Wright v. Blakeslee
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
A, who died in October, 1846, devised his real estate to his daughter for life, with remainder in fee to her son B., should he survive her. She died in September, 1865. B. was duly notified to make the return required by sec. 14 of the Internal Revenue Act of June 30, 1864, 13 Stat. 226, and on his refusal to do so was summoned in June, 1867, to appear before the assessor of the proper district. He appeared, and claimed "that the estate was not liable to assessment for a succession tax." Thereupon the assessor assessed a tax of one percent upon the full value of the property, and added thereto a penalty of fifty percent and costs, all of which B., July 20, 1867, paid under protest to the collector. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue, to whom B. appealed, rendered a decision adverse to his claim, July 3, 1873. B. brought this action, June 24, 1875, against the collector to recover the amount so paid.
1. That the action was not barred by the statute of limitations.
2. That the tax was properly assessed and the penalty erroneously imposed.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the Court.
MR. JUSTICE BRADLEY delivered the opinion of the Court.
This is an action brought by B. Huntington Wright, the plaintiff in error, against Blakeslee, the defendant, formerly collector of internal revenue for the twenty-first revenue district of New York, to recover the amount of a succession tax collected from the plaintiff and his sister in 1867, the latter having assigned her interest to the plaintiff.
A jury was waived, and the cause was tried by the court. From the findings the following facts appear:
Henry Huntington, of Oneida County, New York, died in October, 1846, leaving a will by which, amongst other things, he devised to chanrobles.com-redchanrobles.com-red
his executors certain real estate in trust to receive the rents and profits and apply the same to the sole and separate use of his daughter Henrietta (if a feme covert at his death) during the term of her natural life, and at her decease, if she should leave issue surviving, the testator gave and devised the said real estate to such issue absolutely and in fee. When the testator died, his daughter Henrietta was the wife of one Benjamin H. Wright, and had two children living, B. Huntington Wright (the plaintiff) and a daughter. Henrietta died in September, 1865, leaving her said two children and her husband surviving. In June, 1867, the plaintiff and his sister were notified by the assessor to make return, as required by the fourteenth section of the Internal Revenue Act of June 30, 1864, 13 Stat. 226, and they both refused and declined to make any return or give any knowledge or information as to the quantity, location, or value of the real estate, and thereupon they were summoned to appear before the assessor in relation thereto. They appeared accordingly, and claimed that the estate was not liable to assessment for a succession tax. The assessor decided against them, and assessed a tax of one percent on the full value of the property, and added thereto a penalty of fifty percent and expenses, making in all $595.59. In June, 1867, the assessor notified the parties of the tax imposed, the value of the property, and the penalty affixed. The assessment or tax, with the penalty, was placed upon the assessment roll, and delivered to the collector (the defendant) for collection, and he notified the parties to pay the tax.
On the 31st of July, 1867, the parties paid the tax under protest, the tax paid amounting to $595.59, of which $389.56 was tax, $194.78 was penalty, and $11.25 was the expenses for making the assessment and valuation. The amount assessed upon each, viz. B. Huntington Wright and Henrietta H. Wright, was $297.29.
On the 5th of October, 1872, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue wrote the parties that the claim to have the tax refunded had not been submitted to the department, and forwarded them a blank to be filled up and transmitted to the department, and they would then pass upon the case upon its merits. chanrobles.com-redchanrobles.com-red
About the 3d of January, 1873, the appeal was perfected and filed with the Commissioner.
On the 3d of July, 1873, the Commissioner rendered his decision upon the merits, rejecting the whole claim, and gave notice thereof.
On the 15th of June, 1875, Henrietta D. Wright, one of the parties against whom one-half of the tax had been levied and collected, transferred her claim to the plaintiff.
On the same day a summons was delivered to the sheriff of New York to serve on defendant.
On the 24th of June, 1875, the summons was actually served on defendant. The action was originally brought in the state court, but was removed into the circuit court of the United States upon proceedings had under the statute.
Upon these facts the court decided as matter of law that the tax and penalty were properly assessed and collected and that the plaintiff ought not to recover.
The first and principal question in the case is whether the devolution of the property to the children of Henrietta Wright on her death in September, 1865, was a "succession" within the meaning of sec. 127 of the Internal Revenue Act then in force. 13 Stat. 287. The language of that section is as follows:
"That every past or future disposition of real estate by will, deed, or laws of descent by reason whereof any person shall become beneficially entitled in possession or expectancy to any real estate or the income thereof upon the death of any person dying after the passing of this act shall be deemed to confer on the person entitled by reason of any such disposition a 'succession,' and the term 'successor' shall denote the person so entitled, and the term 'predecessor' shall denote the grantor, testator, ancestor, or other person from whom the interest of the successor has been or shall be derived."
Comparing the terms of the devise of Henry Huntington with the language of this section, we do not see where there is any room for doubt. The will clearly gave to the trustees an estate for the life of Henrietta Wright, with remainder in fee to her children surviving her. At her death, in 1865, those children did "become beneficially entitled in possession," chanrobles.com-redchanrobles.com-red
and every condition of the law was fulfilled. There was a "past" "disposition of real estate by will," "by reason whereof" the children of Henrietta Wright became "beneficially entitled, in possession," to the property devised, "upon the death of [a] person dying after the passage of this act." We think the case is directly within the terms and meaning of the act. Up to the moment of Henrietta Wright's death, her children had no interest in the land except a bare contingent remainder expectant upon her death and their surviving her. At her death, it came to them as an estate in fee in possession absolute. We cannot imagine a plainer case of devolution within the description of the law.
It is suggested that as the act refers to the acquisition of estates "in possession or expectancy," it cannot mean to embrace estates which had already accrued as estates "in expectancy" before the act was passed. But such an implication cannot be allowed to prevail against the express words of the act, which include all estates to which a person should become beneficially entitled upon the death of any person dying after the passage of the act. In the present case, the children of Henrietta Wright first became "beneficially entitled" to the property in question at their mother's death. They then became "beneficially entitled in possession."
It is also suggested that the case is more aptly described in sec. 128 of that act, which is as follows:
"That where any real estate shall, at or after the passage of this act, be subject to any charge, estate, or interest, determinable by the death of any person, or at any period ascertainable only by reference to death, the increase or benefit accruing to any person upon the extinction or determination of such charge, estate, or interest shall be deemed to be a succession accruing to the person then entitled beneficially to the real estate or income thereof."
We do not assent to this view. This section is evidently intended to meet the cases of estates burdened by determinable encumbrances, such as rent charges, leases for years, and qualified interests, which do not suspend the taking effect of the estate in the land, but only subject it to some burden. Where, chanrobles.com-redchanrobles.com-red
however, a remainder is dependent upon a life estate in the land, it does not take effect as an estate in possession until the life estate is determined. Till then, it is a mere expectancy. The present case is one of this kind, and we think clearly comes within the description of sec. 127.
Another point made by the plaintiff against the assessment relates to the fifty percent added to the amount of the succession tax, and exacted by way of penalty for refusing to make a return as required by the statute. This penalty we think was erroneously imposed. The assessor evidently thought that he was authorized to impose the penalty prescribed by the fourteenth section of the act of 1864 (as amended by the act of July 13, 1866), which was, it is true, a penalty of fifty percent of the tax for refusal or neglect to make a list or return. But an inspection of that section and of the context to which it belongs shows that it related to the annual and monthly lists and returns to be made by parties taxable under the law. So sec. 118 (as amended by the Act of March 2, 1867), which also imposed a penalty of fifty percent for such neglect and refusal, and was relied on by the court below, related only to the income tax. But the penalty for failing to return and give notice of a succession tax is provided for in a distinct section, to-wit, sec. 148 of the act of 1864 (as amended by the act of 1866), which is found in immediate collection with the sections relating to the succession tax. This section declares that if any person required to give such notice [of a succession] should willfully neglect to do so within the time required by law, he should be liable to pay to the United States a sum equal to ten percent upon the amount of tax payable by him. This is the specific penalty provided for the special case, and necessarily excludes any other. We are satisfied, therefore, that the penalty of fifty percent which was actually imposed was wrong, and ought not to have been exacted. There is therefore no doubt of the plaintiff's right to recover the amount of this penalty if, when paid, the protest against its exaction was sufficient.
On this point it is to be observed that the case stands on a different ground from that of the illegal exaction of duties on imports. To recover these, the statute makes it necessary that chanrobles.com-redchanrobles.com-red
the party interested should give notice in writing to the collector, if dissatisfied with his decision, setting forth distinctly and specifically the grounds of his objection thereto. Act of June 30, 1864, sec. 14; 13 Stat. 214; Rev.Stat. sec. 2931; Westray v. United States, 18 Wall. 322; Barney v. Watson, 92 U. S. 449; Davies v. Arthur, 96 U. S. 148. No such written notice or protest is required of a party paying illegal taxes under the internal revenue laws. He must pay under protest in some form, it is true, or his payment will be deemed voluntary. City of Philadelphia v. The Collector, 5 Wall. 720; The Collector v. Hubbard, 12 Wall. 1. But whilst a written protest would in all cases be most convenient, there is no statutory requirement that the protest shall be in writing. In the present case, the court merely finds that the payment of the tax and penalty was made under protest, which may have been either written or verbal. We think that this finding is sufficient to show that the payment was not voluntary. It is apparent from the findings, it is true, that the objection of the parties was particularly made against the legality of the tax, and not against the penalty as distinct therefrom. But, of course, the objection included the penalty as well as the tax, and as the latter was clearly illegal, we think that the plaintiff should have had judgment for the amount thereof unless barred by the statute of limitations.
We think that the defense of the statute of limitations cannot be maintained. Under the nineteenth section of the Act of July 13, 1866, 14 Stat. 152, no suit could be maintained for the recovery of a tax illegally collected until appeal should have been duly made to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and his decision had thereon. The act contained other provisions not material to this case. In July, 1867, when the tax was paid, there was no statutory limitation of time for presenting claims for remission of taxes to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
On the 6th of June, 1872, an act was passed, by the forty-fourth section of which it was provided that all suits for the recovery of any internal tax alleged to have been erroneously assessed or collected, or any penalty claimed to have been collected without authority, should be brought within two years chanrobles.com-redchanrobles.com-red
next after the cause of action accrued, and not after, and all claims for refunding any internal tax or penalty should be presented to the Commissioner within two years next after the cause of action accrued, and not after, provided that actions for claims which had accrued prior to the passage of the act should be commenced in the courts or presented to the Commissioner within one year from the date of such passage, and provided further that where a claim should be pending before the Commissioner, the claimant might bring his action within one year after such decision, and not after. 17 Stat. 257. When this act was passed, the claim in the present case had not been formally presented to the Commissioner, and so did not come within the last proviso; but, for the purpose of presentation to the Commissioner, it was embraced in the first proviso. The parties, therefore, had by the act one year to present their claim to the Commissioner, and it was thus presented on the third day of January, 1873, within the time allowed for that purpose.
The Commissioner rendered his decision on the third day of July, 1873, and then, for the first time, the parties had a right to bring suit against the collector. Then their cause of action first accrued against him. It is manifest, therefore, that the cause of action against the collector was not embraced within either the first or the second proviso of the section just cited, and that it stood upon the primary enactment of that section, requiring that suit should be brought within two years next after the cause of action accrued. This would give the plaintiff until the 3d of July, 1875, to bring his action.
Thus the matter stood when the Revised Statutes went into effect on the 22d of June, 1874, and there is nothing in them to change the plaintiff's right. The forty-fourth section of the act of 1872 is substantially reenacted in sec. 3227 of the Revised Statutes, which contains no modifications of phraseology that affect the present case. And as it appears from the findings of the court that this suit was commenced by delivery of the summons to the sheriff on the 15th of June, 1875, it is apparent that the defense of the statute of limitations cannot be maintained.
The judgment of the Circuit Court will be reversed, and the chanrobles.com-redchanrobles.com-red
case remanded with instructions to enter judgment in favor of the plaintiff for the amount of the penalties exacted from the plaintiff and Henrietta H. Wright, with interest and costs, and it is


I imagine you could make ANY cookie heart-shaped this way, as long as it's the type that you have to flatten slightly -- that is to say, the type that doesn't flatten into a puddle all by itself while baking.
The trick is this: after flattening a ball of cookie dough with the palm of your hand (or bottom of a jar. Or whatever. You know,) just slice a small triangle out of one side and then pinch the opposite side into a point. You can kind of smooth out the "curves" of the heart with your finger, too, if you like.

An exclusive but not entirely clandestine establishment, Kennebragh's is a legitimate business owned by members of the Scottish Mafia. Located near the 7th tee-off at a moderately popular golf course in Virginia, it is open to non-club members, but visitors must pay an entrance fee. The card house offers a variety of games, from various flavours of poker to blackjack and craps. All the games are high stakes, the lowest possible buy in for a game being $10,000. It also contains a full kitchen and bar. It is not used to launder money or house any illicit dealings beyond, on occasion, such subjects being discussed among members in a private manner. Rowdy people are not tolerated as the place likes to maintain an air of being very upscale; no fights, no drunks, not even among the made-men.


Chef Bill, my paramour and recipe developer extraordinaire, is no stranger to crafting delicious meatballs. Ditto for meatloaf, by the way. Check out his carb-free meatloaf in "Clean Comfort." Over the years, Bill regularly made different versions of Italian meatballs, Swedish meatballs, and ginger-tinged Asian meatballs. But these are different. They kind of stopped me in my tracks at first bite. At once intensely moist and aromatic, they were superior. "It's the eggs," Bill said in response to my raving. These are too delicious not so share, and a perfect winter meal. And, a fantastic Super Bowl snack, if you roll them small, bake them, then toss 'em in the slow cooker with your favorite sauce to keep warm. Since I'm pretty discriminating with carbs and I prefer to food-combine anyway, I've come to enjoy the simplicity of homemade meatballs bathed in a high-quality Marinara (meaning one with Extra Virgin Olive Oil as an ingredient, and no sugar) and a side vegetable. No cramps, bloating, or regret. It remains of my favorite cold-weather meals. Either way, these are worth a try. This recipe's a keeper.
In a small bowl, sift dry ingredients together and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the meat, eggs, oregano paste, garlic, and tomato paste and blend with hands or potato masher until evenly blended.
Add the dry ingredients to the meat mixture gradually until it's all well blended.
Spray a large sheet pan with shallow sides with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop meatball mixture into quarter-cup measurer, making it a level, not heaping quarter cup. Form into a ball with your hands by rolling the alloted portion between your palms and place on the baking sheet. Meatballs should be placed at least an inch apart from one another.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the read 160 with a meat thermometer. Blot with paper towels before serving. These also store well in the refrigerator for up to a week.


Power and energy engineering provides ample opportunities for rewarding careers addressing critical local to global technical challenges. Universities throughout the world are providing the education needed for students to enter this engineering career field. Information is now available on power engineering programs at US and Canadian universities. Through a periodic survey by the Power & Energy Education Committee (PEEC) of the IEEE Power & Energy Society, information has been assembled on relevant university education programs to help students, parents, student advisors, recruiters, among others, learn about current education opportunities. The information can also be useful to faculty looking to improve university education programs, and to government and industry supporters of research and education to better understand the scope and breadth of power engineering programs.
In 2016, the IEEE Power & Energy Society invited all accredited, 4 year institutions in the U.S. and Canada to participate in the 2015-2016 Power & Energy Education Committee (PEEC) Survey. The purpose of this survey is to collect data on the state of power and energy engineering education in the U.S. and Canada. Since it began, the survey has provided the engineering education community with valuable metrics and data on topics such as universities providing power engineering education, faculty members, curriculum trends, and research topics and expenditures.
Are you looking for information on which universities offer education in power and energy engineering, the faculty and staff doing the instruction, the degree options, the offered courses, and the trends in power engineering education? You can find that information and more in the following sources on university power programs at US and Canadian universities.
The report listed above contains a list of educational institutions that self-identified as having power and energy engineering faculty and courses. All information has been self-reported by a faculty member at each institution. Contact the institutions directly to get the most up-to-date information.

Climate + Food
Bill Clinton speaks at the UN. What lessons has he learned about agriculture? Photo: United Nations Development ProgrammeWhat have Haiti's recent calamities taught U.S. decision makers about foreign policy with regard to agriculture?
Haiti imports nearly half of the food consumed there–and 80 percent of its rice, the national staple. In the past two years, the country has undergone two major shocks: the global spike in food commodity prices in 2008, and this year's devastating earthquake. In both cases, the dearth of domestic food production, combined with the complete absence of rice reserves, translated to widespread hunger and misery.
For a nation to rely on global commodity markets for its sustenance is to depend on forces completely out of its citizens' control. Actions in other countries–say, the U.S. government's decision to ramp up ethanol production in 2007–can price millions out of food markets. Natural disasters can quickly morph into monstrous human tragedies. In Haiti, a people with a long history of toughness and resourcefulness become frightfully vulnerable.
For 30 years now, U.S. policy makers and the so-called "Washington Consensus" institutions–the IMF and the World Bank–have goaded "developing nations" to forget about food security and instead focus on leveraging their "comparative advantages" to earn hard currency through foreign trade. Typically, those advantages end up being large pools of cheap labor and natural resources. As for feeding the domestic population, the global commodity market would take care of that.
The 2008 food crisis, which pushed hundreds of millions from mere poverty to flat-out hunger, exposed the absurdity of that policy. No country threw its farmers to the wolves more decisively than Haiti, which just a generation ago grew most of its own food and was a net rice exporter. And now their are signs that U.S, policy makers are rethinking the old advice, as Tom Laskawy recently reported here.
Bill Clinton is a paid-up member of the foreign policy establishment: former President, current UN envoy to Haiti, husband of the Secretary of State. Speaking of his decision in the 1990s to push Haiti to accept cheap, subsidized U.S. rice imports at the expense of its own farmers, Clinton told he Senate Foreign Relations Committee that… (transcription of the Clinton quotes pulled from the Democracy Now website.)
Since 1981, the United States has followed a policy, until the last year or so when we started rethinking it, that we rich countries that produce a lot of food should sell it to poor countries and relieve them of the burden of producing their own food, so, thank goodness, they can leap directly into the industrial era. It has not worked. It may have been good for some of my farmers in Arkansas, but it has not worked. It was a mistake. It was a mistake that I was a party to. I am not pointing the finger at anybody. I did that. I have to live every day with the consequences of the lost capacity to produce a rice crop in Haiti to feed those people, because of what I did. Nobody else.
That's a remarkable statement. He later referred to the destruction of Haiti's rice farmers as a "devil's bargain. He added this:
And it's [the old ag policy] failed everywhere it's been tried. And you just can't take the food chain out of production. And it also undermines a lot of the culture, the fabric of life, the sense of self-determination.
But then in later remarks, Clinton called into questions the lessons he had actually learned. Speaking of Haiti specifically, he said this:
And we–that's a lot of what we're doing now. We're thinking about how can we get the coffee production up, how can we get other kinds of-the mango production up–we had an announcement on that yesterday–the avocados, lots of other things.
By mentioning coffee, mangoes, and avocados, Clinton seems to be indicating an emphasis on export crops. To understand why this is deeply problematic, you have to fully understand the old policies. The idea went like this. Well-capitalized farmers in the globe's temperate zones — essentially, the U.S., Europe, Brazil, and Argentina — would produce high-volume staple crops like corn, soy, and wheat. In the tropical and sub-tropical zones, farmers would forget staple crops and focus on "high-value" (and labor-intensive) fruit, vegetables, and flowers for the northern countries, where consumers can pay high prices for them. Comparative advantage at work: capital-intensive crops in the temperate zones; labor-intensive crops in the hot zones.
But the idea was always perverse. Global trade in food makes sense in cases of genuine surplus and shortage; but it becomes problematic when it becomes the driving force behind ag policy. Why should Haiti's farmers focus on growing mangoes, avocados, and coffee for Americans when people there lack access to sufficient food? Why should Chile's prime farmland be occupied by flower production for the U.S.–instead of food for Chileans to eat?
Moreover, farms that have sufficient scale to profitably reach these markets tend to be huge plantations, as Paul Roberts shows in his 2008 book The End of Food. He cites the case of Kenya. In textbook terms, an emphasis on export crops looks like a raging success in Kenya–the country exports $200 million in horticultural products per year, the engine of Africa's second-largest export economy.
And yet, smallholder farmers are increasingly iced out of that booming export market. "[T]he share of Kenya's foreign-bound produce grown by smallholders has fallen from nearly half in 1980 to less than a sixth today," Roberts reports. The main way most Kenyans interact with such agriculture is as plantation laborers–earning an average wage of three dollars per day.
Such arrangements don't eliminate poverty; they enshrine it. Indeed, while laborers toil on plantations and Kenya sends literally tons of pristine fruit, vegetables, and flowers north to Europe, "about one-third of the [Kenyan] population is chronically undernourished," the FAO reports.
So, it's disturbing to hear Bill Clinton talking about reviving Haiti's agriculture through export crops, and not through supporting smallholder farmers and linking them with consumers in Haiti's cities. I love tropical crops like coffee as much as anyone; and if coffee and mango production for export can be structured in a way that boosts small-farmer incomes, then fine. But until Haiti can feed itself, the spectacle of U.S. policy titans obsessing about export markets seems absurd: farce piled on tragedy.

In pursuit of knowledge, our field is faced with two big problems. The first problem is publication bias. Due to a focus on significant results (and with very few not significant findings being published) it is difficult to know which findings are likely to be true. If lines of research have evidential value, publication bias makes it very difficult to know what an accurate approximation of the true effect size is. The second problem is a lack of power in performed studies. Lack of power undermines the informational value of studies. Underpowered experiments are unlikely to observe an effect even when it is actually true, and thus hinder theoretical progress.
In this workshop, students will gain hands-on experience with novel statistical techniques that will allow them to meta-analytically evaluate lines of research. First, we will discuss challenges in interpreting meta-analytic findings published in the literature based on traditional meta-analysis of effect sizes. We will provide recommendations to increase the quality of meta-analyses, including open data and disclosure tables. Subsequently, we will discuss novel statistical techniques to estimate true effect sizes in the presence of meta-analysis. We will get hands-on experiences with p-curve analyses, and learn how p-curves can provide information about the true effect size. Furthermore, we will review alternative meta-analytic approaches, such as meta-regression.
In addition, we will explain what normal patterns of experimental findings look like. Recently, empirical papers have been criticized for containing too many true effects, which is unlikely in light of the power of the performed experiments. We will explain how such sets of studies can be identified, what the effect of publication bias can be on the effect size estimation, and how to write-up sets of studies containing statistically significant and non-significant findings.
Students are invited to send in questions before the workshop starts, and we will try to address their questions during the workshop.
This workshop builds on a previous KLI workshop "How we know what is likely to be true" organized on June 19, 2014 (KLI Teaching Program 2013-2014), and assumes some of the knowledge taught in that workshop to be known. Additional reading is provided for students who did not attend this earlier workshop, and a brief summary will be provided on the first morning.

Woman Leaves Dogs In Car, They Crash It Into Wal-Mart
Shoppers at a West Virginia Wal-Mart got a big surprise after an elderly woman left her two dogs in her car with the engine running on July 31.
A witness said she was standing outside of the Wayne Wal-Mart when she noticed a car slowly moving toward her, reports WSAZ. She thought perhaps the driver was somebody she knew, but as the car got closer, she noticed what was driving -- a dog.
Once the woman realized what was happening, she jumped out of the way and the car crashed into the store.
The owner of the car was paged by the store. Witnesses say she appeared to be in her late 70s.
The elderly woman says she left her dogs in the car with the air conditioning on so they could stay cool, reports KSWB. Somehow, one of the dogs managed to get the car out of park.
According to a store employee, the dogs were fine after the incident and there was minimal damage to the car and the building.

How NOT to Get Out of a Speeding Ticket
How to get out of a speeding ticket by avoiding common mistakes most people make.
By Lawrence Black
The best advice for beating a ticket would be to show you how NOT to get out of a speeding ticket.
Beg, plead, whine and ask for forgiveness
There are actually people out there that condone this defense strategy. C'mon - is this really a valid defense? You aren't a little kid that has been caught with your hands in the cookie jar.
This is real life and if you think that begging and pleading with the judge is going to get you out of a speeding ticket, you're going to be seriously dissapointed.
Don't downgrade your dignity by whining in court. It won't work.
Blame your speedometer
Oh, the infamous "My speedometer wasn't working" excuse. If there's one defense the judge gets sick of hearing, it's this one.
The fact that your speedometer wasn't working (which the judge will believe to be a lie) isn't a valid defense. And if it really wasn't working, you should have gotten fixed.
At least that's what the judge will say.
Play the race game
Just go to court and point out to the judge that the officer purposely gave you a ticket when you didn't deserve one.
Maybe he didn't like you because you are of Middle Eastern decent? Maybe you were a black man driving in a predominately white neighborhood?
Whatever the circumstances may be, don't accuse the officer of racial discrimination or profiling. It rarely works.
Racial discrimination is an all too common defense and you are going to need some proof to back up what you are saying.
If not, don't bother.
Accusing the officer of something without anything concrete to back it up is a no-win situation.
Keeping with the flow of traffic
Don't try to argue there were other people speeding and you were simply keeping up with the flow of traffic. The fact still remains that you were speeding and using this defense hurts your case rather than help it.
By arguing this defense, you have actually admitted to the fact you were speeding. First you claimed other motorists were speeding. Next, you admitted you were keeping up with them.
In essence, you just admitted to speeding.
Now, no matter what you say, you are a traffic violator under your own admission. The judge will have no choice but to find you guilty!
Never try to get out of a speeding ticket using this excuse.
Argue that your actions did not cause harm to anyone
Maybe not coming to a complete stop at the stop sign in a very quiet neighborhood at 3:00 AM did not hurt anyone, but it still doesn't deny the fact that you broke the law.
Whether anyone was hurt or not is beside the point. The point is that you broke the law - no ifs, ands or butts about it.

The Democratic push to retake the House received a major boost from Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, which released a new district map Monday that's poised to improve the party's chances in about a half-dozen seats.
But the fight over the new districts is just beginning. Republicans are expected to push hard against the implementation of the maps, a fight President Trump Donald John TrumpDemocrats' CNN town halls exposed an extreme agenda Buttigieg says he doubts Sanders can win general election Post-Mueller, Trump has a good story to tell for 2020 MORE welcomed in a tweet.
State and federal Republicans announced plans Tuesday to challenge the map in court. One GOP official told The Hill that the challenge is expected to include Republican members of Pennsylvania's congressional delegation.
For now, though, the map marks a big win for Democrats.
The new maps, unveiled by the state Supreme Court after a heated fight between the Democratic governor and the GOP-controlled legislature failed to produce a compromise, are a significant improvement for Democrats' chances. The biggest changes center on the Democratic-leaning Philadelphia suburbs.
All told, election analysts believe the changes give Democrats a better shot in six new seats from Pennsylvania alone — a quarter of the 24 seats the party needs to net in November to retake the House.
"Part of our job to get the majority back has been made a tad easier, or it's at least they can start to see light at the end of the tunnel," said Larry Ceisler, a Democratic strategist in Philadelphia.
The state Supreme Court struck down the current lines in January, arguing that they're an unconstitutional creation of partisan gerrymandering. Under the current map, Democrats hold just five of the 18 congressional seats, even though Democrats regularly perform well in statewide elections.
The legislature failed to reach an agreement with Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf on new lines to comply with the court decision, prompting the court to draw new lines of its own that are expected to go into effect before the May 15 primaries. That leaves candidates scrambling to start circulating petitions in their new districts starting next Tuesday, with less than a month before the March 20 filing deadline.
Democrats already had their eyes on several GOP-leaning districts, and the new map only improves their prospects.
The seat that belongs to retiring GOP Rep. Pat Meehan Patrick (Pat) Leo MeehanFreshman lawmaker jokes about pace of Washington politics Many authors of GOP tax law will not be returning to Congress Dem Scanlon wins House seat in Pennsylvania MORE — considered one of the most gerrymandered districts in the country — now heavily favors Democrats. Once a swing seat, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonDavis: The shocking fact that Mueller never would have accused Trump of a crime Trump says he would challenge impeachment in Supreme Court The Hill's Morning Report - Will Joe Biden's unifying strategy work? MORE would have won the redrawn district by nearly 30 points in 2016, according to a New York Times analysis.
It's a huge win for Democrats who have heavily targeted Meehan's suburban Philadelphia seat, particularly since sexual harassment allegations prompted him to retire.
The shift now puts the spotlight on the Democratic primary, where more than half a dozen candidates are running. The winner of the primary will become the heavy favorite for the general election.
The new lines also improve Democrats' chances against GOP Rep. Ryan Costello Ryan Anthony CostellloOvernight Energy: Park Service closing Joshua Tree after shutdown damage | Dems deliver trash from parks to White House | Dems offer bills to block offshore drilling | Oil lobby worries about Trump trade fight Ex-GOP Rep. Ryan Costello joins group pushing carbon tax Exiting lawmakers jockey for K Street perch MORE, who saw his district change from one Clinton won by 1 point to one Clinton would have won by 9 points, according to the Times analysis.
Further boosting the party's hopes, Chrissy Houlahan, a top Democratic recruit who outraised Costello in the last fundraising quarter, wasn't drawn out of the new district.
Democrats have also seen their chances improve in GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick Brian K. FitzpatrickFreshman House Dems surge past GOP in money race Cybersecurity Advisory Committee will strengthen national security through a stronger public-private partnership Congress is ready to tackle climate change MORE's seat, as well as the open seat currently held by retiring GOP Rep.

"In the big picture, Republicans could lose five seats. In a year where the balance of Congress is in play, five seats is a lot of seats from one state," a Pennsylvania Republican strategist told The Hill.
It's possible that these changes could spark some lawmakers, particularly Costello, to reconsider reelection bids.
But Republicans are hopeful Costello will stay and fight.
"You're going to take a step back and make sure you are moving forward in the right direction," said one GOP aide familiar with Pennsylvania races.
While the new map is mostly good news for Democrats, there are still a few bright spots for Republicans.
GOP Rep. Lloyd Smucker Lloyd Kenneth SmuckerLawmakers divided over how to end shutdowns for good How to keep government running when lawmakers fail to do their job Key Dem chairwoman opposes bill to automatically avoid shutdowns MORE, who was more of a reach target for Democrats, is now in a much safer district for Republicans.
That makes campaigning more difficult for Democratic candidates Christina Hartman and Jess King, who have both raised more than $300,000 each. King said on Monday that she will still challenge Smucker in the new district.

The court challenge appears to target, in part, the abbreviated timeline the courts gave the legislature to draw a map.
The courts initially gave the legislature less than three weeks to draw a new map to submit to the governor, but only released the language of the full decision two days before that deadline.
Republicans have been crying foul for weeks, lamenting the timing and framing of the decision as a partisan one made by a Democratic-majority court.
"This map is likely unconstitutional, and it is clearly a corrupt political gerrymander undertaking by a partisan court," a Costello spokeswoman told The Hill.
Democrats welcoming the map are careful to argue that it's not about partisan representation, saying it's instead about keeping communities in the same congressional districts and allowing for better representation of the state as a whole.
"Setting aside all the partisanship conversations, this map is orderly and sensical, it follows all the rules you'd want a map to follow when you are drawing district lines," said Philadelphia-based Democratic strategist Mark Nevins.
It's unclear whether the GOP legal challenge will succeed. Election law experts are skeptical that the Republican challenge will succeed, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an earlier challenge a few weeks ago.
"Because this was a case decided under the state constitution by the state Supreme Court, the usual path for review of this case by the U.S. Supreme Court is limited," Rick Hasen, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, wrote in a blog post Monday.

Bakersfield to add 'In God We Trust' to police vehicles
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — The Bakersfield City Council has given the go-ahead to adding the motto "In God We Trust" to police and fire vehicles.
The council of the southern San Joaquin Valley city approved the decals Wednesday on a 4-2 vote.
The Bakersfield Californian reported the decision followed a two-hour debate in which 19 speakers opposed the decals and 11 spoke in favor of them.
ACLU attorney Jordan Wells told the council that placing "In God We Trust" on police cars is bad public policy.
"Unlike God, police officers are fallible," he said. "Their conduct should be scrutinized by the public, and when they overstep their authority, we must insist on accountability."
Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan said she loves the motto. "It's meaningful. It's powerful. Those words are intended to encourage," Sullivan said.
Councilmembers Willie Rivera and Andrae Gonzales voted against the plan.
"I think it's clear this decision doesn't represent everybody in this community and I think this is a problem," Rivera said.
Gonzales noted he is a Christian but opposes the decals. "The God I believe in is much bigger than a bumper sticker," he said.
Earlier in the week, U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy declared his support for the decals.
"Displaying 'In God We Trust' — the official motto of the United States — on Bakersfield Police Department cars is a testament to each officer's commitment to upholding the rule of law and defending the City of Bakersfield and its residents," he said in a statement to The Californian.
The decals are to be privately funded, although details have yet to be worked out.
Leaders of the neighboring Kern County city of Delano approved placing the motto on its police cars in April. The city of Shafter will take up the idea later this month.
In a similar issue, the Laguna Beach City Council voted earlier this year to retain a new red, white and blue American flag motif that runs through the word "police" on its black-and-whites after some complaints. The panel had approved a design more muted than the graphic that was actually produced.

Madame John's Legacy is a historic house museum at 632 Dumaine Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana.  Completed in 1788, it is one of the oldest houses in the French Quarter, and was built in the older French colonial style, rather than the more current Spanish colonial style of that time.  It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970 for its architectural significance.  The Louisiana State Museum owns the house and provides tours.

Description and history
Madame John's Legacy stands north of Jackson Square, on the southwest side of Dumaine Street between Royal and Chartres Streets.  The building's name derives from the story "Tite Poulette" by New Orleans author George Washington Cable, and refers to a building that previously stood on the site.  It is a French colonial raised cottage, its ground level a full-height basement built out of brick, and a wood frame main level above. The exterior is clad in wooden boards.  Behind the main building is an open courtyard, with a brick slave quarters, kitchen, and garconnière at the rear of the property probably dating to the 1820s.  The basement level of the house appears shorter than it was when built, in part because the street level has been raised in the intervening centuries.

Although archival records point to 1788 as the date of completion for its construction, archaeological investigations suggest that the house possibly incorporates a significant amount of an earlier one built on the site circa 1730 by François Marin and occupied by his widow, the New Orleans businesswoman Elisabeth Réal, until her death in 1777. Following the 1788 fire, owner Manuel de Lanzos instructed the American contractor Robert Jones to recycle as much brick and iron hardware as possible from his damaged house, suggesting that enough of it survived the fire to be included in the rebuilding. Whether entirely rebuilt in 1788 or a restoration of a damaged structure, the house managed to survive the 1794 fire unscathed. It underwent a number of alterations in the 19th century, most notably as part of a conversion to apartments in the late 19th century.  In 1947 the house was donated to the Louisiana State Museum and operated as a museum until 1965, when it was closed due to hurricane damage.  It was subjected to a painstaking restoration in the early 1970s, restoring it as much as possible to its late 18th-century appearance, and reopened.

This house is briefly seen in the 1994 movie Interview with the Vampire in a scene where caskets are being carried out of the house while Louis (Brad Pitt) is describing Lestat (Tom Cruise) and Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) going out on the town. Part of 12 Years a Slave was also filmed at the house.

CalDigit's TS3 Lite Thunderbolt Station 3 gets fully investigated as we see if it's worth buying or not.
Over the years, we have had several products come through from CalDigit. It's been awhile since we had any real storage solutions as lately they have been ironing out their Thunderbolt 3 solutions, namely the TS3 and TS3 Lite.
For those that didn't need all the features packed into the Thunderbolt Station 3, CalDigit has released a more cutback version called the TS3 Lite. This solution still uses the Thunderbolt 3 platform with 40Gb/s throughput but splits that out to Gigabit Ethernet, Audio in and out, DisplayPort and USB 3.1 in both the Type-C and Type-C form factors.
What you will be missing coming from the standard TS3 to the Lite version is USB-C charging and eSATA ports. The entire unit is housed in a different form factor, so it's quite easy to tell the standard and lite models apart.
Compatibility includes Windows and MacOS operating systems, and the MSRP of the CalDigit TS3 Lite comes in at $199.99 with a one-year warranty.
A more accurate or direct comparison can be made between the two Thunderbolt station models from this table found on the CalDigit website.
Packaging for the TS3 Lite shares an image of the device on the right side with features listed along the left.
The side of the box has a full spec sheet for the device along with a diagram callout above.
The scope of delivery includes the 72-watt power adapter and Thunderbolt 3 cable.
Taking our first look at the TS3 Lite, we have Type-C and Type-C on the front.
On the backside, things get interesting with gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and the Audio I/O on the left side while the right side houses the Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort connections.
Peeking at the PCB, we find it's a modular design. This should let CalDigit swap in new modules without redesigning the entire solution. The right side houses the Intel JHL6540 Thunderbolt 3 controller along with two Texas Instruments TPS65983 USB- PD controllers.
Down below, you will find a Parade PS181 DisplayPort to dual-mode DP switch. On the left side, we have USB 3.0 controlled by a Fresco Logic FL1100 and Audio by Texas Instruments PCM 2912A. The front mounted Type-C and C ports are then switched by another TI chip and the gigabit Ethernet via a GST5009 chip.
In checking the USB 3.0 performance of this solution, we first went after the front mounted USB-C. As you can see, we reached 329 MB/s read and 323 MB/s write on our Intel 730 SSD.
Next, I decided to test both the front and back USB 3.0 ports at the same time to see if they are sharing bandwidth. As you can see in this test, both drives slowed down the Plextor topping out at 250 MB/s and the Intel at 187 MB/s.
This last test was to see if the onboard gigabit NIC had available throughput to operate at full speed. As you can see from the start of the test, this NIC was steadfast at 952 Mbps, which is the tops of what our test system reaches.
Like many CalDigit solutions in the past, this TS3 Lite is well built. Starting with the aluminum enclosure that adds both favorable aesthetics to the unit as a whole while also adding to the durability for the long-term user. The functionality of this device does offer a solid amount of options including USB-C and dual Type-C ports. Also, you get 5K resolution support over the DisplayPort connection and gigabit Ethernet as well.
One of the only drawbacks I could find with this solution was the USB ports do share bandwidth and the front mounted USB-C and Type -A ports are an either-or setup, meaning you can only use one at a time.
Performance via the Gbe NIC was solid reaching the full potential of our test system while USB 3.0 performance wasn't terrible but could have been better. In my testing, I reached 329 MB/s read and 323 MB/s write on our Intel 730 SSD that when directly connected to our test system was pushing 530 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write.
With the TS3 Lite being a Thunderbolt 3 solution and all the available bandwidth given, it's hard for me to justify the USB 3.0 configuration of this device. The front mounted ports should be usable at the same time and it's hard to see why they used an FL1100-100 single port host controller on a device that has three ports.
In my opinion, this solution is just too dumbed down for the $199.99 MSRP, and you would be better off going for the full Thunderbolt Station 3 and have the full Monty of features.
The Bottom Line: At the given price point, the TS3 Lite has too many features removed and corners cut to be a viable solution in today's market.

Futsal Champions League - Dynamo's Sergeev seeks Kairat revenge - News
Dynamo's Sergeev seeks Kairat revenge
Monday 21 April 2014 by Mikhail Malkin
A year ago Sergei Sergeev missed a late chance to equalise for FC Dynamo in the final against Kairat Almaty; he talks to UEFA.com as the teams meet in Thursday's semi.

After two successive UEFA Futsal Cup final defeats, FC Dynamo will aim to reach a third straight decider on Thursday in Baku against the side that beat them 12 months ago in Tbilisi – Kairat Almaty.
Russia defender Sergei Sergeev was in his European debut campaign last term after joining from MFK CSKA Moskva, and scored in the final but missed a chance to deny Kairat a 4-3 victory late on. Seeking to help Dynamo to the title after a pair of final losses, just as in 2007, the 30-year-old Sergeev spoke to UEFA.com about Dynamo's bid.
UEFA.com: What does playing in the UEFA Futsal Cup mean to you?
Sergei Sergeev: It is a big honour to play in a tournament as big as the UEFA Futsal Cup, both for the club, which always sets big goals for itself, and for me personally.
UEFA.com: What is the atmosphere like at the final tournament?
Sergeev: Usually, UEFA Futsal Cup matches attract many fans, especially during the finals. It's very nice to play in front of full stands; a big crowdgives you extra energy and you try to play even better.
UEFA.com: What would it mean to you to get your hands on the trophy?
Sergeev: Any futsal or football player that wants to get to the top of the game has to win major trophies. The UEFA Futsal Cup is definitely one of them. We don't just care about Dynamo – we are defending the honour of Russian futsal. Our country will be represented by two clubs next year, not just one, if we win the trophy. We want to bring the UEFA Futsal Cup back to Russia.
UEFA.com: Do you often think about how close you came to scoring an equaliser against Kairat in the final last year?
Sergeev: Yes, these thoughts come to my mind from time to time. We had chances to win that match. Also I remember the goal I scored – we were losing 1-0, but then I scored an equaliser. That was a great feeling, but unfortunately we lost in the end.
UEFA.com: What have Dynamo learned from that experience?
Sergeev: That we should give more respect to any opponent we have in the UEFA finals. Everybody probably thought we would win and play against Barcelona in the final. We spent a lot of time analysing their performances and, unfortunately, did not prepare that well for Kairat. We were punished for that.
UEFA.com: What are the strengths of this Dynamo side?
Sergeev: There are many strong individuals within our squad who play for their national teams – Russia and Brazil. But we are not perfect and we need to improve in some areas.
UEFA.com: Do Russian sides have an advantage at all in being used to 50-minute matches in your league, compared with the 40 minutes in international tournaments?
Sergeev: It is a big bonus for us as it makes things physically easier for us in European matches, but we can also easily lose concentration a bit at times. If you play in Russia, you have more time to correct your mistakes than in Europe.
UEFA.com: What are Tino Pérez's strengths as a coach?
Sergeev: He is a good psychologist and he cares a lot about the atmosphere in the dressing room. He is a great coach, but he only gets good results with the help of the club's board and players. He would never be such a great coach without our help.

Q: How do I repurpose the context menu for reply? I have an Explorer.xml, where I found the right-click reply control to be in idMso "ContextMenuMailItem"
<contextMenu idMso="ContextMenuMailItem">
     <button idMso="Reply" onAction="Reply_RightClick"/>
</contextMenu>

However, when I try to set an onAction to it, the function is not being called.
public void Reply_RightClick(Office.IRibbonControl control)
{
      //do something
}

I know the .cs file is properly set up because I have custom buttons that are properly triggering its respective function, and I know that reply button is the one I want because when I toggle visible/enable to false, it gets appropriately hidden/disabled. How can I intercept this reply? Please help!

A:
If it ever proves helpful to someone else, I managed to find a workaround to this!

First, hide the original reply button on the context menu.
<contextMenu idMso="ContextMenuMailItem">
     <button idMso="Reply" visible="false"/>
</contextMenu>

Then, add a custom reply button to the context menu at the same spot where you hid the reply button, with the reply icon
<button id="Custom_Reply" onAction="reply_click" label="Reply" insertBeforeMso="MarkAsRead" imageMso="Reply"/>
<menuSeparator id="Separator" insertBeforeMso="MarkAsRead/>

And after that, you will be able to do what you need to your reply button
public void reply_click(Office.IRibbonControl control)
{
     if(control.Context is Outlook.Selection)
     {
          Outlook.Selection item = control.Context as Outlook.Selection);
          if(item[1] is Outlook.MailItem mailItem)
          {
               mailItem = item[1] as Outlook.MailItem;

               //do stuff to your mailitem

               //then do a .reply and display the repurposed mailitem
               Outlook.MailItem replyMail = mailItem.Reply();
               replyMail.Display();

               //don't forget to release your comobjects!
               if(replyMail != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(replyMail);
               if(mailItem != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mailItem);
          }
     }
}

CAMERA Op-Ed: The Philadelphia Inquirer Hides Antisemitism—Again
By: Sean Durns August 31, 2022
Antisemitism, The Philadelphia Inquirer warned in 2018, is "rising." But the newspaper is doing its best to hide what it once acknowledged was a growing problem. Indeed, the Inquirer has launched nothing short of an advocacy campaign on behalf of a woman who once said that "Israel doesn't have a right to exist."
On August 23, 2022, the Inquirer filed a dispatch entitled, "She was fired for being publicly pro-Palestine. One year later, no one is hiring her." However, in more than 1,600 words, reporter Massarah Makati failed to inform readers that Natalie Abulhawa, a one-time private school teacher, was fired for not only saying that Israel doesn't have a right to exist, but for attending rallies where signs read "Jews control the U.S. Senate." That seems like an important detail.
Instead, the Inquirer portrays Abulhawa as being fired for purely being "pro-Palestinian." The newspaper posits her dismissal as being part of a dastardly plot to silence "pro-Palestinian" voices.
