MICHAEL E. HAYES, LT, USN
Michael Hayes '72
Date of birth: February 14, 1950
Date of death: April 26, 1978
MICHAEL EDWARD HAYES
Aberdeen, South Dakota
After receiving his free ticket out of South Dakota, Mike packed and left Aberdeen for The Naval Academy in '68. Smiley soon got involved in such good deals as the Brigade Hop Committee, Squash, SCUBA club, and Concert Band which gave him an excuse to bag part of Plebe year. After becoming an upperclassman, Mike could usually be seen with his pinmate on weekends, giving up his fillers at Tom's, a favorite spot of the 8th Company. In his spare ime he still managed to make Sup's List and get stars and wings. Planning a career in Navy Air once he gets out of Navy Line, Mike hopes become a Prop Jock, but whatever he does, we know he'll come out on top.
Shipmate
From the September 1978 issue of Shipmate:
Lt. Michael Edward Hayes USN died on 26 April 1978 in the crash of a P-3 aircraft on a training flight off Lajes, The Azores. All seven members of the crew were lost; the bodies were recovered.
Appointed to the Naval Academy from the State of South Dakota, he was graduated with the Class of 1972.
His first duty assignment was the destroyer PERRY (DD-844) in the Atlantic Fleet whereupon he was ordered to the aircraft maintenance school at the training center in Memphis. He later served with VF-213 at Miramar, Califomia, then attended flight school at Pensacola and was designated naval aviator in 1976. Other assignments were with VP-30 in Jacksonville, Florida, and VP-23, Brunswick, Maine.
He is survived by his widow, Karen, 1728 Marshall Road, Aberdeen SD 57401.
Michael is one of 13 members of the Class of 1972 on Virtual Memorial Hall.

Facts about Suleyman I
Died: September 5, 1566
Birthplace: ?
Best known as: The Ottoman empire's 16th century "Law Giver"
Suleyman I Biography
Suleyman I (also Suleiman) was the greatest sultan of the Ottomans and one of the 16th century's most formidable conquerors. He succeeded his father, Selim I, as sultan in 1520 and soon began expanding the empire, conquering Belgrade (1521) and Rhodes (1522) before turning his attention to Persia in the 1530s. Suleyman also captured Baghdad (1534) and Tabriz (1535) and battled Emperor Charles V over Hungary and Austria in the 1540s. He also sent naval forces to North Africa and conquered Tripoli in 1551. Suleyman transformed Istanbul into a model of human achievement in architecture and the arts and reconstructed the Ottoman legal system, and he is considered one of Islam's great poets. A brilliant strategist and administrator, he was known in Europe as "Suleyman the Magnificent" and to his subjects as "Suleyman the Law Giver."

Six Courses at Reynolds Lake Oconee 0
newmexicogolfnews February 13, 2019 2:26 pm February 13, 2019
Shooting, Fishing Kayaking are the Just the Start
Temperate Weather Makes Reynolds Lake Oconee at Popular Retirement Community
"Pull," I shout, and the orange clay pigeon arcs out across the pond. Boom! The clay hits the water and flutters to a watery grave, unmolested by my rain of lead shot.
Justin Jones instructing at the Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds
I'm at the "five stand" of the Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds at Reynolds Lake Oconee, a sprawling community about 90 minutes east of Atlanta.
Six golf courses and a Ritz-Carlton Hotel and thousands homes line the 19,000-acre Lake Oconee. I'm here for the golf, but the temptation to try my hand at clay shooting with an over-under 20-gauge shotgun has seriously eroded my self-image. I'm 0-for-8 when I hand over the gun to a diminutive woman who promptly blasts to smithereens every clay she's presented with.
Finally, Justin Jones, the Welshman who runs the place, says something that clicks. Fire when the clay reaches the peak of its arc and is at its slowest. When everyone else has had a turn, I try again. Boom! Bits of clay fly off the spinning disc. I am redeemed.
Shooting and Golf at Reynolds Lake Oconee
Jones, who has developed sporting grounds for high-end resorts around the world, has created a sportsman's paradise. On the 100-acre Sandy Creek property is the aforementioned five-stand, a sheltered elevated shooting stand above a pond. Clays are launched by remote control from five different angles. Elsewhere on the grounds are a separate 20-station clay shooting course;an archery range; an air-rifle range; and a catch-and-release fishing lake.
No, 17 at the Oconee Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee
Reynolds Lake Oconee is the brainchild of Mercer Reynolds III, who upon the damming of the Oconee River in 1979 found himself with 10,000 acres of yellow pine woods, most of it on the shores of the newly created Lake Oconee.
Reynolds Lake Oconee's location not far from Augusta puts it squarely in the golf equivalent of the "Goldilocks" zone, what NASA scientists call a planet that's close enough to its sun to sustain life, but not so hot as to fry it. Snow is a rarity in this neck of Georgia. Sunshine and playable weather is the norm. A typical high in February is in the mid-50s.
The Reynolds Lake Oconee Story
The Reynolds Lake Oconee development, now owned by Met Life, boasts guest cottages and condos, fishing, boating, the shooting and sporting club, tennis academy and kayaking. Its hi-tech "The Kingdom of Golf" is a TaylorMade equipment fitting and training center that has all the latest gadgets.
No. 1 at the Reynolds Lake Oconee Great Waters course
And the golf? Reynolds's six golf courses were designed by a virtual Mount Rushmore of golf architects: Jack Nicklaus, Rees Jones, Bob Cupp, Tom Fazio and Jim Engh. (If you don't know Engh, he designed Carne Golf Links in Belmullet, County Mayo, Ireland, plus three U.S. courses on Golf magazine's 2016-2017 list of the "Top 100 You Can Play.")
Ala carte, Reynolds Lake Oconee greens fees run between $160-$280. Peak season is March 15-July 13 and Aug. 29-Nov. 30, but buddy-trip golfers know real road-trip values lie in stay-play packages. On that score, Reynolds Lake Oconee has plenty of deals starting at between $219-$359 per person per night for a party of four in a 2-bedroom condo or 4-bedroom cottage.
All golf packages include breakfast, one round a day, cart, unlimited use of practice facilities, and discounted replays, free wifi, use of the fitness center and access to the best swing-analysis and club-fitting center this side of the PGA Tour.
Packages can be built around golf alone, golf and shooting, or golf, shooting and fishing/boating/tennis.

374 Miles of Shoreline
Reynolds Lake Oconee is located in Greene County, Ga., (2017 population 17,281) about 70 miles east of Downtown Atlanta. The damming of the Oconee River created Georgia's second-largest lake.
With 19,000 acres of water, Lake Oconee is now a spectacular sportsman's paradise featuring 374 miles of shoreline and plenty of undeveloped rolling pine forest still available to build that vacation or retirement home you've been dreaming about.
No. 5 at the Reynolds Lake Oconee Preserve course
Over time, one golf course after another was added, and the sporting grounds with clay shooting, archery, fishing and boating were developed. The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, a five-star hotel with its own level of dining and spa pampering, was an early centerpiece of the destination.
For residents, there's a robust schedule of theater and music productions, art festivals and competitions and 75 different clubs, including a veterans' group. The nearby towns of Greensboro, Madison, Athens, Milledgeville and Augusta offer all the shopping, dining and small-town charm you'd expect of Georgia.
The 'Goldilocks' Weather
Fishing on Lake Oconee
Weather records for Greenboro, the nearest town, show that August generally sees temperatures averaging in the mid 80s. Through mid-November, temperatures stay in the high 60s to low 70s.
Best of all, by March, when snow is still a threat in most of the country, Greensboro's weather is back into the high 60s, low 70s. Average snowfall: 1 inch. Average days of sunshine per year: 217.
As folks at Reynolds Lake Oconee like to say, "Come for a weekend, stay for lifetime."
Golf at Reynolds Lake Oconee
Visitors have their choice of five pedigreed courses that play hide-and-seek with the shores of Lake Oconee as they wind through pine-studded hills among the area's various communities. There's a sixth course if you're lucky enough to be invited by a member to play The Creek Club, a private club.
Great Waters. The opening of Great Waters, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, put Reynolds on the golf map in 1992. Twenty-six years later, it's still ranked No. 41 on Golf's "Top 100 You Can Play" list. The front nine is mostly parkland but the lake tests you on Nos. 11 through 18. A renovation overseen by Nicklaus' company started last June and is expected to be completed by fall. (Par 72, 5,272-7,073 yards; rating 72.3-73.7/slope 129-134)
Lake Oconee comes into play on No. 7 at the Landing.
The Landing. The first course in the Reynolds area opened as Port Armor Resort & Country Club in 1986. Reynolds acquired the Bob Cupp design and renamed it in 2005, then renovated it in 2006 and 2013. The course has a bit of a linksy Scottish feel. At its debut, it was ranked No. 2 in Georgia – second only to Augusta National, 77 miles to the east. (Par 72, 5,256-7,029 yards; rating 71.1-74.4/slope 129-138)
The Preserve. Opened in 1988, it was designed by Bob Cupp, along with U.S. Open Champions Fuzzy Zoeller and Hubert Green. The course, updated three times, has just 20 bunkers but plenty of false fronts and swales to make up for its lack of sand. (Par 72, 5,121-6,698 yards; rating 69.9-72.3/slope 123-132) The Preserve features a short course within a course, known as the "Quick Six," a loop of six holes, each under 130 yards, that can be played in about an hour.
Mount Rushmore of Golf Architects
The Oconee Course. This design by Rees Jones, routed mostly along the Lake Oconee shoreline, opened in 2002. It stresses risk-reward via shots over inlets or corners of doglegs. Creeks or the lake itself come into play on nine holes. Jones was involved in a 2013 renovation that reshaped tree canopies to open up fairways. (Par 72, 5,198-7,029 yards; rating 69.9-73.5/slope 122-137)
No. 13 at the National course at Reynolds Lake Oconee
The National. This course has three nines designed by Tom Fazio, all featuring significant elevation changes, some as great as 60 feet. The Ridge and Bluff nines were the original 18 holes when The National opened in 1997. The Cove nine came three years later. The National was named by Golfweek as one of "America's Top Residential Courses" shortly after opening. (Par 72, 5,236-7,034 yards; rating 69.7-73.8/slope 124-138)
The Creek Club. Named for the Creek Indians and designed by Jim Engh, The Creek Club opened in 2007. It's a private club – a club within a club, so to speak. A channel of Richland Creek comes into play on 14 holes. Unique to The Creek Club is the Par 5 18th, which has three separate greens that change the character of the second and third shots. (Par 72, 4,737-7,079 yards; rating 66.5-72.1/slope 117-131)
Reynolds Kingdom of Golf Presented by TaylorMade
You know those equipment vans at PGA Tour events?
They have one at Reynolds – TaylorMade's original traveling tour van, actually, where custom clubs can be made by a master clubmaker on the spot.
The Kingdom of Golf also has a 16-acre range; three-hole short game area; and three open and four enclosed heated hitting bays equipped with TrackMan 4 launch monitors. To best graph your swing, the Kingdom uses "Gears," a full-swing club- and body-tracking system popular among PGA Tour professionals, club fitters, and manufacturers. Your swing is captured in full 3D from address to follow-through via video at 240 frames per second. Putting is analyzed via the Quintec putting launch monitor, and lasers are used to aid alignment.
Lodging at Reynolds
The Ritz-Carlton at Reynolds Lake Oconee
Guests have a variety of lodging choices, starting with The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, a 251-room 5-star hotel, The hotel is a short walk from the lakefront and steps from the Linger Longer Steakhouse, an upscale dining experience. The Ritz-Carlton has two other restaurants on-property along with five culinary options within the community.
Family and buddies-trip lodging choices include The Village at Lake Club Pointe, which offers 2- and 3-bedroom condos just yards from The Ritz-Carlton; The Landing Cottages, 3- and 4-bedroom cottages in a nearby Reynolds community; and The National Club Cottages, each designed to accommodate eight people comfortably. All National Cottages have 4 bedrooms, 4½ baths, and a full kitchen, plus two open living spaces and porch areas. Guests enjoy daily housekeeping service.
By far the favorite of visiting buddy-trip golfers, the National Club Cottages are a sand wedge away from The National Tavern, a vibrant craftsman-style farmhouse restaurant/brewpub loaded with local beers and great food. Inside, there's a stacked stone fireplace. Outside, there's a fire pit and a lighted practice green for the night putters among us.
Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds
At the five-stand at Sandy Creek property, clay discs are launched by remote control into the shooter's field of view from five different angles upon the command "pull." There's a separate 20-station clay-shooting course; archery range; air-rifle range; and a kayaking and a private catch-and-release fishing lake.
Sandy Creek is the brainchild Jones, a Welsh sporting-clays champion who worked with The Greenbrier in West Virginia and Gleneagles in Scotland to develop similar sporting properties. He's also tutored members of Britain's Royal family in the sport of shooting. Guests are given basic instruction and safety equipment before being handed Beretta over-under 20-gauge or .410-gauge shotguns and shepherded by instructors through the various shooting locations.
Fishing and boating at Reynolds Lake Oconee
Reynolds Lake Oconee has an estimated 433 pounds per acre of largemouth bass, white bass, bream, crappie and catfish – twice the fish population of a typical Georgia lake. Four full-service marinas and The Ritz-Carlton offer rentals of jet skis, ski boats, fishing boats, fishing tackle, fishing guides, canoes, kayaks and paddleboards. There's also tubing, water-biking and wakeboarding.

what were they packing. bloody bangers sausages...
it said residents said it was unsafe 4 yrs ago. no alarms or sprinklers. horrible
Wonder if it was gas explosion , feel for them people, what a horrible mess.
Awful. Some heart wrenching stories.People being told by the fire brigade to stay in their rooms and put a wet towel along the bottom of the door. Im not blaming the fire brigade. Some of them will have to live with giving that advice for the rest of their lives. Heard a few of them on LBC today bemoaning that they just dont have the resources. People jumping from windows. Unbelievable. And all avoidable. Thats the worst of it. There will be an enquiry. But nothing will ever come of it.

You are a very sick man
If it got recently fit out,they'll be a few gaffers of building outfits that had subbies on it having sleepless nights. Any corners cut with anything they'll be on a corporate manslaughter charge.
It's nothing to do with a Tory minister,
It got refurbed a year ago everything would have had to have been up to scratch to meet building regs, we have some of the most stringent building regs in the world, everything would have been up to standard, as with every other high rise building of that age around the country.
Things like sprinkler systems would have been advised if not Inforced to the landlords if it's a private building, we work on multi rise buildings rendering the outsides.
Political point scoring is just daft and not called for.
If it's a council building then the council are answerable.
It's the fireman that are heros, £600 quid a week for dealing with that, we earn more pushing plaster or render up walls.
owls said:
Its everything to do with a tory minister. He sat on a report that recommended they update the building regs as tower blocks like grenfall house were vulnerable to fire. Its a report that has never been acted upon. A report that was undertaken after the last tower block tragedy. Read the article before you make your sweeping judgements. Tit

Political point scoring. Really?
Dropsalot
I cannot imagine what the people in that building must have gone through. Jump........or.......burn .............is not much of a choice.
Yes really, you are sick individual. People have died today, lost there homes and treasured possessions.
We don't know how or why the fire started or spread so quick, and your just spouting utter rubbish. Sicko
Did they act on the reports recommendations?
Absolute sicko, finding posts on death funny
Any fire I've seen high rise flats round my way always seems to be contained to one level or couple of flats on a level?...
But what I seen of that one today it was burning like it was made out of cardboard and wood?...
Thought most tower blocks were of concrete construction?.... As owls said there will be a few people sleepless tonight.
Think it's already been said, but wasn't it refurbed and covered in ewi? Perhaps that stuff isn't flame retardant enough. Tragic turn of events. A baby thrown to safety, but what about mum? Doesn't bear thinking about.
All the shite we spout on here about this and that...............puts things into perspective.
Reactions: zolco
It's not political points scoring sounds more like your jumping to their defence, the place wasn't safe that's obvious and anyone living in similar will be shitting it. Obviously a case of no solid dabs but externally without the dabs, someone has took a short cut guaranteed and some one probably on a price. Seen it years ago my mate single skinning all the cupboard ceilings and I warmed him about a fire, there Wes a leak above one which brought it on top for him but lucky for him it was before they were finished.
Tit... I can live with, I've been called worse. I'm making sweeping judgements ...coming from you on here. I can't be bothered getting in some daft left wing right wing what ever wing you are with it argument, so I'll say no more on it. All I've read it as, is a terrible tragedy and your first post up about is refering it up to a Tory minister, I just think it's in poor taste.

I'm not jumping to anyone's defence, I'm mearly stating it from a building regs point of view, that was my only point.it was a 10 million refurb that would have been signed off at every stage by building control, fire control etc etc.id just like the facts to play out before media or individuals jump in blaming this and that.
Fair point, being in this game we all know there was a massive problem construction wise. I had an accident many years ago on a development of about 30 apartments, I was friends with the building inspector or in this case a member of a certain organisation who sign off most of the new builds. I asked him about the specific flat I had an accident in (I went through a floor that wasn't done properly) and had he passed it. His answer shocked me at the time and it was we don't check every flat we check one and treat the building as one i.e. Exit in and exit out.

They are now questioning the insulation on the new cladding which is a good point , not saying it started the fire but look how it spread , how fire resistant is some of these new external insulations ?
stiltwalker said:
I would say it was left out in parts causing the fire to travel quicker, the system must be fire safe (unless someone has been shopping in china for a similar product) so I recon short cuts.
Saw this this morning and it doesnt bear thinking about...
People on social media were saying that there were no fire/smoke alarms and people were going from room to room alerting neighbours... I did not realise it was a new build/renovation.... from the news stories I figure it was run down and needing renovation

They tarted the outside up to please the more well off residents that surround it, f**k the inside, someone is gonna pay big time.
As @flynnyman rightly pointed out, on large sites for new build or refurbs they aren't checked by building control. The site will have a representative who is employed by, or contracted to, the main contractor. They will carry out visual sampling inspections.
Anyone who's worked on large sites will have seen the sort of stuff that goes on. For example, any ducts, pipes or cables that travel between floors is supposed to have fire glands. But they're expensive and take time to fit. So they're sometimes only fitted where the inspector can see and left out elsewhere. If there is a fire like this and someone is sought to take the blame then there will be a run around and ultimately no one will actually get pinned down.
Wall ties in the recent Scottish school new builds for example. No one is taking the blame, and the local authorities are paying to put right work they paid for originally. That work was 'inspected' and signed off as meeting the standards.

They will look to share the blame and that will ultimately end up with a subby taking a share, they will just want to share one percent and that is their way of getting out of full responsibility.

Astro Toy With Rob Bricken: Taito Cutie Honey
by Rob Bricken, Aug 23rd 2009
CUTIE HONEY
Toyline: High Grade Real Figure
Series: Cutie Honey
By: Taito
Cost: $40-50
Sorry for the absence of Astro Toy in your lives last week, guys — I decided to take a small breather to recharge the ol' anime-toy-hating batteries. As it turns out, I'm lucky I did, because I hate the hell out of this week's feature toy, and I needed to be at the top of my game if I really want to express my loathing.
Let's start with a few basics — I dig Cutie Honey . Yes, she's partially responsible for the magical girl genre (not my thing, but I'm glad it's part of anime) and yes, she transforms from a sexy girl into a sexy superheroine by having her clothes fly off. It's not especially progressive, but since she was created by Devilman 's Go Nagai for teenage boys and not as a feminine role model and also still manages to be one of Nagai's least perverse creations, I really don't mind. Bottom line: Cutie Honey is naughty without being especially sleazy, and is still kind of a classic, an important character in the pantheon of manga and anime. So I dig her.
I also really like her design, whether it's Nagai's original manga…
…or the '80s anime OVAs that were so popular…
…or even the Hideaki Anno -directed live-action movie.
All of these versions of the iconic heroine have their charm. SO WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DOES THIS CUTIE HONEY STATUE LOOK LIKE THIS
Bleagh. Taito says this is a "High Grade Real Figure" but it doesn't look "real" to me, except maybe real ugly (Zing! And I seriously question the "High Grade" aspect as well). She's too realistic to be the anime or manga versions, but she doesn't look particularly real either. It looks more like Honey has tripped, fallen and broken her leg somewhere in the uncanny valley.
Same goes with the rest of her body. Now, I really feel bad saying this, as this is pretty much the first piece of anime girl merchandise that has anything close to realistic female body proportions, but… er… this statue is not that attractive. Her, er, proportions don't match any of the designs of the Honeys above; and it's not like Japan has ever cast a reasonably sized woman in any role, instead using whatever new girl the j-idol factory has churned out that week. I guess I should be pleased or proud or something, but this statue looks nothing like any Cutie Honey that's come before. And I seriously doubt that the sculptors would choose a statue of an anime character where her clothes are flying off to make the first bold stand for women's self-image issues anyways.
Thankfully (for my own psyche) that's hardly this Honey's only problem. See if you can tell what's wrong with this picture:
Now, it might be tough to tell in the picture, but the Cutie Honey logo is facing the viewer meaning that this is the front view of the statue. You are looking at her dead-on. And while this might offer the best view of her "realistic" chest as her clothes explode, I would venture to say that perhaps the statue shouldn't be obscuring her own entire head in her main pose. I'm honestly boggled, folks — I've never seen any other collectible, anime or otherwise, do this. Generally, most statues and figures screw up by being designing to only be appreciated from one angle. You're looking at a figure that can be appreciated from no angles.
This is the pose that appears in the figure's promotional material (check it out if you want to see what the figure they offered looks like, versus what I received), and while you can kind of see her face, it's not much better. Her torso and costume is mostly obscured behind herself, she's still holding her sword at an awkward angle, and she looks less like she's leaping heroically and more like she's trying to strike a pose but is about to fall over (which is pretty close to the truth). It's just pitiful all the way around, people.
And sadly, this is not the worst aspect of the Cutie Honey statue. You may have noted the price — $40-50 — and thought that it seemed a bit pricey, even by anime merchandise standards. Surely, even Japan wouldn't charge more than $20-25 for a figure this knowingly crappy, would they? The answer is no, they wouldn't.
But they'll happy charge you $20-25 apiece for two.
OH, INDEED. You can't buy this marvelously crappy Cutie Honey figure separately; no, you have to buy them in pairs, one the crappy colored one, and one of the same horrible @#$%ing statue in pure yellow plastic. It's everything you hated about the regular statue, but this time, it looks like it's made entirely of snot.
I would honestly rather have been beaten than to have spent money on this piece of @#$%, even though Anime News Network reimburses me for these reviews. I am appalled that I gave anyone who makes such a horrible @#$%ing toy —and then has the audacity to make a non-painted, one-color-plastic version, and forces people to buy them together — money. I'd much rather have kicked them in their junk. They are horrible, evil people, and they deserve jail time for this depravity. There's not even a basis in the anime for this horrible mucus color — the whole point of Honey undergoing her transformation is that she's naked. There should be laws against this kind of crap.
So. In summary: I hate the painted version of this figure, and I wish I could use the unpainted yellow version to beat its makers at Taito to death. And since this Honey has such "realistic" proportions — or as Krauser might put it, Honey's got back — I'm sure it wouldn't take me too long to create some kind of fatal head wound. She's got a good heft to her. It's a shame that that's her only good point.

In Virginia, what looks like a regular speeding ticket may be much more than points on your record.
If your speed was either 20 miles over the speed limit, or if you were speeding above 80 miles per hour, then your "speeding ticket" is likely a Virginia Uniform Summons for Reckless Driving. If you are charged with Reckless Driving, you are charged with a CRIME in Virginia. Reckless Driving is a Class 1 Misdemeanor under Virginia VA Code § 46.2-862 "Exceeding speed limit" – the same level of offense in Virginia as a DUI / DWI charge. That yellow ticket that you signed is actually an alternative version of an arrest for reckless driving. RECKLESS DRIVING ISN'T YOUR EVERYDAY SPEEDING TICKET.
Reckless Driving is a very serious offense and can result in serious consequences for purposes of civilian employment, getting into universities, government employment, obtaining / maintaining a security clearance, military (Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force) punishment, admission to a state bar, law enforcement / police officer employment, and immigration and naturalization, amongst others.
(4) up to a $2,500.00 fine.
While no one would plead guilty to a DUI / DWI (probably because it is a more popular or commercial crime) drivers unintentionally plead guilty to Reckless Driving, a crime of the same criminal magnitude as a DUI, on a much more frequent basis. Due to the serious nature of a VA Reckless Driving offense, it is important to fight the "ticket" for Reckless Driving in court, and not just pay it when you get home. By paying the Reckless Driving "ticket" before your court date, you are actually pleading guilty to the Class 1 Misdemeanor offense. The first thing that you should do after you get home is call a lawyer and discuss the details of your case. Your circumstances may make you eligible for various punishment reductions and charge reductions, and if you are really lucky, maybe even dismissal of the charge or a non-prosecution of the charge!
Another important factor about VA Reckless Driving is speeding along the GW Parkway in Alexandria, VA or any other Federal territory located in Virginia. Federal law punishes for Reckless Driving the way that it is defined in the Virginia code. The main difference is that the prosecutors in Federal Court in the Eastern District of Virginia (ED VA) is much more serious and having a Federal offense on your criminal record is considered more consequential for purposes of your criminal record. As stated before, first thing that you should do after you get home is call a lawyer and discuss the details of your case. Your circumstances may make you eligible for various punishment reductions and charge reductions, and if you are really lucky, maybe even dismissal of the charge or a non-prosecution of the charge!
Cypress v. Commonwealth 09/16/2010 In criminal proceedings remanded from the Supreme Court of the United States for consideration in light of Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, 557 U.S.
, 129 S.Ct. 2527 (2009), admission into evidence of certificates of chemical analysis pursuant to procedures set forth in former Code §§ 19.2-187 and 19.2-187.1, without presentation by the Commonwealth of testimony from the forensic analysts who prepared them, violated the defendants' rights secured by the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In one of the cases in this appeal the judgment of the Court of Appeals affirming the conviction is reversed, the conviction is vacated, and the case is remanded for a new trial if the Commonwealth be so advised. In the other case, the error was harmless and the judgment of the Court of Appeals upholding the convictions is affirmed.
Spencer v. City of Norfolk 04/21/2006 (Revised 04/21/2006) In a reckless driving case, the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to hear the appeal where a term of incarceration was imposed, and then suspended, by the trial court. On the merits, the evidence was insufficient to sustain a conviction where the record did not demonstrate that the defendant was speeding so as to endanger a person, disregarded the consequences of her acts, or was indifferent to the safety of others. The judgment is reversed and the case is dismissed.

Commonwealth 06/09/2000 The trial court erred in refusing to suppress certain evidence found during a search of a defendant who was detained by a deputy sheriff after a routine traffic stop without probable cause and without articulable suspicion for further investigation.

Code § 19.2-294.1 provides that "[w]henever any person is charged with [driving under the influence of alcohol] ․ and reckless driving growing out of the same act or acts and is convicted of one of these charges, the court shall dismiss the remaining charge." Dennis Vernon White was convicted in the circuit court, following a de novo appeal, of driving while under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in violation of Code § 18.2-266. White had previously pled guilty in the general district court to a speeding charge in violation of Code § 46.2-870 and Narrows Town Ordinance § 155-3 for driving at a speed of sixty miles per hour in a forty miles per hour zone. The speeding charge arose from the same course of driving that gave rise to the DUI conviction.
On appeal, White asserts that the DUI prosecution and conviction were barred by the speeding conviction because, under Code § 46.2-862, the speeding conviction constituted a conviction for reckless driving. Code § 46.2-862 provides that "a person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle ․ (iii) at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of ․ the applicable maximum speed limit[ ] [of] forty miles per hour or more." Thus, White contends, the provisions of Code § 19.2-294.1 required the circuit court to dismiss the DUI charge because he had already pled guilty and been convicted of an offense that is by statute deemed reckless driving. We disagree and affirm the DUI conviction.
"Where the language of a statute is clear and unambiguous, we are bound by the plain statement of legislative intent." Commonwealth v. Meadows, 17 Va.App. 624, 626, 440 S.E.2d 154, 155 (1994); see also Long v. Commonwealth, 7 Va.App. 503, 506, 375 S.E.2d 368, 369 (1988) ("If the language of a statute is plain and unambiguous ․, effect must be given to it regardless of what courts think of its wisdom or policy."). We must "take the words as written" in Code § 19.2-294.1 and give them their plain meaning. Birdsong Peanut Co. v. Cowling, 8 Va.App. 274, 277, 381 S.E.2d 24, 26 (1989).
Under the plain and unambiguous terms of Code § 19.2-294.1, one may not be "charged" and "convicted" of both DUI and "reckless driving." A conviction of either DUI or reckless driving, whether in simultaneous or successive prosecutions, requires dismissal of the other charge if the other charge arose from the same act or acts. Cf. Hall v. Commonwealth, 14 Va.App. 892, 900, 421 S.E.2d 455, 461 (1992) (en banc) (holding that Virginia's double jeopardy statute, Code § 19.2-294, prohibits multiple convictions for separate offenses arising out of same act, except where convictions obtained in single prosecution). However, reckless driving and speeding are separate and distinct offenses.
Reckless driving is chargeable and punishable under the provisions of Article 7 in the Motor Vehicle Code chapter on the regulation of traffic. Reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor, Code § 46.2-868, carrying with it the potential for a twelve month jail sentence and a fine of not more than $2,500. See Code § 18.2-1(a). Speeding, on the other hand, is chargeable and punishable under the provisions of Article 8 of the same chapter and is a traffic infraction punishable merely by a fine. See Rule 3B:2.1 Nothing in the language of Code § 19.2-294.1 precludes the Commonwealth or a locality from convicting a person for both DUI and "speeding." If the legislature had intended to foreclose a person from being convicted for both DUI and another offense that might also constitute reckless driving, as argued by appellant, it could have expressed that intent in the language of Code § 19.2-294.1. Under the express provisions of Code § 19.2-294.1, only a "conviction " for reckless driving bars a prosecution for DUI; a conviction for speeding, even if premised on an underlying act that may have warranted a conviction for reckless driving, does not implicate the bar of the statute.
Under appellant's proposed construction of the statute, a person who drives between one and nineteen miles per hour over the speed limit while intoxicated could be convicted of both speeding and DUI, whereas the same intoxicated person driving twenty miles per hour over the speed limit could only be convicted of either reckless driving or DUI. Appellant would have us construe Code § 19.2-294.1 in a way that would enable the intoxicated driver who minimally exceeded the posted speed limit to be punished more severely than the intoxicated driver who drove at a more excessive rate of speed. We decline to construe the statute in a way which would lead to such an anomalous result. See Shull v. Commonwealth, 16 Va.App. 667, 670, 431 S.E.2d 924, 925 (1993) ( "A statute should not be construed so that it leads to absurd results."). We hold that the provisions of Code § 19.2-294.1 do not bar the Commonwealth from convicting a person for DUI after the person was convicted of speeding, even where the charges arose out of the same course of driving and the act of speeding could have given rise to a charge and conviction for reckless driving under Code § 46.2-862.
In the present case, appellant was charged and convicted for "speeding" under a town ordinance incorporating Code § 46.2-870. He was not "convicted" of reckless driving. Cf. Harris v. City of Virginia Beach, 19 Va.App. 214, 217, 450 S.E.2d 401, 403 (1994) (defendant was charged and convicted of driving under the influence and "reckless driving"). Although the Commonwealth could have prosecuted appellant for reckless driving under Article 7 provisions for that offense, it chose instead to prosecute him on the offense of speeding under Article 8. See Spickard v. City of Lynchburg, 174 Va. 502, 505, 6 S.E.2d 610, 611 (1940) ("The same facts may constitute two or more distinct offenses, different in kind as well as in degree."); see also Kauffmann v. Commonwealth, 8 Va.App. 400, 410, 382 S.E.2d 279, 284 (1989) ("It is well established that the choice of offenses for which a criminal defendant will be charged is within the discretion of the [prosecutor]."). Accordingly, the Commonwealth was not precluded from convicting appellant for both DUI and speeding for driving sixty miles per hour in a forty miles per hour zone. We affirm the DUI conviction.
1. A conviction for reckless driving based on speeding also carries with it the additional sanction that the trial judge may suspend an operator's license for a period of not more than six months. Code § 46.2-393.
LASH v. COUNTY OF HENRICO.
A rehearing en banc was granted in this appeal from a decision of the panel in which there was a dissent. The appeal is from convictions of reckless driving and eluding a police officer arising out of a single series of events. The defendant contends that, while he is guilty of one of the offenses, conviction of the other is barred by Code § 19.2-294. We conclude that, because conviction for each offense was based on acts separate and distinct from those involved in the other offense, Code § 19.2-294 does not apply. Therefore, we affirm.
The charges against the defendant arose out of a traffic stop. A Henrico County police officer stopped the defendant and issued him a summons for driving on defective tires and for failing to have a front license plate. The officer told the defendant that his automobile was unsafe and that he would have to park it. The defendant responded by telling the officer that he could not tell him what to do, ran back to his vehicle, and drove away. When he left, he accelerated so quickly that his automobile left sixty to seventy feet of tire marks on the highway.
A high speed chase followed. The officer, using his siren and blue lights, followed the defendant at speeds of sixty to seventy miles per hour in a posted thirty-five mile per hour speed zone. Finally, the defendant drove through a red stop signal and into a supermarket parking lot where he drove through the lot at speeds of thirty to forty miles per hour. Upon apprehending the defendant, the officer charged him with eluding a police officer and reckless driving.
The County argues that the defendant is barred under Rule 5A:18 from asserting on appeal that the provisions of Code § 19.2-294 bar his conviction of both offenses. At trial, the defendant moved to strike the evidence of the two offenses or, "in the alternative, requested that the court merge the two offenses into one violation." In this appeal, the defendant, while not referring to Code § 19.2-294 in his brief, argued that the trial court impermissibly convicted him of reckless driving and eluding a police officer based on the same act.
Rule 5A:18, a codification of the contemporaneous objection rule, prohibits a ruling of a trial court from being the basis of a reversal unless an objection is stated "together with the grounds therefor at the time of the ruling, except for good cause shown or to enable the Court of Appeals to obtain the ends of justice." Rule 5A:18. The goal of this rule is "to avoid unnecessary appeals, reversals and mistrials by allowing the trial judge to intelligently consider an issue and, if necessary, to take corrective action." Campbell v. Commonwealth, 12 Va.App. 476, 480, 405 S.E.2d 1, 2 (1991) (en banc). Judicial economy is the product of Rule 5A:18.
The contemporaneous objection rule requires only that a party inform the trial court of the action it wishes the court to take or its objection to the action of the court and the "grounds therefor." Code § 8.01-384; see also Rule 5A:18; Campbell v. Commonwealth, 12 Va.App. at 480, 405 853*853 S.E.2d at 2. This rule does not prohibit reliance on statutes or cases not presented to the trial court to support, on appeal, a position otherwise adequately presented at trial. R. Martineau, Modern Appellate Practice § 3.8 (1983). Nor does it prevent this Court, on its own initiative, from relying on statutory or judicial authority that was not presented to the trial court or referred to in the briefs submitted by the parties. See id. at § 3.9.
, 112 S.Ct. 388, 116 L.Ed.2d 339 (1991). Consequently, the contemporaneous objection rule does not prevent us from considering the application of Code § 19.2-294 in determining if the defendant's conviction of reckless driving bars his conviction of eluding a police officer. Therefore, we will address the application of Code § 19.2-294 to this case.
If the "same act" is a violation of two or more statutes, conviction under one of the statutes is "a bar to a prosecution or proceeding under the other." Code § 19.2-294. This prohibition is dependent upon "the identity of the act." Jones v. Commonwealth, 218 Va. 757, 760, 240 S.E.2d 658, 661 (1978) (larceny of an automobile in which to escape from robbery is not "same act" as robbery), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 892, 99 S.Ct. 249, 58 L.Ed.2d 238 (1978). If the statutory violations involve different acts, the prohibition is not applicable. Id. at 761, 240 S.E.2d at 661. The prohibition only "forbids multiple prosecution of offenses springing from the same criminal act." Id. Thus, if two offenses involve "two separate and distinct acts" conviction of one does not bar a prosecution for the other. Id.; Fitzgerald v. Commonwealth, 11 Va.App. 625, 628, 401 S.E.2d 208, 210-11, aff'd. on reh'g en banc, 13 Va.App. 281, 411 S.E.2d 228 (1991).
Code § 19.2-294.1 and Code § 19.2-294 are different. Code § 19.2-294.1 provides that if a person is charged with driving while intoxicated and reckless driving, both "growing out of the same act or acts," a conviction of one of the charges, requires dismissal of the remaining charge. This provision deals only with the offenses of driving while intoxicated and reckless driving; it applies to no other criminal offenses. Id. This statute is applicable where these two offenses grow "out of the same act or acts." Id. "[T]he same act or 854*854 acts" means the act "of driving" and contemplates "a continuous, uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle." Padgett v. Commonwealth, 220 Va. 758, 761, 263 S.E.2d 388, 389-90 (1980) (per curiam).
Code § 19.2-294, on the other hand, applies to violation of any two or more statutes, not just driving while intoxicated and reckless driving. It is applicable only if "the same act" is a violation of two or more statutes, not to offenses "growing out of the same act or acts." Code § 19.2-294. Furthermore, Code § 19.2-294 does not contemplate "a continuous, uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle." Code § 19.2-294; see also Fitzgerald, 11 Va.App. at 629, 401 S.E.2d at 211.
In this case, at least two separate and distinct acts supported the two different offenses with which the defendant was charged and convicted. The manner in which the defendant drove away from the police officer and the manner in which he drove through the red traffic signal and through the supermarket parking lot were acts upon which the charge of reckless driving could have been based. The defendant's failure to stop in response to the police officer's flashing light and siren after he drove away and before he reached the supermarket intersection was a separate and distinct act upon which the offense of eluding a police officer was based. Therefore, because two or more separate and distinct acts constituted two or more offenses, Code § 19.2-294 is not a bar to the prosecution of either offense. Having so concluded, we need not address whether Code § 19.2-294 applies to multiple convictions in a single trial.
The convictions are, therefore, affirmed. Affirmed.
KOONTZ, Chief Judge, with whom BENTON, Judge, joins, dissenting.
The "act" which led to Lash's convictions of reckless driving and eluding a police officer was driving his vehicle on March 9, 1989 in one distinct, "continuous, uninterrupted course of [operating his] motor vehicle" bounded closely in terms of place and time. See Padgett v. Commonwealth, 220 Va. 758, 761, 263 S.E.2d 388, 389-90 (1980). The majority concludes, however, that Lash committed "at least two separate and distinct acts" which constituted two statutory offenses and, thus, that Code § 19.2-294 is not a bar to the convictions for both offenses. In my view, to reach this conclusion the majority has focused on the elements of the offenses charged against Lash rather than on the "act" or conduct of Lash. Because, on the facts of this particular case, this approach defeats the plain meaning and intent of Code § 19.2-294, I respectfully dissent.
In the original panel decision in this case, reported Lash v. County of Henrico, 13 Va.App. 251, 410 S.E.2d 689 (1991), I reviewed the legislative history of Code §§ 19.2-294 and 19.2-294.1 and the principal prior cases that have interpreted and applied these Code sections. I will not repeat that review here. However, because the majority compares and distinguishes these Code sections and, specifically, holds that "Code § 19.2-294 does not contemplate `a continuous, uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle'" as the basis for its conclusion that this Code section is not applicable to this case, I will emphasize here a portion of my prior discussion. In doing so, I contend that the proper analysis of a Code § 19.2-294 claim requires that a court focus on the "act" or conduct of the accused as established by the facts, rather than on the elements of the offenses charged against the accused.
It is conceivable for a person under the influence of intoxicants to drive properly. Many people not under the influence of intoxicants drive recklessly. A test of the identity of acts or offenses is whether the same evidence is required to sustain them; if not, then the fact that several charges relate to and grow out of one transaction or occurrence does not make a single act or offense where two separate acts or offenses are defined by statute, as in the instant case.
In Estes v. Commonwealth, 212 Va. 23, 181 S.E.2d 622 (1971), the Court held that the predecessor to Code § 19.2-294 was not a bar to convictions for driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license arising from the same occurrence of driving. The Court found that the defendant's driving constituted separate acts that supported his convictions of separate offenses because he could be convicted of driving under the influence without evidence of the suspension of his license and vice versa. Id. at 24-25, 181 S.E.2d at 624. Implicit in the Court's analysis is a focus on the elements of the offenses charged rather than the act or conduct of the accused.
Standing alone, Estes supports the elements of the offenses analysis adopted by the majority in the present case. However, in Padgett, decided subsequent to Estes, the Court held that the language, "same act or acts," contained in Code § 19.2-294.1 means "the same act or acts of driving" and contemplates "a continuous, uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle." Padgett, 220 Va. at 761, 263 S.E.2d at 389-90. In that case, the defendant was charged with reckless driving in Lynchburg and driving while intoxicated in Bedford following a high speed chase by the police which began in the former jurisdiction and ended in the latter. The Court held that 856*856 the defendant's conviction for the Lynchburg offense was a bar to his subsequent conviction for the Bedford offense. Significantly, the Court rejected the Commonwealth's assertion that because the Lynchburg reckless driving charge required proof of venue different from the venue required to sustain the Bedford driving while intoxicated charge, the two charges did not grow out of the "same act." Moreover, the Court acknowledged that under a constitutional double jeopardy claim, both convictions would stand because the Lynchburg charge could have been established without proof that the defendant was intoxicated and the Bedford charge could have been sustained without proof that the defendant drove recklessly. Cf. Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299, 52 S.Ct. 180, 76 L.Ed. 306 (1932); see also Grady v. Corbin, 495 U.S. 508, 110 S.Ct. 2084, 109 L.Ed.2d 548 (1990).
Hundley and Estes illustrate the particular difficulty in applying Code § 19.2-294 to cases in which the "act" involved is the operation of a motor vehicle. Obviously, the act of driving a motor vehicle inherently involves the movement of the vehicle in terms of time and space and affords the possibility of multiple offenses occurring in that process. Thus, in the present case, the majority is able, as with an imaginary stop watch and high speed camera, to isolate portions of Lash's act of driving into separate acts such as " the manner in which he drove away from the officer, and  the manner in which he drove through the red traffic signal and  through the supermarket" to support a reckless driving charge and also Lash's " failure to stop in response to the police officer's flashing light and siren" during that process to support the offense of eluding a police officer. The majority has focused on particular parts of Lash's continuous and uninterrupted act of driving and determined that these support separate offenses. Factually, however, Lash's conduct is not divisible into distinct separate acts of driving. The majority then essentially applies the traditional double jeopardy claim test of whether one offense requires proof of a fact which another offense does not require. Under that test, Lash could be convicted of reckless driving without proof that he eluded a police officer and he could be convicted of eluding a police officer without proof that he drove recklessly. However, this is not the test applicable to a Code § 19.2-294 claim. Our Supreme Court in Jones v. Commonwealth, 218 Va. 757, 240 S.E.2d 658, cert. denied, 435 U.S. 909, 98 S.Ct. 1459, 55 L.Ed.2d 500 (1978), clearly distinguished the analysis applicable to constitutional double jeopardy claims from the analysis applicable to Code § 19.2-294 claims. There, both claims were asserted. The Court upheld the defendant's convictions of robbery involving larceny of money and grand larceny of an automobile involving the same victim and arising from one incident at a motel. The Court stated: "[I]f the offenses are different and one is not lesser-included in the other, the constitutional guarantee [established in Blockburger] does not apply. If the acts are different, the statutory mandate [of Code § 19.2-294] does not apply." Id. at 760-61, 240 S.E.2d at 661 (citations omitted). Accord Wade v. Commonwealth, 9 Va.App. 359, 365, 388 S.E.2d 277, 280 (1990) (holding that Code § 19.2-294 "speaks to `acts' of the accused, not elements of the offense").
The present appeal illustrates that the distinction between the constitutional claim analysis and the statutory claim analysis may be critical to the proper determination of a Code § 19.2-294 claim on the facts of a particular case. In my view, Jones and Padgett provide the guidance for the proper resolution of Lash's statutory claim. Jones, decided after Estes, unequivocally requires an analysis of the act or conduct of the accused to determine the merits of a Code § 19.2-294 claim. Thus, Jones has, at least implicitly, overruled Estes, which used an element of the offense analysis in a Code § 19.2-294 claim. Padgett is consistent with Jones. Moreover, while Padgett involved a Code § 19.2-294.1 claim, I find no reason to distinguish its analysis of "the same act or acts" language of that Code section from the analysis of "the same act" language of Code § 19.2-294. Certainly nothing in the legislative history 857*857 or the language of either statute suggests a distinction. For these reasons, I disagree with the majority's determination that "Code § 19.2-294 does not contemplate `a continuous, uninterrupted course of operation of a motor vehicle.'" When the act or conduct of Lash is viewed with the Jones and Padgett focus, it amounts to a single, continuous and unaltered act of dangerous driving in defiance of Officer Count's command to park the car. Despite the fact that Officer Counts pursued Lash with his siren and blue lights in operation, Lash's conduct remained continuous and unaltered. Though Lash's conduct amounts to both reckless driving and eluding a police officer, his conduct giving rise to both offenses flowed from the "same act" and, therefore, can support only one conviction in accordance with Code § 19.2-294.
I do not suggest that Code § 19.2-294 affords a blanket bar to multiple convictions where one occurrence of driving a motor vehicle is involved. The determination of whether the conduct of an accused amounts to "the same act" as contemplated by Code § 19.2-294 is a factual determination and will rest upon the facts of a particular case. In my view, the facts of the present case suggest only one "act" of driving.
Although the majority does not reach the issue of whether Code § 19.2-294 applies to multiple convictions obtained in a single trial, in my view, that is the dispositive issue in Lash's case. For the reasons that I have expressed in the panel opinion, Lash, 13 Va.App. at 259-61, 410 S.E.2d at 694-95, I would hold that this Code section applies to multiple convictions obtained in a single trial as well as to multiple convictions obtained in consecutive trials.
Accordingly, I would reverse the decision below and remand the case with directions that the trial court impose sentence in only one of the two convictions and dismiss the other.

What Is the Definition of Coercion
He argued that coercion was necessary; This crime could not be crushed in Ireland, but by the strong arm of the law. Different forms of coercion are distinguished: on the one hand, according to the nature of the harm threatened, on the other hand, according to its objectives and extent, and finally according to its effects, on which its legal, social and ethical effects depend mainly depend. Of course, if coercion defies what is necessary, there is no forced action to investigate, nor to answer a question about responsibility for such action. There is also reason to doubt that what the need has done in such cases meets the bar at which we should regard this as a constraint. (If a threat is trivial, we would probably refuse to say that an officer was coerced by it, even if he is acting to prevent it from being executed.) On the other hand, it may be unwise to make a categorical distinction between cases where coercion succeeds and cases where it fails: the difference between them on certain occasions may be nothing more than the state of mind in which the coercion was at that time. Since the coercive has the last and final say on whether he will carry out coercive measures (and who will be mandated by him), it may be more logical to identify our phenomenon of interest with a particular form of coercive activity and to admit that this activity may or may not have other notable consequences. (Potential coercion can, of course, bluff, and potential coercion can call for bluffing; that alone would give no reason to deny that we have an example of the technique studied here.) Edmundson`s critique of the canonical view of the state as coercion reveals a deeper root of some disagreements about coercion. In fact, Edmundson provides a reason to question how special or important coercion is. Coercion may require certain actions, but people in any natural world will be limited by necessities of all kinds: the physical limits of our bodies in our environment and our needs for things like food, shelter, shelter, and perhaps even community, gratitude, and love. Being forced adds or changes in some way what you need to do. But being subject to coercive law could also offer greater opportunities or freedom from necessity, as criminal law arguably does, at least if properly formulated and applied. [27] If just laws offer us protection from wrongdoers while leaving us free to commit any morally justified act (provided that the criminal law prohibits only unjust acts), then the threat of use of force by law against offenders may not merit special consideration.
Rather, we could see it as a change, regularization, and rationalization of the necessities to which man is subjected anyway. Edmundson and those with whom he argues can all agree that coercion for illegal purposes is a matter of moral importance and a reason for special scrutiny and opposition. What Edmundson shows is that moralized approaches to coercion make it difficult to understand why the technique itself and the agents who can use it deserve particular attention. In the next section, we will examine how coercion is supposed to interfere with freedom, which has obvious ethical implications for its own sake. Therefore, the treatment of these types of ethical issues is postponed to this point. This section addresses more fundamental questions about whether coercion is inherently wrong and what might be wrong with it other than its effects on freedom or autonomy. One way to identify coercive threats is to look for a distinct way in which pressure can influence the will for coercion. Sometimes the use of threats, which depend on the agent`s activities, can affect not only the choice of coercion, but also his ability to choose. Under intense psychological pressure, in the face of serious danger or significant harm, people sometimes react in a way that deviates from (or at least does not follow) their more rational and deliberate desires. Harry Frankfurt seems to make this a prerequisite for what is considered coercion, saying: "A threat of coercion arouses in its victim a desire – that is, to avoid punishment – so strongly that it will induce him to perform the required action, whether he wants or deems it appropriate" (Frankfurt 1988 [1973], 78). Frankfurt has several reasons for insisting on this strong requirement, but perhaps the most central is its view that coercion must have such an overwhelming effect if it is to outweigh the moral responsibility for coercion to action (Frankfurt 1988 [1973], 75-76).
However, treating these excessive demands as a sufficient condition for coercion again supports the view that some – irresistible – offers will also turn out to be coercion. Although the fact that Q`s will was exaggerated seems consistent with the claim that Q was coerced, few people, with the exception of Frankfurt, considered such an overload a necessary condition for coercion. [14] As mentioned above, there are a number of coercion reports that insist that coercion is a violation of the law or other normative defect, of which Alan Wertheimer`s coercion is the most important. But if coercion is necessarily an immoral action, then it is difficult to explain how an act of coercion can be considered justified. [26] Among other implications, this view is in clear contradiction with the traditional approach to coercion, which treats states as paradigmatic, even necessarily as users of coercion. As William Edmundson pointed out (and as Nozick noted in 1969), while the state has the right to punish wrongdoers, it does not threaten when it threatens to aggravate them to what they should be (Edmundson, 1995 and 1998, chaps. 4-6). In an approach to coercion that insists that it is an immoral activity, the use of police powers by the state to enforce the law is not coercion. This kind of state coercion of speaking and acting seems to suit the freedom-conservative crowd. Another way to understand coercion is to stop focusing on its effects on coercion. Some approaches, as McGregors mentioned above, seek coercion within coercion by exploiting certain types of power differences between coercion and coercion.
Others identify coercion with threat formulation, but try to distinguish threats from offers in a way that avoids reference to a baseline, and instead examine the qualities of the coercive device and its activities. Mitchell Berman, following Vinit Haksar, argued for an approach whose essence is that immoral coercive threats suggest something that would be immoral if implemented. (See Berman, 2002; Haksar, 1976.) (Berman apparently offers no definition of coercion per se, but only of unlawful coercion.) Instead, Grant Lamond focuses on the deliberate attempt of coercion to exert pressure to change coercive activities, which stems from the intention to deliberately push back on the interests of coercion.

it runs the Test files.  If I replace the files with

// or
<directory>unit/api/2</directory>
// or
<directory>unit/api/2/*</directory>
// or
<directory>unit/api/2/*Test.php</directory>
// or
<directory suffix="Test.php">unit/api/2</directory>

It simply says: No tests executed!
Please, what could be wrong?
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, php 5.3.10, phpunit 3.7.16

A: Where in you path relative to the unit directory is the phpunit.xml file?
if your path looks anything like this:
projectroot
|- phpunit.xml
|- unit/
   |- api/

You could try setting the directory to the following in phpunit.xml:
<directory>./unit</directory>

And then run phpunit from root like this: phpunit -c phpunit.xml
If that doesn't work, something else is wrong. What happens if you run this:
phpunit ./unit/api/2

If no tests are being run then, please answer the following questions:

*

*maybe your methods in the testcases don't start with 'test'?

*Do all testcase files end with Test.php?

*Do all testcase classes extend PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase?

*Do all testcase classnames end with 'Test'?

A: PHPUnit defaults to the suffix Test.php, which isn't obvious.
If your tests use another suffix (e.g. TestUser.php or /test/User.php, instead of UserTest.php), the test will be skipped.
This default can be overwritten using the --test-suffix flag on the CLI:
phpunit --test-suffix _test.php

or with the suffix attribute in the XML configuration:
<include>
    <directory suffix="_test.php">src</directory>
</include>

Sources:

*

*PHPUnit: The Command-Line Test Runner

*PHPUnit: The XML Configuration File

A: This might depend a little bit on the version of Phpunit.
I could get it to work with two more older ones (3.7.22 and 3.7.38) but had a similar problem earlier. Here is my solution:
I first had the directory configured wrong:
    <testsuites>
            <testsuite name="Default">
                    <directory>/tests</directory>
            </testsuite>
    </testsuites>

As you can see in this wrong example, it's prefixed with a slash ("/"). Removing that slash results in the following XML excerpt that is working fine then:
    <testsuites>
            <testsuite name="Default">
                    <directory>tests</directory>
            </testsuite>
    </testsuites>

Ensure the directory is not prefixed with a slash and that it exists. The existence part is crucial, because the Phpunit testrunner will not display na error message if it does not exists. You will only see that no tests are executed.

No tests executed!

Taking what you have in your question as an example:

*

*<directory>unit</directory>: It fails because the directory does not exists (you think it does, I know, but it fails if the directory does not exists, Phpunit is not lying to you).

*<directory>unit/api/2</directory>: If it fails, it fails because the directory does not exists (you think it does, I know, but it fails if the directory does not exists, Phpunit is not lying to you).

*<directory>unit/api/2/*</directory>: This will always fail because the directory does not exists. Most file-systems do not allow to use the "*" character in directory- and file-names.

*<directory>unit/api/2/*Test.php</directory>: Same here, this is not a valid directory name, it fails because the directory does not exists.

*<directory suffix="Test.php">unit/api/2</directory>: If it fails, it fails because the directory does not exists (you think it does, I know, but it fails if the directory does not exists, Phpunit is not lying to you). Additionally the suffix parameter with the value "Test.php" is superfluous because this is the default suffix. As it is superfluous, this is cruft and you should remove it from the XML file.

No software is without bugs and this naturally applies to Phpunit as well, but you should first of all consider that Phpunit is not lying to you in the first place.
I for myself had not problems with the two versions documented after I corrected the directory configuration. Your mileage may vary. This applies to the points 1, 2 and 5 specifically: From your question it looks like those directories do exist, but from the description you give and what is the Phpunit behaviour I can see, those directories do not exist.
Points 3 and 4 should be clear, they simply do not work because you put wildcards into the directory name which was meant to describe a concrete path not to hint that wildcard usage was intended / allowed. You can find this point outlined as well in a previous Q&A question: Attempting to run Phpunit with a configuration XML file results in exception.

The information in this answer is based on

HITMAN 3: we tested the game and it's already very convincing!
January 8, 2021 by Business
After a half-hearted "Absolution" episode, the Hitman series found the near-perfect recipe with the 2016 reboot: extremely vast levels, varied environments, and multiple ways to Agent 47 to achieve his ends, infiltration obviously remaining the royal road. Hitman 2 confirmed the success in 2018, and it is now Hitman 3's turn to conclude the trilogy in style. This is in any case what we are perfectly entitled to hope given the quality of the first two missions of the game.
As you can see, the preview version made available to us by IO Interactive gives us access for the moment to the first two destinations of the adventure. But also at all levels of Hitman and Hitman 2, and for good reason! As was the case during the passage to the second episode, certain graphics or gameplay improvements are applied retroactively to the previous sections. Not only is the trilogy aspect reinforced, but the players thus have an additional reason to dive back into past missions. Among the new features brought by this third opus are better management of brightness and atmospheric effects, as well as the presence of a camera. The latter allows for example to scan electronic devices to unlock passages, or to observe a corpse in order to obtain more information on the circumstances of its death. These are the two major interactions that we have been able to observe for the moment, but this tool also has a more generic use since apart from the scripted use, it also gives access to a small photo mode. You manage the zoom, depth of field and "insta" filters, from Hitman's first mission to Hitman 3's last!
The destinations of this new episode also have a whole new system of shortcuts. These are generally folded ladders, which can only be unlocked from above. Once a detour has been found and this operation carried out, the path becomes accessible in both directions for all future parties. Another important point concerns the cutscenes, which are back "for real" this time. Recall that the second episode had unfortunately swapped most of the animated sequences for a succession of rather disappointing still shots. No such meanness this time around! The developers seem to have put the small dishes in the big ones, to such an extent that the first level of the game takes us squarely to Dubai, for the inauguration of the Scepter, the tallest building in the world! This building literally has its head in the clouds, and it is therefore by parachuting that Agent 47 approaches it. If the mission turns out to be relatively classic on the merits, it does not hesitate to put it in our eyes. Realistic reflections on the windows (without having to activate any RTX option…), dazzling rays of the sun, hot air balloons visible in the sky, abundant golden decorations and other throwing confetti are very pleasant to observe.
THE MANOR OF THE OLD DEAD
If one of the intrigues of Dubai makes it possible to eliminate very quickly our two targets (by bringing them to participate in a private meeting), the second mission turns out to be much longer. It takes place in a mansion located in England, which will bring back fond memories to players who have walked Hitman Contracts in the past. Here too the house houses several secret passages, while holes in the walls allow you to spy on what is happening in certain rooms. But the most interesting and original aspect of this mission comes from one of the ways of getting through it. Following a questionable death, Agent 47 can turn into a detective and question different inhabitants of the house to verify their alibi. It almost feels like a Sherlock Holmes adventure game even if, of course, this path is not compulsory. It is still possible to complete the mission in a more classic way, by infiltrating using multiple disguises, causing accidents, climbing gutters or even, if you really didn't understand the Hitmans, by drawing weapons and shooting in the heap.
Our level of expectation
If it remains faithful to the first two episodes of the trilogy, this third part therefore seems to want to innovate at times. Is this search for originality in the gameplay one-off and reserved for the second mission of the adventure, or do the other levels also offer their share of surprises? It is still too early to comment on this point, but we will be sure to detail all of this in the final test. The latter should not be too late since the game is scheduled for release on January 20. Six different destinations will be offered to us, including not only Dubai and Dartmoor, but also Berlin and Chongqing. Agent 47 will show us around the country again and we can't wait to get on board with him!
