But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes more acute.

OSCAR A. CLIFTON, PLAINTIFF,v.PHILLIP J. CLINE, DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR THE COUNTY OF TULARE; EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DEFENDANTS.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS AND DISMISSING DEFENDANT BROWN WITH LEAVE TO AMEND (Documents #23 & #31)
This civil rights action is brought by Plaintiff Oscar A. Clifton, and it stems from his denied request for post-conviction DNA testing. This court has jurisdiction over the action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331.
On June 26, 2008, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint ("complaint"). The complaint names Phillip J. Cline, District Attorney for the County of Tulare ("Defendant D.A. Cline"), and Edmund G. Brown, Jr., Attorney General for the State of California ("Defendant A.G. Brown"), as Defendants. Plaintiff requests relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff contends he has the right to post-conviction DNA testing of evidence from Plaintiff's criminal case that is still in existence and an accounting of all remaining evidence.
On October 14, 2008, Defendant A.G. Brown filed a motion to dismiss. Defendant A.G. Brown contends that he is entitled to dismissal because he is only named in the complaint in his position as the District Attorney of Tulare County's supervisor. Defendant A.G. Brown argues that he cannot be held liable under a theory of respondeat superior or another vicarious liability theory.
On November 11, 2008, Plaintiff filed an opposition. Plaintiff contends that even if Defendant A.G. Brown did not directly participate in the deprivations of Plaintiff's rights, he knew of the violations and failed to prevent them. Plaintiff contends that a Deputy Attorney General filed an opposition to Plaintiff's petitions for DNA testing in the California courts and made incorrect representations to the court. Plaintiff also points out that pursuant to California Penal Code § 1405 Defendant A.G. Brown has a direct role in overseeing tests that are conducted.
On November 21, 2008, Defendant A.G. Brown filed an reply. Defendant A.G. Brown contends that he has no causal connection to Plaintiff's purported injury.
A complaint may be dismissed under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for "failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted". Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 12(b)(6). A Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal can be based on the failure to allege a cognizable legal theory or the failure to allege sufficient facts under a cognizable legal theory. Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Dep't, 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1990); Robertson v. Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc., 749 F.2d 530, 533-34 (9th Cir.1984). In considering a motion to dismiss, the court must accept as true the allegations of the complaint in question, construe the pleading in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion, and resolve all doubts in the pleader's favor. Hospital Bldg. Co. v. Rex Hospital Trustees, 425 U.S. 738, 740 (1976); Jenkins v. McKeithen, 395 U.S. 411, 421 (1969); Broam v. Bogan, 320 F.3d 1023, 1028 (9th Cir. 2003).
For a complaint to avoid dismissal pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), the complaint need not contain detailed factual allegations; rather, it must plead "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, -- U.S. -- , 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1974 (2007); Weber v. Department of Veterans Affairs, 512 F.3d 1178, 1181 (9th Cir. 2008). The complaint's factual allegations "must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level." Twombly, 127 S.Ct. at 1964-65. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) requires a "showing" that the plaintiff is entitled to relief, "rather than a blanket assertion" of entitlement to relief. Id. at 1965 n. 3.
The facts underlying this case are lengthy, well known to the parties, and mostly unnecessary to resolve the pending motion. In short, on July 14, 1976, Plaintiff was convicted of murder, kidnaping, and attempted rape. The complaint alleges that Plaintiff has always maintained his factual innocence. After California Penal Code § 1405 was enacted in 2001 Plaintiff filed a petition for post-conviction DNA testing. As a result, four items were tested: (1) The victim's green pants; (2) The victim's underpants; (3) The victim's sanitary napkin and belt; and (4) Plaintiff's bone-handled pocket knife. The DNA test of the victim's belongings revealed no sperm. The testing of Plaintiff's knife revealed dried blood that could not be typed.
Subsequently, the lab stated that it had discovered in its possession 46 slides pertaining to Plaintiff's case. Plaintiff then filed a second petition pursuant to Section 1405, in which he asked for testing of the newly discovered slides. This petition was opposed by the California Attorney General's office, which contended that the 46 slides were only reference samples or would only provide inculpatory evidence.Plaintiff's second petition was then denied by the California courts.
The complaint alleges that the California Attorney General's office's representations to the court concerning the 46 slides were incorrect. The complaint alleges the representations were based on a letter from Terri Ghio at Forensic Analytical, in which she stated that the slides did not contain any semen. The complaint alleges that in a follow up letter, Ms. Ghio indicated that no DNA testing or other tests were performed on these slides. The complaint alleges that at least 23 of the 46 slides are material, relevant evidence in Plaintiff's case and are not merely reference samples. The complaint alleges that these slides include hairs removed from Plaintiffs' clothing and vehicle, the hairs removed from the victim's clothing or body, and hairs removed from the a ski cap and rags found in the area.
The complaint alleges that Defendant A.G. Brown is responsible for supervising Defendant D.A. Cline.
The Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, provides a cause of action against any person who, under color of state law, deprives another of any rights, privileges or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States. 42 U.S.C. § 1983. To state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 a plaintiff must allege that the defendant was acting under color of state law and his conduct must have deprived the plaintiff of rights, privileges or immunities secured by the constitution or laws of the United States. Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527, 535 (1981). In addition, liability may be imposed on an individual defendant under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 only if the plaintiff can show that the defendant proximately caused the deprivation of a federally protected right. Leer v. Murphy, 844 F.2d 628, 634 (9th Cir.1988); Harris v. City of Roseburg, 664 F.2d 1121, 1125 (9th Cir.1981). "The inquiry into causation must be individualized and focus on the duties and responsibilities of each individual defendant whose acts or omissions are alleged to have caused a constitutional deprivation." Leer, 844 F.2d at 633. If a plaintiff fails to allege adequate causation, the complaint must be dismissed. Marsh v. San Diego County, 432 F.Supp.2d 1035, 1045 (S.D.Cal.2006).
There is no respondeat superior liability under Section 1983. Jones v. Williams, 297 F.3d 930, 934 (9th Cir. 2002). To show a supervisor's liability, the plaintiff must show (1) the supervisor's personal involvement in the constitutional deprivation, or (2) a sufficient causal connection between the supervisor's wrongful conduct and the constitutional violation. Jeffers v. Gomez, 267 F.3d 895, 915 (9th Cir. 2001). Supervisors can be held liable if they play an affirmative part in the alleged deprivation of constitutional rights by setting in motion a series of acts by others which the supervisor knew or reasonably should have known would cause others to inflict the constitutional injury. Graves v. City of Coeur D'Alene, 339 F.3d 828, 848 (9th Cir. 2003) (citations omitted) (quoting Rise v. Oregon, 59 F.3d 1556, 1563 (9th Cir.1995)); Larez v. City of LA, 946 F.2d 630, 646 (9th Cir.1991)). "Supervisory liability is imposed against a supervisory official in his individual capacity for his own culpable action or inaction in the training, supervision, or control of his subordinates, for his acquiescence in the constitutional deprivations of which the complaint is made, or for conduct that showed a reckless or callous indifference to the rights of others." Menotti v. City of Seattle, 409 F.3d 1113, 1149 (9th Cir. 2005) (quoting Larez v. City of Los Angeles, 946 F.2d 630, 646 (9th Cir.1991)).
Defendant A.G. Brown is correct that he is entitled to dismissal based on the complaint's current allegations because Defendant A.G. Brown's liability is based only on the alleged actions of Defendant D.A. Cline and/or members of Defendant A.G. Brown's office under a theory of supervisory liability. The complaint alleges that Defendant A.G. Brown was responsible to supervise Defendant D.A. Cline. The complaint also alleges that Defendant A.G. Brown's "office" opposed Plaintiff's request for the testing of the 46 slides, and this opposition was based on the "office's" mistaken belief that the slides were only reference samples. At best, Plaintiff has alleged that Defendant A.G. Brown supervised Defendant D.A. Cline and that someone in Defendant A.G. Brown's office, whom Defendant A.G. Brown apparently also supervised, improperly sought to oppose the second request.Based on these minimal contentions, the complaint fails to state a cause of action against Defendant A.G. Brown. Plaintiff has failed to allege that Defendant A.G. Brown personally knew about Plaintiff's requests and what the slides contained, that Defendant A.G. Brown's policy or practice caused Defendant D.A. Cline or members of Defendant A.G. Brown's office to wrongly oppose Plaintiff's requests, or that Defendant A.G. Brown in any way set in motion a series of events that resulted in a denial of Plaintiff's constitutional rights. Thus, the complaint's current allegations do not state a civil rights cause of action against Defendant A.G. Brown.
In the opposition, Plaintiff argues that Defendant A.G. Brown is a proper Defendant to this action based on California Penal Code § 1405. Section 1405(a) provides as follows:
A person who was convicted of a felony and is currently serving a term of imprisonment may make a written motion before the trial court that entered the judgment of conviction in his or her case, for performance of forensic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing.
Cal. Penal Code § 1405(a). California Penal Code § 1405(c)(2) provides that notice of the motion shall be served on the Attorney General, the district attorney in the county of conviction, and, if known, the governmental agency or laboratory holding the evidence sought to be tested. Cal. Penal Code § 1405(c)(2). If the trial court orders testing, the results shall be fully disclosed to the person filing the motion, the district attorney and the Attorney General. Cal. Penal Code § 1405(d). Based on Section 1405's express terms, Plaintiff argues that the Attorney General is a proper Defendant to a civil rights action concerning the denial of testing pursuant to Section 1405.
This entire action is based on the new Ninth Circuit case of Osborne v. District Attorney's Office, 521 F.3d 1118 (9th Cir. 2008), for which the Supreme Court granted certiorari on November 3, 2008. See District Attorney's Office v. Osborne, 129 S.Ct. 488 (2008). In Osborn, the Ninth Circuit found that under the facts of Osborne, the plaintiff could bring an action under 42 U.S.C. §1983 based on his due process right to post-conviction access to potentially exculpatory DNA evidence. Osborne, 521 F.3d at 1122 & 1132. In setting the standard for requiring DNA evidence to be turned over post-conviction, the Ninth Circuit found as follows:
[W]e hold that the standard of materiality applicable to Osborne's claim for post-conviction access to evidence is no higher than a reasonable probability that, if exculpatory DNA evidence were disclosed to Osborne, he could prevail in an action for post-conviction relief. Taking into account Osborne's declared intention to file a freestanding claim of actual innocence, materiality would be established by a reasonable probability that Osborne could "affirmatively prove that he is probably innocent." Carriger, 132 F.3d at 476. And to paraphrase the Supreme Court's definition of "reasonable probability," this materiality standard does not require a demonstration by a preponderance that disclosure of the DNA evidence will ultimately enable Osborne to prove his innocence. See Kyles, 514 U.S. at 434, 115 S.Ct. 1555. The question is not whether Osborne would more likely than not be granted habeas relief with the evidence, but whether in the absence of the DNA evidence Osborne would receive a fair habeas hearing, understood as a hearing resulting in a judgment "worthy of confidence." Id.
Osborne, 521 F.3d at 1134. However, the Ninth Circuit concluded its analysis by holding it did not purport to set the standards by which all future cases must be judged, and that the court's holding was only addressed to the circumstances before it that presented a meritorious case for disclosure. Id. at 1142.
The defendants in Osborne were the Anchorage District Attorney's Office, then-District Attorney Susan Parkes, the Anchorage Police Department, and then-Chief of Police Walt Monegan. Osborne 521 F.3d at1126. However, who the proper defendant should be for such a due process claim was not clarified by the Ninth Circuit in Osborne nor has it been addressed in those few cases that have followed. The Ninth Circuit's reasoning in Osborne was based on the government's duty to turn over evidence in its possession that is favorable to a criminal defendant both before and after trial. Id. at 1128-30. The Ninth Circuit in dicta mentioned that the evidence in question in Osborne could be produced by the State of Alaska. See id. at 1142. Based on the Ninth Circuit's reasoning in Osborne it would appear the proper defendant to a due process claim based on the right to post-conviction DNA testing would be the individuals with the power to produce the relevant evidence. Pursuant to California Penal Code Section 1405 the California Attorney General may very well be one of these individuals, making him a proper Defendant pursuant to the duties set forth in Section 1405. However, this question can be answered at some future time. The complaint does not allege that Defendant A.G. Brown is connected to the denial of Plaintiff's constitutional rights based on Defendant A.G. Brown's responsibilities under Section 1405. Rather, the complaint currently premises Defendant A.G. Brown's liability on his status as a supervisor and not any duty and/or ability he may have to produce evidence for testing pursuant to Section 1405. Thus, based on the complaint's current allegations, Defendant A.G. Brown is entitled to dismissal.
Accordingly, the court ORDERS that:
1. Defendant Brown's motion to dismiss is GRANTED;
2. Defendant Brown is DISMISSED from this action with leave to amend; and
3. Any amended complaint may be filed within thirty days of this order's date of service.

Markus James is originally from Virginia and the DC area, where his first musical memory, from the age of four, is of an old, blind blues singer he saw many times playing on a sidewalk. He first encountered West African stringed music at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival when he was mesmerized by the Gambian Kora player and singer, Alhaji Bai Konte. Markus settled in Northern California, writing and recording in rock and R&B styles while also pursuing his interests in African, Indian, and Gamelan music. He travelled in West Africa and also Haiti, studying traditional ensemble drumming, before first visiting Mali in 1994, when he made his way to the village of Niafounke to meet the legendary "Malian Bluesman", Ali Farka Toure. It was then that Markus first recorded original, Blues-based songs with Wassoulou musician Solo Sidibe, which became the "where you wanna be" album, released 6 years later. He has produced several programs for PRI's Afropop Worldwide, notably "Ali Farka Toure: Live From Niafounke". Markus has returned to Mali many times, where he has written and recorded blues-influenced music with traditional Malian musicians, notably his 2002 release "nightbird", and 2005's album and film "Timbuktoubab", which have been warmly received by critics in the US and Europe. He has performed at the Festival In The Desert, near Timbuktu, in 2003, 2004, and 2006.
Markus' collaborations in Timbuktu with Hamma Sankare (Calabash player on Ali Farka Toure's tours and albums), Hassi Sare (master of the one-stringed Njarka violin), and Solo Sidibe (who plays the Kamele N'Goni, the hunter's harp of the Wassoulou people) are the subject of the documentary film and CD / DVD "Timbuktoubab". The film has been presented by 3 Film Festivals, broadcast frequently on national satellite channel Link TV (Direct TV and Dish networks), and on many PBS stations. The album spent 10 weeks on the CMJ New World radio top 20 chart, reflecting the programming tastes of over 200 music hosts.
Markus' latest release, "Calabash Blues", includes tributes to Blues legends Skip James and Howlin Wolf; each song features the traditional sound and rhythms of the calabash, recorded at the source of the ancient roots of Blues music. Calabash Blues spent 17 weeks in the top 20 of the Roots Blues airplay chart, with tracks featured on the nationally syndicated House of Blues Radio Hour, Blues Deluxe, and the BBC's True Blues.

COLO suggestions in Denver?
Hi guys, we recently moved our company to Denver Colorado. We currently have about 40 servers with Softlayer, and it's time to buy our own hardware and colo it. We use a consistent 100-150Mbps worth of bandwidth for our app. We're just a few blocks from Fortrust here, so i'm considering them, but would love to hear other opinions/suggestions.
I toured Fortatrust a few years back, it's a very nice facility. There are several facility types in Denver, from the budget low-end to the higher end enterprise Savvis type facilities. You shoudn't have an issue finding a suitable provider.
Do you need remote hands? Can you source your own bandwidth or do you want your DC provider to provide it all for you?
Good luck in your search!

Remote hands would probably be nice in case anything happens and i'm not around. We're only a few blocks away from Fortrust, but you never know. On the bandwidth front, I would rather the DC provide that as well. Once less thing I have to worry about. We definitely don't want to go with a low budget provider, but we also don't need to go overboard.

Fortrust is a reputable company. There are a large number of facilities in Denver, so besides Handy and Latisys already mentioned there's also H5, Internap, Viawest, Coresite, Springs Hosting, Hostmysite. Most of the major carriers have colo options there as well. Best of luck.Alan Howard, Chief Researcher- "WiredRE has advised 2 of the top 3 global telecom firms and 50% of the top banks in the US."

I would also checkout ViaWest. They are one of the largest in the country but keep a low profile in my opinion. Great company but can be on the pricey side. They have 4 or 5 facilities in scattered in the Denver area.

Leimu, "flame" in German, spreads the reason of its name: warm and comfortable light for your living room. The unusual chalice shape of the lampshade surprises, already before the second exciting detail comes into effect.
The concrete base makes up a contrast to the weightless, transparent lampshade – a design, which connects sensibility with strength. The designer Magnus Pettersen explained about it: "The connection of concrete and glass is famous in architecture, but not always really attractive. I wanted to create a soft combination of both opposites in a lamp, which emphasized the interplay of warm and cold elements." The born Norwegian is known for the combination of counterparts, since his style is also called "industrial luxury".
It wasn't easy to make a harmonic interplay of socket and lampshade regarding technique. Finally, glass is filigree and concrete massive, making it difficult to ensure a flowing mixture. Thanks to Iittala's experience, this problem wasn't difficult to resolve, since Iittala represents competence in glass processing without comparison.

Anyone with Experience in D-link firewalls
We have some dedicated server customers looking for a hardware based firewall solution. This group of customers, however, is looking for something less expensive than our Pix offerings. We were playing around with the Dlink dfl80 firewall as a possibility. We are yet to get one of these things working properly. Has anyone had any luck with this product? I have a fealing they are only suited for a home computer but was hoping to give my customers a solution that didnt cost them much at all. Any information on your experience with Dlink or anybody who has them working in a similar environment, I would love to hear from you. Thanks in advance.Ceridius Networks Sales

I've found DLink hardware to be less than satisfactory. That's just my experience anyways.
It's worth mentioning, you can get dirt cheap low spec PCs which you could load Linux up on. Set up correctely you could route traffic through that and have the operability to provide traffic statistics to your customers.

At comdex they had different hardware firewalls set up (cisco booth) they payed $100 if you could hack them in 10 minutes or less. All you had on the systems were standard programmers tools. There was a line of no less than 100 ppl at any time.
Dlink was hacked countless times, as well as many of the other cheap firewalls.
The cisco firewall didnt get hacked once though... although they gave away about 25,000 that weekend.
Get a software firewall such as checkpoint, sygate that has free updates reguarly, or invest in an expesive hardware firewall that will really do the job such as sonicwall, cisco, etc.
Otherwise you are wasting your money.

Comments about Oreck Commercial Bagged Vacuum:
I am not thrilled with it as it is sooo lightweight I feel it cannot do the job. I have had dogs and I am afraid that one day I will find dog hair embedded in my carpets and it will burn out the vacuum cleaner!
Comments about Oreck Commercial Bagged Vacuum:
I own an Oreck XL upright vac. I used to clean houses and used the client's vac. I have seen every kind of vac out there. Some of the junkie, some of them just so so, some of the too heavy to cart around and none of them really very good. So I bought an Oreck XL and I know they are the best. I consider myself an expert when it comes to upright vacs and Oreck XL is the best. Don't waste your money on anything else.
Comments about Oreck Commercial Bagged Vacuum:
Oreck is the only vacuum I have found that isn't disposable. Any other brand doesn't last six months in my house. The Oreck does just what it says it will do without any problems. This is the same brand used in hotels.

Breast Lift
Breast Lift WORTH IT RATING* DETAILS
in the last 24 months
in the last 12 months
over all time
Mastopexy (commonly referred to as a breast lift without implants or a breast uplift in the UK) restores shape and volume that may have been lost due to age, weight loss, or nursing. With most breast lifts, the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position in order to create a natural look. If you want larger (as well as perkier) breasts, a breast lift with implants might be worth researching.

The dishonesty of words illustrates the dishonesty of America's wars.

America's Post-Democratic Military
In the decades since the draft ended in 1973, a strange new military has emerged in the United States. Think of it, if you will, as a post-democratic force that prides itself on its warrior ethos rather than the old-fashioned citizen-soldier ideal. As such, it's a military increasingly divorced...

If you've gotten a raw deal from a retailer, the law is often on your side, but many consumers are unaware of these protections when trying to solve disputes.
People often make the wrong assumptions about what the laws allow, or they rely on misinformation from friends, family, or merchants.
"There are recourses available to consumers, but often people don't know about them," said Noreen Perrotta, Finance Editor, Consumer Reports Money Adviser. "From getting rain checks from your local supermarket when they are out of the spaghetti sauce they advertised as half off to doing a credit-card chargeback after your refrigerator dies three months after the warranty expires, in many cases, consumers may have more rights than they think."
Here are some common scenarios and tips from Consumer Reports Money Adviser experts on how to get satisfaction:
Scenario 1
• In mid-November, you order an MP3 player online for your nephew's holiday gift. The merchant promises you'll have it on time, but the gift arrives two days after the family's holiday gathering.
The law:
The federal Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Trade Regulation Rule requires stores to ship telephone, mail, fax, and Internet orders within 30 days. If the merchant promises an earlier shipment date, it must meet that deadline. If the retailer has a reasonable basis for not getting your order out on time, it must obtain your consent to the delay. And if you don't respond or consent, the merchant must issue a refund. Merchants have more time -- 50 days instead of 30 -- to make the shipment if you're also applying for credit.
You should know:
The clock begins running on shipping deadlines when the seller receives a properly completed order, including any advance payments. So if you're expecting a shipment and the retailer tries to contact you about a delay, be sure to respond or your order will be canceled, even if you still want it.
Scenario 2
• Your supermarket advertises your favorite spaghetti sauce at half off. When you get there, the store tells you it ran out and you're out of luck.
The law:
The federal Retail Food Store Rule requires grocers to provide rain checks on advertised items or to substitute an equivalent product. But stores can get around that by demonstrating they ordered sufficient quantities to meet reasonably anticipated demand.
You should know:
The federal law applies only to food stores, but states may have broader rules. For example, Connecticut's rain-check law applies to sellers of most products, with exceptions for seasonal items, products covered by store- or department-wide discounts, clearance items, and automobiles, among others.
Scenario 3
• Your new TV breaks down just weeks after you bought it. The company says it will fix it under the manufacturer's warranty, but you have to ship it back at your own cost.
The law:
Although that warranty may require you to pay for shipping, you should expect to get what you paid for without paying additional costs. If neither the retailer nor manufacturer will make good, you might be able to cancel the sale under the implied warranty of merchantability -- this is an unwritten state-mandated promise that your purchase will perform as commonly
expected and will last a reasonable amount of time. Again, this is where a chargeback or the threat of legal action might help.
You should know:
If you have a full warranty instead of a limited one, you cannot be charged for shipping or reinstallation. And a full warranty cannot be limited to the first purchaser of the product.
Scenario 3
• After telling a salesperson that you needed a washing machine that can handle 15-pound loads, you bought the one he recommended, only to discover later that it can't. Now the store won't take it back.
The law:
By providing a machine that doesn't meet your stated needs, the merchant breached an implied warranty: that of fitness for a particular purpose. You have a right to cancel the sale. If the store won't honor your request to take the washer back, cancel the sale on your credit card, if possible. You may need to initiate (or at least threaten) legal action.
You should know:
It can be difficult proving that you specified a certain requirement to the salesperson. So it's best to verify a product's capability or get the store's written assurance before you buy.
Scenario 4
• You go to the bridal salon to pick up your wedding dress only to find that the store has disappeared, along with your deposit.
The law:
If you paid by credit card, you probably can contest the charges. If you used cash, check, or debit card and the store went bankrupt, you can make a claim with the bankruptcy court as an unsecured creditor. You'll probably be eligible for priority status for up to $2,425 of the amount owed. But you may end up with pennies on the dollar after waiting months or years.
You should know:
Check with your local or state consumer-affairs officials, who often intervene on consumers' behalf in such situations.

Audience Reviews for Future Shock
Future Shock (Eric Parkinson et al., 1993) [originally posted 15Feb2001] This could have been a fantastic movie. It's an anthology film set around the office of a therapist who's come up with a new method of hypnotherapy. Over the course of the day, he sees three of his truly screwed-up patients, subjects them to the hypnosis, and waits. We get to watch what happens during the waiting. The writing is just shy of good. The acting is just shy of good (save a few memorable performances, most notably from Bill Paxton, back when his contract still allowed him to play sleazy bad guys; he's as good and rowdy in here as he is in Near Dark). The production is just shy of good. Unfortunately, it all adds up to bad, albeit bad in a kind of endearing way. The potential in each of these stories tends to get in the way of the sheer, mindless enjoyment. The exception is the last story, "Mr. Petrified Forest," a shaggy-dog story about a guy having a near-death experience who can't remember how he got outside the gates of heaven. Ah, the potential. It's worth a free viewing if it pops up on TV, but don't go out of your way. **

Murphy, Kunz, Thole - Named to the AFL All-Star game
By Dominick DiFucci ,
Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories
Three Minor League Mets -- Daniel Murphy, catcher Josh Thole and reliever Eddie Kunz -- have been named to the All-Star team in the Arizona Fall League. Murphy is listed as an outfielder on the roster of the American Division team, though he has played primarily second base for the Peoria Saguaros. Murphy was batting .385 with nine RBIs and 12 runs in 10 games through Thursday. Bobby Parnell, who made his big league debut, pitching in relief, for the Mets in September, allowed one hit and struck out five in four innings in the Saguaros' 8-1 victory against the Surprise Rafters Wednesday. Pitching as a starter, Parnell has a 2-0 record and 2.84 ERA in three starts (6 1/3 innings).

Worst monthly job losses in nearly five years449 views
Canada sheds 31,200 jobs in July: Statistics Canada
OTTAWA — Canada served up two unsavoury batches of economic numbers Friday as the latest trade and jobs figures provided further evidence of the country's struggles.
On employment, Statistics Canada's labour force survey said the market lost 31,200 net jobs in July, an unexpectedly steep decline that included the biggest one-month drop in full-time work in nearly five years.
On trade, the fresh figures showed Canada's deficit with the world — the balance between imports and exports — ballooned to a record level of $3.6 billion in June.
"The overall story here is the Canadian economy is barely growing," BMO chief economist Doug Porter said Friday.
"And the drag on the economy is in the export sector, the one area of the economy where I think there were very high hopes. We're basically still incredibly dependent on consumer spending and housing to keep pulling the economy along."
Combined, Porter said the disappointing jobs and trade numbers increase the likelihood that the Bank of Canada will decrease its already-low benchmark interest rate before the end of the year to help boost the economy.
After Friday's releases, Porter said he thinks the chances of a rate cut before January are 25%, up from 10%.
Looking at the labour data, Statistics Canada's survey found the national unemployment rate for July crept up to 6.9% from 6.8% the previous month.
The country shed 71,400 net full-time jobs in July — a number partly offset by an increase of 40,200 in less desirable, part-time positions. Statistics Canada said full-time work hadn't suffered a one-month blow that big since it lost 80,300 positions in October 2011.
Public sector work plummeted by 42,000 positions, compared to the labour force's addition of 13,600 private sector jobs.
The survey also found that paid employee positions fell by 28,400 last month, while self-employed work — often considered more precarious — declined by 2,700.
But Porter said the performance of the overall labour force may not have been quite as negative as the headline number suggests.
Pointing to the July drop of 24,200 public administration jobs, he said the decline could have been directly tied to the roughly 25,000 temporary positions created in April and May for the census.
Porter also underlined another possible "quirk" in the employment data. He noted that Ontario showed a drop last month of 37,800 positions in educational services, which could be due to a seasonal adjustment involving teachers that he has seen reflected in the data in the past.
He expects those numbers to recover over the coming months.
With the July decline in educational services jobs, Ontario suffered the biggest loss of any province. Its labour market lost 36,100 net positions, 18,900 of which were full time.
In Alberta, where the economy has been hit hard by low oil prices and May wildfires that temporarily shuttered some crude production, the unemployment rate rose 0.7 percentage points to 8.6%. The rate reached its highest mark since September 1994.
Overall, the Canadian labour market had 0.4% more jobs than 12 months earlier. During that same period, however, full-time work dropped 0.2% while part-time jobs climbed 3.1%.
"Looking at it from a very big picture, the reality is that we've had very modest job growth over the last 12 months," said Porter, who thought the trade numbers were even more "disturbing."
Statistics Canada said exports fell 4.7% in the second quarter to $124 billion, the steepest slide since the second quarter of 2009 during the Great Recession.
"The extent of the drop — that's a bit surprising," said Krishen Rangasamy, a National Bank senior economist.
As a result, Canada's quarterly trade deficit expanded to a record $10.7 billion in the second quarter, up from $6.4 billion in the first quarter.
"Basically, what that means is that trade is going to subtract from growth in the second quarter and is basically reinforcing our view that Canadian GDP actually contracted about 1.5% annualized in the second quarter," he said.
Rangasamy, however, is predicting a "strong rebound" in exports in the second half of 2016, thanks to the still-weak Canadian dollar and the strengthening United States economy.
On Friday, the latest release of U.S. jobs data offered evidence of ongoing economic improvements south of the border.
The country added 255,000 jobs last month as the unemployment rate stayed at 4.9%, the U.S. Labor Department said.
OTTAWA — A quick look at July unemployment (previous month in brackets):
Unemployment rate: 6.9% (6.8%)

14 July 2015
Research has found that treating pregnant women who are classed as obese with medication has no effect on the birth weight of babies.
The study found that treating overweight mothers-to-be with the diabetes drug metformin, which helps regulate blood sugar does not reduce the weight of the baby.
It is thought that exposure to excess blood sugar causes babies to gain too much weight in the womb, which then puts them at risk of being obese later in life as well as being in danger to illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Doctors hoped that by controlling blood sugar they could manage the birth weight of babies.
Looking at 226 obese pregnant women who were on medication from the second trimester, the team found there was no difference in the weight of babies born to mothers who received
the treatment, compared with 223 women who received a placebo.
However, it did help reduce blood sugar levels in the new mums and lowered the levels of other markers that have been linked to pre-eclampsia and premature births.
The study was published in the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology.

SELWYN NIEVESv.GREYHOUND LINES, INC., ET AL.
Now before the Court is the Motion for Summary Judgment (the "Motion") of Defendant Servicemaster, TBS Division ("Servicemaster"). For the reasons discussed below, the Motion will be granted.
This action arises from a workplace injury sustained by Plaintiff Selwyn M. Nieves ("Plaintiff") on July 4, 2004. As alleged in the Complaint, Defendant/Third-Party Plaintiff Mount Corporation ("Mount") was, at all times relevant to this action, the owner of a maintenance facility (the "Greyhound Maintenance Center") located at 710 N. Delaware Avenue in Philadelphia. Compl. ¶ 3. Pursuant to a written service agreement (the "Agreement") with Defendant/Third-Party Plaintiff Greyhound Lines, Inc. ("Greyhound"), Servicemaster was responsible for maintaining the premises of the Greyhound Maintenance Center. Id. ¶ 4.*fn1
Plaintiff alleges that on July 4, 2004, "there existed a dangerous condition on certain concrete steps situated in the Greyhound Maintenance Center, to wit, a slippery substance which was allowed and permitted . . . to be on the steps with no warnings, barricades or similar precautions." Id. ¶ 5.*fn2 At approximately 11:00 p.m., "while lawfully descending said concrete steps," Plaintiff fell as a result of the dangerous condition. Id. ¶ 6. Due to this fall, he suffered various injuries requiring ongoing medical care and became "unable to attend to his usual occupation at loss of income for which damages are demanded." Id. ¶¶ 16-18.
On June 26, 2006, Plaintiff filed suit in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas against Greyhound, Mount and Servicemaster, and on July 12, 2006, Greyhound removed the action to this Court. On March 27, 2007, Greyhound and Mount filed an Answer as well as a Third-Party Complaint against ARAMARK and Servicemaster. On January 8, 2008, ARAMARK filed a Motion for Summary Judgment against Greyhound and Mount, and on January 31, 2008, Greyhound and Mount filed a Motion for Summary Judgment against Plaintiff. The Court granted ARAMARK's Motion for Summary Judgment and denied the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Greyhound and Mount. Nieves v. Greyhound Lines, Inc., 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 65623 (E.D. Pa. Aug. 26, 2008). Thereafter, Servicemaster filed the instant Motion.
In deciding a motion for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56, the test is "whether there is a genuine issue of material fact and, if not, whether the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Med. Protective Co. v. Watkins, 198 F.3d 100, 103 (3d Cir. 1999) (quoting Armbruster v. Unisys Corp., 32 F.3d 768, 777 (3d Cir. 1994)). "[S]ummary judgment will not lie if the dispute about a material fact is 'genuine,' that is, if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). The Court must examine the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party and resolve all reasonable inferences in that party's favor. Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986).However, "there can be 'no genuine issue as to any material fact' . . . [where the non-moving party's] complete failure of proof concerning an essential element of [its] case necessarily renders all other facts immaterial." Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23 (1986).
The party moving for summary judgment bears the initial burden of showing the basis for its motion. See Shields v. Zuccarini, 254 F.3d 476, 481 (3d Cir. 2001). If the movant meets that burden, the onus then "shifts to the non-moving party to set forth specific facts showing the existence of [a genuine issue of material fact] for trial." Id.
Servicemaster argues that it is entitled to summary judgment against Plaintiff, Greyhound, and Mount because at the time of the accident, ARAMARK had assumed its contractual obligations and was therefore responsible for maintenance of the Greyhound Maintenance Center. See Service Agreement, attached to Mot. at Ex. B. Accordingly, Servicemaster argues, it cannot be liable to any party for injuries Plaintiff sustained at the facility because it no longer had any connection to the premises.
A. Plaintiff
Plaintiff contends that ARAMARK did not assume Servicemaster's obligations until after the accident and therefore, summary judgment should be denied. In support of his argument, Plaintiff cites a portion of his deposition transcript in which he testified that he was employed by Servicemaster at the time of his accident. Mar. 21, 2007 Dep. of Selwyn Nieves 39, attached to Pl.'s Resp. at Ex. A.
Plaintiff's concession that "at the time of the incident [he] was still patiently [sic] employed by Servicemaster TBS Division," Pl.'s Resp. 1, is fatal to any claims he has against Servicemaster because an employee's only remedy against his employer for a workplace injury is worker's compensation. See, e.g., 77 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 481(a); Matczak v. Frankford Candy & Chocolate Co., 136 F.3d 933, 940 (3d Cir. 1997) ("Pennsylvania's workers' compensation statute provides the sole remedy 'for injuries allegedly sustained during the course of employment.'" (quoting Dugan v. Bell Tel. of Pa., 876 F. Supp. 713, 723 (W.D. Pa. 1994))). Therefore, even if Servicemaster had not relinquished its duties at the facility and in fact employed Plaintiff at the time of the accident, his negligence claims against Servicemaster for compensatory damages would fail as a matter of law.
Although Plaintiff now disputes Servicemaster's claim that ARAMARK was his employer at the time of the accident, this dispute is immaterial because his Complaint fails under either scenario. If, as Servicemaster contends, ARAMARK was Plaintiff's employer at the time of the accident, Servicemaster would not be liable to him because it had no responsibility with respect to the Greyhound Maintenance Center. If, as Plaintiff now contends, Servicemaster was his employer at the time of the accident, his claims against Servicemaster are barred by the Pennsylvania Worker's Compensation Act ("WCA").*fn3 In short, Plaintiff is attempting to sue either his employer or a party not responsible for the premises at the time of the accident. Neither claim is cognizable, and summary judgment is therefore appropriate with respect to Plaintiff's claims against Servicemaster.
B. Greyhound and Mount
Neither Greyhound nor Mount has filed any opposition to the instant Motion. Greyhound and Mount asserted in their response to ARAMARK's Motion for Summary Judgment granted on August 26, 2008 that ARAMARK, not Servicemaster, was responsible for the Greyhound Maintenance Center at the time of the accident. But even if Servicemaster were responsible, their claims against Servicemaster would be barred by the employer immunity provision in the WCA. See 77 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 481(b); Clark v. Williamette Indus., 918 F. Supp. 139, 141 (W.D. Pa. 1996) (citing Heckendorn v. Consol. Rail Corp., 465 A.2d 609, 610 (Pa. 1983)).*fn4
Accordingly, summary judgment is appropriate with respect to Greyhound and Mount's claims against Servicemaster.
Because there is no genuine issue of material fact for trial, the Court will grant the Motion. An appropriate Order follows.
AND NOW, this 16th day of January, 2009, upon consideration of Servicemaster, TBS Division's Motion for Summary Judgment (docket no. 37) and Plaintiff's Response thereto (docket no. 38), and for the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum, it is ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED. Accordingly, Servicemaster, TBS Division is DISMISSED from this action.
