Welcome to the Cobell v. Salazar Settlement Website
A Letter from Class Counsel
Concerns have recently been expressed that the second payments under the Cobell settlement – the Trust Administration payments – have not yet been distributed. Please be assured that the Court, the Claims Administrator and Class Counsel are taking all measures necessary to make sure those payments are distributed as quickly as possible consistent with the terms of the settlement.
In particular, frustration has been expressed with the Claims Administrator, the Garden City Group ("GCG"), suggesting it is responsible for the payments not having been mailed. GCG, just like the parties, is required to follow the terms of the Settlement Agreement approved by Congress and the Court, including the timeline set forth in that agreement for mailing of Trust Administration Class payments. At this point, not all requirements imposed by that agreement for mailing of the Trust Administration payments have been satisfied.
Unfortunately, implementation of the settlement was delayed for a year while Congress considered it and almost another year and a half while four individuals appealed the District Court's order approving it. These were matters over which we had no control. However, once the appeals expired in late November 2012, we worked with the District Court and GCG to make sure that distribution of the Historical Accounting payments, commenced within 30 days. In fact, GCG was able to commence distribution in three weeks after receipt of the final data for distribution.
Unlike the Historical Accounting Class payments, under the terms of the Settlement Agreement as approved by Congress and the Courts, the Trust Administration payments could not be distributed immediately after the expiration of the appeals. Instead, these payments can be made only after all Trust Administration Class members have been identified. This was due to the fact that, in many cases, the Department of Interior had no record of trust beneficiaries on its electronic systems, requiring they self-identify.
Therefore, in order to make sure that everyone who was eligible had an opportunity to participate in the settlement, the Settlement Agreement provided additional procedures for identifying Trust Administration Class Members. These procedures included a Supplementary Notice to Trust Administration Class members that commenced shortly after the appeals expired, along with a claim filing and review process. All claims were to be submitted by March 1, 2013.
During the claims process, there were concerns expressed by class members in Oklahoma who were experiencing difficulties obtaining records to support their claims due to the absence of those records on Interior's systems and the devastating tornados that affected much of the state. Therefore, the claims process was extended by the Court to make sure that these individuals had an opportunity to participate. As ordered by the Court, claimants had until September 4, 2013 to request an appeal of a claim denial to the Special Master appointed by the Court.
The claims process was successful as over 485,000 claims were filed. All of those claims were reviewed and timely determinations made by GCG. Over 2,400 appeals from those decisions, many several hundred pages in length, are being carefully considered by the Special Master. As provided for in the Settlement Agreement, once all Trust Administration Class members are substantially identified and the Department of Interior has calculated the pro rata share of the settlement to which each Trust Administration Class member is entitled, we will promptly request that the Court approve the Trust Administration payments. We can't predict with certainty when these matters will be completed enabling us to request payment from the Court. However, we will provide continual updates as new information becomes available to keep you advised of the status of those payments.
Meanwhile, we continue to work with the Court and GCG to ensure the settlement is administered in accordance with the highest standards. When the Cobell case settled, we inherited the Department of Interior's records of individual Indian beneficiaries – including the many inaccuracies known to exist within those records. However, a commitment was made that the Cobell settlement would not suffer from the deficiencies that historically afflicted the Indian trust system – in particular that everyone who was eligible to participate in the settlement would have an opportunity to do so. Individual Indian trust records have markedly improved as a result of the Cobell lawsuit. However, problems remain. Delays in, or the absence of, probates have resulted in individuals who had passed away remaining on the list of living trust beneficiaries. Multiple records often exist for a single beneficiary. The Department of Interior still does not know the identity of some trust beneficiaries and current contact information was not available for tens of thousands of known beneficiaries.
We continue to work through these issues. By way of example, to date, through extensive outreach and working directly with tribal governments and GCG, we have been able to locate over half of the 65,000 individuals on the government's "whereabouts unknown" list published by the Office of the Special Trustee, to insure they receive their settlement funds. Thousands more continue to contact us each month. This has been a serious deficiency that has plagued the individual Indian trust since its inception. We are committed to make sure that it does not continue.
If you have contact information for anyone on the government's "whereabouts unknown" list, please contact the Claims Administrator at 866-591-2958.
Once again, please be assured that we are doing everything we can to make sure all class members receive their payments as soon as possible. We understand the frustrations experienced over the timing of payments. Many beneficiaries are in great need of these funds and we will continue to do everything we can to make sure the payments go out as soon as possible.
You are welcome to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 866-383-6554 if you have any questions at all.

Interior Announces First Transfer from Land Buy-Back Program to Cobell Education Fund
Initial transfer of nearly $580,000 will fund scholarship opportunities for American Indian and Alaska Native students
For information about the Cobell Scholarship Program, how to apply for a scholarship, or to provide comment about disbursement polices for the Cobell Board of Trustees, go to www.collegefund.org/Cobell.
Whereabouts Unknown: Help Locate Your Record
At this time there are over 30,000 accounts where the Government's records do not reflect the current contact information of the owner. During the first distribution, eligible payments were deposited directly into a class member's IIM Account. If you believe you or a family member may hold a Whereabouts Unknown account, please help identify the owner and their current address so that future payments may be made directly to the account holder.
The Garden City Group, the claims administrator for the Cobell Settlement, has recently learned that individuals representing themselves to be associated with the Cobell Settlement have contacted one or more class members and sought to obtain bank account information. Please be advised that these individuals are not acting on behalf of the Cobell Settlement. No one associated with the Cobell Settlement will ever request that you provide information regarding your personal bank account. Therefore, please be careful about releasing your bank account numbers to others.
If you receive a call requesting such information or if you are concerned about a call you receive, please write down the phone number and contact the Garden City Group at 1-800-961-6109 or David Smith and Bill Dorris, Class Counsel, at 1-866-383-6554.
Important Update: Trust Administration Class payments are expected to be mailed in 2014.
The Settlement Agreement approved by Congress and the Courts requires identification of all Trust Administration Class Members and calculation of their respective pro rata shares before the Claims Administrator for the Cobell Settlement can mail Trust Administration Class payments. That work is ongoing and is nearly complete.
After the membership of the Trust Administration Class is finalized, it will take approximately a month to complete the calculations for the over 500,000 Trust Administration Class Members. Once the Claims Administrator receives those calculations and the Court approves the Second Stage Distribution, the Claims Administrator will quickly prepare and commence distribution within three weeks.
Please be assured that all parties are doing everything possible to issue the Trust Administration payments as soon as possible. Any questions can be directed to the below:

The parties' agreements in this case provide that, subject to the Court's approval, up to $12 million of the settlement funds may be used to pay for Class Counsel's post-settlement fees and expenses. On September 10, 2013, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking the Court's approval to pay Class Counsel $11.25 million in post-settlement fees and expenses relating to work performed from December 8, 2009 through June 30, 2013. The motion states that Class Counsel incurred more than $12.8 million in fees and expenses during those 43 months. The amount requested in the motion reflects the $12 million cap on post-settlement attorneys' fees and expenses, and that there is additional work required of Class Counsel to complete the distribution.
The motion and supporting affidavits can be read by clicking here.
Class Members may object to the requested payment to Class Counsel. All objections must be in writing and filed with the Court no later than Thursday, October 10, 2013. All written objections should refer to "Cobell v. Jewell, Case No. 96-1285." The Court's address for filing is:
Clerk's Office
United States District Court
for the District of Columbia
333 Constitution Avenue N.W.
Washington, DC 20001
On August 1, 2013, the Claims Administrator mailed letters detailing its second determination of eligibility to all persons who filed a request for reconsideration. For further information please refer to the FAQ's on Determination Letters and Eligibility Documentation.
On July 16, 2013, the Special Master authorized additional procedures for payment of Settlement Funds to deceased Class Members' heirs.
The Honorable Richard A. Levie (Ret.), appointed as Special Master by the Court in December 2012 to oversee distribution of settlement funds to individual Class Members in the Cobell v. Salazar lawsuit, has approved the use of additional procedures for payment to the estates and heirs of deceased Class Members. In Orders issued on July 16, the Special Master authorized GCG to use in some cases federal probate orders and (in identified states) state law procedures for the distribution of small estates to the heirs of deceased class members, where there is no probated will that addresses the distribution of settlement funds, no state or tribal probate order identifying the heirs, and no legally-appointed executor or administrator. You can review the Orders and Motions on this website under the Court Documents tab.
New Trust Administration Class Deadlines:
On April 9, 2013, the Court approved Plaintiffs' Unopposed Motion to Modify Aspects of Class Action Administration and filed an Order Granting Motion to Modify Aspects of Class Action Administration which extends certain deadlines as listed below, authorizes claims postmarked by March 30, 2013 to be accepted as timely, directs the Claims Administrator to pay amounts otherwise due Class Members to holders of valid claims of lien or to lawfully appointed bankruptcy trustees, and authorizes the Special Master to hire and pay staff.
Updated deadlines for claimants who submitted claims in connection with the Trust Administration Class:
- May 1, 2013 – The Claims Administrator mailed letters detailing the initial determination of eligibility to all persons who filed a timely claim.
- July 1, 2013 – Written requests for reconsideration must have been postmarked July 1 and sent with all supporting documentation to the Claims Administrator.
- August 1, 2013 – The Claims Administrator mailed letters to any requests for reconsideration with a second determination of eligibility.
- September 4, 2013 – Written requests to appeal the second determination of class eligibility must be postmarked and sent to the Claims Administrator.
- Appeals will be reviewed by the Special Master, the Honorable Richard Levie (Ret.), who was appointed by the Court on December 19, 2012.
Historical Accounting Class
The Historical Accounting Class distribution has been very successful. Over 99% of all living Historical Accounting Class Member payments have been distributed.
Two principal challenges remain with respect to distribution of remaining Historical Accounting Class checks.
- Estates. There are approximately 38,500 deceased Class Members with awards that have not yet been distributed. The Court and Special Master have ordered that the Claims Administrator may issue payments to estates where acceptable documentation has been submitted, such as:
- A state or tribal probate order identifying the heirs to the estate;
- Documentation such as a court order or a properly executed will showing the appointment of an Executor, Administrator or Personal Representative of the Estate;
- A Last Will and Testament that has been approved through a probate order;
- A small estate document from an approved state where the estate is in accordance with that state's small estate procedures;
- The approved states are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
- A federal probate order that directs distribution of trust funds or trust lands.
- Whereabouts Unknown. Some checks have not been distributed due to insufficient addresses for Class Members. If you have not received a check and are a member of the Historical Accounting Class, please contact the Claims Administrator and provide a current address. OST maintains a list of those beneficiaries who are considered "whereabouts unknown." A copy of that list can be found at http://www.doi.gov/ost/wau/index.cfm.
If you have questions about the Settlement, please be sure to review the Detailed Notice or Settlement Agreement which provide more detailed information and Class eligibility definitions.
This website will be updated as more information becomes available. Please check back periodically for important updates regarding the Settlement.

BV Buddies
BV Buddies-TeamMates is a mentoring program pairing middle school students with BVU students. This program is connected to the Storm Lake School Districts program TeamMates in conjunction with the national program. The focus of the program is to create positive, mentoring relationships between Buena Vista University students and fifth through eighth grade middle school students in the form of community service. Many of the middle school students are "at-risk" students which we would rather refer to as "on the brink of success". We meet an hour a week with our mentees in which we engage in positive activities such as helping with homework, arts and crafts, cooking, games, and sporting activities. Along with weekly activities, we go on field trips twice a year to build relationships and experience opportunities they may not be able to on their own.

We are pleased to announce Films of City Frames, Giorgio Armani's initiative to connect with the world of cinema through the rich fictional universe built around Frames of Life.
This is a comprehensive joint project, created in collaboration with Rai Cinema, which involves the most promising students of six prestigious international film schools. The students will be given the task of creating short films that feature caught moments, metropolitan landscapes, and emotional situations, using Giorgio Armani's new Frames of Life eyewear as a perceptual filter. Eyewear becomes synonymous with point of view, an instrument used to emphasise and express feelings, to tell stories of special encounters and urban adventures.
Paolo Sorrentino, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Academy Award-winning director , has enthusiastically joined this initiative to support young talent. To create the pilot film that will launch the project, Sorrentino has chosen Piero Messina, who graduated from the Italian Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and works as his assistant director. The young director has produced an emotional, lyrical short film using unseen sequences from Sorrentino's The Great Beauty.
Giorgio Armani says, "I felt that Paolo would be the best person to share this project with. He has a clear and inspiring view of reality; he captures the most exciting and poetic aspects of everyday life with a neat, contemporary style. Above all, I think that Paolo embodies the real magic of cinema, which is a barrier-free language: he speaks to everyone, but with an undeniably Italian eye. And this is precisely what we wanted students to grasp: the importance of having a personal perspective."
The stages of production of these short films will be documented on a dedicated section on the website www.framesoflife.com and shared on Armani's social media channels. Films of City Frames will be a visual and narrative collage that captures the growing wealth of the contemporary metropolis without stereotyping it, using individual points of view as a filter and to create work that possesses distinctive character.

Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sheila Campbell Forrester is highlighting the need for an increased focus on the health of pregnant women especially in light of the expectation of a second wave of the Influenza A(H1N1) virus. Pregnant women are among the persons who fall within the high risk for complications from Influenza A(H1N1) that can lead to death.
Dr. Campbell Forrester, who was speaking at the Victoria Jubilee Hospital Symposium on Sunday, October 11, 2009, held at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel under the theme: "Saving Mothers…Protecting the Future", said clinicians and specialists need to be more vigilant at this time and keep Influenza A(H1N1) in mind when a pregnant woman visits health facilities.
The Ministry of Health is reporting that another patient who was confirmed with the Influenza A(H1N1) virus has died bringing the total number of deaths to five (5). The patient who was within the high risk group died as a result of developing respiratory complications.
The Ministry of Health is urging continued vigilance by members of the public and is encouraging individuals to observe proper hygiene practices to protect themselves from Influenza A(H1N1) infection. The World Health Organization warns that there may be a second wave of the disease and therefore an increase in the number of cases is expected. Individuals should continue to wash hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer and cover the mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing.
The Ministry of Health is reminding school officials to ensure that they are familiar with the prescribed guidelines that have been drafted to advise them about the management and monitoring of Influenza like illnesses in their institutions. The guidelines are available through the Ministry of Education and can also be accessed on the Health Ministry's website at www.moh.gov.jm/general/publication.
The Ministry of Health is encouraging parents not to send children to school if they have flu-like symptoms. These symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, cough and runny or stuffy nose. However, if the symptoms persist or get worse, then the child should be taken to the nearest health facility. Parents should note that if their child falls within the high risk group for complications from Influenza A(H1N1), then they should contact their healthcare provider immediately. The high risk group includes children under five years old, persons with chronic illnesses including obesity, asthma, diabetes and hypertension and pregnant women.
The Ministry of Health continues to urge persons to observe the recommended precautions to help to reduce the spread of Influenza A(H1N1). These include washing hands frequently with soap and water or using an alcohol based hand sanitizer and covering mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing. The Ministry is reporting that an additional nine (9) confirmed cases were detected late last week, bringing the total to ninety eight (98) confirmed cases in the island.

Brian Reyes - New York Fall 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Brian Reyes showed a grown-up collection that even Hollywood starlets (like Rachel Bilson, who graced his front row) will love--no easy feat for a relatively young designer. Pleated car coats, pencil skirts and ladylike blouses in subtle prints were the more prim (but not stuffy) side of the collection, while a draped Dutch blue dress with a front cutout kept it young and sexy. Though the pointy Manolo pumps may have been an issue for the models (three girls stopped and took them off mid-runway; all the girls walked barefoot for the finale), Reyes staples like chic cocktail dresses, slouchy yet polished separates, and a series of lovely evening looks were more than enough to make up for it.

- customer reviews
One night, Clara finds herself driven to commit a shocking—and disturbingly satisfying—act of violence, and her parents are forced to explain their history of shadows and lies. A police investigation is launched that uncovers a richness of vampire history heretofore unknown to the general public. And when the malevolent and alluring Uncle Will, a practicing vampire, arrives to throw the police off Clara's trail, he winds up throwing the whole house into temptation and turmoil and unleashing a host of dark secrets that threaten the Radleys' marriage.
The Radleys is a moving, thrilling, and radiant domestic novel that explores with daring the lengths a parent will go to protect a child, what it costs you to deny your identity, the undeniable appeal of sin, and the everlasting, iridescent bonds of family love. Read it and ask what we grow into when we grow up, and what we gain—and lose—when we deny our appetites.

Read an Excerpt
It is a quiet place, especially at night.
Too quiet, you'd be entitled to think, for any kind of monster to live among its pretty, tree-shaded lanes.
Indeed, at three o'clock in the morning in the village of Bishopthorpe, it is easy to believe the lie indulged in by its residents—that it is a place for good and quiet people to live good and quiet lives.
At this hour, the only sounds to be heard are those made by nature itself. The hoot of an owl, the faraway bark of a dog, or, on a breezy night like this one, the wind's obscure whisper through the sycamore trees. Even if you... see more

FORTUNE -- Anyone remember the "Free Agent Nation"? Daniel Pink's 1997 Fast Company article heralded a bright future in which the skilled workforce bounced from project by project, unchained from a desk or any one particular company. Fifteen years later and in a different economy, "necessity entrepreneurs" using contracted work as a stopgap measure have joined the happily self-employed. The sheen of free agency has tarnished in the meantime.
Whether the numbers of independent contractors swell or contract, however, I'm surprised how little attention has been paid to what effect these agents can have on the culture of the companies that contract for their services. But I didn't see much of a problem until I began working with large, capital-C corporate firms.
In my mind, the business of being the creative type who swooped into the conference room -- hair messy and altogether more casual -- who then retreated to work hard (and unseen) on the contracted deliverables, seemed ideal. It also seemed like a fair trade; the talent brought on short-term got to work with big corporate budgets, while permanent staffers got new faces to look at and a change of pace.
MORE: Telecommuting: Lower pay, but fewer annoying colleagues
Any hopes I had that the freelancer could help change some of corporate America's pointless and counterproductive mores were quickly dashed, however. Nowhere did those mores pinch more than when it came to what a colleague once dubbed "gestation mode."
Gestation mode is the fallow period between versions of a deliverable/prototype/piece of content. The basic idea is that creative output requires rest between drafts, and this resting period can't be skipped if one wants the work done well. Writers are notorious for asserting the importance of time-outs: you write for a while, then you do the dishes, then revise. Or, more likely, you read what you wrote, decide it's garbage, so take a long walk, and return to it four hours later.
In a piece for The Believer, novelist Zadie Smith pushed the time frame further out. Her advice for anyone who'd finished a novel was, "put it in a drawer. For as long as you can manage. A year or more is ideal." In order to judge the work, one needed to see it objectively. Achieving that psychological distance takes time. A long time. More

By an overwhelming majority approval, NFL teams voted 28-4 to change the way overtime is played out in the postseason. The moved finally makes the game's outcome less dependant on the fateful overtime coin flip. Here's how the new rule works: If the team that has the first possession of the ball in overtime scores a touchdown, the game is over. But if it must go for a field goal, the other team would then get possession and would win if it scores a touchdown. If no team scores on their first drives of overtime, or if both teams kick field goals, the game will then be sudden death.
For as long as I can remember, the discussion of the sudden death overtime rule has gone on and on, yet in reality, it has gone nowhere until now. Rule-change ideas have gone everywhere from allowing both teams one possession of the ball no matter what happens to college-style overtime rules where both offenses get the ball on the 25-yard-line, to be repeated over and over until one offense outdoes the other. All of these ideas aren't perfect but anything is better than putting a season on the line with one toss of a coin.
In all my narrow-mindedness I hadn't thought of the current form of the rule change and, frankly, what is there not to like about it?
I know football traditionalists are going to stand up on their soapbox and say this rule change will completely change football strategy if overtime is reached during a postseason game. Yes, teams are now going to have to go for it on a fourth and two in overtime, depending on how their defense has been playing. It will be so important for the winner of the coin toss to put it into the end zone, while on the defense side of the ball, teams are going to have to suck it up and D-up.
The strategy will change. Teams are going to have to be gutsier and play to win rather than winning a coin toss, getting a first down or two and then leaving it to the lonely kicker to win. Call me crazy but I would rather see games ended on touchdown drives than field goals. Wouldn't you?
According to The New York Times, the NFL has had 14 overtime playoff games in the last 16 years, with the team that won the toss going 7-7. In regular season games from 1974 to 1993, teams that won the toss won the game 46.8 percent of the time and teams that lost it won the same 46.8 percent of the time. Those statistics didn't lie. Winning the coin toss didn't hand you a victory. Things would change though.
In 1994, according to The Times, the spot of the kickoff was moved to the 30-yard line from the 35, allowing for longer returns that put the receiving team into field-goal range with just a few plays or a long penalty (how many times have we seen this?). Since then, the team that won the toss won 59.8 percent of the time, because even if it did not win on the first possession, it often controlled field position. The team that lost the toss won just 38.4 percent of the time. And before the kickoff was moved, teams won with a field goal on the opening possession just 17.9 percent of the time. After the kickoff moved, it rose to 26.8 percent of the time. Those numbers don't lie either. Winning a coin toss and receiving a kickoff from the 35 is certainly an advantage.
Team owners got it right when they supported the rule change, and that support (28-4) shows that regular season game overtime rules could soon see the change as well. It is interesting that one the four teams that didn't vote in favor of the rule change was Minnesota, which lost the NFC Championship last year after the Saints won the overtime coin toss and kicked a winning field goal on its opening drive…and this was after one or two questionable penalties too, if I remember right.
What I have heard in countless hours of sports talk radio the past few days is that many NFL coaches don't like the rule change because they have to learn a whole new set of rule strategies for overtimes and when faced with that situation, will be prone to a lot of second-guessing. Well, I am afraid that is what they are getting paid to do.
For fans, the rule change will only bring more dramatic finishes to playoff games. Having your team's season go down the tube in a conference championship game to a field goal kicker, possibly after a questionable penalty, is like watching a five-hour NASCAR race that ends in a caution. It just sucks. I can't wait to see this rule change play out. Unfortunately, it's March and we all have a while to wait.

12/02/2012 - ''During the 2010-11 school year, school districts nationwide closed 1,069 traditional public schools, uprooting nearly 280,000 students, according to data compiled for The Wall Street Journal by the National Center for Education Statistics, the primary federal entity for national school data. That was up from 717 closings affecting 193,000 students in 2000-01, according to the data, which don't include specialized schools, such as those for special-education students. Even charters aren't immune. In 2010-11, 128 charter schools were closed, compared with 44 in 2000-01, the data show. This past week, the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, a nonprofit group that represents government and other entities that approve charter-school applications, called on its members to close hundreds of poor-performing charters and urged new state laws to improve accountability. The group said at least 900 of the nation's 6,000 charters, which also receive private donations, post test scores that land them in the bottom 15% of all schools in their states.''...Closing schools doesn't necessarily yield a financial windfall, because teachers often are shuffled to other schools and vacant school buildings are tough to unload, according to a 2011 study by Pew Charitable Trusts' Philadelphia Research Initiative. 'There is nothing easy about closing schools and it is extremely difficult to find productive uses for the buildings,' said Emily Dowdall, a senior researcher at Pew.''

How design professionals, contractors can limit risk and liability
Just when the construction industry was about to emerge from the doldrums, a series of game-changing events has raised the stakes for some of its major participants. Design professionals and contractors face increased risk and liability following the introduction of new design standards and several precedent-setting court decisions.
"The convergence of recent activities is a call to action for architects and contractors," says Steve Erigero, a partner specializing in commercial litigation at Ropers Majeski Kohn & Bentley PC. "They must take immediate steps to minimize exposure."
Smart Business spoke with Erigero about the ways design professionals and contractors can benefit from the rebound while limiting their exposure.
What's behind the rise in liability for contractors and design professionals?
Design professionals were largely immune from liability under California Senate Bill 800, but that changed when a California appeals court ruled that homeowners and homeowners associations could now sue them for defects.
Then, the California Legislature eliminated another safe harbor, when it decided that contractors and developers could no longer pass liability to downstream parties like subcontractors.
Finally, the escalation of green building projects has resulted in a host of new design standards and certifications. Professionals who fail to comply with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or other green building standards may be held liable for any shortcomings.
What are the most common risks associated with development projects?
Architects can be liable for construction defects, delays or cost overruns resulting from plan deviations as well as the improper installation or under-performance of specified building materials. For instance, they can be liable for a leaky window, even when the framer or product manufacturer is at fault. In addition, design professionals risk becoming a deep pocket if a general contractor is underinsured or files for bankruptcy.
To protect themselves, architects need to perform visual inspections throughout the course of construction and make sure their contracts include clauses that limit pass-through liability.
How can professionals minimize exposure to risk and liability?
The first step is to conduct a risk assessment and an insurance review. Even a high-deductible insurance plan may be better than going bare, but you need facts to assess your exposure and determine your risk tolerance.
Next, be cautious about signing indemnification agreements given the court's reinterpretation of Senate Bill 800's statutes. A contract review may reveal opportunities to insert clauses that limit liability and damages, especially in California.
Finally, consider the capitalization and financial stability of builders and developers before taking on a project. You certainly don't want to be the last guy standing in the event of litigation.
How can professionals head off potential problems by working with legal counsel?
Besides helping with contract and insurance reviews, your lawyer can alert you to possible trouble by monitoring litigation activity on your current projects. It may be possible to mitigate risk by purchasing insurance if you receive a timely warning. He or she can help contractors decide whether to hire employees or continue subbing work out. Since contractors can no longer pass-through liability, it may be less risky and more profitable to exercise greater control over the construction process. Your lawyer can even help you compete for new deals by creating several versions of the same contract with varying levels of liability. That way, you can tailor your risk each time you bid on a project.
The key is to take immediate action so you don't miss out on the long-awaited rebound in the construction industry.

'They Have Got Us Outnumbered,' Says USDA Entomologist
OURAY – What's eating Ouray's forests? About 75 concerned residents crowded into an information session at the Ouray Community Center on Thursday, Sept. 26, to find out the answer to that question, and to learn what, if anything, they can do about it.
U.S. Forest Service Entomologist Roy Mask, a Service Center Leader at the USDA Forest Service Gunnison Service Center, was the meeting's primary presenter. He told area residents that there are "two main players" that are infesting fir forests in and around Ouray – the fir engraver beetle and Douglas fir beetle.
Each beetle is endemic to the area and exceedingly species-specific; the fir engraver beetle (scolytus ventralis) attacks white fir trees almost exclusively, while the Douglas fir beetle (dentdroctonus pseudotsugae) specializes in the Douglas fir tree.
A geo-referenced map showing the results of a recent USDA aerial survey of the Ouray area revealed just how extensive the recent infestation has become. The map was covered with large clusters of pox-like orange blobs, or "polygons," indicating patches of newly infested forest blooming like cancer in all directions around Ouray.
Passing around vials of fresh beetle specimens taken from white fir and Douglas fir trees in the Amphitheater Campground near Ouray that very afternoon, Mask said, "There is an awful lot of it going on. You are not going to make this go away. It's not possible. They have got us outnumbered."
Barring dramatic cooling of the climate, Mask said, the infestation will likely continue unchecked in the coming years.
Fir engraver beetles are tiny – about the size of a grain of rice. The Douglas fir beetle species is a bit larger and can grow up to a quarter-inch in some cases. While there are some other important differences between the two species, their M.O. is basically the same.
Females initiate the attack. Using their chewing mandibles, they bore their way through crevices in the tough outer layer of bark on their tree of choice – generally one that is drought-stressed or otherwise compromised – and into the juicy, living inner bark layer called phloem, which functions as a pipeline through which soluble nutrients generated by photosynthesis are passed downward to the rest of the tree.
Just inside the phloem is the cambium layer – where tree ring growth occurs. In between the phloem and the cambium is the sweet spot where the beetles like to hang out.
Once they get in there, female fir engraver beetles start building corona-shaped egg galleries around the trunk of the host tree, depositing eggs in niches on both sides of the gallery. When the small, white, legless larvae hatch from the eggs, each chews a new trail radiating vertically away from the egg gallery, scoring the living layers of phloem and cambium, and thwarting the tree's ability to grow. The larvae's journey ends in pupation, which occurs in the inner bark at the end of the larval galleries.
Adding insult to injury, the beetles also introduce fungi that travel beyond the bark and into the xylem layer of the tree, plugging up the cells that conduct water.
"You are basically girdling it and strangling it at the same time," Mask said. "That's how the beetles are killing trees."
Douglas fir beetles have a slightly different pattern of infestation; the females create vertically oriented egg galleries that run lengthwise along the tree trunk, and the larvae radiate out horizontally around the tree's circumference, etching a pattern on the inner layer of bark, but not on the cambium layer.
Both beetle species complete their life cycle from egg to larvae to pupa to adult in a single year's time. The beetles also have "phenomenal reproductive potential," Mask said.
Infestation happens in the early summer. The beetles overwinter in the host tree as larvae and adults. When things warm up the following spring, their metabolism picks up, and they start their feeding pattern again. Most of the population flies out and colonizes new hosts in May and June.
The beetles have adapted over the eons to survive severe winters in the San Juans. The only thing that could kill them off en masse would be a sustained cold snap of at least 10 degrees below zero in the fall or spring, when the bugs are most vulnerable. And Mask said, "we just don't have those kinds of conditions here."
White firs and Douglas firs exhibit quite different symptoms of infestation, but in both cases, it takes a while for the tree to respond to what is going on. Thus, it is likely that the crown (needles and branches) of a freshly infested tree will remain green for some time, Mask said.
"The tree doesn't know that it's dead yet, even though it's got beetles inside of it," he explained.
Crown fading typically occurs the year following infestation, by which time the beetles may have already moved on to another host. "By the time you see fading trees, it's really too late," Mask said.
In white fire trees, immediate signs of infestation include tear-like trickles of sap that seep out of the holes that the beetles have bored through the bark to get to the phloem inside.
Infested Douglas fir trees have piles of boring dust (called frass) on the bark surface and eventually at the base of the tree.
Endemic populations of both the fir engraver beetle and the Douglas fir beetle can infest broken tree tops and fallen trees as well as living trees, and will often colonize trees at sublethal levels, causing wounds and sometimes branch dieback from which the tree can sometimes recover.
The unusual density of the forests near Ouray makes them particularly susceptible to beetle epidemics, particularly once their vigor has been compromised. And the fir trees around here are definitely compromised, Mask said. Not only are they drought-stressed; they are also still recovering from a Western spruce budworm epidemic that spread throughout the region in the 1990s.
"It's a connected world," Mask said. "Years of defoliation by budworm sets up bark beetle infestation."
When trees become stressed, not much can be done to prevent infestation on a forest-wide scale. Even natural predators such as woodpeckers are unable to keep beetle populations in check once they reach epidemic proportions.
On a forest-wide scale, the U.S. Forest Service utilizes several strategies to address beetle infestation, including "sanitation" (i.e. giving infested trees a free ride down to the lumber mill), controlled burns and thinning green stands.
On an individual basis, preventive trunk spraying is the only proven way to protect white fir trees from infestation. Three chemicals have been proven to be effective: carbaryl, permethrin and bifenthrin. "These will work 95 percent of the time, and have been rigorously tested," Mask said.
White fir trees need to be sprayed at least once a year, in the late spring or early summer before beetles fly out of their old host trees in search of new ones.
Costs associated with spraying treatments vary with ease of access and the size of the tree, but typically range from $30 for a small tree to $60 for a large one, said Linda Corwine, whose Montrose Landscape Consulting and Spraying business treats trees in the area. For large treatment areas, Corwine charges by the gallon of insecticide rather than by the tree.
While the sprays are toxic to fish and some "friendly" insects (such as bees), they are considered safe for mammals, Corwine said.
It is also important for property owners to clean up beetle-attracting blown-over trees and fallen branches in a timely manner.
While fir engraver beetles appear to be thriving and multiplying in the stressed environment around Ouray, Mask said, "The good news for this beetle is that they do not overwhelm the entire forest at one time," as is the case with the mountain pine beetle that has killed off vast swathes of evergreen forest in other parts of Colorado.
That's because unlike the mountain pine beetle, the fir engraver beetle does not emit an aggregate pheromone to attract fellow beetles to an area. Rather, scientists believe that fir engraver beetles are able to detect favorable host trees by following the chemical signals emitted by the stressed trees themselves.
Douglas fir beetles, in contrast, do communicate with one another via aggregate pheromones. The denser the stands, and the larger the diameter of the trees, the better the Douglas fir beetle likes it. Infestations generally occur in cycles; the beetles come in, take out the largest diameter trees in the densest stands, making way for younger trees to grow up, then the cycle repeats itself again.
Individual trees and small groves of Douglas firs can be protected by using inexpensive anti-aggregate pheromone patches that can be attached around the perimeter of a property. There is no known anti-aggregate pheromone that will repel the fir engraver beetle.
Freshly dead trees that are still holding all of their brown needles may still be infested with beetles and larvae. Once a tree has lost all its needles, most likely the beetles have moved on. One clue is to look for bore holes in the bark, revealing that the beetles have chewed their way out of the tree.
Ideally, dead and infected trees should be cut down. If an infected tree is cut in the fall, it is important to strip and macerate the bark to destroy surviving beetle populations. "Debarking is not fun but that is where the eggs and insects are," Mask said.
Mask recommended that residents focus on saving trees in so-called "high-value areas."
"You may not be able to save them all," he said, "but you could save some of them."
All the extra rain this summer and fall has helped the fir trees around Ouray regain some of their vigor. However, Mask warned, "We are not out of the woods yet. There is always a hangover effect. The metabolism of trees is such that they don't miraculously heal up. We had a phenomenal monsoon, but not enough to make the beetle infestation collapse. I wish I could tell you it's all going to go away, but it will hang on for a while."
The good news, he stressed, is that there will not be uniform mortality among the trees. The bad news? "As long as the forest continues to be stressed, the beetle will hang on."

Testicular Tumors
What is a testicular tumor?
Boys have two testicles, which are the male sex glands located in the scrotum. A testicular tumor is a benign or malignant growth in a testicle. These tumors are very rare but when they do occur, they often occur in boys younger than five. About 2% of pediatric tumors are testicular tumors.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms include swelling and hardness of the scrotum, an abnormal shape or size of a testicle, or a node in the testicle. Some tumors cause pain in the affected testicle. Most of the time, these symptoms indicate a less serious problem, such as a hydrocele or hernia but a physician should examine the child to be sure.
How is it treated?
Your physician will first order tests that will help give a better picture of the size, type, and other aspects of the testicular tumor. Your child will probably have an ultrasound. A biopsy (where a sample of tissue is removed from the tumor and examined under a microscope) also may be necessary. Other tests may be performed depending on your child's specific needs.
Whether testicular tumors are benign or malignant, they usually need to be removed, and the testicle will likely be removed, too. Because your child has two testicles, he may still be fertile (able to have children).
If your child's tumor is malignant, other treatments will likely be necessary, such as chemotherapy or radiation. More information is available on Children's nationally regarded oncology program.

Classic Good Looks Meets Rugged Ingenuity
Jonathan Ward and his team at Toyota Land Cruisers (TLC) have created some of the most memorable Toyota FJ-series vehicles to date. We were so impressed with their TLC Icon vehicle that we put it on the cover of our Feb. '06 issue. All Icons are handbuilt in very low volume in Van Nuys, California, by a small crew of six specialists, one at a time, with handtools. All design work is done with CAD to ensure standardization and to improve efficiency of the operation. The concept behind the Icon vehicle was to create something that would offer the consumer the classic good looks and style of the original FJ40 vehicle with the driving performance of a modern vehicle. With a little bit of research and a whole lot of know-how, they have now added a biodiesel version into the Icon family. As we take a walk through this more-than-impressive vehicle, we can only wonder what TLC will think of next.
TLC began development of the new "Biocon" by researching many engines and manufacturers. Although they have always been big fans of the non-USA Toyota diesel engines, this was not an option due to the fact that service parts are not available in the U.S. After also investigating the more common North America market diesel four-cylinders, they came to the conclusion that they were either too heavy, too tall, too long, or too difficult to adapt to the chassis. Ideally, TLC wanted to use a high-pressure direct-injection motor but discovered that there is not enough technical support in the service sector to ensure that their customers would be able to find support for maintenance. The new electronics-intensive diesel engines require special tools and training barely present at the dealer level, not to mention in the general repair community.
In the end, they chose a proven, simple, and highly reliable engine made by International called the HS 2.8L VNT. Four cylinders, 2.8 liters, high-pressure rotary-injected with Garrett variable turbo and intercooler. This engine features quality Bosch support parts, simple electronics, stellar reliability, and extreme longevity. The fuel system was designed to be directly compatible with biodiesel. Delivering plenty of performance with loads of torque down low where it's needed (276 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm) while averaging 25 to 30 mpg, this is a four-wheeler built with exploration and the environment in mind.
The Icon begins life as an old FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser ('60-'78). The truck is then stripped down to the frame, and the extra parts are recycled back into the Land Cruiser community or are sold as scrap metal. All of the textiles TLC uses are from environmentally conscious suppliers.
