"I have chosen you out of the world." {#Joh 15:19}
Here is distinguishing grace and discriminating regard; for some are made the special objects of divine affection. Do not be afraid to dwell upon this high doctrine of election. When your mind is most heavy and depressed, you will find it to be a bottle of richest cordial. Those who doubt the doctrines of grace, or who cast them into the shade, miss the richest clusters of Eshcol; they lose the wines on the lees well refined, the fat things full of marrow. There is no balm in Gilead comparable to it. If the honey in Jonathan's wood when but touched enlightened the eyes, this is honey which will enlighten your heart to love and learn the mysteries of the kingdom of God. Eat, and fear not a surfeit; live upon this choice dainty, and fear not that it will be too delicate a diet. Meat from the King's table will hurt none of his courtiers. Desire to have your mind enlarged, that you may comprehend more and more the eternal, everlasting, discriminating love of God. When you have mounted as high as election, tarry on its sister mount, the covenant of grace. Covenant engagements are the munitions of stupendous rock behind which we lie entrenched; covenant engagements with the surety, Christ Jesus, are the quiet resting places of trembling spirits.
"His oath, his covenant, his blood,
Support me in the raging flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
This still is all my strength and stay."
If Jesus undertook to bring me to glory, and if the Father promised that he would give me to the Son to be a part of the infinite reward of the travail of his soul; then, my soul, till God himself shall be unfaithful, till Jesus shall cease to be the truth, thou art safe. When David danced before the ark, he told Michal that election made him do so. Come, my soul, exult before the God of grace and leap for joy of heart.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The Central Michigan track and field teams took on some tough competition at Notre Dame this weekend, facing roughly 49 other competing programs, as well as unattached athletes.
"Overall we had a lot of solid marks moving us forward. Obviously we had more qualifiers this weekend, moving us up in the conference," said director of track and field Willie Randolph.
Senior Maddie Ribant finished 14th out of 59 runners in the women's 5000m race with a time of 17:07.72, which is a personal record. Joining Ribant in qualifying, junior Krista Parks ran a time of 17:18.24.
Sophomore Bridget Doughty qualified for the MAC Championships in the 400m race with a time of 56.37.
Ross Parsons qualified for the MAC Championships in the 60m dash with a time of 6.90, finishing eighth in the semifinals race. Only the top six moved on.
In the 5000m race, sophomore Ethan Lievense finished fifth with a qualifying time of 14:30.02. Fellow sophomore Kyle Stacks finished 10th with a time of 14:35.74, also a qualifying mark. Both sophomores have now qualified for the MAC Indoor Championships in the mile, the 3000m race, and now the 5000m race.
At the Findlay Open, freshman Devene Brown finished third in the shot put with a throw of 42-9.75. Kayla Brindley finished sixth with a toss of 40-05.00.
On the men's side, senior Alex Rose threw in the shot put "elite" competition, where he finished ninth with a throw of 54-02.00, a MAC qualifying mark. Junior Calvin Jackson threw a heave of 57-03.00 in the men's weight throw on Friday, qualifying him for the MAC Championships meet.
Next weekend the Chippewas head down to Allendale, Mich., to compete at the GVSU Big Meet on February 8 and 9.

Horrible to keep clean!!!
This is by far the work humidifier ever!! It gets funky too quick & is impossible to clean!!
works great
The Vicks humidifier does what the discription says and does it well. This purchase was for a friend. We purchased ours months ago and were so impressed we mentioned it to friends. It holds a large quantity of water and very quietly does a good job of getting humidity back into the air in our house. We have had no problems and like the product very much, especially the price.
Vicks V4450
We've had it now for 2 years working in the winter months when the furnace is running. 1st year was O.K. except that we had to cover the "nightlight" as it kept us awake. It still "glows" way to bright for people who usually have all the lights off at night. Can't shut off the nightlight feature. By the second year, it has been growing a "pink" mold in all areas that have water in them. Have scrubbed the unit several times but it returns in a few days of use. Areas that can not be reached it grows rampent. Now the unit is getting LOUDE and growing louder which is making it very difficult to sleep with it running. Have attempted to turn the unit is various positions in relations to our bed and it doesn't make any difference. In hindsight, we should have considered all that before we bought it. We're not going to make the warranty period of 3 years...not a good purchase.

We bought this dish washer last year. We've owned six washers in the many houses we've lived in during the past 45 years (so we've obviously had a lot of practice with operating dish washers) but this washer is absolutely the worst! It cleans okay, but it's noisy, takes four hours to do a complete cycle and it doesn't dry the dishes; we have to leave the door open to let it air dry for another two or three hours or dry the dishes ourselves. We called for service and even though we have an extended warranty, we were given such guff by the customer service rep (who obviously didn't want to send out a serviceman) that our good opinion of Kenmore products has gone down the chute. Wish we'd returned it when we had the chance and bought something else. We'll be a lot more hesitant about buying Sears appliances in the future--especially when we have to go through a song and dance to get them repaired UNDER WARRANTY!

We bought this model a few months ago. It does the job, and it does not make a loud noise. Then we moved to a house without a dishwasher. We bought the same model.

I thought that I had purchased the ideal dishwasher. The dishes were never as clean as desired. The control panel broke and was replaced after two years and again after another year. I wish that I had returned this item when I could have.

This machine replaced a 15 year old Kenmore. Positives - Very Quiet - Turbo Boost works well - The quick rinse is great when dishes are kept overnight - Dries surprisingly well - Priced very fairly Negatives - upright prongs could be longer to separate large plates better - Top rack adjustment is awkward but since it is rarely used I have no problem

Our Kenmore dishwasher was delivered, as promised, in a timely manner. The installers were courteous and efficient. And the dishwasher is one of the best we have had to date. When finished, the dishes are clean and spotless. For approximately 45 years, I have purchased Sears appliances, kitchen and other appliances, and have always been pleased with the life of the appliances and the service(s) Sears provided. I have a refrigerator, for drinks only, that has set in my garages for 20+ years. Since I now need a larger capacity, I will replace it in early to mid-2014. The current unit is still in good operating condition and has run maintenance free as of this writing. My choice and recommendation for appliances is Sears...I am confident that we will continue to experience the same level of satisfaction with our new dishwasher.
I used to really love this dishwasher. It has ALL of the features I wanted. Quick rinse, turbo zone, adjustable top rack.... but the touch pad control panel went bad after less than 3 years. Service call and parts were more than half the price of a new one. SO DISAPPOINTED!
Minot, ND

We bought this dishwasher back in May, and have been very happy with it...That is until a week ago when one of the little plastic rollers that the top rack rolls in and out of the machine on, broke. When pulling the rack out to unload it, the roller, along with another small piece of plastic, just broke off and fell on the floor...I have no idea why...We're not rough with our appliances, and this machine is only 5 months old. I've never had something like this break on any other dishwasher that we've ever had, and we have had Kenmore products before, of all kinds, without a problem. Fortunately, this is covered under the warranty, and the part was ordered, and it came today-The repairman is coming next week, so hopefully this will be fixed without a problem and won't happen again. We'll see. Other than this, this machine does a great job of cleaning, though the cycles tend to be quite long. The 1 hour wash is the shortest, so we use that when we need the dishes washed in a hurry. Overall we've been happy, but are disappointed and a bit mystified about the part that broke. Hopefully this will be an isolated occurrence.

Product Launch - TRAVEL RETAIL: William Grant & Sons' The Balvenie Triple Cask range
By Olly Wehring | 30 July 2013
Click through to view William Grant & Sons' The Balvenie Triple Cask range
William Grant & Sons' The Balvenie Triple Cask range
Category - Spirits, whisky, Scotch, single malt
Available - From this month
Location - Global travel retail exclusively
Price - 12-year-old, GBP49.99 (US$77) per 1-litre bottle, 16-year-old, GBP64.99 per 70cl bottle, 25-year-old, GBP299 per 75cl bottle
Distribution - William Grant & Sons
William Grant & Sons has launched a travel retail-exclusive range from its The Balvenie Scotch whisky brand. The Balvenie Triple Cask comprises a 12-year-old, a 16-year-old and a 25-year-old expression.
Earlier this year, William Grant launched another Balvenie travel retail iteration: The Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 7 retails at GBP175 (US$277) per bottle.
Delhi Duty Free is the first retailer in the Indian Sub Continent to introduce the new The Balvenie Triple Cask range from William Grant & Sons. Comprising 12 year old, 16 year old and 25 year old variants, Balvenie Triple Cask has been developed exclusively for the global travel retail sector and has a unique proposition.
The range has been introduced to Delhi Duty Free during July using special merchandising units created to give high visibility to the range.
Says WGS (title) Neeraj Sharma: 'After the great success of The Balvenie range in both global travel retail and domestic business we have decided to provide international travellers an opportunity to discover more from a differentiated range of handcrafted Single Malt whiskies crafted by Malt Master David Stewart.'
The Triple Cask range offers expressions of The Balvenie that have matured in the three most traditional types of cask – first-fill bourbon, refill bourbon and sherry; all in a large wooden vessel known as a marrying tun. Each offers something unique: The Triple Cask 12 year old is elegantly sweet and spicy, with a mellow taste of dried fruits, vanilla and cinnamon; the Triple Cask 16 year old delivers a rich vanilla sweetness alongside hints of toffee and gentle oak; and the Triple Cask 25 year old is deep, rich and complex, with silky oak and spice and an exceptionally long and warming finish.
Adds Sharma: 'Single Malts are a growing sector at Delhi Duty Free with sales increases quite significantly above other liquor categories, so we are confident that the new Balvenie Triple Cask range will have real appeal to travellers – particularly because it is exclusive to the channel and therefore cannot be found on domestic markets. This gives added gift and collecting appeal to the range.'
Said Steve O Connor, CEO, Delhi Duty Free: "Delhi Duty Free is viewed today as a premium retail destination within India catering to a diverse audience, who are well traveled and brand conscious. We have find tremendous customer interest in all versions of the Balvenie Single Malt and are honored to be a part of the worldwide launch of "Balvenie Triple Cask Range". It's a drink of choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life. As a category the single malts is critical to our liquor strategy. Today Delhi duty free offers one of the widest and rarest collections of single malts in the world."

The 42-year-old ex-security guard was charged with additional counts after prosecutors linked him to a similar shooting in 2011 at the same mall.
No one was hit in either shooting at Fashion Island.
A police detective says Gurrola told him he discharged the gun because "it made him feel better."
Police are investigating several similar incidents involving Gurrola.
The Los Angeles Times reports ( http://lat.ms/W0DRxG) Gurrola's next court date is scheduled for March 15.

Protesting a Foreign Military Presence: Japanese Resistance, US Military, and A Discussion of the film ANPO: Art X War
Thursday, February 23, 1:30-3:00
Student Center, Sprague/Carlton Room
This event will feature clips from the recent documentary film ANPO: Art X War and a discussion of the film with its director Linda Hoaglund.
ANPO: Art X War is a documentary film that reveals the story of resistance to U.S. military bases which remain in Japan today, through a collage of paintings, photographs, anime, films, and music by Japan's most respected artists. These artists and their art portray the devastating impact of the struggle against the U.S. military presence, which erupted into a democratic, national uprising in 1960.
Linda Hoaglund wrote and produced Wings of Defeat, a feature documentary about Kamikaze survivors. She was born in Kyoto, the daughter of American missionary parents, and raised in rural Japan where she attended Japanese public schools. After graduating from Yale University, she worked as a bilingual news producer for Fuji TV, the Japanese television network. She later worked as a producer for an independent American film production company. Since 1996, she has subtitled 200 Japanese films. She represents Japanese directors abroad and serves as an international producers liaison. She served as the Film Curator for the Japan Society in New York from 2005 - 2007 and curated Columbia University's 2008Japanese Film Series, "Out of the Ashes." In 2004, she received a commendation from the Foreign Minister of Japan for her work promoting Japanese film abroad.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Nov. 26, 2013 – James Madison volleyball head coach Lauren Steinbrecher announced the signing of outside hitter Sydney Morris (Hurt, Va./Altavista) to a national letter of intent to join the program for the 2014 season on Tuesday.
"We wanted to bring in an outside hitter that we thought could be a terminal L1 for us in the future," Steinbrecher said. "We were so excited to have Sydney commit to us. She is a physical athlete at the net and can really terminate and bring a lot of power to the offense. She's a fantastic blocker as well and has really nice touch on her platform. We look forward to getting her in her and training."
Morris comes to Madison out of Altavista High School in Altavista, Va. She was recently named the Conference 44 Player of the Year for 2013 as well as the Region 1A East Player of the Year. In addition she is a First Team All-Conference selection and In 2012 she was the Dogwood District Player of the Year. This season the Colonels went 21-2, winning Dogwood District, Conference 44 and Region 1A East championships on their way to its third-straight appearance in the state semifinals.
Morris is a three-sport start for the Colonels, playing basketball and running track as well.
Steinbrecher added, "We knew we needed an outside hitter. We are always picky with who we recruit, but we were very excited when Sydney said she wanted to be a Duke."
JMU finished the 2013 season at 13-15 and 8-6 in the Colonial Athletic Association. They finished tied for third in the CAA and advanced to the CAA Championship for the fourth straight year. In 2014, the Dukes bring back all six starters and its libero from this season's squad.

How do I file a claim for insurance?
Present your insurance card at every service provider visit. Most will file your charges to your insurer, if you go to a participating provider. If not, you may be required to file your own claim. In that case, use the group number, your identification number and the claim office address indicated on your insurance card.
For Allegiance Benefit Plan Management (ABPM) $400 and $575 Deductible Plans, you are responsible for paying charges up to your selected deductible amount. After your deductible is met, ABPM pays either 80% or 75%, of allowable charges (depending on the type of provider and service involved)*, and you pay either 20% or 25% of charges, if you see a participating provider. If you visit a non-participating provider, you are also responsible for charges over and above the Network-negotiated allowable amount.
For New West or Blue Cross Managed Care plans, if you use a participating provider you are responsible for the office visit ($15), emergency room ($75) and urgent care ($25) co-payments. For other types of in-network services, you are responsible for paying charges up to the $300 In-Network deductible and then, the plan pays 75% and you pay 25%. If you visit a non-participating provider, you are responsible for an additional $500 non-Network deductible, and then, the plan pays 65% and you pay 35%. You may also be responsible for the difference in charges over and above the Network-negotiated allowable amount. For urgent/emergent care, network participation is waived for emergency services, but not for follow-up care.
* See your Choices benefits guide for specific co-payment amounts.
How do I add/delete a dependent to my insurance coverage?
You will be required to complete a new CHOICES form including the Mid-Year Change Information section within 31 days of the event. Major Life Event.
As a new employee, when do my insurance benefits go into effect?
If you are in an insurance benefits eligible position, your insurance benefits begin the day you begin work at The University of Montana.
If I terminate, when do my benefits end?
Your medical, dental and optional vision benefits will end on the last day of the month in which you work. Your life insurance, long-term disability and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) benefits will end on the last day that you work.
By federal law, you will be offered a COBRA extension plan in which you can continue medical, dental and/or vision coverage for up to 18 months by self-paying the premiums. Your medical insurer will automatically send you information on this coverage. You then have 60 days to elect this coverage. If elected, COBRA coverage will begin immediately after your group coverage ends.
Our life insurance plan has a portability clause that allows terminating employees the option to continue their life insurance coverage by self-paying. You must apply for this coverage within 31 days of your last day worked. Information, application forms, and rates are available in HRS. See also: Life Portability Rates

Pictures of Poison Ivy Plants, How to Kill Poison Ivy Plants
Poison Ivy
How do you identify poison ivy? It's tough, because this vine can be little and run along the ground, but it can also grow huge and reach for the sky, using trees as trellises. Learn the facts about Rhus radicans: not only what it looks like, but also how to get rid of it.
Pictures of Poison Ivy
These are not just any pictures of poison ivy. When do you expect to bump into poison ivy plants? In spring? Summer? Fall? Winter? You don't know, right? Exactly. That's why I go beyond the usual photo showing "leaves of three." Using my photos, you'll be able to identify poison ivy plants even without the leaves.
How to Identify Poison Ivy
Sure, poison ivy famously exhibits three leaflets, but so do many other plants. If you're really serious about identifying poison ivy, you'll need to do better than that. Here's an article that tackles the subject from a number of angles.
Poison Ivy Plants
Looking for more material on poison ivy plants besides pictures? How about poison oak and poison sumac, too? Then this is where to start your research. What do you need help with? Identifying the plants? Killing them (whether organically or with herbicides)? Treating a rash? It's all here.
Poison Sumac Pictures
Here's another set of pictures supplied for identification purposes. But in this case, I'm showing you what poison sumac looks like. Poison sumac is quite a "different animal." You could easily mistake it for a shrub that you wouldn't mind having in your landscape, as it has pretty fall foliage.
Sumac vs. Poison Sumac
Sumac (sumach) is considered a "weed" by many, although it's a good weed if you're seeking a fall foliage display. But the real point of this article distinguishes poison sumac from the non-poisonous sumac bushes, and details the many uses to which the latter have been put from Roman times to the present.
Identifying, Killing, Treating
What signs do you need to be able to recognize poison ivy plants? How are they related to poison oak and poison sumac? How do kill poison ivy plants, and can you do so organically? What treatment is required if you come into contact with poison ivy, and what does "jewelweed" have to do with all of this? Find the answers here.
Treatment for Poison Ivy Rash
Have you come down with poison ivy rash? Then information on identifying and/or killing poison ivy plants is perhaps on a back burner for you, at present. If your primary agenda right now is learning about the treatment for poison ivy rash, then this is the place to begin.
Safe Removal: Avoiding the Rash
OK, so you know what poison ivy looks like now, after perusing my resources above. You could just make it a point to steer clear of it from now on. But what if you inadvertently step in it? No, to make your life easier, the better approach is to remove it, so you won't have to worry about it. Here's how to do the job safely.
How to Get Rid of Poison Oak
Many people worry needlessly about coming into contact with poison oak, because it simply does not grow in their region. But you West Coasters really do have to worry about poison oak. Here's some information to help you determine what poison oak looks like -- and how to get rid of it.
Poison Sumac Plants
Avoid contact with poison sumac if possible, as it is, by some accounts, even more toxic than its relative, poison ivy. In this article I help you identify the plant, so that you'll (hopefully) never have to find out what the rash is like.
Identification of Poison Ivy Plants Through Sensing Patches
If you could use some extra help identifying poison ivy plants, one option is to turn to chemistry. That's right, chemistry! Here I review a urushiol-detecting product that can aid you in your identification of poison ivy. I recommend using it as a learning device, not as a crutch.
Poison Ivy Quiz
Do your kids like to spend a lot of time in the backyard? That's great, because they need the fresh air. But you certainly do not want them running into poison ivy plants and developing itchy rashes! Take our Poison Ivy Quiz to determine if you know what you need to know about poison ivy plants. Ace the quiz and it'll put your mind at ease that you're ready to keep your kids safe this summer.
Poison Ivy Plants
Concerning poison ivy plants and their relatives, Steve Nix, About's Forestry Guide, writes that you often find them growing along fence rows, at the edge of the forest or in cut-over forest areas, along river banks, and growing up tree trunks. Find out more about the Rhus family here, including poison ivy plants.
Test Kit for Poison Ivy, Oak and Sumac
Poisonivydetection.com markets a detector kit for identifying poison ivy. The detector kit is geared to detecting poison ivy and sumac but should also detect poison oak. The author makes the important point on his site that you can get the rash from tools that have been contaminated; he suggests disinfecting with alcohol or a strong laundry detergent solution applied to a cloth.

Public Drinking Water Branch
Chronic Monitoring Violations
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources routinely posts a list of drinking water systems that have chronically failed to do required bacteriological testing. The department requires all public water systems to test for bacteria at least once a month to verify that these systems are providing safe drinking water to the public. While failing to monitor does not necessarily mean that the water is unsafe, routine testing is a crucial part of maintaining a safe water supply.
The systems listed have at least three major monitoring violations in a 12-month period. The reports below give the most recent bacteriological results and any maximum contaminant level violations in the system's history since 1992.
Bacteriological testing can be the first step in identifying and correcting a problem. The next step is to investigate the cause of any bad samples and perform corrective action, such as disinfecting and flushing the system. When a public water system has both a record of failure to monitor and a history of MCL violations, department staff are concerned about the unknown quality of the drinking water. Failing to monitor can result in ongoing bacteriological problems. Often, informing the public of the system's chronic failure to monitor will prompt a system to routinely submit samples.
The vast majority of community and non-community public water systems in the state comply with all monitoring requirements and meet all drinking water standards. Chronic violators are the exception rather than the rule. There are approximately 2,800 public drinking water systems in Missouri and the number of violators listed is usually less than 1 percent of these.
These systems' owners have been sent multiple violation notices in addition to certified letters informing them that chronic failure to monitor is unacceptable. Department staff also routinely make frequent on-site inspections and attempt to reach an agreement with the responsible parties to ensure sampling requirements will be met. If compliance with Missouri's drinking water law is still refused, more stringent enforcement action is pursued through legal channels.
The type of bacteria monitored is called total coliform bacteria. These are common in the environment and generally not harmful by themselves. They do indicate the water may be contaminated with organisms that can cause disease. Disease symptoms include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, possible jaundice and associated headaches and fatigue. The presence of these bacteria can result from a number of problems. These could be due to an improperly constructed or deteriorating well, inadequate water treatment, or contamination in the distribution system, including water towers and the mains that distribute the water.
If a sample tests positive for total coliform bacteria, further testing is then performed for fecal coliform or E. coli, bacteria which can directly cause gastrointestinal illness. Most samples that test positive for total coliform test negative for fecal coliform or E. coli. The total coliform positive samples that are listed tested negative for fecal coliform or E. coli unless specifically stated otherwise.
Counties with systems listed are presented in alphabetical order. Systems are given in alphabetical order within each county. Unless otherwise noted, these establishments are open year-round. The cities and counties are given as location references only. Counties with a number of systems listed have a large number of public water systems, most of which are in compliance with drinking water regulations.
For more information, contact the department's Water Protection Program, Public Drinking Water Branch at 800-361-4827 or 573-751-5331.

Lawyers: Objecting to Predictive Coding Is Futile
While technology-assisted review isn't for every case, judges are becoming savvy about its advantages.
|4 Comments
Predictive coding is a process where lawyers use technology to help identify documents within a collection that are relevant or privileged. The technology acts as a force-multiplier where the judgment of a senior attorney can be extrapolated to a larger document set using predictive coding technology. If done correctly, predictive coding can do a better job than eyes-on manual review. Like eyes-on manual review, predictive coding can do a poor job if the human judgment driving the predictive analytics is flawed.
The process itself isn't that far off of an email spam filter. About 70 percent of email traffic in the world falls into the spam bucket, i.e., unsolicited commercial emails. Your spam filter learns how to automatically identify these garbage emails through human training. You have likely participated in the rough equivalent of predictive coding in training your spam filter—think of the "this is spam" button you may have clicked in the past.
Most spam filters do a decent job of sorting the wheat from the chaff, although occasionally one or two spam emails make it through the filter. The technology itself is not revolutionary or groundbreaking, but its application in the legal context was new in the not-too-distant past.
Predictive coding does not work well in every case. Graphics, audio and video do not jive well with the technologies I am familiar with (caveat: predictive coding analytics are getting more sophisticated as time progresses and not all tools are created equal). Plus, given the effort it takes to get it right, human eyes may be cheaper in small-document cases. If you have a thousand or so documents in your universe, it is still easiest to just look at them all. But predictive coding is a new default approach in the range of standard options for handling cases with high volumes of text-searchable documents.
Much has been written about the defensibility of the predictive coding process. When predictive coding began to see more widespread use a few years back, litigants occasionally sparred over the use of the technology in lieu of straight eyes-on-every-document review. As Law Technology News wrote in 2011, counsel were "left to wonder if predictive coding meets the standard of 'reasonableness.' [I]t may be just a matter of time before such methodology is as routinely discussed as contract attorneys and keywords are now." Then, the first judicial opinion endorsing the use of predictive coding came in Da Silva Moore v. Publicis Groupe, 287 F.R.D. 102 (S.D.N.Y. 2012). Da Silva Moore was a lengthy and hotly contested case where the court dug deeply into the inner workings of the predictive coding process.
Some say that evolving judicial attitudes toward predictive coding suggest it may be time to retire the defensibility question of the predictive coding process. A recent, and concise, opinion from the Business Litigation Superior Court in Boston indicates the question of defensibility has become a footnote point, literally.
Since Da Silva Moore we have seen a number of concise opinions or excerpts of state court judges accepting the concept of predictive coding as the norm. A Virginia state court endorsed the use of predictive coding, over strenuous objection, in a partially handwritten order in Global Aerospace Inc. v. Landow Aviation, L.P., 2012 Va. Cir. Lexis 50 (Va. Cir. Ct., April 23, 2012).
In the Southern and Northern Districts of New York, Judge Lewis Kaplan and Magistrate Judge Randolph Treece have both cited the availability of predictive coding as part of their analysis in rejecting undue-burden objections to discovery requests. Judge Denise Cote noted in a recent mega-litigation, Federal Housing Finance Agency v. JP Morgan Chase & Co. Inc., that "predictive coding should be given careful consideration in a case like this, and I am absolutely happy to endorse the use of predictive coding and to require that it be used as part of the discovery tools available to the parties."
The evolving attitude seems to be that predictive coding is presumptively reasonable—a presumption that the human eye and brain (perhaps undeservedly) currently enjoy. The majority of our judiciary has proved aware, at least conceptually, of predictive coding and its potential application in litigation.
Associate Justice Thomas Billings' decision from the Business Litigation Superior Court in Boston is another concise state court opinion addressing the use of predictive coding, in the vein of Global Aerospace. The decision is short, coming in at barely two double-spaced pages. It notes, in the only footnote, that "The Court has already approved, in principle, the use of predictive coding to accomplish this task." This is likely the first instance predictive coding has been allowed in Boston's business litigation section, but it is more significant in the implicit acceptance of the process drawn from its brevity.
What's being said
While courts are becoming more accepting of predictive coding as a concept, its use on a given matter is still subject to legal, procedural, technical, and strategic hurdles. As repeated surveys have demonstrated, predictive coding is still rarely used for "predictive coding". The uncertainty and risk associated with the preseent immaturity of predictive coding methodologies have kept this technology largely limited to filtering and QC.
The potential challenges to the use of predictive coding on a given case are both lengthy and substantive. As someone who has worked to encourage the adoption of advanced decision analytics and optimization in other industries, I've found that acknowledging technical and procedural issues and addressing them directly through methodology is the best approach to accelerate its acceptance. To imply that predictive coding is "mainstream" or applicable to cases involving as few as 10,000 documents leads to unsustainable expectations and industry backlash.
What exactly are judges becoming "savvy" about? There is no mention of judges sitting with programmers or developers. They are just becoming more accepting. I recently sat in a discussion where a judge described how decisions had been made regarding predictive coding thresholds in one of his cases soley using F1, then one of the statisticians that developed F1 told him they had used it incorrectly. Does that sound like "savvy"?
But it is also fervent to be "absolutely happy to endorse…predictive coding" and to "require it be used" when it is only described as "a process."
Yes, it is futile to discuss objecting to Predictive Coding when it is only described as "a process."

How to Get Hired at a Killer Startup
Don't be afraid to be bold.
CEO of 2tor, John Katzman, a legendary entrepreneur who also founded the Princeton Review, gave us a little insight on the people he hires for his company. He instilled a "No Asshole" policy, which means exactly like it sounds: Their company doesn't hire assholes. They encourage employees to be kind to each other and look out for each other. They don't trade competence for character because they want people with both.
[See The 50 Best Careers of 2011.]
For a company that's just over three years old with nearly 350 employees in multiple offices around the world, they must be doing something right.
"We often rely on our own employees and their personal networks to find potential hires and have found it's the best method as we have a wonderfully unique work culture at the company," Katzman says.
Jeremy Johnson, chief marketing officer at 2tor, also provided tips on getting hired at an awesome startup:
Be bold. Be comfortable reaching out directly. Entrepreneurs who start companies appreciate guile and the ability to communicate in a straightforward manner. Being direct also demonstrates assertiveness and initiative.

Do your research. Beyond understanding what may be the most obvious function of the company, dig further. Try to understand what the company's mission is. Gain an understanding of its market, what the competition is, and how they differentiate themselves. Rather than simply browsing a company's website, consider reviewing news articles on the company for more insights. Failing to prepare is really preparing to fail.
Mine your loose connections. Use LinkedIn to find a few people connected both directly and indirectly to the company you are interested in, and request introductions. Being introduced through someone who is already trusted will give you a leg up. Personal references mean more than a resume.

Get excited. Showing passion for the company and its industry is a great way to show a potentially picky interviewer you have something extra to offer and you're not only looking for a paycheck. Let your enthusiasm, personal interest, and curiosity about the field shine through.

Using Android Devices for Genealogy
Half of all smartphone users have an Android device with strong growth while iPhone marketshare growth is flat at 0.2% and all other Mobile OS losing market share. Projections are that Android market share will continue to increase and more people will use mobile devices for what have been traditional desktop applications. Mobile apps are becoming more abundant and richer in features. Mobile apps are also typically less expensive than desktop applications. Android phones and tablets as well as other mobile devices are better suited for genealogy and family history activities than traditional desktop or even laptop computers. The mobile capabilities allow an Android phone to be more easily carried on research field trips. The built in GPS (Global Positioning System) allows for locations such as headstones in a cemetery and even book shelves in a library can be accurately documented. Wireless data services allow internet searching, emails, and even uploading of images and video from almost everywhere.

We caught them red-handed drinking beer after beer after beer. Now, two postal workers who were the subjects of a Fox 29 Investigates report in January want their jobs back.
And they're turning to their union for help.
Fox 29 Investigates has learned Postal Carriers Union, Branch 157, which represents Mount Airy carriers Rudy Gray and Melvin Ingram, has filed grievances on their behalf.
Both men were placed on unpaid administrative leave following our report that showed them drinking beer in a Mount Airy tavern while on duty and later driving their postal service vehicles.
The union is also grieving management on behalf of a third unidentified worker who was also placed on leave for allegedly drinking at the bar. All three carriers worked out of Germantown station on Greene Street.
During our investigation, we also saw Gray and Ingram use scanners while drinking at the bar. The postal service told us they believed the men had copies of barcodes that are normally positioned along their routes and were scanning them to make it look like they were on the job.
The Inspector General's Office of the U.S. Postal Service launched an investigation after our report. Fox 29 Investigates has learned their probe wrapped up last week and it completely backs up what we reported.
We've also learned the three carriers could face disciplinary action, including, and up to being fired.
Calls to the union for comment were not returned, Fox 29's Jeff Cole reported.

Beauty >East Town Spa and Salon/Reagan & Ruby
718 E Wells St 915 E Brady St, Milwaukee, WI | Directions 5320243.052887 -87.900301
Mon 12:00 PM to 8:00 PMTue 10:00 AM to 9:00 PMWed 10:00 AM to 9:00 PMThu 10:00 AM to 9:00 PMFri 10:00 AM to 9:00 PMSat 9:00 AM to 4:00 PMSun 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
I also created an account here in an attempt to get the word out about this crummy place (as well as report them the WI State Health Dept.). Called in advance to schedule an appointment for a friend of mine and myself to get a mani/pedi together. The receptionist demanded we pay, over the phone, at the time of scheduling - never done that before for a nail salon and was a bit leery, but did so regardless. Upon arrival, the 2 ladies behind the counter barely glanced at us and we had to stand at the counter staring at them until they looked up and finally said "oh, hi, do you have an appointment?". We waited 15 minutes and were shuffled to this tiny back room where we had to leave our purses, coats, and shoes unattended, on the floor (it's winter in WI there's slush and salt all over everyone's floors). We weren't able to sit by each other during the mani/pedi - which was kind of the point in scheduling us both at the same time (you know, hang out, girl time, chat and catch-up). Both of our manicurists talked non-stop about their personal lives and some other rather inappropriate conversation topics that made sitting there rather awkward. Took almost 2 hours for both of us. Nearing the end of my manicure, this tiny back room started filling with customers who had no where to go or put their things and were just standing around the nail tech tables, again, awkwardly. Then my manicurist started rushing (apologizing, but saying she "really needed to get her next client in the chair") and promoting he hair cutting services. Upon finishing my manicure, I was waved off to sit in a hair stylists chair until my poorly painted nails dried on their own. This took an additional 30 minutes, because (for whatever reason) my nail tech put nail repair gel on as a base coat. So the actual experience of going there was terrible. Fast forward 36 hours, my nail polish completely peeled off from every nail in layers (damaging my nails beyond repair until they grew out) and both my friend and I got skin infections. Seriously, no doubt, by far the grossest, most inappropriate nail salon I've ever been to and they have the audacity to call themselves a "spa". Anywhere else is better, really.
My time at East Town Spa has been nothing but enjoyable. The staff has always been kind and attentive and I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or family members looking for a place to relax and be pampered!
I created an account here so I could help steer people clear of this awful establishment.
My friend and I dropped in for impromptu pedicures. It ended with me hobbling through downtown with no shoes on and polish that only lasted 5 minutes before it was ruined.
I emailed and detailed our awful experience to the salon. No one responded. I posted pics of my messed up nails to their FB page and finally got a call. She explained they would refund $12, the cost of the polish. I felt that wasn't fair since I had paid more than three times that amount and had the expectation it would last a couple of weeks. She checked with 'the boss' and left me a cheery voicemail explaining "they would refund the $12," and to let her know, "if I had more questions...m'kay?!"
To nickel and dime an unhappy customer is just terribly bad business. There are so many other great salons in Milwaukee. Don't waste your time or money here.
I have been going to this salon for a few years and love the facility. The beautician/hair stylist I see is Joslyn and she is amazing. I have been seeing her for over ten years because she is a great person, excels at her profession and keeps educated on all the new techniques. I have now started a new generation by bringing my 4 year old to see Joslyn as well. We love "mommy-daughter day" when we can go visit Joslyn in the PINK HOUSE that is East Town Spa!
This is the best salon! My mom goes here and she brought me here to get my hair done and i absolutely loved the way that Joslyn did my hair. I recommend too all people that you go to this salon!
I purchased a groupon for East town spa. I didn't know what to expect but I was impressed beyond belief. Rachel gave me a facial and it was by far the best I have ever recieved. Customer service was excellent. I loved the products and most impressive is the atmosphere. I definately will return.
The best Hair Salon in Milwaukee! I have been a client of Joslyn's for 11 years now and will continue to be forever. The products used in my hair are amazing! I always get done to my hair exactly what I ask for, and never leave unhappy. The customer service is great, the rewards program they have is the best and the products are always available when needed, and at a reasonable price. I have referred many friends and family to East Town Spa and will continue to do so.
Great Shellac Manicure – I LOVE Shellac manicures and was having trouble finding a spa in my neighborhood (downtown/lower east side) that offered them. I had procrastinated, as usual, to get one done for my engagement photos. I needed one asap! The day before, driving east on Wells, I noticed a building being painted a pretty pink color, and for the first time noticed the East Town Spa. I called with my short-notice request, and the receptionist was friendly and accommodating. I was able to get in the next day at the exact time I needed!
The service itself was lovely. The spa was clean and organized and I felt relaxed throughout the service. Boobi-Jo was my nail technician. She was friendly and very skilled at her job. It was one of my best Shellac manicures ever!
I will definitely return to East Town Spa for another Shellac manicure and will try their other services as well!
Couples Massage – My husband and I had our first daughter this past Jan. (2011) thought it would be great to get a couples massage last March after calling place after place i finally found east town spa who did couples massages! First off the receptionist was very nice she took our coats asked if we wanted something to drink and was super friendly. We purchased a 60 min. massage thinking that we would get a 60 min. massage especially for the expensive price! nope our appointment started over 5 min. late and ended 10min. early... now to me that's not right.... for 190.... and getting a 45min. massage. The second most diappointing was that you could hear the salon music through the whole massage! Last annoying part is they only did one side of your body and no foot massage... i guess i'm just used to massage places up north where a 60min. massage means 60min. and quiet and works our all the kinks in your body and the "spa" experience.. i guess i just have to say that i will not be returning to East Town Spa in Milwaukee
Finally Found a New "Home"- Amazing Talent & People! – After 5 years @ my former 3rd Ward salon, I needed a real change! I researched & tried 2 of the city's "hot spot" salons only to be greatly disappointed by the creativity of the cuts or by the stylists themselves (or both). After reading about the East Town Spa, I am so happy to finally find a new "HOME"!!! Have had both cuts & color treatment by both Liza & Dana and am hooked! To me, the true sign of a great stylist is when you can discuss your needs & then let them just do their hair "thing"! Every time I get a cut done, I get TONS of compliments & always feel great! Also, everyone on their staff from the receptionist to the owner is always friendly & professional. Prices are reasonable & they always have great specials too! So happy to have found them!

Navigating restaurant menus can be tricky, especially for people with COPD. You know that small portions are less likely to cause shortness of breath, but restaurant servings can be huge. You also need nutrients to fight off infections, maintain a healthy weight, and provide energy for hard-working respiratory muscles, so it's important to choose healthy foods.
Here are some tips for making restaurant meals work for you:
Go early before the crowds hit so that you won't feel rushed. When you are relaxed during a meal, you are less likely to accidentally swallow air, which leads to discomfort.
Restaurant servings are often too big, so plan to take half of your entrée home with you.
Choose a good source of protein, such as chicken, fish, cottage cheese, or lean meat. You need protein to support your muscles.
If you are trying to gain weight, it's OK to have a little extra fat from margarine, gravy, cheese, or cream sauce. If you are trying to lose weight, go easy on these extras.
Ask that your food be prepared without salt. Too much sodium causes fluid retention, making breathing more difficult and may raise blood pressure.
If you suffer from heartburn, avoid caffeine, alcohol, spicy and acidic foods, and foods high in fat.
For extra nutrition, order milk or juice instead of soft drinks, which can cause bloating and gas.
- If you have room for dessert, skip the gooey sweets. More nutrient-rich choices are fresh fruit, frozen yogurt, or fruit cobbler.
Now, pull up a chair and enjoy!

Diving into the fashion of Mad Men may seem a tired topic at this point, as the show rumbles into its final season. We've seen analysis of the clothing from stylistic, historical, and philosophical angles, and it would seem there'd be little left to say. Even the "Don is not a style icon; he's a style dinosaur" approach that looks at how the coolest man in the room became a square was made overly obvious in the season seven premiere, when Don Draper arrives in L.A. looking more like the fabulous Megan Draper's dad than her slick New York husband. Luckily for those of us who obsess about both television and style, however, Mad Men is a show with a deep roster of characters and things to say. Which is why I want to take a little time out to talk about the show's worst-dressed character, and the one with whom I most closely identify: Michael Ginsberg. Continue reading…

K-Dramas And Life Lessons
Every year in April, the Gutter editors like to mix it up a little. This month, Romance editor Chris Szego talks about Korean television dramas. Wheeee!
Last April, I wrote about my first foray into anime. I had a great time with it, and my successful venture had a of couple unintended side-effects. For one thing, I enjoyed that first series so much that I tried another, then another, then many more (which led to me finally figuring out how to make Netflix play it in Japanese. Hurrah, technological success!). And then, when my choices narrowed down to only shows I didn't want to watch, I began to read manga instead. Continue reading…

Forget the consequences, just get me
a sandwich
Over the past several months I've been working my way through all of Pendleton Ward's Adventure Time, in part because it comes in 11 minute segments that are easy to squeeze into tiny cracks of spare time, but mostly because it's awesome. There are lots of things to love about it – the humor, the weirdness, the clever allusions to art and literature – but I think the thing I enjoy most is how creatively they play with narrative. Watching all of the ideas they're able to explore by ignoring the usual boundaries of time, space and consequences makes me realize how limiting conventions can be. Continue reading…

Black Napoleon's Throne Of Satan
This week, Guest Star David Foster writes about how an Australian pulp thriller is altered when it was published in the United States as part of the Mysterious Order of the Skeleton Suit's Swapathon. Comics Editor Carol will be back in April.
There are many elements that made up the counter culture movement of the Sixties and Seventies. One of the most important of these elements was the Civil Rights Movement, whose aim was equality no matter what race, colour, creed or religion. While that fight continues to this day, in early 1967 a story was released that showcased the changing social values the civil rights movement had brought about.
In Australia, that story was released as Black Napoleon, penned by veteran Australian author J.E. Macdonnell. Macdonnell already had a substantial following with his numerous navy action books, but the sixties spy boom saw him scribing a series of espionage titles featuring an agent for Intertrust, Mark Hood. Black Napoleon (Horwitz Publications) was the seventh title in the Hood series. Continue reading…
