eFiling and eService news
Common Pleas Administrative Judge John J. Russo and Clerk of Courts Andrea F. Rocco are happy to announce that eFile users will be able to eFile in criminal cases starting 4/30/14.
Efiling will be mandatory in civil cases on 6/1/14
, and the expected date for mandatory e-filing in criminal cases is 11/1/14. Training sessions will be scheduled in the near future.
If you do not yet have an eFiling account, complete and submit this form to the Clerk of Courts;
Clerk of Court Electronic Filing Registration Form.
Also, eFile users now have more options with eService:
(1) 'Put me on copy when electronic service email is sent to all parties' will put the filing attorney on CC to all eService emails sent to other counsel for their filing. This will increase the number of email notifications you will get for the filing but will tell you exactly when eService was sent and to whom.
(2) 'Send me electronic service for this filing' will send the filing attorney an eService email for the filing and put a record of the filing in the attorney's eService screen.
This is useful if you want to know when the Clerk-stamped image has been created so you can retrieve a copy of the filing.
Users can set these as default preferences on the My Settings screen by clicking the user's name in the upper right-hand corner of the system. You will always be able to change the selection on the eService screen by checking or unchecking the box.

Brian Kemple publicly defended his dissertation on Aug. 26 before the University community and his dissertation board. It was accepted by the Center for Thomistic Studies, and in May he will be the 28th recipient of a doctorate in philosophy from the University of St. Thomas. Kemple's dissertation, "Ens Primum Cognitum in Thomas Aquinas and the Tradition" addresses an issue central to Medieval scholarship and especially to Thomistic thought: what does Thomas Aquinas mean by stating that being is the first object known by the intellect? The dissertation lays out a coherent interpretation of Thomas' position by examining his theory of knowledge, aided by a consideration of some of the most important thinkers in the Thomistic tradition. "In the spring of 2011, the first year of earning my master's at St. Thomas, Dr. John Deely said a few things about what Thomas means by 'being as first known' in his class," Kemple said. "He and I talked about it quite a bit that semester, and have talked about it ever since." After graduation, Kemple will teach Ethics at the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston while applying for full time positions at universities around the country. He intends to continue writing and publishing in philosophy with a current interest in comparing Martin Heidegger and Charles S. Peirce, and the intersection of their respective schools of phenomenology and semiotics.
The Center for Thomistic Studies is the only graduate philosophy program uniquely focused on the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas in the U.S. It is also home to the national office of the American Catholic Philosophical Association and sponsors the annual Aquinas Lecture, which features many of the Catholic scholars in philosophy and theology.

Maurice Binder Rips Himself Off
This was one of the last of the "alternate" Bond movies like the Harry Palmer movies, where key Bond people are recruited and asked to do something very different from what they do for Bond. John Barry comes through as he did in the Palmer films with a moody, un-Bond-ish score, but Binder's solution is just to do what he always does in Bond, but have the characters doing different things: the silhouetted woman has her clothes on -- bell bottoms, yet -- and they're brooding and writing letters instead of shooting off guns. That's not really enough to give the sequence its own non-Bond identity, but then Binder, great though he was, didn't have a whole lot of range as a title designer.
One thing here that Binder would later incorporate into the Bond titles themselves, though, is having the stars' faces actually appear. He'd do this with Roger Moore starting with The Spy Who Loved Me.

Jaime, how do you rate Blake Edwards' 1976 "The Pink Panther Strikes Again"?
- Michael Sporn said...
I always found Maurice Binder's work not great. There seemed to usually be a lot of high profile process work that flowed in and around music (usually a song) and didn't seem to have the big thought behind it all. It always looked attractive, but half the time one wondered what was happening on the screen.
If you looked at any of Saul Bass' titles or even Dan Perri, you'd see design with a purpose. The same cannot be said for Maurice Binder's work - at least from 1970 on. - 9:03 AM
- Stephen Rowley said...
I can't think of good post 1970s Binder, but some of his 60s work is very good. Dr No remains a really nifty title. Thunderball is now pure cliche because Binder ripped it off himself so often, but on its own terms it's a nice bit of work.
However, by the 70s and 80s his Bond work was the opposite end of the spectrum - really just ludicrously, laughably corny and bad. - 7:57 AM

I can't defend post-'70s Binder that much, but I thought his Bond titles continued to at least be appropriate for the films for a few years. (I mean, the movies were pretty ludicrous and corny too.) By the mid-'80s his titles had ceased making any kind of sense, though, except possibly as an excuse for him to film nude models. - 11:04 AM
- Stephen Rowley said...
Yes, the extremely bad ones I was thinking of were mostly his 80s ones.
- Joel Schlosberg said...
I've got to stick up for Binder's Charade titles, as being both very good and completely different from the Bond titles formula.

In many homes, closets are dark spaces too narrow to even accommodate a hanger. There are no codes for closet size, depth, or shape. In new builds, the space left for closets depends on the attitude of the designer or builder, says Bill Huntley, co-owner, with his wife Denise D'Eri, of ClosetPlace, in Wolfeboro, N.H. But, he adds, "The closet should not be an afterthought."
Plan It
"When we do a whole house, the closet is always part of the planning stage," says Christine Jurs, vice president of Advance Design Studio, in Gilberts, Ill. Jurs' clients complete a closet questionnaire that asks such questions as: How many dresses do you have? How many pairs of shoes? How many folded items? What type of storage is appealing for jewelry, lingerie, socks?
She asks clients how they envision their closet, whether it's for storage, as a place to fold or iron laundry, or for putting on makeup. Lighting becomes important, she says, if people are putting on makeup or dressing in their closet.
Huntley likes, ideally, to work with the homeowner — or builder or remodeler — early on to plan these "personal spaces." He has noticed that builders will install inexpensive systems and leave it up to the homeowner to upgrade. "We're trying to promote putting the closet into the planning stages of the home and creating a budget for it," he says.
Design It
Huntley designs and installs panel systems that hold adjustable drawers and shelves, as well as more spectacular customizable component systems. When designing a closet for an existing home, he hopes the contractor left him square, not angled, walls; doors that swing out from the closet; and light switches on the outside of the closet. "A typical closet system," he says, "is 14 to 24 inches in depth, so you have to leave that in the corners by the windows or doors."
Jurs, who has designed many custom closets, says her company actively promotes closets with built-ins, keeping costs down by making laminate systems appear built in. (She works with Plus Closets, plusclosets.com.) ADS does its own millwork. "We purchase paint-ready birch millwork and put that in," Jurs says, then the painter matches it to the laminate. ADS adds crown molding and frames mirrors. "You can have a custom closet at half the cost of a wood system with doors and still get all the gadgets, pull-outs, and hanging mechanisms," she says.

Spruce vs. Pine
During walkabout last night, I noticed this example of the different ways spruce and pine are affected by the ice. The tree on the left is a spruce, with short, thick single needles; the one on the right is a white pine, with long thin needles in groups of 5. We saw in an earlier picture how the white pine needles built up collective chunks of ice in fans. The net effect is that the pine is carrying a significantly higher ice load than the spruce. This may in part explain why the spruce has a more northerly range.

Change Agent Development Community
A Personal and Professional Development Community for Making a Significant Difference in Your Work and Life
What Is It?
The Change Agent Development Community has its foundation in a living systems paradigm. It draws on the idea that humans have a role and place in the world to become intentional about evolution and its direction for humans, life and Earth. Further, nothing and no one has reached their full potential – as a product, business, or natural resource or as a person.
Development of living-systems thinking capability and management of one's own state of being and will can endlessly advance intentional evolution and the expression of each living system's potential. This nature of growth is the most certain path to making a greater contribution, sourced from our individual uniqueness and essence, and to the experience of more meaning in our lives.
Who Is It For?
The Change Agent Development Community is for individuals who wish to deepen growth and development in their personal and professional lives. Further, they want to apply that growth to support an essence expression and intentional evolution approach to change. They may be running businesses or consulting to and coaching individuals businesses, and organizations in their pursuit of change.
They embrace the idea of producing change that has responsible effects in the world. Their work in the change agent community is based on gaining mastery of a Living Systems Approach and its core frameworks and practices, which have proven successful for more than six decades on four continents in more than fifty industries. These include businesses, educational systems, and nonprofit organizations, as well as community and economic development groups.
The Change Agent Development Community focuses on working, inventing and growing together over many years and generations. It has existed in evolving forms for six decades and is handed down as a legacy. It utilizes and continues to evolve a very well-tested and proven system of critical thinking and practice based in modern science and linguistics, evolutionary biology, systems psychology and the ancient and modern spiritual teachings and philosophy of Western and Eastern traditions. What members say about their experience.
There's no limit of possibility when working with Carol. There is no end point. There's instead continuous learning if you are willing to challenge yourself. The other individuals that have sought out this work also add to the richness of discussion and learning and provide a caliber of peer-to-peer learning that I had never been exposed to before.
Carol's work and methods shock you out of patterns and habits that may not be doing you or your work justice, bringing clarity not only to the path of your career but to how you walk it. – Alana Kambury, Starvation Alley, Pinchot graduate.
Working with Carol and the group she facilitates in Santa Fe, I am ever more deeply aware of the meaning of the term "a living school". A living school is not about information sharing, or even process development, but rather about holding a life-motivating question and learning how to live into that question. Mary Emeny, Board Member, Democracy Collaborative.
"Our business had been successful, but I was starting to get bored and lose interest. Connecting with Carol's work literally regenerated my passion and excitement for the company – we are now creating larger positive change in a more systemic way than ever before.
"When I first started working with Carol, I was skeptical about the investment of time and money. But as I continued, huge shifts started to happen in me and inside my firm. Carol has a way of integrating deep personal development with razor-sharp business strategy – it's unparalleled in anything I've ever seen."
– Ethan Roland, CFO Terra Genesis International Principal, AppleSeed Permaculture LLC
"Since we started working with Carol, we've seen consistent 25%+ growth in gross and up to 48% growth in net profits." – Dyami Nason-Regan, CEO AppleSeed Permaculture LLC
How to Join
You must be invited by a current member.
There are three levels of engagement in the Change Agent Development Community, each with more opportunities to apply the work and ways to participate than the previous. Each expanded level includes the benefits of all the previous levels. To determine the best level for you requires a conversation with a member in SEED Communities.
All scopes of members and attendance in events are by invitation only because the materials and processes are proprietary and access to them requires an agreement. Anyone who has been an active member of the community for one full year may invite another person in at the Professional Growth level. When they do, they accept life long stewardship for that person's engagement. SEED Communities membership site provides guidelines for making invitations.
Entry into any level requires commitment to a one-year membership and prepayment of a nonrefundable membership fee. The agreements are different than certification or licensing; it is tied to active participation, both in the community and in the development series and augmenting sessions. Payment for the learning is made through community membership, not as a licensing fee or certification program fee, and also not as a payment for courses. The SEED Community developmental processes and materials, when applied, involves more self-determination than traditional certification and licensing. Personal agency is supported and also connected to ongoing second-line community work in pursuit of world changing endeavors.
Carol has changed the way I think about and engage in my work and interactions. With the help of the frameworks and perspectives she offers, I have become more conscious of my approach to a given situation, mapping out a clear aim and process for myself and being more deliberate in managing inputs and responses along the way.
The value is often hard to put into words because it supports and encompasses so many working processes, but in effect she offers instruments to yield success and pathways to consider in the process of living and working in deeply considered ways. This is the work for anyone trying to change the world, and I can't more highly recommend Carol as a resource accordingly. – Lauren Yarmuth
Commitment from Participants
Community development events are offered on sixteen weekends throughout the year in New York City, Boston, Santa Fe (New Mexico), and Seattle. Each community member commits to the principle of "accepting or rejecting nothing without testing with personal experience." The annual membership fee at each entry level allows for attending as many of these sessions as possible, but four is usual for most members. There are also as many as twelve webinars each year, which augment the on-site weekends; books and papers are provided; and members are invited to attend an optional annual summit.
Getting Help: There are no on- on-one sessions included and are not available with this membership. Work with the person who invited you for help or other members who agree to engage. To pose questions to Carol directly— this happens ONLY DURING a session in person or on line. It is done so everyone hears the question and answer at the same time and learns together. No exceptions to this. NO private sessions. Also there is no feedback on your work in process since we do not believe in feedback in this School. But working with a thinking partner is very powerful by arranging engagements with other member from the community. The Business Development level has separate sessions to examine your work with clients and projects, potentially available after Year one is complete.
Professional Growth Membership Level —DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVITE ACCEPTED
One recurring annual payment of $1,000 Register here
(You will receive a renewal reminder each year prior to your anniversary date)
Members at this level receive the benefit of attending up to 16 events in one calendar year from their anniversary date. In addition, they also receive one book a year or four or more articles by Carol Sanford or other SEED Community leaders. In addition, they may attend four webinars focused on personal development and the philosophy behind the technology of the community.
Webinars are about two hours long and are accessed via an invitation from the platform. These sessions provide additional developmental materials and engagement with people from around the country for enriching ones knowledge, understanding, and experience.
A member's anniversary date is one year from the date they joined. Following renewal for a second year, members receive a personal, one-hour Essence Discovery session with Carol or another experienced community leader. This is a one-time event.
Conditions: All materials are restricted to personal use and may not be used in or with other organizations. They may not be shared with others outside the group. They may not be used in income-producing ways or within a company in revenue-producing ways, except as you are intrinsically changed as a person or leader.
Business Development Membership Level
One recurring annual payment of $2,000 Register here
OR Two recurring payments (6 months apart) of $1,025 Register here
(You will receive a renewal reminder each year prior to your anniversary date)
Members at this level receive all of the benefits at the Professional Growth level, including six to eight articles a year. Other benefits at this level include one Q & A call per quarter plus four webinars a year with Carol offering "design help" in a fishbowl format (work with one person directly, while other participants learn from watching, listening, and reflecting). Carol will have time to work with two or three people directly in each webinar. Members are also welcome to attend the four webinars offered at the Professional Growth level. Recordings of all webinars are available to members at the SEED Communities website.
Conditions: This level of membership may be considered after one full year of paid attendance at the Professional Growth level. Entry is by agreement and written contract only and most often appropriate for consultants, business owners, and business leaders. It is the default level for business owners and organization leaders.
With a contractual agreement, expanded use of materials is possible for as long as the member remains in the community and pays to participate at this level. When participation ends, all rights to use of materials cease.
Carol Sanford Institute (CSI) Associate Membership Level
One recurring annual payment of $2,500 Register here
OR Two recurring payments (6 months apart) of $1,275 Register here
(You will receive a renewal reminder each year prior to your anniversary date)
Members at this level receive all the benefits at the Professional Growth and Business Development levels. The major difference here is the assumption that you are preparing to be part of the business change practice with the Carol Sanford Institute, which may include contracts to work with clients of the Institute, using the proprietary curriculum. Consulting work is the aim, but is not guaranteed.
As with the other levels, entry is by invitation only, but it includes opportunities to participate in income-producing consulting with CSI clients (contract required).
In addition, four webinars a year are offered, in which members engage with a proprietary curriculum—not available at other levels—to be used with clients contracted by CSI and nowhere else. There will also be some video lessons. Members at this level are always welcome to join the Professional Growth and Business Development webinars, as well.
Conditions: Initially, the curriculum may be used only with clients under a CSI contract. The materials and curriculum are owned, trademarked and copyrighted by the Carol Sanford Institute and all rights are reserved. This agreement may change with time, and members always have the right to stop participating.
CSI Associate Guidelines
The primary guideline for membership at the CSI Associate level is personal stewardship for the Developmental School and its technology and purpose, as offered through business and community events, via esoteric, mesoteric, and exoteric forums. The intention is to build a developmental community, not a consulting practice, with reciprocity for direct educational contribution. CSI contributes funding to build the school, as well as provide income.
Therefore the following guidelines apply, and a member's support for the community is demonstrated by adherence to them.
You have been a member of the Change Agent Development Community at the Business Development level for a minimum of two years. You value the contractual agreement at that level and will use the frameworks it offers actively in onsite sessions with your own clients. This is coupled with your belief that business is a node among human systems at which change can be leveraged into all social systems and cultural arenas.
For a minimum of two years, you have been in your own consulting practice or you have been in a role in an organization that is the equivalent (for example, you have connected with clients over the course of sustained efforts, rather than for only single events; you have led some change efforts to successful conclusions).
You are a good householder in terms of your own finances and are self-reliant and resilient.
You have a clear intention to be discerning about integrity with CSI's technology, materials, and processes. You will not mix paradigms when engaging in the work or use the technology with other philosophies and practices. This agreement will hold, even as you evolve the technology and design for clients. Mixing and matching paradigms diminishes the discernment of everyone, including educators, community members, and students.
You have demonstrated a continuous commitment to your own personal development for some years.
You understand that a CSI Associate may NOT use CSI proprietary materials in another professional practice without express written permission. These materials are the sole property of CSI until otherwise agreed.
You understand that being accepted at this level does not guarantee that paid work for you will be forthcoming immediately or perhaps ever—although the intention is to grow the business rapidly so that associates may learn and help develop the technology as it is applied to real change efforts in a business.
All rights to use materials and processes are forfeited when you leave the Change Agent Development Community. Authority is dependent on paid membership and ongoing involvement in the community.
If you find a non-CSI client who you think is a good fit for the curriculum, you may bring them in as a client of CSI and establish a cooperative offering under CSI for the work to be done. In return, you will receive a 40 percent share of the "after direct-expense revenue" instead of a contractor fee. (You will be responsible for negotiating this structure with the client.). You may not contract for consulting based on CSI proprietary materials except under CSI auspices. In other words, to use the CSI technology and materials, you must speak as a CSI associate and work with CSI to arrange work at its rates.
The Work of CSI
CSI's educational program and consultation activities develop consciousness capability and expression that enable human beings to play their roles in evolutionary patterns in this solar system. Those roles are particularly focused on elevating the levels of energy available and on the ordering and organizing of those energies in value-adding processes. This work cuts across many fields and disciplines, from business and education to community and economic development, and many more.
To Begin Your Membership in the Change Agent Development Community at the CSI Associate Level, please click the level above. Membership is paid annually on your anniversary date; this is not a pay-per-session course. You may attend as many events in as many locations as you choose in return for your annual membership fee. Membership also includes all materials and one individual engagement annually per person.
Note: Principles for sharing materials at the Business Development level apply here as well, but because most cannot be shared, the CSI principles supersede the Business Development principles where there is a conflict or seeming conflict.
"I believe that there are certain things that can only be learned from real masters. Carol Sanford is such a master. I experienced taking the craft of leading change way beyond tools and methods, to a place of fundamentally understanding of how human beings and living systems work .It has changed how I work (or engage people).

Braxton hicks symptoms or pre term labor?
Patient : 31 weeks pregnant braxton hicks: symptoms, lower back pain, diarrhea, and at times can't breath. Sometimea the braxton hicks don't hurt but most of the time they do and i can not breathe or talk. My ob appointment is in about 2 weeks.
Symptoms: Can't breathe when i have braxton hicks, lower back pain, diarrhea? Braton hicks hurts at times
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
Usually, braxton Hickscon tractions are painless contractions, which do not need any Intervention.
With increasing gestational age, the size of the uterus increases, which can push the thoracic organs upwards leading to a little bit of breathlessness.
This can be relieved by changing the position, taking rest etc.
If you are getting painful contractions repeatedly, better to consult your doctor once and get examined to rule out preterm labour.
Diarrhea persists, you may need antidiarrheal drugs to control it, taking plenty of water and fluids can prevent dehydration.
Take care.

Two Delicious Sides for Easter Dinner
No Easter dinner is complete without Grandma's favorite country ham. But, you can still play with the side dishes! Potato Gruyere Gratin provides the old fashioned creamy elegance while Freshly Grilled Spicy Lemon Asparagus adds a bit of deliciously modern flair! Enjoy.
Easter is the perfect time to serve the comforting creamy goodness of Potato Gruyere Gratin. Warm the sauce, assemble the casserole, and then let it cook while you catch up on all the latest family news. Simply irresistible for young and old alike, this recipe will become a welcome addition to your home-style cooking repertoire.
- 1/2 cup onion, minced
- 2 Tbsp plus 1 t butter
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp ground garlic
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 3-4 dashes Tabasco
- 8 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded, divided use
- 8 medium red potatoes, (about 3 lbs, or four cups sliced)
- Grate or shred the cheese and place in a bowl. Mince onions.
- Melt 2 tablespoon butter in the sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté about 8 minutes. The onions should be tender but not browned.
- In the same saucepan, add the milk, cream, garlic, thyme, black pepper, and about 1/2 cup cheese. Reduce heat to low and stir constantly until the cheese is melting. Do not boil, just get it hot. Remove from heat and set aside while you prep the potatoes.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Rub 1 teaspoon butter over the inside of a 2 quart casserole dish and set aside.
- Do not peel the potatoes. Rinse them well and slice off any roots or icky parts. Cut in half, it does not matter which direction. Place each potato half on a cutting board with the cut side down and thinly slice (1/4 inch in thickness is just fine). When cut in this half-moon way, each slice has a bit of peel.
- Fan out half of the potatoes in the buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle with half of the remaining cheese. Pour about half of the cream and cheese mixture over the potatoes. Add the rest of the potatoes in a second layer. Pour on the rest of the cream and top with the rest of the cheese.
- Take care not to overfill your casserole dish or the sauce will bubble over and create a lovely mess. Fill only to about the halfway mark or so. If you used more potatoes then called for, just add a splash of cream to get the liquid up to the right point.
- Cover with a lid and bake for an hour and 15 minutes - or until the potatoes are tender and deliciously browned bits form on the sides and top. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender. The length of cookery time may vary a little depending on how thickly you slice your potatoes.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest, with the lid on, for 10 minutes. Set the gratin on the table and watch it disappear.
Freshly Grilled Spicy Lemon Asparagus completes an Easter meal to perfection. Delicately blended with the freshness of lemons and the earthy flavors of spicy brown mustard and garlic, this healthy dish goes from grill to table in 10 minutes or less.
- 1 pound asparagus, washed and well drained, trim off the woody ends
- 1 tsp lemon zest, from one fresh lemon
- 6 cloves garlic, pressed or very finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp mustard, preferably spicy brown
- 1 Tbsp plus 1 t lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Prepare the grill for the asparagus.
- Make the marinade by mixing the lemon zest, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, and olive oil. The marinade will be slightly thick. If you love lemon, you may double the zest.
- Place the marinade and asparagus in a zip lock bag or tightly covered bowl. Turn or toss to coat each spear. Set on the counter for 30 minutes.
- Remove the spears from the bag, shake off the excess marinade, and arrange on the grill. Discard remaining marinade.
- As you grill, turn the asparagus regularly to prevent excessive charring. Cooking time will be 5-10 minutes, depending on your grill.
- Remove when the asparagus is browned, not burnt, and fork tender. Serve immediately.
This recipe works just as beautifully on an electric or gas grill. It will cook more quickly on counter top electric grills that heat on both sides at once. The spears may be grilled individually, or in groups stuck together with skewers. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water first. Turn the recipe into a main vegetarian meal by slicing the grilled asparagus into 2 inch pieces and toss with hot orzo and a little feta cheese.

Eulalius, (died 423), antipope from December 418 to April 419. He was an archdeacon set up against Pope St. Boniface I by a clerical faction. The rivalry that ensued led to the first interference of the temporal authorities in papal elections. Both the Pope and the Antipope were asked by Emperor Honorius to leave Rome pending a council's decision, but Eulalius (the imperial favourite) imprudently returned to perform the Holy Week services at the Lateran. For this defiance of the Emperor's orders he was rejected, and Boniface was declared the legitimate pope. When Boniface died, some thought Eulalius would seek to ... (100 of 117 words)

What is the difference between "joint with rights of survivorship" and "tenants in common"? What is a revocable living trust and how do we document it? Do we really need a corporate resolution? How do we open accounts for minors? Have you or someone at your institution asked these questions and others like them? If so, don't miss this seminar.

ESC-wise, I really love Romania. They're one of my favorite countries. They've sent so many great songs. Of course they don't always get it right, but when they do, wow. :-) 2005 and 2006 were some of their best years ... and of course last year, when they ended up third with the fantastic Playing With Fire. Their dream is, naturally, to one day win - and I for one would love to see the contest in Bucharest. Will this be Romania's year? I'm genuinely sorry to say that I don't think so. If they couldn't do it with Playing With Fire, I seriously doubt that they can do it with Change. But!
Don't let the fact that I don't see this song as a winner lead you to think that I don't like it. On the contrary, I love it. Another Romanian favorite. :-) The problem is that I can't tell you exactly what's so great about it. I really like the opening. I like the piano keeping the beat. I like the singer's voice. I like the chorus. But do I like these things because they're good, or do I just like them because I like them? Couldn't tell you. My bias may be clouding my judgment on this one. But I like the song a lot and I will have my fingers crossed for Romania this year. As usual. :-)
One thing I don't like is the singer's outfit. It's his shirt. There's something about it, I can't put my finger on exactly what, but it's really distracting. He needs to change his outfit. But I think he can do it. He can change! :-D
This is Hotel FM performing Change by Gabriel Băruţă and Alexandra Ivan, who will be competing for Romania on Thursday, May 12th. They're in the second semi, so I can vote for them, yay! :-D

Morality- Involves the values that govern a group's ideas about right and wrong Ethics- refers to the rules used to determine the difference between right and wrong
1) Greatest Good ◦ The action will cause the greatest good for the greatest number of people. ◦ The more good that results, the more right the action ◦ It is used incorrectly when people think only of their own good, or if a person sees only the good created for a small group. 2) Golden Rule ◦ "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" ◦ Heart of the rule is EMPATHY- putting yourself in another person's position. 3) Real-World Ethics ◦ There are moral rules that most people know instinctively, without thinking. Ex. Lying is wrong ◦ Sometimes you have to do something wrong, ex. Lie, to lead to the best result (ex. Save a life).
Honesty ◦ Character trait of someone who is truthful in dealings with others Justice ◦ Treating people fairly and equally ◦ Everyone gets his or her fair share Compassion ◦ Caring about other people and the situation they are in. ◦ Understand other people's mistakes and motivations Integrity ◦ A willingness and determination to do the right thing ◦ Stand up for their convictions even when many people are against them.
◦ Government created laws because people don't always do what they are supposed to ◦ Law- system of rules of conduct established by a country's government to maintain stability and justice according to the values that are relevant to the country. Defines the legal rights and responsibilities of the people Can require certain actions, or forbid others. ◦ Ethics and law affect each other Used to be ethically acceptable to have slaves, so there were laws that enforced it No longer acceptable, laws had to be changed.
GO to page 9 and complete the "Business Ethics" activity.
1)Constitutional Law Constitution- a country's formal document that spells out the principles by which its government operates. United States Constitution describes the three branches of the U.S. government Sets up the limits within which the federal and state governments may pass laws. Sets down the rights of the people.
◦ Article I Sets up the Legislative Branch of the government, Congress, which is responsible for passing laws for the country and lays out duties and requirements for serving in the federal government. ◦ Article II Creates Executive Branch, which includes the President and all the different departments within the government Responsible for ensuring that the laws passed by Congress are upheld and followed ◦ Article III Describes the Judiciary Branch Responsible for interpreting the laws passed by Congress and adjudicating (judge) criminal cases in federal matters and disputes between parties.
◦ First three Articles cause a "checks and balances" system. No one part of government is more powerful than the other. ◦ Other important Articles Article IV (4)- Each state must accept the laws of other states. Article V (5)- How laws are added to the Constitution (amendments) Article VI (6)- Contains Supremacy Clause- U.S. Constitution and laws of the U.S. are highest laws in the country. Article VII (7)- Explains how to approve the Constitution. ◦ Constitution has 27 amendments. First 10 are called the Bill of Rights 13 TH Amendment- abolished slavery, 19 th Amendment- gave women right to vote, 26 th Amendment- lowered voting age to 18 years old.
Common Law Set of laws made by the courts which provide a series of consistent rules that later courts must follow. Judges use past cases to help them make decisions. Past cases are known as Precedent. Precedent- A past case that a court follows when making a present decision. Stare decisis ("Let the decision stand")- relying on past court cases Not used today that much. Statutes and the Civil Law System Civil law is based on statutes, rather than court decisions. Statute- a law passed by a government body that has been made for the purpose of creating laws. Can order people to do something (ex. Wear seatbelts) Can say people can't do something, also known as a criminal statute (ex. Murder is a crime)
Federal Statute Laws that are passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by the President State Statutes State legislators cannot pass statutes that conflict with the U.S. Constitution or their own constitutions. (refer to example on page 13) Ordinances Most local governments have the power to create laws that affect their citizens, laws known as ordinances. Include things like parking fines and noise levels after a certain time of day.
Court Decisions ◦ Courts make laws, known as case law, court decisions, or judge-made law ◦ Courts make laws in three ways: Common law tradition Interpreting statutes Judicial Review ◦ Creating laws-decisions made by the highest courts in the state must be followed by other courts in that state. ◦ Interpreting laws- when a statute is confusing, the court must figure out what it means. Judge may not interpret a statute unless it is part of a case. ◦ Judicial review- courts decide if any law conflicts with the Constitution. Supreme Court has final say.
Chapter 1.2 The Court System and Trial Procedures
Federal ◦ Hear cases involving federal subjects ◦ Hear cases involving citizens from different states or from another country State ◦ Powers not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved for the states. ◦ Have their own courts with their own rules
Jurisdiction- a court's power to hear a case and to make a judgment 1.Actions in which the United States or one state is a party, except those actions between a state and its citizens 2.Cases that raise a federal questions, such as interpreting the Constitution 3.Cases, which involve citizens of different states and in which the amount of money in dispute exceeds $75,000 4.Admiralty cases, or those pertaining to the sea 5.Patent and copyright cases 6.Bankruptcy cases
Federal courts are arranged in three tiers. ◦ First tier is the U.S. District Court Each state has at least one, many have more than one ◦ Second tier consists of the U.S. Courts of Appeals ◦ Third tier is the U.S. Supreme Court
Go to a computer and find the answer to these 2 questions: ◦ Who was the first African American appointed to the Supreme Court? ◦ Who was the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court, and when was she appointed?
District Courts ◦ Have original jurisdiction A court has the power to hear a case for the first time. ◦ Most federal cases begin in one of the U.S. District Courts Courts of Appeals ◦ Appellate courts of the federal system Court that hears appeals and reviews cases from lower courts (can reverse court decisions) Intermediate Courts- one that is between the lower courts and the highest court of a system. Appellate jurisdiction- power to hear an appeal from a lower court Panel of 3 judges, no witnesses, no evidence and no jury Only questions of law can be raised, not fact (determine if law was properly applied.
Special U.S. Courts ◦ Special Federal Courts ◦ Have jurisdiction in certain kinds of cases ◦ Include lawsuits that are brought by citizens against the federal government Supreme Court ◦ Highest court in the country. ◦ Consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices ◦ President chooses the justices, with Senate's consent ◦ Justices serve for life ◦ Hear appeals, they choose which ones to hear (vote from 4 of 9) ◦ Two types of jurisdiction- appellate and original. ◦ Original jurisdiction in cases that involve ambassadors, consuls and other public ministers. Also in cases that involve a state.
Examine the makeup of the Supreme Court. Express your opinion about the age, race, or gender of the justices.

Intermediate Appellate Courts ◦ Hear Appeals When parties feel they did not have a fair trial Judge did not interpret the law correctly ◦ Only hear appeals on questions of law No witnesses Judge listens to attorneys and study documents and records State Supreme Courts ◦ Highest court in most states ◦ Hears appeals from lower courts, but does not hold a second trial ◦ Do NOT look at facts, just makes sure lower courts did not make a mistake with interpretation ◦ Some cases may be appeals to U.S. Supreme Court
