Good morning Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today on the topic of Union Reporting and Disclosure Requirements and, particularly, the utility of adding civil penalties to the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act ("LMRDA").
For the record, I am a Senior Legal Research Fellow in the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, an independent research and educational organization. I am also an Adjunct Professor of Law at George Mason University where I teach Criminal Procedure and an advanced seminar on White Collar and Corporate Crime. I am a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School and a former law clerk to Chief Judge Anderson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. For much of the past 15 years I have served as a prosecutor in the Department of Justice and elsewhere. During the two years immediately prior to joining The Heritage Foundation, I was in private practice representing criminal defendants.
Thus, as the Subcommittee will recognize, my perspective on the proposed legislation is different than that typically brought to the Subcommittee. I understand and appreciate the values of labor democracy and managerial transparency that animate the LMRDA. Certainly knowledge and information are among the most powerful tools in a democracy and union members are entitled to information about the activities of the organization to which they belong - just as the American public is entitled to information about Congress and shareholders are entitled to information about a corporation. But whether the particular substance and form of the reporting requirements of the LMRDA are good policy or not is a question I am, candidly, not qualified to answer.
The question I can answer, from the perspective of a former prosecutor and one who writes and teaches regularly on the criminal law, is the one that is the focus of today's hearing: Assuming that current LMRDA reporting and disclosure requirements are appropriate, what is the best means of enforcing those requirements and ensuring that labor unions and others obliged to report under the law comply with the law's requirements? That question is both normative and utilitarian - it asks both what is a just, or proper, method of enforcement for this type of law and also what method of enforcement will work most effectively. On both grounds the current structure of the LMRDA is wanting.
"Just Desert" and the Concept of Criminal Punishment
The LMRDA is unusual (and, perhaps, unique) in its enforcement structure - it authorizes the Secretary of Labor to seek civil injunctive relief or to refer matters for criminal prosecution (pursuant to section 209 of the Act, (29 U.S.C. § 439)) but it does not, presently, contain any provision authorizing the imposition of civil monetary damages (either in federal court or administratively) for violations of the Act.
With this structure, the LMRDA is different from virtually every other regulatory statute. Typically, regulatory statutes have a graduated enforcement scheme that provides for administrative enforcement by the regulatory agency, civil enforcement actions in federal district court, and, for the most egregious offenses, criminal prosecution. Thus, the Occupational Health and Safety Act provides for both civil and criminal penalties, as do all of the environmental statutes, the antitrust laws, and the other regulatory statutes that have become common in American governance. Indeed, though it is always difficult to prove a negative, in the time I have had to conduct research on the question I have found no other regulatory statute with criminal enforcement provisions that does not also contain civil enforcement penalty provisions. In other words, the LMRDA is exceedingly unusual - and frankly, one can offer no rational explanation for the structure.
As a matter of theory the current structure of the LMRDA is normatively objectionable. Put most succinctly, government properly imposes criminal liability only on those who commit acts of misconduct with bad intent, and not on those merely accused of negligence or mistake. This is the fundamental moral component of the criminal law - the "just deserts" aspect of punishment - and it is trivialized when the criminal law is used to address conduct that is not intentionally wrongful. The criminal law in a free society must be carefully crafted to target wrongful conduct, and not be used simply to ameliorate adverse consequences attributable to non-criminal conduct. The public interest is vindicated not based on successful prosecutions, but on successful administration of justice. Criminal sentencing should reflect society's collective judgment about the kind of conduct that warrants the most severe condemnation, seizure of property, and loss of liberty and life.
The LMRDA's criminalization of an essentially regulatory scheme is, in one sense, part of broad pattern diverging from this model of criminal sanctions. Increasingly, we are seeing across the spectrum of federal regulatory systems prosecutions for offenses that are better handled as civil matters. In modern America, as the regulatory state has grown, the number of such criminal offenses has grown apace. These types of criminal offenses are different from the classic frauds and personal wrongs that ought to be the focus criminal law. This new type of offense involves the criminalization of conduct that, in most instances, is not inherently wrongful in the same way that fraud and bribery are. The growth in this form of regulatory criminal offense is, as Professor John Coffee has said, the "technicalization" of crime.
Consider: In 1999, the ABA Task Force on the Federalization of Criminal Law noted that there were now more than 3,500 federal criminal offenses. Those offenses incorporate either directly or by reference prohibitions contained in more than 10,000 separate regulations. Remarkably, nobody knows the exact number either of criminal statutes or criminal regulations. They are so diverse and so widely scattered throughout the federal code that they are literally uncollectable. I am told that, when it was recently asked to undertake the project, the Congressional Research Service said that the task was virtually impossible. This, too, breeds disrespect for the law and disaffection from the judicial system: When those who make the laws cannot themselves identify all the laws they have made, it borders on the arbitrary and capricious to allow prosecutors to select from among those laws and to criminalize conduct that, in the eyes of others, might warrant only civil sanctions.
This trend is exacerbated in the context of the LMRDA. The failure to timely file a required disclosure report is precisely this sort of technicalized offense and is inappropriately treated as a crime. The reporting requirements of the LMRDA, while certainly of great significance and importance to union democracy and the efficacy of the Act, are not the sort of requirement for which criminal sanctions are typically thought necessary. With the exception of situations in which a union official, for example, willfully and deliberately violates his known legal duty to report society ought not impose criminal sanctions.
The current LMRDA criminal provisions are not, however, completely objectionable. In one important sense section 209(a) is consistent with the general principle of criminal law. It punishes only those who act willfully. And, as the Second Circuit construed the statute more than 25 years ago, in United States v. Ottley, 509 F.2d 456 (2d Cir. 1975), an act in violation of the statute is done willfully only if it is done with a wrongful purpose - that is, if the defendant knew what the law required and failed to comply with it or was willfully blind to its requirements.
It is useful to note, parenthetically, that as a practical matter this standard is difficult for a prosecutor to prove - and deliberately so. It reflects a judgment (in my view a correct one) that the criminal sanctions should be rarely imposed and only on those who deliberately and willfully refuse to conform their conduct to societal norms.
But this does not, of course, exhaust the scope of appropriate governmental sanctions. Social behavior in a free society is governed by governmental norms that broadly distinguish between two kinds of wrongful acts: Crimes, which typically require such elements as malicious intent and harm, and deal with offenses against the state rather than merely against an individual; and civil wrongs, which are torts against persons or property, or violations of regulatory requirements, which are more loosely defined, typically carry lesser penalties or no penalties, and are adjudicated under less-rigorous procedural rules.
In the absence of applicable civil penalties, the LMRDA's structure leaves the latter category of wrongful conduct unaddressed. Just as it is inappropriate to criminalize conduct for which there is no deliberate wrongful act, it is equally inappropriate for the civil law to ignore the wrongful act and the civil harm that flows from the act in those situations where the wrongful act is the product of mistake, accident, neglect of a legal duty or otherwise non?willful conduct. Imagine a world in which there were only criminal law and no tort system to redress civil wrong. Surely we would not think that structure well designed - yet that is precisely how the LMRDA works.
Therefore, as a matter of just deserts the current structure of the LMRDA is simply flawed. It is necessary to recapture the balance between criminal and civil law by providing an alternate civil sanction in those situations where enforcement is necessary but criminal prosecution is simply inappropriate.
Effective Deterrence
Now, I turn to the second aspect of the inquiry in today's hearing -- the question of effectiveness. As Horace Mann said, "The object of punishment is the prevention of evil." We might tolerate an oddly structured enforcement system, however philosophically objectionable, if it were effective. But it seems evident that the present enforcement regime is not as effective as it ought to be.
In report year 2000, the most recent year for which data are available at the Department of Labor, over 34% of required reports were either late or not filed at all. Preliminary figures for 2001 are even worse: According to the Department of Labor it appears that as many as 60% of the filings are delinquent. That's simply an unacceptable record of non-compliance.
Imagine if 34% of all corporations failed to file their SEC disclosure forms timely (or at all). Or if 34% of production plants in America didn't file their pollution monitoring reports. In those contexts that rate of non-compliance would be a scandal. The only explanation for this rate of non-compliance that one can posit is that the absence of a sure and certain enforcement regime causes a failure in deterrence and thus a lack of incentive to comply.
This is not pure supposition - the limited data available support the conclusion. Because of their draconian nature, the criminal sanctions of the Act are rarely utilized. As the GAO reported in 2000, Department of Justice officials are (appropriately) reluctant to prosecute cases criminally where reporting violations are the only basis for the case. An electronic database search reveals approximately 50 cases in the last 43 years prosecuted under section 209 of the Act. And of these, the vast majority of the reported cases were prosecutions for knowing false statements on required forms - that is deliberate willful lies. Typically these frauds were in service a larger criminal enterprise - they were, for example, used for the purpose of concealing some other substantive crime (e.g. embezzlement of union funds).
Indeed, my research disclosed only one case - United States v. Spignola, 464 F.2d 909 (7th Cir. 1972) - involving a pure willful "failure to file" case, without any indicia of personal benefit to the union official or union who failed to file the requisite forms. And that case resulted in a reversal of the conviction.
Plainly this search may understate the instances of criminal enforcement of the Act under section 209 - not all criminal cases brought are reported in the electronic databases. But I think it is fair to say that the criminal enforcement authority of section 209 is rarely used. And this is understandable - the criminal sanction is the societal blunderbuss reflecting, as I've already noted, a high degree of moral opprobrium. Criminal penalties are not appropriate in most failure to file cases and the Departments of Labor and Justice are rightly hesitant to seek criminal penalties for such conduct.
But in the absence of alternative civil sanctions, as the GAO noted, when criminal penalties are not appropriate the Secretary is reduced to hoping for the voluntary compliance of unions with their LMRDA reporting obligations. There is no middle ground sanction to be applied between the blunderbuss of criminal law and the paring knife of voluntary compliance. In effect, the substantial and serious penalties attending criminal sanctions make them effectively unusable for the run-of-the-mill case where a reporting requirement is not met.
And thus, with no fear of the blunderbuss that is never used and no other incentive for voluntary compliance, individuals have no reason to act vigorously to ensure compliance with the LMRDA. The civil sanctions proposed in H.R. 4054 are tools, appropriate to the enforcement task and commensurate with the scope of the regulatory injuries they seek to address.
H.R. 4054 and H.R. 4055
Finally, let me turn to the text of the two bills before you. In general they are salutary efforts to remedy the flaws in the current enforcement structure of the LMRDA. By giving the Secretary of Labor civil authority to secure monetary penalties from delinquent or deficient unions the legislation will give the Secretary an important, indeed, essential tool for achieving compliance with the reporting requirements of the Act.
With respect to H.R. 4054, it is highly likely that the imposition of civil penalties will have a deterrent effect of precisely the sort that is necessary. The structure for the administrative penalties chosen is both moderate and measured. The bill requires the Secretary to takes into account the nature of the violations involved; the revenues of the violator; and the violator's prior enforcement history. Thus, it focuses accurately on questions of the magnitude of the harm and recidivism that are commonly understood as the appropriate metrics for calibrating punishment.
If I could offer one suggestion concerning this bill it would it would be to explicitly incorporate a graduated civil sanction based upon the intentional nature or scienter of the conduct in question - accidental violations or those arising through neglect ought to result in fines less severe that those arising from gross negligence or deliberate but non-willful conduct. Perhaps that is what the bill intends to capture by specifying that the Secretary take account of the "nature of the violations involved" but greater clarity on the issue would be welcome.
With respect to H.R. 4055, this bill too appears to be well structured. My principal observation is that the bill sets the standard for the initiation of a civil action too high and will therefore result in fewer civil actions than appropriate. The "probable cause" standard is a common one in the criminal law - it is the standard police must meet before they may invade a home with a search warrant and it is the standard a prosecutor must meet before asking a grand jury to return a criminal indictment. Both of these are highly intrusive, dislocating acts - much more intrusive than the mere act of filing a civil suit. It would, in my view, be unwise to cabin the Secretary's discretion to bring a civil suit to only those instances where the probability of a violation of law is as great as that a crime has been committed. Like any other civil litigant, the Secretary should be obliged to have a good faith basis for the allegations of the Department's lawsuit, but I see no ground for imposing a higher burden of justification on the Secretary before the government may sue.
Mr. Chairman, thank you for the opportunity to testify before the Subcommittee. I look forward to answering any questions you might have.

Hundreds Escape in Taliban-Led Afghan Jailbreak
Nearly 500 prisoners have escaped from a jail in southern Afghanistan through a tunnel dug by Taliban insurgents, government officials revealed on Monday.
The governor of southern Kandahar province told Reuters that 488 prisoners were able to escape through the tunnel, which led to a nearby house. Many Taliban commanders are feared to be among the escapees. Afghan President Hamid Karzai's spokesman said the incident was a serious blow to the government as it prepares to take control of security operations from foreign forces. "This is a blow, it is something that should not have happened. We are looking into finding out … what exactly happened and what is being done to compensate for the disaster that happened in the prison," Karzai spokesman Waheed Omer said.
The Taliban has confirmed that they were responsible for the massive jailbreak, saying in a statement that the actual escape was completed in four-and-a-half hours. The insurgents said the jailbreak began late in the night. The jailbreak comes as foreign forces prepare to gradually cede to local police and military control of security operations in several areas starting this summer.

The story of my life
(for the past few days/weeks/months, anyway. Buckle up, kiddies, it's gonna be a long one!)
"So," he asks, "if you were creating a reality show starring any celebrity, who would you pick?"
"Brad and Angelina," I say. "Or ... wait. Actually, Jennifer Aniston. A dating show starring Jennifer Aniston! Can you imagine?"
"I'd pick Michael Jackson," he says.
"Ooh, yeah," I say. "Good call. He's a freak."
"What?" he says. "He's the king of pop!"
"He IS the king of pop," I acknowledge. "But he also calls his kid Blanket."
"True," he concedes.
I'm on a phone interview with an entertainment website. In 16 hours, I will quit my job.
* * *
Four months (almost) earlier
I'm at work, and an email pops in. There will be a meeting at 10 a.m., it says. I look at the clock. It's 10 a.m. We all get up and walk to the conference room, whispering and shooting looks at each other.
Our owners are in the room. They cut right to the chase: They're moving our office to Charlotte in July. Some people will be asked to go, some people won't, some people will be asked to live in other cities so our resources will be better spread across the country. All costs, including a moving bonus, will be paid by the company. No one is surprised, necessarily, but at the same time, everyone is shocked.
I'm the only person who asks a question. "When do we have to decide?"
The answer: end of April.
* * *
I visit Charlotte at the end of March. One of my college roommates lives there, along with two other friends from college, plus a whole bunch of coworkers who moved there the year before. It's lovely and fun and it makes me feel ... nothing. Nothing great, nothing terrible. I feel like if I moved there, I would be fine. The only problem is, I don't know if fine is enough.
Two weeks later, I go to New York. It makes me feel a lot of things: stressed, excited, motivated, overwhelmed.
I don't know what to do.
* * *
I'm having a hard time breathing. I walk around like normal, I talk like normal, I act like normal, but all the time, I feel like there's a rubber band wrapped tight around my lungs. When I go home at night, it gets worse, because then I HAVE to think about things. I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing with the time that's not locked in stone: Should I should be cleaning out my closet, looking for a new job, finding a place to live, calling the movers ...? I don't know, and it's paralyzing.
One night, I stay late at work because I'm not ready to go home yet. I'm listening to my iTunes, and different lyrics keep jumping out at me:
"Are these times contagious? I've never been this bored before ... is this the prize I waited for?"
"And if I die before I learn to speak, can money pay for all the days I lived awake but half asleep?"
I start reading my blog, going back a month at a time. I don't know why. Maybe I was subconsciously looking for a clue, maybe I was just trying to kill some time. But as I read, a definite theme emerges (aside from, you know, the fact that I get pulled over a lot and stalk innocent bystanders):
From this one: "I kind of feel like I'm waiting for ... something. I don't want to be one of those people who always talks about doing things and never does them. So I guess in 2008, I want to be more of a doer. More proactive instead of reactive. Blah blah blah."
And this one: "I thought, well, why don't we all live like that? Why don't we all just go for it more often? And I think it's because you have to be incredibly brave. You have to put yourself out there, you have to take risks, you have to be the one taking accountability for your own happiness, and it's scary. If you're told your time is limited, well, then you have nothing else to lose. But otherwise, you can tell yourself you have forever. Or at least 30 more years. Or 20. Or 10."
A few days later, I write this post.
* * *
Making the decision a little bit (or a lot) more difficult is that everyone's jobs are going to change, but we're not being told HOW they'll change until after we commit (because, they say, they need to know what staff they're going to have before they make those decisions). I am adamant that if I am going to move for ANY job--whether it's my current job or a new job--it needs to be a better situation for me. Am I going to get to do more, am I going to be able to grow, so on and so forth.
My current job includes writing and editing. I can do both, and I like to do both. I'm told, though, that the way things are being restructured won't allow much room for someone to do both--it's pretty much one or the other. Writing is more in line with what I want to do long-term, and (after a very good pep talk or 10 from my Semmy) I call our CEO to tell him so. He says he had no idea I felt that way, he's so glad--make that thrilled--to hear it, and we'll work out the details the next time he is in town or I am in Charlotte.
I feel like it's the best of both worlds--I stay with my job, I get some flexibility and I get to do something a little bit different, something that is a natural next step in my career. I sign the paper.
* * *
I trade emails with the CEO a few times, but we can't lock down a date for me to go to Charlotte. In the meantime, another guy is hired by the owner and CEO to oversee our particular area of the company. (My new boss. N.B.) I send N.B. an email filling him in on what I do and include some links to stories I've written. A week or so later, N.B. starts calling people to tell them what their jobs will be. He sends me an email: "I'll call you tomorrow." Tomorrow comes and goes. Another email: "Let me know how late I can call tonight." No call. Another email: "Sorry, ran out of time ... I'll call tomorrow." No call. Five more days pass, and I start to wonder if maybe they're changing their minds on what they want to do with me. Finally, he calls.
It's a long, sometimes tense, conversation. N.B. says my job will be senior editor, based in Charlotte. It's completely different from what I had talked about with the CEO. I ask why it changed. He says because he doesn't have anyone else to fill that role, and I'm versatile. I tell him I understand, but I need to look at what is best for me and for my career. He says, career? How old are you? He says he doesn't know very many people my age who care about their careers. I ask him if that means I should just call him back in 10 years. He says, well, no, but his point is that there is plenty of time for me to do what I want, and basically, I can take one for the team for a while.
I tell him I have to think about it. He's surprised to hear that. It's a great job, he says. I agree that it's a great job for someone, but maybe not me.
It's four weeks before the move. I go home and I cry.
* * *
I start having panic attacks. One night, I literally cannot breathe for four hours. I leave the house because I feel claustrophobic, and I still can't breathe. I drive to the grocery store and sit in the parking lot, and I can't stop crying long enough to get out of the car.
* * *
N.B. comes to town to meet with everyone individually. Before my meeting, I go into our local bigwig's office, shut the door and ask if I can still get severance if I decide not to go. He's very surprised, but says probably. I tell him I will let him know after my meeting.
My meeting lasts twice as long as it's scheduled to. Some of it's good, some of it's not so good, some of it's somewhere in between. I start to realize that it's less about the specifics of the job and more about how I feel ... and something about it doesn't feel right. I feel like going would be the easy thing to do, but that it also might be taking a detour I'm not sure I want to take. All of those things I talk about, those big idealistic things? I want to BE those things, not just talk about being those things. And if there's any time in my life I'm going to take a risk, any time in my life I'm going to take a chance, it's now.
* * *
Friday morning, I walk into local bigwig's office and tell him I've decided not to go. We talk for a few minutes, and then I walk out. My friend is standing there, wide-eyed. I pull him into the hallway.
"You really did it?" he asks.
"I really did it." I pause. "Oh, my gosh, I really did it."
"How do you feel?"
"I don't know," I say. "I think I'm in shock. I don't do things like this. It's the kind of thing that's good in theory, or for other people to do, or ..."
And then I take a big gulp of air, look right into his eyes and start to cry.
My last day is July 6, and then I will write and look for a job I'll love. It's the scariest-as-shit decision I've ever made, the hardest decision I've ever made, but also the first decision I've ever made that has been completely for myself.
So ... here we go.

A fiery tractor-trailer crash is slowing traffic along Interstate 35W in South Fort Worth Tuesday morning.
According to MedStar Ambulance, the truck collided with another vehicle and caught fire just before 6 a.m. near Altamesa.
MedStar said everyone escaped the crash with only minor injuries.
The truck is on the shoulder, so onlooker traffic is passing slowly on the highway.
Officals have not said when the shoulder will reopen to traffic.

THE trial of serial killer Steven Grieveson continues today after he admitted to sexually abusing and killing Simon Martin.
Grieveson yesterday confessed to killing the first of his four victims in a derelict house 23 years ago, but denied murder.
He has already been convicted of murdering three teenagers during a four-month killing spree between 1993 and 1994.
The 42-year-old is on trial at Newcastle Crown Court accused of the murder of Simon in 1990.
Grieveson denies the charge, but he admitted in interviews with detectives last year that he is responsible for the 14-year-old's death.
He claims all four deaths at his hands happened by accident when he was threatening his victims not to reveal his sexuality.
Grieveson has also confessed to carrying out sex attacks on five more teenage boys in the early 1990s.
The killer was convicted of the murders of David Hanson, 15, David Grieff, 15, and Thomas Kelly, 18, after a trial by a jury at Leeds Crown court in 1996.
Prosecutor William Lowe told the court yesterday: "At the trial in Leeds in February 1996, the defendant gave evidence before the jury and denied any involvement in the deaths.
"He lied to that jury, as he now accepts.
"He accepts he killed not only those three victims but also Simon Ian Martin.
"He maintained to the police that all three deaths were accidental.
"We say he murdered not only those three but also Simon Martin.
"The crown's case is that he engaged in homosexual activity with each of his victims.
"He says what he was doing when he killed them was threatening his victims to prevent others learning of his sexuality and that each death happened by accident."
Grieveson told police that after performing a sex act with Simon, he killed him on a mattress in a room at Gillside House in Roker.
The killer said during his confession last year: "After it was finished, I got scared and I started shouting at him not to tell anyone.
"I just flipped, I flipped, just flipped for a minute, I did, then I started strangling him. I don't know. I didn't let go.
"The next thing he was on the bed, and I got scared, and I think there was a rock or something, and I smashed his head in.
"He was saying he would not tell, but for some reason I did not believe him."
Grieveson had kept quiet when questioned by investigators in the past.
But during his confession last year, he said: "I needed to tell the police. It was haunting me for 20 years.
"I have self-harmed because of it.
"It drove me crazy, and I needed to give the family peace of mind and peace of mind for myself as well.
"I can't move forward unless this has been said."
Grieveson, formerly of Roker Avenue in Sunderland, had burnt the bodies of his three teenage victims in a bid to cover his tracks during the murder spree between November 1993 and February 1994.
He had strangled them using ligatures.
It was on November 26, 1993, that Thomas Kelly's body was found burning in an allotment shed behind Monkwearmouth Hospital.
On February 8, 1994, David Hanson's charred remains were found in a derelict house in Roker.
And on February 25, 1994, David Grieff's body was found in an allotment shed at the rear of Monkwearmouth Hospital.
Grieveson denies murdering Simon on the basis of diminished responsibility, a plea which the prosecution rejects.
Mr Lowe added: "The prosecution case is that Steven Grieveson has the ability to choose whether to let Simon Martin go or to kill him.
"He chose to kill him. He is guilty of murder."
Simon, who lived in Sunderland with his parents Robert and Jean, was last seen alive on May 18, 1990, when he went to play out with friends at 5pm.
Mr Lowe said: "He never came home."
Simon was reported missing that night and his body was found by two children playing in the disused house a week later.
He had died as a result of brain injury, with compression of the neck being a contributing factor.
•The trial continues.

Erectile Dysfunction Issues are No Match When You Buy Levitra
Considered by many as the worst male sexual condition, if you buy Levitra, erectile dysfunction (ED) doesn't longer pose much of an issue. This is because if you buy Levitra, you are basically getting the best of the best ED treatment remedy currently available. In fact, in terms of efficacy rating, Levitra beats its competition, hands down, on most occasion that are as a result of different research and scientific agencies conducting research on the best ED treatment. Those who buy Levitra are actually better assured that they will be able to treat their erectile issues. The better efficacy rating placed by researchers, study, and survey groups on Levitra simply verifies the fact on why you should buy Levitra as your main ED treatment.
Those who buy Levitra are mostly aware that Levitra is better than others in terms of effectiveness. However, this is not exactly what makes Levitra the best. You are encouraged to buy Levitra as this erectile dysfunction treatment remedy made by Bayer is the overall best in different categories. Most men who buy Levitra are only aware that Levitra is the most effective ED treatment. What they are not aware of though is that when they buy Levitra, they are also buying the fastest-acting ED treatment drug there is. With other ED remedies, at least an hour is needed before the treatment effect takes place. As for Levitra, however, if you buy Levitra, it will only take you twenty minutes or less to already feel erectile response.
When it comes to treating erectile dysfunction or male impotence, nothing really beats using Levitra as this drug is, after all, overall best when it comes to ED treatment drugs. Although Levitra did not pioneer the discovery of PDE5 inhibitor, the revolutionary method of treating erectile dysfunction, it is however the drug that has perfected the treatment possibility of the drug. Possessing already both efficacy and fast-acting, Levitra seems like a tough act to beat. However, as means of further dominance and why you should want to buy Levitra next time instead of others, the drug is also the safest with the least amount of reported side effects.
There is really no denying on why Levitra is the best and why a lot of men these days prefer to buy Levitra over anything else. If you suffer from erectile dysfunction or have recently developed it, if you buy Levitra, your penile impairment would not really pose much of an issue.
Normally, the men who prefer to buy Levitra are those that have experimented on using different PDE5 inhibitor brands that are competing against each other in the ED market. Through their own self-comparison terms of the effect of the drug on them, they naturally choose PDE5 inhibitor Levitra and consequently buy Levitra exclusively from then on because the drug has all the important categories filled. While the effect time of Levitra may not be as long as that of Cialis, still, the weight of the categories dominated by Levitra will make you want to buy Levitra exclusively over others.

The Tshwane metro has called for residents to be patient while it finds solutions to the refuse collection crisis.
The collection of refuse in Mabopane, Soshanguve and Ga-Rankuwa has stalled since 3 May, leading residents' complains about uncollected garbage piling up in the streets.
ALSO READ: UPDATE: Metro contractors to deal with waste removal
Tshwane metro member of the mayoral committee (MMC) for environmental management, councillor Michael Mkhari said a group calling itself Business Forum had disrupted service demanding its members get the contracts to remove and dispose of waste in those townships.
"The forum has waged in unacceptable, uncalled-for and frustrating conduct that is not in keeping with the values that seek to ensure that the residents and business community benefit from services rendered by the municipality," said Mkhari.
Rekord was this week inundated with calls from residents of the three townships saying waste had not been collected this week.
One resident said dogs were scavenging from the uncollected bins lining the streets, felling them and scattering waste everywhere.
Mkhari said the metro was trying to find solutions.
"From time to time the affiliates of the forum disrupt the waste management service," he said.
He said the members of the forum caused the disturbance under the pretext that the metro had not offered the waste removal contract to them.
"To ensure transparency, the current administration has aligned itself with the open tendering system," said Mkhari.
"This simply means that a service provider gets awarded a contract through a fair bidding competition.
"In this case the city granted contracts to qualifying service providers whereas the forum wants its members to receive contracts without following due process.
"No forum or company will be awarded a contract outside the city's normal tendering process as that will be tantamount to favouritism, maladministration and corruption – gone are those days.
In addition, our metro is morally and legally bound to ascertain the provision of clean surroundings and households that are free from waste materials.
The public has to know that the deviant actions by the forum members stand on the way of the service delivery intended for them which is the reason the environment is so contaminated."
ALSO READ: Rubbish collection disruption north and south
On Thursday, forum members prevented access to all landfill sites in Pretoria.
Mkhari said they had informed him in a meeting recently they intended to render waste management in the city dysfunctional he said however, the metro had not been aware that meant they would stop garbage trucks, take the keys from and threaten the drivers' lives with death.
"The city has been left with no option but to obtain a court interdict to stop the members of the forum intimidating waste management workers, vandalising garbage trucks and trespassing on municipal property [landfills].
"The deliberate destruction of the city's property will not be allowed.
The law-enforcement services have been activated to escort waste trucks to ensure the continuation of collection and disposal of waste.
We remain committed to providing all communities with better service while we are dealing with all these challenges."

5 Lessons Learned: Settlements
How to Go about Selling Structured Settlements
A structured settlement is an insurance arrangement where a personal injury claimant agrees to receive some part of the payment on an agreed schedule. Although these payments provide a comforting and predictable source of income, sometimes, they may be too small to continue meeting their needs. There has been a rising number of people selling all or just part of their structured settlements to get a certain amount of cash they need. Before making this huge step, it's important to understand the right steps to follow when selling structured settlements.
Determine if selling your structured settlements is the most suitable option for you or your family. At this point, you will have to ask yourself a number of key questions. Do you really need the cash now? Do you have valid reasons for selling? Some valid reasons include paying for education, buying a home, paying off credit card debt and starting a business. Is selling your settlement the best way you can raise cash? Is this decision going to impact you financially? Answering these questions will help you make an informed decision.
Find out the real value of your structured settlements. Take some time looking for the most experienced companies buying structured settlements in the market. It's advisable to get at least three quotes for comparison from different companies and select one that offers you the most competitive and reasonable offer. Ensure that the quote comes with written details like home many months of your settlement rights you plan to sell and how much you will be paid. By working with an industry leader, you are assured of a smooth process and getting your money as soon as possible.
Have all your documents ready, especially those needed to verify the structured settlement payments. The documents should include the settlement agreement signed by both you and the insurance making the payments. Depending on your state, the regulations related to this process may vary. In most cases, you will need to have a local lawyer to guide you before signing any agreements or consult a qualified professional specializing in structured settlements. If you accept the cash offer, documents will be forwarded for to sign, after which you return them, opening up the way for the legal process.
Once all documents are signed, your lawyer files them in a court of law. A hearing is then scheduled, meaning that you will have to wait. While you wait for approval by the judge, you can request to have settlement cash advance. During the court hearings, you will stand before the judge to explain why you need cash and also prove that your decision will not cause financial problems to your family. Once the court has accepted the transfer, the annuity buyer will receive a transfer order for acknowledgment, after which you are paid the money. By following these steps, you will have a better understanding of selling structured settlements.

Living the dream in a world of adventure
On a 2,000km campervan journey up Queensland, Alan Shortt and his family encountered crocs, nestled in a rainforest and dived the Great Barrier Reef
Sharks, stingrays, crocodiles, humpback whales, Barramundi, red emperors, shovelnose rays, sea turtles, kangaroos, wallabies, dingoes, wombats, koalas, alligators, pelicans, lizards and Nemo are just some of the natives we met along the way on our campervan adventure in Queensland, Australia.
It all began last March when I was sitting at home with my family, listening to the rain lashing against our windows, when Rory, my youngest, pointed at the TV and asked where's Home and Away? "Australia," I replied. His eyes lit up and he asked: "Can we go there, daddy?" That was the moment we decided to swap the great big recession for the Great Barrier Reef! The Shortt family were heading Down Under, myself, Colette, Sam, 8, and Rory, 5.
Our journey from Ireland to Queensland Australia began with coffee in Cork, a burger in Britain, a swim in Singapore, and breakfast in Brisbane! We had concerns about flying such a long distance with young children, but the flight was only the beginning of our adventure, because the level of service and in-flight entertainment knows no bounds when you fly with Qantas. Even our four-hour stopover in Singapore was an adventure. The country's Changi airport prides itself in being the best airport in the world with its gymnasiums, spas, cactus, orchid and butterfly gardens, cinemas, Singapore's tallest slide, 250 tax-free shops and a roof-top swimming pool.
It had always been a dream of mine to drive a campervan up the coast of Australia, and as I stood beside my five-berth Platinum Lake Maui campervan, I said: "Wow! She's big!" Technically it's a two-bedroom apartment on wheels, it was going to be our home for the next three weeks, and we had to drive it!
The great news was that they drive on the lefthand side of the road in Australia. Our route began in Brisbane, and 2,000km later we were due to finish in Cairns. Our first stop up the Bruce highway was the Australia Zoo, a legacy to the late Steve Irwin, who spent his life up close and personal with wild animals, and that's exactly what you get to do in the Australia Zoo.
We fed kangaroos, hugged koalas, petted wombats, hand-fed elephants, held alligators and lizards, nearly got knocked over by low-flying parrots and witnessed the power of the jaws of a huge crocodile.
After a quick lunch in our campervan, four tired, cranky heads headed for Noosa Heads. Our first night in the campervan was very exciting, the kids sat back and watched TV while the parents worked out how to fill the campervan with water, turn on the gas, make the beds, and my job... empty the toilet! I wish we had had more time in the laid-back, trendy surf hang-out that is Noosa, but we had to make our way to Fraser Island.
If it's eco-tourism you're after, then the Kingfisher Bay Resort on the world's largest sand island is the place for you. Nestled into rainforest, our balcony overlooked a swamp that came alive at night with a cacophony of frogs talking... ribbiting frog talk.
We went on an amazing four-wheel-drive tour of the island, swimming in the crystal-blue waters of Lake McKenzie and Eli Creek. We drove up along a 120km beach to the rotting hulk of the Maheno, a former passenger liner blown ashore by a cyclone in 1935, and went for a leisurely walk in the rain- forest where if you get thirsty, all you have to do is lean your head back and open your mouth and drink the rain water dropping from the giant rainforest canopy above. Watch out for the bloodsucking leeches.
The next morning we went on an adventure of a lifetime: whale-watching aboard Quick Cat 2. They guarantee whale sightings on every trip, and right on cue, out of the turquoise waters of the South Pacific jumped a large humpback whale. Sam nicknamed her Scratchy because of all the scrapes and scars on her snout. Scratchy performed tail slaps, fin waves, full breaches and, the most amazing of all, a side-roll right beside the boat allowing us gaze deeply into her huge, black, glassy eye. Then she dived and we headed back to dry land and our campervan.
Our next stop was a family caving adventure in Capricorn Caves near Rockhampton. We put on our overalls, helmets and torches and headed down into the darkness of the underworld. We squeezed and crawled through crevasses that were only fit for five-year-olds, not parents. After squeezing my body through a cavern called the Whale's Belly I felt like a new-born baby being pushed through his mother's pelvis!
We left the spiders, bats and the darkness of the caves for the sun-drenched skies of Daydream Island Resort and Spa in the tropical Whitsunday Islands. An idyllic paradise island in the Great Barrier Reef region, with palm-fringed beaches, coral gardens and turquoise waters. Daydream Island is also home to the world's largest man-made coral reef lagoon, where the boys fed stingrays and lemon sharks and huge barramundi, which, instead of biting their food, suck in two litres of water in one second! I thought the bait, Rory's hand and Rory's body was going to be sucked into the barramundi. They are also very good fish to eat.
After two days of relaxing on the beach, the spa, the catamaran, the pool, and eight mojitos, we headed to Cairns for the highlight of our trip, the Great Barrier Reef. We took a big-cat tour to Green Island on the reef. The whole family witnessed one of the great wonders of the world from the safety of a semi-submersible boat, the fish life, the coral, the sea turtles. The beauty of the reef is incredible. I got to live out one of my greatest ambitions and dive on the Great Barrier Reef and witnessed sights I had only seen on TV underwater documentaries.
So for a family adventure of a lifetime, forget Florida, start planning now and head Down Under to Queensland, because their winter is a fantastic summer. The Shortt family say: "Thank you Captain Cook for discovering Queensland!"

I've gotten lucky lately and it has inspired me. I've had a lot of work sent my way in addition to an interview for a job position that went well.
More work means more money and as long as I can continue down this road, it will be good.
I had a sudden lapse today, however. While I won't go into details, I was reminded at the end of the day that nothing has been confirmed. So with that said, let the inspiration continue!


text:
Earlier this evening I saw Bill Viola's "Hatsu-Yume (First Dream)" in an intimate screening. The artist was present, along with faculty members and an audience of thirty to forty people. We sat in a small auditorium in a small, excellent liberal arts school.
"Hatsu-Yume (First Dream)" is about eighty-five minutes long. On the surface, it scanned like Chris Marker's film, Sans Soleil. I say 'on the surface' because it was just a moment that inspired that connection – the moment 'pachinko' is on screen, and then, later, a man lighting a cigarette, one of the only completed human gestures in the piece. If Sans Soleil had been made on video and without the narrative, then they could be twins. Instead they are distant relatives, only connected by the fact that the audience is considering moving images that, scene by scene, unfold like a photo-roman . . . if each of the photos is a technically-perfect, gorgeous long moving-image shot. Oh, and both works were shot in Japan – Viola's in its entirety, while Marker's Sans Soleil was mostly filmed there.
What's the distinction between video and film? As Christopher Zimmerman put it in the liner notes for the evening's get together, ""Where film is a succession of individual still images … video consists of constantly vibrating signals." That's key. In each work's case, the maker's use of the form is perfectly mirrored in the expression of content presented by that form. Marker's film is a series of shots, of images expanded. Marker uses mostly jump cuts as he provides a long sequence of images which become narrative, when paired with the voiceover.
Video, particularly analog video on tape, is about signal. Talking about his work this evening Viola repeatedly referred to signal. The technical metaphors for him, of signal being a way of accessing an inner world or imagined world, of signal's liquidity, its nature as carrier of light ~ that's the core of the medium for Bill Viola. The series of scenes transitioned by fade-to-black are usually slow-mo. Visual information shifts in a series of liminal perceptual spaces; the viewer can lose themselves in sensory input or decide to recognize the information displayed on the screen.
During Q&A I admitted to the artist that I was so tired I was closing my eyes in the middle of the opus. Viola interrupted me to reply, "That's OK, I slept through parts myself." About two-thirds of the way through the film there are shots of dying squid, on a Japanese fishing boat. They're beautiful. Captured in the highest fidelity Sony cameras available at the time, glossy, a particular coral peach, they are just dying. We watched them die, in slow motion.
Squid death was discussed by the academics with some horror. Kira Perov, Viola's creative partner, spoke to the difficulty she had when they were originally shooting the work on the fishing boat. She struggled with the question of putting the equipment down to rescue the animals. It horrified her to watch them die.
Today, I took a long trip to a small town in Wisconsin to meet the artist, to see the work. Bill Viola's work has sustained me for a long time. I am a multiple near death experience survivor; Viola's own NDE experience deeply informs his work. His work is oxygen for me.
On a Greyhound bus I split my time between Twitter and Facebook attempting to find out if my Boston friends were OK. What in Gods name happened there. I somehow kept my stomach firmly in my belly, not becoming nauseous even though the fragments of information did not piece together. Made me disoriented. The speed of (dis)information, insistant squabbles about authenticity, tweets that stated "quit just retweeting things". The utter lack of clarity as major news outlets chose the wrong information to publish to those who still use TV, and then retracted, then asserted something else.
The long slow shots of dying squid made sense. Watching the beautiful, projected analog video – no, I couldn't look away. It was slow. In its slowness my mind and heart were allowed to come into a shared rhythm of comprehension that respected my whole being. Horrifying, yes, but in a comprehensible way, an acceptable way.
Now I pick out the shrapnel from the fragmented "communication" about the bombings at the Boston Marathon out of me. I have a bit of skill witnessing difficulty like this, I've practiced with the 'poetics of annihilation' attention/artwork over the years. Yes, I say, once again, media's doing it wrong. I think we already know that.

I am very fond of game and unpretentious but "WOW" types of places. [Ref Chez Fernand in Villefort. ] A good cheese course is very much sought too. I would really appreciate any suggestions as I have 7 days of lunches & dinners to account for in Dec.

This summer, the Chotrim went through an interesting process together. They were able to learn and grow together through different peulot (experiential group activities).
We started off by talking about the idea and importance of kvutza (age group within which the individuals grow and learn together, and support each other) and connected that to the idea of safe space and respect. The Chotrim were able to take ownership of their kvutza, as they deliberated and decided together how to spend their collective kupa money. They chose to go to Big Bear and eat pizza and ice cream before seeing the new movie Ant Man. It was a day of fun and kvutza bonding.
Chotrim were also able to become a stronger kvutsa on tiyul (hike), where they had to work hard and support each other in order to finish. We hiked to Castle Rock and spent time climbing the rocks and then hiked down to Boulder Cay where they got to relax and swim before hiking back up to camp.
Overall, it was an amazing session and the Chotrim were able to learn to overcome their differences to become a strong kvutza.

By VWdriver on
Vehicle1999 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg 4dr Sedan
ReviewAfter reading reviews of this model and trim level, I was a little wary about purchasing this vehicle. But all of my worries have been disproven, as this car is awesome. The only problems I have had were from the buyer passing on due maintenance, and otherwise I LOVE this car. It is fast, fun, the stick shift's smooth, the interior is fantastic, I love the sporty boxed-out styling, the sunroof and remote locks work flawlessly, and the trunk is cavernous, bigger than my old 96 accord's. 95,000 miles and still going like a tank, no problems with the drivetrain. This car is great because of the extra touches: the dialed in steering, the wolfsburg leather accents, everyhthing. This car is great!!
Best FeaturesThe leather steering wheel, sporty taillights and spoiler, and manual tranny.
Worst FeaturesSometimes key takes some jiggling to get it to move in ignition, no problem with starter, just key insert thing. plus low end torque is a little low, but gas mileage is fantastic.

The campaign of Congressman Morgan Griffith was endorsed today by the National Rifle Association, who gave Congressman Griffith an A+ rating for his commitment to defending the rights of gun owners across Southwest Virginia.
"I am proud to receive this endorsement, and proud to stand up for the rights of gun owners all across Southwest Virginia," said Congressman Griffith. "I have always been committed to the Second Amendment, an individual's right to bear arms and Virginia's rich hunting heritage."
Griffith is running for re-election to Congress in Virginia's 9th District, which stretches from the Alleghany Highlands to Martinsville down to Lee County, Virginia.
"Our region has always believed in traditional values and had a strong gun heritage," said Congressman Griffith. "I will continue to protect these values as a member of Congress."
Griffith has an opponent in this year's election, Democrat Anthony Flaccavento. The National Rifle Association says that Mr. Flaccavento's failure to answer their federal questionnaire should be seen as "a sign of indifference our outright hostility to the rights of gun owners and sportsmen."

The Greater Chain of Being Hamlet Greek Mythology Natural Order of the Universe Christianity Shakespeare heavily borrows from Greek
mythology : Refer Great Chain of Being Feudal system of government
rankings and hierarchies
societal classes
religious classes
natural distinctions/ nature
eg. lion = king of the beasts, or an eagle soars over other birds Divine Right of Kings Monarch is NOT subject to earthly authorities.
Only God can judge an unjust king:
to depose a king would be considered a sacrilegious act
concept was held until 1688/1689
Romans 13:1-7
1 Peter 2:13-17
Matthew 22:20-21
The pope would technically be higher than the king because the king is subject to divine law, and the pope is the earthly highest form of divine law When the natural order of the universe is violated, everyone will know. How did the natural world reflect this violation?
Literary term for this: PATHETIC FALLACY "MAKE THY TWO EYES, LIKE STARS, START FROM THEIR SPHERES" (1.v.17)
Why, in the context of the entire scene, is it appropriate for the Ghost to make such a reference?
What other allusions are made in this scene to an unnatural order of things? Hamlet's Plan Hamlet makes his peers swear their allegiance to him in order to gain vengeance for his father's murder. He reveals a plan to them:
lines 166-182
What is he going to do?! An Antic Disposition Until recent history, people who were considered mad - or insane - held a special place in society. They were thought to be "children of God" or to have been "divinely touched".
... you may have heard someone refer to another person as being "touched", as they point to their head and roll their eyes?
As such a special person, they were not shunned. They became the responsibility of the entire community; it was strictly forbidden to hurt such "special" persons.
What does this have to do with anything in the play?? Hyperion - the sun-god in Greek mythology
Hercules - hero in Greek mythology; renowned
for his strength
Lethe - the river of forgetfulness
Niobe - turned into stone by Zeus
satyr - part man, part goat in Greek mythology

Melody of Noise Trailer (2016)
The film accompanies musicians who have devoted themselves to new, uncharted sounds with a great deal of passion. They build new instruments and work with quotidian noises. In the process, the ostensible noise often becomes sound. An adventurous journey of discovery into the realm of noises and sounds, rhythms and stillness. Together with people who listen closely and without reservation. A film that aims to engage viewers to listen with their eyes and see with their ears. Astonishingly sublime.
