New Mitsubishi Projectors Bring Style Into the Boardrooms of the New Millennium
Customized Wood Grain Finishes on High-end LCD Projectors Designed to Complement Executive-Level Decor
CYPRESS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2000--Mitsubishi Presentation Products, creator of the industry's broadest line of award-winning projection and conference room display products, is taking orders for the first of its exclusive LCD projectors sculpted with real "executive style" in mind.
Mitsubishi's X200 and X300 high-end projectors are now available with the same, elegant wood-grain textured finishes being incorporated by professional designers into the world's premier meeting and conference rooms.
"Mitsubishi first took this customized elegance to the desktop with its line of LCD monitor products," said James Chan, Mitsubishi's product manager for projectors. "We immediately realized that the same executive appeal applied to the boardroom and that the cachet was probably even stronger in this venue. It was obvious that if the goal was to impress, then the boardroom was the perfect place to do it. You can now not only dazzle your customers with your presentation, but with the presentation device as well."
The new boardroom pieces are the product of a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Oberhofer Hand-Crafted Computers, Inc. This endeavor represents the first time this art form has been applied to LCD projectors.
The Mitsubishi "Oberhofer Executive Boardroom Edition" also includes the accompanying remote control. The two projectors are both wall mountable so, for some applications or for multiple boardrooms, Mitsubishi makes the customized remote control available by itself if the projector is to be placed out of view.
The price difference between the regular projectors, with remote, and the customized version is only $499 and the remote can be ordered alone for $79. Order processing will take approximately four to six weeks as each projector is hand-detailed in one of the four customized finishes, executive burlwood, plush cherrywood, golden cherrywood and natural maple.
The projectors are equipped with all of the high-end features and innovative technology that made them industry award winners.
High-end Feature Set
Enhanced Lamp Technology - The X300 provides 2000 ANSI lumens and the X200 1200, making them the brightest of any projectors at their weight. They both have user-changeable, long-life, short arc, high efficiency lamps. The Mitsubishi presentation technology creates clear and crisp images up to 300 inches in both units, perfect for any of the diverse lighting situations typical of most companies' presentation venues.
Picture-in-Picture - To make the most of any presentation and add significant dazzle and capabilities, the X300 and X200 are also equipped with Mitsubishi's popular picture-in-picture feature. Any two input sourced images, such as text and video, may be displayed active simultaneously. The window is movable and sizeable to support even the most creative presentation design.
Video Quality - While both projectors exhibit some of the highest levels of video available, the X300 contains the most advanced optics and video algorithms in the projector industry. This patented technology enables it to display beautiful video quality rivaling today's high-end video televisions and satisfying even the most demanding home theater enthusiasts.
Point-n-Zoom Digital Magnification - Like the best of the fixed installation units, the X300 and X200 allow presenters to select and enlarge areas of the display requiring special attention such as spreadsheets, photographic images or highly detailed CAD/CAM schematics for full-screen, easy-view displays. The zoom feature also enlarges the selected area to full screen size and brings the viewing audience up close to the information.
Support and Warranty
The customized projectors are backed by a three-year Emergency Roadside Assistance (ERA) Program, providing a three-year parts and labor warranty, a 30-day warranty on the light source, and 7-day toll-free support.

Lessons In Leadership is an ongoing series in which K-12 principals and superintendents share their best practices and challenges overcome. For more installments, click here.
When Dr. Martin "Marty" Pollio first entered Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky, as a basketball coach and teacher at Shawnee High School on the city's west end in 1997, he quickly learned leadership was one of his favorite parts of the job. That passion, along with a desire to effect positive school culture, saw him rise through the ranks to principalships and, finally, to the interim superintendency 18 months ago before being officially named the county's schools chief last April.
During that time, Pollio has worked to put systems in place that will create a more equitable learning experience for all of the district's students while also fending off a potential state takeover. Education Dive recently caught up with him to discuss how his coaching experience influenced his leadership style, what he sees as essential to building school culture and how he's continuing to work with the state to find the best solution for all stakeholders.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
EDUCATION DIVE: With your background as a coach, do you see a lot of parallels between the way coaching a team in sports works compared to coaching everyone who works for you in the district?
MARTIN POLLIO: I really believe in the principles of effective coaching, whether it's athletics or anything else. Developing a positive culture with your team is so critical to that success within a school, so I really took a lot of the lessons I learned from coaching, because I think successful teams have a positive culture.
There's just something that great coaches do that allows teams to build this culture where they have a passion for the team, they care for each other, they're focused on the things that drive positive outcomes together, they collaborate together. All the things that we also would do in a school with our staff [to] build a positive culture for kids — a lot of those same lessons transfer over.
Coming into this role, I feel that it's my responsibility to build that same type of culture among the leaders within the district so we can influence more teachers, more educators and, most importantly, more kids with this positive culture. There is no doubt the lessons learned in coaching translate, whether you're a principal or a superintendent.
And with building positive school culture becoming more of a focus nationally to the extent that a lot of states have added metrics for that in their plans under the Every Student Succeeds Act, what are some things that you think every school and district should absolutely be doing, at a base level, to improve their school culture?
POLLIO: There is no doubt from a district perspective that having an effective school leader is critical for a positive school culture. That's No. 1, defining what it means to have a positive culture.
In education, we throw around the words "culture" and "climate" all the time, but I really believe that it's incumbent on us to really define for our leaders what it means in Jefferson County Public Schools to have a positive school culture, what we expect principals to do to support students and staff, and what indicators we would look for when we come into a school to identify positive culture. It's, without a doubt, critical to have system-wide thinking from a district perspective to produce positive culture.
From a district perspective, what we need to give people to do their job effectively is several things. No. 1, the supports they need for kids, so we provide more systemic supports for our students. No. 2, we provide the tools that they need in order to be successful. We provide the professional development that they need. We provide the curriculum support that staff need, teachers need, in order to be successful. So we're working on that now, but definitely giving people what they need to be successful.
And finally, I would say that on culture, we have really worked to accomplish in JCPS the concept of a North Star — that everybody in the organization has to feel there is a purpose for what they are doing collectively. Beyond just showing up for work, or just showing up for the kids that are in their classroom or on their roster, there is a collective purpose as an entire organization that we are working toward. Some people might call that "vision." We talk a lot about purpose or a collective North Star that we work [toward] together, and then every school reflects that North Star. When we do those things, we'll have a positive culture, and so that's what we consistently work toward here at JCPS.
On a student level with school culture, how important do you see the school's approaches to discipline being in the efforts to foster a positive culture?
POLLIO: That gets to student support. Throughout my career, I've grown and somewhat evolved in my thinking. I've said all along that we must have high expectations for students — for everybody. We must have high expectations for how students behave and act in a school culture. But where I've really evolved is that we must have equally as high supports for students. That's where I think our district has not done the job that was needed in the past — systemically providing supports for students.
Most people would not argue that, most times — especially in younger children — when there are behavior issues, there is often an underlying reason or need for support that a child is really asking for. For us to provide the effective instruction and meet the students' needs, we've got to support that student. We have really worked to provide those systemic supports so we can address the issue causing the problem.
We really are working to increase those supports. For example, we're committed next school year to providing a mental health professional at every single one of our schools. That's a big challenge for us, but we heard our stakeholders, our teachers and our principals say many of our children are suffering from unmet mental health needs, and we need to try to meet those needs.
That's all a part of a plan to support students. We're also asking all of our schools to build systems of support. We want academic interventions at every school, but as equally, we want behavior interventions at every school. So, if a student is not proficient in math and skills in math, our schools are actively providing interventions so that we meet those needs. It's got to be the same with discipline. If a student is struggling with discipline, yes, we have to have high expectations for them, but we also have to provide interventions to meet those needs of the student with supports from the district.
I believe when students feel that sense of belonging, then discipline problems reduce.
From a district leadership perspective, what are some of the challenges that come up when it comes to ensuring all students across the district have access to the same high-quality opportunities and supports and resources regardless of whether they're in, say, Shawnee High School or duPont Manual High School?
POLLIO: This is where really the word "equity" comes in. Not "equal," but providing schools and students with what they need to be successful. And then, in turn, providing each school with what they need to be successful.
The challenge for us at JCPS is that we have been a district of 156 schools without a systemic view of the work that we want to do. When you do that, you essentially have 156 independent contractors. That's when you get disproportionate outcomes, and when you don't have a systemic view of support of schools and expectations of schools.
Where we really have to get in is we have to look at those supports with the equity focus in mind — that those schools that need additional supports, that might need additional personnel, additional technology, whatever those might be — that you are providing those schools with what they need to be successful. But that's a challenge to build. A challenge is the size and the amount of schools we have, but the only way to be successful at that is to take it with a systemic view.
You recently dealt with some pressure from the state regarding a potential takeover. For superintendents who also find themselves in that position, what are some things they can do to work with their states to avoid that scenario, like JCPS did?
POLLIO: It is critical for the leader of the district to recognize and acknowledge the issues that are in the district. All too often, it's easy to get involved in a political argument about the state takeover that was happening this past summer.
As superintendent, I felt my job was to recognize and acknowledge the problems we have, stand up, and also celebrate the successes we have, because we have a lot of successes here. We have a lot of great things happening. But as the superintendent, I had to say, "Here, I'm taking the results, the deficiencies, from this audit that has taken place." I have to acknowledge that we have issues and problems and begin to attack those problems.
It was important for me to say, "Let's build a system in this district that is going to address these issues or problems," and begin the process of fixing that. Obviously, there were a lot of battles being played out in the media and in other ways. I felt it was my job to move forward and just do everything I could to make this a great district and begin that process.
Secondarily, I had to know that the people in the Kentucky Department of Education — quite frankly, they're all educators, the people we work with on a regular basis, and they want the same outcomes and the same goals that we do, which was for our students to be successful. From the very beginning, we opened the door and said, "Let's collaborate to make this successful and really begin a collaborative relationship," because one-seventh of the students in the state of Kentucky go to Jefferson County Public Schools. So for the state to be successful, JCPS has to be successful.
Almost a year and a half ago, we received the first part of the audit results with some deficiencies, and we opened the door and said, "Come with us and help us create a corrective action plan together. Let's meet regularly. Let's talk about ways we can work together to support our kids."
When you develop that collaborative relationship with the state department and the educators that work there, you tend to come together and say, "We're going to do something great for the kids of Kentucky and JCPS together." And we've had that collaborative relationship. So outside of the whole agreement process, our work with the Kentucky Department of Education has been very positive.

Job creation is a contentious issue ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. While contrasting reports talk about the potential for jobs and unemployment in equal measure, the BJP is confident that they've done enough under Modi sarkar. "There has been an unprecedented rate of employment generation," said Karnataka BJP IT Cell Chief and BJP Youth Wing General Secretary Tejasvi Surya. We caught up with the 29-year-old politician and lawyer. Excerpts from the charged chat:
The NSSO survey stated that India's employment data is at an all-time low. Where is the government's answer?
Irrespective of our political affiliations, there are issues that are far more important. The issue of jobs is extremely important for a young person and it is not just about the BJP or the Congress. It is about finding a solution. But that doesn't mean that facts have to be dismissed in a manner that suits a political narrative. The World Bank has stated that in the last two-three years, India has seen the 44 people come above the poverty line every minute. The pace has been at its highest under this government. We have institutionalised a process to get better data and NITI Aayog is looking into it. The most amount of roads were built in India in the last five years, which generated jobs. Almost Rs 15 lakh crore worth of loans have been dismissed under 'Mudra Yojana'. However, we must realise that we are a country of over one billion people, and every single day, several youths are venturing into the job market.
How does Karnataka's BJP IT Cell find people?
Most of the people working under the IT cell are volunteers. There is no such employment process. However, we do have a limited number of people who work on the technical aspects such as video editing or making graphics. The volunteer cadre don't get paid anything. All of us including I, don't get paid for our party work. People mostly have a primary job where they earn their bread and butter and later give time to the party
What's your take on doctored videos and misinformation being spread on social media?
Social media and platforms like Twitter and Facebook are like a double-edged sword. The advantage is that all of us have a great platform to consume information and free space to express our views. At the same time, it allows us to correct fake news and bring out real information. This is a matter of principle across all parties.
Who filters the content that goes on the internet?
There is an editorial process. There are people who monitor the content and look out for factual accuracy. That is across the political spectrum.

Chapter 8: Summary Decisions
- 8.1 Dismissing Appeals
- 8.2 Extending the Time to Appeal
- 8.3 Stay of Decision under Section 294
- 8.4 Suspension of an Appeal
- 8.4.1 Suspension for Referral of an Undetermined Matter Back to the Board under Section 297(3)
- 8.4.2 Suspension to Obtain Independent Health Professional Advice under Section 302
- 8.4.3 Suspension for Referral to the Chair for Lawfulness of Policy under Section 304
- 8.4.4 Suspension Pending a Board Decision on a Related Matter under Section 305
- 8.5 Withdrawals
WCAT decisions are of two types: merit decisions which involve the weighing of evidence and argument in relation to the primary issues on appeal, and summary decisions which are of three types. A summary decision may be procedural, that is, concerned with the steps or processes in the appeal; it may be an interim decision, such as suspending an appeal; or it may provide a final outcome such as dismissing an appeal without a decision on its merits [s. 31(1) ATA].
Summary decisions may be provided by a formal numbered decision or by letter. They may be issued by the registrar's office or by a panel. They may concern:
- an application for an extension of time to appeal to WCAT;
- a request for a stay of a Board decision pending the outcome of the appeal;
- jurisdictional issues, such as whether a party has standing to initiate the appeal, or whether the issue is one within WCAT's jurisdiction;
- dismissal of an appeal;
- suspension of an appeal; or,
- an appellant's request to withdraw an appeal.
8.1 Dismissing Appeals
Section 31(1) of the ATA allows WCAT to dismiss all or part of an appeal in a summary manner if any of the following apply:
- the appeal is not within WCAT's jurisdiction;
- the appeal was filed out of time;
- the appeal is frivolous, vexatious or trivial or gives rise to an abuse of process;
- the appeal was made in bad faith or filed for an improper purpose or motive;
- the appellant failed to diligently pursue the appeal or failed to comply with a WCAT order;
- there is no reasonable prospect that the appeal will succeed;
- the substance of the appeal has been appropriately dealt with in another proceeding.
Section 31(2) of the ATA requires WCAT to give the appellant an opportunity to file a written submission or otherwise be heard before dismissing an appeal. Section 31(3) of the ATA requires WCAT to issue a written decision, with reasons, for dismissing an appeal.
8.2 Extending the Time to Appeal
There is a 30‑day time limit for appealing a decision of a review officer to WCAT [s. 293(1)]. There is a 90‑day time limit for appealing a decision of a Board officer concerning a prohibited action complaint (under section 50) or concerning a reopening on application (under section 125(1)) to WCAT [s. 293(2)] (5.1). WCAT adds eight days to the time to allow for mailing [s. 344(2)].
The chair has the discretion to extend the time to appeal under section 293(3). In order for the chair to exercise that discretion in favour of extending the time to appeal, an applicant must meet, at a minimum, the following two requirements:
- the chair must be satisfied that special circumstances precluded the filing of the appeal on time; and,
- the chair must be satisfied that an injustice would result if the extension were not granted.
In considering whether to exercise the discretion to extend the time to appeal, the chair may also consider other relevant factors, such as whether there is prejudice to the respondent and whether the delay is so long that WCAT cannot reasonably or fairly decide the appeal.
A decision to allow or deny an extension of time to appeal to WCAT is final and conclusive.
Practice Directive
8.2.1 Application for Extension of Time
WCAT will not process an application for an extension of time to appeal where the notice of appeal, letter or other written method of initiating the appeal, does not meet the requirements of section 292(2).
An application for an extension of time to appeal will normally be considered on the basis of written submissions. Disclosure of the Board file will not usually be provided. WCAT will invite the respondent to participate (6.5).
Applicants must provide reasons for not appealing within the statutory time frame. Applicants must also provide reasons for any further delay after the expiry of that time. If the applicant fails to provide these reasons, the applicant will be required to provide or complete the reasons within 21 days.
If WCAT does not receive the completed reasons by the due date, the appeal will be closed as incomplete and WCAT will take no further action. If the applicant later wishes to pursue the appeal, they must again apply for an extension of time to appeal.
8.2.2 Special Circumstances Precluded
Special circumstances must preclude filing the appeal on time. The dictionary definition of "special" includes "unusual," "uncommon," "exceptional," and "extraordinary." In the context of section 293(3)(a), "preclude" does not mean "absolutely prevent." It may include "prevent," "hinder," "impede," or "delay." When deciding an extension of time application, panels will not consider the merits of the appeal.
The special circumstances test in section 293(3)(a) is only applicable to the failure to file the appeal on time. It does not apply to any subsequent delay after the time to appeal expired.
In determining whether special circumstances precluded the filing of the appeal on time, the chair may consider a number of factors, including:
- the date on which the applicant actually received the decision under appeal;
- if there was a delay in the applicant receiving the decision, the reason for the delay;
- whether the applicant was aware of the right to appeal and the time limit for initiating the appeal;
- whether there was a clear and significant error of fact, law, or policy in the decision of which the applicant could not reasonably have been aware;
- whether the applicant has obtained significant new evidence that would support the appeal which, when the time limit to appeal expired, either did not exist or existed but was not discovered and could not through the exercise of reasonable diligence have been discovered; and,
- whether the applicant took all reasonable steps to ensure a timely appeal.
184.108.40.206 Representative Acts or Omissions
When considering whether acts and omissions of a representative constitute special circumstances that precluded the filing of the appeal on time, the overriding consideration is whether the applicant acted reasonably in all of the circumstances.
In determining whether acts and omissions of a representative constitute special circumstances that precluded the filing of an appeal on time, the chair may consider a number of factors, including:
- whether, within the relevant appeal period, the applicant instructed a representative to appeal;
- whether the applicant was in any way responsible for the delay;
- any other relevant circumstances particular to the appeal.
8.2.3 Injustice
In order to extend the time to appeal, an injustice must result from the refusal to grant the extension (s. 293(3)(b)). "Injustice" is given a wide meaning, including "unfairness," "lack of justice," or "wrong." In determining whether "an injustice would otherwise result," the chair may consider a number of factors, including:
- the significance of the matter under appeal (i.e. the magnitude or importance of the issues under appeal);
- the length of the delay;
- the reasons for any delay beyond the expiry of the time limit to appeal;
- whether the applicant acted promptly to initiate an appeal when they became aware of the decision, the time limit for appealing, or the significant new evidence that would support the appeal; and,
- any other relevant circumstances particular to the appeal.
The WCAT extension of time to appeal application form is accessible on the WCAT website at: www.wcat.bc.ca.
8.3 Stay of Decision under Section 294
Unless WCAT orders otherwise, an appeal to WCAT does not operate as a stay, or affect the operation, of the decision or order under appeal [s. 294].
RULE: A stay is an extraordinary remedy. WCAT will not process a stay application unless the applicant has completed a notice of appeal within the time limit to appeal which meets the requirements of s. 292(2)
When determining whether to issue a stay, panels will consider:
- whether the appeal, on its face, appears to have merit;
- whether the applicant would likely suffer serious harm if the stay were not granted (for example, loss of a business);
- which party would likely suffer greater harm or prejudice from granting or denying a stay; and,
- in the context of occupational health and safety, whether granting a stay would likely endanger worker safety.
This list is not exhaustive and WCAT may take other factors into account.
8.3.1 Application for Stay of Decision
Practice Directive
WCAT will generally deal with an application for a stay as a preliminary matter on the basis of written submissions. Disclosure of the Board file will not usually be provided. The applicant must be a party to the appeal.
The applicant is required to provide written submissions in support of the stay application together with the notice of appeal or within seven days from the date WCAT received the notice of appeal. WCAT will send the submissions to the respondents who have 14 days to respond. The applicant will then have five days to provide a rebuttal. The panel will issue a written decision on the stay application as soon as practicable once submissions are complete.
If the applicant fails to provide written submissions in support of their stay application within seven days of the date WCAT received their notice of appeal, or the applicant's submission does not address the stay application, WCAT will deny the stay application and process the appeal as usual.
The WCAT application for a stay form is accessible on the WCAT website at: www.wcat.bc.ca.
8.4 Suspension of an Appeal
The WCA authorizes the chair to suspend appeals in four situations. In three of the situations, a suspension results in the matter automatically being returned to WCAT for further action. In the fourth, unless the appellant asks WCAT to proceed within 30 days of a further Board decision, WCAT will close the appeal and take no further action.
A suspension under the WCA interrupts the statutory 180‑day time frame for decision making. A suspension is an interim decision that is not final and conclusive.
See 3.4.1 with respect to suspension under s. 45(4) ATA.
8.4.1 Suspension for Referral of an Undetermined Matter Back to the Board under Section 297(3)
Where a panel considers there to be a matter that should have been determined by the Board but was not, the panel may refer that matter back to the Board for determination and suspend the appeal until the Board makes that determination. Before referring the matter back, the panel may make findings of fact or resolve other issues. The panel will include these in the referral which will be issued as a numbered decision.
As this referral is an interim decision, the panel will not make any final decisions on other matters raised by the appeal before it. However, where the panel is considering appeals from more than one decision, the panel may sever unrelated appeals from the referral and make final decisions on them.
If a panel refers a matter back to the Board under section 297(3), the panel must take the Board's determination into account in deciding the original appeal. The parties may not request a review of that determination by a review officer [s. 297(4)]. The panel has jurisdiction to deal with the whole matter, including the issues arising from the Board's new determination. The panel must make a decision (that is, confirm, vary or cancel) both on the matter which was the subject of the original appeal, as well as on the new Board determination that resulted from the referral.
When WCAT receives the Board's determination requested under section 297(3), WCAT will reactivate the suspended appeal. WCAT will notify a non-participating respondent of the Board's new determination and will provide the parties with the opportunity to make submissions. If the Board's determination is with respect to another claim, any new respondent will also be invited to participate. If the Board makes other new decisions which result from the referral but do not directly address the matter referred, they are reviewable by a review officer.
8.4.2 Suspension to Obtain Independent Health Professional Advice under Section 302
When a panel decides to retain an independent health professional to provide advice in respect of a specific appeal under section 302, WCAT will suspend the appeal when the panel provides the registrar's office with the completed terms of reference for the health professional. WCAT will reactivate the suspended appeal when it receives the health professional's report [s. 302(7)] (see 11).
8.4.3 Suspension for Referral to the Chair for Lawfulness of Policy under Section 304
If a panel considers that a policy of the board of directors should not be applied on the ground that the policy is so patently unreasonable that it is not capable of being supported by the WCA and its regulations [s. 304(1)], the panel must refer that issue to the chair. WCAT must suspend the appeal until the chair or the board of directors, as the case may be, makes a determination. If the chair refers the issue to the board of directors, the chair must also suspend any other pending appeals that the chair considers to be affected by the same policy until the board of directors makes a determination [s. 304(5)(b)] (see 9).
8.4.4 Suspension Pending a Board Decision on a Related Matter under Section 305
On the appellant's application, or on the chair's own initiative, WCAT may suspend an appeal if a Board's decision respecting a related matter is pending [s. 305(1)], either before the Board or before a review officer.
A related matter is one which deals with similar issues in the same file, or another related file for the same appellant, or one which may have a direct impact on the appeal. A pending matter is one which the appellant has already initiated, or one which the Board or the Review Division is in the process of deciding.
Practice Directive
An appeal may be suspended under section 305(1) at any time during the appeal proceedings.
If WCAT is considering suspending an appeal under section 305(1) on its own initiative, WCAT may seek further submissions from the parties. Prior to suspending the appeal, WCAT should be satisfied that:
- there is a pending decision of the Board or of a review officer;
- the pending decision involves a determination of a matter that is related to the matter under appeal.
Once WCAT suspends an appeal under section 305(1), WCAT will notify all participating parties and clearly identify the pending decision of the Board or review officer. When an appeal is suspended, a deferral of compensation payable due to a review officer's decision continues.
At any time before the Board or review officer issues the pending decision, the appellant may ask WCAT to continue the appeal. WCAT may grant the request or may continue the suspension [s. 305(3)]. WCAT cannot continue the appeal on its own initiative or at the request of the respondent.
When the Board or review officer, as the case may be, issues their decision on the related matter, the appellant has 30 days after the date of the decision to ask WCAT to proceed with the suspended appeal [s. 305(2)]. WCAT must then reactivate and continue the appeal. If the appellant does not ask WCAT to proceed with the suspended appeal within 30 days, WCAT will close the appeal and take no further action. If the appellant later wishes to pursue the appeal, they must apply for an extension of time to continue the appeal [s. 305(4) and 8.2 to 8.2.3].
The appellant must ask WCAT to reactivate the suspended appeal within 30 days even if the appellant intends to appeal or request a review, as the case may be, of the new decision. Where the new decision was issued by the Board, the appellant may ask WCAT to re-suspend the appeal after they have filed their request for review with the Review Division.
8.5 Withdrawals
RULE: An appellant may withdraw an appeal by right at any time before the appeal has been assigned to a panel.
After assignment, WCAT will decide whether to allow a request for withdrawal. The request for withdrawal will normally be granted.
Requests for withdrawal must be made in writing, or in person at an oral hearing.
This rule applies to appeals that have met the requirements of section 292 (see Rule 220.127.116.11 with respect to withdrawal of appeals that have not met the requirements of section 292). Withdrawing an appeal does not extend the time limit for filing the appeal. An appellant who withdraws an appeal before the appeal has been assigned to a panel, and who later wishes to pursue the appeal must apply for an extension of time to appeal (see section 293(3)).
In deciding whether to accept a request for withdrawal after assignment of the appeal to a panel, the panel may consider whether there is evidence of:
- fraud or misrepresentation on the part of the appellant;
- an error of law or policy within the scope of the appeal which resulted in the appellant being entitled to benefits they would not be entitled to but for the error; or
- any other circumstance that could result in an injustice.
Parties to a withdrawn appeal may request reimbursement of expenses associated with obtaining or producing evidence that was submitted to WCAT with respect to the appeal. In deciding whether to reimburse the expenses, WCAT will apply the criteria set out in 16.1.3.
WCAT's decision to accept the withdrawal of an appeal that has met the requirements of section 292(2) is final and conclusive. If the appellant later wishes to pursue the appeal, they must apply for reconsideration of the withdrawal decision (20.2 to 20.3.2).

Slate's movie critic Carl Wilson, by his own admission, hesitated before writing about an incident involving white rapper Macklemore (photograph from Slate, below), even after the "predictable outrage" over what he concedes was "an apparently anti-Semitic stage costume." It was, however, not much of an outrage; Wilson links to numerous Twitter comments, which is less outrage than murmur.
Given it has not erupted into a major controversy, I hesitated to blog about the matter, but finally recognized how important this story is precisely because it hasn't blown up. Consider Donald Sterling and numerous other public figures who have made bigoted remarks and found themselves the subject of seemingly endless criticism in the media and among people everywhere. Wilson explains
The Internet collectively face-palmed last weekend when photos were released of Macklemore wearing what looked like a stereotypical old-Jewish-man costume, complete with false hooked nose and beard, in a surprise show at the EMP Museum in his hometown of Seattle. Worse, the Grammy winner was performing his hit "Thrift Shop" at the time, which made it seem like he was wisecracking about cheap Jews and retail schmattas.
I've never thought Macklemore particularly savvy, but the idea that he deliberately went out in anti-Semitic costume seemed out of character. While neither his songs nor his persona appeal to me, what's usually annoying is how painfully earnestly he strains to show what a sensitive, enlightened, big-hearted bro he is.
Most famously there's his straight-dude-touting-gay-marriage anthem "Same Love," which he performed at the Grammys while dozens of same-sex couples in the hall were joined in matrimony. But he's also one of the few white rappers who's admitted feeling conflicted about his racial position—in his early song "White Privilege," he fretted about appropriating and "gentrifying" hip-hop: "I give everything I have when I write a rhyme/ But that doesn't change the fact that this culture's not mine … We still owe them 40 acres/ Now we've stolen their 16 bars." Could this really be the same guy prancing around the stage in a shoddy Shylock outfit?
It took a few days for Macklemore to respond with anything longer than a tweet, but if his eventual statement is anything other than sincere, it's an improbably masterful execution of a "play dumb" strategy. He explains in awkward prose that he'd just grabbed a random collection of costume pieces—including a "witch nose"—as a disguise, so that he could be unrecognized in the crowd before making his appearance. He describes the costume as one part Lincoln, one part Ringo, or maybe "Humpty Hump with a bowl cut." He just didn't realize, he says, that anyone could see it otherwise. Finally he apologizes to those he offended and says (again, rather awkwardly) that the silver lining is now he knows about the "incredible" Anti-Defamation League.
On behalf of his organization, Anti-Defamation League President Abraham Foxman responded by asserting "we welcome Macklemore's apology," apparently in part because "we know that Macklemore is someone who has used his platform in the past to stand up and speak out against intolerance and bigotry, particularly homophobia." (Foxman, a Holocaust survivor, pretends not to notice anti-Semitism is not identical to homophobia. It is as possible to welcome gay people and not Jews as it is to welcome Jews and not gay people.)
Still, Macklemore- who hid behind the standard and odious "I truly apologize to anybody that I may have offended"- did "acknowledge how the costume could, within a context of stereotyping, be ascribed to a Jewish caricature."
Nonetheless, Wilson minimizes Macklemore's behavior when he argues
What we're undergoing is an escalation of awareness now that social media can circulate such images so widely and rapidly- along with critics' complaints about them,and the backlash to the complaints, and the backlash to the backlash. The cycle can be numbing, and the temptation to indulge in the easy pleasures of condemnation and judgment- wanting not to miss out on joining each chorus of disapproval- tends to reduce all the cases to the same thing. But in fact, Macklemore's ignorant boneheadedness isn't alike with Coyne's arrogant obnoxiousness, and Katy Perry's ersatz SNL skit shouldn't be too casually equated with her dad's sectarian bigotry.
Katy Perry's father, Keith Hudson, recently preached at a church in Ohio "You go to L.A. and you own all the Rolex and diamond places. Walk down a part of L.A. where we live and it is so rich it smells. You ever smell rich? They are all Jews, hallelujah. Amen." Wilson does not link to "Katy Perry's ersatz SNL skit" and, not being as culturally attuned as a movie critic, I have no idea what it was beyond the writer's passing remark that Perry apparently "drape(d) herself in Asian textiles for 'exotic' effect."
And that reflects a growing problem in media criticism and public umbrage. Wilson realizes entertainers should "take a harder look in the mirror when pulling a 'random' costume out of the collective unconscious, and seek second opinions from aides with a minimum of cultural literacy." But he adds "as audiences in this mongrel land we call planet Earth, I think we're going to have to be prepared to be baffled by racial mix-ups, gaffes, and confusions for a long while yet."
Donning a conservative hat, one could complain "ridicule blacks and get blasted in the media. Ridicule Jews or Asians and you get a pass." But that would probably be inaccurate, and surely missing the point. Macklemore's and Perry's acts were exactly that: acts. The comments by Sterling, Roger Ebert, George Allen, Harry Reid, and others (interesting sideshows from Ranker and The Huffington Post here and here) are comments, the spoken word, and resulted in a greater outcry. Trent Lott may stand as the greatest example: after a long and extremist career culminating in election as Senate Majority Leader, Lott was brought down by a terrible statement commending the late segregationist Strom Thurmond. "Speed kills" has been replaced by "speech kills." Careers (sometimes).
Take a look around the cultural and political landscape. "The chorus of disapproval" cited by Wilson usually is a response to what some individual says, rather than what he or she does.That is the primary reason you heard over and over again about Donald Sterling but little or nothing about Katy Perry or Macklemore, and have forgotten David Vitter.

We are avid readers. There is nothing more exciting than receiving a new book. In fact for my baby shower instead of greeting cards, I asked for a BOOK! I love the idea of purchasing an affordable book and a plush toy.
The books and stuffed animals are priced at only $5 each at Kohl's. You cannot beat that price! My favorite part of this is that 100% of the net profit will support kids' health and education initiatives nationwide. To date, Kohl's has raised nearly $300 million through the Kohl's Cares merchandise program. You can buy as a gift and feel good about giving to a good cause.
The books are well-written with adorable illustrations. The books have a universal theme. Penguin's Big Adventure teaches kids about making new (and sometimes unexpected) friends on vacation. Found teaches kids about losing and finding a favorite stuffed animal. The other book titles teach about feeling safe on a stormy night and the wonder about learning new things. I feel that we can relate to these stories. I also appreciate that they offer board books for my younger daughter. My son feels successful when he can read the board books by himself. We have re-read these stories over and over.
The stuffed animals are plush. I like that the main character of the story goes with the plush toy. My son likes to act out the story with his stuffed animal. My kids have been sleeping and playing with the stuffed animals. I love how my kids want to sit and read to their "new friend." My son has asked if we can get the entire collection!
The Kohl's Cares Summer Collection
· Penguin on Vacation
· Penguin's Big Adventure
· Found
· Stormy Night
· Board Book Set
Plush Toys

The collection is now available until June 26 at Kohl's Stores nationwide and online at Kohls.com.

Disclosure: I received products in exchange for the post but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Q: How do I request charges to be dismissed at arraignment when I'm representing myself?
I went shopping at Wal-Mart last month and purchased a keyboard along with 3 other items. I went thru self checkout and paid for my items. Upon leaving the store an employee said something to me which I couldn't hear since I had headphones in watching a video. I walked to my car and headed home. 2 miles down the road I was pulled over in my wife's car. (She has a record of shoplifting in the past from walmart) I was told that I was reported for shoplifting. In my car there was a walmart bag with three small items I bought and the keyboard (I bought) which slid out of the bag and behind the drivers seat. In the bag was also my receipt which disappeared when the car was impounded.
Is there a way for ME to get it dismissed? I can't afford a lawyer and since it's a class C I'm not required to have one appointed. The admiralty tab is an accident but can't seem to be able to remove it.
Walmart may have a video. Also if you know which register and the time you probably can get the computer records of Payments.
Hire a lawyer who can help you obtain them
In addition to Criminal Law, Admiralty/Maritime was included as a category. Unless there was additional information, I didn't see any Admiralty/Maritime issues here. If there were, you could add or repost them.
Tim Akpinar
A: This is an unfortunate situation, but these types of misunderstandings do happen. You may want to find out who the person at the register was when you were there. Once you know who it is, you can find out if they remember you going to the register that day. You can also potentially subpoena Wal Mart's sales records or video recordings. Also, if you paid with a credit card, you may be able to use your own banking records.
