Document revised on 11-05-2018


This year, Kesha released her fifth studio album, the experimental and surprising ‘Gag Order’. Released under the umbrella of Kemosabe Records, Dr. Luke’s label, a subsidiary of Sony Music, ‘Gag Order’ was the last project that contractually linked Kesha Rose to the producer whom she has accused of sexual and psychological abuse.
The contract finally ended last week, a source confirms to Variety, indicating that Kesha’s departure has been “amicable.” Kesha has worked with Kemosabe, RCA Records and Vector Management. Her separation from Dr. Luke is now a fact.
Last June, Kesha and Dr. Luke reached a legal settlement, ending a decade of accusations and counteraccusations. In a joint statement, Kesha wrote that “only God knows what happened that night,” and Dr. Luke said “I am sure nothing happened.”

Internet Governance 2015: Brazil and Beyond
2015 continues to be a decisive year for Internet governance. As in 2014 with the passage of Marco Civil and the NETmundial Meeting, Brazil is again in the focus of this year’s developments as the tenth meeting of the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) will convene in João Pessoa in November. Titled “Evolution of Internet Governance: Empowering Sustainable Development,” in anticipation of this year’s IGF, human rights advocates have already begun to ask whether Brazil’s approach to internet governance might serve as a model for the rest of the world.
Brazil 2014: Marco Civil and NETmundial
In April 2014, a Global Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance, also known as NETmundial, was hosted by the Brazilian government in São Paulo. NETmundial brought together over nine hundred attendees from governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society and resulted in the adoption of a (non-binding) Internet Governance Roadmap. Following the meeting, a number of pieces reviewed and commented on NETmundial’s outcome and final documents. The Center for Global Communication’s Internet Policy Observatory, for example, published Beyond NETmundial: The Roadmap for Institutional Improvements to the Global Internet Governance Ecosystem to explore how sections of “NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement” could be implemented. The meeting also played host to a series diverging narratives not only between governments, States, and civil society, but also among various civil society actors.
Symbolically, on the first day of NETmundial, President Rousseff signed into law the Marco Civil da Internet – a law which many see as a benchmark for a modern, freedom-oriented approach to internet regulation. The Marco Civil was developed through a consultation process which included the participation of civil society, and discussions and debates over online platforms. The legislation provides general safeguards for the rights to freedom of expression and privacy, as well as a guarantee of net neutrality. One much applauded provision of the law is that service providers do not hold liability for content. Providers have no responsibility for users’ actions, and there are only sanctions against providers if they do not fulfill court orders to remove content. The law also contains an obligation to adopt a multistakeholder model of internet governance at all levels.
The NETmundial meeting was criticized by some states, including Saudi-Arabia, for its lack of transparency and for not being held under the auspices of the United Nations. According to this position, meetings should be held in the Economic and Social Council or other United Nations bodies (which could be read as a support for ITU activities in internet governance).
UN Special Rapporteur on “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age”
Following NETmundial, Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff and German chancellor Angela Merkel co-sponsored a resolution on the right to privacy in the digital age. This resolution passed the UN General Assembly’s human rights committee by consensus in November 2014. The draft builds on Resolution 68/167, the predecessor text also co-sponsored by Brazil and Germany and submitted to the General Assembly in December 2013. While the 2013 resolution was supported by fifty-five countries, the recent resolution was co-sponsored by sixty-five countries.
The new resolution calls upon Member States to review their procedures, practices, and legislation on the surveillance of communications (including the interception and collection of personal data) with the goal of upholding the right to privacy and all relevant obligations under international human rights law.
The new resolution explicitly mentions metadata in the context of digital surveillance and reaffirms the responsibility of private parties to respect human rights when dealing with personal data. The law concludes that States are also obligated to respect human rights when they use private companies for surveillance purposes. Although they are non-binding, such resolutions could carry significant moral and political weight if they are supported by enough states.
In March 2015, during its 28th Session, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights presented a summary of the Human Rights Council panel discussion on the right to privacy in the digital age (A/HRC/28/39) and the Human Rights Council adopted HRC 28/16, the establishment of a new UN Special Rapporteur on “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age.” This development is a direct follow-up to the UN General Assembly Resolution 69/166 from December 2014, led by Germany and Brazil, which asked the Council to consider the creation of such a mandate.
In July 2015, at its 29th session, the UNHRC appointed Joseph Cannataci as the first UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Privacy. Cannataci is chair of European Information Policy and Technology Law at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands and Head of the Department of Information Policy & Governance at the Faculty of Media & Knowledge Sciences of the University of Malta.
The 10th Annual IGF Meeting entitled “Evolution of Internet Governance: Empowering Sustainable Development” will take place in João Pessoa, Brazil from November 10-13, 2015. The overarching IGF theme will be supported by eight sub-themes: Cybersecurity and Trust; Internet Economy; Inclusiveness and Diversity; Openness; Enhancing Multistakeholder Cooperation; Internet and Human Rights; Critical Internet Resources; and Emerging Issues. The current and continuously updated schedule can be accessed from the IGF website.
As it approaches its tenth year, the IGF seems to have lost some of its momentum. Host countries for the annual meetings are increasingly difficult to find, and some host countries are known for restrictive approaches to media freedom. Several civil society organizations decided to boycott the 2014 meeting because of these implicit contradictions. At the same time, there are various parallel initiatives that can be seen as competition for the IGF, inter alia the 2012 ITU WCIT, the 2014 NETmundial, or the 2011 Internet Freedom Coalition.
The IGF mandate was initially only five years, but was renewed for another five years in 2010. The 2015 Annual Meeting in Brazil could be the last of a series. What does the future hold for the IGF? Participants at the 2014 Istanbul meeting petitioned to ask the UN General Assembly to prolong the IGF’s mandate for an indefinite term. A decision, however, will only be made during a two-day high-level meeting of the General Assembly in December 2015 after the Brazil IGF in November. In its July 2014 resolution (A/RES/68/302), the 68th UN General Assembly laid out the procedures of the review process, to which representatives of all relevant stakeholders of the World Summit on the Information Society will be invited. The resolution requested the President of the General Assembly to, in June 2015, appoint facilitators to lead an intergovernmental negotiation process in order to create an intergovernmental outcome document for adoption at the high-level meeting of the General Assembly.
The IGF is also backed, among others, by a number of European institutions and organizations. In a joint motion from February 2015, the European Parliament, among other groups, called on the UN General Assembly to renew the mandate of the IGF and strengthen its resources. It also called for the strengthening of the multistakeholder model of internet governance, although the IGF will not adopt formal conclusions.
The European Commission, in February 2014, described a ‘principles based approach’ to the ‘cooperative governance framework,’ including stakeholder engagement to strengthen the IGF as a sustainable model. The Council of Europe Committee of Ministers supports and calls for the UN General Assembly to extend the mandate of the IGF for ten years until 2025. The Committee of Ministers also calls on the multistakeholder community to actively engage in the preparation of the IGF and to provide financial contributions to ensure its long-term financial stability.
ICANN supports the IGF
ICANN’s President and CEO Fadi Chehadé views NETmundial as an extracurricular activity unrelated to ICANN’s core pursuits. During ICANN’s Board Meeting in Singapore, Chehadé said:
There is a sense sometimes that the NETmundial platform replaces the Internet Governance Forum or competes with it. Let me be superbly clear that these are completely complementary activities. They have absolutely no overlap. The IGF is a forum for meetings and for people to get together. NETmundial will not do any more meetings like Sao Paulo. It is not a meeting forum. It is a place, a place where people will come after having discussed things, I hope, at the IGF, and maybe agree to coalesce and start building policy models, solutions, other things that people can voluntarily consume. NETmundial is not a binding body in any way. It is simply a platform, a place to work. We support the IGF. ICANN supports the IGF.
This comes at a time when the stewardship of some ICANN functions, i.e., the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), will be transitioned from the U.S. government to the global multistakeholder community. While IANA functions will continue to be administered by ICANN, oversight will be shifted away from the U.S. Department of Commerce. In spite of an initial September 30, 2015 deadline, the transition is not yet complete. The U.S. National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA) recently announced that IANA’s contract with ICANN was extended for one year to September 2016 and that beyond 2016, there is an option to extend the contract for up to three additional years if necessary.
Internet Governance 2015 and Beyond
Overall, the remainder of 2015 promises to be an important and decisive year for the future of the global approach to internet governance. Once more, Brazil will be at the center of events with the IGF in November 2015. After this meeting, the UN General Assembly Meeting in December will decide about the future of the IGF – with the odds in favor of the mandate’s further expansion.

THE HEARTLAND INSTITUTE’S 34TH ANNIVERSARY BENEFIT DINNER
Keynote Speaker: Andrew Napolitano | Master of Ceremonies: Joe Walsh
On Friday, October 26, 2018, The Heartland Institute will celebrate its 34th Anniversary with a reception and dinner with speakers at The Cotillion, a fine banquet hall in Palatine, Illinois.
This year’s featured speaker will be Judge Andrew P. Napolitano.
The theme of the event is The Constitution and Human Freedom. This topic will echo and exemplify Heartland’s stance on freedom for everyone and an in-depth look at the constitution’s promise to deliver freedom. Which is why we’re thrilled nationally syndicated radio host and AM560’s own Joe Walsh is our master of ceremonies.
Judge Napolitano tenaciously defends the natural law freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. Famous for his candid remarks, signature wit, and personal anecdotes, Judge Napolitano is the American media’s most outspoken analyst of the legal system, most fervent critic of government intervention into personal lives and commercial transactions and most passionate defender of the Constitution.

About the Court
The public is excluded from Youth Court, the proceedings are civil, and the court has a wide range of possible options in dealing with those youth who enter its doors. Appeals are to the Supreme Court.
Jackson County Youth Court has numerous programs aimed at helping families and childrenof Jackson County. Programs include but are not limited to Jackson County Juvenile Drug Court and Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program.
Like the Justice, Municipal, and County Courts, the Family and Youth Courts are of limited jurisdiction, but all are busy, vital to the justice system, and in need of cooperation and support of all officials and branches of government.

Refund of excess charges for those in workplaces represented by Oregon Education Association
If you object to the Oregon Education Association (OEA) overcharging you for workplace representation, you may choose to opt out of those charges.
Each year, the OEA and its affiliates charge teachers about $900 in union dues and fees. However, much of the union’s budget goes towards political activity and other causes that are unrelated to workplace representation.
While state law allows teachers to be required to pay certain union fees, U.S. Supreme Court decisions have long established that unions are not allowed to charge teachers for “the support of an ideological cause [they] may oppose as a condition of holding a job as a public school teacher” (Abood v. Detroit Board of Education 431 U.S. 209 (1977)).
In other words, teachers can only be required to pay for their union’s representational activity, not its political and ideological expenses.
To become an agency fee payer, complete the form below and mail it to the address provided.
As a result of these decisions, any teacher has a constitutional right to become an “agency fee payer” by resigning formal union membership and paying a reduced workplace representation fee, which is less than full union membership dues.
An annual calculation by the OEA determines what portion of its budget is spent on legitimate workplace activity, like negotiating a contract and processing grievances, and what portion is “nonchargeable,” or refundable to agency fee payers. The Supreme Court has required unions to provide this calculation to agency fee payers and explain the purposes for any fees it collects from them (Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, 475 U.S. 292, (1986)).
The OEA’s most recent calculation of how much of your dues it spends on legitimate workplace representation and how much it spends on extraneous “nonchargeable” purposes is available here.
Pages three and four reveal:
- 58.55 percent of your total NEA dues are refundable; and
- 28.55 percent of your total OEA dues are refundable.
In addition, some portion of your UniServ and local dues are also spent on activities unrelated to workplace representation and are refundable.
The total refund of overcharges from all levels of the union can range from $250 to $350.
If you object to the OEA’s overcharges and would rather make your own decisions about how your money is spent, then you may become an agency fee payer by requesting to pay the reduced workplace representation fee.
The union will still represent you in collective bargaining, contract management and grievance processing, but you will no longer have to contribute to causes unrelated to workplace representation.


The attorneys at the Law Offices of Christopher Zander & Associates are domestic violence defense attorneys servicing the areas of Orange County, San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
A charge of domestic violence is a serious matter. It can upset your life and cause severe emotional turmoil to yourself and your family.

FIGHTING A CHARGE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
There are always two sides to any story. Unfortunately, because of political issues that sometimes impact how officials and legislators choose to react to a problem, men and occasionally women, are often treated as if they are presumed guilty in domestic violence cases. That is why our attorneys investigate what happened by talking to eyewitnesses, checking emergency room records, and requesting medical records to see if the alleged victim has a history of psychological problems or drug and alcohol abuse. We also provide a context for what happened, especially in cases where our client acted in self-defense or was also assaulted and battered.
HOW RESTRAINING ORDERS CAN COMPLICATE YOUR LIFE
Many domestic violence victims take out a restraining order against their alleged attacker. If a restraining order is issued against you, attending the hearing to determine if it should be extended and for how long is crucial. At the hearing, you can provide evidence, your own testimony, and witness testimony to prove your case. If a restraining order is issued, you will have to turn in any guns you own, you may have to vacate your house or apartment if you share it with the alleged victim, and additionally may be ordered to avoid all contact with the alleged victim. Furthermore, you may be denied visitation or custody rights of your children.
In many cases, our attorneys can help you fight restraining orders that are intended to punish or complicate the life of an ex-mate or ex-spouse. We have the resources needed to investigate questionable allegations and expose groundless accusations.
EXPERIENCE BREEDS RESULTS

Indianapolis City Council Expresses Support
On Monday, April 14, 2003, the Indianapolis City Council passed a resolution expressing regret to the management and staff of the Indianapolis Training Center (ITC) for any embarrassment and financial loss resulting from the false allegations against it.
The Council acknowledged the good work that the staff members of the training center have done for Marion County juveniles at no cost to the taxpayers. The resolution also encourages officials to again consider referring troubled juveniles to the training center.
In May 2002, the Indiana Department of Social Services cleared the ITC of all allegations, saying that the charges were false, unsubstantiated, and unfounded. Staff members at the ITC continue to be willing and able to work with families and troubled youth by helping them understand basic Biblical principles of life that are beneficial in resolving personal and interpersonal conflicts.
The Indianapolis Training Center, formerly a Stouffer Hotel, was purchased by the Institute in November of 1992. Former Mayor Stephen Goldsmith invited the Institute to come and work with troubled youth in the city of Indianapolis.
Since opening, the ITC has worked with juvenile offenders from across the United States and has also provided training to thousands of young people and parents in counseling, music, culinary arts, and many other specialized courses.


A car accident is a hectic and troubling experience for all people. It brings damage to an individual’s body, car, and mind. Thus, it takes them significant time and effort to recover from the incident.
In such scenarios, it becomes arduous for them to deal with the person responsible for the accident. However, personal injury attorneys Miami FL are here to save the day as these incidents fall under their expertise. The lawyers have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the legal aspects of accidents and their aftermaths. Thus, they can take on the cases and protect their client’s rights. In other words, they can aid in winning the proceedings and getting compensation for all the damages received.
Let us discuss how a car accident lawyer or a personal injury attorney Miami can protect their client’s legal rights.
Once a car accident attorney takes on a particular case, they begin by investigating the details of the car crash or collision. It implies that they gather various types and kinds of evidence. It can consist of witness testimonies, accident reports, medical documents of the victim, and photographs proving the damages to the car. The lawyers may even speak to the police officers who had remained on the site if required.
The injury lawyers Miami do so to prove that the accident resulted from the negligent or intentional actions of the other party. In other words, they try to establish that the clients are faultless. Instead, they were the victims. Generally, car accident attorneys prove so using video footage, eyewitness statements, and various documents showing the adverse effects of the car crash.
Such an approach helps prevent or eliminate scenarios where the victims need to pay or compensate for the received damages. Otherwise, the verdict can infringe on their rights. Thus, the lawyers try to create situations where the perpetrators must compensate for the accident and injuries of the victim.
Hence, car accident attorneys help their clients get an appropriate and fair settlement for their suffering, lost wages, and medical bills. They also do so for a car’s diminished value, Florida after the accident.
Insurance Company Talks
All car accidents remain linked with insurance companies. Thus, the victims need to talk to them and get the appropriate claims for the damages to their cars. However, the process is exceedingly complex. In addition, the lack of knowledge possessed by ordinary people can get them tricked in some cases.
In such instances, a car accident attorney Miami can represent their client and correspond with the insurance companies. It reduces all chances and possibilities of less or unfair insurance payments or other risk factors.
Conventionally, the two parties involved in a car accident aim to settle the case between themselves without the court’s interference. In such cases, the job and role of negotiating and determining the compensation amount generally lie with the car accident attorney.
The settlement may aid in compensating for medical bills, mental suffering, property damage, lost wages, and any future care needs. The lawyer engages in a detailed talk with the other party and discusses the terms and relevant details. They try to turn the session in their favor by presenting the collected evidence and the required areas of reimbursement.
Thus, car accident attorneys strive to prevent scenarios where the victims do not get the appropriate settlement amount they deserve. They negotiate the terms to ensure it. On top of that, these lawyers can protect their clients from debt collectors. The latter may come into the picture owing to the consequences of the car crash damages and injuries.
