Still a bunch of open slots. Volunteer before they are gone.

The incident took place not in Newark, the State's largest city, but rather in the NJ State Capitol, Trenton, 50 miles to the southwest of Newark. As others have posted, the incident was related to a gang dispute, and immediately followed several instances of persons engaging in fights. Shooting incidents are sadly common in Trenton. The person who died was shot by police, and had not only an illegal type of gun but had been released a few months ago from prison after incarceration for many years after conviction of murder and other crimes.

Not too many questions. In the USA, an entity registers the desired trademark with the federal administrative agency that administers the trademark process. That's the short answer. Here are the details, probably a lot more than most would want to know, at the federal government agency's site: https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks-getting-started/trademark-basics

I strongly suspect that the Disney lawsuit was based primarily on trademark, not copyright. Those are two different things. In the USA, unlike copyright, trademarks are of unlimited duration and can be lost by the trademark owner failing to enforce its rights. A classic law school example of this is the trampoline, i.e., the jumping device. "Trampoline" was the trademark of the original manufacturer and marketer of the device and others eventually began to use the term trampoline for their similar products. The trampoline trademark owner failed to take legal action for a long time and when it finally did litigate, was found by the courts to have lost the trademark due to inaction.

Dave, (and BEX) thanks for the heads up. :-) Just booked it. 12 places left. ---Ken

Why, the "George R.R. Martini" of course. George's theater in Santa Fe, NM won the best Cocktail of the Year for 2018.   :-)  

Advice from the State of New Jersey Department of Banking & Insurance, the state regulator. http://www.state.nj.us/dobi/division_consumers/finance/consumeralert_servicecharge.htm

Suggest that your CV reference state something along the lines of "Translated Chapters x,y, z in [name of publication] to expedite the work for the primary translator." Retain any proof of your efforts in the event a potential client or employer asks for additional details.

>>>" Klan targets were bootleggers, wife-beaters, and immoral movies. "<<< As well as blacks, Roman Catholics and Jews. Conveniently omitted the primary targets. My mother once told me she remembered seeing the hooded Klan march in the Memorial Day Parade in Bayonne, New Jersey around the mid-1920s when she was a little girl of about 7. Scared the heck out of her and probably most of the other kids.

She said to me: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. I'm not Hal and we're not in space."

Interesting question. Without researching, this is how I would answer: Double jeopardy attaches when a defendant is tried for a crime by the judiciary, and in the case of more serious crimes with the right to demand a jury trial. Therefore, I opine that it is not double jeopardy, and an official removed from office by the impeachment process would be susceptible to indictment by a grand jury and trial before judge and jury. That said, with precedent of any sort lacking in the USA, I would expect the question to be decided by the US Supreme Court after indictment but before trial.

Lurk ---> post. Great! Welcome!

If the reports of April next year as the commencement of the final season are correct, about 40% of the wait has already elapsed. So it's getting closer by the day . . . Less than a year to go.

Lots of information about fandom, cons, etc. on that growing site.
