Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen Local Union No. 3 v. Union Stone, Inc. et al
Filing 9
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER denying 3 Motion to Dismiss Count II of the Complaint for Lack of Jurisdiction. So Ordered by Chief Judge Mary M. Lisi on 5/14/2013. (Duhamel, John)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND BRICKLAYERS AND ALLIED CRAFTSMEN LOCAL UNION NO. 3, Plaintiff, v. C.A. No. 13-138-ML UNION STONE, INC. and NUZZO CAMPION STONE ENTERPRISES, INC. Defendants. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER The Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen Local Union No. 3 ("Local 3") seeks to enforce a labor arbitration award against Union Stone, Inc. ("Union Stone") pursuant to § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act ("LMRA"), 29 U.S.C. § 185. Local 3 has brought this complaint (the "Complaint") against Union Stone as well as Nuzzo Campion Stone Enterprises, Inc. ("Nuzzo") on the ground that Nuzzo is Union Stone's alter ego or that the two entities comprise one single employer. The matter before the Court is Nuzzo's motion to dismiss the Complaint for lack of proper service and lack of subject matter jurisdiction. I. Factual Background and Procedural History Local 3 is a labor union 1 and the authorized collective bargaining representative for marble masons, tile layers, terrazzo mechanics, and Massachusetts. similar professionals in Rhode Island and Union Stone and Nuzzo are Rhode Island based employers in that field. Union Stone and Local 3 are parties to a collective bargaining agreement ("CBA") that provides for arbitration of disputes arising under the CBA. Local 3 submitted several charges against Union Stone in arbitration. On September 26, 2012, the Arbitration Board conducted a hearing on Local 3's charges. Although it had been given proper notice, Union Stone did not appear. On October 4, 2012, the Arbitration Board issued an arbitration award (the "Award") against Union Stone and awarded to Local 3 the sum of $156,867, which was due for payment no later than thirty days from issuance of the Award. According to the Complaint, Union Stone did not make payment of the Award, nor did it file an action to vacate the Award. On March 1, 2013, Local 3 commenced an action against Union Stone and Nuzzo in this Court, seeking payment of the Award from Union Stone, together with pre-judgment interest, costs, and attorney's fees. With respect to Nuzzo, Local 3 asserts that Nuzzo is an alter ego of and/or single employer with Union Stone and it seeks enforcement of the Award against Nuzzo as well. According to the affidavit of service submitted by Local 3, 2 Nuzzo was served on March 7, 2013 by certified mail.1 On March 26, 2013, Nuzzo filed a motion to dismiss Count II of the Complaint on the grounds that (1) Nuzzo was not properly served with the Summons and Complaint, and (2) the claim against Nuzzo is a state claim in equity that fails to invoke this Court's jurisdiction. Subsequent to the filing of Nuzzo's motion, the summons as to Nuzzo was reissued on April 1, 2013. Between April 8 and April 11, 2013, Local 3 unsuccessfully attempted to effect personal service on Nuzzo on five separate occasions. On April 12, 2013, Local 3 submitted an objection to Nuzzo's motion, asserting that (1) service by certified mail was sufficient where Nuzzo (a) conceded it had actual notice of the claim against it, and (b) Nuzzo repeatedly sought to evade personal service. Local 3 also pointed out that the Arbitration Board concluded that Nuzzo is an alter ego of Union Stone and that the Board assessed damages against both entities. Further, it asserted that alter ego claims are subject to federal jurisdiction. On April 16, 2013, Local 3 submitted an "Affidavit in Support of Plaintiff's Motion for Alternate Service,"2 which details the Rhode Island State Sheriff's efforts to serve the summons and 1 There is no indication that Union Stone has been served as of the date of this Memorandum and Order. A summons for Union Stone was reissued on April 16, 2013. 2 No motion for alternate service was filed with respect to Nuzzo. 3 complaint on an employee at Nuzzo's office in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The Affidavit sets forth that the process server made several visits to Nuzzo's office and encountered an individual at that location who refused to give her name and repeatedly refused to accept service. (Docket # 5). In Nuzzo's April 22, 2013 response to Local 3's objection to the motion to dismiss the Complaint, Nuzzo maintains that Local 3 has not completed proper service upon Nuzzo. Nuzzo asserts that Local 3 refused to provide a proper waiver and the papers to be filed to Nuzzo's counsel so he could accept service. Nuzzo also states that Count II seeks to hold Nuzzo liable for an arbitration award pursuant to an agreement that was not signed by Nuzzo. II. Standard of Review When considering a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Rule 12(b)(1), the court applies the same standard of review which is applicable to motions under Rule 12(b)(6). Negron–Gaztambide v. Hernandez–Torres, 35 F.3d 25, 27 (1st Cir.1994). In order to withstand a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim under Rule 12(b)(6), "the 'complaint must contain sufficient factual matter ... to 'state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'" Katz v. Pershing, LLC, 672 F.3d 64, 72-73 (1st Cir. 2012)(quoting Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (quoting Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 4 929 (2007)). The Court takes "the complaint's well-pled (i.e., nonconclusory, non-speculative) facts as true, drawing all reasonable inferences in the pleader's favor and see if they plausibly narrate a claim for relief." Schatz v. Republican State Leadership Comm., 669 F.3d 50, 55 (1st Cir.2012)(internal citations omitted). The party asserting jurisdiction bears the burden of demonstrating the existence of federal subject matter jurisdiction. Skwira v. U.S., 344 F.3d 64, 71 (1st Cir.2003). III. Discussion A. Service of Process The requirements for proper service on a domestic corporation are set forth in Rule 4(h)of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Pursuant to Rule 4(h), unless a waiver has been filed, the corporation must be served "(1) in a judicial district of the United States: (A) in the manner prescribed by Rule 4(e)(1) for serving an individual; or (B) by delivering a copy of the summons and of the complaint to an officer, a managing or general agent, or any other agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process and--if the agent is one authorized by statute and the statute so requires--by also mailing a copy of each to the defendant." Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(h)(1). Rule 4(e)(1) provides that service can be effected "following state law for serving a summons in an action brought in courts of general jurisdiction in the state where the district court is located or where service is made." Fed. 5 R. Civ. P. 4(e)(1). Rule 4 of the Rhode Island Rules of Civil Procedure requires that service upon a private corporation, from which a waiver of service has not been obtained and filed, is to be made "by delivering a copy of the summons and complaint to an officer, a managing or general agent, or by leaving a copy of the summons and complaint at an office of the corporation with a person employed therein, or by delivering a copy of the summons and complaint to an agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process, provided that if the agent is one designated by statute to receive service, such further notice as the statute requires shall be given." R.I. Super. Ct. R. Civ. P. Rule 4 (e). It is apparent that Local 3's initial service to Nuzzo by certified mail was improper. Nuzzo is a domestic Rhode Island corporation which, in the absence of a waiver of service, had to be served personally. Nevertheless, it is also apparent that Nuzzo did receive the summons and complaint and that it responded thereto, addressing not only the question of proper service, but also this Court's jurisdiction over Local 3's claim against Nuzzo. Moreover, Local 3 subsequently attempted to effect personal service on Nuzzo and its chronicled efforts indicate that Nuzzo was deliberately trying to evade personal service. It is true that actual notice, by itself, is insufficient to establish compliance with the requirement of personal service. Precision Etchings & Findings, Inc. v. LGP Gem, Ltd., 953 F.2d 21, 24 (1st Cir. 1992)(noting that "[w]hen the defendant has received 6 actual notice of the action ... service of process requirements are to be "'broadly interpreted.'")(citation omitted). However, under the circumstances of this case, where the defendant has been apprised of the commencement and the subject of litigation, where a response has been made to the complaint with respect to issues beyond that of the adequacy of service, and where the defendant's repeated attempts at evading personal service are well-documented, the plaintiff's prior insufficient service on the defendant cannot serve, by itself, to provide a basis for dismissal of a complaint. See e.g., 1993)(citing Benjamin v. Grosnick, 999 F.2d 590, 592 (1st Cir. United States v. Ayer, 857 F.2d 881 (1st Cir. 1988)(dismissal of lawsuit for defective service of process was not required where, inter alia, defective service did not prejudice defendant who had actual notice of service); Moreno-Perez v. Toledo-Davila, 266 F.R.D. 46, 49-50, Civil 07-1863 (JA) (D.P.R. Mar. 11, 2010)(in determining "good cause" for failure to complete timely service, courts consider whether "the defendant has evaded service of the process or engaged in misleading conduct" and/or "the plaintiff has acted diligently to effect service.") See also Gambone v. Light-Rock Drywall Corp., 124 Fed. Appx. 78, 80 (3d Cir. 2005)("The two essential factors that justify relaxed personal service are i) the defendant's active evasion of service and ii) clear evidence that the defendant actually received the papers at issue when allegedly served.") 7 B. Subject Matter Jurisdiction Local 3 asserts federal question jurisdiction under Section 301 of the LMRA, 29 U.S.C. § 185. Section 301 provides federal district courts with jurisdiction to hear "[s]uits for violation of contracts between an employer and a labor organization representing employees in an industry affecting commerce...." 29 U.S.C. § 185(a). Generally, a federal district court has subject matter jurisdiction over the enforcement of arbitration awards. Local 2322, Int'l. Bhd. of Elec. Workers v. Verizon New England, Inc., 464 F.3d 93, 96 (1st Cir. 2006)("Where a collective bargaining agreement includes an arbitration clause, the arbitration award is treated as a contractual obligation that can be enforced through a section 301 suit.") In the Complaint, Local 3 alleges that Union Stone - which is a signatory to the CBA3 with Local 3 - has refused to comply with the Abitration Board's Award. Local 3 further asserts that Nuzzo is an alter ego of and/or single employer with Union Stone and that, "as such, [Nuzzo] is liable for the Arbitration Award issued against [Union Stone.]" Complaint ¶ 16. In other words, Local 3 seeks enforcement of the award against Union Stone as a signatory to the CBA and against Nuzzo as alter ego of, or single employer with, Union Stone. 3 The Complaint does not indicate that Nuzzo, itself, is a signatory to the CBA. 8 "A finding that two employers are alter egos will bind the nonsignatory to a collective bargaining agreement between the union and the nonsignatory's alter ego." Massachusetts Carpenters Cent. Collection Agency v. Belmont Concrete Corp., 139 F.3d 304, 307 (1st Cir. 1998)(citing Nat'l Labor Relations Bd. v. Hosp. San Rafael, 42 F.3d 45, 52-53 (1st Cir. 1994); Penntech Papers, Inc. v. NLRB, 706 F.2d 18, 24 (1st Cir.1983)). Typically, an alter ego analysis is "applied where an employer attempts to avoid its obligations under a collective bargaining agreement and is particularly common in the context of successor employers, where the successor is "'merely a disguised continuance of the old employer,'" C.E.K. Indus. Mech. Contractors, Inc. v. N.L.R.B., 921 F.2d 350, 353 (1st Cir. 1990)(quoting Southport Petroleum Co. v. N.L.R.B., 315 U.S. 100, 106, 62 S.Ct. 452, 456, 86 L.Ed. 718 (1942)). Similarly, the "single employer doctrine" may be applicable "in cases where 'liability is sought to be imposed on the legal employer by arguing that another entity is sufficiently related such that its actions ... can be attributable to the legal employer.'" Torres-Negron v. Merck & Co., Inc., 488 F.3d 34, 40-41 (1st Cir. 2007) (quoting Engelhardt v. S.P. Richards Co., 472 F.3d 1, 4 n. 2 (1st Cir.2006)). However, "[a] finding of single employer status does not mean that one business is bound by a union contract signed by another, absent an additional finding that the employees of each constitute a single appropriate bargaining unit." C.E.K. 9 Indus. Mech. Contractors, Inc. v. N.L.R.B., 921 F.2d at 353-354 (citing South Prairie Constr. Co. v. Local 627, Int'l Union of Operating Eng'rs, 425 U.S. 800, 96 S.Ct. 1842, 48 L.Ed.2d 382 (1976)). A determination by this Court that Nuzzo is an alter ego of Union Stone would bind Nuzzo to the CBA as if it were a signatory thereto and make Nuzzo subject to enforcement proceedings under the Arbitration Award. Local Union No. 38, Sheet Metal Workers' Int'l Assoc., AFL-CIO v. Custom Air Sys., Inc., 357 F.3d 266, 268 (1st Cir. 2004)("A district court's independent determination of alter ego signifies that, for all relevant purposes, the non-signatory is legally equivalent to the signatory and is itself a party to the CBA.") If, as Local 3 alleges in the Complaint, Nuzzo is an alter ego of, or single employer with, Union Stone, a determination of that assertion and of the extent of Nuzzo's obligations under the CBA, particularly with respect to the Arbitration Award, is properly subject to this Court's jurisdiction. Therefore, Nuzzo's motion to dismiss the Complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction must be denied. Conclusion For the reasons stated herein, Nuzzo's motion to dismiss the 10 Complaint is DENIED. SO ORDERED. /s/ Mary M. Lisi Mary M. Lisi Chief United States District Judge May 14, 2013 11

05.01.07 - By Paul McCreath: Moving up to heavyweight is really nothing new. As far back as 1897, the then world middleweight boxing champion, Bob Fitzsimmons jumped all the way up to heavy to take that title from James J. Corbett by 14th round KO. It should be noted that there was no lightheavy class at that time. Fitzsimmons would later drop back down to that division in 1903 and win that title as well.
It would be 1986 before we would see another successful challenge at heavyweight from a smaller champion. In the intervening years, several would try but we will skip those years for this article since few of us would have any memories of those times anyway. For today, we will examine more recent years. At present, we have two popular cruiserweights, David Haye and O'Neil Bell who are talking about a possible move up. How will they do? If you look at the most recent eight prominent fighters who have grown into the heavyweight division you might expect they will do just fine.
Of the 8 mentioned above, only Chris Byrd was not a champion earlier in a smaller division. Chris, of course, had only two fights at super middleweight and one at 193 pounds before becoming a heavy. Among the 8, there have been three, including Chris who have been highly successful with their move. The other two are Evander Holyfield, the most successful of all and Roy Jones Jr. Roy fought only once at heavy but won the WBA belt from John Ruiz and earned a ton of money. Both Holyfield and Byrd had extended reigns at the top and won world belts more than once.
There have been three others who were fairly fortunate as heavyweights. Michael Spinks took the IBF belt from Larry Holmes in 1985 but made only two defenses before being destroyed by Mike Tyson in 1988 by first round KO. Michael Moorer won two different belts as a heavy but was never as dominant as he had been as WBO lightheavy champ where he scored nine consecutive KO's in title bouts. He probably liked the money better with the big boys, I would think. James Toney managed to defeat John Ruiz for the WBA belt but lost it again hours later due to the steroid testing which changed the result to a no decision. He later drew with Hasim Rahman in a WBC title match and he remains a top contender to this day. All in all, these three have done rather well, too.
Two fine champions at lighter weights have not fared so well. Juan Carlos Gomez made 10 defenses of his WBC cruiser title but in four years at heavy he has accomplished very little. Al Cole had 5 good wins in IBF cruiser title bouts but became little more than a trial horse at heavy. Six success stories out of 8 is pretty good but I began to wonder what makes the difference between great careers and flops.
I found upon doing a bit of research that weight and how it is gained has a lot to do with expected achievements. Of the top three, Byrd won his first title at 210 pounds, Holyfield was 208, and Jones was only 193. Obviously it is better to remain a small heavyweight. All three worked hard to gain the pounds and remained well toned although Byrd was a bit chunkier. Spinks fit this category as well.He was only 199 3/4 when he took the title from Holmes.
Of the others, Moorer gained about 50 pounds, not all solid and fought around 225 or so. Toney as we all know gained even more. Cole moved up to the 225-235 range for most of his fights and Gomez the mid 220's.It seems that more weight is not better if you move up since the ones that fought the heaviest had the least success.
I though that height would play a big factor but it doesn't. Cole and Gomez were the tallest at 6'4" and 6'3 1/2." Two of the shortest, Byrd and Toney at 6'0" and 5'10," were much better heavyweights. Holyfield fell in about the middle for size at 6' 2 1/2."
Durability was important, too. While Moorer, Spinks and Gomez had no chin problems at the lighter weights, they were a bit brittle at heavyweight. The best heavies could certainly take a good punch. Fighting style was important, too. Only Cole was not strong defensively. Punching power as Byrd proved is not essential.
All in all, the odds are pretty good for a fighter moving up to heavyweight. The money is better and most succeed to some degree, but there are many variables that mean a lot. There are no guarantees.

U.K. wheat exports in February tumbled to 17,800 metric tons, the lowest monthly total on record, the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board said.
Imports of wheat were 256,000 tons during the month, bringing total purchases this marketing year to 1.86 million tons, more than triple the amount at the same time last year, AHDB's grain unit the Home-Grown Cereals Authority said in an online statement today, citing customs data. Millers, starch producers and ethanol makers used more than 520,000 tons of imported wheat in February, the most on records dating to the 1991-92 season, AHDB said.
The U.K. may be a net-importer of wheat this season for the first time in 11 years, Kenilworth, England-based AHDB has said, after the second-wettest year on record in 2012 slashed the domestic harvest. Exports since the marketing year began July 1 plunged to 547,961 tons, compared with shipments of almost 2.1 million tons at the same time last year, according to today's report.
Germany was the biggest supplier of wheat to the U.K. in February, with shipments totaling 102,270 tons, followed by France and Denmark, AHDB said.
U.K. barley exports in February totaled 22,576 tons, against imports of 23,560 tons, AHDB said. Exports of rapeseed during the month were 41,807 tons, up 45 percent from a month earlier. Purchases of the oilseed totaled 825 tons.

In a very odd move, less than a month after the launch of the iPad 3G, AT&T are changing the iPad data plans and getting rid of the unlimited data plan. As mentioned in a previous article, AT&T are modifying their data plans and going forward will only support a 200MB for $15/mo and 2GB for $25/mo plans.
Since iPad users are not under contract, AT&T has the right to change the plans as often as they like. But if you are currently subscribed to one of the old plans, you can keep using that plan. Going forward though, instead of the 250MB and unlimited data plans, customers will have the option to purchase 2GB of data for $25/month. And instead of $15 for 250MB, iPad users will only get 200MB for $15/month.
I'm found it hard use up the 250MB plan in the first month of use. I only used around 150MB on my iPad 3G, so I don't think I'll switch to the unlimited plan. But I'm happy to keep getting and extra 50 MB for my $15 per month.Posted in: Blog

The new Cirque du Soleil show, "Amaluna," which is Cirque's first show celebrating women, has just opened at Citi Field. NY1's Stephanie Simon filed the following report.
Cirque du Soleil's newest show, "Amaluna," celebrates women with top female circus performers as the main stars. Plus, it has a top female theater director at its helm, and Tony Award winner Diane Paulus is definitely bringing some new tricks to the big top.
"What I can bring to it as a theater director was, what about the emotion? What about the acting?" Paulus says. "And the great discovery was, these circus artists that are in the show were dying to be actors. They were dying to play characters and to be challenged."
This isn't completely new ground for the theater vet. Paulus brought the circus to the theater with her 2013 Tony Award-winning revival of "Pippin." Now, she's bringing theater to the circus without the constraints of a Broadway house.
Paulus: As a director, when you're thinking, 'How do I want someone to exit?' I have an option of 62 feet up in the air. That's pretty fun.Simon: Stage left all of a sudden seems kind of boring.Paulus: How about above?
While many of us once dreamed of running off with the circus, Paulus always wanted to direct one.
"It's that glorious architecture of a circular stage and everyone surrounding under one tent, and you just feel a part of a community," she says. "And I just think that's one of the most important aspects of theater."
All that spectacle on stage is just part of the production.
"Literally, we travel with our own village. We have 65 trucks of equipment. It will take us seven-and-a-half days to set it up and two-and-a-half days to tear it down, and more than 200 workers a day to make it all happen," says Jamie Reilly, company manager for "Amaluna."
The tent goes us up mostly by hand.
"We haven't reinvented that part of it because it's part of the roots and the circus traditions that we have kept to stay true to who we are as a circus," Reilly says.
The circus is in town through May 18. For more information, visit www.cirquedusoleil.com/amaluna.

Hello friends,
Yes, I'm a newbie to this forum and to home brewing as well. I'm posting this to see if what I have done so far is correct. The following recipe was given to me by a local farmer. So here it goes...
I am making 18 gallons of apple wine (three 6 gallon carboys). Everything was sterilized ahead of time. In each carboy I added 5 gallons of untreated cider (3 gallons went into the freezer to be added at later point), 5 pounds of sugar (I added an extra pound and a half of brown sugar to one just for the hell of it), 1 champagne yeast packet, 2 teaspoons of pectic enzyme, 5 campden tablets, 7 1/2 teaspoons of acid blend.
The carboys were placed in a dark corner of the basement at 68/70 degrees with airlocks. The must has been fermenting for 16 days. I stir each one once a day. They seem to be fermenting nicely (every 5 to 6 seconds still). My plan is to make half into wine and the other into hard cider. I may also turn some of it into applejack by freeze distilling.
Does this sound like I'm on the right track?
How do I know it's time to rack?
How many times should I rack?
Do I add one gallon of cider to the must after first rack? second rack? right before bottling?
Is a hydrometer necessary?
When I plan to make it into hard cider is it really as simple as I was informed? One teaspoon of sugar in a 12 once bottle with 11 onces of apple wine once fermenting is complete?
How long does it take to turn into hard cider?
Has anyone used oak chips to age instead of barrells (I can't afford a barrell at this time)?
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to doing this?
Does anyone know of a good beginer website devoted to making apple wine/hard cider?
I apologize for the long post but I just don't have much time to do any real research between work and the kids.
Here's a much easier way to do what you're tryinghttp://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=14860
IDK if freeze distilling is worth it...http://homedistiller.org/wiki/index....e_distillation
Don't think he is distilling anything... He just put some in the freezer, most likely to back sweeten with later on I assume.
Another good reason for not distilling it is because it is very illegal in this country. It is also strongly discouraged from being discussed on this forum.
The other main problem with freeze distillation is the fusel alcohols that are left in the applejack. While it was THE method used during the colonial period, modern distillers use pot stills.
This being said... I... have a... friend... that once made some applejack the traditional way, and he didn't get any bad hangovers from it.
BTW, welcome to HBT, I know I pointed you over here from winemakingtalk.com... I'm always happy to see another Mainer!

GMO Labeling Bill Passes Vermont Senate
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In what could be a big win for opponents of genetically modified organisms, Vermont is one step closer to signing into law legislation that would require food companies to label products that contain GMOs in the Green Mountain State.
On Wednesday, the Vermont State Senate passed "An Act Relating to the Labeling of Food Produced with Genetic Engineering," H. 112, by a vote of 28-2. The state legislation, introduced in January 2013, proposes to provide that "food is misbranded if it is entirely or partially produced with genetic engineering and it is not labeled as genetically engineered." Sen. David Zuckerman is the bill's lead sponsor, according to the Brattleboro Reformer.
The bill will now go back to the House to approve the Senate's amendments and then to Gov. Peter Shumlin to sign into law. The act is supposed to become effective on July 1, 2016, according to Reuters.
Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals that cannot occur in natural crossbreeding, according to the Non-GMO Project, a non-profit organization dedication to the education of GMOs and helping consumers find alternatives and considered the main organization used by many companies to verify their non-GMO foods.According to Right to Know GMO - A Coalition of States, more than two dozen states have legislation introduced related to GMO labeling efforts. Only two so far have passed bills into law -- Maine and Connecticut -- but both laws require other states to sign on before enactment. According to the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), Vermont's bill also makes it illegal to call any food product containing GMOs "natural" or "all natural." Vermont's legislation contains no "trigger" clauses like Maine and Connecticut, said the association, because it doesn't require other states to pass GMO labeling laws before it can be enacted. "Today, consumers and a number of principled legislators in Vermont made it clear to Monsanto (MON), Coca-Cola (KO) and other opponents of consumers' right to know: We will not back down. This movement is here to stay," Ronnie Cummins, national director of the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), said in a statement. That said, the bill doesn't come without controversy. Included in the legislation is the requirement to establish a $1.5 million legal fund for state attorney general expenses related to potential litigation, according to the Brattleboro Reformer. The OCA expects Monsanto to sue to Vermont in order to prevent enactment of H.112.

Bulls Like Fortress Ahead of Key Earnings
By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- The bulls are piling into Fortress Investment (FIG) as two big events loom on its calendar.
OptionMonster's tracking systems detected the purchase of more than 2,000 March 6 calls, most of which priced for $2.25. Volume was more than 100 times open interest at the strike, indicating that new positions were initiated.
Calls lock in the price where shares can be purchased in the investment company. Investors use the contracts to position for upside cheaply, to limit capital at risk, and to generate leverage.Fortress rose 0.25% to $7.99% Tuesday and has more than doubled in the last year. It's been tracking the performance of Nationstar Mortgage (NSM), its largest investment, which also saw bullish call buying Tuesday. Both companies will report earnings in the next week: Fortress on Thursday, and Nationstar next Tuesday. Total option volume was eight times greater than average in the name Tuesday, with calls outnumbering puts by a bullish 5-to-1 ratio. Russell has no positions in FIG.

Patriot Desk Clock Scroll Saw Pattern.
On July 4th we celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The actual resolution of independence occurred on July 2nd. The statesman and second President of the United States John Adams wrote a letter to his wife Abigail that was prophetic.
"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more."
President Adams might have had the date we celebrate wrong but his predictions of our pomp and parade are true to this day. July 4th is a day when Americans take to the streets and fields with parades and fireworks to celebrate our countries independence. It's a day of flags, picnics and pride.
This pattern is a bit over the top but so is my patriotism and pride for America. I'm proud of it's people that struggled through two world wars. I'm proud of it's people that endured a great depression. I'm proud of it's people that fought injustice and understand that all men are created equal. I'm proud of a government that struggles every day with decisions that drive us nuts but somehow has managed to keep us free, safe and united.
In a world where patriotism is sometimes looked at with suspicious eyes I say stand up and celebrate what our country does well. Stand up and criticize when our country fails. The freedom to do both is the currency that will buy us respect and trust in a world with too little of both.

Vermont Vents at Billion-Dollar Telecom Mergers Charging Deals Will Ruin the Internet
NEWYORK (TheStreet) - As federal regulators scrutinize a $45.2 billion merger between Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) as well as a $48.5 billion dollar deal combining DirecTV (DTV) with AT&T (T), small businesses are telling politicians that both transactions are likely to be a drag on start-up companies and local communities.
At a "field" hearing earlier this week in Burlington, Vermont, Senator Patrick Leahy and Rep. Peter Welch, both from the Green Mountain state, gave local resident who may not easily make the trip to Washington a chance to weigh-in on the thorny topic 'net neutrality.'
For the uninitiated, net neutrality argues that the owner of a broadband pipe, Comcast for instance, can't discriminate among its users, i.e. favoring a deep-pocketed user such as 21st Century Fox (FOXA), which might able to pay more for a 'high-speed land' than Mom or Pop Start-up. The hearing, entitled, "Preserving an Open Internet: Rules to Promote Competition and Protect Main Street Consumers," focused on how best to address equal access to the Internet for both large corporations and small businesses.
When Netflix signed a direct access deal with Comcast to make sure it's mounds of video efficiently move to their end users, critics argued that the agreement looked and smelled like a violation of net neutrality though both sides denied. The FCC as well said the deal was perfectly lega.
The Vermont hearing comes weeks after Leahy and Rep. Doris Matsui (D-CA) introduced The Online Competition and Consumer Choice Act of 2014, a bill that commands the Federal Communications Commission to ban preferential treatment and paid prioritization deals between broadband and content providers. If the FCC were to authorize paid prioritization deals, the internet could morph into a two-tier system that would prevent consumers from accessing content equally.
With this legislation in place, the Internet may have a better chance of remaining a reasonably level playing field in which small businesses, entrepreneurs and aspiring innovators would have the opportunity to share their content with the rest of the world. And not surprisingly, opportunity and openness not to mention freedom and democracy were just a few of the patriotically-charged words uttered at the Vermont gathering.In an opening statement, Leahy described the Internet as a reflection of the founding principles of the United States. The Internet, he said, is founded on "the principles of openness and competition and is the ultimate marketplace of ideas where everybody has a voice and where products and services will either succeed or fail based on their merits."
In one of the only remaining realms where true democracy exists, the authorization of paid prioritization or the approval of multi-billion dollar acquisitions, could destroy the openness of the internet and turn it into a world where hegemonic monopolies reign supreme, Leahy argued.
Chief among those to appear was former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps.
With more and more people understanding "that the Internet is the most opportunity creating tool of our time, just who will have access to that opportunity," Copps asked rhetorically. "Is the net going to be the tool of the many that helps us all live better, or will it become the playground of the privileged few that only widens the many divides that are creating stratified and unequal Americans. Are we heading towards fast lanes for the 1% and slow lanes for the 99%?" he continued. Rep Welch made the case for rural regions. "If fast and slow lanes were to materialize, rural states in particular would be put at risk suggests," he said. "When representing rural states, there is an enormous economic absolute agency to us having an open internet...We're not going to have an economy in Vermont if we don't have accessible internet." "We have entrepreneurs here, and a couple in the audience who have shown what can be done in a small state far removed from markets if they have access to the quality tools that are necessary to put their creative energies to work," declared Welch. Others took up the call. Without the open internet, regional based businesses such as the Vermont Country Store wouldn't have the opportunity to "display merchandise to customers, connect with new audiences, and transact a large portion of our sales" commented Cabot Orton, proprietor of the American retail and e-commerce business. The message from this corner of Vermont was clear: If the Department of Justice and the FCC were to authorize these multi-billion dollar deals alongside the FCC's authorization of paid prioritization, the online world of opportunity may never be the same.

Love this shoe!
This shoe is great for anyone who likes a wide toe box like those who struggle with bunions. This is my 5th pair over the years. Even though I've tried other tennis shoes, I keep coming back to this particular one.

I am very pleased with the price and quality of this hood. I am using mine in a outdoor cover patio area to grill and its working great.
After having a bad experience with another vent hood I was very leery of having an over sized product delivered and having to deal with problems. This time my experience was 100% positive. Delivery was fast and easy to track. The product looked even better when installed than the picture. I got it so I could use my indoor grill top without smoking up the house and this does a great job. Even on the highest fan setting the noise is better than tolerable. I recommend this product without reservation.
Looked at stores and lots of websites and found Overstocks site. Within 5 minutes I had the piece I needed for a great price and quick too.
The quality of construction and the stainless steel is impressive. The design is just what we were after. I am glad I had our contractor install it as the 42' version is big and heavy and the instructions are general so it needed someone who's familiar with installing mechanical pieces. There was some trouble getting the flue cover to fit perfectly, but it was great that it telescoped to fit our 9' ceilings.
wonderful addition to my kitchen. i had minamule space between cabinets and counter so i wanted low profile hood with power and quietness. exactly what i got. love, love, love this hood. looks great, has powerful sucking of cooking fumes below, lights are very helpful for chores, solid construction and quality materials. has everything.

Sources have told me that The Young and the Restless, has hired on Hayley Erin to play the role of Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) and Brad Carlton's (Don Diamont) little girl. The last time the youngster was seen was back in June when she came for her biological father Victor's (Eric Braeden) wedding to the late Sabrina Costelana (Raya Meddine), and was being played by Darcy Rose Byrnes (Kiki; Dirty Sexy Money). No word when she will head to town. Keep checking Daytime Confidential for the news of Erin's first official air date. 19 Responses Scout December 13, 2008 She's a cutie. Glad the show had the presence of mind to SORAS Abby since they did it with Noah. Question: on Days, weren't Shawn and Belle born five years apart but still were the same age by the time they were in high school? Log in to Reply THEBEST December 13, 2008 That's abut right, Scout… Shawn-D was born in '87, then Belle came along in '93. They were both SORASSED in '99 to be the same age… This news about Abby seems cool. I just hope the child can act somewhat. They can officially drop that Carlton from her name, especially since the pool boy will be biting it soon… ***///My life as a soap fan is on life support, waiting for a miracle…\\\*** Log in to Reply Scout December 13, 2008 Although SORASing the character is appropriate, I will miss Darcy Rose as Abby. I loved how she overheard Jack and Ji-Min talking about how Jack secretly owned Jabot, then she quite inadvertently spilled the beans to Victor, re-enacting the conversation for him. Brad was always good with her in scenes, too. I see her in a lot of commercials and, I believe, that she was voted as the Screen Actors' Guild child actor of the year in 2007. Log in to Reply timepass December 13, 2008 She looks good and seems to have at least a little bit of experience at acting, I am fed up with actor wannabee getting their experience at my expense! But i will miss Darcy Rose as Abby, she is a great actress and I am sure she will have a great career! I will wait and see! Log in to Reply mr.brooks December 13, 2008 mrbrooksgenoacitynews… I am glad they are using a fourteeen year old for the role of Abby. I noticed the new Eden must be almost 25! I swear I saw grey hairs on Edens head yesterday! Log in to Reply Jamey Giddens December 13, 2008 Oh Days and that SORASing was awfl. Abby Deveraux was born YEARS before Belle or Philip and she is now younger. Also Shawn Douglas was born before Brady! LOL Log in to Reply danberfan23 December 13, 2008 why couldnt they just let the younger abby grow up Log in to Reply partyvibe December 13, 2008 she is a cutie. Log in to Reply east.west December 13, 2008 I just pray that this girl has some acting chops, b/c I would hate for another young girl character w/potential to be water down by a bad actress. I did a Wishful Casting over at Goldderby for this character w/Ashley Benson (ex-Abby, Days), hopefully she'll end up as the newSerena Baldwin if they were casting for that. Log in to Reply FierceBish December 13, 2008 I wish they wouldve let actress grow instead of SORASing her like the girl who plays Starr Manning on OLTL. I liked it when Abby re-enacted the Jack/Ji-Min conversation: "…and then uncle jack said, "I own Jabot!!". lol that was great. I'm curious what storylines they will involve her in. The new Eden has annoyed me ever since she was Lukes daughter on Gilmore Girls. Log in to Reply Jamey Giddens December 13, 2008 I liked it when Abby re-enacted the Jack/Ji-Min conversation: "…and then uncle jack said, "I own Jabot!!". lol that was great. *** See, my Mama would have taken a strap to my hide! But I did love little Abby too, even if she did need to learn about staying out of grown folks bidness. Log in to Reply Jillian Bowe December 14, 2008 I know that's right. What the hell is Abby doing in adult business? Log in to Reply Scout December 14, 2008 "What the hell is Abby doing in adult business?" She overheard her Uncle Jackass spouting off like an idiot and told her bio dad what she knew because she thought it was funny — just like every other little kid in the world does; and it moved the plot along. And it was two or three years ago. So can we please move on? Log in to Reply season1217 December 14, 2008 What the hell is Abby doing in adult business?

Seasons you are soo true on Ashley and Abby… I know some won't like it but they really need to fix that- Abby being Victor's kid. I would LOVE for it to be some other guy's baby… Yeah I went there! *LOL* Its just so crazy and Ashley just gets a lil pep talk from Victor for that mess?!

Well, mom didn't wake up at all during the night. That was a surprise. I even got a lot of my exercise in.
I was thinking about how many people on SP and from different states & countries. Where else can a person communicate so often with so many people from around the world?
I always said I never traveled to another country because I didn't have to fly. Canada is attached, but I think I'm doing Canada a misjustice (is that a word?) If Canada wasn't attached, I wouldn't be able to say I've been to another country.
I just wish I had more time and could have visited further north. We just went to museums and saw the falls. Awesome sight!
I'm very happy to have been able to visit this great country.
Maybe someday I'll be aable to travel across the seas to other countries. Would love to visit Australia, NZ, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and so many more.
Maybe I should play the lotto...
Okay, which is it...a good day or a bad day?
Let's see, trying to dance to my Wii Just Dance, mom calls me to take her to bathroom. Later on the treadmill and she's down for her nap, she wakes and needs the potty chair. Forget the other exercise I was doing when she called me to pull her dress up on her shoulder. and then I know it was something she wanted while I was on my pedaler.
Maybe I should just give up exercising, but I did manage to get 110 min in!!! How did I manage that??? Oh yeah, if I start exercising just after her potty chair run, usuallyt around 7:00. then I know I'm good until she's ready to get up around 9:00.
Of course, it depends on how many times I get up with her during the might, I might be too tired to stay up at 7:00.
Shoot! Let's have a pity party Courti.
Being a caregiver can be frustrating but, I know one day I'll wish I had these interruptions.
(this blog is part of a challenge for one of my teams: "Blog about your day"
Okay, I'm making a correction. Guess I was just too wound up the day I posted this. I did 71 min of cardio not 110. I did a total of 110 min of exercise. Sorry. I posted a separate blog to this affect.
Professor Lupin has found another boggart in the wardrobe in the staff room at Hogwarts. This boggart has a special �talent�: it turns into what tempts you most to not live healthfully. Write a blog or journal entry in which you detail what you see when faced with this boggart and what you turn it into with that wonderfully helpful spell, Riddikulus. 40 points (once) for writing this blog.
As I open the wardrobe door out jumps a huge chunk of chocoate. As it jumps towards me I raise my wand ~~~~ RIDDIKULUS!! And it turns into a nice juicy delicious red apple.
I�ve been on a couple of freggies challenges that have helped me incorporate fruits and veggies into my diet.
I plan a menu for the whole week and put freggies down for my snacks. I try to keep up my calorie range as well.
I don�t know how long I will be able to do this, but I hope I can make this a new healthy habit for life.
I don�t feel as full and have lost weight.
And I did have fun, virtual fun, but real fun too. I know it was the people who made it happen for me. My cabin consisted of: KPACE7, MAMAPH, KARALYN, ELLE, BEACHLVRM, KIN59VARA, KARENG717, MRSSARAHPHALEN, LOSINTOCRUISE, CHANILYE, RUNNERJUDY, NANCY-GIRL, ROX5CAR, JOYGILKHIL, *~*MICHELLE*~*. The counselors: JNJASHBY, AZ_CHICA2011, SUR@723.
We have some pretty good pranksters in our cabin, but I also have to do a shout out to HILLRUNNER, she�s sneaky. There were a lot of others who would sneak into our cabin and leave a �present� then sneak out. I remember you too RUMBLETIGER, I'll be back at LBB before BLC-14 starts. Never a dull moment.
Hey, you can have fun on virtual campout. We had pillow fights, story telling, treasure hunt and pranks, visits to the boys camp across the lake....oh, sorry, I wasn't suppose to tell that.
I�ve made close friends just like you make in real camp, just not the personal contact, but still a good friendship.
I wish I had gone to �real� camp, but as a kid I was super shy and not into sleeping in same room with other people and eating�.ugh! Picky, picky, picky. I�d have starved.
I love my teams on SP, especially the role playing ones. It gets me out of this world and responsibilities to a fun and different world.
I know there is probably a lot more I will think to say later, but this is this for now.
On July 12, I wrote a blog for my The Challenge of Harry Potter team -Getting to Know Myself. We had to come up with 3 goals we wanted to work on for the week.
This week we were asked to evaluate those goals with the following guidelines:
S.M.A.R.T. = Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Timely
1) Clean/organize some hot spots around the house
2) Do exercises before going online
3) Keep up the laundry
1) I do hit a hot spot like the coffee table, kitchen table or kitchen counter. Places that company would see when they visit. The coffee table seems to be a landing spot for the most: newspapers, books, pencils, remotes, socks (don�t ask). Periodically, I do a quick sweep and put things where they belong.
2) I sometimes log online just to check out teams and any new info I should know about a head of time. Also, I have been getting 20 - 30 minutes of exercises done before my mom calls me to get her up. Of course, she has been sleeping in later lately so that helps too.
3) I have been keeping up the clothes pretty well, now towels are another matter.
They seem to have a life of their own. Just magically appear in one big pile. {Poof!}
All in all, I believe I have done pretty well on these goals.

AQUATIC FITNESS CLASSES (Aqua Fitness Newsletter!)
Water exercise is an excellent way to a fit and healthy body! The added resistance of the water offers the opportunity to improve flexibility and muscle strength without joint stress. Our certified water exercise instructors will take you through exercise in the water, often using buoyant equipment for balance, stabilization and added resistance. Whatever an individual's fitness goals or therapeutic needs, they can be met with the right mix of classes. All classes are taught by Aquatic Instructors certified through the Aquatic Exercise Association. Contact Ryan Caputo at 918-1476 for more information.
Aqua Power: This class is a great, low-impact way to focus on improving your muscle tone and cardio. Class is held in the shallow end of the pool, so no swimming skills are necessary. This class is designed for all levels. Class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 – 12:45 p.m. Water shoes strongly recommended, but not required. Drop-in fees are $5 for city residents and $10 for non-city residents or an 18-visit punch card is $32 for city residents and $55 for non-residents.
Aqua Zumba: Known as the Zumba® "pool party," the Aqua Zumba program gives new meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. Splashing, stretching, twisting, even shouting, laughing, hooting and hollering are often heard during an Aqua Zumba class. The Aqua Zumba class blends it all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout that's cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and most of all, exhilarating beyond belief. Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00 a.m. at Canal Street Recreation Center. Drop-in fees are $5 for city residents and $10 for non-city residents, or get an 18 visit punch card for $32 for city residents and $55 for non-city residents.
