Musicians Starting To Assert Copyright Termination Rights Against Record Labels
from the this-ought-to-be-interesting... dept
Still, given the success of the Superman saga in getting at least some of the copyrights back, suddenly lots of people are looking to see what other copyrights can be reclaimed. Apparently, a bunch of musicians are now lining up to try to regain their rights from the labels starting in 2013 (the first year musical works are eligible). As the article notes, with record labels still too clueless to figure out how to successfully build business models around new acts, many still rely on sales of old music to bring in a lot of their revenue. If the labels lose the copyrights on much of that music... well... let's just say suddenly The Pirate Bay may be the least of their concerns.
The labels, of course, are aware of all of this, and have been planning a strategy to fight it for years. As was detailed in William Patry's latest book, in 1999 the RIAA was able to get Congress to amend copyright law in the middle of the night (literally), to change musical works to "work for hire," which does not have a termination right associated with it. There were loud protests from many artists, and Congress quickly backed down. Still, the record labels are going to claim that, even without that clearly written in the law, the music created by musicians on the labels were, in fact, "works for hire."
So, get ready for a series of long and drawn out lawsuits from the labels over this issue. They certainly realize that even if they eventually lose, by taking it to court, they can delay that day of reckoning for quite some time. Now, to be clear, I tend to have a problem with the whole concept of these termination rights. If you've contractually agreed to give up your copyright, that should be that. It only causes more problems (as we see) down the road to offer some sort of automatic out, not negotiated into the contract. That said, the very fact that the labels are freaking out about this and intend to go to court against the artists over this should (once again) be a reminder that the labels and the RIAA have never had "the artists' best interests" in mind in whatever they do. The fact that politicians and many in the press still think that the labels represent the artists' interests is pretty ridiculous. Hopefully, things like these upcoming lawsuits will help clarify that for them.

Washington: A six-year study on migrating geese has discovered that they learn their migratory destinations from parents.
The findings suggested young light-bellied Brent geese return to the same spots they were taken to as youngsters.
This means their routes are learned through culture rather than inherited genetically, raising some interesting questions about why this species of goose demonstrates this behaviour.
"If most offspring settle in the places they were shown in their first year of life, it means there can be a high risk of inbreeding between relatives, which isn`t good for the reproductive future of that group. Because of this, it was quite unexpected to find such a high concentration of related birds," said Xavier Harrison, from the Centre for Ecology & Conservation (Cornwall) at the University of Exeter.
"But there are potential advantages which could explain this pattern. These geese are social foragers, and returning to the same spots to forage with their siblings could allow them better access to food, as related birds may be less competitive over resources," he added.
"Returning to the sites your parents raised you on also makes sense for your own reproductive success, because they have already been proven to be a good choice for producing offspring. It seems that in light-bellied Brent geese, parents know what``s best," said Xavier.
Studying the location choices of migratory birds is very difficult due to the large distances they travel. To overcome this, the study saw collaboration between researchers at the University of Exeter, the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility at the University of Sheffield, the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, and the Icelandic Institute of Natural History.
They combined resources to use genotyping and a database of long-term observational data to build up a picture of the locations individuals picked for migration routes.
It showed a recurring pattern - young continuing to follow the routes they learned from their parents and stopping at the same places, or within a very close area in both Ireland and Iceland.
"Combining genetic data with observations of marked individuals in their natural habitat is a powerful approach, and has allowed us to gain a detailed understanding of the migratory decisions of young geese," said Stuart Bearhop, also from the Centre for Ecology & Conservation (Cornwall) at the University of Exeter.
"The research shows a lot of family structure within light-bellied Brent geese, and suggests a pattern of site use most likely driven by cultural inheritance which is maintained over many years.
"What we`re seeing is that groups of animals can be quite independent, and may not mix with others who settle at different locations. This shows how powerful cultural inheritance of migration can be in structuring reproductive isolation among groups, which in turn could have important implications for the development of genetic structure within animal populations."
The findings are published online in the journal Molecular Ecology.

Week #51 – Holiday Events
Week 51. Holiday Events. Where did your family gather for the Christmas or Hanukkah as a child? Which family members and friends attended the event?
This challenge runs from Saturday, December 17, 2011 through Friday, December 23, 2011.
Wow, can you believe we're already at week #51?!
My family mostly stayed at home for the holidays. We mostly gathered at the house, which was small, so it was a good thing our family wasn't large. I have only two brothers, both younger than me, so it was just five of us (and the dog). We did go to my paternal grandparents' house in Yankton, South Dakota, for Christmas a couple of times, I think only before my youngest brother was born. Their house wasn't much bigger, but it was neater with just my grandparents living there, so it felt roomier.
Once we started finding girlfriends, things got a bit more crowded at home, but it never got overcrowded until all of us boys got married and started having kids. Now, it's hard to do, with the five of us, plus my three kids, plus my brother's seven kids. That house really isn't set up for that many people, especially when half of them are rambunctious youngsters.
I do recall having a couple of holidays at a nearby hotel, but I think those might have been Thanksgivings.

Marsh Harrier Chicks On Camera | 2009 Season Report
Marsh harriers are back breeding successfully on the Hawk and Owl Trust's Sculthorpe Moor nature reserve in north Norfolk, with even more newly hatched chicks (see left) on camera than ever before.
Last year one marsh harrier female successfully raised three nestlings to fledging in front of the Trust's 24-hour webcam. This year she's back with five newly hatched young – the first emerging on 9 May, and so is the webcam.
Also at the reserve is one further female with five young of her own, and a third nest so inaccessible that reserve staff have not been able to monitor it. There are also two males and possibly a third around the reserve. Marsh harriers do not generally form monogamous pairs.
Visitors to the reserve can watch the young at the nest on the large screen monitor in the visitor centre. A monitor is also available in the hide nearest the nest, meaning fans can see through the hide windows the male visit and pass food to the female as she rises into the air, then watch on screen as she returns to earth and the chicks are fed. For the first time this year visitors can hear the chicks via an audio link from a microphone hidden in the reeds that disguise the camera. More about the Reed Cam – Click Here
The five nestlings are a tribute to the increasingly suitable conditions being created at the reserve and are a great encouragement as the Hawk and Owl Trust launches an appeal to celebrate its 40th anniversary of protecting owls and other birds of prey in the wild. It hopes to raise £40,000 to help continue its vital work
The live screening of marsh harrier chicks was pioneered by the Hawk and Owl Trust last year in a unique scientific exercise shared with TV viewers of Springwatch on BBC2. The footage is currently undergoing minute scientific analysis at Leicester University, supervised by Dr David Harper, to reveal for the first time intimate details of the marsh harrier's ecology, diet and behaviour. A brief DVD of last year's nestlings is available for sale at £5.95.
This year's on-screen display is also thought to be the only live video of marsh harriers on the nest anywhere in the UK.

Bombers give Tanaka chance to settle in, win

NEW YORK -- Masahiro Tanaka can't lose. Not even when he stumbles early.
Tanaka, the Yankees' rookie sensation, took a win streak that has lasted nearly two years into Saturday's outing against Tampa Bay, and he managed to keep it rolling after some early adversity.View Full Game Coverage
Tanaka gave up a home run to the second batter he faced and allowed the game's first three runs on Saturday, but the Yankees slowly worked their way back into command. New York scored nine unanswered runs, and Tanaka held the line in a 9-3 win over the Rays at Yankee Stadium.
"He's a top-of-the-rotation starter, and that's what you expect from guys like him," said catcher Brian McCann. "It's hard to believe he's only 25 years old. I feel like I keep saying that, but this guy's got some poise. He competes every time he's on the mound and gives us everything he's got."
Tanaka is now undefeated in six big league starts, and he hasn't lost since Aug. 19 of his 2012 campaign. The right-hander won his final 28 decisions in Japan before signing with the Yankees this winter, and he's yet to allow more than three earned runs against a Major League club.
His streak appeared to be in jeopardy early on Saturday, though, when Tanaka allowed a line-drive home run to Desmond Jennings in the first inning. Tampa Bay scored once in the second inning and again in the fourth, with Wil Myers taking Tanaka deep for the Rays' last run of the game.
A month into his big league tenure, Tanaka is already considered a stopper by the Yankees.
"You know what you're going to get from him," said manager Joe Girardi. "You're going to get a guy that's really going to compete and is going to give you distance and is going to keep you in the game. He's going to give you every opportunity to win. I think that's fair to say."
Tanaka may not have had his best stuff Saturday, but he's logged the fifth-highest strikeout total (51) for any pitcher since 1900 in their first six big league starts. Tanaka fanned five batters without walking anybody on Saturday, but he said that most of the outing was a battle to keep things close.
"All my pitches weren't there today," said Tanaka, speaking through interpreter Shingo Horie after the game. "As for the split, it was more like a changeup, I feel. Everything wasn't crisp today."
And while Tanaka was struggling, Rays starter Jake Odorizzi was going through his own day of extremes. Odorizzi threw three perfect innings to open his start and held a three-run lead going into the bottom of the fourth, but everything fell apart for the youngster in a span of 10 batters.
Seven of those batters -- four in the fourth inning and three in the fifth -- reached base. Mark Teixeira pulled the Yankees within one run on a two-run homer in the fourth, and Jacoby Ellsbury hit a game-tying ground-run double in the fifth. Odorizzi left at that point, and the Yankees didn't take their first lead of the game until the bottom of the sixth, courtesy of a solo homer by Kelly Johnson.
New York lost the first game of the series in 14 innings Friday night, but the offense worked overtime Saturday. The Yankees put together a two-run rally in the seventh inning and a three-run burst in the eighth to seize control, and the bullpen held on to preserve the six-run margin.
"I think this is a pretty resilient group. It's a veteran group that understands that you're going to have games like last night," said Girardi. "It's going to happen. It's extremely frustrating at the time, but every day is a new day. And that's the great thing about our game: We don't have to wait a week. We don't even have to wait two days. It's usually the next day -- you get right back out and forget about it."
Tanaka had two close calls on Saturday, with one batted ball striking him on the left foot and another one buzzing off his glove right in front of his face. Girardi joked that shots like that made him quit a fledgling pitching career before it started, but Tanaka was unfazed by either shot back through the box.
The Yankees had used seven relievers in Friday night's game, and Tanaka knew before the game that he had to pitch as deep as he could to give the bullpen a lift. That may have been his biggest achievement, and he knew that it could have a ripple effect on the rest of the staff.
"I was able to go seven innings," he said. "The number of pitches went up a little bit at the beginning of the game, but I was able to get my rhythm back as we got deeper into the game."
Tanaka was hardly an unknown quantity before this season. He had starred for Japan in the World Baseball Classic in 2009 and 2013, and he was a two-time winner of the Nippon Professional Baseball league's Sawamura Award, which annually goes to the best pitcher in the league.
Now, with a 4-0 record and a 2.53 ERA through six starts, Tanaka may have his eyes on some new trophies. Tanaka has given up just 35 hits in his first six outings, and there's reason to believe that he may get even more comfortable once he has better knowledge of Major League hitters.
"He can attack you in many different ways," said McCann, describing why Tanaka has had so much early success. "He's not just a one-pitch pitcher. He can dissect both sides of the plate to both righties and lefties. When he doesn't have his best stuff, he can maneuver through lineups."

Fabian Theatre
45 Church Street,
8 people favorited this theater
Jacob Fabian, who'd introduced Passaic County's first facility built exclusively for the exhibition of moving pictures in 1914 (Passaic's Regent Theatre), opened the Fabian Theatre December 15, 1925 with a showing of the silent feature, "We Moderns" starring Coleen More. The theatre was built at a site ravaged by the Silk City's great fire of 1902.
The Fabian Theatre, designed by architect Fred Wesley Wentworth in the Sullivanesque style, was originally envisioned as a stand-alone theatre, and the large office building and the Alexander Hamilton Hotel which enclose it were added as afterthoughts.
The theatre featured the Fabian Mammoth Organ (a Wurlitzer), played by Warren Yates, who'd previously served as Chief Organist at Newark's Wentworth-designed Branford Theatre. (Yates was the last organist recorded by the Phonograph Division of Thomas A. Edison Inc. The recordings were made at the Fabian Theatre on 9/26/29 and 10/3/29, just weeks before the company went out of business. Records were manufactured but never released.) The facility also featured a 500-bulb, two-ton chandelier, murals, tile floors, performances by the Fabian Grand Orchestra, and Turkish baths in the basement.
In addition to featuring films and vaudeville, the theatre, which maintained its single screen and 3,000+ seats until the mid-1970's, was site of several Abbott and Costello film premieres. Among these were 1940's "One Night in the Tropics", 1950's "Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion", and their first color feature, 1952's "Jack and the Beanstalk". Allegedly Lou Costello, a Paterson native, had demanded that Universal Pictures provide the 'hometown premieres' of the two earlier films.
Also of note, in 1948, the Reverend Charles Tarter, a civil rights pioneer and charter member of the Paterson NAACP, broke the theatre's color barrier when he repeatedly took a seat in the building's first floor lobby, rather than acquiesce to the facility's rule that blacks were only permitted to sit upstairs.
In the 1970's and 1980's, the theatre was multiplexed with, first, the main level being twinned and the balcony being turned into its own auditorium and, later, the addition of two screens on the stage. Despite these last gasp efforts, as well as a brief return to its former glory when it hosted the 1989 premiere of "Lean on Me", the story of Paterson high school principal Joe Clark, the Fabian Theatre closed in 1993 after a screening of "RoboCop 3".
In January 2004, the state's Department of Environmental Protection approved the demolition of the theatre. The owner/developer is now required to provide Historic American Buildings Survey-level documentation, an archival record, and a museum-quality interpretive exhibit documenting the theatre's history to the Department's Historic Preservation Office.
The theatre site has long been intended to house new office space and parking for the Paterson Board of Education. Recent reports of severe mismanagement of funds cast doubt upon this scenario and the state's Department of Education will review the true costs of such a plan and investigate alternative sites. Preservation and restoration of the Fabian Theatre was still possible until 2012, when the interior of the theatre was stripped back to its brick walls. As of 2013, the theatre is vacant.

I just got back from Paterson. They are gutting the Fabian. Several entryways are opened (with gates down) and you can look into the cavernous auditorium. The seats are out and they appear to be leveling the floor.
Ironic how the two flagships of the Fabian chain (this and the Montauk in Passaic) survived this long, only to meet their demise simultaneously!
I always wanted to go here before it closed — they had some dynamite exploitation double features.
And that shot posted on August 17, 2010 must be the balcony after the theater was divided.
What's the street view looking at? Is that an alternate entrance to theater's 4 and 5 in the former stage area? Hardly looks like the 1920's facade I'd have imagined.
Tinseltoes, I don't see any of these green underlined words. Ed Solero, you are right, that is an odd entrance. Someone else would have to say if that is the original one or not, but doesn't the Fabian only now the upper balcony part of the theater with a fake ceiling put through the orchestra level? With the orchestra level converted to some other use? That could also mean that those "other use" entrances are from the original theater entrance and the "theater" using the balcony (at least when it was open yet) using a different entrance.
For more information on Jacob Fabian and the architect Fred Wesley Wentworth, see www.fredwesleywentworth.com I have recently completed a book on their collaboration.
I photographed the Fabian Theatre a few years ago. Check out my post at After the Final Curtain
What a shame this is rotting away like this. You look at Matt Lambros photos and you wonder if it could ever be restored.
It's been gutted since I photographed it, Mark. There really isn't anything left to restore.
This theater isn't like the Fabian of recent times.

Federal Investment in Cyber Security to Reach $13.3 Billion by 2015
By Jeff Goldman | Posted 12-29-2010 Print
A recent INPUT report, "Federal Information Security Market, 2010-2015," predicts that federal investment in information security will rise from $8.6 billion in 2010 to $13.3 billion by 2015 at a compound annual growth rate of 9.1 percent, nearly twice the rate of overall federal IT spending. "There is a general consensus that the government has a lot of work to do to address weaknesses in its cyber security," says INPUT principal analyst John Slye. "Over the last year, federal agencies have seen a 78 percent growth in cyber incidents. This demand for increased information security is greater than any other current technology, leaving it more immune to the recent federal budget cuts." Key drivers for the expected increase in investment in information security include a 445 percent increase in cyber security incidents since 2006, a shortage of qualified security professionals, and an increasingly complex and interconnected technology environment. "While agencies continue to make incremental progress toward secure infrastructures, a lack of leadership, ambiguous roles, technical challenge, and workforce shortages inhibit the federal government from developing and implementing a cohesive, well-formed national cyber security strategy," says INPUT principal analyst Angie Petty. "This creates a large opportunity for vendors to bring their combined agency knowledge and operational security expertise to the market."

It's the default premise in science: If you observe something in nature only once, you assume that what you've seen is typical. That's because "typical" is just another way of saying "most probable."
Consequently, ever since Copernicus redrew the blueprint of the cosmos nearly five centuries ago, we've assumed that there would be other planets that resemble ours, situated in solar systems like our own.
Well, in 1995, we finally found a planet in someone else's solar system, and it deep-sixed the default assumption. This world was unlike any planet we knew. 51 Peg b, with at least half the mass of Jupiter, raced around its sun in only 4 days. Compare that to tiny Mercury -- the speediest member of the Sun's brood -- which takes 88 days to orbit once.
51 Peg b was unexpected, and so were many of the worlds uncovered in the first decade of exoplanet discovery. Lots of so-called hot Jupiters were found, massive, gaseous bodies that pirouetted around their host stars in orbits that were often as tight as that of 51 Peg b. More recently, thousands of so-called super-Earths have been discovered -- planets somewhat larger than our own, and without peer among our solar system siblings.
These results are surprising: but they are also discomfiting. Could it be that our planet isn't typical at all? If so, then maybe life isn't typical either. On the other hand, if there are plenty of planets similar to Earth, we can reasonably hope for lots of cosmic company.
The mission of NASA's Kepler telescope is to lift the scales from our eyes, and reveal to us just how typical our home world is. Kepler operates by measuring the dimming of stars as planets pass ("transit") in front of them. It has found thousands of previously unknown worlds.
But the space telescope's holy grail is to answer a straightforward question: What fraction of stars have Earth-size worlds in the so-called habitable zone -- where temperatures would allow liquid oceans. Is it one in ten, one in a billion, or what?
It's because of the simplicity and importance of this goal, and the excellent chance of reaching it, that I routinely say that Kepler is the most exciting research experiment going. Sure, my statement would probably start a brawl in a bar full of scientists. But that, at least, would be memorable.
Be that as it may, if you follow the science news you've heard that Kepler is in trouble. A reaction wheel -- an essential component for pointing the telescope -- is bedeviled by friction and has stopped. This is the second of four such wheels to fail. Since three are needed to keep the telescope accurately aimed, Kepler's keepers have shut the instrument down. They hope that a series of commands that torque the wheels will clear the material from the bearings. If that happens, the mission will collect new data for at least another year.
But what about the darker scenario? What if Kepler's data-taking days are over? Will it still have answered Question Number One: what fraction of Sun-like stars have Earth-size planets in the habitable zone?
Jon Jenkins, a senior scientist at the SETI Institute and analysis lead for the Kepler mission, offers a simple reply: "Yes."
"We all have reason to be optimistic that we can find that fraction," Jenkins says. "The only question is how much uncertainty will be in the number."
A large part of Jenkins' optimism derives from the fact that there are still two year's worth of data in the Kepler pipeline. Even if the instrument never takes another measurement, those data are in hand -- and they will be sufficient to address Kepler's prime directive.
Can we guess today what that fraction might be? A separate analysis of the first few years' of Kepler measures by Courtney Dressing and David Charbonneau at Harvard indicate that 15 percent of very small stars, called red dwarfs, host planets in the habitable zone. That's an astoundingly large fraction, and it's quite possible that Sun-like stars don't have such a high percentage of planets that might be biology friendly.
But we'll have to wait and see. The answer will come -- reaction-wheel fix or no -- within a year or two, as the data analysis continues.
It's tempting to guess that answer of course, and there's a betting pool in my office doing just that. But as Bill Borucki, a NASA space scientist and the man behind the Kepler project says, "If you don't have the data, you're speculating. You could get an equally valid answer by just asking an astrologer. We know we're missing small planets, and we need to bring them out of the noise. For now, any estimate of the fraction of Sun-like stars with habitable zone planets is pure speculation."
So yes, the jury's out, but a verdict is guaranteed. The technical glitch that has sidelined Kepler won't dull its luster. As Jenkins emphasizes, "In the grand scheme of things, we'll get the answers we seek. Only the error bars will be a little larger."
"It's the difference between using a crayon and using a Sharpie -- we'll still be able to see the picture."
Then we'll know whether our planet is typical, or as odd as a polar bear in Palm Springs.

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
The ongoing Republican efforts to discredit President Obama and any potential 2016 Democratic candidate are shameful. While thousands of their constituents face furloughs because the Republican House refuses to pass a budget, members are conducting McCarthy-like hearings on matters that have no substance.
Among these are attempts to show that the Administration incorrectly characterized the Benghazi attack and that they failed to adequately follow up on the warning signs regarding the Boston Bombers.
I have waited for our congressional representative(s) to come to Northeast Pennsylvania to hear what is important to us.
Unfortunately, neither U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta nor U.S. Rep. Tom Marino seems to care what we think — they are focused on what Speaker John Boehner tells them to do and ensuring that they are not delayed at the airport. I hope they read the Record:
1. Benghazi was a mission/consulate (not an embassy) in a dangerous place. The State Department employees knew this — they risk their lives daily. Will their efforts increase their security or just serve your purpose to discredit former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?
2. Any crime is subject to hindsight. The Boston bombing involves international intelligence — not exactly a strong point for House Republicans. What are their objectives in conducting this inquisition? Recall that a prior crusade by Mr. Barletta (as mayor of Hazleton) paralyzed, polarized, and nearly bankrupt that city.
3. President Bush lied (twice) to us about wiretapping Americans. Where was their outrage then?
4. We need leadership and action on budgets and the economy. What have they done?
5. They say that they are strong on defense — prove it.
We need to start electing representatives that represent our substantive interests, not special interests.

French Court Orders Google To Magically Make Max Mosley Orgy Pictures Disappear
from the good-luck-with-that dept
Since then, Mosley has been on a campaign of censorship. He went to court trying to argue that newspapers should need to alert famous people before publishing anything about them, giving them a chance to try to block such stories. Thankfully, that failed. He also sought to influence the UK review of journalism (in the wake of that other, more well-known News of the World scandal, involving hacking into voicemails).
He's also been suing Google in various European countries, arguing that they need to somehow magically block out any instance of the photos of that orgy. Yes, Mosley thinks it's all Google's fault that these images still exist. He argues that:
if somebody were to stop the search engines producing the material, the actual sites don't really matter because without a search engine, nobody will find it, it would be just a few friends of the person who posts it. The really dangerous thing are the search engines.Of course, it's not the search engines "producing the material." It's the search engines finding the content that others have posted. Unfortunately, a French court has sided with Mosley and ordered Google to magically try to make those images disappear from the internet. This is both close to impossible technically, but also a restriction that will have significant unintended consequences. It will almost certainly block out legitimate content, including news coverage related to this story. For example, much of the news coverage of the lawsuits have included the images. Take, for example, this Gawker story. Under the ruling in France, Google will now be forced to figure out how to censor links to such legitimate journalistic stories.
Yes, it's perfectly reasonable for Mosley to be upset about how all of this went down. And he appears to have received a large sum of money from News of the World about this. But going on this crusade won't stop the pictures from appearing on the internet (in fact, each time there's news about this, it only calls more attention to it), and worse, it will inevitably lead to false positives that censor legitimate content.
Google has already announced its intent to appeal, noting that it's wrong to hold a search engine responsible for policing the work of others. While the release of the original images may be illegal, blaming Google for the fact that such images can be found is supremely misguided.

Arizona Gov. Brewer sued over license policy for immigrants
PHOENIX – Immigrant rights advocates filed a lawsuit Thursday that seeks to overturn Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's order denying driver's licenses for young immigrants who have gotten work permits and avoided deportation under a new Obama administration policy.
The lawsuit alleges the state has in effect classified young-adult immigrants as not having permission to be in the country and asks a federal judge to declare Brewer's policy unconstitutional because it's trumped by federal law and denies licenses without valid justification.
"Arizona's creation of its own immigration classification impermissibly intrudes on the federal government's exclusive authority to regulate immigration," the lawsuit said.
The Obama administration in June took administrative steps to shield as many as 800,000 immigrants from deportation. Applicants must have been brought to the United States before they turned 16, be younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have graduated from a high school or GED program or have served in the military. They also were allowed to apply for a two-year renewable work permit.
Brewer has defended her Aug. 15 order on driver's licenses as necessary for ensuring that state agencies adhere to the intent of state laws denying public benefits to illegal immigrants.
The governor has clashed with the Obama administration in the past over illegal immigration, most notably in the challenge that the federal government filed in a bid to invalidate Arizona's 2010 immigration law. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law's most contentious section, but threw out other sections.
Lawyers for two civil rights groups that led a challenge to the 2010 state law also filed the lawsuit over Brewer's driver's license policy.
The latest case was filed on behalf of the five young-adult immigrants in Arizona who were brought to the United States from Mexico as children and were granted deferred deportation protections under the Obama administration's policy but were denied licenses or complained that Brewer's order has caused significant hardships.
Brewer's policy makes it difficult or impossible for such young immigrants to do essential things in their everyday life, such as going to school, going to the grocery store, and finding and holding down a job, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit said Brewer's order means federal work permits for the program's participants won't be accepted as proof of their legal presence in the country for the purpose of getting a driver's license. Still, the lawsuit said, the state will accept such a work permit from immigrants who have won deferred deportation status as part of other federal immigration programs.
The five young immigrants aren't seeking money damages and instead are asking a judge to bar Arizona from denying driver's licenses to immigrants who were granted deferred deportation status by the federal government. It seeks class-action status that would let all other young immigrants in Arizona who were granted the deferred-deportation protection join the lawsuit.
About 11,000 people living in Arizona have applied for the deferred deportation protection under the Obama administration's policy.
The lawsuit was also filed on behalf of the Arizona DREAM Act Coalition, a group that advocates for federal legislation that would provide a path to legal status for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants.

REAL NAME: Garrison Cade
6' 5", 261 pounds
BORN: San Antonio, Texas
He may or may not end up as "the next Shawn Michaels" but the young man who, like the Heartbreak Kid during the early part of his career, is making waves in the WWE Tag Team scene, got his training in San Antonio, Texas as part of Michaels' wrestling school.
After completing his training, Cade joined another Michaels' alumni, American Dragon, in heading to Japan to compete for Frontier Martial Arts. Ironically, it would be the American Dragon that Cade would defeat on May 9, 2000, to win the Texas Wrestling Alliance Television Championship.
A month later, after losing a "Three-Way Loser Leaves Town" bout that also involved Bonecrusher and winner Jeremy Sage, Cade was en route to Memphis Championship Wrestling, a WWE developmental area. By the summer of 2001, Cade left MCW and headed to another WWE developmental area, Heartland Wrestling Association, teaming with Cody Hawk.
The team of Hawk and Cade broke up when the Invasion angle made its way to HWA, and Cade joined the WCW/ECW Alliance. Cade formed another team, this time with Mike Sanders and, on February 13, 2002, the pair won the HWA Tag Team titles from Val Venis and Steve Bradley, only to break up on the same night. Cade defeated Sanders in a singles match to lay claim to the titles, and picked Bradley to be his partner.
Cade and Bradley would lose the titles to Raven and Hugh Morrus, but regained them three days later, only to lose them to Cody Hawk and the Ice Cream Man. After several unsuccessful attempts to regain the belts a second time, Cade broke into the singles ranks, exchanging the HWA Heavyweight Championship with Johnny The Bull on two occassions before losing the title to Cody Hawk.
With the WWE breaking its ties with HWA, Cade was reassigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling in September 2002, and formed a team with Rene Dupre. After taking on combinations made up of future WWE superstars including Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore, Charlie Haas, and Rob Conway, Dupre and Cade travelled to a WWE TV taping and lost to the Dudley Boys in February 2002.
The Dudleys were not the only WWE talent that Dupre and Cade faced, with the team losing twice to the A.P.A. (Bradshaw and Farooq) in the spring of 2003.
In June 2003, Cade was called up to the WWE, where he lost to Lance Storm on Heat. Two week later, however, on Raw, Cade (now Garrison Cade) defeated Lance Storm, thanks to a distraction from Steve Austin. Soon, Cade found himself partnered with Mark Jindrak. The team found themselves crossing paths with La Resistance (including Cade's former OVW partner Rene Dupre) as well as Evolution.
On November 23, 2003, Cade and Jindrak upset the Dudley Boys, thanks to the interference of Scott Steiner, although the Dudleys got their revenge and a win a week later. Despite the loss, Jindrak and Cade won a spot in the Fatal Fourway match for the WWE Tag Team titles at Wrestlemania XX, but failed to unseat Booker T and RVD for the titles.
The Jindrak/Cade team soon folded, and Cade was teamed with Jonathan Coachman, aka the Coach, who was both Cade's pseudo-manager and tag team partner. However, on July 2nd, Cade teamed with Chuck Palumbo during a house show in Vancouver against Val Venis and Maven. During the bout, Cade injured his knee. He made his appearance at Vengeance, where he and Coach lost to Rhyno and Tajiri but was out of action for several months afterwards.
When Cade returned in March 2005, it was not initially to WWE. Instead, he was sent to Ohio Valley, where he feuded with Brent Albright for the Television Championship. By June, however, Cade was back in WWE, appearing in dark matches for both Raw and Smackdown, teaming with Trevor Rhodes.
In August, the team of Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch (a renamed Rhodes) began airing on Raw and on September 5th, the team made an impressive debut, defeating WWE Tag Team Champions Rosey and the Hurricane in a non-title match. With the victory, the new team immediately shot up the tag rankings and won the titles at Unforgiven. With the breakup of Rosey/Hurricane shortly after, it looked like Cade and Murdoch would have few challengers.
Ironically, their time as champs would end quickly, when Kane and Big Show unseated them at Taboo Tuesday.
Cade and Murdoch would be unsuccessful in their attempts to regain the titles and soon, the team was broken up. Lance Cade continues to wrestle for WWE, but has been regulated to Heat duties.
Cade and Murdoch would be unsuccessful in their attempts to regain the titles, and soon the team was broken up, though it was quickly reformed after Cade had an unsuccessful singles run.
It was not until the beginning of 2007, however, that the team truly began to realize its potential. Feuding with Matt and Jeff Hardy was certainly a help, and Cade & Murdoch appeared respectful of their opponents, so much so that there were regular handshakes before and after their series of matches.
Inevitably, however, that did not last, and in June Cade pinned Jeff under dubious circumstances to win the Tag Team Titles for the second time. After exchanging the titles with Paul London & Brian Kendrick on a South African tour, they lost the belts for the final time in December 2007, to Bob Holly and Cody Rhodes.
The team acrimoniously split in the spring of 2008, with Murdoch being wished the best in his future endeavours, while Cade surprisingly aligned himself with World title contender Chris Jericho. Though he pinned Shawn Michaels in a tag team match in September, Cade was released from his contract on October 14, with Jim Ross citing an incident on an aeroplane where Cade required emergency treatment.
After a year on the indie circuit, Cade was re-signed to a WWE developmental contract with Florida Championship Wrestling on October 23, 2009. He briefly worked at the Florida-based outfit but never made it to the main roster. His stint did not last long though as he was again released in April 2010.
Just four months after his release it was reported on Friday, August 13, 2010 that Cade passed away due to heart failure, he was 29 years old.

Tax free holiday, not stimulus plan, is what America needs
Public Commentary
Dear Editor: Our new President has proposed a 1933-style stimulus package to solve our country's economic problems. The 1933 stimulus package did not work back then as we had a 10-year and 35 percent unemployment disaster. It took World War II to help us out of the Great Depression.

By February phone calls were flying back and forth between Friends of the Columbia River Gorge and the Columbia River Gorge Commission.
The two groups often wind up on the same side of protecting sensitive land in the Gorge. This time they were not.
Environmental watchdog group Friends of the Gorge wanted to know what was going on hillside a between Hood River and Mosier. Gorge Commission staff, tasked with oversight over the National Scenic Area, say they had the same question.
Over the winter, a 110-acre section of land, some of it designated as being amongst the most environmentally sensitive in the Gorge, was cleared.
Of the land, 80 acres is tribal trust land of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and is exempt from the Scenic Area Act. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has acknowledged flaws in the public notice process before the timber harvest and has pledged to work with tribes to ensure better communication on future off-reservation timber cuts on tribal land.
The other 30 acres is owned by SDS Timber of Bingen. The Warm Springs had to go through the privately held SDS land for a timber operation on tribal lands, so SDS decided to have the logger who purchased the timber sale clear its parcel at the same time.
SDS obtained approval from the Oregon Department of Forestry for the operation, that much is clear. How and why a logging operation was allowed to occur on land which is designated as some of the "most significant and sensitive" land in the National Scenic Area relies on interpretation of how the National Scenic Act relates to the Columbia River Gorge Commission management plan.
The logging issue came at a tough time for the Gorge Commission, which had just seen its budget slashed by the Oregon and Washington Legislatures and had just had a new executive director, Darren Nichols, come on board in February. He and the Commission staff were immediately confronted with a tough problem.
The National Scenic Area Act created the Gorge Commission and gave it the authority to create a management plan for the scenic area.
"The Act is a source of law and the management plan is the interpretation of that law," Nichols said.
In the Commission's management plan, the area which was logged was zoned as "open space."
Open spaces receive some of the most stringent protections under the management plan, which calls for tight restrictions on permitted usage in the space.
"Open spaces represent some of the most significant and sensitive resources in the Scenic area ... In some cases the resources are so sensitive and significant that their protection requires designating them as open space. This land use designation is designed to protect such resources from uses that adversely affect them," the management plan states.
Among the uses listed which could adversely effect the areas are farming, mining, development and forestry.
However, the Act which established the Gorge Commission and mandated the Commission craft a management plan, does not fully mesh with the language in the management plan, and calls into question whether such regulations would be allowed on private timber lands for commercial use.
The National Scenic Area Act states in Section 17, the "savings provision," that "nothing in ... this title shall affect the rights and responsibilities of non-federal timber land owners under the Oregon and Washington Forest Practices acts or any county regulations which under applicable State law supersede such Acts."
The Oregon Forestry Practices act requires private timber land owners to provide notice and get permission from the Oregon Department of Forestry before conducting a logging operation.
SDS lumber applied for, and was granted, that approval by ODF.
"The plan was reviewed and there were no issues there," said ODF spokesman Kevin Weeks.
SDS owns around 80 acres of land near the clearing site, almost all of which was burned in the 2009 Microwave Fire.
"That is where our hand started to become a little forced," said Jason Spadaro, president of SDS.
Spadaro said the company had tried several times over the years to sell the property to either the National Forest Service or to the Public Lands Trust, but that each time lack of funds from the public agencies did not allow for a sale.
After the Microwave Fire the issue of whether the SDS land would even ever be used for a logging operation came to a head.
Most burned timber must be harvested around three years after it is burned or it loses all value as it dries and cracks or potentially becomes bug-infested.
When the Warm Springs came to SDS to request permission to go through the SDS property to log the tribal land, SDS granted them permission, and requested that the logger clear approximately 39 acres of the SDS parcel as well.
Spadaro says SDS did everything by the book.
"We filed notification with ODF for state forest practices," he said.
Nichols shares that assessment.
"They did everything they should do with providing notice to the ODF," he said.
Weeks said the ODF performed a cross check to make sure the zoning of the logging area was appropriate, and that the ODF contacted the U.S. Forest Service about the BIA land involved.
However, Nichols said the Gorge Commission was not contacted by ODF until after logging operations were under way.
When Oregon Department of Forestry and Hood River County asked the Gorge Commission to render an opinion Nichols said the Gorge Commission staff informed them that the Scenic Act itself appeared to permit logging while the management plan prohibits it, and that they should consult with their own respective legal counsels.
Hood River County adopted a National Scenic Area Act zoning ordinance provision in 2005, which essentially copies the Gorge Commission management plan and does not list forestry as an approved use in open spaces.
When Oregon Department of Forestry asked the county for its opinion on whether SDS should be allowed to log the property, the county turned to the Gorge Commission.
The Gorge Commission staff did not put down its interpretation of the plan and management in writing, with Nichols saying it "took place over a series of phone calls."
"I think what the Gorge Commission staff has done is called into question the protection on open space land ... and they are not being accountable or acknowledging this," said Friends of the Gorge Conservation Director Michael Lang.
Lang said that by deciding that the management plan (which was mandated by the Scenic Area Act) was trumped by the text of the act itself, the Gorge Commission staff has made a significant policy shift.
"Their 1991 management plan prohibits (the logging) but they say it is conflict with other areas of the act," Lang said. "On the staff level they are violating the management plan and making policy changes without telling anyone."
Nichols disagreed that there has been any shift in policy.
"I don't think we informed people one way or another" on whether logging was an allowed use, Nichols said.
Nichols said that the Gorge Commission informed Hood River County, ODF and the U.S. Forest Service to be careful in how they interpreted the act because there appeared to be a discrepancy between the management plan and the act itself.
"It wasn't clear to us then and it's still not clear to us which part of the law controls how they interplay between one and another and what role the two states' forest practices act play in that legal question," Nichols said.
According to Lang, Nichols and Spadaro, this is not the first time this issue has come up; in 1995 the Gorge Commission sought a restraining order against a private landowner in Washington to prevent commercial logging operations. The landowner then pulled their application.
In 1990, as the Management act was being formulated, then-Oregon Assistant Attorney General Michael Huston delivered guidance to the Gorge commission on the land guidance designation.
Most of the memo deals with the Gorge Commission's authority to designate land in an unrestricted way.
Huston reaffirms the Commission's authority to apply designations and restrictions to land within the scenic area; however near the end of a 10-page memo Huston cites Oregon Sen. Mark Hatfield, one of the key architects of the National Scenic Area Act, for the interpretation of the savings provision.
"The savings provisions clearly state that timber harvest practices in the scenic area will continue to be governed by the Oregon and Washington Forest Practices Acts or applicable county regulations and will not be subject to potential federal regulations by the Gorge Commission," Hatfield stated in his introduction to the bill when it was put before Congress.
"This provision was specifically included to avoid the imposition of an additional overlay of regulation on timber management practices with the scenic area."
Huston notes that forest practices include reforestation, road construction, harvesting of trees, application of chemicals and disposal of slash.
"These are activities taking place on land already designated as forest lands and, as such, are entirely separate from the designation process itself," Huston wrote.
How the language in the act works with the management plan, and the fate of some 3,000 acres of privately held timberland in scenic area's general management area, have yet to be decided.
"This instance underscores the complexity of having several agencies having jurisdiction," Weeks said. "There are two states, several federal agencies and several state agencies."
That complexity may be getting simplified somewhat in the near future.
"This logging activity raised this issue to the awareness to a number of agencies," Nichols said, adding later: "We'd have liked to have this answered six months ago ... or 20 years ago, we'd have liked to have this answered a long time ago."

A.J. Trahan is an artist we've featured here before, at least partially, for his work on Epic Mickey. But the stuff we're going to look at today is a little grander in scale.
Trahan was one of the 117,342 artists who worked on Halo 4, but in addition to his contributions to Microsoft's latest blockbuster, we'll also be looking at his other work, including pieces from the "why the hell isn't it out yet" Panzer 88.

Gift Ideas for Beaders: Jean's Wish List and a New Reader Poll
This Beader's Gift List
When my birthday or the holidays roll around and people ask me what I'm wishing for, I give the rote, "Oh, just good kids, health, and a nice dinner with loved ones." But it's all a sham. I secretly LOVE receiving gifts! The big fancy ones are nice, but the gifts I get really excited about are those that the giver really puts some thought into. Something tailored just for me. This type of gift—whether made or purchased—comes with a card saying, "This really reminded me of you" or "I knew you needed this."
Problem is—being the frugal "all I want is nice children and to avoid the flu" puritan that I am, I realize that most of those around me don't really know what I want or need. So, now that I'm at an age where the red hat and purple dress are right around the corner, I've decided I'm going to make my needs clear. And when my birthday approaches this fall, I'm going to give out a list. This list. It's a jumbly list, filled with somewhat obscure beading products. But as you can probably imagine, my stash is already obnoxious and it's the whipped-cream-with-sprinkles additions I now crave.
1. Metal/rock tumbler
This has been on my list for a long time. I need a tumbler for polishing my metal clay pieces, but I'd also like it for tumbling rocks, sea glass, and other found objects.
2. True-color floor lamp
There are all kinds of true-color task lights, but the one I have my eye on is big–meant to sit by the couch as a beautiful piece of furniture. If I had something like that, I'd be able to see well as I bead in comfort.
3. Gold metal clay paste
I've got an itch to experiment with adding gold accents on my silver metal clay pieces, and this paste looks like the easiest way to achieve the look.
4. Bead pattern design software
There are quite a few programs out there that help you chart patterns, something I'd like to revive in my own work.
5. Milagros
I have such an affinity for these stamped metal "miracles" charms from Latin America that I find my stash constantly short. It's fun when other people pick these out for you because they symbolize a prayer or need. A perfect, thoughtful gift!
What's on your wish list? Take this quick poll and we'll share the results in a future newsletter.
Jean Campbell writes about beading and life every Wednesday on Beading Daily. If you have comments or questions for Jean, please post them on the website. Thanks!


text: I saw the 2018 free membership figure is coming under a lot of scrutiny due to it's lack of identification with the classic figure that it is supposed to represent. i feel it only fair to let the club know (respectfully of course) where we as the fans/collectors/subscribers feel it is disappointing us , and give us the opportunity to make viable suggestions as to how we hope the figure cam be remedied before production. i will start with my observations/recommendations , the overall build of the figure is not bad , i would personally prefer the 25th torso used on snow job/wild weasel etc as it closest resembles the original , however if that is not possible then the current build could be made better by fixing the paint apps to properly resemble the v2 RnR figure m paint the shirt tan right down to the bottom of the shirt , ditch the darker brown , paint the boots and gloves black, use a lighter green and colour the legs in the light green and a darker green for the camo , get rid of the darker brown band around the hat and keep it all tan like the original. this would fix the paint to a satisfactory and acceptable condition. also supply a second gatling gun and ammo strap as the twin gatling guns are that figures trademark.please club , do this for us fans and we will be gushing about the figure .

This Saturday, all eyes in the cycling world will be focused on Milan-San Remo, or La Classica di Primavera, the first cycling monument of the season and also the longest one-day professional race all year at 298km. Although known as the sprinters' classic, Milan-San Remo has been won by an impressive array of cycling champions, from Gino Bartali and Fausto Coppi to Eddy Merckx, Laurent Fignon, Erik Zabel, Mario Cipollini, and, in the last few years, Fabian Cancellara, Mark Cavendish and Oscar Freire.
While not known for extreme altitude, Milan-San Remo is famous for 2 short but steep pitches near the end of the race (which loom even larger after 6 or 7 hours of intense racing), the Cipressa and Poggio climbs. The March issue of Cycle Sport magazine has a great article on the Poggio climb in Milan-San Remo, where they described it as "the crux of the opening Classic of the year, Milan-San Remo. The Poggio is not as steep, long, hard or beautiful as any of the other climbs we've ever featured, and for 364 days a year it is a quiet suburban drag. But on Classicissima day, it is one of the most intense spectator experiences in cycling. Its slopes have been consecrated by the greatest champions, from Eddy Merckx to Mark Cavendish."
Last year, 3-time World Champion Oscar Freire won Milan-San Remo for the third time, out-foxing the best riders in the world with a vintage sprint finish:
So who's going to win this year? Will Cavendish find his form again; will Freire dig deep for another win; will Cancellara motor away; will the 3-headed Garmin-Cervelo monster of Tyler Farrar, Heinrich Haussler and current World Champion Thor Hushovd muscle their way to a win? Who knows, but we'll be watching!
We'll leave you with one of our favorite photos from La Classicisima, this perfect shot of Eddy Merckx, 7-time champion of Milan-San Remo, winning on the Via Roma in 1966 (which is featured in "The Spring Classics", an in-depth history and visual tour of some of cycling's classic races).
If that photo doesn't get you inspired to get out there and ride this weekend, we don't know what will!

Diving Oceans On Other Worlds
Posted 20 September 2012 - 10:34 PM
I have had a long time interest in UFO's, and indeed, have been abducted, experienced missing time, and have(had) alien hybrid children up there. For me, ET's are real, nearby, and not introducing themselves at this time because of the non-interference policy, similar to 'Prime Directive' of Star Trek. First contact and Disclosure might not be that far off.
I have had visions of a far off water world in the Pleiadian system, a world almost completely covered by tropical water and reefs. If we look a little closer to home, the planet Mars has many anomalies, one of which seems to be evidence of a vast ocean in the distant past. Indeed, there is plant life and what look to be lakes on the surface of Mars. Globe hopping once more, I look to the writings of Alex Collier, an Andromedan contactee, who stated that there are vast lakes under the surface of the moon, and indeed, that the moon itself is a manufactured planetoid.
There are many stories, also, of an Inner Earth with a central sun, rivers, lakes, mountains, and a vast inner ocean. One witness of this was Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd in 1947. Byrd flew to the north pole and instead of flying over the pole, entered Inner Earth. Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian, sailed into the Inner Earth, as described in his book 'The Smoky God'.
I would suggest that sometime within the next decade, we will make the collective leap into space and inner Earth and new frontiers will open up. One of these will be oceans and lakes of vastly different qualities, inhabited by unimaginable creatures and corals. And many of us will have the opportunity to take to the waters.
I post this here because Wetpixel is cutting edge in many ways, two of which are the intellect of its members and the willingness to embrace any new frontiers, be they technological or physical.

At this stage in our evolution we are so ready to trash our environment, so immature in our approach to long term sustainability of our lives and culture and indeed, of Mother Earth herself. First, we should look to the cleaning up of our act here on Earth, which I believe is what you alluded to. Yet, I do believe, that as divers we see the mess others have made, we love the sharks that others despise and fear, we have an empathy with the ocean and her creatures that most simply do not understand. If any class of people were ready to take that next step, perhaps it would be us.

Nanu Nanu! Instantly coming to mind is the doco that details Robin Williams' (Mork from Ork) interactions with dolphins in the wild. This was obviously a profound experience that touched him on a very deep level.
Over at Wikipedia the Mars Ocean Hypothesis is discussed with some credibility. www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_ocean_hypothesis
I don't know if many of you have seen the fossilised crinoid photos disclosed by Richard Hoagland. Very interesting. A collector of marine fossils for 34 years identified it as an early crinoid. www.enterprisemission.com/_articles/03-08-2004/crinoid_cover-up.htm I have browsed other forums on the web discussing this fossil and no alternative theory of any credibility has been proposed.
Interestingly, when searching for 'Mars, water' I came across an article published just today in which NASA confirms that flowing water was present on at least one part of Mars for thousands or millions of years. William Dietrich, a professor of geomorphology and member of the Curiosity imaging science team, said that it was "the first time we are actually seeing water transported gravel on Mars".
Thanks, Marjo, your support means a lot to me.

Now, what we really want to know is if there is an unidentified commensal shrimp living on that crinoid or if it is just a typical Periclimenes amboinensis one!!!

There's something new for returning and first-time Texas A&M International University students this Spring: All must provide proof of bacterial meningitis vaccination.
A new state law passed by the Legislature earlier this year, became effective Jan. 1 and requires all college-bound new students, transfer students and returning students provide proof of vaccination.
The Jamie Schanbaum and Nicolis Williams Act requires that a bacterial meningitis vaccine be administered to new college students under 30, transfer students and students who have been away from school for a semester or more. Anyone whose vaccination is more than five years old must get a booster.
Students must provide evidence of vaccination or evidence of having declined the vaccination. Evidence to decline vaccination requires an affidavit or a certificate signed by a physician duly registered to practice medicine in the U.S. It must state that in the doctor's opinion, the vaccination required would be injurious to the health or well-being of the students.
A student may also decline the vaccination for reasons of conscience, including a religious belief. A conscientious exemption form, https://webds.dshs.state.tx.us/immco/affidavit.shtm, from the Texas Department of State Health Services, must be used. Please allow several weeks for delivery.
Students are strongly encouraged to receive the vaccination.
Spring 2012 classes start Tuesday, Jan. 17.
The law is named after two students who were afflicted with meningitis. Schanbaum, a student from the University of Texas, lost most of her fingers and both feet because of the disease. Earlier this year, Texas A&M student Williams died of complications from meningitis. He lived off campus and wasn't required to get the vaccine.
The City of Laredo Health Department offers the immunization for $8. Contact the Health Department at 723-2051 for more information on their immunization program.
For more information on meningitis: http://www.cdc.gov/meningitis/about/faq.html
For more information, visit the TAMIU Student Health Services online at http://www.tamiu.edu/wellness/stuhealth.shtml or in the Student Center, room 125 or call 956-326-2235.
University offices will close on Monday, Jan. 16 in a State-authorized observance of Martin Luther King Day.
