Libertarian Socialist Caucus of Milwaukee
On George Floyd, Racial Justice and Dismantling Institutions of Oppressive Violence
We, as members of Milwaukee DSA Libertarian Socialist Caucus, support and stand in solidarity with community-led efforts that have arose due to the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minnepolis Police. These community-led efforts are confronting the racist, abusive structure of the police here in Milwaukee and throughout the country. Perpetuating racism from chattel-slavery through to today, modern policing in the US arose out of the slave catching patrols. Authoritarian, hierarchical, and inherently violent, they serve to protect the institutions of class rule and private property over human life. Modern policing is rooted in physical, often violent, repression of the working class, specifically working-class communities of color. Redlining, deindustrialization, and whites-only racial covenants, created substantial segregation in our City, as well as the predominantly white suburbs. This has led to police tactics targeted at communities of color which have led to cycles of mass incarceration. Wisconsin leads the country in the mass incarceration of black men, and Milwaukee, specifically 53206, is the largest contributor to this statistic. (1)
We, as members of a socialist organization, are committed to societal transformation and the eradication of a predatory and racialized capitalist system. We are international, antiracist, feminist, and believe in a broad, multi-cultural coalition that will help lead us out of an unjust, and exploitative system. Moving forward from protest to building counter-power requires coalition building and institutional practices that can flourish, meeting people's needs immediately, while providing space beyond capitalism and the State.
Working-class, socialist institutions must be continually self-examining, be free, open and transparent spaces that are egalitarian, anti-racist, feminist and dedicated to direct democracy. Below, we address three future-focused practices and formations; popular assemblies, solidarity economy, and mutual aid. This can feasibly work together to extend and expand the on-the-ground organizing efforts that we see today in our streets, mobilizing into sustained advancement for those most marginalized by capitalism, society-wide improvements, massive structural changes, and the broadening of current popular social movements fighting for racial, social, and environmental justice.
(1) Popular assemblies (2) are directly democratic vehicles organized from the ground up, arising from working class communities, involving as many people as possible and organized with minimal hierarchy. Democractic decision making processes, which seek to de-emphasize privileges afforded via the capitalist system based on male domination or white skin privilege. These assemblies can act as vehicles to vocalize our demands and build power to challenge and confront racist policing, private capital and repressive governmental policies. Because these policies and institutions currently comprise the status quo, it can be difficult for people to imagine a world without them. But we must think about what we want, not only what currently is. We must address and disempower these institutions that favor ruling class elites over workers, and that tear apart the communities in which we live. Assemblies build collective power that we can leverage to craft policies for the people not for elites and their political lackeys. By assembling in a directly democratically way, occupying public spaces and/or buildings of the current government, we can craft platforms demanding the defunding, divestment and disarming of police and reinvestment into working class communities of color. (3) These counter-institutions help to vocalize our most immediate needs, and, as we experience greater success, will enjoy greater legitimacy.
(2) Solidarity economy is a collection of people-focused, rather than capital-focused practices that envision a federation of worker-owned cooperatives, time banking initiatives, and community land trusts which prioritize the commons (rather than private property),skill sharing, internal democracy, community need, and equitable distribution of profits to all workers involved. Building cooperation and trust rather than competition and rivalry will move us toward a better society. We support the rich tradition of black cooperatives and mutual aid societies that led the fight for community self-determination. (4)
(3) Mutual aid is a way in which we can support one another, without relying on markets, charities or the State. In a very real sense, sharing our resources and talents with one other as we each need assistance from each other — that is, mutual aid. This is one of the most essential building blocks in the creation of a just and equitable world. The world we envision is a world where the needs of all are prioritized, not just wealthy elites, corporate "persons," and their political professionals. Mutual aid is the surest means for our species survival during moments of crisis and beyond.
We stand in solidarity with protestors fighting for a new world, a world free from domination, hierarchy, racism, sexism, and all forms of systemic oppression.
A new world is possible!

Who We Are
The Libertarian Socialist Caucus is an organization of members of the Democratic Socialists of America who believe that libertarian socialist values are the fullest embodiment of this democratic socialist vision. We cherish the DSA's status as a multi-tendency mass socialist organization and wish to create a space within the DSA to discuss and organize for the development of socialism beyond the state.
We take libertarian socialism to encompass those parts of the socialist movement (including syndicalists, council communists, anarchists, cooperativists, communalists and libertarian municipalists, among many others) which have historically seen the surest path to socialism as residing in the creation of independent institutions in civil society that give the working class and ordinary people direct power over their lives.
We believe in the socialist principles of common ownership and that worker control over workplaces can only be advanced through the creation and support of worker-owned firms, radical trade unions, workers' and neighborhood councils, popular assemblies, credit unions and alternative banking systems, community land trusts, and other directly democratic non-state institutions. The power of socialist parties and socialist governments should be subordinate to these more decentralized grassroots formations.
Our particular vision of a libertarian socialist society—and the specific path we intend to take to get there—will emerge out of the discussions and activities of the LSC itself. We believe radical democracy is an ongoing participatory process of deliberation, renegotiation, and collective self-determination. It is for the people themselves to decide what the world they wish to live in is to be. Our inability to describe the precise contours of the liberated society is rooted in the simple fact that democracy is inherently a work in progress, continually created and recreated by its participants.
In short, wherever domination exists—of bosses over workers, of men over women and gender nonconformists, of states over subjects, of whites over people of color, of human society over the rest of the web of life—we seek to replace it with equality, cooperation, love, and mutual respect. Ours is a vision of total liberation, not just in some far-flung revolutionary future but here and now.

Scout groups coping well in face of virus challenge
SCOUT groups in the Henley area say they are ... [more]
Thursday, 26 November 2020
AN accomplished display in defence and attack gave Henley Hawks Colts a one-sided victory in their National Cup clash against St Austell, Cornwall.
The Henley scrum has excelled this season and on this occasion the props Henry Macleod and Sam Williams — as well as substitute Toby McDonagh — stood up well against their burly opponents.
The Henley line-out, with Ed Houghton conspicuous, has improved markedly whilst quality ball was won from broken play, enabling the exciting backline to show their paces.
The first try came after Henley had exerted relentless early pressure and was scored by the impressive Henry Heath knifing through at centre.
Soon afterwards, St Austell endeavoured to place a tactical kick over the Henley line but Heath intercepted on his own 22 before outpacing the opposition to score under the posts. Jamie Winch converted both tries to enable Henley to establish a useful 14-0 lead mid-way through the first half.
St Austell again worked their way deep into Henley territory and this time were rewarded when solid play from their pack secured an unconverted try in the corner. It seemed as if the visitors had found their rhythm but it would be the last time that they seriously challenged the Henley line until late in the game.
A feature of the hosts' performance was their deadly tackling throughout with the slightly-built scrum-half, Ben Venner, magnificent in his cover defence.
It was Henley who scored again shortly before half-time when Winch created a half-break and fed Heath who off-loaded to Rhys Edwards, entering the line at full pace and crossing for another converted try. Henley led 21-0 at the break and shortly after the re-start, Winch put his side further ahead with a penalty.
Henley threatened another try for most of the second hald, notably through driving forward play with Oscar James, Will Properjohn and Alex O'Brien posing problems for St Austell.
When the try came, it was the result of the ball moving quickly through the hands to Callum Brady who made some 40 metres along the right flank before executing a smart switch movement with Heath. It was Heath's hat-trick, a grand effort on an afternoon when Henley's backs delighted an appreciative crowd.
During the last 10 minutes, St Austell made a sustained effort to register another score but Number 8 James Rhodes, Ivor Langley and the gritty Venner were not going to give them the last word.

Foreign investors see a real opportunity in India, but policy implementation needs to pick up pace, says Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga.
Speaking to Romit Guha Banga says the Vodafone retroactive case is still unresolved while the Goods & Services Tax (GST) is yet to be implemented.
Besides a stable public policy, overseas investors want more market access in areas such as legal.
Banga also questioned the government's decision to choose local rival Rupay as partner for Jan Dhan Yojana, saying all players should be given a fair chance to compete. Edited excerpts:
How does India look from overseas as an investment destination?
Incorporate boardrooms in America, the joke used to be, 'When you shake hands with the senior leadership of China, they roll out the red carpet there… whereas when you shake hands with senior officials of India, they roll out the red tape.' People today are talking of India being a real opportunity.
What are the challenges for India on the economic front?
Retroactive taxation has single-handedly created the most angst in people's minds. The biggest challenge is predictability and consistency of public policy. But now, while policy is clearer and more predictable, and frankly more transparent, the actual pace of implementation is choppy.
The one thing we are keen on is increasing the pace of this implementation over 4-5 years. I understand all the political reasons for it. But I (as a foreign investor) don't care. I am saying finish the fighting – give me GST. The Vodafone case is still bubbling around. But now (finance minister Arun) Mr Jaitley has made an offer.
How has that offer been perceived by foreign investors?
The government is trying to clear up history in a way that enables it to move forward. What are the major economic steps? Further clarity on tax matters. Clarity on intellectual property. Market access. India doesn't allow overseas law firms. It's all these ancillary services that enable an environment where investors feel comfortable to come in.
Do debates like religious intolerance concern the business community?
Yes it definitely does. But this kind of problem happens everywhere.
What is the outlook for Mastercard? Comment on growing competition, from say digital wallets.
Over the next three-four years, we can continue to deliver lower double-digit revenue growth, on an average. I can grow my EPS (earnings per share) around the mid-teens.
Now everybody is launching digital wallets. But in all, the need to provide outstanding consumer experience, a safe and secure connection to millions of merchants through banks in 200 countries, meeting local regulations. That's the real payment system. In that, Mastercard has a role to play.
It's about making cash the competitor. 1-1.5 % of GDP goes into managing cash. In India, Rs 21,000 crore is spent a year by the Reserve Bank and commercial banks —on printing, securing, distributing and managing currency operations.
Do you have plans for a digital wallet?
I am not a B2C (business-to-consumer) company - I am a B2B (business-tobusiness) company, B-to-B-to-C is what I am willing to call myself.
Can you talk about the India opportunity for Mastercard?
It's not one of our top 7-8 markets. India still has a very large cash economy. Between 1% and 2.5%-3% of Indian retail payments are electronic. So, the opportunity in India is to grow that from 99% -to 98%, (then) my business doubles. We have invested Rs 1,600 crore in India since PM (Narendra) Modi came into power. I now have 12% of my 12,000-plus global workforce in India.
What is your view on Rupay being selected for Jan Dhan Yojana (JDY)?
All I want is a level playing field.
Are you suggesting that the rules for RuPay are different?
No, as far as policy is concerned. But I believe what I (Mastercard) can offer you (India) — global standards of safety and security — I don't believe any local instrument or scheme can.
Was JDY a lost opportunity for Mastercard?
That was the government's choice. So long as the choice is made incorporating the best of everything – that's for the government to answer. But somebody else needs to convince me it's worth it.
In India, 96% electronic payments are not point of sale, it's cash taken out of an ATM. My pricing for ATM switching is cheaper than RuPay's – but I don't get any traffic… from some bank. Why is that? That somebody has to answer, the bank, not me.
Did you pitch for JDY? Was there an RFP (request for proposal)?
The PM took power and JDY was rolled out. Next time you (India) do something like this, make sure to take into account all the different capabilities in the market place. You want to do an RFP, taken an RFP from me.
I (Mastercard) can bring all the expertise, manpower. You happen to have a CEO, an Indian by birth. Do you invest in or incubate startups? We are in the process of setting up incubators in two other countries.
Is India among them?
One of those could be an interesting one for you.

Macaron Sanguine
Its blood orange season again! Around this time last year, I'd experimented with blood oranges, making a confiture out of the lot I bought. They tasted really fantastic, with very intense citrusy flavours and not to mention the alluring ruby red appearance! I'd been waiting for them to appear again this year and thankfully they did! More jam-making as usual since the marmalade taste really good and goes really well with scones, toast etc. Their versatility is also extended to making Macaron Satine, an orange-passionfruit and creamcheese concoction devised by none other than Pierre Herme. I had plans to use them in a macaron again of course, but this time round, its gonna be for something I made up., Macaron Sanguine. 🙂

Note: This character exists outside the canon of The Legend of Fox the Brave!
You may be looking for the story version or his powers
— Boulder "Rockstorm" the Lycanroc
This is an alternate version of Boulder the Lycanroc created for the Pokémobius: Chaos RP created by Austin Bison. As such, he is completely different in almost all aspects. Boulder will not have his power of foresight, though some aspects of his warrior life will be carried over.
For the RP, he will be known fully as Boulder Rockstorm, in reference to both his Type and warrior status in The Legend of Fox the Brave.
Unlike his counterpart in The Legend of Fox the Brave, who is a typical four-legged Lycanroc, this Boulder is a full-on Mobian Dusk Forme Lycanroc. He stands at around 5'(possibly due to the thin, lanky limbs his kind has). He has mostly orange fur with a long white tail, white arms below his shoulders, white legs below his hips, and a white face with green eyes that turn red when angry. He also maintains the thick mane Dusk Lycanroc have, with part of it drooping over his face, and four rock-spikes in said mane, with a long muzzle. Possibly due to his rock-spikes, he primarily just wears a blue vest reminiscent of Ray the Flying Squirrel from the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie Comics, and tennis shoes.
Boulder largely keeps his personality from The Legend of Fox the Brave, in that he is a stern, stubborn person who tends to keep to himself and occasionally zones out, deep in thought. He does have a sense of humor at times, but will largely remain stone-faced. If on a team, he will often have the good of others in mind, but is not immune to losing his temper. Similar to Ash's Lycanroc from the Pokemon anime, Boulder has the tendency to completely lose control when he gets angry(signified by him having red eyes). Being a Rock-Type, he has severe aquaphobia(fear of water), and hates any water unless he needs a drink, and also hates getting muddy, partly because that means getting wet to get clean. Because of his habit of putting others above himself, he feels the need to help the mutated Pokemon, believing there is nothing wrong in a simple change.
Boulder was originally a regular citizen, having a friendly rivalry with an Arcanine named Lynel but when half the population of Pokemon was mutated, he was-quite possibly-the only person to side with the mutated Pokemon, believing nothing was wrong with them. Boulder began a personal quest of his own to find out what caused the mutation and how the others could live peacefully.
Fighting Style
Since both Midday and Dusk Lycanroc focus on speedy physical attacks, this is just how Boulder fights. He will often use Accelerock to speed in, slam the opponent or use Crunch, and speed away, or use Stone Edge to stay at a distance. If he feels his opponent is getting too close for comfort, he will use Counter to fling them away while dealing damage at the same time.
- Type: Rock
- Ability: Tough Claws; When using a move that makes Contact(in his case, Accelerock, Crunch, and Counter), it will have its power increased.
- Nature: Serious(no stat boosted or lowered)
- Accelerock: An attack limited to Midday and Dusk Lycanroc(unless used via Metronome), and Boulder's most commonly used attack alongside Stone Edge. With it, he can speed forward to slam into the opponent or make a quick retreat. It can be considered the Rock-Type Quick Attack.
- Stone Edge: While a Physical Attack, it is long-range, and is Boulder's most commonly used attack alongside Accelerock. Boulder will either slam his hands into the ground for the attack to make large rock spires, or will create and throw small but sharp stones, and will vary between the two methods depending on what he needs to do. This move has a change of critical hits(which deal heavy damage and ignore stat boosts), and also lets him utilize the Z-Move Splintered Stormshards, which is exclusive to Lycanroc.
- Crunch: When using this attack, Boulder will bite down hard on his opponent, with the chance of lowering their Defense(making them weaker to Physical Attacks), and gives him a range of close combat options, with his most common choice being to jab his opponent with his rock-spikes after releasing and while still up close.
- Counter: A "negative priority" move, Boulder usually saves this move for if he has little choice, or if he feels his opponent is getting too close for comfort, as it lets him fling or knock the opponent away while dealing double the damage they did to him at the same time.

Just to name a few; joint behavior of the maximum of the Wiener process and its location, global and local almost sure limit theorems, strong approximation of the planar local time difference, a general Strassen type theorem, maximal local time on subsets.
This is a brief account on how we have entertained ourselves in the last two years, that is, a summary of the results we have obtained in a joint work with E. Csáki, M. Csörgő and P. Révész on random walks on a comb.

He's got a" history" . . . a small trauma in his past. This trauma led him down a street filled with errors and mishaps. It left him and living back together with his wife that was not- quite- ex.
I will have my place ready for the event and at most I'll provide a local white sluts Eastview Ontario and devote her time to go into the restroom to do whatever it's that girls do in there before they have sex sometimes! From there on, my objective is purely to possess sex as promised. From the Sex I talk more specifically to enhance the sex that you have from the local sluts to setting the stage for a very adventurous sexual and casual arrangement.
You begin to dress for her. You work hard at not flirting and send signals of disinterest, which fuel the sexual tension. After a while you lose interest with stuck at the office all day with older luggage, but you find yourself. She is roll her eyes and tells your thatyou're a player if you get caught on talking about ladies.
Taste and the smell of her well fucked pussy was celestial, sour or musky and sweet, nothing unpleasant, just perfect, sweet Eastview ON casual sex and fwb. My nose was inside her asshole, so my tongue transferred and she squirmed because I ran it around the rim, moving out slightly but not objecting around much. However, not wanting to drive it too much and honestly just appreciating the pussy I went back to work there, this position gives such open access so that I tongue fucked her deeply with my entire tongue until it grew tired then moved to small circles with the tip around her clit until she released my msog hookers Eastview ON and squealed" Fucking hell that is such a tease, I've been on the border for ten minutes. I need him find my local sluts Eastview ON again I believe. " She carefully slid her body down and sat on me facing off so I could watch her cunt stretched around my shaft as she began to rock forwards and backward, and leaning forward, her asshole opening up to my view. Again, I could not resist the Eastview ON how dating apps work and that I know she had previously mentioned" no more" but what's a guy in this position to do- - I rubbed around the area with a wet thumb but did not wish to alert her, so I resisted the desire to push it in. She did, and fair play for her, she did it. She managed to manoeuvre herself hundred and eighty degrees to face me. I had been inside her at a much more comfortable angle now as she began to slide forwards and backwards up and down, and she pushed down. She was massaging all of her most sensitive inner areas with the head of my penis and mashing her clit against what little hair I had. It was not a position or motion that was going to local amatuer sluts homemade videos Eastview me to come any time soon, but it actually did work for her as before very long that she had been throwing her arms in the air and driving me like a bucking bronco, all of the while looking ahead. Then I realised that she was watching herself in the mirror and I pushed my head back but I had been in the wrong angle to see anything, so I gave up and reached my hands up to choose a soft white breast in each hand and carrying a bullet hard pink nipple in between each thumb and forefinger they rolled them, switching between a tight pinch and a gentle Eastview ON f4m casual sex. This made her rock faster and Eastview sluts local fuck and while it turned out uncomfortable for me, she came with a shuddering orgasm as she threw back her head so far I could feel her hair.
Statistics currently show that around one in four couples fulfilled online. Which actually mosts likely to show just just how much things are relocating in the instructions of using modern technology to discover and fulfill people that you are interested in.
Above all else, do not ask her a question as an excuse to tell her something. For instance, don't ask her if she's ever traveled abroad just so you can say, " Oh really? Well, I've been to India and Germany and Nepal and Ireland and. . . " In caseyou're fortunate enough to find yourself talking about deep and meaningful topics during this first encounter, make sure you take advantage of the chance. If she tells you her views and opinions on politics or social rights, for instance, invite her to open up more instead of seizing the chance to challenge her and be" directly" .
The hot 420 online dating North Kamloops BC is the one where your mates look hotter than you. Notice Isay'appear' as at this point we're estimating not and only appearance personality. The purpose is of yourmates'seem' hotter than you, what? Eastview ON thai teen hookers sex's few things worse than seeing that sexy woman gets back to you- just she's asked about your mate at the birthday party pic and can she have his number. So pick on those group photos. It is all about you.
That's when I had a fantastic idea. Since a few months before July I'd attended a very clear course about memory training and personal growth that had excited me, and I'd spoken about it publicly with my parents, I used this as an excuse to encourage them to pay me" another class entirely about public speaking and personal growth" , or at least, that is exactly what I made them think. To be credible, I even went so far as to compose the course demonstration brochure with fake stamps and certificates myself.
Web talk, on the other hand is utilizing abbreviated words for example ur instead of you are, u instead of you, wat rather than what, etc. . While these look ok to use, they are not; they kill the language but also make something you ought to aim to prevent, a first impression.
Local sluts is another problem during despair. You local sluts com Crilly have a feeling of tightness in your throat and also find swallowing difficult. Your mouth will be dry, too making eating difficult. You have to force yourself to eat and might not have any appetite. You could have an empty feeling in your gut as thoughyou're hungry, but you don't feel hungry.
Me: had not planned it out yet but I thoughtyou, me, drinks. . . might let you slap my ass( shrugging emoji) brainstorming here Escalation via passivity. We're having drinks and I might let her slap my Eastview online dating statistics 2018, if I'm feeling up to it. Placing the onus of action on for her, I'm not doing anything, and she's the one. This is a good way to gauge her attention. It's silly and non- threatening, and that's exactly what you want this early.
The reality is that you aren't your job. You are not your parents. You aren't post- graduate degree or your college degree. You are not your earnings or net worth amount. You are not your experiences. You aren't some of those things. Rather, you are past and over these things.
Now some questions you entitled to getting an answer to, especially on a first date. " Have you been married? " , " Do you have any children? " , " Are you gainfully employed? " , " Have you ever been to jail? " Deserve a direct answer, and if you don't get you, there shouldn't be a follow- up date.
This is only one of the reasons I am fond of the holistic approach and it is something which coalesces with my relationship philosophy too: handling the individual as a whole, not trying to mask the symptoms with ineffective suggestions or gimmicks.
Self- Local sluts bbc Big Salmon! The type of rant is someone whose been done wrong by using their prior lover and nowDESERVES'thebest'! " I've had a really hard time and put up with a lot of shit, but not anymore, now im ready and that I only deserve the very free local sluts in fucking Eastview Ontario! " You're setting a standard of exactly what you expect. You're also saying you are on the lookout in whatever kind that may take to be wronged. I can only guarantee 1thing; no communicating if you move with a listing of requirements.
Now. Ladies. Don't think you are getting off the hook. Enough with all the couture and above the makeup. Seriously, there is no reason to cake eyeliner, glitter, and blush: it makes you look as if you've been struck with a slut stick. Nor can you post bikini pics and expect people not to comment. You can't put your pieces and giggles and not expect a dog or two to try and throw a bone. And for all, unlessyou're coming in the fitness center or at and once, tights. are. not. pants. You aren't wearing pants if it only takes a cursory glance to determine whether is Bactrian or Dromedary. Please stop whining about not Eastview ON lj hookers Mr. Right whenyou're dressing like Miss at the moment.
Itself needs to be but it has never been that way for me. Karate teaches you to be silent rather than take part in conflict unless it is strictly necessary. I have interpreted all of this as" you've got to suffer everything that happens to you without responding" . This led me to never behave.
Let us think back to the start. Here is the first step in establishing a relationship that is true and finding a partner for life. Take whatever time you want to find whatyou're searching for. You've got the right to be selective! Ut what if I am just not good at reddit casual sex stds? As they say, " practice makes perfect. " All of the so- called dating pros out there do not agree on many things, but they do agree on this: The only way to get" good" at dating is to go on a lot of dates. That doesn't mean become a dater that is hopeless; it means do not be afraid to get out there and give it your best shot- - as many times as it requires.
I didn't. Imagine if I had thrown in the towel after getting turned down by Kari? What if I had given up that day and said, " That is a lot of, I am done with this? " Cynde and that I never would have met. I wonder just how many men and women concentrate on finding the best partner every day.
He confessed that it was he finally learned what his local sluts pics South River ON's love language was. That surprised me. So, what if we could Eastview Ontario the exact same deadline of obtaining that knowledge that was vital down to a single year after marriage or even before we get married? However, you say, " Yeah John, however, my mom and dad did not need to do all of that stuff, and they did alright. " My answer to that is, that could possibly be true. But are you ready to settle just to get a" nice" marriage or would you prefer an outstanding union? Would you like to understand how to handle difficult relationship problems instead of charles schneider dating apps Eastview? Would not you need to know you are just keen to try it and expect kaya fm online dating just work out and you have the tools necessary to weather life's storms are you a risk taker? Individuals who fail are likely those who are NOT prepared. I would submit to you that if your parents had the chance to get access they likely would have taken advantage of it. Furthermore, depending on your search criteria, your date may not have been increased as if your parents yet their relationship with you might be their first. They will have to learn, just like you, how to best interact in a brand new connection.

Trademarks as a system of signs
a semiotician's look at trademark law
Meghann L. Garrett
pp. 221-236
Semiotics is the study of signs, symbols and meanings, and their interrelation with one another in the realm of human interaction and human life. While using semiotics in the legal field is a relatively new concept, semiotics can be used as an instrument in understanding the law and the lawyer's function within the law. Understanding and using semiotics can provide lawyers with an upper hand in the courtroom, can provide lawyers with a deeper understanding of legal arguments or decisions, and can provide lawyers with a tool in managing legal discourse. The semiotician-attorney will focus on the signs and symbols in law (the legal texts, case names, and other symbols) to reach a deeper understanding of the law and contribute more fully to legal discourse.

Step 2: Meet with the Coordinator of Access Supports to review your request.
Step 3: The Coordinator of Access Supports will confirm your accommodation(s) and notify you, your instructors and others if required (e.g. residence).
Reminder: Accommodations are not renewed automatically. You must complete the Student Request form for every academic year you would like your accommodation plan implemented. If you are requesting changes to your accommodation plan, you will need to submit new documentation for review.

Although not required, you may then meet with your instructor about your accommodation plan. They have specialized knowledge about the courses they teach as well as the workload flow during the semester, and can help ensure that certain challenges are avoided.

you? What is an appropriate reaction? Are there any rules to this?
This show exists because I want to write my personal philosophy in twenty-five words or less. I draw inspiration for my philosophy from famous philosophers in history. I learn about the framework they push their thoughts, words, and actions through. Each week, I get closer to the final draft of my philosophy.

Sophia Mikula Nets 1,000th Point as Weir Defeats John Marshall
WEIRTON — Stuck one point shy of a milestone for a couple of minutes, Sophia Mikula sent the Weir crowd into a frenzy every time she touched the ball early in the second quarter of Monday's game.
Three times the crowd was ready to erupt, just to sit back down after Mikula's layup attempt didn't go through the hoop. With 4:10 to go before halftime, though, they got their reason to celebrate.
Mikula let a jump shot go and drained it, putting her over the 1,000 career point mark. She went on to add another 14 the rest of the way to lead the Red Riders with 23 points, adding seven rebounds and two assists in a 58-42 victory over John Marshall.
"It means a lot to me," Mikula said of the milestone. "I have been working a lot on my game. It's all because of the help of my teammates and my coaches. I'm glad to finally achieve it. It's not a goal that happens all the time.
"When it happened, my heart was beating out of my chest. It was great to see the reaction from the crowd. My mom was excited. It means a lot to have the support behind me."
Weir coach Rick Stead could not be happier for his standout.
"It's a fantastic feeling. I'm elated for her and her family," he said.
"Sophia comes to the gym and works hard. She is a leader and had been consistent in her play since she was a freshman. She is a good kid.
"For me, this is the fourth time I've got to experience someone that played for us scoring 1,000 points. It means a lot, and I'm sure it means a lot to her and the kids."
Once the shot went in — giving Weir (6-7) a 20-18 lead after getting in an early 6-0 hole — and the milestone was reached, his club calmed down and got to work, outscoring the Monarchs (4-8) in the final three quarters to pull away.
"Early on, of course, there was the distraction," Stead said. "Once all that got out of the way, this is probably the best basketball we have played all year. We played more consistent. The key is shooting, and we shot the ball well."
Mikula felt the pressure lifted away, too.
"I was glad I got it in the first half," she said. "I was shaking before that. I thought, 'Seven points, I know I can get it.' I just tried to let it come naturally, but I was starting to get nervous. Once I started making some shots, I was able to just start playing the game and not worry about it as much."
On top of reaching the milestone, Mikula was happy to finally get a win over John Marshall after coming close in recent meetings.
"This means a lot because each year we have had them on the schedule and come close to beating them," she said. "The last time we played them, we let it slip away in the fourth. We finally were able to pull through."
Backing up Mikula's performance were the Aperfines, Bella and Sophia, each reaching double figures. Bella Aperfine finished with 18 points and a game-high five assists (at least three of which went to Mikula). Sophia Aperfine netted 10 points. Leah Maley pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds to go with five points.
For John Marshall coach Brock Melko, the toll of a tough schedule seemed to catch up with his team after a good start that saw the Monarchs up 14-10 after the first quarter.
"I think we looked like a tired team," he said. "It looked like we were trying. Our legs just weren't there. I think it was most evident on our shots, which all of them were short. I think we have girls that are playing harder than they've ever played before, which is a good thing. It's what we preach every day, but I think it's taken a toll on our offense.
"We've got to get used to it and get it fixed. It's been a tough schedule all year. We knew that coming in. The reason we make it that way is to be playing the best at sectionals."
Anna Blake led John Marshall with 10 points, while Landyn Helms, Catherine Helms and Samara Walker each netted six points. Madge Lucy grabbed a team-high seven rebounds to go with five points.
After trailing by four at the end of one, the Red Rider offense got going in the second, outscoring the visitors, 15-7, to open a 25-21 halftime lead. Mikula had 10 of her points in the second quarter.
By the end of the third, the lead was 10 at 39-29, and Weir High scored a game-high 19 points in the fourth, including a strong showing from the foul line (Weir was 18 of 25 from the line).

Historical Medieval Figure: Eleanor of Aquitaine
Secondary Historical Figure: Cleopatra VII
Endowed with intelligence, beauty, and drive, they were educated and powerful female rulers who led their wealthy monarchs with competence and wisdom at a time in history when women were generally viewed as little more than chattel. They were ahead of their time, and their legacies remain relevant. Ancient-day heroines Eleanor of Aquitaine and Cleopatra VII paved the way and continue to inspire women today. The only female in history to have been both the Queen of England and Queen of France, Eleanor of Aquitaine is rightly considered one of the most prominent figures of the Middle Ages and of women's history. As the daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine, she had the gift of bloodline, she was highly-educated, and she inherited one of the largest feudal domains that existed in Western Europe at the time. However, more than the daughter of a wealthy feudal lord, Eleanor of Aquitaine was accomplished in her own right. In 1137 at the age of 15, she married the then-heir to the French throne, Louis VII. One month later, Louis VII ascended to the throne, and Eleanor was thrust into the subservient and subordinate roles of both wife and queen consort of King Louis VII of France. Unlike most women of the day, Eleanor was strong-willed and ambitious; she had opinion and drive, and she wanted to accompany her husband on crusades and play a role in ruling the monarchy. Eleanor was not content to fulfill the traditional role of a veiled damsel in the tower. The very ill-matched personalities of this marriage, however, resulted in only two children (daughters) and ultimately could not withstand the test of time, as the couple divorced after fifteen years. However, it was not long before the dark-eyed beauty, Eleanor of Aquitaine had many suitors, and she married again, this time to Prince Henry of England, who was eleven years her junior. Two years after the wedding, Henry ascended to the throne and became King Henry II of England, with Eleanor Queen of England. Their marriage and collective rule lasted forty-years and produced eight children (five sons and three daughters), although this marriage was marred by many disagreements and King Henry's numerous and open extra-marital affairs. Ultimately, the discourse caused Eleanor and three of her sons, Henry, Richard, and Geoffrey, to forge a rebellion against King Henry's rule, which rebellion resulted in a war that was ongoing from 1173 to 1189, until King Henry ultimately succeeded at fending off his own families' efforts to end his reign. Upon his victory, King Henry punished Eleanor for taking her sons' side, and he placed her in prison for treason. Eleanor remained incarcerated for sixteen years until her sons, who had waged a second rebellion, ultimately succeeded at overthrowing their father's rule. The successful rebellion resulted in Eleanor's favorite son, known as Richard the Lionheart, becoming the King of England. His first official act was the freeing his 67-year-old mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Richard's reign was overshadowed by the third crusade that was waging on the continent, and King Richard was essentially away from his duties as head of the monarchy for a period of five years. It was at this time that Eleanor took the reigns and essentially ruled England with the political wisdom and maturity of a seasoned leader. Upon King Richard's death in 1199, Eleanor's less-favored son, John, became king of England, but she nonetheless engulfed herself in his rule and supported him with maternal loyalty. In her later years, with her legacy established, she returned to Aquitaine and lived happily and peacefully until her death in 1204 at age eighty-two. While historians have judged her unfairly for her indiscretions as a young woman, her political wisdom and tenacity speak louder as

Camping is a quintessential activity for individuals and families. Along with camping season, there comes a preparation season. Choosing a reliable cooler is a vital part of preparing for an extended camping experience. Knowing what extra features you need for where you're going is a vital first step in the selection process.
Below, you'll find some of our favorite picks, as well as a few tips and tricks to make sure you've chosen the best cooler for your needs.
Quick Summary
- If you're taking the whole family or with a big group, check out the Coleman Extreme Heavy-Duty Cooler:
- 100 quarts (160 cans) of storage
- 5 days of ice
- Handle and wheels
- If you're after an extended vacation, the SuperHandy Rotomolded Ice Chest may be the way to go:
- 20 quarts (23 cans) of storage
- Up to 10 days of ice
- Super-insulated design and T-clasp latches
- If bells and whistles are what you're after, the Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze has you covered:
- 20-quart or 55-quart options
- 4 days of ice
- Rotomolded design
- If you just want the best overall recommendation, take a look at the Igloo BMX Cooler:
- 25 quarts (40 cans) of storage
- 4-5 days of ice
- Lightweight, durable design and reinforced base
Who Should Get This?
If you're going for a hike in the woods or a single night on the gravel bar, a camping cooler may not be the best choice for you. You can use a simple foam cooler for a quick and casual trip.
For those who plan on going camping for more than two nights, especially those who will be gone more than a week, a camping cooler may be a better bet. Camping coolers are built of sturdy materials for easy mobility while withstanding the elements. They also keep ice cold for up to 10 days, depending on the model and specific use.
Best Coolers for Camping: What to Look For
The Life of Your Ice
Ice life is one of the most important factors in selecting a camping cooler, as it determines how long your food can be safely kept. When selecting a cooling for an extended trip, it would be wise to buy a model that provides two days more cooling power than your plan. Just in case of unforeseen events.
Premium camping coolers will be made through a technique called rotomolding, where a single piece of material is shaped into a cooler. This technique cuts the potential for weak points, increases the insulation capabilities, and makes for a longer-lasting, better-performing product. The materials of camping coolers are also thicker and sturdier than day-use coolers. It helps them tackle the rough conditions of the great outdoors without sustaining a dent.
Storage Size
Camping for extended periods begets a need for more storage. This includes both the supplies you'll need and the ice it takes to keep the cooler cold. One recommended calculation is 1 person needs 12-15 quarts of space per day of camping.
For those camping at a drive-in site, mobility may not be a big concern. However, those who prefer to camp off the path will want to choose an easily transported cooler. Most quality camping coolers will have multiple methods of transport, including side or front handles, as well as wheels. Their shape will have been designed with mobility in mind.
Best Coolers for Camping: Our Picks
1. Best For Large Groups: Coleman Xtreme Heavy-Duty Cooler
The Coleman Xtreme Heavy Duty 100-quart cooler is an affordable choice for large groups and extended stays. The chest can keep ice cold for up to 5 days in 90*F weather and comes with wheels and handles for easy transport. The lid can support up to 250lbs to double as a bench and comes with four cup holders. You can drain any melted ice through a channel drain. The drain is located low on the cooler's side so you don't have to tip over heavy loads.
What We Like:
- Large storage space
- 5 days of ice
- Heavy-duty design and materials
What We Don't Like:
- The size makes traveling long distances difficult
2. Best for Long Trips: SuperHandy Rotomolded Ice Chest

Useful Tips and Resources
When looking for a camping cooler, there are many styles to choose from. If you want a more in-depth look at the differences among each style, check out this handy how-to-choose guide.
If you're going camping in grizzly country, you have another concern: bear-proofing your food containers. While no cooler is going to be truly bear-proof, you can select for models that are sturdier and have extra locks to do your part in keeping the wildlife wild. For those who want more information, the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) has put together a list of food storage regulations to protect yourself and your munchies in bear country.
What's Inside Your Cooler? The Internal Difference in Expense. For those who want a visual on the difference the quality of your cooler makes, check out this video. This is a comparison video in which two coolers are dissected to show you the inside scoop.

The pound recovered against the rest of major currencies on the back of headlines in which the European Union sources estimated that the last round of EU-UK talks was "one of the most positive talks so far".
We have always waited for the bulls to move the GBP/USD pair towards the 1.3000 resistance for the opportunity of a stronger upward correction. It actually happened amid market optimism about the possibility of signing a trade deal between the European Union and Britain that the currency pair moved towards the 1.3006 resistance during yesterday's trading. However, the celebration didn't last for a long time, as the sell-offs returned after double statements by US Central Bank Governor Jerome Powell and US President Trump, whose health condition improved from Coronavirus symptoms, and therefore bears pushed the pair to the 1.2866 support before settling around 1.2905 at the time of writing.
The pound recovered against the rest of major currencies on the back of headlines in which the European Union sources estimated that the last round of EU-UK talks was "one of the most positive talks so far". The British pound has once again demonstrated its extreme sensitivity to the flow of Brexit news, with gains coming after Reuters reported on Tuesday afternoon about "significant progress" in Brexit talks, which they say makes the European Union see that the trade deal is getting closer.
According to the report, European Union diplomats said that Brussels is now preparing to negotiate until mid-November - rather than cutting off talks at the beginning of next month - to avoid the harmful "no-deal" scenario when the UK's transition period ends on December 31, 2020. While there was no breakthrough in last week's round of negotiations on the three most contentious issues - fishing rights, fair competition guarantees, and future dispute settlement methods - the prospects for a comprehensive deal looked brighter, according to the report.
"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to a deal, although public statements of not reaching an agreement may suggest otherwise," one of the two sources told Reuters, both are said to have been briefed in detail by the European Commission. Developments led to a rebound in the Pound. The GBP/EUR rose to 1.1005 from a previous low of 1.0957, and the GBP/USD pair returned to 1.3000 after being lower at 1.2920 previously. Commenting on the performance, Ned Rumpeltin, a foreign exchange strategic analyst at TD Securities, says: "From our point of view, we believe that Brexit problems will continue to be a tactical driver for the British pound's volatility, especially in times when this is localized, like changes occurring this week for example".
In this regard, and the extent of the vulnerability, the pound sterling declined at the beginning of yesterday's dealings, with currency traders interacting with a news report stating that the European Union will not be ready to meet the UK's easy deadline to agree on the Brexit deal by October 15. According to the Bloomberg report, the European Union is ready to contact Johnson and let the October 15 deadline pass unanswered indicating a slight rise in the odds of a "no-deal" outcome with regards to the improved sentiment witness recently on the issue.
Johnson has previously said that if the European Union and the United Kingdom fail to reach a post-Brexit trade deal by the time of the European Union Council meeting on October 15, it would be better for the UK to withdraw.
According to the technical analysis of the pair: I still believe that surpassing the 1.3000 resistance will be an important catalyst for the GBP/USD bulls to move towards better resistance levels, and the closest ones will then be at 1.3065, 1.3120 and 1.3200, and the pair may surpass that if a real breakout for negotiations and a post-Brexit deal was announced. In contrast, if this didn't happen, the pair bears may move to lower levels, the closest of which are currently 1.2880, 1.2790, and 1.2700, respectively. Up until now, I am still selling the pair from every higher level.
Today, the pair will react to the BREXIT negotiations developments and the reaction to the announcement of the US Federal Reserve's last meeting minutes.

In the state of Michigan, drivers are legally required to carry some form of no-fault car insurance. Established in 1973, this unique form of insurance allows drivers to make a claim against their own insurance company, regardless of who is at fault in a car accident. While the benefits you are supposed to receive are extensive, collecting compensation can sometimes be easier said than done. Here's what you need to know about no-fault insurance and the benefits you deserve after a car crash.
No-Fault Insurance Benefits
Your no-fault insurance is supposed to pay for your medical expenses, wage loss benefits, replacement services, and the damage to other people's property after a car accident, regardless of fault. For severe injuries, no-fault insurance provides victims of catastrophic injuries with lifelong medical benefits, despite liability. In addition, a victim of a car accident can pursue a tort liability claim against the at-fault driver to recover financial losses not covered by their no-fault insurance.
The Dark Side of Insurance Companies
However, insurance companies aren't always on your side. In fact, their goal is usually to pay you as little as possible, because they're in the business of making money. In Michigan, like in other states across the U.S., insurance companies use well-polished tactics to underpay or keep from paying claims, even if it's completely undeserved. Insurance adjustors dispute claims and create delays, putting you under investigation or sending you to an insurance company doctor to avoid having to pay out your benefits.
If your insurance company isn't paying your personal injury claim, your best option is to call one of our Detroit car accident attorneys today. At Goodman Acker, P.C., our team can provide top-notch legal guidance and work tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve. We represent clients under a contingency fee basis, so you don't pay until we win a settlement or recovery.
Diana Lewis for Goodman Acker: Are You Getting All the Benefits You Deserve After A Car Accident?

Hi friends, I have a vision of 1000 men marching in the Vera House, Inc.White Ribbon Walk on March 23, at 12:00 noon in Clinton Square. What a powerful statement we would make by demonstrating that we will no longer remain silent, commit, or support abuse of any kind. I have taken a leadership role in helping to raise awareness particularly among men in our role in ending relationship and domestic violence, sexual assault and elder abuse and I am asking you to join me in this movement too. I am asking 1000 men to make a minimum donation of $10.00. Can I count on your support? #IWill #metoo #1000MenStandWithVeraHouse

I am smiling because I feel great. Looking in the mirror and realizing that am the healthiest I have ever been. I am setting an example for my children, in the legacy of my dad, whose short life inspired me to be the best version of me. I know he would be as proud of my lifestyle change as mom is even if I have to occasionally pass up her sweet potato pie. I have now outlived dad, and am living proof that you can make a change at any age. So don't fear taking a positive step to a greater more active you. I have your back. We can do this. #Inspiration fortheNation! #People we feel good about! #fitnesslife #blacklivesmatter

Wow, how time flies! I haven't been active for a while for basically two reasons. One, I've had crazy much to do at work, so lack of time. Second, I have been fighting my inner critic, so fear. Well, now I'm on a late vacation so I have lots of time to regroup, and I decided to ignore that inner voice and just DO. That's the only way forward right!
Today I have been working on "Drawing Accurate Shapes" using the same reference as before. I am stubborn and I really want to get this right. I've never done the same motive twice before but I find it extremely helpful and I am learning loads. I'm not "there" yet but I think she is so much better than the last time.
Now my next step is to get out my sketchbook and start building my drawing habits!

New Delhi: Industrial output growth slowed to a 20-month low of 0.1 per cent in February, mainly on contraction in the manufacturing sector while retail inflation increased to 2.86 per cent in March from 2.57 per cent in February this year, according to government data released on Friday.
The Index of Industrial Production, or IIP, almost showed a flat growth in February, adding to a host of indicators now pointing to weakening economic momentum. The IIP rose a mere 0.1 per cent in February compared with a growth of 1.7 per cent in January and 6.9 per cent a year ago.
The near stagnation in industrial production complements other signals of weakness in the economy. For instance, import demand for consumer items has weakened in recent months and the Purchasing Managers' Index has also fallen.
While the RBI has projected GDP growth at 7.2 per cent in FY20 compared to 7 per cent in FY19, some analysts believe the forecast may prove optimistic. In order to support economic growth and private investment, the monetary policy panel has cut interest rates by 50 bps since the start of this calendar year.
IIP growth for November 2018 was revised downwards to 0.2 per cent from 0.3 per cent earlier. The previous low in IIP growth was recorded in June 2017, when factory output contracted 0.3 per cent.
The manufacturing sector contracted by 0.3 per cent in February against an expansion of 8.4 per cent a year ago. Also, the capital goods output declined by 8.8 per cent in February 2019 against 16.6 per cent growth in February 2018.
As far as retail inflation is concerned, the official data also pointed out that it has remained within the central bank's medium-term target for the eighth month in a row. The RBI has set a medium-term target of 4 per cent for consumer inflation, which is determined by Consumer Price Index parameter....

Brave soldiers from across Greater Manchester have been honoured with a special parade at their base in Cyprus.
Hundreds of soldiers from the 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment were awarded medals to mark their efforts in Afghanistan over the last year.
The tour medals recognise service in some of the most dangerous war zones in the world - including Helmand province.
A special mention was given to fallen soldiers - including Kingsman Sean Dawson, from Stalybridge, who died during a firefight on Valentine's Day. Kgn Dawson, a former Copley High School pupil, was hailed as 'a most courageous Lion of England'.
Corporal Wayne Pilkington, 32, from Little Hulton, Salford, served with Kgn Dawson in Afghanistan.
Dad-of-one Cpl Pilkington said: "He was a brave soldier, and a pleasure to work with. It's sad he's not here to receive his medal. The medals we received today will be passed down through generations."
Kgn Christopher Robertson, 21, from Openshaw, said: "We've come away from Afghanistan knowing that we have made a difference.
"I'd like to say thanks to everyone back in Manchester for their support while we were out there. You have no idea how much it helped."
Cpl David Moss, 31, from Ashton under Lyne, said: "Today is about my mum and dad, and wife Terri. I served in Iraq, but this is the tour I really wanted to be part of.
"It was the most threatening and the most testing, and I've come back in one piece."
Kgn Robert Thorniley, 26, from Middleton, said: "My family, my wife and mum and dad are proud of what I've achieved, but I'm also proud of myself."
Lieutenant Alexander Dodd, 24, a former Hulme Grammar School pupil from Padfield, said: "What the guys have done, and the medal they received today, will stay with them forever. No one can take it away."
Lt Col Robbie Boyd, commanding officer of 2 Lancs, said: "It's a great privilege to command troops from the north west. They are the best in the world. Not one soldier has ever let me down."

Members of the United States Senate, also known as The World's Greatest Deliberative Body (WGDB), have taken some time off from their busy fund-raising schedules lately to deliberate whether laptop computers should be permitted in their chamber. This contemplation was triggered by Republican Mike Enzi of Wyoming, a former shoe-store owner who became fond of laptop computers when he used them to track inventory "Kenneth Cole 71/2 in a light pink? I'll check on that for you right now, ma'am!
" and now wants to use that same tool to keep up with the WGDB. Resistance was immediate and bipartisan. New Jersey Democrat Robert Torricelli said that using laptops would be cheating, and would end spontaneous debate as we know it. Texas Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison called laptops "ugly and distracting.
" Not for nothing do they call this the World's Greatest Deliberative Body. At the moment, then, laptops sit next to national health care reform in the Senate's limbo pile because many senators fear that the minute anyone fires up a laptop, he or she will stop paying attention to all else, including the world's greatest deliberation. That's the same reasoning by which the Senate does not permit cameras, cell phones or beepers because they, too, could lead to a breakdown of Senate tradition. Interesting animal, tradition. We like to think of it as the whole of our past, the sum of all we have been and done, when in reality we edit it down to a "best-of.
" Say military tradition and we think World War II, not Vietnam. But tradition, like its country cousin nostalgia, has always been selective business. We rewrite the past constantly just as the Senate ignores the fact that among the giants its floor has hosted drunkards, incompetents and vicious racists like Theodore Bilbo. It's the American way. Over the last 17 years, for instance, much of our dialogue has whirled around the premise that all would be well if we could only return to the 1950s, when every family was the Cleavers. June, Ward, Wally and The Beave. We look back at the '50s and we see no crime, no poverty, no unemployment, no tension and hatred. We don't see the body of Emmett Til or the ugly faces that followed the first black students into Little Rock schools. We don't see pollution, or the ruination of those whose thoughts were declared "un-American.
" We see Kerouac, Dean and Brando as cool images on a poster, not messengers bearing bad news about the American dream. ("What are you rebelling against?
" "Whatcha got?
") The clueless majority That's the beauty of history for most people. What we don't like, we change. What we don't understand or care about, we ignore. Listen to talk radio, or family and friends, or community and political leaders. Read respectable publications. Count the number of times someone hasn't a clue about history. People talk about Promise Keepers as if this were either the first or the largest evangelical movement ever. People talk about "today's music" as if drugs and sex never showed up before. People talk about "negative campaigning" as if it were invented yesterday, not practiced in far more vicious form on candidates like Thomas Jefferson. Rapping Bill and O.
J. Now, sure, there are people who know history, and most of them aren't academic scholars. They're just regular people who realize ideas come from somewhere. That if you like Steven Spielberg, Elvis, Ellington, Ronald Reagan or Malcolm X, it can be even more interesting to find out who they grew up on. Of course, that's work. It's easier to call a radio station and declare the O.
J. verdict the biggest miscarriage of justice ever, or Bill Clinton the most corrupt President. The host will probably agree. The more you know, the more complicated selective tradition gets. Selective tradition in baseball, for instance, would bring the Dodgers back to Brooklyn and the World Series back to warm early-fall afternoons. But it stops before it resurrects the traditions of paying players nothing and banning blacks from the majors. Anyone who thinks simply hauling baseball back to the good old days would eliminate unpleasant folks like Albert Belle has never read a biography of Ty Cobb. Which, these days, you can do on your laptop.
