| | Impeach Texas District Judge Barbara Walther Over FLDS Fiasco | | 2008-06-11 14:24:33 | | Texas Judge Barbara Walther authorized the removal of more than 400 children from an FLDS compound in Texas and their placement in foster care.
Both an appellate court and the Texas Supreme Court have ruled that the children and parents must be reunified. Even now Judge Walther is blocking the reunification by attempting to get parents to sign agreements with Child Protective Services before they can be reunited with their children.
Barbara Walther's actions constitute one of the greatest violation of constitutional rights in the State of Texas and she should be impeached and removed from office. This petition will be forwarded to Texas lawmakers after enough signatures are collected.
Signing this petition does not mean that you necessarily support the FLDS and their religious views.

| | MIAMI - ART DECO DISTRICT | | 2008-06-03 00:00:00 | |
I decided to spend my spring break in Miami. The weather was rainy and thunderstormy unlike the Floridas sun-drenched beaches.... in any case, I got to hang out at the South Beach where art deco buildings are concentrated. As modern architecture keeps evolving, South Beach claims to home the largest collection of Deco architecture in the world. And perhaps equally fitting sounds the idea of preserving it in its original state; it was certainly the thought behind the Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL), founded by Barbara Capitman in 1976, in tandem with designers Leonard Horowitz and Lillian Barber to establish this section as a historic district.
The Art Deco District in Miami Beach has the biggest assimilation of 1920s and 1930s resort architecture in the world. Symbolizing an era when Miami was immensely promoted as a tropical playground, the vivid colored buildings are a delight to look at. The Art Deco District was one of the first National Register listings to recogn | | By: SPACIFY – Modern Furniture | | |

The anticipated population is 51,930 by 2009."When I first started out as an agent 3 ½ years ago I couldn't put 'Financial District' on listings -- I had to put 'downtown,'" said Sang Oh, director of sales and marketing for Platinum Properties on Wall Street, "but now people want to live here."Oh is himself one of those people, having relocated to the Financial District a year ago. "Seeing the neighborhood progress made me want to move downtown," said Oh, "And now I just get up and walk across the street to work. I spend all day down here."

| | Auto Court’ ensures hassle-free travel in Kerala district | | 2008-01-04 06:57:00 | | The men on wheels at a small town in Kerala's northern district of Kannur are out to change that perception. They have set up an Auto Court to ensure a hassle-free journey to the passengers.The passengers can take their complaints against the drivers to the court. If they are found genuine, the court punishes the errant driver. The court is an offshoot of the Auto Drivers Coordination Committee set up to protect the interest of the passengers as well as the auto drivers.The committee consisting of trade unions affiliated to both the ruling and opposition parties had been engaged in settling the disputes between the drivers and passengers for the last two years.The ‘Auto Court’ has no judicial powers. Yet its verdicts are accepted by both the auto drivers as well as the passengers. The result is a steep fall in the number of complaints involving auto rickshaws, except those concerning accidents.“We were flooded with complaints about service and fares before the court started functioning. Now there are hardly any such complaints", says K.V. Chandran, an office-bearer of the Auto Drivers Coordination Committee.The Auto Court is functioning like normal courts, hearing both sides and pronouncing punishment according to the degree of the ‘crime’. It meets every Saturday. The sittings are led by the office bearers of the committee.Suspension from the operating service is the main punishment for minor crimes like overcharging and refusal to take the passengers to their desired destination. Drunken driving invites a month's suspension. Misbehaviour is punished with a heavy fine and licence confiscation.The self-regulatory mechanism has got the support of 1,500 auto drivers operating in the Payyannur Municipal area. Each driver is allotted an identity card and a number, which are recognised by police and the Motor Vehicles Department.The auto drivers display the card on their vehicle to enable the passengers to identify the ‘black sheep’. The system has eased | | By: Most Popular Tourist Places | | |

| | Dispute Resolution: When Parents and School District Disagree | | 2007-12-13 10:50:00 | | Some of the work I do in special education law focuses on dispute resolution. Special ed law is new law. Lawyers generally consider anything that came over on the boat from England to be old law; everything else is new. Laws that came into existence in the 1970's are brand new. Lawyers are more comfortable with old law like contracts and property, where there is often a settled "hornbook" answer, and they can advise their clients with relative certainty. So many lawyers are very uncomfortable with special ed issues.To make matters worse, the procedural rules are strange to seasoned attorneys. In most areas of the law, the aggrieved party must pick a forum. In special ed, however, it is possible for an aggrieved party to pursue four different dispute resolution mechanisms- and this is before going to court. Needless to say, this is very frustrating to lawyers who dislike ambiguity. In special ed law, the party who disagrees, usually but not always the parent, has four options which may or may not be used in combination. States must make mediation available for such disputes. Since the 2004 amendments, mediation must be available at any point in the process. My view is that mediation is better suited to repairing the long-term relationship of the parties than the other options if the state properly trains, supports and compensates the mediators. The second option is a state complaint in which any entity (including an advocacy group or an out of state non-profit or a parent) can allege a violation of the Act. The state department of education personnel investigate the claim. These procedures vary widely and the quality of the investigations also varies. If a violation is found, the state may impose corrective actions, which now include the possibility of compensatory ed and reimbursement. The third option is a due process hearing. This is an administrative hearing which closely resembles a trial in court, except that the rules of evidence are more relaxed | | By: Special education Law | | |
