Story, 3A. suicide Lawsuit says science teacher bullied child, who took his own life. By CARL MCKINNEY HANGIN’ OUT [email protected] The mother of a Suwannee High School student who killed himself IN LAKE CITY with a hunting rifle nearly two years ago is suing the Suwannee County School District, alleging the ninth grader’s suicide was the result of repeat bullying and harassment from his teacher. Gloria Simmons, the parent of SHS student Kaleb Simmons, 14 when he died, filed a lawsuit in the Third Judicial Circuit on Oct. 5 accusing teacher Jerry Jolicoeur of exhibiting an “open, notorious, and protracted pattern of bullying by systematically and chronically inflicting hurt or psychological dis- tress” on the student.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

  • Watchmen (Zack Snyder, 2009)
    IN FOCUS: The Long Shadows of 9/11 Science Fiction, Thrillers, and the War on Terror Introduction by WILL BROOKER, editor eptember 11, Jacques Derrida observed, had by October 2001 already become “a date or a dating that has taken over our pub- lic space and our private lives.” The very process of naming transformed the attacks of the previous month into “an event that truly marks, that truly makes its mark, a singular and . unprec- Sedented event.”1 Ten years later, the terrain has changed. It is harder now simply to repeat the mantra “9/11,” like a recurring nightmare or a conjuring spell, “over and over again as if its singularity were so absolute that it could not be matched.”2 Two important recent books on the im- pact of September 11 on fi lm and popular culture—Stephen Prince’s Firestorm and Jeff Birkenstein, Anna Froula, and Karen Randell’s Re- framing 9/11—demonstrate even in their subtitles that the single date is no longer enough to capture the complexity of the United States’ relationship with terror over the past decade, and that the black-and- white signifi er of “9/11,” its digits so neatly recalling both the phone number for US emergency services and the formerly standing tow- ers, is no longer enough to contain all the ethically gray areas within and around that opposition.3 Prince’s volume covers not just 9/11 but “American Film in the Age of Terrorism,” while Reframing 9/11 reposi- tions the once-monumental, singular date in broader terms of “Film, Popular Culture and the ‘War on Terror.’” From the cover onward, those quotation marks around “war on terror” retain a skeptical dis- tance from the Bush administration’s attempt to narrate and justify its actions in terms of military urgency.

Seay III - 2 - INTRODUCTION The Wild Bunch celebrates its sixth birthday in 2006. This revised playbook reflects the lessons learned during that period by Wild Bunch coaches on three continents operating at every level from coaching 8-year-olds to semi-professionals. The biggest change so far in the offense has been the addition in 2004 of the Rocket Sweep series (pp. 62-72). A public high school in Chicago and a semi-pro team in New Jersey both reached their championship game using the new Rocket-fueled Wild Bunch. A youth team in Utah won its state championship running the offense practically verbatim from the playbook. A number of coaches have requested video resources on the Wild Bunch, and I am happy to say a DVD project is taking shape which will feature not only game footage but extensive whiteboard analysis of the offense, as well as information on its installation.

  • Former Titans Head Coach Mike Munchak Brings 37 Years of NFL Experience As Broncos Candidate by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan
    Former Titans head coach Mike Munchak brings 37 years of NFL experience as Broncos candidate By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan. 5, 2019 Consecutive wins to end the 2013 season allowed the Tennessee Titans to finish 7-9 under third-year coach Mike Munchak. Many believed he would be fired. Ultimately Munchak was dismissed but not until he turned down a contract extension and raise in salary when he refused to fire multiple assistant coaches. Fast forward to Friday, when Munchak, 58, was at the Broncos’ facility interviewing with general manager John Elway, president/CEO Joe Ellis and others for the opening created by Vance Joseph’s firing on Monday. Munchak’s loyalty is to be applauded, but the formation of his potential coaching staff should be a major topic of discussion. Munchak is the third known candidate to meet with the Broncos, who interviewed Chuck Pagano (Wednesday) and Zac Taylor (Thursday). On the docket are Brian Flores (Saturday) and Vic Fangio (Monday). Since leaving the Titans, Munchak has been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach. Last January, he removed himself from consideration for the Arizona Cardinals’ head coaching position. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers requested an interview. Munchak checks two of the boxes Elway is assumed to want: Previous head-coaching experience and a background on offense. He played 12 years at guard for the Houston Oilers, was named to the Pro Bowl nine times, twice selected All Pro and, in 2001 was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. To his credit, Munchak didn’t use his playing status to take short cuts in coaching.
