Alfred Hitchcock's Silent Films Brought To Life | Stuff.co.nz
[unable to retrieve full-text content]Alfred Hitchcock has gone down in movie history as a chatty fellow, the roguish filmmaker and droll TV host gleefully impersonated by Anthony Hopkins in last fall's "Hitchcock." But the British-born master of suspense began ...
Small one Owner Hotel- Bait and Switch in New Mexico
I recently reserved a hotel room online due to the website they have advertises newly renovated condos for $1500. I get there and the hotel was the exact opposite. It was missing part of the counter top, nails sticking up out of the floor, the outside door would not secure, electrical wire exposed, etc., I get there and refuse to stay there. The owner of the hotel said it should have not been rented out due to its condition. I go reserve a room at another hotel business down the way. I get back home to the state I live in and the owners wife refuses to refund my money, saying there are no cancellations. I have disputed it with my credit card. They are siding with the hotel since there contract says no cancellations. Is there anything I can do? I didnt just cancel to cancel. I did it because of safety issues. Now when I google there name on the computer, several people have experienced what I have. If it was a big hotel chain I could think of lots of people to call but this is a mom and pop thing. This is not right and they are misrepresenting themselves to the public.
?
Are there Hotel Boards or laws or anything that Mom and Pop Hotels have to answer to??

Alleged Wife-beater Can't Be Charged in CA for HI Assault - FindLaw
He called her a fat cow. She mentioned his past patronage of prostitutes. After some pushing, shoving, and scuffling, he punched her in the face, resulting in a detached retina and permanent loss of vision in the eye. She told the Hawaiian police that she had fallen. They returned from their vacation two days later.
They were married that fall, but with nuptials did not come bliss. Barely a year after they tied the knot, he became incensed at her regular tardiness in returning home from work. A verbal argument ensued. Soon thereafter, he was squeezing her throat until she lost consciousness. When she awoke, he threatened her adult sons, and then suffocated her again until she lost consciousness.
She came forward days later out of fear for her sons' safety.
Michael Fortner was charged with numerous domestic violence offenses, including charges related to the activities in Hawaii. The obvious question was: can he be charged in Monterey, California for conduct that occurred wholly in Hawaii?
The answer should be no, but because we?re lawyers, and all of us (understandably) hate wife-beaters, the District Attorney tried to find a way ? and the trial court agreed!
Criminal jurisdiction is relatively simple. The basic rule in California is that jurisdiction lies in the ?territory of which it is committed.? Common sense, right? There are three additional exceptions provided for by statute that create a sort of long-arm jurisdiction for very specific situations:
Section 27: where any part of the crime was committed in this state.
The criminal act supporting the Hawaii charges was the actual, single punch. That occurred in the hotel room in Hawaii. This section does not apply.
Section 778: where an offense commences outside of the state, but is consummated within the state, such as through the use of an agent.
The punch commenced in Hawaii. The prosecution tried to argue that the eye injury, and treatment, were the consummation, but the injury was a direct and immediate result of the punch. Section 778 does not support jurisdiction.
Section 778a: where a person, with intent to commit a crime, does more than a de minimis part of the crime in the state (prepares or consummates the crime in California).
Again, this doesn?t apply. The punch was not planned for in advance. The prosecution contended that he ?chose to exercise control over Jane Doe by verbal and physical abuse? and that he intended for the punch to affect her behavior once they returned to California. That argument stretches far beyond the statute and prior case precedent.
We applaud the effort, however.

LA Galaxy v Vancouver Whitecaps Preview
Attacking
After missing some games due to international duty Russell Teibert returns to the Whitecaps for the match against the Galaxy. It was the game against L.A. in early May that Teibert broke through with his two goal performance. Look for him to return to the right side where he will make his runs at the net as well as providing service to his teammates.
Due to international duty the Caps avoided having to deal with the scoring ability of Robbie Keane in the last match. The Irishman is an injury doubt for this one but if he plays, he will be LA's key player. In the three regular season trips to LA the striker has two goals and two assists against Vancouver. In his last four games this season Keane has two goals and four assists and has become more of a facilitator as he has almost matched his assist totals from last year.
Defence
After a couple of average outings and an extended break from an Eastern trip, Y.P. Lee regained the form that is expected from the world class player. There wasn't a player from the Fire that could break him down defensively and he got forward for a couple of chances. With Teibert returning from the national team, the two will look to pick up where they left off in late June.
Another key player who was missing from their first matchup this season was left back Todd Dunivant who has been dealing with a couple of injuries. The 2003 first round pick is a solid defender being named to the best XI of 2011 and a three time winner of the MLS Cup. He is also a threat going forward where he is able to send in some good crosses and make dangerous runs into the box.
WHO?S ON FORM
After an off game against Seattle, Camilo returned back to form with two great individual plays that led to his brace. In his last nine games the Brazilian has scored ten times and assisted on three others and he is now in the top spot for the Golden Boot race. He has already matched his totals from 2011 when he led the team in goals and has done it in half the games played.
Normally a provider, central midfielder Marcelo Sarvas has become a goal scorer of late with three goals in his last four starts. It has moved him to become the second in the team for scoring and has also doubled his totals from last season.
PROJECTED LINEUP
Vancouver Whitecaps (4-3-3) Brad Knighton; Lee Young-Pyo, Brad Rusin, Johnny Leveron, Jordan Harvey; Jun Marques Davidson, Gershon Koffie, Nigel Reo-Coker; Russell Teibert, Kenny Miller, Camilo Sanvezzo
Los Angeles Galaxy (4-4-2) Carlo Cudicini; Sean Franklin, Omar Gonzalez, A.J. DeLaGarza, Todd Dunivant; Hector Jimenez, Juninho, Marcelo Sarvas, Robbie Rogers; Robbie Keane, Gyasi Zardes
2013 RECORD
Vancouver Whitecaps:
9W-5D-5L-32P
3rd in Western Conference
Last Match: 3-1 Win v Chicago Fire
Los Angeles:
9W-3D-8L-30P
5th in Western Conference
Last Match: 2-1 Loss at Portland Timbers
OVERVIEW
After a couple of games at home, Vancouver Whitecaps return to the road as they travel to Southern California to face Los Angeles Galaxy. This will be their second meeting of the season as the Caps, led by a Russell Teibert brace, finally beat the Galaxy 3-1 at B.C. Place.
Prior to that match the Caps had never beaten the 'cornerstone' franchise in MLS. In their three regular season trips to the newly named StubHub Center the Caps hadn't scored a goal before Darren Mattocks tallied one in their first round match of last year?s playoffs but the home win in May has led to a resurgence and new found self belief against teams like LA and away from home in general.
The Whitecaps will start Brad Knighton in goal once again. He was a few seconds away from picking up his third clean sheet in four matches last week before letting his anger show in conceding a stoppage time goal. The two full backs on the backline will be Lee Young-Pyo and Jordan Harvey. There had been a hope that Andy O?Brien would be fit enough to return but he is still not ready and Brad Rusin will continue to partner Johnny Leveron in the middle.
The midfield will remain the same. Jun Marques Davidson returns as the holding mid with Gershon Koffie and Nigel Reo-Coker in front of him. If fit, Russell Teibert should get straight back into the starting eleven and play alongside Camilo and Kenny Miller up front. The trio hope to quickly reform the dangerous attack force that they were before the Gold Cup.
The Galaxy have had a tough start to the season with the retirement of David Beckham and Landon Donovan missing for the beginning of the season but the biggest loss occurred when they traded Mike Magee after ten games. While they are one of the top scoring teams in MLS, since the trade of Magee for Rogers their totals have dropped.
In their first ten games the Galaxy had scored 17 goals while after the transaction they have scored 13 times in the same number of games. When it comes to points, the results have been the same as L.A. have picked up 13 of their 30 points after the trade.
While they are relatively healthy, the defending champs are without captain Landon Donovan, who is with the US on international duty for the Gold Cup. It was looking like their best defender Omar Gonzalez would also be away but unfortunately for the Caps, he has been allowed to stay behind for this match. Robbie Keane is also a serious injury concern after coming off last week amid concerned faces.
While the Whitecaps' previous form in LA will probably still see them going into this match as underdogs, they are one of the hottest teams in MLS, picking up 23 out of their last 30 points. Included in that run were two road wins against New York and D.C. United but they have yet to win one away from home in the West.
The Caps will attempt to keep their rise trending upwards in the Western Conference with another result against a tough team. Despite the struggles of L.A. this season they still have the champion's mentality as the defending MLS Cup holders so the Caps must carry their momentum on the road.

Collegiate Licensing Company confirms new college football deal with EA
Electronic Arts and the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), the agency that manages the licensing of college football programs, have signed a new agreement for EA's college football games, the CLC confirmed to Polygon today.
According to the CLC, the new contract with EA will take effect next July and run for three years. It gives EA the rights to use "more than 150 colleges, conferences and bowl games" in its college football video game series, said a representative for the CLC in an email to Polygon, confirming a Joystiq report from earlier today. There's no word yet on whether any schools have opted out of the new agreement. The agreement is non-exclusive because of the $27 million settlement in Pecover v. Electronic Arts, an antitrust lawsuit regarding EA's football games.
Earlier this week, the NCAA announced it would not renew its licensing agreement with EA; shortly afterward, EA and the CLC said they would continue to produce college football video games. EA's existing NCAA Football franchise will continue under a new name with a new game on next-generation consoles in 2014, even though the games will no longer include the name or logo of the NCAA. That makes this year's NCAA Football 14 the last game in the 20-year-old series to bear the "NCAA Football" branding.
We've reached out to EA and the CLC for more details on the agreement, and will update this article with any information we receive.
Update: A representative for the CLC declined to provide information on the financial terms of the agreement. In response to a question asking why the organization is continuing its relationship with EA when the NCAA is backing out because of legal troubles that all three groups share, the rep told Polygon, "There's no reason to discontinue the game, which has been, and is, in compliance with rules regulating college football.
"There's no reason to discontinue the game"
"Throughout its relationship with EA, CLC has made clear and will continue to make clear, that the participating collegiate institutions are not granting ? and have never granted ? any license or rights to utilize the name, face, image or likeness of any athlete, whether a current or former student athlete. The license granted is for use of the university's, or conference's or bowl's name, logo and other identifying marks.
"In the future, though the game would be marketed under another name, each school will continue to maintain all approval rights for its individual trademarks, stadiums, uniforms, mascots, traditions, and other school-specific indicia in the game. EA will continue to be required to develop games that are in compliance with all applicable NCAA rules as per requirements in the EA trademark license agreement."
