s has long been and will continue to be one of dA major trend in theoretical work on prey-predator dynamics has been to derive more realistic models, trying to keep to maximum the unavoidable increase in complexity of their mathematics [1]. In this optic, recent years, the important Leslie-Gower predator-prey model [2, 3] has been extensively studied in [4–7]. A modified version of  where and represent prey and predator population densities at time , respectively. , aey . describes the growth rate of predator . measure .o which is not available in abundance. y the predator .
On the other hand[1]. For some predator-prey systems, the rate of the prey population depends on the predation of predator in the earlier times [8–14]. The results indicated that delas since a time delay couldinduce bifurcations.
In this paper, we will focus on the complex dynamics of the delay effect in the extended reaction-diffusion model. The reproduction of the individuals is modeled by diffusion with diffusion coefficients and for the prey and predator, respectively. This basic model is described: where , . , is a bounded open domain in with boundary , is the outward unit normal vector on , and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions reflect the situation where the population cannot move across the boundary of the domain. And we incorporate a single discrete delay in the negative feedback of the predator's density.
Case 2 (, i.e., ). (i)If , that is, , model (1) has a unique positive equilibrium ;(ii)If , that is, , (4) has no positive root; hence model (1) has no positive equilibrium.
Case 3 (, i.e., ). (i) Suppose that , that is, , then(i1) if , that is, , model (1) has two positive equilibria and ; (i2) if , that is, , (4) has a unique positive root of multiplicity given by , then model (1) has a unique positive equilibrium ; (i3) i; (iiWe show the bifurcation diagram to display the distribute of the positive roots; in Figure 1, the whole region has been divided into six parts; the number indicates the number of positive equilibria.

The dashed curve is the -nullcline , and the dotted curve is the -nullcline .
Proof. Let be a pair of roots of (27); substituting into (27), then we have Separating the real part from image part, we have then where Obviously, if , is true. Thus (31) has no positive roots for all . Hence, all the roots of (27) have negative real part. This completes the proof.
Lemma 4. For , if(H1) holds, then for .
Define where is defined in the appendix. Then we can get the following theorem.
The proof is deferred to the appendix.
In this paper, we have considered a modified version of Leslie-Gower model with Holling-type II functional and delayed diffusive predator-prey modelvalue of this study lies in two folds. First, it presents local asymptotic stability of the equilibria of model with and without delay and the existence of Hopf bifurcation, which indicates that the dynamics induced by time delay are rich and complex. Second, it give the analysis of direction and stability of spatial Hopf bifurcation, from which one can find that small sufficiently delays cannot change the stability of the positive equilibrium and large delays cannot only destabilize the positive equilibrium but also induce oscillatory behaviors near the positive equilibrium.
The solutions of model (2) tends to aperiodically oscillatory orbit. The parameters are taken as , , , , , , , and the initial values , . , . In this case, .
From Section 2, we know that are a pair of simple purely imaginary eigenvalues of the liner system where , and is defined by .
Then the center subspace of model (A.4) is , and the adjoint subspace is . Let , where Let be defined by for . Hence the center subspace of linear system (A.4) is given by , where and , where is the stable subspace.

constableDFWpainting I Dallas Residential Painting l Fort Worth Residential Painting I House Painting I Paint Contractor I Constable Painting
I needed to paint the exterior of my house and wasn’t finding a company who gave a good price AND quality service… That is until I called Constable Painting! They came out gave me a quote (GREAT PRICE) and started the following day! I absolutely LOVE my “new” home!! Very reliable- they kept me updated everyday with what was going on. I will definitely be referring them to family and friends!
Very conscientious, on time, in budget and great work! This company came out, gave us a free estimate and helped us pick the right type of paint. They communicated very well and was able to get the job done fast and for a great price without a compromise in professional quality!
Constable Painting is by far the best paint contractor I have ever done business with. I interviewed several paint contractors when my wife and I decided to have our home painted. Not only did they offer the best price, they were the most helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this company to anyone! Completely satisfied!
I can’t say enough good things about Constable Painting.  I was in town for a short time closing escrow on my new home and I needed to coordinate an interior paint job for it ASAP.  I called several painters and received answering machines and promises to meet me “tomorrow,” but when I explained my plight to Constable Painting they showed up in THIRTY MINUTES to give me an estimate! (30 minutes!!!!)
My husband was so impressed with this painting company that we hired him on he spot whereas we normally interview at least four other people/companies before selecting one.  Constable Painting did an INCREDIBLE job–they were on time, stayed within our budget, courteous, respectful and clean and did an excellent job on our home.
Trust me–you will LOVE this company.
When they say “on time and on budget” they mean it. This was the easiest part of our remodeling project. Eliseo was so easy to work with and he knew what he was doing. I only wish we had known about him when we had the interior done. He did an excellent job with the exterior painting, above and beyond our expectations. Best painter ever!
“Constable Painting was prompt to their appointments, accommodating to our requests, and very clean and professional. During the “walk around” I could not find one single thing that needed additional attention! The products used and the personal application process is second to none. We highly recommend Constable Painting!”
“I have used Constable Painting to paint 3 rooms in our home and recently was pleased to have Constable finish the paint on our newly renovated sunroom/playroom. Their attention to detail is second to none. They finished the job in a timely manner and treated our home with respect. I would recommend Constable Painting to anyone wanting quality service at an affordable price”
“Thank you for getting our work done so quickly. Both jobs were very well done. Constable Painting has always given us fine service and we appreciate it.”
“We have had our home painted over the years, but NEVER have had such a wonderful end result. It looks a brand new house. They were very careful with all our plants and shrubs which I was initially concerned about. They cleaned up thoroughly after ending each day. Were professional and respectful. Thank you!!!”
I adore this hard working family! They have painted my home and many of my friends’ homes and they are excellent. Very trustworthy, friendly, and kind. I would recommend them highly!
I wouldn’t call anyone else to do my painting. Professional family of painters who do an impeccable job.


After last year's swelteringly hot conditions, runners were greeted with more temperate conditions this year, with just a stiff breeze to compete with in the 2nd half of the race. Having shown signs of coming back to form, Shona Crombie-Hicks was again the star of the day. Up against stiff inter-club competition and the hard battle for 1st Lady, Shona triumphed on both scores - winning the 1st Lady prize by a clear 3 minutes, taking bragging rights by leading home all the TRC runners…and breaking her own V45 club record with a time of 38min 54secs!
2nd Club member home was Simon Meadows claiming 20th position in 39mins 01secs. Simon lead the tussle with Shona for most the race, until the last decisive final 400 metres. The 3rd TRC member was not far behind; James Head clocked 39mins 32secs, still suffering from a 'hard' Friday Evening TRC session two days previous(?
Vlad Vengler started the race in great fettle as he was within touching distance of the 3 TRC members during the 1st 5K. This fast start proved to be vital as Vlad crossed the line in 40mins and 22secs to record a PB!
Immediately in front of the runners as they lined up on the start line in the driving rain, runners knew exactly why the race is called hilly, as the famous 'Steeps' rose up in front of their eye and these to be tackled twice by the Half Marathoners!
The Half Marathoners certainly had a race of two "halfs", with the first lap ran in the driving rain and then, most of the second lap in the glorious sunshine!
Two of Tewkesbury Running Club's braver competitors took on the huge task of the Cheltenham Challenge Half Marathon. Starting at the racecourse at Prestbury Park, runners wound their way up the sharp off-road climbs to the highest point of the Cotswolds on Cleeve Hill before the descent back to the racecourse: A very tough challenge encompassing a near 1400ft of climbing, mostly done in the rain!

1. COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES.
Your financial aid award that’s listed isn’t necessarily all grants. Some of the aid is likely to also be loans, which need to be paid back with interest after you graduate. In general, the more grant aid you can get and the fewer loans you have to take out, the better.
2. LEARN THE ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS IN ADVANCE.
3. MAKE SURE YOU’RE COMPARING THE NET COST AT SCHOOLS.
Although one college may initially have a bigger “sticker price” than another, it’s important to compare the net cost: that is, how much it costs to attend after you get your financial aid. A more expensive school may end up offering more scholarships, making it more affordable in the long run.
Just because you get this award now doesn’t mean you’ll get it every year. If you’re getting a Stafford loan, for example, their limits are lower for freshmen and sophomores, which could make it a lot harder to pay for school your junior and senior years.
5. UNDERSTAND THAT OUTSIDE SCHOLARSHIPS CAN REDUCE YOUR AWARD AMOUNT.
7. WATCH OUT FOR “FILLER” AWARDS.
Some schools will include a Parent Plus loan among the awards. It’s not really an award; it’s a suggestion that your parents take out this particular loan. In other words, it’s a somewhat sneaky way of making your financial award look like more than it really is.
8. BE AWARE OF CONDITIONS.
Read the fine print of all your awards, because some have restrictions and conditions. A merit-based grant may require you to maintain a certain GPA each year. An athletic scholarship may cancel your award if you suffer a career-ending injury.
Finally, some good news. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is getting a realistic deadline! Where once you couldn’t apply until January, now students can begin filling out the FAFSA on October 1 using previous years’ tax information.
Be sure you understand everything about your award. Don’t be afraid to make a list of questions before calling the school for answers. College may be one of the biggest investments of your life. You deserve to know what you’re getting—and getting into!

Gavin Hawkins / May 27, 2016	I hope you won’t begrudge me the subtitle above or the fact that it’s been awhile since we’ve had a whole lot of new content. I have been waiting for the situation at Baylor to grow legs more than it had two months ago.
It was last summer when the Texas Monthly story about Sam Ukwuachu broke. At the time, Sam was not a convicted rapist, though the evidence was damning. He was on trial for raping a Baylor soccer player, but his innocence was presumed. In some ways, the Baylor coaches presumed too much. The line to the public–and likely the board of regents–was that Sam was expected to play ball in the fall for Baylor. Turns out, there’s not a work release rider in the NCAA Rulebook.
The story indicated above broke out of the blue, partly because of the titular issue, Baylor’s silence. It was the seminal story that led to major outlets like Fox Sports, ESPN, Bleacher Report, and even Deadspin taking notice. While I won’t speculate on the motivations of these parties, it served to shine some of the brightest spotlights on Waco since the days following the siege of the Branch Davidians.
Over the course of the offseason, extensive facts have come to light regarding Baylor’s disgraceful handling of reports of sexual violence by its students; to wit: it’s football players. Several women have come forward alleging crimes of a sexual nature against Baylor athletes. The Dallas News has done a excellent job building a chronology of all the incidents. The sad reality is: there’s too much of it to keep track of. As of today, the Baylor Board of Regents is finally fed up (which is sad that it took all this to do it).
Art Briles, the head football coach, was fired today–technically, suspended with intent to terminate. Either way, the man is a greasy spot on the road in Waco.
Unfortunately for Baylor, there is blood in the water and Art’s scalp will not satisfy anyone who is half paying attention, nor will it absolve Baylor of any further obligations. The school has since self-reported these issues to the NCAA and Big XII. Now, the Committee on Infractions and Commissioner get to put it into high gear.
In cases of self reporting, most schools impose sanctions as a method of sidestepping the NCAA’s hammer. In most cases, it somewhat works. This is not most cases. Below is a list of things that I believe will happen to Baylor.
Ok, sorry for being misleading. Baylor is not SMU 2.0. They are not getting the NCAA’s Death Penalty. While my personal feelings set on the belief that a suspension of all football for a calendar year would do the school some good, it’s just not in the cards. You see, te Death Penalty has an actual name in the Rulebook, the Repeat Violator Rule. And no, it is not deployed for when a team had players who repeatedly violate the law. Instead, the Rule aims to severely punish teams that are already on the receiving end of NCAA sanctions. If it did apply to criminal acts, the big three in the state of Florida would be FAU, UCF, and JU. Urban’s Florida, Bobby’s Florida State, and, well, Jimmy’s Miami would all have been dealt ample helpings of this, with some coming back for seconds. Moreover, consider Penn State and Sandusky. With all that happened, they lost scholarships, received a postseason bowl ban, and received a green light . Scholarship football was not suspended. It’s not in the cards either as Baylor hasn’t been sanctioned. Let’s talk about what will probably happen.
Briles has been fired, so we’re good, right? Not quite. Baylor exhibited an egregious lack of institutional control and this will likely be one of the citations from the COI. Briles’s termination has little to do with Baylor’s punishments, but you can believe they would be more severe if he retained power through this–I’m sure they tried every way possible to keep him.
However, with Briles fired, it seems like he can’t be punished because he has no scholarships to take away, no games to vacate.
“But wait!” you say, “He can’t just be allowed to start over scot-free.”
Not to worry, Straw Man Reader, he won’t. The first thing the committee will do is sanction him in the form of a punishment called a Show Cause. The Show Cause is my favorite NCAA punishmentople in power. I’m a big advocate of holding athletes more accountable where they falter, but we do too little to punish their enablers.
The Show Cause does just that. This is a black mark that follows a coach around for a predetermined amount of time. The name comes from the definition in the sanction, as in the University who seeks to employ this person during their suspension period must show just cause to the NCAA as to why this person should be employed. Very few schools are willing to bear the stigma of hiring a coach during his sanction period. Fewer still are willing to endure the rigmarole that amounts to an appeal before the entire corpus of the Committee on Infractions to argue for the blessing of the NCAA to hire this person. This is a grown up timeout, and Briles has more than earned this penalty. He may have a Show Cause period of 5 years or more. Nothing but the worst for a man who met with alleged victims and then didn’t report the misconduct. Solid move, Art. Enjoy retirement.
Reduction of Scholarships
Too often the social just warriors who love sports decry punishments regarding the players because these kids weren’t the ones who committed the crimes. Well, that dog won’t hunt in this case. While the extent of the team’s awareness and involvement may never be known, the fact of the matter is that these allegations describe the actions of the players. The players must be held accountable, and the sport the school sought so strongly to protect that it traipsed right over the victim’s rights must be punished. A pound of flesh is owed here and the best way to do it is to hammer the school on their allowable scholarships for football players.
To limit collateral damage, the NCAA and DOE likely will not weigh this reduction against Title IX. Simply put, Title IX requires that schools work towards having the same number of scholarships for men as women. Most dual gender sports offset each other–baseball/softball, basketball, track. However, football is the sport that offsets the most women-only sports at bigger schools–volleyball, gymnastics, rowing–which is a cruel irony given the alleged actions of the Baylor football players.
The scholarship reduction will likely be at both the yearly level and global level. For instance, say there are 50 players allowed on football scholarship at any one time and that you get 15 scholarships per year to add new players to the pile. The NCAA could reduce these number to 35 total on scholarship and only 7 new players each year for the duration of the suspension. This hobbles the team for an extended period of time as recruiting is the most important element for building a multi-year team. This has the impact closest to the dreaded Death Penalty.
The NCAA COI also has a tendency to allow players caught amidst sanctions to abandon ship without penalty. This takes the form of waiving the undergraduate transfer holdout requirement. So, Baylor players would be able to transfer as early as this summer, assuming this judgment comes soon. With the committee’s blessing, they would be eligible to play in Fall of this year.
Postseason Bowl Ban
This is pretty self explanatory. Baylor won’t be playing in a bowl game until Jesus comes back, and that’s a generous estimate.
Baylor took several steps to improve the situation today. The issue is whether this will be enough. Embattled Baylor President, Ken Starr–yes, that Ken Starr, has been reassigned by the regents and is now Embattled Baylor Administration Member Ken Starr. While he has been on the mob’s scalp list as president, the details are still unclear regarding how much he knew and when. He may not have know , but, as President, it was his job to know. I expect him to ultimately separated from Baylor, but the timeframe is unclear.
Almost all of the above has yet to happen, but firing Briles is the first major crack in the dam. The flood waters are building over it, and it’s only a matter of time before the wall fissures and gives way to the weight above it. For now, the university will be forced to bear the brunt of the deluge. But, actions have consequences, and Baylor, it seems, deserves to get crushed by this.

← In John We Trust – Broncos Offseason Review	Letter from the Editor: Orlando →


Recall that Judge UrbinaUighurs' favor and ordered their release into the United States (because at that time the government found no other country to take them). The circuit court reversed, however, ruling that release into the U.S. was an immigration matter and therefore an issue for the political branches (and not the courts) under the Constitution. Under the circuit court ruling, if the Uighurs were to be freed in the U.S., Congress and the president would have to authorize it. (This the government refused to do for any number of political reasons. The government's official position at one point in the litigation was that the Uighurs posed a threat because they were angry that the government wrongly held them so long.) The ruling effectively negated any habeas remedy the Uighurs had, as long as the government had no place to send them. This was illustrated by the government's position in the wake of the ruling: The Uighurs were free to leave Guantanamo; they just didn't have any place to go.


It’s official, the OhioFort Myers Tip-Off during Thanksgivingalong with California, Florida and Seton Hall. “Game dates, m” according to an event release promoted by Ohio State.
This has been rumored since May of 2020, when Stadium’s Jeff Goodman reported the field, but it was made official today.
If the 2020 season is to be a guide, the Buckeyes look to be the favorite entering the event in 2021. Cal went 9-20 in year two under head coach Mark Fox this season, missing out on the tournament along with 14-13 Seton Hall. Florida qualified for tournament play as the No. 7 seed after a 14-9 regular season but fell to Oral Roberts in the second round.


Since then, I've been doing some digging on personal branding, and Emily Whitehead (@mrsewhitehead) shared an idea that I think I would use as the culminating piece (or maybe as bookends to the process). She recommended having students do a Google search of themselves or a partner, write a logo, create an icon, & tagline that represents what was found - then have students reflect on their brand. After students have thought about themselves as a brand, have them do the activity again for who they WANT to be, and follow it up as a conversation about how to get there.

Tesla may have delivered more cars than ever in Q3 of 2016, but whether or not those cars are up to standard has yet to be determined. Recently, Elon Musk’s car company reached an important milestone, logging 222 million miles with its autopilot feature. But the controversial tool is still being called a “significant traffic hazard” by a German Transport Ministry’s internal report.
“Autopilot is a suite of technologies that operate,” the carmaker said, adding that its use of the term is synonymous to that of the aviation industry’s usage — “.”

D., Economist, Citizens United For Rehabilitation of Errants (CURE), Burke, Virginia; "Employing Individuals with Criminal Histories: Barriers and Solutions," Debbie Mukamal, Staff Attorney, Legal Action Center, New York, New York
Connecting fathers with employment is a critical issue for today. Without employment, fathers are not ready to carry out responsibility to provide for their families. A distinguished panel will examine the barriers to employment faced by fathers. For offenders, these barriers include the lack of meaningful jobs in prison and a variety of legal and informal employment practices in the community. For many fathers, the lack of work experience and jobs skills is a significant deterrent to employability. Ways to successfully enable fathers to find and keep sustainable employment in prison and in the community will be explored.

Panel members will discuss their effort during the past year to establish a Fatherhood training program for North Carolina Division of Prison inmates. The initiative was begun by Dr. Peter Leousis (NC Department of Health and Human Services) at the request of Governor James Hunt. Dr. Leousis began the task by pulling together. Existing programs were reviewed in an effort to locate a suitable curriculum for the North Carolina inmate population. When an existing program that would meet the needs of the target population was not found it was decided that the Department of Corrections would seek an appropriate contract source for its own curriculum. The cost of the curriculum development was funded from the Division of Prisons Inmate Canteen Fund, which includes profit from prison canteens and pay telephone use by inmates. The contract was awarded to Motheread, Inc., an organization with extensive experience in curriculum, training and technical assistance for programs offered in the prison setting. The pilot sites chosen for the project's testing represent medium and minimum custody populations, as well as the youth (14 to 18) population. The curriculum will be taught by community college instructors from local colleges that are already providing educational programs to the pilot prison sites.
The panel will include representatives who can describe all aspects of the project itself, the curriculum that was developed, and the implementation process. Panel members will share information with the audience, and will be available to respond to specific audience questions.
Knowing the Rules: How Federal Policies Effect Reunification and Reintegration Efforts of Formerly Incarcerated Fathers and Mothers

The objective of this panel presentation is to identify how current federal policies, including at the HHS Fatherhood Initiative, effect family reunification and community reintegration efforts for formerly incarcerated fathers and mothers and to provide information on actions that the state could take in implementing federal policies that could effect the potential impact of those policies on incarcerated parents and their families. HHS policies to be discussed include: Child Support (and all enforcement tools such as drivers license revocation that can be used when a parent is behind in child support payments); Adoption (termination of parental rights when a child is in foster care for 15 of 22 months); and TANF (prohibition on payment of TANF benefits to convicted drug felons). HUD policies on housing and DOL policies on elimination of the federal bonding program may also be included. Experts in each of these areas will present an overview of the federal policy, how that policy is being implemented at the state and/or local level, the degree to which there is flexibility in state implementation, and who in the state is responsible for determining how these polices will be implemented

Source: What is Roundup for Lawns? </s> A Hat in Time stars a young girl in a hat, simply referred to as Hat Kid. She pilots her own cushy spaceship which uses time as fuel, but after an accident, she loses all her magical hourglasses and is stranded above an alien planet. To make it back home, she must venture down to the surface and collect all the time she lost. Naturally, the only way to survive the planet’s strange locales it to utilize a bottomless collection of flashy headwear. Much like this year’s Yooka-Laylee, this game is another attempt at reviving the collect-a-thon platformer funded through Kickstarter. While the ex-Rare team’s attempt was fun but didn’t quite live up to their past efforts, A Hat in Time succeeds at making that old-school genre feel exciting again.
Gotta catch em all – A Hat in Time bills itself as a classic collect-a-thon platformer, but that really sells it short. This is a streamlined take on the genre, trading the glut of endless shopping lists with well-designed, self-contained missions. Your main collectible is the Time Pieces that fuel Hat Girl’s ship. Most are collected through natural story progression – you explore a series of open worlds filled with loot, but each has a linear progression of missions that you complete for your main prize. It’s similar in structure to Super Mario 64 because of this, but it rises above that comparison because of how varied each mission in a single world can be. The amount of gameplay ideas here puts platformers to shame – you’re not just going to be jumping around on fetch quests, you’ll be solving murders in a stealth mission, hiding under furniture from monsters and leading a death-defying parade just to name a few objectives. Despite the mission-based structure, there’s still plenty of exploration to be done – every world is filled with optional loot, including a few loose Time Pieces just waiting to be found. The one chapter that happens to go full-on open-world does it very well, crafting the area to funnel you in the right directions. Where most games go for quantity A Hat in Time goes for quality – while there’s only 40 Time Pieces in total, every single one is a unique, memorable experience.
Who needs hats? – Hat abilities feel great but are really just compliments to your standard move set; the real meat and potatoes is the platforming. It’s mostly standard fare – you got your double jumps, wall jumps, and long leaps. It feels like you remember old-school platformers playing, having simple yet rewarding moves that work just as well goofing around as they do in precarious situations. Your movement skill set just feels fun to use; the grappling hook and belly sliding moves are simple mechanics but are unbelievably satisfying when pulled off well. Combat is incredibly simple, just relying on mashing the X button, but it works due to the light focus on actual fighting. The few boss battles in the game are designed well enough so that actually whacking the bad guy is the least interesting part


Has moving your new horde of chainrasps given you repetitive strain injury? Thought movement trays were a relic from the World that Was? Not so! The answer comes in the form of skirmish trays. Cheap and cheerful, made from laser cut MDF, these will not only speed up your movement phase no end but give you some extra real estate for basing.
I’m going to show you how to quickly and easily upgrade your movement trays. Since my Death army uses a swampy theme for its bases, I’m going to extend this across the movement trays.
In this tutorial, I use Element Games trays but I’ve also had good results with those from War Bases. The War Bases trays are slightly larger with separation between each base while the Element Games trays are a tighter fit. I can recommend both so ultimately, it’s down to preference. The Element Games trays also come in 2 parts which you simply glue together using PVA and leave to dry. Use the old paintbrush to apply the glue in all stages.
I use coarse sand from B&Q. It’s cheap and gets the job done – you just need something that will provide texture. Coat the top and rim of the base in PVA glue and let it sit in the sand. It’s worth taking care at this point that you don’t have sand overhanging the interior or you’ll struggle to get bases in and out of the tray. Leave it to dry.
This is where you put your own stamp on the bases. If your bases are deserts, paint them yellow. Since mine are swampy, I’m going with murky greens and browns using the tutorial I posted here.
It really is this easy. Once the paint is down, add some details that give your basing a little more interest. For my swampy bases, I use static grass (Summer Static Grass from 4ground), various tufts and the occasional puddle made with Vallejo Still Water. There’s not much room on the Element Games trays but the War Bases ones let you go to town.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (November 8, 2016) – With the 2017 season on the horizon, teammates Cory Reed and Angelle Sampey have announced their highly-anticipated plans for next year. It was announced in September that Reed was starting his own team in 2017 and three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle World Champion Sampey would be joining him as team manager and the second rider on his team.
Team Liberty Racing will run Victory-manufactured motorcycles and are currently working out details for their engine program. It was also announced today that Chris Rivas was named crew chief for the team.
Precision Service Equipment (PSE) will remain primary sponsor on both motorcycles and another primary sponsor is in the finalization process and will be announced soon.
New sponsors for Team Liberty Racing in 2017 includes Precision Reprographics and Coral Fever. Additional sponsors that are continuing their support for Reed and Sampey include High Performance Lubricants, Bates Leather, Impact Racing, and Full Blown Paint.
Chris Rivas was first hired as a rider in the NHRA in 2005 riding an S&S Cycle bike. Rivas competed for four years and finished as high as second place in points in 2008.

In 2009, Rivas partnered with S&S once again to set records at the historic Bonneville Salt Flats; he went on to net two class records in his first outing. Currently, Rivas holds 12 land speed records and has established his S&S Powered bike as the fastest sit on American V-Twin ever with a top speed at Bonneville of 244.7 MPH.
Rivas also owns and operates a performance Camshaft company, Rocket Cams Inc. as well as Chris Rivas V-Twin a performance motorcycle shop in Fresno, CA. where he is in high demand for his EFI Tuning skills.

journey, for him if not for me, and yet...
_...Jesu._ I surveyed the clattering assembly with dismay. This was his idea of discretion? Before I could question it, Dudley led me across the well-trodden field, away from the throng.
We stopped close to the bridge itself, where it was quiet.
I said, 'Have the trumpeters been delayed?'
The crow-picked head of a man had fallen from one of the poles and lay in the grass near our feet. I wondered if it had belonged to some executed traitor I might recognise, winced and looked away as Dudley kicked the head down the bank, then grinned.
'All this... it's not for me, you fool.'
Close up, I realised that shabby had been a wrong impression. If the mourning purple was gone and had not been replaced by his customary gilded splendour, his leathery apparel was still of good quality. Country landowner-class, at least, except for the exceptionally beautiful riding boots, possibly a small gift from the Queen at a time when there were no thousand-acre estates to spare.
'It's for the judge,' Dudley said. 'Sixty armed guards.'
He explained. It seemed the trial in Radnorshire was for some Welsh felon, of whom an example must needs be made. Dudley said a London judge had been requested by the Council of the Marches in Ludlow to make sure it was handled _efficiently and robustly._
Well, I knew what that meant, but a _London_ judge? Was that usual?
'It is,' Dudley said, 'when the local judiciary fears for the health of its wives and children and safety of its property.'
The man on trial was the leader of _Plant Mat_ , a brotherhood of violent cattle-thieves, highway-robbers and killers lodged in the heart of Wales. Well organised, controlling trade, smuggling goods from France, running several inns at which travellers were habitually robbed or held for ransom.
'I've never heard of this. Plant Mat? Children of Matthew?'
'It's Wales. Where they seem to be regarded as heroes for the obvious reason that they've been preying, whenever they can, on the English. Or so they claim.'
'Hence the guard?'
'Procured with the full agreement of Cecil, I'd guess. Despite his being Welsh.'
'That means Cecil knows we're travelling with them?'
'Of course not. We're here through Blount's connections.'
Thomas Blount, his steward, was a former attorney.
'There's a handful of others also travelling with us,' Dudley said. 'All of them well-investigated, no doubt, to make sure none are too... shall we say _too Welsh?_ '
When he smiled, I saw that his moustache had been trimmed close to his face, his beard cut back to little more than stubble. Hardly distinguished but it was wise enough, under these circumstances. A ransom for Lord Dudley would be not inconsiderable.
'Sure you're quite happy with this, Robbie?'
'Welsh banditry? God's bollocks, John.' Dudley sniffed in contempt and began to walk back up the field. 'Come on, we need to fix you up with a horse. Oh, and while I remember... if anyone should ask, Dr John Dee is journeying, as he often does, in pursuit of old books and also to inspect his family's property in the borderlands. Assisted by his old friend, Master Roberts, the antiquary. That sound plausible to you?'
Highly plausible, and it had worked in Glastonbury. Several dozen significant rare books and manuscripts in my library at Mortlake had come from the libraries of dissolved monasteries. When religious houses are plundered for treasure, either by common thieves or the Crown, the books are oft-times flung aside as worthless.
I caught him up.
'Who knows the truth?'
'Nobody knows the _truth_ , John. Though obviously Legge knows who Roberts is and can think what the hell he likes about my reasons for getting out of London for a while.'
I stopped, grasping his arm.
'Legge?'
'The judge.'
' _Christopher_ Legge?'
' _Sir_ Christopher Legge. If you paid proper attention to the lists you'd know these things.' Dudley scrutinised me. 'History here?'
Five years back, when I'd been accused of conjuring against Queen Mary, several false charges had also been levelled against me by a lawyer, name of Ferrers, now himself held in suspicion after a printing press producing pamphlets full of French lies about the Queen had been found on his premises. Ferrers had oiled his way out of the Fleet by convincing the court he'd had no knowledge of the treasonous intent of a man renting his premises.
It seemed unlikely he'd yet have links with Christopher Legge who, as a young attorney, had helped process evidence against me for presentation to the Star Chamber. Evidence which, being qualified in law and so conducting my own defence, I'd assiduously broken to dust.
Legge was now a _judge_? He must be a couple of years younger than me, maybe not even thirty. We'd never spoken and there was no reason to suppose he bore ill will towards me, if ever he had. But, for the duration of this journey, I'd try to avoid him, nonetheless.
'He'll be on the Privy Council one day, from what I hear,' Dudley said. 'If he survives the trial.'
He laughed, and I took the remark as being not too serious. Taking this opportunity to ask him where the hell he'd been while I was lying low at his house in Kew.
'Later,' Dudley said.
' _Robbie..._ '
Dudley stopped ten or so paces short of the first cart, looked over a shoulder and lowered his voice to a hiss.
'Cumnor. I was at Cumnor.'
Rapidly, I caught him up.
'Was that advisable?'
To my knowledge, until now he'd never been back to the house where Amy died since she was found. Would not have been seemly. Might have suggested he had traces to cover. On the surface, he'd behaved impeccably, only sending Thomas Blount to record the circumstances on his behalf.
'Why?' I said. 'Why risk it, with the inquest still in process?'
'Could be months before the inquest returns its verdict. I'm to be held in purgatory till then?'
'And was it worth it? Did you learn anything?'
Ahead of us, I could now see Sir Christopher Legge. Would not have marked him if I hadn't known he was here. He'd changed. Narrow features, which had been gawky when last I'd seen him, had hardened like a new-forged pike-head introduced to cold water. He was enclosed by a dozen attendants and minor attorneys but was somehow distant from them all.
'Well?' I said to Dudley.
Still unsure how far I trusted him.
'I'll tell you when there's privacy.'
He began to walk up the riverside field towards the company of men and horses. His gypsy's skin seemed darker under the pink-veined sky.
Of a sudden, he turned back.
'There's an evil here, John,' he said.
#### A Sense of the Ominous
WHEN FIRST I was known as the Queen's astrologer, my services were in big demand, mainly from ambitious people wanting my name on their child's birthchart. In the euphoria following the coronation there were more of these requests than I could easily deal with.
But a few others – and they still come, on occasion – related to the less-easily defined aspect of my role – _adviser on the Hidden._ And therein lies a dilemma.

"All this time, I thought I only had one son…now I got two…" He lay back on his bed and stared at the ceiling. "How do I approach a son I didn't even know existed until now?Well, I just have to be honest with him, that's all. But how am I gonna tell Kit?"
"Dad, Dad!" it was Kit, he got down on his knees on the bed next to Mathew and shook him. "C'mon, Dad, wake up, Baloo is gonna eat your breakfast if you don't hurry."
"Let him have it." Mathew mumbled sleepily. Slowly he rose into a sitting position on his bed. He let out a big yawn, he looked terrible, his eyes were slightly red and his hair was a mess. "I'm not hungry this morning."
"Gee, Dad, are you alright?You don't look so good." Kit said, looking at his Dad with concern, he placed a hand on his Dad's forehead. "You don't have a fever…are you sick at your stomach?"
"Nah, I'm fine, Kit…I just…didn't sleep well last night…too many things on my mind." Mathew said while stretching his arms out, then he patted the side of his bed as a gesture for Kit to sit down next to him. "Come here, Kit, there's something I gotta tell you."
"Kit, there's no easy way for me" Mathew sighed and then said: "Kit…you have a brother…"
"I—I have a…a brother?
"Dad, no!Not that 'how'!" Kit exclaimed exasperatedly, looking revolted. Mathew could not help but chuckle at his son's reaction. "No, I meant how did we not know about him before now?"
Mathew sighed sadly. "Dr. Randle separated you two after you were born and sent you two off to different orphanages."
"Ohh…" said Kit, looking a little sad. "What's his name?"
"His name is Chris,"
"Chris…" Kit repeated in a whisper to himself. "Are you going to go get him?"
"Absolutely!" Mathew said, patting Kit's head. "I'm taking off in a little while…I'm gonna go straight to that orphanage, get him and bring him back here."
"Hey, Dad, can I—can I go with you?…Please?
Kit pushed his cap back into position and smiled warmly. "You know, it's funny, just yesterday I was meeting the Duck brothers and I wished that I had a brother and all this time, I have one. Sort of like a wish come true."
Mathew chuckles. "Yeah, that is kind of funny," he cleared his throat. "Uh, Kit…last night, I asked for Rebecca's hand in marriage…"
Mathew smiled warmly. "She said yes."
"YA-HOO!" Kit jumped up with his fist raise to joyously punch the air. "Miss Cunningham is gonna be my Mom!Ya-hoo!"
"Rebecca's…like a Mom to me, ever since I first met her. She's a great person, Dad, I'm glad you're marrying her."
"I'm going to get ready, I'll be out in a minute and then we'll go get Chris."
"Okay, I'm ready, let's go."
"Well, good morning, flyboy." Rebecca said. She looked down at Kit. "Good morning, Kit."
"Yeah, Dad told me and I think it's great…
"Aw, that's sweet, Kit." Rebecca said; embracing Kit again and he hugged back. "I love you, Kit."
"There's a cookie jar on the table and a jug of milk in the refrigerator if you're hungry."
"Wow, thanks…Mom…" Kit sounded like he was trying to get used to calling her that. "Um, can I call you that?"
"You're good with him, Rebecca."
"What is it, Mathew?" she asked, noticing how uneasy Mathew looked. She placed a hand on his arm. "Hey, you can tell me anything, you know that, right?"
"Yes, of course I do," Mathew said. "But I just don't know how you're going to take the news, and it might affect our engagement."
"That is not going to happen, Mathew, I'm letting Kit get away with calling me Mom, aren't I?" she said while patting Mathew's arm consolingly, Mathew grinned. "Come on, Mathew, tell me."
"Well…" said Mathew hesitantly. "It turns out that Kit is not the only son I have…"
"What do you mean, Mathew?
"Rebecca…" Mathew sighed. "It turns out that Lilly had twins, I have another son out there…I just found out…"
"Oh…" Rebecca seems lost for words. "…oh…wow, two Kits, this is…unexpected…"
"His name is Chris, Rebecca, and me and Kit will be leaving in a few minutes to pick him up…I hope you don't mind an extra kid."
"Well, this is unexpected…" she admitted but she placed a hand on his arm, smiling. "But I'm sure a flyboy Daddy like you and a business Mom like me can handle it."
"Yeah, you're right, Rebecca." Mathew smiled at her. "Well, Kit and me better be off. Come on, Kit."
"Dad, how did the Sea Duck get here?
"Baloo requested the Organization to go get it for him, said he couldn't be away from his baby for too long." Mathew replied. "Which is understandable of course, it's the bond between the pilot and his plane. I feel the same way about the Phoenix, but I would give her up for those I love, as would Baloo. Now, come on, I can't wait to meet Chris."
"What's going on?—HEY!Who's up there?
Wildcat poked his head up. "Oh, hi, Matt. We're fixing Miss Phoenix up, she was worried about heating up and going 'BOOM, BOOM!'"
"Oh, hi Mathew, Wildcat and I are modifying your overdrive." Gadget said, smiling. "We just installed some engine coolers in both engines. They will activate when the engines experiences extreme heat. Therefore, when you turn on your overdrive, you won't have to worry about overheating and blowing up one or both of your engines."
"Wow, that's great, Gadget." Mathew said, smiling. "Are you almost finished?Me and Kit gotta be somewhere."
"Yep, we're done!" Gadget closed the engine, gathered up her tools and climbed down, followed by Wildcat. "Now Mathew, you can now use overdrive for any amount of time, but you still have a time limit for how long you use it. Overdrive can burn much more fuel then normal flight capability, so don't use it any longer then you have to. But on the bright side, you can use it without worrying about blowing your engines out."
Mathew smiled pleasantly at her. "Thanks Gadget, thanks Wildcat. Have you checked out the Sea Duck?"
"Yes, and we're working on it next." Gadget replied. "It has the same engines you have—Superflight One-hundreds and even has overdrive in it, but Baloo burned it out. The overdrive turbo engines are still there, but they've melted onto the main engines so we're going to have to replace the whole engines and put in new Superflight One-hundreds, new overdrive and I'll even throw in some engine coolers."
"You bet your aileron I'll be happy," s to see Baloo leaning against the nose of the Phoenix. "I'll be able to keep up with you two without blowing up the engines."
"Can you come with us, Papa Bear?
"Of course you can come, Baloo, this is family business and…Well…Kit and I consider you family."
"Oof!" Baloo grunted as Kit landed squarely on his great belly. "Easy on the landing, Lil Britches."
Kit grinned apologetically. "Sorry, Papa Bear."
"Baloo," Mathew said, gaining Baloo's attention. "Before we take off, I'd better fill you in on what we're doing."
"I've been sent an official letter from the Child Welfare Department, informing me that Kit isn't my only son…I have another one…"
"You have another kid?Why didn't you tell me?
Mathew looked miserable. "I—I didn't know he existed until last night…Remember, I wasn't present when Kit was born and the doctor told me only about Kit, they didn't say anything about Chris."
"Chris?Is that the kid's name?"
"Yes, Baloo…And oh, I wish I've killed that Dr. Randle!He took my sons away from me and then he lied to me, telling me I only had one son."
"Yeah, I know what ya mean. If that had been me, I would've landed the Sea Duck on top of him and squash him!"
"What's the golf cart for, Matt?" Baloo asked, while Kit looked up at his Dad from Baloo's laps as if to say 'what he said.'
"It's a long walk from the dock to the orphanage." Mathew explained. "And Chris may not be used to doing a lot of walking, being cooped up in an orphanage all these years."
They have flown past the gap in the cliffs so fast that the cliff guards did not even see them. Mathew turned the overdrive off and realized his mistake just in time. He had used overdrive too long; his gas tanks were a drop from being empty!
"Baloo, call the gas service and tell them to fill 'er up while Kit and I go get Chris." Mathew said while walking into the cargo hold. He untied the golf cart. "Kit, open the hatches for me, please."
"Kit, do you want to walk, ride or drive?
I was right, Mathew mused. What twelve-year-old doesn't want to drive?
Mathew looked back at Baloo. "We'll be back as soon as possible."
"Okay, keep it at this speed, no faster." Mathew said. "Keep the wheel steady, like flying a plane. Now, drive off the dock and onto the sidewalk and stay on the sidewalk."
"Kit, relax and let out a breath." Mathew told him. Kit obeyed, letting out a breath and loosened up his tensed muscles. "Okay, now slowly ease off the gas…"
"Now, take your foot off the gas."
"Okay, now slowly push in on the break, don't stomp on it, and just push it in slowly."
"Very good, Kit!" Mathew beamed with pride at him. "I knew you could do it!"
"Thanks Dad," said Kit, smiling with self-satisfaction. "Thanks for the pointers."
"Anytime, son, anytime."
"Hello, you must be Chris's family," she said in a sweet voice. "The resemblance is just uncanny."
"Yes, we would like to see Chris," Mathew said politely. "Would you please lead us to him?"
"Now I know where Chris got his kindness from," the old hen said with a smile. "My name is Betty, by the way."
"I'm Mathew Cloudkicker and this is my son, Kit."
"Nice to meet you two gentlemen." Betty said with a bow of her head, "Now, if you'll kindly follow me, I'll take you to meet Chris."
"This is a nicer place then the orphanage I grew up in." Kit commented. "At least the staff actually cares for their kids, so unlike the people at my orphanage."
"Remember, Kit, Chris didn't grew up here, he only just been moved here for our convenience." Mathew reminded him. "He grew up in Jungle City Orphanage."
Mathew smiled pleasantly. "Yes, Chris, I am your Dad."
Chris looked at Kit. "Who are you?"
"Why, why did you leave me?
"Oh, Chris…" Mathew said sadly, moving slowly toward Chris and sitting down next to him on the bed. Chris was crying, looking down on the bed. Mathew cupped Chris' chin up. "Chris, I didn't leave you, you and Kit were taken away from me when you were born. I've spent twelve years looking for Kit."
Chris lifted his blue eyes to Mathew's face. "Were you looking for me too?"
"I'm not going to lie to you, Chris." Mathew said, he put an arm around his youngest son and hugged him. "I didn't know about you until very recently, the reason for this is because the doctor told me that I only have one son—Kit, he didn't say anything about you so I didn't know about you. But have I known, I would've searched for you too."
"How could you not know that I was born?
"I'm so sorry, Chris…you see, I wasn't present when your Mom gave birth to you and Kit, and I was on a cargo run at the time so I couldn't prevent that doctor from giving you two away to different orphanages."
"More then you know." Mathew replied as he lifted Chris up into his arms and hugged him tightly. Then he looked over at Kit, who stood silently a few feet away. Mathew held out an arm. "Kit, get in here."
"Boys, I promise I'll never leave you."
Mathew hugged Chris around the middle, rubbing him on the upper back with a hand. "I love you too, Chris."
"Hey, Chris," Kit addressed his brother for the first time, pointing at the Flyboy magazine. "You're into airplanes?"
"Yeah, I dunno why, but I like to look at 'em." Chris said, staring at Kit as though trying to memorize all of his features, he was surprised of how much Kit look like him. "I've never been in an airplane before but I wish I could at least look around in one."
"Chris, you're in luck. Dad's a pilot and he's got his own plane, we can take you flying!"
"Flying?" Chris gulped, but then he forced himself to grin with excitement. "I mean, oh boy!I've always wanted to fly!"
"Come on, Chris," Mathew said, hugging Chris and standing up with him in his arms. "We gotta get back."
"Chris, do you wanna drive?
"Now, Chris, the first thing you have to do is—" Mathew begin, but the rest of his words were lost in the winds as Chris stomped on the gas and zoomed down the street with Mathew yelling: "AHHHH!"
"Chris!Hit the break!
"The break?Uh, which one is that?" Chris asked, looking around the steering wheel as they drove through the market place, knocking carts of tomatoes, apples, oranges and watermelon over, spilling its' content onto the sidewalk and onto the road!
"You mean you don't know how—?AHHH—Oof!
"Uh, Dad?You might wanna step on it…
"Because we've got an angry mob on our tail!
"Hey-hey, Matt, ready for take off?" Baloo asked with his head hanging out the window of the door on the pilot side. "Is that your other kid?
"Wow…" Chris murmured in awe, looking the Phoenix up and down with admiration. "What a great plane, a Conwing L-sixteen, right?"
"Good eye, Chris." Mathew said, feeling proud of him. He walked up to the Phoenix and patted the side of it. "I call 'er the Phoenix, my best friend. Customized her myself." He pointed at one of the engine. "Can you guess what kind of engines those are?"
"Hmm," Chris said, looking up at the engine while holding his chin in concentration. "Are those Superflight One-hundreds?"
"No need ta be formal with me, Chris, just call me Baloo."
"Baloo, open the back hatches, please." Mathew said. Baloo obeyed. "Kit, help Chris into the plane while I load the golf cart in the cargo hold.'
"Okay, Kit." Chris said, smiling. His smile faded as he look up at Baloo, feeling distrustful of him. If Kit trusts him, and Dad trusts him, maybe I should give him a chance…
"Well?What do you think?" Kit inquired of Chris as he looked all around the cockpit, taking in every detail. "Now you can't say you've never been in a plane."
"I guess…" Chris said, paying little or no attention to his older brother. He was busy looking at the controls, trying to get an idea of how the controls works. "This is an awesome plane!"
"Glad you like it," said Mathew, who had just entered the cockpit from the cargo hold. "You wanna fly us outta' here?"
"Who, me?" squeaked Chris, prodding himself on the chest with a finger. Baloo noticed the fear in the bear cub's young face. "Are you sure you want me to?You saw what I did in the golf cart."
"Come on, Chris," Kit said. "There's enough room on the Baloo Express for one more."
"Chris, I would never hurt ya, ya gotta believe that." Baloo told him, holding the bear cub at arm's length, and then he pressed Chris to his chest and hugged him. "See?
"We're ready for take off." Mathew said, flipping all the switches that turns on the engines. "Here we go…
This isn't so bad. Chris thought, but then Mathew pulled back on the flight stick, bringing the plane up into the air. Yikes!I spoke too soon!
"Chris?" Baloo said gently in his ear. "Are you okay?
"Yeah, I-I'm fine…
"Dad, does the Phoenix has towropes?
"Yeah, she does," said Mathew, who had also noticed the perfect cloud-surfing weather conditions. "Why don't you and Chris try it out?"
Kit took out his airfoil, placed it on the floor, and stood on top it, beckoning Chris to stand in front of him on the board. Chris obeyed, seeing no harm in it…
"We're ready, Dad!
Chris, realizing too late what was going on, let out a frightful moan as the wind blew into the cargo hold, sweeping them off the floor and out of the plane!
"AHHH!" Chris screamed. "Oh, please, don't let go, Kit!
"Kit, he's in the state of fright," Baloo said. "He can't respond just yet, give him a minute."
"Baloo, I'm losing blood in my head here…
Baloo sighed again, putting the two bear cubs down. "It's no good, Lil Britches, he's just not letting go."
"What's wrong with him, Baloo?
"Chris…" Mathew came into the cargo hold, having put the plane on autopilot. He was worried, Chris face was frozen in terror and his grip on Kit was very tight. He walked over to Chris and Kit and bent down to talk in Chris' ear. "Chris, Chris, can you hear me?"
"What's wrong with him, Dad?Why won't he respond or let go of me?
"Kit…Matt…" Baloo spoke, looking from Kit and Chris to Mathew and back again. "I think Chris is afraid of height…I noticed that he got tensed when we took off…Kit, I'm sorry, I tried ta stop you, but you were already out there and I think cloud surfing was just too much for him."
"Chris," Baloo lifted Chris off Kit's back, held gently in his arms and carried him over to the bed on the side. "Are you alright, kid?
Kit begin rubbing Chris' back, wondering what to do…and then an idea came to him…
"Home is where the heart is, wherever you may be. There'll always be a home for you, here inside of me…Home is where the heart is, and whatever you may do, there'll always be a part of me here inside of you…"
"Four walls may surround you and protect you from a storm." Mathew sat on the bed next to the two bear cubs. "But my two arms around you will keep you safe and warm…" He picked Chris up in his arms and gave him a consoling embrace. He continued the song with Kit singing along. "If ever we're not with you, if ever you're alone. Remember where our heart is, and you'll always have a home.continued to sing, hugging Chris tightlyhere my heart's at home. Remember where my heart is, and you'll never be alone…and you'll never be alone…Remember where my heart is…and you'll always have a home…"
WHEW!That was a long, long chapter. How did you like it?And what do you think of Chris?

HB5062 Goes straight to full House of Representatives
Bill (HB5062) was voted on Tueschaired by Rep. Crespo.
Manufacturing Renaissance sent a team of people prepared to testify including David Robinson, Erica Staley, former Sen. Alice Palmer, Rev. Anthony Haynes, YMA member Richard Eames, former Harvey mayor David Johnson, Al Penn and Elbert Shaw for R.O.C.C. south suburban policy think tank.
Rep. Flowers has fully embraced our program and she is leveraging her position as the third most senior member of the house (behind Madigan and the retiring Barbara Flynn Currie) and favorite of Speaker Madigan, to push the bill forward. She is a force and her goal isn't simply to bring attention to the skills gap issue and our program, but to actually pass the bill with full funding.
Chairman Crespo, who initially was opposed to the bill, opened the testimony declaring his support for the bill and requested to be added on as a co-sponsor. He said he believed this is one of the most important bills coming up for debate this year. He noted that there were 62 witness slips in support of the bill and one opponent--the Illinois Board of Education.
Rep. Flowers opened the testimony with a powerful call for support declar Illinois Board of Education to support and fund this bill. She explained that the language in the current statutes needs to reflect the change from vocational education to advanced skills technology. She argued that manufacturing has changed, and the current language and funding is inadequate to help support manufacturers' needs and to provide access to training for people in the community.
Sen. Palmer followed with remarks about how this is an Illinois bill and implied that this should not be viewed in the context of partisan politics. She stressed the value to industry, communities and the state economy.
After Palmer's statement, several Representatives voiced their strong support for the bill. Four of the representatives (two democrats and two republicans) voiced their concerns about how such a bill would be funded and had questions about the wrap around social social services provisions in the bill.
The legislative representative from the Illinois Board of Education was called to provide testimony on why they opposed the bill. The representative said they weren't sure that they could fund the bill and were uncomfortable with 'mandate' language. Rep. Flowers repeatedly asked her if she was aware that it was their responsibility to fund such bills.
After short debate and agreement that this bill is very important, it was passed with only one dissenting vote directly into the full house for a second reading and short debate.
