LOCKPORT - Today's scheduled sentencing for Matthew A. Davis, convicted of felony murder in connection with the death of a Niagara Falls man, was postponed as defense attorney Michael S. Deal filed a motion to overturn the jury's verdict.
Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III reserved decision on the motion, which was opposed by Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann. Murphy rescheduled sentencing for April 18 - unless he grants the motion for a new trial.
Davis, 37, never was charged with intentionally killing Antoine M. Bradberry, 41, in the latter's apartment on Rainbow Boulevard in Niagara Falls.
Instead, Davis was charged with felony murder by causing Bradberry's death in the course of committing another felony - in this case, robbery.
Davis allegedly used two women to scope out Bradberry's apartment Aug. 22, 2011, before entering and trying to steal a cache of marijuana.
The jury deliberated less than two hours before convicting Davis on Dec. 7.
An autopsy ruled that Bradberry's death was caused by "hypertensive cardiovascular disease," but the manner of death was left undetermined. He also was found to have a broken nose and jaw.
Police officers who went to the scene after Bradberry's father discovered the body said there was a large amount of blood spattered around the apartment.
Deal, who defended Davis along with Philip Dabney Jr., argued the evidence was insufficient to prove Bradberry's death was caused by anything Davis might have done.
"There has to be a direct link between the defendant's actions and the death," Deal argued.
"There was no blunt force trauma that caused his death, that's true," Hoffmann replied. "It was the stress on his heart caused by this violent struggle that caused his death."
Deal said the autopsy was done by Dr. Jonrika Malone, who was, as Deal put it, "excused" from the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office for failing a test.
Thus, Malone did not testify at the trial - Medical Examiner Dr. Diane Vertes did so - but Hoffmann said the defense passed up an opportunity Murphy offered to subpoena Malone.
"They want her conclusions, but they don't want to bring her back [to testify]," Hoffmann said.
Prosecutors showed the jury video clips from the Jefferson Apartments' surveillance cameras. They showed a man with a white T-shirt over his face heading toward Bradberry's apartment.
One of the women involved in the case, Teara D. Fatico, testified that was Davis.
Deal said the man who operated the surveillance system said when the images were downloaded, "glitches" resulted that made people appear and disappear abruptly. Hoffmann said the defense didn't object until the jury had seen the video, and then it was too late.
Murphy said Deal and Dabney "did a very excellent job of trying to exploit the glitches" at the trial.
Deal also said Davis told him that after Murphy dismissed the two alternate jurors at the start of deliberations, they were seen sitting on the Bradberry family's side of the courtroom during the jury's return to ask Murphy some questions.
Davis thought that choice of seating might have influenced the regular jurors, but Hoffmann said no one objected at the time.
"At that point, they're basically free agents," Murphy said of the alternates.
Fatico, 23, who pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree burglary and was sentenced to 13 years in prison, testified she had been having a sexual affair with the married Davis.
She testified that Davis was in her bedroom when she received a Facebook message on her smartphone from Bradberry, who asked her to visit him.
Fatico said Davis directed her to visit Bradberry and find out if he had anything to steal.
Fatico said she called a friend, Chastity L. Wilson to come along. Wilson, 23, refused to testify at Davis' trial, even though she agreed to do so when she accepted the same plea deal as Fatico.

So he made a big deal about speaking to reporters to tell us that he hasn't made a decision yet? Drama queen.
I don't blame the guy at all. In fact, I respect him for taking his time and heading home to speak to his family about the matter. It's a huge decision that none of us here truly understand. Don't get me wrong, I'm as anxious to know as anyone, but unless this drags on for over a week, I don't think the guy is doing anything wrong.
The only thing wrong here in my book is people giving these guys s*** for taking their time to decide where they want to call home for the rest of their careers in the NHL, as if that's such an insignificant decision.

The 7 Biggest Lies Told on Social Media
Hey, have you heard about this thing called social media? It's like Facebook and Twitter? It's also like Tumblr and Pinterest, but I'm not a 14-year-old girl or a middle-aged housewife, so I'm not really talking about Tumblr and Pinterest. I do have a Tumblr, but I think I'm doing it wrong, because I don't make GIFs of BBC shows. Cody probably does the Cracked Tumblr right, but truth be told, he is a 14-year-old housewife, so that's cheating.
Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
Pictured above: Cody
Anyway, I do have a Facebook and a Twitter, and I've noticed that it's a good place for lies. Especially certain lies that keep popping up. So here are some of the biggest lies on social media.
#7. "A Lot of People Have Been Asking Me ..."
This is something people say a lot when they're promoting their stuff. Now, I have no problem with self-promotion. If I did, I'd be the biggest hypocrite on the Internet. After all, I'm always promoting my Cracked columns, videos, and forthcoming novel now ready for pre-order!
But some people are not comfortable self-promoting. They don't like saying "I did this, and I want you to see it." So they have to act like someone is twisting their arm, and almost invariably, it's BS:
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Or sometimes people lie to create a buzz. It's the advertising equivalent of "Everyone's talking about Poop Pops! The lollipop with 100 percent artificial poop flavor!" No one's talking about Poop Pops, and very few people care about blog posts. I encourage everyone to just put their stuff out there unapologetically. Those who care will care. Those who don't care will go away, but you couldn't keep them with a lie anyway.
#6. "I Lost a Lot of Followers on That One"
This is a big one on Twitter when people want to be edgy. They'll tweet some hard-edged joke or, even more common, just say something political:
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Maybe they'll lose a follower. Two followers, even. But right after this bold move of Twitter daring, they'll tweet something like "I'm hemmorhaging followers!" Really? Did you go from 248 to 246? Man, well now you know how Nelson Mandela felt!
Social media is already a "dig me" enterprise, but the "lost a lot of followers" tweets are basically fraudulent narcissism on steroids. It's like poking someone in the eye, seeing they don't seem to mind, and then going up to them again and saying, "Oh, man! I poked you in the eye. Did you miss it? Think about it until you see how much my eye-poking annoyed you!"
PSYCHIC UPDATE: I lost a lot of followers with this last list entry.
#5. "I Just Got This DM/Message"
This one is a little different, because even though it's an oft-told social media lie, it's often true as well. Facebook messaging and Twitter direct messages (or DMs) are incredibly buggy. They appear and disappear much like the sores on Cracked's own Felix Clay's STD-disfigured member. But that's exactly why it's such a great lie! It's impossible to call BS with 100 percent confidence.
Visage/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Unless you're this guy. He just can't be stopped.
"Didn't get your text" or "didn't get your email" is far more dubious than "I didn't get your DM." This is why I'm currently lobbying to have the federal government issue jury duty notices via social media messaging.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"Sorry, I didn't know I missed jury duty. I guess the blue dot in my inbox went away when I was retweeting that hashtag about #mysexlifeinmovies ..."
#4. Relationship Status: It's Complicated
No it's not. Only one of you loves the other, but you both still bone.

My chaplain's office sits off a well-trafficked hallway inside the VA hospital in Sacramento, Calif. A large "Chaplain Service" sign hanging outside the door guides impromptu visitors into the suite.
Last week, a pastor entered to introduce himself as the spirit-filled "Brother So-and-So." If you are unfamiliar with the adjective "spirit-filled," it means to embody the spirit of Christ. Or, loosely translated, it's the charismatic next step after "born-again."
Let me pause a moment to say, I have lots of wonderful charismatic friends. And most of them will tell you that if you are indeed filled with the spirit, there is no need to self-identify as such. If true, it will be obvious.
Suffice it to say, I was quickly wishing that Mr. Brother Pastor had kept walking the hall. But instead, the tall, broad and aging pastor sat down and proceeded to recite his resume.
He talked about the prison ministry he ran, and he fed me the details of his meals to the homeless. He buzzed about his radio preaching in Fresno and his television ministry in Bakersfield.
In between each story, he paused to wait for my "amen," but alas, I offered only a polite nod. He talked so long and so fast, I was having trouble hearing the spirit.
He then shifted the conversation into the many years he served as a pastor and the hospital visitations he did. He confessed that he pitied me because, "We both know that government chaplains can't talk about God as freely as a pastor."
And somewhere in the midst of his pontification, he told me that he was praying that God would make him "teachable." If he noticed the smirk that the word "teachable" brought to my face, he didn't say.
Instead, he abruptly assumed a crouching position and told me he was going to pray for me. That's when I decided that I'd answer his prayer and offer him a teachable moment.
"Wait just a minute," I said. "How do you know what to pray for?"
"Huh?" he asked.
I asked this because people sometimes offer their prayers, not as a gift, but as a way to establish their power over the pray-ee. My guess was that Pastor Pray4U was going to thank God that I was blessed by his visit.
I continued. "Well, you mentioned a few minutes ago that you were praying God would make you teachable, so let me share something with you."
He gave me a glassy stare, as clueless as a calf frozen before a new gate.
"When I visit a patient, I always ask them how I can pray for them. I ask them what they want me to pray for. Wouldn't you like to know what you can pray for me?"
With that, God answered his prayer to become teachable and he leaned back in his chair, and spread his hands open on his lap. "You're right," he said. "What should I pray?"
I asked that he pray for our incoming chaplain supervisor and our new chapel. He agreed with an humble nod. Then I asked him to pray that God would comfort the families of the two hospital employees who'd unexpectedly died the previous week.
He shook his head, still unsure what to say.
He did pray, just not the prayer I'd expected. His prayer was a humble and contrite one asking God for the things we agreed upon.
Finally, after he'd said the "amen," he raised his head, and I read a "spirit filled" look that indeed told me he just might be teachable.

Farmers Insurance Open News
Stanley Hopes to Rebound in 2013 Farmers Insurance Open
In one of the most shocking meltdowns in PGA history, Kyle Stanley lead the last year's Farmers Insurance Open with a four-shot cushion as he stood on the 18th tee at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego. Brandt Snedeker, playing in the group ahead of him, birdied his final hole and made his way to get interviewed as the runner-up, only to watch Stanley spin a shot into the water and then three-putt from 45 feet for a triple-bogey. After the end of the second play-off hole, Snedeker drained a five-foot putt and claimed the victory.
This year's tourney will be held from January 21-27 at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, staged high atop the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and you can see if Stanley redeems himself as he battles it out with the world's best PGA Tour golfers by purchasing cheap 2013 Farmers Insurance Open tickets from Vivid Seats.

Two Bend residents were seriously injured Monday evening when their SUV left Hunnell Road north of Bend and rolled, possibly several times, coming to rest in a pasture, authorities said.
Deschutes County sheriff?s deputies and Bend Fire Department medics responded shortly after 6 p.m. to the reported crash on Hunnell Road south of Pohaku Road, in front of 64687 Hunnell Road, said sheriff?s Lt. Kevin Dizney.
Deputies arrived and found initial indications that the 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor SUV had overturned, possibly rolling several times, before coming to rest in the pasture, he said.
Both the driver, Jennifer Lynn Herman, 37, and passenger Ray Donald Calhoon, 50, had possibly life-threatening injuries, Dizney said.
Herman was flown by helicopter to St. Charles Medical Center-Bend, while Calhoon was taken there by ambulance, the lieutenant said.
Herman was listed in critical condition at the hospital Tuesday morning and Calhoon was in serious condition, a spokeswoman said.
?Initial indications are that speed and alcohol are factors in this crash,? Dizney said.
The SUV was heading north on Hunnell Road, and no other vehicles were involved or believed to be in the area at the time, he said. The crash and investigation shut the road for about 4 ½ hours.
The sheriff?s office is continuing its investigation, and anyone who may have witnessed the crash or have information was asked to contact the agency at (541) 693-6911

I was also surprised that NBC only showed D/W's Free Dance. THey should've shown V/M's to setup the rivalry for the Olympics.
I was also surprised that NBC only showed D/W's Free Dance. THey should've shown V/M's to setup the rivalry for the Olympics.
NBC doesn't care about skating at all.
Alot of viewers were not happy with their coverage of the 2012 games. I was annoyed by their coverage of gymnastics.
NBC sucks when it comes to the Olympics. ABC back in the day did it so much better. Even CBS was much better when they had the Winter Olympics back in the 1990's.
From Sochi? Of course there will be tape delays. The time zones are so different from every region of the United States. There won't be anything live, probably, especially skating, unless the skaters perform in the middle of the night.
That's not all bad. Going into the final at Nagano, before I had Internet at work or at home, I knew (because of the time difference and the ingenuity of my friend Kathleen) that Tara had won. I could deal with my emotions about Michelle's not getting the gold and then watch. Otherwise, I don't think I could have watched any of the skating; I'd have been too nervous.
Re: NBC's coverage of Sochi Games
"NBC will employ a similar strategy from the London Games, meaning every event from Sochi will be carried live on some platform (most via live-streaming), with tape-delayed events saved for the primetime coverage. Sochi is nine hours ahead of the East Coast."
But ... once again, not every American will have access to all the live-streaming:
"Streaming and On Demand Content: Access to portions of NBC Olympics live streaming and on-demand Site content ("Premium Content") is available only to users in the U.S. who are currently subscribed to receive video service from a cable, satellite or IPTV provider that has partnered with NBC Olympics (each a "Distribution Partner"), where such Distribution Partner has agreed to provide Premium Content to its subscribers. To access Premium Content, click on the link to access Live or On-Demand Content on the Site. Depending on your Distribution Partner, NBC Olympics will either send you to your Distribution Partner's website to verify your account information, or you will provide your account information to NBC Olympics, and we will work with your Distribution Partner to verify your account information."
I would venture to guess that as it has in the past, NBC's primetime coverage will showcase both short and free programs/dances for all four disciplines. No, I am not saying that primetime coverage will include the competitions in entirety. But I do expect that NBC will devote plenty of air time to the top contenders (American and otherwise). Olympic coverage of figure skating gets good ratings, and NBC will want as many eyeballs as possible for its advertisers. Surely NBC also will be giving ample attention to compelling story lines -- both well-established arcs (such as defending champions who are going for gold again) and any breaking news (the saddest example being the death of Joannie Rochette's mother).
And a bit of good news:
"Team figure skating and mens and womens slopestyle snowboarding, which are new Olympic events, along with womens freestyle moguls, begin the day before the Opening Ceremony, and will be featured during NBCs primetime coverage on Thursday, February 6, 2014."
What I don't like about NBC is that they think we would rather see Bob Costas than sporting events.
^^ Who is Bob Costas?
He's the host of the prime time coverage. They show two minutes of sports, then it's back to Bob in the studio.
I like Bob Costas--he's admirably low-key compared to the bombast of several of the commentators. But he's no Jim McKay. ABC set the standard for Olympic coverage and neither CBS or NBC has matched it yet. The worst thing about NBC is they think everything has to be a sob story--and they seem to devote more time to these "heart-tugging" stories than to the actual competitions. It's like Lifetime Olympics. Grrrrr.

Shiller's Bottom Line: Risk Lingers in Housing
It's possible that home prices have hit a bottom, but heavy government involvement to stabilize the mortgage market and the broader economy has made it harder to gauge the durability of recent home-price gains, says Yale economist Robert Shiller, the co-creator of the S&P/Case-Shiller index that bears his name.
The Case-Shiller 20-city index was up by more than 8% in November from its February 2012 trough as falling supplies of homes for sale and stronger demand have boosted prices. Developments spoke with Mr. Shiller on Monday about his outlook for U.S. housing markets right now. What follows is an edited transcript:
WSJ: Did we finally hit a floor in home prices last year?
Mr. Shiller: The trend in home prices seems to be up now. It has been going up. That's upward momentum, which by my general rule of forecasting has been good for the future. I've been tentative about that. It may well be the turning point.
But I'm not sure about that. I'm more worried than most people that it could be a short-lived turnaround. It could be like the 2009-10 upturn where we saw home prices rising right after President Obama took office and right after the home-buyer tax credit was instituted. In that upturn there were some cities that did quite spectacularly. And then that fizzled. I'm not too sure that this one will extrapolate either.
WSJ: Why are you more worried than most people?
Mr. Shiller: Part of the reason the indexes have gone up is because the foreclosure boom has receded. Foreclosed homes sell at a lower price, and the share of those sales has been falling. People might be deceived by this by looking at the indexes. The question is whether the gains will be sustained.

There isn't any sign of the real enthusiasm we saw during the last bubble. The question is whether this could be the very vague beginning of a new boom? I guess it could. I just don't know. Then there are issues with what the government does to support housing. They're doing everything they can. They say they're going to stop some day. When will people start worrying about that?
WSJ: There are some people who look at the double-digit annual price increases in Phoenix and elsewhere and wonder whether we're seeing new "mini-bubbles." Is that a concern you share?
Mr. Shiller: Home prices are back down to a reasonable level. Why should they go up a lot? It means you have to have a succession of eager buyers that would bid them up. Historically major bubbles tend to occur at widely separate intervals. Once it bursts, usually, historically, people are fed up for a long time.
WSJ: Could it be possible that prices are rising by double digits in these places simply because they fell below their long-term relationship with incomes and rents, and are now bouncing back off of that?
Mr. Shiller: Phoenix overshot. Prices got too low. In real terms it was down well over 50%, maybe close to 60%. Now it's bumped up. It doesn't look out of line either way now.
WSJ: What do you make of the investor activity in the market right now? A lot of these buyers are all cash buyers—no leverage—buying on rental return. Are you worried about any return of speculative purchases?
Mr. Shiller: In a housing debacle, I'm sure some houses are underpriced, and there is probably a profit opportunity for some people who are going to choose carefully. I'm not surprised that this is going on. There seems to be a shift in public tastes for the time being at least for rental. So this business doesn't surprise me. It seems to be an appropriate response.
WSJ: For somebody with a stable job, who plans to live somewhere for more than a few years, is this a good time to buy a house?
Mr. Shiller: I think it's OK, especially because mortgage rates are so low. This isn't a time to get a flexible-rate mortgage! Get a 30-year, fixed rate mortgage. Rates are so low. They have gone up a little, but they're still very low. That's a real opportunity. Prices are not particularly low, but they're not particularly high.
WSJ: What's your outlook for home prices?
Mr. Shiller: It's especially hard to say. We could be looking at a 1-2% increase a year for the next five years. That's a reasonable scenario—1-2% a year, and it might go up more than that. I don't know. My main message is that it's a market with risk in it. We don't know the future. That's the most important message to convey.

In a time when our once-great nation is on the verge of a financial implosion, it is truly gratifying to know the city of Elkins, Randolph County, the Randolph County Board of Education, the Randolph County Development Authority and the Mountain State Forest Festival are basking in the "Days of Wine and Roses." How have I arrived at that conclusion?
At the May 2 Elkins Council meeting, past MSFF Director Bob Woolwine called for an executive session on a real estate matter, with Robbie Morris, RCDA, and Mark Tomblyn, MSFF, brought into the session.
Ninety minutes later, Mayor Van Broughton stated, "no action was taken. We're listening. There will be further discussions." And City Clerk Sutton Stokes said, "The city needs to analyze what its capabilities are."
On May 16, the Randolph County Commission unanimously decided to pursue further negotiations for possible purchase of the Elkins National Guard Armory. The article stated a feasibility study showed the building in good repair. "It's time to move forward," Commissioner MikeTaylor said. Apparently Mr. Taylor didn't go to the same feasibility meeting that I did.
I attended the January feasibility study presentation. Evidently, I was the only one there who heard the three-step process: 1) minor repairs - $500,000; 2) major repairs - $1.2 million; and 3) 6,400 square foot addition at $250/square feet -$1.67 million. plus or minus. This is above and beyond the purchase price which, when asked, Delegate Bill Hartman (thanks, Pocahontas County) responded not to worry about the asking price. He could get a "real" deal, but action had to be taken as soon as possible. I assume prospective buyers were already lining up.
I never had any reason to become involved in city issues until 2005 when a paving and drainage fiasco on Sylvester Drive directly affected me to the tune of $3,263.25.
West Virginia State Code 8-18-1 empowers municipalities to pave streets and assess costs of improvements to abutting property owners, which in this case ranged from $2,034.19 to $10,577.79.
I refused to pay, was taken to "kangaroo court," lost and filed a complaint with the West Virginia Board of Registration for Professional Engineers. It found sufficient evidence to file a complaint. I notified the city, got no response and filed the complaint myself.
After an April 22, 2010, letter from Steptoe & Johnson citing an "expert witness report" which, in part, stated it would cost $98,500 to fix just the visible deficiencies, the city finally filed suit.
In 2012 (seven years later), a consent order was reached whereby the contractor was to do "repair work." This repair work didn't even address the deficiencies in the "expert witness report." And as of the date of this letter, the repair work has yet to be completed.
I have cited this personal experience as one example as to how the city has shown its ineptness and total disregard for handling even small ($167,000) city projects.
Another example is the Elkins-Randolph County landfill debacle. The Tygart Valley Youth Group website states city and county officials, due to conflict of interest, corruption or special interests, have stonewalled Steve Kerns and his efforts to expand the recycling program in Randolph County, even after his efforts, almost singlehandedly, have saved the county residents hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees. Contradiction by local officials on multiple issues - electronic recycling, misuse of public and grant funds, city yard waste collection, discarded furniture and tires and disregard for state agencies - are some of the topics Steve will address at a later date on his website.
The city of Elkins has loaned itself $60,000 to keep the landfill afloat. Landfill Committee Chairman Carman Metheny, is this an "interest-free" loan or are you charging yourself the same interest rate (7 percent) that the kangaroo court imposed on my Sylvester Drive paving and drainage fee? Also, my monthly sanitation charge is $19.54. Multiply just that by the thousands of city customers; where has that money disappeared to?
And now there is the continuing saga of the new water plant. After getting more than $2 million from the city for consulting and design fees and the constant reassurance from Operations Manager Bob Pingley that work was progressing, for some reason the presentations to city council have a couple of minor flaws: 1) the plant won't fit; and 2) the plant is lower than Bear Hunter Mountain. But, not to worry! With a couple of change orders, add-ons and, naturally, since this was in no way the fault of the consultant, more redesigning fees with be forthcoming and maybe, just maybe, the design will be done right.
In conclusion, BOE, city and county employees and county taxpayers from Monterville, Harman, Pickens, Mabie, Montrose, Elkins and all other surrounding communities, drive by the antiquated monstrosity and take a good look at what our elected officials will be, directly or indirectly, proposing to spend our tax dollars on.
It looks to me that the "Days of Wine and Roses" are going to turn into the "Days of Whine and Hose-us."

One of the first comments which most people make on their first trip in an electric car usually has something to do with how quiet the vehicle is. But that's likely to change soon, as the NHTSA is pushing to have noisemakers installed in EVs and hybrids as soon as possible. A report from the New York Times states that the noisemakers are intended as a safety measure for pedestrians and cyclists. The noisemaker will be required only for speeds under 18mph as it's said that the cars make enough noise on their own at higher speeds. Automakers will be able to choose their own noise, but it will have to meet a set of guidelines laid out by the NHTSA.
The NHTSA claim that this will prevent 2,800 accidents per model year of each model over its lifetime. But real-world evidence to support this claim is seen as flimsy by some, and since new internal combustion cars make so little noise as it is, the difference in decibel levels isn't so great. Of course, this wouldn't be the first time the NHTSA has declared something a terrible safety hazard when the evidence was far from conclusive. Accident statistics have not been kind to the legacy of the 55mph national speed limit, and it seems like acting before there is any kind of known problem is what the NHTSA does best. Of course, even though noisemakers will be a new thing in the electric car arena, there are already cars which play pre-recorded engine noises. It's not an uncommon thing in performance cars for the speakers to play engine noises for the driver at higher engine speeds. Because these seem to match engine speeds, most drivers don't even realize the sound is artificial. It can, therefore be done subtly enough that you might not even notice the difference. Whether subtle is what the NHTSA has in mind remains to be seen.

The Best Syndi-Court Show To Plead Your Case
|Email Print
Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Mathis… you may be surprised that none of them preside over an actual small claims court. Judge Judy used to be a Family Court Judge in New York, Judge Joe Brown was a State Criminal Court of Shelby County, Tennessee, and Judge Mathis was a Superior Court Judge for Michigan's 36th District. In fact, each one of them had distinguished careers as judges and I don't want to take anything away from their accomplishments (Judge Mathis' background is especially inspirational); however the courts you see on television are not actual small claims courts. What you are watching is actually an arbitration hearing and the participants (plaintiff and defendant) are paid $500 appearance fees. In addition to the appearance fee, the production company actually covers the award itself! So if you appear and lose, the production company will pay the settlement for you. The only dollar amount restriction is that you can't have a claim of more than $5,000, which happens to correspond to the small claims limit.
The other notable difference is that the arbitrator's decision is also final. You can't appeal, you can't argue, you can't do anything after she renders her decision. It doesn't really matter if you lose because they cover it anyway! Here's a snippet from the arbitration agreement from Judge Judy: "The Arbitrator's Decision and her interpretation and application of laws and principles she uses in arriving at the Decision, shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and the parties shall not have the right to appeal under any circumstance nor shall they have the right to attack the Decision for any reason whatsoever." (from this site)
So, if you got a problem, which one should you go to? After watching a few of these shows, it's pretty clear that some of the judges have a bit of a bias but ultimately all are reasonably fair. You have to remember that these court shows are entertainment, it's not about the law.
Judge Judy
If you're a deadbeat anything, don't even try to win in this court. You might wonder why she goes off on people who show no accountability or responsibility and why she chastises people so harshly… until you realize she used to be a Family Court Judge in New York. Granted, it's half entertainment but you have to believe her prior experience with deadbeats probably soured her on anyone who remotely resembles an irresponsible, deadbeat person.
If you can't take someone berating you (probably rightfully), I wouldn't go to Judge Judy's court either. She doesn't care who you are and she's made a name for herself by tearing people apart in her courtroom. In fact, if you're a deadbeat, expect to get berated even if you are in the right!
Still want to appear on Judge Judy? Submit your case.
Judge Joe Brown
Judge Joe Brown is another Big Ticket Productions court show (like Judge Judy) but his court is a little more subdued. Judge Joe Brown is also very high on personal accountability, much like Judge Judy, but he doesn't berate the plaintiff or defendant quite as harshly as Judge Judy does. If you're a dirtbag, don't even think about appearing. Respect is very important in this particular courtroom. I've seen the least of this show but Judge Joe Brown seems to have a calmer demeanor about him but isn't quite as much of a jokester as Judge Mathis and not quite as serious as Judge Judy.
Want to appear on Judge Joe Brown? Submit your case.
Judge Mathis
Judge Mathis isn't a Big Ticket Productions show, it was originally produced by Black Pearl Productions and is currently being produced by And Syndicated Productions and Telepictures. Judge Mathis' show is definitely looser than the other two and clearly plays up the entertainment angle. They'll let people argue back and forth, interrupt, and have all sorts of shenanigans. If anyone ever interrupted anyone on Judge Judy, she'd threaten to toss their sorry butt out of the room! Judge Mathis used to be a Superior Court Judge in Michigan but it's obvious he doesn't take this bench quite as seriously, again, to play up the entertainment factor. If you're kind of scared of the whole courtroom drama thing but would still like to show up, I think Judge Mathis is your best bet of the three.

on May 24, 2013 - 2:34 PM
A bipartisan group of local, state and federal officials gathered Friday morning to urge people who lived, worked or spent significant amounts of time in the areas polluted by emissions from Tonawanda Coke to tell their stories before two important deadlines.
"The stories of the individuals have, for the most part, remained in the background," said Assemblyman Robin L. Schimminger, D-Kenmore. "Now is the time for these silent witnesses to step forward and to share their experiences with the judge."
One deadline is fast approaching. Those who believe they suffered a specific economic loss due to Tonawanda Coke's illegal discharge of coke-oven gas, notably cancer-causing benzene, dumping of coal-tar sludge and failure to install anti-pollution equipment should submit restitution claims to the U.S. Attorney's Office by June 14.
Separately, people wishing to comment on possible sentences for Tonawanda Coke, which was found guilty of 14 felony counts March 28, along with another 15 felony counts for one of its officials, must submit impact statements to the U.S. Attorney's Office by July 1.
Many avenues have been set up for people to submit claims or comments.
Drop boxes and blank forms for impact statements will be provided in the municipal buildings of the Town and City of Tonawanda and on Grand Island.
Grand Island Supervisor Mary Cooke pointed to a map showing an affected section of Grand Island south of Whitehaven Road, directly across the river from Tonawanda Coke, where high emissions were found in air testing.
Community leaders and officials are hopeful that U.S. District Chief Judge William M. Skretny, who could fine Tonawanda Coke up to $200 million at sentencing July 15, also will specify that a large portion of the fine money be directed toward local projects.
Schimminger said the judge "will determine the price that the coke company will pay for its actions, and he will determine, under the permission that is granted him under federal law, how much of that price will come back to our localities. I'd rather not see a single penny of that price go to pay for bureaucrats in Washington. I'd rather see every penny of that price come back here to help meet the needs of our constituents."
Jackie James-Creedon, a Tonawanda Community Fund organizer who was one of the first residents to act on long-standing community concerns over chemical odors affecting neighborhoods, said, "We need people to come out and send in these impact statements, because it has not been decided whether we are getting a penny of that money yet."
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, said, "There will be huge fines; that's not the question," and he agreed that the money "should not go to Washington, should not go to the bureaucracy, but should stay right in this community to mitigate, to remediate, the damage that has been done to this natural environment."
Some of the damage that could result from exposure to benzene and other cancer-causing chemicals "will not manifest themselves for many, many years," Higgins said. "So any and all fines imposed on this company should stay right in this community and be held in trust until we can assess the full damage that has been done."
Erie County Legislator Kevin R. Hardwick, R-City of Tonawanda, urged that "people who have been telling us their stories for years now tell the federal district court and the Justice Department those same stories about how they have been harmed by the pollution from that plant, how it has resulted in cancer, in deaths and in general harm to the environment."
"Tonawanda Coke has given a black eye to our community," said Town of Tonawanda Supervisor Anthony Caruana. But more important are "the health-related problems and illnesses that our residents have endured, and will continue to endure, because of the blatant criminal actions of this corporation."
More information on the case and specific instructions on what information people should include in statements is available on the website of the U.S. Attorney's Office, justice.gov/usao/nyw.
Residents may write their own personal letters and send them to Sharon Knope at the U.S. Attorney's Office, 138 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, NY 14202.
People also may fill out an impact statement form developed by the Tonawanda Community Fund. For assistance or information, call the fund at 873-6191 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The form is also available on Higgins' website, higgins.house.gov, under "Latest news."

At Hamilton, we believe leadership can be taught. We offer many formal and informal opportunities for students to learn to take initiative; make informed, responsible and ethical decisions; and successfully organize and collaborate with others on shared projects and goals. In a recent survey, 79 percent of seniors said they served as a leader of a campus organization.
AA leaders supervise small groups during Hamilton's wilderness pre-orientation program. They learn situational leadership theories and interactive teaching styles to provide an optimum learning environment for the eight to 10 students on their trip.
Alternative Spring Break (ASB)
ASB is a student-run community service organization. Leaders learn basic leadership training, group facilitation strategies, problem-solving, mediation, discussion of relevant social issues, CPR and first aid.
Hamilton Association for Volunteering, Outreach and Charity (HAVOC)
HAVOC is a student-run community service organization. Leaders participate in basic leadership training, learn about organizational structure and event-planning and meet weekly with the director of community outreach.

HALT teaches seniors how to stay actively involved with the College after graduation. Committee members attend monthly luncheons, hear from guest speakers and receive an inside view about engaging with and volunteering for the College as alumni.
HOC leaders participate in basic leader training and a Wilderness First Aid course, and then lead their own trips. Leaders who complete the advanced course offer extended trips in backpacking, sea kayaking, rock climbing and winter camping.
Leadership Experience and Preparation (LEAP) program
The LEAP program, developed through a partnership among Hamilton students, the Dean of Students Office and the Levitt Center, is a mentoring and leadership program for first-year students.
Levitt Leadership Institute (LLI)
The LLI enables students to develop leadership skills related to their individual career interests, with a focus on developing a global mindset, ethical behaviors and regard for the public good.
Multicultural Peer Mentoring Project (MP2)
MP2 facilitates relationships among first-year international, first-generation (first in the family to attend college) and historically underrepresented students and experienced student mentors.
Organization Leadership and Training
Student organization leaders actively create the social culture on campus. Leaders of organizations participate in basic leadership training, and develop communication, budgeting, event-planning and problem-solving skills.
OA leaders supervise small groups during Hamilton's pre-orientation community outreach program. Leaders learn to examine their values and goals around community work, while also teaching the basics of leadership theory, group facilitation, safety and relationship-building.
Resident advisors promote and maintain a positive living environment in the residence halls, act as peer advisors and role models, administer College policies, and facilitate the personal, social and academic development of their residents.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The huge number of samples being generated for research has created great concern for their accurate and efficient management. Although there are many laboratory information management systems (LIMS) available, they greatly vary in sophistication and robustness.
Thermo Fisher Scientific's Nautilus LIMS has been on the market for several years, but was recently upgraded with an interface for an outsourcing agent. It was initially integrated with Fisher BioServices, but can be adapted to any partner willing to cooperate and build that end of the webserver, according to Dan O'Donnell, associate director, pharma, Fisher Bioservices.
"What's different about this system is that it's a cooperative solution, with both on- and off-site storage samples, along with analytical data. A biorepository system may track data but not analytical data like ours does," explained Trish Meek, director of product strategy, life sciences, informatics at Thermo Fisher.
The two Thermo divisions partnered to create a sample- and data-management solution by linking the LIMS with internal inventory-management systems. This set-up provides a global view of inventory, centralized web-accessible data, a chain of custody, on-line sample requests, and tracking. In addition, this information can be integrated with laboratory instruments, assay/test requests, and results capture and reporting.
An example of how this may benefit clinical-trial management was presented at the conference. Combined LIMS/IT inventory management provides tools needed to manage the entire process, from sample collection kit configuration to linking of analysis data to the sample. Additional benefits include automatic inventory recording, shipment tracking and visibility, transfer to lab processing, parent/child relationship for aliquots, and on-site/off-site repository inventory view.
"We set up an inventory system for companies that have samples stored with us, which mirrors what their requirements are. For customers that aren't integrated, we'll set up a web-service that is a password-protected server where they can find samples and data, request samples to be shipped, and sort data," O'Donnell added.
A key advantage to this new system is that any new data can be uploaded into the permanent record and become available to everyone within the customer system to view and query. Potential future applications of the integrated system include stem cells and biologic API storage.
There are many factors to consider when building a biorepository. John MacNeela, manager of laboratory operations at Gilead Sciences, provided an overview of key issues. Planning must include the purpose of the biorepository, design of the physical building, required infrastructure, and scope and execution of all operations.
Initial considerations include proximity to air-transportation hubs, commercial real estate costs, availability of critical consumable items (dry ice, liquid nitrogen) via local vendors, and a location close to critical supporting elements required for operation.
Transportation of biospecimens falls under federal and International Air Transport Association regulations. State and local regulations may exist as well depending on the type of biospecimen. Infectious samples that could adversely affect human health due to accidental exposure are considered biosafety level 3 or 4 specimens.
The design of the biorepository must include several factors, including the role of the biorepository, the type of specimens (fluids, tissues, etc.), size, type of HVAC system, back-up generators, and whether to have a liquid nitrogen tank onsite. Storing liquid nitrogen onsite requires more space and the correct plumbing to handle its delivery but reduces costs for delivery. Equipment choices include stand-alone models versus built-in models. Freezer choice depends on the specimens being stored—the colder the required temperature, the higher the cost.
Qualification of equipment and verification of an alarm system are also important. Alarm and thermal-monitoring systems (hard-wired versus wireless) have to be installed and it must be determined whether it will be a single or dual system. Security is a big issue—who has access to core operations and what type of monitoring and surveillance is required. Disaster recovery plans should have additional units for backup/emergency storage, an additional storage facility, and a backup generator.
The decision to close a biorepository should consider a number of points, such as whether it has outlived its original intent, if the original mission has changed, if it is no longer profitable, or if it has sustained extensive damage so the specimen collection has been destroyed, or, if salvageable, needs to be moved to another facility.
Each company must decide whether it is more feasible to outsource specimen storage to a biorepository or make a long-term commitment to onsite storage and operation of a facility, summarized MacNeela.

A pancake is a mix of flour, eggs, canola oil, and milk. These ingredients are beat together in a bowl. When there is no longer lumps in the mix, the mix is put on a griddle to be cooked. A pancake is usually served with syrup, but fruits are added to the mix sometimes to be cooked inside the pancakes.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Epitope tagging is a technique that employs genetic engineering to fuse a known epitope, called an affinity tag, to either the C or N terminus of a recombinant protein to facilitate affinity purification and detection. This approach enables high selective capture and circumvents the multistep purification processes that limit throughput during R&D.
The ideal affinity tag should be small in size and as inert as possible to limit any potential interaction with the recombinant protein or proteins that might be present in culture media.
A number of commonly used and commercially available affinity tags require pairing with different purification resins. However each of these tag systems has limitations.
For example large tags can alter protein function and typically cannot be used for further functionality studies after purification. In contrast, smaller affinity tags do not enable purification of high purity recombinant protein from complex mixtures.
Affinity tags that use monoclonal antibodies as binding agents provide a higher selectivity than Ni+ resin columns. However, the reusability of these resins is poor as the antibodies can become unstable in a chromatographic setup. Furthermore, monoclonal antibody-based resins do not efficiently capture target proteins under denaturing conditions.
To overcome many of these limitations, researchers at BAC, in close collaboration with the VIB Research Institute, have developed CaptureSelect C-Tag, a new affinity resin purification product. It is composed of a single domain camelid antibody that is produced in yeast and then immobilized onto a solid matrix support. CaptureSelect C-Tag has binding specificity due to a short four-amino-acid peptide tag: E-P-E-A (glutamic acid-proline-glutamic acid-alanine) that is fused in frame at the C-terminus of any target recombinant protein.
The affinity resin also recognizes the E-P-E-A tag sequence when fused to linkers such as GAA or GYQDY between the C-terminus and the E-P-E-A tag. The need for a linker is determined by the target protein. Other linkers can be applied providing the EPEA sequence is fused at the C-terminal end of the protein of interest.
The CaptureSelect C-tag affinity resin is designed to provide high selectivity for a single step purification of EPEA-tagged recombinant proteins from complex mixtures of periplasmic or cytoplasmic fractions from E. coli-derived expression systems, as well as mammalian or any other complex mixture.
Besides packed bed columns, the affinity resin also shows good compatibility with high-throughput purification setups such as pipette tips or miniature columns used in combination with robotics.
A schematic outlining the one-step purification procedure and data obtained from purifying a 12 kD camelid single domain antibody with either the C-terminal tag -GYQDY-EPEA (A) or -GAA-EPEA (B) from E. coli-derived periplasmatic fractions using a CaptureSelect C-tag affinity resin in a spin column format (MoBiTec) is shown in Figure 1.
These results illustrate that this one- step process yields good target protein purity and recovery from complex mixtures using a neutral pH-based elution buffer (20 mM Tris, 2 M MgCl2, pH 7).
Figure 2 shows a green fluorescent protein (GFP) containing a GYQDY-EPEA C-terminal tag purified using CaptureSelect C-tag affinity resin in a spin column format from an E. coli cytoplasmatic fraction. Protein gel analysis of the elution fraction following addition of 2M MgCl2 and analysis using UV light clearly illustrated the recovery of the GFP, which produced a green fluorescent signal in the tube containing the pooled elution fractions. Subsequent elution of the column at pH 2 confirmed that the bound protein had been successfully eluted in the previous steps.
For sensitive proteins that are not compatible with mild elution buffers the captured protein can be released by competition using the synthetic peptide S-E-P-E-A at a concentration of 2 mM in 20 mM Tris, pH 7. Typically, greater than 60% of the protein is released using this approach, which can be further optimized by the addition of NaCl and/or increasing the S-E-P-E-A peptide concentration.
The CaptureSelect C-tag system also allows binding of the protein-of-interest under denaturing conditions. Once the protein is bound to the resin in the presence of a denaturant (e.g., 8 M urea), the affinity resin can then be incubated with a suitable buffer to allow on-column re-folding prior to elution.
The CaptureSelect C-tag affinity resin can be used in a packed-bed format as well. The chromatogram in Figure 3 demonstrates the purification of a camelid domain antibody equipped with a C-terminal GAA-EPEA tag (MW 14.9 kDa, DBC ≈ 1.7 mg/mL).
In addition to the CaptureSelect C-tag affinity resin, the anti-C-tag affinity ligand is also provided as conjugated ligand (e.g., conjugated to Biotin). This facilitates easy detection and or quantitation of EPEA C-tagged proteins using techniques such as ELISA, Western blot, and label-free platforms (Biacore and Octet).
In summary, the EPEA tag, in combination with the CaptureSelect C-tag affinity matrix, is providing an alternative to existing technologies to facilitate the routine purification and analysis of proteins during R&D.

Hello all,
On Friday I bought a Vauxhall Astra Sri 1.9 turbo diesel from a dealer. It was sold with full Vauxhall service history and the dealer said he gives a one month gearbox and engine warranty. On Friday night the emissions light came on and also the screen was telling me to check the coolant (I have and its fine) so I made several attempts to contact the dealer over the weekend with not much luck. I took it to Kwik Fit on Sunday who did a diagnostics test and it has come up with a faulty ERG valve and needs a new sensor for the coolant... They quoted £424. They also suggested that perhaps a previous diagnostics had been done and the light had just been switched off without any repairs.
I managed to get hold of the dealer and told him this and asked him to cover it, he said that they should just take the valve out and clean it then put it back in. I declined this and told him it needs replacing. So he has said he will do it at his local garage however has got very stroppy with me about doing the sensor as he says his warranty is engine and gearbox only. I asked him to provide me with the paperwork after the job is done so I know he hasn't just cleaned it and put the faulty one back in... This is when he got quite cross.
I have also noticed a rattling when the clutch is pressed in and a whirring from the front drivers side, neither was there when I test drove it. I am concerned that if I ask him to sort this out as well he is going to get annoyed and refuse to do the lot. If this happens I am not sure where I stand.... Is he obliged to do this work seen as though I just bought the car? What do I do if he refuses? And am I entitled to have copies of the receipts of the work done?
It is probably obvious that I haven't a clue about cars... I did test drive this vehicle and checked the paperwork however was on my own. I am not sure if I have been naive, this is a genuine unfortunate incident or the dealer has deliberately screwed me over in the hope I wouldn't come back.
Any help is greatly appreciated! :-)

Kobo Aura One
It's hard to beat Amazon's e-readers but Kobo is doing its best to differentiate its latest E-ink e-reader from its Kindle brethren.
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Amazon Kindle (2016, black)
While the 2016 Kindle isn't a huge improvement over its predecessor, it's a perfectly good e-reader with a clearly improved design and a big upgrade for the visually impaired.
Amazon Kindle Oasis
If you don't mind the high price, the Kindle Oasis is the best e-reader you can buy today.
Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight Plus
The new Nook GlowLight Plus probably isn't going to make any converts out of Amazon's Kindle customers, but at least Barnes & Noble now has an e-reader with competitive specs and performance to the Paperwhite.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2015)
The Kindle Paperwhite gets an HD screen, and while it isn't as big an upgrade as you'd think, it's a welcome addition, incrementally enhancing the Kindle reading experience.
Kobo Glo HD
Though its store still has room to grow, the Kobo e-reader offers a smooth, simple and user-friendly experience at a competitive price point.
Amazon Kindle Voyage
The Kindle Voyage is Amazon's best e-reader to date, and probably the best e-reader ever -- but it doesn't come cheap.
Amazon Kindle (2014)
For those who can live without an integrated light, the Kindle (2014) offers the full Kindle e-ink e-reading experience with little compromise for a budget price.
Kobo Aura H2O
Kobo's new e-book reader is designed for reading in the bath, by the pool or waiting grimly in the rain for your bus.
Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight
While it doesn't necessarily beat the Kindle Paperwhite, the $119 Nook GlowLight is an excellent e-reader that's strongly worth considering if you don't want to buy into the Amazon ecosystem.

National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) is a national observance that educates Americans on the fact that addiction treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live healthy and rewarding lives.
Recovery Month is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). According to an annual survey released by SAMHSA, in 2011, 45.6 million people aged 18 or older had a mental illness, but only 31.6 million people received mental health services. 20.6 million people were classified with substance dependence or abuse, but only 3.8 million received treatment for a substance use disorder.
Now in its 24th year, Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible.
Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.
Celebrated during the month of September, Recovery Month began in 1989 as "Treatment Works Month" and honored the work of the treatment and recovery professionals in the field. It then evolved to National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month) in 1998, when the observance expanded to include celebrating the accomplishment of individuals in recovery from substance use disorders. It evolved again in 2011 to National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) to include all aspects of behavioral health.
The 2013 Recovery Month theme "Join the Voices for Recovery: Together on Pathways to Wellness," emphasizes the many ways that people can prevent behavioral health issues, seek treatment, and sustain recovery as part of a commitment to living a mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy life.
The theme highlights that people are not alone on this journey to seek total health every day. Family, friends, and community members can support individuals throughout the entire recovery process. The theme also emphasizes that there are many paths to wellness, including professional treatment, medical care, self-help, and group support, and each person embarks on his or her own unique path.
A mental health problem or substance use disorder can affect anyone. These conditions do not discriminate by age, race, ethnicity, gender, or income status and are as prevalent as many other health issues.
It is estimated that behavioral health conditions which include mental and/or substance use disorders, will surpass physical conditions as the major cause of disability in the U.S. by 2020.
On a positive note, two-thirds of Americans believe that people can manage a mental illness with treatment and support, and nearly two-thirds say they would not think less of a person with an addiction.
Mental illness is not a sign of weakness; it results from a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Experts estimate that genetic factors account for between 40 and 60 percent of a person's likelihood of developing an addiction to illegal substances, and research also provides strong evidence that genes contribute to the development of alcohol dependence.
Often, people experience both a mental and a substance use disorder, which is referred to as having a co-occurring disorder.
More than one in four adults living with serious mental illness have a co-occurring substance use disorder, and people who have substance use disorders are roughly twice as likely to have a mood or anxiety disorder as those who do not. A variety of factors contribute to the correlation between mental health problems and substance use disorders including:
- Certain illegal drugs can cause people with an addiction to experience one or more symptoms of a mental illness.
- Mental illness can sometimes lead to alcohol or drug abuse, as some people with a mental health problem may misuse these substances as a form of self-medication.
- Mental and substance use disorders share some underlying causes, including changes in brain composition, genetic vulnerabilities, and early exposure to stress or trauma.
In the coming weeks, look for more on the signs of mental and substance use disorders, common mental disorders and misused substances, and treatment and recovery.
For additional detailed information, refer to SAMHSA's website: www.recoverymonth.gov; call the Mental Health and Recovery Board at 330-424-0195, or check out the Board's website: www.ccmhrsb.org.
