Know in general what "legal sufficiency" means when examining consideration.
Recognize how the concept operates in such common situations as threat of litigation, and accord and satisfaction.
Understand why illusory promises are unenforceable, and how courts deal with needs, outputs, and exclusive dealings contracts.
As suggested in Section 11.1 "General Perspectives on Consideration", what is required in contract is the exchange of a legal detriment and a legal benefit; if that happens, the consideration is said to have legal sufficiencySomething of value enough to constitute consideration..
Suppose Phil offers George $500 if George will quit smoking for one year. Is Phil's promise binding? Because George is presumably benefiting by making and sticking to the agreement—surely his health will improve if he gives up smoking—how can his act be considered a legal detriment? The answer is that there is forbearance on George's part: George is legally entitled to smoke, and by contracting not to, he suffers a loss of his legal right to do so. This is a legal detriment; consideration does not require an actual detriment.
Of course, normally, parties to contracts will not make such a one-sided deal as Scrooge and Caspar's. But there is a common class of contracts in which nominal consideration—usually one dollar—is recited in printed forms. Usually these are option contracts, in which "in consideration of one dollar in hand paid and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged" one party agrees to hold open the right of the other to make a purchase on agreed terms. The courts will enforce these contracts if the dollar is intended "to support a short-time option proposing an exchange on fair terms."Restatement (Second) of Contracts, Section 87(b). If, however, the option is for an unreasonably long period of time and the underlying bargain is unfair (the Restatement gives as an example a ten-year option permitting the optionee to take phosphate rock from a widow's land at a per-ton payment of only one-fourth the prevailing rate), then the courts are unlikely to hold that the nominal consideration makes the option irrevocable.
Because the consideration on such option contracts is nominal, its recital in the written instrument is usually a mere formality, and it is frequently never paid; in effect, the recital of nominal consideration is false. Nevertheless, the courts will enforce the contract—precisely because the recital has become a formality and nobody objects to the charade. Moreover, it would be easy enough to upset an option based on nominal consideration by falsifying oral testimony that the dollar was never paid or received. In a contest between oral testimonies where the incentive to lie is strong and there is a written document clearly incorporating the parties' agreement, the courts prefer the latter. However, as Section 11.4.1 "Consideration for an Option", Board of Control of Eastern Michigan University v. Burgess, demonstrates, the state courts are not uniform on this point, and it is a safe practice always to deliver the consideration, no matter how nominal.
This section discusses several common circumstances where the issue of whether the consideration proffered (offered up) is adequate.
Because every person has the legal right to file suit if he or she feels aggrieved, a promise to refrain from going to court is sufficient consideration to support a promise of payment or performance. In Dedeaux v. Young, Dedeaux purchased property and promised to make certain payments to Young, the broker.Dedeaux v. Young, 170 So.2d 561 (1965). But Dedeaux thereafter failed to make these payments, and Young threatened suit; had he filed papers in court, the transfer of title could have been blocked. To keep Young from suing, Dedeaux promised to pay a 5 percent commission if Young would stay out of court. Dedeaux later resisted paying on the ground that he had never made such a promise and that even if he had, it did not amount to a contract because there was no consideration from Young. The court disagreed, holding that the evidence supported Young's contention that Dedeaux had indeed made such a promise and upholding Young's claim for the commission because "a request to forbear to exercise a legal right has been generally accepted as sufficient consideration to support a contract." If Young had had no grounds to sue—for example, if he had threatened to sue a stranger, or if it could be shown that Dedeaux had no obligation to him originally—then there would have been no consideration because Young would not have been giving up a legal right. A promise to forebear suing in return for settlement of a dispute is called a covenant not to sueAn agreement not to pursue legal action. (covenant is another word for agreement).
Frequently, the parties to a contract will dispute the meaning of its terms and conditions, especially the amount of money actually due. When the dispute is genuine (and not the unjustified attempt of one party to avoid paying a sum clearly due), it can be settled by the parties' agreement on a fixed sum as the amount due. This second agreement, which substitutes for the disputed first agreement, is called an accord, and when the payment or other term is discharged, the completed second contract is known as an accord and satisfactionAn agreement to substitute a new contract for a disputed one; when executed, the accord is satisfied.. A suit brought for an alleged breach of the original contract could be defended by citing the later accord and satisfaction.
An accord is a contract and must therefore be supported by consideration. Suppose Jan owes Andy $7,000, due November 1. On November 1, Jan pays only $3,500 in exchange for Andy's promise to release Jan from the remainder of the debt. Has Andy (the promisor) made a binding promise? He has not, because there is no consideration for the accord. Jan has incurred no detriment; she has received something (release of the obligation to pay the remaining $3,500), but she has given up nothing. But if Jan and Andy had agreed that Jan would pay the $3,500 on October 25, then there would be consideration; Jan would have incurred a legal detriment by obligating herself to make a payment earlier than the original contract required her to. If Jan had paid the $3,500 on November 11 and had given Andy something else agreed to—a pen, a keg of beer, a peppercorn—the required detriment would also be present.
Let's take a look at some examples of the accord and satisfaction principle. The dispute that gives rise to the parties' agreement to settle by an accord and satisfaction may come up in several typical ways: where there is an unliquidated debt; a disputed debt; an "in-full-payment check" for less than what the creditor claims is due; unforeseen difficulties that give rise to a contract modification, or a novation; or a composition among creditors. But no obligation ever arises—and no real legal dispute can arise—where a person promises a benefit if someone will do that which he has a preexisting obligation to, or where a person promises a benefit to someone not to do that which the promisee is already disallowed from doing, or where one makes an illusory promise.
Here is how the matter plays out: Assume a patient goes to the hospital for a gallbladder operation. The cost of the operation has not been discussed beforehand in detail, although the cost in the metropolitan area is normally around $8,000. After the operation, the patient and the surgeon agree on a bill of $6,000. The patient pays the bill; a month later the surgeon sues for another $2,000. Who wins? The patient: he has forgone his right to challenge the reasonableness of the fee by agreeing to a fixed amount payable at a certain time. The agreement liquidating the debt is an accord and is enforceable. If, however, the patient and the surgeon had agreed on an $8,000 fee before the operation, and if the patient arbitrarily refused to pay this liquidated debt unless the surgeon agreed to cut her fee in half, then the surgeon would be entitled to recover the other half in a lawsuit, because the patient would have given no consideration—given up nothing, "suffered no detriment"—for the surgeon's subsequent agreement to cut the fee.
A disputed debt arises where the parties did agree on (liquidated) the price or fee but subsequently get into a dispute about its fairness, and then settle. When this dispute is settled, the parties have given consideration to an agreement to accept a fixed sum as payment for the amount due. Assume that in the gallbladder case the patient agrees in advance to pay $8,000. Eight months after the operation and as a result of nausea and vomiting spells, the patient undergoes a second operation; the surgeons discover a surgical sponge embedded in the patient's intestine. The patient refuses to pay the full sum of the original surgeon's bill; they settle on $6,000, which the patient pays. This is a binding agreement because subsequent facts arose to make legitimate the patient's quarrel over his obligation to pay the full bill. As long as the dispute is based in fact and is not trumped up, as long as the promisee is acting in good faith, then consideration is present when a disputed debt is settled.
An unforeseen difficultyProblems in executing a contract so great as to warrant the assumption that the contract is modified. arising after a contract is made may be resolved by an accord and satisfaction, too. Difficulties that no one could foresee can sometimes serve as catalyst for a further promise that may appear to be without consideration but that the courts will enforce nevertheless. Suppose Peter contracts to build Jerry a house for $390,000. While excavating, Peter unexpectedly discovers quicksand, the removal of which will cost an additional $10,000. To ensure that Peter does not delay, Jerry promises to pay Peter $10,000 more than originally agreed. But when the house is completed, Jerry reneges on his promise. Is Jerry liable? Logically perhaps not: Peter has incurred no legal detriment in exchange for the $10,000; he had already contracted to build the house. But most courts would allow Peter to recover on the theory that the original contract was terminated, or modified, either by mutual agreement or by an implied condition that the original contract would be discharged if unforeseen difficulties developed. In short, the courts will enforce the parties' own mutual recognition that the unforeseen conditions had made the old contract unfair. The parties either have modified their original contract (which requires consideration at common law) or have given up their original contract and made a new one (called a novationA new contract substituting for an old one, or a new party to a contract replacing a former party.).
It is a question of fact whether the new circumstance is new and difficult enough to make a preexisting obligation into an unforeseen difficulty. Obviously, if Peter encounters only a small pocket of quicksand—say two gallons' worth—he would have to deal with it as part of his already-agreed-to job. If he encounters as much quicksand as would fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, that's clearly unforeseen, and he should get extra to deal with it. Someplace between the two quantities of quicksand there is enough of the stuff so that Peter's duty to remove it is outside the original agreement and new consideration would be needed in exchange for its removal.
A creditors' compositionAn agreement among creditors, each accepting less than full payment from a debtor so that each gets something. may give rise to debt settlement by an accord and satisfaction. It is an agreement whereby two or more creditors of a debtor consent to the debtor's paying them pro rata shares of the debt due in full satisfaction of their claims. A composition agreement can be critically important to a business in trouble; through it, the business might manage to stave off bankruptcy. Even though the share accepted is less than the full amount due and is payable after the due date so that consideration appears to be lacking, courts routinely enforce these agreements. The promise of each creditor to accept a lesser share than that owed in return for getting something is taken as consideration to support the promises of the others. A debtor has $3,000 on hand. He owes $3,000 each to A, B, and C. A, B, and C agree to accept $1,000 each and discharge the debtor. Each creditor has given up $2,000 but in return has at least received something, the $1,000. Without the composition, one might have received the entire amount owed her, but the others would have received nothing.
Not amenable to settlement by an accord and satisfaction is the situation where a party has a preexisting duty and he or she is offered a benefit to discharge it. When the only consideration offered the promisor is an act or promise to act to carry out a preexisting duty, there is no valid contract. As Denney v. Reppert (Section 11.4.2 "Consideration: Preexisting Obligation") makes clear, the promisee suffers no legal detriment in promising to undertake that which he is already obligated to do. Where a person is promised a benefit not to do that which he is already disallowed from doing, there is no consideration. David is sixteen years old; his uncle promises him $50 if he will refrain from smoking. The promise is not enforceable: legally, David already must refrain from smoking, so he has promised to give up nothing to which he had a legal right. As noted previously, the difficulty arises where it is unclear whether a person has a preexisting obligation or whether such unforeseen difficulties have arisen as to warrant the recognition that the parties have modified the contract or entered into a novation. What if Peter insists on additional payment for him to remove one wheelbarrow full of quicksand from the excavation? Surely that's not enough "unforeseen difficulty." How much quicksand is enough?
Not every promise is a pledge to do something. Sometimes it is an illusory promiseThe promisor actually gives up no consideration, as in "I will paint your house in June if I feel like it.", where the terms of the contract really bind the promisor to give up nothing, to suffer no detriment. For example, Lydia offers to pay Juliette $10 for mowing Lydia's lawn. Juliette promises to mow the lawn if she feels like it. May Juliette enforce the contract? No, because Juliette has incurred no legal detriment; her promise is illusory, since by doing nothing she still falls within the literal wording of her promise. The doctrine that such bargains are unenforceable is sometimes referred to as the rule of mutuality of obligation: if one party to a contract has not made a binding obligation, neither is the other party bound. Thus if A contracts to hire B for a year at $6,000 a month, reserving the right to dismiss B at any time (an "option to cancel" clause), and B agrees to work for a year, A has not really promised anything; A is not bound to the agreement, and neither is B.
The illusory promise presents a special problem in agreements for exclusive dealing, outputs, and needs contracts.
In an exclusive dealing agreementA contract—as between buyer and seller—where the parties agree only to deal with each other., one party (the franchisor) promises to deal solely with the other party (the franchisee)—for example, a franchisor-designer agrees to sell all of her specially designed clothes to a particular department store (the franchisee). In return, the store promises to pay a certain percentage of the sales price to the designer. On closer inspection, it may appear that the store's promise is illusory: it pays the designer only if it manages to sell dresses, but it may sell none. The franchisor-designer may therefore attempt to back out of the deal by arguing that because the franchisee is not obligated to do anything, there was no consideration for her promise to deal exclusively with the store.
It is true that [the franchisee] does not promise in so many words that he will use reasonable efforts to place the defendant's endorsements and market her designs. We think, however, that such a promise is fairly to be implied. The law has outgrown its primitive stage of formalism when the precise word was the sovereign talisman, and every slip was fatal. It takes a broader view today. A promise may be lacking, and yet the whole writing may be "instinct with an obligation," imperfectly expressed.…His promise to pay the defendant one-half of the profits and revenues resulting from the exclusive agency and to render accounts monthly was a promise to use reasonable efforts to bring profits and revenues into existence.Otis F. Wood v. Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordon, 118 N.E. 214 (1917).
A similar issue arises with outputs contracts and needs contracts. In an outputs contractAn agreement to sell all of one's goods or services to a single person., the seller—say a coal company—agrees to sell its entire yearly output of coal to an electric utility. Has it really agreed to produce and sell any coal at all? What if the coal-mine owner decides to shut down production to take a year's vacation—is that a violation of the agreement? Yes. The law imposes upon the seller here a duty to produce and sell a reasonable amount. Similarly, if the electric utility contracted to buy all its requirements of coal from the coal company—a needs contractAn agreement to buy all of one's requirements (of goods or services) from a single source.—could it decide to stop operation entirely and take no coal? No, it is required to take a reasonable amount.
Courts do not inquire into the adequacy of consideration, but (with some exceptions) do require the promisor to incur a legal detriment (the surrender of any legal right he or she possesses—to give up something) in order to receive the bargained-for benefit. The surrender of the right to sue is a legal detriment, and the issue arises in analyzing various kinds of dispute settlement agreements (accord and satisfaction): the obligation to pay the full amount claimed by a creditor on a liquidated debt, an unliquidated debt, and a disputed debt. Where unforeseen difficulties arise, an obligor will be entitled to additional compensation (consideration) to resolve them either because the contract is modified or because the parties have entered into a novation, but no additional consideration is owing to one who performs a preexisting obligation or forbears from performing that which he or she is under a legal duty not to perform. If a promisor gives an illusory promise, he or she gives no consideration and no contract is formed; but exclusive dealing agreements, needs contracts, and outputs contracts are not treated as illusory.
What is meant by "legally sufficient" consideration?
Why do courts usually not "inquire into the adequacy of consideration"?
How can it be said there is consideration in the following instances: (a) settlement of an unliquidated debt? (b) settlement of a disputed debt? (c) a person agreeing to do more than originally contracted for because of unforeseen difficulties? (d) a creditor agreeing with other creditors for each of them to accept less than they are owed from the debtor?
Why is there no consideration where a person demands extra compensation for that which she is already obligated to do, or for forbearing to do that which she already is forbidden from doing?
What is the difference between a contract modification and a novation?
How do courts resolve the problem that a needs or outputs contract apparently imposes no detriment—no requirement to pass any consideration to the other side—on the promisor?

Break of Day is a 1976 Australian film set immediately after World War I.

Plot
Beginning on the shores of Gallipoli, at break of day during the invasion of the peninsula by Australian forces in the first world war this film then shifts to the quiet country town of Tetlow in 1920.

Where a restless young war veteran Tom Cooper (Andrew McFarlane) is distracted from rabbiting, his very pregnant wife and his memories when he meets Alice Hughes (Sara Kestelman), an artist with Bohemian ways.

When Alice's sophisticated wine-drinking city friends turn up and condescendingly observe a rural cricket match, Tom begins to understand that Alice sees the world differently, and he returns to his country lifestyle, sadder but perhaps also a little wiser, or at least more aware of himself and the larger world.

Cast
Sara Kestelman as Alice Hughes
Andrew McFarlane as Tom Cooper
Ingrid Mason as Beth
Tony Barry as Joe
Eileen Chapman as Susan
John Bell as Arthur
Ben Gabriel as Mr Evans
Dennis Olsen as Roger
Geraldine Turner as Sandy
Maurie Fields as Lou
Malcolm Phillips as Robbie

Production
The script was an original by Cliff Green who had adapted Picnic at Hanging Rock for Pat Lovell. Green gave her a copy of the script on the last day of Picnics shoot and she was immediately interested. Lovell:
While it isn't a 'women's film', it is the sort of film – like 'Picnic' – that women would like to go to with their husbands.  We've had a lot of pornography and a lot of violence, and I think people are ready for a love story. This is a very real one. and even though it's set in 1920, it could happen at any time. It's a story with a tremendous amount of charm. Essentially what it says is that people can love more than one person, but be out of communication with one of them. I think a lot of people will identify with it.
Production company: Clare Beach Films Pty. Ltd.

Budget: A little more than A$500,000, with investments from GUO Film Distributors, the federal government investment body the Australian Film Commission, and $61,000/$65,000 from the  Victorian government (producer Pat Lovell quoted in two different newspaper reports - it was the first investment in a feature film by the Victorian government, which set up the Victorian Film Corporation to handle the investment, but too late to get the VFC a head credit on the film). A Cinema Papers production survey, June–July 1976 listed the budget as $617,000, but in the next Sept-Oct 1976 edition, apologised to the producers of the film for typographical errors, and reported the budget as $507,000  Australian distributor: Greater Union Distributors

Australian release:  world premiere Bercy Cinema Melbourne 31 December 1976; on television, Nine network, 13 July 1980.

Shooting began in April 1976 in and near the old gold-mining town of Maldon in central Victoria, in which the main part of the shoot five weeks. The isolated stone Cottage, which serves as the bush hideaway for the main female character and artist, "Alice", is a few kilometres out of town. However what was not known at the time was that this
Cottage once called "Crofthill" belonged to a well known family in the area, The 'Waterson's'. In this case Ernest Edward Waterson and his wife Sarah Margaret (Nee Bishop). Ernest was a carpenter and farmer but he also served in the Boer War in the 2nd Mount Rifles and travelled widely with and without the family. Unfortunately Ernest and Sarah both died within a year of each other at Crofthill, from tuberculosis, leaving family to raise their children and letting Crofthill run into disrepair and then ruin.

The Gallipoli flashback scenes were shot at Portsea in Victoria.

Hannam's wife Wendy Dickson worked as production designer.

The film is dated by the Oxford and other databases as 1976, no doubt because the film was given its premiere release on the last day of the year, but the copyright notice at the end of the film nominates 1977 as the year of production. Occasionally producers will add a year when preparing final credits, especially if on the cusp between two years - better fifty years of copyright from 1977 than from 1976. As this site uses the film's copyright notice as the key indicator of production date, this film is dated to 1977.

The theme song, "Australia Will Be There - Francis" was sung by the Marist Singer's of Eastwood, conducted by Paul Bateman OAM. A boys choir from Sydney, NSW.

Reception
The film received some good reviews and was popular in Melbourne but performed poorly in Sydney and failed to recoup its budget.

Cliff Green later published a novelisation of the script.

Home Media
Break of Day was released on DVD by Umbrella Entertainment in January 2010. The DVD includes the theatrical trailer as a special feature.

Yossi Vardi is one of the people I've had the pleasure to get to know since starting TechCrunch. You can find him at technology events worldwide – just look for the smiling, wild-haired guy surrounded by a pack of people.
To understand what he has accomplished, see his wikipedia entry. He is most famous for being the original investor in ICQ, but he's also invested in over 60 other companies.
I spoke with Yossi this week and asked him about his investment approach. He generally invests in young entrepreneurs and only takes common stock. If someone has failed before he's even more likely to invest – "It makes them want to win even more," he said. He generally doesn't look at business plans at all, and just invests in the individual.
I am not nearly as eloquent as Roosevelt or as smart as Vardi, but the words ring true to me, and it was a very special moment at the conference when Vardi spoke about this. If you are an entrepreneur (or think you may be), forget the critics (even us) and the naysayers and just do what your heart tells you to do. You may be wasting your time, but at least you got into the arena. And if you fail, make sure you fail while "daring greatly." Then, get into the arena again, having learned from your mistakes.

From The Vienna Review, February 2009 In two seminal books, Eva Illouz analyses the influence of modern capitalism on love and romance. A perfect topic for Valentine's Day. Ana Tajder met Eva Illouz in Vienna.
Will you be celebrating Valentine's Day? Will you buy roses, go for a dinner in a luxury restaurant, buy a little teddy bear with a big red heart? Or will you boycott that kitschy capitalistic product of American culture, condemning it as a crass celebration consumption? Or will you simply be ambivalent? Well, don't be. As Eva Illouz shows in her two books about the impact of capitalism on romance and love, the topic is too interesting for ambivalence. Professor of Sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a member of the Center for the Study of Rationality Eva Illouz is ready to challenge the most intrenched cynic. Her earlier book, Consuming the Romantic Utopia: Love and The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism (1997) created a milestone in research of love and romance in capitalism. Following up on the topic was the 2007 Cold Intimacies: The Making of Emotional Capitalism, a sampling of her 'Adorno' lectures. Whenever you finally meet a person you had found fascinating by reputation, you will be surprised about how much bigger you often imagine them than they really are. Our brain projects the size of our fascination with the person on their physical dimensions. When I meet Eva Illouz, this surprise stretched even further, to the nature of her personality. Her books are so well researched, so strong in their analysis, conclusions, theories and findings that you expect a very powerful, maybe even insistent personality. A rock. The reality is quite different. Eva Illouz is petite, gracious, and with the most gentle expression in her huge blue eyes. Contrary to my expectation, she does not project, in fact, at all; she absorbs. Still, the gentleness of her appearance cannot hide the immense intellectual power working in the background. A lot has changed in the ten years between the two books, Illouz confessed, and with it, a major shift in perspective. "Choice!" she exclaimed. In her first book, she explained how the economic ideas of choice emancipated human relationships and gave them new possibilities. Commodities did not corrupt relationships and feelings, she believed but served as a way of enhancing and transmitting those feelings. But then came the Internet and a culture of choice. "The problem is, people don't know how to deal with choice," she said. "Studies have shown that choice creates confusion, apathy and a shift from being a satisfier, a person who is happy with good enough, to a maximizer, a person who always wants more and better. "The problem is that we do not have a natural mechanism to stop the processes of maximizing our life choices." In her lecture on Jan. 26 at the Bruno Kreisky Forum, Ambrustergasse 15, in Vienna's 19th District, Illouz analysed the disenchantment and rationalization of love that were central to the discussion in Cold Intimacies. Three cultural phenomena are principally to blame for this, she said: The Internet technology of dating sites and social networks that has exploded choice; the emergence of popular science that influences our picture of love, and second-wave feminism that blames romantic love for deepening the divide between men and women. "Feminism tore down male chivalry and female mystery, taking the enchantment out of love," claimed Illouz. So is it back to pre-18th century mode of arranged marriages? No, modern rationality is different, Illouz said. Two hundred years ago, parents made the decisions, based on a few basic criteria: good health, social class and an ability to provide. Sentiment and reason were kept safely at arms length. Today, this rationality comes from ourselves and hinges on a long list of criteria – including emotional compatibility, sexual compatibility and social compatibility. It is ideal that cannot be reached, one that gets us stuck in a rut of endless refinement. "We don't have the cultural resources to reach the ideal." Illouz says. The problem of choice cannot be emphasized often enough. While in pre-modern times, love was accidental and the object of love not subject to substitution, now the sheer volume of choice forces rational and analytic criteria. Choice also gives potential partners the characteristics of consumer goods and partners can always be "upgraded" for someone newer and better. So while choice has given us freedom, especially improving the position of women in our society, now that freedom again puts women at a disadvantage. While men still have the socio-economic power and love is still the way for women to gain a piece of this power, the disadvantage lies in the dimension of time. Men can profit from the choice their whole life long, especially if they are well situated. Women have a choice up until their early thirties.

Zion National Park Wiki
Zion Lodge is located in Zion National Park, Utah, United States. The lodge was designed in 1924 as a compromise solution between its developer, the Utah Parks Company, which wanted a large hotel, and National Park Service director Stephen Mather, who desired smaller-scale development. The Utah Parks Company had been formed in 1923 as a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Railroad, and was, like many similar programs, intended to stimulate passenger rail traffic to the national parks of southwest Utah.
Gilbert Stanley Underwood designed the Zion Lodge as part of a series of similar structures for the Utah Parks Company at the north rim of the Grand Canyon and at Bryce Canyon National Park. Underwood's design was more modest in scale and detailing than those at the Grand Canyon and Bryce, substituting milled lumber for whole logs in a "studs-out" style. Underwood used less stonework, in smaller pieces. The structures were designed to be more in keeping with the character of the valley floor, which at the time of construction was still inhabited by settlers. Underwood would go on to design all of the Utah Parks Company buildings in the valley, many of which are included in the Zion Lodge Historic District, which surrounds the lodge.
A fire in 1966 destroyed the original lodge. It was rebuilt within 100 days, but the original rustic look was lost in favor of expedience in reopening the lodge. A 1990 remodel restored its original look.
In addition to the main lodge building there are a number of original buildings that remain in the lodge complex. This includes guest cabins built in 1927 and 1929, employee dormitories built in 1927 and 1937, and a few support buildings. All were designed by Underwood.

There's a new C. diff in town and it's a superbug designed to kill with ease. There's also a new federal healthcare law rolling in that's stripping away the very defenses hospitals may have to fight it — money.
Mark Heller, president of Hygiene Performance Solutions Inc., a North American consulting firm devoted to helping hospital environmental services agencies improve their cleaning programs, says his clients are seeing occupancy go up as budgets go down because the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is pulling the excess out of the system.
NBC's "Meet the Press" recently invited Dr. Toby Cosgrove, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, to discuss the ACA's impact on hospitals. His comments mirrored Heller's.
His words presented both a warning and a solution to hospitals facing ACA-brought financial challenges. Improving efficiency is the goal hospital environmental services departments must fixate on.
The reality is the impact of the ACA is already being felt across the nation, as hospitals look to every department, including environmental services, to trim their costs. The 886-bed Mercy Hospital Springfield, Mo., for instance, is already feeling the pinch of budget constraints caused by reduced reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA, reports Environmental Services Director Douglas Green.
But while some may be wringing their hands over the financial conundrum they face, Green is not one of them. He believes that in spite of budgetary constraints, hospitals still must meet the standards set by the Hospital Care Assurance Program (HCAP), and without funding, improving efficiency is the only way they can.
"You have to look at where you can be more efficient, and ways to improve while leaving patient care alone," he says.

The Special Rapporteur on Torture to the United Nations (UN), Manfred Nowak, has recently released a statement in which he identifies acid burning attacks as part of the broader category of violence against women, and also as a form of torture. Nowak articulated that gender-based violence qualifies as a form of torture because it is always discriminatory and often involves various degrees of powerlessness on the part of the victim. The language of the Convention against Torture explicitly extends the states' responsibilities to torture occurring in the private sphere.
Women who are victims of acid throwing often suffer such attacks at the hands of husbands and ex-husbands. They regularly experience depression or anxiety as a result, and many suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder similar to victims of state torture. Studies have shown that identifying acid attacks as a type of torture reduces some of the stigma experienced by victims of intimate partner violence.

Wharton man charged with dislodging eyeball of drunk man Wanted suspect Tyson Coney held on charge of dislodging man's eyeball from eye socket Check out this story on dailyrecord.com: http://dailyre.co/1AcrYH5

Tyson G. Coney has been arrested in connection with an alleged aggravated assault in the early morning hours of Feb. 13 at the Dover Train Station.(Photo: Courtesy of Morris County Sheriff's Office CrimeStoppers)
A Wharton resident who was the subject of a Morris County Sheriff's Office CrimeStoppers alert has been caught by Morristown police and was being held Thursday for allegedly dislodging an intoxicated man's eyeball out of its socket at the Dover Train Station.
The Sheriff's Office on Feb. 13 issued a CrimeStoppers notice that asked for the public's help in locating Tyson G. Coney, 28, and last known to live in Wharton. Coney was wanted in connection with an alleged aggravated assault in the early morning hours of Feb. 13 on a 44-year-old man -- described as intoxicated and defenseless -- outside the Dover Train Station.
Criminal complaints filed in Superior Court, Morristown, show that Coney was apprehended early on Thursday. He is accused of attacking "an intoxicated, defenseless" man on Feb. 13, causing the victim's right eye to become dislodged from the eye socket. The assault caused "severe trauma" to the area around the victim's right eye, according to complaints against Coney signed by Dover Detective Ronald Camacho.
An official at the Morris County jail said that Morristown police brought Coney early Thursday to the jail, where he is being held on $50,000 bail. Town Detective Lt. Stuart Greer said that Coney was in a vehicle stopped by police, who discovered the active arrest warrant out of Dover.
Dover police on Feb. 13 responded to the train station on a report of an assault found the victim lying on the ground unconscious. He was brought to Morristown Medical Center, where he underwent surgery for his injury.
Coney previously was convicted in Morris County and sentenced in 2006 to seven years in prison for snatching purses from two women in a Cattano Avenue parking lot in Morristown in 2005 and smashing a third woman in the head with a 24-ounce bottle of beer in the same lot before running away with her purse.
The three robberies occurred within a three-week period in the winter of 2005. The three victims lost small amounts of cash and were able to replace credit cards and identifying documents. But one victim lost the rosary beads she carried that were blessed by the late Pope John Paul II, according to trial testimony.

Psalms 127:3 states, "Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovah." On April 1, 1921, Alfredo H. Watson Jr. came into the world as a gift from Jehovah God to his parents Alfredo H. Watson Sr. and Irene Watson. Alfredo was the sixth child of that marital bond which produced eight children. On June 1, 1941, at the age of 20, Alfredo Watson Jr. dedicated his life to Jehovah God and symbolized that dedication by water baptism. This marked the beginning of over 70 years of faithful and loyal service to Jehovah God until his death on February 17, 2012. Alfredo obtained a Law degree from Southwestern University, School of Law, Los Angles, CA. He practiced Law in both Los Angles and Sacramento, CA. He also worked as an accountant for the State of California. After retiring from his law practice in Sacramento, CA, he became a high school teacher until he moved to Atlanta in 2005. However, Alfredo's primary vocation was serving his Grand Creator Jehovah God. Thus, he enjoyed sharing with others his bible-based hope of living forever in God's righteous new world to come. Alfredo leaves to cherish his memory, a sister, Josephine Thomas who lives in England; numerous nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, and a large family of spiritual brothers and sisters who will miss him dearly.

Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology
Professor Emeriti
Uppsala University Department of Medical ... Research areas
Research at the department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology (IMBIM) broadly spans the areas of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, tumour biology, comparative genetics, functional genomics, immunology, bacteriology, and virology. The research is essentially basic, but with relevance and application in health and disease in both animals and humans.
IMBIM also harbours Uppsala Antibiotic Center (UAC) Uppsala Zoonosis Center (ZSC) and parts of the SciLabLab bioinformatics platform.
The area of protein chemistry focuses on protein folding, interaction, and how enzymes function. Research in molecular cell and tumour biology focuses on mechanisms that regulate cell growth, survival and differentiation and how insufficient control can lead to cancer development. The glycobiology section studies the structure, synthesis and function of proteoglycans during normal development and in various pathological conditions. The research also includes communication with surrounding tissues, including inflammatory processes and the ability of tumour cells to escape the immune system, regulate vasculature and metastasis.
Research groups in the field
Infections and defences
Research in bacteriology concerns how bacteria can adapt to changes in the environment, such as the presence of antibiotics, and how bacteria interact with the infected tissue. Within the field of virology, the aim is to understand how virus can take command of cellular processes and evade the antiviral activities of the infected cell. The immunology section focuses on the function of mast cells in allergic reactions, but also for other pathological conditions. Immunological research also studies the importance of antigen-specific antibodies in basic immune regulation, autoimmune diseases and allergies.
Comparative genetics and functional genomics have as overall objectives to explain how genetic variation can explained biological patterns in health and disease. Different animal models (e.g. hens, pigs, dogs, horses, fish and bees) are used to compare evolution and inheritance of traits and diseases. Prediction of risk factors and future evolutionary events are studies using computational genomics.

September 29, 2009 • Over the past year, top warlords from Colombia's once-fearsome paramilitary movement have been extradited to the United States on drug-trafficking charges. But some Colombians — and the country's high court — say those extraditions are preventing them from testifying about atrocities at home.

Curvy Kili Crew Bisa had been planning the trip of a lifetime since 2017—until the government shutdown put a wrench in her plan.
Bisa Myles has been planning her hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro with the Curvy Kili Crew since 2017, but as an employee of the federal government, the recent government shutdown almost took away the trip she's been looking forward to and training for these past few years. Read on to learn all about Bisa's story below!
The latest government shutdown lasted a total of 35 days. While some people didn't realize it was going on or heard about it in passing, for government employees like myself this has become an all-too-familiar event. We had already been furloughed twice in 2018 alone. Unfortunately, this type of occurrence could happen regularly. The government does not operate like an everyday business—all of the money is controlled and the agencies are given a budget that is funded every year or until a specified date. If a new budget is not agreed upon, they enter something called a continuing resolution. If neither is approved, the government has a lapse in payments. Depending on which branch of government you work for, you are not allowed to work or are required to work without pay. As for me, I was sent home without pay until further notice.
I had never dreamed of working for the government. After my cousin died and I became guardian to her three children under the age of eight, 12 years ago, it quickly became apparent that I couldn't raise three kids alone while working 60 hour weeks at my corporate job. I knew a couple of people who had made the switch from corporate to government positions who suggested that I apply for one. They encouraged me to make the choice by explaining that the flexible work schedule, health benefits, and job security would be the right fit for me and my new family. I agreed that this would be a smart choice, and as soon as there were available positions, I applied and left the corporate rat race.
By the end of 2019, I hoped to be an empty-nester. The two oldest already graduated from high school and have or will be moving out soon. That leaves only me and the youngest, Mariah, who will be graduating from high school this June.

I've been working for the government for almost ten years now. I was not around for the shutdown in 1995-96 that lasted 21 days. However, I was a government employee during the 2013 shutdown that went on for 16 days, so I had an understanding of what a shutdown could mean for me. When the lapse in funding started on December 21, 2018, right before the Christmas holiday, I didn't feel the impact right away. It just felt like I was on Christmas vacation along with Mariah. It wasn't until after the New Year when I received a pay stub with zeros, and the usual biweekly deposit didn't happen, that it started to sink in. I wasn't getting paid.
At this point, we were around the 22-day mark, surpassing the length of the shutdown in 2013. Not only was this was going to be the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, but there wasn't a sign of it ending any time soon. I was starting to feel very stressed because my trip to Tanzania to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro with the Curvy Kili Crew was only two months away. News outlets were predicting the shutdown could last until March or longer. If it lasted that long, it would run right into prom and graduation seasons. We hadn't even started looking for dresses. Despite what people think, government employees like me find out our fates at the same time as the rest of the world thanks to the media coverage. I became obsessed with reading various news outlets online and traded articles with other furloughed employees.
Hiking Swallow Cliff, Bisa trains for the adventure of a lifetime.
I had been saving and training for this trip to Tanzania for over a year. Although employees could file to collect unemployment, it was not going to cover all of my expenses. If this event was going to last until March 2019 like predicted, I was going to have to make the hard decision to potentially cancel my trip altogether and borrow money. Although I had invested a lot of time and money on this trip, I couldn't leave knowing that I could potentially run out of money and even lose the house. I checked my balances regularly to see if I could afford to do both. Most of the trip was already paid for including the plane tickets and most of my accommodations. With some gear still left to buy, I kept checking the list to see if there was anything I could I do without. Day by day, I was losing hope that the shutdown would be over before my departure date of February 25.
Some of my family and friends asked if I needed anything. I knew if things got bad, I could rely on them for help. But, how could I keep making plans for a three-week international trip with so much uncertainty looming around me? If I go, I'd be neglecting my responsibilities here. Could I spend money to travel with a good conscience, while knowing that I'm just a couple of payments away from having no lights if this shutdown continued another three to six months longer?
I felt horrible hearing some of the stories of government employees who couldn't fill their prescriptions for insulin and other needed drugs. Some people had to visit food banks to make sure their families had enough food. I am fortunate that I was able to survive the 35 days without seeking help. Whether I was going to Tanzania or not, I was unsure how long I could survive without pay. I had started to look at part-time work to earn extra money. But, I am not allowed to accept a job that could compete with my current profession in accounting which limited me finding any position that could utilize my 20+ years of experience.
A friend of mine asked me if I had a date in mind of when I was going to decide whether I was going to cancel my trip or not. I told her I didn't because I was holding out hope that it was going to end before. Then on January 25, 35 days after the shutdown began, the members of Congress made a deal. Although the funding is only until February 15, 2019, I could put away enough money to ensure the family is taken care of while I was gone and let out a sigh of relief.
Bisa during her battle with breast cancer in 2016.
Since we have been back to work, there have been a lot of employees retiring earlier, and others are finding new jobs outside of the government. I've been thinking about doing the same thing for a while now. Not only because of the instability of the position, but I'm ready to move to a new state and downsize from our four-bedroom house to a one or two-bedroom apartment. On the surface this plan seems practical, but the stability that the government used to provide me is being threatened more and more every year. Being diagnosed with breast cancer presents another set of problems I would not have considered before. I now have a pre-existing condition. Since I had medial insurance prior to the diagnosis, I am covered. But if I were to leave my current position now, I'd risk losing my coverage and being forced to pay higher rates.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I return from Tanzania. I hope to find some answers while I sit quietly on the top of the mountain. Over the next three weeks, I will focus on making sure I have enough layers to wear during those cold nights, making sure I pack enough snacks, and putting together a playlist that can cheer me up when I'm down. 2019 didn't start the way I had expected it to, but I have a feeling it's going to be my best year yet.

This past week the Trump administration and its Canadian and Mexican partners wrapped up the third round of North American Free Trade Agreement renegotiation in Ottawa. The fourth round is set for Oct. 11-15 in Washington. So, are the NAFTA talks on track? It's difficult to judge such things, but the short answer is no.
From the start, the participants set an informal but very ambitious goal of concluding by the end of the year. This was because both Mexican presidential elections and U.S. midterm races loom in 2018. The Mexicans made particularly clear that they thought it would be unhelpful to be discussing NAFTA renegotiation in the midst of their campaign.
As with most trade negotiations, the participants have tackled easier issues first and postponed the more difficult ones. Thus, one can be thankful the talks have not blown up, but this says little about how the more intractable issues ahead will go.
There was a subtler indication recently that something important was off in the timing. On Sept. 22, the Trump administration notified Congress that it might make changes to "trade remedy" laws in these negotiations. Such trade remedy procedures include "anti-dumping" or "countervailing duty" actions. In general, they involve a private company filing a complaint alleging unfair foreign competition. The Boeing case against Bombardier is one recent example.
The filing matters because the tempo of U.S. trade talks is ultimately set by legislation known as "Trade Promotion Authority (TPA)." It sets timelines both for congressional notification during negotiations and for what happens after a deal is struck. I noted earlier that the Trump administration would have to choose between being rapid or radical on trade; they seem to have opted for the latter.
With the radical choice of reworking trade remedy laws, they triggered a special TPA requirement for 180 days notice to Congress before the new agreement could be signed. On such a schedule, a renegotiated NAFTA could not be inked until late March 2018. That poses serious timeline problems.
First, there are the political difficulties of talking NAFTA in the midst of sensitive campaigns, mentioned above. In theory, this could be overcome by concluding talks in December and then holding a signing ceremony in March. That's possible, but difficult. It leaves the agreement sitting out there, subject to criticism, and unsigned.
But suppose that works. The more serious difficulty is that signing triggers the next stages required under TPA. Most significantly, that would commence a 180-day window (ending September 2018) in which the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is required to study the effects of the renegotiated NAFTA on the U.S. economy. The ITC could move faster, but it refused to in 2016, despite some urging, when it was considering the TPP.
That sequence would leave us on the eve of Congressional midterm elections. Even should Congress then choose to begin considering the new NAFTA deal – unlikely – those considerations would not carry over from one Congress to the next (the 115th to the 116th). Thus, the lengthy consideration procedure would commence, at the earliest, in 2019. Even moving forward then assumes that both houses of Congress are still favorably disposed toward passing a Trump trade deal. And that the new Mexican president is favorably disposed.
And this was all what happened even if the parties could agree on a relatively quick deal. That's certainly not a given.
So, even before hitting the most challenging new issues, the NAFTA renegotiation appears to be on a slow and difficult track.
