# Angèle Patassé

**Angèle Essotina Patassé** (c. 1955 – December 3, 2007) was a Togolese-born public figure who became First Lady of the Central African Republic from 1993 to 2003 as the wife of former President Ange-Félix Patassé.

## Biography

Patassé, a member of the Kabye people, was born **Angèle Essotina**. She was raised in the town of Kouméa, Kozah Prefecture, in the Kara Region of northern Togo.

In 1982, Central African Republic opposition leader Ange-Félix Patassé staged an attempted coup against President André Kolingba (who had recently come to power in the 1981 Central African Republic coup d'état less than a year earlier). Patassé's coup attempt failed, forcing him and his family to flee to Togo, where he lived in exile from 1982 until his return in 1992. During his exile, Patassé divorced his first wife, Lucienne Patassé. He soon married his second wife, Angèle Essotina Patassé, a Togolese woman whom he met while living in the country. The couple had three children during their marriage.

In 1992, Ange-Félix Patassé returned to the Central African Republic from exile. A year later, he was elected president in the 1993 presidential election, an office he held from 1993 until his overthrow in 2003. Angèle Patassé, as his wife, became First Lady of the Central African Republic during his tenure.

In March 2003, First Lady Angèle Patassé accompanied her husband and a Central African government delegation to a regional summit in Niamey, Niger. While returning from Niger, President Ange-Félix Patassé was overthrown by General François Bozizé on March 15, 2003. According to an account by *Jeune Afrique*, the flight carrying President Patassé back to Bangui was delayed from taking off because First Lady Angèle Patassé was running late from a shopping trip in Niamey. While no one onboard the presidential plane was aware of the ongoing coup at the time, the first lady's lengthy shopping trip "setback probably saved the couple's life," wrote journalist François Soudan in *Jeune Afrique*. Bozizé and his rebels were seizing Bangui M'Poko International Airport just as Patassé's aircraft was on approach, forcing his plane to divert Yaoundé, Cameroon. While staying at the Yaoundé Hilton Hotel, Angèle and Ange-Félix Patassé learned that their two young children, Salomon and Providence, had been taken to the French embassy in Bangui. The children were soon evacuated by a Transall C-160 military transport aircraft to Libreville, Gabon, with other members of the Patassé family and their Togolese servants. Patassé visits with Cameroonian First Lady Chantal Biya, who also sends the Patassé family African food, though Cameroon President Paul Biya refuses to call former President Patassé. Gabonese First Lady Edith Bongo also spoke with Patassé several times a day in the aftermath of the coup.

Angèle Patassé and her family flew to Lomé in her native Togo on March 19, 2003, where she lived in exile for the rest of her life.

Angèle Patassé died of a long illness, which reportedly included multiple organ failure, at a private clinic in Lomé, Togo, on December 3, 2007, at the age of 52. Her health had declined before her death. She was survived by her husband and their three children.

Angèle Patassé was buried in Lomé, Togo, on December 22, 2007, following a funeral at the Lomé villa were the former president and first lady had lived in exile since 2003. Dignitaries in attendance at her funeral included an official government delegation from the Central African Republic consisting of Minister of National Solidarity and Family Marie Solange Pagonendji-Ndakala, Minister of Urban Planning Timoléon Mbaikoua, vice president Sérédouma of the Central African Republic women's organization, and the Consul General of the Central African Republic in Togo, Mrs. Zoungoula. Former President Ange-Félix Patassé died in 2011.

# Eleanor of Prussia

**Eleanor of Prussia** (German: Eleonore von Preußen; 21 August 1583 – 9 April 1607) was a princess of the Duchy of Prussia by birth and Electress of Brandenburg by marriage.

## Life

Eleanor was the fourth daughter of Albert Frederick of Prussia (1553–1618), from his marriage to Marie Eleonore (1550–1608), daughter of Duke William "the Rich" of Jülich-Cleves-Berg. The princess grew up with her sisters in Königsberg Castle.

She married Joachim Frederick, Elector of Brandenburg (1546–1608), in Berlin on 2 November 1603 as his second wife. They married for political reasons: on the one hand, Joachim Frederick hoped to strengthen his influence on Prussia, where he acted as regent for Eleanor's insane father; on the other hand, he hoped to gain control of Jülich-Cleves-Berg, Eleanor's maternal inheritance.

Eleanor died at the age of 23 shortly after giving birth to her only child. She was buried on 26 April 1607 in the family crypt of the House of Hohenzollern in the Berlin Cathedral.

## Children

From her marriage Eleanor had one daughter, Marie Eleonore, who married Count Palatine Louis Philip, Count Palatine of Simmern-Kaiserslautern in 1631.

# Atholl Fleming

**Atholl Fleming MBE** (6 December 1894 – 6 May 1972) was a British actor and an Australian radio personality.

## Early life

He was the third of nine children of the Rev R. S. Fleming, a Scottish Baptist minister of Pitlochry and later Beckenham in Kent. After a fall as a child, he became deaf in his right ear. He was educated at the City of London School. He saw fighting in France during World War I with the Royal West Kent Regiment, notably the Battle of the Somme, and was wounded three times – a shrapnel wound to the head, a bayonet wound in the knee and gas injuries, which left him with a cough for the rest of his life. He was awarded the Freedom of the City of London.

## Career

After the War, he abandoned a career with the Bank of England for the stage, appearing in a number of Whitehall farces and dramas on BBC television at Alexandra Palace. He starred in *People Like Us* at The Strand in 1929. He toured Australia in 1932 with Dame Sybil Thorndike and Sir Lewis Casson, (playing Dunois in *St Joan* and Macduff in *the Scottish play*) and while in Sydney married fellow company member, Phyllis Best, daughter of Sir Robert Best, a former member of the Australian parliament from Hawthorn, Victoria. Their son Robert Atholl Fleming (later a British television director and producer and MD of Argo Productions,) was born in 1933. Fleming appeared in a number of British films throughout the 1930s most notably as Bulldog Drummond in the Jack Hulbert comedy thriller *Bulldog Jack* (1935).

Before the outbreak of the Second World War he volunteered for duty, but was rejected because of his age and WWI injuries. His Australian father-in-law persuaded him to take his family to Australia. He joined E. J. Tait's touring company, then the Australian Broadcasting Commission as actor and drama producer. He was active in the British Drama League and acted as adjudicator for its annual competitions. In 1946 he was a member of the "Radio Players", who performed Max Catto's *They Walk Alone* and Philip Johnson's *Lover's Leap* to outstanding reviews. For a time, he was co-producer (with Richard Parry) for Kathleen Robinson's "Whitehall Institute of Dramatic Art", a competitor of Doris Fitton's Independent Theatre. He notably appeared as Gloucester in John Alden's 1951 production of King Lear at St James' Hall in Phillip Street. He was called upon to adjudicate at major drama festivals.

As "Mac" he became the central figure in the Australian Broadcasting Commission's 'Children's Session' and, as "Jason", became the leader, to children all over Australia, of the hugely popular Argonauts Club for most of its 31-year run, from 7 January 1941 until 2 April 1972. With his wife Phyllis he visited countless schools and children's hospitals. He became a figure much loved by generations of Australian children.

## Honours

He was awarded an MBE on 14 June 1969 for his contribution to broadcasting and his work with children.

Fleming loved sport. He was a founder member of the Stage Golfing Society (handicap 7) and the Stage Cricket Club in England. He started the Stage and Radio Cricket Club in Sydney. He was a useful bat, a good slip field and a Machiavellian captain.

Atholl Fleming retired in 1969, shortly before the Children's Session and Argonauts Club were closed due to the rise of television. He was one of the best-loved and most respected figures in Australian broadcasting.

title: 18th SS-Standarte

abstract: The 18th SS-Standarte was a regimental formation of the Allgemeine-SS located in the city of Königsberg. The Standarte was one of the earlier General-SS formations and had been founded in 1932, a year before Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in Germany. Throughout the 1930s, the 18th Standarte performed mustering drills of General-SS members and also participated in Nazi functions and parades in and around Königsberg. During this time period, the Standarte was given the honorary regimental title of "Ostpreußen". Hans-Adolf Prützmann, who later became involved in the Holocaust while serving as an SS and Police Leader in Latvia, was an early commander of the Standarate. In 1939, with the outbreak of World War II, the 18th Standarte began losing most of its membership to either the general draft or to transfer into the Waffen-SS. By 1943, the regiment had ceased to exist except on paper, yet had a posted commander until the collapse of Nazi Germany in May 1945.

# Atholl Highlanders

The **Atholl Highlanders** is a Scottish private infantry regiment. A ceremonial unit, it acts as the personal bodyguard to the Duke of Atholl, chieftain of the Clan Murray, a family that has lived in Perthshire for roughly seven centuries. Although it has no official military role, this hand-picked body of local men are armed with Lee–Metford rifles, and the regiment includes a pipe band. Joining the Highlanders is by invitation-only from the Duke, who specially selects men with ties to the estate or the local area. The regiment is not part of the British Armed Forces but under the command of the Duke of Atholl, and based at Blair Castle, Blair Atholl.

## History

### First raising as a regular regiment in the British Army

The regiment was raised in Perthshire by John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl as the **77th Regiment of Foot (or Atholl Highlanders, or Murray's Highlanders)** in December 1777. The regiment was formed as a relief for other regiments serving in North America, and spent most of its existence in Ireland. The terms upon which the regiment was raised stated that the men were to be employed for either three years or the duration of the war in America. In 1781, the original three-year term ended, and the men expected the regiment to be disbanded. However, the regiment was transported to England and marched to Portsmouth to be embarked for service in India. Upon learning of this, the men mutinied, and the embarkation orders were countermanded. The regiment was marched to Berwick, where it disbanded in 1783.

### Second raising as a private regiment of the Duke of Atholl

More than 50 years later, in 1839, George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl, as Lord Glenlyon, re-formed the regiment as a bodyguard which he took to the Eglinton Tournament at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire. Three years later, in 1842, the regiment escorted Queen Victoria during her tour of Perthshire and, in 1844, when the Queen stayed as a guest of the Duke at Blair Castle, the regiment mounted the guard for the entire duration of her stay. In recognition of the service that the regiment provided during her two visits, the Queen announced that she would present the Atholl Highlanders with colours, thus giving the regiment official Scottish regiment status, in perpetuity. The regiment's first stand of colours was presented by Lady Glenlyon in 1845. It received new colours in 1979 from Myra Butter, the wife of the Lord Lieutenant of Perth and Kinross. A third stand of colours was presented in 2006 by the Duchess of Atholl.

Under John Stewart-Murray, 7th Duke, the regiment regularly provided guards for royal visitors to Blair Castle (which was a convenient stopping point on the journey to Balmoral). The regiment also attended the Braemar Gathering, while the annual Atholl Gathering was held in the first week in September in which the regiment paraded, then participated in various trials of strength and stamina. Following the First World War, parades of the regiment became fewer, although it did provide guards when the Crown Prince of Japan and King Faisal of Iraq visited Blair Castle in 1921 and 1933 respectively.

After many years of inactivity the regiment remained in abeyance until in 1966, when it was reformed by Iain Murray, 10th Duke of Atholl. The 10th Duke made the decision to revive the regiment’s annual parade. To this effect eight local men mostly estate employees and all with previous military service training were invited to join, seven accepted. They paraded on 8 April 1966 at Blair Castle for the first time in 33 years. They marched past the Duke led by two Atholl Highlander pipers. In 1973 the regiment returned to the Braemar Gathering and took part in a march past in front of the Queen and other members of the royal family. The Atholl Gathering was re-introduced at Target Park in June 1984.

It was feared that the regiment would be disbanded following the 10th Duke's death in 1996, until his successor, John Murray, 11th Duke of Atholl, wrote to the estate trustees insisting that he would continue his traditional role. The 11th Duke, although resident in South Africa, visited Blair Atholl almost every year to inspect the regiment's annual parade until his death. The 12th Duke continues this tradition.

The Atholl Highlanders continue with the current Duke of Atholl, as their Colonel-in-Chief.

# Fernie Flaman

**Ferdinand Charles Carl** "**Fernie**" **Flaman** (January 25, 1927 – June 22, 2012) was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played for the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League. He was known as a physical defensive defenceman and a consummate bodychecker. As a coach, Flaman was successful at the collegiate ranks as the head coach of Northeastern University.

## Career

After being signed by the Bruins in 1943 and playing three seasons for the minor-league Boston Olympics (during which time he was named to the Eastern Hockey League's First All-Star Team in 1945 and 1946), Flaman made the big club for good in the 1947 season. He played five seasons for Boston before being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, with whom he won a Stanley Cup the year he was dealt in 1951.

He played three more seasons for Toronto before being dealt back to the Bruins in 1954 (in which he led the league in penalty minutes with 150), for whom he played seven more seasons. Those were his peak years, as he was named Bruins' captain in 1955 (and served as such for the rest of his NHL career), was named to three NHL Second All-Star Teams (1955, 1957 and 1958), and played in five All-Star Games.

In 1961, Flaman was named the player-coach-general manager of the AHL Providence Reds, retiring as an active player after the 1963–1964 season. He coached Providence for one more year after that, coaching teams in the Western Hockey League and the Central Hockey League thereafter.

# 1938 Walsall by-election

The **1938 Walsall by-election** was a parliamentary by-election held for the British House of Commons constituency of Walsall on 16 November 1938. The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting Liberal National Member of Parliament, Joseph Leckie. The election was won by George Schuster, a fellow Liberal National.

## Candidates

### Liberal National

The Liberal Nationals selected Sir George Schuster. Schuster was something of a renaissance man. He had qualified as a barrister and had already had successful careers in business, colonial government, and economics. He came from a wealthy family with banking and cotton interests. As a representative of the National Government Schuster was not opposed by the Conservatives, although they were apparently disappointed the Liberal Nationals exercised their right to find their own successor to Leckie and did not cede the National nomination to the local Conservatives. Schuster later went on to spend 22 years on Oxfordshire County Council and achieve success in the field of further education as Chairman of the Board of Governors of Atlantic College from 1963-1973. He died in 1982 aged 101 years.

### Labour

Schuster was therefore opposed only by the Labour Party candidate, George Jeger, a journalist from London and a local councillor in Shoreditch, of which he was mayor in 1938. Jeger had been Labour candidate in Bethnal Green South West at the 1935 general election. He went on to represent Winchester (1945–1950) and Goole (1950–1971) in Parliament.

## Issues

As the National candidate, Schuster sought to defend the record of the National Government and in particular the foreign policy associated with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. The great issue of the day was the worsening of international relations with the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany, Benito Mussolini in Italy and Japanese expansionism in the Far East. Chamberlain’s policy of appeasing these dissatisfied powers, in the immediate glow of what was thought to be Chamberlain’s success in getting the Munich Agreement signed at the end of September, was the one that Schuster, and those in the government supporting him, chose to emphasise. He also attacked the Labour Party for its support of economic planning and state regulation at the expense of small business and local enterprise and for its allegation that the government planned further cuts in social welfare provision. However, the main issue was for the electors of Walsall to show their approval or rejection of the Munich Agreement.

For Labour, George Jeger attacked the government’s record on international and domestic policy. He was reported in the local press as saying that the National Government was not firm enough in its stand for peace and had failed the League of Nations but he also criticised the government’s re-armament policy as taking funds away from essential social services. Jeger attacked Chamberlain’s efforts at Munich saying that forcing Czechoslovakia to hand over the Sudetenland merely encouraged further aggression by Hitler and sacrificed a democratic country in the face of Nazi blackmail. The Times headline over its by-election coverage of 14 November summed it up –‘Walsall Contest – Foreign Policy the Main Issue'.

## The votes and result

The National Liberal Party held the seat.

# Erkay

**Erkay** (Arabic إركي, also known as **Irkey**, **Erki**) is a small town located in the South of Lebanon (Al Janub) 11 kilometres southeast of Sidon. It has a population of approximately 5000 people.

## Geography

Erkay is situated in the Al-Janub (Southern) governorate, southeast from the capital, Beirut, and borders two small towns, ‘Izzah in the east and Khzaz in the west. It is only 36 miles (78 km) from Beirut and only 9 miles (15 km) from Sidon, one of the main ports in Lebanon. The town is situated on the Jabal ‘Aamel mountain range which begins from Sidon and stretches throughout the South, making the town’s average altitude 1243 feet (378m) above sea-level. The low population of 4850 people and the vast area of the town resulted in a small population density and hence many houses are scattered at different altitudes within the town region.

## Agriculture

Erkay is well for producing olive oil due to the fertile soil which also helps to grow figs as well as grapes and general produce. The major river in the South, Al Zahrani, flows next to Irkay.

## Climate

Irkay is known to have a moderate Mediterranean climate with four distinct seasons. Temperatures range from 8 °C (46 °F) in the winter to 35 °C (95 °F) in the summer. The humidity is usually high in the summer and low in the winter. Snow occurs nearly once every couple of years.

## History

In the North of the town, at the cliff of the mountain, lie many mysterious caves which have been deserted for hundreds of years. It is believed that deep within the caves are ancient artifacts, like pottery and old ruins dating back to the Romans and the Phoenicians. No-one has ever explored these caves because of their remote location; however the ruins are believed to exist, because over 7000 years ago ancient civilizations inhabited the Levant area (including Lebanon) so that discovery wouldn’t be a surprise. About ten years ago, people from the town were doing excavation work to build a house, when they found a cave, with two old jars inside.

When Erkay was first emerging over 50 years ago, there were severe tensions between the three major families Nasser, Makki and Chakroun. Occasional brawls leading to injuries would take place. At some point of time the Lebanese army interfered to cool down the tensions. The reasons for clashes among Irkey residents to occur were land problems, multi-political beliefs and possibly due to jealousy caused between families. The people in Irkay survived a major starving episode during the first world war. Food was limited, where nearly 20% of the population died from hunger. People started planting their own food in order to survive. The episode was caused by a locust infestation which flooded the entire country. Food became contaminated therefore many caught diseases during that period of time. It was the worst Irkay has ever experienced.

Erkay has also survived through many wars and battles such as the Civil War in 1975 and the Israeli invasion in 1978 and 1982. Both wars lasted until the end of the 20th century. During that time Irkay was occupied by Israeli soldiers, when Israel was in control of the South, and also Irkay was home to many Lebanese militias during the Civil War. In recent history, in July 2006, when the July War began, Irkay was nearly hit by 4 bombs dropped down by Israeli fighter jets and 2 of which landed on ‘Izzah, nearly 1.5 miles (2 km) away from Irkay. The explosion was definitely felt by the residents in Irkay but no harm was done.

Recently the mayor proposed raising taxes in order to pay for the maintenance of the roads and the creation of more social activities. In the end the government decided to fund all of this as gratitude for the people.

## Religion

Erkay residents are mostly Muslims. Athan is raised 5 times a day in the mosque (Al-Masjed) as a calling for all residents to pray. Every Tuesday (El-Tawasull) and Thursday (Kumaill) duaa' is played aloud for residents across the village to participate in such holy prayer. Friday, is remarkable as it combines both the elderly and youngsters together in such a holy prayer called Salat Al-Jumaa'.

Religious practices and the socio-political factors have changed over time with an affirmation of extreme religious presence and cultural practices and difference. Which doesn't identify Erkay many inhabitants, that have whether fled to build their lives elsewhere or been marginalized.

## Culture

The people in Erkay are known for their continuous cultural activities. Some of these activities include, going down to the river every 3rd week in August and have a picnic where all the residents sing and dance the traditional Lebanese dabke, after enjoying a feast finishing off the traditional Lebanese folklore. Dabke was practiced as well in the main Saha of Erkay before changing its functionality from circular stair like structure, close to the Roman amphitheater, and plenty of Quina trees to a boring roundabout and a tree. Inhabitants used to not only meet for dabke each weekend but used the Saha as a social place and connectivity. The Saha long time ago was used as well as a meeting place for mothers and women to do the laundry. Erkay has its own mayor, elected by the public every four years. His job is to oversee the government projects such as, maintenance, schools, and clinics, he also communicates with the government, on behalf of the people, to tell them about their concerns and needs. Furthermore, there is a reward given by Irkay to the students, in each grade, who achieve the highest marks at the end of each year.

Traditionally all the houses are built from red bricks and white stone. They also each have a garden where many residents grow their own vegetables and fruits. Traditionally houses were made out of stone and hay-mud mixture following the traditional Lebanese houses that contain the Dar, with a small welcoming terrace for visitors. With the advancement and change of socio-political factors, some of the houses that have a design or aesthetic approach not relatable to the Lebanese culture started to appear. Architect clients wanted to copy paste some of the designs found on Google without really thinking the cultural side. Some families are still preserving the cultural side. Documentation on this matter might be enriching.

The cultural aspect of Erkay has changed over time with flagrant presence of political signs and symbols of Hizbollah and Amal, and the activities that used to be practiced such as dabke changed into Muslim events and mainly practices of grief the dead and similar extreme religious events. The general spirit has transformed which position some of the inhabitants as marginalized, and in constant tension. This has created a clear social segmentation and transformation for the inhabitants by muting independent individuals that doesn't adhere to any of the political parties that exist. With an infiltration of extreme religious bias sometimes dangerous which mutes freedom of opinion and existence of others. Which pushed some to flee the area, or fight their way of what resembles them.

Aside this, inhabitants practice hunting in the area, where they hunt birds and wild pigs to sell them for Christians in the surrounding.

## Sports

The people of Erkay enjoy many sports, such as soccer, basketball and volleyball. Every August a soccer tournament is arranged where teams from different villages are invited to participate. Sometimes even players from the Lebanese National team are invited to attend this tournament. The winning team is awarded a trophy and a cash prize. This tournament is a major source of entertainment to the residents of the South.

During this season, the American Soccer League introduced two short-lived several rule changes:

* The league introduced goal judges similar to those used in ice hockey.
* A "penalty box" was also introduced, where players were required to serve penalty time standing behind their team’s goal line.

## League standings

* The percentage is the percentage of points won of points available, not a win-loss percentage.

The resort has 10 lifts servicing 142 named runs, 5 alpine bowls, and tree skiing with a vertical drop of 1,082 meters (3,550 ft). The resort has over 10.1 square kilometres (2,500 acres) of skiable terrain. The average annual snowfall is 875 centimetres (28.71 ft).

Fernie Alpine Resort is owned by the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, which also owns ski areas Kimberley Alpine Resort, Kicking Horse Resort, Nakiska, Mont Sainte-Anne, and Stoneham.

## History

Fernie Alpine Resort was originally called **"Fernie Snow Valley"** before being sold in 1997 to RCR (Resort of the Canadian Rockies). RCR saw some financial trouble under its owner, Charlie Locke, and after a period in bankruptcy protection, was bailed out by Alberta billionaire N. Murray Edwards.

During spring 2009, Fernie Alpine Resort was transformed into the fictional Kodiak Valley ski resort, ca. 1986, for exterior location shots of the Hollywood film *Hot Tub Time Machine*. The film was released in March 2010.

# 2010 term per curiam opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States

The Supreme Court of the United States handed down ten *per curiam* opinions during its 2010 term, which began October 4, 2010 and concluded October 1, 2011.

Because *per curiam* decisions are issued from the Court as an institution, these opinions all lack the attribution of authorship or joining votes to specific justices. All justices on the Court at the time the decision was handed down are assumed to have participated and concurred unless otherwise noted.

## Court membership

Chief Justice: John Roberts

Associate Justices: Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan

## *Wilson v. Corcoran*

**562 U.S. 1**
**Decided November 8, 2010.**
Seventh Circuit vacated and remanded.

In 1997, a jury found Joseph Corcoran guilty of murdering four men and he was sentenced to death. The trial court included three factors in its justification of the sentence: the innocence of those killed, the heinousness of the crime, and his potential to commit these crimes in the future. The Indiana Supreme Court vacated this sentence on the basis that these three factors are not admissible in a sentencing decision under Indiana law. In response, the trial court stated that it did not rely on these factors in its sentence, whereupon the Indiana Supreme Court finally affirmed the sentence.

Corcoran filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in federal court, which the District Court granted based on one of his claims without discussing the others. The Seventh Circuit reversed and directed the District Court upon remand to deny the writ, without permitting it to review the other claims and without explaining why those claims should not be considered. The Supreme Court vacated that decision in *Corcoran v. Levenhagen*, 558 U.S. 1 (2009), explaining that it was error for the Seventh Circuit to dispose of the petitioner's other claims without any explanation. On remand, the Seventh Circuit now granted habeas relief to Corcoran, indicating that the state courts should reconsider its sentence in order to comply with state law.

The Supreme Court vacated the Seventh Circuit's ruling. The Court ruled that Federal courts may only grant a writ of habeas corpus if a violation of federal law is found. Federal courts may not grant habeas relief if, instead, the only issue raised is a potential violation of state law.

**562 U.S. 42**
**Decided January 10, 2011.**
Second Circuit vacated and remanded.

The case involved the issue of whether tribal sovereign immunity protected the Oneida Indian Nation against foreclosure by local taxing authorities to enforce due property taxes. After the Supreme Court granted certiorari, the tribe passed a tribal declaration and ordinance waiving its immunity against tax enforcement. The Supreme Court then vacated and remanded for the Second Circuit to consider the effect of this new development.

**562 U.S. 594**
**Decided March 21, 2011.**
Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded.

A California jury convicted Steven Frank Jackson of numerous sexual offenses. Jackson raised a *Batson* claim, because two of three black prospective jurors had been struck. The prosecutor's race-neutral explanations for the exclusion were accepted by the California Court of Appeal, and the California Supreme Court denied Jackson's petition for review.

Jackson sought federal habeas relief. The Federal District Court found that the state courts' decisions were not unreasonable and denied Jackson's petition, but was reversed by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in a three-paragraph memorandum opinion, without discussing any facts or reasoning of the three courts that had rejected Jackson's claim.

The Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit Court's decision, noting that "On federal habeas review, AEDPA 'imposes a highly deferential standard for evaluating state-court rulings' and 'demands that state-court decisions be given the benefit of the doubt.'" Moreover, "The state appellate court’s decision was plainly not unreasonable. There was simply no basis for the Ninth Circuit to reach the opposite conclusion, particularly in such a dismissive manner."

**564 U.S. 932**
**Decided June 27, 2011.**
Ninth Circuit vacated and remanded.

The Court vacated the Ninth Circuit's judgment, because the case had become moot and the lower court, therefore, lacked constitutional authority under Article III to decide the case on the merits.

Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor noted without separate opinion that they would remand the case to the Ninth Circuit for that court’s consideration of mootness in the first instance. Kagan did not participate in the consideration or decision of the case.

Applications for stay of execution and petition for a writ of habeas corpus denied.

The Court denied applications for a stay of execution of Humberto Leal Garcia, a Mexican national who argued that his conviction and death sentence in Texas violated the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

Breyer filed a dissent, joined by Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan.

Leal Garcia was executed on July 7, 2011 as scheduled.

# Ellen Frank Illumination Arts Foundation

**Ellen Frank Illumination Arts Foundation** is a non-profit organization with the stated goal of enabling the revitalization of the art of illumination.

## Overview

The organization aims to enhance understanding of the art and history of illumination among artists and the public, as well as enabling the creation of new work in this historic genre. This involves utilizing a renaissance style Atelier to produce its labor-intensive art works. Under the tutelage of artist Ellen Frank, the Atelier brings together students, artists, scholars, curators, and librarians from all over the world to work on its multi-cultural projects.

## History

### Inspiration

Ellen Frank, an accomplished professor of literature and visual art, was inspired to transform her career from one concerned largely with theory to one engaged fully in praxis after seeing an exhibit by Joseph Beuys which left a marked impression. This transformation saw Frank rediscover the almost entirely unpracticed art of illumination. The ancient art of illumination, which explicitly explores the nexus between the written word and the artistically rendered image, made an ideal artistic home for Frank given her passion for both the visual arts and the written word.

### Beginnings

Ellen Frank created her first large illumination project with the help of a paid assistant in 2000. This was a piece for original illuminated Hanukkah Illuminated: A Book of Days, which Frank created in collaboration with acclaimed scholar Everett Fox. Studied in Renaissance art, the thought of creating a modern-day collaborative in the style of a Renaissance Atelier came naturally. A prototype of the current Atelier received a founding grant from the New York State Council on the Arts in 2000, prior to the legal formation of EFIAF.

The Atelier held outreach demonstrations within the Long Island East End communities of New York and trained interns ranging in age from 18 to 65 years over a three-month period. The interns helped to produce two carpet pages—decorated illuminated pages without text, using elaborate designs evoking Eastern carpets—for the manuscript Hanukkah Illuminated: A Book of Days. The success of the collaborative work and the interns’ enthusiasm encouraged the formation of EFIAF to provide support for a more permanent and substantial illumination arts program.

The current Atelier has been functioning under EFIAF since May, 2005 as a 501 (C) (3) non-profit public benefit organization. The same year, the first group of summer interns from Carnegie Mellon University arrived. Since then, more than 17 resident interns, and a number of “day” interns from the community have assisted in the creation of six large, illuminated paintings in the series Cities of Peace for a debut exhibition at the Laurie M. Tisch Gallery of JCC Manhattan. Work on the research, design and execution of each provided a complex introduction to the techniques of illuminated painting as well as a distinctive historic and artistic learning experience.

## Present

In the 2000s, the foundation completed a project called Cities of Peace that appeared in New York City at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The foundation is also currently working with the National Association of Women and Arts, and the United Nations. The Atelier continues its work with guest and intern artists from around the world. The foundation holds exhibitions and presents workshops, lectures, symposia and seminars on the art of illumination, the Atelier project and on art as a tool for global understanding.

## Chess news in brief

* Bobby Fischer defeats Boris Spassky in Reykjavík, to become the eleventh World Chess Champion. There are serious doubts as to whether Fischer will even turn up. His resolve remains in question throughout the early part of the match, amidst a barrage of disputes and demands. He plays badly in the first game and loses. The prospects look bleak when he fails to appear for the second game and is defaulted. From the third game onwards however, he quickly settles to his best form and outplays the defending champion, scoring seven wins, one loss and eleven draws. Officiated by Lothar Schmid, the match is pronounced a victory for the challenger, by a score of 12½–8½. Headline writers across the world follow the unfolding drama with great interest, sensationally describing the confrontation as "The Match of the Century", "East against West", "The introvert versus the extrovert". At the very least, the encounter ends twenty-five years of Soviet supremacy. Predictably, Fischer has his own, more extravagant claim—"It will probably be the greatest sports event in history. Bigger even than the Frazier-Ali fight". After the match, Fischer gains instant celebrity status and even appears on the Bob Hope Show. Subsequently, the popularity of chess reaches new heights in the western world and sales of chess sets rise to record levels.
* The Chess Olympiad at Skopje ends in victory for the USSR, scoring 42/60, with Hungary (40½/60) taking silver and Yugoslavia (38/60), the bronze team medals. Outstanding performances on board one come from Robert Hübner (gold), Vlastimil Hort (silver) and Walter Browne (bronze). A total of 444 players take part, representing 63 countries, although Albania withdraw after 10 rounds. For the first time, the Olympiad stages both Men's and Women's events concurrently at the same venue, although there is considerable disparity between the size of the two events—the Men's comprises teams of four bolstered by two reserves while the Women's can only support teams of two, with one reserve. The outcome of the Women's event once again favours the USSR (11½/14), ahead of Romania and Hungary (both 8/14).
* San Antonio hosts the Church's fried chicken tournament (named after its sponsor) at the Hotel Hilton Palacio del Rio. Newly crowned world champion Fischer and deposed champion Spassky are invited, but decline entry. Fischer confirms that the playing conditions meet with his approval, but he is less complimentary about the prize fund. The list of entrants is nevertheless world-class and proceedings result in a three-way tie between Tigran Petrosian, Lajos Portisch and Anatoly Karpov.(all 10½/15).
* Mikhail Tal recovers well from his poor health to dominate the Soviet Chess Championship with 15/21, ahead of Vladimir Tukmakov (13/21). He is also a winner at Sukhumi (11/15), ahead of Vladimir Savon (10½/15) and Mark Taimanov (10/15), but narrowly loses out (10½/13) to promising newcomer Mark Dvoretsky (11/13) at Viljandi.
* The IBM international chess tournament, held in Amsterdam is won by Lev Polugaevsky on 12/15, ahead of Viktor Korchnoi (11/15) and Wolfgang Uhlmann (9½/15). It is however fourth placed László Szabó who catches the eye of the chess writers, producing some fine, tactical games.
* Polugaevsky also wins at Kislovodsk (11/14), ahead of Leonid Stein (10/14) and Efim Geller (9/14).
* Top prize at Palma de Mallorca is shared three ways, between Oscar Panno, Jan Smejkal and Viktor Korchnoi (all 10/15).
* Bent Larsen is the victor at Teesside with 11/15, ahead of Ljubomir Ljubojević (10/15) and Lajos Portisch (9½/15).
