Gabriel Schoenfeld  from Commentarymagazine.com
To hear some tell it, the fundamental freedom of the press promised by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is in peril today as perhaps never before. In his four decades representing the media, says Floyd Abrams, one of the country's leading First Amendment lawyers, the work of reporting has "never been as seriously threatened as it is today.� Norman Pearlstine, until recently the editor-in-chief of Time Inc., warns that today's situation "chills essential news-gathering and reporting.� William Safire, the longtime columnist for the New York Times, says "the ability of journalists to gather the news� is "under attack.� Nicholas Kristof, also a Times columnist, says "we're seeing a broad assault on freedom of the press that would appall us if it were happening in Kazakhstan.�
The source of the problem, according to these and other concerned observers, is the American government, in the form of the White House and the Justice Department. Both are threatening to prevent journalists from doing their work by depriving them of the right to rely on confidential sources of information: the lifeblood of the journalistic profession and the prime avenue through which the public learns about impending shifts in policy, about official wrongdoing, and about much else besides.
Overstated or not, such worries reflect continuing reverberations from a number of recent cases. The most prominent involves Judith Miller, a reporter for the New York Times who had gathered information about the leak of an undercover CIA officer's name in possible violation of the Intelligence Identities Act. In his effort to uncover the leaker, the government's special counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, brought Miller before a grand jury in 2005 to answer questions about what she had learned.
Declining to disgorge her confidential sources, and citing her First Amendment rights as a journalist, Miller refused to testify. In July 2005, the judge presiding over the process held her in contempt. She spent the next 85 days in the Alexandria City jail before finally naming her source: I. Lewis "Scooter� Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.1
The spectacle of a reporter from our country's premier newspaper going to prison for almost three months was only the most visible example of the heavy hand of government. Another journalist, a video blogger by the name of Josh Wolf, is currently sitting in a California jail for declining to turn over to a grand jury video clips of an anarchist riot in San Francisco. And there are similar cases elsewhere that have stirred fears among reporters over the increasing legal hazards of their work—not to mention the alarm of those like Floyd Abrams who are convinced that the public's fundamental access to vital news is being impaired by an overreaching officialdom, bent on protecting itself from legitimate scrutiny.
With such apprehensions on the rise, Congress has come under increasing pressure to establish an official reporter's privilege—analogous to the attorney-client, the priest-penitent, and the husband-wife privilege that already exist in law—exempting a journalist from having to disclose his sources in any federal criminal investigation or trial. Today some 31 states have formally created such a "shield law,� while everywhere else, with the exception of Wyoming, reporters enjoy a more qualified privilege as a matter of common law. Only the federal system remains without such a statute—a deficit that a coalition of news organizations and First Amendment activists now seeks to rectify in the new Congress.
A number of prominent Republicans, including Senators Arlen Specter and Richard Lugar, have long championed such a law. The new chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, and a bevy of other Democrats including Charles Schumer of New York and Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, are also firmly behind it. With bipartisan support in place, and with the Democrats now in charge, the prospects for passage of such a bill are better than they have been for a generation.
In its modern form, the issue of a reporter's privilege is exceptionally nettlesome, and has been so ever since the Supreme Court ruling in Branzburg v. Hayes (1972). That ruling brought together a number of then-recent cases. Paul Branzburg, a reporter for the Louisville Courier-Journal, had witnessed people manufacturing and using illegal narcotics. More or less at the same time, two other journalists, a Massachusetts television reporter and a reporter for the New York Times, were also believed to have witnessed behavior that appeared to be illegal. All three were summoned to testify before grand juries. All three, citing the First Amendment, declined to answer questions about their confidential sources. All three were held in contempt.
Presenting the same set of legal issues, the three cases were combined and made their way up to the Supreme Court. Its majority decision, written by Justice Byron White, held that the First Amendment did not offer a privilege for journalists that "other citizens do not enjoy,� and the Court emphatically declined to create one.
White's ruling was crystalline in its logic and seemingly absolute in its conclusion. But it did not put an end to controversy. For one thing, nothing in White's ruling barred Congress from establishing a reporter's privilege as an act of law. For another thing, the 5-4 decision of the Court was itself deeply muddied by a concurring opinion, written by Justice Lewis Powell, which even Powell's colleagues called "enigmatic.�
While adding his name to White's decision, Powell undercut its central premise by suggesting that courts should operate on a case-by-case basis, the better to strike "a proper balance between freedom of the press and the obligation of all citizens to give relevant testimony with respect to criminal conduct.� Leaving unspecified the ground rules for this balancing act, Powell's opinion had the effect of plunging lower courts into confusion. Today, five of the twelve circuits in the federal system have relied on Branzburg to compel journalists to provide confidential information; another four, basing themselves on Powell's inscrutable words, have granted journalists a qualified privilege.
This confusion has only added fuel to the latest push for a shield law. But is such a privilege warranted? And is it desirable?
In considering those questions, one might profitably turn to another case now before the courts. This one, too, involves Patrick Fitzgerald and Judith Miller, and centers on the disclosure of sensitive government material. In contrast to the Scooter Libby affair, this case is surprisingly low-profile; and again in contrast to the Scooter Libby affair, it is of exceptional national importance.
In December 2001, federal law-enforcement officers were preparing to raid the offices and seize the assets of the Holy Land Foundation and the Global Relief Foundation—two Chicago-based Islamic "charities,� both of which were linked to terrorist organizations abroad. Evidently, on the eve of the raid, Miller and another Times reporter, Philip Shenon, acting on confidential information from a source inside a federal grand jury, telephoned officials of the two foundations and asked them questions that had the effect of tipping them off to the impending operation, thereby potentially if not actually nullifying its value and imperiling the law officers carrying it out.
Given this breach of closely held information, Fitzgerald, acting in his capacity as U.S. attorney in Chicago, opened an investigation. Among other things, he issued a subpoena for the telephone records of the two Times reporters during the period in which the leak was thought to have occurred.
The Times strenuously resisted, and for the last four or five years the matter has slowly moved through the courts. This past August, a three-judge federal panel ruled against the Times. "We see no danger to a free press� in so ruling, wrote one of the panel's members. "Learning of imminent law-enforcement-asset freezes/searches and informing targets of them is not an activity essential, or even common, to journalism.� In December, the Supreme Court, declining to hear an appeal, let stand the decision of the three-judge panel.
The Times, for its part, has steadfastly insisted that no damage was done by its reporters' actions. According to an attorney for the paper, the pair were merely "conducting their journalistic duties by getting reaction to an ongoing story.� The Times editorial page has blasted the Supreme Court's December action as "the latest legal blow to the diminishing right of journalists to shield informants.� Citing the public interest in the "dissemination of information,� it has seized the occasion to argue yet again that the "privilege granted to journalists to protect their sources needs to be bolstered with a strong federal shield law.�
But the Times is wrong. For here is an instance, one of many in the recent past, where it is hardly clear that the public interest resides in promoting the "dissemination of information.� To the contrary, where protecting the country from terrorism is at stake, the public interest may rather reside in narrowing access to information, and not in broadcasting it to terrorist fundraisers and to the public at large. Although the two reporters have not been charged with any crime, and although there is no evidence that either of them acted with malicious intent, a convincing argument can be made that in ferreting out secret information from a grand jury, and in placing telephone calls to criminal suspects on that basis, they endangered us all.
Considerations like these have, in fact, informed recent congressional debates over whether to enact a shield law. Thus, a bill considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2005 made a point of excluding from any such privilege information that posed "imminent� harm to national security—a very narrow exclusion that was duly subjected to withering criticism by the Justice Department. The following year, a bill introduced by Lugar and Specter appeared to take Justice's concerns into account, broadening the array of unprotected categories to include, among other things, any information necessary to government in fulfilling its obligation to "prevent significant and actual harm� to national security.
A parade of Senators have pronounced themselves satisfied with this compromise, hailing it as a way of ensuring the flow of information to the public while also safeguarding genuine secrets. But a moment's reflection exposes the defect in this reasoning. For what exactly constitutes "significant and actual harm� to national security, and how would a court, of all institutions, go about determining it?
The military, diplomatic, and intelligence machinery of the U.S. government, acting under the authority of presidential executive orders and employing criminal sanctions enacted by Congress, classifies an immense volume of information. It also keeps a careful account of what it is doing—tabulating, for example, 14,206,773 "classification decisions� in fiscal year 2005 alone.2 Three primary categories are in use—top-secret, secret, and confidential—of which the overwhelming share is "secret.� According to official definitions, the disclosure of "top-secret� or "secret� material "could reasonably be expected� to cause either "exceptionally grave� or "serious� damage to the United States, while disclosure of "confidential� material "could reasonably be expected� to cause only "damage.� By passing a shield law that requires prosecutors to demonstrate "significant and actual harm� before compelling a journalist to testify, Congress would effectively dismantle this entire classification system without erecting any safeguards in its place.
To begin with, while leaving statutes on the books that ostensibly criminalize leaks of all classified documents, the exception would almost automatically free journalists who come into possession of "confidential� information from the possibility of ever being subpoenaed—on its face, mere "damage� would not qualify as "significant� harm. But even "secret� and "top-secret� material might also not fall under the exception, since "actual� harm is virtually impossible to prove, hinging almost always on an evaluation of actions taken in secret by an adversary about which we may not ever learn. It is for this very reason that the rules of the classification system do not speak of actual harm, safeguarding instead information that could "reasonably be expected� to injure our national security.
A shield law, in other words, would effectively immunize one large category of leakers at a stroke, and perhaps immunize almost all leakers, dramatically intensifying the flow of even the most sensitive secrets into the public domain. Every bureaucrat with a private agenda would feel free to contact a Judith Miller or an even more prolific collector of leaks like the New Yorker's Seymour Hersh to relay classified national-defense information without any apprehension of ever being arrested or prosecuted on the basis of something that might one day be disclosed by a reporter in a court proceeding.
Protecting national secrets is already a problematic venture. Some of the most notorious leaks of the past several years have been not of the confidential but of the secret and top-secret variety. Thus, in 2005, the Washington Post revealed a highly classified network of clandestine CIA prisons in Europe for al-Qaeda captives. That same year, the New York Times disclosed the existence of a highly classified National Security Agency program of government surveillance of al-Qaeda suspects.3 In 2006, the Times revealed a highly classified program monitoring al-Qaeda financial transactions; most recently, it published the contents of a highly classified memo revealing administration misgivings about the prime minister of Iraq, a leak described by one government official as among the most damaging in recent memory. And this is not even to take account of leaks from the criminal-justice system like police and FBI investigative reports, surveillance tapes, and grand-jury transcripts (as in the Holy Land Foundation case) that are not marked with a classification stamp.
Such leaks have proliferated, even though Branzburg is on the books and the shadow of Judith Miller's imprisonment has supposedly given pause to informants considering whether they can trust a reporter. This hardly suggests that journalists are in desperate need of a shield law to induce leakers to impart information to them. On the contrary, such a law would only unleash a great tidal wave of leaks, to be followed inevitably by an equally destructive backwash of litigation.
In the case of each such contested leak, courts would be asked to weigh whether the disclosed information caused "significant and actual harm� to national security, which in every instance the press would deny, claiming (a) that the information at issue, even if secret or top secret, was improperly classified and (b) that disclosure of this information provided a vital service to the public weal. The main effect of a shield law would thus be to the draw the judicial branch into the very heart of foreign-policy decisionmaking, requiring judges to evaluate matters that they lack either the expertise or the experience to assess. As a result, the confusion that now exists among the various federal circuit courts would not be cleared up; it would be deepened.
And even that is not the end of it. Any legislation in this area would ineluctably have to specify exactly who is worthy of being shielded. Anticipating this very problem, Justice White observed in Branzburg that, sooner or later, administering a constitutional privilege for reporters would necessitate defining "those categories of newsmen who qualified for the privilege.� But such a procedure, he noted, would itself inevitably do violence to "the traditional doctrine that liberty of the press is the right of the lonely pamphleteer who uses carbon paper or a mimeograph just as much as of the large metropolitan publisher who utilizes the latest photocomposition methods.�
The Lugar-Specter bill already does precisely this sort of violence. It defines the term "journalist� as a person who, "for financial gain or livelihood,� is engaged in the news business "as a salaried employee of or independent contractor� to a news agency. This definition, with its emphasis on monetary compensation, no doubt applies to many journalists. But it excludes many more. And it takes a large first step toward erecting a system of federally recognized or federally licensed journalists.
In the Internet age, the functional equivalent of the lonely pamphleteer is the lonely blogger, working at home in front of his computer screen. Internet blogs have become a major force in the dissemination of news and opinion; one has only to recall the role played by the website PowerLine.com in unmasking the fraudulent documents employed by Dan Rather and CBS in their 2004 election-eve coverage of the military service of George W. Bush. In the Lugar-Specter version of a shield law, bloggers would be ineligible for membership in the new privileged caste.
Nor would they be alone. As Justice White stressed in Branzburg, freedom of the press is not a right "confined to newspapers and periodicals� but rather a "fundamental personal right� that attaches to all of us. Any effort to restrict this personal right to a few select professionals will collide with the reality that "[t]he informative function asserted by representatives of the organized press . . . is also performed by lecturers, political pollsters, novelists, academic researchers, and dramatists.� Herein, continued White, lies the difficulty in crafting a shield, for almost any author "may quite accurately assert that he is contributing to the flow of information to the public, that he relies on confidential sources of information, and that these sources will be silenced if he is forced to make disclosures before a grand jury.�
The proposed shield legislation attempts to surmount this difficulty by excluding amateurs and many other categories of purveyors of information from its reach—thereby violating the spirit if not the letter of the First Amendment. Even worse, however, is that it would include under its protection all sorts of highly dubious professional journalists: American reporters in the employ of Al Jazeera, the pan-Arab broadcasting company, for example; American journalists working in, say, the Washington bureau of the Chinese Communist party's People's Daily; journalists for extremist domestic publications like the Nation of Islam's The Call, or the Liberty Lobby's avowedly racist Spotlight, or Lyndon LaRouche's crackpot Executive Intelligence Review. So long as they were drawing a salary, they too could receive immunity for any leaked confidential information they collected or published.
So where does that leave us? When all is said and done, do we really want to retain a system that on occasion can imprison journalists merely for going about their daily work? Is there perhaps some alternative, short of enacting a shield law, that would avoid that untoward result?
A better question is this: do we need such an alternative? Despite what newsmen and their lawyers incessantly tell us, our current laws governing confidential informants do not require journalists to go to prison ever. On the contrary, this is always a choice they make of their own free will. Like every journalist who has dealt with a confidential informant, Judith Miller made a series of such choices, each of her own volition, before she was led away to her cell. They are worth reviewing.
In the first place, as she went about gathering information about the leak of an (allegedly) undercover CIA officer, Miller was under no obligation to promise her contacts in or out of government that she was prepared to violate U.S. law to protect their identity. In seeking to gain their trust and cooperation, she might have chosen to promise something less—that, for example, she would never disclose their identity unless she herself were subpoenaed. Such a promise might well have sufficed to elicit the information she was pursuing while avoiding any suggestion that she was ready to go to prison to keep her word.
Many confidential informants would readily accept such terms, as Miller's own case eventually proved. For after she was hit with a contempt citation, I. Lewis Libby, the man who turned out to be her principal source, offered to sign letters freeing her of any obligation to observe promises of confidentiality she had made. What this suggests is that an absolute promise, one that holds the potential of dragging a reporter into conflict with the law, is likely to be necessary only under extraordinary circumstances.
The Justice Department has its own highly restrictive internal guidelines that sharply limit the circumstances in which it will subpoena reporters. Historically, indeed, such subpoenas have been rare; the Justice Department has issued only 12 over the past 15 years.4 Ours is thus not a hostile environment for journalists but a congenial one, assuring them that they need incur the risk of offering an absolute promise of confidentiality only when the information at stake is worth the highest price in terms of the public's right to know. There was certainly no information of such value in the Miller fiasco. Whatever she learned from Libby, she wrote about only in her notebook; neither she nor, evidently, her editors ever thought it sufficiently important to be printed in the pages of the New York Times.5
Confronted by a subpoena to a grand jury, and having failed to quash that subpoena, Miller still could have chosen to avoid jail merely by following the law of the land, fulfilling her obligation as a citizen to tell the grand jury what she knew about a possible crime. This she declined to do. But despite the plaudits she earned from many for keeping her promises, it is debatable whether this act of civil disobedience on her part was either honorable or wise. For what Miller was defying was the will not only of the special counsel or of the Supreme Court but of the highest power in a democracy, namely, the American people.
At the time Miller was incarcerated, the American people acting through their elected representatives had had decades to contemplate establishing a testimonial privilege for journalists. Up until then, and indeed up until this moment, they have declined to bestow such a privilege on a profession they do not hold in particularly high esteem. Successive Congresses have considered the idea of a shield law only to reject it; and as I have tried to show, they have had good reasons for rejecting it. It was proper that Miller should have been cited for contempt, for she was being contemptuous of a grand-jury process that is the cornerstone of our criminal laws.
Once again, Justice White cut to the essence. "[I]t is obvious,� he wrote in Branzburg, "that agreements to conceal information relevant to commission of crime have very little to recommend them from the standpoint of public policy.� Historically, White pointed out, citizens not only are forbidden to conceal a crime, they have a positive "duty to raise the 'hue and cry' and report felonies to the authorities.� Concealment, even of a crime in which one is oneself not a participant, is itself a crime—misprision of a felony—punishable by a statute enacted by the very first Congress and still on the books. Covering up a crime, wrote White, "deserves no encomium, and we decline to afford it First Amendment protection by denigrating the duty of a citizen, whether reporter or informer, to respond to grand-jury subpoena and answer relevant questions put to him.�
The claim that Miller, or any other journalist in similar circumstances, had no choice but to go jail is, therefore, specious in the extreme, a rationalization put forward by spokesmen of the establishment media in their own effort to gain and maintain their privileges and powers. These they require not in order to report the news but rather, it would appear, to ratify their self-proclaimed position as the arbiters and shapers of American opinion. In the performance of that role, they fancy, their exalted position should place them beyond the reach of American law.
A free press is a vital component of our democracy, but it is not the only component. The same preamble of the Constitution that speaks of securing "the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity� also speaks of insuring "domestic tranquility� and providing "for the common defense.� At a moment when the United States faces the present danger of assault by Islamic terrorists and is struggling to protect itself from falling victim to a second September 11, a murmuration of over-zealous, self-interested, and mistaken advocates is striving to shield the press's freedom of movement at the expense of many if not all of the competing imperatives of a system based upon the rule of law. By acquiescing in this hubristic folly, Congress would do a disservice both to the First Amendment and to the security of the American people.

Recycled Childhood: The Land of Oz
What is it with the Land of Oz that inspires so many rehashings, reimaginings, and recyclings? Is it that there's nobody on the planet who hasn't heard of the Wizard of Oz? Is it that there's something in the collective conscience that makes us want to return there? Was it that L. Frank Baum wrote something so magical and personal that it needs to be revisited? Or is it that the Oz books were always told through the sheen and magic of a child's unquestioning perception and therefore begs to be seen through the eyes of an adult?
Why not Narnia? Prydain? Mount Olympus? Middle Earth? What is it about Oz that keeps people coming back to it? Is it just so endearing? If it's a part of all our childhoods, then why do we seek to add a dark, gritty, evil tone to it? Maybe Oz is so endearing that we want to go there again and again, but we've outgrown that simplistic childhood joy, so we need to taint it with our adult worldview so we can still experience the magic of our youth while being able to accept it with our aged sensibilities.
Or is it simply that the Oz books are in the public domain and therefore open to revisit in any way an author can imagine without the threat of crippling lawsuits? Oz is something we all know, so a good writer with a good twist has a whole world to draw in and one we all know.
I am in the middle of a rabid revisit to Oz. The books touched me as a child and were something I returned to over and over. I'm listening to the audio book for Wicked and plan to make my way through all four of Gregory Maguire's Wicked Years books (some of which I have not yet read). Just today I've found another series of books by Danielle Paige, the first book of which is titled Dorothy Must Die, and it tells of another Kansas girl blown to Oz who finds that Dorothy is now the ruler of Oz…and has gone evil.
There's a game for the iPhone called Oz: Broken Kingdom which I'm playing the hell out of. The developers of this game did their homework, and any fan of the Oz books will squeal in joy at all their old friends making an appearance: Pollychrome, Jack Pumpkinhead, the Shaggy Man, Ozma, H.M. Woggle-Bug T.E., the Sawhorse, and many others. There's an old game for the Nintendo DS, The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, which I have had and may play sometime soon.
The original books are available for the Kindle with all the original pictures beautifully rendered for the eBook format, published by Eltanin. Also, there are the beautiful comics by Eric Shanower, which I own all of (unfortunately, they seem to have stopped just before doing The Patchwork Girl of Oz, my favorite Oz book). If you have any interest in Oz, you owe it to yourself to check them out.
I'm mixing the old and the new, the childish magic with the adult themes, the old wonder with the new discovery. And I can't get enough. Does anyone else have a series like this you can dive into again and again, one which can satisfy your craving for the peace and wonder of childhood, yet stimulate your adult mind? Or, rather, how many can you return to? Hogwarts, Narnia, Oz, Middle Earth, any of them…or all of them. Who has the magic portal?

Parents are usually in the best position to understand their children and that is why mediation produces productive parenting plans. Parents can be torn by the tension between what they want and what may be best for each child. It is critical in almost every case that both parents build and maintain healthy relationships with each child.
In a divorce, parties go through the anguish of rebuilding lives, building new families, and other major changes. As parents go through divorce and afterwards, their parenting plan should have some guiding principles for a parenting plan, including:
· Maximize Communication. Parents need not love each other to maintain communication. They need respect and honor. Communication should be child-centered and not involve private areas of each person's new life unless it touches upon the child's life. For example, when a new romantic relationship is to be introduced to a child, the other parent should be advised. If anger or abusive behavior interferes, use email and text messages (and save them). Children should never be used to carry communication between parents; they are not messengers.
· Minimize the Loss to the Child. Divorce usually represents a loss to a child, and can involve uprooting from friends, schools, extended family and community. Even worse is the loss a child might perceive that one parent is abandoning the child. Reducing these changes and perceptions of abandonment are important at least in the initial separation and when the children are younger. Some children, no matter the age, never lose the feelings of abandonment.
· Maximize the Relationship With Each Parent. A goal is the creation of a sense of family where the child feels that he/she has a reasonable and comfortable access to each parent in a new family situation. This can be accomplished when there is time sharing which meets the needs of the child and the availability of the parents.
These are significant points. As a lawyer and mediator, I have seen these concepts ignored to the detriment to a child, such as when one parent, out of revenge or anger, tries to limit the other parent's access to the child. I have seen instances where one parent wants most of the time with the child, overlooking that he/she needs to maintain adult relationship and responsibilities and needs adult time separated from a child. Sadly, I have also seen instances where one parent values a relationship with a child less than moving on to a new life. Let me help you create a healthy parenting plan.

Halfway Home
by Nicholas Batdorf
I saw you walking by,
A figment of my mind,
The echo of my dream.
Blink once, blink twice
And you were never here
The way the wind makes smoke disappear.
Poof! In passing
You've left me asking
Who? What? How?
If only I could have a name.
Maybe I'd remember.
Remember you forever.
But as fast as you came
You're already gone.
Like a phantom in the daylight
Running from the sun.
IMAGE: "Woman of Mystery" by Fernand Khnopff (1909)
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: I wrote this poem at my first day in a drug and alcohol halfway home treatment facility. I had spent the last five months incarcerated or in an in-patient drug and alcohol facility, and this was my first step towards freedom. My intake to the halfway home coincided with a Puerto Rican Pride block party the halfway home shared the street with. The atmosphere was not deemed recovery-friendly, and no one was allowed off of the premises. I was so close to a taste of freedom, but caged within an alleyway on the premises, watching merry partygoers pass. And then I saw her. A tall, graceful woman with dark hair and sun-kissed skin. And in those few moments of her passing by the gateway separating us, time stood still and an eternity of questions and scenarios ran through my mind. What I would have given to even have just a name to attribute to such beauty, a shred of identity to credit that musical, confident walk to. Just as quickly as she came, she was gone. And with her, the music and the light of day seemed to fade.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Nicholas Batdorf is an avid musician as well as a writer of poetry. His love of music carries forth throughout his writing in his lyrical, rhythmic style. A lover of the visual arts, Nicholas uses vivid imagery to lend his readers' imaginations ample space to wander within his poems.

UPDATE, 11/6/2012: New Jersey's Lietuetant Governor has extended deadline for email/fax ballots after county clerks were overwhelmed: "In a directive issued this afternoon. Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno has instructed county clerks to accept applications for mail-in ballots by fax or e-mail through 5 p.m. today. Clerks will process those applications throughout the week, and ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. Friday…'It has become apparent that the county clerks are receiving applications at a rate that outpaces their capacity to process them without an extension of the current schedule," Guadagno said. 'If a displaced voter can vote by other means, they are urged to do so.'"
There's also a lot of talk on NJ.com and already a bit elsewhere that this vote by email system is being used for "convenience" by some voters, not just those who are displaced. Generally, I'm hearing a lot of disapproval in the tone of those reports–and it's somewhat warranted, I understand, because this system is rife for abuse in electronic hacking and didn't have enough time to get security up. But two points: 1. Clearly, people LIKE voting from their home, so let's try to work on that in the future. 2. What exactly constitutes a "displaced" voter is unclear. Obviously, those people living down the shore who are foraging through rubble to find family heirlooms are displaced–they're addressed floated away, they're staying with friends or in shelter. But what about someone like me, a refugee from the cold front coming in while I still don't have power? I happened to have a friend in my town I could stay with, so I voted as usual, but what if I stayed near work, in a different county? I'll reflect more on lessons learned after voters have been cast, the important thing here is to get out the word that electronic voting has been EXTENDED.
If you've been without power like me for several days or – much, much worse – suffered the loss of your property or a loved one in the aftermath of Sandy, you may have lost track of time. But tomorrow is, in fact, November 6, and the end of this long, long election season. I'm a bit of a political junkie, but the storm has left me without the energy (and really, without TV or internet, the resources) to keep up with recent campaigning. That not withstanding, I'm excited to pop into my polling place tomorrow and cast my vote; it's only my second presidential election, so I'll be voting come hell or high water – and we've had a little of both here in New Jersey. Blog is being update as more information comes in.
If you don't know where your polling place is, Google has an outstanding voter resource page to let you look it up; if you're in an area impacted by the storm, it can also help you find out what the next step is if you're polling place has been affected, including where you may be able to go if early voting is an option and getting to your polling place will be tough. If you don't have regular internet access, you can text WHERE to 877877 – it will ask for your address, and send you info as to where you can vote and if your polling place has changed. I gave this a whirl–system is fast, accurate, and provides polling place address and hours.
Big props to New Jersey for making things easier for those of us hit by the storm. In addition to your local polling place, you also have the opportunity vote early in your County Clerk's Office. Use that Google map to find out where you can go.
Unable to get anywhere because of the gas situation, or because you've relocated to someplace with heat/power? New Jersey has provisions in place to allow you to vote via email or fax (!!). The full details are available in policy jargon here; according to the NJ Elections website, you can receive a ballot this way up until 5 PM TOMORROW (Election Day), and must submit it by 8PM TOMORROW (Election Day, November 6). The state also encourages first responders who are still out fighting the good fight to use this means. UPDATE: Big thanks to the awesome folks at TurboVote who have this page with instructions on voting my fax/email, including the application and where to send it by county. It seems that emailed ballots need to be scanned into something and sent away, which could be tough if you don't have power, but a friend may be able to help, or your job may let you do so there. Also consider your local public library – New Jersey State Library is gathering information on open library locations, which could be a good starting point.
No power to vote electronically, and unable to get to where you need to be? A displaced voter (read: you've left home to stay in shelter/with friends and family, and can't get back) can vote by provisional ballot at any polling place in the State. The directive from the state has certain safe guards in place to ensure your votes get counted, so grab some idea and take along with whoever is hosting you tomorrow when they go to the polls.
If your polling place cannot be used (flooding, power outage, trees down), the state has directed county officials to contact people via newspaper, "reverse 911" call system, and noticing at the site. If you're concerned, start by checking out your county's website as well as the League of Women Voters' website, both of which are supposed to have this information. Their New Jersey chapter is providing some outstanding resources on polling place changes, as is this article from My Central Jersey.
I'm incredibly proud of how New Jersey has responded to the challenges of this storm, including ensuring residents who have been through so much can get to vote. I know for a lot of people, the election has taken a back burner, but please consider any and all of these options.
Folks, are there are scenarios which haven't been covered here? And if anyone has info to update this for New York and Connecticut, please share, along with links to the info!
App to find your polling place. If you text WHERE to 877877, it will ask you for your address, and then send you your updated (if necessary) polling place. The system is being tweaked and updated, so please be patient and keep on checking to make sure you know if your polling place changes.Feel free to contact me with any questions related to voting.
UPDATE for NEW YORK: Apparently the Governor signed an Executive Order basically saying that you can vote with a provisional ballot in any polling place you can get to, not just your usual one. Governor Cuomo's order, like that in New Jersey, puts the burden on the polling place to get your ballot where it has to go, but I'd be prepared to show ID so they can figure out where it has to go.
Anyone tried these methods? Looking for feedback.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. (March 30, 2019) – The Tars were unable to down the top-ranked Barry Bucs. Despite some impressive individual performances, and a pair of upsets, the bucs proved too much, defeating Rollins 6-1. The loss drops Rollins to 13-3 overall, and 2-2 in Sunshine State Conference action. Barry moves to 11-1, and remain perfect, at 4-0, in SSC play.
The Bucs earned the first doubles win, but the Tars would quickly equalize on the top court. Ziad Melhaoui and Andrea Brignacca tallied a 6-4 upset win over the No. 16 doubles partnership in the country. The doubles point was decided on the second court where Barry was able to win a tiebreaker, putting Rollins in a 1-0 hole.
The Bucs took the opening three doubles decisions, in the sixth, second, and third spots, sealing the match. Barry picked up wins on the fourth and fifth courts as well. Nicolo De Fraia made sure the Tars avoided the upset, and had perhaps the most impressive showing of the night on the top singles court. The senior defended his perfect mark, moving to 15-0, with an upset win over the nations' No. 3 singles player Pierre Montrieul. The Cagliari, Italy native took a marathon first set, before seeing out the second to take a 7-6(10), 6-4 victory.
The Tars will venture outside the SSC for the final time this regular season when they host No. 9 West Florida to Winter Park on Sunday, April 7. First serve against the Argos is set for 11 a.m.

There are many ways that a Californian may be hurt by the negligence or reckless actions of another person. In some cases, companies may liable if they created the conditions that injured a person. Insurance rates are often affected when a person or company endangers someone or when a specific type of hazard causes more damage or injury.
Homeowner insurance premiums increase over California dog bites
Could a lead paint lawsuit eventually affect climate change?
Product liability lawsuits do more than reward people who claimed damages after they were hurt or sickened by something on the market. They can protect other people from the same fate, and they can stop companies from making dangerous mistakes. One recent case may even help make a statement about climate change.
Are truckers liable for cargo spilling from their trucks?
You're on the road without a care, and then suddenly a tractor-trailer appears in front of you. Maybe it merged from another road. Maybe it made a sharp turn into your right of way. It may be annoying, but the real fear may be from loose cargo on the trailer now in front of you.
Drive defensively when semi-trucks are on the road
Unfortunately, as highways and freeways support increasing traffic, more semi-truck accidents occur. On November 22, 2018, a horrific accident happened around 2 a.m. on Interstate 405 in Costa Mesa, California. It was dark and raining, and driving conditions were treacherous.
What should I remember after a slip-and-fall accident?
When the ground gives out from under you, you may feel like you're never going to stand on solid ground. Sometimes, the consequences of an injury are simply something to be borne, but there might be ways of becoming whole if the accident is proven to be someone else's fault.

I was sitting at home in my sauna one morning relaxing and listening to music while scrolling through social media on my phone. I had come across a FB video Amy had posted about looking for more real estate agents to grow her Brick & Banister Real Estate Co. business. I was intrigued so naturally I watched the whole video and not just the first minute. I finished it! I then went about my day as my relaxation time was over. I however found myself coming back to that video in my head numerous times. I was thinking that the video really caught my attention. It got my wheels spinning. Could I become a real estate agent? Do I have what it takes? I had been interested in real estate in the past but never advanced beyond my interest. I never had the push until that video that day so I took this as a sign. I decided to inquire more and messaged Amy. We met to chat and I was even more interested and by the end of our conversation I was excited. I knew it was a new challenge I wanted to take on so that is how it all began for me!
My own real estate experience started in 2006 when I had purchased my first home during the high peak of prices back then. I had no idea what I was doing as far as the process goes. I had a real estate agent who was, thinking back now, just in it for the money. I knew the house I purchased was solid as it was a flip my family had done but the financial/closing part was all just a blur. I had no idea what was happening…I just signed where they told me to sign. Looking back now after going through a great experience with an agent selling that place, I realized how important a great real estate agent is.
Although I am fairly new to this business I am excited to become a great real estate agent to anyone I can help. I enjoy helping people. I enjoy houses. Those are two main parts of what real estate consists of in my eyes. People looking for a place to call home. I am always thinking of ways to make them unique or custom to the individual. I love DIY projects around the house big or small. It's not uncommon for people to ask me to make things for them. I enjoy the challenge.
When I'm not doing real estate I am enjoying my time off or working as a St. Paul Firefighter. I have over 10 years working in the city and know the city well. I enjoy many aspects of that job but for the most part I enjoy helping people every work day!

Inventions International Company was a giant American firm, seemingly based in New York City, with whom the Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon had dealings in 1971.
Wishing to improve the quality of life for humans, the Doctor created Martha — a robot that simplified housecleaning. Wishing wide distribution of the time-saving device, he took it to IIC for manufacture. The company's managing director, C. G. Slattery, was immediately intrigued by the opportunities this robot offered. Within weeks, IIC had gotten Marthas into homes across the United States. After millions of Marthas were installed, however, the Quarks took them over and used them to attempt a takeover of the Earth.
After the crisis was over, Slattery held a televised rally on IIC grounds where he proclaimed the Doctor a global hero, and flew a banner suggesting that the Doctor should run for President of the United States. (COMIC: Martha the Mechanical Housemaid)
