HANFORD — As the decade draws to a close, let's take a look some of the features stories that defined the year 2019.
The following are some of the most popular stories on HanfordSentinel.com over the last year.
Jan. 9: FFA puppy-raising project named Organization of the Year
Students in the Lemoore High School FFA Guide Dog Puppy Raising Project have been raising and socializing puppies for the Guide Dogs for the Blind program since the late 1980s. Each student is tasked with raising a puppy from eight weeks to 13-15 months old, at which point the dog transfers to San Rafael for specialized guide-dog training.
The program, headed by Marybeth Hearn, has been named Organization of the Year by the Lemoore Chamber of Commerce and will be honored at its 61st annual Installation Banquet on Friday, Jan. 18. 2019.
Jan. 23: Hanford West student vies for Miss California Teen USA title
Miss Kings County Teen Mikayla Contreras seeks to reach the next plateau this weekend as she vies for the title of Miss California Teen USA.
The Hanford West senior will be in Arcadia through Sunday for the four-day event. The new Miss California Teen USA will be crowned Sunday, a prize that comes not only with a tiara and sash but also a cash prizes, scholarships and other prizes.
"To win, or to even come close, would be a huge blessing for me. For only being my second pageant, it will show girls that you can try something new and be successful in it. It's always a good idea to step out of your comfort zone," Contreras said.
April 3: Hanford becomes 'Addicted to Steve Perry'
Members of the Addicted to Steve Perry fan club met in Kings County recently to show what the passion and generosity of a positive fandom can achieve.
From March 15-17, four members of the fan club who hail from all over the country — including club founder Mary Mendoza of Edinburg, Texas, Patricia Bloomer, Jodie Johnson and Cindy Dagenais — met in Hanford to take in a little of the Valley vibe that made singer and musician Steve Perry the icon he became.
"It's a very lovely little town," Mendoza said. "We loved it so much. We were happy being there, knowing it was Steve Perry's hometown, where he grew up."
May 15: Taco Truck Throwdown returns to downtown Hanford
Local foodies can help students realize their scholastic dreams this weekend — one taco at a time.
Organized by the Professional Latin American Association, the Taco Truck Throwdown returns to downtown Hanford.
May 22: Hanford's Dimaano to appear on 'American Ninja Warrior'
"School, work, train" is the mantra for Hanford's future American Ninja Warrior Charles Dimaano Jr.
The 21-year-old Hanford West graduate will appear on the May 29 episode of the athletic competition television show, which airs at 8 p.m. on NBC.
May 30: 73rd annual Kings Fair kicks off
The Kings Fair kicks off tonight and "ewe" are invited.
The theme for the 73rd annual Kings Fair is "The Reason for Our Success is Ewe," a theme that expresses gratitude to the Fair's attendees, sponsors, employees, volunteers and everyone else who supports the long-running Kings County tradition.
July 13: Lemoore vet operates on pet goldfish
While films like "Finding Nemo" popularized the myth that fish have three-second memories, one Valley veterinarian recently gained a memory she'll likely be able to recall for a long time.
Dr. Kait Betchel of Karing for Kreatures Veterinary Hospital in Lemoore recently conducted a surgery on a pet fancy goldfish.
"This was my first time doing lone fish surgery," Betchel said, adding that she had assisted in a similar surgery during her training.
July 25: New sushi restaurant rolls into town
Downtown diners have a new eatery to roll into.
Samurai Sushi Bar opened earlier this month in the Old Firehouse building at 215 N. Douty St., offering a new dining option for local fans of Japanese cuisine.
"I thought it was time to open my own sushi bar," co-owner and chef Saul Villanueva said. "Business has been very good."
July 27: With purchase, China Alley will 'be around for future generations'
The future of China Alley is a little more secure.
Arianne Wing and Steve Bannister, proprietors of the LT Sue Co. Tea Room, recently purchased an important piece of China Alley history — the Imperial Dynasty building — with the plan to revitalize it.
"I've been on the China Alley Preservation Society board for many years and our whole things is not just preserving the alley, but we want it to be revitalized too," Wing said. "We want it to have some life to it."
Aug. 3: Does Mike's Grill have the best burger in Kings County?
Earlier this week, the Sentinel asked a simple question on its Facebook page — "Where can we get the best burger in Kings County?"
An overwhelming consensus was formed in 173-comment thread. The majority of commenters preferred Mike's Grill in Hanford.
"I took a look and I was very humbled," owner Mike Murrietta told the Sentinel. "I saw some of the other places mentioned and they're all good, too. We try to differentiate ourselves through our service and the products that we use."

Will Cisco Still Have The Same Island Vibe Once Beer Giant AB InBev Owns It?
by Rob | Nov 15, 2019 | Blog Posts, Cape & Islands, Metro Boston | 3 comments
Iconic Massachusetts Brand Has Evolved From Craft to "Crafty"
Back in September of 2016 we posed the question of whether a Massachusetts brewery would ever get bought out by big beer. Now, just three years later, it appears it's about to happen. In you case you missed it, Anheuser-Busch (AB), maker of Budweiser and subsidiary of beer giant AB InBev, announced Monday that it plans to acquire Craft Brew Alliance (CBA), a publicly traded craft brewery group that owns eight brands throughout the U.S.. It's a deal worth an estimated $321 million. The news is significant for the Massachusetts craft brewing industry because CBA owns the Cisco Brewers brand and produces nearly all of its beer.
Cisco is one of nine brands owned by Craft Brew Alliance, soon to be 100% owned by AB InBev
The Nantucket-based brewery began its relationship with CBA back in 2015, when it was just 31.7% owned by AB InBev. It began as a strategic alliance that moved production of Cisco's beer to CBA's Portsmouth, New Hampshire facility and made them the brand's master distributer. In June of last year CBA converted its New Hampshire pub, known prior to then as the Redhook Cataqua Public House, into a Cisco-branded space. Four months later, CBA purchased the brand, the beer, and the wholesale distribution side of the business in a $23 million deal. Cisco held on to its original island brewery, as well as the rights to develop additional retail opportunities, such as the Boston Seaport beer garden which recently agreed to a three-year lease. As part of the deal, Cisco Beer Garden LLC* (which we've come to learn is owned by a third party) plans to obtain a year-round liquor license for $450,000 so it can stay open during the winter, although it appears that idea may be in jeopardy.

Given its deep pockets as a result of the buyout, or sellout depending on your perspective, Cisco doesn't plan to stop there. Just last week it received final approval from the New Bedford Planning Board for Cisco Kitchen & Bar, a restaurant and indoor-outdoor entertainment venue slated to open on the waterfront along Buzzards Bay in summer of 2020. A joint venture between Not Your Average Joe's Restaurant founder Stephen Silverstein and Cisco Brewers partner Jay Harman, "it will be similar to what's on Nantucket and at the Boston Seaport [beer garden] right now," said permitting attorney Michael Kehoe in a South Coast Today story in August.

There Once Was A Brand From Nantucket . . .
The question of whether Cisco will still be considered craft beer depends on who you ask. Bart Watson, chief economist for the Brewers Association (BA) said that any beer brewed by CBA (now owned by AB InBev) doesn't meet its definition of craft because it isn't produce by a small, independent brewer. So any of the flagship beers produced in Portsmouth and distributed to bars, restaurants and liquor stores, as well as what's served at its Boston beer garden are considered so-called big beer. There's no plan for an on-site brewery at the pending Cisco Kitchen & Bar location, so the beer trucked down to New Bedford won't be counted as craft either. About the only thing that will pass muster according to Watson is what's brewed on the island. According to state tax records that amounts to less than a thousand barrels of production through September of this year.
For those wondering why any of this matters, beer writer Josh Noel offers some compelling reasons. It's something he calls "the Anheuser-Busch defense: It's just beer! Can't we all just get along?" And, he says, that's just what big beer is counting on – people thinking only about what's in their glass, rather than how it got there. The problem is that "[Big Beer's] combination of distribution muscle and financial resources upend any semblance of a level playing field [for craft breweries]" says Noel. And there's also the lack of transparency, how companies like CBA, AB InBev, and others are "cultivating a landscape where Big Beer and craft beer are indistinguishable, where thousands of small breweries are allowed to grow only so large amid a handful of dominant players. And as always, it [Ab InBev] will be the most dominant player of all."
This infographic from CraftSense shows the AB InBev Brewer's Collective portfolio of crafty brands.
If the merger goes through, and early indications are that it will, Cisco and the other brands owned by CBA will be added to A-B's craft division, the Brewer's Collective. And to be fair, A-B and CBA leaders have yet to discuss details about exactly what the future will bring, according to a story in Brewbound.
For some it may not matter, the pending acquisition is unlikely to be a deal breaker for everyone. But it might be for consumers who buy in to the craft beer ethos: the idea that it's different, more about community and connection. For them, Cisco's authentic island vibe comes from beer made at the original Nantucket brewery. The "crafty" version that's consumed everywhere else is likely to have a corporate after taste.

*Cisco Beer Garden LLC, which operates the Cisco Beer Garden location in Seaport Boston, is independently owned by a Boston restauranteur. His portfolio includes the Globe Bar & Cafe, now closed, which holds a year round liquor license that he is attempting to transfer to Cisco Beer Garden LLC. Presumably, he purchased the licensing rights for the Cisco name. The beer served there is purchased from Craft Brew Alliance (soon to be 100% owned by AB InBev) and brewed at its Portsmouth, New Hampshire facility.
JR on November 17, 2019 at 4:27 pm
Not surprised to see this inevitable outcome based on the rise of the craft brew industry.
As someone who lives in the New Bedford area I'll think twice about my enthusiasm for supporting another corporate behemoth trying to buy its way into my wallet (Cisco Kitchen & Bar).
AJ on January 9, 2020 at 7:42 am
The original owners of the Brewery and distillery on Nantucket are actually in control of the New Bedford location. They just wanted to bring a cool, laid-back fun vibe back to that area after years of Davy's Locker being shut down…
Rob Vandenabeele on January 10, 2020 at 12:29 am
Fair enough AJ, but the beer they will be serving in New Bedford will be coming from the CBA facility in Portsmouth, NH – which is owned by AB-InBev. I'm sure it will do well, and be popular for some consumers. Those of us who care about craft beer will probably take our business to one of the craft brewery taprooms in the area; Moby Dick, Canned Heat, or Troy City to name a few.

A comparison of four tests, used in clinical trials to determine if a patient will respond to treatment with checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-L1, found considerable disagreement as to their results — suggesting that patient misclassification could be a major problem in this type of cancer immunotherapy.
The findings are the result of an unusual collaboration involving pharmaceutical giants Merck, AstraZeneca, Genentech/Roche, and Bristol-Myers Squibb; the diagnostic companies Ventana and Dako; research organizations, such as the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) and the American Association for Cancer Research; and academic research institutions, including the University of Colorado Cancer Center.
The study's first part, "PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry Assays for Lung Cancer: Results from Phase 1 of the 'Blueprint PD-L1 IHC Assay Comparison Project'," was published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.
These four tests are used to determine if a tumor is dependent of PD-L1 for its growth and survival, as studies show that only tumors with high levels of PD-L1 respond to this type of immune checkpoint blockade therapy.
Researchers used 38 samples of human non-small cell lung cancer. All the tests signaled that half the tumors were PD-L1 positive and that five were negative. But when it came to 14 samples, making up 37 percent of the available samples, test results varied. While some tests signaled a tumor to be positive, others ruled it was negative for PD-L1.
In other words, in more than one-third of cases, the choice to offer a patient anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy may be flawed.
"Immunotherapy is evolving very fast and with very encouraging results in lung cancer as well as other cancers. However, a main issue is how to select patients for these therapies," Fred R. Hirsch MD, PhD, an investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and CEO of IASLC, and lead author of the study, said in a news release.
"Each company is pursuing their own predictive PD-L1 assay in order to select patients. However, the PD-L1 assays are all different in terms of antibody used and cut-off values for positive/negative results," he added.
To get a clear picture of how the tests compare, Hirsch initiated the unique collaboration with support from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In clinical practice, each test is developed and used together with a specific drug, so that each pharmaceutical company only uses its own test before treating patients with the company's immunotherapy. All of the four drugs — Keytruda (pembrolizumab), Opdivo (nivolumab), Tecentriq (atezolizumab), and the not-yet FDA-approved durvalumab — work in the same way. That is, they block the interaction between the PD-1 molecule on immune T-cells and the PD-L1 protein on tumor cells.
So, in theory, all four tests — measuring the amount of PD-L1 found on the surfaces of tumor cells in patients — should do equally well in predicting the response to all four drugs.
"Rather than black and white, this can be a grey area. It is not that some tumors express PD-L1 and others do not, but rather that tumors express PD-L1 across a gradient and at some cutoff point in that gradient, the expression becomes clinically relevant," Hirsch said.
While three of the four tests tended to show similar results, the study demonstrated that such a cutoff did not really exist, and the tests had to be evaluated by their own scales.
Research will now continue into the next phase, in which test results will also be compared to patient outcomes, further assessing the validity of the tests.

Jets Coach Foster Alhassan Asked To Step Aside
Under-fire Mighty Jets boss Foster Alhassan has been asked to step aside following a fallout with the club�s supporters,Ghanasoccernet.com understands.
The ex-Real Sportive boss has come under intense pressure from fans following their downward spiral in the Ghana Premier League.
They have questioned his technical competence and accused him of losing the dressing room control which has seen their season go from bad to worse.
They lie just three points above the relegation zone after they suffered their 9th defeat of the campaign against Liberty Professional on Sunday and the fans feel he will be unable to safeguard their top-flight status.
Management will hold a meeting on Tuesday to discuss his long-term future with the club.
Jets appointed him after head coach Jonas Amissah quit the club after he was re-assigned to the youth team two matches into the league.

U.S. Judge Abdul Kallon Is the No. 1 Reason I Can No Longer Support Barack Obama
Abdul Kallon
Polls show the 2012 presidential race is a virtual dead heat, even though Republican candidate Mitt Romney is deeply flawed. That suggests quite a few Democrats who enthusiastically supported Barack Obama in 2008 are not so enthusiastic at the moment. In fact, it seems a significant number of them are prepared to stay home on election day in November.
If the election were held tomorrow, I would be among those Democrats. I could write a 100-page treatise on the reasons I have come to hold Barack Obama in utter contempt. They all have to do with Obama's stupefying failures on justice issues, which were driven home again last week by the resentencing of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman to almost six years in prison for "crimes" that do not exist under the law.
As a resident of Alabama, I see the Siegelman fiasco as clear evidence that a modern strain of Stalinism has come to the American South. But on an even more personal level, my disdain for Obama can be summed up in two words--Abdul Kallon.
Probably the single most important personnel decision Obama has made in our state was the appointment of the 43-year-old Kallon as a federal judge in the Northern District of Alabama. It's a lifetime job, and unless Kallon meets an untimely demise, he could be handing down rulings for another 40 years or more.
That's a scary thought because my wife and I have had two cases before Kallon--and he butchered them both. I've already provided details on Kallon's bungling of our lawsuit against unethical debt collectors. Now, let's consider "his Honor's" actions in a case that resulted in the state-sponsored theft of the full property rights to our house.
Kallon used something called the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to cheat us out of our rights to due process. The record clearly shows that no hearing was conducted on a sheriff's sale of our house, even though we properly contested it under Alabama law. But Kallon allowed our constitutional rights to be trashed by using an arcane legal doctrine that probably is unknown to all but a tiny handful of Americans. And even among lawyers who are well acquainted with it, the Rooker-Feldman doctrine is the subject of spirited debate.
Rooker-Feldman essentially holds that a state judge can violate your constitutional rights but you can do nothing about it in federal court. In other words, those "federally protected rights" we all hear about in high-school civics class are not federally protected at all. If a state judge issues a ruling that violates any of your constitutional rights--due process, equal protection, you name it--Rooker-Feldman might block any chance you have for redress in federal court.
I would argue, along with quite a few lawyers, that Rooker-Feldman is unconstitutional. But that is a post for another day. My point now is this: Regardless of one's views on Rooker-Feldman, Judge Abdul Kallon clearly misapplied it in our case.
Kallon has an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth and a law degree from Penn, so he isn't stupid. Rooker-Feldman is controversial, but it's not all that complicated, so I have every reason to believe that Kallon comprehends what the law actually says. The problem, I suspect, is that Kallon came from the pro-corporate Bradley Arant law firm, where he once made a handsome living by defending employers who discriminate.
Why would a Democrat like Obama nominate a guy who clearly is out to protect corporate and institutional interests? I have no idea, but it has caused me to sour on the president. And my experience with Kallon is just more evidence that Obama has done almost nothing to clean up the justice-related mess he inherited from George W. Bush. In fact, I feel like I might as well have voted for John McCain back in 2008.
I've written quite a bit about the battle over our property, and a post titled "Going On the Attack Against the Thugs Who Stole Our House" provides a summary. A post titled "Showdown in Shelby County, Part II," includes a video of our house being stolen--live and in color--on the courthouse steps in Shelby County, Alabama.
Mrs. Schnauzer and I filed a federal lawsuit over this charade, but Kallon ruled that he did not have subject-matter jurisdiction to hear the case, based on Rooker-Feldman. A little layman's legal research shows that the judge botched the case on relatively simple grounds. That suggests to me that the clearly intelligent Kallon is taking directions from his Bradley Arant buddies, which would amount to a federal crime called obstruction of justice. (That, too, is a post for another day.)
For now, we will cite a few issues where Kallon went wrong. And we will start with a brief explanation of Rooker-Feldman. It's actually a combination of two U.S. Supreme Court cases, one from 1923 and one from 1983. What do these two cases, 60 years apart, mean in the real world. Wikipedia provides a short, sweet summation:
The doctrine holds that lower United States federal courts other than the Supreme Court should not sit in direct review of state court decisions unless Congress has specifically authorized such relief. In short, federal courts below the Supreme Court must not become a court of appeals for state court decisions. The state court plaintiff has to find a state court remedy, or obtain relief from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Given that the nation's highest court hears only a tiny fraction of cases that come before it, Rooker-Feldman means that many victims of constitutional violations in state court have to hope for relief from the same court that screwed them in the first place.
Several exceptions exist to Rooker-Feldman, and some of them applied to our case. I feel certain that Abdul Kallon is smart enough to know that. But his actions suggest that granting us relief would have conflicted with the predetermined outcome that had been assigned to our case.
Here are brief looks at four specific issues on which Kallon cheated us:
* Mrs. Schnauzer's Claims Regarding the House She Jointly Owns--It was undisputed in our federal lawsuit that my wife is joint owner of our house. It also was undisputed that she was not a party to the state lawsuit our neighbor filed, resulting in a judgment of about $1,500 against me. A U.S. Supreme Court case styled Lance v. Dennis, 546 U.S. 459 (2006) governs, and it holds:
The Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not bar actions by nonparties to the earlier state-court judgment simply because, for purposes of preclusion law, they could be considered in privity with a party to the judgment.
Kallon clearly had jurisdiction to hear my wife's claims that her property interests had been unconstitutionally violated. He unlawfully refused to hear those claims.
* My Claims Regarding the House I Jointly Own--It's undisputed that I filed a claim of exemption regarding the notice of levy that had been placed on our house over the $1,500 judgment. It's undisputed that Shelby County Judge Hub Harrington, contrary to procedural and statutory law, conducted no hearing on my claim of exemption. The governing case is styled Dale v. Moore, 121 F. 3d 624 (11th Cir., 1997), and it states that Rooker-Feldman applies only where . . .
the party seeking relief in federal court had a reasonable opportunity to raise its federal claims in the state-court proceeding.
I filed a motion stating that our neighbor, Mike McGarity, had not contested my claim of exemption, so by law, the sheriff's sale could not proceed. I cited Rule 69(f) of the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure and showed that was binding law where no contest had been filed. Harrington conducted no hearing on the matter and allowed the sheriff's sale to proceed, violating my rights to due process and equal protection of the law. To make matters worse, I was never served with the order that Harrington supposedly issued, so I had zero opportunity to be heard by the judge who ordered an auction of our house.
The constitutional violation here could not be more clear. From Dykes v. Hosemann, 743 F. 2d 1488 (11th Cir., 1984):
At a minimum, due process requires timely notice, in advance of a hearing. . . . Furthermore, "before a person is deprived of a protected interest, he must be afforded an opportunity for some kind of hearing."
I received no notice of Harrington's alleged order, and I had no opportunity to be heard, meaning Rooker-Feldman did not bar my claims. And Dykes spells out a constitutional violation that Kallon unlawfully chose to ignore.
* A Final State-Court Judgment? What Final State-Court Judgment?--Rooker-Feldman can be a pain for those who have been treated unlawfully in state courts. But it comes with significant limitations. Perhaps the most important one is spelled out in Nicholson v. Shafe, 558 F. 3d 1266 (11th Cir., 2009):
Pursuant to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, lower federal courts are precluded from exercising appellate jurisdiction over final state-court judgments.
We were contesting an unlawful sheriff's sale. It did not involve a state-court judgment, final or otherwise. It's questionable whether it even involved a state-court order. If it did, I never was served with one.
By the clear language of Nicholson, my claim was not barred by Rooker-Feldman. Kallon unlawfully barred it anyway.
* Inextricably Intertwined?--In some cases, a federal claim can be barred if it is found to be "inextricably intertwined" with a state-court judgment. What does that mean? A case styled Casale v. Tillman, 558 F. 3d 1258 (11th Circ., 2009) spells it out:
A claim is inextricably intertwined if it would effectively nullify the state court judgment . . . or it succeeds only to the extent that the state court wrongly decided the issues.
My federal claim did not contest the $1,500 state-court judgment. In fact, I did not contest any state-court action. I contested the unlawful actions of Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry in allowing a sale to proceed, contrary to clear law. I also contested Judge Harrington's unlawful interference in a case that statutorily rests with the sheriff. But neither of those claims had anything to do with whether the $1,500 judgment was or was not correctly decided. And neither would nullify the state-court judgment.
The claims simply stated that if someone was going to try to make a claim on our property, they had to do it as prescribed by Alabama law.
These are only a few of the wrongheaded decisions Abdul Kallon made in the case involving our house. And as you can probably imagine, when someone messes with your house--in our case, it's one we've owned for 23 years, the only home we've known as a couple--it gets personal.
To be cheated by a judge . . . who was appointed by Barack Obama . . . who received my vote for president in 2008 . . . well, that sets off an overpowering sense of outrage in me.
Abdul Kallon has pretty much become the face of the Obama administration in my home. And it's an ugly face that tells me nothing has changed on the justice front since the George W. Bush years.
How two men of color can look the other way while our foundation of civil rights cracks beneath us is incomprehensible to me.
I long have contended that Obama would be sailing toward easy re-election if he had acted responsibly on justice issues. But he chose to "look forward, not backward," allowing GOP criminals like Karl Rove to raise vast sums of campaign money, and now he's in a horse race that could wind up with Mitt Romney in the White House.
If Obama winds up as a one-term president, it's exactly what he deserves.
Swatek--Appellate Brief
I hear you LS, I share your frustration/disappointment with the Obama administration, and I admire your principled stand.
Despite my disappointment and frustration I am going to vote for the President because as awful as things are, especially for African Americans, they would be a thousand times worse under a Romney/TeaPublican administration.
If President Obama is a one term President it may be what he deserves, but it's certainly not what we the people deserve.

Chautauqua Notes | Ethical Challenges of Finally Fixing the Financial Crisis: Fair Deals vs. New Deals, Submitted by rcwhalen on 08/09/2012
Ethical Challenges of Finally Fixing the Financial Crisis: Fair Deals vs. New Deals
Below is an outline for my August 7, 2012 presentation at the Chautauqua Institution, Chautauqua, New York, earlier this week.
When someone asks about the ethical challenges of fixing the financial crisis, that question opens up multiple avenues of discussion. Everything about the breakdown in national trust since 2008 reflects a crisis of ethics. Ethics is the key question behind the entire event that we have now decided to call the financial crisis. Personal, institutional and national ethics all come into play in this search for supposed solutions. But in asking and then discussing this question, we may not necessarily reach the conclusion that at first seems so obvious to many Americans today – namely that the solution to the financial crisis is more laws and regulation.
I. To start our conversation, let's first define a couple of terms. First, fair dealing as a unique American concept. Second, the so-called "New Deal" of the 1930s. Economist Paul Krugman says that Americans need another New Deal, but it is my view that a fair deal consistent with traditional American values regarding politics and economics is a better idea. We'll start with the New Deal and work backwards.

Why would a Democrat like Obama nominate a guy who clearly is out to protect corporate and institutional interests?
Just ask Rush Limbaugh-he's quoting Artur Davis now!
The state court plaintiff has to find a state court remedy, or obtain relief from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Good luck on that one Mr. Schnauzer. The Supremes & the feds are too busy covering up past crimes to deal with a state injustice!
Good point, Jeff. You can go to the same court that cheated you already or to a court that would never hear your case in a million years. In other words, our right to due process/equal protection, etc. are not federally protected at all. They are "protected" by a state judge who likely to be a hack. Of course, a lot of federal judges are hacks, too.
Before the internet was so F**Ked up, Lincoln's work was found as follows:
In his "offices," that he was able to get as a FEDERAL "lawyer," et
Cetera:
Above the deliberation of the "jury room," was a "trap door," whereby "Lincoln" ET AL were able to know what was going on, AND Lincoln was 100% about the CORPORATION, a Rockefeller "Trust." The PLACE WHERE THE PEOPLE "BROKE BREAD?" Well there was the ability to SPY by the "Lincoln law firm," disgusting, the transparency was only for the benefit of the "Judicial and Corporate USSA."
But of course, oil wells, killing indiscriminately as "collateral damage, women, children" and then there is the building of the "Iron Horse" for the "capitalist class," too, same yesterday and today!
VIRTUAL CREDIT HIDDEN IN THE FED.
FIRE caused the loss of almost all of "Lincoln's cases." Surprise, surprise, "fire sales" are the mantra for the "fraudulent inducements" and "transference of wealth," to THE FED!
Ah, keep baited breath here for holding onto tomorrow's truths unfolding! Obama was-IS the ICON: "ABE LINCOLN."
WHAT?! LAWYER CLASS. And to be in our real time, a FRAUD.
Unconstitutionally, the LAWYER CLASS-LESS in America are in the rackets of "Who Do We Cheat 'Em and How," or suffer the consequences - see JFk, et al.
Letting "all" to THE paying DUES at a B.A.R., during the GREAT DEPRESSION, et Cetera?
Who made money? Bootleggers and LAWYERS. Abe's icon rules.
The knowing know, not to worry all bets are in on the "Judicial," whose management was and is: GOLDMAN SACHS.
"GS"
Now with the Judicial in the U.S. as a managed "retirement portfolio" by the criminals GS, there is no doubt, I would HOPE, to see what was intended by the US President "Obama Barry," "Lincoln" "promise" TO keep the corporation as how many hundred years?
See American Free Press for the coverage of LARRY SINCLAIR and "President" Mr. Big "O."
THANK the universal common sense of true words, LS, Roger Shuler, for the investigative reporting you provide to the mostly? non appreciative.
You have your own tally and the unseen realm has you with a perfect "dime," that is a "10!" in the getting understanding to the people of America.
thanks forever/rk
Roger, think about this - if Romney is elected Karl Rove will be back in power. I for one do not relish living in a coutry run by Roves.
I hear you, and I share your concern. It almost seems, however, as if Karl Rove never left the White House. If we are going to have corrupt federal judges, I would prefer they be appointed by someone I didn't vote for.
To vote for Obama and then be cheated (twice!) by Abdul Kallon . . . well, it makes me want to puke.
You are looking at the "macro" view, and that's a very legitimate view. I'm taking more of a "micro" view. I see my vote as endorsing the qualifications and actions of that person. And from that perspective, I simply cannot endorse Barack Obama.
Please know that I will not vote for Romney under any circumstances. I will either sit it out or consider a third-party candidate--unless, of course, something dramatic changes with Obama. But I don't see that happening.
in due timely manner, the powers that be?, the course in fate!,let all dems vote for romney and get the enivitable over with, if theres no super polihero, in site.to start a new globel CIVILiation! through a higher consiousness of all, out of russia and china, the american prophet Edgar cacey, has predicted the arib springs state by state ,(inc. syria, then iran next} bless us one and all, we will need it.. av

sometimes it is just a case of voting for the lesser of two evils. Mr. Obama clearly did not clean up the Justice dept. Why he failed to do so is beyond me.
Without justice people will be forced to live in tyranny & in the end will wind up living like those in any dictatorship. When that happens, with all the guns there are in the U.S.A., there will be problems.

Thanks for writing, Michael. Rooker-Feldman is bad law. But it's doubly bad when judges misapply it. In the real world, it becomes an excuse for federal judges not to do their jobs. And it means that our constitutional rights, in many cases, are not federally protected at all. They are "protected" by the state you happen to live in, not the "United States." This is a classic form of "states' rights law," where the power of the states usurps the constitution.

Pearson, Gujarat and editorial independence
The next time one of its publications claims editorial independence, it'll be a little less credible.
Pearson, the company that owns the Economist, Financial Times and fDi Magazine—an offshoot of the latter—can no longer credibly claim that its publications enjoy editorial independence. It just showed that the proprietors of the company can overrule the decisions of one of its publications' editorial management team, albeit in response to vociferous lobbying. Surely it is reasonable to assume that if Pearson's management can yield to one group of well-connected lobbyists, it can also yield to others? Of course, if governments exert pressure on media companies it is coercion; if shrill members of 'civil society' do it, then it is not only acceptable, but accepted.
We are talking about the episode of fDi Magazine's Personality of the Year 2009 Award, which now has been given to the Indian state of Gujarat. Gujarat became a personality after the Gujarati personality it was initially awarded to was suddenly found unworthy of the award—although the factors causing the unworthiness were not hidden to the people who initially gave the award. When it first recognised Narendra Modi—fairly in the Acorn's opinion—for his achievements in attracting investments to Gujarat, fDi magazine certainly knew that his role in the post-Godhra riots of 2002 was under judicial scrutiny. Now, there have been arguments that Mr Modi's achievements are overstated—just as there have been arguments that Manmohan Singh's role in the post-1991 reforms, and indeed those reforms themselves have been overstated. It is inconceivable that a publication with the FT pedigree could have been unaware of these criticisms. (See V Anantha Nageswaran's post). They still chose to give the award to Mr Modi.
But Mr Modi's detractors couldn't digest that. They targeted the management of Pearson in an email campaign, dropping names of people and organisations that Pearson's CEO was affiliated to and demanded not only that the award be taken back, but also a "public statement of regret" from the publication.
In such circumstances, you would expect a media organisation of repute to stand behind the decision made by its editors. It would not have been difficult for Pearson's management to respond to Mr Modi's critics—that he is innocent until proven guilty by the Indian justice system, and that they would be prepared to rescind the award in the event that he is pronounced guilty.
But in this case Pearson caved in. In a laughable move, it gave the Personality of the Year award to a region, and to boot "decided to highlight the geographic regions of all the other winners." But it is unclear whether Iraq's al-Anbar province, Nigeria's Lagos state, Denmark, Mexico's Yucatan state and United States' Louisiana are also recognised as 'personalities' now (psst if you are a critic of Bobby Jindal—you know what to do!). fDi magazine also airbrushed Mr Modi from its webpages. (The original pages live in Google cache, for now).
Pearson comes out of this one with its reputation dented. The next time one of its publications claims editorial independence, it'll be a little less credible. That's a pity, because without the presumption of independence, it would only be fair to question the motives of the highly opinionated views coming from the Economist and the Financial Times. You know, someone might just have dropped the name of the president of the club that the editor is a member of…
Tailpiece: This episode shows that Mr Modi's critics are the mirror image of his supporters. The former see him exclusively in the dubious context of the post-Godhra riots (where he has much to answer for) while the latter see nothing but the post-Godhra economic take-off that took place under his watch. And by ignoring reasonable arguments from the other side, they damage their own.

True. But there is no debating the fact that Gujarat has become the leading investment destination in the country. Anyone who challenges that is just hating.
On the other hand, he has not been indicted in any capacity for instigating the post-Godhra riots. Yes, it is under judicial scrutiny, but until it comes out with a finding, he is innocent.
And an innocent man shouldn't have to go through what he is.
Well written, though i think the main learning from this is different.
The main learning from this episode is that the media is hardly the pillar of dignity, rectitude, probity and all those impressive sounding hollow words that their talking heads love to use would have us believe.
A bunch of connected, motivated and shrill sounding people can easily knock these guys from their perch. Very very easily.

I find it slightly amusing that US-based Indian commies continue to get orgasms by getting some yankee outfit to bash Modi or some limey dude to diss him. Is there a world outside Modi-baiting for these weirdos? Most people — I included — would not even have known about FDI's award to Modi but for the "activism" of these clowns.
Modi's detractors are still unhappy !

Very unfortunate post, Nitin
Frankly, there is very little that Mr. Modi can do to wash away the blood spatter he put on India's character with his clearly inept — and potentially criminal — leadership during the pogrom that happened on his watch
Trying to airbrush this past, pointing to technicalities of his non-indictment, and seeking to restore his reputation by pointing away from the horrors on his watch — this is a surprising and unmerited support from the preeminent Indian blog of our times
I do agree about the smaller point about Pearson. The sell-out of global media has gone on for quite some time now, and is one reason why thoughtful people read their words with a cynical eye
Speaking from the political right (albeit not its fascist end)
Primary Red
Primary Red,
Why does every opinion where Mr Modi is not explicitly condemned for post-Godhra 2002 have to be construed as "surprising and unmerited support" or pointing away from the horrors on his watch?
I know there are people who have a single point agenda over Modi and Gujarat, see and insist that everyone else see everything in the universe must be seen through that lens. I see no point in everyone else joining them.
Not every comment that does not explicitly condemn Mr Modi is an endorsement.
As Kundera has so eloquently pointed out, the constant political and moral battle in these matters is between memory and forgetting
Forgetting enables inadvertent rehabilitation of people with blood on their conscience. This is surely in no one's interest
Sorry to have riled you
Jai_C says:
Thanks PR…. was beginning to believe that cheering Modi was some kind of certifying test to be on the political right.
Pretty interesting "morality" this on which the non-fascist Right and the vocal fringe Left share a deep commitment to an abiding anti-Modi passion. Moral of the story is that politics makes for strange bedfellows alright, but so does morality. 😉
Udayan says:
There is a danger in becoming Teesta Setalvad. So completely does the memory of one event consume her that she loses all sense of proportion and balance.
Obsession is just as dangerous as memory.
Udayan:
Respect your POV but must humbly disagree
I certainly do not obsess over Mr. Modi. He doesn't deserve such respect. But I refuse to forget the victims of the pogrom under his watch. How can anyone possibly balance their horror with the equivalent of trains running on time?
It's precisely the natural societal instinct for balance that people like Mr. Modi crave. As time passes and memory fades, they do other (sometimes even good) things, the rest of us get busy with our lives, and soon we are weighing the recent good against the distant horrible. Eventually we forget and our inadvertent complicity is complete. How else does forgetting happen?
Can there be repentance and absolution? Certainly — but the former must surely precede the latter. I ain't seen no repentance, I ain't giving no absolution
kedar says:
Interesting that Mr.Primary Red delcares in every comment that Mr.Modi has "blood on his hands/conscience/whatever".
Each new evidence that comes out is in favour of Modi–the three missing days before the army arrived, the fake bajrang dal activists' interview, the fake mass graves, the mega-meetings of jihadis in Godhra before the event, etc etc.
But we know what Mr. Primary Red would say even when whatever committee the supreme court appoints, lets Mr.Modi go.
At the same time, we need to understand that his intention is to provide justice to the "victims of pogrom", not to be obsessed with "Modi-bashing". Subtle isnt it!
There is, as they say, "always something up the magicians sleeve" that would continue to bother him to the end of his life.
Thankfully, there is no need to satisfy skeptics.
There is a need to first of all to conduct an rigorous exercise regarding how to think about Godhra. Because without understanding what happenned in Godhra one can never understand its consequent fallout that took place in Gujarat 2002.
An entire cottage industry of commies – islamists – and international ngo groups have emerged after feb 2002 with a co ordinated campaign that has an entire range of propaganda materials. It includes language like pogrom – genocide – final solutions – passengers themselves setting bogie on fire – RSS using train fire as Nazi used Reichstag fire to consolidate in power and so on.
This cottage industry might stage a massive and sustained nude show to create mass distraction but that does not mean we get thrown off from learning vital lessons from Godhra like attacks that is most likely to happen in future as well.
The Indian army had mobilized all across the international border after the Dec 13 2001 attack on Sansand Bhavan. This mass mobilization of Indian troops under Operation Parakram had made the pakistanis quite jittery and they most likely activated one of their islamic cells within India to conduct the Godhra operation.
The attack was primed for the maximum effect as only the compartment with women kar sevaks was attacked.
Now lesson number one to be learnt out of Godhra is that it has happenned once and it can happen again. The islamic cells within our borders might stage such attacks to create large scale internal destabilization in future conflict situations as well.
But the entire entire thinking on Godhra is on the fallout in Gujarat while the essential lessons of sleeper cells operating within and launching undercover attacks during conflict situations is lost in the din.
Another aspect that most liberal minds willingly dismiss is that it is not just Gujarat but most parts of India as well that lives with certain ethnic histories of conflict with islamists. This past becomes part of collective memory and of ones consciousness. Most commie-islamists academics deride and classify this memory as "hate" and "communalism" in order to peddle their own agendas of political expansion.
But the post Godhra fallout in Gujarat affirms that such a consciousness is present and certain events trigger a kind of mass rage that cannot be contained. If a similar kind of attack would have happenned in Bihar under Laloo there would have been a similar fallout and would have been equally hard to contain. But the planners did choose their site with care.
Rupture and destabilization are linked closely together and in India it is always going to be close call because history is like that. The nehruvian secular state has tried hard but has been unable to erase that past which still lives on in collective memory.
photonman says:
@Pankaj
As you rightly point out, collective memory plays a big role in understanding Godhra and its aftermath. IMO you're spot on about the strategic implications of such an event.
However, what happened in Gujarat (both the massacre and the subsequent riots) are crimes under the law. And the law doesn't consider 'collective memory' a mitigating factor in a crime.
IMO a transparent and speedy trial – like what has been happening after the Mumbai attacks – was in order. Bringing the perpetrators to book would've also made a small beginning towards a more positive collective memory; thereby setting the stage for addressing the strategic issues you raised.
Unfortunately, even given the number of dead – easily more than 5 times that of Mumbai attacks – the end of the trial is nowhere in sight. I would say that none of the political parties are really interested in a speedy trial.
DaveyBoy says:
@ Primary Red
By condemning a man who you hold culpable in your personal view but who is innocent in accordance with the laws of natural justice and the rule of law, inviolable jurisprudential phenomena you see as mere 'technicality', you're no better than the man you vilify. After all, isn't that what Modi is accused of doing? That's real talk.
Chandra says:
Interesting Primary Red thought Nehru's "liberalism" saved India from becoming a Pakistan in a comment on a previous post. Well, of course, we also know "liberal" Nehru thought RSS killed Gandhi and banned it, with no proof what so ever – but who says leftist liberals need proof to do anything, let alone to do justice.
So now apparently the fascist Modi has blood on his hands. Can we say Manmohan has blood on his hands because he didn't protect the 500 people from Islamic terror massacre in a one single incident, ignoring all other terror attacks? But we forget blood-on-his-hands works in mysterious ways. It has be the right type of blood, of course, for the so-called liberals to accept it is blood.
Too bad all lefties think all righties are fascists. According to them, one can't be in the right and not be fascist! May be a non-fascist right ideologue is on the wrong side….better look around.
-from the right
"And by ignoring reasonable arguments from the other side, they damage their own."
The sad fact is that, today, there is no one truth on the issue. There is no single, impartial body to deliver this truth for the country at large in a timely fashion. (You do have the court system, but that works at a glacial pace). So you get many truth's, opposing points of view, each equally valid, in the minds of the proponents.
In such a situation, reasonable arguments do not find any traction. Only a persistent, shrill, over the top, argument will get you anywhere, and that is what we are seeing today.

So a professional organisation failed to undersand the words professional ethics and forgot & mixed the Human Right & Economic Development.
One person may be BAD DAD for SON whereas he can be GOOD DAD for DAUGHTER.
Please we must not allow the two different subject & move forward keeping in view HISTORY & PRESENT. Human Right violation may be (yet to be decided by honorable court, we are not the judge) & Economic Development.

Biomarkers 20
Albumin is a protein made by the liver. A serum albumin test measures the amount of this protein in the clear liquid portion of the blood.
Albumin/Globulin Ratio
The ratio of albumin to globulin (A/G ratio) is calculated from measured albumin and calculated globulin (total protein - albumin). Normally, there is a little more albumin than globulins, giving a normal A/G ratio of slightly over 1. Because disease states affect the relative amounts of albumin and globulin, the A/G ratio may provide a clue as to the cause of the change in protein levels. A low A/G ratio may reflect overproduction of globulins, such as seen in multiple myeloma or autoimmune diseases, or underproduction of albumin, such as may occur with cirrhosis, or selective loss of albumin from the circulation, as may occur with kidney disease (nephrotic syndrome). A high A/G ratio suggests underproduction of immunoglobulins as may be seen in some genetic deficiencies and in some leukemias. More specific tests, such as liver enzyme tests and serum protein electrophoresis, must be performed to make an accurate diagnosis. With a low total protein that is due to plasma expansion (dilution of the blood), the A/G ratio will typically be normal because both albumin and globulin will be diluted to the same extent.
Alkaline Phosphatase
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a protein found in all body tissues. Tissues with higher amounts of ALP include the liver, bile ducts, and bone.
Alanine transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme found in the highest amounts in the liver. Injury to the liver results in release of the substance into the blood.
AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is an enzyme found in high amounts in liver, heart, and muscle cells. It is also found in lesser amounts in other tissues.
Bilirubin, Total
Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment found in bile, a fluid made by the liver. A small amount of older red blood cells are replaced by new blood cells every day. Bilirubin is left after these older blood cells are removed. The liver helps break down bilirubin so that it can be removed from the body in the stool.
A ratio between a person's BUN and blood creatinine to help determine what is causing these concentrations to be higher than normal. The ratio of BUN to creatinine is usually between 10:1 and 20:1. An increased ratio may be due to a condition that causes a decrease in the flow of blood to the kidneys, such as congestive heart failure or dehydration. It may also be seen with increased protein, from gastrointestinal bleeding, or increased protein in the diet. The ratio may be decreased with liver disease (due to decrease in the formation of urea) and malnutrition.
You have more calcium in your body than any other mineral. Calcium has many important jobs. The body stores more than 99 percent of its calcium in the bones and teeth to help make and keep them strong. The rest is throughout the body in blood, muscle and the fluid between cells. Your body needs calcium to help muscles and blood vessels contract and expand, to secrete hormones and enzymes and to send messages through the nervous system.
CO2 is carbon dioxide. Measures the amount of carbon dioxide in the liquid part of your blood, called the serum. In the body, most of the CO2 is in the form of a substance called bicarbonate (HCO3-). Therefore, the CO2 blood test is really a measure of your blood bicarbonate level.
Chloride is a type of electrolyte. It works with other electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, and carbon dioxide (CO2). These substances help keep the proper balance of body fluids and maintain the body's acid-base balance. This is a measure of the amount of chloride in the fluid portion (serum) of the blood.
The creatinine blood test measures the level of creatinine in the blood. This test is done to see how well your kidneys work.
Egfr African American
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working. Specifically, it estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute. Glomeruli are the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood.
Egfr Non-Afr. American
GFR-NON AFRICAN AMERICAN
Globulin
Globulins is the collective term for most blood proteins other than albumin. Identifying the types of globulins can help diagnose certain disorders. Globulins are roughly divided into three groups: alpha, beta, and gamma globulins. Gamma globulines include various types of antibodies such as immunoglobulins (Ig) M, G, and A.
A blood glucose test measures the amount of a sugar called glucose in a sample of your blood. Glucose is a major source of energy for most cells of the body, including those in the brain. The hormones insulin and glucagon help control blood glucose levels.
Potassium is a mineral that the body needs to work normally. It helps nerves and muscles communicate. It also helps move nutrients into cells and waste products out of cells. A diet rich in potassium helps to offset some of sodium's harmful effects on blood pressure.
Protein, Total
The total protein is the total amount of two classes of proteins, albumin and globulin that are found in the fluid portion of your blood. Proteins are important parts of all cells and tissues. Your albumin helps prevent fluid from leaking out of blood vessels and your globulins are an important part of your immune system.
Sodium is a substance that the body needs to work properly it is vital to normal body processes, including nerve and muscle function
Urea Nitrogen (Bun)
BUN stands for blood urea nitrogen. Urea nitrogen is what forms when protein breaks down. BUN measures the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood.
CORTISOL, LC/MS/MS, SALIVA, 4 SAMPLES #18921 (6 Biomarkers)
Also known as: CORTISOL LCMSMS SALIVA 4 SAMPLES

DHEA Sulfate, Immunoassay #402 (1 Biomarkers)
Also known as: Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate, DHEA SO4, DHEA Sulfate Immunoassay, DHEAS, Transdehydroandrosterone
DHEA SULFATE
DHEA-sulfate test measures the amount of DHEA-sulfate in the blood. DHEA-sulfate is a weak male hormone (androgen) produced by the adrenal gland in both men and women.
Iron, Total #571 (1 Biomarkers)
Also known as: Iron Total
Iron is a mineral that our bodies need for many functions. For example, iron is part of hemoglobin, a protein which carries oxygen from our lungs throughout our bodies. It helps our muscles store and use oxygen. Iron is also part of many other proteins and enzymes. Your body needs the right amount of iron. If you have too little iron, you may develop iron deficiency anemia. Causes of low iron levels include blood loss, poor diet, or an inability to absorb enough iron from foods. People at higher risk of having too little iron are young children and women who are pregnant or have periods.
Lipid Panel with Ratios #19543 (7 Biomarkers)
Also known as: Lipid Panel with Ratios (fasting), Lipid Profile with Ratios (fasting), Lipids
Chol/HDLC Ratio
Cholesterol, Total
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that occurs naturally in all parts of the body. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly. But if you have too much in your blood, it can combine with other substances in the blood and stick to the walls of your arteries. This is called plaque. Plaque can narrow your arteries or even block them. High levels of cholesterol in the blood can increase your risk of heart disease. Your cholesterol levels tend to rise as you get older. There are usually no signs or symptoms that you have high blood cholesterol, but it can be detected with a blood test. You are likely to have high cholesterol if members of your family have it, if you are overweight or if you eat a lot of fatty foods. You can lower your cholesterol by exercising more and eating more fruits and vegetables. You also may need to take medicine to lower your cholesterol.
LDL-Cholesterol
LDL/HDL Ratio
Non HDL Cholesterol
Triglycerides are a form of fat and a major source of energy for the body. This test measures the amount of triglycerides in the blood. Most triglycerides are found in fat (adipose) tissue, but some triglycerides circulate in the blood to provide fuel for muscles to work. After a person eats, an increased level of triglycerides is found in the blood as the body converts the energy not needed right away into fat. Triglycerides move via the blood from the gut to adipose tissue for storage. In between meals, triglycerides are released from fat tissue to be used as an energy source for the body. Most triglycerides are carried in the blood by lipoproteins called very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). High levels of triglycerides in the blood are associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), although the reason for this is not well understood. Certain factors can contribute to high triglyceride levels and to risk of CVD, including lack of exercise, being overweight, smoking cigarettes, consuming excess alcohol, and medical conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease.
Magnesium #622 (1 Biomarkers)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) #30740 (1 Biomarkers)
Also known as: Sex Hormone Binding Globulin SHBG, SHBG, TeBG, Testosterone-estrogen Binding Globulin
Sex Hormone Binding
The sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) test measures the concentration of SHBG in the blood. SHBG is a protein that is produced by the liver and binds tightly to testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and estradiol (an estrogen). In this bound state, it transports them in the blood as an inactive form. The amount of SHBG in circulation is affected by age and sex, by decreased or increased testosterone or estrogen production and can be affected by certain diseases and conditions such as liver disease, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, and obesity. Changes in SHBG levels can affect the amount of testosterone that is available to be used by the body's tissues. A total testosterone test does not distinguish between bound and unbound testosterone but determines the overall quantity of testosterone. If a person's SHBG level is not normal, then the total testosterone may not be an accurate representation of the amount of testosterone that is available to the person's tissues.

Q: how to reinitialize log4j2 configuration? After an initial configuration of log4j2 with:
Configurator.initialize(null, configLocation);

I would like to reinitialize it with a different URL
Configurator.initialize(null, configLocation2);

The problem is that the second call is ignored. I believe that once the LoggerContext is STARTED it will ignore reconfigurations.
Is there a way to do this?

A: Once you have a LoggerContext you can call
context.setConfigLocation(configLocation)

where configLocation is a URI.  That will force a reconfiguration.
