HAGERSTOWN — A man died Thursday after he allegedly shoplifted merchandise from Sears in the Valley Mall and then led authorities on a pursuit in a stolen vehicle that ended with a crash as he drove the wrong way on an Interstate 81 ramp.
David Christopher Adams, 59, of Hagerstown was seen leaving Sears driving a 2002 Honda Odyssey that had been reported stolen several days earlier from Halfway Motors on Wilson Boulevard.
According to authorities with the Washington County Sheriff's Office, the county's 911 center received a complaint of a shoplifter at Sears, 17301 Valley Mall Road, on Thursday at approximately 12:20 p.m.
Authorities said the information received Thursday matched the description of a person who also stole merchandise from the store Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
When deputies arrived at Sears, the man —who had stolen clothing — dropped the items in the parking lot and got into the van.
Deputies attempted to stop Adam, but he sped up. While Adams was fleeing, he went the wrong way on an I-81 ramp to U.S. 40 where he crashed into a 2012 Volkswagen station wagon driven by Richard McGrath, 62, of Smithsburg.
Adams was taken to Meritus Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, said the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
McGrath was also taken to Meritus Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
Adams' body will be taken to the medical examiner's office in Baltimore to determine the exact cause of death.

(AP Photo/Shakil Adil)
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) -- A hospital official in central England says a 14-year-old Pakistani girl "has a chance of making a good recovery."
The girl (Malala Yousufzai) was flown to England today from Pakistan, where she had been shot in the head by the Taliban a week ago in retaliation for her activism promoting the education of girls.
The Taliban have threatened to target her again because she promoted "Western thinking."
The teen had been receiving treatment at a Pakistani military hospital. She's now being treated at a facility that has extensive experience treating British soldiers who were injured in battle.
Pakistani's military had said that a panel of doctors recommended she be sent to a facility in the U.K. that can provided "integrated" care.
The military said damaged bones in her skull will have to be repaired or replaced, and she will need "intensive" rehabilitation.

Special guest Pete Wall joins on saxophone to add a funky element to Whitewater Ramble's show tonight at three20south in Breckenridge.
The Colorado-bred, Fort Collins-based quintet combines mandolin, fiddle, acoustic guitar, upright bass, drums and vocals to explore musical boundaries and create innovative cover song interpretations, "grassing-up everything from disco house grooves to roots to Americana" in a style band members describe as "high-octane Rocky Mountain dancegrass."
The "whitewater" in Whitewater Ramble (WWR) comes from a rushing whitewater experience; the "ramble" signifies diverse musical styles. Special guest Wall, who tours with The Motet, Particle and Game 7, adds the sound of his "dynamic sax" to the ramble, WWR mandolinist/vocalist Patrick Sites said.
In its more than 700 live performances, Whitewater Ramble has shared the stage with Michael Franti and Spearhead, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Greensky Bluegrass, Cornmeal, The Infamous Stringdusters, Dark Star Orchestra, Little Feat and The New Mastersounds, among others. In January, it joins producer Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth and special guests to record a new studio album; this comes on the heels of its September release, "Live From the Big Sky Vol. 2: Covering Some Territory."
As to the group's source of inspiration, Sites said, "Sometimes the best ideas come during a live show - could be current events, maybe seeing another live performance, visiting a beautiful place - anywhere really. We've even jammed in a truck stop parking lot and gotten some ideas. We all collaborate on various levels," he said. "Nearly everyone sings and writes in the group."
Concertgoers can expect "fun cover songs, twisted and original music spanning multiple genres, often all in one song," not to mention "great energy, lots of dancing, lots of drinking and good times," Sites said.
The group played the Breckenridge Town Party and a late night set at three20south last summer.

About the Book
"[A] funny and a wickedly accurate picture of the life of a particular breed of Manhattanites—and it's also thought-provoking and deeply moving."
—Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
A young woman deals with the aftermath of her father's death while she struggles to commit to a future with her fiancé in Life After Yes, the poignant, wry, and very accomplished debut novel from Aidan Donnelley Rowley. A story of hope and light in the darkness in the bestselling vein of Juliette Fay, Cecilia Ahearn, and Jacqueline Sheehan, newcomer Rowley has captured all the angst and pain of truly becoming an adult, and has done so with unusual heart and grace, inspiring Julie Buxbaum to rave, "Her flawed and complex characters will stick with you long after Life After Yes's final pages."
"Music plays. Dad appears. I walk with him, eyes fastened to the floor. When I look up, something is very wrong. There are three grooms."
This is the story of Quinn—born Prudence Quinn O'Malley—a confused young Manhattan attorney who loses her father on that tragic September morning that changed everything. Now, at an existential crossroads in her life, Quinn must confront impossible questions about commitment and career, love and loss. Her idealistic beau desperately wants a wedding, and whisks her away to Paris just to propose. But then Quinn has a dream featuring judges and handcuffs and Nietzsche and Britney . . . and far too many grooms. Suddenly, her future isn't so clear. Quinn's world has become a minefield of men—some living, some gone, and traversing it safely is going to take a lot more than numerous glasses of pinot grigio.
Life After Yes is a blisteringly honest, thoroughly modern tale of life and love in chaos, marking the arrival of a truly exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
Aidan Donnelley Rowley's compelling debut novel Life After Yes is funny, and a wickedly accurate picture of the life of a particular breed of Manhattanites – and it's also thought-provoking and deeply moving. — Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
"A must-read modern love story for any woman wondering which man, and which direction, is the right one." — Tatiana Boncompagni
A resounding yes! to Life After Yes—a novel that explores, with charm and humor, life after loss. Readers will root for its endearing narrator, Quinn, as she confronts the road not taken and navigates the conflicting and complicated intersections of head and heart. — Mameve Medwed
Rowley skillfully dissects the myth of having it all in this unputdownable late coming of age story set in rarefied Manhattan. Her flawed and complex characters will stick with you long after Life After Yes's final pages since they are all too human as they struggle with love and loss. — Julie Buxbaum

France, 1958, 90 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, EroticLanguage: French English Sub-Titles
Since September is "Banned Books Month," the Starz FilmCenter has decided to join in to mark one example of when the First Amendment has needed help with respect to movies. The history of attempts to shut down movies is nearly as old as the movies themselves. The 1896 Edison short, The Kiss, with a couple of proper, aged actors gently bussing on camera, brought forth cries that the movies must be censored or else they'll destroy civilization as we know it. Our program will feature Louis Malle's The Lovers, which was banned in a number of communities around the country. The film will be preceded by a 1917 Chaplin short, Easy Street, which may surprise the audience with its rather relaxed attitudes towards subjects that would now elicit howls of protest. Joining the discussion of the films will be First Amendment attorney Lino Lipinski.
DIRECTOR: Louis Malle
Screenwriter: Louide de VilmorinMusic: Henri DecaePrincipal Cast: Jeanne Moreau, Alain CunyFilmography: Elevator To the Gallows(1958), Pretty Baby(1978), My Dinner With Andre(1981), Damage(1992)US Distributor: Janus Films

Governor Phil Bryant has signed a new bill that pushes back the start date for public schools in Mississippi.
Starting in 2014, the new bill will require districts to wait until the third Monday in August before beginning the school year. Lawmakers say they hope the change will help boost tourism revenue in the state. Local school officials say they are not exactly sure yet how the switch will impact the overall school year. Meanwhile, parents have mixed feelings.
"The summer is actually very short for the children, it's only two months," Anita Wansley says. "They have to start in early August and it's extremely hot. I think my family would actually welcome a couple of extra weeks in the summer."
It's shocking to hear," Amanda Faison says. "I just want to know if it's going to cut into their learning time and as far as is it going to be shorter breaks, longer breaks."
"We can make it work, adjusting holidays or even if he had to," Lauderdale County School District Superintendent Dr. Randy Hodges says. "And this isn't what we would want to do is to have to test after Christmas break."
Experts say the later start could mean $100 million in revenue for the state of Mississippi.

This is a weekly editorial by WXII President and GM Hank Price.
This week, Hurricane Sandy unleashed its wrath from North Carolina's coast to the northeast, leaving millions without power and causing unthinkable damage.
Unfortunately, there's another effect from Sandy, and it will target those who just want to help.
I'm talking about phony web accounts and charities, deception through social media, even robo phone calls asking for money.
The goal of these despicable acts, which also happened after Katrina and the Haiti earthquake, is to prey on kind-hearted people.
We saw during last week's Food for All the good that comes when people pull together for a cause. Sadly, there are scammers who will try to take advantage of your good nature.
If you're solicited about helping Sandy victims, be vigilant and make sure it's a legitimate request.

Ceratopsians were a group of plant-eating, horned dinosaurs that originated in East Asia in the early Cretaceous period. They migrated to North America, where they flourished in the late Cretaceous period.
According to the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo, there had been a previous discovery of neoceratops, a more primitive dinosaur, in Hyogo Prefecture. This is the second discovery of fossils belonging to horned dinosaurs and the first discovery of a ceratopsian fossil in the country.
There have only been two other discoveries of ceratops fossils in Asia, in China and Uzbekistan. This finding will be reported at a meeting of the Paleontological Society of Japan in Kumamoto Prefecture in June.
The tooth fossil constitutes a joint of a dental root measuring 12.1 millimeters long, 8.6 millimeters high and 3.7 millimeters thick. It was discovered during a survey conducted by the board of education in November 2011.
As ceratopsians were believed to bite off vegetation using their mouth like a pair of scissors, they were the only dinosaurs to have two dental roots.
The discovery's shape helped its identification. In particular, it nearly matched triceratops fossils, which have been discovered mainly in North America.

This program, in conjunction with iVi Pro and Transmission, makes the downloading, converting, and adding to your iTunes library a snap. It's a set it and forget it combo. My wife and I receive every show I download on cable, but the beauty of HD combined with no commercials, actually make TV fun again. Subscription choices are updated regularly and the program allows you to locate and download missing episodes as well.
Update: TVShows is now maintained by VÃctor Pimentel at http://tvshowsapp.com/ .
There will be no further updates for TVShows. Ember Code has announced end of development on 2011/04/15.
But well, it still works fine, at least for me. I'll probably keep using this until it breaks. Automatic and Catch seem to be fine alternatives for the time after.
As an alternative, you can also try Automatic.
tvrss.net/ezrss.it is back online and TVShows works again - even on Leopard!
I use TVShows in tandem with Transmission and its auto add feature
With tvrss.net down and no developer handling tvshows, it's safe to say, this program is dead.
instead of waiting for months, and for 1.**0** at that, I'd recommend Miro: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/miro
Still no new version? I'm giving up hope. Does anyone know of a web based alternative?
it was actually working for me until about 2 weeks ago. I've got to say, I like how the website has said
"You've already waited 8 months for a new release, one month more is not going to kill you. Stay tuned!"
for many many many months now. I want :(
I love this app. I don't watch a ton of tv, which means the few shows I do watch I often end up missing episodes because my mind doesn't operate on a tv schedule the way it used to when tv ruled my life. With TVShows I've gotten back into a bunch of shows I used to like and had stopped watching, without having to worry about conflicts with my shows vs the roommate's shows or not being able to keep to the tv schedule.

Troy Davis LivesPosted September 23rd, 2011 by jiva
I woke after a fitful sleep yesterday morning and my throat hurt from yelling and my body ached from marching. But in my head all I could hear was "I am Troy Davis! We are Troy Davis!" and if the dull sense of numbness that I'd lain down with a few hours before didn't quite disappear, it did get light enough for me to pull myself up, and to get back to work. This is an amazing moment, not just for the darkness of such blatant and abhorrent injustice, but also for the opportunity to build this movement and change the course of history.
When we heard that Troy's execution was going forward, we were still gathered in front of the Supreme Court in DC. We were a smaller crowd, but such a cathartic moment feels bigger, feels louder. For hours, we were many, having marched from around the city to this spot, colliding in solidarity with students from Howard University who had marched from the White House only moments before. We'd spilled into the street, calling back and forth, "I am Troy Davis! We are Troy Davis!" We'd rallied, forgetting about the rain, our voices echoing off of each other, moving in rhythm, only stopping for a few brief moments to talk about next steps, to plan beyond the night no matter what was in store.
When we heard, we gathered around a woman reading from her smartphone in the quiet now, many of us who were left frantically tried to confirm, knowing well what was happening a few hundred miles away in Jackson. As bright camera lights moved in, a few people spoke their outrage and their disgust. Amidst quiet sobs and angry words, one man called out, slowly and deliberately, "the Supreme Court Justices are murderers!"

IN PART, INTEL TRAILS IN THE mobile-chip race because it has treated tablets and smartphones as second-class citizens, providing their makers with only its Atom line of microprocessors. Historically, these haven't been as technologically sophisticated, fast, or powerful as the microprocessors Intel makes for personal computers and servers.
Making chips smaller can enormously boost their efficiency, measured by how much work they can do per watt of power expended.
For a year or more, Intel has been shipping PC and server chips, dubbed "Core," with transistors that measure 22 nanometers, or billionths of a meter. But the first 22-nanometer Atom chips are only now reaching production. Devices using them aren't expected to reach stores before the holidays, says microprocessor analyst Tom Halfhill of the Linley Group. That would put Atom about a year behind the Core family of chips in adopting 22-nanometer technology.
The next step for Intel is to introduce its still-faster 14-nanometer designs, which are expected to enter production in its Core line of chips by about 2014's second quarter. According to a person close to Intel, the company is likely to announce a schedule at IDF that would significantly trim the inevitable one-year lag for boosting the Atom chip to the next level in speed. And in fact, Atoms will go into 14-nanometer production just six months after the Core chips.
ARM-based chips have had an advantage in power efficiency, one of the main reasons they're favored for use in phones and tablets, where battery life is partially determined by the efficiency of the microprocessor. Intel has been closing the gap, but not fast enough.
The 22-nanometer Atom chips probably are about at parity with ARM-based chips in delivering the same performance at comparable power levels, says Halfhill.
But parity isn't good enough. To win over customers, Intel must demonstrate an advantage in performance per watt of power. "There's not enough of an incentive for OEMs [original-equipment manufacturers] to move to x86 if they're merely getting comparable performance and energy savings," Halfhill observes, referring to Intel's x86 chip architecture, which has dominated the personal-computer world for decades.
When Intel moves Atom to the 14-nanometer size, adds the analyst, the chips finally might boast a power advantage over ARM's. That eventually could help turn Intel from laggard to leader in mobile devices.The announcement at IDF might even come with disclosure of specific dates, albeit not hard-and-fast ones, on which production of the 14-nanometer Core and Atom chips will begin, making the stepped-up schedule more credible.
THE QUESTION THAT WALL STREET will ask in the wake of such a development is what the payoff would be for Intel. At the least, it could help investors' sentiment on the chip maker's stock. At a recent $21.91, the shares fetch a below-market multiple of 11 times next year's expected earnings because Intel is seen as tied to the withering PC market, with no new opportunities. They yield 4.1%
The chip giant has made billions selling microprocessors costing hundreds to thousands of dollars. As I've noted before in this space, chips sold by Nvidia and other manufacturers for phones and tablets are far less expensive, below $100 to start with and, in reality, as low as $10 or $20, though pricing varies tremendously as companies vie to be in each hot new tablet or phone.
Selling Atom chips with the latest technology would mark a major change for Intel, which has tended to allocate its top manufacturing resources to its most expensive products, to generate the biggest upfront payoff.
With Intel's trailing position in tablets and smartphones, Atom chips, in low volume and with low prices, wouldn't offer much revenue or profit initially to the company.
But even if the revenue contribution is very small at first, relative to that generated by PC, server, and networking chips, says Halfhill, Atom could give Intel a strategic, long-term boost. "This is rather like in chess," he suggests, "setting up the board before trying to take the king."
Not only would Intel gain some sales to producers of tablets and smartphones, it would establish its x86 chip architecture as a viable alternative to ARM's designs. And it would show that x86 can remain at the cutting edge of chip technology for many more years.
INTEL HAS LONG ARGUED THAT the PC market, which has declined sharply this year, is reinventing itself. New models that combine the best of tablets and laptops are supposed to eventually give it a boost.
Newly appointed Intel CEO Brian Krzanich last month said that both Core and Atom chips are being designed into more than 50 models of such 2-in-1, or hybrid, tab-laptops this year. But the argument is wearing thin. Hybrids have shown little traction. It's possible that next year's revamped Atom chips will improve sales, but it's also possible that hybrids are just duds.
In that case, to thrive Intel absolutely must gain ground in tablets and smartphones.
An accelerated schedule for Atom doesn't guarantee that tablet and phone makers will purchase the Intel chips. After all, they've been buying from the ARM camp for years, and there's an argument for sticking with what works.
But the news from IDF next month could be the best development for Intel's outlook in years.

I have a question, My damaged vehicle was towed to a panel beater after an accident and I was told that it had been written off and was I was told I have to wait for the insurance assessor to assess the car , then if its damaged they were going to transferred it to a salvage yard. I was not given any quote to prove that it should be written off, or assessor's name.
Insurance sent me a total loss statement:
car value R67643.00
Total excess@30% R20 434.00
Balance 47 434.00
is this fair
We would like to provide our vehicle owners and car insurance policyholders with a brief overview of the most important laws in the regulatory framework governing car insurance in South Africa. These laws include:
- Short-Term Insurance Act (Act 53 of 1998 as amended)
- Policy Holder Protection Rules (Short-term Insurance), 2004
- Financial Advisory Intermediary Service Act (Act 37 of 2002)
- Financial Services Ombud Schemes (Act 37 of 2004)
The insurance sector in South Africa is governed mostly by statutory law through various acts promulgated by parliament. The industry is also specifically regulated by the Financial Services Board in terms of the legislation and regulations promulgated by parliament.
How does this affect the vehicle owner and which are the most important aspects in Car Insurance Law that the consumer needs to know?
We would like to provide a brief overview of the Car Insurance laws and how they impact on the rights of our car owners, consumers, financial service providers etc
Short Term Insurance Act 53 of 1998
The Short-term Insurance Act (amongst other things):
- Provides for the registration of short-term insurers.
- Control the activities and administration of short-term insurers and intermediaries.
- Prescribes financial requirements, solvency and liquidity.
- Regulates policies and business practices and offers policy holder protection.
- Regulates commissions, premium collection and claims handling.
Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002
The objective of the FAIS Act is to regulate the rendering of certain financial advisory and intermediary services to clients. In essence, the FAIS Act deals with:
- Regulating brokers as intermediaries and advisors, and Includes various other professions
- The role of the Ombud is explained and formulated.
There is also the following subordinate legislation to FAIS:
- General Code of conduct for authorised financial services providers (FSP's).
- Determination of Fit and Proper Requirements.
It is illegal for anyone who has not applied to the Financial Services Board to be licensed as a financial service provider, to give a consumer financial advice or sell a financial product. This law protects the consumer from inappropriate financial advice, and consumers can take action if they are given bad advice.
In terms of this law, anyone or any institution selling a financial product or giving financial advice for a fee or commission must, in all their dealings, meet certain minimum requirements; behave honourably, professionally and with due diligence; provide appropriate advice; and are subject to disciplinary procedures if they do not adhere to the FAIS Act.
A financial service provider (FSP) or an FSP representative must always provide financial services honestly and fairly and with due skill, care and diligence. The service must be in the customers' interests, and uphold the integrity of the financial services industry.
If a consumer receives inappropriate advice or if a financial service provider (FSP) or FSP representative has not followed the proper procedures, the consumer is entitled to complain to the Ombud for Financial Service Providers. A determination by the Ombud is legally binding.
Policyholder Protection Rules 2004
The Policyholder Protection Rules were issued in terms of Section 55 of the Short-Term Insurance Act and Section 62 of the Long-Term Insurance Act, and replace the rules first issued in 2001.
The Policyholder Protection Rules are separate from those in the code of conduct for financial advisers set out in the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act.
The rules have a strong consumer protection bias, and ensure that policies are entered into, executed and enforced in accordance with sound insurance principles and practice, in the interests of all the parties and the public.
The Short-Term Insurance Policyholder Protection Rules apply to any short-term policy, such as motor vehicle or household policies, or public liability policies (for example, those covering third party payments after motor vehicle accidents), where the policyholder is a natural person. The short-term rules do not apply to commercial policies, such as those which solely cover your business.
General Provisions
In terms of the rules, an insurer must inform the consumer, in writing, of a policy issued to them. The insurer must advise the consumer of any internal complaint resolution systems and procedures, as well as full particulars relating to the short-term and long-term insurance ombudsmen.
No insurer may ask or induce a consumer to waive their rights in terms of the rules, and if they do give any such waiver, it will be regarded as void. No insurer or intermediary may allow a consumer to sign a blank or partially completed form necessary for entering into a policy.
Direct Marketing
A direct marketer is an insurer who uses direct marketing methods, rather than working through an intermediary or broker. Typically, direct marketers use telephone sales consultants and advertising to sell their policies.
The Policyholder Protection Rules relating to direct marketers are similar to those laid out in the FAIS Act that applies to insurance brokers.
Financial Services Ombud Schemes Act 37 of 2004
The Financial Services Ombud Schemes Act (amongst other things):
- Creates a mechanism for statutory recognition of voluntary schemes (long-term insurance ombudsman, short-term insurance ombudsman and banking ombudsman).
- Determines minimum standards required for recognition.
- Provides for an independent controlling body for each scheme.
- Recognises voluntary schemes.
- Provides consumer recourse by way of holistic, standardised mechanisms for client complaints with regard to the financial institutions or services in a procedurally fair, informal, economical, equitable and expeditious manner.
On the Car Insurance Blog we will strive to assist vehicle owners, financial advisors, insurers and industry bodies in creating awareness of car insurance and the importance of car insurance for road safety. This will also include the objectives to create awareness of:
- Legislation in the car insurance industry
- Legal requirements in providing car insurance advice
- Consumer protection to vehicle owners and car insurance policyholders
- Criminal law and car insurance fraud
- Contesting car insurance claims /disputes
- Role of the Ombudsman in achieving fair adjudication of insurance disputes
- Discussion of Decisions made by the Ombud for Short Term Insurance
We will discuss these important aspects in Blog Posts and seek to facilitate interaction with car insurance policyholders.

Good day my insurance company has informed me that my premium will be going up in August. But its going up from 451.38 to 763.89 its almost 70% increase. is this legal what should i be looking at and whats the max increase after one year with a insurance company. I have only claimed once. please assist.
I was just informed by my company that after a year that my premiums will be going up.
But they have put an increase of almost 70% on my current premium. From R451.28 – R763.89.
I have a 2009 1.4 polo. What is the legal % increase allowed for vehicle insurance.
Received a very long email explaining what they take into consideration for increases.
Since i started paying my own insurance i have only claimed once for vehicle damages and the increases the premium because of the claim and the claim was logged last year October. Now they increase again. Please assist as i would like to search for a new insurance company.
Hi there..I would like to find out how an insurance company decides that a accident vehicle is a total loss and whether I as the owner of a car can rightfully request a second assessment or even contest the writeoff to have the car repired.
I had a minor scratch on someone else's car. As at then my car was not yet insured. I was not given 3 quotes in respect of the repairs and after more than six months of the incidence, I am now being asked by his insurance company to pay an amount I consider outrageous for the repairs. They are threatening court action if I do not pay the amount. Please what an I do?
I bumped a lady car door in a parking lot her car and mines was
already parked. THe time i was moving from the parking I scratches her door its was small dent areaand the passenger was already getting out Now she wants to take us to court for with my company as I was driving company. Now she want a new door from Toyota and according to her and lawyers
They demand we pay R7000-00 within 2 days if we are failing to pay we will go to court. Can you please give me some
advice regarding the matter? i cant afford a attorney, at work they decided dat I must paid this woman.
Please can somebody help with the problem below:
My car got bumped in a complex, the person forgot to put their car in gear as we were parked on an inclined surface. I have received the claim number but now the problem lies on my shoulders! I need to send my car in for repairs but this is a huge inconvenience as i need my car for work. A couple of panel beaters require my car to be booked in for at least two days just for a quotation.
How long is the claim number valid for?
I was involved in an accident and at the time of the accident i hadn't paid my insurance premium,meaning i am not covered, i understand that but the other party was on the wrong and now i need to claim for my car to be fixed, I tried asking for him to get his insurance to assess the damages but he is not giving me any joy, can i get help for someone to do the claim,will my insurance assist? or is there any other way i can get my car fixed.
Hi I hope you can assist.
I purchased a car for a family member, the car being registered in my name until such time as the family member payed off the car, then will be transfered to their name. The car has been added to my insurance policy, full comprehensive. Due to family member not paying for insurance, i'm forced to remove it from my policy. My question is: Should the family member have an accident in the car, while its not insured, and the accident is their fault, am I (owner of the car) liable for anything, or is the driver of the car fully liable?
Thanks for your assistance.
Good day,
My vehicle got submerged in a river after sliding off the road into a river on a farm. The vehicle could only be recovered the next day since it got too dark to continue the recovery. After recovery we proceeded to drain and replace all oils, flushed and turned the engine, and removed all seats and carpeting for drying. The following day I lodged a claim with my insurer who told me they would be in contact with regards to towing the vehicle to the nearest assessment centre. In the mean while we proceeded to put back the seats and carpeting and tried to start the car. The car started and ran, with only some minor electrical issues. The car eventually got towed to the assessment centre a week later.
At the assessment centre, no physical inspection was done on the car and no quote for repairs existed, though I was informed that my car was a write-off. I was informed that the claim has been approved, but they would only pay out R126,000 and I still owed R166,000. I later decided to go to the centre and check whether I could still start the car with the intention to cancel the claim and do the repairs myself, but when I got there I was informed that my car has been towed to an Auction House two weeks earlier!
I was driving to visit a friend, 2km's before my destination, I encountered road works, it was 19:00 hours and dark, the car in front of me slowed down and I collided with him on his right rear bumper, I then collided with the chevron boards placed in the middle of the road since there was no road markings. My car left the road and went down a embankment. I was in pain from a back injury, and did not even think to call anybody. Luckily a person arrived and ask if he can phone an ambulance, I replied yes. The breakdown driver arrived and asked if he can tow my car, I asked him if he was an authorized tow from my insurer, he said yes, I told him to tow the car. I was taken to the hospital, on the way the ambulance guy gave me a "Drip". At the hospital I told the doctor I had a back injury, she wanted to pull blood but I told her there was nothing wrong with me except my back, she made me sign a letter stating that I refused to pull blood, The insurance wrote the car off, and now refuse to pay out my car. R492000.00 The other person did not contact me, nor did the police, the police did not ask me to perform a Breathalyzer test nor to take blood.In my statement I told the assessor that I did not drink, but say the doctor wrote in the file she smelled alcohol. What can I do? how do I proof the Doctor was mistaking? I do I make the insurance obligate my claim? What other legal implications am I left with that may arise from this? Please help!
I was in a accident in a parking lot. While I was waiting for another car to leave a parking spot so that I could park my car a car reversed into my car. Who is at fault? I have all of the details of the other cars driver and whe even went together to report the accident at the police station where by both parties signed the report but now it seemes that they are becoming difficult. What to do?
I just want to know my wife had accident with my vehicle drove in to the back of another car my car is already fixed by my insurance.Can i be held responsible for the other party co-payment on their insurance for the damage on their car.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - After a several-year absence, Za's restaurant is returning to Tahoe City this spring at its prior location behind Pete N Peter's.
The restaurant owner, Jonny Roscher, who has been traveling with the John Force Racing drag team as its team chief, said he decided to reopen the restaurant because he loves Tahoe City and is looking for another challenge.
"I'm really excited that everybody in town is excited," said Roscher, adding that residents have been approaching him about the reopening and telling him their favorite dishes Za's used to serve when it was open from 1988 to 2005.
Patrons can expect the menu to have some of the same dishes as before, such as smoked chicken pasta, steamed calms and gorgonzola pizza, Roscher said, and it will feature new dishes inspired by his travels, such as jalapeno stuffed in shrimp wrapped in bacon, potato crusted fish and chips, and citrus herb marinated pork tenderloin.
The same quality of food will be served, he added, with a focus on making everything from scratch and using locally grown ingredients. Prices will be affordable, Roscher said, with the idea of gearing them toward locals.
"(I'm) looking forward to seeing old friends and making new friends," he said.
Za's will replace the recently closed North Shore Hawaiian Grill at 395 North Lake Blvd.

Schools will no longer be able to let registered sex offenders on campus without first notifying students' families, under a bill signed into law Monday and inspired by an uproar over an incident at a San Jose Catholic school.
Senate Bill 326 by state Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, requires schools to notify the parents of all students at least two weeks in advance if a school grants permission to a registered sex offender, who is not a parent of a child attending that school, to participate in school-related activities.
Beall introduced the bill in February after meeting with outraged parents from San Jose's St. Frances Cabrini parish and school.
Mark Gurries, who was convicted in May 2010 on one count of lewd and lascivious acts on a minor under 14, was at a St. Frances Cabrini event attended by many children last October, and was spotted by a former student who knew his victim. Parents demanded that the Rev. Lieu Vu remove Gurries from the festival, but Vu insisted Gurries, 51 -- who had a permission slip from the Diocese of San Jose -- had a right to be there. Hours later, a sheriff's deputy asked the unwanted volunteer to leave.
Parents blasted the church for allowing a convicted sex offender to work the festival, Vu resigned as the parish priest in November, and Gurries was sentenced in April to 30 days in jail for violating his probation, which specified that he "not work, be self-employed nor do volunteer work in (an) organization that involves supervision of children under 18 years."
Some of the parents who had met with Beall praised the new law Monday.
"It absolutely ensures the safety of our kids in school in a way that wasn't there before," said Bill Updyke, of Los Gatos, whose daughter, Kyra, is in sixth grade at St. Frances Cabrini. "I think whenever you drop your kids off at school, you assume everything is in place for them to be safe ... so it was eye-opening that it was possible for something like this to go on."
The Diocese of San Jose "is in favor of any law that protects children," spokeswoman Bernie Luongo Hoye said Monday.
The state Senate and the Assembly both passed the bill with unanimous votes, and no organizations had opposed it. The new law, signed Monday by Gov. Jerry Brown, takes effect Jan. 1.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Having me describe the apparel in a women's clothing shop does not do the clothing justice. But fortunately, NJ Boutique, Snowmass' new women's clothing shop, is so convenient, you can easily pop in and let owner/manager Michelle McCuiston do a far more adequate job of showcasing her fashionable clothing.
McCuiston opened NJ Boutique about a week ago on the Snowmass Mall next to Daly Bottle Shop and Fuel.
"The store is somewhat eclectic for any woman's needs or desires," McCuiston said. "Edgy, funky, sophisticated, conservative, dressy. I'm shopping for the young as well as the understated and conservative."
Many of the collections you will find in NJ Boutique reflect the owner's fashion needs and desires and are clothing that she would wear herself, or clothing that she dreams her alter-ego might wear.
This is McCuiston's first women's shop in the Roaring Fork Valley, though she has had a small online business featuring fashion wear that she plans to relaunch to complement NJ Boutique.
Michelle McCuiston has lived in the Roaring Fork Valley since 1993. Previously she was working in the garment industry in New York and commuting to her home in Miami. An avid skier, she came out to Snowmass with the Miami Ski Club, one of the country's largest, and, like so many Snowmass Villagers, she fell in love with the place and decided to move here.
Her first job was at the Ullrhof, while she worked summers at the Maroon Creek Club.
"I couldn't believe that people would actually pay me to live here and work in this valley," McCuiston said. "I was astounded. The jobs were not complex but the lifestyle was amazing. And still is."
What does she like most about our home?
"The serenity and the pristine environment," McCuiston said. "And then the people. The people are fun, accepting and Aspen/Snowmass is a very family-oriented area that is welcoming and inviting."
She highlights the different clothing collections in NJ Boutique beginning with her collection of couture sewing, which is high-level stitching that big fashion houses train people to do.
"The garment district in New York is still alive and well and you can still get great prices there," McCuiston said. "Then I have things from overseas that have great price points, and the material is wonderful."
In addition to Angora sweaters and fitted coats, you will also find several knitted furs, which are a combination of high-quality material and inexpensive fur.
McCuiston also has a jewelry stand that she calls her "rock 'n' roll section."
"Ninety percent of my jewelry is made in the United States and it ranges from $57 to about $200," McCuiston said.
McCuiston knows that women shop on a budget, so she has worked hard to make her store as affordable as possible.
"With Internet and major stores, good deals are out there," she said. "I go on the Internet and see what the prices are at Nordstrom's or Neiman Marcus. And if they are on sale, I'm on sale. But you can get the same price here as you can at Nordstrom's."
McCuiston is divorced and has two children, Noah, 11, and Jasmine, 8 (the N and J in the store's name). She says they love living here every bit as much as she does.
"I believe in Snowmass," said McCuiston. "I believe it's important that we have a store like this up here with good prices, a variety of clothing that is fun, elegant and sophisticated. Casual, every day fun stuff. So far, it's been a great response."
She thanked her ex-husband Jim McCuiston for being the muscle to get the store up and running, and she thanked Snowmass Hospitality staff members because they have been supportive and encouraging to her.
Next Wednesday, Dec. 26, NJ Boutique will have its "Grand Opening Sale." All knitted furs, all leather goods, and her My Tribe clothing and Old Gringo boots will be 25 percent off.

STOCKTON - Detectives spent hours at a Stockton apartment complex investigating the city's 13th homicide of 2013 after a man was found dead Friday, authorities said.
Police were dispatched to the Venetian Park Apartments in the 1400 block of Marco Polo Drive on a report of a disturbance at 12:13 p.m., officials said. When they arrived, they found a deceased man in an upstairs apartment unit, authorities said. Police did not disclose how the man died.
One resident of the apartment complex said he heard about five gunshots Thursday night. Another said there was drug activity at the apartment unit where the body was found. Both residents spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared for their safety.
The apartment complex is located on Marco Polo Drive near North Pershing Avenue, directly across from the west entrance to San Joaquin Delta College. Residents said there were three people - a woman, her boyfriend and another man - living in the apartment unit where the body was found.
A man was detained in the back of a police car and later driven away from the scene. A woman was taken away from the scene in the front seat of an unmarked police car.

France, 2012, 110 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, ForeignLanguage: French English Sub-Titles
NOW PLAYING at the Sie FilmCenter
François Mauriac's legendary 1927 novel of French provincial life has been gloriously brought to the screen by the inestimable Claude Miller in his final film. Marvelously played by the luminous Audrey Tautou, Thérèse is a heroine hewn from the same stock as Madame Bovary or Anna Karenina, suffocated by her provincial marriage. Thérèse has married less for love than for convenience, but it is not long before the casual disinterestedness shown her by her arrogant husband, Bernard, sets her mind in motion. Life is easy at first, as Bernard's pinewood estates keep them both in the lap of luxury. But when Thérèse's best friend Anne, who also happens to be Bernard's younger sister, falls madly in love with a handsome young Portuguese man, Thérèse begins to see what she has been missing in her life. Corralled by Bernard's family into persuading Anne to forego her planned nuptials, she begins to see first-hand the awesome power of passionate love, as Anne will go to any length to keep her lover by her side. Soon, Thérèse begins her own fight against the oppressive Desqueyroux family.

Never miss another 'Status Quo' show
QuoFestive: Status Quo + Bad Influence
Status Quo kick off their 2012 Christmas tour, QuoFestive, this December.
The band will be joined at the shows in Cardiff, Birmingham and London by the legendary Bonnie Tyler and also on all dates by a very special guest (to be announced shortly).
The QuoFestive set will feature, of course, a slew of massive hits from that amazing catalogue of classics, plus some new tracks from their latest Top Ten album 'Quid Pro Quo', which has just been awarded a BPI Silver Sales disc. Add into that the special guest and a host of hits from Bonnie Tyler and QuoFestive' represents an evening of over 3 hours of entertainment that would put a smile on even Ebeneezer Scrooge's face.
It's a Christmas cracker!

Status Quo
Legendary three-chord maestros who have been rockin' all over the world for over 35 years. With more Top Of The Pops appearances than any other band, Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt have spent in excess of 417 weeks (that's over eight accumulative years!) in the British singles charts. In 1991, the guys were awarded a Brit for their Outstanding Contribution to Music; and Rick and Francis were awarded their long-deserved OBEs in 2010.
Status Quo tour dates
Bad Influence
Bad Influence is described as a 'rock and blues' band and that is where they sit quite comfortably. However, this band has many musical influences and it shows in just about every song on the new CD. Val is often described as 'Bonnie Raitt gone raunchy' or 'powerful like Janis Joplin'. Richard squeezes every ounce of passion from the guitar, whilst Harry and Pete hold it very tightly together at the back. Originally formed in 1986, by Val Cowell (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), and Richard Hayes (lead and slide guitar).

Pet ToysHaving a pet is a lot of fun, but it also involved a great deal of work. When you opt to take your pet on the road with you, you must bring along everything they need. That goes beyond just a bed and food. You want to stock a few toys that are special to your RV or camper to make the experience particularly fun for your pet as well.
Rope toys can be the basis for a tug-of-ware game. Balls and other fetch toys get your dog running and using their energy productively. A couple of floating toys will give your water dog a chance to play fetch in their favorite medium, while chew toys offer hours of indoor entertainment so your dog doesn't tear up the interior while you are out. Don't forget to bring along treat dispensing toys to keep their minds busy, too.

SAN JOSE -- With Douglas Murray signing a contract to play in Sweden, six Sharks are in Europe or heading there. Four have gone back to the area where they grew up. The rest remain here.
Friday was supposed to be the start of Sharks training camp for the 2012-13 season, but an NHL lockout now in its sixth day means that teammates are scattered around the globe. And the moment when work begins to fulfill the dream of becoming the next Stanley Cup champion is postponed indefinitely.
Maybe only half jokingly, that was the one upside that Adam Burish, one of two Sharks free agent acquisitions over the summer, found in the situation.
"If there's one thing I'm not sad about missing it's the bike testing and the jumping and all that stuff that starts training camp always," Burish said, referring to the fitness and medical tests that take place annually.
Burish was one of five San Jose players who rented a rink at Sharks Ice on Friday, the lowest turnout since players began skating together several weeks ago. But he hopes to land a spot in a European lineup soon.
"The last few days I've been bored out of my mind. Obviously I'm exploring going over and playing," said Burish, a gritty forward who signed a four-year, $7.4 million contract in July. "I like having a schedule, I like having things to do."
Changing teams adds to the problem beyond just settling into a new city, Burrish said.
"For me, when you go to a new team you want to get to know the guys, you want to hang out with them, you want to skate with them, you want to train with them," he said. "Now I don't get a chance. I don't get to see the team dynamics, see how guys are together, how guys interact. That's kind of tough for me."
Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski — two of the other Sharks skating Friday — said they had not ruled out joining Joe Thornton, Logan Couture, Marty Havlat, Michal Handzus, Jason Demers and Douglas Murray in Europe.
"I've got to keep all options open. I'm playing it day-to-day basically, said Marleau, who added that having a wife and two children isn't necessarily a big obstacle. "It depends on where you go. I think certain leagues have a week to 12-day breaks so you could fly home to see your family. It's not ideal obviously."
Pavelski said it's about finding the best way to be prepared for the start of the season — whenever that comes. And he wasn't about to predict when that might happen.
"My guess is as bad as everyone else's," he said. "Nobody knows."
