Verizon workers in Delaware to stay on job without new contract
By Associated Press 8:53am, August 2, 2015 - Updated 11:07am, August 2, 2015Unions representing Verizon workers in nine states, including Delaware, said their members will work without a contract as more negotiations are scheduled with the wireless carrier.
Leaders of the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers announced the decision early Sunday after a contract covering 39,000 workers expired. The unions said they're prepared to schedule regular bargaining sessions.
Verizon Chief Administrative Officer Marc Reed said in a statement the company is "disappointed" there aren't agreements but it will continue negotiating.
The unions said Verizon is demanding cuts in jobs and job security and wants to either eliminate the company's 401k benefit match or freeze its defined benefit pension.
Verizon has said the union's proposals are "unrealistic and out-of-touch in today's marketplace."

Ceremony celebrates return, deployment of New Castle Air National Guard airmen
By Taggart Houck 5:08pm, August 1, 2015 - Updated 11:58pm, August 1, 2015
VIDEO: WDEL's Taggart Houck reports.More than 330 airmen preparing for deployment this fall and winter to locations in Southwest Asia at a ceremony Saturday at the Delaware Air National Guard base near New Castle.
Captain Sean Kelley of Florida is among those who returned. He finished his fourth deployment with the guard; he was stationed five months in Germany, where he flew in and out of Afghanistan picking up patients and taking them for treatment at a German hospital. Some were even transported stateside.
He said he loves what he does, but between family and a civilian job, it can be tough be away for so long.
"Not only do you have your family members taking care of all of your business that you don't handle while you're away, you're employer has the burden of dealing without you," he said. "It's a team effort. Civilian employers are wonderful for letting us do the job and supporting us when we come back."
Now a Floridian, Kelley makes the long trek to return to the Delaware Air National Guard, for which he has served since 2007.
"This is why I commute from Florida just to come up here," he said. "There's some wonderful people here that are doing the job." Kelley said.
Kelley said he plans to return home and to his job at the Veterans Administration after completing a military drill.
At the ceremony, Senator Tom Carper also thanked six airmen, returning from overseas, for their service.

Peterson, Teheran power Braves past Phils
By Associated Press 6:26pm, August 2, 2015Jace Peterson had three hits, including a three-run home run, and Julio Teheran pitched seven strong innings to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 6-2 victory over the Phillies Sunday.
Chris Johnson, Jonny Gomes and Ryan Lavarnway all had an RBI for the Braves, who snapped a season-worst six-game losing streak while winning for just the second time in the last 15 road games to avoid a four-game series sweep.
Ryan Howard had two hits, one a double, for the Phillies, who lost for just the third time in 15 games since the All-Star break.
Teheran (7-6) earned his first road win since his season debut on April 6 at Miami.

Dodge Chargers recalled over door slam that makes airbags inflate
By Associated Press 11:14am, August 2, 2015Fiat Chrysler has recalled more than 322,000 sedans worldwide because side air bags can inflate if doors are slammed too hard.
The recall covers certain Dodge Chargers from the 2011 to 2014 model years, mainly in the U.S. and Canada.
Last week, more than 843,000 Dodge Ram pickup trucks were recalled for the same problem. The company said the Charger recall came from an internal investigation launched because of the truck recall.
Fiat Chrysler said the air bag control modules may be too sensitive and need to be recalibrated. The company says it knows of three minor injuries from the problem.
Owners will be notified when they can bring cars in for repairs. In the meantime, the company said people should use caution when closing doors.

Study: Delaware's economic growth lagging behind most of nation
By Taggart Houck 7:40pm, August 1, 2015 - Updated 11:34pm, August 1, 2015A recent study suggested Delaware's economic growth lagged behind most of the country in 2014.
Statistics released by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis show Delaware's economy grew 1.2 percent in 2014 compared to the national economy in 2014, which grew at a rate of 2.2 percent.
According to the statistics from the department, Delaware's gross domestic product (GDP) ranked 30th in the nation.
There are different ways to measure the success of an economy, but the use of GDP is known as one of the more common ways. It measures the value of goods and services produced in the state.
The report said Delaware's growth has been lagging compared to the national economic growth for at least the last four years.
In 2011, the state's economy grew by 1.2 percent while the country's economy grew by 1.4 percent. In 2013, the state economy grew 0.7 percent, and the national economy grew by 1.9 percent.

Pickup driver may be charged after crash critically injures 1 Greenwood
By Frank Gerace 1:24pm, August 1, 2015 - Updated 11:25pm, August 1, 2015Delaware State Police said charges may be pending against a Bear-area man after a crash that critically injured the passenger in his pickup truck.
Police said the driver of the pickup was speeding northbound on Route 13 near Marsh Branch Road north of Greenwood around 4:40 p.m. Friday when the truck ran off the road.
The truck hit a "one way" sign and a mailbox before traveling back onto the road and into the center median, hitting an embankment and rolling over several times, police said.
The driver and passenger, neither of whom were wearing seatbelts, were thrown from the truck, officers said.
The passenger, 44-year-old Donald Woods of Newark, was flown to Christiana Hospital, where he's in critical condition, police said.
Police said the driver, who was treated and released from Milford Memorial Hospital, could be charged in connection with the crash, which closed Route 13 in both directions at the scene for about two hours.

Firm reports problem in fail-safe system on jet that crashed, killing Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner
By Associated Press 11:44pm, August 1, 2015
Lewis Katz, the former co-owner of the Philadelphia Inquirier. (Photo/file)The manufacturer of the jet that crashed on takeoff last year, killing Lewis Katz, the co-owner of The Philadelphia Inquirer and six other people, reports a problem with a fail-safe system on the aircraft.
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. told the National Transportation Safety Board in May that an interlock system on the Gulfstream IV is supposed to keep throttles from being pushed forward much if hinged tail flaps are locked - but it actually allows much higher runway speeds even if a plane can't take off.
The company, however, blames the crash on the crew failing to disengage the locking system and then not aborting takeoff immediately once a problem was clear.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Federal Aviation Administration is working with Gulfstream on "design changes" to the aircraft.

DEFINITION of 'Set-Off Clause'
A legal clause that gives a lender the authority to seize a debtor's deposits when they default on a loan. A set-off clause can also refer to a settlement of mutual debt between a creditor and a debtor through offsetting transaction claims. This allows creditors to collect a greater amount than they usually could under bankruptcy proceedings.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Set-Off Clause'
If a debtor is unable to meet an obligation to his or her bank, the bank can seize the customer's current deposit. Set-off provisions are not limited to loans between banks and their customers, but are also widely used in other industries, such as construction.
The Truth in Lending Act prohibits set-off clauses from applying to credit card transactions; this protects consumers who decline to pay for defective merchandise.

I've been reading on here for ages, and you all have such great advice and information.
I'm planning the middle leg of a trip from mid-September to Early October and I'm hoping to spend a few nights in Skopolos. However, I've having trouble finding any clear information about ferries or boats there in September. I know it is off-peak but there must be some way? Any guidance or links to carriers would be so much appreciated.
Additionally, if Skopolos is too tricky, I would also appreciate your suggestions on another lovely Greek Island to visit at this time.
Thank you!

Ferries to Skopelos originate on Skiathos so you have to go there first. http://www.gtp.gr
Report Abuse
Where will you be entering Greece? If Athens, the usual way is to take a bus to Agios Konstaninos, then the ferry from there to Skopelos (the ferry also stops at Skiathos). There are flights from Athens to Skiathos (only one a day, I believe), and you can catch the ferry to Skopelos from there, as brotherleelove has already indicated.
If you are coming from the north, there are also ferries from Volos to the Sporades. Don't look for ferries from the Athens ports — there aren't any.
Report Abuse
From Athens you can also take a bus taking you straight to the ferry at Agios Konstantinos on time for the departure.
Once again i can't remember the name of the travel agency that is offering the bus-ferry combination, but hopefully Heimdall will....
Report Abuse
I couldn't remember the name of the company, but found it with a search. The company is Alkyon Travel, and their website is http://www.alkyontravel.gr/index.php?VIEW=BUS. It appears that service is available only until 22nd September.
There are, I'm certain, KTEL bus services as well, because islanders in the Sporades must need to get back and forth to Athens or Thessaloniki from time to time, even in winter. Whether that means going to Volos instead of Agios Konstantinos I don't know. Anyway, when the OP tells us where she will be starting from it will be easier to find some alternatives.

Thank you for your through responses! I was exploring possibilities, so there was no point of origin, but I've finalized my plans w/out Greek Islands for this trip. Next time...

AnnieApr 18, 2008It wasn't that bad. A lot of jumpy stuff but okay.
Sep 25, 2012A movie to hang out with your friends ... has an unoriginal plot and the movie gets a bit boring as move through the movie. The only thing I liked about the movie was how well acted the protagonist.
JoshT.Jun 1, 2008Ok movie but very cheesy, too predictable and im pretty sure if ur mum was being murdered next to you would do something about it instead of covering your mouth with ur hand. Brittany Snow was OK but the chick that played lisa hines was poor. Also it was quite intense and had many jumps but the jumps just werent scary enuf.
JayH.Aug 7, 2008Although it's not a great film, I am surprised at the extremely negative reviews. It did have some suspense, and it held my interest. Indeed, it did have cliche's. Brittany Snow certainly doesn't have the acting range for the role.
Despite having the same title and a similar premise to a 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis flick (kids getting slaughtered on prom night), this is NOT a remake. In fact, it really doesn't have much of a plot. It's basically "The O.C." with a body count.
A surprisingly effective teen-skewing thriller that soft-pedals graphic violence (in marked contrast to the R-rated 1980 original) while generating a fair degree of suspense.
Formulaic to the core, this reworking of the fondly remembered high-school slasher picture works surprisingly well on its own terms.

Our Lord gave us a way to know Him and His plan, the Church, singular. The Roman Catholic Church.
The Roman Catholic Church decided the Canon by her God
given authority. Without the Church you wouldn't have
your professed "Bible Alone." Seeeee...
That's why Ephesians 4:5 states there is one Lord, one
faith, one Baptism. The reason Our Lord established one
The Gospel says the Church not the Bible is the pillar and
foundation of Truth (1 Timothy 3:15).
Anonymous Coward 20541213
I'm sorry, but I don't accept the RCC as what Jesus came to establish. We have the apostles' teachings as eyewitnesses of Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection. And when we put our trust in him alone, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit as "a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance".
Jesus said that we would worship God "in spirit and truth" rather than in this or that place, and that he would be there "whenever two or three" gather in his name.
That's all I need. :-)
PS: 1 Timothy 3:15 doesn't say anything about the RCC but "the church", the Body and Bride of Christ, composed of all who have the Holy Spirit.

We are in need of policy research assistance to prepare some of the legislative proposals Libertas will be advancing in the 2016 general session beginning in January. See here for an example of recent policies we worked on.
Job responsibilities
These are unpaid positions, though we will gladly work with your school to provide credit if that is an option. Any necessary expenditures related to assigned work will be reimbursed.
Interns will work in Lehi on a part-time basis, either a morning or afternoon shift. The length of the internship will roughly match the fall semester schedule, though we are flexible to work around the intern's needs.
Interested students should submit a résumé and two writing samples to email@example.com with "Research internship application" in the subject line.]]>
"Despite what some among us would like to believe," NEA's effectiveness "is not because of our creative ideas," he said. "It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children, and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child." Having made that clear, he moved on to his point:
NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power, and we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year, because they believe that we are the union that can most effectively represent them—the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.
This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps, reducing dropout rates, improving teacher quality, and the like, are unimportant or inappropriate. To the contrary, these are the goals that guide the work we do. But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights, and collective bargaining. That simply is too high a price to pay.
Those in attendance rose to give Chanin a standing ovation, clearly supporting this position—a position that reveals that the union's power is aimed not at helping children (despite public statements to the contrary), but at preserving and expanding the benefits and privileges given to their members, the education bureaucracy.
It is against this backdrop that I present the NEA's official position on home-schooling, one of many resolutions contained in a 109 page document listing the organization's views on a variety of education-related issues. It begins with a simple, yet audacious claim: "The National Education Association believes that home schooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience."
Recognizing that this union—and its affiliate, the Utah Education Association—fights first and foremost for the teacher's interests, as opposed to the students, it becomes clear why such a position exists at all. Fewer students in the classroom mean fewer dollars given to the system; funding models tied to seat time and daily attendance create an incentive to support compulsory education and oppose alternatives that threaten their stream of income.
Of course, the NEA's resolution is laughable on its face; a union protecting its members' interests is not the ideal institution to define what is a "comprehensive education experience." Further, this claim is at odds with the data; as a recent nationwide study reports, homeschooled children "have scored, on average, at the 65th to 80th percentile on standardized academic achievement tests, compared to the national school average of the 50th percentile." Given that fact, and the oft-reported poor performance of flunking students, failing schools, and widespread need for remedial education of public school graduates, perhaps the NEA's "comprehensive education experience" refers more to the social environment provided by the government school system. But the same study finds that homeschooled children develop "at least as well, and often better than, those who attend institutional schools." The study's summary concludes:
More than two decades of research have shown that homeschooling… is associated with relatively high academic achievement, healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood for those who were home educated.
But it's clear that such a hard-line position against homeschoolers is grounded more in emotion than fact when the NEA's resolution also states their view that homeschooled students "should not participate in any extracurricular activities in the public schools"—a purely punitive proposal.
If the state's interest in an educated populace justifies the status quo, then alternatives with little to no cost and superior outcomes, such as homeschooling, should be ardently defended and sought after. Fortunately, the NEA's opinion holds no sway on this issue, given the legislature's recent deregulation of homeschooling.]]>
By their own admission, many same-sex marriage proponents view the Supreme Court's recent ruling more as the beginning—and certainly not the end—of a larger legislative and judicial war. This contention has exhausted hundreds of millions of dollars and man hours. Even worse, it has turned neighbors into enemies.
You don't see such hostility between Mormons and Catholics regarding the form and method of baptism. The former church believes that baptizing infants is a "mockery before God" whereas the latter considers it "an immemorial tradition of the Church." Each group disagrees with the other, but not to the point of bitterness and public strife.
Obviously, there is no government definition of baptism; one denomination has not been able to impose its doctrinal position on their peers through the force of law. As such, there is no attempt to wrest control of political power to modify and expand that definition to be more inclusive. Each group operates in a "live and let live" fashion, using persuasion to convince others.
Government involvement in marriage is not a given. Marriage licenses first developed not as a way to protect children or encourage heterosexual unions, but as a way primarily to prohibit interracial couples. Several colonies—and later, every state—outright banned mixed-race marriages. Requiring a permission slip to marry enabled the government to micro-manage a person's relationships, whether with a person of another race, a drunk, or somebody with a "mental defect."
The power to license is the power to deny—by intervening in the marriage relationship, which historically was between two families and often their ecclesiastical leadership, the government can legally exclude and punish classes of people it finds desirable. Just in 2009, one interracial couple in Louisiana was denied permission to marry by a judge who refused to grant a license. "I'm not a racist," he said. "I just don't believe in mixing the races that way." Every sane person should reject this attempt to control, through the force of law, who we live with and love.
Government need not be given the power to dictate who can enter into a relationship; the freedom of association is a sacrosanct, fundamental right that predates and thus supersedes the state. We should reject, and not seek to enlarge, the government's role in marriage—a position I and others have been advocating for several years.
In response to this idea, state senator Jim Dabakis commented that to remove government from marriage would be to "destroy" it. But this is nonsense, just as it would be absurd to claim that repealing the state's restrictive liquor licensure regime would "destroy" liquor distribution.
Allow me to paint a picture. Whereas currently a couple must first seek the permission of the state to marry, imagine a world where the loving couple's first consideration was not the county bureaucracy, but their commitment to one another, their ceremony at their church or with family and friends as witnesses. They would think about themselves and their future—and not whether they had filled out the requisite form to be given legal approval.
Anybody could get "married" on their own terms, and according to their own definition. Those desiring legal recognition—for tax purposes, estate planning, visitation rights, or otherwise—could provide evidence of their union to the state, which would simply rubber-stamp the simple application. The state would become secondary and subordinate.
Of course, the real change will come through removing all the incentives and privileges government has long associated with marriage, at which point legal recognition will become less enticing. Until that time, the imperative next step is to eliminate licensure—so the government can no longer prohibit undesirable unions—and require the government to recognize the affirmed relationships of consenting adults. Special privileges should be eliminated; faith and fidelity should be their own reward.
The current climate will continue to breed contention, legislation, and litigation. This approach is unnecessary and unproductive. Anybody interested in a civil society based on tolerance and mutual respect must give serious thought to removing the state from our sacred, intimate, and private relationships.]]>
"Our LGBT friends have good reason to be happy today, but those concerned about our laws and legal structure have great cause for alarm. As Chief Justice Roberts said in his dissent, 'The majority's decision is an act of will, not legal judgment. The right it announces has no basis in the Constitution or this Court's precedent… Just who do we think we are?'
"Today's opinion—and let's be clear, that's all it is—provides an opportunity for lawmakers to reconsider their long-standing support for government intervention in such an important societal relationship. In the coming months, we will be encouraging elected officials to consider a proposal to repeal government licensure of marriage, allowing churches, notaries public, and others to privately officiate and sanction these unions.
"Despite what some lawyers think, there is no 'fundamental right' to a government permission slip. The long-standing violation of the sacred union of marriage—encouraged by those looking to shape society to match their vision—needs to be fixed."
A similar proposal recently passed the Alabama State Senate 22-3, but the legislature adjourned before it was considered in the House. Libertas Institute is encouraging supporters to sign this petition.]]>
Predictably, the dissent—issued by Justice Scalia—pointed out the absurdity of this approach. "Words no longer have meaning," he wrote, "if an Exchange that is not established by a State is 'established by the State.'"
But these linguistic gymnastics are part and parcel of the nation's highest court; calling a "penalty" a tax, as in another Obamacare suit, or claiming that commerce among the several states means any transaction—or potential transaction—by any single individual anywhere, is a drop in the ocean of awful and expansive jurisprudence that has, in its totality, given to Congress a default green light—a presumption of constitutionality for whatever it wants to do.
The degree to which the Court has become disconnected from the founding document it is supposed to interpret and uphold is especially evident in this King opinion, in which the majority opinion says this:
In a democracy, the power to make the law rests with those chosen by the people. Our role is more confined—"to say what the law is." Marbury v. Madison, 1 Cranch 137, 177 (1803). That is easier in some cases than in others. But in every case we must respect the role of the Legislature, and take care not to undo what it has done. A fair reading of legislation demands a fair understanding of the legislative plan.
This deference to Congress is predicated on the Court's conclusion that the United States of America is a "democracy"—a word not found anywhere in the founding document that created the nation. Surely these educated lawyers are aware of this fact, and further, the active opposition the document's framers had toward democracy. Summarizing them all, here is James Madison writing in the Federalist, encouraging passage of the U.S. Constitution:
Hence it is that democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general have been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths… A republic, by which I mean a government in which a scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect and promises the cure for which we are seeking.
The Court, through decades of expansive and deferential interpretations—tortured readings so as to "take care not to undo what [Congress] has done"—has reshaped the nation, ignored the document it claims to uphold, and substituted for the supreme law of the land its own whims and ends. Thus we read, in Scalia's dissent in the King case, that
the discouraging truth [is] that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites.
A fundamental principle of law in our country is that of prospective application—that laws should apply to individuals and actions in the future as opposed to retroactively in the past. For this reason, both the United States and Utah Constitutions expressly prohibit "ex post facto" laws—laws that apply after the fact. This principle was so obvious to the Constitution's framers that some even opposed its inclusion, arguing that it was unnecessary.
Oliver Ellsworth, a delegate from Connecticut, said "there was no lawyer, no civilian who would not say that ex post facto laws were void in themselves" and James Wilson, a delegate from Pennsylvania, was literally embarrassed at the thought of what other nations would think if the Constitution made explicit something so obvious. He said he was "against inserting anything in the Constitution as to ex post facto laws. It will bring reflexions on the Constitution—and proclaim that we are ignorant of the first principles of Legislation, or are constituting a Government which will be so."
After ratification of the Constitution, Thomas Jefferson remarked that some state constitutions did not see the need to even mention the prohibition on ex post facto laws because it was so obvious:
The sentiment that ex post facto laws are against natural right, is so strong in the United States, that few, if any, of the State constitutions have failed to proscribe them. The federal constitution indeed interdicts them in criminal cases only; but they are equally unjust in civil as in criminal cases, and the omission of a caution which would have been right, does not justify the doing what is wrong.
However, in Utah, retroactive laws are permitted—the state's constitution notwithstanding—at the explicit direction of the legislature. Under Section 68-3-3 "a provision of the Utah Code is not retroactive, unless the provision is expressly declared to be retroactive." Relying on this statute, a handful of laws include express retroactivity clauses. Typically this is used for clarifying the intent or purpose of a previously passed law or for amending some procedural issue related to a law.
Examples of Utah statutes with retroactivity clauses:
Despite these examples of express retroactivity, it is possible that a law could inadvertently operate retroactively. This typically happens when an amendment to an existing statute changes the way the existing law operates. Typically these changes are largely procedural but could at times be substantive.
One bill this year, HB 416, had it passed, may have had the retroactive effect of removing John Swallow's state retirement benefits. No matter what one thinks of Mr. Swallow, his actions in office, and the current case against him, it is clear that if he is ultimately convicted of offenses likely to be covered by this bill, had it passed, he would have had to forfeit his retirement benefits. Grounds for forfeiture of retirement benefits is a pretty substantive legal issue and was not an original part of Swallow's initial employment agreement upon which he originally relied when entering into an employment arrangement.
The bill would have added 58 lines of new statutory text and created a substantively new rule governing retirement benefits for elected and certain appointed state officials. The bill itself seems generally like a good idea as it conditions the time-based accrual of public retirement benefits on whether an official would have been fireable from an offense committed while in office during that time. Moreover, on its face, the bill was not designed to be retroactive. However, the effect of the bill on Mr. Swallow would have been retroactive as Swallow, upon conviction in the future, would lose retirement accrual and vesting from the date of any related offense for which he might be convicted—an arrangement that did not exist at the time of the offense.
The original bill had neither an express retroactivity clause or an express prohibition on retroactive application. Therefore, the application of this new penalty on Swallow would likely be litigated and ultimately determined by a court. Given the legal precedent in Utah for retroactive laws, Mr. Swallow may have had a decent chance of winning such a challenge.
In Utah, the courts follow the U.S. Supreme Court rule for "ex post facto" laws. This rule comes from the case of Beazell v. Ohio, 269 U.S. 167 (1925) where the Court stated a three part rule that "any statute which [1] punishes as a crime an act previously committed, which was innocent when done, which [2] makes more burdensome the punishment for a crime, after its commission, or which [3] deprives one charged with crime of any defense available according to law at the time when the act was committed, is prohibited as ex post facto."
The Court distinguished between substantive and procedural changes maintaining that mere procedural changes are not prohibited as "ex post facto" but went on to clarify that "just what alterations of procedure will be held to be of sufficient moment to transgress the constitutional prohibition cannot be embraced within a formula or stated in a general proposition. The distinction is one of degree. But the constitutional provision was intended to secure substantial personal rights against arbitrary and oppressive legislation, and not to limit the legislative control of remedies and modes of procedure which do not affect matters of substance."
The Utah Supreme Court has established a similar rule in the case of Docutel Olivetti Corp. v. Dick Brady Systems, Inc., 731 P.2d 475 (Utah 1986). "Procedural statutes enacted subsequent to the initiation of a suit which do not enlarge, eliminate or destroy vested or contractual rights apply not only to future actions, but also to accrued and pending actions as well…whether legislation affects litigation pending when the legislation becomes effective depends on whether the legislation is substantive or procedural." Thus, we learn that those statutes that do "eliminate or destroy a vested or contractual right" may not apply retroactively.
However, this is highly contingent on whether the statute is construed as substantive or procedural. The court addressed this in Wash. Nat. Ins. v. Sherwood Assoc., 795 P.2d 665 (Utah Ct. App. 1990): "substantive law is defined as the positive law which creates, defines and regulates the rights and duties of the parties and which may give rise to a cause for action, as distinguished from adjective law which pertains to and prescribes the practice and procedure or the legal machinery by which the substantive law is determined or made effective."
This analysis is important because courts are careful to ensure that a party's rights at the time of occurrence are protected. In OSI Indus. v. Utah State Tax Comm'n, 860 P.2d 381, 383 (Utah Ct.App.1993) the court said that "as a general rule, a party is entitled to have its rights determined on the basis of the law as it existed at the time of the occurrence, and a later statute or amendment should not be applied retroactively so as to deprive a party of its rights or impose greater liability upon it." The court goes on to cite Docutel in giving exception only in "procedural statutes enacted subsequent to the initiation of a suit which do not enlarge, eliminate, or destroy vested or contractual rights."
This appellate court decision applies the decision of the Utah Supreme Court which ruled against retroactivity in an actual employment rights issue. In Okland Construction Co. v. Industrial Commission, 520 P.2d 208 (Utah 1974): "It is true, as the employer Okland contends: that it is entitled to have its rights determined on the basis of the law as it existed at the time of the occurrence; and that a later statute or amendment should not be applied in a retroactive manner to deprive a party of his rights or impose greater liability upon him. But this principle has no application where the later statute or amendment deals only with clarification or amplification as to how the law should have been understood prior to its enactment. In any event, we revert to consideration of the problem under the statute as it existed at the time of the accident, and without concern as to the later amendment." The importance of a party's rights at the time of the occurrence is important because it is those rights upon which an individual relies in making decisions. The Utah Supreme Court echoed this in Stephens v. Henderson, 741 P. 2d 952 (Utah 1987): "the application of a statute is retroactive if it alters the substantive law on which the parties relied."
Taken together, the case law in Utah suggests that in the event that this proposed law to forfeit retirement funds for an offense or occurrence in the past—an occurrence that at the time would not have resulted in the substantive forfeiture of retirement benefits—would be considered a retroactive law and, without an express retroactive clause in the enabling bill, it would likely be struck down by the courts. However, the more important question is whether retroactive laws ought to exist or can exist under the Utah Constitution at all.
Interestingly, the Utah Supreme Court once upheld a retroactive excise tax on diesel fuel under the reasoning that the prohibition on ex post facto laws only applied to criminal matters. In Garrett Freight Lines, Inc. v. State Tax Comm'n, 103 Utah 390, 135 P.2d 523 (1943), the court said that "neither the Federal Constitution nor the Utah Constitution has any provision in terms prohibiting retroactive legislation — excepting that which forbids the enactment of ex post facto laws…That clause relates to criminal or penal matters and does not affect legislation such as the statute here involved [excise tax on diesel fuel]." The court went on to reflect that "some of the states have constitutional provisions which expressly forbid retrospective legislation but in the absence of such provisions in the Constitution a tax measure with a retroactive feature such as the provision here attacked is not invalid."
By narrowing the prohibition on ex post facto laws to criminal matters only, the court seems to violate that principle Thomas Jefferson articulated about the "omission of a caution which would have been right, does not justify the doing what is wrong." In Utah, it appears that the court reads the prohibition on ex post facto laws narrowly based on persuasive precedent in other jurisdictions that confine the prohibition to criminal matters only. This is despite the fact that the state Constitution contains no such narrowing. Thus, while the legislature has bound itself to only allowing retroactive laws when expressly articulated in a bill, such laws seem to be permitted despite the constitutional provision against ex post facto laws.
While this leaves open the possibility that a civil statute might be upheld in its retroactive application, the court has shown restraint in applying statutes retroactively when individuals would be impacted by their previous justifiable reliance on the existing law at the time of their actions. In Van Dyke v. Chappell, 818 P.2d 1023 (Utah 1991), the court explained that "in making this determination, we look to the impact retroactive application would have on those affected. When we conclude that there has been justifiable reliance on the prior state of the law or that the retroactive operation of the new law may otherwise create an undue burden, the court may order that a decision apply only prospectively."
While it is heartening that the court may use its discretion to resist "doing what is wrong" by ordering a law to apply only prospectively, it seems that the very possibility that a civil law could apply retroactively in Utah at all violates that fundamental principle of law the founders felt would make such laws "void in themselves."
We must ask ourselves if "we are ignorant of the first principles of Legislation," as James Wilson feared.]]>
The authors of the study write that "the risk of marijuana use in states before passing medical marijuana laws did not differ significantly from the risk after medical marijuana laws were passed." The study finds that states with higher rates of teenage marijuana use before enacting their medical programs into law were unaffected by the new legal framework.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 40% of adolescents nationwide have tried marijuana at one or more times in their life. In Utah, that number is only 20%. As the new study indicates, based on indicators from over 20 other states, this number is unlikely to rise if Utah's legislature allows a medical cannabis program.
While a slight uptick in teen use would not have justified denying sick Utahns the medical treatment they need, it is nevertheless a welcome development to have findings indicating that this concern—shared by some Utah legislators—is resolved.]]>
Studies in Rialto, California, and elsewhere have shown the benefits of body camera programs—including significant reductions in use of force incidents. For this reason, many police departments are adopting the use of this new technology. The cameras not only help bring transparency and accountability for police actions, but more often than not, they show the good work officers do and frequently exonerate officers against false complaints. Camera footage can also be used as evidence in criminal proceedings and is more reliable than any one officer's or witness' memory of events. However, cameras also pose a number of unique challenges. These challenges mean that policies governing the use of cameras need to be well thought out, well written, and enforceable to ensure that cameras are used effectively and in a manner that protect the rights of all involved.
Libertas Institute has put in hundreds of man hours behind the scenes in an ongoing effort to develop and implement such policies in Utah. While the potential benefits of cameras are clear, we do not favor an approach that mandates all departments use them; implementation is very costly. The public budgets that govern police expenditures should control the decision-making process for each department. However, the inevitability is that law enforcement agencies see the immense value of cameras and adopt their use in the absence of a mandate to do so. As this has happened in recent years, the policies that govern the use of body cameras vary from department to department. While this might be reasonable for policies governing other equipment like vehicles or handcuffs, when the privacy rights of all Utahns are at stake—and when officers are often, if not primarily, enforcing state laws—it becomes a state issue.
Last year, we issued open records requests to departments we had identified as using body cameras, seeking copies of their policies governing their use. The results were varied and worrisome: several departments used a model policy language that they had effectively copied and pasted; many departments had no policy, despite operating body cameras in the field; a couple departments' policies fit on a single page; and every department that had a policy did not include accountability provisions and adequate protections for the citizens being recorded.
Inconsistency between local policies, in the absence of statewide minimum standards, could yield drastically different results for the collection of evidence, the understanding of the public, and for privacy. For example, if officers in one jurisdiction have total discretion over when to record and when not to record, the public would have no reasonable notice of whether or not they were being recorded; five miles to the east, in another jurisdiction, the public might believe that all law enforcement encounters are recorded because of their department's policy. This might also lead to individuals believing evidence was collected when it was in fact not, thereby creating significant consequences during legal proceedings.
The impact of camera footage as evidence in legal proceedings cannot be understated. Video recordings have immense evidentiary value and thus the rules governing when recordings are made become very important. A significant and yet highly nuanced legal problem is how to apply the principle of evidence tampering to camera footage that was not collected in the first place due to an officer's failure to record. While camera recordings would be considered evidence, and the unauthorized deletion or alteration of footage would be subject to rules regarding evidence spoliation or destruction, such evidentiary rules may not apply to cases where evidence was not collected in the first place through the selective recording of an event in violation of department protocol. Such a possibility could have dire consequences for a criminal defendant who wanted to raise a defense predicated upon events that should have been captured but were not.
We saw a similar situation in the case of Lisa Steed, a Utah Highway Patrol trooper who was turning off her microphone to avoid capturing her comments when she was violating DUI stop protocols. The issue in this scenario is not about whether state law should mandate punishment on an officer for negligence in recording, or even the creation of a civil suit against a department, but rather an issue of how state policy might protect the rights of the accused during a defendant's legal proceeding when evidence against them is selectively collected. Libertas Institute, in collaboration with ACLU Utah and the Utah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, proposed a solution to this problem that was incorporated into last year's unsuccessful body camera bill.
The solution was to find a way to apply a similar approach as a court would apply in the case of spoliation of evidence, namely, an inference in favor of the defendant or party who was harmed by the destruction of the evidence. The bill called this a "rebuttable presumption." This means that the court would presume that the footage that would have been recorded (but was not) would have captured something beneficial to the defendant's case. This presumption would be rebuttable, because other evidence could counter the presumption. However, in the absence of rebutting counter evidence, the court should view the existing evidence (or lack thereof) in favor of the defendant for that particular issue.
This approach strikes the right balance in protecting the rights of the accused from negligent or purposeful misuse of body cameras without necessarily creating any particular state sanction on officers who make a good faith mistake. While this seemed like a reasonable balance that was not aimed at indicting the character of police, some in the police lobby unfortunately felt this item was a deal breaker. In fact, some suggested that if the state were to impose such a rule that police departments currently using cameras may choose to end the use of their body cameras altogether rather than continue with an accountability mechanism like this. Much of this negative response may have been based on the perception that this provision was meant to harm or indict officers in some way, when in reality it was meant merely as a protection of the rights of a defendant with no direct implication for the involved officer.
Another critical issue to the use of body worn cameras is privacy. Body cameras represent a potentially advanced form of surveillance as a body camera can go into homes and other private areas an officer may go on foot that they would never go in a police car, where a dash camera is currently used. When camera footage is gathered at this level of granularity it is important that the reasonable expectations of privacy by the public are protected. This means that secure storage and limited retention of footage not pertinent to ongoing investigations is critical. All Utahns should have the same right to privacy in these recordings despite the jurisdiction they are stopped in. This is why statewide minimum standards are important for governing retention schedules and disclosure rules for camera footage.
We believe the body camera legislation now being discussed is a good one and does a good job of balancing most of these critical issues. The bill does not mandate law enforcement agencies to use body cameras. However, for those agencies that do utilize cameras, the bill sets minimum standards across the state to follow when equipping officers with these devices. Provisions include guidance for when cameras must be turned on, how footage is to be used, and how recordings are to be retained and disclosed. The bill seeks to strike a balance between the needs of law enforcement and the rights of the public.
Key provisions include:
We urge the legislature to think carefully about these issues and to ensure that the implementation of body camera programs in Utah comply with best practices in a way that protects the privacy and other rights of Utahns. Statewide minimum standards can provide that assurance in a way that individual policies may not.]]>
The following is in response to a recent post that appeared on Utah Poverty News, entitled: "On the issue of Medicaid expansion, like so many things, we can't go back to 1964."
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to recent points and to clarify why Medicaid expansion is so worrisome a path for Utah to follow. In a humorous critique of our recent letter opposing Medicaid expansion, proponents of Medicaid expansion imply that our opposition is misplaced and that we would have to go back in time to 1964 when Medicaid was first started to fix our frustrations. This is not so. Medicaid expansion on its face represents significant federal micromanagement in state health care policy and has proved disastrous for many states. The line from The Supremes' 1964 hit "Where did our love go," referenced above, describes the problems already being felt by Medicaid expansion in some states. The promises from Washington were rosy and "tender" as they penetrated the "burning" hearts of state lawmakers around the country, but the result of implementation has, "like a bee," stung state budgets and the truly needy.
At least 7 of the 29 expansion states have experienced cost overruns as enrollment projections were vastly under-predicted. More troubling is the way in which expansion has left state programs strapped for cash and unable to provide critical care to those most medically needy. Moreover, as more enrollees seek care from a limited pool of doctors that accept Medicaid, needy patients will find themselves further and further down the waiting list for actual care. While the temptations of rosy feelings of love for a program that promised so much for so little led states to expand, the fiscal and economic realities for these states have ruled supreme and couldn't "get us" or "make us love" it in the end.
The critique of our letter ridicules our request for lawmakers to "find a way out from under Washington, D.C.'s thumb" by claiming we need to go back to 1964 to reverse the decision to enact Medicaid in the first place. However, expansion under Obamacare is not the Medicaid of 1964. The original plan gave states the power to administer the program with flexibility to structure eligibility and benefits how they saw fit.
Medicaid expansion under Obamacare prescribes many of the particulars in how Utah can expand Medicaid. It is not the case that Medicaid funds are given as block grants (as has been claimed by some in Congress, including Utah Senator Orrin Hatch) to the states to best solve the problems of health care for the needy in their states based on their unique circumstances. Instead, the federal government is micromanaging how the program itself is structured and administered.
Utah must seek a flexibility waiver from the administration in order to expand Medicaid in a way different from the prescribed one-size-fits-all method under Obamacare. This is a quintessential example of being "under D.C.'s thumb."
The Governor early on, and now the "Gang of Six," have all had to travel to D.C., hat in hand, to negotiate and plead for flexibility to spend dollars allocated to Utah our own way. This hampers Utah's ability to decide the best way to help the needy under a "state-based" expansion of the Medicaid program, as opposed to the way mandated under Obamacare. To say that those who think this is a heavy-handed Washington D.C.-centric approach want to "go back to 1964″ misses the fundamental problem of Obamacare: federal micromanagement of programs and regulations that were originally sold as being "state-based." This is indicative of the entire health care law and its top-down approach.
The Poverty News post also states, "Since then [1965], the federal government has provided most of the money used to pay for healthcare services for vulnerable Americans."
The federal government does not have its own money. This might only be true when the federal government essentially prints its own spending money, monetizes federal debt, or perhaps issues new debt. Otherwise, the federal government gets its "money" from the people of the states. Make no mistake: the "money" for Medicaid, both in 1964 and now, is from the people of Utah—confiscated through federal taxes and then sent back (minus a sizable chunk for the middlemen) to states with strings attached that govern how it is to be spent. It is not a magnanimous gift from the President. It does not grow on a magical federal money tree. It is simply the funneling of hard-earned dollars, taken through taxation, being spent at the direction of lawmakers and bureaucrats thousands of miles away. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there—many of these dollars will be our children and grandchildren's hard-earned dollars as well.
Utah lawmakers can get out from under the "thumb" of D.C. by refusing to take the expansion dollars and finding a solution that doesn't require dancing at the end of Obamacare's strings. "Frail Utah" was one such alternative. Another is to highlight publicly exactly what is being said by the administration in regards to granting a flexibility waiver. Bring some needed transparency to the "most transparent" White House in history and let America know exactly how Obamacare dictates terms to states using the dollars of the people of those states as a club. Moreover, if Utah gets a flexibility waiver, it must get one only on the very best terms possible based on all previous states and current negotiations with Virginia. Cost-sharing, work requirements, and other truly state-based solutions should all be on the table. From our understanding, the "thumb" of D.C. is not open to these items.
Dear Obamacare: unlike the beats of Motown, your dictates and implementation have not been smooth and enjoyable. For states in your wake, it has been more of a woe-town experience.]]>

About me***** I really liked this book. If it is fiction, it grabbed me and kept me. If it is non-fiction, I found it to be helpful in its field, thought provoking, and probably a good resource.

We learned quite a bit about Salzburg and its history, as well as information and settings for the film. I remember when I saw the Sound of Music years ago, I loved the music. Well, and the love story of course. In recent years, when Mom was still with us, and in her house - the movie happened to be on TV on New Year's Day. Not sure why, as ...

One of our stops was Hellbrun Palace, and had a wee look at the grounds and the gazebo from the Sound of Music. I will see more from that bit of pop culture and history later today, as I am going on the Sound of Music tour. I had to do it.

The charm of European cities is that nothing is on a grid, and that served to get me lost first thing in the morning while I wandered the exact opposite direction for about half and hour. I saw a wee cafe and zipped in for a cappuccino (delightfully made with almond milk; and it was impressive) to check my map and see where I made my navigation faux pas. Once I realized how close the pedestrian street called Linzer Gasse was to my origin, I was ...

The rain got heavier so I put on my rain poncho and kept on walking. This path was much easier than the ones I took on Day 1 which made me wonder if I'd really taken the wrong tracks on the first day and got myself so ...
I left my heart in Salzburg.. for now

Chiefs GM and former Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli, in an appearance on The Big Show, said that criticism of the draft and player personnel record of Patriots coach Bill Belichick was "ridiculous." While some of Belichick's player moves have come under scrutiny in the years since Pioli left New England for the Chiefs after the 2008 season, the architect of the Chiefs -- who spent 16 years working with Belichick in the NFL -- said that Belichick remains the best coach in the NFL and that the Patriots front office continues to assemble strong groups.
"I haven't paid attention to it but I just think it's ridiculous, quite honestly," Pioli said of such criticism. "The reality is Bill's done a great job with that football team. Bill does a great job with personnel."
"What happened dring our time here together for the nine years was special. ... A lot of things came together, the alignment of a lot of things: ownership, coaching, players and all the other people," he added. "It's inevitable that things are going to change. I'm not sure why Patriots fans are disillusioned at different times, because they're gong to be in the hunt every year. They still have great ownership, they still have the best coach in the NFL and there's a lot of good people there that are finding players. It's still a special place. Don't worry, Patriots fans."
Pioli, who will be returning to Gillette Stadium for the first time in his three seasons with the Chiefs, said that the Monday Night game in Foxboro will result in "a lot of mixed emotions. It's going to be a business trip, [but] ... I know for me, it will be impossible for me to remain unaffected emotionally by seeing those people, going back into Gillette Stadium."

ABC Ignores Tim Scott's Senate Appointment in Dec., By Jan. Hails Mo Cowan's as 'History'
In December, ABC's World News saw no news at all in the historic appointment of African American Tim Scott to the Senate in South Carolina. No mention was made of it during the broadcast.
Only a month later, though, the same program suddenly hailed African American William "Mo" Cowan's appointment to the Senate as history making.
When Republican Tim Scott was appointed to fill retiring Senator Jim DeMint's Senate seat he became the first African American from South Carolina to be sent to the Senate since 1881. Further, when he took his seat he was the only black Senator from either party in Washington D.C. But despite all these notable historic facts, ABC's World News never mentioned Scott's appointment.
However, this month when the Governor of Massachusetts appointed African American, Democrat Mo Cowan to finish out John Kerry's term, ABC suddenly found it to be a moment worthy of coverage.
During the January 30 broadcast of World News, anchor Dianne Sawyer was effusive over Cowan's appointment.
And there's another note out of Washington tonight. Look closely at this picture. That is William 'Mo' Cowan of Massachusetts. He will be heading to Washington, DC soon and straight into the history books. He will take over the Senate seat of the new Secretary of State, John Kerry. And that means, for the first time in America's 236-year history, we will have two African-American Senators serving at one time in the Senate. The other is Tim Scott of South Carolina.
To recap, the first African American wasn't news worthy enough to mention, but the second African American is history making.
As to the other two networks, Brent Baker notes that CBS Evening News ignored both appointments
