Q: Django how to get something by foreign key' value? I have a model:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Create your models here.
class Strategy(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    mod_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    strategy_name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    strategy = models.TextField()
    position = models.TextField()

I want to get username = "leo".
But in  Strategy's user is using user_id.
How to get "models.Strategy.objects.get" or "models.Strategy.objects.filter" using username = "leo"?
Thank you.

A: Duplicated question Django models filter by foreignkey
Strategy.objects.filter(user__username='leo').first()

or
try:
    Strategy.objects.get(user__username='leo')
except Strategy.DoesNotExists():
    print 'username Leo does not exists'

Your home is your sanctuary, and if you think like most homeowners, getting window treatments in Chicago that give you privacy and sound control to maintain your sanctuary is important to you. Any window treatment is more effective than a bare window. However there are some window treatments that give you more privacy than others, even on nontraditional windows.
All of the large, standard windows in your home are simple to cover with nearly any window treatment like Chicago shutters, shades, or blinds.
Bathroom windows where excess moisture can damage fabric window treatments.
Sidelight windows that are long and skinny on which window treatments can be jostled around when the door opens or shuts.
Specialty-shape windows like eyebrows, round windows, bay windows, etc., where typical store-bought blinds and curtains can't cover your window without hiding the window's unique shape.
Large windows that are difficult to reach like second-story foyer windows.
In these cases, you'll need window treatments that go the distance to provide privacy to your space.
As a plus, shop around for window treatments that can block sound to keep random noise outside and keep inside noise inside.
The best window treatments for privacy that we recommend are Polywood® plantation shutters. Plantation shutters are able to be shut completely, for when blocking all the light and sound you can is what you want. If you want to let light in and see outdoors, just give the louvers a tilt. For high windows, you should keep the louvers tilted at an angle so light can enter but passersby can't see in.
Indoor shutters are also great for non-rectangular windows because they're custom built to your exact dimensions. And since Polywood shutters are moisture resistant, they're an excellent choice for bathrooms.
Another great window treatment for privacy is roller shades. Roller shades take up very little space above the window, but are easily pulled down to prevent outsiders from seeing into your home. While they can't be custom-fit to fit unique window shapes, you can find roller shapes made from moisture-resistant material for areas like your bathrooms.
While any window covering offers a basic level of privacy, there are two that might not get the job done. The first is sheer curtains. Sheer curtains were popular years ago and can add a an airy feeling to a room. However they're easy to see through, especially at night.
Another product we don't recommend for privacy are aluminum or bulky blinds, which can bend and/or get stuck at an angle. If you can't completely close the blinds because of breakage, then they're not helping keeping your home private.
If you're on the hunt for window treatments that protect your privacy, then give us a call at 847-250-6544 or fill out the form below to get a free in-home consultation. During the consultation, our install team will explain all of your options to find the perfect window treatment for your home and your budget.


Dig Deep is what all quick and easy games should be: simple to learn and a ton of fun to master. Classic mining gameplay takes the likes of Spelunky and SteamWorld Dig to their stripped back cores, sending players tunnelling through the randomly generated world of the Intergalactic Mining Guild.
Gather gold to upgrade your toolbelt and recruit fellow miners with distinct skills tailored to certain gameplay elements. Roger, a rogue intergalactic miner with his sights set on gold, has been sent to a distant planet to find his fortune underground, but it won't be easy. Defend yourself against alien enemies and explore every nook and cranny of the tunnels, all in glorious indie game pixel art with a classic chiptune soundtrack.
Imagine This War of Mine and Fallout had a child, and it inherited point and click gameplay from its independent ancestors. That's what Don't Escape: 4 Days In A Wasteland plays as. David is a survivor of a worldwide catastrophic annihilation. As his post-apocalyptic world turns against him, you must work to fortify your base and learn more about the events that have led up to this moment as well as the companions you surround yourself with in order to survive.
Each strategy you employ will lead you down new gameplay paths, opening a branching narrative of enemy encounters and tactical approaches. If you're a fan of watching the world burn through the nicely distancing lens of pixel aesthetics, 4 Days In A Wasteland will suit you well.
After all those emotional storylines and strategic mechanics, you might be in the mood for a good old-fashioned bullet orchestra. It's simple, it's exciting, it's frantic – Gunkid 99 ticks a lot of boxes. You won't be buying the artbook any time soon, and it's not going to break any moulds, but Yongjustyong's title offers a satisfying platforming treat for the thumbs.
Max out your score by dominating each level with as many combos and the highest kill count you can muster. New weapons and abilities are always up for grabs, and the level design is cleverly manipulated to take advantage of different tactical combinations and playstyles. It's a true leaderboard chaser that will satisfy that sudden need to blast something to smithereens.
The most exciting part of Nova Drift isn't the frenetic arcade space combat, no. The most exciting part of Nova Drift comes at the start, when you build your ship. This roguelite action RPG allows players to quickly experiment with different spaceship builds to test in different combat scenarios, blending rapid progression and satisfying gameplay in a strategic test of creativity.
Your ship is always evolving, upgrading as you delve deeper into the combat system of the skies and swap your skills and weapons on the fly. Each gameplay session will see you take your ship to new heights, encouraging synergy across over 120 ship upgrades to achieve new and unique combat styles.
Trüberbrook has been anticipated for a while, but in the wake of blockbuster titles like Sekiro and the indie breakthroughs of the month, it seems to have been left out of the discussion. There seems to be a growing thirst for sci-fi parallel universes of the 1960s brewing across the gaming world. Whether it's the already otherworldly universe of the 60s, or the contrast between high and low tech, this setting has served as the backdrop for a number of titles, and Trüberbrook looks like one of the most interesting yet.
Created entirely using physical scenery and even lit with real-life tiny lamps, this charming journey through a strange village in Germany brings a warm, quirky charm to the adventure genre. Play as a young American student, Hans Tannhauser, as he finds himself stranded in the German village of Trüberbrook during the turbulent year of 1967. While the world's attention is fixed on the Cold War, Vietnam, and the space race, the sleepy village of Trüberbrook is quietly consumed by scientific achievement far beyond the scope of the era. You must first discern why you've been brought to the village, and then save the world in this narrative-driven adventure.
There's always something new to play, whether it's a genre not typically on your shopping list, or a developer's first foray into the independent scene, headlines rarely capture an entire month's releases.

Cinéphile | FILMS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Manuel López-Vidal is an influential politician in his region. While he must enter the national leadership of his party, he finds himself involved in a corruption case that threatens one of his closest friends. Trapped, he sees in career going to hell…..
Here is an awesome political thriller from Spain with high caliber actors with a fast ride to hell. Regional vice-secretary Manuel Lopez Vidal (de la Torre) devised an illegal system to fill his pockets fast, as well as his friends, but is unmasked when his close friend, Paco (Nacho Fresneda) is accused of corruption. A recorded conversation has leaked out into the media Suddenly, Manuel 's life is turned upside down by a thorough investigation that can send him to jail. Manuel is trying to keep a float and his family safe. One of his friends even told him to keep quiet and do nothing to see if this his going to blow over, He does not listen and makes sure that everyone is not going to talk. Well here is a fast past thriller of this political man and his corrupted friends who are going to turn on each other. A beautiful ending here like I said with terrific actors who plays the part very well. Let me tell you something do not miss this one. The game that politician plays and the corruption that goes with it which brings me that they will stop at nothing . Here is a well-crafted scenario with great dialogue.
In the 1970s, in Colombia, a Wayuu family of natives found themselves at the heart of the flourishing sale of marijuana to American youth. When the family honor tries to resist human greed, clan warfare becomes inevitable and endangers their ancestral lives, culture, and traditions. This is the birth of the drug cartels.
A girl named Zaida (Natalia Reyes) has just completed her ritual period of isolation and her people are celebrating her emergence, which symbolizes her readiness for marriage. And the prospect soon after the announcement tells her you "you are going to be my wife" announced by Rapayet (José Acosta), from an other family. Zaida's mother, Ursula (Carmiña Martínez), who seems to be the leader in her family , seems suspicious of Rapayet as soon as makes his intentions known. She ask for a dowry that she seems to assume is way beyond the man's means; it includes scores of goats and cows the main thing that one will ask as well as some valuable necklaces that are not easy to find. Not long after that he returns with all the dowry items. The way he enriched himself enough to afford his pretty and pricey bride is where the film's crime story begins. Birds of Passage is based on actual events from the 1960s-'80s and is told in four chapters, followed by a epilogue.
The Wayúu family believes in traditions and also in ghosts and are superstitious. But the new young members does not believe in tradition and resist the old way of doing things. They value honor but soon became to understand that greed, power, violence and death will follow. The director here took an approach non Hollywood , they did not glorify the violence. The filmmakers avoided direct, up-close depictions of violence. Sometimes we see only its results. Here is an independent film done right which is how the cartel took over back in the day. Now days the Cartel is going to take a hit because Marijuana is beginning to be legal in some countries. Do not miss this one.


My first review is an animated Disney superhero movie – who's surprised?
If you haven't seen this one yet, you should. It's still in theaters, and it's great. Big Hero 6, directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, is based on a lesser-known Marvel comic that Disney dug up and reinvented. Ryan Potter and Daniel Henney lend their voices as brothers Hiro and Tadashi Hamada, who are half-Japanese-half-Caucasian American (Potter and Henney are themselves of mixed heritage) living with their aunt in the futuristic city of San Fransokyo. While the brothers' mixed background is implied, both Hamada parents are deceased and never shown. I suppose actually depicting an AMWF couple on screen would have been too much awesome for one movie…sigh.
Superhero is one of my favorite genres. Unfortunately, it's also a genre that habitually fails the Bechdel test, Deggans rule, etc., even in the rare cases when the women or minorities are among the superheroes themselves (#ChoForBatman). Big Hero 6 bucks this trend. The team includes not just one, but two female superheroes who, like their male counterparts, are STEM research students at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology who use their skills to invent superhuman powers for themselves. Along with a huggable robot named Baymax, adorably voiced by Scott Adsit, the team attempts to apprehend the villain responsible for Tadashi's death. The women fight alongside the men and (gasp!) actually shout tactical instructions to one another on occasion.
Big Hero 6 doesn't exactly smash the patriarchy – all exploration of emotional depth is assumed by male characters, primarily through Hiro, Tadashi, the villain, and even Baymax. However, the film does include diverse representations of womanhood, from the traditionally "feminine" Honey Lemon to the more "badass" Go Go (who actually uses the phrase "woman up" in one wonderful scene to encourage Hiro), without implying that either woman is more or less capable than the other or any other character. If the film struggles with the Bechdel test, however, it passes the Deggans rule with ease. The team is composed of African-American, Korean-American, Hispanic-American, and Japanese-American individuals. The lone white male member of the Big Hero 6 team, whose life goal is to become a fire-breathing lizard, is not a science student but rather a somewhat dim-witted "science enthusiast" who serves primarily as comic relief.
When's the last time we got all that from Marvel?
While I agree that it was very refreshing to see such a diverse superhero team, especially now when comic book movies are so popular AND homogenous [insert joke about three blonde-haired blue-eyed actors named Chris], watching Big Hero 6 still deeply bothered me.
All in all, though, it's great to see someone else who not only loves Selfie but appears to really care about diversity in media. I'll be sure to check back in from time to time for sure.
Thanks for reading and sharing your opinion!
I read both your great articles, and I agree that Disney should have taken this much farther – for example, I would have loved to have seen Hiro's parents (presumably a white mother and fully Japanese father) on screen. I studied abroad in Japan in college and would also have appreciated more authentic representation.
That said, I can't complain about Hiro and Tadashi being half, as I so rarely see characters that represent my own family on screen. I guess I would have taken more issue with it if I was familiar the original story and thus really felt the extent of the whitewashing (*cough* 47 Ronin *cough*).
I definitely see what you're saying about enjoying the fact that Hiro and Tadashi were half-Caucasian half-Japanese as they were representative of, like you said, your own family. And that's definitely indicate of how important diversity is in all media, because all we really want is to see some part of ourselves reflected in what we see in pop culture. I mean, think about all of the Black children [and adults] who saw Wasabi and felt included in this fun animated flick, that's pretty great!
The reason it rubs me the wrong way, and I totally apologize if I'm repeating what I wrote in the posts which you told me you read, is that the decision was made to diversify an all-Asian cast. Hollywood execs, or whoever it was, thought that this was the film to make more ethnically diverse. There are dozens upon dozens of all-White casts but this is the movie we're singling out.
But again, it's tough. Clearly the Hamadas resonated with you, as I'm sure Honey Lemon's character struck a chord with Latino people, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's a step in the right direction, but maybe a step taken from the wrong starting point.

Jurgen Klopp 'very disappointed' with Liverpool defeat to Arsenal
By: Jamie Jones
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that he is very disappointed with his side's defeat to Arsenal this weekend.
The Reds suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Arsenal away from home at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League on Sunday.
Liverpool are 10th in the Premier League table at the moment with 10 points from eight matches.
The Merseyside club are six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and are 14 points behind leaders Arsenal.
Klopp told Liverpool's official website: "Yes. Very disappointed. I think around all three goals we made decisive mistakes. The first goal was definitely too early and in our situation it was obviously not what you need to get a foot in the game.
"I understand it a little bit because it's a situation where we pass the ball forward, lose it and have a chance to win it back, Diogo nearly blocks the ball and if he can block the ball then I think we go the other way.
"But he can't block the ball, the first ball plays through our lines and there we have to interrupt the game – whoever I don't know exactly, I have to look at it back – because the moment when Odegaard can [play] this pass, this pass is not to defend anymore, it's just not possible.
"1-0 down, really bad start but started controlling the game, played a really good game against a very aggressive, full-of-confidence Arsenal side. But we really showed that we are here for a reason. We scored the equaliser, a wonderful goal, great play and open game, could go either way I think with advantages for us, more possession, more finishes, these kind of things.
"Then we make a bad decision before half-time with the free-kick and that's the situation where you ignore a free-kick – I'm completely guilty for that. That's an excuse from my side, you can say I was surprised… 'Yeah, what are we doing?' But then the boys are convinced, 'Let's score a goal.' But we didn't, we conceded one on the other end. Like after the worst possible start, now we had the worst possible end to the first half.
"I told the boys that we have to try to obviously cut off the two goals and build on the good stuff. But that means you have to play football again and that's what we didn't do.
"Yes, Arsenal came out again very aggressive, man v man against Hendo and Thiago, but we were not flexible enough anymore in the front line – so didn't drop in the right moments, didn't offer half-spaces, apart from the goal from where we did that obviously particularly well.
"Then we scored the equaliser and now it's a really open game I think with, again, a slight advantage for us but then the penalty happens.
"What can I say now about that situation? So, he thought immediately it's a penalty, which is interesting but his decision. Mr England had a look at it and thought as well it's a penalty.
"How we know in life, if two refs think the same then it's the truth we have to live with. But if I see the situation back, if there was contact – I am not sure there was contact, but there might have been soft contact, of course – but the player goes again on both feet and then down, that's an indication that something might have been made up – but not for the refs. But they thought it's a clear not a handball in the first half when Diogo put the ball on Gabriel's arm – we cannot change that.
"Our situation is now obviously a really difficult one but it's already difficult enough with injuries now on top of that but if in a game like this these decisions go against you, it's kind of typical but it doesn't help.
"Now we have lost the game with a lot of good moments – again, not to forget. The team in form played against the team not in form pretty much, and we played some good stuff and could have got a result. I think a draw would have been a deserved result but now we have to deal with that and that's fine."
Liverpool's next Premier League match will be against Manchester City at Anfield next weekend.
The Reds can be backed at 20/1 on Betfair to win the match against City 2-0.

Leeds United Latest
Derby County confirm sell-out crowd for Leeds United first leg...as 2,800 travel with Leeds
Marcelo Bielsa looks on as Leeds United hammer Derby County 4-1 at Pride Park in August.

Leeds United fan? Never miss a thing with our daily newsletter
Derby County have confirmed a sell-out crowd for the first leg of their play-off semi-final against Leeds United.
All remaining tickets for Saturday's tie at Pride Park went earlier today, guaranteeing the Rams a capacity attendance for the visit of Leeds.
United have been given an away allocation of 2,800 and are themselves close to announcing a sell-out for the return leg at Elland Road a week today.
Around 20,000 tickets were sold by Leeds during the first day of sales on Monday amid a scramble for seats as the club attempt to end their 15-year absence from the Premier League.
In a statement, Derby said: "Supporters without a ticket are advised not to visit Pride Park on the day of the game as they will be unable to gain entry to the stadium."
Leeds and Derby have two of the four highest average attendances in the Championship and are meeting in the play-offs for the first time.

Don't mean to downplay what sounds like a grim situation for nice people, but what sort of mould can't be killed with a good spraying with bleach?
That's a good question, Soundings. The serious kind that home insurance doesn't cover. I can find out the specific details.
The type that gives you lung cancer and makes your kids sick (from the sounds of it).
Have you never watched extreme makeover: home edition???
There's mould that a good spray of bleach just won't get rid…alot includes the use of biohazard suits and special treatment…it's not good and can cause serious health problems.
a good steam cleaner is your only man. you'd have to do it a few times though and keep on top of it. mould is a symptom of greater issue of condensation and poor ventilation though.
Mould can be extremely serious and detrimental to health. I knew someone who had same problem in an apartment in Smithfield and it almost cost him his sanity – plus a few teeth and two years of bad health before he found the cause and moved out.
Most mould isn't killed by bleach. It just turns it white so you can't see it anymore.
Nigela, I would be interested in your source on that. I can tell that building maintenance diplomas teach students that diluted bleach WILL kill mould (and that you shouldn't wash it as water just encourages growth). Anyway, as explained by Dom below, it's more than just a small patch of mould, the building needs restructuring for whatever reason to deal with dampness. But for the small (say 6 inch squared) patch of mould, I would be interested to see if there are sources which say bleach isn't effective.
Why the hell am I Nigela above? that's weird.
To be honest I remember reading it in a book years ago and I've taken it as a truism ever since. For mould, I find vinegar and baking soda effective, albeit with a bit of scrubbing.
I got your reference, and found it v. funny (even if I was the only one, you made me happy).
Be some craic to work with a woman called Dorte. "ya dorte hoor" etc. Hahaha.
Anyway. Small donation going their way. Dorte bastids!
If it's a timber frame house (common in denmark) and the mould has fooked the timber then the house is up against it alright.
As the owner of the house, I can answer Soundings question.
First of all we had no idea of the environment we were living in, the 3 children and my wife had pneumonia and chest infections more or less constantly over the last few years. Up until April 2014 I was away in my truck and only home on weekends but since April I have been home every night and I also have had pneumonia a couple of times. So while my wife was in hospital recovering from her lung cancer op, I decided to get the technological institute out to check the house. They advised we move out that day.
The basement was fully infected with mould also the attic. The gable end of the house all of the way up was also but it was concealed by wall units and cladding. We couldn't see it.
Recommendations were to dig the basement up and damp proof it, also 2 meters down outside around the house and put in drainage and pumps. Ventilation in basement. In the attic, remove all insulation , chemically clean all the mould, replace insulation and ventilation.
Damp proof the gable wall where there used to be a house before. New kitchen and take down inside walls and build up again.
It will cost between 70000-90000 euro to fix this properly, the house cost about 100000. The other recommendation was to knock it down. So we basically have lost our house. The house has been there for over 100 years and has always been dry, they believe that the ground water table has risen plus the removal of an adjoining house has caused it.
Our friends have been so kind to help us, we would never or never have asked for help, but on this album occasion I'm afraid I have no choice but to accept all the help I can get.
We have been out of the house five weeks now and all of us are well. My son Lukey has been to kindergarten a full four weeks now, the longest he has been before was two weeks and two days without being sick.
I hope this answers the question. Bleach won't do it, if it did I don't think the danish media would be too interested.
Thanks for these comments Dom. I am having a problem with mould in my home at the moment but it pales into insignificance compared to this. I will be making some sort of donation and I hope it will be sorted out for you.
Hi Dom, first and last, I'm sorry to hear about you and your family's predicament. Thank God you have identified the problem and that the health of the family is improving. It sounds like a building nightmare, and I can personally commiserate with you, having owned an older home with ventilation, mould and damp proofing issues (though the mould was nothing compared with what you describe above).
As is stated above in the article, the immediate issue is with funding, and I hope people are generous towards you and your family, best wishes to you all.
Thank you. This really knocked us, really all we care about now is our health, especially the children.
Fair play to ya Sheila, and good luck to Dorte and co.
Any way of getting the donate section in English?
Can your browser translate it? Chrome usually prompts to translate a site in another language.

Just What Do We Mean by Reform? Part Two in a Series on Race and Policing
Updated: 17 May 2015
Posted in: Criminal Law
My last column was the first installment in a series on policing and race. I took a look at the "zero tolerance" policy implemented by the Baltimore Police Department from 1999-2007, which led Baltimore's finest to stop and arrest hundreds of thousands of residents for the most trivial violations. As I explained, "zero tolerance" systematically misallocates police resources. Officers descend on the many citizens who commit trivial infractions, but largely ignore the few who commit the most serious violations. The result is simultaneously too much and too little policing.
But this misallocation is not remotely the most serious problem with "zero tolerance." Far more importantly, it poisons the relationship between the community and the police. The person stopped knows full well that the treatment he is routinely forced to endure would not happen if he lived in white neighborhoods, where "zero tolerance" policies are not imposed because of the lower incidence of violent crime. Yet he also knows his mistreatment will do virtually nothing to reduce that crime. He is thus subjected to repeated humiliations for no good reason, which leads predictably to mistrust and animosity.
Conceivably, policies like "zero tolerance" might be less toxic in a community with a long history of mutually supportive relationships between the police and the people they serve. Such a history can produce a collective memory of good will as well as a large and informal network of positive relationships, all of which can help the police and community weather the storm of a misguided policy. This is just another way of saying that healthy relationships are more resilient than unhealthy ones. That, however, is not Baltimore's history. "Zero tolerance" was imposed on a community that was already deeply mistrustful of its police.
Yet notwithstanding Baltimore's recent and extended experience with law enforcement, I ended my last column on a hopeful note. Don't give up on Baltimore, I implored. Reformers are at the helm. I should add here the personal note I should've included in my last column: I was born and raised in Maryland and think Baltimore is—or could be—one of the finest cities in the country.
So let's talk about reform. What does it mean? I hadn't thought I would write about this, but after my last column appeared, several people wrote with some skepticism. Many people, myself included, link crime to an array of deeply embedded structural conditions that produce unequal economic opportunity, political power, and social capital. All of these conditions have deep historic roots in this country, and in combination, they create environments where crime can flourish. From that starting point, many argue with great force that true criminal justice reform is impossible unless it is accompanied by a meaningful change in the structural realities of the inner city.
President Obama expressed this precise view when he spoke about the unrest in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray:
This is not new. This has been going on for decades. And without making any excuses for criminal activities that take place in these communities, we also know if you have impoverished communities that have been stripped away of opportunity, where children are born into abject poverty, [where] it's more likely that those kids end up in jail or dead than . . . go to college, and . . . there are no fathers who can provide guidance to young men . . . , and manufacturing's been stripped away, and drugs have flooded the community . . . if we think that we're just going to send the police to do the dirty work of containing the problems that arise there without, as a nation … saying what can we do to change those communities to help lift up those communities and give those kids opportunity, then we're not going to solve this problem . . . .
Is reform of this sort possible? To get some sense for the magnitude of the problem, consider the groundbreaking study recently published by two Harvard economists, who examined the relationship between geography and economic mobility for children raised in the 100 largest counties in the country. The authors found that poor children were most likely to escape poverty in counties with five characteristics: "less segregation by income and race, lower levels of income inequality, better schools, lower rates of violent crime, and a larger share of two-parent households."
Given this finding, we should not be surprised that the authors also found that counties with a large black population "tend to have lower rates of upward mobility." And where do children fare the worst? Summarizing the results, the Washington Post observed that, "among the nation's 100 largest counties, the one where children face the worst odds of escaping poverty is the city of Baltimore."
Does criminal justice reform tackle these systemic, structural inequities in American society? It does not. Apart from a small minority, criminal justice reformers in the United States today are focused quite narrowly on different aspects of the criminal justice system and are emphatically not part of a larger campaign for social justice of the sort envisioned by President Obama. Maybe they should expand their horizons; maybe, for instance, they should build and sustain links to the gathering campaign to redress income inequality. I happen to believe they should, but that's a different question that I will address in another column. The fact is, they haven't.
So let me be as clear as I can: If criminal justice reform requires that we eliminate the conditions that produce results like those uncovered by the Harvard economists—if it means creating genuine economic opportunity in the inner cities, improving the schools and public services, repairing the infrastructure, overcoming class and racial discrimination, and ending hyper-segregation—then criminal justice reform is dead in the water.
In light of this, how can anyone be hopeful about criminal justice reform? Can we really expect positive change as long as growing up in Baltimore and cities like it effectively consigns young people—especially boys—to a life of poverty? Under these circumstances, is a certain amount of anger, despair, and frustration that periodically erupts in violence—not to mention crime—really that surprising?
These criticisms are entirely fair. Yet I am nonetheless hopeful, for two reasons. First, in working on my book on criminal justice reform, I have spoken with advocates and activists all over the country who dedicate themselves to improving some aspect of the system. And if I have learned anything from the many interviews I have conducted, it is that participants have an acute sense for what is politically possible. Most of them would rather see transformative change in American society, but they recognize that advocating for such change is a non-starter that will scare off many of the politicians and conservatives that have only recently climbed aboard the reform train. As a result, they seek the reforms that are attainable.
And to be fair, those reforms are not insignificant, particularly in the area of police procedure. The experience of the past 20 years has taught us that reformers can adopt a range of practices that will dramatically reduce violent crime while improving relations between the police and communities of color. (I had originally planned to write about these practices, but that will have to wait for the next column.) To be sure, these practices do not change the structural realities of American life. They do not end hyper-segregation, fix the public schools, or bring good jobs back to the inner city. But it is nonetheless a good thing when streets are safer and communities are more trustful of the police. It is a good thing when misguided policies like "zero tolerance" are replaced with practices that support rather than demonize the community.
Second, and more importantly, we can reorient and reconceive the criminal justice system in a way that will work even more dramatic reforms. In the space remaining in this column, I can only hint at this vision, but I will return to it later. The biggest mistake we have made in the criminal justice system is to construct it as a contest between the state and the defendant. Since the state makes the rules, whenever it feels threatened, it will tilt the playing field in its favor. In a nutshell, that describes the course of the past 45 years, when we have systematically made it easier for the state to arrest, prosecute, convict, and punish those believed to have broken the law. And because this system is ubiquitous, those who protest can generally find no other language for their objection than a demand that the field be tilted in the other direction.
But what if we think of the criminal justice system in an entirely different way? The overwhelming majority of crime is local. Someone does something against the person or property of another, who most likely lives or works nearby. Often, the victim and offender know each other and come from the same community. So, if we focus on how crime actually works, the most relevant actors are: the victim; the defendant; and the community from which they both hale.
Recognizing this, the goal of the criminal justice system should be to hold the offender accountable, repair the community, and make the victim whole. The state's principal role in this process should be to advance these goals. The state's interest, in other words, is not primary; it is secondary to the interests of the people most prominently touched by crime. The state, therefore, is a servant to the people, and not a master with an independent interest that demands vindication. The machinery of the criminal justice system does not have a life of its own. It exists only to serve the interconnected interests of the victim, the defendant, and the community.
I will elaborate on this vision in future columns, but if "reform" means reorienting the criminal justice system in this way, and particularly reconceiving the role of the state, the consequences can be profound. No longer can the state devise its enforcement and prosecution strategies without regard to the interests of the community. No longer can the state impose sentences that, in practice, work a second injury on the victim, or punish the offender beyond what is needed to hold him accountable. No longer can the state impose burdens on the offender that make it impossible for him to become a productive member of the community upon his release from prison. All of these are illegitimate if the state is the servant of the people.
Reform undoubtedly means different things to different people. But even within the limits of American life, meaningful reform of the criminal justice system is possible, if we have the will to seize the moment.

The harsh reality is that the widely-esteemed BBC is in actuality the disinformation arm of the British Government and has an appalling record of censorship, lying by commission and lying by omission in support of continuing British and US crimes against humanity, as recorded by "Censorship by the BBC". The Australian ABC has a similar appalling record of censorship and lying.
This UK, BBC and Australian ABC censorship is most notable in relation to the 9-11 atrocity (3,000 dead) and the subsequent Zionist-backed, US-led War on Terror (9 million post-9-11 war-related deaths including violent deaths and avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation in Libya, Somalia, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan; Google "Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide"). This is exampled below by the complete BBC and ABC censorship of Dr Niels Harrit, the Danish scientist who together with his colleagues found unexploded nano-thermite high explosive in all samples of the World Trade Center (WTC) dust examined.
Professor Niels Harrit is a distinguished Danish chemist from the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, who with his international colleagues found compelling chemical physics-based evidence for unexploded nano-thermite high explosive in all samples of the World Trade Center (WTC) dust examined, this in turn providing compelling evidence for explosive demolition of the 3 WTC buildings (the Twin Towers and WTC7) and hence for US Government involvement in the 9-11 atrocity (see Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer, Steven E. Jones, Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg Roberts, James R. Gourley, Bradley R. Larsen, "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe, The Open Chemical Physics Journals, vol.2, pp.7-31 (25), 2009).
However a BBC Search for "niels harrit" yields zero (0) results and an ABC Search for the phrase "neils harrit" only yields 1 relevant result as compared to a Google Search result of 244,000 URLs. This solitary ABC article does not itself refer to Niels Harrit but this distinguished Danish scientist is mentioned in its comment thread by one of numerous listeners (Max on 16 April 2010 at 4.56 pm) commenting on this ABC Radio National program called Counterpoint on which the ABC and Clive Williams (Adjunct Professor at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, Australian National University) criticized theories other than the "official story" for what happened on 9-11 (see "Terrorism and conspiracy theories", Radio National, Counterpoint, 12 April 2010).
Below is a summary from a peer-reviewed, international chemical physics journal of what BBC and the Neocon American and ABC do not want their audiences to see, know about or think about.
Professor Niels Harrit and colleagues in their scientific paper in a peer-reviewed journal reported discovery of unexploded nanothermite in all World Trade Center (WTC) dust samples studied (2009): "We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic… having observed unignited thermitic material in the WTC residue, we suggest that other energetic materials suitable for cutter charges or explosives should also be looked for in the WTC dust. NIST [National Institute of Standards and Technology] has admitted that they have not yet looked for such residues… Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnolgy, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material." .
William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) was hanged for collaborating with the Nazis as a journalist during World War 2. However no civilized people would suggest the same punishment for the so-called journalists of the BBC and the ABC who are variously complicit in the atrocities of the US War on Muslims (about 12 million war-related violent deaths and avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation since 1990; about 9 million such Muslim deaths since 9-11 in the US War on Terror; for the shocking details not reported by the BBC and the ABC simply Google "Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide"). However these genocide-ignoring and genocide-complicit BBC and ABC journalists should be brought to account and a humane course of action simply involving expert exposure of their crimes is suggested by Dr Mahathir Mohamad (former PM of Malaysia and responsible for an under-5 year old infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 births in Malaysia as compared to 5 and 8 in the UK and US, respectively; as reported by WHO ).
Dr. Mahathir suggested a non-government, non-UN war crimes tribunal of eminent World citizens (akin to the War Crimes Tribunal on Iraq that included brilliant, humanitarian Indian writer Arundhati Roy), as reported by the Perdana Global Peace Organization: "The former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad hosted the conference and won applause yesterday for calling for the leaders to be tried by an unofficial tribunal for war crimes in Iraq. He said the war had caused more terror than al-Qaeda."We should not hang Blair if the tribunal finds him guilty, but he should always carry the label 'War Criminal, Killer of Children, Liar'," said Dr Mahathir in a speech illustrated by pictures of wounded children, deformed babies and tortured men. "And so should Bush and the pocket Bush of the Bushland of Australia," he said, referring to the Australian Prime Minister, John Howard." (see Dr Gideon Polya, "Can children save the world's children", Countercurrents, 10 October 2009 and "Malaysia's PM labels Bush, Blair as war criminals", People's Daily, 6 February 2007).
Holocaust-ignoring is far, far worse than repugnant holocaust denial because the latter at least admits the possibility of public discussion. One notes that holocaust denial in relation to the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million dead, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation, 1941-1945) has been criminalized in some European countries, of which some have extended custodial punishment of holocaust denial to denial of the Armenian Genocide (1.5 million killed, 1915-1923). Freedom of speech and freedom of scholarly inquiry argue against custodial or financial penalties for holocaust denial – the punishment should simply be the disgrace of public exposure. Holocaust-ignoring, holocaust-complicit, genocide-ignoring and genocide-complicit BBC and ABC journalists should be brought to account and punished simply by the ignominy of public exposure of the truth they are suppressing, ideally by a distinguished, authoritative, international tribunal.

Most Anticipated Movies in 2009
Screening Forward
While I'm waiting for my Oscar Winner movie to be downloaded, I thought of something I need to post on my blog today. Since I ran out of things to write about, maybe I could share to you my top 9 most anticipated movies for the year 2009. Read on and watch the trailers and teasers of these movies to see which of them would top the box office.
Fast and Furious - April 3
Bringing back the original stars of this franchise built on speed. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel joins Michelle Rodriguez and others to show off exotic cars, run and chase back to the streets where it all began. From the streets of Los Angeles through the Mexican desert, they will burn the roads with this high speed action-thriller at number 9.
Watchmen - March 6
At number 8 is a movie based on a famous DC Comic series. A complicated mystery adventure that involves Rorschach - a masked vigilante, discovering a troubling conspiracy about a group of people whose mission is to watch over humanity. Starring Patrick Wilson and others.
Angels & Demons - May 15
From the team that brought "The Da Vinci Code" comes the much awaited prequel from the bestselling author Dan Brown. At number 7, Tom Hanks plays Robert Langdon again in discovering sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals and a 400 year old trail of ancient symbols that will be Vatican's only hope for survival. Against whom? An ancient secret brotherhood and the most powerful underground organization in history - The Illuminatti.
G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra - August 7
I once played these action figures way back when I was a kid and now they're on the big screen. The elite G.I. Joes used state of the art spy and military equipments to prevent a crooked arms dealer Destro and his growing threat of the Cobra Organization to manipulate chaos in the world. Dennis Quiad plays Duke and directed by Stephen Sommers ("The Mummy", "The Mummy Returns"), G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra goes at number 6.
2012 - November 13
As predicted by the Mayan Calendar, 2012 is when the world ends. At number 5, 2012 is a date that is very significant to so many cultures, religions and scientists that would bring an epic adventure of the struggles made by the survivors. Starring John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson among others.
Astroboy - October 23
At number 4, Astroboy flies and reaches the big screen with this animated film. A story of a robot with incredible powers that he used to save everything he cares about. Created by Tenma(voiced by Nicolas Cage) to embrace his destiny as a hero.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - May 1
X-Men Origins: Wolverine comes in at number 3 with none other than Hugh Jackman playing the lead role. It tells the story of the violent, romantic and complex roots of the X-Men character involving Victor Creed and the Weapon X Project. Other familiar, old and new X-Men characters will also participate in this movie making it more action packed.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - June 24
The second installment of The Transformers franchise is on number 2. This explosive sequel will join Sam Witwicky(Shia Lebeouf) and the Autobots to engage in a war against their nemesis, The Decepticons. I hope there will be more Autobot and Decepticon characters in this much awaited sequel.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - July 17
The 6th installment of the most popular wizard, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is my number 1 most anticipated movie. Harry Potter struggles to fight Voldemort and the Deatheaters as his friends are also busy with their own issues. A death of a main character would change Hoggwarts forever. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

Sheep dogs each have a different whistle (from the shepherd); they know their whistle and immediately respond to it.
The shepherd has worked so closely with the sheep dogs since they were pups, that they're able to work together seamlessly as a unit, like fingers of the same hand, herding the sheep left or right toward a common goal, or bringing them in for shearing. It's absolutely incredible to watch the electric synergy.
A true sheep dog never retires; they love to work. We witnessed a blind dog and a lame dog jumping to their feet to help bring in the sheep. You could see the pride and purpose reflected in their posture and excited countenance. According to the shepherd, if you retire a dog, he will soon wither away and die. His work is literally his life.
As I watched these faithful dogs in action, I got God-bumps as I recalled scripture where Jesus, the Good Shepherd, said, in effect, that He wants to have the same type of synergistic relationship with his followers.
That we would know His voice and recognize when He's speaking to us; that we would respond immediately, with our whole selves.
That we would internalize Him as part of ourselves so that the synergy would be seamless as we seek to know and to do His will.
That our work in His name is our very lives. That we never grow weary of bringing souls into His kingdom or touching hearts in His name. Christians never retire.
So what are your thoughts, dear, BBFF (Blessed Blog Friend Forever), about never retiring from your faith? Do you feel that electric synergy with your Savior, or does your sizzle need a little sparking? I'd love to hear from you!

While I was in Hong Kong I took a day trip tour to Shenzhen and Guangzhou in Guangdong province in mainland China. This tour began when our tour guide picked me up at my hotel before continuing on to other hotels to pick up other guests. We arrived that the Central ferry terminal and boarded a high-speed ferry that goes from Hong Kong to the Shekou Industrial Zone in Shenzhen. The ferry ride took about an hour as we went by the New Territories of Hong Kong.
New Territories of Hong Kong from the ferry
As a part of the group tour, the tour company arranged to get us a group visa to China rather than us having to obtain visas individually. Once through the very intense customs in China, we boarded our tour bus and drove through Shenzhen a while until we reached a museum and jewelry store that displayed various jade sculptures and a few terracotta warriors. Shenzhen was China's first special economic zone, which transformed the city from a population of 300,000 in 1980 to 1 million in 1990 to about 11 million today.

From the museum we drove through more of Shenzhen until we reached the zoo. Our bus was able to drive straight into the zoo and directly to the giant panda exhibit. We arrived at the perfect time when no one else was viewing the pandas and they just became active. Unfortunately, the pandas were all we were able to see in the zoo, except for some birds in cages that I saw through the bus windows on the drive out.

Entrance to zoo
We then took the 2+ hour ride from Shenzhen to Guangzhou through Dongguan and the lands between the cities. These three cities are the largest cities in what is sometimes called the Pearl River Delta mega city - so called because the cities surrounding the delta make up the largest metro area in the world with a population estimated around 40 million. The scenery along the drive varied greatly, including small mountains, farmland, cities, and rivers.
In Guangzhou we stopped for a late lunch at a restaurant that our guide referred to as the Lotus Restaurant, although he admitted that that isn't the restaurant's real name. After lunch we walked down a side alley through a market where there were all kinds of things for sale.
Live animals in the market
From the market we boarded the bus and went to the Temple of the Six Banyon Trees. The temple was originally building 537, while the pagoda was originally built in 1097 and rebuilt in 1373 after a fire and restored in 1900.
We then went to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, which is a large octagonal hall built in 1931 that seats over 3,000 people and has an open interior space 233 feet wide.
Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall
On the way to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall
After the hall, we took the bus to one of the train stations in Guangzhou where we went through customs and boarded a high-speed train that goes directly to Hong Kong. The nearly three hour trip from Hong Kong to Guangzhou via ferry and bus was reduced to less than two hours, and this will be even less once the Hong Kong portion of the line is upgraded to support high-speed rail.

"You have four beautiful angels with you, and you aren't even communicating with them!" These were the words of another psychic at a psychic fayre I was working at several years ago. I had never met him prior to this particular event, and he shouted those words at me as I was walking through the entrance towards my designated work table, to get ready to set up.
And he was so right. As much as I still vividly recalled my vision of angels when I was nine years old, and as much as I was using angel cards in my own readings, and constantly telling my client aware of the angels all around us, I hadn't been speaking much with my own angelic team.
The two of us subsequently became quite friendly, and he was the medium through whom my angels were telling me off in no uncertain terms. I was taught that our angels are there to assist us, and to offer us protection. However, they will not interfere with our free will and it's said that they are really delighted when we do call upon them for assistance.
It was only shortly after my psychic friend berated me, that I invoked angelic assistance urgently. We'd recently rescued a kitten. She'd been very sickly and housebound for several weeks. The vet didn't think she'd survive, but she beat the odds and once she was allowed out, she was ready to explore. Unfortunately, one of those initial exploratory ventures took her over our high wall, ducking under electric fencing and into the neighbor's garden.
The next door property's garden was in darkness during the owner's absence. With ladder and torch, I could see that there was no ledge or tree on the other side of our high wall, which might give our kitten some leverage to find her way back. I kept on calling her, and she pathetically kept on meowing back at me.
I invoked the help of my angel posse. I recalled seeing them at nine years of age: about seven feet tall, clad in white, androgynous and spanning magnificent wings. I prayed for their assistance and handed my problem over to them, because I didn't know what to do anymore.
Voila! Ten minutes later, our kitten literally popped back over the wall. Yes, she had a small burn mark on her nose from the electric fence, but she was fine and she never went over into that garden again.
At a later date, in daylight, from inside the neighbor's garden, I scrutinized that wall for a ledge or point of leverage which could have helped our tiny cat get back over the wall that night, but there was nothing which could have helped her, so I know there had been some angelic intervention.
I never spoke about this little miracle until now. After all, would anybody believe me?
With practice we are able to invoke the assistance of our angelic helpers quickly. My vision of angels may not necessarily be how you would see yours, but that's okay. They will present themselves to you in your mind's eye, just as they would want you to perceive them. We need to accept that they are willing and ready to help us.
You might choose to ask for help with some pressing matter, or for inspiration. I have often asked for protection from potential danger, and even asked the archangels for assistance in calling in a particular guardian angel I feel is working with me at that particular time.
Before you start, and time permitting, it helps to do a basic relaxation exercise. Close your eyes. Roll your head and shoulders around, and do some stretching. Take a few deep breaths, and relax.
I envision Archangel Michael to my right, representing love and protection.
I envision Archangel Gabriel to my left, helping me to dissolve fear and doubt.
I envision Archangel Raphael behind me, giving me healing energy and strength.
I envision Archangel Uriel in front of me, helping me to concentrate and understand the motivation of others.
I envision Archangel Ariel above me for specific assistance, because I am invoking help with animals (Archangel Ariel oversees the protection and healing of animals and plants).
With these beautiful beings around me, I feel a strong circle of protection, and I feel the circle itself turning and spiraling to give a complete 360 degree of loving protection.
I thank each Archangel in turn, trusting, as always they have been right there when I needed them!

Monardella stebbinsii is a rare species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common names Feather River monardella and Stebbins' monardella. It is endemic to Plumas County, California, where it is known from only about ten occurrences along the North Fork of the Feather River in the High Sierra. It is a member of the serpentine soils flora in rocky mountain habitat.

Description
Monardella stebbinsii is a perennial herb forming a mat or clump of densely hairy stems. The purple-gray hairy leaves are oval in shape and arranged oppositely on the stems. The inflorescence is a head of several flowers blooming in a small cup of leathery purplish bracts. The pink flowers are between 1 and 2 centimeters long.

Researchers have demonstrated that organizations operating within formal networks are more likely to experience knowledge transfer, and the associated benefits of knowledge transfer, than would organizations operating outside of a network. However, limited research attention has been given to how the established antecedents of knowledge transfer are affected by the different forms that multi-organizational networks can assume. Using two case studies, we develop six testable propositions regarding how three of the established antecedents of knowledge transfer —absorptive capacity, shared identity and causal ambiguity—would be affected by the different characteristics, which define multi-organizational network form. We discuss these propositions and raise issues of relevance for researchers and practitioners.

Man pleads guilty in attack on Pa. teacher
MEDIA, Pa. (AP) - A man has pleaded guilty after police say he attacked a teacher at a Philadelphia-area high school with a hammer and stole a computer. The Delaware County Daily Times reports (
http://bit.ly/1eaDeJU
) 19-year-old Upper Darby resident Darlington James entered Upper Darby High School on Feb. 19 and knocked on a classroom door. Investigators say the teacher opened it and James beat her with a hammer before stealing a computer. He was arrested nearby. Investigators say James, who isn't a student, was involved in a similar incident at the middle school in January. His arrest also led to a third robbery charge being filed after police say he attacked and robbed a 16-year-old student in a park. James pleaded guilty Friday to three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated assault. ___ Information from: Delaware County Daily Times,

The Montes Alti Foundation co-financed an International Colloquium on the challenges of education in the XXI century. It was held simultaneously at the University of Geneva and Swissnex Boston, under the auspices of the Center for Curriculum Redesign founded by Charles Fadel. This forum considered the importance of the personality during the life. Indeed, the development of the social and emotional skills of each individual naturally influences their chances of success in terms of education, professional achievement and private life. Teaching this discipline is still a little developed and raising public awareness of its advantages to society still demands a global understanding.


Coverage under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act requires a master-servant relationship between employer and an employee. Crowell v. Bensen, 285 U.S. 22, 54 (1932). The Act defines employee as "any person engaged in maritime employment, including any longshoreman or other person engaged in longshoring operations, and any harbor-worker including a ship repairman, shipbuilder, and ship-breaker." 33 U.S.C. § 902(3). The Act also sets out a long list of potential employees who do not fit the criteria: clerical and secretarial workers, marina workers, fishermen, etc.
Which workers' compensation act applies: the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act or the Jones Act? The Jones Act and the LHWCA are mutually exclusive. Thus, when dealing with a "water-based" (as opposed to "land-based") LHWCA claim, it must be determined if the claim falls within the criteria of LHWCA coverage, or belongs more properly under the Jones Act. Of course, the claim might not belong under either jurisdiction and should be decided under a state workers' compensation act.
Any seaman who shall suffer personal injury in the course of his employment may, at his election, maintain an action for damages at law, with the right of trial by jury, ... and in case of the death of any seaman as a result of any such personal injury the personal representative of such seaman may maintain an action for damages at law with the right of trial by jury. ... Jurisdiction in such actions shall be under the court of the district in which the defendant employer resides or in which his principal office is located.
The LHWCA set forth the requirements for coverage. "Status" refers to the nature of the work performed; "situs" refers to the place of performance.
The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act provides for medical benefits and disability benefits to an injured worker. An injured employee is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical, surgical, and hospital treatment and other medical supplies and services required by the work-related injury or illness, such as prescription medications, diagnostic tests, physical therapy, prostheses, hearing aids, attendant care, and the cost of travel for such treatment. An injured employee is entitled to select a physician of his/her choice to provide medical treatment for the work injury.
33 U.S.C. § 912(a)33 U.S.C. § 912(c)Lewis v. Todd Pacific Shipyards Corp.Morin v. Bath Iron Works Corp.Shaller v. Cramp Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.Thompson v. Lockheed Shipbuilding & Constr. Co.
