Advisory Opinion 2012-07
Finalized and Effective October 29, 2012
The requesting judge is a District Court Judge whose case assignment includes a criminal docket. The judge's daughter recently became engaged to a Deputy District Attorney (DDA) who works in the District Attorney's office in the judge's district. Throughout his daughter's relationship with the DDA, the judge has recused himself from the DDA's cases, and has disclosed the relationship on the record in all matters in which other attorneys from the same DA's office has entered an appearance. The judge asks the following questions:
(1) Whether he is disqualified under Rule 2.11 from presiding over all criminal matters involving the DA's office during the engagement and/or after the marriage.
(2) Whether he may serve as the weekly "duty judge" responsible for reviewing and approving arrest and search warrants submitted by law enforcement after consultation with the DA's office, and conducting probable cause reviews for individuals arrested over the weekend, which typically involves reviewing a warrantless arrest affidavit prepared by a law enforcement officer.
Both during the engagement and after the marriage, the judge must recuse from cases in which the Deputy District Attorney engaged to the judge's daughter enters an appearance or otherwise participates in the preparation or presentation of the case. The judge is not disqualified from all cases involving the District Attorney's office, provided his future son-in-law has no personal involvement with the case and has no supervisory authority over the attorneys involved in the case. The judge may ethically serve as the weekly duty judge, provided his future son-in-law is not the attorney responsible for preparing or reviewing warrants and affidavits submitted for the judge's approval.
Canon 1 of the Code of Judicial Conduct provides that "A judge shall uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety."
Rule 1.2 requires judges to "act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary," and to "avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety."
Canon 2 provides that "A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office impartially, competently, and diligently."
Rule 2.2 provides that a judge "shall perform all duties of judicial office fairly and impartially."
Rule 2.4(B) provides that "A judge shall not permit family, social, political, financial, or other interests or relationships to influence the judge's judicial conduct or judgment."
Rule 2.4(C) provides that "A judge shall not convey or permit others to convey the impression that any person or organization is in a position to influence the judge."
Rule 2.11(A) requires disqualification of a judge "in any proceeding in which the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned."
Rule 2.11(A)(1) requires disqualification when a judge "has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a party's lawyer. . . ." See also Crim. P. 21(b)(1)(IV) (substitution of judge is required upon the filing of a timely motion establishing that the judge is "interested or prejudiced with respect to the case, the parties, or counsel").
Rule 2.11(A)(2) requires disqualification when "[t]he judge knows that the judge, the judge's spouse or domestic partner, or a person within the third degree of relationship to either of them, or the spouse or domestic partner of such a person is:
(a) a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, general partner, managing member, or trustee of a party;
(b) acting as a lawyer in the proceeding;
(c) a person who has more than a de minimis interest that could be substantially affected by the proceeding; or
(d) likely to be a material witness in the proceeding."
See also Crim. P. 21(b)(1)(I) (substitution of judge is required upon the filing of a timely motion establishing that the judge "is related to the defendant or to any attorney of record or attorney otherwise engaged in the case").
The Terminology section of the Code defines "member of the judge's family" as "a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, or other relative or person with whom the judge maintains a close familial relationship." A person within the "third degree of relationship" to the judge includes a "great-grandparent, grandparent, parent, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, child, grandchild, great-grandchild, nephew, and niece."
At the outset, we note that, because the judge's daughter's engagement to the DDA reflects their firm intention to become legally married in the near future, we see no meaningful distinction between the judge's relationship with the DDA during the engagement and after the marriage. Accordingly, for purposes of this opinion, we conclude that the judge has a familial relationship with the DDA that requires the judge's disqualification regardless of whether the DDA is engaged to or is married to the judge's daughter.
The requesting judge's practice of recusing from cases in which his future son-in-law has entered an appearance is consistent with Rule 2.11(A), which requires disqualification if an objective observer might question the judge's impartiality, and he must continue to recuse from the DDA's cases after the DDA and the judge's daughter are married pursuant to the express requirements of Rules 2.11(A)(1) and (2)(b), which mandate disqualification when the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party's lawyer and when the spouse of the judge's child is acting as a lawyer in the proceeding. Recusal based on the judge's familial relationship with the DDA both before and during the marriage is also consistent with Rules 2.2, 2.4(B), and 2.4(C), which require judges to perform the duties of judicial office impartially, to not permit family relationships to influence the judge's judicial conduct or judgment, and to not convey the impression that any person is in a position to influence the judge. Thus, the judge should continue to recuse from the DDA's case during the engagement and after the marriage. For the same reasons, the judge may not serve as the duty judge responsible for reviewing and approving arrest warrants, search warrants, and warrantless arrest affidavits prepared by his future son-in-law or by law enforcement officers after consultation with him.
The Code does not specifically address the judge's question whether disqualification is also required in all cases in which the DA's office for which the future son-in-law works, even when he has not entered an appearance or is not otherwise involved in the case, but the following comment to Rule 2.11 is instructive:
The fact that a lawyer in a proceeding is affiliated with a law firm with which a relative of the judge is affiliated does not itself disqualify the judge. If, however, the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned under paragraph (A) . . . , the judge's disqualification is required.
C.J.C. Rule 2.11, cmt. 4.
In Opinion 2005-02, the Board relied on a nearly identical comment to the disqualification rule in the pre-2010 Code in concluding that a judge in a small, rural jurisdiction should disqualify himself from cases in which a partner or associate in his brother-in-law's firm acts as counsel. But Opinion 2005-02 is distinguishable from and is therefore not dispositive of the issue presented here, because it involved a relative-lawyer who worked for a private law firm, while this case involves a relative-lawyer who works for the government.
The rules and related commentary regarding judicial conflicts based on a relative's association with a case do not distinguish between judges' relatives who work in the private sector and judges' relatives who work in the public sector, but the potential for conflict is considerably less in the case of a relative working for a public office such as a District Attorney's office than in a private firm. Specifically, the compensation of an individual prosecutor is unaffected by whether the DA's office prevails in a particular case, and the financial viability of the DA's office is unaffected by whether it prevails in a given case. Nor does an individual prosecutor's reputation hinge on the outcome of any particular case prosecuted by the DA's office for which he or she works. Finally, and perhaps most important, because a prosecutor represents the "sovereign whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all," the prosecutor's interest in a criminal prosecution "is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done." Wilson v. People, 743 P.2d 415, 418 (Colo. 1987) (quoting Berger v. United States, 295 U.S. 78, 88 (1935)). Thus, courts in other states have concluded, and we agree, that a judge will generally not be required to disqualify from cases involving a government agency for which a relative-lawyer works when the relative-lawyer is not the attorney of record, does not supervise the attorney of record, or is not otherwise personally involved in the case. See, e.g., People v. Moffat, 560 N.E.2d 352, 361-62 (Ill. App. 1990) (rejecting a claim of unfair trial based on the fact that the judge's son was an assistant state's attorney but was not involved in the case); State v. Logan, 689 P.2d 778, 783-85 (Kan. 1984) (court properly denied motion to disqualify where the judge's son worked as an assistant district attorney but not on the particular case); State v. Loera, 530 So. 2d 1271, 1276 (La. App. 1988) (judge whose daughter was an assistant district attorney was not required to recuse from case brought by her office but in which she was not involved); Adair v. State Dept. of Educ., 709 N.W.2d 567, 572-77 (Mich. 2006) (employment of supreme court justices' spouses by the state Attorney General's office did not require justices' disqualification in case brought by that office but in which spouses were not involved); People v. Dycus, 246 N.W.2d 326, 327 (Mich. App. 1976) (judge not disqualified from cases brought by prosecutor's office in which judge's relative was an attorney where the relative-lawyer did not participate on the case); In re Jacobs, 802 N.W.2d 748, 751-52 (Minn. 2011) (noting that an assistant county attorney does not have a financial or reputational interest in a prosecution in which he or she is not involved, and concluding that a judge whose spouse works in the county attorney's office is not disqualified from prosecutions by that office in which the spouse is not involved); State v. Harrell, 662, 546 N.W.2d 115, 118 (Wis. 1996) (disqualification not required where judge's wife was an assistant district attorney in the county district attorney's office but was not involved in and therefore had no financial or reputational interest in the outcome of the case).
Indeed, the Colorado Court of Appeals recognized the distinction between private sector and public sector relative-lawyers for judicial disqualification purposes in Smith v. Beckman, 683 P.2d 1214 (Colo. App. 1984). The issue in Beckman was whether the judge was disqualified from a case involving the DA's office for which his wife worked but in which she was not the attorney of record and had not otherwise been involved. Interpreting the criminal rule governing the substitution of judges, the court observed:
Generally, an attorney is said to be "engaged in the case" pursuant to Crim. P. 21 and similar rules when he has actually worked on the case in any capacity, or is in a position to gain or lose financially from its resolution. A partner in a law firm is said to be "engaged" in every case in which a member of his firm represents a party, primarily because he has a financial interest in the outcome of the case. However, this rationale does not apply to a lawyer in government service, regardless of his powers and duties, because his compensation and clientele are set, and the prestige of the office as a whole is not greatly affected by the outcome of a particular case. For these reasons, a government attorney is only "engaged in the case" when he has worked on it directly.
Id. at 1216. Based on that rationale, the court concluded that, because the judge's wife was not an attorney engaged in the case, the judge was not required to disqualify himself pursuant to Crim. P. 21(b)(1)(I). Id. The court did not separately address the relative-lawyer disqualification provisions in the Code of Judicial Conduct, but presumably concluded that disqualification was not required under the pre-2010 Code version of Rule 2.11(A)(2).
Nevertheless, based on the rule requiring disqualification to avoid the appearance of impropriety, the Beckman court concluded that "the existence of a marriage relationship between a judge and a deputy district attorney in the same county is sufficient to establish grounds for disqualification" from all cases involving the district attorney's office, "even though no other facts call into question the judge's impartiality." Id. That determination was based on the court's conclusion that "an appearance of impropriety is created by the close nature of the marriage relationship" and the fact that spouses "share confidences regarding their personal lives and employment situations." Id.
In Opinion 2012-02, the Board reaffirmed the conclusion that in most instances, a marriage relationship between a judge and an attorney associated with the attorney appearing before the judge creates an appearance of partiality that can only be cured by the judge's recusal from the case. In that case, the judge's spouse was the managing attorney of the regional office of a small public interest law firm, and in that capacity supervised the other attorney in the office. Based both on the marriage relationship and the spouse's supervisory role, the Board concluded that the judge should recuse from cases in which an attorney supervised by the judge's spouse enters an appearance.
Here, however, the relative-lawyer is the judge's future son-in-law —not his spouse—and does not supervise the other lawyers in the DA's office for which he works. Accordingly, neither Beckman nor Opinion 2012-02 is dispositive of the question whether the judge is required to recuse from all cases involving that office to avoid the appearance of impropriety, and we conclude that he is not.
The standard for determining whether disqualification is required to avoid the appearance of partiality or impropriety is whether "a reasonable observer might have doubts about the judge's impartiality." People in Interest of A.G., 262 P.3d 646, 650 (Colo. 2011); see also C.J.C. Rule 1.2, cmt. 5 ("the test for appearance of impropriety is whether the conduct would create in reasonable minds a perception that the judge violated this Code or engaged in other conduct that reflects adversely on the judge's honesty, impartiality, temperament, or fitness to serve as a judge"). The "mere existence of a relationship—whether personal or professional—is insufficient grounds for disqualification. Rather, it is the closeness of the relationship and its bearing on the underlying case that determines whether disqualification is necessary." Schupper v. People, 157 P.3d 516, 520 (Colo. 2007) (internal citation omitted).
In our view, the same rationale that leads to the conclusion that the judge is not disqualified under Rule 2.11(A)(2) from cases brought by the DA's office for which his future son-in-law works but on which the son-in-law is not personally involved also supports the conclusion that an objective observer knowing all the facts would not believe that the judge would be prejudiced in favor of the DA's office or otherwise question the judge's impartiality in such cases. See Schupper, 157 P.3d at 520-21 (disqualification not required based on judge's prior employment with prosecutor's office, his personal friendship with his former supervisor who appeared at only one hearing five years before trial, and the claimed "level of animosity" between defendant and the district attorney's office); People v. Julien, 47 P.3d 1194, 1200 (Colo. 2002) (trial court judge's recent employment as a supervising attorney in the District Attorney's office did not require his disqualification from a criminal matter brought by that office because the judge was not involved in the investigation or prosecution of that case and there was no basis for presuming pro-prosecution bias in all criminal matters). Courts from other states that have considered this question have reached the same conclusion. See Moffat, 560 N.E.2d at 361-62; Logan, 689 P.2d at 784-85; Loera, 530 So. 2d at 1276; Adair, 709 N.W.2d at 577-78; Dycus, 246 N.W.2d at 327; In re Jacobs, 802 N.W.2d at 752-55; Harrell, 662, 546 N.W.2d at 118.
Thus, the judge is not automatically disqualified from cases brought by the DA's office, provided his future son-in-law has not entered an appearance, does not supervise the attorneys handling the case, and is not otherwise personally involved. Likewise, the judge may serve as the duty judge, provided his future son-in-law was not involved in the preparation or review of warrants and affidavits submitted for the judge's consideration.

My 14-year-old daughter Laura recently got to fly for the first time. In fact, she traveled by almost every possible mode — land, sea, plane and train — in the course of only a few days.
Laura and I accompanied my friend Yolanda to Houston last week for outpatient eye surgery. We were there to make sure Yolanda got back OK from the hospital to the hotel to recover. Once we got Yolanda safely back to her room and all medicated, she urged Laura and I to explore H-Town.
The opportunities were seemingly unlimited: The Johnson Space Center, The Houston Holocaust Museum, The Downtown Aquarium, The Houston Garden Center and Rice Village, to name a few.
Knowing we wouldn't have the time to thoroughly explore The Space Center, I chose one of Houston's newest attractions, the Kemah Boardwalk between Houston and Galveston. Since Laura had just had her first airplane experience, I thought it'd be cool for her to see the ocean for the first time, too.
I consider the Kemah Boardwalk to be on the ocean. It's actually located on the Clear Creek Channel that connects to the Galveston Bay, which connects to the Gulf of Mexico, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean — just like the knee bone connects to the thigh bone and the thigh bone connects to the hip bone and so on.
We went on an unforgettable speed boat ride, at least five miles into the Galveston Bay.
This boat ride was the bomb. Three crew members were like cheerleaders. They got everyone on board pumped up through song and dance, beginning with, "Don't Rock the Boat." As we ventured out into the bay where the choppy waters that day made me nervous, the music switched to none other than the "Gilligan's Island" theme song.
The captain sped up the boat and made sharp turns so the boat skidded on its side, water splashing in our faces and the lyrics racing through my mind, "… The weather started getting rough (thunder in the background), the tiny ship was tossed…" I nervously held on to my purse and the railing and the particular lyrics froze in my mind, "The Minnow would be lost! The Minnow would be lost!"
I turned to Laura and she was having a blast, so I finally relaxed and had the boat ride of my life. I enjoyed the wind and water blowing in my face and with the sights and sounds of seagulls flying overhead and the cityscape of Houston in the distance, it was an incredible escape from the busy semester I've been having at Eastern New Mexico University.
When we got back to the Big H, Laura still hadn't seen downtown Houston, so we took a train ride. I thought these smooth-gliding, Amtrak-looking cable cars were buses, but when I inquired about the next bus, the stranger looked at me like I was weird and noted that it was a train station. I was forced to accept the fact that this single car — a spacy, bus-looking thing — was actually a train.
It didn't seem right, though.
Being raised in eastern New Mexico, a train is supposed to be a long string of boxcars that snake along at slow speeds and sometimes have a little red caboose at the end. But then I realized I haven't seen any little red cabooses on the trains at home lately. When I was little, there was always a caboose at the end and a man waving.
As we drove home from the airport in Lubbock, I told Yolanda that traveling is like going to another world. When you go to unfamiliar places, it's like you temporarily enter a dream world and things move in slow motion. You leave your cares behind and notice things that people from these places probably take for granted, just like you take your own surroundings for granted.
Yolanda agreed and then brought both Laura and I out of our dream states and back to reality. With each mile that we inched closer to home, our cares returned to stacks of homework that had piled up while we were off in the clouds and sailing the sea.

GOP hopes scandal will snag health lawBy RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
THE Associated Press | May 19,2013AP PHOTO
Ousted IRS chief Steven Miller, right, and J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, prepared to be sworn on Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday prior to testifying before the House Ways and Means Committee hearing on the extra scrutiny the IRS gave Tea Party and other conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status.WASHINGTON Political scandals have strange ways of causing collateral damage, and Republicans are hoping the furor over federal tax enforcers singling out conservative groups will ensnare their biggest target: President Barack Obamas health care law.
There is a link, but it may only be coincidence. No one appears to have connected the dots factually, and its unclear whether they will.
The Internal Revenue Service has a major role in carrying out the health care law, because financial assistance to help the uninsured afford coverage will be funneled through the tax system. At the same time, the IRS is also responsible for penalties on individuals and employers who fail to comply with the laws requirements.
But the really tantalizing connection is that a former head of the office that subjected tea-party groups seeking tax exemptions to tougher scrutiny is now running the tax agencys division in charge of implementing the health care law.
That official apparently switched roles before internal alarm bells went off about the problem. But feed all that into todays frenzied world of online speculation, and red-meat associations are irresistible.
Now weve learned that the IRS, which is tasked with enforcing this very unpopular bill of Obamacare, the IRS admitted they targeted Americans, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., said during floor debate last week on repealing the health care law.
And so this gargantuan government expansion known as Obamacare will allow bureaucrats access to our most intimate, personal health information, she added. It will be a huge database that government is putting together and building right now. Under Obamacare, the average American will pay more, theyll get less, and now they have to worry that their government may punish them because of their beliefs.
Nonsense, says Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees the IRS.
There really isnt a tie, said Levin. This is another effort by the Republicans to essentially try to score political points.
The head of the IRS health care office, Sarah Hall Ingram, was in charge of the tax exempt division when agents first started improperly targeting conservative groups over their applications for tax-exempt status. The fallout has already led to the ouster of acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller, followed by the announcement that the current head of the division will retire.
But the IRS said Ingram was re-assigned to help the agency implement the health care law in December 2010, about six months before a Treasury inspector generals report said her subordinate, the director of exempt organizations, learned about the targeting.
There isnt any evidence that Sarah Ingram had any inkling of the problems, said Levin. In contrast, Levin continued, ousted commissioner Miller failed to adequately inform Congress after he learned.
At a congressional hearing on the IRS scandal Friday, Miller was grilled by Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Ohio, about Ingrams shift to running the IRS health care office.
Tiberi: Why would you promote somebody to that position who was in charge of the exempt organization division, which certainly has had some controversy over the last couple years, under an investigation?
Miller: Because shes a superb civil servant, sir.
Tiberi: So she had nothing to do with this?
Miller: I wouldnt imagine so.
GOP lawmakers are smart to be looking for a connection, said Tom Davis, a former Republican congressman from Virginia, but must be careful not to overplay their hand.
The health care law is 50-50 with the public on a good day, said Davis. You put that together with the IRS and its combustible. For Republicans, I think they need to go a little slower and get some facts in.
I dont think its just a couple of underlings, but they dont have any smoking gun yet, he added.
Though it plays a crucial role in carrying out the health care law, the IRS is part of the back-office operation. IRS agents wont be setting up health insurance markets, and they wont have a say in which health plans people get to pick or what doctors they see.
However, agency officials will determine who is eligible for financial assistance under the law and who must pay penalties.
The reason the IRS is involved in whats essentially a social program is that lawmakers crafted the financial subsidies available under the health law as tax credits. The agency already administers another major social program, the earned income tax credit, which long ago surpassed welfare as the main source of government assistance for low-income families.
The IRS handles four major components of the health care law. The most important one is determining if individual Americans are entitled to new tax credits to help pay private insurance premiums. Its a complex calculation.
Keyed to income on a sliding scale, the credits are available starting in 2014 to households making up to four times the federal poverty level, or about $94,000 for a family of four. Individuals or families are eligible if they dont have affordable coverage on the job. But if you understate your income to get a bigger credit, youll owe more taxes next year.
The agency is also in charge of assessing penalties on people who ignore the laws requirement to carry health insurance, which applies to virtually all Americans starting next year.
On the employer side, the IRS administers a tax credit to help small businesses with low-wage employees afford coverage, and its also in charge of imposing penalties on companies with 50 or more employees that dont offer coverage.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

The decision on who will fill the late Sen. Dan Inouye's seat in Congress will be taken up Wednesday morning, as more than 70 members of the Democratic Party of Hawaii's state central committee vote on which three candidates to forward to Gov. Neil Abercrombie for his consideration.
The latest political heavyweight to express interest in Inouye's Senate seat is Congresswoman-elect Tulsi Gabbard, who won Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District with 76.8 percent of the vote.
"In the military, I learned that 'leadership' means raising your hand and volunteering for the tough, important assignments," Gabbard said in a statement issued late Monday. "Senator Inouye did that as a young man, and he inspired a generation of young soldiers like me. Now, it is our responsibility to step up, for the good of Hawaii. In that spirit, I place my name into consideration for the seat he filled so ably."
Others that have expressed interest in Inouye's seat include Lt. Governor Brian Schatz, former Congressman Ed Case, Department of Land and Natural Resources Deputy Director Esther Kia'aina, attorney Tony Gill, and state senators Will Espero and Donna Mercado Kim.
In a statement issued Sunday, Case said Hawaii faces a precarious situation on Capitol Hill due to Inouye's unexpected death on Dec. 17, and Sen. Dan Akaka's retirement. In 2006, Case unsuccessfully challenged Akaka in the Democratic primary, arguing it was time to begin building seniority in a new generation of Hawaii politicians.
"Our next Senator must also have the knowledge, experience and ability to work with different presidents and colleagues over the coming decades toward rebuilding national leadership and influence for our congressional delegation," Case said in his statement.
Kia'aina, who challenged Gabbard for the 2nd Congressional District, noted she has 20 years of experience in Washington, D.C. She served as an intern for Inouye before rising to chief of staff for two different congressmen.
"With Senator Inouye's passing and Senator Akaka's imminent departure, it is important to ensure that Hawaii has the strongest representation possible in our nation's capital," Kia'aina said in a Sunday statement.
Kim believes Hawaii would benefit most from someone who is familiar with issues affecting both the county and the state. Kim served in the Honolulu City Council from 1984 to 2000, after serving in the state House from 1982 to 1984.
"I think I'm one of the few people that have county experience, and it's important that somebody in Washington knows the municipality," Kim told KITV4. "We need to have a delegation that's going to stand strong and tall for the people, and not going to be afraid to speak out."
However, weighing heavily over the process of picking Inouye's replacement is the late senator's final wish that Hanabusa succeed him in the Senate. Inouye expressed his wishes in a letter delivered to Abercrombie's office on Dec. 17, the day of his death.
Whoever Abercrombie chooses to replace Inouye will serve in the Senate until 2014. That's when voters go to the polls to decide on a replacement for Inouye until the end of his term in 2016.
Gabbard wants to be considered for Inouye's Senate seat
The decision on who will fill the late Sen. Dan Inouye's seat in Congress will be taken up Wednesday morning, as more than 70 members of the Democratic Party of Hawaii's state central committee vote on which three candidates to forward to Gov. Neil Abercrombie for his consideration.

text: My baby will be one month old tomorrow (Tuesday). While in utero, she/we had a condition called IUGR which means that while she developed normally, thank goodness, she didn't gain much weight. She was born at 4 pounds 4 ounces and everyone, the nurses, doctors and lactation consultants told me NO BREASTFEEDING until her suck is strong enough. Basically, it's important that she gets breastmilk but she needs to be bottle-fed so that she gets a lot of food in the easiest way possible. So I've been pumping like a madwoman but I only pump about 1 ounce per pumping session. My little one eats about 2 ounces at every feeding which means that I have to add 1 ounce of formula to each bottle. I am assuming, since it wasn't made totally clear by my lactation consultant, that I cannot try to breastfeed her until my milk supply is at about 2 ounces - otherwise she'll lose weight and we absolutely cannot have that. No matter how much I pump, it just doesn't get up there and I fear I'll never be able to breastfeed her. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to get the supply up? I'm drinking the tea, taking fenugreek pills, drinking tons of water, etc but nothing seems to be doing it.

Objective To compare media/marketing exposures and family factors in predicting adolescent alcohol use.
Design Cohort study.
Setting Confidential telephone survey of adolescents in their homes.
Participants Representative sample of 6522 US adolescents, aged 10–14 years at baseline and surveyed four times over 2 years.
Primary outcome measure Time to alcohol onset and progression to binge drinking were assessed with two survival models. Predictors were movie alcohol exposure (MAE), ownership of alcohol-branded merchandise and characteristics of the family (parental alcohol use, home availability of alcohol and parenting). Covariates included sociodemographics, peer drinking and personality factors.
Results Over the study period, the prevalence of adolescent ever use and binge drinking increased from 11% to 25% and from 4% to 13%, respectively. At baseline, the median estimated MAE from a population of 532 movies was 4.5 h and 11% owned alcohol-branded merchandise at time 2. Parental alcohol use (greater than or equal to weekly) was reported by 23% and 29% of adolescents could obtain alcohol from home. Peer drinking, MAE, alcohol-branded merchandise, age and rebelliousness were associated with both alcohol onset and progression to binge drinking. The adjusted hazard ratios for alcohol onset and binge drinking transition for high versus low MAE exposure were 2.13 (95% CI 1.76 to 2.57) and 1.63 (1.20 to 2.21), respectively, and MAE accounted for 28% and 20% of these transitions, respectively. Characteristics of the family were associated with alcohol onset but not with progression.
Conclusion The results suggest that family focused interventions would have a larger impact on alcohol onset while limiting media and marketing exposure could help prevent both onset and progression.

The father of a New York teen swept out to sea during a Hawaii expedition last year returned to the state for the first time since the accident to hear arguments over whether the case should move to a state court in Colorado.
A lawyer for Michael Madoff argued during a hearing Tuesday that the proposed move would deny the family of 15-year-old Tyler Madoff a fair civil trial.
The move is being proposed by lawyers for Bold Earth Adventures, the adventure company that arranged the trip, Hawaii Pack and Paddle, the local tour company that led the excursion, and a tour guide named in the lawsuit.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Mollway heard arguments for more than an hour Tuesday but didn't immediately make a decision.

Development plan will generate jobsApril 21,2013
Development plan
will create Vt. jobs
NEWPORT Vermont education and labor officials are helping to prepare the Northeast Kingdom for an influx of what officials hope could eventually be 10,000 jobs.
Those jobs would come through a development initiative run by Bill Stenger, president of Jay Peak Resort, and his partner Ariel Quiros.
Officials say the first wave of jobs created in the region by the Northeast Kingdom Economic Development Initiative are already being created in the construction and tourism industries and if people wait too long for training and additional education they could miss out.
We really need trained, qualified people, said Patricia Sears of the Newport City Renaissance Corp., who is helping to prepare the community for the NEK Initiative.
A team of labor and education specialists is focusing on the jobs that they will create and the training that will be needed to get those jobs. A report expected to be finished soon will be shared in the community, said team-member Cindy Robillard.
Stenger andl Quiros are expanding the Jay Peak and Burke Mountain resorts, bringing Menck Windows USA and AnC Bio Vermont to the city of Newport, rebuilding a downtown block and building a waterfront hotel in Newport City. The project will also include expanding the Newport State Airport.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

The word "ultimate" has long been common currency among firearm
enthusiasts. But if there is a combat and tactical pistol for which this
term is absolutely appropriate, it is the Beretta M9. This legendary
semiauto handgun has not only won the historic contract with the US
military in 1985, but has achieved a triumphant contract renewal after
more than two decades of hard use in the world's toughest and most
extreme conditions, from the scorching deserts of Iraq to the frigid
heights of the Afghan mountains. A contract renewal after this kind of
use and abuse means a product that has kept its promises--and then some.
Simply put, there is no pistol today that is as durable, reliable,
dependable, easy to use, safe and accurate as the Beretta M9, the
handgun that has rightfully earned the nickname of "World Defender."
When we talk US military standards, we talk hard numbers, not opinions.
The M9 has been put through impossibly-rigorous durability and
reliability tests that greatly exceed any kind of real-life
situation--and it has passed them all with flying colors. For instance,
it will keep functioning in temperatures as low as -40 F and as high as
+140 F, and it consistently fires over 35,000 rounds of commercial
ammunition before a failure. It will keep functioning reliably even
after being buried in the sand or snow, or being repeatedly dropped on
hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete. Beretta's engineering experience
and the quality of the steels used enable this kind of reliability, on
which America's servicemen and women depend every day.
Another official test that the M9 had to pass was at the firing range.
Even here, the demands of the US military far exceed most conditions in
which a handgun is used--and even here, the M9 delivers. As per
government testing guidelines, this pistol is capable of firing 10-shot
groups of 3 inches or less at a distance of 50 meters (approximately 55
yards), with consistency and reliability. With other brands and models
of premium pistols, this kind of accuracy may only be attained with
extensive (and expensive) modifications and customization with
after-market parts, while the M9 offers it right out of the box.
The M9 offers a variety of tactical features that make it equally safe,
easy to use and dependable in the holster of military personnel as well
as for home or personal defense. Its reversible magazine release
enables the use of either hand for tactical magazine changes, while its
ambidextrous safety-decocker makes the pistol flexible for right- or
left-handed persons or for shooters trying out different gripping or
shooting styles. Its Bruniton finish with military-style markings is
highly resistant to sweat and corrosion, and after shooting, a tool-free
disassembly latch makes it simple and quick to take the pistol apart
for cleaning. These and countless other useful features make the M9 the
choice of the US military, as well as individuals wanting the absolute
best for sport or self-protection.

Dordt College News
Dordt students on service projects during winter break
January 14, 2013
Twenty-three Dordt College students traveled overseas during their winter break on AMOR (A Mission OutReach), a week-long mission trip where students help with construction and renovation projects while sharing Christ's love with others.
The following students journeyed to Brazil along with chaperones Gary (professor of agriculture) and LuAnne De Vries, and Brett Leyendekker (Dordt College student services assistant): Elizabeth Boender (Hickman, Nebraska), Dirk Oudman (Wheatfield, Indiana), Kyle Roos (Sioux Center, Iowa), Nathan Smith (Palm Desert, California), and John Stam (Oskaloosa, Iowa). Students traveling to Jamaica were: Kelsey De Kam (Edgerton, Minnesota), Alexa Groen (Munster, Indiana), Derek Lourens (Orange City, Iowa), Katie Monsma (League City, Texas), Kristi Palsma (Orange City, Iowa), Jenna Petersen (Clara City, Minnesota), Joy Roelofs (Tyler, Minnesota), Christy Sikkema (Ridgetown, Ontario, Canada), Marisa Van Bemmel (Rock Valley, Iowa), Kimberly van der Giessen (Seattle, Washington), Sara van der Giessen (Seattle, Washington), Austin Van Staalduinen (Pantego, North Carolina), Kristin Vanden Bosch (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), Gina VanLaan (Caledonia, Michigan), and Ashley Viet (Hawarden, Iowa).
One reason Dordt encourages international mission work is because of the cross-cultural learning opportunity it presents to students. A common thread through the stories shared by past AMOR participants is that they have learned about themselves in the light of these other cultures and of God's love and work around the globe.
Dordt College was recently named an honor roll member by the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, which recognizes institutions of higher education that promote community service and show meaningful results in their communities.

Beef stew from Pamplona (Estofado de carne)
This Spanish-style beef stew has earned a permanent spot in my cold weather meal rotation. The addition of currants, capers and pine nuts give this stew a sweet-nutty-saltiness that compliments the rich beef. It's a simple, one-pot meal that's deeply comforting. Serve with roasted potatoes or rice. – Andrew Zimmern
If you're looking for a cozy and nourishing meal to serve during these chilly winter months, look no further than this beef stew. You'll find pine nuts among the ingredients, which provide a mildly sweet, rich, and nutty flavor that both kids and adults enjoy. You may be surprised to learn that this small, tasty nut contains a high amount of protein and fiber! These nutrients will help you feel full and satisfied after eating and prevent excess snacking between meals. – The clinical dietitian team at Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota
Ingredient List
- 2 1/2 pounds cubed beef for stew
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces minced bacon
- 1 large minced onion
- 3 mashed garlic cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon clove
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 3 tablespoons minced parsley
- 1 minced hardboiled egg
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Total Time: 2 hours
Servings: 4 to 6
Heat the oil in a large pot. Brown the beef over high heat, about 10 minutes.
Add the bacon and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until browned. Add the onions, garlic, nutmeg, ginger, clove and sugar, and cook for another 3 minutes.
Next, add the stock. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered for 1 hour.
After an hour, remove the lid and add the spinach. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Stir in the currants, nuts, capers, parsley and vinegar.
Cook for another minute or so. Adjust seasoning and serve.
Garnish with the hardboiled egg.

Saturday Night Live Takes Aim at CNN, Relentlessly Mocks the News Network Over Missing Plane Coverage
Apr. 13, 2014 7:51am Oliver Darcy
Saturday Night Live took a swing at CNN this weekend, appearing to mock the network for their relentless coverage of the missing Malaysia airliner.
The skit explored what would happen if CNN entered the pregnancy test business. Instead of delivering a stream of continuous updates on the search for MH370, one couple received those largely uninformative updates on the progress determining a possible pregnancy.
BREAKING: CNN more confident than ever that it will soon know if youre pregnant, one alert read.

RE: Thanks for looking for John Nixon's grave
Cool, 3 of those have stones I found and 3 are on the other list and no stone found now. Good place to start poking around.

RE: Thanks for looking for John Nixon's grave
OK Bill, I hope Mr/Mrs Bates do a walk around this weekend and call to say they found John. After finding him in the history book I assume he is in the First Weybridge Hill cemetery so maybe if you go there will be a stone found. Did he have any other family names that might be near him? I have listed all I found and just added the few others that I did not find but were listed in the history book. If you see any connection in the list that might be a starting place to poke around. This is a stony/ledge area and a lot of what look like markers are actually ledge and lot of the old markers can't be read. Seems like he should pop his head up and say hi soon if we keep after him.

RE: Thanks for looking for John Nixon's grave
After getting home I have looked at some of the Weybridge History and it does show John Nixon JR 4/24/1813 age 55 in First Weybridge Cemetery. Maybe the land owner will have better luck. I believe I have all the stones I can read entered now. I did try checking the footstones today to make sure the initials matched the stone. There are still a lot of old stones I can't read. I am trying to find some info on the Nixon Farm

Buck Memorials, Old Chelsea Cemetery
Thank you for the offer to visit Old Chelsea cemetery again. I would love it, if it hasn't snowed yet. Some of the markers I am looking for include, Content Buck, possibly another Daniel Buck, Infant Buck, Londuis Buck, and Samuel Buck. I am not sure if there are any more or not, but I would love to see what you can come up with. These are all family members of mine. Thank you so much.

RE: Orestes Cleveland

Orestes Cleveland
hi Bill,
I went to Norwich Historical Society and looked through all the cemetery inventories (whew!)... According to these books (of various years), Orestes is not buried in any of the 9 cemeteries in Norwich. I did find a Mary Cleveland (d 10/26/1839) and Hannah Cleveland (wife of C Cleveland, died 10/5/1837) in the Union Village cemetery. I also checked for the alternate spelling (Cleaveland) but nothing...

General John Nixon
Bill, When you created Gen. John Nixon's memorial and bio stating he is buried on his son's farm in Weybridge, Addison, VT, what is your source that he's buried there? He's my 5th gr grandfather and final resting place is an important fact for my cousins and I to determine. Some say his body was taken to Sudbury, MA. There are no marker photos.
Thanks, Nancy in FL
P.S. Thank you for your service to our country.

I am a ong time pastor who conducts many weddings. I use post-its in my service book liberally so I do not forget the name of the bride and groom. The day before the 'simple' wedding with just a few guests, the bride got very nervous, and I ended up absorbing that energy. I went through my notes repeatedly that day, double-checking everything and held it together with multiple references to Dan and Jill, until,yes, at the very end, so relieved to be done, introduced them as "Jan and Dill." The bride whipped around and scolded me. I returned thier honorarium.

I once stood on a road from where I saw a gushing geothermal vent of steam. On the other side there was a large timber yard, heavy timber stacked high. It occurred to me that I was looking at a perfect spoonerism. A steam bore and a beam store.

When I first moved to the small (then) town of Sumner, WA before the time of digital catalogues in libraries, I inquired about a book called "Old Forts of the Far West" (Herbert M Hart) and, of course, spoonered those two "F" words. The kindly little old lady at the desk issued me a library card anyway and found me the book.

Interesting that this word should show up Monday. Just Sunday, as I was unpacking my son's lunch tote, I asked him if he had used his "spork" or "fooner". Later, I explained to him that there was a word for mixing up the initial letter of two words: "foonerism". He didn't seem to enjoy the pun .

British comedian Ronnie Barker was a master of wordplay, with spoonerisms being a favourite.
Here's an example
Another sketch ended with the words 'I can't spoon your standerisms any longer!'

Repetitive typo spooners in my own language.
One wrong key hit changes a letter's ending from "tot ziens' to "tot zoens" ( "be seeing you" to "be kissing you").
Or from "hartelijke groet" to "haterlijke" groet".
( "warmhearted greetings" to "hateful greetings"). A one hit difference between friendship and love and love and hatred.

I am thrilled to know that there is a "word" for my affliction! Even as a young person I would flip sounds around. Yew Nork was a favorite place to visit! Even now as a 50 something adult, I create spoonerisms nearly every day......

Please give me some advice/input! My DS who is the equivalent of an 8-month-old gags and even sometimes throws up when I try to feed him my homemade applesauce - but loves the storebought baby stuff.
I've tried a couple different varieties of apples - McIntosh, Jonathan, Jonagold - and get the same reaction. I peel and core the apples, cook them without sugar and puree it in the food processor after cooking. It doesn't seem like it's the texture.... is it the tartness? Should I keep trying? Or maybe add cinnamon?
I know babies can reject food 8-10 or more times before accepting it, but the whole gagging phenomenon is very strange to me...

Thank you Ladies so much for the support and ideas. I have been quite diligent over the past few days, using compression, hot/cold compresses & reverse-pressure-softening and a hospital grade pump to try to get out anything the baby isn't getting out, waking baby to nurse, taking Lecithin & fish oil & homemade broth & motrin!
I feel I've been doing all I can but just had weigh-ins at day 7 and day 8 (today) and baby's weight has been at a stand still (neither losing or gaining) since day 4.
Doctors said it was time for formula, 6-8 ounces a day.
Can a weight plateau for 4 days possibly be normal around the time my milk has come in and I am trying to clear up remaining engorgement and clogs????
Doctors said baby looks great in all other ways- looks healthy, zero jaundice at any point, behaves well, poos and pees have improved, but he is Not Gaining.
Can I hold off another couple of days on the formula? I want what is best for baby, and doctors want Weight Gain immediately. But I am scared formula, any at all, is going to make life much harder getting a good supply going.
What is the risk of not gaining weight all these days? develomental problems? Brain not growing?!?!??!

This is a really great whole wheat pasta. I saw that Dr Greger used this pasta so I tried to track it down and was thrilled to see they stocked it at iherb. It cooks up really nicely and does not taste like usual whole wheat pasta, Ill be buying this in the future!
Makes whole wheat pasta taste better than any old white flour pasta you've had. This is one of the best pastas of any type. Bionaturae makes pretty much any type of pasta you will need - and it's organic and whole wheat.

Future Fund
As this year's legislative session nears its end, it is encouraging to see that West Virginia Senate President Jeff Kessler's Future Fund bill appears to be on its way to becoming law.
The legislation would set aside a portion of future increases in the state's natural gas severance tax revenue in a permanent investment fund. This fund could bring in an estimated $127 million by the end of fiscal year 2019, according to information from the West Virginia Center on Budget & Policy. Lawmakers could begin spending the fund's annual interest for projects or a bond issue in 2020.
The Future Fund bill, already approved by the state Senate, cleared an important hurdle this week when it passed out of the House Judiciary Committee. Its next stop is House Finance, and if all goes well there, the bill will go before the full House for final approval.
But that's not to say something couldn't happen in the session's final days. By midnight Saturday, when the session officially closes, it's possible the legislation either could be changed dramatically or simply get caught up in the wake of other legislation.
That can't be allowed to happen. Far too often, this state's leaders make short-sighted decisions without an eye to the future. The stakes today simply are too high to ignore.
That's why it's imperative that Northern Panhandle House members support the bill and continue to push it toward a vote.
Consider this: If a similar future fund had been established in 1970 with a portion of coal severance tax increases, it would have an $8 billion balance today, Kessler has said. The annual interest from such a fund likely would be enough to pay for the entire $6 billion worth of road projects needed statewide in less than a decade. That type of financial security is hard to ignore.
"History need not be destiny," Kessler wrote in a message to his legislative colleagues upon introducing the legislation.
Indeed. But as history has shown, it won't surprise anyone if the Future Fund bill hits a snag in the next few days. For the sake of our state's future, that can't be allowed to happen. The region's delegates need to keep the push on to pass the Future Fund bill.

It's a memory that comes with the first day of school, and people like Melissa Rosales want to ensure that every child is able to have this memory.
She and her coworkers from the family base services department of Child Protective Services are working with the Beeville Vineyard to gather school supplies for the needy children in Bee County.
"There are some that know that is all they are going to get. They are excited to have it," she said.
On Friday, Rosales and her coworkers went shopping on their own time for backpacks, pens, paper and the other necessities these youngsters will need.
The money they used came from donations made to the Vineyard. They aren't taking donations themselves. They are just helping with the shopping.
In all, they bought about 20 backpacks and supplies.
But this isn't near enough to fill the need of the community.
"The Vineyard is in great need," Rosales said.
Just Tuesday morning, about five youngsters walked into the Vineyard in need of supplies.
"It is going to go quickly," she said.
Along with school supplies, the charity organization also needs clothes and shoes.
"Some kids don't have any clothes to go back to school with," Rosales said.
Lupe Sanchez, who heads the Vineyard, said that they have received a multitude of calls from parents asking about supplies.
"We only have a few school supplies, and we will give them out as far as they will go," she said.
Right now, they are focusing on collecting only for elementary through sixth grade.
The school supply list is long — four bottles of glue, two boxes of crayons, pencils, markers and eight glue sticks — and that is only a partial list for kindergarten.
"I don't see how families can afford to get ready for school," Sanchez said.
Rosales said that she and her coworkers have been volunteering the past couple of years as a way to help out Sanchez and the Vineyard.
"It is all of us," she said of the effort. "It is not just me."
Her office oftentimes works hand in hand with the Vineyard because of the services they provide.
"Everybody goes over that is going through hard times," she said.
With donations down this year, she is using her day off to solicit money from various businesses around town.
"Someone donated a generous amount, like $500, last year," she said. "This year, we have very few donations."
But Rosales is persistent and wants to ensure that they are able to get enough supplies for every needy child.
They even received a few donations while they shopped last week for this first round of supplies.
"I was talking to a lady, and she donated $20, and another lady donated $15," Rosales said.
She doesn't know what she will get from people and businesses but hopes it is enough. If not, she will continue on asking for help on behalf of the Vineyard.
"I am going to do the walking," she said.
Donations, either of supplies or money, can be made to the Vineyard at 210 N. Monroe St. or by calling 361-358-7500.

While the new OPTIMA V2 shares the name of its popular predecessor,
the "Version 2" gun has a completely different design in many ways.
Modeled after CVA's top-of-the-line ACCURA V2, the OPTIMA V2 features
the same trigger-guard actuated breeching lever, internal parts, and
"neutral center-of-gravity" trigger. Add in CVA's Quick Release Breech

more quality features than any other muzzleloading rifle in its price

Steven Higgs: Another antivaccine reporter like Dan Olmsted in the making?
April is National Autism Awareness Month, and as of today April is nearly half over. Do you notice anything different compared to the last couple of years? I do. Can you guess what it is?
The anti-vaccine movement's usual suspects haven't been all over the mainstream media, as they usually are this time every year, often as early as April 1 or even March 31. In fact, over the last couple of years I had come to dread April 1, not because it's April Fools' Day (although the things that made me dread that particular day were often indistinguishable from an April Fools' Day prank, so full of idiocy were they), but rather the expected carpet bombing of the media by the likes of Jenny McCarthy, J. B. Handley, and their ilk, some or all of whom would show up on various talk shows to spread their propaganda that vaccines cause autism. For instance, last year Jenny McCarthy and her former boyfriend Jim Carrey showed up on Larry King Live! with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel (her co-author on her latest book of autism quackery) and J. B. Handley, the last of whom even contributed a guest post on Larry King's blog, in which he touted an incredibly bad, pseudoscientific "study" commissioned by Generation Rescue. The "study" (and calling it a "study" is way too generous) was no more than cherry-picked random bits of data twisted together into a pretzel of nonsense, as I described. Around the same time, Jenny McCarthy was interviewed by TIME Magazine, an interview in which she uttered these infamous words:
I do believe sadly it's going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe. If the vaccine companies are not listening to us, it's their fucking fault that the diseases are coming back. They're making a product that's shit. If you give us a safe vaccine, we'll use it. It shouldn't be polio versus autism.
Soon after, Generation Rescue created a website called Fourteen Studies, which they promoted hither, thither, and yon. The idea of the website was to attack the main studies that failed to find a link between vaccines and autism and to promote the pseudoscientific studies that anti-vaccinationists like. In 2008, it was pretty much the same — well, worse, even. When she appeared on Larry King Live! with our old "friend," anti-vaccine pediatrician to the stars, Dr. Jay Gordon, McCarthy shouted down real experts by yelling, "Bullshit!" (behavior trumpeted by Rachel Sklar of the Huffington Post).
This year? Oddly enough (and to me unexpectedly), there's been almost nothing. J.B. Handley seems to be the man who wasn't there. Well, not quite. It turns out that J. B. Handley has managed to get a little bit of fawning media attention, but just a little bit, in the form of an interview in The Bloomington Alternative entitled J. B. Handley: It's unequivocal; vaccines hurt some kids. Apparently Mr. Handley has come down quite a bit in the world. Where's his appearance with Jenny on Larry King Live! this year? Maybe it's coming in the second half of the month. Or maybe the mainstream media, in the wake of the fall of Andrew Wakefield, have finally figured out how disreputable Generation Rescue is when it comes to vaccines. In the meantime Steven Higgs will have to do as a new mouthpiece for the anti-vaccine movement.

Miss Dior Classic is by far one of the very best fragrances known and has been my favorite for over 30 years. The newer renditions of Miss Dior simply don't measure up to the Classic. I was pleased with the quick delivery and exceptional price savings from Frangrancenet.
Written by Anonymous on March 15, 2015
I have been wearing Miss Dior Classic since the 1960's. It's my signature fragrance. I'm constantly asked "what are you wearing, it smells so good"., and it's usually men who ask. Thank you for making it available in the US.

The Federal Aviation Administration will delay the closures of 149 unfunded federal contract air traffic control towers until June 15, the agency announced Friday.
The FAA said last month it would eliminate funding for these towers as part of the agency's required $637 million in forced spending cuts.
Tower closures had been scheduled to begin Sunday and were to have been phased in over four weeks, the FAA said.
