The media-savvy think tank that owns the Laurel Springs RV Resort has finally figured out a way to cover up permit violations from neighbors who complain to the City of Houston, Harris County and the State of Texas. They’ve simply put up signs prohibiting photography that threaten prosecution. And they’ve installed slats in their chain-link fence to reduce visibility of their construction practices.
Losing Through Intimidation
It’s a classic case study in Losing Through Intimidation.
“If You See Something, Say Something.”
In the two decades since 9/11, we’ve been taught by authorities to “say something if you see something.” But the owners of the Laurel Springs RV Park take the opposite approach. They threaten prosecution of anyone photographing permit violations. So far, there have been four investigations of the property by the City of Houston (2), Harris County, and the State of Texas – all triggered by citizen-supplied photos. Harris County even threatened a lawsuit. And the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued a 64-page Notice of Enforcement.
So what do the owners do? It’s pure marketing genius. They put out a “Not Welcome” sign, erect a veil of secrecy, and threaten to sue anyone who complains.
But prohibiting photography of permit violations just makes people look harder. What are they trying to cover up?
Perhaps it never occurred to the owners that they should just stop violating permits and invite people to see how they are complying with the law. But no! That would be too simple.
Questionable Practices Documented to Date
So far they have been caught:
- Trenching through their detention pond wall, sending mud more than a hundred yards into Harris County’s Edgewater Park.
- Piping water from their detention pond directly into Edgewater Park.
- Pumping silty water directly into storm sewers and the Park.
- Bringing fill into the flood plain.
- Putting false information in permit applications.
- Failing to erect silt fences.
- Cutting down trees on public property.
- Trespassing on County property.
- Failing to protect storm sewer inlets.
- Pretending neighboring wetlands didn’t exist in their Stormwater Pollution Protection Plan.
- Improperly maintaining construction entrances and tracking mud into Laurel Springs Lane.
Their new “no photography” marketing ploy will surely make this a “destination vacation.” Except who wants to go to a glamour resort next to the railroad tracks and not take a camera?
I hope they invite me to cover their Grand Closing. But any ceremony will, no doubt, happen under the cloak of darkness, like much associated with their “See Nothing, Say Nothing” operation.

International and European Law
The research in the field of international law focusses mainly on four different fields. The law of the sea, the law of international organizations, regional international law in Africa and East-European legal systems. With respect to the law of the sea the main areas covered are marine pollution, fisheries, Belgian state practice, the Baltic Sea region and maritime delimitation. As far as international organizations are concerned, the research of the Centre pays particular attention to the United Nations in general and the blue helmets in particular. Concerning Africa, two interdisciplinary projects center around the nation of failed states in Africa and networks of governance therein. Also land and maritime boundaries in that region receive special attention. Finally, in the area of East- European legal systems, different research projects have been set up with central European states as well as Russia. The research in the field of European law focuses on different aspects of constitutional/institutional and substantive law. European constitutional/institutional law: Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, institutional framework of the European Union, institutional aspects of the external relations of the European Community, judicial protection, enhanced cooperation and administrative law. European substantive law: competition rules applicable to undertakings, competition rules on State aid, different aspects of the Internal Market. The following research projects are conducted at present: - The Changing Role of the European Council in the Institutional Framework of the European Union; - The European Community as a Collective Member of the World Tade Organisation.

In the United States, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) defines the crime of trafficking of persons and outlines the services and benefits available to victims. Foreign-born victims of human trafficking are eligible for many of the same protections, services, and benefits as refugees,[i] and so foreign-born child victims without the care of a parent or legal guardian are eligible to enter the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM) program, a specialized system of community-based and licensed foster-care programs developed and funded specifically for certain foreign-born children.[ii]
As expected, child[iii] victims of trafficking have a range of complex needs and vulnerabilities, especially as they begin to rebuild their lives. The URM programs are able to address these needs, because they operate under the principles of safety, permanency, and child well-being, coupled with the principles of integration and cultural competency. The URM network employs a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to meet the unique needs of those children and youth in their care. For almost 35 years, USCCB/MRS has coordinated a network of URM programs, and from 2002 to 2013, cared for 110 child victims of trafficking.
Last year, a small study was conducted on the URM network, to look specifically at the outcomes of the child trafficking victims served. This study examined 3 sets of data:
- Individual service provision and outcomes of child victims of trafficking placed in the URM program
- Program policies and practices from the 12 URM programs in the USCCB/MRS network
- Foster parent and key program staff experiences caring for child victims of trafficking placed in their homes/URM programs
Among the key findings, we found that child victims of trafficking:
- Have greater safety considerations, which must be addressed, particularly if there was a prior relationship between the victim and trafficker;
- Have more complex and significant trauma histories and benefit from creative, non-traditional therapies;
- Have greater difficulty forming connections with adults, but many do eventually connect with a caring adult;
- Benefit from placement stability, even in AWOL cases;
- Can thrive in family-based foster care and small group homes; there are particular traits that effective foster families share, and they benefit from specialized training.
Overview of the Children and Youth Served
The sample included victims of labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and victims of both types. The children ranged from 13-17 years of age at the time of their identification and initial placement. The children were exploited in a wide variety of industries and settings, including domestic servitude, retail personal care services (hair braiding), construction and manual labor, restaurant work, and agricultural processing. Sex trafficking victims were exploited in cantina- or nightclub-based prostitution, street prostitution, brothels, and Internet-based prostitution. Some children were relatively isolated in people’s homes while others were in contact with the general public in retail settings. In later years of the study period, children compelled to smuggle drugs by international gangs and cartels were recognized as being victims of human trafficking and received the designation.
Overall, almost half of the children were exploited by someone with whom they or their family had a prior relationship, with authors noting a prior relationship between the child and trafficker in 46% of the cases, often times family members, family friends or intimate partners. These relationships have implications for the children’s short-term and long-term needs and their future stability and well-being. They limit their family reunification options and affect their ability to form meaningful relationships with others.
As a result of their trauma, program staffers thought that the victims of trafficking had a higher level of therapeutic need than the other populations served in the URM programs. They noted that, among this population, children were “needier,” had “significant trust issues,” had problems with “boundaries,” and needed “a sense of stability.” Staff members also shared that the mental health needs among this population sometimes take longer to resolve due to trust issues, the child’s utilization of “survivor skills,” and children going into “survivor mode” after their placement within the URM program.
The URM program staff were asked what types of interventions they thought were the most helpful in meeting the therapeutic and behavioral needs of the child victims of trafficking, and 3 themes emerged.
- Staffers at several programs believed that recreational activities, including those that had a cultural component and/or were structured, were of most assistance. They pointed to soccer, music, and other types of recreational activities as good examples.
- Staffers at several programs stressed the benefits of what are not typical interventions: the importance of facilitating connections with people who the child felt understood them and to whom the child felt attached. A “sense of belonging” and “family” were articulated as important in meeting the child’s therapeutic needs. One respondent stressed the importance of children “knowing they are cared for no matter what” and “placement with the right family.”
- Staffers also identified helpful therapeutic practices other than traditional forms of individual counseling, specifically, assistance with biofeedback and breathing exercises, journaling, and sandplay.
Keeping child trafficking victims safe in community-based care
When the perpetrators of child trafficking victims are at large, URM programs incorporated measures to
keep children safe within their community-based settings in family foster care or group home care:
- Increased attention to external contacts and monitored external communications. For example, some programs have mail sent through the URM program office rather than directly to the foster home, restrict access to social media, and/or educate children about the use of social media. In foster family homes and group homes, some programs implement restrictions on phone calls, for example, preparing “safe-to-call lists,” screening incoming calls, and blocking certain numbers.
- Formal safety planning with child and foster family; with schools or others in the community; and with law enforcement. One program reported that the most important element in formal safety planning was for the child to understand his or her own safety concerns.
- Individual risk assessments, bio-psychosocial assessments, and lethality assessments.[iv]
- Half of the programs reported that children in their care had wanted to maintain contact with the traffickers, complicating the efforts to keep their clients safe. This situation is especially common among girls who may view the traffickers as their boyfriends and who have formed emotional attachments to them. Two programs had experience with assisting girls who had given birth to the children of their traffickers.
Whether or not children in the sample group formed meaningful connections with adults was used as a proxy for well-being. Through case files and interviews, the authors were able to identify the adult who formed a meaningful relationship with the child, that is, case manager, foster parent, family friend, or adult community member. 40% of children had no documented connection to an adult. While it is likely that some of these children did have meaningful relationships, documentation was missing from the case files. Anecdotally, children without connections experienced difficulty adjusting to routines and the restrictions of living in a family, difficulty in school, and difficulties forming relationships with peers. Some struggled with assimilating or acculturating, and some also suffered from serious mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder, major depression, and eating disorders. In several cases, even for those children with meaningful connections to adults, these relationships did not form until the children had been in their programs for months or even years.
Other proxies for well-being were absence without leave (AWOL) incidents or instances when caregivers did not know where the child was. Within the sample, very few children went AWOL from their placements. Of the 5 children who went AWOL from the program and did not return, 2 children contacted the program staff to report that they were living with family members. Other AWOL incidents were reported, with some children being away from their placements several times during the study period. Anecdotally, children appeared to leave without notifying their caregiver to meet up with friends and romantic interests—including traffickers—to engage in prohibited activities such as drinking and/or drug use. These incidents appeared to be infrequent, and a relatively small number of children engaged in these activities. The program responses generally resulted in additional safety planning, development of safety contracts, and losses of privileges. Placement changes were not among the consequences—because maintaining relationships and stability were recognized as significant contributing factors to the youth’s overall well-being.
Foster Family Selection and Placement
Much of what was reported by program staff was relevant to all their populations in care; they need foster parents who are nurturing and understanding, neutral and open minded, and self-actualized. One program representative mentioned that they look for foster parents who understand that foster care is “not about them, but about the [children].” Program staff look for foster parents who are motivated to assist the child rather than feel good about themselves as caretakers.
Some programs appeared to have learned through their experiences what types of families were more suited to caring for the child trafficking victims, and they actively recruited for parents who lived in certain situations or had certain attributes listed below.
- “Flexibility”demonstrated, for example, by parents who could adapt rules and boundaries to fit an individual child’s needs
- Organized and predictable helped the child trafficking victim feel safe in his or her new environment.
- Open to continual learning and have a “teachable spirit,” while also being experienced in parenting
- “Savvy and smart” enough to recognize cues and know when children were possibly engaging in inappropriate behaviors
- Knowledgeable about social media and the new ways that children may engage with their peers
Foster family retention is key to the stabilization of placements for any child in foster care and can be particularly important for child victims of trafficking who often have had little stability in their lives. URM program staff members shared their strategies for successful foster family retention among all URM populations, including child victims of trafficking. These strategies included providing ongoing training, being available and responsive to the families’ needs, providing respite care (temporary foster care placements), providing joint counseling for the foster parents and the foster child, offering foster parent support groups, including foster parents in case planning with the child (family decision-making processes), providing more financial assistance for higher needs children, offering organized social and recreational opportunities for foster parents to spend time with their foster children, sponsoring foster family appreciation events and holiday celebrations, and giving gifts. One program staffer noted that smaller programs with lower ratios of parents to staff helped foster parents feel appreciated, supported, and included in the program’s work.
It is apparent from this study that there are numerous considerations in serving this population. Exploring connections with a child’s biological family, including the potential for reunification; meeting the therapeutic and behavioral needs through recreational activities and other nonconventional methods; and helping children feel safe in addition to keeping them safe were some of the more notable service considerations the URM program staff discussed with the authors. However, it is also clear that foreign-born child victims of human trafficking, and by extension U.S. born victims can be served well in community-based care settings. To respond to this population’s unique and intense needs, the URM programs often adapted their services to ensure that they provided positive long-term outcomes for the children. Adapted services include placing child victims of trafficking with foster parents who are structured, flexible and savvy; increasing supervisor involvement with trafficking cases; and setting clear expectations with trafficked children upon initial placement in a foster home.

In the past seven years recorded crime in Fife has almost halved having fallen by 49%.
At the same time the detection rate has risen to 60% – which will be one of the highest rates ever achieved by any Police Force in Scotland. Crime in Fife is now at the lowest levels since modern crime recording standards were first set in 2004.
In the most serious crimes, there was a decrease of 25.8% in the number of Crimes of Violence recorded (down to 348 compared with 469) and this was accompanied by a large increase in the detection of these crimes, which is up from 87.0% to 97.4%.
It has also been another record year for controlled drug seizures in Fife with £1.69 million of Class A drugs and £2.59 million of Class B drugs recovered. A total of £183,000 of cash was also seized from people involved in the distribution of controlled drugs.
There has also been a significant fall in Anti-Social Behaviour Offences recorded, with 2,269 fewer crimes (7,151 against 9,420) – a fall of 24.1%. Operations Crack-It and Allegro were successfully developed in the West of Fife and have shown huge improvements in dealing with these offences, which are among the most commonly raised issues by people across Fife at Community Engagement Meetings.
These results have been achieved by a series of continual improvements delivered across the Force, including making sure staff are briefed better to deal with the local concerns in the area they are policing and are more able to respond to community concerns.
Much of this awareness can be attributed to the Force Community Engagement meetings which have been further enhanced to include meetings in schools, supermarkets and with businesses and other groups.
We will be seeking to build on the achievements we have made in identifying and targeting hotspots for violence in public spaces, to tackling non domestic violence in private spaces through an innovative programme working with the Fife Community Safety Partnership, Fife Council, NHS, the Violence Reduction Unit, Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service and others.
Since the inception of the Public Protection Unit, there have been improvements in the way domestic abuse cases are now recorded and we are also working with partners through the MARAC (Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conferencing Process) which has led to an increase in confidence in reporting domestic abuse.
This has led to an increase in the volume of domestic cases being recorded – 137 in the past year – however, these changes have led to a reduction in the number of repeat victims of domestic abuse. Recent proactive investigations have also highlighted more victims of historic abuse, who had not previously come forward to the police.
Safety on the roads in Fife has also improved with fatalities, as well as serious and slight casualties all reduced. During 2011-12 there were 12 fatalities, (down from 13 in 2010), 88 serious injuries (138 in 2010) and 465 slight injuries (593 in 2010); a total of 565 (down from 632 in 2010). Of these, there were 63 child casualties, down from 93 the previous year.
ACC Ewing said: “These record low crime figures show how Fife Constabulary is delivering for the people in our communities. Recorded crime is now almost half the level of seven years ago and this has been achieved by responding to community needs, supported by visible police patrols and meaningful engagement with all the communities of Fife.
“I am particularly proud of the officers who have delivered this improvement at a time when Fife Constabulary also committed so many resources to dealing with Operation Mercer, the largest operation in the Force’s history and which led to the conviction of three men for the murder of Toby Siddique in Glenrothes.
“I want to thank all the communities of Fife for working with us to help the Force to deliver all these successes and encourage local people to take part in Community Engagement Meetings to help us continue with our vision of Taking Policing Closer to the Community.
“During the next few weeks all seven areas of Fife Constabulary will launch the local policing plans for the following year tackling the issues that matter to the local communities.”


The National Park Service is trying to move quickly in awarding a new contract for the waterfront space currently housed by Jack's Boathouse. But Jack's owner Paul Simkin and his attorney believe the property does not belong to the National Park Service, Washington City Paper reports.
They are citing a 1985 D.C. Council resolution that transferred Georgetown waterfront property to the National Park Service, and that the land should revert to the city in an amendment, of which two were made in 2000 and 2005.

I recently received a speeding ticket when returning from Olympia National Park. It was the only blip in an otherwise wonderful trip. I wanted to contest the ticket but it was near impossible to go to Forks WA simply for this. Luckily, I found Joe's law firm. I wrote to them with details of my case and then Joe spoke to me for 15 minutes to explain the process.

The process was super easy and simple! I contacted Joe via email, filled out an electronic form, paid the fee, let them know when my court date was once I received the notice, and then was notified by Joe the day of the hearing that the ticket was dismissed! Saved myself stress and time of trying to do it myself (and let’s be honest, I wouldn’t have known how to contest the ticket myself), and he was able to keep the ticket off my record and my insurance rates from going up. Thanks a million!
Very satisfied with this attorney and his firm. Receptionist was very personable and professional. Joe represented me in court for a traffic infraction, which was fortunately dismissed. It was a seamless and pain free process. I would highly recommend this firm.

BEIJING : China has to strengthen protection of intellectual property rights or risk stifling a growing spirit for innovation, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday.
Controlling information on the Internet and elsewhere will undermine China's progress as new ideas develop best in free societies, Bloomberg told a conference on innovation in the Chinese capital.
``I can tell you that efforts to control access to information _ whether it's the Internet or anywhere else _ will undermine progress. Access to information is a strength, not a threat, and it is a fundamental part of innovation.'' he said, citing his experience running Bloomberg LP, the financial data and news company he founded.
``The more that China embraces this notion, the more innovative it will become,'' he said.
China will also increasingly realize that lax legal protection for intellectual property will cause innovators to take their business overseas or stop innovation altogether, he said.
``China should be the champion of property rights protection _ not the 'Wild West' where anything goes and 'something for nothing' is accepted practice,'' he said. ``In the long run, nations that protect and incentivize innovation will have an enormous edge over those that don't.''
U.S. officials are in town this week led by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson as part of the third U.S.-China Strategic Economic Dialogue. Intellectual property rights will be one point of discussion, as well as economic globalization, clean energy technology and food safety.
There is increasing pressure from the U.S. side for China to revalue its currency and improve its intellectual property regime. The U.S. runs a large and growing deficit with China, and many critics say the yuan is being kept artificially low, helping China's booming exports and increasing the deficit.
China's weak intellectual property rights means counterfeit U.S. movies, music and other products are commonly available, reducing sources of revenue from these sectors for U.S. companies.
Chinese movie makers and others also complain their products are widely copied, and Beijing streets are full of counterfeit products for next year's Summer Olympics.
Human Rights Watch, a New York-based human rights organization, said in a letter to Bloomberg last week that he should raise issues of human rights on his visit to Beijing. He should express concern over media freedoms in the country because of his media background, the group said.


The Department of Public Safety Bureau of Investigation is the government agency in charge of a background check in Colorado, and they maintain the central repository for all criminal records. This system offers limited background information for the general public. The state has partnered with Logikco LLC., to provide this service to the individuals and organizations. Regular users can set up an account for faster service. Every search costs a non-refundable fee of $6.85. When searching the user will need at least the person’s first and last name and date of birth. Additionally, they can search using a social security number or IDT number.
Colorado also offers the Applicant Background Service (CABS) website for vendors, employers, licensing authorities and other authorized users to obtain background checks. Users must select their reason for the request then use the chosen vendor and pay the required fee. Fees vary from service to service. Their list is extensive and covers everything from childcare, foster care, and housing to a Colorado background check before taking the bar exam.
Background check reports from the Internet Criminal History Check System (ICHC) system will include only arrest records based on fingerprints. Sealed records, juvenile records, and warrant information will not be included, along with sex offenses. The local police have information on sex offenders. Criminal records will consist of arrests for felonies and misdemeanors, convictions and incarceration information.
There are dozens of reasons for performing a CO background check. Some of the reasons listed on their CABS service are before adoption, working in childcare, schools, government jobs, EMT work, HUD, foster care, liquor and marijuana licensing, DMV services, nursing and security guard services. The CABS service offers a tailored, official report for any of these purposes.
Less formal public background reports are used for different purposes such as finding a long-lost friend or distant relative, before dating someone new, before going into business with an associate or looking up your own online public records. Some of the information contained in these reports sourced from public and private files are:
Marriages and Divorces
Auto, Vessel, Aircraft Ownership
Current and Past Addresses
Phone and Email Address
Relatives and Associates
Social Media Accounts and More
A Colorado criminal background check focuses on someone’s criminal history and case-related documents like police reports, court summons and RAP sheets. Criminal checks are most often used in employment, government jobs, and security clearance and sometimes for property rentals. They are also used when applying for a gun permit from the state.
The state is a point of contact for gun dealers in the state, and the Bureau of Investigation (CBI) performs all Colorado gun background checks before someone can purchase a firearm in the state. Licensed dealers are required to contact CBI when transferring any guns including private sales. When performing a CBI background check, a fee for every background report will be charged. The background report must conform to federal gun regulations as well. So far this year, the state has initiated 496,995 background reports for people wanting to purchase firearms. Almost half of those (46%) were for handguns. Only 33% were for long guns and the rest for permits.
On average 524,770 gun checks annually are being conducted through NICS in California.
|# of conducted handgun checks
|# of conducted long gun checks
Colorado requires many types of companies including daycares, schools, mental health facilities and senior care centers to perform background checks on potential employees. If they fail to do so, there are stiff legal consequences should anything negative occur as a result of not performing one.
The Colorado background check laws also protect job applicants from the misuse of background checks during the hiring process.
State employers cannot ask applicants about sealed records or any arrests that did not lead to a plea or conviction. The state requires employers to get an applicant’s signature before performing a Colorado criminal background check on them and report any negative findings back to the candidate. Federal regulations also mandate that they comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) for accuracy and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prevent discrimination.
According to The Fair Credit Reporting Act, when using sites like GovernmentRegistry to obtain a background report, the information cannot legally be used to determine credit, employment, tenant screening or any other eligibility requirements for business or professional use.
In 2017, there have been 299 victims of online romance scams in Colorado, resulting in $3.9 million adjusted losses associated with these complaints.

I am expecting a mortgage offer from Halifax. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Barking. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
My apartment in Barking is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
I'm buying a new build house in Barking with a loan from Santander. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been recommended by a few estate agents in Barking to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your site over another?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I've recently bought a leasehold property in Barking. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
Having spent months of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Barking. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Where there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Barking property is 240 Strone Road in January 2014. the tribunal held that the price to be paid for the freehold interest was£23,538 of which£13,017 is attributable to the ground floor flat and £10,521 to the first floor flat. This case affected 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 65.5 years.


The Jacksonville City Council’s Finance Committee approved the expansion of the city’s Human Rights Ordinance on Wednesday morning.
The measure was approved by a 4-3 vote, with Bill Gulliford, Sam Newby, and Matt Schellenberg opposing expansion.
The expansion would add sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression to the list of protected categories under the ordinance, which ensures that people aren’t discriminated against in the workplace, the housing market, or public accommodations (restrooms, locker rooms, and so on).
An amendment to allow companies with up to 50 employees to discriminate against LGBT people in employment practices was passed in the first committee to consider the bill on Monday, but it did not pass the second committee on Tuesday
In a process fraught with interesting wrinkles in parliamentary procedure, Wednesday’s meeting was no different, as Schellenberg immediately pushed for reconsideration of the “50 employees” amendment.
It was spiked 4-3.
From there, another amendment from Gulliford: to put the HRO expansion up to a referendum in Aug. 2018.
The referendum discussion showed the demarcations on the issue at large.
Referendum Amendment fails 5-2: “This is a contentious issue … I have friends on both sides of the issue,” Gulliford said. “If you think passing a bill will end [discrimination], you’re naive. But a vote will end it.”
Councilman Aaron Bowman noted the impact of inaction, citing the economic havoc wreaked on North Carolina via HB2 passage, including losing NCAA championship games, the NBA All-Star Game, and concerts by groups such as Pearl Jam.
“We’re getting ready to open a new amphitheater,” Bowman noted, before calling the referendum an attempt toward “tyranny by the majority.”
Heated discussion continued, with Councilman Tommy Hazouri noting his history of activism on “human rights” issues, such as the Equal Rights Amendment and minority set asides.
“A referendum is not good for us,” Hazouri thundered. “Who are we as a city? What’s right?”
Hazouri got a groan from the crowd when he mentioned the Pulse massacre in Orlando, and then gave back as good as he got, saying “nobody asked you to speak. You already had your opportunity.”
Councilman Greg Anderson dialed back the heat, saying the referendum “fundamentally alters” the bill, as the legislation would hang suspended pending the plebiscite.
The general counsel disagreed with that read; however, Anderson stood his ground, opposing the amendment.
Gulliford noted that Texas is going to pass its own version of HB2.
“There’s some people that feel like they should be able to exercise their feelings and beliefs according to the Constitution,” Gulliford said, noting his belief that “the only way to put this to bed is a vote of the people.”
Council VP John Crescimbeni proposed a referendum on the entire HRO, given that the other protected classes were included by council ordinance.
Gulliford said the addition of sexual orientation/gender identity protections was more “contentious” than protections on race were in 1992, when the city council passed the larger ordinance
Council President Lori Boyer noted that she had asked for legal advice on whether a referendum amendment would be in order; she noted that “it would be permissible,” and up to the council to decide if the amendment was cause to be substituted and re-referred to committees.
Councilman Matt Schellenberg went against Gulliford, noting that the votes aren’t there for the amendment.
That said, Schellenberg noted “this is going to a referendum anyway.”
Councilwoman Katrina Brown wondered if it was even possible to vote on excluding two groups from the HRO.
Crescimbeni: “it’s winner take all.”
Religious Exemption Language: An amendment was brought to the committee attempting the clean up the definitions of “religious organizations” and “religious corporations,” after confusion in a previous committee.
While mosques, synagogues, and so forth are excluded, the question comes down to church related businesses and businesses that are for profit but predicated on an assertion of religious values.
Religious organizations, in the amendment, would include a “religious corporation, association, or society,” consistent with federal law.
Crescimbeni noted that a company like Hobby Lobby, absent clarity, could position themselves as religious organizations. Likewise, a religiously-affiliated school could.
Theoretically, said Crescimbeni, a group could opt out of the HRO if the language was not more strictly defined.
Gulliford countered that a “non-profit based on Christian principles,” such as a homeless shelter, may have a “legitimate concern” about this legislation.
“This is crazy. It gets into the whole issue of a lack of definition of all this,” said an “appalled” Bill Gulliford.
Despite objections, the amendment was approved without objection by a hand vote.
Let’s ram this thing through: Councilman Aaron Bowman discussed lost economic opportunities because of a lack of an ordinance, noting that he has hosted many site visits from companies that did not come here for that reason.
The impact is especially felt with companies with younger, skilled workers; these corporations, for whatever reason, value equal rights over arcane and politicized interpretations of Christian doctrine.
Feeling a loss coming on in yet another committee, Gulliford posited that small businesses drive the economy, and lamented the supporters’ unwillingness to “compromise,” as evidenced by the spiking of his substitute bill Monday.
“Let’s ram this thing through” was how Gulliford characterized resistance of “legitimate concerns” from expansion opponents.
Hazouri noted, in response, that those concerns are really a “parade of horribles.”
“There’s nothing to fear but fear itself,” Hazouri said.
Schellenberg, meanwhile, said that companies that didn’t come to Jacksonville were “discriminating against us, without knowing who we are.”
Voting for the HRO, Schellenberg asserted, negates the prima facie truth that Jacksonville is a great, loving place where people say hello to each other in Publix.


How to write a letter of intent (LOI)?
A Letter of Intent is a legal document that sets out the key terms of the agreement between the parties before the definitive agreement is actually signed. It sets the intentions of the parties, and while not usually binding, it can.
It is a written document outlining a preliminary agreement between two parties regarding the terms of a potential purchase or other transaction. Think of it as a roadmap as negotiations and deals move forward.
The parties may agree on certain terms and agree to further negotiate other terms and details of the transaction prior to the actual signing of the purchase agreement.

Vladislava Soshkina J.D. '13 received the I'Anson Award, the highest award given to a graduating student by the Law School's faculty, during the Law School's Diploma Ceremony on May 12. The award recognizes great professional promise through scholarship, character, and leadership, and is named in honor of Lawrence W. I'Anson (1907-1990), a graduate of the College of William & Mary and Chief Justice of the Virginia Supreme Court.
"The Class of 2013 is an extraordinarily strong group of students," said Law School Dean Davison M. Douglas. "Many members of the class have already accomplished much, making the selection process particularly difficult for the faculty, but Vlada Soshkina was at the top of their list."
Soshkina was born in the Ukraine, and came to the United States with her family during childhood, settling in Brooklyn. She graduated summa cum laude from New York University, and won a prize for writing the best honors thesis in the university's Politics Department.
She attained an extraordinary record of academic accomplishment during law school. She was inducted into the Order of the Coif, the highest academic honor a law student can achieve, and was tied for second in her class. She received an honors grade in all four semesters of the Legal Skills Program and also served as a notes editor on the William and Mary Law Review. Her student note was published in Volume 54 of the Law Review and was awarded third place in a national legal writing competition in securities law.
Soshkina was also widely engaged in the life of the Law School. She served as a teaching assistant in Torts and in our legal writing program. She also served as the lead recruitment counsel for the Trial Team, as co-president of the Election Law Society, and as chief of staff of the Student Bar Association. After taking the bar, she will move to New York City with her husband Alex to join the firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges.
"Vlada, we salute you for your remarkable law school success," Douglas said, "and look forward to all that you will accomplish in your life."


According to a recent study, people may be routinely exposed to the dangerous chemical bisphenol A through the everyday consumption of canned foods. Specifically, the study conducted by consumer and food safety advocates, discovered that 46 of 50 grocery store cans tested contained detectable levels of BPA. Consequently, food safety and consumer advocates are calling for a crackdown on companies that use the chemical in the construction of their products’ containers, including a food safety bill set to reach Senate debate in the coming weeks.
Bisphenol A is used in plastics and in the lining of tin cans. It has come under increased scrutiny in recent years because of its ability to mimic human hormones and interrupt the endocrine system, leading to various health effects from breast cancer to obesity. Furthermore, the Endocrine Society issued a scientific statement in 2007—the first it has ever issued—because of concerns over the effects of BPA on humans.
Five states have already limited the amount of BPA allowed in infant formula cans and baby products such as bottles because of concerns that exposure can lead to developmental delays in infants. Moreover, while consumer advocates are backing moves by Congress to ban BPA, the North American Metal Packaging Alliance argue that “BPA has been used for over 30 years” and that governments in Japan, Australia and Europe have concluded that BPA is safe from humans at low doses.

In the era of the #MeToo movement and in the aftermath of certain high-profile sexual harassment claims against celebrities, a new law in New Jersey renders unenforceable non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and other clauses that would waive the rights of victims of discrimination, retaliation or harassment. On March 18, 2019, Governor Phil Murphy signed into law new provisions that restrict the use of NDAs in employment agreements and settlement agreements where the agreement has the purpose or effect of concealing details relating to discrimination, retaliation or harassment claims. In other words, employees can no longer be prevented from publicly disclosing such matters. The law takes immediate effect for all contracts and agreements signed or modified after its signing.
The new law, nearly unanimously passed in the State Assembly and Senate, provides that any NDA in an employment contract or settlement agreement which has the purpose of concealing the details relating to claims of discrimination, retaliation or harassment is unenforceable against a current or former employee who is a party to the contract or settlement. Moreover, every settlement agreement which involves, and resolves, a discrimination, retaliation, or harassment claim, by an employee against an employer, must now include a “bold, prominently placed notice” that states that although the parties may have agreed to keep the terms of the settlement and underlying facts confidential, the provision is unenforceable against the employer if the employee publicly reveals sufficient details of the claim so that the employer is reasonably identifiable. In essence, the new law allows only hollow confidentiality provisions such that the employee is not bound, and if the employee reveals enough information to reasonably identify the employer, the employer is not bound. Thus, the employee is no longer held to abide by traditional confidentiality provisions in these types of cases.
The law prohibits an employer from enforcing or attempting to enforce such a confidentiality clause and also establishes a cause of action prohibiting retaliation against an employee who does not enter into such an agreement. The statute also provides that should an employee be aggrieved by such a violation, the employee may initiate suit in the Superior Court. This newly established cause of action has a two-year statute of limitations, and, as with all violations of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), a prevailing plaintiff is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
The new law further provides that no employment contract may contain a provision prospectively waiving any of employee’s rights or remedies under the LAD or any other statute or case law. The statute does, however, exempt collective bargaining agreements, and clarifies that it does not prohibit non-competition agreements or obligations of an employee to maintain confidentiality of trade secrets, business plan and customer information.
Since confidentiality is often a key requirement (and incentive) for many employers and parties to bring claims to a successful resolution, the law will likely result in less settlements and thus, prolonged and costly litigation. The law also appears, on its face, to raise questions as to the enforceability of arbitration agreements for certain employment related claims and will certainly be the subject of future litigation as the courts test the limits (or expansiveness) of this new statute.

Some of the most important parts of selling and buying a home or other real property are the Seller DISCLOSURES. Full transparency in seller disclosures is KEY to a successful transaction and beyond— in fact my guess is that non-disclosure is probably the most common cause of lawsuits in real estate!
This cannot be overstated: when you’re selling a property, it’s EXTREMELY important that you disclose anything and everything you know about the property that may in any way be a concern to the buyer.
The definition of “Material Fact” according to USLegal.com is “a fact that is important, significant or essential to a reasonable person in deciding whether to engage or not to engage in a particular transaction, issue or matter at hand.”
Look, as a seller, it is your responsibility to disclose any known Material Facts to the buyer. If you have to ask if you should disclose something, then most likely the answer is most likely “YES.”
On many occasions, a home seller will ask me if they should “mention this” or “say anything about that…” adding “—it was all repaired.” Here’s the thing— most buyers will appreciate (and expect) your honesty when you do mention the leak in the wall that was repaired, or the part of the driveway that pools water when it rains. First of all, if it’s a big deal and you’re worried about it scaring the buyer away (think a cracked slab)— then that’s one of the most important disclosure to make!
Take it from my personal experience— there are many things buyers will perceive as minuscule when properly disclosed during escrow, that the same buyers may perceive as major and passionately pursue the seller for once discovered after the transaction has closed (and many times win).
Take away: When selling your home, cover your own butt and make sure to disclose every possible material fact that you know about the property.

Bacterial endotoxins are contaminants from gram-negative bacteria and are the most common cause of pyrogenicity in pharmaceutical products. “Any preparation administered parenterally should be sterile and comply with the test for bacterial endotoxins (BET) as described in the Ph. Eur.,” the EDQM says.
Endotoxin contamination issues most recently put a wrench in GlaxoSmithKline’s Canadian flu plant, which was hit with a warning letter last summer for the problems.
In 2012, the US FDA set out its own perspective on endotoxin and pyrogen testing, noting that the testing should be conducted in accordance with quality by design concepts.
The new policy means that it’s up to the user to determine whether they come into compliance with the set limits.
“It is up to the user of the Ph. Eur. to determine whether compliance to BET is needed or not for a given substance. Where a test is included in the monograph with no specific limit, it is up to the user to set the limit for the substance, based on the following considerations: use of the substance (route of administration, patient population); calculation according to the formula given in general chapter 5.1.10; process capability; or any other considerations raised by the competent authority.”
These new consequences for users come as a test for bacterial endotoxins is not included in new monographs for substances for pharmaceutical use. However, the requirements of the general monograph Substances for pharmaceutical use (2034) apply.
“A test is included only where a specific method has to be described, for example if a specific sample preparation has to be used or if a specific method has to be applied,” the EDQM says. “If a test is included in the monograph, no limit is given for the test.”
Other changes include:
- General chapter 5.1.10 is expanded with further considerations regarding the setting up of limits; and
- General monograph Substances for pharmaceutical use (2034) is also “slightly reworded in order to take the above policy into consideration.”
EDQM said it ran into issues during the elaboration of a monograph, as it is not always known at the level of the manufacturing of the substance whether the substance is to be used for the production of a parenteral preparation and therefore it is not known whether compliance with the BET is needed or not.
“According to the general monograph Parenteral preparations (0520), pharmaceutical preparations to be used parenterally have to comply with the test for bacterial endotoxins or, where justified and authorised, the test for pyrogens,” according to the new policy.
