SWAT season 4: See Shemar Moore back on CBS series' set
SWAT	 August 12, 2020
For those of you who aren't aware, SWAT is one of the first shows that is coming back to work during the global health crisis. The cast and crew are using a number of safety precautions on set, while also trying to tell stories that are important and topical.
In the post below for Shemar Moore's official Instagram, you can see a first look at the actor back on set as Hondo, complete with his uniform and also a face mask. It remains to be seen if the character sports the mask on the show, but it would make sense if he did. Given that SWAT as a series has been long about trying to tackle current events and make them into something meaningful, why wouldn't the writers want to bring something like that here? The story for the premiere could be about how these particular officers are working during a pandemic, and how they are working continuously to ensure that they can tackle all of the different issues that are thrown at them. We also expect social justice to be a big theme in this season, as well.
So long as SWAT can maintain the current production schedule that it has, we have an easy time imagining that it will be out on CBS this fall. It's currently slated to air Wednesday nights at 10:00 p.m. Eastern, where it follow The Amazing Race and then SEAL Team. We'll be waiting in order to see Survivor for a while.

This may seem silly but since I'm a Scorpio and since Saturn has entered Scorpio's first house and will be hanging around for the next almost three years, I decided to make myself a "short" To Do list.
I have a lot to accomplish and Saturn is sort of like a personal trainer. Saturn pushes hard and makes sure we learn the lessons we need to learn and do the things we say we want to do. In a nutshell, Saturn makes sure we stick to our word.
I think Saturn and I will get along just fine.
Write write write!!! Get my novels published. Sell my screenplays.
Study. Learn. Get good grades. Graduate.
Lose weight. Join Weight Watchers. Go to meetings. Work out.
Eat healthy. More vegetables. More fruit. Less junk.
Save money. Spend less. Pay off debt.
Meditate. Burn candles. Connect with nature.
Take more baths. Relax. Get massages and reflexology.
Sleep more. Take naps. Rest.
Clean house. Get rid of unnecessary things. Dust. Clean car.
Whiten teeth. Shower. Moisturize. Paint nails. Dress up.
Ignore toxic people. Leave the past behind. Forgive and forget.
Okay, now someone remind me in 3 years to come back and check the list to see if I actually did (and more importantly continued to do) the things I've set out to do.
I hope you accomplish everything you set out to accomplish, too.

The bound volume of the Fenwick Collection includes seven loose sheets of printed music inserted between pages 74-81, containing fourteen tunes. These sheets are cut or trimmed from the larger pages of a single, so far unidentified, publication; they may have been part of Fenwick's original loose papers, but the fact that they were not bound into the volume suggests that they were added after the collection was bound, possibly by Richard Welford or a later owner.
Several of these tunes have names associated with North or South Shields, or with families and places in those towns. Although further research is needed, these tunes do not seem to appear in any other known collections of dance music, and the writer knows of no other published dance tunes of this period which relate specifically to North and South Shields. The writer thinks it likely that they were written and printed locally and intended for local use.
These tunes are not primarily piping tunes, and only six are printed in keys naturally suitable for unkeyed pipes (G maj, D maj, and A maj, depending on the pipes used). Others are, as is fairly typical of collections of social dance tunes of this period, intended for fiddle and other melody instruments playing in the keys of C maj, F maj, B♭ maj, and E♭ maj.
The style of music printing is typical of the late 18thC or very early 19thC (for instance, the long S which appears 4 times in the titles as the first letter of a double-s spelling, was out of use in London by about 1800, and in the provinces within the following two decades or so).
It is possible to date these tunes with some certainty by reference to three of the titles, "The Nile", "The South Shields Volunteers Strathspey" and "Major Linshills Favourite Strathspey". The battle of the Nile (after which Nile Street in North Shields is probably named) took place on 1st & 2nd August 1798, so the tune is likely to have been given that title in the period of public acclamation that followed Rear Admiral Nelson's victory over the French fleet commanded by Admiral Paul D'Brueys.
Both of the other titles refer to the Volunteer Companies raised in c.1798 in reponse to the perceived threat of invasion during the wars with France. More specifically, Major Linshill can be identified as a local gentleman called William Linksill, still remembered in the name of Linskill Street, the Colonel Linskill public house and the former Linskill Secondary School (now the Linskill Centre) in North Shields. Mr Linskill, holding the rank of major, commanded the North Shields & Tynemouth Voluntary Infantry from its inception in 1798, but was promoted to Lt-Colonel in 1802. Assuming that the tune is contemporary with the events, and was not given a retrospective title, this helps date the name of this tune to between 1798 and 1802. This date range is consistent with the intermittent use of the long S and the style of printing generally.
In December 1798, a concert and ball was held under the patronage of Major Linskill and his officers, and advertised in the Newcastle Courant of 1st December 1798. It is tempting to speculate that Major Linshills Favourite Strathspey and the other tunes may have been played for dancing at that and other similar balls, and included "The Nile" in recognition of the patriotic fervour that followed Nelson's triumph.
Two of the musicians named in the advertisement can be identified as the same musicians who are advertised as playing in various combinations for similar concerts on behalf of the Newcastle Volunteer Corps several times between 1797 and 1800. That their names are printed in upper-case letters suggests that the people likely to attend the concert and ball would be expected to recognise the names and be attracted to the quality of the music.
Mr Wright was either Thomas or, more probably, his son William. Thomas was a Newcastle musician and composer, and William, also a musician, had a music shop in Newcastle and was the publisher of John Peacock's tune book.
Mr Mc'Intosh was Abraham Mackintosh, son of the famous Scottish fiddler Robert Mackintosh. Abraham migrated to Newcastle where he worked as a musician and dancing master. In 1801 he published "A Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, Jigs &c." One of his tunes, "Miss Aubone Surtees' Favourite", is also known as "Blaydon Flats" under which name it later became associated with the Gateshead fiddler James Hill; it is still in the local repertoire of traditional dance music.
These identifications are important in illustrating the existence of a network of musicians working in the area and playing for social dancing. This group of musicians also included John Peacock and Alexander Kinloch, a Newcastle dancing master for whom Thomas Bewick printed ball tickets with an illustration showed a Northumbrian piper playing for dancers.

Gov. Brown nominates Goodwin Liu to California Supreme Court
By Adam Bink
About a month ago, I wrote about the retirement of California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno, and the longstanding vacancy to fill that position, and how it might affect the Prop 8 case.
Late yesterday, Gov. Brown finally nominated someone to fill the position — and it's, in the opinion of many, one of the best candidates possible.
Gov. Jerry Brown nominated UC Berkeley law professor Goodwin Liu to the California Supreme Court Tuesday, giving the state high court a fourth Asian justice and a collegial liberal who is likely to be strongly supportive of civil rights.
Liu was President Obama's pick for a seat on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, but he failed to garner enough Republican support. Liu, 40, has never been a judge, but his colleagues at Berkeley, including conservatives, strongly endorsed him for the position.
Liu, a graduate of Yale Law School, is the son of Taiwanese immigrants. He was born in Georgia, grew up in Sacramento and has a history of public service.
Liu was a controversial pick for Obama, who nominated him twice. Senate Republicans criticized Liu's selection, saying that he was too left-leaning. Liu marked the first judicial pick to be blocked outright on the Senate floor since George W. Bush's first term.
[Updated at 9 a.m.: Liu is considered an expert on constitutional law, education policy, civil rights and the Supreme Court.
Before joining the Berkeley Law faculty in 2003, Liu was an appellate litigator at O'Melveny & Myers in Washington. He clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and for Judge David Tatel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. He also served as special assistant to the deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Education and as senior program officer for higher education at the Corporation for National Service (AmeriCorps).]
The appointment would fill the void left by the unexpected retirement of Justice Carlos R. Moreno, who gave Brown an early opportunity to put his stamp on the state's highest court.
Moreno, 62, was the only Latino and Democrat on the court. When he announced his retirement he said Brown's election cemented his decision to leave for work as either a private judge or for a private law firm.
Moreno was appointed to the top court by former Gov. Gray Davis in 2001.
Brown's selection of Moreno's successor had been closely watched. In 1977, he infuriated conservatives by naming Rose Bird, a friend and member of his Cabinet, as chief justice. Bird had never been a judge, and she voted to overturn every death sentence she reviewed. In 1986, voters rejected her in a retention election, defeating two other Brown appointees on the state high court at the same time.
Liu was one of 17 law professors who urged the California Supreme Court to end the ban on same-sex marriage in 2007 (In re Marriage Cases). He was one of President Obama's picks for the bench, but never got a vote on the Senate floor. His nomination was eventually withdrawn. To land on his feet at the California Supreme Court is great news.

Prop 8: Olson, Boies to receive American Bar Association Medal
From the team at AFER, via e-mail:
AFER's Lead Attorneys David Boies & Theodore B. Olson Awarded Top Legal Honor by American Bar Association
Fighting to End Inequality & Secure the Freedom to Marry for All Americans, AFER's Legal "Dream Team" Given Rare Award; Recognized for "Exceptional and Distinguished Service to the Law"
Los Angeles, CA – Today, the American Bar Association (ABA), the largest voluntary professional association in the world, announced that the American Foundation for Equal Rights' (AFER) lead attorneys, David Boies and Theodore B. Olson, have been chosen to receive the rare designation and one of the most prestigious awards in the American legal profession, the American Bar Association Medal.
AFER brought these two highly-respected attorneys together in 2009 to lead the federal case against Proposition 8 (Perry v. Brown), which placed a ban on marriage for gay and lesbian Californians. AFER, Olson and Boies achieved an unprecedented victory for marriage equality on August 4, 2010, when a U.S. District Court concluded that, "Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis."
Boies is the founder and chairman of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP. One of the nation's preeminent trial lawyers, Boies was recently named "Lawyer of the Year" by the National Law Journal and "Commercial Litigator of the Year" by Who's Who. Olson is a partner in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher's D.C. office and is one of the nation's premier appellate and U.S. Supreme Court advocates. The National Law Journal has repeatedly listed him as one of America's Most Influential Lawyers. Last year, TIME selected both Boies and Olson as two of the 100 most influential people in the world.
"Ted and David show that excellence in the legal profession transcends partisan and ideological boundaries," said Chad Griffin, co-founder and Board President of the American Foundation for Equal Rights. "Thanks to these two world-class legal minds the dark walls of discrimination are beginning to crumble. Ted, David and AFER will continue to fight for full federal marriage equality for all Americans."
Awarded for distinguished service by a lawyer or lawyers to the cause of American jurisprudence, the ABA Medal is given only in years when the ABA Board of Governors determines a nominee has provided exceptional and distinguished service to the law and the legal profession.
Among previous recipients of the ABA Medal are legendary justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, Felix Frankfurter, Thurgood Marshall, William J. Brennan Jr., Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy.
The award will be bestowed upon Boies and Olson during the meeting of the ABA House of Delegates at the Association's annual meeting on August 8th, 2011.

New York AG Schneiderman files brief challenging DOMA in Windsor v United States
This is one reason many of us New Yorkers told friends and family that Eric Schneiderman would be a strong advocate — perhaps an even better Attorney General than Eliot Spitzer. NYTimes:
The New York State attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, acting just days after the state began allowing gay couples to wed, filed a legal brief on Tuesday challenging the constitutionality of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
Mr. Schneiderman asserted that the law, which prohibits the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages, violates the right to equal protection under the law for gay and lesbian couples.
The brief, filed in Federal District Court in the Southern District of New York, refers specifically to New York State's Marriage Equality Act, which was approved by lawmakers last month and took effect to great fanfare on Sunday.
"Without such equal treatment by the federal government," Mr. Schneiderman wrote, "New York's statutory commitment to marriage equality for all married couples will be substantially unrealized."
Mr. Schneiderman submitted the brief in support of Edith S. Windsor, the plaintiff in Windsor v. United States. Ms. Windsor was married in Canada in 2007 to her longtime partner, Thea Spyer. The couple lived in New York City, and when Ms. Spyer died two years after their marriage, the federal government refused to recognize their marriage and collected estate taxes on her inheritance, prompting the lawsuit.
Ms. Windsor's legal challenge was one of two lawsuits that prompted President Obama in February to direct the Justice Department to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act, which Mr. Obama determined was unconstitutional.
The full 25-page brief can be found here. Kudos to Schneiderman for capitalizing on, as I've written, an important window of opportunity to raise awareness that while same-sex couples can be married in New York, their marriages are not equal. People who don't know a thing about DOMA will read and hear about this, and that serves an important purpose in public education.

As New York Marries, Al Franken Catches a Fibber
After a hiatus, please welcome back Matt Baume, who just joined the team of the American Foundation for Equal Rights (lucky to have him!), for his weekly posts on marriage equality! -Adam
Pretty quiet week, nothing too exciting — except everyone in New York getting married! Plus hearings on DOMA repeal, with Al Franken calling out an anti-gay liar. Plus more news from Maryland to Washington state.
Here's Kitty Lambert and Cheryle Rudd getting married at midnight at Niagra Falls on Sunday. It's huge that we now have marriage in New York. But it's also important to recognize what we still don't have: recognition in the vast majority of states, or from the federal government.
In fact, for some gay and lesbian couples, getting married carries special gay-only penalties. Under some circumstances, it could become harder for those couples to adopt. They could take on an extra federal tax burden. And if one of them is in the Army, they can still be discharged under Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
So gay couples can get married — but even in New York, we still aren't treated the same way as straight couples.
The other big news last week were the hearings on DOMA in Washington DC. Congress is still a long way off from repealing the law — that is, if a legal challenge doesn't invalidate it first. At this point, getting witnesses to speak on the record about DOMA's effects is a significant step.
The best highlight from the hearings was when Al Franken caught anti-gay activist Tom Minnery in a big lie.
FRANKEN: You cite a Department of Health and Human Services study that I have right here. … And it actually doesn't say what you said it says. It says that nuclear families, not opposite-sex married families, are associated with those positive outcomes. Isn't it true, Mr. Minnery, that a married same-sex couple that has had or adopted kids would fall under the definition of a nuclear family in the study that you cite?
MINNERY: I would think that the study, when it cites nuclear families, would mean a family headed by a husband and wife.
FRANKEN: It doesn't. … And I frankly don't really know how we can trust the rest of your testimony if you are reading studies these ways.
They do this all the time. The truth is that when studies compare gay parents and straight parents, they're pretty much indistinguishable. That's why so many professional organizations like the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association have endorsed marriage equality. So if you hear someone say otherwise, don't be afraid to tell them that you know they're lying.
It's kind of amazing how much has changed since DOMA was signed. The think tank Third Way has a new study out documenting our advancements. One of the most important changes: the number of people who say that they know a gay or lesbian person has gone up by 35 percentage points, from 42 to 77 percent. Of course, everyone knows an LGBT person, since we're everywhere — in every town, every company, every family. All that's changed is that more of us are open and honest than ever before.
So. What's next?
Maryland. This week Governor Martin O'Malley committed to making marriage a top legislative priority in 2012. His tepid support during this year's legislative session was partially blamed when a marriage bill failed to pass, so we have a very good chance of winning Maryland, possibly in a special session as early as October of this year.
And then there's Washington state. This week Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown pledged to make a "serious effort" to pass a marriage equality bill within the next year.
So 2012 is shaping up to be an extremely busy year, with marriage fights all over the country. Oh, and also there's going to be a presidential race, so clear your calendar. We'll see you next week.

The path towards DOMA repeal from marriage in NY
Sen. Feinstein was on CNN's State of the Union yesterday, talking DOMA repeal in the context of marriage in NY:
One of the more uncovered issues (with the exception of CNN, to their credit) is how more couples married in NY will find the pain of DOMA now more applicable to their lives, which presents our movement with a strong organizing opportunity. Many same-sex couples think their marriages are equal to heterosexual marriages. They aren't. Or, as Larry Kramer put it in his usual forceful way:
"These marriages, in whichever state, are what I call feel-good marriages," Kramer told The New York Times for a story published over the weekend, as the first ceremonies took place. "Compared to the benefits heterosexual marriages convey, gay marriages are an embarrassment — that we should accept so little, and with so much hoopla of excitement and self-congratulation."
I wouldn't dismiss the joy in the way Larry does, but his point is well-taken. As I've written before, I was shocked when I went home recently that for all amount that people wanted to talk about marriage in NY, no one knew what the Defense of Marriage Act was. A strong public education opportunity. The next time someone asks me "isn't it great?", one might reply, "yes, but…" and continue the process of educating and mobilizing.

NY's anti-equality team heads to court; but does sorely losing = legal standing?
Cross-posted at Good As You
By Jeremy Hooper
Oh look, a lawsuit. And of course they're using the Liberty Counsel, an extremely far-right legal outfit that decried the Prop 8 defense for not being anti-gay/pro-"ex-gay" enough:
A lawsuit challenging the legality of the process that brought gay "marriage" legislation to the floor of the New York State Senate will be filed in the Livingston County Supreme Court this morning.
New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, Rev. Jason J. McGuire, Rev. Duane R. Motley and Rabbi Nathaniel S. Leiter are listed as plaintiffs. The plaintiffs, represented by the Liberty Counsel, contend that same-sex "marriage" legislation was only able to pass the State Legislature through:
-meetings that violated New York State Open Meetings Laws.
-the suspension of normal Senate voting procedures to prevent Senators who opposed the bill from speaking.
-failure to follow Senate procedures that require that a bill must be sent to appropriate committees prior to being placed before the full Senate for a vote.
-unprecedented Senate lock-outs by which lobbyists and the public were denied access to elected representatives.
-the Governor's violation of the constitutionally mandated three-day review period before the Legislature votes on a bill by unjustifiably issuing a message of necessity.
-promises (which were fulfilled) by high-profile elected officials and Wall Street financiers to make large campaign contributions to Republican senators who switched their vote from opposing to supporting the Marriage Equality Act.
NYCF Files Suit Against State Senate [NYCF]
Look, I completely defend their right to bring a case. Have at it. Because not only is it a great American freedom, but also: These continued theatrics against something the state's residents support in majority numbers only help our future pushes. A loss on this for them will mean another step towards our sustainable win.
Let's just hope NYCF has enough fortitude to submit into evidence the "perverted and twisted" things they used to drum up their own cause.
*Oh, and Liberty Counsel: Please, please, please put your own Matt Barber on tho case, where he can share some of his but its charm with the court. Things like: The time Matt said that gay male relationships constitute "one man violently cramming his penis into another man's lower intestine and calling it 'love'"; the time Matt called President Barack Obama an anti-american enemy; the time he accused Obama and Barney Frank of being anti-religious bigots; the time he suggested there are "sinister motives" in the Obama White House; the time he agreed with TVC's Andrea Lafferty that homosexuality is "among a litany of…sexual deviances" that include things like sex with an amputee's stump and sexual behavior involving feces and urine; the time he likened pro-equality progressives to Fred "God Hates F*gs" Phelps; the time he referred to marriage equality advocates as "purveyors of evil"; the time he compared gay unions to marrying a house plant; the time he said Ellen Degeneres "guides her many adoring housewife fans into rebellion against God's divine and explicit natural order"; the time he called Google "satanic" for supporting marriage equality; the time he accused gay-friendly media outlets of trying "to make the absurd appear reasonable and normal"; the time he referred to the Muslim faith as "Satanic";etc., etc. More than just about anyone in the "pro-family" world (with the possible exception of Bryan Fisher), Matt has made the choice to go as personal, as negative, as hyperbolic, and as wantonly hurtful as humanly inhumanely possible. He does this on the daily.

Marked by their simple effectiveness and affordability, postcards have carved their own niche in the world of marketing with a number of valuable applications. First, they allow you to hone your target demographics to a specific, usable cross-section of what is first a looming amount of data. Next, Postcard Printing establishes an instant connection with prospective clients and customers because postcards aren't hidden or encumbered by envelopes like their direct mail counterparts. These benefits, however, will only befall the marketing entity that knows how to effectively market their products and services on a postcard. Without a definitive direction, specificity, and a powerful image, it is very difficult even for postcards to avoid the waste bin.
Before diving into the tonal elements of the picture itself, you must first establish a definitive direction. This is based on the reaction that you want your postcard to have on the consumer and as such should act as a guide for the rest of the decisions involved in production of every aspect of your marketing message. Whatever your exact approach is, the general goal is that the consumer is intimately acquainted with your brand or brands, and will contact you or physically come to your store.
If you work on behalf of marketing or advertising clients, but you just don't have the time or resources to manage your clients' direct mail needs on your own, Color FX Web can help. We offer Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) advertising, so you can focus on running your business while we handle your clients' local print advertising needs. At Color FX Web, we strive to help your clients achieve their goals with our superb line of direct mail printing products, and that in turn bolsters your business.
Direct mail advertising remains an invaluable marketing tool, even in this increasingly digital age, because there is no more effective way to reach out to the local population. Just as versatile as the product itself are the customizable options that we offer. Your clients can choose from four different sizes and three different coatings, so that the product reflects their explicit goals, needs, and brand.
Our direct mail printing service is one of the most cost-effective ways to advertise your clients' products or services. However, inexpensive doesn't mean cheap at Color FX Web. We print using only the latest high-tech equipment, with soy-based inks and post-consumer recycled paper stock.


So many people feel like they can't teach, or lead, or write because they don't think they have anything of value to share.
At least not compared to other people.
Other people are bigger experts or more experienced or more successful.
And if someone else is always a rung above them, then why is it worth sharing anything?
But that's that a cop out.
We all have an amazing personal repository of experiential wisdom.
Sure it can take some practice to share those stories in a way that resonates and inspires, but that's different than saying you've got no wisdom to offer the world.

Migrants In Mexico Seeking U.S. Asylum Wait Amid Dangerous Conditions
All right. The situation is getting worse for asylum-seekers who are being sent back to Mexico to wait for their day in U.S. immigration court. More than 30,000 of them are waiting in border towns like Nuevo Laredo, where cartels and gangs are wreaking havoc. Now those criminal elements are targeting the migrants who fled their Central American homes and are waiting in these towns, hoping to be allowed into America. NPR's John Burnett has the story.
JOHN BURNETT, BYLINE: U.S. immigration agents practiced their riot control on the international bridge between Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, one morning this week.
UNIDENTIFIED AGENTS: (Chanting unintelligibly).
BURNETT: They drill regularly with helmets and shields in case desperate asylum-seekers in Mexico rush the port of entry. It's a real concern as desperation grows. Migrants are being told to come back in December for their first immigration hearing. Meantime, the long wait in Nuevo Laredo has become treacherous. To give you an idea how bad things are, a fearsome gun battle erupted on the main boulevard to the airport Wednesday afternoon. Cars careened off the thoroughfare in terror while rival narcos blasted away at each other. A driver posted a video on Facebook.
(SOUNDBITE OF GUNFIRE)
BURNETT: The Cartel of the Northeast operates with impunity in Nuevo Laredo. They cruise around town in olive-drab pickups with Tropas del Infierno - Soldiers from Hell - emblazoned on the doors. And extorting migrants is their latest income stream. Three weeks ago, a pastor named Aaron Mendez, who ran the Love migrant house, was kidnapped. One news report says Mendez refused to turn over Cuban migrants to the extortionists, so they grabbed him. A spokesman for the state prosecutor's office says the pastor remains missing, and the investigation continues.
All of this makes father Julio Lopez extremely anxious. He's director of the Nazareth Migrant House. He won't talk about organized crime in his city. It's too risky. But he has plenty to say about the Trump administration's Remain in Mexico program, formerly known as the Migrant Protection Protocols - or MPP. Under the program, some 4,500 asylum applicants have been returned to Nuevo Laredo to wait.
JULIO LOPEZ: (Through interpreter) In Spanish, the program has the initials PPM. For me, it's PMM - plan of lies for migrants because there is no protection.
BURNETT: Lopez has seen it himself - kidnapping is rampant. Migrants cower in fear in the city's shelters, including his own. Mexico's National Immigration Institute has been providing migrants with free bus trips to Monterrey and Tapachula in the far south of the country to get them out of crime-ridden Nuevo Laredo.
CESAR ANTUNES: (Speaking Spanish).
BURNETT: A Honduran named Cesar Antunes (ph), reached by phone, was on one of those buses last week and related a terrifying tale. He says pickups full of mafiosos blocked a government-contracted bus on its way out of the city. They ordered a dozen migrants off the bus and into their cars. Antunes says he heard this account from a passenger who was on the ambushed bus.
ANTUNES: (Speaking Spanish).
BURNETT: "Nuevo Laredo is more dangerous than San Pedro Sula, Honduras," he says, "which is where I fled." The Mexican government agreed to accept asylum-seekers sent back from U.S. ports of entry and to deploy security forces to its own borders to stop migrants. Customs and Border Protection Chief Mark Morgan called Mexico's cooperation a game changer. As a result, the number of migrants in U.S. Border Patrol custody has dropped dramatically in the last two months. Morgan says he was unaware asylum-seekers sent back to Mexico were targets for criminals. Here he is in a Q&A with a reporter.
MARK MORGAN: In Mexico, I don't know. I haven't heard anything like that. I haven't heard any reported...
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: You haven't heard any reports of extortion, kidnapping, rape in northern - in northern border towns in Mexico from the MPP program?
MORGAN: Not with respect to the MPP program.
BURNETT: The CBP chief may have gotten his misinformation from Mexican officials, like the office for disappeared persons in Nuevo Laredo. The chief investigator there told me, we have received no reports of kidnappings and extortion of migrants. Those are just rumors. You can't believe everything those people say.
Back in Father Julio's shelter, Liceth Morales (ph), a small woman with a young son and a high voice, is relating what befell them.
LICETH MORALES: (Speaking Spanish).
BURNETT: "It's dangerous in Nuevo Laredo. Lots of things can happen," she says, her lip trembling. She says they fled out-of-control crime in Honduras, thinking they could find refuge in the United States. But when she arrived at the Nuevo Laredo bus station, she says young men with tattoos and ball caps grabbed her and her son and held them prisoner for three weeks in safe houses. Ultimately, she says, her family in San Antonio paid $8,000 for her freedom.
Finally, she crossed the Rio Grande to the U.S., asked for asylum and was sent right back to Nuevo Laredo. This week, Liceth Morales decided to abandon her asylum request and return to Honduras on that free daily bus to southern Mexico. Father Julio, the shelter operator, says most of the other migrants are doing the same thing - going home. The Mexican government points to crime and violence in Nuevo Laredo as a reason for the migrants to leave.
LOPEZ: (Speaking Spanish).
BURNETT: "It's the perfect excuse to get rid of them," the priest says, "because the government doesn't want them here."

26 November 2004 – LAWFUEL – Legal, law, law firm news – International…
January 1, 2000, 12:00 am 1.3k Views
26 November 2004 – LAWFUEL – Legal, law, law firm news – International legal practice Allen & Overy won an award last night for its work on the 'Harry Potter & Tanya Grotter' case. The award was for 'Best European Copyright Litigation' at the inaugural Worldleader Informa Publishing European IP Awards held at The Radisson Hotel in London.
Allen & Overy successfully advised JK Rowling and Warner Bros. in relation
to the decisions by both the District Court and the Appeal Court in
Amsterdam, ruling that Russian writer Dmitry Yemets' book, 'Tanya
Grotter', is a clear copyright infringement of JK Rowling's works. The
ruling affirms the uniqueness of the literary works of Harry Potter.
As a result of an action brought by JK Rowling, Warner Bros and De
Harmonie, (the publishers of Harry Potter in the Netherlands), the Dutch
court said that publication of the translation of 'Tanya Grotter' would
constitute a clear infringement of both the copyright of JK Rowling and
the trademark rights of Warner Bros. The Court further stated that 'Tanya
Grotter' could not be considered a parody.
The Court ordered that the Dutch publisher of 'Tanya Grotter' should
refrain from any publication of the book. In addition, the Court ordered
that the publisher should refrain from any infringement of the Harry
Potter trademarks.
The Allen & Overy team in Amsterdam won this award for its work on the
landmark case. Never before has a litigant in Western Europe stopped
publication of an unpublished book on the ground of copyright
infringement, which reflects the nature of this achievement. The case
established some much commented on and much needed precedents in the
application of copyright law throughout Europe and also had considerable
commercial implications. It significantly raised the profile and
understanding of IP issues in the eyes of the global media and the public
Last night at the awards ceremony in London, Eric Keyzer, IP Partner in
Amsterdam, who led the team on this winning case said: "We are delighted
that the team has received this award and naturally we are pleased that we
helped Harry maintain his integrity – he was not quite ready for a Russian
sister!"
Geert Glas, Head of IP Global, was also at the awards ceremony and
commented: "The value of an award of this type can be measured in terms of
added respect for the work of the intellectual property lawyers at Allen &
Overy LLP".

For my mid-week weekend I donned my darling Musa purple and clear crystal sandals. And built my lilac and white outfit around it. It's ok, these sandals deserve it. For they are bedazzling.
And while I was out I saw a grown up blouse that Zara have just recently got in. Its coming to my wardrobe soon!! And I am hoping it will work nicely with these new Primark super skinny jeans in a dark emerald/ sea green. They are new and they have some other jewel colours, including a deep but vibrant blue.
I find the jewel-like colours incredibly attractive but sometimes difficult to style. Until I think of jewellery. So gold and silver make wonderful settings for coloured jewels and the vibrant colours work terrifically with off-white (like emeralds and pearls). And black. So I would wear metallics and off-white or black with jewel colours. I am sure I *sound* barking, but I think it also does make sense. Doesn't it?

I had some child free time today, which called for my non-child friendly outfit options. I have a few, but its hot so I immediately thought of all white as it seems so fresh and cool.
God bless the ruched H&M white vest, which I also bought in black, for doing its very best to disguise that I have put on a few kilos in the last month. Less snacking, and get Shredding! I wore the vest (now on sale!) with the charming guipure lace Zara mini skirt I picked up last week, then reduced to £19.99, and now down to £15.99!. It sits so nicely and the lace is so pretty. On my tootsies were my gorgeous new coral and Swarovski crystal Musa sandals (you may remember my post when I bought them). Just looking at my feet made me happy.
Overall, I felt quite good in today's outfit. My thanks go to the passing motorcyclist who obviously agreed it was a nicely chosen outfit [grin] as he wolf whistled at me today. Came as a shock because it never ever normally happens. Ever. I tell myself that it's because I am usually pushing a pram, but I don't think that's the whole reason!! Anyway, funny how when I was 20 I would have been embarrassed and outraged. Now that I am pushing 40 I was startled but grateful. How things change!!

Yesterday, I bought the most gorgeous bejewelled sandals from Musa (by the way, anyone notice that my opening para was to be read as per The Gruffalo??). So, I chose today as the day to wear them and walk here, there and everywhere. Turns out they aren't the *most* comfortable walking shoe. But I don't care. They look beautiful and I love them.
And since I was very disappointed with the Zara sale, I don't have any exciting Zara sales purchases to go bonkers over. Instead, enjoy more gratuitous photos of my stunning sandals. Wouldn't they be wonderful to take on a hot beach holiday, like to Sardinia? Did I mention I love them?

A girl took a stroll through her neighbourhood. The girl saw some shoes and the shoes looked good!!!
Musa sell the most divine bejewelled sandals, and now I am the very happy owner of 2 extra pairs. Oops a daisy. But aren't they sublime?! And since we are predicted to have a hot day tomorrow, I can happily muse over which Musa sandals to wear.
Here is a photo of me trying them on, which was such fun as the owner is a lovely lady and very happy to dig out different pairs for me to try, all the while chatting and laughing. Happy moments. One of the pairs that I bought are similar to these coral beauties.
Top: Primark, lavender New Look skinnies (sold out, but see here for the lemon yellow version, which also looks fab) and Musa sandals (see here for the current selection at Net-A-Porter)!

Teacher, students express remorse over outrageous Nazi cosplay

The teacher of a class of students that sparked outrage by dressing as Nazis at a campus cosplay event expressed remorse over the incident on Saturday, and said he hopes the public will give his students another chance.
In a statement issued through the Hsinchu Kuang-Fu High School, Liu Hsi-cheng, a history teacher and homeroom teacher for the class, said his students deeply regret their actions and believe that the entire class should take the blame because they made a collective decision to dress as Nazis.
Liu said the students were asked to dress as historical figures for the cosplay event on Friday to celebrate the school's founding anniversary, and when they voted to cosplay Adolf Hitler, he warned them that Hitler is a controversial figure and repeatedly asked if they really wanted to proceed with the Nazi theme.
But the Nazi theme got the most votes, so he decided to respect the students' choice.
(Cheng Hsiao-ming, right, president of the school, later apologized to the public for the incident.)
With hindsight, Liu admitted, he neglected his duty as a teacher and "should have immediately rejected (the decision) on the spot."
Some students are reportedly feeling distressed over the online backlash and have told the teacher that they cannot attend school on Monday.
The students triggered widespread criticism in Taiwan on Saturday after photos posted online showed them dressed in costumes resembling Nazi uniforms, wielding swastika flags and displaying Nazi tanks made of paper cartons at the cosplay event.
The incident prompted the Presidential Office to request that the Cabinet hold the high school accountable. The Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei and the German Institute Taipei also expressed shock and disappointment over the incident.
"It is deplorable and shocking that only seven decades after the world witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust, a high school in Taiwan is supporting such an outrageous action," the Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei said.
"We strongly condemn this tasteless occurrence and call on the Taiwanese authorities," at all levels, to initiate educational programs to introduce the meaning of the Holocaust and teach its history and universal meaning. Israel will support such endeavors as necessary, the office said.
Cheng Hsiao-ming, president of the school, later apologized to the public, and said that the school administration will take full responsibility for the incident.
A local history teacher alliance and the Action Coalition of Civics Teacher also issued a joint statement of apology, saying "we feel that we have not worked hard enough, and have allowed this absurd, ignorant and indifferent attitude toward the value of universal human rights to spread and become an international joke."
The groups called for more emphasis on transitional justice in school curriculum, and a comprehensive review of military-style student uniforms and events such as military song competitions in Taiwanese schools.

Story: Sachin Tendulkar plays himself in this sports-docudrama that traces the life and times of one of the world's biggest cricket phenomenas.
CRITIC'S RATING:3.0/5
AVG READERS' RATING:3.3/5
Cast: Sachin Tendulkar, Anjali Tendulkar, Mayuresh Pem
Direction: James Erskine
Genre: Biography
Review: When the protagonist has been the collective voice and conscience of India's cricketing history, then he's a tough subject to make a film on. Naturally, James Erskine puts Sachin on a pedestal and tells the story with an unnatural amount of reverence.
It's a treat to get a peek into Sachin's childhood. And it's also a fan-shriek moment to see footage of him in his personal space, looped to Dire Straits and Bappi Lahiri with his wife Anjali, his children—Arjun and Sara, his family and friends. The fact that Sachin is the sutradhar (narrator) who walks the viewer through his victories and injuries is an additional bonus.
Tendulkar fanatics can also feel the adrenaline rush because the film revisits his introduction to the world—yes, the time when he hit Pakistan's Abdul Qadir for four sixes in one over at the 1989 Exhibition Match. And yet another indelible memory revisited here, is the one in which he reduced Australia's Shane Warne into a punching bag in the 1998 Chennai test against the Aussies. His achievements are far too many to be accommodated in one film! Cynics may argue that YouTube has it all, but for those whom Sachin is an emotion, watching this footage on the big screen and without constantly having to hit the search button, the experience is priceless.
But, wait there's a flip side too. Most controversies around the cricketing God are glossed over. Many of us (me included) die-hard Sachin fans are ready to face the fact that our icon may have displayed feet of clay on occasion. However, the film doesn't take chances. Sachin's poor performances in some key matches and his reluctance to comment on some of his boorish seniors are just touched on fleetingly.
The hagiographic narrative continues with commentators, critics and colleagues--Dhoni, Kohli, Ganguly, Sehwag and Harbhajan are (sigh!) only eulogizing the Little Master.
Academically though this film is important one because for a nation that revers cricket, it serves as a reminder that prodigies may be born, but they become Sachin Tendulkar only through perseverance, patience and preparation. Go India go.
I will watch the movie soon, to know about the god of cricket!
I am not a great cricket lover but I completely agree with MS Dhoni in the sense that &quotWhen Sachin come to bat, please tell me". It''s amazing to see the God of Cricket - SACHIN TENDULAKAR batting.

I am really excited to watch the iconic Sachin Tendulkar''s biopic to know more and more about him. I am a huge cricket fan.
Sachin! Sachin! Sachin! The movie was out of the world. They have put together important events of Sachin and executed them beautifully. The movie was going on and Sachin was narrating the whole movie, this added more effect to the movie. I have learnt lots from him. He is such an inspirational person. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie and got to know more about the iconic Sachin Tendulkar. No wonder he is called the God of Cricket. All cricket fans should surely see this film.

Two decades of unprecedented entertainment we Indians had when Sachin came out to bat. The aura in the stadium was different when he came walking from the pavilion onto the field. The zealous Indian crowd, always full of mirth and life, would cheer at the top of their lungs for this sporting icon. He wasn''t just an entertainer and a legend, he was a phenomena, a feeling. People worship him. I''ve never witnessed such craze for a sportsperson. Everybody loves him. He''s timeless, he''s Sachin.
For me, it wasn''t a movie. It was a blissful roller-coaster ride which I enjoyed and relished to my heart''s content. It was a journey. From day 1 of his career to the day he retired, fans have always stayed with him, be it rain or sunshine. The 2011 World Cup would be carved in Indian cricket history. For us cricket buffs, we were reliving all those time-stopping moments, all those celebratory moments. A memorable journey to be remembered and to get inspired from. For aeons to come. Forever.

I saw this movie it rocked. It is a wonderful tale


What Is it Like to Get Arrested and Go to Jail?
If a loved one has recently been arrested or if you anticipate the possibility of getting arrested, there are a few key things you need to know.
The obvious fact is this — going to jail is never pleasant.
From here, there are several factors that will influence your experience.
Under the 5th Amendment, you have the right, if you choose, to remain silent.
Arresting officers may ask you question, insinuate your guilt in a matter, or make offers.
The truth is, that isn't their job — that is up to state to prove any guilt. This means attorneys and judges.
There are a few things you can do within your rights to improve your conditions of being arrested — be quiet, compliant, don't resist, and don't provoke the police. This kind of thing only makes things worse. Don't give anyone ammunition they can use against you.
Without a warrant or probable cause, police aren't allowed to conduct a search of your home or vehicle without your consent. Probable cause, however, can be tricky. If the police see anything drug-related or anything pertaining to an accusation against you, this is enough to constitute probable cause.
Chances are, no one is going to hand you a phone book or a list of helpful numbers. Call a loved one who can make arrangements with a bail bonds company and your attorney. You may request a public defender as well if you don't have an attorney.
If you're arrested for intoxication, whether it be alcohol or drug-related, you can expect to stay in jail until your BAC levels are below .08% or you're no longer intoxicated.
In some cases, you may be able to get bailed out of jail within several hours of your arrival. In other cases, it could take a couple of days. Factors that can affect this include the nature of the alleged crime as well as the day of the week you get arrested.
We've hinted at the answer — it depends. Read on to learn more about how long it takes to get out on bail.


While Morgan Foster (Chandler, Sr.) has been a nationally ranked speed demon for several years now, but this was the first season since middle school that she was able to get in some indoor racing without any interruption to her winter training. This past weekend Foster raced the Junior Girls mile at the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center for the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston, MA.
According to Matt Lincoln, her distance coach at Chandler High School, "This is the first year finishing cross-country and the off season with no set back of any kind. Just being healthy for her is the key."
Just two weeks prior Foster ran 1:32 600m (which she won) and 2:48.10 in the 1,000m in collegiate fields at the UW Preview Invite. For the Indoor Grand Prix, Foster joined an elite field made of State Champions and powerhouses like Brynn Sumner from Georgia, Grace Connelly from Massachusetts, Victoria Vanriele from New Jersey, and Ericka Vanderlende from Michigan.
They took it out in a 38-seconds for the first lap and for the first half-mile Foster patiently sat behind Vanriele. She dropped the paced to a 36, then down to 35s, widening the gap all the way through the final lap where she dropped the hammer in 33 seconds to clock in at 4:50.13, clinching the victory with a lifetime best at the distance, let alone on an indoor track.
"NBGP was the target race but I wanted a chance to compete on an indoor track before that race so I raced at UW two weeks prior to NBGP. I was looking to drop a fast time because I'm in the best shape I've ever been in," sad Foster.
All three of her indoor performances are ranked top four in the country, which for us back home gives us goosebumps in anticipation for the outdoor season. Though she's enjoyed the indoor experience, Morgan explains, "I'm going to focus on outdoor season. I would love to continue with my indoor season but all of the possible meets are so far from Arizona."
Coach Lincoln says that the plan is to go back to strength training for the next few weeks before she even considers opening her outdoor season. Though there's no confirmation as to when that will be, we can bet that Chandler Rotary, Arcadia, and State will be the biggest priorities during the regular season.

Most drivers give little thought to the semi-trucks on the highway – or view them with either fear or contempt. But in our second hour, we'll hear stories from truck drivers about life on the road, their changing industry and aggressive drivers. iStockphoto.com hide caption
MLK Memorial
Thousands of visitors are expected to visit the new Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in Washington, DC this week. King becomes the first non-president and first African-American immortalized on the National Mall. The monument was many years in the making, championed by the African-American fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha. NPR's Corey Dade joins host Rebecca Roberts to talk about the dedication of the new memorial, the story of its creation and what visitors can expect.
Steve Jobs' Job At Apple
Steve Jobs broke the news last night that he will give up day to day operations at Apple. Few, if any, CEOs are as identified with their companies as Jobs. Under his watch, Apple redefined the personal computer, digital music player, mobile phone, tablet computer and animated film, among other products. While Jobs established a culture at Apple that lead to some of the company's most successful product launches, his leadership style occasionally rubbed people the wrong way. Guest host Rebecca Roberts talks with Brian Cooley, of CNET News, about Steve Jobs' significance, role and leadership style at Apple.
A Day In The Life Of A Truck Driver
Few outside the trucking world understand the complicated lives of long-haul truckers. When you have to pass a big rig on the highway, or perhaps one surges past you, it may not be your first instinct to think about the person in the cab. Dan Hanson, a fleet manager in Belle Plaine, Minnesota wrote a piece for the Star Tribune explaining that there may be a lot of things going on in the driver's life that others may not realize. There are speed requirements, fuel regulations, delivery deadlines, not to mention the personal issues that creep up during long stints on the road. Guest host Rebecca Roberts talks with truck drivers about their experiences and talks with Hanson about his piece, That truck driver you flipped off? Let me tell you his story.
Freshman Reads Series Continues
Fall is fast approaching — TOTN is tackling the next in our Freshman Reads series. Many colleges and universities are adopting the freshman common read program, where first year students read the same book during the summer and then discuss it when they get to campus. Today, guest host Rebecca Roberts talks with Rebecca Skloot about her book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, and the teachable moments this story can offer freshman students. What book would you add to a freshman common read list?
