Many small claims cases involve bad debts–a claim that the defendant owes the plaintiff money. Usually this means a bill for goods or services hasn't been paid, but it also can involve failure to pay a promissory note (for example, a loan from a friend or relative) or even a civil fine for something as simple as the failure to return a library book. The plaintiff wins the vast majority of these cases, often because the defendant defaults. This illustrates how effective small claims court can be as part of any business's collection strategy. Individuals also use small claims court to sue over goods or services that are shoddy, not as promised or ordered, or not delivered at all.
Even bad checks for small amounts may be worth pursuing. A rubber check may be worth three times its face value. Every merchant is stuck with a bad check now and then. In many states, special laws allow a person receiving a bad check to obtain a judgment for a significant amount of money in damages in addition to the amount of the check, sometimes up to three times the amount of the check.
But paradoxically, small claims court can also work well for a defendant who puts on a spirited defense because the person believes he or she owes no money or the plaintiff is asking for too much. In large part this is because, unlike formal court, in small claims, defendants don't need to file complicated paperwork or jump through other legal hoops to present their side of the story. Indeed, all a defendant has to do is show up on the appointed day and make a convincing, well-documented presentation.
Some professionals, like doctors, dentists, and lawyers, don't use small claims court to collect unpaid bills because they think it takes too much time. Businesspeople who don't use small claims court as part of a self-help debt collection strategy must normally either write off the loss or turn the bill over to a collection agency. But small claims court actions can often be handled with very little time and expense once you get the hang of them. And in many states, businesses can delegate the job of actually appearing in court.
Unincorporated businesses can often send a representative to small claims court. Oftentimes, a bookkeeper, financial manager, or other employee of a sole proprietorship or partnership can appear and present a case in small claims court if the case can be proved by presenting a business record (showing that a bill hasn't been paid, for example), and if there is no other issue of fact involved in the case. And, in many states, a corporation or limited liability company has the right to send any authorized employee, officer, or director, and a partnership may send a partner, to court.
Small claims courts vary from state to state in terms of who can sue to collect unpaid bills. Some states:
Even among the states where businesses can't hire third parties but must represent themselves to sue on bad debt claims, there are important differences. For example, a few states entirely prohibit corporations from suing in small claims court, while others make it difficult for unincorporated businesses to send anyone but an owner or partner to court. However, most states allow corporations to sue and make it reasonably easy for both incorporated and unincorporated businesses to designate a bookkeeper or other employee to handle court appearances.
After first checking the summary of rules on your state's website, contact your small claims court clerk and find out exactly what rules govern bill collection activities in your state. If you are a business, talk to other businesspeople (or business associations, such as the chamber of commerce) to learn practical strategies to cope with these rules. Also, if you are in a state where bill collectors or lawyers do small claims collection work, you will want to find out how much they charge and how efficient they are and then compare this information to the time and energy it would take for you to do it yourself. Because bill collectors and lawyers typically charge from 20%-50% of any money they collect, you may conclude that you want to do this work yourself.
In many states, a business owner does not have to personally appear in court but can send an employee. Where money is owed, a bookkeeper or financial manager is normally a good choice, because the person can testify that a valid contract existed and the defendant has not paid the promised amount. However, if the defendant shows up and defends on the basis that the goods or services were defective, delivered late, or otherwise not acceptable, the bookkeeper is likely to be at a serious disadvantage; he or she probably has no firsthand knowledge of anything except that the check was not in the mail. For example, if you own a graphics business and are suing on an unpaid bill in a situation where you expect the defendant to show up in court and falsely claim you did lousy work, you will need to have someone in court who knows the details of the particular job. Typically, this should be the employee who dealt with the customer and did the work.

Pennsylvania Republicans, smarting at one more loss in an ongoing series of setbacks in presidential elections, continue to make noise about changing the way the state awards electoral votes.
Currently, Pennsylvania operates as a "winner-take-all" state. It's no wonder the GOP and Tea Party backers are looking to change the system. They've been on the outside looking in for years when it comes to presidential elections.
No less an authority than state Sen. Dominic Pileggi, R-9, of Chester, has been one of the biggest proponents of changing the system. When he first called for awards electoral votes proportionally last year, the move got shouted down as a political powerplay.
The proposal went nowhere. Now, fresh off another stinging defeat, this time with Pa. voters overwhelmingly backing President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney, Pileggi and others are back calling once again for reforming the system. Pileggi has tweaked his original plan, which called called for a proportion of the state's 20 electoral votes to be awarded according to vote totals in congressional district. He now has modified the plan, suggestions votes be distributed as follows: Two to the statewide winner, with the remaining 18 being divided based on the proportion of the popular vote received by each candidate.
Coming just weeks after the presidential election, Pileggi believes the "political" tag that was slapped on the move is no longer a factor.
We don't agree. However, Pileggi might be in the right church, he's just in the wrong pew.
If Republicans really want to reform the system, there is a better model out there.
The opponents of the current Electoral College system lament that it allows several states - and in particular large cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City and Philadelphia to hold sway over the vote.
There is some merit to their argument, but their solution is faulty. It stands to reason that big states and large cities would have a bigger say in the vote since that's where most people live, in large cities and the surrounding suburbs. Here in Pennsylvania, it's acknowledged that Philadelphia and the five surrounding suburbs, along with Pittsburgh, control the vote.
That hasn't stopped the state from electing Republican Tom Corbett as governor, Pat Toomey over Joe Sestak as U.S. Senator, and a string of Republican congressmen, including Rep. Pat Meehan, R-7, of Drexel Hill.
But when it comes to presidential politics, the GOP has been behind the eight-ball now for decades, watching as Democrats fueled by huge turnouts in Philly and the suburbs have taken the state again and again.
It's not hard to see through their reasoning for changing the electoral system. Their plan, awarding votes in part by congressional district, would tilt this lopsided playing field back in their favor.
If the system had been in place for the most recent election, who do you think would have won Pennsylvania? That's right. Pa. would have gone over to the Mitt Romney camp, despite the lopsided win for President Obama in the popular state vote. That's because there are more Republican congressional districts. One has to look no farther than the twisted pretzel that the 7th Congressional District has morphed into through the wonders of redistricting to see the kind of political shenanigans that are in play here.
And don't kid yourself for a minute that gerrymandering congressional districts is solely a Republican trait. They say to the victors go the spoils. Nowhere is that more apt than in politics. Republicans control both houses of the state Legislature. That means they get to control the commission that redraws the congressional districts in ways that benefit them, just as Democrats would do if the situation were reversed.
All of which is a good reason not to adapt the kind of system being espoused by those looking to change the electoral college system.
The Electoral College is far from perfect. It can be fairly criticized for giving undue clout to the more populous, bigger states, ones that carry so much political booty in terms of electoral votes.
There is a solution, but it's not the one being espoused by Pileggi and other Republicans. It will, however, assure that every voter's presidential ballot "counts," carrying an equal weight.
It's called the National Popular Vote initiative.
Here's how it works: Enabling legislation is passed in states promising to award all of that state's electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. But any change is put on hold until states with 270 electoral votes - enough to win the presidency - pass the enabling legislation.
No constitutional amendment needed.
No need to expel the Electoral College.
So far, that legislation has been passed by states totaling 132 electoral votes.
Once the initiative is in place, we can be assured that the winner of the national popular vote will win the election - and that everyone's vote for president counts, whether they live in the cities or out in the countryside. If Pileggi and others have concerns about making sure every vote count, we urge them to consider this proposal.
It seems far preferable to awarding electoral votes by gerrymandered congressional districts.

Fukumi's approach to a melody is straightforward and simple, and what distinguishes her from other minimalist singers is her unflinching confidence with a vocal line. Hazeltine's standout arrangements ably support Fukumi's economical vocals while making full use of evocative horn solos (Jim Rotondi on trumpet and flugelhorn); the top-flight rhythm section (John Webber on bass and Mark Taylor on drums) for the most part sits tight in the background. In song selection Fukumi plays it safe with standards and jazz remakes of Burt Bacharach hits from the 60sthe net result is a relaxed album that is hard to pin down and hard to dislike.
When singers choose less over more the focus invariably shifts to the lyrics, and this is the case with Fukumi's latest effort. The tune "Guess Who I Saw Today showcases her abilities as a believable storyteller, and her restraint on "Just One Of Those Things, made all the more difficult by the driving pulse of her band, only calls attention to the insouciance expressed in the lyrics.
These days most jazz singers are revamping pop classics, and those tunes by composers of substance (like Bacharach) often benefit from the update, which, if done well, reveals the timelessness of solid songwriting. Fukumi and company do it well: They removed all of the chirpy 60s sound from their remakes of "The Look Of Love and "Alfie mostly thanks to Hazeltine's informed reharmonizationsand on "Close To You Taylor's brushes and Fukumi's wistful vocals turn the 1970s hit from a soft-rock ballad of requited love to a modern jazz ballad about longingand losing.

TAMPA — In the past two weeks, both a lawsuit and an ethics complaint have alleged that the late businessman Ralph Hughes bankrolled an Arkansas home for Hillsborough County Commissioner Jim Norman.
Norman wasn't talking Wednesday. But the St. Petersburg Times asked him twice in July if he accepted money for the house from Hughes, who benefitted over the years from the county's pro-development decisions.
Norman said no.
When asked if his wife, the sole owner of the home, received money from Hughes, he refused to answer.
"My wife and her business partners can have dealings with anyone they choose to," he said.
The FBI is now investigating the origin of the $435,000 used to buy the house.
On Aug. 24, Norman beat state Rep. Kevin Ambler in the Republican primary for the District 12 state Senate seat. He faces two write-in candidates in November for the seat representing north Hillsborough and central Pasco counties.
Ambler this week sued Norman and election officials, claiming Norman was not eligible to run because he didn't list on financial disclosure forms two boats that were included with the purchase of the Arkansas house. The suit also claims that Norman received a $435,000 loan from Hughes shortly before his wife bought the house.
A complaint filed with the Florida Elections Commission days before the Aug. 24 primary made the same allegations. The commission rejected the complaint because state rules don't allow cases to be filed against candidates within five days of an election.
Records show that Norman's wife, who does not work outside the home, paid $435,000 cash for the house in 2006.
Although Mearline Norman is listed as the sole owner of the property, Jim Norman has said his wife bought it with investors.
But he has declined to name them, saying that what his wife does is her business.
"She doesn't get into my County Commission business and I don't get into her stuff," he told the Times in July.
Hughes, who died in 2008 at age 77, made his fortune in building materials and used it to fund the campaigns of candidates who shared his belief in smaller government. In mid 2009, the IRS filed a court claim against Hughes' trust for unpaid income taxes, interest and penalties for 2003 through 2007.
Beginning in the 1980s, Hughes was a frequent speaker before the Hillsborough County Commission, railing against taxes in general as well as impact fees assessed on new construction.
In 2000, the commission voted to abolish impact fees in some communities, with Norman pushing hard for the waivers.
That paid off for Hughes.
He ended up selling building materials for two huge subdivisions slated for 3,000 homes in one of the impact fee free zones in southeastern Hillsborough.
Over the years, Hughes, his relatives and close business associates contributed heavily to Norman's election campaigns, directing at least $15,000 to Norman for his 2002 and 2006 commission runs.
State records show Norman received about $2,000 from Hughes and his son's company, Sunrise Landcare, shortly after announcing his Senate run and just two months before Hughes died.
Norman led the charge to name the county's Moral Courage Award after Hughes shortly after the Seffner businessman's death. In making his pitch, Norman pointed out that Hughes pressed to have the county attorney report to commissioners and for the creation of a county internal performance auditor.
"These are good-government issues that he fought for," Norman said at the time, calling Hughes a "man of integrity"
Less than a year later, Hughes' name was removed from the award at the family's request when the IRS filed its claim against his estate.
Times staff writers Sue Carlton and Bill Varian contributed to this report. Janet Zink can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (813) 226-3401.

NAEYC Alert: April 14, 2011
Call your U.S. House Representative Today to vote NO on the FY 2012 budget proposal
The final FY 2011 bill is passing this week and we have some positive news on early childhood (see below). But we need you to immediately turn our attention to tomorrow's vote in the U.S. House of Representatives that sets a dangerous course now and for the future funding of programs that help low and moderate income families.
The Fiscal Year 2012 budget resolution (sometimes referred to as the Ryan budget for Chairman Ryan) would make two-thirds of the cuts from programs that help low and moderate income families with early and later education, health and nutrition. This will mean dramatic cuts to Head Start, child care, among many other education, nutrition and health programs that help children and families thrive, and in turn, help our nation be economically strong. Fiscal responsibility is important, but better choices can be made that this proposal. It is critical that you, your colleagues and others in your networks call your Representatives today and tomorrow to vote NO on the Fiscal Year 2012 budget resolution.
How to Call
Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-225-3121 and ask to be directed to your Representative's office. To get the direct office number, put in your zip code at our Take Action Now page.
Your Message:
I live in your district, and I strongly urge you to vote NO on the House Budget Committee's proposal for Fiscal Year 2012 and beyond. It will create even greater deficits for our children by threatening their health, nutrition, and education. The cuts to Head Start, child care, child nutrition and health would put our nation's potential and prosperity at great risk now and in the future. Again, vote NO on this fiscal year 2012 budget proposal.
Update on How Remainder of FY 2011 was resolved:
Congress avoided a federal shutdown and came out with an agreement that showed support for early childhood education. The bill does require a 0.2 percent across-the-board cut that will be applied proportionately to all non-security discretionary programs. For early childhood:
Head Start receives a $340 million increase for Head Start and Early Head Start. This will allow the additional children funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to continue to receive services.
Child Care & Development Block Grant receives a $100 million increase which allows some of the children served by ARRA to be maintained. The $100 million includes a proportional increase over baseline (pre-ARRA) funding levels in the quality set-aside (from $271 million to $284 million) and the infant/toddler set-aside (from $99.5 million to $104 million).
Race to the Top receives $700 million and a yet-to-be-determined portion of those funds will go to a competitive state grant similar to the Early Learning Challenge Fund. This section of the bill says that these competitive grants funds to states will be administered jointly by the federal Departments of Health and Human Services and Education; set a goal that states will increase the number and percentage of low-income children (infants, toddlers and preschoolers) who are enrolled in high quality early learning programs; creating an integrated system of high quality early learning programs and services; and that assessments must conform to the recommendations of the National Research Council's reports on early childhood that have addressed appropriate uses of child assessments as well as cautions.

Headed into the spring/summer travel basketball season, Marcus Hunt felt he was poised for a big run. As it turns out, he was right.
The 6-foot-5 small forward from College Park (Ga.) North Clayton has been off to a torrid start this Spring.
Humble and soft spoken, Hunt credits much of his success to the level of comfort he feels with his Georgia Stars teammates.
"We are all from different locations so when we get together we have fun," Hunt told Rivals.com. "When we go into the hotel we are all in there laughing and clowning or whatever. It's a good influence on all of our play. We are so relaxed, it makes basketball fun."
What isn't fun -- for opposing defenders at least -- is trying to stop the powerful and athletic 215 pounder.
"My strengths are that I can shoot the ball well and I can create with my size," said Hunt. "Most other guards aren't as strong or big as me and that lets me take them in the post and off the dribble."
Already ranked #138 in the class of 2012, the three-star wing has gotten a host of attention from the likes of Alabama, Miami, Florida State, Nebraska, Missouri, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Georgia State, Memphis, South Carolina and others.
With a long list, he's in no rush and is interested to see how things shape up after he plays out the grassroots season.
"I'll probably cut it down after the summer," said Hunt. "I will sit down and discuss it with my family and we will find the right fit."

ALHAMBRA -- A woman testified Tuesday in Alhambra Superior Court that she witnessed a German national's transformation into Clark Rockefeller.
Mihoko Manabe said she dated the man and lived with him until about 1994. She first knew him as Christopher Crowe. The two worked together at a New York City securities firm in the late 1980s.
The man, whose real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, was being sought by police in connection with the disappearance of John Sohus, 27, of San Marino. Manabe said her friend settled on using the name Clark Rockefeller when making dinner reservations at a restaurant in Maine.
"Eventually, he became Clark Rockefeller," Manabe said.
Prosecutors Tuesday expected to call their final seven witnesses in a preliminary hearing for Gerhartsreiter who is suspected in the 1985 bludgeoning death of a San Marino man.
Gerhartsreiter, 50, aka Clark Rockefeller, could face life in prison if convicted in the case, which could go to trial as early as September, officials said.
Leading up to Tuesday's hearing prosecutors called 23 witnesses, including representatives of law enforcement and civilians.
First witness of the day was Manabe, who said she was Gerhartsreiter's girlfriend until 1994. She knew him as Christopher Crowe. Manabe said after she was contacted by police in Greenwich, Crowe became nervous and the couple began taking measures to avoid others including the police. She said she helped him become Clark Rockefeller.
"I just wanted to protect him.," Manabe said.
Crowe told stories about his past to hide his true identity, Manabe said.
"He said he was from Pasadena, went to Caltech and studied film at USC,' Manabe testified. "He said had a grandmother in England.

Help Categorize Hurricanes
The National Climate Data Center has 300,000 images of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) from 30 years of satellite observations. Unfortunately the method for categorizing them has changed over time and from place to place.
Is a cyclone labeled "Category 3" in 1988 the same intensity as a Category 3 today? Maybe not.
The database needs to be standardized but reclassifying this many storms is an impossible task for NCDC staff. How can they solve this problem? Crowdsource it! Once you know the color scheme, anyone can easily recognize patterns and pick similar images.
And so CycloneCenter.org was born.
Pictured above is Hurricane Gilbert from 1988. It has the classic cyclone swirl and an obvious eye in the middle. The intensity is also shown in color. Dark blue clouds are the very tallest, then red, orange, yellow, with pink-gray the lowest. Gilbert is one intense storm!
Now you're ready to try your own storm. Here's what you'll find at CycloneCenter.org:
- The very first time you visit: Watch the demo and click on the "?" Help symbols. If you want, you can create a login so you get credit for your storms.
- Occasionally the first step presents you with two images and asks you to click on the more intense storm.
- For every storm: A single image is presented on the left. Pick its pattern: Eye, Embedded center, Curved band, Shear, Other. Click the "?" Help buttons to get used to the patterns.
- Now pick the image that most closely matches your storm.
- Repeat for #3 and #4 for five more time-lapse images of the same storm.
Don't worry if your first attempt seems clumsy. There is no right answer. Everyone can do it. All of us can help.
Read more about the project here or go directly to CycloneCenter.org to try your eye on a hurricane.

From RVT to DVM: The alphabet soup of veterinary medicine
Q: Tell us about how you prepared for veterinary school.
A: I didn't take the conventional route. After a year of college at North Carolina State, I realized I didn't enjoy being in a lecture hall with 400 other people. So during the spring of my first year I started looking at other options. I stumbled across the Central Carolina Community College Veterinary Medical Technology program. I graduated in 2001, all of the time working in a general practice and paying for school out of pocket. For the last five years, I've worked at the Veterinary Specialty Hospital of the Carolinas in Cary, N.C., and taken classes to fulfill the prerequisites required for veterinary school.Q: Did your veterinary technology degree give you an advantage when you applied?
A: Being a registered veterinary technician didn't set me apart from people who have earned an associate's degree in English or literature. What the admissions officers want to see is that you committed to a program and you completed it.
Q: What advice do you have for team members who are interested in veterinary school?
A: Work hard, gather as much information as you can from the school, and stay focused. Don't let anything deter you from your goal.
It's also a good idea to think about how to set yourself apart from the rest of the applicants. For example, I branched out of small animal medicine and volunteered at a sea turtle hospital and at a swine production facility to develop a wider range of experience.
Q: What's a good first step?
A: Start looking at schools you'd like to attend and find out their requirements. Talk to people at those schools and in the admissions offices and make yourself marketable to them. They want you to succeed. The more you talk to them, the more you'll find out and the more you can gear yourself to what they're looking for.

Snooki's amazing party for Lorenzo
Snooki got animals and big prizes for her son Lorenzo's birthday extravaganza.
The Jersey Shore star spared no expense in making sure Lorenzo had a spectacular day on Saturday. She and fiancé Jionni LaValle invited just close friends and family to celebrate the big day with them in Poughkeepsie, New York.
And she wanted something her son and their guests would never forget.
"I chose the circus theme because I feel it fits best for throwing a huge first birthday bash - you can have animals, games and prizes!" Snooki tells People magazine.
Snooki, 25, ignored no details to make the day as perfect as possible. Traditional circus fare such as hamburgers and hot dogs were served, as well as a petting zoo with bunnies, goats, llamas and turtles. There were also ponies for the children to ride.
The event was very emotional for the reality star, who gave birth to Lorenzo on August 26 2012.
"I cry at every milestone he does and I'm definitely going to cry when we all sing 'Happy Birthday' to him," Snooki admitted. "He's my baby, my pride and joy, and I'm so proud of him turning one."
Lorenzo's cake was a delicious buttercream concoction in line with the circus theme. The two-tiered cake was covered in a circus tent and little edible circus animals.
Snooki and Jionni are proud of the fact their son already has a very sophisticated palate for a baby.
"Lorenzo loves everything!" Snooki says. "He eats meat, cake, fruit, ice cream - he loves it all."
And she admits having a baby has transformed her life and priorities.
"My whole perception of life has changed ever since I had my son," Snooki reveals. "I finally grew up into the woman my parents always knew I would be and I love it."

New York State Senator Ruben Diaz, a Democrat, introduced a bill that would mandate all parents in the state take parenting classes or their children won't advance beyond sixth grade. I can see it now, 18 year olds stuck in sixth grade because their parents refuse to take the classes. It isn't just one class either, it's four classes, and employers would be forced to give parents a day off. Even worse, watch the news report below, some people think this is a good idea. One guy said, with a smug look on his face, that parents who are against these state-run classes probably need them the most. I wonder how many kids he has.
Diaz introduced the bill over a year ago, but for some reason this is just making news now. Of course, I didn't hear about it from the local media, I found it at Ace of Spades.

Blaine family full of heroes
Terri Hemsworth of Blaine was not feeling well and was having trouble breathing April 26. She brushed it off, however, and told her family that she did not need to see a doctor. She promised to let them know if anything happened again.
Around 6 a.m. the next day (April 27), she started having an embolism. She told her husband that she could not breathe and she does not remember anything after that.
What her husband Eugene Hemsworth remembers is that he told her to get dressed and prepare to go to the hospital. At this point, his wife of 46 years fell off their king-size bed and onto the bedroom floor.
Their son Tony and his wife Amy were living downstairs in the Hemsworth's Blaine home at the time while they were between houses. After hearing the thud and quickly finding out that Tony's mother had fallen, they went upstairs to help out in any way they could. See more in Eric Hagen's ABC Newspapers exclusive.

text: Diagnosis By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Your doctor is likely to start with a health history and a thorough physical exam. Those evaluations may be sufficient if your indigestion is mild and you're not experiencing certain symptoms, such as weight loss and repeated vomiting. But if your indigestion began suddenly, and you are experiencing severe symptoms or are older than age 55, your doctor may recommend: Laboratory tests, to check for thyroid problems or other metabolic disorders. Breath and stool tests, to check for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the bacterium associated with peptic ulcers, which can cause indigestion. H. pylori testing is controversial because studies suggest limited benefit from treating the bacterium. Endoscopy, to check for abnormalities in your upper digestive tract. A tissue sample (biopsy) may be taken for analysis. Imaging tests (X-ray or CT scan), to check for intestinal obstruction. If initial testing fails to provide a cause, your doctor may diagnose functional dyspepsia.

text: How To: Color outdoors with container plantings By Julie Robinson May 4, 2013 Story Share McClatchy Newspapers A sun-loving combination of silver dusty miller, red geraniums and creamy petunias brightens a patio. McClatchy Newspapers Three pots of impatiens with roselike double blooms create colorful interest along brick steps. McClatchy Newspapers A grouping of shade-loving pots features begonias and impatiens. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's finally time to fill those forlorn pots and planters that have languished through cold weather with spectacular combinations of plants to brighten patios, porches and front entrances. Garden centers and plant vendors are stocked up with trendy plants and old-fashioned favorites.They're so stocked, as a matter of fact, that the selection process can be a bit overwhelming. So let's start slowly.If you're starting from scratch, your first choice will be of a pot. In general, bigger is better. Plants need room to spread out and grow.An advantage of larger pots is that they dry out more slowly. A downside is the large amount of soil required to fill them. Bill Mills, garden designer and general manager of TerraSalis, sometimes circumvents that by placing a large container upside-down inside and setting a small pot on top. Or you can fill with dirt around the upside-down pot and plant as usual.Pot selection is a matter of preference. Plastic pots are lighter and hold more moisture. Heavy terracotta and ceramic containers breathe more and will soak up some of the water. It's crucial that the pots have drainage holes. A layer of gravel provides some drainage, but a hole is best. Without proper drainage, plants' roots are more likely to rot, Mills said.Pot in hand, it's time to purchase potting medium. Yes, you really should dump out last year's soil and start fresh."You don't want to use the same soil as last year. It compacts and loses its nutrients. All the watering washes them out. Reusing soil is one of the most common mistakes people make," said Mills, who advises the use of a lightweight medium that contains peat, perlite, vermiculite and some fertilizer and water-retentive material.A heavy, dense mixture won't retain water and holds little air."The lighter the mix, the better for pots. The lighter mix acts like a sponge," Mills said.Mills empties soil from previous years' pots and works it into his gardens.Even experienced gardeners often make the mistake of packing pots with too many plants for the instant results. When filling pots in the springtime, gardeners are likely using young plants that need room to grow. They'll fill in soon enough, but they won't thrive if they're too crowded. Another common mistake is mixing plants that have incompatible light and water requirements, and then placing containers in spaces that don't meet the plants' light requirements.It's worth paying close attention to the sun's pattern to be sure you're placing potted plants in spaces with appropriate lighting. Plants labeled as sun lovers require five to six hours of sun. Shade-lovers are just that, although most will tolerate some morning sun, which is not as strong as afternoon rays, Mills said.Once the pots are prepped and the lighting appraised, it's time for the fun part: plant selection. It's not a bad idea to make a list of pots that need to be filled and how much light they receive.Or you could just wander willy-nilly through the aisles of tempting plants. That's my approach. I usually pick up combinations of flowers, vegetables, herbs and even small shrubs that catch my eye. I pack them into an overflowing cart, matching plants as I go. For complementary (hot and cool) color combinations, chartreuse and hot pink or purple is a favorite combination, as is orange and blue or purple. Think vanilla-scented purple heliotrope and lime green creeping jenny or sweet potato vine or orange verbena with purple/blue salvia.A monochromatic container holds different plants with flowers in the same hue. Red celosia, pentas, zinnias and trailing red verbena would be an eye-catching combination for a sunny spot.Combinations of three are considered visually appealing. The phrase "thriller, filler and spiller" helps some gardeners to remember the tried-and-true combination of a tall eye-catching plant (the thriller), a midsize full plant (the filler) and a trailing plant (the spiller).The dramatic New Zealand flax, which Mills describes as "yucca on steroids," comes in pinks, reds and maroon and would draw the eye upward in the back of a large container.For a practical and attractive touch, include vegetables and herbs in your flowerpots. Swiss chard, lettuce, radishes, carrots and kales are tasty additions. Soft green sage leaves, ferny dill, ruffled parsley and spiny rosemary are useful as well as attractive. For a simpler look, don't worry about combining plants. One large plant or several of the same kind create a colorful splash. I've been known to transplant a thriving hanging basket into a large pot for instant results.Group single-plant pots together for more impact."A line of potted boxwoods along a walkway is very effective," said Mills.The work isn't over once the plants are in the pots. There's the watering, of course, but also fertilizing. It's a step many people skip, but the results are undeniable. They might not be quite as dramatic as the "with" and "without" comparison photos in fertilizer advertisements, but applications do make a difference."Anything in a pot needs fertilizer. The water flushes the nutrition out," said Mills, who uses liquid kelp and fish emulsion on his containers. "Just don't apply it right before a dinner party. It does stink."Chemical fertilizer labeled for use on blooming plants should produce more flowers.If the plants you brought in before the first frost last fall survived the winter indoors, it's time to bring them back outside where they'll be happy to breathe the fresh air and soak up the sun. Minimize shock to plants weakened by a winter indoors by introducing them slowly to the outdoors."Put them in a sheltered place with morning sun for a few days before moving them into sunnier spots," said Mills. Don't place them outside at first on a windy day, or they'll be wind damaged.

LOS ANGELES – A federal judge yesterday ordered the government to reopen the immigration cases of dozens of foreign widows whose U.S. citizen spouses died before they could get their green cards.
U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder ruled that the Department of Homeland Security couldn't deny the widows' applications to remain in the country legally because the agency didn't process the paperwork before their spouses died.
The ruling paves the way for several dozen widows in Western states to have their applications for green cards reopened by the government.
Monika Monroe, 32, a German makeup artist, said yesterday that she never imagined she would meet her future husband, Tim, on a vacation to Prague – nor watch him die of a heart attack less than three months after they married.
For nearly two years, Monroe said, she has found herself drowning in a struggle with immigration authorities to stay in the hillside house in Los Angeles she shared with her husband and their two dogs.
"I am hopeful," said Monroe, whose living room is covered with photographs of the couple embracing on a road trip up California's coast and at their Las Vegas wedding. "I feel like I have a little bit more ground under my feet – maybe I can start walking."
The class-action case is one of many lawsuits filed nationwide by foreign spouses affected by the so-called "widow penalty." Lawsuits also have been filed in Missouri, Maryland, Georgia and Texas.
Snyder's ruling follows a 2006 decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of a woman who had been ordered deported to South Africa after her husband was killed in a car accident. The 9th Circuit said she had the right to have her residency application reviewed.
Brent Renison, an attorney for the widows, said the ruling applies to about 60 widows in Western states out of roughly 200 widows who face similar problems nationwide.
Renison welcomed the ruling but said there is no guarantee that the widows will be given green cards just because their cases will be reviewed.
"How I feel about it is, I am on this mountain, I can't let go or else I'll fall off, and yes, I've made it a few more feet but if you ask me have I won everything? No, we got a little farther up the mountain," Renison said.
Snyder's ruling also applies to plaintiffs covered by the 6th Circuit, but Renison said he has no plaintiffs in that jurisdiction.
Snyder declined to rule on the cases of widows elsewhere in the country.
In recent years, U.S. authorities have denied widows' applications to remain in the country because their American spouses died before they had been married for two years – and before officials finished processing their paperwork.
One woman's husband was killed in Iraq. Another's husband was killed in the line of duty for the Border Patrol.
Amy Kudwa, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said Secretary Janet Napolitano has recognized the widows' predicament and asked staff to come up with a solution.
After the 9th Circuit ruling, immigration officials started letting widows in Western states apply to have their applications considered on humanitarian grounds so long as they could find another American citizen relative willing to provide an affidavit of financial support on their behalf.
Renison argued the government was erecting additional barriers for widows.
Snyder agreed, and ruled the government could not require the affidavit as part of the deceased American citizen's application to have a spouse live in the United States.
Monroe, who has no other relatives in this country and isn't close with her late husband's family, hopes that could make the difference.
After Tim died, Monroe said she didn't know if she could work legally. She was afraid to visit her mother in Germany, worried she wouldn't be allowed back into the United States.
Monroe said once she joined the class-action suit in Snyder's court she couldn't be deported, but won't really be safe until she has a green card in her hands.
"In a way, it is going to be over somehow – but Tim will never come back," she said in an earlier interview, fighting back tears. "If he would see what was going on after he was gone – I don't know, I can't even imagine."

EU fears divide Poland
By BBC Central Europe analyst Jan Repa
In a rowdy parliamentary sitting, Poland's controversial radical farmers leader, Andrzej Lepper - who opposes Polish entry into the European Union - has been stripped of his post as deputy speaker after describing Foreign Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz as a "scoundrel".
Until recently, Mr Lepper was regarded as an embarrassing joke by most urban Poles.
Then, suddenly, his Self-Defence Party - better known for blocking roads and depositing manure outside ministry buildings - won 53 parliamentary seats.
Analysts see Self-Defence as part of a wider political "revolt" by the large segment of Polish society which has not benefited from economic and social change and feels threatened by impending European Union membership.
These are, first and foremost, small farmers, pensioners, and the ultra-conservative wing of the Catholic Church.
Mr Lepper's antics are also seen by some as revealing a deeper insecurity about Poland's identity - a country that has traditionally seen itself as suspended between a "progressive" West and a socially and economically "backward" East.
Poland's new government, led by former Communists-turned-Social Democrats, like Prime Minister Leszek Miller, has made the acceleration of EU membership talks a top priority.
Mr Lepper's latest outburst followed an announcement that Mr Cimoszewicz had agreed to shorten considerably the period before foreigners - here, read Germans - can buy Polish land.
Mr Miller's government finds itself fighting on two fronts.
As well as holding off Poland's eurosceptics, it is facing a serious economic slowdown.
After growing at an annual rate of between 4% and 7% for most of the 1990s, Poland's economy slowed to 1.5% this year.
And it is expected to grow by little more than 1% in 2002.
Budget abyss
The result is a yawning budget deficit, which the government is trying to plug by cutting expenditure and raising taxes.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Miller was trying to frighten his Peasant Party coalition partners into concessions.
"We talked about the budget, about what could happen if counter-measures are not taken, about the fact that Poland is on the verge of bankruptcy, and what should be done to rescue the state. That was the main issue in our talks," he said afterwards.
Mr Miller and his Finance Minister Marek Belka want to increase VAT on new buildings - which would affect farmers.
The Peasant Party wants a temporary increase in excise duties instead - which would complicate relations with the European Union.
A revised budget for 2002 is due to be presented to parliament next week.
What happens to the Polish economy matters.
Poland is by far the biggest of the 12 countries currently negotiating EU entry - and the Germans, for one, say any enlargement that did not include Poland would be almost unthinkable.
Mr Miller and his colleagues can comfort themselves with two observations.
First, a public opinion poll result issued this week shows 61% actively supporting EU entry - 5% up on October.
Second, analysts now think the economic slowdown in America and other Western countries may prove shorter than feared, which ought to help Polish exports and the economy generally.

Swanage is a coastal town and civil parish in the southeast of Dorset, England. It is situated at the eastern end of the Isle of Purbeck, approximately 10 km south of Poole and 40 km (25 miles) east of Dorchester. The parish has a population of 9,601 according to the UK census of 2011. Nearby are Ballard Down and Old Harry Rocks, with Studland Bay and Poole Harbour to the north. Within the parish are Durlston Bay and Durlston Country Park to the south of the town. The parish also includes the areas of Herston, just to the west of the town, and Durlston, just to the south.
The town, originally a small port and fishing village, flourished in the Victorian era, when it first became a significant quarrying port and later a seaside resort for the rich of the day. Today the town remains a popular tourist resort, this being the town's primary industry, with many thousands of visitors coming to the town during the peak summer season, drawn by the bay's sandy beaches and other attractions.
During its history the bay was listed variously as Swanawic, Swanwich, Sandwich, and only in more recent history as Swanage.
Swanage was an urban district between 1894 and 1974.

Tavon Taylor, street racer accused of killing 8, trial delayed
A man facing vehicular manslaughter in the 2008 Accokeek street-racing tragedy had his second trial postponed.
Tavon Taylor, 21, of Waldorf, was allegedly involved in a street race Feb. 16, 2008, with Darren Bullock, 22, of Waldorf, on Rout 210/Indian Head Highway.
According to police, Taylor and Bullock were blinded by smoke from a previous street race when Bullock's vehicle--a white Crown Victoria--plowed into a crowd of about 200 people, killing eight.
The prosecution has argued that although Taylor's vehicle, a green Grand Marquis, did not strike the victims, the alleged race between Taylor and Bullock makes them both responsible for the eight deaths.
After two days of deliberation, the PG County jury found Taylor guilty of two traffic charges, speed racing and reckless driving, which carry a combined fine of $1,000.
They failed to reach a unanimous verdict in the manslaughter charges, with nine believing Taylor was guilty and three believing he was not, according to lead defense attorney J. Wyndal Gordon.
Gordon said he believes the state's case against Taylor will become more difficult as time passes, with witnesses having a harder time recalling a morning that already is two years ago.
Taylor faces a maximum of 80 years in prison if convicted.
Bullock pleaded guilty January 29 and is expected to be sentenced Tuesday to up to 15 years in jail.
Witnesses who were at the street race when Bullock's car hit the crowd, as well as an assistant medical examiner who helped perform autopsies on the victims, have given grisly accounts about the crash and gruesome fatal injuries.
The lead collision analyst for the crash, Prince George's County Police Department Cpl. Christopher Hinkson, testified Bullock's vehicle was traveling between 75 and 102 miles per hour when it hit the crowd.

Cardiology Questions Answered by Verified Cardiologists.
Hello, Thank you for your question.
I am sorry for your problem, i will try to answer your questions.
I have few questions initially... So that i can help you in more detail.
Q.. how these PVC's were detected ?
ECG or holter test ?
Q.. How many PVC's are you having in one hour ?
Use reply button to send the reply.....
Q... What other tests are done until now for this problem ?
holter test 20 no other tests
How many PVC's were present on holter ?
And these were seen in one hour ?
Some more information i need before i can proceed with suggestions, if you do not mind my questions ?
Q... Do you have some previous medical issues ?
Q.. Are you taking some medicine recently ?
heart disease
Ok, when was this diagnosed ?
last week
What other tests were done ? Echocardiogram ? or stress tests were done ?
What it showed ? do you have the results ?
Ok, i will give you some suggestions with this limited information available.
These PVC's can be due to many reasons and one main cause is ischemic heart disease which you are having, so in your case most likely cause of these PVC's is ischemic heart disease.
Now there are 5 gradings of PVC's
Actually 6 grades and 0 being the mild and 5 being the most severe form of PVC's
You are in grade 2 which is a mild form.
in this case we use medicine like beta blockers to control these PVC"s.
Main risk of uncontrolled PVC's is that they cause symptoms of dizziness and can cause run of life threatening arryrhmias.
So you need to be started on betablockers to control these PVC's.
You have more questions ? let me know.
I will try my best to help you out.
One more thing if you have diagnosed ischemic heart disease, you should also be taking medicine like aspirin, statins, ACEi
Are u there?
as these have shown to decrease mortality upto 25%
Yes, i am here have you not received my replies.
I have typed my answer and i can see it on my screen.
If not i will type them again for you.
I am copy pasting my replies again.
Now there are 6 gradings of PVC's
0 being the mild and 5 being the most severe form of PVC's
And in this case you need to be started on beta blockers.
Main risk in these PVC's is symptoms like dizziness and run of life threatening arrythmias.
life threatening arrthmias, u mean like my heart my stop
Yes this means that heart rate can go up so much that heart will not pump adequate blood to the vital organs like brain, kidneys and heart itself.
You have some more questions in your mind.... Let me know.....
Could i have a heart attack or a stroke?
Yes, it can happen, because when the heart rate increases the oxygen demand of the heart also increases and it may not get enough blood with very high heart rate.
stroke can also occur as heart is not pumping adequately.
Your questions ? queries ?
I recently had a heart rate of 130.
It needs to be lowered to around 60s
to lessen the risk of heart attack and PVC's.
Your questions ?
Have more questions ? let me know......
Should i go to the er?
Well, if you are having constant feeling of PVC's and dizziness then ER visit is best option.
As i have mentioned that one major cause of PVCs is ischemic heart disease so this may be worsening and needs an immediate evaluation.
Your questions ? queries ?
You have more questions ? let me know. I am waiting for your replies.
are u there?
You have not received my replies.
I will type them again.
If you have symptoms of dizziness and feeling of frequent PVC's
then you need to go to ER right away.
as this may be symptom of worsening ischemic heart disease.
Have you received my last post. ?
you have more questions ? let me know...
if you are there i am not receiving anything.
I have typed my answer multiple times.
i am not sure why are you not receiving the replies.

It has now been 4 months since I had my neck/face lift. My surgeon is board certified and only works on face and neck.He has been telling me that this puffiness will go away but I am getting ready to go back for a check up and I am just a little more than concerned about this now. I need to know if there is something further that can be done to make this look better or is this it? I am embarrassed to wear my hair back. Thanks for any insight you can give me about this.
Should I Be Concerned That my Neck and Chin Still Look Like This? (photo)
Doctor Answers 15
Conservative Measures First
Looking at your pictures, my inference is that your surgeon performed submental liposuction followed by some form of plication procedure for the platysma. While it is always a tricky business to try to make a diagnosis based solely on pictures, my guess is that the fullness you see is caused by a combination of factors.
At four months post-op, there is probably still a significant component of swelling and inflammation present in your neck. There may also be some residual subcutaneous and subplatysmal fat augmenting the appearance of fullness there. Finally, liposuction in this area frequently causes bands of scar tissue to form, some of which can cause tethering of the deeper layers of the skin to the now exposed platysma.
At four months post-op, you would be well advised to treat this conservatively with massage, and perhaps a couple of injections of dilute steroid at one month intervals. If there is still no improvement by the time six months have passed since your operation, it would be reasonable to begin to discuss other options with your surgeon.
Face and necklift swelling several months post op should be evaluated by your surgeon
Without knowing the details of your facelift procedure - I'd venture to say that you have some edema of the dependant tissues of the submental region. In patients with fatty necks, this can take a long time to resolve. You also have some contour irregularities here as well. Your surgeon will likely tell you this will take months to resolve, and I would second this advice. Certainly stay in touch with your surgeon in case you do need a revision months from now.

Excessive Submental Scarring
It appears you have build up of scar tissue below your submental incision. This can be a troublesome area especially if there is a postop collection of fluid or blood. The good news is that these areas almost uniformly improve with time. The bad news is that more than one surgeon has fallen in the trap of trying to improve this too early at the insistence of an unhappy patient only to make things worse. Be patient and trust your surgeon.

Post-op Results
Dear ReallyWTF,
I certainly see what you are referring to. At 4 months, I would consider this a less than ideal result. You certainly do have some residual swelling from your surgery, but that doesn't explain all of the contour irregularities present. You should discuss this with your surgeon. I would suggest waiting until at least 6 months after your surgery before considering revision work. It would be reasonable for your surgeon to want you to wait up to a year.
Asif Pirani, MD, FRCS(C)
Should I be concerned about my neck?
As others have commented it's hard to say without seeing your before pictures. You do appear to still have a lot of edema which should go away with time. You also have some telangiactasias which I have sometimes seen after extensive lifting and defatting of the skin. These occur while the circulation is being reestablished and can take a year to improve. They sometimes require laser treatment, but I would not recommend it before a year.

Fullness in neck 4 months after face and neck lift
It would help to see preoperative pictures for comparison, but here are some general principles. Some people take a little longer for swelling to resolve after surgery. Since the neck is the lowest point when compared to other facial structure, swelling often settles there due to the effect of gravity. Massage in an outward direction can help. Sometimes even a chin support worn in the evening can be of use, even at this late date If you tend to retain fluid with high salt intake, it would be wise to reduce salt in your diet. The key is the physical exam, and your surgeon is in the best position to help you. I would not recommend surgery yet, since time may produce further improvement.
Residual lumpiness of neck after lifting
It's hard to comment without before photo for comparison. It appears you do have some lumpiness and contour irregularity of the neck. It's important to discern if the contour is residual fat, scarring, loose skin or a combination of the above. The revision is based on what's causing it. I would still recommend waiting a bit longer before doing anything invasive or surgical. Massage therapy may help but discuss it with your surgeon first.
Best Wishes,
Stewart Wang, MD FACS, Wang Plastic Surgery
Face and neck lift are typically well healed by this time
I would address the concerns that you have with your surgeon. In some patients, with regard to any residual inflammation, there can be mild swelling that persists for up to 6 months. But as in your case, by 4 months, the lumpiness should be going down. You can massage the area to help it go down. But, I would definitely bring it up with your surgeon about your concerns and formulate a plan to address it.
Neck concern after facelift.
You should wait longer and follow up with your surgeon. I have been doing facelifts for 35 years and have seen this go away with more time.
Lumpiness after a Facelift
I can see the lumpiness on the photos. You have not posted your before surgery photos, but generally, after 4 months any lumpiness should be gone. Sometimes you will see slight "resagging" of the skin at 4 months. I don't think that is what is going on. I would speak to your surgeon and come up with a plan to address this. If you are not totally comfortable it is sometimes helpful to seek a second opinion.
