Title page from 'Vermeer de Delft' by Gustave Vanzype. Bruxelles: Librairie Nationale d'art et d'histoire, 1908. Fine Art Library 709.492VER
A Lady Writing a Letter, with her Maid (c.1670) has been the subject of several articles in academic journals and in essays by art historians, including Arthur Wheelock (1997, 2010, 2011), Lawrence Gowing (1997) and Wayne Franits (2004). A common subject of each of the art historians cited is the interpretation of the elusive meaning of this painting, its hidden subject matter, as well as discussions on the treatment of geometry, and its provenance.
However the most extensive discussion of the painting's meaning is found in the National Gallery of Ireland's exhibition catalogue 'Love letters: Dutch genre painting in the age of Vermeer' (2003) with contributions by leading Vermeer experts including Peter Sutton, Lisa Vergara and Ann Jensen Adams, among others. Monographs on the life of the artist are increasing in line with Vermeer's current popularity. The oldest monograph held in the National Gallery of Ireland's library is an illustrated biography from 1908 (illustrated above).

Panjway Panorama
23 March 2012
This panorama was made in the general area where the Panjway 17 massacre unfolded. The view is over the Arghandab River Valley, a place that Canadian and many US forces know well.
I made the 27 photos in this pano in a handheld mode while tagging along with members of the Central Asia Development Group (CADG) who were implementing a water project. We were without troops. CADG operates freely in some of the most hostile areas of Afghanistan where troops would not go without significant force. This is one of those places.
Much serious fighting has happened within ear and eye-shot of this panorama. This is, quite literally, the birthplace of the Taliban. There is little doubt that Mullah Omar once bathed in this water.
This image is interactive. By searching, you can see security barriers and cell phone towers. The Taliban forces many cell towers to shut down at night. Taliban likes cell phones, but we use them for targeting. Of course the enemy knows this and want them off at night. Blackberries and iPhones work here.
If our goal were simply to wipe out the enemy without regard for human costs, US forces could do that in an hour or two. But we've tried counterinsurgency (COIN), which remains a work in progress a decade later. Today we are negotiating with the Taliban.
The Taliban will inherit this land. Panjway, where these images were made, is the birthplace of the Taliban and it's still theirs. As you can see, the terrain is not rough. We simply never applied enough pressure to break their will, and they didn't quit.
Progress has definitely been made: COIN is working, but we waited too long. The Afghan war is a classic case of too little, too late. This area of Afghanistan will remain Taliban country, but we will have made roads and other projects to help get crops such as opium to market. After aid dries up, they'll probably let the roads fall into disrepair and keep plodding along.
Again, this image is interactive. If you see something of interest, please make a "snapshot" with a description. Snapshot button is on lower left.

SOUTH BEND, IND. – For the past year, Caitlin Crommett's goal has been to transform a high school club she started in Orange County into a national organization.
DreamCatchers, a student service club that grants final wishes to terminally ill hospice patients, began as a club at Tesoro High School in Las Flores and, under Crommett's leadership, now boasts 25 chapters in 10 states.
On Nov. 17, Crommett's college, the University of Notre Dame, recognized her accomplishments in a big way when it aired a two-minute commercial about her group on NBC during a Notre Dame football game.
Titled "Fighting to Develop Great Leaders," the spot follows the Notre Dame sophomore as she arranges for a man dying of emphysema to be reunited with his extended family one last time. It was filmed by the college's public affairs department.
"It was unreal," said Crommett, 19, of Rancho Santa Margarita. "My parents held a viewing party at home and invited a whole bunch of her friends. My mom cried – they really liked it."
The ad is part of a series of Notre Dame commercials that spotlights various accomplishments and strengths of the university.
Notre Dame is supporting Crommett's efforts to expand DreamCatchers through its Hesburgh-Yusko Scholars Program, which sent Crommett and a friend on a six-week tour of five U.S. cities last summer to establish more clubs.
"Our program is based on the core belief that each person can truly make a difference," Notre Dame Professor Joseph Buttigieg, director of the Hesburgh-Yusko program, says on the commercial.
Crommett, who attended Saturday's game against Wake Forest, watched the commercial in the Notre Dame stadium's press box Saturday when it aired live on NBC, she said.
Crommett started DreamCatchers at Tesoro High as a sophomore, after volunteering at a local hospice and realizing she could help in a more meaningful way.
In three years, Crommett granted more than 20 dreams, including a last sailboat ride for an ocean lover and a final reunion with family members who lived far away. She also set up a private viewing of a "Harry Potter" movie for a fervent fan who wasn't expected to live until the film's opening in theaters; the patient, however, died before the dream could be granted, Crommett said.
Crommett, now in her second year at Notre Dame, is double-majoring in theater and business. She hopes to become an actress as well as the CEO of a national network of DreamCatchers clubs.
She was named by The Orange County Register in 2011 as one of 10 O.C. high school graduates who will change the world.

From, http://jedidefender.com/newspro/full...2777523,60620,
* AT-TE: The vehicle is indeed "huge", as we caught a glimpse of in the CNN video. It will feature a motorized troop deployment door though, and electronic sounds as well! If other rumors hold true, this vehicle could very well be to-scale to the figures!
* Clone Trooper Helmet: This Role-Play Toy is going to have something extra to it. The word is that there may be a holographic projection feature that works with the visor. Could kids have the Emperor send Order 66 sent to them?
* New Clone Wars Figures: The new line is indeed going to be animated... sort of. The figures will be a mix of animated and realistic styling, with the heads looking more like their 3-D animation counterparts, while their bodies will look more realistic. The animated styling seemed more "overall" on the battledroid figure however, and not just the head. The figures may be akin to the Obi-Wan in Armor figure recently pictured in Previews, where the head had a noticeable difference in sculpting to it.
* AT-TE Part 2: The AT-TE's troop door mechanism will actually be 3 troop doors that open simultaneously. The walker holds 20 Clone Troopers as well, and will have not just sound, but lights also. Cost in the U.S. should be between $100 and $120. Again, our sources stressed it is "really big!" to us as well.
* Clone Wars Figures, Part 2: The Clone Wars Figures look to be proportioned and articulated to the standards of the basic line. Lots of super articulation, nice sculpts, just that the heads are in the "animated style" compared to the more realistic sculpts (as noted above). However, this could leave Hasbro the opportunity to simply put new, realistic heads onto these figures as a way of capitalizing on fans of both styles as well. Jedi seem to come with Clone Armor attachment accessories. People who dislike action features will also be pleased to hear that there are no features on these figures so far!

News Releases, Media Advisories
|For Immediate Release
June 13, 2002
|Ron Harris
Bob Biersack
Ian Stirton
Kelly Huff
|WASHINGTON Alaska has become the 50th state or territory to be
certified by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as exempt from a federal requirement to
receive and maintain paper copies of campaign finance reports from Presidential, U.S.
Senate and U.S. House of Representatives candidates, party committees and political action
committees (PACs).
Replacing the paper filings is electronic Internet access to campaign reports of federal candidates and committees. Reports are accessed through the FECs Internet Web site, and the FEC has provided computer hardware and software, including laser printers, to those states requesting them.
Upon connection to the FECs Web site, the states have access to reports filed since 1993 for PACs, party and Presidential committees, since 1996 for Congressional committees, and since May 2000 for U.S. Senate candidates committees.
The initial 12 states were certified by the Commission on December 8, 1999 (see December 10, 1999 news release, FEC Web site, www.fec.gov). As of June 12, 2002, when Alaska was certified, the 50 states and territories include: Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Public Law 104-79 (December 1995) exempted states from receiving and maintaining paper copies of federal campaign finance reports provided that the state, "as determined by the Commission, has a system that permits electronic access to, and duplication of, reports and statements that are filed with the Commission."
The FEC began posting disclosure reports filed by Presidential and House candidates, parties and political action committees, on its Web site in 1997 and has since expanded the site to include electronic filings and a query system that allows for on-line searches of the campaign finance data base. The public in the certified states access the FECs Web site to view campaign finance reports, but they are the same reports from federal candidates that, by regulation, had to be duplicated in paper form and filed with the state.
Certification by the FEC is indicative that states and territories possess an adequate computerized system to allow the public electronic access to, and duplication of, reports and statements that are filed with the FEC. Criteria leading to their certification by the FEC were: (1)Possession of at least one computer terminal that can electronically access the Commissions Web page, with at least one printer (connected either directly or through a network); and (2)the state or territory will, to the greatest extent possible, allow anyone requesting federal campaign finance data, the use of this computer terminal, at any time during regular business hours.
Alaskas public-access computer terminal is located at the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, State Capitol, 3rd floor, Juneau, Alaska.
The FEC and its initiation and implementation of the state paper-filing waiver program was designated in May 2001 as one of 99 semi-finalists from some 1,300 applicants in the "Innovations in American Government" award competition sponsored by the Ford Foundation and administered by Harvard Universitys John F. Kennedy School of Government.

I found the blister twinpacks today and bought a bunch, it only took me about 5 or 6 packs to pull the 3 different cards (Yoda, Clone, Grievous).
Not a bad deal, 3.99 for a pair of packs and you get the bonus card as well so I like the bonus aspect of it.
I sure would hate to buy a bunch of these and somehow not pull all 3, though.

PI Report 5-20 AM Low
Pretty much more of the same, except not as good as it was last night! Of the fly guys I spoke to, it seemed the action was off. I met Brian Z and several others who did not give this morning anywhere near the rating of recent tide changes.
I fished with Bill H, who hooked up several times using unconventional fly presentation and between the two of us we did a dozen or more. I kept my line out most of the morning due to crowding but it seemed every time I probed there were fish where they were the night before. Some chunkies over 24" but no K's. I presume the bigger fish are in on the Cape and on their way north.
The gear anglers slammed them as usual but I did not see any keepers in the line this AM.
Bob - same stuff, great results by sunlight... though not nearly as good as evening. The normal retrieve period at slack never happened.
Terry - wish I stayed! Would have been good to hook up with you again, I actually called your cell phone while in that nasty 495 traffic.

Cruz has already stated, that the govt need not be shut down. Once the bill goes back to the house, they can pass individual bills funding individual agencies ... nothing needs to shut down at all. If the Senate votes against those bills, who is shutting down the govt?
If I had to guess, I believe Cruz has studied long and hard on the inner workings of both houses and how the system can be tweaked. I would expect that of a kid who could memorize the Constitution when he was still in high school.
Hearing McCain speak on radio, it is just plain embarrassing to listen to him. He sounds like an envious man ... he might have wanted to be the leader that Cruz is being.

"Now I am attending college, and I feel like a normal person. No one mistreats me and my friends help me when I need assistance. I love sports and I play football, swim and try to do 100-150 push-ups a day because exercise helps me control my diabetes."

I would imagine TJ drew his time period B tag.

The HC Interview: Myanmar
27 July, 2012
Hide Main Image:

Last year, OCHA ranked Myanmar as the most at-risk Asia-Pacific country. It is vulnerable to devastating natural disasters, poverty and conflicts. Despite being a resource-rich country with a strong agricultural base, its population of over 50 million people are among the poorest in the world. Years of conflict and unresolved ethnic differences have led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people and an influx of refugees in neighbouring countries.
Major disasters such as Cyclone Nargis severely affected millions of people in 2008. Cyclone Giri in 2010 and the Tachilek earthquake in 2011 continued to cause more human suffering and destruction.
The ongoing conflict in Kachin and communal tensions in Rakhine continue to displace people. According to latest estimates, about 130,000 people remain displaced in Kachin and Rakhine. At the Government's request, UN agencies and other humanitarian partners are providing humanitarian assistance to communities affected by the conflicts.
Ashok Nigam was appointed Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Myanmar in November 2011. He talks about working in partnership with the Government to provide humanitarian assistance and support the national disaster preparedness efforts.
Q. What is the humanitarian situation in Myanmar, especially in Rakhine and Kachin States where conflicts have led to the displacement of thousands of people?
Since June 2011, there has been a conflict between the KIA (Kachin Independence Army) and the Government in Kachin State. The conflict has led to the displacement of about 65,000 people, and we have been assessing the situation. We have had access to provide aid to about half those people on a fairly regular basis. We only have intermittent access to the rest. There are some 29,000 people that we have not been able to access since the conflict began, but we are working with the Government to find a way to reach them and provide humanitarian assistance.
We are also facing some challenges is Rakhine where people have been displaced as a result of communal conflict, which started in early June. As a result, we estimate that roughly 65,000 people have been displaced. We are working with the Government to provide assistance to these people. We are also conducting our own independent and rapid needs assessment. While we wait for the results, we continue to provide essential supplies such as food. People urgently need shelter, food, medicines, water and sanitation, and we remain concerned about people living in very unhygienic conditions and being exposed to serious medical issues.
Q. What are the major challenges humanitarian partners continue to face while supporting the Government-led response in Rakhine?
We are working with the Government to ensure we get unhindered access in accordance with the humanitarian principles. In Kachin, we have had intermittent access because of the security situation. We have told the Government that the UN and its humanitarian partners are working in very difficult circumstances to provide assistance to everyone in need, and that we need to find solutions to keep helping them. In Rakhine, we have a similar situation where we are trying to access everyone in need. We need the support of the Government at every instance to ensure that we get unhindered access, and this has been a challenge. But we will continue to work with the Government to try and find solutions. We urge all our humanitarian partners and the Government to work with us so that the people in need are assisted.
Q. How are the authorities and humanitarian organizations working to promote disaster risk reduction and preparedness in natural-disaster-prone Myanmar?
Myanmar has been prone to a number of natural disasters, and we have learned a number of lessons from the previous large-scale disasters, such as Cyclone Nargis, Cyclone Giri and the Tachilek earthquake. The Government has also strengthened its capacity to respond and be better prepared to cope with future disasters. We have been working on setting up a number of cyclone shelters, but an overall rapid response mechanism and a coordinated approach are needed. Preparedness is a critical element of providing humanitarian assistance to people, and that is one of our priorities in Myanmar.
Q. What are the humanitarian funding needs in the country?
The humanitarian funding needs continue to evolve. We are now asking for US$22 million to provide assistance to up to 85,000 people in Kachin until Februry 2013. So far, donors have been very forthcoming with respect to Kachin, and we are working with them to improve the conditions. With regard to Rakhine, we are currently assessing the needs: we need to determine how many people need assistance returning to their homes and communities, as well as how many would require medium- to longer-term assistance.

After receiving my BA in English and gender studies at New York University, I found myself in Providence, underemployed and directionless. I enrolled in the MA in English program at RIC half out of boredom and half out of desperation to once again talk to smart people about good books. Fortunately and quite unexpectedly, before the end of my first full semester there I had found my direction. The theory-intensive Introduction to Graduate Studies introduced me to the concept of cultural studies, and I knew that was what I wanted to do. The professors I met were brilliant and passionate. My fellow students brought a wide variety of backgrounds but a uniform level of commitment into the classroom. Craig-Lee Hall was almost immediately my favorite place to be. Even more amazingly, the English department generously granted me an assistantship that did several important things: It allowed me to attend school full time. It allowed me to work with a variety of professors on their research, seeing what they do and how they do it. And it allowed me to teach – which finally confirmed for me that the university is the place for me.
Throughout my time at RIC, the professors I worked with consistently amazed me, inside and outside the classroom. I cannot recommend highly enough Maureen Reddy, who taught one of my favorite classes during my time at RIC and then hired me as a composition teacher after I graduated; Stephen Brown, who taught my pivotal Intro to Grad Studies class and acted as an invaluable advisor throughout my PhD application process; Barbara Schapiro, who directed my thesis and whose teaching style and energy I aspire to daily; and Jenn Cook, who mentored me through my first semester of teaching with patience and kindness. This was the key to my success at RIC, and the heart of the English department: the extraordinary faculty teaching there, and their unflagging dedication to their students. I am now pursuing my PhD in English at the University of Iowa, where I am specializing in twentieth and twenty-first century American literature, affect theory, and science fiction. I am working toward a career that challenges me and fulfills me. And I know I would not be on this path if it hadn't been for the professors I worked with at Rhode Island College.

Triple post . . . you guys better step it up.
I got the Magnaguard today at the Walmart on 120th. It didn't look like they put out anything else, and there was a bit of dust on the top, so I'm thinking someone hid or misplaced the figure until it turned up today. Now I'm done until the new stuff hits in August (though I think some exclusives are going to turn up before then).

Film & Discussion: The Healthcare Movie
by Laurie Simons and Terry Sterrenberg
Narrated by Keifer Sutherland
Do you ever wonder how Canada got their beloved health care system? Why is the U.S. so afraid of providing healthcare without an insurance industry that skims 25-35% off the top of every healthcare dollar spent? This feature length documentary will clear up the mystery and entertain you at the same time! In Canada, healthcare is regarded as a social service and treated as a responsibility of the government to be provided to every citizen. Not so in the United States. In America, healthcare is regarded as a profit-making commodity, to be operated for the financial gain of insurance and pharmaceutical companies, doctors, and hospitals.
This eye-opening documentary considers how it came to be that the two systems, Canadian and American, ended up in such different places. It explores the health care system in Canada: how it came to be, how it works for ordinary Canadians, how it is paid for, and how it compares to its American counterpart. It reveals the public relations campaigns that have been prevalent in the U.S. since the early 1900′s to dissuade the American public from supporting national healthcare. It also shows the personal and emotional impact on Canadians who now have access to healthcare because of the heroism of people who took a stand to bring universal healthcare to Canada over 50 years ago. Get acquainted with Tommy Douglas, Canadian hero of healthcare who famously said: "People are more important than profits." The issue of healthcare in America goes far beyond a line in the national budget. It reaches into the center of the American soul and answers the question, "How in the world do we want to treat each other?"

Nah, that didn't jinx your season, it's probably my fault. My MN season starts on Wednesday. I have not hunted a single day in MN where it didn't rain/snow in over 3 years, why would this year be any different?

I made my pen cleaner out of abs pipe ,a tee fitting and reducers to hook hose up.and a screw open clean out fitting
I use pool pucks in it.
Take 4 ' of abs. Cut into two pieces 3' and 1 ' put tee between them with cement.
1' piece is top. Glue clean out on open end of 1' piece.
Put reducers in tee down to size of hose fitting this is the water intake
Reducers on bottom open end of 3' piece and this is the out take.
A pool puck lasts almost two weeks with daily use and large volumes going through.
Never had a problem on kennels but did corpse roofing sheeting I had on wall in one section. Changed it to puck board and no issues. Forgot to add. A piece of vinyl sheet must be cut to inside diameter of pipe and holes drill to
Act as screen to keep puck from blocking out take. Takes a couple minutes with a drill and jigsaw
Cost around $20 in abs pipe and fittings. Then I buy pool pucks by pail when on sale or season end clear outs.
Used this for 20 years now

I am looking for the new clone wars clone troopers and want to know where are some good places to find them.
I am looking for the new clone wars clone troopers and want to know where are some good places to find them.
As in stores, or regions? I see tons of Clonetroopers almost every time I go to Wal-Mart, Target, or Toys R Us. Honestly, I get sick of sorting through the various Clone Wars Clonetroopers to find Legacy Collection figures.
That's my jacket!
TRU has been my best finds overall, I got the majority of my CW troopers from them, and have seen variants there that I haven't seen at Target or WM for the most part. Target is usually better for new figures, but they go quickly there.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
It's kind of a crapshoot around here. There's one Walmart in particular that seems to sell through and replenish their figures more quickly, at least for the last few months.
In other words? Just check everywhere, as you never know where they might pop up.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!

Portland, Oregon, and a sloe gin fizz, if that ain't lovin' then tell me what is, uh huh, uh huh.
the only clone troopers i see anymore Gree's troops, Denal, Space-Clones and Cody. I wish Hasbro would start re-releasing some of the generic Clone Troopers again. it's hard to army build them if they aren't being shipped with new figures... I would love it if they made some new Clone Troopers all with removable helmets and maybe a running variation on the head. ( I know that Hasbro said no more running variations) but it would still be cool.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Mob Wives' resident party girl Big Ang heads to the sizzling south to make her mark on the Miami party scene by opening up the second outpost of her infamous Staten Island bar, The Drunken Monkey. To ensure the success of "Miami Monkey" as the newest South Beach hotspot, Ang enlists the help of a crew of Staten Island beauties and South Beach hotties to come along for the ride.
Joining Big Ang in Miami is her bossy 'mini-me' daughter Raquel. Because she has a 9-to-5 job back in New York, Raquel will be commuting to Miami on the weekends to work at the bar. When Raquel is out of town, her friend, Roxanne, will be managing the Miami Monkey. Roxanne is one of Raquel's closest friends - and when she married Big Ang's nephew Ronnie, she became family. Loud-mouthed and opinionated, there will be no monkey business at the Miami Monkey on Roxanne's watch.
Rounding out the New Yorkers are Ryan, Marissa, and Gabby. Ryan is Raquel's best friend, and is known as one of the best bartenders in Staten Island - she often clashes with Raquel, and Ang has hired, fired and re-hired her so many times she can't count. Marissa is a party girl who sports the skimpiest of outfits. Big Ang knows that between her beautiful body and her mind for business, Marissa is going to be a valuable member of the Miami Monkey team. Ang's son, AJ, is dating Gabby, a naïve, beautiful, and newly busty part of the gang. Gabby hopes to cement her place in the family by helping to launch Big Ang and Raquel's new business.
Staten Island may own the sass but Miami brings the fire when three locals join the Miami Monkey crew. Morgan, bartends at the hottest spots in town - she's a known entity in the South Beach nightlife and her contentious personality inevitably leads to conflicts with her Staten Island counterparts at the Miami Monkey. Cristina is a spicy, energetic, and flirty bartender. She's a hard worker, but her drinking gets her into a lot of trouble. Nate Ryan is the ultimate multi-hyphenate. He works as a bartender-DJ- model-music producer-water sports instructor. Nate Ryan is a single ladies' man who doesn't mind that girls are lined up around the block to get their hands on his tanned and tattooed body.

A decision written by a State Bar Court Judge before a member can be enrolled in the Alternative Discipline Program ("ADP"). These decisions include findings of facts, conclusions of law and a "high" and "low" disciplinary recommendation. The "low" level of discipline is recommended if the member successfully completes ADP. The "high" level of discipline is recommended if the member does not successfully complete ADP. The State Bar Court categorizes these decisions as interim dispositions because a State Bar Court judge must subsequently issue a final decision once the member completes ADP, either successfully or unsuccessfully.
Backlogged Complaints
Complaints that have been pending in investigation longer than six full months from the date of receipt (12 months for complex cases) without dismissal, admonition of the attorney involved, or the forwarding of a completed investigation for prosecution.
A communication which is found by the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel to warrant an investigation of alleged misconduct of a State Bar member which, if the allegations are proven, may result in discipline of the member.
Conviction Referral
A formal disciplinary proceeding initiated after a member's criminal conviction to determine whether the conviction involves moral turpitude or other misconduct warranting discipline and, if so, to assess the appropriate level of discipline. A conviction referral proceeding is commenced by a referral order from the State Bar Court Review Department directing the Hearing Department to hold a hearing, file a conviction order and recommend the discipline to be imposed, if any, or to take other action on the issue or issues stated in the order.
A disciplinary action whereby the California Supreme Court expels an attorney from membership in the State Bar. The attorney's name is stricken from the roll of California attorneys and the attorney becomes ineligible to practice law.
The closure of a disciplinary proceeding and dismissal of charges by the State Bar Court or the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel, generally in the interest of justice, pursuant to an agreement in lieu of discipline or for some other specific reason, such as the case has no merit or there is insufficient evidence to prosecute the case.
A communication concerning the conduct of a member of the State Bar received by the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel which is designated for evaluation to determine whether any action is warranted by the State Bar.
Inactive Enrollment
The transfer of an active member to inactive status. A member on inactive status cannot practice law. The transfer can be made involuntarily pursuant to the Business and Professions Code section 6007(b) or (c) where 1) a member asserts a claim of insanity or mental incompetence, 2) a court issues an order assuming jurisdiction over a member's practice, 3) a member is unable to practice law because of a mental infirmity or illness or because of the habitual use of intoxicants or drugs, or 4) a member is judged to present a substantial threat of harm to clients or the public pursuant; or pursuant to the Mandatory Fee Arbitration Program's request to enroll a member involuntarily inactive due to the member's non-compliance with a Fee Arbitration Award. (See Arbitration Enforcement.) A member may request the State Bar Court to lift an involuntary inactive enrollment. (See Return to Active Status.)
Notice of Discipline Charges
A document filed in State Bar Court containing formal charges against a member.
Private Reproval
A censure or reprimand issued by the Supreme Court or the State Bar Court that is not a matter of public record unless imposed after the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings. No period of suspension is imposed. The reproval may be imposed with duties or conditions.
A status whereby a member retains the legal ability to practice law subject to his or her compliance with terms, conditions and duties for a specified period of time.
Public Reproval
A censure or reprimand issued by the Supreme Court or the State Bar Court that is a matter of public record. No period of suspension is imposed. The reproval may be imposed with duties or conditions.

Readmission by the Supreme Court to the practice of law and to membership in the State Bar of a former member who resigned or was disbarred. A reinstatement matter is a regulatory proceeding in which the State Bar Court determines whether a resigned or disbarred member should be readmitted to membership. In order to be readmitted, the former member must demonstrate rehabilitation and present moral qualifications, as well as present learning and ability in the law. (See also Petition for Reinstatement.)
Request for Further Proceedings
A request from a complainant after being advised that the complaint has been dismissed or the member has been admonished.
Resignation Tendered with Charges Pending
A written relinquishment of the right to practice law and resignation as a member of the State Bar by a member who is the subject of an investigation by the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel, a disciplinary proceeding under the Rules of Procedure of the State Bar, or a criminal charge or investigation. Supreme Court acceptance of a resignation is required to make it effective; however, as soon as a member submits a resignation in proper form, the member is transferred to inactive status and cannot practice law. An administrative case is opened in the State Bar Court when a member tenders a resignation with charges pending; however, no State Bar Court judicial action is required in the case.
Resource Letter
A letter from the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel to a member who probably violated, or potentially will violate, the Rules of Professional Conduct and/or the State Bar Act, where the violation is minimal in nature and would not lead to discipline of the member. The letter refers the member to various resources that may assist the member in avoiding problems and/or the filing of complaints against him or her in the future.
An agreement between a member and the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel regarding a statement of facts, conclusions of law and the appropriate proposed disciplinary disposition. The stipulation is filed by the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel in the State Bar Court, which may accept, reject or, with the consent of the parties, order its modification.
A disciplinary action that prohibits a member from practicing law or from holding himself or herself out as a lawyer for a period of time set by the California Supreme Court. A suspension may be either stayed or actual.

Well, thanks to Emma Watson, we know now the equivalent of burning an American flag during a film premiere.
During a recent interview with MTV about her upcoming film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Emma Watson all but came out and said she hates everything about America. I'm honestly surprised she didn't print out a copy of the constitution and rip it up to make a point.
"The Olive Garden. I was very confused about the Olive Garden," Watson admitted during "MTV First: The Perks of Being a Wallflower." "I did not know. I had no idea if it was a restaurant or what."
"Or what?" What the hell is that supposed to mean? She's too good to dine out at one of America's top Italian restaurants. Oh I'm sorry, is a chain restaurant chock-full of chefs trained in Tuscany not good enough for the already-aging Harry Potter actress?
What's next? Red Lobster doesn't have enough combo-shrimp options for her? Ruby Tuesdays has too many options at their salad bar?
I mean, it's one thing to come to our country, steal our film roles and make everyone fall in love with you. But it's a whole other story when you start criticizing our most beloved restaurants.
Please Emma, tell me the London equivalent to TGI Fridays? Oh, what? You can't? Is that because fried macaroni and cheese bites haven't made their way across the pond yet? That's what I thought Emma.
If she really thinks that she can come to our shores, spit on Lady Liberty and get away with it, well she has another thing coming — and it's called unlimited democracy. It goes great with soup, salad and breadsticks.
Even when you have to wait awhile for the waitress to notice that your goddamn soup bowl needs refilling.

The Series
View Works in this theme
Japanese landscape prints were often issued in series — such as views of the provinces, famous views around Japan's major cities and of Mount Fuji. The Japanese people revered Mount Fuji as a sacred site of deep spiritual significance.
Edo did not experience the atmospheric pollution of today's Tokyo and the mountain was clearly visible from many parts of the capital, as can be seen in Hokusai's two series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, and his three-volume illustrated book, One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji. Both series met with popular acclaim. His choice of 'thirty-six' and 'one hundred' views had associations with the classical Japanese anthologies of poems by thirty-six and one hundred poets.
The idea of devoting a series to a single motif such as Mount Fuji — presenting different aspects according to the season, the weather, the time of day and the artist's viewpoint — may have been an inspiration for Monet's series, as can be seen in his paintings of poplars, haystacks and his waterlily pool.
Monet was not interested in painting nature in a descriptive manner, he said that he wanted to be true to his 'sensation of nature', that is, to what he perceived in nature. After nearly 30 years of painting in the open air, he had become extraordinarily sensitive to the fact that, when light changed, his whole perception of a landscape changed.
Monet represented different light effects by applying countless strokes of varied colours. A change of light would require him to change his colour scheme. He developed the practice of stopping work on a painting when light changed, and resuming only when that effect of light had returned. This led him to paint multiple versions of simple motifs in the meadows near his home — he produced 30 paintings of haystacks from 1888 to1891, and 19 of poplars in 1892.Monet was probably influenced by Japanese artists' practice of producing several views; most notably in Hokusai's celebrated Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (of which Monet owned nine prints), and his Hundred Views of Mount Fuji (also in Monet's collection). Hokusai explored the mountain's continually changing relationship to its surroundings and showed how changes of light transformed its pure geometry. Similarly, Monet depicted the relationships between haystacks, hills and trees, and the way the passage of light through the day and through the seasons changed the simple geometry of the haystacks.

Physicist to discuss painting, motorcycles, May 7-8
Posted May 3, 2002; 02:22 p.m.
Physicist Charles Falco, whose interests range from optical sciences to Renaissance painting to motorcycles, will present two lectures on campus Tuesday and Wednesday, May 7-8.
He will speak on "Through a Looking Glass: The Art of the Science of Renaissance Painting" on Tuesday and "The Art and Science of the Motorcycle" on Wednesday. Both lectures begin at 8 p.m. in McCosh 50.
Falco is a professor of optical sciences at the University of Arizona, where he holds the UA Chair of Condensed Matter Physics. He is a fellow of both the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America, has published more than 250 scientific manuscripts and co-edited two books, and has seven U.S. patents.
His first lecture will describe research he has conducted with British portrait painter David Hockney. The two have worked together to prove that artists as early as the 1400s used lenses to help them paint -- 200 years before scientists began using lenses.
In his second lecture, Falco will examine the interrelationship of technological, cultural, sociological, aesthetic and gender-related factors over the past century that have resulted in standard production motorcycles. A longtime motorcycle enthusiast, Falco co-curated an award-winning exhibit in 1997 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City on "The Art of the Motorcycle."
Falco's talks are designated as Louis Clark Vanuxem Lectures and are part of the University's Public Lectures Series. They will be Webcast. For viewing information, see the "Lecture" listing on the Web Media page.

In a blog last week, I wrote about the clever countertop fix in this year's Designer Showhouse kitchen. But just upstairs was another bright, clever, low-cost idea. In the upstairs hall, designers Anna Lassiter and Lucinda Robinson of Eden Boheme had to find a way to dress up a significant amount of wall space—the long narrow corridor was the thruway to all four rooms on the second floor. "In most houses, hallways are a good spot for family photos, but with no residents, we had to find something different to dress it up," says Lassiter. And it's a good thing too... After all, what started as a design space that needed primping simply because it's a high-traffic area and you simply can't ignore it (though many of us do) ended up being a true high point of the tour.
Instead of framing up photos, the two looked to wallpaper—not as an all-over wall covering, but as simple, vibrant artwork. Choosing six different patterns, they cut 24" x 78" panels of each (width of a standard roll), fitted them into wood frames painted silver, and hung them as a series against a backdrop of high-gloss grey wall paint. The result? Instant glam without spending a ton of money or time.
(Note: Love the idea but have NO time to pull it together? These gals are selling their panels in their King Street shop...)
One last note: Try this in your dining room! And keep in mind the high-gloss paint is a smart choice for anyone looking for a little drama.

US drones "terrorize" communities: study
The US government's drone program in Pakistan "terrorizes" local communities, kills large numbers of civilians and drives anti-American fervor in the country, a new study by the law schools of Stanford and New York University finds.
The study, titled "Living Under Drones," finds that Pakistanis living in affected areas are afraid to attend public gatherings such as weddings and funerals as ground operators that guide the unmanned aircraft frequently mistake them as groups of al-Qaeda-linked fighters.

Yesterday's #bike trip - Ellicott City #csx train #derailment clean up continues - #biking
In my experience, bicyclists tend to be green, somewhat anarchistic, and civicly engaged. It is great when you can use your bicycle to stand up for what you believe in, something that many bicycle commuters do every day. After 35 years of bicycle commuting, I decided that I would try to extend my range with some serious bicycle training over the course of the summer. Living in the Baltimore area makes this easy with many miles of gorgeous bicycle trails, many of them in the beautiful area parks. Yesterday, I managed to ride over 55 miles in a single day. This was a personal record for me, both in terms of time and of distance. I had such a great time that only wanted more. There is much to say about this trip, but first the pictures.
Patapsco Park has loads of classic natural beauty and tons of history as well.
According to this plaque in Patapsco State Park, the river valley was home to America's first railroad. This trip, I managed to check in at the information center in Ellicott City, and the staff confirmed this. Back in the day, you could ride the first train from Baltimore to Ellicott City.
Behind the plaque, you can see blocky stone cuts, that likely formed the trestle for the old rail. Down the river is the site of an old flour mill. There is much more great history in this park, and matters of environmental concern as well. It is currently being discussed whether to remove an old industrial dam from the river, in order to eliminate an artificial habitat division and fish barrier. I think this is probably a good idea.
While I was in Ellicott City, I stopped in again at the CSX train derailment site to see how the clean up is progressing. On the rails, there was this truck, which is presumably being used to vacuum up the remaining coal. Progress is slow, but it continues.
I ranged very widely on this trip. I'll try to post an image of the map later. Here is a link to the Google map showing the approximate route.
Most notable is likely the Annapolis road portion, which is not listed as passible in Google. I'd be confident taking my bicycle trailer on this portion of Annapolis road, but use due caution at the I895 clover leaf. Also, be sure to move to the Baltimore/Annapolis trail, if you go south of Cromwell. There is a beautiful park in Balitimore Highlands, adjacent to this road, which is worth checking out. If you get tired, there is easy access to the Light Rail along Annapolis road. If someone wants to give me the right Google link, I'd be happy to submit the Annapolis Rd data. Next time, I'll try Lansdowne Rd. If I were coming up the East Coast Greenway, I might try to camp in the park, although it is against regulations. ;-) There are also some little used off-rode biking trails in the park. I think that the parks are far more beautiful by bicycle.
If you have been reading these blog entries, you might remember that I saw a giant owl in Patapsco State Park the last time I was there. I could scarcely believe my eyes, in part because the great bird flew absolutely silently. On my way out of Ellicott City, I took the Old Trolley Trail, and I met a couple who confirmed that they had also seen two of these nearly waist high owls along that trail. Old Trolley Trail is another gorgeous spot, and I'm not surprised that the owls made their home there.
Here are the names of the places and trails that I visited on the trip. Any one of them is worth visiting, especially by bicycle. Bike trails: Middle Branch, BWI, Old Trolley out of Ellicott City, Gwynns Falls,& Jones Falls. Places: Baltimore City, BWI, Patapsco State Park, Ellicott City, Gwynns Falls park,& back via Druid Hill Park.
The ride was so enjoyable that I would gladly have continued up to the NCR trailhead in Cockeysville to complete 75+ miles. Alas, nightfall arrived, and with it rain, so I reluctantly decided to try again another day.
If you are interested in my previous photos of the CSX train derailment site and clean up, here are links to those stories.

On Anniv. of Afghanistan War: Say No to War and Sanctions on Syria and Iran
On the Anniversary of the Afghanistan War:
Organizers for the main protest on the 11th anniversary here in Chicago, have omitted the issue of Syria and Iran, but ANSWER will be making both a central part of our slogans and literature.The governments of Iran and Syria have been targeted for overthrow by the U.S. government. The reason that U.S. imperialism wants to carry out regime change in Syria and Iran is that both governments have been independent of the U.S. and the former NATO colonizers of the region. The foreign policy of the U.S. government is to replace these governments with proxy or client regimes. It is not about "democracy" or "human rights" or "nuclear weapons." Those are just excuses. Remember that George W. Bush used the same or similar pretexts to invade Iraq in 2003 and Obama did the same to justify the massive bombing of Libya in 2011.Every time the U.S. targets a government for overthrow they first fully demonize the target in the mass media. They create a caricature of the target. They make it seem to the people that their next war is for a good cause and has just reasons.Instead of accommodating itself to the public demonization campaign constructed by the war makers, anti-war organizations need to be strong enough to expose the lies.The ANSWER Coalition believes that it is an absolute requirement to organize public opposition to the Pentagon/CIA campaign to bring down the Syrian and Iranian governments. That is what we will do at the upcoming October 7 demonstration in Chicago.For more information about Oct 7. click here

Commentary: What is an African American life worth?
Columnist reflects on Trayvon Martin's death, George Zimmerman's statements
By Derrell Connor
Special To Channel 3000
So it was all "God's plan."
That was the statement made by George Zimmerman in his interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity this past week. Zimmerman also said he had no regrets about what happened the night he shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Ever since this case hit the national spotlight, I have been very disappointed with how the media has reported it, carelessly manipulating it into a racial lightening rod.
Like most incidents with a racial component, the Martin case has been taken to both extremes. On one side, Zimmerman is a racist who spotted, profiled, followed, confronted and shot Martin only because he was black. On the other, Martin was a thug who was up to no good, who attacked Zimmerman from behind and was trying to kill him before that fatal shot that took Martin's life.
While I believe that there is a possibility that Martin may have been the aggressor in the confrontation with Zimmerman, there are two depressing thoughts that come to mind. First is the grim reality that the life of an African American is not worth as much as it should be.
Second is the fact that some find it hard to believe that Martin may have been walking home from the store, minding his own business, only to have Zimmerman set this whole sad tale in motion by following Martin.
Zimmerman argues that he was just defending himself. That may be true -- after all, none of us were there, and there's little doubt that a fight took place. But if you were Trayvon Martin, what would you do if a stranger were following you? Would you run away, or would you confront him? If the self defense and stand your ground laws are designed to protect those who are faced with a threat to their lives, then what about a young man who's being followed by vehicle and later on foot? Shouldn't you have the right to defend yourself?
Listen, I'm no fool. I'm well aware of the negative stereotypes attached to young black men. I'm also cognizant of the fact that, unfortunately, there are some who are living up to and reinforcing those stereotypes. You can simply pick up a newspaper or watch the local news see it play out live and in living color. I've written columns about it, and it pains me to do so. But not all young black men are criminals. In fact, most of them aren't. Just like the fact that most Caucasians aren't racists. But the message that we seem to be sending is that when you're young, male and black, you're too often considered guilty until proven innocent.
In these situations I often ask people to put themselves in someone else's shoes. What if this tragedy involved a young white victim and an adult black or Hispanic perpetrator, who claimed that he was defending himself because he was attacked? What would be the reaction? I'm not saying Zimmerman is guilty -- his trial will determine that.
But would there be a website and donations made to a legal fund? Would Sean Hannity and Barbara Walters clamor for the opportunity to interview him? And yes, I'm aware that folks like Rev. Al Sharpton and others have rushed to Martin's defense. But remember, Martin is the one who is dead, not Zimmerman. The gun belonged to Zimmerman, not Martin. Which makes Martin the victim in the eyes of many.
Later in the interview with Hannity, Zimmerman somewhat softened his "God's will" statement with the admission that he's sorry the Martin family had to bury their son, and that he prays for them every night. I wish he would completely back off the God's will attitude as well, because last I checked, I don't think I've ever been taught that it's God's will to kill anyone.
