Privacy, Access and Court Records Report and Recommendations of the Committee on Privacy and Court RecordsGROUP TWO MINIMIZATION The Committee has concluded that Florida court files commonly contain information which is not required by law or rule and which is not needed by the court for purposes of adjudication or case management. Once entered into a court file this information becomes a matter of public record. Much of this information is personal or sensitive in nature. The Committee perceives that there is not a clear understanding on the part of attorneys and the general public of the negative effects on personal privacy of placing unnecessary information in a court record. The Committee makes a series of recommendations intended to minimize the inclusion of extraneous personal information in court records. Recommendation Seven: Revision of Rules and Forms Leading to Extraneous Personal Information The Committee has determined that a systematic review of court rules and approved forms would reveal that a number of rules and forms are written in ways that lead to routine filing of personal information which is not needed by the court for purposes of adjudication or case management. Review of Rules and Forms The Committee recommends that the Supreme Court direct a comprehensive judicial branch initiative to review and revise rules of court and approved court forms across all case types for the purpose of modifying rules and forms to avoid the filing of personal information which is not necessary for adjudication or case management. Recommendation Eight: Unauthorized Filings The Committee has found that a court file is primarily a conduit and repository of information exchanged among parties and the court. As such, the court file is not an open forum available for the gratuitous publication of extraneous and potentially damaging personal information. The Committee has therefore considered recommending a policy that prohibits filings that are not authorized by court rule or statute. Unauthorized Filings Prohibited The Committee recommends that the Supreme Court consider study of a court rule to prohibit the filing of documents that are not authorized by court rule or statute, or seeking relief by the court. The rule should clearly define improper filings, set out a method through which clerks of court can effectively identify filings which are not proper, and authorize clerks to make improper filings unavailable for inspection pending judicial determination of whether the filing will be accepted. The rule should provide that filings that are not accepted be returned to the filer with an explanation of why the filing is being returned. Recommendation Nine: Rule of Family Law Procedure 12.285 The Committee has found that portions of Florida Rule of Family Law Procedure 12.285 are commonly overlooked or ignored. The rule provides for mandatory disclosure of financial information and requires service of affidavits and financial information on the other party and submission of certification of such service. It requires submission of the information to the court only in some circumstances. The Committee has learned that parties, particularly parties proceeding pro se, commonly file the financial information with the court at the time of disclosure to the opposing party even when not required by the rule. The Committee has found that this rule should be clarified to achieve the goal of substantial reduction in the unnecessary filing of financial information in family law cases. Revision of Rule 12.285 The Committee recommends that Family Law Rule 12.285 be amended as follows: that parties should not be required to file financial affidavits if (a) they have no minor children and no support issues, and they have filed a written settlement agreement at the commencement of their case; or (b) the court lacks jurisdiction to determine any financial issues; and the rule should state at the beginning of the mandatory disclosure requirement, rather than the end, that the parties shall not file the documents that constitute their mandatory disclosure, but that they shall serve and file a certificate of compliance that specifically describes the documents that they have served on the other party. Recommendation Ten: Duty to Protect Discovery Information The Committee has considered the problem of the routine and sometimes gratuitous filing of information that has been disclosed pursuant to a discovery order. The Committee notes that compelled discovery is an exercise of state power subject to restraint by the right of privacy provided in Section 23 of Article I of the Florida Constitution, which has been held to protect citizens from intrusion any greater than necessary to achieve the state interest. The Committee urges that parties who gain possession of information pursuant to compelled discovery should protect the fruits of discovery, and should be constrained from publishing discovery material into a court file unless and until such time as the information may be properly filed for good cause. Protection of Discovery Materials The Committee recommends that the Supreme Court direct the creation of a rule of procedure that would require attorneys and litigants to refrain from filing discovery information with the court until such time as it is filed for good cause. The court shall have authority to sanction an attorney or party for violation of this rule.

For the past year I’ve had the privilege of communicating the various ways World Council of Credit Unions carries out its mission of improving lives through credit unions and other financial cooperatives.Engagements and immersion trips run through our Global Classroom provide me with the opportunity to showcase countless examples of that work.At the end of each Global Classroom trip, I spend an hour or so on the phone with Thom Belekevich, our Program Manager for Member Services, listening to him passionately describe the incredible things he just experienced—so I can communicate their impact and importance to the rest of the world.Without a doubt, some of the experiences Thom has been most passionate about derived from events designed for young credit union professionals—including the 2019 Young Professional Exchange and a January 2020 Immersion Trip, both held in Brazil.It was at those forums a transformative idea—one that could literally change the global credit union movement—came into focus and gained momentum. That idea will move one step closer to reality in March—at the 2020 Young Professional Exchange and Global Youth Summit in the United Kingdom.That’s where young credit union professionals will finalize a toolkit that any credit union in the world can utilize to replicate the Sicredi Youth Committee model.But instead of having Thom explain it to me over the phone, this time I’ll be there to experience it myself and document the process as it happens. And you’re about to read why I’m so excited about that opportunity.Why replicate the Sicredi Youth Committee model?Sicredi, Brazil’s largest credit union system, created Youth Committees to attract and retain young people with an interest in community and professional development. By connecting cooperative education with professional development, Sicredi is building a community of engaged young people to advance sustainability.The way they work is simple. Credit unions identify an employee who is an advocate for young members. This coordinator of cooperative development facilitates Youth Committee activities and provides strategic guidance to further sustainability goals. Once established, Youth Committee members explore the cooperative model as they implement an agenda of professional and community development activities based upon their individual and group priorities. The initiative builds awareness of the cooperative sector and strengthens the relationship between young people and their credit union—in many ways redefining that relationship. Youth committees are empowering young members by:stimulating a culture of volunteering.encouraging social responsibility.providing professional development opportunities.encouraging social entrepreneurship and the cooperative model as tools for social and economic development.At the January 2020 Brazil Immersion Program, young professionals from outside the credit union space described how Youth Committees have helped their careers and communities.Amanda Juliao recently completed university studies in law. She credited Sicredi for offering comprehensive training on the cooperative model and quickly became an advocate for the cooperative philosophy. Juliao is using that experience to promote financial education among children in her community.Pedro Dantas, a university graduate in electrical engineering, said his Youth Committee inspired him to embrace the power of the cooperative philosophy. He changed his solar energy business to reflect a model of conscientious capitalism and cooperative principles, with a focus on social enterprise. Since then, his business has grown significantly. From installing three solar panel projects in the first year of business to 14 in the second, Dantas implemented 54 projects in year three—crediting that growth to the cooperative spirit he injected into his business model.Pedro Dantas explains how his Sicredi Youth Committee changed his business model for the better.Our international delegation also learned how the Youth Committees are inspiring members to help their local communities through development projects. They visited the dairy farm of WYCUP participant and Sicredi Youth Committee member Marcos Paulino, who created a community development project that provides technical assistance to other farmers in the region. As a direct result of his efforts, the region is now recognized for producing the highest quality milk in the country and has led to new government standards based upon his techniques. Small farmers affiliated with the project have also increased productivity and improved the sustainability of their operations.Estancia Paulino, site of a Sicredi Youth Committee Development Project for local farmers.Bringing Sicredi’s Youth Committee model to the worldDuring an ideation session at the end of the Brazil Immersion Program, participants agreed on the tremendous potential for replicating the Youth Committee model at credit unions around the world and networking them through the World Council Young Credit Union Professionals (WYCUP) program. Credit unions can create an entirely new professional development opportunity for young people. The concept is already opening eyes on the potential for financial cooperatives in Brazil. Now, we want to bring it to the world.During the 2020 Global Youth Summit in Manchester, our delegation of young professionals will build upon the lessons learned from Brazil and contribute to the development of toolkit for replicating the Youth Committee methodology at credit unions around the world. Their multinational perspective will provide useful guidance for implementing Youth Committees across the great diversity of credit unions and communities.I’m extremely excited about the opportunity to share this story with you as it unfolds. It is just the latest example of how World Council of Credit Unions is working to improve lives through credit unions—and I look forward to bringing those activities to life for credit union professionals across the globe going forward. 365SHARESShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr,Greg Neumann Greg Neumann is Corporate Communications Manager for World Council of Credit Unions.

Stuff co.nz 12 March 2016Family First Comment: A very good summary of the current status in New Zealand – and following the careful and considered process that we have called for.… The issue has become such a hot potato, not helped by misreporting, with the inevitable emotion that takes over when navigating drug access and political agendas. The problem with the Crowe and Holmes stories is that they highlighted a growing debate but also, through no fault of their own, held up as reasons why medicinal cannabis should be a free-for-all. That is a difficult pill to swallow given it implies their opinion is more worthy or holds more weight than anyone else’s and, frankly, people should be offended by that notion. This idea is being led by campaigners set on medicinal cannabis being available at the pharmacy overnight and, sadly, two respected men who lost their battles with cancer have been caught up in it.The reality is simple. The Government is not sitting on its hands doing nothing. In fact Associate Minister of Health Peter Dunne is one of many driving change. Just last month he called for a review of the guidelines for considering medicinal cannabis applications.As it stands the only approved medicinal cannabis in New Zealand is the mouth spray, Sativex. It is not funded by Pharmac and costs over $1000 a month. Any other product must be approved by Dunne. As of the end of January the ministry had received 120 applications for medicinal cannabis, of which 105 have been approved. Another five are still in progress and 10 have not been granted for various reasons. So there it is – people are applying for access to medicinal cannabis and in most cases being granted it.Dunne is on the record saying he is keeping a close watch on research and random-control trials of cannabinoid products in Israel and the United States. Once manufacturers make a product and it passes MedSafe checks it will be available in New Zealand. The point in doing it this way is that it makes no sense to reinvent the wheel in New Zealand. We’re not big enough to have the medical professionals and patients available to do the trials so it makes sense to piggy-back where possible, including in Australia. In short, if the United States’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves something in America, which is only a matter of time, there’s no reason it wouldn’t be of a good enough standard for New Zealand. Then it would be a case of Pharmac negotiating a price and potentially subsidising it….READ MORE: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/77758647/guidelines-for-medicinal-cannabis-applications-are-under-review-as-access-looks-set-to-broaden.html
“I just want to be on the pitch. And if I play number 10 or on the flanks it’s not a problem.” The discussion is something which shows their relationship is good, contrary to rumours suggesting Hazard was angling for a move to Real Madrid, a subject which was off the agenda. “I heard a lot of things about this, but no, everything is good with him,” Hazard added. “I don’t have a problem with him. He is the best manager. He is the best manager for Chelsea and we hope we can win a lot of trophies together. “Maybe not this season because it will be difficult, but next season and on.” Chelsea hope to build on the win, firstly at Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday, while games with Tottenham, Bournemouth, Porto, Leicester, Sunderland, Watford and Manchester United lie in wait before the end of 2015. Hazard said: “We want to keep going like this and we want to finish in the end in the top four.” Chelsea have endured a miserable start to the season domestically, but can qualify for the Champions League knockout stages with victory in Israel, if Porto beat Dynamo Kiev. While Chelsea are looking up, Norwich’s focus is on Premier League survival, with boss Alex Neil aggrieved not to be awarded a penalty when Robbie Brady was bundled over by Willian in the first half. Neil was continually hounding fourth official Roger East after referee Craig Pawson made the call, with Mourinho keeping his counsel after long complaining Chelsea are wronged against by officials. “I’m there fighting for my team,” the Scot said. “Referees have got a difficult job but the bottom line is if you don’t remonstrate, and you don’t ask for decisions and you don’t appeal for them, ultimately you won’t get them. It’s as simple as that. “It would be interesting if Jose managed one of the bottom teams what his thoughts would be because it’s very different, I can assure you. “When you’re not at at home and everybody, apart from those in a wee corner, are shouting at the referee and putting him under pressure, it’s very different. “And not only that, he has got a high-profile manager standing at the side like Jose shouting in the fourth official’s ear about decisions as well. “Referees are only human so it is going to have some effect somewhere along the way. “Whether it makes a difference in the decision or not remains to be seen.” Eden Hazard was at a loss to explain his and Chelsea’s dramatic slump in form as the playmaker showed glimpses of his best in Saturday’s victory over Norwich. The holders claimed just a fourth win from 13 games of the Barclays Premier League campaign as Diego Costa’s goal secured a 1-0 success at Stamford Bridge for the Blues to climb above their opponents to 15th in the table. Jose Mourinho’s position as manager had been under scrutiny after three straight league losses for the first time in Roman Abramovich’s 12-year ownership. The Portuguese was subject of a first vote of confidence in that period last month. Hazard’s form has been in stark contrast to the displays which helped Chelsea to a Premier League and Capital One Cup double last term, plus a host of individual honours. “I didn’t start the season well. I tried to find out why, but I don’t know,” the Belgium forward said. “Sometimes you don’t know. You have to keep going. I gave everything in training, on the pitch when I played. “I hope I can get a lot of form and try to help the team win games.” Hazard was deployed as the central playmaker, rather than his more usual left-wing role, and thrived against the Canaries. He had spoken to Mourinho about playing in the number 10 position prior to the end of Chelsea’s League Cup defence at Stoke, when Hazard missed the decisive penalty in a shootout. “I said to him: ‘Maybe we have to try to change something. If I can play number 10?’ And we try,” Hazard added. “I played a very good game in the (League) Cup in Stoke. And, (against Norwich), it was the same. Press Association
… Three new caps also includedBy Alan BaldwinLONDON, England (Reuters) – England all-rounder Ben Stokes was named yesterday in a 16-man squad for the Ashes tour to Australia despite being arrested earlier in the week for an altercation outside a Bristol nightclub.Stokes, England’s highest-profile cricketer and key match-winner, was held on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm in the early hours of Monday and released under investigation.An X-ray showed a minor fracture of a finger on the player’s right hand but he is expected to be fit for the opening game of the tour against a Western Australia XI in Perth on November 4. Stokes also retains the vice-captaincy.The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) statement announcing the squad did not mention the incident, which has been the talk of the last 24 hours.Wicketkeeper Ben Foakes was included for the first time, along with fast bowler Craig Overton and specialist spinner Mason Crane, while James Vince ends an absence dating back to August last year.Yorkshire batsman Gary Ballance, who had lost his Test place through a finger injury in July, was also included in a squad with three uncapped players.The Ashes defence starts with the first Test at the Gabba in Brisbane, November 23-27.“We have provided (captain) Joe Root and (coach) Trevor Bayliss with a well-balanced squad with options in all areas,” said national selector James Whitaker in a statement.“Foakes deserves his selection for the first time at this level. His glovework has been exemplary and he is regarded as a wicketkeeper of the highest quality.”Whitaker said Overton, who steps in for the injured Mark Wood, had also impressed for Somerset. “He has taken 43 Championship wickets this summer and will relish playing in Australian conditions,” he added.STOKES A TARGETVince’s recall comes as England seek to fill the problem number three slot. He did not feature this season after notching 212 runs at an average of 19 in his seven Tests last year.”The selectors are backing James Vince to make an impact on his recall to the Test squad,“ said Whitaker. ”He is a quality stroke-player and we believe his game will suit the Australian pitches.“His understanding of the England set-up will help him settle into the environment quickly and hit the ground running when we arrive in Perth next month.”England’s middle order is settled, with Stokes, keeper Jonny Bairstow and all-rounder Moeen Ali regularly taking turns to bat England out of trouble against South Africa and West Indies.Former England captain Mike Atherton warned, however, that Stokes would be targeted in Australia — with lingering doubts about him even making it that far.“With the investigation under way, who knows whether there may be legal ramifications that will imperil his participation in Australia,” he wrote in the Times newspaper.“Australians, on and off the field, will need no encouragement to get under his skin. Unwittingly, Stokes has brought a little more scrutiny and pressure to bear on a tour that will not be short of either.”The hosts whitewashed England 5-0 in the last Ashes in Australia in 2013/14.Stuart Broad and James Anderson, who recently took his 500th Test wicket, will again spearhead the attack although neither is naturally suited to the extra pace and bounce of Australian pitches.The ECB said former New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond had been appointed as a consultant and will be part of the England management team up to the end of second Test in Australia.Squad:Joe Root (captain, Yorkshire), Alastair Cook (Essex), Mark Stoneman (Surrey), Dawid Malan (Middlesex), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), James Vince (Hampshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Jonny Bairstow (wicketkeeper, Yorkshire), Ben Foakes (wicketkeeper, Surrey), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), James Anderson (Lancashire), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Mason Crane (Hampshire), Craig Overton (Somerset).

It’s official — the Badgers are headed to the 2020 Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. This will be Wisconsin’s 10th total appearance in the Rose Bowl since its inception in 1902 and its first since 2013 when it fell to Stanford by a score of 20–14. Football: Badgers fall flat in second half, lose to The Ohio State University in Big Ten ChampionshipThe No. 8 University of Wisconsin football team (10-3, 7-3 Big Ten) lost 34–21 against No. 1 The Ohio State Read…It was a wild roller coaster of a regular season that led the Badgers to this point. They were upset by an over 20 point underdog in Illinois, they thumped Michigan and Minnesota and they suffered a defeating blowout loss to the Buckeyes. Yet down the stretch, the Badgers did what needed to be done in order to secure their spot in what is arguably the best non-CFP bowl game that college football has to offer. Even after making the Big Ten championship after securing wins against Iowa and Minnesota, the Badgers still had to hope the committee did not put Penn State ahead of them in the rankings. This would most likely ensure Penn State would be preparing to face off against Oregon in Pasadena instead of the Badgers. If the Badgers were to have been blown out against the Buckeyes, this was a significant possibility as the Badgers would end the season with three losses while Penn State would have only two — neither of which were to an unranked Illinois team. But the Badgers held tough even as they gave up their 21–7 halftime lead over the Buckeyes in their 34–21 loss. Football: Wisconsin’s Rose Bowl projections in ruthless Big Ten landscapeThe Wisconsin Badgers pulled off the feat of capturing the Big Ten West title despite the fact that both Iowa Read…Penn State will certainly argue their contest with The Ohio State University was a closer affair as the two teams were separated by just 11 points. Compared with the Badgers’ losses to Ohio State University by 31 and 13 points, there is an argument to be made that Penn State deserved to represent the Big Ten against the PAC 12. Performances against Michigan and Minnesota tell the real story, though. Both Wisconsin and Penn State hosted the Wolverines earlier in their regular seasons. Wisconsin dominated Michigan 35–14 while Penn State barely snuck past by one touchdown. Penn State was even saved late in the game as a Wolverine WR dropped a potentially game-tying pass right in the middle of the end zone. Again, both Wisconsin and Penn State traveled to Minneapolis to take on the Gophers. The Badgers walked away with a commanding win over their arch-nemesis while the Nittany Lions ran back to Happy Valley with their tails tucked between their legs. They might have won the score differential vs. Ohio State, but, ultimately, who cares? Wisconsin beat the team that Penn State couldn’t and only added a third loss to their record because they had to play what is arguably the best team in the nation. Football: Four takeaways from Badgers’ dominant win over Minnesota in border battleThe No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) reclaimed the Axe and booked their ticket to the Big Ten Read…The Badgers earned their right to play in the Big Ten Championship game against OSU. No team should be punished for making it to their respective conference championship game, especially when that game is against the No. 1 ranked team in the nation. If the committee had decided to relegate the Badgers to the Cotton Bowl or Citrus Bowl, that’s exactly what they would have done. Wisconsin put up a hard fight against OSU. They earned their trip to the Rose Bowl and earned the chance to break their current three game losing streak in Pasadena. In fact, the last time the Badgers won the Rose Bowl was January 1, 2000. If they manage to defeat Oregon in this coming edition of the Rose Bowl, it will have been exactly a 20 year drought since they last held that title.
Football coach Marc Collat has been confirmed for a second stint as the coach of the Haitian national team after signing a two-year contract recently.Collat, the former French U-18 team coach, was previously in charge of the team from 2014-2015 but parted ways after what is believed to be a wage dispute with the Haitian Football Federation (HFF). With a vacancy in the national program last year, however, the coach returned and took charge of the Haitian unit which put in impressive performances against Japan and the United Arab Emirates. With the coach’s intimate knowledge of the squad, however, the HFF opted to renew his contract with extended responsibilities.“The mission of the new coach will be even wider than in his first lease with the Haitian Football Federation,” President of the HFF Yves Jean-Bart explained.“He will be coach, but considering his past at the training club of Paris Saint-Germain, we chose to involve him even more in training especially in the category of players under 15 years. We are discussing with two renowned physical trainers who want to live in Haiti to complete the group to ensure better training for our young footballers.”The coach is also expected to take charge of the national U-20 women’s football ahead of the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers.
