U.S. House of Representatives v. Mnuchin
United States District Court, District of Columbia
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Plaintiff,
STEVEN T. MNUCHIN, in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of the Treasury et al., Defendants.
TREVOR N. McFADDEN, U.S.D.J.
Few ideas are more central to the American political tradition than the doctrine of separation of powers. Our Founders emerged from the Revolution determined to establish a government incapable of repeating the tyranny from which the Thirteen Colonies escaped. They did so by splitting power across three branches of the federal government and by providing each the tools required to preserve control over its functions. The "great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department, " James Madison explained, "consists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others." The Federalist No. 51.
This is a case about whether one chamber of Congress has the "constitutional means" to conscript the Judiciary in a political turf war with the President over the implementation of legislation. The U.S. House of Representatives seeks to enjoin the Secretaries and Departments of the Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, and the Interior (collectively, the "Administration") from spending certain funds to build a wall along our southern border. The House argues that this expenditure would violate the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution and usurp Congress's authority. This harm, the House suggests, constitutes an "institutional injury" supporting Article III standing.
The Administration disagrees. The Judiciary cannot reach the merits of this dispute, it contends, because the Constitution grants the House no standing to litigate these claims. The Administration is correct. The "complete independence" of the Judiciary is "peculiarly essential" under our Constitutional structure, and this independence requires that the courts "take no active resolution whatever" in political fights between the other branches. See The Federalist No. 78 (Alexander Hamilton). And while the Constitution bestows upon Members of the House many powers, it does not grant them standing to hale the Executive Branch into court claiming a dilution of Congress's legislative authority. The Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to hear the House's claims and will deny its motion.
The House and the President have been engaged in a protracted public fight over funding for the construction of a barrier along the border with Mexico. Following the longest partial shutdown of the Federal Government in history, Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2019 (the "CAA"), which provided $1.375 billion for new border fencing in the Rio Grande Valley. See Pub. L. No. 116-6 (2019). The President had sought much more. See Letter from Acting Dir., Office of Mgmt. & Budget to Senate Comm. On Appropriations (Jan. 6, 2019) (requesting "$5.7 billion for construction of a steel barrier for the Southwest border").[1]
On the same day he signed the CAA into law, President Donald Trump declared that "a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States." Proclamation No. 9844, 84 Fed. Reg. 4949 (Feb. 15, 2019) ("National Emergency Declaration"). The President determined that the "current situation at the southern border presents a border security and humanitarian crisis that threatens core national security interests." Id. He noted that the "southern border is a major entry point for criminals, gang members, and illicit narcotics" and that the problem of "large-scale unlawful migration" has "worsened in certain respects in recent years." Id. "Because of the gravity of the current emergency situation, " he added, "it is necessary for the Armed Forces to provide additional support to address the crisis." Id.
Congress passed a joint resolution to void the President's National Emergency Declaration. See 165 Cong. Rec. S1882 (Mar. 14, 2019). Explaining the vote, Speaker Nancy Pelosi remarked that "[w]e would be delinquent in our duties as Members of Congress if we did not overturn what the President is proposing. He is asking each and every one of us to turn our backs on the oath of office that we took to the Constitution of the United States." See Speaker Pelosi's Floor Speech on Privileged Resolution, House of Representatives (Feb. 27, 2019).
The President vetoed the resolution. See Veto Message to the House of Representatives for H.J. Res. 46, White House (March 15, 2019). Some Members of the House tried unsuccessfully to override this veto. See 165 Cong. Rec. H2815 (Mar. 26, 2019). For the override to be operative, the Senate would have also had to vote to support it by a super-majority. It did not attempt to do so. So the "veto of the President was sustained and the joint resolution was rejected." Id. The House then filed this suit.
Upon a declaration of a national emergency "that requires the use of armed forces, " the Secretary of Defense "may authorize the Secretaries of the military departments to undertake military construction projects, not otherwise authorized by law that are necessary to support such use of the armed forces." 10 U.S.C. § 2808(a). The White House explained that Section 2808 would be one of three sources of funding the Administration would use, on top of the $1.375 billion Congress appropriated through the CAA, to build the border wall. See President Donald J. Trump's Border Security Victory, White House (Feb. 15, 2019), ECF No. 36-7. It plans to use sequentially: (1) $601 million from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund; (2) up to $2.5 billion in funds transferred for "Support for Counterdrug Activities" under 10 U.S.C. § 284; and (3) up to $3.6 billion reallocated from Department of Defense military construction projects under Section 2808. Id.
The House does not challenge the President's declaration of an emergency under the National Emergencies Act. See Compl., ECF No. 1, at 39-43; Hr'g Tr. 81:23-25.[2] Nor does it contest the use of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund to build the wall. See Pl.'s Mot. for Prelim. Inj. ("Pl.'s Mot."), ECF No. 17, at 21. Instead, it argues that 10 U.S.C. §§ 284 and 2808 do not authorize the use of funds for building a border wall and that the Administration's planned spending therefore violates the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act (the "APA"). Compl. 39-42.
The Administration rejects the House's interpretation of the statutes. See Defs.' Opp. to Mot. for Prelim. Inj. ("Defs.' Opp."), ECF No. 36, at 57-64. But primarily, it contends that the House lacks standing to raise its arguments here. Id. at 28. There are "no Appropriations Clause principles at issue in this case, " the Administration claims, precisely because the parties are contesting the meaning of bills that Congress has validly passed using its Appropriations power. Id. at 37. And quarrels over how to implement a law do not support legislative standing, as the "Constitution does not contemplate an active role for Congress in the supervision of officers charged with the execution of the laws it enacts." Id. at 36 (quoting Bowsher v. Synar, 478 U.S. 714, 722 (1986)).
The parties submitted thorough briefing on these issues, and the House's application for a preliminary injunction is now ripe. The Court also heard oral arguments from both sides and has reviewed the memoranda submitted by amici curiae.
Before it may consider the merits of the House's motion, the Court must first confirm its jurisdiction over this case. Article III of the Constitution limits the jurisdiction of federal courts to "actual cases or controversies." Clapper v. Amnesty Int'l USA, 568 U.S. 398, 408 (2013). One element of the "case-or-controversy requirement" is that plaintiffs "must establish that they have standing to sue." Id.
Article III's standing requirements are "built on separation-of-powers principles" and serve "to prevent the judicial process from being used to usurp the powers of the political branches." Id. Thus, "when reaching the merits of the dispute would force [it] to decide whether an action taken by one of the other two branches of the Federal Government was unconstitutional, " the Court's standing inquiry must be "especially rigorous." Id. (quoting Raines v. Byrd, 521 U.S. 811, 819-20 (1997)). The power of federal courts to hear cases "is not an unconditioned authority to determine the constitutionality of legislative or executive acts." Valley Forge Christian Coll. v. Am. Utd. for Sep. of Church and State, Inc., 454 U.S. 464, 471 (1982).
As the plaintiff, the House "bear[s] the burden of establishing standing." Commonwealth v. U.S. Dep't of Educ., 340 F.Supp.3d 7, 12 (D.D.C. 2018). The Court "presumes that it lacks jurisdiction unless the contrary appears affirmatively from the record." Id. (cleaned up). To establish standing, the House must allege an injury that is "concrete, particularized, and actual or imminent; fairly traceable to the challenged action; and redressable by a favorable ruling." Clapper, 568 U.S. at 409. For an injury to be legally cognizable, the dispute must be "traditionally thought to be capable of resolution through the judicial process." Raines, 521 U.S. at 819.
The Administration concedes, and the Court agrees, that only the first prong of the standing analysis-injury that is concrete and particularized-is at issue here. See Defs.' Opp. at 28-43. Applying the "especially rigorous" analysis required, the Court finds that the House has failed to allege such an injury. So the Court must deny the House's motion.
Two Supreme Court decisions-Raines and Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, 135 S.Ct. 2652 (2015)-guide the Court's inquiry. Neither directly addresses whether one House of Congress has standing to allege an institutional injury to the Appropriations power. Perhaps unsurprisingly, while the House urges the Court to conclude that this case is more like one (Arizona State Legislature), the Administration believes this case is more like the other (Raines).
In Raines, six federal legislators sued to contest the constitutionality of the Line Item Veto Act. See 521 U.S. at 813-14. The plaintiffs had voted against it. Id. at 814. They sued the Executive Branch, arguing that the Act "unconstitutionally expands the President's power, " "divests the [legislators] of their constitutional role in the repeal of legislation, " and "alters the constitutional balance of powers." Id. at 816. They claimed, in other words, that "the Act causes a type of institutional injury (the diminution of legislative power), which necessarily damages all Members of Congress and both Houses of Congress equally." Id. at 821.
The Supreme Court found that the legislators lacked standing. Beginning its analysis, it emphasized the "time-honored concern about keeping the Judiciary's power within its proper constitutional sphere." Id. at 820. That concern required it to "carefully inquire" about whether the legislators' "claimed injury is personal, particularized, concrete, and otherwise judicially cognizable." Id. The Court concluded that it was not. Id. at 830.
The legislators could not allege that "the Act will nullify their votes, " the Court explained, because "[i]n the future, a majority of Senators and Congressmen can pass or reject appropriations bills; the Act has no effect on this process." Id. at 824. Their votes on the Act itself "were given full effect." Id. "They simply lost that vote." Id. It therefore held that "these individual members of Congress do not have a sufficient 'personal stake' in this dispute and have not alleged a sufficiently concrete injury to have established Article III standing." Id. at 830.
By contrast, in Arizona State Legislature, the Supreme Court held that a state legislature had standing to challenge the constitutionality of a proposition adopted by Arizona's voters by referendum. See 135 S.Ct. at 2659. Proposition 106 amended the Arizona Constitution to remove redistricting authority from the legislature and vest it in an independent commission. Id. at 2658. The legislature alleged that the Proposition violated its authority under the Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which provides that the "Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof." U.S. Const. art. I, § 4, cl. 1.
         The Court characterized the Arizona Legislature as "an institutional plaintiff asserting an institutional injury, " that "commenced this action after authorizing votes in both of its chambers." Ariz. State Leg., 135 S.Ct. at 2664. It noted that Arizona's constitution prohibits the legislature from "adopt[ing] any measure that supersedes a [voter-initiated proposition]" unless the measure "furthers the purposes of the initiative." Id. This limitation, when combined with Proposition 106, would "completely nullify" any vote by the state's ...

Ohio judge upholds right to death chamber lawyer
A federal judge on Friday refused to dismiss a claim by Ohio death row inmates that they have a constitutional right to last-minute consultations with their attorney.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A federal judge on Friday refused to dismiss a claim by Ohio death row inmates that they have a constitutional right to last-minute consultations with their attorney.
At issue is whether lawyers in Ohio can react quickly when they perceive something going wrong with an execution, as with a 2009 attempt in which an inmate was pricked repeatedly with IV needles before the execution was finally called off after two hours.
Lawyers for the Ohio prison system had argued that death row inmates already have ample access to lawyers and that last-minute consultations could open the door to constitutional challenges of the death penalty.
But U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost said the conditions of an inmate's execution are different than the sentence that put them there.
"Pre-execution day inmate-counsel communication and a cell-front visit that can last only until 8:45 a.m. on the day of the execution obviously does not enable an inmate and counsel to address issues occurring from that point," Frost said.
Ohio executions take place at around 10 a.m.
Frost rejected arguments that inmates should be able to have their lawyers witness the executions in addition to the three witnesses allowed by Ohio prison rules.
He said it was reasonable for the state to set limits on witnesses and that inmates could use one of those seats for their attorney.
Frost also rejected lawyers' arguments that they should have access to cell phones in the death house in case something goes wrong. He said lawyers already have access to a nearby phone and that that distance didn't prevent attorneys from contacting him during the 2009 case.
Frost's decision on the last-minute access still leaves open the practical problem of how to alert the courts immediately if there is a problem, defense attorney Michael Benza said Friday.
A spokeswoman for Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said the state's legal motions in the case speak for themselves.
In September 2009, in an unprecedented move, the state stopped the attempted execution of Romell Broom after about two hours when executioners failed to find a suitable vein. Broom has sued, arguing that a second attempt to put him to death would be unconstitutionally cruel.
Broom was convicted of kidnapping, raping and killing a 14-year-old girl in 1984.

Extending the theoretical structure of intelligence to counterintelligence
Henry Prunckun
Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security
This paper consolidates the author's view on his holistic theory of counterintelligence. Based on the author's previously published research, this paper advances a theory that used a "grounded theory" approach. The study's specific purpose was to explore the theoretical base that underscores counterintelligence. Data were collected by means of a survey of the existing intelligence literature and a thematic analysis to develop the theory's propositions. The resulting theory is articulated in three axioms and four principles. The axioms are: surprise, all-source data collection, and universal targeting. The principles are grouped according to defensive counterintelligence (deterrence and detection), and offensive counterintelligence (detection—which is shared with defensive—deception, and neutralisation). The central conclusion is that counterintelligence is not a security function per se. Even though counterintelligence incorporates security, it has at its core analysis and acts as the keystone that holds other forms of intelligence work together.

Who Plays Jennifer On DAYS OF OUR LIVES
After everything that Jennifer Horton has gone through on DAYS OF OUR LIVES.
Understandably, every new crisis would make fans wonder if this was the last straw.
However, looking back at the epic drama she endured on DAYS, you will see that this woman is a fighter.
The character first appeared in February of 1976 and was played by child actress Maren Stephenson.
Then it was recast with Jennifer Peterson from December 1977 until July 1979, at which point the character was written off the show.
Jennifer returned in October of 1985 and was played by Melissa Reeves.
There was a temporary recast from 1995-to 1998 when Stephanie Cameron took over for a little while,
Moreover, in October 2020, Cady McClain stepped into the role.
After McClain exited in February 2021, Reeves returned to reclaim the role in December for another brief stint.
However, when the character returned in June 2022, McClain played the part.


Huey Lewis and the News / Collected
August 15, 2017 by Paul Sinclairtags: 1980s, 1990s, Huey Lewis and The News
Excellent career-spanning 3CD compilation • limited red 2LP vinyl
The best kept secret in pop/rock compilations is Universal Music Netherlands' occasional 'Collected' career summaries. These continue in August with a three CD Huey Lewis and the News set (and a 2LP vinyl).
Perhaps because these are never full international releases (and normally have to be bought as imports) the label has a knack of licensing the tracks that more mainstream compilations normally forego (songs from soundtracks, various artists compilations) and this set looks typically superb.
It goes right back to the beginning by including the A and B-side of the band's first single in 1979 when they were called 'American Express' (on CD 3, the disc normally reserved for rarities) and brings the story right up to date with a couple of tracks from their last studio outing, 2010's Soulsville. In between (on CD 1 & 2) is no less than every single the band every released, often in single edit form – for example the rare Jellybean single mix of Back in Time is included.
The third disc mops up plenty of rarities including a couple of tracks by US country/rock band Clover (when Huey Lewis was a member), the live Trouble In Paradise from the USA for Africa album, B-side Flip Flop & Fly, the band's cover of Oh! Darling from the 1995 compilation album Come Together: America Salutes The Beatles and four extended versions that the label are claiming 'unreleased-on-CD'. They are the Extended Version/Dance Mix of I Want A New Drug (the song that famously 'inspired' the Ghostbusters theme tune, the Jellybean Remix of both Heart and Soul and The Power Of Love and the Dance Remix of Hip To Be Square.
This is all good stuff and vinyl fans can pre-order a 2LP gatefold vinyl edition that has a cut-down version of the 3CD track listing; even better, snap up the limited RED vinyl (1,500 copies) at a great price (see below).
The 3CD of Collected is released on 1 September 2017, and the vinyl follows a week later on 8 September.

Love this compilat on – best one yet of Huey Lewis and the News. Remixes are terrific. First time I've seen It Hit Me Like A Hammer on any compilation. Highly recommend
Mark Bumgardner says:
I pre-ordered this from Amazon.com, hoping it would ship on the day of release (Sept. 1), but it hasn't shipped yet. Has this happened to anyone else who pre-ordered? Just wondering.
Gildas says:
Can´t find the CD version on Amazon, only the vinyl set..
According to Amazon this is being released tomorrow ?
Just bought this from the marketplace on amazon and it's preparing for dispatch. Only thing the estimated delivery is the the 4th September hope it comes a lot quicker.
Geoff G says:
I've never owned any Huey Lewis music before, but looking through the song list; I see so many songs that I recognize. I think this might be worth a blind buy!
PS: The version is not mentioned on the sleeve of the single. The difference can be seen in the lenght (3:53 for the album version, 4:18 for the remix).
the version of Power of Love with the extended guitar solo is also known as the Jellybean Single Remix. It has the same enhanced drum sound and sound effects plus more echo on the vocals, just like the 12″ Version. It has been released on single in the UK in 1986 to promote the Fore Album.

RichardB says:
Hi Paul, looks like Amazon.co.uk now have a listing for the CD version. Hopefully the price will come down a bit…
The CD is on Amazon now priced at £20.46 and the release date is the 1st September.
Charlie Waffles says:
I am glad to see the Gwyneth Paltrow duet is left off! Yeah!
Hey RichardB! That is very interesting indeed. Yeah, it looks very much like this 8-CD set does have the PoL version with the extended guitar solo.
Plus, I just realized in fact, that extended guitar solo version was on the first German pressing of the Fore! CD, so it actually can be found on a Huey Lewis CD as well.
AudioDile, oh man, that would be great if it was indeed the 6:42 "Special Remix"! I have it on the German 12″ you mention and I think both the 5:49 remix (which is on the Japanese "Super Selections" CD) and the 6:42 one are great in their own right. Fingers crossed they picked the 6:42 one for this release.
AudioDile says:
Well, bummer. It's just the same old Heart & Soul remix we've already seen released on CD. I guess I'm spending $25 for one remix of Hip to Be Square then, LOL.
I have a problem.
According to The Second Disc website, in the footnotes of the tracklisting, it suggests that the Heart & Soul remix is in fact the Special Remix (6:42) taken from this German 12″: https://www.discogs.com/Huey-Lewis-And-The-News-Heart-And-Soul/release/1242354 – it was also released on some versions of the New Drug 12″.
As for the "Jellybean Remix" tag, I can't find any real confirmation which of the two remixes is the Jellybean mix, the one that's been released on disc or the "Special Remix". Hopefully it's the 6:42 version and not the 5:49, which would make this even better.
Charlie Shine says:
Just for your information The Jellybean Remix is called Dance Mix and is included on the U.K. Heart And Soul E.P. from 1985. I can confirm it is 5:49 (https://www.discogs.com/Huey-Lewis-And-The-News-The-Heart-And-Soul-EP/release/1575510)
The 6:42 version is also called 12-inch mix (https://www.discogs.com/Huey-Lewis-And-The-News-Heart-And-Soul/release/4126459)
Hi Matthias, I could be wrong, but I've got the 8CD set below and the version of Power of Love is different to any other in my collection so could be the 'extended guitar' version you mention above:

fj says:
Did the UB40 Collected album feature single versions?
Very awesome collection! I'm glad to see a lot of stuff that I've been keeping around on vinyl for many years, especially the American Express tracks.
As far as I know, that leaves the following songs unavailable on any official Huey Lewis CD:
The Hart of Rock 'n Roll – Canadian "West Side" Version ("Vancouver") (4:15)
The Hart of Rock 'n Roll – Canadian "East Side" Version ("Toronto/Montreal") (4:15)
The Power of Love – Version with extended guitar solo (4:19)
Don't ever tell me that you love me (1986 remix) (3:01)
I want a new Drug (Instrumental from promo 12″) (4:30)
Some of my Lies are true (1986 remix) (3:23)
Hip to be Square (Dub Mix) (5:12)
Small World (Extended Dance Mix) (7:14)
The Power of Love (Instrumental) (4:13)
Heart and Soul (Special Remix) (6:42)
Plus a bunch of live B-Sides. No matter what, this collection is dynamite! I am looking forward to it.

a very few days ago i purchased the power of love 7″ single while digging on a bargain bin in a Vienna record shop , cool!! :)
Nice to see the single mix of Back In Time included. But it would have been nice to see the extended version as well.
I Want A New Drug (Dance Mix) is on So80s 10 as well. Looking on JPC they are asking £20 for this i think i will wait until it appears on Amazon like the Robert Palmer one did which i picked up for £12.
michael59 says:
apart from the japanese huey compilation you posted, i think i really saw this jellybean remix on various other various artists compilations already, not just the one to which i linked in my earlier post – so not really a "new on CD" rarity…
is it true that the jellybean remix of 'the power of love' (7:10 minutes) is unreleased on CD?
i think i saw it on various 80s compilation like this for example:
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Classic-Cuts-The-12-Box-80s2/release/2804239
kiefer2 says:
No it was released on this cd:
https://www.discogs.com/Huey-Lewis-And-The-News-%E3%83%92%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B6%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9-Super-Selections-%E3%83%91%E3%83%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B4/release/1287122
That mix is on that Japanese compilation i linked to above. I have always wished they would have brought out deluxe versions of their albums especially Sports,Fore and Small World. I know they did Sports a few years back but it was rubbish.
Saw Huey and the News live when they had just released the Small World album. Great live and been following them since. Must buy for the CD set.
Paul E. says:
I was always a Huey Lewis and the News fan- but, in 2000, with the (film) release of "American Psycho" it pretty much sealed my fandom. Quotes from the movie below [still can't believe this guy/Christian Bale played Batman!]:
BATEMAN: You like Huey Lewis and the News?
ALLEN: Um, they're okay.
BATEMAN: Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when "Sports" came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
ALLEN: Hey, Halberstram?
BATEMAN: Yes, Allen?
ALLEN: Why are there copies of the Style section all over the place? Do you… Do you have a dog? A little chow or something?
BATEMAN: No, Allen.
ALLEN: Is that a raincoat?
BATEMAN: Yes, it is. In '87, Huey released this; "Fore!", their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Paul!
[Bateman murders Allen with an axe]
There's a brief chapter in the book extolling the virtues of Huey Lewis & The News:
https://www.e-reading.club/chapter.php/79864/47/Ellis_-_American_Psycho.html
There are further chapters about Whitney Houston and Phil Collins.
RJS – I may be forced to read now. Thank you!
enh says:
Sehr schöne Zusammenstellung und das für nur 17 Euro bei JPC, Danke für den Hinweis!
Eh ?
The only 12 inch mix that has not been on CD is Hip to Be Square (Dance Remix). The rest are on this https://musicbrainz.org/release/8827f73c-ed69-4c3a-987a-b370e12ce047
Only on some Japanese compilation still means that they are reasonably rare though (albeit not 'previously unreleased' as claimed).
@Aron
A list of "Collected" releases can be found on the discogs.com website:

don cooper says:
I saw Huey and Clover support Lizzy back in the day.Will always have time for him as he gave a moving tribute to Philo on a televised awards ceremony-may have been an early Brit International Award…
Good Egg.
Wow! They remembered the 12″ mixes. Will be buying :)
Todd R. says:
Well, the one duet with Gwen P. isn't on there….. (giggle)
Tim-meh says:
The mullets still look awesome even in silhouette.
There was a super hits Japanese import that had all of the 12″ remixes on it with the exception of the remix for "hip to be square". I ordered it years ago used on Amazon. I'm not sure if it's still in print?
What other bands have been released under the Collected range?
If the rest are as good as this I might swing for a few
If you go to the Music on Vinyl website they have a full list if you search for "Collected".
I have UB40, Marvin Gaye, Thin Lizzy and Robert Palmer and they are superb. I missed out on Mamas and Papas, Charles Aznavour etc as the material didn't excite me but the next tranche sounds better.
the one I can't seem to find on Vinyl is Paul Carrack which also looks terrific.
Mark Rutherford says:
I believe Clover were the backing band on Elvis Costello's debut album?
Russell Emberson says:
Looks a good collection, Huey Lewis is a guilty pleasure of mine. I remember buying Sports in Cheapo Cheapo in London back in the 80's purely for Bad is Bad as Dave Edmunds had covered it . I was expecting a blues album as Huey played Harmonica but it was a excellent pop/rock album and have followed him ever since, will certainly get this
stephen k says:
Fantastic. If only they would do one for Hall and Oates!
There's a wonderful box set for Hall & oats that covers all of the rarities and there's also a greatest hits collection that includes all of the single 7 inch mixes along with the video remix for "out of touch".
Peter Brown says:
Universal Netherlands releases many interesting compilations. The reason I haven't been buying them for years now, is because of the sound quality. Often they use vinyl drops for tracks that have not been released on cd before. Tracks that have already been on cd, they take from the previously released cd's instead of using the masters. Then they 'level' the bunch. So, if tracks have already been leveled before, for an earlier cd, they are being leveled again. Not a good thing.
Ian Hicks says:
My local independent, Banquet Records in Kingston, are stocking the red vinyl for £23.99!

Bjarne Laastad says:
I wasn't impressed by the sound on the Level 42 "Collected"-CDs. Hope this one's better – cause I love the tracklisting!
Amazon UK has a listing, but only black vinyl version so far.
Thanks…I've added.
Ben Williams says:
Saw this on Huey Lewis's site the other day (I'm a secret fan of theirs lol!) and was very happy to see this set being released! It'll be nice to own the American Express singles finally and some rare tracks.
It did say on their website this will be available worldwide soon.
These Collected series are great – if only the guys that compile these could compile a Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins set with non-CD B sides and 12″ mixes….
A Eurythmics Collected that rounded up some of the many, many tracks that were left off the reissue series would be great.
That would be excellent
Gisabun says:
Gabriel has a sh?t load of tracks from b'sides, mixes, soundtracks, tributes and other stuff. I'm sure he could fill at least 8 CDs and that might be on the low end…
I think most of Collins' stuff have been released on this recent [but crappy-ish releases] except for the 12″ers and live stuff.
Nice! Not sure I ever got the New Drug/Ghostbusters thing, but then I am not a musician. There has been talk of a new HL&TN album for a while, I still cannot see any sign of it. Never heard Exo-Disco or Clover so I will be getting this one.
jsd says:
The synth basslines and synth chord stabs are *very* close, albeit in different keys. Anyway, RPJ settled out of court so he either didn't think he had a case, or he just wanted the suit to go away.
I am a musician and my personal opinion is that they are similar but it doesn't rise to the level of criminal action. It seems a lot like the Blurred Lines/Marvin Gaye lawsuit, and the jury in that one found for Marvin Gaye. (As much as I loathe Blurred Lines and all the parties involved with it, I think that the jury was completely wrong.)
Looks like a pretty good set. Definitely on my radar. Surprised, since there are some solo tracks on here, that they didn't license "Cruising" with Gwyneth Paltrow from the Duets soundtrack, since that actually had some chart impact, but I think is harder to find right now.
elliott buckingham says:
nice to see mov trying to squeeze nearly 25 minutes of music onto a side of vinyl. recently got the extreme reissue and its awful a complete lack of bass and the ub40 collected sounds great at the start but is easily a track too long on each side.
BenW says:
I bought "Sports" "Picture This" and "Fore!" LPs off Discogs for about £4 each. Its awash with them, and in great condition too. Still sounds fantastic.

KYLE BACK OVER
Kentucky-born, now Nashville-based, Kyle Daniel will be returning to the UK to play the high-profile C2C Country 2 Country 2020 festival. Though hailed as a rising talent in the world of Country, Kyle can't be pigeonholed and differs from artists heard on mainstream Country radio as he brings new rock-sourced ingredients to the party, echoing his heroes The Allman Brothers amongst others.
Praised by Rolling Stone as having "the gravely twang of Steve Earle with Chris Stapleton's range, plus bigger hooks," the influential magazine listed Kyle Daniel as one of their 10 Country Artists You Need to Know. Their verdict: "His rich, melodic breed of baritone country is perfect for a moment that finally embraces the Stapletons and the Sturgill Simpsons of the world."
Rolling Stone also recognised Kyle Daniel's genre-crossing rock appeal, such as the "rocking bit of Stones swagger" in his single 'Hangover Town', showing that whilst his following is strong in the Country and Americana scene, Kyle's range, appeal and fans do reach beyond those picket fence boundaries into Rock, Country Rock and Southern Rock territories.
A savvy sample of Kyle's style can be heard in his bare bones, live performance video of 'God Bless America (Damn Rock N' Roll)' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJdGtXMRX5c). Filmed in the Mockingbird Theater in Franklin, Tennessee, the video showcases the man's vocals, vibrant energy and talent for harmony and melody, along with power chords and his band's energy, attack, and wall of electric guitars.
Kyle values live performance and approaches it with passion and gusto. "At our live shows," he says, "we've been taking the songs off the EP to the next level and dissecting them and seeing parts that we can enhance. And that chorus in 'God Bless America' is one of the best sing-along ones we got. It's a snapshot of the rebellious nature of being an American."
"Wearing his heart on a tattered sleeve," said For Folk's Sake (describing Kyle's 5-track EP 'What's There to Say?'), "he pairs everyman lyricism with a rusty vocal akin to Blackberry Smoke, Will Hoge and Chris Stapleton, bristled with a warm guitar bravado. It comes as no surprise that he's road-dogged as a guitarist for Clare Dunn, Jimmy Hall and Casey James, as well as opened for the likes of Jason Isbell and Miranda Lambert. These are rich, authentic stories told from the perspective of someone who's wrestled with the ups and downs of being a touring musician."
Since Kyle Daniel's first visit to UK shores, during Country Music Week in October 2019, British fans' reaction has been enthusiastic and outstanding, as Kyle himself acknowledges: "The amount of love that I have received since returning from the UK has been unbelievable! The fans that caught wind of our first appearances over the pond, or those who were able to catch one of our shows, are more than just fans; they're family. I have never been welcomed with such open arms and acceptance in my entire life.
"I feel like the family that we are building overseas REALLY get it, and understand me as a person as well as an artist! They appreciate the importance of artistry/songwriting and I cannot thank everyone enough for the continued support. This time, we are going to have a few surprises up our sleeve, so I really hope everyone keeps a close eye on the schedule to see when we will ROCK this time around!"
This time around, Kyle will be rocking with his full band at the fabled C2C COUNTRY TO COUNTRY 2020 festival, making 4 appearances there, performing on the Spotlight Stage and around The O2 over the festival weekend. A great chance to catch this rising artist in his ascendancy. Kyle will be returning to the studio in May, laying down new tracks, then returning to the UK later in the year, taking them out on the road and back across The Pond.

2023 Ford Maverick Orders Should Open on August 16th, 2022
Based on many reports, the upcoming 2023 Ford Maverick pickup truck is expected to be a carryover model. Given that the current truck is still fresh, no significant changes are expected. However, we're expecting some small upgrades here and there, and the same comfortable cabin.
If you didn't know, this truck is one of the most affordable hybrids that you can find currently on the market. It comes with a choice of two powertrains, including 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid or a 2.0-liter EcoBoost. As reported by Blue Oval, they stopped taking orders of the current model a few days ago due to high demand.
2023 Ford Maverick Redesign
The exterior design of the new 2023 Ford Maverick will come with no significant changes. Considering that this model will be carryover, we're expecting the same design. So, the Ford Maverick will wear the same black mesh grille and LED headlights.
The boxy appearance will also remain, with the same proportion. According to Ford, you'll have a choice to go for 17 or 18-inch wheels. The XL as the base model includes steel wheels, while FX4 gets a unique 17-inch aluminum wheel.
Inside, we don't expect some significant upgrades over the current model. The XL base model will probably continue to offer the same 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 6-speaker audio system.
The seating arrangements will be unchanged, so expect the new Maverick to offer room for five passengers. As before, the manufacture will most likely to equipped this truck with the same pre-collision assists with automatic emergency braking. However, we're expecting more amenities on the upper trims.
2023 Ford Maverick Engine Specs
As the previous model, the new 2023 Ford Maverick will be available with two different engines. The first one is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid producing up to 191 horsepower and 155 lb.-ft of torque. As you can see, the engine is potent, and it will pull this small truck with ease.
Besides hybrid powertrain, the manufacture will also offer a 2.0-liter EcoBoost that produces 250 hp and 277 lb.-ft. Both engines will use the new ten-speed automatic transmission, offering either the front wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The hybrid variant will be very economical, which we cannot say for the EcoBoost engine. Still, with EcoBoost setup, the Ford Maverick is more efficient than the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
2023 Ford Maverick Release Date, Price
As reported by Blue Oval, the orders of the current model are closed due to high demand. However, from information that we got, the order books for the 2023 Ford Maverick should open on August 16th, 2022. Ford was offering the Maverick truck to customers with a starting price of $19,995.
Anyway, the 2023 Ford Maverick may get a slight price increase, but it will probably stay in the same range, which is one of its highlights. When it comes out, it will compete with the Hyundai Santa Cruz and a variety of midsized trucks like the Chevy Colorado and Toyota Tacoma.

COVID-19 INFORMATION: A NOTE TO OUR COMMUNITY
What type of driver's licence do I need to drive a school bus?
Applicants usually have a general Class G licence, which enables you to drive your family vehicle. However before you can drive the school bus, you will need to obtain an Ontario Class B Driver's Licence.
Do you provide special training?
Yes. Langs is authorized by the Ministry of Transportation to provide all training and licensing, including your Class B Driver's Licence. All training and testing is provided in-house by qualified instructors at no cost to you.
Do I need previous bus driving experience to apply?
No. If you are a healthy, mature adult and have a good driving record, we have the training and materials to make you an excellent school bus driver. At Langs, we are more concerned with your desire to work with children, and your rapport with them, their parents and school teachers. Are you community driven?
Besides the ability to drive a vehicle, what other skills do you look for in a school bus driver?
We're looking for reliable, dependable, patient people who enjoy working with kids and want to make a positive impact on these young people's lives.
How many hours a day would I have to work?
On average you would work four hours each day from Monday to Friday. Your shift is split into two time segments: 7:00 to 9:00 am, and 2:30 to 4:30 pm. These times are approximate, and will vary depending on your particular route.
Can I drive the school bus for the kids in my own neighbourhood?
Yes! In fact, Langs prefers to recruit and employ drivers to work in the communities in which they live. We have found that those who are familiar with the neighbourhood streets and geographical features, and who know the students and parents are more comfortable, confident drivers. This also minimizes the amount of time it takes you to get to work. We really are community driven.
Where is the bus parked when it's not in use? Can I park it in my driveway?
Usually the buses are returned to one of Langs bus parking lots in the areas we serve. In some cases, if there is an appropriate location, you can park it at home. However, every situation is unique. For example, there may be bylaws restricting the storage of large vehicles on one's property in the city. But if you live in a rural area and you are on the bus route, it may make sense to park the school bus on your property when it's not in use.
What do I do if kids are being rude or disruptive on the school bus?
This is a common concern of many applicants. It may surprise you to hear that students on the school bus are better behaved than you might imagine. Should a situation take place on your bus, your training will prepare you to deal with it in an effective way. Usually, a firm warning is all it takes.
What do I do if I suspect someone of bullying?
There is an increasing awareness of bullying and this area is addressed in your training. If you suspect a student of being a bully, you and your supervisor would report it to the student's school. School officials will investigate the matter.
Are parents of children allowed to ride the bus?
No. Parents are not authorized to ride the bus. School Boards strictly monitor and control who is riding the school bus other than those who have authorization from the school principal. If a parent asks to ride the bus, provide the parent with our business card, and instruct him or her to call our office.
I have a pre-schooler. Am I able to bring her on the bus with me so I don't have to find before and after school care?
Langs does not permit unauthorized passengers such as pre-schoolers on the bus. As a trained school bus driver, your primary concern is for the safety of your passengers and other motorists. Think of how often your child needs you when you're driving your own vehicle. Having your child on the school bus could create distractions that would take your attention away from the safe operation of the bus.
Why are there no seat belts on the school bus?
Instead of requiring seat belts, school buses are designed and constructed differently from passenger cars. School buses protect passengers through "compartmentalization," a design that includes:
Seats with high backs
Seats filled with energy-absorbing material
Seats placed closed together to form compartments
Strong seat anchorages

Okay, I'm ready! If I apply today, when can I start?
We are recruiting and training now, for employment during the school year.

Incidence and Prevalence of celiac disease in Hazara Division, KP Pakistan by anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody as diagnostic tool
Abdul Haseeb, Azam Hayat, Aamer Ali Khattak, Mujaddadur Rehman, Faheem Jan, Bilal Ahmed, Usman Ayub, Rizwan Ullah, Shafiquer Rehman, Anum Khan
Aims: To check the prevalence of CD among different age groups and across gender in population of Hazara division and to determine the distribution of CD through ELISA technique.
Study design: A cross sectional study was designed at department of medical Lab Technology, University of Haripur, Haripur (KPK).
Place and duration: Samples were analyzed at Hamdard laboratory from November 2016 to May 2017.
Methods: we used ELISA technique in our study. According to the company instructions, the ELISA method was used to detect anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies using this approach, which is sensitive, and specific. We target anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody by this technique which is an optimistic antibody assisting in the validation of the CD diagnostic test.
Results Total 8000 patients samples were collected from Gastro OPD of district head quarter (DHQ) hospital Haripur, Abbottabad and Mansehra of Hazara Division. Out of 8000 the 6880(86%) male and 1120(14%) females. About 568(7.1%) cases were highly positive while 120(1.5%) cases were weak positive and the rest of 7312 (91.4%) cases were negative. Out of 568(7.1%) highly positive cases 452(79.6%) were males and 116 (20.4 %) were females. Furthermore 120(1.5%) of weak positive cases 74 (61.7%) were males and around 46(38.3%) were female.
Conclusion: For centuries, CD has indeed been kept under wraps, with little to no known about what is a comparatively common health problem. This is only recently that we have improved our knowledge of its Prevalence, pervasiveness, prognosis, and pathophysiology that has assisted in the creation of new CD treatment strategies.
Key words: Celiac disease, ELISA, Anti-tissue transglutaminase, Gluten.

Harris County DA Engages in Sex Assault Victim Shaming
Category: Criminal Law | Sexual Abuse
In 2012, a judge in Sacramento placed a 17-year-old rape victim in juvenile detention because she failed to appear in court on two occasions to testify against the suspected 37-year-old serial rapist who abducted and raped her.
Incarcerating Victims Will Not Encourage Reporting Sex Assault
Writing in an April 2012 edition of Ms.blog, Angi Becker Stevens made these observations about the judge's decision to jail the victim:
"It is reasonable for judges and prosecutors to be concerned about women refusing to testify against rapists; such testimony is obviously vital in bringing perpetrators of sexual violence to justice. But if we wish to give more victims the courage to come forward, the solution is certainly not to threaten them with incarceration. The only way survivors of sexual violence will be empowered to seek justice is if we create a culture and a legal system that do not engage in victim shaming. Women need to be able to speak out about sexual violence without fear she'll be blamed, ridiculed or disbelieved. A culture in which victims are silenced by fear and shame is one in which sexual violence can continue to occur with impunity. By imprisoning a victim, Judge Brown has done nothing to encourage women to testify against perpetrators of sexual violence. Instead, he has added the threat of jail time to the list of reasons why women might be too frightened to report sexual assault in the first place."
Progressive ideas do not travel to Texas via the interstate. Instead, they meander through back roads, piney woods, and dried up pasture land, much like tumble weeds trying to find an anchor. They travel at speeds comparable the Mule Team Express.
Harris County DA Jails Victim of Sex Assault to Secure Testimony at Trial
So, it should not be surprising that prosecutors sought, and secured, a court order to have a rape victim locked up in jail over the last Christmas holiday season after what the Houston Chronicle called "a psychological breakdown" while testifying about her 2013 sexual assault.
Defense Lawyer Stands for Rights of Victims
The newspaper reported that Sean Buckley, the attorney now representing the rape victim identified only as "Jane Doe," delivered a letter on August 1 to Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson requesting that her office investigate whether the prosecutors responsible for the jailing of Ms. Doe violated state law ("official oppression").
This letter was preceded by a federal lawsuit filed by the victim alleging that the unlawful arrest and seizure violated her civil rights.
"I have made a colorable claim that employees in your office engaged in official oppression in their treatment of my client," Buckley said in his letter to Anderson, referencing the lawsuit. "This is a very serious matter that deserves a full, independent investigation by a neutral prosecutor with no ties to your office."
DA Believes Witness Detention Justified by Law
We agree – and we disagree with the view Anderson expressed during a press conference on Monday, August 1, that "There is no reason to believe that anyone in this situation – the prosecutor or the judge – believed that what they were doing was unauthorized by the law."
The bare facts of this incident are fairly simple, and cast reasonable doubt on Anderson's view of the situation.
Homeless and Bi-Polar: A Bad Combination for Justice in Harris County
Jane Doe had a history of being a homeless person suffering from a serious bipolar disorder when called to testify last December against her alleged attacker. She suffered what a local media source described as "mental health crisis" while testifying against her accused rapist. She was hospitalized for ten days recovering from this mental breakdown.
Victim Wanted to be Released
During her hospital stay, Ms. Doe informed prosecutor Nicholas Socias that she would not testify in court again and wanted to be released.
DA Wants Her Available to Testify
Apparently concerned that Ms. Doe would disappear into the world of homelessness once released from custody, the prosecutor spoke to Ms. Doe's mother about her daughter staying in the mother's home until the trial was over. The mother rejected this prospect, saying it would be "too stressful" to have her daughter in the house.
So to ensure that Ms. Doe would be available as a witness against her alleged attacker, Socias requested that the court issue what is called an "attachment order"—an order that allows a witness to be held in jail without bond pending disposition of the court proceeding. The trial judge issued the order.
Victim/Witness Placed in General Population and Assaulted
Jane Doe was then released from the hospital and placed in general population in the Harris County Jail—a facility known for its inmate-on-inmate violence; the same facility where her alleged assailant was housed. She was physically assaulted by another inmate.
In effect, the DA's Office allowed its own victim-witness to be attacked for being a "snitch" in the eyes of her fellow inmates.
DA Anderson conceded something "went wrong" in the handling of the Jane Doe case and admitted that the "fault" for it rested with her office.
To prevent such future episodes, the DA plans to appoint an "inner office tracker" to monitor jail inmates being held on witness bonds and bench warrants to make sure they are not forgotten as Jane Doe was. She also said her office would be pushing the Texas Legislature to enact a law that would allow inmates like Jane Doe to be appointed an attorney to represent their interests.
DA Apologizes for an "Awful Situation"
DA Anderson apologized to Jane Doe, saying: "I'm very sorry about how all of this played out …it was just an awful situation, and I regret it very much."
The "situation" was indeed awful.
No witness, especially a victim of a sexual assault, should be treated (mistreated is probably a better word) as was Jane Doe. This is a horrific example of "victim shaming," made exceedingly worse by Ms. Doe's mental health issues.
Harris County Sheriff's Role
There seems to be a lot of victim shaming going around in Harris County these days. Grits for Breakfast recently pointed to the Harris County Sheriff's Department laying the blame for inmate deaths due to "antibiotic resistant staph infections" on the inmates themselves—not the deplorable conditions of the jail or its woefully inadequate medical delivery system.
Harris County jail officials, we believe, are also just as responsible for Ms. Doe's mistreatment as was the DA's office. Her federal lawsuit charges that she was misclassified as a perpetrator of a sexual assault—not the victim of one, as reported in the New York Times. The lawsuit also alleges that she was denied medication and was punched in the face by a jail guard.
Jail officials should not have placed her in general population but rather in protective custody where she would have been more closely monitored. We suspect that jail officials will claim that she was responsible for her own assault and probably should have been disciplined for it. That seems to be the mindset of Harris County jail officials.
Criminal Justice Reforms Needed
The Texas Legislature needs to step up and address the issue of individuals being held in county jails on witness bonds and bench warrants without the benefit of counsel in order to prevent horrible incidents like the Jane Doe case. These individuals, many of whom are victims of violence crimes, come from the ranks poverty and social disenfranchisement. They lack the means to hire an attorney.
We would ask this question: would Jane Doe have experienced the same level of mistreatment from the Harris County justice system had she been a person of financial means and social status?
We think not.
And therein lies the injustice.


Is Beautiful Country Another Name for America?
HOME Social Social Issue
Kim Hye-jeong
Koreans have called the United States of America Mi-guk (美國), which means "beautiful country," for a long time. However, there are few people who know exactly when Koreans started calling the USA Mi-guk.
Recently, a movement to change the Chinese spelling of Mi-guk is spreading among netizens in Korea. It originated from a proposal that the Chinese spelling of Mi-guk be changed from "beautiful Mi (美)" into "rice Mi (米)" by the Association of Small Stockholders of HAITAI Confectionery & Foods (ASSHCF). They made a survey of 3,598 peoples on and off line and found that 3,217 people approved of the ASSHCF spelling change.
This movement has progressed in earnest as the Headquarters of Movement for Correcting the Name of America (HMCNA) was established on April 30. They are conducting a campaign to collect signatures and a survey of netizens on line. 1,699 netizens signed the on-line document and 2,505 out of 2,445 netizens cast favorable votes for changing the Chinese spelling of Mi-guk.
"Oh No Festival" was held by the ASSHCF, the HMCNA, other social groups and netizens in Kyunghee Univeristy on May 3. Anti-Americanism was at a high pitch in Korea after ome questionable officiating at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. In this atmosphere, the HMCNA conducted a public survey in the form of stickers. Of the 4,237 people who cast votes, 4,194 were favorable. Also, the Pan-Nation Walking Assembly for correcting the name of America was held by the HMCNA and other social groups on May 26. About 200 people including elementary schoolchildren and those in their seventies took part in this event. It's purpose was to inform people about the campaign to correct the name of the USA.
Why does the name of America have to be corrected? If you surf the web-site of the HMCNA, you can see the following sentence at the top of the main page. "It is deplorable that we naturally call and spell America, which caused us pain during the Winter Olympics, FX project and Nogeun-ri massacre, etc., as "beautiful country." Does the HMCNA pursue anti-Americanism?
Yoo Jin-young, a director of the HMCNA, says, "We don't pursue anti-Americanism impulsively. The Chinese spelling of USA had been "米 (it means rice)" in the Choson Period. Though we don't know for certain, it seems that "美 (it means beautiful)" has been used by Koreans after Korea was under the military administration of the USA. Although many people think that this issue is of no importance, the Chinese spelling of America must be changed to recover the self-respect of our nation. I don't mean that the best alternative Chinese spelling of America is "米." We are collecting netizens' opinion about this through free board."
Korea has had diplomatic, economic and cultural relations with the USA for a long time. We can feel American culture everywhere. Will American culture disappear from Korean society if we only boycott American goods? American culture is pervasive in Korea. An important thing is "consciousness." The ultimate purpose of the HMCNA is to change the Chinese spelling of America. However, this campaign gives Korean people an opportunity to think about the relations between Korea and America again.

The Air War I
Ireland's 'benevolent' neutrality during the second world war
59 Squadron Ballykelly 1945 (for role NI air bases)2 320x227.jpg
In 1939, when the world once again plunged itself into war, Ireland or Eíre as it became known in the 1937 constitution, like other neutral countries, found itself being drawn indirectly into situations where the war, no matter how small-scale, was landing on its doorstep. In Eíre's case it was her geographical position in relation to the North Atlantic and especially to Britain, that brought the second world war to her shores and even at times caused her officially to breach her neutrality.
Ireland's geographical location only touched British consciousness at times of insurrection or external danger. Throughout the first three years of the war, it was the pressing need for the treaty ports of, Berehaven, Lough Swilly and Cobh which Chamberlain returned to the Free State in 1938 and the fear that Germany might use Eíre as a platform for an assault upon Britain that dominated British strategic thinking on Ireland.
However, there was a feeling among British ministers that Eíre's benevolent neutrality was of more use to Britain than her participation in the war as an ally. The loss of the treaty ports was compensated for by the use of Belfast and Derry in the North and by 1943 when the British began to turn the tide against the stranglehold the U-boats were having on their convoys, the importance of the southern treaty ports began to diminish.
The Taoiseach Eamon de Valera saw the retention of the ports by Ireland as not only a symbol of independence but an establishment of independence. His view was that any tiny qualification of the principle of sovereignty was a denial of that principle. However, the proof of that sovereignty was Britain's acceptance of Irish neutrality, a policy that was thus publicly unalterable inside Eíre. In fact, the most impressive aspect of Ireland's foreign and domestic policy during the war was not the act of neutrality nor its later benevolence toward the Allies but the consistency with which that neutrality was expressed until the end of the war.
Basis of Ireland's neutrality
The neutrality of Ireland aroused much ill-informed and often acrimonious comment in Britain and America. The subject bristled with many difficulties and its possibilities for dissension and quarrels were not ignored by Nazi propaganda. Eíre's neutrality rested on a solid basis. On April 25, 1938, the then governments of Britain and Eíre signed an agreement by which Article 7 and its Annex of the Anglo-Irish Treaty 1921 (which by implication made the Irish Free State a co-belligerent of a Britain at war) 'ceased to have effect' and at the same time gave Eíre full and final sovereignty over and possession of Lough Swilly, Berehaven and Cobh, hitherto reserved to the British Admiralty for Naval bases. This and other British legislation put beyond doubt Ireland's legal right to choose between belligerency and neutrality.
In September 1939, the Irish Government chose neutrality. Both the people and their representatives showed an almost unanimous approval for this course. The general feeling was that to enter a modern mechanised war that was none of Eíre's making and with almost 'bare hands', would be to invite a suicidal risk. Further to assert and maintain neutrality would be one more affirmation of Ireland's sovereign rites (already declared in The Eíre Constitution 1937), which is conceived to embrace the whole of Ireland. It was because of the terms of this constitution that de Valera felt bound to record a protest against the landing of American troops in the North in 1942, for the constitution treats that territory as an integral part of Ireland, though conceived to be temporarily severed from the rest by an artificial and externally imposed line of partition unrelated to the wishes of the majority of the Irish people and subject to reconsideration.
Emergency legislation and censorship (De Valera sympathy towards Britain)
At the beginning of the war, de Valera introduced legislation to provide his government with emergency powers to keep Eíre out of the war. Despite this, and his strong belief in a United Ireland, when it came to the worst conflict the world has had to endure with the veil of Nazism and everything that entailed, there is no doubt his sympathy lay with Britain. On September 14, 1939, during his first meeting with Sir John Maffey, the British representative to Ireland, he went out of his way to emphasise this sympathy. 'England has a moral position today,' he said. 'Hitler might have his early successes, but the moral position [will] tell.' In reality, the propaganda of de Valera and his party was more Republican than its actions.
IRA Interned
When de Valera came to power in 1932, all IRA Volunteers imprisoned by the former regime were released. But now he demanded from everyone the recognition of majority rule within the Free State. Once the oath of allegiance to the British Crown under the 1921 treaty was removed, there could be no objection to such a recognition of majority rule and to recognising the Free State parliament as a legitimate body. In March 1932, the new government became the establishment within a state against which they had initially fought.
They were keen to woo Republicans, and through their mixture of social and symbolic policies – together with their offer of pensions to ex-IRA men – they substantially managed to do just that. During the 1930s, de Valera undid most of what Republicans felt to be unacceptable about the 1921 treaty. These included: land annuity payments to Britain, the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, the office of Governor-General, the right of appeal to the Privy Council, British access to Irish naval facilities, and the 1922 Constitution.
De Valera had used and manipulated the Republican movement until he took power. Now, any Republican who did not accept the new establishment was interned as was anyone else who showed the slightest sign of violating his emergency laws. He even interned high profile figures such as Jack Plunkett a brother of one of the leaders of the Easter Rebellion of 1916 and Tomás MacCurtáin son of the Lord Mayor of Cork who had been murdered by an RIC murder squad in 1920. IRA prisoners died on hunger strike and others were executed by firing squads. 'Prisoners [will] not be allowed to dictate the condition under which they[will] be kept in detention,' de Valera insisted.
The most horrific experiences of political prisoners occurred in Ireland under de Valera, with prominent members of the IRA and allied Republican groups arrested. Under the Emergency Power (Amendment) Act of 1940 some 500 were interned throughout the war years. You could be arrested for 'refusing to answer questions' and for 'possessing illegal radios' Military tribunals tried men without the rules of judicial procedure, these were revoked. Wartime censorship covered up the brutality and conditions suffered by the prisoners in Portlaoise, Arbour Hill, Mountjoy and the Curragh. Most internees were released from the Curragh by November 1944, but it was not until a change in government in 1948 that the new minister for justice, General Sean MacEoin, who himself had been sentenced to death by the British in 1921, released the political prisoners.
Airspace Incursion Policy
De Valera's Government decided that Eíre should be closed to all belligerent aircraft and ships, although they had little means of preventing incursions into their airspace. However, a string of 83 lookout posts were positioned around the coast for plotting aircraft incursions. These lookout posts were manned by the Coast Watching Service, with a central control based at Mount St Joseph monastery, Clondalkin, Co. Dublin. At the start of the war, de Valera promised that the Coast Watching Service would openly broadcast such sightings. Reporting all sightings to both sides may have seemed impartial but it worked against the Luftwaffe on two counts. Germany was too far away to make use of reports of allied flights, whereas British forces could react quickly to sightings of German aircraft and submarines.
Also, the messages which were broadcast on a radio frequency agreed with the British, informed Allied planes of their positions if they were lost over Ireland. It must also be stated that the British had the secret advantage of Ultra through which they could infiltrate and de-code German signals, nor must radar and the advantage that gave, be overlooked.

Money Talks: OpenSecrets.org's Interview With Top Campaign Finance Attorney Trevor Potter
Excerpt taken from article.
Attorney Trevor Potter has been a part of the campaign finance world for two decades.
During the early 1990s, he served as a commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, and was chair of the FEC in 1994.
During the 2000 and 2008 presidential elections, Potter served as general counsel to campaign of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) -- the Republican whose name immediately brings to mind the campaign finance regulations that were crafted together with Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2002.
Potter is also the founder and general counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group that focuses on legal issues surrounding campaigns and elections and typically supports campaign finance regulations.
Most recently, Potter, who works for D.C. legal powerhouse Caplin & Drysdale, served as comedian Stephen Colbert's lawyer in Colbert's quest to form a super PAC.
OpenSecrets Blog recently sat down with Potter, one of the nation's leading authorities on government ethics and campaign finance issues, to discuss the changing campaign finance landscape.
The wide-ranging conversation touched on the seriousness of Colbert's super PAC, how political speech isn't for "sissies" and how the U.S. Supreme Court is made up of "theorists" who are "not in touch with reality" when it comes to how money is being raised and spent.
