As Project South heads down to Jacksonville, Florida for Marissa Alexander's final hearing, we reflect on our work in alliance with New Jim Crow Movement over the last two and a half years of confrontation with DA Angela Corey's version of state violence. In 1965, Bull Connor in Birmingham and Sheriff Jim Clark in Selma represented the face of white supremacy and were important guardians of cruelty protecting Jim Crow South as local law enforcement. In public protests, they knocked heads into concrete, tear gassed crowds, and unapologetically defended organized racism. Angela Corey, the top cop District Attorney in Florida's 4th district represents the face of this history today, reflecting a growing trend of 21st century racist cruelty that incarcerates teenagers and domestic abuse survivors while letting murderers walk out without consequence.

This thesis examines the injury incidence associated with playing professional rugby league, and examines some of the risks associated with injury whilst playing the game. The first paper describes the pattern of injury incidence in professional rugby league and noted that it is higher than in other popular team sports. The second paper examines the different exposures of forward and back players and observes that forwards experience higher rates of injury. The third and fourth papers examine the effect of moving the playing calendar to summer rugby.

  • Movement Demands of Elite Rugby League Players During Australian National Rugby League and European Super League Matches
    International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2014, 9, 925-930 http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2013-0270 © 2014 Human Kinetics, Inc. www.IJSPP-Journal.com ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION Movement Demands of Elite Rugby League Players During Australian National Rugby League and European Super League Matches Craig Twist, Jamie Highton, Mark Waldron, Emma Edwards, Damien Austin, and Tim J. Gabbett Purpose: This study compared the movement demands of players competing in matches from the elite Australian and European rugby league competitions. Methods: Global positioning system devices were used to measure 192 performances of forwards, adjustables, and outside backs during National Rugby League (NRL; n = 88) and European Super League (SL; n = 104) matches. Total and relative distances covered overall and at low (0–3.5 m/s), moderate (3.6–5 m/s), and high (>5 m/s) speeds were measured alongside changes in movement variables across the early, middle, and late phases of the season. Results: The relative distance covered in SL matches (95.8 ± 18.6 m/min) was significantly greater (P < .05) than in NRL matches (90.2 ± 8.3 m/min). Relative low-speed activity (70.3 ± 4.9 m/min vs 75.5 ± 18.9 m/min) and moderate-speed running (12.5 ± 3.3 m m/min vs 14.2 ± 3.8 m/min) were highest (P < .05) in the SL matches, and relative high-speed distance was greater (P < .05) during NRL matches (7.8 ± 2.1 m/min vs 6.1 ± 1.7 m/min). Conclusions: NRL players have better maintenance of high-speed running between the first and second halves of matches and perform less low- and moderate-speed activity, indicating that the NRL provides a higher standard of rugby league competition than the SL.

  • Trayvon Martin Shooting Fast Facts by CNN Library Updated 1:48 PM EST, Sat February 22, 2014 CNN.Com
    http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/05/us/trayvon-martin-shooting-fast-facts/ Trayvon Martin Shooting Fast Facts By CNN Library updated 1:48 PM EST, Sat February 22, 2014 CNN.com (CNN) -- Here's a look at what you need to know about the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012. Former neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman was acquitted of the crime in July 2013. Facts: Trayvon Benjamin Martin, born February 5, 1995, was a 17-year-old African-American high school student who lived in Miami Gardens, Florida with his mother Sybrina Fulton. In February 2012, Martin was visting his father Tracy Martin in Sanford, Florida after receiving a ten-day suspension from Krop Senior High School. The suspension stemmed from the discovery of drug residue in Martin's book bag. George Michael Zimmerman, born October 5, 1983, was a part-time student at Seminole State College and a neighborhood watch captain at the Retreat at Twin Lakes gated community in Sanford at the time of the shooting. He is married to Shellie (Dean) Zimmerman and is the son of Robert and Gladys Zimmerman. Timeline: February 26, 2012 - George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Florida, calls 911 to report "a suspicious person" in the neighborhood. He is instructed not to get out of his SUV or approach the person. Zimmerman disregards the instructions. Moments later, neighbors report hearing gunfire. Zimmerman acknowledges that he shot Martin, claiming it was in self-defense. In a police report, Officer Timothy Smith writes that Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and back of the head.

  • Florida's "Stand Your Ground" Law and the Problem of Retributive Justice
    Ted Lewandowski (Uniwersytet Opolski) FLORIDA’S ‘STAND YOUR GROUND’ LAW AND THE PROBLEM OF RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE ABSTRACT Th e United States has a strong legal tradition of sanctioning self-defense, going as far back as the Supreme Court’s 1895 ruling in Beard v. US (158 U.S. 550). Beard codifi ed the ‘castle doctrine’ – a long-standing legal defense that holds citizens are in the right when protecting themselves within the walls of their homes or on their own property. Florida’s 2005 ‘stand your ground’ legislation represents a further step in America’s self-defense evolution, allowing individuals to use deadly force without recourse to retreat, even outside their homes, when they perceive a threat. Th is paper examines the Florida law, arguing that ‘stand your ground’ has the clear potential for denying retributive justice. KEY WORDS: Florida ‘stand your ground’ law, self-defense, retributive justice, Tray- von Martin shooting. On the night of February 26, 2012, seventeen-year-old African-Amer- ican high school student Trayvon Martin left the house of his father’s fi ancé in Sanford, Florida, to buy some candy and an iced tea. While returning from the corner store, he was spotted by twenty-eight-year-old neighborhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman, who fi nding the teen’s behavior suspicious, called 9-1-1.1 Th ough the attending operator advised not to give chase, Zimmerman, who was armed with a handgun, left his vehicle to pursue his suspect. What exactly occurred next has yet to be fully established, save that a physical altercation ensued in which 1 “Zimmerman Charged with Second-Degree Murder.” CNN.

MAIN OBJECTIVES To address this, the Governance Foundation Project [GFP] has created a tiered Membership structure of the RLEF – Bronze [Observer status], Silver [Affiliate Member], Gold [Full Member] – where best practice and the principles of good governance will be promoted, and the cooperation between partners will develop the European dimension throughout rugby league, itself a young sport on the Continent, [foundation date of January 2003]. Use of Mentors and Learners provides innovation. ACTIVITIES In addition to utilising the Mentor-Learner system inherent in the GFP throughout a series of transnational exchanges, the project will utilise partnerships with more established European sports, namely football, to explore and cultivate good governance, using a series of seminars, technical visits and on-line tutorials and resources such as e-learning. RESULTS The objectives of the GFP are in line with the RLEF strategy, strengthening capacity building throughout and specifically elevating Learners from Bronze to Gold by project completion.
