Justin Trudeau is accusing the Conservative government of adopting immigration policies toward Muslims akin to the Second World War policies restricting Jews' entry into Canada.
His harsh criticism was part of his speech, "Canadian Liberty and the Politics of Fear," which he delivered Monday night in Toronto to about 500 McGill University alumni.
"So we should all shudder to hear the same rhetoric that led to a 'none is too many' immigration policy toward Jews in the '30s and '40s being used today, to raise fears against Muslims today," he said.
The "none is too many" reference is to the title of the book by Irving Abella and Harold Troper. It was written several decades ago and argues that Canada was one of the most resistant countries in the Western world to saving Jews from Europe.
His linking of the plight of Jews then to Muslims now forms part of his attack on the federal Conservatives for distorting the rights and freedoms of Canadians.
The remarks come just a month after he announced his support for the most sweeping changes to security legislation since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and as MPs prepare for three days of hearings this week on the Conservatives' new legislation – Bill C-51, also known as the Anti-Terrorism Act (2015). Critics have condemned it for restricting Canadians' freedoms. It will strengthen the powers of the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and criminalize the promotion of terrorism.
"Conservatives pretend to talk a good game about freedom, but look at what they have done with it," Mr. Trudeau said. "They have fallen a long way from the era of Sir John A. Macdonald to the 'why do you hate freedom?' taunts of the recently departed Sun News Network."
Stephen Lecce, spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office, issued a statement in response. "Through the Anti-Terrorism Act 2015, we are taking decisive action to thwart efforts to use Canada as a recruiting ground, prevent terrorism travel and attacks on our soil," he said.
Mr. Trudeau made only a fleeting reference to the new bill, which he has said his party will support but will try to amend if it forms a government. The Official Opposition NDP is opposed to the legislation.
Mr. Trudeau said "… our social contract sometimes requires us to moderate our freedoms in order to ensure we maintain them in the long run."
"The ongoing question for democracies is how we strike the right balance."
He did not offer any specifics about how he would amend the legislation to reflect that balance. Rather, he said these questions will be answered in his party's national security policy in its election platform. An election is expected in the fall. Polls show the bill is extremely popular among Canadians, especially in Quebec.
The Tories introduced it after the deaths of the two soldiers – one in Quebec and one in Ottawa – last October, which they quickly labelled as terrorist attacks.
Mr. Trudeau has been criticized by Conservatives and fellow Liberals alike for being weak on the security file. He voted against sending Canadian fighter jets to Iraq and made an off-colour remark about providing humanitarian aid rather than "whip out our CF-18s and show them how big they are." Senior Liberals argued for a Canadian combat mission to fight the Islamic State.
Meanwhile, in his speech, Mr. Trudeau characterizes the Conservatives' approach to politics as "corrosive."
"It stokes anxiety and foments fear," he said. "Instead of encouraging Canadians to fight for one another's liberty, it tells us to be suspicious of each other's choices."
And he warned against blurring the line "between a real security threat and simple prejudice."
"In defending Canada, we cannot allow ourselves to become less Canadian."
Mr. Trudeau talked also about the Muslim woman from Quebec, Rania El-Alloul, who wore a head scarf to court. The judge refused to hear her case unless she removed her hijab.
"Rania's story is part of a troubling trend that Mr. Harper seems keen to accelerate and exploit," said Mr. Trudeau, noting that the Conservatives' policy declaring that women cannot wear a niqab during citizenship ceremonies was overturned by the Federal Court of Appeal.

The senior noseguard from Statesboro, Ga., got up in front of his teammates last Sunday and talked about the importance of finishing the regular season with wins over rivals Georgia and Alabama.
On Saturday night in Athens, in his last game vs. the Georgia Bulldogs, Thompson contributed four solo tackles, but it wasn't enough to stop the men in black who rallied with four uncontested second half touchdowns to knock off Auburn 45-20 at Sanford Stadium.
"That was pretty tough, especially being from Georgia," Thompson said. "They just came out and played hard and made big plays when they needed to and we didn't make big plays when we needed to.
"You have to hand it to them," Thompson said. "They played well and we didn't."
Thompson said the Tigers will look at game video on Monday "to see what went wrong." With their first off-week coming up after 11 straight games without a break, the Tigers won't have their regular practice on Sunday.
"They were making plays in the running game when they needed to and in the throwing game when they needed to," said Thompson, who added, "I don't think we executed third down very well tonight."
The numbers back up the senior's theory. The Bulldogs converted 8-13 third downs and were one of one on fourth down. UGA moved into the red zone five times and scoreD on each trip.
Thompson said as disappointing as the loss is to the Bulldogs, it won't affect Auburn's performance in the upcoming regular season finale vs. Alabama a week from Saturday.
"It won't be hard," he said. "We will just pick our hats and start back at it. Alabama is the biggest game of the year for us. We will come back at it hard this week."

The manuscript tradition of Froissart’s Chronicles is a particularly rich quarry for research into many aspects of the period (history, art history, book production, language and literature), but research has to date been hampered by difficulties in comparing original materials dispersed to libraries across several countries. The Online Froissart offers access to the core manuscript tradition of the first three Books of Froissart’s Chronicles, and to some manuscripts of Book IV. It delivers complete or partial transcriptions of all 114 surviving manuscripts containing Books I-III, partial transcriptions of three witnesses of Book IV, a new translation into modern English of a selection of chapters, providing readers with an accessible way of exploring chapters selected from the first three Books, several complete high-resolution reproductions of illuminated manuscript copies, including many pages containing miniatures, and a range of secondary materials (codicological descriptions, name/place index, historical and textual commentaries accompanying the transcriptions, scholarly essays, a glossary and some commentaries on the illustrations). A Quick start page for new users provides a quick orientation.
The Online Froissart also provides a number of advanced tools with which to unlock the riches of the resource. These include a collation tool allowing word-by-word comparisons for select chapters, a search engine for simple and complex queries, a transcription viewing mode allowing users to go straight to definition entries in the online Dictionnaire du Moyen Français, and a dedicated manuscript viewer for manipulating the electronic facsimiles. Well-known episodes can be quickly located via the chapter summaries or using the page numbers of modern editions.
The Online Froissart is the result of an international collaborative project led by Peter Ainsworth and Godfried Croenen, to which a large number of scholars have contributed. The project received AHRC funding between 2007 and 2010. More information about project history, the various collaborators on the project and each collaborator’s contributions can be found under About the Project.

What the eye does is to find and focus on the particular subject within the mass of reality; what the camera does is simply to register upon film the decision made by the eye.
— Henri Cartier-Bresson —
The Cartier-Bresson show at the Pompidou was overwhelming in scope, but exquisite to walk through: the golden ratio, the fixed explosive, indeed, the decisive moment. I am not a photographer, although I do enjoy taking pictures: thinking about them, working with them – knowing, in this modern day of iPhoneography, that I have the ability to crop, lighten, filter, or erase. My relationship to taking pictures has changed, and Paris helps me track that change. For instance, until this summer I had not set foot inside the Palais Garnier in more than fourteen years. The last time I had a chance to photograph Chagall’s ceiling, I captured it on actual film. Cartier-Bresson writes, “You wait and wait, and then finally you press the button – and you depart with the feeling (though you don’t know why) that you’ve really got something.” For me that feeling was always hope, mixed with a certain bleak premonition that it would turn out all wrong – out of focus, poorly lit, or more likely, getting back a roll of film only to discover that I had my finger in the way.
I like the instant gratification of digital photography, although part of me does miss the anticipation. There was wonder in the waiting. Seeing what we capture in the moment of its capture, though, I’ve developed a different relationship to the pictures I take. I’m not sure how to explain it. I appreciate them more. I think about them more. They start to mean something.

Another weekend, another dozen-plus Specialty films entering the crowded theatrical market. The end of summer opened the floodgates of limited release titles and momentum has continued into fall. A number, of course, are four walling in support of their VOD/digital release and often disappear after a couple of weeks. Most execs have expressed concern for the saturation, but maintain that their releases are unique and have a shot at standing out in a crowded market. Noted one indie veteran this week, “It is both not sustainable and not going to change. There is an embarrassment of riches in the theatrical marketplace this season so you better have the goods if you want to compete.” This week’s Preview includes nine of the newcomers hitting theaters this weekend. Notably, two of the week’s biggest roll outs are targeted toward niche (albeit large niches) markets. Bollywood will have a big North American roll out with Besharam from Reliance, while faith-centered audiences will welcome Grace Unplugged via Roadside and Lionsgate. Among the others bowing in limited release are Phase 4’s Slamdance winner The Dirties, Magnolia’s Bad Milo!, Ketchup’s doc Linsanity, Film Arcade’s A.C.O.D., Sundance titles I Used To Be Darker from Strand and Sundance Selects’ doc The Summit. And Paladin will open Five Dances in limited release.
2013 Slamdance Grand Jury Prize winner The Dirties. The drama revolves around two best friends who film a comedy about getting revenge on bullies at their high school, but one of the would-be filmmakers takes matters beyond a big screen fantasy. “Elyse Seiden from the Kevin Smith Movie Club saw the film at the 2013 Slamdance Film Festival and brought it to us and Kevin,” said Phase 4 CEO Berry Meyerowitz. “Kevin was over the top about the film so he pursued it for our label together. The club is a great jumping off point for independent filmmakers, and The Dirties is the type of movie that has just the right amount of edge to mobilize and create conversation among the Kevin Smith fan base.” Phase 4 is hoping to broaden the film’s audience beyond the KS Club’s core 18-34 male group via the topic of bullying. “Our intent with the audience is to create conversation around bullying while also positioning this film against others of its kind,” said Meyerowitz. “The Dirties is unique in how it takes a neutral stance while creating understanding of the plight of the victims and the (potential) consequences of bullying.”
The Dirties is premiering day-and-date on October 4th coinciding with the start of the new school year and National Bullying Prevention Month. It will open in L.A., NYC and Toronto and will add locations in Ohio, Kansas and Austin in the coming weeks. Added Meyerowitz: “We are confident that the audience interest on this film will continue to build over the coming weeks as more and more fans have the opportunity to watch it.”
Director Abhinav Kashyap pitched his script to Indian media powerhouse Reliance Entertainment after his blockbuster Dabangg (Fearless). The romantic comedy, which will have a comparatively wide opening for a Bollywood title in North America this weekend follows Babli, a street smart car mechanic living in a Delhi orphanage who is charming and lives life to the fullest. He also steals cars to support his orphanage. “The challenge is to reach out to the South Asian audiences who are widely dispersed in North America,” said Reliance Entertainment COO Mahesh Ramanathan. “Unlike India where one media platform delivers 90% of your reach, in North America Reliance had to use a multi-pronged approach including flying out the lead cast of the film for promotions. Also we use a variety of targeted media vehicles-Internet, print, radio and TV to reach out to Bollywood film lovers.” Using a similar approach niche distributors such as China Lion who release films targeting a specific background, Reliance is opening the film on this continent as it opens at home. “Reliance has been constantly targeting audiences outside the South Asian community through mainstream press and reviews,” said Ramanathan. “This has helped if the story is more universal and travels. Reliance Entertainment’s 3 Idiots still holds the record for the highest grossing Indian film of all time in North America with a U.S. $6.5 million gross. So ‘push’ can combine with audience ‘pull’ if we make efforts to top it over.”
Besharam will open in 217 theaters in North America. “Ranbir Kapoor is an ascendant star in the Bollywood film firmament,” added Ramanathan. “His parents Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor who star in the film as well have tremendous goodwill among the South Asian community. This is Ranbir’s 11th film in 6 years and his last two films have grossed almost $4 million in North America. Only three Bollywood films, including 3 Idiots, have crossed the $4 million mark which have had a star with a two-decade-old career in Bollywood.This gives you an idea of Ranbir’s box office draw.”
Vaughn said that “professional jealousy” precipitated writer-director Jacob Vaughn’s idea to make Bad Milo! for the big screen. The horror/comedy is centered on a man who learns that his unusual stomach problems are being caused by a demon living in his intestines. “An acquaintance had gotten funding for a horror film that I (in my questionably good judgement) felt didn’t deserve funding,” offered up Vaughn. “Benjamin Hayes, the co-writer, and I started talking about horror films that we respected a lot — early Cronenberg films especially, as well as Gremlins and other creature features of the ’80s — and suddenly I blurted out the idea of a creature coming out of a guy’s ass. It was a joke at first, but then it continued to make us laugh.” The joke morphed quickly into a basic plot, though the duo were skeptical about being able to find financing. Lack of funds, however, let them unleash their outlandish ideas into a script. “John Norris was the first producer who came on board and was a champion of the script,” said Vaughn. “Then [I gave the second] draft of the script to Mark and Jay [Duplass]. I was working as an assistant editor on Cyrus and we were old friends from college (UT at Austin). They offered to come on as executive producers to help get the film made. Meanwhile, we finished Cyrus and jumped straight into Jeff Who Lives At Home. Ben and I used that time to do revision after revision of the script — we knew it needed work and we wanted to make it as air tight as possible.”
After working on Katie Aselton’s Black Rock, the group began pushing Milo via contacts at ICM, which found financing. New Artists Alliance and Floren Shieh came through with funds and then production began. “Who knew making an ass monster movie would be so easy,” said Vaughn. The film premiered at SXSW and Magnolia picked up rights soon afterward. Bad Milo! will open 11 cities this weekend including New York’s Cinema Village and Sundance Sunset Cinemas in L.A. The film will add several markets including Santa Cruz, CA, Charlotte, NC and Columbus, OH on October 10.
Lionsgate produced faith-centered drama Grace Unplugged, about a Christian teen who is a phenomenal singer. At 18, she gets the music break of a lifetime and is sent to “the real world” of Hollywood where, naturally her faith is put to the test. “People have compared it a bit to Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, but not based on them but people point out the parallels,” said Roadside co-president Howard Cohen. “She goes to Hollywood and has to choose between making it and being a Christian and dad is afraid for her when she goes to Hollywood.” Cohen said the album from the film has already rocketed to number one on the Christian charts and it has been screening heavily for “religious influencers” for the past six months. “[Lionsgate] had done an earlier film with the filmmakers called No Greater Love, which was made primarily for home entertainment, but they had a great experience and then started talking to them about this [project,” said Cohen. “We also did a film called Bella. The faith film arena has been an interest for Lionsgate.” Cohen added that Grace Unplugged is a “lower budgeted instructional religious movie that is made with entertainment in mind,” adding, “I think it’s one of the best made movies for this audience yet.”
The film has been heavily advertised in the faith space ahead of this weekend’s substantial roll out in 511 theaters in addition to advertising spends on Glee and ABC Family. Markets will be weighted toward the Bible Belt and Midwest, Cohen noted. “We’ll go from there. It’s not as large as [past faith-centered titles] Courageous (in 1,100 locations, 2011) and Fireproof (in 800 runs, 2008), but those were basically sequels.”
Documentary Linsanity will also tap the faith-based audience along with Asian-American and sports crowds for its bow Friday. The folks at Ketchup Entertainment caught Linsanity, the feature documentary about basketball sensation Jeremy Lin, the first Asian-American in the NBA, at Sundance in January. “The producers were following him before Linsanity happened,” said Ketchup’s head of acquisitions Stephen Stanley. “So instead of being a retrospective, they were on the ground as it was happening. The project already had a swell of support via its Kickstarter campaign and Ketchup has tapped that group as part of its push ahead of this weekend’s opening. “We have kept that grass roots approach and have continued to work with those groups. We’re doing a targeted roll out,” added Stanley. “Our philosophy is to find the core audience and build it out from there.” Ketchup will open the film in NYC’s AMC Village in addition to the Kabuki and Bluelight Cinemas in San Francisco where Lin grew up as well as the AMC Studio and Sundance cinemas in Houston. It will also bow in San Diego and Chicago. It will head next to Seattle and will open in South Coast Plaza in addition to other cities October 11.
Comedy feature A.C.O.D. (that’s Adult Children of Divorce) debuted at the Sundance Film Festival where distributor Film Arcade first saw the title. The movie centers on a grown man caught in the crossfire of his parents 15-year divorce. He discovers he was unknowingly part of a study on divorced children and is enlisted in a follow-up years later, which wreaks new havoc on his family. In addition to the 50 percent of the country that are A.C.O.D.s themselves, the movie plays equally well to men and women,” said Film Arcade. “We’re running a robust media campaign across TV, radio, newspaper and online targeting comedy lovers, indie filmgoers, and fans of our fantastic cast.” The company has also created a series of videos and faux PSAs that have caught traction via social media ahead of its opening this weekend at Landmark’s Sunshine and AMC Lincoln Square in New York as well as the Landmark in L.A. “We believe A.C.O.D. is the perfect comedy to counter-program opposite Gravity. This is a traditionally released film. Our partners at Paramount will be releasing the film on VOD & DVD in 2014.”
Strand co-head Marcus Hu saw I Used To Be Darker at Sundance where it debuted in the festival’s NEXT section. The musical drama follows a runaway who seeks refuge with her aunt and uncle in Baltimore amidst marital crisis and her cousin’s downward spiral. “I went to the very first screening of it there,” said Hu. “I’ve been following Matt’s films since Hamilton and Putty Hill. It gave me the kind of feeling I’d had when I saw great works of Alan Rudolph and Robert Altman. It reminded me a lot of Welcome To L.A – [but as] the Baltimore version of that.” Hu noted that The New Yorker and others have been responding to the film which suggests the cinephile crowd will be a mainstay for the film as it heads into theatrical release, though he acknowledges the backdrop of divorce may be challenging for some. “I hope it has a broader appeal, but of course it’s also a tough movie about divorce and how people perceive divorce,” said Hu. “So it’s not easy, but I also think it’s a very beautiful movie. We have music people who are doing outreach with Ned and Kim.” Ned Oldham and Kim Taylor will be on a song tour which the release schedule will roughly mirror.
“The film will open IFC Center in New York where Kim and Ned are performing and Matt will do Q&As,” said Hu. “It will next head to L.A. For me personally, it feels very indie and one of the most passionate of the year that we’re releasing.”
The idea behind Sundance Editing and World Documentary Award-winner The Summit came when filmmaker Nick Ryan heard a frightening statistic. The doc centers on the deadliest day on the world’s most dangerous mountain known as K2, when 11 climbers mysteriously perished. The tragedy in 2008 was a worldwide media event,” said director Nick Ryan. “A colleague of one climber who was on the mountain alerted me to the fact that the full story wasn’t been told, and initially it was an attempt to address that issue. I was drawn to the statistic that for every four people who have reached the summit of K2 one had died trying. It seemed like a peculiar form of insanity to me and I wanted to know why someone would put their lives at risk with worse odds than Russian roulette.” Ryan pursued the story over four years, but had challenges finding people who would share their stories. Filming also proved to have a number of technical and safety challenges. Sundance Selects picked up the title at the Sundance Film Festival for a reported low 7-figure deal and will open the film in NYC, Boulder, Seattle and Los Angeles this weekend followed by a wide national roll out. VOD etc will come at a later date.
Five Dances opened the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Dance On Camera film series last February and has since traveled the international film circuit in Europe, Israel and South America. The coming of age tale centers on a gifted young dancer who arrives in New York City. Paladin chief Mark Urman had worked with writer-director Alan Brown on his previous film Private Romeo and began to collaborate on this film’s release strategy soon after wrapping. “Although Alan has developed a considerable LGBT following, we truly believed that Five Dances was first and foremost a dance film,” said Urman. “So while the film naturally played several prominent LGBT events – and winning prizes along the way – it played Lincoln Center, Jacobs Pillow and is benefiting from the support of the Dance Film Association among other important dance influencers. Alan even did a music video on the very set where he shot Five Dances to a cover of Whitney Houston’s “I Want To Dance With Somebody” that has gone viral. It’s a great curtain raiser for the film.” Urman said fans of dance, will, naturally, be a fit for the film and noted that dance-oriented films have a long tradition of “soaring at the box office.” He said Five Dances is set in the world of contemporary dance, so it’s not being aimed at “balletomanes or the Broadway crowd.”
Urman noted that the marketplace has been very crowded and competitive this season, but said Five Dances is a stand-out. “There is literally nothing out there even remotely like it,” he added. “Plus we are rolling it out slowly and in many instances, playing such specific venues, that we hope to outlast the season.” Five Dances will open as an exclusive engagement in NYC Friday in addition to Atlanta. Wolfe Video will handle digital and DVD for the film next spring. Added Urman: “In true dance fashion, we are approaching it as more of a ‘tour’ than a traditional theatrical release.”

American Artifact world premieres tonight with two showings at the Red Vic Theatre on Haight Street, 5pm and 7pm.
If only everything about this movie were as cool as that Cheetah wearing sunglasses. Director Merle Becker’s debut documentary has its heart in the right place, and the filmmaker’s passion for posters bleeds from every frame, but American Artifact fails at the crucial task of transmitting this enthusiasm to its audience. Becker thinks we might be made interested in rock posters, and, indeed, we might, but her answer to the question “why should I be interested in rock posters?” seems mostly to consist of “hey, check out this really cool rock poster!” Shirking the documentarian’s role as journalist and cultural historian, the director instead concatenated something closer to a fan film, pitching softball questions to artists she transparently reveres.
In the early going, the film is not helped by one of the lamest set-ups in documentary history. Paraphrased, it goes something like this: “I bought a book about rock posters, and I liked it.” Drawn into the flourishing underground culture of rock poster memorabilia, Becker spent several years traveling the country and interviewing her ink-spattered idols, who expound gamely but tepidly about getting to do what they love, making art on behalf of their favorite bands, with unfettered creative license and a small but steady income.
Much is made of the vast impact that the posters had in their heyday, when Bill Graham was organizing grand, mythical shows at the Fillmore, or when xeroxed Dead Kennedys flyers were coalescing into pulpy mush around the nation’s many telephone poles. This rosy-eyed retrospective even spawns 2009’s worst simile, in which these crude, photocopied punk flyers are described as “like MySpace for the 80’s.”
Poster art’s modern incarnation, as presented by Becker, seems more like eBay for the 60’s, in which zany, spontaneous rabble-rousers are set up as larger-than-life indie celebrities and then swapped on the internet, preferably at gigposters.com, which merits several mentions. It appears as an insular world, an enthusiast’s world. Aging poster artists are shot at behind small tables at Poster Cons, peddling their greatest print runs. You almost expect a guy in a Klingon costume to wander into the frame. It’s a far cry from the “current rock poster art movement” described in the film’s press release.
Becker has a frustrating tendency to gloss over topics she is unable or unwilling to treat with, and the film is plagued by wonky chronology and number of startling omissions. If you lived in a small cave on a mountainside and knew nothing of mass media save what you saw in American Artifact, you might literally think that no one created rock posters in the 70’s, at all. Becker also cherrypicks her genres. Most people think that Ratt is a terrible band (not me), but is it really prudent to suggest that no one ever created a poster to advertise their oh-so-hairy presence?
According to Becker’s film, rock posters worth mentioning were created during four semi-discrete time periods: The late sixties, when pyschedelia was at its peak. The mid-eighties, when punk was in full swing (this segment features several mentions of Phish, no joke). The early nineties, during the salad days of grunge. And finally, the swinging aughts, at least, whenever they involve an artist that the filmmaker particularly enjoys. Viewers expecting a comprehensive or at least comprehensible account of “the rise of American rock poster art” might leave disappointed. Perhaps most notably, the film makes no mention of Raymond Pettibon, arguably the most important rock poster artist of the last three decades. Posters, moreover, are the only topic at hand. If any of these artists ever did an album cover or a t-shirt, we’ll have to find out for ourselves.
Local viewers will get a kick out of the many San Francisco ties, most related to the Fillmore Auditorium and Wolfgang’s Vault, which preserves a vast collection of vintage Fillmore posters. Many SF-based artists are also interviewed, including Victor Moscoso, whose description of how he deliberately violated the traditional precepts of poster-making (be legibile, don’t use loud, clashing colors, etc.) is one of the most intriguing bits of interview.
Sequences that focus on the mechanics of poster-making, whether by block- or screen-printing, give valuable insight into the processes involved in creating the art. Short, throwaway segments with obsessive collectors, who think nothing of dropping $800 on posters in a single day, give hints of what the movie might have been: a more objective look at an obsessive but noble subculture, along the lines of 2006’s sly hit Wordplay. Instead, speaking in cloying first-person in a series of increasingly noxious voiceovers, Becker proves herself incapable of stepping the necessary distance outside the poster culture that she loves–she is a serviceable pulpit-pounder, but a terrible missionary. As a presentation of a lot of really kick-ass poster art, American Artifact is a smashing success. As a documentary, it’s not much of anything.
American Artifact will make it’s world premiere at the Red Vic Theatre, 1727 Haight St., SF. It will play one night only, at 5pm and 7pm.


A Clinton Administration proposal to impose sanctions against Afghanistan’s state-run airline will likely be supported by the U.N. Security council, White House staff suggested today. The sanctions, meant to pressure the Taliban into handing over Osama bin Laden, would involve a total freeze on the airline’s assets and a ban on flying outside Afghan territory. Bin Laden is a suspect in the August 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

A 22-year-old woman from Colorado has been apprehended by law enforcement authorities following allegations of a violent assault on a Tinder date, Your Content has learned.
The incident, which involved tying up, slashing, and throttling the victim, has raised concerns about online dating safety.
The accused, identified as Lauren Marie Tooley, reportedly met the victim through the popular dating app Tinder. According to information gathered by authorities, Tooley and the victim had only interacted for a few hours before she invited him to her apartment.
What transpired during that meeting, however, has shocked the local community.
Authorities state that after engaging in intimate activity, Tooley allegedly proceeded to bind the victim using duct tape, followed by assaulting him physically. The victim reportedly suffered multiple stab wounds and was choked during the ordeal.
Despite the severity of the assault, Tooley’s actions did not stop there.
After the alleged assault, Tooley reportedly placed an order for food delivery through DoorDash. It is believed that she then instructed the victim to remain silent while she retrieved the food.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the victim managed to free himself while Tooley was asleep, utilizing a knife that had been concealed under the bedcovers.
The incident came to light when the victim, having successfully escaped, contacted law enforcement for assistance. Local authorities swiftly responded to the distress call and subsequently arrested Tooley, charging her with multiple counts related to the assault.
The identity of the victim has not been disclosed to protect their privacy, and they were provided with immediate medical attention for the injuries sustained during the ordeal.
This incident has reignited discussions about the potential risks associated with online dating and the importance of personal safety when meeting strangers. Law enforcement officials are urging individuals to exercise caution and be vigilant while interacting with people they’ve met through online platforms.
As legal proceedings unfold, the community remains shaken by the shocking allegations, and experts anticipate that this incident will prompt further discourse on ensuring safety in the realm of modern dating,‘according to Centre Daily Times.

- Experience Mayhew's "Indian Converts": A Cultural Edition
Among the large body of missionary texts documenting the conversion of Native North American peoples during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Experience Mayhew's Indian Converts (1727) is unique for its attention to the individual lives of Wampanoag people on Martha's Vineyard and for the long history of interaction between the Mayhew family and the Indigenous people they sought to convert. Fluent in the Algonquian language Wôpanâak, Mayhew spent his life, like three generations of his family before him, preaching to the Wampanoag community on the island. His book offers the greatest detail of any written about an Algonquian community during the period, and, given the recent scholarly interest in the literature produced around the efforts to Christianize Native people in North America, Laura Arnold Leibman's edition of this significant book is a timely one.
In her insightful introduction Leibman provides the context to make this the "cultural edition" promised in the title. Her primary focus is to show how Indian Converts reflects two theological shifts in colonial New England, first among the English in the form of the changes in Puritanism leading up to the first Great Awakening, and second among the Wampanoag, who experienced a rapidly changing cultural and religious landscape. In her section on the changing face of Puritanism Leibman notes that during Experience Mayhew's life the Calvinist hegemony of his ancestors was on the wane. Mayhew himself was a "Regular Light," finding a middle ground between the conservative "Old Lights" and the [End Page 118] enthusiastic "New Lights" in the debates surrounding eighteenth-century millenarianism. This more moderate position is reflected in Indian Converts, which, as Leibman asserts repeatedly, combines "orthodoxy and innovation" through its conservative theology, on the one hand, and its innovative approach to Indian biography, on the other (3-4). In addition to important historical information on the Mayhews, who dominated island life beginning in 1641, when Thomas Mayhew acquired Martha's Vineyard, Leibman provides a productive strategy for reading the text not simply as propaganda for missionary efforts but rather as a more nuanced history that incorporates elements of Wampanoag memorates, or oral accounts of personal encounters with the supernatural, alongside Puritan conversion narratives.
While Leibman acknowledges early on that this text was printed in London and intended for a largely British audience, the reasons why a text like this would be printed in Britain and how it was received are missing from the broader contextual materials. The transatlantic nature of this book and the ways in which it participates in the broader affective community described by Laura Stevens in The Poor Indians: British Missionaries, Native Americans, and Colonial Sensibility are not considered in Leibman's introduction, and this somewhat effaces the way in which this and other missionary writings participated in the emerging discourse of "benevolent" British colonialism.
A greater part of the introductory material is devoted to discussing the circumstances of the Wampanoag and their "alternative paths to modernity" (27). Leibman discusses the specific appeal of Calvinism to a people decimated by disease and facing drastic societal changes, including economic changes, shifting political structures, a more restrictive role for women and children, and the introduction of literacy. She notes that while the later popularity of sects such as the Baptists among the Wampanoag and other Native nations has been attributed to the similarities between Native spiritual practices and those of the enthusiastic revivalists, Calvinism's appeal rested in its profound difference from traditional beliefs. Through Calvinist values, such as the asceticism of daily life and subordination and obedience to patriarchal authority, many Wampanoag were able to make sense of their changing circumstances and enter into the colonial political structures imposed upon them. Of course, not all chose to become Puritans, or "Saints" as they were known by the white people, and Leibman describes the other major religious groups on the island, namely, Traditionalists, Baptists, and those without a religious group, whom she calls "Goats" in reference to the...

Oscar Pistorius Officially Charged with Murder
Prominent Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been charged with murder after his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead at his home in Pretoria.
The precise circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear.
Initial reports claimed that the suspect may have mistaken his girlfriend for a burglar and the shooting could have been a result of a Valentine's Day surprise gone wrong.
However, police spokeswoman Denise Beukes has declared that these reports did not come from police.
Police have also noted that there had been previous incidents at the address and described them as "allegations of a domestic nature," BBC says.
The victim, 30-year-old Reeva Steenkamp, was a well-known South African model. It is believed that she was shot four times.
The 26-year-old suspect was the first double amputee to run in the Olympics.

With a diverse background that ranges from her upbringing in Russia to her journey to New York City, Ksenia radiates in her latest music video for “Like It or Not.” With a minimalist percussion set and instrumentals, Ksenia and her lyrics are on full display in this showcase of talent complete with a potent message of female independence.
Looking at this song itself, it’s filled with catchy melodies and dynamic vocal ornaments that bring the song alive. The accompanying music video is equally impressive with its multiple settings and polished transitions. Both the lyrics and the video are filled with symbolism and metaphors to convey Ksenia’s message of empowerment. Witness it all for yourself by watching the music video below.

A day after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) declared Mehbooba Mufti as the chief ministerial candidate, BJP leader and Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Jitendra Singh on Friday said that there never a breakdown in the coalition with the PDP.
“There has never been a break down in the coalition between the BJP and the PDP. It is just a continuation of the process which started about a year back,” said Singh.
“There were no differences but when you are in coalition then you have to take care of each other’s priority and each other’s preferences and that is what we do in a healthy coalition. And I am sure, this is going to augur well for the state of Jammu and Kashmir,” he added.
Jammu and Kashmir Governor N.N. Vohra will also hold separate meetings in Jammu with PDP president Mehbooba and state BJP chief Sat Sharma to seek their formal viewpoints on government formation today.
The state was placed under Governor’s rule on January 8 after the demise of then chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on January 7.

China's top Web search provider, Baidu.com, posted results Wednesday that swept past expectations amid share gains in the world's second-largest Internet market, sending the stock up 19%.
Second-quarter revenue for the company nicknamed "China's Google" more than doubled and beat Wall Street forecasts, and Baidu said it expected no slowdown in its rate of growth in the third quarter.
"It's really simple: Baidu's top-line growth accelerated year over year," said Susquehanna Financial analyst C. Ming Zhao.
Baidu shares have returned to record levels hit in the middle of this month before worries about the U.S. economy dragged down stocks. It is up 127% in the last three months.
In extended trade, shares traded at $218, after closing at $183.23 on Nasdaq before the results were released.
Baidu posted a second-quarter profit of $18.6 million (141.9 million yuan), or 54 cents a diluted share.
Those figures compare to the year-ago quarter's net profit of $7.3 million (58.5 million yuan), or 21 cents a share.
Excluding one-time items and stock option expenses, it reported 57 cents per diluted share, beating analysts' average forecast for 50 cents a share, according to Reuters Estimates.
Revenue rose 109% to $52.7 million (401.3 million yuan), exceeding an average forecast of $48.4 million, according to Reuters Estimates.
For the third quarter, Baidu said it expected no slowdown in its rate of growth, projecting revenue in a range from $64.6 million to $66.5 million (492 million to 506 million yuan), which translates into growth of 106% to 111%.
The number of Baidu's active online marketing customers during the second quarter grew to around 128,000, an increase of 14.3% from the first quarter and 42% from a year ago.
Baidu dominated the search market in China in the second quarter with a 58.1% share, followed by Google with 22.8% and Yahoo China with 11.6%, research firm Analysys International reported.
With over 162 million Web users, China is the world's second-largest Internet market after the United States.
Baidu has been gobbling up market share mainly from smaller operators and Yahoo. It also overtook major portal SINA early this year as the largest Web advertising supplier in China, according to a recent report by broker research firm CLSA.
Earlier this year, Baidu introduced a Japanese-language version of its Web search service in Japan, its first bid to expand outside of China.


I have fifteen years' experience teaching all brass instruments. I will make sure you are playing music you enjoy while developing strong fundamentals with your embouchure and tone. Whether just getting started or preparing for that big audition, I can help you meet your goals!
I am a private music instructor with over 20 years’ performing and teaching experience. There is so much unique joy in playing a brass instrument, and it is my goal to help my students feel that joy! I tailor each lesson to each student's individual abilities and learning methods. For students in school bands, I try to provide lessons that complement what they learn in band class, focusing on areas of performance that may not receive attention in a group setting. For all my students, regardless of level or instrument, I try to find music for them to play that they are interested in learning while still covering everything they need to get a solid foundation on their instrument. I encourage and assist my students in finding opportunities to perform in solo performances and with other groups. I also pride myself in creating an environment w
here the students are comfortable asking questions to help improve their playing.
Over my teaching career, I have worked with over 200 individual students. Many of my students are not only successful in their bands but in regional honor bands and Solo and Ensemble competitions as well. While I now only teach part time, I have years of full-time teaching experience as well. When I was full-time, I worked directly with several Nashville-area schools, including the nationally-acclaimed Oliver Middle School band. When country musician Adam Sanders sought school musicians to accompany him at CMA Fest in 2018, 75% of the brass section was enrolled in my private lesson studio! Last year, competing against hundreds of students from all over the region, my students took second-chair trumpet and trombone at MTSBOA Mid-State.
Contact me for lessons today to enhance your playing!
I am a brass specialist. My main instrument is trombone, but I have been effectively working with brass players of all types for years. I will be happy to help you achieve your goals and also offer small group ensembles with other instrumentalists in addition to private lessons!
I am a trombonist and teacher, with many years of experience teaching Hebrew as well as music.
As a music teacher I have worked with children starting from private lessons to young children beginning to learn, up to master classes in universities worldwide. I love teaching, and I feel confident teaching trombone and trumpet up to advanced level. For piano, I would prefer to stay with beginners and young ones only :) - but I promise you they will have a wonderful experience (and yes, I do have 8 years of piano studies under my belt).
As a Hebrew teacher, I teach both Hebrew reading and pronunciation and modern conversational Hebrew. My professional experience includes teaching at Golda Och Academy in West Orange, B'nai Abraham in Livingston, Central Synagogue in Manhattan and more, as well as many private lessons. In
the schools I provided classroom instruction, private and group tutoring and adult education as well as private instruction for the faculty.
My approach to lessons are geared towards student interests and are executed in a fun and instructional way.
My name is John Lincourt and I spend most of my professional life playing trombone and leading an array of ensembles, ranging from solo performances to large scale wind ensembles and orchestras. I've been studying music and performing for 19 years. I received my Master's Degree in Instrumental Conducting from Mercer University and my Bachelor's in Trombone Performance from Catawba College. I am currently trombonist for Princess Cruises and have been offered contracts to play on ships that sail to Central and South America, Japan, British Columbia, Canada, Hawaii, Southeast Asia, and Alaska. I also compete in conducting workshops, one of which I was a winner.
I am the type of teacher that prefers to expand the students creativity by approaching music from a variety of perspectives. My goal is to use music as a way of opening
new doors and possibilities for my students, whether that be preparing for success at auditions or developing skills applicable in many facets of life.
I am a current band director focused on your student's mastery and success on the tuba. We will work on tone, range, and develop technique through a tailored lesson that will fit you or your student. I am also happy to supplement your child's band instruction and work on area/region honor band auditions with your child.
Hi, I am Matt. I am a band director in the Fort Smith, AR area. I am in my 7th year teaching band and love every minute of it. I have recently decided to return to teaching private lessons, and would love to help you with your auditions, festival music, AP music theory exams, or just learn some skills on becoming a better musician. Outside of the audition music, we continually work tone production, range, and confidence on any wind instrument. In college I had a small guitar studio as well. Some of those guitar students have gone on to study at the collegiate level and gig around town today! I have taught beginning band for 4 years now on all wind instruments including percussion. I have a firm grasp to provide solid fundamentals to start your musical journey and get you off to a great start. Feel free to ask me any questions about lesson
June 2012 - June 2015 I was the head band director of Waldron High School in Waldron, AR. We won several awards through our marching and concert band program. I also ran after school lessons in which many students made our region honor band.
June 2015 - Present I am currently the head director at Trinity Junior High in Fort Smith. I run a 7-9 band program that includes both marching and concert band seasons. Our student involvement is quite high as our band program serves about 50% of our total student population (about 90 kids served daily on all wind instruments). My band here has received many superior ratings, and many students make our region honor group, and go on to excel in high school band programs in our area.
Personalized and methodical instruction for musical progress on their instrument.
My name is Chris, and I have been playing trumpet for over twenty years. I grew up in the TX public schools and was a two time TMEA All-State Musician. I hold three degrees in music from accredited universities: DMA at UGA, MM at UT-Austin, BM at NDSU. I enjoy teaching and helping others, and have a patient, kind approach to working with people. Music is a wonderful gift that we can all share in, and I am happy to pass on what I have gained from my musical experiences.
The concept is simple: empowerment to generate mastery on your instrument. I like to work with you at your level, from beginner and up. My goal is to not only help you understand the mechanics of the instrument, but to empower you to create as limitlessly as possible on it. I will be working with you on things such as rhythm, ear training, embouchre development, breath control, sight reading, understanding musical notation and terminology and beyond through a few of my own and others' techniques.
I have found the best approach to doing this is by selecting music that you like to listen to and play, as it is much more fun to practice something that you enjoy rather than doing busywork to build skill.
Hi, I'm Tyler! Born and raised in Roswell, New Mexico, I am the son of a band director. That being said, I have literally been involved in music since I was an infant! I played trombone, bass trombone, and bass guitar all the way through high school, and went to New Mexico State University where I received my Bachelor's Degree in Music, and then moved to Los Angeles, California, where I received my Master's Degree at California Institute of the Arts, where I also learned to play the other brass instruments, as well as composition and arranging.
Throughout my career, I've been able to do some great things with music. I have been able to travel Europe and work with one of the world's finest brass instrument manufacturers, Michael Rath, I have toured Colombia with my University's Wind Ensemble, I've recorded at Capitol Records in Hollywo
od, and have written and premiered numerous works for orchestra and rock ensemble, trombone choirs, and even a duet for quarter tone trumpets!
I have an affinity for modern and avant garde music, but am well-versed in all genres and musical styles! I also like to play in and record rock and roll bands, I've amassed a quite a few years of recording experience as well. From gypsy bands to thrash metal groups, I've recorded a wide array of music.
I also taught in the classroom from grades k-12 for a few years before following my true passion of teaching privately. I love to reach you at your own level and work to grow with you from there.
My goal is simple: I simply want you to come to love music as much as I do, if not more! I strive to give you the tools to become a successful musician in your own right, and I work to keep my lessons fun and engaging.
Tyler arrived early, spent lots of time with my unruly daughter, and kept her on track! He's a good combination of fun/playful but also has a natural authority so that my daughter actually listens to his instruction. Well done and thank you Tyler!
January 9, 2019
Great first lesson - looking forward to the next one.
July 22, 2018
I feel like I learned a lot in an hour and he really helped me find an anchor point that I can go back to if I am stuck on a note. I realized that he went over every proven method that I learned throughout my experiences from elementary school to highschool and then added on to them by explaining how these methods help. He even showed me methods usually taught to college musicians.
The reason I always believed in private lessons is because no matter how few or how many you take, the learning process gets expedited immensely.
I definitely would recommend this teacher for learning a brass instrument.
I am an avid brass performer and teacher in the greater Baltimore area, having played for over a decade. In lessons, we will work out of some of the most trusted method books, discuss fundamental playing techniques in an accessible and easy-to-understand way, and search for unique solutions to individual problems as I tailor my teaching method to your learning style. All ages are welcome.
Zachary Al-Radiedeh is an avid performer and educator currently residing in the Greater Atlanta area. His eclectic career in music began when he chose the euphonium in fifth grade, mistakenly thinking it was a French horn. Since then, Zachary has become an active performer on many other instruments, including trombone, tuba, voice, and bass, and his performance idioms have ranged from classical to punk to folk fusion. His diverse career has led him to performances in a wide range of noteworthy venues, including Strathmore Music Center, the 9:30 Club, and Mile High Stadium. Zachary holds a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Towson University. He is currently pursuing a Master's of Music in Music Performance and Pedagogy at the University of Georgia, where he studies with acclaimed teacher David Zerkel. Notably, Zachary has st
udied euphonium with Matthew Shipes Seth Horner and James Hicks, and trombone with Natalie Mannix. He has performed under the baton of several esteemed conductors and composers, including Jason Fettig, Johan de Meij, and Timothy Holtan.
Outside of concert-style performance, Zachary has built a reputation as a sought-after educator and consultant in the world of marching music. As a marching member himself, he joined the Troopers Drum & Bugle Corps for two national tours in 2015 and 2016, was a member of the Cadets2 Drum & Bugle Corps in 2014, and was a featured soloist with the Towson University Marching Band in 2015. Zachary has taken these experiences in top level ensembles and applied them as an active and engaging instructor for marching ensembles in the Baltimore area and beyond, including the Towson University Marching Band, Pioneer Drum & Bugle Corps, and the Urbana High School Marching Band.
Zachary's professional affiliations include membership in Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Tau Beta Sigma, the Maryland Music Educator's Association, and the National Association for Music Education. In 2018, Zachary was a recipient of two prestigious honors at Towson University: winner of the University Concerto Competition and Second Prize in the Peggy Gordon Friedmann Music Competition. He currently performs on Willson 2950TA euphonium, a Conn 24H trombone, and a Besson 994-2 tuba.
Zachary has been a fantastic instructor for my son who is new to the trumpet and has never taken lessons before. Zachary is a very encouraging teacher, and he communicates very well regarding scheduling. He has also kept lessons fresh and interesting for my fifth grader, sometimes bringing different instruments and teaching tools that keep my son engaged. Highly recommended!
June 18, 2018
Zac taught me how to properly perform an aria in front of a whole lot of important people that I was stressed about. He gave me some excellent pointers on how to work with a pianist. His knowledge of music and his experience in performance has certainly shaped the way I perceive my own performances ever since that lesson.

Magnus norell the hebrew university deportation essays Bisbee Deportation The Bisbee deportation event was not only a pivotal point in 1917 on Arizona’s labor history but it also had a great contribution on goshiwon near korea university activities throughout the country. The Bisbee event was an event that led to labor movement by copper miners in Bisbee, Arizona, even though it all started as a dispute between the miners and the miner companies over high risk jobs and poorly paid wages it turned out into a strike. It all started during World War I when the price of copper reached unprecedented heights and the companies reaped enormous profits, Bisbee was booming with five thousand miner workers. The mining companies controlled Bisbee and depended on the miner workers but the problem was that they had Mexicans and European immigrants working the mines with magnus norell the hebrew university pay even though it was better paid than what they could earn in any outside job in Bisbee. So The Industrial Workers of The World (I.W.W.) took action and presented some demands magnus norell the hebrew university improvements in safety, working conditions and discrimination. The copper companies refused all the I.W.W. demands, so the workers went on strike having roughly half of the Bisbee work force on strike. As tensions heighten, two so called “vigilant groups” Workman’s loyalty league and the Citizens Protective League took action and about 2000 deputies got together wearing white armbands to distinguish themselves from the strikers. By 6:30 in the morning, vigilant groups rounded up and men were roused from their beds, houses and from the streets, they rounded about 1000 men and gave them the opportunity The Life and Times of Yuan Shin-kia quit Lincoln Industries marketing analysis strike and would be released.

During and after national tragedies like the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., journalists in newsrooms across the country search for new ways to cover national issues at a local level. Prompted by a challenge from the Dallas mayor, NPR Member Station KERA found a new area of the debate untouched by the majority of the media in their area.

MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
And I'm Melissa Block. A stunning revelation today from a member of Congress. It came from Republican Doug Lamborn, of Colorado, during an exchange on Capitol Hill with Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Lamborn cited a Defense Intelligence Agency report on North Korea's military capability, one that had not yet been released. Here's what Rep. Lamborn said.
Currency traders were stunned last week by aggressive action from Japan's central bank. The Bank of Japan embarked on a bond-buying program that, by one measure, is twice the size of the extraordinary moves by Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve in the United States. The BOJ's move is an effort to shock the Japanese economy out of more than a decade of sluggish growth and deflation.
"A man of genius makes no mistakes," James Joyce wrote in Ulysses. "His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery." Looks like Ireland's Central Bank has taken that message to heart.
The bank announced Wednesday the launch of a limited-edition coin to honor the Irish writer. The coin features a portrait of Joyce and a quotation from Ulysses, arguably his most famous novel. Trouble is Joyce was misquoted.


Unemployment Report: Spin, Baby, Spin
Rather than listen to or read the MSM version of the unemployment report, I prefer to go right to the source. This is the link (.pdf) to the data. Here are my observations:
The employable population of the country went up by 200,000 over last month, but for some stange reason the labor force declined by 181,000. The civilian labor force as a percentage of the population has now declined to 64.6%. This is the lowest in decades.
The number of employed persons declined by 159,000 over last month and has fallen 3 months in a row. I thought Obama said we were adding jobs.
The number of employed people is 138,960,000. The number of employed people in January 2009 when the Savior took office was 139,877,000. If I’m correct, there are 917,000 less employed people after spending $800 billion.
Amazingly, the unemployment rate is only 9.5% versus 9.4% one year ago. How can this be? It appears that 2,811,000 Americans who are capable of working have decided to leave the workforce in the last year. They must be so happy with their financial situation, they decided to kick back and enjoy themselves.
Since the end of 2006, there are 7.6 million more Americans unemployed and another 6.9 million people who have supposedly “left the workforce”. Over this same time frame, 9.1 million people came into the potential workforce.
The US Government manipulates these statistics so well, that the ignorant masses don’t realize how bad it really is. Don’t trust anything coming out of the MSM mouthpieces or the White House Obamanistas. Can anyone hear the sound of Stimulus II?

You can sip on tiki cocktails year round, but they’re that much better on the beach, poolside, or even just lounging on the couch in front of the AC on a hot summer day. The tiki genre is a vast and eclectic sea of cocktail recipes, but most have the following characteristics in common: the use of rum, tropical fruits, citrus juices, and often exotic spices in the form of syrups, liqueurs, or bitters. You can’t go wrong with a classic Mai Tai, but if you’re looking for something new and different, give one of these a try the next time you’re in the mood for something tropical.

931 F.2d 132 (1st Cir. 1991), 90-2165, Andrews v. C.I.R.
|Citation:||931 F.2d 132|
|Party Name:||Edward W. and Leona J. ANDREWS, Petitioners, Appellants, v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent, Appellee.|
|Case Date:||April 24, 1991|
|Court:||United States Courts of Appeals, Court of Appeals for the First Circuit|
Submitted March 25, 1991.
Raymond A. Snow and Paul J. Molloy, on brief, Somerville, Mass., for petitioners, appellants.
Shirley D. Peterson, Asst. Atty. Gen., Gary R. Allen, Richard Farber and Christine A. Grant, Tax Div., Dept. of Justice, on brief, for respondent, appellee.
Before CAMPBELL, SELYA and CYR, Circuit Judges.
LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Circuit Judge.
Edward W. Andrews and his wife, Leona J. Andrews, 1 brought this action in the Tax Court for a redetermination of an income tax deficiency that the Commissioner had assessed for the tax year 1984. At issue is Andrews' deduction of travel expenses, including meals and costs associated with maintaining a second home at Lighthouse Point, Florida, as "traveling expenses ... while away from home in the pursuit of a trade or business." 2 Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. Sec. 162(a)(2). 3 Personal
living expenses are generally not deductible. 26 U.S.C. Sec. 262. The Tax Court sustained the Commissioner's disallowance of the deduction on the grounds that Andrews was not "away from home" when these expenses were incurred. Andrews v. Commissioner, 60 T.C.M. (CCH) 277, T.C. Memo 1990-391. Andrews appeals to this court pursuant to 26 U.S.C. Sec. 7482.
We summarize the Tax Court's findings only to the extent helpful in understanding this decision. Andrews was president and chief executive officer of Andrews Gunite Co., Inc. ("Andrews Gunite"), which is engaged in the swimming pool construction business in New England, a seasonal business. His salary in 1984 was $108,000. Beginning in 1964, during the off-season, Andrews, establishing a sole proprietorship known as Andrews Farms, began to race and breed horses in New England, and in 1972 moved his horse business to Pompano, Florida. Andrews' horse business proliferated and prospered.
In 1974, Andrews Gunite diversified by establishing a Florida-based division, known as Pilgrim Farms, to acquire horses to breed with two of Andrews Farms' most successful horses and to develop a racing stable similar to Andrews Farms. By 1975, Andrews Farms had 130 horses, and by 1984 Pilgrim Farms had twenty to thirty horses. Andrews was responsible, in 1984, for managing and training Pilgrim Farms horses and Andrews Farms horses, though he was compensated for his services to Pilgrim Farms only by payment of his airfare to Florida. While in Florida during racing season, Andrews worked at the racetrack from seven in the morning until noon, and he returned to the track to solicit sales of his horses and watch the races on four nights per week.
Also, in 1983, Andrews' son, who had worked for Andrews Gunite, sought to establish a pool construction business in Florida. Andrews, along with his brother and son, formed a corporation, originally known as East Coast Pools by Andrews, Inc. and renamed Pools by Andrews, Inc., to purchase the assets of a troubled pool business in Florida. Andrews owned one-third of Pools by Andrews, Inc. in 1984. Andrews assisted his son in the Florida pool business, but drew no salary for his services. By the time of trial, this pool business was one of the biggest, if not the biggest builder of pools in Florida, with offices in West Palm Beach and Orlando and plans for a third office in Tampa.
Andrews resided in Lynnfield, Massachusetts with his wife prior to and during 1984. During this period, the expansion of the horse business required Andrews to make an increasing number of trips to Florida. In order to reduce travel costs and facilitate lodging arrangements, Andrews purchased a condominium in Pompano Beach, Florida in 1976, which he used as a residence when in Florida during the racing season. The neighborhood around the condominium became unsafe, and Andrews decided to move, purchasing a single family home with a swimming pool in Lighthouse Point, Florida in 1983. The home was closer than the condominium to the Pompano Beach Raceway, where Andrews maintained, trained, and raced many of the Andrews Farms and Pilgrim Farms horses. Andrews used the Florida house as his personal residence during the racing season.
The Tax Court concluded that in 1984 Andrews worked in Florida primarily in his horse business for six months, from January through April and during November and December, and that Andrews worked primarily in his pool construction business in Massachusetts for six months, from May to October. On his 1984 amended return, Andrews claimed one hundred percent business usage on his Florida house, and claimed depreciation deductions on the furniture
and house in connection with his horse racing business. He also characterized tax, mortgage interest, 4 utilities, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses as "lodging expenses," which he deducted in connection with the Florida pools and horse racing businesses, along with expenses for meals while he was in Florida. 5
The Tax Court correctly stated: "The purpose of the section 162(a)(2) deduction is to mitigate the burden upon a taxpayer who, because of the exigencies of his trade or business, must maintain two places of abode and thereby incur additional living expenses." See Hantzis v. Commissioner, 638 F.2d 248, 256 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 452 U.S. 962, 101 S.Ct. 3112, 69 L.Ed.2d 973 (1981); Dilley v. Commissioner, 58 T.C. 276 (1972); Kroll v. Commissioner, 49 T.C. 557, 562 (1962). The Tax Court then stated its general rule that "a taxpayer's home for purposes of section 162(a) is the area or vicinity of his principal place of business." Responding thereafter to the Commissioner's contention that during the horse racing season Florida was Andrews' "tax home," rendering Andrews' Florida meals and lodging expenses personal and nondeductible living expenses under sections 262 and...

10. How they view a Party
Whereas an American office party will usually feature soda and a pizza, it’s not uncommon for Russians to drink wine, vodka and whiskey at a company party. It’s also common for people to get extremely plastered and bear their emotions to the entire world at house parties. See more here.
9. How they view each other
Russians tend to accept each other and believe in fate, Americans on the other hand believe through hard work and a bit of luck they can accomplish anything no matter who’s in the way.
8. How they view Relationships
Nearly three-quarters of Russians in 2013 didn’t think homosexuality should be accepted by society, compared with 33 percent of the US and anywhere between 11 and 22 percent among many of Russia’s developed European peers. See more here.
7. How they view Money
In surveys of Russian and American students, the Americans ranked these values in importance: Money, career, family friends. Russians ranked the same values this way: Family, friends, career, money. See more here.
6. How they view Leadership
The difference between Russia and America is simple: Russia’s leader is Russian who is against radical Islam, On the other hand America’s leader is a muslim who aids, trains, and funds Islāmic terrorism behind America’s back.
5. How Women view Men
Naturally, women are different everywhere, and every woman has her own inimitable personality. However, it has been long ago noted that Russian women are more open than the others. Communication with American women can resembles an arm wrestling match: They see men as competition and don’t engender them as men. Quite to the opposite , Russian women are not afraid of a man’s masculinity and believe femininity is a part of being a woman.
4. How they view Drinking
What was once a huge problem in Russia has begun to decline, don’t get me wrong Russians still love their vodka and I will still hear them outside our window singing late into the night. So what has changed? The younger generation doesn’t have the social economic problems the older generation faced. Their reasons for drinking are much different then in the past. The biggest problem remains in the older male generation that can’t seem to shake the shackles of the past. See more here.
However in America the problem is with the irresponsible younger generation not the older. Seems to be an opposite problem to the East. Young adults in the States have a problem with binge drinking which leads to alcohol poisoning. Recent data indicates that 46% of young adults (12.4 million) engaged in excessive drinking in the last year. Clearly in the States the older generation is the wiser. See more here.
3. How they view Education.
This is a very interesting topic that has complex answers. What I did find was a very interesting article describing the differences. The writer is a Russian student studying in America, she shares her experiences with both in a well balanced fashion.
Being a student in the U.S. is different in a lot of ways than what I experienced back in Russia. Classes are taught differently, schools are run differently, and grades are doled out differently – some for the good and some for the bad. Here are the top 10 things I’ve had to adjust to as a student in America. Would they be as different for you? See more here.
2. How they view Celebrities
It’s a very interesting fact that in Russia, musicians and composers are considered high society and are the stars where as film and TV actors are not as iconic. From my own personal experience in being able to speak to a once Russian actor, they don’t make much money and society doesn’t think much of them.
On the other side of this coin in America, Film and TV actors are considered stars and are more a part of high society and musicians and composers are not so much. Again knowing from first hand and working with actors and actress in Los Angeles just how much people fawn over them.
It’s fascinating that the two different cultures look so differently at TV & Movies celebrities and Musicians and composers. Russian culture identifies itself much more to the musical arts and the American culture identifies with the movie industry. I think something could be read into this but I will leave it to the reader to discover it. See more here.
1. How the Women Look
Most American women (not all) in general view being out in public as one big slumber party. This seems to be the reality of today’s American fashion scene. It’s typical in America to see women dressed in pajamas and sweatpants at the bank, the post office, the store and even at work. A majority will be found in Flip-flops and Uggs, and nothing else. At best, they will dress themselves in jeans and a hooded sweatshirt, which is their version of dressing for the occasion. Finding a woman in a dress and she’s thought of as a …………see more here.
However in Russia women are beautiful (at least this is what they hear all the time) they are aware of their beauty, they like to make themselves beautiful and they enjoy being beautiful. “Beauty will save the world” – is one of the most favorite Russian quotes apparently by F.Dostoevski. See more here.
Update: Just found a fun post on the difference between Russia and America here, check it out.

Apply For College Can Seem Overwhelming
Teenagers get overwhelmed with anxiety quite easily when it comes to the college application process. They get disorganized and let the paperwork for applications pile up until it becomes unmanageable. Soon they will stop working on the applications altogether.
Students benefit greatly from a bit of gentle questioning from teachers. Be proactive about helping your high school senior students stay on track with their college applications. There are ways to help motivate them to get applications in at least on time, if not early.
Getting Them Started
Post Application Due Dates for In-State Colleges
Go online and get information about the due dates for college applications at all colleges in the state. The guidance department most likely can help you with this information. Make a large poster listing the name of the college and the application due date. Refer to the dates as they start to get closer in time.Give students gentle reminders of the upcoming due dates for applications on a regular basis.
Make a Board for College Acceptance Letters
Create a bulletin board where you will post any copies of college acceptance letters that students would like to have posted. Create this board in the early fall and tell students what it is for. Let them know that once they have received a college acceptance letter you will be delighted to post it on the bulletin board in the classroom. This will motivate students to get their applications in and start the process of waiting for an acceptance letter.
Be Available to Help Students
Be in the library to help students on certain days. Let them know ahead of time that you will be in the library during lunch time or after school. Tell students that if they feel overwhelmed they can drop by and talk to you and that you will help them sort through the paperwork. For students who are the first in their family to go to college, sometimes the application process is very stressful; they don’t have anyone at home who feels comfortable helping them with the applications.
Maintain Contact with the Guidance Department
Talk to the guidance department about students who seem particularly overwhelmed or who are stalled in the application process. Ask guidance to set up meetings with students who need their assistance deciding where to apply to college or with the financial aid forms.
Provide Books and Articles about the College Application Process
Have a bookcase in the classroom devoted to materials about the college application process. Keep this share library stocked with books you find at book sales or the flea market. It is very helpful to students to read about tips to apply to colleges.You may also put piles of articles you found on this topic in the bookcase. Students will browse the library frequently looking for helpful information about the college application process.
Talk to Parents
Check in with parents of the students who are overwhelmed and procrastinating about college applications. Discuss the student’s progress with them and let them know they may contact you at any time to let you know if the student needs some help.
