He then noted that 6 the Oklahoma delegation recently held phone conferences with Southeast about the possibility of 7 Oklahoma joining Southeast and the Oklahoma Delegation believes it is in the best interest going 8 forward to leave the HOA and join Southeast. The change will not go into effect until the close of the 9 2018 Interim Meeting. 10 11 The following physicians served on the Oklahoma American Medical Association (AMA) Delegation 12 for 2018. 13 Delegates: Sherri Baker, MD, Jack Beller, MD, Jay Gregory, MD, and Bruce L.

Report of the AMA Delegation A-2019 Page 2 1 Advancing gender equity in medicine 2 Documented gaps exist in compensation and career advancement between male physicians and their 3 female counterparts, even after accounting for other factors and characteristics. 4 Promoting diversity in the U.S. medical workforce 5 With large areas of the country facing a physician shortage, the AMA called on the government to clear 6 the backlog for conversion from H1-B visas for physicians to permanent resident status. 7 Reporting child abuse and neglect in military families 8 Rates of maltreatment of military children continue to climb.

    Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994). Papers, 1927-1985 22 feet Ollie Tucker Osborne's papers detail the activities of one of Louisiana's leading advocates of women's rights during the 1970s. Ollie was extremely active in the League of Women Voters and the Evangeline ERA coalition. She attended conferences or workshops throughout the South. She was appointed to the 1977 state women's convention in Baton Rouge and was elected a state delegate to the national convention in Houston. She helped organize or coordinate a number of workshops and conferences in Louisiana on women's rights. Much of this often frenetic activity can be seen through her papers. Osborne was born in northern Louisiana and educated at Whitmore College and Louisiana State University. Just before graduation she married Louis Birk, a salesman for McGraw-Hill & Company, and moved to New York. After several false starts Osborne launched a career in public relations and advertising which she pursued for twenty years. This included some pioneering work in television advertising. Following the sudden death of Birk in 1952, Osborne returned to Louisiana where she met and married Robert Osborne, an English professor at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette). During the next two decades she was busy as president of Birk & Company, a publisher of reading rack pamphlets. Osborne's introduction to politics at the state level was as an official League of Women Voters observer of the 1973 Constitutional Convention. Early in the year she determined that some on-going communication link was necessary to allay voter fear and apathy about the new constitution.

In the article Jenkins claims Ms. Morris’ legal bills to the City “include substantial fees for the time she spent ‘redacting’ her pre- vious bills and then ‘unredacting’ those same bills.” In her letter Ms. Morris, who only last week was reconfi rmed by the City Council as Central’s City Attorney, addresses the entire process undertaken by the City in response to the records request for legal bills. The letter, presented in its entirety below, explains that by law Central’s attor- ney-client privilege must be protected, even in a public records request, and that only the City Council and Mayor can waive that privilege. The letter specifi cally refutes and calls “false” all claims by Jenkins that the City of Central was charged for the “redact- Photo by Expressions Photography ing” or “unredacting” of legal bills.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Louisiana Law Review by an authorized editor of LSU Law Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. NOTES EXPROPRIATION: COMPENSATING THE LANDOWNER TO THE FULL EXTENT OF HIS LOSS The state highway department expropriated the entire parking and loading area of the defendants' marina. The trial court calculated the compensation award on the basis of the cost of con- structing a similar area on the opposite shore of the marina's boat slip. The First Circuit Court of Appeal, although recognizing that the 1974 constitution had widened the scope of compensatory damages, reduced the award to what it found to be the market value of the land.1 The supreme court reversed and held that article I, sec- tion 42 of the Louisiana Constitution of 1974 requires compensation for any economic loss sustained by the property owner, including the cost of replacing his business facilities. State v. Constant, 369 So. 2d 699 (La. 1979). Historically, the standard for compensatory damages in ex- propriation cases in Louisiana has been based on the concept of "just compensation" embodied in the fifth amendment 3 to the United 1.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.
