Pearl Jam Plays ‘Angel’ For The First Time In Over 20 Years In Telluride [Watch]
After a much-hyped spring tour that saw Pearl Jam play a handful of their albums and tons of great performances, the rock and roll band hit the road again last night with a performance at the Ride Festival in Telluride, CO. Their headlining set was something to behold, chock full of amazing highlights throughout the performance.Among said highlights was the first performance of their song “Angel,” which had not been played since March of 1994. The band shouted out to former drummer Dave Abbruzzese, who wrote the song “Angel.” The show also saw the band debut “Society,” a track from Eddie Vedder’s Into The Wild album, after mentioning that a fan requested it just before they performed. How’s that for a band who loves their fans?Watch “Angel” below, courtesy of YouTube user rb1229.The band had some fun in their set, bringing out Pearl Jam karaoke contest winners to sing “Daughter” and concluding their main set with the hit “Better Man.” The bust outs were far from over, however, as they played their second-ever rendition of “Santa Cruz,” and the first since 2010. After bringing out Tom Petty and Pink Floyd covers in the encore, the band closed it out with two familiar rockers, “Alive” and “Yellow Ledbetter.”What a show!

September 1, 2000 Associate Editor Regular News The committee said in In Concerned Democrats of Florida v. Reno, 358 F.Supp. 60 (S.D. Fla. 1978), the court struck down F.S. §105.09, which prohibited a political party from supporting, endorsing, or assisting any judicial candidate. “Pursuant to Reno, this committee operates upon the assumption that a political party has the constitutional right to support non-partisan judicial candidates,” the panel said. “Nevertheless, this committee has not hesitated to note that the Code of Judicial Conduct places rather tight strictures upon a candidate’s right to publicly represent, as part of a judicial campaign, the candidate’s experience with, and connections to, a political party.” Such analysis appears in Opinion 96-21, in which the panel said, notwithstanding the Reno decision, “Florida is firmly committed to the ideal that insofar as the activities of judicial candidates themselves are concerned, partisan politics will play no role whatsoever in campaigns.” The committee also said in Opinion Number 2000-16 that a judicial candidate may not host a weekly radio talk show during the election season, with some narrow exceptions. The inquiring judicial candidate is presently a member of the Florida Legislature and his term as a legislator will end on November 5. The candidate has a radio talk show that he characterizes as “informative in nature.” He selects a topic and has guests on his show who are experts in the field. The show accepts phone calls from the general public and the host, as well as the guests, comments on the topic. The committee said the question of whether a judge may appear as a commentator on a commercial television station was thoroughly surveyed in Opinion 96-25 and the analysis for a radio show would be no different. In that case, the committee looked at ethics opinions from around the United States and concluded that a judge’s appearance as a regular commentator on the commercial airwaves would violate the Code of Judicial Conduct if the subject matter covered by the judge focuses upon current legal matters and cases pending before various courts. “There would appear to be no prohibition, however, against a candidate for office hosting a show that is in the nature of a political advertisement, so long as the candidate otherwise observes the requirements of the Code of Judicial Conduct and the Florida election laws,” the committee said. The candidate next asked, if he is successful in his election, may he participate in partisan political activities between the election and his assumption of the bench. This committee recently answered the same question in the negative in Opinion 98-25. In that opinion, the committee stated: “A judge-elect is bound by the political restrictions in the Code of Judicial Conduct and should comply with the restrictions applicable to a sitting judge who is not a candidate.” The committee said Canon 7(1)(b) prohibits a judge or a candidate for election from publicly endorsing or publicly opposing another candidate for political office. Public Service Announcements The committee held a judge may not appear in a public service announcement, even if it does not solicit volunteers or donations, for local not-for-profit organizations. Opinion Number 2000-16. The inquiring judge said she would like to do public service announcements only to advise the public of the existence of such organizations and the projects these organizations run. The committee, however, said doing so would violate Canon 2B, which states “A judge shall not lend the prestige of judicial office to advance the private interests of … others.” The panel held that although there is no direct solicitation of funds or membership on these taped public service announcements, the judge’s testimonial in the video “is at the very least tacitly lending the prestige of the judge’s office to advance the solicitation of funds and/or membership.” “Further, this committee notes that the inquiring judge has not stated whether these public service announcements will or will not be used in any future solicitation of funds and/or members by the not-for-profit organizations,” the panel said. “However, it seems that the potential for such uses would be likely.” The Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee is expressly charged with rendering advisory opinions interpreting the application of the Code of Judicial Conduct to specific circumstances confronting or affecting a judge or judicial candidate. Its opinions are advisory and conduct that is consistent with an opinion may be evidence of good faith on the part of the judge, but the Judicial Qualifications Commission is not bound by the committee’s interpretive opinions. The full text of the committee’s opinions is available on the Supreme Court’s website. Judicial candidates should steer clear of partisan politics Mark D. Killian Associate Editor While political parties are free to endorse judicial candidates, those running for judgeships must be careful not to inject party politics into the campaign, according to the Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee. The ethics panel also said a judge-elect may not participate in nonjudicial campaigns before he is sworn in and — with only narrow exceptions — cannot host a weekly radio talk show during the election season. Judges also are prohibited from appearing in public service announcements because to do so would lend the prestige of their office to benefit others. Party Endorsements The committee said while political parties are free to support the candidacy of a judicial candidate, the candidates must be careful about using that endorsement. Opinion Number 2000-16.

2SHARESShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr Why your CU should care about the IRA rollover rule change.by: Dennis ZuehlkeThe IRS has changed its position on the one-per-12-month individual retirement account (IRA) rollover rule.Starting in 2015, it’s “one and done”—the IRS limits people to one rollover in a 12-month span, no matter how many IRA accounts they own. They may continue to make unlimited trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers, a valuable alternative discussed later in this article.This change comes on the heels of a U.S. Tax Court ruling last year in Bobrow v. Commissioner limiting individuals to one IRA rollover per 12-month period.This ruling sent up red flags in the industry because it conflicted with the longstanding IRS position on the rollover rule. The IRS had, for more than 30 years, based its position on a proposed Treasury regulation (Prop. Treas. Reg. 1.408-4(b)(4)(ii)—yes, a regulation that remained in the proposed stage for more than three decades— that generally permitted a taxpayer to roll over each IRA he or she owned once per 12-month period.The IRS provided detailed examples supporting this interpretation in Publication 590, “Individual Retirement Arrangements,” a reliable resource for taxpayers and tax advisers for years. continue reading »

Two openly gay Black candidates are on track to win seats in the US Congress, a first for the nation that illustrates a “generation shift” in US politics, experts and advocates said on Wednesday.Following New York state’s Democratic primary contest on Tuesday, attorney Mondaire Jones had 45% of the vote in one suburban race and City Councilman Ritchie Torres was well ahead of rivals for a New York City seat as of late Wednesday.If elected, they would be the first openly gay Black men in Congress, part of a record number of LGBT+ candidates this year, according to the Victory Fund, a political advocacy group which endorsed and funded both of them. Topics : Elsewhere in New York, progressive Jamaal Bowman was on track to defeat long-time Rep. Eliot Engel, while firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won a resounding reelection victory, part of what pundits said could be a left-wing turn for the country.”The national implications of what occurred in New York are very significant,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a veteran political consultant and strategist who has worked with prominent Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton.“This is a generation shift in American politics,” he said, adding that senior Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have to make room for the young and increasingly influential left wing of the party.Jones was well ahead of seven other candidates in the contest to represent New York City’s suburbs to the north, a seat opening up with the retirement of Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey after 16 terms in office.Torres also topped a crowded field seeking an open seat in the city’s South Bronx being vacated by retiring Rep. Jose Serrano.Torres came in well ahead of another candidate, Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr., who has built a reputation for making anti-LGBT+ comments and opposing same-sex marriage.Kentucky and Virginia also held primary elections on Tuesday to choose the Democratic and Republican nominees who will compete for Congressional seats in November.
More than 850 gay and trans people are on ballots across the country this year, it said.”In (the midterms in) 2018, we talked about the rainbow wave. Now we’re going to talk about the rainbow tsunami,” said former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, head of the Victory Fund.Both candidates still face Republican opponents in November, but both districts are heavily and historically Democratic and their victories are widely expected.Primary results were not yet official as absentee ballots have yet to be counted.
