Chicago, Illinois criminal defense lawyer represented defendant charged with a
possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.
Harris was charged in 2016 with possessing with intent to
distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.
See 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (2010). Because of his prior drug convictions, Harris faced significant sentencing exposure. At the
time, the statutory minimum sentence for this crime was 10
years. Id. § 841(b)(1)(A)(viii) (2010). But under that statute, the
government could enhance the potential sentence by arguing
that two of Harris's prior convictions were felony drug offenses: an Indiana conviction in 2006 for dealing cocaine,
see IND. CODE § 35-48-4-1(a) (2006), and an Indiana conviction
in 2001 for possessing cocaine, see id. § 35-48-4-6(a) (2001). At
that time, one prior "felony drug offense" increased the mandatory minimum sentence to 20 years, while two required a
life sentence. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A)(viii) (2010).
To avoid a life sentence, Harris reached an agreement under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(c)(1)(C) with the
No. 19-3363 3
government to plead guilty and accept a sentence of 20 years'
imprisonment. Pursuant to that deal, the government filed a
notice under 21 U.S.C. § 851 listing only one predicate offense,
the 2006 Indiana conviction for dealing cocaine. At a joint
change-of-plea and sentencing hearing in October 2017, the
district court confirmed that "the basis" for Harris's plea was
his (and his counsel's) understanding that he was avoiding a
mandatory life sentence due to the government's agreement
not to introduce his 2001 Indiana cocaine possession conviction. The court also confirmed that Harris knew he was waiving his right to challenge his conviction and sentence, except
as to ineffective assistance of counsel.
Harris did not appeal. Instead, acting pro se, he timely
moved to vacate his sentence pursuant to § 2255. Harris asserted his counsel had been ineffective "during plea bargaining for the failure to challenge the § 851 enhancement towards
the prior dealing in cocaine case." In his petition, Harris attempted to explain:
Thomas Brodnick represented me during plea
negotiations. My prior 2006 conviction for dealing in cocaine or narcotic was used to enhance
my sentence under the statute from 10-years to
20-years minimum. This conviction was from
when I was set up to bring someone some drugs
when in fact, I was set up to be robbed. I had to
fight for my life were [sic] I could have died if I
did not defend myself. The State Statute 35-48-
4-1 was used under Indiana state laws and the
case was converted to have me plead guilty to
dealing in cocaine or narcotic and the possession cocaine of [sic] narcotic and dealing in
4 No. 19-3363
cocaine or narcotic was dismissed by the State
for my plea of guilty.
The government read this submission as an argument that
Harris's counsel should have challenged the sufficiency of the
evidence supporting the 2006 conviction. In reply, Harris
reiterated his initial statements and asserted that his 2006 conviction "is not permissible to be used because of its unconstitutional nature in light of Descamps v. United States, 570 U.S.
254 (2013)."
The district court denied Harris's § 2255 motion. To that
court, Harris had raised two theories of ineffective assistance:
that his counsel should have (1) challenged the sufficiency of
the evidence underlying his prior state conviction, and (2)
argued that conviction did not qualify as a predicate offense
after Descamps. The first theory failed because a defendant
cannot collaterally attack a state conviction during federal
sentencing unless it was obtained in a proceeding where the
defendant was denied his right to counsel, which Harris did
not allege. See Custis v. United States, 511 U.S. 485, 496–97
(1994). On the second theory, the district court decided that a
Descamps-based argument would have failed at sentencing
because Harris's 2006 Indiana conviction for dealing cocaine
fell within the definition of a "felony drug offense." That conviction was based "on conduct relating to narcotic drugs" and
was punishable by a minimum of six years in prison.
Soon after judgment, two legal developments clarified
whether Harris's prior convictions fit the definition of a "felony drug offense." First, in United States v. De La Torre,
940 F.3d 938, 952 (7th Cir. 2019), this court held that a different
Indiana drug crime was not a "felony drug offense" because
the state's definition of the controlled substance involved—
including, among other terms, its definition of an "isomer"—
applied more broadly than federal law. Less than a year later,
this court decided in United States v. Ruth, 966 F.3d 642, 647,
650 (7th Cir. 2020), that an Illinois conviction for possession
with intent to deliver cocaine was not a "felony drug offense"
because Illinois's definition of cocaine—like Indiana's—included optical, positional, and geometric isomers, and therefore was broader than federal law.
Harris requested a certificate of appealability, which this
court granted, as to whether his counsel was ineffective for
failing to argue that his prior conviction did not qualify as a
predicate "felony drug offense" because IND. CODE §§ 35-48-
1-7 and 35-48-2-8(b) (2006) defined cocaine more broadly than
the federal code, 21 U.S.C. §§ 802(17)(C)(D). The parties were
also asked to address whether Harris waived this theory of
ineffectiveness by insufficiently developing it in the district
Section 2255 provides relief for a federal prisoner if their
sentence "was imposed in violation of the Constitution or
laws of the United States, or [if] the court was without jurisdiction to impose such sentence, or [if] the sentence was in
excess of the maximum authorized by law." 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255(a). "Relief under § 2255 is available 'only in extraordinary situations, such as an error of constitutional or jurisdictional magnitude or where a fundamental defect has occurred
which results in a complete miscarriage of justice.'" United
States v. Coleman, 763 F.3d 706, 708 (7th Cir. 2014) (quoting
Blake v. United States, 723 F.3d 870, 878–79 (7th Cir. 2013)).
When considering the denial of a federal prisoner's § 2255
motion, we typically review the district court's legal conclusions de novo. Reyes v. United States, 998 F.3d 753, 757 (7th Cir.
2021). But in the district court, Harris did not properly present
the theory of ineffective assistance that he pursues before us.
His opening motion was barely comprehensible; at most, it
asserted that counsel was ineffective because he should have
challenged his 2006 conviction, but it provided no clear basis
for a challenge.
Harris did raise the Descamps-based argument in his reply
brief, however. He says his citation to Descamps—which requires that a state predicate offense fall within the federal definition—simply "clarified" the claim he raised initially in his
§ 2255 motion. But that did not preserve the issue for appeal.
A movant must present his specific theory of ineffectiveness
in the district court, see Rittenhouse v. Battles, 263 F.3d 689,
694–95 (7th Cir. 2001), with enough detail to allow the government to respond to it, see Wright v. United States, 139 F.3d
551, 553 (7th Cir. 1998). Harris's opening motion did not alert
the government that he wished his counsel had raised a categorical challenge to his 2006 conviction's predicate-offense
status. So, unsurprisingly, the government did not respond as
to whether Harris's prior conviction fit the federal definition
of a "felony drug offense."
Just so, the government is incorrect to argue that Harris
did not raise this issue in reply. Construing Harris's pro se
briefing liberally as we must, see McNeil v. United States,
508 U.S. 106, 113 (1993), the citation to Descamps sufficiently
raised the claim that counsel should have made a categorical
challenge. And a categorical challenge requires comparing
not just the elements of a statute but also "the provisions it
cross-referenc[es]." Brock-Miller v. United States, 887 F.3d 298,
310 (7th Cir. 2018). Here, that includes the drug definition.
Harris urges that any failure by him to preserve this issue
is a forfeiture, not waiver. "Forfeiture results from 'inadvertence, neglect, or oversight.'" Bourgeois v. Watson, 977 F.3d 620,
631 (7th Cir. 2020) (quoting Henry v. Hulett, 969 F.3d 769, 786
(7th Cir. 2020) (en banc)). Harris contends his failure in the
district court was inadvertent because there he proceeded pro
se. The government counters that the delay was strategic, citing cases that bar litigants from raising an argument for the
first time in a reply brief on appeal to prevent sandbagging.
Harris did not gain any advantage in this delay. The government asserts in its brief that it could have introduced additional evidence "to cast scientific doubt upon the veracity of
the isomer arguments." But the "isomer argument" is about
the plain language of two statutes and thus purely legal. See
Ruth, 966 F.3d at 648. Further, the government does not argue
that it can show the isomers at issue are "unquestionably nonexistent." Id. Thus, the government was not prejudiced by its
inability to develop a theoretical factual challenge in the district court and has now fully briefed the legal issue. So, Harris's conduct here constituted a forfeiture, not a waiver, of this
The next question is whether to forgive the forfeiture. In
earlier civil appeals, forfeited issues have been considered
where, as here, "failure to present a ground to the district
court has caused no one—not the district judge, not us, not
the appellee—any harm of which the law ought to take note."
Amcast Indus. Corp. v. Detrex Corp., 2 F.3d 746, 749 (7th Cir.
1993). More recently we clarified that, in the context of a collateral attack on a criminal sentence, a forfeited issue may be
reviewed for plain error "where a party can demonstrate that:
'(1) exceptional circumstances exist; (2) substantial rights are
affected; and (3) a miscarriage of justice will occur if plain error review is not applied.'" Bourgeois v. Watson, 977 F.3d 620,
629 (7th Cir. 2020) (quoting Thorncreek Apartments III, LLC v.
Mick, 886 F.3d 626, 636 (7th Cir. 2018)). In Bourgeois, only the
first element was assessed. Id. at 631–32. That decision explained that exceptional circumstances "include when a forfeited ground is 'founded on concerns broader than those of
the parties,'" such as comity, federalism interests, and the
conservation of judicial resources. Id. at 631 (quoting United
States v. Ford, 683 F.3d 761, 768 (7th Cir. 2012)). And we concluded that those considerations alone could compel us to
look past forfeiture. Id. at 631–32.
Similar considerations induce us to look past Harris's forfeiture. Despite his failure to raise the issue in his initial § 2255
motion, we are not acting as a court "of first view" in this matter. Arreola-Castillo v. United States, 889 F.3d 378, 383 (7th Cir.
2018). The district court did address this theory of ineffective
assistance on appeal, albeit imperfectly—the court cited to
our past cases denying categorical challenges to some elements of Indiana's dealing cocaine law without considering
whether a categorical challenge to the definition of an isomer
would succeed. Thus, "to dismiss the case on a procedural
ground at this juncture" risks "effectively discount[ing]" the
district court's generous efforts to make sense of Harris's pro
se filings. Id. at 384; see also Anderson v. United States, 981 F.3d
565, 572 (7th Cir. 2020).1
1 We considered whether the district court viewed Harris's reply brief
as an amendment to his petition, as in Perrone v. United States, 889 F.3d
898, 909 (7th Cir. 2018). There is some support for such a reading. The
This case also presents a rare circumstance. Two weeks after the district court rejected Harris's motion, this court ruled
in De La Torre that "the plain language chosen by the Indiana
legislature" for the definition of isomers, incorporated in the
state law definition of cocaine, "dictates that the Indiana
statute is categorically broader than the federal definition of
felony drug offense." 940 F.3d at 952. We do not blame the
district court for not monitoring our docket, and it was not
that court's duty to imagine every possible argument for Harris, even when liberally construing his pro se filings. At the
same time, had the district court held off on its decision, it
likely would have become aware of and addressed De La
Torre. Few if any other federal prisoners face the same dilemma as Harris. His motion to vacate his sentence was decided immediately before De La Torre, and he timely appealed
shortly thereafter. Therefore, this decision does not risk opening the floodgates to forfeited issues.
Accordingly, the standard of review here is stringent and
for plain error, as any error in the district court's conclusion
must be "clear or obvious." Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S.
129, 135 (2009). As a practical matter, though, our conclusion
here would be the same under de novo review. Harris has not
shown any constitutional error with counsel's performance,
let alone a "clear or obvious" one.
district court said, for instance, that Harris's reply brief "clarifies" his
claim of ineffective assistance. Although a district court may not accept
amendments to a § 2255 motion sub silentio, the similarities between this
case and Perrone further support our conclusion that review here is appropriate.
10 No. 19-3363
Under Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984),
collateral relief is not available unless "counsel's performance
was deficient" and "the deficient performance prejudiced the
defense." The parties agree here that if counsel should have
challenged Harris's predicate offenses, then Harris was prejudiced. See Missouri v. Frye, 566 U.S. 134, 147 (2012) (prejudice
occurs when there is a "reasonable probability" that "the end
result of the criminal process would have been … a sentence
of less prison time"). Without the 2001 and 2006 Indiana
crimes involving cocaine as predicate offenses, Harris's sentencing guidelines range would have been 121 to 151 months,
substantially shorter than his 240-month prison sentence. So,
we turn to whether counsel's performance was sufficient despite his failure to raise this challenge.
To show deficient performance, it is not enough to rely on
hindsight about whether a proposed challenge would have
succeeded. See Bridges v. United States, 991 F.3d 793, 802
(7th Cir. 2021). Rather, the reasonableness of counsel's performance must be assessed "in the context of the law" at the time.
Lilly v. Gilmore, 988 F.2d 783, 786 (7th Cir. 1993).
At the time of Harris's sentencing, his counsel should have
known about a possible categorical challenge to the predicate
offenses. "In some circumstances, defense counsel may be required to anticipate arguments foreshadowed but not yet
adopted by existing case law." Bridges, 991 F.3d at 803. By
2017, when Harris was negotiating his guilty plea, the categorical approach was well-established. See id. at 804 (citing
Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575 (1990)). One circuit court
had already applied the categorical approach to the federal
"felony drug offense" definition. See United States v. Ocampo-
No. 19-3363 11
Estrada, 873 F.3d 661, 667 (9th Cir. 2017). Further, this court
has stated repeatedly that comparing statutory definitions is
part of competent representation. See Bridges, 991 F.3d at 805;
Brock-Miller, 887 F.3d at 311 ("Reading statutes and discerning their plain meaning is neither convoluted nor sophisticated; it is what lawyers must do for their clients every day.").
The government argues that a categorical challenge to Indiana's definition of an isomer was somehow more complex
than a categorical challenge to any other term in the state
code, and thus too obscure for a competent lawyer to contemplate. That is not convincing, though. Even minimally competent attorneys know how to raise complex legal arguments.
See Bridges, 991 F.3d at 805 (citing cases). And the analysis
called for here was not complex; as the government admits,
counsel only had to compare the plain language of statutes.
Moreover, "[s]entencing advocacy, both during plea negotiations and before a district court, is in most cases the most important task of a federal criminal defender," requiring close
attention. Id. at 804. Finally, even though no cases had then
adopted the view on isomers that this court has since embraced in Ruth and De La Torre, at least one court had considered the issue before Harris's sentencing hearing. See United
States v. Jimenez-Ibarra, 695 Fed. App'x 767, 770–72 (5th Cir.
We do not know whether counsel was aware of a possible
categorical challenge to Indiana's definition of an isomer. But
remand for a factual hearing is not necessary because counsel's subjective assessment is not central to the legal analysis
here. Even if counsel's failure to challenge the predicate offenses had been "inadvertent," rather than strategic, "relief is
not automatic." Yarborough v. Gentry, 540 U.S. 1, 8 (2003).
Rather, "Strickland … calls for an inquiry into the objective
reasonableness of counsel's performance, not counsel's subjective state of mind." Harrington v. Richter, 562 U.S. 86, 110
(2011). And Strickland makes clear that even under this objective standard, "[j]udicial scrutiny of counsel's performance
must be highly deferential." 466 U.S. at 689.
We must assess counsel's performance by considering the
options available to the defense when Harris pleaded guilty
and was sentenced. The record shows that regardless of
whether counsel was aware of it, he had two choices. Counsel
could advise Harris to accept the government's plea offer to
drop one potential predicate offense, thereby significantly reducing Harris's sentencing exposure to a guarantee of 20
years (given a FED. R. CRIM. P. 11(c)(1)(C) binding agreement).
Or, counsel could advise Harris to challenge his predicate offenses. If the challenge was successful, Harris would not have
a mandatory minimum sentence. But if the challenge was unsuccessful, Harris would face a mandatory life sentence. And
if counsel raised the challenge, the government might have
withdrawn its plea offer.
Significantly, the challenge would have required counsel
to "ask[] the court to break new legal ground." Bridges,
991 F.3d at 808. At the time of sentencing, no case law held
that any state defined isomers more broadly than the federal
government. At that point, the only circuit court to compare
state to federal definitions of "isomers" rejected the argument
that the state's definition was too broad. See Jimenez-Ibarra,
695 Fed. App'x at 770–72. The next circuit-level case, and the
first to accept the isomer argument, was not decided until almost one year after Harris's sentencing. See Lorenzo v. Sessions,
902 F.3d 930, 935–56 (9th Cir. 2018), superseded on denial of
rehearing on other grounds as Lorenzo v. Whitaker, 752 Fed.
App'x 482 (9th Cir. 2019).
Harris presses that counsel should have at least consulted
with him about the option of a novel challenge to the predicate offenses. He correctly points out that, "[i]n the plea bargaining context," counsel must "make an estimate of a likely
sentence" and "communicate the results of that analysis before allowing his client to plead guilty." Gaylord v. United
States, 829 F.3d 500, 506 (7th Cir. 2016). In Gaylord, this court
determined that defense counsel may have been ineffective
because he failed to consult with the defendant about a potential challenge to a sentence enhancement, thus failing to provide him "with the information necessary for a knowing and
voluntary guilty plea." Id. at 507. But in Gaylord, the potential
challenge was based on established law. Counsel advised the
defendant to plead guilty in 2011, without mentioning a viable challenge to his sentence enhancement that had been established more than a year prior, in United States v. Hatfield,
591 F.3d 945, 948 (7th Cir. 2010). It would stretch Gaylord too
far to read it as requiring counsel to raise with their client
every potential sentencing challenge. Counsel are not required "to obtain the defendant's consent to 'every tactical decision,'" particularly those within an attorney's expertise.
Florida v. Nixon, 543 U.S. 175, 187 (2004) (quoting Taylor v. Illinois, 484 U.S. 400, 417–18 (1988)). And the "isomer" challenge
at issue here was too unprecedented to warrant discussion
In sum, the defense essentially had a bird in the hand—the
plea offer with a set 20-year sentence—with a possibility of
two in the bush—the novel challenge to the predicate offenses
with the risk of a mandatory life sentence. Faced with these
options, it was objectively reasonable for Harris's counsel to
pursue the plea deal. See Harris v. United States, 366 F.3d 593,
596 (7th Cir. 2004) (ruling counsel not deficient for declining
to press an unsettled legal question when doing so would
have detracted from defendant's efforts to obtain a lesser sentence).
Outcome: The district court did not plainly err in denying Harris's
§ 2255 petition, so that court's decision is AFFIRMED.

FBI director pushes back on debunked conspiracy theory about 2016 election interference

FBI director pushes back on debunked conspiracy theory about 2016 election interference originally appeared on abcnews.go.com
FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday undercut a theory pushed by President Donald Trump and some of his Republican allies that the government of Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election.
"We have no information that indicates that Ukraine interfered with the 2016 presidential election," Wray told ABC News in an exclusive broadcast interview on Monday.

Wray is the most senior, currently serving, government official to undercut the claim -- pushed as recently as Sunday by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in an interview about the ongoing impeachment inquiry.

"Here's the game the media is playing. Because Russia interfered, the media pretends nobody else did. Ukraine blatantly interfered in our election," Cruz said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"Well, look, there's all kinds of people saying all kinds of things out there. I think it's important for the American people to be thoughtful consumers of information, to think about the sources of it and to think about the support and predication for what they hear," he said. "And I think part of us being well protected against malign foreign influence is to build together an American public that's resilient, that has appropriate media literacy and that takes its information with a grain of salt."

In a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump requested he look into claims about "CrowdStrike," referencing a debunked conspiracy theory that claims Ukraine, not Russia, hacked into the Democratic National Committee's computer networks in 2016.
Asked about that theory, Wray didn't directly respond to the president's claim but underscored that the FBI has no evidence to support such a claim.

"As I said, we at the FBI have no information that would indicate that Ukraine tried to interfere in the 2016 presidential election," he said.
In addition, Wray said that he didn't speak with Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, about any investigation into the Bidens.
"I haven't had any conversations with Rudy Giuliani," Wray said.
Wray also cautioned that election interference is still a concern moving into 2020.
"Well, as far as the election itself goes, we think Russia represents the most significant threat to the election cycle itself," he said.
"But we certainly know that other nation states, China, Iran, others have an interest in influencing our democracy in other ways through different forms of engagement, different types of malign foreign influence. So we are trying to make sure that we're working hard with others to protect America against all those threats," Wray added.

Witness flirts with defense lawyer at city Councilman Larry Seabrook's corruption trial – NYPOST.com
Posted on November 25, 2011	by SquarePegDem
In case you missed this steamy tale from the corruption trial of CM Larry Seabrook as told by the NY Post, I reprinted it below. Earlier in the trial, the NY Post also made light of the accusation that Seabrook's NE Bronx Democratic Club reimbursed him for sex books he bought. This would be entertaining and funny, if the charges weren't so serious. Soon, we'll see who has the last laugh.
Witness down & flirty
By BRUCE GOLDING

Order in the court!
A witness shamelessly flirted with one of City Councilman Larry Seabrook's defense lawyers yesterday during a courtroom exchange that gave new meaning to the term "heated cross-examination."
The shocking back-and-forth came near the tail end of curvaceous Brandi Johnson's testimony against the Bronx Democrat, after lawyer Anthony Ricco told her, "This time, I really only have a few questions left."
"Take your time — I like it nice and slow, too," replied Johnson, who had overseen a Seabrook nonprofit group's compliance with a $350,000, city-funded contract to boost minority employment.
Ricco — who had previously chided Johnson for interrupting him, saying he was "old school" and wanted her answers one at a time — became visibly flustered, telling the judge, "One second."
The married father of two then turned around and began wiping his glasses while struggling to keep his composure.
Moments later, the tall, handsome Ricco turned back to the podium but kept his head down as co-counsel Edward Wilford handed over a paper cup of tea from which Ricco took a sip.
Several jurors smiled, with one woman covering her eyes in mock embarrassment.
After two final, quick questions, Ricco said, "Thank you very much for your testimony," and Johnson, clad in a form-fitting, black and white skirt suit, sashayed out of the courtroom.
During a subsequent break in the Manhattan federal court proceedings, both Wilford and Seabrook — who is charged with a corruption scheme involving council "slush" funds — appeared to tease Ricco about Johnson's playful performance.
Outside court, Ricco said his intent with Johnson was merely to make her "comfortable" enough to tell the truth, noting that "cross-examination is stylistic."
"Some people cross-examine a thug one way," he said.
"Some people cross-examine an uptown girl another way."

What Surrey WWI soldiers and regiments experienced during famous 1914 Christmas Day truce
Not all troops along the Western Front took part in the same way - and for some, the violence did not stop
Seren Hughes
British and German troops hold a temporary truce on Christmas Day, 1914
Sign up to FREE email alerts from SurreyLive - Surrey Advertiser
The Christmas truce of 1914 is one of the most enduring legends of World War I.
German and British soldiers, the story goes, temporarily stopped fighting to sing carols and hold an impromptu game of football in no-man's land.
The event has inspired everything from Sainsbury's adverts to Top 10 singles.
Today, more than 100 years later, the accuracy of this story is sometimes disputed.
But while this powerful event did take place in the first Christmas of WWI, it was different depending on the section of the front line.
On Christmas Eve, German troops really did sing carols and put small Christmas trees along their trenches.

The forgotten Surrey mansion that was once home to a king and played vital role in D-Day
The two sides did meet in no-man's land and share cigarettes, with some even kicking a football around, and there are photos which capture the moment.
However, the truce was impromptu and not all troops along the Western Front took part in the same way.
For many, including some Surrey regiments, it was simply a brief opportunity to bury their dead.
For others there was no truce at all, and fighting continued.

The 2nd Batallion of the Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment was stationed a few miles south of the Belgian border, in La Boutillerie.
In a deadly attack on December 18, they lost 97 men, many of whom lay scattered in front of enemy lines.
The following day, German soldiers allowed the 2nd Battalion to bury their dead and collect their wounded, according to Surrey Heritage.
Rival officers talked while the casualties were removed, and some Germans even helped bury the British.
The incident recreated by Sainsbury's in 2014
As the work was not finished, a further truce was agreed on Christmas Day, and again on Boxing Day due to frosty conditions.
When all was done, both sides returned to their trenches to fight.
Meanwhile, the 1st Battalion of the East Surrey Regiment had issued a Christmas invitation to the Germans to come to their trench to collect British newspapers.
General Headquarters (GHQ) found out and stopped the meeting occurring, accusing the 1st Battalion of fraternising with the enemy.
Nevertheless, a few words and a copy of the Times were exchanged.
After 1914, High Command on both sides prevented anything similar happening again, as it was seen undermine the cold hatred it was believed soldiers needed to survive trench warfare.
The 7th Battalion of the East Surrey Regiment turned down an offer from the Germans on Christmas Day, responding to their white flag with a pounding of artillery.
The 8th Battalion had the opposite happen, with hopes of a truce being met with consistent fire from the Germans.
Despite the best efforts of High Command, a few small truces did occur later in the war, but they mostly consisted of brief pauses in order to repair trenches and bury the dead, rather than the joyous celebrations many prefer to imagine.


Asimov's family emigrated to America when he was only 3 years old. A precocious child, he began writing stories when he was still a child. Educated at Seth Low Junior College and Columbia University, Asimov received his master's degree in chemistry in 1941. It was at this time that he began contributing short stories to science fiction magazines such as Astounding Science Fiction. His first story, Marooned off Vesta, was published in Amazing Stories in 1939. During World War II, Asimov worked at the U.S. Naval Air Experimental Station in Philadelphia before spending time in the U.S. Army in 1946. He returned to Columbia and took his PhD in chemistry in 1948. The following year he joined the faculty of Boston University School of Medicine as an associate professor of biochemistry. He left in 1958 to concentrate exclusively on his writing. From 1940 until his death, Asimov became the most influential and successful science-fiction writer of the 20th century. His Robot and Foundation series were phenomenally successful and his story Nightfall (1941), has been considered the greatest sci-fi story of all time. Asimov was a prolific writer, producing novels, short stories, essays and articles and a great deal of scientific, non-fictional works. In 1950, he founded Science Fiction Magazine and during his career was the recipient of many awards, including the prestigious Hugo award on many occasions. Asimov died from complications brought about by AIDS, which he had contracted during a blood transfusion in 1983. His many works include Strange Playfellow (1940), Foundation (1942), I, Robot (1950), Foundation and Empire (1952), Second Foundation (1953), The Caves of Steel (1954), The End of Eternity (1955), The Naked Sun (1957), Fantastic Voyage (1955), Through a Glass, Clearly (1967), Our World in Space (1974), In Memory Yet Green (1979), In Joy Still Felt (1980), Exploring the Earth and the Cosmos (1982), Foundation and Earth (1986) and Nemesis (1989).

Without any shadow of a doubt 2014 has been a year to savour for Toni Kroos, winning the World Cup this summer in Brazil and subsequently earning a move to Champions League winners Real Madrid.
Kroos has seen his stock increase dramatically since joining Real Madrid, with consistent displays of majestic passing of the highest order. Quality which has nullified the impact of losing such key loses as Xabi Alonso and Di Maria, who were the spine of the La Decima campaign. Xabi Alonso operated as the base of the midfield alongside Luka Modric, with the dynamic Di Maria just ahead of them. Which led to the question where was Toni Kroos going to fit?
Whilst at Bayern Munich, Toni Kroos usually operated in a more advanced position leading many to believe he was to replace Di Maria, who would offer greater accuracy but less speed and dynamism than the Argentine. However he has undertook the vacant position of Xabi Alonso who went the other way, (albeit in a separate transfer) where he has so far this season excelled in.
His calm demeanor enables him to efficiently distribute possession even under intense pressure from the opposition has been a feature of his game so far and has enabled Real Madrid to have more phases in possession with the aid of fellow midfield maestro Luka Modric. The two have forged a strong understanding in the centre of the park, masterminding control of their opponents with their intelligent play.
This was epitomised in the Clasico as Real Madrid dominated Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu, beating Barcelona style of play they have been synonymously for, registering a sort of control that we have not seen from Real Madrid in a Clasico for a long time.
This further reiterates the seamlessness in the transition from his former no8 position at Bayern Munich to the "10 yards back" no6 role at Real Madrid where he has taken the baton left by Xabi Alonso and ran with it so effortlessly. Nevertheless, Toni Kroos still maintains that he still possesses his attacking instinct, which leads to the question where is his best position, it at no6, no8 or no10?
It is difficult to see any flaws in Ancelotti's claims of having two complete midfielder's in his side, as the two have shown defensive qualities in addition to their vast array of attacking ones. It will be interesting to see how Real Madrid will cope after the loss of Luka Modric with injury over the course of the next few months and it will also be a loss to us spectators as it robs us of the opportunity of seeing how the Kroos/Modric burgeoning partnership will develop.
However as it remains Toni Kroos is a player on top of his game at the moment and quite probably the best centre midfielder in world at this time; 2014 keeps getting better and better for Kroos.
Kroos performace have reawaken real.

Sue Birchall
School funding reform: welcome relief or wishful thinking?
The government's promise of more investment in schools is welcome news to SBMs, but Sue Birchall thinks the proof is in the pudding.
Never one to turn my nose up at more money, imagine my delight at the secretary of state for education, Justine Greening's announcing that there will be even more investment in schools.
However, on reading the announcement it became clear that the investment is part of the £1.3 billion already pledged in July for the implementation of the national funding formula.
The new plans are designed to support the government's drive to address the teacher recruitment and retention crisis. To help graduates enter the profession, the government plans to increase the threshold for student loan repayments to £25,000, introduce bursaries with retention payments and launch a pilot scheme for student loan reimbursements. This is paired with an additional £30 million for schools that struggle most with recruitment and retention.
In addition, the government has set out plans to:
narrow the gap for our pupils with new English and maths hubs
raise standards in literacy and numeracy in the early years
improve alternative provision.
The icing on the cake is the investment in degree-based apprenticeships, designed to drive the government's apprenticeship initiative for the teaching profession. Already a contentious issue, but one for a future blog post!
Show us the money
I doubt that anyone in the education sector will be unhappy about the extra funding, but in these times of austerity, many will wonder where the money will come from. The government has hinted at savings in other areas, such as capital spending and some central school services. However, Greening's speech in July did not give any much-needed clarity.
Historically, schools have struggled with inadequate capital investment, buildings and assets falling into disrepair and even basic maintenance proving unaffordable. The National Audit Office published a report on capital funding earlier this year, which makes for interesting reading.
The report recommends that a further £6.7 billion investment is needed to bring school buildings up to an acceptable standard. It also highlights the need to balance the requirement for school places and the condition of current stock. With the government encouraging and building so many free schools in line with their election manifesto, this is an area that cannot afford any further reductions.
Of further concern is the fact that the funding has a caveat which declares that it is a one-off investment spanning two years, not an ongoing increase. Bearing in mind the latest announcement, I would question the long-term viability of the declared initiatives. We have endured budget cuts for a long period of time and have no additional capacity within our budgets.
Opposition parties and trade unions have lamented the fact that school funding is still reduced in real terms. As a SBM I wouldn't argue with this. Our time is largely spent managing efficiencies and cutting costs, so any extra income, for however short a time, would be welcome.
The trick will be to make sure that we have a business model that can maximise and sustain this investment. In the meantime, let's hope that it doesn't get hijacked by the government for short-lived incentive plans and unsustainable policies.
Clarity on funding plans
For further updates on the government's funding plans, and advice for strategic planning in an uncertain landscape, executive leaders in MATs can now register for our Achieving Efficiencies in Multi-Academy Trusts conference (14 March, London).

I'm looking at colleges A, B, and C. [Names changed to protect the innocent.] What college has the best astronomy program?
Some might say it doesn't matter where you get your undergraduate degree, as long as you do research as an undergraduate. When you're shopping for colleges, try to look for one that offers an astronomy major (not just a minor) and ask about undergraduate opportunities for research.
You can get into an astronomy graduate program if you have a degree in physics, or geology, or even other related hard-sciences careers, but if you know that you want to do astronomy, it makes the most sense to find a school that offers that major! (If you're interested in studying planetary geology or other specific sub-fields, though, your mileage may vary on this advice).

entirelyofpossibility	in Abot Tala, Self-Directed Education	 April 12, 2018 October 24, 2018 789 Words
An Invitation to Those Questioning the Education System
We're forming the Abot Tala team and reaching out to teachers, parents, students who may be questioning the education system and wishing there was an alternative for teenagers. We are reaching out to those who believe in the freedom to direct one's own educational path from what to learn and how to learn what one has chosen.
What Abot Tala offers:
A safe, dynamic, welcoming community of learners who believe that self-directed education is the most authentic and innovative way to support young people so that they thrive and become productive adults
A bridge and a way to help teenagers live and learn outside the traditional school system through mentorship and by utilizing the wealth of opportunities in the community
An educational experience that supports and encourages independence, resourcefulness, flexibility and collaboration in a non-coercive, dynamic environment where young people can create their own pathways based on their passions and interests
A space where young people feel free to be themselves, to know themselves deeply and what makes them come alive, to discover and develop their gifts and talents, to soar towards goals and dreams they set and cfor themselves
Young people who believe that school is doing more harm than good to them
Young people who want to get out of the school system but do not know where to start
Young people who are already homeschooling or unschooling but wish to be part of a community that meets regularly
We serve young people ages 13 – 19. We can consider younger or older members on a case-by-case basis.
What does membership in Abot Tala include?
Mentoring and coaching – each member will have an advisor. The advisors are full-time and part-time staff at Abot Tala. Through regular meetings, we help envision and realize goals, track progress, organize tutorials and facilitate community connections.
Access to all classes and workshops offered – the classes and workshops will be determined by the interest of the members and the expertise of the mentors, staff and volunteers of Abot Tala. All classes and workshops are optional and open to every member.
Family conferences – each member and his parents will meet with the advisor at least two times a semester (one semester is five months) to map out possibilities and review progress and achievements. More meetings are scheduled as requested. Parental involvement is encouraged.
Personalized approach – the focus is on individuals and their particular strengths, needs and goals. We meet teens where they are and support them in becoming whomever they want to be. Rather than focusing on weaknesses, we ask: "What are you good at? What do you love to do?" and build from there.
Collaborative learning – teens can teach each other; find common interests and have group tutorials; traditional schools emphasize competition while we emphasize collaboration
What about going to university in the future?
If the family wants to comply with Dep Ed requirements, we can assist them through our partner, the Gopala Homeschool Support
If the family does not want to go through Dep Ed, should the time come that the young person wants to attend university, then we can map out a plan together with the student on how to apply and get in the university.
What Abot Tala is Not
Abot Tala is not a school. We do not give certificates, grades or report cards.
We are not a homeschool provider although we can refer you to providers. We can help you with homeschooling requirements through Gopala, our homeschool support partner.
We are not a homeschool co-op. We do not organize families to become a homeschool co-op which homeschooling families can do on their own.
Full-time membership: 4 – 5 times a week
Part-time membership: 2 – 3 times a week
Membership Includes:
Advisory relationship with Abot Tala Core Staff Member

Hopkins Doc Beats COVID, Rejoins Front Lines
— Techniques from the pediatric ICU valuable in treating adult COVID patients
by Kristina Fiore, Director of Enterprise & Investigative Reporting, MedPage Today April 9, 2020
Sapna Kudchadkar, MD, PhD, a pediatric critical care physician and anesthesiologist at Johns Hopkins, initially thought the muscle aches might just have been the result of a long week on service.
Still, another physician on her team had recently tested positive for COVID-19, so when a low-grade fever set in, she asked for a test.
Within 24 hours, on Sunday, March 22, her results came back: she had coronavirus.
Over the next two weeks, Kudchadkar fought off a disease that she says was unlike any other she'd ever experienced.
"With the flu, you're down for the count but it's relatively short lived. You feel horrendous, but then you're fine in most cases. With COVID, the symptoms are extremely intermittent, and when they're present, they're debilitating," Kudchadkar told MedPage Today.
She's now done with her quarantine and recently re-joined her colleagues in their fight against COVID-19, and wanted to share her message with other coworkers: you can beat this, you can get back to work, and you'll contribute to important research efforts.
Crackling in the Lungs
"I fall in the spectrum of mild disease," Kudchadkar said. She experienced myalgia and low-grade fever starting on days 1 and 2, respectively.
By day 3, the cough started. First, it came every few hours, then it worsened. "By day 4, when I took a deep breath, it hurt, and could feel crackling in my lungs. If I'd had a chest x-ray, there would be findings. But when I was at rest, I was okay."
Her fever subsided by day 5, but that's when the anosmia set in. "I couldn't smell anything, and nothing tasted good, so I didn't have enough appetite."
The cough lasted for the next 5 days, and it was "significant, and deep breaths were hard. I would take deep breaths to keep my airways open."
During that time, Kudchadkar also had intermittent fatigue that sent her crashing. "You feel okay, then suddenly, you just want to sleep."
"I thought I was going to be so productive, that I would be able to sit and write papers, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything," she said.
That wasn't just a result of the fatigue: the isolation from loved ones also fed into her lack of inertia, she said.
"By day 10, I was in a pretty dark place," she said. "Having human touch and contact is so important to the psyche. I know this from my ICU research, but personal experience is so different."
"It was really hard on my kids," she said, noting that her 14-year-old-son is no longer much of a cuddler, but her 11-year-old daughter likes spending a lot of time with her mom. "Neither of us anticipated that emotional impact. It took her until day 12 to break down on Zoom, saying, 'Mommy, it's so hard not being with you.'"
She also worried about the rapid, severe worsening she'd read about in other patients, often happening around day 9 or 10.
Stopping the Spread
That was one of the reasons Kudchadkar decided to stay at home and isolate herself during her illness, rather than living somewhere else, away from her family.
"We thought through this deeply ... and decided that because of the potential for my own clinical condition to worsen that this wasn't the time for me to be by myself," she said. "I needed to have people around me who would be there to help."
She was able to isolate herself in her bedroom and have no contact with others. Her family would leave food at the door, but she'd only open it after they were long gone. She only saw her husband and kids on video chats, or watched them playing in the backyard from her window.
Kudchadkar believes their cautious, conservative approach is what prevented any of them from contracting the virus. She had been staying away from them as best she could even before she'd gotten sick. She would wear different clothes to work, change in the office, change before coming home, and shower as soon as she'd get home.
Even though she had seven family members living in her house while she worked that first week -- her brother, sister-in-law, and their 2-year-old child in addition to her own husband and kids -- no one else developed the disease.
On the day she started having symptoms, she began her 2-week isolation: "I came home and went straight to my bedroom, and didn't interact with family."
She added that she was lucky that Hopkins provided adequate access to personal protective equipment (PPE), and even despite that she believes she was infected by her co-workers because they often have to be close to each other to do procedures.
Ultimately, Kudchadkar escaped the symptomatic and psychological nadir of her illness, pulling through by day 12, when the fatigue had completely ebbed and she could even do yoga in the morning.
She didn't need much medication during her illness, she said, only Tylenol for the fever. At the time, there was some concern about ibuprofen, and while not proven, she opted for a conservative approach. She also took a multivitamin for its vitamin D content, as there'd been some evidence that deficiency was related to worse disease, in line with her lowest-risk approach.
She captured the moment on day 14 when she was finally able to emerge from her room and see her family in person again in a video posted on Twitter. She'd been posting updates under the hashtag #SapnasCOVIDDiary.
While she was mostly glad to be free, she also had some reservations. She wasn't able to test again to confirm a negative result, as tests were being reserved for identifying cases. "So I didn't know, am I okay to hug my kids now? For about 3 days after coming out of isolation, I still didn't hug or kiss them."
Now that she's potentially immune, she's also the designated grocery shopper, though she still wonders how concerned she should be about potentially exposing others.
"There are case reports that some people got infected a second time, and we still don't know enough about the immunity trajectory of this disease," she said.
That unknown is especially relevant now that she's re-joining the front lines, switching from pediatric to adult ICU.

"I have my own internal anxiety about taking care of a patient population that I haven't cared for in a while, but at the same time I'm so ready," she said. "I have a lot to offer because I'm potentially immune. I'll still use PPE, but I'll have a little less anxiety about my personal health."
She'll still leave her work clothes at work, and immediately shower when she returns home. She'll also wear a scrub cap and remove jewelry -- avoiding anything that the virus could potentially stick to.
Her pediatric ICU experience will be valuable for COVID patients, she says, because "we are used to managing low sats in the PICU," referring to the severe hypoxia that's a hallmark of the disease.
"In cyanotic heart disease, we see kids with pulse ox saturations in the 70s or 80s all the time, and we generally only intubate when we see increased work of breathing or poor perfusion," she said. "It can be alarming to see patients with sats in the 70s, just sitting there talking to you, looking fine, but we're used to that in PICU."
Prone positioning -- which is becoming important even for non-ventilated patients with COVID -- is also commonly deployed in the PICU.
Kudchadkar is also eager to get involved in research, though she usually plays the role of investigator, not study subject. She'll donate to a convalescent plasma multicenter trial for which Hopkins is one of the main sites, and will donate blood relatively soon for research on acute-phase antibodies.
Those contributions make her feel there was more of a purpose to her difficult weeks of isolation, when she felt she "wasn't contributing."
"But I realize how much I prevented," she said. "By doing my part to stay isolated at my home, and having my family stay at home, it encourages others to do the same. That's our job as medical professionals, to educate."
"Everyone across the world is struggling, hopefully with this once-in-a-lifetime event," she said. "It's a shared experience and we need to talk with each other to make sure we all understand the WHY -- that's it's for the greater good."

Safety. Many consumers are skeptical about the ingredients used in processed food. Natural and organic foods are often considered a reliably safer option because fewer chemicals are used in processing and preparation. The challenge is in understanding the nuances of organic manufacturing versus processing.

Q: Check if all checkboxes are selected How do I check if all checkboxes with class="abc" are selected?
I need to check it every time one of them is checked or unchecked. Do I do it on click or change?

A: $('.abc[checked!=true]').length == 0

A: Part 1 of your question:
var allChecked = true;
$("input.abc").each(function(index, element){
  if(!element.checked){
    allChecked = false;
    return false;
  }
});

EDIT:
The (above answer) is probably better.

A: A class independent solution
var checkBox = 'input[type="checkbox"]';
if ($(checkBox+':checked').length == $(checkBox).length) {
   //Do Something
}

A: I think the easiest way is checking for this condition:
$('.abc:checked').length == $('.abc').length

You could do it every time a new checkbox is checked:
$(".abc").change(function(){
    if ($('.abc:checked').length == $('.abc').length) {
       //do something
    }
});

A: You can use change()
$("input[type='checkbox'].abc").change(function(){
    var a = $("input[type='checkbox'].abc");
    if(a.length == a.filter(":checked").length){
        alert('all checked');
    }
});

All this will do is verify that the total number of .abc checkboxes matches the total number of .abc:checked.
Code example on jsfiddle.

A: $('input.abc').not(':checked').length > 0

A: The search criteria is one of these:
input[type=checkbox].MyClass:not(:checked)
input[type=checkbox].MyClass:checked

You probably want to connect to the change event.

A: Alternatively, you could have also used every():
// Cache DOM Lookup
var abc = $(".abc");

// On Click
abc.on("click",function(){

    // Check if all items in list are selected
    if(abc.toArray().every(areSelected)){
        //do something
    }

    function areSelected(element, index, array){
        return array[index].checked;
    }
});

A: This is how I achieved it in my code:
if($('.citiescheckbox:checked').length == $('.citiescheckbox').length){
    $('.citycontainer').hide();
}else{
    $('.citycontainer').show();
}

A: I used this code and it worked well for me.
if($('.abc:checked').length < 1) {
  alert('No checkbox is selected.');
  return false;
} else {
  alert($('.abc:checked').length+' checkboxes have been selected')
}

How feasible is the Paris Agreement's objective of limiting global warming to 1.5ºC? Why do businesses and investors need to consider 1.5ºC?
This policy brief outlines the role that long-term emissions targets play in setting government policy and guiding business strategies.
The past two years have seen significant shifts in corporate activity regarding climate change. For businesses, the entry into force of the Paris Agreement has perhaps been the key catalyst to contemplate a future policy environment consistent with its objective of limiting global warming to well below 2°C. Some companies are committing to and disclosing carbon targets informed by the Paris Agreement. Others have performed and published scenario analyses showing the impacts on the business from various climate policy futures. This report provides a status update of corporate responses to the 1.5-2°C objective. It also, identifies gaps and challenges, and their implications, and offers recommendations for driving strong responses and more meaningful disclosures. In sharing the experiences from those in the vanguard of climate risk response, we hope that others contemplating action may benefit from lessons learnt so far in this area of increasing importance.

Utah courts have the authority to make child custody orders where the parties are separated or where the marriage is dissolved. The court uses what is known as the 'best interests of the child' to determine the custody arrangement, among other factors. Some the additional factors include the past conduct of each of the parties, which parent will most likely act in the best interest of the child, including allowing the child frequent and continuing contact with the non-custodial parent, the bond between the child and each parent and any other consideration the court finds appropriate.
The statutes define two types of custody – Legal custody and Physical custody.
The court may award the sole, joint or split custody of the children.
It is a rebuttable presumption that joint legal custody is in the best interests of the child. Utah defines joint legal custody as the sharing of the rights, privileges, duties, and powers of a parent by both parents.
It is not a rebuttable presumption that Joint physical custody is in the best interest of the child. Joint physical custody means the child stays with each parent overnight for more than 30% of the year, and both parents contribute to the expenses of the child in addition to paying child support.
-Providing for the financial support of the child.
The objectives of a parenting plan are to provide for the child's physical care, maintain the child's emotional stability, provide for the changing needs of the child, set forth the authority and responsibility of each parent, minimize the child's exposure to conflict, encourage the parents to reach agreements to meet the child's needs, and to protect the best interests of the child. Additionally, a parenting plan is required to provide provisions for resolution of future disputes between the parents, residential provisions for the child, notice and parent-time responsibilities, relocation provisions, and other provisions regarding the welfare of the child. The statutes also suggest 'Advisory Guidelines' found in UCA 30-3-30 that suggest terms to facilitate and govern parent time arrangements between the parents.
Divorce Note: If the petition requests joint legal custody, or joint legal custody and joint physical custody, a parenting plan must also be filed with the court. The parenting plan may be directly incorporated into the petition and must be incorporated into the final order.
