As I sat there at the remote Cape Bise in northern Okinawa, with the sun setting, the warm sun on my shoulders, and a cold Orion beer in my hand, I felt I could stay there forever. And ever. And ever.
"What time is your flight back tomorrow?" I teased my husband.
The next day, we departed Motobu and drove the two hours back to Naha to get to the airport, for what was supposed to be an easy, quick, two-hour flight back to Hong Kong.
We boarded the plane, and waited. One hour passed. We wondered what was going on, why the delay.
Finally the captain informed the passengers that there was a technical problem, and they were trying to locate an engineer to come fix it.
Joy of joys! My first reaction — YES!!! If this plane can't get off the ground, we get another day in Okinawa! One more extra bonus day! Yaaaaaay!
So, we waited. And waited. Another hour passed. The cabin crew served more drinks and snacks to try to keep the passengers calm. I wasn't too worried — I was thinking about the all-you-can-drink all-you-can-eat restaurant in Naha that we could go to once we got off the plane. I was excited.
We waited. A third hour passed. Excitement started to turn to boredom. What the hell was going on? What was taking so long?
After the third hour, the captain finally admitted that nothing could be done, and we would in fact have to disembark, get our bags, and spend the night in Okinawa.
Some passengers clapped! After all, it was a Friday, so it's not like they were rushing to get back to work the following day. An extra night, in a hotel paid for by the airline? Score!
What we didn't count on was it taking another two hours before we could disembark. By then everyone was just tired, and fed up, and ready to go.
Five hours! Sitting on a plane! For a two hour flight! We could have flown to Hong Kong and back in five hours. I was genuinely surprised that the passengers didn't revolt.
We had arrived at the airport at 2pm, and by the time we reached the hotel it was past 10pm. We were starving, and sweaty, and tired, and cranky. We dropped off our bags, and went out to find a place to eat some dinner, but found out that by local law, you can't take a child into an izakaya after 10pm, so we had to walk around some more to try to find a place to take her. So, I'm sad to say our 'bonus' night in Naha was not quite as fun and we might have imagined, and was much more hassle than it was worth!
Despite that travel hiccup, it was an otherwise beautiful, wonderful, relaxing trip. Motobu, in the northern part of the island, is a quiet peninsula full of beaches, coves, and smaller islands connected by bridge. The best place that we went to was Cape Bise, a remote little beach with very few people, no lifeguards, no loudspeakers playing music, and no jet skis.
If you can manage to find the tiny sign that leads you to Cape Bise (or in Japanese, Bisezaki), you'll find a little piece of paradise with incredible snorkelling. Parking is ¥500 and there are public bathrooms and even pay showers at a tiny dive shop, if you need to wash off after the dip. Just behind the beach is a beautiful path that goes through a tunnel of trees. It's green and shady, and you can rent bicycles to ride through it. But it is hard to find indeed!
Don't make me go back to Hong Kong, mum!
Motobu has loads of hotels, since the Churaumi Aquarium is in Motobu, but this time we took a chance and stayed at what is known in Japanese hotel terminology as a 'pension'. Meaning that it's cheap and a bit basic, but otherwise fine. Not the nicest place we've stayed, not by a long shot, but the owners of this budget stay offered all kinds of fun activities, like shisa making and learning how to play Okinawa's native instrument, the three-stringed sanshin. Our shisa (the one on the right, in yellow and red) came out looking like a canine drag queen, but we took it home anyway, and it is now sitting on our window ledge, staring at us when we wash dishes.
Anyway, with just a two-hour flight, I know Okinawa is a place we'll go back to again and again.
You went to Okinawa for your anniversary?
Beautiful places! I want to visit there sometime. That 5 hour wait on the plane must have been so boring (but it makes for a good story).
So glad you were able to enjoy Okinawa. It looks great and relaxing. Miss you guys.

On September 13th, 1814, lawyer and poet Francis Scott Key was negotiating the release of American prisoners aboard a British ship when he became a prisoner, himself. Held through the night, he watched the relentless bombardment of Baltimore by land and sea, and finally, a resilient American flag flying above Fort McHenry the next morning. Inspired, Key wrote a poem that would change our culture forever. Here are 10 surprising facts about our national anthem, and the flag that inspired it.
1. The melody is set to an old English drinking tune.
Ironically, the melody of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is English—not American. The tune comes from the old drinking song, "To Anacreon in Heav'n," the official ditty of an 18th century London men's social club called the Anacreontic Society.
2. And before it became our anthem, it was an American drinking tune, too.
Back in the days before national media, one of the best ways for a politico to reach the common man was through catchy tunes sung at bars and parties. So while second president John Adams was campaigning for reelection against Thomas Jefferson in 1800, he borrowed the old Anacreon tune for a propaganda poem called "Adams and Liberty." The poem warned against mercantilism and foreign involvement, spearing Jefferson's notorious pro-French sympathies. Jefferson's camp countered with "Jefferson and Liberty," a 15-verse defense or free speech and religion sung to an Irish jig. Jefferson won the election, but Adams' song may have single-handedly turned a British tune into an American earworm.
3. The lyrics come from a poem.
Francis Scott Key penned the words of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in Baltimore on September 14, 1814. But these lyrics were originally intended as a poem called "Defense of Fort McHenry," written after witnessing an American flag raised triumphantly above a Baltimore stronghold the morning after a 27-hour British bombardment (as the poem says, "our flag was still there.") Key's brother-in-law first made the connection between the poem's words and the Anacreon tune a few days later, printing it with sheet music in The Baltimore Patriot on September 20th.
4. The original sheet music contains an infamous spelling mistake.
There are only about a dozen copies left of the original 1814 sheet music imprint of Key's "The Star-Spangled Banner." The original edition can be easily identified by the misprint "A Pariotic Song" in its subtitle.
5. There is more than one verse.
6. The real Star-Spangled Banner has a sibling.
In 1813 a woman named Mary Pickersgill, a Baltimore flag maker, was asked to make two flags for Fort McHenry. One of these, the 30-foot by 42-foot army flag would later become the Star-Spangled Banner. Its sibling, a smaller storm flag, measured 17 x 25 feet and was designed to withstand even the toughest of weather, saving wear and tear on the larger flag.
7. The song sounds much different now than it did 200 years ago.
Francis Scott Key himself wouldn't recognize today's version of the national anthem. The song was originally intended for a group of people to sing together. Today "The Star-Spangled Banner" has become a complete soloist affair, and the pace and general tempo is often much slower.
8. Today, the song is difficult for even a trained singer.
Many superstar singers struggle to sing our national anthem: From Christina Aguilera forgetting the words at Super Bowl XLV to Michael Bolton writing the lyrics on his hand, the song doesn't come easy. Kenneth Slowik, director of the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society, says, "It has a lot to do with the range…Basically, the notes are very high." Particularly throat-straining: singing the highest note of the piece on the "e" at the end of "free." Don't believe it? Try it.
9. Our national anthem exists because of a cartoon!
America didn't have a national anthem until 1931—and it could have taken longer if not for a cartoon. In 1929, Robert Ripley published an item in his syndicated "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" cartoon pointing out the fact that America did not have a national anthem. After Ripley received many letters of backlash, he told these upset patriots that their efforts would be better spent writing their congressmen. This led to a five-million-signature petition asking Congress for a national anthem. It worked. In 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a law making "The Star-Spangled Banner" the official national anthem of the United States of America.
10. The actual Star-Spangled Banner was hidden away during WWII.
In 1907, the famous flag that flew above Fort McHenry first came to the Smithsonian Museum in the National Mall, and has only left once since Eben Appleton permanently donated it in 1914. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt felt that the Japanese could possibly attack the National Mall, so from 1942 to 1944 the flag and many other treasures were sent to Shenandoah National Park near Luray, Virginia, for safekeeping. Today, the war-weary flag that inspired our anthem is on permanent exhibition at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

Why Did Christianity Make Rome Look So Good?
April 18, 2017 April 18, 2017 Center for Tanakh Based Studies
By: William Jackson
History tell us that Rome ruled over Israel with an iron fist during the time of Jesus. Yet, when we read the New Testament, although Roman cruelty is professed, we also see the Roman softer side. For example, we have the faithful Roman Officer in Matthew 8:10 and the hesitation of Emperor Pilate in cosigning Jesus' demise. Understandably, this duality of Rome seems questionable, it being both cruel and compassionate. Often when historical accounts clash there is a third answer lurking just below the surface. Come, let us use historical facts and the New Testament to determine Rome's underlying motive.
Roman Authority: Pontius Pilate was the Roman Governor that will always be known throughout history as giving Jesus' death sentence. As sources from that period, we have two credible Jewish writers; Philo of Alexandria and Titus Flavius Josephus 1. Both report that Pilate kept the Jewish populace on the fringe of insurrections because of his insensitivity to Jewish customs. For starters, Philo describes that Pilate intentionally had graven images displayed in Jerusalem to antagonize the Jews. Josephus also records how Pilate spent Temple monies to build an aqueduct. In doing this, he anticipated a protest. Pilate, eager for a fight, had assassins placed in the protesting crowd that ended up killing antagonists after the first sign of Jewish dissension. As Philo so accurately says about Pilate, he possessed a "vindictiveness and furious temper", and was "naturally inflexible, a blend of self-will and relentlessness". Yet, when we read from the gospels; Matthew (Matthew 27), Mark (Mark 15), Luke (Luke 23) and John (John 18-19), we see this cruel decisive Roman Ruler portrayed as uncertain and passive. Here, Jesus' executioner, who has never had a problem with killing a Jew and starting a rebellion before, now is painted as a bureaucratic victim to the Jewish will – "really?". To further validate this point, Christianity gives the brunt of the blame to the Jew (1 Thessalonians 2:14-15, Acts 7:52). Allegations against the Jews like this are confounding, especially since it was the Romans who not only killed Jesus, but also tortured him. Another interesting twist is how, at the end of the gospels, it is Romans that vindicate Jesus by stating "Surely he was the Son of God!" (Matthew 27:54) and "Certainly this man was innocent!" (Luke 23:47). Talk about wagging the dog.
Yes, as Christians, we were taught that Pilate's hesitation was because he was in awe, secretly knowing this was the Messiah. Ok, let us pretend that is correct. Here we have a Roman ruler looking for every excuse in the book to antagonise the Jews and their establishment. So, why wouldn't he let this self proclaimed "King of the Jews" live? What better way to come up against the Jewish hierarchy? I mean really, Pilate was already employing every excuse to vex the Jewish people possible. Yet, we are to believe that this evil Pilate caves in and all of a sudden decides to become conflicted, loyal to the wishes of a people he loathes?
And what about the other Roman officials? If we can believe the historical writers of the day about Pontius Pilate, we can also assume that his officers would not have been friendly with the locals, to say the least. We could also assume that the Jewish people didn't have a lot of love for their oppressors. Nonetheless, Jesus makes boastful claims about Roman Officers and officials such as "I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all Israel! (Matthew 8:10) and "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel." (Luke 7:9). Wow, so these pagans have been elevated over God chosen people (Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 7:6-8, 14:2), talk about an awesome PR campaign.
Taxes: Roman Taxes imposed on the average Israelite during the beginning of the first century common era (CE) would have only been about 1 % of a worker's income 2. This certainly makes most of us Americans, who are paying over 30% in taxes 3, a little jealous. Notwithstanding, this 1% tax situation, wasn't the real issue. It was the additional taxes, for example, there was a customs taxes, import and export taxes, toll bridges, crop taxes, sales tax, property taxes, and special taxes when there was a war, building project or campaign to finance. 18th century America went to war with England over less. Compounding the problem was the tax collectors, who being native Israelites, made their money by adding to the taxes they collected. This is why the New Testament has so much to say against the tax collector(Matthew 9:11, Luke 7:34, 15:1, 18:11). It is, however, interesting that the resentment is only aimed at these Israelites and not Rome.
On top of these exorbitant taxes was a moral issue, many Jews felt paying taxes to the Roman Empire was a sin. Yet, we have Jesus making the statement;
"Well, then," he said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." (Matthew 22:21).
This certainly pacified Christians of that day giving them a theology to be subservient and pay taxes to an occupational force. Yes, the Tanakh (Old Testament) does support being responsible to the laws of the land (Proverbs 21:1 Daniel 2:21, 4:17), but this was taxation "without" representation. As we have seen with the Torah, we do have a moral responsibility to come up against the establishment when things are unjust (Genesis 21:22–34, 31:1-18, Exodus 1:1:15-21) .
So, why the positive spin towards Rome? Simply said, it is very possible Rome had a lot to gain from Christianity and capitalized from it. Consulting the history books, shortly after the supposed New Testament was penned, Rome would crush Israel in the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE). As brutal as this was to Israel, there would be two more consecutive Jewish Roman Wars (115-117 CE and 132-136 CE). Consequently, paralleling these Roman Wars against Jewish Israel was the Roman persecution of the Christians. There were centuries where Rome tried to eliminate both Judaism and Christianity. However, about three centuries after Christianity was formed, things would turn around. The Roman Emperor Constantine became one of Christianity's greatest supporters, and in 313 CE Constantine enacted legislation to protect this new religion. Over 60 years after that, Christianity would bcome the religion of Rome 4. Conversely, at the same time, Constantine passed restrictions towards Judaism.
So, how did the gospels ended up favoring Rome, when it would take about 300 years for Rome to favor the gospels? Well, the Christian New Testament, as we know it, didn't come into being until 393 CE 5 (about 3 decades after Christianity became the religion of Rome). Before the process of accepting these 27 books that would become the New Testament, there were over 100 books and over 50 gospels 6 that Christians followed. These 150 plus books presented a problem. Many of them contradicted each other and challenged the new Roman Christian theology. So, after this collection of Christian books was pared down, only 27 remained. Likewise, from the over 50 gospels only four were chosen. These four books, not surprisingly, endorsed Christianity's new homeland – Rome.
As Karl Marx so eloquently states it, "Religion is the opium of the people". Constantine lived this maxim, well before Mr. Marx coined it. One of the things that may have inspired Constantine, could have been the vigor of the Christian martyr. As we know, many early Christians easily exchanged their lives, so as to not swear allegiance to the Roman Emperor. This martyrdom, which might have seemed foolish, surely gave testimony of a convicted people. Rome might have tried to harness this passion. Another possibility is that Christianity may have been such a strong movement that Rome got caught up in the inertia. Either way, Rome appeared to have colored the early Christian writings to make them appear to support the Empire (Taxes and Authority), while ostracizing Judaism.

Der Össek (;  Usek) ist ein rechter Nebenfluss des Ili im kasachischen Gebiet Schetissu.

Der Össek entspringt im vergletscherten Toqsanbai-Gebirgszug südlich des Dsungarischen Alatau. Er fließt anfangs in südwestlicher Richtung durch das Gebirge. Bei Verlassen des Berglands trifft der Kischi Össek (Кіші Өсек – "Kleiner Össek") von Westen kommend auf den Fluss. Dieser wendet sich anschließend nach Süden. Der Össek durchfließt die Stadt Scharkent. Weiter südlich passiert er die Siedlung Scholaqai. Der Össek erreicht ein großes Sumpfgebiet, das er in einem großen Bogen nach Westen durchfließt. Schließlich erreicht er den Ili. Der Fluss hat eine Länge von 164 km. Sein Einzugsgebiet umfasst 1970 km². Am Pegel Taldy (nördlich von Scharkent) beträgt der mittlere Abfluss 15,7 m³/s.

Jet lag is not fun. Known by the medical community as desynchronosis, the condition occurs when you travel rapidly and over long distances along the Earth's east-west axis in either direction. (It doesn't happen if you travel along the north-south axis.) This is because your body's circadian rhythms, your internal clock that tells you when it's day and when it's night, take a while to catch up to the new time zone.
The symptoms of jet lag include poor sleep (trouble falling asleep and/or early waking), mental fogginess, fatigue, headaches, irritability, digestion problems and reduced interest in food. If you regularly take long-distance flights, many of these symptoms will sound familiar.
But there is hope for bleary-eyed travelers, as scientists are hard at work trying to find a cure for jet lag, or at least something that will mitigate its effects. The latest advance comes from the Stanford University School of Medicine where researchers have discovered a new light-based treatment. Unlike other light exposure methods, which require sitting in front of bright lights for hours, the new discovery involves quick, bright flashes of light at night, while you sleep.
It works because the body is more sensitive to light during the nighttime, even through closed eyelids. The flashes are enough to fool the brain into thinking it's daytime (this is a kind of "biological hack," say the researchers) and adjust its circadian rhythms to a different time zone. With 2-millisecond flashes, which look similar to what a camera flash produces, spaced 10 seconds apart during sleep, the onset of sleepiness for study participants was delayed by close to two hours. Traditional light therapy, which uses continuous light during the daytime, achieves a delay of the onset of sleepiness of about 36 minutes.
Best of all for weary travelers, the researchers have found that most people can sleep through the flashes just fine, so in theory travelers could get the benefits from this new therapy with little inconvenience.
The study was published in February in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Bleary-eyed travelers everywhere rejoice! There may be a solution for jet lag symptoms.

So, we stopped by to see what Dale and the gang were up to today in downtown Fawnskin. Don't 'cha just love that GG can share these breaking news photos with you?
Seriously, what would you do without me?
Insulation is going in today and a new roof is next.
We are hoping this is a sign that Fawnskin is having a resurgence and will be the beginning of a downtown revitalization program.
You know, like the real towns have in other locations around the state.
Now if you are a resident of Fawnskin, you know that although some businesses are up and running and looking mighty good, we have a few businesses on the main drag that are looking pretty poorly and several buildings that are condemned or that have been prevented from updating for one reason or another.
But a whole lot of us don't have business frontage on the main drag…call it "cabin" industry but there are more businesses in the hills than on the strip.
A lot of folks forget that or simply ignore that fact.
Now people around these parts love Fawnskin and the mountains but I still find it funny that my pals camp up at Hanna Flat.
But even more interesting is that Snoop Sister Deb is getting ready to camp out herself.
GG got to experiment with tent set up–which has come a long way since those vintage canvas tents that were such a pain to erect.
In fact, I used to just take my bag and sleep under the stars instead of messing with the things…but then mosquitoes like me too much so I stopped that nonsense.
How about you–do you go camping around here or in other locations?
Personally, I like a good bed instead of roughing it but my favorite place to camp is near the beach not in the mountains.
I'll be enjoying the beach soon–so when I disappear for a while don't panic.
In the meantime, I don't have anything else to share except that a lot of Fawnskin Folks were at the Discovery Center on Saturday night kicking up their heels.
Seriously, you people have got to keep GG in the know and give me the dirt in advance so I can snap photos and make up some good stories about you!
This entry was posted on Monday, July 18th, 2011 and is filed under Mountain Lake Resort, Small Town Living.
So where is this construction located? A business? – a home? – can't quite figure it out.

The drama and sheer variety of Scotland's natural features never fails to impress visitors. Though small, the country offers an amazing range of landscapes, from the gentle rolling hills of Dumfries and Galloway to the breathtaking peaks of the Cairngorms, and from the rugged coastlines of the north east to the sub-tropical gardens of Wester Ross.
The national flag of Scotland, known as the Saltire or St. Andrew's Cross, dates from the 9th century, and is thus the oldest national flag still in use. Since 1606 the Saltire has also formed part of the design of the Union Flag. There are numerous other symbols and symbolic artefacts, both official and unofficial, including the thistle, the nation's floral emblem.
The whole of Scotland was covered by ice sheets during the Pleistocene ice ages and the landscape is much affected by glaciation.
From a geological perspective the country has three main sub-division:-.
The Highlands and Islands lie to the north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, which runs from Arran to Stonehaven. This part of Scotland largely comprises ancient rocks from the Cambrian and Precambrian, which were uplifted during the later Caledonian Orogeny. It is interspersed with igneous intrusions of a more recent age, the remnants of which have formed mountain massifs such as the Cairngorms and Skye Cuillins.
A significant exception to the above are the fossil-bearing beds of Old Red Sandstones found principally along the Moray Firth coast. The Highlands are generally mountainous and the highest elevations in the British Isles are found here. Scotland has over 790 islands, which are divided into four main groups: Shetland, Orkney, and the Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides. There are numerous bodies of freshwater including Loch Lomond and Loch Ness. Some parts of the coastline consist of machair, a low lying dune pasture land.
The Southern Uplands are a range of hills almost 200 kilometres (124 mi) long, interspersed with broad valleys. They lie south of a second fault line (the Southern Uplands fault) that runs from Girvan to Dunbar. The geological foundations largely comprise Silurian deposits laid down some 4–500 million years ago. The high point of the Southern Uplands is Merrick with an elevation of 843 m (2,766 ft). The Southern Uplands is home to the UK's highest village, Wanlockhead (430 m/1,411 ft above sea level).
Scotland is a beautiful country with a lot of variety, which gives the average visitor plenty of activities to choose from.
For one thing it is known as a bicycler's paradise with many quiet country roads and cycling paths that are perfect for this activity. Those traveling light can choose to cycle from town to town and city to city as they discover many beautiful parts of Scotland that would otherwise not be noticed.
Hiking is another activity that is certainly very popular – especially in the more rugged parts of the country where cycling is somewhat more difficult. Hiking enables a person to get closer to the natural surrounds without startling creatures nearby and requires only a bit of fitness and a good pair of shoes. Of course, if you are planning to hike for longer than a day, you will also have to invest in a good backpack, but some walking trails even make use of hospitable farmers who gladly provide overnight accommodation and lighten your load considerably.
Archery has been a part of the United Kingdom since the earliest times and today it is a much-loved sport. Even if you have never given it a try before, you can certainly attempt some archery in Scotland when you are on your next holiday. Local instructors will provide you with the equipment and instruction necessary to get you started and you may well discover that shooting with a bow and arrow is a whole lot of fun.
For those who are a little more adventurous, there are the options of kart racing, off-road driving, paintball and skiing. Kart racing will make you feel like a child all over again as you wind your way around the karting track and do your best to overtake your friends. Paintball will give you a whole new adrenaline rush as you stalk through the bushes and try to outwit and outplay the opposing team, while off-road driving provides a mental and physical challenge that simply cannot be topped.
The tranquil sport of fishing needs no introduction and there are many, many great spots in Scotland where fishing is an every-day activity. Horse riding is a very popular way of getting out in the countryside and enjoy the wonders of nature while sphereing adds a whole new dimension to your holiday activities. So make sure you get the most out of your holiday and enjoy as many of these activities in Scotland as possible.
Scotland certainly has many treasures crammed into its compact territory and there is something for all tastes.
For the history buff, few cities compare with Edinburgh and Glasgow. There is wild mountain scenery of the Highlands & Northern Islands and cold, sparkling seas washing against the Outer Hebrides. Wildlife watchers will find otters, eagles, whales and dolphins, while hill walkers have almost 300 Munros to bag.
Although an integral part of Great Britain since 1707, Scotland has maintained a separate and distinct identity throughout the last 300 years. The return of a devolved Scottish parliament to Edinburgh in 1999 marked a growing confidence and sense of pride in the nation's achievements.
Scheduled Car, Passenger and Freight Ferries between Northern Ireland and Scotland are run by Stena Line and P&O Irish Sea ferries.
Stena Line travels the Belfast−Stranraer route and P&O Irish Sea the Larne−Troon and Larne−Cairnryan routes. There's a choice of standard and high-speed ferries on the Stranraer and Cairnryan routes, high speed only on the Troon route.
From May to early September, Smyril Line operates a weekly car ferry between Shetland (Lerwick), the Faroe Islands (Torshavn), Iceland (Seydisfjordur), Norway (Bergen) and Denmark (Hantsholm). It leaves from Lerwick on Monday for Bergen, and on Wednesday for Torshavn and Seydisfjordur.
Superfast Ferries runs a car ferry between Rosyth, 12 miles northwest of Edinburgh, and Zeebrugge in Belgium.

Case: Casey v. Lewis
2:90-cv-00054 | U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona
Filed Date: Jan. 12, 1990
Closed Date: May 22, 2000
Case Name: Casey v. Lewis
Docket Number: 2:90-cv-00054
This is a Section 1983 case brought in federal district court for the District of Arizona (Judge Roger Strand) by prisoners. The plaintiffs, represented by the National Prison Project of the ACLU, filed the class action complaint on January 12, 1990.

This is a Section 1983 case brought in federal district court for the District of Arizona (Judge Roger Strand) by prisoners. The plaintiffs, represented by the National Prison Project of the ACLU, filed the class action complaint on January 12, 1990. The complaint named as plaintiffs all current and future adults, male and female, in the custody of the Arizona Department of Corrections. The defendants were officials of the Arizona Department of Corrections. The primary allegations of the complaint were defendants' deliberate indifference to prisoners' serious medical needs, failure to provide prisoners meaningful access to the courts and counsel, and failure to provide prisoners due process in segregation assignments, in alleged violation of the First, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. Based on these claims, plaintiffs requested equitable relief.
Plaintiffs soon after filed an amended class action complaint that included additional claims regarding defendants' failure to accommodate handicapped prisoners and denial of equal protection of the law to female prisoners. The District Court granted plaintiffs' motion for class certification on June 27, 1990.
According to the docket, the matter was consolidated with Arnold v. Lewis, Civil Action No. 91-CV-1808, MH-AZ-001, on September 3, 1992.
On September 6, 1991, the District Court held: blanket prohibition of attorney contact visits in certain prison units was invalid, and a policy prohibiting assignment of HIV positive prisoners to food service employment violated the Rehabilitation Act. Casey v. Lewis, 773 F. Supp. 1365 (D. Ariz. 1991). Defendants appealed this decision. The Ninth Circuit vacated in part and reversed in part, holding that the prohibition against certain inmates having visitation with attorneys was reasonably related to legitimate penological interests and that the HIV positive inmates lacked standing to challenge the food service policy. Casey v. Lewis, 4 F.3d 1516 (9th Cir. 1993).
In a separate decision, the District Court held that the law library facilities and inmate access violated the prisoners' right of access to courts. Casey v. Lewis, 834 F. Supp. 1553 (D. Ariz. 1992). Defendants appealed. The Ninth Circuit affirmed in part, vacated in part holding that defendants legal access program unconstitutionally denied inmates access to courts. Casey v. Lewis, 43 F.3d 1261 (9th Cir. 1994). Certiorari was granted and the Supreme Court reversed and remanded. Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343 (1996). Speaking for the Court, Justice Scalia held that the inmates couldn't establish an actual injury based on an allegation that the law library was sub par in a theoretical sense. Justice Scalia also held that delays of up to 16 days for inmates to receive legal materials did not violate their constitutional right of access to the courts, provided that the delays were reasonably related to legitimate penological interests. The Court vacated the part of the district court's order regarding law libraries. The rest of the order remained in force.
While the appellate and Supreme Court litigation unfolded, in a series of decisions from 1991 to 1993, the District Court held: the treatment available to mentally ill inmates violated the Eighth Amendment; unequal treatment of male and female inmates violated the equal protection rights of female inmates; and the failure to provide handicap access to disabled inmates violated the Eighth Amendment rights of inmates. Casey v. Lewis, 834 F. Supp. 1477 (D. Ariz. 1993); 834 F. Supp. 1569 (D. Ariz. 1993). However, the District Court also held that inmate classification and administrative segregation policies did not create liberty interests for inmates in a particular classification. Casey v. Lewis, 837 F. Supp. 1009 (D. Ariz. 1993).
In February 1999 Magistrate Judge Virginia Mathis recommended the court find defendants to be in ""substantial compliance"" with the injunction regarding mental health and also requested that a special master be appointed for a 9-month period of observation to ensure that defendants are still found to be in substantial compliance. All parties filed a stipulation for entry of order adopting Judge Mathis' report and recommendation. Judge Strand granted the stipulation. In May 2000, all parties filed a stipulation for dismissal regarding termination of injunctive relief and dismissal of the matter. On May 22, 2000, Judge Strand granted the stipulation and dismissed the action.

On the day of the concert, they were both out. The teacher asked if I wanted to cut the song or do it alone. I decided to do it, and although I messed up a few lyrics, I felt more power in that moment than I had ever felt in all my 7 years.
Favorite post-show meal: Cereal with cold milk is my reward for getting through a long day at the "office." I'm salivating now just thinking about it.
Worst costume ever: I had this beautiful dress in Kiss Me, Kate that I wore for a little scene where I literally crossed from one side of the stage to the other. It was a complete change including jewelry, hat, shoes, hose, bra... I spent more time getting it on and off than I did wearing it onstage!
Who would play you in the movie? Betty White! She's totally hot right now!
Worst job you ever had: Perfume sprayer in Macy's Herald Square. People hate you and they let you know about it!
"I'll never understand why…" ...cellulite was invented! Why! Why! Why!

Husayn of Zaragoza (in the Arabic sources Al Hossain ibn Yahia al Ansari ibn Saad al Obadi and  Ḥusayn ibn Yaḥyà al-Anṣārī o  Al-Ḥusayn ibn Yaḥyà al-Anṣārī) was a descendant of Sa'd ibn Ubadah the companion of Muhammad, and the Wali (governor) of Zaragoza from 774 to 781.

Events during the rule of Husayn
In 774 Husayn conspired with the Qahtanite aristocracy against the emir, proclaiming the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate in Hispania. In response, the emir sent general Abd al-Melek bin Umar, who obtained the allegiance of Abu Taur of Huesca and the Wali of Tudela, but who was rejected in Zaragoza.
In 777, the Wali of Barcelona, Sulayman al-Arabi (Sulayman ibn Yaqdhan al-Kalbi in the Arabic sources) offered  Charlemagne his own allegiance and the allegiance of Husayn in Paderborn. But when in 778 Charlemagne arrived in Zaragoza, Husayn denied any promise. As Charlemagne could not take the city, he withdrew after a month, which then led to the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. In 780 Husayn had Sulayman al-Arabi killed after he returned to Zaragoza.
In 781 the Emir Abd ar-Rahman I sent general Tsalaba ben Obaid to re-take Zaragoza for the Caliphate.  After a long siege, Husayn agreed to a truce. His son, Said bin Husayn, was given to the Emir as a hostage.
According to the historian al-Nuwayri, Husayn was killed soon after his surrender.

Semester Abroad in South Korea
Course Offerings and Credit
Seoul National University School of Law, Seoul
Founded in 1895, Seoul National University became South Korea's first national university in 1946 and today is the country's leading research university. With such prestigious alumni as Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, and Kim Yong-ran, the first female justice of the Supreme Court of Korea, the University prides itself on a long history of educating Korean leaders and fostering a creative and dynamic intellectual community.
The School of Law encourages students to develop critical thinking skills towards contributing to legal and social progress within the country as well as on the international stage. The law school has 60 full-time faculty members and about 1,200 students, and the University holds academic exchange agreements with 147 institutions all over the world, ensuring a student body with international experience and a large and diverse group of visiting students. Faculty projects range from reform of civil law to the design of global legal frameworks for solving shared problems. The School of Law is also home to the Asia-Pacific Law Institute and the Law Research Institute, which publishes academic books and journals, including the Seoul Law Journal.
HLS students enrolled in this exchange program can choose from the School of Law's extensive course offerings. First, second and third year law courses (which require the instructor's permission to enroll) are offered in subjects ranging from international intellectual property to Korean legal history to climate change law. Graduate-level courses are grouped by specialization, including constitutional law, civil law, administrative law, commercial law, criminal law, international law, social law, and intellectual property law. Teaching styles vary by course and include traditional lecture-style classes, seminars, and Socratic method.
Most faculty members at SNU have spent a significant amount of time studying abroad, and many law professors have received LL.M.s and S.J.D.s from American law schools. Thus, I found the faculty to be very welcoming and rather cognizant of what sort of educational system I had grown accustomed to in the States. In particular, my faculty advisor [was] incredibly helpful throughout my time in Korea and always made himself available to answer any and all questions I had about Korean law, the Korean legal community, logistical and bureaucratic aspects of SNU, and the like."
– Alvin Lee '09 (past participant in semester abroad program, SNU)
HLS students may also take law classes offered through the University's Graduate School of International Studies. The Graduate School's Master's program in International Studies includes law courses across four major areas of study: international commerce, international cooperation, international area studies, and Korean studies. Most courses in this program are taught as seminars and promote active learning by promoting lively in-class discussions.
SNU professors grade students on a scale of 0-4.3, with 4.3 representing an A+, 4.0 an A, 3.7 an A-, 3.3. a B+, and so on down to 0.7 a D-, the lowest passing grade.
The presumption of the HLS Study Abroad Committee is that students applying for a semester abroad are proficient in the primary language of the destination country such that they are able to navigate university systems and take one or more law classes in that language. If not, the students must explain how they propose to manage these challenges and derive full benefit from a program of study abroad.
Most courses at SNU — especially courses relating to Korean law — are offered in Korean, with a small number of more general courses offered in English. HLS students with limited proficiency in Korean should carefully review the English course offerings to determine whether it is possible to create a robust program of study that is consistent with their academic interests and the requirements of the HLS semester abroad program.
Prior to study abroad, HLS students may improve their language proficiency and receive credit for foreign language courses at Harvard College in accordance with the HLS cross registration policy. Korean language courses are also available at SNU, and fees may be fully or partially covered by SNU's Office of International Affairs.
The academic year at Seoul National University begins in March and runs through the following February. The spring (or "first") semester begins on March 1 and finishes in mid-June, and the autumn (or "second") semester begins on September 1 and runs through mid-December. SNU's current academic calendar is available on its website. There is also an orientation session available during the first week of each semester.
Students interested in the Seoul National University exchange program should follow the HLS Semester Abroad application process described on the Semester Abroad Planning and Application page.
Students approved by the HLS Study Abroad Committee must also complete the SNU online application for exchange students, which includes supporting documents such as transcripts, a statement of purpose, and a letter of recommendation from an HLS professor. HLS will provide students nominated to study at Seoul National University with more information on this process.
HLS may recommend multiple JD students to study at Seoul National University each year but ultimately selection of the students will be made by SNU.
The School of Law is located on the University's Gwanak Main Campus, which is set against the backdrop of Gwanaksan Mountain, a city park with forested hiking trails and a 14th-century hermitage at its summit. Seoul's subway and bus systems provide easy access to the city center. On campus, SNU is home to over 300 student groups and clubs, encompassing everything from scuba diving to taekwondo.
Seoul is the capital of South Korea, its largest metropolitan area, and the country's political, economic and cultural center. On the international stage, the city has hosted events ranging from the Summer Olympics to a G-20 summit. Seoul is undergoing a large-scale revitalization, beginning with the restoration of the Cheong-gye waterway that divides the city in half and many historic landmarks, and offers an array of restaurants and bars, markets, museums, and parks.
SNU is able to offer housing for incoming exchange students in its graduate dormitory, off-campus dormitories, or family dormitory (for married students), and off-campus housing is available nearby. SNU's Office of International Affairs provides administrative support to visiting international students and is an excellent source of information on housing, as well as on visas, health insurance, and life and culture in Korea.
At Seoul National University, Jeehyun Hwang at interlaw@snu.ac.kr and Ms. Hyunji Lee at hyunjilee@snu.ac.kr can also provide information.

Founder of an amazing cycle service for adults and children whose freedom has been affected by disability, illness or disease.
So, Holly, we're delighted you will be joining us at our events on Friday and Saturday. Now, you are the founder of Ride Out Ride On. What's this all about?
Ride Out, Ride On is a one-to-one cycle outreach service, aimed to get people out riding who wouldn't otherwise be able to do so themselves. We use a Hase tandem – which places the client at the front of the tandem in a recumbent position, leaving the steering, shifting and braking up to me – opening up cycling to anyone irrespective of any confidence, mobility or balance issues they may have. Clients are taken on traffic-free routes, getting them out into the elements, getting them moving, and most importantly, having the sort of adventurous and unencumbered experiences that bikes are so good at opening up.
I've always been around bikes but until about four years ago I would have never considered myself a 'keen cyclist'. It was when living in France that I discovered the freedom that travelling by bike can offer, and since returning to Bristol I've spent most of my professional time working with bikes, and most of my free time riding them.
What motivated you to start RORO. What has been the response of your clients so far?
I've been lucky enough to work with some brilliant people living with a whole range of conditions. Those conditions can, however, threaten to put them in isolating positions. It's a very human need to be outside and to interact with other people, and this is something that can all too easily be taken for granted. RORO is my attempt to bring some visibility, some movement and some fun back into the lives of those who may need it the most.
The client base includes people living with stroke, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, autism, sensory impairments, amongst others, and in each case we've been able to bring the unique joy of being self-propelled, and in the great outdoors, into their lives.
How did you hear about Women's Adventure Expo? What are you most looking forward to on Saturday?
I've known about WAExpo for the last couple of years but it was when Tania, one of the founders, came on a Women of Bristol cycle tour that I put on for International Women's Day that the event came into full focus. The year's Expo is set to be a real treat, but I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Dervla Murphy. Since I was given a copy of Full Tilt: From Ireland to India with a Bicycle by my parents, Dervla has been a hero of mine. I'm also looking forward to Mel Nicholl's talk. She is a true inspiration and is too a woman of heroic proportions.
Where we can catch you at this year's Expo?
On Friday 5th October I will be leading a bike tour before the Adventure and Wellbeing event and then will be speaking about Ride Out Ride On at the 'Present your Project' session in the Watershed. Saturday 6th we will be on the North Terrace at We The Curious event suite for WAExpo2018, giving demos on the tandem. Come and have a go!
