A comprehensive understanding of the social and psychological impact of diabetes mellitus is important for informing policy and practice. One potentially significant, yet under-researched, issue is the social stigma surrounding diabetes. This narrative review draws on literature about health-related stigma in diabetes and other chronic conditions in order to develop a framework for understanding diabetes-related stigma. Our review of the literature found that people who do not have diabetes assume that diabetes is not a stigmatized condition. In contrast, people with diabetes report that stigma is a significant concern to them, experienced across many life domains, e.g., in the workplace, in relationships. The experience of diabetes-related stigma has a significant negative impact on many aspects of psychological well-being and may also result in sub-optimal clinical outcomes for people with diabetes. We propose a framework that highlights the causes (attitudes of blame, feelings of fear and disgust, and the felt need to enforce social norms and avoid disease), experiences (being judged, rejected, and discriminated against), and consequences (e.g., distress, poorer psychological well-being, and sub-optimal self-care) of diabetes-related stigma and also identifies potential mitigating strategies to reduce diabetes-related stigma and/or enhance coping and resilience amongst people with diabetes. The systematic investigation of the experiences, causes, and consequences of diabetes-related stigma is an urgent research priority.

The Daily Star Sunday are reporting that former Rovers manager Sam Allardyce was on the brink of signing Raul and Guti from Real Madrid last summer.
The newspaper is quoting Sam as saying that both players were keen to join Rovers, not just to play in the Premiership but also to link up with their good friend, Rovers defender Michel Salgado. However, due to financial constraints, the chairman got cold feet and the deal was not pursued further.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/5643342 Elliott Sadler, driver of the No. 38 Ford in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, sustained only minor injuries on Friday evening after a fall from a stage in Uptown Charlotte during the taping of the television program "Trackside" broadcast on SPEED. After rain showers earlier in the evening, Sadler slipped from the outdoor stage due to the wet surface bruising his left thigh. He sustained no other injuries as previously reported. Sadler was seen by an onsite medical team and left under his own power. He will compete in the scheduled NASCAR Busch Series (Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET on FX) and NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series (Sunday, 5 p.m. ET on FOX) events this weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- whats funny is that it wasnt a slip or a fall. for anyone who watches the show, host jeff hammond frequently does a concert style stagedive into the crowd. they talked saddler into giving it a try. he bailed. it looked pretty bad. i bet his boss is pretty pissed and hes gonna get clowned forever. |

Today is the opening of a new commercial season for Louisiana shrimpers.
There is uncertainty over low prices, whether consumers will buy their catch and if any danger still exists from the massive BP oil spill.
Harlon Pearce, chairman of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, was optimistic that shrimpers will be eager to hit the waters Monday.
He accompanied a group of fishermen on a test-run in Grand Isle and Barataria Bay on Friday.
They trawled in several areas and found no signs of oil.

[Forex | Euro vs US Dollar] We believe that possible bullishness could be seen during this trading session. Support is at (1.3134). Break below that area could lead us to neutral zone as direction would become unclear, but as long as price moves above that level the major scenario remains bullish.Long positions are favored for today.

Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Briggs & Riley Transcend 24" Expandable Upright was the only bag to earn perfect scores on durability, acing water resistance and abrasion tests and taking rough handling with ease. One note: The telescoping handle stuck a bit. In desert, rain forest, silver, and sunset.

Fibromyalgia is a common chronic condition whose main symptoms are specific tender points on various parts of the body, widespread musculoskeletal discomfort, morning stiffness, fatigue, and disturbed sleep. The cause of the condition is unknown, but it occurs most often in women aged 30 to 50. Other symptoms commonly believed to be associated with fibromyalgia are irritable bowel syndrome, urinary frequency, anxiety, headache, and numbness or tingling.
Apart from tender points on the body, physical exams and lab tests for people with fibromyalgia are usually normal. Because of this, some physicians are inclined to believe that the condition is "all in the patient's head." One researcher has noted that many of the symptoms of fibromyalgia, including certain tender points, are common in the general population, and goes so far as to question whether it is a real condition.1
However, the current consensus is that fibromyalgia is real, and the American College of Rheumatologists has given it an official medical definition. It involves the presence of widespread chronic pain and the existence of pain in at least 11 of 18 specific points on the body when pressure is applied. Although the cause of fibromyalgia is not known, it may be related to poor sleeping with incomplete muscular relaxation.
Antidepressants have been shown to help chronic pain from many causes 2and have been found to be effective in reducing fibromyalgia symptoms, even when given in doses too low to treat depression.3 Other conventional treatment for fibromyalgia may include antidepressants, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills, and anti-anxiety medications.
Various forms of exercise,4,5,43,53,54especially aerobic exercise, have been shown to be helpful for symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, most notably global well-being and physical functioning.52
There are three natural treatments that might be helpful for fibromyalgia, although the evidence is not yet strong: SAMe, 5-HTP, and capsaicin.
SAMe, short for S-adenosylmethionine, is a chemical derived from a combination of methionine, an amino acid, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main molecule for energy in the body. More well known as a treatment for depression and also osteoarthritis, preliminary research suggests that SAMe may be helpful for fibromyalgia as well.
Four double-blind trialshave studied the use of SAMe for fibromyalgia,6-9 three of them finding it to be helpful. Unfortunately, most of these studies gave SAMe either intravenously or as an injection into the muscles, sometimes in combination with oral doses. When you inject a medication, the effects can be quite different than when you take it orally. For that reason, these studies are of questionable relevance.
However, the one double-blind study that used only oral SAMe did find positive results.10 In this trial, 44 people with fibromyalgia took 800 mg of SAMe or placebo for 6 weeks. Compared to the group taking placebo, those taking SAMe had improvements in disease activity, pain at rest, fatigue, and morning stiffness, and in one measurement of mood. In other respects, such as the amount of tenderness in their tender points, the group taking SAMe did no better than those taking the placebo.
It is not clear whether SAMe is helping fibromyalgia through antidepressant effects or some other mechanism.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full SAMe article.
5-HTP, short for 5-hydroxytryptophan, is most commonly used as a treatment for depression. It is thought to work by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain. However, evidence that it helps fibromyalgia is still preliminary.
One double-blind study of 50 people with fibromyalgia found that those taking 300 mg of 5-HTP for 30 days reported significant decreases in the number of tender points and the amount of pain they experienced, compared to those taking placebo.11 They also noted improvements in sleep patterns, morning stiffness, anxiety, and fatigue. Interestingly, the people taking placebo also noted significant improvements in pain and sleep, although less marked than those experienced with 5-HTP. More studies are needed to determine how much 5-HTP really helps.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full 5-HTP article.
Capsaicin, the "hot" in cayenne peppers, is widely used as a treatment for various painful conditions, such as shingles and arthritis. One double-blind study of 45 people found that it may be beneficial for fibromyalgia as well.15 In this study, participants used either the capsaicin cream or a placebo 4 times a day for 4 weeks, rubbing it into the tender points on one side of their body. Those who used the real treatment reported less tenderness in their tender points than those using the placebo. Interestingly, the points on their untreated sides were also less tender. There was no difference between those using capsaicin or placebo in the amount of overall pain or sleep quality. It must be noted, however, that it is hard to believe the study was really double-blind, since it is impossible to hide the burning sensation caused by capsaicin!
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Cayenne Pepper article.

Well I wanted to take the family to the County Fair tonight. So, I check the fair's website to see if I can find their firearms policy. No dice.
So I call their information number and ask if a CCW holder can carry into the fair. The lady had to go ask (no biggie), but her answer was definitely lacking in the clarity dept. She told me that it was up to the LEO who was working the entrance. To press for some clarity, I asked if they used metal detectors, she said yes, i thanked her for her time and effort.
Next call was to the county Sheriff. I explained my question and the fair's answer and the dispatcher tried to get a hold of one of the deputies working the fair at the time. No Dice. So she told me that it was probably best to assume that it would be better to secure it before entering the fair. Again, thanks for time and effort.
So, given that there are metal detectors and the lack of clarity, i chose to disarm. So I get to the gate and sure enough BIG flourescent signs "No Firearms."
The best part was that the metal detector turned out to be two kids (17 or so) with hand wands. The kid who wanded me basically just covered my front between my belt and knees. He didn't even get up from his folding chair to do it.
So I ask the LEO inside the gate his take on CC in the fair, and basically he advised against it. He said if they saw someone with a gun, they'd be thrown into the dirt first and questioned later. But then he adds, "we do have a big gang problem here."
I thanked him and wished him a safe night.
Now there had to have been 20-25 LEO doing foot patrol inside this relatively small fair, and I felt that they were on it.
But is it too much to ask to get a definitive answer on a firearms policy. If you're gonna have metal detectors at the door, can you be a little more thorough about it. If I was carrying in an ankle rig, he would have never noticed.
So I'm done ranting, what are your experiences in these situations?

What Pat Bowlen really meant to say
Posted By Mike Klis On November 30, 2010 @ 1:41 pm In Coaches,General Broncos,Off-Field Issues | 49 Comments
First, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said Josh McDaniels is coming back to coach his team next year.
Then, Bowlen read his words and realized they came out a little stronger than he intended so he put out a more carefully worded statement that said he'll evaluate at season's end.
What Bowlen means is this: McDaniels is absolutely, positively coming back — unless the Broncos go 0-5 or 1-4 with a couple blowout losses in the final five games. Bowlen isn't counting on that happening.
McDaniels will be a better coach next year if he can bring in a couple more athletic defensive players. It starts with a healthy Elvis Dumervil.

Welcome to KelbyOne!
Q&A with Scott Kelby, CEO & CoFounder of Kelby Media Group.
Q. If I'm already a member of NAPP or Kelby Training, is there an extra charge for all this new stuff?
A. Nope — you just get it all now that we've become KelbyOne.
Q. I'm already a NAPP member, what does this mean for me?
A. It means your membership just got a whole lot better (even though that's terribly bad grammar, which is probably why we employ so many editors, but clearly none of them were allowed to read this Q&A). You now get access to the entire library of Kelby Training's online classes. All of them. Literally thousand of videos, hundreds of full-length classes. You get it all!
Q. If I'm already a Kelby Training subscriber, what does this mean for me?
A. Your world of learning just got a whole lot bigger and better. It means you now also have all of the benefits of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals rolled into your membership, but at no extra cost to you. Plus you get a subscription to the award-winning Photoshop User magazine and access to a fun, inspiring community of creatives just like you. Lots more stuff at the same price. It's a mountain of training, and you get it all.
Q. So, if I'm already a NAPP member, how much will it cost when it's time to renew my membership?
A. You're covered because we're "grandfathering you in" at NAPP's original renewal price. Since back in the 1990s, NAPP membership has always been just $99, and so if you're a NAPP member, you can renew your KelbyOne membership for that same $99 (even though the full price is $249). Best of all, your renewal rate stays the same, as long as you don't leave KelbyOne. If you leave, and then decide to come back at some time in the future, you'd have to join from scratch at the new price of $249, so in short…don't leave. You've got a killer deal as long as you stay current with your membership.
Q. But what if I'm a Kelby Training Subscriber?
A. You're grandfathered in too! A Kelby Training membership and renewal has been $199 for years, and thankfully that's not going to change for you — as long as you remain a KelbyOne member. If you leave, and then decide to come back at some later time, you'd have to join from scratch at the new price of $249, so stay up-to-date and you're locked in at the old price.
Q. What if I have both?
A. You can renew at whichever membership you had first. So, if you were a NAPP member, and you later joined Kelby Training, you can renew at the NAPP price. If you joined Kelby Training first, then you'd renew at the Kelby Training price.
Q. You really want me to stay as a member, don't you?
A. Are you kidding? Absolutely! So much so, that we just doubled all your member benefits without raising your cost. We really, really want you with us, and there's a lot more great stuff coming, starting as soon as Feb 1st.
Q. What can I expect from KelbyOne in 2014?
A. Lots of amazing new classes, including more classes on shooting and editing DSLR video, lots more training for graphics programs like Illustrator, InDesign, Muse, Dreamweaver and more. Along with the most amazing photography classes we've ever produced. More classes from your favorite teachers (like Joe McNally, Jeremy Cowart, Moose Peterson, Joel Grimes, Lindsay Adler, and of course me and the "Photoshop Guys"), plus lots of amazing new classes from some instructors that will blow your mind!
Q. What does a brand new member pay?
A. It's $25 per month, or they save $50 by choosing an Annual Subscription at just $249 and then they too can have it all.
Q. So does the NAPP member site roll over into the KelbyOne site now?
A. Absolutely! Right now, we're still maintaining the NAPP site for our members convenience, but it's all rolling over to KelbyOne. A lot of it is there already, but we've made lots of improvements.
Q. What else is new?
A. For our online classes, we now have a completely new, vastly updated player which makes watching the videos even better. Now you can watch our classes at 1.5x speed or even 2x speed. Also, you can pop out the viewer into a separate floating window, and just overall it's a much better user experience than ever before.
Q. What about the App? When can we expect an update?
A. That's up to Apple, but our newly redesigned iPad App is already at Apple awaiting their approval. As soon as they give it the thumbs up, we'll release it. It's much improved, and we're already working on the next update to the App which will include the ability to download a class for offline viewing, so you can watch classes while you're on a plane, or train, subway, etc. without a wifi connection. All good stuff.
Q. Will the magazine still be called "Photoshop User" magazine?
A. Yup. It's still the same magazine, produced and written by the very same people.
Q. Will everybody now get all the NAPP member discounts?
A. Yup, we're all in this together. KelbyOne will offer the same benefits offered previously from NAPP and KelbyTraining, but now it's just one product at one price from one source. Yay!
Q. You seem pretty excited about this!
A. I really am, and this is just the beginning — the first step of what we have planned this year. For anyone who wants to learn Photoshop, Photography, Lightroom, Design, Video or Lighting, this is going to be an incredible journey for them. No matter how you like to learn, we've got you covered. Tomorrow, I'm the guest blogger and I'll have more details behind how this all came together and our vision for the future, and I hope you'll stop by again tomorrow to give it a quick read.
Q. OK, what's the Website now?
A. It's kelbyone.com
Q. Can I tell my friends about this and share it on social media?
A. We'd be best pals forever if you did. Thanks.

As far as extended playing causing a discconect, I don't remember having that problem. Playing long enough will eventually cause a BSoD for me. but we're talking 8+ hours or more. Though Redwillow did that three times in a row at one particular spot.

Thank you so much Libertad & Nika! It took me hours of playing with the stripes, adding layers, textures, designs, etc. and I finally settled on this composition. Funny thing is that it was a relatively simple solution!

They weren't terribly happy to be here at first, having been taken from their home and mother (though apparently the mother wasn't too upset by the ordeal) but they seem to have come to at leas tolerate our presence and allow some petting now and then. Right now they're about three months old.
Bunny is the boy, so named because Jake has long joked that he wanted a bunny as a pet. I guess this is sort of a compromise, and it makes for a good joke every time we tell someone new. He's much braver than his sister, and is fond of pulling his head just above the edge of the couch or coffee table as if to say, "what's going on up here?" He also likes to crawl under the dining room chairs on his back and struggle to bring his paws together under the bars of the chair. I'm not doing this bit justice, but I've yet to get it on camera. I've also been trying to capture the manic tail chasing on camera, but that's difficult as well.
Walter is much more reserved, though she's become much braver in the past week or so. I've had a harder time capturing her on film since she's tended to run in the opposite direction when we have approached. We generally keep them out of the rooms upstairs, but I woke up to find them in the bedroom last Thursday since the door had been left open a bit. Walter darted under the bed when I tried to encourage her to leave and it took some serious conniving to entice her out.
Despite a few minor adjustments, like learning to keep the doors to the bedrooms closed, we've adjusted to them pretty well. Even if they did something bad, it's hard to be mad at cuteness like this:

Hi everyone, my next door neighbour have removed the garage they had in their garden and have put up a 5ft fence, now they can see into my garden and I want to plant shrubs that will grow about 6/7ft. They will be in full sun but also the wind when weather not good. They must be bird friendly so the birds can nest in them and low maintenance as I am 71 and disabled so would not be able to cut them down. I need about 4/5 depending on the spread. Can anyone suggest what are the best ones to plant when to plant them and where I can buy them from.
Cheers ragdoll

Pronunciation YouTube channel turns into a spooky mystery
YouTube user Pronunciation Book has stopped uploading his pronunciation guides, replacing them with a mysterious and creepy countdown.
Pronunciation Book has never been an enormous YouTube hit. Its pronunciation guides, dating back more than three years to April 2010, demonstrate how to pronounce common and uncommon words in American English, and rarely net more that a few thousand views, unlike Pronunciation Manual, which appears to be a parody.
It looks, however, as though the channel has been up to something for a very long time. Starting two weeks ago, Pronunciation Book has been uploading a 77-day countdown, noting that "Something is going to happen."
It's down to Day 61 at the time of this writing, and each video includes a creepy phrase, repeating "something is going to happen," followed by several seconds of strange clicking noises. Interestingly, going back through the videos, several of these strange phrases appear in his other videos: "I'm trying to tell you something, but you're just not listening" from May of last year, for example.
The clicking sounds at the end of each video have been the subject of much speculation, with many users positing that they are Morse Code. However, other users who have been studying the mystery believe it's something else again; by using spectography to convert the audio files into visual data, they've managed to create an image file that seems to reveal the lower part of a man's torso in the style of the Lord Kitchener "I Need You" army recruitment poster.
If it's a viral marketing attempt, it's a very detailed one; a public Google Doc has been analysing the videos, tying the mystery to several other YouTube channels. The current theory is that the countdown is pointing to an alternate-reality game (ARG) produced by a man named Thomas Bender of Synydyne, creator of ARG This is My Milwaukee. The day after the Pronunciation Book YouTube channel went live, Bender registered the domain PronunciationBook.com.
Other clues include references to heroes, a mission, and someone called "The Chief."
At this time, the countdown is due to expire on September 24. We can't tell whether there's anything significant about that date, but if you want to mine the channel for clues, you can find all the Pronunciation Book videos, dating back to April 2010, here.
Whatever Pronunciation Book is up to, the amount of work put into the long play is truly impressive -- that is one deep rabbit hole. It's definitely a channel worth watching.

> Hurricane Ida Aims for Gulf Coast
Date Published: November 9, 2009
Cruise News
Hurricane Ida Aims for Gulf Coast
(7:30 a.m. EST) -- Hurricane Ida, now a category one storm, has finished pounding Mexico's Caribbean coast and Grand Cayman and is now setting its sights on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
A hurricane watch is in effect from Eastern Louisiana to Florida's panhandle. A hurricane watch means that Ida could begin to affect weather conditions there in the next 24 - 36 hours. The National Hurricane Center specifically notes that Hurricane Ida will not impact New Orleans.
Ida is expected to weaken to tropical storm status before making landfall early Tuesday morning.
Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Spirit, which is based in New Orleans, did depart 1.5 hours early yesterday as a precaution. Cruise lines that left this weekend for Western Caribbean cruises from other ports -- namely Ft. Lauderdale's Port Everglades, Miami and Tampa, along with Galveston -- departed on schedule but did rearrange itineraries for ships such as Princess' Crown Princess and Carnival's Inspiration, Liberty and Conquest.
Cruise Ship Itinerary Changes
Crown Princess
will be rearranging the port calls on its November 7 itinerary to avoid Ida. The ship did depart Fort Lauderdale as scheduled, and the new cruise itinerary is as follows: Princess Cays; sea day; Grand Cayman; Roatan, Honduras; Cozumel, Mexico; sea day; return to Fort Lauderdale.
Carnival Liberty, after departing Saturday from Miami, will have its regularly scheduled sea day and then visit Ocho Rios. On Tuesday, it will be at sea – also as planned – and will then call at Grand Cayman and Cozumel before heading back north to Miami. Carnival had announced that Inspiration's five night cruise from Tampa, leaving Saturday, would make an unexpected visit to Key West and skip Grand Cayman but it's now reversed the decision.
Carnival announced Sunday that passengers on Carnival Conquest, which sails seven night Western Caribbean voyages, will also notice a shakeup in the itinerary; the ship will still call at Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Montego Bay.
Royal Caribbean, which also has ships cruising in the Western Caribbean this week, has reported that there are no changes in itineraries.
Weather Outlook: Next Affected Ships & Ports
Carnival's Carnival Fantasy is due to arrive in Mobile, Alabama, tomorrow (and subsequently to depart again). Mobile is potentially affected by the storm though Carnival has made no announcement yet about its impact on Carnival Fantasy.
Cruise Critic readers on cruises in the Caribbean this week are reporting that sea conditions are a bit rambunctious.
There's likely some flooding and beach erosion at this point in Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Grand Cayman but Hurricane Ida will not have a great impact on the ports for visitors this week.
We'll keep you posted.

FLASHBACK: The Beatles Record 'Eight Days A Week'
Sunday, October 6, 2013
It was 49 years ago today (October 6th, 1964) that the Beatles began recording "Eight Days A Week." John Lennon, who co-wrote the song with Paul McCartney, was never a fan of the song, and prior to his death in 1980 told Playboy, "We struggled to record it and struggled to make it into a song. It was (Paul's) initial effort, but I think we both worked on it. I'm not sure. But it was lousy anyway."
The song was recorded by the group in London's legendary Abbey Road Studios between 3 and 10 p.m. with Lennon on acoustic guitar, McCartney on bass, George Harrison on 12-string electric guitar, and Ringo Starr on drums. 13 different takes were recorded of the song, with take six being the "master" on which the group added overdubs.
Paul McCartney told us that while working with the teams remastering the Beatles CD's as well as creating Rock Band, memories of his time working on the music with John Lennon have come flooding back: "I used to go out to John's house in Weybridge to write songs. And at that particular time, I had been busted for speeding so I had to have a driver to take me out there. And we were chatting on the way. I remember saying to the guy, 'Well how've you been -- you been busy?' And he said, 'Oh yeah mate, I been workin' eight days a week!' And I went into John's house, I said, 'Right -- I got the title, 'Eight Days A Week.' And we wrote it there and then."
"Eight Days A Week," which was featured on the group's British album Beatles For Sale and the American Beatles VI (six), is mainly remembered for the groundbreaking fade-in, an effect usually used for the ending of records.
Although it wasn't released as a single in Britain at the time, it was in the U.S. On March 13th, 1965, "Eight Days A Week" knocked the Temptations' "My Girl" out from Number One, going on to top the charts for two weeks before the Supremes overtook the Beatles with "Stop! In The Name Of Love."
Although the Beatles never performed "Eight Days A Week" in concert, in a surprise move, Paul McCartney opened his 2013 tour dates with the song, finally giving it its live world premiere.

There will be a reception immediately following the event in the law school lobby. Advance Sheet update January 13, 2011 The S.C. Supreme Court reviewed and affirmed this appeal from a capital plea and sentencing. Because the appellant's childhood sexual abuse was already presented, the appellant was not prejudiced by not allowing further testimony on the subject from the appellant's aunt. State v. Bryant, No. 26906, is available online. Harleysville issued a commercial general liability policy (CGL) to Crossman, developers of condominiums. The Court reversed the trial court's holding that the homeowners' claims fell within the definition of an "occurrence" and found coverage existed for Crossman's claims. The Court, in analyzing whether a claim is covered under a CGL policy, first focused on whether there has been an "occurrence." It concluded that 1) damage that does not arise from a fortuitous event is not an "occurrence;" 2) damages to the insured's project that are the natural and probable consequences of faulty workmanship do not constitute an "occurrence;" and 3) for faulty workmanship to give rise to potential coverage, the faulty workmanship must result in an "occurrence," that is, an unintended, unforeseen, fortuitous or injurious event. If there has been an "occurrence," then the Court will look to whether there has been "property damage" as defined by the policy. Crossman Communities v. Harleysville Mut. Ins. Co., No. 26909, is available online. Justice Pleicones concurred in a separate opinion. In this direct appeal, the Court reversed and remanded the trial court's grant of summary judgment for Respondent in a breach of contract action because a genuine issue of material fact existed. The Court found that there was evidence that title insurance was available and whether the Seller took the necessary steps to correct the Purchaser's objections is a question of fact. Therefore, summary judgment is not appropriate at this stage. M&T Group, LLC v. Palmetto Point, No. 26910, is available online. Reinstatement sought Kenneth B. Massey has filed a petition for reinstatement. The Committee on Character and Fitness invites comment on the petition no later than March 7, 2011.

French Roast Pork
From Good Housekeeping
triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
The spice mixture rubbed onto the pork is a classic French combination known as quatre épices, which means four spices. Weve taken the liberty of adding one more for good measure. Once the pork begins roasting, the aroma of warm spices will fill your kitchen.
