Guiles v. Marineau

Template:Tlx

In Guiles v. Marineau, 461 F.3d 320 (2d. Cir. 2006), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States protect the right of a student in the public schools to wear a shirt insulting the President of the United States and depicting images relating to drugs and alcohol.

overview

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States prohibits Congress, among other things, from passing any law "abridging the freedom of speech." The Fourteenth Amendment likewise prohibits State governments from "depriv[ing] any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The courts have interpreted the "liberty" guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to encompass the freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment. See, e.g., Edwards v. South Carolina, 372 U.S. 229, 235 (1963); Near v. Minnesota, 283 U.S. 697, 707 (1931); Stromberg v. California, 283 U.S. 359, 368 (1931).

factual background

The plaintiff in this case, a student at Williamstown Middle High School in Vermont, had worn a T-shirt displaying the name "George W. Bush" and the words "Chicken-Hawk-In-Chief," underneath of which there was "a large picture of the President's face, wearing a helmet, superimposed on the body of a chicken." Alongside the picture of the President was a depiction of "three lines of cocaine and a razor blade." The wings of the "chicken" were depicted holding a straw and an alcoholic beverage. At the bottom of and on the back of the T-shirt there was additional verbiage making fun of Bush and, among other things, accusing him of being addicted to cocaine. Depictions of Bush, cocaine and alcohol were also present on the sleeves. After plaintiff had worn this shirt several times over a period of weeks, another student complained to a teacher, but was informed that the shirt constituted political speech, protected by law. However, after receiving a complaint from a parent, the defendant in the case, a school employee, asked the student to cover up the parts of the shirt pertaining to drugs and alcohol, or turn the shirt inside-out, or wear a different shirt, in accordance with the school system's dress code, which prohibits "any aspect of a" student's "appearance, which constitutes a real hazard to the health and safety of self and others or is otherwise distracting," (emphasis added) including "[c]lothing displaying alcohol, drugs, violence, obscenity, and racism."

The student refused, and after the student's father had the opportunity to speak with the superintendent, the defendant school administrator completed a "discipline referral form" and sent the student home. After the student returned to school, he wore the T-shirt covered by duct tape (as required by the school), on top of which was written the word "censored."

The student sued the school administrators (the student support specialist, the principal and the superintendent) in order to have the disciplinary referral expunged from his record, and to enjoin the school from enforcing the dress code policy against him. The district court, applying the Supreme Court precedent set in Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser, held that the images depicted on the shirt were "plainly offensive or inappropriate" and that the school was therefore entitled to enforce its dress-code policy, but also ordered the expungement of the offense from the student's disciplinary record. Both the plaintiffs and the defendant appealed.

the issue decided by the court

Can a school discipline a student for wearing a shirt that displays images of drugs and alcohol as part of a political message?

the decision of the court

The court of appeals held that the T-shirt, in spite of its depiction of drugs and alcohol, was protected speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.

In its decision, the court analyzed the facts in light of the following three Supreme Court cases: Tinker v. Des Moines Indep. Cmty. Sch. Dist., 393 U.S. 503 (1969), Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser, 478 U.S. 675 (1986) and Hazelwood Sch. Dist. v. Kuhlmeier, 484 U.S. 260 (1988).

In Tinker, the United States Supreme Court held that a school may not ban students from wearing black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War. The Tinker case thus stands for the proposition that "a student may 'express his opinions, even on controversial subjects . . . if he does so without materially and substantially interfer[ing] with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school and without colliding with the rights of others,' Tinker 393 U.S. at 513 (alteration in original). The rule of Tinker has come to mean that a school may not regulate student expression unless the regulation may be 'justified by a showing that the student['s] [speech] would materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school.'"

In Fraser, however, the Supreme Court held that a school could discipline a student for making a speech at a public assembly that "is 'vulgar,' 'lewd,' 'indecent,' or 'plainly offensive.'" Fraser can be thought of as an exception to the general rule set forth in Tinker: student speech is generally protected under the Constitution, but the protection does not apply if the speech is "plainly offensive." Whether Guiles' T-shirt was plainly offensive or not was a question of first impression in the Second Circuit; in this case, considering an analogous decision in Frederick v. Morse, 439 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2006), the court held that the T-shirt is not "plainly offensive," and therefore falls within the protection of the Constitution as interpreted in Tinker, rather than being subject to regulation in accordance with Fraser. [The holding in Frederick v. Morse was subsequently overruled by the Supreme Court, but this does not affect the precedential value of Guiles v. Marineau within the Second Circuit. ]

In Hazelwood, the Supreme Court permitted schools to regulate the content of a school newspaper, on the grounds that there is a "distinction between school-sponsored speech and student speech.". The student's T-shirt was not school-sponsored, nor was there any appearance of sponsorship by the school, and therefore Hazelwood was inapplicable in this case.

Finally, the Guiles court held that the plaintiff's rights were violated even by the limited intervention of the school staff (who had given the plaintiff the choice of changing shirts, wearing the shirt inside out, or covering the depictions of drugs and alcohol). The court stated that "[t]he pictures" that the school administrators wanted the student to obscure "are an important part of the political message" that he "wished to convey, accentuating the anti-drug (and anti-Bush) message. By covering them defendants diluted" the student's "message, blunting its force and impact. Such censorship may be justified under Tinker only when the substantial disruption test is satisfied." As the student had worn the shirt on several days with no disruption to classroom activities, there are no grounds for the school to take any action against him.

applicability

This decision only applies to cases involving political speech by students in public schools. The judges in this case intentionally leave open the question of whether a school may prohibit clothing that carries a pro-drug message. Furthermore, the case does not apply to school-sponsored speech, nor does it apply to private schools.

Additionally, as noted above, one of the decisions that the court cited in this case has been subsequently overruled.

National Catholic Church of America (NCCA)

According to the church, the National Catholic Church of America (NCCA) is an apostolic, independent Catholic body, that offers an affirming spiritual life through its ministries. Its ministry celebrates God's all-embracing love, as revealed in the redemptive mission of the Lord Jesus Christ. This church falls under the category of Catholicism that is not in Communion with Rome and is an autocephalous Church of the old catholic spiritual tradition which falls within the independent ecumenical jurisdiction of the National Catholic Church of America.

Members of this church express the desire to offer people of God an opportunity to worship and grow together in a Christian community. The NCCA preserves the richness of their Catholic heritage, while reflecting the cultural diversity of western civilization. They see cultural and ethnic variety, scientific and technological advances, and opportunity to affirm human rights and dignity as fertile ground for the message of Christ for the whole world.

One of its prominent orders is the Order of Saint John the Divine (OSJD).

The Barter Network

The Barter Network was founded in 2006 by Gary Jason Bergenske, President and CEO, as a commercial trading network of companies. The Barter Network has grown to over 500 companies. These companies trade among each other using a medium of exchange called a trade dollar. In 2007, the 500 members of The Barter Network conducted over $5.7 million in trade sales and purchases using the The Barter Network trading network.

The Barter Network provides a marketplace for businesses to exchange goods and services. Members enjoy increased sales, cash flow and profit. Florida Barter recruits members through referrals and its direct sales force, facilitates sales and purchases by members, and acts as a third-party record keeper, providing transaction processing of debits and credits of its trade dollars.

2006 - 2007 The Early Years

The Barter Network in 2006 orginally opened its doors in Sanford Florida just outside of Orlando. In November of 2007 they outgrew their standalone 1 story centroplex and moved to the upclass Winter Park Florida, only minutes from Downtown Orlando.

2008 Continuos Growth

Some call them the new kids on the block, some call them a change in the barter industry, either way they are paving the way for a barter revolution. The Barter Network is defying all of the limitations that their competitors have set for their success. Their goals have been to keep up to date with technology, provide great customer service, and grow at a rate of 30-40 members per month.

These goals were set for accountability to their members, to show them not only that they are working hard but that they are doing business responsibly and honestly. These goals have improved The Barter Network so dramatically that their competitors took notice and adding them to their company’s goals as well.

Tax Implications

In the United States, it is generally not possible to avoid income taxes by bartering one's services. According to the IRS, "The fair market value of goods and services exchanged must be included in the income of both parties." The barter in many cases must be reported on Form 1099-B and Schedule C.

Oceanic Worldwide

Template:Tlx Template:Tlx Oceanic Worldwide is an American scuba diving company.

History and ongoing developments

Oceanic Worldwide founder and CEO Bob Hollis took up SCUBA diving in the late 1950’s when recreational diving was still in its infancy. His love for diving soon led to a keen interest in underwater photography, a hobby that required him to create his own specialized equipment. With a degree in mechanical engineering, it was natural for Hollis to start designing and manufacturing underwater camera and strobe housings in the machine shop behind the Anchor Shack, the retail sporting goods store he’d opened in Hayward, California in 1965. Before long, divers and others were asking Hollis to make equipment for them, and a successful mail order business was begun.

In 1972, Hollis founded American Underwater Products, doing business as Oceanic. The company started out with a dozen diving products, including the Anchor Shack’s photo line. After four years, Hollis took a big leap forward when he acquired Farallon, a manufacturer in nearby Belmont. That acquisition instantly gave Oceanic a full line of diving equipment, with an innovative line of instrumentation products. “I saw digital instrumentation as the key to the future of diving,” explains Hollis. “Divers need to quickly and accurately calculate many variables, such as their depth, safe dive times, and decompression requirements to avoid the bends.” After the acquisition, Oceanic went to work researching and developing radically new instruments. In 1981, the company introduced the DataMax, the first mechanical depth gauge with automatic digital timer. The product was an instant hit and propelled Oceanic to the forefront of dive equipment suppliers.

In the early 1980s, Hollis helped introduce the concept of an electronic dive computer to the industry. These sophisticated instruments track, calculate, and display a wealth of critical information for divers, including dive time and depth, ascent rate, air consumption, nitrogen absorption, and other essential information needed to dive safely. The dive computer revolutionized diving safety and is considered a mandatory piece of equipment for all divers. Hollis considers his role in developing this technology his proudest professional accomplishment.

Tauhei Combined School is a four teacher rural school located 13 km North West of Morrinsville and 35 km East of Hamilton. The Tauhei Hall is situated next to us and is often used for bigger events such as gymnastics, concerts and productions.

History

Tauhei School opened its doors to the children of the early settlers of the district in 1909. The original school was converted from a workman’s hut and was better known then as “the shanty on the hill”.

The present Tauhei School was built in 1914. A new block consisting of a classroom, working bay and staffroom was built in 1955.

In 1968 the old original block was remodelled and an additional prefab classroom transported to the school. This was later purchased by the Board of Trustees and fully refurbished by the PTA.

In 1969 the senior pupils began attending Morrinsville Intermediate School.

The whole school was remodelled in 1992/93.

In 2002 Hoe-O-Tainui School and Tauhei School merged. The playground from Hoe-O-Tainui was re-sited at Tauhei and in 2003 Tauhei School was renamed Tauhei Combined School.

This is a good attempt, but the school itself doesn't appear to be notable. Very few primary schools are. The school website is a primary source; that's a valuable resource but can't be used to establish notability. The tki and ero review are also valuable resources which exist for every school in New Zealand. The other references - zenbu and oldfriends - provide little of value to a Wikipedia article. To establish notability, you'd need several references in published books and newspapers which explain why this school is significantly different from every other rural primary school in the country.

The first paragraph is a copyright violation of the school website.

I note that you are a registered user; you can create articles directly rather than coming through this process. I suggest you create an article on the locality of Tauhei, since geographical localities are notable by default, and include a paragraph on the school there. See the article I created yesterday on Pipiwai for an example of an article on a locality with a primary school. If you don't create the article on Tauhei, I will eventually although it may take me a year or two to get around to it - there's a lot of localities to create articles on and I'm presently working on Northland.-gadfium 19:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Turnaround (refining)

Template:Tlx Turnarounds are scheduled events wherein an entire process unit of an industrial plant (refinery, petrochemical plant, power plant, pulp and paper mill, etc.) is taken offstream for an extended period for revamp and/or renewal. Turnaround is a blanket term that encompasses more specific terms such as I&Ts (Inspection & Testing), debottlenecking projects, revamps and catalyst regeneration projects. Turnaround can also be used as a synonym of Shutdowns and Outages.

Turnarounds are expensive - both in terms of lost production while the process unit is offline and in terms of direct costs for the labor, tools, heavy equipment and materials used to execute the project. They are the most significant portion of a plant's yearly maintenance budget and can affect the company's bottom line if mismanaged. Turnarounds have unique project management characteristics which make them volatile and challenging.

General Purpose Heat Source

The General Purpose Heat Source is a stackable, compact unit designed to deliver over 600 degrees centigrade to a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) or a Stirling Radioisotope Generator (SRG), generating 250 watts per unit at the beginning of a mission when used with an RTG, unknown with an SRG. These units are designed to supply heat consistently and safely over a wide range of extreme conditions. They measure 9.948 cm wide x 9.32 cm deep x 5.82 cm high and weigh no more than 1.44 kg each.

Safety

GPHSs are designed with safety in mind an employ Plutonium-238 pellets encased in iridium to generate alpha particles which are completely absorbed in the heat source to produce heat; thus, no special radiation shielding is necessary to absorb these particles. The resulting iridium-clad plutonium pellets are encased within nested layers of carbon-based material and placed within an aeroshell housing to comprise the complete GPHS-module.

Black Partridge (chief)

Black Partridge or Black Pheasant (Potawatomi: Mucketeypokee, Mucktypoke, Mka-da-puk-ke, Muccutay Penay, Makadebakii, Makdébki) (c. 1745-1816?) was a 19th century Peoria Lake Pottawatomie chieftain. Although a participant in the Northwest Indian War and the Peoria War, he was considered very friendly to early American settlers and was a longtime advocate of peaceful relations with the United States. He and his brother Chief Wabaunsee both attempted to protect settlers during the Fort Dearborn massacre when they were unsucessful in preventing the attack.

A memorial at the site of the massacre in present-day Chicago, Illinois includes a statue of Black Hawk preventing a tomahawk from hitting a Mrs. Margaret Helm, the wife of one of the defenders at Fort Dearborn. Black Partridge Woods, a state park in Cook County, Illinois, as well as Partridge Township in Woodford County, Illinois is named in his honor.

Biography

Black Partridge is first recorded during the Northwest Indian War as a war chief under Matchekewis at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. He was later awarded a silver medal, with an engraving of President George Washington, from General "Mad" Anthony Wayne at the signing of the Treaty of Greenville on August 3, 1795; another account claims the medal was presented to him by General Harrison at the Treaty of Fort Wayne on September 30, 1809 and had the engraving of President James Madison. He wore the medal for several years afterwards to symbolize the Pottowatomie's friendship with American settlers. One of the Pottawatomie chieftains wishing to remain neutral during Tecumseh's War, he and Gomo refused to ally with Shawnee chieftain Tecumseh when approached by him during the summer of 1810. Black Partridge said to Tecumseh,

Although he was a strong supporter of peace, he was unable to control the younger tribal members and warriors eager to join Tecumseh's fight. He unsuccessfully tried to dissuade the Pottawatomie from joining the attack at Fort Dearborn and, on the evening of August 14, 1812, he rode ahead of the main force arriving at Dearborn to return the medal to the fort commandant, Captain Nathan Heald.

During the ensuing Fort Dearborn massacre, he and his brother Wabaunsee tried to protect the settlers from the atrocities being carried out by the attackers. Black Partridge apparently saved the life of a Mrs. Margaret Helm, the wife of Lieutenant Helm and step-daughter of Indian trader John Kinzie, by holding her underwater under the appearance of drowning her in Lake Michigan. He later had her taken to a nearby Indian camp where her wounds were dressed by a squaw-mother. Black Partridge also helped free her husband who was being held captive by the Red Head Chief at Kankakee. Delivering the ransom on behalf on U.S. Indian Agent Thomas Forsyth, he voluntarily offered his pony, rifle and a gold ring along with the written order for $100 by General George Rodgers Clark.

Returning to his village on Peoria Lake however, he found his village had been burned by the Illinois Rangers from Edwardsville under orders from Governor Ninian Edwards. Among the massacred villages included his daughter and his grandchild. Taking 200 warriors from nearby villages, as well as 100 from Shequenebec and another 100 from Mittitass, he joined in the attack against Fort Clark on September 19, 1813 although this attack was repulsed by the fort's defenders. Black Hawk, then a young warrior, was also present at the attack. Black Partridge and his band eventually surrendered after being driven back to Fort Clark by General Henry Dodge and Major Zachary Taylor He was one of the 13 chieftains escorted by Colonel George Davenport to St. Louis where peace was signed between the Pottawatomie and the United States. He was a later signatory of several treaties between the Pottawatomie and the United States government.

In popular culture

He is portrayed in several historical novels including:

• Myrtle Reed's The Shadow of Victory: A Romance of Fort Dearborn (1903)
• Randall Parrish's When Wilderness was King: A Tale of the Illinois Country (1904)
• H.R. Gordon's Black Partridge, or The Fall of Fort Dearborn (1906)
• Julia Cooley Altrocchi's Wolves Against the Moon (1957)
• Jerry Crimmins's Fort Dearborn: A Novel (2006)

St. Mary Bishophill Junior, York

It is generally agreed that this is the oldest church within the city walls. The site of the church was the colonia or civil quarter of the Roman garrison of Eboracum and elements of Roman stonework can be found in the Tower. There are also fragments of pre-Conquest stonework inside this church.

St. Mary Bishophill Junior at Resurrection Sunday. York. England

The tower is built of stone from the Roman period and is quite unique, and it is one of its main architectual features.
