Subject: LANGUAGE: Reading Database
Our district has created a reading log using excel for use by 7-12
students. This log is meant to be kept by individual students and will
move electronically with a student from junior high to freshman building
to
high school. Several of the categories have pull down menus in the
first
box in a column. Genre has a pull down menu; there is a column labeled
"Code" which is an opportunity for students to indicate the reason for
reading (e.g. free, read to, lit circle). Grade is also a pull down and
lists only 7-12 as options. Rating is a 1-10 evaluation by the student.
The tabs at the bottom of the opening sheet are titled "Statistics" and
"Chart." They are self-exlanatory when you click on them. Hope this is
helpful:

Big League Baseball Hit with Racketeering Lawsuit

By Jim Loney
MIAMI (Reuters) - Fourteen former owners of the Montreal Expos baseball
team filed a $200 million fraud and racketeering lawsuit against Major
League Baseball executives on Tuesday, alleging they conspired to
eliminate big-league ball in Montreal.
The lawsuit strikes at the heart of baseball's plan to contract by
folding
two financially troubled teams, which drew criticism from fans and
players
and spurred talk Congress would strip baseball of its valuable antitrust
exemption.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Miami, alleged that
baseball
Commissioner Bud Selig and Florida Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria
intentionally undermined the viability of the Montreal Expos franchise.

New York Times
Baseball Bristles Over Group's Allegations of Racketeering
By MURRAY CHASS
<http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/17/sports/baseball/17EXPO.html>
The lawsuit charges four people with violating the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO): Selig; Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief
operating officer; Jeffrey Loria, who last winter sold the Expos to
Major
League Baseball and bought the Florida Marlins; and David Samson, the
Marlins' president.
"We allege both the mail-fraud and wire-fraud statutes of the U.S. code
have been violated on numerous occasions," said James Quinn, one of the
New York lawyers representing the Canadian companies. "That's not to say
that there's likely to be a criminal indictment where Bud is walked out
in
handcuffs."

The fight over the future of the Montreal Expos has led to a civil
lawsuit
in which a baseball commissioner is being sued for the first time under
the federal racketeering act.
Lawyers for 14 prominent Canadian companies, including one owned by the
son of the Expos' original owner, Charles Bronfman, said yesterday that
they would file a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Miami today
against
Commissioner Bud Selig, Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer,
and Jeffrey Loria, owner of the Florida Marlins and former managing
partner
of the Expos.
