Walt Disney said a man should never neglect his family for business. Over the last quarter of a century, Brent Gibson, of Brent Gibson Classic Home Design, has neglected neither, actually combining the two.
This year, Gibson will mark his 25th year in business in Edmond, along with his 60th birthday. He recently took some time to discuss his success in running the family enterprise.
Gibson got his start in home design in Weatherford, Okla., some 35 years ago, after graduating from Southwestern Oklahoma State University.
Economic conditions and the housing boom in Edmond of the early 1990s lured him to town. On the advice of a home builder friend, Gibson started his own business here.
Since then, he has designed homes for the likes of singer Toby Keith, Oklahoma State University head football coach Mike Gundy and Edmond's own professional golfer, Bob Tway.

Terry Wise's book is aptly named Waking Up, as trauma in childhood or in adulthood puts us into another state of mind from which we have to awaken, or we are lost to its ill effects. Her book is a moving recounting of the dance that must occur between parts of us, or between we as the broken, and the counselor as the healer. She takes us on that journey honestly and bravely. We celebrate with her when she reaches for the help she so desperately needed. Now her book can help others reach for help, too.

The Brisbane Lions is an Australian rules football club that plays in the Australian Football League (AFL). Based in Brisbane, Queensland, the club was formed in 1996 from the merger of the Fitzroy Lions and the Brisbane Bears and play at The Gabba. I was so lucky to be invited by the sweetest (talker) Rotarian in the Pine Rivers Club, Two Scoops who just so happens to be a former Fitzroy AFL player!
Just to give you a quick summary of how the game is played. Both teams have eighteen players on the field of an Australian football ground or modified cricket field. The game's objective is to move the ball that looks like a smaller version of an American football through the team's own goal. A goal is worth six points if the ball is kicked between the two tall goal posts. If the the ball is kicked between two outer goal posts, a score of one point is awarded. I view AFL as a combination of nearly every sport except maybe swimming. The players kick, bounce, or run among other things to score. The only thing not allowed is throw and there are no offsides. Since AFL is a contact sport, players can tackle using hands or entire body.
Two Scoops told me that an AFL can change at any moment during the game and his words were manifested at tonight's game. The Brisbane Lions were playing against the Geelong Cats from Victoria who are one of the best teams in the league. Most spectators were expecting the Lions to lose especially when we were down by 52 points at the half. In the fourth quarter, something changed on the field and the Brisbane Lions came out roaring and scored 57 points to win by five points in the final seconds! It was the eighth-bigest comeback in VFL/AFL history! NO ONE anticipated a comeback of epic proportions that we would fully experience with our two eyes or four for some of us. The crowd was going mad standing and cheering so loudly! The best was that Ashley McGrath scored the winning goal in his 200th career game. I'll never forget this match for the rest of my life. I walked into The Gabba truly looking forward to spending time with Two Scoops and his family. He taught me several of the rules and made sure to give me as much insight as possible. Little did he know that we'd watch one of the best matches AFL has ever seen. Go Lions! Thank you Two Scoops! You've made a fan out of this lady.

Q: Defining ABI version Android Studio when using SDK two weeks ago I uploaded a new version of my Android app to the Developer Console to run an Alpha Test. However I was not able to download this test version on my test device, since the Play Store offered no such update to my test user.
After I was not able to solve this issue here I contacted the Google Developer Support directly.
I now received the following reply:

I've looked into your issue and found that your app's Version 15 is not compatible with the Nexus 5 due to a conflict in your app's manifest with the following native platforms: armeabi, armeabi-v7a.
For more information about platforms, visit our developer site at https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis.html

This is quite confusing. As far as I understand the information on the linked page, the ABI setting is only available/relevant when working with the NDK. However I am working with the latest SDK version in Android Studio 2.1
Is it even possible to set/define the ABI version when working with the SDK?
The App Manifest does not include any settings related the the ABI version.
When I copy the APK manually to my device (Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.4) and install it, it runs without any problem. So, is the APK really not compatible with my device?
EDIT:
Inspired by the the comment by user1056837 I found this page, that describes how to add an NDK block to the build.gradle file:
android {
    ...

    ndk {
        // All configurations that can be changed in android.ndk.
        ...
    }

    productFlavors {
        create("arm") {
            ndk {
                // You can customize the NDK configurations for each
                // productFlavors and buildTypes.
                abiFilters.add("armeabi-v7a")
            }
        }

        create("fat") {
            // If ndk.abiFilters is not configured, the application
            // compile and package all suppported ABI.
        }
    }
}

Currently my build.gradle file does NOT include any NDK configuration. I am not sure, how I could solve the problem with the Play Store by adding such config.
As far as I understand the information on the linked page, a fat binary will be created of no abiFilters are configured. Is that correct?
Then one of the following should be correct:

*

*My project does contain some native code without my knowledge. In this case a fat binary is created since my build.gradle file does NOT include any NDK configuration.

*My project does not contain any hidden native code. In this case the NDK config would not have any effect at all.

Did I miss something here? No matter which case is correct, in both scenarios I do not know what config would solve the problem...

A: Maybe it is to late, but nevertheless:
I had the same problem. It was in third-party libraries. When my application started to build, the library bitcoinj created a native script in the /lib/x86_64/darwin/libscrypt.dylib folder. I just excluded this folder in the build.gradle file.
packagingOptions {
    exclude 'lib/x86_64/darwin/libscrypt.dylib'
}

After that all started work fine. My app support 5900 devices now.

Information security systems are ways of protecting and defending information from any unauthorized disruption, access, modification, inspection, destruction, use or recording. This general term is used mindless of the form that data may use or take. Computer usage is in a variety of forms ranging from home used computers, standalone computers and those that are used in big enterprises. Berg, Seymour & Goel (2013) observes that the major enterprises have employed highly qualified information technology specialist due to the value and nature of data that is contained in such big enterprises. They are responsible for keeping data of the company from any possible malicious cyber-attacks that will attempt to breach into vital private information to gain control of the internal information systems of an organization (Berg, Seymour & Goel, 2013).
Rapid technological advances have rendered information security systems to jeopardy simply because of the new vulnerabilities that render the existing security systems obsolete. Therefore, this has made many organizations to install up to date software to keep their systems updated. On the other hand, there are externalities that usually occur in an organization; externalities may be positive or negative. Many organizations have internalized these externalities and interacting partners to their system by protecting them from vulnerable information security behaviors. Craig (2008) notes that as technology progresses, new vulnerabilities and threats arise, organization has employed a continuous evaluation of their security systems of organizational methods, services, products and technology to maintain their information systems effectively. Continuous evaluation mechanisms in an organization are critical in achieving information security objectives (Craig, 2008).
According to Jansen & Reih (2010), organization that relies on using data for their day-to-day operations should put in place administrative controls on their information through written standards, procedures, policies, and guidelines. Administrative controls are critical because they inform people on how to run their businesses and to establish a certain framework that need to be followed in accessing certain information. Many organization have put in place the use of visas and MasterCard to identify whom the person is, there are additional security systems that have put in places such as password policy, corporate security policy, disciplinary policy and the hiring policies (Jansen & Reih, 2010).
Logical controls are in place to control unauthorized access of information from unknown persons. Information security experts have come with the way of putting in place host-based and network firewalls, passwords, access control lists, network intrusion detection systems and data encryption to protect their information against any malicious attacks (Huerta, 2011). Organization though are not secure with this system of logical control such that it will happen that an individual have been transferred to a certain organization or department, the organization must have to change the access controls of an individual for protection (Berg, Seymour & Goel, 2013).
The evolution of the internet has shaped up the information security systems environment to a better level. The immediate next version of the internet protocol, the IPv6 has many provisions and features such as the key passing, data encryption, and digital signatures. This version is universal but its development is taking a low pace, but it has been leaked to various university websites and prospects are expected (Flick, 2009).
As it has been noted early by Flick (2009), the emergence of various innovations such as the cryptographic method analysis and the elliptical methods affects the time required to break or generate breaking codes. Therefore, technology has aided the protection of data from being corrupted by unknown and malicious individuals. Many software have been designed to enable many people or organizations to retrieve the information that have been lost. Organization can also use some hardware that has been designed to store information such as the DVDs, CDs, memory cards and flash disks. The cost of data storage has been reduced thus enabling many entities to ensure security of their information. Huerta (2011) added that protection tools have become better, the internet has become secured, and the introduction of internet crowding has helped many enterprises to keep their encrypted information for backup services (Huerta, 2011).
Information security systems are supposed to protect information of an organization throughout the life span of the information; it should start with the creation of the information on through to the disposal of the information. In the lifetime of information, it may pass through many different stages of information processing system, and this will subject information into different ways of threats. In order to protect information, every component of information systems should have its way of protection mechanisms. The strength of any information system is not greater than its weakness, organizations, therefore, should not rely on current and superior security systems but instead they should keep on updating those systems (Kadel, 2004).
Access to information has been enhanced, and it has restricted people who are not authorized to access that information. The computers that are used by many people to access information have been authorized and protected from any vulnerabilities. Many mechanisms are put in place to protect information loss or any cyber-attack from malicious individuals. Data encryption, use passwords, and firewalls have been considered as advent opportunities that are being used by different organizations to protect their data. Information security systems have been frequently updated to cope with current vulnerabilities that may be considered as threat to information.

Q: Removing an specific item from an array in React i have this code https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-wc2ons?file=src%2FSection.js
I have sections, and i can add items to those sections. How can i delete some item? I tried
const removeItem = (i) => {
    setSections((section) => {
      const itemTarget = section.items[i];
      const filtered = section.items.filter((item) => item !== itemTarget);
      return {
        ...section,
        items: filtered,
      };
    });
  };

But for some reason it doesn't work

A: The removeItem callback prop you pass into the Section component is the way to go and you should get rid of passing setSections down to it as well.
removeItem={(i) => removeItem(index, i)}

Child components shouldn't do parent's work so you had it right at first, I'm going to help you implement that since I can already see the removeItem handler being there in the App component.
removeItem has already all the info you need, I'm going to rename the arguments so it's more clear.
const removeItem = (sectionIndex, index) => {
  const newSections = sections.slice();
  const newItems = newSections[sectionIndex].items.slice();

  newItems.splice(index, 1);
  newSections[sectionIndex].items = newItems;

  setSections(newSections);
};

Then get rid of removeItem implementation in the Section component and destructure it from the props.

A: You are using setSections, but you return a single section instead of an array of sections. You probably need something like this:
// using the `section` variable from the upper scope
const removeItem = (i) => {
    setSections((sections) => {
      const itemTarget = section.items[i];
      const filtered = section.items.filter((item) => item !== itemTarget);
      const newSections = [...sections];
      newSections[section.id] = {
        ...section,
        items: filtered,
      };
      return newSections;
    });
  };

A few tips (you don't have to follow them): TypeScript can prevent such mistakes and give useful error messages. Immer.js can make writing such code simpler.

A: Your problem is that section is an array. So you are currently accessing the undefined property items on it. You would have to change your function to something like this
  const removeItem = (i) => {
    setSections((section) /* aqui vc tinha chamado de prev*/ => {
      const itemTarget = section[i].items[j];
      const filtered = section[i].items.filter((item) => item !== itemTarget);
      return [...section, {
        ...section[i],
        items: filtered,
      }]
    });
  };

where i is the section in question and j is the item you want to delete.

A: here is a crude solution to your problem (i noticed other bugs in the code but this solves your issue with removing items at least), but i would separate the sections and items into separate components that in turn has its own states.
There you can add/remove items withing its parent section much more easily.
Now we have to work around this by looking for which section the code wants to remove the current item in.

Hartford residents deal with rash of wheel rim thefts
Posted 6:36 PM, April 3, 2019, by Dave Puglisi
HARTFORD -- Residents in the Capital City are left shaking their heads over a recent string of thefts and now they're wondering what they can do to protect themselves.
"Usually it's Hondas and Toyotas," said Randell Reid of West Hartford.
A Honda propped on crates is exactly what residents of Hartford's West End found on Warrenton Ave Tuesday. It's sitting in front of Dave Ionna's home. The retired librarian has lived in this house for over 40 years. He says he's never seen anything like this.
"We came out in the morning and all the lug nuts including the tire wrench everything was laying right here," said Ionna.
The tires and rims are gone from his neighbors car, but no windows were broken out and we couldn't see any other damage. This is just another of a string of tire thefts in the city's West End.
"The last two months I've seen three cars in this area. It's not something we're used to seeing," said Dmitry Sherman of Hartford.
Sherman sent us pictures of two other cars he found just last month. All with the distinctive blue crates.
Reid lives a couple blocks away. "It's really brazen. What's sad is it reflects badly on Hartford and reflects badly on the neighborhood," said Reid.
With more and more cars ending up like this one, residents are thinking about what they can do to protect themselves.
"I made room in both of our cars to go in the garage all the time," said Reid. "Even if my wife is going to the grocery store it goes right back into the garage."
"In fact earlier today before this interview," said Sherman. "I went to the store and started shopping for wheel locks."
"I don't feel too concerned about my own vehicles but certainly next time my dog makes a ruckus I'm coming downstairs to look outside," said Ionna.
We asked Hartford police how many tire thefts have been reported this year but they could not give us an answer. They are still investigating the recent cases.

31 Days to Scare ~ Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
by Joe 31 Days to Scare, Movie Review	• Tags: Cassandra Peterson, Daniel Greene, Edie McClurg, Elvira, Frank Collison, James Signorelli, Jeff Conaway, John Paragon, Mistress of the Dark, New World Pictures, Pat Crawford Brown, Sam Egan, Susan Kellerman, William Duell, William Morgan Sheppard
Synopsis: When her great aunt dies, famous horror hostess Elvira heads for the uptight New England town Falwell to claim her inheritance of a haunted house, a witch's cookbook and a punk rock poodle. But once the stuffy locals get an eyeful of the scream queen's ample assets, all hell busts out and breaks loose.
Stars: Cassandra Peterson, Edie McClurg, William Morgan Sheppard, Daniel Greene, Susan Kellerman, Frank Collison, Jeff Conaway, Pat Crawford Brown, William Duell
Director: James Signorelli
Running Length 96 minutes
TMMM Score: (6.5/10)
Review: Along with the classic horror films and modern shockers, it's nice to have a few scary-adjacent films in your back pocket on the off chance you find yourself in the company of someone who'd rather not feel the fright. There are plenty of these types of films, with family fare like Hocus Pocus finding a wider audience outside of the PG crowd throughout the years. I'd also add Elvira, Mistress of the Dark to the pile of alternative titles that can be a fun substitute when gore just won't do.
Originally introduced in 1981 as a midnight movie hostess on a local cable access station, Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) soon gained wider popularity thanks to her revealing attire and tongue in cheek snarky comments about the low-budget horror films she was showcasing. People started to tune in just to see Elvira and treated the movies like commercial breaks. With multiple products bearing her likeness and licensing deals for promotions on a global scale, what better way to capitalize on that fame then to have Elvira star in her very own movie, right? A total no-brainer. And that's what you get.
I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge that Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is pretty silly and downright stupid at times but watching it again recently I was amazed at how brisk it moved and how much energy Peterson brings to the character. When Elvira gets sacked from her late night gig and owing money to producers of her upcoming Las Vegas show, her future looks grim. Then, out of the blue, she's informed she's the beneficiary of an inheritance just waiting for her to claim in a conservative New England township.
She's not in town long before she's alienated the local goody-goody (Edie McClurg, Frozen), run afoul of a trio of no goodniks (Susan Kellerman, Frank Collison, & Jeff Conaway), and thrown a wrench into the plans of her uncle (William Morgan Sheppard, Star Trek) who has sinister inclinations involving witchcraft. She also catches the eye of the town hunk (Daniel Greene) and rouses the town's teenagers from their fun-free, repressed comas. There's plenty of boob jokes and bad puns, all delivered by Peterson with zany charm and a totally wacky musical number at the film's conclusion.
Look, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is no shining example of cutting-edge writing or overly competent filmmaking but it's quite funny and self-aware. Co-written by Peterson, the movie is tailor-made to fit into the Elvira brand and while not a critical or box office hit, it gained enough notoriety through video rentals to keep Elvira alive and kickin'. Even today, Peterson looks like a million bucks in her Elvira get-up and keeps her fans happy with each appearance. Though a sequel, Elvira's Haunted Hills, appeared over a decade later it couldn't quite match the fun of her original outing which has aged well…much like its star.
Movie Review ~ Frozen

Synopsis: Fearless optimist Anna teams up with Kristoff in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, and a hilarious snowman named Olaf in a race to find Anna's sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter.
Stars: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, Santino Fontana, Alan Tudyk, Maia Wilson, Ciarán Hinds, Edie McClurg
Director: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee
Review: Perhaps it's the kid that still bounces around within me, but I still get a little twinge of excitement every time a new Disney film is about to open. Though I've long since given up hope that the hand drawn animation of the late 80's/early 90's age of Disney films will ever truly make a comeback, I find myself remaining interested in what projects the studio is working on.
The latest output from the House of Mouse is a wintery musical (very) loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen, refashioned as a tale of sisterly bonds and the embracing of our own individuality. Featuring a welcome return to the musical roots of the Golden Age of the studio, Frozen boasts some very appealing tunes by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez heartily sung by a roster of Broadway actors that help to keep the movie afloat during several slow stretches.
After their royal parents are lost at sea, sisters Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell, Hit and Run) are left to rule the Nordic land of Arendelle. The sisters rarely speak due to a childhood accident involving Elsa's powers to turn anything she touches to ice. With the help of some magical trolls, the royal parents and Elsa decide to keep her away from Anna, adjusting her memory so that no harm can come to Elsa or the villagers that may not understand her powers.
This separation has come at a price, though, because Anna doesn't understand why her sister has cut her off. That all changes when Elsa comes of age to inherit the throne and accidentally unleashes a massive winter freeze on the sunny village and hills of Arendelle. With Elsa fleeing to a wintery castle of her own creation, Anna treks after her to bring her sister home and end the chill of a winter without end.
Bell gives Anna just the right amount of pluck and spunk, not to mention a clarion singing voice that is a nice fit to the various musical styles of the Lopez/Anderson-Lopez score. There's some classic Disney princess-ey whimsy going on here and Bell skips right along with it. Whether she's dealing with a handsome prince (Santino Fontana, also lending strong singing chops) or bumping heads while climbing a mountain with the local (and now unemployed) ice delivery man (Jonathan Groff), Bell keeps Anna in good spirits and great voice.
While Menzel brings her Broadway belt with her for the Act 1 power ballad "Let it Go", there's something about her voice that doesn't match up with the character that's been animated for her. The booming timbre and slightly raspy tones sound great on the CD but strangely feel awkward and out of place when you see it onscreen. It's a disappointing wrinkle and the fault lies with the concept animation, not in Menzel's performance.
I'm not a huge fan of Josh Gad (Thanks for Sharing, jOBS, The Internship) but I have to say that this is probably the most I've enjoyed him in anything so far. As charmingly daft snowman Olaf, Gad pretty much walks away with the movie thanks to his stellar timing and easy-going approach to what could have been a much sillier role. There's a welcome tenderness to this particular character that gives the movie extra oomph.
While the 3D animation is, as usual, crisp and intriguing I found myself less interested in it than I have in previous efforts like Tangled. As pleasing as the voices are and as soothing as the snowflake heavy animation is, it all feels vaguely familiar…and not as original as I wanted it to be. On the other hand, there's something to be said about the magic of a Disney film and how it can somehow overcome its shortcomings. Though initially pleased but not overwhelmed by the film, I find myself humming the tunes and thinking about the characters…and that's nice when you consider how rare animated musicals are nowadays.
A special note, Frozen is preceded by a brand new neat-o Mickey Mouse animated short that gives a nice nod to the black and white cartoon origins of Disney before breaking through (literally) to a more modern day feel. Don't be late…and stay through the end credits of Frozen too!

Synopsis: A video game villain wants to be a hero and sets out to fulfill his dream, but his quest brings havoc to the whole arcade where he lives.
Stars: John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, Alan Tudyk, Ed O'Neill, Mindy Kaling
Director: Rich Moore
Trailer Review: Here and Here
Review: Nostalgia filmmaking is not for everyone. As much as something can seem like a slam dunk on paper, movie studios tend to tread carefully with films that might appeal to audiences that don't go to the movies quite as often as they used to. If they get it wrong, they've alienated your base demographic and the repeat business is a bust. If they get it right, they guarantee their product has a longer shelf life. Thankfully, the makers of Wreck-It Ralph fall into the latter category and have delivered a high gloss animated comedy that is a mostly winning treat.
I've always appreciated that the Walt Disney Studios haven't been afraid to look for anti-heroes when creating new work. The central character in Wreck-It Ralph is the 'bad guy' in an 80's style video game that longs to be a winner. Now, he's not asking to be good necessarily…he just wants to win the coveted medal that his nemesis Fix-It Felix achieves every time he defeats Ralph. We are given an inside look at the world inside Ralph's game and see what happens when the arcade closes and the work day ends for the inhabitants of the game.
Yeah, there is more than a passing connection to Toy Story in that aspect but the similarities end there. When Ralph goes "Turbo" (explained in greater detail with a neat-o double twist) and leaves his game for greater glory, he sets off a series of events that threatens to pull the plug on several games. Along the way he enters a first person military game and then winds up in a Candy Land-eqsue racing game (Sugar Rush) where he meets a mischievous glitch that may hold the key to salvation.
The film is a candy color-ed adventure that works on several levels. It's quite creative in its employment of familiar characters to anyone that ever had an Atari or Nintendo growing up. There are enough in jokes and references that don't go too far over the heads of youngsters that adults will get a kick out of things as well. It's also (per usual Disney fare) a strong morality tale of being happy with yourself for who you are, not what people may label you as being.
Reilly is a nice choice to voice Ralph…his genial lunk headed-ness comes across well in an easy-going delivery that allows audiences to feel empathy for our nice-bad guy. Silverman goes wild as glitch Vanellope and Lynch does her normal shtick as a hardened soldier that falls for Felix (McBrayer). Tudyk channels Ed Wynn as the crazed King Candy who is intent on keeping Vanellope out of a big race that the film speeds toward.
With the added benefit of some swell 3D and a perfected Disney sheen, Wreck-It Ralph is an enjoyable film that probably goes on ten minutes too long. It's in these extra ten minutes, gathered from various scenes along the way that you start to feel a bit bogged down by some unnecessary restatements of thoughts/ideas the film has already made clear.
With a curious lack of strong family fare this holiday season, it's no wonder that Wreck-It Ralph has cleaned up at the box office the past few weeks. It's getting some competition in the next few weeks but expect this one to stay on top of them all a while longer. It's typically strong Disney fare that has its heart and brain in the right place.

Thoughts: Even though Wreck-It Ralph may be coming out of Walt Disney Studios without the PIXAR logo stamped on it, I'm quite excited for this colorful looking 3D animated film. As a proud child of the 80's, I find a lot to like in this second trailer that shows more of the storyline than the first trailer and a nice chunk of jokes that hit me right at my youthful funny bone. From the spot-on graphics to some familiar arcade villains I get sent right to my happy spot whenever I've caught this preview. I'm hoping Ralph can live up to its promise of being a nicely solid throwback for the Pac-Man lover at heart.

I jumped the gun last month when I wrote a piece with the unfortunate headline "IT'S OVER: Comprehensive Immigration Reform Is Going To Pass."
Obviously, immigration reform is on the rocks. But its death is being greatly exaggerated in the media.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress both have reasons to signal inflexibility on the content of an immigration bill, regardless of how inflexible they actually are.
Speaker John Boehner needs to convince Democrats that Republicans are willing to kill the bill without major policy concessions. Democrats, like Chuck Schumer, need to convince Republicans that they are willing to let the bill die rather than give up desired elements like the pathway to citizenship.
Jon Ward of the Huffington Post lays out how this needle could theoretically be threaded. It would involve replacing the Path to Citizenship which so alarms many House Republicans with something less, along the lines of Sen. Rand Paul's "No New Path To Citizenship" proposal.
You can call it a Pathway to Legalization—unauthorized immigrants would get the right to stay in the country legally and could pursue citizenship if they become eligible through existing legal channels, but would not get a separately established right to apply for Permanent Resident status after 10 years.
I spoke this afternoon with Sean West, Director of Eurasia Group's U.S. practice, who is reiterating his call that there is a 60% chance of immigration reform's passage this year. But he thinks the bill that passes may not involve a path to citizenship.
There are two key questions about this approach: Could it be acceptable to a majority of House Republicans, and could Democrats swallow hard and accept it? The answer to both is maybe.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), who chairs the House Judiciary Committee and is generally viewed as an immigration skeptic, favors such an approach. So does Paul, who ended up voting against the Senate bill because of concerns about the path to citizenship and border security.
A path to legalization without citizenship would satisfy the needs of Republican-aligned business interests, which just want to be able to hire immigrant workers. And it could calm worries among Republicans wary of granting citizenship to members of a likely Democratic voting block.
Of course, Democrats have repeatedly insisted that immigration reform isn't comprehensive if it doesn't contain a path to citizenship. But if they're presented with a bill that serves most of their other goals, will they really turn it down? There are a few reasons they shouldn't.
Legalization would lead to a major advance in quality of life for unauthorized immigrants even if it didn't come with a path to citizenship. A substantial fraction of newly-legalized immigrants would later become eligible for citizenship through existing channels, such as marriage to a citizen or sponsorship by a relative, even without a special path.
Perhaps most importantly, legalization would bring formerly unauthorized immigrants out of the shadows and enable them to lobby for a path to citizenship in the future. Even the path to citizenship in the Senate immigration bill wouldn't lead to the creation of any new U.S. citizens until 2026. Democrats will almost surely control the whole federal government at some point between now and then, so if there's no path to citizenship in an immigration bill passed this year, they will likely be able to enact one later.
Of course, that reason for Democrats to accept a bill with no path to citizenship is a reason for Republicans to resist passing one. But there are still good reasons for House Republicans to feel they have to pass something.
Business interests and the Republican elites that align closely with them desperately want an immigration bill. They haven't given up: Grover Norquist, Al Cardenas and Doug Holtz-Eakin came out with another letter yesterday urging Boehner to pass something.
If the House doesn't pass any immigration bill, they will have to take all of the blame for reform getting defeated, alienating not just Hispanics but many of the top funders of Republican politics.
When I asked this morning on Twitter about the last time Republican elites fought so hard for something and got rebuked by their own elected officials, the proffered examples were not on point: TARP. "Plan B" for the fiscal cliff. This year's farm bill.
House Republicans defected on TARP and changed their mind less than two weeks later. When Plan B got defeated, Boehner had no choice but to let a substantively similar (actually, farther left) bill pass with mostly Democratic votes. Everybody expects the House to eventually pass a farm bill, too. In each case, the elites eventually got (or will get) more or less what they want.
If House Republicans pass a bill with no path to citizenship, they'll be able to accurately tell business interests that they passed legislation addressing their priorities, Hispanics that they voted for a bill that changes immigration in a way that substantially betters the lives of immigrants, and conservatives that they didn't just roll over to Democratic priorities. The politics are drastically better than not passing anything at all.
And passing such a bill would put Democrats in a challenging political position. Can Schumer really make good on his threat not to go to conference with a House bill that doesn't have a path to citizenship? If he did, he'd give Republicans an opening to credibly declare that Democrats killed immigration reform because they'd rather have a political issue than a law that advances many, if not all, of their policy objectives.
A lot of the discussion around immigration reform has focused on two possible outcomes: passage of a bill substantially identical to the Gang of Eight approach, or no bill. But the possibility of a bill that is more limited in scope and more attuned to Republican interests should not be discounted. Don't call immigration reform dead yet.

EU air safety body urges halt on use of Kobe Steel products

By Elaine Kurtenbach - AP Business Writer - Associated Press
TOKYO (AP) — The European Aviation Safety Agency has recommended that companies suspend use of Kobe Steel products when possible.
The recommendation on the agency's website follows the company's admission that it has faked inspections data on products sold to hundreds of companies.
The agency said companies should thoroughly review their supply chains to identify "suspected unapproved parts" from Kobe Steel that they may have used.
"Where alternative suppliers are available, it is recommended to suspend use of Kobe Steel products until the legitimacy of the affected parts can be determined," the notice says.
It says the directive did not indicate an "unsafe condition" requiring further immediate action such as an airworthiness warning. But the agency said it had contacted Japanese authorities for more information.
Kobe Steel had no immediate comment on the announcement.
The 112-year-old company is a major supplier of many metal products used in aircraft, trains, vehicles and other equipment. Company officials say the company is still trying to determine the full extent of the problem.
The metals and equipment maker said late Tuesday that it would "sincerely cooperate" with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Japan's Mainichi newspaper and other local media, citing former Kobe Steel workers, have reported the problems began more than 30 years ago.
The company has reported it discovered bogus inspections or faked data for steel powder, aluminum flat-rolled products and castings, copper strips and tubes and forgings, among many other products.
It has acknowledged the fudging of inspections data might have begun up to a decade ago and affected more than 500 customers.
Japanese government officials and the company itself say it is unclear if the improper reporting poses a safety hazard. In some cases, company officials say, the products might actually exceed customers' specifications, depending on the situation.
But the problems are the latest in a slew of product quality, accounting and corruption scandals that have dented Japan's image of superior manufacturing prowess.

Members of the Greek-letter community strutted down the catwalk Wednesday night, raising $6,000 for breast cancer care. About 200 members of the community cheered their friends on as students-turned runway models attempted their best imitations of Paris models.
The Masquerade Fashion Show, with a Mardi Gras Dixieland theme, was the finale to a three-week effort to raise money for the non-profit organization.
The show, held in the Marvin Center's Betts Theatre, was sponsored by the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association and Multicultural Greek Council. Fraternity and sorority members modeled apparel from DKNY, Diesel, and Dolce and Gabbana designers. Local businesses from around the GW community including Tickled Pink, Fornash Designs and All About Jane donated the clothing.
Two members of the Delta Gamma sorority, Kelly McLaughlin and Luci Shanahan, and Sigma Phi Epsilon member Ryan Fitzgerald emceed the event as 21 members of the Greek-letter community modeled fashions.
The event began with a slide show of photographs from student trips to Mardi Gras, and the stage was decorated with statues of brass brand instruments, feathered masks and bright waves of fabric to create the Bourbon Street theme.
Brian Elkins, a sophomore in Kappa Sigma, showed his enthusiasm for the event, yelling out, "Anything for breasts!" before it began.
This year's philanthropy, the GW Mammovan, sponsored by the GW Hospital, was founded in 1996 and provides mammograms for women with little to no insurance in the District and the greater D.C. area.
The van is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, a waiting area, VCR, two dressing rooms and a mammogram suite.
D.C., has the highest rate of breast cancer deaths in the country, said Jean Lynn, program director for the GW Mammovan. Lynn said the van has helped as many as 66,000 women in the D.C. area.
"The crowd was really great tonight, I think it went really well," said Panhellenic Association President Courtney Tallman.

Discovering the many aspects that characterize Montreal and Montrealers.
Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve Borough
The Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough is divided into three areas, Mercier East, Mercier West and Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.
Mercier is where the Louis-Hyppolyte-La Fontaine bridge-tunnel is located and Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is is where health care and assistance is the first economic sector followed by retail trade and then by the manufacturing sector.
Opened since 1967, the Louis-Hyppolyte-La Fontaine is a highway - Highway 25, a bridge and a tunnel that runs over and under the St-Lawrence River and that connects the Island of Montreal to the south shore and the City of Longueuil.
Urban Daily
The Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough offers a multitude of local stores on its major commercial streets such as Beaubien, a major east-west street, Notre-Dame with a few shops but with no real commercial activity and Sherbrooke, Hochelaga and Desormeaux also considered commercial streets.
The vitality of the Sherbrooke Street is undeniable and is characterized by a diversified commercial activity and the presence of several institutions and offices.
Hochelaga and Desormeaux are for current purchases, for frequent or impulsive in convenience stores, for pharmacies and supermarkets and for semi-routine purchases in beauty salons, florists and clothes shops. Streets with very few restaurants or any other entertainment services such as cinemas.
Economic Equilibrium
The Promenade Ontario is characterized by the Place Simon Valois with its modern style and fancy local shops popular among a younger clientele.
The Promenade Ste-Catherine East is now full of many different "destination stores" or boutiques or shops to visit, to relax and to profit from pleasant characteristics such as a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, special pricing and unique store design.
The Place Versailles, the first covered shopping center of the City of Montreal offers a wide range of stores and boutiques as well as an easy access from the Radisson Metro Station. Place Versailles opened in 1963 and is very popular among the regional clientele.
The municipal Parc de la Promenade-Bellerive is located in the southeast of the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough between the St-Lawrence River and Notre-Dame-Street East.
A municipal park with a few trees only that offers a constant view of the River and of the cruise ships. An urban park all at once peaceful and amazing, fragile and imposing and one of the few places in the city of Montreal that allows a direct access to the St-Lawrence River.
In the summer, a river shuttle service links the municipal Parc de la Promenade Bellerive to the provincial Parc National des Ïles-de-Boucherville right across the banks of the River.
About 2 km long, the Municipal Park is the only physical and visual access to the river, to the Provincial Park and to its surprising diversity of flora and fauna, plant and animal life.
During the summer, cycling is the best way to get around in the provincial Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville. Bikes that can be rented on site. And, during the winter, the whole family can enjoy snowy landscapes and natural winter calm and beauty.
The Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough is served by nine Metro Stations, that is Préfontaine, Joliette, Pie IX, Viau, l'Assomption Cadillac, Langelier, Radisson and Honoré-Beaugrand and by each of their respective STM bus transfers and bus lines.
Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve Borough Hall - 6854 Sherbrooke St E, Montreal, Quebec H1N 1E1
Many different sports and recreation facilities are also available along with a public transit companion card that provides a free STM bus and metro access to those who accompany persons with intellectual or visual disabilities or with an orientation problem.
Elders in the borough can use two bus lines designed especially for them. The 258 Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and the 259 Mercier-Ouest Gold Shuttles both offer practical stops such as residences for the elderly, hospitals, CLSCs, shopping malls, libraries, metro stations, cinemas, grocery stores, the Botanical Garden and many others.
The borough is rich with its many different architecture styles such as the Biodôme built in 1976, renovated in 1989 in 1992, currently closed and expected to reopen in Spring 2020, the Olympic Stadium built in the mid-1970's with the largest seating capacity in Canada and the Saputo Stadium opened in 2008 and home to the Montreal Impact Soccer Team.
Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve Google Map
Also highly valuable, the Montreal Botanical Garden since 1931 and, across the street, the beautiful Château Dufresne built between 1915 and 1918 with its two semi-detached Beaux-Arts style mansions one for each brother, Oscar Dufresne, business man and councilor and Marius Dufresne, engineer and architect.
The Collège de Maisonneuve established in 1929, the original Maisonneuve market designed by Marius Dufresne in 1912 and the present building since 1995. The Théâtre Denise-Pelletier with its Beaux-Arts style built in 1929 as well as the beautiful Nativité-de-la-Sainte-Vierge-d'Hochelaga church completed in 1924 and designed by the same architects who designed the Saint Joseph's Oratory.

Calcium citrate drying machine_C12H10Ca3O14 drying equipment - Changzhou YI DU Drying Equipment Co., Ltd.
We called calcium citrate as acicontral,used in food field,commonly used as the calcareous Strengthening Qi u, chelating agent, buffer and organizations coagulant, especially as a calcium supplement, because of its taste flat and high content of calcium, often add into the infant formula food, beverage, milk and a variety of health care products. Industrial production of calcium citrate is often a white crystalline powder, the product packaging is easy to blow into the air, resulting in dust pollution. Traditional calcium citrate production technology, brewing will centrifuge after drying the calcium citrate crystal into the granulator minced and then add calcium citrate powder are mixed and stirred evenly.To keep the material moisture in the machine. about 20-25%;Starting, the speed of 400r/min mixing materials, granulation time is 40-50min, the sieve out qualified products into the drying oven to get the finished product. Which, due to the drying of calcium citrate drying equipment and can not be closed, the whole drying workshop will appear a lot of dust. In addition, due to the low thermal efficiency of citric acid calcium dryer, drying period of up to 10 hours. Changzhou drying equipment Co., Ltd. and the difficulty of citric acid calcium drying characteristics were in-depth research, and Research on the citric acid calcium drying industry, using a spray dryer citric acid calcium drying process are summed up, and the citric acid calcium sulfate sample test.
Calcium citrate drying tests were performed in simulated the citric acid production technology of calcium, 1256.3kg, citric acid and 727.3kg, calcium hydroxide in 600 liters of existence under reaction of calcium citrate samples. The molar ratio of calcium hydroxide and citric acid is less than 3:2, the accurate value of 2.92:2. The citric acid in the aniseed tank with about 2274 litres of cold water. In another trough, about 2274 liters of water mixed with calcium hydroxide. Then paste in calcium hydroxide 10-15 minutes after delivery speed pump all the slurry to the citric acid solution. In the whole reaction and mixing process, must be fully stirred. With the remaining approximately 200 liters of water tank and pipeline flushing of calcium hydroxide. Because of the heat of reaction, the temperature of the slurry increased from 15 to 57. After the reaction is finished, the batch is cooled to about 27 -32. The final pH value of the concentrated slurry should be in the 3.8-4.6, or can be adjusted with the reaction mixture. And then use the runner (7600 RPM) to spray the slurry spray dry. The outlet temperature is adjusted to about 107, and the inlet temperature is about 232. From the results of calcium citrate drying, the product moisture content in line with the requirements of the process, no powder leakage, etc., and the drying time is about 10 seconds.
In the process of designing the calcium citrate drying process, the solubility of calcium citrate in water is very small, and the solution of about 0.1% weight is formed at room temperature. So in the process of design experiments, the salt in the form of insoluble material is present in the form of an insoluble substance in the form of an insoluble material, which is formed from 5 to 100 microns. In this experiment, the optimum product is obtained by the following conditions: the solid content of the new citric acid calcium salt solution is kept in 20-26%, preferably 22-24% weight, and the temperature of the slurry is about 27 -32. In order to avoid the formation of gel in water slurry, especially in the conditions of less than about 21 degrees, also in order to prevent the long-term storage of recrystallization, so within the slurry preparation after approximately 4-5 hours will water slurry spray drying. The slurry is sprayed at an inlet temperature of about 238 C to 218 C to provide a free flow of water content less than 6%, and the bulk and density of the slurry is from about 0.3 to about 0.7 g / ml.. Spray dried product should avoid mixing in a long time, especially the homogenization treatment, because the salt particles can be broken into fine particles.

and has to show that the sum is odd, and write on exponential form. That the sum is odd is because $\sin(kx)$ is odd, and the sum of odd products must be odd
However, I have a hard time writing it on exponential form, but have come to the following, but I don't know if it is correct:
$$b_k=i(f_k-f_{-k})$$
$$\frac{b_k}{i}=f_k-f_{-k}$$
We can see that $a_k=0$ from the sum above, so
$$0=a_k=f_k+f_{-k}\quad\quad\Rightarrow\quad\quad f_k=-f_{-k}$$
So I have:
$$\frac{b_k}{i}=2f_k,$$
which gives:
$$f_k=\frac{b_k}{2i}$$
so the exponential form becomes:
$$\sum_{k=0}^\infty f_ke^{ikx}$$
I don't know how to verify whether it is correct.

Felt ripped off – too much 'romance maybe? Certainly not enough 'witch-ery' – but some interesting historical tidbits, so I'll keep it for now.
TORONTONIANS: It was large near the South St. Laurence Market Building; HELP ME OUT HERE, SVP!


Is there anyone out there who's child's first sippy cup collection did not include one from Tommee Tippee? All three of my children have had them as their first cups, we've had blue, green, pink, orange and even a couple with stars on and they've all been well loved, and well used. Which is what made it so lovely when Tommee Tippee got in contact to invite us to the Baby Show for the launch of their new range of sippee cups. For starters, my ears pricked up at the sound of new cups, and then from a brand whose products we already think are great. It was a very easy "yes please"!
Pip at very nearly almost nine months old has just about mastered picking up his own cup for a drink, and the infinitely more useful, waving it around the room until it splatters your sister with water and she squeals in surprise, which is apparently very very funny. His favourite is blue, with a blue lid and it's one of the very basic sort, hence the flying rain game.
But it all seems very lo-tech compared to the new range. They're all non spill cups, the first (suitable for from 4 months) with a nice squishy soft spout to introduce babies to the concept of having a drink,the second a bit bigger and much more like the cups we're used to, only with curvy handles with a little rubber grip on them (and a very cute carrot on the front), and finally the Tommee Tippee Active cup for 12 months and up which has an insulator in it to keep everything cool. Elma has a sports bottle with something similar inside it and it was brilliant last summer for keeping drinks nice and cool when we went out to the park for a while.
The all look a lot of fun and the best news is that I have a set of all three to giveaway.
It's possibly the cutest USB stick I've ever seen.
The giveaway is open to anyone in the UK, just fill in the Rafflecopter form below and entries will close on 31 May 2015 – good luck!
Congratulations Rosie! I've sent you an email to sort out sending you your lovely prize!
Disclosure: we were guests of Tommee Tippee at the NEC Baby Show and were given all these lovely bits and bobs to giveaway to you.
Someone from our village walking their dog. It's not mind-blowing, but I think watching children take photographs is interesting.
We were sat in our front garden waiting for H to get home from work, enjoying the late afternoon sunshine and eagerly anticipating the family being complete again. Elma was pulling up grass and climbing up and down the steps, and when Pip was so wrigglish in my arms and so very determined that the camera really was something that he ought to be eating I handed it over to his biggest sister. Kitty perched up next to me and started snapping. Firstly a few of me with Pip, then Elma against the wall of the house; the garden wall, the big tree and lots and lots of clouds. And when she'd run out of fixed objects she started to look at the people, and photographing them.
There are a few of our neighbours, off for an evening walk, or perhaps down to the pub for supper; a villager walking his dog, and a man crossing the end of our road, head down, slowly climbing up the hill. And then of course we have enough photos of Daddy arriving home to run a full stop motion animation of him arriving onto the drive!
It struck me how utterly unselfconscious she is as a photographer; she sees something that interests her and just takes a picture.
Way back last summer I set myself a little challenge to take a picture on the walk to work each day, just to push myself a bit, to practice taking shots that weren't of small children, and it was a challenge. But not so much in terms of finding things to be the subject of my pictures, there were always plenty of choices and always changing light, but the first time I pulled out my phone I felt spectacularly self-conscious, incredibly aware of everyone else rushing to work around me (and by everyone else we mean a dozen people at most) and a little embarrassed and nervous. I think you can tell in the photographs too; to start with they were all very much of bits of public property, the bridge over the river, flowers trailing down a wall, the sunlight through the trees. Only as I got more confident did I start to take some of the photos that I really wanted, the delicious huge roses in a front garden, or the sign above the door at an apartment building that was once a school. And there are still some that evaded me, that I never quite found the courage to take; the beautiful black and white tiled stairs down to a basement flat, or the door with the wonky 2 that made it look like it was smiling crookedly at you. I think I always worried that I'd take the picture at the exact moment the owner decided to walk out the door to work!
It's silly to be self-conscious, firstly because I am completely not when it comes to taking Me and Mine pictures; if someone walks past while I've got the camera precariously balanced on the buggy I'm more likely to ask the kids to wave than be worried about what they think we're up to, probably because it is rather self-evident. But the truth is exactly what I found last summer and what we can see in Kitty's pictures from last week; no-one ever bats an eyelid.
After last year's Blogtacular and Xanthe's fantastic photo walk I promised myself that I would go out for more photo walks at home, but with the exception of my mini challenge I don't think I have, not in the sense that I wanted to anyway. I've put my hat in the ring for a place on this year's walk and I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for a place, but even if don't get on it, I'm thinking that I need to make myself get out there and start snapping away.


Li et al. demonstrate that APE2 and the DNA 3′ phosphatase ZDP play overlapping roles in active DNA demethylation in Arabidopsis thaliana. The Plant Cell (2018).
Background: DNA methylation, the addition of a methyl group to the C-5 position of cytosine, is a type of DNA modification important for gene expression regulation. DNA methylation is reversible. In eukaryotes, the active removal of methylated cytosine, referred to as active DNA demethylation, employs the base excision repair pathway, a pathway evolved for repair of damaged DNA bases. In plants, the ROS1 family of DNA glycosylases cut the DNA backbone after removing methylated cytosine, generating a gap with a 3′ phosphate or a 3′ phosphor-α,β-unsaturated aldehyde (PUA) terminus. ZDP and APE1L convert 3′ phosphate and 3′ PUA, respectively, to a 3′ hydroxyl group. The conversions enable gap filling with an unmethylated cytosine by DNA polymerase(s) and DNA ligase I.
Question: We wanted to know whether APE2, another apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease protein, functions in active DNA demethylation and DNA damage repair. What is the relationship between APE2 and ZDP in these biological processes?
Findings: We found that APE2 functions in active DNA demethylation. Unexpectedly, APE2 and ZDP play overlapping roles, downstream of ROS1, in active DNA demethylation. The zdp ape2 double mutants, but not the single mutants, display many defects associated with DNA repair deficiency, suggesting overlapping roles of APE2 and ZDP in DNA damage repair as well. Knockout of ROS1 reduces the magnitude of DNA lesion accumulation and the DNA damage response in the zdp ape2 mutants, suggesting that ROS1 products, when kept unprocessed and unrepaired, are an important source of DNA damage. Finally, we demonstrate that APE2, like ZDP, has DNA 3′ phosphatase activity. Besides, it has strong 3′ to 5′ exonuclease activity.
Next steps: What mechanisms determine the specificity of APE2 and ZDP2 targeting to certain loci. What are the DNA damage signaling pathways, for instance, the checkpoint pathways, that are specifically activated in the zdp ape2 double mutants, which show defects in both genome and epigenome stability.


Comcast says the problem is a fiber cut at one of its "large backbone network partners," other services may be affected.
Update 2 (11:45 am PDT): Comcast says that the cause of the outages is a fiber cut at one of its "large backbone network partners," which may have affected other providers as well. "We apologize and are working to get services restored as soon as possible," the company said in a statement on Twitter.
Update (11 am PDT): The Comcast issues we were experiencing earlier today have been resolved, and the number of downdetector.com reports is dropping. It's looking like no long Friday lunch for us. We'll keep an eye on any continuing outages and their cause throughout the day.
Original story: Comcast customers are reporting widespread internet outages, both to downdetector.com, which has received over 8,000 reports at the time of writing, and to the Comcast Twitter account. The company has confirmed that it's working to resolve problems.
I am using Comcast, and I am unable to access Twitter, so I had to ask another editor to find that tweet. Other PC Gamer staff members on Comcast are unable to access pcgamer.com, and are reporting problems with Verizon phones as well.
Spectrum, Verizon, and AT&T have also received a spike in reports on downdetector.com over the past hour. We'll update this post as we learn more.

Gary, just to confirm Judge Sininatra and Sudabie are not moving forward to litigate what they placed under injunction? I am not understanding why the second circuit assumes these cases without a final decision from the lower courts. The Second Circuit is just going to pull the no-standing card and punt the ball for another 8 month delay. Can you clarify the path forward?
sorry to jump in but if they did do that it would be a huge mistake on there part and they would look incompetent. Scotus specifically said if the second circuit court dose not do its job send us back a relief order and we will take care of it. The second circuit has not choice but to do its job or with in a week it will be back at SCOTUS Dont forget what alio and thomas said about it 2 weeks ago the ccia presented serious and novel questions.
ARP228 said:
I wonder why they wrote it differently for each section relating to retired law enforcement. Regardless, under the CCIA, the state says that retired police can enter private property and regular citizens cannot. They are private citizens once retired, then why the exemption. Even under LEOSA, the state can restrict were retired law officers are allowed to access. The old laws the state is trying to use to keep the restrictions on private property do not exempt retired law enforcement. The state cannot have it both ways. They cannot dictate who can and cannot go on private property. It is up to the land owners. Again, I have no issue with the law for retired police, but they are private citizens like the rest of use, so we should all be treated the same. Just throw out the law!
I agree 100%

The SCOTUS will accept the case on the incompetence of the Second Circuit, not the incompetence of the plaintives not securing standing. The only track of success and delay for NYS is to argue there is no standing. There is no other pathway forward for the NYS legal team. They tipped their hand:
https://assets.nationbuilder.com/fi...v_Nigrelli_Brief_for_Appellant.pdf?1674517213
i agree and they do have standing the lower court wouldn't have written a decision if they didn't. Remember when this all started the lower court judge did denie the case because it was not in effect yet and was not effecting anyone. This is effecting the plaintiffs and thousands of new yorkers
Download the doc , click control F and search the word standing. On March 20th NYS will heavily contest none of these cases had legitimate standing and will seek to have the second court dismiss on those grounds. If you recall Suddaby gave GOA a heads-up concerning standing. The second court of appeals will do no such thing. This is all speculation therefore, some of the legal minds here I hope can clarify the validity of my thought process.
As a non attorney I would say very permit holder in the state has standing, since the law is doing irreparabale harm to our Second Amendmet rights. I am sure the ACLU would scream if the same logic for standing were applied to the First amendment!

That was my thought. How can the appellate court hear something when district hasn't actually heard the case? We've been going through the injunctions.
An appeal was made, by NYS, to the 2nd Circuit Court, to stay the injunctions, which injunctions were issued by Judges Suddaby and Sinatra. The 2nd Circuit agreed to do that, without benefit of trial and without explanation. That's why an interlocutory request was made, directly to SCOTUS. requesting that SCOTUS intervene. SCOTUS correctly declined, ordering that the 2nd Circuit Court must first conduct a trial, to examine and explain its actions and, at the same time, be in compliance with the Bruen decision. SCOTUS said that the 2nd Circuit must, quickly, conduct trials, as respects all 5 of the anti-CCIA suits, then issue a decision, as respects each of them, also in compliance with the Bruen decision. SCOTUS further advised that, if the 2nd Circuit did not issue decisions, which were compliant with the Bruen decision, that SCOTUS would take up the cases, then correct the 2nd Circuit, which would embarrass the hell out of them.
So, on 3/20, all 5 cases will start to be heard. If the 2nd Circuit's decisions are in complete accord with the Bruen decision, there would be no grounds for an appeal, by NYS or us. If the 2nd Circuit tries some work-around, there will be appeals, directly to SCOTUS, which has, already made it very clear, what they will do. That's it, in a non-legalese nutshell.
Reactions: NYC_Under_Dictatorship, JAMerolle, sig45 and 2 others
Gary, as with Heller. The lower courts used the two step approach to keep these unconstitutional laws in full force. This case will most likely be back at the Supreme Court. I don't believe the Second Circuit will rule in our favor.
Reactions: NYC_Under_Dictatorship and JAMerolle
But in Bruen, Thomas specifically shot down the two step approach. If they use that, then we will appeal directly to the Supreme Court and they will issue a smackdown. I am optimistic that either way, we win. Best case scenario it goes back to the Supreme Court and they issue a much broader ruling than they did in Bruen. It may take longer, but in the end we will come out better.

IMO There is NO way New York State does not know what is probably coming so there is NO way they haven't prepared something in rebuttal they think will work. Call me pessimistic I guess. But we've been down this "slam dunk" "sure thing" and "can't miss" road so many times only to have some legalese technical issue throw a wrench in it. NYS intends to delay this as long as possible and with the help of the police department licensing bureau's here on Long Island they are. So you want a full carry license now? No problem....6-12 months and growing longer every day.

100% agree, I predicated that early on. It's an entire gaggle of lawyers up in Albany, and this is all they do. Why do you think back with the unSafe act, and this recent CCIA, both came out soo quickly. And they have a roadmap, time , and can outspend and out number any 2A groups in $$ / Hours of legal work, all on our tax dollarr
Reactions: Lou G, NYC_Under_Dictatorship and JAMerolle
This is 100% correct, however if the SCOTUS has to get involved, bigger picture as a country we are in big trouble as that would mean courts no longer abide by SCOTUS decisions when they don't agree..... This is why it's of such great importance the 2nd gets it right. It's actually about more than ccia...
either way if they say theres no standing witch we already established there is and if they did push it aside its going directly back to scotus with in a week not 8 months also the 2nd circuit isnt going to embarrass itself nys already bought there time the 2 months were waiting now. If you remember they asked the second circuit to extend the time witch was denied. We definitely wont get a win in evey case but i am strongly certain that the sensitive areas will be shot down for the simple face that u can not make law abiding gun owners criminals because your mad

Gary, just to confirm Judge Sinatra and Suddaby are not moving forward to litigate what they placed under injunction? I am not understanding why the second circuit assumes these cases without a final decision from the lower courts.
You are both correct in your suspicions. The four "cases" the 2nd Circuit will begin on 3/20 (see attached) are the ones involving whether or not the Suddaby, Sinatra, etc. injunctions remain in place while the lower district courts try and hear the actual merits of the cases. The 2nd Circuit had right away stayed the injunctions, sometimes without explanation, while they made up their minds about the injunctions and kept putting it off. Good guys appealed directly to SCOTUS and rather than re institute the preliminary injunctions, told the 2nd Circuit chop chop hurry up. So, the circuit court is now going to hear them all at once on 3/20. Also included in the mix is the Gazzola case where a TRO/injunction was denied by the district court and now they are asking the circuit court to give them one.
Focusing just on the "big one" (Suddaby/Antonuk), the state asked Suddby for to pause the district courts proceedings pending the Second Circuit's resolution of the appeal of Suddaby's Preliminary Injunction. Gun people/Antouk did not oppose it. After the 2nd Circuit rules on this case (one of the four), NYS and Anontuk have to tell Suddaby what they want to do. (See attached).

I 100% agree about the state (and their anti-gun subsidiaries) wanting to delay as long as possible, but I think it's important to point out that we have never been down this road before AT ALL, let alone "so many times." You might consider the appeals to the second circuit after Heller to be the cases some people thought were a "slam dunk" and "can't miss" as previous time, but I don't. These these are uncharted waters in enemy territory and for the first time we are getting favorable court cases.

So the case is stayed/paused while the preliminary injunction hearings take place. Does this mean we fight for all of this temporary stuff and then have to fight over the next several years to get it firmly struck down, or will these proceedings be influenced by the March 20 docket?
We will learn if the Second Circuit is following the Bruen decision. Many have said the CCIA will be argued at the Supreme Court.
Yes, and in the meantime, I believe boosti is correct about the insight it will give us along the way.


It also keeps government agencies from taking migrant children away from detained parents and creates a path to citizenship for so-called "Dreamers" - illegal immigrants brought to the USA when they were young.
Bryan Renbaum of Talk Media News reports the lower chamber defeated the measure 301-121. It failed by a greater margin than a conservative bill that garnered 193 votes last week.
The House could vote next month on a narrower measure that is being developed and would focus specifically on the family separations issue, although prospects for its passage are uncertain.
House Republicans are considering crafting stand-alone legislation curbing the separation of migrant families at the border in an effort to quell the fierce blowback created by President Trump's since-reversed policy, GOP aides said Monday.
"House republicans should pass the strong but fair immigration bill, known as Goodlatte ii, in their afternoon vote today, even though they won't let it pass in the senate".
The rejection of the bill once again revealed the divide between the moderate and conservative leaders within the Republican Party over the issue, with several Republican conservatives arguing that it tilts in favor of undocumented immigrants. It was also the latest example of Trump's erratic dealings with Congress. Democrats, though, said the bill would have made that path more hard. A vote is scheduled for this evening.
Since Trump initiated his "zero tolerance" policy of detaining everyone who enters the USA illegally, more than 2,000 immigrant children have been separated from their parents.
He also said last week that Republicans should wait to take action on immigration until after November's midterm elections.
Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., and Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., from districts with large numbers of Hispanic voters, helped force Ryan to stage immigration votes. The group includes Republicans, Sens.
"He said the parents are in detention and we can't put them back with the parents because there's a 20-day limit with the courts", Nelson said. He at first urged Congress to act quickly and follow up his order with legislation, then he said lawmakers should give up on it.
"Obviously, I have a different point of view", the Iowa Republican said, adding that he supports the Tillis amendment which recognizes "the need for increasing the number of immigration judges so we can process these people and keep them out of limbo".
She said she was proud to have worked on getting language into the bill meant to permanently prevent family separations at the border and that, as the child of Haitian immigrants, "this issue is tangible and personal to me".
