From a Humboldt County Sheriff's Office press release:
On Sunday at approximately 2 a.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office was notified of a vehicle attempting to purposely force another vehicle off the road on southbound U.S. 101 near College of the Redwoods. The California Highway Patrol responded to assist.
When deputies arrived in the area they spoke with the victims, two 28 year old females. The deputies learned after speaking with them that one of the victims had recently divorced her husband. She had been staying with her sister in Eureka with her two children. While at her sisters residence she received several texts from her ex-husband Thuong Huynh, 34 years old of Eureka. She and her sister decided to leave the home they were at in Eureka with the children and leave the area. While they were driving south on U.S. 101 in their 2004 Blue Chevy Malibu they saw a 1995 dark Green Chevy Silverado pickup truck following them. The victims knew that Huynh had been driving a similar vehicle. Suddenly the truck drove up behind them and attempted to ram them.
California Highway Patrol Officers located and stopped the green 1995 Chevy truck being driven by Thuong Huynh on Singly Road near the Bear River Casino. Huynh was arrested for Assault with a Deadly Weapon and was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. His bail is set at $50,000.00.

Atlanta - As part of its tightening relationship with joint-venture partner Delta Air Lines, Virgin Atlantic recently began service to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport here, taking over one of Delta's three daily flights to London Heathrow. During an event inaugurating that route, Virgin Atlantic CEO Craig Kreeger and founder Richard Branson spoke separately to Business Travel News senior editor Michael B. Baker about how the joint venture is affecting the carrier, Virgin's long-term growth plans and the company's interests outside of air travel. An edited transcript of those conversations follows.

Since launching its Paris-Newark service this summer, all-business-class carrier La Compagnie has met its share of skepticism, given the failures of the model by most prior transatlantic entrants. Co-founders Frantz Yvelin—who also founded L'Avion, the only all-premium-class transatlantic carrier launched during the last decade that did not fold—and Peter Luethi are confident that their model of business-class-level service and seating at a price point between economy pricing and business-class pricing on legacy carriers will be sufficient to sustain and grow La Compagnie. Yvelin and Luethi on Oct. 1 spoke with BTN's Chris Davis and Michael B. Baker about the carrier's first months, its progress in gaining corporate market share and what differentiates La Compagnie from earlier models that failed in the space.
Virgin Atlantic next year will fold its domestic U.K. Little Red service, which launched in 2013 between London Heathrow and Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Manchester.
Los Angeles - Accor Hotels senior vice president of global sales Carlo Olejniczak in late July discussed with BTN editor-in-chief Chris Davis the implications of the global hotel company's move to a Salesforce customer relationship management system, the state of corporate negotiations, business travel and meetings demand and Accor's distribution strategy.
The average daily hotel rate paid by Hogg Robinson Group clients during the first half of 2014 declined year over year in most global regions, but ADR in local currency terms increased in 31 of its top 50 markets, according to the travel management company's Interim Hotel Survey, released Tuesday.
Los Angeles - The Hertz Corp. executive vice president of sales and marketing Bob Stuart late last month sat down here with Business Travel News editor-in-chief Chris Davis to discuss the car rental company's strategy in dealing with the corporate market, its approach to corporate pricing, the state of corporate demand and Hertz's approach to on-demand renting.

DEFINITION of 'Bona Vacantia'
A legal term for the situation in which property is left without any clear owner. The precise handling of such property varies depending on the jurisdiction. In most cases, the property is held by the government, and may be recovered by rightful owners or heirs. Bona vacantia property, which remains unclaimed after a certain period of time, sometimes reverts to government ownership. In other cases, the government is obliged to serve as custodian for bona vacantia property into perpetuity.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Bona Vacantia'
Common situations where property can become abandoned are when a person dies with no known heirs or next of kin, when a business is dissolved or when the property owner leaves a jurisdiction without leaving any contact information.
In the U.S. bona vacantia property is handled at the state level. Each state maintains its own unclaimed property office, where it is possible to search for bona vacantia property that may belong to you.

The Truth About SEO & Dedicated IP For Bloggers
There is a great deal of confusion surrounding the issue of whether or not having a dedicated IP offers a significant boost in terms of SEO. For a long time many webmasters believed that having a dedicated IP address would improve the website's page ranking and even although Google have dispelled this myth there are still many people who believe this to be true.
Getting To The Root of The Myth
The myth that a dedicated IP can improve SEO rankings has been around for a long time and it is difficult to trace where it actually came from. However, in 2006 Matt Cutts, head of Google's webspam team stated once and for all that there was no connection between the two. "There is no PageRank difference whatsoever between these two cases (virtual hosting vs. dedicated IP)", said Matt Cutts.
Is There Any Value In A Dedicated IP?
So is a dedicated IP address a complete waste of money? In short, no it is not – there are still reasons to choose one. One particular situation in which a dedicated IP is not only a good idea, but something of a necessity is if your website is dealing in e-commerce. When you are operating a shopping cart on your website it is very likely that you require an SSL certificate in which case you will need to ask your hosting provider to allocate you a dedicated IP address for your website. This will make sure that all of your customers' data is secure during transactions. Read More

"Prices were the cheapest that I could find"
Appliances Online were probably the most professional company I have ever dealt with. The prices were the cheapest that I could find which is the reason I went with their products. However, the contact made on the day of delivery and the impeccable service of the installation of my appliances were most impressive. Have referred to my friend and she had exactly the same experience. Appliances Online have restored my faith in the retail business and encouraged me to buy on line more often. A special mention must go to a gentleman by the name of LUKE who on several ocassions was the unlucky guy that took our phone call and guided us every inch of the way with measurements regarding our cook top and wall oven. There is no male in this household so we relied on him heavily to reassure us that the appliances would fit.
Maureen , Hinchinbrook, NSW

Hi: 9° Lo:1°
By Connie Osborne Monday 03 December 2012 Updated: 05/12 09:34
VISITORS are being urged to stay away from Worcestershire's hospitals after another Norovirus outbreak.
Only immediate family and a maximum of two visitors per patient are being allowed at Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Kidderminster Hospital while visiting at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch has been restricted to only exceptional circumstances.
Anyone with symptoms of the winter bug, such as diarrhoea and vomiting, should stay at home and call their GP or NHS Direct, rather than risk transmitting the infection further.
There is no specific treatment for norovirus, apart from letting the illness run its course, but there are some simple infection control procedures to follow:
· Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
· Wash hands thoroughly after using the toilet.
· Food preparation for others should be avoided until 48 hours after symptoms have subsided.
· Telephone your GP or NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 for advice if the symptoms do not quickly subside or any additional concerns arise.

If you're looking for anime similar to Claymore, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
Some things in life are so bad that you'd like to pretend they're just a dream. Unfortunately for Kazuki, trying to save a strange girl from being brutally killed by monsters (and ending up dying instead) is an unfortunate reality. Out of pity, the girl replaces Kazuki's heart with an alchemy-based artifact known as Kakugane, so that he may live on. With this strange device, Kazuki gains the power of Busou Renkin -- Arms Alchemy; a power that will come in handy when monsters (and worse) begin to plague his town! Kazuki soon meets the girl from his "dream" (named Tokiko) in reality, and she tells Kazuki to get on with his life; but with his sister and friends in danger, that might not be possible. Besides, if Kazuki gives up the chance to show off just how manly he can be, how can he hope to win the heart of the alluring older-sister-like Tokiko?!
If you loved the cool, powerful warrior girl that fights evil, in one of these anime, you will not be disappointed by the other. The stories focus on the fighting girls that have to forsake normal lives and the boys that do so willingly, in an attempt to protect them and make them happy. Claymore is darker and bloodier, while Busou Renkin edges on the humorous at times, but Clare (Claymore) and Tokiko (Busou Renkin) give away the same feeling. They are both scarred beings with foggy pasts, starting to care for a boy that should mean nothing to them.
The seductress known as Power is humanity's mistress. There are those who seek it and there are those who are given it. Yet, power is still power no matter what form it takes and power by its very nature corrupts humanity. This is the tale of heroes and heroines who've been granted power and fight to retain their humanity; such is embodied in Claymore and Busou Renkin.
These series are mirror images of one another. Myriads of comparisons can easily be done between the two. Some of the more common comparisons include the existence of a controlling organization, a skilled and determined female heroine, the involvement of a young and unaware hero, and the ultimate fight to retain humanity. Yet, despite all of these comparisons, the series are distinct from one another much like how two twins are still very different from one another. Therefore, if one has chosen to watch Busou Renkin or Claymore and wishes to watch something similar yet paradoxically different, then one should watch the other.
Both of these anime have the same kind of idea with every person (main character) has their own sword that can do different things. Also, Busou Renkin I belive has more romance, which really enhances everything and puts more tension and it also has a lot of cliffhangers! Claymore I believe leaves you hanging at the end also. I also believe the ideas of two people always traveling together (Clare and Raki vs. Kazuki and Tokiko) is very similar. Believe me, if you like Busou Renkin, you'll like Claymore, and vise versa!
Claymore and Busou Renkin are, at their simplest, tales about a character that has been embedded with a material that will make them stronger so they can defeat monsters, but will eventuially have negative side effects. The character must eventually come to terms with what their life is becoming and make a decision.
Of course, on top of this are some kick ass fights, and plenty of other story elements.
The story lines are handled in different ways and Claymore is slightly more mature, but I am confident that if you enjoyed one, you will gain some enjoyment from watching the other.
One dabbles in comedy and drama, the other has a drop of comedy in a full glass of drama; one has romance, the other... not so much. But what they both have is awesome fights and excitement in the midsts of the drama.
Claymore has a more mature storyline and has a more mature feel overall but if you're a fan of either one, chances are you'll find something to like in the other. And arguably, Claymore might be the better of the two, considering that Busou Renkin can be considered a generic shounen anime. Just keep that in mind.
In the feudal kingdom of Yogo, a dark secret is threatening its proud imperial family, and the Emperor intends to destroy it before it leaks out. Unfortunately this dark secret resides within his son, the young and innocent Second Prince Chagum. Enter Balsa, a wandering warrior who has sworn to save eight lives in penance for those she has taken during her violent career. Upon accepting her role as protector to Chagum, her eighth and final job, the two begin a perilous journey that tests not only their physical endurance and mental resolve, but also the tentative relationship they build along the way. Will Balsa fulfill her penance and protect Chagum as he seeks to understand the nature of his secret? Or will the Emperor's relentless assassins and other powerful enemies get them first?
Both shows feature a stoic female warrior who suddenly finds herself caring for a young boy. Themes of motherhood abound. Also, both Seirei and Claymore have compelling themes and excellent character development. And for fans of kickass action, there is plenty to be had. I highly recommend them both.
Both anime are about a young boy who travels with an older swords-woman. The woman originally hardened through battle becomes softer as the series continues. Fighting, blood, battles, and the search for love are important to each. If you like Serei no Moribito, then you are sure to like Claymore
Take a strong female fighter whose life was given to her by another fighter, and give her a young, inexperienced boy to protect. Apart from era and setting, these two anime are identical, with a mixture of the supernatural and fighting sequences.
If you're like me, then when you're watching fantasy style anime, the last thing you want is cheesiness. I think both of these shows have done well to avoid that. There's nothing more disappointing than getting really into the moment only to be ripped back out of it by a corny character or joke or facial expression. Balsa and Clare are two characters I can enjoy taking seriously.
An unlikely pair of warior woman and a boy y are thrusted together. Both women i nthe series have similar upbringings that have compelled them to protect a boy among all else.
Earth is under attack by other-dimensional threats known as Nova, and only the Pandora – girls with special implants that grant them enhanced physical abilities – can battle against them to protect the planet. The military academy Genetics helps train the Pandora, who must choose a younger boy known as a Limiter to assist them in combat. Bridgette L Sattelizer, known to her peers as 'Untouchable', is at the top of her class and lets no one near her – that is, until new student Kazuya Aoi falls into her breasts one day...
The above is a preliminary synopsis that will be updated once more episodes of the anime have been released.
Girls take foreign objects into their bodies which give them power to fight both monsters, and themselves. Freezing is a lot darker than just another ecchi anime. And you will see this more and more as the series progresses. The tragic backstories of the some of the characters, the violence, the semi-monster transformations, the death and suffering, and many other things make these two anime very similar.
Claymore is about a group of female warriors who hunt demons. The main Claymore, Claire, is supported by a young boy named Raki.
In Freezing, a group of female warriors fight an alien menace. The main character, Bridgette, is supported by a young boy named Kazuya.
If you took Claymore, brought it to the future and added some gratuitous ecchi, you would have Freezing. If you like one I think you would enjoy the other.
Both of these have a similar theme: A large order of girls are given a component of their fantastical enemies in order to gain the power to defeat them and the main female protagonist seems to possess an enomrmous amount of power. They also are accompanied by a hapless young boy and like to fight amongst themselves but band together when fighting the enemy. Furthermore both animes ended with an indication that more was yet to follow. Freezing is more ecchi and Claymore is demon-oriented but both can be pretty violent.
These series each follow a sect of super powered women. Near the start of the series, the lead female meets a lead male, a more or less worthless individual that manages to aid her. These series each have some non-human bad guy group that these girls are supposed to fight. Finally, I believe each series will have some sort of larger mystery behind the super powered women.
Freezing and Claymore are essentially the same thing with different bells and whistles. Freezing's main story line is a group of elite fighters both female and male defend the city. Where as Claymore has a group of elite female fighters going around the country killing monsters. Both male leads are idiots and to me more or less takes away from the show rather than adding to it. If you like one you should like the other.
Have you ever felt like the world would be a better place if certain people weren't around? Such grim daydreams might occur when watching the dismal daily news, but on one fateful day, Light Yagami finds that these daydreams can become reality. By pure happenstance, he comes across a black notebook entitled "Death Note", whose text within states that whoever's name is written on its pages will die. With the aid of the death god Ryuk, Light takes it upon himself to rid the world of its corruption, ushering in a new era of purity one death at a time. But as Ryuk foretells, Light's actions will not go unchallenged...
Both Claymore and Death Note have very dark themes and a non-conventional plot (that you really have to pay attention to to understand). Although the lead characters have different ideas (Light has a twisted view of justice while Clare is more sensible about it), they do have things in common: for one they're both serious, and (I think the most significant similarity of both leads) they both have an intense desire for power to achieve what they want.
Both Death Note and Claymore are well planned out and good series. The struggle of survival can make a man/woman do a lot of things, and it's cool to see characters going further then you think they would to achieve their goals.
Although Death Note seems mildly unrelated to Claymore, both encompass very dark themes and twisted views of death. The characters of Light (Death Note) and Claire (Claymore) have a desire to achieve their original goal, which almost blinds them to the fact of everything else. They are simply put in a struggle for survival.
Both series involve fairly depressing plots and a mass of death. Though Claymore is far more action based and westernized than Death Note. Both also have a similar animation style which some viewers might have adored from the one and therefore could love in the other. Finally both feature opening songs created by the band 'Nightmare' which viewers like me will go crazy about!
Dante works as a demon hunter for the office of Devil May Cry, and as he is always in debt he doesn't have the luxury to turn down jobs as long as they pay well. His latest assignment is to be a bodyguard for the young Patty Lowe while she receives her inheritance. During the mission he was able to defeat the demons that got in his way and deliver Patty safely, but upon completion of the mission Dante discovers that Patty will be staying with him – indefinitely! Now, Dante must not only hunt demons and coexist peacefully with other hunters, but also handle the responsibility of taking care of a little girl!
Both contains lots of cool demon slaying and the main character is really cool in both animes. Both Dante in Devil May Cry and Clare in Claymore are the type who kill first and ask later. If you like one of theese you should like the other. P.S lots of blood it to be expected :)
Claymore and Devil May Cry share protagonists that hunt and kill demons but who are part demon themselves. They both have plenty of bloody action scenes involving demons getting hacked apart by huge swords. If you liked one you should give the other a try.
There is no denying that Claymore and Devil May Cry are similar. The main characters (Claire and Dante) are so much alike in their cool self-demeanor and personalities in dealing with the people around them. Not to mention that they both conveniently happen to be half-demon/half-human. They also have a very pronounced soft side that comes through when they are interacting with the children they seem to pick up along the way.

Ann Coulter (All emphases added, TD)
"Every other riot I've ever heard of was touched off by some spontaneous event that exploded into mob violence long before any media trucks arrived. This time, the networks gave us a countdown to the riot, as if it were a Super Bowl kickoff.
"From the beginning, Officer Darren Wilson's shooting of Michael Brown wasn't reported like news. It was reported like a cause.
...Full article here....
"The looters aren't the community!
"The community doesn't want black thugs robbing stores and sauntering down the middle of its streets. The community doesn't want to be assaulted by Big Mike. The community didn't want its stores burned down.
" That community testified in support of Officer Darren Wilson. About a half-dozen black witnesses supported Officer Wilson's version of what happened. One was a black woman, who saw the shooting from the Canfield Green apartments. Crying on the stand, she said, "I have a child and that could have been my son."
"And yet, she confirmed all crucial parts of Wilson's account. She said "the child" (292-pound Big Mike) never had his hands up and the cop only fired when "the baby" was coming at him. "Why won't that boy stop?" she asked her husband.
" I always want to know more about the heroic black witnesses. They are put in a position no white person will ever be in and do the right thing by telling the truth -- then go into hiding from "the community" being championed by goo-goo liberals.
" White people don't feel any obligation to defend some thug just because he's white. Only blacks are expected to lie on behalf of criminals of their own race. "
"But real heroism doesn't interest liberals. They only ooh-and-ahh over blacks with rap sheets. The only meaningful white racism anymore is the liberal infantilization of black people. "

Election marks a new era in Nashua
Sean McGuinness will be the new Ward 1 alderman, David Schoneman secured the Ward 3 alderman position, Pamela Brown will take over the Ward 4 seat, Fire Commissioner Michael Soucy will be the new Ward 5 alderman and Ken Siegel will represent Ward 9.
"I love Nashua and the rich diversity in our ward, and look forward to being of greater service to my community," Brown said on Wednesday. She beat out incumbent Arthur Craffey for the position.
"I am excited to get started, and my top priority will be to respond to the needs of my constituents and help make the city come together and work constructively as a team," said Siegel.
"I have no regrets," Pressly said on Wednesday. "I believe I've had an amazingly wonderful political career that spanned many years in many different areas."
Sheehan admits it was a risk seeking an at-large position rather than her existing Ward 3 alderman seat, but said now was the ideal time to make the change.
The dynamics of the Board of Aldermen are about to change, according to Pressly, who said she believes it will be for the better.
"I don't take anything for granted," he said Tuesday prior the results being announced.
Tuesday's election results have prompted two anticipated recounts.
Shea was seeking the Ward 3 alderman seat, but lost by six votes to Schoneman, a part-time flight instructor and pilot. Shea, a registered nurse, won 495 votes compared to Schoneman's 501.
With a team of more than 40 volunteers helping to hold signs, raise money and make phone calls, Shea said he owes it to his supporters to seek a recount.
On Wednesday, Schoneman said he knew the race was going to be tight, but didn't think it would be within a six-vote margin. Still, he doesn't expect the recount to produce a different outcome.
Schoneman says he is grateful that the residents of Nashua trust him enough to represent Ward 3.
"I am very excited about winning, but also mindful of Mr. Craffey's intention to request a recount. He has every right to do so, and I respect that," said Brown. "Arthur has been a true gentleman throughout the campaign, and (Tuesday) showed kindness and generosity — he even offered to buy me lunch."
"I am disappointed," Craffey said of his loss, arguing that Brown may not be able to fully prioritize her aldermanic duties since she also serves as a state representative.
Bergeron said the candidates have until the end of the business day on Friday to submit a formal written request for a recount. The Board of Aldermen is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, at which time it will vote to accept the election returns, according to Bergeron.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Make all drivers prove they're worthy
Most of us never have to show we're still fit to drive
Perhaps it was an accident, perhaps not. But it is the thin edge of the wedge on a public debate we likely should have been having some time ago.
This past Tuesday afternoon, a car driven by an 86-year-old man was backing out of a stall in a bank parking lot on McPhillips Street near Machray Avenue. The car struck a 10-year-old girl who was walking on the sidewalk that runs alongside the lot. She remains in hospital in stable condition.
Winnipeg police are still investigating the collision but that has not stopped the public debate about older drivers. Should they be forced to give up their licences at a specified age? At the very least, should they be forced to undergo mandatory retesting to ensure they are able to safely operate a motor vehicle?
Many will see the incident this week as proof enough that something needs to be done. Unfortunately, as has been noted in this space before, the plural of anecdote is not data. One cannot rush to a solution before understanding the problem.
First off, Manitoba Public Insurance says older drivers don't constitute the greatest safety threat. Younger drivers, especially those who have just won the right to drive, are statistically the most dangerous. That explains why, for example, the province introduced the graduated-licensing system to slowly award younger drivers the privileges to drive at night, or with passengers. This is effective public policy.
MPI and other Canadian sources believe older drivers do not present the same risk. Notwithstanding the fact that many no longer possess the vision or reflexes of younger drivers, they are generally more cautious. Or put another way, they take fewer chances. While that is generally true, efforts to examine the problem around the world have come up with conflicting conclusions.
Concern over aging drivers is top of mind almost everywhere because, particularly in developed countries, the population is getting older. And because with every single incident, the focus shifts rather quickly to policies to examine the capacity of older people to drive. California requires drivers older than 70 who are involved in two or more crashes in a year to undergo retesting. Efforts to institute similar measures in other states have been defeated by groups such as the American Association of Retired Persons.
The politics in Canada is similar. Manitoba Attorney General Andrew Swan was only too happy to quash the idea of mandatory testing for older drivers. Why? Older Manitobans are more likely to vote than younger citizens. Regardless of the practical advantages of a mandatory retesting strategy, applying it only to those over the age of 65 would be political suicide. The province, through MPI, has introduced some unpopular but effective policies -- such as forcing vehicle owners to install immobilizers to cut down on auto theft -- but mandatory retesting for older drivers would be a direct assault on the most politically potent constituency in the province.
Solutions? There is a strong case to be made for regular, mandatory retesting for all drivers, regardless of age. There is ample proof on the streets of Winnipeg every day that drivers not only do not know the rules of the road, they are completely ignorant of the principles of defensive driving. Even simple things such as the rules of engagement at an intersection with four-way stop signs seem to elude an alarmingly high proportion of the total drivers.
As it stands now, the gross majority of us never have to demonstrate we have retained knowledge of traffic laws or safe driving techniques. As well, we more or less get to decide ourselves when it's time to give up the keys. Other than the inconvenience, is there not a strong argument in favour of having drivers tested every 10 years until the results show they're not up to it anymore? I'd hazard a guess that an alarmingly high number of drivers under the age of 65 would lose their licences just by demonstrating the abject stupidity and poor judgment that distinguishes their driving performance on a daily basis.
There does not seem to be a jurisdiction in the world that has taken that approach. Perhaps politicians fear it would be deemed too unpopular. However, if the focus were solely on safety, surely after a period of adjustment, we would see the benefits of having to prove on a regular basis that we deserve to be behind the wheel.
It is unlikely any government will pick solely on older people when it comes to improving road safety. However, a system where all of us, regardless of age, were asked to prove that we still deserve to hold a driver's licence might just be something that everyone could support.

The Supreme Court of Illinois announced the filing of lawyer disciplinary orders on March 14, 2014, during the March Term of Court. Sanctions were imposed because the lawyers engaged in professional misconduct by violating state ethics law.
Mr. Landgraf, who was licensed in 1994, was disbarred on consent following his guilty plea in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on charges of bank fraud.
Ms. Bajaj, who was licensed in 2010, was suspended for three years and until further order of the Court. She was convicted of a class A misdemeanor charge of prostitution. In addition, she made material misrepresentations to the Illinois Board of Admissions to the Bar in her bar application and later failed to be candid to the ARDC during the course of the disciplinary investigation.
The appointment is effective April 1, 2014 and will expire December 5, 2016, when the position will be filled by the winner of the 2016 General Election
"I am honored to be selected to fill the vacancy in the Fifth District Appellate Court," Chief Judge Schwarm said. "My humble thanks go to Justice Lloyd Karmeier and the Supreme Court for giving me this opportunity.
"I am especially pleased to follow retiring Justice Jim Wexstten, an outstanding jurist and colleague."
The Illinois Supreme Court has announced the creation of a Civil Justice Division within the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts (AOIC), charged with supporting the Court's multi-dimensional initiatives to improve access to justice throughout the state. In addition, Chief Justice Rita B. Garman has named Timothy W. Kelly of Bloomington as the next chairman of the Access to Justice Commission.
In 2012, the Court established an Access to Justice Commission to "promote, facilitate, and enhance equal access to justice with an emphasis on access to the Illinois civil courts and administrative agencies for all people, particularly the poor and vulnerable."
The Commission, made up of dedicated volunteers, has made great strides in improving access for non-native English speakers and in standardizing various forms and procedures, making them more user-friendly for pro se litigants.

The Employee Classification Act (820 ILCS 185/1) was enacted to "address the practice of misclassifying employees as independent contractors" in the construction industry. The Act broadly defines "performing services" for a construction contractor, and then states that an individual performing such services is "deemed to be an employee of the employer."
The Illinois Supreme Court announced on Friday that news cameras and microphones will be allowed in trial courtrooms in Peoria County in the 10th Judicial Circuit. Peoria County becomes the 36th county in Illinois to participate in the pilot project allowing cameras in trial courtrooms.
Under Local Rule 15, the remaining four counties in the Circuit will also join the pilot project in 60 days, bringing the grand total of participating counties in Illinois to 40 and the total number of participating circuits to 14. The 10th Judicial Circuit consists of Marshall, Peoria, Putnam, Stark and Tazewell counties in central Illinois.
By Kerry J. Bryson, Office of the State Appellate Defender
In a unanimous decision, the Court reviewed the revestment doctrine. Since its first application in a criminal case in 1983 (in People v. Kaeding, 98 Ill. 2d 237), the revestment doctrine has always provided that a circuit court may be revested with jurisdiction over an untimely post-judgment motion where there is (1) active participation by the parties, (2) without objection, (3) in proceedings inconsistent with the merits of the earlier judgment. At issue was the meaning of the last element, "proceedings inconsistent with the merits of the earlier judgment." The Court clarified that the last element is met only in those circumstances where both parties assert positions that support setting aside at least part of the judgment. A failure to object on the basis of timeliness is not sufficient to revest the court with jurisdiction, rejecting the position asserted by the defendant.The Court also clarified that the appropriate result in the case of improper revestment is not for the appellate court to dismiss the appeal. Rather, the appellate court should vacate the trial court's order addressing the merits of an untimely motion and should order that the untimely motion be dismissed.This opinion confirms that the revestment doctrine is very narrow and will only apply in situations where both parties agree that there should be some modification to the final judgment. Thus, no party should rely on its ability to invoke the revestment doctrine and revest court with jurisdiction over an untimely pleading.
The Illinois Supreme Court issued amended Rule 313 on Monday, doubling filing fees in appellate cases. The fee for appellants and petitioners will be $50 and the fee for all other parties will be $30. The rule change takes effect on Jan. 1, 2015. Read the full text at Rule 313.
Our panel of leading appellate attorneys review Friday's Illinois Supreme Court opinions in the civil case Gillespie Community Unit School District No. 7 v. Wight & Co. and the criminal cases People v. Elliott, People v. Hommerson and People v. McChriston.
Gillespie Community Unit School District No. 7 v. Wight & Co.
By Karen Kies DeGrand, Donohue Brown Mathewson & Smyth LLC
The Illinois Supreme Court applied a five-year statute of limitations to bar a school district's lawsuit alleging that an architect's misrepresentations resulted in the district's decision to build an elementary school that was condemned less than seven years after it was built. A history of coal mining activity in the Benld/Gillespie area of the state prompted the plaintiff, Gillespie Community Unit School District No. 7, to contract with defendant, Wight & Company, to perform, among other architectural services, a "site mine investigation" before determining to go forward with the project. Based on the analysis provided regarding the risk of mine "subsidence," that is, collapse, the school district went ahead at the site selected. Unfortunately, in March, 2009, a coal mine subsided beneath the new building, which was severely damaged.
The Supreme Court of Illinois announced the filing of lawyer disciplinary orders on January 17, 2014, during the January Term of Court (unless noted). Sanctions were imposed because the lawyers engaged in professional misconduct by violating state ethics law.
Mr. Lutz, who was licensed to practice in 1977, was disbarred on consent. He committed a criminal act, battery, when he inappropriately touched three different female clients when he was serving as their assigned public defender.
Mr. Peel, who was licensed in 1968, was disbarred after a federal conviction for bankruptcy fraud and possession of child pornography. He was suspended on an interim basis on January 11, 2008.
Mr. Brenman, who was licensed in 1997, was suspended for three years and until further order of the Court. He committed the criminal acts of domestic battery, driving under the influence, failing to stop at an accident scene, unlawful possession of firearms, harassment, intimidation, criminal trespass, invasion of privacy and battery. Further, he failed to notify the ARDC of criminal convictions in California and Indiana and then failed to cooperate with the ARDC investigation into his misconduct.
The Illinois Supreme Court is expected to release opinions in the following six cases on Friday, Jan. 24. Quick Takes on each case will be published in Monday's E-Clips due to ISBA network downtime.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Federal Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) Task Force, focusing on: (1) the source of its funding; and (2) how it uses its funding. GAO noted that: (1) between 1994 and 1995, the Food and Consumer Service, Financial Management Service, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and Social Security Administration (SSA) provided a total of $8.1 million to the Task Force; (2) the Task Force is supported by direct payments, in-kind contributions, and funding for salaries and benefits; (3) of the four agencies, the Food and Consumer Service was the single largest contributor of funds; (4) for 1996, the Food and Consumer Service and Financial Management Service intend to provide the Task Force $2 million and $250,000, respectively; (5) HHS and SSA are unable to commit any funds to the Task Force because they have not received their 1996 appropriations; (6) the Task Force used its funds to pay employee salaries and benefits, administrative expenses, and for contract support; (7) most of the Task Force's 1995 expenditures were for contract support because it relies heavily on contractors to provide technical assistance in carrying out its objectives; (8) the Task Force's contractural efforts have helped it develop an initial strategy to establish a nationwide EBT system and the requirements for a prototype EBT system; and (9) although each agency continues to support the Task Force's objectives, they also continue to promote their own EBT systems.
