A deep, athletic USC basketball team that bared little resemblance to last season made its debut Friday night at Galen Center. And even better, no one accused the Trojans of deflating the basketballs.
It all added up to a successful opener as the Trojans defeated Coppin State 87-73 and answered a few questions about how a team with five transfers looked when it finally played an actual game.
The Trojans were faster, taller and just plain better as coach Kevin O'Neill substituted more in one game than he did in one season during last year's 6-26 debacle.
"I've never had that (much depth) since I've been here," O'Neill said. "We have size, depth, good point-guard depth, scoring. I'd be comfortable starting 14 guys in different situations."
Some of the transfers, notably center Omar Oraby (Rice) and forward Eric Wise (UC Irvine), shined from the outset while others like guard J.T. Terrell (Wake Forest) and forward Ari Stewart (Wake Forest), gave glimpses of why they started their careers in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Oraby was the star because he influenced the game in several ways, with 16 points and six rebounds in only 14 minutes. He wasn't declared eligible by the NCAA until Thursday afternoon.
"Thank goodness he was eligible," O'Neill said.
"It was a gift from God," guard Byron Wesley added.
Terrell finished with 17 points but made only 4 of 14 field goals.
"J.T. is going to shoot much better than he did," O'Neill said.
But the team's depth was the most impressive aspect as O'Neill used 11 players in the first eight minutes and that didn't include forward Renaldo Woolridge (Tennessee), who played only one minute because he can't crack the current 11-man rotation, according to O'Neill.
"There's some guys ahead of him; I can't play everybody," O'Neill said. "As of tonight, he wasn't in the rotation."
The bench gets even deeper when offensive tackle Zach Banner joins the team after football season. It should be a team that exceeds the ninth-place finish in the Pac-12 preseason poll and O'Neill certainly hopes so for job-security purposes.
But it was a returning player that provided the quickest boost as Wesley scored 13 points and made two 3-pointers in the first half. Wesley's perimeter shooting was an issue last season but he made 6 of 10 field goals and three shots from 3-point range and finished with 17 points.
"Last year I only made one 3-point shot and it was a bank shot," Wesley said.
Point guard Jio Fontan also looked lively despite returning from torn knee ligaments. A major difference from two years ago with Fontan was his reluctance to shoot, as he scored four points. Fontan didn't score until 7:40 remained and took only five shots from the field.
"He played pretty well for a first game situation in over a year," O'Neill said. "He's really the heart and soul of our team."
It was obvious USC blended plenty of new players because the Trojans' defense was shaky and the passing was sometimes uncertain. But those are expected problems for a team with eight new players in their first game together.
Coppin State was 14-16 last season but the Trojans couldn't take them lightly. First games sometimes bite the Trojans, with losses to Cal State Northridge (2006) and Mercer (2008).
Freshman guard Patrick Cole led CoppinState with a game-high 24 points.
Also ...
Friday's game was USC's 100 th at Galen Center. The Trojans are 68-32 on their home court. Former USC forward Evan Smith of Calabasas is working as an undergraduate student assistant coach this season.

As we reflect on a landmark year in water planning and prepare for potentially groundbreaking water management legislation in 2012, we need a clear execution strategy to maintain our current momentum and implement initiatives arising from the 2012 Update of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Water Plan, approved last October. With this in mind, the OCWP's priority and supporting recommendations include specific implementation plans, where applicable, that not only provide assurances that citizens have access to safe and reliable water supplies in the future, but also should help minimize water rights conflicts and related disagreements over water use and protection. 4th Quarter 2011 Annual Report of OWRB Activities for 2011 OCWP Update Water Use Permitting Hydrologic Studies Floodplain Management Well Driller Program Water Quality Phosphorus Standard Financial Assistance Legal Developments 2011 Water Conference Drought Update (continued on page 2) (continued on page 2) Annual Report of OWRB Activities for 2011 2012 Update of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Water Plan During the final year of development of the 2012 Update of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Water Plan, the most ambitious water planning effort ever undertaken by the state, the OWRB and its planning partners continued to solicit important input from stakeholders, citizens and others with a vested interest in the future of Oklahoma's water resources. Beginning in April, the OWRB initiated a final round of regional feedback and implementation meetings to gather comments and suggestions on the draft Water Plan and its various components. Open to the general public, each meeting included a unique session allowing public water supply providers to verify local infrastructure data and related water supply and demand information collected over four years of OCWP analyses. A second session provided citizens and other stakeholders with an opportunity to contribute comments on draft water policy recommendations, including implementation strategies. Throughout 2011, OWRB staff and partners assembled a wealth of OCWP technical data and information into 13 Watershed Planning Region Reports. The reports include water supply/ demand assessments, future supply challenges, and potential options to secure water for planning basins and regions through the next 50 years and beyond. Considerable attention was given to creating both sensible and functional planning documents, which will serve as indispensable technical resources for water providers, policy makers, and water users in making informed decisions concerning future local and regional water use and management. Following a public review and comment period, each report was modified, corrected, and refined prior to final collective approval of all 13 reports by OWRB members in October. OWRB members dedicated four monthly meetings to detailed review and discussion of OCWP Water Policy Recommendations—the cornerstone policy product of the OCWP

my questions are-does anyone know what each state tax laws were in 1860. were people actually spending more on state taxes than on federal tariffs-if tariffs were the reason for secession how come no one ever explains that reason in detail. did people have more of a grievance with thier local goverments? i know people in the western part of virginia did. i guess i just want someone to really explain the reason taxes were the cause-thanks for any replies |

150thjourney- A discussion of causes of secession is bound to spark responses in this forum. The role of tariffs and their importance is still debated. Generally, those in the south viewed them as an unfair transfer of wealth from the south to the Federal Government (Its main source of revenue) which had come to favor the interests of those in the north. Here is the view of it from a British subject: "Union means so many millions a year lost to the South; secession means the loss of the same millions to the North. The love of money is the root of this as of many other evils. The quarrel between the North and the South is, as it stands, solely a fiscal quarrel." - Charles Dickens I do not believe the part about it being a solely fiscal quarrel, but that was certainly part of it. Here is a short history of tariffs and the role they played in the political system from the early years of the Republic. 1816-1860: The Second American Party System and the Tariff Disagreements over tariffs can be put in a larger category that could be called: "Sectional differences." By the middle of the 19th century, you had not only north and south, but an emerging west. As their political power diminished, the southerners felt more and more that their interests were being threatened. Those in the south were alarmed by what they saw as continual pressure to expand the powers of the federal government relative to those of the states. They tended to be : "Strict constructionists" in their views of how closely the Constitution should be followed in determining what powers the federal government should have. The issue of what powers the federal government should have is still a hotly debated issue today. By 1860, many in the south believed that the federal government had assumed powers that were not given to it by the Constitution. They felt that the compact that the southern states had made with the others had been violated. Since the states had created the federal government instead of the other way around, they felt that it was their right to sever their connection to it. |

i guess i just want someone to really explain the reason taxes were the cause-thanks for any replies. Texas Defender has already responded better than I can in that many hold that tariffs were a cause and many hold that they were not. This argument has been going on for decades now, and even moreso with the advent of discussion boards. First, let me head off potential misunderstanding: any tax paid was a matter between the states and their people -- there was no Federal Tax. The complaint was with the tariffs, which only the importer paid. Of course, the importer was going to pass along the cost to the end-user. Sometime back, a member did a little math and determined that 1860 total customs paid amounted $1.96 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. With about 9,000,000 souls in the slave states (including slaves) and about 22,000,000 in the free states, the idea that southerners paid a disproportionate amount is difficult to demonstrate. Keep up the seeking. Ole |

If you do a search a few years ago we discussed this at length. One of the problems with the tariff question, which went back 40+ years before the war was the transfer of wealth to the North and it's application to internal improvements that favored the growing industrial base in the North with no or very little improvements in the South. The South did not see the need for either the tariffs or the internal improvements so they became a rallying point for Southern States Rights. Also keep in mind the mindset of may in the South that many of these were actually "perceived threats", not necessarily actual actions. To an extent it was the same thought process with slavery. Where there were actual threats such as the tariffs on English woven goods, to protect the Northern mills, it was done to the detriment of southern slaveholders and their need for cheap cloth. Keep in mind the South produced the raw goods, cotton, but the actual cloth was produced up North and then resold back South at a higher price than could be gotten from English mills. This type of situation really ate at the Southerners. |

Thursday, January 12, 1859HIGH PRESSURE, CONFISCATION AND DESTRUCTION.
The SPEAKER laid before the House the petition of sundry citizens of the counties of Marion and Hancock, praying for a liquor law on the "high pressure, confiscation and destruction principle," which was being read, when -
Mr. KNOWLTON moved that the further reading be dispensed with -
Mr. FIRESTONE moved to refer to the Committee on Military Affairs.
Mr. SCOTT moved that it be tabled, as its terms were disrespectful to the House of Representatives.
Mr. PROSSER proposed to amend by substituting a motion to reject.
Mr. Speaker GORDON said he had had no time to read the petition having received it from one of the most intelligent citizens of the State, who assured him it was from the people of Hancock and Marion. They may have used indecorous language, but certainly no insult could have been intended. I know them - many of them - to be as good men as there are in the State. It might not appear so offensive if it were read well, instead of the slow and faulty manner in which it was begun. I ask that it may take the usual course. I ask it on the part of the signers of the paper whom I know.
A lengthy debate here ensued upon the reference of the petition which occupied nearly the entire morning session. The discussion involved the right of petition, prohibitory laws, the license system, &c., &c.
The SPEAKER decided the motion to reject to be out of order.
Mr. KNOWLTON demanded a division of the questionthe first question being: Shall the petition be received; was decided by yeas 80, nays 16 - Messrs. Keefer, Merrifield, Sullivan and others voting in the negative, because the paper was considered unfit to be read. Pending the next question: Shall the petition be referred to the Committee on Temperance ?
Mr. DOUGHERTY moved to lay the motion and the petition on the table, and the vote resultedyeas 36, nays 62, so the latter motion was rejected.
Mr. BAIRD made an ineffectual motion to refer to a select committee of three.The petition was then referred to the Committee on Temperance.Mr. DAVIS presented the petition of Jared O. Jocelyn, praying for compensation for services, which was referred to the Committee on Fees and Salaries .
Mr. STANFIELD, in conformity with an order of the House, at the extra session, submitted the following report:
MR. SPEAKER :In obedience to the resolution of this House at its special session, I proceeded to Huntington to take the deposition of witnesses in the case mentioned in second resolution. Finding that a full investigation had been had of all the facts in controversy arising in said election in a contest of the seat of a County Commissioner elected at that election, which had been reduced to writing, and eould, by an agreement between the parties, be made applicable as evidence in this cause, I procured such an agreement to be made; and I herewith lay befere the House the evidence taken in pursuance of it, and also the poll books and tally papers of said election in Huntington township, which may be valuable in showing the truth of the fact in controversy. All of which is respectfully submitted.
The report was received and referred to the Committee on Elections.
Mr. DURHAM (by consent) presented the petition of Thomas Johnson, which was referred to the Committee on Claims.
Mr. KNOWLTON, from a majority of the select committee to which was referred Mr. Martin's bill (H. R. 14) to amend the 14th section of the Justices act, reported the same back, with an amendment, inserting appropriately, "or where a defendant or defendants has or have promised in writing to discharge any debt or contract in a township, suit may be commenced either in the township where said defendant promised to discharge the same, or where either of the defendants reside;" and so amended they recommend the passage of the bill.
Mr. MARTIN opposed the adoption of the amendment.
Mr. KNOWLTON explained it.
Mr. LAWHEAD opposed it from the fact that three-fourths of the promissory notes were made at the county seat.
Mr. CAVINS. The bill provides that the assignors of the note shall not be made parties to it. We propose to make an additional amendment: that where a man has promised to pay a note at a particular place, it shall be collectable there, or where he resides.
Mr. MURRAY. The effect of the amendment would be to compel their creditors to sign notes collectable at the county seats. It would break up the business of the Justices of the Peace in rural townships. The proposed change would increase costs in the mileage of constables. Should not we legislate for the benefit of the people at large, rather than those petty office-holders?
Mr. LAWHEAD. The adoption of this amendment would create a necessity for drawing notes, waiving its force.
Mr. HALL, of Rush, also approved the amendment.
The SPEAKER laid before the House a report from the Trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal.
On motion by Mr. EDWARDS, it was laid on the table, and 500 copies thereof be printed for the use of the House of Representatives.
page: 35[View Page 35]CONGRESSIONAL HOMESTEAD.
Mr. STILES asked and obtained leave to introduce a joint resolution (No. 5) viz.:
Resolved,That our legally elected Senators and Representatives in Congress be requested to take such action as may be necessary to give to each of the actual settlers on public lands a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres.
Whereupon -
The SPEAKER, ruling that a joint resolution is not a law and does not require three readings, ordered the yeas and nays, which being taken, resulted - yeas 77, nays 1.
So the joint resolution was adopted on the part of the House of Representatives.
Mr. KEMPF, (by unanimous consent,) submitted a joint resolution (No. 6) authorizing the addition of a number of books to any township library, where the number of German voters in such township will justify so doing [in the opinion of the State Board of Education.]
The yeas and nays being taken thereon, under the constitutional provision, the result was yeas 77, nays 8.
Mr. KNOWLTON, (by leave,) explained. He understood the resolution to include a distribution of all the books by law required to be distributed. He could go for distributing in the German language books on Government, Agriculture, Commerce and the Mechanic Arts, but no farther.
Mr. KEMPF. The terms of the resolution were so restricted.
So the joint resolution was adopted.
Mr. SHULL asked and obtained leave to submit a joint resolution (No. 7) expressive of the sense of the General Assembly with reference to the distribution of the Common School Fund, [that said distribution among the counties be in proportion to the number of children entitled thereto.]
Mr. DOUGHERTY moved to refer to the Committee on Education.
Mr. BOYD preferred a vote of the House on this resolution. In this way, the Committee on Education would be guided in their action.
Mr. PARKS spoke against the constitutionality of the Senate bill on this subject.
Mr. MANSFIELD. This subject has been before the Committee on Education. If the matter was to be decided By this vote, he would be in favor of sending it first to some committee.
Mr. KEEFER should vote to lay the resolution on the table. He was in favor of each county collecting and appropriating its own school tax.
Mr. SHULL. There was diversity of opinion as to the distribution of this fund. He was satisfied that the northern portion of the State would be loser by any change of the present law of distribution. He desired an expression on the subject by both Houses of the General Assembly.
Mr. NEBEKER, of Warren, moved to lay the motion and joint resolution on the table.
The motion was agreed to.
The SPEAKER announced the following additional members of the Committee on Judiciary: Messrs. Parrett, Scott and Stiles.The House now resumed the consideration of the committee's amendment to Mr. Martin's bill. (H. R. 14.)
On motion by Mr. MURRAY, the amendment was laid on the table.
The bill was again read through.
Mr. CLEMENTS proposed to amend by adding a section.
"SEC. - Nothing herein contained shall prevent the collection of debts in townships where the same shall have been contracted."
Mr. MURRAY moved to lay the amendment on the table.
Which was agreed to - affirmative 44, negative 20.
Mr. BROTHERTON moved to refer the bill to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. HAMILTON, of Boone, moved to instruct the committee to strike out the exception in the proviso.
Mr. MARTIN explained the abuse which had grown up under the present law.
Mr. HAMILTON, of Boone, said it was wrong to impose upon one a responsibility that belongs alike to all the parties defendant.The House refused to recommit, and the question recurred on engrossment.
On motion by Mr. MURRAY, it was referred to the Judiciary Committee without alterations.
Mr. HARNEY submitted the following, which was adopted:
Resolved,That this Hall be tendered for the use of the State Temperance Convention, on Monday evening, the l7th, and on Tuesday the 18th inst., to transact their business and hold their meetings.
Mr. DOBBINS submitted the following:
Resolved, That the Committee on Rights and Privileges to whom was referred the bill (No. 7) providing for ten per cent, interest on contract be instructed to report an amendment thereto prohibiting all banks from a greater rate of interest on notes, bills of exchange, &c., per annum, than that which is allowed in said bill to individuals on moneys loaned, with proper penalties and restrictions.
Mr. NEBEKER, of Warren, moved to make it a resolution of inquiry.
Which was agreed to, and, as thus amended, the resolution was adopted.
Mr. MURRAY submitted the following, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the power and expediency of providing, by law, for setting apart a sufficient portion of the funds arising from the State's interest in the State Bank, and distributing the residue immediately among the several counties of the State, in just proportions, to be loaned upon mortgaged security for the benefit of common schools.
Mr. SUMMERS submitted the following:
Resolved,That the Committee on County and Township Business be requested to inquire into the expediency of so amending section 18 of the Act of May 6, 1852. that the Trustees shall annually, on the third Monday in March of each year, settle and audit the accounts of the Treasurers and Supervisors of roads in their respective townships, instead of February, as now provided by law.

The central problem of rationality is to tame and domesticate the overwhelming complexity the human mind faces in its efforts to survive and thrive in a complex, unpredictable, and hostile universe. Much of the history of the human race is essentially the story of its expanding capacity to do just that, and the survival benefits that this process has bestowed on the species. Legal systems in general are part of the story of taming complexity, and the modern American legal system is a particularly important part. In an effort to understand the nature of legal systems, much legal scholarship, like the scientific endeavors in many other disciplines, engages in reductivist efforts that simplify and then tries to explain or engage in normative efforts about a certain set of phenomena, typically through a priori reasoning. An outstanding and enormously influential example is economic analysis of law. Two recent publications of this kind particularly pertinent to The Future of Litigation are the extraordinary efforts of Louis Kaplow to explain, justify, and reform the law of burden of proof and essentially the entire judicial process. In contrast to such reductivist efforts is the methodology of Stephen Yeazell, which might be called the reformed judicial process school. The reformed judicial process school embraces rather than suppresses the complexity of the matter under investigation, in this case the judicial system, and employs whatever tools of analysis seem most appropriate to the task at hand, including careful doctrinal exegesis, the application of microeconomics, or empirical research. The result (whatever Yeazell or others might have intended) is careful, bottom-up empiricism rather than top-down prescription. Each approach has its utility and limitations. In the effort to advance knowledge of the operation of the legal system, work like Yeazell's succeeds better than reductivist approaches. Yeazell's work succeeds because he recognizes the implications of the legal system's complexity and its dynamic nature, while the legal economists fail in that regard. In predicting The Future of Litigation, the work product of the reformed judicial process school is more likely to be influential than that of standard microeconomic theorizing. This is particularly evident in the pleading area that has been thrown into turmoil by the recent Supreme Court decisions in Iqbal and Twombly.

Liability insurers use a variety of tools to address adverse selection and moral hazard in insurance relationships. These tools can act on insureds in a manner that can be understood as regulation. We identify seven categories of such regulatory activities: risk-based pricing, underwriting, contract design, claims management, loss prevention services, research and education, and engagement with public regulators. We describe these activities in general terms and then draw upon prior literature to explore them in the context of five areas of liability and corresponding insurance: shareholder liability, automobile liability, gun liability, medical professional liability, and lawyers professional liability. The goal is to develop a conceptual framework to guide qualitative research on liability insurance as governance for initial application to lawyers' liability and insurance.

In ordinary litigation, parties often have different resources to devote to their lawsuit. This is a problem because the adversarial system is predicated on two (or more) parties, equal and opposite one another, making their best arguments to a neutral judge. The class action is a procedural device that aims to solve this problem by equalizing resources between individual plaintiffs and organizational defendants. It does this by allowing plaintiffs to pool their claims. Current developments in class action doctrine, however, reinforce in the courtroom the asymmetry that exists between individual plaintiffs and organizational defendants outside the court. This Article explores these trends and the questions they raise. Why is it that critics of class actions (and some judges) argue that class actions ought not to be certified for litigation purposes because they "blackmail" defendants into settling suits, but they approve of the practice of certifying class actions for settlement when defendants seek to settle clearly meritless claims? Why is the blackmail argument so resilient in the class action context, and what insight does this lend to the context of binary litigation where litigants are more likely to have unequal resources to devote to litigation and, as a result, more likely to enter into settlements that do not reflect the true value of their claim? Should asymmetry of resources in litigation be considered a problem for our court system, or is it right for courts to take litigants as they find them, even if litigants have vastly unequal resources to devote to pursuing their lawsuits?

How should judges go about assessing the admissibility of evidence? In this Article, I explore a key and underexamined issue within evidence law: the interpretive tension between atomism and holism. Should judges assess the admissibility of an item of evidence atomistically—piece by piece, and by itself? Or should they engage in a more holistic, synthetic, and relational inquiry? I argue that there is not, and cannot be, any simple answer to this question, because judicial atomism versus holism turns out to implicate two further important tensions within our bifurcated trial system: the balance of power between the judge and the attorney, on the one hand, and between the judge and the jury, on the other. Moreover, the relation between these multiple issues turns out to depend significantly on whether the evidentiary assessment at issue is what I term a low-threshold evidentiary determination, tilted in favor of admissibility (like relevance, or Rule 403), or, instead, a high-threshold determination (like the assessment of expert evidence). This Article explores both an array of evidence doctrines and the extent to which they provide guidance to judges vis-à-vis atomism versus holism, and then looks in detail at how atomism versus holism operates in both low-threshold and high-threshold circumstances.

This is a piece written on the retirement of Professor Stephen Yeazell, whose distinguished career is almost contemporaneous with my own time in law teaching. I started teaching Civil Procedure in the fall of 1973 fresh from a federal district court clerkship. I was attracted to the possibilities of using the civil litigation system to provide justice to those who were otherwise without much power in society. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as then interpreted, and as I had seen them work during my clerkship, seemed well designed for such a role. Not long after I began teaching, the first effective shots of the civil procedure counterrevolution were fired at the 1976 Pound Conference, sponsored by the American Bar Association at the behest of Chief Justice Warren Burger. This paper chronicles my view of the counterrevolution from that point through the decision of the summary judgment trilogy in 1986, and into the early 1990s. The trilogy and its aftermath, and related developments in regard to other topics such as class actions, finally led me to abandon civil procedure as a subject of interest, and to turn my sole attention to other fronts. It is good that others such as Professor Yeazell stayed to fight the rear guard action, or to document the lost battles, or to make the best of a bad situation, but given what has happened to Civil Procedure since I left it, I am generally glad I moved on to new pastures in Evidence and Proof, and in the innocence movement.

Over the past thirty years, the U.S. Supreme Court and the Judicial Conference have modified the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to address concerns that litigation costs too much, takes too long, and leads to unjust results. The Supreme Court's opinions have focused primarily on fortifying what I refer to as the gateways of civil procedure— including motions to dismiss, motions for class certification, and motions for summary judgment—where judges can dismiss cases that do not meet the applicable standards, thereby eliminating additional cost and delay. The Judicial Conference, in contrast, has focused primarily on regulating what I call the pathways of civil procedure— nondispositive, context-specific decisions during discovery and before trial—to target problems of cost and delay while allowing cases to proceed. Scholars have dissected and debated these gateway and pathway changes but have paid less attention to how these conversations—and the underlying rules—interrelate. This Article offers a unified framework with which to understand the Rules' two contrasting strategies to achieve just and efficient outcomes and examines available evidence measuring gateways' and pathways' relative effectiveness at achieving their shared goals. Stepping back, this Article asks how best to understand the roles of gateways and pathways in civil process and considers new, hybrid rules that draw on characteristics of gateways and pathways and may improve on current design.

Professor Stephen Yeazell once wrote, "A society based on the rule of law fails in one of its central premises if substantial parts of the population lack access to law enforcement institutions."* One apparent threat to access to justice in recent years has been the erosion of notice pleading in the federal courts in favor of a plausibility-pleading system that screens out potentially meritorious claims that fail to offer sufficient specificity and support at the pleading stage. But some have questioned whether this purported threat is more perceived than real. Indeed, this doctrinal shift has been defended in several ways that each suggest—in their own way—that the critical response to Twombly and Iqbal may be much ado about little or nothing.
These apologies for the doctrinal shift, if you will, generally fall into three categories. The first consists of arguments suggesting that the standard has not really changed at all, which I will refer to as the "consistency" defense. The second group concedes that there has been a change but argues that the change has not had or will not have a substantial impact; I will call this the "inconsequentiality" defense. The final category contains those arguments asserting that the changes are consequential but in a good way, meaning that the strengthening of pleading standards was warranted and will be beneficial to the litigation system. I refer to this type of argument as the "efficiency" defense.
This essay responds to each of these apologies, finding that the consistency defense is doctrinally unsound, that the inconsequentiality defense is doubtful (if not counterfactual), and that the efficiency defense is misguided, given the patent overinclusiveness and subjectivity of the plausibility doctrine.

The U.S. Supreme Court announced in Miller v. Alabama, that the mandatory imposition of life in prison without the possibility of parole against juveniles was cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment. The million-dollar question was whether it would do any good for the over 2000 juveniles who had previously been so sentenced. The touchstone of Miller's retroactivity hinges on the question of whether the rule it announced is substantive—and therefore retroactive—or procedural.
The quasi-substantive/quasi-procedural nature of the Miller opinion created a conundrum for lower courts, which have split on the retroactivity question, with several additional jurisdictions yet to decide. As detailed in this Essay, the answer to this puzzle comes from an unlikely source: the Court's Sixth Amendment jury-trial jurisprudence, and particularly its June 2013 interpretation of that right in Alleyne v. United States. Though unrelated to both juvenile sentencing and retroactivity, the Alleyne Court determined that where the existence of a fact dictates whether a mandatory minimum applies, the fact acts as an element of the underlying offense. This Essay extrapolates from the Alleyne holding and argues that Miller's requirement that sentencers consider age and its attendant consequences in cases involving juveniles—making age at the time of the offense a fact that triggers whether the mandatory minimum sentence of life without parole applies—converts age to an element of the underlying offense, rendering Miller a substantive rule that must be applied retroactively.

In Public Interest Lawyering: A Contemporary Perspective, Professors Alan Chen and Scott Cummings provide a nuanced and thorough account of the relationship between lawyering and social change. In this Review Essay, Professor Douglas NeJaime explores how key insights from Chen and Cummings' textbook could impact the way students approach adjudication, which remains the primary subject of instruction in law school classrooms. Continuing the marriage equality case study with which Chen and Cummings conclude, NeJaime analyzes the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decisions inHollingsworth v. Perry and United States v. Windsor through the lens of Public Interesting Lawyering. He argues that rather than understand the decisions as instances of top-down, court-ordered reform, students would locate the Court's intervention within a bottom-up, dynamic process of legal and social change. As Public Interest Lawyering reveals—and as the Court's approach in Perry and Windsor confirms—lawyers, litigants, and activists, rather than judges, drive that process.

In this contribution to the Symposium honoring Stephen Yeazell, the author explores the interaction between group litigation and social context in the contemporary setting. She traces the recent law of class action waivers coupled with mandatory individual arbitration clauses in consumer and employment contracts. She shows how the Supreme Court's decisions in AT&T v. Concepcion and American Express v. Italian Colors enable large corporations that impose class action bans on consumer and employees to achieve de facto immunity from decades of hard-won protective legislation. She concludes that Yeazell's insight—that the availability of group litigation is intricately linked with a society's social arrangements—is as true today as it was in the 1970s, when he first examined the issue.

Condos in Philadelphia's Waterfront Square Project Up For Auction
Filed under: Real Estate Developments
Waterfront Square, a luxury condominium project on the Delaware River in Philadelphia is the site of a new condo auction. The Philadephia Inquirer reports that this is the fourth time in a little more than a year that units in this building are being auctioned off. A total of 35 condos are being put up for auction at an event being held by Accelerated Marketing Partners. The condos are located in a formerly industrial area and the nearest neighbor is the SugarHouse Casino, a fact which according to the article, is actually a boon for local residents.
The first two towers at Waterfront Square, which were completed in late 2005 and early 2006, are sold out, except for one unit but the newest tower, a 179-unit high-rise called the Reef is the one that has faced difficult times. It was 72 percent presold when September 2008 rolled around and one of the lenders was Lehman Brothers. The completion of the tower was delayed for a year and the bulk of buyers who had signed contracts backed out.
Waterfront Square is a gated community on 10 acres. A grass-covered parking garage forms the largest green roof in Philadelphia. There is a fitness center, pool, clubhouse and a concierge in each tower building.
The 35 units include one-bedroom and two-bedroom units and minimum bid prices range from $195,000 to $415,000 which is over 50 percent off the original selling prices. The auction takes place November 21, at the Hyatt Regency Philadelphia at Penn's Landing, 201 S. Columbus Blvd.

Antidepressants: Safe during pregnancy?
Taking antidepressants during pregnancy might pose health risks for your baby — but stopping might pose risks for you. Get the facts about antidepressants and pregnancy.
By Mayo Clinic staffAntidepressants are a primary treatment option for most types of depression. Antidepressants can help relieve your symptoms and keep you feeling your best — but there's more to the story when you're pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant. Here's what you need to know about antidepressants and pregnancy.
How does pregnancy affect depression?
Pregnancy hormones were once thought to protect women from depression, but researchers now say this isn't true. In addition, pregnancy can trigger a range of emotions that make it more difficult to cope with depression.
Is treatment important during pregnancy?
Depression treatment during pregnancy is essential. If you have untreated depression, you might not have the energy to take good care of yourself. You might not seek optimal prenatal care or eat the healthy foods your baby needs to thrive. You might turn to smoking or drinking alcohol. The result could be premature birth, low birth weight or other problems for the baby — and an increased risk of postpartum depression for you, as well as difficulty bonding with the baby.
Are antidepressants an option during pregnancy?
A decision to use antidepressants during pregnancy is based on the balance between risks and benefits. Overall, the risk of birth defects and other problems for babies of mothers who take antidepressants during pregnancy is low. Still, few medications have been proved safe without question during pregnancy and some types of antidepressants have been associated with health problems in babies.
Which antidepressants are considered OK during pregnancy?
Generally, these antidepressants are an option during pregnancy:
- Tricyclic antidepressants. This class of medications includes amitriptyline and nortriptyline (Pamelor).
- Certain selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Several SSRIs are generally considered an option during pregnancy, including citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft).
- Bupropion (Wellbutrin). This medication is used for both depression and smoking cessation. Although bupropion isn't generally considered a first line treatment for depression during pregnancy, it might be an option for women who haven't responded to other medications or those who want to use it for smoking cessation as well.
The potential risks of these antidepressants during pregnancy varies. Early studies suggested a risk of limb malformation with tricyclic antidepressants, but the risk hasn't been confirmed by more-recent studies. Some research associates use of citalopram, fluoxetine and sertraline with a rare but serious newborn lung problem (persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, or PPHN) when taken during the last half of pregnancy, as well as heart defects affecting the septum — the wall of tissue that separates the left side of the heart from the right side of the heart. Other rare birth defects have been suggested as a possible risk in some studies, but not others. Still, the overall risks remain extremely low.

They're SPLOST funds at work: The Albany Fire Department traded in their breathing air packs from 1997 for the new packs
The breathing air packs the Albany Fire Department used until Tuesday were purchased in 1997.
"Since the time we purchased the other packs we've had several new standards implemented through the national fire protection association that we were behind," says Asst. Fire Chief Allen Cravey.
They recently purchased updated packs for nearly $880,000 total thanks to lots of pennies from the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). The fire department received them on Tuesday and began switching out the old ones.
Cravey says the new packs hold 45 minutes worth of air versus 30 minutes and have a device that will alert the team if a firefighter has been unresponsive for more than 20 seconds.
"The air packs are the most important equipment we carry on the truck in relation to the firefighter's safety," he says.
Chief Ron Rowe says the fire department received some public comments about them needing 200 new breathing air packs when the public says they only see 20 firefighters at a time. Rowe says many people don't know how many employees they actually have who need this equipment.
"We have 172 personnel... Of course we have three shifts, so they're not deployed all at the same time," says Rowe. He says they also have "one for each seat on each truck to cover the entire 340 square miles that we cover as well as a training division where we don't want to take equipment out of service to train our personnel."
Cravey says spare air packs are kept in case of an emergency or for off duty and volunteer firefighters when they arrive on a scene.
He says the SPLOST funds are a way of the citizens giving them the equipment needed to perform their job better and better serve the public; otherwise he says they don't know where the $880,000 would have come from to purchase the equipment needed by this year.

A British Christian woman suffered religious discrimination when British Airways told her not to wear a visible cross over her uniform, a top European court ruled Tuesday.
However, three other British Christians lost related religious discrimination claims at the European Court of Human Rights.
British Airways violated the article of the European Convention on Human Rights that guarantees freedom of religion when it stopped employee Nadia Eweida from wearing her cross openly, the court said.
Eweida said she experienced discrimination from 2006 to 2007, when she started displaying the cross while working as a member of check-in staff. She was first sent home and then offered another role where she'd have no contact with customers. She refused to take it.
The airline changed its policy on uniforms in 2007 to allow employees to wear religious or charity symbols, at which time Eweida returned to the check-in desk.
In its ruling, the court weighed Eweida's desire to show her religious belief against the airline's wish to project a certain corporate image.
"While this aim was undoubtedly legitimate, the domestic courts accorded it too much weight," it said, referring to British Airways' position.
However, the court found that three other British Christians who argued they'd been unfairly dismissed from their jobs had not been subjected to religious discrimination.
They are nurse Shirley Chaplin, who also wanted to wear a cross at work, registrar Lilian Ladele, who declined to register gay civil partnerships, and Gary MacFarlane, a relationship counselor who did not want to give sex therapy to same-sex couples.
In the case of Chaplin, the court ruled that the concerns of hospital managers for health and safety outweighed the nurse's desire to wear a cross visibly in the workplace.
The cases of the registrar and the relationship counselor had been fairly considered in the national courts, the court said.
"In each case the employer was pursuing a policy of nondiscrimination against service-users, and the right not to be discriminated against on grounds of sexual orientation was also protected under the Convention."
The parties in the cases have three months in which to lodge an appeal.
The Christian Legal Centre, which directly supported Chaplin and MacFarlane, issued a statement saying the ruling "raised questions about the future involvement of Christians in professional and public life."
Gary McFarlane said he was "amazed" by the court's decision, and added that there had been no need for him to be dismissed from his job.
"What happened to me was deeply illiberal. I simply wanted to do my job in light of my Christian identity but I was policed and punished for my thoughts, for my beliefs. In a truly tolerant society we make room for one another," the Christian Legal Centre quoted him as saying.
"Today's judgment is a worrying sign not just for those who bring their Christian faith to bear on their work but for all those who hold viewpoints that differ from the reigning orthodoxy."
Rights groups hailed the outcome, however.
Shami Chakrabarti, director of the Liberty human rights group, said the judgment was "an excellent result for equal treatment, religious freedom and common sense."
The British courts had "lost their way" in considering Eweida's case, she said.

I recently started a new contract which requires me to travel down to London from Bedford during rush hour. For this reason, I thought it would be prudent to upgrade my old TomTom One to a new TomTom GO 550 Live.
I originally bought a TomTom One (V1) back in 2006 at a cost of £215 because my then girlfriend was pretty bad at map reading. The TomTom then was an excellent purchase that removed the possibility of many arguments. The feature list of the new TomTom GO 550 Live tempted me to buy a new one, four years on. This was purchased with a third-party dashboard bean bag mount from handtec for a little under £190. Let's see what new features it has, over a TomTom One:
- HD Traffic
- Speed Cameras
- Fuel Prices
- Google Local Search
- Weather
- IQ Routes Technology
- 4.3″ Screen
- Hands-free phone support
- Voice command and control
- Advanced Lane Guidance
- Text-to-speech
The first five features in the list above require a subscription to TomTom Live services at a cost of £99 annually. These services are currently provided for a year, free of charge with a new purchase of the TomTom GO 550 Live. The next few updates are improvements of the hardware and software. But are they useful?
A larger screen is always welcome.
Hands-free phone support? I don't generally make or take calls in the car, so this feature isn't useful for me.
Voice control again, isn't too useful for me – it involves learning what commands are available and it's much easier just to navigate the menus with a tap.
Text-to-speech is a good feature – rather than pre-recorded navigation the TomTom can now read out road names which, when you're following lane guidance can be very helpful.
Because the "Advanced Lane Guidance" feature of this new TomTom is awful. It's excellent at telling you what lane to be in, when it's already very obvious. Think of a motorway with giant blue signs telling you which lane is which. The thing that would have made this really helpful, and you'd be forgiven for thinking this was part of lane guidance, would be telling you what lane to be in when you're in a large town on a road with three lanes, each of them going somewhere else and because it's rush-hour lane changing is near impossible. Imagine my disappointment when I twice ended up going the wrong way, because I was in the wrong lane. Thanks TomTom. The included lane guidance isn't always perfect either – Joining the M1 southbound at Junction 10 from Luton it will tell you to "Keep right, then go left on the roundabout, first exit". But, if you keep right you cannot go left on the roundabout. Again, thanks TomTom.
IQ routes is essentially a dumbed down version of the Traffic service. The TomTom can assume for you, fairly accurately how much longer it will take to traverse a road at a given time on a given day – it knows a journey will take longer during rush hour. No complaints here.
Which leads us to the paid features, which to be fair are currently free for a year with the new TomTom.
Weather. Do I care? Not really – my iPhone has a much better app for telling me what the weather is going to be. But that's not to say you won't find it useful.
Google Local Search – again, for me not that useful. Generally, I already know where I want to go, and if I'm looking for somewhere specific I'll probably check my iPhone first – because it's a lot faster and more powerful than this TomTom unit. (Would you believe, four years on the GO 550 Live is only 20MHz faster than the original One? Although mapping features aren't impossibly slow, they're still slow. It would have been nice to have had a faster processor here).
Fuel Prices. This could be helpful if there are large price differences in your area, but passing several petrol stations listed the prices were all out of date, some by several pence. Not a feature to rely on then.
Speed Cameras are a nuisance. Most people believe this. Sure, I'd like to believe we're all driving at the speed limit and, excluding country roads, towns along country roads and motorways, from what I've seen most people generally keep to it. But that doesn't stop you seeing a speed camera and then furiously checking your speedo to make sure you're not going to set the damn thing off. This distraction could potentially be more dangerous than not having a speed camera at all. So, is this feature helpful? Yes and no. Yes, because it clearly points out where the speed cameras are. No, because apart from being blindingly obvious (they're large yellow boxes for goodness sake) you won't set them off if you're not speeding, which you shouldn't be. But I guess it's nice to be reminded that they're there and if you do happen to be speeding, to slow down. I'd be interested to see the statistics for minor collisions at speed camera sites, where cautious drivers brake a little too much and the person behind, busily checking their speedo to make sure they're not going to fast, shunts them in that time.
HD Traffic, a feature which could potentially be SO useful. The question comes though, is it? Well that depends. On largely busy routes with lots of people who potentially have TomTom's connected to the service then probably. But, with smaller or less popular roads where reporting is often very delayed and the quantity of drivers with TomTom's is far less, probably not. HD Traffic of course works from aggregated data from lots of other TomTom users. This means it won't save you if you're the first to get stuck in a traffic jam. At rush-hour, when traffic is very changeable I've found the reporting to be a little inconsistent. Do you leave your route to potentially save 15 minutes, or do you stay on because the jam the TomTom shows seems to have cleared? In the end, this feature is probably best for larger delays.
Adding to this, I had a problem with HD Traffic when I first used the device. Planning a route and asking the TomTom to minimise delays it would always say that a subscription was required and it may have expired, even though the information page clearly showed I had a years worth of free access left. An email sent to TomTom support on Tuesday the 27th about the issue remains unanswered today, five days later. I did however realise that by using the TomTom HOME software to access the TomTom that the service did actually work – and stayed working when I disconnected the cable until I powered the unit off. The service has started working on its own now however, several days after first turning the TomTom on. Which didn't help on my way home for the first couple of days.
Now, you'd have hoped the quality of the maps may be slightly better. But there's one roundabout on the A6 that's been there for at least two years and it still isn't on the map. When TomTom release new maps every quarter don't think for one minute that those updates are for the most up to date road information because clearly, they're not. I will say that average speed cameras placed on the M1 and A421 have been marked which is great. That said, even IQ Routes doesn't seem to factor in the speed restriction and extra traffic because of this – clearly a frustrating thing when you're trying to sell a device based on its traffic avoiding route planning.
Perhaps I've been spoilt. With an iPhone which is so fast and fluid, but the touch screen on the GO 550 Live is the same touch screen used four years earlier on the One. It works, but it's slow and cumbersome. Given very similar technical specs of the original One and the GO 550 Live the only thing that could really sell the GO 550 Live are its new features – for me the only important ones were Advanced Lane Guidance and HD Traffic. Unfortunately, one of them falls well below expectation and the other is satisfactory at best. Was it worth updating from my four year old One? Probably not. A faster processor, better touch screen and full lane guidance within towns could have made this a definite yes.
If you're wondering that the difference between the GO 550, 750 and 950 is, it's a simple one: the 750 has more internal memory and maps of Europe, the 950 has some more internal memory and maps of America. If you're not planning on shipping your car to these places to drive around you're better off saving £20 and £70 respectively and going for the 550. Though, you may just be better off finding an original TomTom One on ebay and using that. Other versions of the One all use a slower processor which will no doubt make your mapping experience more frustrating than it already is.

ECM675 uses purified chicken type I collagen in 6mM acetate buffer pH 7.0. The product is 99.9% pure native atelomeric avian collagen. Approximately 85% type I and 15% type III collagen protein. The material has been specially prepared to maintain its native state as much as possible. The telomeric ends of the collagen I have been enzymatically removed. Since most of the species identity is found within the telomeric ends, our atelomeric chicken collagen should provide a suitable substrate for most any animal species.

If you are one of these multiple-PC owners, you have probably thought about how great it would be if your computers could talk to each other.
The following guide covers the steps required to set up a basic computer network in your home. The topics covered include an overview of both wired and wireless transmission mediums, the components needed to set up a home network, network security options, and the steps involved in configuring a network for both Windows and Macintosh systems. The guide also covers specialized topics for more advanced users including an introduction to the OSI model, a glossary of useful network terms, and instructions on how to make and configure your own Cat-5 cable.

INTERLOCHEN -- You have the chance to see a classic holiday production in person, when it's performed at a local arts academy.
The Interlochen Dance Company and Orchestra are presenting the story of the Nutcracker. Organizers say the enchanting holiday classic features magnificent dancing, colorful costumes and one of the most enduring scores in all of ballet.
This performance is also unique because it is put on by arts students at the academy.
Director of Dance Cameron Basden says, "Everything that you can imagine about the holiday season is alive in this production and is very particular to Interlochen because Interlochen is able to produce all of this together."
Performances are being held at the Corson Auditorium at the Interlochen Center for the Arts.
Tickets are $23.00 for adults, $20.00 for seniors and $9.00 for students. There are two more performances on Saturday.

Pretty, Pretty Boy: Naked Rugby Player Sean Lamont
31-year-old Scottish rugby player Sean Lamont is, well, beyond hot. We are without words, really. But thank god someone had the courtesy to show us some behind-the-scenes footage of one of those naked rugby player calendar shoots in which we actually get to see some of the family jewels. As it happens, this video, and the stills, have been around like six years, but we don't care. He was hot at 25, and he remains hot. [Very NSFW!!]
And by jewels we mean his ample penis. [via Wicked Gay Blog]

Write a tea journal, see what others are drinking and get recommendations from people you trust. Sign Up or Learn More
I don't know a whole lot about tea, but want to explore it more and remember the journey!
I am a 30-something year old wife and stay-at-home-mother of one. When I have time to myself I enjoy tv, classical music (but don't ask me any specific questions, I don't pay attention to anything other than how it sounds), reading (mostly fiction, but I have been more recently interested in philosophy and history), knitting, crocheting, and math and word puzzles. But mostly I spend my time building blocks, coloring, playing with play-doh and covered in food messes that my daughter loves to create.
I'm trying to figure out the best system for rating each tea. Unfortunately it's not easy to pick out an exact number on my iPad (which is what I use most frequently), so my ratings must be in a range.
0-20: This was terrible, my husband can drink the rest.
21-45: This tea was drinkable.
46-70: I enjoyed this but not enough to purchase again.
71-99: I enjoyed this and would buy it again.
100: One of my favorites; it will always be in my cupboard.

Took a lovely walk on the beach from our hotel, the Riu, to the Looney Bean , every morning to enjoy one of their great smoothies. A nice change of pace when you just can't eat any more buffet food...until lunch time that is ;)

This was a brilliant little find past the Playa Brujas restaurant-- much like a Mexican Starbucks but with actual flair. Plus, this shop is nestled inbetween great knickknack shopping. About a 15 minute walk from the RIU Hotel.
Where we stay is just a short walk down the beach from the Cerritos strip and this coffee shop, and it's our favorite haunt when we're in town. Excellent smoothies, good breakfast, great coffee and a selection of muffins and pastries are on hand as well as surf board rentals and friendly service. You can sit in a rocking chair... More
great coffee and pastries, cool vibes, surf rentals, and the folks that run it are a very awesome American family. We bought some really nice stoneware coffee mugs.
I came in this morning for breakfast, as I had a few times before (the egg sandwich is pretty good) and it has the closest thing to ice coffee I could find here (though just a shot of espresso on ice with water). First of all; this place is really expensive as it is. Second of all, I came in... More

Lemonade was awesome & safe to drink. Many, many coffee drinks available. Tortilla soup was also fantastic. Friendly, helpful staff many of whom speak English.
Bought whole coffee beans, have great treats and even t shirts friendly staff, all fluent in english
Short walk from Riu and good coffee. Specialty coffee as well. Lots of local expats or snow birds in and out all day long.

Tom and Heidi have created a unique place for visiting gringos and locals to enjoy great coffee, chat, mingle and meet new friends. Community minded citizens, Tom and Heidi participate in a number of charitable... More
We learned about Looney Bean a few years ago and now make it a place we visit often while in Mazatlan. The freshly roasted coffee beans make a great cup of coffee and an excellent latte. Tom roasts the beans himself on site and our favorite are the beans from Chiopas, Mexico. Running a very close second are their breakfasts.... More

Chief Political Commentator and Associate Editor of The Observer, Andrew has won a string of awards for his journalism, including the prestigious What The Papers Say award for Columnist of the Year and Journalist of the Year in both the Channel 4 and Public Affairs political awards. Andrew's ground-breaking and award-winning account of New Labour, Servants of the People, was a top ten bestseller in both paperback and hard cover. His latest book, The End of the Party, has been hailed as an authoritative account of the fall of New Labour.
Elinor Goodman was political editor of Channel Four news for nearly 30 years having cut her broadcasting teeth presenting Week in Westminster while political correspondent of the Financial Times. She left Channel Four news after the 2005 election with the aim of doing something outside broadcasting. She chaired the Affordable Rural Housing Commission, and was appointed a member of the soon-to-be-wound up Commission for Rural Communities, reflecting her lifelong interest in the countryside. But she couldn't keep away from the airwaves and returned to Radio 4 in 2006 as a presenter of Week in Westminster, Beyond Westminster and On Your Farm, thus combining the excitement of politics with the pastoral pleasures of exploring rural communities.
John Kampfner is Chief Executive of Index on Censorship, one of the world's leading free expression organisations. His latest book, Freedom For Sale, was shortlisted for the prestigious Orwell Prize in May 2010. In 2002 he won the Foreign Press Association award for Film of the Year and Journalist of the Year for his two-part series on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, called 'The Ugly War'. He began his career as a foreign correspondent with the Daily Telegraph. On returning to the UK in the mid-1990s, he became Chief Political Correspondent at the FT and political commentator for the BBC's Today programme. Between 2002 and 2005, John was Political Editor of the New Statesman.
Anne McElvoy is political columnist of the London Evening Standard and presents the arts and ideas programme Night Waves on BBC Radio 3.

Thereafter she was Deputy Editor of The Spectator and Executive Editor of the Evening Standard. A regular broadcaster, she appears on Newsnight and Question Time among other programmes.
Michael Dobbs has never been far from the sharp end of politics. He was an adviser to Margaret Thatcher and John Major, Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party, and between times managed to become a best-selling political novelist with House of Cards. He continues to produce best-selling novels that have won many awards. One newspaper described him as 'Westminster's baby-faced hit man'. -
