Petitions Relisted for the Next Conference
|Case Page
|Elmore v. Holbrook
|(1) Whether capital defense counsel may decide to present evidence of a single mitigating factor without having first conducted a thorough investigation of other potential mitigating factors and whether counsel's post-hoc concern about possible rebuttal evidence justifies the failure to investigate; and (2) whether, where a state court provides a reasoned decision denying relief, 18 U.S.C. § 2254(d) permits a federal court to ignore the reasoning of the state court and substitute its own reasons for denying relief and whether the violent nature of the crime lessens the prejudice from unconstitutional shackling.
Petitions Featured as Petition of the Day
|Case Page
|Chase v. Mississippi
|(1) Whether it violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, as understood in Atkins v. Virginia and Hall v. Florida, for a State court to refuse to accept data from clinical interviews with persons who knew a death-sentenced prisoner during the "developmental period" where the uncontested testimony and scientific and clinical consensus finds such data to be useful in determining the second criteria for intellectual disability, i.e., adaptive functioning deficits; (2) whether it violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, as understood in Atkins and Hall, for a State court to impose a requirement that a death-sentenced prisoner present "normed data" from clinical instruments in order to prove the second criteria for intellectual disability under Atkins; and (3) whether it violates the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause for a State court to create a novel requirement that a death-sentenced prisoner present "normed data" from clinical instruments in order to prove the second criteria for intellectual disability under Atkins, and impose that requirement to deny relief to a prisoner who had no notice of the requirement during his evidentiary hearing.
|Meshal v. Higgenbotham
|Whether a U.S. citizen may bring a Bivens claim in the absence of any other remedy when federal law enforcement officers unlawfully detain and grossly mistreat him during a criminal counterterrorism investigation abroad.
|The Bank of New York Mellon v. American Fidelity Assurance Co.
|Whether, under this Court's decision in Daimler AG v. Bauman, personal jurisdiction may be asserted over a corporate defendant only in the defendant's place of incorporation or principal place of business, except in extraordinary circumstances.
|Schulman v. LexisNexis Risk and Information Analytics Group
|Whether, in a class action settlement providing injunctive relief not authorized by statute and releasing or impairing the money-damages claims of absent or objecting members, class certification under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(2) and the denial of the right to opt out as to the damages claims violate Rule 23 or the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
|Kreipke v. Wayne State University
|(1) Whether Wayne State University (WSU), a unique, autonomous institution, free from all relevant state control, who receives a minority share of its funding from the State, and who is responsible for its own debts, is a "person" under the False Claims Act (FCA); and (2) whether WSU's Board of Governors, a creation of the State and a properly formed corporation in every respect, is a "person" under the FCA.
|Mech v. School Board of Palm Beach County
|Whether the decision in Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc. allows the government to place an imprimatur on private advertising and thereby render the advertisement government speech, stripping it of all First Amendment protection.
|New Mexico Association of Nonpublic Schools v. Moses
|Whether applying a Blaine Amendment to exclude religious organizations from a state textbook lending program violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
|Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. v. Haeger
|(1) Whether a federal court is required to tailor compensatory civil sanctions imposed under inherent powers to harm directly caused by sanctionable misconduct when the court does not afford sanctioned parties the protections of criminal due process; and (2) whether a court may award attorneys' fees under its inherent powers as sanctions against a client for actions by its attorney that are not fairly attributable to the client's own subjective bad faith.
|Principal Investments v. Harrison
|(1) Whether, given "the presumption . . . that the arbitrator should decide 'allegations of waiver,'" Howsam v. Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc., a court violates the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) by presuming that allegations of waiver based upon a party's pre-arbitration litigation conduct should be decided by the court, not the arbitrator; and (2) whether, in light of the holding in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, that "[w]hen state law prohibits outright the arbitration of a particular type of claim, the . . . conflicting rule is displaced by the FAA," the FAA preempts a state's waiver doctrine that categorically prohibits arbitration of abuse-of-process claims arising from prior litigation.
|Robinson v. North Carolina
|Whether, given that the state law's designated trier of fact concluded that the four petitioners were each ineligible for the death penalty under the state law, the state supreme court erred under the Double Jeopardy Clause as explained in Bullington v. Missouri, by remanding for further proceedings that could expose petitioners to the death penalty.
|Anderson v. Carter
|(1) Whether a sufficiently tangible and concrete reputational injury meets the "collateral consequences" exception to the mootness doctrine, Carafas v. LaVallee; and (2) if this case is not moot, whether Petitioner failed to plead a cause of action for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment simply because he never used the word "retaliation" in his pro se Complaint.
|NCAA v. O'Bannon
|(1) Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in holding that NCAA rules defining "the eligibility of participants" in NCAA-sponsored athletic contests, NCAA v. Board of Regents of Univ. of Okla., violated the Sherman Act; and (2) whether the First Amendment protects a speaker against a state-law right-of-publicity claim based on the realistic portrayal of a person in an expressive work (here, a student-athlete in a college-sports videogame).
|Jones v. Hardwick
|(1) Whether the Eleventh Circuit may reject the state court's findings of fact under Anderson v. Bessemer City, where the defendant's post conviction hearing was full and fair and the findings were not clearly erroneous; (2) whether, in granting habeas corpus relief to a state prisoner under pre-Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, the Eleventh Circuit impermissibly relieved the defendant of his burden of proof under Strickland v. Washington; (3) whether the Eleventh Circuit may grant habeas relief under Strickland not withstanding that (a) the defendant waived presentation of mitigation and impeded counsel's attempts to do so, or (b) the evidence the defendant claims should have been presented was either not available, not credible, or not mitigating; and (4) whether Schriro v. Landrigan requires denial of Hardwick's habeas claim where counsel's unchallenged and credible testimony was that his client instructed him not to present any evidence in mitigation.
|Sousa v. Branch Banking and Trust Company
|(1) Whether NRS §40.459(1)(c), which limits the amount of a deficiency judgment that a person seeking the judgment can recover if that person acquired the right to obtain the deficiency judgment from a person who had that right is preempted by the Financial Institutions and Recovery of 1989 because the notes or mortgages in question were acquired from the Federal Deposit and Insurance Corporation; and (2) whether the NRS §40.459(1)(c) limitations on deficiency claims violate the Contract Clause of the U.S. and/or Nevada Constitutions when the notes or mortgages in question were acquired by a Third Party Purchaser prior to the effective date of the statute.
|Ziglar v. Turkmen
|(1) Whether the Court of Appeals, in finding that Respondents' Fifth Amendment claims did not arise in a "new context" for purposes of implying a remedy under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, erred by defining "context" at too high a level of generality where Respondents challenge the actions taken in the immediate aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001 regarding the detention of persons illegally in the United States whom the FBI had arrested in connection with its investigation of the September 11 attacks, thereby implicating concerns regarding national security, immigration, and the separation of powers; (2) whether the Court of Appeals, in denying qualified immunity to Petitioner Ziglar erred: (A) by failing to focus on the specific context of the case to determine whether the violative nature of Mr. Ziglar's specific conduct was at the time clearly established, instead defining the "established law" at the high level of generality that this Court has warned against; and (B) by finding that even though the applicability of 42 U.S.C. § 1985(3) to the actions of federal officials like Petitioner Ziglar was not clearly established at the time in question, Respondents nevertheless could maintain a § 1985(3) claim against him so long as his conduct violated some other clearly established law; and (3) whether the Court of Appeals erred in finding that Respondents' Fourth Amended Complaint met the pleading requirements of Ashcroft v. Iqbal , and related cases, because that complaint relied on allegations of hypothetical possibilities, conclusional assumptions, and unsupported insinuations of discriminatory intent that, at best, are merely consistent with Petitioner Ziglar's liability, but fall short of stating plausible claims.
|GEICO General Insurance Co. v. Calderon
|(1) Whether insurance fraud investigators are covered by the administrative exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act's overtime-pay requirement, 29 U.S.C. § 213(a), as the Sixth Circuit has held in conflict with the Fourth Circuit's judgment below; and (2) whether an exemption to the Fair Labor Standard Act's overtime-pay requirement must be narrowly construed and established by clear-and-convincing evidence, as the Fourth Circuit held, in conflict with fundamental principles of statutory construction and the decisions of every other court of appeals.
|Ali v. Warfaa
|Whether a foreign official's common-law immunity for acts performed on behalf of a foreign state is abrogated by plaintiff's allegations that those official acts violated jus cogens norms of international law.
|Air Liquide Industrial U.S. LP v. Garrido
|(1) Whether the California Court of Appeal erred by holding, in direct conflict with DirectTV v. Imburgia, that the parties' agreement to apply the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") to govern their arbitration contract was unenforceable because the FAA's transportation worker exemption applied; and (2) whether the California Court of Appeal erred by holding, in direct conflict with the Second, Eighth, and Eleventh Circuits, that an employee was exempt from the FAA as a "transportation worker" even though he was not employed in the transportation industry.
|MCM Portfolio LLC v. Hewlett-Packard Company
|(1) Whether inter partes review (IPR) violates Article III of the Constitution; and (2) whether IPR violates the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution.
|Vanessa G. v. Tennessee Dep't of Children's Services
|Whether the right to counsel in a termination of parental rights proceeding includes the right to the effective assistance of counsel.
|BeavEx Inc. v. Costello
|Whether the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act preempts generally-applicable state laws that force motor carriers to treat and pay all drivers as "employees" rather than as independent contractors.
|Hartley v. Sanchez
|Whether individual detectives and an investigator are entitled to qualified immunity from a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim for malicious prosecution based on allegations they knew or should have known the criminal suspect had cognitive limitations making his confession to a crime untrustworthy and not appropriately relied upon by law enforcement to support his arrest.
|Akbar v. U.S.
|Whether it violates the constitutional separation-of-powers or exceeds statutory authority for the President, rather than Congress, to prescribe the aggravating-factor elements that permit a court-martial to impose a death sentence on a member of the armed forces.
|McLane Co. v. EEOC
|(1) Whether a district court's decision to quash or enforce an EEOC subpoena should be reviewed de novo, which only the Ninth Circuit does, or should be reviewed deferentially, which eight other circuits do, consistent with this Court's precedents concerning the choice of standards of review; and (2) whether the Ninth Circuit's decision to enforce an EEOC subpoena, depending upon a notion of relevance so broad that it effectively abrogates statutory limits on the EEOC's investigative powers, conflicts with EEOC v. Shell Oil and the holdings of at least three other circuits.
|Shanahan v. Lora
|(1) Whether criminal and terrorist aliens who are subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) must be afforded bond hearings, with the possibility of release, if detention lasts six months; and (2) whether, in any such bond hearing, the criminal or terrorist alien is entitled to release unless the government demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that he is a flight risk or a danger to the community.
|Hebert v. U.S.
|(1) Whether petitioner's 92-year sentence for nonviolent fraud offenses causing $16,000 in loss is unconstitutional, where, as the government and court of appeals each acknowledged below, the sentence would be substantively unreasonable, and therefore unlawful, but for the district judge's contested murder finding; and (2) whether a criminal defendant's Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to a jury place any constraints on an appellate court's ability to use judicial-found facts as the basis to affirm the substantive reasonableness, and therefore the lawfulness, of the defendant's sentence, a question this Court acknowledged but postponed answering in Rita v. United States.
|O'Bannon v. NCAA
|(1) Whether, in determining an appropriate remedy for a violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act under the "Rule of Reason," a court may treat the restraint itself – here, the agreement among the NCAA and its members prohibiting college athlete compensation, or what the NCAA calls "amateurism" – as a legitimate procompetitive effect: and (2) whether, after finding a violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act under the Rule of Reason, a court is restricted to awarding relief that the plaintiff proves is "virtually as effective" as the restraint in serving its alleged purposes, "without significantly increased cost."
|West Virginia Dep't of Health and Human Resources v. E.H.
|(1) Whether a court may abdicate to a state executive agency its duty under the Supremacy Clause to determine whether state law has been preempted; and (2) whether the Privacy Rule, which forbids the disclosure of a patient's records without patient authorization, preempts West Virginia state law, which requires the disclosure of patient records without patient authorization.
|H. v. California
|(1) Whether a ten-year-old child in a custodial interrogation can give a voluntary, knowing and intelligent waiver of his rights against self-incrimination and to legal counsel in a criminal case, without further constitutional protections such as mandatory access to legal counsel or an unconflicted adult guardian; (2) whether the presence of petitioner's conflicted stepmother during his interrogation tainted his purported waiver; and (3) whether petitioner voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently waived his rights under the circumstances.
|Cooper v. Lee
|Whether 35 U.S.C. § 318(b) violates Article III of the United States Constitution, to the extent that it empowers an executive agency tribunal to assert judicial power canceling private property rights amongst private parties embroiled in a private federal dispute of a type known in the common law courts of 1789, rather than merely issue an advisory opinion as an adjunct to a trial court.
|Hernández v. Mesa
|(1) Whether a formalist or functionalist analysis governs the extraterritorial application of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unjustified deadly force, as applied to a cross-border shooting of an unarmed Mexican citizen in an enclosed area controlled by the United States; and (2) whether qualified immunity may be granted or denied based on facts – such as the victim's legal status – unknown to the officer at the time of the incident. CVSG: 03/01/2016.
Calls for the Views of the Solicitor General
|Case Page
|Impression Products v. Lexmark Int'l
|(1) Whether a "conditional sale" that transfers title to the patented item while specifying post-sale restrictions on the article's use or resale avoids application of the patent exhaustion doctrine and therefore permits the enforcement of such post-sale restrictions through the patent law's infringement remedy; and (2) whether, in light of this Court's holding in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. that the common law doctrine barring restraints on alienation that is the basis of exhaustion doctrine "makes no geographical distinctions," a sale of a patented article – authorized by the U.S. patentee – that takes place outside of the United States exhausts the U.S. patent rights in that article.
|SmithKline Beecham Corp. v. King Drug Co. of Florence
|Whether the Third Circuit's sweeping holding that a patentee's grant of an exclusive license must undergo antitrust scrutiny by courts and juries - even though such a license is specifically permitted under the patent laws - is inconsistent with this Court's decision in FTC v. Actavis and decades of this Court's earlier precedents.
|Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency v. U.S. ex rel. Oberg
|Whether the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, a statewide agency located in the capital and unambiguously treated as an arm of the state by Pennsylvania, is an arm of Pennsylvania for purposes of federal law, or is instead an "independent political subdivision" as determined by the Fourth Circuit and its multifactor balancing test.
|Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency v. Pele
|Whether the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, a statewide agency located in the capital and unambiguously treated as an arm of the state by Pennsylvania, is an arm of Pennsylvania for purposes of federal law, or is instead an "independent political subdivision" as determined by the Fourth Circuit and its multifactor balancing test.
|Howell v. Howell
|Whether the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act preempts a state court's order directing a veteran to indemnify a former spouse for a reduction in the former spouse's portion of the veteran's military retirement pay, where that reduction results from the veteran's post-divorce waiver of retirement pay in order to receive compensation for a service-connected disability.
|Belize v. Belize Social Development Ltd.
|(1) Whether, under the doctrine of forum non conveniens, as applied to the New York Convention by Article III, a foreign forum is per se inadequate because specific assets in the United States cannot be attached by a foreign court, as the D.C. Circuit has held, or whether it is adequate if it has jurisdiction and some attachable assets, as the Second Circuit held; and (2) whether, under Article V(2)(b) of the New York Convention, the public policy in favor of arbitration yields where confirmation of an arbitral award would be contrary to countervailing public policies, such as those grounded in constitutional separation of powers principles, combating government corruption and/or international comity.
|Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District
|What is the level of educational benefit that school districts must confer on children with disabilities to provide them with the free appropriate public education guaranteed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Maybe you missed the story, an exclusive from the website Hammer In The News. It revealed that the venerable Crowbar restaurant, on Barton East across from the jail, was changing its name.
Farley Hammerton interviewed Barton Village BIA president Jerry Canelli, who welcomed the change. He said the old Crowbar name has been holding the area back: "You have a restaurant that just screams 'hug-a-thug.' That doesn't belong on trendy Barton Street."
Fortunately, while the stories at Hammer In The News are always entertaining, they're never true. The Crowbar lives on.
We have noticed some changes there. There's scaffolding up, and the old place is getting a new paint job. We really should stop in. But first, we need a little history.
Margaret Houghton, She Who Knows All at the library's Local History and Archives department, rustles up the past for us. In the 1940s, it was a shoe store there at the corner of Barton and Elgin. In the 1950s, Gioia's Restaurant. Bette's Lunch in the 1960s. Marie's Lunch in the early 1970s.
In 1976, the Crowbar restaurant shows up for the first time in the Vernon's city directory. That's just about the time they were building the new Barton Street Hilton, to replace the old jail.
From Crowbar to cookies
The first proprietor linked to the Crowbar looks to be Albert Lenis. But he didn't stay long, went off to sell cookies for Voortman's.
The golden years began in 1980, when a guy from Nairobi named Jim Litt ran the Crowbar with wife Sally. Open 24 hours, green-vinyl booths, jukebox, great toasted westerns, $1.95 breakfast day or night.
The restaurant shared a name with a legendary Hamilton band, the one that scored a big hit in 1971 with "Oh, What a Feeling." The Spectator interviewed Crowbar frontman Kelly Jay in 1985, and he had something to say about the landmark on Barton:
"It's where all the roadies and all the cabbies and all the movers and shakers, people with mink coats and all the elite go. The food is really good, really cheap and Jim's a groovy guy and everything is really cozy."
But by the mid 1990s, Jim was gone.
Time for us to stop by. We notice, on the way in ,that the sign now says the New Crowbar Restaurant.
Maria came young
The old booths are long gone. Behind the bar, there is a young woman named Maria Carvalho. She is 30 and came to Canada when she was 18.
Home was Sete Cidaades, a village on Portugal's Azores, a cluster of islands 1,500 kilometres out into the Atlantic. Maria lived in a small stone house with her parents, her grandmother, her sisters and brother.
Maria went to school until she was 14. Then there was an accident. For an annual festival, the pig was roasted. The fat was moved to a large pot, which grandmother placed on the kitchen floor. Maria's four-year-old sister tumbled into the scalding-hot fat.
Maria's mother had to take the sister to Lisbon for treatment for half a year. And Maria had to quit school and look after the family.
Later she got a job as a bartender in the next town over. And in walked Tony Amaral. He was from there, but had started a new life in Hamilton. He told Maria things were good here.
"So I thought, I'm going to see if he's right." After all, she did like Tony. He sent her a plane ticket and she arrived here on Aug. 28, 2002.
No nonsense please
She and Tony now live in the North End, and have a son and a daughter. Tony is in construction. Maria used to do cleaning at night at the Royal Bank.
But six years ago, they took over the Crowbar. Maria already knew how to cook. She does big stews like they made at home. She already knew how to tend bar too. And, though young, she knew how to handle people.
Most of the customers are Portuguese, who order stew, or an espresso or a shot of Macieira brandy. "But English people can come too, as long as they behave," Maria says. "I don't want no fights, no drunks."
Every now and then, she says, somebody who's been doing time across the street comes through the door in prison orange. An escapee? Maria wasn't sure what to think.
"One guy said to me, 'I just got out and I want to have a beer. I'm sorry if I scared you.'"
Another who arrived wearing orange said he really didn't want to be walking around in that outfit. "Sometimes the breweries drop off T-shirts," Maria says. "So we gave him one that said Cool Beer. He said, 'Oh, thank you.' It was nice."

MOSCOW, January 29. /TASS/. The significance of the Dutch referendum on the ratification of the European Union's association agreement with Ukraine should not be underestimated, Russia's Permanent Representative at the European Union Vladimir Chizhov said on Friday.
"The Dutch government is seeking to put a good face on I would not say what," he said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 television channel. "It is obviously not the right time for them, bearing in mind that the Netherlands' six-month presidency in the European Union Council started from January 1."
"But they have no other option," the Russian diplomat noted. "This will be the first instance of the implementation of the country's recently adopted law on the procedure of such referendums. They tell us nothing will change, that the results of the Dutch poll matter nothing because this referendum is not binding, it is a sort of recommendatory, etc."
In this connection, he reminded that the 2005 Dutch referendum on the European constitution was of the same character. "It [the referendum] was also non-binding but what did it end up in? The constitution was re-written to become a pale imitation the Lisbon agreement in fact is," Chizhov said.
"So, I'd recommend analysts to know better than to forecast the outcome," he added.
However he said he did not think the effect of this referendum would show up soon from the point of view of routine practice, including for Russia's interests. "The entire agreement on Ukraine's association with the European Union, including its chapter four, on trade and economic matters, which, as a matter of fact, accounts for about 70% of the text, became effective on a temporary basis," the Russian diplomat said. "But even implemented on a temporary basis, it will create problems for the Russian economy, for our economic ties we had discussed with our partners in the European Commission and Kiev for more than a year."

sangetsu03's past comments
Britain was a world leader centuries before the EU, and, hopefully, will remain so for centuries to come. Britain set the many of the standards which are the foundation of western life, and for the prosperity we enjoy today. Britain can be proud of the things it has accomplished, which are far greater than anything the EU has attempted.
Posted in: Post-Brexit, Britain still torn between nationalism and global leadership
The current Scottish leadership has made it clear that is wants to be independent of the UK, i.e. no longer dominated by English politics and policies, but that it wants to remain under the EU umbrella,
So instead to being dominated by English politics and policies, they can be dominated by EU politics and policies? Scotland is my ancestral homeland, I have a home there, and I am all for an independent Scotland. But being "under the EU umbrella" necessarily requires Scotland to give up a measure of independence for that privilege.
What's more, though Scotland may indeed benefit from being part of the EU, it will also have to suffer the effects of ECB quackery, and carry part of the burden of those other members who consume more from their membership than they contribute to it. If Scotland would like to be one of these latter countries, then by all means join the EU, and milk it for every Euro you can get, but Scotland is less likely to milk than be milked.
The point is: Nothing has been decided and the margin is inconclusive. 700,000 votes aren't a mandate to leave and the process hasn't begun to leave.
How much would it need to be "conclusive"? A majority is a majority, and the UK is a democracy. If the vote had been the other way, and the "leave" camp had lost by 700,000 votes, you would not bring up this issue at all, would you? The decision to leave has been made, and the process was begun before the vote was taken, the vote itself was part of that process.
If you required a super majority to change policy, you would find that policy would never change, as it is extremely rare that two-thirds or three-quarters of politicians or voters ever agree on any matter.
The inherent problems with democracy is that the majority is not always right, and that democracy is extremely easy to corrupt and influence. But the alternatives are weaker still, as all political systems are run by human beings, who are fallible.
Posted in: Turmoil deepens as Scotland threatens to block Brexit; 11 Labour Party members quit
Well which is it? Be independent or stay in EU? By being independent you get to be both independent and in the EU. By forcing England to stay in the EU you don't get independence.
Yes, the irony is obvious. But that is politics; what we wanted yesterday is not what we want today, and what we want tomorrow will not be what we wanted today. At even then, we don't really know what we want; our leaders tend to tell us what we want, and when we want it, pretending that our interests are the same as theirs. But that is very seldom the case.
Posted in: Turmoil deepens as Scotland threatens to block Brexit; 11 Labour Party members quit
America has maintained NATO in this fashion for a reason, and that is to have the loudest voice in NATO policies, and give America the leverage to get other members to do what America wants them to do. The threat of making other members pull more of their own weight is significant, especially in today's economic environment. If America wants NATO support to fight ISIS, or the Taliban, it is more than likely that some of the other members will be a little reluctant to take part, and America will have to twist their arms to get them moving. By requiring other members to carry an equal share of the costs, these other members will have a more equal voice to question America's policies and intentions. The current system exists by unspoken mutual agreement, and Donald Trump would understand that if he knew more about America's fundamental defense strategies.
Really? The sitting president is irrelevant? Lol okay
All presidents in the last half of their last term are "irrelevant", and this goes for the likes of Reagan and Bush as well. In the last 6 months in office, a president does little more than keep the seat warm, and exerts authority only in time of crisis or emergency. Obama is in his last 6 months in office, he cannot formulate, or pass any new policies in the limited time he has. He will play golf, travel, and give speeches, but do little else. By this time he is counting the days to the end of his term like a prison inmate counting down to his release date. He will do as little as possible, and pray that nothing happens which requires any action from him.

Sangetsu: Your are totally wrong about the australian murder rate since the gun hand in. It has drop from over 300 to 250 victims in 2015.
I am not wrong, one year does not a trend make. If you look at the annual average since 1996, there is no change. Tell me what the rates were in 1997, and 1998?

The UK and the politicians have been so focused on the issue of immigration, and they have not thought through the implications on small, medium and large businesses that trade with Europe, and the world. already some of the politicians have started to back peddle on some of the issues IE where some of the money that we give to Europe was ear marked for the NHS, personally I think having this referendum has done us no good and it could put us back into another small recession, money has been wiped of the price of the stock markets, exchange rates have fallen, we have entered uncharted waters with no chance of going back. only time will tell if it was the right decision.
Another recession is unavoidable, regardless of the "Brexit". Money has been wiped off the price of stock markets, but these markets are greatly overvalued to begin with, and their recent high prices are mainly the result of central bank manipulation of interest rates and money supply, and not the result of increased sales or private sector economic activity. Dark times began when the ECB introduced negative rates.
Though it may seem that immigration and smaller issues are the main driver behind the Brexit, there are other reasons which are less obvious. The main of these is reducing the ECB's influence on the UK's financial system. The ECB (along with the BOJ and FED) has enacted increasingly absurd policies which threaten the foundation of our financial and economic systems. The major stock markets are now almost entirely reliant on the central banks for continued growth, growth fueled by zero rates and the printing of more currency. No longer does the stock market rely on the performance of the companies whose stock they trade; a year of record profits or record losses has less influence on a company's stock value than fractional change in interest rates. This is absurd, worse yet, it creates the potential of economic catastrophe the likes we haven't seen since 1929.
Banks no longer derive the greater part of their profits from changing interest on loans, and in order to make money, they have to create ever more exotic investment instruments, and invest in ever riskier ventures. And the current lack of real economic growth means very little return on conventional investments, so the only way they can make money is to play the current stock market, which of course is dependent on the central banks for growth, growth fueled largely by borrowed money, or money created out of thin air, and loaned out at the current low rates.
The UK is wise to remove itself from the direct influence of the clowns running the ECB. And I hope those who are running the banks in the UK do as they historically have, to run their businesses following sound and honest practice. When the economic houses of cards created by central bank policies and government mismanagement collapse around the world, the UK may be the only one left standing.

Bernie needs to stay in for two reasons. First, new dirt about Hillary is comong forth every day, her former aides are making deals for immunity, or pleading the fifth amendment (which is invoked when one is likely to be "incriminating"). Hillary is getting closer to a criminal indictment rather than movong further away. Next, even if she were to be the candidate to run against Trump, her likelyhood of winning is much smaller than people might think. Sanders might actually be a more viable candidate. But in the end, I think the Pomeranian headed candidate is going to be the next president. America will have it's own "Brexit" of sorts, and take a step away from conventional politics and politicians.

If the powers that be here realized this as everyone else does, they might be able to move on and do somethinig possible instead of clinging desperately to the floatsam and trying to rebuild the ship.
They know this, but the worse things get, the more they will be able to spend to try to keep things going. They are like a sadistic doctor who makes his patient more ill so as to squeeze out more money for more severe treatments.
If they told people the truth, and explained just how bad things are, and how much of hardship genuine reforms would cause, the people woukd not hear of it. The powers-that-be would be tossed out of office, and lose the key to the public's purse. The people want to be lied to, and they always vote for those who tell them what they want to hear. As much as we criticise the likes of Abe, and their inability to improve things, the people have to realize that they put him in office, and failures of the government are caused by failures of the people, who can be made to believe that it is possible to get something for nothing, or less than it's true cost. Those costs are adding up, and it is the people who are responsible for the bill, not the liars they elect.

Yeah, and higher taxes will make everyone feel happy and confident,eh? The last couple of times the govt took that approach, it triggered two recessions. Let's have a third!
With fewer people and fewer companies generating tax revenue, and government spending at record levels, what options are there? Monetary easing has not worked, zero interest rates have not worked, stimulus soending has not worked, and helicopter money will not work.
Increased taxes of course do not work because Japanese people have small disposable incomes. Tariffs, trade barriers, regulations, price fixing, and bureaucracy all add to the cost of living in Japan. Nearly all things consumed of produced in Japan rely on importation. All practices so far have been to raise the price of imported food and finished goods so they don't compete with domestic products. When things are already too expensive, any tax will decrease consumption. Worse yet (as far as the government is concerned), when things are too expensive, people buy fewer of these things, and deflation occurs.
The entire foundation of Japan's industrial economy and the government it supports is built on sand, and inevitably, it is sinking. The government's solution only adds more weight, and accelerates the speed and depth to which both will sink.
Posted in: Japanese firms must be relieved at least for the present that the tax hike was delayed. But that doesn't mean they expect it to boost the economy and consumption. They recognize that fiscal consolidation is an issue that can't be sidestepped if Japan wants to eliminate the root of future anxiety.
I hope not. The EU can have free trade, free travel, and strong partnerships without paying a third party large tithes and a large part of their sovreingty. It is not the overpaid and underworked politicians in Brussels which make Europe strong, but the unique and individual cultures of the European countries.
Posted in: Can the EU survive Brexit?
It won't. Though it will likely be blamed for the failure of Abenomics, even though Abenomics failed failed two years before the Brexit took place.

As 2020 hosts, Tokyo needs to attend.
Who says? The hosts of the LA Olympics didn't attend the Moscow games, did they? And the LA games were the most successful in recent times.
The Tokyo assembly no doubt reserved first class tickets, executive suites, and luxury ground transportation, but like in other situations, quoted to the public for cost for less oppulent arrangements. As soon as they arrived, an eager press would no doubt dig up the actual costs, and the assembly would not be able to reconcile the difference. They have probably already discovered that it is too late to downgrade their stay, and rather than get their names splashed in the headlines, and photographed bowing in apology, they have simply (and wisely) decided not to go at all.

Biden is so absurdly, over-the-top, beyond all measurement, a complete idiot. No wonder he became a career politician. I thought Obama knew better than to let Biden open his mouth in front of the leaders of other countries, after Biden's countless examples of verbal stupidity.

"In Japan, while we can expect to see a temporary surge in the value of the yen, the UK's decision could also bring a halt to the economic recovery that had been underway,"
What economic growth? There has been no private sector economic growth in Japan during Abenomics if you subtract deficit-spent, public sector spending (stimulus spending, "fiscal spending," record govenrment budgets and supplementary budgets) Japan has never really come out of recession.
All of us here already know that Abenomics was "dead in the water," and blaming the UK for stopping further lack of growth is disingenuous, to say the least.

Don't worry. With the collapse of Abenomics, and nothing to look forward to after the Olympic boom, real estate prices will sink as irrevocably as the Titanic.

the whole point to strength or weaken your currency is to put your currency in the zone that best suits its economy, to weak or too strong isnt good for any economy
When governments stop tampering with their currencies, the value is determined by the currency trading market, which assigns a realistic value to it. If a country like China or India has lower labor or regulatory costs, and they generate a trade surplus due to higher demand, the acquire an excess of foreign currency. This has the effect of increasing the value of their own currency while devaluing he currencies they own, which in the long run evens the playing field; a stronger currency negates the advantages of lower labor and regulatory costs.
But governments love to play with their currencies. They give the excuse that a cheaper currency improves exports because it makes their countries' goods less expensive overseas, but the real reason behind weakening their currencies is to devalue their spectacular debts, and allows them to spend more than they otherwise could.
Japan could easily adjust to a stronger currency, as most goods sold in Japan are imported, and Japan still has a large population. A stronger currency would make food, energy, clothes, raw materials, and such much cheaper, and cheaper goods usually increase demand. But protectionism of the large exporters, and the agricultural voting block (which still has the majority of votes in Japan, despite the scarcity of farmers), and Japan's staggering national debt means that the government will intervene to keep the yen weak.
The problem with policies like currency manipulation, interest rate manipulation, price controls, and anti-completive measures is that the market always overcomes them. This is the cause of the boom/crash cycle which has caused such economic problems in the world. Every product or service, or currency has a natural value, which is determined, well, naturally, by supply, demand, and natural conditions. Whenever this value is pushed one way or the other, it eventually pushes back. The harder governments try to weaken or strengthen currencies, or control the prices of goods or services, the harder the eventual correction will be.
I am glad the UK has pulled out, and with a fresh start, I hope it manages itself more responsibly than it's peers and neighbors have been doing.

It is not just xenophobia that drove the break. Ever since the ECB introduced negative rates, the commercial banks of England have seen the writing on the wall. The EU is incapable of managing it's economy or just about anything else in a meaningful way, and it is no surprise that the UK was the first to step back. One of the most respectable things about the UK is the integrity of it's financial system; it is the foundation for the stability of the world's fiancial structure. It cannot be allowed to be infected by the irresponsible and foolish policies of the ECB. I for one am breathing a sigh of relief. Though I know we are in for hard times, in the end tne world is better off for the "Brexit."

The GPIF shouldn't have invested in the stock market in the first place. It's not their money.

so cool! this entire series has been awesome. Love that Matthias got another chance, So cool!

it was a bit slow for me in the beginning but then it got much better. wish there was a bit more to the ending.
Audible OBSESSED!
This installment of the fallen angels moves at the speed of lightening, so get ready for things to be super heavy ASAP. The speed of how quickly feelings were developing, etc. threw me off just a bit but Mathias' stay in hell must've put things in sharp perspective for him. All in all, it was a good story of redemption, forgiveness and love.

I wish I had read the reviews here before purchasing this one. My confidence in J R Ward's writing is justified, however the narration speed on this audio is devastating. I had to resort to a library hard-copy to enjoy Rapture.
"What's the rush?"
Narration is so fast, I don't think I will get thru it. Not enjoyable and difficult to follow. May need to read this one on my Kindle.
"This series gets better with every book"
I really enjoyed this book. Great characters and a nice twist at the end. Can't wait to read the next one. Really interested to see where Jim and Devina go from here.
Huge fan of J.R Ward and Sylvia Day!

Jim is always my favorite :)
I can picture Jim talking with Eric Dove's voice. I don't think I can do without.
I really did want to listen to it all at once but unfortunately I need to sleep too
It seemed like if they fast forward Eric Dove and made him talk fast like he was in a hurry. I have always loved the way he narrates but it seemed like he was in a rush. I constantly had to rewind in order to understand what was going on. I hope they slowed him down for book 5.

OpenGamma, creators of the first open source analytics and risk management platform for the financial services industry, today announced the appointment of Mas Nakachi as Global COO and CEO of North America. OpenGamma continues to invest in its senior management team, bringing on top industry talent to strengthen service delivery, enhance local client support and capitalize on the growing global demand for the OpenGamma Platform.
Nakachi joins OpenGamma's senior management team from Calypso Technology, where he was most recently director of business development for the rates, fixed-income and credit business. In this position, Nakachi was responsible for ecosystem development, marketing, client support and new product development initiatives, as well as strategic client acquisition for Calypso's largest business solution segment. He previously served as Calypso's director of strategy and corporate development, and began his career developing and growing Calypso's credit derivatives business, establishing it as a number one ranked solution, as acknowledged by numerous industry publications. A recognized expert and industry thought leader on credit derivatives, structured finance and OTC derivatives market structure, Nakachi brings over a decade of proven experience to his role at OpenGamma. Based in New York, he will oversee the company's North American operations and work with the London-based executive team to manage all operational areas of the business.
Nakachi's recruitment follows several recent high-profile OpenGamma appointments, including the addition of Hugh Stewart as global head of sales. Stewart brings more than three decades of global financial services and technology experience to the OpenGamma executive team, including demonstrated success growing start-ups and significantly increasing sales for established enterprise software firms. Prior to joining OpenGamma, Stewart most recently served as sales director at SmartStream Technologies. Throughout his career, he has held senior business development and leadership roles at global firms, including his tenure as Managing Director at Bankers Trust, C*ATS Software, Algorithmics and QuIC Financial. These executive appointments underscore OpenGamma's continued success and maturing business model, as the firm leverages its recent $15 million Series C funding round led by ICAP plc to bring on key personnel, drive continued product innovation and accelerate client and geographic growth.
"OpenGamma continues to invest in our people, our product innovation, and our growing open source community as we work to democratize and radically change the levels of transparency related to risk analytics within capital markets," said Kirk Wylie, Co-founder and CEO of OpenGamma. "Mas and Hugh both offer invaluable industry knowledge and proven experience, and share our vision and enthusiasm to change how firms view their risk infrastructures, navigate today's volatile regulatory environment, and access and deploy the most cost-effective, powerful risk analytics tools available."
2012 has been a landmark year for OpenGamma, beginning with the launch of the OpenGamma Platform 1.0 in April. This was followed quickly by the company's recognition as the winner and "Top Innovator" at the Innotribe Startup Challenge held in Belfast, honoring the company as one of the most promising financial technology and financial services start-ups and earning them a trip to the Innotribe Startup Challenge Finals at Sibos, SWIFT's annual conference, in Osaka, Japan. OpenGamma was also selected as one of Risk Magazine's Firms of the Future, a select group of organizations forecast to have the biggest impact on the OTC derivatives market over the next five years. Building on this success, OpenGamma recently announced their $15 million Series C round of equity financing led by ICAP plc and joined by Euclid Opportunities, with follow-on investments from previous investors Accel Partners and FirstMark Capital.
"The demand we are seeing for the OpenGamma Platform highlights the belief we held from our first vision of OpenGamma: that the industry needs a new standard for risk analytics," said Mark Beeston, Chief Executive Officer for ICAP's post trade and risk mitigation businesses and member of OpenGamma's Board of Directors. "OpenGamma's ability to attract executives of Mas and Hugh's caliber is a testament to the company's truly disruptive business and technology model, recognized innovation, and the collaborative community they've created that will usher in a new era for financial services technology."
