[JURIST] The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey [official website] filed suit in a New Jersey Superior Court Friday to try to block Dubai Ports World [corporate website], a company from the United Arab Emirates [government website], from taking control of several United States ports. Citing security concerns, the Port Authority claimed that DP World violated its lease by not getting consent for its pending acquisition of Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. (P&O) [corporate website], a London based company. The lawsuit asks the court to halt DP World's acquisition of P&O, and the court set a hearing date for March 3. Similarly, the state of New Jersey filed a federal lawsuit [JURIST report] Thursday against the Bush administration, claiming that the administration's approval of DP World's acquisition encroaches on the sovereignty of the states in violation of the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution. The governors of New York and Maryland have also threatened similar court actions [JURIST report] against the takeover.In addition, Miami-based Eller & Co. asked [AP report] London's High Court Friday to block DP World from taking over P&O by withholding court approval of the $6.8 billion takeover. DP World has volunteered to postpone its takeover while the Bush administration tries to convince lawmakers to support DP World's acquisition. Several senators have threatened to introduce legislation to block the deal and Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) has said that administration's approval of the ports takeover was illegal [JURIST report]. Meanwhile, Dubai Ports World hired a team of lawyers to try to save the deal, including former US Sen. Bob Dole [official profile]. AP has more.
[JURIST] Defense contractor Mitchell Wade pleaded guilty [agreement, PDF] in US District Court in Washington, DC on Friday to conspiring to funnel more than $1 million in bribes [criminal information; PDF] to former US Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham [Wikipedia backgrounder]. Wade, the former president of MZM Inc, a Washington firm that does classified intelligence work for the military, admitted that he intended to win federal contracts for his firm. Wade has since severed ties with MZM. In particular, Wade's purchase of Cunningham's Del Mar, California home for $1.67 million and subsequent sale of the property at a $700,000 loss sparked the interests [San Diego Union-Tribune report] of government officials. In addition, a $140,000 42-foot yacht served as a bribe that helped MZM receive an offer of $16 million in federal contracts. Assistant US Attorney Howard R. Sklamberg disclosed that Wade made about $80,000 in illegal campaign contributions [San Diego Union-Tribune report] to two members of Congress because of their potential to help award federal contracts to MZM.Cunningham pleaded guilty [JURIST report] in November to charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion and promptly resigned from office. He admitted to taking $2.4 million in bribes in a case that stemmed from an investigation into Wade's purchase of Cunningham's home and became a wide-ranging probe uncovering payments in cash, yacht-club fees and antiques. The San Diego Union-Tribune has more. Read the US Attorney's press release.
[JURIST] AP is reporting that the South Dakota House of Representatives has given final approval to a bill [text] that would ban nearly all abortions in the state. The state Senate approved the abortion ban [JURIST report] earlier this week. Under the bill, doctors who perform abortions would face up to five years in jail, except when necessary to save a woman's life. The bill now goes to Governor Mike Rounds [official website] for signature. AP has more.
[JURIST] Philippines President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo [official website] declared a national emergency in a taped television address [recorded audio] Friday after uncovering a plot to oust her from office. The state of national emergency declaration [full text of Proclamation 1017] issued under Article 2, Section 4 [text] of the Philippines Constitution keeps the judicial system intact and allows Arroyo to use the military to quash uprisings. Arroyo, who took office in January 2001 after a military revolt against former president Joseph Estrada [Wikipedia profile], ordered the arrest of three officers from elite military units and confirmed plans to arrest at least eight more officers in connection with the alleged plot forged by right-wing and communist groups. Arroyo also suspended protests and intimated that the government may seek to investigate civilian suspects as well.The proclamation follows Arroyo's announcement [press release] on Thursday that she intends to serve the entire six-year term to which she was elected in May 2004. The early part of Arroyo's term has been marred by allegations of election fraud of which she was cleared [JURIST report] in November. AFP has more. The Manila Times has local coverage from the Philippines.9:05 PM ET - The Integrated Bar of the Philippines [profession website] said late Friday that it would challenge Arroyos declaration of a state of emergency before the Philippines Supreme Court. The United States, meanwhile, has called on Arroyo to respect the rule of law, uphold civil rights and reject violence [US Embassy Manila statement]. Manila TV station INQ7 has more in its running log of the latest developments in the governmental crisis.
[JURIST] The United Nations [official website] Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counterterrorism Martin Scheinin sharply criticized Turkey's anti-terrorism laws [JURIST news archive] Thursday, claiming Turkey's definition of terrorism is too broad and vague with respect to local terrorist groups. In particular, Scheinin stated that the 2001 law [text] "defines terrorism based on its purpose or aims rather than referring to specific criminal acts" and expressed concern [press release] that people may be convicted of terrorist crimes without a sufficient connection to a terrorist act. Scheinin's comments come at the heels of a one-week fact-finding mission. Conversely, Turkish security forces complain that the anti-terror laws and the penal code restrict their efforts against crime and terrorism.Turkey [JURIST news archive] has amended its laws several times to increase its likelihood of eventually joining the European Union [EU Turkey accession materials]. In an effort to conform to EU standards, Turkey has eased punishments for the press and introduced compensation for Kurdish villages who suffered losses in army operations. Scheinin offered to help Turkey reform its anti-terror legislation to raise the laws up to international norms, while urging the Turkish government to sign several multilateral accords guaranteeing civic and political rights. Scheinin particularly criticized a 1991 act aimed at calming a Kurdish rebellion in the southeast and suggested that the laws should ensure that Kurds can freely use their language and have access to education through their own language. AFP has more. The UN News Centre has additional coverage.
[JURIST] Indian officials have arrested [BBC report] Alok Tomar, editor of the obscure Indian magazine Senior India, for publishing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad. Officials charged Tomar with hurting religious sentiments in India, although it is unknown whether the cartoon published by Tomar resembled the Muhammad caricatures [JURIST news archive] first published in a Danish newspaper that have ignited protest and violence across the Muslim world.Meanwhile in Malaysia, the well-known New Straits Times apologized [text] publicly on Friday for publishing a comic strip that Muslim leaders say mocked Islam despite not depicting the Prophet Muhammad. After the paper published the strip on Monday, the government demanded reasons why the newspaper should not be punished, which the government accepted in a private meeting on Thursday. The government of Muslim-majority Malaysia earlier banned [JURIST report] the original caricatures of Muhammad and indefinitely suspended the licenses of two newspapers [Berama report] that had run the cartoons that originally appeared in a Danish newspaper in September. AP has more.
[JURIST] The International Committee of the Red Cross [website] Friday called on individuals and groups in Iraq to comply with international humanitarian law [press release] while officials imposed daytime curfews in several Iraqi cities in an attempt to subdue a wave of violence resulting from Wednesday's bombing of the Askariya shrine [Telegraph report], one of Shiite Islam's holiest sites. The measures have thusfar helped to curb local violence, but violence continues in areas where the curfews were not imposed. The measure was aimed at preventing people from attending important Friday payers, which officials feared would be a target for further attacks. Late Friday local time the Iraqi government extended the curfew in Baghdad and three neighboring provinces through Saturday. Some observers say the drastic curfew reflects the government's fear of an impending Sunni-Shiite civil war. The largest Sunni Arab bloc in the Iraq Parliament [JURIST news archive] announced Thursday it was pulling out of negotiations towards establishing a new government until the Shiite-dominated national leaders apologize for widespread retaliatory damage to Sunni mosques. The US backed Shiite and Sunni leaders who appealed for calm Thursday, and many US officials said they believe mainstream politicians understood the danger and would try to prevent a civil war. AP has more.
[JURIST] Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr. [official website] has launched a probe into the state's indigent defense system in response to funding and availability problems for public defenders, especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive], which has sharply decreased the number of traffic fines from which the program primarily derives its funding. Foti issued subpoenas on 20 subjects regarding the indigent defense program, but both the Louisiana Public Defenders Association and the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers questioned whether Foti has the power to modify the system. The state may be forced to release up to 4,000 defendants [JURIST report] who have awaited representation in prison for over six months.Earlier this month, Judges Arthur Hunter and Calvin Johnson of the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court [official website] suspended all publicly-defended prosecutions [AP report] in their courtrooms, citing the dearth of public defenders since the indigent defense program downsized from 42 lawyers to six. On Thursday, Judge Hunter called for state legislators to appear in his courtroom in March to discuss the scarcity of funding for the program. Henry Weinstein of the Los Angeles Times has more.
[JURIST] A series of internal Canadian government memos newly declassified under the Canadian Access to Information Act [text] has increased speculation that the US Central Intelligence Agency [JURIST news archive] has flown terror suspects through Canada as part of an extraordinary rendition [JURIST news archive] program transferring them to foreign prisons. One note stamped "secret" says that over 70 flights allegedly tied to the CIA have landed at Canadian airfields in Newfoundland, Ontario, Quebec and the northern territory of Nunavut since September 11, 2001, a significantly higher number than previously believed. In January, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada [official website] said that flights thought to be connected with the CIA exhibited no evidence of "illegal activities", and the Canadian Border Services Agency [official website] and Nav Canada [official website], Canada's air traffic control authority, have claimed that all proper procedures were followed in connection with the flights.Human rights group Amnesty International [advocacy website] nonetheless says that it fears the flights "involved the transfer of prisoners to countries where they may be tortured" and has been pressing the Canadian government on the renditions issue. In Europe, the European Parliament and the Council of Europe have already begun hearings on the alleged renditions [JURIST report], and the British government Thursday came under new pressure from MPs [JURIST news archive] to investigate claims of rendition flights through the UK. Canadian Press has more.
[JURIST] A US federal judge has refused to grant an immediate injunction against Research in Motion [corporate website], which would have shut down the company's BlackBerry [product website] wireless service in the United States. In 2003, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ruled [PDF text] that RIM violated a patent held by NTP, Inc. and NTP had asked the judge to issue an injunction shutting down BlackBerry service. That decision was upheld [PDF opinion; JURIST report] on appeal and the US Supreme Court said last month that it would not consider the case [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.Also Friday, the US Patent and Trademark Office [official website] issued a second final rejection of one of the NTP patents at the heart of the dispute. Earlier this week, the USPTO definitively found another of the patents to be invalid [JURIST report]. CNET News has more.2:07 PM ET - Although US District Judge James Spencer declined to order an immediate injunction against RIM, he was skeptical of RIM's argument that shutting down BlackBerry service would cripple public services and infrastructure. Earlier this week, Spencer had denied a DOJ request for extra hearings [JURIST report] and the DOJ has asked the judge to exempt government workers [JURIST report] from any shutdown of the wireless email network. Spencer noted that "the reality of the jury verdict" that RIM infringed on NTP patents has not changed and said that he would make his ruling "as soon as reasonably possible." Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid al-Hussein, Jordan's UN ambassador and advisor to the secretary-general on the sexual exploitation and abuse in United Nations peacekeeping operations, has told the UN Security Council [press release] that it could be three or four more years before the "unacceptably high" number of sexual abuse charges against UN peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo [JURIST news archive] can be adequately addressed through UN reforms [JURIST news archive]. Reports of abuse by members of UN peacekeeping forces first surfaced in 2004 and following initial allegations of broad abuses, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked Prince Zeid [UN press release] to provide a "comprehensive strategy to eliminate future sexual exploitation and abuse in UN peacekeeping operations."According to Prince Zeid, the mechanisms designed to facilitate complaints have been improved and a strategy is in place, though accusations remain high and may occasionally spike in the future. UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Marie Guehenno [official profile] stated that a ban on prostitution would likely be a positive step in reducing abuses. Meanwhile legal experts have been analyzing issues surrounding UN staff diplomatic immunity and conflicts of laws among the UN, countries where abuse occurs, and the governments supplying troops to those locations. An independent review report [PDF text; JURIST report], released last October, concluded that the UN is not taking proper measures to end sexual abuse during peacekeeping missions. Reuters has more. The UN News Centre has additional coverage.
[JURIST] FBI memos [documents log] released [press release] Thursday by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act action [ACLU materials] suggest that senior US military officials, up to and including former Undersecretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, were aware of and endorsed the use of harsh interrogation techniques against Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainees, including putting hoods on prisoners, threatening them with violence, and humiliation. FBI agents assigned to temporary duty at the prison warned that these techniques were of questionable legality, but were ignored. The documents also indicate that FBI agents in Iraq were aware of detainee abuses at the US-run Abu Ghraib prison [JURIST news archive] before those become publicly known, but chose not to press military officials on the subject because it was outside their jurisdiction and they needed to sustain a good working relationship with the military. The documents released Thursday first came to light [JURIST report] in more limited form in January 2005, prompting a military investigation [JURIST report] which recommended a reprimand for Guantanamo commander Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller [Wikipedia profile], later rejected by a senior officer [JURIST report]. A military spokesman Thursday downplayed the latest release of the documents, saying that they were "secondhand allegations made by people not directly involved" and that many of the allegations, including those involving the Undersecretary of Defense, had proven to be unsubstantiated. AP has more.
[JURIST] The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website] on Friday rejected a request by former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] for provisional release [JURIST report] so that he might receive medical treatment in Russia. In the decision [text], the ICTY said they did not feel comfortable temporarily releasing Milosevic because they were not satisfied that he would return to face the remainder of his trial. Milosevic argued that it is necessary for him to return to Russia to receive medical treatment for a serious heart condition, but prosecutors said that once in Russia, Milosevic may claim that he is too ill to return for trial.The court agreed that doctors could provide care for Milosevic in the Netherlands where he is currently on trial on 66 counts [ICTY case backgrounder] of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes stemming from conflicts in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo in the 1990s. The trial has lasted for four years, and is expected to end this year [JURIST report]. If convicted, Milosevic faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The United States and British governments knew about illegal kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq over four years ago, an Australian judicial inquiry [JURIST report] into the UN oil-for-food program [JURIST news archive] was told Friday. During Friday's hearing [PDF transcript], a statement from Michael Wallbanks, manager of the Dubai branch of shipping group P&O Nedlloyd Ltd. [corporate website], was read. According to Wallbanks, the company gave information to the US and Britain about a 10 percent demand in kickbacks by the Iraqi government. Wallbanks also said that anyone involved in shipping goods to Iraq from August or September 2001 would be aware of the kickbacks.The Cole Commission was appointed in November to investigate whether Australian companies allegedly involved in the oil-for-food scandal broke any laws. The inquiry has so far focused on the Australian Wheat Board (AWB) [corporate website], which allegedly paid $222 million in kickbacks to Iraq. AWB was the largest exporter in the oil-for-food program, and officials have adamantly denied any knowledge of the kickbacks which were disguised as transport fees. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Defense lawyers for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby [defense profile], former chief of staff for Vice President Cheney, have asked a federal judge to dismiss the case against him, arguing that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald [official website] was improperly appointed to head the investigation in the CIA leak case [JURIST news archive]. In the motion to dismiss [PDF text] the indictment [PDF text], Libby's lawyers argue:
Under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution, no person may assume the power of a principal officer of the United States unless he or she has been appointed to that office by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. U.S. Const. art. II, §2. Further, 28 U.S.C. §§516 and 519 provide that no federal officer may represent the United States in litigation without the Attorney General's direction and supervision unless the Congress has expressly authorized it. Those constitutional and statutory provisions have been violated in this case.
[JURIST] Leading Friday's international brief, South Korea has announced plans to create a national database containing the genetic profiles of individuals convicted of criminal sexual offenses and a national registry accessible by the public that would list names and addresses of convicted sex offenders. The plan would also limit the ability of convicted sex offenders to work in certain jobs, like teaching and businesses with high levels of contact with minors. Choi Jae-cheon, a legislator from the ruling Uri political party, told reporters that the planned legislation would be carefully scrutinized to ensure that the public's civil rights were not violated and that the use of the database and registry would be permissible under the South Korean Constitution [PDF text]. The plan will also allow child witnesses in court cases to have their own legal representation as well as change criminal justice laws to permit children to testify via closed-circuit television, instead of having to appear in court before the accused.

[JURIST] US Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) [official website] said Thursday that the Bush administration is ignoring federal law by refusing to extend its investigation into the takeover of operations of six US ports by Dubai Ports World [corporate website], a state-owned business in the Untied Arab Emirates. The Senate Armed Services Committee [official website] heard testimony from several Treasury Department, Homeland Security and other administration officials, and Levin argued that the administration was ignoring provisions in the law establishing the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS) [Treasury Dept. backgrounder]. A 1992 amendment to the statute governing CFIUS calls for a mandatory investigation [50 U.S.C. App. 2170 text]:
in any instance in which an entity controlled by or acting on behalf of a foreign government seeks to engage in any merger, acquisition, or takeover which could result in control of a person engaged in interstate commerce in the United States that could affect the national security of the United States.
[JURIST] US District Judge Jed S. Rakoff [official profile] of the Southern District of New York on Thursday ordered the Defense Department to release uncensored transcripts, including detainee names, of 317 Combatant Status Review Tribunal [DOD materials] hearings held at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. In January, Rakoff ordered the Pentagon to reveal the detainees' names [JURIST report], rejecting the Defense Department's argument that releasing the names would violate the prisoners' privacy. Documents previously released have had prisoner identities and other details blacked out. The Pentagon has decided not to appeal the ruling, and Rakoff said Thursday that they must reveal the names by March 3. The Associated Press [media website] filed a lawsuit [AP report] last April under the Freedom of Information Act [text] seeking the release of uncensored information about Guantanomo detainees. The Defense Department has said that it would comply with the order. AP has more.Previously on JURIST's Paper Chase...
[JURIST] As questioning of potential jurors winds down, defense lawyers for al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui [JURIST news archive] have expressed concern about the possibility of a jury stacked with individuals connected to Sept. 11 victims. Moussaoui pleaded guilty [JURIST report] last year to conspiracy charges [indictment] in connection with the September 11 attacks, and a jury will now decide whether he should receive the death penalty. After six days of questioning, 83 potential jurors have qualified for the final jury pool. US District Judge Leonie Brinkema [official profile] will question the remaining 10 jurors Friday afternoon. During jury selection [JURIST report], Moussaoui's defense lawyers have frequently objected to potential jurors, saying they knew Sept. 11 victims, but the prosecution has countered that the sheer number of individuals connected to Sept. 11 makes it impossible to find someone who has not been affected. Though Moussaoui has admitted to al Qaeda involvement, he has said that he was not involved with planning or executing the Sept. 11 attacks [JURIST news archive]. Opening arguments in the sentencing trial [case docket] are scheduled to begin March 6. AP has more.
[JURIST] A military jury acquitted US Army Sgt. Alan J. Driver Thursday on charges of prisoner abuse [JURIST report] at Bagram Control Point [Global Security backgrounder, JURIST news archive] in Afghanistan [JURIST news archive]. Driver was the last of 11 soldiers from 377 Military Police Company [backgrounder] to be charged in connection with allegations of prisoner abuse at the Afghan facility. The jury deliberated for only fifteen minutes to consider evidence presented during the one day trial, including a receipt showing that one of the prisoners in question had been released before an alleged incident occurred. Witness testimony was also considered weak as one witness testified that he never saw Driver mistreat anyone.The charges stem from a US Army investigation [press release] initiated after the deaths of two prisoners within days of one another in December 2002. Though the cases have been ruled homicides, no one has been charged with the deaths. Of the 11 soldiers charged, two pleaded guilty [JURIST report] and served short sentences before being dishonorably discharged, one was convicted [JURIST report] but spared a prison sentence, four were acquitted [JURIST report], and three - including an officer, Capt. Christopher M. Beiring - had the charges against them ultimately dropped [JURIST report]. AP has more.

It was hot, hot, hot today here in beautiful Central PA! Saturday wasn't too bad and we were able to enjoy an outdoor concert to see one of my newest favorite bands: the City Harmonic. We only stayed to see them, even though there were many other bands there. Somehow it isn't the same when you're towing a 3 year old and a 10 month old. My youth group days are long gone, let me tell ya!!
According to the weather reports, Saturday was the last "comfortable" day for quite a while. You know what that means? Break out the good ol' crock pot! Takes much less energy to run and it doesn't cause our window unit air conditioner to have a heart attack! Here's the plan:

The Senator's Wife
320 pages; Knopf It's not that Sue Miller's The Senator's Wife (Knopf) is a cliff-hanger—though you sense right away there is a dangerous cliff somewhere. Meri—young, recently married, and desperate for something, though she doesn't yet know what—moves next door to Delia, the beguiling, aging wife of a legendary politician and philanderer. How these women circle each other, how Meri's need intersects with Delia's weary, necessary restraint, edges toward a crisis that seems, in retrospect, inevitable. A perfectly paced story of real-life marriage and its costs.

Tips to Avoid Trouble During Mardi Gras
Posted on by Townsend MyersIt's Mardi Gras season in New Orleans, and that means a whole lot of fun for most people, but trouble for some people. As a criminal defense attorney for 20 years, I've certainly helped hundreds of people get themselves out of trouble during Mardi Gras, but I've also learned an number of ways to try to help people stay out of trouble in the first place during this time of year, and I wanted to offer a few tips about that.
Tip No. 1: Drink Responsibly
The first tip would be to try to drink responsibly. Inevitably, Mardi Gras leads to people drinking less responsibly than they otherwise would, but in my experience 90% of problems that arise during this time of year arise because people have had too much to drink. So to the extent that you can manage your drinking, I think you can avoid a lot of the other problems that I'm about to discuss.
Tip No. 2: Avoid Rowdy and Obnoxious Behavior
The second general tip is to avoid are rowdy and obnoxious confrontations with other individuals. Whether they are verbal or escalate to physical confrontations, aggressive or obnoxious behavior toward other people is generally going to result in some kind of involvement from law enforcement, and potential criminal problems for you.
Tip No. 3: Don't Argue with Police Officers
The above is especially true with respect to confrontations with police officers. There are a lot of police officers on the street during Mardi Gras. They are going to be asking you to move. They are going to be asking you to stop doing certain things. You may feel that you have a right to be where you are, or to be doing the thing that you are doing, but you are not going to win that argument with a police officer. So just listen kindly, and move on. (more…)
Tips for Filing Expungements in New Orleans Area Criminal Courts
Posted on by Townsend MyersHaving spent a majority of my life as a criminal defense attorney, one of the questions I get asked frequently is how to get a criminal charge removed from your record. The process – known as an expungement - in Louisiana criminal courts is both simple and complex: simple, in that it doesn't require and vast legal knowledge to complete the required paperwork; but complex, in that the procedures for preparing, filing and processing the paperwork can be overwhelming if you don't know what you are doing.
Because it can be so confusing for someone to navigate the expungement process, I recommend hiring a lawyer to help. But, the law allows individuals to prepare and file expungements on their own – without a lawyer. So, if you are so bold as to wade into this on your own, here are a few tips to help you:
1. Know where you need to file before you start.
You expungement needs to be filed with the Clerk of Court in the courthouse where your conviction was entered. In the New Orleans area (including the suburban jurisdictions) there are at least 10 different possibilities of where this is.

Posted on by Townsend MyersI have been a criminal defense attorney for over 20 years, and have spent almost all of that time in New Orleans. Over the course of my career, I have handled hundreds of cases arising out of arrests during New Year's Eve and the Sugar Bowl.
New Orleans is a popular destination around the holidays, and this time of year I get a lot of phone calls and emails looking for advice about how to handle what for many is an inevitable brush with the law. In that spirit, I have compiled a list of my top 5 things everyone should know about a New Year's Eve or Sugar Bowl arrest.
1. The worst is probably behind you. If you are reading this post from the comfort of your home or hotel room, it is extremely likely that the worst part of this experience is already over. For most kinds of cases that stem from "party-related" arrests, the time you just spent in jail after your arrest is almost certainly going to be the only time you spend behind bars. Obviously, the more serious the charges the more likely you might be looking at jail time, but in the vast majority of cases I handle around the holidays, the odds of serving any amount of jail time are pretty small.
2. You will have to go to court. Despite what the officer who arrested you told you, there is no way to call the court and pay a fine on your case – you will receive a date to appear in court, and you need to be there. If you fail to appear on your appointed court date, a warrant will be issued for your arrest, (more…)
Lawyer in New Orleans Municipal Court
Posted on by Townsend MyersNew Orleans Municipal Court is where people charged with minor misdemeanor offenses in New Orleans will have their cases heard. Your case will be allotted to Municipal Court either because you have been arrested for a municipal or state misdemeanor charge, or because you have been cited for such a charge and received a summons to appear in court.
In either case you will have a date set for a first appearance in municipal court, generally anywhere from three days to two weeks from the date of your arrest or citation. This is for your arraignment – a date to plead "guilty" or "not guilty" to the charges. Either you or an attorney on your behalf will need to appear in court at your arraignment to enter a plea. You cannot do this by telephone, mail or online.
My advice to anyone charged with a crime in Municipal Court is to plead "not guilty" on the arraignment date. Your case will then be set for trial. On the trial date, you or your attorney can attempt to negotiate either a reduction or a dismissal of the charges. If you are comfortable appearing and representing yourself, you may generally be allowed to do that in Municipal Court. There are some cases where the judge may require you to hire a lawyer to represent you however. (more…)

Singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson will be featured on the Lifetime TV series ;Celebrity Bucket List this Saturday, March 8th at 8:30am ET/PT (check local listings for additional times across the U.S.). In this episode—taped in his hometown of San Francisco—Nathanson fulfills one of his lifelong dreams, meeting iconic singer Chris Isaak.
We love Matt Nathanson's latest offering Last of the Great Pretenders for a number of reasons. Solid songwriting, good lyrics, and of course, the many references to San Francisco. Acoustic Nation editor Laura B Whitmore had the opportunity to sit down with Nathanson and chat about how the record was made, as well as his influences, favorite gear, loves, hates and much more. Turns out, not only is Matt Nathanson a gifted songwriter, he's also hilarious!
One of the great parts about touring is meeting other artists and forging new relationships that might not otherwise come to pass. I met Isaac Johnson briefly when we shared the bill at a show in Hollywood. We kept in touch and quickly got the feeling that we might like to write together. That lead to a collaboration with a very satisfying result.
I love guitars. I look at them online like most people look at porn. Over the years, I've built up a nice little collection. Acoustics from the '30s. Electrics from the 50s. When I'm on tour, I make a point of finding rad guitar shops (thank you, Gbase), guitar factories to tour (thank you, Collings!!) or museums with exhibits that have anything remotely guitar about them. Over the summer i was playing a show in Indianapolis, and happened to catch signs hanging around downtown for the Eiteljorg Museum's "Guitars! Roundups to Rockers" exhibit. So I busted a move over there, not knowing what to expect.
In this segment of our exclusive Acoustic Nation Play It Now video series, hit singer songwriter Matt Nathanson teaches me, and YOU, how to play his latest single, "Mission Bells." The track appears on his new album, The Last of the Great Pretenders. Nathanson, and his guitar player Aaron Tap, run through the riff, verse and chorus arrangements for what is basically a fun to play three-chord song.
Nathanson, a veteran of folk-laced rock, sings a path to my heart with this latest amalgam of longing mixed with bouncy fun. His many references to San Francisco also hit close to my part of the globe and bring the album a fresh, sincere vibe. Last of the Great Pretenders is a window into what it's like to be inside of Nathanson's head.

- " Red Nest hostel was conveniently located in the middle of Valencia and the staff were generally helpful to us. The hostel tends to host a younger crowd and this is apparent through the strict rules posted everywhere. ("No walking without shoes to the showers", "No alcohol allowed to be brought into the hostel", etc.) There was a security guard posted at the desk at nice, which was unusual to me. The 4-bed rooms are very small and uncomfortable, but the facilities were clean. "

- " Loved how clean everything was, the upstairs bartender was awesome, and location superb. Staff gave some awful recommendations (or didn't know English well enough to help) and some just didn't care about being helpful. The atmosphere was dead compared to the Purple Nest Hostel (and no happy hour!), and the free walking tour was a joke-the guides didn't speak English well nor know any history whatsoever (very attractive though!). Good hostel but nothing special. Would recommend Purple Nest first. "

BV Bombers' balance paves the way
Kendall Rogers
Friday, August 23, 2013
It sure didn't take long for Brazos Valley Bombers head coach Curt Dixon to figure out he was blessed with a good group of players this summer.
For many summer head coaches around the country, the summer collegiate season can sometimes be one of those situations where you're just trying to put all the pieces together, hoping the pitching staff pans out. But not the Bombers, they were different. Instead of worrying about which pitchers would have which roles, the Bombers had a nice collection of starting pitchers, relievers, and perhaps most special of all given their proximity to Texas A&M University, Bryan High School and A&M Consolidated High School, they encompassed a lot of local flavor.
What likely began as an impossible dream for the Bombers ended in the Texas Collegiate League team's ultimate milestone – finishing the summer as the Perfect Game Summer Team of the Year.

"Putting it all together, we knew we were going to be really talented in my second year here. The first summer, we were just kind of learning who to get, who not to get and so forth," head coach Curt Dixon, who serves as an assistant coach at Eastern Oklahoma State College said. "One thing I really tried to do before the summer was find a bunch of guys who hadn't thrown too many innings, and go from there. I think that's what really separated us from the pack. We were able to roll out quality starters, as well as quality relievers."
Most summer league title races are rather close, heated, and come down to the final couple of weeks of the regular season, as well as the playoff races. But the Bombers weren't the norm, they imposed their will from the get-go. Brazos Valley finished the summer season with not only an easy ride through the TCL Playoffs, they also finished the year with a 49-15 record, including an incredible 26-4 mark the first half of the regular season.
In the TCL postseason, the Bombers proceeded to beat defending league champion East Texas in a winner-take-all single game, while they toppled Victoria in a three-game series to win the overall league title.
"As a competitor, you always have high expectations. The commitment and energy of these guys was impressive. You're talking 56, 57 and so on games into the regular season, with things already locked up in the regular season race, and these guys are showing up early, focused and committed as they were on the first day of the season. That kind of dedication really contributed to the type of season we had."
For the Bombers, much of their success this summer stemmed from strong pitching, beginning with Texas A&M right-handed pitcher Parker Ray and Middle Tennessee State junior left-handed pitcher Zac Curtis.
Both are intriguing players and prospects for different reasons. Ray, a former walk-on infielder at Texas A&M, didn't get a lot of innings or headlines early on during the 2013 college baseball season. However, head coach Rob Childress leaned more on him as the season progressed, and he molded into one of A&M's elite weekend starters, striking out eight, walking one and allowing just a run on five hits in 8 2/3 innings of work against Texas-San Antonio in the NCAA postseason.
Ray's story and stock got better this summer. As one of the top pitchers for the Bombers, he started six games, threw 48 innings, struck out 49, walked 14, and most impressive, he finished the summer with a 1.68 earned-run average. From a stuff standpoint, Ray utilized an 89-92 fastball with four pitches, including a plus changeup to left-handed hitters. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder, also showed good command of the strike zone.
"Parker. He just has all the intangibles. He'll threw four pitches for strikes and that changeup to lefties is devastating. They'll know it's coming, and they simply still won't hit it," Dixon said. "He lives in good counts and he goes out there and pitches like he's 6-foot-4, 225 pounds. He's a bulldog and acts like he's 28 or 29 and in the big leagues. It's an impressive set of traits."
As for Curtis, he's impressive for his own set of reasons. Curtis, a smallish 5-foot-9, 179-pounder, might not have a strong physical presence, but his stuff more than made up for it this summer. Curtis finished the spring with the Blue Raiders sporting a 4.93 ERA in 80 1/3 innings, along with 74 strikeouts and 31 walks.
Though size certainly will be an issue with some scouts moving into his junior campaign, his stuff had scouts buzzing this summer. He was consistently 90-92 with a deceptive fastball as a starting pitcher, and Dixon and others feel like he could easily sit 93-94 during short stints as a reliever. Curtis finished the summer with a 1.61 ERA in 39 innings, along with 40 strikeouts and 23 walks.
"Every scout I spoke to this summer turned in good reports on Zac and commented on just how good he was. It was the best fastball I saw this summer, and you're talking about a guy who goes out there without even thinking about looking in the mirror," Dixon said. "He still needs to develop his secondary stuff a bit more, but his fastball is very hard to pick up and it's a special pitch. He had a great summer, and I could really see him as a lefty specialist at the next level."
Cal State Northridge right-handed pitchers Bryce Rutherford and Shay Maltese also left a strong impression on Bombers coach Curt Dixon this summer. Rutherford served as a starting pitcher, making nine starts and tallying 58 strikeouts and just 19 walks in 56 innings of work. Meanwhile, Maltese made a strong impression. Maltese, who went undrafted earlier this summer, could be an intriguing senior sign candidate to watch during the 2014 college campaign.
Maltese, serving as a reliever/closer for the Bombers, struck out 28, walked 12 and tallied a 3.11 ERA in 17 1/3 innings of work. He also showed a 90-92, and up to 94, fastball with heavy sink, while he had a 79-82 wipeout slider. Maltese worked especially hard this summer on improving his two-seam fastball.
"I had some scouts this summer come up to me at times and talk about how Shay has big-time stuff," Dixon said. "He's still figuring things out overall, but he's absolutely a draft guy moving forward."
As with most teams during the summer, the Bombers didn't have an incredibly productive offense. However, they were opportunistic and had a unique three-headed monster in UTSA infielder Horacio Correa III, junior college infielder Blake Kopetsky and incoming Texas A&M signee, gangly first baseman G.R. Hinsley.
Correa earned good reviews this summer, showing versatility in terms of positions he can play around the infield, while also hitting .314 with a home run and 28 RBIs. Kopetsky, formerly of Temple Junior College, arrived at the TCL with big dreams. Well, those dreams came true as he hit .309 with five homers and 30 RBIs, impressing observers, including A&M's Childress, enough to where he earned a spot on the Aggies' roster next fall.
Then there's Hinsley. Hinsley is a 6-foot-2, 210-pounder, first baseman, who displayed consistency and a good eye for the zone this summer. He batted .309 with 14 doubles, six homers and 55 RBIs, while most impressive, he tallied 28 walks as opposed to just 22 strikeouts.
"He's a stud. I saw him first when we played Paris JC in the spring. He just finds the barrel and can hit in any count. He's a middle of the lineup type of guy who just gets the job done," he said. "Something that really gets overlooked is that G.R. has very good footwork at first base, too. He's a gamer, he's consistent and he's not just a hitter. He's a very solid overall player."
Overall, the Brazos Valley Bombers were a fun team to follow with somewhat of a different approach. The main goal of summer leagues around the country is to refine the game of players, while also helping mold them into better prospects.
The Bombers, thanks to their leadership from top to bottom, instilled those principles, while also emphasizing the idea of "team" in the summer landscape.
Dixon knew that approach at the beginning of the summer, and it indeed paid huge dividends.

In an emotional speech Wednesday, Germany's Angela Merkel rebuked Russia's Vladimir Putin for his violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. Her country's incredible progress since World War II gives her credibility to demand the same of Russia.
By the Monitor's Editorial Board / March 13, 2014
Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin have met dozens of times. They speak each other's languages. Their countries' economies are tightly bound. Even though Ms. Merkel is chancellor of Germany, she addresses the Russian president with the informal "du" of German.

Scholarship, Varsity Options Increase |
Colleges - College News |
The scholarship and high performance opportunities in college rugby are continuously increasing, and three schools are seriously upping their games in that area, but doing it a little bit differently than some of the newer varsity or quasi varsity programs out there have. Furman University in Greenville, SC and Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala. have parlayed already existent traditional clubs on campus into new opportunities, while Simpson College in Indianola, IA is starting a new program that's focusing solely on 7s.
"The school looked at their recruiting efforts and marketing efforts and they decided to focus on athletics and put a little more resources into fringe athletic teams, move those teams under the athletic department in an effort to provide resources and inevitably create more admissions for the school in general," new Spring Hill full-time head coach Mollie McCarthy said. Spring Hill is a Jesuit Liberal Arts college with an undergraduate enrollment of about 1,300 students. The School doesn't recognize the rugby program as varsity, but it will be fully funded, overseen by the athletic department and McCarthy, formerly the coach development director for USA Rugby, has scholarships available for men and women. The women's team doesn't already exist on campus, but McCarthy hopes to field the school's first women's side in the fall of 2013. "We'll have to travel quite a bit. I don't know if 7s is what we're going to focus on first, just to get the interest," said McCarthy, "but we're definitely going to have to travel to Louisiana, Florida to get games, since there's not much in terms of the Alabama, Mississippi area, which will be a little bit difficult, but that's the goal is to really start recruiting for it and get a team together for the fall season." Also interesting is that Spring Hill will remain in the NSCRO. Davenport played its first competitive season in DI-AA, winning the National Championship. Lindenwood played its first season in DII, winning a National Championship. AIC was very competitive in DII its first year and competitive in DI-AA its second. Wheeling Jesuit has started as an independent DI-AA team. Only Spring Hill and Notre Dame College have gone the NSCRO route. "We're staying NSCRO until we are organized and competitive enough. That's not to say we wouldn't look to advance," said McCarthy. "The school itself is NAIA, but we're applying to NCAA Division 2, so everything here is a timely process. I think once the school moves into NCAA DII, I think club sports would heavily want to follow suit, rugby would want to follow suit. We're not, right away, expecting to be competing at the top, top level. Our goal, really right now, is build the program and build the name and move up after we have the structure in place." Furman "The school's going to provide $100,000 each year over the next four years for financial aid for rugby players. And then I'm hoping to raise another $100,000 from our alumni and friends and parents," said Furman coach John Roberts, who also works as communication director in Furman's department of marketing and public relations. "Now that we've transitioned into DII, we're a small school, and I went to our president and some key folks in our university, admission folks, financial aid folks, and said we're moving up to DII now, and if we're going to be championship competitive on a national scale, as we have been with DIII, then I'm going to need a little help…They understand the value of rugby here, and what it brings to our student life, so I went in and asked for a small amount, and our president was much more supportive than I thought he would be." Roberts is hopeful the school will see the value in its initial $400,000 investment and re-commit more down the line. Simpson The unique thing about Simpson is it's focusing on 7s. The team of current Simpson students has been recruited by Norlin using several different on-campus tools, and only a couple of the current players have rugby experience. Simpson has scheduled some 7s round-robins with Midwest schools and is on the search for more matches. Draper pitched the idea of a sponsored rugby program to several small schools in Iowa, and Simpson was the only one with a sympathetic ear. Draper's professional relationship with the school's president was a positive factor. "What we provide for Simpson, is obviously what any other small school is looking at. They have kids who are on the football team or were on the football team. We have three guys who are on the football team now who were playing rugby for us in our high school league. If these kids stop playing football or stop playing any other sport, a lot of them leave the school," said Draper. "If we can retain one kid for one semester, we've broken even based on the investment the school is making already. If we retain two, we're turning a profit for the school. So, it becomes a very simple metric for them that if we can start taking kids who are looking to go to school in Iowa, giving them a pathway for a sporting option that a lot of our kids are looking to continue with, for them it's very profitable very quickly. For them, it's a very straight up ROI situation." Draper, who was largely a forward at Cal, has taken Iowa's high school rugby player population from less than 30 to over 500 using 7s. "I think it's something where we're a little ahead of the time, but that's the way things are going," said Draper. "We need to be training 7s athletes if we're going to be winning Gold, and I think that's really my personal goal, because I think that's where we can compete in the world…People see 7s on TV, they don't see 15s. When these school administrators, when they saw rugby on NBC, they're seeing 7s, they're seeing Olympics, and that's what we're able to deliver for them." How much did the Iowa high school rugby explosion play into Simpson's decision to start a program? "My first instinct is to say 100-percent, and I'm trying to justify ways to come down from there…This would not have even been a discussion if we hadn't had as many high school kids playing rugby as we have," said Draper. "At a school like Simpson where they have 1,500 kids, 680 of them are athletes, so they really do invest heavily in athletics, you're looking at a situation where if they have 10 extra kids every year, that's a massive year. 10 kids is worth $300,000 to them potentially."

Having 20-plus years of experience doesn't seem like the typical job deal-breaker—well, welcome to the recession. Someone who knows how experience can actually hurt you is Hollywood-based journalist Lisa Johnson Mandell. Even with an impressive résumé of more than two decades in entertainment reporting, Lisa found herself in a career rut after unsuccessfully trying to find full-time work.
"I [have] really solid journalism skills and experience, but oddly enough the experience was working against me," Lisa says. "People who were much younger and much less experienced [than me]—didn't know the terrain, didn't have half the contacts I did—were getting all the jobs." Lisa's husband's theory for her job struggle was that she looked old on paper. He said that when employers pictured someone with 20-plus years of experience, they saw a bad gray perm, not someone young, vital and Internet-savvy. With no prospective job in sight, Lisa focused on carving out her own niche instead of trying to compete with the younger crop of workers. And with that, Lisa's résumé makeover began! Find out the results of her makeover. Advertisement

This product is a mixture of a variety of high-temperature metallic materials and after a lengthy testing, toughness, strength are up to the highest standards, and has the effect of impact-resistant. Lonex uses a new accurate 8mm design which the bearings effectively control the center movement reducing friction; therefore, reducing heat and battery consumption. The 8mm bearing is designed by Japanese specifications of 8mm x 3mm x 2.5mm which brings out the strength and smoothness to a long lasting degree. Upgrading from your stock gearbox would increase the overall durability of the gun as well increase the lifespan. The most common place for a gearbox to break is towards the front due to the constant impact of the piston assembly onto the cylinder head. The constant vibration can cause the metal to crack the eventually break. The Lonex Gearbox which is made out of a very strong and and heat tested material, is designed to prevent that from happening.

It was a great experience staying at this place in Cairo. Location was great near the market and Islamic Cairo. The area looks kinda rough but not once did it feel unsafe. Everyone around were very friendly. Service was excellent. The individuals that work there made me feel at home. I will definitely be staying there again on my next trip to Cairo.

SNA President Nancy Lane has been providing daily reports from the road while she traveled with the Innovation Mission. Eighteen community media executives took part in this week-long study, visiting some of the most innovative media houses in North America. The group focused on new business models and emerging content strategies.
At 4 PM on Friday afternoon, Innovation Mission attendees debriefed in a conference room at Torstar's offices, hosted by Metroland, on the key take-aways of the past six days. There was no shortage of enthusiasm despite the exhausting travel schedule that took the group to four states and two countries in a short, compact period of time.
Emotions ranged from aha moments to outright confusion on next steps. Everyone walked away with new ideas and new friends. Many are going to make dramatic changes upon their return as a result of this experience.
Some of the feedback included:
"Use your own media as cash - big aha moment. This means taking your trusted products and using them to create new opportunities. We saw this happening at Deseret, JRC and Metroland. On the content side, we will look at ways to lower costs by using things like web round-ups and evergreen content. We will also work to establish a distinct editorial voice like Clark is doing at Deseret." – Jon Rust, Co-President, Rust Communications, Inc.
"I will certainly make some digital-only hires when I get back and will also shift some responsibilities to the digital side. This will also include changes in compensation plans to put more emphasis on digital." – Dan Easton, Co-Publisher/Vice President, Victoria Advocate
"Having products that work and that the reps can sell really resonated with me. ShopTalk was also one of my top take-aways from the entire trip." – Brandon Erlacher, Publisher, The Elkhart Truth (Note: click here for details on ShopTalk, covered in the Friday Morning Report)
"This trip hammered home the importance of training community contributors for me. I will also look at ways to take our content and create other verticals, such as pets." – Peter Haggert, Editor-in-Chief, Toronto Community News/Metroland Media Group
"Training in all areas is essential. We do a great job but it is not enough and it is not consistent across all departments. The commitment to training that we witnessed this week is amazing and reinforces the need to make it a top priority when we get back." – Edwin Rothrock, Director of Digital Advertising, The World Company
"Big aha moment came on the user-generated content side. We are the Wild West right now when it comes to community comments and bloggers. I now realize that this needs to be high quality/good content; the Wild West approach hurts our brand long-term." – Steve McHaney, Co-Publisher/Vice President, Victoria Advocate
"This experience has taught me how easy it can be for us to disrupt the disruptors and extend our reach. I also like the digital agency approach presented by Kurt Lozier from Dow Jones Local Media Group and going after the 67% that is being spent on promotion and infrastructure." – Terry Kukle, Vice President of Business Development, Metroland Media Group Ltd. (Note: click here for details on the Dow Jones digital agency, covered in the Tuesday Report)
"Clark made me realize that there is a big pot of online revenue that we are not going after. His diagrams on the whiteboard made it clear for me. I was also extremely inspired by the entire day at Metroland." – Suzanne Schlicht, COO, The World Company
"Being in these environments of great innovation made me realize that my company is not innovative enough. All of us think that we are innovative; we are not. We will look to make some changes when I get back including: on the sales structure and compensation side, there is not enough incentive to sell online; the family media center from Deseret would work well in our market; ShopTalk at Metroland was terrific; would like to look at licensing opportunities for UofCheap." – John Derr, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Lancaster Newspapers, Inc. (Note: click here for details on UofCheap.com, covered in the Friday Afternoon Report)
"This trip reinforced a lot of things for me and will give me the courage to implement some things upon my return. I realize now that I only have my toe in the water when it comes to digital innovation; I have not fully committed. We need to measure everything that we do. We must commit to more training – not just on the sales side but in all areas of our business. We also need to create great digital products for our reps to sell." – Robert Brown, President, COO, Swift Communications
"I really like the idea of measuring the cost of editorial content. The ShopTalk product is amazing. I also like the idea (at Torrington) of live streaming the daily news meeting and opening it up to the public." – Doug McAvoy, Audience Development Director, The Elkhart Truth
SNA President Nancy Lane is in the process of writing a comprehensive industry report about the week-long Innovation Mission. The report will include extensive notes from each visit and key lessons learned. Lane will first present the findings of this report at the upcoming SNA/The Blinder Group Revenue Leadership Summit, May 18-20, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. The Summit is only $495 for SNA Members and $595 for non-members. To register, click here. For more information, click here.
For those that can't make the Summit in person, the session will be broadcast live via webinar on Thursday, May 19, at 2:45 PM ET. The webinar is only $49 for SNA Members and $79 for non-members. To register, click here.
The Lessons Learned Report detailing the entire Innovation Mission will also be available for purchase on May 24, and SNA will feature lessons learned and key take-aways throughout the year via webinars and conference sessions.
"I can't thank the Innovation Mission hosts, speakers and attendees enough for an amazing week", said Lane. "The hosts were so gracious with their time and shared tons of internal information with us. The attendees were just a fabulous group of community media executives that were eager to learn as much as possible even though all of them run very innovative and successful companies already. We can't wait to share all of the information and lessons learned with the entire industry."
