Paris Wins Parvi.org in Disturbing Domain Name Arbitration Decision
Paris wins domain as arbitrator throws out "registration AND use" in bad faith.
In September I wrote about the city of Paris, France filing a UDRP against three domain names: WifiParis.com, Wifi-Paris.com, and Parvi.org. Paris was just handed a victory in the Parvi.org case; the other two cases are pending.
What's disturbing about the Parvi.org case is that the panel found that the domain name was likely not registered in bad faith, but still handed the domain over on the basis that it was later used in bad faith.
Under the header "Reconsideration of the bad faith requirement", arbitrator Andrew F. Christie cited previous cases decided by a "distinguished" panelist who found that domain names don't need to be registered AND used in bad faith, as the UDRP states. Instead, this panelist decided that a domain not registered in bad faith could still violate the policy if it was later used in bad faith.
Christie writes:
The intent of the Policy is to provide a fair and efficient mechanism for trademark owners to obtain redress in situations where their trademark rights are abused as a result of bad faith activities of domain name registrants. There seems no reason in logic or in principle why the availability of redress should be confined to situations where bad faith is present at the time of acquisition of the domain name
Well, the policy is also supposed to provide a fair mechanism for domain name owners. That Paris filed two egregious cases of reverse domain name hijacking at the same time it filed the Parvi.org case should cause any panel to give the benefit of the doubt to the respondent.
Indeed, Christie doesn't think the domain owner knew about the Parvi trademark at the time of his registration:
…Although it is certainly possible that the Respondent was aware of the Complainantâss PARVI trademark, and of the Complainant's programs under that trademark, at the time the Respondent registered the domain name, this seems unlikely given the different geographical locations and native languages of the Complainant and the Respondent. Thus, this Panel is not satisfied, on the present record, of the probability that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name with the intention of benefiting from the Complainant's PARVI trademark.
If the domain wasn't registered in bad faith but was later used in a way to violate Paris' trademark, its redress is in the courts, not UDRP. This sort wholesale change and expansion of UDRP by panelists is one of the reasons people are questioning the implementation of the policy. Whenever a panelist writes that his reasoning is "a logical and incremental evolution of panel thinking", one should give pause.
Perhaps Andrew Christie is on a crusade to implement his vision on UDRP. He was also the presiding panelist on the Project.me case, which broke with precedent by suggesting that the top level domain should be considered part of the domain for trademark purposes.

Paris Wins Parvi.org in Disturbing Domain Name Arbitration Decision – http://tinyurl.com/ygryn8g
Was the name ever used after the fact to infringe, yes or no?
Absolutely correct. The UDRP is NOT a replacement for trademark law. This filing clearly should have been denied and the complainant directed to court for redress.
And you won't find seizure of legal property to be common redress under trademark law. Seize of property is a very extreme measure; property rights are even protected under the US Constitution. Certainly not something that should be decided capriciously (as has become all too common under UDRP). At UDRP's current rate in eroding property rights, complaints of jaywalking and inappropriate attire may soon be sufficient to stripe ownership. Let's hope this egregious decision is an aberration and this panelist joins an AA chapter or otherwise gets it together.
Paris Wins Parvi.org in Disturbing Domain Name Arbitration Decision http://ff.im/-cgvlj
Andrew Allemann I think the answer for Josh question is YES.
"Perhaps Andrew Christie is on a crusade to implement his vision on UDRP"
Yes. In fact, WIPO is funneling cases to him for the purpose of building up enough precedent to eliminate the idea that bad faith need be manifest at the time of registration.
Panelist Christie, by the way, knows utterly nothing about Latin, since the root term is parvo-/parvi- depending on number. For example, "Tres Porci Parvi" is "Three Little Pigs" in Latin. This is just another example of UDRP Panelists making up facts while exercising fake erudition. Christie is either disingenuous or stupid.
If you simply Google "parvi.org cobalt", it's absolutely clear what the site was being used for, that it had nothing to do with Paris municipal internet service, that it is not in French, and that the Response must have been fairly inarticulate.
Go ahead, check it out: http://www.google.com/search?q=parvi.org+cobalt
It was a Wiki about networking systems, not a "social networking" site. Again, either the Response was poorly worded, or Christie's English ability is comparable to his Latin.
He's moving the site to Parvi.us.
I would venture there is a good probability Paris likely baited the Parvi.org owner into setting up the perception of use in bad faith.
"I would venture there is a good probability Paris likely baited the Parvi.org owner into setting up the perception of use in bad faith."
Correct, the City of Paris has been sued twice in the US for threatening domain name owners, so they have adopted the all too common strategy of taking advantage of naive responses to carefully worded inquiries.
While I do not justify the means in which it was handled I have to say that if the owner was infringing the end result would have… I should say should have been the same. I would have to say any shock or horror here is directed more at the means than the actual loss of the name. Now I read John's reply and can say it seems both the means and out come are concerning.
Josh, is it reasonable to have your car seized because someone said you cut them off in traffic? Property seizure is NOT acceptable except under the most extreme circumstances. And the fact that its become a UDRP norm shows how obscenely skewed this process has become.
To make the process fair, how about we award respondent with a property deed to the complaint's home for cases of reverse domain hijacking?
I think the question that needs answering is this: should people be forced to comply with unenforceable trademarks by a third party? That's what WIPO is doing via the UDRP.
wipo are fools, didnt we already know that?
Best. UDRP. Line. Ever.
"Like the panelist in the Octogen trio of cases, this Panel finds guidance in answering this question from the analysis and reasoning adopted in the Telstra decision."
Of course he does.
He WROTE the Telstra decision.
[…] that did not exist at the time he initially registered the domain. A technology enthusiast recently lost parvi.org to the City of Paris in spite of the arbiter finding that there was no evidence that he registered […]
You wrote:
If the domain wasn't registered in bad faith but was later used in a way to violate Paris' trademark, its redress is in the courts, not UDRP
Be careful what you wish for. You are correct that the UDRP requires both bad faith registration and bad faith use. However, the ACPA only requires one of the two.
I would counsel domainers to really think about what it means though, if it is easier to win an ACPA case than a UDRP. When a UDRP filing fee is $1500, but a federal court filing fee is $300, there is already incentive to file a court case over a UDRP. A UDRP complaint is a lot more work than an ACPA complaint (although an ACPA case is more expensive than a complete UDRP).
If trademark owners are more incentivized to file ACPA claims than UDRP claims, do you think that they are going to file ACPA claims and *only* ask for a transfer of the domain name? No… they'll ask for statutory damages ($1000 to $100,000) and they'll ask for attorneys fees (which could be awarded).
I agree that the logic in this case is convoluted. I mean, its a stretch that would make the Goatse guy cringe. Nevertheless, if it becomes the prevailing view, then it becomes the prevailing view, and we'll have to accept it.
My voice is here to ask you to consider whether it would be a bad thing that mark holders might have a heightened incentive to file in a forum where there are no damages available. At the end of the day, a domainer who uses a domain in bad faith is probably not going to get away with it. But, if he's going to lose, better to lose at WIPO than in federal court.
[…] in 2009 the city filed a UDRP against Parvi.org. In another ridiculous decision handed down by panelist Andrew F. Christie, Paris won the UDRP despite the domain not likely being […]

The people who play the man in the big red suit say it's the best job in the world.
Although they're only employed for about two months of the year, it certainly doesn't stop these dedicated men from donning long white beards and red velvet jumpsuits.
But a few men across the U.S. are attempting to challenge the iconic image of Santa Claus, with the simple phrase: "Why can't Santa be black?"
Dion "Santa Dee" Sinclair has started an entire business around the image of the African-American Santa Claus. Sinclair, along with his two other black Santa Clauses, Santa Bob and Santa Tee, have provided the same Santa magic to children in multicultural communities in Atlanta, Georgia. Sinclair believes it's important for children, especially minorities, to have a prominent icon they can culturally identify with.
"A black Santa is something that they can associate with. It's black Santa, and I'm a black person," Sinclair told theGrio in a phone interview. "[These kids] can associate with having a black Santa or a black angel on the Christmas tree because they're black. There shouldn't always be a white angel or a white Santa."
Having grey hair since he was a child and a"salt and pepper" beard in high school, Sinclair said that becoming the iconic role of Santa Claus was his destiny. Now, this southern Santa has turned his 'destiny' into a family-run business hiring everyone in his family from his mother who plays Mrs. Claus to his youngest daughter who stars as Elf Gigi.
Sinclair, who has been in the industry for 11-years, has come across children and parents alike who are surprised to see an African-American Santa Claus. Sinclair, in response, always refers to his favorite poem called "Can Santa be Black?"
Written by BJ Wrights, the poem tells a whimsical story about how Santa can take the shape and form of any physical appearance. An excerpt from the poem reads:
"My skin has been black, white, yellow, red, brown;
My eyes have been slanted, crossed, and round.
Sometimes I have been a she:
All these things are a part of me."
This poem, Sinclair adds, helps children understand that the fantasy of Santa Claus can be "anything you want him to be."
The Atlanta-based Santa, who is a member of many of the prominent Santa Claus communities, hopes that other men of minority backgrounds, such as Asians and Hispanics, will also join him and don the famous red suit so they can also represent their communities.
"It's very hard to find a Hispanic or even an Oriental Santa Claus. I haven't been able to find one, but it'd be great if there were some out there," he says.

Google's Schmidt Expects Washington to Approve Motorola/Lenovo Deal
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Google (GOOG) Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt is confident that Lenovo's $2.91 billion purchase of the search giant's Motorola Mobility business will gain the approval of U.S. regulators, according to a published media report.
The former Google CEO sees "a good chance" of the deal winning the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS), Reuters reported. The Treasury Department Committee is an inter-agency panel that reviews foreign buyers' acquisitions of U.S. assets for national security threats.
"There's a good chance of it being OK," Schmidt said at a dinner hosted by the Cato Institute think tank. "We would not have done the transaction if we thought it would be in trouble."
Google announced last week a $2.91 billion deal to sell its Motorola Mobility business to Chinese tech giant Lenovo. The Mountain View, Calif.-based firm has described the sale as "an important move" for Android users, adding that Motorola will be better served by Lenovo's fast-growing smartphone business.Speaking at the Cato Institute dinner, Schmidt also pointed to Lenovo's experience of similar deals with American firms, such as its 2005 purchase of IBM's PC division. Last month Lenovo also announced a $2.3 billion deal to acquire IBM's (IBM) low-end x86 server business, an acquisition which is expected to receive a lengthy examination from CFIUS. Google shares rose 1.92% to $1,143. 84 before market open on Tuesday. -- Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >Contact by Email.

Listen to Phillip Phillips on iHeartRadio
Bookmark this under super awkward. Die-hard Phillip Phillips fan (otherwise known as a Philatic) Carly Meyers put together a re-write of the singer's mega-hit "Home," with words asking him to go to prom with her. As cute and semi-stalker-ish as it was, Phillips turned her down, appearing on "Good Morning America" Thursday (April 24) to break her heart.
"What's up Carly, my friends at 'Good Morning America' sent me your incredible prom proposal" he said, via pre-taped video, "and it sounded so lovely, but sadly, I won't be able to make it."
Aww. But never fear, he offered an equally appealing alternative. "Instead, I'm going to give you and your friend some tickets to my show at the PNC Bank Arts Centre July 12. So, I can't wait to see you and hear all about your prom!"

Are You Desperately Looking for Alternative Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatments That Really Work?
When I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, my rheumatologist started me on the traditional course of treatment immediately. As is typical, I was prescribed prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, and methotrexate - very potent and toxic drugs.
A recent study published in the Lancet looked at the long term outcome of traditional rheumatoid arthritis treatments an found that
after 20 years of treatment with drugs such as prednisone, methotrexate, penicillamine, and oral gold, half of the patients were either dead or disabled.
Like many people, perhaps like yourself, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis young - in my early 30s. I couldn't imagine taking these toxic RA drugs for the rest of my life, and I certainly didn't want to suffer an early death because of them. So
I started doing research into alternative RA treatments. This website was created to share with you what I have learned.
When I first started doing research, I was discouraged. Most of what I found on the web only scratched the surface as far as exploring the various alternatives, and my Rheumatologist wasn't willing to explore
alternative treatments with me.
In actuality, there have been lots of scientific studies done on various alternative rheumatoid arthritis treatments. Some seem to work better than others, but we will explore them all here. For certain, there are no magic bullets. Every body is different, and everyone responds to treatments differently, but my goal is to give you hope...
in remission and I am managing my RA naturally
, primarily with diet and supplements.
If you are interested in treating your rheumatoid arthritis naturally, I believe
the key to success is knowledge
. You really have to understand RA - what likely causes it, what
triggers are, what it does to your body, and about autoimmune disease in general, in order to understand the different treatment options available and how they can affect your disease.
You also need a great deal of determination. Treating rheumatoid arthritis naturally can be a lot more work than the traditional method of simply popping a few pills. So if you're ready to take charge of your health once and for all, I invite you to keep reading through this website.
Please remember that I am not a doctor, so I can't give you any medical advice. This site is intended to provide you with information only. If you see an alternative RA treatment on this site that you'd like to try, talk it over with your doctor - especially herbal supplements, as some of them can react adversely with some medications.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Szmyd-Potapczuk, Anna Victoria URN etd-10012009-113551 Document Title Molecular epidemiology of human rabies diagnosed in South Africa between 1983 and 2007 Degree MSc Department Microbiology and Plant Pathology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof L H Nel Committee Chair Dr J T Paweska Committee Co-Chair Dr J Weyer Committee Co-Chair Dr W Markotter Committee Co-Chair Keywords
- molecular epidemiology
- human rabies
- South Africa
Date 2009-10-01 Availability unrestricted AbstractHuman rabies is a zoonotic viral disease that affects thousands of people worldwide, especially in the developing countries of Africa and Asia. There are two distinct biotypes of lyssavirus genotype 1 circulating in South Africa: a canine biotype circulating in domestic dogs, bat-eared foxes and black-backed jackals and a mongoose biotype circulating in herpestids. The presence of LBV, MOKV and DUVV has been demonstrated in South African animal species, but apart from two documented cases of Duvenhage infection in humans, no other lyssaviruses other than genotype 1 have been reported to clinically manifest in humans.
Since canine rabies is endemic to the KwaZulu Natal province where the majority of human rabies cases occur, dog vaccination campaigns have been implemented to control and prevent rabies in the region. The first outbreak of canine rabies in the province from the 1950s to 1968 was successfully controlled, but after its re-emergence in the 1970s dog vaccination campaigns have been unsuccessful for a variety of reasons, including lack of commitment for implementation of effective control measures and the difficulty of accessing certain areas in the province. In addition to these problems, human rabies emerged in the Limpopo province during 2005/2006. This emergence was potentially due to the introduction of canine rabies from either black-backed jackals or dogs in Zimbabwe, as there was a large increase of canine rabies cases in the province before the human outbreak. Some dog vaccination campaigns and stray dog population control measures were established in the province, but there are still human rabies cases being reported from the region annually. In order to gain a clearer understanding of human rabies in the country, this study was undertaken to elucidate various epidemiological aspects of human rabies in the country, to correlate the existing knowledge of animal rabies cycles to human rabies cycles and also to determine whether or not lyssaviruses other than genotype 1 have been involved in causing human rabies in South Africa.
The study confirmed that the domestic dog is the primary vector for human rabies in South Africa, with most cases occurring in the KwaZulu Natal province. Men and young adults under the age of 21 were most affected. Only very small portion of affected people sought and received post-exposure prophylaxis. This was either due to a lack of vaccine and immunoglobulin or a lack of knowledge of the risk of the disease after an animal exposure.
The findings from the molecular epidemiology study reinforced the previous findings which correlate most human rabies cases with the coastal KwaZulu Natal canine cluster identified in previous studies. As humans are a dead end host to rabies infection, it was expected that the molecular epidemiology of the human rabies isolates would mimic the molecular epidemiology of the existing animal cycles and this proved to be the case. The human rabies virus isolates all grouped closely to their representative animal cycles, which grouped by respective geographical location. The study also reinforced findings of the establishment of a new Free State canine rabies cycle, originating from the coastal KwaZulu Natal canine rabies cluster.
The primary laboratory confirmation test of rabies is the fluorescent antibody test which does not distinguish between genotypes or the two biotypes circulating in South Africa. The study was undertaken, in part, to elucidate the various genotypes and biotypes responsible for human rabies in South Africa, as there is a large diversity of lyssaviruses in South Africa, evidenced by the fact that the first ever reported human rabies case in South Africa was due to a mongoose exposure. Molecular epidemiology is a subfield of epidemiology and thus can be used to reach epidemiological conclusions. No lyssavirus genotypes other than genotype 1 were implicated in the human rabies cases, indicating that the African rabies-related lyssavirus exposures are uncommon and while exposures can happen (as shown in 2006), they are not likely to be of significant public health concern and the focus should be on genotype 1.
The findings of the study emphasize the importance of rabies as a zoonotic disease of humans in South Africa, which despite having severe health impact on the local human populations is still greatly underestimated. Moreover, the study summarizes epidemiological data of known human rabies cases for a period of 1983 to 2007 and thereby provides a useful and comprehensive report on the status of the disease in South Africa for last 25 years. The database of human rabies cases established during this study can then assist in the future planning and prioritizing of rabies control and prevention efforts in the country.

Everton boss Moyes likes old-fashioned style
Everton boss David Moyes feels the task of containing strikers like Oldham's towering cup talisman Matt Smith is something of an unfamiliar one for modern-day top-flight defenders.
The problems 6ft 6in Smith has caused for Barclays Premier League sides this year have seen him emerge as an FA Cup hero.
In round four he netted a brace in the npower League One outfit's shock 3-2 win over Liverpool at Boundary Park.
The 23-year-old, who was signed by Oldham from non-league Solihull Moors in 2011, then headed home a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser as Moyes' Toffees were held to a 2-2 fifth-round draw at the same ground.
Speaking ahead of this evening's replay at Goodison Park, Moyes - a former centre-back - said of Smith: "That type of centre-forward was probably more prevalent in my day - we had one of them every week.
"I think it is less and less so the case now in the Premier League, so that is what makes it a little bit more unusual.
"I don't think there are quite as many teams using a big man the way Oldham do.
"But it is part of football and there is no right or wrong way to play.
"The job is to win, and whatever way you choose to do it, as long as it is within the rules, that is okay."
Moyes believes Oldham deserved the replay for their efforts in the original tie, although he did think there was a foul on Toffees goalkeeper Tim Howard in the build-up to Smith's goal that should have been punished.
The manager may well feel he is due some good fortune in this evening's game, having also been aggrieved about the amount of stoppage time that was played in Saturday's 2-1 Barclays Premier League defeat at Norwich, which was settled by a 94th-minute Grant Holt strike.
Asked if he reckoned officials' decisions had been costing his team of late, Moyes said: "Yes.
"I thought it was a free-kick leading up to the goal in the Oldham match, and I thought the referee ran over time in the game against Norwich.
"I'm sure we have had some good decisions this year that have maybe gone in our favour - I'm not debating that and maybe someone will point them out to me.
"But the fact of the matter is, if you ask me if recent decisions have gone against us, I'd say they have."
Everton striker Victor Anichebe remains an injury doubt for tonight's game.
Anichebe had to come off at half-time in the Boundary Park clash having picked up a knock, and was not involved against Norwich.
Moyes said "a couple of injuries" were sustained by his players in the Canaries match that will need to be assessed, while defender Tony Hibbert is still recovering from calf surgery.
The winners of this evening's contest will face Wigan at home in the quarter-finals.

In fact, statistics show that the violent crime rate there is double that of the United States.
It seems Canada is looking for a scapegoat, too: Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin is blaming the United States for his countrys violent crime wave. He says his southern neighbor is eagerly bringing guns over the border.
According to the Second Amendment Foundations Alan Gottlieb, writing in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Martin is wrong for blaming Canadas rise in violent crime on criminals smuggling guns from the United States.
Gottlieb says the blame instead belongs on Canadian crooks getting guns from wherever they can.
"Blaming the United States for Canadian crime is an argument that does not pass the smell test, Gottlieb wrote. "Canada's experience has simply demonstrated that no matter what kind of gun control law a government passes, that law is doomed to failure because instead of keeping guns out of the wrong hands, the law disarms the wrong people. Canada's gun control scheme has not just failed - it has failed disastrously. Clear evidence of that can be found in a comparison of the crime rates for Canada and America.
Gottlieb cites an article by Canada's National Post columnist David Frum where he revealed that "Canada's overall crime rate is now 50 percent higher than the crime rate in the United States. Moreover, "Since the early 1990s, crime rates have dropped in 48 of the 50 states and 80 percent of American cities. Over that same period, crime rates have risen in six of the 10 Canadian provinces and in seven of Canadas 10 biggest cities.
He also cites the most recent complete data available from both countries that shows that in 2003, the violent crime rate in the United States was 475 per 100,000 people; while up north, there were 963 violent crimes per 100,000 people. The figure for sexual assault in Canada per 100,000 people was more than double that of the United States: 74 as opposed to 32.1; and the assault rate in Canada was also more than twice that of the states: 746 to America's 295 for the people.
Moreover, he cites research that showed the figure for sexual assault in Canada per 100,000 people was more than double that of the United States: 74 as opposed to 32.1; and the assault rate in Canada was more than twice that of the United States: 746 to Americas 295. Also, in 2005, Toronto had 78 murders; thats a 28 percent increase in homicides since 1995.
"The situation hasn't improved for Canada; it has here, he wrote.
"Moreover, this shift in crime rates between the two countries has occurred while dozens of U.S. states have adopted right-to-carry and shall-issue handgun laws. During the same period, Canadas gun laws have gotten more restrictive, with the national gun registry being implemented, he added.
"Since declaring war on guns under former Prime Minister Jean Chretien, Canada's Liberals have presided over the sharpest rise in violent crime in the nations history.
Gottlieb wrote that "Frum put it best when he claimed, Gun registration and gun bans ... do not work, adding later: It is not guns from across the border that threaten Canadians. It is the weak and cynical policies of home-grown politicians, and especially the Chretien/Martin Liberals.
Martin and the Liberals are not the solution to violent crime in Canada, Gottlieb wrote. "They're the problem.
Gottlieb concluded that "the disparity in crime rates says it all about how well gun registration works to stop crime, as opposed to actually carrying guns to deter criminals, and fighting back if necessary.

POLICE: Mother Drives Away Drunk And Leaves Kids at Liquor Store
SPRINGFIELD -- A Springfield mom gets so drunk she leaves her children behind a liquor store. With three of her kids in the backseat of her, car police believe Kristina Springer, 39, drove to the Ooh Ooh Drive-thru intoxicated and looking for more alcohol.
"I told her she couldn't buy it because she was too intoxicated," said employee Aaron Smith. "On her way into my establishments she tried to hit my building three times."
"They were staring at me the whole time it was a gut instinct to stop her," said Kelly Miller who was behind Springer in the drive thru and saw the children.
The good samaritans were not only able to stop her car, but to pull the kids out to safety, and Springer did not resist.
"She said sorry and sped away," said Miller. "They were more than willing to come with us and the poor children told me all kinds of things. They said they were extremely scared. They just kept saying their mother was high they were cold so I turned on my heat and waited for the police."
"It's not just her that does it," said Smith. "There are numerous people who come through our establishment drunk with kids in the back. I mean there's nothing really we can do about it besides call the cops."
But what makes Springer's story so much worse, she's several months pregnant.
"I was bawling. I was crying because my heart just goes out to those poor kids," said Miller. "I was hysterical."
Police caught up with Springer at her home and arrested her in front of her other two children. In 2012 springer was convicted of endangering children, and now she faces another 5 counts of endangering children, all felonies.
"I'm just glad I was the one that they came to instead of somebody else," said Miller. "You never know what could've happened."
Right now Springer's five kids are with their grandmother. We were able to speak with her off-camera she tells us that her daughter Kristina doesn't need to go to jail but that she needs help for her alcohol addiction
SPRINGFIELD -- A 39-year-old mother of five is accused of driving drunk with three kids in the car, then leaving the kids behind at the drive-through.
A woman told police she saw a Chevrolet Blazer being driven erratically about 7:49 p.m. Tuesday as it approached Ooh Ooh Drive Thru on Selma Road.
The witness told police she got out of her vehicle to check on the driver, later identified as Kristina Springer of 808 Linden Avenue, Springfield. The woman said Springer appeared intoxicated and there were three children in the back seat of the Blazer. She told Springer she was calling police.
According to the report, Springer told her not to because she couldn't get into trouble.
The woman told police she thought Springer was going to drive off before police arrived so she made the decision to get the kids out of the Blazer.
Springer reportedly then drove off, saying "Sorry," and leaving the children behind. Those children, ages 7, 6 and 4, weren't wearing coats when it was 41 degrees outside.
Another witness reportedly followed the Blazer to 808 Linden Ave., where they found Springer lying on a couch with a bloody nose. Two other children of hers, ages 10 and 13, were in the home. One answered the door for police.
When asked where her other children were, Springer told police they were "with someone else" but didn't respond when asked what happened at the drive through.
She told police at one point she had drunk "one screwdriver." At another point, she said she "only" had "two screwdrivers and two vicodin." Police say she quickly recanted that statement and said she had "two screwdrivers and two klonopin." Klonopin is a sedative often prescribed for seizures.
Police drove the children to the police department, where their grandfather took temporary custody of them.
A woman approached police as Springer was being placed in the cruiser and suggested that they be careful with Springer because she was pregnant.
Springer was transported to the Clark County Jail and has been charged with five counts of endangering children, which are felonies because of a previous endangering children conviction on October 19, 2012.
