I signed up for the Hotspot feature today, but I am having an issue using it on my Samsung Victory. I activate the Hotspot feature in the Settings and the SSID begins broadcasting, but when my laptop connects, it only has "limited connectivity" and it cannot browse out to the internet. I want to try a PRL/Profile update, but the System Updates entry is oddly missing on my Settings menu. Any suggestions?


It should look good with decals on.
+1. With some badges/decals, and all the other stuff like shocks, seat,wheels,etc, the contrast will break up all the silver and contrast it nicely. Be a shame to paint it again, at most i would only paint the guards a contrasting colour, either off white or black, but not until the wheels are done and then see how you like it.
Looks Great Alex! cool colour.
Looking good, I like the 'different' colour, makes it stand out.
BTW, is that the air filter sitting on bench behind, must be a big car by.
Looks like you are now the change bug one ,,," hahaha ,, not me anymore " .
The green i liked ,, looked a tad grainy ,, but i liked it .
But now in blue ,,,,i like blue a lot .
Now just build it ,,!!!

Kidsave Summer Miracles helps find families for older orphans, ages 10 to 13, who have little chance of being adopted in their own countries. Through a summer visit program international children ready for adoption are given the opportunity to meet and interact with prospective adoptive families.
Weekend Miracles is a new way of helping older kids in foster care. Because older kids "in the system" are hidden from view, they rarely meet people interested in helping them.
There are countless children in Colombia who have lost parents due to civil conflict and HIV/AIDS. While others are abandoned due to extreme poverty, parental drug abuse or arrest. Still others are left without homes and parental care after serving time as child combatants.
In Russia, every year approximately 130,000 children are registered as orphans due to death or abandonment by their parents, or because they have been removed from their homes for their own protection. While some are moved to the care of relatives, nearly 200,000 orphans are currently growing up without families in state institutions.
The Kidsave Sierra Leone Programme (KSLP) is Kidsave's latest and most innovative project to give orphans permanent family care in Sierra Leone, one of the poorest countries in the world. Approximately 57% of the population lives on less than $1 a day. Due to the Ebola outbreak the numbers of children who have lost their families has skyrocketed throughout the country. Having worked together over the last five years to find orphans permanent, loving family care within their communities, the needs of these Ebola orphans and their adoptive and perspective families has never been as urgent as it is right now.

Is there a remedy for a teacher who obtained a reversal of a U rating to have all back pay restored and references erased from his personnel file?
Yes. Glenn Storman started this proceeding in 2006. Storman, a teacher at the DOE for approximately 30 years, challenged an unsatisfactory rating he received resulting from allegations of sexual misconduct and corporal punishment made in retaliation for his verbally reprimanding a student in 2004. Storman's teaching career has been seriously impacted by these false allegations. In an Order dated October 26, 2007, Justice Marcy Friedman granted the petition and remanded the case to DOE for further findings of fact. After a second hearing, in a letter dated June 10, 2008, DOE upheld Storman's unsatisfactory rating. Storman then commenced a second Article 78 proceeding challenging the result of the second hearing. In an Order dated May 11, 2009, the Court granted Storman's petition because "it was irrational for the DOE to conclude that the alleged conduct amounted to corporal punishment" and "the penalty imposed was excessive and shocking to the conscience." This Court ordered that the unsatisfactory rating be annulled and that "this matter [be] remitted to [DOE] for further proceedings not inconsistent with the court's decision."
The purpose of remitting the case to DOE was for the DOE and the UFT, to take the appropriate steps to remedy the consequences of the underlying false allegations so that Storman would be properly compensated and his employment status restored. Upon remittal, the unsatisfactory rating was annulled, but no further steps were taken to compensate Storman or to remedy his employment situation. As a result, Storman moved to hold DOE in contempt. In an Order dated November 19, 2010, this Court held DOE in contempt for its willful and contumacious failure to comply with the Judgment.
The City appealed and in an Order dated May 31, 2012, the Appellate Division vacated the Contempt Order on the ground that the Judgment did not contain a "clear and unequivocal mandate." See Storman v NYC Dep't of Educ., 95 AD3d 776, 777, 945 N.Y.S.2d 281 (1st Dept 2012). Nevertheless, the Appellate Division granted Storman leave to clarify the Judgment to allow the Supreme Court the opportunity to clarify its order.
Justice Shirley Werner Kornreich, in a rare display of judicial anger, ruled that "By April 5, 2013, DOE shall do the following, pursuant to Article 21H of the CBA: (1) remove all references to the underlying false accusations from Storman's personnel file; and (2) restore back pay, with interest, that Storman did not receive on account of the underlying false accusations, including any seniority salary adjustments and lost pension benefits. If a dispute arises between the parties before such date, the parties are to promptly contact the Court, and if the parties cannot agree on the proper amount of back pay owed to Storman, Storman is granted leave to move to have such calculation referred to a Special Referee to hear and report. Finally, if DOE fails to comply with this Order in good faith, which, at a minimum, shall include an in-person meet and confer with Storman about back pay, Storman has leave to move for contempt, as DOE can no longer maintain that its mandate is not clear and unequivocal."
When Glenn Storman, a guidance counselor at Public School 212 in Gravesend, Brooklyn, came across an unruly student cursing at a substitute teacher in 2004, he ordered the boy to "zip it" and brandished a rolled-up piece of paper, thinking that would be the last he heard of the encounter.
But five years later, Mr. Storman, 57, is embroiled in a legal dispute over allegations that he committed corporal punishment. A 27-year veteran of the school system, Mr. Storman denies hitting the student and is seeking to erase an unsatisfactory rating that a principal gave him. The Department of Education, however, has defended the rating, arguing that Mr. Storman did indeed touch the student, who was in the fifth grade.
The case shows the difficulties teachers can face in disputing the ratings they receive each year from principals. The ratings can determine whether they are eligible for lucrative teaching opportunities outside of the normal school year. The case also sheds light on the fine lines of interpretation surrounding the question of corporal punishment: Did Mr. Storman's paper brush against the student? If so, was that intentional, and did it rise to the level of corporal punishment?
The Department of Education said last week that it was reviewing the decision and declined to comment further.
In October 2004, Mr. Storman entered a special education classroom at P.S. 212 after hearing a student yelling. When he stepped into the room, he saw the student on his knees on a chair cursing at the teacher. Holding the piece of paper in his hand, Mr. Storman recalled in an interview, he told the student to be quiet. The student moved forward as he reprimanded him, but Mr. Storman said he did not remember coming into contact with him.
Mr. Storman said he would not have hit the student because he had experience with special education students and did not believe force was the best way of resolving disputes.
"I don't need to do anything more than to look at them and say, 'Listen, you know to stop right now,' " he said.
Mr. Storman said he had been carrying the rolled-up paper while walking down the hallway. In previous statements to school officials he said he "may have touched" the student's mouth with the paper, according to the court ruling. He says now that he does not believe that was so.
The boy's father complained to the school's principal, who asked for an inquiry, and in 2005, Mr. Storman, who is still a guidance counselor at P.S. 212, received an unsatisfactory rating in his annual review. He appealed, but the Department of Education stood by its determination that he had committed corporal punishment.
Mr. Storman appealed again in 2006, seeking $100,000 in compensation because, he said, the unsatisfactory rating prevented him from getting work as a summer school teacher and a tutor, work which he estimates had added about $25,000 a year to his income. He has also filed a lawsuit in federal court, which is still pending.
Mr. Storman was given another unsatisfactory rating in 2008 after his principal said he had inappropriately yelled at a student, according to Mr. Storman's lawyer, John. C. Klotz. Mr. Storman is also appealing that rating.
An investigation by the Department of Education's Office of Special Investigations ultimately substantiated the charges of corporal punishment. But in an apparent change of heart, the investigator who wrote that report, Dennis Boyles, testified during the appeal process that he did not believe Mr. Storman's actions rose to the level of corporal punishment, according to the May 11 ruling.
Mr. Boyles testified in 2006 that the encounter constituted "inappropriate physical contact" but not corporal punishment, the court ruling said. Last year, Mr. Boyles reiterated his statement that he did not believe Mr. Storman's actions amounted to corporal punishment, but added that Mr. Storman inappropriately touched the student with the paper, according to the ruling.
Mr. Boyles stated in his report that three students in the classroom at the time of the encounter could not recall seeing the paper hit the student's face. But the fifth grader whom Mr. Storman had reprimanded told the investigator that Mr. Storman had brushed the paper against his lips and embarrassed him, though he added that he had not been physically injured.
The principal of P.S. 212 said at a hearing last year that she had recommended that Mr. Storman be given the unsatisfactory rating because of Mr. Boyles's findings, which she believed substantiated the corporal punishment charges, according to the ruling.
"Nothing in the record supports the D.O.E.'s conclusion that Mr. Storman committed a substantiated act of corporal punishment," she wrote, ordering that the unsatisfactory rating be annulled.
In an effort to overturn a "U" rating for NYC teacher Mitchell Cohn, NYSUT, (New York State United Teachers) Attorneys did not mention the case of Elentuck v Green in the Article 78 petition. The Kings County Supreme Court and 2nd Department Appellate Division ruled that there are no facts in observations, and observations are not binding and nonfinal determinations.
In the case below, NYSUT defended teacher Mitchell Cohn when he asked the court to review the circumstances of his "U" rating.
"the court properly denied access to all three categories of reports as intra-agency materials which are not statistical or factual tabulations or data, instructions to staff that affect the public, or final agency policy or determinations (see, Public Officers Law § 87 (2) (g)). Chancellor's Committee reports consist of findings and recommendations regarding personnel actions to be taken by the Board of Education. The reports are prepared to assist the Chancellor, and are not binding. Similarly, hearing panel reports relating to Education Law § 3020-a consist of findings and recommendations subject to challenge by an appeal to the State Commissioner of Education, are not binding on either the Board of Education or the Commissioner of Education, and do not constitute final agency determinations. Accordingly, the requested Chancellor's Committee reports and hearing panel reports are predecisional material exempt from disclosure under Public Officers Law § 87 (2) (g) (see, Matter of McAulay v Board of Educ., 61 A.D.2d 1048, affd48 N.Y.2d 659; Matter of Herald Co. v School Dist., 104 Misc.2d 1041, 1046-1047).
The lesson observation reports consist solely of advice, criticisms, evaluations, and recommendations prepared by the school assistant principal regarding lesson preparation and classroom performance. As such, these reports fall squarely within the protection of Public Officers Law § 87 (2) (g) (see, Matter of Town of Oyster Bay v Williams, 134 A.D.2d 267, 268)."
"The UFT's reliance on Matter of Elentuck v Green (202 AD2d 425 [2d Dept 1994]), in which the Court held that it was proper to withhold lesson observation reports, is misplaced. The Court there held that lesson observation reports are not statistical or factual data as they consist solely of advice, criticisms, evaluations and recommendations prepared by the school's assistant principal. In the present case, unlike in Elentuck, the determination by the DOE that the TDRs are statistical data has a rational basis. Unlike lesson observation reports, which are individual opinions of a teacher's lesson, the unredacted TDRs are a compilation of data regarding students' performance."
Therefore, NYSUT's effort to defend Cohn only on procedural errors in violation of various rules held within the CBA, etc., and not going to the substance of the "U" ratings as nonfinal, not factual opinions, the court saw no reason to overturn the "U" and give the Petitioner, here Mitchell Cohn, a win.
I am not an attorney and I dont give legal advice, but this omission of Elentuck v Green in the petition makes no sense. I have not read the Memorandum of Law in this case, maybe it is there. But Judge Schlesinger did not bring up Elentuck in her decision.

While petitioner complains that he did not receive pre-observation conferences prior to every classroom observation, he has not demonstrated that the U-rating was made in violation of lawful procedure or anysubstantial right (see Matter of Brown v Board of Educ. of the City School Dist. of the City of N.Y., 89 AD3d 486 (1st Dept 2011); Matter of Munoz v Vega, 303 AD2d 253, 254 (1st Dept 2003); compare Matter of Kolmel v City of New York, 88 AD3d 527 (1st Dept 2011). To the contrary, the record demonstrates that, after petitioner received a U-rating at the end of the prior school year, he was provided with a professional development plan at the start of the 2006-2007 and, throughout the year, received professional support and had a series of classroom observations by the principal and two assistant principals, each one documented by a detailed letter to him noting areas of improvement and making specific recommendations for addressing continuing deficiencies.

A step-by-step discovery of the miracles of nature in the largest conservation area of the Alps: the Hohe Tauern National Park and the mountain range that gave it its name, are an El Dorado of walking and hiking trails for any level of ability. Despite the impressive appearance of the alpine landscape, there are also plenty of more gentle routes. In fact, a hike at a leisurely pace, with plenty of time to take in the views of the surrounding summits, may be one of the best ways to experience the Hohe Tauern mountains.
We set out in the early morning hours. The forecast tells us to expect a beautiful, hot summer's day. For the first leg of our journey, the Grossglockner Cableways take us from the valley further up the mountain. The benefits of this are two-fold: we shave a whole lot of walking off our hiking trip, and once we have reached an altitude of 2000 metres, the summer heat won't be quite as intense. From the Bergstation (mountain cableway station), we start out on the 'Geotrail Tauernfenster' path – leading us through an amazing landscape all the way up to the 'Hochtor'. How wonderful life can be, if you can enjoy it in the mountains!
Aside from the Heiligenblut cableways, it is predominantly the Grossglockner High-Alpine Road that provides convenient and direct access to higher altitudes. In no time at all, the fully paved 'Dream Road of the Alps' takes you to the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Höhe – a popular departure point for some of the most breathtaking hiking adventures the Hohe Tauern have to offer. Special highlights include the Gamsgrubenweg trail, or a tour along the Gletscherweg trail down to the Pasterze Glacier – all while the mighty Grossglockner looks on.
What are your TOP 5 hiking routes in Heiligenblut am Grossglockner?
Enjoy breathtaking views and that exhilarating, high-alpine feeling!
Would you like to gain an in-depth experience of the largest conservation area in the Alps? We highly recommend a guided tour with one of our National Park Rangers. Deeply rooted in this wild and natural environment, they will be able to give you fascinating insights and interesting information about the region's flora and fauna. You may either prefer to hire a ranger for the day, or join an existing National Park Tour of your choice – such as a Wildlife Observation tour, or an excursion on the 'Geotrail Tauernfenster' nature trail.
Whether you join a ranger, hire a guide, or go exploring on your own – in this region you are sure to find the most beautiful hiking routes on the south-side of the Alps.
We look forward to seeing you in Heiligenblut am Grossglockner!

Posse Pops are America's new treat - and they're educational!...
ICE-T has signed up as the national spokesman for POSSE POPS, an American ice cream that promotes safe sex.
The ice cream is the brainchild of Ben and Jerry's alumni Rick Brown. The ice cream's packaging carries educational messages on safe sex and warnings about illegal drugs.
Ice-T's involvement in the campaign comes shortly after Ozzy Osbourne announced that he will be launching a range of condoms as part of the merchandising opportunities arising from his hit family reality TV show The Osbournes.


The Frelinghuysen Arboretum features a variety of displays of plant life which are integrated with thematic elements. You can enjoy ornamental grasses and blooming shrubs during the spring, view some of the best fall foliage and fruit in the region, along with shade trees and the promising plants garden. The main house features a Great Lawn, which hosts outdoor live music during the warmer months of the year. Near the Great Lawn, there's a Braille NAture Trail situated in a small wooded hollow. Even in the winter, the Arboretum is worth a visit after a fresh snowfall to take in the beautiful winter landscapes.
Located in Roxbury Township, Hopatcong State Park is made up of two separate pieces of land: the first consisting of Lake Hopatcong and the land on its southwestern shore, and the second consisting of Lake Musconetcong about one mile away. It also features the ruins of Morris Canal, which was in operation from the 1830s until the 1920s and drew from the lake for its water source. You can learn more about the history of this state park at the Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum, which is open on Sundays during the spring and fall. The museum has been converted from the former home of the resident lock tender and his family.
Ken Lockwood Gorge Wildlife Management Area offers some of the best hiking and nature-watching in all of New Jersey. New Jersey Monthly magazine once called the gorge one of the "Ten Most Beautiful Places in New Jersey." It's a famous destination for bird-watchers, naturalists, kayakers, hikers, fishermen, photographers, and outdoor lovers of all types. During the winter, the gorge and surrounding area transforms into an ice-covered wonderland and features winter wildlife such as Pileated Woodpeckers and red squirrels.
Pyramid Mountain offers 30 miles of trails featuring backdrops of unique glacial erratics at Bear Rock, stunning rock outcrops, extensive wetlands, waterfalls, and multiple scenic overlooks of the surrounding beauty of the area. You can also see the Manhattan Skyline from this nature haven. One of the park's main features is a 160-ton boulder resting on top of three smaller boulders, called Tripod Rock. The trails are marked and simple enough for beginners, but provide enough sightseeing to excite seasoned hikers as well. Enjoying this expanse of beautiful New Jersey nature within view of New York City is a truly surreal experience.

Amazon warehouse workers in NYC vote to unionize, a first for the company
Amazon workers in New York voted to unionize Friday, marking the first successful U.S. organizing effort in the retail giant's history.
Author: Associated Press, Haleluya Hadero, Anne D'Innocenzio

NEW YORK — Amazon workers in Staten Island, New York, voted to unionize on Friday, marking the first successful U.S. organizing effort in the retail giant's history and handing an unexpected win to a nascent group that fueled the union drive.
Warehouse workers cast 2,654 votes in favor of a union, giving the fledgling Amazon Labor Union (ALU) enough support to pull off a victory. According to the National Labor Relations Board, which is overseeing the process, 2,131 workers rejected the union bid.
The 67 ballots that were challenged by either Amazon or the ALU were not enough to sway the outcome. About 57% of the more than 8,300 workers on the voter list cast their ballots.
Federal labor officials said the results of the count won't be verified until they process any objections that both parties may file. Any objections are due by April 8.
"The Labor Movement congratulates the workers in Staten Island for winning the first union at Amazon," MLK Labor Executive Secretary-Treasurer Katie Garrow said in a statement. "This is a historic moment in time and has the power to shape America's future."
The victory was an uphill battle for the independent group, made up of former and current workers who lacked official backing from an established union and were out-gunned by the deep-pocketed retail giant. Despite obstacles, organizers believed their grassroots approach was more relatable to workers and could help them overcome where established unions have failed in the past.

"We're disappointed with the outcome of the election in Staten Island because we believe having a direct relationship with the company is best for our employees," Amazon said in a statement. "We're evaluating our options, including filing objections based on the inappropriate and undue influence by the NLRB that we and others (including the National Retail Federation and U.S. Chamber of Commerce) witnessed in this election."
Tristan Dutchin, who began working for the online retailer about a year ago, is hopeful that the new union will improve working conditions at his workplace.
"I'm excited that we're making history," Dutchin said. "We're about to unionize a multibillion, trillion-dollar company. This will be a fantastic time for workers to be surrounded in a better, safer working environment."
Chris Smalls, a fired Amazon employee who has been leading the ALU in its fight on Staten Island, bounded out the NLRB building in Brooklyn on Friday with other union organizers, pumping their fists and jumping, chanting "ALU." They uncorked a bottle of Champagne.
Meanwhile, Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama, appear to have rejected a union bid but outstanding challenged ballots could change the outcome. The votes were 993-to-875 against the union. A hearing to review 416 challenged ballots is expected to begin in the next few days.
The union campaigns come at a time of widespread labor unrest at many corporations. Workers at more than 140 Starbucks locations around the country, for instance, have requested union elections and several of them have already been successful.
John Logan, director of labor and employment studies at San Francisco State University, said the early vote counts in New York have been "shocking." The nascent Amazon Labor Union, which is leading the charge on Staten Island, has no backing from an established union and is powered by former and current warehouse workers.
"I don't think that many people thought that the Amazon Labor Union had much of a chance of winning at all," Logan said. "And I think we're likely to see more of those (approaches) going forward."
After a crushing defeat last year in Bessemer, when a majority of workers voted against forming a union, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union got a second chance to organize another campaign when the NLRB ordered a do-over after determining that Amazon tainted the first election.
Though RWDSU is currently lagging in the latest election, Logan said the early results were still remarkable because the union has made a good effort narrowing its margin from last year.
Amazon has pushed back hard in the lead-up to both elections. The retail giant held mandatory meetings, where workers were told unions are a bad idea. The company also launched an anti-union website targeting workers and placed English and Spanish posters across the Staten Island facility urging them to reject the union. In Bessemer, Amazon has made some changes to but still kept a controversial U.S. Postal Service mailbox that was key in the NLRB's decision to invalidate last year's vote.
In a filing released on Thursday, Amazon disclosed it spent about $4.2 million last year on labor consultants, which organizers say the retailer routinely solicits to persuade workers not to unionize. It's unclear how much it spent on such services in 2022.
Both labor fights faced unique challenges. Alabama, for instance, is a right-to-work state that prohibits a company and a union from signing a contract that requires workers to pay dues to the union that represents them.
The union landscape in Alabama is also starkly different from New York. Last year, union members accounted for 22.2% of wage and salary workers in New York, ranked only behind Hawaii, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's more than double the national average of 10.3%. In Alabama, it's 5.9%.
The mostly Black workforce at the Amazon facility, which opened in 2020, mirrors the Bessemer population of more than 70% Black residents, according to the latest U.S. Census data.
Pro-union workers say they want better working conditions, longer breaks and higher wages. Regular full-time employees at the Bessemer facility earn at least $15.80 an hour, higher than the estimated $14.55 per hour on average in the city. That figure is based on an analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's annual median household income for Bessemer of $30,284, which could include more than one worker.
The ALU said they don't have a demographic breakdown of the warehouse workers on Staten Island and Amazon declined to provide the information to The Associated Press, citing the union vote. Internal records leaked to The New York Times from 2019 showed more than 60% of the hourly associates at the facility were Black or Latino, while most of the managers were white or Asian.
Amazon workers there are seeking longer breaks, paid time off for injured employees and an hourly wage of $30, up from a minimum of just over $18 per hour offered by the company. The estimated average wage for the borough is $41 per hour, according to a similar U.S. Census Bureau analysis of Staten Island's $85,381 median household income.
Stacy Mitchell is the co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and has written extensively about Amazon's business practices, comparing the company to the old railroad system.
"It is a company that has such tremendous control over the online market that, you know, other businesses that make and sell goods have to essentially ride Amazon's rails, they have to sell on Amazon's platform. Amazon's dominance within the warehouse and logistics sector also means that it has incredible control over workers... ability to set wages and working conditions. Indeed, we have seen Amazon pull down wages and working conditions for people in warehousing and package delivery."
Mitchell said she found the vote in Staten Island, along with the vote in Bessemer, notable because "We see this new in this new energy and worker organizing, and this new anti-monopoly movement, that, you know, Black and brown Americans are really leading that, you know, including at the Staten Island facility, and that this is really, you know, about creating a broad, diverse middle class."
The Staten Island workers will still have to negotiate a contract with Amazon, among other steps, and Mitchell says she expects the company to drag out the discussions. "Amazon will obviously pull out all the stops to fight this. They will try to challenge it in various ways. They're going to try to drag out the contract negotiations which are difficult as it is. On the other hand, you see unions like the Teamsters, saying that they really see this fight with Amazon as central around the future of American labor."
In an interview, Garrow called the vote "A watershed moment for the labor movement."
She disputes Amazon's characterization, particularly in Bessemer, that unionization could lead to suppressed wages based on union dues and other market conditions.
"The statistics show that workers are members of unions earn higher wages than non-unionized workers," she countered. Garrow also says she believes the Staten Island vote will galvanize others in the warehouse labor movement. "It will inspire other workers at Amazon but also large corporations that used to seem untouchable," she said, noting recent votes among Starbucks baristas, and walkouts at Kent Distribution Centers in the past.
A spokesperson for Amazon said the company invests in wages and benefits, such as health care, 401(k) plans and a prepaid college tuition program to help grow workers' careers.
"As a company, we don't think unions are the best answer for our employees," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "Our focus remains on working directly with our team to continue making Amazon a great place to work."

Interview with Sam Wilson, Director of Youth Ministries
Interview with Sam Wilson
Coming Out "Story
When I was in High School, I knew of one guy a year ahead of me, who was "out" and proud. At that time, it was normal for everyone to call things "gay," and for most of us, the prominence and significance of sexual orientations besides straight were complete mysteries. Without Google or extensive social media sources for learning/connecting with others, it was more difficult to get accurate information and was more of a process to "discover" what it meant to be non-heterosexual. When you're in middle school, it's developmentally normal to feel different and to see yourself as abnormal / the only one in the world who feels that way, or thinks like that, etc. Without the internet, people had to rely on books, magazines, clubs, or other people to find out about others who were "just like them." It took intention, effort, time and other resources to actually see that there were others who had been there, done that, and not only survived, but were now flourishing (and fabulous).
As such, I was somewhat lazy about it; I didn't prioritize discovering my "sexuality" or "orientation," so it was really more about figuring it all out and explaining to MYSELF what or who I was first and foremost, as opposed to explaining that to others. It's still a journey that I am on, honestly… I think our gender identities, orientations and affectations are fluid and evolving, as are our notions and understandings of them as a society. We are constantly creating, updating, redefining and reclaiming words related to our identities, so it can be confusing and complicated to figure out how we define ourselves, to ourselves, first…before we even go on to then explain that to others. I've yet to find a single word that completely and forever captures my own nuanced understanding and appreciation of who I am in terms of my gender and sexuality, though I will claim certain words in certain contexts. I am particularly mindful of not shying away from associating with certain words or groups of people because the last thing I want to exude is any sense of shame for being something other than heterosexual. In fact, the easiest box I put myself in is "not straight," but beyond that it's complicated!
When I went on to college in NYC, I was in my school's musical production of Rocky Horror, which was an incredibly liberating experience for me. I was surrounded by people who were mostly gay or bi, and we were all getting to dress up in gender-bending outfits while singing provocative songs to overly-sexualized body movements. It was such a fun way to explore that whole world, and I also discovered glitter spray, which was, well, a true love-at-first-sight moment for me.
Changes In LGBTQ Stuff In Past 5 Years
I think that the most significant difference today versus 5 years ago is that so many more people now know someone who is "out" or who otherwise claims a non-binary gender identity or non-straight orientation. I think that hatred is rooted in fear and ignorance and dehumanization. When more and more people started being open about their sexuality, it became increasingly difficult for bigoted folks to hold onto their stereotypes and Othering. "The gays" aren't actually just some clandestine group of weirdo perverts who hang out in major metropolises, actually; your adorable little niece is a lesbian, and that sweet boy who delivers your newspaper likes other boys, and, who could forget when Mrs. So-and-so, aka the town grandmother whom you've always admired so much, finally came out to the whole town at the rummage sale last spring? Newsflash! They're everywhere, they're people just like you and me, and some of them even have no fashion sense either and will actually not judge every single thing that you're wearing right now (though if you're trying to get into Club Cafe anytime soon, you may want to reconsider those cargo shorts… just sayin').
Other than that, I think that the vocabulary and the language and the words are all expanding and constantly evolving, which actually creates some rifts between older and younger folks in marginalized and activist communities. Your mom may have burned her bra in the 60s and consider herself a hardcore feminist, but it's your teenage daughter who can thoroughly explain what cisgender and genderqueer mean to your conservative aunt when it comes up at Thanksgiving (you know, after a debate about who gets the carving privileges).
Another critical and somewhat more recent development in terms of how we think about social justice, from what I have observed, is the notion of equity versus equality. I think that a lot of us grew up thinking that equality was the goal, and we used to think that the golden principle was good way of framing how to treat others. Now, however, I think that folks are coming to a more evolved understanding of both of these concepts, however. Equality, in my opinion, is a distraction from the reality that we are all actually not the same, have not been treated the same way our whole lives, and have not all had the same levels of privilege and access to resources and power. Equity seeks to lift up groups who have historically been marginalized and systematically oppressed. Equity urges us to listen to voices from diverse and often-unheard sources; it calls us to proclaim that #blacklivesmatter, for example, because black lives are not being treated equally. They have unequal levels of privilege, power and resources in our current society, which have led us to this point where their very lives are constantly at risk. Disproportionate levels of violence and hatred toward them compels an equitable response that counteracts society's claim that they do not matter. Similarly, in a world that pays women 72 cents and men a dollar for the same work, do we give everyone an extra 28 cents? I also prefer the notion of the "platinum rule" to the golden rule that I grew up with, which dictates that you treat everyone how *they* want to be treated. My (straight, masculine) brother, for example, may not mind if someone tells him that he's throwing that ball like a sissy, so doesn't think twice about saying it to me (and wouldn't be breaking the golden rule if he did). But my personal story and background make me more sensitive to comments like that, so I am impacted differently, which matters.
Critical Issues Today
The biggest critical issue today, in my opinion, is the recognition of intersectionality, and appreciation that injustices are rooted in systems of oppression that are all interrelated. When you fight for LGBTQ Justice, you cannot leave out racial justice or economic justice, for example, either; systems of oppression work insidiously against people with multiple marginalized identities, so we need to recognize this in order to properly dismantle them. All of our liberations are tied up with one another; we are all working to resist hate and embrace human dignity and love.
Similarly, I think activists need to be especially mindful of the inclination to be pitted against other marginalized groups, whether as a battle for resources or ideologies or whatever. Right now, for example, we need to hold the LGBTQ community in our hearts but actively resist societal pressures to inflate Islamophobia. We cannot appreciate and accept the comfort of a hug from mainstream society if, while doing so, it stabs our brothers and sisters behind our backs. As a marginalized community, we need to express solidarity with other groups who have been historically oppressed and vilified in this country, which means recognizing the rights and dignity of our Muslim siblings and neighbors too. It is especially imperative that liberal faith groups show their support here too; conservative Christian rhetoric that is filled with hatred has poisoned America's sense of religiousness. Interfaith alliances that promote justice and peace are critical in reclaiming and restoring spirituality and faith in our 21st Century USA.
Similarly, we need to recognize that the tragedy in Orlando happened on "Latin Night," with promotional materials featuring trans women of color, and victims who were overwhelmingly people of color. The continued and horrifying violence toward trans people, people of color, and especially trans people of color, needs to be named. We need to recognize that this is an enormous problem, and then take similarly enormous steps against it.
Why Working With Youth Is Important
I think that youth are generally more willing to learn, be taught new things, and overall have a greater sense of curiosity about the world and how it works. I also think that youth have a delightful innocence and sense of hope (as opposed to older folks who have become disillusioned), which invigorates them and allows them to take more risks. I also think that youth today have access to so much information, and can much more easily build connections with folks who would have been geographically inaccessible in the past. They are better able to use social media and other innovations to quickly respond to things and also build bigger and better responses. Many folks think of youth as our future, but I would argue that they are also our present. Their skill sets may be a bit different, and some of them may waste time on the detrimental aspects of our screen-focused society, but they can be quite powerful, knowledgeable, and hardworking, and, as I mentioned before, are often more adept at understanding our increasingly complex notions of gender and sexuality. One of the best parts of my job is getting to act as both a teacher and a student; listening and learning from young people is a gift that more people need to open themselves up to.
Younger generations are also increasingly moving away from religion and faith, as exemplified by a dramatic rise in the so-called "nones," i.e. folks with no religious affiliation or system of beliefs. I believe this is a response to the harm that has occurred in the historical ties between religions and politics, wherein strict religious dogmas have isolated and oppressed groups of people. In my work, I see this as an opportunity to attract these people to more liberal religious faiths, like Unitarian Universalism, which allows people to develop – and continue to develop – their own sense of spirituality and meaning. I also think that UUism and other faiths have an opportunity here, too, to expand their definitions of membership, worship, etc. and open up their doors, ideas, and resources to folks who may or may not wholly identify with their religion or feel comfortable being at an actual "church." I think that faith and spirituality have the power to unify, help, and join individuals on the greater path to love, but our nation's history of religious intolerance has inculcated younger generations with disillusionment about its value.
Best Part of Working With LGBTQ Youth?
Overall, it's wonderful to be and do whatever I can to fill in any gaps in what LGBTQ youth are otherwise not getting from their home, school, community, etc. I will elaborate on what I see those as here in the next question. There is value in youth having mentors, leaders, and teachers who are "like them" and who can listen, support, and guide them in various ways that people without similar experiences simply cannot do. I love getting to do what I do for all of the youth that I work with, but it is especially satisfying to be able to provide something for LGBTQ youth who all too often do not have helpful adult role models or leaders to go to when they need them. It is nice to be able to provide for them something that I did not necessarily feel like I had when I was growing up, and which so many young folks from marginalized communities often have difficulty accessing. Sharing my own stories, struggles, losses, wins, and experiences that I have learned and grown from are all powerful ways in which I can develop nurturing relationships with these teens, and give them the kind of empathetic response and shoulder to cry on that they may need in that moment. I am grateful that I have many experiences, even the bad ones, to share with them if it's helpful. It's hard to hear their own stories and struggles, and sometimes difficult to recall my own, but it can be a powerful and healing experience for both of us when we see that we are not alone.
It's also just fun to have an excuse to always go to things like Pride, and a group to march in Pride with! Working with LGBTQ gives me a reason to more adamantly stay connected to community leaders who work for those issues, and it also forces me to stay more up to date on my own knowledge of issues that affect the community. Also, not gonna lie, it definitely helps me to stay up-to-speed on my own vocab in this world, and helps me pretend like I'm doing something work-related or otherwise useful when I'm car-dancing to the latest trashy pop song or staying up late watching reruns of Glee.
What Support Do We Need for Youth in Winchester?
First and foremost, I think that Winchester public schools need to have much more comprehensive and inclusive sex education that recognizes and validates non-heterosexual relationships and sexuality. I think that there are remnants of Puritanical culture that pervade New England society in a lot of stifling and hurtful ways, and people need to better at opening up their minds and expanding their limited concepts of what is appropriate. I think that youth and children need to have more out and open adult role models in their classrooms, and more teachers who are actively working as allies for LGBTQ-identified youth, who do not tolerate hateful language in their classrooms and also work to deepen all students' understanding and compassion in these issues. It's become quite clear to me that WHS has a long way to go in terms of this issue, and in fact, I've observed that it also has a long way to go in terms of dismantling sexism as well, and taking more concrete steps toward making its hallways safer for girls, let alone non-binary students and any students who do not fit traditional roles of masculinity and femininity. This means not just penalizing the perpetrators, but also lifting up the gifts and talents of these people, and instilling pride in kids who are different by intentionally creating spaces to highlight them. I think that its important when we talk about LGBTQ issues and heterosexism, to not just focus on the ways in which these people are oppressed and victimized, but to also focus on the strengths and attributes that gays and lesbians can and do bring to the table. There are an innumerable number of gifts and talents that queer people have brought to this world, and we need to remember and reiterate this just as strongly as we need to continue admonishing those who put them down.
Who Inspires Me?
Youth who call out their friends and stand up for others that are being made fun of, even if it means losing those friendships or getting made fun of themselves. And doing so even if someone from that group that's being made fun of is not in the room.
Straight, masculine young guys who aren't afraid of doing something that is otherwise perceived as feminine or gay, because they don't discriminate against gay people and don't see it as a bad thing. These young guys inspire me and give me hope for our future. Plus it's hilarious when you get that super straight dude to try and do something like wear heels, for example, and then have him epically fail and suddenly gain a greater appreciation for women and drag queens who can not only walk but can WORK those heels on stage when they need to.
I am also really inspired by an increasingly large number of young adult leaders in Unitarian Universalism, who are younger than me and already doing so many amazing things with their lives. They remind me to continue working hard and doing my best to keep affecting change in this world; it is hard work sometimes, but boldness and effort together truly can make a difference in the outcome of our world.
Fun/Quirky Facts
I was born in England (but moved here when I was 3), so have dual US/EU citizenship (which I think has helped in my own thinking of myself as a citizen of our world!)
I love to travel and worked for a tour operating company for a few years that offered more tours than any other US operator, then went onto found and run my own travel company for a few years, Create It Travel. I specialized in creating unique and memorable experiences and customized packages for people with different needs and desires (like LGBTQ travelers, for example). My favorite part of that work was getting to do a trip for a young girl through the Make a Wish Foundation, who wanted to go skiing somewhere in July! Their pictures and letters of thanks (from Zermatt, Switzerland) afterward were incredibly touching.
I LOVE to travel, I've traveled to 31 different countries, and through the Tour Co. I used to work for I had the unique experience of going on a safari in Botswana, which also included some time in Zambia (and 20 min. Where we were technically in Zimbabwe!) We stayed in tents that were otherwise completely out in the open, and I'll never forget coming out of my tent one morning to see elephant tracks everywhere. Apparently a herd had quietly, and carefully, trekked through our camp the night before, without waking (or trampling!) any of us (and this is not uncommon, we were told). It was also pretty fun to eat gazelle-flavored potato chips.
I have a horrible fear of sharks, so when I went to Cape Town, South Africa, with my Dad and Grandpa (for the latter's choice of final international trip with us before he got rid of his passport), I decided to go Shark Cage Diving in an attempt to face and thus erase my fear! I'm not sure it completely worked, they still scare me silly, but there was something pretty powerful about getting into a tank that is then rammed into by a living and breathing creature that completely terrifies you (the way it works is that they throw out buckets of chum to attract the great whites, then reel fish carcasses literally right back into the cage so that the massive sharks do, indeed, ram right into the cage where you are!)

Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Travel Order…Again (Update)
Posted by Kemberlee Kaye	Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 3:14pm | 10/17/2017 - 3:14pm
Hawaii federal judge is again attempting to usurp executive power
Hawaii has it out for Trump's attempt to curb oft-exploited visas to the U.S. issued in well-established state sponsors of terror.
For the third time, a federal judge in Hawaii has approved a request for a temporary restraining order, putting Trump's latest travel executive order on hold.
BREAKING: US judge in Hawaii blocks latest version of Trump administration's travel ban hours before it was set to take effect.
— The Associated Press (@AP) October 17, 2017
Trump's third travel order was scheduled to take effect at midnight, Tuesday night. The latest TRO was requested by the State of Hawaii, a muslim cleric (go figure), two anonymous parties, and the Muslim Association of Hawaii.
Unlike the last two orders, the TRP on this third attempt is far less likely to be upheld during the appeal process. From the WaPo:
Legal analysts have said those challenging the latest travel ban face an uphill battle. The measure was only put into effect after an extensive process in which the U.S. negotiated with other countries for information, and the list of countries affected now includes two countries that are not Muslim-majority: Venezuela and North Korea.
We've covered the travel order issue extensively through the course of this year. For our posts on the travel order/executive power fight, see here.

Trump Third Travel Order Temporary Restraining Order Opinion by Legal Insurrection on Scribd
UPDATE by WAJ 7:45 p.m.: Thanks to Kemberlee for the quick cover on this, as I've been unavailable all day. I can't say I'm surprised by the result, considering that the Judge involved here already has ruled against Trump. The problem in this decision, as it was in prior decisions by this and other lower courts, is that the Judge is substituting his evaluation of risk for that of the executive branch.

Trump/Sessions need to have an emergency order from SCOTUS to bar this judicial overreach and disbar the court that approved this travesty – separation of powers doncha know
Bucky Barkingham | October 17, 2017 at 3:36 pm
Hasn't Sessions recused himself from all responsibility to support Trump?
Rick the Curmudgeon | October 17, 2017 at 11:53 pm
Sessions is too busy promoting asset seizure and chasing down the last dope smoker.
we are in the cusp of a civil war – the leftists will reap what they have sown……..
fscarn | October 17, 2017 at 3:36 pm
To borrow from Reagan, "There you go again."
Obviously this judge has a personal animus. He knows he's gonna get shot down again, but doesn't care.
alaskabob | October 17, 2017 at 4:04 pm
He could have drawn support from what Chief Justice Roberts did with ObamaCare. It is a popularity contest. Or… some Presidents are less equal than others.
Anchovy | October 17, 2017 at 5:21 pm
Well, i'm not all that up to date on anatomy, but i don't think it's spelled "animus".

I think there's an "im" in there that shouldn't be. 😉

"What, I took an oath to support the Constitution and federal laws? Get outta here!"
But until he gets shot down again, his ruling stands.
RobM | October 17, 2017 at 3:43 pm
They should have listened to Barney Fife. " You've got to nip it! Nip it in the bud!" They didn't. The upside? Judicial overreach so blatant and nakedly partisan there will be push-back. It is clear there are some Federal Judges that are blatant, lefty, hacks.
Exiliado | October 17, 2017 at 3:44 pm
They are pushing this way beyond frustratingly ridiculous.
It needs to stop. NOW.
Whitewall | October 17, 2017 at 3:47 pm
This is judicial insurrection. Break up the 9th Circuit.
Observer | October 17, 2017 at 3:48 pm
If these judges are so damn hot to be president and make federal immigration policies themselves, they need to quit their jobs as federal district court judges and run. But until they actually succeed in winning the presidency, they need to knock off this crap of pretending that they are entitled to substitute their own judgment for the judgment of a president that they and their lefty buddies think is icky.
Olinser | October 17, 2017 at 3:51 pm
Called it. There is literally NO TEXT Trump could possibly produce that would not be struck down by a progressive piece of shit in a robe.
Seriously. At what point should judges be removed for blatantly ignoring what actual law says.
snopercod | October 17, 2017 at 7:07 pm
We've passed the point when that rogue judge should be removed, but that would require a congress with gumption.

regulus arcturus | October 17, 2017 at 4:25 pm
Could someone extremely well versed in appellate procedure explain how this is possible?
Please also explain why the SC is standing idly by allowing this behavior to continue.
Milhouse | October 18, 2017 at 12:48 am
Why would it not be possible? The president has issued an order, the plaintiffs believe it to be illegal, so they applied to a federal district court for an injunction pending a hearing on the matter. What could be more normal?
The case over the previous order became moot when the order expired, so it was never decided on.
Sorry, my response got attached to your other comment below.
inspectorudy | October 17, 2017 at 5:03 pm
Roberts has to step in here and stop this crap! The SCOTUS is the only entity that can put a stop to this nonsense. Next, some low-level judge will decide that some other policy is now his domain and declare it unconstitutional. There is a law about executive power and for some reason, none of the lower courts seem to have read it.
What law would that be?
You had no objection when a district judge in Texas enjoined DAPA, did you?
Because the order was based on previous orders, where the SC already ruled what was allowable and what was not.
You are treating this as if there was an entirely new case here. It is not.
This is the same case, and in fact the exact same judge who issued the prior injunction, I believe.
That can't procedurally be kosher, otherwise judges could just roadblock any issue they see fit, even issues out of their jurisdiction, such as immigration.
Now, what needs to happen is for the SC to step in and settle the issue, including sanctioning this judge and likely the 9th Circus when they uphold his illegal move, otherwise this obstruction will continue ad infinitum.
There is no judicial supremacy in the US. These judges believe otherwise.
Milhouse | October 19, 2017 at 4:13 am
The SC hadn't ruled. It had merely granted a temporary stay pending arguments. Once the original order became moot all of that went away, and we're back where we were when the original order came out. The district court enjoins, the circuit upholds, the SC stays, and arguments are scheduled, presumably quicker than last time because most of the lawyers' prep has been done.
And this is in the jurisdiction of every federal judge, just as DAPA was, which is how that district judge in Texas got to enjoin it. Unless you protested that, you have no right to object this time.
regulus arcturus | October 19, 2017 at 12:19 pm
The SC did rule per curiam that the majority of the ban was constitutional. That content is contained within this 3d iteration of the EO. They have not ruled on the full merits of the case, and must do so to put a stop to this obstructionism.
No, federal immigration and national security is not the jurisdiction of any federal judge. Statute clearly defines presidential authority in this area.
Challenge that statute, otherwise shut up (to the judges/litigants, not you Milhouse).
David French agrees with me:
Let's deal with the worst first: Judge Derrick Watson's ruling in Honolulu.
Simply put, it's 40 pages of judicial defiance. To understand the extent of Judge Watson's malfeasance, one has to linger over the actual words of the governing statute:
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
How does one get from there — a statute empowering the president to "suspend the entry" of "any class of aliens" when he (not the court) finds their entry would be "detrimental to the interests of the United States" — to a ruling stopping him from exercising exactly that power? When the judge decides it's entirely up to him to evaluate the president's reasoning according to the judge's perception of American interests.
Judge Watson then proceeded to ignore and contradict the previous SC per curiam directive –
Once he decided that he disliked Trump's new executive order as much as he disliked EO-1 and EO-2, Judge Watson acted like the Supreme Court didn't exist. He went ahead and enjoined the travel ban not just for those who have — in the Supreme Court's words — "bona fide relationships with a person or entity in the United States," but rather extended his injunction to protect nationals of every majority-Muslim country on the list, regardless of their connection to the United States.

Matt_SE | October 17, 2017 at 6:09 pm
You want to bring this to a head, really quickly?
Have Trump IGNORE the ruling, declaring it unlawful and biased. That will smoke out all the criminals who support this behavior.
Wouldn't it also give the leftists the grounds for impeachment they so desperately want?
Sure, but they wouldn't have the numbers.
And it's about time a president put his foot down on ultra vires judges. This is the perfect issue to do it over, because it's an area where the Supreme Court has said Congress has plenary power. Plenary means plenary, which as I read it means even if this were explicitly a ban on Moslems, motivated by explicit animus against Islam, it would still be lawful.
If I were Trump I'd have responded to the first injunction against the first order by writing a letter to Roberts, informing him as a courtesy that one of the judges under his supervision has exceeded his authority, and that my administration intends to treat this purported injunction with the contempt it deserves.
Rick the Curmudgeon | October 18, 2017 at 10:06 am
Wouldn't Trump's defying the court be exactly the impeachable offense the left so desperately wants?
Asked and answered. Why are you asking again?
Mannie | October 19, 2017 at 9:38 am
They don't need an issue. They can impeach him for his hair-do. All they need is the numbers.
Looking forward to reading the epic smackdown coming from the Supreme Court.
Judge is clearly a loon. He keeps referring to the 9th Circuit opinion as if it wasn't immediately stayed by SCOTUS.
Mac45 | October 17, 2017 at 6:39 pm
Surprise1 Surprise! Surprise!
As was foretold, a lower federal court has again overstepped its boundaries. Now, this case uses the same arguments against EO3, that were used against EO1 & EO2. We all saw this coming.
The first thing that the Administration should do is to ignore this TRO, on the grounds that the lower court has no jurisdiction in the matter. It should direct the State of Hawaii, et al, to file for an injunction with the court of original jurisdiction for all disputes between a state and the federal government, the SCOTUS. If the SCOTUS chooses to issue a TRO, then a full hearing can be scheduled on the matter by the beginning of the year. Put the SCOTUS on the spot. A hearing on these same arguments, with regard to the power of the President in the area of immigration, was already scheduled fo a hearing, before the SCOTUS, this month. It should have been held anyway, as long as any EO regarding immigration restrictions existed. There is absolutely NO reason for this nation to have to wait another 4 months to get this situation clarified.
Once smacked down, is there any recourse to remove this "judge" from the bench? Should be a "three strikes and out" clause somewhere.
It should have been held anyway, as long as any EO regarding immigration restrictions existed.
It couldn't be, because there was no case. Courts have no authority to do anything without an active case before them.
Mac45 | October 18, 2017 at 10:58 am
This is not accurate. When Roe was no longer pregnant, and Roe v Wade had not yet been heard by the SCOTUS, the Court deemed the issue important enough and the likelihood of future challenges sufficient to warrant hearing the case even though it was technically moot, at that point. This case is no different. The only reason that the SCOTUS did not deal with the previous case, was that they did not want to get involved. Even their initial review of the original TROs were "compromises".
The exception the court claimed in Roe was that if the strict rule of mootness were to be applied then no case regarding a pregnancy could ever get through the appellate process.
But when, as here, pregnancy is a significant fact in the litigation, the normal 266-day human gestation period is so short that the pregnancy will come to term before the usual appellate process is complete. If that termination makes a case moot, pregnancy litigation seldom will survive much beyond the trial stage, and appellate review will be effectively denied. Our law should not be that rigid. Pregnancy often comes more than once to the same woman, and in the general population, if man is to survive, it will always be with us. Pregnancy provides a classic justification for a conclusion of nonmootness. It truly could be "capable of repetition, yet evading review.
That is manifestly not the case here. The current order has no expiry date, and there's no reason to suppose it won't be current long enough for an appeal to be heard. Thus the normal rule applies, and the court had no constitutional authority to hear the case.
Than you for making my point for me. In Roe, once Roe was no longer pregnant, the Texas ban on abortion no long applied to her. The case was moot. This was exactly the same argument that the SCOTUS used in the cases surrounding EO1 and EO2. They no longer applied. However, just as with Roe v Wade, Trump, by stating that he would impose another, permanent EO covering the same points as EO1 and EO2, made it clear that this would be an ongoing situation. Yet, rather than simply wait for the legal challenges to start and lump everything together, keeping to the same schedule already existing, they declared the issue, as addressed with reference to EO1 and EO2 to be moot. What this means is that all the legal opinions presented during those cases disappears. And everything is reset to point zero. In Roe, it was likely that a future challenges would be raised with regard to abortion law, most likely in Texas, and there is no reason why the SCOTUS could not have heard that future case within a few days of filing.
Now, as to the SCOTUS hearing an appeal. This is ridiculous. As a state is one of the parties to this suit, as well as to the previous one, and it concerns a dispute between a state and the federal government, the SCOTUS should hear the case directly, as it is the court of original jurisdiction. Technically, all actions should should be brought before the SCOTUS and any orders should all originate there. The lower courts have no authority to handle this case, under the Constitution.

derf | October 17, 2017 at 8:37 pm
Wait. Didn't the USSC just dismiss the prior case because it was now moot (the case was with respect to the temporary ban, not the permanent ban). But instead of just dismissing it as moot, it issued an opinion (8-1) saying that the lower courts were wrong and had wrongly decided the case.
Why are we here again??
No, it didn't. It vacated the 4th circuit opinion, not because it was wrong, but because the case was moot. Sotomayor would have left it standing as precedent.
georgfelis | October 18, 2017 at 9:21 am
And yet, didn't this slapdown try to use the vacated opinions as precedent anyway?
kjon | October 17, 2017 at 9:12 pm
DHS needs to stay on it's current path until it has time to review the order. That should take several months until the Supreme's can again rule.

On orders out of Kalorama, of course. Must have happened during one of those two daily conference calls intended to thwart President Donald J Trump's attempt to enforce the Constitution.
Reminder: Al Smith, after his 1928 election loss to Herbert Hoover moved in a few doors down from the New York State Legislature in Albany figuring he could still run New York State in his spare time through FDR whom Smith considered a political lightweight.
Whatever ex president, in American history has attempted to directly confront his successor in such a manner
ss396 | October 18, 2017 at 9:10 am
Managing immigration by nation – what an extraordinary concept! Oh, wait a minute…that's what we've been doing for the past 90 years. It was all good then; but now that Trump is President, we need to upend everything he does regardless of what went before.
From the Collected Sayings of the Left: "That was then; this is now."


One of the players South Dakota was relying heavily on this season will not be suiting up for the Coyotes.
Forward Tyler Hagedorn will miss the entire 2018-19 season as he continues to recover from a high-grade medial plantar fascia tear he sustained during the off-season.
The Norfolk, Nebraska native is planning to return and play out his senior year during the 2019-2020 season.
Hagedorn was a second-team all-Summit League selection last season, averaging 13 points and six rebounds per game. He also ranked fourth in the league with 28 blocked shots.
In his USD career, he's made 35 starts and played in 86 games, scoring 646 career points and pulling down 319 career rebounds.
Last season, his best in a Coyote uniform, Hagedorn led South Dakota in scoring nine times and in rebounding 14 times.
USD has four games remaining in the non-conference schedule, beginning with a home game Wednesday (December 12) against Bellevue.
The Coyotes tipoff Summit League play December 28 at North Dakota State.

This year I decided to make my own advent calendar for the kids. I have been inspired by all the amazing ones around on Pinterest and thought I would have a go at one myself.
I wanted to keep it fairly simple to make but I also wanted them to each have a little package of their own to open each day. I opted to use these sweet bags which I already had and simply filled each one with a small treat or some sweets. I then stuck numbers on the corner of each bag and punched holes in the tops so I could thread them on to some twine. I quite like how it worked out, with the checked pattern of boy and girl bags. Elizabeth was especially excited when she saw it, I cant wait until they start opening them each morning to see what they have inside!
It looks great. Well done you made one each! My boys have to take it in turns ;-). I love Advent calendars, I have one of my own to open this year, made by a friend, and I'm so excited!!
It's fantastic, they will no doubt love it. The idea of having a separate pocket for each child is particularly inspired. There's quite a bit of manoevring here to try and get to open the window each day!
I love it and I am sure they will too. I'm thinking about making one to start using next year, I've always just bought a cardboard one with chocolates inside.
Brilliant! I'd love that myself!
This is really lovely Caroline! I love all the goodies that are inside too!
