On Tap Today: Eating Out on Christmas Eve and the Erotic Adventures of the Static Chicken
After nearly 14 years, local group the Erotic Adventures of the Static Chicken is ending its Tuesday night residency at the Jazz Estate Dec. 31. Tonight's free show should be a little less crowded, and it will feature founding member Chris Vos, in town from Los Angeles. Journal Sentinel photo by Piet Levy.
If you think you have to spend your evening on Christmas Eve waiting around for Santa to show up, you're sorely mistaken.
As Milwaukee Journal Sentinel food critic Carol Deptolla has noted, a number of restaurants in town are still open today. Some good options in the list if you need to take a break from the kitchen.
But if you need to stay out of the house (or away from some annoying relatives) a little bit longer, might we suggest the Erotic Adventures of the Static Chicken. No, its not some weird underground movie your hipster uncle is into. It's the name of an immensely talented and adventurous local jazz band that has been playing Tuesday night gigs for about 14 years now at the Jazz Estate, 2423 N. Murray Ave.
The club is up for sale, so the band is ending its run on New Year's Eve with fanfare and special guests. The place will be absolutely mobbed, so catch the Chicken tonight with special guest Chris Vos, a founding member who lives in Los Angeles these days and is playing with the band the Record Company. The show starts at 10:30 p.m., and there's no cover.
And if at the end of the night you happen to see a big fella with a big white beard at the bar, you might want to buy him a beer. He'll have earned it.

Last season, the Warriors didn't reach four losses until their 41st game, on Jan. 16. Saturday's loss was their fourth this season -- in their 24th game.
Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz scored a game-high 26 points against the Kings, his 10th straight 20-point game. It's the longest streak of 20-point games by a Jazz player since Karl Malone (11 in a row in the 2001-02 season).

Chris Paul feeds a cutting DeAndre Jordan, who finishes with the ferocious dunk in the first half against the Pelicans.
The Warriors' "Big 4" of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green combined for 53 points on 37.5 percent shooting Saturday as the Warriors were held to a season-low 89 points. Entering tonight, the Warriors' "Big 4" had combined for at least 89 points in eight of 23 games.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich on the potential benefits of calling out your team: "I don't know. You can go either way probably. We just call it like we see it. We've always been honest and straightforward. I think players appreciate that. They don't like to be tricked or manipulated or have smoke blown at them. The truth is always better."
Manu Ginobili on the Spurs overcoming some of their offensive woes against a struggling Brooklyn squad:

LeBron James on being the only player in NBA history with 27,000 points, 7,000 assists and 7,000 rebounds: "That just shows the triple-threat of me: to rebound, to pass, to put the ball in the hole a little bit."
Spurs defeat Brooklyn 130-101. Here's San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills on coach Gregg Popovich calling out the squad after the loss Friday night at Chicago: "It shouldn't take him to do that. We have so many professional guys and veteran guys on our team that it shouldn't take him to do that. But it definitely affected everyone to know that you've got to lace them up here and do what we do. No more messing around. It was only one game. And one game that we probably have been more consistent throughout the 48 minutes than other games. We've done it now. It's just about trying to do it more time than other teams. It's almost like beating a dead horse. He's told us multiple times. It wasn't just that particular game. He's told us all season. So it shouldn't take him to do whatever he did to get us going. We're old enough. We're veteran enough."
LeBron James on the state of the CBA negotiations: "We got to stay optimistic ... We still got a few days."
Biggest thing that jumps out watching Jazz all week in person -- even more than on TV: Rudy Gobert got awesome. Playing with such force.
Harrison Barnes on the Rockets hitting 19 3s: "It was just one of those nights."

The Bulls sneak out with a win. Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade combine for 59 points. Bulls have got to find more answers offensively, though. This is too much of a burden for Butler and Wade to carry all season.
Rockets extend their winning streak to a season-high six games with a 109-87 win over Dallas. Houston made 19 three-pointers, second highest total this season. James Harden had 16 assists, one shy of his career high. He also was one rebound shy of a triple-double. He had 18 points.
LeBron finished with 44 points in win vs Hornets, his most in a regular-season game since scoring 61 in 2014 -- als… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
The Pelicans, who will be without six players tonight in Los Angeles, will have lost 90 games this season after tonight, including 64 as a result of injury or illness (not counting Lance Stephenson, who was waived after suffering a groin injury).
Now that's dreaming. But that is why I would love to see guys go into the NBA draft from HS or stay 3 years...… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
LeBron James had 44 points and 10 assists in a win over the Hornets. He has 9 games with 40 points and 10 assists in his career. Over the last 30 seasons, only Allen Iverson has more (12). Iverson joins Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard and James Harden as players with a 40-10 game this season.

ELMER L. MEEK, JR., PLAINTIFF,v.MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, DEFENDANT.
On March 11, 2011, Elmer L. Meek, Jr. ("Plaintiff" or "Claimant") filed a complaint seeking review of the decision by the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration ("Commissioner") denying Plaintiff's application for Social Security disability insurance benefits. The Commissioner filed an Answer to the Complaint on September 12, 2011. On November 14, 2011, the parties filed a Joint Stipulation ("JS").
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), both parties consented to proceed before the undersigned Magistrate Judge. After reviewing the pleadings, transcripts, and administrative record ("AR"), the Court concludes that the Commissioner's decision shouldbe affirmed and this case dismissed with prejudice.
Plaintiff is a 38 year old male who filed an application for Social Security disability and disability insurance benefits on June 27, 2007, alleging disability beginning June 3, 2003. (AR 32.) Plaintiff has not engaged in substantial gainful activity since that date. (AR 34.)
Plaintiff's claim was denied initially on October 15, 2007, and on reconsideration on February 29, 2008. (AR 32.) Plaintiff filed a timely request for a hearing, which was held on June 11, 2009, in San Bernardino, California, before Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") F. Keith Varni. (AR 32, 54-77.) Plaintiff appeared and testified at the hearing. (AR 32.) Claimant was represented by counsel. (AR 32.)
The ALJ issued a decision denying benefits on September 28, 2009. (AR 32-39.) The Appeals Council denied Plaintiff's request for review on January 14, 2011. (AR 3-5.) The Appeals Council denied a request to reopen on February 4, 2011. (AR 1-2.)
As reflected in the Joint Stipulation, the issues Plaintiff raises as grounds for reversal and remand are as follows:
1. Whether the ALJ erred in rejecting the functional capacity assessments of treating physician Dr. Obrowski and in mischaracterizing those of treating orthopedist Dr. Einbund.
2. Whether the assessment of examining orthopedist Dr. Styner was rejected by reference to legally adequate rationales.
3. Whether the ALJ's finding that the testimony of Plaintiff and his wife is not credible is based on a proper application of the relevant legal standards and is otherwise supported by substantial evidence.
Under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), this Court reviews the ALJ's decision to determine whether the ALJ's findings are supported by substantial evidence and free of legal error. Smolen v. Chater, 80 F.3d 1273, 1279 (9th Cir. 1996); see also DeLorme v. Sullivan, 924 F.2d 841, 846 (9th Cir. 1991) (ALJ's disability determination must be supported by substantial evidence and based on the proper legal standards).
Substantial evidence means "'more than a mere scintilla,' but less than a preponderance." Saelee v. Chater, 94 F.3d 520, 521-22 (9th Cir. 1996) (quoting Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389, 401 (1971)). Substantial evidence is "such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Richardson, 402 U.S. at 401 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
This Court must review the record as a whole and consider adverse as well as supporting evidence. Robbins v. Soc. Sec. Admin., 466 F.3d 880, 882 (9th Cir. 2006). Where evidence is susceptible to more than one rational interpretation, the ALJ's decision must be upheld. Morgan v. Comm'r of the Soc. Sec. Admin., 169 F.3d 595, 599 (9th Cir. 1999). "However, a reviewing court must consider the entire record as a whole and may not affirm simply by isolating a 'specific quantum of supporting evidence.'" Robbins, 466 F.3d at 882 (quoting Hammock v. Bowen, 879 F.2d 498, 501 (9th Cir. 1989)); see also Orn v. Astrue, 495 F.3d 625, 630 (9th Cir. 2007).
The Social Security Act defines disability as the "inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or . . . can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." 42 U.S.C. §§ 423(d) (1)(A), 1382c(a)(3)(A). The Commissioner has established a five-step sequential process to determine whether a claimant is disabled.
The first step is to determine whether the claimant is presently engaging in substantial
gainful activity. Parra v. Astrue, 481 F.3d 742, 746 (9th Cir. 2007). If the claimant is engaging in substantial gainful activity, disability benefits will be denied. Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. 137, 140 (1987). Second, the ALJ must determine whether the claimant has a severe impairment or combination of impairments. Parra, 481 F.3d at 746. An impairment is not severe if it does not significantly limit the claimant's ability to work. Smolen, 80 F.3d 1273, 1290 (9th Cir. 1996). Third, the ALJ must determine whether the impairment is listed, or equivalent to an impairment listed, in 20 C.F.R. Pt. 404, Subpt. P, Appendix I of the regulations. Parra, 481 F.3d at 746. If the impediment meets or equals one of the listed impairments, the claimant is presumptively disabled. Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. at 141. Fourth, the ALJ must determine whether the impairment prevents the claimant from doing past relevant work. Pinto v. Massanari, 249 F.3d 840, 844-45 (9th Cir. 2001).
Before making the step four determination, the ALJ first must determine the claimant's residual functional capacity ("RFC")*fn1 . 20 C.F.R. § 416.920(e). RFC is what one "can still do despite [his or her] limitations" and represents an assessment "based on all the relevant evidence." 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(1), 416.945(a)(1). The RFC must account for all of the claimant's impairments, including those that are not severe. 20 C.F.R. §§ 416.920(e), 416.945(a)(2); Social Security Ruling ("SSR") 96-8p.
If the claimant cannot perform his or her past relevant work or has no past relevant work, the ALJ proceeds to the fifth step and must determine whether the impairment prevents the claimant from performing any other substantial gainful activity. Moore v. Apfel, 216 F.3d 864, 869 (9th Cir. 2000). The claimant bears the burden of proving steps one through four, consistent with the general rule that at all times the burden is on the claimant to establish his or her entitlement to benefits. Parra, 481 F.3d at 746. Once this prima facie case is established by the claimant, the burden shifts to the Commissioner to show that the claimant may perform other gainful activity. Lounsburry v. Barnhart, 468 F.3d 1111, 1114 (9th Cir. 2006). If the Commissioner cannot meet this burden, then the claimant is disabled and entitled to benefits. Id.
In this case, the ALJ determined at step one of the sequential process that Plaintiff has not engaged in substantial gainful activity since the alleged onset date of June 3, 2003, through his date last insured of March 31, 2009. (AR 34.)
At step two, the ALJ found that through the date last insured Plaintiff has the medically determinable severe impairments of cervical and lumbar strain. (AR 34.)
At step three, the ALJ determined that Plaintiff does not have an impairment or combination of impairments that meets or medically equals one of the listed impairments. (AR 34.)
The ALJ found that Plaintiff through the date last insured has the RFC to perform the full range of light work. (AR 34.) In determining this RFC, the ALJ made an adverse credibility determination. (AR 37.)
At step four, the ALJ found that Claimant is unable to perform his past relevant work as a big rig mechanic and parts counter and warehouse mechanic. (AR 38.)
At step five, however, the ALJ did find there were other jobs existing in significant numbers in the national economy that Plaintiff can perform. (AR 39.) Based on an RFC for the full range of light work, a finding of not disabled was directed by Medical-Vocational Rule 202.21.
Accordingly, the ALJ concluded that Plaintiff is not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act. (AR 39.)
The ALJ decision must be affirmed. The ALJ's RFC was supported by substantial evidence. The ALJ properly rejected the opinion of Dr. Obrowski and interpreted the opinion of Dr. Einbund in a reasonable manner. The ALJ properly discounted the medical opinion of Dr. Styner. The ALJ properly discounted the subjective symptom testimony of Plaintiff and his wife. The ALJ's non-disability determination is supported by substantial evidence and free of legal error.
The ALJ assessed the Claimant with an RFC for the full range of light work, with no limitations. (AR 34.) All three issues raised by Plaintiff concern the ALJ's RFC. The ALJ's RFC, however, is supported by substantial evidence.
An RFC is not a medical determination but an administrative finding or legal decision reserved to the Commissioner based on consideration of all the relevant evidence, including medical evidence, lay witnesses and subjective symptoms. See SSR 96-5p; 20 C.F.R. § 1527(e). In determining a claimant's RFC, an ALJ must consider all relevant evidence in the record, including medical records, lay evidence, and the effects of symptoms, including pain reasonably attributable to the medical condition. Robbins, 466 F.3d at 883.
A. The ALJ Properly Considered The Medical Opinions And RFC Assessments Of Plaintiff's Treating Physicians
Plaintiff first challenges the ALJ's RFC because he claims that the ALJ improperly rejected the opinion of Dr. Obrowski and misstated the opinion of treating orthopedist Dr. Einbund. The Court disagrees.
1. Relevant Law In evaluating medical opinions, the case law and regulations distinguish among the opinions of three types of physicians: (1) those who treat the claimant (treating physicians);
(2) those who examine but do not treat the claimant (examining physicians); and (3) those who neither examine nor treat the claimant (non-examining, or consulting, physicians). See 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1527, 416.927; see also Lester v. Chater, 81 F.3d 821, 830 (9th Cir. 1995). In general, an ALJ must accord special weight to a treating physician's opinion because a treating physician "is employed to cure and has a greater opportunity to know and observe the patient as an individual." Magallanes v. Bowen, 881 F.2d 747, 751 (9th Cir. 1989) (citation omitted). If a treating source's opinion on the issues of the nature and severity of a claimant's impairments is well-supported by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic techniques, and is not inconsistent with other substantial evidence in the case record, the ALJ must give it "controlling weight." 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1527(d)(2), 416.927(d)(2).
Where a treating doctor's opinion is not contradicted by another doctor, it may be rejected only for "clear and convincing" reasons. Lester, 81 F.3d at 830. However, if the treating physician's opinion is contradicted by another doctor, such as an examining physician, the ALJ may reject the treating physician's opinion by providing specific, legitimate reasons, supported by substantial evidence in the record. Lester, 81 F.3d at 830-31; see also Orn, 495 F.3d at 632; Thomas v. Barnhart, 278 F.3d 947, 957 (9th Cir. 2002). Where a treating physician's opinion is contradicted by an examining professional's opinion, the Commissioner may resolve the conflict by relying on the examining physician's opinion if the examining physician's opinion is supported by different, independent clinical findings. See Andrews v. Shalala, 53 F.3d 1035, 1041 (9th Cir. 1995); Orn, 495 F.3d at 632. Similarly, to reject an uncontradicted opinion of an examining physician, an ALJ must provide clear and convincing reasons. Bayliss v. Barnhart, 427 F.3d 1211, 1216 (9th Cir. 2005). If an examining physician's opinion is contradicted by another physician's opinion, an ALJ must provide specific and legitimate reasons to reject it. Id. However, "[t]he opinion of a non-examining physician cannot by itself constitute substantial evidence that justifies the rejection of the opinion of either an examining physician or a treating physician"; such an opinion may serve as substantial evidence only when it is consistent with and supported by other independent evidence in the record. Lester, 81 F.3d at 830-31; Morgan, 169 F.3d at 600.
2. Analysis
The ALJ's RFC assessment for the full range of light work is based primarily on the evaluation of Plaintiff's treating orthopedist Dr. Michael Einbund. (AR 36, 38.) On September 6, 2004, Dr. Einbund diagnosed cervical spine strain, thoracolumbar strain and symptomatic spondylolisthesis, and restricted Plaintiff to light work. (AR 36, 268.) On September 27, 2007, consulting orthopedist Dr. Bunsri Sophon also diagnosed cervical sprain and lumbar sprain. (AR 36, 308.) His evaluation that Plaintiff is able to lift 50 pounds occasionally and is limited to sitting, standing and walking 6 hours in an 8 hour work day indicate Plaintiff is capable of medium work. (AR 36, 308.) State agency physician Diana Rose, M.D., concurred in Dr. Sophon's assessment of a medium work RFC. (AR 36, 318-25.) Giving Plaintiff the benefit of the doubt, the ALJ adopted the light work RFC of Dr. Einbund. (AR 38.)
In contrast, Plaintiff's treating family physician Dr. Sandra Obrowski opined in 2007 and 2008 that Plaintiff could lift only 5 pounds and stand, walk and sit but one hour in an 8 hour day. (AR 36.) She further opined that Claimant's impairments are severe enough to interfere constantly with concentration and attention, and the pain sometimes causes depression. (AR 36.)
Because Dr. Obrowski's RFC assessment is at odds with those of other physicians, Plaintiff concedes that the ALJ need only present specific, legitimate reasons for rejecting Dr. Obrowski's opinion. (JS 10.) The ALJ did so. The ALJ determined that Dr. Obrowski's RFC was rebutted by the opinions of Dr. Einbund, Dr. Sophon and the State Agency reviewer. (AR 38.) Although Plaintiff clearly disagrees with the ALJ's interpretation of the medical evidence, it is the ALJ who is responsible for resolving conflicts in the medical evidence. Andrews, 53 F.3d at 1039; Magallanes v. Bowen, 881 F.2d 747, 750 (9th Cir. 1989). Here, the ALJ's interpretation was reasonable and should not be second-guessed. Rollins v. Massanari, 261 F.3d 853, 857 (9th Cir. 2001).
The ALJ also discounted Dr. Obrowski's opinion because Plaintiff sees Dr. Obrowski "only at two month intervals" and "the treatment is limited to refilling medications." (AR 37-38.) Conservative treatment is a legitimate basis for discounting a physician's opinion. Rollins, 261 F.3d at 856. The ALJ discounted Dr. Obrowski's opinion for specific legitimate reasons supported by substantial evidence.
Plaintiff also suggests that the ALJ mischaracterized Dr. Einbund's RFC assessment. Plaintiff contends that Dr. Einbund found that Plaintiff could work only while standing or walking, meaning that he could not sit at all. (JS 12, cited AR 268.) Plaintiff's interpretation of the evidence is not reasonable. Dr. Einbund did not assess any restriction against sitting and his RFC for light work was without restriction and inconsistent with any RFC restriction. Dr. Einbund's statement that Plaintiff could "do work in a standing or walking position" was but an elaboration that, in addition to light work jobs that require a lot of sitting, Plaintiff also could do those that require walking or standing. This interpretation is consistent with the definition of light work in 20 C.F.R. § 404.1567(b). Again, Plaintiff interprets the evidence differently but the ALJ is responsible for resolving ambiguities in the record. Andrews, 53
F.3d at 1039. Where the evidence is susceptible to more than one rational interpretation, one of which supports the ALJ's decision, the ALJ's conclusion must be upheld. Thomas, 278 F.3d at 954. The ALJ's RFC is reasonable and should not be second-guessed. Rollins, 261 F.3d at 857.
The ALJ properly rejected the RFC assessment of Dr. Obrowski for specific, legitimate reasons supported by substantial evidence and did not mischaracterize Dr. Einbund's RFC assessment. To the extent that Dr. Einbund's opinion is ambiguous, the ALJ's interpretation of the medical evidence was reasonable and should not be second-guessed.
B. The ALJ Properly Rejected The Opinion Of Dr. Styner
On May 11, 2009, examining orthopedist Dr. James Styner opined that due to the severity of Claimant's symptoms "he would not be able to reliably perform even light work on a regular 8 hour/day, 40 hour/week basis." (AR 37.) On May 20, 2009, Dr. Styner opined that Plaintiff could stand, walk and sit up to 3 hours in an 8 hour day, lift 10 pounds occasionally and carry up to 5 pounds. (AR 37.)
The ALJ gave Dr. Styner's opinion minimal persuasive value. (AR 37.) Because Dr. Styner's opinion is inconsistent with other physicians' opinions, Plaintiff concedes that the ALJ need provide only specific, legitimate reasons to reject Dr. Styner's opinion. (JS 18.) The ALJ did so. The ALJ found that Dr. Styner's less than sedentary assessment was "thoroughly rebutted by the treating physician Dr. Einbund's permanent and stationary report." (AR 37.) Plaintiff repeats his assertion that Dr. Einbund found Plaintiff unable to work in a seated position at all, but the Court already has rejected that interpretation of Dr. Einbund's RFC assessment. Again, the ALJ is responsible for resolving conflicts in the medical evidence. Andrews, 53 F.3d at 1039. The ALJ did so and his interpretation was reasonable and should not be second-guessed. Rollins, 261 F.3d at 857.
The ALJ also noted that Dr. Styner was not claimant's treating physician. (AR 37.) The ALJ reasonably gave greater weight to the opinion of treating physician Dr. Einbund. See Batson v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec. Adm., 359 F.3d 1190 (9th Cir. 2004) (treating physician's opinions generally afforded greatest weight in disability cases).
The ALJ next contends that Dr. Styner's opinion is completely inconsistent with the physical examination (AR 37) but does not explain why this is so. The ALJ further contends that Dr. Styner's opinion lacks probative value because it was obtained to generate evidence for appeal rather than for medical treatment of symptoms. (AR 37.) The Court does not need to reach these issues, as the ALJ's other grounds for rejecting Dr. Styner's opinion are sufficient. Carmickle v. Comm'r Soc. Sec. Adm., 533 F.3d 1155, 1162-63 (9th Cir. 2008); Stout v. Comm'r Soc. Sec. Adm., 454 F.3d at 1050, 1053 (9th Cir. 2006).
C. The ALJ Properly Discounted The Subjective Symptom Testimony Of Plaintiff And His Wife
Plaintiff's final challenge to the ALJ's RFC is that the ALJ improperly discounted Plaintiff's subjective symptoms. The Court disagrees.
1. Relevant Law The test for deciding whether to accept a claimant's subjective symptom testimony turns on whether the claimant produces medical evidence of an impairment that reasonably could be expected to produce the pain or other symptoms alleged. Bunnell v. Sullivan, 947 F.2d 341, 346 (9th Cir. 1991); see also Reddick v. Chater, 157 F.3d 715, 722 (9th Cir. 1998); Smolen, 80 F.3d at 1281-82 & n.2. The Commissioner may not discredit a claimant's testimony on the severity of symptoms merely because it is unsupported by objective medical evidence. Reddick, 157 F.3d at 722; Bunnell, 947 F.2d at 343, 345. If the ALJ finds the claimant's symptom testimony not credible, the ALJ "must specifically make findings which support this conclusion." Bunnell, 947 F.2d at 345. These findings must be "sufficiently specific to permit the court to conclude that the ALJ did not arbitrarily discredit [the] claimant's testimony." Thomas v. Barnhart, 278 F.3d at 958; see also Rollins, 261 F.3d at 856-57; Bunnell, 947 F.2d at 345-46. Unless there is evidence of malingering, the ALJ can reject the claimant's testimony about the severity of his symptoms only by offering "specific, clear and convincing reasons for doing so." Smolen, 80 F.3d at 1283-84; see also Reddick, 157 F.3d at 722. The ALJ must identify what testimony is not credible and what evidence discredits the testimony. Reddick, 157 F.3d at 722; Smolen, 80 F.3d at 1284.
In determining Plaintiff's RFC, the ALJ concluded that Plaintiff's medically determinable impairments reasonably could be expected to cause his alleged symptoms. (AR 37.) The ALJ, however, found that Plaintiff's statements regarding the intensity, persistence and limiting effects of these symptoms were not entirely credible to the extent they are inconsistent with the ALJ's RFC assessment. (AR 37.) Because the ALJ did not make a finding of malingering, he was required to provide clear and convincing reasons supported by substantial evidence to discount Plaintiff's credibility. Smolen, 80 F.3d at 1283-84. The ALJ did so.
The ALJ plainly discounted Plaintiff's subjective symptoms because they were not supported by the objective medical evidence. (AR 37.) The ALJ found that no medically determinable impairment supports Plaintiff's assertion of constant pain that reduces concentration and causes depression, and that none of the B criteria for mental reasons had been established. (AR 37.) The ALJ also found no documentation in the record to support Plaintiff's allegations that he has to lay down 7 hours during the day, gets no benefit from epidurals, cannot do anything, and his symptoms have worsened since 2003. (AR 37.) An ALJ is entitled to consider whether there is a lack of medical evidence to corroborate a claimant's alleged pain symptoms so long as it is not the only reason for discounting a claimant's credibility. Burch v. Barnhart, 400 F.3d 676, 680-81 (9th Cir. 2005); Thomas, 278 F.3d at 959.
The ALJ offered additional reasons for discounting Plaintiff's credibility. As already noted, Plaintiff saw Dr. Obrowski at 2-3 month intervals with treatment limited to refilling medications. (AR 37-38.) Conservative treatment is a valid basis for discounting a claimant's testimony regarding the severity of his symptoms. Parra, 481 F.3d at 750-51.
The ALJ also noted that Plaintiff had been over-medicating with narcotic prescriptions and had become opioid-dependent, based on the opinion of Dr. Martinez who saw Plaintiff in June 2009 and reviewed his medical records and prescription history. (AR 37, 38.) There is substantial evidence in the record suggesting Plaintiff sought prescriptions to feed his opioid abuse, not for treatment, as treatment notes reflect his chief complaint was "out of pain medication." (AR 363, 365, 366, 378, 380, 388, 392, 393.) Plaintiff's medication abuse is a valid reason for discounting Plaintiff's credibility. Gray v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 365 Fed. Appx. 60, 63 (9th Cir. 2010) (evidence of drug-seeking behavior is a valid reason for finding a claimant not credible); Lewis v. Astrue, 238 Fed. Appx. 300, 302 (9th Cir. 2007) (inconsistency with medical evidence and drug-seeking behavior sufficient to discount credibility); Morton v. Astrue, 232 Fed. Appx. 718, 719 (9th Cir. 2007) (drug-seeking behavior is a valid reason for questioning a claimant's credibility). Plaintiff argues that the record does not support a finding that he was opioid-dependent but, dependent or not, the record does indicate drug-seeking behavior, which is sufficient to support an inference of abuse and to discount Plaintiff's credibility under the case law cited above. The ALJ's interpretation of the record was reasonable and should not be second-guessed. Rollins, 261 F.3d at 857.
The ALJ also discounted the lay witness testimony of Plaintiff's wife and friend. (AR 35, 37, 38.) Lay witness testimony regarding a claimant's symptoms is "competent evidence that an ALJ must take into account," unless the ALJ "expressly determines to disregard such testimony and gives reasons germane to each witness for doing so." Lewis v. Apfel, 236 F.3d 503, 511 (9th Cir. 2001); Smolen, 80 F.3d at 1288-89 (to reject lay witness testimony, ALJ must make findings "germane to each witness, and supported by substantial evidence"). The reasons germane to each witness must be specific. Bruce v. Astrue, 557 F.3d 1113, 1115 (9th Cir. 2009). Lay witness testimony cannot be disregarded without comment. Stout, 454 F.3d at 1053. In rejecting lay witness testimony, the ALJ need not cite the specific record as long as "arguably germane reasons" for dismissing the testimony are noted, even though the ALJ does not "clearly link his determination to those reasons" and substantial evidence supports the ALJ's decision. Lewis, 236 F.3d at 512. The ALJ also may "draw inferences logically flowing from the evidence." Sample v. Schweiker, 694 F.2d 639, 642 (9th Cir. 1982).
The ALJ properly discounted the lay witness testimony of Plaintiff's wife and friend because it was inconsistent with the objective medical evidence and with Plaintiff's RFC. (AR 37, 38.) Inconsistency with medical evidence is a germane reason for discounting lay witness testimony. Bayliss, 427 F.3d at 1218; Lewis, 236 F.3d at 511. Also, the testimony of Plaintiff's wife and friend mirrored that of Plaintiff himself and as a result the ALJ's reasoning for discounting Plaintiff's testimony extends to the testimony of Plaintiff's wife and friend as well. Valentine v. Commissioner, Soc. Sec. Adm., 574 F.3d 685, 694 (9th Cir. 2009).
* * * The ALJ's RFC is supported by substantial evidence. The ALJ's non-disability determination is supported by substantial evidence and free of legal error.

Week 1: Akron at UW
Madison - Well, since I'm back in the box at Camp Randall Stadium for the 2008 opener summer is officially over.
And since Wisconsin is on its normal practice schedule I can't whine about those closed practices during preseason camp.
Don't worry, I'll find something else to complain about. [:D]
As for business today, despite the fact many questions remain to be answered about this Wisconsin team there is no doubt that UW will win comfortably today against Akron.
The spread is 26 1/2 so we'll go with UW 38, Akron 10.
I'm just glad I'll be able to watch it. [:D]

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Brian
B. Duff, Judge, presiding.
Rehearing denied September 20, 1985.
Plaintiff, Beverly Hayes, appeals from an order granting defendant, Kay Chemical Company's motion to strike and dismiss plaintiff's two-count first amended complaint, which alleged in count I products liability and in count II negligence. The pertinent facts appear from the properly pleaded allegations, and are admitted by defendant's motion to dismiss.
Kay Chemical Company was in the business of manufacturing and distributing a product called McD Grill Cleaner, which it sold exclusively to McDonalds Restaurants as a grill cleaner. The cleaner was a colorless, odorless, caustic liquid. On September 21, 1980, an employee of the McDonalds Restaurant in Homewood used a towel saturated with McD Grill Cleaner to clean an appliance in the restaurant and then left it lying in the kitchen area. Plaintiff later picked up the towel and wiped her hands and arms with it, not knowing the towel was wet with the grill cleaner. As a result, plaintiff suffered severe and permanent burn injuries and scars. The following language was used to describe both defendant's negligent conduct and the defective and unreasonably dangerous nature of the product:
a. It was so designed and manufactured such that it was a caustic substance that was odorless or colorless.
b. Failed to warn users of its product that it was caustic.
c. Failed to warn users of its product that said product should not be soaked into cloth or failed to warn its users that if they did so, this would present a risk of injury to the public.
In the circumstances of this case, involving allegations that the cleaner had no odor and no color and allegations that defendant failed to warn persons coming in contact with it that it was not water and therefore not harmless, the difference between strict liability and negligence becomes immaterial. Jonescue v. Jewel Home Shopping Service (1973), 16 Ill. App.3d 339, 306 N.E.2d 312.
Defendant notes that plaintiff was not a user of the product and asserts that a manufacturer of a caustic liquid has no duty to warn persons coming into incidental contact with the product after it has been removed from the original container. Under Illinois products liability law, the user-nonuser dichotomy is not helpful in fixing the limits of the liability of the manufacturer of a product. The manufacturer has the non-delegable duty to make a product which is reasonably safe. (Anderson v. Hyster Co. (1979), 74 Ill.2d 364, 385 N.E.2d 690.) Illinois has imported from the law of negligence into the law of products liability the familiar test of foreseeability to limit the incidents for which a manufacturer can be held liable for breach of that duty. The Jonescue court held that a manufacturer's liability is not limited to users of the product. There, Donald Jonescue, as parent and guardian of his minor daughter, sued Jewel Home Shopping Service for injuries sustained by his daughter when she drank from a bottle of cleaner manufactured and sold by the defendant. The court said:
"Defendant reasonably could anticipate that in the process of use for its intended purpose in the home environment Jetco All Purpose Cleaner might be placed in close proximity to children. A jury therefore could properly find it foreseeable that at some point in time a child would drink from a bottle of the cleaner so placed." Jonescue v. Jewel Home Shopping Service (1973), 16 Ill. App.3d 339, 345.
• 1 In the instant case, Kay Chemical Company admitted that the grill cleaner was caustic and dangerous, thus it was aware that the product was likely to cause harm. If a manufacturer knows or should know that harm could result from a particular use of his product, he has a duty to warn against such use. (Fuller v. Fend-All Co. (1979), 70 Ill. App.3d 634, 638, 388 N.E.2d 964; Stanfield v. Medalist Industries, Inc. (1975), 34 Ill. App.3d 635, 340 N.E.2d 276.) A duty to warn will be found where defendant knows or should know that harm might or could occur if no warning is given. Weiss v. Rockwell Manufacturing Co. (1973), 9 Ill. App.3d 906, 912, 293 N.E.2d 375; Kirby v. General Paving Co. (1967), 86 Ill. App.2d 453, 457, 229 N.E.2d 777. See Peterson v. B/W Controls, Inc. (1977), 50 Ill. App.3d 1026, 366 N.E.2d 144.) We hold that the question here, of whether plaintiff's use of the towel to wipe her hands was foreseeable, was one which properly should be left to the jury.
If it is found that the facts placed upon Kay Chemical Company a duty to warn, the question becomes whether that duty extends beyond proper packaging and labeling of its dangerous product as plaintiff urges. Defendant contends that plaintiff's argument would impose upon it a duty it cannot possibly fulfill when she claims that a manufacturer's duty to warn or in some manner identify a liquid caustic material extends beyond the original package.
At law, warnings have been divided by function into two classes: those which shift the risk or reduce it. Products which are unavoidably unsafe may require a warning which informs that harm sometimes results from their use. If this warning is adequate, consumers then proceed to use those products at their own risk. On the other hand, there are warnings, like that advocated by plaintiff, which are intended to reduce the probability that harm would occur at all from an otherwise dangerous product. The adequacy of warnings of either type usually presents jury questions. (Palmer v. Avco Distributing Corp. (1980), 82 Ill.2d 211, 412 N.E.2d 959.) In the present case, there is no issue before us as to whether a warning on the package or label of the product would have prevented plaintiff's injuries. However, we are not prepared to hold as a matter of law that Kay Chemical Company's duty to warn that the caustic liquid it sold was not harmless did not extend beyond labeling and packaging.
A question similar to that here was presented in Ziglar v. E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Co. (1981), 53 N.C. App. 147, 280 S.E.2d 510. In that case a tobacco farmer bought a clear liquid insecticide manufactured by DuPont. He placed the chemical in the back of his pickup truck, where he also had iced water and paper cups for the refreshment of his workers. One of them, thinking the colorless liquid was water, drank some of it and died. In reversing a summary judgment in favor of DuPont, the court said:
"The law requires a manufacturer to eliminate the dangerous character of goods to the extent that the exercise of reasonable care, considering all of the circumstances, enables him to do so. [Citation.] It is not without significance, therefore, that Du Pont began bottling Vydate L in gray, opaque containers, on 24 May 1974, shortly after this tragic accident occurred, as requested by the State of North Carolina, and that it added amber coloration to the colorless poison in January 1975. Thus, on this record, a critical factual issue, and one not susceptible to disposition by summary judgment, was whether Du Pont was negligent in manufacturing an inherently dangerous toxic substance without taking reasonable precautions to decrease the risk of its lethal confusion with ordinary, harmless drinking water." 53 N.C. App. 147, 155, 280 S.E.2d 510, 516.
• 2 We find the reasoning of the court in Ziglar persuasive. We cannot say as a matter of law that Kay Chemical Company had no duty in manufacturing this dangerous liquid to take the reasonable precaution of adding coloration or some other distinctive characteristic to decrease the risks of its being mistakenly taken to be harmless water. For the foregoing reasons, the order granting defendant's motion to strike and to dismiss plaintiff's first amended complaint must be reversed.
Plaintiff asserts here for the first time that the grill cleaner was negligently designed to include an unnecessarily high concentration of caustic chemical. We do not pass upon this additional theory of the case not pleaded below, nor do we pass upon plaintiff's right to replead to assert it, those questions not being properly before us.
Reversed and remanded.

Visually beautiful, but mentally disorienting.
I like the emotion portrayed by the characters. Their innocent movements and expressions gave them a feeling of grace, and the animation with the fire and the water was impressively smooth. The piano music was pretty generic, but it fulfilled its intended purpose well enough with its simplicity.
However... I honestly felt the storytelling was awkward and the message was really unclear.
When Sparker meets Aquanna, they don't interact in almost any way aside from the momentary discovery that they can't touch each other. They pop into existence and meet within seconds, with no logical reason to have an extraordinary love connection with each other. A mechanical monster appears from out of nowhere, and then as much time is spent with Sparker fighting the beast than with the relationship at the beginning of the movie. Something about the pacing just made Sparker's actions seem unnaturally sudden and overreactive.
The ending seemed to imply that, after the obvious conflict, none of the characters actually died, seeing as there was a water flow that meshed together with the fire and the robotic creature to form a human being--except, in this case, it's a cyborg rather than a real human. Does this mean war is the key to new life? That seems like an odd message. The movie seems to take place in a post-apocalypse; does the message have to do with cyborgs retaining the cycle of humanity? That seems a little strange, too. It might be a much simpler message about love and determination, though in reality, slaying the murderer of your best friend doesn't bring your friend back. Or it might be a message about the inner conflict of a person reflecting who they are, though the post-apocalyptic setting seems like it would be a really cryptic way of sending such a message. With so little clarity, it seems like this wasn't made with a definitive meaning in mind in the first place.
I can see how you could find yourself connected to the simple charm of the characters, but this feels much less like a thought-out story than it does a mere special effects showcase. Understandably, that's all you might have needed to present this to a university, but it's important with an idea like this to know exactly what kind of metaphor you're trying to create, and to have some sense of realism in the events you hope to reveal. Even animations with a lot of heart lack true effectiveness without an equal amount of brain.
Brilliant animation, but the story suffers.
The animation, soundtrack and design were all spectacular, and its obvious a lot of work has been put in to this.
I have to say though, that I find it a shame you decided to go with this story rather than something simpler.
The characters have a lot of charm, and I could see myself really gaining an emotional attachment to them, but there on screen for such a very brief amount of time that there is no real build up.
You don't get to see there relationship grow, you don't have any real justification for why the flame character gets so enraged at the death of someone he has known for barely a few seconds.
Not only that, but this enemy has absolutely no explanation.
We don't know if destroying these towers is justified.
Are they evil?
Is there some dark force living inside them?
Or is the flame killing them solely for revenge of what could have been an accident?
I would love to see this converted into a series, where the story could build slowly over time, rather than being rushed through it, and we could be properly be introduced to these characters and the threats there facing.
All in all, this was a VERY good flash.
Its just a bit of a shame that the story didn't quite have the power behind it that it could have.
Well, the animation was well done. I especially liked the animation of Sparker and Aquanna. The soundtrack also fit the mood and was pretty good. But then the story came in. Basically, this was my reaction by the end of it:
Wha- what?
The story didn't really make sense. Alright, so a Fire Boy and a Water Girl meet when suddenly BAM. Water Girl dies from a giant castle that randomly springed up out of the ground and crushed her. The castle magically lifts up to show Water Girl dying, and then dead a few seconds later. Fire Boy now wants revenge apparently, flies up to the castle, and obliterates it in one shot. Then a giant mech pops out of the rubble and transforms into a...human?! What?? Then the credits roll.
I'm sorry, but that didn't feel touching at all. You had only met the characters for about a minute before one of them gets killed off (literally: the character is introduced at 00:12 and dies at 01:10). You need to have the character alive for a little while so that when she dies, the reaction is much more emotional than just "Oh. Water Girl died I guess."
And the ending made no sense. Where did the mech come from? Why did it turn into a human all of a sudden? Where was Fire Boy? WHAT JUST HAPPENED THERE?!
I'm still giving it 3 stars for the animation, and another half a star for soundtrack. Good job on that. Work on your story and I think this might be pretty good. :)

Beautiful, but lacking.
There's no doubt that the animation itself of this piece was beautiful, but I felt as if the story was lacking. The water girl and fire boy only interact for a few seconds, yet the boy does all he can to destroy the monster who killed her. There needs to be something there to show that the two beings are close to each other and that they've been together through tough times and that they made each other happy, which would then absolutely qualify the boy to risk his own life for the girl. 7/10 stars.
7/10, 3/5, i could just get a hampster,a lighter and a cup of water, drop a stone in the cup(making the cup break and water go into carpet/splash). have the lighter brun the rock,POSSIBLE, and have the hampster just stand there, that,is what i feel like im watching,i HATE "emotional" flashes on NG,i don't come here to cry or whatever the fuck this video's purpose was,overall nice piano work and very well put together flash

Send your little angels to their first day of school with style. This cute bag from Lelanie Denso will hold their crayons and pencils as well as their little lunch boxes. Homemade crafts for kids have never been this cute and easy. The other kids will be jealous.
- 4 pcs. 9" by 8.5" for fron and back panels
- 4 pcs. 3" by 6.5" side panels
- 2 pcs. 9" by 3" base
- 2 pcs. 9" by 4" front pocket
- 2 pcs. 1.5" by 23" sling
- Get your front pocket pieces, place them facing right sides together and sew a straight stitch along the longer side.
- With your pocket pieces wrong sides together, topstitch.
- Get one of your front/back pieces and sew on your pocket using a basting stitch.
- Sew on your embellishment if you decide to put one. I used felt for my Li'l Guy's first name's initial.
- Take one of your base pieces and place it right sides together with your front piece (you could see my basting stitches). Sew a straight stitch then zigzag stitch to keep your edges from fraying. After attaching your base piece, it will look like this.
- Now, get one of your bigger pieces for your bag's back side. Make sure your print is not upside down and attach it to your base piece.
- Get one of your side panels and place it right sides together and aligned with your base piece. Sew it on with a straight stitch and zigzag stitch.
- Now, attach your back and front panels to the long side of your side panel. Straight stitch then zigzag stitch. Do the same to the other side.
- Get one of your bigger pieces and sew on your velcro, about 1" from the top. Do the same to the other piece.
- Attach your base and side panels. But do not forget to leave 2" unsewn on one side of your panels while you are attaching your side panel to your back or front panel.
- Get your sling piece. Place them right sides together and sew a straight stitch on both longer sides.
- Turn your piece.Topstitch. You could iron first then topstitch if you want but I was in a hurry to finish this so I could prepare our dinner ^^) You could also iron on some interfacing before sewing them on (procedure before this) but I did not have any interfacing on hand.I need to buy some the next time we go to the city.
- Get your bag's outer piece (the one with the pocket) and sew on your sling with a basting stitch on each side.
- Get both bag pieces, place your bag's inner piece inside the outer piece, right sides together. Make sure your sling piece is safely tucked inside.
- Sew a straight stitch leaving 1/4" seam from the edge.
- Turn your piece through the unsewn part of your bag. So, it will look like this.
- Topstitch, leaving a 1/8" seam from the top of your bag. And you're done.
