Simons Tortolani '94 Named Head Coach of US National U19 Team
BALTIMORE, Md. (1/28/14) - Princeton women's lacrosse alum Kim Simons Tortolani '94 was named the head coach of the U.S. Women's National Under-19 Team, it was announced by US Lacrosse on Jan. 21.
She will lead the team in its quest for a fifth consecutive world title at the 2015 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Cup, July 23-Aug. 1, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
"I am thrilled and honored to be coaching the 2015 US U-19 team," Tortolani said. "The game of lacrosse has provided me with so much both personally and professionally, and I look forward to this exciting opportunity and experience.
"I know from experience the powerful impact Kim can have on a group," Princeton head coach Chris Sailer said. "Her passionate and hard-driving personality has been imprinted on every team she has ever played for or coached. As a leader, Kim creates an environment that fosters competitive intensity, team chemistry and high achievement. If I know Kim, she can't wait to get going on this next new challenge. Team USA will be extremely fortunate to have someone with her knowledge and experience at the helm as they take to the field to represent their country in international competition."
A two-time All-America, Tortolani helped Princeton win its first national title in 1994. Captain of the 1994 NCAA championship team, Tortolani was a four-time All-Ivy League selection. Simons finished her career at Princeton with 144 points on 119 goals and 25 assists in 69 games. It was at Princeton, that she met her husband Justin, a former member of the Princeton men's lacrosse team and current spine surgeon.
Tortolani is the current head coach at The Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, Md., where she has compiled a record of 84-39 in her nine seasons. Prior to Bryn Mawr she spent nine seasons as the head coach at Georgetown. From 1996-2004, she guided the Hoyas to seven consecutive NCAA appearances, with three trips to the semifinals while posting a record of 113-43.
"We were overwhelmed and delighted by the depth and talent in the pool of candidates, but Kim's combination of professional accomplishments, leadership style, and personal character make her ideally suited to lead the team into competition in Edinburgh next summer and to carry on the proud tradition of the U.S. Women's National Under-19 Team," said Nathaniel Badder, US Lacrosse director of national teams.
Team USA is the reigning U19 World Champion, having defeated Australia in 2011 under head coach Krystin Porcella. The Americans have won the last four titles, defeating the Aussies in 1999, 2003, and 2007 as well as 2011. Australia won the inaugural title in 1995.

Well this is just a tid bit of good news for all those HTC Sense users out there. HTC has been looking at how to bring it's latest Sense 3.0 UI to some of its older and still very capable devices. According to this little note posted through facebook:
"There are aspects of the latest HTC Sense that won't work on some of our previous devices. We are working to incorporate other aspects that will"
That means that such devices as the EVO 4G and Desire HD, might just get an update with some new Sense in it at some point. It all makes a lot of "sense" really. We have seen some ROM's come from the xda-developers lately that are running very stable and fast using elements of the new Sense 3.0. Even on the MyTouch 4G, as our boss Simon showed us not long ago.
No matter which way you look at it, if they manage to get some UI elements implemented into some of their previous device it will be good news for everyone.

March 27, 2000
SEATTLE - The Washington football team returns 57 lettermen, including eight offensive starters, seven defensive starters and both kicking specialists, as the team prepares for the 2000 season with its annual spring practice session. Like most other teams in the nation, the Huskies have a typical checklist of things to accomplish this spring:
"I like the way this team works," says Neuheisel, who guided the Huskies to a 7-5 record and an appearance in the Holiday Bowl last season. "I like the fact that they like each other. The most important thing is that we don't get to the place where we think we are there, because we aren't there.
"I don't want to lose the urgency that got us to be a good team. Not a great team, but a good team. We're not physically that much better than we were a year ago. We feel better about ourselves and there's more excitement in the air about Husky football, but that's a trap if we're not careful. We have to be urgent. I don't want to say we're comfortable now and everything is normal, because we need to be primed to go to war. However you're motivated to do that, you better have some urgency about it, and that's the key. As we get ready to go, that's the biggest message I'm going to get across to these kids: 'Don't think we've accomplished anything.'"
Based upon the results of the team's off-season conditioning program, the Huskies are not resting on their laurels. Picked to finish sixth in the official Pac-10 media poll last fall, and as low as eighth in some preseason publications, Washington instead turned in a 6-2 league mark and placed second in the conference. An overtime loss to UCLA in the second-to-last game of the year cost the Huskies a chance at a berth in the Rose Bowl. Heavy underdogs in its Holiday Bowl matchup with No. 7 Kansas State, Washington proved to be a tougher-than-expected foe, falling 24-20.
"We have a lot of work to do," Neuheisel says. "We have a great schedule ahead of us with a lot of competitive teams. We know who we are, if we coach well and the players play hard. If we set the standard of how we play in the fourth quarter we are going to have an excit-ing time and be in the race again in Novem-ber."
This spring session should be much more productive than a year ago when Neuheisel and his staff had barely been on the UW campus three months.
"We will have the opportunity to get more out of our spring because we won't have to evaluate as much as we did a year ago," he says. "Certainly, this is a time for kids to earn jobs and to earn positions on the team, but we'll know who we are as an offense and who we are as a defense, at least, a great deal more than we did a year ago.
"Schematically, we are much more in touch with what we can do with the personnel we have than we were a year ago. We'll get off to a much quicker start knowing those things. The average person in the stands will not notice a lot of difference in what we finished our season doing a year ago, but there are subtle changes and things we think will help us be a better team in 2000."
Departed Players
Gone from the 1999 team are 21 letterwinnners, including three offensive and four defensive starters. Those seven players combined to start 168 games during their careers.
On offense the Huskies will have to replace two of the most productive receivers in recent history in flanker Gerald Harris and slot back Dane Looker.
Harris was second on the team in 1999 with 37 receptions, totaling a team-high 571 yards. Despite missing two games due to a thigh injury, Harris tied for the team lead in touchdown receptions (four) and led Washington in average receiving yards per game (63.4). Harris missed two seasons due to injury, but failed to be granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA during the off season. He completed his career with 68 catches for 935 yards and eight scores.
Looker only played two years at Washington after a two-year basketball career at Western Washington. He caught 84 passes for 949 yards and five touchdowns during his Husky playing days. A reliable receiver, especially in short-yardage situations, he at one time had a string of 16 consecutive games with a reception.
A second-team All-Pac-10 honoree in 1999, Kurth Connell will be absent from the offensive tackle position. A powerful run blocker, he helped the Huskies finish second in the league in rushing at 189.7 yards per game.
The Husky defense took the heaviest graduation losses of any unit on the team. Gone from last year's squad are defensive end Mac Tuiaea, defensive tackle Jabari Issa and backup nose tackle Toalei Mulitauaopele. Tuiaea was a rare four-year starter on the defensive line, starting 39 of the 43 games he appeared in. He registered 21 tackles in 1999 and finished his career with 28.5 tackles for loss and 16 sacks.
Issa, a first-team All-Pac-10 pick in 1998, was a three-year starter on the defensive line and a team captain in 1999. He had 29 tackles last season and racked up 26 tackles for loss and 11 sacks during his Husky tenure. Mulitauaopele made tremendous strides during his senior season, appearing in all 12 games and starting four times while Tuiaea was sidelined 2 with an injury. His vo-cal leadership in team meetings and on the sidelines will be hard to replace.
Equally hard to re-place will be inside linebacker Lester Towns and cornerback Jermaine Smith. Towns was synonymous with the linebacker spot the past three years. He was second on the team in tackles as a senior, totaling 69 to finish his career with 259. He ranks seventh on Washington's all-time list for tackles for loss with 39.5. Smith was a skilled cover-age player who started the past four years. He broke up 25 passes during his career and added three interceptions as a senior.
In addition to the starters who completed their playing careers, Wash-ington also loses backup receiver/kick returner Joe Jarzynka, backup tight end Anthony Mizin and reserve inside linebacker Marques Hairston and safety Renard Edwards.
OffenseThe Husky offense generated a tremendous amount of excitement in 1999 when Washington's coaching staff added the option to its play lineup. Behind quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo, the Huskies showed off a multi-faceted offense that was difficult to defend. In fact, turnovers and injuries did more to slow the Huskies than anything else.
With eight starters returning, Washington figures to be more of the same in 2000. The one significant change will be the play calling where Keith Gilbertson returns to the offensive coordinator position at Washington after coaching the offensive line last year. Gilbertson, who directed the Husky offense in 1991 when Washington won the national championship, takes over for Karl Dorrell, who accepted a position with the Denver Broncos in March.
QuarterbacksGilbertson inherits one of the most gifted collegiate players in Tuiasosopo. For outsiders, it is his feet and hands that make Tuiasosopo such an extraordinary player. He has proved to be a very solid passer and comple-ments that with shifty and elusive running skills. To insiders, it is his heart that set the senior signalcaller apart.
Appropriately nicknamed "The Warrior" by ABC commentator Keith Jackson, Tuiasosopo's intangibles as a team leader are what really set him apart. His command of the team on the field, along with the respect his teammates show him off the field, make him a special player. As a junior, he was elected a team captain. Last year Tuiasosopo showed tremendous resolve with his back-to-back performances against Stanford and Arizona. After suffering a severely bruised backside on Washington's first series vs. Stanford he went on to become the first player in NCAA history to rush for 200 (207) yards and pass for 300 (302) yards in a game. The next week, still hobbled by the injury, he guided the Huskies to a come-from-behind win on the road at Arizona by passing for 208 yards. A second-team All-Pac-10 pick in 1999, he set a Washington single-season total offense record with 2,762 yards. He passed for 2,221 yards to rank as the fifth most productive season in Husky history. Tuiasosopo's pass completion percentage (.580) was the best mark among Pac-10 starting QBs. He rushed for 541 yards, the second best total on the team and a figure good enough to rank 10th in the Pac-10.
"I've said it all along, I think he's got all the tools to be a great quarterback," says Neuheisel, a former Rose Bowl MVP quarterback while playing at UCLA. "The one thing he lacks is experience. Having had a productive season a year ago, his experience meter is on the climb and I think that will correlate itself into an even more productive senior year. The sky is the limit for this guy and I know his teammates look up to him, not only because he is a very talented player, but also because of his work ethic. It's fortunate we have a team leader that is as well respected as Marques."
If Tuiasosopo has an area to concentrate on, it is his eagerness to create a play that sometimes resulted in a turnover.
"It's like anything, your strengths are always your weaknesses," Neuheisel says. "Because Marques is a playmaker and has such high confidence in his own ability, he's going to try and make a play. As he keeps becoming experienced, he'll learn when it's time to take the sack and we'll play defense and get the ball back. But, he often pulls himself out of those tackles and makes the huge plays. So, we can't really get too uptight about the down side of that, if we're going to accept the positive side. I just hope that experience will make him a year wiser."
Getting more experience for junior J.K. Scott and redshirt freshman Cody Pickett is high on Neuheisel's wish list for spring practice. Scott did not play in 1999 and Pickett only appeared for three series vs. Oregon State, but was granted a medical redshirt for the season due to a back injury.
"Getting them ready to play is pivotal," Neuheisel says. "We'll give them a lot of time, I'm not sure if it will be more. The quarterback position always gets a lot of reps during the spring especially when we only have three we are looking at. That's a pivotal competition and we need to know right away who will be the best fit for our offense."
Running BacksAnother hot spot of competition for playing time will come at tailback. Neuheisel decided to move junior Willie Hurst to slot back to fill Looker's vacated position. While that moves the leading rusher from the 1999 season out of the backfield, Hurst's playing time was limited in the second half of the season due to injuries and the improved play of Maurice Shaw at the position. Shaw figures as the top back entering spring drills. At 6-1 and 220 pounds he is a powerful runner, who rushed for 440 yards in nine games last season. He tied Tuiasosopo for the team lead in rushing touchdowns with six.
Complementing Shaw's punishing running style is 6-1, 200- pound sophomore Paul Arnold. One of six true freshmen to see playing time in 1999, Arnold showed plenty of promise in his limited role while adapting to the college 3 game. He averaged a team-high 6.3 yards per carry on 40 attempts. He displayed breakaway speed with an 80-yard scoring run against Washing-ton State and a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Air Force. Arnold should carry an additional 10 to 15 pounds for the 2000 season after entering last fall's camp slightly on the light side after a summer of track competition.
Also returning to the backfield is junior Braxton Cleman (6-1, 215). He was establishing himself as the Huskies' top ground gainer before suffering a partially collapsed lung in UW's loss to Arizona State that kept him out of action for the remainder of the regular season. Cleman was averaging 5.3 yards per rush before the injury, including a 100-yard effort against Air Force. Sophomores Jelani Harrison (6-1, 210) and Matthias Wilson (5-11, 215) are also ready to make their first contributions. Harrison has sat out most of the past two years due to a nerve problem in his back. The position promises to be one of the most interesting during the spring. Who will emerge as the top back?
"I think competition is the best way to answer that," Neuheisel says. "We are going to watch how it unfolds and we know what we've got. We'll see how Paul develops. Mo Shaw was very consistent as a ball carrier last year. Although he doesn't necessarily give you the big play, his running against Stanford showed he is capable of that. Best of all, he is very secure with the ball. Those two kids are exciting. Braxton Cleman, who was having a good year, got hurt, so we don't really know how he'll contribute this season. We're going to take a look at Willie Hurst as a receiver so we can spend more time evaluating those other guys. We'll just have to wait to see how it unfolds."
The fullback position, almost an afterthought in the college game with so many one-back and spread offenses, figures to be a strong area for the Huskies. Senior Pat Conniff (6-1, 245), returns after ending the 1999 campaign on a high note with his performance against Kansas State in the Holiday Bowl. He rushed for 15 yards and one score, but more importantly, caught four passes for 57 yards against an aggressive Wildcat defense. Junior college transfer Albert Tuipulotu (6-1, 245), who originally enrolled at Washington in 1997, will give the Huskies a solid backup at the position. Junior John Hart (6-1, 235) has also lettered at the position.
"Defenses are like offenses," Neuheisel says. "It is important for us, as we look at our offense, that it has the weapons to counteract those defenses that are designed to stop Marques or the option. The emergence of our fullback position is an answer. Our fullback is becoming a threat in our offense both as a pass receiver and a ball carrier. The emergence of our tailbacks is key to next season, and we think that's a big one-two punch with Mo Shaw and Paul Arnold. Competition will see if there is another name involved and we are a little bit more multi-faceted that we were a year ago."
Offensive LinemenAnother key component to the resurgence in the Husky rushing game was the rapid development of Washington's offensive line. Four starters, and a key reserve return from last year's unit, which might rank as one of the best in the nation.
Headlining the offensive line is senior Chad Ward (6-5, 330). A two-year starter at offensive guard, Ward will see some playing time at offensive tackle during spring drills. A second-team All-Pac-10 pick in 1999, Ward's strength and blocking skills could merit his consideration for national honors in 2000.
"Moving Chad is a thought, but nothing is in concrete yet," Neuheisel. "We're just trying to get our best five guys on the field. He is an unusual athlete, in that he weighs 335 pounds, and he runs a sub 5.1 40-yard dash. He bench presses over 500, he cleans over 400. These are all numbers that have NFL scouts' tongues hanging out and now he's just got to have that same production on the field. He is certainly a capable player and I'm hoping he has a great senior year. He loves to play the game and it shows with the attitude he brings to our practices and games."
Joining Ward as returning starters on the offensive line are junior center Kyle Benn (6-3, 305), senior left tackle Elliot Silvers (6-6, 305) and senior left guard Rock Nelson (6-5, 290). Senior guard Dominic Daste (6-3, 320) started five times during the 1999 season when Nelson was slowed by a neck injury. His decision to return for a fifth season of play, despite being hampered by a painful ankle injury, provides a huge boost to the entire unit. With Ward's trial run at tackle, senior Matt Fraize (6-4, 300) assumes the right guard position. He has alternated between guard and center during his career and brings plenty of experience to the position despite his lack of starting assignments.
A year ago the offensive line figured as the most challenging position for the Huskies, especially due to a lack of depth at most every position. This year, it is probably one of the deepest areas on the team. In addition to the four returning starters and Daste and Fraize, backup senior tackle Wes Call (6-7, 305) and reserve sophomore guard Elliott Zajac (6-4, 305) have seen considerable playing time. Call, a junior college transfer with one year of eligibility remaining, may redshirt the 2000 season. Matt Rogers (6-5, 290), a senior transfer from Iowa, will see his only time as a Husky this year. Three redshirt freshmen, tackle Nick Newton (6-5, 315), center Todd Bachert (6-4, 305) and walkon guard Jason Simonson (6-4, 310) are also going to be put into a rotation to see playing time.
"Our offensive line is a strength on our team right now," Neuheisel says. "I hesitate to say they are the best around, although I think they can be because what caused them to come together and be as productive as they were a year ago was that urgency. Maybe we don't have the most talent, so we have to play harder. We can't lose that. We look at our offensive line, with four starters returning, we've got Matt Rogers, who's got a chance to provide depth there. We've got Dom Daste, Nick Newton in the wings, we've got Wes Call, who played when Kurth got hurt last year. A year ago, we were wondering whom our seven best guys were. We've got depth this year and hopefully can maintain it. We'll just have to stay healthy."
Tight EndsComplementing the play of the offensive line is Washington's outstanding staple of young tight ends. After being named a second-team freshman All-American last season, Jerramy Stevens (6-7, 240) returns as the incumbent at the position. Last season he caught 21 passes and tied for the team lead with four touchdowns. His reception total was the most ever by a Husky freshman tight end.
Playing behind Stevens is sophomore Kevin Ware (6-2, 260), who played as a true freshman in 1999. Ware only had one reception in eight games, but he has strength to be an effective blocker in two tight end sets and should show more progress as a receiver this year. Senior John Westra (6-5, 250) will return next season after suffering a knee injury in 1999, but he is expected to see only limited practice time this spring.
"I think Jerramy Stevens' upside is huge," Neuheisel says. "He is becoming a force as a receiver and we need to use that to our advantage. It's important now that he becomes a force as a blocker and to do that, he's got to spend a lot of time in the weight room. He has to continue to work on all the little things that fundamentally will make him a better player. We're hopeful that we can get a lot out of Kevin Ware. He is the gifted person who experienced some of the typical transitions a freshman experiences in his first year at college. Hopefully, he can get out of that this season and fit into the mix of our offense."
Wide ReceiversAlthough the Huskies lost two wide receivers to graduation, last year's top pass catcher, junior split end Chris Juergens (6-3, 210) returns. His classmate, Todd Elstrom (6-3, 200), will move over to flanker after seeing the majority of his playing time as the backup to Looker at slot back last season. Hurst's move from tailback will fill that position.
Developing depth and adding speed to the position are the focus in the spring. Juergens topped all of Washington's pass catchers with 42 receptions in 1999. He averaged 12.3 yards per catch, but managed just one touch-down during the season. He appeared in just over nine games due to an sprained ankle he suffered against Arizona. At 6-3, Juergens has proved to be a good target for Tuiasosopo and he knows how to use his size to his advantage in the air.
Like Juergens, Elstrom is also 6-3. While not as experienced, he has showed a knack for big plays in his first two seasons. Last year he pulled down a short pass and turned it into an 83-yard scoring play against California. He finished the season with 11 catches for 234 yards and two scores. Elstrom may also see playing time at slot back.
Of Washington's other returning receivers, only one, Manuel Austin (6- 1, 185) made a reception in a game last season. The most likely candidates to see playing time are sophomores Quentin Morgan (6-0, 185) and Wilbur Hooks (6-0, 185). Patrick Reddick (5-9, 190) may return to the lineup at slot back after missing the 1999 season while recovering from a knee injury.
"The wide receiver position is a question mark," Neuheisel admits. "Chris Juergens started the season off going gangbusters, but had a bad knee and had an ankle injury at Cal. He wasn't the same guy at the end of the season. He has not had a great off-season due to the knee surgery. Elstrom is the most productive guy coming back and certainly we are hopeful he will continue to make the big plays he did a year ago. We have a bevy of young players who need to emerge because we need to have big play players at that position, which we haven't had in a long time, although Gerald Harris and Dane Looker have done good things for us. There hasn't been a lot of consistency at that position, so hopefully we will develop that this season."
DefenseThe Husky defense features seven returning starters, including three members of a much-improved secondary from last season. The coach-ing staff will experiment with moving several individuals to new positions this spring in an attempt to get the best combination of players onto the field and into backup positions. Washington needs to fill two spots on the defensive line, one inside linebacker position and one cornerback assignment. There are a solid number of players who saw action last season, along with several returning injured vet-erans, to make the defense a very competitive area this spring. A chief concern is shoring up the rushing defense and putting more pressure on opponent quarterbacks. Last season Washing-ton finished last in the Pac-10 with 13 sacks. However, the defense ranked in the middle of the conference in pass defense, rushing defense and total defense.
Defensive LineOnly junior Larry Tripplett (6-2, 295) returns from the top four interior defensive linemen last season. A nose tackle for most of the season, he also played a defensive tackle spot due to an injury to Tuiaea. This year Tripplett is expected to start spring drills at tackle. As a sophomore he had a solid debut as a starter. He earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors while racking up 35 tackles and six tackles for loss. His tackle total was the highest among the defensive linemen. Sophomore Ossim Hatem (6-3, 255) figures to be Tripplett's backup at defensive tackle. He saw enough playing time in 1999 to letter, but recorded only one tackle.
Sophomore Spencer Marona (6-2, 265) is the most likely player to fill the nose tackle position. He appeared in all 12 games last season at both nose and defensive tackle.
True freshman Jerome Stevens (6-2, 290), who enrolled at the UW in January, is a solid figure who will participate in spring drills and is expected to play this fall.
Senior Ryan Julian (6-2, 275) is the most experienced player returning at defensive end. After missing the 1999 season due to tendentious in his knee, he could work his way into a starting role if he does not suf-fering any reoccurring medical problems. In 1998 he started twice at the position and made six tackles in a game against UCLA.
Junior Nick Feigner (6-4, 255) is also returning this spring after missing a portion of the 1999 season due to a sore back. Junior Joe Collier (6-7, 260), is a converted offensive lineman who will be given a look at defensive end. Senior Roger Faagata (6- 4, 250) is another veteran who will compete for time at the position.
Junior college transfer Marcus Robertson (6- 4, 285) is one highly-touted recruit the Huskies hope can immediately contribute on the defensive line when he joins the team this fall. Senior Jeremiah Pharms (6-2, 260) returns to man the one outside linebacker spot that lines up in a down position. Pharms has the speed and quickness to have an outstanding senior season. A two-year starter, he finished the 1999 campaign with 49 tackles, led the Husky defense with 10 tackles for loss and tied for the team lead with two sacks. He will have to improve his ability to pres-sure the quarterback for the Husky defensive line to reach its potential.
"Jeremiah Pharms has a unique intensity for this game," Neuheisel says. "For him to be produc-tive we need to let him go. While we're playing a 3-4 front, I would envision him having his hand down at least a great majority of the time so we can come off the edge with some ferocity and go after the quarterback and get a pass rush that was not consistent last year."
Junior Jamaun Willis (6-2, 240), an inside linebacker and part-time fullback for the first two years of his UW career, may move to the outside position. Willis could give the Huskies more speed and athleticism at the position.
Sophomore Geoff Shelton (6-4, 240) saw action in 11 games last year and could factor into more playing time if he can improve his size and strength. Senior Odell George (6-2, 245) returned to off-season workouts this year after being out of the lineup since the end of the 1998 season due to a knee injury. Sophomore Houdini Jackson (6-1, 250) will make his Husky debut this year after sitting out the 1999 season as a transfer from Hawaii, where he was a starting outside linebacker.
"Larry Tripplett has got to be a defensive force on the front," Neuheisel says. "Of all of them, we are hoping Spencer Marona, Ryan Julian, Marcus Roberson, our JC transfer, that those guys can come in and give us some quality minutes. There's also a chance we might move some of our other players into the front line. Jamaun Willis has been a quality player who might fit best on our depth chart. A year ago we moved Curtis Williams from tailback to safety and Anthony Vontoure from safety to corner and both of them have had quality playing time. So, we may have some tinkering to get our front to-gether because the graduation toll is heavy. The other guy who is interesting there is Jerome Stevens, who joined our program in January. He comes in as a 290- pound kid that can have an impact with us. Ossim Hatem is another name that deserves mention in there. We'll also have to see if Geoff Shelton is big enough to play in there."
LinebackerSenior Derrell Daniels (6-1, 215) is the in-cumbent at one of the inside linebacker positions. Last season he led the defense in tackles with 81 and had the second highest total of solo tackles with 46. He topped the Huskies in the Holiday Bowl with eight stops against Kansas State. Sophomore Derek Noble (6-2, 220) and senior Chris Waddell (6-1, 230) are two other returnees at the position.
In an attempt to fill the other vacated inside linebacker position, the Husky coaching staff will look to move junior Jafar Williams (6-0, 220) from the outside linebacker position where he was a starter in 1999. He was a steady player for Wash-ington, totaling 28 tackles. His move could give the Huskies their quickest combination of inside linebackers in a number of years. Redshirt freshman Tyler Krambrink (6-1, 210) and sophomore Ben Mahdavi (6-2, 235) are other players who will compete for playing time at the position. The move of Williams inside opens the door for junior Anthony Kelley (6- 2, 220) to take a more active role at outside linebacker. Last season Kelley seemed to find a way to be around the ball when he was on the field. His speed and athletic ability gives the Huskies an excellent pass rusher off of the edge of the line. Kelley finished the 1999 season with 22 tackles, including two sacks and four for lost yardage.
Sophomore Levi Madarieta (6-3, 210) has moved from safety to linebacker and will compete with junior Sam Blanche (6-1, 220) for time at the position. Madarieta started as a true freshman in 1999 and was a significant contributor on special teams. Blanche, who has also played the inside linebacker position, had a pair of tackles last season.
"There's a chance we might make some movement with Jafar," Neuheisel says. "We may look at him as an inside linebacker to see if has the ability to go inside-out from both ways and to use that great speed that he has. He looks like a prototype linebacker. Derrell Daniels could move over to inside middle linebacker. Anthony Kelley and Levi Madarieta could secure the back-up spots. We'll just have to wait and see how that all pans out."
Defensive BackWashington's secondary should be a strong spot for the Husky defense. In a conference like the Pac-10, with a number of outstanding passing quarterbacks and top-flight receivers, it is a necessity. Three starters return along with several experienced backups. The amount of talent and skill at the position may allow the Huskies to put more pressure on opponent quarterbacks. Last year's unit intercepted 14 passes after registering an all-time low of five in 1998.
Based upon his performance in 1999, junior cornerback Anthony Vontoure (6-1, 190) should get strong consideration for all-star honors. Last year he moved from safety to cornerback and promptly intercepted six passes, returning two for touchdowns. His interception total ranked him second in the Pac-10 and tied for seventh in the nation. A pulled hamstring late in the season slowed his play down the stretch and in the Holiday Bowl. Returning to play this season will be senior Toure Butler (5-9, 170). He sat out the 1999 season due to knee problems. He is now back to speed and participated in the Huskies' off-season conditioning program. Butler was a starting cornerback in 1998 who broke up nine passes and to-taled 52 tackles that season. Redshirt freshman Chris Massey (5-11, 170) should see his first playing time at the position.
Senior Roderick Green (5-11, 180), who was a part-time starter behind Vontoure last season, will push for Smith's vacated cornerback spot. A junior college transfer, he became an effective coverage back for Washington in 1999 as his confidence grew during the season. He accumulated 29 tackles during the season and added five more against Kansas State in the Holiday Bowl.
Juniors Omare Lowe (6-0, 200) and Lenny Haynes (5-9, 195) are a pair of two-year lettermen who also return to the defensive backfield. Lowe is the more experienced player and had 20 tackles, three pass defenses and one interception last year. Washington's returning starting safeties are one of the best duos in the nation. Junior Hakim Akbar (6-1, 205) moved from free safety to strong safety last fall and earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors. A former freshman All-American, he finished tied for second on the team with 69 tackles to go with six pass defenses and one interception. Akbar is an outstanding athlete, who recorded a 38.5-inch vertical jump, 350-pound bench press and 493-pound squad during the team's annual off-season testing day.
A first-year starter at free safety in 1999, Curtis Williams (5-10, 195) demonstrated that he could be one of the hardest hitting players on a college gridiron. He led the defense in solo tackles with 48 and tied Akbar for second on the team lead in total tackles with 69. He had a 13-tackle day against UCLA. Williams also had four pass defenses and recorded his first career interception.
Redshirt freshman Domynic Shaw (5-11, 200) and junior Nick Olszewski (5-10, 190) figure as the most prominent reserves at the safety position. True freshman Joey Thomas (6-1, 180) will also take part in spring practice and compete at the free safety spot.
"A year ago the defensive secondary was a real concern and yet we feel like we still need a great cover corner," Neuheisel says. "Losing Jermaine Smith is a big loss. Anthony Vontoure needs to be more consistent. Toure Butler hopes to return and hopefully we can get a lot out of him. Omare Lowe has got to have a big year. He's fast, he's big, he's got strong arms and he's got a chance to be a real gifted player. Roderick Green is a very solid player. And again, we are hoping that some freshmen can come in and help us."
Special TeamsThe Husky special teams return both kickers from last season. Sopho-more placekicker John Anderson (6-1, 185) earned freshman All-America honors thanks to his strong first-year showing. Anderson converted 13 of 18 field goals attempts and missed just one of his 35 PATs. He tied or set numerous Husky kicking records and had one of the best long-distance kicking seasons of any freshman in the college ranks. Anderson kicked a 56-yard field goal at UCLA to tie the UW school record after earlier booting a 50-yarder against the Bruins. He also had a 50-yarder earlier in the year against Oregon. He was twice honored as the Pac-10 special teams' player of the week. In the Holiday Bowl, he booted the longest field goal by a Husky player in postseason competition with a 47- yard kick.
"John Anderson was a great addition to the team," Neuheisel says. "I don't want to say it was a surprise, because he was great when he came in. From where he started on the opening day of camp, to the last scrim-mage at Evergreen, to hitting the 56-yarder at the Rose Bowl, it was just down right impressive. He's an impressive young man and we are going to enjoy watching him over the next three years."
Back for his third season as the Husky punter is senior Ryan Fleming (6-3, 180). Fleming ranked sixth in the Pac-10 last season with a 40.2 average. He tied the UW record with a 73-yard punt in the season opener at BYU. He saw 13 of his 50 punts downed inside the 20-yard-line. As a senior, the Husky coaches are looking for him to become more consistent, especially with his hang time. Fleming may take over the role as the holder on special teams this season. Both long snappers, Mahdavi and Zajac, are expected to return to those roles. With the graduation loss of Jarzynka, the Huskies will have to find a new punt and kickoff returner. Butler handled some of those duties in 1998 and Massey could join him in that area. Arnold, who was used as a kickoff returner in 1999, may continue that role depending on his development at tailback.
"It's possible that Paul Arnold returns kicks this year," Neuheisel says. "We want the ability to be explosive and there are some incoming freshmen who I am excited about watching. If the freshmen are ready to go, then they'll play. The bottom line is we want the best players on the field."
SummaryNeuheisel plans on an active 15-practice spring session with plenty of position trials that should fuel competition among players for starting assignments. Just like the request he has for his players, he also wants to maintain a sense of urgency to continue to develop the program.
"When you tinker, all the sudden you find out something might have a real chance and then you'll expand on that particular niche of your offense, like the option last year," he says. "That wasn't something we would have predicted, but because of its success, it grew and it might be a real big piece of our puzzle this particular year. Whether that actually happens, no one can predict as this time.
"Obviously, we are light years ahead in terms of knowing who we are, having some understanding of what our roles are, what our capabilities are and so forth. But, you can't automatically consider that as light years ahead of where we were a year ago from the talent standpoint. It's important we maintain the urgency that led us to seven victories last year and with that urgency, we've got to try and be even more successful this year. Without it, we'll have a hard time achieving the same things we did a year ago."

Where to Stay
Beijing offers accommodations of all types. The city center contains everything from high-end luxury hotels to budget hostels, and is located close to many of the city's attractions. Perhaps the best hotels are in Chaoyang, a center frequented by diplomats in an area close to the Central Business District and Sanlitun, the main nightlife center of Beijing. Many luxury hotels are also spas with traditional Chinese medicine treatments and masseuses and additional accommodations like pools and gyms.
Many hotels will overcharge guests unless you talk to them directly rather than reserving rooms indirectly.

Visitation Rights & Child Support:
How can I get visitation rights to see my daughter?
Ever since my daughter was born the mother of my child has always denied me from seeing my daughter.
It is without a doubt that she is my daughter. I signed the birth certificate as well.
We have both moved on with our lives, but I barely get to see or talk to my daughter she is 5 years old. I am fed up with the foolishness.
About 2 weeks ago the child support services served me papers and stated that I have 20 days to get in contact with them. I don't mind paying child support but I would like to see my baby as well. How would I go about getting visitation rights?
Answer to Florida Child Visitation QuestionDear Randy,
The best interests of the child(ren) is the primary consideration in the Parenting Plan. In creating the Parenting Plan, all circumstances between the parties, including the parties' historic relationship, domestic violence, and other factors must be taken into consideration.
This standard form does not include every possible issue that may be relevant to the facts of your case. The Parenting Plan should be as detailed as possible to address the time-sharing schedule.
Additional provisions should be added to address all of the relevant factors. The parties should give special consideration to the age and needs of each child.

About the Ticket Supplier: A.D. Players
A. D. Players, or After Dinner Players, was founded in 1967 by Jeannette Clift George. The troupe of part-time actors performed its first performance in 1968, and seven years later, in 1975, the Players created a Touring Company. In the late 1970s, the Players purchased the Grace theater building. Soon, the Touring Company was making an international performances, and the Players also established the Theater Arts Academy, originally providing drama classes to children. A. D. Players continued to grow through the early nineties, even expanding with the building of Saint Street Annex, which served as the new home for costume shop, Touring Company, rehearsal hall, and Theater Arts Academy. The company also started Houston's first year round children's theater at St. Luke's United Methodist Church Rotunda. In 1997, A. D. Players made their off-broadway debut of John His Story at Lamb's Theatre, New York City.
The future of A. D. Players is bright. In 2003, the company purchased over three aces of land in the Galleria area of Houston. The purchase of this land will enable A. D. Players to consolidate six current theater locations, including a 450-seat Mainstage Theater, a 300-seat Children's Theater, and a 150-seat Black Box Theater. This new facility, located in one of the top tourist destinations in Houston, will enable A. D. Players to continue serving the Houston community with its unique artistic signature of hope and faith.

We're not entirely sure how More Spies, Black Ties, and Mango Pies ($30) escaped our notice when it was released in 2009. Maybe we were too distracted by Cookin' With Coolio, which came out at the same time. We digress. The first cookbook is out of print, but you don't need it to enjoy this one. CIA families around the globe collaborated on the project, which means the book is full of yummy cuisine paired with a good dose of secret agent spy stories, from the humorous to the downright action-packed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) --More than two million adults in the U.S. have epilepsy; 150,000 more will develop the condition each year. Usually, medication can control seizures but about 30 percent of patients do not respond. Now, patients have a new treatment option that uses lasers to stop the seizures.
For eight years, 30-year-old Nicole Dehn couldn't drive. In 2005—she had a seizure while driving and lost her license.
"I was very, very depressed. I mean it's a huge let down," Nicole told Ivanhoe.
Nicole had her first epileptic seizure when she was just six months old and they got progressively worse. When medication failed, her only option was an invasive brain surgery that usually takes months to recover from.
"You actually remove a piece of the skull temporarily and then the surgeon has to go and physically remove or cut away the epileptic tissue," Jerry Shih, MD, Director, Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, Mayo Clinic, Florida, told Ivanhoe.
However, Nicole opted for a different type of procedure called laser thermal ablation. A small hole is made in the back of the head and a laser probe is inserted into the skull. Using MRI guidance, heat from the laser then destroys the tissue causing the seizures.
"We're very excited, she is excited, our patients have really all enjoyed having this option for them as a procedure," Dr. Shih said.
Eight months after her procedure, Nicole is back to driving, and has been seizure-free ever since.
"Having my license back now, everything has just totally changed, new doors, new opportunities," Nicole said.
The therapy is already FDA approved for treatment of tumors in other parts of the body such as the liver and kidney, but only recently has it been available for the brain.
About 14 patients have undergone this treatment to date at the mayo clinic. And researchers say that so far their first five patients all had positive results which included shorter recovery times, decreased number of seizures, and possibly less cost than the standard surgery.
The research is ongoing, but Dr. Shih hopes that one day the laser thermal ablation will be the standard of care for epileptic patients. MORE.

Lawyer for hit-and-run suspect: The victim was at fault, not my client
SAN DIEGO - Robert Fisher lost his life on the very streets he lived on. In January, his body was covered up with a yellow tarp on Jamacha Boulevard.
In the days that followed police labeled Hector Hoyt, a former SDG&E worker, a hit-and-run driver.
Hoyt was in court on Tuesday to work out details in his case. Afterwards his attorney, Russell Robinson, talked only to 10News about what he says really happened that night.
Robinson opened up about his client and how many people wrote in on his behalf, sharing stories about how he would often work on his own time to help people.
"One of the letters that came in that got me, and I'm getting tingly right now, is that one person said that he is amazed that working with Hector Hoyt, how much time Hector Hoyt had spent helping homeless people," Robinson said.
He said Hoyt is known to help – not hurt – people who are homeless.
But, investigators say Hoyt was off duty in a work truck when he hit Fisher and left him to die.
Robinson said Hoyt didn't know what he had hit. He went on to say the second page of the traffic report is revealing and pointed to Fisher as being at fault.
"Mr. Fisher was somewhat famous among the homeless people for just jumping out and running out in the street," Robinson said of the investigation.
Fisher's stepson said he didn't deserve to be left in the street like an animal.
Robinson now says Hoyt went back to the area with his emergency lights on… but wouldn't go into detail.
For the first time we are learning why Hoyt may have been out that night.
"Mr. Hoyt was on his way to get an Arby's sandwich for his girlfriend," Robinson explained.
Then came the question of alcohol because, according to court documents, Hoyt pleaded guilty to DUI back in 2005.
The defense seems to think it was a factor, but Robinson said it wasn't Hoyt who had been drinking. He said it was Fisher who had a .21-.25 blood alcohol level and drugs in his system when he actually ran into Hoyt's truck.
Hoyt was at the courthouse with his son, who was involved in a deadly bus crash in April, and credited for heroic actions that saved the lives of fellow students.
Hoyt should be back in court in five weeks.

Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 1 of 12
Court is prepared to rule.
The Trustee sued Defendant to recover $87,339.49 that IGT owes Sports Associated
Transportation (Debtor).2 IGT responded with its counterclaim against Debtor for $408,788.32
and requested that this Court set-off the debts pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 553. IGT also asserted the
doctrine of recoupment. IGT timely filed the Motion for Summary Judgment presently before
this Court. For the reasons set forth below, the Motion is granted. Judgment shall be entered in
favor of Defendant IGT.
Findings of Fact
Defendant IGT manufactures and distributes gambling devices and related products.
IGT's manufacturing facility is located in Reno, Nevada. IGT's business model requires the
shipment of its products from its manufacturing facility to its customers and, in certain cases,
those products are returned to IGT. To accomplish this task, IGT entered into a Confidential
Transportation Agreement (Agreement)3 with Debtor in 2002. Pursuant to paragraph 2(b) of the
Agreement, Debtor agreed to "promptly and efficiently receive, transport and deliver safely and
with reasonable dispatch and without delay, the goods entrusted to it hereunder . . . ." In
addition to agreeing to transport IGT's goods, Debtor also agreed "not to interline or use other
motor carriers, or brokers, or to use 'substituted services' by rail for SHIPPER'S [IGT's] goods
without prior written agreement of SHIPPER."4 Throughout the Agreement, Debtor was
referred to as "CARRIER." Under the Agreement, Debtor is the carrier and not a broker.
2 Sports Associated Transportation is one of 11 debtors in this administratively consolidated case.

Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 2 of 12
Despite this explicit agreement, Debtor in fact acted as a broker. Throughout the course
of the contract, Debtor contracted with various carriers to transport IGT's products.5 The
carriers would then send their invoices to Debtor, who would add a broker's fee and forward the
invoices to IGT.
A third key provision of the Agreement covered indemnification. The provision states:
CARRIER shall at all times indemnify, defend and hold harmless
SHIPPER, its agents and employees against and from any and all settlements,
losses, damages, costs, counsel fees and all other expenses relating to or arising
from any and all claims of every nature or character (including, but without
limitations, claims for bodily injury, death and damage to property, clean-up costs
from commodity spills and damage to the environment) asserted against
SHIPPER (a) by any agent or employee of CARRIER or (b) by any other person.
The provisions of this paragraph shall survive cancellation, termination, or
expiration of this Agreement.6
By virtue of this provision, IGT seeks indemnification from Debtor.
Although Debtor operated as a broker instead of a carrier, the parties otherwise
performed in accordance with the contract from 2002 until sometime in 2011. According to
IGT, in the fall of 2011 various motor carriers (Carriers) contacted IGT seeking payment for
freight charges that Debtor had failed to pay. Debtor had failed to pay these Carriers even
though IGT had already paid Debtor. Once IGT learned that Debtor was not paying the Carriers,
IGT stopped paying Debtor. Even though Debtor had stopped paying most of the carriers at this
time, it still paid a few of them.7 The Trustee initiated this adversary proceeding to recover the
5 Debtor asserts that in some cases it did act as a carrier pursuant to the contract. Regardless, the shipments
for which Debtor may have been the carrier are not at issue here.
6 Doc. 7, Ex. A ¶ 5 at 4.
7 It is not clear whether Debtor paid these Carriers; however, because IGT does not contest for purposes of
this motion that Debtor did pay the Carriers, the Court will treat the claim as if Debtor is owed $87,339.49. If
Debtor did not pay the Carriers, which seems likely based on the evidence, Debtor would only be entitled to the
broker's fee and not the entire amount of the invoice. By not contesting the amount of the debt, IGT is giving up a
potentially legitimate claim against the estate.

13.09.24 Redmond v IGT SJ Order.wpd
Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 3 of 12
$87,339.49 from the outstanding invoices that IGT did not pay.
As to the shipments for which Debtor did not pay the Carriers, those Carriers turned to
IGT for payment. The Carriers' claims against IGT totaled $693,743.92. IGT paid $408,788.32
to settle them. Because IGT had to pay the cost of these shipments twice, once to Debtor and
once to the Carriers directly, IGT has a claim against the estate for $408,788.32 for breach of
contract and for indemnification. IGT concedes that it owes the Debtor $87,339.49 and asks this
Court to set off that amount against IGT's claim.
Debtor does not dispute that it did not pay the above carrier charges even though IGT
provided Debtor the funds to pay them. Instead, Debtor alleges that IGT had no obligation to
pay the Carriers directly and therefore Debtor is not required to indemnify IGT.
Conclusions of Law
A. Summary Judgment Standard
Summary judgment is appropriate if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as
to any material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.8 The moving
party bears the initial burden of demonstrating, by reference to pleadings, depositions, answers to
interrogatories, admissions, and affidavits, the absence of genuine issues of material fact.9 In
making this determination, the Court draws all reasonable inferences in favor of the non-moving
party.10 Once a properly supported summary judgment motion is filed, the opposing party "must
respond with specific facts showing the existence of a genuine factual issue to be tried" and

Defendant IGT moved for summary judgment. For the reasons set forth below, IGT has
satisfied its burden as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7056.
B. Debtor's Claims Against IGT
Debtor asserts that IGT owes it $87,339.49 pursuant to the Agreement. This claim arises
from IGT's refusal to pay the invoices sent by Debtor to IGT. IGT does not contest for purposes
of this motion that Debtor paid the invoiced charges directly to the Carriers. Because the
Agreement required IGT to pay the Debtor, the Court finds that IGT owes Debtor $87,339.49.
C. IGT's Claims Against Debtor
IGT asserts that it has a claim against the estate for $408,788.32. The issue is whether
IGT was required to settle the claims with the Carriers or whether only the Debtor was liable to
the Carriers and therefore the claim should be disallowed. Both parties agree that the majority
view, as outlined in Oak Harbor Freight Lines, Inc. v. Sears Roebuck & Co., 12 generally places
liability on the shipper in cases such as this one. However, Debtor argues that the facts here
present an exception to the general rule, and therefore IGT has a legal defense that precludes
IGT from being liable to the Carriers. Debtor claims that because IGT signed the non-recourse
provision on at least some of the bills of lading, IGT is not entitled to claim the entire
$408,788.32 against the estate. The Court finds that Illinios Steel Co. v. Baltimore & O. R. Co.13
precludes this defense and that IGT was liable to the Carriers. Summary judgment in favor of

Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 5 of 12
IGT is appropriate on this issue.
1. Shipping Contracts
Shipping contracts often involve two agreements that operate in tandem. These are the
shipping agreement and the bill of lading. The shipping agreement governs the rights and
obligations between a shipper and a carrier over the course of multiple transactions. The bill of
lading, on the other hand, only controls the shipment of the goods described on its face. The bill
of lading "is the basic transportation contract between the shipper-consignor and the carrier; its
terms and conditions bind the shipper and all connecting carriers."14 Although it is often the case
that the shipper and carrier are the parties to both the shipping agreement and the bill of lading,
when there is a third party broker involved, the coordination of these agreements is less clear. In
this case, the dispute is between IGT and the Carriers, so the shipping agreement has only a
minor role, which the Court will discuss in section C.3, infra.
2. The Bill of Lading
The Trustee's argument arises from two conflicting provisions within the bills of lading
signed by IGT and the Carriers. These are the "prepaid" and "nonrecourse"15 provisions. A bill
of lading marked "prepaid" signifies that the charges for transportation service rendered at the
request of a consignor (shipper) will be paid by the consignor. All of the shipments from IGT to
its customers were prepaid shipments. The alternative provision is a collect shipment. In a
14 Oak Harbor, 513 F.3d at 953 (quoting S. Pac. Transp. Co. v. Commercial Metals Co., 456 U.S. 336, 342
15 The "Straight Bill of Lading" signed by IGT (Doc. 10, Ex. 2) provides, "Subject to section 7 of the
conditions, if this shipment is to be delivered to the consignee without recourse on the consignor, the consignor shall
sign the following statement: The carrier shall not make delivery of this shipment without payment and other lawful
charges." IGT presented an alternative bill of lading with more favorable language for IGT. However, since IGT is
unable to show that its bill of lading was actually used in any of the shipments, the Court will only look to the
language from the bill of lading provided by Debtor. IGT would prevail regardless of which language was used.

13.09.24 Redmond v IGT SJ Order.wpd
Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 6 of 12
collect shipment, the consignee (the person receiving the shipment) is primarily liable for
payment at the time of delivery. The default conditions of a standard bill of lading are
summarized as follows:
The bill of lading provides that the owner or consignee shall pay the freight
and all other lawful charges upon the transported property and that the consignor
remains liable to the carrier for all lawful charges. The bill of lading, however, also
contains "nonrecourse" and "prepaid" provisions that, if marked by the parties,
release the consignor and consignee from liability for the freight charges. If the
nonrecourse clause is signed by the consignor and no provision is made for the
payment of freight, delivery of the shipment to the consignee relieves the consignor
of liability. Similarly, when the prepaid provision on the bill of lading has been
marked and the consignee has already paid its bill to the consignor, the consignee is
not liable to the carrier for payment of the freight charges.16
Here, the shipment charges that IGT settled with the Carriers were for prepaid shipments.
On some of these shipments, the nonrecourse provision was also signed by IGT. According to
the Trustee, by signing the nonrecourse provision, IGT insulated itself from liability once the
Carriers delivered the shipments. The issue is what happens when both the prepaid and
nonrecourse provisions are checked on the same bill of lading. IGT argues that the nonrecourse
provision only applies to collect shipments and that it would be "logically irrelevant" to uphold a
signed nonrecourse provision in a prepaid shipment. However, both the Illinois Steel case and
the fact that IGT signed the nonrecourse provision on prepaid bills of lading indicate that the two
provisions should be read together.
In Illinois Steel, the Supreme Court considered the relationship between the prepaid and
nonrecourse provisions on a bill of lading. In that case, the shipper prepaid the freight charges,
but also signed the section 7 nonrecourse box. The carrier argued, just as IGT does here, that
16 C.A.R. Transp. Brokerage Co., Inc. v. Darden Restaurants, Inc., 213 F.3d 474, 478-79 (9th Cir. 2000)
(citations omitted).
- 7
13.09.24 Redmond v IGT SJ Order.wpd
Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 7 of 12
"liability was imposed [by the lower court] on the consignor only because the prepayment clause
was so in conflict with the non-recourse clause as to nullify the latter and thus revive the
obligation which, in the absence of that clause, rests on the consignor to pay all lawful charges"
on the shipments.17
The Supreme Court disagreed and said, "[W]e must assume that both clauses were
intended by the parties to have some effect, and hence, unless unavoidably in conflict, they must,
so far as they reasonably may, be reconciled so that each will have some scope for operation."18
To reconcile the two clauses, the Court held that the non-recourse provision only applied to the
charges beyond those already agreed upon by the parties.
The words of [section] 7 of the conditions of the bill of lading are to the
effect that if the consignor stipulates that the carrier shall not deliver "without
requiring payment of such charges" and the carrier makes delivery, the consignor
"shall not be liable for such charges." In this context, "such charges" are the lawful
charges which the consignor has not paid or stipulated to pay in advance.19
Here, there are no additional charges; instead, the dispute is over the shipper's liability
for the charges that it had agreed to pay. If the cost of the shipments had exceeded the agreed
upon amount, then the nonrecourse provision would apply and prevent the Carriers from seeking
payment from IGT of additional charges. Since there were no such additional charges, the
prepaid clause required IGT to pay the agreed amount.20
17 Illinois Steel, 320 U.S. at 513.
18 Id. at 513-14.
19 Id. at 514.
20 See also Jones Motor Co., Inc. v. Teledyne, Inc., 732 F. Supp. 490, 492 (D. Del. 1990) ("In other words,
the prepayment clause renders the shipper liable for the original transportation charges. The non-recourse clause
operates to shield the shipper from liability for the additional charges but not for the original charges it agreed to
prepay."). But see Gaines Motor Lines, Inc. v. Klaussner Furniture Indus., Inc., 2011 WL 1230811, at *1
(M.D.N.C. 2011) (granting summary judgment in favor of shipper because non-recourse clause meant the carriers
could only turn to the broker for payment).

Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 8 of 12
3. The Shipping Agreement
The second issue is whether the Debtor's role as broker renders the Illinois Steel analysis
inapplicable to IGT. In Illinois Steel, the prepayment of the shipment occurred before the carrier
delivered the shipment. Here, not only was the "prepayment" made by guarantee, but IGT as the
consigner did not have a separate contract with the Carriers. Instead, the "shipping agreement"
was between the Debtor and the Carriers. Although the law in this area is not settled, this Court
finds that the correct analysis requires the shipper to remain liable.
To support their respective positions, the parties both cite Oak Harbor Freight Lines, Inc.
v. Sears Roebuck & Co.21 In Oak Harbor, the Ninth Circuit considered whether the shipper,
Sears, was liable to the carrier even though it did not have an express agreement with the carrier
outside the prepaid bill of lading. As in the case sub judice, Sears entered into a contract with a
broker. The broker then contracted with carriers to ship Sears' products. Sears argued that when
a bill of lading is marked prepaid, but no payment is actually made at the time of the shipment
and the broker fails to pay, the carrier may pursue only the broker for breach of the shipping
agreement.22 In other words, by using a broker, Sears argued that it was insulated from liability
to the carrier. This argument did not prevail.
In Oak Harbor, the Ninth Circuit Court held that "a shipper should bear the risk when it
chooses to pay for freight charges through a broker rather than directly to the carrier."23 The
21 513 F.3d 949 (9th Cir. 2008).
22 Id. at 953. Sears paid the broker for freight charges within approximately five days after receipt of a bill
from the broker.
23 Id. at 959 (citing Hawkspere Shipping Co. Ltd. v. Intamex, S.A., 330 F.3d 225, 237-38 (4th Cir. 2003);
Strachan Shipping Co. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 701 F.2d 483, 489-90 (5th Cir. 1983); Nat'l Shipping Co. of Saudi
Arabia v. Omni Lines, Inc., 106 F.3d 1544, 1546-47 (11th Cir. 1997)).

13.09.24 Redmond v IGT SJ Order.wpd
Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 9 of 12
court reasoned, and this Court agrees, that this result best "comports with economic reality."24
The court noted:
A freight forwarder provides a service. He sells his expertise and
experience in booking and preparing cargo for shipment. He depends upon the
fees paid by both shipper and carrier. He has few assets, and he books amounts of
cargo far exceeding his net worth. Carriers must expect payment will come from
the shipper, although it may pass through the forwarder's hands.25
Additionally, the Oak Harbor court noted that "the shipper, and not the carrier, is in the
best position to avoid liability for double payment by dealing with a reputable freight forwarder,
by contracting with the carrier to eliminate the shipper's liability, or by simply paying the carrier
directly."26 This Court finds these arguments persuasive. Just because IGT checked the
"prepaid" box on the bills of lading, IGT cannot escape liability simply by contracting with a
Debtor argues that the nonrecourse provision in the bill of lading provides an exception
to the general rules of liability outlined in Illinois Steel and Oak Harbor. In Oak Harbor, the
court implied that the result would have been different had Sears signed the Section 7 box on the
bills of lading.27 However, this is only dicta. This Court will not speculate as to what the Oak
Harbor court might have found had the facts been different, especially in light of this Court's
interpretation of the Illinois Steel decision.
Because the statements in Oak Harbor are dicta, this Court does not find an exception to
24 513 F.3d at 959 (quoting Strachan Shipping Co. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 701 F.2d 483, 490 (5th Cir.
25 Id.
26 Id.
27 Id. at 960 (stating that "Sears generated the bills of lading and failed to protect itself with a 'nonrecourse'

13.09.24 Redmond v IGT SJ Order.wpd
Case 12-06078 Doc# 20 Filed 09/24/13 Page 10 of 12
the rule that the shipper remains liable, even though it contracted through a broker and signed the
nonrecourse clause. Moreover, the Agreement between IGT and Debtor listed Debtor as the
carrier. Debtor breached the Agreement by acting as a broker. Debtor is estopped from now
claiming that IGT's claim should fail because it contracted through a broker. IGT was correct
when it paid the Carriers.
D. Set-Off
IGT argues that the claim by Debtor should be set off against the larger claim by IGT.
The Court agrees. Section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code provides:
Except as otherwise provided in this section and in sections 362 and 363
of this title, this title does not affect any right of a creditor to offset a mutual debt
owing by such creditor to the debtor that arose before the commencement of the
case under this title against a claim of such creditor against the debtor that arose
before the commencement of the case . . . .
Based on the Court's findings, the claims by Debtor against IGT and the claims by IGT
against Debtor arose before the commencement of the case and were mutual debts preserved and
subject to setoff under § 553. Therefore, IGT is entitled to set off the claims by Debtor against
IGT's claims. IGT's allowed claim against the estate is the difference between $408,788.32 and
$87,339.49, or $321,448.83. Post-setoff, IGT has no liability to the estate. Since the issue of
setoff is resolved in IGT's favor, the Court does not address IGT's other argument under the
doctrine of recoupment.
E. Conclusion
For the reasons stated above, the Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is
GRANTED. A separate order of judgment shall be entered in favor of Defendant.

Why: It started as a side-of-the-road kind of thing, on a whim. It was 1996 and Kekoa Hunter, 43, figured he'd use the parking lot of his family's Eugene, Ore., auto parts store as a locale to serve up some of his Hawaiian fare. He cooked. Customers came. So, too, did the authorities, who busted him for skirting permits.
"It was supposed to be this casual thing," Hunter said, a Cheshire grin crossing his face.
The bust closed down his parking lot operations. But the customer success spurred him to open Hawaiian Time Cafe — this time with permits — in Eugene.
Fast forward and he's franchised six of the cafes now, with three in Eugene, and a restaurant each in Salem, Beaverton and in Portland's Pearl District.
Now Hunter and his 25-year-old son, Kawika Hunter, have brought non-franchise restaurants to Vancouver, where they both live. Kawika runs the restaurant and they have plans to open a second Hawaiian Time Cafe within a month.
Atmosphere: Tucked in the corner of a supermarket strip mall, this cafe looks like a number of chain-style restaurants from the outside. But inside, you get a Hawaiian vibe, with a surfboard and paddle stowed in the corner and island wares scattered about.
It's a walk-up experience, the kind of place where you order and pay at the counter and then find a table or take it out.
What I tried: I tried the Mauna Loa Chicken; my dining companion tried the Huli Huli Chicken.
Both dishes came in white Styrofoam to-go boxes, something that Kekoa Hunter later explained is considered traditional Hawaiian boxed-lunch style.
The Mauna Loa Chicken is offered from mild on up to the "Super Hawaiian," a fiery concoction, which the menu presents almost as a dare. I opted for medium, which kept my tongue plenty busy looking for cool-down spots. The dish comes with white rice and Hawaiian macaroni salad.
The Huli Huli Chicken is marinated in the cafe's teriyaki sauce and, like the Mauna Loa Chicken, comes with white rice and Hawaiian macaroni salad.
As my companion and I sat down with our meals, Kekoa Hunter stopped by our table. He guided our experience, saying that we "had" to drizzle teriyaki sauce over the macaroni salad and sprinkle our dishes with Furikake, a salt and seaweed seasoning.
I was dubious about teriyaki sauce on mac salad, as was my friend. And seaweed, to me, goes with sushi or a coastal trek — but not on my plate. To my surprise, though, it all worked. The sauce added an unexpected savory element to the salad and the sprinkle jazzed up the rice and chicken.
In a subsequent interview Kekoa Hunter explained that he often steers his customers toward sauces and spices to complement the dishes.
"The teriyaki's gotta go on the mac salad," Hunter said. "I say (to customers) 'Look, it's my food, just try it.'"
Other observations: This is a casual, come-as-you-are kind of place. You'll find both Hunters duded in Hawaiian shirts. During a recent lunch, the restaurant was empty for the first 10 minutes we arrived. But within 30 minutes, it was standing room only.
Menu highlights beyond what I tried: The Kalua Pig, a shredded pork dish sounds intriguing. Like the chicken dishes that we tried, it comes with white rice and macaroni salad.
Cost: Plan on $7 to $9 for a boxed lunch.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday.
Contact: 360-993-5306.
Where: 5000 E. Fourth Plain Blvd., Suite A101, Vancouver.
Health score: Hawaiian Time Cafe received a 0 for its March 2 inspection. Zero is a perfect score. Clark County Public Health closes restaurants that score 100 or higher. For information, call 360-397-8428.

SKILLMAN, N.J. (SMU) - Arturs Kazijevs and Mischa Nowicki have both been selected to compete in the qualifying round of the ITA All-American Championships, the ITA announced Friday. The pair will compete in doubles while Kazijevs will also try to advance in singles play. Qualifying begins Sept. 30 at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center at the University of Tulsa.
Both players were also ranked in the ITA preseason rankings. The duo is ranked 43rd in the nation in doubles and Kazijevs is 73rd in the singles rankings.
Kazijevs went 14-5 in singles in the spring, all at the No. 1 position. He had three wins against ranked opponents in the spring, defeating now-No. 118 Sudanwa Sitaram of 19th-ranked Texas in straight sets (Jan. 12), No. 34 Winston Lin of No. 32 Columbia in straight sets (March 19) and No. 41 Japie De Klerk of Tulsa in the Conference USA semifinals (April 20). De Klerk made it to the NCAA Semifinals and finished the season ranked 24th. He also beat No. 77 Mate Zsiga of 13th-ranked Baylor in straight sets in the fall (Oct. 20). The native of Riga, Latvia was named Conference USA Player of the Week on March 6. Kazijevs went 2-1 against C-USA foes, beating Joe Young of #63 Tulane (March 3) and Jonathan Chang of No. 73 Rice (April 14). He won six straight decisions (March 12 through April 3) and only lost once in his last 12 matches. Kazijevs also went unbeaten in 15 of his last 17 matches. He had nine wins against players on ranked teams and finished the season.
Nowicki and Kazijevs combined to be SMU's top doubles duo for the 2012-13 campaign, and went 12-6 in doubles in the spring, winning their last eight matches of the regular season (March 29 through April 14). The pair was ranked as high as 53rd in the nation (Feb. 12) and was ranked for a total of eight weeks during the spring. The duo defeated now-No. 81 Oliver Pramming and Ignacio Gonzalez of No. 65 South Florida (April 7) and No. 13 David Holiner and Chris Camillone of 23rd-ranked Texas. Holiner and Camillone would later advance all the way to the NCAA Doubles Championship match. They beat four doubles pairs of ranked teams and spent the whole spring in the No. 1 position. The pair helped SMU to a 30-22 record in doubles as a team and helped the Mustangs become ranked as high as 65th nationally.
For their efforts, both were given All-Conference USA recognition on April 30. Kazijevs made the First Team for singles, while the pair landed on the Second Team for doubles.
