ERIKA RENEE RILEY-JACKSON, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.CASINO QUEEN, INC., A CORPORATION, DEFENDANT.
I. Introduction
On September 4, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a three-count employment discrimination action against Defendant, Casino Queen, Inc., under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e, et seq., as amended, the Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-109, et seq., and under state common law based upon this Court's pendent jurisdiction. The action now proceeds on Plaintiffs' second amended complaint ("the complaint"), filed November 12, 2007, which contains 151 counts.
Plaintiffs, who are African-American employees and former employees of Defendant, allege that they were subjected to unlawful racial discrimination, harassment and a hostile work environment as a result of Defendant's unlawful conduct. Plaintiffs seek an award of compensatory damages for past and future pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses. Plaintiffs also seek punitive damages.
Defendant moves to dismiss Plaintiffs' complaint, filed November 12, 2007, pursuant to Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Doc. 26). Defendant also asserts that Plaintiffs have failed to meet the factual requirements of notice-pleading under FED. RULE CIV. P. 8(a). The matter is fully brief and ready for disposition.
II. Applicable Legal Standards
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) and 12(b)(6) govern motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim. To satisfy the notice pleading requirements of Rule 8(a)(2), a complaint need only include a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief. In other words, a plaintiff must provide the grounds of his entitlement to relief by saying enough "to raise a right to relief above the speculative level." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, -- U.S. --, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1965-66 (2007).
In Bell Atlantic v. Twombly, the United States Supreme Court "retooled federal pleading standards," and retired the oft-incanted standard from Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 47 (1957), that a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appeared "beyond doubt" that the plaintiff could prove "no set of facts in support of his claim" which would entitle him to relief. Killingsworth v. HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A., 507 F.3d 614, 618 (7th Cir. 2007).
In assessing whether a complaint states a claim upon which relief can be granted (thereby escaping Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal), the district court accepts all well-pleaded allegations as true and draws all favorable inferences in plaintiff's favor. Id.See also Erickson v. Pardus, -- U.S. --, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200 (2007).
Bell Atlantic called into question dicta contained in (and abrogated the holdings of) cases such as Kolupa v. Roselle Park District, 438 F.3d 713, 715 (7th Cir. 2006), which had declared Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal proper only "when it would be necessary to contradict the complaint in order to prevail on the merits."*fn1 No longer does it suffice for a complaint to avoid foreclosing possible bases for relief; the complaint must indicate that the plaintiff has a right to relief. EEOC v. Concentra Health Services, Inc., 496 F.3d 773, 777 (7th Cir. 2007).
Specific facts are not necessary for a complaint to survive a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. Jervis v. Mitcheff, -- F.3d --, 2007 WL 4355433 (7th Cir. Dec. 13, 2007). But labels and conclusions alone will not suffice. Rather, the complaint must contain enough facts to state a claim that is plausible on its face, and the complaint must give the defendants "fair notice" of the grounds on which plaintiff's claim rests. Killingsworth, 507 F.3d at 618.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) requires a court to dismiss an action when it lacks subject matter jurisdiction.United Phosphorus, Ltd. v. Angus Chemical Co., 322 F.3d 942, 946 (7th Cir. 2003). "If subject matter jurisdiction is not evident on the face of the complaint, the motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) would be analyzed as any other motion to dismiss, by assuming for purposes of the motion that the allegations in the complaint are true." Id. The burden of proof in regards to a Rule 12(b)(1) motion is "on the party asserting jurisdiction." Id. (citing Mortensen v. First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass'n, 549 F.2d 884 (3d Cir. 1977).
III. Analysis
A. Timely Filing of EEOC Charges (Counts III, XI, XVI, XXIII, XXIV and CXLIX)
Defendant contends that these counts must be dismissed as time-barred, in that Plaintiffs, Arterbridge (III), Elliott (XI), Hall (XVI), Jackson (XXIII) and Johnson (XXIV and CXLIX), failed to file timely charges with the EEOC encompassing the acts of which they complain.
Plaintiffs respond that aggrieved individuals can "piggyback" onto the timely-filed charges of other plaintiffs under the "single-filing" rule. According to Plaintiffs, the earliest timely filed charge of discrimination was filed with the EEOC on June 12, 2006. Plaintiffs contend that those who experienced the same or similar discriminatory conduct on or after August 16, 2005, (within the 300-day period prior to the earliest timely-filed charge) may join the lawsuit. Finally, Plaintiffs seek leave to amend the complaint because of a typographical error regarding Arterbridge's date of termination from employment.
In order to proceed under Title VII, Plaintiffs must have filed a timely charge with the EEOC, have received a right-to-sue letter from the EEOC and have acted upon it. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(b) (a charge of discrimination must be filed with the EEOC "by or on behalf of a person claiming to be aggrieved"); 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1); Babrocky v. Jewel Food Co., 773 F.2d 857, 863 (7th Cir. 1985) (citing Alexander v. Gardner-Denver Co., 415 U.S. 36, 47 (1974)); Doe v. Oberweis Dairy, 456 F.3d 704, 708 (7th Cir. 2006).
However, under the single-filing rule, a non-complying plaintiff may join a suit initiated by a complying plaintiff and may be exempt from filing an EEOC charge if his claim "arises out of the same unlawful conduct" as those of other plaintiffs with timely-filed charges. Horton v. Jackson County Bd. of County Comm'rs, 343 F.3d 897, 900 (7th Cir. 2003). Parties who have not filed charges with the EEOC may join as plaintiffs in a civil action with plaintiffs who have filed EEOC charges; the sole restriction is that the only issues properly before the Court are those which the charging parties have standing to raise. Muka v. Nicolet Paper Co., 452 F. Supp. 491 (E.D. Wis. 1978), cited with approval in Ekanem v. Health & Hospital Corp. of Marion City, Indiana, 724 F.2d 563 (7th Cir. 1983); see also Liberles v. County of Cook, 709 F.2d 1122 (7th Cir. 1983) (union members were allowed to seek relief in federal courts based on EEOC charge filed by union leader). EEOC charges are to be interpreted with liberality; nevertheless, "the only claims of discrimination which are cognizable are those that are 'like or reasonably related to the allegations of the charge and growing out of such allegations.'"Schnellbaecher v. Baskin Clothing Co., 887 F.2d 124, 127 (7th Cir. 1989) (citing Babrocky, 773 F.2d at 864).
"[T]he filing of a timely charge with the EEOC is, as the Court noted in Zipes v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 455 U.S. 385, 393 (1982), like a statute of limitations; and if there are two victims of the same or similar wrongful activity and one sues, his suit does not toll the statute of limitations for the other to sue." Horton, 343 F.3d at 897. Thus, the single-filing rule cannot revive a stale claim. The rule is "inapposite to time-barred claims [of former employees]" because employers are not on notice or afforded "an opportunity to conciliate[ ] the claims of long departed employees." EEOC v. Harvey L. Walner & Assoc., 1995 WL 470233, *4 (N.D.Ill. 1995); see also EEOC v. J.D. Streett & Co. Inc., 2006 WL 839444, at *2 (S.D.Ill. 2006). Even in class actions, which were identified in Horton as the context for the most liberal application of the single-filing rule, 343 F.3d at 900, "only those [class members] who could have filed a charge at or after the time a charge was filed by the class representative can be included in the class." Id.
First, as to Arterbridge, the Court finds it disingenuous that Defendant continues to argue in its reply that Arterbridge's claim is "expressly based upon that February 3, 2003 termination from employment." In Plaintiffs' response, they indicated that this a typographical error and that Defendant is well aware that Arterbridge is a current employee. Moreover, Arterbridge's EEOC Charge of Discrimination clearly shows that the latest discrimination took place on March 21, 2006, and that Arterbridge checked "continuing action." Doc. 20, Exhibit 2, p. 5. The Court will grant Plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint to reflect the correct date.
Second, the Court has reviewed the EEOC charges of Arterbridge, Elliott, Hall, Jackson and Johnson and finds that they are reasonably related to and grow out of the allegations in the complaint and the charges of their co-plaintiffs. The complaint alleges that Defendant entered into a course and pattern of conduct whereby it discriminated against Plaintiffs based on race and failed and/or refused to take action to terminate and correct racial harassment, discrimination and hostile work environment, as well as retaliating against African-American employees for exercising their civil rights and for complaining and/or reporting racial discrimination.
Arterbridge's EEOC complaint alleges discrimination based on race and color and further alleges that Defendant retaliated against him. Doc. 20, Attachment 2, at 5-7. Arterbridge provides no earliest date upon which discrimination took place but indicates that the latest date was March 21, 2006. Id. at 5. Arterbridge claims that he was verbally abused and unnecessarily disciplined, was discriminated against in job retention and suffered disparate treatment in his opportunities for advancement. Id. at 6-7.
Elliott's EEOC complaint alleges discrimination based on race and color and further alleges that Defendant retaliated against him. Id. at 14-16. Like Arterbridge, Elliott provides no earliest date upon which discrimination took place but indicates that the latest date was November 23, 2003. Id. at 14. In the fuller context of Elliott's charge, it appears that his claim is not time-barred, however, because he alleges continuing action and appears to still be employed by Defendant. He claims that he suffered disparate treatment in his opportunities for advancement, in that six times co-workers whom he had trained were promoted, and he was passed over for advancement. Id. at 15- 16.
Hall's EEOC complaint alleges discrimination based on race, beginning on July 3, 2006. Doc. 20, Attachment 3, at 4. She claims that she was suspended and terminated from her employment with Defendant because of her race.
Jackson's EEOC complaint alleges discrimination based on race and sex beginning July 3, 2000, with January 31, 2006, reported as the latest date discrimination took place. Id. at 7. She allegesthat she was subjected to different terms and conditions of employment from white and male employees and was terminated from her employment because of her race and sex.*fn2 Id.
Johnson's EEOC complaint alleges race-based discrimination beginning July 3, 2006. Id. at 8. She alleges that she was harassed, suspended and terminated because of her race. Id.
It is manifestly evident that Arterbridge's, Elliott's, Hall's, Jackson's and Johnson's EEOC complaints raise issues that are "like or reasonably related to the allegations of the charge and grow out of such allegations." None of the claims are stale, in that Arterbridge and Elliott checked "continuing action" and Hall, Jackson and Johnson indicated that discrimination occurred in 2006, which falls within the period identified by Plaintiffs, i. e., on or after August 16, 2005.
In sum, the Court concludes that these Plaintiffs can piggyback onto the timely filed charges of other Plaintiffs herein under the single-filing rule.
B. Failure to Satisfy the Requirements of the Single-Filing Rule (Counts II, V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIV, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXV, XXVII, XXVIII, XXX, XXXI, XXXIII, XXXIV, XXXV, XXXVI, XXXVII, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XL, XLII, XLV, XLVI, VII, CXLVI, CL and CLI)
Defendant contends that the above Counts fail to allege any facts that satisfy the requirements of the single-filing rule. Plaintiffs respond that they have more than satisfied the pleading requirements to survive Defendant's motion to dismiss.
To reiterate the standard for surviving a motion to dismiss, supra, Plaintiffs need not plead specific facts, but the complaint must contain enough facts to state a claim that is plausible on its face, and the complaint must give the defendants "fair notice" of the grounds on which Plaintiffs' claim rests. "The intent of the liberal notice pleading system is to ensure that claims are determined on their merits rather than through missteps in pleading."Concentra Health Services, 496 F.3d at 779-80 (citing 2 JAMES WM. MOORE, ET AL., MOORE'S FEDERAL PRACTICE § 8.04 (3d ed. 2006); see also Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 514 (2002); Connor v. Ill. Dep't of Natural Res., 413 F.3d 675, 679 (7th Cir. 2005)). "Requiring a plaintiff to plead detailed facts interfere[d] with that goal in multiple ways." Id.
First, and most importantly, the number of factual details potentially relevant to any case is astronomical, and requiring a plaintiff to plead facts that are not obviously important and easy to catalogue would result in 'needless controversies' about what is required that could serve only to delay or prevent trial.... Second, a plaintiff might sometimes have a right to relief without knowing every factual detail supporting its right; requiring the plaintiff to plead those unknown details before discovery would improperly deny the plaintiff the opportunity to prove its claim. Id. (internal citations and citations omitted).
Under this standard, it is sufficient that Plaintiffs have specifically alleged that they are or were, on specific dates, African-American employees of the Casino Queen, who were subjected to ongoing, continuous acts of racial discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation, intimidation and other unlawful racially-motivated acts that occurred within the statutory period of a timely-filed administrative charge. These counts have sufficiently satisfied federal notice-pleading requirements to survive a motion to dismiss.
C. Illinois Human Rights Act ("IHRA") Preemption (Counts XLVIII-XCVI)
Defendant contends that Counts XLVIII through XCVI (intentional infliction of emotional distress) are preempted by the IHRA, 775 ILCS §§ 5/8-111(C), 5/2-102(D), and as a result, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over those claims. It is Defendant's contention that Plaintiffs' emotional distress claims rely upon the same factual allegations as their claims of racial discrimination and that, as such, Plaintiffs have shown no independent basis for these claims.
Plaintiffs failed to respond to Defendant's argument and, perhaps, have thus tacitly conceded to it. Defendant's reply makes no mention of this signal failure and does not suggest that the failure to respond should be considered an admission of the merits of the motion. SDIL-LR 7.1(c). Whether it should be thus considered is within the discretion of the Court. Id. The Court will resolve this issue on the merits rather than simply dismiss it based on Plaintiffs' failure to respond.
The IHRA prohibits various forms employment discrimination. It specifically provides that it is a civil rights violation "[f]or any employer to refuse to hire, to segregate, or to act with respect to recruitment, hiring, promotion, renewal of employment, selection for training or apprenticeship, discharge, discipline, tenure or terms, privileges or conditions of employment on the basis of unlawful discrimination[.]" 775 ILCS 5/2-102. The Act further provides, "Except as otherwise provided by law, no court of this state shall have jurisdiction over the subject of an alleged civil rights violation other than as set forth in this Act." 775 ILCS 5/8-111. The Seventh Circuit has interpreted this latter provision to preempt all state law claims "seeking redress for a 'civil rights violation' within the meaning of [the IHRA]." Krocka v. City of Chicago, 203 F.3d 507, 516 (7th Cir. 2000) (citing Geise v. Phoenix Co. of Chicago, Inc., 639 N.E.2d 1273, 1276 (Ill. 1994).
The IHRA preempts state tort claims that are "inextricably linked" with the underlying facts of civil rights violations listed in the IHRA. See Tucker v. Cassiday, Schade & Gloor, 2000 WL 968828, at*5 (N.D.Ill. 2000). The only allegations in the complaint that conceivably relate to emotional distress are those for race discrimination - claims which are covered by the IHRA. Because Plaintiffs' claims for emotional distress (Counts XLVIII through XCVI ) are preempted by the IHRA, the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over them, and they must be dismissed pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 12(b)(1). See, e.g., Smith v. Chicago Park Dist., 1999 WL 33883, at * 5 (N.D.Ill. 1999) (dismissing intentional infliction claim, predicated on same facts as sexual and racial harassment claims, because of IHRA preemption).
D. Failure to State a Claim Upon Which Relief May Be Granted (Counts XCVIII, C, CII, CIV, CV, CVI, CVII, CIX, CXI, CXIV, CXV, CXVI, CXVII, CXVIII, CXXI, CXXIII, CXXV, CXXVI, CXXVIII, CXXIX, CXXXI, CXXXII, CXXXIII, CXXXIV, CXXXV, CXXXVI, CXXXVII, CXXXVIII, CXL, CXLIII, CXLIV and CXLV) (42 U.S.C. § 1981)
Defendant contends that the above-listed counts must be dismissed because they fail to allege any facts that satisfy the factual requirements of notice pleading under FED. R. CIV. P. 8(a).
Plaintiffs respond that they have sufficiently alleged facts in support of their claims for violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981.
The Court finds it interesting that Defendant has cited the undersigned judge's decision in Clifton v. Casino Queen, Inc., 2006 WL 644769 (S.D.Ill. 2006), in support of its argument. Therein, the Court denied the Casino Queen's motion to dismiss for failing to make specific assertions as to the elements of a racial discrimination claim. The Court stated, "on a motion to dismiss, 'silence is not a concession ..., [s]ilence is just silence and does not justify dismissal.... When dealing with complaints ... judges must assume in the plaintiff's favor everything that could be shown consistent with the allegations." Id. at *3 (internal citation and citation omitted).
Plaintiffs have pled that they "were subjected to an ongoing, systematic racially hostile work environment, including, but not limited to, disparate treatment with respect to disciple, reprimands and warnings, promotions, and assignment of duties." Complaint, ¶ 108. Consistent with its decision in Clifton, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have sufficiently plead a claim for racial discrimination under § 1981 to survive Defendant's motion to dismiss.
IV. Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS Defendant's motion (Doc. 26) with respect to Plaintiffs' claims under the IHRA and DISMISSES Counts XLVIII-XCVI with prejudice. Defendant's motion is DENIED in all other respects. Plaintiffs are granted leave to amend their Complaint to reflect the correct date as to Plaintiff Arterbridge's claim and to reflect the dismissal of Counts XLVIII-XCVI. In amending, Plaintiffs should use regular numerals (modern usage) to denominate the Counts rather than Roman numerals.

Daisy Garland Wall Hanging
Sold by PamelaQuilts
What are you most proud of? Instead of doing a simple stipple as I did for my first sample, I used some designs from the book "Doodle Quilting" by Cheryl Malkowski. It took me a little longer, but I love the results. What advice would you give someone starting this project? Look to the fabrics to inspire your quilting choice. I wanted something similar to the curly vines in the border fabric and found the perfect design to go with that! Also, if you want to try some different quilting designs, a busy fabric is a great way to practice. You can't really see the quilting in the border, but I was able to practice a new design there and because it doesn't show so I was able to feel confident about doing it without being absolutely perfect.

Media Contacts Recruitment Consultants LLP
job search, Cv Writing, Cv Search
A recent post by Mike Wood on pharmiweb.com outlined important tips on creating impressive CVs. According to Mike "it's about clear presentation and clarity of content. A typical recruiter will take literally seconds to decide if your CV is worth reading in full, rejecting or selecting.
So here are a few tips that you should consider when creating or revising your CV…
Avoid gimmicks – photos, silly borders or pink paper don't impress
Use short sentences with no unnecessary adjectives – anything more is just padding
Only use content relevant to the specific application – otherwise it's harder for them to spot if you're suitable for the role
Use bullet point lists rather than long paragraphs – it's just simply cleaner
Avoid jargon and acronyms where possible – the recruiter might not be familiar with them
Don't include too much detail in your CV – they can always ask for more
Use the top half of the first page for Key Information – they may only read your summary anyway
Avoid clichés (e.g.: "team player") – it's just waffle written by you and means nothing
Avoid typos & grammatical errors – obvious errors will get your CV rejected in seconds
Don't just list job descriptions – where possible, provide successes (situation – action – results) with figures if you can
Good layout makes it easier to read – so use plenty of white space, a simple font, bold headings
Don't throw in random underlines, bold or italics – keep it well formatted
If you are sending your CV electronically, use PDF – at least you know it can be opened.
Call your CV file something meaningful – e.g.: "Fred_Blog_CV.pdf" is better than "mycv2007.docx"
Use 2 or 3 pages maximum – if it's bigger, trim it down.
Make sure your CV is targeted to the role – check that the skills you list match the job requirements – one size CV definitely does not fit all!
Don't forget your contact information – you wouldn't believe it, but people do!
Once you think you've finished your CV, get someone else to read it and ask for honest feedback. You'll be surprised how many mistakes you've made, and a fresh pair of eyes will spot things that you missed 20 times already."

Great coffee

Amazing aroma. This is much better than any coffee I can get in Moscow for this price (OR higher price). I was surprised at how the coffee beans look,when you open the tin - they're PERFECT! Smooth, shiny, round, and no crushed bits :) really liked it. BTW, shipping to Russia, Moscow was okay, took about 2,5 weeks and some disputes at russian post office, as usual... :)

The Down Low on Brazilian Waxes... What to Expect Your First Time
For some, going in for your first Brazilian wax can feel somewhat like a right of passage. For others, however, it's damn right terrifying. Whether it's the anticipation of pain or the thought of exposing yourself to a complete stranger, the time between making your first appointment to actually going through with it can feel nothing short of overwhelming. If you've scheduled your first Brazilian wax and are unsure of what to expect, we have you covered! Ahead, we share what to expect along with a few helpful tips to get you through that first appointment.
If you're looking to remove hair down there, you're going to have to get used to the idea of being up close and personal with an esthetician or waxing specialist. Our advice would be to go with someone who has been recommended to you by a friend, that way you can feel more comfortable and confident. And remember: waxing specialists see hundreds of clients for Brazilian waxes, so you are not alone!
The wax used in a Brazilian wax all depends on the salon and the service. When making your appointment, ask whether they use hard wax—which doesn't require the use of a strip to remove the hair—or soft wax—which uses a muslin strip to remove the wax. Either way the wax will be smoothed on and then quickly removed as the technician holds your skin taut. The entire experience should last between 15-45 minutes depending on how much hair you're removing and how easy it is to remove.
Just as you can select the type of wax, you're also in control of how much hair you'd like to remove. Talk to your technician at the start of your appointment and be vocal about your preferences.
If you plan to make an appointment for your first-ever Brazilian wax, you should let your hair grow in beforehand—this could take between 3-6 weeks, depending on the individual. Once your wax is over, consult with the esthetician about how long you should wait before coming in for your next one, as they will have a more personalized idea of how quickly your hair grows and how often you will need a wax.
The pain you may experience when getting a Brazilian can be different for everyone. If you need to take a breather between strips, don't be afraid to ask.
Post-wax, your skin may be feeling extra sensitive and the last thing you will want to do it put on a pair of tight fitting skinny jeans or underwear that may irritate your newfound sensitive skin. Stick to cotton knickers and a pair of loose, breathable pants.
Aloe is known for its calming and soothing properties—which makes it the perfect match for irritated or sensitive skin. Chances are, the esthetician will have some close by or offer to apply some of the cooling gel to your bikini area post-wax. If not, don't be afraid to ask for some, especially if your skin feels ultra-sensitive.

5 Summertime Pests for Dogs and Cats
Buggin' Out
Summer brings with it tons sun, fun, and outdoor activities. Unfortunately, it also is a time where our pets are exposed to a variety of pests, many of them lurking in places unseen. Here are five buggers that are especially annoying—and dangerous.
1. Fleas
It's nearly impossible to avoid fleas for an entire season, and for good reason. They can be found anywhere in the country (though found in greater numbers in warmer areas with high humidity) and multiply like crazy. In fact, according to the American Animal Hospital Association, just one flea can multiply to 1,000 fleas in your home in just 21 days. Additionally, they can cause itching, scratching, hair loss, and scabs on our pets, as well as anemia, plague and tapeworms, among other things.
2. Ticks
A lovely day out in the woods, communing with nature, breathing fresh air. These are the joys of summer. Unfortunately, ticks like these spots, too, and they don't mind hanging around to wait for warm-blooded travelers like you and your pet to hitch a ride on. Some of the more serious diseases that ticks can transmit to your pet include Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and babesiosis. If you will be spending time in grassy or wooded areas with your pet, be sure to do a tick inspection daily so that the tick can be removed before damage can be done.
3. Mosquitoes
Even your indoor pets are at risk for some of the miseries brought on by mosquitoes, since mosquitoes can still get inside on occasion and can bite through screens on windows, where cats tend to rest. Of course, mosquitoes cause itchy bumps, and that is painful enough, but there are also some serious and life-threatening diseases to wary aware of. Heartworm, a roundworm that can infect both cats and dogs, is a silent killer that can be easily treated if caught in time. Then there is the Saint Louis Encephalitis (SLE), which attacks the brain, and the West Nile Virus (WNV), too.
4. Botfly
Also called the Cuterebra, the botfly hangs out in grass, latching onto warm-blooded animals that are passing through. Symptoms of botfly infection include seizures, aggression, blindness, and warbles (or lumps) in the skin where the botfly has taken up residence. In cats, the cuterebra larva typically travels to the brain.
5. Sarcoptes Scabiei Mite
Most prevalent in the summer months, the condition caused by this mite, also referred to as scabies or mange, is more of a nuisance than a danger. Of course, any condition that results in open wounds is dangerous because it opens the body to bacterial invasion. The most common risk of exposure comes from contact with other animals and outdoor activities. Treatment is the same as treating for fleas, but more aggressive, with quarantining, and thorough baths.
Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Hopefully, this has not scared you into another "stay-cation" this summer. We wouldn't want you and your pets to stay cooped up for fear of what is out there. With some vigilance and planning, you will find the end of summer coming much too soon again, and we will be here, to help you prepare for the fun of the fall season.

Apple doesn't want you to know about it, but we're telling you anyway: Reports from AppleInsider this morning say that the standard AppleCare warranty was extended to two years in Australia.
The news here, though, comes from The Sydney Morning Herald, who has obtained an Apple email that told employees not to notify customers of this change.
While 12 months has been the standard warranty for Apple products in the states, the Australian Consumer Law was passed in January of 2011 and requires companies to provide warranties of "reasonable" length. Apple has apparently done so, but for business purposes or otherwise, has elected not to educate its customers about the change.
Do we have any Australian owners of Apple products that didn't know this?

After Crack the Skye I waited anxiously for Mastodon's upcoming album, The Hunter. This time the album didn't have a concept involving the elements like their previous albums and what I'd understood from their interviews, the songwriting process was more "loose" than before.
The result is a strong, good album. It isn't as solid masterpiece as Crack the Skye, but each track stands on their own. The album once again shows some new sides of the band, like the epic sing-a-long Creature Lives.
Drummer Brann Dailor is getting more time doing some singing. On this record he does the lead vocals on two tracks, the previously mentioned Creature Lives and my personal favourite track Dry Bone Valley.
The first half of the album is pure awesomeness, but the second half is where it gets "sloppy" here and there with not as strong tracks as the first half. …

Ghost of MF Global haunts CME
More than three months after the collapse of MF Global, fallout continues to beset the collapsed futures firm's front-line regulator, CME Group.
The Chicago-based futures exchange on Wednesday saw its credit rating cut by Standard & Poor's and could face further downgrades because of reputational damage linked to the 31 October collapse of MF Global.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services cut CME's long-term rating by a notch to double-A-minus, citing the potential cost of a financial safety net established for clients in the wake of the unfolding controversy surrounding the MF Global bankruptcy.
"We could lower the rating on CME Group if legal and reputational issues take a long-term toll on its franchise and financial position," S&P said.
The move comes as CME has faced criticism from clients and lawmakers for its handling of the failure of MF Global, where it acted as primary regulator for what was one of the largest brokers on its markets. That role included auditing MF Global's handling of customer funds and supervising the firm's behaviour.
CME auditors made a surprise visit to MF Global's Chicago offices in the week before the firm's collapse to parse its books, but found nothing untoward. Days later CME was told by federal regulators of an estimated $900m shortfall in customer funds, and the exchange group suggested that MF Global staff had illegally transferred funds in a way designed to avoid raising alarm bells at CME.
In December Terry Duffy, CME's executive chairman, rebuffed suggestions that it spin off its regulatory functions to ward off any potential conflict of interest.
CME, the world's largest futures exchange operator by volume, in November stepped in with a series of guarantees to speed the return of billions of dollars in client funds frozen by MF Global's bankruptcy, and last week announced plans for a new $100m fund to protect farmer and rancher clients in the event that their broker collapses.
S&P said the potential impact of the fund and the guarantee wouldn't trigger another downgrade, even though plans to boost dividends reduced its financial cushion.
"But we believe that the ramifications of CME Group's support of its clearing members' customers expand the firm's long-standing mandate of guaranteeing trades among its clearing members," said S&P analyst Charles Rauch in a statement.
CME's short-term rating was left unchanged at A1+. The long-term rating was put on negative watch last March after S&P expressed concern about the impact of a now-abandoned margining program.
The exchange operator said in a statement that it remains happy with its rating.
Moody's Investors Service since mid-2008 has rated CME at AA3, in line with S&P's revised mark. Fitch Ratings doesn't have a view on CME's credit.
Peter Nerby, Moody's exchange analyst, said that while the MF Global episode has dealt a "black eye" to the futures industry, the customer protections launched by CME haven't changed the agency's credit view.
"Those are very financially affordable things for CME in our view, given the cash generation of the company," Nerby said. "They're trying to do the right thing for customers after MF Global, at a modest incremental cost."
S&P said it was also "less comfortable" with CME's expansion into clearing credit-default swaps because it was an area outside the the company's historical expertise, even though it has been building the business for more than three years. CME said the company was pleased with the growth, which is expected to pick up further under new rules required by the Dodd-Frank financial law.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 160 reviews
One night stay in Granada. The location is easy to drive to and the main tourist area is a 5 minute walk up the street. They offer on-site valet parking. The staff was every helpful and helped get us Alhambra tickets after the official site was sold out.
Although the hotel itself is fine, the air conditioning did not work. We stayed in late July when the high temperatures exceed 40 deg C (100+ F). We spoke to the front desk, they sent their handyman/super. He looked at the thermostat and concluded it was working. We spent 2 sweaty sleepless nights. If you are staying here late Sept through May, you will likely be fine as its not that hot. But I would not stay here in the summer. Room was spacious, clean, and the hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from the city center. We stayed 2 nights and felt that was a sufficient amount of time.
Great location within a 5 minute walk to center location attractions. Very helpful front desk. Most comfortable beds of our entire 6 week trip. Had a room on major street but heard no noise so great insulation. Large room with air conditioner. Easy access to bus to airport.
We stayed in Granada for one night and was it fun. The hotel was right in the middle of the action and we took it all in. Great location better people. Typical small European hotel room which was ok for one night
Great location, but the room was quite hot. AC was not working properly. Recommend this hotel for a short trip and if you do not plan to be in the hotel that much.

Also found in humans - could explain why some get sicker than others
University of Michigan scientists have discovered a gene that turns a chronic inherited neurological disorder – which produces tremor and muscle weakness in laboratory mice – into a lethal disease that paralyzes and kills them within a few weeks of birth.
Called Scnm1 for sodium channel modifier 1, the gene is one of a small group of recently discovered modifier genes that interact with other genes to alter the physical effects of inherited diseases.

Showbiz Sandbox 124: UltraViolet Is A Solution In Search Of A Problem
October 31, 2011
More than 75 companies have teamed up to form UltraViolet, a new service that promises to give consumers the freedom to watch movies and television shows wherever and whenever they want. However, early adopters have discovered that untethering content from physical media such as DVDs can be a tedious and confusing process. As the entertainment industry experiments with rapidly evolving technologies, viewers seem hard pressed to find any benefits in moving to the cloud.
When it comes to music though, fans have already migrated to online services such as Pandora, iTunes and Amazon. Now Google is preparing to launch its own music offering which is rumored to allow users to share music with their friends and family.
And if you thought digital technology was a tough racket, so is trying to copy the success of the hit television series "Mad Men". NBC failed with it's 1960s drama "The Playboy Club" and ABC isn't fairing much better with "Pan Am", a similar knock-off. They could have picked up Charlie Sheen's new sitcom, "Anger Management" as a replacement, but FX scooped it up before anyone had a chance.

Showbiz Sandbox 75: Hollywood Stunned By A Jackass (And It's Not Perez Hilton!)
October 18, 2010
Everyone expected the latest installment of the low-rent "Jackass" franchise to bring in a few bucks, especially since it was filmed in 3D, but nobody expected the movie to take in $50 million in its debut weekend and set records for an October opening. Another surprise from this past week came when gossip blogger Perez Hilton told the world he would no longer "bully" or "out" celebrities on his popular website. Hilton has left everyone wondering if he is being honest, or just trying to grab a few headlines.
In television news, the big story was all about the Chilean miner rescue which drew huge ratings for cable news networks. As for some of the season's new shows, we provide an update on which ones seem to be fairing well and which may be headed into a permanent hiatus.
The nominations for the American Music Awards were announced, though instead of pulling names from Billboard's Hot 100 chart, the show relied on the Ultimate Chart published by BigChampagne.

coup's aftermath
As Gulen movement contracts in Africa, worry over who will fill the vacuum
(RNS) At Turkey's request, some African governments are closing Gulen-affiliated schools.
Religion News Service (http://religionnews.com/tag/recep-tayyip-erdogan/)
(RNS) At Turkey's request, some African governments are closing Gulen-affiliated schools.
ISTANBUL — Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States is willing to help Turkey as it tries to identify those involved in the coup attempt.
ISTANBUL — U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen denies accusations he played a role in the attempted coup in Turkey and said he condemned "in the strongest terms" the attempt to topple the government.
ISTANBUL (RNS) Public education has become a symbol of the tug of war between Turkey's secular tradition and the rising religious tide.
VATICAN CITY (RNS) "I want to assure each one of you here that, to reach the desired goal of full unity, the Catholic Church does not intend to impose any conditions except that of the shared profession of faith," Pope Francis told Orthodox leaders.
VATICAN CITY (RNS) The Middle East is high on the pope's agenda and Francis has been particularly outspoken about worsening violence in Syria and Iraq and the persecution of Christian minorities in both countries.
(RNS) The reopening of what church officials say is the largest Armenian place of worship in southeastern Turkey is part of a re-evaluation by Kurdish Muslims of the active role their ancestors played in the killings of minorities including Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks and Jews in the twilight years of the Ottoman Empire.

DONALD FISCHER; ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.AVIVA LIFE AND ANNUITY CO.; ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
This matter comes before the court on defendant's ex parte application to extend the discovery cutoff deadline, filed on July 7, 2011. (ECF 54.) Plaintiffs filed an opposition on July 8, 2011. (ECF 56.) The court filed a scheduling order in this case on November 22, 2010, setting the discovery cutoff as April 11, 2011. (ECF 26.) On February 23, 2011, the court extended the discovery cutoff deadline to July 8, 2011. (ECF 38.)
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) states: "A schedule may be modified only for good cause and with the judge's consent." The determination of "good cause" "focuses on the reasonable diligence of the moving party." Noyes v. Kelly Servs., 488 F.3d 1163, 1174 n.6 (9th Cir. 2007) (citing Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992)). "The district court may modify the pretrial schedule 'if it cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension.'" Johnson, 975 F.2d at 609 (quotingFed. R. Civ. P. 16 advisory committee's notes on 1983 amendment). Defendants have not shown diligence. They contend that only recently, as a result of deposing the plaintiffs, they learned new information that requires follow-up investigation. (ECF 54.) However, defendants' requests for production propounded after the depositions, attached to plaintiff's opposition to defendants' application, do not appear to be directed to following up on specific new information; rather they appear to be the kinds of requests that could have been propounded at the beginning of discovery. (ECF 56-1.)
Accordingly, defendants' ex parte application is hereby DENIED.

Top 10 Minecraft Mods
The Top TenXW
This mod has been receiving lots of praise for its wide variety of mobs, items, dungeons, dimensions. While this mod is indeed huge, I'd say the quantity is predominant rather then the quality. Most dungeon consists of lame bedrock cubes, and while the modeling and texturing of both mobs and items has been done right, the API's of the mobs themselves are kinda lame. I myself prefer the Twilight Forest, a mod that may not excel in matters of quantity, but the effort put in the dungeons and bosses can clearly be seen. The biomes are nice, and have a mystical atmosphere to them. Same can be said for the entire dimension.
In my eyes OreSpawn is far from what I would consider the 'best mod', though I think it can come close to such if they'd focus on quality rather then quantity.
Very good server, with a variety of things like dimensions, items, mobs, dungeons and many more. They put a lot of effort into there mod, adding easily over a thousand items for you to get in your minecraft world. I would definitely suggest this mod to everyone who wants some exciting mods in their minecraft world. - idkdan
It is a whole new thing with 6 different dimensions, hundreds od different mobs, Bosses and animals. It also has many more weapons and blocks. THIS IS THE BEST MOD I'VE EVER SEEN!
There's something for everyone. For cute-animal-lover's, explorers, engineers, farmers - seriously, this is the best mod ever!V32 Comments
You can say that all these other mods are better... Until you find yourself riding your massive Gyarados, flying over the oceans to find an altar to summon one of the legendary birds of lore. Then we can talk.
Pokemon and Minecraft combined. What could be better?
It's awesome fly on Pokemon and much moreV17 Comments
This is not a mod, it is a whole new game that just happens to be under the same name as Minecraft! Seriously! Guns! Nukes! Thousands of redstone devices! Unless you only play mine craft for the redstone (which I strongly do not recommend because it is an adventure and building game and not an engineering one) than you should no get this!
The Technic Pack is THE best. You get to have make all sorts of factories and retreat from the primitive age Minecraft usually is.
I just love it. It got all kinds of usefull and fun stuff to make and create! And you can even play it in multiplayer! :O For me it just got everything I could ever want!

Increases FPS and makes the game look great
Good for users with bad computers, and for players who want to use HD texture packs

You can have loads and loads of new creatures in Minecraft. It is really fun and useful.
Minecraft gets better with new mobs. This mod makes Minecraft ten times more fun than the default is!
You wake up in your shelter, and suddenly a man sees you. You decide to keep him and night falls. As you eat the pigs you hunted, the man jumps around, and transforms into a werewolf, and attacks you! This mod adds animals, monsters, dimensions, and tons more! Orespawn, even it cannot compare! It is screwed!
This mod makes the game a lot more fun and exciting, and a lot more playable too. - idkdanV15 Comments

Here's what you'll need:

* Reader's digest book (I find mine at thrift shops)
* Nail punch and hammer or drill
* Scrapbook paper
I started by cutting off the front and back cover with an exacto knife. When you cut off the cover you will be left with a rough edge, so I then recovered the binding.
I wanted to add some color, so I attached another piece of scrapbook paper to the inside of the front and back covers.
Then I measured and punched three holes using a nail punch and hammer. (I got smart on the second book and used a drill and eyelets.)
After you measure and punch your holes in the front cover, place the front cover on top the back cover and mark your holes. This way you will be sure to have everything lined up.
This is when I decided to add pockets. I cut a piece of scrapbook paper, folded the bottom and sides then glued it to the inside covers.
I take this one with me each week when I go to the grocery store. I write down my list and put my coupons for that week in the front pocket. I used to put my list on an envelope and put the coupons inside. Now I have a fun little notebook to take with me to keep everything organized.
The second book I added the eyelets and used the drill. It was SO much easier!
