionally immersive novel about trust and who we project ourselves to be in the world. It’s a book about Ahana’s unreliable instincts and her ongoing battle to determine whom to place her faith in as she, Rohan, and Jay shed layers of their identities.
As Ahana matures from a victim of domestic sexual abuse into a global feminist leader, she must confront her issues: both with the men in her life and, ultimately, with her own instincts. Whom can she rely on to have her best interests at heart?
In Louisiana Catch Ahana is in her early thirties, lives in New Delhi and is very close to her mom who is a successful doctor. Her life changes drastically after she finally divorces her abusive husband Dev and when not long after, her beloved mother passes away. As the story flows Ahana deals with the loss of her mother and she tries to find her inner strength being that she was sheltered for much of her life. She finds a support group online where she meets a man named Jay. She cannot shake the feeling that Jay isn’t what he makes himself out to be as he has a bad habit of manipulating her through his texts and emails yet she can’t fully break off the online connection. She also meets Rohan Brady at work. Ahana initially doesn’t trust Rohan but the two eventually become friends. Also in the mix are Ahana’s family and close friends like Naina and her work as a women’s advocate for a non-profit. She works in public relations for “Freedom Movement”. Her work lets her travel to different parts of the country like Louisiana and NYC.
Much of the story revolves around Ahana finding her inner strength. Having her mom as her rock, she depended on her alot but now Ahana wants to depend on herself. She has divorced her abusive husband yet he seems to still pop up and try to play mind games.
“My name is Ahana Chopra, and I was born and raised in the most ludicrous city in the world: New Delhi. Sometimes, I feel New Delhi doesn’t understand me. Other times, I don’t understand it. I don’t think I’ve ever found a way to bridge the differences between what I was and what I was expected to be in this city.”
p.2, Louisiana Catch by Sweta Vikram
I liked Rohan’s character the most. He and Ahana slowly became friends, he earned her trust. I also found it interesting the dynamic between Ahana and Jay. In this digital era we connect so much through social media and through our cell phones. It is hard to know who to trust online, it can go either way. Much of the story centers around Jay’s virtual hold on Ahana. This reminded me of the tv show Catfish. When Ahana meets Jay online she is in an emotional state and looking for support and he exploits this. The book shows how easily it is to become “friends” online with a virtual stranger and the dangers this can pose. Without giving too much away, many times I was shaking my head because of some of the actions Ahana was taking and because one of the characters was making my skin crawl.
Another thing I liked was Ahana’s love of her culture and the way she described New Delhi, the food, the people the sights, the good and the bad of it. She would contrast and compare it to New York. I have a girlfriend who studied abroad in India for a few months and she had alot of stories to share when she returned, good and bad. Like the monkey who stole her dress right off the balcony where she and the other students were living. She saw him in a tree with it. She had stories about the food she ate, the people she met, the train rides, the rickshaws, the animals and many other interesting things. She loved this part of India. But she also told us about the downside of it, when she was actually harassed by a young man who had the audacity to grope her bare leg then made a run for it after facing zero repercussions.
In Louisiana Catch Ahana talks about how women are disrespected and abused, not just in her country but everywhere. She suffered alot at the hands of her ex-husband Dev especially. He was irritating to read about and the way he would manipulate her and harass her even after the divorce was really disturbing. I especially liked these lines as they ring true.
“I couldn’t force him to respect me, but I did make a choice not to be disrespected”
p.76, Louisiana Catch by Sweta Vikram
I enjoyed Louisiana Catch and recommend it to those looking for a well written book that revolves around relevant and important themes. I do have to give a trigger warning for the topics of rape and abuse within the storyline as Ahana opens up about what she suffered. It isn’t overly graphic, but it is discussed.

This is the only weekend to enjoy the performance of radical composer Terry Riley within the context of Doug Aitken's installations at MOCA. Aitken's sensitivity to music is an indisputable strength of his retrospective, Electric Earth, closing January 15. The composer, whose 1964 In C influenced the direction of Minimalist music, has had an impact on musicians ranging from Philip Glass to The Who.
The catch is that there are very few performances, the first is tonight at 7pm. Other improvisatory performances responding to Aitken's art will be held on an impromptu basis throughout the weekend. The experiential and unpredictable aspect is in keeping with Aitken's outreach as an artist, one that led him to cover huge sculptures with mirror-finishes and submerge them off the coast of Catalina for the next two months.

On the topic of Minimalism and MOCA, one of this year's most anticipated shows is Carl Andre: Sculpture as Place, 1958-2010 which opens in early April. This five-decade retrospective, which I saw in its brilliant presentation at DIA in Beacon, NY, includes the artist's signature arrangements of metal squares on the floor, other simple but grand sculptures as well as photographs and ephemera.

An early supporter of Minimalism was Virginia Dwan whose LA-based gallery was a great boon to the 1960s scene. She moved her gallery to New York in 1965 where her influence only expanded in helping to facilitate important land art by Robert Smithson, Michael Heizer and others. Her role is examined in Los Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery, 1959-1971, an exhibition of her own collections that opens at LACMA in mid-March.

Among those experimental artists of the 1960s was Marisa Merz, associated with Italian Arte Povera movement, so named for their use of non-previous materials. The first retrospective of her work opens at the Hammer Museum in early June.

Less minimal is the springtime opening of the latest of LA's mushrooming museum scene. The Marciano Art Foundation will house the contemporary art collections of fashion moguls Maurice and Paul Marciano in the Scottish Rite Temple on Wilshire Boulevard, which has been renovated by wHY architecture. The initial exhibition also includes an installation of Jim Shaw's Wig Museum.

Beginning in February, the gallery-cum-kunsthalle Hauser Wirth and Schimmel presents a trifecta of shows of artists supported by Paul Schimmel since the 1990s when he was curator of MOCA: the late Jason Rhoades, Paul McCarthy and the late Mike Kelley, all responsible for a fundamental shift in the use of multiple media and immersive installations.

From Pre-Columbian ornament at the Getty Museum to Painted in Mexico at LACMA to Radical Women at the Hammer to Lina Bo Bardi and Albert Frey at the Palm Springs Museum to The Making of the Modern at the San Diego Museum of Art. Well, we are all going to be wishing we had electric cars as we travel from city to city, county to county, checking out these extremely varied perspectives on the relationships between Los Angeles and Latin America.

text: verset, a short verse, especially from a sacred book, such as those found in the Song of Solomon and the Psalms, or a stanza form modeled on such biblical verse. The stanza form is characterized by long lines and powerful, surging rhythms and usually expresses fervent religious or patriotic sentiments. The verset is a flexible form approximating free verse and the prose poem and is open to a wide range of emotional expression. Poetic devices such as repetition, assonance, alliteration, and figures of speech contribute to the overall vigour of the lines. The verset appears mainly in the literature of European Christian countries where it was first used in medieval religious and mystical texts. Friedrich Hölderlin, Charles Péguy, and Paul Claudel have all written poems in this form.

We all felt sorry for our Volunteer Office Team after reading all the nasty notes which were dropped into the suggestion box. We care and we don’t want our beloved volunteer team to worry, to cry and be sad even though we all know they don’t do anything in this office. If a volunteer decides to change a departure date, there is only 12-step process to do it, after interviewing a potential volunteer there is only 24-steps to the process of making them official.
They have plenty of time, but this is not an excuse to write abusive notes to them and to make them cry. This is why we are here: ITWK – the saviors! This is our responsibility to investigate, to find the truth and to share the findings with the entire community. We sent all the abusive notes to the handwriting experts along with our volunteer’s writing samples. The findings were shocking. We couldn’t believe it and we are still shaking. We were not sure if we should share this, but we are sworn to present the truth and we have obligations. The shocking truth is that Volunteer Office wrote all these notes themselves! Why, we asked, why they would do such a thing?! “We didn’t feel loved enough and we thought that if we write abusive notes, the community will feel sorry for us and will show us some love. Nobody comes anymore to hug us, nobody wants to talk to us. We just wanted to be noticed. We were closing our doors so it would attract attention, but it didn’t work so we decided to write the notes so people would stop ignoring us. We are sorry” – they cried. We understood and hugged them. Nobody wants to be ignored and not be loved. Come on people, be human and show some love to our beautiful volunteer team.

Points pondered by someone who enjoys everything related to shoveling snow — especially when wearing headphones that are playing oldies music that's blasting at an eardrum-damaging volume — but wants no part of anything related to cutting the lawn.
In fact, assuming that there is an "Up There" and "Down There" at the end of this so-called life, the vision is that the "Down There" includes a place where it's too hot to snow, and the daily job is to cut acres and acres of weeds with a gas-powered push mower that kills every eight seconds because what's being cut is too tall.
1) Having written "2014" on all three checks written since Jan. 1, clearly it's not yet time to be out with the old and in with the new.
So, here are the two biggest disappointments in local sports in 2014.
A) The teachers strike that wiped out the month of October for Waukegan schools, and effectively ruined every fall sports season for every team.
In retrospect, it was a good thing that Waukegan lost its Week 2 football game to Zion-Benton because a victory in that game would have made playoff talk at least somewhat viable for the Bulldog faithful. And losing a rare opportunity to at least talk playoffs because the adults couldn't agree on something that should have been settled in June would have been devastating from a sport fan's point of view.
(An aside: The prediction is that when April rolls around and three spots on the Waukegan School Board — a voluntary group, by the way, as in they don't get paid — the incumbents will prevail, for better or for worse).
2) When Stevenson High basketball star Jalen Brunson was suspended for the third-place game at the state boys basketball tournament, his teammates apparently were to prepared to forfeit the game unless the suspension was overturned on appeal, which it was.
And it's OK for the kids to feel that way.
But it was a horrible example of school leadership at Stevenson High to support not playing the game. Stevenson signed up to play by the IHSA rules, and then because they didn't agree with an IHSA decision, they were prepared to take their ball and go home.
There was nothing wrong with appealing the IHSA decision. But to not to play if the decision didn't go Stevenson's way was a sad, sorry moment for every adult in a decision-making position at the high school.
And even later, you never heard a school-board member come out and say that if the IHSA says a kid can't play, then Stevenson should play without him. You don't have to agree the decision to accept it.
This was an important teaching moment at Stevenson High, and the adults failed the kids, and yet nobody seemed to care.
3) This falls into the "just when you thought you'd seen, heard, and read it all" file ...
In Johnsburg, there is a gas station that advertises on its big marquee sign, the price of a gallon of regular gas with a car wash, and underneath it is the price of a gallon of regular gas without a car wash.
Now, if you drive anywhere for 25 miles in a day, it's a guarantee that you'll see a half-dozen such gas stations.
But not one like this.
You see, the service station that offers a reduced price for gas if you also buy a car wash ... it doesn't have a car wash. And never did.
At the pump, there is a map to get you to a service station that does have a car wash, but it also has to be at least an 11-minute drive away.
And it also begs the question: If you want your car washed at a gas station, why wouldn't you just drive to the gas station that HAS the car wash, buy your gas, and get your car washed? Why would you drive to a gas station to buy gas and a car-wash ticket, and then drive 11 minutes to a different gas station to wash the car?
Seeing this reminded of what a cashier at the pet store said recently while food was being purchased for a very spoiled cat.
First, the setup. There are two pet-friendly big stores around that are easily accessible — one in Waukegan and one in Gurnee. And since spoiled cat has settled on a certain kind of food, fingers are always crossed that the canned food will be on sale at one store or the other.
If it's on sale, 5-6 cans are bought. If not, 1-2 are purchased.
So at the store in Gurnee one day, spoiled cat's food was not on sale, so one can was bought. At the register, a pleasant-enough lady asked if everything was found, and when told that the cat food was not on sale at this store, but was on sale at the other, she seriously suggested the following:
That I could go to the other store, take a picture with the phone of the sale price, come back to her store and show her the picture, and the store would match the other place's sale price.
It apparently never occurred to her that if the customer was already at the store getting the sale price, why would he/she leave that store with a picture in the iPhone so as to drive to another store to get the same price? Why not just buy the cat food at the sale price at the store you're already at?
4) Interesting that if there had been a college football BCS system this year instead of this new playoff format, Alabama and Florida State would be playing next Monday for the national title.
Ohio State and Oregon — the teams that actually will be playing next Monday — would have played on New Year's Day in the Rose Bowl.
5) While there is still a month to go in the regular season, here's a list of the area prep wrestlers that website illinoismatmen.com ranks as having the best chance of winning a state title.
In Class 3A (big schools), there's Andrew Mehrholz of Deerfield at 138 pounds, Joey Gunther of Libertyville at 160, and Tyler Harrington of Stevenson at 182.
In Class 2A, there's Jonathan Mackay of Grayslake Central at 160 and Cody Sawyer of Grayslake North at 195.
6) Though miserable at the predictions business, the guess in this corner of the sports section is that before the next college basketball season starts, the 35-second shot clock for men's games will become a 25-second shot clock.
As of now, games are slow-paced, boring, and impossible to watch. That's especially true with TV timeouts at 16 minutes, 12 minutes, eight minutes, and four minutes to go in each half.
What fans are now facing is that the first whistle after the 16-minute mark on the clock can come at any time, such as with 13:15 left on the clock. That's a commercial timeout. Then, the team that's losing is getting blown out so the coach calls a timeout with 12:20 left on the clock. That does not count as a TV timeout, but it's more commercials. Then, at 11:55 on the clock, there's a whistle and it's time for another TV timeout.
That makes for unwatchable basketball.
Since you're not going to eliminate the TV commercials, the only solution is to make the game faster-paced. Hence, the 25-second shot clock.
7) A.J. Schurr has one more year of football with the Army Black Knights.
And now that Angel Santiago is finally gone, perhaps Schurr will be named starting QB next fall and can turn around this sagging program.
The Black Knights went 4-8 this fall which means they were one of about three schools that didn't play in a bowl game.
Next year, Army has a manageable schedule that should get it six wins and into a bowl game ... assuming, of course, that second-year coach Jeff Monken makes the right call and has Schurr under center.

Women's National League Plate Final
10:00AM Hillhead Ladies 1 GHK Ladies 3
J. Sinclair (63) FG I. Holloway (15) FG
S. McGilveray (16) FG
F. Donald (53) PC
The drizzle lifted briefly for the start of the Women’s National League Plate Final between GHK Ladies and Hillhead Ladies ‘A’, but soon returned for most of a fairly one sided game. This didn’t dampen GHK’s game however, who won the Plate 3-1. GHK turned out a strong team to play the Hillhead second team, which made for an entertaining match despite poor weather.
GHK started the more lively of the two sides, missing a very early opportunity to go into the lead through a well taken short corner, but Hillhead managed to deny them with some nervous defending. Susan McGilveray showed some great skills throughout the game, and demonstrated these early on to gain territory, but unfortunately GHK couldn’t do anything with it. They dominated the possession early on, with only a couple of quick counter attacks from Hillhead that troubled the GHK defence, but some great goalkeeping keeps them from scoring.
GHK continued to make the best of their possession, again with some great skills from McGilveray leading to Hillhead goalie being tested for the first time. Hillhead made a quick break a minute later, but Jill Thompson lost possession after a great run. GHK quickly pick up the pace after re-gaining possession and score the first goal of the match after a quick burst forward, with Iona Holloway scoring from open play.
This was shortly followed by a penalty corner for GHK that was put away by McGilveray. The scores reflected the run of the game, but Hillhead’s ‘A’ team still managed to apply pressure to GHK at intervals through the first half. They were denied several scoring opportunities by some quick thinking by the GHK defence, robbing them of possession.
GHK, playing in dark blue and green managed to make the most of their possession for the rest of the half, with some deft cross field passes really causing problems for Hillhead, who could only manage sporadic forays into the GHK half.
The second half started more brightly for Hillhead who started to gain possession and territory, but couldn’t make it count. Only some great goalkeeping from Kim Wood kept the scores at 2-0, until GHK’s Fiona Donald put the ball in the goal from a corner, setting the win out of Hillhead’s reach.
Hillhead managed to grab a consolation goal against the run of play however, with Jenny Sinclair bringing the scores to 3-1 at the final whistle.
Women's National League Cup Final
14:00PM Giffnock 1 Milne Craig Western 4
R. Simpson (39) FG H.Cram (11, 36,49, 61) FG, FG, PC, FG
Judge and Cram: Winning Combination for Western
In front of a full crowd, Sam Judge and Holly Cram teamed up to net all of Western's goals in their 4-1 win over Giffnock to take the Shepherd+Wedderburn Scottish Cup Saturday at Peffermill.
Giffnock came out strong and dominated the first half but couldn’t keep momentum. Ex Scotland internationalist, and Olympian, Rhona Simpson fired off a shot in the first 10 minutes to get Giffnock going but the shot went wide. Giffnock continued to maintain possession but couldn’t make it happen.
Then Western’s Sam Judge made a break down the left hand side and passed the ball through to Holly Cram who made a quick flick free hit to take the Glaswegians ahead by one. Despite the setback, Giffnock continued to dominate; keeping the ball in Western’s half. In the last five minutes of the first half Western made a push but couldn’t convert another goal.
First time coach, and ex Scotland player, Vishal Marwaha must have said something inspiring to Milne Craig Western during the break, or specifically to Holly Cram who came back to score a hat trick in the second half thanks to more assistance from Sam Judge.
Six minutes into the second half, Judge crossed a ball to Cram who hit the mark to bring the scoreline to 0-2 for Western. Rhona Simpson answered back three minutes later, rocketing a ball into the top left hand corner of the goal getting Giffnock on the board.
Both teams toughened up still seeing a chance for the cup. In the 49th minute Judge and Cram worked their magic again for a 1-3 lead. Giffnock had a few more chances; Fiona Sullivan ran the ball straight down the middle of the D with only the keeper to beat but couldn’t get passed.
Then Giffnock's Kimmie Bright made a run down the left side and hit a pass into Lyndsey Allan right in front of the goal but Western’s keeper came out to make the save. It was double trouble Judge and Cram who sealed the 1-4 victory for Western in the 61st minute.
The result takes away Giffnock’s chance for a place the European Trophy as Western will represent Scotland.

HAROLD HARMON Sports Reporter
April 15, 2014
ALVA, Okla. – The return trip from Northwestern Saturday was much longer than the trip to Alva Thursday.
After Friday’s two excellent games between two good teams, Saturday’s action was shock and awe in light of a baker’s dozen home runs by the Lady Rangers in a sweep of Southeastern softballers.
The hostesses logged 17-4 and 13-7 victories over the Storm, but it wasn’t quite enough to dislodge the Storm from the top spot in the Great American Conference standings.
Southeastern is 29-13 overall and 22-9 in GAC action. NW is 33-13 and 21-9, leaving the Storm a slight edge in the conference race with two weeks remaining.
Storm coach Ron Faubion said, “We hit well enough to win every game and we played defense well enough to win every game. We just ran out of pitching.
“Sydney Kramer, Lauren Renneker, Jessica Simmons and Haley Strawn all hit the ball well.
“We played really well the first day and didn’t show up for the second day.
“We have eight games left in the regular season. All are conference games and all are at home. We control our own fate with two weekends left for conference games. How well we finish is strictly up to us.
“We’re just hoping to have our regular turnout of fans this weekend and next weekend. Great support does indeed make a difference.”
Southeastern is scheduled to host Southwestern Friday and Saturday. Henderson State, No. 3 in the conference race, is slated to be here on April 25-26.
The 2014 regular-season champion likely will be determined in the final week of competition.
Southeastern mounted a two-out rally in the first inning when Sydney Kramer collected the first of three-straight singles. Laramie Beal followed with a single and Haley Strawn’s base hit plated pinch-runner Shaina Crites.
Four solo home runs later, the Lady Rangers had a 3-run lead they never relinquished.
Lindsay Thorstenson led off with a home run for NW and it was the first of four straight for the center fielder. Right fielder Sylvana Kelley added three homers, pitcher Shelby Anderson and catcher Tyler Casada had one roundtripper each.
Kramer paced the Storm with three for three and was one of only two with multiple hits.
The Storm was simply outmuscled as NW collected 15 hits to SE’s nine. Three errors didn’t help the LadyStorm as NW played errorless ball.
The Storm scored two in the second on Jessica Simmons’ single that drove in Arianna (A.J.) Jones and Mindy McElmore.
The Lady Rangers added five in the second, four in the third and four in the fourth to end it on the run-rule.
Kramer was three for three and Laramie Beal two for three to lead Southeastern. A.J. and McElroy were each one for two with a run scored. Simmons, Strawn and Courtney Riddle were one for three each.
Thorstenson was four for four, all home runs, scored four and drove in five to lead Northwestern.
McElroy pitched the first 1.2 innings and allowed nine runs, five earned, on nine hits. Hosanna McCoy finished the second inning and gave up nothing before Rachel Jones pitched the last two innings, giving up eight runs on six hits.
McElroy took the loss and dipped to 16-5.
NW opened the scoring on a leadoff double, walk and two-out single to make it 1-0 after one inning.
The Storm tied it in the second when Beal walked to open the inning, Stawn doubled her to third and A.J. walked one out later to load the bases. Lauren Renneker’s sacrifice fly to center field drove in Beal.
NW continued the long-ball barrage in the bottom of the second when Megan Sanders led off with a homer, followed by a pair of doubles and Thorstenson’s fifth home run of the day. Anderson added her second homer of the day to make it 6-1.
Southeastern picked up a run in the fourth when Riddle walked and pinch-runner Connor McCoy scored on a single by A. J.
Two in the fifth and three in the sixth ended SE’s scoring.
Northwestern scored five in the fifth and two in the sixth to wrap it up.
Jacee Bennett started for the Storm, worked the first 2.2 innings, allowing nine runs on 12 hits. McCoy finished the game, going 3.1 frames and allowing four runs on five hits.
Bennett took the loss to make her record 8-5.
Simmons and Renneker were two for three each to lead the Storm. Renneker belted her second homer and drove in three runs. Simmons scored one run.
A.J. was one for two, scored a run and drove in a run. Lacie Cook, Beal and Strawn were one for three each for the Storm and Kramer was one for four.
Thorstenson was five for five with a home run, three runs scored and three batted in to top NW.

Mostly About Me: A Path Through Different Worlds
In Mostly About Me, Rudolph H. Weingartner gives a detailed and thoughtful account of a varied life that took him from pre-Hitler Heidelberg to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, via many intervening stops. He became an American during his adolescence in New York and while serving on an LST in the U.S. Navy. He then tells of his studies at Columbia and of the stumbling that finally led to an academic career in philosophy. It began with a job at Mortiner Adler's curious research institute in San Francisco and continued with a few years on the Columbia faculty. In 1959, he returned west to teach for nine years at San Francisco State. In 1968, he fled from there to a somewhat calmer Vassar, after S.F.State was overtaken by turmoil. After Vassar, Weingartner made a shift to academic administration. Here is an extensive account of what was involved in being successful as dean at Northwestern, followed by the story of the author's frustrating stint as provost of the University of Pittsburgh. Weingartner's private life gets virtually equal attention in this book. He talks about his parents, his brother, and about his two children. He tells the story of a marriage of forty-two years and of its sad end; he relates how he recovered, thanks to a second marriage. In addition to family members, a large cast of characters of friends, colleagues, and acquaintances make their appearance in this book. Among broader topics, the author takes up his relationship to his Jewish religion and gives an account of the many manifestations of his interest in music and art. Mostly About Me offers glimpses into the different worlds in which its author has played a role. But it also affords an insight into the person who has lived so varied a life and has here reflected on it.


Union-1100BC was developed in response to the enormous environmental problem with the plastic today. It is not only applicable for a wide range of plastics, but also simplifies the compounding procedure of the recycled plastics, therefore delivering an elevated economic value for your recycled materials. Furthermore, the use of Union-1100BC will deliver the recycled plastics not only satisfactory but also much more stable physical and mechanical properties over the conventional additives. Union 1100, a recycling additive specifically designed for the purpose of plastic recycling and reprocessing. Union 1100 provides the possibility to recycle and reprocess injection moulding waste materials directly in your factory. Taking PC/ABS as an example, you need first to collect the waste materials from the previous injection moulding production. Then crush the waste material into smaller granules and sent for drying to remove the moisture inside. Mix the waste material, union 1100 and virgin material, which is optional. Homogenise the mixture and then is ready for next injection moulding. Note that unlike regular recycling procedures, preliminary compounding is not needed! Which means, utilising Union 1100 saves time and cost and additionally the life time of the plastic material – a good solution for plastic recycling.

What eager crowds to greet thy glad return
Within the temple’s sacred precincts throng;
Each face looks glad, and ev’ry grateful tongue
Declares the joys which in each bosom burn:
Thou com’st — at once the church is hush’d and still,
Nought but thy firm, and deep ton’d voice is heard,
Teaching mild Christian love — its ev’ry word
To reason’s guidance bends the stubborn will
And draws the veil from pleasure’s dangerous snare.
Conviction spreads a general light — all feel
A holy flame, a pure religious zeal,
And all, with one accord, pour forth a prayer,
A righteous prayer, and glowing from the heart
That they and thou, good man, no more may part.

TENS (TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION)
It is at this level that the pain gate first postulated by Melzack and Wall in 1965 operates. They proposed the existence of a gating mechanism at the spinal level that could alter ascending transmissions of nociceptive input.
The mechanism by which the gate influences afferent transmission is based on the quantity of input between A
and C fibres to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
The substantia gelatinosa consists of a group of cells located in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
and C fibres project to, and synapse on, both the substantia gelatinosaand the first central
transmission (T) cells
in the dorsal horn.
It was thought that the T cells, when sufficiently stimulated, activated an actionsystem that is responsible for response and perception.
The T cells are, in turn, excited by the A
and C fibres.
Melzack and Wall felt that
the substantia gelatinosa modulated the transmission from peripheral (A
& C) fibres to central (T) cells by presynaptically inhibiting the fibres from stimulating the T cells
The gate is “closed” by high levels of activity in the A
Using the negative feedback system, the A
fibres exert presynaptic on the T cells via facilitation of the substantia gelatinosa.
The gate is “opened” with high levels of activity from the C fibres, preventing the substantia gelatinosa from exerting its inhibition on the T cells.
This results in T cell excitation by either spatial or temporal summation.
The net result is the perception of pain.
If nociceptive information is allowed through the gate then this traffic willcontinue up the lateral spinothalamic tract of the spinal cord to the thalamus, andfrom here to the cerebral cortex.
As this stimulus passes through the brainstem it may cause an interactionbetween the
periaqueductal area of grey matter (PAG)
These nuclei form part of the descending pain suppression system and theirdescending neurons can release an endogenous opiate substance into thesubstantia gelatinosa at the spinal cord level.
The chemical nature of this endogenous opiate, which may be
, is such as
to cause inhibition of transmission in the nociceptive circuit synapses
This is achieved y blocking the release of the chemical transmitter (substance P) in the pain circuit.

The Coalition to Combat Human Trafficking in Texas (CCHT-TX) has been in development for 2-1/2 years. As we have worked at mobilizing, educating, and resourcing Coalition partners along the border and in Texas cities where most trafficking victims are destined, it became obvious that this would need some single-minded devotion. Thus, it has been the desire of the Coalition to have a dedicated Director for some time now.
Allow us to introduce you to Cynthia Aulds, our COALITION DIRECTOR! Cynthia previously served as the Missions Coordinator at Sugar Land Baptist Church in the Houston area. She has been a part of and followed the development of and significantly supported the Coalition since its early beginnings.
In Cynthia’s Own Words: Much of my prior work involved anti-human trafficking efforts in Houston. I grew up in Houston, have lived the majority of my life there, and had no idea human trafficking existed, much less to the extent that it does. The more I learned, the more I felt my passion changing to concentrating efforts on combatting this horrific industry.
After being a part of the initial group who met in Laredo, Texas in November 2015 to establish the Coalition and seeing the work progress over the past 2 ½ years, I am beyond excited to have been chosen to lead efforts as the Coalition moves forward!
Nell Green, Coalition Advisor says about Cynthia: Cynthia has hit the ground running and already met with leaders in the Laredo area, establishing partnerships and setting immediate and long term goals to combat human trafficking in that region.
In partnership with Houston area organizations, especially Fe Y Justicia, she has coordinated the first SAFE RECOVERY workshop. This event included safety and labor trafficking awareness programs for a Cambodian Refugee community extremely hard hit by Hurricane Harvey, and thus highly vulnerable as victims of labor trafficking, either by being trafficked for construction laborer work or as victims of renegade construction companies utilizing trafficked workers.


Fox announced a new animated series from Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard, and the show has got a pretty fantastic cast lined up.
Fox just wrapped up its executive press call outlining what we can expect to see from the network in its 2019-2020 season, and they’ve added a pretty exciting new animated show. Fans of Bob’s Burgers should definitely get excited, because this new show, called The Great North, comes from Bob’s creator Loren Bouchard.
The Great North is a series set in Alaska and follows the Tobin family, which consists of a single dad raising several kids. The Tobin patriarch must learn to cope and support his daughter when her artistic dreams take her from the family fishing boat and into the glitzy world of the local mall.
From the sound of the show’s description, The Great North has the ingredients needed to become as loved by fans as Bob’s Burgers. Like Bob’s, the show will feature a loving (albeit a bit strange) family doing their best in the midst of all of the series hijinks and a unique family situation. That fun balance of craziness and genuine familial affection is what helped Bob’s stand out, and it could help The Great North stand out as well.
But a great series idea from a solid creator is nothing without a solid cast, and The Great North has lined up some amazing talent. Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Jenny Slate, and Will Forte are all lined up as cast members for the new show, though it hasn’t been announced who each actor will play.
This isn’t the first time these actors have worked with Bouchard, as they have all appeared on Bob’s Burgers. Offerman has voiced several characters on the show, as has Mullally (though she most notably provides the voice for Linda Belcher’s sister, Gayle). Jenny Slate voices the teen mean girl, Tammy Larsen, and Will Forte is the voice for lecherous seaplane pilot Kurt Enerny.
This is definitely going to be a series Bob’s Burgers fans can’t miss. While we don’t have a specific release date for the series, Fox has confirmed that The Great North will premiere in 2020.

I’ve been watching the impeachment hearings half-heartedly. It is more like a professional wrestling episode than a courtroom drama. We have clearly, rigidly defined packs of assailants with predefined arguments and counters all set against the backdrop of patriotism. Hidden behind the drama, the theater, the awful, rancorous bluster and rhetoric is the corrosive effects of idiocy on the legacy of American prestige.
I don’t know if Trump broke the law when he asked President Zelensky to investigate the son of a political rival. It certainly doesn’t seem very presidential. Plus, it doesn’t fit in at all with the whole MAGA isolationist propaganda.
I’ve always accepted America has all the friends that money can buy, but this really seems to reek of a protection scheme. “Bad things happen, you know,” he says, his eyes filled with bombers and armored troop carriers. Moreover, it really runs counter to all the idiosyncratic visions of American strength and forthrightness. Can you imagine Gregory Peck asking Charles Bickford for help in the final gunfight against Charlton Heston in “The Big Country?”
But, the worst part is watching career diplomats and statesmen being insulted, maligned and chastened because our government is being run by a bunch of “4-star clowns who are about to give the whole circus away.” Most of our elected officials seem to thrive on air time, they will do anything to get a little ink. Their livelihood depends on being seen. In a real way, the US government is the ultimate reality show. Probably no mistake that Trump ended up as president.
Foreign service is another story, though. They toil away, off stage, doing the dirty work of ensuring world peace. Tearing down walls and building lines of communication, keeping what little sanity remains, staying one step ahead of disaster. A dirty, thankless job with few real rewards. Now, they are being dragged into congressional hearings and being asked to explain the failings of the White House. Talk about the sins of the parents being visited upon their children.
And to cap the performance, to add a little more insult to the injury we have the President, in one of the least presidential public performances, tweeting insults and accusations to the public record. Whether you approve of Trump’s performance as president or not you have to find his public, childish tantrums are disturbing and damage the delicate fabric of our nation.
And, you can’t escape it. It is repeated, and reported, and retweeted, ad nauseam. I am sixty years old, so I know full well how the internet has changed everything.
But, this seems beyond the pale. And it can only make things worse. When the president finds it just as easy to attack his accusers publicly and viciously as he does to defend himself it provides the perfect impetus to deal with our own detractors in the same way.
I remember when HR Halderman’s lawyer called Senator Daniel Inouye from Hawaii “a little Jap.” He later defended it by saying he wouldn’t mind being called a little American. It was a terrible thing to say and people were outraged.
How far we have fallen. I worry that we haven’t really hit bottom. Time will tell.
It seems as if polite society is a lot less polite, and it’s getting worse. We may have crossed a bridge over which we can never return. As long as we accept the level of anger and animosity we won’t. It isn’t only about democracy it is about our humanity.
And that is the real crime.

National acceptance of racism is the first step toward true harmony
The National Anti-Racism Partnership and Strategy discussion paper, released last week by the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), marks an important milestone in Australian's national battle against racism.
Professor Kevin Dunn, Dean of the School of Social Sciences and Psychology at the University of Western Sydney, says the discussion paper should be recognised as a step in the right direction for Australia.
"The AHRC have taken this step at the request of the Australian Government. Since February 2011, a national partnership has been created, consultations have been held with the community, and a national response to the issue of racism in this country has been drafted," says Professor Dunn.
"This initiative is an important recognition on behalf of the Government that racism does exist in this country. In a short time, we have come a long way – only a few years ago, the dominant political response to racism was public denial."
Professor Dunn was the lead researcher on the 12 year Challenging Racism Project, which in February 2011 revealed the perspectives of more than 12,500 surveyed Australians and provided a national picture of the racism, ethnic relations and cultural diversity.
He says most Australians have readily admitted for some time that racism is a problem in Australia, but politicians have taken longer to see the signs.
"Australian people acknowledge that racism is an issue," says Professor Dunn.
"27 per cent have experienced it in the form of name-calling and insults and 23.4 per cent have been treated less respectfully on the basis of race – and still, politicians were quick to reject the link.
"Time and time again, when an incident with a clear racial element attracted public attention, the automatic response was to deny, deny, deny."
Professor Dunn says the attacks against Indian students in Melbourne and Sydney in 2009 are an example of the political denial. Another well-known example was the Howard Government's response to the Cronulla riots in late 2005.
"When students of Indian appearance were robbed and violently beaten on at least 14 occasions in less than two months, our political representatives asked for the public to view the attacks as mere crimes of opportunity," says Professor Dunn.
"And when Prime Minister John Howard denied that the riots indicated a problem with racism in Australia, he audaciously asserted that he had a "more optimistic view of the character of the Australian people"."
In a recent article, published in the Journal of Intercultural Studies, Professor Dunn explained how this discourse of denial, which was so regularly demonstrated by our politicians, also exists within segments of the community.
"In responses to the Challenging Racism Project, Australians from non-Anglo backgrounds, including those born in the Middle East and South Asia, were significantly more likely to deny the existence of racial prejudice," he says.
"While some research suggests that members of those groups who are the target of racism will be more likely to acknowledge it, other research suggests personal costs associated with acknowledging racism may prevent people from doing so.
"Racism is allowed to continue, as an undercurrent of society, because people may fear the social costs of being labelled a complainer."
Professor Dunn says it has been abundantly clear to researchers, and to most everyday Australians, for some time that strong leadership is needed to reinforce multiculturalism in this country and to stamp out racism.
"The National Anti-Racism Partnership and Strategy will provide this leadership and action, but it is still early days. The AHRC still require members of the community to go online, view the discussion documents, and provide their feedback," he says.
"In the fight against racism, one of our most powerful weapons is public discussion – bringing the most difficult issues to the front of people's minds, and not allowing them to hide in the shadows. The discussion paper provides this opportunity, and the Australian public should take it."

Avery Tare – aka Dave Portner – of Animal Collective has shared a trippy new music video for his tune “HORS_.”
The swirling track comes off the producer’s new Cows on Hourglass Pond – out March 22 on Domino Records.
“To me, this video is just about the beauty of a horse, its movements, expressions and textures,” director Abigail Portner (who is also Avey Tare’s sister) wrote of the project. “I lit the horse, Calliope, like she was on a stage, colored lights and haze to take it out of context of a normal stable setting, turn the focus to the horse as a character and make it a bit more surreal.”
Recently, Avey Tare dipped his toe further into the Grateful Dead/psychedelia world, collaborating with Mickey Hart on the Rhythm Devil’s 2017 RAMU album.
“I was a little uncertain what my role would be or what it would be like working with Mickey,” Portner told Relix at the time. “It lives up to all I had come up with in my own head, in terms of that process and everything I’ve taken from the Dead’s music.”

U.S. Rep. Ed Case said Friday that he is now a member of the U.S. House Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan coalition of U.S. representatives committed “to forging nonpartisan solutions on key national issues.”
The caucus is a coalition of 58 members of the U.S. House equally divided between Democrats and Republicans.
“In our deeply divided and polarized country, it is more critical than ever that we move past the politics of all-or-nothing and forge a better path to just plain solving problems and delivering solutions for all Americans,” Case said in a press release Friday.
He added, “The Problem Solvers Caucus offers that path, starting with open and civil debate on the most difficult issues of our time, and on through to mainstream solutions that will earn the lasting support of most Americans.”
In his first action with the caucus Case will join a delegation heading to the U.S.-Mexico border this weekend “for a first-hand review of the ongoing surge of migrants” and the response from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Comprehensive immigration reform including border security is a Problem Solvers Caucus priority. Other priorities include COVID-19, infrastructure, health care, immigration, criminal justice reform and gun violence reduction.
Case said he hopes to contribute to the caucus’ work in several areas including skyrocketing deficits and debt.

Ertaumtes – Hans Sachs (1918) 37.5″ x 55″ German Movie Poster LB
- Additional information
ERTAUMTES – ORIGINAL 1918 GERMAN LB POSTER – HANS SACHS COLLECTION VERY RARE!
Original 1918 German Linenbacked Movie Advertising poster (37 1/2″ x 55″) Poster has borders cleaned & touched up, border tear touch ups and surface scuff touch ups. This poster is overall in Very Good to Fine Condition. Please refer
Hans Sachs (poster collector)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His life in Germany
Hans Josef Sachs was born in Breslau, Germany, now Wrocław, Poland, on August 11, 1881. He began collecting posters when he was only 16, possibly inspired by a gift to his father of three life-size prints of Sarah Bernhardt signed by Alphonse Mucha. In 1903-4 he served a year in the army, and again for some months in 1914-15. He was educated as a chemist, receiving his doctorate in 1904 in chemistry, physics, and mathematics; and then another in dentistry. He then interned for six months in the United States. He was married for the first time in 1910. While he was successful as a dentist, with Albert Einstein among his patients, and wrote a number of standard works on periodontosis, his avocation was posters. He regularly worked from three o’clock in the afternoon into the night on his passion, making a detailed index card for each poster, each of which was identified by a numbered label. His poster collection grew, and in 1905 he was one of the principal founders and then the president of the Verein der Plakatfreunde(Society of Poster Friends), which soon had regional chapters. In 1910 it founded a quarterly Das Plakat (The Poster), with Sachs as both editor and publisher.
The purpose of Das Plakat was to promote poster art, for both collectors and scholars. While there were a number of magazines devoted to posters, of Das Plakat it was said “And the clarion of this German poster exuberance was a magazine called Das Plakat, which not only exhibited the finest poster examples from Germany and other European countries, but its high standards underscored its exquisite printing, established qualitative criteria that defined the decade of graphic design between 1910 and 1920.” Moreover, “. . . . given its focus on conventional and avant garde sensibilities (it) emerged as a more historically influential review than any of the others.” During its short life from 1910 to 1921, its circulation grew from 200 to over 10,000. TheVerein der Plakatfreunde ended a year later. It is unclear why the poster group and its magazine ended, possibly because of conflicts between collectors, art lovers, commercial artists, and business.
The poster collection
The collection was not narrowly focused. Its 12,500 posters included works by world-famous artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Wassily Kandinsky, Käthe Kollwitz, Edvard Munch , and 31 of the 35 posters designed by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. There were posters by the Viennese Secessionists Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, Joseph Maria Olbrich, and the Munich Secessionist Franz Stuck; and Art Nouveau and Jugenstil posters by Aubrey Beardsley,Thomas Theodor Heine, Alphonse Mucha, and Henry van de Velde. Famous Plakatstil (Posterstyle) artists included Edmund Edel (de), Hans Rudi Erdt,Julius Gipkens, Ludwig Hohlwein, Julius Klinger, Hans Lindenstadt, Paul Scheurich (de),Karl Schulpig (de), and Lucian Zabel (de) . Others were by Continental leaders in graphic design and posters Lucian Bernhard, Jules Cheret, Max Pechstein, Théophile Steinlen, and Félix Vallotton, joined with works by famous American artists James Montgomery Flagg, Charles Dana Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, and Edward Penfield.
Arrest, escape from Germany and life in America
On 9 November 1938, Kristallnacht, he was arrested and sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. The collection was stolen by order of Josef Goebbels, who wanted them for a proposed new wing devoted to business art in the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin (Museum of Decorative Arts). After 17 days in the concentration camp, Sachs was released, and with his second wife Felicia and their one-year-old son Peter were able to escape from Germany, first to London for a few days, and then to New York. From his former collection he was able to take with him only the 31 posters by Toulouse-Lautrec, which he later sold in America. Despite a recommendation from his former patient in Berlin, Albert Einstein, that he was well qualified to practice dentistry, he had to return to school, getting a second doctorate in dentistry from Harvard in 1941.
In the 1950s, he was told by the West German government that the posters had been destroyed by the Russians. In 1961 he accepted compensation of about 225,000 marks, then about $25,000. But in 1966, many were rediscovered in East Berlin, in the basement of the Deutsches Historisches Museum (German Historical Museum). Sachs’s posters were identified by his label affixed to the back. Although Sachs flew to Berlin in 1974, he was not allowed to enter East Berlin. He died that year on March 21 without seeing his posters again.
After seven years in the courts, in February, 2009 Hans Sachs’s son Peter was ruled to be the lawful owner of 4344 posters, but it was not until 2013 that they were released. Guernsey’s auction house in New York held sales in January and November, 2013, and will hold a third on a date not yet announced. Buyers included the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Peter Sachs died on September, 2013.

Some cuts never heal: Healthcare workers urge New York’s legislators to reject funding cuts
On Tuesday, March 5, healthcare workers from hospitals, health systems and other care providers throughout New York came together in Albany.
United, they rallied, they marched, and they implored New York’s state legislators to protect healthcare funding, to invest in healthcare, and to recognize the impact of the healthcare system on people and communities statewide.
But most critically, they urged New York’s legislators to reject the largest state budget healthcare reductions proposed in years.
Healthcare workers came together to protect the community anchors that provide care to 20 million New Yorkers and stand ready 24/7/365 to save lives, bring new life into the world, and respond to any emergency.
They came together to protect providers that already face significant challenges and threats.
Healthcare workers rallied because many of New York’s most vulnerable – children, individuals with disabilities, the elderly - are covered by Medicaid.
They rallied because drastic cuts to Medicaid affect every New Yorker’s care.
Healthcare workers marched because investments in healthcare drive transformation and innovation that lead to better care for future generations of patients.
They marched because improvements to patient care quality are being seen right now – and cuts put that progress at risk.
Healthcare workers raised their voices because they know that when you invest in healthcare, jobs are created in and outside the hospital’s walls, local economies are boosted, and communities become stronger and healthier.
They raised their voices because they know that some cuts never heal.
We’re grateful to the healthcare workers who came together at the state capital, and the many more who have made their voices heard within their local communities.
Every day, the individuals at New York’s hospitals and health systems demonstrate an unwavering commitment to improving care quality, access and delivery.
We urge New York’s legislators to remain committed to those goals, as well.
Our fight to protect healthcare funding is not over, and we need your voice. Contact your local legislators and urge them to reject proposed healthcare funding cuts.

With 2 million drunk driving accidents every year- 60% of drivers will be involved in a drunk driving accident at some point in their life. Working in our San Diego personal injury law firm as a car accident lawyer‚ I am constantly faced with the heartache of families that have lost loved ones and victims whose lives are torn apart in these horrible accidents.
Over the last twenty years or so there has been a push to stop drunk driving. Groups such as MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) try to end this epidemic through awareness‚ public announcements parade across our television screens and signs commemorating a life lost flood our highways‚ but still drunk driving remains a problem. Strict laws have even been implemented and patrols increased on weekend nights‚ but still 10% of drivers at late hours are intoxicated. In spite of all these efforts drunk drivers still have a significantly greater chance of getting in a car accident while drunk than being arrested with a DUI.
All of these facts are a little depressing and often times people simply give up- deciding to protect themselves and their families by simply avoiding night time driving—there are‚ however‚ ways to keep yourself safer from drunk drivers when you take to the roads by simply paying attention. Knowing all potential signs of intoxicated driving‚ and monitoring drivers on the road for these signs can greatly reduce your chance of falling victim. Seattle auto accident attorney‚ Jason Epstein‚ has written an article with tips to help you spot and keep yourself safe from drunk drivers until an officer can get them off the road. The article‚ Top Ways to Spot a Drunk Driver‚ is available through the preceding link.
There are many legal complications that come with a drunk driving incident and if you have fallen victim to a drunk driver do not hesitate to contact an attorney. You may contact our personal injury law office
