ANTHONY R. TURNER,PLAINTIFF,v.WARDEN SALINAS, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On July 8, 2011, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. Plaintiff has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.
The magistrate judge recommended that defendant Vertinelli be dismissed because he could not be served. In his objections, plaintiff alleges that although this defendant wore a name tag stating that his name was "Sergeant Vertinelli," his true name is Sergeant Martinez. Plaintiff states that he recently discovered this information.
Plaintiff must file an amended complaint accompanied by a motion for leave to file an amended complaint if he wishes to correct the name of defendant Vertinelli. In the motion to amend, plaintiff must address why he only recently discovered the true name of this defendant.
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The findings and recommendations filed July 8, 2011 (ECF No. 66), are ADOPTED in full; and
2. Defendant Vertinelli is DISMISSED.

Mario Kart 9!!! is a racing game developed by Nintendo EAD, and is the Ninth instalment in the Main Mario Kart series and, including the arcade games, the twelfth overall. The game is for the Nintendo NX and is also a follow up to Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8. And uses the anti gravity segments from the previous game. A prominent new addition is Subterranean Racing which allows racers to drill underground and race through a huge underground world. The game features more detail on the retro courses which appear more redesigned than their original appearances but most of them don't use Subterranean segments.
The gameplay maintains the traditional elements of previous Mario Kart games, mostly Mario Kart 7. During the race, racers can pick up Items from Item Boxes where the probability of receiving items is dependent on the racers' distance from the frontrunner. The game returns with the traditional eight-driver race like in previous installments, instead of the total of twelve as seen in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8.
Similar to preceding games, an overall "game ranking" of ★, ★★, or ★★★ is shown next to the player's nationality flag if the player has earned the designated ratings in all cups and in all classes. The overall ranking can also be seen while participating at a Grand Prix. The game shows the overall ranking at the results of the last course before the overall results of the last cup being shown.
Subterranean Racing plays and important role in this game. During a race, racers will encounter a crack in the ground and a yellow line. using the drill attached to the front of the kart the racers can drill into the ground. This idea was planned for Mario Kart 8 but was scrapped because the designers of the game thought the idea wasn't really interesting so they scrapped it entirely.
Most modes from previous instalments return, but new modes are introduced. Most of the new modes are available in single player, multiplayer and online multiplayer.
Grand Prix
Mario Kart 9!!!'s Grand Prix works similar to past instalments especially Mario Kart 8. Like past games the 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc engine classes are available by default, and completing 150cc unlocks Mirror and 200cc for the former three, however, Grand Prix rankings carry over to the lower engine classes after being completed on a higher engine class. Players choose a cup, which takes them through four consecutive races of set order in that cup. Only the Mushroom and Shell Cups are available at the start of the game, with the others being unlocked after completing the cup before, and are available in every engine class after being unlocked.
Time Trials
Time Trial mode lets the player complete a selected course in the fastest time possible. Among the other features, in addition to viewing ghost data players can upload their own ghost data onto Miiverse, which other players can download and comment on. In addition, beating one of Nintendo's Staff Ghosts in a race earns the player a stamp based on the course they raced on which they can use in Miiverse posts.
VS Mode
VS mode can be played locally with up to four players. Players can set rules like which items appear, the difficulty level of the CPUs, how many races, and Team or Solo racing. Players can also set how the courses appear, choose a course after one is finished, or play all tracks randomly or in order. In this game, Mirror Mode appears as a default engine class, even if it isn't unlocked in Grand Prix. The point system is the same as the Grand Prix.
Battle Mode
1-4 Players
Unlike the previous game, players can choose one of four types of Battle available for play. Unlike the previous instalments, players can change between race courses and Battle Arenas. The game features 10 Battle Arenas and 10 Race Courses.
Balloon Battle
The classic battle style which consists of popping opponents' balloons to score, using the items from the Item Boxes. Hitting a rival is worth a point. Players who lose all of their balloons will have half of their points deducted. Up to three points can be taken away, and the player re-spawns with three balloons.
Coin Runners
In Coin Runners (Coin Battle in the PAL region), racers collect the Coins scattered in the battle course within the time limit of two minutes. The racer that has the most Coins at the end wins. Racers can use the items to hit their opponents and make them drop a maximum of three coins that they have collected. Unlike in Mario Kart 7, players can collect as much coins as they need. Coins collected in this mode do not count toward the coin total to unlock kart parts.
Shell Shock
In Shell Shock, racers use Koopa Shells to hit their opponents in battles and gain points. The racer who has the most points at the end wins. The racer has five minutes to get the most points or else he/she loses.
Boo Banter
In Boo Banter, racers have to avoid six Boos on the battle course or else they will steal their items and use it on them. The racer wins if he/she avoids the Boos.
Online Multiplayer
With the Nintendo NX's online capabilities, players can look for other users for online play, local or global range. Players can choose a worldwide competition to race against other users that are connected, race with friends that were met via StreetPass, or play in communities formed by users with customized rules for the races, just like in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8. When players take part in online races or battles, points are added to or removed from their VR (short for VS Rating) based on their finishing position. The main purpose of VR is determining the skill of players, to match them with players of a similar skill level. Players start with 1000 VR (rather than 5000 VR, as in Mario Kart Wii). Online play in Communities does not use the VR system. Also, a player's VR counts for both races and battles, as opposed to Mario Kart Wii with races affecting VR, and battles affecting BR (Battle Rating).
Mario Kart 9!!! includes 20 total playable characters consisting of 5 default characters, 10 unlockable characters and 5 downloadable.
Starting Drivers
Unlockable Drivers
Downloadable Drivers
As in all Mario Kart games, Mario Kart 9!!! keeps the use of items during the races. Three New Items have been added to the list, being the 1-UP Mushroom, the Pickaxe from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and the Happy Nine.
Items Found On Tracks
|Item Box
|Gives Racers items to use while out runing or knocking out opponents.
|Players receive a small boost and an increase to their top speed. A maximum of 10 can be carried at one time.

New Jersey Supreme Court
Decided: August 9, 1982.
THE NEW JERSEY STATE BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND T. EDWARD HOLLANDER, CHANCELLOR OF THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION, PLAINTIFFS-RESPONDENTS,v.THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SHELTON COLLEGE, GLENN ROGERS AND CARL MCINTIRE, DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS
On certification to the Superior Court, Chancery Division.
For affirmance as modified -- Chief Justice Wilentz, and Justices Pashman, Clifford, Schreiber, Handler, Pollock and O'Hern. For reversal -- None. The opinion of the Court was delivered by O'Hern, J.
[90 NJ Page 473]
Two provisions of New Jersey's education law, N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6, prohibit the conferring of baccalaureate degrees by any institution that has not secured a license from the State Board of Higher Education. We hold that application of these statutes to a sectarian college whose religious doctrine precludes state licensure does not violate the First Amendment.
Shelton College is an institution of higher education operated by the Bible Presbyterian Church as part of the church's religious mission. Members of this fundamentalist Christian church believe that every aspect of their lives, including education, must be governed by their faith. Shelton's teachers and students believe that their presence at the college is for the purpose of preparing themselves and others to undertake missions that
[90 NJ Page 474]
their Lord calls upon them to perform. Religion pervades Shelton College. Every academic subject is taught from a Christian fundamentalist perspective and students must conform their behavior to religiously derived codes of conduct. Shelton College is a school of approximately 30 students, but those who attend it cherish its mission.
The procedural pilgrimage of Shelton College to this point of decision began after the school opened operations in New Jersey in the 1950's under a temporary license issued by the State. In 1965, the State Board of Education passed a resolution proposing to terminate Shelton's power to confer baccalaureate degrees because the college had failed to comply with certain minimum requirements. Shelton appealed the Board's action, challenging the constitutionality of N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6, the statutes that regulate the award of baccalaureate degrees. Shelton College v. State Bd. of Ed., 48 N.J. 501 (1967) (Shelton I). Specifically, Shelton asserted that (1) any state regulation of baccalaureate degrees abridges the right of free speech guaranteed by the New Jersey and Federal Constitutions; (2) the licensing statute effected an overbroad delegation of legislative power to an administrative agency, in violation of the New Jersey Constitution; and (3) the legislation deprived Shelton of equal protection of law because it contained limited exemptions for institutions that had the authority to confer academic degrees prior to 1887. Id.
The Court upheld the statutes against Shelton's constitutional attacks and affirmed the action of the State Board of Education. Central to the Court's decision was its discussion of the bachelor's degree and the State's interest in preserving the degree's integrity. Chief Justice Weintraub carefully traced the history of New Jersey legislation relating to the granting of baccalaureate degrees, and concluded that
Thus, Shelton I held that the State has a substantial interest in regulating the bachelor's degree and that it may constitutionally prohibit the granting of such degrees by unlicensed institutions.
In 1971, after Shelton I and the conclusion of related litigation, In Re Shelton College, 109 N.J. Super. 488 (App.Div.1970), the State Board of Higher Education revoked Shelton's temporary license to award degrees in New Jersey. Shelton College moved its operations to Florida where it obtained a license to confer bachelor's degrees in that state. It has continued to operate there up to the present time and, as late as May 1981, applied to Florida officials for renewal of its license.
In February of 1979, Shelton College submitted a new application to the New Jersey State Board of Higher Education, seeking authorization to award baccalaureate degrees in Biblical Literature, Christian Education, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, English, History, Business Management, Music Education and Natural Science. Before it secured such authorization, however, Shelton began to offer credit-bearing courses in New Jersey that it represented would lead to a bachelor's degree. On November 15, 1979, the State Board of Higher Education brought suit in the Superior Court, Chancery Division, alleging that Shelton's New Jersey operations violated N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 which prohibit the conferring of degrees or the furnishing of instruction for the purpose of conferring degrees, except by licensed institutions. The State Board sought an injunction restraining Shelton from engaging in any form of educational instruction, offering any credits, or granting any degrees until it obtained a license authorizing it to do so. The Chancery Court granted a preliminary injunction to that effect.
On November 19, 1979, Shelton College and various students and faculty members instituted an action under 42 U.S.C.
[90 NJ Page 476]
§ 1983 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The federal plaintiffs alleged that application of the New Jersey licensing statutes to Shelton College violated rights guaranteed them by the First, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. They sought both declaratory and injunctive relief.
The District Court issued a preliminary injunction, enjoining the State from taking any action to prevent Shelton College from engaging in religious teaching or educational activities, or from publicizing or advertising these activities.*fn1 Although the court granted partial injunctive relief to the federal plaintiffs, it abstained from deciding whether the New Jersey licensing statutes apply to religious institutions, such as Shelton College. The District Court stayed the federal action to permit the state courts to resolve this issue.
In February 1980, the State Board appealed the District Court's order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and the federal plaintiffs cross-appealed. While the federal appeal was pending, the state court action proceeded to trial in June 1980. At this trial Shelton College presented its federal constitutional claims. The Superior Court upheld the constitutionality of the licensing statutes as applied to Shelton College and on December 10, 1980 entered a permanent injunction which, among other things, restrained the college from awarding course credits or degrees in New Jersey without a license from the State Board of Higher Education. Shelton filed notice of appeal to the Appellate Division.
On April 14, 1981, a divided Third Circuit upheld the Federal District Court's order granting injunctive relief, and approved the court's decision to stay further federal proceedings pending completion of the state court action. On May 18, 1981, the District Court entered a revised preliminary injunction that
[90 NJ Page 477]
prohibited the State Board of Higher Education from enforcing or implementing the Superior Court's order of December 10, 1980, "until such time as the Supreme Court of New Jersey definitively construes the New Jersey statutes and regulations which are the subject of this action." New Jersey-Philadelphia Presbytery of the Bible Presbyterian Church v. New Jersey State Board of Higher Education, 514 F. Supp. 506, 515 (1981). We directly certified the matter on petition of the parties. 88 N.J. 500 (1981).*fn2
Before addressing the constitutional issues raised by this appeal, we first consider whether N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 apply to religious institutions such as Shelton College. Read literally, these statutes clearly encompass Shelton College. They require that all institutions -- regardless of religious character or affiliation -- obtain a license before offering degree programs or conferring degrees. Nonetheless, defendants urge us to adopt a narrowing construction of these statutes -- excluding Shelton from their ambit -- so as to avoid the constitutional issues that otherwise would emerge. Defendants suggest that this result could be achieved by employing a standard of statutory construction announced by the United States Supreme Court in NLRB v. Catholic Bishop of Chicago, 440 U.S. 490, 99 S. Ct. 1313, 59 L. Ed. 2d 533 (1979). In that case the court declared that any interpretation of a statute that "would give rise to serious constitutional questions" must be rejected unless the construction is compelled by "the affirmative
[90 NJ Page 478]
intention of the Congress clearly expressed." Id. at 501, 99 S. Ct. at 1319, 59 L. Ed. 2d at 541. Applying this standard, the Court held that the National Labor Relations Act does not extend to lay teachers employed by parochial schools, even though the act's general terms include such employees. The Court concluded that application of the National Labor Relations Act to church-operated schools would implicate the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment but that there existed no affirmative expression of legislative intent sufficient to compel the constitutionally troublesome interpretation of the act.
Four dissenting justices assailed the Court's opinion, stating that the majority had "seemingly invented . . . a canon of statutory construction . . . for the purposes of deciding this case." The dissent would have adhered to the principle of statutory construction set out in Machinists v. Street, 367 U.S. 740, 81 S. Ct. 1784, 6 L. Ed. 2d 1141 (1961):
"When the validity of an act of Congress is drawn in question, and even if a serious doubt of constitutionality is raised, it is a cardinal principle that this Court will first ascertain whether a construction of the statute is fairly possible by which the question may be avoided." Crowell v. Benson, 285 U.S. 22, 62 [52 S. Ct. 285, 296] 76 L. Ed. 598, 619. [ Id. at 749, 750, 81 S. Ct. at 1789, 1790, 6 L. Ed. 2d at 1150 (emphasis added)].
The dissent concluded that
Under New Jersey law, a challenged statute will be construed to avoid constitutional defects if the statute is "reasonably susceptible" of such construction. State v. Profaci, 56 N.J. 346, 350 (1970); Woodhouse v. Woodhouse, 17 N.J. 409, 416 (1955). Thus, our standard for construing statutes of uncertain constitutionality closely resembles the principle of construction advocated by the dissent in Catholic Bishop. But even if we were to accept the broader standard elaborated by the Catholic
[90 NJ Page 479]
Bishop majority, we would still be constrained to find that the New Jersey licensing statutes apply to Shelton College.
The Legislature's intent with regard to these statutes is clear and unambiguous. N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 speak in absolute terms. They prohibit the granting of baccalaureate degrees by any institution that has not secured a license from the State Board of Higher Education. The sole exception to this regulatory scheme appears in N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6. There the Legislature expressly exempted institutions that were operating on April 1, 1887 by virtue of special legislative grant. See L. 1912, c. 315; Shelton I, supra, 48 N.J. at 507. No such exemption was created for sectarian colleges. Nor does the legislative history even hint at an intent to exclude religious schools from the scope of these statutes. To the contrary, the history of the higher education licensing provisions demonstrates a legislative intent to regulate the conferring of baccalaureate degrees by religious as well as secular institutions. See Id. at 509-16.
The first higher education "approval" statute, entitled "An Act to prescribe the terms and conditions under which degrees may be conferred by any school or institution of learning within this State," was adopted in 1912. L. 1912, c. 315. This legislation did not, however, mark the State's first involvement with the bachelor's degree. Prior to 1912 the Legislature passed several special acts of incorporation that authorized a number of secular and sectarian institutions to confer baccalaureate degrees. Passage of these acts evidenced the Legislature's belief that even a sectarian college's power to confer degrees could be conditioned on state authorization. There is no reason to infer that the Legislature's view in this regard changed before passage of L. 1912, c. 315. We must assume therefore that when the Legislature adopted L. 1912, c. 315, it was aware of the existence of religiously oriented colleges. We must also assume that the Legislature understood that such institutions would come within the literal terms of the statute. Yet, although the act included an express exemption clause, it contained no exemption for religious colleges.
[90 NJ Page 480]
Related provisions of New Jersey education law supply further evidence of legislative intent. Thus N.J.S.A. 18A:68-2 provides that seminaries and schools of theology may grant bachelor's degrees "subject to the provisions of this chapter.' (Emphasis added.) This statute appears in Chapter 68 of the education laws, together with the licensing statutes.
The current statutory scheme also confirms that the Legislature affirmatively intended to regulate the conferring of degrees by religious institutions. In 1966, the Legislature created a Department of Higher Education, the office of Chancellor of Higher Education, and a Board of Higher Education. L. 1966, c. 302, §§ 1, 2 (see now N.J.S.A. 18A:3-1, -6, -20). The Board has been given broad authority over the system of higher education in this State. N.J.S.A. 18A:3-13. See, Association of New Jersey State College Faculties v. Dungan, 64 N.J. 338 (1974). Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:3-13, it is the duty of the Board "to advance long-range planning for the system of higher education as a whole in the State." (Emphasis added.) Religious oriented colleges and universities comprise a significant proportion of the institutions of higher learning in this State. If such institutions were permitted to reject even minimal state regulation, the legislative intent manifested by these education laws would be defeated.
Finally, the practice relative to N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 has been to apply the licensing requirements to all degree-granting institutions, regardless of religious affiliation. The Legislature has acquiesced in this long-standing practice. This is strong evidence that the current application of these statutes conforms to legislative intent. See, Division of Taxation v. Body-Rite, 89 N.J. 540 (1982).
In summary, we see no basis to infer that the Legislature intended to exempt Shelton College and like institutions from the requirements of N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6. We construe statutes in accord with the Legislature's intent, even if to do so will give rise to substantial constitutional
[90 NJ Page 481]
questions. We hold that N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 apply to Shelton College.
We turn now to defendants' claim that application of N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 to Shelton College unconstitutionally infringes upon the free exercise of their religion. Decisions in cases such as this regrettably involve courts in an examination of religious practices and inevitably call for "a delicate balancing of important but conflicting interests." Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205, 237, 92 S. Ct. 1526, 1544, 32 L. Ed. 2d 15, 38 (1972) (White, J., concurring). In this case we must decide whether the State's interest in regulating academic degrees constitutionally justifies the burden that such regulation may impose on defendants' freedom to hold and practice their religious beliefs.
We begin by determining whether application of the statutory licensing requirements to Shelton College interferes with the free exercise of defendants' religion. Defendants profess as a principle of their faith that the Bible commands the separation of church and state. Recently, the Bible Presbyterian Church interpreted this religious precept as prohibiting Shelton College from submitting to licensure by the New Jersey Board of Higher Education. We note, however, that defendants did apply for renewal of Shelton's Florida license subsequent to their espousal of this scriptural interpretation.
Although the First Amendment wisely prohibits courts from questioning the validity of religious beliefs, United States v. Ballard, 322 U.S. 78, 64 S. Ct. 882, 88 L. Ed. 1148 (1944), it does not preclude judicial inquiry into the sincerity of those who claim exemption on religious grounds from a law of general application. Id. Despite defendants' apparently inconsistent adherence to the asserted religious tenet, however, we decline to inquire into their sincerity on the record before us. Rather, we shall assume, for purposes of this appeal, that licensure of
[90 NJ Page 482]
Shelton College would conflict with a principle of defendants' religion.
Accepting this assumption, the Board of Higher Education nonetheless maintains that application of N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 to Shelton College does not abridge defendants' Free Exercise rights. The Board points out that even if enforcement of those statutes against Shelton causes the college to close, no direct interference with religious practice occurs because defendants' religion does not require attendance at Shelton College.
This argument undervalues the constitutional right to exercise one's religion freely. The First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom protects against more than direct state proscription of religious practices. See, e.g., Cantwell v. Connecticut, 310 U.S. 296, 60 S. Ct. 900, 84 L. Ed. 1213 (1940). Any state action that unduly burdens the free exercise of religion violates the First Amendment. Thomas v. Review Bd. Indiana Emp. Sec. Div., 450 U.S. 707, 101 S. Ct. 1425, 67 L. Ed. 2d 624 (1981); Wisconsin v. Yoder, supra, 406 U.S. at 220, 92 S. Ct. at 1535, 32 L. Ed. 2d at 28; Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398, 404, 83 S. Ct. 1790, 1794, 10 L. Ed. 2d 965, 970 (1963). Even facially neutral legislation may give rise to a burden on religion if, as applied to a particular religious sect, it forces individuals to choose between abandoning their religious beliefs or sacrificing an important government benefit.
Where the state conditions receipt of an important benefit upon conduct proscribed by a religious faith or where it denies such a benefit because of conduct mandated by religious belief, thereby putting substantial pressure on an adherent to modify his behavior and to violate his beliefs, a burden on religion exists. [ Thomas v. Review Bd. Indiana Emp. Sec. Div., supra, 450 U.S. at 717-18, 101 S. Ct. at 1432, 67 L. Ed. 2d at 634].
In Thomas a Jehovah's Witness refused on religious grounds to accept work building weapons. Indiana officials rejected Thomas' application for unemployment compensation, ruling that he had failed without good cause to accept employment and was therefore ineligible to receive benefits. Thus, Indiana's
[90 NJ Page 483]
unemployment compensation law effectively forced Thomas to choose between his faith and financial benefits that he may well have needed to subsist. The Supreme Court held that imposition of this choice violated the Free Exercise clause of the First Amendment.
In an analogous manner, N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 require defendants to choose between a tenet of their religion and the privilege of conferring baccalaureate degrees. Clearly the dilemma that New Jersey's education law poses for defendants is not as cruel or coercive as was the choice thrust upon Thomas by the Indiana Unemployment Compensation Act. Nevertheless, we must conclude that the New Jersey licensing statutes, as applied to Shelton College, impose some burden on the exercise of religion.
This conclusion does not, however, terminate the inquiry. Not all burdens on religion are unconstitutional. United States v. Lee, U.S. , 102 S. Ct. 1051, 71 L. Ed. 2d 127 (1982); Prince v. Massachusetts, 321 U.S. 158, 64 S. Ct. 438, 88 L. Ed. 645 (1944); Smith v. Ricci, 89 N.J. 514 (1982). Legislation that impedes the exercise of religion may be constitutional if there exists no less restrictive means of achieving some overriding state interest.*fn3 Thus, in United States v. Lee, supra, the Court held that although the Amish believe it sinful not to provide for their own elderly and needy and therefore are religiously opposed to the national social security system, they must nevertheless withhold, report and pay social security taxes on their employees. The Court said:

The conclusion that there is a conflict between the Amish faith and the obligations imposed by the social security system is only the beginning, however, and not the end of the inquiry. Not all burdens on religion are unconstitutional. The state may justify a limitation on religious liberty by showing that it is essential to accomplish an overriding governmental interest. [ United States v. Lee, supra, U.S. at , 102 S. Ct. at 1055, 71 L. Ed. 2d at 132 (citations omitted)].
The legislation at issue here advances the State's interest in ensuring educational standards and maintaining the integrity of the baccalaureate degree. Chief Justice Weintraub amply described the depth and importance of this interest from medieval times to the present in Shelton I, supra, 48 N.J. at 510-15. We need not reconstruct that discussion here. That Court's views may be summarized:
Whatever the reason for the modest governmental activity in this area, it was not for doubt as to the power of the States to act. In Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 4 Wheat. 518, 634, 4 L. Ed. 629, 658 (1819), in which the charter of incorporation was held to be a contract the State could not undo, Chief Justice Marshall said, in axiomatic style:
"That education is an object of national concern, and a proper object of legislation, all admit." [48 N.J. at 510-11].*fn4
Shelton's education expert testified that the bachelor's degree has been severely devalued by recent trends in education and that therefore the State currently has no significant interest in regulating the award of such degrees. Other educators have earnestly urged the contrary. In their amicus brief to this Court, the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities
[90 NJ Page 485]
of New Jersey*fn5 maintained that "there is a general expectation that institutions permitted to award degrees in this State will at least meet basic standards of educational integrity." Amicus stressed the importance of maintaining the value and integrity of academic degrees, and expressed the fear that, if such degrees are permitted to erode in value, "if there no longer can be a presumption of minimum standards -- then students, educational institutions and the public will be harmed."
In addition, the legislation supports the State's purpose of protecting students, as potential consumers of higher education, from substandard education. It allows them to assume by virtue of a school's ability to grant degrees that it meets certain minimum standards.
That maintenance of minimum educational standards in all schools constitutes a substantial state interest is now beyond question. See, e.g., Wisconsin v. Yoder, supra; Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602, 91 S. Ct. 2105, 29 L. Ed. 2d 745 (1971); Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 268 U.S. 510, 45 S. Ct. 571, 69 L. Ed. 1070 (1925). Nothing in this record persuades us to the contrary. The Legislature has attached great importance to the fulfillment of these goals. We have no doubt of that legislative appraisal and conclude that the New Jersey licensing statutes are supported by a strong state interest in maintaining minimum academic standards and preserving the basic integrity of the baccalaureate degree.
Having reached this conclusion, we must now decide whether granting defendants a religious exemption from the licensing statutes would significantly hinder attainment of the state interest. If so, the statutes present the least restrictive means of fulfilling an overriding governmental interest and, as such, do not abridge defendants' rights of religious freedom. U.S. v. Lee, supra, U.S. at , 102 S. Ct. at 1056, 71 L. Ed. 2d at 133.
[90 NJ Page 486]
In New Jersey, the conferring of a baccalaureate degree connotes that certain minimum standards have been met by the issuing institution, and that the degree recipient has attained at least a basic level of academic proficiency. To this extent the value of academic degrees from New Jersey institutions traces directly to state regulation. Thus, by claiming a complete exemption from all state regulation defendants in effect ask that they be given a benefit without having to accept the correlative burden. In this sense, if the First Amendment requires that Shelton be permitted to confer degrees without a license, it must also require that unemployment compensation be disbursed to individuals who for religious reasons refuse to accept any employment whatsoever. Sherbert expressly warned that the First Amendment compels no such result. Id., 374 U.S. at 409-10, 83 S. Ct. at 1796-97, 10 L. Ed. 2d at 974.
Sherbert, Thomas and Yoder all hold that religious exemptions from neutral legislation must be provided where uniform enforcement of the legislation will unduly impinge upon the exercise of religion. But, as the Court in U.S. v. Lee, supra, recognized, the First Amendment does not require the provision of religious exemptions where accommodation would significantly interfere with the attainment of an overriding state interest. Such a requirement, the Court observed, would "radically restrict the operating latitude of the Legislature." Id. at , 102 S. Ct. at 1056, 71 L. Ed. 2d at 134 (quoting Braunfeld v. Brown, 366 U.S. 599, 606, 81 S. Ct. 1144, 1147, 6 L. Ed. 2d 563, 568 (1961)). Commentators have observed that it is when the religious exercise does "not materially affect the working of the secular program" that the free exercise claim is recognized. Freund, "Public Aid to Parochial Schools," 82 Harv.L.Rev. 1680 (1969). See also Clark, "Guidelines for the Free Exercise Clause," 83 Harv.L.Rev. 327 (1969). Here, accommodation of defendants' religious beliefs would entail a complete exemption from state regulation. As noted above, such accommodation would cut to the heart of the legislation and severely impede the achievement of important state goals. Furthermore, if an exemption
[90 NJ Page 487]
were created here, Shelton College would receive an advantage at the expense of those educational institutions that have submitted to state regulation. Such a development would undermine the integrity of the baccalaureate degree, erode respect for the state higher education scheme, and encourage others to seek exemptions. Thus, the uniform application of these licensing requirements is essential to the achievement of the State's interests. See Braunfield v. Brown, supra (state interest in uniform day of rest constitutionally justifies refusal to create religious exemptions to Sunday closing law). See also U.S. v. Lee, supra, U.S. at , 102 S. Ct. at 1057, 71 L. Ed. 2d at 135-36 (Stevens, J., concurring).
In sum, although defendants' freedom of religion may suffer some indirect burden from this legislation, the constitutional balance nonetheless favors the state interest in uniform application of these higher education laws. As the U.S. Supreme Court noted,
When followers of a particular sect enter into commercial activity as a matter of choice, the limits they accept on their own conduct as a matter of conscience and faith are not to be superimposed on the statutory schemes which are binding on others in that activity. [ U.S. v. Lee, supra, U.S. at , 102 S. Ct. at 1057, 71 L. Ed. 2d at 134-35].
We conclude that N.J.S.A. 18A:68-3 and N.J.S.A. 18A:68-6 as applied to Shelton College do not abridge rights guaranteed by the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.
The Establishment Clause requires that a law reflect a secular legislative purpose, have a primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits religion, and avoid excessive entanglement with religion. Committee for Public Education and Religious Liberty v. Regan, 444 U.S. 646, 100 S. Ct. 840, 63 L. Ed. 2d 94 (1980); Committee for Public Education v. Nyquist, 413 U.S. 756, 93 S. Ct. 2955, 37 L. Ed. 2d 948 (1973); Marsa v. Wernik, 86 N.J. 232 (1981); Resnick v. E. Brunswick Tp. Bd. of Ed., 77 N.J. 88 (1978). The secular purpose of the State's program for
[90 NJ Page 488]
higher education is unassailable. Defendants assert, however, that this regulatory scheme creates an excessive state entanglement with religion.
The United States Supreme Court has never questioned a state's interest in insuring, through licensure or accreditation, minimal academic standards in church-operated institutions.*fn6 See, e.g., Pierce v. Society of Sisters, supra. As stated in Lemon v. Kurtzman, supra:
We . . . have surveillance over sectarian schools but only to the extent of making sure that minimum educational standards are met, viz, competent teachers, accreditation of the school for diplomas, the number of hours of work and credits allowed, and so on. . . . Any surveillance to date has been minor and has related only to the consistently unchallenged matters of accreditation of the sectarian school in the State's school system. [403 U.S. at 631, 91 S. Ct. at 2120, 29 L. Ed. 2d at 766 (Douglas, J., concurring) (emphasis supplied)].
The Establishment Clause permits minor, unobtrusive state supervision of religiously oriented schools. Roemer v. Maryland Public Works Bd., 426 U.S. 736, 96 S. Ct. 2337, 49 L. Ed. 2d 179 (1976). Only excessive entanglement is proscribed. None of the education statutes or regulations here in question mandates "active involvement of the sovereign in religious activity." Walz v. Tax Commissioner, 397 U.S. 664, 668, 90 S. Ct. 1409, 1411, 25 L. Ed. 2d 697, 701 (1970). None authorizes state regulation of the content of an educational program. Nor does [90 NJ Page 489] the regulatory scheme on its face require "comprehensive, discriminating and continuing state surveillance."*fn7 Lemon v. Kurtzman, supra, 403 U.S. at 619, 91 S. Ct. at 2114, 29 L. Ed. 2d at 759. Although the regulations in this area, N.J.A.C. 9:1-1 to -2.14, appear to be burdensome, especially as applied to a college of approximately 30 students, they explicitly call for flexibility in their administration so as to accommodate various institutions with diverse educational goals.*fn8 N.J.A.C., Title 9, Foreword. Because Shelton College declined even to complete the licensing
[90 NJ Page 490]
process, the allegation of excessive entanglement rests on speculation about the manner in which these statutes and regulations might be applied. Although one could imagine an unconstitutional application of this regulatory scheme, we are confident that the Board of Higher Education will pursue the least restrictive means to achieve the State's overriding concerns. Of course, should the Board exercise its discretion in a manner that unnecessarily intrudes into Shelton's religious affairs, the college would then be free to challenge the constitutionality of such action. At this juncture, however, we need not invalidate these statutes merely because they may be amenable to an unconstitutional application.
See Village of Hoffman Estates v. Flipside Hoffman Estates Inc., U.S. , 102 S. Ct. 1186, 71 L. Ed. 2d 362 (1982); I/M/O Application of Maria Martin, 90 N.J. 295 (1982).
In sum, we find that the State's program for licensing institutions of higher education is applicable to sectarian institutions and that facially it does not unduly interfere with the free exercise of religion nor create an excessive state entanglement with religion. At the same time, we recognize the good faith with which the students of Shelton College have pursued their educational and religious goals. To accommodate the free exercise interests of the individual students without unduly interfering with the state regulatory program, and in consideration of the difficulty involved in transferring to a different college at the end of three years, we modify the judgment below to allow the awarding of earned credits and degrees to all eligible students through the end of the 1982-83 academic year and to the class of 1984 through the end of the 1983-84 academic year. No other credits or degrees shall be awarded without licensure.
[90 NJ Page 491]
As modified, the judgment of the Chancery Division is affirmed.

There were many rivers in Middle-earth and elsewhere. The largest river was the Great River which flowed from the Misty Mountains to the sea, and passed by Rohan, Gondor and many other lands. During the Third Age, with Mordor in control of Ithilien, it marked the de-facto border between Mordor and Gondor.

Drums: I play a lot. I'm on track to play over 100 gigs in 2015 with a diverse list of about 15 different bands/artists. Everything from Pop-rock to Funk to Metal to Reggae to Jazz...you name it. Being both a drummer and engineer, I do a lot of session drum work for clients. My studio is geared toward capturing amazing drum sounds and I've developed both the playing and engineering skills to provide tight, expressive, expertly recorded drums to countless recordings.
Engineering: Whether it's recording, editing, mixing or mastering, my goal is to help my clients realize their musical vision. I use the tools at my disposal (protools and tons of plug-ins) to help squeeze every last drop of nuance, character, depth and raw emotion out of each production. It's not about turning knobs and twisting dials, it's about being invested.
Technical stuff: For drums, I'm happy to provide fully bounced stereo tracks or the multitrack audio files. File transfers can be handled by any service (dropbox, gobbler, google, etc). File formats (wav, mp3) can be whatever you need. Basically, however you want to work is fine with me.

United States District Court, Ninth Circuit
July 3, 2013
DEWEY STEVEN TERRY, Plaintiff,v.BRAD SMITH; et al., Defendants.
EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.
Dewey Steven Terry, an inmate currently at the San Quentin State Prison, filed this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. His complaint is now before the Court for review under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, which requires the Court to identify any cognizable claims, and dismiss any claims which are frivolous, malicious, fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seek monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. See id. at § 1915A(b).
The complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. The complaint directs the reader to "please see attachment sheet, " Docket # 1, p. 3, for a statement of the claim, but there is no statement of claim attached to the form complaint; instead, there are about 160 pages of miscellaneous exhibits. It is a plaintiff's obligation to write out a complete statement of his claims, rather than to expect the Court to read through exhibits to piece one together for him. Plaintiff will be given leave to amend to file an amended complaint that provides a complete statement of his claims.
In preparing his amended complaint, Plaintiff must allege facts showing the basis for liability for each defendant. To state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, a plaintiff must allege two elements: (1) that a right secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States was violated and (2) that the violation was committed by a person acting under the color of state law. See West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48 (1988). Plaintiff also is cautioned that he needs to link individual defendants to each of his claims. He should not refer to them as a group ( e.g., "the defendants"); rather, he should identify each involved defendant by name and link each of them to his claim by explaining what each involved defendant did or failed to do that caused a violation of his rights. See Leer v. Murphy, 844 F.2d 628, 634 (9th Cir. 1988).[1]
One of the exhibits attached to the complaint is a "civil client agreement between counsel & co-counsel and the grantee's, " Docket # 1, p. 5, that appears to be some sort of fee agreement for plaintiff and another inmate to represent a group of other inmates in this action which they plan to pursue as a class action. Only licensed attorneys may practice law in California. See Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 6126 (criminalizing the unauthorized practice of law). "[A] litigant appearing in propria persona has no authority to represent anyone other than himself." Russell v. United States, 308 F.2d 78, 79 (9th Cir. 1962). Plaintiff's allegations that suggest he wants to pursue a class action are dismissed because pro se prisoner-plaintiffs are not adequate class representatives able to fairly represent and adequately protect the interests of a class. See Oxendine v. Williams, 509 F.2d 1405, 1407 (4th Cir. 1975). Plaintiff may pursue claims only about violations of his own rights, and therefore should confine himself to such allegations in his amended complaint. Any other prisoner who wants to pursue a claim about a violation of his own rights must file his own civil action.
The amended complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted against any defendant. Leave to amend will be granted so that Plaintiff may attempt to state a claim. The amended complaint must be filed no later than August 5, 2013, and must include the caption and civil case number used in this order and the words AMENDED COMPLAINT on the first page. The amended complaint must be a complete statement of his claims. See Lacey v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d 896, 928 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc) ("For claims dismissed with prejudice and without leave to amend, we will not require that they be repled in a subsequent amended complaint to preserve them for appeal. But for any claims voluntarily dismissed, we will consider those claims to be waived if not repled.") Failure to file the amended complaint by the deadline will result in the dismissal of the action for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

Walker Evans might be called the Jackson Pollock of American photography. He took strands of American and European culture, discarded what he didn't want and braided the rest into an indelibly American art. His multifaceted achievement is examined in a small but thorough survey that opens on Sunday at the International Center of Photography.
The show of 89 images, which includes his 1932 photograph ''Child in Backyard,'' above, reflects a remarkable and perceptive dedication to the artist's achievement.

"I saw this pattern and thought it would be great to go in my gift tins for my homemade spa sets for Christmas. I started the pattern but kept having trouble with the puff stitch. When I try to pull through the loop the hook gets stuck and pull a strand or two out making it look un-neat. Is there a way to prevent this? Could it be the yarn I am using?"
"I love this pattern for making dishcloths! It is so simple and it's so easy to remember. It makes a great,durable dishcloth. Does anyone tried this pattern with that new yarn that is made for making dishcloths? I think it might be a rayon blend. I'm going to try it next time I need dishcloths."
"This is a great beginner project, it was easy to follow and gave great instruction. I was able to work up several of these for co-workers who thought it was so cute. I am going to make several more for my home for company to use when they come over and have coffee."
"These spiral beaded trees are so pretty! For extra sparkle, I am going to place a battery tea light candle in the center of the spiral. Several of these trees would look great placed within a strand of twinkle or small rice lights on a mantle or table center piece!"

text: Hi! I just wanted to say that I've been reading over this site and there are tonnes of useful resources and helpful guides, etc.. Awesome resource! Anyway, I've looked but didn't see anything - I've got a hacked iPod 16gb touch, and I can't do the FTP access yet *I have access to a hotel's wifi, but their router disabled port forwarding, so I can't connect to do some of the more advanced file-system hacks* What I DO want to know though is this: With the Installer App, under sources there are 3 sites that are available - AppTapp Official, Conceited Software and Ste Packaging. Are there other sites/resources that are available that can be saved into the ipod for more software for the time being? I figure that there isn't, but didn't know if anyone knows something that I don't in this area Please Register or Log in to view images Thanks, and great site!

Raman spectroscopy has long been applied in geoscience, for example for the identification and characterization of minerals, or in the observation of mineral phase transitions in high and ultra-high pressure/temperature experiments. In most cases because measurements have been carried out in a micro-Raman set up very little detail on the spatial distribution and association components or mineral phases, or chemical variation could be observed. In this application note from WITec, by means of Confocal Raman Imaging such characteristics can be evaluated from large scale scans in the centimeter range to the finest detail with sub-micron resolution.

Obozo is to blame – well, for a lot of things – but in this case because he tried to make a 2% reduction in the rate of increase of government spending sound like the Apocalypse.
He is, in short, nothing but a cheap demagogue.

great place for oysters and the best shuckers in oyster country It also has the best hamburger steak, cheese grits, and salad bar of any place I have been to.
The Fillet Mignon that I had was one of the best I have had. It was tender and served in it's own marinade, no need for steak sauce. I also recommend the blackened potatoes and cheese rolls. YUM!!! We ate in the lounge because we could be seated sooner. The waitress was very quick and nice. My wife got the...
Excellent food at reasonable price!!! Seafood is fresh and well prepared!! Steak is offered if you desire.
We eat at Hunts at least once a week. The food is great and the service is excellent. We always eat in the lounge. The girls there do a great job.
So yummy !! Oysters fresh shucked while you watch. Hotdogs are incredible with all the fixings. Steaks are cooked to order and be sure to come early as the place will get packed since it's so good.
If you are looking for fresh seafood and a great steak, Hunt's is the place for you. Don't expect fancy high scale atmosphere....do expect great service and great food. One of the only local restaurants left in Dothan. Eat Local:)
No matter if we are just passing through, how short our visit or the occasion, a meal at Hunt's is a requirement. After attending my mother's funeral, we knew we had to dine at Hunt's in her memory. Our large group of eleven was seated surprisingly quickly considering it was a very busy Saturday night. With White Russian drinks to...
We have visited here twice, both after eye surgeries for me. We were there in the middle of the afternoon and so it wasn't terribly busy. But is was a little dark which was good for me and they were very friendly and helpful. Most recently I had the shrimp po' boy which was loaded with fried shrimp and came...
Four of us stopped for lunch and we all enjoyed our meals. The catfish fillets were the best. I had the lunch special that was Country Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and gravy, Italian green beans and creamed corn. The service was good.
They serve plenty of food for the price so that you can actually share a plate. Oysters and scallops were my choice and fried to perfection. Excellent choice of side orders.

Chicago Tribune
Manu Chao reaches beyond borders, politics
By Achy Obejas
Special to the Tribune
Published June 24, 2007
The empty Aragon Ballroom in Uptown trembles from the assault of amplified sound; the circle formed on the dance floor by the curved varnished slats looks like a vortex. Midafternoon, hours before the show, it's so hot it's hazy inside.
On the stage, six musicians struggle with the ancient room's acoustics: electric guitar waves ricochet against the artificially starry skies in this desert fantasy. Of the six, all are shirtless but the keyboard player, who pushes his glasses up his slippery nose with a twitchy finger.
Manu Chao is dead center on stage, unmistakable: serious, tattooed and sinewy, his denim pants come midcalf and hang just off his hips, showing just the slightest slope of tanned skin in the back. He stops everyone and tries a chorus in his nasally a cappella but ends up shaking his head.
Later, backstage before the show last week, he sprawls on an imitation-black leather couch and wonders if, maybe, the sold-out crowd won't absorb some of the rougher edges of the noise. He takes off one of his big, white athletic shoes and rubs the stiff muscle on his calf.
« I'm already worried, » he says, hobbling to the bar on his good foot to grab a bottle of water, « because I hurt myself, so I know I won't be as active as I like to be. When I get on stage, I forget, and I hurt myself again. But this time, I haven't taken anything for the pain, so I'll be really aware of it. »
(After the show — a show in which he leaped and bounced with abandon — he'll worry that the public waited more than an hour without being told the concert would start late, that beer was priced too high, that the hall was emptied out unceremoniously after the final note, that the sound never quite bent to his will. « I need to come back to play in Chicago, » he e-mails, « to get this bitter taste out of my mouth. The people who came to see us here were so kind. »)
'La Radiolina'
More than six years after his last studio effort, Chao is on the verge of releasing what he calls his sixth « official » album, « La Radiolina, » currently slated for September. A single, « Rainin in Paradize, » is available now for free download from his personal Web site, www.manuchao.net. « La Radiolina » will feature between 18 and 20 songs in Spanish, French, English, Portuguese and, for the first time, Italian.
« It's a continuation, like all my records, » he explains. « The songs come along and slowly form a whole. There are songs about social issues, about love, about falling out of love, about luck, about borders. »
Borders are Chao's thing; He's all about dealing with them, eliminating them, being honest about them.
« I grew up in a Paris neighborhood that was about 60 percent children of immigrants from Portugal, northern Africa, Armenia. … Immigration — borders — were super-important to all of us. What galls me is the political hypocrisy around this issue. In Europe, the politicians all go on TV and talk about their commitment to battling illegal immigration. But they turn a blind eye — as they must — to all the sectors of the economy that would not exist without illegal immigrants. In Spain, certainly, there would be no agriculture; there would be no construction boom, without paperless immigrants. »
In the years between his so-called official projects, however, he has produced other artists and published a book of poems with a CD accompaniment. He has an entire album in Portuguese that he wants to release sometime.
Given that he's Paris-born of Spanish immigrant parents, why Portuguese?
« I had an opportunity to spend a lot of time in Brazil, » he says. « I think, of all the places that I've traveled, where I feel the most at home, besides the Sahara and northern Africa, that would be Rio. And … and my 8-year-old son is Brazilian. That's part of that too. » And he grins, grins big.
He has also been involved with Radio La Colifata in Buenos Aires, a project run by the inmates of a local psychiatric hospital. (The morning after the Chicago show, the Buenos Aires papers reported that American film director Francis Ford Coppola will cast a Colifata patient in his next movie, to be filmed in the Argentine capital — a prospect that thrills Chao.) He has recorded songs and snippets for the station, and performed with the patients during his tours of the Southern Cone.
20,000 people silent
« The only time I've seen a stadium — 20,000 people — just fall silent, » he recalls, « was when this 70-year-old woman, Esterita — that was her name — just shut everybody up to tell her story. I mean, there was total silence. And then, an ovation. It was amazing. What I want to do now is bring this all up officially, their stories and our music, so they can get their recognition and collect their royalties. That's important. »
He'll travel to Buenos Aires later this year for that. Right now, he's touring North America, an experience he's finding revelatory.
« We're traveling by bus, meeting people, » he says. « In the desert, we slept outside. Our driver had family here in Illinois, and we stopped and spent some time with his relatives in this little town. »
He has been stunned by the many cultures beyond the CNN image of the United States.
In New Orleans, an earlier stop on the tour, Chao was delighted by its familiarity. « We shared so many of the same sensibilities, the same codes, » he says. « They reminded me of my friends in Rio, in Tijuana. They have that dark wit, I love that. But, of course, New Orleans is important for other reasons now too — it's important to see what happened, to understand how authority abandoned them, how it abdicated. »
He says Hurricane Katrina and its aftereffects have become the kind of event that radicalizes people, which alienates them.
« In Barcelona, I get upset with gringo tourists, » he admits. « There is this terrible anti-Americanism at work in Europe right now. And I tell them what I think, and they say, 'I'm with you.' And I say, 'Then what are you doing here? Why are you vacationing in Barcelona instead of protesting in front of the White House?' It's important, though, to make the distinction between a nation's government and its people. There's much good here, I'm finding, so much good here too. »

Compared to the rest of the Greater Portland market, the West Linn submarket has more expensive rates, and you'll have to negotiate above asking rent to be in this hot submarket.
In the last 90 days, 3 listings have been posted online, which means leases might be leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
