The initial symptoms of lead poisoning are non-specific and may be due to other causes and it is therefore easy to misdiagnose the disease or overlook it entirely. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pains, constipation, irratibility, anorexia, and list- lessness.

    3/8/2017 Ed Garvey, Leader of N.F.L. Players’ Union, Dies at 76 ­ The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2lxojG9 PRO FOOTBALL Ed Garvey, Leader of N.F.L. Players’ Union, Dies at 76 By RICHARD SANDOMIR FEB. 22, 2017 Ed Garvey, who led the National Football League players’ union to two strikes during a dozen years as its executive director and later became a progressive political activist and officeseeker in his native Wisconsin, died on Wednesday in Verona, Wis. He was 76. The union confirmed his death. Mr. Garvey joined the N.F.L. Players Association in 1971 seeking to bring economic and social freedom to players who had experienced little of either in the era before free agency. Atop his wish list was eliminating a rule, named for the league’s commissioner, Pete Rozelle, that restricted the ability of a player, once his contract was over, to sign with another franchise by requiring his new team to compensate his old team with players or draft choices. If teams could not agree on compensation, Mr. Rozelle determined it. “In 1974, we struck over that: ‘no freedom, no football,’” Mr. Garvey said in 2010 during an interview on “I Remember,” a public television program in Milwaukee. The summertime strike ended in early August, and the players instead 9 Get up to 40% off The Time ucription of our choice.

  • Todd: There Is Some Great Stuff Here
    Forum on Public Policy Secular Humanism vs. Religion? The Liberal Democratic Education Tradition and the Battle over Vouchers in the USA Todd Alan Price, Assistant Professor of Educational Foundations and Inquiry, National-Louis University Abstract Since Mueller vs. Allen (1983), several legal decisions have attempted to clarify what is the appropriate relationship between religion and public education in a democratic society. During this time, the United States legal system has shifted, moving the historic “establishment clause” away from a strict “separationist” view and toward an “accommodationist” interpretation.1 This major philosophical shift correlates with other landmark legal decisions; one finds publicly sponsored vouchers for private and religious schools are constitutional,2 another argues publicly sponsored for-profit charter schools are permissible.3 With faith-based initiatives signaling that the trend toward public financing of religious education is emerging as a full-blown wave, under TITLE V-PROMOTING INFORMED PARENTAL CHOICE AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA), the federal department of education asserts that publicly sponsored, for-profit supplemental educational services are not only allowable, but need to be encouraged. Two major legal cases in particular have fueled this legitimization of the notion of ‘school choice,’ the first concerning vouchers and the second concerning charter schools as public schools: • Zelman, Superintendent of Public Instruction of Ohio, et al. v.

  • 2015-2016 Wisconsin Blue Book: Chapter 8
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 675 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

Garvey was appointed legal counsel to the National Football League Players Association in 1970 and became Executive Director in 1971, a position he held until 1983.
