HOLLYWOOD — The first call for help from the sweltering nursing home came at 3 a.m. Wednesday: a patient in cardiac arrest. An hour later came the second call, a patient struggling to breathe. Only with the third call did rescue officials begin to realize the gravity of the situation.
Rescue workers found three dead people on the second floor of the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills. By the end of the day, five more were dead, all of them vulnerable elderly, ranging in age from 70 to 99.
Police have launched a criminal investigation into the deaths, blamed on the stifling heat inside the nursing home, which lost power and air conditioning Sunday during Hurricane Irma. In question are the actions taken to protect nursing home residents from the escalating heat.
Already, serious questions are emerging:
-- Why doesn't the state require nursing homes to have generators? A total of 150 homes, out of 700 statewide, were still without power Wednesday.
-- Who truly was responsible? The nursing home says it contacted Florida Power & Light immediately when it lost power to its air conditioning. The county says FPL refused to speed up its response to senior living facilities. And FPL said the county never listed nursing homes as critical facilities in power outages.
-- Why aren't nursing homes considered critical?
The nursing home lost power at some point Sunday, when a wind-whipped tree branch knocked out a transformer that powered the air conditioning unit at the center. Nursing home officials said they called the Broward Emergency Operations Center to report the problem, which was relayed to FPL as a "mission critical" emergency.
And then, the home's administrators say, they waited.
The center's generator powered electricity and other systems, but not the air conditioner.
Elie Pina, who went to visit her 96-year-old mother at the nursing home earlier this week, said the heat was oppressive.
"It felt like 110, 115 degrees in there," Pina said. "They had patients in the hall, they were trying to take care of them."
Pina said she called FPL to report the outage four times, the last time at 11 p.m.
Four hours later, the calls started coming in to Hollywood Fire Rescue, one after another.
Rescue workers evacuated all 158 patients of the two-story facility to nearby Memorial Regional Hospital and other facilities and then summoned police. By the end of the day, a total of eight were dead:
-- Gail Nova, 70
-- Estella Hendricks, 71
-- Carolyn Eatherly, 78
-- Betty Hibbard, 84
-- Bobby Owens, 84
-- Miguel Antonio Franco, 92
-- Manuel Mario Medieta, 96
-- Albertina Vega, 99
Owens, whose room was on the second floor, was aware of his surroundings but unable to speak, said his granddaughter, Tynisha Owens, of West Park.
"We checked in on him before the storm, on Wednesday, and they told us everything was gonna be OK and that they didn't have to evacuate, that they would be fine," she said. "He was probably aware of the situation Tuesday and Wednesday. He definitely knew what was going on but couldn't call for help, because he didn't speak."
Officials expressed outrage. Gov. Rick Scott said he was demanding answers and accountability, and ordered an investigation by the Department of Children and Families. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, acting on the governor's orders, placed an emergency moratorium on Hollywood Hills, preventing the facility from accepting new patients until further notice.
Broward Mayor Barbara Sharief acknowledged that center officials reported the outage to the county Tuesday, but she said they gave no indication that a loss of life was imminent.
"At that time the emergency team asked Hollywood Hills if they had any medical needs or emergencies," she said in an interview with the Sun Sentinel. "And they said they did not. And they did not request assistance or indicate that any medical emergency existed.
The center is currently rated two stars in Medicare's five-star ranking system. It has one star regarding health inspections.
The owner and the administrator of the center issued a statement Wednesday evening denying any negligence.
Jorge Carballo, the nursing home administrator, said the center's staff "set up mobile cooling units and fans to cool the facility. Our staff continually checked on our residents' well-being — our most important concern — to ensure they were hydrated and as comfortable as possible."
Owner Jack Michel was accused in 2004 of federal and state health care fraud charges, according to the Department of Justice. He and three others eventually settled the case.
He declined to comment on the deaths Wednesday, instead issuing a joint statement by e-mail with Carballo.
FPL spokesman Ron Gould said nursing homes are not defined as critical facilities in the plan the county gives FPL for restoring power — meaning they are not the first to have power restored.
"We met with Broward in early March. This facility was not listed as a top-tier critical infrastructure facility," he said.
Regulators do not require nursing homes like Hollywood Hills to have generators. In Florida, nursing homes can comply with licensing regulations as long as they have "alternate forms of power," said Kristen Knapp, spokeswoman for the Florida Health Care Association. That could include battery-operated fans, she said.
New federal nursing home regulations that will go into effect in November mandate, among other things, that safe indoor temperatures be maintained during power outages. But the rules — which come 12 years after 35 elderly people died in a New Orleans-area nursing home during Hurricane Katrina — also fail to specifically require generators.
State Sen. Gary Farmer, whose district includes the center, said the county is now checking with every nursing home and every assisted living facility every two hours to find out if it has power.
Patients from a behavioral unit of another nearby facility, the Larkin Community Hospital, were also evacuated, officials said.
Sharief said she's been concerned about the lack of power to facilities that are home to the elderly and others particularly vulnerable to the heat. The mayor said that she and County Administrator Bertha Henry pressed FPL. on Tuesday to expedite power restoration to such facilities.
FPL, Sharief said, responded that there were too many facilities to do that.

Wilcox clings onto OK Dinghy World Ranking No 1 as fleet prepares for World Championship
As the 100-plus strong OK Dinghy heads into next week's World Championship in Puck, Poland, Greg Wilcox (NZL) continues to lead the World Rankings, though his lead has been reduced to just 15 points from Jørgen Svendsen (DEN). Mike Williams (AUS) is a long way behind in third. So the top three remain the same.
The July release marks the seventh consecutive time that Wilcox had headed up the rankings, which now numbers 446 sailors from 15 nations. This release includes results from the Spring Cup in Medemblik, the Nordics in Præstø, Denmark, Kiel Week and Warnemunde Week.
While Wilcox took third in both the Spring Cup and Warnemunde, Svendsen has not reached the podium in any ranking event this year. The Australians in the next three are still cruising on the results of their domestis events down under, with only Mark Jackson (AUS) of this trio heading up to Poland for the worlds.
Charlie Cumbley (GBR) is probably the biggest riser, moving up from 260th to 114th. Along the way he collected victories at the Spring Cup and at Kiel Week, and looks set to be one of the favourites for next week's World Championship. The Nordics were won by former European Champion Bo Petersen (DEN), while Warnemunde Week was won by another former European Champion, Martin von Zimmermann (GER).
An interesting development over the past year is the increase in the weighting of European Regattas. The weighting of each regatta is based on the number of top ranked sailors competing. Historically the Kiwi and Australian sailors performed well enough to attract a high weighting at their domestic events, but there is a recent trend that the European weightings are increasing. Just a few years ago most European events had a competitive weighting of 1.1 to 1.2. Now many of them are 1.3 to 1.4. This might sound boring but it reflects the dramatic increase in good sailors coming into the class as well as the number of top European sailors travelling to major events. Most large events are attracting 50 plus entries and are becoming increasingly competitive, while as already stated, the worlds has attracted well over 100 entries after opening it up to more sailors.
The next release will be after the World Championship and the various European national events.

The first photos of George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin since they tied the knot in Italy have emerged, showing the happy couple proudly displaying their new wedding rings.
George’s spokesperson confirmed on Saturday evening that he and Amal were now married, after holding a lavish wedding at Venice’s seven star Aman Canal Grande Hotel.
The newlyweds were seen smiling for photographers as they left the hotel by boat, posing together and showing off their new wedding bands.
No photos of the top human rights lawyer’s wedding dress have been seen yet, although George was photographed arriving at the venue looking his usual suave and handsome self on Saturday in a simple tuxedo.
Among the famous guests at their wedding include Vogue editor Anna Wintour, George’s ‘Oceans Eleven’ co-star Matt Damon and supermodel Cindy Crawford, whose husband, Rande Gerber, acted as best man to the Oscar-winning actor.
Following their wedding this weekend, it’s thought that the pair are planning a second civil ceremony on Monday, which will officially make them a married couple.
The Academy Award winner first let slip that he was going to be walking down the aisle in Venice during a speech at the Celebrity Fight Night event earlier this month, where he also expressed his excitement to get married, telling Amal: “I love you very much and I can’t wait to be your husband.”

Ethan Vessels
NBTA – Board Certified Civil Trial Advocate
You cannot afford to hire the wrong lawyer. The stakes are too high.
Most cases settle. Will yours? And on what terms? Can your lawyer take your case to court if necessary? Or will you be forced to submit to an unfair settlement, or worse?
No client wants to go to court, but to get a fair settlement, your lawyer must prepare as though there will be no settlement. You must have an advocate who has stood and argued in court many times – and does it well. A trial lawyer.
Ethan is a trial lawyer. He has recovered over $80 million for his clients in the last decade.
Ethan is one of only 82 National Board of Trial Advocacy board-certified civil trial specialists recognized by the Ohio Supreme Court. This board certification involves strict requirements to establish courtroom experience, background checks, confirmation from judges and fellow lawyers, along with passing a rigorous written examination. In 2018, Ethan was inducted into the American Board of Trial Advocates, one of 125 in Ohio.
Ethan regularly defends trial court victories on appeal. He has argued twice in the Ohio Supreme Court, once before the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and dozens of times in the various Ohio appellate courts. He has also defended a Wood County jury verdict in the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.
Ethan has also been recognized in 2016, 2017, and 2018 for inclusion in the Thomson Reuters SuperLawyers list, which annually recognizes no more than the top 5% of practicing attorneys in Ohio.
He is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an organization of trial lawyers whose membership is limited to attorneys who have won verdicts or negotiated settlements of $1 million or greater.
In 2018, Ethan was recognized by America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators for Ohio. To be selected, an attorney must have litigated a matter with at least $2 million in alleged damages or involved in the fate of a company worth at least $2 million.
Ethan limits his practice exclusively to high-stakes civil cases with significant damage, primarily cases involving: serious personal injury, wrongful death, insurance disputes, employee benefits litigation, oil and gas litigation, and business litigation. He usually represents the little guy against the big guy. In most cases, he prefers to work on a contingent fee, sharing the financial risks of litigation with his clients.
Ethan regularly tries cases throughout Southeast Ohio, West Virginia, and the Mid-Ohio Valley. He has secured several large verdicts in recent years:
- $600,000 judgment after a bench trial against perpetrator of a fraudulent health plan re-insurance scheme
- $516,000 jury verdict in Ironton, Ohio – the largest-ever personal injury verdict in Lawrence County
- $389,000 jury verdict in Marietta, Ohio on behalf of a commercial landowner whose property had been taken by the state
- $287,500 jury verdict in Marietta, Ohio on behalf of a client who suffered a mild brain injury
- Jury verdict in Wood County, West Virginia recovering a financial account worth over $240,000
Ethan is licensed to practice in Ohio and West Virginia, including all of the federal district courts in each state, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He regularly practices in the various state and federal appellate courts, including the Ohio Supreme Court and West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.

pets, postaday2016, sweaters
It is bitterly cold outside, that’s why Lulu and Jack are wearing their sweaters, I tried to put Stanley’s sweater on him and it got stuck halfway though, it seems he outgrew his sweater weeks ago.
It has only been a few weeks since this picture and that sweater was fairly loose back then, now I can’t even put his second front leg into the sleeve.
I’m not quite sure when to start buying sweaters for Stanley, he is growing exponentially for a dog. Lol
How can anyone feel blue when you have pets around.

Are you looking for ways to maximize and earn money from your web site? Why don’t you try promoting products and services on your page?
Affiliate marketing is a performance marketing system that allows any web site owner, brand influencer, social media rock star (or rising star) like you, to earn money. You simply need to refer your readers, viewers, listeners and friends to a particular product or service, and you get a cut for it.
Blogging about an item or putting ads on your page may sound easy, you still need to be careful about choosing the right affiliate programs to trust. You have to make sure you are not promoting the wrong brand or linking up with a disreputable firm.
Finding a Reliable Partner
Today, locating affiliate programs is easier with search engines. By simply typing the keyword “affiliate program” or your “niche + affiliate program” you can instantly browse through hundreds of affiliate marketing opportunities online.
Although you can join any of these programs, it is vital that you still choose the ones related to your niche and your audience. Review the products or services they offer and make sure you understand or know how to use them.
Moreover, dig into their affiliate program. Do they have an affiliate manager who you can easily communicate with your concerns? Can they record and report your earnings and commissions well? What tools do they use in tracking sales?
Affiliate marketing, indeed, is not easy as what it seems. Sure, you will have a hard time finding credible affiliate programs as frauds are all over the Web.
To help you, below are tips on how you can find the “trusted” programs without any hassle:
- Look for leading affiliate networks. Since big brands trust them, you will not have to worry about their reputation. These online ad firms often operate worldwide as well.
- Check out your online rivals. See which businesses your rivals promote. Monitor the site to know how long they have been partners.
- Check out directories and read reviews. There are directories that list affiliate programs. Don’t just trust the list but read, too, what others are saying about them. You may also join forums.
There’s no harm in trusting indie or in-house programs. Quit if you’re dissatisfied.
When looking for affiliate programs, consider promoting something that you love.
Let our team work with you in finding one of our awesome clients to be a part of who you promote! Visit AffiliateMission.com to know more!

The Standard at Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Summary
Late-night study and drinking coffee go hand-in-hand and The Standard at Atlanta fuels both with a built-in, drive-thru urban Starbucks—one of the first in the country—anchoring a 19-story, mixed-use housing development serving Georgia Tech students. NBA’s architecture takes full advantage of the midtown Atlanta site as cascading outdoor terraces provide sweeping views of the city skyline and university campus, and the firm’s interior design makes the units feel more like luxury apartments than student housing. Thoughtful landscaping provides street-level transparency, maximizes pedestrian engagement and promotes walkability. The high-rise tower consists of 257 furnished residential units and 10,783 sf of commercial space. Totaling 40,467 sf, the elevated rooftop amenity deck is the largest in Atlanta, boasting a resort-style swimming pool, mini putting green and BBQ areas.

. This extraordinary sale, catalogued as it is each year by Wyatt Houston Day, features items dating back to the 18th century through the modern civil rights era, and highlights the contributions of black artists, writers, musicians, educators, statesmen, athletes and more.
The lot with the highest pre-sale estimate is an archive of 97 letters signed by George Washington Carver, to his friend Mrs. Sophie Liston, who met Carver in his first year at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. The letters—written from 1925 to 1937—cover various topics including agricultural lecture tours, racism, conditions during the Great Depression, Tuskegee Institute life, the Christian Science Church, national government policy, polio treatments, massage and oil therapy, painting and gardening, and most come with their original envelopes. The pre-sale estimate is $80,000 to $120,000.
Two extraordinary archives related to slavery and abolition are also featured. The first is a large collection of manuscript and printed matter from the Bourne Family, 1793-1919, which includes minister, journalist and abolitionist George Bourne’s original 48-page manuscript for his Anti-Slavery Lecture delivered in Newburyport, Massachusetts on July 4th, 1837, copious correspondence, two manuscript accounts of Bourne’s meeting with Thomas Paine in 1804, and a large amount of material related to his son Theodore Bourne, African emigration and the African Civilization Society ($40,000 to $60,000).
Offering a glimpse into the business of working plantations is a collection of papers spanning nearly a century from the Arthur G. Rose and Charles Bulow Plantations of South Carolina, 1812-90s. There are 14 different slave-sale documents both printed and handwritten; a diary, seven bank books and stock certificates; correspondence regarding Rose family and Bulow family interests; receipts for sales and purchases and ephemera ($15,000 to $25,000).
Other related items include a brochure for an 1859 estate sale held by Charleston slave dealers Porcher and Baya, advertising 229 Rice Field Negroes ($10,000 to $15,000); a contemporary oil painting after George Morland’s famous anti-slavery image The Slave Trade, Great Britain, circa 1791-1800 ($30,000 to $40,000); and sheet music for The Fugitive’s Song, Words Composed and respectfully dedicated in token of confident esteem to Frederick Douglass . . . written by Jesse Hutchinson, of The Hutchinson Family Singers, a touring act that performed anti-slavery songs, Boston, 1845 ($7,500 to $10,000).
An outstanding military section features selections from the collection of the late William Gladstone, the preeminent scholar on the Colored Troops of the American Civil War and author of United States Colored Troops 1863-1867 and Men of Color. Highlights of his collection include a fine example of a rare recruitment broadside seeking colored troops, All Slaves Were Made Freemen by Abraham Lincoln, President of The United States, January 1st 1863, chromolithograph, likely from Philadelphia, 1863 ($15,000 to $20,000); the iconic carte-de-visite image of Escaped Slave Private Gordon, showing his badly beaten and scarred back, circa 1864 ($8,000 to $10,000); and an American flag with stenciled lettering reading “Andersonville Prison Survivors Assoc. Lest We Forget,” which commemorated the 69 black prisoners who survived the Confederate military prison known as “Camp Sumter” ($5,000 to $7,500).
Another noteworthy flag related to the Civil War is a circa 1915 survivor’s reunion flag for the 5th Regiment, with the lettering “U.S. Colored Troops Survivor Reunion, Columbus Ohio” ($7,000 to $10,000).
The sale is rich in material related to Harlem resident Marcus Garvey, and features the original manuscript for the second edition of The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, assembled and edited by Amy Jacques Garvey, the leader’s second wife and amanuensis, New York City, 1921-25 ($10,000 to $15,000).
There are more than 30 lots of material regarding the Black Panther Party, including iconic posters and scarce fliers, as well as two groups of items related to the arrest and trial of Angela Davis, one a collection of hand-painted broadsides, petitions and postcards from Davis’s East German supporters ($3,000 to $4,000), the other a group of 25 items including press photos and magazines ($1,000 to $1,500).
An exceptional collection of Pullman Porter material—the most complete Swann has ever offered—features nearly all of the equipment needed by a porter, such as a ticket puncher, uniform and step stool, plus personal identification, 1920s to 1960s ($15,000 to $25,000).
Among the music memorabilia is an early poster for The Original Nashville Students, Chicago, 1886 ($5,000 to $7,500); sixteen bars of untitled original music written in pencil by John Coltrane, circa late 1950s ($1,500 to $2,500); and a Time Magazine cover signed by its cover subject, Thelonius Monk, 1964 ($1,500 to $2,500).
A theater highlight is a small but rich archive chronicling the evolution of Mississippi Rainbow, a comedy written for an all-black cast by white playwright John Charles Brownell, which includes a copy of the script, correspondence, photographs and some ephemera, 1927-1961 ($6,000 to $9,000), while a section devoted to film features posters for Bill Pickett, World’s Greatest Colored Champion, “The Bull-Dogger,” 1921 ($7,500 to $10,000) and a Czech version of Zou Zou starring Josephine Baker, circa 1934 ($8,000 to $12,000).
Fodder for a great film, no doubt, is a collection of items from American track and field athlete of the 1930s Eulace Peacock, often referred to as the “Fastest Man on Earth.” He was Jesse Owens’s chief rival, and beat Owens five times in the trials running up to the 1936 Olympics, where he was unable to compete due to an injury. The archive contains gold, silver and bronze medals, correspondence, newspaper clippings, programs, the passport he would have used to travel to Berlin, his 1932 and 1933 high school yearbooks and more ($10,000 to $15,000).
From the 18th century is an exceptional copy of Benjamin Banneker’s Almanack and Ephemeric for the Year of our Lord, 1793, an exceedingly rare work from the self-taught astronomer, mathematician, surveyor and author ($10,000 to $15,000).
Wow, the auction will take place on Thursday, March 27 at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The items will be on public exhibition at Swann Galleries on Saturday, March 22, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and Monday, March 24 through Wednesday, March 26,.

New Route 4
Ballymun
City Centre
St. Vincent's Hospital
Blackrock Main Street
Dublin Bus launched new route 4 from Ballymun via O' Connell Street to St. Vincent's Hospital on Sunday 12th March 2006.
Route 4 is being operated by Harristown Garage just up the road from Ballymun, using some of the 20 strong Volvo B7LA's with Wrights Fusion articulated single deckers (
AW class
).
AW 6
( 00 D 65006 ) is seen above at the first stop at Ballymun about to operate the first ever service @ 10:00 hours.

, AV 382.
While route 10 is now almost exclusively operated by the ALX400 AV class, the 20 strong AW bendi's were allocated to the 10 route until they were deemed to cumbersome for the route & transferred back to euro duties at newly opened
Harristown Garage
in Winter 2004.
AW 6 rests at Nutley Lane opposite St Vincent's Hospital. The terminus arrangements at the hospital had not been finalised when route 4 was launched, so the buses continued up to the top Nutley Lane past the RTE Studios, turning left onto the Stillorgan dual carriageway & right over the Belfield flyover before heading back. Eventually route 4 services will enter the hospital grounds from Nutley Lane, heading along a new roadway & back out onto the Merrion Road.
Well done to George, the first driver on the new route for skillfully driving & putting up with the various photo stops.
AW 3 is seen at the main Belfield bus interchange, resting between departures & an appreciated photocall.
AW 3 was aptly the 3rd board on the 4 today.
Offside shot of AW 17 ( 00 D 65017 ) on the Stillorgan dual carriageway.
Route 4 is designed to compliment routes 11 & 13 groups on the Northside, particularly the heavy student traffic to/ from Dublin City University, while on the southside route 7 to Ballsbridge & along the Merrion Road.
With a weekday peak time frequency of 15 minutes, allot of resources have been ploughed into route 4, given that it just overlaps existing bus services & not to some new destination.
Could this finally be a niche for the much unwanted AW class since their backfire on route 10 ???.
Phibsboro Garage ALX 400 AV 279 ( 02 D 20279 ) passes by AW 17 resting between departures on the Stillorgan dual carriageway, just past the Belfield flyover. The presence of the 4 is only a temporary sighting here as the route will soon terminate shorter at St Vincent's Hospital & officially the last stop is still outside the hospital.

Route 4 was extended on the southern end from St Vincents Hospital to Blackrock villiage, via Merrion Road & Booterstown in May 2007. Its last set down stop is in Blackrock village at the post office, with the first northbound stop outside the Frascatti Shopping Centre.
EV 46, an Enviro400 is seen operating route 4 at the O' Connell Bridge stop on the 6th March 2008.

Coriolis For Natural Gas Measurement
Coriolis meters have gained worldwide acceptance in liquid applications since the early 1980’s with an installed base of more than 400,000 units. Newer designs have increased low-flow sensitivity, lowered pressure drop, and increased noise immunity enabling performance characteristics that are similar or better than traditional metering technologies. Coriolis also has attributes that no other fluid measurement technology can achieve. Some of these attributes are the meter’s immunity to flow disturbances, fluid compositional change, and it contains no wearing parts. With more than 25,000 meters measuring gas phase fluids around the world, many national and international measurement organizations are investigating and writing industry reports and measurement standards for the technology

He was the first member of Congress to announce a positive test result for COVID-19. Now, Mario Diaz-Balart is giving back.
"I've been very fortunate. I was able to go through this and defeat
this without ending up in the hospital, without having major complications. And
I figured, what else can I do to help? And this is one way that we can
help and potentially save a life."
The Republican Congressman who represents South Florida says, as soon as he recovered from the coronavirus, he wanted to find a way to help those who were having a harder time battling the virus than he did. His COVID-19 antibodies in his plasma have the potential to help people fighting the virus.
"When I knew that I had the possibility of giving plasma after having gone through the virus, I called Mayor Suarez of the city of Miami and I said, what's the way that you did it? What do you think is the most efficient and quickest way to do that? And he directed me to OneBlood."
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez was the first person in Florida to become a COVID-19 convalescent plasma donor. Now,
Congressman Diaz-Balart is following in his footsteps.
Congressman Diaz-Balart says, "Giving plasma, giving blood is such an easy thing to do and yet it can make such a huge difference to people out there who
are really struggling with this very dangerous virus."
The Congressman's wife donated alongside him. She did not have coronavirus but is a regular blood donor with OneBlood.
She says, "When our child was in the hospital and had open-heart surgery, other people donated blood
and helped save his life. It's a simple thing I try to do and I hope others will do the same."
The Congressman says, "The folks at OneBlood make you feel
at home. They do it professionally. Literally right now they're doing the
whole process of extracting the plasma from my blood and I don't feel anything."
It's potentially life-saving plasma he hopes will help someone battling COVID-19 recover from the virus.
"It's a horrific tragedy for the thousands and thousands of families who have lost loved ones. For those who
are struggling through this., I'm just grateful for OneBlood, for the amazing professionals here who are here doing their job.
Again, potentially to save other people's lives."
And he has a message for anyone who has fought COVID-19 and won."I ask anybody who's been as lucky as me, who has been able to beat the virus, come donate blood, come donate your plasma. It could help save a life."

In response to worries that the National Labor Relations Board was protecting free speech insufficiently, particularly during representation election campaigns, Congress amended the National Labor Relations Act in 1947 to include section 8(c), which imposes broad restrictions on the Board’s ability to regulate speech under its unfair labor practice authority. The efficacy of that provision, however, is limited severely by the Board’s “laboratory conditions doctrine,” famously announced in General Shoe Corp., which expressly authorizes expansive regulation of representation election campaign speech under another of the Board’s statutory powers. In this Note, Shawn Larsen-Bright challenges the use of the laboratory conditions doctrine to regulate otherwise protected speech. Larsen-Bright argues that the doctrine is in serious tension with congressional intent and cannot be reconciled with modern free speech jurisprudence. He concludes by examining and endorsing a recent case arising under the Railway Labor Act in which the D.C. Circuit similarly and persuasively rejected laboratory conditions reasoning.

Design Protection for Medical Devices
Abstract
Design patent protection maybe granted for the ornamental design of a functional item, such as a medical device, so long as the design is novel and non-obvious. Not only can design patent protection be sought for the overall appearance of a medical device, but protection can also be sought for individual components of a medical device, including graphical user interface icons. Similarly, replacement or consumable components that are designed to be used with a specific medical device could also be protected by design patents. Design patent protection is not unique to the United States. Other parts of the world also allow for unique designs that are used in industry to be legally protected, but by different means than a patent.

The parents of John Crawford III will be among those heading to Washington, D.C., on Saturday to participate in a march arising from the recent incidents of police-involved fatalities involving black men.
“The Justice For All March against Police Violence,” as it is being called by organizers, scheduled to occur at noon, will be at Freedom Plaza.
John Crawford Jr. and Tressa Sherrod will join the families of Eric Garner, Mike Brown, Akai Gurley, Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin “to stand together and shine a national spotlight on those impacted by police misconduct and unnecessary deadly force,” Tiffany Cochran Edwards, communications director for the Cochran Firm in Atlanta, said in a statement released late Thursday afternoon.
The Cochran firm represents the Crawford family. The march is being organized in conjunction with The National Action Network, led by civil rights leader and MSNBC show host the Rev. Al Sharpton.
“We believe it’s imperative for the Crawford family to be a vital part of this national conversation on police misconduct.,” family attorney Michael Wright said in a prepared statement.
John Crawford lll, 22, of Fairfield in Butler County, was shot to death Aug. 5 by Beavercreek police Officer Sean Williams at the Beavercreek Walmart.
Crawford was holding an air rifle he had picked up off a store shelf when he was shot. Williams and another officer had gone into the store on what was dispatched by police as a 911 call about a man waving a rifle. The weapon was an air rifle sold at the store.
A customer, Angela Williams, also died that night. She suffered cardiac arrest as a consequence of heart disease. The manner of her death was officially listed as homicide because of the chaotic circumstances in the store that night, according to the Greene County Coroner’s Office.
Crawford’s death occurred four days before Ferguson, Mo., police Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was unarmed. Wilson has since resigned from the police department.
Grand juries in Greene County and in Missouri declined to return indictments in those shootings. The Justice Department is continuing its federal civil rights investigation into both incidents.
These are the other deaths marchers will be protesting in Washington on Saturday:
- Tamir Rice, 12, was shot Nov. 22 in Cleveland by police Officer Timothy Loehmann, who fired twice within two seconds of arriving on scene. Police were responding to a dispatch describing a "young black male" brandishing a gun at people in the park. The gun was an Airsoft replica. Tamir died a day after he was shot.
- Akai Gurley, 26, of Brooklyn,was shot to death Nov. 20 in a darkened stairway by a rookie NYPD officer who said his gun discharged accidentally.
- Eric Garner, 43, of Staten Island, died July 17 after a New York City police officer applied a chokehold to the man. A grand jury on Dec. 3 declined to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo.
- Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot to death Feb. 26, 2012, by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, in Sanford, Fla. A jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder and manslaughter in July 2013.

Case Name : By-the-Sea Biscuit Company: A Decision in New Venture Analysis
Authors : Sherry Finney

Case ID : NA0361
Discipline : Marketing
Case Length : 14 pages
Solution Sample availability : YES
Plagiarism : NO (100% Original work)
Description for case is given below :
Paul Finney and Pat Jobe, long-time friends and future business partners, are proposing the establishment of a frozen biscuit manufacturing operation in the now defunct Clearwater Seafood plant in North Sydney, Nova Scotia. Cape Breton Innovation and Research Council (CBIRC), a private corporation, had recently assumed ownership of the plant and wanted to expand and develop local business by creating an incubator within the facility. Finney and Jobe presented a business proposal to CBIRC in August 2006 and the organization was very excited and believed the idea had promise. Finney and Jobe, although convinced of the merits of the product concept, still had some questions that needed answering before they could make a final assessment on the feasibility of the business. Both were employed full-time and the decision to leave their jobs to pursue this business was not a decision that could be made lightly. The case includes detail on the market structure and demand within the bakery/frozen dough industry. Additionally, the proposed marketing mix, selected target markets, and production/operation plans are covered in depth. Finney and Jobe now need to sift through the information and make a decision on the market size and sales potential for By-the-Sea Biscuit Company. The immediate task facing Finney and Jobe is to determine the sales potential for By-the-Sea Biscuit Company. Based on the projected sales and expenses, the partners must also make an assessment on the feasibility of the business.

The Dig on Netflix: a refreshingly accurate portrayal – according to an archaeologist
Edith Pretty was convinced that the mounds on her land in Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, held important archaeological secrets. In 1939, on the eve of the second world war, she was proven right as the sumptuous ship burial of an Anglo-Saxon king was uncovered. For a nation on the brink of war and facing its own “dark age”, the Sutton Hoo ship burial was a source of pride and inspiration, equivalent to the tomb of Tutankhamun.
Netflix’s The Dig, based on the novel of the same name by John Preston (2007), recounts the tale of this remarkable find. It transformed understanding of the “dark age” of the seventh century. Before this discovery, a dearth of written sources was presumed to signal an absence of culture in this period.
Films tend to portray archaeologists as treasure-hunters or forensic detectives – notably the Indiana Jones franchise. However, this Netflix dramatisation approaches archaeology with a new level of subtlety and accuracy, probing death, loss and memory – key themes in the archaeological study of the past.
Revealing the dead
The funerary mound contained the remains of a decayed oak ship, 27m in length, which had been dragged from the nearby River Deben to serve as a royal tomb. Over 250 artefacts revealed the sophistication of East Anglia in Anglo-Saxon times. There were riches garnered from across the known world, including silver bowls and spoons from Byzantium and gold dress accessories set with Sri Lankan garnets.
Although the body had long since disappeared, the personal regalia of a warrior-king survived, his sword, shield and ceremonial helmet. He is believed to be King Raedwald, whose reign corresponded with the early seventh-century date of the coins contained in a gold purse (c. 610-635CE).
The Dig focuses on the relationship between Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) and Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes), the local amateur excavator hired to investigate.
It draws on genuine elements of the central character’s biographies, including Pretty’s bereavement after her husband’s death and the diagnosis of her terminal illness (she died in 1942). Like many at this time, Pretty was fascinated by “spiritualism”, the idea that we can communicate with the dead through the use of a spiritual medium. Spiritualism may have spurred her archaeological patronage, just as it motivated investigations at other famous sites, especially Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset.
Turning the camera on archaeology
When the ship is revealed, Pretty and Brown are joined by “professional” archaeologists, the real-life Sutton Hoo excavation team. However, dramatic license changes their roles and ages to emphasise the hierarchical character of 1930s archaeology.
The film gives an accurate portrayal of the archaeological excavation in the 1930s, conducted using workmen with just a few skilled excavators and qualified academics. There is careful attention to archaeological detail, emphasising that the ship’s timbers had virtually disappeared, surviving as nothing more than iron rivets and a silhouette stained in the sand.
However, the rivalry between the self-taught amateur “digger”, Basil Brown, and the Cambridge-educated archaeologists is perhaps exaggerated. Brown is portrayed as having native, intuitive knowledge. He could “examine a handful of soil from anywhere in Suffolk and know exactly what farm it came from”. Although he was indeed self-taught, Brown was not exactly an amateur. He was employed as an excavator by Ipswich Museum for 30 years and was highly respected by the local archaeological community.
The Cambridge men also patronise the only female archaeologist, the real-life Peggy Piggott (Lily James), when she arrives accompanying her more experienced husband, Stuart. Peggy is welcomed because her slight frame will be ideal for working in the delicate conditions of the ship’s hull. She’s shown unearthing the first gold artefact (which really happened) but there’s no hint of the meticulous field skills for which the real Peggy was known during her illustrious career. Indeed, few professional skills are depicted at all: the archaeologists were brought in to draw, plan and record archaeological features – not simply to extract artefacts.
The professionals are portrayed cynically, exploiting the discovery to bolster personal and institutional reputations. In contrast, Pretty and Brown reflect philosophically on the meaning of the grave and the need to respect the memory of its human inhabitant.
As the skeleton of the ship emerges from the sand, it is a metaphor for the transience of human life, particularly poignant with war looming. Edith says to Brown, “We die and decay and don’t live on.” He counters, “From the first human hand-print on a cave wall, we’re part of something continuous, so we don’t really die.” The idea that all human lives are connected through the thread of the past is at the heart of burial archaeology, which is not about treasure but unearthing relationships between the living and their memories of the dead.
The Sutton Hoo ship burial was certainly exceptional in its wealth and state of preservation. Further excavations at Sutton Hoo revealed richly furnished royal burials in other mounds, including those of women and children, while comparable high-status burials have been excavated elsewhere, such as the Prittlewell Princein Essex.
Today Anglo-Saxon archaeology explores many different social roles and lifestyles, including (pagan) women-priests and ordinary farmers. The archaeologists themselves are also a more diverse and inclusive lot, committed to working with local communities to discover their past, and giving careful reflection to ethical issues – such as whether, and under what circumstances, we should disturb the remains of the ancient dead. The Dig reminds us that the role of archaeology is not in treasure-seeking, but in reflecting on our complex relationship to the past, and how and why we value it.

DeWalt MBF & MBC Motor Bearing Replacement
Modified on 2008/04/06 12:04 by joewells — Categorized as: Bearings, Restoration Topics
Alright
Ok
Getting Better
Pretty Good
Awesome
Motor bearing replacement in the MBx DeWalt Radial Arm Saws is a fairly straightforward procedure. There are a couple of areas to look out for, however. Here is a guide to what you'll see when you open up the motor on your saw. This article demonstrates motor bearing replacement in a MBF, but the other MBx saws should be very similar. Please add to or edit this article to point out any differences in models, correct any errors, or clarify anything that could be better stated.
A Japanese JAF 88500 was used to replace the Fafnir 200KLL2 on the cord side and a Japanese IKS 88504 to replace the New Departure C 88504 on the arbor side. These bearings were ordered from
Accurate Bearing
and are fairly standard.
The motor/yoke was pulled off the arm and the end bells unbolted.
The circular plate with the four slotted screws came off next. This plate screws to a similar plate inside that holds the bearing in the end bell.
With the bolts out, the end bells rotate freely. Of course you don't want to get wild with the cord-side, but the arbor-side is fair game.
You can rotate the arbor-side a bit, then tappity-tap-tap along the motor's flat bottom on the exposed part of the end bell with a soft mallet. Rotating back and forth and tapping along, the end bell came off without much resistance.
This actually freed the bearing in the cord-side end bell:
Allowing everything else to come out as an assembly:
A two-arm puller was used to persuade the end bell off of the bearing. Again, not much resistance:
There is a snap ring holding the arbor side bearing in place. Work it off of the shaft, then prepare to remove the bearing.
Your options are somewhat limited here as the fan and the retaining ring leave very little clearance behind the bearing. One option that was suggested would be to take two threaded rods, screw them into the bearing retaining plate and use a bar puller to get the bearing off.
If I didn't have an arbor press, I may have gone that route. One possible issue with doing it that way is that the bearing retainer plate doesn't give much support around the bearing for that sort of operation. It may have just flexed, damaged the bearing, and made the job more difficult. I did try to reattach the front bearing plate, then use a puller attached to that front plate, but it didn't want to give easily and I didn't want to force it.
I chose to press off the fan, bearing, and ring all at once:
The parallels are bearing against the ID of the fan. I've seen many reports of these fans breaking upon removal, so be careful here.
Next came the cord-side bearing:
The shaft where this bearing is installed is stepped/tapered, which doesn't expose much of the ID of the bearing. The setup that I used destroyed the bearing, but it came off cleanly. With a proper bearing splitter, pulling it without damage may have been possible.
After that, press the new bearings on. I pressed the arbor side bearing, ring, and fan back on as an assembly. Pressing them all on at once allowed the ID of the fan to bear directly against the ID of the bearing, providing proper support.
To get the arbor-side bearing back in the end bell, I warmed up the end bell under a lamp for a while. The bearing almost fell in place.
With each of the end bells, getting everything to go together straight took some time. They wanted to go onto the bearing crooked and bind. I ultimately used the arbor press to finish pressing the end bells back onto their bearings.
This really doesn't take much force, but putting everything in the press prevents racking and keeps everything nice and straight.
With new bearings, the motor in this MBF runs great.

6 Things I’ve Learned on the Book Tour + Best of the Web
The past few weeks have been a glorious whirlwind of traveling across the country in celebration of our new book, In the Company of Women. The downtime after finishing a book can sometimes feel a little blue, because you’ve gotten used to such a hectic pace of work and, in our case, meeting a new amazing woman every day who would inspire and motivate us. So getting to head back out on the road to interview and talk with dozens of inspiring women has been an incredible chance to dive back into that feeling of “anything is possible.” To top it all off, meeting all of you out in your hometowns and watching you connect with others and form new friendships and collaborations at these events has been a literal dream-come-true.
I’m heading back to the West Coast (and Washington, D.C.) next week, so before I hop back on a plane, I wanted to share some of the greatest things I’ve learned on tour so far from women both on these panels and in the audience. The wealth of inspiration, advice and real-world motivation they’ve shared has been overwhelmingly spectacular. Until Monday, have a wonderful weekend. And I’ll see you next week, D.C. and California! xo, grace
*I’m so honored to have In the Company of Women included in the new Jane Mount “Ideal Bookshelf” print (dedicated to feminist books) at 20×200!
1. DREAM BIG + ASK FOR WHAT YOU REALLY WANT: If there’s one thing everyone on these panels has advised us to do, it’s to set our bar high and not to sell ourselves short. Over and over, across the country, women have been raising their hands to express their unease when it comes to asking for what they really want. But each panelist has reaffirmed how important it is to aim high, ask for what you actually want and to not underestimate your dreams or your abilities.
2. NO ONE HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT: This book taught me very quickly that everyone, at every stage of life and business, has struggles. Those struggles don’t disappear with time and experience, they just become more complex. In my experience they’ve become more gratifying to overcome, but they never end. So cut yourself some slack — even women who are into their business 20+ years still have bad days (and weeks and years).
3. IT’S OK TO WORK A SIDE JOB, WE’RE NOT ALL FULL-TIME: Most business magazines and books would have us believe that all businesses start with a lot of funding or investment and people quitting their jobs immediately to take a big swing. But we don’t all have that option. And guess what? That’s okay! Lots of businesses start on a shoestring budget (with the help of a side job or full-time job’s income) and still grow, slowly and steadily, into sustainable and fulfilling companies. You don’t need to START big to dream big and do something you love.
4. BUILD A SUPPORT SYSTEM: I dedicated most of my later podcast episodes to the importance of an in-person support group, and each panel has reminded me just what a difference a group like that can make. Having women around you who understand what you do and what it’s like to run your own business (especially as a mom who runs a business) is, in some cases, the difference between a business succeeding and failing. Having people around you to support you, guide you, pick you up when you need help and to remind you of your successes, is absolutely essential.
5. THERE’S NO ONE “RIGHT” WAY TO BE A BOSS: Everyone runs their company differently. Some people swear by boundaries with employees, whereas some only hire people they want to be friends with. There’s no one system that works for everyone, and sometimes you may swap ends of the spectrum over the course of your career. And that’s okay. You have to stick to what feels right to you and for your business. Don’t let anyone tell you that you have to be tougher or softer than you want to be.
6. EMBRACE THE PIVOT: We live in a world where people change jobs and interests more than ever. So why should you be limited to one passion or one project? Our panels have been filled with women that changed careers and interests later in life and still found a way to course-correct (or just change the direction of) their ship with great success. Your first job doesn’t define you and neither does your second. YOU are the real company (thank you, Jodie Patterson, for that bit of wisdom) and every project you do is just an extension of the core company: YOU and what you believe in and love right now.
- Blushing Welcome: The Victorian farmhouse of Biscuit Home designer Bailey McCarthy is a study in showing both thoughtful design restraint and bold affection for color and pattern. I’m swooning over her pale pink Dutch door!
- Trippy Earth: Argentine artist Federico Winer’s “Ultradistancia” project takes your typical satellite images from Google Earth and translates them into bright and mesmerizing psychedelic artworks.
- Posh Pumpkins: Halloween is swiftly approaching, and Orlando Soria has plenty of spooky and sophisticated decorating ideas that will help you create your own festive “glamourmoment.”
- Fall Treat: Jocelyn Delk Adams has comfort covered with this Brown Sugar Poundcake recipe over on Grandbaby Cakes. The flavor pairings make it a welcome treat for any of the upcoming holidays.
- Scarf Fever: It’s that time of year when a scarf becomes an extension of my body (if the weather cooled down here in California already!), and this scarf from our friends at Block Shop Textiles would be a welcome staple to my wardrobe.
- Art Crush: LEIF teamed up with New Zealand-based abstract artist Jen Sievers to create this print exclusively for their shop, and I’m enamored of its vibrant, emotional movement and colors.

Thank you for acknowledging #3. I started my business as a side job, and a year later, it still is. In no small part because it is definitely not generating the kind of cash flow where I would feel comfortable leaving my full time stable corporate gig, but sometimes I feel like other people think its not a priority because its not a full time job. Like its somehow less legitimate!
Yes on the pivot! I’m into my second career and fourth degree and sometimes I do feel like I wasted the first part of my life. But hey, it happens. We change course and our first jobs shouldn’t be the end of us if that’s not what will fulfill us anymore. Thanks for reminding me of this.
In absolute awe that you mentioned my print at LEIF. I’ve been following this blog like a bible for so many years – seeing my own work on it has made me feel so accomplished! So many thanks!
Jen Sievers
Thank you so much for including my pound cake! So grateful!

Published in 2009. 279 pages.
Because I loved Michael J. Fox's Lucky Man when I listened to the audiobook last year, I was eager to read this recently published follow-up. While different in format - it is organized in four categories (Work, Politics, Faith, and Family) rather than chronologically - and somewhat different in tone, Always Looking Up is every bit as smart, funny, and insightful as Lucky Man is.
One of the concepts Fox presented that I especially loved was an idea he got from Christopher Reeve: optimism + knowledge = hope. In the section on "Faith," Fox writes:
Chris Reeve wisely parsed the difference between optimism and hope. Unlike optimism, he said, "Hope is the product of knowledge and the projection of where the knowledge can take us." If optimism is a happy-go-lucky expectation that the odds are in my favor, that things are likely to break my way, and if hope is an informed optimism, facts converting desire into possibility, then faith is the third leg of the stool. Faith tells me that I'm not alone. [pages 201-202]
Here is a passage I liked from the "Politics" section of the book (italics in original):
Our little, shingled Martha's Vineyard saltbox is blessed with an unobstructed view of the Gay Head Lighthouse. Every night its beacon slowly turns, and each half revolution paints the house and hillside with a warm swath of light. From dusk onward, fireflies twinkle through the grasses like Bush forty-one's metaphorical "Thousand Points of Light." The beacon completes another thrity-second sweep of the nightscape, and a wave of brilliance washes out the glow of the insects. A thousand fireflies won't generate the luminescence sufficient to read a roadmap. A lighthouse - more powerful and dependable - speaks to the guiding nature of hope. By equal turns, it illuminates and darkens, so the way forward can be chosen in the light, and trusted in the darkness.
Admittedly, I haven't spent much time in West Texas, but given the amount and variety of brush the President clears on his vacations, my guess is that he has a lot of fireflies on that ranch - and no lighthouse. [pages 99-100]
In the "Family" section, Fox writes the following:
I hate to say it, but I know parents who regard their children as instruments to be played. It's all a matter of what strings to pull and how finely they're tuned. I see them, to extend the metaphor, more as jukeboxes. Put in your two bits, maybe give them a bit of a nudge to get them going, but nine times out of ten, if you're lucky, they're going to play their own tune. [page 237]
I also liked the conclusion Fox made during a road trip he made with his son, after Sam asked, "Are we there yet?":
We are where we are. If we keep moving, we'll be someplace else. We'll know when we get there. [page 262]
2009.46
I love Michael J. Fox! I need to read this.
Lezlie
I was a huge Michael J. Fox fan as a kid, and I've wondered about both of his books. Perhaps I'll give them a try; you make them sound quite good.
I definitely want to read this book. Thanks for the review.

Feeling hot, thirsty, dehydrated or dried up? Then it’s time to enrich Yin.
The concept of Yin and Yang are part of the founding principles of Asian Medicine (Chinese Medicine). The two represent the dynamic opposites seen in nature. In health, Yin and Yang exist in harmony in the body – as represented by the Yin Yang symbol. Troubles arise when one or the other is excessive or deficient.
The qualities of Yin
Literally, the shady side of the mountain, Yin is represented by the black section of the symbol. Yin represents the aspects of nourishing, cooling, moistening, calming and rest in the body. It is quiescence, stillness and rest. In the body, the Yin organs rule over the water, blood and fluids. It is the calming waters in the body. It corresponds with the winter and cooler seasons
The qualities of Yang
Literally, the sunny side of the mountain, Yang is represented by the white section of the symbol. Yang is hot, movement, growth, immaterial and bright. It is activity. In the body, the Yang organs rule over the creation of energy by transformation, fire and heat and corresponds with the summer.
Symptoms of Yin deficiency
When Yin is depleted it can no longer balance Yang’s exuberance – we literally start to burn up. Symptoms include:
- 5 Palm Sweet – soles of the hands and feet and the chest is hot. This pattern is seen in menopause, tuberculosis, mono, some gallbladder patterns and diabetes. It’s a tidal fever that comes and goes and the severity is based on the how little Yin you have to quell Yang. You may also see it call “wasting and thirsting syndrome”.
- Anger and irritation
- Anxiety
- Arthritis that is worse in hot weather
- Constipation
- Dream disturbed sleep
- Dry, sore throat
- Dryness – anywhere – skin, eyes, hair, nails, etc
- Hot flashes
- Flushing
- Nervousness
- Sensation of heat
- Thirst
What causes Yin Deficiency?
Overall, Yin deficiency can come from an excess or a deficient pattern–let me explain.
Excess that leads to Yin depletion – too much Yang (heat)
In this case, Yin starts out balanced, but excess fire (Yang) burns up the water (Yin). The fire’s too hot, baby.
- Working and playing too hard relative to your health – Constant activity, even the fun kind, without adequate rest appropriate for your needs will burn you out.
- Excessive hot or drying foods – Hot spices, alcohol, meats and dried foods dry up the fluids.
- Excessive sweating or blood loss – loss of fluids, leads depletion of Yin.
- Exposure to excessively hot or dry conditions–Deserts are hard on the Yin of the body. Central heating and air conditioning make for interior conditions that will deplete Yin.
- Excess childbearing or menses – Yin is required for healthy menses, fertility and childbearing.
- Medical treatments – radiation, chemo, and many prescribed medications and treatments deplete the Yin.
Deficiency leading to Yin depletion – too little water (Yin)
In this instance, Yang is in balance, but lack of Yin nourishing fails to control the fire in the body. The fire isn’t actually too hot, but the moistening and cooling of Yin isn’t enough to keep up. Not enough water.
- Lack of rest – Resting is doing something – it is recharging your batteries. This can sometimes be a difficult concept in the American culture that often over emphasizes ‘doing.’ We need adequate rest and recuperation to be able to ‘do.’ Please go sit by a river or lack for a while – borrow a bit of the Yin of water to relax and recharge you.
- Lack of fluids – Water is the best answer here really.
- Lack of blood – Western definition – anemia. Blood deficiency is common in women who have regular cycles and may not replenish after their cycle. It is also common in vegetarians that are eating poorly. As an aspect of Yin, if blood is deficient, Yin will be come so too.
- Lack of vibrant foods – Vegetables and fruits are filled with water. If your diet is all processed, refined, and dry you will lack moisture.
Lack of Yin can run rampant throughout the body or it can target specific areas. The Yin organs, in particular, are vulnerable. For example a
- Heart Yin deficiency will appear as agitation, palpitations, anxiety, nervousness and dream disturbed sleep. The very tip of the tongue will be red and dry.
- Stomach Yin deficiency is a lack of fluids and enzymes to digest foods, leading to heart burn, GERD and burning hunger.
- Lung Yin deficiency will appear as a dry cough, dry throat and sinus, hot flashes and burning sensations in the chest.
- Kidney Yin deficiency – by the time Kidney Yin becomes Yin deficient we can be assured that several other organs are Yin deficient as well as Kidney is the root of Yin and Yang in the body. We will be looking for hot flashes and all wasting and thirsting disorders like diabetes and tuberculosis. Menopause is also a pattern of Kidney Yin deficiency.
Ideally, we want identify what patterns and organs systems are at the root of the problem to focus treat – whether we need to clear excess or nourish Yin. But even without identify the exact root cause of the Yin deficiency, you can begin to replenish Yin which will help relieve symptoms.
How do you replenish and enrich Yin?
Drink Water
Water is the basis of life and Yin in nature. You simply will not manifest Yin without proper hydration – and water is the best source. Watch out for sodas, coffee and some teas that can actually dehydrate.
Eat Yin nourishing foods
- Alfalfa sprouts
- aloe
- apple
- asparagus
- avocado
- bamboo shoots
- berries
- beets
- broccoli
- Chinese cabbage
- coconut
- cucumbers
- kelp
- kidney bean
- lemon
- lettuce
- lime
- mango
- melons
- micro-algae
- mint
- mulberry
- nettles
- papaya
- pea
- pear
- pineapple
- pomegranate
- seaweeds
- sesame
- spelt
- spirulina
- string bean
- sweet potato
- watermelon
- wheatgrass juice
- yam
- zucchini and summer squash
The following foods are Yin nourishing but may be overly dampening–use with caution of the following if you have phlegm, excess mucus or other damp conditions. Banana, cheese, egg, honey, milk, pork, rabbit, royal jelly, tofu, tomato & wheat.
Although shellfish is Yin nourishing, I often don’t recommend it because of the toxins.
Use Yin cooking methods
Steam, boil or eat vegetables fresh or raw. Raw or cold foods may not be recommended for all clients, especially those with very weak digestions. Grilling and baking are hot and drying and might be the opposite of what you want right now.
Rest appropriately
Going, going, gone. If you are always on the go, you will deplete your yin, after time blood and other vital essences will follow. Rest, take time to replenish, nap in the heat of the day if you can. How much a person needs depends on their overall health, age, work and stress level.
Exercise appropriately
Exercise is vital to health. However, it needs to be matched to the person. Running Robie Creek may be ideal for some, but a someone just recovering from surgery or illness, it’s not optimal. With Yin deficiency, I do not recommend clients run in the heat or do hot yoga. Exercises that induce excess sweating will cause fluid loss–the opposite of enriching Yin. If you are unsure of what the right exercise is for you talk to your Asian medicine medicine practitioner.
Go to bed
For deep Yin nourishing you need the night – which is Yin. Staying up late or not getting a full night’s sleep depletes Yin. If you don’t take the time to rest you will end up running on your reserves – Kidney Jing (essence) and your adrenals. These reserves are there for times of need, and you only have a set amount for life – choose wisely. Ahhhh! So don’t pilfer your reserves unless you must. Many people use caffeine, chocolate and sugar to give them a boost. Although this gives a blast of Yang (energy, activity) it does so at the expense of Yin.
Store it up
Just because you have a little energy to run or dance–don’t over do it. Try to end the day without being exhausted!
Avoid drying and heating foods
Put away the curry and hot spices for now. Leave out the alcohol, caffeine and dried packaged goods.
Stop over-thinking
Yeah, really. Constantly thinking, worrying and mental activity depletes Yin. Take a look at pictures of Einstein before his discovery of the Theory of Relativity. Early greying or whitening of hair is depletion of Yin. I’m not saying don’t create or don’t think. Just recognize that mental overwork can deplete Yin.
Get near water
If you are needing to replenish Yin and fluids, use the element itself to help. Get the rivers, lakes or ocean. Use a humidifier or vaporizer to moisten the air you breath. Meditate by a river can be lovely.
Here’s to your Yin!
Be well,
April

New data from OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) reveals a mobile broadband penetration rate of 95% in the 35 industrialized nations that comprise the OECD as of June 2016. The number increased from 86% in June 2015.
Some 123 million new mobile broadband subscriptions were added in OECD member countries from June 2015-June 2016, an 11.3 percent annual gain, according to OECD.
The large upswing in mobile broadband subscriptions over the 12-month period brought cumulative total subscriptions for OECD nations to 1.214 billion. The best estimate for their combined population is 1.27 billion.
Mobile Broadband Penetration
Mobile broadband penetration per 100 people now exceeds 100 percent in 12 OECD nations, up from nine a year ago. In descending order, the nations are: Japan, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, the U.S., Estonia, Australia, Korea, Norway, Iceland, New Zealand and Switzerland.
Fixed broadband penetration is much lower, according to OECD. According to OECD’s just released official market data, there were 380 million fixed broadband subscriptions in OECD nations as of June 2016, up from 363 million 12 months earlier. That put average penetration per 100 at 29.8 percent, up from 28.6 percent as of June 2015. The OECD only appears to have counted relatively high-speed subscriptions as fixed broadband, however.
According to OECD, Switzerland had the highest fixed broadband subscription penetration among OECD members at 51%. But FCC data shows that 90% of people in the U.S. can get broadband at speeds of 25 Mbps, suggesting that OECD must have used a considerably higher speed definition for fixed broadband.
In terms of fixed broadband networking, DSL remained the most prevalent technology, accounting for 44.7 percent of overall service subscriptions. However, fiber is catching up fast as fiber broadband subscriptions surged 16 percent higher in the 12 months to June 2016 to account for 20.1 percent of OECD fixed broadband subscriptions per 100. At 32.2 percent, cable broadband subscriptions accounted for most of the remainder.
It should be noted that OECD’s data is based on advertised broadband speeds and is set at a rather low 256 kbps for mobile broadband subscriptions, however.
Comparing advertised and actual broadband speeds in the U.S., the FCC recently determined that broadband providers are delivering the speeds they advertise, according to the federal regulatory agency’s latest “Measuring Broadband America” report. DSL broadband providers were somewhat of an exception, however.
OECD researchers also delved into machine-to-machine (M2M) communications usage. M2M SIM cards are most widely used in Sweden, New Zealand, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands, according to the OECD, which notes that M2M usage data is not fully comparable across all member nations as of yet.
There were 77 M2M SIM cards in use per 100 inhabitants in Sweden, by far the highest percentage among OECD member nations. Overall, M2M/embedded mobile cellular subscriptions surged nearly 20 percent higher from June 2015-June 2016 in countries where data was available.
More data, statistics and information are available via the OECD’s Broadband Portal.

Websites have changed a lot in the past few years and with peoples approach to browsing, more so on mobile devices, their attention span has reduced and need for a quick return has increased.
Damn, a few weeks ago I got a new phone (Motorola G 4G) , but I have just been on Amazon and seen that they are doing a deal on their Fire Phone.
Would you spend hundreds or thousands of pounds with someone who gives a card or has a website with only a mobile number on it?
For a few years I worked from home - I hated it, for several reasons, mostly because I felt lonely (I hadn't really discovered networking or a good business community to join) and craved being in a room with other people (amazing, that's why many start their own business in the first place!),
There is a saying that I use a lot with clients and startups and I am sure you might have heard it before:
"Sales are vanity & profit is sanity"
I have often wondered why people appear to enter the Den, with dodgy products, weird valuations and no ideas about the business plan.
I run an event business that is focused on bringing local businesses closer to their council, whilst delivering information, inspiration and innovation.
A few weeks ago I was asked to make a presentation to the Hammersmith & Fulham Enterprise Club, kindly hosted by Santander Bank, on ways to grow your business. I focused on quick wins that are free or are low cost, most of which are common sense, practical activities, however, unless you have been through the growing experience, they might not be apparent.
It has been a long time coming, but I have now launched my new website.
I have cut out a lot of the 'nice' stuff and will try to keep it focussed and to the point.
After speaking to small businesses I work with and meet, I have decided to focus on delivering information, guidance, tips & tricks on how you might be able to generate additional revenues or save money, contributing to your bottom line. Some of this will be via my experience, advice I have received or systems that I employ in my businesses.

John Buchan.
Powerful stuff by a noted author of adventure thrillers who, if fate had taken a different twist, would have become head of Reuters.
The passage comes from John Buchan’s The Thirty-Nine Steps, top reading for adventure lovers 70 years ago. It became a Hitchcock film and the book is still selling today as a paperback.
Buchan, a Scot, was a brilliant and remarkable man who became Governor-General of Canada as Lord Tweedsmuir, passing by the stages of author, lawyer, soldier, civil servant, publisher, journalist, Member of Parliament and Executive Deputy Chairman of Reuters.
In 1923 the principal owner of Reuters, Sir Roderick Jones, chose John Buchan to succeed him as Chairman and Managing Director if he should die.
He wrote to his lawyer, Archie Balfour:
My Dear Archie,
Under my present will, now being replaced by a new will, you are my principal Executor and Trustee.
I should like you, as such, to see that John Buchan takes my place as Chairman and Managing Director in event of anything happening to me. John I know will do this, and I am anxious that you should be free from any disputation amongst rival candidates for the post...
I charge you to appoint John Buchan.
Yours ever,
Roderick Jones
As nothing untoward happened to Sir Roderick before he gave up the right to decide his successor by selling a majority interest in Reuters in 1926, the contingency plan for Buchan to take over lapsed.
Buchan’s close connection with Reuters lasted for nearly 20 years, beginning before Sir Roderick and the then chairman Mark Napier bought the Company in 1916 following the death of Herbert de Reuter, the son of the founder.
Buchan was an old friend of Sir Roderick and became a director, serving until he was appointed Governor-General of Canada in 1935.
Buchan's close connection with Reuters lasted for nearly 20 years
For three years he was Executive Deputy Chairman of Reuters and headed an editorial committee which took over when Sir Roderick went on a 10-month world tour. He gave up his executive post when elected to Parliament in 1927 as Conservative Member for the Scottish Universities, but remained a director.
Buchan, born in Perth, Scotland, in 1875, son of a Free Church minister, lived to be 64. After a distinguished university career at Glasgow and Oxford, he became a barrister (lawyer who pleads at court), served in South Africa in a group of rising young men on the staff of High Commissioner Lord Milner after the South African war, and became a partner in an Edinburgh publishing firm, Thomas Nelson and Sons.
Early in World War I he was a war correspondent for The Times in France then, as a colonel, he headed news services at General Headquarters and in 1917, back in London, was made Director of Information in the Department of Information. The Department later became a Ministry of Information in which Buchan was Director of Intelligence.
From his student days until he accepted high office in 1935 books flowed from Buchan’s pen in profusion. He produced nearly 100 literary works.
The general public remembers him mainly for his adventure novels, written with dashing enthusiasm for manly virtues and love of the open air. He said he wrote these because he had insomnia.
In contrast, he wrote biographies of historical figures, a book on taxation law, poetry and military histories including a history of World War I.
Early in his career he worked for The Spectator, and for three years in the 1930s he was ‘Atticus’ in The Sunday Times.
Buchan became a Companion of Honour in 1932 and a Privy Councillor in 1937. Universities showered him with academic honours. Contemporaries said he was a man with a warm nature, a gentle voice and inspired by restless energy.
Naturally Reuters took a great interest in his appointment as Governor-General of Canada and would have liked to have been first with the news. But the era of instant communication had not yet arrived. The cable that arrived from Ottawa at 3.37pm on March 27, 1935, read frustratingly BUCHANS APPOINTMENT CONCERNED.
Fourteen minutes were lost before this was corrected to BUCHANS APPOINTMENT CONFIRMED and in the meantime, at 3.49pm the British national news agency, the Press Association, had broken the news from the London end. Ottawa blamed the cable company.
First published in Reuters World No. 51 March 1988 ■

On page 8 of the instrcuctions for Form W-8BEN-E, it states a US TIN is required if the payee is claiming income tax treaty benefits AND they have NOT provided a foreign TIN on line 9b. Is an EIN not necessary if a foreign TIN is provided? This is regular income from a service provided in the US from a company located and paid in Australia. All other literature indicates an EIN is required for this type of income for a foreign entity. Has anyone else come up against this?

Training The Employees To provide Top Quality Web site design Projects
2018/11/11
It is said that the webdesign industry is a knowledge structured business and I could not state it enough times to my staff. Quite clearly a business which is knowledge primarily based depends heavily, if not really entirely about -yes, what you know. Today, more than ever, understanding is vitality and this is particularly true belonging to the web design market. So what sort of training is needed for a audio web design organization company?
Get started with the beginning. If you’ve decided to provide a comprehensive choice of web design solutions, you need web developers and web-site designers. Web developers are definitely the guys who have do the code - hard and boring stuff, unless you like this type of thing. Many web developers have got attended webdevelopment training courses although others contain taught themselves web design and coding. Professionally, I find the self-taught web developers more creative and competent. Let’s say that the motivation will there be to start with. Therefore , to establish the web design business, you need a handful of good programmers, whether they carry out php, or net or different web based coding language.
You should also try some good web site designers. First impressions count and sell products. No matter how very good and wise your code, you need a great web design, the proper look and feel to attract your customers and get the revenue. True, a lot of web designers will be more gifted and talented than others. Although do take time to review bfpltechsolutions.com and share good world wide web designs with the team. What better way to improve your internally web design abilities than go over some stylish web sites and learn by noticing. Study every line, each shape and color of the internet design. Web design is about details. Train the guys to consider details within a web design. The thickness of an border, the perfect icons inside the right place could make all the difference.
Top quality training is another vital component of the training plan. Train the web designers to understand your web design customers’ expected values. Develop a great eye to get details. Buyers get incredibly nervous when ever their web page is going live. They believe the fact that minute the net design is definitely published internet the whole world is scrutinizing this. So website creation customers are very intolerant to quality flaws in a website development. Training is important. Have an excellent checklist and train your web designer to spot the obvious flaws like destroyed links, misspelling, misalignment in the web design. Once a web design is definitely complete, the internet designer need to go over the web site with the checklist and tick each item on the web site. While this kind of sounds clear and simple, that people underestimate teaching.
All this training takes time of course, if your web page design production is certainly busy and deadlines happen to be tight, you will not regret get done. Yet, training is vital to your webdesign business. I would recommend setting to start a date each month the moment training is finished. You know which date it really is each month so that you can plan your production appropriately. Make coming back your site designers to get together once a month and share their web design knowledge and tips to the team. Web design techniques are moving on constantly and web designers will find whole over the internet libraries full of the latest assets. Encourage the web design workforce to go internet, learn the newest web design styles and provide a set up using a date, some place for that regular training to take place.

Here’s a fresh idea that can change your whole approach to travel. Many of my clients swear by this strategy. Think of your trip – whether for business or pleasure, for two days or a week – as a spa trip. You’ll be away from the usual distractions of your home and family life and it’s your opportunity to focus on…. You! Begin with your flight. A few of my clients use air travel as a ‘cleanse’. They request only hot water and lemon to drink and they fast (unless the flight is quite long). They arrive at their destinations refreshed and light. In fact, an interesting recent study from Harvard researchers published in Science reveals that skipping food in the air may help beat jet lag. It seems the body has a ‘feeding’ clock in the brain and skipping food prompts you to stay awake until you can eat. So what could be better: more alert and more slim! I have lots of details on how to turn an ordinary trip into a Spa Trip. See pages 160 – 165 of The Wall Street Diet.

A lovely bird for your collection, its funny how these collections just grow without intention, thanks for the information on the magnolia I have a couple of young ones so will keep the trimming in mind :-)
I love your little bird collection. Very sweet.
I love the little birdies. Glad you e had a good weekend x
Sounds like you are making the most of the weekend. Lovely pictures you have captured. Love your bird collection.
Good to read hubby was ok after the little accident. I have a family member that drives such a lot on top of a full days work.. its exhausting!
What is the purpose of the Spinnaker tower? I know a SPinnaker is a part of a ship, but don't really know which part.
Will email you my new address. Hopefully we will be in it by the beginning of November.
Those are beautifully focused flowers, I really need to learn to use my camera better, I use the take a lot, keep a few mantra with photos. Nice to see you enjoying the sun, looks like a fab weekend.
Lazy week-ends are the best. I do love your pink flowers.
Sounds like the perfect weekend. I love seeing pictures of the coast and sea. (Worcester is lovely but trips to the sea take a bit of planning!) Jx

"I should've had the third one, for sure."
Rookie Frederik Andersen stopped 30 shots for the Ducks for his 19th win in 24 decisions.
It was the second tough road loss for the Oilers in as many nights. They overcame a 3-1 deficit against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday, but couldn't hold a third-period lead and lost 5-4.
"It's heartbreaking," Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. "It's the kind of game that you want your players to feel the reward of the points.
"But with the Ducks, they seem to be very, very good at never being out of the game. Great compete, but we have to find a way to close it out."
The Oilers came out firing. Edmonton outshot the Ducks 7-1 in the first 10:33, forcing Andersen to be sharp. He stopped Ryan Nugent-Hopkins at the post before the five-minute mark and denied him again from the slot three minutes later.
The Ducks began to push the tempo in the second half of the period, earning the game's first two power plays, but were unable to beat Fasth. The period ended scoreless, with the Oilers outshooting the Ducks 11-9.
Edmonton finally got on the board at 16:04 of the second period thanks to a great power-play shot by Larsson. With Mathieu Perreault off for tripping, Larsson eased down through the right circle before firing a shot from wide of the faceoff dot that found a tiny spot in the top corner. It was Larsson's third of the season.
The Oilers' big line, which combined for 10 points in the loss at San Jose, made it 2-0 at 2;51 of the third period. Nugent-Hopkins got the puck to Taylor Hall, setting up a 2-on-1 break entering the Ducks' zone. Hall found Eberle cutting to the net, and Eberle flicked the puck into the net for his 26th of the season and a 2-0 lead.
But Andersen kept the Ducks in the game seconds later when he twice robbed Nugent-Hopkins, and Anaheim beat Fasth on the return rush.
"When we had a 2-0 lead, we had an unbelievable chance in front of the net, and a rebound, where if it would have gone to three, I think the game would have been over," Eakins said.
Instead, Anaheim's Matt Beleskey bounced off a check along the left half-wall, kept the puck and found Perry racing down the middle. Perry took Beleskey's pass and rocketed a shot from between the circle past Fasth at 3:28 to become the NHL's second 40-goal scorer this season. Only Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals (48 goals) has scored more.
Perry scored his 41st and tied the game at 11:25 with a midair deflection of Stephane Robidas' right-point shot after the Oilers failed to clear their zone.
"We always know we have a chance," Beauchemin said. "We’re pretty good playing with the lead, as well. It's a lot less stressful playing with a lead. We killed a big penalty just before my goal. That was a big momentum change."

Sonic Forces is one of those games that’s alright if you just look at it from a purely gameplay stance, but a huge disappointment once you include the plot. Even though the sonic series is viewed as a gameplay, focused series, but the themes that the plot decided to go with – rebelling against the man – doesn’t really warrant the “at least the gameplay is good” argument.
The gameplay itself is unchanged from other sonic games: you speed through the stage as sonic until you reach the end, except now one has a grappling hook. There are some moderate differences to this game, like how you no longer have any lives, in this game, and you just have infinite retries. There are three characters you will play as throughout the game: Modern sonic, classic sonic, and the custom character that you get to make, and the mechanics between the three characters don’t really make a lot of sense, like classic sonic will be float while in the process of jumping while modern sonic and the custom character will fall like a brick once they reached their peak height when jumping.
There are some miscellaneous features of the game worth mentioning as well. The custom character was easily the highlight of the game, where you pick the character’s species, choose the clothes it wears – that you unlock as the game progresses – and it even gets its own story arc, which is one of the few standout moments in the plot, but we’ll get to that. The music was fine, there were only a few memorable tracks, but nothing to write home about. The engine used those a really good job of putting otherwise cartoony characters in a semi-realistic setting.
Now, for my biggest problem with this game: the plot. The basic summary is that Dr. Eggman has finally beaten – and presumably killed – sonic with the help of the new villain infinite, as well as foes from Sonic’s past. (At least, this is all canon within the game’s chronology.) Six months have passed, and Eggman has essentially taken over the entire world, and all but a small resistance has formed to stop him.
Within seconds after having your customizable character introduced to the Resistance, Sonic is revealed to be alive after he was presumed dead, which just feels like a cop out. Not to mentioned, when he is reveled to be alive, one of the characters said that sonic has been tortured in prison for six months, but when you finally get to play as him again, he shows no signs of psychological damage. I’m not asking for a Jacob’s ladder level of evaluation of an individual with potentially PTSD, but there is no way that someone goes off that clean from six straight months of torture.
So later down the line, sonic goes to confront shadow about why he’s joined the bad side, suddenly, it is revealed by the real shadow that it was a creation of the infinity crystal, which make projections of people appear super realistic and allows them to be able to touch other individuals. This is the first time the resistance has heard about this. I’m sorry, but you’d think with an enemy using one source of energy to rule the entire planet, you’d think that at least, oh I don’t know, someone from the resistance would’ve caught on to this.
Near the end of the game, it is revealed that Dr. Eggman’s super-secret plan to rule the world was to put Sonic into null space, a place were literally nothing exists, but once Sonic and your character gets sucked into null space, it takes at least fifteen seconds for you to get out by running superfast. Our main characters have been introduced to null space for less than two minutes and in less than two minutes they figured out how to get out.
Now, this sounds like I’m just nitpicking specific moments within the game, but here’s the thing: these moments that I’ve just describe happen within an hour of each other, in a three hour game. Now, I’m not one to stick up my nose if I fine a game can be beaten in a short amount of time – in fact, I find the mindset premature – but this game should’ve been longer, especially with how rushed the game feels. It feels like the game is more interested in quickly getting to each story beat then it is in telling a story of rebellion, and the conflicts that come with being on small resistance team.
There are also some minor things about the plot as well. The OC’s arc, while still the highlight, flips a switch from being scared to being brave halfway through the game, even though they have been through more several moments of peril throughout the game. Infinite is a generic second hand villain who only exists to drive the plot of the game, just to be killed off right before the final confrontation with Eggman. Classic sonic did need to be in this game, you literally could’ve taking his subplot with modern tails and nothing would be lost.
As stated above, Sonic Forces his a decent game, with a lacking plot. While the game remains unchanged from most Sonic games, the plot is extremely underdeveloped, and could’ve used more meat.

“It’s a good idea—but is there is a market for it?” Hundreds of students and researchers at DTU ask themselves this question every year. At DTU Bioengineering, business developer Katrine Maarlev from DTU Tech Transfer actively encourages researchers and students to make a point of addressing the question, because doing so is crucial for whether or not they successfully develop their invention into a product that meets market demands.
“The potential for commercializing an invention often stems from a previous collaboration between researchers and companies, or because it addresses a specific problem which businesses are facing. Therefore, one of the first things we do in our dialogue with researchers is to investigate the possibility of realizing their project in cooperation with an existing company,” says Katrine Maarlev.
Researchers and students at DTU Bioengineering are behind about ten inventions a year; here, Katrine Maarlev wants to help DTU employees proceed from idea to patenting and licensing and then to business development and financing. One of the most recent projects relates to the start-up Chromologics, which develops new types of natural food pigments. Chromologics has been good at attracting funding from various foundations, and in the right sequence.
“Funding is an incredibly important driver for all research and innovation. By becoming involved at an early stage and helping start-ups like Chromologics apply for funding from various foundations in the right order, we can create flow in financing the expenses, and thus ensure research progress and clarify whether the project will stay the commercial course,” says Katrine Maarlev.
“This requires a strong team and hard work, so every new financing initiative leads to progress which can be used to attract the next investment. Here, Chromologics has fully exploited the possibilities by first obtaining funding from DTU’s own funds—a so-called DTU PoC Grant—and then from the Novo Nordisk Foundation via an Exploratory Pre-seed Grant, and most recently an InnoBooster grant from Innovation Fund Denmark,” explains Katrine Maarlev.
In addition to Chromologics, in recent years DTU Bioengineering has acted as a base for biotech start-ups such as Mosspiration Biotech, which produces fragrances for the perfume industry, VenomAid Diagnostics, which develops antidotes for snake bites, and Bactolife, which is battling antimicrobial resistance.
Katrine Maarlev highlights the fact that Denmark possesses strong competences within biotechnology, pharma, fermentation processes, proteins, and micro-organisms. In many cases, start-ups benefit from entering into partnership with a larger company, among other things because producing new substances needs to take place in large plants to produce the quantities required for the new biotechnological product to be profitable.
“We’re operating in a field where creating a start-up requires considerable investments to go to market with a product. Biotechnology is not an electronic gizmo you just produce. There is a long development horizon for these projects, and considerable optimization work. And if it relates to pharma and food, the authorities have strict documentation requirements. Producers have to document the purity of new products, and in many cases the products have to be tested on humans in clinical trials, which is very expensive,” says Katrine Maarlev.
DTU Tech Transfer is part of DTU’s ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship. The ecosystem also includes DTU Entrepreneurship, which equips engineers to understand the interplay between technology and the new business models, and DTU Skylab, which is an innovation hub for students and staff, with the offer of financing, innovation competitions, contact to companies, prototype workshops, labs, and events.

Ta’et Nour - which means ‘enlightening energy’ - is a unique award-winning Egyptian-led project on the outskirts of Assiut.
The mixed-use Ta’et Nour urban project was designed as a humanitarian response to the needs of the residents of an informal settlement built under high voltage power lines near the village of Al Izayah. Much of the community had developed serious health problems resulting from their prolonged exposure to these power lines.
ArchiLab, a Cairo-based design consultancy founded by Hany Ibrahim, and Studio S+RK, a London based design practice founded by Ramez Khalil, proposed moving the residents to a nearby plot of empty land at a safe enough distance from the power lines.
Currently under construction, the development is due for completion in 2023 and has already been the subject of much international buzz and recognition with a slew of prestigious awards to its name including 2nd place at the prestigious World Design Awards with honourable mentions at the Architecture Masterprize and Global Future Design Awards in 2020.
Encouraged by the international recognition and local appeal, Ta’et Nour’s design team went on to establish a non-profit to source donations and finance the project.
In order to facilitate the residents’ way of life and maintain familiar aesthetics, Ta’et Nour’s team visited the settlement, studied their living requirements and enhanced the seemingly undesigned ‘redbrick-grey concrete’ look. Without discrediting the value of the architecture found in informal settlements, the project ‘marries’ their seemingly haphazard style and construction techniques to Egyptian vernacular architecture. “We were able to create a new design language that provides for sustainability, ease of construction, and aesthetic fulfillment for residents and visitors alike,” the team explains.
Instead of creating flat blocks with floors divided into generic apartments, the residential zones are made of ‘stacked homes’ with private courtyards, fulfilling the residents’ unique cultural and living needs. Residential and service zones are divided by green pedestrian and bicycle-friendly thoroughfares. Designated green spaces have been creatively carved out for social gatherings, markets and community building while encouraging healthy living and sustainable practices. Services include a sporting club with gym, pool, pitches, café, restaurant, events area and veen a creche. A light production workshop and seamlessly integrated spaces for stores generate local employment opportunities.
,” explains the team. “While also creating a master plan that acts as a prototype for healthy sustainable rural settlements that still acknowledge all aspects of their users’ needs.”

Apusomonads
ApusomonadidaeDavid J. Patterson
Introduction
The apusomonads (also called thecamonads) include two genera and about 10 species of small gliding flagellates. They occur in soils, freshwater and marine habitats and have a world-wide distribution. They are tectic organisms inasmuch as they are associated with surfaces (of particles, of sediment or of detritus such as dead dogs). They can be common and abundant. They consume bacteria, often using pseudopodia which emerge from the ventral face of the cell to do so. The genera were grouped into an order - the Apusomonadida by Karpov and Mylnikov in 1991.
Characteristics

Micrograph copyright © 2000 David J. Patterson.
Apusomonads are flagellates with tubular mitochondrial cristae. They are distinguished from other tubulocristate flagellates by the presence of a flexible organic lorica or theca which lies over the dorsal face of the cell and ensheaths the basal part of the anterior flagellum. Apusomonads have two flagella, the first extends anterior or anterio-laterally, the second trails behind the cell. The two basal bodies insert almost at right angles and give rise to four microtubular roots, two of which determine the margins of the ventral face of the cell.
Discussion of Phylogenetic Relationships
The two genera of apusomonads are regarded as sister taxa because all studied representatives of both genera have an external theca. The synapomorphy of the genus Apusomonas is the mastigophore - the anterior projection into which the anterior flagellum inserts. This trait is not seen in any other taxa and is believed to be derived. The genus Amastigomonas may be paraphyletic since there are no known synapomorphies for the five species contained within this group.)

Need leak detection on the Gold Coast? Jeff MacDonald and his team have over 20 years of experience. Pipes are the most economic and safest transport systems for all fluid products, but it is essential that they fulfil the high demands of safety, reliability and efficiency.
Most pipelines, regardless of what they contain, have proven to last on average about 25 years. When they begin to fail, they usually do slowly; beginning with leaks at poorly contructed joints, corrosion points and small structural cracks. If not addressed at this time, these faults can gradually progress towards a catastrophic ending.
Early leak detection and correction is beneficial because it can reduce the negative effects of neglect. Accurate leak detection requires a combination of two things:
All of the technicians at Jeff MacDonald Plumbing have completed extensive leak detection training programs and have vast field experience. They are also licensed plumbers, which enables them to carry out the repair. Our plumbers utilise their knowledge and experience at each and every job, to accurately locate and repair leaks in hard to reach places - such as below the ground and in walls. We also use state of the art equipment, utilising the latest developments in leak detection technology. In most cases, if any additional equipment is required we will have it in house.
If you suspect you may have a leak on your residential, commercial or industrial premises, call us to discuss your specific situation. It can be critical to both your budget and long-term property value that you take the right steps to solve your problem early. Jeff MacDonald Plumbing is a well established company that takes pride in looking after people just like you.

* Prices may differ from that shown
After a busy, tiring and stressful day, there is nothing my boyfriend and I like more than heading upstairs to unwind and relax together. One of the things we like to do, especially if one of us is feeling particularly worn out, is to have a bit of a massage session .
Previously, we've used baby oil, and also some fruity scented massage oils . The trouble with these, from my boyfriends perspective rather than mine, is that they would often leave him smelling like an explosion in a fruit factory . Whilst this smell was fine with me, it was evidently not butch enough for my big sexy bear of a man . He demanded something he wouldn't have to shower off in the morning before doing anything else, and after a little looking around we came across the Lelo range of massage oils at Lovehoney.co.uk.
Now, at 24.99 for a 120ml bottle, these are certainly not cheap . However, they do come in three varieties, all of which sound much more exotic than the usual fruity stuff we use : Lily and Musk, Spicy Clove and Amber, and Balsam, Fir, and Bergamot. With my boyfriend stating that Lilies are definitely girly, and that he doesn't know what on earth a Balsam is, we opted for the Clove and Amber variety.
Now, the packaging on this is gorgeous . No cheap plastic squirty tube here. Instead, we get a sleek dark black glass bottle, in a chunky cylinder shape, with the word Lelo printed smartly across the front in gold, and a gold coloured spray dispenser, encased in an orange coloured oval. It looks a little like an upmarket aftershave, and would not look out of place on any bedside table . While the bottle is certainly sexy looking, there is nothing that actually makes it stand out as sexual, or even as a massage product, so there is no need to find discreet places to hide this. The bottle comes in a matching box with the same colouring, but I've since thrown the box away so can't remember much of what was written there - I believe it was just some basic usage directions and an ingredients list.
The spray pump dispenser means that only a small amount of this can be dispensed at a time . Now, with many other oils I have used, that would have been a problem, but a tiny bit of this oil really goes a long way, and it does not dry out quickly. In fact, just two or three pumps can last us through a long, luxurious full body massage.
The oil warms up easily in the hands, and glides on like a dream - there is no skin dragging or catching at all, and it lends a subtle glow to the skin. This glow is due to the fact that the oil contains small flakes of 24 carat gold. Luckily the effect is very subtle, and really only noticeable in a certain light - a good thing I suspect, as my boyfriend would not be happy to find a nice scent, only to end up looking like Tutankhamun.
The scent is wonderful - rich and deep, with a really heady spicy scent - perhaps a little like mulled wine, with something slightly muskier underlying it . It makes me think of Christmas for some reason, and I love the way it really sticks around - even a couple of days after using, if my boyfriend hasn't showered I can still detect a subtle spicy clove aroma on his skin . The smell seems to intensify the longer it is massaged into the skin. The oil doesn't dry out fast when in use, but there isn't really too much need to rinse it off afterwards, as it does eventually absorb on it's own .
We actually have black satin sheets (oh yes, we're that kind of couple) so staining isn't really an issue I have experienced - however as with all products like this I would say that caution is a good thing, and avoid using it on fabrics you may not want ruined .
Overall, I think this is wonderful . It's certainly a bit expensive for what it is, and we continue to use a wide variety of massage oils . One downside to note is that this isn't edible , so those who like a combined massage oil/flavoured lube kind of product may not like this . It is also worth noting that as this product is oil based, you should be careful applying condoms with this on your hands.
4 stars - a fantastic luxury massage product, just a tiny bit expensive .
LELO massage oil in Spicy Clove and Amber scent. This gorgeous, luxurious massage oil will leave you radiant, especially with the touch of 24K gold flakes contained therein. Presented in an erotically artistic glass bottle that will enhance any boudoir dressing table. This Spicy Clove and Amber fragrance is soft and seductive, helping you to completely lose your inhibitions.

Today marks the launch of our new weekly series, highlighting the top gaming news. With this SDGC on BWT segment, John, the creator of SDGC, will be breaking down gaming news for the week. From company updates,.
In this video, John covers what happened in gaming for the week of October 26, 2020. While it wasn’t a packed week in gaming news we did get two big moments. Square Enix launched the teaser website for its upcoming game Final Fantasy XVI and Cyberpunk 2077 got delayed…again. To dive more into the world of Final Fantasy XVI, John breaks down all the details we know so far from the website launch and character descriptions that Square Enix shared. And of course, this Cyberpunk 2077 delay comes after the company said it wouldn’t delay again – John digs into what happened around the announcement including how the developers found out.
For more of John, make sure to follow him on Twitter @MisterMegative and make sure to follow @officialSDGC on social media and tune in when they stream live on Twitch but dropping them a follow here.
This Week in Gaming: November 1, 2020 was edited by John and Derek, of SDGC.

Cecil replies:.
But the colonists didn’t go their separate ways. Instead, finding themselves at odds in a legal no-man’s-land, they drafted the Mayflower Compact. The 41 who signed it on November 11 included no women but were otherwise a remarkably egalitarian crew,: “We could not now take time for further search or consideration, our victuals being much spent, especially our beer, and it being now the 19th of December” (Mourt’s Relation, 1622, commonly attributed to colonists William Bradford and Edward Winslow)..
The colonists used up their beer by Christmas. At first the ship’s captain gave them a little out of the crew’s supply, but when sickness, possibly scurvy, began felling the travelers (about half died that first winter), things got ugly. “As this calamity fell among the passengers that were to be left here to plant, and were hasted ashore and made to drink water that the seamen might have the more beer, and one in his sickness desiring but a small can of beer, it was answered that if he were their own father he should have none” (Bradford, History of Plymouth Plantation, circa 1650). The captain relented when his own men began getting sick too, evidently not wanting it to be known to history that, in addition to being late, lost, etc, he was the SOB who hogged the beer.

A sexy, dreadlocked street performer entertains passers-by in Montreal, Canada, using “volunteers” (which he humorously drags out of his audience) as props for his acrobatic stunts. Peppered with humor and tongue-in-cheek comments about social issues, this performance drew a varied crowd; young and old, conformist and non-conformist.

President Alexander Lukashenko called opposition leaders "cowards" after they urged people to boycott an election that looks set to reinforce the hardline leader's grip on the former Soviet country.
"They are cowards who have nothing to say to the people," Mr Lukashenko said after voting at a Minsk polling station. Preliminary results are expected today.
The two main opposition parties see the election as a sham exercise to produce a 110-seat chamber which will rubber-stamp Mr Lukashenko's directives. The United Civic Party and the Belarusian People's Front said anyone voting in the poll would be casting a ballot for his leadership as a whole and would be validating the detention of political prisoners and election fraud.
Western monitoring agencies have not judged an election in Belarus free and fair since 1995. The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe has fielded 330 observers for the election and is expected to give its verdict on the polls.

It’s a rail problem at Great Bedwyn (From This Is Wiltshire)
Latest News RSS Feed
It’s a rail problem at Great Bedwyn
12:00pm Thursday 8th May 2014 in Latest News By Anna Mauremootoo, Senior reporter for Marlborough and Pewsey
Plans to increase car parking at Bedwyn Station are causing more tension between commuters and residents.
First Great Western says there are 17 car parking spaces at the station and it has submitted an application to Wiltshire Council to increase the total to 40 by creating 23 additional bays.
The new spaces would be built on disused land between the railway line and the road and would include a disabled bay.
The proposals have been welcomed by Bedwyn Trains Passenger Group.
Chairman Steve Smith said: “We are delighted that there are plans for new parking spaces. Obviously we welcome anything that will improve the station.
“There are good days and bad days for parking and at the moment it hasn’t been too bad but at other times it does cause a problem.”
However, opposition is mounting from residents in bungalows at The Knapp opposite the station, who have been battling for years to stop railway commuters parking outside their homes, because they say new car park would only make the problem worse.
Jan Thornton, from the Knapp Residents’ Association, said: “People in The Knapp are very unhappy about it. There are some major discrepancies in the application that need to be corrected.
“There are 25 spaces at the front of the station, not 17 as the application says, and eight cars already park on the road which gives a total of 33 spaces.
“If there is nose-first parking cars will be reversing out into traffic and people whizz down this road, the hazard that this would cause is farcical. We’ve already got enough cars down here. We nearly have as many cars down here as Swindon station car park.
“Wiltshire Council is trying to make Bedwyn a sustainable transport hub but we can’t even sustain what we already have. It’s important but they need to find a proper car park.”
The application also outlines plans to provide a new ticket machine and bike shelter, which have already been put in place.
A First Great Western spokesman said: “Planning consent is a further step towards providing the increased parking we, and our customers want to see.”
The planning application is due to be discussed by the parish council this evening.

Abstract
Inulin is a generic term to cover all β(2 → 1) linear fructans. Chicory inulin is a linear β(2 → 1) fructan (degree of polymerisation (DP) 2 to 60; DPav = 12), its partial enzymatic hydrolysis product is oligofructose (DP 2 to 8; DPav = 4), and by applying specific separation technologies a long-chain inulin knownas inulin HP (DP 10 to 60; DPav = 25) can be produced. Finally, a specific product known as oligofructose-enriched inulin is obtained by combining chicorylong-chain inulin and oligofructose. Because of the b-configuration of the anomeric C2 in their fructose monomers, inulin-type fructans resist hydrolysis byintestinal digestive enzymes, they classify as ‘non-digestible’ carbohydrates, and they are dietary fibres. By increasing faecal biomass and water content ofthe stools, they improve bowel habits, but they have characteristic features different from other fibres. They affect gastrointestinal functions not because oftheir physico-chemical properties but rather because of their biochemical and physiological attributes. In the colon, they are rapidly fermented to produceSCFA that are good candidates to explain some of the systemic effects of inulin-type fructans. Fermentation of inulin-type fructans in the large bowel is aselective process; bifidobacteria (and possibly a few other genera) are preferentially stimulated to grow, thus causing significant changes in the compositionof the gut microflora by increasing the number of potentially health-promoting bacteria and reducing the number of potentially harmful species. Both oligofructosead inulin are prebiotic. They also induce changes in colonic epithelium stimulating proliferation in the crypts, increasing the concentration ofpolyamines, changing the profile of mucins, and modulating endocrine as well as immune functions. From a nutrition labelling perspective, inulin-typefructans are not only prebiotic dietary fibres; they are also low-calorie carbohydrates [6·3 kJ/g (1·5 kcal/g)]. Supported by the results of a large numberof animal studies and human nutrition intervention trials, the claim ‘inulin-type fructans enhance calcium and magnesium absorption‘ is scientifically substantiated, but different inulin-type fructans have probably a different efficacy (in terms of effective daily dose), the most active product being the oligofructose-enriched inulin. A series of animal studies demonstrate that inulin-type fructans affect the metabolism of lipids primarily by decreasingtriglyceridaemia because of a reduction in the number of plasma VLDL particles. The human data largely confirm the animal experiments. They demonstratemainly a reduction in triglyceridaemia and only a relatively slight decrease in cholesterolaemia mostly in (slightly) hypertriglyceridaemic conditions. Inulinappears thus eligible for an enhanced function claim related to normalization of blood triacylglycerols. A large number of animal data convincingly showthat inulin-type fructans reduce the risk of colon carcinogenesis and nutrition intervention trials are now performed to test that hypothesis in human subjectsknown to be at risk for polyps and cancer development in the large bowel.

A woman who was found in flat fire this morning in Warwick has died.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to a flat fire on Humphris Street in Warwick at 8am..”
UPDATE: Fire crews believe the fire may have been caused by an overloaded plug socket.
A spokesperson for the Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “On arrival crews found the bedroom of a first floor flat well alight. On entering the property, firefighters found one female in the front room area of the property. At this point the flat was already heavily smoke logged. The woman was quickly rescued from the fire and handed into the care of the ambulance service.
Crews then tackled the blaze to stop it spreading to neighbouring properties using four hose reels and breathing apparatus. Sadly it has now been confirmed by West Midlands Ambulance Service that the lady rescued earlier by our crews was sadly confirmed deceased shortly after arriving at hospital.”
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Services Fire investigation Officer, Mark Allen said: “On arrival our crews carried out a full search of the property and found a woman in the front room. She was quickly rescued and handed into the care of the ambulance service. Although smoke alarms did activate, it is believed the alarm was raised by neighbouring properties who heard the smoke alarms bleeping.
“An initial investigation, into the fire suggests that the fire began in the bedroom and was started by an overloaded plug socket.
“Sadly, these types of fires can easily be avoided by taking simple measures such as not overloading plug sockets and keeping extension leads well away from flammable materials. That way, if the worse should happen, the fire is less likely to spread so quickly.
“Although on this occasion a working smoke alarm didn’t save the resident, it did raise the alarm with neighbouring properties that were able to call us out to rescue the resident and stop the fire from spreading.”

Approximately 6 million car accidents occur in the United States every year. Around 2 million drivers experience permanent injuries every year.
This means that if you’ve never been in a car accident, you will most likely be in one sometime in your lifetime. You will also most certainly sustain some sort of trauma.
Enter car accident lawyers. Read on to learn more about when you need a car accident lawyer.
What is a Car Accident Lawyer
A car accident lawyer is also known as a personal injury lawyer.
This attorney helps you receive the proper settlement when you’re injured in a car accident. Certainly, your car will sustain damage in an accident.
But more likely than not, you will also sustain damage in one way or another. A good car accident lawyer will help you figure out how much you need to help compensate for the emotional and physical trauma that typically follows a car accident.
Car accident lawyers have experience. You, as a victim, most likely (and hopefully) do not have experience as a professional car accident victim.
If you’re involved in a car accident, you will need someone who understands the laws that exist to protect you so you can recover from the accident thoroughly.
When to Find a Car Accident Lawyer
If you’re involved in a car accident that is not your fault, you should find a reliable car accident lawyer immediately.
Picture this: insurance companies have a team of lawyers to deal with claims, and these attorneys have their client’s interest in mind, not yours.
This team of attorneys is ready to process a claim as quickly as possible because they process so many claims.
Sometimes an accident will be ruled a no-fault accident. Even if your accident looks like such a case, contact an attorney.
Why You May Need a Car Accident Lawyer
When you’re in a car accident, you’re often sustaining more trauma than you realize. Because of the urgent nature of an accident, you need a car accident lawyer.
Hidden Injuries
Adrenaline is your friend when you’re in an accident. Unfortunately, you may be hurt and not know it when you’re first in a car accident.
If you retain a car accident attorney, you will have someone ready to help you when the injuries become apparent.
Always seek medical attention when you’ve been in a car accident. Sleeping injuries may not show up for 24 hours, and by then, you’ve filed an accident report. If you report an injury too late, you will look suspicious.
You’re Not an Attorney
Unless you have a law degree, you’re not an attorney. Lawyers have gone to school for years and have studied the law for a reason.
They know their stuff. You don’t. Googling “how to represent myself in a personal injury lawsuit” does not qualify you to represent yourself.
Car accident lawyers know the procedures and the law. They defend people for a living and can do so efficiently and thoroughly. They will do the job both quickly and correctly.
For example, did you know both Illinois and Missouri are “fault” states when it comes to auto accidents? This means the person causing the accident is responsible for paying for the injuries of those harmed in the accident.
The ones harmed in the accident can also file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court against the drive.
This legalese may sound confusing as legal jargon can. And this is one more reason why you may need a lawyer.
Attorneys understand laws like statutes of limitations. They know how to file the lawsuit and what papers to file.
They Work, You Heal
The attorney will do the legwork so you can just recover and not think about what papers to file next. You will need to work on healing, on rehabbing or going to a therapist if you’re suffering from the emotional trauma of an accident.
You will not have the time or the energy to deal with paperwork, and in the process of dealing with it, you may make a mistake that a lawyer would catch.
A car accident lawyer will gather the evidence necessary from witness statements to insurance claims to police reports. They look at everything including some of the documents you may miss.
They advocate FOR you. If you win, they win. A good attorney wants what’s best for you.
Pain and Suffering Settlement Examples
Many people have won their pain and suffering suits with appropriate settlements.
The Gloria Estefan settlement is among the most famous. Gloria Estefan, a famous pop singer in the 1980s and 90s, broke her back when her tour bus was rear-ended. Because of the accident and injury, she had to cancel a world tour and spent the next year rehabbing and learning to walk.
The truck company for the tractor-trailer that rear-ended Estefan settled out of court for $8.5 million. There were seven defendants
The Miramon v. Bradley settlement stems from two different car accidents and subsequent trauma.
Julie Miramon was involved in two different car accidents–one in 1988 and then another in 1990. Miramon claimed the second accident exacerbated conditions the first accident caused–in particular psychological distress and an eating disorder.
Miramon lost the case initially but then appealed and won.
Ultimately Miramon received $790 for medical expenses, minus $30 for one payment already made to Dr. Drude, for a total of $760.
The court also awarded Miramon $6,000 for the pain and suffering from minor physical injury and for the aggravation of her symptoms.
Where to Find a Car Accident Lawyer
Because of the potentially lucrative nature of the lawsuits, car accident lawyers appear to be everywhere.
When you’re involved in an accident and need a car accident lawyer, begin by considering your location.
Local attorneys will know your state’s laws, such as whether it is a fault state or no-fault state. They will understand your rights within the limitations of your state’s particular traffic accident laws.
You can begin your search by looking for a basic directory. Then look for specific reviews for the attorneys–client reviews in particular.
Check out the attorneys’ websites, and look for news of those attorneys’ settlements. Their success reveals their work.
Beware Settlement Mills
When you’re nursing your injuries and feel inspired to hire a lawyer whose commercials appear insurance companies appear late at night, beware.
Late-night settlement attorney commercials often come from settlement mills.
Settlement mills are the law offices that spend an inordinate amount of money on advertising to bring people in and then deal with their settlement quickly without caring well for their clients.
Insurance companies typically love settlement mills because the mills’ objective is to close the case and move on to the next one–regardless of justice.
The settlement mills depend on their aggressive ad campaigns to bring in sufficient revenue. They do not rely on their excellent legal skills, just on the number of clients they can run through the mill.
These mills are characterized by minimal interaction between the attorneys and clients.

iOS 9 is finally here. Apple’s latest mobile software comes with full of new features and bug fixes as well as improvements to stability, speed and battery life.
According to Apple, iOS 9 is now running on more than 79% of active iOS devices six months after launch, making it the fastest adoption rate for a new operating system.
Here are 10 tips you should know about Apple’s latest mobile software, iOS 9.
1. Night Shift mode
iOS 9.3 marks the introduction of Night Shift mode, a long – waited feature for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users. In reality, the new feature has been available on other platforms including Android and Windows phones for years.
Night Shift mode will help you sleep better, as it automatically adjusts the colors of the display to a warner hue. According to tech experts, exposure to blue light (emitted from displays) at night will make you harder to fall asleep.
2. Add a password to the Notes app
With iOS 9.3, you now can add a password to your personal notes to keep them safer. You can use Touch ID or a password to protect your personal details by heading to Settings > Notes > Password.
3. A new look for multitasking mode
With iOS 9, Apple introduces a brand new look for its multitasking feature. From now on, the app thumbnails will be displayed in a stack.
According to tech experts, the new multitasking mode looks more eye – catching, but the app previews are harder to glance at and you will not see the entire app preview.
4. A new Camera and Photo Library
Your Library now includes different parts including Camera roll, Selfie, Panorama, Video and Burst. According to Apple, the new Library lets you easily select your favorite photos. Besides, you now can select multiple photos by sliding your finger across the screen.
5. News app
With iOS 9, you now can build your own list of content based on the sources and articles you read. Noticeably, you can add many trending topics and your favorite stories in different sectors including sport, economy and society. With News in iOS 9, you can keep up with news and developments in your industry.
6. Slide over feature
Apple now adds a new slide over feature on the iPad. The new feature lets you do more things on your iPad at the same time. To enter slide over mode, you can slide your finger in from the right edge of your screen until a small slideover menu appears, then you can swipe down to scroll through the list of available apps and tap on the app you want to use in slide mode. From now on, you can play video while browsing the web.
7. Notifications
With iOS 9, you now can manage easily your notifications in Notification Center. You can set your favorite app notifications to be displayed in Notification Center. Or you can manually build a list that includes apps for which you want to receive notifications.
8. Low Power Mode
With iOS 9, Apple introduces Low Power mode for the first time. When this mode is on, your device will gain extra three hours of battery life.
According to Apple, your iPhone screen will go dark faster, and mail fetching, background app refreshes, automatic downloads and some visual animations will be reduced or turned off when you turn on this mode. Your iOS device will ask if you want to turn on the feature when your battery icon turns “red”. Or you can manually set automatically to kick in with 15% battery life remaining.
9. Hey Siri
The “Hey Siri” was first introduced in iOS 8. With iOS 9, it gets even better and smarter. Siri now can recognize only your voice. This means that your iOS device will only listen to you.
According to tech experts, the new feature will prevent many unauthorized access to users’ personal details and apps, as anyone within earshot can give the command and interact with your device.
10. Spotlight Search feature
The Spotlight Search feature comes with a brand new look and improvements. The Search feature now includes three categories including Siri suggestions, Nearby and News.

Grace's Cross Stitch
16"x23" approx
Do NOT adjust your screens! This is NOT an oil painting! This is a very detailed Beatrix Potter counted cross stitch that I recently completed for my youngest grandchild - 4 year old Grace.
As I have done for each of my other three grandchildren, I have lovingly created a cross-stitch sampler for them to always treasure. Before this, I usually completed the sampler within a few months of their birth and the sampler hung in their bedroom near their crib. The only difference this time is that Grace is old enough that she can now READ what I have made!
These samplers hopefully will be treasured by them and will hang in their homes as they grow up, marry and eventually become parents. Each of my grandchildren know that I love them very much and it is my hope that they will treasure this gift to them and treat it as an heirloom.

Auctions as the largest independent auctioneer in the UK, the associate directorship roles have been created in recognition of contributions made by key personnel.
The five, who have been promoted to associate directors from their previous senior positions within the company, have been recognised for their dedication and increased levels of management responsibilities that the rapid growth of the business has generated.
Managing director of John Pye Auctions, Adam Pye, said: “John Pye Auctions is in a period of considerable expansion and the five associate directorships have been created to acknowledge the individuals that have helped to deliver the company’s strategic growth plan.”
Joanne Greenfield, who is based at the Nottingham HQ in New Basford, is now associate director and company accountant. Joanne joined John Pye Auctions in 2013 and is an ACCA qualified accountant and managers the accounts department across all 22 sites.
Associate director and head of national retail facilities, Steve Anderson, is responsible for managing the company’s team of site managers across five key hubs; Marchington (where he is based), Nottingham, Derby, Scotland and South Wales). During his nine years at John Pye Auctions, Steve has worked as an off-site auction supervisor, health & safety officer, saleroom manager and site manager. He now provides strategic support on new site operational set up, roll out and ops process development to ensure all sites are running as efficiently as possible within the salerooms.
Nottingham-based Charles Loake, associate director and head of business assets, has been with the business an impressive 21 years, joining in 1996. Charles heads up the company’s business assets department, managing over 20 staff UK wide who work on instructions on behalf of Turnaround, Restructuring and Insolvency (TRI) Practitioners, as well as private businesses looking to restructure operations and unlock equity in surplus asset holdings.
Through Charles’ achievements, John Pye Auctions has been voted winner two years running in London’s TRI Awards category of Asset Valuer/Auctioneer of the Year category.
Zoe Wright, who was previously Nottingham general manager is now associate director and general manager. Zoe’s main responsibility is to oversee head office management and administrative operations and internal communications. Zoe has been with John Pye Auctions for seven years and is integral to the company’s successful management and delivery of Government contracts and supporting operations with KPI tracking.
Noel Mulready, associate director and head of South Wales & UK Vehicle Operations, started with John Pye 15 years ago in 1990 when he joined the company on a casual basis before joining the military.
Returning in 2008, Noel worked as a labourer, valuer and then a saleroom manager in Nottingham. He was subsequently a site manager at the Greater London auction hub in Acton and was also national vehicles operations manager for the mobilization, commencement and ongoing delivery of the firm’s DVLA contract which is still part of his role. Noel is based at the auctioneers largest and newest site, Port Talbot in South Wales, which he manages.
Adam continued: “Charles, Zoe, Noel, Joanne and Steve have all worked incredibly hard for the company and their dedication and commitment has been integral to its success and growth. I am really pleased they are now part of the senior management team which is well deserved.
“They will play a vital role in supporting the board of directors to deliver the company’s overarching strategic pan and day-to-day operations.”
Second generation-owned John Pye Auctions started trading nearly 50 years ago, when John Pye began probate property clearances that no other auctioneers in Nottingham wanted.
Since then, the business has turned into the UK’s largest commercial auction house and operates across 20 UK sites, including Nottingham, Derby, Marchington, Birmingham, Sheffield, London, Scotland and Wales.
The business, which has a workforce of 250, recently reported that it had sold a record number of more than 1.5m items in 2016. With everything from sofas and iPhones to gem stones and Formula One racing cars going under the hammer through the online public auction site.
The company works with major UK high-street retailers, insolvency practitioners, banks, lenders, government agencies and agents, selling assets and stock through five trading departments: John Pye Retail, John Pye Luxury Assets, John Pye Property, John Pye Business Assets and John Pye Vehicles.

If you are like most drivers, you have probably felt a little nervous when driving next to an 18-wheeler. There are good reasons for these feelings. While semi-truck accidents do not occur as frequently as those among passenger vehicles, the results of a wreck with a large commercial truck can be devastating. Even a seemingly minor collision can do serious damage to a smaller motor vehicle and its occupants.
By understanding the reasons for truck accidents, it will increase your chances of avoiding one. Here are the top causes of semi collisions.
User error
Truck drivers, like everyone else, are human and make mistakes. They might drive while drowsy, under the influence or distracted. However, most truck accidents that are due to driver error are because of the actions of someone in another vehicle. In other words, that car you have seen cutting off truckers or not allowing large trucks to merge might be more of a risk to your safety than the truck driver.
Lack of maintenance
Commercial trucks suffer from a lot of wear and tear which means that they require regular maintenance. However, if the operator or truck owner does not keep up with the maintenance on the truck, the rig can turn into a death machine traveling at 70-plus miles per hour down the highway.
Equipment malfunction
A truck can also fail due to the manufacturer’s negligence at the point of production. For example, a brake failure might occur due to poorly manufactured brake pads and not because the driver or owner failed to perform regular maintenance on the truck.
Bad weather
The weather can also play a determining factor in trucking accidents. Rain, snow and ice can cause serious problems for even the most experienced truck driver. In perfect weather conditions, trucks need much more time to stop or complete other maneuvers than do passenger vehicles. In bad weather, they need even more stopping time. Strong side winds can also push a tractor-trailer into your lane.
Incorrect loading
There are certain rules that truck drivers must follow when it comes to securing various loads. For example, how a trucker secures a load depends on the cargo’s length, width, height and weight. If a load is not properly secured, it can come loose, fall into the road and cause an accident.
While understanding the leading causes of truck accidents may help you avoid one, you might find yourself in a position where it is impossible to do so. If you have been involved in a trucking accident you may be able to file a claim for your injuries and other damages.

I finally managed to pick up some more interfacing! With so little time left before Friday, I had to get a wiggle on with preparations. It took a good 4-5 hours of drawing, cutting and ironing but now I have pieces to take to Mum’s tomorrow to sew.
During that time, I watched Warhorse and Breaking Dawn Part 1. I quite like having a film running while I work, especially one I’ve seen before, that way I don’t spend too long watching it and know when to look up for the bits I like!
I’m looking forward to a day of sewing tomorrow.

Fernando de Noronha [4] is an archipelago in Brazil and a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site. Its pristine beaches, landscapes and wildlife attract tourists worldwide..
Flight times are 1:40 from Recife (540 km) and 1:10 from Natal (350 km). Flights by Trip Airlines, Varig and TAM operate daily.
During high season travel operator CVC[5] has 4-6 days cruises from Fortaleza, Natal and Recife..
This is considered the most beautiful beach on the island, although the Pig Bay is considered by many as the most beautiful one. Both are side by side, and you can see both in the same day., often private residences more or less adapted for this type of service, similar to B&B. The quality of the lodgings are indicated by the number of dolphins. There are 3 categories :
Most inns have a website and can be booked online. A full listing can be seen at the official website for Fernando de Noronha() under Turismo - Hospedagem.

So here is a sample entry (this is not my own entry for the contest):
Tigers on Thursday May 28th (vs Orioles)
Dodgers on Saturday May 30th (vs Cubs)
Padres on Friday May 29th (vs Rockies)
So let's say the Tigers win 7-4, Dodgers lose 8-2, and Padres win 5-4. My final score would be 7 from the Tigers, 2 from the Dodgers, and 5 from the Padres, 7+2+5 = 14. It doesn't matter if the teams you pick win or lose, nor do you have to pick one game from each day.
Rules:
- You can pick the same team and game as someone else, but if you completely duplicate an earlier entry, you'll lose on the tiebreaker.
- Ties are broken based on who posted their comment earlier.
- You can enter any time between now when your games start. In other words, your entry cannot contain any games that have already started. So, you can enter on Friday or Saturday if you want, as long as you pick only games that start after your entry is posted. Otherwise, I'll ignore your entry.
- MAKE SURE you put the right days for your games. If you forget or it's unclear, I'll ignore your entry.
Here are the games for Friday May 29th
Here are the games for Saturday May30th
The winner gets a selection of cards.
Night Owl gets +1 because he guessed Shopped Card #4 correctly. You can still earn yourself a bonus point by guessing Shopped Card #1 (be sure to read all the hints in the comments.)
I am also making the jackpot easier to win this week. If you are the winner and one of your selected teams scored 12 or more runs, or your 3-team total is at least 30 runs, you win the jackpot.: A Piece of History Baseball
- 4 bonus insert T-205 design packs from Target Topps 2008 Series 1 Baseball blasters

Dave
A
Andy, I realized that I did not specify which game of the Rangers/A's DH I picked. I ment to go with the 1st game (but it has just started). What will your ruling be?
I was keeping score
looks like andy is going to win
unless the cardinals score 17 lol
Wow...I am stunned by this. I think I am going to stop entering these contests.
AceWild--do you have a full version of that spreadsheet you can send me? It would be quicker to use yours and verify it's correctness. Either way can you email me personally at 88topps at gmail dot com.
Haha, the Andy that posted this got 1 point, while the Andy that won it got 26. That's kind of interesting.
Thanks for doing the contest, Andy. :D
I think it should go to the second place team :P since Andy had 26... and I had 25 with my 3 Rangers games :D
LynchCats---drop me an email at 88topps at gmail dot com and I'll see about hooking you up with a prize.
i think i had 28 runs from the blue jays, rangers, and phillies on saturday.

If you have a heart attack, you have a better chance of surviving if first responders apply a form of continuous chest-compression CPR that medical experts herald as a "hands-only" way for the public to help save lives.
Continuous chest-compression CPR, defined as cardiocerebral resuscitation for paramedics, is used by more than 30 fire departments and emergency medical agencies in Arizona. The average person with no formal training is encouraged to apply a similar technique, which excludes mouth-to-mouth breaths, on many victims.
The technique of minimally interrupted chest compressions is credited with nearly tripling cardiac-arrest victims' chances of survival, said Dr. Ben Bobrow, medical director for the Arizona Department of Health Services' Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma System, citing a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that reviewed 1,243 cases recorded by two Valley fire departments.
The philosophy is to do what licensed paramedics learn: push hard, push fast and increase the chance of survival by circulating oxygenated blood to the victim's heart and brain.
"The problem is, we, humans, are not machines," Bobrow said. "Doing CPR is a very complex psychomotor skill."
Statewide results vary, based on the many variables surrounding a cardiac arrest.
But Bobrow estimated that some Arizona emergency medical providers using cardiocerebral resuscitation, in the Valley and elsewhere, noted survival rates upwards of 31 to 47 percent in some cases.
"There's a huge amount of improvement still to be had," said Bobrow, adding that survival rates floundered at 3 percent in 2004 for Arizona residents who suffered cardiac arrests outside hospitals.
"(EMS agencies) tripled the survival rate, and they can actually still do it better," Bobrow said. "What it really comes down to is the quality of the chest compressions."
Bobrow said the best thing a member of the public can do for most heart-attack victims is to call 911 and to push rapidly on the person's chest.
Phoenix Fire Department officials claim survival rates over the past three years jumped from 3 percent to as much as 21 percent, in some cases, where paramedics performed cardiocerebral resuscitation in the field.
"I was convinced CPR didn't do anything," said Dr. John Gallagher, director of emergency medical services for the Phoenix Fire Department.
"Now I'm convinced it does everything to set someone up to be defibrillated and to survive the cardiac arrest."
Hands-only CPR encourages the average person to pump on a cardiac-arrest victim's chest 200 times every two minutes, which is similar to what paramedics in Phoenix, Scottsdale and elsewhere apply in the field in many cases.
DHS officials recently developed a video and training kit on the technique. Others travel around Arizona to teach schoolchildren the simple way to help paramedics save lives.
The depth and pace of compressions are what make them effective. This fall, researchers at the University of Illinois College of Medicine said the Bee Gees' 1970s disco tune Stayin' Alive could be used as a hands-only CPR training tool because the song has a near-ideal 103 beats per minute.
Phoenix fire Capt. Tom McCracken, who oversees community education for the United Phoenix Firefighters Association, said many of the thousands of novices the union trains annually find the technique easier to use than traditional CPR because it is easier to remember and requires fewer steps.
"One of the things we always tell people is the more you can do for a patient before we get there, the better chance they'll have to survive," he said.
Leedel Burton, of the Phoenix Fire Department, gives CPR to a mannequin.

Self care is a very broad topic that has several crucial aspects to it. Self care also changes from one person to the other depending on what their needs are. However, the basic concept and principles of self care are pretty much the same all around and the key idea behind this is essentially the same. Self care can be defined as the process of taking care of one’s needs and making sure that the person has what he or she feels like they want at that point in their life, it could be a simple thing such as a certain food or something a bit more complex like needing some guidance during a difficult time. Like mentioned previously, self care differs from one person to the next and the only person who will really understand the wants and needs of you is simply you; that is, only you will know what is good for you and what you would like. Anyone can come into your life and claim they know you better when in reality it is only you who can make the decisions most appropriate for yourself. Let’s look at a few self-care methods:
Your Health Is An Uncompromisable Aspect
The building blocks of your self care is based on your actual physical health. This can include a whole range of things such as your physique, your dental health, your mental health and so on. It is crucial that you pay attention to each and every aspect of your physical health when it comes to maintaining your health. The reason for this is that if you are not healthy or fit on a regular basis then this will start to seep into every other aspect of your life resulting in a ripple effect. Take care of your health, make those appointments with a dentist in williamstown, get your annual medical done, get your eyes checked and everything else that will ensure that you are functioning well and without an issue.
Your Choice Of Food Is Very Important As Well
What you eat is essentially what you become, quite literally. The molecules in your food are what is used to build up your body structures such as skin, bone and cells, so basically whatever nutrients you let your body have in the food you consume, you are adding the building blocks of your self. Therefore, it is quite evident that this is one thing that will require a significant amount of attention. You must monitor what you eat and make sure that you give your body everything it needs to grow the cells and repair your body as needed without depriving it of essential nutrients.
Mental Health Is Probably The Most Important Aspect Of Self-Care
Mental health is not given sufficient attention that it should be given because this is probably the most important aspect of self-care. If you are not mentally satisfied and content then nothing you do with your life will ever bring you happiness. On most occasions, poor mental health has negative impacts on your physical health as well and the effects can be quite drastic. It is very important that you do not neglect your mental health.

The pending topics mechanism is very important concept in CS. I have reviewed the documentation and there really isn’t a lot of information about how the pending stack is manipulated. I have had times when I had to force a topic into pending and more times that I have been unable to get a topic out of pending.
Bruce would you tell us:
1) All of the circumstances that cause a topic to be added to the top of the pending stack.
2) All of the circumstances that cause a topic to be removed from any place in the pending stack
3) Any circumstances where ^poptopic() will not remove a topic from the pending stack.
By circumstances, I mean not only system functions like ^pending() ^end() and ^poptopic() but also things like ^respond() ^gambit() ^reuse() and rejoinders from the control script. Finally, are there special concerns if these things are called from a topic that is already in the pending stack?
I know this is a bit generalized. But I may not be the only person who is confused by this. I feel that I am writing a lot of code to organize my active topics that could be eliminated if I had a correct and complete understanding of the pending topics stack.
Thanks,
Stephen G.

Something in my Celtic DNA makes me love Halloween. I wait all year for this. It's my super bowl, my world series, my St. Patricks Day, my best day of all. For me, Halloween begins the week proceeding All Hallows Eve and runs until the Monday after Thanksgiving. It includes Halloween prep, The Day of the Dead, Katy Day, all the exciting Thanksgiving preparations, the big day and let down afterwards. The rest of the year is simply filler.
Not that I particularly do anything special, but I do have my routines. I reread Washington Irving's stories, especially Rip Van Winkle and Ichabod Crane. Build a scarecrow, watch The Great Pumpkin and Sleepy Hollow each for the hundredth time, chop firewood, and prepare for my annual argument with Mrs. T about how much trick or treat candy to have on hand.
This is our only major argument. 5+ lbs each of Snickers, Butterfingers and Baby Ruth's seem appropriate to me. Mrs. T sees the world through very dark glasses, believes we. So what if it rains tonight!
Whatever your plans, have fun.

Voters in a large portion of Lubbock, all of Idalou and parts of New Deal and Abernathy soon may be asked to sign a petition for an election to legalize the sale of packaged beer and wine.
However, petition organizer Roger Settler must file an acceptable application with the county election administrator before the long and highly structured legal process can begin.
Settler, a candidate for Lub bock mayor in the May 15 election, filed an incomplete application Tuesday, according to election administrator Dorothy Kennedy.
Settler formed the People's Liquor Coalition to legalize beer and wine sales in Lub bock County Commis sioner Precinct 3 and said he intends to complete the application this week.

Phillips, 54, said he decided it was time to forge another career path. He will teach for a year at the South Texas College of Law in Houston while considering long-term plans.
While Phillips said he had grown weary of the court's "assembly-line" work, he spoke mostly with respect for the institution he has headed with the third-longest tenure in state history.
"Sparring over Skilling incident continues": The AP reports here that:
The sparring over whether former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling's bond should be more expensive and restricted because of a drunken scuffle in New York continued Thursday as prosecutors dismissed complaints that they publicized a distorted account of the incident.

"Ex-officer gets 30 days for stealing from suspect": The Houston Chronicle reports here that:
A former Houston police officer was sentenced to 30 days in jail Wednesday after pleading guilty to stealing money from a person he arrested.
Joseph Hubert, 54, was charged in December after internal affairs investigators set up a sting operation in response to complaints about the 18-year veteran.
A person he arrested had $400 cash, but $110 was missing when they got back to the police station, prosecutors said. He pleaded guilty to theft and tampering with a government document, which could have landed him in jail for up to two years.

"Backyard files suit against Milam": The Austin Business Journal reports here that:
Claiming concerts might have to be canceled, the operators of the popular music venue The Backyard have taken to court a parking dispute against the developer of two controversial retail projects in the Bee Cave area.
Travis County-based Ready to Receive Inc. and Direct Events Inc., which own and operate The Backyard, sued Milam Galleria Holdings LLC and HCS Holding Co. LLP on April 27 in Travis County District Court. Chris Milam, CEO of Austin-based International Development Management LLC, is the developer of two nearby projects, The Shops at the Galleria and the Hill Country Galleria.
At issue at is parking -- the right for 2,200 vehicles to park on land now owned by the defendants. That land, 18 acres adjacent to The Backyard, previously was owned by Spanish Oaks Commercial Partnership LP. A Spanish Oaks representative couldn't be reached for comment.
The Backyard's operators claim that when the land changed hands, Milam's companies failed to honor terms of a previous lease enabling 2,200 vehicles to park on the property. Specific claims include trespassing and tortious interference with contracts.
Milam denies the allegations. He says the parking deal originated with the previous landowner, not with his companies.

During his term on the court, Phillips, 54, pushed to change the state's current system of electing judges and instead have the governor appoint judges who could then be voted out of office.
Phillips received his bachelor's degree from Baylor University and a law degree from Harvard Law School. He worked for several years as a trial attorney in Houston and was appointed in 1981 by Gov. William P. Clements as judge of the 280th District Court in Houston.

"Candidate asks judge to reject lawsuit over primary voters": The AP reports here that:
Congressional challenger Henry Cuellar said Wednesday that U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez was legally too late to make claims about unqualified Webb County voters casting ballots in last month's Democratic primary.
In court papers filed Wednesday in Laredo, Cuellar asked retired Judge Joseph Hart, who is hearing the case, to not accept Rodriguez's amended lawsuit, filed Tuesday, which states that Cuellar's slender lead in District 28 is a result of illegal voting in his home county.
Cuellar's legal filing asserts that by pointing at the Webb County voters, Rodriguez is trying to improperly broaden the scope of his original lawsuit, which cites unspecified irregularities in voting, vote counting and in a recount in late March.
The filing also repeated earlier assertions that Rodriguez's lawsuit is too skimpy on details and asked the court to force the seven-year incumbent to provide the names of improper voters and other specifics within 24 hours.
"Suit alleges racism at Euless restaurant": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that:
An Irving woman has filed a federal lawsuit claiming that she was subjected to racist treatment at the Waffle House in Euless in July 2002.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by Johnnie Merrill and her daughter in U.S. District Court in Dallas, is the latest of several lawsuits that accuse the Georgia-based company of racist treatment of African-American customers.
"Sex shops! 'Triple-X truck stops'! All from selling alcohol!": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that:
A few years into the 21st century, voters in Burleson and other local cities are still deciding whether to leave the 1950s.
Voters want better supermarkets and more restaurants. For that, they'll need to OK selling beer, wine and restaurant mixed drinks.
The election is May 15.
In a backlash straight out of Prohibition, the local temperance union has mounted an all-out attack against demon rum.
In White Settlement, one pastor is comparing drinkers to Saddam Hussein. In Burleson, one City Council challenger is frightfully predicting an onslaught of "triple-X truck stops."
Look, I doubt that anyone is going to take up drinking just because they no longer have to cross the county line or city limit.
So selling Shiner Bock or Pearl Light doesn't add more drunks. It simply keeps tax money closer to home.
Voters in Trophy Club figured that out in February. They approved beer, wine and mixed-drink sales with 94 percent of the vote.
On the other side of the argument, nobody wants to encourage drunken drivers or teen-age binge drinkers.

"State fund for reimbursing trial witnesses runs dry": The AP reports here that:
Texas' fund for reimbursing travel, lodging and meal costs for criminal trial witnesses is empty, and state officials are scrambling to find money elsewhere so counties aren't stuck with the tab.
Lawmakers during last year's legislative session slashed funding for witness expenses by about 50 percent — from $1.1 million in 2002-03 to $600,000 this year. The fund has already been depleted, some five months before the start of the fiscal appropriation year in September.
Prosecutors say they're frustrated about the funding shortfall but will keep trying cases.
"Candidates hope to keep third party ads out of campaign": The AP reports here that:
Two Texans in a pitched battle for the same U.S. House seat are sending letters to hundreds of third-party groups, telling them their advertisements are not wanted in the 32nd congressional race.
Democratic Rep. Martin Frost and Republican Pete Sessions, both of Dallas and up for re-election in November, signed an agreement to bar unapproved third-party advertising from the contest. They pledged to send the letter to local, state and national organizations.
The two incumbents ended up vying for the same seat because Texas' Legislature redrew congressional district boundaries last year, carving up Frost's former District 24 so that a Republican would be heavily favored.
The candidates pledged to "publicly disavow" any advertisement of any sort that has not been authorized by one of the campaigns. They also asked third parties already advertising to cease the ads.
"Texas Lawyer launches quarterly pub[lication]": The Dallas Business Journal reports here that:
Texas Lawyer, a Dallas-based trade publication aimed at legal professionals, said Tuesday it has launched a quarterly magazine called Executive Legal Adviser. The magazine explores legal issues affecting business executives in Texas. It is written and edited by the staff of Texas Lawyer and includes contributions from business attorneys.
Texas Lawyer said it will host a launch event for the new venture on June 10 in Houston. The publication date of the first issue was April 21, and the magazine is distributed free of charge, Texas Lawyer said.

"Law School Turf War Ignites. The Federalist Society vies with emerging American Constitution Society":
An ideological turf war has erupted in law schools, as liberals push against what they call a conservative dominance of American law. Enter the American Constitution Society, formed to counter the powerful Federalist Society. Saying the Federalist Society does not speak "for all the people," former Attorney General and ACS board member Janet Reno adds, "Law students want something real. They want to understand how they can participate and what a difference they can make."Tresa Baldas of the National Law Journal has this report.
"Rejecting the All-or-Nothing Approach in the Moussaoui Case and the Guantanamo Detainees Oral Argument":
FindLaw columnist and Columbia law professor Michael Dorf compares two recent war-on-terrorism cases, and applauds the courts involved for taking a balanced, rather than an extreme, approach. One case is that of Zacarias Moussaoui -- who allegedly conspired to try to become "twentieth hijacker" in the 9/11 attacks. Moussaoui asked for his indictment to be dismissed unless he could call certain witnesses; the government said it need not produce the witnesses due to national security concerns; the court let the indictment stand but compelled the government to produce the witnesses' statements. The other case is the Guantanamo detainees case before the Supreme Court, in which the Justices seem to be looking for a middle ground.
"City reaffirms opposition to Patriot Act": The El Paso Times reports here that:
El Paso, by a split City Council vote Tuesday, became the 299th city in the country to adopt a resolution opposing the USA Patriot Act, which gave sweeping powers to security and law-enforcement authorities after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The council passed over a toughly worded measure supported by about 60 UTEP students, faculty members and others to adopt a milder version drafted by Northeast Rep. John Cook, a Vietnam War veteran, asserting that the Patriot Act infringes on important constitutional rights.
"Doggett targets 'sham' tax write-off. Companies say $2 billion-a-year benefit aids economy, environment": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
By merely spraying coal with latex or other additives, companies receive $2 billion a year in "synthetic fuel" tax breaks even though the coal burns no differently, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett charges.
"This entire synfuel industry is basically a sham," the Austin Democrat said Tuesday. "I think it's one of the worst tax loopholes on the books."
Today, Doggett will introduce a bill to kill the tax credits, which are remnants of the energy crises of the 1970s, when Congress sought to encourage the creation of home-grown fuels.
Instead, the companies -- ranging from energy conglomerates to the largest U.S. hotel chain -- are generating healthy financial returns, not new sources of energy, Doggett said.
"Mexican court upholds conviction in killing of U.S. journalist": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
Two Huichol Indians have been found responsible for the killing of a U.S. journalist and are being sought by Mexican authorities, according to an attorney for the journalist's family.
The Indians, Juan Chivarra and Miguel Hernandez, previously were convicted in the 1998 killing of Philip True, a reporter for the San Antonio Express-News. But the men were freed while they appealed the verdict.
Jorge Ochoa, attorney for the True family, said an arrest warrant was issued for Chivarra and Hernandez after a court rejected their appeal.
"Internet-based child porn ring that lured thousands uncovered": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that:
A joint investigation conducted by Dallas police and FBI agents has uncovered an Internet-based child pornography operation with 23,000 customers throughout the United States, officials said Monday.
Operation Site-Key, which began in April 2001, has so far resulted in 51 convictions in the United States for possession of child pornography. With a list of 23,000 suspected subscribers of child pornography Web sites, police and FBI agents warn they're just getting started.
"Wife who stabbed husband wants to see kids": The Houston Chronicle reports here that "Susan Wright hopes a murder conviction will not keep her from seeing her children. The 28-year-old mother who was found guilty in March of stabbing her husband nearly 200 times is fighting a new court battle, this one over visitation rights with her 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter."
"House plan shifts Texans' tax burden. Consumer taxes would rise, property taxes fall": The Houston Chronicle reports here that:
Texans would save about one-third on their property taxes but would pay higher sales taxes and face new taxes on services such as oil changes, haircuts and visits to the vet under a plan unveiled Tuesday before a House committee.
The long-awaited plan of the House leadership was surprising in its breadth, offering a comprehensive way to lower property taxes and fund $1 billion in new education spending. The plan would raise enough revenue to replace $5 billion in lost property taxes plus the new spending.
Except for provisions on video gambling and cigarette taxes, House Speaker Tom Craddick's plan is vastly different from one offered by Gov. Rick Perry, who called lawmakers into special session to devise a new school finance system and provide property tax relief.
Perry's plan offers less property tax relief and relies on revenue from "sin" taxes rather than sales and business taxes. Perry said the House proposal merits "thoughtful and thorough consideration."
"Suit alleges scores of fraudulent votes in Laredo area": The AP reports here that:
U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez filed an amendment to a lawsuit Tuesday that states that his challenger, Henry Cuellar, took the lead in a primary election recount because more than 100 ineligible voters cast ballots in the Laredo area in the March 9 primary.
The document states that some people did not live at the addresses at which they were registered to vote in the 28th Congressional District; other voters gave addresses that are abandoned houses, vacant lots or do not exist.
In some cases, people who did not vote were shown to have cast ballots, and in other instances, false information was given to election officials by people in order to vote, the amendment states.

"Jurors hit drug maker for $1 billion": The Knight Ridder News Service reports here that:
The family of a Texas woman was awarded $1.013 billion Tuesday by a Beaumont jury, which found the drug maker Wyeth was responsible for the woman's death about six years after she took one of the company's fen-phen diet drugs.
Tuesday, April 27, 2004
"Family of woman who took diet drug awarded more than $1 billion": The AP reports here that:
The family of a woman who took a diet drug called Pondimin was awarded more than $1 billion by a Jefferson County jury Tuesday.Here is Wyeth's press release regarding the verdict.
Cynthia Cappel-Coffey died last year after being diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension — which attorneys for her family claimed resulted from her use of the drug.
Cappel-Coffey took the drug for five months in 1997, according to her attorneys. She was diagnosed with PPH in 2002 and died the following year. She was 41 years old.
Houston Attorney John O'Quinn, who represented Cappel-Coffey's family, said Wyeth was negligent and "acted with 'malice' in marketing of this drug by putting its making of money ahead of human life and safety."
Wyeth, the company which produces the drug, said it had provided adequate warnings about the risk of PPH associated with the drug and had complied with Food and Drug Administration regulations.
The New Jersey-based drug company said it would appeal the verdict and noted that PPH cases represent a fraction of diet drug litigation.
"House looking at payroll tax plus expanded sales tax for Texas": The Houston Chronicle reports here that:
House Speaker Tom Craddick said today that the House is considering a payroll tax and expanded sales taxes to pay for property tax cuts and new education spending.
The details will be rolled out this afternoon by the House Select Committee on Public Education.
In addition to $1 billion in new education spending, Craddick said the House is looking at lowering the $1.50 cap on school property taxes to $1 for every $100 of a property's assessed value.
To pay for that, the committee is proposing eliminating the corporate franchise tax, which most businesses already have restructured to avoid, and enacting a new business tax on payroll. Craddick said the tax could be either 1 percent of payroll or a set amount per employee. There would be a cap to protect businesses that have large numbers of employees, the Republican speaker said.
"San Antonio judge charged with child indecency": The AP reports here that:
An administrative law judge accused of having sex with a local teenager may face additional charges arising from an incident last year in which he was found returning from Mexico with three underage girls.
Forrest Elmo Stewart, 77, of San Antonio currently faces a state charge of felony indecency with a child by sexual contact. He was arrested in a Victoria hotel last week.
Stewart, who presides over cases involving Social Security benefits, was in the process of being released from custody Tuesday on a $100,000 bond, Bexar County jail officials said.
According to an arrest affidavit, Stewart paid $100 on a number of occasions to have sex with a 16-year-old girl in several houses and motels around the city.
The investigation that led to Stewart's arrest began after he was arrested with the young girls in May 2003 in Freer in Duval County, law enforcement officials told the San Antonio Express-News.
"State cuts title insurance rates. Commissioner orders 6.8 percent drop": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
Texas homeowners will get a break on title insurance, with a 6.8 percent cut ordered Tuesday by Insurance Commissioner Jose Montemayor.
With the cut, title insurance on a $100,000 house will be $871, down from $1,023 in 1998.
People buy title insurance when they buy a property and when they refinance their mortgages. The insurance protects buyers and mortgage lenders against any problems with the title to the house.
Unlike other types of insurance, title insurance rates are set by the state every two years and all companies must charge the same rate.
"Texas congressman turns up heat on 9/11 commissioner. In a letter signed by 74 other House Republicans, Rep. Lamar Smith questioned Jamie Gorelick's impartiality and criticized her for leaving law enforcement unprepared to stop terrorists": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
Continuing the Republican pressure on a Democratic member of the Sept. 11 commission, Rep. Lamar Smith on Monday questioned Jamie Gorelick's impartiality and criticized her for leaving law enforcement unprepared to stop terrorists.
The San Antonio congressman, in a letter also signed by 74 other House Republicans, asked Gorelick to provide a fuller accounting of her role in shaping intelligence-sharing policies as deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration.
"A review of the record indicates that there clearly were steps you and Attorney General (Janet) Reno could have taken to better prepare the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice to meet the challenges of international terrorism," the letter states.
Gorelick -- one of five Democrats on the 10-member panel investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks -- received the letter but had no immediate response, a friend said Monday.
"Supreme Court Hears Cheney Secrecy Case": Gina Holland of the AP reports here that:
The Constitution gives presidents and vice presidents power to gather advice and make decisions without being forced to reveal every detail of how those decisions are made, the Bush administration's top Supreme Court lawyer argued Tuesday.
"This is a case about the separation of powers," Solicitor General Theodore Olson told the justices at the start of lively arguments about privacy in White House policy-making.
The nearly three-year fight over access to records of Vice President Dick Cheney's work on a national energy strategy came to the high court after a federal judge ordered what Olson called a broad, unconstitutional release of White House documents..
"Social Security judge's charges have involved underage girls": The San Antonio Express-News reports here that:
For 20 years, Forrest Elmo Stewart had a hand in deciding whether people received Social Security benefits.
But the 77-year-old administrative law judge with the Social Security Administration now will face another jurist, having been charged with indecency with a child by sexual contact.
The investigation that led to the charge stretches back almost a year, according to court records and law enforcement officials.
According to an arrest affidavit filed last week, the San Antonio resident paid $100 on several occasions to have sex with a 16-year-old girl.
The document details several encounters in houses and motels around the city and said one of those may have been brokered through a woman Stewart knows.
Authorities said Stewart, who was arrested in a Victoria hotel where he sometimes traveled for work, may face additional federal charges.
The investigation began after Stewart was arrested in May 2003 in Freer, where he was found returning from Mexico with three underage girls for reasons that a local police chief said did not make sense.

"Justice doesn't always translate across border": The San Antonio Express-News reports here that:
With a justice system even its own president brands corrupt, Mexico would seem hard pressed to criticize how accused criminals are treated in the United States.
But that is what is happening, as Mexico calls on the United States to abide by a recent World Court ruling to review the cases of 51 Mexican nationals on death row.
United States Supreme Court: The Court will hear oral argument in one case today. That case, Cheney v. United States District Court, No. 03-475, presents the following questions:
1. Whether the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 1 §§ 1 et seq. can be construed, consistent with the Constitution, principles of separation of powers, and this Court's decisions governing judicial review of Executive Branch actions,.
"Democrats lobby for health funding. 2 file bills to reverse spending cuts": The Houston Chronicle reports here that:
Democrats and child advocates pleaded Monday for lawmakers to reverse deep cuts to health care programs for children, but health officials say they intend to bar thousands more children from coverage instead.
Democratic Reps. Elliott Naishtat of Austin and Garnet Coleman of Houston said they have filed bills to reverse health care spending cuts across the board by tapping into $1.2 billion in available money.
They asked Gov. Rick Perry to add health and human service issues to his call for a special session on school finance, arguing that unhealthy children can't learn no matter how schools are financed.
"Feds asked to suspend PAC probe. Contributions legal, U.S. attorney is told": The Houston Chronicle reports here that:
A national conservative group is asking federal prosecutors to drop an investigation into the financial activities of a political committee founded by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land.
The American Conservative Union told U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton of San Antonio that the 2002 campaign finance activities of DeLay's Texans for a Republican Majority should not be subject to a criminal investigation.
"Your office should take no action ... for the simple reason that the contributions were made legally and in accordance with the applicable state and federal law in effect during the 2002 election cycle," wrote David Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union.
The advocacy organization Judicial Watch has filed a complaint against Texans for a Republican Majority, claiming it conducted illegal money laundering in 2002 to funnel corporate money to GOP candidates for the Texas House.

"Energy firms reach $280 million settlement with California": The AP reports here that:
Dynegy Inc. and NRG Energy Inc. struck a deal to wipe out more than $280 million in unpaid electricity bills during California's energy crisis, state officials said Monday.
The settlement resolves refund claims and accusations the companies charged unjust or unreasonable electricity rates after October 2000. It also includes $50.9 million to settle claims before October 2000, which federal regulators wouldn't consider.
"Police told to make 2 traffic stops per day": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that:
West side patrol officers are under new orders: Make two traffic stops a day or face a penalty that includes having days off changed or being reassigned to a different beat, shift or district.
The policy, described in a memo obtained by the Star-Telegram as an active approach to decreasing serious crime in west Fort Worth, disturbs some officers to whom it sounds similar to an illegal quota.
"To me, this is a thinly veiled attempt at a quota, and I don't like it," said Lee Jackson, president of the Fort Worth Police Officers Association, which represents more than 1,200 members of the department.
The state transportation code prohibits ticket quotas.
Police Chief Ralph Mendoza said that he did not initiate the new policy, which he learned about last week, and that he doesn't know who did. But he said he sees nothing wrong with the two-traffic-stop policy. He insisted that it is not an imposed quota.
"Judge declares mistrial in Hays landfill case. Four of 12 jurors reported seeing headline on Statesman article": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
A state District Court judge in Hays County on Monday declared a mistrial in a 2-week-old civil trial to determine who is responsible for disposing of the lead-tainted waste mistakenly sent to the Texas Disposal Systems landfill in Creedmoor.
Judge Gary Steel granted the mistrial motion by Zenith Electronics Corp. and Penske Truck Leasing Co., whose lawyers argued that jurors could have been improperly influenced by an article that appeared Saturday in the Austin American-Statesman.
Texas Disposal Systems is suing the two companies, saying they are legally responsible for paying for the proper disposal of their hazardous waste, sent to the municipal waste landfill after a 1997 truck wreck on Interstate 35.
According to a draft transcript of Monday's proceedings, none of the 12 jurors reported reading the article, though four jurors told the judge they had seen the headline: "Landfill is suing for toxic mistake; top-rated site near Austin stuck with tons of lead-laden waste."
"Proposals to expand gambling surface in House. Committee crafting finance bill hears proposals for video lottery machines": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
The House committee working on an education bill Monday considered two proposals to expand the state's lottery to include slot-like machines.
State Reps. Ron Wilson, D-Houston, and Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, introduced proposals for video lottery terminals to the House Select Committee on Public School Finance, of which they are members.
Both plans would allow the terminals at racetracks and on Indian reservations. However, Wilson's proposal would require racetracks to give 40 percent of their video lottery revenue, after prize money has been paid, to the state. Tribes operating the machines would have to share 8 percent of their net revenue.
"Congressman expected to offer details in District 28 lawsuit": The AP reports here that:
Attorneys for U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez reportedly have new evidence in the congressman's lawsuit against a Democratic challenger over what the incumbent claimed were election irregularities.
Amended documents in the lawsuit alleging more than 500 people who voted in the primary here are registered at vacant addresses or at homes where they do not live were expected to be filed Tuesday, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
A seven-year congressional incumbent, Rodriguez sued Cuellar two weeks ago after losing his re-election bid in a recount following the March 9 primary.

"Pair proud to have helped defeat state's sodomy law": The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports here that:
Two men whose 1998 arrests led to a U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down bans on sodomy, say they are proud to have helped defeat an unjust law.
Speaking together for the first time since the case began, John Lawrence and Tyron Garner told The Houston Chronicle for a Sunday story that they are overwhelmed by the support they received and are glad the case is over.
"Supreme Court to Decide Tax Fairness Case": Gina Holland of the AP reports here that:
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to review the government's way of resolving large tax disputes, accepting a challenge that claims taxpayers can be hit with multimillion-dollar judgments without knowing how the decision was reached.
Justices will hear a constitutional challenge to the little-known and technical process for people who fight government demands for taxes. At issue are the largest cases - those involving more than $50,000, in which special judges hold trials and forward recommendations to the U.S. Tax Court for rulings.
"Magistrate arrested on suspicion of indecency with a child": The San Antonio Express-News reports here that:
A San Antonio federal administrative magistrate arrested last week on suspicion of indecency with a child is scheduled for a bond hearing today.
Acting on a statement obtained from an alleged female victim, authorities arrested Forrest Elmo Stewart, 77, of San Antonio, early Thursday morning at a hotel in Victoria. He is being held in Bexar County Jail.
The alleged victim was not at the hotel with Stewart at the time of his arrest, said Tom Vinger, a spokesman with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
"Court Won't Reinstate Prayer at School": The AP reports here that:
The.
United States Supreme Court: The Court will hear oral arguments in two cases today. The first, Pliler v. Ford, No. 03-221, presents the following questions:
(1) Is the dismissal of a "mixed" habeas petition improper unless the district court informs the petitioner about the possibility of a stay of proceeding pending exhaustion of state remedies and advises the petitioner with repsect to a statute of limitations in the event of any refiling? (2) Can a second, untimely habeas petition relate back to the first habeas petition, when the first petition was dismissed and the first proceeding is no longer pending?The second, F. Hoffman La-Roche v. Empagran S.A., No. 03-724, presents the following question:
Whether the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act of 1982 (FTAIA), 15 U.S.C. 6a, provides jurisdiction under the Sherman Act over the claims of a foreign plaintiff injured by a conspiracy having direct, substantial, and reasonably foreseeable anticompetitive effects on United States trade or commerce, when the foreign plaintiff's claimed injury does not arise from those domestic effects.
"Vitamin Fight Could Energize Foreign Suits. Supreme Court takes up high-stakes price-fixing case": Lily Henning of the Legal Times reports:
In a multibillion-dollar price-fixing case pitting foreign vitamin buyers against vitamin sellers, the Supreme Court will hear arguments today on whether buyers who purchased products overseas had the right to bring suit in the United States in the first place. If it answers yes, the Court could clear the way for massive private claims by foreign plaintiffs in U.S. courts. And business advocates and government officials are raising flags.
"Did your time? Groups want you to vote. Get-out-the-vote drive targets ex-felons": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
It's a common misconception that ex-felons can't vote. Even ex-felons think they're barred in Texas, says Eva Owens, director of the nonpartisan Texas Criminal Justice Reform Coalition in Austin.
It is true that Texans with felony convictions once could not vote. But in 1983, a permanent ban was replaced with a five-year waiting period after felons finished their sentences. That later became a two-year period, and in 1997, then-Gov. George W. Bush enacted legislation eliminating that wait.
Voting rights are left up to the states. All except Vermont and Maine prohibit felony prisoners from voting, and six states permanently ban all ex-offenders, even those who've completed their sentences. (Seven others permanently ban certain felony offenders, but some may restore voting rights through a difficult pardon, appeal or clemency process.)
Texas is among 15 states that exclude all felony prisoners, probationers and parolees.
The state laws that ban or restrict the voting rights of felons keep an estimated 4.7 million citizens -- 1 in 43 adults in the United States -- from voting; more than half a million in Texas.
In the 1970s the U.S. Supreme Court held that preventing felons from voting is constitu- tional.
Should felons, even former felons, have the right to vote? Ever? The questions can inflame passions and trigger opinions on everything from justice in a democratic society to victims' rights, civil rights and the legacy of laws that once barred all but wealthy, white, male landowners from voting.

House leaders rolled out an innovative method for distributing state money to public schools on Saturday, as a House education committee continues to consider new ways to overhaul the way Texas pays for educating children.
The proposed funding plan would give schools a set amount of money, differentiating for the first time between the cost of primary and high school students.

Appeals court threw out previous victory for family": The Houston Chronicle reports here that "[t]he multimillion dollar malpractice case of a Humble man who suffered brain damage in a botched back surgery is heading to the Texas Supreme Court. The high court, in a move that surprised some legal observers, agreed to consider the case at the request of the family of Ricardo Romero, who suffered a work injury in 1998. 'It'll be scheduled in the future, probably not until the fall,' said Osler McCarthy, a court spokesman, noting the justices are nearing the end of hearing oral arguments for the current term."
"Famous ex-couple show support for son in court": The Houston Chronicle reports here that "[a]ctors Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal wiped away tears in a Houston courtroom Friday as they watched a judge order their 19-year-old son to undergo residential drug treatment for heroin addiction. Redmond O'Neal, of Malibu, Calif., was staying at his maternal grandfather's northwest Harris County home when he was arrested and charged with forgery on Jan. 7, 2003. Authorities said he tried to cash a fake check at a hardware store on FM 1960. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss the charges in April 2003 on the condition that the teen successfully complete a drug treatment program, but he failed to do so."
"Landmark segregation case was slow to bear fruit, historian says. 1954 ruling became effective only in the 1990s, John Hope Franklin says at Heman Sweatt symposium": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
The landmark decision that declared segregation in public schools illegal 50 years ago took several decades to become effective, African American historian John Hope Franklin said Friday night at the University of Texas.
As a researcher and historian working on plaintiff Linda Brown's team, Franklin had some direct insight into the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, in which the Supreme Court made segregation in all public schools illegal.
He said the case was "almost forgotten" during the Civil Rights era and only resurfaced in the collective consciousness in the 1990s.
"Lawmakers to unveil school spending plan today. Districts would get more money for bilingual, low-income students": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
Members of a House committee don't yet agree on how they should raise money for public education, but today they're going to discuss how to spend it.
A proposal the committee will unveil today would pump at least $700 million more into the system in the 2005-06 school year, including additional money for low-income and bilingual education students.
It also would require that payments to school districts be adjusted for inflation each year. In addition, the cost of education index, which accounts for regional differences, would be updated. It hasn't been updated in more than a decade.

"Nader criticizes Perry over school finance plan": The AP reports here that:
Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader on Friday criticized Republican Gov. Rick Perry over his plan to fund schools partially by allowing video lottery terminals at racetracks and Indian casinos.
"We should not be funding education by encouraging gambling, which produces addiction, breaks up families, strikes hard at lower income people and represents the decay of any society in history," Nader said.
Perry has defended the plan, saying Texas voters should have a choice about whether to legalize and regulate the machines, which are similar to slot machines. Perry's office has estimated Texas would raise about $2 billion in almost three years from video gambling.
"Handling of hazardous waste creating a stink in Creedmoor. Landfill operator sues to enforce waste rules":
On prairie land 10 miles southeast of downtown Austin, 99 large containers filled with a festering mix of hazardous waste and household trash sit waiting for transport to a safe burial. With temperatures rising, so will the stench.The Austin American-Statesman has the rest of the story.
It's a surreal predicament for Bob Gregory. His Texas Disposal Systems landfill, where the sealed containers languish, is widely regarded as the best-designed, best-run municipal waste landfill in Texas. So say his neighbors, state regulators, environmental activists -- even the governor's office, which in 2002 honored the company with a Texas Environmental Excellence Award.
Gregory's only vocal detractors seem to be Zenith Electronics Corp. and Penske Truck Leasing Co., the companies he is suing because their lead-laden waste mistakenly was sent to Texas Disposal Systems after a 1997 truck wreck on Interstate 35.
Their lawyers, including legal powerhouse Baker Botts, are in state District Court in Hays County arguing that the two companies have no obligation to pay the $400,000 it will cost to legally dispose of about 1,600 tons in a landfill designed to accept industrial hazardous waste.
"Vatican official: Deny Communion to politicians favoring abortion rights. Leaders who don't publicly uphold teachings aren't fit, official says": The Washington Post reports here that:
A top Vatican official said Friday that Roman Catholic politicians who support abortion rights should be denied Communion, as church officials in the United States debate how to respond to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's position in favor of abortion rights.
Cardinal Francis Arinze, at a Vatican news conference about liturgical abuses, declined to say whether the Massachusetts senator should be denied Communion. Instead, he spoke generally about Catholic politicians who do not uphold church teachings in their public lives.

"House seeks to prepare itself for devastating attack": The AP reports here that:
Recognizing its own vulnerability in the age of terrorism, the House has agreed to speed up special elections to replenish its numbers when 100 or more lawmakers die in an attack.
"This bill will guarantee the failure of any terrorist attempt to decapitate the legislative branch of the United States," Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said after the 306-97 vote Thursday.
Under the legislation, the House speaker could declare "exceptional circumstances" when 100 or more seats in the 435-seat body are left vacant by a catastrophic event, triggering special elections in affected districts that must be held within 45 days. The House approved an amendment protecting the voting rights of military personnel under the expedited system.
While the final vote was decisive, many Democrats warned that speeding up elections was not enough and, at a time of terrible crisis, could expose Congress to weeks of lacking the manpower or the authority to act. Many sought a constitutional amendment that would allow temporary appointments of lawmakers before elections could be held.
"Retirees may lose health benefits": The New York Times reports here that "[t]he Equal Employment Opportunity Commission voted Thursday to allow employers to reduce or eliminate company-paid health benefits for retirees when they become eligible for Medicare at age 65. The agency approved a final rule saying that such cuts do not violate the civil rights law banning age discrimination. The vote was 3-1, with Republicans supporting the rule and a Democrat opposing it. Employers and some labor unions backed the change, saying it would help preserve coverage for early retirees. But AARP, which represents millions of Americans age 50 and older, strenuously objected."
"Georgetown liquor laws under fire. Restaurants want to kill rule that patrons must have club membership for alcohol service": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
A coalition of downtown Georgetown businesses is preparing to challenge liquor laws that require restaurant patrons to join a private club before they can be served alcohol.
The group will start gathering signatures at the city's Red Poppy Festival this weekend to call an election in September that would allow the unencumbered sale of alcohol at all restaurants north of Texas 29 and east of Interstate 35.
As it stands now, restaurants outside that area -- including those in the new Wolf Ranch retail development -- can sell alcohol freely to people 21 and older. Most of the restaurants east of the interstate, including those on the city's historic courthouse square, must abide by older local laws that require customers who drink to fill out a club membership card and sometimes pay a nominal fee.
In addition to being a bookkeeping nightmare, downtown restaurant owners say, the laws put them at a competitive disadvantage.

Members grill insurance commissioner in hearing": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
New laws designed to coax insurance companies into lowering medical malpractice premiums for Texas doctors have produced middling results so far, and state lawmakers want to know when the promised reductions will kick in and lead to lower health care costs for Texans.
The House Civil Practices Committee on Thursday heard updates on the fallout from a sweeping lawsuit reform bill enacted after a bitter legislative struggle last year.
The efforts to cut down the number of lawsuits -- including a cap on economic damage awards in malpractice cases that was approved by voters last September -- are supposed to improve access to health care by bringing down the high insurance rates that were believed to be driving some Texas doctors out of business.
So far one company, which insures about 40 percent of Texas doctors, has lowered its rates by 12 percent, Insurance Commissioner José Montemayor told the panel. Some hospitals also have seen their costs go down, Montemayor said, but most doctors have seen no reductions.
Only a few companies have been offering malpractice insurance in Texas, but Montemayor said more are entering the Texas market, and competition should eventually bring rates down. Committee Chairman Rep. Joe Nixon, R-Houston, called the early signs encouraging and noted that rates have not been increasing.

Rick Perry and Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn erupted into open warfare Wednesday, raising the specter of another fight over who makes official budgetary calculations. Last year, the two increasingly entrenched rivals deadlocked for several tense days over Strayhorn's authority to certify how much the Legislature can spend -- a power that gives her great sway over tax and spending decisions. Now, with Strayhorn issuing three days of attacks on his school finance plan in a just-started special legislative session, the governor is fighting back and suggesting that the comptroller may not have so much power after all."

On Tuesday, an official with the state Board of Pardons and Paroles said state District Judge Joan Huffman's ruling will allow the panel to weigh Sutton's clemency application, which has gone unconsidered for more than 10 months."

"Supreme Court Appears Split on Guantanamo Prisoners": Reuters reports here that:
The U.S. Supreme Court appeared deeply split on Tuesday on whether foreigners at an American naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba can use U.S. courts to challenge their detentions, the first test of President Bush's policies in his war on terrorism.
Several justices stressed they were examining only whether U.S. courts have jurisdiction, not the merits of the claims by prisoners, who say they are innocent and have been held illegally in violation of their civil rights.

"Refunds from two auto insurers": "About 21-hundred Texas policyholders of two insurance companies will share in nearly $700,000 worth of refunds. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today announced the final settlement. Abbott says the matter involves drivers who paid more on their claims for auto repairs than their policies required." The AP has the rest of the story.
"Lawyer: Guantanamo Is a'Lawless Enclave'": Anne Gearan of the AP reports here that:
The United States has created a "lawless enclave" at a military base in Cuba where more than 600 men from 44 countries are being held without access to American courts, a lawyer for the men told the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Attorney John Gibbons said "it's been plain for 215 years" that people in federal detention may file petitions in U.S. courts.
The prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were mostly picked up in the fighting that toppled the Taliban government in Afghanistan and Pakistan in the months following the Sept. 11 attacks. The government has labeled them "enemy combatants."
Their appeal, the first major challenge arising from the U.S. war on terror to reach the high court, asks a basic legal question: Can foreign-born prisoners picked up overseas and held outside U.S. borders use American courts to try win their freedom?
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist noted that the detainees are not on American soil, and asked how a judge in Washington is to deal with a case from Cuba.
Gibbons said the men should have some way to get their complaints before a judge. The United States holds the only real control over the Guantanamo Base, and U.S. law governs what happens there, Gibbons replied.
"No other law applies there. Cuban law doesn't apply there," he said.

"Speaker's lawyer: Official didn't distribute campaign checks. Explanation about donations comes amid influence inquiry": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that "A lawyer for Speaker Tom Craddick said Monday that his client never personally delivered campaign checks to GOP House candidates on behalf of railroad lobbyists or the Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee. Instead, criminal defense lawyer Roy Minton said, Craddick's campaign workers mailed the checks or sent them by overnight delivery to the Republican campaigns after Union Pacific and the GOP committee sent money to Craddick's Midland office."
"Ex-Corpus Christi lawyer quits TCEQ post": The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports here that "[a] former Corpus Christi lawyer who went on to lead the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality stepped down from her position Monday as executive director of the agency, state officials said. Margaret Hoffman, who practiced commercial litigation in Corpus Christi in the 1980s, gave no reason for her resignation, a commission spokesman said.

"Death penalty case comes back for review": The Beaumont Enterprise reports here that:
A killer is coming to town today.
Elroy Chester, 33, pleaded guilty in 1998 to killing lauded Port Arthur firefighter Willie Ryman III, who was trying to stop Chester from raping his two nieces. A jury took 12 minutes to give him a death sentence.
Criminal District Judge Charles Carver will hear testimony and arguments today on whether Chester is mentally retarded and protected from lethal injection by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that executing the mentally retarded violates a section of the U.S. Constitution prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment.
Chester's is the first of three Jefferson County death penalty cases getting new hearings due to claims of mental retardation.
Chester confessed to a seven-month crime spree in which he allegedly killed four other people, shot five and raped at least three, including a 10-year-old girl.

Rick Perry, criticized for recent trips to the Bahamas and Italy, said Monday that he's shelving a plan to attend D-Day ceremonies in France this summer. Perry said that with a special session under way and the future of his school finance reform package uncertain, it just 'got too complicated.

"Next stop for Perry: France?": The AP reports here that "France may be the next stop for globe-trotting Gov. Rick Perry. The Republican governor traveled to Italy and the Bahamas this year for state business, and now he's now been invited to France to speak at June events commemorating the 1944 Allied invasion of Normandy. Perry spokeswoman Kathy Walt said whether the governor will go to France hasn't been decided."
"Secret group gets jump on special session": The San Antonio Express-News reports here that:
Legislators are not scheduled to convene on taxes and education until Tuesday, but a shifting group of about a dozen House members has huddled secretively for weeks on how to change the way Texas funds and manages schools — or at least how to launch a plan.
"Our spider hole has been discovered," one participant kidded after a reporter peeked in.
Rep. Kent Grusendorf, R-Arlington, who has led the gatherings of Republican leaders and a few Democrats in an office building near the Capitol, called the group "Kent's Kids Brigade."
He said, "A few of us are trying to get a head start" toward reaching common ground bolstering education while cutting school property taxes and dismantling the "Robin Hood" system, which requires property-rich schools to share with others.
Most participants already serve on the 29-member House Select Committee on Public School Finance, which likely will be entrusted with developing the first House draft of a funding plan.
And many also serve on the Joint Select Committee on Public School Finance, scheduled to hear Gov. Rick Perry and others today address Perry's finance proposal.
Grusendorf said he has avoided having more than 14 members in the room to keep the "brigade" from having a quorum of select committee members. If that happened, the meetings would have to be public and posted in advance to comply with open government laws.
Senate Notice of Public Hearing: The Subcommittee on Base Realignment and Closure will hold a public hearing at 1:00 PM today in San Antonio.
Joint Legislative Committee Notice of Public Hearing: The Public School Finance, Select committee will hold a public hearing today at 10:00 AM in the Capitol Extension Auditorium.
Today's Oral Arguments at the United States Supreme Court: The Court will hear arguments in two cases today:
Central Laborers' Pension Fund v. Heinz, No. 02-891:
Schriro v. Summerlin, No. 03-526:
Central Laborers' Pension Fund v. Heinz, No. 02-891:
Question Presented: Whether an amendment to a multiemployer pension plan that expands the types of post-retirement employment that trigger mandatory suspension of early retirement benefits violates ERISA's "anti-cutback" rule, 29 U.S.C. § 1054(g), when the amendment is applied to individuals who retired prior to adoption of the amendment.
Schriro v. Summerlin, No. 03-526:
Questions Presented: 1) Is the rule announced in Ring v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 584, that it is a violation of the 6th Amendment to have a judge, as opposed to a jury, impose a death sentence, substantive or procedural? 2) Does the rule announced in Ring apply retroactively to cases being reviewed according to Teague v. Lane's, 489 U.S. 288 (1989), exception for "watershed rules of criminal procedure that alter bedrock principles and seriously enhance accuracy of proceedings"?
"'Patriot' Games":
Although Congress has no immediate plans to grant early renewal to key parts of the controversial USA Patriot Act, cases reaching the U.S. Supreme Court this month could thrust lawmakers into yet another battle over executive power and the war on terrorism. Two of the cases deal with the president's power to designate American citizens as enemy combatants; the third involves aliens detained at the Guantanamo Bay naval base.Marcia Coyle of the National Law Journal has this report.
"A New York Court Authorizes A Lesbian Couple's Joint Adoption of A Child: Part of a Growing Same-Sex Adoption Trend":
FindLaw columnist and Hofstra law professor Joanna Grossman tracks the growing trend among states to allow same-sex couples to adopt children, while at the same time noting a few states whose laws have evolved to reject such adoptions. Grossman explains the interrelated issues involving unmarried heterosexual couples and same sex couples, and focuses on an important recent New York decision.
"Concert is no case for court": The Beaumont Enterprise reports here that "[t]wo Jefferson County officials did not violate the Texas Open Meetings Act when they both met with others to urge a concert promoter not to cancel an August hip-hop concert, a special prosecutor said Friday. Guy James Gray, former district attorney for Jasper County, reviewed the situation as a special prosecutor and stated in a news conference that he found no evidence of criminal intent."
"Court revives tribal royalty case. Whistle-blowers accuse energy companies of cheating Alabama-Coushatta": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
It has taken six years of legal skirmishing, but two whistle-blowers now have a chance to argue in court that oil and gas companies have cheated an East Texas Indian tribe out of millions of dollars in royalty payments.
The whistle-blowers -- Don Kennard, a former member of the Texas House and Senate, and Harrold Wright, an independent oil and gas investor in Tyler -- sued Comstock Resources Inc. and other companies in 1998 under the federal False Claims Act.
The case was transferred from Texas to Wyoming along with other oil and gas litigation, and a federal judge threw it out in 2002, noting that the tribe itself had sued the companies a day before the whistle-blowers did.
A three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Denver, unanimously overturned the lower court earlier this month, ruling that the timing was irrelevant because Kennard and Wright were the original sources of the fraud allegation.
The appeals court sent the case back to the lower court for additional proceedings.
"Immigrants' voting rights becoming a major issue": The Houston Chronicle reports here that:
It's pretty basic: You have to be a citizen of this country to vote, right? Not necessarily.
A movement is growing in New York City to grant the vote in local elections to legal immigrants. And the debate is growing loud enough to become a major issue in the city's next mayoral election.
The right to vote in a presidential election is not on the wish list: New York proponents say immigrants just want a voice on local issues ranging from sewer improvements to public school construction for everyone who pays local taxes.
A similar movement is percolating on the West Coast. Immigrant groups in San Francisco are researching how they could change state and local law to allow non-citizen parents to vote in local school board elections.
There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that bans non-citizen voting. Those decisions are made by the states, and some allow it.
"Under proposal, tribes might reopen casinos": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that:
As lawmakers weigh the pros and cons of legalizing video gambling at horse and dog racetracks to help fund Texas schools, two American Indian tribes watch to see whether passage of the legislation might put them back in business.
Casinos run by the Tiguas in El Paso and the Alabama-Coushattas in Livingston were shut down in 2002 after a long legal battle. U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, who was Texas attorney general at the time, fought to get the casinos closed, saying that state law prohibited casino gambling. A federal court agreed.
A special legislative session set to begin Tuesday will address new funding methods for public schools. One of the proposals calls for allowing video gambling at racetracks, with the state collecting taxes on the receipts. Republican Gov. Rick Perry wants to abolish the share-the-wealth, or Robin Hood, school funding system because it relies heavily on property taxes.
If the video gaming measure passes, it would probably reopen the doors of the tribal casinos.
Public School Finance and the Special Session: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that "Officials: Finance should be focus." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram also reports here that "Carroll group prepares strategy in advance of legislative session." The Houston Chronicle reports here that "Anti-tax pledges get tougher. School funding session will test GOP legislators' stand."

"Panel says ex-justice of peace can't hold office": The AP reports here that "Thurman Bartie, a former Jefferson County justice of the peace accused of threatening inmates, will not be allowed to hold any judicial office, a panel of judges decided Friday. The judges acted on a recommendation from the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. The commission made the recommendation Dec. 4, also recommending that Bartie be removed from office. Bartie resigned Dec. 19. The panel agreed Friday with the removal."
"Democrats unite to defend House seats": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that:
Five Texas Democrats targeted for employment extinction by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land, are banding together in a high-stakes mission to keep their jobs.
The five -- U.S. Reps. Martin Frost of Arlington, Charles Stenholm of Abilene, Chet Edwards of Waco, Max Sandlin of Marshall and Nick Lampson of Beaumont -- are embarking on a series of joint fund-raisers beginning Monday in New York.
The Democratic Party has made saving the targeted Texans a top priority nationwide and is helping in every way it can. Party leaders even successfully pushed millions for pet projects to the five Texans in the transportation bill being hammered out in Congress.
To keep themselves competitive in districts redrawn by Republicans to favor GOP candidates, the targeted Democrats are focusing heavily on raising money for their campaigns. According to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission, as of March 31, Frost has $1.18 million cash on hand; Edwards has more than $800,000; Stenholm has nearly $600,000; Sandlin has about $375,000 ; and Lampson has $490,000.
"New Braunfels leaders try to ban beer bongs on rivers": "Beer drinkers along a couple of Central Texas rivers want to use funnels to down their brew more quickly, but municipal leaders say they've reached their limit.

"Perry tackles big challenge. School finance session offers opportunities, risks": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
Recent history, written by Gov. Rick Perry's two predecessors, informs us that governors who get ousted and governors who go on to be president have had the same success in dealing with school finance: little to none.
It is against that track record that Perry goes to work this week on the topic that could determine his place in state history.
If lawmakers convening in special session Tuesday reach consensus on any plan, especially if it is Perry's, the governor could take a giant step toward winning a 2006 re-election contest. Assuming that he wins and completes the four-year term, Perry would become the longest serving governor in Texas history.
But if Perry's plan is rejected by lawmakers -- as Gov. Ann Richards' was by voters and Gov. George W. Bush's was by legislators -- Perry's political future could get substantially cloudier.

"Dallas County jail system fails state inspection": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that "[a]fter two decades of passing grades, Dallas County's jail system has flunked its state inspection. Officials with the Texas Commission on Jail Standards found eight problem areas, including a shortage of jail staff, overcrowding in the intake processing area and a failure to follow a jail classification plan."
"Legal or not, be picky if picking bluebonnets": "One of Texas' oldest legends has been shot down, and I'm not talking about the box-office power of an Alamo movie. All my life, I've thought it illegal to pick Texas bluebonnets. Turns out it's OK to pick a few on the roadside. But only a few. That is, unless you're in a state park. In a park, yanking one blue bloom of Texas' state flower is worth a ticket and a fine of up to $500." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has the rest of the story.
"Fired battalion chief awarded $395,000": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that "Kim Lubke, an Arlington Fire Department battalion chief who was fired after he stayed home to take care of his sick wife during the Y2K weekend, says he feels vindicated by a jury's verdict that awarded him $395,000. After a trial that lasted more than a week, jurors deliberated for six hours Thursday before deciding that the city violated the federal Family and Medical Leave Act by firing Lubke in April 2000. The verdict could expose the city to payments of more than $1 million. U.S. District Judge Terry Means of Fort Worth still has to decide how much the city should pay Lubke in attorneys fees, court costs and compensation for future loss of earnings. Means will also have to determine whether Lubke is entitled to additional damages."

Comptroller uses dismissal letter to zing governor": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that "[i]n her own colorful way, in her own semi-legible handwriting, Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn has told her former campaign treasurer -- and the public -- what she thinks of Gov. Rick Perry." Here is a PDF of Strayhorn's letter.

"Texas’ Cornyn Leads Assault Against Same-Sex Marriage": Steven Morris of the Texas Triangle has this report.
Interstate Contracting Corp. v. City of Dallas, ___ S.W.3d ___ (Tex. 2004):
1. Does Texas recognize pass-through claims, i.e., may a contractor assert a claim against an owner on a subcontractor’s behalf when there is no privity of contract between the subcontractor and the owner?The Court stated:
If the first question is answered in the negative, then the remaining question need not be reached. However, if the first question is answered in the affirmative, the following question must be reached:
2. What are the requirements, if any, that need to be satisfied for a contractor to assert a claim on behalf of its subcontractor when there is no privity of contract between the subcontractor and the owner, and who holds the appropriate burden of proof?
These are difficult issues of first impression for this Court. Privity of contract, as a necessary predicate to suit on a contract, has a long and settled history in this State. The parties here contest the extent to which the privity requirement may be maintained in a jurisdiction that recognizes passthrough claims. We believe that contractual privity and pass-through claims are compatible. We also conclude that, although the arguments against pass-through claims are certainly not without merit, they are not sufficiently compelling to dissuade us from joining the majority of state and federal jurisdictions that have considered the issue.
We hold that Texas recognizes pass-through claims. Consequently, if the contractor is liable to the subcontractor for damages sustained by the subcontractor, pursuant to a pass-through agreement the contractor can bring an action against the owner for the subcontractor’s damages. If the owner contests the contractor’s pass-through suit on grounds that the contractor is not liable to the subcontractor for the claimed damages, the owner bears the burden of proof.
Texas Supreme Court: The Texas Supreme Court has released this week's orders. The Court published one opinion, Interstate Contracting Corp. v. City of Dallas, ___ S.W.3d ___ (Tex. 2004), in which it answered the questions certified by the Fifth Circuit. The Court did not grant any petitions for review.

"Work nearly grinds to halt as immigrant-raid rumors circulate": The Houston Chronicle reports here that "[m]ost days, teams of Latino immigrant workers swarm over the townhouses under construction near Gulfgate, filling the air with the buzz of power tools and orders shouted in Spanish. But the site was nearly silent Thursday. Instead of dozens of workers, there was just a handful, mostly Anglo contractors. Like dozens of work sites across greater Houston, construction at the Gulfgate site was nearly brought to a standstill because the immigrant workers had fled, likely after hearing rumors of government immigration raids."
"Retired judge gets recount lawsuit": The Laredo Morning-Times reports here that "[a] retired state judge was chosen Thursday to preside over U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez's lawsuit alleging vote fraud in two South Texas counties after a recount showed he lost the Democratic primary election to Henry Cuellar. Joseph H. Hart, a senior litigator in the high-powered Austin firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, was assigned the case by state Judge David Peeples of San Antonio, presiding judge in the Fourth Judicial Administrative Region. 'I picked the person that I thought was the best person for the job,' Peeples said. Hart served for 17 years as the judge in the 126th District Court in Travis County, according to his biography on the Akin Gump Web site. He was appointed in 1982 by then-Gov. William Clements. Hart's practice centers on arbitration, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, the Web site states. As a judge, he helped create an alternative dispute resolution system for the Travis County court system."
"U.S. boosts fees for immigrants": The El Paso Times reports here that "[t]he Bush administration announced Thursday that it is raising fees for immigrants who apply for U.S. citizenship, legal residency and other immigration benefits, starting April 30. Immigrants will be required to pay $320 to apply for citizenship -- a $60 increase. Residency, or green card, application fees will rise to $315. Work permits will cost $175. The increase is the fifth since 1989, when immigrants paid $60 to apply for a green card or citizenship."
"100 sex predators arrested, AG says": "More than 100 child sex predators, including three from El Paso, have been arrested since the Fugitive and Cyber Crimes units were created less than a year ago, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said Thursday during a visit to El Paso." The El Paso Times has the rest of the story.
"State begins investigation of El Paso APS office": The El Paso Times reports here that "[t]op state Health and Human Services Commission officials were in El Paso Thursday to begin executing Gov. Perry's order to investigate and reform Adult Protective Services in El Paso and throughout the state."
Be careful of what you ask for: The Austin American-Statesman reports Lawyers here that "[a] judge was unsympathetic Thursday to defense lawyers for executives from Merrill Lynch & Co. and Enron Corp. who sought to delay their trial on charges of pushing through a sham sale of Nigerian barges. U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein decided instead to move the trial up a week, changing the date for three former Merrill executives and two from Enron to June 7 instead of June 14."
"Judges: No relief for dogs at U.S. courthouse. Federal order warns against letting pets do their business on the grass": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
The two federal judges aren't talking about it, but their order has been signed, sealed and delivered, apparently to at least one of the culprits.
An order, that is, warning downtown Austin pet owners: Don't mess with the federal courthouse lawn.
The order the judges signed Wednesday was delivered Thursday to managers of the Brown Building condomini- ums, 701 Colorado St. It promises a "citation, fine and/or arrest" for anyone allowing "their pets to relieve themselves on the grass and grounds of the United States Courthouse" across the street.
"Strayhorn replaces campaign treasurer": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here: "In another sign of tension within the Republican ranks, Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn replaced a veteran campaign adviser who expressed concern about her attacks on Gov. Rick Perry, officials confirmed Thursday. George Strake, a respected Republican elder statesman and former Texas secretary of state, had served as Strayhorn's campaign treasurer since the late 1980s, officials said. But as Strayhorn intensified her attacks on Perry's record on health and education issues in recent weeks, Strake said he grew increasingly uneasy and told the comptroller about his misgivings."
"Brewer pushes for death date": The Beaumont Enterprise reports here that "[o]ne of the men convicted in the dragging death of James Byrd Jr. wants his execution date set. Lawrence Russell Brewer has written to District 1-A Judge Monte D. Lawlis, making the request. Lawlis was the trial judge in Brewer's case, which was heard in Bryan."

"PUC delays decision on phone rates": The AP reports here that "[t]he state Public Utility Commission said Thursday it needs more time to set the wholesale rates that SBC Communications can charge its competitors for access to its local telephone service networks. Competing telephone companies lease network space from SBC at a rate set by the commission when local phone networks were opened to competition in 1996. SBC has argued that the rate should be increased, while competing companies have said it should be lowered. The commissioners decided to postpone their decision as federal court rulings continued to cast doubt on states' authority to set the rates. A federal appeals court announced Wednesday it would delay by 45 days an order throwing out the Federal Communication Commission's decision to empower the states to set the rates. The FCC and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals have both encouraged former Bell companies, including SBC, to negotiate private commercial agreements with competitors. SBC has already made such an agreement with Sage Telecom. An AT&T spokesman said Texas wholesale rates are 50 percent higher than those in Michigan and California and should be lowered. SBC has argued that rates should be raised to enable the company to maintain the telecommunications infrastructure."

"The Danger of the Drafters' Intent: Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Need to Limit Congressional Power":
FindLaw guest columnist and second-year Boalt Hall law student Will Trachman discusses an important case the Supreme Court will decide this Term, Tennessee v. Lane. The case addresses the breadth Congress's power to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees. Trachman argues that although the Amendment's drafters may have meant to grant Congress a broad enforcement power, judicial limits on that power, such as those the Court has imposed in the past, still may be necessary.

"Beer permit fight back in court": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that "[a] Fort Worth attorney representing a southwest Arlington Hooters restaurant said Wednesday that a county judge's denial of the business' beer application was not based on substantial evidence. The restaurant's application to sell beer has been in limbo since it opened in 2001. It has been serving free beer since March 17, after its second beer permit application was denied by county Judge Vincent Sprinkle. A hearing seeking reversal of Sprinkle's denial of the business' permit is scheduled in the 96th District Court before Judge Jeff Walker at 9:45 a.m. today."
"City ordinance would ban drinking devices on Central Texas rivers": The AP reports The Bryan-College Station Eagle >here that "[w]hen beer drinkers along a couple of Central Texas rivers want to use funnels to down their brew more quickly, municipal leaders say they've reached their limit.

"Wohlgemuth wins GOP spot on House ballot": The Waco Tribune-Herald reports here: "[a]fter a hard-fought primary and runoff election, Republican congressional candidate Arlene Wohlgemuth won her party's nomination Tuesday and a shot at unseating U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Waco. Wohlgemuth, a state representative from Burleson, won 54 percent of the total runoff vote while opponent Dot Snyder, of Waco, gained 46 percent. The two had been campaigning feverishly across newly formed, 180-mile-long District 17, only approved last October. On Tuesday night, Wohlgemuth turned her focus on Edwards, a Democrat who has won seven straight elections in a Republican-leaning district. She said the congressman's record does not accurately reflect the values of most voters in District 17."
"Review of APS cases by state under way": The El Paso Times reports here that "[a] team of state investigators began sifting through a mountain of Adult Protective Services cases Wednesday in El Paso after the governor ordered a review of the agency.

After a grueling and expensive Republican runoff that likely decided who will represent the newly drawn 10th Congressional District, both candidates plan to keep campaigning.
Winner Michael McCaul, who faces no Democratic opposition on the November general election ballot, said he will return to the campaign trail this fall to help other Republicans win congressional seats in Texas.

"Jury rules in abortion lawsuit. Doctor found negligent, but plaintiffs awarded no money": The Houston Chronicle reports here that "[a] jury Wednesday awarded no money to a woman and her father who sued an osteopath for performing an abortion while she was a minor without notifying the parent. Ninety percent of the blame was assigned to the woman for using a fake identification indicating she was not a minor, the panel decided. But the jury also found the doctor negligent, allowing both sides to claim victory in the first-of-its-kind lawsuit that could help determine how extensively physicians should verify the identification of women seeking abortions."

'Women need to put their tops on,' said Brazoria County District Attorney Jeri Yenne.

"Walls loses race after disclosure of photos": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that "[i]n a bizarre election marked by his opponent's past fondness for women's clothes, Burleson's Rob Orr convincingly captured the Republican nomination Tuesday for District 58 representative in the Legislature. Orr, who repeatedly denied leaking photographs that showed opponent Sam Walls dressed as a woman and that surfaced less than two weeks ago, won the runoff with 60 percent of the vote to Walls' 40 percent. Walls, the apparent front-runner after finishing first in the March 9 primary, said he is certain the cross-dressing revelations influenced the outcome of the election."
"Retardation claim delays execution": The AP reports here that "[a] former roofer convicted of killing a Lubbock woman won a reprieve Tuesday, just hours before his scheduled execution, after a federal court ruled to delay it on claims he is mentally retarded. Michael Rosales, 30, had faced lethal injection for the fatal stabbing and beating of 67-year-old Mary Felder at her Lubbock apartment during a burglary almost seven years ago. But the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled to delay his execution based on claims by his lawyers that Rosales is mentally retarded.

Sparks ruled that the Legislature overstepped federal law when it imposed the tougher rules for low-income Texans. The Texas Workforce Commission approved the rules unanimously in October, seeking to change the behavior of adults who receive both Medicaid and federal cash assistance, known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families."
"GOP committee agrees to pay fine in campaign investigation. Critic says federal inquiry is similar to allegations in Texas elections": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that "[t]he National Republican Congressional Committee has agreed to pay a $280,000 fine for improperly using corporate money to pay for radio spots criticizing Democrats in the 2000 congressional elections. According to the Federal Election Commission, the Republican committee transferred $500,000, its largest donation to an outside group, to two organizations headed by political allies of U.S. House Majority Tom DeLay. One of those was Jim Ellis, a central figure in a Texas grand jury investigation of similar allegations about the misuse of corporate money in the 2002 state legislative elections. Although the federal investigation is unrelated to the Travis County grand jury investigation of another DeLay-Ellis organization, Texans for a Republican Majority, it offers a glimpse into DeLay's political network."

Neither managed to win even 30 percent of the vote in their races."
"McCaul wins big in expensive 10th District race": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that "[t]he Texas GOP's endorsements paid bigger dividends for Michael McCaul than the huge checks written by fellow Republican opponent Ben Streusand that helped make the 10th District runoff one of the most expensive congressional races in the nation. McCaul had former President George Bush headline a fund-raiser, won the backing of Sens. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison and Gov. Rick Perry and parlayed the party leadership support into a convincing victory Tuesday night over Streusand, who spent about $3 million of his own money and lost."

Hughes, now 21, and her father, Fredrick Mosley, are suing Aaron Family Planning Clinic of southwest Houston and Dr. Douglas A.

Future uncertain after money diverted to other programs": The Houston Chronicle reports here that "[t]he state budget took another hit Monday with a warning that the fund from which crime victims are compensated for medical bills and other losses is in jeopardy because the Legislature tapped into it for other needs last year. The Crime Victims Compensation Fund could be insolvent within three years because legislators transferred $114 million from it to other programs, Attorney General Greg Abbott said. The transfer was part of a delicate budget-balancing act necessary to comply with orders from Gov. Rick Perry and legislative leaders to bridge a $10 billion revenue shortfall without raising state taxes." Yesterday's post on the OAG's press release is available here.

District Attorney Bill Hill has ended a special prosecutor's corruption investigation of Dallas County Sheriff Jim Bowles.
Hill initially requested the probe, which he said in a statement Monday has "exhausted much greater time and resources than anticipated."
The decision effectively cancels the assignment of special prosecutor Chris Milner, whose work over five months led to indictments against five officials, including Bowles. All of those indictments were later dismissed by a supervising prosecutor or quashed by a state district judge.
Hill said in the statement that the FBI has assured him that it is conducting its own investigation into Bowles' relationship with a vendor who holds the county jail's commissary contract.

Inc. after the business' owners pleaded guilty to charges related to workers' compensation fraud. Travis County District Court Judge Julie Kocurek ordered the company to pay the restitution, plus a $100 fine to the state, according to Travis County Assistant Attorney Elizabeth Andrus, who prosecuted the case.

"Unpublished Opinions: Inedible Sausage or Crazy Uncle?": Tony Mauro of the Legal Tims reports here that:
Federal judges are usually a reticent bunch outside the four corners of their courtrooms and their rulings.
But at a Tuesday hearing in Washington, D.C., testimony will reveal a judiciary that is passionately and publicly up in arms over an obscure proposal that critics say would drastically change how judges do their jobs and increase litigation costs for clients.
The proposed rule, known as Rule 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, would forbid all appeals courts from placing restrictions on the citation of so-called unpublished opinions.
Unpublished opinions -- labeled as such because they are not included in the official volumes of published rulings -- are the usually brief and unpolished decisions that federal appeals courts use to dispose of 80 percent or more of all cases.

After three days of jury selection, seven women and five men were chosen Wednesday. Two alternate jurors are expected to be chosen this morning before opening arguments begin at 1:30 p.m. The lawsuit stems from a crash that occurred when a Discovery Tours of Texas bus taking a youth group from Metro Church in Garland to a Louisiana church camp slammed into a concrete bridge support on Interstate 20. Four youths and bus driver Ernest Carter were killed, and about three dozen were injured. Investigators later blamed the accident on Carter, who they said had cocaine in his body and was fatigued at the time of the crash."
"Friends, supporters back Walls": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that:
In the heart of the Texas Bible belt, where a woman is being prosecuted for selling sex toys, a man with a cross-dressing past might seem like more fodder for a sermon full of fire and brimstone.
But folks in Johnson County -- staunch conservatives at that -- don't seem to be rushing to criticize Sam Walls, who has acknowledged dressing up like a woman but has declined to say much else about it.
Days before he faces voters in a hotly contested Republican runoff for a state House seat, Walls continued to shoo away the media, but his friends and supporters rushed to his defense, highlighting a lifetime of philanthropy and brushing off the controversy as irrelevant.
"Denton County Jail fails state test": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that "[t]he Denton County Jail was not recertified by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards last month because of overcrowding that forced some inmates in the 900-bed facility to sleep on the floor, Sheriff Weldon Lucas said Wednesday.

"Man picks jail over sex offender list": The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports here that:
For more than a decade, even as prison-cell doors clanged around him, John Michael Harvey's story has never changed: He did not molest a 3-year-old girl.
When a judge concluded last month that the Bedford man had been wrongfully convicted of the crime, it looked like Harvey could finally go free, at least on bail.
But Harvey, 38, is so adamant about his innocence that he is refusing early release because he would be forced to register, even temporarily, as a sex offender.
"I came into jail innocent and that is the way I want to leave," Harvey said in a recent interview at the Tarrant County Jail. "I don't want to leave a convicted child molester. ... My name was clean when I came in, and I want it clean when I leave."

Attorney General's Opinion: Today, the OAG released its opinion in GA-0175 regarding the "[c]onsequences for a municipality if five of its seven council members are removed at a recall election." The OAG's summary provides:
Members of a city council who have been removed from office in a recall election do not hold over until their successors are duly qualified. Only two seats on the Haltom City municipal council are currently occupied. Because the municipal charter of Haltom City defines a quorum as requiring the presence of at least five members of its council, the municipal council of Haltom City cannot convene a quorum until at least three of its five vacancies are filled by special election in May 2004.

The Nortel Networks Audit Committee also has undertaken an independent review of the matter. Nortel, which employs several thousand people in the Richardson telecom corridor north of Dallas, in March placed its chief financial officer and controller on paid leaves of absence until the audit committee completes its review of the company's finances. The fallout from the restatements also have resulted in a number of class action lawsuits being filed against the company."

Reinventing a Classic.
Elegantly simple, endlessly versatile and perennially chic, our designer bucket bag is the true embodiment of the Mansur Gavriel brand. Bucket bags are a classic accessory, but we elevated them to icon status by honoring their functionality and signature structure, then adding subtle accents for a modern twist. Our signature leather bucket bag is where it all began for our brand. Designed with high quality and style in mind, our women’s bucket bags are wonderfully versatile, with choices such as black leather with red interior, red checker circle bucket bag, and pleated bucket in degas blue.
A Timeless Treasure.
Luxury bucket bags are a stylish classic for every season, and we designed our collection to take advantage of that adaptability. These designer bucket bags look beautiful, whether it’s a day in the office or a night on the town. Their beauty is enhanced with well-crafted construction that adds durability, making this a bag that truly goes with anything, anywhere. A Mansur Gavriel luxury bucket bag is iconic, timeless and stylish enough to elevate any outfit.

Stamford Lawyer Recognized in the Personal Injury Hall of Fame
Stewart M. Casper, of Casper & de Toledo LLC, has been named to the Connecticut Law Tribune’s “Personal Injury Hall of Fame,” the leading legal publication in the Connecticut. The Connecticut Law Tribune awarded Attorney Casper this honor as a result of two very large verdicts he obtained in 2014. In one case, he represented a 10 year old boy who suffered a traumatic brain injury and other serious injuries in a motor vehicle crash. In the other case, he represented a woman who was injured as a result of a large dog colliding into her in a dog park.
In the case of the young boy, Casper took over responsibility for a Bridgeport case just six weeks prior to trial commencing in late March 2014. He prepared the case, completing numerous tasks that were previously incomplete, including marshaling of the medical and scientific evidence. He then tried the case as lead counsel. The jury verdict was nearly $8 million plus punitive damages that are rarely awarded in Connecticut. The matter was later settled for a confidential amount.
In the other matter, a woman had severe leg injuries after the dog ran into her, and she was awarded $2.6 million by a Stamford jury in July.
