Remington Announces Thoroughbred Stakes Schedule
Posted on June 12, 2013 by American Racehorse
Remington Park's 25th anniversary rolls on in 2013 with the Oklahoma Derby, returned to graded status this season, leading the Thoroughbred season stakes schedule.
The Remington Park Thoroughbred season runs from Friday, August 16, through Sunday, December 15, and includes a 32-stakes race schedule worth nearly $3.4 million. The Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby is the top event of the season and leads a special Sunday, September 29, program worth well over $1 million in purses. The Oklahoma Derby Day card will also include the $200,000 Remington Park Oaks, $150,000 Remington Park Sprint Cup, $100,000 Remington Green Stakes and the first leg of the Remington Park 2-year-old stakes race triple, the $75,000 Kip Deville Stakes.
The Oklahoma Derby regains a Grade 3 ranking this year for the first time since 2004. Contested at 1 1/8 miles, this year marks the 25th running of the event, first won by Clever Trevor in 1989. Politicallycorrect scored the Oklahoma Derby in 2012.
The Remington Park season closes with 2-year-olds featured on Sunday, December 15. The $250,000 Springboard Mile is the top stakes offering for the freshmen runners. The Springboard caps the 2-year-old stakes racing triple that begins with the Kip Deville at six furlongs in September. The $100,000 Clever Trevor at seven furlongs on November 8 is next, then the Springboard as the finale. Texas Bling captured the 2012 Springboard at outlandish odds of 128-1.
A new Remington Park stakes event will debut on the final day of the season. The $100,000 Trapeze will be run for the first time, featuring 2-year-old fillies at one mile.
The Remington Park turf course will be utilized extensively while in its prime with eight stakes races. The $100,000 Remington Green Stakes on the Oklahoma Derby undercard is the top open company turf race of the season.
The Remington Park stakes slate begins with a pair of events on the second night of the season. The $175,000 Governor's Cup at 1 1/8 miles and the $75,000 David M. Vance Sprint at six furlongs will lead the card on Saturday, April 17.
The $1 million Oklahoma Classics, featuring eligible Oklahoma-breds in eight divisional stakes races, will be run Friday, October 18. The $175,000 Oklahoma Classics Cup, at 1 1/16 miles, is the top event of the evening. The $145,000 Distaff is second in the Classics pecking order at 1 mile and 70 yards for older fillies and mares. A quartet of $130,000 races including the Turf, Distaff Turf, Sprint and Distaff Sprint are also featured. The 2-year-olds round out the divisional Classics competition in the $100,000 Juvenile and $100,000 Lassie, for males then females respectively.
Overall, 16 of the 32 events on the stakes schedule are worth a purse of at least $100,000.
The Remington Park season will feature a 7 p.m. (Central) post time for the August evening race cards. The afternoon programs will begin at 1:30 p.m. including: Labor Day Monday, September 2; Oklahoma Derby Day, Sunday, September 29; Black Friday, November 29; and Springboard Mile Day, Sunday, December 15.
The first post for the Remington Park races on Breeders' Cup Saturday, November 2, will be earlier than the normal evening start. The beginning of that live program will be announced once the Breeders' Cup schedule has been set.

A jury trial in California has been allowed by the Court of Appeal.
Silicon Valley based company Integral Development Corporation has won an appeal against the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of EBS BrokerTec, Viral Tolat. The company was in a dispute last year, losing a District Court case.
According to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision, the CTO of EBS BrokerTec copied Integral course code to his own personal device. Furthermore the court states that Tolat attempted to cover up his actions.
The ruling also states that there is a possibility that some of the Palo Alto company's source code might have been used for the development of EBS Direct. The court cites evidence of damages to Integral's sales and equity valuation and has mandated a jury trial in California.
The misappropriation of trade secrets appeals case was filed in the middle of last year. EBS BrokerTec is a business of NEX Group plc which is an entity that was formed after the sale of ICAP plc's voice broking unit to Tullett Prebon.
The co-founder of Integral, Viral Tolat, left Integral at the beginning of 2013. The appeal reopens a matter that was considered closed back in 2014. Integral filed a case against Mr Tolat claiming that he had taken the Palo Alto source code and "other trade secrets" just before his move to EBS BrokerTec.
The case has been assigned to the District Court so that Tolat must face a trial on the merits.
The case is not in any way related to NEX Group, nor EBS Brokertec.
To date there is no factual statements made by any court that that the code has been used outside of Integral.

im trying to put up a music player on my myspace... i think its flashed based.
the web addy to the song i uploaded contains these charachters. how do i take care of this issue? thnx.
One familar example is a space, which converts to %20.
To the place where you uploaded the songs too, just make sure there's no spaces in the song name. Usually it uploads it like 02 Artist Song. Make it something like 02ArtistSong. Then it won't put the %20's in for URI.

Guest post by Nina Wolff pays tribute to long-standing GSA member Margaret Lieb.
Margaret (Peggy) Lieb died on March 8, 2018 in South Pasadena, California at the age of 94. After attending schools in New Rochelle, NY, she graduated magna cum laude from Smith College, and subsequently studied with H.J. Muller at Indiana University and with Francis Ryan at Columbia University, where she received her PhD degree. Following postdoctoral studies at Caltech in the laboratory of Max Delbruck, and in Paris at the Pasteur and Radium Institutes, Lieb taught at Brandeis University and then moved to the Medical School of the University of Southern California where she continued her research and teaching for 45 years. After her retirement, she continued to be active as an Emerita member of the faculty, and as a garden docent at the Huntington Museum and Botanical Garden.
While at Caltech, Lieb published one of the first studies of phage lambda, and subsequently isolated and characterized a large number of mutations in the repressor gene of the phage. Her studies of lysogenization indicated that the active repressor was a dimer, a conclusion later confirmed by biochemical studies in other laboratories. While mapping mutations in the lambda repressor gene, she observed that excess recombination (negative interference) was associated with mutations arising from the deamination of 5-methylcytosine. This led to the identification of a novel mismatch repair gene (vsr) in E. coli – a gene that is adjacent to the gene for cytosine methylase. The Vsr function reduces the probability of mutations that occur due to spontaneous deamination of 5meC. Although genes related to vsr appear to be limited to bacteria, the search for genes like vsr in eukaryotes, where 5-methycytosine has important regulatory functions, has led others to the discovery of additional specific repair activities in higher organisms.
In 1972-1973, Lieb served as Program Directory of the Genetic Biology program of the National Science Foundation. She was elected Chairman of the Virology Division of the ASM in 1975, and served on the editorial boards of Journal of Virology and GENE. She was a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Peggy Lieb maintained an active interest in the research of her colleagues, and will also be missed by the students and post-doctoral fellows who spent time in her lab. Her high standards of performance in the classroom and in the lab were challenging and also appreciated by those who knew her.

Culture Media Antibiotics To Prevent Infectious Bacteria
The most common and effective way to fight the bacteria responsible for causing infectious and contamination in culture media is to use culture media antibiotics to prevent infectious bacteria from growing in a controlled environment, such as a laboratory. When you include antibiotics used in people rather than in culture media, the lack of control of the development of drug-resistant bacteria has meant that a large number of superbugs have developed over the past 20 years that affect human beings.
Antibiotics can kill off the bacteria that cause contamination, but they have also been shown to be ineffective at preventing antibiotic resistant bacteria from developing. Because bacteria will simply evolve to combat any possible drug challenge they encounter, scientists need to find ways of providing culture media antibiotics to fight these bacteria and prevent them from developing drug-resistant forms.
Our Agents Work Overtime For You – Contact Us Today For More On Our Culture Media Antibiotics!
In laboratory tests using various strains of bacteria, scientists have discovered that culture media antibiotics are unable to kill all bacteria, and therefore, they must be used as part of a combination strategy to provide antibiotics to fight bacteria which are resistant to the drug. Although it is believed that bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics, the process of evolution has provided scientists with the knowledge required in the resistance to antibiotics. Although this may seem counter-intuitive, it means that once a certain population of bacteria has acquired a natural drug-resistance gene, it becomes harder for the new bacteria to develop, and therefore, the drug-resistance genes cannot spread further, and bacteria die out. This means that in order to ensure bacteria survive in the laboratory and develop into drug-resistant forms, the number of culture media antibiotics used must be increased to levels beyond what nature provides.
Another reason culture media antibiotics to prevent infectious bacteria in the laboratory are essential is that the use of antibiotics has already reduced the population of beneficial bacteria that fight contamination, and the reduction of such bacteria is known to increase the growth of harmful bacteria, increasing the risk of developing drug-resistant strains. Therefore, by increasing the amount of culture media antibiotics, it is hoped that the numbers of beneficial bacteria will rise, allowing more of them to evolve and develop into drug-resistant forms.
Please Contact Us Today To Avoid The Hassle Of Contamination Or To Select Genes Of Interest.
The use of culture media antibiotics in laboratory testing has led to a rapid growth in the number of drugs that are currently available for use in the United States, and these antibiotics have now been introduced into the culture media and can be used to provide antibiotics to fight contamination. Many of the commonly prescribed culture media antibiotics available on the market, such as Antibiotic-Antimycotic Solution (100x), Amphotericin B Solution, Gentamicin Sulfate Solution, and Penicillin G, are available for culture media. However, although many studies have found these antibiotics to be effective, they are ineffective against some types of drug-resistant bacteria, including Staphylococcus, E coli, and Streptococcus.
Culture media antibiotics to prevent infectious bacteria are often combined with other forms of therapy in human beings, such as antibacterial agents, to improve the efficacy of the treatment. Some examples of these include intravenous immunoglobulin, antimicrobial and anti-viral drugs. However, the best way of providing these drugs to reduce the risk of infection in people is to administer it as part of a series of treatments, and also to ensure that patients who are diagnosed with an antibiotic-resistant infection are receiving an appropriate course of antibiotics.

Nothing Compares To Our Culture Media Antibiotics – Let Our Agents Work For you!
There is no absolute guarantee culture media antibiotics will prevent all contamination in the future, but we do have great specificity with our current agents. Care must be used in and mixture of culture media to create the ideal environment, so that if bacteria in the future develops, we can prevent the development with the proper amount of antibiotics. This is the same care taken with patients, observation of any administered antibiotics should be taken very seriously, so tackle in potential future contamination in the body.
We hope this helps you in dealing with the issues we have seen in culture media antibiotics in recent years. Opening our research and our findings will help all to better deal with the future issues in preventing contamination.
We very much appreciate what Caisson Labs has done for us over the years by offering great Culture Media Antibiotics, and we look forward to many more to come.

What is DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
March 8, 2021 March 8, 2021 anku3727	0 Comments	DVI Full Form, Meaning of DVI, What is DVI (Digital Visual Interface), What is DVI?
In today's post, we are going to tell you that What is DVI (Digital Visual Interface) And what is the full form of DVI. Will provide complete information on DVI. So friends, to read about DVI, we must read this post till the end. Let's see What is DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
What is DVI
DVI Full Form
DVI Full Form Digital Visual Interface
Meaning of DVI
DVI means Digital visual interface, so its name is Digital. So this does not mean that only Digital Signal will do Carry. This version of DVI i.e. DVI-A only does Analog Signal Carry.
Because there is a ballot analogue of A here. Now you people must be wondering what is the benefit of this cable when this cable only carries the analogue signal. This work was also done by VGA.
VGA used to do this work here too. But this cable has been made keeping in mind the backward compatibility. So that the VGA user does not face any problem. And in this cable case it is better than VGA. DVI Cable and VGA Cable are similar in view from outside.
But when you look at its pins, you will understand that it is DVI cable not VGA. DVI's Analog cable has only 17 pins. So the 5 pins in it are with each other, out of which one except the pin Minus, the other four work to carry the Analog signal.
What is DVI?
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is considered a video interface. Which has been designed to provide very high visual quality on digital display devices (such as flat panel LCD computer display and digital projector.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) was developed by an Industry Association. Which has been developed by Digital display working group (DDWG). This is done to replace the legacy Analog technology VGA Connector function.
The digital interface is used to connect to a video source, such as a video display controller, to a display device (such as a computer monitor).
DVI port is a short form of Digital Visual Interface (DVI). This is a video display interface. Which has been developed by Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). This digital interface is used to connect video source, such as a display controller to display device, such as a computer monitor. The only intention to create DVI was to create an industry standard for transferring digital video content.
Why was DVI designed?
DVI was first installed in VGA Cable. Which was a very popular interface and was quite popular at that time. But VGA had many drawbacks. In which the biggest drawback was that he used to carry the Analog Signal.
So whatever Signal was sent from an End. At the second end, we used to meet via Decrease. Which was its drawback. For this reason, we need a CPU or GPU.
So by removing all these shortcomings, a new Interface was launched in 1999. Which was DVI. All the shortcomings in this interface were removed. Those who were in VGA.
DVI Type and formats | DVI Versions
Its Different-Different Type and Different-Different Versions are explained below.
1. DVI-I Single Link
2. DVI-I Dual Link
3.DVI-D Single Link
4. DVI-D Dual Link
DVI-I Single Link has three lines, each of which has six pins and also has two contacts. It can be used with both Analog and Digital applications as the Connector is integrated.
DVI-I Dual Link has three lines with eight pins with two contacts. There are more pins to accommodate the double connection. It can also be used with both Analog and Digital applications.
3. DVI-D Single Link
DVI-D Single Link has three lines with six pins without any contact. It can only be used with Digital applications.
DVI-D Dual Link has three lines with eight pins without any contact. There are more pins to accommodate the double connection. It can only be used with Digital applications.

Dracula at the Rosenbach
The Rosenbach Museum and Library hosts the Dracula Festival — a celebration of the original horror story, Bram Stoker's "Dracula." He hails from Transylvania, he wants to suck blood and he's one of literature's most
24 October 2011 Annabelle Buck Features
The Rosenbach Museum and Library hosts the Dracula Festival — a celebration of the original horror story, Bram Stoker's "Dracula."
He hails from Transylvania, he wants to suck blood and he's one of literature's most memorable monsters. If you didn't guess 'Dracula,' well, you probably deserve to have your blood sucked.
"There is a sense of 'before Dracula' and 'after Dracula,'" said Kathy Haas, assistant curator at Philadelphia's Rosenbach Museum and Library, and curator of the "Dracula and Friends" exhibit, which is now in its seventh year.
"All modern vampire stories–Anne Rice's 'Vampire Chronicles,' the 'Twilight Series'–have in some way been influenced by Bram Stoker's 'Dracula,'" Haas said. "They may not go around reeking like corpses, but that's cool and trendy because it's against our traditional idea of the vampire."
Stoker published "Dracula" in 1897 after nearly 10 years of planning and research. Although he did not invent the vampire legend, few question his impact on what it has become today. The novel was released with mixed reviews, some finding it to be too frightening, others finding its epistolary format to be too disorganized for a cohesive plot. Still, something has made this story endure for more than a century.
Film has a lot to do with it. There have been dozens of film adaptations of Stoker's novel, beginning in 1922 with the classic German silent film "Nosferatu," and continuing today with films such as "Bram Stoker's Dracula," and "Van Helsing." However, the most iconic image of Dracula–the dark widow's peak, stiff collar, and long black cape–is from the 1931 version starring Bela Lugosi.
So how did a quiet, unknown museum manager manage to create this horrific empire?
The Rosenbach owns the 124-page collection of Stoker's notes on the novel. Every year the exhibit has a different theme, largely for the sake of document conservation, as light has a damaging effect on the fragile handwritten papers. This year the museum will feature some of Stoker's more sinister research.
"The idea was to take a look at the supernatural research Stoker did, and pair it with other related documents, of which Stoker may or may not have had knowledge," Haas said.
The museum recently acquired the original copy of John Polidori's "The Vampyre," which is widely considered to be the first vampire story to be printed.
Also on display is the 1872 novel "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the ghastly and shocking story, for the time, of a lesbian vampire. There is also a newspaper article detailing the "proper" way to kill a vampire, and a medical report that describes the strange and inexplicable deathlike state.
The cover of "The Vampyre" gives Lord Byron authorship. Polidori was Byron's close friend and physician. Legend has it that Byron dared fellow pre-Raphaelite writers Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley and Polidori to write a horror story. Polidori went home and wrote "The Vampyre," and Mary Shelley wrote "Frankenstein."
Even a quick look through the exhibit makes it clear that Stoker drew from many different sources in the creation of his villain.
"[Stoker] didn't take any of it as gospel," Haas said. "He picked and chose elements he wanted to incorporate, and made up some of his own. He was more interested in creating a good story than in staying true to vampire lore."
One of the most popular theories about the origin of the Dracula legend is that Stoker based the character on the bloodthirsty Hungarian warlord Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad the Impaler.
While it is true that Stoker's working title for "Dracula" was "Count Wampyre," and that there is evidence he settled on the final name only after he read a book which mentioned Vlad, "An Account of the Principalities at Wallachia and Moldavia" by William Wilkerson, there is little evidence that he chose the name based on the character of the namesake himself.
Stoker copied several passages from the book, but he placed a great deal of emphasis on a footnote written into his notes, twice: "Dracula, in the Wallachian language, means Devil."
"He seemed to be attracted to the name, and didn't know much about it historically," Haas said.
It is actually more likely that Stoker based many of Dracula's character traits on the then famous actor Henry Irving, to whom Stoker was an assistant at the Lyceum Theater in London, where Stoker was also the business manager. This is of course disregarding Dracula's blood-sucking, shape-shifting, devil-incarnate characteristics. Ironically, Irving never agreed to play the part of Dracula on stage.
Besides the papery gems in the gallery exhibit, the Rosenbach will also be featuring a one man Dracula show, adapted and performed by Josh Hitchens, as part of the Dracula Festival. The show will be held Thursday, Oct. 27 from 6 p.m.–7:15 p.m.

Raymond T. McNally, who has written four books on the figure of Dracula in history, literature, and vampirism, in his fifth book, "Dracula was a Woman," presents insights into the fact that Stoker's Count Dracula was also strongly influenced by the legends of Elizabeth Bathory of Hungary.
For example Vlad was Romanian and Dracula was Hungarian like Bathory. Vlad the impaler was never even rumored to have drunk human blood while Elizabeth not only drank blood but was also reported to have bathed in the Blood of virgins to keep her youth.

Rites of Spring – "End on End"

The one lesson almost every emo band who followed in their wake (which is, well, all of them) seems to forget: thou shalt not not rock.
PICK ON SOMEBODY YOUR OWN SIZE
Tanya Headon • I Hate Music • 1 comment • 619 views
Let's think of some small things. The profits that the Poptones label made in its first year. The amount of emotion the Pet Shop Boys pour into every one of their songs. The number of times Slade or Prince actually spelt things properly in their record titles. Now think of something even smaller. That's right, you've just thought of Kylie Minogue.
Somehow Kylie is held up as all that is good and decent in the pop world these days. All on the strength of having been around for fourteen years and apparently not ageing. It was this kind of thinking that let Cliff Richard have a career for so long. From soap star to pop diva, Kylie's career is a catalogue of wretchedness so unspeakable I'm sure it is shelved next to the Necromonicon in the British Library. Even when "Indie-Kylie" flopped we never got rid of the antipodean munchkin.
The warning signs were there, with her perky post-Neighbours tomboy efforts with that staple of the zimmer-framed party set The Locomotion. See how the irony dripped from her voice as she sang "Everybody's doing a brand new dance now". It wasn't even new when Little Eva did it twenty years before. Chugga chugga motion is the oldest dance in the crap dancing book. She obviously had that special kind of talent that appealed to Pete Waterman (like the special kind of songwriting skills Status Quo had) and what followed was slab after slab of (if only) forgettable pop. It was during this period that Kylie appeared in what are critically assumed to be the worst two Christmas Number Ones ever: Band Aid 2 and Especially For You. And critics like music. Imagine what I think of these two stinkers.
Oh, but what is this. Pop Kylie becomes Dance Kylie become Sex Kylie. Spare me the pop chameleon routine, its pop desperation. Obviously taking the lyrics to Better The Devil You Know too seriously (in being diabolical) for some reason her audience also stuck with these fickle changes in image.
How disappointed do you think I was when Nick Cave – that eternal tease – sang about bumping Kylie off and then shagged her instead. Its a sad day when even the dark lords of pop cannot be trusted. Instead she tried to commit suicide – of a career variety – by working with the Manic Street Preachers. At least The Impossible Princess had the right title. It would be impossible for Kylie to be a princess, as princesses are gracious, respectable and admired by all. The only thing admired by all about Kylie is her arse – and even then only if you have a magnifying glass. She was so desperate to be as influential as Madonna that she even had to continue her crap acting career.
I thought it was all over after Indie Kylie, but some fool gave her a new song to tempt me with more fantasies. Spinning Around – I'd put her in a blindfold, spin her around and let her loose in a minefield. Frankly you are getting a bit to old for this stuff love. And now winning two Brit awards? I fear foul play here. Of course we can't get you out of our head Kylie, you are small enough to climb into our ears and brainwash us into liking you. Which is why I sleep with ear plugs in. So I never have to hear her again.
I should be so lucky.
Kylie in being made of boots, tits and head shockah!

Kylie in being made of boots, tits and head shockah! Ananova supplies us with this marvellous picture from what was from most reports a pretty lacklustre Brits. We get to see tonight I suppose (though I'll be in the pub) but easily the most interesting part of the night is also almost item number one in Ananova's report. Not only was Kylie booted up to her crotch, but she also booted her own record. The bootlegs break big with Kylie performing at least part of Can't Get You Out Of My Head, to New Order's Blue Monday. Finger on the pulse Kylie?
10cc – "Dreadlock Holiday"
8 Aug 2008 #426, 23rd September 1978 On one level the 'plot' of "Dreadlock Holiday" is hugely important to any judgement of it. On another, not at all, but let's recap anyway. The narrator is a tourist in Jamaica – he gets mugged for his silver chain and returns to the comfort of his hotel where a woman […]
The Music And Football Player Exchange, Notting Hill
23 Aug 2005 One of the happy upshots of the Bosman Ruling which we have been living with for almost ten years, is the effect it has on players prices near the end of their contract. Take Clinton Morrison (Birmingham wish someone would) the Republic of Ireland striker. Bought for a club record of £4.25 million three years […]
The Bible Of Badness: GENESIS
14 Nov 2006 In The Beginning There Was Nothingness. IF ONLY. In The Beginning There Was The Word. NOT THE BIRD FROM L7 PULLING DOWN HER KECKS AGAIN. But neither of these are strictly true. Because the first book of the Bible Of Badness is Genesis. And if you were ever to question how bad this Bible could […]
Dead Again: MP3s And The Dissolution Of Pop
26 Apr 1999 The mode of the music changes, the city quakes, or at least those blocks of primer-than-thou office space quake that house the HQs of worldwide record companies. The reason, apparently, is MP3 technology, which you all know about and most of you use, and which has been the subject of acres of ruminative, pessimistic music […]

ABBA – "Dancing Queen"
13 May 2008 #394, 4th September 1976 In my teens I read a science fiction novel with a startlingly elegant twist. (I won't mention the book's name in case you come across it yourself.) It was about a brilliant scientist who vanishes: the book's protagonist goes looking for clues to what happened, and becomes close to the scientist's […]
How Old Is Superman?
20 Aug 2004 How Old Is Superman? One of the seemingly undefined aspect of the Superman mythos is that of his ageing. Those who fall on the side of his omnipotence in everything (the superhearing, superbreath, superhair bunch) probably think as a preternatural godhead he will live forever. Look, he has been banging around in the comics for […]

New York Court Affirms Dismissal of Pediatric Malpractice Case
Many children suffer from asthma, and while it is generally a manageable condition, it can lead to acute medical events that require immediate treatment. If a paramedic fails to properly provide emergency care to a child having an asthma attack, it can have tragic consequences. Incompetent care does not always equal malpractice, though, as demonstrated in a recent New York opinion, in which the court ruled that while the defendant breached the standard of care, the breach did not cause the harm suffered. If your child was hurt because of insufficient medical treatment, you could be owed damages, and it is prudent to speak to a trusted Rochester medical malpractice lawyer about your rights.
The Child's Care
It is reported that the child suffered from asthma and frequently needed to use a nebulizer. In November 2012, when she was seven years old, the child advised her mother that she could not breathe. The mother administered the nebulizer treatment and called 911, which prompted paramedics to arrive. The child was transported to the defendant hospital, where she tragically died that evening.
Allegedly, the mother instituted a medical malpractice lawsuit, arguing in part that the paramedics, as agents of the defendant, negligently failed to perform CPR on the child, resulting in her death. The defendants moved for dismissal via summary judgment, and the court granted the motion. The mother appealed. Continue reading

New York Court Dismisses a Medical Malpractice Claim Due to Plaintiff's Failure to Show a Breach of the Standard of Care
In many instances, a doctor's failure to conduct the tests needed to provide a patient with an accurate diagnosis constitutes medical malpractice. In some cases, however, even if a doctor's diagnosis is delayed, the doctor may not be held liable for any harm suffered by the patient if the applicable standard of care does not require a doctor to consider all possible diagnoses. This was demonstrated in a recent New York pediatric malpractice case in which the court dismissed the plaintiff's claims due to the plaintiff's inability to show that the failure to diagnosis a rare condition constituted a breach of the standard of care. If your child suffered harm because of a delayed diagnosis, it is in your best interest to speak to a trusted Rochester pediatric malpractice attorney to assess what damages you may be owed.
The Child's Alleged Harm
It is alleged that the defendant pediatrician examined the plaintiff-child in early November 2008 for an infection. The defendant prescribed the plaintiff-child antibiotics. The defendant saw the plaintiff-child again one day later, and five days later, when his condition seemed to be improving. Six days after the initial visit, however, the plaintiff-mother called the defendant and reported that the plaintiff-child had a fever, and had recently undergone dental work, after which the defendant advised the plaintiff-mother to take the plaintiff-child to the emergency room.
Reportedly, the plaintiff-child was diagnosed with bacterial endocarditis, which required surgery to preserve his mitral valve function. The plaintiffs then filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the defendant, alleging the plaintiff's condition should have been diagnosed via an echocardiogram, but that one was not performed until ten days after the plaintiff's initial visit. Following discovery, the defendant filed a motion to dismiss, which the court ultimately granted. The plaintiff then appealed.
New York Court Discusses Sufficiency of Expert Affirmations In Medical Malpractice Cases
In most medical malpractice cases, the parties will produce expert affirmations in support of their claims or defenses. It is not sufficient to merely produce an expert affirmation, however. Rather, the affirmation's weight and credibility will be assessed by whether it meets certain requirements. This was demonstrated in a recent case before a court in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, in which the court affirmed the dismissal of a pediatric malpractice case due to the insufficiencies of the plaintiff's expert affirmation. If your child suffered harm due to inadequate care provided by a pediatrician, it is prudent to consult a skilled Rochester pediatric malpractice attorney regarding what evidence you must produce to recover compensation.
Factual Background
It is alleged that the minor plaintiff was treated by the defendant pediatricians and at the defendant hospital in December 2017. The defendants failed to diagnose her with viral encephalitis in a timely manner, which caused her to suffer permanent impairments that required her to need care and assistance for the remainder of her life. Thus, the minor child and her parents, filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the defendants. The defendants each filed motions for summary judgment, asking the court to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims against them. The court granted the respective motions, and the plaintiffs appealed. Upon review, the appellate court affirmed the trial court ruling.
Sufficiency of an Expert Affidavit in a Medical Malpractice Case
In the subject case, the defendant hospital established it's right to judgment in its favor as a matter of law through the affirmation of its expert. Specifically, the expert reviewed the hospital's records and the depositions taken in the case and found that the hospital's doctors' treatment of the minor plaintiff complied with the accepted standard of care and that regardless, any departure did not cause the minor plaintiff's harm.
Dismissal of Plaintiff's Claims Highlights Importance of Expert Affidavits in New York Medical Malpractice Cases
A delayed diagnosis can cause irreparable harm, but proving a delay in providing an accurate diagnosis caused a person's damages can be challenging and will typically require the testimony of one or more experts. The pitfalls of failing to obtain a qualified expert were recently demonstrated in a pediatric malpractice case, in which the court affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiff's case due to an insufficient expert affidavit. If your child suffered harm due to negligent care provided in a hospital, it is prudent to speak with a capable Rochester pediatric malpractice attorney regarding your potential claims.
Factual and Procedural Background
It is reported that the plaintiff filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the defendant hospital, arguing that the hospital's delayed diagnosis caused the plaintiff to suffer harm. The plaintiff's precise injuries were not set forth in the case. The defendant filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted, dismissing the plaintiff's case. The plaintiff appealed, but on appeal, the appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision.
Sufficiency of a Plaintiff's Expert Affidavit
On appeal, the court stated that the defendant set forth a prima facie case showing that it was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Specifically, the defendant submitted an expert affidavit from a pediatric neurologist that opined that the defendant did not depart from the accepted and good practice of medicine and that any departure did not cause the plaintiff's alleged harm. The affidavit stated that as the plaintiff had only suffered one seizure due to a fever, imaging of the plaintiff's brain was not indicated when he visited the emergency room of the defendant hospital. Further, the affidavit opined that although the plaintiff suffered from an arterial venous malformation (AVM), the AVM was not the cause of the plaintiff's harm.

Who are the players in the sugar tax debate? And what's next?
What is the 'sugar tax' and who reckons it's a good idea?
At this point, it is a recommendation from a number of health experts, which would place a levy on sugary drinks in order to mitigate obesity rates, writes Crikey intern Sophie Heizer.


Keith Kinkaid likened Sidney's Crosby's goal to a baseball play, the Devils are moving on from a tough loss and Nico Hischier is wise beyond years.
NEWARK – Sidney Crosby has thrown out the first pitch, but never hit a home run. Well, at least that we know of, because then again, what can't he do?
He can score amazing goals that make you scratch your head and rewind the clip five times, just like he did on Thursday night at Prudential Center, when his goal 19 seconds into overtime sealed effectively downed the Devils.
With the game tied 3-3, Crosby put a line-drive swing on it. It hit the shortstop and the foul pole. And by the shortstop and the foul pole, I mean the goal post and the goalie, Devils' netminder Keith Kinkaid, before somehow going into the net.
Nico Hischier set up Kyle Palmieri for the Devils' first goal against Pittsburgh by winning a big puck battle along the boards. It was a particularly impressive play, considering it was Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel closing in on the heralded rookie. Hischier showed no fear and forcibly won, getting the puck away from the scrum and out to Palmieri for the opening goal.
The 19-year-old Hischier is all of 175 pounds and Kessel could probably eat him for breakfast. The play showed a maturity and a willingness to go into the dirty areas against some of the biggest and best players.
It was quite also quite an adult play.
The league's best power play was rendered completely ineffective by the Devils this season. In four games, the Penguins went 0-for-7 with the man-advantage, which is almost unheard of for a team who came into the game converting on nearly 26 percent of their chances.
A year ago, the Devils may not have battled the defending Stanley Cup champs into overtime. But according to coach John Hynes, a season of success still doesn't mean anything if the Devils don't learn from tough games like these, especially since a playoff spot isn't locked up just yet.
The Devils are off Friday and will return to action Saturday at home against the New York Islanders.

This is a must eat if you are ever in Taipei. Head on over to Ximending, morning or night and have a bowl of noodles.
I have heard stories of people not being able to find this place so here are instructions.
Take Exit 6 from the Metro Ximen Station (that is the dot at the bottom of the map labelled 6), with the exit at your back, you will then head at a 1 o'clock direction road pass a 1973 sign board on your right. Once you reach the first open round plaza, take a right and head down the road on Emei Street. About 60 meters, on your right, you will see this place.
Depending on the time and wave, you may find this place totally queued up with long lines, or no lines at all. Prepare to eat standing up as the 10 chairs do little to cater for the crowds.
Each bowl cost 65 NTD for the large bowl and 50 NTD. Make your order and pay.
Do not worry about holding a hot bowl as the paper bowl given to you has a solid edged based allowing you to hold whilst standing.
Do mix the bowl of noodles well as most of the garlic sauce and vinegar is at the bottom.
You get a starchy bowl of noodles with a few slices of pig intestines. My favorite. I go slow on the vinegar though.
I would rate this as an good dish to have and mee sua lovers will definitely enjoy this eat.
I am not a fan but even then I love this and usually consume 1-2 bowls!


The first time I had a panic attack, I thought I was dying. I'd gone to see a movie with some friends one Thanksgiving night in high school, and I ran into an ex I'd had a messy breakup with and thought I'd never have to see again.
Initially, when I saw him, my heart sped up, but things went quickly back to normal. Twenty minutes into the movie, however, my heart started racing and wouldn't slow down. I felt like I was fighting to catch my breath. I thought I was having a reaction to the perfume my friend was wearing, and I quickly told my friends I wasn't feeling well and left.
When I got home, I didn't feel any better. I told my family I wasn't feeling well, took a shower, then went to lay down in bed, totally resigned to the fact that I thought I was having a heart attack or some other fatal problem.
After weeks of missed school and doctor visits where I was told I was in great health, I learned that anxiety was the root of my symptoms, and what I was feeling was what's commonly called a panic or anxiety attack.
Panic attacks look different for everyone. For me, my heart speeds up, I feel like I have a hard time catching my breath, and my stomach ties itself in knots. For other people I know, it's an overwhelming sense of general dread or fear. Some people tremble, vomit, feel claustrophobic or just get quiet and withdrawn. Anxiety can be triggered by specific things or events, or just suddenly come crashing in a wave with no reason at all.
No two panic attacks are exactly the same, and there isn't one particular thing you should do if you're having a panic attack. There's no guaranteed cure that will make you instantly feel better, and it can be a process of trial and error to find a method of soothing yourself that works for you.
I do a few things when I have panic attacks. First, I tell myself that I'm having a panic attack. This is important for me, because a lot of my anxiety is health-related, and it can be really scary when your body starts feeling out of whack. Recognizing that you know what's causing you to feel this way can do wonders for helping you feel better.
Next, I focus on my breathing. Doing deep breathing exercises helps calm my body and reassure my mind that I'm not actually dying. An easy exercise is called four square breathing. You breathe in for four counts, hold it for four counts, breathe out for four counts and hold it for four counts, then repeat until you feel more calm.
If there's something specific I'm worrying about, I try to think rationally about it and remind myself that things really aren't as bad as they may seem. One thing I get nervous about is flying, and when I'm taking a big trip somewhere, I remind myself that, statistically, flying is much safer than driving and the likelihood of anything bad happening is minuscule.
Other great coping mechanisms are finding a quiet place to sit and relax, doing yoga, meditating, talking to a friend or exercising. Putting yourself in an environment where you feel comfortable or where you have the support of people you care about can be a huge help when recovering from a panic attack.
Talking to a counselor or getting a prescription for anti-anxiety medication can be a huge help, especially if you suffer from frequent or severe panic attacks that make it hard for you to live normally. There's a negative social stigma around getting therapy or taking medication for your mental health, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting the help you need to live your best life.

Jaz Elevator Headquarters
This Phoenix-based company provides cladding and architectural products for elevator cabs.
JAZ Elevator Products was established in 1997 in Phoenix, becoming one of the first woman-owned fabricators and installers of architectural products for elevator cabs and entrance cladding in the state of Arizona. The company's initial success is connected to its strong commitment to customer service and the experience of co-founders Joe and Anita Zadravec (whose initials were to form "JAZ"). During the company's first few years, Joe held a myriad of responsibilities, including engineering, drafting and sales. Anita was originally a certified public accountant and handled the financial aspects of the company.
Since then, JAZ Elevator has added employees with experience in various areas of its business. The following employees fulfill fundamental roles within the company:
Eric Farah is the company's National Sales manager and estimator. He works to manage the company's product quality and customer service, in addition to overall business management.
Bill Dapke brings more than 20 years of experience in installing elevator interiors and has been with JAZ Elevator since the beginning.
Mike Baker is also part of the installation team and has more than 15 years of experience in the cabinet/woodworking industry.
Art Aguilar works in various areas of the company including project management, purchasing, drafting and designing.
Patricia Lentz is the office manager and bookkeeper.
Shaun Patterson is the shop foreman with experience in building and assembling.
The company's success is dependent upon its teamwork and efforts to excel in promptly providing bids, working closely with clients to keep them informed, providing accurate and detailed cab designs, demonstrating knowledge of elevator codes and experience in fabrication, and scheduling projects for timely installation. JAZ Elevator has expanded to the West Coast and now has the capability of shipping its products nationwide. In 2003, it became necessary to upgrade to a new, larger facility to accommodate customers' growing demands. As part of its effort to expand, the company continues to pursue opportunities to fabricate elevator interiors in new regions.
JAZ Elevator specializes in the design, fabrication and installation of custom and standard elevator cab interiors and entrance door, entrance frame and escalator cladding, for new construction and modernization projects. JAZ Elevator also has the ability to build complete cabs when the design requires standard or custom shells, fronts and interfacing. The company can provide consulting for an outdated elevator or a new elevator interior that matches one's building.
The company analyzes cab designs and materials, whether it is glass, stone, woods, logos, etchings, metals, fabric or a combination of decorative finishes and creates a cab interior while making sure all specification and architectural design criteria are met. JAZ Elevator can provide design and engineering assistance at no cost to help facilitate the customer's vision and budget requirements. During the design stage, the company ensures all code and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements are in compliance.
Currently, the company is working with Otis to provide eight cab interiors for the Las Vegas City Hall project, which is expected to be completed in October. JAZ Elevator is also working with Schindler to fabricate and install 10 cab interiors for the new Maricopa County Courthouse in Phoenix, which is to be completed in November. In addition, JAZ Elevator is working with ThyssenKrupp Elevator to provide 14 cab interiors and cladding for 24 escalators and four moving walks for the Sky Train project at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. The airport project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.
Having been cofounded and operated by a woman, JAZ Elevator is federally certified as a Women's Business Enterprise. The company is certified in the states of Arizona, Colorado and Washington as a Small Business Enterprise. JAZ Elevator is also certified as a Disadvantage Business Enterprise and a Minority Business Enterprise. These certifications equip the company to work on any level of project.
JAZ Elevator has skilled professionals with experience in fabrication and installation, and its installers are signatories to the International Union of Elevator Contractors. As part of its plan to be a one-source vendor, JAZ Elevator plans to expand its services to include a low-cost standard cab interior package, complete cabs (including shells and ronts), and observation cabs.
As in the past, JAZ Elevator is eager to continue servicing its customers to the fullest capacity and will "always go the extra mile."

Dry Dock Brewing started as an idea when Kevin DeLange, owner of homebrew store The Brew Hut, noticed a small, vacant space next door. He had been selling beer-making ingredients for several and would frequently host Home Brew nights to invite brewers in to share what they had created. In 2005, DeLange found used equipment, rented the space, began brewing small batches of beer, and opened the doors. As many locals will recall, this taproom had four taps with only seven bar stools and a few tables; a cozy setting to say the least.
In 2009, we moved to the corner suite of the same strip mall, expanding to seat 200, and have been brewing like maniacs ever since. Winning the Great American Beer Festival's premier award, Small Brewing Company of the Year, later in 2009, we've been able to spread the gospel and pour the beer. Led by DeLange and head brewer Bill Eye, Dry Dock Brewing has become the most popular tap house in Aurora, Colorado.


Home > Blog > 2018 > April > Do You Need a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement?
Talking about prenups and postnuptial agreements certainly isn't the most romantic conversation, but it can be necessary and extremely beneficial. Not all couples consider establishing a marital agreement or want to think about a future involving divorce, but perhaps they should. The typical idea is that prenuptial or postnuptial agreements are established for the wealthy, and while there is a lot to be said about high-asset prenups, they can benefit couples of varying financial backgrounds. If you are interested in establishing clear financial goals, communicating marital expectations, and protecting your assets, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement might be a good choice for you.
Before you make any decisions, make sure you understand precisely what prenuptial agreements do and decide whether or not they're the right choice for you.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, also called marital agreements, are legally-binding documents that aim to protect the interests of each respective spouse. Most people associate prenuptial and postnuptial agreements with divorce, but, while they can be beneficial if your marriage should end, these agreements can do much more. Prenups and postnups can also help you to establish clear marital goals and expectations, designate financial responsibilities, property obligations, and they can even protect your children. The key difference between these two agreements is when they are established. A prenuptial agreement is created before the marriage takes place, whereas a postnuptial agreement is created during the marriage.
Who Benefits from Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements?
Anyone with an interest in preserving their wishes and needs during and after their marriage could benefit from a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. Individuals with high assets are usually more prone to choose these agreements, simply because they have more to lose. Also, individuals who have already gone through a divorce or multiple divorces might choose to us a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to protect their own interests, should their current marriage end in divorce as well. Parents can also benefit, especially if they enter the marriage with kids from another union. If you have an inheritance or own heirlooms of particular financial or emotional value, it might also be a good idea for you to establish a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement in order to ensure that those possessions remain your property, not your spouses.
Business owners can also benefit from creating a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. If you own your own company, it could potentially be up for negotiation in property division if you go through a divorce. This can be a terrifying idea to any business owner, so ensuring that your business stays under your control during your marriage, and in case of a divorce, can help protect your interests.
If you are interested in a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, make sure you discuss your situation with an experienced family lawyer. Everyone's financial and legal situation is unique, and a skilled attorney can work with you to determine what legal options are best for your given circumstances.
