Beverly Hills Immigration Law: Utah Immigration Law Could Hinge ...

Salt Lake Tribune (by David Montero): So now the two sides wait while eight judges sort through the immigration time bomb known simply known as SB1070.

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff read the transcripts of Wednesday's U.S. Supreme Court hearing on Arizona's enforcement-only law and said, based on the questioning from the justices, it was difficult to imagine how they wouldn't uphold provisions of SB1070.

By doing that, he said, it would seem all but certain Utah's version " HB497 " would also stand. "It seems it was a pretty harsh day for the federal government," Shurtleff said.

But nothing is certain until as late as June, when the Supreme Court issues a decision on the highly charged provision that turned Arizona into the bull's-eye of the immigration debate. That law led to a domino-effect among several other states -- including Utah -- to pass similar enforcement-only measures aimed at illegal immigrants.

But Arizona's law differed from Utah's in four key ways -- though all of SB1070's provisions were in effect when Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Provo, first made his proposal public in 2010. But Sandstrom, who met with key critics of the bill on a statewide tour pitching his measure's goals, allowed for HB497 to be altered.

Sandstrom eventually said he didn't want to do what Arizona did as pressure mounted from the business community, leaders in Utah's Republican Party and religious groups to avoid passing a copycat of SB1070. "For example, I don't think it's practical to check status on every single person on, say, a traffic stop," Sandstrom said. "That's one of the things we negotiated on that bill that I think turned out better than the original language."

So instead of requiring local police to check legal status of people during a lawful stop, Sandstrom's version only required it be checked on a felony or Class A misdemeanor stop. On other misdemeanors, the check is left to the officer's discretion.

Instead of requiring people to have papers on them verifying their right to be in the country as Arizona's law does, Sandstrom's version required papers only when a suspect is being questioned in a crime.

And, there is no provision to allow people to sue local police for not enforcing HB497.

Despite those differences, HB497 had a federal court hearing that lasted more than six hours in February as attorneys with the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) and the American Civil Liberties Union argued the Utah law would lead to racial profiling and violations of the Fourth Amendment -- warrantless search and seizure along with unlawful detentions.

U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups delayed a decision in the Utah case until the Supreme Court rules on SB1070.

Karen Tumlin, managing attorney with NILC, said HB497 would be unconstitutional because it would require a person to wait while local police verified legal status -- even after the original reason for a stop had been resolved by either issuing a citation or not finding enough evidence to detain the person. That, she said, would amount to a warrantless arrest.

"We see concern with the police-check provision on SB1070 and HB497, which would lead to unlawful detention," she said.

But even if the Supreme Court upholds SB1070, both that law and Utah's law will still be subject to court hearings as lawsuits filed by civil liberties groups would then go forward.

If the court rules in favor of Arizona and Waddoups believes HB497 should be upheld, the law would take effect despite ongoing civil litigation. Tumlin could attempt to file a temporary restraining order again to block it taking effect.

Gov. Gary Herbert, a named defendant in the HB497 lawsuit, said he was confident it would stand as law. "I've always believed that the Utah immigration law ... is a better law than Arizona's so I just think it was stronger," Herbert said. "If they uphold the Arizona law, I expect they will uphold the Utah law."

The Next Three Games All Hinge On These Factors « Arsenal Arsenal

Three games to go in this extraordinary season.

Three games to secure third place and a guarantee of Champions League football next year (not to mention the increased likelihood of retaining the services of a certain Dutchman who finds the net at moments of his own choosing).

Or three games to slip to fourth, maybe even fifth and re-ignite the poisonous debate about the future of our club and its most successful modern manager.

After a poor performance against Wigan and an unconvincing (though far from terrible) one against Chelsea, it would take a brave man to confidently predict a smooth run-in from here.

I’m not that brave.

I think it’s POSSIBLE we could win our next three games at a canter (Stoke away, Norwich home and West Brom away). I also think it’s possible we could lose two or even all three.

So let’s look at the balance sheet of pros and cons as we go into those games.

The Pros

We have a full week to rest between each game. Not that it seems to have been doing us much good lately.

None of our remaining opponents have anything left to play for.

We have some margin for error – particularly over Totteringham, but also (slightly) over Newcastle thanks to our far superior goal difference.

In recent weeks this team has beaten Totteringham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Everton, AC Milan and Manchester City.

Benny the Goon will be available (he was ineligible to play against Chelsea).

Diaby is back and managed to complete half an hour on Saturday without injuring himself again.

Coquelin is fit again to provide more cover in midfield.

Tomas Rosicky has been in his best Arsenal form for years.

We have two of the best central defenders in Europe.

We have the second highest number of scorers of any team in the EPL this season (17).

We have Robin van Persie and he scores when he wants.

We have Arsène Wenger as our manager.

We are The Arsenal.

The Cons

We are losing key players at this vital time.

Walcott is the latest to add to that list after idiotically trying to run off a hamstring pull. He reminded me of John Cleese playing a knight in The Holy Grail and getting his arm chopped off: “Just a flesh wound!”

With Walcott, Arteta, Mertesacker and Wilshere all unavailable for the rest of the season we can’t afford to have any more of our top players out – especially the PFA Player of the Year (Lord Dennis hear our prayers).

Arteta’s absence may well be the most crucial, as we tend not to win games without him and he dictates the tempo of the team. So far his replacements have been more garden gnome than metronome.

We still haven’t entirely shaken off last season’s bad habit of hitting the self destruct button (witness the two goals in two minutes conceded to Wigan).

In recent weeks this team has lost to both QPR and Wigan.

The zip and zing seems to have vanished from our open play. We need someone to just rip out the handbrake.

Tomas Rosicky is starting to look tired.

Robin van Persie has stopped scoring and looks jaded.

We have Arsène Wenger as our manager.

Which Arsenal are we?

When our strong run of results started in February (coinciding with the return of our orthodox fullbacks) one of the most striking things was the obvious camaraderie among the players.

Led by the captain, the team seemed really to be enjoying each other’s company and relishing one another’s successes.

Lately things have been harder going and the joy and togetherness engendered by some great wins and stunning late goals has been harder to spot.

If we are going to finish the 2011/12 season the way we all hope, the crucial factor (in my view) is going to be the players themselves. Arsene Wenger and the coaching staff can do their bit, but in these last three games it’s going to come down to the players refusing to fail.

In the last few seasons our players have not had the strength of character to finish strongly when it counted.

This year I believe we have a team with greater moral fibre, led by a captain with far greater powers to motivate and inspire than his sulky predecessor. Robin van Persie, regardless of his own scoring form, needs to remember that his role as leader and inspiration could still be the deciding factor in us finishing third.

(I’m sure you have your own ideas of ‘pros and cons’ that I have failed to include. Please share them in the comments).

How to Make a Piano Hinge Book - Bamboo carving|bamboo craft ...

Posted in Uncategorized on 04/26/2012 01:32 am by admin

A piano hinge book can be used as a scrapbook, picture book or sticker book–the possibilities are seemingly endless. This project is fun to do with children or with your crafty friends. It also makes a great gift. Making piano hinge books with different themes is as easy as changing the paper and decorative beads you use for each one. Other People Are ReadingHow to Install a Piano HingeHow to Make an Easy Shelf Using a Piano HingePrint this articleThings You’ll Need10 sheets 8½-by-11 inch cardstock1 sheet thick 8 ½-by-11 inch decorative or handmade paperBone folderX-acto knife or craft knifeCutting matSharp scissorsPhoto cutter (optional)RulerPencilCraft gel adhesive or strong bonding glue11 bamboo skewersWaxed linen thread or waxed dental flossBeads and shells with holesClear acrylic sealerDremel tool or wire cuttersShow MoreInstructions Making the Signatures1Fold each piece of cardstock in half, one at a time. Make a defined crease by folding the cardstock over the sharper edge of the bone folder. Using the scissors or photo cutter, cut each piece in half to make 20 8 ½-by-5 ½ inch sheets.2Again, fold each piece of cardstock in half, using the bone folder to define the crease. The folded sheet is called a folio.3Place one folio inside the other. The two folios together make a signature. Continue putting the signatures together, two folios in each. When you are done, you should have 10 signatures.4On one signature, use the ruler to mark out four triangular-shaped notches in the folded side. Try to space the notches evenly; these can be 1 to 1 ½ cm at the widest point. Cut the notches out with the scissors. This signature is now your template.5Place the signature template over each uncut signature, one at a time. Mark the notches in each signature, then cut the notches out with the scissors.Be precise when marking the notches with the template so that the notches line up evenly.Making the Cover and Binding6Fold the handmade paper in half and cut to make two pieces measuring 8 ½-by-5 ½ inches. Fold each sheet in half one at a time and glue together. Leave an unglued margin 1 to 1 ½ inches from the fold. If necessary, place the two sheets underneath a heavy book to dry flat.7Using one of the signatures, mark off the four notches in the folded edge of each book cover with a pencil. The pieces between the notches are the five tabs. Using the ruler as a straight edge, align it just above the top of each notch. Draw a straight line over the tabs on both covers.8Following the straight line, cut the first, third and fifth tab from one cover with the craft knife on the cutting mat. Cut the second and fourth tab from the other cover. Fold back the tabs on the cover with two tabs, then line this piece up with one of the signatures. Fold the second and fourth tabs back on the signature.9Begin weaving a skewer through the first tab on the signature and pass it through the cover tab, then the third signature tab, then the next cover tab, and then out through the last signature tab. Push the skewer through until the ends protrude evenly from both sides.10Fold back the second and fourth tabs on the next signature, place it next to the first signature woven through the cover and weave another skewer through. Be sure to alternate tabs on the signatures as you go, as this will keep them together. Repeat the process until you have woven all the signatures together, then add the back cover.Sewing and Decorating11Cut four 12-inch pieces from the waxed linen thread and four 18-inch pieces. Use the 12-inch pieces to sew the bottom of the book and the 18-inch pieces for the top. Begin sewing at the bottom by folding one of the 12-inch pieces in half and positioning the crease over the skewers at the front of the book. Bring the two ends back toward the skewers at the back of the book, and make sure they are even.12Holding one side of the string down, weave the other side through the skewers until you reach the back. Then weave the other string through the opposite skewers. When you are weaving, keep the thread close to the signatures and maintain tension evenly. Double-knot the two ends together over the last skewer.13Repeat the process with the other three 12-inch lengths of thread, then weave the 18-inch lengths at the top in the same fashion, sewing this time toward the front of the book (the top string knots will be in front, and the bottom strings are knotted at the back of the book). Strings should appear neat. If you find you have skipped a skewer or doubled up the string on one, pull the string and start it over. Ideally, you should check for evenness as you go.14Check the knots at the top and bottom for tightness, then trim the strings at the bottom, leaving ½ inch to 1 inch of thread hanging. Use the wire cutters or Dremel tool to trim the skewers down at the top and bottom.15Add shells and beads to the strings at the top. If you do not want to decorate all eight strings, trim the unused strings down to an inch away from the knot; alternately, if you have three undecorated, braid them together and add a bead or two at the bottom before knotting.16Spray the clear acrylic sealer over the binding thread and on the knots at the end of the decorated threads.

Chapter 13: The Panama Crew | Plot Hinge

Outcome of Chapter 12 Plot Hinge: Both Don Quixote and Macbeth were available for checkout at the Guelph Public Library main branch. As a result, Isaiah’s breakout plan has been successful! Will was able to reach the control booth to keep the gate open and they have stolen Kruschack’s journal from the Windigos.

Victor Davidson shook his head as he watched the scene unfold from his perch in the Windigo helicopter. If it had been anyone besides Donovan Isaiah they were chasing he’d have thought Bellakov was crazy for sending this much manpower. He could hardly believe it. Agent Isaiah: a double agent?

The giant cloud of dust below his position came from the fifteen SUVs racing south along the mountain roads. Each of those vehicles was loaded with agents, most of whom Agent Isaiah had personally trained. They had virtually emptied the Canmore facility, leaving behind a skeleton crew and a few agents Bellakov thought might be a bit too loyal to Isaiah for their own good. The rest had been dispatched after the escapees.

A much smaller cloud of dust could be seen less than a kilometer ahead; coming from the lumbering prison transport Isaiah had jacked from the courtyard.

Davidson looked further down the road. The local police busied themselves with the final touches on the roadblock Ms. Bellakov had demanded, blocking off access to the highway. Having the chief of police in their pocket had its perks.

“I’ve got a lock on the target, sir,” the pilot said through the headset.

“Nope,” Agent Davidson replied, popping a stick of gum in his mouth. “Bellakov wants the kid alive.” A shame, really. He was dying to test out the new weapons systems on this thing.

Anyways, tt wouldn’t be necessary. Davidson watched as the large cloud of dust swallowed up the little one; his agents surrounding their prey. A minute later the cloud had settled as the prison transport was forced to a halt. An army of Windigos ringed the vehicle, weapons drawn.

“Wooo!” Davidson yelled, slapping the pilot on the back. “Looks like we’ll be home for dinner after all.” Bagging Isaiah was going to look good come review time. “Davidson to Klemm,” he said, connecting with his lead agent on the ground. “Are the prisoners secure?”

No response. “Agent Klemm. Report.”

“Uh, yeah, the driver has been secured,” Agent Klemm said finally, his voice crackling over the headset. “But we’ve got a problem sir.”

Agent Davidson suddenly felt uneasy.

“It’s Isaiah and the Dalton kid,” Klemm continued. “They’re not here, sir!”

The uneasiness turned to queasiness.

They had virtually emptied the Canmore facility, leaving behind a skeleton crew. A skeleton crew. “Oh, God,” Davidson said. “Everybody! Back to HQ – now!”

Meanwhile, back at HQ…

“Explain to me again why we’re not halfway to Calgary by now?” Will asked as he and the Man in Charge snaked their way through the deserted corridors of the Windigo Facility. Well, near deserted. Agent Isaiah had been leaving a trail of unconscious guards behind him like a trail of breadcrumbs.

“Because, Mr. Dalton,” Isaiah answered matter-of-factly as he shot out another camera. “The third Ma’chavu key is here, not Calgary.”

The Ma’chavu keys. Will still wasn’t sure what it all meant. Or why he had one of those keys tattooed on his shoulder. The journal Gable had given him before speeding off in the prison transport was apparently another one.

“Well, as much as I’m enjoying being part of your key collection,” Will said, “I’m not so thrilled at being inside one of these facilities again.”

“Relax, Mr. Dalton. I got you out of Buenos Aires, I’ll get you out of here.”

A bit of plaster exploded off the wall next to Will’s face as the sound of gunfire suddenly filled the hallway. Relax. Right. Agent Isaiah grabbed Will and pushed him through a doorway. Isaiah followed in after and slammed the door closed behind him. Will did a quick scan of the room. It looked like a cafeteria. It also looked like there was only one way in or out of it.

Isaiah pulled a few items from the pack he had taken from one of the fallen agents and quickly affixed something to the door. A red light blinked on the small device. “Get back,” he said, flipping one of the tables over and ducking behind it.

The sound of pounding footsteps could be heard in the hallway, approaching the doorway. “Come on in, boys,” Agent Isaiah muttered.

The door didn’t open. Will peeked over the table just as a battering ram came crashing through the cafeteria wall several feet away from the door. Five agents poured in through the hole. Isaiah jumped to his feet and pointed his gun at the agents. They pointed theirs right back.

Theirs were bigger.

After a few tense seconds, the standoff ended and Agent Isaiah dropped his weapon, kicking it toward the Windigos.

One of the agents removed his helmet and jerked a thumb toward the door. “Rigged it to blow, didn’t you?” he said with a thick Australian accent.

“Worked in Panama,” Isaiah replied.

The Aussie chuckled. “Yeah. I remember. Why’d you think I came through the wall?”

Agent Isaiah smiled. The first real smile Will had ever seen on him. The other four agents, two men, two women, removed their helmets and holstered their weapons. The Aussie, however, kept his drawn and pointed at the Man in Charge.

“Are you insane, Donovan?” one of the women said. “Do you have any idea the kind of trouble you’re in? You remember what the Chinese did to you in ’08? That’s nothing compared to what Bellakov’s going to do.”

“Yeah, boss,” one of the other agents said. “This is loco.”

“I know, Diez,” Isaiah said. “But right now I need you to trust me. And I need you to get me and the kid to the 12th floor.” He turned his attention back to the Aussie. “I need my Panama Crew.”

Plot Hinge: May Day, May 1st, 2012

May 1st is International Workers’ Day, a celebration of the international labour movement, which usually involves marches by working people in countries all over the world. We’ll use this date to decide who the Panama Crew really works for: Irene Bellakov or Agent Isaiah.

1. If at 12 noon (EST) on May 1st, the homepage of the National Post has a story about May Day/International Workers’ Day, then Agent Isaiah’s Panama Crew will remain loyal to him and will help him get to the 12th floor.
2. If there is no story about May Day, then the Panama Crew will remain loyal to Bellakov and lock up Agent Isaiah and Will.

Chapter 14 goes live on May 3rd! How do you like the story so far? Feel free to leave comments below or email me your thoughts, questions and ideas. And if you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe in the top right of the screen to receive email notifications whenever a new chapter is posted.

The Hinge (April 26, 2012) « Where the Wind…

…Opening To…

A marvelous and mighty paradox has thus occurred, for the death which they thought to inflict on Him as dishonor and disgrace has become the glorious monument to death’s defeat. (St. Athanasius)

…Listening In…

Jesus said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law from Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. He said to them, “This is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and a change of heart and life for the forgiveness of sins must be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. Look, I’m sending to you what my Father promised, but you are to stay in the city until you have been furnished with heavenly power.” (Luke 24:44-49; context)

…Filling Up…

Day eight of ten of our celebration of the Resurrection and our last day with Luke’s account of the Gospel. The verses above are the hinges that link the Gospel according to Luke with the Acts of the Apostles, which is Luke’s sequel. (This gets confusing when looking at the way the Bible is laid out because John interrupts Luke’s story.)

Notice here that Jesus links the past with the future through his words. He reminds the disciples that he let them know what would happen way back before any of it went down. But they didn’t understand then, so he makes sure they understand now. In the Gospel’s version of the Vulcan mindmeld,* Jesus opens their minds to all the stuff about him (just as he had down with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus).

Then he gives them a charge to preach forgiveness to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem. He echoes this charge at the beginning of Acts (since the last chapter of Luke and first chapter of Acts overlap). This charge happens in the present.

Then he moves to the future: “Look, I’m sending to you what my Father promised, but you are to stay in the city until you have been furnished with heavenly power.” With these words, Jesus lets them know that the Holy Spirit is coming to empower their lives – but not until after Jesus ascends to heaven.

With this passage, Luke links his two books, which are really just one long story. There’s the past, the present, and the future. And then there’s us – followers of Jesus spiritually descended from those first followers. We, too, are Jesus’ witnesses. We, too, have the “heavenly power” within us. We, too, are called to preach forgiveness and reconciliation. So let’s get out there and go.

…Praying For…

Dear God, your Son gave us a mission and the power to fulfill it. Help me to live everyday of my life with your call pulling my heart where you would lead. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

…Sending Out…

I leave this moment with you, God, rejoicing that you raised your Son from the dead and showed me that nothing in all of creation can separate me from your love.

* Mindmeld. Sorry, non-Trek fans for throwing that bit of vocab at you.
