High Court Changes Cumis LandscapeAugust 26, 2015 Joe McMillen
We all know the maxim that "bad facts make bad law." Two years after J.R. Marketing, LLC prevailed in the Court of Appeal concerning its dispute with its commercial general liability insurer, Hartford, it ran out of luck before the California Supreme Court in its fight over important Cumis counsel issues. Hartford Cas. Ins. Co. v. J.R. Marketing, LLC, 190 Cal. Rptr. 3d 599, 2015 DJDAR 9111 (Cal. Aug. 10, 2015). This is a must read for every lawyer in California that acts as Cumis counsel.
The Reasonable Expectations of the Covered Party, Even an Additional Insured, Determines the Interpretation of Ambiguous Policy LanguageJanuary 27, 2014 Robert McKennon
In California, courts have long held that where a policy provision is ambiguous because it is susceptible to multiple interpretations, the reasonable expectation of the covered party governs. But which parties' objectively reasonable expectations should govern where there are both a named insured and an additional named insured claiming coverage? In its significant decision in Transport Insurance Company v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County, __ Cal. App. 4th __, 2014 Cal. App. LEXIS 28 (Jan. 13, 2014), the Court of Appeal of California held that it is the objectively reasonable expectation of each party seeking coverage that is applied in determining the meaning of language within an insurance contract as it applies to that party, even where it is an additional insured who is not a party to the contact.
Insurers Have a Duty to Defend at the Outset of Litigation Even If a SIR Has Not Been ExhaustedOctober 16, 2013 Robert McKennon
Insurers providing general liability insurance cannot shirk their duty to defend insureds at the outset of litigation by relying on self-insured retention (SIR) provisions in those policies unless the policies expressly and unambiguously make the insurer's duty to defend contingent upon the SIR. So held the Fourth District Court of Appeals in American Safety Indemnity Company v. Admiral Insurance Company, __ Cal. App. 4th ___, 2013 Cal. App. LEXIS 779 (2013). The court's decision in American Safety is highly favorable to insureds because it substantially limits the ability of insurers to circumvent their obligation to pay first-dollar for the defense of their insured by arguing that the SIR has not been exhausted.
Insurers Forfeit Their Protections Under Civil Code Section 2860 (Cumis Statute) When They Fail to Meet Their Duty to Defend ObligationsJune 27, 2013 Robert McKennon
If you want to read an important case on Cumis counsel and the consequences to insurers who fail to fulfill their obligations relating thereto, we have one for you. J.R. Marketing LLC v. The Hartford Cas. Insurance Co., __ Cal.App.4th __ (May 17, 2013). This case has a lot to offer: Cumis counsel, attorneys' fees, Buss allocations, duty to defend, and insurance bad faith issues. In this case, the California Court of Appeal for the First District handed down a very important decision that is highly beneficial to insureds and their independent counsel (i.e., Cumis counsel). Significantly, the court expanded upon the limitations on the ability of insurers to impose upon their insureds' choice of defense counsel when they do not properly defend their insureds, most likely committing insurance bad faith. Specifically, the Court found that insurers who wrongfully refuse to defend their insureds are barred from maintaining suits against their insureds' independent counsel for reimbursement of fees and costs charged by such counsel and are barred from relying on the protections afforded insurers under Civil Code section 2860.
California Court Holds That Third-Party Plaintiffs Can Bring Claims Against Defendant's Insurer for Breach of Contract and Bad Faith After a SettlementJune 21, 2013 Robert McKennon
In a case of first impression, the California Court of Appeal for the Sixth District held that a plaintiff who sued a defendant and settled the case can later sue the defendant's insurer directly for breach of contract and bad faith concerning a medical expense provision. This unprecedented decision potentially opens a new avenue for injured plaintiffs to pursue redress directly from insurers for injuries caused by their insureds.
Barnes v. Western Heritage Insurance Co., __ Cal.App.4th __, 2013 Cal. App. LEXIS 480 (June 18, 2013) involves a Plaintiff who was injured in 2001 when a table fell on his back during a recreational program co-sponsored by the Defendant. Plaintiff made a claim against the Defendant. But when Plaintiff subsequently requested payment from Defendant's insurer, Western Heritage Insurance Company, more than one year after the accident for consultation with a medical specialist, the insurer denied the request under the insured's Comprehensive General Liability Policy. The insurer asserted that to qualify for medical payment coverage under the applicable policy, Plaintiff had to report a claimed medical expense to the insurer within one year of the accident
California Courts Give Effect to the Intent of the Parties to an Insurance ContractDecember 28, 2012 Robert McKennon
A recent California Court of Appeals decision served as a reminder of the long-standing rule in California that the mutual intent of the parties will always control the interpretation of potentially conflicting provisions in an insurance contract. In its recent decision in Gemini Ins. Co. v. Delos Ins. Co. (Dec. 5, 2012, B239533) __ Cal.App.4th __ [2012 WL 6050774] [Second Dist., Div. Five], the Court of Appeals was faced with the task of interpreting the inter-insured exclusion (i.e., an exclusion for claims between two insureds) in a liability policy as it applied to an additional insured named in the policy when the additional insured's property has been damaged.
The Facts: A restaurant owner, and tenant to the property, negligently caused a fire which caused damage to property of the landlord. The landlord was an additional insured under the policy at issue, which insured him from liability for acts caused by the restaurant. The policy also contained an exclusion for claims asserted between two insureds. After the fire, the landlord sought relief from the restaurant for damage to his property. On a motion for summary judgment by the landlord's insurer, the landlord argued that he was not an insured under the policy, and therefore the inter-insured exclusion did not apply. The trial court granted the motion.
The Ninth Circuit Amends Opinion in Du v. Allstate removing policyholder friendly languageOctober 15, 2012 Robert McKennon
We recently wrote about a policyholder friendly opinion by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that seemingly held that an insurer's duty of good faith and fair dealing, which is implied in every contract of insurance, may be violated by the insurer's failure to attempt to effectuate a settlement within policy limits after liability of its insured has become reasonably clear, even without a policy limits settlement demand. In other words, the court held that a demand within policy limits was not an element of a bad faith failure to settle claim. The Ninth Circuit, on October 5, 2012, issued an amended opinion deleting this language and leaving open the questions: 1) whether the duty to settle can be breached absent a settlement demand from the third party claimant; and 2) whether the genuine dispute doctrine can be applied in third-party cases.
Bad Faith Liability May Be Premised on an Insurer's Failure to Effectuate Settlement When Insured's Liability Was Reasonably ClearJune 20, 2012 Robert McKennon
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a recent decision held that an insurer's duty of good faith and fair dealing, which is implied in every contract of insurance, may be violated by the insurer's failure to attempt to effectuate a settlement within policy limits after liability of its insured has become reasonably clear. In essence, the Court found that an insurer's unreasonable refusal to attempt to effectuate settlement after the evidence reasonably indicates that the insured's liability will be in excess of the policy limits constitutes bad faith.
California Court of Appeal Upholds Insurance Coverage for Health Net Finding The "Dishonest Acts" Exclusion Did Not Preclude CoverageMay 29, 2012 Robert McKennon
In Health Net, Inc. v. RLI Insurance Company, et al., the California Court of Appeal, Second District, reversed a trial court's entry of judgment on a Motion for Summary Judgment finding some coverage for Health Net, Inc. ("Health Net") in connection with numerous lawsuits filed against it arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Health Net brought suit against four of its insurers (one primary and three excess carriers) seeking a declaratory judgment that the insurers had a duty to defend and indemnify Health Net in over 20 underlying actions involving Health Net's insurance plans provided by employers, which plans were subject to the requirements of the ERISA. The parties, however, directed their attention to two specific underlying actions, as the amount of indemnity sought in those actions would far exceed the combined policy limits of the defendant insurers. Relying on a policy exclusion for "dishonest acts," the trial court granted summary adjudication to the insurers with respect to Health Net's claim for reimbursement of its defense costs and the costs of settling the specified underlying actions. The parties subsequently settled their dispute regarding the remaining underlying actions, and summary judgment was granted in favor of the insurers. Health Net appealed the ruling.
New ED CA Decision is a Feast of First-Party and Third-Party Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith PrinciplesMarch 15, 2011 Eric Schindler
Every now and then a court decision comes along that is a virtual one-stop shop for basic insurance coverage and bad faith principles—a primer for newbie insurance attorneys and a refresher for seasoned litigators. Chief Judge Anthony Ishii's recent decision granting in part and denying in part an insurer's motion for summary judgment on a farm-owners insurance policy is one. Ted Gaylord, et al. v. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, et al., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 21736 (Eastern District of California, March 4, 2011). The Gaylord decision also sounds a cautionary note to policyholder attorneys to be mindful that first-party and third-party claims in a single action may be subject to different limitations periods.
The Facts
Gaylord owns and operates a livestock operation, raising his own cattle and raising cattle for others. In June 2008 some of the cattle die suddenly. By September and October 2008 cattle begin dying at an alarming rate. Gaylord suspects feed poisoning. Autopsies and feed testing confirm that the cattle are dying from liver failure caused by toxic plants in the alfalfa feed. There is no known cure, so Gaylord gets permission from the Department of Agriculture to sell the cattle off for early slaughter—but at a financial loss for Gaylord and the other cattle owners.
Nationwide issued a farm-owners insurance policy to Gaylord in March 2008. One part insures against physical loss to covered property (first-party); one part insures against third-party liability claims. Gaylord says he moved his farm-owners insurance from Fireman's Fund to Nationwide because his long-trusted insurance agent told him that Nationwide had better coverage, including coverage for cattle loss from poisoned feed. But Gaylord's agent says he told Gaylord that a "custom feeding of livestock" endorsement was necessary to cover cattle loss from poisoned feed, and that Gaylord declined it because it was too expensive.

Mexican Warriors Promise To War With Pagara Brothers
by Ronnie Nathanielsz
Mexican warriors Mario "Rocky" Meraz and Hugo Partida have promised to wage war when they face-off against the Pagara brothers, Jason and Prince Albert at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino on Saturday in another exciting fight card presented by ALA Promotions and the giant broadcast network ABS-CBN.
Meraz who trains at the Baja California boxing gym of manager/trainer Antonio Lozada Castillo whose fighters include former WBC lightweight champion and current WBC International Silver light welterweight champion Humberto Sotto and former WBC Silver light flyweight champion Luis Ceja said he is "going for a knockout" although he made it clear at a luncheon press conference in Cebu "for sure its going to be a knockout – either me or Pagara."
Meraz who said he is "ready after training for three months "for the showdown with WBO International junior welterweight champion Jason Pagara.
The rugged Meraz has a pretty scary record of 16 knockouts in 20 wins with three losses and is expected to engage Jason Pagara in a power-punching battle.
Meraz is coming off a ten round unanimous decision over Javier Carrera whom he dropped in the opening round last May 14 but was himself dropped during a furious exchange in round four.
Carrera, the WBF North American welterweight champion gave Meraz all he could handle in a fight that was described as one with high-paced, back and forth action highlighted by the fact that both Meraz and Carrera scored knockdowns.
Meraz showed his boxing skills against Carrera and often connected with good combinations and while Carrera appeared to land the more powerful punches, he rarely followed up.
The fight was touted as one of the best in Ensenada, Mexico this year.
Partida told the well-attended press conference that he knows that Prince Albert Pagara has a good record but said he would bank on his experience in a fight that he vowed "will be a war."
Partida, the WBC FECARBOX Interim champion with a record of 21-4-2 including 16 knockouts has vowed to inflict the first loss of the young Pagara who has a record of 20-0 with 14 knockouts.
Reports received by Viva Sports from Mexico state that Partida is a strong fighter and someone who comes to fight which is typical of Mexican warriors.

Closed Is New Open: Software Industry Bends Standards
The European Interoperability Framework, EIF, regulates how public agencies, citizens and businesses communicate with other on a software level. Now an alliance of proprietary ventures has had an influence on the EIF draft.
An earlier EIF draft from the summer of 2008 had a lot of promise. At that time the IDABC (a EU commision with the unwieldy name Interoperable Delivery of European eGovernment Services to Public Administrations, Businesses and Citizens) invited the general public in the form of countless groups and individuals to participate in the framework. This participation provoked as many as 54 responses. The result was a draft that promulgated software openness and interoperability and seemed to concur with the principles of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE).
The tide has now turned. An FSFE analysis recently discovered a leaked internal EIF draft that relied heavily on a document issued by the Business Software Alliance (BSA). The BSA lobbying organization includes among its members large companies that stand to gain from proprietary software, such as Microsoft, Apple and SAP, but also IBM, Adobe, Dell, HP, Intel and a few others.
Apparently the industry, which fears losing large contracts with taxpayer funded agencies, is lobbying against open software. The new EIF draft is therefore worded to suggest that interoperability will not only be achieved through openness, but through homogeneity. Decrypted, this means, "if everybody uses the same closed source software, interoperability will be preserved." Translated further: let's preserve the quasi monopoly status quo.
Another buzzword is "openness continuum," which is defined as the spectrum ranging from software that is truly open to "non-documented, proprietary specifications, proprietary software and the reluctance or resistance to reuse solutions, i.e. the 'not invented here' syndrome." The leaked draft is much move vague about including closed software in this continuum. The FSFE webpage includes further examples of how the EIF was transformed from the original into the leaked draft.
The EIF draft up to now has served as a request for comments document and it isn't clear what the finished paper will look like. The EU member countries will have to decide that. As a recent Open Source Observatory and Repository Europe (OSOR) article indicates, "At least one European member state has hinted its unease with the new version." Four advocacy groups published "strong statements" against the latest draft and the Dutch ministry of economic affairs indicated, "This revision is an enormous step back from the first version... [and] we informally said we were unhappy with it." The German ministry of the interior was more guarded in its assessment and ventured, "there are some points that have to be discussed again, including the definition of interoperability and open source."
homogeneityA homogeneous world doesn't sound very innovative, among other things. :/

Facebook.Twitter. LinkedIn. FriendFeed. The world of social media has added much more than a litany of new buzzwords to the professional communicator's lexicon. It has also expanded the marketing and public-relations toolbox, giving companies large and small more ways to reach their audiences. In fact, according to a recent Marketing Sherpa study, 48% of respondents said they planned to increase their social media budget in the coming year – despite a troubled economy.
But, since most social media tools are free, where will those budget dollars go? Most likely to hire extra manpower – because engaging in social media (the right way) demands a significant investment of time and energy. The personalized and conversational nature of this new communication venue means that one-size-fits-all strategies don't work. What's effective for Brand A may not help Brand B.
While some companies will staff up internally to handle social media initiatives, others will elect to hire an outside PR firm. For those who choose the latter, here are some basic "do's and don'ts" to help guide agency involvement.
Do's and Don'ts of Social Media
DO understand the core premise of social media. Social media is about helping brands engage with stakeholders, create dialogue and educate a broad audience. It's not just about talking points, corporate messaging or playing "spinmeister." Make sure your PR agency grasps the distinction.
DON'T let agencies pose as someone they're not. Authenticity and transparency are two basic tenets of social media participation. Agencies shouldn't tweet as a brand's CEO or post comments under someone else's name. Disclosure is required. Without it, be prepared to feel the wrath of your network. Warning: It won't be pretty.
DON'T think social media happens in a vacuum. Agencies and clients must work closely together. Brands can't expect to take a non-participatory role in social media. While an outside agency can provide strategic direction and support, the agency is not your brand. You are. As such, you must play an active role in implementation.
DO let agencies help with monitoring. One of the most valuable services agencies can provide involves listening to online conversations. Who is saying what, and where is it being said? Listening to relevant dialogue is time-intensive. But, it's also the most critical part of social media participation. Using services like Radian 6, Filtrbox or Techrigy, agencies can sift through the noise and help brands find people and places to engage.
DO let agencies assist with content development. Often, the hardest part of blogging is coming up with fresh topics for posts. That's one area where PR agencies can assist because they're used to finding interesting story angles when pitching the media. Depending on the subject, the PR firm may also be able to help with research or some writing – as long as all parties involved adhere to the previous guidelines about transparency.
DON'T implement a cookie-cutter strategy. Agencies that immediately recommend starting a blog, creating a Twitter account and developing a Facebook page are giving bad advice. Yes, Twitter is the current media darling; however, it's not the right tool for every company – especially those with limited resources to devote to social media. The smartest consultants understand the value of listening first and then developing a customized strategy to help brands engage and participate in ways that will support overall business objectives.
Time to Get Social
Communicating through social media requires a different approach than traditional marketing. It means communicating with … not to. Having actual conversations … not just repeating key messages. It's changing how business gets done. Agencies and brands need to understand that this new form of communication centers on listening, engaging, providing value and being personable – whether it's handled in-house or with outside assistance.

James Dean: The Mutant King: A Biographyby David Dalton
This is the book that restarted the James Dean cult by celebrating him as the cool, defiant visionary of pop culture who made adolescence seem heroic instead of awkward and who defined the style of rock 'n' roll's politics of delinquency. The only book to fully show how deliberately and carefully Dean crafted his own image and performances, and the product of still unequalled research, vivid writing, intimate photographs, and profound meditation, James Dean: The Mutant King has become almost as legendary as its subject.
My Way: An Autobiographyby David Dalton Paul Anka
A teen idol of the 1950s who virtually invented the singer/songwriter/heartthrob combination that still tops pop music today, Paul Anka rocketed to fame with a slew of hits-from "Diana" to "Put Your Head on my Shoulder"-that earned him a place touring with the major stars of his era, including Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly. He wrote Holly's last hit, and just missed joining the rocker on his final, fatal plane flight. Anka also stepped in front of the camera in the teen beach-party movie era, scoring the movies and romancing their starlets, including Annette Funicello. When the British invasion made his fans swoon for a new style of music-and musician - Anka made sure he wasn't conquered. A rapier-canny businessman and image-builder who took his career into his own hands-just as he had from the very beginning, swiping his mother's car at fourteen to drive himself, underage, to his first gigs in Quebec-Anka toured the world until he could return home in triumph. A charter member of the Rat Pack, he wrote the theme music for The Tonight Show as well as his friend Frank Sinatra's anthem "My Way". By the 1970s, a multi-decade string of pop chart-toppers, including "Puppy Love" and "(You're) Having My Baby", cemented his status as an icon. My Way is bursting with rich, rollicking stories of the business and the people in Anka's life: Elizabeth Taylor, Dodi Fayed, Tom Jones, Michael Jackson, Adnan Khashoggi, Little Richard, Brooke Shields, Johnny Roselli, Sammy Davis, Jr. , Brigitte Bardot, Barnum & Bailey Circus acrobats, and many more. Anka is forthcoming, funny and smart as a whip about the business he's been in for almost six decades. My Way moves from New York to Vegas, from the casino stage to backstages all over the world. It's the most entertaining autobiography of the year.

Who Is That Man?: In Search of the Real Bob Dylanby David Dalton
For the First Time in Paperback with a New Foreword, is a Kaleidoscopic Look at the Many Faces of Bob DylanFor almost half a century, Bob Dylan has been a primary catalyst in rock's shifting sensibilities. Few American artists are as important, beloved, and endlessly examined, yet he remains something of an enigma. Who, we ask, is the "real" Bob Dylan? Is he Bobby Zimmerman, yearning to escape Hibbing, Minnesota, or the Woody Guthrie wannabe playing Greenwich Village haunts? Folk Messiah, Born-Again Bob, Late-Elvis Dylan, Jack Fate, or Living National Treasure? In Who Is That Man?, timed for Dylan's 75th birthday, David Dalton--cultural historian, journalist, screenwriter, and novelist--paints a revealing portrait of the rock icon, ingeniously exposing the three-card monte games he plays with his persona.Guided by Dalton's cutting-edge insights and myth-debunking point of view, Who Is That Man? follows Dylan's imaginative life, integrating actual events with Dylan's words and those of the people who know him most intimately. Drawing upon Dylan's friends and fellow eyewitnesses--including Marianne Faithfull, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Stampfel , Larry "Ratso" Sloman, Eric Andersen, Nat Hentoff, Andrew Oldham, Nat Finkelstein, and others--this book will provide a new perspective on the man, the myth, and the musical era that forged them both.that you find a book in which the music is discussed as adroitly as any aspect of the life... Dalton is a penetrating critic."--Colin Fleming, Washington Post "Addictive reading... This approach would have crumbled in lesser hands, but Dalton does a stunningly good job."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "The mysteries of Bob Dylan captured in even-handed, never-boring fashion... This lively and literate attempt to read a half-century's worth of brain scans from a literal living legend strikes the right balance between admiration and skepticism."--Kirkus Reviews "All David Dalton's books are wonderful, but Who Is That Man? is especially insightful, funny, and beautifully written."--Marianne Faithfull "Dalton's crazy poetic prose first caught my eye in Rolling Stone back in the day. Have loved his writing ever since. Oh yeaah!"--Steven Tyler "The first truly hip analysis of the ultimate hipster." --Lenny Kaye

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
The Bose-branded 10-speaker sound system is powerful and can play DVD-audio, streaming Bluetooth, and devices plugged into a USB port, in addition to the usual sources. XM satellite radio is standard and now includes a "Note" function, which stores a 10-second clip of up to 30 songs along with their artist/title/channel information. Speed-adjustable volume worked very well with the Active Sound Control to keep the music and talk at steady levels. MP3 discs and files show track name information.
The Bluetooth set-up in Hondas and Acuras is very familiar to us by now, and we admire its simplicity, although, like most cars, it won't pair a phone to the vehicle while moving. It is now capable of downloading and PIN-protecting a paired phone's contacts list, which is searchable via the joystick controller. We took advantage of this feature, as well as our Sony Ericsson k790's A2DP streaming, to play MP3 files from the phone.
All these systems and the dual zone climate control are controllable through the improved voice-command feature, which was already the best of its kind. As Antuan Goodwin noted when reviewing the Honda CR-V recently, the system now understands enough commands and combinations that you can get most things to work without having to know the specific words first. With radio presets, it works especially quickly, although we still felt more comfortable programming our destinations using the knob.
On the comfort side, the front seats are heated, cooled, and 10-way adjustable, including lumbar. Materials are mostly up to snuff, with nicer metal accents and real wood dashboard trim as part of the top options package. The automatic climate-control system takes GPS data into account and adjusts for the position of the sun relative to each passenger. We're not sure if this is jumping the tech shark, but we like it. Another interesting touch is the capability to let the car schedule service appointments for you via AcuraLink, which communicates maintenance information to authorized dealers at the driver's discretion.
Rear-seat room has increased slightly, and passengers reported adequate leg and head room. The trunk is deep, with a light aluminum lid and a lockable rear-armrest pass-through. The aux-audio input, USB cord, and a power outlet are all wisely located in the deep center armrest, which also has a flatter covered-storage space in its lid. There are power-lowering rear headrests, a power-rear window shade, and manual rear-side window shades. A previous shortcoming, the lack of a rear-view camera, has been remedied, albeit with a rudimentary implementation.
Under the hood
The big news on the performance front is the new 3.7-liter engine, now putting out 300 horsepower and better sub-3,000rpm torque than the heavier engine it replaces. Most luxury flagships sport eight-cylinder engines, but Acura touts the V-6's packaging and weight-saving benefits over comparably powerful V-8s. In any case, the engine sports VTEC valve timing on both the intake and exhaust sides, a first for a single, overhead, cam engine.
Also a bit of a luxury let-down is the five-speed transmission. This was targeted as the reason for the lackluster performance of the previous RL we tested, a 2007 model. It's been strengthened and remapped for 2009 and can now be paddle-shifted whether in Drive mode or manual. As noted earlier, a sixth gear on the highway might have increased gas mileage, but the top gear still provided relaxed engine speeds while cruising.
We also felt the transmission responded better to spirited around-town and curvy-road driving, not noticing any of the delays and hunting mentioned in our earlier review. Also certainly contributing to the enjoyment is the revised SH-AWD torque-apportioning system. It is noteworthy because it is capable of transferring power not only fore and aft, but also individually to the rear wheels, either of which might get all of the power coming to the rear axle (never more than 70 percent of the total) under extreme conditions. The outer rear wheel is also made to spin faster than the inner one during aggressive cornering, reducing the under-steer effect at the front.
Along with the expected traction control and stability-enhancing electronic-driving aids, the RL again offers the Collision Mitigation Braking System with the top options package. Under certain conditions based on comparative vehicle speeds, the RL will warn of a possible impending collision, also pretensioning the seatbelts with a noticeable yank and actually applying the brakes if necessary, but not enough to stop the car entirely. We found the system a little too sensitive in city traffic and never activated it on the highway, except when pulling out to pass slower traffic. The same radar-based system is used for active cruise control, a feature we didn't try this time, but which proved useful in our previous tests of the RL. CMBS can be easily switched off, as can an active headlight-pivoting feature.
The EPA rates the 2009 RL at 16 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway, which jibes with our observed, mostly highway-derived, figures mentioned earlier. The RL earns meets the California Air Resources Board's ULEV-2 emissions standard.
In sum
The 2009 Acura RL, with navigation and the CMBS crash mitigation and adaptive cruise control, comes in at a price of $53,700, putting it at the top of Acura's line-up and clear into the sport-luxury territory of competitors. Although cabin tech hasn't improved enough to keep up with the field, its best tech is now in the drivetrain, which has improved performance markedly. But it's time for a revamped infotainment interface to keep pace with the car's new power and look, along with features Acura is rolling out in the new TL.
Sales of the RL have been in decline for some time, and the revamped RL probably won't reverse that trend in the face of competition, like the perennial favorite and recent Editors' Choice winner, the BMW 5-series, the Lexus GS, and even the cheaper Cadillac CTS, also a recent Editors' Choice winner. The RL still offers a reasonably refined collection of tech, but no longer offers much to separate it from the pack. Our ratings reflect that the RL has basically stood still since our last test, while the competition has caught up. The comfort score has come down a peg, as little of the RL's tech is groundbreaking now, while the performance score has notched up one point for its new engine and enhanced all-wheel-drive package.

Cultivar La Paz: Conflicto y colaboraci n en el manejo de los recursos naturales
"This is the Spanish version of Cultivating Peace"Conflict over natural resources -- such as land, water, and forests -- has for ages been widespread. Whether it be a local dispute between neighboring farmers or an international debate over shared resources (such as waterways), people everywhere compete for the natural resources they need to ensure or enhance their quality of life. The conflict may unfold as a simple war of words, or it may escalate to armed confrontation with loss of life. "Cultivating Peace" presents original case studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, which describe important experience on moving from conflict to collaborative modes of management. The accompanying essays draw on the case studies, grounding theory in hard-won experience. This cross-fertilization of practical experience with conceptual insight creates a unique dialogue on lessons learned and identifies strategic gaps in our understanding of this complex and important issue. Cultivating Peace will appeal to researchers, scholars, and students in political science, natural resource management, anthropology, development studies, and conflict resolution.

Managing hypervisors with the Archipel VM orchestration tool
Hyper Management
The innovative Archipel cross-hypervisor management tool uses the Jabber protocol to chat with servers running Xen, KVM, OpenVZ, and VMware.
The Open Source community has delivered some of the finest virtualization technologies in the world, including the Xen and KVM hypervisors, various powerful APIs, and interfaces such as Libvirt. But thus far, no open source project has produced a really well-designed cross-hypervisor management tool for virtualized environments. The few candidates have either been restricted to a specific interface, such as the Virt-manager [1] X11 application, or they have been highflying tools with Cloud aspirations, such as Xen's Enomalism [2], which is over the top for normal hypervisor administration work.
What administrators are increasingly looking for is an intuitive web GUI capable of providing centralized and complete management for thousands of virtual machines from the whole zoo of available systems: Xen, through KVM, through VMware. Enter Archipel [3], with its fresh, new approach: The small team of French developers claims to want to do a better job than Enomalism or Proxmox [4] and delves deeply into the open source toolbox to do so.

Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

Scotway House / Henderson Shipyard
May 21, 2016 § Leave a comment
Built in 1885 Scotway house in Glasgow, was originally the drawing offices of DW Henderson Shipbuilder's.
On the 20th May 2016 it was set on fire. This breaks my heart to see yet another listed building in Glasgow being set on fire deliberately.
I was fortunate that back in 2010 the back door was open. and I went inside to document this historical gem of building, as I knew one say it would be consumed in flames in the future, as many a listed building in Glasgow that are left to rot, always do.
Some of the Iron work that had been stripped out from the internal stairway
The stunning ground floor wood and glass interior.
The dookits up in the Attic/loft
A beautiful old can of McEwan's Export. I never took anything from inside this building, but left it as is, for the next explorer to enjoy.
I actually sat on the roof for a bit, embracing the Glasgow Clydeside skyline.
Up in the attic / loft there were superb wee paper cut outs glued to the walls, of a golden age that had past.
The sadness of anything metal, or of value had been stripped. You can see the detail of one of the Iron bannisters at the top of the page.
Despite the French styled building, designed by Bruce and Hay Architects being is awful condition even back in 2010. The light in some parts was gorgeous, and absent in other parts.
I hope this building's shell is rescued, but i fear it was be flattened soon.
It has been more or less demolished now…
I will miss this old friend…

Robbie Griffith Photo shoot
May 8, 2016 § Leave a comment
I was fortunate to be hired, to do another photo shoot with the UK's finest young Parkour athlete Robbie Griffith, at the Clydeside in Glasgow, around 6:30 in the morning.
The early rise allowed us to shoot in the morning light in the quietness.
I used a lower shutter speed to add some motion to the photo, so the viewer could have a sense of motion.
It is photo shoots like this I am happy that I photograph completely in Manual setting, which allow me to have full control of what I want to achieve from the photo, and not letting the camera guess for me.
Robbie is a true professional, he is far capable of higher, more dramatic and complex moves, but allowed me to keep it simple, for this particular fresh and vivid shoot.
I used a mixture of natural back or side light from the Sun with a medium softbox as a fill light.

The Ascent
April 3, 2016 § Leave a comment
I was very fortunate to photograph Jim Griffith and Jolade Olusanya's ascent up Ben Lomond, in Scotland.
Jolade who is also photographer and film-maker from London, had never been up a Scottish mountain before. I decided to focus on Jolade and document his experience
Jolade, who lives in London was use to the flat level, ultra busy environment of the big city. So to escape to fresh open air of the Scottish Highlands was something his mind, body and soul embraced.
The higher we climbed the views just got better and the sense of scale became more apparent and respected.
The more Jolade climbed the colder it became, the visibility drastically being reduced. The air thick in fine water droplets. This is was us walking through the clouds but did not know it, as we thought it was just fog/mist.
Jolade's dark dreads became almost white, capturing the moisture from the air.
Our thighs at this point were like jelly and mood a little low from the exertion and not being able to see much.
About three quarter's of the way to the summit, the thick white clouds began to dissipate. A pastel blue sky began to appear the saturation intensified. The light becoming so bright Jolade could not fully open his eyes. It was just like when you wake up first thing in the morning light, but he soon adjusted.
We all kept on walking, with the tones of our voices lifting, bigger smiles and a new energy.
We realised that we were all just above the low cloud line. Taking photos in all directions.
Jolade embracing the mountain fresh air, the view of the clouds beneath him. His legs recovered and standing strong, his mind reflecting on his inner journey.
We kept walking in awe. The Scottish mountains poking through the clouds ahead of us.
As we turned the corner and looked up, We could see Jim sitting at the summit, taking in the views in the background and the large Black Raven just in front of him.
This was Jim's view…
When Jolade and I arrived Jim had our lunch all prepared, spicy pasta and a vista to die for.
Looking north and seeing such mountains as Ben Vorlich and Ben Nevis poking through the clouds.
Jim at the edge of a large drop, the sense of scale almost over whelming.
Jolade proud yet humbled by over coming his challenge.

I did not understand fully some of the notation used in 2D when I had the tools->options->Display->Output display->2D. So I thought if I change it to Maple notation. I might see what the symbol actually mean. But when I did so, the result was even more confusing. Full of typesetting:-mrow commands and hard to read.
Here is the output in 2D
restart;int(1/( (x-a)*(x-b)),x=-infinity..infinity );
And here is the output when I switched to Maple output:
I was expecting to see "normal" looking Maple commands, which I can understand. Even the Latex is easier to read than the above mumple jumple code:
Does this mean one should forget about using Maple notation for output from now on? Why is it the output so complicated?
#Hello people in Mapleprimes,
#shows f'(x).
#shows just df(t1)/dt1, not f'(t).
#Can't I show f'(t1) not df(t1)/dt1?
#Is this a way peculiar to Maple?
#I hope someone could give me some hints.
#Best wishes.
Please how do I type accents in code edit region of maple 2015.1 (for instance putting "Hat over" on alpha)?
Thank you.
Is it possible to subscript within a plot?
for example I have
this in principle is what I want but, the N is cursive while is O is not (and it's a bit shifted to the right, not right next to the [2] !???
Also I didnt find the meanings of mi(),mn(),mo(),mfenced()... in the help documentation which I stumbled across while googling.
for example in this case:
what do I need them for since without the mi it doesnt work?!
Is it possible to use latex notation within the plot options for more convenience?
BTW: When plotting a .ps or .eps the plotting device takes over all the features (like the examples above) but when using png instead it just prints the code behind it ( for example the `#mover(mi("x"),mi("~"))` ) and not would it should lead to
Suppose that I have a plot:
plot(sin((1/180)*Pi*x), x = -180 .. 180)
I want to add a degree symbol after the tickmarks on the x-axis. One approach which seem promising is to add a plot option for the x-axis:
axis[1] = [tickmarks = [90 = typeset("90", degree)]]
where "degree" is replaced by a code for the degree symbol. Maple is helpful here because I can point and click using the Common Symbols palette and insert a degree symbol. However this does not work delivering an error "Error, invalid neutral operator". This error is undocumented.
I can insert a Pi or an infinity symbol. If I want to I can put a degree sysmbol into ther title, but apparently not on the axes.
I'm trying to insert $(x_0,y_0)$ into a Maple plot (that's how LaTeX would be written). I want to do this with a Maple command rather than creating the plot then hand-tailoring with mouse clicks. This is what I've tried without success:
p1:=plot(sin, -Pi..Pi,-1..1):
For *something* I've tried such as
where try is something like (x[0],y[0]) and [(x[0],y[0])] and similar forms.
No joy! Any help appreciated.
A strange verical line in output of dsolve.Should be a comma in Jacobi SN function and comma's in invert Jacobi SN function.
Can anyone help me confirm this?
Why the interface typesettings option doesn't affect the content of a MathContainer?
I opened a new document. Then I inserted the command interface(typesetting=extended); to improve the visualization of a disequation's solution. It works in the worksheet, but it doesn't work in the content of a MathContainer.
In Maple 2015, on windows 8.1 64-bit the command series(2*x*(x-y)/y, y = 0, 3);gives
which is incorrect. The answer is You can notice the minus sign in front the the -2x is incorrectly typeset, which makes me wonder if it's a bug in the typsetting program and not series itself. Please fix asap
Sorry for the bad format, maple input is not working.
In particular,from an expression, something like
Int(x*f(x), x = 0 .. 1)+ Int(x, x = 0 .. 1/3)+3* Int(x*f(x), x = 0 .. 2/3)
I want to extract
That is all the integrands occuring in the expression. GetIntegrand helps to find the integrand but only for one integral, how do I do it for an expression like above.
I tried to apply following approach
subs(sin(c::anything)=c, sin(x)+f);
and the output was
I was expecting to get only 'x+f' for output.
Thank you so much for your help. You guys answered exactly what I asked for. I needed this to do something different but I should have been more careful. I realized, I could not get that part now. This is what I actually need to do, if
A:=-(5/8)*x*(Int(f(x), x = 0 .. x))+(5/24)*(Int(f(x), x = 1/3 .. x))-(1/4)*x*(Int(x*f(x), x = 1/3 .. x));
then I wish to get a function, g(xi),
g(xi)= -(5/8)x*f(xi) ; if 0<= xi <= x (5/24)*f(xi)-(1/4)*x*xi*f(xi) ; if 1/3<= xi<= x
Notice, all the terms after integral should use variable 'xi' and terms occurring before integral remains as it is.
I would like to implement a rule for typeseting delayDotProduct in latex exports (in which this expressions appears in plain form). It corresponds to dot products of vectors/matrices with the "." operator. I tried to define
`latex/Typesetting:-delayDotProduct`:=proc(f1,f2,f3) sprintf("{ {%s}{%s} }",cat(`latex/print`(f1)),cat(`latex/print`(f2))) end proc:
which does not do the job.
A related question: How can I make
produce x''(t) in latex output?
How is vertical text created in a plot? It would be similiar to using the labeldirection option set to "vertical", but my text in question will be an annotation within the field of the plot. A more general question would be how to place rotated text within a plot.
Using Maple 18.01 on windows 7.
When setting typesetting level to extended, I get this (which is what I want):
But I also wanted to use alias, to make the above show just as \dot(x), i.e. without the (t) as well, since the equations are long, and not having (t) printed next to each letter would make them easier to read. But I found out that if I use an alias as follows
then now the typesetting level extended no longer works:
What do I need to make Maple display only \dot(x) without the argument (t) everywhere?
I am a student and using Maple to type homework assignments because of the math symbols available. I was using Maple 17 but upgraded to 18, and its not as easy to use as 17. For right now I am using it in text mode, because that is what I need. But I can't figure out an easy way to do subscripts and superscripts in text mode. Also, the "element symbol," where is it? I feel like a lot of stuff is missing. For instance, the arrows, the sideways triangle, lots of symbols I used before the upgrade I cant find. Can someone help please???
Hello, I am exporting a plot (numerous plots actually) directly to eps files. In my axis labels, I have Greek and non-Greek characters. I am using the following in my plot command:

What do you get when you take a bunch of weirdos, musicians, poets and performers, a 350-pound former truck driver and at least one sex addict from a straitlaced Midwest town and leave them to their own devices? Super Happy Funtime Burlesque, apparently.
You know, Grand Rapids [Michigan] is a really conservative town, and so it was like all the freaks in town got together to form a kind of performance community out of this theater we work out of, explains ringmaster Corey Ruffin. So we did plays, poetry readings, that kind of stuff, and we did burlesque. Guess which one people actually came to? Yes, the performance with the pasties.
But this is not your typical burlesque, Ruffin points out: The music is all original, the content is often hilariously satirical (the show takes on everything from BP to Jewish folk songs), and the star stripper is the aforesaid giant fat man. He always gets the most applause, Ruffin says.
The traveling striptease circus hits the hi-dive, 7 South Broadway, tonight at 9 p.m., and tickets are $10. For more information, go to http://superhappyfuntimeburlesque.com.
