Governor Murphy Signs Executive Order Increasing Capacity Limit on Outdoor Gatherings
Order Also Allows Public and Private Recreational Campgrounds to Reopen
TRENTON -- Governor Phil Murphy today signed Executive Order No. 148, increasing the limit on outdoor gatherings from 10 to 25 people and allowing recreational campgrounds to reopen with social distancing measures in place. The limit on indoor gatherings remains at 10 people. The Order takes effect immediately.
"Our steady progress on the road back has been made possible through the hard work and personal responsibility of New Jerseyans to safeguard public health," said Governor Murphy. "I'm proud that we can confidently take this step today and provide further optimism for the unofficial start of summer."
Outdoor Gatherings: The Governor's Executive Order allows outdoor gatherings of up to 25 people so long as the following rules are complied with:
The gathering must take place entirely outdoors except for restroom use;
Limit capacity to no more than 25 people at all times;
Require attendees to be six feet apart at all times, excluding immediate family members, caretakers, household members, or romantic partners;
Prohibit contact between attendees, and no organized or contact sports;
If the event is an organized gathering, the organizer should demarcate six feet of spacing in the area of the gathering to demonstrate appropriate spacing for social distancing;
Limit provided seating to single individuals, spaced six feet apart, and sanitized after each use;
Prohibit sharing of any physical items provided and require sanitization before and after each use; and
Require contactless pay options wherever feasible.
Nothing in the Order shall prevent professional athletes from fulfilling their job duties, consistent with paragraph 10 of Executive Order No. 107 (2020).
Charter Boats and Recreational Businesses: The Order rescinds the 10-person capacity limit on charter boats and recreational businesses opened under Executive Order No. 147, including archery ranges, batting cages, golf driving ranges, horseback riding, tennis clubs, and shooting ranges, and imposes a new 25-person capacity limitation with a requirement that individuals can remain six feet apart at all times.
Parks, Beaches, Boardwalks, and Lakeshores: The Order allows gatherings of no more than 25 people at State Parks and Forests, county and municipal parks, public and private beaches, boardwalks, lakes, and lakeshores, but continues to prohibit special events such as festivals, concerts, fireworks, and movies.
Recreational Campgrounds: The Order permits private and public recreational campgrounds to reopen to the public. The following shall remain closed at recreational campgrounds: picnic areas; playgrounds; pavilions; and other buildings amenities, or facilities, except restrooms and showers. Recreational campgrounds that are open to the public must comply with the same restrictions required for recreational businesses. The Department of Environmental Protection is required to prepare a phased-in reopening plan for all campgrounds located on State Parks and Forests within fifteen days.
The Order also recommends, but does not order, that people wear a face covering while at outdoor gatherings and recreational campgrounds when social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

Friedrich Theodor Fischer (* 8. September 1803 in Karlsruhe; † 14. November 1867 ebenda) war ein deutscher Architekt und badischer Baubeamter.

Leben
Fischer bekam seine fachliche Ausbildung an der staatlich geförderten privaten Bauschule in Karlsruhe, welche seit 1800 von Friedrich Weinbrenner geleitet wurde, in dem Atelier von Huot und an der Architekturschule von Franz Christian Gau in Paris. Nach seiner 1826 mit Auszeichnung bestandenen badischen Staatsprüfung unternahm er größere Studienreisen durch Deutschland, Frankreich und Italien.

Nach seiner Rückkehr aus Italien wurde Fischer 1833 zum Dienstverweser der Bau-Inspektion Heidelberg, 1835 zum Bauinspektor und 1844  zum Baurat in Karlsruhe ernannt und 1855 zum Oberbaurat befördert. 1854 wurde ihm als Nachfolger von Heinrich Hübsch die Leitung der Karlsruher Bauschule übertragen. Diese Bauschule, die seit 1800 als private Institution von Weinbrenner geleitet worden war, war seit 1825 Bestandteil der neu gegründeten Polytechnischen Schule Karlsruhe.

Ebenfalls als Nachfolger von Heinrich Hübsch wurde Fischer 1864 als Baudirektor an die Spitze der badischen Hochbauverwaltung berufen.

Bauten und Entwürfe (Auswahl)
 1826, nach Weinbrenners Tod, war Fischer der ausführende Architekt bei der Staatlichen Münze in Karlsruhe.
 Von 1831 bis 1833 errichtete er das Zollhaus in Kadelburg im Rundbogenstil
 1838/39 Wiederaufbau der durch Blitzschlag und Brand zerstörten Kath. Kirche St. Bartholomäus in Görwihl
 1843 bis 1847 erfolgten Restaurierung des Neuen Schlosses in Baden-Baden, wo er Gebäudeteile und Räume im Renaissancestil neu errichtete. Damit erreichte Fischer weitere Bekanntheit seines Talentes für das Dekorative.
 1858–59: Altes Maschinenbaugebäude der Technischen Hochschule Karlsruhe
 1861–64 erweiterte er das Polytechnikum (Hauptgebäude des KIT) und entwarf dessen Hauptportal im Rundbogenstil
 1865 erbaute Fischer im neugotischen Stil das Rathaus von Tauberbischofsheim.
 1864 Entbindungsanstalt in Freiburg. Sie wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört.
 1865–1867 erbaute er das Anatomische Institut der Universität Freiburg. Das Originalgebäude wurde im Ersten Weltkrieg zerstört, der Wiederaufbau 1944 im Zweiten Weltkrieg bombardiert.

Fischers weiteres Schaffen umfasst rund 30 evangelische und katholische Kirchen für Landgemeinden und kleinere Städte in Baden.

Auszeichnungen
 1847 Orden vom Zähringer Löwen
 1855 Ehrenmitglied des Karlsruher Architektenvereins
 1860 Ehrenmitglied des Schweizerischen Architektenvereins
 1865 Ehrenmitglied und korrespondierendes Mitglied des Royal Institute of British Architects

It's spring break. I have two kids, ages nine and 11, and I'm the only parent in this house. I work from home, as a freelance writer and creativity coach, but I didn't always work for money. For the first eight and 10 years of my kids' lives, respectively, they had a stay-at-home mom: me. Then my spouse moved out, and my paid workload has been growing ever since.
The "work" might be the dishes, the laundry, or a final edit on a draft that's due by midnight. Sometimes it's all three. I do what I can before I collapse into bed, and then I wake up at 5:45 a.m. and start all over again.
"Really?" I asked. "Do I really not play with you?" I started a mental count of the number of bike rides and scooter rides I'd fit in recently.
"Well, not as much," he said.
He's right. When my kids were released from school last Friday, kicking off their spring break, I was 450 miles away at a work conference. I don't remember a spring break during which I didn't take them on some kind of vacation, or at least a series of day-trip adventures. But there I was, returned from my conference, and what did I have on the docket for the day? Nothing. Nothing at all.
So my youngest kid headed to the neighbor's to play, and his big bro sat on the couch, watching a movie.
I did have a few small plans set for later in the week, and having just returned to an inbox full of work-related messages, I knew I'd need to work as many minutes as I could in the dark hours of the morning and night to clear my days for kid fun.
I also knew that my up-early/up-late plan would leave me exactly where I am today: exhausted.
This is the kind of reality-check exhaustion that causes items to slide off my to-do list, one after the next in a cascading avalanche. There goes weeding the overgrown yard, washing the dishes, and averting the "laundry crisis," as the nine-year-old calls it, and there goes my seventh hour of sleep, and my sixth, and God, no, not my fifth?
And here I am, at my computer, expecting myself to think and write clearly, with only a haze on the horizon.
The upside of this bone-tired exhaustion? I have no choice but to surrender to it. My brain can't multitask the way it usually does, simultaneously editing an essay in my head while planning dinner while responding to a kid who asks me to reach for one of the up-high drinking glasses while wondering how early I can get them to bed so I can really concentrate while . . .
Nope. This kind of exhaustion knocks me down to one thought, one action at a time, which means: without the effort it usually takes me to do so, I arrive, fully present, in this moment, doing this task, because it is the only thing I can do.
And then I remember that surrender—even the surrender of exhaustion—is actually kind of sweet.
In this state of surrender, as I'm walking back to my shed, which doubles as a home office, after the millionth kid interruption today, I notice that the grapevines have sprung baby grapes, with no effort or attention from me.
Then I wonder how much unnecessary tending, worrying, and planning do I do in a day? Because I'm not doing it right now, and everything, in this moment, seems to be OK.
Surrender doesn't solve all problems, of course. For instance, an essay isn't going to write itself. But if I'm not expending unnecessary energy simultaneously planning dinner in my head and wondering when the next bout of sibling bickering will throw down, and feeling agitated by the site of overgrown weeds, and, and, and . . . then even in this state of exhaustion, I have the energy to write the essay.
Which begs the question: Exactly how much unnecessary energy am I always expending?
And that's when I remember, in this total and complete, exhausted surrender, You know what? I do not have to hold up the sky. The sky will take care of itself.
And then the exhaustion? I'm actually grateful for it, for kicking my always running legs out from under me and for insisting that my mind calms and I sit still for a while—maybe long enough for my nine-year-old to find me, as he does, here in my office, and curl up in my lap.

Q: Count how many values per level in a given factor? For each year, I would like to create two new columns temp_count and rh_count counting the number of occurrences in each temp_catog and humidity_catog columns, respectively. This How to count how many values per level in a given factor? answers if you group by one variable, but I would like to use group_by(year, humidity_catog, temp_catog). Here is a screenshot of my data

I can a create a single column humidity_count to count number of occurrences in each category humidity_catog column using the following code.
df <- group_by(year, humidity_catog) %>%
  summarize(humidity_count = n())

Here is the output

But I would like to create another column temp_count in the same data frame to count the number of each category temp_count column. How can I achieve this? Here is the reproducible example of my data created via dput function.
df <- structure(
  list(
    year = structure(
      c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L,
        1L, 1L, 1L),
      .Label = c(
        "2006",
        "2007",
        "2012",
        "2013",
        "2014",
        "2014_c",
        "2015_a",
        "2015_b",
        "2016",
        "2017",
        "2020"
      ),
      class = "factor"
    ),
    min_rh = c(47.9, 49, 44.7, 40.2, 50, 52.3, 51.5, 82.8, 73.8,
               47.1),
    min_temp = c(12.4, 14.3, 15.1, 16.1, 12.7, 16.1, 14.4,
                 15.1, 11.8, 9.5),
    temp_catog = structure(
      c(2L, 2L, 3L, 3L,
        2L, 3L, 2L, 3L, 2L, 2L),
      .Label = c("T1(<=8)", "T2(>8, <=15)",
                 "T3(>15)"),
      class = "factor"
    ),
    humidity_catog = structure(
      c(1L,
        1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L),
      .Label = c("RH1(<=65)",
                 "RH2(>65)"),
      class = "factor"
    )
  ),
  class = c("grouped_df",
            "tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"),
  row.names = c(NA,-10L),
  groups = structure(
    list(
      year = structure(
        1L,
        .Label = c(
          "2006",
          "2007",
          "2012",
          "2013",
          "2014",
          "2014_c",
          "2015_a",
          "2015_b",
          "2016",
          "2017",
          "2020"
        ),
        class = "factor"
      ),
      .rows = structure(
        list(1:10),
        ptype = integer(0),
        class = c("vctrs_list_of",
                  "vctrs_vctr", "list")
      )
    ),
    class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"),
    row.names = c(NA,-1L),
    .drop = TRUE
  )
)

Note: I don't want unique occurrences. I just want to count how many times each category was recorded.

A: Not so sure how the OP means to merge the two summarised results, but we may call mutate instead of summarise, sequentially, feeding the grouping variables to the .by argument.
obs: the toy dataframe was grouped by year, I ungrouped it beforehand
library(dplyr) #requires dplyr 1.1.0 for the .by solution

df %>%
    ungroup() %>%
    mutate(rh_count = n(), .by = c(year, humidity_catog)) %>%
    mutate(temp_count = n(), .by = c(year, temp_catog))

# A tibble: 10 × 7
   year  min_rh min_temp temp_catog   humidity_catog rh_count temp_count
   <fct>  <dbl>    <dbl> <fct>        <fct>             <int>      <int>
 1 2006    47.9     12.4 T2(>8, <=15) RH1(<=65)             8          6
 2 2006    49       14.3 T2(>8, <=15) RH1(<=65)             8          6

"Mr. Difficult", subtitled "William Gaddis and the problem of hard-to-read books", is a 2002 essay by Jonathan Franzen that appeared in the 9/30/2002 issue of The New Yorker.  It was reprinted in the paperback edition of How to Be Alone without the subtitle.

The essay describes the experience of being thought of as difficult by his readers and his own experience at reading difficult books.  Franzen then provides an extended commentary on most of Gaddis's novels.

The essay has attracted strong reactions.  Novelist Ben Marcus had a negative opinion.  Novelist Cynthia Ozick mentioned the Franzen/Marcus disagreement as part of a larger picture on the nature of reviewing.  Author and publisher Phil Jourdan also had a negative opinion.  A 2013 review of Gaddis's letters described the literary significance of Gaddis by summarizing Franzen's essay.

Mrs. M—'s complaint

The essay begins by describing some of the negative reactions his third novel, The Corrections, received.  One letter writer, identified as " from Maryland", had a list of 30 vocabulary words (like "diurnality" and "antipodes") and some flowery phrases (like "electro-pointillist Santa Claus faces") from the novel that she did not approve of.  She asked who Franzen was writing for, since it was certainly not the "average person who just enjoys a good read."  She answered her question with what Franzen calls a caricature of him and his presumed readership.

Franzen finds himself ambivalent about his reaction to .  He credits this ambivalence to his parents.  His father was an admirer of scholars, while his mother was anti-élitist.

The Status and Contract models
Franzen proceeds to summarize his ambivalence in terms of two models.

The Status model
The "Status" model is presented as championed by Flaubert.  It views writing to be an act of high art, best done by geniuses and whose worth has nothing to do with the opinion of the masses, who are doubtless philistines anyway.

The Contract model
The "Contract" model presumes there is a specific audience of readers that the novel is meant for.  This can be narrow, like followers of Finnegans Wake, or wide, like the readers of Barbara Cartland.  But the author has implicitly "contracted" to appeal to this circle of readers, and is to be judged on those grounds.

Franzen allows that it is quite possible for a novel to fulfill both models.  He mentions Pride and Prejudice and The House of Mirth.  But he says that the models diverge when the novel is difficult.

In short, difficulty is a sign of success under the Status model, and a sign of failure under the Contract model.

Franzen then proceeds to list nine books that he has never been able to complete, including Moby-Dick, Don Quixote, and Mason & Dixon.  (He will add to this list of unfinished books later in the essay.)  He then mentions the most difficult book that he has completed is The Recognitions.

Reading The Recognitions

Franzen then tells the story of how he came to read The Recognitions in the early 1990s (about the time he  published his second novel).  His previous year had been miserable from a writing point of view, with a failed screenplay.  Borrowing money, he left Philadelphia and moved into a Tribeca loft.  At some point, looking for distractions, Franzen purchased a copy of the Gaddis novel, and then made it his daily job, reading it six to eight hours a day for a week and a half.  He comments that the first two hundred pages were read partly out of professional curiosity, but that the rest were read out of love for the story, and that finishing the novel qualified as an act of virtue.

Franzen includes some commentary on the novel.  He also mentions that he failed to notice at the time the many parallels between the novel's main character and his own life and art.

List of difficult authors

Franzen returns to how in college he was trained to read and admire complicated texts, finding fault with modern systems, and his ambition became that of creating literary art:

Franzen then identifies 13 authors that he determined in his early post-college days as "a canon of intellectually, socially edgy, white-male American fiction writers" who "shared the postmodern suspicion of realism".  They are, listed in the order Franzen gave:
Thomas Pynchon
Joseph Heller
Don DeLillo
Robert Coover
William Gaddis
William Gass
William Burroughs
John Barth
Donald Barthelme
Barry Hannah
John Hawkes
Joseph McElroy
Stanley Elkin

These are authors that, at the time, Franzen thought he wanted to write like.  He made a serious attempt to read these authors, but he never got more than a few pages into them (including The Recognitions).  But he realized that the writers he liked to read were not the difficult ones with "academic and hipster respect."  Meanwhile, he continued writing his own version of difficult, System novels.

Franzen and J R
Franzen jumps ahead to his later, successful reading of The Recognitions.  He acknowledges it influenced him strongly, including his naming one of his novels The Corrections.

Franzen tells how a few years later he then attempted to read J R.  He had less free time, only putting in one or two hours a night.  Somewhere past the halfway point, he put the book down for too long a stretch, and then found it impossible to return to the novel.  He identifies his last connection to the novel: his bookmark is still on page 469.

Franzen isn't sure whom to "blame" here.  He claims he thought of himself as the ideal Systems/Status reader, and for him to give up was like quitting a cult, as opposed to quitting a mainstream church, where people come and go all the time:

In high-brow culture

A book review of a new book by Joseph McElroy, one of the "hard-to-read 13" mentioned by Franzen, began by citing "Mr. Difficult" as if it were an essential credential.  The review lavishly praises McElroy for maintaining his difficulty without a hint of compromise.

Online critics were particularly vocal following the essay's publication. One suggested that Jonathan Franzen was alone in disliking being challenged by books, and that most readers enjoy trying difficult books, for they are able to mentally enrich the reader.

The theme of Gaddis-versus-Franzen is part of the James Reiss poem "The Novel".  The poem says that after Gaddis, the novel "didn't look back", but "... tramped past a bust of Jonathan Franzen."

A podcast about Franzen's novels debuted in 2021. The podcast is entitled Mr. Difficult: a podcast about Jonathan Franzen. It is hosted by author Erin Somers and the founding editors of Full Stop Magazine.

Are you planning to buy your first home? If so, you likely have a number of features that you want. However, many buyers do not take the time to ensure certain matters are addressed before they start searching for homes. The following are a few things you should do before you start searching for homes for sale.
Your credit score will impact how much lenders will give you towards a home purchase. This is why it is ideal to check your credit score. If it is in the low range, you may want to consider trying to raise your score. However, it is possible to qualify for a mortgage with less than perfect credit. Your interest rates might be higher or the loan amount extended might be lower than others who have better scores. Either way, pre-approval for a loan will give you an idea of which homes you can afford.
The location of your future home will also be an important thing to consider. You may prefer a home that is closer to your job, but if your job is located in the city, homes might be more expensive. This means that you will need to consider if you would rather have more buying power working further away from your job or settle for a smaller place in the area you prefer. Another scenario would be wanting a home in an area that is known for having excellent schools. These suburban areas may also have other attractions that could result in the homes being appraised at higher values. You might also want to consider buying an older home in your ideal location rather than considering new properties. This is because you might be able to find a home with your budget or negotiate a lower selling price.
The features of homes are often deal makers or breakers for home buyers. It might take a while to find a home that is priced in your range and has the features you are looking for. However, if you rush and buy a home that does not meet your criteria, you may end up with buyer's remorse. Buying a home is an investment, and it is one that most people have to deal with for many years or a lifetime. This is why it is worth your time and effort to search for homes and enlist the help of a real estate agent too.
A real estate agent is a good resource to use for additional tips on things that you should do to prepare yourself for finding the ideal home. They can also help you locate homes for sale that meet your expectations.


Susanna Bauer's leaf works pay homage to nature as well as holding up a mirror to the viewer. Mainly constructed with dry leaves and cotton yarn the pieces hold a fine balance of fragility and strength reflecting individual stories and connections.
Susanna Bauer uses what is small and fragile to express what is universal and enduring in our co-existence with each other and the natural world.
She works with the everyday, inconspicuous details of our natural surroundings, found fallen leaves get surrounded with a skilfully created crocheted halo of cotton yarn, others are coaxed into finely constructed three-dimensional shapes while entire branches and leaves find a new life and expression. The work pays homage to nature as well as holding up a mirror to the viewer endeavouring to slow down and open eyes to the small detail and the preciousness of the world that surrounds us.
There is a fine balance in her work between fragility and strength; literally, when it comes to pulling a fine thread through a brittle leaf or thin dry piece of wood, but it can also be transferred to a wider context - the tenderness and tension in human connections, the transient yet enduring beauty of nature that can be found in the smallest detail, vulnerability and resilience reflecting nature as a whole or the stories of individual beings.
Susanna was born 1969 in Bavaria, Germany, but has lived in England since 1996.


i was there and the video does not do roar of the vulcan take off any justice. it actually shook the ground when it lifted off!
The vulcan is a very nice looking plane.
The Vulcan Bomber is a very graceful plane, and I've always found that it silences a crowd because of its dominance – you just have to watch it.
For those who know or remember its history, we realise that for decades it carried nuclear bombs, and realising that makes people quiet too.
Bloody hell that wing gives her alot of lift!
I know what you mean lol thnks for the info.
Whats the mach 3 package like m8? do u get the use of a campsite next to the airfield included in it? thanks.
Yes it is British, one of the V Bombers. It left active service in the 1980's and I believe this is the only one flying in the world at the moment.
I didn't know this plane existed. My guess is that it is British.
@perrin6 Please donate to Vulcan to the sky then!
Nice! But…at what cost? Is it worth TWO MILLION POUNDS ANNUALLY to fly it? Vulcan Operating Co told Lottery that airshow fees would pay all costs for sustained operations. Now, we're finding out that's not true. Sorry, guys, but TWO MILLION POUNDS ANNUALLY was never gonna come from airshow fees. A blind man couldda seen that before you started. I seem to recall the RAF retired it because, aside from being old, it was also EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE. VulcantotheHANGAR!
Just want to go to bed with that aeroplane and hold her all night long ! Cant wait to see her again next year.
I was there for the show tdy from Barksdale, and let me tell watching the Vulcan climb after take off was crazy. I didn't think such a big plane could do something like that.
Beautiful climb , that's a nice bird mate .
It was ok because of the Vulcan.. Vulcan display was best on sunday but wheather was horrible. I was att RIAT 10 years ago 1999, and i have not to this day seen any better airshow!
so how was riat 09?????????
Just love the howling engines at from 1:06. Music to the ears, fantastic!


Peter Throw's trial has just begun but a lot of questions are already flying around among journalists covering the event.
Of particular curiosity to the press is a mysterious female-witness.
She didn't show up yet at the trial, as she is supposed to be the last witness to testify.
Her name is Faty Peartree.
Very little is known about her.
one journalist asked, as he could not believe it.
-Is she also contaminated by Throw's foolishness, like elder Castro...?
-Is she an inmate at a psychiatric institution too...?
-Will doctors allow her to come out to testify...?
Nobody is sure. But one thing is for certain.
The press has already decided that this trial has a hero - and a female hero at that.
They are calling her Joana d'Arc.
The Joana d'Arc of Littlebushes.


A new recruitment firm has been launched which specialises in finding skilled candidates for the Information Technology sector.
Numinic, is a new venture which is part of Futures.co.uk, a Leeds based recruitment firm that has just reported a 68 per cent increase in turnover from £6.3m to £10.6m.
Joint owner of Numinic Stuart Quinney said: "I started out in recruitment almost 20 years ago and have also owned my own business. I've spent the last five years specialising in IT recruitment and the opportunity to join forces with such a successful business like Futures.co.uk was just too great to miss out on.
Numinic will specialise in working with small to medium sized businesses and large corporates in both the public and private sectors providing permanent, contract, and interim candidates covering a host of technologies including IT development, Health IT, digital media and e-commerce, business intelligence, infrastructure and networking, business and systems analysis, project and programme management, security, cloud and virtualisation, as well finding chief information officers, technology heads and IT directors.
Tom Liptrot, managing director of Futures.co.uk, said: "It's an exciting time for our business which is rapidly growing. Our revenues now exceed £10m and our employee numbers have risen to over 30, which makes us large enough to fulfil entire projects yet boutique enough in our approach to provide a dedicated personal service.
"The launch of Numinic with Stuart and his team is something we are very excited about due to his in-depth knowledge of the IT industry and his honest, hardworking approach.

European banks need to focus on cost-cuts rather than cross-border transactions:
The calls for cross-border European banking transactions are mounting again. Not for the first time, we are being told that consolidation of international banking groups will "fix" the problems faced by the industry, this time those caused by the pandemic. – Uwe Lohmann
Over the years, various transaction combinations of UniCredit, Société Générale or Commerzbank have been touted, as well as tie-ups between banks from the same country, such as Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank or UBS and Credit Suisse. Yet nothing tangible ever seems to come from these discussions. And in our opinion with good reason. It is hard to see who would benefit from such deals, other than the mergers and acquisitions advisers involved in the transactions. – Uwe Lohmann
While the industry is in desperate need of consolidation, this would be in our opinion the wrong way to go about it. Here's why.
Despite years of effort to integrate European banking, we are still a long way off from a true single market. The European Central Bank has overall supervisory responsibility, but too much leeway still exists at the national level. The work of the Single Resolution Board, which has EU-wide authority to supervise the orderly resolution of failing banks, is a prime example. The SRB was an important step towards the banking union, yet its power has been structurally compromised by the inclusion of national governments in the winding-up process.
The resolution remains one of the biggest stumbling blocks for cross-border deals. What national authority would let a local bank acquire a large, complex foreign institution when its taxpayers would be on the hook if it failed?
The lack of a strong resolution authority has contributed to the generally unfinished business of cleansing the European banking system. There are still too many under-capitalized, unprofitable, and uncompetitive institutions. Some are large institutions waiting for a revenue rebound to bail them out of their predicament. Merging two big, struggling banks will not create a thriving national champion, no matter what advocates say. Measures intended to support the economy have also provided life support for struggling banks. We have ended up with a valuation gap between winners and losers that is far tighter than it should be. This further system the needed cleansing. – Uwe Lohmann
What is the solution?
A sound financial system must begin with robustly capitalized, well-managed institutions capable of sustained profitability. Revenue growth headwinds are likely to be with us for years to come, so radical cost-cutting must be the key. This means leaving businesses that management teams have clung to in the vain hope of cyclical rebounds.
The sector of course does need M&A, but not the type that is so regularly floated. We require consolidation not across borders or between bloated giants, but domestically to reduce fragmentation and eliminate the subscale players. Barely profitable, they are not capable of making the required technology investments. – Uwe Lohmann
Regulators have an important part to play. They must pressure weaker players (and the governments covering for them) to have a plan or face resolution. Their oversight should reward successful banks so that they can play a leadership role in the industry. Blanket application of rules, such as dividend bans, only serves to stifle success and protect the weak. Regulators in our opinion must differentiate more than they have.
Last Thoughts of Uwe Lohmann
The result would be a smaller number of healthier, more profitable institutions better able to invest and adapt to a new, more digital future. At that point, as pan-European regulation continues to evolve towards a more tangible single market, cross-border consolidation would start to make sense. Only then will we see the end, once and for all, of the rolling financial crisis that has been with us since 2010.

Tshinakaho Munyai (15), a Grade 9 learner at Dengenya Secondary School, was murdered on Satuday night. Photo: supplied.
Young man in court for brutal murder of 15-year-old
An 18-year-old man appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, 8 December, on a charge of murder, after the body of a 15-year-old girl was found in the bushes at Vondwe village.
On the evening of Saturday, 4 December, the young girl, identified as Tshinakaho Munyai, left her home in Vondwe village outside Thohoyandou to celebrate finishing the year-end exams with her friends at The Lion Inn Resort in Tshivhilwi village. However, she never returned that night. The next evening, at around 19:00, her body was found in the bushes.
Tshinakaho, who was a Grade 9 learner at Dengenya Secondary School, was reportedly seen walking in the company of an 18-year-old boy at around 21:00 on the night she disappeared. Upon questioning, the boy initially told the police that while the two of them were walking from the local resort, they were confronted by an unknown man, who produced a knife and threatened him, so he fled. The man then grabbed Tshinakaho and forcefully dragged her into the nearby bushes, where he subsequently stabbed her to death before fleeing the crime scene.
However, following meticulous investigations conducted by the police, the 18-year-old teenager himself was arrested and charged with the murder after it was determined that he had lied about the attack by an unknown man. An argument had allegedly ensued between the boy (suspect) and Tshinakaho, after which he lost his temper, stabbed her to death and dragged her body into the bushes.
Khuthadzo Munyai, one of Tshinakaho's aunts, said they were struggling to deal with the reality of what had happened. "Her mother and I we went to the scene, but we could not go near the body. It was just too painful." According to her, the suspect was from the same neighbourhood as Tshinakaho.
The local civic chairperson, Mr Pfariso Nephalama, called on parents to look after their children and monitor their movements for their safety.
The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, has commended the Police in Thohoyandou for arresting the 18-year-old suspect within days after the murder. She also thanked community members for continuously assisting the police in the fight against crime by providing valuable information that often results in the arrest of suspects.

Staring at Lakes started out as a book about depression. And then became a story about growing old, the essence of love and marriage - and sitting in cars, staring at lakes.
Throughout his life, Michael Harding has lived with a sense of emptiness - through faith, marriage, fatherhood and his career as a writer, a pervading sense of darkness and unease remained.
When he was fifty-eight, he became physically ill and found himself in the grip of a deep melancholy. Here, in this beautifully written memoir, he talks with openness and honesty about his journey: leaving the priesthood when he was in his thirties, settling in Leitrim with his artist wife, the depression that eventually overwhelmed him, and how, ultimately, he found a way out of the dark, by accepting the fragility of love and the importance of now.
Staring at Lakes was a number one bestseller in Michael's native Ireland and won three BGE Irish book awards in 2013, including Non-Fiction Book of the Year.
'It's rare for a memoir to demand such intense emotional involvement and rarer still for it to be so fully rewarded' - SUNDAY TIMES.
Michael Harding is an author and a playwright. His creative chronicle of ordinary life in the Irish midlands is published as a weekly column in The Irish Times. He has published three novels, Priest, The Trouble with Sarah Gullion and Bird in the Snow.


The Friends of the Library run a bookstore in the lower level of the Medfield Public Library.
'Friends of the Library' isn't just a term for people who really like a good book - it's also the name of a community organization that donates over $20,000 to Medfield Public Library annually, along with scholarship opportunities and grants, museum passes for patrons, events and more. Friends of the Library ("Friends" or "FOL" for short) is a volunteer-driven group focusing on financial support for the library, community outreach and engagement with library resources, and encouragement of participation in library activities. You might be surprised to learn of the range of activities the FOL helps to sponsor, including the aforementioned museum passes, a variety of children's and adult programs, book purchases, music programs, those handy self-checkout stations, shelving and book carts, books on CD, DVDs, software programs and more.
FOL also awards $3,000 in scholarship grants to local high school students each year. The $2,000 Amy Fiske and Friends of the Library Scholarship is awarded to an MHS graduating senior, a $500 Grant is awarded for poetry to a student in grades 9-12, and a second $500 Grant is awarded for prose to a student in grades 9-11. This year's scholarship grant recipients will be announced today, June 9, and will be personally presented by Friends of the Library President Ninette van Lingen.
Additionally, FOL runs a bookstore in the library's lower level where one can find all the New York Times' best sellers – including titles by James Patterson, Stuart Woods, Michael Crichton, Jodi Picoult, and more - for just $3. FOL is working on new events and initiatives to bring community awareness to their organization, including "Fall Into Friends," one of its new campaigns the FOL will announce this September, along with special plans for Medfield Day.
Currently, the Friends have 280 members and would love to grow to 500 by the end of the year. People who support Friends of the Library are supporting the library itself, and are therefore supporting the community; the Friends' $20,000 yearly donation to the library is gathered through an annual membership fee and fundraising initiatives. Being a member of FOL means giving back, and annual membership is just $15 per individual or $30 per family.
Medfield residents are invited to join the Friends of the Library, and can pick up a membership form at the library front desk, or email FOL at medfieldlibraryfriends@gmail.com. Membership is open year-round, and interested residents can learn more about the Friends online at www.medfieldpubliclibrary.org/friends-of-the-library.

Thinking of giving your interiors a major overhaul? Hiring an interior designer is definitely the way to go for creating a fabulous and functional home. Unfortunately, not all homeowners could afford the services of one. That's okay, we're here to help! Today we are outlining some of the best small apartment ideas and decorating tips straight from the pros!
For a home that looks professionally done, you need to look for design inspirations. Reading home style magazines, checking out online looks, and creating your own Pinterest board are great ways to plan your interiors and get the creative juices flowing. You can go online to download different home styles or cut out pictures that struck your fancy.
After collecting all the style inspirations that caught your eye, step back, review your work and you should have an idea what type of look you're looking for.
One of the key elements of a well-designed home is color coordination. Since color preference is such a personal thing, you'll have to check your inspiration board to see what shades you're most drawn to. Ideally, you have to choose three complementing shades to build your interior style on.
The first color goes for the walls. This shade will dominate the room. The second color is for the large furnishings, such as the sofa, chairs, draperies, rugs, etc. The final color goes for the smaller decors to lend a delightful pop of color, such as pillowcases, houseplants, etc. Whatever base color you chose, always remember that your preferred shade could affect the brightness of a room.
Adding texture to the interior design gives the room depth and character. This goes especially for all-white or all-grey rooms, texture helps break the monotony of a room done in one color.
We've already outlined ways to introduce texture to a space but if you need more help, start by incorporating houseplants, plush pillows, woven baskets, eye-catching artworks into your interiors. Decors and pieces of furniture made from natural materials, such as cotton or wood, add texture to an otherwise bland, flat room.
You can also mix and match different textiles to create an interesting focal point in the room. Adding a vase of flowers to different rooms is a terrific way to incorporate color and texture into your living space. Don't be afraid to experiment with different textures to create a unique design that reflects your eclectic style.
When decorating a small room, you have to reduce, if not eliminate, horizontal lines and focus on strong verticals. A room filled with too-tall pieces of furniture will only confuse the eyes and make the room look messier.
To keep the interior design balanced yet easygoing, use low-slung pieces or skirted furniture. Try mixing and matching different furniture styles and sizes to create a harmonious and cozy living space. Bring all the design elements together by adding a sizable statement piece, perhaps an eye-catching cabinet or an accent chair.
Metallic accents are quite trendy and will suit most color schemes. I highly recommend mixing silver and gold accents to add plenty of sparkle to the room. You can use baskets, metallic decorative vases, eye-catching bowls, and catch-alls to create a layered, decorated space.
Want to make your own shiny centerpiece? Try using a mirrored or metallic tray. Add a couple of scented candles, a kitschy decor, and a vase of blooms. Set your centerpiece on a coffee table or side table and voila, your pretty piece of displayed art is complete!
One of the best small apartment ideas for giving a room a cozy, lived-in appearance is to accentuate key areas of the space with decors or loose items. Decorate your living room with grouped decors in varying sizes to keep the space from feeling too flat. This can be done by picking a statement piece, such as a colorful carpet or a piece of furniture, matching it with a variety of finishing decors, and building from there.
You can also mix and match different decors to see if the combo works. Mixing flowers with accent mirror, graphic textiles and artworks is a great way to start decorating in layers. If you love rustic accents, decorate awkward corners with woven baskets, wicker stools, and straw decors.

I am a woman who is sixty years young celebrating life! I feel oddly liberated with this new age. I am now enjoying the freedom being over 60 provides. Gone are the daily parenting responsibilities and worrying so much about what others think. Don't get me wrong, life isn't perfect. However, I am able to view life through a different lens than I did when I was younger. Having spent the majority of my life working in fashion and interior design, I still love it! My spirit is a creative one. The goal of my blog is to share my individual perspective on style choices as I navigate this new decade. I hope what I have to say inspires you to embrace your individual style in all aspects of life.


My main goal with anxiety is to find it's origins whether its chemistry, hormones or traumas. In the mean time its about finding balance in the body. Then "what are the solutions available and specific for each person?" My belief about anxiety protocol is selecting solutions meaning everything is on the table whether its western medicine, life style changes, alternative modalities, herbs, supplements or a blend of any them. We will work on integrating them into your life. This is the beginnings. My intuition and gifts will help your progress to a peaceful mind, bigger heart, and staying grounded. Teaching your body how to feel good. Then we will work on your spirit and emotions with no judgement. Each of us are custom designed and we will find the anxiety protocol which fits you best.


Inspired in the most basic notion of the Suprematism Manifesto of Malevich. "Feel the beauty". Basically don't reproduce the beauty of reality, like could a picture of Rembrandt do, but rather create only with feelings. Analogous to a flower, and going through my research of the aromatic headspace of plants performed by Roman Kaiser, Julian decided to create an imaginary flower, using more than 130 natural identical molecules, using the same ingredients that natures use but in a twisted way, only based in Julian's perception, adding the challenge of doing it once, without rewriting anything, but rather starting from the more heavy weighted molecules, layer over layer, to the ethereal opening of certain salicylates and acetates. But specially the incredible Firmenich captive molecule of Paradisone, 1R,2S- (+)-epi-methyldihydrojasmonate , which is 800 times more powerful than its enantiomer, in Hedione.


1. 2-3 hours before roasting, prepare the lamb. Use a small, sharp knife to make 15 to 20 incisions, each about 2 inches (5 cm) deep, through the fat cap on top of the meat. Thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic and use your fingers to press the slices into the incisions.
2. In a blender, combine the remaining 9 garlic cloves, the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Blend until a paste forms.
3. Spread the paste evenly all over the lamb. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
5. Place the lamb on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and pour the wine into the bottom of the pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C).
7. Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the roasting pan and place the lamb on the rack on top. Roast for 2 hours, tossing the potatoes and basting the lamb with the roasting liquid halfway through.
8. Transfer the potatoes to a platter, baste the lamb again with the remaining pan juices, and return the lamb to the oven. Continue to roast, basting often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the leg reaches 130°F (for medium-rare), 45 minutes to 2 hours more, depending on thickness. (As a general rule, the lamb should roast 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare).
9. Transfer the lamb to a platter and set aside to rest for 20 minutes. While the lamb rests, return the potatoes to the roasting pan, season with flaky salt, and warm in the oven until just heated through, about 20 minutes. Return the potatoes to the serving platter.
10. Carve the lamb into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices and arrange on the platter with the potatoes, garnished with rosemary and thyme sprigs. Serve with whole grain mustard alongside.


By way of New York and Nebraska, Lola was relocated to Portland when her husband took a job there in 1904. Lola had already spent decades volunteering to help with wayward girls and she never skipped a beat in her new location. The 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition was coming to town and Lola got busy. She was concerned for the huge influx of young women in the crowds, so she worked with the YWCA to establish an outreach program that helped over 1,500 women during the expo.
Like so many of Oregon's pioneers, Lola never set out to be the first at anything. But in 1908, when the Portland Police needed someone to investigate the bloody suicide of two street girls, they hired Lola, the neighborhood mom with organizational skill and passion. She was already 48 and only beginning a legendary career.
By 1917 Lola was travelling the country, explaining her programs of preventive policing and cutting-edge reforms for women's welfare and safety. She cared for unwed mothers, kept meticulous records, and compiled statistics to make her case to the press. She was a one-woman PR agency for women and the mother of a mini-revolution. Lola retired from the Portland Police in 1922 having radically impacted law enforcement. As our Lipstick Revolutionaries often do, Lola never really quit. She worked actively with women's groups until her death at age 97.
Bio for NAOMI INMAN — Naomi Inman was born in Argentina and immigrated to Oregon with her parents and three siblings. She earned her M.A. in Journalism at Regent University (Virginia) and has put her education to use in radio and magazine work, and supremely so, as the mother of two young boys, composing rhyme to sooth the savage beast.
It's always a delight to read about people who have a passion helping others. That passion being their life and not trying to make a mark for themself, and yet we reaad about them over a hundred years later. It's a good lesson for life. Do what you feel you're being lead to do.
Tell Lola we need her in West Linn.

Operation At Mumbai Jewish Center Ends, Hostages Dead
NEW DELHI (Reuters) -- Five hostages inside the besieged Jewish centre in Mumbai were found dead on November 28, the city's police chief told Reuters.
"Five hostages have been killed and the place is yet to be fully secured, which we hope to do soon," Hasan Gafoor, the Mumbai police commissioner, said by telephone.
Several hostages, including Israelis, have been held at the centre by suspected Islamist gunmen since the evening of November 26.
The militants had been holding hostages, including an Israeli rabbi and wife, at the centre for almost 48 hours.
An Israeli rescue service run by Orthodox Jews said staff it had sent to Mumbai to help also believed that hostages in the Chabad centre had died.
"Apparently the hostages did not remain alive," the Zaka service said in a brief statement quoting its staff in Mumbai, without elaborating.
Earlier a huge crowd of onlookers cheered as a group of Indian commandos left the besieged Jewish centre, prompting local television channels to announce the operation to dislodge the gunmen had ended.
Some people punched the air with their fists. Other commandos chatted on the roof of the building, looking relaxed.
The Mumbai police chief said the operation was still in its final stages, while Dutt said the third floor of the building had not been secured.
A short while before, the commandos had blown up a hole in the outer wall of the building.
The iron bars of Jewish centre windows were twisted after repeated gunfire during the two-day siege.

The proposed fee increases are a result of several things: the Transfer Member impact report, recommendations by specific subcommittees, and the results of the usual investigation of area club fees that management and the Finance Committee do annually as we prepare the budget and attempt to keep Spring Run competitive and in-line with our area communities.
In looking at the Transfer Member greens fee increases, we used data from the report with showed Spring Run in the middle of all the club's surveyed last year.
In looking at the Transfer Member Administration Fee, we found a low of $150 to $500. Spring Run has been $225, falling somewhere in the middle.
To view the Transfer Member Impact report, go to the website www.springrun.com , log in and click on the Transfer Member report article located on the Member Home Page. From there you will see the report from each subcommittee. You will also find links in the report that will take you to the actual data that was collected on this issue and that was used as a basis for recommendations.
The Board will take up this issue in depth beginning with the October Board meeting.
If you have any more questions, please reply below.
Thanks Mike. I am a property owner that rents on a limited basis. Let's not price ourselves out of the market. Being somwhere in the middle of the fee range is a good place to be. Just raising fees without significant rational (increasing costs. etc ) won't be justified.

Cosmosphere
The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum on the Washington National Mall is the most-visited museum in the world, attracting nearly 10 million visitors a year (including me more than once). It brings some of the most significant artifacts in flight and space history together in one place: the Wright 1903 Flyer, the Spirit of St. Louis, the X-1 Glamourous Glennis in which Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier, and the Apollo 11 command module Columbia. As you might expect, the museum has the world's largest collection of space artifacts.
But where is the world's second-largest space collection, including the Apollo 13 command module Odyssey? The answer is far from obvious, far from just about anywhere – the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas, 50 miles northwest of Wichita.
Located next to the Hutchinson Junior College football stadium is a world-class space museum and the world's premiere facility for restoring historic spacecraft. When the second manned Project Mercury capsule, Gus Grissom's Liberty Bell 7, was recovered from the ocean floor in 1999 thirty-eight years after it sank, it went to the Cosmosphere for restoration. The capsule went on tour starting in 2001, and will go on permanent display in Hutchinson next year. There is a Glamourous Glennis reproduction on display which the Cosmosphere made for the movie, The Right Stuff. Right now they are working on restoring a couple of Project Gemini capsules.
The most significant big items currently on display are Odyssey, the Gemini X capsule, a flown Soviet Vostok, the wreckage of unmanned Mercury capsule MA-1, an SR-71 spy plane looming over the lobby, and a Redstone rocket out front. There's also an huge assortment of other items, ranging from Saturn I engines to astronaut toiletry kits. The museum displays are very well done and contain an incredible amount of information. My only complaint is there was no detailed program or brochure available. If you wanted to know about a display, you had to read about it there. There is a Quicktime guided tour on the web site, but I don't know how good it is because my company laptop won't run it. I'll have to run it when I get home in two weeks.
I was really interested in the display of cameras used by the astronauts. Most of the cameras were fairly standard models. There was a Hasselblad 500EL with a 60mm lens that would be fun to borrow for the weekend, but that's probably out of the question since it came back from the Moon on Apollo 14. 'Blads have detachable film magazines, so the Moon walkers brought the film magazines back but to save weight left the camera bodies on the Moon, all except the one on display at the Cosmosphere.
The Cosmosphere began as the Hutchinson Planetarium in the poultry building at the state fairgrounds in 1962. See this link for the story on how it evolved into a world-class space museum and restoration facility. I remember that I first heard about the Kansas Cosmosphere when Liberty Bell 7 was recovered. I came across the name again when looking for something to do over the weekend and wondered, "How far is that from KC?" Turns out it's 215 miles, so I drove over on Sunday morning. If you include all the shows at the IMAX theater, the Planetarium, and Dr. Goddard's Lab you could probably fill up the entire day, but I had to drive back the same day so I just toured the museum. It gets only about three percent of the number of visitors as the museum in DC, but if some quirk of fate steers you through central Kansas someday, the Cosmosphere is definitely worth a stop.

Guantanamo Litigation: District Court
Force-Feeding Videos Remain Sealed
By David Kimball-Stanley
On Friday, a three-judge panel in the D.C. Court of Appeals rejected a request to release recordings of military personnel in Guantanamo Bay force-feeding a detainee who was on a hunger strike. The detainee in question is Abu Wa'el (Jihad) Dhiab, whose habeas corpus proceedings have previously been covered by Lawfare. Dhiab has since been released to Uruguay, but media organizations continue to press for the public release of the military's force-feeding recordings. Friday's ruling came with three separate opinions, each agreeing with the result but offering different takes on the law supporting the panel's decision. This post will examine the three opinions and consider their implications.
Abu Wa'el (Jihad) Dhiab, a citizen of Syria, was detained at Guantanamo Bay starting at least in 2002. In 2005, Dhiab filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging his detention. In 2009, the Guantánamo Review Task Force cleared Dhiab for release. Dhiab was not actually released from Guantanamo until December of 2014, and in the interim period he went on a hunger strike to protest his continued indefinite detention. On April 9th, 2013, the government notified Dhiab's counsel that it had begun force-feeding him through his nose. In May of 2014, the government disclosed that it had recordings of Dhiab being removed from his cell, brought to a medical facility, and fed against his will. The recordings were made in order to help the train military personnel on how to handle detainees in such situations. The recordings are classified as "SECRET," a designation reserved for information "the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage to the national security."
While he was being held, Dhiab filed motions to enjoin his force-feedings. The district court ordered the government to provide Dhiab's counsel, who had been given security clearance, access to the tapes. Dhiab's counsel then entered those recordings into the court's record under seal. Sixteen press organizations intervened in the proceedings and moved for those recordings to be unsealed. Though Dhiab has been released and is no longer a party to this case, he previously made clear that he wanted the tapes released:
I want Americans to see what is going on at the prison today, so they will understand why we are hunger-striking, and why the prison should be closed. If the American people stand for freedom, they should watch these tapes. If they truly believe in human rights, they need to see these tapes.
The district court judge, Gladys Kessler, granted the request to unseal the recordings, but on the condition that there be several redactions and edits. Both sides appealed the decision, with the government contending the recordings should remain sealed and the news organizations arguing the mandated redactions were too broad.
The district court came to its holding by analyzing the public right of access to the recordings under the Supreme Court's tests established in Press-Enterprise Co. v. Superior Court I and II. Under Press-Enterprise II, the court determines if there is any right to public access using the so-called "experience and logic" test. The first prong (experience) looks to whether or not there is a history of public access to the proceeding. The second prong (logic) looks to whether public access "plays a significant positive role in the functioning of the particular process in question." If the proceeding fails either part of this test, there is no right of public access. If it does pass both parts, then the right is a qualified one, analyzed under another test, expressed in the Press-Enterprise I. Under that test, the qualified right to public access can only be overridden if it is shown that closure is essential to serving "higher values."
Senior Circuit Judge A. Raymond Randolph's opinion for the court argues that "Press-Enterprise II is not comparable to this case." First, Judge Randolph notes that Press-Enterprise II was a criminal case that arose from California state court. The record "consisted of testimony and exhibits relating to murder charges, not classified material." Moreover, Judge Randolph sees an important distinction between criminal proceedings and Dhiab's civil habeas corpus proceeding, pointing out that the Classified Information Procedures Act governs the use of classified information in criminal cases. Under CIPA, the court may look at the admissibility of confidential evidence a defendant wants to use in private. If it is admissible, the government can suggest substitute information, declassify the information in question, or simply dismiss the charges. Judge Randolph notes that none of these procedures are available in a civil proceeding in which the government is the defendant.
Even if Press-Enterprise II were applicable, Judge Randolph disagrees with its application by the district court. Under the "experience" prong, Judge Randolph writes that there exists no history of public access to habeas corpus proceedings comparable to criminal cases. While early English courts were only in session a few months a year, they nonetheless heard habeas petitions out of session, meaning that "between 1500 and 1800, about one-fifth of the writs the judges of England issued" were heard without public access. While Judge Randolph concedes that there might be more open court hearings today, there remain plenty of exceptions (such as CIPA). Further, he points out that specifically in the case of the Guantanamo Bay habeas corpus cases, courts have litigated under orders to protect classified information. Judge Randolph disposes of the second prong of the "experience and logic" test by asserting that logic must be dictated by "first principles," and that one such principle is that "there is no higher value than the security of the nation."
Under similar logic, Judge Randolph writes that even had the intervenors succeeded in the establishing a qualified right of public access, such a right not be sufficient to unseal these recordings. The government fears that the recordings, if public, could assist outside militants in training to combat cell-extraction and force-feeding, and has argued that the release of the recordings could serve propaganda purposes and even encourage other detainees to disobey guards in the hopes that more recordings might be made and made public. Judge Randolph writes that, "The district court had no basis for ruling that publicly releasing the recordings could not be expected to cause such harm."
The other judges' opinions arrive at the same result, but expose some ambiguity in the law. Judge Judith Rogers disagrees with the strict line drawn by Judge Randolph between civil and criminal trials: While the Supreme Court has never had an on-point ruling on this subject, Chief Justice Burger did note in Richmond Newspapers, Inc. v. Virginia (in which the court ruled for a public right of access to criminal proceedings) that, "whether the public has a right to attend trials of civil cases is a question not raised by this case, but we note that historically both civil and criminal trials have been presumptively open." Judge Rogers notes the criminal/civil distinction fails to understand the distinction between the interests of the defendant and the interests of the public at large. In Judge Rogers' view, "Because the constitutional right of access belongs to third parties, laws governing the relationship between litigating parties are of little consequence to the application of Press-Enterprise II here."
Judge Rogers also has a different take on the history at work here. Where Judge Randolph argued that the fact that one-fifth of early English habeas proceedings occurred in private meant there was no tradition of public access, Judge Rogers saw the glass as 80 percent full. To her, the evidence suggests a "well-settled expectation that habeas proceedings would be open to the public when the courts were in session." Judge Rogers also thinks the court ought to view this habeas proceeding at a higher level of generality than Randolph does. In her view, the proceedings should be compared to habeas corpus proceedings generally, which tend to be open to the public, and not specifically to Guantanamo habeas proceedings.
In his separate opinion, Judge Stephen Williams agrees with Judge Rogers that the criminal/civil distinction should not invalidate application of the "experience and logic" test. But in applying that test, Judge Williams seems at a loss in several respects. For example, he writes that it is unclear if the test is distinctly focused on proceedings, or if it can be extended to access to documents or records. He further writes that even if the test does apply to records, it is unclear at what level of generality one should examine the relevant history. The court might focus on the kinds of documents at issue, or, if focused on proceedings, "the likely categories here may range among civil actions generally, habeas actions, habeas actions relating to conditions of confinement, and finally habeas actions related to Guantanamo." Furthermore, once a court determines which class of proceedings to examine, Judge Williams writes it is not clear what precisely history should carry weight. He points to cases in which the Supreme Court has instructed inquiries to focus on the time at which the First Amendment was adopted, along with other cases that have focused on post-enactment history (such as Press-Enterprise II itself, which discussed the famously packed courtroom that attended the treason trial of Aaron Burr).
Finally, Judge Williams is unsure of how that history should be assessed. For example, does the fact that 20 percent of early English habeas proceedings were private mean that there is no private right of access? Or is a tradition of access suggested by the fact that 80 percent of proceedings were public? To Judge Williams, "Both positions seem reasonably grounded in the Court's precedents, but obviously both can't be right." While Judge Williams laments that, "we have little guidance from the Supreme Court," the answers to his questions would not have changed his view of the outcome. Judge Williams finds the government's asserted national security interests compelling enough to override whatever answers the "experience-and-logic" test might yield.
The differing opinions reveal some possible gaps in doctrine, but ultimately the case turned on the weight placed by the panel on the government's national security interests. Their characterizations are a marked departure from Judge Kessler's opinion, which viewed concerns about propaganda as a "heckler's veto," and went so far as to draw comparisons between the recordings and the public value of the images of mistreatment of Abu Ghraib. For the time being, the government's national security concerns have been vindicated, and the media outlets may now appeal for an en banc decision or to the Supreme Court.
