Peru —
Gas pumps at a Peru convenience store reopened Thursday morning after state officials shut down the station Tuesday after inspectors say they discovered an illegal amount of water inside the fuel holding tanks.
State inspectors said they found 13 inches of water inside the 87 and 89 grade fuel tanks after two people complained their vehicles stopped running after filling up at the Peru Stop and Go located at 452 W. Main St.
State law allows for no more than .25 inches of water inside storage tanks.
The Indiana Division of Weights and Measures issued an emergency stop-sale order to the station Tuesday evening.
Mike Greene, head of the Miami County weights and measures department, said more than 6,000 gallons of tainted fuel was pumped out of the tanks and replaced with new gasoline.
He said the county and state will not issue any fines or penalties for the violation, since it's the station's first offense.
Greene said he did a routine measurement inspection at the station Monday and didn't find any issues.
"I'm guessing this was just a fluke of some kind," he said. "We've had a lot rain lately. It could have gotten in through a loose seal or pipe."
State inspectors allowed the gas pumps to start running again just before 7 a.m. Thursday.
Greene said this is the first problem with water-tinged gasoline in the city in at least eight years.

Moderators, I need to finish loading the trailer, and need to know if anyone would like to see the scoop used. Move this if you must. I know it is not in the correct forum but need maximum exposure quickly.
I am in final stages of loading for DSCF. I CAN bring my Gaylotte scoop and show folks how it works.
I will load it IF someone will volunteer a cub to mount it too. Preferably one with just a drawbar and hydraulics, so we don't have to swap implements on and off. It must have all good implement bolt holes.
It also depends on if Mr. E has some dirt we can move.

Treasure Hunt Cake
Serves 12-16
- 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for the pan
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 10 firm gummy candies (such as Swedish Fish)
- 2 8-ounce bars cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- Food coloring (optional)
- Heat oven to 350° F. Butter and flour a 12-cup tube or angel food cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat 2 sticks of the butter with the sugar on high speed, until fluffy. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla, and beat to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool the cake for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Using a paring knife, cut 5 deep slits in the side of the cake and carefully insert a candy into each.
- With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and the remaining stick of butter until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar. Add the food coloring (if using). Frost the cake and decorate with the remaining candies, as desired.

Since the Jaguars' season has been over for a few weeks already, I've been doing my usual digging into the 2012 draft. In case you haven't been following the fanposts, suffice it to say others have been doing some draft research as well. In my thinking about the draft today, I came across a little numbers game that should make guessing the pick a little easier.
To start, let's just look at the available prospects. Who is out there that has been considered a top ten pick.
Andrew Luck, QB Stanford. He will be the clear number one pick. Very intelligent. Strong arm. Great accuracy. Big body, good mobility.
Robert Griffin III, QB Baylor. He single-handedly brought the Baylor program to relevance and threw for over 4,200 yards and an absurd 10.7 yards per attempt. He should be a top 5 pick and will likely be picked before the Jags pick.
Trent Richardson, RB Alabama. He has the strength, vision and balance to be a very good pro RB. Not quite Adrian Peterson, but certainly could be a Frank Gore. That's good enough to make him a top ten pick, and possibly be drafted before seven.
Matt Kalil, OT USC. Kalil is the clear number one offensive tackle in the draft. He is powerful, quick and agile and looks like a potential franchise LT. He should go top three to five picks.
Quinton Coples, DE North Carolina. I think Coples is overrated. Still, he's the bright spot in a terrible draft for defensive end. Coples could be good, but he's not a sure success. Still, someone could reach for him in the top ten.
Alshon Jeffery, WR South Carolina. Jeffery is starting to look to me like a better option at WR than Blackmon. Whereas I have questions about Blackmon's ability to get open, I like Jeffery a lot. I see him as a potential top 7 player.
Justin Blackmon, WR OK State. Blackmon would have been a clear top five pick last year. This year he struggled a bit more to put up the same numbers. He doesn't have elite speed, but he has great jumping ability and strong hands. Given a decent workout at the combine, Blackmon will go top 5.
Morris Claiborne, CB LSU. Claiborne is a quick, smart cornerback with shutdown potential. He's been a ball hawk at the college level as well. He's a top five guy.
Dre Kirkpatrick, CB Alabama. Kirkpatrick is a prospect I consider about on par with Claiborne. The difference between the two is that Claiborne made more interceptions and Kirkpatrick was stronger against the run. Both have size and skill enough to be considered premier cornerback prospects.
So basically, here's how I see it: The Jaguars pick seventh. Of the prospects listed, the two QBs will be gone before pick five. Kalil will almost certainly be picked before five as well. That leaves Richardson, Coples, the two WRs and the two CBs and four picks before the Jaguars draft. Six guys and four picks.
In a worst case scenario, one of the WR/CB prospects will be available. Odds are decent that two will be available. I think Blackmon will fall after the combine. By my best guess, Kirkpatrick and/or Blackmon will be available.
Between the two, I think there's more value in a shutdown corner than a stud WR. Of course, that's just my personal opinion, and it's not what I'm trying to talk about here. I'm writing this article to point out that if all goes as the talking heads seem to think pre-draft, we will have a premier WR or CB available when we pick. I believe if either is available, the Jaguars decision will be easy. There's no such thing as a sure thing, but I'm expecting a CB or WR with the 7th pick.

In Appreciation...
To the mods and the admin of this site:
(I'm sure you don't hear this often enough... so here we go...)
Folks, I just want to hand it to you. You do a darned good job. It only takes a short visit to some of the compeating sites to realize how well you guys keep things rolling in a constructive and polite way.
I know I've had to get some of my own stuff taken off, and/or moved around. In hindsight, I can say that your decisions were fair, and justified.
Keep up the good work! :)
I second that. :)
I third it, lol. Great job guys!
I'll fourth it....this has been one of the easiest boards I've ever posted on from a poster standpoint. The decisions of the admins have been consistent and easy to understand.
I agree... every other board I have looked at, I ended up thinking was not worth my time.
The Admins here do a great job of keeping this site friendly, informative, and most of all, up and running!!
Thank you so much! Your words make my cheeks match my shirt lol. I know ST Blueshirt and ST Yellowshirt feel the same (hoping their cheeks don't match their shirts though, could be bad...) :)
Yay for the many shirted admins

Once again I saw a delicious-looking soup recipe on BrokeAss Gourmet that inspired me to make my own variation based on what I had in my pantry. This time it was Coconut Soup with Sweet Potato and Lime. I had red Thai curry paste so I made kind of a Thai curry soup, and threw in some kale because what don't I throw kale in nowadays?
By the way, eat more kale! It's good for you!
Red Thai Curry Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Kale
olive oil (not authentic, I don't care)
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
salt & pepper
some ginger if you have it but I was out
5 cups vegetable broth or water
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp red Thai curry paste
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1 inch cubes
1 bunch kale, destemmed and chopped
juice of half a lime
Heat olive oil and add onion, garlic and salt, sauteing until onion is translucent. Add ginger (if you are lucky enough to not be out) and curry paste, and cook, stirring for a minute. Add vegetable broth, coconut milk and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, simmering until sweet potato is easily smashed, but not falling apart (about 20 min). Add kale and lime juice, cooking for just a minute until kale wilts, then serve hot with lime slices and hot sauce.
I ate bowl after bowl, and started stirring in a little sambal oelek for some heat – so yummy! Zoeya liked it too once I convinced her that is was sweet potato (which she likes), not squash (which she doesn't).

The Market
Polk County is one of Florida's most exciting markets. The new millennium has brought many changes to Polk County. New businesses, retail centers and homes are reshaping Lakeland and surrounding communities as never before.
The market continues to be a haven for families and retirees. Many are drawn to Polk County for its natural beauty, pristine environment and numerous outdoor recreational opportunities. Others seek the educational opportunities offered by highly regarded public and private schools and regional colleges. Industries from biotechnology to manufacturing provide a solid job base. And retirees enjoy the active lifestyle and low cost of living.
For businesses, the appeal of Polk County is equally strong. The relatively low cost of living makes the area attractive for business relocations. The workforce is skilled and well-educated. Healthy incomes and strong demographics make local consumers profitable targets for retailers and service providers.

Yesterday, it reached 105 degrees here in the DC metro area. In the morning we went to the museum in DC but then came back because it was so hot we could not even form words. We could not even jump into the pool. All we could do was lay around with the lights off watching How To Train Your Dragon while eating popsicles. A young Internet salesman showed up on our doorstep and knocked on the door – when I opened it I was surprised to find him standing there, because we hardly ever get visitors in our remote suburban neighborhood, and it was too hot for anyone to even knock. He was black and spoke with a French accent so I assumed he was from one of the French-speaking countries in Africa, maybe Senegal or the Ivory Coast. He was sweating profusely, his name was Wilkens. I noticed that he had walked up our long steep driveway. In. The. Ungodly. Heat. I asked him – incredulous – where his car was, if he had really walked all the way up our driveway in the terrible heat. He said he had a car but was concerned that people might not want him to drive up their driveways in the neighborhood, so he parked down in the cul-de-sac and walked up all of the long driveways.
He told me that he was selling Internet connectivity stuff that would be speedier and save us money. I told him my husband was the one he needed to speak to so he said he would come back later, after he had visited our neighbors. I asked him if he wanted a glass of ice water. He seemed surprised. He was one of those people that just emanates niceness and civility. But the thing is – he was a black man in white suburbia, going house-to-house and knocking on doors a week after the Trayvon Martin ruling. A ruling that must not be very far from his thoughts, as he walks up driveways.
He said would appreciate some water, so I went to get him a big glass of ice water. As I poured the filtered water into the glass I remembered our old babysitter, Graciella, telling me how one of the moms she worked for had scolded her for using a glass to drink out of – that she was only to use paper cups for herself, as if she was somehow contaminated. She had walked across the border from Mexico all by herself when she was just 17, and had spent months living homeless on a park bench until she could find work. Eventually, she got her papers. I knew the mom she worked for – this mom seemed like a nice, normal person who understood people, and she was a psychologist, to boot. But she wouldn't let Graciella – who had cared for her child for years – drink from her glass cups. I remembered how on Christmas day, I telephoned Graciella at her home to wish her a Merry Christmas. There was this long pause on the end of the phone. After the pause, she told me that in the 15 years she had worked for families in the U.S. – I was the only person she worked for who ever called to wish her a Merry Christmas. She cried.
As Wilkens drank the water I scolded him for being out in the death-heat and not driving his car up the driveways. He smiled.
"You never know how people might react," he said.
"Just for driving up their driveways?"
"It's better to just park at the bottom," he said.
A part of me thought, how ridiculous to not drive your car up a drive way – but the truth is I am not black in today's America. I'm white. I enjoy a level of privilege that up until President Obama's speech yesterday – I had started taking for granted. President Obama's words reminded me how privileged I am, how unfair things are, still. He described how every black teen, including himself before he was a senator, has been trailed by security in department stores. Has been watched, doubted. Suspected. I'm pretty sure if Trayvon Martin had been white, and George Zimmerman black, that the verdict would have been different.
Wilkens handed the empty glass back to me, thanked me, and said he was going to go next door (to Steve's house) to talk to him before coming back to our house. After what I knew about Steve, I didn't think it would be such a good idea for this young man to walk up his driveway but I had no idea how to convey that to him – or if I should.
"Are you sure you're going to walk up his driveway?" I asked. "Maybe you should drive up."
He said he was going to walk up, and we said good bye.
Two years ago, my neighbor Steve came running up to me – sweating – on high alert, nearly in tears, because a black man had walked up his driveway and knocked on his door, ostensibly – he said – to sell magazines. He was beyond agitated. He had heard about a band of gypsy-like burglars – young black men going house to house ostensibly selling magazines. But what they were really doing, he said, was casing our houses so they could burglarize them. They had already robbed numerous houses – not in our neighborhood, but somewhere nearby. He had heard this from his sister.
"Lock your door," he told me. He had real fear in his eyes.
It's important to note that the number of times I have talked to Steve over the last 9 years I can probably count on one hand. We never speak, despite the fact that we are neighbors. To me this makes the fact that he felt the need to run over to my house to warn me that he had seen a black man walk up his driveway even more disturbing. I understand that Steve was feeling anxious about the band of gypsy burglars, however he did not say 'a man,' - he specified it: a black man. I bet if it had been a white man walking up the driveway Steve wouldn't have gotten himself into such a tizzy, and had he come running over to tell me about it (which he wouldn't have because the man was white) he would not have said he saw a white man walk up his driveway. He would have just said man.
After the teen knocked on his door, he paid a security company to install a whopper of a security system – one so fantastic that if a squirrel farted in the forest, the exterior of his house would instantly flood with football-field lights and alarms. It cost five thousand dollars. He apologized in advance for any noise or disturbances from the alarm system – but what else could he do? He was going to protect his family, and did I want the security company to drop by my house and give us an estimate, too? I told him no.
I said, "Aren't you going a tad bit overboard here?"
I explained that the same young man had come up my driveway, and that I had in fact bought some magazine subscriptions from him, as I had done the previous year, that the whole thing was above-board. No one was casing anyone's house. Did he really need to go to Defcon 10 just because a black teen walked up his driveway?
"But where was his car?" he asked, as if not having a car in the burbs was evidence of criminality.
I told him that he doesn't own a car – he's a teenage boy from Southeast so he got a ride in a van with a group of other at-risk teens from their church leader so they could sell magazines. I had even met the driver of the van myself, the year before.
I don't remember how our conversation ended – I recall that I didn't succeed in talking Steve down from his White-Suburban-Male freakout, and how shocked I was at how overt his racism was, his profiling. What if Steve had owned a gun? The young man who had walked up his driveway was just a teen trying to better himself, and this was so obvious that I just couldn't believe Steve was freaking out in the primal way that he was. There was no talking him down from Defcon, either.
I asked Wilkens if he'd like a bottle of water to take with him – and he very graciously said yes, he would. I went to the pantry and found that we were out of bottled waters, so I grabbed a Snapple and gave it to him. His eyes lit up and he said, "I can't believe you're giving me a whole Snapple."
A whole Snapple? What country was he from?
"It isn't cold," I said. "Sorry."
"Don't be sorry," he said. "I thank you for your kindness. I know that after meeting your neighbors they will tell me that you are the nicest person in this neighborhood."
Unlike people in his homeland, my neighbors and I do not even know each other, nor do we want to know each other. Our only interaction is a required half-wave at one another while driving, one that reminds me of half a Nazi-salute and that gives me the chills because it is in reality, so hypocritical. All the half-Nazi wave does is allow the person lifting their arm to feel as if they live in and are part of some kind of community, amongst neighborly people who like each other and say hello, when in fact we are all isolationists separated by ranch-style fences on 3 acres, who want nothing to do with one another (aside from that silly wave). I am sure that if he were to ask the neighbors about me, he would find out they don't like me because I don't play Bunco or attend Silpada parties, I bought magazine subscriptions from the black teen – two years in a row! – and I don't wave because I find it hypocritical.
He came back later and sat with my husband for an hour, geeking out on Internet mumbo-jumbo. After he left I said, "Isn't he the nicest young man? What country is he from?"
He told me Haiti. This young man was from Haiti. God knows what happened to his family or what he has been through – but when I heard this, I understood how his eyes widened when I gave him what to me is a small and insignificant thing – a Snapple – and he said the words, "I can't believe you gave me a whole Snapple."
A whole Snapple. Just those words, say so much.
Because where he's from, I bet if he had a Snapple he would probably share it with his neighbors.

Hundreds gathered to get their first peek at a brand new hospital in one Bremer County community Sunday. Community Memorial Hospital in Sumner has been under construction for 14-months. It replaces the current 60-year-old hospital at the same location. Area residents have come to know the value of modern, hometown healthcare.
Louis Bishop knows he's lucky to be alive. He's survived cancer, strokes, and open heart surgery. He credits his life to Sumner's Community Memorial Hospital.
"Having been in and out of the hospital for almost 12 years prior to here, my wife and I actually bought a home across the street because we're only a few minutes away in case of need," said Bishop.
Bishop is thrilled he'll soon have access to an even higher quality of care with the brand new CMH.
"With all the new services they're able to offer, without a doubt, are going to be very influential with the health of all the people, not only of this town, but also even just a passer-by that finds need of their service." Bishop said.
The nearly $20-million project is certainly a major, modern upgrade for the small community.
"Sumner being a very small town stands very tall to be in competition. I've been in some of the bigger facilities throughout the US, but Sumner, without a doubt, holds their own," said Bishop.
The new hospital offers 16 rooms in this large patient wing.
Rooms are spacious, and include private baths--a big improvement over the cramped quarters of the old hospital, where three or four patients shared hall restrooms. Physicians like Dr. Troy Buchholz say easier access is a big plus of the new facility.
"Just a lot easier to get around. You're not going to have to go up and down stairs, which for our patient population is really great because a lot of them are 65 and older," said Dr. Troy Buchholz, CMH Family Physician.
Serving that aging population is exaclty why the new CMH is working to expand patient offerings, like more specialty clinics. There's also a new CT machine, and the hospital hopes to add its own MRI machine soon.
"That will enhance things we can do immediately for our patients when they present, and not have to wait for scheduled exams," said Mary Wells, Community Memorial Hospital CEO.
While the hospital knows it can't offer everything, the new space opens the door to better care.
"It just makes the whole process of healing in a hometown environment that much better," said Wells.
With everything the new hospital has to offer, it's now well poised to address the community's healthcare needs well into the future.
The new hospital will officially begin seeing patients Sunday, January 13.
The hospital was made possible through a capital campaign, raising more than $2 million in private funds, coupled with an $18-million loan from USDA Rural Development.
The old hospital will be torn down starting next month, adding space for additional parking and landscaping around the new building.

When big events like the Hostfest come to an end every year, most people get to leave knowing that they'll get to come back next time.
But, for one family, this year was their final trip to Minot.
Emily Medalen takes us to the fairgrounds with the story.
Phyllis Byre has been coming to Minot from Spokane, Washington for the Hostfest for the past 10 years.
Every October, her and her son pack up the motor home and make the 20 hour drive.
But, the festival isn't the only thing that brings them to the Magic City.
(Phyllis Byre, Icelandic Society Booth at Hostfest) "My mother was living here and when she passed this last March.. There really isn't much to come back. And with the motor home and all, it does cost quite a bit to come across."
She says that even though it was a tough one without her mom this year, she and her son made the most of it.
(Phyllis Byre, Icelandic Society Booth at Hostfest) "It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it. It was a lot of work, but it was fun.
So, today they packed up for the last time, and got ready to make their final trip home.
(Phyllis Byre, Icelandic Society Booth at Hostfest) "It is bittersweet to say the least. When I walked out last night.. Stop."
Emily Medalen, KX News.
Phyllis and her family hope to be able to make it back for another Hostfest sometime in the future.

"But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, 'Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.' But the Lord answered and said to her, 'Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." -Luke 10:40-42
As I approach 60 years old in another month, I am more aware than ever that life flies by. The most important investment I have made in my life is to seek to love deeply. Loving my children and husband has required sacrificing my schedule and expectations in order to have time to listen, to be a friend, to share mutual joys and to cry together. Taking time to love well usually requires a simpler life that has the flexibility to cultivate "best friendships" with those are most dear.
Much of my life was lived at such a pace, however, that I felt like I was always in a hurry to get some place or to complete a task. These overcommitted times turned me into more a drill sergeant than a loving companion. How easy it is to focus on all of our "to do's" and to miss the magical moments of childhood and celebrating it together rather than gutting it out in frustration.
Statistics show that 88% of mothers feel severely stressed and overcome with anxiety due to poor time management and difficulty prioritizing. In a hectic world that is over-stimulated on our phones, computers, social media, and Starbucks addictions, are we losing sight of what is truly important in the midst of the balancing act? My mind ponders the fact that we were simply not designed to multitask to this extent. We often try so hard to juggle one million ideals, and once we drop one of them, we feel defeated.
As mothers and wives, it is absolutely crucial that we learn to breath, relax, and focus in on what should be prioritized. Life is short and ideals are constantly interrupted, so be sure to focus on the most important. The people in our lives should be the priority. Do the priority people in your life (your children, your husband, your friends) feel that you are often distracted by all the things you do? Do they comment on how much they appreciate your ability to give full attention to them or do they complain that you are not listening?
Are you so stressed about making your home squeaky clean that you don't make time for game night or a stroll at sunset? Is your mind so preoccupied with getting back to the kitchen to clean all the dishes that you forget to actually enjoy dinner with your family? Did you fill your day with so many errands and "have-to's" that you ran out of energy to extend a kind word, an affectionate kiss and warm greeting to your husband?
Psalm 90:10,12 tells us:
"As for our days, they contain 70 years or if due to strength, 80, but soon it is gone and will fly away. So teach us to number our days that we might present to you a heart of wisdom."
Worst of all, is the neglect of our Father. He is so ready to give peace, to guide us in wisdom through His gentle voice, but if we do not still our souls, we are likely to get into a snit as Martha did. We create our own snits by refusing to take time to be comforted in the presence of our living, loving Father.
We must make time to sit at His feet so we don't get into a huff. If you are too busy, the consequences will be grumpiness, frustration, and missed opportunities. (What is causing you the most stress and depleting your life? What can you do about it?)
Being women of wisdom means setting realistic goals so that we don't become drained. When we are constantly operating on a tank of gas that is almost empty, we have little in our hearts from which others may draw. It is so easy to listen to the voices of others and feel the guilt of performing up to other's expectations, instead of committing to the limitations and strengths of our own puzzle of life.
Make a list today of what you can reasonably accomplish and cut out those drainers that are unnecessary. What do you need to cut out? What do you need to add to your life to give your children more of a sense of love, peace and affection? Getting our priorities in order enables us to be better mothers, wives, friends, and women of God.
Today, each of has a choice–will we take time to celebrate the joys that God has provided? the beauty that He wants us to explore? The sweetness of intimacy that comes from investing heart time with those we love.
Take time to experience His pleasure. Remember: "Taste and see that the Lord is good."
The chores and responsibilities will always be there, but the time to invest in the ones we love, will soon be gone.

Lalumiere v. Miller Download as PDF Back to Opinions page MAINE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT Reporter of Decisions Decision:1998 ME 274 Docket:Cum-98-60 Submitted on Briefs:October 14, 1998 Decided:December 22, 1998 Panel:WATHEN, C.J., and CLIFFORD, RUDMAN, SAUFLEY, ALEXANDER, and CALKINS, JJ.
ROBERT G. LALUMIERE v. EDWARD C. MILLER, III{1}
WATHEN, C.J. [¶1] Defendant, Edward C. Miller, III, appeals from a judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Brennan, J.) in favor of plaintiff, Robert G. Lalumiere. Defendant argues that the court erred in granting summary judgment as to liability on the basis of his conviction for Class A robbery in a related criminal action. We agree that at the summary judgment stage, the very limited record in this case does not conclusively establish liability for battery in the civil action. We vacate the judgment. [¶2] Plaintiff filed a civil action against defendants, Edward C. Miller, III, and William T. LaFond, alleging the following facts: On July 11, 1996, Miller and LaFond hired plaintiff, a taxicab driver, to drive them in his taxi from the Old Port to Stevens Avenue in Portland. One defendant sat in the front seat and one defendant sat in the back seat. When the taxi stopped, the defendant in the back seat held plaintiff around the neck and the defendant in the front seat struck plaintiff in the face repeatedly with hard blows, causing serious bodily injury.{2} Both defendants, in concert and active participation, took his wallet. [¶3] After the civil action was filed, Miller was found guilty by a jury of robbery (Class A) (17-A M.R.S.A. § 651 (1983)). Plaintiff then filed a motion for summary judgment against Miller on the issue of liability, based on the criminal conviction for robbery. The court granted summary judgment in favor of plaintiff and, after a subsequent hearing, awarded damages to plaintiff. Miller now appeals. [¶4] In opposing summary judgment, Miller presented sworn testimony from his trial that he never touched the plaintiff. He argues that his criminal conviction for robbery does not conclusively establish civil liability as a matter of law for battery. [¶5] When a court grants a plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, we examine the evidence in the light most favorable to the defendant as the nonprevailing party to determine whether the court committed an error of law. Gorham Sav. Bank v. Baizley, 1998 ME 9, ¶ 6, 704 A.2d 398, 400. We will affirm a summary judgment only if "there is no genuine issue of material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Salvation Army v. Town of Standish, 1998 ME 75, ¶ 4, 709 A.2d 727, 728. When a trial court rules on a motion for summary judgment, "'[it] is to consider only the portions of the record referred to, and the material facts set forth, in the Rule 7(d) statements.'" Handy Boat Serv., Inc. v. Professional Servs., Inc., 1998 ME 134, ¶ 16, 711 A.2d 1306, 1310 (quoting Gerrity Co., Inc. v. Lake Arrowhead Corp., 609 A.2d 293, 295 (Me. 1992)). [¶6] Based on M.R. Civ. P. 7(d), the only material facts properly before the court were presented in plaintiff's limited and conclusory statement of material facts filed with his motion for summary judgment. This did not include the indictment upon which the robbery conviction was based. The Rule 7(d) statement indicated that plaintiff was operating his taxicab on or about July 11, 1996, he picked up defendants, one defendant sat in the front seat and one sat in the back seat, plaintiff followed defendants' directions to drive to Stevens Avenue in Portland, and a jury found Miller guilty of Class A robbery. [¶7] We have permitted "the offensive use of collateral estoppel, i.e. where a plaintiff would estop the defendant from relitigating issues previously litigated by the defendant against another party, . . . [but] only on a case-by-case basis." Pattershall v. Jenness, 485 A.2d 980, 983 (Me. 1984) (citing Hossler v. Barry, 403 A.2d 762, 768-769 (Me. 1979)). We have also stated that "a final judgment of conviction in a criminal case is preclusive in favor of a third party in a subsequent civil action against the defendant in that criminal case." Hanover Ins. Co. v. Hayward, 464 A.2d 156, 160 (Me. 1983) (citing RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF JUDGMENTS § 85(2)(a) & comment e). However, these doctrines do not exempt a plaintiff from summary judgment pleading and practice standards. Thus, we have limited the third party collateral estoppel rule stating that "'[u]nless it is shown that the judgment necessarily involved a determination of the fact sought to be included in the second suit, there will be no bar.'" Id. (quoting Susi v. Davis, 133 Me. 354, 357, 177 A. 610, 612 (1935)). [¶8] In this case, plaintiff alleged in his civil suit that one defendant "grabbed plaintiff's neck" and the other defendant "committed a vicious, intentional, and unprovoked assault upon the Plaintiff, striking him in the face repeatedly with hard blows, causing serious bodily injury." Plaintiff also alleged that "[a]s a direct and proximate result of said aggravated assault . . ., the Plaintiff became sick, sore, lame, and disabled, was required to, and did, undergo surgery for the reduction of facial fractures." Therefore, we must determine whether plaintiff established through his statement of material facts that he was struck as alleged in his complaint. His statement includes no express assertion that he was struck and, if so, by whom. It recites only that defendant was in the taxi and that he was convicted of Class A robbery. The record does not include the indictment or other information about the criminal trial by which we might determine whether the robbery verdict was based on a finding of use of force or only attempted use of force. [¶9] Based on a general verdict of Class A robbery, the jury could have found that defendant used physical force, intentionally inflicted bodily injury or intentionally attempted to inflict bodily injury. 17-A M.R.S.A. § 651(1)(C), (D) (1983) (emphasis added). The alternative "attempting to inflict bodily injury" does not necessarily require physical contact. 17-A M.R.S.A. § 152(1) (1983) (criminal attempt occurs when "with the intent to complete the commission of the crime, he engages in conduct which, in fact, constitutes a substantial step toward its commission"); see also State v. Bridges, 413 A.2d 937, 944 (Me. 1980) ("actual consummation of bodily injury is not a requisite element of . . . attempted assault"). Therefore, under this alternative, an actual striking of the victim as alleged in plaintiff's complaint was not required for the robbery conviction. [¶10] Accordingly, based on the limited information in this record the conviction of Class A robbery does not inexorably establish the civil claim of battery alleged in plaintiff's complaint. The entry is: Judgment vacated. Remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.FOOTNOTES******************************** {1} . Co-defendant, William T. LaFond, was dismissed from this action. {2} . Plaintiff does not identify in his complaint which defendant was sitting in the front seat and which defendant was sitting in the back seat.

News: Drake's Highly Anticpated "Over" Music Video Debuts Online
Monday, Apr 12, 2010 9:55AM
Young Money's Drake has debuted the music video for his song"Over" which is featured on the upcoming Thank Me Later album.
The video premiered on the Internet late Sunday (April 11) night.
The music video from Drake's new song, 'Over', has finally premiered. The Anthony Mandler-directed clip was shot to support the single which has thus far peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the Hop R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Drake's debut album, 'Thank Me Later', was recently pushed back from it's original release date of May 25th to June 15th. (That Grape Juice)
Director Anthony Mandler recently said fans could expect the unexpected with Drake's video.
"I can tell you that it's not gonna be what you expect," Mandler said in an interview. "Drake and I were very conscious about trying to push the limits and trying to push things forward. He came to me because he wanted to throw away the conventions of a medium, and take chances and be daring and take certain themes that are relevant to him and try to visualize them in not the obvious way. We spoke at length about his whole story, about the concept of the record, he played me some other tracks, sent me some images, and I went back and did my own images, and started to craft a treatment and voilà. We kinda just met head on. We work really closely and he has Oliver, who's his creative director. Oliver is a really smart casemaker and he comes in and lends a third opinion. It was a great collaboration between the three of us. There was very little label influence." (Rap-Up)
Last month, Drake discussed the importance of his new music video.
"This is my first video," he said in an interview. "I've shot a lot of videos before, but this is my first attempt to establish myself as Drake the the artist. Shooting the other videos I've done has been great. I really don't care what other people think about them, they were great experiences for me. I've learned a lot from them. Today, I'm shooting with somebody I really look up to and respect. I'm shooting with Anthony Mandler...We talked colors, we talked epic, emotion-evoking visuals. The story is actually interesting. The song is so aggressive, and it's sort of a love story in the video." (MTV)
The song's producer Boi-1da recently talked about its creation behind the boards.
"He's a dude that makes sample quality music that people think it's a sample," Boi said in an interview. "Like 'Over' sounds like a sample but it's not a sample...That's the way Drake envisioned himself coming out, it described exactly how he was feeling at this moment. You know, the first line, the hook, he comes out saying 'I know way too many people in here that I didn't know last year.' It's explaining that his life, he has all these people around him now, but at the end of the day, he's going to prevail, it's not over yet. He has a lot more time to go, that's what it is you know. He felt like this is the moment that he wanted to capture for his first single." (The Source)

Promoter represents the outcome of more than 20 years of development, use and feedback making it a state of the art method for evaluating projects. Unlike other models, it is not a spreadsheet. It does all the things a spreadsheet model can do, and more. It is used on very large and complex projects as well as smaller projects which are suited to project financing.
As projects include a greater number of stakeholders with differing requirements and interests, spreadsheet modelling has limitations which are met by stand alone executable software such as Promoter.
Promoter is the underlying technology used by a range of project finance software tools for evaluating and appraising projects in the oil, gas, petrochemical, power, pulp and paper, transportation, infrastructure and related industries. This project finance model can be used in traditional project finance cases as well as in infrastructure concessions with Public Private Partnerships (PPP) and in BOO (Build, Own, Operate), BOOT (Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) and related projects.
It predicts the cash flows, including the equity and loan draw down during the construction phase; and the revenues, operating costs, loan repayments, tax payments and dividend streams during the operating phase. It is used to assess the viability of such projects by calculating the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), payback, loan cover ratios and other key criteria.
Promoter is supplied by Project Planning and Management Ltd (PPM) as part of its consulting services. PPM are an independent group of consultants based in London.
Potential users can now run Promoter over the internet from a remote server. Set up an instant model!. Well, it takes just moments to set up the structure for a new project (a little longer to insert the figures). No need to install the software on your machine. For a limited period we are offering a free trial to potential bona fide purchasers of the software and users of our services. Please register and send us a message from the Contact Us page describing your modelling needs. Please tell us who you work for and what type of projects you are interested in. We will send you a user name and password with instructions on how to proceed.
This site is a portal for the Promoter software and for PPM's services. If you have not already done so, please register at the top of this page or on the link below and login to see additional pages describing the software. There is no restriction on who may register.
- if you find writing thousands of formulae in a spreadsheet a challenge too far
- or if you are struggling with circular references
- or if you wish to cut the costs and/or improve the efficiency of a team of modellers in a large organization
now is the time to think about the alternative.

Office of Planning, Environment, & Realty (HEP)
Planning • Environment • Real Estate
Underneath Montana's Interstate 15 south of Helena and Montana City, an abandoned stretch of railroad has been reclaimed for wildlife. And the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) converted the grassy path to a wildlife crossing without having to make a single major improvement. The new crossing is ideal for area wildlife, since it lies between a developing subdivision in the foothills of the Elkhorn Mountains and Prickly Pear Creek--an important wildlife corridor between the Elkhorns and the Continental Divide. The trails on the abandoned railroad path are a hot spot for animal-vehicle collisions, because when deer and other ungulates "pop out" onto I-15 from behind the guardrail on the fill slopes below, drivers often can't see the animals in time. So MDT crews installed 8-foot-high woven wire fencing along the fill slopes and ended it on top of large cut slopes above the highway, where deer trying to cross I-15 can be more easily seen by the traveling public. If a few deer manage to find their way around the end of the fence and become trapped on the highway, two one-way vegetated "jump-outs" offer a convenient escape route. The deer walk up the gently sloping earthen ramp and jump out over a retaining wall to the "safe" side of the fence.
"Keeping it simple" is more than a concept. It's a commitment.
It means using simple solutions when simple solutions will work.
It involves going beyond "compliance" to identify easy ways of helping wildlife and fish.
It means doing the right thing just because it's the right thing to do and because one has an opportunity to do it.
"We can build bat roosts in pre-fab bridge concrete or extend the right-of-way fence to create elkproof fencing," says April Marchese, Director of FHWA's Office of Natural and Human Environment. "Simple measures like these link habitats, reduce roadkill, and save taxpayer dollars."
This website highlights more than 100 simple, successful projects from all 50 states and beyond. Each is "easy." Most are low- or no-cost. All benefit wildlife, fish, or their habitats.
Many projects were completed only once - to protect specific species in specific environmental conditions. Others have been repeated numerous times and have become "routine."
Some projects are undertaken regularly because research has proven them effective. Others are new innovations, "best practices," or state-of-the-art strategies.
Some projects - for example, modifying mowing cycles and installing oversized culverts in streams - are common to a large number of states. Others represent a simple solution to a site-specific environmental challenge.
We invite you to explore them all. We encourage you to find out for yourselves, through this website, how transportation professionals are working with others to do the right thing for wildlife and--wherever possible--to do it "simply."

Normally, the imperative mood is used for direct commands (orders):
DormiEnglish rearranges the word order of the declarative sentence, if it's necessary, and replaces the period with an exclamation point.
'Go to sleep!'
The Latin imperative is formed by removing the "-re" ending of the present infinitive:
dormire without the "-re" is dormi.When ordering two or more people, add -"te" to the singular imperative. When telling more than one person to go to sleep, you say:
For the plural imperative of 3rd conjugation verbs, the "e" before the dropped "re" is changed to an "i." Thus, the plural imperative of mittere 'to send' is:
mittitebut the singular imperative is:
There are some irregular or irregular-seeming imperatives, especially in the case of irregular verbs. The imperative of ferre 'to carry' is ferre minus the "-re" ending, as predicted:
ferin the singular and
Fertein the plural.
The imperative of the verb nolo is used to form negative commands. To say "don't" in Latin, you ordinarily use the imperative of nolo with the infinitive of the other verb.
Noli me tangere.
Don't touch me!
Present Imperative of NoloSingular: noli
Plural: nolite
More on the Negative ImperativeYou can also use other constructions. For instance, for the prohibitive imperative "don't hurry" you would say ne festina.
More Imperatives
There are also less common passive and future imperatives. For the verb 'to love' amare, the passive imperative singular is amare and the passive imperative plural is amamini. Both passive imperatives translate as 'be loved'. For deponent verbs (verbs that are passive in form and active in meaning), the imperative is passive although the meaning is active.
The future imperatives for amare are amato, in the singular, and amatote, in the plural. This isn't a form we differentiate in English. In a sense, English imperatives are future imperatives because the person giving the order is asking that something be done in the near or distant future. Memento 'Remember!' is the future imperative of the verb memini 'to remember'. Esto 'be' is another relatively common Latin future imperative. Its plural is, as predicted, estote.
The Latin subjunctive may also be used for giving orders.

Culligan EZ-Change Under-Sink Drinking Water Filtration System US-EZ-1
A Culligan drinking water system may quickly become your favorite appliance in the kitchen. Because no other solution else offers the refreshing, healthy benefits like the clean, fresh water you get from a Culligan drinking water system. With a mere touch of a button, you will enjoy an endless supply of clean, refreshing drinking water right at your kitchen sink. It's pure convenience. Culligan's patented water filtration technology can be customized to reduce impurities* in your water like chlorine, lead, radium, and cysts, leaving you with nothing but clean, healthy Culligan water. And with better tasting water always available, you and your family will drink more water, helping everyone feel healthier.
Package Includes
How much water should I drink each day?Water is critical in regulating all body organs and temperature, and dissolving solids and moving nutrients throughout the body. Because water is naturally low in sodium, has no fat, cholesterol or caffeine and isn't flushed straight through the body like many other beverages, it's the natural solution to help reach your body's daily fluid quota. How much water should you consume? Most adults need eight to twelve 8-ounce glasses of water or fluids daily, but needs vary by activity level, health circumstances (including pregnancy) and even by age. For example, a 60-pound child would need a minimum of at least 30 ounces of water a day, or about three to four glasses. But a 180-pound man would need about 90 ounces of water a day or about 11-12 glasses. And people may need more water as they age, since thirst signals may become dull, activity levels decline and prescription drugs may dehydrate their bodies further. What are the environmentally-friendly benefits of Culligan drinking water?A Culligan drinking water system and Culligan bottled water offer two environmentally-friendly alternatives to single-serve bottled drinking water that can benefit the environment in a number of ways:
What is filtered water?Filtered water is water that has gone through filters to reduce the amount of iron, hydrogen sulfide, aesthetic chlorine taste and odor as well as microorganisms, such as cryptosporidium and giardia. Filtering water involves separating mineral particles, like particulates, iron, hydrogen sulfide or organic matter, from the water molecule (H2O). By passing water through a "filter bed," or "media bed," these granular particles are trapped – allowing the clean water to pass through.
Easy to Install
Tools Required
Utility knife, file or sand paper, Phillips screwdriver, drill, pencil, adjustable wrench, Teflon tape, towel, 1/8-inch drill bit, tape measure, safety glasses and center punch.
See detailed instructions inside before starting installation.
Easy to Change
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Caution: Filter must be protected against freezing. Failure to do so may result in cracking of the filter and water leakage. Filter must be maintained according to manufacturer's recommendations, including replacement of filter cartridges.

With the recession just barely behind us, Americans watched as powerhouse companies that had been around for generations collapse under the weight of mounting debt and low returns. Readers of our blog, as well as the rest of the nation, were especially surprised when Hostess announced that it was closing its doors after 82 years of operation because of bankruptcy.
So now the question on nearly everyone's minds is: what will 2013 hold for businesses and what big names are we likely to see vanish by the end of the New Year?
According to some financial experts, after scrutinizing American companies based on sales, customer base, market relevance and overall fiscal health, there are approximately six more brands consumers could see file for bankruptcy in 2013.
Two of the more surprising companies analysts have black listed for failure were JC Penney and American Airlines. According to many experts, JC Penney's downfall could have been the introduction of "everyday low prices" which replaced its normal coupons and sales promotions. American Airlines, whose parent company filed for bankruptcy in 2011, has been the center of buyout rumors for months now as many of its customers look to cheaper flights in the post-recession economy.
Mitsubishi Motors in North America and BlackBerry may also join the ranks as they fail to meet sales quotas and struggle to keep up with their competitors. Avon could be close behind, say many experts, who explain that with earnings in decline and the recent heat from investigators surrounding a bribery probe, some critics say that it'd be a surprise if it wasn't bought up in 2013.
With print media in decline, even Martha Stewart may not be safe from bankruptcy when it comes to her magazine. Some critics attribute her 30 percent loss in advertising to her fan base who may have lost faith in her after her insider trading scandal and time in prison.

Whitman's Lawless Again Nets Women's Weekly Tennis Award
News Release Date:
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Courtney Lawless, a first-year player on the Whitman College women's tennis team, has been named Northwest Conference Student Athlete of the Week award for the second time in two weeks.
|Courtney Lawless
Lawless led Whitman to a pair of NWC road victories last weekend, winning twice at No. 1 singles and twice at No. 1 doubles. She rolled through her matches while losing just two games in singles and one in doubles.
The victories extended her NWC record at No. 1 singles to 4-0. All four of those wins have come on the road.
Lawless and her teammates, now 4-2 on the season and 3-1 in the NWC, host their home opener at 4 p.m. Friday against Pacific in the Bratton Tennis Center. The Boxers are 4-1 overall and 3-1 in conference.
The Whitman women host two more NWC matches on Friday and Saturday, March 9-10, against Lewis & Clark and George Fox.
Lawless, who began the season with a No. 19 West Region ranking in singles, captured her first NWC award two weeks ago after winning three times at No. 1 singles in three days.
Those victories included a 6-4, 6-1 win over Linfield's Abby Olbrich, who has a No. 4 regional ranking, and a 7-5, 6-2 triumph over No. 18 Laina Matsuda of the University of La Verne. She also rolled to a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Willamette's Shannon Palmer, who holds a No. 21 regional ranking.
