- Developer: Platinum Games
- ESRB Rating: "M" for Mature
- Genre: Fighting
- Pros: Fun gameplay; tons of content; great multiplayer; nice presentation; bots!; $30 MSRP
- Cons: Story campaign isn't fun; 16 player matches too hectic
The story in Anarchy Reigns features Jack Cayman, who starred of the Wii-exclusive Madworld, but knowledge of Madworld isn't required to make sense out of Anarchy Reigns. Put simply, it doesn't make sense either way. Jack is hunting down a fugitive and meets a lot of crazy characters along the way which make up Anarchy Reigns' playable cast. All you need to know is that all of the characters have crazy abilities like chainsaws built into their bodies, armored suits, elemental attacks, rocket powered hammers, and other awesome stuff. This is a game that relishes in how over the top and crazy it can be.
It has to be said, though, that Anarchy Reigns is much more fun in multiplayer than it is in the single-player campaign. The single-player is more like a beat-em-up where you explore hub areas and fight through wave after wave of brainless foot soldiers in between the occasional boss fight. The SP is a bit of a grind because it becomes too repetitive pretty quickly, the hubs aren't that interesting, and as cool as some of the bosses might be, the experience as a whole just isn't that fun.
Another great feature is an offline training mode against bots that features all of these modes. Real people are definitely more fun to play against, but bots are fun too. Unfotunately, there is no local multiplayer, only Xbox Live play.
One other slight drawback is that you have to unlock most of the characters. You do this through either playing the story campaign, or by ranking up in multiplayer matches (not in offline training matches, though). You can unlock everyone pretty quickly online, however, so it isn't too bad if you dislike the campaign (like us).
When you figure everything out, Anarchy Reigns is one of the most fun and satisfying brawlers of recent memory. Everything is, well, crazy, and the unique character designs, huge range of fighting styles, flashy and interesting attacks, neat environments, and overall unpredictability and randomness of it all is an absolute blast. The 16-player fights can get a little overwhelming and frustrating, since there isn't really any sort of attack priority going on during combos and you can (and will) have enemies interrupting your combos by hitting you in the back while you're focusing on trying to attack someone else. You can easily get surrounded and pounded into submission, which isn't very fun, but you do learn how to assess the situations better, position yourself better, and defend better the more you play, so those situations don't happen all that often once you learn the game a little better. Thanks to the wealth of different modes that all play fairly differently and offer their own fun and satisfaction, along with the large cast of interesting characters, there is a lot to do here.
The presentation in Anarchy Reigns won't exactly wow you, but it all works well in the context of the game. The environments are sort of bland, but the game maintains a steady framerate even with a ton of characters onscreen, so we'll take that trade off any day. The characters, on the other hand, are nicely detailed, are all unique and easily identifiable, and have fantastic animation that makes every punch, kick, and chainsaw through the neck look great. We also really dig the sound with a fantastic soundtrack and solid (but intentionally (we hope) corny voice acting) that, again, fits the tone and context of this wild and crazy game.
Bottom Line
All in all, Anarchy Reigns is a solid brawler that we highly recommend. The solo campaign isn't particularly good, but everything else about this package is pretty much amazing. With great multiplayer, a training mode against bots, tons of game types and modes, and lots of characters to play with, you are getting a lot of game here all for just $30. We also really like how it offers the same sort of multiplayer options that popular shooters do, just in an entirely different genre, which makes it easy to jump in to and might just knock CoD or Halo down a peg. Or not. But those that do give it a chance, and put the effort to learn to play well, will have a great time with Anarchy Reigns.

Whiskers is a very unusual looking, sweet and quiet 13- year-young neutered male cat. He is a black tabby mackerel, also known as a "black smoke" which is super rare! Whiskers has been through a lot of changes lately. After his owner went into a nursing home, he was placed in a new home. However, he didn't get along with the other animals there, so now this gentle boy is looking for his forever home once and for all! Whiskers is a little bit shy here at the shelter, but after a few minutes of petting, he'll close his eyes and relax. He would love a quiet home where he can relax and be loved. So if you're looking for gentle, quiet companionship, Whiskers would make the perfect cat!
For more information on Whiskers or any of the other animals currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please contact us at 617-226-5602. The Animal Rescue League ofBoston is open Tuesday through Thursday 1- 7 p.m. and Friday through Sunday 1-4 p.m., excluding some holidays.

Dojo: the JavaScript Toolkit with Industrial-Strength Mojo
This remainder of this article works through the bulk of the toolkit's most fundamental JavaScript programming constructs that will benefit you regardless of the size or scope of your project.
The Firebug add-on for Mozilla Firefox is a terrific tool that can benefit your Web development efforts in ways you can't even imagine. Of particular interest is its console, which allows you to execute arbitrary JavaScript code—a great advantage when learning a new technology, as you'll commonly want to test out new ideas in an interactive fashion.
Although you could download Dojo from its official Web presence and set up a local installation, the easiest way to get started with Dojo is to use the latest version of Dojo that is hosted on AOL's Content Delivery Network (CDN). The following page skeleton demonstrates that the minimal effort required to put Dojo to work from the CDN is a SCRIPT tag that loads Dojo into the HEAD of the page; it is especially noteworthy that the SCRIPT tag incurs the cost of one request to the Web server that delivers a gzipped payload of approximately 29kB and provides the latest 1.1.x release that is available. In Dojo parlance, the good that the SCRIPT tag provides is called Base, because it provides the base for the toolkit, and because everything you'll use is contained in the base-level dojo.* namespace. Speaking of which, with the exception of the dojo identifier itself, the global page-level namespace is otherwise preserved:
To summarize, the dojo.addOnLoad block fires once the asynchronous loading of the dojo.xd.js file and any dependencies specified via dojo.require statements (more on these in a bit) have completed, and this is necessary in order to prevent any race conditions that might occur without it. Basically, the dojo.xd.js file providing Base accomplishes feats such as normalizing DOM events and provides you with a number of useful utilities for accelerating application development.

Updated Oct. 6, 2010 @ 12:35 p.m. ET
The Patriots have traded WR Randy Moss to the Vikings, both teams have confirmed.
Moss, who had a terrific run in New England, joins a Vikings team in need of receiver help and one desperate to win a Super Bowl in what could be Brett Favre's final season.
The trade remains stunning a day after reports first surfaced that the teams were in discussion for the future Hall of Fame receiver.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick issued a statement Wednesday afternoon on the Moss trade:
"Over the course of the past several months, I have spoken with Randy and his representative about Randy's place on our team and his future in football. Consistent with my dealings with Randy from the day we acquired him through our conversation this morning, it has been honest, thoughtful and with great mutual respect.
"While I will keep private the details of internal conversations with players and staff, suffice it to say that many things were taken into consideration before making the trade.
"In this business, there are complex and often difficult decisions, but it is my responsibility to make them based on what I feel is best for our football team, in both the short term and long term. I am grateful for the opportunity to have coached Randy Moss and aside from facing him as an opponent, I wish him the very best for the remainder of his Hall of Fame career."
Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com reported Wednesday that Moss had argued with Patriots coaches during Monday night's game in Miami and that incident led the Patriots to accelerate efforts to trade Moss.
Vikings head coach Brad Childress, whose team tried but failed to land disgruntled Chargers WR Vincent Jackson recently, also commented on the Moss deal.
"We feel very good about the opportunity to add a player of Randy Moss' caliber to this football team," Childress said. "He is a tremendous competitor and was an integral member of the Vikings organization from 1998-2004. Once again, ownership was completely supportive of our efforts to add a valuable football player to our team. I know the entire organization is thrilled to welcome him back to the Twin Cities and look forward to his contributions."
Childress will address the media on Wednesday following practice. There is no scheduled media access at Winter Park today because the Vikings play on Monday night at the Jets.
It is believed, but not known, that Moss will play in the Monday-night game. The Vikings were said to want to expedite the trade as quckly as possible in order to get Moss up to speed on the team's offense.
Moss also will have another interesting game on his schedule when the Vikings face the Patriots in New England on Halloween.
In 52 career games with the Patriots, Moss caught 50 TDs and the team compiled a 40-12 record, including 15 games with Tom Brady injured in 2008 and Matt Cassel starting. But many people in New England would add one asterisk to Moss' legacy there, that he never won a Super Bowl, losing to the Giants in XLII.
Moss spent his first seven seasons with the Vikings and was traded following the '04 season to the Raiders. In 109 games (104 starts) with the Vikings, Moss caught 574 passes for 9,142 yards (15.9 avg.) and 90 touchdowns.
He currently ranks second in NFL history with 151 career TD receptions, fifth with 14,604 career receiving yards and 10th with 935 career receptions. Over his 190 career games, Moss has averaged 76.9 yards per game. In 2007 with the Patriots, Moss set an NFL record with 23 touchdowns in that Super Bowl season.
Neither team disclosed what the compensation was for Moss going to Minnesota, but mutliple reports have said it will be for a third-round pick. If so, the Patriots would own two first-, two second-, two third- and two fourth-round picks. They acquired the extra first in the Richard Seymour trade, a pick that could land in the top 10, and the second-rounder came from Carolina in the Armanti Edwards deal on Draft Day this year. The fourth-round pick came via the Laurence Maroney trade ealier this month to Denver.
The way we see it
Moss publicly vented his frustration about the Patriots as he awaited a new deal. It's no secret that QB Brett Favre would love to play with Moss (he tried to bring Moss to the Packers during the offseason Moss was traded to New England), and he's in desperate need of a receiver with the team's No. 1 wideout, Sidney Rice, sidelined following hip surgery and not set to come back for at least two weeks at the earliest.
The Patriots have no shortage of weapons for Tom Brady, although they are trading away one of the greatest receivers of all time. By the way, the Vikings travel to New England for a game on Halloween.
With Favre likely playing his final season, the window of opportunity for the Vikings is closing fast, and Favre, who turns 41 Sunday, needs receiving help. And now he has it.
The question becomes how much does the 33-year-old receiver have left in his tank?
Another key question: Will the Vikings be willing to give Moss the high-end, multiyear contract he's seeking?

Hi guys - first pics here, so please don't be too cruel. I'm 30 years old, returning to lifting after several months off, and looking for advice. 160lbs, 5'11". And a long way off this (great work, BTW)
My feeling is that most of my work needs to go into chest and shoulders.
My proposed routine is this:
Day 1:
Back: Chin-ups
Chest: Bench press
Legs: Rest
Arms & Shoulders: Shoulder press & curls
Abs: Weighted situps
Day 3:
Back: Rest
Chest: Rest
Legs: Squat
Arms & Shoulders: Shoulder press, clean & press
Abs: Rest
Day 5:
Back: Chin-ups
Chest: Bench press
Legs: Deadlift
Arms & Shoulders: Overhead press, Tricep pushdown
Abs: Weighted situps
I'm wondering whether Day 3 is too light, although I'm normally pretty shattered after squatting, so I don't want to add any other "big" exercises that day. Grateful for any thoughts or advice.
you have a good base to work on
work your lower body just as you do your upper.

Hot in terms of both speed and... well new hotness- Stash
gain 50lbs-Anthony
your program looks good except I would recommend fitting in exercises like shrugs, bb rows, sldl, and calf raises into your program. You could throw out tricep pushdown and replace with close grip bench, also. By the way you have a great base to build on and your body looks proportional. I would recommend if you are going to hit bodyparts 2 times a week do it for all bodyparts. Just my opinions, take it for what its worth. You could clean bulk and look really great in a couple of months.

How does this look as a modified routine?
Back: Chin-ups

Legs: Rest
Arms: Curls
Shoulder: Shoulder press, DB Shrugs
Abs: Weighted sit-up
Back: Straight-leg Deadlift
Chest: Rest
Legs: Squat
Arms: Rest
Shoulder: Shoulder press, Barbell row
Abs: Rest
Back: Chin-ups
Chest: Bench press
Legs: Deadlift
Arms: Curls
Shoulder: Overhead press
Abs: Weighted sit-up
Well, April's been a disappointing month. I was up to 170lbs at my heaviest, but I went on vacation and lost 10lbs (I know that's not how it's supposed to happen, but I managed to eat something that seriously didn't agree with me. The dysentary diet works wonders for crash weight loss).
Still, I managed to get to the gym on schedule, and my weights are progressively going up, so that's a good thing. And I've got a nice tan.
First off, Straight leg DLs work your posterior chain not your back (lower back a little I guess) and Barbell rows are a back exercise that use your rear delts as stabilizers. I also noticed that for arms you list "curls" are you doing any direct tricep work? Personally, I would try the WBB1 routine if you haven't already. It's pretty tried and tested and I know I see good results from it.Originally Posted by TheLittleGuy

At the Forge - jQuery
Most of my Web development work in the past few years has been in the Ruby language in general and the Ruby on Rails framework in particular. Rails comes with a high-quality JavaScript library called Prototype, and I have written several columns describing how to use Prototype, as well as the Scriptaculous effects library that builds upon its language improvements.
Prototype isn't going away. But, over the past few months, I've noticed a growing interest—from within the Rails community and from other developer communities as well—in jQuery, another high-quality, open-source JavaScript toolkit. Most significant, jQuery was chosen by Microsoft as the official JavaScript library for its developers. jQuery also has a large number of ready-made plugins, including many that provide user-interface functionality. And, as I've started to explore jQuery, I'm beginning to think that its fans have a point, and I've even started to consider switching some of my work away from Prototype to jQuery.
What makes jQuery so special and different? What does it offer? And, how can you integrate it into your applications? This month, I try to answer all of these questions, as we explore some of the basic features of jQuery. Next month, we'll look at some of the UI widgets that jQuery provides to spruce up our sites and make them more functional.
jQuery was first released in 2006, based on preliminary work that John Resig had done since August 2005, as a simple JavaScript library that would make it more convenient to develop Web applications. Over time, it has grown to include many contributors. Resig himself has written two books on JavaScript and now works for the Mozilla corporation as a JavaScript evangelist.
If you have used Prototype previously, you won't be surprised to know that $() is not only a legitimate function name in JavaScript, but it's also used extensively within jQuery. However, $() works differently in jQuery than in Prototype. In Prototype, you can say:
$('foo') // Prototype
to get the elements with id attributes of foo and bar. The number of parameters to Prototype's $() determines whether it returns a single value or an array, as well as how many elements that returned array contains.
Prototype also lets you retrieve items using CSS selectors (and a variety of pseudo-selectors), using the $$() function. For example:
$$('tr.even') // Prototype
returns an array (and always an array, even if it matches only a single object) of all of the tr tags with a class of even.
Well, jQuery works similarly, except that it has only a single function, $(). That function is smart enough to recognize what you want, based on a single CSS-style selector that you give it. (And yes, you may specify only a single selector.) However, id attributes need to begin with a # character, as is the case in CSS. Thus, you can say:
$('#foo') // jQuery
to get all the tags (and there should be only one such tag) that have an id attribute of foo, and:
$('tr.even') // jQuery
jjquery website
I think it should be www.jquery.com (not .org as in the article)

There were no surprises in a final report received a few days ago from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
The Cassgram reports rescue and city officials have known for about a month that Plattsmouth Rescue was likely to get non-passing grades in over two-thirds of the categories covered during a licensing audit and have spoken publicly about it.
The focus since the inspection, an inspection that was requested jointly by the rescue department and the city, has been on attaining passing grades.
Plattsmouth Rescue Captain Mike Wood says the department has addressed the areas that needed attention and believes the department would score about 95% now. Wood took over the captain's post in mid-September.

A parody version of a fictional New York Post front page created by the online version of Vanity Fair shows News Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch covered in shaving foam. The New York Post, which usually reports the humiliation of the powerful with gleefully pun-filled headlines and outlandish photo montages, passed on the chance to make a splash with the News Corp chairman's testimony. The news was buried on Page 35, leaving Vanity Fair to come up with its own satire of how the Post might have covered the story if News Corp did not own the tabloid and if Murdoch weren't listed as chairman on the newspaper's masthead. (Vanity Fair)
Phone Hacking Scandal News Update of the Day: News of the World whistleblower Sean Hoare was found dead this morning in his Watford home by Hertfordshire police. The former News of the World showbiz reporter was the first to explicitly state that former editor Andy Coulson was not only aware of the phone hacking by staff members, but was actively encouraging it.
Coulson denied allegations that he knew phones were being hacked under his watch, but Hoare told the BBC Coulson was lying, and that he had personally been asked by Coulson to tap into phones.
A police statement concerning Hoare's death stated that while it was "currently being treated as unexplained," it was "not thought to be suspicious."
Elsewhere, the Wall Street Journal joined its sister company Fox News in attempting to downplay the severity of the charges brought against its parent, saying their "competitor-critics" want "readers to believe, based on no evidence, that the tabloid excesses of one publication somehow tarnish thousands of other News Corp. journalists across the world."
For those apt to see the Phone Hacking reports as naught but Schadenfreude (which the WSJ says is "so thick you can't cut it with a chainsaw"), Salon offers a helpful refresher on the scandal so far:
News Corp. is accused of not just phone-hacking but also bribery of police officers and illegal access to private medical and banking records, obtained with the assistance of multiple private investigators and a convicted con artist. The crimes may not have been limited to the now-shuttered News of the World, but may have also included the Sunday Times. News Corp. withheld information from Parliament and paid hush money to hacking victims in order to avoid making the extent of its crimes public. People in charge of the News of the World during the hacking and the coverup of the hacking went on to much more powerful and influential positions in News Corp. and in the current Conservative government. The Guardian's suggested questions for Rebekah Brooks, James Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch are also a good summary of the scandal as we now understand it.
And in a late addition to the Schadenfreude-fueled "not thought to be suspicious" file, Rebekah Brooks' husband Charlie unsuccessfully attempted to retrieve a bag found in a garbage bin near their home that reportedly contains a computer, a phone, and paperwork. The contents of the bag are now being examined by police.

"Labour lawmaker Tom Watson, who sits on parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Committee, said the panel wanted to speak to News Corp boss Murdoch, his son James and Rebekah Brooks, who runs News Corp's British newspaper arm."
Now working as a private investigator, the ex-officer claimed reporters wanted the victim's phone numbers and details of the calls they had made and received in the days leading up to the atrocity.
A source said: "This investigator is used by a lot of journalists in America and he recently told me that he was asked to hack into the 9/11 victims' private phone data. He said that the journalists asked him to access records showing the calls that had been made to and from the mobile phones belonging to the victims and their relatives.

Scenario: In my classroom at work I have a computer connected to a Yamaha portable PA system (StagePas 400i) to run sound for various purposes. I have a Roland keyboard, my Taylor guitar, and the PC all hooked up to the built in mixer. Instruments using standard instrument cable (no issues here) and PC using a 50' 3.5mm to RCA from Monoprice. Whenever I use the RCA connected to the PC I get a VERY loud buzz/hum from the speakers that is not present at all with other sources.
Things I've tried:
-A different source connected through same cable: no hum
-Different cable from the same source: hum still present
-Unplugging the computer from the wall: Hum still present!
-Switching power strips/surge protectors: Hum still present
-Using both the Audio Out and Headphone jacks: Hum still present
It boggled my mind when the buzz didn't stop when I unplugged the computer from the wall.
Any other ideas or probable causes? I'm going positively mad here. The stagepas is new and works/sounds great with everything except this PC.

How to Hedge 7 Retirement Risks
These strategies will help you cope with common retirement worries.
There are many things that could go wrong with your retirement plan. You could develop a health problem, lose money on your investments, or simply watch inflation slowly reduce what your savings can buy. A recent Society of Actuaries survey of individuals ages 45 to 80 identified older Americans' biggest concerns, and what current retirees are doing to cope with them. Here's how to manage seven of the biggest retirement challenges:
Inflation. Inflation will erode the purchasing power of your retirement savings over time. Most retirees (69 percent) and pre-retirees (77 percent) are concerned about the value of their savings keeping up with inflation, the telephone survey conducted by Mathew Greenwald and Associates and the Employee Benefit Research Institute found. Social Security payments, some pension and annuity payments, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities are adjusted each year to keep up with inflation. "The first place to start is Social Security claiming and seeing if you can claim later," says Anna Rappaport, chairperson of the committee on post-retirement needs and risks at the Society of Actuaries. If you can increase your initial Social Security benefit amount by delaying when you sign up, you will increase the dollar value of your annual inflation adjustments. Other strategies for keeping up with rising prices include keeping some money in the stock market, investing in real estate, or continuing to work part-time at current wage levels.
Healthcare costs. The majority of older workers are worried about having enough money to pay for adequate healthcare (74 percent) and long-term care in a nursing home or at home (66 percent). To prepare for potential medical problems, most retirees say they are aiming to maintain healthy lifestyle habits (82 percent) and have purchased supplemental health insurance to Medicare or are participating in an employer-provided retiree health plan (65 percent). However, just a third of retirees are saving specifically for the possibility of having large health expenses, and only a quarter have bought long-term care insurance that would help pay for nursing care. "People need to think about, if they can, working until 65 when they are eligible for Medicare," says Cindy Levering, chair of the pension research team at the Society of Actuaries. "If you can delay that until 65 and stay under the active employer plan for as long as possible, I think that is very important."
Running out of money. After decades of saving for retirement, you need to make sure that money lasts the rest of your life. Many older workers are concerned that they will deplete their savings too quickly (63 percent) and won't be able to maintain a reasonable standard of living for the rest of their lives (64 percent). Many married retirees also worry about their spouse's ability to maintain the same standard of living after their death (45 percent) and being able to leave money to their children or heirs (38 percent). To prevent themselves from spending down their savings too quickly, most retirees (57 percent) have a plan for how much money they will spend each year in retirement and where that money will come from. Many retirees report that they have eliminated consumer debt, including credit cards and loans, paid off their mortgage, and found ways to cut back on spending.
Investment losses. Stock market losses can be especially devastating for retirees. Many workers approaching retirement age (56 percent) are apprehensive that their investments will lose value in retirement. To reduce investment risks, many retirees move their assets to less risky investments as they age (47 percent) and purchase products or choose employer plan options that provide them with guaranteed income for life (33 percent). It's important to maintain a cash cushion in retirement so that you can avoid selling investments while they are down in value.
Living longer than expected. A major retirement planning difficulty is that you don't know how many years of retirement you should save for. Most people underestimate how long they will live. When asked to estimate how long the average person can expect to live, the majority of retirees (62 percent) and pre-retirees (57 percent) provide a response that is below the average. And, of course, many people will live significantly beyond the average life expectancy. To be safe, many financial planners recommend that healthy people plan as if they will live until 100.

Quote:The problem could also be mechanical. The metal shafts stuck onto the end of a plastic worm assembly are very unlikely to be straight and could easily cause the worm to be binding during part of its rotation at which point the motor starts to strain which may in turn be triggering an electronics issue in regard to the power being supplied to the motor. I honestly can't believe that metal and plastic worm assembly. A cheap brass worm would have been far better, even with the plastic worm wheel.

The stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and other major indexes, continues to plow forward at a relatively slow, steady pace.
Since the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +0.12% broke out over resistance and the 200-day moving average on the first trading day of the year — Jan. 3rd — the market has had only two minor down days. One day SPX was down 4 and another down 6. Every other day has been up. There hasn't been any really negative news, but there hasn't been that much positive news, either. It's almost as if the bears are in hibernation. Where are the sellers?
Technically there is good support in the 1,260-1,270 area, from the 200-day moving average up to the afore-mentioned breakout point. In addition, the bullish trend line that defines this current uptrend is at about 1,240 right now. We do not expect any corrections to carry that far while our intermediate-term indicators are positive, but should 1,240 be violated, it would be quite negative. Meanwhile, SPX is trading above the October highs and at levels last seen in July. The next resistance level is at 1,345-1,350 — the July highs.

"Garbanzo beans in a tomato-based sauce with sweet Italian sausage and pasta. Hearty winter comfort food, it can be varied using other types of sausages. I came up with this one day when I was tired of the same old stuff, and I had picked up dried garbanzo beans at Cleveland's West Side Market."

- Place the garbanzo beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Or, bring the beans and water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour. Drain and rinse before using.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then stir in the sausage. Cook and stir until the sausage is evenly browned and no longer pink. Remove sausage and set aside, leaving any grease from the sausage in the skillet. Return the skillet to the stove and reduce the heat to medium, then add the bell pepper and onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the garlic. Continue cooking and stirring until the onion is golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the flour until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir the tomatoes and chicken stock into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sausage. Cover and cook over low heat for 2 hours, then add the prepared garbanzo beans. Cook for an additional hour.
- Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the pipette pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Stir the pasta into the stew, adding more chicken stock, if necessary.

I followed the recipe almost to the letter. My only changes were I chopped the onion, and I used canned diced tomatoes with chilies. I needed to add another can of chicken broth when adding the chickpeas. Very full flavored and balanced. Definately a Keeper!
Great! I substituted quite a bit here... I used two hot sausage links for the meat, kale instead of the pasta (to cut back on the carbs) and extra garbanzo beans. Topped with a little sour cream. Yum! Would definitely make again!
Bf really liked this. I thought it was okay--it's very flavored by the sausage, so choose something you like! I'm thinking the difference in our opinions has more to do with bf liking the sausage I used more than I like it. I changed this a bit bc bc didn't want me to do the roux, so I didn't, and I wanted to put it in the crockpot. So, I put everything except the chickpeas and pasta in, let it cook for several hours, then added the chickpeas about 45 mins before, and the pasta about 10 mins before serving. Worked perfectly, although I accidently dumped in more pasta than it called for. Thanks for the recipe!

The trial court found and the court of appeals upheld the finding that the appellant was an �equine activity participant� because she was a spectator to the �normal daily care of an equine.� In addition, the appellee was determined to be an �equine activity sponsor� due to the fact that he was an �operator� of a stable where the equine activity occurred. Thus, the equine immunity statute of Ohio is applicable to the appellee.
Plaintiff was bitten by a horse as she walked through a stable. The court determined that Plaintiff was a �participant� for the purposes of the Equine Activity Liability Act (EALA), and thus the Defendant stables owner was insulated from liability arising out of the unanticipated, abnormal behavior of the horse.
This case resulted from a remand by the Court of Appeals after the USDA denied the plaintiff's application for additional rulemaking for the Horse Protection Act to expressly prohibit the use of ten ounce chains and padded shoes in the training of show horses. The use of these materials, argues plaintiff, constitutes soring (the act of deliberately injuring a horse's hooves to obtain a particular type of gait prized at certain horse shows. The object of soring is to cause a horse to suffer pain as its feet touch the ground). This Court denied defendant's motion to dismiss and granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. In doing so, it directed the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture to institute rulemaking procedures concerning the use of action devices on show horses. The Court further held that the existing regulations are contrary to law and that the Secretary ignored his mandate from Congress under the Horse Protection Act.
Visitor to horse farm brought action for negligence when he was injured by owners colt. Held: the owner had no duty to prevent the colt from falling against the trailer door, nor did he have a duty to warn the visitor of the potential for such an accident to occur.
Plaintiff sued defendant for injuries she received after being thrown from defendant�s horse. Specifically, plaintiff argued that defendant knew or should have known of the horse�s �hazardous propensities� and therefore had a duty to protect plaintiff. In finding that there existed no special relationship between the parties to impart a duty to defendant, defendant�s motion for summary judgment was affirmed.
Plaintiff was was the owner of a certain roan mare of the value of $200; that, on or about the 21st day of April, 1888, the said mare became and was sick with some disease then unknown to plaintiff in kind and character; that, at said date last aforesaid, and long prior thereto, the defendant claimed to be, and advertised and held himself out to the public to be, a veterinary surgeon, and asked to be employed as such in the treatment of sick and diseased horses. The court held that a veterinary surgeon, in the absence of a special contract, engages to use such reasonable skill, diligence, and attention as may be ordinarily expected of persons in that profession. He does not undertake to use the highest degree of skill, nor an extraordinary amount of diligence. In other words, the care and diligence required are such as a careful and trustworthy man would be expected to exercise. The case was remanded for determination of further proofs.
Owner of pet horses sued boarders of horses who sold them for slaughter, asserting tort of outrage, or intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Court held that: (1) element of tort of outrage, or intentional infliction of emotional distress, requiring outrageous and intolerable conduct depends on conduct of wrongdoer, not subject of conduct; (2) boarders' actions constituted tort of outrage; and (3) award of $50,000 compensatory damages and $75,000 punitive damages was not excessive.
In this Georgia case, the plaintiff-invitee was knocked into a barbed wire fence by horse that was being boarded by the property owner, suffering injuries as a result. The Court of Appeals agreed with the trial court's order of summary judgment, finding that, under dangerous-animal statute, the property owner did not know of any vicious propensity on part of horse. Further, the invitee failed to show that horse had a vicious propensity and therefore could not prevail on premises-liability claim.
In this Colorado case, an inexperienced horse rider who was injured in fall from horse during a horse roundup, brought an action under the Colorado Equine Activities Statute against the owners of riding stable. The lower court, after a jury trial, entered a judgment for the stable owners. On appeal at the Supreme Court, the Court found that the Equine Statute places a two-pronged duty on sponsors; a sponsor is liable when he or she fails to make reasonable efforts to determine either a participant's ability to engage in the equine activity or a participant's ability to manage a particular horse. Here, a new trial was in order because the result may have been different if court had properly instructed the jury regarding the exception from civil liability for the sponsor.
Plaintiff, a licensed horse exercise rider sued the operator of a horse racing facility after he had been injured when he was thrown off a horse that he had been exercising, when the horse became spooked by a kite on the Defendant�s premises. The court determined that the Equine Activity Liability Act (EALA) did not offer protection of immunity to the Defendant because the exercising was found to be an activity in preparation for a horse race and the EALA does not apply to �horse race meetings.� However, the Plaintiff had previously signed a release, which covered �all risks of any injury that the undersigned may sustain while on the premises,� therefore, the Defendant was released from liability of negligence.
The cases concerns personal injuries sustained by one of the plaintiffs (Lisa) while she and her husband were on a horseback riding tour on the Dahana Ranch on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Prior to taking the ride, they signed waivers. The Courbats do not dispute that they both signed the Ranch's waiver form; rather, they assert that the Ranch's practice of booking ride reservations through an activity company, receiving payment prior to the arrival of the guest, and then, upon the guest's arrival at the Ranch, requiring the guest to sign a liability waiver as a precondition to horseback riding is an unfair and deceptive business practice. The question whether a waiver requirement would be materially important in booking a horseback tour remains one for the trier of fact. Because a genuine issue of material fact, resolvable only by the trier of fact, remains in dispute, the grant of summary judgment on the claim was erroneous the court held.
On April 6, 1982, plaintiffs sued defendant Thomas Larson and others owned by defendant and others as tenants in common, for damages for negligence after plaintiffs' automobile collided with a horse. On October 21, 1983, the trial court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment finding he owed no duty of care to plaintiffs as a landowner because his 1/2500th interest in the property was small and he exercised no control over the management of the property. The Court of Appeal reversed, holding that tenants in common of real property who delegate the control and management of the property to a separate legal entity should not be immunized from liability to third parties in the case of common area torts. The Court found that it was clear that considerations of public policy require that any departure from the common law rule of liability of individual owners of property in common cannot operate to the substantial detriment of third parties.
This matter is before the Court on the motion of Defendant United States Department of Agriculture's Motion to Dismiss. The Horse Protection Act (HPA) is federal legislation which outlaws the practice of �soring� (harm to the feet or limbs of horses in order to enhance the attractiveness of a light-stepped or high-stepping gait during horse-show performances), which is a particular concern for the breed of Tennessee Walking Horses. Plaintiffs seek to have the Court define �sore� and �scar� beyond the definitions provided in the regulations (specifically the �scar rule�). The court found, however, that any alleged or threatened injury based on the HPA or the Scar Rule has not yet occurred. Mere uncertainty about the HPA and Scar Rule alone does not create an injury in fact.
In this New York case, a minor child was injured when he was kicked by defendant's horse while defendant was in the process of the setting up a petting zoo at a picnic. The court was posed with the question of whether limited circumstances exist to support a negligence claim where a person is injured by a domestic animal and there is no proof of the animal's vicious propensities (the pony in this case never kicked anyone or showed any vicious propensities). The court answered the question in the affirmative. Here, defendant is subject to the enhanced duty of horse owners to young children. There were triable issues of fact as to defendant's negligence in the manner in which the horses were unloaded while in the presence of children that precluded summary judgment for defendant.
In this Utah case, plaintiff sued the defendants for personal injuries he sustained in attempting to untangle the defendants' horse from a chain that he alleges the defendants negligently tied it to a post in their yard. The Supreme Court held that plaintiff who, at defendant's request, entered upon defendants' land to help free horse which had become entangled in chain because of defendant's alleged negligence in tying the horse to the post, could not recover for his injuries since it was his knowing and voluntary conduct in going into a "plain-to-be-seen" danger. The dissent found that defendants did owe a duty to plaintiff to exercise reasonable care under the circumstances in the manner in which they tied the horse. The dissent found this case more analogous to those under a "rescue doctrine," where recovery is not barred based on the doctrine of assumption of risk or intervening cause.
A woman was horseback riding at a ranch in New York and was injured when she fell off the horse. The woman had signed a Horse Rental Agreement and Liability Release Form before the accident. The court determined that the rider assumed the risk of injury and the lower court's decision to deny defendant's motion for summary judgment was reversed.
Plaintiffs sued defendant for the death of their racehorses resulting from alleged veterinary malpractice. The court held that a genuine issue of material fact as to whether veterinarian's actions comported with professional standard of care in treating racehorses precluded summary judgment. However, the owners were not entitled to recover damages for their emotional distress as result of veterinarian's alleged negligent destruction of horses. Nebraska law has generally regarded animals as personal property and emotional damages cannot be had for the negligent destruction of personal property.
Defendant-veterinarian sought appeal of a judgment against him for malpractice resulting from the injury to plaintiff�s thoroughbred colt that resulted in its destruction. The Court of Appeals held that an examination of the record revealed that sufficient evidence was produced to put in issue the question of whether appellant used such skill and attention as may ordinarily be expected of careful and skillful persons in his profession. Thus, the issue was correctly submitted to a jury.
This case involves two passengers who were injured when the horse-drawn carriage that they were riding in turned over after the horse was startled and the driver lost control of the horse. The trial court held, and the court of appeals affirmed, that the defendant�s carriage business was not immune from liability to its passengers under Tennessee�s equine liability statute. There were three reasons for this decision: 1) the defendant is not an �equine activity sponsor,� 2) his business is not an �equine activity,� and 3) the plaintiffs were not �participants� engaging in an �equine activity� when they were injured.
Plaintiff's action results from defendant's alleged negligence in blowing the train whistle in a excessive manner such that it cause plaintiff's horses to run away with the plaintiff's carriage. There was judgment for plaintiff in a less sum than he thought he was entitled to, and both parties appeal. In reversing the lower court's decision, this court found that the lessened market value of the horses in consequence of the runaway was a proximate and legitimate element of damage.
A Texas horse owner brought action against horse farm for negligence and breach of implied warranty in connection with the death of a horse in care of horse farm. On appeal of a decision in favor of the horse owner, the Court of Appeals held that by asking veterinarian if veterinarian told the horse owner that the horse died because it was not brought to veterinary clinic soon enough, the horse farm opened the door, and thus, the previously-rejected hearsay testimony regarding horse owner's conversation with veterinarian was admissible for limited purpose of impeaching veterinarian's testimony. Thus, the evidence was legally and factually sufficient to support the jury's verdict.
In this New York case, plaintiffs surrendered their maltreated horse to defendant Sullivan County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. on March 4, 2005. Shortly thereafter, they commenced this action seeking return of the horse and damages, including punitive damages. Defendants' answer failed to respond to all paragraphs of the 38-paragraph complaint, which included six causes of action, prompting plaintiffs to move for summary judgment on the ground that defendants admitted "all" essential and material facts. At oral argument before this Court, plaintiffs' counsel consented to defendants filing an amended answer. The court found that since this amended pleading will presumably contain denials to all contested allegations in the complaint, plaintiffs' request for summary judgment on the procedural ground that defendants' failed to deny certain facts must fail. Moreover, as correctly noted by Supreme Court, conflicting evidence precludes summary judgment in plaintiffs' favor.
Plaintiff was injured when she was thrown from her horse while she was riding her horse in a city field. Plaintiff sued Defendant for her injuries because she was thrown from her horse after the horse was startled by the Defendant�s dogs, which were chasing the horse. The Defendant claimed that she was immune from liability under Ohio�s Equine Activity Liability Act. However, in this case of first impression, the court found that the EALA did not apply to Defendant because Plaintiff was not engaged in an �equine activity� at the time of the injury and the statute is not meant to apply to all third parties involved in an accident in which an equine was present.
In the case of Hatahley v. United States, 351 U.S. 173 (1956), a group of Navajo Indians living in Utah sued the government under the Federal Torts Claim Act, to recover the confiscation and destruction of horses and burros that were kept as pets and uniquely valued to the owners. The federal agents confiscated these animals and then sold them to a glue factory. The petitioners vehemently argued that these horses had unique and sentimental value to them, and served as a means of income to yield crops. Although the government agents argued that they were authorized to engage in this taking pursuant to the Utah Abandoned Horse Slaughter Act, the trial court ruled in favor of the petitioners. The court awarded the petitioners a judgment of $100,000 based on the fair market value, consequential damages for deprivation of use, and �mental pain and suffering� of the petitioners. The decision was reversed and remanded to the District Court with instructions to assess damages with sufficient particularity.
This involved an action by R. D. Jones against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Company, claiming $2,000 damages,--$1,000 for the value of a colt killed by defendant's train, and $1,000 damages for not posting notice of the killing as required by the statute. The court looked at areas in the market outside of the locality since local information on the colt�s market value was not available. The court affirmed the lower court's judgment due to a lack in plaintiff's proofs at trial.
Plaintiff, a passenger of a horse-drawn sled sued the owner of the property on which the accident occurred, as well as the owner of the horses and the sled for the injuries she suffered when thrown from the sled. The Court of Appeals found that the equine immunity statute provided protection for the owner of the horse against tort liability. The plain language of the statute provides that immunity from civil liability is available to all persons, �including an equine activity sponsor or equine professional��; thus, protection is not limited only to those who are sponsors or professionals, rather they are examples of types of people to whom the statute applies.
A district court found the appellant's animals had been lawfully seized, and then divested appellant of ownership of the animals and vested custody to the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). The appellant filed an appeal in the civil division of the circuit court, but the circuit court dismissed the appeal as untimely and not properly perfected. Upon another appeal, the Arkansas Court of Appeals found it had no jurisdiction and therefore dismissed the case.
Plaintiff filed suit against Defendant for violation of the Animal Control Act and alleged negligence due to the broken leg that the Plaintiff suffered after she was kicked by Defendant's horse while trying to pass the horse on a group ride. At the time of the accident, the defendant was neither an "equine activity sponsor" nor an "equine professional" according to the Act. The issue was whether the Act applied only to those two groups of people, and the court held that the Act does not preclude negligence liability for persons other than equine activity sponsors and equine professionals.
Plaintiff, a participant in a horse show, was injured when a stallion bucked and kicked him; he sued the show�s sponsor, and the stallion�s rider and owner alleging negligent and willful and wanton misconduct, by failing to conduct background checks into the horses and by failing to separate the stallions participating in the show, inter alia. The Equine Activity Liability Act, which was established to shield those persons who participate in equine activities from liability, provides an exception to the general rule by permitting liability for equine activity sponsors that commit �an act or omission that constitutes willful or wanton disregard for the safety of the participant, and that act or omission caused the injury.� In this case, the plaintiff failed to provide evidence that showed that the defendants behaved in a reckless or intentional manner, therefore the summary judgment in favor of the defendant entered by the trial court was founded to be proper.
A farmer was neglecting her horses and the entire herd confiscated by animal control officers. The farmer brought a section 1983 claim against the animal control officers for acting outside of the scope of their warrant by removing more than just the sick horses. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court in part, holding the animal control officers were entitled to qualified immunity and seizure of all the horses was not unreasonable or outside the scope of the warrant.
After the defendants confiscated mare without a warrant and required that the plaintiff surrender another mare and a few other animals in order to avoid prosecution, the plaintiffs sued the defendants for violating the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Civil Rights Act and Pennsylvania statutory and common law. However, the plaintiffs lost when the district court granted the defendants motion for summary judgment on all counts.
Defendant claimed the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction of cruelty to animals, arguing that there was not proof that the horses were under his charge or custody. While the court agreed and reversed his conviction because he could not be convicted under the statute merely as the owner of the horses, absent proof of his care or custody of the horses, it further explained that the "owner or otherwise" statutory language was designed to punish cruelty to animals without regard to ownership. For more, see Detailed Discussion.
Defendant was convicted of mutilating the horse of another. He argued on appeal that the trial court's jury instructions, which read that malice toward the owner of the horse was not necessary, were incorrect. The court agreed and found that although the general malice of the law of crime is sufficient to support the offense, the trial court must instruct that malice is an essential element of the offense. For more, see Detailed Discussion.
Defendant was convicted of failing to provide adequate care to 16 horses. On appeal, Defendant first argued that, to him, nothing appeared to be wrong with his horses and, consequently, no liability can attach. The court disagreed, explaining: "Defendant's personal belief that his horses were in good health . . . was therefore based on fallacy, and has no effect on his liability under the statute." Defendant also maintained that he is an animal hoarder, which is a "psychological condition" that mitigates his intent. Rejecting this argument, the court noted that Defendant�s "hoarding" contention is based upon a non-adopted bill which, in any event, fails to indicate whether animal hoarding may serve as a proper defense.
In this Montana case, the plaintiff brought claims for negligence, strict liability for abnormally dangerous domestic animal, and punitive damages against the defendant horse owner. She alleged that defendant's horse bit her while she was on land defendant used for pasturing the horse that adjoined her land. After the lower court granted summary judgment to the defendant, the plaintiff appealed. The Supreme Court held that even though the Montana Supreme Court has not adopted the provision of the Second Restatement of Torts regarding an animal owner's strict liability for injury caused by an abnormally dangerous domestic animal, this was not the test case to do it. The court found that Peterson failed to produce any evidence or legal authority that the horse's biting constituted a "dangerous propensity abnormal to her class" to bring her under the Restatement's strict liability.
The plaintiff sought to recover damages for the defendant's negligence in the diagnosis and the treatment of plaintiff's brood mare, which resulted in the mare's infertility. Plaintiff was required to show that Dr. Rogers did not exercise the care and diligence as is ordinarily exercised by skilled veterinarians doing the same type of work in the community, and that the failure to exercise the required skill and care was the cause of the injury. Experts testified at trial that the care exercised by Dr. Rogers met the standard of care of veterinarians practicing in the area, and had they been treating the mare, the treatment would not have differed substantially from that of Dr. Rogers. The Supreme Court held that the record is clear that the plaintiff failed to sustain his burden that the care of Dr. Rogers did not meet the standard of care of other practitioners practicing in the community.
On Plaintiff�s civil rights § 1983 action against Defendant, the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, based on the impoundment of forty-six horses and three donkeys from Plaintiff�s property following an investigation into potential violations of the Georgia Humane Care for Equines Act (the �Act�), Plaintiff appealed the District Court�s decision to grant Defendant�s motion for summary judgment, arguing that Defendant is not entitled to qualified immunity because Defendant failed to provide Plaintiff with an opportunity to be heard prior to the seizure of her equines, adequate notice of Plaintiff�s right to and procedure for requesting a hearing, and adequate post-deprivation process. The United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit affirmed the lower court�s decision, finding that the risk of erroneous deprivation in this case was minimal in light of the State�s compliance with the standards and procedures for inspection and impoundment prescribed by the Act, that the statutory notice of the right to contest the impoundment was reasonably calculated to provide Plaintiff with notice of her right to a hearing, and that the Act provided adequate power to review and to remedy violations of due process.
In this Illinois case, the passenger of horse-drawn carriage brought action in negligence and strict liability against driver of carriage and owner of horse and carriage for injuries passenger received when carriage went off road and overturned. The lower court dismissed all of passenger's counts. On appeal, the Appellate Court held that, as matter of first impression, the passenger was not subject to provisions of EALA, and the alleged facts sufficient to state cause of action under state Animal Control Act.
This action was brought by plaintiff as owner of a 3 year old thoroughbred race horse, named Pribal, against defendant, a veterinarian, charging defendant so mishandled the horse that it sustained physical injuries and emotional trauma; that the emotional stability of the horse worsened until finally it was exterminated. The court held that the evidence failed to show any proximate cause between the surgery that was performed on the horse and the subsequent care and transport of the horse by the veterinarian.
As the court stated, what caused Pribal to become mean and a "killer" is speculative; the O.S.U. Veterinary Clinic records in evidence did not indicate any causal relationship between the handling of Pribal by the defendant and the subsequent personality change resulting in Pribal becoming a "killer horse."
A trial court granted a local humane society permission to humanely dispose of horses placed in their custody by the Sheriff. A man filed petition for a writ of mandamus against the the trial judge and humane society to challenge the judge's order. The Court of Appeals reversed the trial court holding the trial court lacked jurisdiction over the Humane Society of Missouri. Opinion transferred to State ex rel. Zobel v. Burrell, 167 S.W.3d 688 (Mo., 2005).
Police seized 120 neglected horses pursuant to a search warrant and a Circuit Court Judge allowed humane societies to dispose of the horses. The owner of the horses sought a writ of mandamus against the Circuit Court Judge. The Missouri Supreme Court held the Circuit Court Judge had jurisdiction to permit the seized horses to be disposed of and the impoundment statute was not unconstitutionally vague.
This Oregon case considers, as an issue of first impression, whether the emergency aid exception to the warrant requirement applies to animals in need of immediate assistance. Defendant appealed her conviction for second-degree animal neglect (ORS 167.325) based on the condition of her horse. The court found that the emergency aid exception extends to nonhuman animals when law enforcement officers have an objectively reasonable belief that the search or seizure is necessary to render immediate aid or assistance to animals which are imminently threatened with suffering, serious physical injury or cruel death. Here, the deputy sheriff found that the horse was more emaciated than any other horse he had ever seen and there were signs of possible organ failure.
Fifteen horses were seized by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) because the animals were in poor condition. The SPCA sent bills to the owners for feeding, upkeep, and veterinary care, but the owners did not pay the bills. After 30 days of nonpayment, the SPCA became the owners of the horses, and the prior owners were not entitled to get the horses back.
Minor sued farmer horse-owner for negligence after farmer's horse bit him. The Appellate Court reversed summary judgment, holding that a fact issue remained as to whether the farmer had notice that the horse belonged to a class of domestic animals that possessed a natural propensity to bite. Such knowledge may make certain injuries foreseeable, giving rise to a duty to use reasonable care to restrain the animal to prevent injury.
Appellant was tried by a jury and found guilty of four counts of cruelty to animals concerning four Arabian horses. On appeal, appellant raised a sufficiency of the evidence challenge and a Rule 404(b) challenge to the admission of testimony and pictures concerning the condition of appellant's dogs and her house. The court found the photographic evidence was admissible for purposes other than to prove appellant's character, e.g., to show her knowledge of neglect of animals within her house, and thereby the absence of mistake or accident concerning the horses that lived outside.
Defendant-veterinarian was contracted to castrate plaintiff�s horse. Post-surgical care resulted in a fatal infection of the horse. The court found that, indeed, expert testimony is required in malpractice cases, as negligence cannot be inferred from the existence of a loss. The court disagreed with plaintiff that defendant�s own "admissions" in his testimony at trial provided sufficient evidence of deviation from the standard of care to withstand a directed verdict by defendant. As to plaintiff�s argument regarding a lack of informed consent, the court noted that a medical malpractice claim premised on a theory of lack of informed consent is a separate cause of action rather than an "element" in an otherwise specifically alleged claim of professional negligence.
