Togo is a small African nation wedged between Ghana and Benin. Togo is home to 58 People Groups, 7 of whom remain unreached according to the Joshua Project. Christianity has grown rapidly in recent decades but faces the combined threat of Islam and one of the largest percentages of practicing animists in all of Africa.
Christian Aid supports indigenous missionaries who work among the Muslim tribes spreading the Gospel.

LAUREL WARTLUFT, PLAINTIFF,v.FEATHER RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE, DEFENDANT.MICHELLE JAUREGUITO, PLAINTIFF,v.FEATHER RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE, DEFENDANT. PAUL THEIN, PLAINTIFF,v.FEATHER RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE, DEFENDANT.
This matter comes before the court upon defendant Feather River Community College's consolidated motion for summary judgment or, alternately, partial summary judgment with respect to the separate complaints filed by plaintiffs Thein, Jaureguito and Wartluft ("plaintiffs"). (T-ECF 62, J-ECF 75, W-ECF 49, respectively.*fn1 ) The court has decided this motion without oral argument. For the following reasons, defendant's motion is hereby granted in part and this case is remanded.
Thein, Jaureguito and Wartluft were employees of defendant. Thein's employment was terminated on June 30, 2006, when his employment contract expired and was not renewed; Jaureguito resigned on April 7, 2006; and Wartluft's employment was terminated on November 7, 2005. Plaintiffs each brought complaints before the Department of Fair Employment and Housing ("DFEH") and received right-to-sue notices. (Thein's First Am. Compl. ¶ 60, ECF 46; Jaureguito's First Am. Compl. ¶ 59, ECF 44; Wartluft's First Am. Compl. ¶ 61, ECF 29.) Plaintiffs subsequently filed complaints with the State Personnel Board ("SPB") alleging retaliation in violation of the California Whistleblower Protection Act, CAL. GOV'T CODE § 8547.3 and CAL. EDUC. CODE § 87160, et seq. Thein's complaint was submitted on June 19, 2006, Jaureguito's complaint was submitted on June 29, 2006, and Wartluft's complaint was submitted on June 20, 2006. (Thein's Req. for Jud. Not. Ex. 1, ECF 62-3; Jaureguito's Req. for Jud. Not. Ex. 1, ECF 75-3; Wartluft's Req. for Jud. Not. Ex. 1, ECF 49-3.)
The SPB issued its decision on October 19, 2010, finding that plaintiffs did not engage in protected activity under California Education Code § 87160 et seq., and that they were performing their job duties, not acting adversely to defendant. (Def.'s Statement of Undisputed Facts ("DSUF") ¶¶ T-31, J-19, W-22; Pls.' Opp'n Statement of Undisputed Facts ("PSUF") ¶¶ T-31, J-19, W-22.) Specifically, the SPB rejected the Administrative Law Judge's proposed decision finding retaliation on July 21, 2009.*fn2 (SPB Decision, Def.'s Req. Jud. Not. Ex. 3, TECF 62-3.) The SPB analyzed plaintiffs' claims using federal court precedent applying the Federal Whistleblower Act of 1989 and ultimately found that communications made in the course of employment are not protected. (Id.) Plaintiffs did not file requests for reconsideration with the SPB within thirty days of service of the decision, nor have they filed a petition for writ of mandate for review of the SPB's decision.*fn3 (DSUF ¶¶ T-32 & 33, J-20 & 21, W-23 & 24; PSUF ¶¶ T-32 & 33, J-20 & 21, W-23 & 24.)
Thein filed his complaint with this court on August 9, 2006. (T-ECF 1.) Defendant responded on September 18, 2006. (T-ECF 8.) Thein filed his amended complaint on November 26, 2008. (T-ECF 46.) Defendant filed its answer on December 12, 2008. (T-ECF 47.)
Jaureguito filed her complaint with this court on November 22, 2006. (J-ECF 1.) Defendant responded on January 8, 2007. (J-ECF 11.) Jaureguito filed an amended complaint on November 26, 2008. (J-ECF 44.) Defendant filed its answer on December 12, 2008. (J-ECF 45.) Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment on October 8, 2010. (J-ECF 67.) Jaureguito filed an opposition to Defendant's motion on October 21, 2010. (J-ECF 68.) Defendant filed its reply on October 29, 2010. (J-ECF 69.) The court vacated Defendant's motion on November 1, 2010. (J-ECF 72.)
Wartluft filed her complaint with this court on September 26, 2007. (W-ECF 2.) Defendant responded on November 13, 2007. (W-ECF 10.) Wartluft filed her amended complaint on November 26, 2008. (W-ECF 29.) Defendant filed its answer on December 12, 2008. (W-ECF 30.)
These cases were related on October 2, 2007. (T-ECF 23, J-ECF 19, W-ECF 7.)*fn4 In their amended complaints, Thein and Jaureguito allege three causes of action: 1) unlawful retaliation and discrimination in violation of Title IX; 2) retaliation in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA"); and 3) failure to prevent discrimination and harassment in violation of FEHA.
Wartluft alleges 1) and 2) above, as well as sexual orientation discrimination in violation of FEHA, gender discrimination in violation of FEHA, and failure to pay compensation at the time of discharge or termination of employment in violation of California Labor Code Sections 201 and 203.*fn5
Plaintiffs seek: 1) a judgment awarding them back pay, front pay, damages for emotional distress and compensatory damages; 2) an order reinstating their employment with Defendant; 3) attorneys' fees and costs; and 4) such other relief as the court deems appropriate. Wartluft also seeks a judgment awarding her all unpaid compensation together with prejudgment interest and waiting time penalties in the amount of thirty days' salary.
Defendant filed the present consolidated motion for summary judgment or, alternately, partial summary judgment, on January 21, 2011, contending that it is entitled to summary judgment because plaintiffs' Title IX and FEHA claims are precluded by the SPB's decision. Plaintiffs filed their oppositions on March 2, 2011. (T-ECF 66, J-ECF 79, W-ECF 53.) Defendant filed its reply on March 9, 2011. (T-ECF 67, J-ECF 80, W-ECF 54.)*fn6
A. Summary Judgment Standard
A court will grant summary judgment "if . . . there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." FED. R. CIV. P. 56(a). The "threshold inquiry" is whether "there are any genuine factual issues that properly can be resolved only by a finder of fact because they may reasonably be resolved in favor of either party." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 250 (1986).*fn7
The moving party bears the initial burden of showing the district court "that there is an absence of evidence to support the nonmoving party's case." Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 325 (1986). The burden then shifts to the nonmoving party, which "must establish that there is a genuine issue of material fact . . . ." Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 585 (1986). In carrying their burdens, both parties must "cit[e] to particular parts of materials in the record . . .; or show [] that the materials cited do not establish the absence or presence of a genuine dispute, or that an adverse party cannot produce admissible evidence to support the fact." FED. R. CIV. P. 56(c)(1); see also Matsushita, 475 U.S. at 586 ("[the nonmoving party] must do more than simply show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts"). Moreover, "the requirement is that there be no genuine issue of material fact . . . . Only disputes over facts that might affect the outcome of the suit under the governing law will properly preclude the entry of summary judgment." Anderson, 477 U.S. at 247-48 (emphasis in original).
In deciding a motion for summary judgment, the court draws all inferences and views all evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Matsushita, 475 U.S. at 587-88; Whitman v. Mineta, 541 F.3d 929, 931 (9th Cir. 2008). "Where the record taken as a whole could not lead a rational trier of fact to find for the non-moving party, there is no 'genuine issue for trial.'" Matsushita, 475 U.S. at 587 (quoting First National Bank of Arizona v. Cities Service Co., 391 U.S. 253, 289 (1968)).
B. Preclusive Effect of State Administrative Decisions
As an initial matter, the court must determine whether the SPB's decision can have general preclusive effect with respect to the present matter. The court finds that it can.
The Supreme Court has "long favored application of the common-law doctrines of collateral estoppel . . . and res judicata . . . to those determinations of administrative bodies that have attained finality." Astoria Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass'n v. Solimino, 501 U.S. 104, 108 (1991). "'When an administrative agency is acting in a judicial capacity and resolves disputed issues of fact properly before it which the parties have had an adequate opportunity to litigate, the courts have not hesitated to apply res judicata to enforce repose.'" Id. (quoting United States v. Utah Constr. & Mining Co., 384 U.S. 394, 422 (1966)). However, "[a]lthough administrative estoppel is favored as a matter of general policy, its suitability may vary according to the specific context of the rights at stake, the power of the agency, and the relative adequacy of agency procedures." Id. at 110. Significant for the present motion, "[t]he Ninth Circuit [gives] preclusive effect even to unreviewed administrative findings, whether made by state or municipal agencies." Clemes v. Del Norte County Unified Sch. Dist., 1995 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 14298, *11 (N.D. Cal. Sep. 19, 1995) (citing Miller, 39 F.3d at 1032-33).
Plaintiffs contend that an unreviewed state administrative decision does not have preclusive effect as to state whistleblower claims and that as a result the SPB decision can have no preclusive effect in this case. (See Pls.' Opp'n at 15-17.) Plaintiffs' contentions regarding the non-preclusive effect of unreviewed state administrative decisions on state whistleblower claims are irrelevant to the question before court regarding preclusion of FEHA and Title IX claims.
The SPB decision can have preclusive effect with respect to plaintiffs' FEHA claim. In Johnson v. City of Loma Linda, the California Supreme Court found that "when . . . a public employee pursues administrative civil service remedies, receives an adverse finding, and fails to have the finding set aside through judicial review procedures, the adverse finding is binding on discrimination claims under the FEHA." 24 Cal. 4th at 76; see also McDonald v. Antelope Valley Cmty. Coll. Dist., 45 Cal. 4th 88, 113 (2008).
The determination of the SPB decision's preclusive effect, if any, on plaintiffs' Title IX claim is more difficult. "Title IX does not disclose any specific congressional intent about how federal courts should treat unreviewed decisions by a state agency that pertain to a lawsuit under Title IX. [] In the absence of any specific legislative instruction, the federal common law of claim and issue preclusion will apply." Waid v. Merrill Area Pub. Sch., 91 F.3d 857, 864 (7th Cir. 1996), rev'd on other grounds, Fitzgerald v. Barnstable Sch. Comm., 555 U.S. 246 (2009); see also Solimino, 501 U.S. at 108. Title IX provides that "[e]ach federal department and agency which is empowered to extend Federal financial assistance to any education program or activity" is authorized to issues rules, regulations, and orders to effectuate the objectives of Title IX. 20 U.S.C. § 1682. Department or agency action taken in accordance with this provision is subject to such judicial review as may otherwise be provided by law for similar action taken by such department or agency on other grounds. In the case of action, not otherwise subject to judicial review, terminating or refusing to grant or to continue financial assistance . . . any person aggrieved . . . may obtain judicial review of such action . . . and such action shall not be deemed committed to unreviewable agency discretion . . . . 20 U.S.C. § 1683. Thus, no federal department or agency action taken in accordance with these regulations to determine whether to terminate or continue financial assistance precludes judicial review. However, "these agency decisions . . . will not necessarily address the questions about whether a particular individual has or has not been the subject of intentional discrimination." Waid, 91 F.3d at 864. The statute specifically states that the agency decisions it is discussing are those regarding funding. Thus, there is no language in Title IX directly on point. Rather, the Court's analysis in University of Tennessee v. Elliott, finding that unreviewed state administrative proceedings have preclusive effect with respect to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims, appears by analogy to also apply here. 478 U.S. 788, 796-99 (1986). Like 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and unlike Title VII, "'[nothing] in the language [of Title IX] . . . remotely expresses any congressional intent to contravene the common-law rules of preclusion . . . .'" Id. at 797 (quoting Allen v. McCurry, 449 U.S. 90, 97-98 (1980)).
Having found that the SPB's decision can have preclusive effect with respect to the present cases, the court turns to Defendant's specific contentions regarding the applicability of claim and issue preclusion in this case.
C. Res Judicata
i. Standard "In California, res judicata precludes a plaintiff from litigating a claim if: the claim relates to the same 'primary right' as a claim in a prior action, the prior judgment was final and on the merits, and the plaintiff was a party or in privity with a party in the prior action."
Trujillo v. County of Santa Clara, 775 F.2d 1359, 1366 (9th Cir. 1985) (also finding "that state principles of preclusion govern").
[The primary right theory] provides that a 'cause of action' is comprised of a primary right of the plaintiff, a corresponding 'primary duty' of the defendant, and a wrongful act by the defendant constituting a breach of that duty ... The most salient characteristic of a primary right is that it is indivisible: the violation of a single primary right gives rise to but a single cause of action ... A pleading that states the violation of one primary right in two causes of action contravenes the rule against 'splitting' a cause of action ... [] It is invoked most often when a plaintiff attempts to divide a primary right and enforce it in two suits.
Teran v. Hagopian, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 28682, *43 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 31, 2009) (quoting Grisham v. Phillip Morris U.S.A., Inc., 40 Cal. 4th 623, 641-42 (2007)).
ii. Application
Defendant contends that plaintiffs are barred by res judicata from proceeding with their Title IX and FEHA claims. Specifically, defendant maintains that "a plaintiff may not split a single cause of action or relitigate the same cause of action on a different legal theory or seek different relief." (Def.'s Mot. at 13.) Defendant contends that "[a] review of the whistleblower complaints, SPB decision, operative complaints herein and separate statement of facts establish that res judicata is applicable. The underlying facts allegedly supporting both the SPB action and the current matter are identical; involving the same parties, witnesses and evidence -- the only difference are the legal theories relied upon." [sic] (Id. at 15 (emphasis in original).) It asserts that the primary rights before both the SPB and this court are "the right to employment and right to be free of employment retaliation/discrimination."*fn8 (Id.)
Plaintiffs maintain that the doctrine of res judicata is inapplicable. Specifically, they contend that the SPB's dismissal of plaintiffs' complaints does not preclude a conclusion in favor of plaintiffs in the present case because the SPB did not consider whether plaintiffs engaged in protected activity under Title IX or FEHA. (Pls.' Opp'n at 14, 15.) Furthermore, plaintiffs contend that the whistleblower statutes protect their primary right to continued employment while Title IX and FEHA protect their primary right to be free of retaliation for opposing discrimination. (Id. at 18.) In addition, plaintiffs argue that Wartluft's FEHA claims are not precluded because they are based on her status as a woman and perceived sexual orientation while her SPB action arose from harm based on her complaints regarding violations of law. (Id. at 19.)
Defendant relies primarily on Takahashi v. Board of Education, 202 Cal. App. 3d 1464 (1988) and Peterson III v. State of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, 451 F. Supp. 2d 1092 (E.D. Cal. 2006), to support its contention that res judicata is applicable in this case. Takahashi is distinguishable because, in that case, the administrative agency determined that the plaintiff's termination was valid and plaintiff failed to raise defenses that she later raised in a separate state court action. 202 Cal. App. 3d at 1477. The court relied in part on the fact that the substance of the agency's decision precluded the plaintiff's action. Id. Importantly, the underlying administrative proceeding in Takahashi was before the Commission on Professional Competence; the very specific purpose of such a hearing is essentially "to determine if cause existed to terminate . . . ." Id. at 1470 n.5. Peterson III, however, is on point. In that case, the plaintiff filed a race discrimination claim with the SPB, which found that he had failed to establish the prima facie elements of race discrimination. Peterson III, 451 F. Supp. 2d at 1098. The plaintiff did not seek judicial review and instead filed a complaint in state court alleging causes of action under Title VII and 42 U.S.C. § 1981. The court found that the plaintiff's claims were barred by the prior SPB determination as the primary right involved in both claims was the right to be free from employment discrimination. Id. at 1108 n.4.
Plaintiffs, on the other hand, rely on George v. California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, 179 Cal. App. 4th 1475 (2009), for their proposition that their FEHA and Title IX claims are not precluded here. The plaintiff in George brought a claim for retaliation in violation of FEHA before the DFEH, before she was suspended, and later brought a claim alleging her discipline was unwarranted before the SPB. 179 Cal. App. 4th at 1480. She did not allege that her discipline was retaliatory in her SPB complaint. Id. The SPB concluded that one of her suspensions was unsupported but that her other suspension was proper. Id. After her second suspension, she filed a second claim with the DFEH, alleging her suspensions were retaliatory. Id. at 1481. The plaintiff was then suspended a third time, after which she brought a third claim to the SPB, which found that one of three allegations on which her suspension was based were just. Id. The George court ultimately found that "[t]he primary right protected by the state civil service system is the right to continued employment, while the primary right protected by FEHA is the right to be free from invidious discrimination and from retaliation for opposing discrimination" and that res judicata was inapplicable. Id. at 1483. Unlike in George, here plaintiffs did not simply contest the bases for their adverse employment actions before the SPB; rather, they specifically alleged retaliation. Moreover, the George court relied in part on Ruiz v. Department of Corrections in reaching its decision. In Ruiz, the court was "mindful of the practical considerations state employees face upon the decision to file a claim. To conclude that state employees must seek review of their discrimination claims through the Board, regardless of their decision to pursue that claim with other agencies, places a burden upon those aggrieved individuals that private employees do not share." 77 Cal. App. 4th at 899. In this respect, Ruiz does not apply here. Rather, this matter presents the court with the scenario, whereby plaintiffs were required to exhaust administrative remedies under FEHA by obtaining a right-to-sue determination from the DFEH, see Rodriguez v. Airborne Express, 265 F.3d 890, 896 (9th Cir. 2001), and also required to file complaints with the SPB as a prerequisite to bringing a claim for damages under the CWPA. CAL. GOV'T CODE § 8547.8(c). Neither party has cited to case law that is directly on point and there appears to be no such precedent. It is important to note that nothing precluded plaintiffs from raising their FEHA and Title IX claims before the SPB. See Ruiz, 77 Cal. App. 4th at 900 ("state employees may pursue their claims of employment discrimination with either the Board or the DFEH or both"). In fact, plaintiffs made the conscious decision to initiate the SPB proceedings after the DFEH had issued them right-tosue notices. (Compare Thein's FAC ¶ 60 with Thein's Req. for Jud. Not. Ex. 1; compare Jaureguito's FAC ¶ 59 with Jaureguito's Req. for Jud. Not. Ex. 1; compare Wartluft's FAC ¶ 61 with Wartluft's Req. for Jud. Not. Ex. 1.) As the California Supreme Court found in Murray v. Alaska Airlines, Inc., "judicial exhaustion may arise when a party initiates and takes to decision an administrative process--whether or not the party was required, as a matter of administrative exhaustion, to even begin the administrative process in the first place." 50 Cal. 4th 860, 867 (2010) (internal quotation omitted). In Johnson, the same court found that "[r]efusing to give binding effect to the findings of administrative agencies in quasi-judicial proceedings would . . . undermine the efficacy of such proceedings." 24 Cal. 4th at 72.
"A primary right is defined as 'the right to be free from the particular unlawful conduct.'" Yanke v. City of Oakland, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 30627, at *12 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 30, 2010) (quoting Sawyer v. First City Fin. Corp., 124 Cal. App. 3d 390, 399-400 (1981)). "In determining the primary right, 'the significant factor is the harm suffered.'" Id. (quoting Agarwal v. Johnson, 25 Cal. 3d 932, 955 (1979)). The primary right in FEHA and Title IX retaliation claims is two-fold: to be free of retaliation and discrimination. "Retaliation against a person because that person has complained of sex discrimination is [a] form of intentional sex discrimination encompassed by Title IX's private cause of action." Jackson v. Birmingham Bd. of Educ., 544 U.S. 167, 173 (2005). While "[i]n other contexts, [the United States Supreme Court] recognized that protection from retaliation is separate from direct protection of the primary right and serves as a prophylactic measure to guard the primary right," the Court has determined that Title IX retaliation is equivalent to discrimination. See id. at 189 (Thomas, J., dissenting); cf. id. at 174 (majority). Similarly, the "primary right protected by FEHA is the right to be free from invidious discrimination and from retaliation for opposing discrimination."
George,179 Cal. App. 4th at 1483. Plaintiffs contend that this court should be persuaded by George that a different primary right was involved in the SPB proceeding than in the present matter. Although the court in George found that "[t]he primary right protected by the state civil service system is the right to continued employment," 179 Cal. App. 4th at 1483, the George plaintiff's claim before the SPB was that her discipline was unwarranted, with no discussion of retaliation. Unlike in George, as noted above, plaintiffs' claims here were specifically for retaliation, alleging the same facts and the same harm that they have alleged before this court; moreover, the purpose of the state whistleblower statutesis to prevent retaliation. See CAL. GOV'T CODE § 8547.1 ("The Legislature finds and declares that state employees should be free to report waste, fraud, abuse of authority, violation of law, or threat to public health without fear of retribution."); CAL. EDUC. CODE § 87161 ("It is the intent of the Legislature that community college employees and other persons disclose . . . improper governmental activities.").
As noted, the relevant factor here is "'the harm suffered.'" Yanke, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 30627, at *12 (quoting Agarwal v. Johnson, 25 Cal. 3d at 955). Plaintiffs' claims before the SPB and before this court involve precisely the same harm and thus the same primary right: in Thein's case, the June 30, 2006 expiration without renewal of his employment contract; in Jauregito's case, the April 7, 2006 resignation; and in Wartluft's case, the November 7, 2005 termination. Each plaintiff's harm is alleged to have been retaliatory. It is irrelevant that plaintiffs "'plead[] different theories of recovery, seek[] different forms of relief . . . .'" Yanke, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 30627, at *14 (quoting Eichman v. Fotomat Corp., 147 Cal. App. 3d 1170, 1174 (1983)). Plaintiffs here could have brought their claims in the SPB proceeding, but chose not to: "Under basic principles of res judicata, a prior adjudication bars claims that were brought or could have been brought in the prior action." Id. at *27. As such, the doctrine of res judicata precludes plaintiffs' Title IX and FEHA claims alleged in the complaints before this court. The court's determination that plaintiffs' FEHA claims are precluded by the doctrine of res judicata does not extend to Thein's and Jauregito's claims for failure to prevent discrimination and harassment in violation of FEHA or to Wartluft's claims for sexual orientation and gender discrimination in violation of FEHA.
As plaintiffs' Title IX claims are precluded, the court will dismiss this case for the reasons discussed below and therefore finds it unnecessary to address the parties' arguments regarding collateral estoppel.
D. Supplemental Jurisdiction
In light of the above, the claims remaining in the present action are state law claims: Thein's and Jaureguito's third claims for failure to prevent discrimination and harassment in violation of the FEHA; and Wartluft's second claim for sexual orientation discrimination in violation of FEHA, third claim for gender discrimination in violation of FEHA, and fifth claim for failure to pay compensation at the time of discharge or termination of employment in violation of California Labor Code sections 201 and 203. Thus, this court no longer retains federal question jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1331. 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) states:
The district courts may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a claim . . . if-- (1) the claim raises a novel or complex issue of State law, (2) the claim substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction, (3) the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction, or (4) in exceptional circumstances, there are other compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction.
"[A] federal court should consider and weigh in each case, and at every stage of the litigation, the values of judicial economy, convenience, fairness, and comity in order to decide whether to exercise jurisdiction over a case brought in that court involving pendent state-law claims. When the balance of these factors indicates that a case properly belongs in state court, as when the federal-law claims have dropped out of the lawsuit in the early stages and only state-law claims remain, the federal court should decline the exercise of jurisdiction by dismissing the case without prejudice." Carnegie-Mellon Univ. v. Cohill, 484 U.S. 343, 350 (1988) (citing Mine Workers v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715, 726-27 (1966)). The three cases before the court are not in their early stages. However, balancing "the policy considerations that have spawned the doctrine of pendency and the countervailing policy of federalism," Rosado v. Wyman, 397 U.S. 397, 403 (1970), weighs against the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction here. The "extent of the investment of judicial energy," id., does not weigh in favor of the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction; though the court has decided a motion to stay (T-39, J-37, W-22) and now the present motions for summary judgment, the remainder of the court's efforts in this case has been taken up with modifications of the status (pretrial scheduling) order. Moreover, any discovery conducted can be utilized in state court. Furthermore, "the character of the claim," Rosado, 397 U.S. at 403, weighs against exercising supplemental jurisdiction; as noted, the only claims surviving are state law claims.
Here, the court exercises its discretion to decline supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state-law causes of action. See Carlsbad Tech., Inc. v. HIF Bio, Inc., 129 S.Ct. 1862, 1866 (2009) ("A district court's decision whether to exercise [supplemental] jurisdiction after dismissing every claim over which it had original jurisdiction is purely discretionary."); Gini v. Las Vegas Metro. Police Dept., 40 F.3d 1041, 1046 (9th Cir. 1994) ("'In the usual case in which federal-law claims are eliminated before trial, the balance of factors . . . will point toward declining to exercise jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims.'" (quoting Schneider v. TRW, Inc., 938 F.2d 986, 993 (9th Cir. 1991))); see also Wren v. Sletten Construction Co., 654 F.2d 529, 536 (9th Cir. 1981) ("When the state issues apparently predominate and all federal claims are dismissed before trial, the proper exercise of discretion requires dismissal of the state claim.").
For the foregoing reasons, defendant's motion for summary judgment or, alternatively, partial summary judgment, is GRANTED IN PART as follows:
1. Defendant's motion is granted as to plaintiffs' claims for unlawful retaliation in violation of Title IX and FEHA;
2. The court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction as to the remaining state law claims; they are hereby dismissed with leave to refile in state court; and
3. This case is CLOSED.

Call for garage hearing praised
The attorney representing the family of a woman who died when her car fell from the River Park Square garage said Thursday he's encouraged by Mayor Dennis Hession's decision to hold a hearing on the garage's safety.
"We are obviously pleased by any action to answer substantial questions as to the integrity of the garage and to take responsible actions to protect the public," said attorney Robert Rembert. "We think it's time for the city as well as the owners of the garage to come forward with affirmative evidence that supports their contention that the garage is safe."
On Wednesday, Hession announced that River Park Square officials will testify at a May 17 hearing on the safety of the garage.
Jo Ellen Savage, 62, of Pullman, died April 8 after her Subaru went through a barrier and fell from the garage's fifth level. Her ex-husband, former Washington State Bar Association President David Savage, is a partner in the Pullman law firm representing her relatives.
Jennifer West, River Park Square spokeswoman, has said the garage is safe and pointed to a 2003 study that says many problems cited in an earlier review were overblown. The garage is owned by the Cowles Co., which also owns The Spokesman-Review.

JetBlue's TrueBlue Members Benefit From New Ways to Engage With Their Points and to Create Wish Lists
TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2011 -- Points International Ltd. (Nasdaq:PCOM) (TSX:PTS), owner and operator of the world's leading loyalty reward program management platform, www.Points.com, has expanded its partnership with JetBlue Airways' customer loyalty program, TrueBlue. In addition to trading, buying, and gifting points, customers now have two more ways to benefit from their TrueBlue membership: the ability to transfer points and create gift registries to receive points for that special event.
"JetBlue's reputation precedes itself for a reason: the airline provides top-notch service for their customers, from the on-board seatback TVs to the points that do not expire," said Rob MacLean, CEO of Points.com. "Points.com is pleased to help JetBlue improve upon those offerings for the members of the airline's esteemed TrueBlue program."
"The ability to easily transfer points is an enhancement that our TrueBlue members have been asking for, and we're pleased to have an answer with the help of Points.com," JetBlue's Director of Loyalty Marketing Dave Canty said. "Bringing our customers new and innovative ways to interact with their points, including a fun gift registry option, is just another example of how we aim to deliver the best possible customer experience."
With the Transfer add-on, TrueBlue members can help friends and family members reach their reward goals faster by seamlessly transferring points between one another.
The airline's loyalty program members can now also create a TrueBlue Gift Registry and receive TrueBlue points as a gift for a honeymoon, a graduation, a vacation or any occasion. How it works:
1. TrueBlue members log onto www.TrueBlueGiftRegistry.com to create a gift registry for points and highlight their specific goal
2. Via social media platforms including Facebook, members can share their registry with friends and family inviting them to contribute points to reach the goal
3. Members can track their progress against their goal via a graph on the registry
Anyone, members and non-TrueBlue members alike, can gift points to the registry using the incredibly flexible gift registry platform. Members can also transfer points from their TrueBlue account directly into a gift registry.

Most investors understand well that gold can be used as a hedge against inflation based on gold performance during the Great Inflation of 1970s. However, few understand that gold is also a hedge against deflation.
Inflation vs. Deflation
In simple terms, inflation (rising prices) is a phenomenon when the supply of goods and services is unable to meet the aggregate demand. For example, if the supplier of a good is not able to produce enough to satisfy the demand due to a) lack of labor, and b) lack of input materials, the wages increase, and the price of input material (commodities) increase - inflation. Also, higher wages further increase the demand, which causes the vicious cycle of inflation. In such a scenario, central bankers raise the interest rates to "cool-off" the economy. What tamed the inflation of 1970s? One of the key variables was the new wave of globalization that started the cycle of outsourcing the production to emerging markets - an increase in (cheap) labor force.
How do you explain deflation? In simple terms, deflation is when, in aggregate, too many goods are produced, or in other words, the aggregate demand falls below the aggregate supply. What happens next? First, the inventories rise, second, the prices fall (deflation), third, the production stops - fall of commodity prices, and next, lay-offs of labor. Finally, due to oversupply of labor, the wages fall. Falling wages cause and even further drop in aggregate demand, and the vicious cycle of deflation starts. During deflationary cycles, the governments try to boost the aggregate demand by lowering the interest rates, and by fiscal stimulus.
Current Situation
The same forces that ended the great inflation of 1970s - outsourcing and globalization, and now causing the deflationary pressures. Specifically, China is able to produce much more that the world is able to consume, all at low prices. Thus, there is oversupply of goods. At the same time, there is also oversupply of cheap labor due to outsourcing to emerging markets (China, India, Mexico...) which is keeping the wages down.
How to you tame these deflationary pressures? One way would be simply to reverse the globalization and bring the manufacturing back to the US. However, this is politically impossible and it would crash the global economy. Thus, governments decided to boost the aggregate demand by lowering the interest rates and by fiscal stimulus. Was this a sustainable policy? No. First, people got into more debt that they were able to service, which led to the financial crisis of 2008. But recently, the governments got into too much debt, which led to defaults and bailouts of many countries (Greece, Cyprus, Ireland,...), which led us to the current situation - endless QE and zero interest rates with no end in sight.
What's Next?
Inability to fight deflation leads to the political instability, street riots, collapsing governments, and finally, collapsing systems. Simply stated, deflation leads to the doomsday scenario. The only evidence of deflation is the Great Depression of 1930s. Ben Bernanke is a student of deflation - that's his specialty, and that's why he is the Chair of the Federal Reserve. We recommend that all investors read his speech on deflation: Deflation - Make Sure It Does Not Happen Here.
Gold and Deflation
How do you hedge the "doomsday scenario"? The stock market crashes during deflationary cycles (NYSEARCA:SPY). Governments collapse, and with them currencies and government bonds (example Greece). Commodities used in production collapse in price, but not versus paper currencies, but versus gold, which becomes the ultimate currency. Gold remains the only safe haven in a chronic deflationary cycle.
How serious is the current deflationary cycle?
There is no need to buy gold to hedge the doomsday scenario of deflation if the worst of the crisis is behind us. Are we past the worst point of the crisis? As we stated in our other articles, the Federal Funds futures don't see the end of the current zero-interest rate policy. The defaults in the EU are not over, as the recent Cyprus example shows, and the EU progression to the political union, which is necessary to solve the crisis, is painfully slow. Japan is basically all-in in attempts to fight deflation, which is a sign of desperation. So, we think at this point, it's very difficult to argue that the worst is behind us. All policies aimed at fighting deflation seem to be only temporary patches.
What should investors do?
We still recommend that investors hedge the risk associated with the current deflationary cycle by having a portion of their portfolio invested in physical gold, the Gold ETF (NYSEARCA:GLD) or gold futures. The current correction is an opportunity to increase the position in gold at cheaper prices.

text: I have always used coasting to improve mpg, even though you are told these days not to, because you are "not in control" of the vehicle. I always coast when travelling downhill or decelerating, but I have my feet hovering over the clutch and brake pedals. Maybe that would fail me a driving test but you don't need to be engine braking to be in control of a car going downhill, in my opinion, I am still perfectly in control of my vehicle. Now that coasting is making a return, why not reintroduce freewheeling hubs, as used by Saabs many years ago. Very simple idea but could improve real world mpg, so why not.

Sleeping in a taxi - level 1
20-08-2015 15:00
Hotels in New York are expensive. People want to visit New York, but they do not have enough money. One man knows this. He offers cheap accommodation. It costs only 40 dollars a night.
You do not stay in a hotel. You stay in a taxi. There is a bed in the taxi. However, there is no bathroom. You must use a restaurant bathroom.
People like this type of accommodation. The taxi is in the city centre. It is only three stops from Times Square, and only one stop from Grand Central Station. You also have a great view of Manhattan.
Difficult words: offer (if you offer something, people can buy it from you), accommodation (a place where you can sleep), view (what you can see).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Homeland Security and Justice Department officials planned to join U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum representatives Thursday to discuss the recovery of some 400 handwritten pages from Rosenberg's diary, covering 1936 to 1944.
Rosenberg was executed for war crimes in 1946. His diary was among several documents kept by Robert Kempner, a U.S. government lawyer at the Nuremberg trials. The museum took possession of parts of Kempner's collection after he died in 1993, but the Rosenberg diary pages remained missing.
Acting on information received last November, authorities recently seized the missing pages after locating them in upstate New York.

We need to make it safe for chrome code to pass in callback functions to content code. This will probably be done through wrapper magic which will prevent content from getting a reference to the actual chrome function, as well as wrap as appropriate any arguments to the callback function.
This could get costly without more JS engine work. Let's discuss.
How often and with what kinds of args (deep object graphs?) are such callbacks actually invoked?
This wrapper would be more general. It's a hole in our system right now that it isn't easy to expose chrome objects (such as GreaseMonkey's console or the geolocation object) to content. These wrappers could automatically be created by XPCNativeWrapper/XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper.
I'm not sure why this particular case could get any more costly than our existing wrappers.
Was this not fixed by bug 480205?
This bug is referenced from https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Safely_accessing_content_DOM_from_chrome#Firefox_2_and_newer , please update accordingly when resolving. (That page is not very clear right now and references to private bugs do not help to understand...)
Sorry for digging up old bug reports, but I was wondering whether the warnings are still valid.
I am currently working on an extension that aims to rewrite and replace attributes of window from within chrome, using an observer on the "content-document-global-created" topic. I am getting a wrapped window object and the security warnings at the aforementioned URL made me hesitate :)
I believe that what you want to do is now safe (as of Gecko 2.0).
Yeah, this was fixed (more or less) by COWs.

After 11 infusions, the last one being 6 minutes, this stuff could keep going I don't know how long. The last five or six infusions were -- surprisingly -- my favorite. The flavor was more balanced including more of those low notes, not enormously powerful, but very pleasant, and that oily feel on the lips that I like so much was very consistently present. I don't think I have had a tea that seemed to improve this noticeably over a long series of brews, unless maybe some of the Dan Congs.
I am feeling more positive about this tea at the end of this session than I was earlier.

For Chad Ochocinco truer words have never been spoken. Until yesterday, he was just some (well known) "Unemployed Black Guy."
On Monday, Ochocinco, a former Pro Bowl receiver, signed with the Miami Dolphins four days after being released by the New England Patriots, reports ESPN.
"Congrats to Chad," tweeted his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. "It's nice to come home."
Even though the 34-year-old Ochocinco, a Miami native, made the Pro Bowl six times -most recently in 2009 – he had only a minor role in his lone season with the Patriots, catching 15 passes for 276 yards.
And now that Ochocinco is back in the football saddle, maybe he won't have to take the offer he was made by porn site Porn Hub.
If you haven't heard, the flashy wide receiver was offered $69,000 to change his name. PornHub, tweeted Ochocinco about the name change and told their followers about the deal they offered him.
Via Twitter, the Pornhub folks told said, "We offered @ochocinco $69,000 to change his name to Chad Seisnueve. We have yet to hear back."
Not too long after, and in true Ochocinco fashion, he responded to PornHub by asking for more money. He wrote, "Add a 0 in front of the 9." If our math is correct, that would come out to be $609,000 which the site said yes to.
So far the offer is still on the table and all Ochocinco has to do to get it is to go by 'Chad Pornhub Lover' for only 24 hours on social media.
We could say something smells fishy about the whole thing … it just doesn't add up from a bottom line point of view. But if he offer is legit, the obvious question is will Ochocinco do it?
Other than the supposed money offer, what's his incentive now that he's no longer and an "Unemployed Black Guy?"

As our dual narrative America continues in opposite directions over torture...of all things......it becomes more and more important to stop and take the time to expose the lies still being touted about torture.
When George W. Bush said repeatedly, "America doesn't torture", he was relying on his own narrative about torture as defined by his Office of Legal Counsel attorneys who had "legalized" torture.
I can say, "The Reverend doesn't steal", and yet still be hitting up liquor stores, head held high, if I keep telling myself robbing liquor stores isn't really stealing. I could even have an attorney write me up some memoes using tons of legalese, arguing that robbing liquor stores, if done a certain way, is not a violation of law.
If challenged that robbing liquor stores is illegal, I could point to my "legal" justifications and petulantly insist I did nothing wrong.
So, saying, "America doesn't torture", is just a word game.
But the claim, being recirculated by the same neo-con nuts who started it in the first place, that torturing detainee Abu Zubaida resulted in the saving of American lives and the breakup of other terror plots is not just a word game.......it is totally false.
Unfortunately, this false narrative will live on,....it will live on as a zombie narrative. It will be added to the zombie pile of dead and rotted narratives that still walk amongst us as zombie neo-con memes. Dead and proven to be phony, false.....but still stumbling around in the land of the living.
There's no longer any question about whether the crazed neo-cons tortured.....they did, and now, with the Bush torture-memo revelations, it's fully out in the open that the Bush White House authorized that torture.
So the zombie narrative, the new living dead claim, has moved to the "effectiveness" of the torturing which Bush had "legalized" and, then, implemented.
About the torturing of Abu Zubaida, here's what the Washington Post reported recently....
As weeks passed after the (Zubaida) capture without significant new confessions, the Bush White House and some at the CIA became convinced that tougher measures had to be tried.
The pressure from upper levels of the government was "tremendous," driven in part by the routine of daily meetings in which policymakers would press for updates, one official remembered.
"They couldn't stand the idea that there wasn't anything new," the official said. "They'd say, 'You aren't working hard enough.' There was both a disbelief in what he was saying and also a desire for retribution -- a feeling that 'He's going to talk, and if he doesn't talk, we'll do whatever.' "
So they tortured Zubaida.....and here's what happened.....
The methods succeeded in breaking him, and the stories he told of al-Qaeda terrorism plots sent CIA officers around the globe chasing leads.
The interrogations led directly to the arrest of Jose Padilla, the man Abu Zubaida identified as heading an effort to explode a radiological "dirty bomb" in an American city. Padilla was held in a naval brig for 3 1/2 years on the allegation but was never charged in any such plot. Every other lead ultimately dissolved into smoke and shadow, according to high-ranking former U.S. officials with access to classified reports.
"We spent millions of dollars chasing false alarms," one former intelligence official said.
In the end, though, not a single significant plot was foiled as a result of Abu Zubaida's tortured confessions, according to former senior government officials who closely followed the interrogations. Nearly all of the leads attained through the harsh measures quickly evaporated, while most of the useful information from Abu Zubaida -- chiefly names of al-Qaeda members and associates -- was obtained before waterboarding was introduced, they said.
Here is the final evidence that torturing Zubaida didn't prevent or breakup any terror plot.....
Since 2006, Senate intelligence committee members have pressed the CIA, in classified briefings, to provide examples of specific leads that were obtained from Abu Zubaida through the use of waterboarding and other methods, according to officials familiar with the requests.
The agency provided none, the officials said.
No matter what the Bush-clones, Michael Hayden and Michael Mukasey, have been screeching like mono-syllable-spouting zombies the last couple of days in the Wall Street Journal and on corporate teevee.....it ain't true.
Torture produces worthless information....that's what the Zubaida story demonstrates. What the Zubaida story does not demonstrate, at all, is that torturing him saved American lives by breaking up future terror plots.
That's just a lie.

VA Disability Compensation:
Comparison of VA Benefits with Those of Workers' Compensation Programs
HEHS-97-5: Published: Feb 14, 1997. Publicly Released: Feb 14, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7111
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO compared the: (1) criteria used by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation program and federal and state workers' compensation programs to determine compensation; and (2) compensation individuals with selected work-related injuries and diseases would receive under VA's disability program and what they would receive for the same impairments under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA).
GAO found that: (1) the VA disability compensation program and workers' compensation programs, including FECA, differ with respect to program goals, types of benefits provided, and eligibility requirements for benefits; (2) most workers' compensation programs provide separate cash payments for wages lost and permanent impairment, while VA provides compensation only for service-connected conditions, which need not be permanent; (3) unlike the VA program, workers' compensation programs emphasize returning employees to work while limiting employers' liability, and the vast majority who receive workers' compensation receive only medical benefits, not cash awards; (4) to be eligible for wage loss benefits under workers' compensation programs, workers must actually lose all or a portion of their wages for a specified minimum period of time, then they receive a portion, usually 66 and two-thirds percent, of their actual lost wages for the duration of the period that wages are lost; (5) to collect compensation for permanent impairments, workers must sustain permanent loss or loss of use of a body part or function, but they need not lose wages to receive compensation for their permanent impairments; (6) unlike workers' compensation programs, the amount of basic compensation veterans may receive is established by statute and is not based on their individual wage loss or usual wages, but it is based on the rating VA's Schedule for Rating Disabilities assigns to that veteran's specific condition; (7) all veterans whose conditions are assigned the same rating receive the same basic benefits amount; (8) unlike workers' compensation for permanent impairments, there is no limit on the length of time veterans can receive benefits or the total amount they can receive for permanent conditions; (9) the monthly cash benefits for permanent impairments under FECA for employees at the GS-12, step 1, salary level tend to be higher than the benefits under VA's disability program for the same types of conditions; (10) this is likely to be the case for those at higher, but not lower, salary levels under FECA because workers' compensation is based on workers' usual wages, whereas veterans' benefits are not; and (11) unless workers' compensation continues under the wage loss provision after the cash awards for permanent impairment and, the amount and present value of VA compensation could be higher than FECA's over the long term.
