Court: Teacher can't refer to 'God' in class banners
A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Poway school district did not violate the First Amendment rights of a high school calculus teacher when it ordered him to remove classroom banners that referred to God.
The unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals came in the case of Bradley Johnson, a teacher at Westview High School in Rancho Peñasquitos. The appeals court reversed a 2010 decision by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez, who concluded that the school district had infringed on Johnson's rights and ordered the district to allow him to put the banners back up in his classroom.
Johnson had for many years displayed large banners — about 7 feet wide and 2 feet high — with various phrases on them.
One, with all the words in uppercase, reads: "In God We Trust," "One Nation Under God," "God Bless America" and "God Sheds his Grace On Thee." Another says: "All Men Are Created Equal, They Are Endowed By Their Creator," with the last word all written in uppercase.
The appeals court relied on previous U.S. Supreme Court cases that said governments can limit the free speech rights of public employees in the workplace. Appeals court Judge Richard C. Tallman wrote the school district was within its rights to order Johnson to remove the banners.
"Just as the Constitution would not protect Johnson were he to decide that he no longer wished to teach math at all, preferring to discuss Shakespeare rather than Newton, it does not permit him to speak as freely at work in his role as a teacher about his views on God, our Nation's history, or God's role in our Nation's history as he might on a sidewalk, in a park, at his dinner table, or in countless other locations," Tallman wrote.
Johnson's lawyer promised to appeal and criticized the court for a ruling that he said would allow a school district to restrict teacher speech only to points of view that the district found acceptable.
"Anyone who respects freedom of speech should be troubled by this," said Robert Muise, a lawyer with the Thomas More Law Center, a law firm that takes cases advocating for the religious freedom of Christians
Johnson and the school district have been battling in court since 2007, when he was told that the banners had to be removed. After Benitez's ruling last year, he put them back up.
"They're still up," Johnson said Tuesday, after the school day ended. "I haven't been told to take them down yet."
Although Johnson and his lawyer said they would appeal, the president of the Poway school board, Penny Ranftle, said in a statement the district is "hoping to move forward without further calls on our limited resources in defending this lawsuit."
Johnson has been a teacher for three decades and began teaching at Westview in 2003. He is also a faculty sponsor of a Christian club at the school, the court said. He has displayed the banners since 1982 in his classrooms, and said they were patriotic messages with no religious purposes.
The district said that they communicate a Judeo-Christian viewpoint that is at odds with the nonreligious educational mission of public schools.
Jack Sleeth, the district's lawyer, said Tuesday that Johnson could display banners with the same patriotic messages — such as one extolling the Bill of Rights, for example — without being as focused on religion as the current banners are.
Johnson was never disciplined for displaying the messages but was told they had to be removed, Sleeth said.
"This is a situation where we had good people with different opinions on this issue who took this dispute to court," Sleeth said.
As part of his defense, Johnson noted that other classrooms display religious-themed messages. One room has Tibetan prayer flags, and another has a poster of Mahatma Ghandi, the late political leader of India who advocated for nonviolence.
But the court said the messages for those items were different. The Tibetan flags, for example, are in a science teacher's room and are used when teaching about Mount Everest and the fossils there. That showed they are intended to "stimulate scientific interest, not religious pressure," the court said.
The case drew the attention of several advocacy groups, including the San Diego chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, which sided with Johnson but on different grounds. David Blair-Loy, the ACLU's legal director, said the school district was correct to tell Johnson to remove the banners because they violated the constitutional ban on government endorsement of religion.
But, he said, allowing the Tibetan prayer flags to be displayed was unfair and meant the district was preferring one religious display over another. He said the court should uphold Benitez's ruling but on the grounds that Johnson was being treated differently than others.
Blair-Loy said Tuesday that the appeals court ruling goes too far and could be used to infringe on the academic freedom of high school teachers to say things that do not adhere to district-approved curriculum. In the ruling, the judges said academic free speech exceptions don't apply to high school or elementary school teachers.
"If a teacher deviates in any way, shape or form from the exact letter of the school curriculum, they have no free speech protections," he said. "That's the danger I see potentially coming from that part of this opinion."

Mr. Ottis and his associates were ignored and not allowed to participate in the shooting of the video; however, they had to improvise with their talent to cover for the inadequacies of SRP's casting director not having enough persons to wear the costumes required at the show taping.
One of Mr. Ottis associates was an 85 year old lady whose grandson was there with Mr. Ottis at the taping. The grandson is a graduate of L.A. Film School with honors. This lady was treated very badly by SRP which was followed up by a written complaint by her family. SRP's treatment of her was indignant.
Mr. Ottis was also isolated from all post production work and had no contact with the owners of SRP who refused to inform Mr. Ottis where they were editing the video to its final cut. His not being allowed to participate in the taping and post productions was a violation of the agreement with SRP. Mr. Ottis has created and produced media for radio, television, live shows and commercials for 37 years. He was the executive producer on this taping and post production by agreement. It was his show and his money, but, he was ignored and isolated from his own project by SRP.
Mr. Ottis and his associate traveled to Burbank, California and stayed at a hotel for three days to participate in the post production as agreed between he and SRP but, again he was isolated from the editing and ignored by SRP. SRP dropped poor quality DVDs at the hotel desk and ran off. Mr. Ottis counsel Mr. Curzon, Esq. directed Mr. Ottis not to pay the last payment of $23,000.00 (plus) and to get what he could and come back to Omaha.
With all of the evidence against SRP and the fact that Mr. Ottis was taken for $43,000.00 (plus) on a video that was poor quality, that can't be used, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Jay Rakow, Esq. ruled in favor of SRP. Mr. Ottis proceeded with complaints against the AAA in Fresno and New York. They were of no help and inconsiderate. SRP was recommended by TVSCO out of Florida. TVSCO promised to take the finished video to France and get Mr. Ottis new show distributed in Canada, Western Europe, and the US. It was suggested by TVSCO as multi- million dollar opportunity, that turned out to be a $43,000.00 loss and SCAM !!
So our warning to GOOD business men and women across the country rethink business with TVSCO and SRP. And if your contracts state that the AAA will handle any disputes you may have in your business dealings, DON'T accept the contract until the AAA is removed!!!! Something smelled in this entire event and AAA was the final straw that ruled in favor of a SCAM against Globie and Mr. Ottis.

Thousands of Dallas' domestic violence victims aren't getting the help they need
When Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings held a men's rally against domestic violence in 2013, he gained national attention for inspiring men to take responsibility for what had been traditionally seen as a women's issue. But the mayor wasn't satisfied with awareness efforts alone. He wanted hard numbers.

Affluent Lifestyle Guide
Residents of Scottsdale's Silverleaf community are probably going to be pretty pleased to learn that the massive unfinished mansion on Lot 1882 has finally found a new owner. The compound-like estate has sat untouched since 2011, when construction ceased due to a lawsuit against the former owner, and now that MSL Holdings has acquired it for the crazy low price of just $5 million, it can finally reach the finishing line.
A new $2 billion Ritz-Carlton community in Paradise Valley was just approved by the town council and though it won't even break ground until the spring, we already can't wait to see what the brand does with the 122-acre plot of land. According to AZ Big Media, the plan includes a 352,000-square-foot hotel with 200 rooms, retail opportunities, 94 villas up to 3,000 square feet and 45 single-family homes that will be up to 6,000 square feet.
If you're in the market for a unique property you may want to take a look at this $2.24 million Scottsdale home from Berkshire Hathaway. The estate, located at 11541 E. Salero Drive, was designed by architect Lee Hutchison and features glass walls, minimalist architecture and a stream running through its center.
At the end of October, the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain announced the completion of their newly renovated Camelback and Mountain guestrooms. The new suites have been given a luxurious upgrade to include more modern décor and custom-crafted wood furniture.
This November, Scottsdale-based developer Catclar Investments will break ground on the new Soho Scottsdale building. The property will share both residential and office space for those who love to work from home (or a few floors down), and will offer Arizonans a new way to work and play.
Arizona's high desert has a unique magic and mystique all its own, and when it comes to the Four Seasons Scottsdale at Troon North, guests can also expect the unexpected—starting with its Sonoran Desert locale. For one, lush and desert aren't normally two words one would associate together, but in the high Sonoran Desert you'll find iconic saguaro cacti standing tall amid bright desert marigolds, delicate summer poppies and vibrant green velvet mesquite all strewn about the rocky mountainous landscape.
The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess has just about anything you could need for a great getaway, including activities for the kids like watermelon eating contests, zipline adventures and catch-and-release fishing derbies. For adults, they offer winery dinners, relaxing cabana rentals and a golf course. The expansive southwestern oasis sprawls across 65 acres in the Sonoran Desert overlooking the McDowell Mountains.
Bentley Scottsdale is holding their fifth annual Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower on October 24, at WestWorld of Scottsdale's Polo Field. Sports fans may want to mark their calendars as this is one of the biggest polo events in America.
If you're looking for a little downtown San Diego action this weekend, the Gaslamp district's newest nightlife venue will be opening its doors Saturday. Cake Nightclub has already made a name for itself in Scottsdale and Los Angeles, and now it's ready to take over San Diego with its "French chateau meets Alice in Wonderland" style.
Anyone who's been to a Mastro's Steakhouse knows that they deliver some of the best beef in town. We recently visited their Scottsdale location and were delighted to hear live music and see couples dancing in the piano bar lounge, a great sign of what's to come.
In New York City a $24.5 million home might not get you much square footage, but in Scottsdale, it'll buy you one of the most palatial mansions in the city. Currently on the market is this 20,805-square-foot Silverleaf estate which features some of the luxurious amenities (and stunning views) available in the area.
Scottsdale, Arizona is a golf lover's paradise; but if you are traveling with your family, that can often be a challenge. Parents want to play a round of golf while the kids want to spend the entire day in the pool or participating in some fun activities. The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa knows just what parents and kids need to make everyone happy.
Everyone has a very specific idea of what they are looking for in a dream home, but this Paradise Valley mansion, might just check all those must-haves off the list. Personal golf course? Yep. Chef's kitchen? Definitely. Guest house for family gatherings? Of course.
Scottsdale's Omni Resort & Spa in Montelucia is pretty excited about their new 4,000-square-foot Chef's Kitchen and Herb Garden. Which makes sense, since it will enable Executive Chef Michael Cairns and Chef de Cuisine Tom Vykulil to offer guests the freshest of produce. Not only will the garden provide ingredients for the entire resort, including their flagship restaurant Prado, the new kitchen space will also be home to various epicurean events
While you may not immediately associate Arizona with good wine, the high desert actually produces a climate similar to that of California's wine country, making it a great location for wineries. In the fall of 2014, Lawrence Dunham Vineyards opened their tasting room in downtown Scottsdale featuring wines from their 40-acre vineyard in the Chiricahua Foothills of Southeastern Arizona.

Hmm... I didn't make any changes along this line. So if update returns *matches* instead of *updates* then I think this is it's own bug. I'd be happy to role it into my bug and work on the changes there though, but maybe that's not the right thing to do?

I don't believe update returning matches rather than changed rows is a bug, but rather an intentional choice. #10348 reported MySQL as being out of line from the other DBs in returning changed rows, and the fix for it was to set a flag to make it fall in line with the others. I'm a bit surprised the documentation isn't more explicit that the number returned is matched, not necessarily changed. I don't believe we can, at this point, simply change the value returned here to be the other choice...
comment:5 Changed 5 years ago by sergeykolosov
Then, at least, it should be reflected in documentation. Shall I reopen this ticket as a documentation bug?
comment:6 Changed 5 years ago by kmtracey
- Component changed from Database layer (models, ORM) to Documentation
- Resolution duplicate deleted
- Status changed from closed to reopened
- Triage Stage changed from Design decision needed to Accepted
Here's a django-dev thread where the return value from update() was discussed: http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/bea3c2a90e229f0f/
The update query return value is used internally by Django to decide if a model save(force_update=True) is successful: https://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.3.1/django/db/models/base.py#L527
"Successful" for save with force_update=True simply means the row existed in the DB prior to the call, not that any data values were actually changed by the save(). Changing update to return the actually changed row count would cause a problem for this code. If the row existed but was not changed by the update() call then this code would start raising an exception where previously it did not.
Therefore I think the right fix here is to the docs, to make it clear that the return value is matched rows, not changed. (Current doc uses the word "affected" which I consider ambiguous, it's not saying one way or the other whether it means potentially affected or actually affected.)

He's Detroit's 'Hot Wing' by Buffalo Wild Wings!
Be Ready to Compete - Both teams traveled last night. Short turn around after last night's games. The team who can get out of the gate the fastest has the best chance to seize control of the game.
Stay Out of the Penalty Box - Washington has the best pp in the league clicking at 25%. Alex Ovechkin has 24 pp goals himself. The entire team has 58. So Ovechkin has 41% of the teams pp tallies. Stay clean.
Mrazek Must Be Sharp - Howard did his job last night now it's Mrazek's turn. Back to back games haven't been good lately. Solid goalkeeping can change that.

Christopher Booker is a scholar who wrote that every story falls into one of seven basic plot structures: Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, the Quest, Voyage and Return, Comedy, Tragedy, and Rebirth. Shmoop explores which of these structures fits this story like Cinderella's slipper.
Plot Type : Tragedy
Anticipation Stage
Mrs. Alving readies everything for the dedication of the Orphanage.
Once this ceremony is over, Mrs. Alving believes that her late husband will be finally, truly dead. She'll banish her ghosts and moves into the future with only her son as partner.
Dream Stage
Mrs. Alving confesses the truth – and her plan – to Pastor Manders.
Mrs. Alving enjoys the satisfaction of letting Pastor Manders know he's full of it. She has suffered and this memorial is going to put the ghost of her dead husband to bed for good.
Frustration Stage
Oswald goes after Regina. Mrs. Alving discovers her son is seriously ill. The Orphanage burns down.
Suddenly Mrs. Alving's desired path takes a number of left turns. She must dispel the attraction between Oswald and Regina by telling the truth about her husband.
Nightmare Stage
Oswald explains "the dread."
With Regina gone, Oswald requests that his mother be ready to kill him if he has an attack and is left in a vegetative state. Mrs. Alving sees this as an unimaginable act, and yet she agrees to it, believing that it won't happen.
Destruction Stage
Oswald loses his mental faculties.
Mrs. Alving faces an impossible decision: kill her son, or keep him as a living ghost.

I brought this to the attention of the manager of my branch by showing her print screens of my on line statements. One item was originally posted on 12/1 was removed, a deposit delayed, which put my account in an overrun. The charge was added back in with an overdraft fee on 12/8.
When a friend demanded an explanation after the same thing happening to her, they showed that during 2009 they changed their terms and conditions, which now vaguely read that they can essentially charge whatever they want. These were not given to us.
In addition, the bank had a major glitch in their computer system this summer and the Asst. Manager explained that they have a new system. This coincides with when we started noticing these fraudalent charges and reshuffling of our items. This means they deliberately programmed their accounts to delays deposits and reshuffle items in order to charge the excessive overdraft fees.
This must stop!!! Due to this, every one I know that has an acct. with them is closing and going to credit union.

Manny Pacquiao-Brandon Rios Picked Up By BoxNation
LONDON - Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao's return to the ring against the unyielding Brandon Rios on November 23rd will be brought to UK fight fans live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky Ch.437/Virgin Ch.546).
The eagerly anticipated matchup which sees Pacquiao make his first return to the ring since his devastating knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez will pit him against one of boxing's most relentless warriors in the shape of Rios, in a bout certain to produce fireworks.
The 12-round welterweight rumble, taking place at The Venetian's CotaiArena in Macao, China represents a sink or swim matchup for both men who go into the fight with everything on the line as they look to bounce back in spectacular fashion following their recent defeats.
Despite his status as a global boxing icon and being regarded as the 'Fighter of the Decade', Pacquiao, will not have it all his own way when he steps in against a former world champion in Rios, famed for his never-say-die attitude and outspoken nature.
The clash will also see the WBO international welterweight title up for grabs, in the biggest fight in the world that weekend.
"Brandon Rios is the biggest test out there for me and I will be ready to meet the challenge," said Pacquiao. "I have heard what Brandon has been saying. If he fights as well as he boasts it will be a great fight for us and the fans."
"Out with the old, in with the new . . . and I'm the new! Manny, this is my time," said Rios.
Jim McMunn, General Manager of BoxNation, said: "We are delighted to continue bringing British fight fans the best possible matchups out there. Anyone who knows boxing knows that this fight is going to be an explosive all-action affair, with two of the most exciting boxers in the sport today. It is such an intriguing fight as we all want to see if Pacquiao can throw his name back into the pound-for-pound mix or if a new superstar will be born in Rios. BoxNation is committed to deliver the best bouts out there at great value to our customers and it's fantastic we have managed to secure yet another 'Fight of the Year' candidate in the form of Pacquiao-Rios."

Schools across the United States are dealing with the question of what to do about displays of the Confederate flag on campus. Last week around two dozen students in Christiansburg, Virginia were suspended and this week a school in Michigan requested that students leave the flag at home. Unfortunately, we are hearing little to nothing about whether schools are taking the opportunity to educate their students about this controversy. This is a unique opportunity for history/social studies departments to step in and try to help their students make sense of the long and complicated history of the Confederate flag. There are likely a number of reasons why this does not appear to be taking place. With that in mind I offer one possible approach to dealing with this issue in the classroom. Please pass this on to teachers and other educators who might be in need of some guidance. I am now scheduling talks and workshops with schools and individual classes. You can find more information about how I can help here.
On July 10, 2015 the Confederate battle flag was removed from the grounds of the state capital of South Carolina in Columbia, where it had flown since 1962, following the murder of nine members of the AME Emmanuel Church in Charleston. The decision to lower the flag and the national debate that ensued concerning the display of the Confederate flag in public places was fueled by the alleged shooter's written testimony that he hoped his actions would inspire a race war as well as the release of photographs of the individual with Confederate flags.

Germany provided both Champions League finalists last year as Bayern Munich defeated rivals Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.
Freund thinks they have raised the bar for English football and that the most recent arrivals of Andre Schurrle and Lewis Holtby are a blessing to the Premier League.
"It does the Premier League a world of good to have so many good German players here," said Freund.
"The successes of the German clubs in the Champions League increases the pressure on the top teams in England once again.
"It's going to be interesting to see what's possible for Arsenal and for us."
The two London sides fit in behind the big three, who Freund believes may have some teething problems with new set-ups this season.
Jose Mourinho is back in the Chelsea hot-seat, David Moyes fills Sir Alex Ferguson's boots at Manchester United and Manuel Pellegrini is tasked with taking Manchester City onto the next level in Europe while challenging for domestic honours.
"It's going to be an incredibly exciting season in England because the top three - United, City and Chelsea - have all got completely new management," said Freund to Germany's Sky Sport television.

Medicare Part D Plans Prescription Drug Insurance for Seniors on Medicare
Learn About Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage
- Why Buy a Medicare Part D Plan?
- Who Is Eligible?
- When Can I Enroll?
- How Do I Get Enrolled?
- Where Do I Get Enrolled?
- Are Prescription Drug Discounts Available?
Medicare Does Not Cover Prescriptions
Medicare pays about 80% of your hospital and doctor expenses, but they don't pay for any part of your prescriptions, unless you are hospitalized. That's why Medicare added Part D. A Medicare Part D plan is cheap coverage for prescriptions. It's not required, but it's foolish not to have it.
Who Is Eligible?
You are eligible for prescription drug coverage under Medicare Part D as soon as you are entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B. You can get drug benefits through two types of private plans: a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) that provides drug coverage only or a Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage (MA-PD), also known as Medicare Part C. About 66% of all Part D beneficiaries use the PDP-only option.
When Can I Enroll?
The open enrollment period, also known as the Medicare Annual Election Period, starts on 15 October and ends 7 December. If you are becoming eligible for Medicare because you are turning 65, you have an Individual Election Period (IEP) that starts three months before your birth month and ends two months after your birth month, giving you plenty of time to get signed up. If you are Medicare eligible due to a disability, you have a similar IEP starting on your 24th month of SSI.
How Do I Get Enrolled?
You must affirmatively enroll in a Part D plan to participate; It's not automatic. If you are eligible for Medicare and don't enroll during the open enrollment period (or your individual enrollment period if you are just turning 65) you will have to pay a late-enrollment penalty (LEP) to use the benefit. The penalty is about 1% the average premium times the number of months that that you were eligible but not enrolled.
Where Do I Enroll?
You enroll in Part D plan through an authorized Medicare insurance agent, through the plan itself, or through Medicare.gov. If you would like an independent agent recommendation, enter your zip code below to see a list of agents in your area.
Are Prescription Drug Discounts Available
All Part D plans are different. Each insurance carrier covers drugs differently. This is why it is so important to verify the cost and coverage of your prescriptions before you choose a plan. If you do not have regular prescriptions, then the lowest cost plan is generally safe. You can always switch at the next open enrollment.
All prescription drugs are not covered at the same level. There are five standardized tiers in each drug formulary, giving participants incentives to choose generics over brand name drugs. The lower-cost medications are assigned to lower tiers making plans easier to compare.
Be aware that a Medicare Part D Plan does not cover everything, and it's only good for up to $2,960 of initial benefits (2015 initial coverage limit). After that, you pay out of pocket until you become eligible for catastrophic coverage. That's why we highly recommend GoodRx for People on Medicare. They have the most innovative prescription discount program we've seen for seniors.

The Environmental Kuznets Curve semi-parametrically revisited
This paper re-examines the existence of an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) across countries using a semi-parametric regression estimator, which places no restrictions on the functional form. Our results using cross-country panel data on Sulfur and Carbon Dioxide strongly suggest that the relationship between wealth and environmental degradation is not bell-shaped, as suggested by an EKC. Rather that there is a positive link for the very poorest countries and no clear relationshipfor richer countries.
