The Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, recently clarified the applicability of New Jersey's Joint Tortfeasors Contribution Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-3, to claims for contribution from parties that have been dismissed pursuant to the Statute of Repose. In Cherilus v. Federal Express, 435 N.J. Super. 172 (App. Div. 2014), the court determined that a defendant in a product liability and negligence action could not pursue a contribution action against the third-party defendant, who had been dismissed pursuant to New Jersey's Statute of Repose.
The plaintiff in Cherilus was injured on a cargo lift at a Federal Express facility where he worked, and subsequently filed suit against Linc Facilities Services (LFS), which was responsible for maintaining the lift. LFS then filed a third-party complaint against Columbus McKinnon Corporation, the manufacturer of the lift. The trial court granted summary judgment to Columbus on the grounds that LFS' third-party claims were barred by New Jersey's 10-year Statute of Repose. LFS then settled with the plaintiff and appealed the dismissal of Columbus so that it could pursue a claim for contribution for a portion of the settlement that it paid to the plaintiff.
The Appellate Division determined that LFS had no right to contribution from Columbus because New Jersey's Joint Tortfeasors Contribution Act does not apply "where the payment is made in fulfillment of a voluntary compromise or settlement of a claim for damages attributed to a joint tortfeasor." The Cherilus court emphasized that the Joint Tortfeasors Contribution Act requires a money judgment against one or more joint tortfeasors, and one of the joint tortfeasors must pay a disproportionate share of that judgment. The Cherilus court rejected LFS' argument that the trial court's summary judgment order in favor of Columbus satisfied the "money judgment" requirement of the contribution statute.
The Cherilus court reasoned that "a defendant is not required to pay another tortfeasor's share of the damages" because it can "proceed to trial on the plaintiffs' personal injury claims and receive a credit under the Comparative Negligence Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.2, for any proportion of responsibility for the injuries that the jury attributes to another tortfeasor, even if the other tortfeasor was earlier dismissed from the case pursuant to the statute of repose." Thus, a defendant who settles with the plaintiff does not need to "cover the liability of a co-defendant who has been dismissed from the case." Nevertheless, if a defendant settles and pays more than its fair share, "it can preserve its claim for contribution from a potentially liable joint tortfeasor through appropriate judicial proceedings and a judgment order." However, LFS did not obtain a consent judgment or any other form of judicial intervention to preserve a cause of action against Columbus. Accordingly, the Cherilus court concluded that LFS had no right to contribution from Columbus.
The Cherilus decision is significant because it expands upon the New Jersey Supreme Court's recent decision in Town of Kearny v. Brandt, 214 N.J. 76 (2013), where the court held that defendants may receive a credit under the Comparative Negligence Act for the portion of fault that is allocated to a joint tortfeasor who is dismissed pursuant to the Statute of Repose. The Cherilus decision takes the holding in Brandt one step further and applies it in the context of a claim for contribution against a joint tortfeasor who was dismissed pursuant to the Statute of Repose. More specifically, the court in Cherilus reasoned that because joint tortfeasors receive a credit under the Comparative Negligence Act for the percentage of fault attributable to a joint tortfeasor who was dismissed pursuant to the Statute of Repose, there is no reason for the remaining joint tortfeasor(s) to seek contribution from the dismissed joint tortfeasor. To the extent that settling joint tortfeasors' wish to retain claims for contribution against other joint tortfeasors who have been dismissed from the case, they must ensure that a consent judgment is entered, or otherwise seek judicial intervention to explicitly preserve a right to contribution.

CALDWELL With the downright cold temperatures we've had over the last several weeks, emergency agencies are seeing more and more house fires.
In fact, since October, the American Red Cross of Greater Idaho has responded to 70 house fires across the lower part of the state.
One of the latest fires came Tuesday in Caldwell. It displaced a family of six. Investigators say the fire was accidental, spreading from the fireplace to the attic.
The family that lost their home chose not to do an on-camera interview with KTVB but said what they had is now gone, and that includes what few gifts they had for Christmas.
Their home is now vacant. Doors left open, smoked stained ice hangs from just about every ledge on the home. What used to be the roof is now just a gaping hole.
Even though firefighters got to the home quickly Wednesday morning and were able to extinguish the flames, the fire already destroyed so much. Shingles of the roof are now scattered across the front yard. The family lost everything.
This is what happens when the temperatures drop, alternative heating sources. People who have faulty wiring, this is when these things get exposed, said Nicole Sirak-Irwin, the CEO of the American Red Cross of Greater Idaho.
The American Red Cross of Greater Idaho is just one of the many agencies that have jumped in to help this family.
The Red Cross put the family in a hotel until Monday, provided them winter coats and comfort kits -- bags filled with essentials like soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, etc. Things that you don't realize are missing until it's too late.
Boise and the whole Treasure Valley are great at helping our families and our neighbors survive, said Sirak-Irwin.
The Caldwell Fire Department also helped out, and dipped into its burnout fund to help the family.
We try to do what we can for them. If they need food or whatever, so we just write them a check and they can do with it what they need to do with it, said Dan Kinney, a firefighter with the Caldwell Fire Department.
The family that lived in the home on Kimball Street in Caldwell is a single mom with five kids that range in age from 27 to three, the oldest has Down syndrome.
With Christmas less than two weeks away, the few gifts the family had, were also destroyed in the fire.
Now this family has a lot to figure out, including finding a new place to live and getting clothes to brave this cold weather.
The Salvation Army is also helping out by working to gather donations for the family. They're accepting donations on behalf of the family. In this case, donations are not tax deductible.
If you're interested in helping out, Lt. Kristy Church with the Salvation Army says the family needs everything from head to toe. Money and clothing are at the top of the list of needed items.
Here are the ages for the family, excluding the mother:
27-year-old male
17-year-old girl
16-year-old girl
14-year-old boy
3-year-old boy
Some items have been received already, but storage is a real problem. If you are interested in helping out in any way, contact Lt. Kristy Church. Her cell phone number is (503) 313-3438.
You can also contact the Caldwell chapter of the Salvation Army at 459-2011.
It's important to point out, these agencies, the Red Cross, the Caldwell Fire Department Burnout Fund and the Salvation Army, help families like this year-round.

Scientists Map Epigenome Of Human Stem Cells During Development
Billions of data points provide big picture of 'human epigenome' during critical developmental window
Scientists at The Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) and The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) led an international effort to build a map that shows in detail how the human genome is modified during embryonic development.
This detailed mapping is a significant move towards the success of targeted differentiation of stem cells into specific organs, which is a crucial consideration for stem cell therapy.
The study was published in the journal Genome Research on Feb. 4, 2010.
Senior author and Senior Group Leader at the GIS, a biomedical research institute of Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Chia-Lin Wei, Ph.D., said, "In this study, we mapped a major component of the epigenome, DNA methylation, for the entire sequence of human DNA, and went further by comparing three types of cells that represented three stages of human development: human embryonic stem cells, human embryonic stem cells that were differentiated into skin-like cells, and cells derived from skin. With these comprehensive DNA methylome maps, scientists now have a blueprint of key epigenetic signatures associated with differentiation."
"The cells in our bodies have the same DNA sequence," said TSRI Professor Jeanne Loring, Ph.D., who is a co-senior author of the paper along with Isidore Rigoutsos of IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center and Chia-Lin Wei of GIS. "Epigenetics is the process that determines what parts of the genome are active in different cell types, making a nerve cell, for example, different from a muscle cell."
DNA methylation causes specific subunits of DNA to be chemically modified, which controls which areas of the genome are active and which ones are dormant. DNA methylation is critical to the process in which embryonic cells change from "pluripotent stem cells," which have the ability to turn into hundreds of cell types, to "differentiated cells," distinct types of cells that make up different parts of the body, such as the skin, hair, nerves, etc.
In reviewing the data produced by the study — information on the methylation of three billion base pairs of DNA — the scientists were able to identify previously unknown patterns of DNA methylation. They identified cases in which DNA methylation appeared to enhance, rather than repress, the activity of the surrounding DNA, and found evidence to suggest a role for DNA methylation in the regulation of mRNA splicing.
"We produced a very large amount of data," said Loring, "but it actually simplifies the picture. We identified patterns of many genes that are methylated or de-methylated during differentiation. This will allow us to better understand the exquisitely choreographed changes that cells undergo as they develop into different cell types."
Louise Laurent of TSRI and the University of California, San Diego, one of the first authors of the study, added, "The data are publicly available, and we are looking forward to learning what other scientists discover from using this information for their own studies on individual genes, embryonic development, and stem cells."
"This is definitely an exciting finding in the field of stem cell research," added co-first author Eleanor Wong, who is a graduate student from the GIS in Dr Wei's lab. "Using this knowledge, scientists can now survey different cell types and developmental pathways, identify the genes affected, and characterize the functions of these genes in the process of differentiation. It's all very exciting!"

Safari Adopts WebKit2
Back in April of 2010, Apple has announced a new version of WebKit framework which is essentially called WebKit2
Well, it looks like the upcoming Mac OS X Lion release will feature an improved Safari web browser that finally utilizes Webkit2.
One of the main framework goals is to utilize a split process model, so the web content would be placed into a separate process. As a result, bad plugin, tab etc. won't crash the whole web browser.
This behavior is very similar to Chrome's; however, as split process module is directly integrated into WebKit2 framework, other clients will be able to use it as well.

Skyfire Cashes in Almost 1 Million Dollars
Might make Opera jealous.
With all the "problems" that plagued Skyfire for the iOS launch, the numbers are in.
According to the MobileCrunch post, a company behind mobile web browser Skyfire has sold more than 300 000 copies for their first weekend.
If we do the math:
300,000++ * $2.99 = ~$900,000
Now, Skyfire will obviously not receive all that cash, as Apple wants their cut as well (30%, if no exclusive deals were made).
That still leaves the company with more than 600,000 USD to spend on candies and chocolate.

Shoppers can save as retailers go head-to-head
Wednesday - 11/28/2012, 5:00pm EST
By JOSEPH PISANI
AP Business Writer
(AP) - This holiday season, the hottest trend among retailers isn't found on a store shelf. It's taking place at the cash register.
Major retailers, from Best Buy to Toys R Us, are promising to match their competitors' prices. Generally customers just need to bring in an advertisement or printout to prove that the same item is available elsewhere at a lower price. In some cases, shoppers can come back with a receipt and get a refund for the difference if the price of an item they bought fell.
Best Buy Co. Inc., Target Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Sears Inc. offer price matching to customers all year round. But what's different now is that Best Buy and Target are matching online retailers such as Amazon.com for the first time. That's a big deal, since online prices tend to be lower than those at stores.
Shoppers will be able to save some extra money, but they're going to have to read a lot of fine print to do so.
"Price matching sounds good, but there are so many exclusions, it sometimes isn't as good as it sounds," says Edgar Dworsky, the founder of ConsumerWorld.org, which tracks deals for shoppers.
For instance, Target limits the number of online retailers that it will price match against to just five. Best Buy has selected 20, but only matched online prices from Nov. 1 to Nov. 17 and will start again from Nov. 27 to Dec. 24.
Toys R Us is offering price matching for the first time and will only match prices that customers find in other brick-and-mortar stores. Walmart also matches against in-store prices.
Toys R Us, Best Buy, Sears and Target say they will match prices found on their own websites. It's not uncommon for retailers to offer steeper discounts online than in their actual stores. (But Toys R Us says it won't match prices on its own website if the item is marked as an "online-only price.")
Even the most experienced bargain hunters can get tripped up by all the rules. But shoppers can save some money if they're diligent.
"It really is a way to save money and shop at the store you want instead of one that's inconvenient," says Dworsky.
Here are five ways to get the most out of price matching offers:
If you want to take advantage of a price match offer, read the store's policy closely. You can find the guidelines on the store's website.
Print out the policy and bring it with you. Having a hard copy will be helpful if you need to argue your case.
"Know their policy backwards or you may be bluffed into thinking something doesn't qualify," says Dworsky.
Always bring the advertisement or the printed web page for the item you want to price match. Walmart doesn't require bringing the ad because it says cashiers have access to all local advertisements. But Dworsky recommends bringing ads in anyway. If there's any confusion, you'll be better prepared to make your case no matter where you shop.
The cashiers and customer representatives are always looking for a reason not to approve the transaction, says Dworsky.
Some retailers will give you money back if you see a lower price after you buy an item. Keep a hold of your receipts and, particularly for big-ticket items, continue to look for lower prices.
Best Buy will issue refunds until the end of January. Toys R Us lets you seek a refund up to seven days after buying an item. Sears customers can get a refund after 14 days. Target is letting customer's price match against brick-and-mortar retailers until Dec. 24 for any item bought after Nov. 1. You can only ask Target to match the price of an online retailer until Dec. 16.
Many retailers have hired cashiers specifically for the holiday rush, so the new employees may not be up-to-speed on the store's price matching policy. Heather Wheeler, who runs savings website TheKrazyCouponLady.com, recommends handling the transaction at the customer service desk instead on the cashier.
"(Those staffers are) trained a little more and are more knowledgeable," says Wheeler.
You can also price match depending on how you pay. EBay Inc.'s payment processer, PayPal, promises to match a lower price if you've already made a purchase using the service. That includes airline tickets. PayPal will match the prices of retailers that don't let customers use PayPal, however. Just fill out a form and upload a receipt when you find a lower price. PayPal will give you back up to $1,000 for all purchases made until Dec. 31.

All quotes tagged Kids
(17887 quotes found)
"Giving kids clothes and food is one thing but it's much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important, and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people."
"I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving."
"Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off."
"Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are. And figure out what you personally love. And like go after it with everything you've got no matter how much it takes."
"I bet when neanderthal kids would make a snowman, someone would always end up saying, 'Don't forget the thick, heavy brows.' Then they would get all embarrassed because they remembered they had the big husky brows too, and they'd get mad and eat the snowman."
"Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends."
"Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much."
"One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late."

Welcome, Unregistered.
You last visited: Today at 09:16 AM
But now, after really only a short time on SD, I can see why the questions get annoying. I'm a pretty patient person and I enjoy answering questions, but even I start thinking, "Sheesh. Haven't these people heard of the word "search?" Particularly when it's something that has JUST been answered a page or two back.
Like you said, Tipper, I would feel embarrassed to be asking something that was just addressed - over & over.
I feel like it's taken me awhile to kind of feel my way around here, and understand the way things are done. I don't know if that makes sense. But basically I was intimidated to ask anything or contribute too much. And then I got it. What is annoying and what is a reasonable question. And what is helpful to contribute.
I really have learned a lot by joining SD. I've been couponing since I was a kid/teen so over 20 years. But being on SD has ratcheted up things for me and changed the way I view things. I'm able to see deals in a different way now.
I don't mind the newbie questions like "Where can I find that coupon?" but I will admit the single "HOT" deal threads posted on the HOT Deals board & moved here by the mods are just annoying.
They usually are deals that had already been mentioned in the weekly or monthly threads & dissected completely. Or they are just mildly WARM deals that only merited a post or two on the weekly thread.
Discounted Coke, hmm ok --- when you PAY me to take the Coke & there is an in package coupon booklet, then we can talk about hot deal.
Drop! Take Cover! Hold On! Are you ready? Be prepared, have a plan, have 3 kits (work, car & home).
Before SD I didn't understand the concept of rolling my existing RRs or ECBs-a totally went off for me! Before that I would spend my RRs or ECBs on random stuff. It definitely takes things to a new level for me. I didn't know anything about Catalinas at grocery stores before this site! Understanding how it works makes me feel empowered and I love spending less than $5 for 6 bags of groceries For me it is saving the most that I can. Now if I just could get DH stop grocery shopping except for meat.....
Anti-Bully Team ~ We support Bailey327 & Whatsthedealyo
With the way prices are rising, my new "extreme" level of couponing or SDing is pretty much necessary JUST to keep our expenses down to what they were 2 years ago. I actually need to do an analysis soon to see if that has actually happened. Even with SDing I'm not sure I'm keeping our grocery bills down to where they were.

3 faces to watch in pop & jazz in 2014
San Diego musicians Gayle Skidmore, Larry Groupé and Leonard Patton are poised to make a bigger impact in 2014
In June, Groupé will conduct the week-long Palomar Film Music Workshop, which is designed to provide an immersive, in-depth study of the artistic and dramatic craft of creating original music for motion pictures.
"My goal is to continue working as I do, to keep composing and producing new work, and to pass on the craft to the next emerging group," he said. "It has taken me years to realize my work is not my identity; I am just now shedding that old notion. Doing work that makes you happy is important, but it isn't necessarily who you are and probably shouldn't be."
Leonard Patton
San Marcos
Website: onesheet.com/leonardpatton/splash/
Q: You're primarily a jazz singer, but are also accomplished doing gospel, pop, R&B, rock and more. What draws you to music?
A: "I create music to inspire and to make people smile. I don't always feel like what I have to offer is of any significance to others. It doesn't really matter. It's all about glorifying God with what I've been given and reaching into the hearts of people with what very little I have. Music is the best way I can do that."
Q: We live in an age of categorization. What is your musical trademark?
A: "I don't like to label myself at all. If I'm singing Stevie Wonder, or jazz, or a musical, I'll go there. I love to improvise, so vocal improv is definitely in my DNA."
Q: You have a master's in Jazz Studies from SDSU. How much of what you sing is intuitive and how much is based on your formal training?
A: "Singing was a natural thing for me and schooling helped bring it all together, in a cool way. To me, it's all about being free in the music — and that's with every style. It's about not letting the technical side steal your freedom, but enhance it."
A: What song was most played at your high school prom?
Q: "Ha! I didn't go to my high school prom. The girl I asked said 'No,' so I refused to go with anyone else. It was probably something by Michael Jackson, Prince, George Michael, Madonna or Whitney Houston."
Q: Who are your biggest musical influences, and why?
A: "Stevie Wonder -- he's simply the best. One of the great singers/composers/musicians of all time. Pat Metheny -- I own all his music. He's one of the world's greatest musicians and he opened me up to a greater spectrum in the jazz world ,to artists like Michael Brecker, Ornette Coleman, Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Haden, and many others. I also consider him one of America's great composers. Bobby McFerrin -- The great vocal creative innovator of all time. There's still no one that can do what he does. Amazing. My dad -- I probably wouldn't be doing music now, if it wasn't for my dad.
"The Beatles -- I didn't really appreciate them until I became an adult. They changed music. They continue to inspire me. Peter Sprague -- I play with him frequently, but he truly inspires me every time we play or every time I hear him. He is San Diego's gem. Joe Raposo -- He wrote much of the music for 'Sesame Street' and 'The Electric Company.' He is my first musical inspiration, other than my dad. I remember every melody to this day. What a dream to have worked with Jim Henson for all those years. Chris Thile -- the great mandolin player and his former group, Nickel Creek. Seriously, they made some of the most amazing music I have ever heard."

"Overall I'm very happy with my save the dates, the pictures looked better online then when it was printed but still very satisfied. Also, it was very worth the extra $$ to get the return address printed on the envelopes. Curving the corners makes a huge difference and makes it look much more expensive than it is. Delivery was supposed to be Wednesday, it was Thursday not a huge issue but still should be mentioned."
"I used the Majestic purple for my lettering and it turned out beautiful! I was so pleased when I opened my package. And even though I used the free simple cardstock, it was absolutely perfect! It got here before the date I was estimated to receive it. It only took about a week to get here, and I used the cheapest shipping"
"I loved this! It makes my colors perfectly and came out beautifully. They shipped it fast and it was packages so meticulously. I love it!"
"My fíance and I were un sure how the magnets were going to come out. But we received the order very quickly and when we saw them they were Perfect! We have had so many compliments on the save the dates and would very much recommend the Paper Divas!"
"for this card, all I did was add our picture! The card is so beautiful I did not want to change it! The paper is durable and perfect. Everyone has loved our save the dates! They came in so quickly after ordering. Great product!"

Article Summary
NASA has discovered the first earth-size planets outside of our solar system. The discovery was made as part of NASA's Kepler mission and involves the discovery of two planets currently named after the project: Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f. If the Kepler name sounds familiar, that's because NASA also recently announced the discovery of Kepler-22b, the most Earth-like planet discovered to date. Kepler 22b is orbiting a star similar to our sun, and is capable of possessing liquid water, an essential feature for life to exist on a planet.

According to the candidate's website, he has worked both in the private sector for 28 years and the public sector for 10 years.[1] According to a post on District D candidate Julie Keim's campaign Facebook page, Hodges' wife is a former Douglas County art teacher.[2]
Hodges is currently opposed by incumbent Doug Benevento for the Director District E seat on the Douglas County Board of Education.
Hodges has not filed any campaign finance documents for 2013 as of September 4, 2013.[3]
Hodges has not yet received any formal endorsements.
What's at stake?
Four seats, including that of the board president, are at stake. John Carson, the incumbent in District B, is not running for re-election. Barbra Chase Burke and James Geddes are running for election to the seat. Carson, who was first elected to the board in 2005, is ineligible to run for another term because of Amendment 17 to the Colorado Constitution, which says that no "elected official of any...school district....shall serve more than two consecutive terms in office".
The District D race includes newcomers Judi Reynolds and Julie Keim running for the seat currently held by Carrie Mendoza. Incumbent Doug Benevento will face Hodges in the District E race. Ronda Scholting has filed with the Colorado Secretary of State to challenge for Meghann Silverthorn's seat in District G.
DougCo Parents Want Change
Audio editing controversy
In late September, Meghann Silverthorn accused challenger Ronda Scholting of selectively editing a September 13 interview between Silverthorn and local radio host Mike Rosen. The interview featured a discussion of the motivations behind efforts to replace current board members in the 2013 election. Rosen stated, "These are nice, well-meaning, naive soccer moms who can't distinguish between an individual teacher and the collective menace and intransigence of a teachers' union with its political power" and Silverthorn agreed with the statement. Scholting's ad includes Rosen saying, "You're up against mostly women. Nice, well-meaning, naive soccer moms," and audio of Silverthorn's agreement with Rosen. Scholting notes that her editing was comparable to techniques used by broadcast journalists while Silverthorn believes the ad does not truly represent her position on district policies.[4]
Rally outside district offices
A September 27 demonstration outside of the district's administrative offices featured 200 attendees marching in support of local teachers. Demonstrators held signs that supported teachers and opposed the board's reform efforts over the past four years. According to interviews with the Denver Post, attendees argued that teachers were frustrated by limited instructional time, new evaluations and the district's attitude toward instructional staff. District officials have countered these claims by citing internal surveys with teachers that revealed high morale and greater flexibility in the classroom.[5]
Involvement of community groups
Local groups have ramped up efforts to support incumbents and challengers in the 2013 election. DougCo Champions for Kids is a non-profit that is also registered as a part of Texas-based firm C3 Solutions. This organization supports the reform efforts of the current board through direct mail and door-to-door campaigning. DougCo Champions for Kids receives some funding from the Independence Institute, a Denver-based think tank that promotes free market principles. The C3 Solutions executive board features two officers who are affiliated with the institute. Another pro-board group is the Douglas County Education Alliance, which has been connected with an Arizona consultancy called DC-London founded by Republican adviser Sean Noble.[6]
Challengers in the 2013 race are supported by a non-profit called the Strong Schools Coalition and a political action committee (PAC) called Douglas County Parents. Strong Schools Coalition has received $4,000 in donations according to group president Lauren Mutton. The group states that it is self-funded with contributions from Taxpayers for Public Education used for legal fees associated with a lawsuit against the district's voucher program.[6]
Americans for Prosperity, "It's Working"
Board reform efforts
The board's reform efforts including a voucher program, dissolution of the teachers' union agreement and a pay-for-performance plan have become the focus of attention in the 2013 campaign. Strong Schools Coalition has led efforts to reverse some of these reforms and eliminate political involvement in board functions.[7] The state chapter of Americans for Prosperity ran ads in the region starting in August supporting the board's reform efforts while admonishing critics. [8]
Partisanship in board races
Though Colorado school boards are officially nonpartisan, Douglas County has drawn attention for the involvement of the local Republican Party in board elections. In the 2009 and 2011 elections, the Douglas County Republican Party endorsed the six current members and former member Dan Gerken.[9] The party has endorsed incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn as well as challengers James Geddes and Judi Reynolds for the 2013 campaign.[10] Former District G candidate Nicholas Land criticized the board as too loyal to the Republican Party and wanted the board to represent the entire community regardless of partisan affiliation.[11] Former District D candidate Kevin Leung refused to interview with the Douglas County Republicans after starting his campaign. "I believe that local, non-partisan school board elections should not be drawn into party politics. Decisions and agendas should not become strongly influenced by party ideologies instead of serving the people and the children in our schools," said Leung.[12]

Everything knows that she's had a number of major make-overs since she got together with her image-concious other half.
And it seems that Kanye West is willing to splash some serious cash in a bid to keep wife-to-be Kim Kardashian looking 'perfect'
The rapper has reportedly forked out a staggering $250k so that his reality star fiancee has a team of stylist and make-up artists. As you do.
[ Kim Kardashian shares smiling baby North West photo - and she looks just like her mum ]
[ Kim Kardashian admits that she wants 'two more children' in next ten years as she gushes about 'best friend' Kanye West ]
A source close to the pair told RadarOnline: ''Kanye has told Kim he will spare no expense to make her look ready to go to a major photo shoot whenever she desires.
''So, Kim's hair stylist, make-up artist, and stylist all based in Los Angeles, are on call 24/7, ready to get on a private jet to be whisked to her location.''
Thanks to Kanye, Kim now has her beauty team on call ALL THE TIME (bit jel) and makes the effort to keep herself primped and preened at all times.
The source added: ''Kim only trusts her team to make her look gorgeous and doesn't want to work with outsiders.
''This doesn't come cheap, and Kanye will shell out $250,000 just while he is on tour for Kim's glam squad. The money doesn't mean anything to him because Kanye wants his lady to look perfect."
Fashion *ahem* designer Kanye, is clearly not keen for his future wife to be spotted out and about looking anything less than super glam - and money is clealry no object.
And if you thought that was extravagent (we do), then we predict that Kimye's forthcoming wedding is going to be the most lavish bash in Hollywood history.

Is artwork an attack on pit bulls?
Whether it's art, propaganda, or a combination of the two, a memorial to victims of fatal dog attacks is creating controversy as one of dozens of entries in a public art display in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The work is called "Out of the Blue," a reference to how dog attacks — and particularly pit bull attacks, the artist repeatedly points out — usually happen.
The display, created by a woman identifying herself as Joan Marie Kowal, consists of more than 30 decorated crosses, representing the number of people killed in dog attacks this year, and images of the victims, many of them children.
The artwork is rubbing some dog lovers, and particularly pit bull lovers, the wrong way, which has led to some demonstrations and the kind of heated, everybody's an expert debate that follows pit bulls around wherever they go.
Joan Marie Kowal, we suspect, has more experience in badmouthing pit bulls than she does in creating art, but then again artists don't need credentials in this competition.
Every year, for 19 days, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids is opened up to artists in ArtPrize, a competition that awards $200,000 to the grand prize winner.
Downtown becomes "an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters," according to the ArtPrize website. "Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown … It's unorthodox, highly disruptive, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike."
This year, "Out of the Blue" has proved among the most disruptive.
A week ago, perturbed pit bull owners brought their dogs to Calder Plaza, where the entry is displayed, in hopes of presenting their views and showing that pit bulls — the breed most often mentioned in the memorial — aren't vicious killing machines.
When they sat down in front of the memorial, Kowal complained they were obstructing the public's view.
Kowal told MLIVE.com in an email that "visitors can't even see the art and many have told me the bully breed owners, sitting on the ledges blocking the view of the victims' biographies and refusing to move, makes them unable to enjoy the piece."
Grand Rapids Police Lt. Pat Dean said Kowal filed a complaint in late September about people sitting with pit bulls on the stone wall in front of her ArtPrize entry. Police found nothing illegal at that time, he said, and members of the group, while on public property, moved at the request of officers.
Kowal describes the work as "an opportunity to Pay it Forward, and show the good side of humanity. Visitors are encouraged to express their sympathy, respect, and support for the victims and their families by leaving teddy bears, flowers, or memorial decorations in the designated heart-shaped memorial space."
According to a brief biography listed on the ArtPrize website, Kowal is an animal lover, who has feral cats and pet squirrels. She attended Grand Valley State University.
Not a whole lot can be learned about her through searching her name on the Internet, and there's no mention of any previous artistic pursuits.
There was a 2011 MLIVE.com article that mentioned her name, and quoted her as being a supporter of a proposed pit bull ban in Wyoming, Michigan.
Perhaps she became an artist "out of the blue." Perhaps her anti-pit bull passion needed an outlet.
We support the right for just about anyone to call themselves an artist, assuming they are making some form of art. We don't have a problem with Kowal expressing herself — either vocally or through her "art" — on the streets of Grand Rapids. By the same token, we have no problem with pit bull owners and their dogs sitting down squarely in front of it, as long as it's public property. They have the right to express themselves in public, too, whether they're ArtPrize contestants or not.
So do we. And our opinion is Kowal is pushing her personal agenda under the guise of a non-profit organization's art competition, and that it's likely part of a well-plotted effort by those forces intent on painting all members of the breed with the same brush, reinforcing negative stereotypes while playing fast and loose with the facts.
Kowal says she plans to add three more crosses this weekend in remembrance of three other people who died from injuries she says were caused by pit bull attacks.
"That is not my fault that they were all killed by pit bulls," she said. "I'm just showing the facts."

Uber rude: Guide dog forced to ride in trunk
The National Federation of the Blind in California has filed a lawsuit against Uber Technologies Inc., saying its drivers have refused to transport blind people who use guide dogs and, in one instance, forced a guide dog to ride in the trunk of a car.
One registered Uber driver in Sacramento put a passenger's guide dog in the trunk while transporting her, and refused to pull over after the customer realized where the animal was, according to the lawsuit.
Other blind riders with service animals have been refused service and harassed, the National Federation of the Blind of California alleges in a civil rights complaint filed this week in San Francisco federal court.
Uber is a ride-hailing app that connects its registered drivers with riders. It is up and running in more than 70 U.S. cities.
While the company does set guidelines for the drivers — and pretty much any schmo can be one — it points out those drivers are independent contractors, and that the company cannot be expected to be able to fully control their behavior. (Or, it follows, be held legally liable for it.)
Uber, like Lyft Inc. and other car-booking companies, are seeking to crack open the $11 billion U.S. taxi and limousine market, according to Bloomberg News.
Through the app, they hook up people needing rides with registered drivers offering one, and take a cut of the fares collected — in effect collecting money while doing none of the actual physical work, and avoiding any actual responsibility.
The federation filed the lawsuit based on complaints from more than 30 blind customers nationwide who have been denied rides because they had guide dogs — a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and California civil rights laws.
The advocacy group says the company monitors and controls interactions between drivers and customers, and should adopt and enforce policies to prevent discrimination against blind people with service animals. It is seeking a court order declaring the company discriminates against blind customers with guide dogs, and measures that would ensure that drivers don't refuse rides to the vision-impaired.
"The Uber app is built to expand access to transportation options for all, including users with visual impairments and other disabilities," said Eva Behrend, a spokeswoman for San Francisco-based Uber. "It is Uber's policy that any driver partner that refuses to transport a service animal will be deactivated from the Uber platform."
What action, if any, was taken against the driver who allegedly put a guide dog in a car trunk wasn't specified, but we think he deserves a lot more than being "deactivated."

You gotta love this landlord
Landlord Judy Guth has some strict rules about pets.
If you don't have one, she won't rent to you.
And if a resident of her 12-unit apartment house in North Hollywood loses a pet, they must get another. She insists renters whose dogs die go with her to the shelter to adopt a new one.
Some have criticized her policies as discriminatory. We find them — and her — a highly refreshing change of pace when it comes to landlords and their rules.
"My experience has told me you get people with a lot of love in their hearts when you get pet owners," says the 84-year-old widow, who was born in Hungary.
Most of the tenants in Guth's 12-unit apartment house have lived there over a decade, according to Los Angeles Daily News columnist Dennis McCarthy, and any apartments that do become available are generally quickly snatched up.
Guth thinks landlords who don't allow dogs and cats are missing the boat.
"I've talked to other rental property owners about it, but they just laugh," she said. "They're stupid. The only vacancies I've had are when people had to move because the economy forced them out of state for a job.
"Within a day or two, there's a new dog or cat moving in. I can't remember all the people, but I can remember their pets."
As for any accidents on the carpets, Guth has found a fairly painless way to make tenants pay for that.
Rather than charging a security deposit, she installs new carpet for each incoming tenant, and requires them to pay an extra $100 a month for it. When a tenant leaves, they — having paid for it over the course of a year — can take the carpet with them.
Guth's apartments run from $1,2000 a month to $1,500 a month for a two-bedroom unit. She bought the building 40 years ago for $260,000. Last month, someone offered her more than $2 million for it.
Each tenant is allowed up to two dogs. And they can be of any size. Up to three cats are allowed. Prospective tenant dogs are interviewed, and are required to be vaccinated and wear an ID tag. Dogs have to be on a leash when they are outside the apartment.
According to the column, there's no law that prohibits requiring tenants to have pets — just as there is no law that prohibits landlords from banning them, or banning certain breeds, or banning dogs over a certain weight.
Jerry Schiess, who manages the property for Guth and owns a shepherd-mix rescued after Hurricane Katrina, says he gets calls every day from people asking if anyone's planning to move soon.
Terri Shea, operations manager of the 3,000-member Apartment Association of Southern California Cities, says Guth may be one of a kind: "Tve never heard of a landlord renting to only people with pets," she said.

Walking in support of Utah's pit bulls
Pretty enough to be a postcard, this photo was taken Sunday during a group dog walk in Salt Lake City.
It was one of the regular bi-weekly walks staged by the organization, SLC StrutABulls, which seeks to improve the image of pit bulls by holding walks in various public locations.
Organizers chose the State Capitol this week to raise awareness about House Bill 97, which is headed to the state Senate for review, according to KSL.com. The bill would prohibit municipalities from enacting or enforcing breed-specific rules, regulations, policies or laws.
About 10 Utah cities now outlaw pit bulls or pit bull mixes, according to Natalie Schun, with SLC StrutABulls.
About 60 dogs — mostly pit bulls or mixes — and their owners walked around the grounds of the Capitol on Sunday.
"The (bad) ones that you hear about are just (a few) out of who knows how many," said event co-organizer Kelly Lawson. "Any dog can be mean if it doesn't get the proper socialization, exercise and attention that it needs.
"We are out to show that these are good dogs and can be good dogs no matter what breed they are."

Kayla can stay, landlord must pay
The landlords of a Boston apartment building have been ordered to pay $25,000 to a tenant with HIV/AIDS for trying to force the man to get rid of his dog.
The ruling, issued by the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, pertained to a mutt named Kayla, who — though not a service dog or a certified therapy dog — provided emotional support to her owner.
The complaint was brought against the owners of the Brighton Gardens building by Richard M. Blake, who was diagnosed with HIV infection more than two decades ago, according to the Boston Globe.
After his diagnosis, Blake isolated himself and rarely left the house.
"He was depressed, basically lounging around the apartment all day long, and his weight rose and blood pressure got out of control,'' said Denise McWilliams, general counsel for the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts.
Blake's doctor recommended a dog to help lift Blake's mood and improve his mental and physical health.
"She's just given me sort of a routine in my life,'' Blake said of the boxer mix he got in 2008. "She's given me a lot of joy. Animals just seem to make it hard for you to be in a bad mood … Ever since I have had her, the walks and the tons of exercise I do with her have helped.''
Blake said his landlord gave him permission to get the dog, but two months later tenants were notified that a no-pet policy in their leases would be enforced.
After unsuccessful attempts to get the landlords to make an exception, Blake filed a complaint with the state commission in December, 2008.
In its ruling, the commission said that evidence "supports a finding that requiring Complainant to give up his dog would seriously jeopardize his emotional and physical well-being.''

Hero pit bull turned away by landlords
Diamond is a documented hero — credited with saving the lives of her California family and named one of the nation's top ten "Valor Dogs" — but landlords only see her as trouble.
Her owner says that despite being named one of the nation's top ten "Valor Dogs" by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), dozens of landlords are turning away "Diamond" because she's a pit bull, WBIR-TV reports.
Darryl Steen, Diamond's owner, says she woke him up when his apartment caught fire last October. He was able to get one of his daughters to safety by dropping her out of a window, but couldn't reach the second child.
When firefighters finally got to her, Diamond was laying on top of the girl in an effort to protect her from the flames.
The dog suffered severe burns, but has recovered.
Steen says that several landlords have told them that pets are welcome, only to renege when they learn that Diamond is a pit bull.

Compromising principles in Coeur d'Alene
If I'm a senior citizen — and I do not consider myself such — then so is Denny's, which makes me wonder why they are trying to kill me.
While Denny's has more than 1,500 outlets across the country, we haven't stopped at them on our trip across America, vaguely recollecting some of the chain's restaurants were accused of discriminating against black customers at some point in its 57-year history.
It's the same reason – 21 years after the oil spill in Alaska – I still don't gas up at Exxon stations (unless it's the only choice at the exit, or their prices are the lowest). It's my way-outdated and somewhat variable sense of social justice – old grudges still held against corporations, often long after I've forgotten why I'm holding them, and easily overlooked if the price is right.
I'm willing to let bygones be bygones if you let a couple of decades pass, and tempt me with a "Value Meal." It helps, too, if you've cleaned up your act in the interim.
So, passing through Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, I pulled in under the bright yellow sign, told Ace I'd only be a minute, and went inside for a quick bite — fully intending, of course, as we did with the Waffle House, to share the experience with you, the reader.
By way of history, Denny's, like the Waffle House, started off as one restaurant — actually a donut shop, named Danny's Donuts, in Lakewood, California. It had 20 locations by 1959, when the name was changed to Denny's to avoid confusion with another chain called "Doughnut Dan's." In 1977, it would introduce its "Grand Slam Breakfasts," reportedly in honor of Hank Aaron.
In the 1990s, Denny's was named in a class action suit filed by African-American customers who claimed they'd been refused service and forced to wait longer or pay more than white customers. The case resulted in a $54.4 million settlement in 1994.
After that, Denny's created a racial sensitivity training program for its employees, and began running advertisements featuring Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford, from the television show, "The Jeffersons." In 2001, Fortune magazine named Denny's the "Best Company for Minorities."
This year, though, Denny's came under ethnic fire again, for a commercial that used the 150th anniversary of the Irish potato famine, which left more than a million dead, to promote an all-you-can-eat french fries and pancakes offer. It later apologized and pulled the ad.
My visit to Denny's was the first in a year or so, so I took some time familiarizing myself with the multi-page menu. There was a page of special entrees for people 55 and over (quite an arbitrary cut off point, in my view), and another page of "Value Menu" items (not restricted to old farts) – low-priced entrees that the restaurant seems to make up for with higher prices for everything else (including $2 sodas).
Among the Value Menu offerings, at $4, was the "Fried Cheese Melt."
It's a grilled cheese sandwich, with mozarella sticks embedded in the American cheese — that's right, four breaded and deep fried sticks of cheese, on a bed of cheese, between two pieces of sourdough bread, buttered and fried.
Fortunately, the Fried Cheese Melt is not on the senior menu, because it would probably kill us after just a few bites — and by us, I mean both actual seniors and those of us still enjoying that frolicsome, vital and exploratory stage of life known as our fifties.
At 57 — the same age as me — Denny's should be smart enough, sympatico enough not to thrust us 50-somethings into the category of seniors. Or at least, if they insist on doing so, offer us some sweeter deals.
That, of course, would make everything – even the Fried Cheese Melt — OK.
