Ethical and tax implications of gift giving in depositions

The mounting campaign to fight gift giving gained national attention last month when the California Court Reporters Association and the Deposition Reporters Association of California obtained a legal opinion from the prestigious law firm of Hanson Bridgett warning law firms and court reporting firms that the way they book depositions may spell trouble with the Internal Revenue Service.
The opinion coincided with the citation of a nationwide court reporting firm for violating California Court Reporters Board statutes.
On a national front, the Ethics First Committee of the National Court Reporters Association escalated its campaign to educate the entire nationwide legal community about the pitfalls of unethical gift giving, while at the same time recognizing those deposition agencies who embrace NCRA's Code of Professional Ethics. Sandy Vanderpol, co-chair of the Ethics First Committee, writes that NCRA's Ethics First Program urges law firms, "When selecting your deposition reporter, please consider using an "Ethics First" participating deposition firm which can be found at: http://ncraonline.org/ethicsfirst/ethicsfirstfirms/"
The Ethics
The scenarios begin with something like this: An e-mail comes across a legal assistant's inbox offering $200 for every depo you set, an iPad, an iPod, a gift certificate, or an award system applicable towards an exotic vacation.
So what? Offers of gifts and award points are nothing new. E-mails from retail stores, airlines, hotels and restaurants lure customers like this all the time. The employee, who's accustomed to this type of gift, might say what's the big deal -- every industry competes this way.
What is the big deal? It's simple: A certified shorthand reporter from any state is an officer of the court, a neutral officer of the court, as is a judge, a clerk and a bailiff. In California and in other states, Certified Shorthand Reporters are statutorily prohibited under the codes of professional conduct from giving gifts to clients or potential clients in excess of $100 in the aggregate per person or entity per year. And Registered Professional Reporters certified by the National Court Reporters Association must abide by the Code of Professional Ethics, which prohibit the same gift-giving activity.
You would be shocked if a judge accepted gifts, kickbacks, or rebates to influence his or her decision.
Suppose your client prevails at trial, and you are now seeking reimbursement for expenses. The other side finds out that your assistant accepted an iPad, among other things, for booking depositions. Maybe the court reporting firm is known for such luring incentives. You may find yourself in the uncomfortable position of having to reduce the amount of reimbursable expenses equal to the amount your office received.
Suppose a dispute arises between two legal assistants over who gets the free Caribbean vacation offered by a court reporting firm. One of them scheduled enough depos to qualify for the vacation but takes a leave of absence. The substitute assistant continues to accumulate the points and takes the tickets. Who is the rightful owner of the free vacation? Legal assistant 1, legal assistant 2, the lawyer who conducted the depositions, the client, or the insurance company, who ultimately paid the court reporting fees in the first place?
These perplexing questions raise ethical issues that began with the emergence of nationwide court reporting firms.
Here's the history: A conglomerate of business people – could be lawyers -- buy up court reporting firms from different states. Their principal place of business is outside of your state. They're not Certified Shorthand Reporters licensed by your state or Registered Professional Reporters of the National Court Reporters Association. So, to grab as much business as they can, they set up elaborate gift-giving schemes designed to lure employees of law firms to book business.
Here's the problem: They didn't think about the unintended tax and legal consequences to the unwitting recipient or giver of the gift.
The Tax and Legal Implications
The California Court Reporters Association and the Deposition Reporters Association of California decided to do something about it. As a result, the Hanson Bridgett firm wrote a detailed legal opinion addressing the tax implications of gift giving by court and deposition reporting firms.
On February 11, 2011, Hanson Bridgett released its opinion. Beginning with a discussion of the tax consequences to recipients, Hanson Bridgett discussed how the gift-giving practice caught the eye of the IRS in 2006 at the Academy Awards shows. The IRS 's 2006 News Release 128 determined that recipients of gift bags must report the fair market value of the bag and its contents as income.
The Hanson Bridgett memo compares incentives like prepaid gift cards to tips given to employees on the job and subject to reporting and withholding by their employer. It reveals that reporting firms may be incorrectly treating the incentives they give to law firms as a deduction.
Illegal incentive gift giving has not been overlooked by the California Court Reporters Board of California. This Department of Consumer Affairs agency, which is charged with policing the deposition profession, cited and fined US Legal for offering a so-called "gift" that exceeded the Board's limit of $100.

The thread between California law and the IRS begins under California Code of Regulations, the Court Reporters Board of California may suspend, revoke or deny certification of a shorthand reporter for directly or indirectly giving any gift, incentive, reward or anything with a value exceeding $100 in aggregate during a calendar year to any person or entity associated with a proceeding being reported.
Corporations engaged in court reporting services are not exempt just because they are not licensed court reporters. In the view of the California Court Reporters Board, these corporations are subject to the statutes and regulations governing licensees, and failure to adhere to these statues constitutes a misdemeanor. The Internal Revenue Service violation comes in at this juncture because if a court reporting corporation is found to have committed a misdemeanor that violates the Business & Professions Code, Internal Revenue Code Section 162(c) (2) can kick in.
Hanson Bridgett's analysis of incentives as kickbacks exposes the court reporting firm to criminal penalty or loss of license or privilege to engage in business, and, therefore, subject to a violation of Internal Revenue Code Section 162 (c) (2) (See IRC Section 162(c) (2).)
They reached that conclusion based on California law. And a careful look of your state law may arrive at the same conclusion. "Under California Code of Regulations, the Court Reporters Board of California may suspend, revoke or deny certification of a shorthand reporter for directly or indirectly giving any gift, incentive, reward or anything with a value exceeding $100 in aggregate during a calendar year to any person or entity associated with a proceeding being reported. Corporations engaged in court reporting services are not exempt just because they are not licensed court reporters. In the view of the California Court Reporters Board, these corporations are subject to the statutes and regulations governing licensees, and failure to adhere to these statues constitutes a misdemeanor. Thus, if a Court Reporting corporation is found to have committed a misdemeanor that violates the Business & Professions Code, IRC Section 162(c) (2) can kick in."
In a letter written to this author, Attorney Jed Peace Friedland summarizes: "After reading your article, 'Dollars for Depos: A Risky Business,' which appeared in the San Francisco Daily Journal, I'd like to commend you. It mirrors my own sentiments. I've been on a rant about this subject in private discussions with numerous attorneys who consistently utilize poor quality court reporters either because they are blinded by a treasure trove of perceived 'freebies' or because someone harbors an undisclosed addiction to… the fleeting taste of Dom Perignon. If they check their transcripts and bills closely, they'll certainly think again before offhandedly booking court reporting services for such self-serving reasons."

Saint Louis School safety Marcus Umu signs his national letter of intent with the University of Hawai'i in ceremonies at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.
University of Hawai'i head football coach Greg McMackin said he's "excited about this class" of recruits.
Kamehameha's Beau Yap reminds UH defensive line coach Dave Aranda as "a raw John Fonoti" a former Warrior.
Defensive lineman Desmond Dean of Tyler High in Texas, "has all the potential in the world," says Aranda.
Finally, defensive end Beau Yap of Kamehameha Schools was ready to exhale.
"I feel relieved right now, getting this recruiting process off my back," said Yap, The Advertiser's co-Defensive Player of the Year, after signing a letter of intent with the University of Hawai'i football team yesterday morning. "I can be a kid again."
Yap's signing — one of 26 by future Warriors — completed a whirlwind week in which Yap committed to Baylor, de-committed to the Waco, Texas, school, and then pledged to the alma mater of his father, Boyd Yap, the 1979 state Player of the Year.
"It's terrific," Boyd Yap said. "He's going to have a great time."
Beau Yap said: "I grew up as a UH fan. I'm proud to be going there."
Yap decided on UH while traveling from Oregon State, where he took a weekend recruiting trip.
"I woke up (during the flight), and it kind of hit me: I couldn't leave home."
He added: "Nothing can beat Hawai'i. The comfort level is so high. It was hard for me to say 'no' to (Baylor), but Hawai'i is the only place for me."
Yesterday was the first day football prospects were permitted to sign binding commitment letters.
The Warriors, who began piecing together this class two years ago, encountered no surprises as commitments were faxed to the Mānoa campus.
Although a scholarship was reserved for Farrington High defensive end VJ Fehoko (signed with Utah), the third son of UH's mascot, the Warrior coaches did not anticipate his commitment and, in fact, already filled their pass-rushing needs.
Entering the offseason, the Warriors sought defensive ends, offensive linemen, cornerbacks and receivers.
They signed four rush ends, five blockers — a sixth, if they were to count grayshirt Jordan Loeffler, who is enrolled in school — two play-making corners, and four speedy receivers.
UH coach Greg McMackin dismissed talk of the lack of four-star recruits, insisting that he valued his staff's evaluation of talent over scouting-service rankings.
"I'm excited about this class," McMackin said.
"It's chicken-skin time," Kapolei High linebacker Tu'ulauena Lolohea said after signing his letter. "It feels good to finally get it written down. I'm ready to play for Hawai'i."
Quarterbacks coach Nick Rolovich: "He's unselfish. He wants to win. Physically, he's a good athlete. The best thing about him is the catch-ability of his passes. And his accuracy. He has a lot of natural tools that will make him special down the road."
"At the All-Poly camp, Sean was the guy everybody's eyes were going to him. At the time, he was 6-5 and about 235. A great athlete. He really stood out in that camp. He's 6-6, 250 now, and starts on the basketball team, starts on the volleyball. He has tremendous upside. He's going to be one of those tackles who's played here and gone on to play in the NFL."
"People will first notice (Sampson) has world-class speed. But his personality and the person he is will make him a great teammate. He's going to make an immediate impact on our kick return. We have to try to get the ball in his hands to make something happen."
"(Yap) reminds me of a raw John Fonoti. He has a natural get-off. His explosiveness and his hips are a natural gift."
"The most positive things about (Katina) are his work ethic, his character, and his ability to understand what is required of him. He should be an outstanding defensive end."
"Same thing with Friel. At the (UH coaches camp), he was 220 pounds. He's 260 right now. Both of those guys, in a year, will be 280. We feel they're active, tall, longer than some of the tackles."
"T.J. is another tall, rangy kind of player, like Zach is. He's not afraid to make contact. Defensively, you want guys who like to make contact. He wants to get there, and put a helmet where you want to put it. He has all of the skills and athleticism."
Safeties coach Chris Tormey: "We had Marcus in (the coaches) camp last June, and we were really impressed with his ball skills. He must have had eight or 10 interceptions in the three days we worked with him. He has good instincts, and he showed good toughness. He has excellent size. He has great growth potential."
Aranda: "I think John can help us right away, in terms of blocking kicks. Everywhere John has been, he's won. Everything that John has wanted to do, he's done. He's one of those guys. He has a magic touch to him. He has the height we want at corner. Our conference is a running conference, no doubt about it. We have to load the (tackle) box to play the run. Every team has that one receiver who has jump-ball possibilities. I think height at corner was a need, and he fits that need."
Tormey: "Dee was the top cornerback prospect in the state of Washington this past year. He was highly regarded. He comes from one of the very best high school programs in the state of Washington. They're going to be top-5 in the state every year, and they have Division I players every year. Great background there. He played at a high level. Fundamentally, he's very sound. Good feet. Good hands. Breaks on the ball well."
"Bubba is a great athlete. He can play receiver or DB. He played quarterback this past season. He's really in a similar mode to Siaki. He's a super, super athlete. He's a force with the ball in his hand. As a junior, he played safety. We're going back and forth on him in the office. He's a guy who can go either way."


Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry on Wednesday challenged the idea that man-made global warming is what's causing climate change. John Weaver, chief strategist for fellow presidential aspirant Jon Huntsman, followed up with an attack on Perry's view — and front-runner Mitt Romney's to boot, The Washington Post reports.
Weaver responded in an interview with the Post, "We're not going to win a national election if we become the anti-science party. The American people are looking for someone who lives in reality and is a truth-teller, because that's the only way that the significant problems this country faces can be solved.
"It appears that the only science that Mitt Romney believes in is the science of polling, and that science clearly was not a mandatory course for Governor Perry," Weaver added.

What is Ever Truly Resolved by an Argument?
When I really stop and try to think of a time that arguing has ever solved any kind of problem I truly can not think of an example. Even if someone gets their way by arguing what is really won when hostility and harsh feelings are left behind? There is nothing that cools the flames of anger any better than love. Love given when the person on the receiving end may be far from deserving of it. Love is the only power that can break down the walls of bitterness. Our human nature wants to always be right, but what is the cost? Our pride can cost us our family, friends, employment, reputation, blessings in life, and the list goes on.
Holding our tongue and showing love instead of anger is the greatest problem solving solution I have ever know to actually work. Maybe because it is God's solution to conflict…LOVE!
Words are so powerful. Words of anger cause problems. Words of love solves them.

Newton's laws of motion work very well at low speeds compared to c, the speed of light. The theory of relativity on the other hand, explores the effects of motion at high speeds approaching that of the speed of light. Measurement of these effects depends on the frame of reference to which measurements were made. Thus, in order to describe the motion of any object, we must adopt a frame of reference from which to observe the motion. Earth is the most commonly used frame of reference where we assume it to be stationary and measure all positions of a moving object relative to some origin and set of axes fixed on Earth.
The central concept of this chapter is to understand that many different frames of reference exist and that the effects of motion will be seen differently relative to each of these reference frames.
Understanding that any frame of reference in which the law of inertia holds is referred to as an inertial frame of reference.
Knowing that a noninertial frame is one that is accelerating relative to an inertial frame.
Being able to conceptualize the idea that there is no such thing as an absolute inertial frame of reference or absolute velocity; all of these concepts, including simultaneity are relative.
Review the following concepts using the videos below: the reference frame of Newtonian mechanics, inertial frames of reference and noninertial frames of reference.
The video below shows students explaining frames of reference in a humorous way using real-world examples.
Have students separated into groups of four to five and have them imagine a moving truck with a person standing on top of the truck.
Ask students to imagine that they are standing still on the ground observing the truck with the person speeding by. Assign each group a different question pertaining to what they think the speed of the person would be relative to the ground if the person was moving a) in the same direction as the truck at speed v, b) in the opposite direction of the truck at speed v or c) not moving relative to the truck.
Have groups share their answers with explanations and then lead a class discussion around each groups solutions.
To consolidate the lesson, have students jot down 3 things they have learned about reference frames today on an exit card.

Fairfax Defers Decision on Collective Bargaining
FCPS employees are not part of the ordinance.
Rallying for Collective Bargaining in front of the Fairfax County Government Center.
Following testimony with 64 speakers at the Oct. 5 Public Hearing on a collective bargaining ordinance draft for the members of county employee groups, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors deferred the decision on the matter. In a letter to the Fairfax County Community late that evening, Jeff McKay, chairman of the Board, wrote that members did so to consider "the significant and thorough testimony provided at the meeting."
The new law reversed a 1977 Supreme Court of Virginia ruling. According to Code § 40.1-57.2, Collective Bargaining, effective May 1. 2021, counties, cities, and towns can but are not mandated to adopt ordinances recognizing labor unions and enter into collective bargaining agreements with them.
While verbiage in code read: "County, city, or town" includes any local school board, and "public officers or employees" includes employees of a local school board," the Fairfax County collective bargaining ordinance under consideration did not include Fairfax County Public School employees.
"In fact, absol Rallying for Collective Bargaining in front of the Fairfax County Government Center.utely nothing about this proposed ordinance directly impacts FCPS in any way. If schools enter into an agreement, that is an action the FCPS School Board would take, not our Board of Supervisors," added McKay in the letter.
AN HOUR BEFORE the scheduled start of the Public Hearing on Oct. 5, hundreds of essential Fairfax County workers rallied for collective bargaining in front of the Fairfax County Government Center. Community members and partner organizations included Fairfax County Professional Firefighters & Paramedics - IAFF Local 2068, Fairfax Branch of NAACP, 32BJ SEIU, New Virginia Majority, Catholic Labor Network, Network NOVA, and NOVA Labor Council, as well as the Fairfax Education Association, Inc. (FEA), a union for employees in Fairfax County Public Schools and the Fairfax County Federation of Teachers (FCFT).
David Broder, SEIU Virginia 512 president and Fairfax County resident, spoke first at the rally.
"We are here to pass meaningful, collective bargaining rights and to make Fairfax the best community in the Commonwealth for working families. … We know that collective bargaining raises standards for all people while closing racial and gender pay gaps."
Tilly Blanding is a union member and a retired Fairfax County employee. "We are here to have a seat at the table," she said.
Tammie Wondong Ware, SEIU Virginia 512 Fairfax Chapter president, has worked for Fairfax County for 32 years. She thanked the community partners who attended the rally, saying that their support continued to prove that collective bargaining benefits the common good. "When workers thrive, the community thrives. After months of hard work and negotiation with the county, we have a draft ordinance."
Ware cautioned that three changes are necessary: "One, allow bargaining over the full range of wages, benefits, and working conditions so that we improve our jobs and recruit the best and brightest of Fairfax County. Two, include G status, temporary part-time and probationary employees, to ensure they do have a seat at the negotiations table. Three, ensure that we have access to talk to our co-workers at work so that we can talk about our union and our union contracts."
Ware said that if they don't get it right, the ordinance they had worked so hard to pass would be nothing but an empty gesture on a piece of paper.
DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, County staff said that months of work went into the draft collective bargaining ordinance. The Board created a collective bargaining workgroup, led by Supervisors Penelope Gross and James Walkinshaw. The workgroup included employee group representatives from the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) and General County Government, elected officials from FCPS, County Executive Bryan Hill, FCPS Superintendent Scott Brabrand, and other senior staff members.
The workgroup met twice in February 2021 and once in April 2021. They sought to amend Chapter 3 of the Code of the County of Fairfax, Virginia, County Employees, by adding Article 10, Collective Bargaining, Sections 3-10-1 through 3-10-18. Staff detailed two town halls with employees, a combined attendance of 1,000 employees, published four packets of questions and answers from the Board of Supervisors, and created many frequently asked questions that are on the public website.
Speaker Patrick Booth said he was born in Fairfax County and lived here with his family. "I was not bussed in from out of state or from Richmond this morning, I have the honor of representing working staff for Fairfax County as president of the only internal, not-for-profit union, the Fairfax Workers Coalition," Booth said. He supported collective bargaining, but he said it must include equality for all staff, especially lower staff members. Their pay grade should not dictate the deciding factor of individuals' rights and voices. "Putting these same employees in the same bargaining unit with senior staff is absurd," Booth said.
Sean Corcoran, president of the Fairfax Coalition of Police, said that power dynamics of higher-ranking officers could come into play during collective bargaining. He asked how long lower-ranking officers could push back on contract issues against a person that could potentially fire them.
Rafael Gil-Figueroa said the county has no more time to waste. He encouraged the Board to adopt the changes recommended by the unions and pass meaningful collective bargaining rights for county employees. "We must let employees bargain over working conditions, health, safety, staffing, scheduling, and discipline. We must let employees communicate, talk and meet their union freely in the workplace without fear of retaliation. We cannot divide the workers. All county employees, including temporary workers, should have the right to bargain as a combined unit," he said.
According to the staff report, the FY 2022 Adopted Budget Plan includes $1.0 million and 6.0 FTE positions to support collective bargaining for public employees. This consists of adding $0.5 million and 5.0 FTE positions in the Department of Human Resources and $0.1 million and 1.0 FTE position in the Office of the County Attorney. In addition, $0.3 million in Fringe Benefits funding is included in Agency 89, Employee Benefits. These positions are necessary to address the new workload associated with labor relations, including legal support, policy administration, contract compliance, and system administration.

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health burden with distinct geographic public health significance. Oman is a country with intermediate HBV carrier prevalence; however, little is known about the incidence of HBV variants in circulation. We investigated the HBV genotype distribution, the occurrence of antiviral resistance, and HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) escape mutations in HBsAg-positive patients in Oman. Methods: Serum samples were collected from 179 chronically HBV-infected patients enrolled in various gastroenterology clinics in Oman. HBV genotypes were determined by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Mutations in the HBV polymerase and the HBsAg gene were characterized by mutational analysis. Results: HBV genotypes D (130/170; 76.47%) and A (32/170; 18.28%) are predominant in Oman. The HBV genotypes C and E were less frequent (each 1.18%), while the HBV genotypes B, G, F, and H were not detected. Four patients revealed HBV genotype mixtures (HBV-A/D and D/C). The analyses of vaccine escape mutations yield that 148/170 (87.06%) HBV sequences were wild type. 22/170 (12.94%) HBV sequences showed mutations in the "a" determinant of the HBsAg domain. Two patients showed the described HBV vaccine escape mutation sP120T. 8/146 (5.48%) HBV isolates harbored mutations in the HBV polymerase known to confer resistance against antiviral therapy. Especially the lamivudine resistance mutations rtL180M/rtM204V and rtM204I were detected. Conclusion: This study shows the distribution of HBV genotypes, therapy resistance, and vaccine escape mutations in HBV-infected patients in Oman. Our findings will have a major impact on therapy management and diagnostics of chronic HBV infections in Oman to control HBV infection in this intermediate HBV-endemic country.


Your personality type is ISFP. This is based on your four Preferences: Introversion (I), Sensing (S), Feeling (F) and Perceiving (P).
ISFPs live in the present and yearn for freedom. They are artistic, aesthetically inclined and sensitive. They are happiest when they are being creative and expressing themselves. They are loyal, warm and private. ISFPs are cooperative and adaptable. They seek the balance between closeness and independence.
ISFPs direct their energy inward. They often keep to themselves and are hard to get to know. They are deliberate and independent. They do not like being the center of attention.	As Sensors, Artists process information through their five senses. They appreciate beauty and desire to create it. They live in the moment and are practical.
Artists are Feelers that make decisions with their heart. They are sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. They are gentle.	Artists are adaptable and relaxed. They dislike routine and like to keep their options open. Artists usually have a carefree attitude.
ISFPs are warm and affectionate once they feel comfortable in a relationship. They are offended by people who are domineering and insensitive to other people's feelings. They dislike talking about their relationships and prefer to show they care by being helpful. They do not like feeling manipulated. They value trust and are loyal.
Artists want to make a contribution through their skills and abilities. They enjoy helping others. They are agreeable and easy to get along with. Artists are skilled at using tools and with problem solving. They are artistic and thrive when they are given the freedom to create. Artists like variety in their work. They yearn for compliments on their performance.
Artists are concrete learners. They learn by asking questions and through hands-on experience. With all their senses engaged, they become totally absorbed in the learning process. They learn best in environments that provide variety and artistic outlets.
ISFPs are harmonious, kind and sensitive to the feelings of others. They yearn for freedom to create and express themselves. Their greatest gift is their desire to help and contribute to the well-being of others.
ISFPs make up 6% of all 16 personality types. Of the SP types, ISFPs are the least common (along with ISTPs). ISFPs are the third most common type among Introverts.
1 in every 20 males is an ISFP (5% of all males). 1 in every 14 females is an ISFP (7% of all females). Male ISFPs are one of the least common type-gender combinations.
There are more female ISFPs than there are male ISFPs. Just over 40% of ISFPs are male. One reason there are more female ISFPs is that females tend to be Feelers (F) while males are more often Thinkers (T).
You engage the world through four cognitive functions. Each function is directed outward toward people and surroundings (Extraverted) or inward toward your thoughts (Introverted). Your primary function is Introverted Feeling and secondary is Extraverted Sensing.
Here is a sampling of famous people and fictional characters that are likely to be ISFPs like you.
ISFPs may find satisfaction with the following careers which tend to match well with their Artist personality. This list is not exhaustive and these are not guaranteed to be perfect matches for you but this may be a helpful starting point if you are planning to pursue a new career.
Your preferences are Introversion (I), Sensing (S), Feeling (F) and Perceiving (P). These determine your Personality Type and Temperament.

Q: How to deal with large alphabets in BNF? Given a language defined as:

Any pair of matching symbols is a valid string.
E.g. 00, 55, qq, YY

And a large alphabet of non-terminal symbols (let's say 4,294,967,296 of them)...
How would you define a BNF grammar to express the language? (Context-sensitive or otherwise.)

I'm specifically interested in learning if there's a way to do this without writing 4,294,967,296 rules: i.e. a grammar that's so large, it's lost all the benefits of being defined with BNF, as it has become a "brute force" set of valid literals.

A: Most uses of BNF are to describe context-free grammars.
You can certainly use the BNF notation for a non-context-free grammar; all you need to do is to put more than one terminal on the left-hand side. However, that's not generally very useful in practice, because non-context-free grammars do not provide intuitive descriptions of the structure of the language parsed, nor do they lead to an algorithm for parsing the language. And one would expect that any practical grammar formalism would either give human readers a good description, or allow the automatic generation of a parser, or both. (That doesn't make non-context-free grammars useless in the formal analysis of languages; in the mathematical theory, it is not necessary to please either the reader or the parser generator.)
But if we restrict ourselves to context-free grammars, we immediately hit a roadblock, because a context-free grammar cannot express duplication, such as { ωω | ω∈Σ* }. Duplication is almost by definition not context-free, because context-free means that the expansion of a non-terminal cannot depend on the context in which the non-terminal appears. Hence, a rule which says "this non-terminal must have the same expansion as that non-terminal", which is required to express duplication, cannot be context-free.
Of course, the language { ωω | ω∈Σ }, which is what you are looking to describe, is context-free, but that's only because it is possible to enumerate all the possibilities (which must be a finite number, because we insist that the alphabet Σ be a finite set).
So where does that leave you?
Basically, you are free to invent whatever formalism suits your purposes, as long as you clearly define its meaning for the reader. That formalism may or may not lead to the possibility of automated parser generation, but if that is not your goal, that fact is irrelevant. Most EBNF dialects -- and there are a lot of them, practically none of which can actually generate a parser without assistance -- allow some way of embedding descriptions written in natural language for syntaxes which are difficult or impossible to describe with a context-free grammar. If you look through EBNF examples, you are likely to find a large constellation of different ways of saying " is any element of the character set" without actually exhaustively listing the entire character set, which given the existence of Unicode would be a ridiculous undertaking. (Although Unicode only has 17*216 codepoints, which is a lot less than 232. But it's still more than a million.)

Preview: Murdoch Mysteries takes a Wright turn into Season 12
September 20, 2018 Greg David	1 Comment
It's been a long summer, hasn't it Murdoch Mysteries fans? Those months between new seasons of the show seem to get more drawn-out with every passing year. But let's forget about the days gone by and focus on the journey ahead: 18 shiny new episodes to enjoy.
When we last left Julia and William, they'd reconciled after Julia miscarried and the pair briefly separated. Meanwhile, Crabtree and Nina are kaput, perhaps forever, after she left for Paris and he stayed behind.
Season 12 kicks off with "Murdoch Mystery Mansion," written by showrunner Peter Mitchell and directed by Gary Harvey. Here's what the CBC has revealed as the official synopsis for the episode.
Det. Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) and Dr. Ogden (Hélène Joy) have rebuilt their life after Ogden's recent miscarriage by building a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (Aaron Poole), a Chicago architect with a burgeoning reputation. However, the house is rocked by an explosion in Murdoch's specially designed potato-cooking room that claims a man's life.
And here are a few more tidbits I gleaned after watching a screener.
What? New show credits and theme music?!
After 12 seasons, there's a major shakeup with the opening credits and … KIDDING. It wouldn't be Murdoch Mysteries without Robert Carli's iconic theme and those oh-so-steampunk credits.
Downton Abbey's Sophie McShera checks in…
I must admit, it's a bit strange to see the actress I'll always think of as Daisy from Downton Abbey walking around William Murdoch's world. Here she plays Ann Ryand, which several eagle-eyed fans have suggested might be a nod to author Ayn Rand via wordplay.
…And so does Aaron Poole
No stranger to the CBC—Poole played Captain John Slotter in the cancelled-too-soon Strange Empire—he's most recently appeared in the horror flick The Void, drama feature The Definites and sci-fi series Salvation. He's great as the brilliant architect who has built William and Julia's first home. And there is a very funny catch to owning Wright's first-ever house in the Toronto area. (A hearty "Hurrah" to the set designers, props department, builders and other crew who made the interior of the home look so realistic.)
Julia and William are in a wonderful place
Those hoping our favourite couple are happy will be thrilled to find that's certainly the case as "Murdoch Murder Mansion" begins. But then, well, murder.
Higgins and Ruth are still going strong
One of the most entertaining couples in primetime television is hurtling towards their wedding day. That means major events as precursors … and the opportunity to learn more about these two characters.
Miss Hart is perturbed
She may have big plans when it comes to running the morgue, but Inspector Brackenreid has other ideas.
Murdoch Mysteries airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on CBC.

Trump's top Hill aide leaving White House amid Supreme Court battle
Marc Short, Trump's director of legislative affairs, is leaving later this month to join a D.C. consulting firm and teach at UVA.
By MATTHEW NUSSBAUM
President Donald Trump's legislative affairs director is heading for the exits just as the White House gears up for a major Supreme Court nomination battle and approaches a daunting midterm election landscape.
Marc Short, one of the administration's longest-serving senior aides and a frequent spokesperson for the president on television, is planning to depart by July 20, according to a person familiar with the plans.
Short, who declined to comment on the record, is taking a position at Guidepost Strategies consulting firm and will teach at the University of Virginia's business school, where he received his MBA, and will also serve as a senior fellow at the university's Miller Center.
Short took the job as Trump's top liaison to Capitol Hill after serving as a senior aide to Vice President Mike Pence on the 2016 campaign. A veteran of Republican politics, Short was seen as an establishment voice within the decidedly anti-establishment administration. He was in the center of Trump's key legislative fights, from the failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act to the rewrite of the tax code and the marathon efforts to reshape the judiciary.
Unlike past legislative affairs chiefs, Short took on a significant media profile, regularly appearing on cable news and Sunday shows to defend the White House and advocate for the president. But unlike other White House faces, from former press secretary Sean Spicer to counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway, Short largely managed to avoid making the type of controversial statements or embarrassing gaffes that have become commonplace in Trump's orbit. Like other former officials, Short may continue to make television appearances.
At Guidepost, Short will serve as a partner alongside Phil Cox, a former executive director of the Republican Governors Association, and Marie Sanderson, who was policy director at RGA. The firm does consulting, lobbying and communications for an array of corporate and nonprofit clients, including the tobacco company Reynolds American, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, BMW and the American Petroleum Institute. Short himself will not be doing any lobbying.
"Marc brings that unique combination of policy depth and political expertise, which is a hallmark of our firm," Cox said in a statement to POLITICO. "Marie and I are excited to have him join our team."
Short is slated to begin his fellowship at UVA on Aug. 1.
"It's an honor for me to welcome Marc Short to the Miller Center," Miller Center director William Antholis said in a statement to POLITICO. "Marc is widely respected in both parties. We had the privilege of getting to know Marc through the presidential transition and the Trump Administration's first year, and have been impressed by his professionalism, effectiveness, and collegiality."
Short is among a large cadre of senior White House staff members to leave before the president's two-year mark, as Trump's White House has seen an unprecedented level of staff turnover. Already, Trump has cycled through a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, four communications directors, a press secretary, a chief strategist, two national security advisers and a number of midlevel aides.

"Charles Caldwell McCabe (October 11, 1836, Athens, Ohio-December 20, 1906, New York, NY), also known as "Bishop" C. C. McCabe and Chaplain C. C. McCabe, was credited by Julia Ward Howe  as having popularized her famous piece, The Battle Hymn of the Republic after his imprisonment as a prisoner of war by the Confederates in Libby Prison during the Civil War.
"...McCabe learned about the Battle Hymn of the Republic, according to his biography, when a newspaper was slipped through the bars of the Civil War prison where he and others were being held. Nineteenth-century newspapers featured poems and other art forms, including the lyrics to songs. Along with the lyrics to this newly written song was a notation telling readers it should be sung to the tune of "John Brown's Body Lies A-Mouldering In His Grave." McCabe liked the song, sang it, and taught it to his fellow prisoners—doctors, lawyers and other professionals—to pass the time in prison. Soon afterward, when the war was over, McCabe included the singing of this song with an ever-changing motivational talk he gave about the Bright Side of life at Libby Prison, where he joked about the vermin that crawled over them at night and made clever remarks about the lawyers who weren't such bad guys if you had to be in a prison with them."
Thanks to Reference Librarian Lori Bessler and the staff of the Wisconsin Historical Society, one of many versions of The Bright Side of Life in Libby Prison is now in the public domain!
The other cards on this page are all characters from Elliott W. Barnes' play, "The Girl That I Love."
Page 101 of this Collection has more information about the play. According to some critics of the time, Mr. Barnes' work was best forgotten. ...And it has been.
Perhaps the best that can be said of Only a Farmer's Daughter is that it provided the opportunity for Ezra Kendall, the extraordinary comedian of his time, to make his professional debut as the English butler.
"Now I've made it all plain to you, I'll go to bed."

We are having a monochromatic challenge at Dynamic Duos this week. Our color duo is Wisteria Wonder and Concord Crush. Purple is on of my favorite colors, and I am a huge fan of sending purple Christmas cards!
I did have Wisteria Wonder in my paper stash. Sadly, no Concord Crush. None of my other purples seem to fit into the right shade. I ended up adding several layers of Wisteria Wonder ink to white cardstock to get as close as possible to Concord Crush. When the ink was wet, it looked to be a perfect match. Fast forward ten minutes and it dried to a slightly light shade. I still thought it was dark enough to get the effect of the light and dark purple. Feel free to come up with your own combination of light and dark purple for your monochromatic creation!
The red outlines around the images indicate that there is a shape on the Art Philosophy cartridge that coordinates with the image. My purple bow was made with Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon and Wisteria Wonder reinker. Do you buy a reinker when you purchase your ink pads? I highly recommend purchasing a reinker whenever you purchase an ink pad. Reinkers can be used for far more projects than just reinking your ink pad. If the color of your stamp pad happens to be discontinued, you will be so thankful that you previously purchased the reinker as well! Some of my stamp pads are over 15 years old and still going strong. The pads are in great shape and have just had reinker added as needed. Whenever I buy new ink colors, I always purchase the reinker at the same time if possible.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure and stop by Dynamic Duos to see the other Design Team creations!
a very elegant look Allisa... I bet the colors in real life are even prettier!
Hello Allisa. This is so pretty and gorgeous colours. Love the design and the centrepiece is just wonderful. The gems set it off perfectly.
I just love the clean crisp feel of your fab christmas card Allisa !! Thanks for sharing it with us this week at The Crafty Pad and hope you can join us again next week !!
Love your Christmas card! Thanks for playing along with us at Eureka Stamps this week.
What a pretty Christmas card Allisa, love that you used the colours for a non-traditional look. The new stamp set with the ornaments is super cute with the sentiments inside. Great job!
Very nice. Great job, coloring the paper to get the color you needed.
Beautiful card design! I love the image and the cuts you used. A truly lovely card. So happy you joined us this week at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges!
Allisa your card is beautiful!!! lot those ornaments... Thanks for joining us this week at CSAYL!
Such a great CAS card! Thanks for playing at The Crafty pad this week in our To Die For Challenge!
Sorry I'm commenting a bit late but life got in the way! Don't forget to check back on Thursday to see if you're one of our winners!
Very pretty card. Lovely design. Thank you for joining us at Holly Jolly this week.
This is beautiful!!! Love the purples!! And that bow is stunning!! Thanks for playing with CSAYL.
Allisa, another beautiful card and so pretty for Christmas. Great tip on the re-inker and would be prefect to get and than try the previous technique you showed us. Your blog is full of beautiful creations and great advise. Thanks!!
Alissa, this is so pretty! You are tempting me from SU!
Love the image you used for your pretty card Allisa, well done with getting Concord Crush so close with the re-inker. I always buy the re-inker when I buy a stamp pad, I have found sometimes that even a New stamp pad can be a little dry and needs to be topped up and it is ever so frustrating if you can't use it straight away.
Such a fabulous Christmas card.
This is just lovely! I never thought of using purples for a Christmas card, but it works so well.
Beautiful card!!! Thanks for participating in CSAYL's challenge! Hope to see you again!!!


This book documents the strong ties that bind generations together. When the author poses the question to her Irish Granny, "If you were so poor why did you have ten children?" Says she, "To be certain, there was no poverty between the sheets!" This sassy saga of a large family that is half Irish and half French Canadian captures hilarious voices and comical antics of a vibrant family that is cloaked in love. A horse theme and song lyrics are neatly knitted throughout the layers of generations.
No Poverty Between the Sheets is a memoir of life in Ontario, a half French Canadian and half Irish family spanning 4 generations and traveling between Ireland and Canada. Living in Ontario myself it's always fun and interesting to read these types of books. Places I can visualize and others I can say 'hey I've been there'.
There were spelling and grammatical issues that I found distracting, but all in all an entertaining read.
Pauline Kiely has been an avid student of Creative Writing her entire life. This author has consistently taken various courses and workshops offered at University of Toronto and Trent Universities. A year long memoir course with Susan Reynolds brought out this witty honest voice that shoots straight from the hip aiming for the heart.
One reason I want to win, is because I love books. The other reason is the review of the book is so good. I love the question of why have 10 kids, and I get the answer. That is so cute. I'd love to read this book.

interviewInterviews
Tomorrow, James Blunt will be making his self-anticipated return to the city of Boston. A show that he told me in our new interview is the highlight of his current eighteen month run. Looking at his facebook, he's constantly referencing the show and I'm sure his loyal fans are on the same level of excitement.
I got the chance to pick James's brain about his current world tour that at the minimal level will be a eighteen month run that luckily his several years in the army prepared him for. He walked me through the four records that he has put out thus far in his career and even gave me a few reasons why Boston is just so special to him. I'll be checking out his live set tomorrow night in Boston with another recent interview we've done, Oh Honey. Hope to see you there!
To start soft, the three things you must have with you while on the road to survive?
Three things I must have? I need my band! To play with me on stage. That's what I'm going to be bringing for the Boston show!
Yeah, there's about five of us on stage. The other things I need? Well, we're on the "Moon Landing" world tour and we started in Shanghai on New Year's Eve. The production that we are taking around the world reflects that (the title of the album). In our arena shows, we have lunary modules on the stage. With the most incredible lights and lasers. A show that goes with the concept of the album. House of Blues is quite a bit of a smaller event. The Boston show will be about the music. I think production wise for that, we'll bring our flight suits so that's the equipment that we'll be bringing.
Like you said, you've been doing these huge arena shows and tomorrow is a bit smaller of a venue in Boston. Maybe how has the tour been so far and maybe what are you most looking forward to tomorrow?
Well I think what's amazing about this tour is the length of time we're playing. In Europe and the Uk and Canada. Of course coming to the states, what I'm looking forward to is actually that they're much smaller shows. That for me as a musician is really exciting because I can actually see the audience rather then look out and just see darkness. Just have that spotlight in my face. At a venue like House of Blues, I can really see what's going on and it will be much more intense as a result. So that's something that I'm really looking forward to.
I suppose the third thing I'd need on tour to survive that you had asked me is my tour bus because it's my home at the moment and it will be for many months.
Perfect, very needed! Then I know your new album "Moon Landing", your fourth album, only came out in October. It had been a while between records. How do you think it's been going over so far in your eyes?
Well, I suppose. My first album was just an innocent album that I put out and wasn't thinking about anything but the music. Then I had a song on it that exploded and it took me to the mainstream. The response to it was great but I wasn't enjoying it very much. So my second album is called "All The Lost Souls" and it was quite a dark unhappy album as a result. You could tell that by the title alone. For my third album, when I was embracing it and I was enjoying it and writing songs for my World Tour. Writing songs to fill the arenas that I was playing in. The album is called "Some Kind of Trouble" and it was great, great fun but I was definitely writing it with an audience in mind. I thought perhaps for this fourth album instead of writing it with an audience in mind, I'd write more personal songs. Not treating it as a job. Not treating it as being a pop star but treating myself as musician I started out being. So I took a trip back to where I was on this album. I went back to find the producer who recorded my first album, Tom Rothrock . From ten years ago. I went to Los Angeles, found him and he's the man who made this new album "Moon Landing" with me. I suppose what's funny is that because we haven't thought about trying to please the audience. We haven't thought about making it to suit these shows or fit the world tour, I think people can hear that it's more genuine. People connect with it more.
Then I know on Facebook, that "Moon Landing" is possibly the last record you'll make. It may just be a light hearted remark that you wrote but are there certain things that you want to happen during this tour for you to make a new album?
Do you know what? I spent a year making this album. A year locked away in a studio. That journey of making it with Tom and now I'm heading out on a tour which is at least eighteen months long. At this stage. Who knows what I'm going to do afterwards.
How do you prepare for such a lengthy tour, like maybe mentally?
Well I suppose you prepare for a tour by doing the army for six years beforehand (laughs).
Then I was reading your Twitter. I know that you call out the people who maybe try to diss you on twitter. How do you think that helps you as an artist? Like your image?
I don't really know how it helps me. You know with what people think of me. What I do know is I enjoy it. You know because Twitter is this amazing thing for like amusement stuff but the moment you start taking it a serious platform for people's opinions I think it gets its' meaning clouded. I saw people taking their opinions so seriously and my record label they want me to be on it. If they didn't, I probably wouldn't be on it. So what I'm doing is I'm just kind of laughing at the fact that some people think that their opinions hurt. Often thinking it's important. It's not important so I'm just messing around for fun. I don't know what it does for anyone else but I know that for me it's something I find doing entertaining.
Perfect then I wanted to ask you, obviously you're been doing this for so long. The first album for you came out ten years ago. Maybe advice to people just starting, maybe even your openers Oh Honey who are on their first true large room tour.
I mean it's been great fun having Oh Honey out. This is their first kind of tour. I think having been in the job for awhile, I understand kind of the ups and the downs of going to different places and different cities and different countries. We've just been up in Canada playing the Bell Centre in Montreal and The Coliseum in Quebec City and now it's time to come down to the US and playing in much, much smaller rooms. The change in size, the change in audience, the change in energy, the change in character from city to city. It's what keeps it going really because getting up on stage and playing the same songs every night is tiring. Boston has it's own character and is a really exciting place for us to come to. So that's probably what I'm looking forward to most. It's where I recorded my single off this album. The song called "Bonfire Heart". I wrote and recorded it with Ryan Tedder who is the lead singer of OneRepublic. We recorded it in Boston!
Then to end it off, I wanted to ask you the first concert that you yourself can remember going to?
The first concert I ever went to, I think it was probably an Elton John concert actually. I haven't really been to that many concerts. Really didn't have the time or the money to go to many concerts. I went to that Elton John concert very early on when my management picked me up because that management firm is owned by Elton John. He's a great supporter of music. They picked me up and supported me and even after that, I found myself touring with him as his support act for Europe, through the UK and to South America.
