A new excuse for doing nothingNovember 20,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
With unrestrained glee, Republicans are using the calamitous debut of the Affordable Care Act as their latest justification for undermining all of health care reform. But theyre not stopping there.
The Obama administrations fumbling is apparently a good excuse for them to do nothing on immigration reform, on a budget agreement, and on any other initiative coming out of the White House.
We dont want a repeat of whats going on now with Obamacare, said Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, explaining last week why party leaders would not allow the Senates immigration bill to come to a vote, or even to be the subject of negotiations.
Their opportunistic theme is clear: If you cant trust President Barack Obama on this issue, how can you trust him on anything else? Unquestionably, the White House handed them this gift through two kinds of incompetence: the technical failure of the health-exchange website, and the political failure of the president in falsely promising that no one would lose an insurance policy they already had.
But just as these blunders are not the end of the health reform, they will also, in the end, not stop the long march to immigration reform, more jobs or desperately needed improvements to education, transportation and other fundamental functions. The House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, was right to urge Democrats on Sunday not to be knocked for a loop by the Republican feeding frenzy. Most people, she said on NBC News Meet the Press, still support progressive goals like guaranteed health insurance, a humane path to citizenship for immigrants, background checks for gun ownership and ending workplace discrimination.
Republicans want the country to believe that this months debacle shows the overall weakness of what Rep. Paul Ryan on Sunday called big government in practice. In fact, Americans have long been quite happy with big government programs, as long as they work. They dont like failure, and they hate being misled. But what people really care about is results, and once the health care website is working, millions will realize that what they are being fed by Republicans is largely bunk.
Millions of Americans will pay less next year for health insurance, or get it for the first time, because they will be eligible for the big government program known as Medicaid. Half of those who buy policies on the individual market will qualify for subsidies; they will get as good or better coverage than they had. And millions of people whose policies have been canceled or denied because of illness will now be insured.
What is the Republican alternative to this government program, flawed as it is right now? There is none. Party members simply want to repeal the health law and let insurers go back to canceling policies at the first sign of a shadow on an X-ray. They have no immigration policy of their own. They have no plan that will stimulate job growth. They are in favor only of shutdowns and sequesters and repeals, giving the public no reason to believe they have a governing vision or even a legislative agenda.
Over time, that will prove to be a far more serious failure than momentary incompetence. Democrats may be stumbling right now, but at least they are trying.MORE IN CommentaryHowever vigorously Washington defends the fact that the United States stands accused of spying...

Wheaton North's girls basketball team prides itself on playing up-tempo basketball.
After a long holiday break, however, the Falcons found themselves slowed down to a pace they weren't comfortable with in the first half of Saturday's DuPage Valley Conference showdown at Naperville Central.
In the third quarter, however, the Falcons got going.
They doubled their scoring output from the first half in the third quarter alone, and then held off a late Naperville Central charge to post a 65-62 win and remain unbeaten in the DVC at 5-0.
"Usually that first game back, it takes a while to get your legs back into it," Wheaton North coach Dave Eaton said. "You can try to simulate game speed as much as you want, but you can't always simulate that in practice. We like to play up-tempo, and we got slowed down."
Central (16-3 overall, 3-2 DVC) held a 27-23 lead at the half, playing a slower pace than Wheaton North (12-4, 5-0) wanted to play. In the third quarter, however, the Falcons caught fire.
Mandy Traversa drilled three three-pointers in the period, and overall, the Falcons went 5-for-7 from the arc to double their first-half offensive output and take a 46-45 lead after three quarters.
"We came out a little timid and shaky at first, but we settled down and we were just playing our game," Traversa said. "Our game is scoring 20 in a quarter. From there, it was all momentum toward us."
Central put up its best charge in the fourth quarter. The Redhawks went on a 6-0 run, three free throws from Victoria Trowbridge and a three-point play from Cierra Stanciel, to take a 58-52 lead with 3:25 left.
It only took Wheaton North 1:11 to get the lead back, however. Reilly Stewart and Kelly Thornton hit three-pointers, followed by two Chrissy Baird free throws, and the Falcons never trailed again.
"This is the third time (this season) where we've had a reasonable lead (and lost)," Central coach Andy Nussbaum said. "We had a six-point lead with three minutes to go. We're not closing games. We had some serious defensive lapses there where they got two threes. You're not going to win games when the other team scores 42 points in a half, I don't care who you are."
Jamie Cuny led four Redhawks in double figures with 17 points. Shannon Ryan added 14 points and seven assists, Trowbridge had 11 points and nine rebounds and Laura Dierking scored 10. Traversa led Wheaton North with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Baird added 12 points and 10 rebounds and Stewart scored 12.
It's still early in the DVC race, but Wheaton North has set a nice tone with a 5-0 start to the slate.
"Our main goal is to win this thing," Traversa said. "This is our biggest rivalry. Just beating them at their place is a huge accomplishment for us."

any way I can get default judgement vacated ?
Posted 19 October 2008 - 01:56 PM
Few days ago I pulled up my credit report and it shows a judgment filed by portofolio recovery associates( the report shows status =civil claim judgement and doc #).Also the same debt is showing as charged off by HsBc with a different amount and same debt is showing as collection by portfolio with different amount on credit report.The judgment amount is also different.
Can some one suggest me how to vacate this judgment.I need some advise on these issues please. thanks
Posted 19 October 2008 - 03:46 PM
To attack the service of the Complaint and Summons, you need to get and examine the court documents, by going to the courthouse, or by getting them off the web if you are fortunate enough to live in a county that has court documents on their website. You will want to examine closely the Proof of Service filed for the Complaint and Summons. Did they deliver it to the right address? Do they claim to have served you personally, or by substituted service? And so on.
Good luck.

Getting the judgment vacated is not the same as getting a lawsuit dismissed.Good luck.DH
Actually, it means invalidating the judgment, but it doesn't mean they can't sue you again for the same thing.
Posted 20 October 2008 - 12:44 PM
(1) affidavit from a portofolio legal specialist saying that i am the legal specialist for plaintiff and have knowledge of the matter.
(2)complaint only 2 lines saying defendant is indebted to plaintiff on an account presently in default purchased by plaintiff from GM.Plaintiff demands for th payments there remains a balance of -----
(3)a letter stating that plaintiff is not in military service
(4)letter to the the court clerk for the default judgment.
Now should i get a lawyer to get this judgment vacated?
the credit card I have is from GM and on my credit report HSBC is showing as the original creditor.
all the amounts on my credit report and court judgement are different does those make any difference to vacate this judgement
can i ask the court to dv portofolio associates because when at first i send them dv letter they did not correctly responded to it.i have those letters and the certified mails receipts.
please advise me again on this

I only knew this two days ago that there is a judgment against me from portofolio.The court clerk said a letter was sent to you to appear in the court which i did not see may be misplaced because court clerk said it was not certified.
You need a valid reason to get a judgment vacated. Did you read in the court file about how service was executed?
since i did not appear at the court a default judgement was granted however the court clerk gave me some papers to fill out and file a motion to vacate the judgment.I don't know the court procedures .and there are only four papers in the file as i mentioned above nothing else and the court clerk gave me all the copies.I believe the judgement was granted because i did not appear at the court date.

1. you weren't served properly (sounds like that is the case for you.)
2. The case they presented was full of holes (what did they send you as exhibits for evidence?)

You vacate a judgment because:
1. you weren't served properly (sounds like that is the case for you.)
2. The case they presented was full of holes (what did they send you as exhibits for evidence?)
surprisingly they did not send me any exhibit of evidence and in the court papers there is only one paper from some legal specialist of portofolio stating that he or she know this matter that's all.
today i closely look my credit report and the original creditor HSBC bank/ gm card has not only different amount on all three credit reports but it also says PAYMENT after CHARGE OFF /BALANCE O /MONEY OWED O /NO PAYMENTS DUE
And for the same account Portofolio has taken a judgment against me.
I have talked to a lawyer very expensive though,He said he has to file a motion to vacate the judgment on the grounds that papers were not served properly.also there is no proof of any money owed etc
is that case right?

You vacate a judgment because:
1. you weren't served properly (sounds like that is the case for you.)
2. The case they presented was full of holes (what did they send you as exhibits for evidence?)
Even though I have submitted a motion to vacate the judgment based on the grounds that I was not properly served,The palantiff was sent a dv letter which they did not respond plaintiff has directly violated the FDCPA .etc>basically I have modified some letters from this site to my need and submitted to court along with the certified mail copies ,Yes before submitting the papers i show it to an attorney.
Today I have received a questionnaire from the plaintiff attorney that if you did not answer the questions on the sheet you may go to jail.
asking my name ,My social security #,My bank account # My address, my car plate #s My investment information etc.Mostly legal experts should have knowledge of this here.
How should I respond to this letter? I cant give them my personal information
isn't it under privacy act?And isn't the attorney under violation of some law by asking personal information without court order.I don't have much knowledge of law but i have read board here with lots of information.
Is it necessary to response to this letter when one day ago I have sent them the notice of motion to vacate judgment in the court?.
I want to submit a counter claim against this collection agency.
what kind of claims i have to submit?.
I have all the proofs against this collection agency
like payment paypers,
dving letters
credit reports ,certified mails sent to this collection agency.
how can I include this group of attorneys in to this for sending me harassment letters?
There are lots of knowledgeable members here Please advise me on this. thanks

Regarding the questionnaire: My guess is they are asking this in order to enforce the judgment. Since they have a judgment, they are not violating any law here. I suggest responding with a letter telling them that you are moving to vacate the judgment on the grounds that you were not properly served, and you will not provide such information until properly required by the court.
Regarding counterclaims, I'm not sure you have anything. There is no law requiring them to respond to a DV letter, and there is no law against them filing a lawsuit. You might influence a judge to rule in your favor by telling them that you tried to handle this before going to court by requesting documentation, which they failed to provide, but again, no broken law here.
And letters are not normally considered "harassment."
The only counterclaim I can think of is charging them with filing a frivolous lawsuit if in the end they don't have the documents to back up their claim.
I think you kind of need to forget about DV'ing. That is something that is done according to the FDCPA while they are dunning you. You are now in court. Here's the way I think you want this to go:
1. You get the default judgment vacated based on not being properly served.
2. The judge will then allow you to file an Answer, wherein you will deny their claims as appropriate and assert your affirmative defenses.
3. You will then engage in Discovery with the plaintiff. They will send you documents like Request for Admissions, Interrogatories, Request for Documents.
4. You will respond to these.
5. You likewise send similar Discovery requests to them. This is where, in the context of a court case, they are required to show you their evidence/documentation. Whatever they don't provide in Discovery, they can't submit during trial, and you object if they do.
At this point the possible outcomes are many. You may decide they've got a strong case, and offer to settle. They may decide they've got no case and file to dismiss. You may both agree to let it go to trial to let the judge decide.
Good luck.

As i was waiting for a judge decision on the motion to vacate the judgment.Friday I received a letter of opposition from plaintiff.Attorny for CA opposed on the basis that the proof of debt validation which i sent to Ca is inconsistent because the dates on the dv letter and postage receipt are different. Then the present as (exhibit A) copy of my envelope which i send them via certified mail for the motion to vacate the judgment the address on my envelop
You vacate a judgment because:
1. you weren't served properly (sounds like that is the case for you.)
2. The case they presented was full of holes (what did they send you as exhibits for evidence?)
Also he showed the last statement of my cc card which showed the balance as (exhibit .
I took the papers to court and ask the court clerk about this opposition letter
she advised me looking at the computer that you must file a response to opposition motion and it has to be today because Monday the judge has to make notation on you motion.So In one hour time what ever come to my mind i wrote copy below
(collection agency)
Response to an opposition motion
My name is ----- and I am the defendant in this case.Plaintiff CA and their attorney has filed a certification to oppose my request for the motion to vacate the judgment based on the exhibit (A) and (.
Exhibit (A)Defendants Responses to Exhibit (A) :I ---- Never denied that, I do not live at so and so address .I receive all my gas, electric, phone bills at the same address. Plaintiff and their attorneys did not provide any proof of mails regular or certified sent to my name and to my address.
Exhibit ( Defendants Responses to Exhibit ( I ----- never Denied that this credit card ----- does not belong to me. Plaintiff CA were communicated and requested to provide not my name or bank card number But they were requested to provide written contract, assignment between bank and CA to prove that they are entitled to collect on behalf of BANK credit card as required by FDCPA /FCRA laws. Also they were requested to validate this debt.(copies of communication with CA attached with motion.).Plaintiff's definition for Exhibit (B)is irreverent to this case. Defendants Response to the objection of Mr. --- attorney for Plaintiff about Defendants communication with CA. Dates communication is incorrect. However Original copies of certified mails can be exhibited as Honorable courts demands.
DECLARATIONI, I-----,declare as follows:
1. I am the defendant in this unlawful detainer action.Plaintiff fails to prove any inconsistency in defendant's position for requesting a motion to vacate a judgment. As a result a motion to vacate this judgment must be granted so that defendant can fulfill the requirements as governed by laws.
I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the state that the foregoing statement is true.
Signed :
I dont know if this was good or bad but the limited time i had I wrote that response with whatever little knowledge i had from this site and suggestions from members of this site.Now what is further? what should I have to do more.Are the attroneys for plaintiff going to send me speedy letters like this?
Posted 09 November 2008 - 11:00 PM
First, if you have already filed this paper, you probably haven't really done yourself any harm. I think judges give pro se defendants a little leeway.
That having been said, I see one mistake. "Unlawful detainer" pertains to evictions from rental properties. Perhaps you copied this phrasing from somewhere without understanding it?
My other comment is that at this stage you're trying to get the judgment vacated because you weren't served, so that is the only issue you should be dealing with. The key issue here is, where is the proof of service, and what does it say? Without any proof of service at all, the motion to vacate should be automatic. Getting them to provide documentation or the fact that you asked for it earlier can wait for the next step.
I truly hope this turns out well for you. Keep us posted.
Posted 16 November 2008 - 12:05 PM
Friday I have received another letter from Attorney for Portfolio as supplement to opposition to defendants motion to vacate judgment.However this time they did not say that dependent was served or not but they said Plaintiff forwarded to defendent on feb 29-2008 a letter and doccuments responsive to his request on february 19 at the same address and they send more proof of validation of debt (all forged)as Exhibit A.

I have no doubt that these are all fraud documents but how do i prove it?
how do I have to address the court?.they have got a default judgment and they know they have only case if the judgment stays.Can some one help me
form an answer to their opposition or in court language,because i have to challenge the credibility of those affiances and the creditability of these (FRAUD)affidavit letters.I am not an attorney neither i ever been to any court the little knowledge i have is from board on this site but what i see here is very visible fraud.I read here some place that any one who sign an affidavit has to testify.is that correct?.Those LETTERS AND AFFIDAVITS ARE ALL MASTER PIECE FORGED DOCCUMENTS OF PORTOFOLIO.So
My basic motion was that i was not served properly and they have violated the FDCPA by not validating the debt on time.Now the attorneys of plaintiff have changed the track and they are not opposing my motion on the basis that it was default but providing some other documents that their client did not violated any FDCPA LAWS.I definitely know that PRA Never send me any letters they are providing to court now.what should be my defense now?
Sorry for the lengthy post but I need help. thanks
Posted 16 November 2008 - 09:14 PM
The Plaintiff is clearly trying to mislead the court to avoid the issue as to whether proper service existed.
All the Plaintiff has provided is totally irrelevant as it shows nothing about proper service. If the Plaintiff continues to fail to provide proof of service ask for sanctions for lack of candor before a tribunal. The atty is clearly trying to avoid the issue at hand.
You can also file a motion to compel discovery and have the judge order them to provide the proof you seek or admit they don't have it.
We fight to keep this country what it is....all gave some, some gave all.
I am not a lawyer, in all legal issues it is best to contact an attorney for legal advice....All I can do is offer my opinion.

I did exactly what was advised by sending them a letter to attorney.Friday I have received a letter its a motion to request and order for the interrogatories. The attorneys for Portfolio wrote in that if i did not appear on the date i will be arrested by court sheriff but there is no court date on that .I know this is the copy sent to me that they have filed a motion to get an order since they have the judgment.
OK, I'll try. But this in only IMHO.
Regarding the questionnaire: My guess is they are asking this in order to enforce the judgment. Since they have a judgment, they are not violating any law here. I suggest responding with a letter telling them that you are moving to vacate the judgment on the grounds that you were not properly served, and you will not provide such information until properly required by the court.
Now do I have to oppose this in the court?and how do I do it?
The court haven't decided to vacate or not to vacate the judgment yet.The attorney for portfolio are trying to mess as much as possible because all they have is this default judgment once its vacated they have no case.
Now is it possible that at this point when judge haven't ruled yet to file a motion to dismiss the case and file a counter claim? Please advise
Posted 02 December 2008 - 09:33 AM
I don't know if the threat to have you "arrested by court sheriff" is legitimate. If not, they've done a big no-no. If they've filed a motion, it would seem to make sense to file a motion in opposition. Your court clerk would be a better person to ask how.
Good luck.

hi guys i was wondering if you could help be, i am going to be framing some of my tee-fury shirts (size medium and some are a large) but i don't know where to get the frames and what size to get. can you guys help me?
7Comments Post a comment
MJ174 weeks agoThis guide might help :) You should be able to find the materials at an art supply store (or via a google search).
Scafl174 weeks agoI've gotten some of my doubles of shirts framed at a local framing shop. It's probably way more expensive than what MJ linked, but the results look really great. I'll have to take pics of my TeeFury display once I have a lot more...
If you get them professionally done, they will probably sew-mount them to minimize any damage to the shirt. Although cheaper, sandwiching a shirt like these up against the glass will eventually damage the image. All sew-mounting is is stitching the cloth to a backing board with the same color thread. Although there are adhesives you can use as well, again more damage to the shirt and more possibility of slippage.
And the size would depend on the shirt and layout, but they'd be fairly large frames. Most craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michael's sell cheap sectional frames or harder to find pre-made shadow-boxes.
That's true, I was thinking they meant to display the shirt more like a sports jersey, with the whole shirt shown on a background, rather than just the image.
freemason174 weeks agois there a way to do it without harming the shirt?

Long Beach Vacation Rentals with Air Conditioning(53)

Recent Long Beach Reviews
This beautifully maintained home made our Long Beach vacation all the more perfect. The owner's attention to detail – both in décor and amenities – provided the ideal location for our time away from home. And while the property itself was perfect for our group (three bedrooms, two full baths, backyard dining, incredibly clean, etc.), it's the little things the owner's provide that make travel easy (beach towels, cooler, etc.). They take great pride in their home and truly want your stay to be special. I would recommend this property to anyone staying in Long Beach and hope to make it back in the future. - Ideal location - Immaculate condition - Beautiful landscaping - Great customer service (owners were very nice and easy to work with) - Accurate description of property and amenities (with photos)
I lived in this apartment for 5 months and I couldn't have asked for a better place. The location is great -- just a block from shops, restaurants and a great Pilates studio. The apartment is immaculate and comfortable with everything I needed for my stay. The apartment has been restored to the 1920s but with modern amenities such as a washer and dryer. Leslie is a great landlord. This is a great place to stay.
Overall this home was lovely to stay at! Plenty of room for us! Very clean and smelled good. The home was very roomy for us we had at a max 7 adults (1 wheelchair confined) and 2 small children...not many places can fit that many people. Very wheelchair accessible only problem was in the bathroom as the toilet is a little oblong however we managed. Did not realize there was central air! It was a pleasant surprise, though we did not need it most days. The patio is MUCH larger than the pictures looked...We loved hanging out there amongst the shade. We did not use the BBQ, however the kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. The appliances were practically brand new and worked great! Beautiful hardwood floors, living room couch was really comfy. Lots of open areas for kids to play. There are a few little minor things that we noticed but overall the house as a whole was great. The house itself did need a little TLC...some doorknobs would fall off as they were missing the little screws (bedroom with patio door and bathroom), the bathtub jets did not work, some outside light bulbs were out however there were spares in the cupboard that we were able to change out no biggie...the bathroom does not have a lock on it, so beware if the doorknob falls off...your stuck in there until someone can turn the other knob, we managed. The washer in the kitchen is very touchy! If you stand too close to the machine and happen to graze the buttons it will start the load all over again or pause it...The car gate lock to the side door needs to be replaced, its old and does not lock...no biggie...There is only 1 small TV in the living room. That's about the only issues we had which are not MAJOR! Just a FYI...SO overall with everything considered it was a wonderful rental! The place is really lovely!! Thanks for a great rental...- Robin

NORMAN — University of Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops announced Sunday that Bill Bedenbaugh has joined the OU staff as offensive line coach. Bedenbaugh joins the Sooners after spending the previous two seasons in the same capacity at West Virginia University.
"We are excited to welcome Bill and his family to the University of Oklahoma," Stoops said. "Bill is a passionate teacher and a demanding coach who I believe will make an immediate impact on our football team. His track record of developing physical and disciplined offensive linemen makes him an excellent fit for our program. Bill is also an accomplished recruiter who will join the rest of our staff in continuing to attract some of the nation's most talented student-athletes to Oklahoma."
Entering his 18th season in the coaching profession, Bedenbaugh coached the offensive line the past two seasons at West Virginia as the Mountaineers set single-season school records for total offense (6,526 yards in 2012) and passing (4,509 yards in 2011). In 2012, the West Virginia offense ranked fifth in the nation in pass efficiency (161.97), ninth in scoring (39.5 ppg), 10th in total offense (502.0 ypg) and 10th in passing offense (330.2 ypg). Bedenbaugh was also named one of the nation's top 50 recruiters by 247Sports.com this year.
"Our family is thrilled about the opportunity to join Coach Stoops and his staff at the University of Oklahoma," said Bedenbaugh. "I have a great admiration for the championship tradition of Oklahoma football and can't wait to get on the field with our student-athletes this spring. I've admired the Sooners for many years, and possess a great appreciation for the talent on this roster and coaching staff."
Bedenbaugh previously worked four seasons under current OU associate head coach/defensive coordinator Mike Stoops at the University of Arizona. He served as co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach in 2010 after working as running game coordinator/offensive line coach for the Wildcats from 2007-09.

National Velvet is a 1944 Technicolor sports film based on the novel by Enid Bagnold, published in 1935. It stars Mickey Rooney, Donald Crisp and a young Elizabeth Taylor.[2][3] In 2003, National Velvet was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
National Velvet is the story of a twelve-year old girl, Velvet Brown (Elizabeth Taylor), in Sewels, Sussex, England, who wins a spirited gelding in a raffle and trains him for the Grand National steeplechase aided by her father's (Donald Crisp) hired hand: a young drifter, Mi Taylor (Mickey Rooney), who claims to have found Mrs. Brown's name and address among his late father's effects. Mi loathes horses; when he was a jockey in Manchester, he caused a collision which resulted in the death of another jockey. Velvet's horse is named "The Pie" (short for "Pirate", the epithet given him by his previous owner due to his misbehavior). She wins The Pie in a raffle, and convinces Mi to train them both for the Grand National. The night before the race, Velvet senses that the Latvian jockey hired to ride The Pie doesn't believe he can win. Rather than give up the race, Mi imagines he will overcome his fears and ride in the Latvian's place. Velvet has other ideas; she masquerades as the jockey and rides The Pie to victory. Elated by her win of the race, Velvet faints and falls from The Pie just after the finish. An objection is raised for the jockey's not staying in the saddle until reaching the winner's enclosure. A doctor discovers the fallen jockey is "an adolescent female"; Velvet becomes a media sensation, declining an offer of £5,000 to travel to Hollywood with The Pie to be filmed because "he wouldn't like being looked at." In the final scene of the film, Velvet rides off to reveal to a departing Mi that his father was Mrs. Brown's coach in her swim across the English Channel as a young woman.
The film differs from the book in many respects, from the colour of the horse and its name (in the book the horse is a piebald, named "The Piebald") to the appearance of Velvet and her mother, both of whom have been glamourised into very different people. Velvet, in the book, is plain, pale and sickly; her mother weighs 16 stone—224 pounds (102 kg).

Production notes[edit]
An 18-year-old Gene Tierney, who was then appearing on Broadway, was offered the role of Velvet Brown in 1939. Production was delayed, however, so Tierney returned to Broadway.[5] Much of the film was shot in Pebble Beach, California, with the most-scenic views on the Pebble Beach Golf Links[6] (with golf holes visible in the background). Elizabeth Taylor was given "The Pie" as a birthday gift after filming was over.
- "Summertime" - Elizabeth Taylor and MGM Studio and Orchestra Chorus Girls / Teacher

Creative Arts and Design > Graphic Design]
|Gerber, Anna and Lutz, Anja
This volume of almost 3000 entries, which begins with a definition of the 1978 book '100 Posters of Tadanori Yokoo' and concludes with the influential designer 'Zwart, Piet', set out to select the people, artefacts, performances, movements, concepts and theories that have been the catalysts for the development of contemporary graphic design.
With reference to their respective professional colleagues and students, the co-authors scoped the volume in terms of the entries and jointly researched each one. Each entry has two layers. The first was subjective and was researched and compiled by the co-authors. The second layer was subjective and is the contribution to the volume of the person who nominated for inclusion.
The volume also acknowledges that graphic designers select catalysts from a number of fields so that the entries include, to give examples the arcade game 'Xevious' (nominated by Quentaro Fujimoto, the photocopy machine (nominated by Tony Credland), the dance performance 'In the Upper Room' (nominated by Michael Bierut), 'Benetton Advertisements; (nominated by Thierry Brunfaut) and Frank Zappa (nominated by Pierre Di Sciullo).
The volume was designed to be a selectively and eclectically illustrated volume organised alphabetically. Thus a 1925 classic experimental typography design by Piet Zwart, a Xerox poster by Tony Credland, a modern photograph of Pierre Di Sciulls's Frank Zappa album collection and an Olivero Toscani photograph for a Benetton campaign, are all included as visual references.
Idea published an extract from Influences before the volume was published. A number of graphic and design journals noticed or reviewed Influences including Grafik and Form. A special issue of the publication Shift! was devoted to it.

Since the 1960's, when gold was first found along the Carlin Trend, northeastern Nevada has become the largest gold producing region in North and South America and the 4th largest gold producer in the world. This is not your great-great grandfathers' gold mining with picks and shovels; this is highly technical state of the art mining of microscopic gold.
The largest gold mine producing companies in the world, Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Mining Corporation both have significant open pit and underground gold mining operations in the area employing thousands of people and providing some of the best paying jobs in the state of Nevada.
Nevada is one of the special geologic places on the globe where wide arrays of minerals are prevalent, such as gold, silver, copper, barite, molybdenum, clay, silica, lithium, and many more. Even geothermal water is abundant in the state and mined for energy. Learn More.

1958 (Canton, OH)
Philly Soul, R&B, Pop-Soul, Funk, Disco, Soul
Principal Members:
Eddie Levert (b. June 16, 1942, Canton, OH): lead vocals (tenor)
Walter Williams (b. August 25, 1942, Canton, OH): vocals (baritone)
William Powell (b. January 20, 1942, Canton, OH; d. May 26, 1977, Canton, OH): vocals (falsetto)
Walter Williams (b. August 25, 1942, Canton, OH): vocals (baritone)
William Powell (b. January 20, 1942, Canton, OH; d. May 26, 1977, Canton, OH): vocals (falsetto)
Contributions to music:
- The main artists around which legendary label Philadelphia International was built
- The most successful of the "Philly Soul" groups, scoring a dozen R&B #1 hits from 1972-1989
- The most socially conscious of the Seventies soul groups, seamlessly merging protest messages and sweet soul
- Able to function equally well in soul, funk, R&B, and disco, and still cross over to the pop charts
- One of the longest-lived vocal groups in history, placing single on the charts for over four decades
Early years:
Although most popular as a trio, The O'Jays got their start in Canton, Ohio, as a five piece way back in the mid-Fifties, when McKinley High School students Levert, Williams, and Powell, along with Bill Isles and Bobby Massey, formed the Triumphs (later the Mascots) after watching a local performance by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. Cleveland DJ Eddie O'Jay featured them at several sockhops, suggesting they change their name to "O'Jay's boys." The modified name stuck, and by 1961 they were recording under it for Apollo and, later, the L.A. based Imperial label. They had some success, but no breakout hit.
Playing the Apollo theater in New York, the group, now a quartet, got some good advice from another soul group, The Intruders, who suggested they try out with the Neptune label, run by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. They scored their first Top Ten R&B hits around this time, and when the label folded, all but Massey decided to stick with the Gamble-Huff combo, despite offers from Motown. They soon became the cornerstone of the duo's new label, Philadelphia International, and scored an amazing, decade-defining run of soul classics starting with 1973's "Bsck Stabbers." Powell, sadly, died of cancer in 1977.
Later years:
Replacing him with Sammy Strain of Little Anthony and the Imperials, the group soldiered on, lasting through the disco wars and into the Eighties. Indeed, they still record today, even though their last major R&B hit hit the charts in 1991. Strain left around that time and was replaced by Nathaniel Best and then Eric Grant, which now comprises today's touring group. In 2002, the O'Jays were nominated for a Grammy for their album For The Love Of...; the group also tours with the Temptations, the Four Tops and the Whispers on a bill called the World's Greatest Vocal Groups.
Other facts:
- Levert and Williams sang gospel on Cleveland radio in the late Fifties as the Levert Brothers
- The group's first chart hit was 1965's "Lipstick Traces," a cover of a New Orleans soul classic by Benny Spellman
- The group's first Gamble-Huff production, 1968's "One Night Affair," was banned from AM radio due to its salacious lyrics
- In 2007, Sammy Strain sued the group, as well as the Gamble-Huff team, for over $15 million in back royalties
- Eddie Levert's late son Gerald was the founder of the hit Nineties urban R&B group Levert
- "For The Love Of Money" is used as the theme for the hit TV show The Apprentice
- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2005)
- Vocal Group Hall of Fame (2004)
- GRAMMY Hall of Fame (2006)

Usage Questions
In case, like me, you need a reminder of when to use "lay" and when to use "lie," go here.
Which reminds me, here's yet another picky, anachronistic but useful entry from Fowler's Modern English Usage, Second Edition (1926):
Parthian shot. It seems to be a coincidence that the popular corruption parting shot, which no doubt owes its origin to the similarity of sound, has a meaning akin to that of the parent phrase. Parthian shot refers to the tactics of the Parthian mounted archers, who would discharge a volley into the enemy while moving smartly out of range of retaliation; parting shot is ordinarily used to describe a 'last word' fired by one of the parties to an argument at the other before breaking off the verbal engagement. Although the Parthian tactics were undoubtedly formidable, it is a MISAPPREHENSION to use Parthian shot to mean merely an attack that strikes home; the essence of it is that the attack is made at the moment of retreat.

Presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Friday strongly denied claims by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) that he had not paid his taxes for several years in a row. Romney, speaking in front of supporters at McCandless Trucking in North Las Vegas, Nev., answered press questions about Reid's remarks, saying that he had "paid taxes every year -- a lot of taxes," and that Reid needed "to put up or shut up" regarding the sources behind his claims, as quoted by the Washington Post.
Romney has been under increased pressure from Reid and other prominent Democrats to release more of his tax returns. So far, he has only released returns dating back to 2010. On Friday, he repeated what his aides had already previously stated, that there had been no gaps or periods of time where he did not pay his taxes.
Here is some of the key information to come out of Romney's statements on Friday, as well as the ongoing debate over his tax returns.
* Democrats -- and some Republicans -- have been pressuring Romney for months to release his tax returns prior to 2010, although the stated reasoning behind each side's request has differed.
* Friday's comments by Romney stemmed from a statement by Reid the day before, where he told the media that "I was told by an extremely credible source that Romney has not paid taxes for 10 years," as quoted by the New York Times. Reid had originally made the same claims during an interview earlier in the week.
* Romney, in taking issue with Reid's claims during his appearance in North Las Vegas on Friday, said that Reid is making his assertions in order to distract from the latest report on U.S. unemployment. The national unemployment rate rose slightly to 8.3 percent over the last month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
* Romney was promoting his five-point economic plan to supporters on Friday, and said that the latest job report was a "hammer blow to struggling middle-class families," as quoted by CNN.

Detailed plans made for Craven Tour de France events
12:28pm Monday 13th January 2014 in News
With just six months to go before Le Tour comes to Craven, planning for the world's largest sporting event has begun in earnest.
Landowners and farmers have been approached about the use of their land for car parking and camping, an original task group has been split into two, and councillors are looking at bringing in event managers to Skipton.
Last week, Craven district councillors were shown a police DVD showing footage of last year's Le Tour which gave an idea of the scale of crowds.
Figures also shown to the council's audit and governance committee revealed two million spectators were expected over the two days in early July and it would take a whole hour for the racing cyclists, support teams and media to pass a single point.
Communications manager Sharon Hudson reassured members that the council was working with neighbouring authorities and its partners and everyone knew what was expected of them.
She added there was even a contingency plan if it rained – although she did point out it might be wise to pray for fine weather.
So far, there are several large-scale events being independently planned over the weekend of Le Tour Grand Depart, including the Rapha Tempest Festival at Broughton Hall and VeloFest at Kilnsey.
Mrs Hudson said there were also events being planned at Bolton Abbey and Grassington, and Kidstones Camping had been specially set up near Buckden to make the most of the hill climbs.
An advice evening for businesses wanting to make the most of Le Tour was held in November and there are two more planned, in Settle on Wednesday and an open meeting with Skipton Chamber of Trade on Tuesday, January 28.
She said the community task team had now been divided into two. The safety and resilience group would cover the event through Craven, working with partner agencies, and the Tour de France Safety Advisory Group would examine and advise on public safety for all big events planned to coincide with Le Tour.
She said officers were talking to 40 landowners across Craven and so far an additional 28,000 parking spaces had been identified and an extra 4,000 camping places.
In Skipton, additional funding had been promised by Skipton Business Improvement District (BID), but that depended on business ratepayers voting this month for the BID to continue for another five-year term.
There were also plans to outsource management of the planned spectator hub in Skipton to a management team.
"Skipton Town Council, who we are working with, are supportive of this approach," she said.
"They have a great track record of delivering events for the town but given the hub will operate over two sites we have to ensure it is resourced properly."
Dave Parker, chief officer of Skipton Town Council, said: "Operating the two locations within the town centre is a huge challenge logistically, given the numbers we expect to attend, and we simply don't have the resources between us to cover both the High Street and Coach Street sites.
"The town council's team will also need to cover the alternative market day on the Sunday, with its associated activities. The approach we've agreed with Craven Council makes sense."

My colleagues Nathalie Magnier (based in Levallois, France) and Phillip Koening (based in SAP headquarters in Walldorf) and I have already met Ilze Meintjes, the managing director, and Surisa Nel, a board member who helps out pro bono with marketing and strategy. In fact, Ilze and Surisa have driven us here.
The campus exudes peace. There seem to be no jacarandas here – at least none are in bloom. The surroundings are very green. We are told that the National Zoo lies just beyond. Apparently, on lucky days one can see the lions from here. On the other side is the city mortuary.
Inside we can hear a low hum of activity. Some 150 disabled people are employed by Employment Solutions. Many have been there for years. They come from as far away as Cullinan (known for its diamond mine) and Ga-Rankuwa, traveling two hours each way to work here. Another 800 are on the waiting list.
Ilze and Surisa give us a tour of the premises. We meet Christian, Ilze's son, who is deaf. He is the resident computer whiz and, at this moment, is fixing something on his mother's laptop. In a room down the corridor, several people are hard at work scanning barcodes from stacks of documents with an optical character reader. It's a quiet repetitive process – pick up a thin sheaf of printed paper from a pile, place it under the reader, make sure the barcode has scanned and drop it on another pile. Again and again, the employees go through the cycle rhythmically. Ilze explains that they are scanning barcodes from contracts of cell phones that have been delivered. The work is there thanks to VodaCom, a large wireless provider. Every morning, VodaCom delivers a stack of contracts to be scanned; the next morning, the company's agent picks it up.
Employment Solutions employs disabled people to do those jobs that cannot be easily mechanized in a factory environment. Typically, they are seen as labor-intensive chores. Yet these are often perfect for the disabled. In the case of the barcode scanners, they are all deaf. They would have found it difficult to work in a typical workplace, but here they function effectively.
In the next room, three more deaf employees are scanning documents for a company's archives. Another is shredding them manually. The shredder has broken down, and there is no money to buy a new one. (Such is the reality of NGOs in South Africa today.)
We make our way to other rooms. The work spans a range of activities – and a range of disabilities. Some people are cutting and bundling galvanized pipes to specifications; others are making clamps for gutters; yet others are creating leather gear knob covers for cars. There is a wheelchair repair unit, a sewing unit, a pottery and crafts unit. One person is using a 30-year-old machine to make clamps for automobile silencers.
Everyone looks happy. They wave at us and say hello. They smile. They wave again. Isabel, one of the managers, makes her way around the factory floor in a motorized wheelchair, making sure everything is going all right. She comes over to introduce herself.

Driver Charged In Late-Night Accident
One young man is hospitalized in serious condition and another was taken to jail after a mysterious car accident this weekend.
Monday Tryon Police are still piecing together the details of what happened early Saturday morning to send Colin Habenicht to the hospital with a closed head injury.
Police responded to 911 calls around 5:30 a.m. that a man had been struck by a car on Carolina Drive. When officers arrived they say Habenicht was laying in the 600 block in front of his family's home.
William Hannigan, 23, of Tryon was arrested at the scene and is charged with reckless driving and driving while intoxicated. He has since been released from Polk County Jail on $3,500 bond.
Police say when they arrived, Hannigan was waiting there near the black 1999 Ford Mustang that he had been driving and that it's unclear if there was a passenger.
Habenicht's father says he was out of town over the weekend, but that his son and Hannigan are friends and he believes they had been spending time at the house.
Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowwood says Hannigan has been cooperative and there were also several witnesses, people had been gathered at the house.
But officials say it's still unclear what exactly happened leading up to the incident.
Also part of the investigation - a neighbor said a young man that was delirious and bleeding from the head - knocked on her back door Saturday morning while police were out front at the scene. Officials say its unclear how or if that young man is connected to this incident but did say he was at Habenicht's house that night.
Monday Arrowwood was careful not to say conclusively that Hannigan actually hit his friend with the car, which could suggest something like car surfing was happening when Habenicht was injured.
Habenicht is in serious condition at Spartanburg Regional Hospital.
Highway patrol was at the scene Monday working on accident reconstruction.

Seven Stevenson High School students earned perfect scores on the ACT college-entrance exam this spring.
Five students posted the top composite score of 36 on the ACT that was given on the first day of the Illinois-mandated Prairie State Achievement Examination on April 24. The other two perfect scores were registered on April 14, one of six nationally scheduled test dates during the 2011-12 academic year. The seven students, all members of the Class of 2013, who earned scores of 36 were:
- Yamini Chandra, of Buffalo Grove
- Justin Doong, of Kildeer
- Sarina Jain, of Long Grove
- Zijing Li, of Buffalo Grove
- Adele Padgett, of Lake Forest
- Tianlu Wang, of Lake Zurich
- Vivian Wang, of Vernon Hills
Nationally, while the actual number of students earning a composite score of 36 varies from year to year, roughly one-tenth of 1 percent receive a top score. Among test takers in the high school graduating class of 2011, only 704 of more than 1.6 million students earned a composite score of 36.
The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1-36, and a student's composite score is the average of the four test scores.

The opera, written in the genre of opéra comique with musical numbers separated by dialogue, tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery Gypsy, Carmen. José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen's love to the glamorous toreador Escamillo, after which José kills her in a jealous rage. The depictions of proletarian life, immorality and lawlessness, and the tragic death of the main character on stage, broke new ground in French opera and were highly controversial. After the premiere, most reviews were critical, and the French public was generally indifferent.

Joy, on Using the MiniMed to Help Manage Her Childs Diabetes
- Medtronic Diabetes insulin infusion pumps, continuous glucose monitoring systems and associated components are limited to sale by or on the order of a physician and should only be used under the direction of a healthcare professional familiar with the risks associated with the use of these systems.
- Successful operation of the insulin infusion pumps and/or continuous glucose monitoring systems requires adequate vision and hearing to recognize alerts and alarms.
Medtronic Diabetes Insulin Infusion Pumps
- Insulin pump therapy is not recommended for individuals who are unable or unwilling to perform a minimum of four blood glucose tests per day.
- Insulin pumps use rapid-acting insulin. If your insulin delivery is interrupted for any reason, you must be prepared to replace the missed insulin immediately.
Medtronic Diabetes Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems
- The information provided by CGM systems is intended to supplement, not replace, blood glucose information obtained using a home glucose meter. A confirmatory fingerstick is required prior to treatment.
- Insertion of a glucose sensor may cause bleeding or irritation at the insertion site. Consult a physician immediately if you experience significant pain or if you suspect that the site is infected.

Within the next decade, the stereotypical space traveler may no longer be a square-jawed fighter pilot but a wealthy Internet geek with deep pockets.
Or at least that's what a crop of gutsy space entrepreneurs hope.
For half a century, venturing into space has been the primary domain of governments that can afford to spend billions of dollars to develop and send massive rockets into orbit. But modern-day industrialists believe a privately funded commercial space industry is poised to blast off.

David Fox and Sheila Mutter, founders and coordinators of San Anselmo's garden-bounty exchange, have won a Green Award.
The Quality of Life Commission at a recent meeting voted unanimously to give them the award, aimed at honoring "unsung heroes" who have benefited the town without seeking recognition.
The award will be presented at the Town Council meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 12.
The garden exchange, held Saturdays from 9 to 10 a.m. from June through October, started at in 2008. It later shifted to the Town Hall lawn.
The Quality of Life Commission had endorsed the basic concept — which is to have backyard gardeners swap excess fruit, veggies and other garden products — and the move.
Each weekly exchange has been drawing 25 to 30 people, with a total of "three to four dozen actively involved," Fox says.
Participants, notes Mutter, "also trade advice and ideas."
"No money changes hands, ever," she adds. "Our main objective is to encourage local, sustainable behaviors related to food, build community, and to redirect produce rather than let it go to waste."
One of the adjunct, free services offered by the exchange, explains Fox, is "gleaning — going to someone's house and picking fruit from a tree they either can't handle themselves or aren't interested in picking. We give the owner as much as they want and take the rest to a local food bank."
The exchange also matches gardeners with land to share with someone looking for a place to grow.
On any given Saturday an assortment of green items appears at the exchange, which is operated in cooperation with Sustainable San Anselmo under the rubric of the Marin Open Garden Project.
Most of what's traded is routine, but "one guy's always bringing dried fruit," says Fox, "and another has brought a huge box of figs taken from a tree in his yard — he just never liked figs."
Dozens of varieties of tomatoes have been swapped, and, Fox continues, "gorgeous carrots of all different colors — purple, red and pink as well as yellow."
The success of Mutter and Fox's efforts can be visualized by perusing a partial list of what's already been exchanged: apple sauce, apricots, arugula, basil, bay leaves, beans, beets, bok choy, bread (home baked), broccoli, cakes, carrots, catnip, chard, chives, daffodil bulbs, honeysuckle, hot tea, jalapenos, lavender, leeks, lemonade, lemon grass, lettuce, muffins, olive trees, onions, peaches, pears, peppers, pies, plums, pumpkins, quiches, radishes, rosemary, seeds, squash, string beans, tomatoes, wine vinegar, worm castings and zucchini.
In addition, flats of vegetable plants have been donated by — plants that although still fine for food production couldn't be sold because they didn't look perfect.
Similar garden exchanges exist in Fairfax, Mill Valley, Novato and San Rafael.
For Mutter, San Anselmo's exchange was partially an organic development stemming from the gardening she's done since her early 20s, and her reading magazine pieces by Michael Pollan well before he authored The Omnivore's Dilemma.
Her children also influenced her, when they were enrolled at in the green-oriented SEA-DISC program.
She's lived in San Anselmo since 1998, where, she contends, people are "much more aware of environmental issues than other parts of the country."
Fox, who's been in the town since 1983 and was a prime mover in getting San Anselmo to offer free parking for all-electric vehicles, first became interested in the environment as a child when he read about the world's population explosion.
His green education was aided by his having avocado, lemon and tangerine trees behind his home, "always allowing me to pull fruit from my back yard."
Fox and Mutter agree that one of the unexpected benefits they get from the exchange is making friends with people encountered there.
Both voice pride at the garden exchange's growth, and both cite a new tradition that's taken hold, having a potluck by participants on the Town Hall lawn the last Saturday of each season.
The duo will become the 19th winner of the Green Award. Earlier citations were given Jeff Hvid, Dick Miner, Conn Rusche, Charles Kennard, the team of Steve Reinertsen and Scott Weeks, Sita Khufu, Rohana McLaughlin, Joyce Brown, Larry Nilsen, Matt Eakle, Ted Bakkila, Christine Dietrich Cragg, Bob Mellin, H.G. Von Dallwitz, Denali Gillaspie, Jonathan Braun, Dan Goltz and the husband-wife team of Janet Byrum and Bob Fleming.
Nominations can be hand-delivered or mailed to:
Quality of Life Commission, c/o Town of San Anselmo, 525 San Anselmo Ave., or e-mailed to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School Superintendent Scott Carpenter had high words of praise for the recipients of this year's Superintendent Awards for Excellence.
Two boys stood out in a field of students who all achieve high levels of academic and personal excellence, Carpenter said. He said after numerous conversations with staff and counselors, he chose Sam Chen and Jeremy Cohen for the awards.
Carpenter said Chen, 17, opted to take L-S's most challenging courses and has done exceedingly well in all of them. He also noted Chen's role as a mentor for young boys who play lacrosse.
"Every lacrosse parent wants their son to work with Sam," he said.
Carpenter described Cohen, 18, as "driven to succeed but also rooted in reality." He noted Cohen's role as a leader on the school's successful debate team.
The awards were given to them at the start of Tuesday night's School Committee meeting at the high school.
"That was the highlight of this meeting," one committee member commented.

Original 'Dora the Explorer' reports to Christ Church
Date: April 30, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
During her career, Longboat Observer Senior Editor Dora Walters has covered countless long meetings, the longest of which ended at 3:30 a.m., after eight hours of debate.
Walters, who spoke at Christ Church of Longboat Key, Presbyterian's potluck April 22, challenged church members to guess the group that held the eight-hour meeting.
"The Longboat Key Town Commission," one member guessed.
"No," Walters replied. It was in the 1970s, and the Sarasota County School Board was discussing how long boys' sideburns should be allowed to grow.
Audience members laughed and, occasionally, gasped as Walters shared some of the more memorable events that she has covered.
Walters moved to Sarasota approximately 40 years ago. She freelanced for the St. Petersburg Times and the now defunct Sarasota News before Channel 13 news assigned her to cover anything south of the Skyway Bridge. She was the station's first female TV photographer and reporter in the area.
Walters was often on the scene of breaking late-night stories and had to drive through rural areas and crime scenes, accompanied only by her protective German shepherd, Bella.
Walters began working for The Longboat Observer in 1986. At that time, she said, the Observer processed film in its only bathroom.
Walters detailed the changes she has witnessed during her time on Longboat Key, including the development of much of the island, the creation of Joan M. Durante Park and the formation of a new church — "your own," she told the group.
She said if she were to write a book about her life, she would call it "The Ringside Seat on the World, My Specific World."
When Walters finished her presentation, Christ Church members applauded. They thanked her with a purple ribbon bearing the picture of another famous Dora: Dora the Explorer.
