Owners of multi-unit properties should be familiar with Section 5431.04(A)(3) of the Ohio Revised Code, which requires a landlord to, "[k]eep all common areas of the premises in a safe and sanitary condition." At first glance that language seems fairly straightforward. However, what happens when it's not a tenant who is injured while in a common area, but the guest of a tenant?
This very issue was brought before the Ohio Supreme Court in Mann vs. Northgate Investors, LLC., d.b.a. Northgate Apartments 2014-Ohio-455 (Mann). In that case, Lauren Mann was injured when she left her friend's second-floor apartment. The hallway and stairwell leading to the exit were dark because all the bulbs had burned out in the light fixtures. Mann was seriously injured when she stumbled off the last step and fell through a glass panel.
Mann sued Northgate, alleging that they had negligently failed to maintain adequate lighting for safe ingress and egress to the property. The trial court dismissed the case on the basis that because R.C. 5321.04 applied only to tenants and not their guests, Northgate only owed Mann an "ordinary duty of care." The trial court further held that the danger was open and obvious. Mann appealed, and the Tenth District Court of Appeals reversed. The Supreme Court of Ohio accepted the case for review because the decision conflicted with a similar case decided in the Ninth District. The sole issue for consideration was whether R.C. 4321.04(A)(3) applies to a tenant's guest properly on the premises and injured while in a common area.
In a unanimous decision, the Ohio Supreme Court held that R.C. 5321.04(A)(3) applies not only to tenants, but also to tenant's guests, so long as they are properly on the premises. The Supreme Court found that a landlord's negligence in such situations is negligence per se, that is, that a violation conclusively proves that the landlord violated a duty to the tenant. When a landlord is negligent per se, the defense of "open and obvious danger" is inapplicable. However, whether the landlord knew or should have known of the violation is a factor in determining liability. Sikora v. Wenzel 2000-Ohio-406 (syllabus). The Mann case has been remanded back to the trial court, where Mann is seeking over $500,00.00 in damages.
In a nutshell, a landlord owes the same duty of care to a tenant's guest as he does to a tenant. Because a violation of a duty owed under R.C. 5321.04(A)(3) constitutes negligence per se, a landlord cannot use the defense that the violation is open and obvious. Accordingly, landlords should make sure that the common areas in their properties are kept in good repair.

Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 10

Negative: 2 out of 10
Drift is utterly conventional in so many ways. But the relatively unknown cast, the rough hewn setting and startling cinematography — footage that rivals many a surf documentary's best shots — give it a boost.
The direction, by Ben Nott and Morgan O'Neill, is average, except for the surfing sequences, which are easily as striking as what we see in documentaries about the sport. Another positive is the soundtrack, with amusing high-energy rock tunes of the era.
I'm a sucker for films with great surfing footage, let alone wacky '70s hairstyles. But this overlong, cliché-infested Aussie period drama tested my patience.
May 6, 2013Drift paddles aimlessly between plotlines, only finding its groove out beyond the break.
When Drift sticks to the likable, gently humorous contours of occasionally fractious brotherly love, broken up by thrillingly shot surfing footage, it has plenty of charm, period flavor and breezy visual breadth... Where the movie routinely disappoints, though, is in pursuit of a perfect storm of conflict story lines.
Manages to get a fair bit right about early 1970s surf culture when it isn't trafficking in the hoariest of David-vs.-Goliath cliches.
The obstacles that the Kelly brothers encounter are as uninspired as the film's treacly lessons about brotherhood and staying true to one's principles.

Royals' signing of Bloomquist a head-scratcher
I think they
just saved the picture
KANSAS CITY -- The Royals and infielder
Willie Bloomquist
have reached an agreement on a two-year contract, MLB.com learned on Friday.
Bloomquist is expected to compete for the Royals' second base job with
Alberto Callaspo
, who finished last season as the regular at that spot.
A right-handed batter, Bloomquist, 31, played seven seasons with the
Seattle Mariners
. He had a .263 average in 540 games and played every position in the infield and outfield.
The deal was pending a physical examination, which Bloomquist was scheduled to take on Friday in Kansas City. His contract was believed to be worth about $3 million for the two years.
He doesn't have much power -- just six homers in his career -- but has 71 stolen bases in 87 attempts. His on-base percentage is .322 for his career, including .377 last season when he batted .279.
"He's an on-base guy, a speed-type player and a hustler," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. "He's a
Craig Counsell
-type who really plays hard, hustles and knows how to play."
Really? He's a hustler
he hustles? Do you get double-secret extra credit for that? And this might be the first time that a player with a .322 career on-base percentage has been described as "an on-base guy." At least by a modern, (presumably) Web-equipped baseball man. Why not also describe Bloomquist as a "doubles guy"? After all, he did hit one double last year.
As a commenter
points out, the Royals have now committed $11.4 million in 2009 to
Kyle Farnsworth
Mike Jacobs
Horacio Ramirez
and Willie Bloomquist. For $11.4 million you can actually get a
player. But of course this is one of the things foolish organizations do: They complain that they can't afford good players
spending millions of dollars on not-good players.
Or, as another commenter comments:
This is flat out retarded. If you can't find a Willie Bloomquist clone in your minor league system you aren't looking hard enough. There have to be middle-infielder types floating around that can "play" the OF, hit for crap and suck up a roster spot for $400,000. There is no need to pay a premium for this type of "production."
Egads, I am sure glad I am not a fan of this team.
Me too.

ANSYS Acquires Century Dynamics.
ANSYS, Inc. , a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced that it has acquired Century Dynamics, Inc., a leading provider of sophisticated yet easy-to-use simulation software for solving linear, nonlinear, explicit and multi-body hydro-dynamics problems. The up-front purchase price of $5,000,000 will be paid in cash. In addition, the agreement provides for future payments contingent upon the attainment of certain performance criteria. Excluding the effects of acquisition-related amortization and any one-time deal related charges, the acquisition is expected to be slightly accretive to earnings within fiscal year 2005.
"Century Dynamics' focus on ease-of-use is very much aligned with our focus, only in a completely parallel technology," said Jim Cashman, president and CEO at ANSYS, Inc. "This acquisition is attractive to customers, stockholders and employees for its advanced technology, growth potential and market presence. We believe that by aligning our global sales and marketing resources with Century Dynamics' outstanding technology, we will continue to deliver a more complete and comprehensive solution to our customers."
Century Dynamics' main product, AUTODYN(R), can solve many types of problems with its extensive solver library. Solvers include computational structural dynamics finite element solvers (FE), finite volume solvers for fluid dynamics (CFD), mesh-free particle solvers for high velocity, large deformation and fragmentation problems (SPH), and multi-solver coupling for multi-physics solutions including coupling between FE, CFD and SPH methods.
"We are constantly looking to strengthen our product offering so that we can address a larger percentage of the overall simulation needs of a virtual product development process," said Mike Wheeler, vice president and general manager of the Mechanical Business Unit at ANSYS. "Our immediate goal with Century Dynamics is to begin technology-sharing projects and have products embedded into the ANSYS(R) Workbench(TM) later this year."
The acquisition of Century Dynamics will support ANSYS' continued global expansion and will provide new opportunities for both organizations to further develop breakthrough and innovative CAD/CAE solutions that accelerate the application of CAE simulation results to design decisions. Century Dynamics will continue to operate as a separate subsidiary, maintaining its products, sales channels and other partner relationships.
"Century Dynamics offers strong capabilities in structural and fluid dynamics problems and is a leading innovator in techniques for fluid-structure interaction which will enhance current ANSYS technology," said Naury Birnbaum, a founder of Century Dynamics, Inc. "Plus, our strengths in the government/defense and offshore fields are a natural complement to the ANSYS product line. Customers and partners of Century Dynamics will directly benefit from this acquisition by working with an innovative company like ANSYS that is truly leading the advancement in simulation technology."

Bid to stop export of RWS dolphins fails in Philippines
Published on Oct 18, 2012 6:00 AM
MANILA - A Philippine court has denied a petition by animal welfare groups for a new temporary restraining order to stop 25 bottlenose dolphins from going to the Marine Life Park at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), which is scheduled to open later this year.
A "temporary environmental protection order" granted last Friday by a court in Quezon City expired on Wednesday.
The request to renew the order was heard by a different judge, who ruled that there were no irregularities in how the dolphins were brought from the Solomon Islands to the Philippines, nor in their re-export to Singapore.
The Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources still needs to grant an export licence for the dolphins - brought here between 2008 and last year. The bureau was not available for comment on RWS' application for one.

Due to the "financial crisis" in U. S. real estate and the relative strength of the Canadian dollar in the past couple of years, an increasing number of Canadians are purchasing a second home or vacation property in the U.S. However, unless properly structured, the ownership and disposition of a U.S. property can be fraught with complications for the misinformed and ill prepared.
Joint Tenancy and your U.S. vacation home
Joint ownership, as a general rule, is not a recommended form of ownership for Canadian residents who have decided to purchase real property in the U.S. as this form of ownership can create U.S. gift and estate tax problems. For example, U.S. gift tax may be imposed on the creation or termination of the joint tenancy. In addition, 100% of the value of the property is included in the estate of a deceased joint tenant if the surviving joint tenant is not a U.S. citizen; unless the executor of the estate can prove that the surviving joint tenant contributed funds towards the purchase of the property.

To evaluate postoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and its association with postoperative cardiac events and multiorgan morbidity in uncomplicated cardiac surgery patients.
A cohort of 945 patients from the 5,436 coronary artery bypass grafting patients enrolled in the international Multicenter Study of Perioperative Ischemia (McSPI) Epidemiology II (EPI II) study was investigated. Inclusion criteria were low to moderate risk profile, postoperative hemoglobin level ≥10 g/dl, minimal postoperative blood loss, and no evidence of any morbid event on the day of surgery. RBC transfusion was assessed during the first 24 postoperative hours and cardiac as well as multiorgan outcomes from postoperative day 2 to hospital discharge. Multivariate analysis was applied to assess the effect of RBC transfusion on multiorgan outcomes. A secondary propensity score analysis was performed in 4,465 patients without early postoperative morbid outcomes.
Transfused patients (193/945, 20.4%) were more likely to suffer cardiac events (P = 0.03), harvest-site infection (P = 0.002), and composite morbidity outcome (P = 0.04). RBC transfusion was associated with cardiac events on multivariate as well as on propensity score analysis (adjusted odds ratio, 1.39; 95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.92; P = 0.04), and with harvest-site infection on multivariate analysis. Additionally, propensity score analysis suggested possible associations of RBC transfusion with increased risks for composite morbidity outcome and in-hospital mortality, renal morbidity, pneumonia, and mediastinitis.
The data suggest a potential association between postoperative RBC transfusion and increased morbidity for cardiac surgery patients with low to moderate mortality risk profiles, adequate hemoglobin levels, and low bleeding rates.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Carl, your words reflect great wisdom and compassion. You don't wear rose colored glasses, you express yourself well and have such a nice way of saying things.
Patricia, your wording is clear; you always make good sense. Sadly, religion gives way to hypocrisy far too easily. A most destructive trait. Your realism refreshes me.
Chris, old wounds hurt when they show up in a new situation. My guess is that these events are red flags waving, trying to tell you areas in which you need healing. Trust your feelings; they are real and provide valuable information.
Mindy, Friday! Already! 2013 moves right along.
And sometimes small things begin to worry me disproportionately. I put a big plant in the hall of this building, and some neighbours liked the initiative and said so. Others began to post anonymous notes - it wasn't good enough - and began to pust the plant around. I found it in dark corners, where it will die, it was pushed against the wall, so the leaves broke, and I put it back every time. Now I don't know what to do: put the plant in the garbage, kill some neighbours, burn the building? I've been pestered quite a lot when I was younger, and this plant incident brings up a lot of memories I'd rather had forgotten...
Joan, you couldn't be more correct in your assessment of the non-religious and of the wonderful people who are a part of this group.
It's the theists who are supposed to be the caring, humanitarians, but their main problem is that they get sidetracked by divisive dogma and sectarianism.
Atheists don't have all that extra and unnecessary religious baggage, which in turn allows us to focus our energies and empathy on humanity with a much clearer and rational vision.
Mindy, I am so proud of you and the way you handled the situation! You stand tall, confident, with a backbone of steel, and a heart full of compassion as well as a great funny bone. Now what more could one want from a friend?! I agree with Ruth, unfriending is appropriate and maybe even required.
You know, the thing about atheism, it is a good and decent way to perceive the world. Even though the basic theme is no belief in god/s, the effect is to open my eyes, and so many others' eyes, to a much larger world. Believing in god produces such narrow comprehension and dogmatic thinking that I find less and less with which to be patient.
Thanks again, Patricia, for being a relay for missed messages.
Steph, I love you kitty's feetz!!
Ruth, thank you for your support; you have been my strongest ally all these years, even when I need to listen more carefully to others. Thank you, dear fiend.
Patricia and Ruth, maybe a walker is an excellent idea for me. My doctor says to go for more walks, but I am so unsteady on my feet, maybe I will take some action to stabilize myself and get out more.
To all my Atheist Nexus friends, good night, sweet dreams, and a great tomorrow.
Dear Atheist Friends, you are inspirations! Through diseases, injuries, unresolved conflicts, each one of you bounces back like champions, with courage, insights, compassion, determination, and stretch your minds; all these and other attributes I find so appealing.
Joan, keep posting about anything you want. AN would shrivel up very quickly if the only topic anyone was ever invited to discuss was atheism. We're multidimensional people who are atheists, not atheist robots. I personally value discussing problems, as mature companionship. Honeymoon relationships, where conflict is suppressed rather than discussed, are boring. How else can we learn from one another?
My walker is blue and has three wheels, Patricia. Don't need it around the house or to go grocery shopping, but like it for longer forays. It looks something like this stock picture.
Booklover, unfriending seemed reasonable to me.
Mindy love the facebook post.
Patricia, thanks for reposting Mindy's comment. It is better than I even dreamed!

Jourilabs, the joint venture of French and Lebanese partners, opened its blood diagnostic reagent manufacturing plant in Addis Ababa as the first of its kind.
While launching the grand opening of the plant at the Sheraton Addis last Friday, Homam Kouwatli (PhD), technical manager/partner of Jourilabs, an affiliation of the Amsahj Group said the decision to bring Jourilabs to Addis was to take part in the promising market and progress being made in the country.
Jourilabs is specialized in the manufacturing of a wide range of clinical chemistry reagents, staining material and standards. "The aim of our laboratories is to achieve the highest possible quality in development," he said. Moving the 20 years of expertise that penetrated the international market a while ago would bring about huge satisfaction for both the company and the country, he added.
According to the founders of Amshaj Manufacturing Plc/Jourilabs, the journey in Eastern Africa has started as the first investment takes place in the vibrant city of Addis Ababa. "We are eager to provide a high--end product that can compete in terms of quality and innovation with top brands in the world," Khaled Challah, Partner said.
They offer high quality products presented in a variety of convenient sizes and volumes to meet the demands of both the small private laboratory and the large hospital laboratory, according to Mebrhatu Meles, state minister of industry. "We have eagerly been looking for such a pharmaceutical laboratory that can hugely boost the country's demand for reagents and equipments," he said. Thus, as the only company producing diagnostic reagents for laboratories, Jourilabs would feel proud, the company officials reiterated.
Items such as Albumin, alkaline, uric acids, phosphates, lactate and iron are among the product lists unveiled by the company. Founded in 2014, Jourilabs has been working with SORCHIM, the leading Swiss enzymes supplier worldwide by the standards of ISO 9001, which makes the company a pioneer in the field. And according to the state minster, the company would be able to increase the national reagent and pharmaceutical production, which is currently limited to 39 percent as the national demand for drugs and medical supplies is met through import (purchase and donation).

Re: Naxos in April
Because the island will be quiet at the beginning of April I suggest you focus your search on Naxos Town or Agios Giorgios (St. George) Beach, which is next to and just a short walk from town.

Re: Naxos in April
We stayed at The Hotel Grotta, in Naxos Town, 5 to 10 minutes walk away from the town waterfront & bus station and close to the Kastro/Citadel. A lovely hotel, cheap (amazingly cheap to be honest) with very friendly hosts (run by mother, father, sister & brother, of course) and lovely rooms. We were most impressed with it.
Looking now it would be 40 euro per night for a double room (for room, not per person) including breakfast in early April.

It sure was. The Royals finished with 20 hits, their most ever at Fenway Park and most overall since July 9, 2005 against the Twins. Every starter scored at least one run and had at least one hit.
The last three hitters in their order Mitch Maier, Yuniesky Betancourt and Jason Kendall were 8 of 14 with seven RBI.
The nine earned runs were the most Wakefield has ever allowed while a member of the Red Sox. He gave up nine against the Reds on July 2, 1993 while playing for the Pirates.
So much for the momentum generated on the road trip. When the starting pitching stinks like it has the last two nights, momentum means little.
I guess thats how the game goes. You feel like youre on top of your game and you get crap like that. Thats why youve got to get a fresh mind. Youve got to come back and fight," David Ortiz said.
At least Bill Hall looked good. He hit 89 and said he had a good curve the Sox wouldn't get him throw. He pitched in high school and always wanted to see what he could do in the majors.
Then there's Dustin Pedroia. He was 0 for 5 and is 9 of 60 (.150) with two RBI in the last 15 games. He denied speculation that his right knee is bothering him.
Thats nothing. Theres nothing wrong with my knee, he said. I dont make excuses for my play. I play hard every day. ... I can guarantee you that I wont end the year hitting .260 or whatever the [expletive] Im hitting now. I can guarantee that and I dont guarantee a lot. I work more than anybody in baseball, thats a fact, too. Ill definitely put the time in and make sure that I have a great year.
So there you have it.
Zack Greinke tomorrow night. It's not going to get any easier.
