It is important that you understand what your conveyancer can, and can't do for you. It is also important that you explain very clearly your position and your requirements. AIC members are encouraged to always use plain English, not complicated legal terms, so you understand exactly what is happening. You also need to tell your conveyancer of anything that may impact on the transaction. If you have severe financial restrictions, tight time limits, or any other specific concerns or special requirements, be sure you explain this at the very beginning. Nobody wants surprises or misunderstandings to ruin your transaction.
The earlier the better! You don't need to wait until you are ready to sign a contract - it makes sense to select your conveyancer as soon as you decide to buy or sell. And never sign anything before you've asked for your conveyancer's advice - it is always better to be safe than sorry!
Here are a few questions you may like to ask a conveyancer:
There are many costs and expenses involved in any real estate transaction. It is important that you are aware of all these costs so that you can budget for them. It can be disastrous if you do not prepare for all possible expenditure.
- Are you member of the Australian Institute of Conveyancers?
- What's the maximum I can expect to pay in fees and charges?
- What are your fees and what services are included in those fees?
- What will any additional services cost?.
- What government fees and charges will I need to pay?
- How long will settlement take? and
- How will you keep me up to date with what's happening?
Costs and expenses arise in various areas of the transaction. Some may not be obvious or may be unexpected.
This is an overview of the expenses you can generally expect in buying a property:
There may be other expenses in specific transactions; always ask your conveyancer for details of anything which may arise in your particular purchase.
There are various websites that can assist you to calculate some of these costs.
- Fees and charges payable for obtaining any loan (mortgage);
- Stamp duty;
- Registration fees (paid to the Lands Titles Office);
- Search costs;
- Rates and Taxes for the period that you will own the property;
- Conveyancing fees and minor costs; and
- The costs involved in moving.
- Insurance
Stamp duty calculators are available on the Treasury NT website.
First home buyers may be eligible for a Commonwealth Government grant (the First Home Owners Grant) and for a rebate of stamp duty. Many of the sites listed on our useful links page include more information on buying and selling, and on stamp duty including First Home Owners Grant on new properties.

Any real estate transaction is a complicated process with many costs involved. One of these will be the fees paid to your conveyancer as well as.
- Loan repayments;
- Fees and charges payable to discharge any loan (mortgage);
- Sales commission and advertising costs payable to your agent;
- Search costs;
- Rates and Taxes for the period that you will own the property;
- Conveyancing fees and minor costs; and
- The costs involved in moving.

You should talk to your conveyancer about all the costs in your transaction including the conveyancing fees - none of us like surprises!
As a professional body, the AIC does not set or regulate the fees charged by our members. Conveyancers have expert skills to complete your transaction effectively and efficiently; their fees reflect their professionalism and the complexity of your transaction. Whatever the fee, remember you are buying peace of mind.
Remember, your conveyancer is working for you and it is as important to your financial future as your bank manager or your accountant.
All transactions are not the same. Sometimes a transaction requires additional work that was not foreseeable at the outset. A conveyancer is entitled to charge additional fees for additional work. If seeking a quote for fees, you should always ask 'What is included in this fee?' and 'What services will attract an extra fee and how will that fee be calculated?'. You should also ask your conveyancer to notify you if it becomes clear additional work is required.
Your Conveyancer will
- Protect your interests;
- Be your advocate;
- Keep you informed at every step; and
- Ensure you can exercise your rights and meet your responsibilities.
Use our convenient member directory to find a conveyancer for your property transaction.
It is not against the law to do your own conveyancing work. However, conveyancing work is highly technical and highly specialised. Do not attempt to do your own conveyancing unless you know precisely what to do and are certain you have the capacity to do it before you enter into the transaction. You cannot expect any assistance from the conveyancer acting for the other party. If you make an error, you may cause settlement to be delayed (causing default interest to be payable by you) or even enable the other party to terminate the contract.
If you are considering doing the conveyancing work yourself, look at the list of tasks to be undertaken by a conveyancer and tick off those that you are experienced in doing.
Interestingly, very few real estate agents attempt to do their own conveyancing when buying or selling for themselves.
Conveyancing is an expert's job: to be safe, you should engage an expert. Remember, you are buying peace of mind for just a few hundred dollars.
If you use an AIC member, the similarities are more important than the differences: our members have all undertaken specialist tertiary training; they engage in regular professional development programs to keep their skills and knowledge up to date; they have access to professional journals and newsletters; they all have professional indemnity insurance to protect you, the consumer; and they all offer professional service and expert advice.
Not necessarily, Licensed Conveyancers are experts who specialise in conveyancing work; you do not need to use a solicitor at all. Some conveyancers are qualified solicitors but many are non-solicitors who have completed specialist tertiary education in conveyancing. In fact, many law firms employ Licensed Conveyancers to undertake their conveyancing work. Membership of the AIC is your assurance of your conveyancer's expertise and professionalism.
Not necessarily. Conveyancers and solicitors both provide specialist, advice and charge for their services accordingly. In most cases, the fees will reflect the complexity of the transaction; this is true whether you use a Licensed Conveyancer or a solicitor. The real difference is that conveyancers are specialists who work only in this area whereas solicitors work in many areas of the law. As with most things in life, you tend to get what you pay for. A Licensed Conveyancers offers expert advice, professional service and peace of mind.
Most conveyancing transactions in the Northern Territory are handled by conveyancers who are not solicitors. This is not surprising when professional non-solicitor conveyancers have been recognised in Australia for around 150 years, often referred to as land-brokers in the past in other states.
Yes, just as there are differences between individual accountants or individual electricians. Some conveyancers are self-employed or work in small businesses, others work in bigger companies and solicitors' offices; some offer a wider range of services than others; and they all have their own fees and their own business practices.
In addition to these variances those undergoing the Certified Practicing Conveyancer education program (CPC) each year are updating their skills and it entitles them to register as a CPC.
It is quite legal to use the same conveyancer and can often appear convenient to do so. However, the Institute does not recommend doing so in most transactions. Remember that your conveyancer is there to work for you and be your advocate, not just stamp some forms and fill in the blanks. A conveyancer acting for both buyer and seller must cease to act if a conflict of interest arises (for example if the same advice cannot be given to both parties). Conflicts can arise over all sorts of issues such as a delayed settlement or unfulfilled special condition. It is generally impossible to predict when this may happen. The savings from using the same conveyancer are small but the risks are potentially huge. Significant delays often occur if the conveyancer must cease to act in a transaction. Ask yourself if you're really comfortable using the same person as the other party or if you would feel better working with your own conveyancer.
Many real estate agents have local conveyancers to whom they refer work from properties they are selling. This is perfectly appropriate if based on the professionalism and expertise of the conveyancer and can be helpful if you don't know of a conveyancer yourself. Remember, though, that your conveyancer is there to protect your interests; if you would rather select your own conveyancer, check our member directory or call the AIC for further advice. The choice of conveyancer is yours, not the agent's.
No, conveyancers are not allowed to give specific financial advice. That said, many of our members have good contacts in the finance industry and they may be able to recommend people or institutions for you to talk to about your requirements.
Yes, you still need a conveyancer to prepare the contract of sale, and the other documentation required by law for the sale to proceed. Contact your conveyancer before you advertise your house for sale to ensure you fulfil your legal obligations.
Transferring a house to friends or family entails changing the registered ownership the same as if you are selling. Your conveyancer can do this for you and ensure you meet your legal obligations. Unless additionally licensed, conveyancers are not able to give detailed financial or taxation advice on the impact of transferring your house to your children.
Yes, all conveyancers who are members of the Australian Institute of Conveyancers are required to be protected by professional indemnity insurance. This is to protect you, the consumer, in the unlikely event that something does go wrong. You can feel secure dealing with an AIC member.
Our members are all professionals; they want to do a good job and have a satisfied client. If you do have a problem, we always recommend you try to discuss it with your conveyancer first; in many cases it may be a simple misunderstanding that can be resolved quickly and easily. Ensure you understand clearly the full extent of all fees and charges before you proceed with your transaction. If something does go wrong and you are not happy with the service you receive from one of our members, please contact us with your feedback.

In many old houses, the heating system comes on too hot or too cold. There are even certain houses where it might be cold during the day and extremely hot in the night. Plus those old radiators always have a problem with noise. They're likely to wake you up several times in the middle of the night as the heating goes on and off.
If you live in an old home like this, you might be thinking about updating your heating system so that it works smoothly. In this case, you will need heating installation. Also, if you're moving into a new home, you're likely to need heating installation.
Avoiding Future Problems
It is important to find a good company to set up your heating system from the get-go. If your heating installation is set up correctly right from the beginning, you can avoid the need to spend excessive sums of money on problems down the road, such as one room being hotter than another, the thermostat breaking down, etc.
Finding the Right Company
In terms of finding a good company for heating installation, you might have to do some research. Look online and see which companies have good reviews; or if you know someone who got heating installed lately, you can ask them for a referral.
We encourage you to give Barrett & Sons a call so that your HVAC needs can be fulfilled from the start.

Roberts Court May Have Last Word in Long Debate Over Affirmative Action
The Supreme Court has been closing the door on affirmative action since 1978. This week, justices hear the case that many believe will finally slam it shut.
The Dark Cloud the Supreme Court Just Cast Over Affirmative Action
The Roberts court is uniquely hostile to affirmative action. And now that it has agreed to review a challenge to the University of Texas's admissions program, all bets may be off for affirmative action in higher education.
Clarence Thomas, Elena Kagan and the Battle Over Who Gets To Rule
As the Supreme Court prepares to take on a slate of big, history-shaping cases, the most weighty question is which justices will–or won't–get to decide the outcome. Victor Goode explains the ethics fight that's not going away any time soon.

An intensive hands-on film/video production in which students will explore advanced techniques in directing, cinematography, lighting, editing, and sound design. The class will be broken up into teams of four students, who will conceive a story, translate it into visual language, and produce a 10-minute film. This project is supported with a variety of in-class critique sessions, hands-on production challenges, discussions, and film screenings.
Visual Art
ART 365 – Printmaking Techniques and Approaches
Printmaking Techniques and Approaches offers an in-depth exploration of select contemporary and traditional printmaking techniques, with a particular focus on innovative approaches and presentation options, such as: print folios and artist books for serial and sequential imagery; one-of-a kind sculptural or mix-media prints; and collaborative group projects. This course emphasizes the development of each student's personal thematic content. Previous printmaking experience helpful but not required.
Visual Art
ART 398 – Experimental Course
From time to time, departments design a new course to be offered either on a one-time basis or an experimental basis before deciding whether to make it a regular part of the curriculum. Refer to the course schedule for current listings.
Visual Art
ART 399 – Selected Topics
This independent study course offers students the opportunity to work in a medium of their choice at an advanced level, with oversight and support of a faculty member. Students must preregister with their independent study advisor after submitting a written statement of intent for approval. It is recommended that all studio art majors take Art 399: Selected Topics in the fall of their senior year to prepare better for the Senior Seminar and Senior Visual Art Majors Exhibition in the spring semester.
Visual Art
ART 402 – Senior Seminar
This course is the capstone experience for studio art majors. Senior students are expected to produce a defining body of work in the medium of their choice, which will be exhibited in the Beard and Weil Galleries at the end of the semester. In this semester-long course, students meet once per week for three hours to discuss a variety of topics in preparation for professional practice. Formal critique sessions provide students with feedback on the development of their work as it progresses toward the Senior Visual Art Majors Exhibition.
Visual Art
ART 499 – Selected Topics
Offered to selected students at the invitation of the department.
Visual Art
ART 500 – Individual Research
The opportunity to pursue honors is offered to selected seniors by invitation only. At the end of the fall term of the senior year, the Visual Art faculty meets as a group and identifies promising students from the ranks of those taking ART 399: Selected Topics. Those students who show exemplary work are invited to pursue Honors by the department. Faculty legislation requires that honors work must be above and beyond the normal scope of the major. Two courses, Visual Art 399 – Selected Topics (ART 399) and ART 500, will ultimately make up the year-long course of study above and beyond the normal major requirements. Therefore, the student pursuing honors must register spring semester for both ART 500: Honors and Visual Art 402 – Senior Seminar (ART 402): Senior Seminar and expand on the work begun fall semester in ART 399 to produce a body of work at least one and three-fourth times greater than what is required for the Senior Seminar alone. Final requirements include a written thesis and oral defense. The studio art faculty as a whole determines the grade for the ART 500 course and whether honors will be awarded.

One by one, members of the Xavier boys basketball team walked out of the locker room with red eyes and moist cheeks, some with hooded sweatshirts pulled tightly over their heads to shield their anguish. They were greeted with applause for their hard work by friends and family members.
It was of little solace after the gut-wrenching 57-56 defeat to heavily favored Archbishop Stepinac in a classic CHSAA Class A intersectional semifinal Tuesday night at Cardinal Spellman in The Bronx.
Stepinac faces Cardinal Hayes in Friday's night's final at Fordham University at 8 p.m. The Cardinals defeated St. Joseph by the Sea in the other semifinal.
"I'm crushed right now," said senior Euroy Smith, who led Xavier with 18 points. Eddie Sullivan added 13 and Billy Hunter had 11. "All the seniors were crying, all the juniors were crying, all the guys who were on the bench were crying."
Xavier led throughout, by as many as 11 points in the third quarter, and nine in the fourth quarter. With 4:11 remaining, the Knights were comfortably ahead, 52-43, after Sullivan, a junior point guard, had scored six points in a 7-1 run.
Stepinac, however, never stopped coming. The Crusaders closed on a furious 13-4 run, finally went ahead on senior forward Conroy Baltimore's two free throws with 15 seconds to go.
"Every day in practice I work on my free throws," said Baltimore, who made 12-of-13 and finished with game-highs of 18 points and 12 rebounds. "I knew I was going to make both of them. I was confident."
The Knights had one more chance, and the ball found its way into the capable and clutch hands of Bobby Bruns, the same Bobby Bruns who had beaten Mount St. Michael with a four-point play and Regis at the buzzer in a double-overtime thriller in the second round of the playoffs.
"I have faith in him," Smith said. "I'll give him the last shot any day."
Bruns didn't get off a clean shot, rushing it. Out of his hands, it felt long, and it was, way long, the ball caroming off the glass first and then the rim. The horn sounded on Xavier's Cinderella season. Bruns dove onto the floor, doubled over in disappointment as Stepinac celebrated as the Westchester school's large contingent rushing the court.
"I know there wasn't much time left, so when I caught it, I looked right away to shoot it," he said. "I sort of threw it up. I didn't get a chance to set and shoot, like I usually do."
After building a 45-34 lead late in the third quarter, Xavier (16-9) wasn't able to much of anything on offense that was easy. Stepinac (17-10) began pressing full-court, making life difficult for Sullivan by rotating defenders on him. Smith managed just three points after halftime and Hunter had only two.
"We kept on fighting, playing defense, rebounding, blocking shots, making plays on offense," Baltimore said. "We did all of that."
Xavier coach Joe McGrane left with his held high, pleased how his team came together. There was the regular-season upset of Mount, and the shocking win in the quarterfinals over Iona Prep, the defending CHSAA Class A state champions. The Knights dealt with injuries woes at the season's outset, then took most of the year to find themselves.
"I feel pretty good right now," he said. "Obviously, I'm upset we lost, but the last three weeks of the year our guys played awesome. As a coach, that's what you want."
Said Bruns: "We beat a lot of good teams and got further than anybody thought we would get. I'll remember that."

Naveego, Inc. has launched its Data Quality Services (DQS) beta program. The beta program will give companies access to a new and easy way to manage their data quality.
Naveego DQS is a new cloud based data quality tool that automates the majority of the data quality process, and its founders see the product not only as a great tool, but as a way to change how companies manage data quality altogether.
"The biggest problem with data quality today, is that many companies just don't do it," said Derek Smith, Co-Founder and Interim CEO at Naveego. "This is mostly due to the inaccessibility and complexity of existing tools, and we want to change that by making it easy and affordable for everyone that wants to gain insight into the quality of their data."
While working with customers on data management projects, Smith found that most companies don't have a data quality process at all. What typically happens, is data issues are uncovered during the course of a project, fixed, and then forgotten. Many times, these same issues resurface, and the business ends up repeating the one time manual fix. Naveego DQS helps you track and monitor the uncovered issues, capturing your organizational learning, and will proactively notify those accountable when it occurs again in the future.
"The data in a database is always changing, and quite often, line-of-business applications aren't equipped to prevent all quality issues," Smith said. "This means data issues can easily reappear and wreak havoc on a business, most of the time going unnoticed until it is too late, and we are looking to end that cycle."
Naveego is looking to its community for feedback on ways to enhance its DQS product. The beta program is designed so end users can help drive the continuous innovation process.

Social Responsibility
To attract and keep year-round residents it is essential that we have services that support the people who live here. Senior services, health care, good schools, affordable housing, youth programs, resources for families, cultural and recreational opportunities, are what will make the difference in having growing, thriving communities. CAP-21 will work to develop and strengthen our social network and our sense of community.
Housing Needs Assessment Project
Through a Quality Communites grant funded by NYS Department of State, CAP-21 contracted with River Street Planning & Design to undertake a regional assessment of affordable housing needs, with a particular focus on the needs of our local workforce and the seniors. This needs assessment included Forestport, Webb, Inlet and Long Lake and is available at local libraries within those communities as well as available from CAP-21.
In addition, CAP-21 is seeking housing rehabilitation and renovation funds specifically for individuals who are aging and/or disabled and who need repairs and assistance to maintain a safe, comfortable home.
Health Center Fund
CAP-21 is collaborating with the Town of Webb Health Center Fund, and of course the Town itself, as the health center makes the transition from a municipally funded health care system to Mohawk Valley Health System. The focus will be on supporting professional staff and tracking health care needs and service patterns.

♥ Clam animal totem ♥
It is very likely that each of us has been a clam once or many times in the evolution of the planet.
Clams are one of the first life forms from the primordial waters of earth.
These ancient creatures have staying power!
Clams are 510,000,000 years old on earth, and have a powerful digging foot and two muscles which allow them to open and close their shells.
They can live from one to 500 years and are closely related to scallops, mussels, and oysters.
The clam lives on the sandy bottom of fresh and salty bodies of water.
It pushes itself along with its foot, but does not have a head or eyes. It filters its food out of the water and its shell is self-formed by adding layers to the edge which then harden over time.
Native cultures used clam shells as decoration (Moche – Perú) and currency (Algonquian).
If this totem is resonating for you, then you are likely a clam totem soul.
You can live off of very little and are comfortable in the emotional realms (water).
You take your sustenance unobtrusively and restfully. You are a slow mover, but a decisive one.
Your environment nourishes you and you will move on if it does not.
You will gradually build up your home and resources.
You may also hold thoughts and dreams in gestation for a long time before acting on them.
You are highly sensitive to unseen emotional currents in your world.
You are patient and feel time in a way that others do not.
In love and sex, the clam is the embodiment of the ocean inside, but hard and discerning on the outside, holding the ability to open and close at their personal discretion. Once open, the clam is pure and vulnerable.When closed, the clam chooses to be impenetrable and will sooner be destroyed than forced open.
Clam totem people: you are blessed with the water energy spirit and have a special relationship with rain, rivers, and seas.
You create your own home and are self-sufficient at heart.
Enjoy and use the energies of this powerful ancient totem to remind you of your true nature and abilities. Clams are a worthy and exemplar expression of life energy in our ancient earth. Be proud clam people!
♥ In LOVE ♥ ~The Oracle

Come april it's been 3 years since we carried the last boxes out of our 70'es house in Snoghøj and moved in here at Fasanvej - in our charming red brick 2 story house from 1926, close to the center of town.
One of the things we fell in love with then was the pretty bay window in the room next to the living room - and we could imaging how nice it could be. This room was, in short, ugly - with the brown 70'es windows, the kiddie carpet, and the strange two-tone floor underneath, the terrible cigarbox ceiling and the unpainted walls - but we saw the a potentially lovely room.
A combination of an office and a living room. No TV, to nice chairs by the bay window, a small table for our cups of coffee or glasses of red wine, soft colors, the floors stripped, new windows...
We changed the windows 2 years ago, and the kiddie carpet is long gone. But the ceiling and the walls are still unpainted , and the room is, besides being my home office, a storage room, where unwanted things go :(
But it ends now!
Yesterday we sat down with our original list of projects, from when we moved in. It was a long list, and a lot of things were ticked off. But we needed to get the big perspective, and to get the jobs categorized, in small and big tasks, and the kind that we need to buy help to get done.
As we got our remaining projects in order, we decided that our first project we'd start on, would be the room with the bay window.
Today we started out a little bit. The first step was to organize and empty the room, and get rid of all that was in there, that we did not want to keep. And today I went through the bookshelves in there, so it is now ready to empty, take down, and reassemble in the basement, where it will keep all of our stuff while we renovate the room.
There is a long way to go. The room needs new ceilings, and we are going to raise them to the original height, because in the 70'es somebody lowered them. The walls need to be re-done, as they are covered with a kind of insulation that burns very easily, and we want to replace that with plaster walls.
Perhaps the wall separating the bay window room from the living room will need to be made higher - we think it's made after the ceiling has been lowered.
We also need an electrician to come and make more outlets - there is ONE in the entire room - and a carpenter to strip the floor.
We need to paint the room, and get new furniture.
A couple of comfortable chairs, a small table, and a sofa that converts into a guest bed, lamps, a new work station table - I can almost see how nice it is going to be!
All this energy - it must be the spring setting in :)

In fact, I'm working on a project which aims to implement a reconfigurable Zigbee tranceiver on XUPV5-LX110T Evaluation platform which integrates a Virtex 5 FPGA. I am currently in the phase of real test, so now I just want to test my transmitter.
First, I want to send my binary data from Matlab (computer) to FPGA. The medium of communication is the RS232 serial link. Is there a solution in Matlab (communication protocol) that sends a binary stream on this port knowing my main entrance on FPGA is 4 bits?
Secondly, how to create a PRBS (Pseudo Random Binary Sequence) in Matlab (an output of 4 bits) to integrate it into the communication protocol?
And thank you in advance for everyone.

Diamond Willow (Paperback)
more to me than
most people
Twelve-year-old Willow would rather blend in than stick out. But she still wants to be seen for who she is. She wants her parents to notice that she is growing up. She wants her best friend to like her better than she likes a certain boy. She wants, more than anything, to mush the dogs out to her grandparents' house, by herself, with Roxy in the lead. But sometimes when it's just you, one mistake can have frightening consequences . . . And when Willow stumbles, it takes a surprising group of friends to help her make things right again.
Using diamond-shaped poems inspired by forms found in polished diamond willow sticks, Helen Frost tells the moving story of Willow and her family. Hidden messages within each diamond carry the reader further, into feelings Willow doesn't reveal even to herself.
Diamond Willow is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
About the Author
Helen Frost is the author of several books for young people, including Hidden, Diamond Willow, Crossing Stones, The Braid, and Keesha's House, selected an Honor Book for the Michael L. Printz Award. Helen Frost was born in 1949 in South Dakota, the fifth of ten children. She recalls the summer her family moved from South Dakota to Oregon, traveling in a big trailer and camping in places like the Badlands and Yellowstone. Her father told the family stories before they went to sleep, and Helen would dream about their travels, her family, and their old house. "That's how I became a writer," she says. "I didn't know it at the time, but all those things were accumulating somewhere inside me." As a child, she loved to travel, think, swim, sing, learn, canoe, write, argue, sew, play the piano, play softball, play with dolls, daydream, read, go fishing, and climb trees. Now, when she sits down to write, her own experiences become the details of her stories. Helen has lived in South Dakota, Oregon, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Scotland, Colorado, Alaska, California, and Indiana. She currently lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with her family.
Praise For…
"Frost invents an ingenious poetic form for her story that is both stable and fluid; like the diamond willow branches that she is imitating, the diamond shapes of her poems vary. . . . Frost has spun metaphoric gold out of an evocative natural landscape, and she knows just how to craft it into an elegant and moving story of a young girl's deepening understanding of the relationships she shares with those around her." —The Bulletin for Center of Children's Books, Starred Review
"This complex and elegant novel will resonate with readers who savor powerful drama and multifaceted characters." —School Library Journal
"Set in a remote part of Alaska, this story in easy-to-read verse blends exciting survival adventure with a contemporary girl's discovery of family roots and secrets." —Booklist
"This delightful novel is a must-read." —VOYA
"Frost presents her story in a series of poems in Willow's voice, using a form inspired by the marks on a diamond willow stick." —Kirkus Reviews
"Twelve-year-old Willow longs to take the family's beloved sled dogs on her first solo run to her grandparents' cabin. Inspired by gifts created from diamond willow, Helen Frost has composed unique diamond-shaped poems that reveal the touching story of Willow, her immediate family, and her ancestors, whose spirits reside in many of the animals of the Alaskan wilderness she encounters." —Tish Gayle, The Blue Marble Bookstore, Fort Thomas, KY
"As it takes us gliding along on a dogsled with Willow into the depths of the snowy Alaskan interior, Diamond Willow illustrates oneness, forgiveness, joyfulness, and how a child can sometimes teach her parents well." —Richie's Picks

In the wake of an appellate court decision that overturned a Marine scout sniper's high-profile conviction and sent shock waves through the military justice community, a number of lawyers are working feverishly to determine what the implications are for other Marines who were punished.
One of those attorneys has another client: the president of the United States.
On Nov. 8, the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals handed down a decision overturning the conviction of then-Staff Sgt. Joe Chamblin, who was demoted and ultimately discharged for involvement in a 2011 incident in which a number of scout snipers urinated on Taliban corpses during a combat deployment to Afghanistan, and then posted a video of the act to YouTube.
The court found that actions taken by Gen. Jim Amos, then-commandant of the Marine Corps, created the appearance of unlawful command influence in the conviction, creating a taint on proceedings that was never adequately addressed or alleviated.
According to sworn testimony cited in the opinion, Amos told the general originally in charge of the sniper cases, Lt. Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, that he wanted the Marines "crushed" for their activities.
Waldhauser, who had told Amos he didn't plan to send all the cases to general court-martial, was shortly thereafter removed as the oversight authority and replaced, a move Amos said was designed to remove any possibility of his own comments interfering with Waldhauser's discretion to act in the cases.
The court called Amos' "crushed" comment "an unusually flagrant example of [unlawful command influence]."
'It Was So Powerful'
The same day that opinion came out, John Dowd sprang into action. Dowd, then with the law firm Akin Gump, represented Capt. James Clement, one of two officers who faced punishment in connection with the sniper scandal. He now works for himself, and became part of President Donald Trump's legal team in June.
"We're going to put together a petition on behalf of everyone, all the defendants, to have them all corrected," Dowd told Military.com on Thursday. " ... The court's opinion was unbelievable. It was so powerful."
Dowd helped Clement, accused of failing to supervise snipers on a patrol during which he was manning a radio, to secure an administrative board of inquiry hearing in lieu of a court-martial.
Among those who testified in Clement's defense was Gen. John Kelly, then-commander of U.S. Southern Command. During the 2013 proceeding, Kelly said Clement should not have been held accountable for a unit whose leaders had become lax in discipline.
Kelly, who retired from the Corps in 2016, is now the White House chief of staff.
Dowd said he shared the news about the Chamblin appellate decision with Kelly while the two stood in the Oval Office. The White House hasn't taken a stance on the sniper case or publicly discussed it.
Kelly, who had no direct involvement with the sniper cases while in uniform, nonetheless followed them closely. In 2014, after the untimely death of one of the snipers, retired Sgt. Rob Richards, he contacted the Marine veteran's family to express his sympathies.
"[Kelly] just hated the way the Marines were treated," Dowd said.
Despite the testimony in his defense, the board of inquiry voted to discharge Clement from the service.
Dowd has enlisted a former Marine Corps attorney, retired Lt. Col. James Weirick, to investigate how to appeal Clement's discharge.
Weirick went public in 2013 with allegations of unlawful command influence against Amos and his legal team. He is cited in the appellate decision as the source of affidavits alleging Amos' attorneys improperly classified evidence in the sniper cases and withheld evidence from the defense.
"I haven't gotten down to the nuts and bolts of how you clean that up," Dowd said of Clement's discharge. "But I think if there's any evidence of command influence, it's discharging someone that you found the facts for."
In all, nine Marines faced varying levels of punishment, from special court-martial to letters of reprimand in relation to the urination video and other videos that were shot on the same deployment.
'An Unlevel Playing Field'
Although five years have passed and none of the Marines remains in uniform, the symbolic gesture of restoring rank and vacating convictions is important to see through, multiple attorneys said.
"It was an unlevel playing field," Florida-based attorney Ken Martin said of the sniper cases. Martin said he is representing one of the nine Marines, but declined to publicly identify him because of the stigma attached to the case.
"We're going to try to use that decision to get these guys, their records corrected," Martin said. "The ones that went to [nonjudicial punishment] might get their rank back. It's not going to restore them, but it's the best that can be done years later."
Perhaps the most famous of the sniper prosecutions was that of Richards, a sniper who had been severely wounded on a prior deployment and had been recognized for heroism during the 2011 deployment to Afghanistan, receiving a recommendation for a Bronze Star.
Richards pleaded guilty at a summary court-martial proceeding at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in August 2013, receiving a demotion and securing a medical retirement from the Marine Corps with full benefits.
He died tragically at age 28 in August 2014 after what was believed to be a negative reaction to one of his prescription medications.
'We'd Like to See It Corrected Now'
Guy Womack, a Texas-based attorney who represented Richards during his prosecution, told Military.com that he is still working to secure Richards' Bronze Star on behalf of Raechel Richards, his widow.
"The Bronze Star that he so richly deserved, they always wanted that, and he did too," Womack said. "We'd like to see it corrected now."
The process of renewing a recommendation for the valor award is complicated. Col. Christopher Dixon, the former commander of 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, who originally submitted the recommendation, must renew the paperwork, Womack said, and he has been difficult to reach.
Also unclear for Womack is the proper way forward to review Richards' summary court-martial; he is examining the possibility of appealing to the Judge Advocate General of the Navy for an evaluation of Richards' case in light of the recent Chamblin decision.
"We're looking into it and figuring out what we're going to do," Womack said. "We fully intend to file something."
All the attorneys involved with the sniper cases said they are eager to find out whether the government intends to appeal the recent decision to the next-highest court, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.
If CAAF reverses the lower court's findings, hopes of overturning more convictions may be short-lived.
A spokeswoman for the office of the Navy Judge Advocate General, Patricia Babb, told Military.com the government has 30 days from the decision date to request that the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Appeals reconsider its decision. The Judge Advocate General can opt to certify the case to CAAF within 60 days of the decision or, if NMCCA reconsideration is denied, within 30 days of that denial.
Babb declined to say whether the government had made a decision.
"Given that this is a matter in litigation, it would be inappropriate to comment on any potential future actions," she said.
If efforts to correct the snipers' service records do move forward, Weirick told Military.com he suspects the high profile of some of those now interested in the cases may result in a prompter evaluation and decision by the Board for Correction of Naval Records.
"They can move very fast to correct things if they want to," he said.

The childhood bedroom of Kristin Challacombe included a narrow walk-in closet. It functioned as expected: housing the threads of her adolescence.
Yet behind the clothes, Kristin transformed what others would label unusable space. Pulling in cozy pillows for lounging and covering the walls with photos and art, this quaint nook became a retreat for her and her friends. A welcoming space where laughter erupted, secrets were shared, and aspirations were born. Aspirations that included Kristin's desire to grow up and one day become an interior designer.
Fast forward a few years. With a degree in hand from Harrington College of Design, Kristin began her career at a high-end residential firm in Chicago. Her time spent at the firm was invaluable. She honed her skills and learned how to build and nurture collaborative relationships with clients.
After the birth of their twins, Kristin and her husband decided it was time for a little more elbow room. They moved just outside the city to a quiet suburb, and she put her career on hold to focus on raising her children for a few years.
During this time, Kristin noticed a growing trend among her friends and neighbors. They were moving from modest city apartments to larger homes with more space for their growing families. But with the extra square footage, came the uncertainty of how to make the transition from city-inspired design to spaces that reflected their tastes and styles while still being family-friendly and functional.
And so Kristin Challacombe Design was born.

Last weekend, while visiting Atlanta for the annual meetings of the American Historical Association, fellow JIer Ben P and I visited the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Historical Site. That we approached the historic Ebeneezer Baptist Church just a few minutes before 11 am on a Sunday morning I can attribute to nothing other than perfect synchronicity.[1] It was my first time visiting the site, and I was moved by what I witnessed. I was unable to attend sacrament meeting that day, but the pilgrimage to the King site was worship enough. I resolved to post something here at JI in commemoration of King, but could think of nothing that would do justice to either King or my visit last weekend.
So today, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., I want to highlight two posts from the Juvenile Instructor's early years. Both were penned by former JI blogger, Ardis Smith, whose excellent original research on student responses to the Civil Rights Movement at BYU in the 1950s and 1960s deserves a much wider audience.[2] As part of her research, Ardis surveyed student responses to the April 1968 murder of the famed civil rights leader who we remember and whose legacy we celebrate today, in the student newspaper, the Daily Universe. Ardis examined the DU's coverage in the immediate aftermath of the murder, and the DU's discussion on the one year anniversary of King's death. Much of the response from students is what you might expect (subtly and not-so-subtly racist condemnations of King's civil disobedience, his Marxist views, and his rumored ties to Communist leaders, justified with citations to LDS teachings and scriptures), but Ardis also discovered and recovered the voices of those students who dared to speak up in support of King and the movement he led.
Among the voices of students who spoke up in support of King and the Civil Rights Movement's aims in the 1960s were two female students. It is their voices, along with Ardis's research, that I want to highlight here today. I do so as a Latter-day Saint, as a historian, and as a BYU alum. The brave stand taken by Barbara McDaniel and Judy Geissler deserve the attention of historians—they go a long way toward countering claims (common both then and now) that "the whole social protest movement passed right over the heads of BYU students that lived in Happy Valley"—and deserve the attention, admiration, and appreciation of Latter-day Saints and alumni of Brigham Young University.
In Ardis's first post on "BYU and Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968," she quoted the reactions of several students to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s death, and concluded that "BYU students often expressed their attitudes towards civil rights in a manner that evoked LDS teachings and principles. However, students varied greatly in how they viewed LDS teachings in relation to race relations and equality." Among those quoted is Barbara McDaniel, who penned a letter to the Daily Universe in response to the paper's brief April 10 editorial commenting on King's death a week earlier. Here's Ardis:
For one student, however, the editorial did not compensate for the lack of news articles on King?s death. On 16 April, student Barbara McDaniel stated her dismay at the newspaper?s second-page discussion of King?s death solely in a letter to the editor. She accused BYU?s administration of feeling as though a crisis had been averted, as they did not have to react to King?s death on campus. She also stated that the prejudice she perceived as existing at BYU meant that people at BYU were ?co-conspirators with the assassin of Martin Luther King.? Using civil rights rhetoric from King himself, McDaniel called upon fellow students to take accountability in civil rights inequalities and shared her own ?dream? that ?freedom will ring from ?Y? mountain.?
McDaniel?s strongly worded criticism and call to action initiated further discussion on the topic of King?s death in the following days. In an editor?s note following McDaniel?s first letter, the Daily Universe?s editor tried to quell McDaniel?s accusations by stating that the newspaper had not published articles on King because after spring break, the story of his death was already ?dead news? (an insensitive comment that seems to be more of an unfortunate word choice than purposeful degradation). In response, McDaniel wrote again about the offense she took at the Daily Universe?s reporting (or lack of it) on King?s assassination. She cited other newspapers that published news of the event on the front page for several days, and accused the university of practicing isolationism in its unwillingness to acknowledge ?an important event affecting the entire world? such as King?s death. Of most interest, however, was McDaniel?s conclusion to her letter. She expressed indignation with the use of the term ?dead news,? stating instead that ?[a] great man?s death and a tribune to his life is never ?dead news? as we testify to every Sunday.? For McDaniel, King?s death was a type of ultimate Christian sacrifice that was to be kept in memory and personal worship.
In a follow-up post, Ardis turned her attention to the Daily Universe one year later, noting that in the wake of the first anniversary of King's death, "a series of editorials and letters to the editor reignited the debate on King in a manner that reflected the deviating views of BYU students on civil rights." Perhaps most notable was an editorial written by assistant news editor Judy Geissler:
In 30 April 1969, assistant news editor Judy Geissler wrote an editorial titled ?In Memoriam: M. L. King.? Speaking to the idea of King?s life as a sacrifice to racial equality, Geissler declared that prejudicial words and attitudes had frequently led to the justification of discrimination, subjugation, and murder on the basis of race in the United States. She also provided a respectful biographical sketch on King in order to substantiate her own argument that BYU students should not only think about furthering equal rights but should ?get out and DO something about it.? Geissler believed that King?s life was a medium through which she felt personal responsibility to actively support civil rights.
Angry condemnations from BYU students predictably followed (as did threats of violence), and in response Geissler penned a follow-up editorial:
In ?Racial Bigotry: An Open Letter,? Geissler shared the backlash that she had experienced since the publication of her first editorial, which had included sixteen phone calls, several letters, accusations of Communist involvement, a threat ?to burn a cross? in her living room, and the placement of a sign reading ?Head Nigger? on her newspaper desk. Geissler believed that the refusal of many BYU students to acknowledge the need for improved racial equality in the United States reflected the ?two-facedness of those who profess to love their fellow men while refusing to foster true brotherhood.? What is evident from this second editorial is that Geissler interpreted her religious beliefs as a Latter-day Saint to mean that she was to love her fellow man without regard to race, and that she was mystified and disillusioned by the ?hypocrisy? that she viewed in her fellow students.
As a historian, I can't help but want to know more about Barbara McDaniel and Judy Geissler, as well as more about the students who made verbal and physical threats. Who were Barbara McDaniel and Judy Geissler? Where was each from? What did they study at BYU? And what became of them?
As a BYU alum and Latter-day Saint, I simply want to thank them. I think their bravery and courage are a wonderful tribute to the memory of the man they spoke up for and defended.
[1] It was there, in 1953, that King uttered, "I am [ashamed] and appalled that Eleven O? Clock on Sunday morning is the most segregated hour in Christian America."
[2] Some of that research can be read here, and additional portions that she shared at JI can be read here, here, and here.

STORIES are everywhere
We know all these things the Dalai Lama mentions in the text on the picture, but do we live better because of it? Can you make a commitment to change just one of these facts in your life in the next year?
The statement that jumps out for me is, "We have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor". This year I finally got the poetry box up at my house, it took me a year and a half to manifest the thing. The idea for it came on my travels, but getting it done was a process of finding the post,finding the just right moment to put the post in the ground, and finding the friend who wanted to build the box to put on the post. It could all have been done faster. I could have hired someone to put in the post, I could have ordered a three hundred dollar poetry box online and have some person for hire put it up for me. That is not how I felt about the project. This was a project of sharing, using materials I have laying around, utilizing relationships in my community to build the box, this was a project to bring people together, to slow things down, allow someone to stop, read and ponder, to say hello and ask questions, to let neighbors participate and share their poems.
The idea I had is working: people stop and read, people bring their poems to share, people now think about what they can do at their house to make contact with the strangers that walk by. I took the window of my room to the edge of the street. I share what I read in my room, what I think about and what I love. I am communicating with the people in my neighborhood through my poetry box. People have to walk a few steps to receive it, healthy steps. Poems are without judgment but full of awareness. Poems don't take much time to read, but linger inside you, and infuse the next moment in a person's life.
What if all you readers, shared this blog with one or two other people and these people shared it with one or two others and so on? Wouldn't we have a pyramid of power that could change our world? Will you take one line of the Dalai Lama's text and change it in the next year? The world in 2016 will be better for it.

Please join members of the Allston/Brighton community to tell the BRA that a Final Project Impact Report must be required and the BRA should not waive further review of the project.
Here is a sample of what Allston and Brighton residents have said about this project:
"I encourage the BRA Board to send this back to Harvard for a "do-over" -- no fouls, no penalties. I think the City, if it truly cares about this neighborhood and getting this first phase of a 20+-year plan right, should follow its own rules and ask for a resubmission.""The Science Complex size is too tall for the site and unjustifiably violates the agreements of the North Allston Strategic Framework for planning"
"A project of this size and scope deserves a review process that ends with a consensus opinion as to the process having been fair in its treatment of the community's concerns. That is not yet the case."
"Our community has endured over the last 13 year Harvard's grab for more and more land that has resulted in shuttered businesses all along Western Ave. As part of approving the Science Complex development and before the next IMP is approved the BRA must insist that Harvard immediately start a Commercial District master plan process for their holdings along Western Ave and the Holton St corridor"
"We are concerned that the proposed transit network may be insufficient to adequately serve the Science Complex"
"Many of the pertinent issues raised by the community have not yet been addressed adequately by Harvard"
"It would be shortsighted to move forward with such a large development without having a broader transportation and public space plan"
"I am opposed to the lack of attention and collaboration between Harvard and the community in adequately addressing community benefits, open space and public access to the river, traffic mitigation plans, and building heights. It is evident that that there are far too many unanswered or inadequately answered questions concerning the impact of Harvard's development plans on the community. Yet, despite this, and despite repeated requests for extensions, it appears as it all is poised for the community to be steamrolled by Harvard's plans."
"The sheer size of the development will dwarf our neighborhood"
The complete set of comments submitted about the Science Complex and the related Master Plan Amendment are available online using these links. (note that many Amendment comments relate to an art building proposal that has since been withdrawn).
I look forward to seeing you on the 3rd.

Harare: 5.02.19: Fuel prices prevailing in the country are not due to be reviewed in the near future, contrary to misinformation being peddled on social media platforms.
In response to questions from the public in light of isolated fuel queues witnessed at some service stations over the weekend, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) Mr. Eddington Mazambani clarified, "The fuel supply in the country is stable and the public should not panic based on false statements that the fuel prices are due to be significantly reviewed. Government has put in place enough financial facilities to ensure that there will be enough fuel stocks to cater for the current demands."
Mr. Mazambani commended the fuel procurers who have maintained their supply lines which ensured that all the sites are fully stocked across the country.
He said the shortage of petrol that was witnessed during the end of the last week was due to a supply gap and advised that this gap is being closed by the current fuel supply inflows.
"There is no need for panic buying. The country has adequate stocks. ZERA is constantly monitoring the supply and consumption pattern while the financial side is being resolved by the Central Bank", said Mr. Mazambani.
