Inspired by Stephens’ own experiences as a teacher, Punk Rock explores contemporary adolescence at the breaking point as a group of seventeen-year-olds in Manchester, England flirt and posture their way through the day while preparing for exams. With hormones raging and minimal adult supervision, nothing can mask the underlying tension that becomes increasingly pronounced as the clock ticks towards the ultimate dismissal.

But Monte Reese, Chief Operating Officer of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, said, “I have asked the attorneys at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) who represent us to request a stay of the judge’s injunction and begin the appeal process.””Obviously, we are disappointed with the decision,” said Beef Board Chairman Dee Lacey, a cow-calf producer from Paso Robles, Calif. “But this represents just one step in a lengthy process, and we’re in it for the long haul.” Lacey pointed out that the USDA and Department of Justice have stood strong behind the checkoff program throughout this legal challenge – brought on by the Livestock Marketing Association (LMA), the Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC), and three individuals in an earlier petition.”It’s unfortunate that the plaintiffs in this case have chosen to distract attention and funding from the real issues at hand in our industry today to wade through this legal morass,” Lacey said. “The checkoff represents the key way for us, as producers, to invest in our futures, and this kind of tactic certainly seems counterproductive to those efforts.”In annual independent surveys conducted since the launch of the beef checkoff 15 years ago, producers have repeatedly voiced strong support for the program, Lacey said. In the latest survey, released in January 2002, about 68 percent of producers said they approved of the Beef Checkoff Program.For up-to-date information on the beef checkoff case, go to www.gabeef.org/gca.The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, which oversees the national checkoff program, subject to USDA oversight. The checkoff assessment became mandatory when the program was approved by 79 percent of producers in a 1988 national referendum vote. Checkoff revenues may be used for promotion, education and research programs to improve the marketing climate for beef.
On September 14, rules regarding the multijurisdictional practice of law took effect.One rule, 3-4.1, states that: “[e]very member of The Florida Bar and every attorney of another state or foreign country who provides or offers to provide any legal services in this state is within the jurisdiction and subject to the disciplinary authority of this court and its agencies under this rule and is charged with notice and held to know the provisions of this rule and the standards of ethical and professional conduct prescribed by this court. Jurisdiction over an attorney of another state who is not a member of The Florida Bar shall be limited to conduct as an attorney in relation to the business for which the attorney was permitted to practice in this state and the privilege in the future to practice law in the state of Florida.”“In other words, after September 14, 2005, if an attorney licensed in a state other than Florida engages in unethical conduct in relation to business for which the attorney is permitted to practice in Florida, the attorney can be subject to a disciplinary proceeding by The Florida Bar,” said Lori Holcomb, the Bar’s UPL counsel.The change came about as part of the multijurisdictional practice of law rules. Rule 4-5.5 now allows attorneys from other states to provide limited legal service in Florida on a temporary basis. In order to protect the public, a disciplinary counterpart to the authorization was necessary, Holcomb said. “So, if an out-of-state lawyer is here engaging in an authorized activity but does something in violation of The Florida Bar’s rules, the attorney can be disciplined,” Holcomb said. “If the lawyer is disciplined, the rules prevent the lawyer from practicing in Florida again. Also, the lawyer’s home state bar is more likely to take action with a disciplinary finding from Florida, the host state.”When would conduct be covered under the rule? Rule 4-5.5 allows a lawyer from another state to handle transactional work in Florida as long as certain conditions are met. If the lawyer is handling a real estate closing but pockets the escrow funds, the lawyer would be subject to discipline here. Rules allow lawyers from other states and U.S. territories to practice immigration law in Florida before the Department of Homeland Security. If a lawyer is retained for immigration work and paid a fee but does not perform any services, the lawyer would be subject to discipline here.What would not be covered? If the same lawyer that handled the real estate closing was arrested on a charge of DUI while in Florida, the lawyer would not be subject to discipline, as the arrest is not related to conduct in relation to the business for which the lawyer is permitted to practice in Florida, according to Holcomb. Nor would the lawyer be subject to discipline for conduct that took place before September 14, 2005, the effective date of the rules.

The closest constituency, not surprisingly, was the 1st District along the coast, where Trump’s moved downward from 53-40 to only 52-46. This shift to the left, though, wasn’t quite enough for freshman Democratic Rep. Joe Cunningham, who lost reelection 51-49 against Republican Nancy Mace.Trump carried his other five seats by double digits. The closest was the 2nd District in the Augusta and Columbia suburbs, which supported him 56-39 in 2016 but by a smaller 55-44. Democrats hoped before Election Day that veteran Rep. Joe Wilson, a Republican who infamously screamed “You lie!” at Barack Obama during a congressional address in 2009, could be vulnerable there against well-funded Democrat Adair Ford Boroughs, but Wilson won by a comparable 56-43. The 6th District, meanwhile, moved from 67-30 Clinton to 67-32 Biden.- Advertisement – – Advertisement –

The Dodgers will turn to Texas native Clayton Kershaw and the Astros will turn to Keuchel for the final game in Houston before the series returns to Los Angeles for Game 6 on Halloween night. See full lineups below.Since 1946, when the current 2-3-2 World Series format became permanent, teams on the road for Game 5 in a 2-2 Series (and thus with home-field advantage for Games 6-7) are 18-12 in that game (going on to win 18 of 30 Series). Ten of the past 12 road teams have won, dating to 1982 – most recently the 2013 Red Sox and 2011 Cardinals. Kershaw went seven innings in Game 1, holding Houston to three hits and no walks while striking out 11. The thing he must avoid is the long ball. All eight runs the veteran has allowed during the postseason have come via home runs.“I feel the homers I give up are pretty legit,” Kershaw said Saturday. “As long as you’re making your pitches, you might hit one off the wall that you’re not supposed to or something, but other than that, you can’t really change.”Keuchel surrendered a pair of home runs in Game 1 – on his first pitch of the game to Chris Taylor and Justin Turner‘s go-ahead blast in the sixth – in an otherwise strong start.
