I want to personally write the introduction to stress my support for the USA Bulletin and its mission. Good ideas are essential for skill development for even our most experienced and able practitioners. A key approach that sets the best professionals apart from their peers is that the best never stop learning. They remain as determined to improve in their sixties as they were in their twenties. This publication is a great tool to help all learn and improve. It engenders excellence and increased productivity. It shares proven ideas and techniques. I want to ensure that our Department empowers and encourages you to seek excellence and increased productivity. We want to give you guidance on policy, and we want to unleash your creativity and energy. This is the way you will be most fulfilled in your work and the way the goals of the DOJ will be best met. To paraphrase Churchill’s question, “And what is our policy?” For us, the answer is clear. We will use all our resources, personnel, training, skills, and passion to make America a better, more honorable, safer, and more prosperous place. It is not just how many we prosecute and precisely how much time the convicted receive (though these are very important matters), we want to use all our resources and efforts to reduce crime in America. This “USA Bulletin” provides timely information that covers critical issues such as electronically stored evidence, alien smuggling, criminal discovery, the dark web, victim’s rights, and trial techniques, among other issues. The writers give updates on legal, technological, and legislative changes that will surely benefit all. My thanks are extended to the editors and writers for their hard work in producing these valuable insights. I am a strong supporter of this periodical.

Christensen Chief, Computer Crimes and Intellectual Property Section United States Attorney’s Office Central District of California I. Introduction Increasingly, mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers play a critical role in everyday life. Mobile devices can contain evidence of communications through email, text message, instant message, and social networking applications. They can contain bank account records, consumer data, health and fitness records, photographs, videos, and evidence of internet activity. This is true for criminals as well as law-abiding citizens, which means that mobile devices can hold a treasure trove of evidence for law enforcement. Because mobile devices expose so much sensitive and personal data, securing these devices from unwanted intrusion has become a big issue for consumers and companies manufacturing the devices. New security features, designed to protect mobile device users from unlawful intrusion into their devices and data, also protect criminals from lawful, warranted searches. It is therefore critical that prosecutors are aware of these security features and understand how the technology and the law intersect. II. What Are “Biometrics” For years, cellphones have come equipped with a “passcode unlock” feature, requiring a user to type in a numeric or alpha numeric passcode to gain access to the device and the sensitive data inside. A “locked”

Can one teach empathy?

It is steeped in all the things I love. From the adventure stories of H. Rider Haggard, Jules Verne and Arthur Conan Doyle I took the long build-up to a fantastic element, made all the more amazing because the characters are immersed in the ‘real world’ for so much of the story. From the comics medium I dipped my pen into the European tradition of Hergé, Edgar P. Jacobs, Yves Chaland and the descendents of their ligne claire legacy, along with the strong sense of environment – a believable world – from Asterix and Tintin. Yet I wanted characters and a setting that were very strongly British, without being patriotic. Mixed into all this is my fondness for an involving and compelling plot, and artistic influences absorbed from a wealth of comic artists and illustrators, from Kay Neilsen to Bryan Talbot, and a simple love of history and adventure. No zombies, no bikini-clad gun-toting nubiles, and no teeth-gritting ... grittiness. Just a huge slice of pure adventure, made to go with a big mug of tea.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Professional Communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861
    OBJECTS OF CONFIDENCE AND CHOICE: PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITIES IN ALABAMA, 1804-1861 By THOMAS EDWARD REIDY JOSHUA D. ROTHMAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE C. RABLE LAWRENCE F. KOHL JOHN M. GIGGIE JENNIFER R. GREEN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 ! Copyright Thomas E. Reidy 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Objects of Confidence and Choice considered the centrality of professional communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861. The dissertation highlighted what it meant to be a professional, as well as what professionals meant to their communities. The study examined themes of education, family, wealth patterns, slaveholding, and identities. This project defined professionals as men with professional degrees or licenses to practice: doctors, clergymen, teachers, and others. Several men who appeared here have been widely studied: William Lowndes Yancey, Josiah Nott, J. Marion Sims, James Birney, Leroy Pope Walker, Clement Comer Clay, and his son Clement Claiborne Clay. Others are less familiar today, but were leaders of their towns and cities. Names were culled from various censuses and tax records, and put into a database that included age, marital status, children, real property, personal property, and slaveholding. In total, the database included 453 names. The study also mined a rich vein of primary source material from the very articulate professional community. Objects of Confidence and Choice indicated that professionals were not a social class but a community of institution builders. In order to refine this conclusion, a more targeted investigation of professionals in a single antebellum Alabama town will be needed.

George Orwell's dystopia, with the ever-watchful Big Brother, has seemingly become a reality with the recently passed amend- ments to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.2 Rule 41, governing searches and seizures, now permits magis- trate judges to authorize agents-under a single warrant-to "remotely access," and simultaneously search, copy and seize in- formation from an infinite number of unknown electronic devices in multiple districts anywhere in the country.' The unlimited ju- risdiction provision is triggered when a device's location is ob- scured through "technological means," or if agents are investigat- ing computer crimes in five or more districts4-regardless of whether the locations of the innumerable search targets are known.
