Can-do Canning
If you've ever found yourself wishing that summerand incredible summer producecould last forever, home canning is for you. From pickles to preserves, there are endless opportunities for preserving that don't require much time, effort, or experience.
"People have this fear factor around canning," says Lauren Devine-Hager, Fresh Preserving Community manager at Jarden Home Brands (maker of Ball jars and canning products) in Daleville, Ind. "But it's not that hard." Her suggestion for overcoming any preserving panic? "Grab a friend," she says. In addition to helping with the prep and providing an extra set of hands, practicing with a pal makes any hobby more fun.
What You'll Need
Latex kitchen gloves (to protect your hands from heat and spills)
2 large stockpots
1 canning rack or round cake rack (the diameter of 1 stockpot)
Spatula or wooden spoon
Clean, damp towel or sponge
Clean, heat-proof canning jars with new lids
Safety First
For jars of pickles and preserves that will keep in the cupboard for months, follow these important steps every time you preserve.
Sterilize jars and lids: Place jars in large pot of simmering water, and place lids in small pot of simmering water, making sure they are completely submerged. Remove pot from heat, but make sure water stays hot and jars and lids are submerged ready to use. (Alternately, heat jars and lids in dishwasher on the rinse cycle.) Use tongs to remove jars and lids from hot water or hot dishwasher, and carefully shake dry.
Seal: Fill sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch space from the rim at the top (known as headspace). Wipe off any drips from around the edge with a clean, damp towel, then close lid.
Process in a boiling water bath: Place a canning rack or cake rack in bottom of large stockpot, and fill pot halfway with water. Stand filled and sealed jars on rack in pot, adding extra water, if necessary, to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring water to a rolling boil, and boil jars 10 minutes. Carefully remove jars from pot with tongs, and allow to cool before labeling and storing them.

I home can fresh fruits, vegetables and its really easy. Jams.jellies,pickles and most tomato items can be done in a hot water bath, while corn, beans, and other vegetables require a pressure canner. The newer pressure canners are safe and get you hooked on canning. And it saves me lots of money. Jars, rings can often be found free on local freecycle.org groups and the lids are inexpensive to buy at Walmart, Amazon etc. And its nice to know the food we eat is whole and healthy.Beth - 2012-08-01 02:29:13

Not bad, looks good, but needs some minor design changes
Reviewed By Marcus B (POWDER SPRINGS, GA) Reviewed for a 2016 Ford Transit —4/22/2016 7:32 PM
The fit is almost perfect for my van. However, it does not go all the way to the back doors for some reason. Not sure why they cut it a few inches short. Also, it is not as slip resistant as the simple, universal mats I had in my previous van. Although the surface is rough, I tried to step over something with wet sneaker shoes and accidentally performed an almost perfect leg split when my shoes slipped. That was surprising and embarrassing. The material under the surface is similar to styrofoam

I bought a well used 2008 Chevy Express cargo van. The inside was trashed, with rusted storage shelves and a nasty OEM flooring. I took out the shelves, repainted them . Removed the nasty floor mat and padding. Repainted the entire inside, painted the shelves. It looked pretty good. But when my new VanTred Cargo liner arrived, and I installed it. What a difference. It looked like a new van. With the work I did and the new cargo liner, I am sure I increased the value of my van.

A second flu shot is now due for some children, if this is the first season they've had the vaccination.
The health department says children between six months and 8 years old in that category should get two doses at least four weeks apart. Little ones who need the second shot, but don't get it, are vulnerable to contracting the flu. They are also more vulnerable to complications from the flu.
Four hundred and twenty-five people have been hospitalized for the flu in Colorado this season. Seven people have died, including two children.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity

Medicago and genome-engineering firm Cellectis plant sciences are collaborating on a project focused on using the latter's nuclease technology to improve the expression of therapeutic proteins in tobacco leaves.
Cellectis claims its nucleases enable the modification of protein glycosylation patterns in plants with extreme control and uniformity.
The technology can be applied to optimize protein characteristics including solubility, therapeutic half-life, tissue distribution, and protein interactions. The firm established its plant sciences subsidiary in 2010 to apply its technology specifically for plant engineering. The partnership with Medicago will harness nucleases to generate an array of specific glycoprotein variants, from which the best candidate will be selected for production using Medicago's plant-based manufacturing technology.
"We look forward to working with Cellectis plant sciences to assess their nuclease technology for use in our ongoing work to develop biosimilar products," says Louis-Philippe Vezina, CSO of Medicago. "This tool has the potential to hasten the expansion of our platform towards theproduction of a wider range of therapeutic proteins including biosimilars and complement our existing tools for the control of glycosylation."
Vaccines firm Medicago is exploiting its Proficia™production technology as an alternative to current egg-based and cell-based vaccine production systems. The platform uses whole living plants as a flexible vaccine and antibody production system. The firm's clinical pipeline includes vaccines against pandemic H5N1 and seasonal H1N1 influenza.

Hollande Set to Shake Up Cabinet After Election Defeat
French President Francois Hollande is set to reshuffle his cabinet after his Socialist Party was trounced in local elections and his government missed its 2013 deficit target.
Hollande will make a televised address tonight at 8pm Paris time, his office said. The president will name Interior Minister Manuel Valls as prime minister, Le Monde reported.
Voters punished the government for France's record joblessness as Socialist mayors in cities such as Toulouse, Limoges, Belfort, Reims and Albertville were ousted yesterday by former President Nicolas Sarkozy's UMP Party. The anti-euro National Front of Marine Le Pen also gained ground. The Socialists kept Paris, which accounts for about 10 percent of the national gross domestic product, with Anne Hidalgo becoming the capital's first female mayor.
"Let's not beat around the bush; last night was a night of defeat," Claude Bartolone, the Socialist head of the French national assembly, wrote on his blog today.
In what was seen as a referendum on Hollande's almost two years in power, the vote shows growing discontent as jobless claims climbed to a record of more than 3 million and the economy barely grew in two years. The electoral losses were compounded by a data release today showing that France's public deficit amounted to 4.3 percent of GDP last year instead of the 4.1 percent.
"A cabinet reshuffle looks increasingly inevitable," Antonio Barroso, an analyst at Teneo Intelligence in London, wrote in a note.
'Shock Treatment'
A Harris poll released last week said 78 percent of the French want Hollande to replace Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault. Among the possible candidates, 19 percent favor Valls, 13 percent want Lille Mayor Martine Aubry, and 10 percent opt for Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, according to the poll.
"Jean-Marc Ayrault may not be the only one responsible but the time has come for shock treatment," Socialist lawmaker Julien Dray said on Europe 1 radio. "The time has come to give the government a new profile."
Hollande's government has struggled to rekindle France's sluggish economy. In January, he unveiled a "Responsibility Pact," with cuts of 30 billion euros ($40 billion) from business charges and promised to squeeze government spending to cap unemployment that's at a 16-year high.
Ayrault said yesterday that the government "has not explained well enough its actions to get the country back on its feet." He said he was still "convinced that these difficult reforms will bear their fruit."
Local Governments
Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici today failed to confirm that France aims to reduce the deficit to 3.6 percent of GDP this year. The government will provide fresh fiscal projections to the European Commission by mid-April, he said.
"The 2014 budget deficit target is becoming more of a challenge, especially given the political context," said Dominique Barbet, an economist at BNP Paribas in Paris. "More measures will be required."
Incoming mayors may be among the first to feel the pinch. The national target was missed in large part because the shortfall by French local governments jumped to 9.2 billion euros from 3.7 billion euros a year earlier.
About 6,000 municipalities held run-off elections for city councils yesterday after a first round of voting a week ago in all of France's 36,000 towns.
Record Abstentions
Valls said yesterday that preliminary numbers showed the Socialists and their allies got 40.6 percent of the vote nationwide, while the UMP and their allies got 45.9 percent and Le Pen's National Front got 6.8 percent. He said 10 towns with populations of more than 100,000 swung from the left to the right.
A record 38.5 percent of registered voters abstained, according to estimates by TF1 television.
"The high abstention Sunday shows the failure of the left to mobilize its supporters," Frederic Dabi, deputy director general of polling company Ifop, said on i-Tele television.
Local elections generally go against the party in power, Dabi said, citing an election 10 years ago when the party of then President Jacques Chirac lost control of 24 of France's 26 regions.
'Strong Disappointment'
The UMP yesterday held on to the mayor's job in Marseille, France's third-largest city. The victories gave the party a breather from months of scandals and a leadership battle that have left it in disarray since Sarkozy lost the presidency in May 2012.
The Socialists had some victories, holding on to Metz, Rennes, Strasbourg, and Lille, and wresting control of Avignon.
The National Front won in Frejus and a candidate linked to the front won in Beziers. The party failed in Perpignan and Avignon, where it scored strongly in the first round.
The anti-immigrant party may not match its success in 1995, when Front candidates won mayoral elections in Toulon, Orange, and Marignane. None were re-elected.
The mayor-elect of Paris also urged Hollande to take note of the election results.
"There should be a very deep change in the government," Hidalgo said. The president "must take stock of the seriousness of the situation. There is a strong disappointment."

GREAT Calcium Product
Posted by Reviewer1928956 on Jan 13, 2013
I started taking these instead of other brands about 6 months ago, and my shoulder appears to be healing quite well. I had lots of pain in the muscles surrounding my right rotator cuff. This calcium combo has reduced spurs enough that my shoulder no longer hurts all the time and I have a much better range of motion. I'm sold on Deva Cal-Mag Plus! I had tried seven other brands over a period of several years, and this one finally worked. The price is decent, too. Good work, Deva!

Happy to have vegan vitamins and reasonable.
It seems to be effective
Posted by 5463635071052330866 on Apr 03, 2016
My symptoms matched those of osteomalacia, so I decided to get a vitamin D supplement (Now Foods' Vitamin D 1000 IU). To make sure it's as effective as possible, I also ordered this Deva supplement because there are certainly days when one isn't getting enough calcium from the diet unless every meal is well-planned. After taking these pills for nearly a month, I can say that I've gone from being almost unable to move and walk to being able to move like a normal person. I still can't really run, jump or do everything without supporting my body with the arms, but the improvements are huge compared to how I've lived for over 2 years!
Posted by 4956048264234609059 on Apr 08, 2016
Although I have stronger than average bones, my teeth aren't strong at all. I am finding taking these (2 at night) I am sleeping better (calcium helps relax you). No double blind studies, just from feel. More scientific....my blood tests are showing my calcium is at 2.31 mmol/L (2.10-2.60) and Corr Calcium is 2.29 mmol/L (2.10-2.60).

Oregon's Wolves Reach Milestone Recovery Mark By Courtney Flatt • Jan 28, 2015 Kasey Myers / Flickr Wolves in the eastern third of Oregon have reached a key milestone in the state's recovery program. Officials have confirmed seven breeding pairs. It's the third year in a row a healthy number of pups have survived. Those two indicators of a recovering wolf population trigger phase two in the state's wolf reintroduction plan. Oregon's wolf program coordinator Russ Morgan spoke Wednesday on Oregon Public Broadcasting's talk show, Think Out Loud. Morgan said one of the big takeaways is that ranchers can now kill wolves that are chasing livestock on their properties. Idaho Biologists Count Fewer Wolves But More Breeding Pairs By Jessica Robinson • Jan 22, 2015 Listen Listening... / Idaho biologists say the number of wolves is likely declining, but their count of breeding pairs of wolves -- a key number used to measure the health of the state's wolf population -- has actually gone up. Estimates Show Wolf Pairs In Idaho Nearing Minimum Requirement By Jessica Robinson • Jan 22, 2015 Denali National Park and Preserve Listen Listening... / 1:01 Idaho biologists say the state's wolf population likely continued its decline in 2014 -- and that may be because few of them are breeding. BLM Reverses Decision To Permit Wolf And Coyote Hunting Derby By Jessica Robinson • Nov 25, 2014 Listen Listening... / Federal land managers are rescinding a permit that would have allowed a competition to hunt wolves and coyotes in Idaho. Heavily Hunted Wolves Stressed Out And Mating More Frequently By Jessica Robinson • Nov 14, 2014 U.S. Fish & Wildlife / U.S. Fish & Wildlife A new study out of Canada revealed a surprising side effect that hunting may have on wolves. Researchers wanted to compare the hormone levels in wolves that often deal with hunters' fire, versus wolves that are hunted very little. They were able to measure levels of progesterone, testosterone, and the stress hormone cortisol by looking at samples of wolf hair from different parts of northern Canada. It turns out wolves in heavily hunted areas had higher levels of a stress hormone and higher reproductive hormones. So, they were stressed out and mating more frequently. Report Finds Idaho Hunting Derby Has Minimal Environmental Impacts By Jessica Robinson • Oct 1, 2014 Flickr Federal land managers in Idaho project minimal environmental damage from allowing a predator hunting derby to take place in the north-eastern part of the state. That's the finding of an environmental assessment released Wednesday. It's part of a controversy that started last winter when hunters competed to kill wolves and coyotes during a two-day event. The first predator derby attracted international attention, as well as online petitions, and even an undercover report in Vice magazine. Hunters competed for $1,000 prizes for the biggest wolf or most coyotes. Ketchum City Council Passes Resolution to Use Non-Lethal Tactics to Control Wolf Population By Jessica Robinson • Sep 16, 2014 U.S. Fish & Wildlife The resort town of Ketchum, Idaho is asking the state to back off on killing wolves. They say it's bad for business. Last night, the Ketchum City Council passed a resolution urging wildlife managers to use non-lethal tactics to control the wolf population. Listen Listening... / 1:06 Wolf Shot By State Was Alpha Female By Courtney Flatt • Sep 8, 2014 Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife The helicopter shooting of a wolf in northeastern Washington didn't go as planned. A sharp shooter took out the livestock-killing pack's alpha female. Officials worry that could lower the pack's chances of survival. Washington Sharpshooter Accidentally Kills Breeding Female By Max Bartlett • Sep 5, 2014 Serge Melki / Flickr KING 5 reports that a federal contractor hired to kill wolves hunting Washington sheep has accidentally killed the pack's alpha breeding female.

I wonder why the particle off is used in these verbs. I know their meanings, but I don't understand why off is used. Does anyone know why?

The off in those particular verb phrases is used as an adverb. The meaning I'll take from wikipedia:
So in the case of jerk off we're speaking of a jerking motion away from the ahem "object". Jack off is just a bowdlerized version of the phrase. Get off usually means to get away from (so that you're no longer on top of) something or someone, or more metaphorically to experience excitement or orgasm. In those instances, it's evoking really the "out of body" experience.
You could also interpret the meaning of off in get off to be sense 2: you're "going until you're finished."

Flopping in the NBA is almost pretty commonplace at this point. It happens multiple times a game, and despite the league's effort to implement fines to get rid of flopping we still see it happen nearly every game. Just ask Chris Bosh. Interesting though, we now have a star player coming out and saying that flopping is apart of the game. Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks elaborated on his stance via Bleacher Report. We're never going to get rid of it…But you got to limit it. It's part of sports. It's part of winning. Some people are smart and do a little extra thing to kind of sell the call. To me, that's part of sports. You don't want the obvious ones, the really, really bad ones. I think we'd love to get rid of those. But if somebody really does get shoved or hit a little bit, just to sell it a little for the referees so it does get the call, I don't have a problem with that. I think that's part of the game. I think that regardless of whether or not you want to agree with Dirk, he is absolutely right. Flopping is apart of the culture in the league now. If you've spent anytime watching these NBA playoffs you know that to be true. Perhaps the league will be able to cut down on the larger more ridiculous ones, but I think for the most part flopping is here to stay.

All set for Apple to reveal its magical product iPad in smaller version which is reported to be called as iPad mini. According to a report from Bloomberg, the iPad mini might have a screen between 7 � 8 inches. However, it would not have the all powerful retina display. Bloomberg also says that the product could be launched as early as October.
�For the 7.85-inch panel, there�s a business plan for it, there�s a mass production target for it. And we know that it�s for Apple,� says Richard Shim, an NPD DisplaySearch analyst. Mr. Shim added �I don�t know the name of the product, but I know it�s going to be a tablet�. Shim said � Production is likely imminent. Everything is getting set up. We know the lines. We know how many panels are going to come out of the sheets of glass.These are supply chain indications. By the very nature of the supply chain, these plans can be altered�
Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee & Leach Inc. says that �It would be the competitiors� worst nightmare. The ball is in Apple�s court�.
Other reports have claimed that the iPad Mini will be priced at $299. Estimates for production runs are about 35 million units in 2013.
With Google and Microsoft revealing their latest tablet devices Nexus 7 and Surface respectively, Its going to be real head-to-head war among the three giants.

Released: Mar 01st, 2007
Running Time: 110
Director: Glenn Baren
Company: Kick Ass Pictures

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
As is the case with previous volumes of this series, the pre-scene interviews with the performers are some of the most entertaining footage on the disc. The topics vary from the taste of cum to the oldest person with whom they've had sex. But most interesting is Tony Tedeschi's explanation of "The David Copperfield" pop shot.
Each of the three girls give saliva-filled, gurgling blowjobs to a small army of dudes who then unload at least ten pops down the girls? throats. It's naughty and nasty without being misogynistic.
Retailing: If you have a Kick Ass Pictures section, put it there; otherwise this goes with other Oral releases.

I've been there for business and my wife also joined me for the stay.
at first we got a very neglected room on the second floor with stain on the sofa and on the carpet and after we complained they change our room to a newer one which was nice overall.
the main problem in this hotel that they doesn't supply anything with the room, no coffee or sugar and even not a salt or a soap for washing the dishes.There's a kitchen but it was very old with microwave\oven that was berry work and do a scary noise like it's going to explode and a kettle full of rust.
We've stayed in the hotel for one week and even ones they didn't clean it even though they wrote on their welcome guide that there are bi weekly cleaning of the rooms, exactly like they wrote on their website that there's an air-condition on the room which is a lie.
the spa in the hotel was nice though.
overall I really don't recommend this hotel, there're much better hotels for that price (my company paid 95 euro per night).
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Htel Serviced Apartments is Holland's first company in fully furnished corporate housing for executives and business people.

movie critiques are taken seriously in the literary field?
isn't the cinema field what counts?
Whoa, spell check.
After that review of the review I had to go read the review. I thought the line with "cunt" in it was fantastically sharp, but then again I enjoy a cunt now and again... unlike the outraged "literary connoisseur" who doesn't know how to spell.
He sure does use a lot of exclamation points for someone with literary concerns!
Take that, Annie!
Well, I don't see what purpose there was to that cunt either. Mark Twain? What?
"What did her gown have to do with anything" is, I think, the entire point of Annie's excellent review. If her paragraph was a reading comprehension test, Charles W's essay would get a "see me."
"unarticulate?" That's not a misspelling, I fear. Ugh.
If The Stranger was devoting its energy and focus toward being "taken seriously in the literary field," I wouldn't read it.
R.I.P. Pauline Kael who - during her long, illustrious career at The New Yorker - was never vocabularily-challenged enough to use the word "cunt" or "buttfucking" to make her critical cinematic point.
Cate Blanch-ed, then shouted: "We command the Wagnerian wench be drawn, quartered and depenned."
i was unaware that an alternative weekly might be concerned about its reception in "the literary field." run-on sentences, verb agreement, improper or missing comma usage, missing apostrophes, excessive punctuation et al are all problems contained within Charles' diatribe.
nice job Chuck.
The Stranger taken seriously?? HA HA HA HA ROTFLMAO!!!!! LOL! LOL!!!
That is rich.
getting the word cunt into every other page is all that is left at the Strander
shit, cock and fuck are very commonplace
not forgetting douche bag and sack of shit
loved the movie, all fun and costumes, and one of history's great women - The Queen
like most movie goes, we give a fucking smelly cunt about tin horn shit reviews
whats wrong with me?
i'm tasty and fresh!
and delightfully anglo-saxon!

Although the equitable remedy of rescission dates back to the common law of Great Britain, it remains an effective tool for insurers. I look forward to presenting the topic of Rescission in the Modern Age: Overlooked Tool or Obsolete Relic? at the upcoming annual DRI Life, Health, Disability and ERISA Seminar.
The notion that both parties to an agreement must operate in good faith is a historical tenet of contract law. Further, insurance policies are considered to be contracts of utmost good faith. For this reason, and because parties to insurance contracts could be more vulnerable to misrepresentation or concealment of material fact than other contracting parties, rescission has been applied to insurance policies to allow an insurer to void a contract.
Today, state laws vary as to the requirements an insurance company must meet to employ the remedy of rescission to void an insurance contract. Some states merely require a material misrepresentation in the policy application to rescind the contract. In this context, a material misrepresentation generally occurs when the insured makes an untrue statement that would have changed the rate at which insurance would have been provided or which would have changed the insurer's decision to issue the contract. Typically, the burden is on the insurer to show that there is a material misrepresentation. In these states, the insurer must simply show that it would not have issued the policy had it known the true facts that were misrepresented. At the other end of the spectrum, some states may require that intent to deceive be proven in order to rescind the contract. Additionally, some states have specific standards for rescission of life, health, and disability insurance policies that differ from other types of insurance. Finally, another wrinkle in the availability of rescission has been the Affordable Care Act. Under the ACA, rescission is illegal except in cases of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material fact as prohibited by the terms of the plan or coverage. If a plan or health insurance issuer wants to rescind coverage, the ACA requires thirty days' written notice and proof that an insured intentionally put false or incomplete information in his or her application.
In addition to the varying laws affecting an insurer's access to rescission, we will cover incontestability clauses, arguments against rescission that an insurer is likely to encounter and relay some practical pointers on rescission.
As always, I look forward seeing you all in Chicago!

I wanted to highlight one of the sessions to be held during DRI's Appellate Advocacy seminar on February 10-12, 2016: Discretionary Review in the Federal Courts.
The speakers - the Honorable Sandra L. Lynch of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and John H. Beisner of Skadden Arps in Washington, D.C. – will discuss what counsel can do to increase the chances of success when seeking discretionary review in the federal circuit courts, and cover the assorted statutes and rules that allow for discretionary review, including Rule 23(f) review of class certification rulings.
The seminar registration page is available here.
We hope you will join us in Scottsdale!

I am writing to encourage folks to attend the upcoming 2016 DRI Appellate Advocacy Seminar at the Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona.
I have been involved with organizing the seminar panel on appellate arbitrations, which features: Eric Tuchmann, General Counsel for the American Arbitration Association (AAA); Michael Garone, appellate practitioner and counsel of record for the petitioner in Hall Street Associates v. Mattel, 552 U.S. 576 (2008); and Maura Abeln Smith, former chief legal officer for a number of major companies including Owens Corning, PepsiCo, International Paper, and most recently, the Delhaize Group. The panel discussion is going to be very interesting and includes insights on strategic considerations with handling arbitration appeals from different perspectives.
If you haven't attended a DRI Appellate Advocacy seminar in the past, I highly recommend it. My attendance at a past seminar opened doors for me to get more involved with DRI, and it is a great way to connect with appellate litigators from across the country. The deadline for early registration discounts and hotel discounts is January 26, so I recommend signing up soon.

In most states, the legal requirements a Plaintiff must meet to bring a medical malpractice claim are similar if not identical to what is required in order to bring a claim against a nursing home or assisted living facility. One distinction between these types of cases, however, has been in the numerous claims and legal theories of recovery that Plaintiffs have historically brought against long term care providers in the same complaint. Some states have enacted legislation in order to end the distinction between traditional "medical malpractice" claims and Adult Protection Act claims, Negligence Per Se claims, and so-called "custodial care" or ordinary negligence claims against nursing facilities. For instance, the Tennessee Civil Justice Act of 2011 deleted the term "medical malpractice" from the Tennessee code books altogether. It was replaced, instead, with a broader cause of action called a "health care liability action." Some notable provisions of the Act are as follows:
- There is no longer any formal claim called "medical malpractice";
- "Health care liability action" is a defined term in the statute and includes any civil action regardless of the theory of liability on which the action is based alleging that a health care provider caused an injury related to the provision of, or failure to provide "health care services."
- "Health care provider" is a defined term and includes physicians and nurses but now also specifically includes LPNs, advance practice nurses, physician assistants, nursing technicians, pharmacy technicians, orderlies, and CNAs.
- "Health care services" is a defined term and includes care provided not only by physicians and nurses but now also specifically includes care provided by LPNs, pharmacists, orderlies, CNAs, advance practice nurses, physicians assistants, nursing technicians and also includes staffing, custodial or basic care, positioning, hydration and similar patient services.
- Long term care facilities and their employees, such as LPNs, CNAs, and orderlies are "health care providers" whose care and services are subject to the statute's requirements.
- Many claims which traditionally fell under ordinary negligence (i.e. care provided in a nursing home by CNAs) are now defined as health care liability claims.
- A Plaintiff must bring such an action in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
Regarding the change in the law, one Tennessee opinion, Parker v. Portland Nursing & Nursing Rehab, 2012 Tenn. App. LEXIS 606, FN. 4 (Tenn. Ct. App. Aug. 30, 2012), is instructive because the case was decided after passage of the Civil Justice Act but plaintiff's claims accrued prior to enactment. The plaintiff initially sued the defendant nursing homes for ordinary negligence before amending her complaint to add a medical malpractice claim. The Court allowed the amendment and applied the prior law (distinguishing between ordinary negligence (custodial care) and medical malpractice) while acknowledging the change in the law for claims that accrued after the relevant date of the Act. The Court noted: ". . .[C]laims for ordinary negligence and medical malpractice are separate and distinct causes of action. . ." Importantly, however, the Court added: "Both parties note that the passage of the Tennessee Civil Justice Act of 2011 ended this distinction and created a new cause of action of a "health care liability" claim." (See 2011 Tenn. Pub. Acts ch. 510). Id. at FN 4 (emphasis added). Clearly, the "Civil Justice Act" replaced "medical malpractice" and expanded the definition of a "health care liability claim" to include the type of claims commonly alleged against nursing homes and long term care providers.
For those interested in further discussion of this topic and learning other ways in which nursing home/ALF litigation is different from medical malpractice litigation, DRI's Nursing Home/ALF seminar is right around the corner – September 10-11, 2015 at The Venetian/Palazzo Resort Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Among the many areas discussed, there will be presentation regarding the business side of defending nursing home cases, how plaintiffs' themes have developed and evolved, and tips and techniques for defending these types of cases from inception through trial. This is the preeminent seminar for attorneys in private practice, in-house counsel, claims specialists, and other professionals involved in the defense of claims against long-term care facilities, assisted living facilities, and other aging services providers across the country.

This year's DRI Fidelity and Surety Roundtable featured some excellent presentations. One that really caught my attention was Ronald Freidberg's presentation on "pay-if-paid" clauses and recent case law affecting their enforcement in Ohio. Contingent payment clauses can be used to the surety's advantage in defending payment bond claims. The practical implications of such clauses ensure that the surety will rarely be relying upon these provisions without an active principal. Practically speaking, if the owner or upstream contractor is withholding money from the principal and the principal is using that withholding of money as a defense to a downstream contractor, they are usually going to be actively involved in the litigation related to the project and the defense of the claim. It is rare that a principal will simply walk away from money owed on the project after the work has been performed or the material has been delivered. Still, the surety must be knowledgeable of these defenses. There is no doubt that these clauses can be used to the surety's advantage in defending payment bond claims.
Several questions arise every time a surety comes across a contingent payment clause. How are these clauses enforced and what are the practical differences between pay-if-paid clauses and pay-when-paid clauses? While there may be headings that designate a certain contractual clause as a "contingent payment provision," it is rare that the construction contract will be drafted with actual heading titled: "pay-if-paid" or "pay-when-paid." What happens when there is not an active principal? Can the surety, as a secondary obligor, rely upon this defense just like the other defenses of the principal?
Application of a Pay-If-Paid Clause versus a Pay-When-Paid Clause
Both pay-if-paid and pay-when-paid clauses are "contingent payment clauses." While their labels are only separated by one word and they are both risk-shifting provisions, their applications can be wildly different.
Generally speaking, a pay-if-paid clause makes payment from the owner or the upstream contractor a condition precedent to payment from the principal to the downstream contractor. A pay-when-paid clause, on the other hand, only deals with the timing of the obligation to pay the downstream contractor. At some point under these pay-when-paid clauses, when it becomes clear that the owner or upstream contractor is simply refusing to pay and is not simply withholding payment, the principal will become liable for the amounts owed to the downstream contractor. This is generally a fact intensive inquiry and can be affected by such circumstances as the length of delay in payment, the reason for non-payment, and the downstream contractor's performance on the project.
Interpreting a Contingent Payment Clause as Pay-If-Paid or Pay-When-Paid
Whether either clause will be upheld is a very jurisdictionally specific question. Some jurisdictions favor the right to contract and will enforce these clauses as long as the parties clearly establish that they are shifting the risk of nonpayment to the downstream contractor in the construction contract. Others will practically interpret all clauses as pay-when-paid clauses. Still others frown on these clauses altogether.
My home state of Texas is a right to contract state. Therefore, these provisions will be enforced as long as the parties' intent to shift this risk to the downstream contactor is clear in the construction contract. There is no magic language differentiating a pay-if-paid clause from a pay-when-paid clause. However, most Texas case law interpreting a contingent payment clause as a pay-if-paid clause states that the owner's or up-stream contractor's payment is a "condition precedent" to the principal's liability to the downstream contractor. If this contingency to liability is not clear, the clause very well may be interpreted as a pay-when-paid clause and will only affect the timing of the principal's liability. If the contingent payment provision is interpreted as a pay-if-paid, then the clause is subject to the "Texas Contingent Payment Statute," which provides four scenarios which serve as exceptions to the application of these clauses: (1) the owner's or upstream contractor's refusal to pay is caused by the principal's failure to meet its obligations; (2) the contingent payment clause is contained in a sham contract; (3) the downstream contractor provides timely notice objecting to the enforcement of the contingency payment clause; or (4) the enforcement of the clause would be unconscionable. The application of any of these exceptions will depend heavily on the facts and circumstances of the claim.
The Surety's Ability to rely upon a Contingent Payment Clause
Logically, the surety is entitled to rely upon this defense when it is available to its principal. It is black letter law that the surety, as a secondary obligor, may rely upon all defenses of its principal to any claim under the bond. However, I have had claimants argue that it is void as to the surety based upon public policy. Most statutes requiring a statutory payment bond include language that prohibits the parties from contractually waiving claims under the bond as a matter of public policy. While most sureties will argue that (1) this is not the intent of such prohibitions and (2) a contingent payment clause is only a defense and it is not a waiver of a claim, the wary surety practitioner should know that such arguments are out there. The language in the Texas Contingent Payment Statute also suggests that the surety may rely upon these contingent payment provisions. In discussing the above referenced exceptions, the statute states that "a contingent payor or its surety may not enforce a contingent payment clause to the extent . . . ." The inclusion of the surety in this language, at the very least, suggests that the surety has the right to enforce these clauses whenever these exceptions do not apply.

What follows is a blog post by me on June 25, 2009. I can't resist reposting it because the 2015 Insurance Bad Faith and Extra-Contractual Liability Seminar is nine days away. The Program Chair this year is the below-mentioned Chris Martin. And the below-mentioned Bill Kobokovich will hold forth on "Handling Multi-Claimant and Multi-Insured Bad Faith Exposures." (And, of course, Tony Zelle succeded me as Chair of the Insurance Law Committee.) What is old is new again. And I predict another synergistic and dynamic experience. I'll see you there. Meanwhile, here's that blog post, vintage 2009:
"Were you at the bad faith seminar in Boston last week? Wasn't it great? Historically, the Insurance Law Committee has done this program every other year. People who do bad faith litigation, or handle that kind of claim, really look forward to it. In my opinion, there was no disappointment this year. Congratulations to the program chair and vice chair, Tony Zelle and Bill Kobokovich.
There were many high points of the seminar. One of the best was a panel discussion on litigating "institutional bad faith." The panel consisted of the aforementioned Bill Kobokovich (Travelers), Chris Martin (Martin Disiere, et al) and Richard Fabian (RiverStone). A lot of people told me how much they learned from the panel. The really cool part was that Chris had just gotten a defense verdict, in an institutional bad faith case against Bill's company, the week before. And, get this; the senior partner of the plaintiff law firm that lost the case was in the audience there in Boston. I don't believe he submitted any questions to the panel. : )
In any event, I felt the whole program had an outstanding "vibe." The education, networking and collegiality were synergistic, creating a dynamic atmosphere. Did you feel the same way? To me, the atmosphere in a seminar can make all the difference in the world.
I don't see how anyone who handles bad faith matters can miss the Insurance Law Committee's semi-annual seminar." Click here to register for the DRI Insurance Bad Faith and Extra-Contractual Liability Seminar in Chicago, June 17–19.

More and more jurisdictions are requiring retailers use eco-friendly containers, packaging, etc. In addition, business are voluntarily switching to those products as part of their sustainability strategy. An important concern in the future will be whether these eco-friendly containers adequately and safely protect the public. It wouldn't surprise me in the very near future to see a lawsuit arise out of a customer injury due to a weaker, biodegradable container that failed in some respect. Many of our clients could find ourselves in the "chain of liability" lawsuit, including the retailer, the maker of the container, the maker of the materials, etc. Exterior lighting of a retail establishment is another "green" issue retailers are facing. Many cities and municipalities are requiring retailers to use less energy lighting their properties.
What has your company done or what have you advised your clients to do to protect against this liability? What should trump...public safety or the environment?
Christian Hardigree of Kennesaw State University will be addressing many of these issues during his discussion at the Retail and Hospitality Litigation and Claims Management Seminar in Chicago (May 7–8) titled The Legal Pitfalls of Going Green in the Food and Beverage Industry.

It the fast-paced world of health care, it is easy to forget the simple things – like notifying your state licensing board about address changes. It seems trivial, but there may be consequences for a physician who fails to update her physician profile.
State medical boards have the responsibility and obligation to protect consumers of health care by ensuring that all licensed physicians comply with the laws and regulations related to the practice of medicine. These boards have a process for the public to submit formal complaints, and, once a complaint is made, the board conducts an investigation that includes contacting the physician for a response. But what happens when the physician does not respond?
In my practice of representing physicians before state boards, I have seen instances where the board has requested a response from a physician, and then was unable to locate her for months or a year or more. This is often due to the physician making a move and failing to update her address or physician profile. While this may seem like an innocuous oversight, it can result in significant consequences. In fact, many states have statutes and regulations in place mandating that physicians update their addresses with the relevant medical board within 30 days of relocating. Many physicians, however, do not realize the importance of updating their addresses.
A frivolous complaint made by a disgruntled patient can be easily disposed of with a conscientious response. However, if the physician fails to update her address, the board might not be able to contact her, resulting in a failure by the physician to respond in the requisite amount of time. Such a failure often leaves the board no choice but to take action against the physician, even where the complaint is obviously specious. The failure of the physician to update her status in and of itself could have a significant adverse effect, including public reprimand, monetary fines, impact on reputation, and loss of the ability to attract new patients, acquire affiliations or even obtain insurance coverage.
Another and more critical example is when a physician has an old address on file at the time of license renewal. If a physician does not get a renewal application and fails to renew her license, continuing to practice medicine is in fact practicing medicine without a license. Such an oversight is significant and could be career-ending.
With the prevalence of email communication, licensing boards are often able to notify a physician of a complaint or other issue through alternative methods. While the requirement for maintaining a current physical address is customary, the failure to update a change in electronic addresses is also problematic if an important email is not delivered and/or ignored. Being at the mercy of a state medical board for leniency after failing to respond in a timely manner to an inquiry due to a failure to update any address can be difficult.
A word to any wise professional – make sure the address on file with your state licensing board is up to date.
I will be attending the 2015 DRI Medical and Health Care Liability Seminar, March 12–13, 2015, in San Francisco, where Michael V. Favia, Esq. will present "Defense of Health Care Providers in Administrative Actions." If you will be there, let me know.

As kids, we heard this all the time, from parents and coaches. "You will never get any better without practice": from the piano, to baseball, to gymnastics. Practice builds muscle memory, and without that practice, without that muscle memory, performers and athletes cannot excel, be it at Carnegie Hall or during March Madness.
As attorneys, our jobs require the same attention to practice, practice, practice. We need muscle memory to help us through stressful or surprising situations that invariably arise in depositions, at court hearings, or at trial. How do you conduct a successful voir dire? How do you properly impeach a witness with a deposition? How do you conduct a Daubert hearing to have plaintiff's expert excluded at trial? Without it, trial attorneys confronted with a "surprise" cannot adequately represent their clients.
In a recent blog post, Chris Bottcher, Chair of the Trial Tactics Committee, discussed the major problem facing litigators today: the lack of exposure to trials and other hearings necessary for attorneys to hone their skills. However, the 2015 Trial Tactics Seminar offers a great opportunity for attorneys of all experience levels to practice, practice, practice their litigation skills. Topics include conducting a Daubert hearing, dealing with surprises at trial, how to conduct a successful voir dire, and many, many others.
The 2015 Trial Tactics Seminar will be held at Caesar's Palace Las Vegas, March 18–20, 2015. It happens to be during March Madness. So while you learn from leading trial lawyers across the country to help you build the necessary muscle memory to succeed as a litigator, the top college basketball athletes will be putting their skills to the test after years of practice, practice, practice. The program will be great. It will be a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and grow. Hope to see you there.

While I'm a bit freaked out to acknowledge this milestone, just about ten years ago I attended my first DRI Medical Liability and Health Care Law Seminar. The following year I was given the opportunity to present at the Young Lawyers Breakout session. Fast-forward several years later and I was speaking at the main gig for the not-so-young lawyers. Presenting at both of these conferences, and attending many more, was instrumental in my development as a litigator in this field. While the preparation of the materials and the presentations added a bit of stress to my otherwise stress-free existence as a New York trial lawyer, it was the productive type. I wanted to ensure that if I was about to take up an hour of my peers' time, that I better be a good presenter and have some incredibly useful information to convey. Although I am modest, I nailed these presentations!
Presenting and attending DRI's Medical and Health Care Law Seminar has truly made me a better lawyer and advocate for my clients. Many of the individuals I met the first time I presented have become life-long friends and colleagues. As such, I am able to reach out to a diverse network of friends from all over the country whether to discuss business, experts, complex medicine or locate an establishment in their neighborhood to get an adult beverage.
Personally, perhaps most rewarding, presenting at this seminar allowed me to take the time to appreciate the really important work that we do and the medical institutions and healthcare practitioners we represent. We are generally so caught up in our work that we forget that we are an integral part of the delivery and quality of medical care. It is a privilege to practice in this field as it was to present at prior DRI Medical Liability and Health Care Law Seminars. I encourage you to attend this seminar with assurance that you will meet other professionals who are passionate about the work we do and will undoubtedly provide you with information to hone your skills.

Editor: As the Community Coordinator for the St. Johns County FairTax group I was thrilled with The Record's coverage on April 16 the Tea Party at the Castillo de San Marcos on April 15. There are two clarifications I'd like to make.
First, Wednesday's rally was organized by the United American Tea Party which was formed to oppose excessive government spending. While many in that group support the FairTax, the FairTax organization is a non-partisan group focused on changing the way our government collects revenue, not spends it. Our primary focus is to educate Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Independents on the benefits of the FairTax, a plan based on taxing what you spend, not what you earn.
Additionally, we urge everyone to visit our Web site at www.fairtax.org and learn about the plan yourself. There are many misconceptions about the FairTax, for example, the argument listed in your article. By design the prebate feature of the FairTax will relieve the burden of a consumption tax on low-income families. This idea has been researched and documented extensively but many opposed to the FairTax choose to ignore it.
Citizens should do their homework, learn all the details of the FairTax and then decide. If they choose to support this plan I ask that they join more than 2,000 other St. Johns County residents by going to www.fairtax.org/stjohns_county and join the fight for tax fairness.

Edward Flanders Robb Ricketts (May 14, 1897 - May 11, 1948) was a marine naturalist, biologist, ecologist, philosopher, and friend of John Steinbeck for almost twenty years. He was also owner of Pacific Biological Laboratories, a biological supply business first in Pacific Grove at 165 Fountain Avenue, from 1923 to 1928. Then he moved to 740 Ocean View Avenue which was later renumbered to 800 Cannery Row from 1928 to 1948. In 1939, Ricketts and Jack Calvin published Between Pacific Tides and it is still in print today more than 60 years later. He may be best known as the inspiration for the character "Doc" in John Steinbeck's Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday, You can find the persona of Ed Ricketts in a number of Steinbeck's books. Friend Ed in Burning Bright and Doc Burton In Dubious Battle. Ricketts first appears as Dr. Phillips in The Snake, first published in the Monterey Beacon on June 22nd, 1935.

Recently, we were lucky enough to have 7 members of the GVI team in Perú who took to conquer the Atacama Desert. We trekked 35 kilometers in two days along a beautiful Peruvian coast, raising money for the GVI Charitable Trust. The money raised through this challenge will continue providing the children of Perú with daily fruit and lunch. Although the challenge was tough, as we walked through the driest place on earth, in temperatures of 40+, we were amazed at the beautiful scenery that engulfed us. Surrounded by mountains on one side with a seemingly never-ending ocean on the other, we felt we must have been the first people to have ever stepped foot on that land.
This is going to help our aim of providing long-term, sustainable help by improving basic education and access to water in small communities, "los pueblos jovenes", around the city of Arequipa, Peru.
This year saw the introduction of 'Plan Immersion', whereby we introduced the secondary school children who have received scholarships and materials, to different types of work they can achieve in Arequipa. At this point in time life in the Pueblos Jovenes is their future. These types of jobs included: administration work, mechanical work, engineer work, managerial work, sales and marketing work.
By paying for transport and organising trips, we can open the children's eyes to a brighter, more achievable future, thanks to donations. Over the next five years, we anticipate 200 more children entering secondary school and further education, thanks so continued donations.
Throughout the majority of schools in South America, fostering creativity in students is either not present in, or not a priority of the curriculum. If you walk into a normal classroom, you will see students doing a lot of copying off of the blackboard. When these same students are asked to write a story about a cat named Jinx, they stare at you blankly, because they have not been trained to work the right side of their brains. We have been working in local schools in Peru for the last 6 years, sending volunteers into the classrooms to support the local teachers.
In order to get out of the cycle of abject poverty in these towns, the team in Peru believes that the children need to be trained to think independently. As Walter Lippman once said, "When all think alike, then no one is thinking!" With this in mind, the staff and volunteers at GVI Phoenix Peru took it upon themselves to start introducing the concepts of creativity and imagination to the classroom. This has been a multi-pronged venture. First, they redesigned the gym and art curriculum for all six grades of primary school. In this new curriculum, the children now have weeks of theatre lessons, weeks of dance lessons, and more challenging art projects. Next, the team in Peru took it upon themselves to change the environment that the children are working in to make it more conducive to new ideas and sparks of imagination. In March, the volunteers finished painting the entire Inicial (elementary) classroom with fanciful birds, unicorns, lizards, and other mythical creatures, and the kids can't get enough. The team also started reading time with the children, and will read one page of a story book, and then have the children create the ending for the story. It's a fantastic exercise for them to learn how to think independently.
The local teachers in Arequipa are overwhelmed with high numbers of students and extremely low resources. Being able to support them in this way has been an incredible experience for. The teachers themselves have now started incorporating some of these imaginative techniques into their daily teaching, which is fantastic news, because it means this program is gaining a level of sustainability, which is the ultimate goal.
Later on this March, a group of challengers will be taking part in a two-day charity challenge to raise funds for our projects, which are situated on the outskirts of Arequipa, Peru.
Unusually heavy rains devastated many families in the area, which are home to many of the children where we work, providing free education. Under normal circumstances these families would not be able to afford this education for their children.
The aim of this challenge is to enable us to put funds together to assist families whose homes and livelihoods were destroyed at the beginning of the year.
We would like to share the most recent trustee report from the GVI Charitable Trust. This report covers the six month period from July to December 2011.
We are delighted to share that this has been by far our most successful period, raising in six months nearly as much as we did the whole of the previous year. This increase in funding has brought a corresponding increase in the impact we have been able to create on our programs around the world.
During this period we have invested in sustainable education across Latin America including support for the elderly in Guatemala and income generation schemes to support education in Honduras and Ecuador. In Mexico we have worked with a community to establish a recycling centre and in Kenya our partners in Mombasa will now realise their goal of seeing impoverished students through to completion of the primary education earning recognised qualifications for the first time.
These are just a few highlights of an amazing, productive and rewarding six months. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and played a crucial role in these achievements.
