At Pace Gallery's new and former spaces on 25th Street in New York City, two Richard Tuttle exhibitions are currently on view that partly bookend the half-century career of the "poet" of lines, colors, and textures. In order to understand fully a Tuttle who crafted the minimal drawings of bright watercolors and graphite lines in the 1970s in basis, 70s Drawings, one should also visit Days, Muses and Stars, an unexpectedly whimsical show dedicated to three recent series of abstract, plywood wall sculptures that he adorned with spray paint and everyday objects as diverse as buckets and plastic containers. These were made at his new Maine studio with a daily commitment that he explained to me by saying: "I disappeared for so many hours at my studio that my wife had to check in to see if I was okay."

More than painting or sculpture, drawing prompts us to think about the intimacy of the process. We approach the paper to trace the artist's gestures and become familiar with the movement of the hand. Are you invested in conveying dramatic and evident gestures knowing that your viewer is in close proximity with the work?
One of our jobs as artists is to span polarities that cannot be spanned in the world. There is a polarity between handwriting—or mark-making—and "not." I remember being in third grade and feeling desperate that there were only two ways to make a line: proper or scrubby. There is Henri Matisse's line where you have this one line or you have a sort of scrubby line. There are a few recent drawings where I feel I actually did crack that and made a completely new, third kind of line, drawing from the inside out. Most lines—or if you want to say mark-makings—happen from the outside in. A flower or something similar always comes from the outside into the world onto paper, and I think that turned me off when I was a kid. I find drawing extremely important because you can have anything you can draw as yours—it's everyone's.

You need minimum materials to draw, just paper and pen.
I want to expand that idea. I was on a panel at the Morgan Library and Museum about drawing; I had just flown in and was sitting in a seat where I could watch the flight attendants. I could tell they had gone through rigorous training, and they could manually operate in a specific space. That training recalled my drawing experience in terms of an opening up of the senses. There's air in this room, and it would be an excellent way to draw from the inside out. I want to draw that line along the floor, with shades, colors, and the tensions between my position or your position. I'd probably use what I call the scrubbing line!
Because your process is so manual and instinctive, how do you see the difference between drawing and craft?
I'm a great fan of pottery because it shows us something important about art where the art object can transfer something onto consciousness that, then, becomes a part of another consciousness, and you can walk away with a richer consciousness. A potter tries to make the best pot possible before handing it over to a painter who tries to paint it as excellently as possible. The potter and the painter mutually think about each other's potentials. In "Ode to a Grecian Urn," John Keats writes, "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." That's the highest level of beauty humans can achieve. If you look at the pot or the drawing, they are not perfect at all; but when the fusing of the pot and the mind of the viewer come together, it achieves this perfection.
Could you walk me through some of the moments when you drew these lines currently on display?
basis25 (early 1970s), I remember, started with a graphite line, a question of taking a brush loaded with green color and going over it. One of the results that I'm seeing here with you is that the brush starts out delivering a lot of pigment, then it lightens up, and ends with another pile of pigment. You have a surprise where the green lightens up. You can see the pencil line stronger. I was up in Maine this weekend, walking in the woods, and I could bring that green to my mind.
Your eyes are the same green!
There are two kinds of artists: one who can use green and one who cannot.
Couldn't we say the same for yellow?
Yellow has ambiguity. It's why you find it in a lot of older art, because my feeling is that art serves our needs for our ambiguities and says to ambiguities that they're okay. When I first came to New York City, everybody walked around very proudly making art that was anti-nature, and you'd get extra points for that; but I had found the object to be rejected, and I can't reject the object. I love objects, and I learned so much from them and nature.

You mentioned your life in Maine. Do you seek direct influence from nature?
When I see something beautiful in nature, I would never think about painting that, because I know the replica would never be as good. This is sort of a little joke, but the only thing I would replicate is the structural line underneath the green in basis25. It's so simple, but there's no other way to put something like this in the world except as it is in a drawing. And that's my game. If I want something very much, I would rather you do it; but if I don't see anybody else doing it, then I have to do it.
What do colors signify in terms of connecting with certain elements of nature, such as green and leaves and trees or blue and water? Do tangible phenomena find their reflection in certain colors in your lexicon?
I should say that I've discovered quite recently that I am born one hundred percent ambiguous about everything and ambivalent about nothing. I will say that my colors have nothing to do with nature.
basis30 (early 1970s) is a stack of different colors, a rainbow, which finds its strength in the colors' diversity and potentials for different connotations.
This connects to something I can call polychromatic in my work. In the beginning of my career, this appeared more dramatically because I needed to have an idea for the material I drew. I think I reached this point where it's impossible to know. What you are actually looking at in this drawing might be ambiguous, but for me this drawing of matter is as real as somebody else drawing an apple. How can we live in this world where matter is fundamentally important to us and not know what it is? For this, I'm trying to find an art-based methodology, not a dried-up scientific analogy. So, as far as Richard Tuttle is concerned, that is a drawing of matter. I'm convinced that in the long run I'm going to battle, and I'm going to win.
The drawings are extremely subtle and modest in aesthetic and scale, but you're showing them almost half a century later at Pace Gallery's mega headquarters where the facade is made from volcanic stones and the interior architecture is built to elevate the art it contains. 8th Wood Slat(1974), which is a subtle intervention into the gallery space in the form of a thin piece of plywood, for example, stands out in this pristine environment.
In the last fifty years, the wall has stayed the same, but the floor has changed dramatically from wood and concrete. Floor was a psychological ground that you could step onto and make noise. With this show, I am more aware of time passing and polar opposites meeting on the same horizontal ground. People can enjoy the dissimilarity in the same unity; in the same exhibition, they can observe the unity and the disunity of things.

The "Request for Services" feature, the newest addition to GlobalTrade.net, aims to facilitate communication between importers/exporters and qualified international trade service providers anywhere, allowing international businesses easy access to reliable assistance.
In line with GlobalTrade.net's mission to create a solid network of global trade agents, the "Request for Services" capability acts as an interactive tool for importers and exporters in the process of planning their international trade operations. With more than 17,000 agents, distributors, and import/export service providers listed in the directory, this landmark component will allow importers and exporters to articulate their needs and receive multiple quotes, all for free.
Users can simply list their import/export service needs in the request form, which is subsequently sent to a team of international trade professionals. The team then examines potential service providers in the target region and matches the user with the best fit, sending back a response within 48 hours.
"With this tool, we have developed a quick and easy solution for importers and exporters to find qualified service providers who can help enable their international trade operations," says Etienne Vauchez, President of GlobalTrade.net.
GlobalTrade.net remains the only provider of this breakthrough service, which is offered at no charge. While there are major B2B lead generation websites such as Vendorseek and Quinstreet in the U.S. and Companeo in Europe, they do not currently offer lead generation services for any cross-border transactions.
"We are proud to be the only existing matchmaking tool for international trade services," adds Mr. Vauchez.
As the ultimate resource for the international trade services community, GlobalTrade.net allows importers and exporters around the world to access a vast directory of international trade service providers as well as market reports, tips, and news. Furthermore, the website plans to implement a competitive pricing structure in 2012 for listed service providers to receive business leads.


For some, LinkedIn is a form of social media that you joined (because it seemed like the thing to do), set up a profile but then let it fall to the wayside. Maybe you're not looking for a different job, never really learned how to utilize the site or didn't understand how you could benefit from it. But in actuality, it's a handy way to gain valuable connections, increase engagement and get your name out there, whether or not you're looking to change careers. Six local professionals share their advice below for ways to make the most of your LinkedIn account.
Show enthusiasm. It's important to present a professional image on LinkedIn for your network of business connections, but make sure that your personality and sense of human connection don't get lost in the process. Positive connections are sparked and fostered by the sincerity and enthusiasm that you demonstrate through your interactions. Don't just write that you're passionate about your job—show your passion by joining groups and engaging in thoughtful conversation that highlights your unique value. Whether you are connecting with industry leaders, searching for jobs or contributing to a discussion, make sure positivity and enthusiasm are the foundation of your actions!
In your LinkedIn profile summary section, include a line that explains why you're passionate about the work you do. Why do you wake up every day and put in the time? What problem(s) are you excited to solve? That kind of line is a great way to show your authenticity and draw people in as they read the profile.
Our policy is to send out LinkedIn requests as quickly as possible when we return to the office from any event or program. We've found that LinkedIn works best when you've had a quick face-to-face first. The closer that request is to the time you've met a new contact, the more likely they will be to recognize you and add you to their network. Nike's "just do it" applies perfectly to building your network.
Make use of your profile cover photo because it is prime real estate on your LinkedIn profile. When hiring, we always look at a LinkedIn profile, and no cover photo means no attention to detail or a lack of effort. Same goes with accepting a connection request. I look at their profile and decide whether I want to connect with them.
Your profile cover photo can and should help you sell yourself, a product or a service. Make sure you are in the photo and that your personality shows through.
List your expertise with legible text, graphics or bullets. Let people know what you do and how you can help them. Use social proof. If you have a photo with an influencer in your industry or if you are on a stage presenting or teaching others, use it as the background of your cover photo. Show validation. Include small icons or logos for awards or certifications you have earned.
Along with your profile picture, your personal headline is one of the most frequently viewed pieces of written content about you. Most people have their current job role listed in their headline, but you don't have to keep it that way. To stand out in your industry, use the 120 characters in your headline to tell how you guide clients and stakeholders and help solve business challenges. For instance, as a marketer, my headline reads, 'With a clear message and a plan, I help you find & retain the most desirable clients to grow your business. #ClarityWins.' The character limit forces you to be brief and to the point and also focus on how you best serve your company or your clients.
-Showcase your customers. Publishing content around your customers and clients is a great way to show what you can do and inspire new customers.
-Post more videos. We find that video outperforms photos on LinkedIn. We get more engagement and views per piece of content. Posting natively to the platform versus sharing outside videos seems to perform better for us overall.
-Publish original content (long form). If you can take the time to write long form content 1,000–2,000 words of original content about your space or experience it will set you apart from the competition. This will help you expand your brand to customers and clients who choose to read versus consume other forms of content.
-Reply to every comment. We take the time to leave thoughtful comments on other accounts including our account. Small accounts and large accounts can lead to business development or other opportunities by sharing expertise and thought leadership.
-Post audio content. Post media types for every potential customer. Some customers may only read, some may only watch video and some may only listen to audio. Have a presence where you can be potentially found.

<Copyright>
  See LICENSE for licensing information.

<Purpose>
  Provide a variety of classes that compare objects
  based on their format and determine if they match.
  These classes, or schemas, do not simply check the
  type of the objects being compared, but inspect
  additional aspects of the objects like names and
  the number of items included.
  For example:
  >>> good = {'first': 'Marty', 'last': 'McFly'}
  >>> bad = {'sdfsfd': 'Biff', 'last': 'Tannen'}
  >>> bad = {'sdfsfd': 'Biff', 'last': 'Tannen'}
  >>> schema = Object(first=AnyString(), last=AnyString())
  >>> schema.matches(good)
  True
  >>> schema.matches(bad)
  False
  In the process of determining if the two objects matched the template,
  securesystemslib.schema.Object() inspected the named keys of both dictionaries.
  In the case of the 'bad' dict, a 'first' dict key could not be found.
  As a result, 'bad' was flagged a mismatch.

  'schema.py' provides additional schemas for testing objects based on other
  criteria.  See 'securesystemslib.formats.py' and the rest of this module for extensive
  examples.  Anything related to the checking of TUF objects and their formats
  can be found in 'formats.py'.

Engaging the Financial and Auto Sectors
University of CaliforniaAgriculture and Natural Resources
UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) delivers the land-grant mission for UC and California by developing and promoting practical, science-based solutions for the state's food systems, water resources and natural ecosystems. UC ANR's statewide facilities — including nine Research and Extension Centers (RECs), the Elkus Ranch Environmental Education Center and an administrative building — made strides in sustainable practices in fiscal year 2020–21.
For example, Hansen REC (HAREC) gleaned 9,300 pounds of fruit from orchards typically used for agricultural literacy school field trips. With youth programs shut down due to COVID-19, HAREC partnered with Food Forward and Ventura Unified School District to redistribute fresh produce to students and families. West Side REC, on the other hand, leveraged COVID-19 site closures to redesign two buildings into laboratories with energy-efficient air systems, lighting, windows and insulation, demonstrating how older facility conversions can increase UC ANR's sustainability.
Read More about Sustainability at UC Agriculture and Natural Resources
RECs reduced carbon dioxide emissions from 1,766 to 1,596 metric tons from 2014 to 2019 and further cut emissions by 711 metric tons during pandemic-related closures in fiscal year 2020–21. UC ANR's water consumption remained stable in 2020–21 due to ongoing agricultural research. Additionally, it is often not feasible for UC ANR to use zero-emission vehicles or hybrid vehicles given the need for trucks and farm equipment, which are often unavailable in these models. When possible, UC ANR purchases or leases flex-fuel vehicles. UC ANR's LEED certified administrative building reduced electricity use by 22% and natural gas use by 50% from 2014 to 2019.
UC ANR Increases Climate Literacy and Civic Engagement in Local Communities
UC California Naturalist is a statewide program of UC Agriculture and Natural Resources that engages the public in the study and stewardship of California's unique ecology and natural communities.
In 2021, UC California Naturalist graduated its first cohort, totaling 180 trainees, from its recently developed UC Climate Stewards certification program. UC Climate Stewards seek to improve climate change literacy and cultivate communities' resilience to climate impacts.
Bar graph depicting emissions levels between 2016 and 2020, with projected goals through 2050, and split into two categories. Scopes 1+2 goal of 0 emissions by 2025. Scopes 1+2+3 goal of 0 emissions by 2050.
Over the past year, UC ANR was able to reduce its CO2 emissions from 1,596 to 1,334 metric tons. This reduction in emissions can be partly attributed to reduced use of office spaces and increased remote work. (At the time of data collection, campus greenhouse gas emissions were not yet third-party verified. Updates will be made, as needed, in future reports.)
ENERGY – RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY GENERATION
Bar graph depicting Renewable Electricity Generation levels from 2016 through 2020, split into two categories: Off-Campus utility programs and on-campus systems
Line graph depicting energy use intensity (EUI) between 2016 and 2020, split into two categories: EUI Target and EUI Actual. Beginning in 2018, EUI Actual dropped below the target goal.
UC ANR saw a decrease in its EUI in the calendar year 2020.
UC ANR currently has one LEED certified building at its headquarters in Davis.
1 Certified
Although it is often not feasible for UC ANR to purchase or lease electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles (given the need for pickup trucks that are not yet available in those models), when possible, UC ANR purchases or leases flex fuel vehicles, which use alternative fuel.
Over the past year, UC ANR's water consumption remained stable, with a slight reduction of 120,000 gallons. Water use did not change much from prior year because UC ANR sites still have similar irrigation requirements.

Tom Garra to succeed Rich as Canton fire chief
CantonRep.com staff report
Oct 30, 2015 at 12:48 PM Oct 30, 2015 at 12:50 PM
Battalion Chief Tom Garra will lead the department starting in January.
Battalion Chief Tom Garra will lead the fire department starting in January.
Civil Service Director Sam Sliman said Friday that Garra will succeed retiring fire Chief Stephen Rich, whose last day is expected to be in early January.
Garra, 57, started with the city's fire department in October 1991, after working in South Carolina with emergency medical services and serving three years in the Marine Corps.
He also is Hazmat team manager for Stark County and said Friday he's had a "fantastic career."
"I am really looking forward to the opportunity to serve the city of Canton and lead the fire department," he said.
Division Chief Akbar Bennett, who also took the fire chief's test, will remain the department's second in command.
The department also will be naming two new battalion chiefs, likely to be announced next week, Sliman said.

Holder, Sept. 6, 2013.
Download Nwozuzu v. Holder (2d Cir. 2013) The Second Circuit ruled that our client became an automatic American when his parents became U.S. citizens even though our client did not have a green card marking him a "permanent resident". The appeals court judges decided that Congress, when they wrote the 1993 law, only intended that kids must be living in the U.S. with citizen parents to get this benefit.
Download Qiu Yun Chen v. Holder, No. 12-2563, --F.3d-- (7th Cir. 2013) In this precedential decision, the Seventh Circuit reviewed a case involving a woman from Fujian Province who feared persecution on account of having two children in the U.S. in violation of China's family planning policy. The BIA upheld an Immigration Judge's decision to deny her application for relief, but the Seventh Circuit vacated this decision, finding that the BIA committed numerous errors, including disregarding material evidence.
Download Jian Le Lin v. U.S. Att'y Gen., 681 F.3d 1236 (11th Cir. 2012) In this precedential decision, the Eleventh Circuit held that the departure bar impermissibly undercuts an applicant's right to file a motion to reopen proceedings, and so remanded proceedings to the BIA for consideration of our client's motion to reopen proceedings for asylum.
Download In re L-A-Z- (BIA 2012) Although asylum applicants generally must file within one year of coming to the U.S., the BIA held that an applicant's pregnancy with her second child qualified as an exception to the one-year deadline, and so remanded proceedings to the immigration court to determine whether our client demonstrated eligibility for asylum based on a fear of persecution for violating China's one-child policy and having an unwanted IUD insertion.
Download Mei Fun Wong v. Holder, 633 F.3d 64 (2d Cir. 2011) In this precedential decision, the Second Circuit vacated the denial of asylum to a victim of a forcible IUD insertion.

An Immigration Judge denied the waiver, but on appeal, the BIA found that our client demonstrated genuine rehabilitation and was deserving of the waiver of inadmissibility.
Download Fei Mei Cheng v. Holder, 623 F.3d 175 (3d Cir. 2010) In this precedential decision, the Third Circuit found that the victim of a forcible IUD insertion demonstrated she was persecuted on account of her resistance to China's population control policy.
Download Mohamed Trawally v. Holder, 396 F. App'x 346 (9th Cir. 2010) The Ninth Circuit held that the BIA abused its discretion in denying a Sierra Leonean's request for humanitarian asylum relief.

Download In re W-W-H- (BIA 2009) The BIA vacated an Immigration Judge's adverse credibility finding, and remanded proceedings to determine whether our client was eligible for asylum based on his Falun Gong beliefs and practices.
Download In re C-D-M- (BIA 2009) The BIA held that our client, a Chinese national, suffered economic persecution based on his resistance to China's family planning policy and so was eligible for asylum relief. The Board found that the harms our client suffered, including property damage and theft, job termination, and degraded standard of living constituted severe economic disadvantage.
Download Jian Lian Guo v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 556 (3d Cir. 2004) In this precedential decision, our client sought reopening of her asylum case after she became pregnant with her second child, and feared persecution in China on account of its one-child policy. The BIA denied our client's motion to reopen, noting that she was found not credible by the IJ. The Third Circuit remanded the case, finding that the BIA erred in failing to explain how the adverse credibility finding bore any relation to our client's pregnancy and her current fear of persecution.
Download Tian-Yong Chen v. INS, 359 F.3d 121 (2d Cir. 2003) In this precedential decision, the Second Circuit found that the BIA and IJ overlooked significant evidence in assessing our client's case, and so remanded proceedings so that the IJ could reconsider our client's application for asylum based on her Christian beliefs and practices.
Download Hiu Lui Ng's Case: Hiu Lui Ng, a 34-year-old computer engineer, was swept into the immigration detention system in July 2007. His wife, Linn, a naturalized United States citizen who had petitioned for him to receive a green card, was left to care for their two American-born sons alone.
View Online Zhenxing Jiang Case: It was a case that galvanized protests in Chinese-American communities around the United States last year and drew international attention: the pregnant Chinese woman who miscarried twins soon after she was taken by federal immigration officers from Philadelphia to New York to be deported.
Download CHEN, Zuqiang case: An asylum applicant successfully reopened his asylum proceedings based on his involvement with the Zhong Gong movement. The applicant originally had submitted an asylum application based on violations of China's family planning policies, but was denied relief. However, he later became involved in the Zhong Gong movement which was banned in China. Based on these new circumstances, our firm filed a motion to reopen proceedings, which was granted by the BIA. The BIA found that Mr. Chen had successfully demonstrated prima facie eligibility for asylum relief, and so ordered a new hearing before the IJ.
Download FONG, Meiying case: The District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the habeas corpus petition of Ms. Fong, and ordered that she be returned to the U.S. A travel agency had initially filed an asylum application without Ms. Fong's knowledge, which eventually resulted in an order of removal of which she was unaware. Ms. Fong was arrested by the government while pursuing an adjustment of status application, and deported in less than 72 hours. The District Court found that (1) Ms. Fong was illegally removed; (2) the Court's order staying removal had been violated; and (3) Ms. Fong did not receive adequate notice of her removal proceedings, in violation of her due process rights. As a result, the District Court granted Ms. Fong's habeas petition and ordered her returned to the United States.
Download Nikprelevic case: A Yugoslavian national sought adjustment of status based on an approved relative petition. The INS denied Mr. Nikprelevic's adjustment application, and he sought review of that denial with the District Court of Connecticut. While the District Court declined to review the merits of Mr. Nikprelevic's adjustment application, it found that the INS failed in its duty to consider Mr. Nikprelevic's application since it gave no reason for terminating his application. Accordingly, the Court remanded the case so that a complete and documented adjudication of his adjustment application could be made.
Download TANG, Yong case: need to re-scan decision — some pages are upsidedown]: An activist with the pro-democracy movement in China sought review of the IJ and BIA's denial of his application for asylum. Mr. Tang suffered arrests, and a brutal beating as a result of his pro-democracy activities in China. However, the IJ and BIA found Mr. Chen incredible, and denied his asylum application. On appeal, the Third Circuit vacated the agency's decision, holding that the adverse credibility was based on impermissible speculation and overreaching assumptions. The Court deemed Mr. Chen credible, and remanded proceedings to the immigration court for consideration of Mr. Chen's asylum application.
Download WU, Bin case: Mr. Wu sought protection under the Convention Against Torture based on a fear that he would be arrested for espionage and tortured on account of his cooperation with the FBI against the Chinese Ministry of State Security, including providing the FBI with names of Chinese spies. Although the IJ denied relief, on appeal, the Board of Immigration Appeals found that Mr. Wu had met his burden of proving it was more likely than not that he would be tortured if returned to China and so granted his application for withholding of removal.
Download ZHANG, Qing case: Ms. Zhang successfully reopened her immigration proceedings based on a fear of persecution for violating China's family planning policy by being pregnant with a second, U.S.-born child. Ms. Zheng was initially denied asylum based on her activities with the pro-democracy movement in China. However, Ms. Zheng later gave birth to one child in the U.S., and after she became pregnant with her second child, she sought reopening based on her violation of China's one child policy. The BIA granted Ms. Zhang's motion, and ordered a new hearing before the IJ based on her new asylum request.
Download ZHANG, Hongbao Case: Zhang, Hongbao is the founder of the "Zhong Gong" spiritual and social movement in China which, prior to government supression, had more than 37 million registered members. Mr. Zhang had fled first to Thailand, and then to Guam, where he was detained by US immigration authorities. His clearly well-founded asylum case was denied by the immigration judge, who was unable to articulate a coherent view of the bogus documents sent by the Chinese government to the US State Department, containing numerous allegations of sexual misconduct and rape. The Board rejected these bogus documents and granted asylum. Mr. Cox also traveled to Guam as co-counsel, with California attorney Robert Shapiro, in a habeas action which resulted in Mr. Zhang's release from detention prior to the Board decision granting asylum.
Download LIN, Liyu Case: Mr. Lin sought asylum and withholding of deportation based on his prominent involvement with the pro-democracy movement in China. His activism included joining in a protest where the marchers attempted to occupy a government building. The Chinese government issued a subpoena to interrogate Mr. Lin, but he fled authorities. The IJ and BIA denied Mr. Lin's applications, reasoning that the Chinese government only wanted to enforce its laws against trespass in issuing the subpoena, and that Mr. Lin did not have a well-founded fear of persecution. The Third Circuit reversed the decision, finding that the BIA impermissibly speculated that the subpoena was issued for the purposes of trespass, particularly when nothing in the record supported the fact that the government was aware that Mr. Lin trespassed, and that the subpoena was issued just six days after the Tiananmen Square massacre. The Court found that Mr. Lin was eligible for both asylum and withholding of removal, and remanded the case for further proceedings.

Download Yassir Case: The Third Circuit rejected the government's argument that uncertainties about the identity of a Palenstinian justified indefinite detention. Salim Yassir fled a refugee camp in Libya and arrived in the US without documents aboard a freighter. Salim had no connection to any political groups whatsoever, and had left the Gaza strip with his family at the age of ten. ICE detained him for four years, and even attempted to dump him back on a freighter owned by the same shipping company in order to get rid of him. He was subjected to intensive FBI interviews countless times, sadistically treated by guards at the Elizabeth detention facility. The FBI reported no evidence of any nefarious ties, yet ICE refused to release him. He was finally released to Christ House in the Bronx on an ankle bracelet and is still subject to close supervision. Once when the ankle bracelet failed to register his location (Salim was in a subway), ten FBI agents were scrambled to locate him.
Download YU ZHOU Habeas Decision: Judge Kosik in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania ordered the release of YU ZHOU, who has a final order of removal, but who could not be deported, because his country of nationality, China, refused to accept him. The release was based on the Constitutional prohibition of indefinite detention (under the Zadvydas decision).
Download Seventh Circuit Victory: the 7th Circuit reversed the decision of the BIA in a case involving a Coptic Christian from Egypt. The BIA had found him credible, but denied for lack of documentary corroboration. The Court said that the State Department report corroborated the claim and that it could not be denied due to lack of translation of certain documents. Note: The REAL ID Act, not applicable to older cases like this one, will mandate a documentary corroboration requirement. I argued this case in Chicago last June.

Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in 1821 in Moscow, Russia and died in 1881 in St. Petersburg. He was a Russian novelist who was known for his work's dives into the darkest parts of human nature. He is best known for four novels, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed, and The Brothers Karamazov, and his novella, Notes from Underground. Each of these works builds on psychological theory and explores human nature. They are treated as "novels of ideas" because of their reliance on philosophy.

"How to Use Social Media to Help you Find a Missing Person" was written by Jerrie Dean in 2013 and is currently on sale at Amazon.
In the 21st Century we are no longer depending solely on the police to search for our loved ones, as we now have the internet and social media, but how can we get the social media to help? From the very first chapter you will receive instructions and explanations on what you should do when your loved one becomes a missing person, i.e., how to talk to the police, where to look for clues, how to get media attention to how to get social media to help you search and get the word out about your missing person, with a special section on runaways and children, and FAQs. This guide will help you avoid the confusion, answer your questions, and give you ideas you never thought off on what you need to do when your loved one is missing.
Jerrie Dean has a very full day, between researching and developing TV shows and running a news website on missing persons, called "Missing Persons of America". With 2,300 people a day reported missing, Jerrie is barely scratching the surface, but she doesn't mind, it is something she feels she was born to do.
Jerrie's advocacy for missing persons comes from the parental kidnapping of her twin brothers and sister before she was born.
"As I got older and looked back, it explained a lot about my parent's behavior," explained Jerrie. My mother watched me like a hawk and there was always a German Shepherd by my side when I went out to play. And it also explained after I grew up and my son was born, why I so diligent watched over him. I didn't even identify my actions as a result of what happened in my youth. Now I know it affected several generations of my family. My grandparents, my parents, and myself," said Jerrie.
Stories of missing people, especially missing children, occupied Jerrie's mind for weeks. When she heard someone was missing, she would research and gather as much information as she could. She knew more than most did about Missing Person (MP) cases, and she knew more about the emotions involved.
In 2009, Jerrie decided to take all her research knowledge and her personal experiences and start her own Missing Persons column at Examiner.com, after retiring from federal law enforcement.
"I loved what I was doing, but I wanted to do more. I wanted to personalize what I was sharing so I began a website called, Missing Persons of America," said Jerrie.
Jerrie knows that not all Missing Person cases are treated equally by the media. Sometimes it is impossible to get the word out and now that is no longer the case. All you have to do is contact Missing Persons of America and your story will be posted.
I am astounded each morning when I see how many people are reading Missing Persons of America," said Jerrie. "Because I get a lot of my information straight from the families, many of the media outlets pick up my stories. I have been contacted by several TV shows for more information about stories I have posted. This works out well for the families as it's even more people that can help look for their loved ones. Also, because people trust me, I receive tips and information about missing persons that news and police don't receive.
If you would like to know more about Missing Persons of America, stop by the Facebook page or contact Jerrie Dean at (619) 654-7427.


It truly is a winter wonderland here in Alaska more so than anywhere I have ever been.

Have you ever dreamed of finding the perfect dog book that had the best stories, pictures, and jokes hand-crafted by dog-obsessed people themselves?
Well, we've got the book for you.
YOU CAN GET YOUR PAWS ON IT HERE.
Dogs and Their People is a *New York Times Bestseller* written by crazy dog people for crazy dog people, celebrates the best kind couch-snuggling, belly-scratching, snout-kissing humans through gorgeous photos, jokes that hit home in the best way, and over 200 stories that will make you want to hug your dog (and maybe even snort-laugh and ugly-cry). All will remind you why dogs are the greatest creatures in the universe.
This NY Times Bestseller touches on everything from weddings to travel to romantic tales of modern (dog) ruv, all anchored in celebrating what it means to be a kooky and devoted dog lover.
Check out some of the actual pages from the book!
Read our announcement below from March 2016!
Almost a year ago, BarkPost had a crazy idea to publish a book.
10 months, a literary agent, a book deal with Putnam, and 220 amazing dog parents later, that dream is alive as our first pre-sale links are LIVE today!
Dogs And Their People is a hodgepodge of over 200 stories dealing in all things hilarious, heartwarming, harrowing, and hump-worthy. We asked artist Dave Coverly to illustrate custom doodles for the book that sprinkle the pages of hundreds of pup photos. The book is a compilation of personal anecdotes from around the globe and unique BarkPost content, touching on everything from weddings to travel, from butthead dogs who get away with the world to romantic tales of modern (dog) ruv, all anchored in celebrating what it means to be a kooky and devoted dog lover.
We are over the moon to be able to unveil our cover for Dogs And Their People – on bookshelves October 2016! Shout out to Emily Wang and her superstar, Chibi, for making the cover!
We reached out to our community and were blown away by the thousands of submissions from dog lovers around the world, all bonded by a simple fact: they love dogs to pieces.
And most importantly – we reveled in, were humbled by, and were overtaken with pride to be able to compile such a special collection of dog lovers' stories and photos.
Here's a sneak peek of how the book is slowly developing day by day. Each week we'll start revealing a page or story from the book as a special #DogsAndTheirPeople campaign, but below are a few mockups of the direction we are headed with the process.
Thank you SO much to all those who submitted a story to us! It was a wild ride to experience all the special moments that took place between you and your dog. Your insatiable love of dogs is the pulse that keeps BarkPost slobbering happily everyday.
