I’ve bolded those names who are either current or former members of the BJU Board of Trustees. UPDATE: I eliminated this indication after receiving all the names who signed.

The men present who voted unanimously were either all of those or some of those. We don’t know. We can presume that the Officers were all likely present: Kevin Schaal, Gordan Dickson, Taigen Joos, Bud Steadman, and Michael Privett.

Who abstained? Bob III didn’t. Mike Harding as a present BJU Board member? Stephen Jones as a very absent member of the Royal family? Mark Minnick as a current employee?

The only name on there that I can guarantee did not abstain was Don Johnson, but he’s an old friend of mine. ;)

What do you think?

UPDATE, May 15, 2023: The Positives have added an unredacted signatory list. WutBJU will mark all those signatories on the above list in bold italics.

Multiple People Shot Along Highway In US Kentucky Suspect On The Run

Police identified the suspect as Joseph A Couch Washington, United States: Kentucky police reported an “active shooter situation” on Saturday evening near Interstate-75 in London, Kentucky, where “numerous persons” have been shot in traffic. The incident began just before 6 pm (1000 GMT) about nine miles outside of London, when officers were called for reports of multiple vehicles being fired at on Interstate 75 in Laurel County, multiple media accounts said. The shots were reportedly coming from a wooded area or an overpass. How many were shot and the nature of the injuries was not immediately clear. Police officials said the suspect had not been caught. “The below individual, Joseph A Couch, is a Person of Interest in the shooting that occurred at the Exit 49/KY-909 area. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts or location of this individual, please contact the London-Laurel County 911 Center by calling 911 or 606-878-7000.  ***DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPROACH***. Joseph A Couch is a 32-year-old white male approximately 5’10 weighing approximately 154lbs,” police said. “Please avoid I-75 around Ext 49. Until further notice! Use alternative route do not be any where in that area,” London Mayor Randall Weddle said on Facebook. Kentucky state Trooper Scottie Pennington wrote on Facebook, “The suspect has not been caught at this time and we are urging people to stay inside.” Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear wrote on X: “Kentucky, we are aware of a shooting on I-75 in Laurel County. Please avoid the area. We will provide more details once they are available.” He also asked that residents, “Please pray for everyone involved.” Agents, from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have been called in to assist the Kentucky State Police and local law enforcement, the agency posted on X, calling it a “critical incident.” London is a small city of about 8,000 residents near the Daniel Boone National Forest, about 90 miles south of Lexington. This shooting comes just days after a mass shooting at a Winder, Georgia high school that saw two teachers and two students killed and nine others wounded. Source link via The Novum Times

Preview: Blackpool vs. Stockport County - Information Global Web - #GLOBAL https://www.merchant-business.com/preview-blackpool-vs-stockport-county/?feed_id=167197&_unique_id=66bec3107c99f Sports Mole previews Saturday’s League One clash between Blackpool and Stockport County, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.Newly promoted Stockport County will look to begin the League One season with back-to-back wins when they travel to Bloomfield Road for Saturday’s meeting with Blackpool.Meanwhile, the hosts will be keen to claim their first league win of the new campaign after they failed to take anything from their away clash with Crawley Town.Google News Match preview© ImagoAfter falling three points short of the playoffs last term, Blackpool will be targeting a top-six finish as a minimum goal this season.However, their bid to win promotion to the Championship got off to a shaky start as they fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat in their away meeting with newly-promoted Crawley Town.The Tangerines produced a positive response in their Tuesday’s League Cup game against 10-man Burton Albion, cruising to a 4-0 win at the Pirelli Stadium thanks to a Matthew Pennington brace and goals from Ryan Finnigan and Lee Evans.After setting up a second-round tie against Blackburn Rovers, the Tangerines will now turn their focus to their first competitive meeting with Stockport since April 2005.Blackpool will be confident of claiming maximum points in their first home game of the season, having avoided defeat in their last 12 league matches at Bloomfield Road since losing to Northampton Town in November.© ImagoMeanwhile, Stockport are competing in the third tier for the first time since 2003-04 after winning the League Two title last term.The Hatters marked their return to the third tier with a 2-0 home win over Cambridge United which came courtesy of goals from Louie Barry and Kyle Wootton.However, they experienced a disappointing result in midweek as a youthful-looking side slumped to a 6-1 defeat in Tuesday’s clash with Championship side Blackburn.After suffering first-round elimination for the second season in a row, Stockport will look to bounce back in their first road trip of the season, and they will be able to take confidence from the fact they finished the 2023-24 campaign with the best away record in League Two.Although they have not faced Blackpool for a considerable period, the Hatters may be able to take some inspiration from the fact they have avoided defeat in each of their previous three away games against the Tangerines.Blackpool League One form:Blackpool form (all competitions):Stockport County League One form:Google News Team News© ImagoBlackpool are expected to be without the services of Dominic Thompson, Kylian Kouassi and Andy Lyons due to injury.Midfielder Albie Morgan is also set to miss Saturday’s home clash after suffering a leg injury just as he appeared to be closing in on a return to fitness.The Tangerines recently confirmed Dominic Ballard‘s arrival on a season-long loan deal from Southampton, and the England Under-19 international is likely to feature in Saturday’s matchday squad.As for the visitors, they are unable to call upon several members of their first-team squad, including Nick Powell, Lewis Fiorini and Isaac Olaofe.Stockport will have to assess club captain Lewis Bate after he picked up a knock in last Saturday’s win over Cambridge.After making wholesale changes in midweek, Dave Challinor is likely to name a similar side to the one that started the opening league game of the season. Blackpool possible starting lineup:Grimshaw; Pennington, Casey, Husband; Hamilton, Norburn, Carey, Evans, Coulson; Fletcher, RhodesStockport County possible starting lineup:Addai; Mingi, Horsfall, Pye, Touray; Onyango, Camps; Diamond, Collar, Barry; WoottonGoogle News We say: Blackpool 1-1 Stockport CountyStockport may have suffered a heavy defeat in midweek, but they opted to name a much-changed side due to their injury situation and with one eye on Saturday’s league clash.

We think the newly promoted side will do enough to take a point off their hosts, who are looking to extend their 12-game unbeaten home league run.For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here.ID:550478:1false2false3false:QQ:: from db desktop :LenBod:collect9788:Google News Previews by emailClick here to get Sports Mole‘s daily email of previews and predictions for every major game!“Sports Mole previews Saturday’s League One clash between Blackpool and Stockport County, including predictions, team news and possible lineups…”Source Link: https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/blackpool/preview/preview-blackpool-vs-stockport-prediction-team-news-lineups_550478.html http://109.70.148.72/~merchant29/6network/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/pexels-photo-6513614.jpeg BLOGGER - #GLOBAL

Nathan Pennington, the county's planning director, requested an extension on the temporary ban on cryptocurrency mining at a recent meeting. The department is working on creating regulations for this industry, which is still being debated at the congressional level. Cryptocurrency mines in nearby areas have been known for their noise, disruption, and high energy consumption. Despite the name, cryptocurrency mining does not involve physical digging but instead relies on computer servers to solve complex algorithms. Buncombe County initially imposed a moratorium on cryptocurrency mining in May of 2023, and the commissioners agreed to extend it until May 2025. In other news, Barnardsville is set to receive a new bridge to address flooding issues, with over $6.5 million in state funding allocated for the project. The new bridge near N.C. Hwy. 197 and Paint Fork Road aims to mitigate flooding from Dillingham Creek. Additionally, Buncombe County approved a seven-year agreement with FCC Environmental Services to take over solid waste management from Waste Pro starting January 1, 2025. The decision came after Waste Pro's contract extension was denied due to a proposed rate increase. The new FCC rate is set at $28.65 per month, with a locked-in price for the first two years. On a side note, Sarah Gross has been appointed as the commission's new clerk, and the county received a positive third-quarter financial report projecting revenues at 100.4% of budget.
