Zoning-Immune Government Building Retains Its Protected Status Upon Transfer to Private Party
Beveridge & DiamondBrian Levey, Dylan King
The Massachusetts Appeals Court recently clarified whether formerly zoning-immune government buildings continue to considered lawfully noncompliant with local zoning when that immunity is terminated. In Gund v. Planning Bd. of Cambridge, 91 Mass. App. Ct. 813 (2017), the Court held that a structure that loses its governmental immunity remains a preexisting nonconforming structure under M.G L. c. 40A, § 6 (or a mirrored municipal zoning ordinance) at the time it is conveyed to a private party. The Court rejected the contention that it must distinguish between a structure that is nonconforming because of subsequent stricter zoning ordinances and a structure that is nonconforming after the loss of governmental immunity.
The subject of Gund is the Edward J. Sullivan Court House, which was built in 1974 by Middlesex County and is now owned by the Commonwealth. A private entity, LMP GP Holdings, LLC (LMP), signed a purchase and sale agreement with the Commonwealth intending to redevelop the building. Subsequently, LMP received four special permits from the Cambridge Planning Board to improve and expand the existing structure into a twenty story, multi-use complex.
One of the special permits allowed the alteration of a pre-existing nonconforming structure under the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance, Article 8, § 8.22.2(a), which mimics M.G L. c. 40A, § 6. To qualify as a nonconforming structure, the building must not conform to a dimensional, parking, or loading requirement of the ordinance, "provided that such structure was in existence and lawful at the time the applicable provisions of this or prior zoning ordinances became effective." The Cambridge Planning Board granted LMP the special permit effectively acknowledging that the courthouse fit this definition of a preexisting nonconforming structure.
A group of neighborhood property owners appealed, contending that the courthouse failed to meet the definition of a preexisting nonconforming structure. On appeal, the Massachusetts Land Court agreed with the Cambridge Planning Board's issuance of the special permit and the plaintiffs further appealed to the Appeals Court.
Before the Appeals Court, the plaintiffs highlighted the fact that the courthouse did not comply with the zoning ordinance when constructed in 1974 as it violated the then-required floor-to-area ratio. Since the courthouse was not compliant with zoning when built, the plaintiffs argued that it was not lawfully existing at the time it was constructed and could not qualify as nonconforming under the governing definition. Therefore, the plaintiffs argued, it followed that when the immunity was lifted (upon conveyance to LMP), the courthouse could not be considered a protected, preexisting nonconforming structure.
Finding this interpretation of Section 6 of Chapter 40A and the local zoning ordinance too narrow, the Court ruled: "[T]o the extent the courthouse here, strictly speaking, never fully satisfied zoning ordinance requirements, it has always been nonconforming. However, it has always been lawful because the zoning ordinance requirements simply did not apply to it." Further, the Court stated that it "discern[ed] no meaningful distinction in terms of the protections afforded nonconforming structures in the zoning ordinance between a structure that becomes nonconforming because of a subsequently enacted stricter ordinance and one that becomes nonconforming because of a loss of statutory immunity."
The Court's ruling is a helpful one for private parties considering the development of government buildings protected from local zoning by governmental immunity. However, on August 8, 2017, the plaintiffs filed for further appellate review with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

Intelligence can be described as information concerning an enemy or potential enemy, the evaluated conclusions drawn from such information, or an organization/agency engaged in gathering such information. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
To delve deeper, intelligence can be describes as the collecting and processing of that information about foreign countries and their agents which is needed by a government for its foreign policy and for national security, the conduct of non-attributable activities abroad to facilitate the implementation of foreign policy, and the protection of both process and product, as well as persons and organizations concerned with these, against unauthorized disclosure-- Bimfort, Martin T.

Q: jQueryUI Autocomplete ComboBox Too Long My jQuery UI AutoComplete ComboBox doesn't have a scrollbar on the right side and gets very, unfortuantely, long as shown below. I'd like to restrain this list to a reasonable length - any thoughts on how that might be accomplished? Thanks!

A: You can set the height via CSS:
.ui-autocomplete {
    max-height: 600px;
    overflow-y: auto;   /* prevent horizontal scrollbar */
    overflow-x: hidden; /* add padding to account for vertical scrollbar */
    z-index:1000 !important;
}

A: This is an old question, so while the solution by j08691 worked fine with older Primefaces, now the class name has changed to "ui-autocomplete-list":
.ui-autocomplete-list {
    max-height: 400px;
    overflow-y: auto;   /* prevent horizontal scrollbar */
    overflow-x: hidden; /* add padding to account for vertical scrollbar */
    z-index:1000 !important;
}

A: At some point this has changed again, as of jQuery-UI 1.12.1 the class is 'ui-autocomplete.ui-front' so the accepted answer becomes:
.ui-autocomplete.ui-front {
    max-height: 600px;
    overflow-y: auto;   /* prevent horizontal scrollbar */
    overflow-x: hidden; /* add padding to account for vertical scrollbar */
    z-index:1000 !important;
}

A: Start looking into the CSS. Most likely the drop down list is a select or ul. If the drop down is enclosed within a DIV, add "overflow:auto", that will give it a scroll bar. Or set the max height to the div. Another solution would be putting a limit on the results. Just don't populate the box with that many entries.

A: Create your own extension and add the required methods:
$.widget("custom.combobox",
$.custom.combobox,
{
    //Extension metod to add custom css to input
    addInputCss: function (css) {
        this.input.addClass(css);
    },

    //Extension metod to add custom css to menu (opened select list)
    addMenuCss: function (css) {
        $(this.input.autocomplete("instance").menu.element).addClass(css);

    },
});

Sample usage:
$("#yourSelectId").combobox().combobox("addInputCss","yourInputCss").combobox("addMenuCss","yourMenuCss");

A: .ui-autocomplete {
    overflow-y: auto;
    height: 300px;
    overflow-x: hidden;
}

This would do the trick. Without having horizontal scroll bar.

HAVANA, Cuba, Apr 5 (ACN) The President of the Councils of State and Ministers, Miguel Diaz-Canel, received on Thursday the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who has been on an official visit to Cuba since last Wednesday.
The visit takes place in the year that marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations, according to a note published on Cubadebate.
Ghana was the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to establish relations with Cuba, the Cuban President recalled on the social network Twitter.
The historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, and the first President of the Republic of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, maintained a strong friendship.
As part of the extensive program he is carrying out during his visit to Cuba, the African leader paid tribute to our National Hero JoseMarti at the Memorial in his honor in the Revolution Square. He also met with the president of the National Assembly of People's Power (Parliament) of Cuba, Esteban Lazo.


Contrary to what so many believe, the field of Parapsychology studies much more than ghosts and hauntings. Parapsychologists are generally not very psychic (and psychics are rarely parapsychologists). Parapsychology is not psychology. So, what is the field all about? Just who are the parapsychologists and what do they do?
This 60 hour course is an overview to the field of Parapsychology, and the main areas of research and investigation: ESP, PsychoKinesis (mind over matter), and Survival of Bodily Death. Included will be a general discussion of where the field came from, where the major centers of research are today, and where the field might be headed. Students will have an opportunity to review some of the basic research in the field and to apply the theories and applications to their current helping profession or to pursue parapsychological field investigations on their own. All courses may be taken individually. Materials and texts are included in the tuition price of $1,255.00.
The Paraspychological Studies program is not approved for CEU credits.
The Certificate in Parapsychological Studies is a 60 hour course of study comprised of six separate courses (not including the 3 hour Introductory class.) The course syllabus follows.
All classes are "distant learning" only on CD!
(While this is a pre-requistite class for the certificate it may be waived depending upon life experience with parapsychology).
This lecture is meant as an introduction and overview to the field of Parapsychology, and the main areas of research and investigation: ESP, PsychoKinesis (mind over matter), and Survival of Bodily Death. Included will be a general discussion of where the field came from, where the major centers of research are today, and where the field might be headed.
This 3 hour lecture is intended to provide psychotherapists and others with an overview of experiences people report as psychic and paranormal, from the perspective of the field of Parapsychology, as well as an overview of the jargon, definitions, and research. This lays the groundwork for subsequent courses in the Parapsychological Studies program.
Ghost Hunting: Investigating the Paranormal: 12 hours, $250.
Most people are interested in the paranormal phenomena we classify as ghostly: Apparitions, Hauntings and Poltergeists. Many are interested in understanding their own experiences and the experiences of others. Many are intensely interested in gaining the skills and knowledge necessary to be an effective investigator of such things: a Ghost Hunter.
This class is a guide to ghost hunting, and attendees will gain the basic skills and understanding for investigation of ghosts, poltergeists, haunted places and related psychic experiences. The class will include the models of what these things are (from the field of parapsychology), how the scientific and psychic approaches can mesh together, and how to assess a situation, investigate it, and resolve the case to the satisfaction of the people having the experiences (and hopefully to the satisfaction of the ghosts, when they're involved). You will learn about: Apparitions, hauntings and poltergeists: differences and similarities.
Naturally, the class will include some of Auerbach's more exciting cases.
This 12 hour class is a deep introduction and overview meant to teach proper methodologies for field investigation and assessment of people's environments and experiences, from the perspective of over 130 years of parapsychological field work (with a little psychology, environmental science, and common sense thrown in). For psychotherapists, understanding actual field methods and findings, how and when the scientific method can be applied (and when not), and where the TV shows have gone so wrong will help them deal with any clients who may have either had a paranormal (ghostly) experience or want to follow what they see on TV and do a little ghost hunting themselves.
Additionally, part of the course is directed at actually helping people through their experiences, whether that means simply investigating and finding more normal explanations for their conclusions, understanding, explaining and working through certain experiences from a parapsychological perspective, or providing solid psychological referrals (almost always necessary when there's any fear or traumatic reaction, even when there are normal explanations).
MIND, MATTER AND TIME: How Our Psychic Abilities Affect the World Around Us, Pierce the Veil of Time and Help Create the Future. In this six week course, Loyd Auerbach will discuss two fascinating psychic abilities, Psychokinesis (mind over matter) and Precognition. In addition, he'll delve into theories of Time and Space that connect Psychokinesis (PK) and Precognition.
In relation to PK, he'll delve into: what parapsychologists and many others know today about PK, how it manifests itself, and how it hints at the broader interconnectedness between our consciousnesses and the Universe around us.
There will be an experiential PK segment to this class, working with a method for PK developed by the late (great) science and science fiction writer Martin Caidin, himself capable of PK. As for precognition, Auerbach will cover questions such as: Can anyone really predict the Future? How? Is there really a Future that can be predicted? What is Time? Can we change the Future? Why do so many psychics miss on their predictions? What about the premonitions of the average person?
Parapsychologists have evidence that precognition exists. Research indicates that people can predict some future events, but not all. Sometimes precognition works well, and sometimes not. Loyd Auerbach will discuss a variety of theories of Time and Timelines especially in the context of our apparent ability to predict the Future. He'll cover the varied ways precognitive information pops up in our lives and some of the interesting research in Parapsychology. He'll discuss conclusions reached by researchers about the nature of our ability to foretell the future.
Finally, there will be a focus on a conundrum in parapsychology: Do we predict the future or cause it to come into being with a little help from our PK? If the former, how do we use this information to shape our own personal Futures? If the latter, what does that say about our beliefs and expectations, and how all humanity consciously and unconsciously shapes the Future? Join us for what will be a mind bending experience.
Given the interest the general public has in both precognition and mind over matter, this 15 hour course will provide background for psychotherapists in how people perceive the issue of both predicting the future (something many seem almost obsessed with) and how people come to believe their thoughts may influence the world around them.
Whether or not you have you had psychic/paranormal experiences, this class can help you discover your psychic potential. Or if you are someone who has had many experiences, this class will help you with understanding those experiences and developing them further, potentially into actual abilities.
This course focuses on the "informational" psychic abilities that have been called Extra-Sensory Perception: telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition—and touches on sensing/perceiving spirits. We'll discuss how these abilities show up in people's experiences, both those of the average person and the ostensibly more "talented" psychics.
With discussion of scientific research from the early days to the more recent remote viewing and more, attendees will learn about the findings of research on psychic people, and how the findings of parapsychology research leads to a better understanding of the experiences and abilities people have and can develop. We'll also discuss the role telepathy and clairvoyance play in ghost encounters, hauntings and mediumship.
In class, we'll do ESP testing and some exercises and techniques geared to help with psychic development. We'll conduct some clairvoyance and remote viewing "tests" as well as play a few telepathy and psychometry games based somewhat on the instructor's experience of a TV game show that was in development for the Game Show Network a number of years ago.
Naturally, we'll take some time to discuss the psychic experiences of attendees.
Finally, there will be discussion of how to assess psychic readings and even the backgrounds of self-professed psychics, parapsychologists, and paranormal investigators.
This 12 hour course is intended to provide psychotherapists with an understanding of how ESP relates to ordinary perception, how and why people experience ESP, what kinds of experiences may be confused or misidentified as psychic or paranormal, and basic techniques clients' often encounter when interested in enhancing their own psychic experiences/abilities.
Do we survive the death of our bodies? Is there Life after Death? What is the evidence?
This seminar will cover the search for evidence of Survival of Bodily Death from the earliest psychical researchers to parapsychologists of today. With an eye towards the evidence garnered and the research and investigations methods to gather it the class covers topics such as ghosts, mediumship, near death experiences, electronic voice phenomena, out of body experiences, reincarnation and psychic experience says about whether we live on in some fashion after the deaths of our bodies.
Some time will also be spent discussing the recent research of Gary Schwartz, working with psychic mediums at the University of Arizona and the work of the Division of Personality Studies at the University of Virginia in Reincarnation and Apparition research. The importance of ESP and PK in any model of Survival will be discussed. The class will also look at the debate regarding evidence for Survival vs. the Super-Psi hypothesis from the perspective of the Survival proponents.
Billions of people believe in some form of an afterlife, and all polls and surveys of the American people over the last 50 years have indicated a large portion of the population believes they've had at least one ghostly or afterlife encounter. For psychotherapists to be able to understand and empathize with their clients' potential beliefs and experiences, including around grieving, it's important for them to learn what kinds of experiences people have relating to life after death, and the scientific evidence for and against the underlying concepts of those experiences. This 9 hour class addresses the beliefs, experiences, and research into Survival of Bodily Death, and how such beliefs and experiences can be integrated into people's lives.
This short course covers basic models of how psychic abilities seem to work, what apparitions and hauntings are, and a survey of theories that might (or might not) explain it all. In part one, research findings that connect to how psi might work are reviewed and discussed. In part two, theoretical perspectives on psi are reviewed and discussed, including electromagnetic, space-time, quantum entanglement, and others. Also discussed will be explanations of psi experiences and abilities of a more normal kind, such as perceptual errors, fraud, and neurological constructs.
In this 6 hour class, students will review the importance of theories and models in scientific fields, and the range of theories/models of psychic experience and phenomena, including those coming from neuroscience, psychology, and physics. Psychotherapists will be better armed to discuss concepts clients' have been exposed to when looking into the "how" and "why" of self-identified psychic experiences.
In this 6 hour class, psychotherapists will be presented with two areas of great importance in working with clients' reported psychic experiences: how parapsychology relates to psychology and other fields of academic/scientific study, and how psi is experienced and reported (and explained) in a variety of cultures around the world as well as in popular culture.
How do psychic abilities manifest differently in different cultures?
How are Magic, Witchcraft, and Sorcery beliefs tied in to psychic experiences and abilities?
Does Religion play a role?
How do psychic experiences fit in (or not fit in) to mainstream models of the Mind and Behavior?
Is Quantum Physics really relevant to understanding psychic experiences or Consciousness?
Why does Western Mainstream Science react with such negativity to even the idea that psychic abilities might exist?
This short course addresses the questions above and covers the place of Parapsychology in the spectrum of all fields of Science with a particular focus on cross-cultural concepts and magic, witchcraft and sorcery beliefs. We'll look at why the academic culture of Western Mainstream Science has such issues with parapsychology and psychic phenomena, especially in light of how parapsychologists have contributed to other fields, and how the concepts, theories and research of other fields have impacted how parapsychologists have worked since the beginnings of the field in the 19th Century.
All seven courses must be taken to fulfill the requirements for the Certificate in Parapsychological Studies.
Courses can be taken and paid for individually.
The Parapsychology Certificate program is also available on CD. All courses have been audio-taped, live. This includes lectures, discussion and questions/answers between students and the instructor.
In addition, distance learning students will be scheduled for a one to two hour tele-class (via telephone) with the instructor (longer classes get two hours, shorter classes get 1 hour tele-class). In this way, students will still be able to interact and ask questions of the instructor. Naturally, students may interact via email as well.
For each certificate-related course, there will be a short multiple choice test to ensure the material has been understood by the students.

If you are looking for parking lot sweepers in Phoenix or Southern CA, keep these practical considerations in mind.
Your choice of parking lot sweeper will depend on the sites or surfaces where you work. If you intend to target parking lots, for instance, equip your business with sweepers designed to deal with asphalt surfaces marred by paint, oil spills and stubborn stains.
Consider the overall value of the equipment, including durability ratings, ease of use and maintenance and expected service lifespan. Highly acclaimed sweeper models that are properly maintained can fetch high resale values in the used equipment market, so choose wisely.
If you are tasked to clean larger areas or properties such as airport lots, industrial complexes or even entire neighborhoods as a contractor for municipalities, you will need heavy-duty sweepers that can efficiently do the task. Plus, you need suitable pressure washers and detergents for asphalt or concrete pavements.
Count on leading distributors like Total Clean Equipment to provide industrial sweepers in Southern CA and Nevada. Manufactured by the top-rated brands in the industry, these machines will enable you to take on big jobs and maximize your profits.


Xiaomi is giving its best to become the biggest smartphone manufacturer in India. Last month it took on Oppo and Vivo with its selfie centric offering, the Redmi Y1 and today it has managed to take on the budget offerings of Motorola and Samsung at the Rs. 7000 price range by introducing what it calls "Desh ka smartphone". The Xiaomi Redmi 5A was launched today in India and from the outset we want to point out that it is slightly different from the Redmi 5A which was launched in China.
For starters, the Indian Redmi 5A variant will have a new type SIM and microSD card slot. You have one tray that accepts a nano SIM and microSD card and another tray just above it which accepts another nano SIM card. This is a relief of Xiaomi fans who were frustrated with the hybrid SIM setup of the earlier phones. Another difference is that the Xiaomi Redmi 5A which will be sold in India will also have a 3GB RAM + 32GB internal memory variant along with the 2GB RAM + 16GB internal memory variant.
The Xiaomi Redmi 5A also has better cameras than its predecessor and its Chinese cousin. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A has a 13MP camera on the rear with PDAF. On the front it has the same 5MP sensor. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A is still powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset which has a 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core processor. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A comes preloaded with MIUI 9 which is Xiaomi's take on Android Nougat. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A has a 5inch HD resolution display and will be available in Dark Grey, Gold and Pink colour variants.
The Xiaomi Redmi 5A has a 3000mAh battery which can easily last for two days on average use. Just like its predecessors the Redmi 5A comes with an IR blaster which has become a staple for all Xiaomi smartphones. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A will be assembled in India at the Foxconn facility. Finally we arrive at the most important part of any smartphone announcement, the pricing and availability. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A will be priced at Rs. 5999 for the 2GB RAM + 16GB internal memory variant and Rs. 6999 for the 3GB + 32GB internal memory variant. But wait, as a gift to Xiaomi fans, the company has decided to give out a discount of one thousand rupees on the 2GB + 16GB variant thus effectively bringing the price to Rs. 4999 for the first five million buyers. The Xiaomi Redmi 5A will go up for sale online on the Mi website and Flipkart and offline at retail partners and Mi Homes from 7th December at 12 noon.


16,000 men registered as conscientious objectors during the First World War. 3,400 joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, or the Non-Combatant Corps, dubbed the 'No Courage Corps'. 6,312 conscientious objectors were arrested; 5,970 faced a court martial - and most were imprisoned. 81 conscientious objectors died, and others had mental breakdowns, due to their harsh treatment in prisons and work camps. Many continued to be ostracised after the war, even by their churches. Here are some of their stories.
The names of 578 Methodists who were COs in WW1. We know there are more stories to discover. Can you add to this list?


"Something is coming, that is far beyond you and I..."
For some of the time during this rather long movie, I felt rather bored, but most of the time, I was excited, and more importantly, amazed by the visual spectacle of an epic event brought to life. I had fun following the unfolding events, although some plot details are better left untouched for a more compact, fast-paced, awesome film.
The film started well with an action scene and a potential rivalry building, but then slowed down for up until the first hour. I felt bored during those moments more than most, and admittedly, I checked my watch a few times. It is the only setback I felt of the whole film because what follows, is some awesome spectacle. The middle part was the best & most exciting part, as I was left in intense suspense & awe of the amazing visual effects, of the plagues brought to life. And somehow, I felt sympathy for the people, including main antagonist Ramesses himself (I give full credit to Joel Edgerton for bringing to life such a relatable & emotional character).
I was immersed in the world since then, and from there onwards, it was only the wait for the final epic moment in the Red Sea. In between is just Moses' struggle in finding a way, and Ramesses' getting hell bent on revenge. I was rather surprised (slightly dissapointed though) with the climactic moment in the Red Sea. The ending was more of a necessity, but didn't feel satisfactory enough.
So in the end, there were moments that just dazzled and make me lost in words, but others were just boring plot points, some of which could have been removed. My full credit is for Ridley Scott for such an amazing work, especially on how much effort is put into the details, that brings to life such an amazing world and epic event that it centers on. Acting-wise, Joel Edgerton is the only one that took me by surprise and was beyond amazing. Action sequences were story-driven, meanwhile no comedy as I recalled in a film so dramatically-toned.
Not really good & bad aspects, more of a amazing moments & some boring moments.


Can someone help please.Im interested in a piece of land which has a certificate of lawfulness for an existing use of land for siting of one static caravan .Can anyone explain to me what this means in terms of living in a static caravan on the site .
A Certificate of Lawfulness for an existing use of land for sitting of one static caravan means it is permitting the living in a static caravan on the site as a dwelling, having said that you would require 4 years evidence under established usage as proof. Although without the exact location of the site and the static caravan I cannot give the most accurate information. If you have any other questions please contact me on alext@drawingandplanning.com.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have applied for permitted development for a 3m rear extension, part double height and part single height. The single height part of our application is because it will be within 2 metres of the boundary with our neighbours (max height of building allowed 3 metres). We were initially refused permitted development because apparently the application is considered as a whole in other words as the highest point of the application (the double height part of the application). Therefore contravening the height maximum height of 3 metres within 2 metres of our neighbours.
We subsequently reapplied only with the double height part of the extension which has been granted a certificate of lawfulness. We now would like to apply for the single part of the extension but have been told there has to be a small gap between the two rear extensions and they can't be joined? I have scanned all the technical guidance and can't find information on this anywhere. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction please? Many thanks in advance!

I'm hoping someone out there has some useful advice for me?!
I've recently bought a lovely house that has an annexe that was being used as a granny-flat- one bedroomed place…the plan is to convert it into a small physiotherapy clinic that I can work out from…I took some advice from the council and looked on the planning portal and in the end I applied for a certificate of lawful use…unfortunately I heard today that it's been rejected as they are concerned that as the business grows it will impact on the traffic etc…though the house is on a very busy road with a very big ASDA Walmart next door so I don't agree that a one-man band like me will affect the traffic….anyhow…I don't know what my next step should be- they suggest a full planning application- but will it go through? How can I make sure it will go through? are there any professions that specifically advise on planning applications? Any help/ advise would be gratefully received….
I'm hoping someone out there has some useful advice for me?!

Do you ever feel like sometimes rich people get away with things that normal people just have to deal with? In America, the ultra-wealthy elite are used to such privilege — they have vast amounts of money that they can use to influence people and even the laws themselves. Here are a few laws that just don't seem to apply to the ultra-rich.
Everyone heard about the case of Ethan Crouch, a wildly rich teenager who got off with a slap on the wrist after killing four other people while driving under the influence. His lawyer used the defense of "affluenza" — that is, that Crouch was so wealthy that he wasn't fully able to comprehend the consequences of his actions. He got off with an incredibly light punishment — only ten years probation when the average person would have gone to prison for decades.
Crouch's case proves that anybody who can hire a lawyer that has the audacity to argue that wealth was the biggest mitigating factor in their case has more money than the average person will ever see in their entire lifetime.
In 2010, filmmaker Andrew Jarecki was contacted by Robert Durst, the infamous son of a real estate magnate in New York. Durst had seen a film of Jarecki's, and wanted to give Jarecki access to his life in order to make a documentary on him. Jarecki jumped at the chance, as reclusive Durst was not only extraordinarily wealthy, but was also known as a murderer who got off because his father hired an entire team of brilliant lawyers to mount his defense.
At the end of the film, while Durst was on mic but was unaware that it was still live, he essentially admitted to being guilty of the deaths of three separate people: his former wife, a neighbor, and his best friend. He was arrested in 2015, and his trial is ongoing.
There are tons of celebs and other rich people who got away with tax evasion for years before being apprehended. It seems insane that wealthy people seek to avoid paying their taxes like any other law-abiding citizen, but it definitely happens. There are many famous cases: Wesley Snipes, Martha Stewart, and Annie Leibovitz are just a few of the wealthy celebs who have been busted for tax evasion over the years. In these cases, we're not just talking about one year of paying zero dollars to the government — we're talking about years and years of avoidance and greed that thankfully ended with them being caught.
Who knows how many more rich people there are out there who don't believe they need to pay taxes? The recently-released Panama Papers will surely reveal more names.


Very convincing cello sound. Easier to play than my acoustic cello (I think that's because there are no natural resonances to fight against). Slight disappointment that the finish lacks the brightness of the catalogue photos, but a bit of wax polish may remedy that. Much, much, better (for sound and for noise-free electronics) than a Yamaha that I tried recently. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

School year's early start burns parents
The Board of Education is expected to approve the school district's calendar for the 2005-06 academic year tonight -- but not before a spirited debate among parents over when classes should begin.
There have long been arguments among parents over whether school should start before or after Labor Day, with the former winning out the past several years.
This year, however, brings a new wrinkle -- the 20th anniversary of the Burning Man art festival in the wastelands of Nevada is scheduled for Aug. 29- Sept. 5. In an only-in-San Francisco argument, several parents are demanding that school start Sept. 6 so their children can attend the event.
Unfortunately for the Burning Man contingent, the board is expected to set Aug. 29 as the first day of school.


Kim Butler Napurrula "My Country"
Kim's works are primarily 'My Country' which also consist of depictions of women's ceremony and the sacred women's sites including rockhole sites between the communities of Kintore and Kiwirkurra in the Western desert of Central Australia. Kim's works are of traditional linear designs, concentric circles and dot work.
The lines represent the travel path of the women between ceremonial camp-sites, and the concentric circles signify the campsites themselves and various topographical elements of the area that Kim's paintings.

Lebanon is a country built upon dichotomies. It is a blend of cultures, poised at the intersection between the Western and the Arab world. Born in Beirut and living in the West, photographer Rania Matar is especially attuned to those dichotomies. Here she honors the lives of the women and children of Lebanon in evocative black-and-white photographs. They convey the many facets of life, acknowledging the undeniable presence of war and tragedy, yet celebrating the strength, dignity, and humanity of lives lived amidst the rubble, in refugee camps, or behind the veil. The images are universal, powerful reminders of the tender bond between a mother and child, the cheerful camaraderie of friends, and the resilience of the human spirit. Accompanying these photographs are excerpts from the poetry of celebrated Palestinian-American author Lisa Majaj.

Reviews & Accolades for Ordinary Lives
"To carry us beyond the hype and headlines of the news of the day, Rania Matar's photography brings us insight into the lives and hearts of her people. The faith and commitment to life that mark the crossroads of modern Lebanon have shaped her soul and inspired her eye. This is art touched by a grace that commands our attention and makes demands upon our understanding and compassion. A clear light such as hers will always illuminate the spirit of humankind and aid us all in our daily challenge of beating back the lurking darkness."
Roy Flukinger, Senior Research Curator, Harry Ransom Center Austin TX
In the world of stark contrasts that is Lebanon today Rania Matar documents the precarious existence of women and girls as they navigate their everyday lives in the aftermath of civil war. Her stunning black-and-white images made in the Palestinian refugee camps stand as witness to the strength and spirit of those seeking normalcy in the ruins of this war torn country. Matar approaches her veiled subjects, both young and old, with a rare intimacy and respect born of her own profound compassion for her native Lebanon and its people.
Karen Haas, The Lane Collection Curator of Photographs, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
A sense of duality informs Matar's work. Much of that duality is what one might expect: East and West, rich and poor, war and peace. But what's most striking about Matar's photography is another duality: its balance between the realistic and poetic. She is the documentarian as lyricist, someone who, recording the incongruous, discovers the transcendent.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
Rania Matar photographs the ordinary activity of life – women reading a newspaper, young women putting on a veil, children playing with dolls, clothes drying on a line – in a culture often misunderstood in the West, at a time of social and political conflict. Her photographs do not explore the conflicting ideologies. They are studies of the beauty and resiliency of the human spirit made by a gifted photographer who combines the knowledge and love of the land of her birth with the perspective of a person educated in the West. Ordinary Lives is anything but ordinary.
Howard Bossen, PhD, Professor, School of Journalism, Michigan State University
Adjunct Photography Curator, Kresge Art Museum
Rania Matar was born and raised in Lebanon. She was trained and worked as an architect from 1987 to 2000, but in the summer of 2002 she began photographing the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. She has returned each summer to capture the humanity of those who have lost everything, but still maintain their dignity. Her work expanded over time to include the aftermath of war and women and the veil, giving a face to people often forgotten or misunderstood.
Drawn to the most difficult of subject matter, Matar has managed to be present, but not seen, to record small moments in the ordinary lives of people living under extraordinary circumstances. The individuals in her pictures, mostly women and children, are treated with respect and sensitivity.
Matar's pictures are direct, honest, and without pretense. They are not political. They transcend time and place and provide comfort and warmth. In spite of the context of war and displacement, they have a beauty of their own and give us hope for a better world.
Constantine Manos, Photographer, Magnum Photos
Anthony Shadid died while on assignment in Syria in February 2012. Anthony Shadid was a dear friend, a great reporter and most importantly, just a compassionate and wonderful human being. I am honored to have met him and worked with him. He reported the news from the Middle East the way I would have loved to photograph it, with love and compassion. I will forever cherish having his beautiful essay in my book.
Rest in peace Anthony.

Unavailability of public transport taking toll on people: NC
Srinagar, Dec 29: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference on Thursday voiced concern over the unavailability of reliable public transport in Srinagar Suburbs and other districts.
This was said by the party's state Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar while echoing with the sentiments of civil society members from Chaterhama, Harwan, Khimber, Dara, Mulfaq, Tailbal and Burzhama who had spoken on the issue and demanded corrective measures from the authorities concerned.
They lamented the unavailability of public transport in their respective area saying that the lingering issue is causing immense problems to the locals. They said that the problem is most prevalent on the routes of Hazratbal, Harwan, Shalimar, Khimber Tailbal, Burzhama and Mulfaq suburbs. "The issue is taking a toll on office goers, students, and especially on women and elderly passengers. The sumo service yards that operate at Exchange Road Lal Chowk and Maisuma are mostly deserted in the evening. Additionally, the sumo service on these routes is sparse and unavailable after sunset. We have few public buses on these routes. But unless all private buses and cabs operate on the routes, the issue will continue to linger on," he said.
Speaking on the issue, Imran said, "It must be very taxing for our elderly persons, mothers, sisters, and students to wait for hours to get ferried to their destinations. Let alone the despair that the city roads are fraught with, it is tormenting to hear about the ordeals that the commuters are going through on an everyday basis. The unreliability of public transport raises questions over the functioning of the concerned departments of Traffic, RTO, and SMC."
He appealed to authorities to address the issue on priority basis so that the people don't have to suffer, particularly during the ongoing harsh winter months.

At the Legacy of Love Monument, located at the intersection of Cedar Springs Road and Oak Lawn Avenue, vandals painted the numbers "666".
The 35-foot monument is maintained by the Oak Lawn Committee.
Oak Lawn Committee president Brenda Marks said she was saddened to hear from a friend that the monument was vandalized. Over the past few years, the Oak Lawn Committee has spent nearly $15,000 on repairs from car crashes. But in this case, she said it hurts more because the damage was intentional.
Apparently, Marks and several volunteers spent their afternoon cleaning the monument of the markings, which apparently have some religious, anti-Christ reference: 666 is the gematria of the name of the antichrist.
Of course, 666 is also a progressive rock double album by psychedelic/progressive art rock group Aphrodite's Child. It was released in 1972. Yeah, even I remember it.
Somehow I don't think these vandals were thinking of Aphrodite's Child. They also defaced the Cathedral of Hope, near Cedar Springs and Inwood roads, which has a large gay and lesbian membership. The "666" graffiti was found on the driveway.
Also, the Dallas Morning News reports that the building at Maple and Oak Lawn housing the Dallas Observer at Maple and Oak Lawn avenues was also defaced.
Thanks Candy for giving a shout out to Brandon. What a guy! Called us yesterday and was there last night working away. And late last night I had a call from another person who owned a commercial cleaning service who volunteered to do it. Yes, there are good people in the world!
