Microscopic scratches can lead to cloudy glasses
Wineglasses that come out of the dishwasher cloudy may not necessarily be the result of lousy detergent or a weak dishwasher, but instead the blame may lie with the manufacturing process.
Although the type of detergent you use may aggravate the dirty appearance, materials scientists at Lehigh University said forces of fundamental science are more to blame.
Researchers at Lehigh discovered that the milky band found in the glass bowl is actually a network of microscopic scratches that form as manufacturers make the glass. These cracks are not visible when you examine your new wineglass against the light before purchasing it.
But repeated washings in the dishwasher cause the glass in the wineglass "bowl" to dissolve slightly. This in turn causes the tiny cracks to spread and to scatter light, giving the bowl a dirty appearance.
Unilever, an international maker of household consumer products, funded the three-year study led by Himanshu Jain, Diamond professor and chair of materials science and engineering at Lehigh.
Jain began the study by assembling a variety of new, not-yet-washed wineglasses. "The as-received glassware appeared clear and transparent to the unaided eye," he said. Upon closer examination with optical microscopy however, he noticed "grooves and scratches of sub-micrometer size along the circumference of the bowl."
"The existence of these microscopic surface defects, even before washing, suggests that they were created during the manufacturing process and/or subsequently to forming during handling," Jain's team wrote in a paper.
After making this discovery, Jain and his colleagues washed the glasses for as many as 100 cycles in three detergent solutions ranging from benign to harsh. They observed that the glasses washed in the benign solution containing no sodium disilicate remained clear and transparent.
The glasses washed in solutions containing 0.7 grams and 1.5 grams of sodium disilicate per liter, however, corroded around the center of the glass bowl—"exactly where the scratches and grooves were found before the sample was washed," the researchers noted. Glasses washed with the harsher solutions also turned blue and other colors near the rim, they said.
Ironically, Jain's group found the most aggressive dishwashing solutions do not cause the most visible scratching. That is because these solutions cause all of the glass to dissolve at the same fast rate. The resulting bowl is thinner but still transparent, and may break in the dishwasher before it takes on the telltale cloudy look of corrosion.
Most consumers who file complaints, Jain said, are using a midrange dishwashing detergent, which causes the preformed scratches on the glass to dissolve more quickly than the rest of the glass, and thus acquire the corroded or cloudy look.
Wineglass and dishwashing detergent companies receive more complaints in Europe than in the U.S., said Jain. This may be due to the fact that, especially in Germany and The Netherlands, dishes are washed at higher temperatures than in the U.S., which enhance the problem.
Unilever's Joseph Carnali said the company made "subtle" changes in the composition of its dishwashing detergents as a result of the study to reduce the amount of the ingredients known to cause corrosion. Carnali also said washing the wineglasses by hand prevents the glass bowl from clouding.

You might recall that I wasn't even all that interested in home ownership. But a project like this just seeps into everything, almost like an obsession you can't quit (really, you can't or we might have tried at some point).
I looked at moving in to our incomplete house mostly like a camping experience, which is fun for a weekend but… a whole month? Two months? Three months?
Do you ever think about your toilet? Do you even like it? Whittling things down to essentials, it turns out a toilet is pretty much house MVP.
A cornice is another one of those things that seems FOR REAL boring. When things are boring, it's hard to spend money on them, like laundry detergent or floss. But you have to because dirty clothes and rotten teeth.
disgusting diy
THE SMELL. I couldn't take it. It flooded your nostrils as soon as you opened the front door and hung on to you like an awful wool blanket in hot heat.
Happy hour is great until the next morning, when you've got to throw up a pony tail and try not to puke while learning to lay tile so you can have a bathroom floor, because you really need a toilet in your days-away home.
I've been going to the bathroom in a Home Depot bucket for months at this point, usually in my future bedroom closet.
It's weird being in a house for so long that doesn't actually have any walls, or bathroom even.
Even if we had wanted to give up, we hadn't quite figured out how to.
I try to warn you so hard.
For a house from 1875, this place is extremely lacking in charm.
With bated breath, I agreed to the black-market permits.
One casual afternoon, D was down in the basement working on something or other (I was at work). A man walked inside, claiming to be an inspector from licensing and inspection.
What do you do when you find a bone in your house? Do you call someone? And who? And then what? Does your home become some archeological crime scene?
We used cobbled together pieces of plywood to walk around on, because you know, we still had work to do up there and all. Can't let a lack of FLOORING get in the way of our big plans.
The house is still more or less a construction zone except I LIVE IN IT NOW
home decor
I offer this story as a cautionary tale, to dispel the pizzazz of 2-day HGTV renovation shows, and give my humble take on what's appropriate to DIY and what really ought to be left to the pros.
home improvement
I've spent more time debating a shoe purchase than I did my first house.
household drama
Do visions of mouse poo, buried bones, beer bottles of piss and used condoms strung about like Christmas lights spell Home, Sweet Home to you? Me, too!

Would You Let Your Baby Wear a Bikini?
August 23, 2010
by Kate Goodin
© Babi-kini
Girls are growing up fast these days, between Botox, pole dancing, and skinny jeans all happening at young ages. But this is a new one, bringing it all down to a new low: string bikinis on infants!
Yep, string bikinis. Not two-piece suits. Made by Babi-kini, these are most definitely the kind of bikinis that you tie with strings, and come in various patterns including zebra and leopard prints (!!). This seems more than a little inappropriate for anyone whose age doesn't end in -teen or up.
I do see the appeal of the two-piece style -- what mom would want to peel a gotta-go-now kid or change a fussy baby with a one-piece? But it turns out these string bikinis aren't even practical -- the website says they're not meant to be worn with diapers! (Yet they sell a size to fit birth - one year...do we sense another ridiculous parenting product?).
CafeMom's Sasha Brown-Worsham stated her case against letting her daughter ever wear an itty-bitty bikini:
"It's not that I'm against bikinis. I just think they're sexy. And sexy? Has no place on a preschooler."
Moms, would you let your daughter wear one of these?

I first wrote about the NLRB's decision that pre-dispute arbitration agreements waiving the right to assert claims as part of a class action violated federal labor law in January 2012 (post). Back then, I thought it was prudent for employers to wait for the result of the the inevitable appeal that would follow before revising or throwing out their arbitration agreements containing class action waivers. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held recently that D.R. Horton's pre-dispute arbitration agreement requiring the builder and its employees to arbitrate disputes on an individual, non-class action basis did not violate the NLRA. The Court affirmed, however, the Board decision . . .
The resumption of commercial horse slaughter in the United States was blocked on Friday, January 17, when President Obama signed a congressional budget bill that removed funding for USDA inspection of horse slaughter plants. This action on the part of Congress and the President effectively takes horse slaughter in this country off the table for now. A similar federal budget measure passed in 2006 shuttered the industry in 2007. Money for federal inspections of horse meat was restored in 2011, and several proposed plants have received USDA permits. However, court orders in suits brought by animal rights activists and others have stopped any horse . . .

Momma Manning Didn't Raise No Dummy
By packeraaron on Apr 17, 2009 with 0 Comments
It really comes as no surprise to see Eli Manning lobbying publicly for the Giants to trade for Braylon Edwards. Even with all his horrible drops factored in, Edwards is light-years more talented than any receiver currently on the Giants' roster, but more than that, Manning doesn't want to repeat the last month of 2008, when defenses no longer had to worry about keeping a safety over the top of Plaxico and were free to bring 8 or even 9 down in the box to stop the Giants' vaunted running game. Once that happened, the other perimeter players failed to make plays for Manning and offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.

"Oklahoma!" at The Kweskin Theatre in Stamford
Curtain Call is celebrating the 70th anniversary of Oklahoma!'s Broadway debut with a run of the show at the Kweskin Theatre that opens this Friday. It's a play that was born at Richard Rodgers' Connecticut home and debuted at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven, so the local connections are strong with this one. It was a key milestone in the development of the modern musical, an extension of what was first accomplished seriously with Show Boat — integrating songs into the play that developed and advanced the plot line. Generally speaking, it tells the tale of an old west love story that encounters many bumps in the road set against a backdrop of cowboys and Indians.

"[I]t would impose a ban on a woman's right to choose an elective, nontherapeutic (sic) abortion before viability, House Bill 1037, if it became law, would squarely contradict Supreme Court precedent. When I was sworn in as Governor I took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend both the Arkansas Constitution and the Constitution of the United States. I take that oath seriously"
Immediately after overriding the governor's veto, the Arkansas Senate passed the Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act [SB 134, PDF] to restrict abortions after 12 weeks, which Beebe has previously said he would veto. The Senate's override makes Arkansas the eighth US state to ban or restrict abortions after 20 weeks. Similar laws restricting reproductive rights [JURIST backgrounder] are currently facing legal challenges in Arizona and Georgia [JURIST reports].

For Immediate Release
Contact: Mark Genovese, 518.782.9400, ext. 353
NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 2, 2011 - Thousands of New York's nurses from some of the city's biggest and most profitable hospitals are angry at the lack of action from management at their institutions in contract bargaining - and are taking their case to the radio airwaves.
A new 60-second ad is set to run beginning on Monday, Dec.5 on several New York-area stations. It takes Montefiore, Mt. Sinai and St.Luke's-Roosevelt executives to task for their lack of concern about safe staffing for their patients and affordable health care for the nurses, who are the backbone of the city's hospitals.
The ad is voiced by Karine Raymond, a working nurse from Montefiore, and professional producer Dani Suzanne Smith.
The ad is part of a coordinated contract campaign by the state Nurses Association to win fair contracts that provide the best possible patient care, affordable health care for nurses and their families, and decent wages.
Nurses at St. Luke's-Roosevelt have already authorized a strike if no progress halts in their talks; Montefiore and Mt. Sinai will complete strike votes this weekend.
The text of the ad follows:
"NYC is famous for its great hospitals.
But these hospitals can't function without their thousands of registered nurses - like me, Karine Raymond from Montefiore.
Our employer refuses to increase the number of nurses at the bedside, compromising our ability to give you the care we believe you deserve.
Sadly for patients, hospital executives are acting disgracefully in talks with nurses, even those hospitals are successful and profitable.
It's shameful that hospitals like mine want to slash our health care coverage, making quality care less affordable for front-line nurses.
But we are standing up for decent benefits for our families, just like we stand up for you, our patients.
Please support me and my co-workers as we defend patients' rights as well as our own.
This message is brought to you by the registered nurses of Montefiore, Mt. Sinai, St. Luke's-Roosevelt and the rest of the 37,000 members of the New York State Nurses Association...Please stand with us in our fight for fairness and health care."
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

Biel, Timberlake marry in secret?
9:47am Monday 20th August 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are rumoured to have tied the knot in secret.
The engaged couple, who have been dating on and off since 2007, have been tight-lipped about their wedding plans, with Jessica even saying recently that they hadn't started planning their big day.
But the internet is now buzzing with marriage rumours after gossip website JanetCharlton.com reported that they "pulled a fast one on everybody" and got hitched at the weekend.
Jessica and Justin, who rarely speak publicly about their romance, apparently exchanged vows at a private estate in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the place where Justin is thought to have popped the question late last year.
The Sun reports that wedding cake designer Sylvia Weinstock also revealed that she was in Jackson Hole, adding more weight to the rumours.
Earlier this month Total Recall star Jessica, 30, insisted she wasn't rushing to plan her wedding with Justin, 31, because she was enjoying being engaged so much.
She said: "You're in this romantic, ahhhhh, breathless moment that I'm just trying to extend as long as possible."

NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees have added depth to their bullpen, acquiring right-hander Shawn Kelley from the Seattle Mariners for minor league outfielder Abraham Almonte.
The teams announced the trade Wednesday night.
The 28-year-old Kelley went 2-4 with a 3.25 ERA in 47 appearances for Seattle last season and figures to fill a middle-relief role with the Yankees. He was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Feb. 7 when the club signed catcher Kelly Shoppach.
About a week earlier, Kelley and the Mariners agreed to a $935,000, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration. Kelley is 10-9 with a 3.52 ERA in four big league seasons, all with Seattle.
Almonte, 23, batted .276 with four homers, 25 RBIs and 30 steals in 78 games for Double-A Trenton last season.

Book Description: The national bestselling author of The Preacher's Son and So You Call Yourself A Man returns with a scandalously spirited new novel about a woman who knows she's her husband's First Lady--but doesn't want to be his last... Charlene Wilson, First Lady of First Jamaica Ministries, has lived a good life with two wonderful children and her beloved husband, Bishop T.K. Wilson. Now the Lord is calling her home at the age of forty-four. She's ready to go, but what will happen to T.K. after she's gone? The Bishop may be a man of God, but he's still a man who needs a woman. Trouble is, T.K. is just as naïve as any other man when it comes to women--especially slick-ass, bible-toting, man-hungry church women. That's why Charlene has planned a way to hang around in spirit--to make sure her replacement is a good one. First in line is Marlene, the mother of T.K.'s illegitimate daughter, Tanisha. Then there's Monique Johnson, First Lady of Plastic Surgery and Implants. The only thing real about Monique is how much she wants T.K. Next is Savannah Dickens, the church's attractive new choir soloist, who's also the daughter of a prominent church elder. And last but not least is Charlene's good friend, Sister Lisa Mae Johnson, widow of Pastor Lee Jones. With the help of her friend Alison, Charlene anticipates any scenario that might occur in a series of letters addressed to the lucky ladies. Alison has vowed to keep an eye on T.K.'s social life and deliver them as needed. No one else knows about the letters, but rest assured, they will shake up a whole lot of people. Charlene may soon be gone, but her presence will be felt...

What's the best credit card?
AmEx, Discover top J.D. Power's customer-satisfation ranking.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
J.D. Power just released the results of its 2010 Credit Card Satisfaction Study. The results were based on responses from more than 8,500 credit card customers in May and June. For a fourth consecutive year, the No. 1 credit card issuer in customer satisfaction was American Express, with a total score of 769 out of 1,000. Discover Card was a close second with a score of 757.
The ratings were based on one to five stars in each category, with five stars representing the highest rating. There were a few surprises, which we'll cover. But first, here are the complete results:
Best credit cards, according to J.D. Power:
Company | Overall | Terms | Rewards | Benefits | Billing/ Payment | Customer Service | Problem Solving |
American Express | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
Bank of America | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
Barclaycard | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
Capital One | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
Chase | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
Citi | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
Discover | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
U.S. Bank | 4 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
Wells Fargo | 3 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
J.D. Power summarized the results of the study:
American Express ranks highest in customer satisfaction for a fourth consecutive year with a score of 769 and performs well across all six factors that drive satisfaction. Discover Card follows with a score of 757 and performs particularly well in the interaction factor. U.S. Bank ranks third with a score of 727. The common denominators of performance among the highest-ranked issuers are exceptional rewards and benefits offerings; superior service experiences across phone and online channels; and a focus on reducing problems and resolving those that do occur with minimum time and effort for customers.
According to a J.D. Power press release, overall customer satisfaction with credit cards rebounded from a three-year low in 2009. While overall satisfaction increased, consumers are still skeptical that credit card issuers have their best interests at heart. Interestingly, only 22% of those surveyed said they "definitely will not switch" their primary credit card in the next 12 months. Last year 25% said they would remain loyal to their primary card.
The study also separated results between "revolvers" (those who carry a balance from month to month) and "transactors" (those who pay their balance in full each month). Among revolvers, 29% reported that the interest rate they paid increased in 2010, while only 21% of transactors reported a rate increase. This is likely due to the fact that transactors, on the whole, have higher credit scores and can qualify for low-interest credit cards.
What's your take?
Some things in the survey were expected; other things were a surprise to me. It's no surprise that American Express ranked No. 1 again. I've carried the American Express Gold Card for years (Premier Rewards version), and the rewards and customer service are first rate. And the Starwood credit card is a top-rated travel card.
I'm also not surprised about Discover Card's high rankings. I've carried the Discover More card (I know, I have a lot of cards!) for years. The rewards, particularly cash-back rewards, are top-notch, and the Discover website is best in class.
I'm a little surprised by Citi's relatively poor showing. I've banked at Citi for 20 years. Like any big bank, there are plenty of folks who have had issues with Citi, myself included. But overall, the experience has been good. As for credit cards, the rankings that surprise me are its two star in terms and rewards. While Citi doesn't offer the best cash-back rewards today, its balance-transfer offers are without doubt the best in class.
So, did J.D. Power get it right? Who do you think offers the best credit cards?

I guess it's just something to hold onto, and believe in when times are hard.
so people have something to blame for all the wars.
If you don't think it's fair ... don't join one.
Nobody is forcing you to join/follow a religion.
So that churches can be filled to capacity?
None, I say.
There's sooooooo many things people don't understand!!! I'd tell the point of "religion" but to save u from hours of talking I won't:(
Jesus>religion "I hate religion but love god"
What makes you think 9-11 had ANYTHING to do with GOD? Because some psychopaths said? These are people doing the work of Satan. Just like the westboro idiots. And by this question and many others like it, you have fallen for his tricks, blame God and turn away from Him. How sad.
The point of Christian religions is love and salvation (eternal life). The problems to which you refer are brought about when religion is politicized or represents government. Separation of religion and government is how our Constitution is written. So we do not go to war in the name of religion as some governments have done. We join in war efforts to maintain stability in the world. We also work for human rights.
There would be wars and dying without religion probably more. religion isn't the issue it's people. the point of Religion is to practice and profess what you believe in. and you do that because it keeps you grounded and at peace.
2. there is an All-Powerful God and only 1 and he has the power to fix it and he will in the second coming. But God is giving people the freedom of choice. he loves you/ everyone and wants you to choose to follow him
THANK YOU!!!! Finally someone with enough sense to realize religion is pointless!!!!!!
Because people did not have science and so they had to explain everything with something.
It is my view that religion came out of our evolutionary desire to understand the world around us as a coping mechanism. While I think homo sapiens have out-grown the need for religion, I cannot say adhering to a religion is unfair if the adherents are accepting of its dogma and strictures. I think there are many people who are forced to engage in practices they wouldn't engage in otherwise, but that is only judging them by my own moral and ethical views. For instance, my world view sees the wearing of a hijab as demeaning, but those who follow that practice see it as an act of worship.
Well, people in the past barely knew anything about the world so they make up stuff...
What is the primary cause of war? It's our wicked hearts. Religion and ideology are simply the means through which we exercise the wickedness in our hearts. To think, as many outspoken atheists do, that if we can somehow remove our "impractical need for religion," we can somehow create a more peaceful society, is to have a mistaken view of human nature. The testimony of human history is that if we remove religion, something else will take its place, and that something is never positive. The reality is that true religion keeps fallen humanity in check; without it, wickedness and sin would reign supreme.
Even with the influence of true religion, Christianity, we will never see peace in this current age. There is never a day without some conflict somewhere in the world. The only cure for war is the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ! When Christ returns as He has promised, He will close this current age and establish eternal peace.http://www.gotquestions.org/religion-war.html

Bay Area residents have been thinking about the environment since before the first passenger stepped aboard a BART train in 1972 and BART riders are still helping keep emissions down and keep our sky blue today. When you choose BART, you're riding the lightest subway cars in the world, so they use less energy. You're riding on trains that are 100% electric and get two-thirds of that power from clean hydro and renewable energy sources. When BART trains brake, 80% of braking energy is used to power other trains. Read more about BART's environmental credentials.

Subsection (a). This subsection is derived
from Goldstein v. Gontarz, 364 Mass. 800, 807–814,
309 N.E.2d 196, 202–206 (1974) (extensive discussion of principles and
authorities), and Leavitt v. Glick Realty Corp., 362 Mass. 370, 372, 285
N.E.2d 786, 787–788 (1972). The exclusion covers (1) evidence offered by the
plaintiff that the defendant is insured, (2) evidence offered by the defendant
that the plaintiff has received third-party compensation for an injury, (3)
evidence offered by the defendant that he or she is not protected by insurance,
and (4) evidence offered by the plaintiff that he or she has no resort to insurance
or other coverage for the loss. Goldstein v. Gontarz,
364 Mass. at 808–810, 309 N.E.2d at 202–203.
Subsection (b). This subsection is derived
from Fed. R. Evid. 411 and Proposed Mass. R. Evid. 411 and is consistent with Massachusetts law. Evidence
of insurance coverage may be admissible where the issue of control over the
covered premises is disputed because the jury could properly infer "that the
defendants would not have deemed it prudent to secure indemnity insurance on
[an area] not within their control, or for the careless management or defective
condition of which they could not be held responsible." Perkins v. Rice,
187 Mass. 28, 30, 72 N.E. 323, 324 (1904). A blanket insurance policy covering more than one location is not, however, admissible
to show control. See Camerlin v.
Marshall, 411 Mass. 394, 398, 582 N.E.2d 539, 542 (1991).
Evidence of insurance coverage or lack
thereof may be admissible to establish the bias of a witness. Goldstein v. Gontarz, 364 Mass. 800, 812, 309 N.E.2d 196, 205 (1974).
See Corsetti v. Stone Co., 396 Mass. 1,
16–21, 483 N.E.2d 793, 801–804 (1985); McDaniel v. Pickens, 45 Mass.
App. Ct. 63, 66–67, 695 N.E.2d 215, 217–218 (1998); Commonwealth v. Danis, 38 Mass. App. Ct. 968, 968, 650 N.E.2d 802, 803
(1995). See also Masters v. Khuri, 62 Mass. App. Ct. 467, 471–472, 817
N.E.2d 811, 815 (2004); Harris-Lewis v. Mudge, 60 Mass. App. Ct. 480, 487–488, 803
N.E.2d 735, 741–742 (2004).
Due to Prejudicial Effect. Evidence
of an insurance policy may still be excluded where its prejudicial effect
substantially outweighs its probative value after contemplating the
effectiveness of a limiting instruction. See Goldstein v. Gontarz, 364 Mass. at 812–813, 309 N.E.2d at 205. See
also Shore v. Shore, 385 Mass. 529, 530–532, 432 N.E.2d 526, 528 (1982)
(appropriate instructions could have cured possible prejudice from excluded evidence
of insurance policy). But see McDaniel v. Pickens, 45 Mass. App. Ct. at
70, 695 N.E.2d at 219 (raising but not reaching the issue of "whether jurors
have attained to such a level of sophistication that they can take insurance
and related things in stride when properly instructed" [citations omitted]).
Source Rule. Evidence of collateral source payments is generally not
admissible to reduce the amount of damages recoverable, but may be admissible
if probative of a relevant issue, such as impeaching the plaintiff's credibility
or showing motive. See Corsetti v. Stone
Co., 396 Mass. 1, 16–21, 483 N.E.2d 793, 801–804 (1985); Savers Prop.
& Cas. Ins. Co. v. Admiral Ins. Agency, Inc., 61
Mass. App. Ct. 158, 165–166, 807 N.E.2d 842, 848–849 (2004), and cases
cited; Rolanti v. Boston Edison Corp.,
33 Mass. App. Ct. 516, 524–525, 603 N.E.2d 211, 218 (1992).
The full amount of a medical or hospital bill
is admissible as evidence of the reasonable value of the services rendered to
the injured person, even where the amount actually paid by a private or public
insurer is less than that amount. The actual amount paid by insurance is not
admissible, but the defendant may offer evidence to establish the range of
payments accepted by that provider for that particular service. Law v.
Griffith, 457 Mass. 349, 353–354, 930 N.E.2d 126, 130–131 (2010). See G. L. c. 233,
§ 79G. The court may instruct the jury that any amounts paid by insurance
are subject to recoupment by the payor. Scott v.
Garfield, 454 Mass. 790, 801, 912 N.E.2d 1000, 1010 (2009). The amounts
actually paid to the health providers by the health insurer must be redacted on
medical bills admitted into evidence. Id.
Unless it is relevant for some other purpose,
evidence of a settlement with another defendant is not admissible to reduce the
amount of damages, but the court should make the appropriate deduction after
the verdict. Morea v. Cosco,
Inc., 422 Mass. 601, 603, 664 N.E.2d 822, 824 (1996). In most cases, the
verdict in a motor vehicle liability case will be reduced by the amount of any personal
injury protection benefits received by the plaintiff. G. L. c. 90,
§ 34M. In a medical malpractice case, the defendant may, at a postverdict hearing, offer evidence to the court as to the
amount of medical bills that have been covered by insurance. The amount of any
such bills, less the amount of any premiums paid by the plaintiff for one year
prior to the accrual of the cause of action, shall be deducted from the
itemized verdict. This procedure does not apply to any payor
who has subrogation rights based on any Federal law. G. L. c. 231,

Ilya Bryzgalov may be growing weary of the goaltending carousel in Philadelphia, as the 32-year-old netminder spoke his mind prior to the Flyers' Tuesday night game against the New York Islanders.
When asked by the Courier-Post about the team's decision to sign newly-acquired netminder Steve Mason to a contract extension earlier this week and whether or not he was worried about the possibility of a compliance buyout, the usually-candid Russian did not disappoint in his response.
"To be honest, I don't care," he said. "Really, I don't care. I have no control on this, so why should I care?"
Signed by the Flyers to a nine-year, $51 million contract by the Flyers in the summer of 2011, Bryzgalov's tenure in Philadelphia has been characterized by colourful quotes and the inability to post the kind of elite numbers that made him an All-Star with the Phoenix Coyotes.
Bryzgalov was also ambivalent when asked about the possibility of remaining a Flyer beyond this season.
"You know, I have no control in this," he said. "I can't read the people's mind. I can't project things what they're thinking, that's why I'm not worried about things I can't control. I maybe want one thing and they want a different thing."
Bryzgalov has a 17-15-3 record with Philadelphia this season with an .896 save percentage and a 2.88 goals-against average.
When asked if he'd enjoy his off day by heading to the Beach on Long Island, the Russian was quick to make light of the situation.
"You can call it whatever you want, but it's not a beach," he told reporters. "A beach is somewhere in the Caribbean, somewhere in Florida where it's warm and you can swim. Here is dark water."
The Flyers - who have made the postseason every year since finishing with a league-low 56 points in 2006-07 - are in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, five points out of a playoff spot.
The team has been in search for a long-term impact goaltender since Ron Hextall emerged as a standout in the 1987 Stanley Cup playoffs. The team has made two trips to the Final since then relying on the likes of Brian Boucher and Michael Leighton.
Bryzgalov - who has posted a combined save percentage of just under .905 in a season and a half in Philly - has seven years and $34.5 million left on his contract and the salary cap is due to drop from $70.2 million this season to $64.3 million next season.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Jook makes you a roving radio station
Gaming peripheral maker Razer has decided to try its hand in the social music scene with its subsidiary Jook Inc. The company has developed a new technology--aptly called Jook--that allows users of any MP3 player to share music with others in the same vicinity. It consists of two parts: a transmitter that plugs into any MP3 player (via either a 3.5mm headphone jack connection or proprietary dock based on the player) and an indicator light that hangs from down the front of the user as part of the headphone cable. A button or switch on either the transmitter or … Read more

[JURIST] Ohio prison officials on Tuesday conducted the first execution using a new single-drug lethal injection protocol. Death row inmate Kenneth Biros was executed after the US Supreme Court [official website] rejected [order, PDF] a last-minute stay application Tuesday morning. The US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit had rejected [opinion, PDF] Biros's application for a stay of execution on Monday after overturning [JURIST report] a previous stay issued by the district court last month. Biros's attorneys had argued that the use of the new procedure constitutes human experimentation, but some commentators have said that the single-drug protocol is more humane than the previous three-drug method. Biros was convicted of a 1991 murder and attempted rape.Ohio became the first state to adopt [JURIST report] the single-drug protocol last month. The state undertook a review of its lethal injection practices in September after the planed execution of inmate Romell Broom failed [JURIST reports] when a suitable vein for the drugs' administration could not be found. The new protocol consists of the intravenous injection of a single anesthetic, and provides for the intramuscular injection of two other drugs if an appropriate vein cannot be found.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] heard oral arguments [day call, PDF; merit briefs] Tuesday in two cases related to "honest services" fraud. In Black v. United States [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the Court heard arguments on the appeal of Canadian-born former media mogul Conrad Black [CBC profile; JURIST news archive]. The Court is considering whether the honest services clause of 18 USC § 1346 [text] applies in cases where there is no finding that the defendant or defendants "reasonably contemplated identifiable economic harm" in cases of mail and wire fraud under § 1341 [text]. In 2007, Black was convicted of mail fraud and obstruction of justice and sentenced [JURIST reports] to 78 months in prison. The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit rejected [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] Black's appeal, holding that § 1346 may be applied in a private setting regardless of whether the defendant's conduct risked any foreseeable economic harm to the victim. Counsel for the petitioners argued that § 1346 "is vague, amorphous, open-ended, and essentially, not very helpful," and that "all convictions in this case must be reversed." Counsel for the United States responded that petitioners had not previously raised the question of whether the statute is unconstitutionally vague, so the Court should not rule on that issue.In Weyhrauch v. United States [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the Court heard arguments on whether a federal honest services mail fraud prosecution under 18 USC §§ 1341 and 1346 requires proof that the conduct at issue also violated an applicable state law. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held [opinion, PDF] that no state law violation is required. The case involves former Alaska state representative Bruce Weyhrauch and whether he should have disclosed that he was seeking legal work from oil company Veco Corp. while he was voting on an oil tax. Counsel for the petitioner argued that § 1346 does not impose a legal duty to disclose a potential conflict of interest. Counsel for the United States argued "that when the legislator takes official action having an undisclosed conflict of interest, that's when he violates the honest services statute under the non-disclosure theory."
[JURIST] The New Jersey Senate Judiciary Committee voted 7-6 Monday in favor of a bill [text, PDF] that would legalize same-sex marriage [JURIST news archive] in the state. This is the first time that any body in the state legislature [official website] has approved a same-sex marriage bill. The vote came after hours of debate [NYT report] with testimony from supporters and opponents of the legislation. The bill will now move before the full senate for a vote scheduled for Thursday. It is unclear whether there is enough support to approve the legislation. If passed by the full senate, the bill would then go before the state assembly, where it is more likely to pass. Outgoing Governor Jon Corzine (D) has promised to sign the bill [CNN report], but Governor-elect Chris Christie (R), who takes office next month, has vowed to veto it.Last week, the New York Senate defeated legislation [JURIST report] to allow same-sex marriage. In November, Maine voters vetoed [JURIST report] a same-sex marriage bill passed by that state's legislature. The Maine vote came a year after California voters approved Proposition 8 [JURIST report], an amendment to the state constitution overturning the state's high court ruling [JURIST report] in favor of same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage is legal in four states in the US - Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, and Vermont - and will be legal in New Hampshire [JURIST reports] starting January 1. New Jersey has recognized same-sex civil unions [JURIST report] since 2006.
[JURIST] Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] on Tuesday urged [press release] Philippine authorities to establish a timetable to end the martial law declared in its southern province of Maguindanao and to dismantle paramilitary groups throughout the nation. Philippines President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo [official website; BBC profile] imposed martial law [JURIST report] and suspended habeas corpus last week in response to instability in the province following a politically motivated attack that left 57 dead last month. The powerful Apmatuan clan, which has dominated the province for the better part of the last decade, was blamed for the massacre, and martial law has allowed government forces to arrest members of the clan without warrants and to force many of their armed supporters to forfeit their weapons. AI has called on the president to revoke or amend the order, stressing that, "[k]ey human rights, including the right to challenge the legality of detention, must not be violated or restricted under any circumstances." Since the institution of martial law, AI has not found any evidence of serious human rights violations, but some 70 arrests have been made without warrants and the heightened military presence has led to the displacement of more than 2,000 residents. The Congress of the Philippines [official website] is set to review [NYT report] the proclamation imposing military law on Wednesday and decide whether to support the move by a majority vote.On Monday, the National Union of People's Lawyers (NUPL) [advocacy website] and other groups petitioned [JURIST report] the Philippines Supreme Court [official website] to reject the president's proclamation [text, PDF] imposing martial law. The groups claim that Arroyo exceeded her constitutional authority [Philippine Daily Inquirer report] to impose martial law by making the proclamation in the absence of either a rebellion or invasion, the two circumstances in which martial law is allowed under Article VII Section 18 [text] of the Philippine Constitution. The court has called on the government to issue a response to the petitions within five days.
[JURIST] The North Korean delegation to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website] defended North Korea's human rights record Monday while presenting a report [text, PDF] in compliance with the UNHRC's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) [materials] process. Ambassador Ri Tcheul denied allegations of torture and claimed that serious malnutrition [Yonhap report] is no longer an issue in the country. Ri did acknowledge the occurrence of public executions [Daily NK report], but said they are only conducted for serious crimes at the request of the victims' families. Several UNHRC representatives urged the North Korean government to allow aid workers [AFP report] to bring food to its citizens, while others called on Pyongyang to allow access to the UN Special Rapporteur. The UNHRC, which has no binding authority, is expected to release its findings later this week.In October, UN Special Rapporteur for North Korea Vitit Muntarbhorn [official profile] criticized [JURIST report] the country's "abysmal" and ongoing human rights violations in an independent report submitted to the UN General Assembly. Muntarbhorn, a Thai law professor who was appointed as a UN human rights expert in 2004, has not been allowed to enter North Korea to investigate. He based his report on testimonies of experts in the country and of North Korean emigrants. In March, Muntarbhorn told the UNHRC that he found egregious human rights violations [JURIST report] in North Korea. In October 2008, Muntarbhorn urged [JURIST report] North Korea to improve its treatment of prisoners and unsuccessful defectors, as well as to cooperate in locating kidnapped foreign citizens. In January 2008, Muntarbhorn made similar comments during his visit with a special UN envoy to Japan [JURIST report] to assess the impact of the North Korean rights situation on that country. North Korea has frequently been accused of human trafficking, press repression, and "actively committing crimes against humanity" [JURIST reports].
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] on Tuesday ruled [opinion, PDF] in Alvarez v. Smith [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that a challenge to an Illinois statute authorizing forfeiture of personal property used to facilitate drug crimes is moot because the parties resolved underlying disputes as to ownership of the property. The Court vacated the decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which had held [opinion, PDF] that some hearing was due, but had remanded the case to the district court in order to determine the applicable test. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the Court:
We granted certiorari in this case to determine whether Illinois law provides a sufficiently speedy opportunity for an individual, whose car or cash police have seized without a warrant, to contest the lawfulness of the seizure. At the time of oral argument, however, we learned that the underlying property disputes have all ended. The State has returned all the cars that it seized, and the individual property owners have either forfeited any relevant cash or have accepted as final the State's return of some of it. We consequently find the case moot, and we therefore vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case to that court with instructions to dismiss.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] on Tuesday ruled [opinion, PDF] in Union Pacific Railroad Co. v. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that the requirement that parties submit proof that they have conferred on issues before seeking arbitration under the Railway Labor Act (RLA) [text] is not jurisdictional. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg delivered the Court's unanimous opinion, affirming the decision [opinion, PDF] by the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to set aside the panel's orders:
We consider in this case five nearly identical decisions of a panel of the NRAB dismissing employee claims "for lack of jurisdiction." In each case, the panel declared that a procedural rule raised by a panel member, unprompted by the parties, was "jurisdictional" in character and therefore commanded threshold dismissal.The panel's characterization, we hold, was misconceived. Congress authorized the Board to prescribe rules for the presentation and processing of claims, but Congress alone controls the Board's jurisdiction. By presuming authority to declare procedural rules "jurisdictional," the panel failed "to conform, or confine itself, to matters [Congress placed] within the scope of [NRAB] jurisdiction." Because the panel was not "without authority to assume jurisdiction over the [employees'] claim[s]," its dismissals lacked tenable grounding.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] on Tuesday ruled [opinion, PDF] in Beard v. Kindler [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that a state procedural rule is not automatically "inadequate" to bar federal habeas review under the adequate state ground doctrine. The case arose when the Pennsylvania courts applied the state's fugitive forfeiture rule and concluded that defendant Joseph Kindler waived his right to seek appellate review, dismissing his appeal without reaching the merits of his claims. The Court vacated the decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which had affirmed [opinion, PDF] the district court's grant of federal habeas relief. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the Court:
We hold that a discretionary state procedural rule can serve as an adequate ground to bar federal habeas review. Nothing inherent in such a rule renders it inadequate for purposes of the adequate state ground doctrine. To the contrary, a discretionary rule can be "firmly established" and "regularly followed" even if the appropriate exercise of discretion may permit consideration of a federal claim in some cases but not others.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] on Tuesday ruled [opinion, PDF] in Mohawk Industries v. Carpenter [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that disclosure orders adverse to the attorney-client privilege do not qualify for immediate appeal under the collateral order doctrine. The Court affirmed the decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which ruled [opinion, PDF] that there is no such right to an immediate appeal. Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivered the opinion of the court, writing:
The question before us is whether disclosure orders adverse to the attorney-client privilege qualify for immediate appeal under the collateral order doctrine. Agreeing with the Court of Appeals, we hold that they do not. Postjudgment appeals, together with other review mechanisms, suffice to protect the rights of litigants and preserve the vitality of the attorney-client privilege.
[JURIST] A legally-binding treaty on climate change [JURIST new archives] should be ready in 2010, UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon [official website] announced [statement] Monday during the 13th Session [materials] of the General Conference of the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) [official website]. Ban's comments come as the UN Climate Change Conference (COP15) [official website] is taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark. The 192-nation conference was originally designed to produce a global climate change treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol [text, PDF; JURIST news archive], which expires in 2012. In his remarks to the 13th Session of the General Conference of the UNIDO, Ban said:
From all corners of the globe, we are seeing unprecedented momentum for governments to act quickly and decisively. Our shared goal is a fair and effective agreement that will reduce emissions while helping vulnerable communities adapt. Copenhagen can and must generate practical results right away while providing a firm foundation for a legally binding climate treaty as early as possible in 2010. Science demands that we act. So does economic common sense.
[JURIST] A Chilean judge ruled [judgment, DOC; in Spanish] Monday that former president Eduardo Frei Montalva was assassinated, charging six in connection with his death. Judge Alejandro Madrid of the Chilean Court of Appeals found that Frei Montalva, who was president of Chile from 1964-1970, had been poisoned [La Nacion report, in Spanish] with mustard gas and other chemicals before his 1982 death. Three men were charged with murder, including a doctor, an intelligence agent, and Frei Montalva's driver. Two other doctors were charged with covering up the murder by allegedly falsifying autopsy reports, and a third was charged as an accomplice. The ruling comes less than week before the presidential election in which Frei Montalva's son, Eduardo Frei, is the candidate of the ruling center-left coalition. Eduardo Frei previously served as president from 1994-2000.Frei Montalva was a vocal critic of late former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] and the policies of his 1973-1990 military regime. An investigation into Frei Montalva's death was initiated in January 2007 when his body was exhumed and traces of mustard gas were found. Pinochet himself was under posthumous investigation [JURIST report] for possibly ordering Frei Montalva's death. Frei Montalva's family had long maintained that his death, which was originally ruled the result of a bacterial infection from treatment of a hernia, was a homicide.
[JURIST] The National Union of People's Lawyers (NUPL) [advocacy website] and other groups on Monday petitioned the Philippines Supreme Court [official website] to reject a proclamation [text, PDF] by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo [official website; BBC profile] imposing martial law [JURIST report] and suspending habeas corpus in the province of Maguindanao. The groups claim that Arroyo exceeded her constitutional authority [Philippine Daily Inquirer report] to impose martial law by making the proclamation in the absence of either a rebellion or invasion, the two circumstances in which martial law is allowed under Article VII Section 18 [text] of the Philippine Constitution. As mandated by the constitution, the Congress of the Philippines [official website] will review [press release] the proclamation on Tuesday and decided whether to support the move by a majority vote.The proclamation was announced [press release] on Saturday, and is a result of instability in the province following a politically motivated attack that left 57 dead last month. Government authorities on Friday arrested several suspects [BBC report] in connection with the attack, including Maguindanao Governor Andal Ampatuan Sr., and subsequently discovered an "arsenal of weapons" buried nearby. Military officials believed that rebels loyal to the Ampatuan family intended to launch a rebellion.
