A very sad tale, but maybe a lesson for us all. Keep you hands off your weapon when police are involved in a altercation.
The shoot first ask questions later mentality happens all too often. I think qualified immunity plays a big part in that.

Tapping Civilisational Ties to Avert Historic Crisis
Over 21 countries represented by leading scholars, teachers of spirituality and religion, venerable bhikkus, political leaders and former heads of state converged for the Global Hindu Buddhist Initiative on Conflict Avoidance and Environmental Consciousness in New Delhi early this month. Pointing to a deep civilisational challenge or crisis, the initiator of the conference, the Vivekananda International Foundation, has rightly argued that the world today is at war—a war that was not overt but one that's 'no less harmful'. The conference was convened to deliberate and initiate a dialogic process for a way out of that crisis and conflict by deriving light from the Indic or Dharmic civilisational indices.
The Énoncé de Vision, in a pithy description of the new dimensions of conflict and imbalance, referred to the "myopia of profits and an ego that craves superiority over our fellow brethren" leading to a "life of wanton devastation". Such a state of being, it argued, was making humanity go through "what is perhaps the most violent time in history", thus putting at stake not "just our lives and values but the environment that sustains us, and, by extension, therefore, the very future of our planet".
Leading thinkers and practitioners urged India to utilise her vast civilisational knowledge and experiential repositories to salvage the situation and emerge with frameworks of engagement based on our millennial wisdom that emphasise the need for balanced consumption, balanced living and an attitude that essentially aimed at avoidance of conflict and emphasis on dialogue and growth of Ananda.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while inaugurating the convergence, articulated India's civilisational aspirations and potential calling for strengthening bonds of thought, culture and spirituality, which bind the participating nations. He talked of how the world was afflicted with various conflicts. There are conflicts between humans, religions, communities and nation-states and between states and non-state actors that saw the latter controlling large territories and "unleashing barbaric violence on innocent people". Another type of conflict is between "nature and man", "nature and development" and "nature and science". He dwelt on how Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Taoism and Confucianism held keys to restoring the lost balance between nature and man. PM Modi talked of the need focus on "climate justice", instantly infusing into the ongoing climate debate a new dimension that not only diversifies the discussion but also elevates it.
Infusing further depth into the discussion, Modi spoke of the need to engage in dialogue inspired not by ideology but the strength of philosophy. "The essence of philosophy," he argued, "is that it is not a closed thought, while ideology is a closed one. So, philosophy not only allows dialogue but it is a perpetual search of truth through dialogue." The underlying thought-base of the entire exercise was laid and strengthened in Bodh Gaya where Modi referred to the Hindu-Buddhist India or Buddhist-Hindu India and mentioned Sakyamuni as the Crowning Jewel of India, how without him an Asian Century can never come to fruition. He called for intensifying these age-old bonds of civilisation and of thought between India and her past civilisational partners. The conference saw a video address by Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, who spoke of the common civilisational bonds between India and Japan tied with the golden thread of Buddha's message. The exercise was a veritable civilisational convergence in the capital of India, a sea of thought, of world-views, of ways of being and living that had gathered and coalesced to engage in a genuine dialogue.
The civilisational journeys, which Bodhidharma and Acharya Santarakshita began from Bharat in the past, received a new momentum and direction from this congregation… the beginning of a civilisational journey in our times.

Six finalists have been selected for the Shortlist for the Threadneedle Prize 2014 awarded to the very best in new figurative and representational art.
The prize on offer is a £20,000 Prize and a solo exhibition of a wider body of work at the Mall Galleries in 2015.
The finalists have been selected from over 3,600 entries and their artwork will be exhibited alongside 58 other entries. The entries have continued to increase year on year in part fue to the continued sponsorship by the Threadneedle Foundation.
The Threadneedle Prize Exhibition opens at the Mall Galleries on 25th September and continues until 11th October 2014. All the works in the exhibition are for sale.
Importantly all exhibitors are also eligible for the £10,000 Visitors' Choice Award.
Gallerist and Founder of Art Dubai, John Martin, who has two gallery spaces in London.
Below you will find images of the work and the artists and my commentary on the work - as yet unseen in person.
However tomorrow night is the Awards Dinner to which I am invited - and I'm looking forward to hearing the announcement of who has won The Threadneedle Prize. My iPad will be going with me and you might even get a video!
In her early career as an illustrator Sue established an international reputation with agents in London, Paris, New York and Tokyo. She has since developed her painting practice, exhibiting regularly in London with paintings in public and private collections in the UK and Europe. Previously she has been selected for The Jerwood Drawing Prize, John Moore's Painting Prize, the Royal Academy Summer exhibition and the National Art Open Competition.
You can see a much bigger image of the work selected for the short list on the home page of Sue William A'Court's website.
Sue Williams A'Court is a contemporary painter living and working in London. She's been a regular finalist in the important art competitions in the UK - in other words she is "known" and "has form"!
Her artwork is curious in that she has used an old book cover for her support and then used white paint and graphite to construct her image which has strong echoes of the Romantic tradition, the sublime landscape and the paintings of artists working in this tradition such as Romantic painters like Caspar David Friedrich and JMW Turner.
Importantly it has echoes of important landscape artists without being a direct copy.
As such it reminds me of Henriette Simson's much larger painting Bad Government (After Lorenzetti) which won the Threadneedle Prize in 2011.
(For those not familiar with Lorenzetti's work - see my post Ambrogio Lorenzetti - the first panorama on The Art of the Landscape.
As a self-taught artist, Thomas's distinctive style is a product of his personal experimentation and artistic enquiry. The concepts behind his work often draw upon the ideas he was exposed to while studying for his degree in Sociology. Since graduating, Thomas has received the Anthony J Lester Art Critic Award, the SEAWARD Prize and the Arts Club Award at the annual exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. His work has been exhibited in different venues, including the Royal College of Art, the London Science Museum and previously at Mall Galleries.
Thomas Allen's work appears to be a drawing since it is created from charcoal and sanguine.
You can see a much bigger version of "The Net" on Thomas Allen's website.
I'm getting a strong sense of an interest ideas and concepts which go beyond sociology (see below). There's something of mythology about it. It's also a very controlled and defined idea, format and palette.
Sarah Ball was born in Yorkshire and lives in Wales. She won Welsh Artist of the Year in 2013.
Sarah Ball grew up in South Yorkshire and studied at Newport Art College. Since completing an MFA at Bath Spa University in 2005 Sarah has exhibited widely including the Threadneedle Prize Exhibition, the Royal Academy Summer exhibition, National Open Art Competition and the University of Glamorgan Purchase Prize. She is currently Welsh Artist of the year and is working towards a show in Dallas this Autumn.
Sarah seems to like painting people who are unusual. I'm guessing she's working from standard photos of people - her earlier work seems to be based on mugshots from the USA. However she reworks them so they are clearly her paintings allbeit of different people.
Her shortlisted work is a Quadriptych - four paintings of individuals who all seem to have a skin condition. They form part of a series called Damaged Humans 2014.
Tina was runner up in the Marmite Painting prize in 2010 and was featured in Two and a Half Dimensions curated by Marcus Harvey at Pangolin in 2011. She had a solo show at studio 1:1 in 2012. She was awarded the Owen Ridley Prize at the University of Reading for an outstanding MFA project and is the recipient of a bursary from Reading University to research her PhD in 2014. Tina's work plays on and around paintings historical constructs and limitations. She re-conceptualises Painting as a Hysterical act suggesting this can mobilise it as an affirmative force of thought.
Tina Jenkins looks fun. Interestingly she also has the most interesting explanation of her painting on her Saatchi Art website!
David is a sculptor from the north of England, currently based in London. Having studied at Newcastle University BA Fine Art and Royal College of Art MA Sculpture he recently exhibited at Turner Contemporary Margate and The Wilson in Cheltenham.
David has been selected for the Saatchi Gallery New Sensations twice, The Open West twice, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Coutts Sculpture Prize and The Catlin Guide.
David Teager-Portman is a sculptor - and his work reminds us of why sculpture is important to figurative art. His bronze sculpture looks to me to be pretty big - and I'm guessing it's probably pretty heavy too. (I don't envy him his courier costs!).
It's very odd - the figures remind me both of medieval art (Bayeaux Tapestry et al) and a children's television programme whose name I've forgotten. Simple stripped back figures can tell stories of major significance.
Craig was born in Masvingo, Zimbabwe and studied at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa. He has had solo and group shows both in the UK and internationally – exhibiting in Germany, France, Belgium, Hong Kong, South Africa, Canada and the US. His work is represented in many private and public collections, including the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London, with a painting of Dame Kelly Holmes, commissioned after he won the BP Portrait Prize in 2008. Craig lives and works in London.
I'm most familiar with Craig Wylie's portraits. I met him the night he won the BP Portrait Award - having already picked his work as the winner in advance(!) - and have followed his work ever since both in terms of his commissioned portrait and his exhibitions.
I think his painting selected for the shortlist is really impressive. I know very well the type of finish and approach to hyperrealism that Craig brings to his work. Technically he's a very fine painter. However his latest paintings have moved away from the 'straightforward' portrait and are now much more intriguing. He's also moved from painting heads and clothed individuals - but his paintings remain massive. His entry is a six footer!
This one's got the look of a possible winner to me........ What on earth is under those cloths and what is going on? Plus I love the painting of the flesh and the back.
Guest curator Sacha Craddock's selection in the 'Curated Space' will feature work by eight leading UK and international artists, all of whom use figurative art as their starting point. Together they will enhance and complete the exhibition's comprehensive annual survey of Figurative Art Today.

We will celebrate All Saints Day in Vinebranch this Sunday with a special candle-lighting service in honor of the saints who have gone before us and helped to make us who we are today. The candle-lighting will follow Holy Communion. Our scripture this week is Revelation 21:1-6a. We will also begin talking about stewardship, our emphasis for three Sundays, concluding on November 15. My text for November 8 will be the challenging Parable of the Rich Fool, Luke 12:13-21.
See you there! As always, if you have questions about the scripture, feel free to text them to me in church.
I couldn't have said it better myself, so I won't try. The following is an excerpt from an excellent book on spiritual formation by David deSilva. If you've taken the short-term New Testament Disciple class, deSilva is one of the hosts of and contributors to the video series (soft-spoken guy with glasses).
We focus so easily on the needs of the moment that press on us from outside ourselves—the business of our jobs, housework, getting ready for school, preparing some meal, meeting this or that deadline… Under the weight of such demands, we grasp for the refreshments and painkillers that are also available in the moment, wearing for ourselves deep ruts that become the equivalent of instinct. Days, weeks, months, years easily pass without our truly attending to those things that shall endure. So many regrets uttered beside—or from—a deathbed are born of "not having had enough time," often a euphemism for having spent so much time so poorly.
As you may know, our church's stewardship emphasis begins this week and continues through November 15. Think about deSilva's words in relation to stewardship: Every moment of our lives is a precious gift from God. Every good thing that we possess and enjoy comes from God, including the resources of money, time, talent, and intellect. How might we better spend these resources "on those things that shall endure"?
 David A. deSilva, Sacramental Life: Spiritual Formation Through the Book of Common Prayer (Downers Grove, IL: IVP, 2008), 119.
A characteristic of the gospel of Mark is the way the author sandwiches a story within a story. Mark begins telling one story, which gets interrupted by another, before returning to the first. A classic example is Mark 5:21-42: While on his way to heal Jairus's daughter, Jesus confronts the hemorrhaging woman who touches his cloak. This delay adds suspense to the narrative: will Jairus's daughter die before Jesus makes it to his house? It also forces us to ask what the two stories have in common.
Our "Tough Texts" series continues this Sunday, October 25, with our exploration of Mark 3:19b-30, which includes these difficult words of Jesus: "Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin." What on earth is Jesus saying here? What sin is unforgivable? How do I know I haven't committed it?
Do you see challenge of this scripture? Bring your questions on Sunday or feel free to comment below.
I had much more I wanted to say in my "Tough Texts Part 5" sermon than time allowed. If you read Genesis chapters 1 and 2 together, you'll notice that there is not one but two Creation stories, each communicating a different aspect of God's creation and its relationship to the Creator. The Adam and Eve story of Genesis 2:5 and following was likely composed before the more cosmic and poetic Creation story of Genesis 1:1-2:4. In fact, according to Walter Brueggeman at Columbia Seminary in Decatur, Genesis 1:1-2:4 was likely written down during the time of the Exile, when many Israelites of the Southern Kingdom were forcibly relocated to Babylon—far from home, from the Promised Land, from God's Temple (which had been destroyed). What does it mean to be God's people now, when so much of one's faith was tied to land and Temple, which were now taken away. Did Israel's God, Yahweh, still love them? Had Yahweh abandoned them? Had the gods of Babylon proven more powerful than Yahweh?
Lisa and I went to Paris in the late-'90s. We toured the Louvre, of course, and saw the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa. We also went to its sister museum, the d'Orsay, which features Impressionist paintings by artists like Monet, Manet, and Degas. This is a painting by Monet that we saw. I really like Impressionism, but if I were going to be a total hick from the sticks I might be tempted to wonder why there would be this nice museum devoted to artists who painted blurry pictures. Consider this post-Impressionist piece: Van Gogh's "Starry Night." This doesn't look much like any night sky I've ever seen. The sky doesn't swirl around like that! And look at that crazy moon! This does not reflect reality at all! Wouldn't it be better to look at a photograph?
Of course, I'm being ridiculous. The intention of artists like Van Gogh and Monet is to communicate something far more than just, "Here's what a starry night looks like… Here's what a garden looks like." If that's what we want these artists to communicate to us, we will be sorely disappointed. By not giving us a straightforward depiction of reality, however, they end up communicating far more truth about the world than they otherwise would.
And so it is with the artist or artists who, under the inspiration of the Spirit, crafted today's scripture. It is literally a poem. In the same way that we don't look to Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" to give us the literal history of a particular world leader who was assassinated in 44 B.C., we ought not to look to this poem in Genesis chapter 1 to gain any kind of scientific or historical understanding of Creation. Unfortunately, for the past few hundred years, in response to the challenge of modern science and the Enlightenment, well-intentioned Christians have often tried to understand or defend it as literal truth. This way of reading this text is not only unnecessary, it misses the point entirely. We'll get to the point a little later, but in order to get to the point, we'll first have to clear a path of a few hundred years' worth of overgrown weeds.
Join us this Sunday, October 18, as we continue our "Tough Texts" sermon series with Genesis 1:1-2:3. How do we reconcile this biblical account of Creation with a scientific or evolutionary account? What about Intelligent Design or other ideas that involve a Creator? Are we Christians naive or irrational to still believe that "in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth"?
What questions do you have? Let me know by commenting below.
In tomorrow's sermon, I'm going to preach on Jesus' seemingly difficult words in Matthew 7:7-11, in which Jesus speaks confidently about the efficacy of prayer. We're going to explore the tension that exists between Jesus' words and our own experience of prayer. But here's an additional thought on the subject of prayer, specifically intercessory prayer, which I won't be covering tomorrow.
The way we often do intercessory prayer in church raises questions in my mind: Is God more likely to intervene if more people are praying for that person? If God won't intervene when only five people are praying, will God intervene when 50 or 500 people are praying? Is there any accountability here? Who's keeping track of whether or not the people for whom we pray are getting the help we're praying for? Are we afraid to keep track because—deep down—we don't think this prayer makes much difference?
As you can tell, I struggle with this issue. And most of us have struggled with the challenge of unanswered prayer at some time in our lives. But consider this: for every unanswered prayer, there are thousands of prayers that God answers—or at least God would, if we bothered to pray them at all. In the Lord's Prayer, the prayer that Jesus gave us as a model to follow, there is this petition: "Give us this day our daily bread." I am 39 years old. In the 14,479 days I have lived, I have never failed to receive my daily bread. I mostly don't even think about where my bread will come from. Yet Jesus tells us that this bread, as humble and modest a gift as it may be, is a gift from a faithful and loving Father. This challenges me to consider all the other good gifts that God gives me every day, every hour, and every moment, which I also take for granted.
We may question why God doesn't intervene for us in a particular case (the Psalms are filled with faithful people who question God in this way). As we do, however, let's also appreciate that God is constantly intervening to meet our deepest needs at every moment.


The Postal Service is looking to replace the middleman that sets the prices for its products, requesting instead that it hold the power to set rates on its own.
The proposal would eliminate the rate cap set by the Postal Regulatory Commission since 2006, put in place to protect USPS customers from the monopoly to which the agency is statutorily entitled for certain products. The Postal Service said the forces of the market -- namely continuing mail volume declines -- are sufficient to ensure the agency does not unfairly raise prices. Large private sector mailers have argued any entity with a government-protected monopoly cannot be trusted to set its own rates.
USPS, however, said the price-cap set to increase with inflation does not keep pace with market forces. The agency argued in comments to the PRC that it is not covering its costs despite significant efforts to increase its efficiency, including through workforce reductions, plant closures and hours cuts at post offices.
A 2006 law called on PRC to reexamine the pricing structure after 10 years, setting up the current debate. USPS said its regulators should consider the constraints Congress inflicts on the agency in making its decision. The Postal Service has high labor costs due to its universal service obligation, the agency noted, and is legally required to provide its employees extensive benefits.
PRC should also factor in the Postal Service's inability to make capital investments, management argued, and give it enough of a cushion to withstand "adverse marketplace conditions." USPS said it should be able to use its rate hikes as a tool to combat declining volume. With the Postal Service losing billions of dollars annually, it argued PRC "cannot rationally conclude that the current system is even coming close to achieving" its objectives.
Linda Thomas Brooks, president and CEO of the Association of Magazine Media, accused the Postal Service of "talking out of both sides of its mouth" by guarding its monopoly while requesting more pricing authority.
Stephen Kearney, president of the Alliance of Non-Profit Mailers, questioned the poor state of finances the Postal Service is alleging.
"The Postal Service wants to raise rates faster than inflation because it says its finances are upside down," Kearney said. "But our expert analysis shows that USPS is actually in good shape and in fact has made an operating profit for each of its last three fiscal years." Recent USPS financial reports have shown improving fiscal footing for the agency, with losses stemming primarily from a congressional requirement to prefund retiree health benefits that are increasingly offset by growth in package revenue.
The Postal Service dismissed those claims, saying even with its efficiency efforts and reform legislation in Congress it could not return to profitability without more control over the prices for its products.
The Postal Service conceded PRC should still monitor its rates, costs, efficiency and service performance. It said the forces of the market would protect it from raising rates too dramatically.
"There is simply no basis to conclude that the Postal Service would either choose to set prices at excessive levels, or would feel free to lessen its efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency, if a price cap was not in place," the agency said.
Postmaster General Megan Brennan argued in a congressional hearing this year that USPS should have the authority to set its own prices, but lawmakers declined to provide it. Instead, the 2017 Postal Reform Act -- which overwhelmingly passed the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and is awaiting action on the House floor -- would give the PRC until 2018 to review how the pricing structure should be set going forward. It would also compel the PRC to consider factors such as financial stability, customer experience and delivery timelines in making its determinations.

Six cases of severed intestines in farm-raised channel catfish were examined at fish disease diagnostic laboratories in Mississippi and Alabama. This condition has not been reported previously in fish. Affected fish had a 4-7-cm-long intestinal section (hyperemic where it was severed) attached to the stomach. The remainder of the intestine was completely missing in all six cases except for a 1–1.5-cm section of intestine prolapsed from the anus in fish from three of the cases. Ischemia, autodigestion following intussusception, or intestinal epithelium degradation are suggested as possible etiologies for this condition.

Documentary About All-Woman Ski Expedition Aims To Inspire Others To Think Beyond Borders
wysk May 17, 2016
DocumentaryFilmVideo0 Comments2 min read
"Sometimes you take a trip, and sometimes a trip takes you, shakes you, remakes you and how you see the world." – Kate Harris
In February/March 2015, Dr. Alison Criscitiello (a post-doctoral fellow and glaciologist at the University of Calgary, who kicks butt in Ironman competitions in her spare time, and holds the first PhD in Glaciology ever conferred by MIT), Rebecca Haspel (a geologist, ski mountaineering and rock/apline climbing badass), and Kate Harris (a writer and wilderness conservation advocate who studied geobiology at MIT and was named one of Canada's top 10 adventurers), set out on Borderski, a six-week, all-woman ski traverse of Central Asia's Pamir mountains, the range lies at the nexus of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Their goal was to document the impact of border fences on migratory wildlife, especially Marco Polo sheep—and have an epic adventure in the process.
Filmmaker Lindsay Marie Stewart produced a documentary about their unforgettable expedition, and together they hope it inspires others to dream, think, and act beyond borders… whatever shape they take.
What Else You Should Know About Ali, Rebecca, and Kate (aka The Fanny Pack):
As wide-eyed undergraduate students, each of us studied glaciology and the art of not showering for weeks with the Juneau Icefield Research Program (also known as JIRP). Over nearly two months we skied with a crew of professors and researchers across the icefield from Juneau, Alaska to Atlin, BC, digging snow pits, lugging backpacks, and subsisting on pilot biscuits the whole way. After such intense bliss there was no going back to a normal life: Ali went on to become a glaciologist; Rebecca turned into a near-bionic alpinist; and Kate vowed to someday move to Atlin.
A few years after JIRP, Kate and Ali both ended up at MIT for grad school, where they promptly began dreaming about icy expeditions. Although Rebecca was living in Calgary at the time, we roped her into our schemes from afar. The three of us eventually flew to India to follow in the footsteps of explorer and suffragette Fanny Bullock Workman. In the early 1900s, Fanny set the women's world altitude record on Pinnacle Peak, also known as Lingsarmo, a 6955-metre mountain in the Nun Kun Massif of northern India. A century later, we became the first self-supported, all-woman team to summit that same peak (Fanny brought a lot of dudes on her expedition, including porters and a husband). And so the Fanny Pack was born.
A few years later, in 2015, Kate had moved to Atlin and the Fanny Pack reunited for another grand adventure—this time on the wild edges of the notorious 'Stans… Borderski!

David Levene joined his father and uncle's paint business in 1947, taking over the management in 1952 after his uncle's death. He was aged 23 and the business had one outlet.
By 1994, when Levene & Company was sold to Skellerup Group, it had 50 stores, paint and wallpaper factories and a total turnover of $150 million.
Three years later, after an unsuccessful management buyout, it was placed in receivership. But the name and the business were later revived by a former franchisee.
Levene involved himself in property development and horticulture but found time to help the community. He supported North Shore Hospice, was a patron of Outward Bound and created a charitable trust to assist worthy organisations.


Wellness International Network v. Sharif: A Return to a Formalist Reading of Article III?
The constitutionality of bankruptcy courts is a recurring and thorny issue implicating the limits of Congress's power to delegate the judicial power of the United States. This Term, the Supreme Court will write the next chapter in the bankruptcy court saga when it hears Wellness International Network v. Sharif, cert. granted, 134 S. Ct. 2901 (2014). Sharif challenges the premise, established in Commodities Futures Trading Commission v. Schor, 478 U.S. 833 (1986), that litigant consent can furnish an Article I court's constitutional authority to issue final judgments in private rights disputes. An Article I court (a.k.a. "legislative court") is an adjudicatory body statutorily created to implement one of Congress's enumerated powers, and staffed by officials without life tenure, in good behavior, and protected against salary diminishment.
Schor, including its limits on bankruptcy court jurisdiction, is a functionalist anomaly in the Court's otherwise formalist Article III jurisprudence,. After a survey of the Court's bankruptcy court line of cases, this post argues the Constitution demands a formalist reading of Article III prohibiting Article I courts from deciding issues of private rights, regardless of litigant consent.
The Bankruptcy Act of 1978 ("Act"), established a nationwide system of specialized courts to handle the flood of claims inherent in a declaration of bankruptcy. These bankruptcy courts were staffed by officials ("bankruptcy judges") presidentially appointed to fourteen-year terms. They were empowered to decide not only statutorily-defined bankruptcy claims, but also claims by and against the bankruptcy estate that arose in the process. Thus, a bankruptcy court's jurisdiction included common law contract and tort claims related to the bankruptcy. The bankruptcy courts could also issue stay orders binding on Article III courts exercising concurrent jurisdiction over such claims.
In Northern Pipeline Construction Company v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., 458 U.S. 50 (1982), a plurality of the Court struck the Act as an unconstitutional delegation of federal judicial power for two reasons. First, the Act unconstitutionally granted the non-Article III bankruptcy courts power to issue final judgments in claims involving private rights (those centered on common-law rights). This holding relied in part on Crowell v. Benson, 285 U.S. 22 (1932). Crowell held Congress could implement legislation by establishing Article I courts to preliminarily decide certain fact-based issues prior to litigation in the Article III court that would finally decide the case. Crowell established Article I courts are properly conceived as adjuncts to Article III courts. Contrarily, in Northern Pipeline, Congress empowered bankruptcy courts to issue final judgments subject only to the judicial review from an appellate court. Article I courts were only allowed to decide issues of public rights. Public rights disputes are those 1.) to which the federal government is a necessary party or involve the waiver of the federal government's sovereign immunity, and 2.) which center on rights created by federal statute or regulation. Thus, Congress violated Article III by granting Article I bankruptcy courts power to finally decide private rights disputes.
Second, the Act unconstitutionally granted non-Article III judges power over "essential attributes" of Article III judicial power. By granting bankruptcy courts power to issue final judgments with res judicata effect on Article III courts and the power to stay proceedings in Article III courts, Congress had made the bankruptcy courts too powerful to be justified as adjuncts. Bankruptcy courts were too similar to Article III courts and unconstitutionally threatened the independence, impartiality, and separate power of the Article III judiciary.
Following Northern Pipeline, Congress tried again by amending the Bankruptcy Act in 1984 to cure the 1978 Act's constitutional defects. It 1.) limited bankruptcy courts' subject-matter jurisdiction and the power of its judgments, and by 2.) linked the bankruptcy courts to district courts in a more emphatically adjunct-like fashion. However, they remained non-Article III courts as bankruptcy judges continued to lack life tenure in good behavior and protection against salary diminishment.
In Stern v. Marshall, 131 S. Ct. 2594 (2011), the Court held 5–4 that bankruptcy courts lacked constitutional authority to issue final judgments on state law counter-claims pending in Article III courts. Because bankruptcy judges, for whatever reason, remained non-Article III judges under the amended Act, they remained unable to issue judgments on private rights issues with res judicata preclusive effect on Article III courts.
Until Schor, the Court had hewed a formalist line on the jurisdiction of non-Article III adjudicatory bodies stretching back to Murray's Lessee v. Hoboken Land & Improvement Co., 59 U.S. 272 (1855). There, the Court first held that the separation of powers prohibited Congress from granting legislative courts jurisdiction over private rights claims. However, the Schor Court broke this precedent by prescribing a functionalist test for determining the constitutionality of non-Article III power. After Schor, a court assessing whether Congress had properly granted Article I courts jurisdiction over private rights considers: 1.) whether Congress thereby impinges on essential attributes of judicial power, 2.) the nature of the rights subject to the delegated jurisdiction, and 3.) Congress's motivation for doing so. This test prescribes a normatively-guided inquiry so formless that it amounts to a pro forma, pre-rubber stamp judicial "feelings check" guided by no binding precedent whatsoever. Post-Schor, kangaroo courts may rise and fall with the level of ephemeral inter-branch harmony. Thus, Schor is the first step down the slippery slope away from an independent, impartial judiciary.
This Term, the Court granted cert in Wellness International Network v. Sharif. The Court will decide "whether Article III permits the exercise of the judicial power of the United States by the bankruptcy courts on the basis of litigant consent." Thus, Schor is up for review.
The Court in Wellness International should eliminate the Schor litigant-consent aberration from its otherwise formalist Article III jurisprudence. As he did in Marshall, Chief Justice Roberts should lead a charge against Article III functionalism, which the Court has rightfully opposed throughout American history. If Congress is allowed to continue impinging on Article III courts' essential functions, the surging passions that course through that fickle Body will — through a series of irrational Acts — subjugate entire categories of rights and to tribunals staffed by like-minded pawns.
The absurdity behind this discussion is that Congress could cure bankruptcy courts' constitutional defects simply by making them Article III courts. However, Congress continues obstinately to delegate jurisdiction over private rights to officials susceptible to coercion through threats of firing or pay diminishment by the political branches. The Court should maintain the judiciary's independence and impartiality by holding categorically that only Article III judges may adjudicate private rights disputes.

Transition Roadmap Guidance on Using SSPPs to Develop PTASPs
transition-roadmap-guidance-using-sspps-develop-agency-safety-plans.pdf
In light of the extraordinary challenges presented by the COVID-19 public health emergency, on December 11, 2020 FTA issued a second Notice of Enforcement Discretion for the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) regulation (49 CFR Part 673). FTA will refrain from taking enforcement action until July 21, 2021 for recipients and subrecipients unable to certify compliance with the PTASP regulation. Please visit FTA's COVID-19 FAQs page for more information about the Notice.
The PTASP TAC remains available to help you meet PTASP regulation requirements.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) created this Roadmap to help Rail Transit Agencies (RTA) transition their safety plans from the requirements for System Safety Program Plan (SSPP) under 49 CFR Part 659 (Part 659), to the requirements for Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) under 49 CFR Part 673 (Part 673). FTA developed this Roadmap to provide guidance only; it is not a substitute for FTA's regulation.
FTA published 49 CFR Part 673 on July 19, 2018, with an effective date of July 19, 2019. Each RTA must certify to FTA that it has established a comprehensive PTASP meeting 49 CFR Part 673 requirements by July 20, 2020. The State Safety Oversight Agency (SSOA) also must review and approve the PTASP for each RTA within its jurisdiction, as specified in 49 CFR Part 674, FTA's new State Safety Oversight (SSO) rule.
The PTASP, based on the Safety Management Systems (SMS) approach, builds on current RTA safety practices and activities detailed in the SSPP. While Part 673 requires new processes and activities, as discussed in the preamble to FTA's final rule, many elements of an existing SSPP can be used to build the new PTASP sections.
This Roadmap highlights similarities and differences between Part 659 and Part 673 requirements to support RTAs in incorporating relevant SSPP elements into the PTASP. It also draws on the SSPP-PTASP Crosswalk Matrix that FTA released accompanying the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for Part 673. As highlighted in this matrix, the substantive elements of the SSPP required under Part 659 carry over into the SMS portions of the PTASP required under Part 673.
The PTASP requirements, except for the emergency preparedness and response plan requirement, apply to all public transportation operations except for modesregulated by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) or the United States Coast Guard (USCG). Each RTA will need to determine how to structure its PTASP to address, or create separate sections for, each public transportation mode.

Sunil Chhetri – The Indian Football Legend
Date: October 15, 2022Author: Abhishek Sharma 0 Comments
Sunil Chhetri, the captain of the Indian national football team, was born on August 3, 1984, in Secunderabad, India.
He is a member of both the Indian national team and Bengaluru FC, an Indian club. He holds the Indian national team record for most caps and goals scored.
Chhetri began competing in football competitions at a young age.
Chhetri began his professional career with Mohun Bagan in 2002. Later in his career, he played with JCT, the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer.
From 2013 until 2015, he was a member of Bengaluru FC. Chhetri was signed by Mumbai City for Rs. 1.2 crores at the 2015 Indian Super League auctions, making him the most expensive Indian player.
International Debut for team India
On March 30, 2004, Chhetri made his debut for the Indian U-20 squad in a 1-0 victory over the Pakistan U-23 team at the 2004 SAF Games in Pakistan.
In Chhetri's debut international event, the 2007 Nehru Cup, India trounced Cambodia 6-0, with Chhetri scoring two goals.

Google Chrome on OS X Now Has Greasemonkey Built-in!
One of the big bummers for me of using Google Chrome on OS X was the lack of Greasemonkey script support. There were some various hackish ways to make it work for Windows versions but I couldn't find a reasonable way on OS X. Tonight I realized part of why that is. The support is there, but there just is no interface around it. However, if you click on a Greasemonkey script it installs and is visible right there on the chrome://extensions page.
The main script I want to run is the "Enhance ComicBookDB" script, which adds some links and changes some defaults to that site. I clicked it and Chrome asked me if I wanted to install it. I did, reloaded Comic Book DB and voila, it was working. Wow! This is working for me in the 4.0.249.22 build. This makes me freakishly happy.
Here is the direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for January 4, 2009. I play a song from the Jody Grind; I talk about the new year, about being too fat and deciding where to spend my time; I talk about how I am getting back to collecting comic books; I talk a little about Saul Griffith and lifestyle wattage; I play a song by John Cameron Mitchell and then drag race out of town.
I've entered everything I could on my printout into ComicBookDB. The next pass involves adding issues and/or titles to the database that don't already exist in it. I've been pulling out copies of those issue and also ones that exist but need a scanned cover. I've uploaded around 10 covers so far. There are 90 more that are in my collection but have no cover, so over the next few weeks I should get all of those in there. I'm in this for the long game, so there is no particular hurry.
One of the things I've always notices about hobbies – be it comics or gaming or crafting – that you can tell you really love a hobby when you enjoy doing the most menial, routine things about it. I have no problem doing sorting and alphabetizing and filing work with my comic collection that I would hate to do for a living as a Harvey Pekar style file clerk (see what I did there?) It's kind of mind-numbing work to pull file copies of comics, unbag them, scan them, save them to two files 100 pixels and 500 pixels wide, and then upload them. And yet, I am having fun. If only I could harness this to make every routine task in my life enjoyable, I would make a billion dollars. Which I then could spend on more comics.

The City of Pineville, Missouri, is located in extreme Southwest corner of Missouri at the junction of 'Three Rivers'. The Little Sugar Creek and Big Sugar Creek merge and form the Elk River. Pineville sees thousands of tourists each week who visit our many public river access points and campgrounds.
This growing community is just seven miles north of the Arkansas state line. Population projections estimate Pineville has tremendous growth potential in the immediate future because the urban sprawl from northwest Arkansas continues to move north at a rapid pace. Pineville leadership is working diligently to promote and provide opportunities for business growth.
Pineville, Missouri is also the County Seat for McDonald County, Missouri, and the "Tourist Welcome Center" in the "New City Hall" right off the square.


You think a Smart Factory so far only works in theory? Then you might want to take a look at the new TRUMPF technology centre based in Chicago. There we daily demonstrate how a fully networked production can successfully be run in practice. The centre is a place where people and machines, software and automation smoothly cooperate. The fully networked production cleverly interlinks the whole process chain of a typical sheet metal production, including the placing of an order, the construction and production as well as the shipment of a sheet metal component.


Drontal Allwormer Chewables kill the most important types of intestinal worms found in Australian dogs, including roundworm, hookworm, whipworm and tapeworm.
Drontal not only protects your dog from worms, it also provides protection for the whole family from gastrointestinal parasites.
Your veterinarian can also advise whether your dog needs Drontal Allwormer to control giardia, which causes diarrhoea in dogs.
Your dog won't need to fast before taking Drontal unlike other wormers. Drontal is so safe it can be used on puppies from 2 weeks old.
Made with real liver, Drontal Chewables are high in flavour, it can also be combined with other heartworm prevention and flea or tick treatments such as Advantage or Advantix for dogs.
Drontal Allwormer for Dogs offers fast and effective control of worms. To treat your dog or puppy, you will first need to determine your pets' bodyweight and then follow treatment instructions outlined on the pack.
Each dog worming tablet is given as a single dose by mouth.

Q: WP8 LongListSelector: Add new item without scrolling to top When I add items to the ItemsSource of a LongListSelector, the LongListSelector automatically scrolls to the top. Is there anyway to disable this?
I tried to use the ScrollTo function after loading, but that is not good enough since I want to stay at the exact same scroll position (meaning I don't want the LostListSelector to scroll at all, when I add a new item to its ItemsSource).

A: The problem was that I used a List instead of ObservableCollection as the ItemsSource for the LongListSelector and that I used the Lists set function, which implements NotifyPropertyChanged, to assign images to the LongListSelector. This NotifyPropertyChanged event causes the LongListSelector to scroll to index 0 of the ItemsSource.
So I solved it by changing the ItemsSource to an ObservableCollection and use Add instead of the setter for the ObservableCollection.

The Mysterious Curse of the Manila Film Center
by MLC | Dec 10, 2019 | Martial Law Stories | 0 comments
Source: Esquiremag.ph
By: Nicai de Guzman
Haunted infrastructure is often believed to bear a tragic past and the Manila Film Center is no exception. Located in Manila near the Cultural Center of the Philippines, it was supposed to be the centerpiece of the Manila International Film Festival, the Asian equivalent of the Cannes Film Festival in France.
Then disaster struck.
Manila Film Center: Delusions
It started with a dream and that dream was to make Manila the cultural center of the East, a city that could compete with France and its Cannes Film Festival.
In 1981, First Lady Imelda Marcos wanted her ambition realized. And, at that time, whatever she wanted, she got. Like when she wanted a spectacular theater to host the Miss Universe Pageant 1974. The Folk Arts Theater, designed by National Artist for Architecture Leandro Locsin, was completed in a record 77 days.
For Imelda, the Philippines was in a strategic position to be an international marketplace for films. It made sense to have a Manila International Film Festival.
"It is both East and West, right and left, rich and poor. We are neither here nor there," she said in a press conference before the festival.
Manila International Film Festival's pièce de résistance was going to be the Film Center, designed by Froilan Hong and conceptualized by Ramon M. Ignacio, former senior technology officer at the Technical Resource Center. The inspiration for the building was the Parthenon in Athens, a temple to honor the goddess Athena.
There was a grand plan for the building, but it was eventually redesigned to house only an auditorium, a film lab, and film archives. For the latter's design, the team requested the assistance of experts from UNESCO, who gladly lent their help in 1981.
With three months to go before the scheduled January event and a budget of $25 million (supposedly allocated for a new wing of the PGH), it was predictably a disaster waiting to happen. Nevertheless, around 4,000 laborers were hired and they rotated among three shifts across 24 hours.
With a more sensible time frame, the grand lobby would need six weeks. For the center, 1,000 workers finished it in 72 hours.
Manila Film Center: Entombed
On November 17, 1981, at around 3 a.m., scaffolding on the fourth floor collapsed and workers were trapped in the quick-drying cement. The problem started when quick-drying cement was poured on each floor without waiting for the layers to dry. Due to the rush and the endless hours of working, too much was poured, resulting in the disaster.
Nena Benigno, former public relations officer for The Experimental Cinema of the Philippines and the Manila International Film Festival, saw the immediate aftermath of the accident. Benigno was also the daughter of former press secretary and columnist, Teddy Benigno, who was then working for Agence France Presse. Teddy wanted to write a story about it and he told Nena that she should rush to the site.
"From a distance I could see people in stretchers being carried out, frozen in cement. When I got there, they were still digging out people; [the cement] was not completely hard. And there was a guy that they were trying [to] keep from going into shock," she said in an interview.
"Half of his body was buried. He was alive, but half buried. I don't know what it was, but to keep him awake, alert, not to go into a coma or shock, they kept him singing Christmas songs. I was watching this," she added.
For fear that the accident would cause a scandal, there was a media blackout. Responders were only allowed access to the site nine hours after the incident. By that time, at least 168 workers already died or were buried in the cement, which already hardened.
Jackhammers were employed hours later. There was a gruesome view of bodies sticking out of the pavement. The exposed parts had to be tapered off and built over. The rule was they had to meet the deadline, no matter what happened.
It was Betty Benitez, wife of assistant minister Jose Conrado Benitez, who apparently gave this order to and continue construction as if nothing had happened. The hauntings and strange happenings began that day.
Manila Film Center: Haunted
According to rumors, a fortune-teller allegedly told first daughter Imee Marcos that she would die if she stepped foot in the building. Whether or not this was true, no effort was spared to "cleanse" the place. There were exorcism rites, pagan rites, Catholic rites, and Chinese rites. Officers were given anting-antings or amulets to ward off evil spirits.
On the morning of the opening, January 18, as early as 5 a.m. several Igorots performed another ritual, telling any lingering spirit that they must cross over to the afterlife. Pigs and chickens were killed for sacrifice and those attending the ritual, including the anxious Imee, needed to consume them.
Benigno remembered Imee saying that she asked Via Mare to cater, but that the Igorots could eat the dead animals.
Despite these efforts, those preparing for the festival had their share of strange experiences. The usherettes who came from exclusive girls' schools started smelling something odd backstage. Almost all of them felt something cold blowing on their skin. Their skin tingled at a strange presence.
According to other stories, the deceased workers showed themselves to their colleagues or even to the guests.
A few months later, Benitez died in a freak car accident. Many alleged that it was the victims taking revenge. A medium who was sent to Manila Film Center supposedly claimed that the spirits said, "Betty is with us."
When the date of the festival finally arrived, the accident seemed forgotten. The cement was allegedly not completely dry. It didn't matter; international press raved about the event.
The New York Times called it "All-Out Spectacular" and went on to narrate a non-stop party for more than 300 guests, including George Hamilton, Peter Ustinov, Priscilla Presley, Jeremy Irons, and Brooke Shields.
Imelda threw parties at Malacañang, where guests were treated to $100 bottles of Champagne. There was another party at Fort Santiago where the first lady was literally dazzling in diamond earrings, bracelets, and necklace. For the opening night itself, she was dressed in a black and emerald green terno, which was decorated with several layers of peacock feathers from India.
Unbeknownst to the visitors, the wet cement was staining the hems of their clothes and the bottoms of their shoes. They were also stepping on the remains of hundreds of Filipino workers who were entombed in a cursed building.
Manila Film Center: Aftermath
The Manila Film Center showed films from 39 countries, including Norway, New Zealand, India, Mexico, Egypt, Hungary, and Argentina. India's 36 Chowrighee Lane won Best Picture; Lumila Gurchenko and Bruno Lawrence were named Best Actress and Actor, respectively. Goran Markovic of Yugoslavia won Best Director for Majstori, Majstori!
By the festival's end, 30 Filipino films worth $500,000 were sold through distribution deals in West Germany, Malaysia, and France. One of them was a movie featuring Pinoy actor Weng Weng.
Despite this success, a curse seemingly hung in the building and the festival itself. Moving forward, it suffered a financial setback. The $5 million subsidy allotted for the festival was disapproved by then Prime Minister Cesar Virata.
So that the center could survive, Imelda created an agency that would later be the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board. As stated in Presidential Decree 1986, the board allowed films that were close to soft porn to be shown in the center. The law also exempted all films to be shown during the festival from censorship, opening wide the doors for pornography. Droves of men were said to have lined up, almost destroying the doors for films like Virgin Forest.
However, earnings from these films were not enough to pay for all the debts incurred. After the Marcoses were thrown out, Rustan's took back all of its paintings and furniture.
When the 1990 earthquake happened, the center was abandoned after it was declared unstable. It was rehabilitated for P300 million and leased in December 2001 to Amazing Philippines Theater producers of The Amazing Show.
In the late '90s, there was gossip that one of the performers of the show was murdered and her body dumped on the steps. The ghost of the performer reportedly joined the ghosts that started haunting the area decades earlier.
The Amazing Show's lease expired in 2009 and for a time, the Philippine Senate considered moving there, but this never happened.
In November 2012, the Amazing Philippines Theater regained its lease, but another series of unexplainable accidents occurred. On February 19, 2013, a three-hour fire caused damage, amounting to P1.2 million, to the building
The building continues to be a source of inspiration for horror writers and a destination for ghost hunters. For some, it was a reminder of a glorious time when Filipino films took center stage. For others, it is a symbol of the Marcos dictatorship. But as it stands, the ghosts of Manila Film Center continue to live.

Guido "The Bull" Penosi (June 4, 1930 – Feb 22, 2010) was a narcotics dealer with the Gambino and Lucchese crime families who was indicted for an extortion attempt against singer Wayne Newton.

Newton and Penosi
Not much is known about Penosi's earlier years other than his being convicted of murder as a juvenile. In 1971, Penosi was convicted of tax evasion for not paying income taxes for several years during the 1960s. He was the cousin of Frank Piccolo.

During the 1960s, Penosi met Newton while he was performing at New York City's famous Copacabana Club. After that meeting, their friendship continued to develop. According to court records, Newton's office calendar marked Penosi's birthday prominently and Newton spent almost a month with Penosi in Florida. Penosi attended the wedding of Newton's brother, Jerry. In 1976, Newton flew to Los Angeles with his band to perform for Penosi's son free of charge.

Problem and payment
In 1980, Newton approached Penosi for help. Newton had pulled out of a Las Vegas tabloid show called Backstage. As a result, he had been receiving threats from other organized crime figures. To help Newton, Penosi contacted his cousin Frank Piccolo, who allegedly solved the problem. However, Newton may not have realized that Penosi and Piccolo expected some payback for this favor. As Judge William Norris of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit wrote,

"Newton went to Penosi with a problem and Penosi called Piccolo who helped solve the problem. Piccolo and Penosi later discussed 'earning off' Newton and possibly 'earning off' his ownership of the Aladdin Hotel. Piccolo and Penosi were investigated and indicted by a federal grand jury, which heard the testimony of Wayne Newton. All of these facts are beyond dispute."

Newton originally tried to deny any relationship with Penosi. Judge Norris wrote that Newton,

"...testified falsely that Penosi had never visited him" and that it was "...undisputed that a disagreement over an amount not less than $20,000..." had motivated Newton to go to Penosi for help.

This episode became public when the NBC TV network did an exposé on Newton's alleged mob connections. Newton tried to block NBC in court from airing the program, but failed. In June 1981, Penosi and Piccolo were charged with conspiring to extort money and 'valuable rights' from Newton and entertainer Lola Falana. The first trial resulted in a hung jury and the second trial in 1982 found Penosi not guilty on all charges.

Quotes about Penosi
 "Then there was the deposition my partner, Tom Kavaler, took of Guido Penosi, who arrived at the deposition open-shirted, adorned with large gold jewellery and dressed—I know of no other way to say it—like someone involved in organized crime. Tom questioned Penosi about his relationship with Newton and received detailed responses. When Tom asked Penosi, as he sometimes was obliged to, if he had engaged in one criminal act or another, Penosi would respond, "I take the Fifth" (pronounced "Fiff"), and Tom, at every break, would carefully assure Penosi that he was just doing his job. Penosi seemed amused, and so were we."Floyd Abrams.

Please select options for Deep Dish Bullitt Anthracite Wheel & NITTO INVO Tire Kit - 20x8.5 (05-10 GT; 05-14 V6) at the top of this page.
Easy "One Click" Shopping. This standard combo kit features four 20x8.5 Anthracite Bullitt wheels and 255/35-20 NITTO INVO tires. This popular Wheel and Tire Kit has been created for the exact specifications of your 2005-2010 Mustang for a guaranteed perfect fit with no rubbing or clearance issues.
would these fit ok with eibach sport system plus suspension drop?
On the video Justin states that they are running 20X8.5 on a 2011 gt. Also in the rim description under the video.
These wheels with the retro look are the best bang for your buck if you're looking for that "Bullit" appearance on your "S" body pony.
Wheels look very nice and high quality for price. I'm not sure if it's the Sumitomo tires or the wheels but the wheel edge sticks out past the tire on both from and back. These tires should be plenty wide for the wheels and this should not happen. Looks a little funny and leaves rim exposed to curb damage etc. It's not that way on the inside of the rim so I'm not sure what's up. Maybe the Nitto's look better.
My friend just put these on his week old Sterling Grey GT after lowering it with BMR springs. The combination is stunning, but boy is the front (non-Brembo) brake clearance tight! .004 inch. He polished off a few high spots on the calipers just to be sure. I cautioned him about ride quality with 20 inch wheels but with the Sumitomo tires it is surprisingly comfortable.
everywhere i go, these rims turn heads! the ride is not that smooth with the larger rims, but if you are buying 20's for your mustang i dont think you are concerned with ride quality. definitely gives a muscle car appearance!
A totally awesome new look to the car!!! Highly Recommended!!!


Zimmerman was allegedly enraged about the rapper's Trayvon Martin documentary.
George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murdering unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, has been charged with stalking a private investigator working on a Jay-Z documentary about the case.
Over the course of nine days in December, Dennis Warren got 55 calls, 67 text messages, 36 voicemails and 27 emails from Zimmerman, according to court documents. Zimmerman allegedly also threatened to feed the investigator to an alligator, the court papers show.
Zimmerman, who's had several run-ins with law enforcement since the racially charged 2012 case that ignited protests, is scheduled to be arraigned on the single misdemeanor charge on May 30.
Warren declined to comment, but according to a probable cause affidavit from the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, he was hired by a production company working with Jay-Z to contact people about participating in a TV series titled "Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story."
The investigator said he texted Zimmerman and left him a single voicemail with the number of co-producer Mike Gasparro, who then received a call from Zimmerman. After several months of interaction, Gasparro told Warren that Zimmerman was making threats against him.
"He's well on his way to the inside of a gator," Zimmerman allegedly texted Gasparro about Warren. Soon, Warren began getting messages and calls, too, including a link to an online article in which Zimmerman blasted the Trayvon Martin documentary.
"I know how to handle people who f--- with me. I have since February of 2012," the article quoted Zimmerman, apparently referring to the shooting of Martin.
When a Seminole sergeant called Zimmerman in January to try to defuse the situation, Zimmerman began screaming and cursing at her, calling her a "whore," police said.
Zimmerman's last attorney of record did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Zimmerman did not answer his own phone.
The onetime neighborhood watch volunteer became a central figure in a nationwide debate over race and self-defense when he shot 17-year-old Martin in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012. A jury found him not guilty of second-degree murder the following year.
Months later, his estranged wife called the police on him and said he had threatened her with a gun and punched her father in the face, but she later declined to press charges and police closed the case without any arrests.
In November 2013, Zimmerman was arrested for aggravated assault and battery after his girlfriend told police he pointed a shotgun at her, but prosecutors did not bring charges because she later recanted. Another woman told police in January 2015 that Zimmerman threw a wine bottle at her during an argument, but she also recanted.
Zimmerman has also been the target of attacks. In 2015, a Florida man named Matthew Apperson — who had a "fixation" on Zimmerman, according to police — shot at him while he was driving. Apperson was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
In 2016, Zimmerman reported being punched in the face at a bar. The same year, a deputy removed Zimmerman from a bar after an argument. Police said Zimmerman had used a racial slur against the manager. Zimmerman claimed he had been assaulted by a patron.
