Many on Wall Street expected Schrempp to use his new-found liquidity to make an acquisition.
It is worth noting that Schrempp always saw auto manufacturing as a global business. In addition to establishing an important beachhead in the U.S., he wanted to do the same in Japan. Shortly before the Chrysler merger he concluded a deal with Mitsubishi to acquire a significant minority stake in their stock. Schrempp must have realized that Chrysler's earlier cooperation with Mitsubishi would pave the way to a three-way auto colossus, led by Daimler Benz.
CHRYSLER'S GROWTH and SUCCESS in the 1990S
Merger was the furthest thing from peoples' minds at Chrysler in the 1990s. Based on the strong growth of market share in minivans and trucks, Chrysler had regained some of its market share losses and remained consistently profitable. Chrysler was particularly helped by changes in American taste: while all the Big Three were impacted in their automobile market share, all also benefitted from a change in tastes towards pick-up trucks and minivans. This move played to Chrysler's strengths and improved their balance sheets: import tariffs of 25% kept pick-up prices high, while net margins of 15% kept Chrysler plants humming (Economist, 1997). Chrysler continued to dominate the minivan market that it created in the U.S.
Chrysler was regarded as the technology leader amongst the Big 3. A special symbol of this leadership was their new, Auburn Hills Technology Center, which brought together 10,000 Chrysler employees to work together to design automobiles. Chrysler in 1996 enjoyed its best year ever, selling 3 million vehicles, a 50% increase over the previous decade. Its market share had risen from 13.4% in 1992 to 16.1% at the end of 1996 (AllPar, 2007). Pretax earnings of $6.1 billion were the best ever, and led the U.S. manufacturers with a 10% net profit margin. In 1996, Chrysler's $61 billion in sales was only 2/3rds those of Daimler-Benz, but it was more profitable than the larger company. Chrysler was named "1996 Company of the Year" by Forbes Magazine, and Bob Eaton (CEO) and Bob Lutz (Vice Chairman) voted among the top managers of the year.
Despite record high sales and profits, Chrysler faced storm clouds in the mid-1990s. Toyota, Nissan and the German companies began to develop products that could compete in the Big 3's truck and minivan franchise. Many began to produce U.S.-focused models in U.S. plants; even Daimler-Benz created an SUV in 1998 which they produced in a new, $600 million plant in Alabama. Toyota started a minivan, the Sienna, in its Kentucky plant. With no foreign sales to underpin its U.S. core products, Chrysler management was worried that it could fall under attack. This was in contrast to Ford and GM, which could rely on strong sales in Europe, Latin America and a (new effort) burgeoning China.
This competition did not yet make a dent on Chrysler's sales, but Bob Eaton recognized the need to broaden Chrysler's base from U.S.-only production and sales, and to diversify from their core minivan and pick-up truck business.
FIRST ERROR: FROM-the-TOP DECISIONS
Both Bob Eaton and Jurgen Schrempp made the decision to initiate discussions. Neither involved their top management teams, investors or the unions. It is difficult to know who made the first contact, but the industry believed that Eaton approached Schrempp. Regardless of who approached whom, both kept the negotiations close to their Office of the Chairman.
Both Schrempp and Eaton echoed the same sentiments: Schrempp said that both companies had skilled and dedicated workforces, and he saw their strengths as complementary. Eaton said that both companies had "world class products," and that there was a "perfect fit of two market leaders for future market growth (Fitzgibbon, 2002)."
The initial reaction within Chrysler and the U.S. was quite positive. On May 7th, 1998, Bob Eaton announced that Chrysler and Daimler were planning to merge. He appointed Tom Stallkamp, Chrysler's President, to head an integration committee. Stallkamp first used the "merger of equals" metaphor to describe the future Daimler Chrysler combination. Eaton and Stallkamp met with UAW officials and managers, and with employees during 'town hall' meetings in May, 1998. The Town Hall structure had emerged from Chrysler's brush with bankruptcy in the 1980s, and was a hallowed tradition with Chrysler line workers and managers.
Tellingly, Schrempp spoke with the press but left it to his underlings to talk to the divisions. Daimler-Benz had entrusted its Mercedes car division to a widely-respected "car man," Helmut Werner. Werner resisted the divisional structure that Schrempp proposed on entering the company. After months of strife, Werner retired from the company in January, 1997. As a result, Schrempp, who was never a "car person," was left with an alienated car group (Schmid, 1997) and a disaffected management team.
Members of both the Daimler and Chrysler management teams were left to wonder what Schrempp's and Daimler's intentions were. Daimler's PR office in Stuttgart remained quiet, claiming that the 'quiet period' before the merger meant that they could not communicate much about the merger. In the meantime, the Chrysler group worked with its stakeholders to insure that they were comfortable with the coming transition. From May 7 to December of that year, there were few communications outside of the two companies, and communications within Daimler remained limited.
Three events took place during this period which caused some concern amongst the U.S. participants in the DCX case: (1) there was a scandal which revealed that Daimler-Benz used slave labor during World War II, (2) it was revealed that Tom Eaton in particular would receive a significant bonus for concluding the transaction -- perhaps as much as $100 million, and (3) Schrempp was able to merge his old aerospace division with France's Matra. In retrospect, the last element, which was completed in late November, probably took more of Schrempp's time than the DCX merger (Fitzgibbon, 2002).
At the same time, the employees of Daimler were left in the dark. Initiated by Schrempp's predecessor, Daimler-Benz moved its headquarters from the site of its engine manufacturing plant in the Neckar River valley to the heights of a suburb of Stuttgart, Mhringen. The move signified a good deal to Mercedes' employees. They knew that Daimler-Benz made all of its profits in automobiles, and that all other divisions were money-losers. By moving headquarters away from the traditional engineering center, DB demonstrated that it regarded car manufacturing as one more division in a multi-divisional company. By letting go of their strongest ally, Werner, the employees felt particularly abandoned.
One can therefore "score" the early outcome of the merger announcement as fairly positive in the U.S., but fairly negative in Germany. Chrysler had worked hard since the 1980's to develop an atmosphere of trust with its stakeholders. A key concern for the workers and managers was that Chrysler would be subsumed in a larger Daimler organization. Stallkamp assured workers during Town Hall meetings that each company would retain its personality and culture, and that there would be no single "world headquarters." Rather, the Chairmen of each respective company had planned to keep the headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan and Stuttgart, and each company would retain its own Chairman and management team. Eaton and Schrempp would fly back and forth between the two headquarters, and top management would be gradually mixed. This impression was reinforced in Chrysler's annual Shareholder's Meeting of August, 1998, when Stallkamp announced that Chrysler shareholders would have "an opportunity to participate in a leading global automotive company (Executive Committee, 1998)."
The merger ultimately took place after the necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals were made. Daimler and Chrysler announced the merger as DaimlerChrysler (DCX) in January, 1999. Tellingly, Bob Eaton announced that he would be leaving in the following six months. Tom Stallkamp was left to manage the U.S. part of DaimlerChrysler.
Bob Eaton was a car man through-and-through. He was hand-picked by Lee Iacocca to succeed him, and Eaton demonstrated his ability to continue the politics of open dialogue, breaking down silos and assuring investors that they were one the right path. While Eaton's strategic evaluations may have been correct -- particularly when viewed in terms of the global strategic imperatives in the auto industry -- his implementation vision was faulty. Perhaps knowing that he was leaving Chrysler shortly after the merger, Eaton felt that he could leave the merger details in the hands of his competent management team.
What Eaton did not count on, nor did his top managers, were the extreme differences with culture in Europe. Chrysler was a profoundly U.S. company, and its employees justifiably regarded themselves as successful. While they were open to the merger, they did not want to see their culture go away.
Eaton would have been better…[continue]

WHO supports overwhelmed primary health care centre in Mosul with lifesaving medicines and medical supplies
4 December 2016 – WHO has successfully delivered life-saving medicines and medical supplies inside Mosul city. The shipment, enough to treat almost 13 000 patients, includes chronic disease medicines, antibiotics, medicines and supplies to treat trauma injuries. Reproductive health items were provided by the United Nations Population Fund. As displacement from Mosul continues to take place, the health needs of hundreds of thousands of people will significantly increase, overburdening an already overstretched health system, and leaving many men, women and children at risk.

"Hidden Beauty of New Jersey" Top 5 Page for this destination United States of America Things to Do Tip by deecat
United States of America Things to Do: 953 reviews and 1,331 photos
Many people make fun of New Jersey, especially the people from New York. I have to disagree with them. I only visited New Jersey one time for a week and stayed with a friend, but I found the state to be quite lovely.
Most people do not know that New Jersey is a peninsula, bounded on the west by the Delaware River and on the east by the Hudson River & the Atlantic Ocean.
Those people who laugh at New Jersey no doubt have not seen the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge with its great boardwalks, abundant wildlife, and numerous wild flowers.
They've not seen the Kittatinny Mountains (part of the Appalachian chain. This area gives sweeping vistas in all directions.
And, have they been to the Pine Barrens, a million acres of pine & oak forests, cranberry bogs, sand roads, white cedar swamps, and the cleanest water "on earth" due to the Cohansey aquifer? Here's where the Pine Barrens tree frogs live.
How about the migration of birds each spring to Cape May Point? Cape May has ocean, bay shores, freshwater creeks, forest, and saltwater meadows. No wonder the birds love it.
New Jersey also has 127-miles of shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean, and who could forget the boardwalks of Atlantic City.
Also at Island Beach State Park, the diamondback terrapins come ashore to lay their eggs in the sands above the water line.
So, for those doubters who have heard that New Jersey is "not worthy", I say, "go jump in a lake!"
I prefer to visit Branch Brook Park in Neward, Morristown National Historical Park in Morristown, Princeton University, Great Falls of Paterson, Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge, and Wharton State Forest in the grand state called New Jersey

The Staunton Island City Hall is a building located between Torrington and Newport next to the Callahan Bridge on Staunton Island, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The city hall is made up of the municipal building which is a large, ornate structure, possibly drawing influences from the real-life Federal Hall in New York City. As mentioned above, the city hall is only one section and not a neighborhood, but still is a very important place in Staunton Island.
In the official website of GTA III is mentioned as the City Hall of the city, while in GTA: Liberty City Stories is called the "Liberty City Museum" during the mission See the Sight Before Your Flight (sight 8) and in GTA III taxi missions it is also called "museum".
The City Hall is most likely based off the Brooklyn Borough Hall because it seems more than that of the New York City Hall, but also shows little similarities to the Federal Hall National Memorial.

SWFs abandon external managers
Asset managers hoping for business from sovereign wealth funds could be left wanting as institutions shift their focus to internal teams, according to delegates at a Financial News sovereign wealth funds conference last week.
Before the financial world went into meltdown, asset managers had relished the prospect of tapping these funds for lucrative investment contracts, and were forming departments to target the business.
As recently as last September, Franklin Templeton Investments appointed a head of sovereign wealth funds to better focus on the sector, although other firms had started earlier. Goldman Sachs Asset Management's department celebrates its second anniversary this month.
However, Kevin Lu, director at the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, a part of the World Bank, said: "There has been a shift away from using external asset managers in preference of creating in-house teams.
"There will not be a dramatic, sudden shift, but the changeover is already happening, mainly for the plain vanilla investments where there is little scope for exercising skill, to reduce costs."
Lu said sovereign wealth funds had initially used external asset managers because they were immature and new to the sector. By buying in help, they hoped to copy the expertise and go on to build internal teams that could carry out the investment function at a lower cost.
Rod Matheson, assistant deputy manager for treasury and risk management at the C$16bn (€10bn) Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund, the only Canadian sovereign wealth fund, said it had reorganised and bolstered its investment structure two years ago, bringing many asset class investment professionals in-house.
Matheson said: "We have retained some external managers, mainly for alternative asset classes such as absolute returns, but by creating the Alberta Investment Management Corporation we have more flexibility on the markets we know well."
The fund was set up in 1976 to manage income brought in by Alberta's oil sales and has generated C$30bn for provincial causes. This in-house investment company takes its asset allocation orders from the provincial treasury and also invests on behalf of Alberta's pension scheme. The fund's five-year average return at the end of March last year was 11%, despite a 0.7% loss to the end of that year.
Matheson said unaudited figures for the nine months to the end of December showed a loss of 15%. Lu said other service providers were benefiting from this shift. Management, risk and investment consultants were all picking up business as sovereign wealth funds chose to go it alone.
Gordon Clark, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford, who is conducting a survey of institutional investors in partnership with consulting firm Watson Wyatt, said there was a movement across the board to bring in permanent skilled labour rather than hire managers for distinct mandates.
Lu said internal managers often produced better returns than non-affiliated groups, but there were reasons not to bypass them completely. Lu said: "By keeping one or two managers on, sovereign wealth funds have a benchmark to measure their internal teams against.
"They also can be used as insurance in case an in-house team is poached by an external fund manager, which has actually happened. A trusted third party can be brought in as a temporary measure to help out."
He added that some governments, such as Korea and Singapore, had encouraged their sovereign wealth funds to use external managers to help establish a permanent financial sector. Lu said: "It is not all about the money."

July 22, 1988
527 N.E.2d 76, 172 Ill. App. 3d 641, 122 Ill. Dec. 704 1988.IL.1136
Appeal from the Circuit Court of De Kalb County; the Hon. Rex F. Meilinger, Judge, presiding.
APPELLATE Judges:
JUSTICE NASH delivered the opinion of the court. INGLIS and DUNN, JJ., concur.
Following a bench trial, defendant, Philip Pennington, was convicted of aggravated battery and sentenced to 60 days' imprisonment, probation for a period of two years, and to undertake psychiatric counseling. The sole issues on appeal are whether the grounds of a privately owned dormitory are "on or about a public way" as defined in section 12-4(b)(8) of the Criminal Code of 1961 (Code) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 38, par. 12-4(b)(8)) and whether his sentence is excessive.
Cary Booth testified at trial that at approximately 4 p.m., on March 31, 1986, defendant attacked her. Booth, a college student, was walking on a sidewalk near the door of her dormitory when defendant, a stranger, began grabbing her buttocks and pulling her sweater, placing his hand on her left breast. Defendant attempted to push her to the ground, but Booth resisted by hitting him with her book bag and pushing him away. Defendant stated to Booth, "C'mon. You're gorgeous. I want you." Booth got away from the defendant and ran into the building. Booth testified that she observed defendant on a second occasion on April 7, 1986, near her classroom when he approached her holding a camera. Booth ran to telephone the police, and she heard the camera click.
Booth stated on cross-examination that the sidewalk of the dormitory where the attack occurred was privately owned and was also used by nonresidents. The dormitory had washrooms, a cafeteria, and a store which nonresidents also patronized, and the nonresidents could buy a ticket to present to the cafeteria for meals.
Susan Grant, a friend and also a student at the college, testified that on March 31, 1986, at about 4 p.m., she was inside the University Plaza dormitory walking through a corridor. Grant noticed the complainant approaching the building and a man walking behind her. The man, whom she identified in court as defendant, blocked about half of Booth's body and, although a glass revolving door partially obstructed her view, Grant observed defendant turn to Booth and Booth move to block or strike him with her backpack. Grant observed defendant raising his arm and noticed his profile and saw Booth walk quickly toward the building. The witness further testified that the University Plaza was situated between the university apartments and the campus and that university apartment residents would cut through the university plaza building in order to get to the campus.
Officer Dick Zenzen testified that Booth described defendant to him when she filed her complaint on March 31, 1986. Officer Zenzen filed a second report on April 7, 1986, when defendant took Booth's picture with a 35-millimeter camera outside a classroom, and the officer apprehended defendant later that day in the commons area. Zenzen transported defendant to the police station, advised him of his Miranda rights, and found a camera on his person. Defendant admitted grabbing Booth and indicated that he had done similar acts previously.
Officer Zenzen also testified that he ate meals at the University Plaza as a nonresident for approximately two years, attended club meetings in the building, attended a wedding reception, used the restrooms, and shopped in the store. Although he had friends living in the building, he was unaware of any rule that limited access to those visiting someone in the building. Zenzen also stated that parts of the building were locked and access was provided only to residents and their guests.
For the defense, Stuart Stern, the manager of the University Plaza dormitory, testified that the building was privately owned and access to it was limited to residents and guests, but it was not enforced. If people cut through the walkway or played on the lawn, he did not tell them to vacate the premises.
The trial court found that since the attack occurred in an area accessible to the public, the "public way" requirement of section 12 -- 4(b)(8) was met.
At the sentencing hearing, evidence was presented in aggravation that Booth could not return to school for a month due to the trauma related to the incident. Vita Pennington, defendant's mother, testified in mitigation that defendant was a serious classical music student who worked in a retail shop and intended to return to school after the trial. Jerard Conroy, a family friend for many years, testified that defendant did not have a tendency for violence and was respectful. Defendant's post-trial motion was denied and the sentence stayed pending appeal.
Defendant contends that the State failed to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of aggravated battery where the attack occurred on privately owned property designated for private use. Section 12-4(b)(8) of the Code provides:
"(b) A person who, in committing a battery, commits aggravated battery if he either:
(8) Is, or the person battered is, on or about a public way, public property or public place of accommodation or amusement . . .." (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 38, par. 12-4(b)(8).)
The complaint charged defendant with the commission of battery while on the sidewalk entrance to the University Plaza, on or about a public way.
Defendant correctly acknowledges that a public way need not be construed as a place owned by a public entity. (People v. Kamp (1985), 131 Ill. App. 3d 989, 993, 476 N.E.2d 768, 770-71.) In People v. Ward (1981), 95 Ill. App. 3d 283, 287-88, 419 N.E.2d 1240, 1244, this court considered section 12 -- 4(b)(8) of the Code:
"Obviously, our legislature was of the belief that a battery committed in an area open to the public, whether it be a public way, public property or public place of accommodation or amusement, constitutes a more serious threat to the community than a battery committed elsewhere. [Citation.] As we interpret the statutory language, the essential allegation for a charge under section 12 -- 4(b)(8) is that the battery occurred in a public area. Whether the property was actually publicly owned and, therefore, 'public property' rather than a privately owned 'public place of accommodation' is irrelevant; what is significant is that the alleged offense occurred in an area accessible to the public." (Ward, 95 Ill. App. 3d at 287-88, 419 N.E.2d at 1244.)
We conclude that the trial court did not err in determining that the sidewalk adjacent to the University Plaza was accessible to the public and a public way under the statute. Testimony disclosed that the path where the battery occurred was commonly used by other students who traveled between an apartment complex and the campus, since it was in direct line with the campus. While the dormitory manager testified that the path was limited to residents and their guests, he acknowledged that he allowed nonresidents to use the path and play on the lawn. Also, the fact that nonresidents used the cafeteria and store on the premises of the dormitory supports the determination that the sidewalk leading to the building was a public way; certainly defendant considered the area to be a public way as he used it as such.
Defendant argues that the statutory interpretation in Ward is not controlling because the Discussion was merely dicta. Nevertheless, we note that subsequent cases have followed Ward's interpretation and construed "on or about a public way" as meaning "an area accessible to the public." People v. Pugh (1987), 162 Ill. App. 3d 1030, 1034, 516 N.E.2d 396, 399 (parking lot adjacent to an apartment complex for residents and guests was a public way); People v. Williams (1987), 161 Ill. App. 3d 613, 619-20, 515 N.E.2d 266, 270-71 (parking lot used by apartment dwellers and restaurant patrons was a public way); People v. Lee (1987), 158 Ill. App. 3d 1032, 1036, 512 N.E.2d 92, 94 (parking lot of a convenience store is a public way); People v. Kamp (1985), 131 Ill. App. 3d 989, 993, 476 N.E.2d 768, 771, appeal denied (1985), 106 Ill. 2d 557 (a park is open to the public); see also People v. Pico (1987), 161 Ill. App. 3d 225, 231, 514 N.E.2d 224, 228 (a street is a public way).
Defendant also argues that the sidewalk adjacent to the dormitory was not a place where the public was "invited to come into and partake of whatever was being offered therein," citing People v. Murphy (1986), 145 Ill. App. 3d 813, 815, 496 N.E.2d 12, 14. In Murphy, the court held that a privately owned tavern was a "public place of accommodation or amusement"; its language referring to an invitation pertained only to the definition of a public place of accommodation or amusement and did not refer to a public way. The State was not required, in the present case, to show that defendant had been invited onto the walkway.
Defendant further argues that his sentence is excessive in view of his youth, lack of prior convictions, and his educational and work record. Defendant was convicted of a Class 3 felony, which is punishable by imprisonment for a term between two and five years. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 38, par. 1005-8-1(a)(6).) The sentence of 60 days' imprisonment, two years' probation, and counseling is well within the parameters of the sentencing statute. While he did not cause permanent physical harm to Booth, his conduct apparently caused her to miss school for approximately a month due to the trauma of the incident. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in imposing sentence. People v. Perruquet (1977), 68 Ill. 2d 149, 368 N.E.2d 882.
Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.

Cycling still not free of cheats, says Roulston
Relevant offers
Hayden Roulston has been dealing with a painful hand injury, but it's the sport he loves that is really hurting at the moment.
As cycling is forced to exorcise its drug-riddled past in the wake of the Lance Armstrong saga, Roulston has had time to reflect on the direction the sport is taking.
He believes the opportunity exists for pure, drug-free cycling to emerge but only if the right leadership is taken immediately and only when more of the sport's shady characters are exposed.
"Every single pro cyclist has known all along what it was like to win those big races back then.
"I guess it's more like reality now. [Armstrong's] done wrong and he definitely doped but all those guys are just as bad as each other. It frustrates me that some of those guys there are in the pro peloton now, think they are so perfect pointing the finger, are on million-dollar contracts, but how did they get to that point?
"If I was the big boss of cycling, I'd zero out everyone's contract, put it all in a big bin and divide it up amongst every pro cyclist.
"From the start of 2013 you earn your money."
It hasn't been easy for Roulston to watch as Armstrong, his cycling hero and a former team-mate, has been so brutally brought to earth by the anti-doping investigation, his subsequent banning from the sport, and the stripping of his seven Tour de France titles by the International Cycling Union.
"There are still guys that have won races clean, don't get me wrong, but in those big tours, that was different. Now you see Evans and Wiggins coming through, they are pure riders, I think.
"I won a couple of years ago as well, so I can't say things are going to be easier but I do think it's going to make the peloton wake up and really take notice that this is serious s..t. It's going to take training and nutrition, all that sort of stuff that you might neglect, to another level."
Michele Ferrari, the controversial sports doctor behind Armstrong and other riders suspected of doping, remained at large and cycling could not move on until he was expunged from the peloton, Roulston said.
"If they don't bust this Ferrari investigation open and clean that out ... it's going to make Lance's scandal look like a pimple.
"There's guys in that investigation that go through every single pro team right now and that's the harsh reality of it.
"I'm not afraid to say it but a lot of riders probably will be."
Roulston is adamant he has never been pressured to take performance-enhancing drugs during his career.
"Never, ever have I had any pressure but it would have been very easy if I'd wanted to.
"If I chose to dope next year, and I only did it for one year and my contract went up to [€] 600,000, it would be nice and rosy for however long.
"Then if I got caught I could say the [2008] Olympics I did clean [but] everything you do up until you get caught is wiped, no-one will ever believe you."
While Roulston believes an entrenched attitude remains among European riders in the peloton, there was a doping stigma among riders from New Zealand, Australia, England and, ironically, the United States, that was another level of deterrent.
"There's never a way back, your family is tarnished - especially in New Zealand.
"There's so much more you can lose other than a couple of races you test positive in."
Roulston has been recovering from a hand injury he suffered during a crash in the Tour of Beijing. It had put him in doubt for the Tour of Southland beginning on Sunday but he will now take his place in a strong Calder Stewart team.
He will rejoin the Radioshack Nissan Trek team next season after signing another one-year deal and is hoping to build on a season he rates as solid but not spectacular.
"It might not look good on paper but actually it was my most consistent season.
"I was always there or thereabouts. I never quite fired exactly as I wanted to but it gave me a lot of belief for next year," he said.

LGBT curriculum battle heats up
The debate over Alameda Unified's plans to introduce lessons about sexual orientation and gender identity at the Island's elementary schools is intensifying. Members of an online group for the Island's gay community are urging support for the proposal, while someone claiming to represent a group of "concerned parents" has set up a website making their case in opposition of the plan.
The author or authors of the website, which was advertised in the Alameda Journal on Friday, say the district's proposed curriculum is not appropriate for elementary school students, and that they think that its lessons should be taught at home, not school. And they want to see other groups included.
From the site:
While the stated intent is to ensure that our schools are free from bullying and prejudice, the new curriculum is, in reality, an overt promotion for the homosexual lifestyle. It appears to be advocacy for homosexual causes that goes beyond the mission of providing safe schools.
I e-mailed the contact for the site, who said they started it because they think the district has been dismissive of some parents' concerns about the proposed curriculum. They did not offer their name and said their group does not have a spokesperson who could be named.
Here's what they said:
Concerned Parents has chosen not to have a spokesperson due to the unsafe school community environment that has resulted from the AUSD's promotional material for the proposed curriculum. Parents who have concerns are being labeled "close-minded or bigoted," but a spokesperson risks damage to career, home or life. Some of us have parents who have asked us not to make our names public to protect the safety and academic futures of their grandchildren.
They said the group started out at one school and has since spread to other schools, but did not identify the school and would not say how many parents were involved.
I also checked in with Leland Traiman, a gay father of two who is one of several people who have recently urged support of the plan on an e-mail network for the Island's gay residents. And he said that the issues raised on the site are, in fact, a smokescreen for hatred of gays. He dismissed opponents of the proposed curriculum as a very vocal minority of Alamedans.
"Anyone who has looked at this program and is not a bigot shouldn't have a problem," Traiman said.
He said the lessons are useful for everyone, including children from gay-headed families, children of heterosexual couples who are gay and children who could be tempted to bully without the lessons.
"They don't have to like other people. They just have to learn to live in peace," Traiman said.
The district started working on the curriculum, part of a broader anti-violence curriculum it presents in the first trimester of school, last year. Earlier this year, district staff presented the proposed lessons at two schools and did individual presentations at some elementary schools (though for what it's worth, they said they scheduled one at the school where we attend and I didn't receive any notification about it).
The school board is getting an update based on parent feedback on April 28, hold a public hearing on May 12 and make a decision on May 26.
As of Tuesday morning, the district received more than 200 e-mails on the proposal, with 108 supporting the lessons, 94 opposing them and 18 expressing concerns about the process, per school board president Mike McMahon's website.
His website, by the way, has the complete rundown on the process so far, plus links to the lesson plans and the text of all the e-mails the district has received. (The district has some of that information on its main page, too.)
McMahon had no comment on the brouhaha. Superintendent Kirsten Vital said she has seen the website and appreciates all the feedback the district is getting.
Per Vital:
We are in the process of revising the lessons based on the feedback. We just met with elementary principals and will begin grade level teacher focus groups soon. I believe that by the time we get to the BOE meeting we will have refined the great work that was done by the LGBT committee into lessons that are custom made for the Alameda schools.
As always, I'll keep you posted.

signed first edition
by DICKENS, Charles |
1861. first edition. First Edition of Great Expectations in the Original Cloth With an Autograph Letter Signed by the Dedicatee Tipped-in DICKENS, Charles. Great Expectations. In Three Volumes. Vol. I. [II. III.] London: Chapman and Hall, 1861.First edition in book form, mixed issue.Three octavo volumes (7 3/4 x 4 13/16 inches; 197 x 123 mm.). [i-iv], [1], 2-344; [ii], [1] 2-351 [1, imprint]; [ii], [1], 2-344, [1]-32, catalogue dated August 1861, pp. With all of the internal flaws for the first issue of volume I as called for by Smith, many of the internal flaws in volume II, and four of his first issue points in volume III. All three volumes with the first issue title-pages. Small stain on E1 (page 49) of volume II just affecting three letters.Publisher's moderate violet wavy-grain cloth, covers with blind-stamped borders enclosing a decorative rectangular panel stamped in blind, spines lettered in gilt, yellow-coated end-papers. Some light rubbing to extremities, minimal fading to spines, hinges professionally and almost invisibly restored, but the original cloth entirely untouched. Volume I very slightly skewed. Feint trace of Mudies Select Library ticket removal from top boards. Overall an exceptionally clean, fresh and bright copy of a title that is notoriously rare in unsophisticated presentable condition. With the armorial bookplate of Eugene Field on front paste-down of each volume. The front paste-down of volume I additionally has a clipped signature "Charles Dickens", clipped signature "Eugene Field/Chicago, June 26, 1893." and the rectangular blue leather bookplate of collector Dr. George Staehle (1925-2008). Each volume chemised in a half olive green morocco over green cloth board slipcase, spines with five raised bands, elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments.This copy belonged to author Eugene Field, and each volume has his bookplate on the front pastedown. Additionally, there is an ink note on the rear free endpaper of volume I by his son, Eugene Field, II: This is the first issue set of Great Expectations coming from the library of my father, Eugene Field. Nov. 1 - 1931 Eugene Field II (This statement by Field, II no longer reflects the current bibiographical scholarship on this title).Tipped-in to volume I is a two-page autograph letter signed by The Reverend Chauncy [Chauncey] Hare Townshend (1798-1868), clergyman and poet, to whom Dickens dedicated this book. The letter is dated Keswick. 16th April. 1932. and is addressed to a Mr. George Robins [?], concerning the sale of 'Baynard', Chauncy Hare Townshend's country house.Townshend and Dickens were close friends and Townshend even appointed Dickens his literary executor upon his death in 1868. In the 1830s Townshend studied mesmerism, and was the chief British exponent of the art after Dr. John Elliotson and published two books and some articles and letters on the subject. Elliotson introduced Townshend to Charles Dickens, who also had an interest in mesmerism, and the two became lifelong friends. Townshend's volume of poetry The Three Gates (1859) was dedicated to Dickens, who in turn dedicated Great Expectations (1861) to Townshend; Dickens gave Townshend the original manuscript of the novel, and also his crystal ball.Though the first edition of Great Expectations in book form went through five rapid issues, all copies of the first edition are excessively rare, as very few copies were printed at all, due to the saturation-level readership of the novel during its serialization in All the Year Round. Additionally, the circulating libraries immediately seized a large portion of the copies that were printed. One of only two Dickens novels never issued in monthly partsthe typical method since Pickwick Great Expectations is also one of only two of his novels whose first editions werent illustrated (in both cases, Hard Times is the other). Great Expectations first appeared in England in the pages of Dickenss popular magazine, All the Year Round, beginning on December 1, 1860 (though two American magazines, Harpers Weekly and the American All the Year Round began serializing it slightly earlier, technically jeopardizing Dickenss British copyright). Great Expectations originally appeared in thirty-six weekly numbers of All the Year Round from 1 December 1860 through 3 August 1861. It appeared in the three-volume book form on July 6, 1861 This first edition was followed by four other so-called editions (actually issues) on August 5, August 17, September 21, and October 30. These first five were probably printed at a single impression and published with altered title-pages to imply and encourage a rapid sale. (The words announcing the edition are printed between the volume number and the imprint.) In all five issues, the same misprints persist. The genuine second edition was the one-volume Library Edition with Chapman and Hall published in 1862 (Smith, pp. 103-104, note 3).The rarity of the first issue of Great Expectations has been attributed to the probable small binding-up of copies with the first titlepage, coupled with the fact (according to C.P. Johnson, Hints to Collectors, p. 33, and others later) that the first edition was almost entirely taken up by the libraries. Patten, pp. 290-92, states that 1,000 copies of the first issue and 750 of the second were printed and that probably most of the first and more than half of the second (1400) copies in all) were purchased by Mudies Select Library (Smith I, p. 104, note 5). Smith I, 14. Eckel, pp. 91-93. Gimbel A146. (Inventory #: 03957)

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. ROBERT
J. COLLINS, Judge, presiding.
This is an appeal from judgments entered in the Circuit Court of Cook County.
Defendants, Charles Dennis, Clyde Gunn and Donald Frisco, were indicted for the crimes of attempted escape and attempted murder. Defendant Clyde Gunn was also indicted for the crimes of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm and aggravated battery using a dangerous weapon. After a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County, the defendants were found guilty as charged. The trial court sentenced all defendants to terms of 15 to 20 years for attempted murder and seven to ten years for attempted escape. The terms are to run consecutively to each other and consecutively to any terms they are now serving. The trial court further sentenced Clyde Gunn to terms of eight to ten years for aggravated battery causing great bodily harm and one to five years for aggravated battery using a dangerous weapon. These terms are to run concurrently with the other sentences.
[The appeal of defendant Johnny Holmes, previously joined herein, was dismissed prior to presentation of oral arguments.]
The issues presented on appeal are whether the defendants were proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the offense of attempted murder, and whether defendant Clyde Gunn was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of aggravated battery as charged in the indictments.
On March 25, 1969, the defendants were incarcerated in the maximum security section of the Cook County Jail. At the trial, Charles Dunigan, who was then a sergeant in charge of the basement area of Cook County Jail, testified that on the date in question, Officer Charles Plakas was in charge of the maximum security section of the jail which is located in the basement area. Eight prisoners were in the section on that date, three of them were the defendants.
The maximum security section is separated from the rest of the basement area by a metal door. In this section there are three cells, Cells Nos. 1, 2, and 3, respectively. At approximately 3:00 P.M., on the date in question, defendants Charles Dennis and Donald Frisco, and two other inmates, were in Cell No. 3. Defendant Clyde Gunn was not present but was in the course of returning to the maximum security section after having been in court.
Sergeant Dunigan testified he proceeded with Officer Sellers to the maximum security section to transfer the inmates of Cell No. 3. After opening Cell No. 3, Officer Sellers attempted to escort one of the inmates to Cell No. 1. At this time Officer Sellers was attacked by the inmate and a sharp object was placed at his neck. The inmate threatened to kill Officer Sellers if Sergeant Dunigan moved. While this was occurring, another inmate and defendants Frisco and Dennis came out of Cell No. 3. Defendant Frisco had a sharp object in his hand, subsequently identified as a spoon handle sharpened to a point.
Sergeant Dunigan further testified that one of the inmates involved held a razor affixed to a toothbrush handle to his neck and told him he would kill him if he moved. Defendants Dennis and Frisco, as well as another inmate, then subdued Officer Sellers.
Defendants Dennis and Frisco removed the keys to Cell No. 2 from Sergeant Dunigan and released another inmate from the cell. The inmate whom they released was carrying a "zip gun." Sergeant Dunigan and Officer Sellers' uniforms were then removed by defendant Dennis and the two officers were handcuffed to Cell No. 3.
While this was occurring, Officers Hatcher and Pierson were then escorting defendant Clyde Gunn to the maximum security section of the jail. Both guards testified substantially the same as to the next events: Officer Hatcher was standing at the door to the maximum security section. One of the inmates swung a chain which struck him over the right eye. Defendant Gunn simultaneously attacked the officer with his fist, striking him in the mouth. Officer Hatcher further testified his lip was injured and he sustained injuries to the inside of his mouth.
Shortly thereafter, the Superintendent of Cook County Jail, Winston Moore, his assistant, Charles English, and a number of guards responded to a radio call that a guard was in need of help and they proceeded to the maximum security section. The superintendent testified to a struggle between himself, his assistant and the inmates in which the inmates were restrained. In addition, various items including a heavy metal chain, double-edged razor blades, a toothbrush handle with a razor affixed to one end, a spoon handle sharpened to a point and a block of wood with a metal tube affixed to it were recovered.
Subsequent to these events, the defendants were tried as charged before a jury, found guilty and sentenced. It is from these findings by the trial court that defendants herein appeal.
Defendants contend they were not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the offense of attempted murder. As a basis for their claim, defendants first contend the State did not prove all the elements of attempted murder.
• 1, 2 Two elements must be present to constitute an attempt: (1) intent to commit a specific offense, and (2) an act which is a substantial step toward the commission of that offense. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 38, par. 8-4.) As to the element of specific intent, the Supreme Court in People v. Koshiol (1970), 45 Ill.2d 573, stated:
"* * * the law is well settled that intent is a state of mind, and, if not admitted, can be shown by surrounding circumstances, and intent to take life may be inferred from the character of the assault, the use of a deadly weapon and other circumstances."
• 3 Based on the character of the assault and the threatened use of a deadly weapon on Sergeant Dunigan, we believe the requisite intent is present in the instant case.
• 4 The defendants also claim no substantial step to commit murder was shown by the State. They base their claim upon the fact that Sergeant Dunigan was not bruised, cut or injured in any manner so as to come within the elements of murder. In People v. Paluch (1966), 78 Ill. App.2d 356, the court, in discussing the element of attempt, stated:
"In order to constitute an attempt, it is not requisite that the act of the defendant is necessarily the last deed immediately preceding that which would render the substantive crime complete."
• 5 In the instant case the evidence is uncontroverted that a razor was put to Sergeant Dunigan's neck and his life was threatened. Based on this evidence, we believe the State has shown the defendants took a substantial step to commit murder.
A second contention presented by the defendants in claiming the State did not prove them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of attempted murder is the State failed to prove accountability and community of purpose among the defendants.
• 6 The record reflects the defendants took affirmative steps to arm themselves and participate in the events of the attempted escape. The record also reflects the defendants lent their countenance and approval to the crime. We see no reason to doubt the defendants all were attempting to escape. In light of this fact, any crime committed by one of their number in bringing about that escape was the act of all. The attempted murder of Sergeant Dunigan was in the course of the attempted escape, therefore all the defendants are accountable.
• 7, 8 The second issue presented for review is whether defendant Clyde Gunn was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of aggravated battery. Defendant Gunn bases his claim on three points. The first point is, the testimony of Officer Hatcher to the effect that defendant Gunn hit the officer in the mouth with his fist is not corroboated by any other witnesses. In People v. Harris (1971), 70 Ill. App.2d 173, the court stated:
"The testimony of one witness alone, if it is positive and the witness credible, is sufficient to convict, even though the testimony is contradicted by the accused."
Defendant Gunn's second contention is, he did not use a dangerous weapon, hence his conviction for aggravated battery using a dangerous weapon is groundless.
• 9 Evidence presented at the trial showed one of the other inmates struck Officer Hatcher with a metal chain. The evidence further shows that while the other inmate was striking Officer Hatcher, defendant Gunn was standing to the rear of the officer holding him, after which he struck the officer in the mouth with his fist.
Under Illinois law one is accountable for the criminal activities of another when:
"Either before or during the commission of an offense, and with intent to promote or facilitate such commission, he solicits, aids, abets, agrees or attempts to aid, such other person in the planning or commission of the offense." Ill. Rev. Stat., 1967, ch. 38, par. 5-2(c).
Although the defendant did not strike the blow in the instant case, by reason of the aforementioned statute he is accountable for the actions of the inmate who did strike Officer Hatcher with the chain. The defendant not only participated in the event by holding Officer Hatcher but added to the injury by his subsequent striking of the officer with his fist.
• 10 Defendant Gunn's third contention is, the State did not produce medical testimony as to the extent of Officer Hatcher's injuries. In People v. Pahl (1970), 124 Ill. App.2d 177, the court, in affirming a conviction for aggravated battery, said:
"While it would be helpful to have included a doctor's report or testimony in the record regarding the nature and extent of the injuries in question, such evidence is not required in all cases."
In view of the decision in People v. Pahl, supra, we find defendant Gunn's contention regarding medical testimony to be without merit. Moreover, we find defendant Gunn's entire claim that he was not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of aggravated battery as charged to be without merit. All the defendants were proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and we find no error in the record.
For the reasons stated herein, the judgments of the Circuit Court of Cook County are affirmed.
Judgments affirmed.

The World's Greatest Music
Email the show or Text 61812
Walt Disney's legendary creation Mickey Mouse made his debut in 'Plane Crazy' in May 1928. Mickey Mouse and classical music came together in a number of short, animated motion pictures. Watch five of the best here.
The Sorceror's Apprentice (1940)
Mickey Mouse's finest ever movie moment was his role as The Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia . Disney acquired the rights to the music in 1937 and planned to release a stand-alone short. However, at the suggestion of the conductor Leopold Stokowski , the idea eventually expanded into the full-length masterpiece.
The Band Concert (1935)
Mickey's first outing in colour tells the story of a ropey concert band struggling to get through a performance of the overture to William Tell by Rossini. There are some major distractions to contend with including a tornado, a scrap with a bumble bee, and Donald Duck's street vendor playing 'Turkey in the Straw' on top of it all.
Mickey's Grand Opera (1936)
The Mouse-tro returns to the podium again to conduct opera diva Clara Cluck and Donald Duck in a Romeo and Juliet-style duet, although the music is 'Bella figlia dell'amore' – the quartet from Verdi 's Rigoletto . Meanwhile backstage, Mickey's dog Pluto has crashed into a magician's props and chaos ensues.
The Opry House (1929)
Mickey takes to the stage as a vaudeville performer and finds himself competing for attention with a bolshie piano. Listen out for Rachmaninov's Prelude in C# minor, quotes from Bizet's Carmen played by a goat violinist, and the first appearance of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Franz Liszt in a cartoon, which was later to be reprised in numerous other cartoons.
The Orphan's Benefit (1934)
Mickey and friends put on a benefit show for a group of unruly orphans. It's the first time Mickey and Donald Duck appeared together on screen. Florence Gill voiced the 'Barnyard Nightingale' Madame Clara Cluck, who sings 'Chi mi frena in tal momento' from Donizetti 's Lucia di Lammermoor , accompanied by Mickey on piano.
