Rosen Helps Introduce Equality Act in the Senate
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) helped introduce the Equality Act, which explicitly prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in education, employment, housing, credit, jury service, public accommodations, and the use of federal funds. The legislation amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Jury Selection and Services Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Rosen supported the House companion to the Equality Act last Congress.
"Despite the progress we've made, members of the LGBTQ community are still not fully protected by our country's current anti-discrimination laws," said Senator Rosen. "From revoking discrimination protections for transgender children in public schools to attempting to render the LGBTQ community invisible in the census, this legislation will help close the legal loopholes that allow for discrimination to take place in the first place. I proudly supported the Equality Act in the House and am supporting this legislation in the Senate so that we can create more open, loving, and tolerant communities for all."
BACKGROUND: Senator Rosen has been a staunch ally of LGBTQ Americans since coming to Congress, receiving perfect scores from the Human Rights Campaign each year she has been in office. In addition to co-sponsoring the Equality Act, in the House Senator Rosen was an original co-sponsor of legislation to prohibit the advertising and practice of for-profit LGBTQ conversion therapy and a bill placing sanctions on foreign individuals complicit in human rights abuses against members of the LGBTQ community. She was also a co-sponsor of the Do No Harm Act (H.R. 3222), which would ensure that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act cannot be used as a shield to allow companies to discriminate against individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.


Winning Form brings you their best tips for Kenilworth's racing on Saturday the 1st of December 2018. Tips provided by Winning Form, as well as their back page tipster - Magic Tips by eMeM.
VIKRAM has improved smartly with each start but was perhaps moved on too soon when pipped by a decent sort over this trip last time out. The 3rd placed entrant Ladder Man boosted that formline with a smart subsequent triumph and this Gimmethegreenlight gelding can go one better.
QUEST had a below-par first showing on the city track but would have gained from the experience and the promising gelding can bounce straight back. He is certainly one worth following.
A tricky six horse handicap for fillies and mares where the natural pacesetter ROCK ON WOOD is expect- ed to make all. Of course she was nabbed late in her last two starts but she is 1kg better off with recent conqueror SUMMER OLIMPICS for that neck defeat. She should reverse the form of her penultimate run with KAWAKAMI on the 1.5kgs favourable weight reversal.
The four-year old RUSH HOUR GIRL has found her form in recent starts and the c & d specialist is well- handicapped with her younger counterparts today. That said, it is worth noting that the three-year old impressive recent maiden winner ALMOST CAPTURED finished her c & d event in a far superior time than the top selection who campaigned a few hours later. The lightly raced daughter of Captain Al does concede 2.5kgs to the first selection though.
This is a tricky handicap despite the betting market suggesting otherwise and an upset in the form of likely pacesetter MISS D' ARAY could be on the cards. The bay mare is better than her moderate last mile showing behind Summer Olimpics (runs in race 6) and she was caught late by stronger rivals in her penultimate start. She could enjoy a soft lead in this small field on her peak run.

Week 15 NFL picks
Eric Hartline/USA TODAY Sports
Ah, remember Week 1, when the Eagles were Super Bowl contenders heading into their matchup with Washington?
For the gambling degenerates, here are my Week 15 NFL picks. To note, the team logos indicate who I think will win the game, not cover the spread. At the end of the picks, I'll note a few teams that I like based on the spread.
Jets at Ravens (-15.5): It's setting up nicely for the Ravens to clinch home field advantage throughout the playoffs, after the Patri*ts lost to the Chiefs on Sunday. The Ravens get a speed bump Thursday home game against the already dead Jets, then a couple extra days of rest for their road date in Cleveland Week 16. If they win those two games, they can rest their starters Week 17, get a bye in the wildcard round, and then play a flawed team like the Texans, Bills, Steelers, or Titans in the divisional round. They are the clear Super Bowl favorites right now.
Recap: Eagles chat with Jimmy Kempski
Eagles vs. Washington: Five matchups to watch
Eagles power ranking roundup: Week 15
Eagles (-4.5) at Washington: For the third straight week, the Eagles will face a truly terrible team. Offensively, Washington has a good young receiver in Terry McLaurin, aaaaand, that's it. Otherwise, they have a turnover-prone rookie quarterback, a bad offensive line, a 34-year-old running back, and a pair of tight ends on IR. Defensively, Washington will be without its best player, Ryan Kerrigan.
Still, it's not as if the Eagles are good either. They lost to the then 2-9 Dolphins two weeks ago, and needed Carson Wentz to put the team on his back to beat the then 2-10 Giants in overtime Monday night.
The Eagles should cover the 4.5-point spread, just as they should have smoked the Dolphins and Giants the last two weeks. Alas, I don't even trust them to bury teams that can't wait for this season to just be over. I do think that they'll get the job done, but it won't be aesthetically pleasing.
Patri*ts (-8.5) at Bengals: So it appears that the alibis that the Patri*ts are going with for their illegal taping of the Bengals' sideline last Sunday are the following:
Bill Belichick knew nothing about the incident, as he has nothing to do with the Patri*ts' video production team.
Why did they shoot the Bengals' sideline? Well, the video that was shot, which includes at least 8 minutes of the Bengals' coaching staff relaying signals, was merely "B-roll" for a documentary about an advance scout checking out the Bengals from the press box, and not in any way going to be used for any sort of competitive advantage.
The individual filming the sidelines didn't know the rules about filming another team's sideline from the press box.
And then others (not the Patri*ts here, to be clear) have provided the alibi that the Patri*ts were filming the Bengals, a 1-12 team that they seemingly wouldn't need an illegal advantage to beat.
Do I have them all?
I'm sure we can take the Patri*ts at their word. I mean, it's not as if:
Belichick isn't famously involved in every aspect of... everything Patri*ts.
The "B-roll" just coincidentally happened to be the exact same type of footage the Patri*ts got caught filming illegally more than decade ago.
The guy filming the sidelines, who works for the Patri*ts and was even wearing Boston Bruins gear, surely could not have known anything about the history of the Patri*ts' Spygate scandal, and even if he legitimately didn't, the professional scout he was filming wouldn't know to say, "Dude are you seriously taping their sidelines right now? You should probably cut that out immediately and burn your camera." Also, the alibi that the video production team was shooting a documentary pretty much exactly matches the one the team provided to its cheating crew if they got caught back in Spygate I.
The Bengals have been in seven one-score games this season, while the Patri*ts have lost two straight games, and they very much need this win to maintain an ever-important first-round bye in the playoffs. Oh, and also, maybe they only got caught filming the Bengals, whereas their cheating crew for other upcoming opponents were perhaps more discrete?
But yeah, it's all just a huge coincidental misunderstanding, and this is yet another attempt by haters to further the reputation the Patri*ts have as cheaters.
Seahawks (-6) at Panthers: In my opinion, the Panthers are in the conversation for worst team in the NFL, and they might not even have a top 10 pick to show for it.
Buccaneers (-3) at Lions: This is an A+ tweet:
Jameis Winston's agent meeting with NFL teams this offseason. pic.twitter.com/FKon5mCfGC
Anyway, the Bucs are playing decent football at the moment, winning three straight games, while the Lions have lost six straight, and are on their third quarterback. Why is this line only 3?
Bears at Packers (-4.5): Despite their records, I think these teams are a little closer than most realize. Over the last month or so, the Packers have not been an impressive football team, while the Bears have woken up some. I'll take Green Bay to win, but I do like that 4.5-point line for the Bears.
Broncos at Chiefs (-9.5): Rookie quarterback Drew Lock has looked good in his first two NFL starts, but he'll have a difficult matchup this week against a blitz-happy Steve Spagnuolo. Also, why wasn't Lock playing sooner?
Dolphins at Giants (-3.5): This is a game seemingly with huge draft order implications, as the Giants currently have the No. 2 overall pick, while the Dolphins would pick fourth if the season ended today. A look at the current draft order, via Tankathon:
However, the 2-11 Giants are unlikely to move from that No. 2 overall pick. They are ensconced there, as they have a bit of a buffer between themselves and the 3-10 Dolphins and Washington team, since they would (currently) hold the strength of schedule tiebreaker even if they won another game.
You may as well just start printing Chase Young Giants jerseys now.
Anyway, in seeing the Dolphins and Giants up close in each of the last two weeks, the Dolphins look like a team that is still trying its hardest to win games, while the Giants look like they're rolling over and dying. I'll gladly take the Dolphins and 3.5 points all day.
Texans at Titans (-3): In their last four games, the Titans have beaten the Chiefs, and then a trio of bad teams, but by at least two touchdowns in each game. Suddenly, people are talking about Ryan Tannehill getting either a long-term deal or a franchise tag.
Browns (-2.5) at Cardinals: Baker Mayfield is trash as a leader, but the Browns have enough talent to take down a Cardinals team that has lost six straight.
Jaguars at Raiders (-6.5): Above I noted that the Panthers are in the conversation as the worst team in the NFL currently. Well, the Jaguars would be in that conversation for me as well. The Jags are 0-5 in their last five games, by a combined score of 174-57. And it's not as if they've played great competition. The combined record of the teams they played during their five game losing streak is 33-32.
I hate laying a lot of points, just generally speaking, and I sure as hell don't like laying points on a team like the friggin Raiders, but the Jags have quit.
Vikings (-2.5) at Chargers: The Chargers are the best 5-8 team in the NFL. They're about to be the best 5-9 team in the NFL.
Rams (-1) at Cowboys: This line opened at Cowboys (-4)!!! What?!? Like, I get that Vegas is very aware that dopey homer Cowboys fans will bet the Cowboys no matter what the line is, but I think that even the homeriest of their homers realize how badly their team is falling apart.
Falcons at 49ers (-10.5): This is a sneaky game for the Niners, in my opinion. They're coming off a huge road win in New Orleans, and have division-deciding games upcoming against the Rams and Seahawks Weeks 16 and 17.
It'd be easy to overlook the 4-9 Falcons, who have looked decent recently.
Bills at Steelers (-2.5): When I saw this matchup initially, my brain was just kind of conditioned to go, "Steelers." However, this Bills team is obviously healthier, and they're 5-1 on the road this season.
Colts at Saints (-9.5): Golf clap for Frank Reich and the Colts for holding it together as long as they did after Andrew Luck unexpectedly retired just before the start of the season, but they're done.

Background: Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and his Japanese counterpart, Takeo Fukuda, began on Monday (24 January) the first round of talks of Mr. Gromyko's current visit to Japan. The two ministers discussed various preconditions to a peace treaty between the two countries.
The two man agreed that the Japanese and Soviet Prime Ministers would exchange visits on future dates to be fixed through diplomatic channels. But the Japanese Foreign Minister said there must be some progress towards the return of four Soviet-held islands off northern Japan, before the prime Ministers exchange visits. The Soviets occupied the four islands--Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu--at the end of World War Two, and the two countries are still technically in a state of war.
Mr. Gromyko, who arrived in Japan on Sunday (23 January) for a six-day visit, is due to have an audience with Emperor Hirohito on Tuesday and to meet prime Minister Eieaku Sato on Thursday.
SYNOPSIS: Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was welcomed by his Japanese counterpart, Takeo Fukuda, in Tokyo on Monday, as the two man began their first round of talks during Mr. Gromyko's current visit to Japan. The two men held discussions for a total of five and a half hours.
At the centre of discussion were various preconditions to a peace treaty between the two countries.
The two Foreign Ministers agreed that the Prime Ministers of each country should exchange visits at a future date. But later Mr. Fukuda said that there must be some progress towards the return of four Soviet-held islands off the northern Japanese coast, before an exchange of visits could take place. Japan has already stated that the return of war-lost Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu islands is a precondition to conclusion of a peace treaty. In 1956 the Soviet Union said it would return two of the islands if and when a peace treaty was formulated, but later claimed the territorial issue had been closed under international pacts.

TTM Report: August 2021
by MarcPosted on June 8, 2022 June 7, 2022
Alright, nothing too fancy here in the intro. I'm just trying to keep the train rolling with another simple entry and keep clearing out that backlog. Here's a post of 5 more TTM returns, which arrived last August.
Jim Rice: 1/1, 22 days with fee.
We're going to start this post off strong with another heavy hitter. Jim Rice scratches another name off the Hall of Famer list, and this return also gives me another lovely 1981 Fleer in the books. In fact, I should probably go update that 1981 Fleer page pretty soon, but I'm going to try and get through all the outstanding TTM Reports before I do. At any rate, it's always nice to add another Hall of Fame name, and Rice has a pretty stellar signature to boot. Between that, the 'stache, the smile, the majestic 1981 Fleer-ness of it: how can you not love this card? I sure do.
Mike Tyson: 2/4, 14 days
Here's one which was sitting in my "to write" pile for ages – heck, years even. A guy named Mike Tyson who appeared in two sets I love getting signed? Heck yes, we're going to (eventually) write that guy. Mike has a 2 card limit, apparently, but fortunately for me he signed the most important two cards, so I shan't have to write him again.
Robert Parish: 3/3, 41 days
Hey look, we've got another stray non-baseball request, and it's yet another Hall of Famer! Robert Parish was wrapping up his career as I was following basketball as a kid, and I was unfamiliar with the breadth of his work in the game. He's slipped down the leaderboards a tad, but it's easy to look back at where he was when he finished that career and understand what an outstanding talent he was. I love the 1990-91 Hoops set, with it's simple design evoking the key, and the fact that Parish chose a silver marker which echoes the border is just fantastic. The other two come from the '91-'92 set, one an All-Star card and one a retrospective. They're both great.
Delwyn Young: 1/1, 49 days
When I wrote Delwyn I thought I was working on a family project, however he's not part of the Dmitri and Delmon Young family, as much as I'd like him to be. Delwyn's dad Delwyn Sr. did have a 13 year career in pro ball, reaching AAA a few times and playing overseas in the CPBL, so it kinda counts? I remember Delwyn coming to Sugar Land in 2014 and spending a few years as a Skeeter. He's now the manager of the State College Spikes, one of the victims of the minor league "realignment" job that MLB pulled, in the Draft League.
Alright, I led off with a heavy hitter and stashed a non-baseball HOFer in there, but this last one is probably my favorite return from last August. Who could top those two?
Adam Jones: 2/2, 49 days
It's star outfielder Adam Jones, who sent this back FROM JAPAN! Adam spent 2020 and 2021 with the Orix Buffaloes, where he put up a .250/.334/.390 line across 159 games and belted 16 homers and drove in 66 runs. Stateside, I recall Adam as a really exciting player, and one of the leading voices when it came to speaking out about some of the latent racism black players still face, along with the struggle to get more black players into the game. This one was super cool to receive, and was the only return out of the five NPB requests* I sent.
*I found a stamp hookup on SCN! I'll probably write a few more this summer.
Alright, like I said up top: a quick and easy post today. A baseball HOFer, a basketball HOFer, and one return from Japan highlighting the bunch. It was smaller on the numbers, but definitely packed some pop!

Robert Parish will never get the respect that he should for the career that he had. He's also very generous with his signature, which seems like something that should receive more praise than it does as well.
The Lost Collector says:
Nice group of TTM successes!
Jerold Irabagon says:
Great group of autos! I wondered where Adam Jones went.

What Is the Romeo and Juliet Law in Utah?
Even if a minor consented to have sex, the act is considered criminal because minors cannot give consent to sexual intercourse. But what happens when the defendant is 18 and their partner is 17?
For teenagers of a certain age, it is not uncommon for a 16- or 17-year-old minor to have a slightly older boyfriend or girlfriend. Romeo and Juliet laws in Utah may protect these parties. These laws are designed to reduce or eliminate penalties for teenagers who engage in consensual sexual activity. However, there are limits to this protection, and Romeo and Juliet laws might still impose criminal charges. While numerous sexual acts are covered by Romeo and Juliet laws, you can still be charged with unlawful sexual contact. If you are too old or your partner is too young, the laws would not apply to your case.
If you have been criminally charged for sleeping with your 16 or 17-year-old partner, our Ogden sex crimes defense attorneys can help you take advantage of Romeo and Juliet laws. Call Overson Law, PLLC at (801) 758-2287 for a free case review.
What Is Utah's Romeo and Juliet Law?
Many states, including Utah, have a Romeo and Juliet law that applies in certain cases that would otherwise be statutory rape. Minors cannot give legal, valid consent to have sex. Consensual sex between an adult and a minor is usually statutory rape. However, Romeo and Juliet laws carve out exceptions for people of certain age groups.
You might think charging an 18-year-old high school senior with a serious sex crime for having consensual sex with their 16-year-old partner would be too harsh. Utah lawmakers would agree with that sentiment; hence, we have Romeo and Juliet laws. If your teenage child is facing legal penalties for sleeping with a minor only a few years younger than them, our Utah sex crimes defense attorneys can help you use the Romeo and Juliet law to protect your child.
These laws may prevent criminal charges if the minor involved was at least 16 and the defendant was less than 7 years older than them. Typically, in the above circumstance of an 18-year-old dating a 16-year-old classmate, criminal charges would likely not be assessed.
Remember that Romeo and Juliet laws do not prevent all criminal charges. It might still be possible to be charged with other sex offenses for having consensual sex with a minor. Typically, charges are assessed when the age difference between the defendant and alleged victim is too great. Romeo and Juliet laws tend to apply to young couples with only a few years between them. Our Park City sex crimes defense attorneys can review your case with you and determine if your teenager is protected by Romeo and Juliet laws.
Why Does Utah Have a Romeo and Juliet Law?
Romeo and Juliet laws are designed to protect people where typical laws regarding sex offenses would be too harsh. For example, charging an 18-year-old with sexual assault for having consensual sex with a 17-year-old seems outrageous considering they are a single year apart in age.
The law also takes into consideration the autonomy of 16- and 17-year-olds. The age of consent in Utah is 16, and teens who reach this age can consent to sexual activity with a partner, even an adult partner, within legal limitations. However, under Utah Code § 76-5-401.2(2), there is an age cut-off. A 16- or 17-year-old can legally consent to have sex with someone no more than 10 years their senior.
Romeo and Juliet laws are meant to shield young, consenting adults from unjust consequences. However, when the age gap between the alleged victim and the defendant is too great, Romeo and Juliet laws may offer no protection. Speak to our Provo sex crimes defense lawyers about your case to determine if you are protected by the Romeo and Juliet law.
What Kinds of Cases Fall Under the Romeo and Juliet Law in Utah?
Under Utah Code § 76-5-401.2(1), a "minor" for purposes of applying the Romeo and Juliet law is someone at least 16 years of age but younger than 18. Essentially, the law applies only to minors who meet the age of consent in Utah. If the supposed victim in our case is of the age of consent and the sexual activity was consensual, our Utah sex crimes defense attorneys can help you fight the charges.
The law also includes possible defendants no more than 10 years older than the minor. For example, if the minor in your case was 16, you may be protected by the Romeo and Juliet law if you are no older than 26.
Typically, the law is geared more toward teen romance, and adults in their twenties might be met with more skepticism. If you are at least 7 years older than the alleged victim, you may still face some criminal charges. However, the charges are less severe than ordinary statutory rape charges.
A defendant may be charged instead with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor under this law. The charges may be for third-degree felonies if the defendant has sexual intercourse with, touched the privates of, or caused penetration with an object of the 16- or 17-year-old minor.
Does the Romeo and Juliet Law in Utah Apply if I Did Not Know the Other Person's Age?
One of the biggest questions surrounding sex offenses cases involving minors is age. Defendants often claim that they were unaware of the supposed victim's age until after they had sex. Sometimes, defendants allege they inquired about age, but the other person was dishonest. The Romeo and Juliet law distinguishes between those who know about age and those who do not.
If the defendant is at least 7 years older than the alleged victim but still less than 10, they can be charged with unlawful sexual contact with a minor if they knew or reasonably should have known the minor's true age. If the victim in this case lied about their age, you might have a strong argument in your defense. However, your mistaken belief of the minor's true age must be reasonable.
There is no such leniency for defendants who are at least 10 years older than the minor. If you are 10 years older than the minor in your case, it does not matter if you knew their true age or not. The law makes no mention of the defendant's knowledge of age, reasonable or not.
If you were truly unaware of how old the alleged victim was in your case, our Riverton sex crimes defense attorneys can work with you to develop an effective defense strategy. Keep in mind that ignorance of age might not be a defense in many cases.
Criminal Charges Under Utah's Romeo and Juliet Law
Under Utah Code § 76-5-401.2(2)(a), a defendant may be charged with unlawful sexual contact with a minor, with the minor being someone at least aged 16. Depending on your circumstances, this offense may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. Our Utah sex crimes defense lawyers can help you fight these charges and any other sex offenses you might be facing in connection to a consensual sexual encounter with a minor.
Under the law, unlawful sexual contact with a minor may be punished as a Class A misdemeanor when the sexual contact consisted of inappropriate touching of the anus, backside, or privates of a minor, including the breasts of a female minor. If the contact consisted of sexual intercourse, oral sex, or penetration with an object, the defendant might be charged with a third-degree felony.
Another Romeo and Juliet law applies in cases of minors younger than 16 but at least 14. Under Utah Code § 76-5-401(3)(b)-(c), a defendant may only be charged with a Class B misdemeanor instead of a third-degree felony if they can show they were less than 4 years older than the victim. Alternatively, if the defendant was younger than 21 at the time of the encounter with the victim but more than 4 years older, they can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor.
Penalties for Unlawful Sexual Contact with a Minor in Utah
Sexual contact with a minor may be charged as a third-degree felony or a Class A or B misdemeanor, depending on your case. All these potential charges come with steep penalties, including incarceration and possibly being required to register as a sex offender. Our Utah sex crimes defense attorneys can help you fight your charges, and hopefully you can reduce or avoid these penalties.
A third-degree felony may be punished by up to 5 years in state prison. Remember, 5 years is the maximum sentence, but a judge may potentially impose a shorter sentence if you present strong mitigating factors.
A Class A misdemeanor is one step below a felony and may be punished by up to 364 days in jail. A Class B misdemeanor may carry a jail term of up to 6 months. Like with the felony charges mentioned above, your sentence might be shorter if you show the court strong mitigating factors. Our legal team can review your case for mitigating factors and help you hopefully avoid a lengthy incarceration.
Sex Offender Registration and Utah's Romeo and Juliet Law
In Utah, people convicted of certain sex offenses must register as sex offenders, often for many years if not for life. This includes juvenile and adult offenders. Being a registered sex offender presents a whole host of problems for convicted defendants even years after their case is over and their sentences are served.
Under Utah Code § 77-41-102(17), a person must register as a sex offender if convicted of certain sexual crimes in Utah. The statute provides a lengthy list of offenses that require registration, including unlawful sexual activity with a minor.
One exception to the registration requirement can be found under Utah Code § 77-41-102(17)(a)(vii). If you are convicted of unlawful sexual activity with a minor at least 14 years of age but younger than 16, but you are less than 4 years older than the victim and/or younger than 21, you do not have to register.
Can Two Minors Still Get in Legal Trouble for Consensual Sex in Utah?
While Romeo and Juliet laws protect teenage offenders, they do not apply to cases involving very young children. There may be criminal penalties even when two minors have a consensual sexual encounter. Our Sandy sex crimes defense lawyers can help you if your child is facing legal trouble for a consensual sexual encounter.
A defendant may be charged with unlawful adolescent sexual activity under Utah Code § 76-5-401.3(1) if the victim is at least 12 but under 18. A 17-year-old defendant might face third-degree felonies if the victim was 12 or 13. Typically, the close in age the victim and defendant are, the less severe the charges will be.
The offenses involved in unlawful adolescent sexual activity are typically consensual and do not include crimes like sexual assault or abuse. Not only that, but convicted defendants are not required to register as sex offenders.
Defenses to Statutory Rape Charges in Utah
The primary purpose of Romeo and Juliet laws is to circumvent statutory rape charges. Statutory rape charges are very severe and usually charged as serious felonies. While Romeo and Juliet laws might help young teenagers avoid statutory rape charges, they might not help adults.
If you are facing statutory rape charges, the first thing you should know is that ignorance of the victim's true age is not usually a defense. Our South Jordan sex crimes defense attorneys can help you figure out a defense that works for your situation.
For example, perhaps you engaged in sexual activity with a minor that did not amount to sexual intercourse. In such a case, we can argue that lesser charges, such as unlawful sexual contact with a minor, might be more appropriate.
Then again, if the sexual activity did not actually occur and the accusations against you are false, we can present an alibi. An alibi would likely lead to your charges being dropped. If an alibi is difficult to present because you were with the minor, but you did not have sex with them, we can find other proof that you were not physical with the alleged victim.
Contact Our Utah Sex Crimes Defense Attorneys for Help
If you have a young teenager facing charges for having sex with their slightly younger partner, they might be protected by Romeo and Juliet laws. Call our Utah sex crimes defense attorneys at Overson Law, PLLC at (801) 758-2287 for a free case review.
If you have been criminally charged for sleeping with your 16 or 17-year-old partner, our West Jordan sex crimes defense attorneys can help you take advantage of Romeo and Juliet laws. Call Overson Law, PLLC at (801) 758-2287 for a free case review.
Remember that Romeo and Juliet laws do not prevent all criminal charges. It might still be possible to be charged with other sex offenses for having consensual sex with a minor. Typically, charges are assessed when the age difference between the defendant and alleged victim is too great. Romeo and Juliet laws tend to apply to young couples with only a few years between them. Our West Valley City sex crimes defense attorneys can review your case with you and determine if your teenager is protected by Romeo and Juliet laws.
Romeo and Juliet laws are meant to shield young, consenting adults from unjust consequences. However, when the age gap between the alleged victim and the defendant is too great, Romeo and Juliet laws may offer no protection. Speak to our Utah criminal defense lawyers about your case to determine if you are protected by the Romeo and Juliet law.
If you were truly unaware of how old the alleged victim was in your case, our Utah sex crimes defense attorneys can work with you to develop an effective defense strategy. Keep in mind that ignorance of age might not be a defense in many cases.
While Romeo and Juliet laws protect teenage offenders, they do not apply to cases involving very young children. There may be criminal penalties even when two minors have a consensual sexual encounter. Our Utah sex crimes defense lawyers can help you if your child is facing legal trouble for a consensual sexual encounter.
If you are facing statutory rape charges, the first thing you should know is that ignorance of the victim's true age is not usually a defense. Our Layton criminal defense attorneys can help you figure out a defense that works for your situation.

Laramie Movie Scope: Copland
A movie loaded with wasted acting talent
August 17, 1997 -- "Cop Land" is a movie that seems to have either too many subplots or not enough editing. It is either way too long or too short, depending on what it was meant to be in the first place.
It is hard to tell what the filmmakers were trying to do, but one thing's for sure: something went wrong somewhere. The story is promising. A sheriff of a small New Jersey town called Garrison inhabited mostly by New York City Cops spends his time playing pinball and looking the other way, ignoring the crooked cops on the take all around him.
The sheriff, Freddy Heflin (Sylvester Stallone) is awakened from his slumber one day by an New York police internal affairs detective named Mo Tilden (Robert De Niro) who asks Heflin's help in locating a heroic young cop (played by Michael Rapaport) who is thought to be dead, but is in hiding.
The young cop isn't dead, but will be soon if he isn't rescued from the clutches of a crooked cop, Ray Donlan (Harvey Keitel). Donlan likes the kid, but figures he has to kill him because he knows too much. Donlan is in hiding because he mistakenly killed two men after he thought they shot at him.
When the young cop comes to Heflin's house seeking his help, Heflin decides he will have to act. There's a final gunfight with the bad guys. The acting talent is pretty high-powered with Keitel and De Niro, but De Niro has a surprisingly small part in this film. It makes me wonder if there was a lot of De Niro's stuff left on the cutting room floor.
There are some intriguing subplots, including one between Heflin and his old flame. Then there's the back story having to do with another crooked cop played by Ray Liotta ("Goodfellas") but those subplots seem to be dead ends. Perhaps they, too, were edited out. Then there is Janeane Garofalo ("The Truth About Cats and Dogs") who plays one of Heflin's deputies. It looks like something's happening with her, but she suddenly disappears from the film. There are dead ends everywhere.
I figure at least some of those subplots were filmed and got cut. Maybe others were real dead ends. Either way, the story ends up spinning its wheels a lot. What's left is about a half hour drama with about another hour of dead ends thrown in. It's a mess.
Keitel and Di Niro are always interesting to watch and Liotta does some good work in the film, too. The real surprise is Stallone. He does a pretty good job. It helps that his role doesn't call for much emotional range, because he only goes A to B. This film doesn't rate either an A or a B, despite all the talent. It's a waste of talent. It rates a C.


Another load of high quality well trained Connemara Performance Ponies left for Sweden on Wednesday May 22nd. This is our second load in as many months making their way over to the Lindh family in Sweden.
The ponies arrived on Saturday 25th, all well and in good form after a long journey with 2 rest periods.
These ponies were professionally trained at Diamond's Equine Centre by Lorraine Keith from Scotland who has a vast experience in breaking and training ponies. There were several others involved in the training process and getting these Connemara Performance Ponies ready for the next part of their career.
We are now currently working on another load of Connemara Performance Ponies with the aim to export by the end of June.

Movie Review: 'CHI-RAQ' Shows That Spike Lee Is Still Relevant
James Cole Clay // Film Critic
CHI-RAQ | 118 min | R
Director: Spike Lee
Cast: Nick Cannon, Teyonah Parris, Jennifer Hudson, John Cusack, Wesley Snipes, Angela Bassett and Samuel L. Jackson
Spike Lee has always been one to stoke the fire of controversy and bring the hammer down on social ideologies. The filmmaker is said to be an angry man, but really he's misunderstood, which stems from his passion for the work and bludgeoning you over the head with a message.
Lee is polarizing– that's been known for decades, but it's all about starting a conversation. And while his latest CHI-RAQ is uneven, the film incites a conversation that otherwise would have never been set in motion.
This is a meaty and ambitious project with lots of faces, names and concepts to wrap your head around. Lee and fellow screenwriter Kevin Willlmott (he conceptualized the film's narrative after the Greek play LYSISTRATA) aren't going to hold your hand through the rhyming prose that serves as the film's dialogue. While, the prose of CHI-RAQ is made to ebb and flow through the story, it's offset by the incendiary themes that show Mr. Lee is a human being with his tongue firmly implanted in cheek. The satire here works as a thesis and Lee isn't afraid to talk over people who aren't listening if that gets the point across.
Although the political officials of Chicago took issue with the film's title, it's clear there's lots of love for the city, which according to opening text has a higher murder rate than the entire nation of Iraq during wartime. The profound comedy and utter tragedy form a marriage that's more eloquent and precise than any social justice warrior has proven thus far.

Pulsating with a chip on his shoulder, underground rapper Demetrius (Nick Cannon) goes by the stage name "Chi-Raq." He embodies the pointed problem which Lee is trying to exercise. Cannon carries this burden on camera (albeit a curious casting choice initially) with ease. Chi-Raq's confidence takes a turn when he becomes under fire after a shooting at one of his concerts between his gang Spartans vs. a rival gang led by Cyclops – played by a guy formerly known as Wesley Snipes – that leads to a series events which opens the door for his girlfriend's Lysistrata's (Teyonah Parris) plight to come into play.
If you know the play in any fashion (which I personally did not), Lysistrata corrals the women of South Side Chicago to deny the men sex. They adopt the mantra "No Peace, No P**sy." Yes, the statement is vulgar but it incites more media attention than a local women Irene (Jennifer Hudson) whose little girl was just killed by a stray bullet.
It's heartbreaking, but there's also some serious tom-foolery at play. The story-telling method is constantly changing from a one-man chorus line Dolmedes (Samuel L. Jackson), whose wonderful voice narrates as rival gang members break the fourth wall by talking about war stories and hospital injuries. As the white preacher in a black church Mike Corrigan (John Cusack) hams in up with honesty and conviction with just a twinge of a wink. His crowning moment is a non-rhyming speech where he mixes church and state by discussing Black Lives Matter and other pertinent issues. While this could be qualified as unethical church is the institution that brings that community together and Lee is saying "this is the time, this has got to be the place and there's no other way."
CHI-RAQ is as raw as anything Lee has made to date. He typically works best within the realms of satire, and that's no secret. He remains an ambitious filmmaker that longs to tell a story that will mean a great deal those willing to open their ears and hearts. It's a boisterous project that doesn't care who is looking, nor should it because Lee has a way of making anger incredibly thoughtful as well as entertaining.
CHI-RAQ opens today and will be available to stream on Amazon in the near future.

Scholarship Committee Co-Chairs
The vast majority of funds contributed to the AAIE scholarship endowments come from individual Academy members. Every contribution is made in perpetuity and adds to the Scholarship Endowment of the donor's choice. Only income is used to fund scholarships.
In order to emphasize the importance of member contributions and to show appreciation to members and spouses who contribute to the AAIE scholarship endowments, the AAIE Board established recognition levels. These levels represent CUMULATIVE contributions in excess of AAIE dues. The Board also recognizes "Friends" of AAIE representing faculty, INEG staff, and others who are not AAIE members.
• Contribution Levels Recognized
$2,000,000 Campaign
In the spring of 2015 the AAIE initiated a campaign to grow total Academy Endowments (Academic, Financial Needs & John Imhoff Global Studies) to $2,000,000. The campaign which featured a $200,000 Matching Pool sponsored by three anonymous members received unprecedented member support and reached the $2,000,000 goal in less than three years. The Academy awarded scholarships to 51 students for the 2018-19 school year, and AAIE endowments now exceed 2.5 million.
Graduate Studies Endowment
The establishment of a new Graduate Studies Endowment, AAIE's 4th Scholarship Endowment, was announced in the fall of 2017. To promote the initiative, anonymous members created a new $150,000 Matching Pool to serve as seed money. In the first year the Graduate Studies Endowment grew to $300,000. AAIE members now sponsor and fund Scholarship opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate IE's through four separate AAIE Endowments.
Scholarship Recipients 2018-2019

Life less hurried, living in the slow lane: He doesn't have to share at home!
He doesn't have to share at home!
The other day while my kids were playing with a bunch of neighborhood children, fighting broke out. They were fighting over a toy. I pulled my children aside. I told them that we needed to share, or we would go home. I heard one of the Grandmothers comment about her grandson, "He doesn't have to share at home, they each have their own rooms and own toys,they don't have to share." That comment really struck me.
They began with the simple things that the children should have learned early on as a toddler; things like, please, thank you, taking turns, and sharing. It was making a huge difference. They were having less distractions in the classroom. The children were more focused and ready to learn. They were able to turn things around for these children.
It takes a village to raise a child. My parents know this and lived it. They have spent countless hours working with the youth over the years. In scouts, as young men's and young women's group leaders in our church,as 4-H leaders and various other things. They were a part of the community. I remember them serving on the volenteer fire department. They contributed to society and they taught us children to do the same. There have been many who have come back as an grown men and women and said to my parents "Thank you". They encouraged us to participate in such things as 4-H, and Youth city council. They wanted to give us a good start in life. I am grateful for that. Now that I am grown, I am making a difference in my family and community.
Teaching my children to be a good example to their peers is a good start. The other day I heard my three year-old saying to one of the other children "lets be caring and sharing" I was proud of her. She learned that from my good example. We can all be a force for good in this world. We can make a difference, one child at a time.
Now it is your turn. Go and make a difference in the life of a child.
I loved this! It starts and home and when they are young. We all need to follow your example and train our children in the little things because when they grow up these things will become big and make a huge difference in their lives. Thank you for sharing and for linking up with Leaving A Legacy this week!
I have never thought of manners as the building blocks of learning, but it makes total sense. It is all about self control and respect. Very inspiring post. Thanks for sharing at Mom's Library!

In words we wished to have sent to Her Majesty in life and in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee – Her Majesty's resolute dedication to public service and Her loyal Canadian subjects was vital to the growth of our young nation. It was Her Majesty's lifelong example of strength, compassion, and dignity which has shaped generations of Canadians from all walks of life.
We as a country, and we as a people, stand today, undoubtedly bettered by Her Majesty's indelible influence upon us all. For the prodigious sacrifice of Her whole life to the service of Her peoples, our debt to Her Majesty cannot ever be repaid by our humble thanks, however we offer it, nonetheless.
We shall not forget that while this is a national loss it is first Your Majesty's personal loss of a loving and compassionate mother and a stalwart matriarch. As we wrote to Her Late Majesty one year ago, upon the demise of Your Majesty's father, we shall commit our whole selves to personally sharing the burden of Your Majesty's profound sorrow and grief. We hope this can be of at least some small consolation.
At too young of an age Her Late Majesty was left with the heavy burden of the Crown, a burden which now falls upon Yourself. In service of Your Majesty's fulfilment of this heavy duty we, Your subjects, pledge our unending loyalty, devotion, and support for Your Majesty the King.
At the momentous end of this second great Elizabethan era our prayers remain with Her Late Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen Consort, Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the Royal Family.
We pray to almighty God for the salvation of the eternal soul of Her Late Majesty, Elizabeth the Second and for divine countenance for Your Majesty and the Royal Family in this time of bereavement. May God bless Your Majesty with wisdom, strength, courage, and compassion as our Sovereign and King. God Save the King."

Sri Lankan Airlines ranked sixth in The Best International Airlines: 2020 Readers' Choice Awards
SriLankan Airlines has been voted among Best International Airlines in the popular and influential CondeNast Traveller 2020 Readers' Choice Awards.
Sri Lanka's national carrier was placed sixth in the survey in which Singapore Airlines came on top followed by Emirates and Qatar Airways.
The CondeNast said SriLankan has built a strong following among fliers who appreciate its comfy business class seats, attentive cabin crew and flavourful in-flight meals.
"It's a top choice for travellers headed not only to the island nation it calls home, but to destinations in the region like the Maldives, where it's the largest foreign airline. With a fleet of 26 planes, it's not huge, but more passengers are discovering it, thanks to its membership in the Oneworld alliance," the magazine added.
It said with 2021 expected to be the year of the comeback for long-distance international travel, readers' choice of airline will be more crucial than ever.
It said the top global airlines on 2020 list this year made the cut by getting it right, in everything from creature comforts to health and safety – all top of mind as we navigate the new rules of flying.
Notably, more than two-thirds of these winners hail from Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, where airlines have long set the bar for luxury aloft, whether one is flying a two-hour hop or a 14-hour marathon run.
On SIA it said Singapore is known for setting records – from holding the number one spot on our Readers' Choice Awards for more than three decades, to winning the title for world's longest flight, a 19-hour nonstop between New York and its Changi Airport hub via its fleet of all-premium Airbus A350s.
When service resumes on that and other super-long routes, fliers will again savour what makes this airline a perennial favourite: It's an industry leader in seat comfort, in-flight service, and reliability. It also gets praise for continually upgrading its product in all classes, including a new farm-to-plane catering program and a wellness service, including sleep strategies and stretching exercises led via seatback videos.
Emirates' posh perks for first and business class fliers – cocktail lounges, in-flight showers – may get all the attention, but that's only one reason it scores so high among travellers. With its fleet of Airbus A380s, state-of-the-art seat-back entertainment system with 1,800 channels, and Wi-Fi connectivity, the Dubai-based airline gets kudos for service and amenities in all classes of service.
And those classes are set to expand: The carrier is expected soon to debut its long-planned premium economy cabin, with an emphasis on the "premium" side of that hybrid class.
Qatar has one of the industry's youngest fleets of ultra-long-haul wide-bodies: It flies the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the newest Airbus counterpart, the Airbus A350-1000. Both jets' composite structures allow lower cabin pressure and higher humidity, which can lessen the effects of jet lag, especially if you're connecting through Qatar's hub in Doha to points beyond.
Its QSuite business class, which can be configured with double beds and four-person dining suites, has won rave reviews from fliers with pleasing touches like hot towels and a welcome drink.

5 reasons to come to the Evangelism Conference - Evangelism Conference.
1. Because Evangelism Is always hard.
Yes — it is hard, and many of us feel it is getting harder. People don't want to come along to things. They are dismissive of starting conversations. They do not want to read books, or talk about evidence. They put up a barrage of questions, condemnations and objections. And we must fight through all these things before we get to share Jesus with them. It is hard, but then, no-one promised it would be easy.
At the Evangelism Conference you will be reminded that this is what we are called to — even though it is hard.
2. Because we have a great message to tell.
We can sometimes feel backed into a corner and lose our trust in the message of salvation. Our culture portrays us as narrow-minded bigots who believe a fairy story for which there is no evidence, and that our message, and we, are dangerous people. None of this is true; and yet it is hard not to feel like that sometimes.
At the Evangelism Conference you will be reminded that the gospel of God really is Good News for this generation.
3. Because we are prone to giving up.
Left to ourselves, personal evangelism and mission as the central focus of church life, gradually gets moved to the periphery, and withers. We end up being "secret saints" and churches that are just a private club for those who turn up. That's why we need to keep hearing the gospel ourselves as Christians, and why we need to keep repeating to ourselves and each other the call to go into all the world and make disciples.
At the Evangelism Conference you will be encouraged to keep going.
4. Because we need fresh ideas and stimulation.
One of the other problems we face is that we become set in stone on the "how" of evangelism. It worked for us back then, surely it must work for everybody now. But culture changes. The questions and objections people have change. What is important to them and our culture morph into something we need to work at understanding, because it is alien to us.
At the Evangelism Conference you will get fresh ideas to consider and try in your local church..
5. Because we need mutual encouragement.
Spending time with others who share the same frustrations, challenges and joys is important. It helps us see that we are not struggling alone. It helps us share approaches to problems that we have found worked. It is always encouraging to hear the stories of people who have responded to the gospel. God is at work in our world. Evangelism is embracing our part in a work that God himself is doing.
At the Evangelism Conference you will spend time with other believers who are engaged in the same mission with you.
Be encouraged and equipped to share the good news of Jesus. Join us for Persuasive Evangelism: Evangelism Conference 2018 in the South at All Souls, Langham Place, London on Tuesday 9th October 2018 and in the North at Holy Trinity Church, Platt Lane, Manchester on Thursday 11th October 2018. Book now.

Q: The definite article with the intangible nouns Why it is right to use "the rain" and "the lottery" in the following sentences?

If you stand in the rain, you get wet.
If I won the lottery, I would travel a lot.

Can I use "a" instead of first or second "the"?
(It becomes hard, when a noun means an abstract object.)

A: The lottery refers to a particular one (the main lottery in your country, or one you have just been talking about). A lottery would mean just any one.
As for rain, it's just usual in English to use the before weather phenomena in some contexts. He got lost in the snow. The fence blew down in the wind. It's less usual to use a, but we can do so when describing a particular quality of the weather. A light rain began to fall.
