The performance of Equus took home a "starred performance" at the state one-act play competition. A starred performance is the highest award given by judges. This was Minnetonka's eighth appearance at state and their eighth "starred" performance.
MHS theatre and English teacher John Lynn directed the stellar all-student cast and crew as they presented a 35-minute cut of Equus by Peter Shaffer.
In the story, Alan Strang, a 17-year old boy who has blinded six horses, is treated by psychiatrist Martin Dysart. Over the course of treatment Dysart grows puzzled by the boy's passion and has to face his own doubts about what it means to lead a "normal" life.

:: Home > General News > Speak Dating Event Little Babylon in Vienna
© Eton Institute
09. 05. 14. - 15:00
09. 05. 14. - 15:00
Where young Internationals meet up with the "real Viennese"
They do exist though: places and occasions, where you can get in touch and experience "international Vienna".
Since a few years an event series known as "Speak Dating Events" has been established which promotes personal exchange between both young people from all over the world as well as Viennese students and professionals.
The breezy crowd of language aficionados gather within the relaxed atmosphere of a big Vienna down town coffee house to talk about everybody and his dog – as well as about life in Vienna!
This extraordinary meeting is hosted by Eton Institute Vienna, whose particular concern it is not to just offer trainings in more than a 100 languages but also to deliver knowledge on different cultural backgrounds and to promote exchange.
A variety of different social events and cultural evenings constitute the ideal framework.
Janille from the Philippines is participant right from the start, "Coffee house atmosphere, variety of languages – what a nice opportunity to socialize with interesting people from all around the world and from Vienna - and to make new friends!"
Claus from Vienna says, "The Speak Dating Events are a great occasion to speak English in a nice and relaxed atmosphere, an easygoing way to stay fluent in English."
To many internationals these events are the first opportunity to network with each other but also to get in touch with the Vienna community. The equally young and international Eton Institute team moderating those gatherings takes care to make these evenings a happy and joyful experience for everybody.
Next upcoming Speak Dating Event will be May 28th 2014, join for free!

For the past three and a half years, Alexandra has participated in the PLUS program. Now as a senior preceptor, Alexandra helps new preceptors improve their facilitation skills.
"I often find myself learning valuable interpersonal skills and problem-solving abilities from my preceptors."
What has been the most rewarding part about working at the Sanger Center?
I love seeing my preceptors improve in facilitating collaborative study groups between the beginning and the end of the semester. It is both exciting and humbling to witness their increased confidence and comfort levels, the joy they seem to exhibit while leading the groups, and how they describe their successes to me.
What has been the most surprising or unexpected aspect of your job?
Although I serve as an senior preceptor who mentors and offers advice to my preceptors each semester, each new group of preceptors continues to impress me with ingenuity and perceptiveness. I often find myself learning valuable interpersonal skills and problem-solving abilities from my preceptors during our weekly planning meetings.
What advice would you give to incoming students about being academically successful at UT?
Take classes that interest you, even if the classes might be challenging or do not seem to "fit" with your major. College will probably be the one opportunity you have to explore your interests before going into the workforce or pursuing graduate school. I have taken outstanding classes with some of the most successful and engaging professors at this school and in their fields. I've found myself more motivated to study, develop a relationship with my professors, and explore information beyond the material presented in lectures. My interest level in the classes, thus, allowed me to succeed academically and enjoy myself in the process.

Nick Gazin's Comic Book Love-In #83
How are you? I am fine. Each week or so I share some images, news, and reviews related to comics, illustration, art, and nerd interest in this column. This week, I have review of the great new book "Star Trek: The Next Generation 365" and an awesome cartoon by Moebius.
Brief Reviews of Every Movie I Saw in Theaters in 2012
Maybe American movies used to be better before they started trying to remake everything, or maybe I was just a little kid then and now I'm slightly more tired of it all. Whatever the case, here are some tiny shitface diatribes about the eight movies I sat in a room and stared at…

Google Apps storage now "unlimited"? or is it 10TB?
I upgraded my Google apps account to unlimited today. I have a Synology DS1812+ NAS here in the office that I wanted to now sync with Google Drive's newly minted "Unlimited" Storage. I don't need more than 2-3TB's of cloud storage currently. I think that's going to be a safe amount too considering the Synology's Cloud sync app seems to think "unlimited" is more like 10TB.

Blue cigars all around for actress/model Brooke Burke and her fiancé, actor David Charvet, as the very fertile couple welcomed a brand new baby boy into the world Wednesday.
"Burke delivered the baby boy at 11:31 a.m. on Wednesday, March 5, 2008, in Los Angeles," her spokesperson told People.com. "He weighs 6.5 pounds and is 20 1/4 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing well"
This is Brooke's fourth child (her first boy!) in all, and her second with David. The gorgeous Brooke, who is known for giving her kids hippie-chick names like Heaven Rain, Neriah and Sierra, has me wondering what this little boy will go by. Maybe River?
"The couple has not announced a name yet," says the rep, and adds that the new parents "are thrilled."
I'll keep you posted.
Congrats to the new parents!

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, Sci-FiThis may be the coolest news I've heard in some time.
According to Variety, Shane Black, director of the incredible Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, will be bringing pulp icon Doc Savage to theaters for Columbia pictures. That sound you here is me screeching in excitement in the pitch of a small girl.
For those of you not in the know, Doc Savage was a popular character in the 1930s and 1940s and has been the protagonist in books, comics, radio shows, TV shows and even a movie or two. Known as "The Man of Bronze," Doc is a adventurer, explorer, inventor, scientist and surgeon with a skill set that includes photographic memory, martial arts mastery and a massive IQ. With his team, each of whom has their own specific abilities, in tow, he travels the world, fighting and defeating all sorts of evil. Doc and his team, while not having any outright "superpowers," really were the inspiration for most comic book superheroes.
The whole thing is dated and silly and Doc Savage himself is a "perfect" character with no flaws and he never makes any mistakes, but that doesn't stop the original pulps from being ridiculously fun, easy reads and completely worth your time. There's something inherently charming about a hero who can out-fight anyone, outsmart anyone and always has a gadget (that he invented!) on hand for every single potential situation that may arise.
Shane Black is smart enough to know how silly/awesome all of this is and I can imagine him making a film that is a combination of tongue-in-cheek humor and serious adventure. His Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang was one of the best films of 2005 and it's been way too long since he's been behind the camera. This is a guy who deserves to make a movie a year and to do whatever he wants.
Also, AICN is reporting that this will be a period piece, like the original stories. My anticipation just went up tenfold.

Tennessee Highway Patrol said the man drove into an intersection instead of yielding to a traffic light. He crashed into the side of a car which sent both vehicles into a ditch. Reportedly, this is not the first violation that the man has had in relation to drugs or alcohol. In 2013, he faced a controlled substance charge. At the time of the incident, the driver was also on probation for drinking alcohol underage.]]> The vehicle that was hit was operated by a 59-year-old oncologist. He was said to have died instantly. A witness reported seeing a man unmoving with his head against the steering wheel in a 911 call. The accident occurred around 9 p.m. at the intersection of South Mt. Juliet Road and Stewarts Ferry Pike. Reports indicated that the accident investigation is still ongoing. The driver of the other vehicle may face additional charges.
Auto accidents involving intoxicated drivers can lead to instances of wrongful death. Families of victims may be entitled to compensation in order to assist with expenses and lost financial support. An attorney could gather information, work with independent investigators and negotiate on behalf of victims' families to get the resources they require.

The male driver of the truck is a student at Bartlett High School. The female passenger was a student at Cordova High School until a recent family move to Texas. She was visiting the driver, her boyfriend, before school started for the year.]]> The driver of the truck was sent to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. The female teen was ejected from the truck during the accident and succumbed to her injuries. At the time of the report, police were investigating the details of the accident and did not immediately file any criminal charges. Grief counselors were sent to the deceased victim's high school in order to aid those who were emotionally impacted by the accident.
People need to be especially careful when operating motor vehicles, as even small errors or lapses of judgment on the road can lead to a tragic results. This particular case demonstrates how a driver's simple mistake can lead to an unfortunate death. After a fatal car crash, the victim's family may be faced with overwhelming financial obstacles during a very emotional time.
A lawyer may be able to help families deal with the sudden and unexpected loss of their loved one by guiding them through the legal aspects of the accident. The lawyer could use police reports and other investigative agencies to determine the person responsible and help the family recover financially as they focus on recovering emotionally.

Highway authorities report that the accident happened around 6:30 a.m. when a 24-year-old man driving a tractor-trailer eastbound on the highway struck a Ford pickup truck from the rear. The force of the crash sent the pickup truck into the back of another semi-truck driven by a 50-year-old man. As a result, the pickup truck was trapped between the two tractor-trailers, resulting in the death of the driver, a 24-year-old Lenoir City man. The three trucks then caught on fire.]]> When they responded to the scene, troopers closed the eastbound lanes of I-40 for almost nine hours while fire crews worked to put out the fire and authorities conducted an investigation. Charges could be filed against the 24-year-old truck driver.
Motorists who become involved in tractor-trailer accidents stand little chance of avoiding serious injuries or death because of the large size of the vehicles involved. If a tractor-trailer driver caused a fatal truck crash through an act of negligence, the surviving family members of any victims may be able to hold him or her liable for those damages. A wrongful death claim might allow a family to recover their accident-related financial losses, such as medical and burial costs. If an independent contractor operated the truck, the truck driver may be the only liable party. However, if the truck was a company vehicle, both the driver as well as his or her employer could be held liable.

At a young age, children typically look to adults to provide safety and security. However, unfortunate data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that children's expectations aren't always met with reality.]]> Based on motor vehicle accident data from 2012, the most recent year available, children accounted for 1,168 of the nation's traffic fatalities. The NHTSA defines children as people who are 14 years of age or younger. To put this in perspective, the number of fatalities among children represents 3 percent of all traffic fatalities in the United States.
As additional context for the frequency of children being involved in auto accidents, the NHTSA indicates that an average of three children die and 462 others are injured in car accidents every day.
Perhaps the most surprising element of the NHTSA crash data on children is just how many of the fatalities are the result of an alcohol-influenced crash. After all, many might be wondering how many situations are children 14 and younger in a situation to be exposed to drunk drivers. According to the statistics, 20 percent of all auto accident fatalities involving children were related to alcohol. Generally speaking, children are pedestrians or bicyclists when involved in drunk driving accidents.
Such young, promising lives shouldn't be brought to an early end by the irresponsible behavior of other drivers. Knowing the difficulty that follows a fatal accident, loved ones may be able to find a way forward by understanding their legal rights.
Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "Traffic Safety Facts -- Children," accessed July 23, 2014]]>
In many cases, children cannot swallow pills, so medication is delivered in liquid form. While this may provide an easy way to administer the medicine children need, the dosage instructions may be setting parents up for failure. And, in turn, children are put at risk of being given doses that are too small or too large.]]> A report in the New York Times indicates that poison control centers nationwide receive over 100,000 calls every year from parents who are worried about giving their children too much medication. This anxiety stems from concerns about instructions that include measurements as diverse as milligrams and teaspoons. Although both do represent specific units of measure, there is room for confusion.
When parents see "teaspoons" as part of the required dosage for a medicine, they might use any spoon from their kitchen. However, if the parent accidentally uses a tablespoon, the child would receive a dose that's three times stronger than it should be.
With this problem in mind, researchers have determined that medications should have a standardized unit of measurement for medication. Interestingly enough, the study found that the least amount of errors was made when doses were provided in milliliters, a metric unit.
Certainly, parents play a role in delivering the correct amount of medicine to their children. At the same time, however, manufacturers should provide labeling and instructions that are clear and will provide the best possible outcome. When it comes to small children, even a small error in dosage could have large impact.

A recent report from the New York Times suggests that many large truck manufacturers are turning to the technology sometimes added to passenger vehicles, such as crash-avoidance systems. Using a suite of tools, vehicle-based technology can detect certain signals commonly associated with accidents and assist drivers in preventing an accident.]]> Some of the technology that has already made it into certain types of cars could eventually become standard or mandated in semi trucks. For example, sensors in tractor trailers could determine when other cars are getting too close, prompting the driver or the vehicle to engage the brakes.
This move is largely motivated by the idea that large commercial trucks are often more dangerous than smaller passenger vehicles when involved in an accident. The New York Times cites the statistic that fewer trucks are involved in accidents than cars, but the outcomes for truck accidents more frequently include fatal or serious injuries.
Calls to enhance the technology-based safety features in semi trucks have followed the accident that seriously injured comic actor Tracy Morgan. The trucker involved in this accident failed to stop for slowed traffic.
Technology certainly has the potential to be an ally in preventing accidents, but safe, responsible behavior behind the wheel ultimately comes back to individual drivers. Truckers should be aware that their vehicles are large and cannot stop as quickly as smaller vehicles while traveling at highway speeds, which requires them to make conscious adjustments.
In the event that federal officials do enhance safety requirements for tractor trailers, the mandates should obviously be followed. Failure to do so could be considered negligence. At the same time, drivers and their employers should never lose sight of the need to abide by basic safe driving habits that have not changed -- and will not change -- over time.

At the same time, drunk driving accidents are a little different. Becoming intoxicated and getting behind the wheel of a vehicle doesn't happen by accident. Instead, drinking and driving represents a willful action.]]> When a person is seriously or fatally injured by a drunk driver, there may be an added sense of frustration for victims and loved ones. After all, this is an incident that could have been prevented.
Interestingly enough, a recent Associated Press report indicates that a loophole in Tennessee law may essentially let drivers who cause a fatal DUI accident off easier than someone who is arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. In fact, some drunk drivers who caused fatalities have avoided jail time entirely in Tennessee. Without doubt, this seems patently unfair to the victims' loved ones.
Our firm keenly understands the struggle that victims of drunk driving go through. We know that motor vehicle accidents fueled by alcohol are not like others. As such, victims may be entitled to punitive damages, which seek to punish drunk drivers for their actions.
At the same time, it's understandable how sensitive drunk driving accident cases can be. In the wake of this kind of trauma, victims and their loved ones may be eager to heal and move forward.

Although workers are guaranteed to keep their jobs for 12 weeks, an important legal protection afforded by federal law, the situation may not be so clear after that time has passed. As such, injured workers may need to act quickly and explore all of their options to maintain a sense of financial security.]]> An injured employee may feel completely out of options if they are no longer employed and still recovering from injuries. This feeling is very understandable.
Of course, the first place to look is probably workers' compensation benefits. Most employers are required to carry an insurance policy that will provide financial reimbursement to workplace accident victims, which can include coverage for medical expenses and lost wages.
At the same time, however, workers' compensation benefits may be put in jeopardy by a change in employment status. Given this uncertainty, it may be helpful to look to another potential option for recovery: a third-party claim. This may be a possibility if injuries were caused by parties other than the employer. By expanding the reach of accountability, injured workers can seek to recover the full extent of damages to ensure that they have financial stability and can completely cover medical expenses.
Navigating the terms of a third-party claim can be frustratingly complex.
Employees are generally barred from filing a claim against their employer after accepting workers' compensation benefits, even if employer negligence contributed to the injury. As such, these scenarios may require the experience of an attorney.

A recently released study depicts the effect of potential job loss under difficult circumstances. The Workers Compensation Research Institute compiled data and determined that injured employees who are worried about losing their jobs face lengthier recovery periods. Of course, these concerns have the potential to make the situation even more challenging.]]> The study, which included a survey of 3,200 injured workers in several states, found that people who were worried about losing their jobs faced an additional four weeks of recovery on average. Of course, these results were reached based on comparisons with employees who didn't harbor anxiety for this reason.
On a related note, at least one in five of the injured workers who feared being terminated experienced difficulty obtaining the services and benefits due to them. Without critical post-injury support, anxiety may be a natural troubling reaction.
Of course, it's worth asking: Can an injured employee be terminated while out on leave? Unfortunately, there is no simple answer, but a look at the Family and Medical Leave Act might provide some guidance. Employees are guaranteed at least 12 weeks of job protection while out on medical leave, based on the federal law. After that period passes, the situation may not be as clear cut.
Given these concerns, it may be worthwhile to explore what options injured workers have to guard against uncertainty. We will discuss this topic in our next blog post.

To be sure, car design has improved somewhat since the more primitive earlier iterations of the industry. But safety recalls remain common and the automobile industry still has plenty of work to do in order to create safer cars.
One area of such work involves the development of automatic braking systems. In this post, we will take note of how automakers are responding to a new crash-prevention program emphasizing such systems.]]> The program is sponsored by a respected safety group, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IHS).
Less than a year ago, the IHS put in place a safety-rating program aimed at preventing crashes.
The program involves assessment of the safety capacities for preventing crashes, particularly by using automatic brakes.
The vehicles tested for safety by the IHS were primarily larger cars. Many of the models were SUVS or luxury cars.
The feedback on the new models that IHS has given to automakers has already led to further improvements, according to the IHS's chief researcher.
The rating system assigns front-end crash prevention features to one of three categories. Front crash prevention essentially means automatic braking, with varying levels of speed reduction.
The more advanced crash-prevention systems may also provide a warning of some type to the driver of a possibly impending crash.
There is no technological fix that can take a way car accident risks entirely. As we have discussed, however, efforts are underway to create automatic braking systems that offer incremental progress in helping drivers avoid crashes.

The reality is, however, that people continue to suffer the consequences of others deciding to drive under the influence -- and accident statistics demonstrate this. As we discussed in an article on our firm's site, surveys of drivers show that fewer people are drinking and driving as each year passes. Despite this shift, alcohol-related accident fatality rates have remained steady for about two decades. Since 1994, drunk driving accidents have accounted for roughly one-third of traffic deaths.]]> Beyond drunk driving, motorists also seem to misjudge their ability to operate a vehicle safely in other ways. A recent report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration suggest that nearly 100,000 car accidents are caused by drowsy driving each year. As a result of these crashes, at least 71,000 injuries and 1,500 deaths have been reported.
The problem is that driving while fatigued can have nearly the same effect as driving under the influence of alcohol. In fact, federal officials indicate that going without sleep for 24 hours is equivalent to having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.10 percent, which is over Tennessee's legal limit. Those who work overnight shifts, for example, might fall into this kind of situation.
Whether it's driving drunk or drowsy, motorists have the potential to cause significant harm to others. Before getting behind the wheel of a vehicle, motorists have a responsibility to determine whether they have the capacity to operate their vehicles safely.

A recent study may have uncovered some important disparities in care based on where treatment is administered, the patient's age and a variety of other factors. The study conducted by researchers at Townson University revealed that 20 percent of elderly Medicare patients were subject to injuries unrelated to their underlying health concerns. Of those who were injured, two-thirds received care in an outpatient facility.]]> Researchers found that elderly patients received the wrong medications and experienced post-treatment complications. It seems as though these problems could be prevented, particularly medication errors. Unfortunately, a medical mistake could take a dramatic toll on someone who is already in a weakened state.
One of the researchers associated with the study noted that more must be done to promote safety in outpatient facilities, such as nursing homes, surgical centers or emergency rooms. Much of the focus is on improving hospital care, which is important, but thousands of people receive medical treatment in outpatient settings every year.
Just because a medical professional isn't practicing in a hospital doesn't mean that standards for care should be lowered. Patients and their families trust that their needs will be met in any type of medical facility. Moving forward, the hope is that these glaring disparities in care are closed.

Right now, public officials are weighing the possibility of approving a new product: powdered alcohol. The item, which is named Palcohol, comes in a lightweight powder that is mixed with water to create liquor or specialty cocktails. As regulators consider approving the product for sale, some public figures are raising serious product safety concerns.]]> Not long ago, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer called on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prevent the product from being sold. One of the primary concerns is that the product can be concealed, which could make it attractive to young people who cannot legally consume alcohol. Given the unfamiliar nature of this product, teenagers could inadvertently fall victim to alcohol poisoning or other adverse health effects.
In addition, Schumer raised the possibility that the powdered alcohol could be snorted, which could introduce an unsafe amount of alcohol into a person's system in a very short amount of time.
If any action is taken by the FDA, it would be similar to the one made when Four Loko was removed from the market. That alcoholic beverage was directly aimed at young people, and had detrimental health effects.
Already, the approval process has been held up by concerns about product packaging. Apparently there are questions about how much powder was included in each bag as it compared to labels. Product labeling is critical for consumers. Without accurate or complete warnings, consumers stand to suffer injuries.
Moving forward, the hope is that the safety concerns are heard. Otherwise, consumers -- and young people in particular -- could be put in harm's way by a deceivingly safe product.

According to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce development, injured or ill employees should receive two-thirds of the wages earned during the year prior to developing health issues. Of course, this provides a critical financial safety net. Even though a person may not be able to work, regular monthly expenses will not stop piling up.]]> In addition to monthly bills, a workplace accident is likely to result in medical expenses. For an employee worried about money in the wake of a workplace accident, knowing that medical coverage is in line may be a huge relief. If a doctor can demonstrate that medical treatment or procedures are related to a work injury, then it can likely be funded through workers' compensation. Not only that, but the state labor department indicates that medical equipment, such as crutches or medication, should also be covered.
Wage and medical coverage are certainly critical points of interest for injured workers, but making ends meet might still be a challenge. After all, a person may be missing as much as one-third of their total wages. Over time, living without that portion of a paycheck can create hardship.
Keeping in mind the financial toll of a workplace injury, it may be helpful to not only ensure that workers' compensation benefits are paid in full, but additional financial recovery may also be in line. Other parties may have played a role in a workplace accident, so it may be possible to pursue compensation from outside individuals or entities.

According to a recent study emerging from the University of North Carolina, nearly 10 percent of people who present with pain immediately after a motor vehicle accident suffer from persistent pain. In other words, their pain continuities or becomes worse six weeks after the accident, rather than minimizing as it should.]]> The head researcher associated with this study went on to say that people who experience widespread pain after an accident should receive treatment right away. By taking this proactive approach, the hope is that long-term pain can be avoided. Given that pain subsides over time in 90 percent of accident cases, however, it may be difficult to identify the cases that should be targeted.
Truck accidents are typically very violent in nature. As such, it isn't difficult to see how pain could manifest into a long-term medical condition. Ongoing medical treatment could become costly, which is one reason why it may be helpful for accident victims to pursue compensation.
The at-fault driver's insurer might be willing to offer a settlement. However, the amount offered might not be adequate cover long-term pain. Not only that, but it may be difficult to convince the insurer about the need for additional coverage to get a handle on long-term pain.
Insurance companies are looking to settle for as little as possible. The goal of insurers is to maintain a bottom line, rather than looking for the well being of accident victims. Given the complicated nature of working with insurance companies -- not to mention the issues associated with a complex medical condition -- seeking trustworthy assistance might be in line. Accident victims should have confidence that they truly have the necessary resources available to them or their loved ones, rather than being stampeded into an inadequate settlement.

Birds of prey impress at falconry event
5:00am Monday 28th April 2014 in News
Owls and falcons swooped, ducked, and dived at a special birds of prey event on Saturday.
Visitors at Paradise Park in Newhaven were left wide-eyed in amazement by the team from Herstmonceux-based Sussex Falconry.
Steven Charlton (pictured right), from the group, said: "Saturday was great. We had lots of people down and they all got a chance to handle the birds.
"The birds really do excite people. I think it is that fierce, natural beauty. That predatory force gets people, even those who aren't normally that bothered about birds."
The star of the show was a Saker Falcon, which is traditionally favoured in the Arab countries for its hunting skills.
Also on show were three owls – a barn owl, burrowing owl and a southern white faced owl.
Youngsters queued up to have a go at holding the awesome beasts, at the same time as finding out more about them from the team.
Mr Charlton added that the main focus for him was education.
He said: "That's the big thing for us. Pure and simple, the children are the future and they are the ones who will have to protect and look after these beautiful creatures.
"We want to make a lasting impression on them. If one person goes away from our shows and ends up working for the World Wildlife Trust or something like that, then that's our job done."
He added: "We don't mess around with the birds or make them do tricks. They are the master in this relationship and I'm the servant."
The group tours the county with appearances at children's events, gardening centres and steam rallies.
They can also be hired out for private functions and experiences.
Among their upcoming appearances include the English Medieval Festival in Herstmonceux between August 23 and 25, the Heathfield Show on May 24 and the Ringmer Steam Rally on July 26 and 27.

As detailed in numerous prior posts (most recently regarding the Coronel decision), a series of decisions allowing removal of general maritime law (GML) claims by seamen, even when combined with otherwise statutorily non-removable Jones Act claims, has been developing among the district courts within the Fifth Circuit. While Coronel provided the first backlash against this historic, albeit nascent, shift in admiralty practice, the Coronel analysis was rather complex and esoteric.
Interestingly, however, three days before Coronel was issued, a judge within the Eastern District of Louisiana likewise rejected the groundswell of decisions from sister district courts that have allowed removal of GML claims under the amended provisions of 28 U.S.C. §1441 under the analysis in Ryan v. Hercules Offshore, Inc., 2013 WL 1967315 (S.D. Tex. May 13, 2013).
Specifically, the court in Barry v. Shell Oil Co., 2014 WL 775662 (E.D. La. Feb. 25, 2014) (Zainey, J.), granted a maritime plaintiff's motion for remand after the non-diverse defendant removed the plaintiff's state court suit - which demanded a jury - to federal court under the Hercules line of cases. The plaintiff argued in support of remand that such removal was prohibited under the "saving to suitors" clause of 28 U.S.C. §1333.
The Barry court recognized the Hercules line of cases, but then reconsidered on its own the plain language of the amended version of §1441 and the "savings to suitors" clause of §1333. Specifically, §1441(a) provides as follows:
Except as otherwise expressly provided by Act of Congress, any civil action brought in a State court of which the district courts of the United States have original jurisdiction, may be removed by the defendant or the defendants, to the district court of the United States for the district and division embracing the place where such action is pending.
In turn, §1333 provides in pertinent part that "[t]he district courts shall have original jurisdiction, exclusive of the courts of the States, of. . . [a]ny civil case of admiralty or maritime jurisdiction, saving to suitors in all cases all other remedies to which they are otherwise entitled."
Based on these two provisions, the Barry court granted the plaintiff's motion to remand based on the following incremental analysis:
"In sum," the Barry court held that "the saving to suitors clause, found in § 1333, is an Act of Congress that prohibits the removal of the general maritime claims in this case, pursuant to § 1441(a)" - thus presenting an arguably independent statutory basis for nullifying the result of the Hercules line of cases.
To be sure, the Hercules decision squarely considered the "saving to suitors" clause in its analysis, and rejected any relevance of the clause to the issue presented by the newly amended version of §1441(a). Indeed, Hercules noted that the "saving to suitors" clause had never been the basis for non-removability of maritime claims under the old Romero/Dutile rule: "[T]he saving to suitors clause . . . does no more than preserve the right of maritime suitors to pursue nonmaritime remedies. It does not guarantee them a nonfederal forum, or limit the right of defendants to remove such actions to federal court where there exists some basis for federal jurisdiction other than admiralty." Ryan v. Hercules Offshore, Inc., 945 F. Supp. 2d 772, 774 (S.D. Tex. 2013). Moreover, the Barry court did not address whether the result would have been different if the plaintiff had not demanded a jury in his state court lawsuit.
Nonetheless, the argument/analysis by Barry court was apparently not put squarely before the court in Hercules or any of its progeny. In any event, Barry, along with Coronel, have provided dissenting voices on the issue of removability of GML claims, as this line of jurisprudence makes its way steadily toward an inevitable trip to the Fifth Circuit or perhaps even the Supreme Court.

Optimal Regional Policies to Control Manure Nutrients to Surface and Ground Waters
AbstractCurrent day large animal facilities generate more manure than they need on their own feed production areas. Excessive nutrient applications deteriorate groundwater (nitrogen) and surface water quality (nitrogen and/or phosphorus). Due to differences in environmental and economic characteristics, adjacent regions may have differing objectives for nitrogen and phosphorus abatement. We postulate an analytical model of upstream agricultural and downstream recreational regions, and analyze optimal policies that consider both regions. We show that depending on the environmental and economic characteristics, tightening upstream regulation with respect to loading of one nutrient only might increase the downstream loading of the other. As the prevailing regulatory tool for livestock production is the Nutrient Management Plan based on nitrogen standard; and because livestock production is the main source of man-made nutrient loads to environment, the model is of high importance. Our model contributes to literature by i) differentiating (the impacts of) manure regulation between the livestock farm and the adjacent crop production farm ii) showing how this differentiation is carried over to relative and absolute amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus loading due to changes in nutrient application and uptake; and due to changes in application areas iii) allowing for regional differences in abatement objectives.

High school students burned on school bus | News
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- St. John's County Fire Rescue responded to an incident involving a school bus on C.R. 208.
A coolant line that runs from the rear of the school bus to the front of the bus burst while students were on their way to school Friday morning, according to the St. Johns County School District. The line runs on the floorboards under the windows and is encased in protective metal.
First For You, parents, if your students sees that the line is not encased in metal, tell the driver or a school official right away.
Julia, a 12th grader at Nease High School told First Coast News she has friends who normally ride bus 266 to school in the mornings.
"I'm glad they're OK," she said.
School bus 266 was traveling in the 4900 block of C.R. 208 at approximately 8:30 a.m. on the way to Nease High School when the incident occurred.
When the line ruptured, hot coolant spewed out, hitting several students causing reported burns.
"I feel really bad. I hope they're OK," Julia said. "I hope they're not injured too bad."
Three students were transported to Flagler Hospital and are all in stable condition. Two other students were evaluated on scene.
The Centers for Disease Control says Ethylene Glycol is a colorless odorless liquid founds in many consumer products. Exposure may cause skin or eye irritation.
The district spokeswoman said a similar incident happened in December 2012 on another 2010 model Blue Bird 84-passenger rear-engine bus. In that incident, a heater hose ruptured, spewing coolant. No students were hurt. The district installed caps on this model to prevent leaks. This most recent rupture happened under the rear wheel base, away from the cap.
"I think it's something that needs to be investigated a lot further," Nease High School parent, Donald Stauffer said. "Kids should not be hurt on the bus coming to school."
The incident is under investigation and the bus has been taken out of service. The district has 230 buses in its fleet. Of those, 15 are Blue Bird's 84-passenger rear-engine bus, according to the spokeswoman. Three buses are model year 2009 and 12 are model year 2010.
The district spokeswoman says once their investigation is complete, that will determine what action needs to be taken to protect students and that parents and students don't have to worry.
First Coast News is awaiting word from the Blue Bird bus company. When they get back to us, we'll let you know.

Cardinal Dolan is shocked, shocked that the Freedom from Religion Foundation has mistaken the Roman Catholic Church for a political pressure group.
Oh, Cardinal Dolan hasn't said that they've mistaken the Church for a pressure group. For him, the FFRF ad is Exhibit Z in a long history of American anti-Catholic bigotry. But look closely.
(Disclaimer: I've been critical of the FFRF, myself, for another ad they placed in the Times. I lend them no support with these observations.)
Read and re-read Cardinal Dolan's column. Now read it again. What is the anti-Catholic claim that the FFRF has made? What text has he singled out as an attack on the Church?
You haven't found it? Me, neither.
The closest he gets is characterizing the ad as "a whole-page sneer at 'dogma'" (which hardly is an attack exclusively on Catholics) and where he observes that the FFRF characterizes the Court's majority as "all male Roman Catholic," which is factually true. He then attacks the Know-Nothings and the KKK, with whom he paints the FFRF guilty by association.
Now look further. Here is the FFRF ad. Read it closely.
In fact (contrary to the Cardinal's claims), I do find something like an argument here: "RFRA radically redefines 'religious freedom,' according believers extreme religious liberty, exempting them from laws they claim create substantial burdens on their free exercise of religion." The ad even encourages us to read FFRF's amicus brief in the Hobby Lobby case--certainly, there we find an argument.
The ad has a strong point-of-view. We should expect that from an organization devoted to promoting atheism. But is this an ad hominem attack? Only, it seems to me, if you cannot intellectually disentangle being Catholic from partisan, political activism.
And that, I suspect, is the Cardinal's problem. I've been documenting this problem for over two years. Find my treatments of it here, here, here, here, and here.
The Church must engage the world. That means that the Church must engage in social and political activism. But that activism is dangerous and the danger should be recognized. It is easy to become ensnared in the worldliness of the rough-and-tumble, to lose sight of the actual objectives and stop acting like the Kingdom of God on its earthly pilgrimage. More than anything else, Cardinal Dolan gives testimony here to how that is what has happened.
Notice that neither Cardinal Dolan nor the FFRF has mentioned that one of the dissenting justices in the Hobby Lobby case--Justice Sotomayor--is Catholic. They haven't mentioned it because it doesn't fit how they see that label, "Catholic." The FFRF is using "Catholic" as a synonym for "conservative Republican," and Cardinal Dolan feels stung by an expression of political disagreement that he only can take as an attack on the Church.
What Cardinal Dolan and the FFRF have in common is an inability to disentangle the Church from its political activism. But the greater culpability belongs to the Cardinal. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops launched its political campaign while Cardinal Dolan was its president. FFRF simply has been getting the message that the USCCB has been transmitting. This is what happens when bishops make themselves indistinguishable from lobbyists.
Here is Cardinal Dolan's summary assessment of the FFRF ad:
as the professors of logic, rhetoric, and speech taught us in college, arguments attacking a person—instead of an idea, viewpoint, or opinion—are the weakest and most vicious of arguments…although, sadly, rather effective in firing up a mob.Judge for yourself. But it seems to this writer that the Cardinal doth protest too much. Why else omit any reference to Justice Sotomayor, surely the best evidence available to muster against the FFRF's charges? Why dwell for so long on the history of anti-Catholic bigotry if not to 'fire up a mob'??
And that's the tactic at work here. An ad soberly criticizing the decision would have been part of the discourse that makes us such a durable democracy…and there have been such ads. But the FFRF, perhaps knowing that their legal arguments fall flat, instead attacks the people on the court, and implies that their Catholic faith makes it impossible for them to protect the cherished Constitution they have sworn on a Bible to uphold.
This back-and-forth between the bishops on the Right and the secularists on the Left now is as illuminating as the dueling press conferences at the White House and the Capitol that we get during a government shutdown. But the impoverishment of that debate has been the bishops' recent work. Only they can elevate it.
Cardinal Dolan is shocked, shocked that the Church looks like a pressure group to the outside world. But I'm not. No on else should be.

Foam Wreath (preferably a festive heart one)
Felt (about 1 yard, not hot pink if you are planning on photographing it)
Straight Pins
DirectionsStep 1: Cut circles out of your felt. Lots and lots of circles. I used a spool of ribbon (about 3 inches wide) as my circular template but you can use anything round to trace circles onto your felt, then just cut away. The larger the circle, the bigger the ruffles. I didn't want to over cut and waste felt or time so I cut a few circles, pinned a few to my wreath, cut a few more, pinned a few more until it was complete.
Step 2: Take a felt circle and fold it in half. Fold it in half once again to form a ruffle.
Step 3: Stick a straight pin in at the tip of the ruffle and pin it to the foam wreath.

Most of the nurses at the hospital where I work belong to a union, but I don't. Recently, my supervisor changed my shift with only a week's notice (my contract specifies 2 weeks' notice), causing me significant problems in rearranging childcare. A colleague suggested that I file a grievance. Can I do this without the union's backing?-o.v., ariz.
You're fortunate to have a contract spelling out how much notice is due before your shift is changed. Contract law ensures your right to dispute your supervisor's actions.
Try resolving your situation by reminding the supervisor that your contract requires a 2-week notice or discuss the problem with someone from human resources. If your supervisor insists on the change, you can file a grievance without union backing because she's breached your employment contract. Your facility should have a policy for filing grievances. Read and follow it.
Most nurses are hired without a formal contract. When that's the case, the employee handbook serves as an informal contract between nurse and employer.

"Kirby's Dream Land was developed by Masahiro Sakurai of HAL Laboratory. Kirby was a dummy character that the developers used until they could define a more sophisticated image. The designers grew to like Kirby so much that they decided to keep him instead of using a more advanced character. He was originally named Popopo (ポポポ?), and Kirby's Dream Land was titled Twinkle Popo (ティンクル・ポポ?). Eventually, he was renamed Kirby and the game was renamed Kirby of the Stars. During the development of what was then referred to as Twinkle Popopo, Popopo/Kirby's colour had not been decided upon. Masahiro Sakurai wanted him to be pink, while Shigeru Miyamoto felt that he should be yellow. Eventually, Nintendo decided to make him pink. Although pink is still Kirby's main colour, later games have shown Kirby in a wide variety of colours, including yellow.
When Kirby of the Stars was first released in Japan, it featured Kirby in pinkscale. However, Nintendo of America designed the North American box art and advertisements with a white Kirby based on the game's grey-scale visuals."

U.S. soy rises on short-covering, bargain buying ahead of USDA report
CHICAGO, Nov 4 (Reuters) – U.S. soybean futures rose on
Monday on a round of bargain buying and short-covering after
prices fell to their lowest in 21 months during the overnight
trading session.
Traders also were squaring up positions ahead of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's much anticipated monthly supply and
demand report on Friday. The October report was scuttled due to
the partial shutdown of the federal government.
CBOT corn falls on big U.S. harvest, pressures wheat
CHICAGO, Oct 30 (Reuters) – U.S. corn futures sagged for the
third time in four days on Wednesday, weighed down by the
ongoing harvest of what is expected to be a record crop in the
United States, traders said.
The weakness in corn, which was hovering near a three-year
low, weighed on the wheat market.
Citgo Illinois refinery shut after fire; gasoline spikes
LEMONT, Illinois (Reuters) – Citgo Petroleum Corp effectively shut down its refinery in Illinois after a fire at its main crude unit and said on Thursday it did not know when operations would resume, sending gasoline prices higher.
The Wednesday night fire at the 174,500 barrel per day (bpd) refinery in Lemont, Illinois, broke out at a crude distillation unit, the workhorse of any refinery that processes crude oil into feedstock for other units within the plant.
Kenyans dominate Chicago marathon
CHICAGO (Reuters)- – Dennis Kimetto and Rita Jeptoo led a Kenyan sweep in contrasting styles at the Chicago marathon on Sunday in a race staged amid heightened security after the Boston marathon bombings in April which killed three people.
Kimetto won the men's race after a gripping duel with compatriot Emmanuel Mutai while Jeptoo cruised to an easy victory to add the Chicago women's crown to the Boston title she won this year.
Security tightened for Chicago Marathon after Boston attack
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Increased security will be in effect for Sunday's Chicago Marathon, the first major marathon staged in the United States since the tragic April bombing at the Boston race, organizers and police said.
Organizers have instituted baggage checks for runners and fans as well as restricting access to key points along the 26.2-mile route that winds through the downtown Loop, passes Lincoln Park Zoo and neighborhoods such as Little Italy and Chinatown.
Cash-rich U.S. farmers slow to sell huge corn, soybean crops
CHICAGO, Aug 28(Reuters) – Several years of profitable crops
have left U.S. farmers with enough cash that they can delay
additional sales of corn and soybeans, which could be bad news
for food companies, livestock feeders, and exporters hoping for
an abundance of low-price grain after this year's harvest.
While the U.S. Agriculture Department has forecast huge corn
and soybean crops this autumn, these rich farmers have enough
on-farm grain storage to hold onto much of their bounty until
prices move higher.
Northern N Dakota wheat crop seen below 2012 after late plant -tour
DEVILS LAKE, North Dakota, July 24 (Reuters) – Spring wheat
yields across northern North Dakota were projected lower than a
year ago but were still trending above average despite severe
planting delays, scouts on an annual crop tour of the top U.S.
spring wheat state said on Wednesday.
The crop was less mature than usual due to the delays and
will need good weather in the next few weeks to reach its full
US spring wheat prospects above average in northern N.Dakota-Tour
MAX, North Dakota, July 24 (Reuters) – Spring wheat yield
prospects in northwestern North Dakota are lower than they were
a year ago but still better than average, scouts on an annual
crop tour of the top U.S. spring wheat state said on Wednesday.
Much of the crop in the area was seeded later than usual,
and because of its delayed development, the crop will need good
weather in the next few weeks to reach its full potential.
Wheat yields in southern N. Dakota seen bigger than 2012-tour
BISMARCK, North Dakota, July 23 (Reuters) – Spring wheat
yields in southern North Dakota are expected to be larger than
average and higher than last year, as dry and hot conditions in
July helped the crop develop after rain delayed planting
throughout much of May, scouts on annual tour said on Tuesday.
Hard red spring wheat yields were projected at 43.3 bushels
per acre, based on a survey of 195 fields across southern
portions of North Dakota, as well as some fields in South
Dakota, on a tour organized by the Wheat Quality Council.
Scouts find yields variable in North Dakota wheat fields
WISHEK, North Dakota, July 23 (Reuters) – Yield prospects
for the spring wheat crop in southern North Dakota were
averaging about 5 bushels per acre better than a year ago but
variability was high between fields, scouts on an annual tour
said on Tuesday.
Scouts predicted an average yield of 46.7 bushels per acre,
based on surveys of four fields in Ransom and LaMoure counties.
A year ago, scouts along the same route pegged average yields at
41.6 bushels per acre. The tour's five-year average for the area
is 42.6 bushels per acre.

Postgame Quotes - Notre Dame at Cincinnati
Jan. 16, 2010
Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
University of Cincinnati
Mick Cronin, Head Coach
Opening Statement
"It is nice to finally win a close one. Not many times you come to a podium with a victory when your team hits 32 percent from the field. I thought our guys refused to lose the game today. Our offensive rebounding and our defense carried us. Deonta Vaughn made a great pass for the last play. They switched a smaller guy, he recognized it, and it was a great individual play by him. Yancy missed the first one, but got the put back. Fortunately, there was enough time for that. Notre Dame on a bad night hits 70 (points). Luke Harangody wakes up with 20 everyday. Our defense was stellar for the most time to hold him to 5-for-20 (shooting). I thought we bated him into a lot of jump shots. He is a load to handle around the basket. He took a lot of jump shots. He is much easier to defend from 15 to 20 feet than five feet in. I think Yancy did a great job on him."
On This Team's Condition
"Right now, my one challenge to the guys is it is test of wills in the BIG EAST. Anyone that watches it, our players have got to say 'you know what; we're going to win no matter what.' We have to find a way to win every game. We have to refuse to lose. Obviously, we need to play smart at the end of the game. I think that was contagious; I watched a few games before ours today. I hope it isn't a sign of the times because we won't continue to win shooting 32 percent. I was really proud of our guys' emotional response today. We played with an attitude that 'enough is enough.' That is a sign of kids turning themselves into winners. I was really proud of a few guys – Rashad and Yancy in particular. They were talking in timeouts and in huddles. They were showing me how much they cared about the outcome of the game. It wasn't about who was scoring; it was about how much they cared about the outcome of today's game. That is the key. Talent will only take you so far in this league. The will that players compete with is hard to match. If you don't match that, we won't be able to do what we would like to do."
On Seeing Leadership in Players
"It is in their team, not mine. It doesn't matter how upset or emotional, I get zero points and zero rebounds. They have been doing it for the most part. We have 12 BIG EAST games to sustain that. You have to take every practice and walk threw seriously. You have to show up every night, and if not, you are going to lose."
On The Crowd Being a Factor in Defense
"I just said on the radio. I know some of our fans are upset about the football situation, but last time I checked, Isaiah Pead and Zach Collaros are back. We have a new coach and our players are here. I'm glad they were upset because the will and resolve shows is from a home team. I thought it was the best game this year and it helped us in a major way."
On Struggling Offensively
"If I had that answer, I'd be retiring. Seriously, when it comes to shooting, you have to work hard at it especially three-point shooting. I think too many college players shoot three point shots that they shouldn't. We have to keep working at it. I know Larry Davis makes shots because I see it every day. You have to keep working on it. It is not a lack of practice. We start practice with 30 minutes of shooting."
On The Meaning of the Game
"Anybody that follows us, we are 12-6. We could be sitting here at 16-2 with the four close losses. We have made our own mistakes. As a coach, you tell your guys that it will all even out, but if it keeps happening, it will take a toll on your guy. It is important to win this game when it was close down the stretch."
On Responding After St. John's
"Today's kids don't take losses as hard as coaches or fans. It isn't the psyche of the 19-20 year old. It used to be you had to worry about picking those guys up. I still have to do the opposite. I have to have them feel the pain so they do something about it. I think that is universal. "
On The Technical Before the Half
"Someone from our bench said something that Brian O'Connell didn't like. He told me what they said, and if they said it, than he made the right call. I thought it was an over the back. The call went the other way. Luke is a great kid and he isn't a dirty player. They told me that he did (Harangody pulling Wilks's jersey). To be honest with you, I didn't see it. These are tough games to officiate."
Player Quotes
Deonta Vaughn, Sr., G
On What it Meant to Win This Game
"We needed this win. We lost three in a row, and two of them we should have won. We felt like we even should have beaten Pittsburgh. Three games are behind us and we want to start off fresh. We still have hopes to get to the NCAA tournament and keep moving forward."
On Coach Saying BIG EAST Is a Grind
"It was a real good grind out. We stayed solid, and we didn't want to make the same mistakes that we made against St. John's. We know Notre Dame is a great scoring team. We came in with the mind sight and played the defense that we usually play. We take a lot of pride in our defense. "
On Turnovers
"Be solid. We were just turning the ball over and rushing. We were trying to get buckets like other teams. We need to play solid and smart and everything will come to us."
Yancy Gates, So., F
On The Final Shot
"When he made the pass, I knew I was close enough to the basket. I babied it too much, and that's why I jumped up quick to get it. He wanted to get me and Deonta in a pick n roll. He was either going to be open on the drive or me under the rim.
On Defending Harangody
"Coming into this game, we knew he was their whole offense. If their offense breaks down, they just throw it to him. Coach and I talked, and I came into tonight with the mind sight of limiting his touches. He got a lot of touches but I was able to make him miss some shots. He still hit some big shots down the stretch. I take it as a special challenge. A guy like him who can score as much as he wants, I take pride in that challenge on defense. "
University of Notre Dame
Mike Brey, Head Coach
Opening Statement
"What a great college game. We are disappointed. We played our hearts out. I love what we did down the stretch and we couldn't get a block out on a really big guy, who is really hard to block out. I told our guys, in this league when you have a game on Monday, you can't dwell it. We have to get back to South Bend and get our legs under us. I give Cincinnati credit. They made some great plays and defended us down the stretch."
On Free Throws and Rebounds
"Free throws hurt us no question. For us, 9-for-19 is out of character especially on the road. Sometimes you can absorb it at home, but not on the road. We will bounce back, but not today."
On Cincinnati's Defense
"Both teams defended pretty well. It was a low scoring game. They only shot 32 percent from the floor and we shot 40 percent. It was a very physical BIG EAST basketball game. Guys were so exhausted from the physicality of it that they missed open shots."
On Nash's Rebounding
"Tough night for Nash. We certainly need him when we play against this league. I have every confidence that he'll bounce back. I was impressed with Scott Carleton in the loss, and Peoples game in. We played small because they played small."
Player Quotes
Luke Harangody, Sr., F
On Cincinnati's Defense
"They clamped down on us down low by bringing in some guys off the perimeter. I missed some shots that I usually would not miss. I give them a lot of credit."
Tory Jackson, Sr., G
On The Last Shot
"We work on that shot all the time. A lot of the guys shoot it from half court. I joke around and shoot it from the free throw line. It just came up short."
