Having unwanted fat in different areas of your body can have a substantial impact on your health and self-confidence. While conventional weight reduction through workout and diet plan is an excellent way to lose weight in general, even the best exercises cannot target issue areas like the stomach, inner thighs, arms, and buttocks. Liposuction is a time evaluated treatment that is used to get rid of excess fat from particular areas of the body, enabling an individual to form and contour their body to their taste. Is liposuction right for you? Find out now.
Pros of Liposuction
There are lots of advantages to this cosmetic procedure, including:
• Instantly visible changes. Unlike traditional weight loss, liposuction creates changes that are instantly noticeable in the body. Some difference is visible right away, and the wanted results are normally achieved in just a couple of days.
• Proven and safe. This cosmetic procedure has actually been performed by seasoned surgeons all over the world for many years and the technique has been refined over and once again to be safe and reliable.
• Healing time is usually fast. The downtime required after having this kind of treatment is generally much less than exactly what is needed for other types of cosmetic treatments, consisting of abdominoplasty, breast reduction, and more. People who have had the procedure can frequently go back to work much more rapidly than they prepared for and can return to living a healthy, active lifestyle.
• Weight-loss can be long-term. With the right maintenance strategies, the fat that was eliminated throughout the liposuction treatment will not return.
• Complete control over your physique. With liposuction, a person can have complete control over how they wish to look, beyond exactly what standard diet and exercise can provide. Giving individuals this power over their bodies enhances self-confidence and help individuals feel their very best.
While there are numerous advantages to liposuction, there are obviously a couple of cautions that should be taken into account before making the final decision to move forward with the treatment.
Cons of Liposuction
Prior to having liposuction done, it is essential to examine the possible disadvantages of the procedure and identify if the benefits outweigh the dangers in your certain case. Your surgeon can help you learn more about the threats associated with the treatment and can help you decide if moving on is the ideal thing for you.
• Problems with basic anesthesia. Due to the fact that liposuction is carried out under basic anesthesia, the procedure brings the very same threats as any other type of surgery where general anesthesia is utilized. Underlying medical conditions may enhance these risks.
• Unfavorable responses. Bruising, bleeding, and discomfort are all to be anticipated, nevertheless, in unusual cases can trigger more significant problems.
• The prospective to gain the weight back. After having actually liposuction done, it is critical to maintain a healthy diet plan and exercise correctly as advised by your doctor. Failure to do so could cause gaining back the weight that was lost or perhaps even more.
Although there are threats related to liposuction, for lots of people, the advantages far outweigh them. Educate yourself about the treatment by having thorough conversations with your specialist and think about how liposuction has the prospective to impact you as an unique person. Just you and your cosmetic surgeon can identify if liposuction will supply you with the outcomes you are searching for within your expectations.

I am currently attending Colorado School of Mines in Golden Colorado pursuing a Civil Engineering Degree with an emphasis on structural design. I enjoy tutoring because I love it when a student has an ah ha moment and their face just lights up as they grasp a new concept that they were struggling with and find themselves getting excited with the material. I am really passionate about providing the tools and time necessary for my students to have their ah ha moments. I really love tutoring math and physics because students don't usually see the practicality or applicability of what they are learning and this degrades from the educational experience. I love to provide my students with examples of how the "tedious" equations or formulas are actually used to create many of the objects of technology that they use every day. However I am particularly passionate about teaching Physics 1: Mechanics. This is one of the first classes that students begin to take the math they have learned and apply it to real world problems. When I have free time I typically spend it outdoors going backpacking, climbing 14'ers, volunteering, and spending time with my friends having random adventures.

SUGAR BOWL; Syracuse Deprived Of Perfect Ending
By PETER ALFANO, Special to the New York Times
Published: January 2, 1988
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1— From one cluster of reporters to another, Dick MacPherson, the Syracuse coach, moved about the basement corridors of the Superdome late this afternoon, closely guarding the Sugar Bowl championship trophy and his emotions as well. His team had left the field at the end of today's game unbeaten but unhappy, an eventuality that was simply not considered by MacPherson and his staff when they devised a game plan a month ago.
With four seconds remaining and Syracuse leading, 16-13, Auburn was on the Orangemen's 13-yard line with time remaining for one more play. A pass play, no doubt, like one of the 11 completions that enabled Jeff Burger, the Tigers' quarterback, to lead his team - the Southeastern Conference champion - within range of victory.
But Pat Dye, the Auburn coach, was not thinking of a touchdown when he instructed his team to take its last time out. ''When a football team plays with that much class and character,'' he said afterward, ''it would be too hard to go back to Birmingham with a loss.'' 'War Chicken, War Chicken'
So he went for the tie, a decision that might make him almost as unpopular back home in Alabama as he was with the Syracuse fans who chanted, ''War Chicken, War Chicken,'' mocking the Auburn War Eagle cry.
A 30-yard field goal by Win Lyle with one second left gave Auburn a 16-16 tie, depriving the Orangemen of their first perfect season since 1959. Instead, they finished 11-0-1, unbeaten, but looking as dejected as any team could that did not lose.
''This game,'' said Don McPherson, the senior quarterback, ''will fester in my mind. When you've come as far as we have just to finish in a tie, that's tough to deal with. You're empty, numb. You can't be happy, you can't be sad.''
There was no escaping the irony for Syracuse. All week long they were reminded that their only chance of finishing No. 1 in the country was if they defeated Auburn to complete a perfect season and top-ranked Oklahoma and No. 2 Miami tied in tonight's Orange Bowl game.
''That's all that people were talking about,'' McPherson said. ''What a nasty taste this leaves.''
And it did not go unnoticed that Lyle's first name is Win, an option that Dye rejected, drawing boos even from some of the Auburn fans as he left the field. ''It was the biggest field goal of my career,'' Lyle said, ''but I would have preferred if it were a winning field goal. I thought that after Syracuse scored, I could rest and we would go for a touchdown.'' First Sugar Bowl Tie
It was the first tie in the 54-year history of the Sugar Bowl, which is now sponsored by USF&G, an insurance company. Although MacPherson had possession of the trophy, a duplicate will be made for Auburn. The Syracuse coach carried the heavy trophy everywhere he went during the interview session, practicing the kind of diplomacy that perhaps only his fellow coaches understand.
In the locker room after the game, he had instructed the players to keep their feelings to themselves. They had left the field without exchanging handshakes with the Auburn players, afraid of what they might say.
Now, as MacPherson encountered his wife, Sandra, before just one last television interview, she reminded him: ''Be careful, Dick. Be careful.''
Earlier, he referred to the tie as a loss, telling his players as much. He wondered aloud about what was going through Burger's mind when Dye made his decision. ''Jeff likes to hunt and fish,'' MacPherson said, ''and you don't go hunting and fishing just to get close.'' Five Sacks for Tigers
The game had been a struggle for the Syracuse offense. Auburn's speed and size enabled it to contain McPherson most of the game, thus minimizing the chances of a big play. He was sacked five times and admitted, ''I was just looking for a place to stand out there.''
The Orange resorted to pounding the middle, using the power of Daryl Johnston, the fullback, and the slashing runs of the tailback Robert Drummond. And McPherson played well when it mattered most, generating two important second-half drives that resulted in the tying and go-ahead field goals. He was named the most valuable player.
''I think Don McPherson did a great job,'' his coach said. ''If anyone didn't like the way he played, blame me. I was congratulating him all day.''
Syracuse did not lead until Tim Vesling's third field goal - a 38-yarder - put the Orange ahead by 16-13 with 2 minutes 4 seconds to play. MacPherson sent in Vesling for what he considered a sure thing rather than attempt a fourth-and-inches play at the Auburn 22-yard line.
The players believed the 3 points would be enough for a defense that had played very well despite the absence of Ted Gregory in the second half when the nose tackle was sidelined after aggravating an injured knee. They thought Burger would fail on that last pass attempt that never came.
''Our coach,'' Vesling said, ''would have gone for a touchdown.''
Ultimately, McPherson may blame himself more than Dye for the unsatisfactory ending. Syracuse was unable to generate its offense inside the Auburn 25-yard line, which forced it to settle for those three field goals. And one potential touchdown drive was squandered when a delay-of-game penalty nullified what would have been a first-and-goal at the Auburn 1-yard line.
Syracuse also believed it was victimized by the officials. Deval Glover, who caught a 12-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter for the only touchdown, thought he had another in the second quarter when he dived into the end zone, cradling McPherson's pass. The official ruled the pass incomplete, although replays appeared to show Glover caught the ball.
''Maybe 20 years from now, I can look back and say we were unbeaten in 1987, but tied in 1988,'' McPherson said. ''But not now.''

Family Tributes To Reading Crash Victim
Russell Lee died following hit and run as he crossed London Road last month.
Work starting on an emergency gate on the M4 on the Berkshire/Wiltshire border, which can be used to release traffic should the road be closed after an incident.
The gate, which will be installed in the central reservation of the motorway between junctions 14 and 15 between Newbury and Swindon, can be opened by the Highways Agency or the emergency services to allow drivers stuck behind the scene of a crash to turn around onto the opposite carriageway.
Work is expected to be complete by the end of the month. Highways Agency project manager Rob MacKenzie said: "The distance between junctions 14 and 15 is around 12 miles, which means that - if an incident closes the road - a lot of drivers can become stuck on the motorway. This gate will allow the Highways Agency and emergency services to direct these drivers on to the opposite carriageway, where they can return to the previous junction and pick up the diversion route.
"This is part of our commitment to making sure that the M4, which is a vital national artery, is as resilient as possible."
From Wednesday, the hard shoulder on the eastbound M4 will be closed while work gets underway. Then, from Monday 14 January, there will be narrow lanes and a 50mph speed limit on a 1.6 mile section of the road in both directions past the work site, which is just to the east of junction 15.

After crazy dialing my Fireman 4 or 5 times without his answer (he was at work..) I decided to ask the 'meat guy' for help. He proceeded to explain that the brisket flat cut, which is also referred to as the thin cut or brisket-deckel-off (say that 5 times fast!), is a leaner and thinner piece of meat than the point cut of the brisket, and is the best choice between the two. The point cut is also known as the thick cut, and contains significantly more internal fat running throughout the meat as pockets of fat. (blechh..) As I glanced back and forth at the two different cuts, the flat cut, the better cut, was in a HUGE package. "Sir.. I don't exactly need 14 pounds of brisket for just my Fireman and me. While I do like leftovers, I'm not sure I could get through all that meat." I just needed about a quarter of that amount! The 'meat guy' was so nice and took the time to cut and package just the amount I needed for my slow cooker recipe. This is why, when I find a place I like to shop, I am fiercely loyal to my supermarket. While some are loyal to a particular market because it's convenient, I'm more influenced by the quality of two things: produce and meat/seafood (and the willingness of the employees to make my life easy.. but I don't really say that out loud too much.)

Thank you Shay for sharing this recipe, helping me to understand brisket basics and inspiring bellies to be full of greatness.

For the first half of the autumn term, the Christian value we will be considering is 'Justice'. Throughout assemblies as well as in class, ideas about playing and working fairly in school will be explored in conjunction with the launch of our new behaviour policy. We will also be thinking about how we can stand up for justice in our school and local community and in global terms, consider how fairly traded goods ensure justice for workers throughout the world.
This value ties in well with this term's British values which relate to what it means to live within a democracy and under the rule of law. We will be exemplifying a democratic process as the children nominate and vote for members of the School Council as well as House Captains for the year. Please take the time to discuss the importance of voting for the most suitable candidate with your child rather than necessarily opting for the person who is most popular or their particular friend.
For the second half of this term, our Christian value is 'Trust'. As a school, we will explore what it means to demonstrate trust in our friends, peers and other members of the school community as well as those in the wider sphere. We will also consider when it is necessary to exercise caution and to be aware of the dangers of trusting strangers both online and in person as well as clarifying how to be safe. Being a trustworthy person is also an aspect of this value that we will be thinking about; including how to be a good friend and responsible member of the community.
Please explore these values with your child(ren) at home and feel free to raise any issues, concerns or comments with your child's teacher or either headteacher.

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.ELIZABETH L. WALTON, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Atlantic County, Municipal Appeal No. 29-08.
Submitted April 21, 2009
Before Judges Wefing and Yannotti.
Defendant Elizabeth L. Walton appeals from a judgment entered by the trial court on June 6, 2008, denying her petition for post-conviction relief. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
This appeal arises from the following facts. On October 12, 2006, defendant was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI), reckless driving and failure to maintain lane. On January 8, 2007, defendant pled guilty to the DWI charge. The other charges were dismissed on the motion of the municipal prosecutor.
The municipal court informed defendant of the sentence that would be imposed by reason of her DWI conviction. Defendant's driving privileges would be suspended for seven months. She would be fined $306 and required to spend twelve hours at a Intoxicated Drivers Resource Center. In addition, the court would impose a DWI surcharge, a Violent Crimes Compensation Board assessment, and an assessment for the Safe Neighborhood Services Fund. Defendant also would be required to pay court costs.
The municipal court stayed the sentence pending the Supreme Court's decision regarding the use of results from the Alcotest breathalyzer testing systems in DWI matters. See State v. Chun, 194 N.J. 54, 67-68 (2008) (noting that the matter had been remanded to a Special Master in January 2006 and the sentences of all first-time DWI offenders were stayed if their cases involved the use of Alcotest results). The municipal court informed defendant that once the Supreme Court decided Chun, she would "have to come back . . . and resolve everything on the record[.]"
Thereafter, defendant was charged with DWI on March 21, 2007 and April 14, 2007. In March 2008, shortly before those matters were scheduled to be heard, defendant filed a petition for post-conviction relief in the municipal court. Defendant alleged, among other things, that, when she entered her plea on January 8, 2007, she had not been advised of the enhanced penalties that could be imposed for a second, third or subsequent DWI conviction. Defendant sought an order barring the imposition of enhanced penalties mandated by N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 in the event she were to plead guilty or be found guilty of DWI in the pending matters.
The municipal court considered the petition on March 14, 2008. The municipal court denied the petition, noting in its decision on the record that since defendant's sentence had been stayed, it had anticipated that defendant would return to court after the stay was lifted. The court stated that, at that time, defendant would have been advised of the penalties that could be imposed upon a subsequent DWI conviction. The municipal court entered an order dated March 14, 2008, denying the petition.
Defendant filed a de novo appeal to the Law Division. The court considered the appeal on May 27, 2008, and placed its decision on the record on that date. The court determined that the enhanced penalties under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 for second, third and subsequent DWI convictions must be imposed regardless of whether defendant was advised of the statutory penalties prior to commiting any subsequent violations of the statute. The court entered an order dated June 6, 2008, denying defendant's petition. This appeal followed.
On appeal, defendant argues that her right to due process of law was violated because, at the time she entered her plea to DWI on January 8, 2007, the municipal court failed to provide her with oral or written notice of the penalties that could be imposed for a subsequent DWI conviction. Defendant therefore maintains that the sentence imposed as a result of her plea is an illegal sentence that cannot be used for the purpose of imposing enhanced penalties for a second, third or subsequent DWI conviction. We disagree.
N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(a) provides among other things that "a person who operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, narcotic, hallucinogenic or habit-producing drug, or operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or more by weight of alcohol in the defendant's blood" is subject to certain penalties. N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(c) further provides in pertinent part that:
[u]pon conviction of a violation of this section, the court shall notify the person convicted, orally and in writing, of the penalties for a second, third or subsequent violation of this section. A person shall be required to acknowledge receipt of that written notice in writing. Failure to receive a written notice or failure to acknowledge in writing the receipt of a written notice shall not be a defense to a subsequent charge of a violation of this section. [Ibid.]
As the record reflects, the municipal court did not provide defendant with the oral or written notice required by N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(c) when she entered her guilty plea on January 8, 2007. We are nevertheless convinced that the municipal court's failure to provide defendant with notice of the enhanced penalties that could be imposed for a second, third or subsequent DWI conviction did not bar the court from imposing such penalties.
Our decision in State v. Petrello, 251 N.J. Super. 476 (App. Div. 1991) is instructive. In that case, the defendant was charged with DWI and, before that charge was resolved, the defendant was charged with and pled guilty to a subsequent DWI charge. Id. at 477. After the defendant pled guilty to the first charge, he was sentenced to enhanced penalties under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 because it was his second DWI conviction.
Ibid. The defendant argued that he was not subject to the enhanced penalties as a second offender because, "at the time of the commission of the offense leading to the second conviction, he had not then received the mandated oral advice by the court of the penalties for a second, third or subsequent violation." Id. at 478.
We rejected that contention, noting that, were we to accept the defendant's argument, we would be frustrating "the obvious legislative intent to provide enhanced penalties for each subsequent conviction of the statute." Ibid. We stated that this interpretation of the statute would "reward the defendant who intentionally or negligently fails to appear in court and subsequently violates the statute because he could not then be sentenced as a subsequent offender." Ibid. We accordingly held that the enhanced penalties of N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 must be imposed at sentencing on entry of a second drunk-driving conviction, regardless of the order in which the violations occurred and whether or not defendant had previously been advised orally or in writing of the penalties for a subsequent violation. [Id. at 479.]
The principle enunciated in Petrello applies in this case. The penalties mandated by N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 must be imposed upon any second, third or subsequent conviction under the DWI statute, notwithstanding the fact that, when defendant entered her plea to the initial charge of DWI, she was not informed of the enhanced penalties that could be imposed pursuant to the statute.

JAMES FOSTER-EL ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.BERETTA U.S.A. CORP. ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Document Nos. 25, 26, 27, 38, 39, 43
This case arises out of a shoot-out that took place in the District of Columbia. Helen Foster-el, an innocent bystander, was caught in gunfire between neighboring youths and killed on June 21, 1999. On June 20, 2000, James Foster-el, her husband, and Michelle Foster-el, one of her daughters (collectively, "the plaintiffs"), individually and as personal representatives of her estate, moved to amend the complaint in a District of Columbia Superior Court case related to the shoot-out, to join the other plaintiffs in that case. The same day, the plaintiffs also filed suit in D.C. Superior Court against various gun manufacturers ("the defendants") alleging liability for Ms. Foster-el's death under various tort theories ("the instant case").
The defendants removed the instant case to federal court. Three months later, the Superior Court judge in the related case allowed the plaintiffs to amend the complaint to join the plaintiffs in the related case. The plaintiffs now move to stay proceedings in the instant case.
A. The Shooting Incident
On June 21, 1999, Helen Foster-el ("Ms. Foster-el") was injured and killed during a shoot-out between youths in the East Capitol Dwellings housing project in the District of Columbia. See Compl. at 4, 10. Two of the young men were armed with 9-millimeter handguns. See id. at 10. After the firing began, bystanders started to scatter. See id. Some residents ran into their homes or into other neighbors' homes as Ms. Foster-el tried to protect nearby children from harm. See id. As she guided one girl into a house, she was shot in the back and in the leg. See id. Ms. Foster-el died soon after the shooting in front of one of her daughters, Prudence Foster-el. See id.
The police recovered more than 20 9-millimeter shell casings at the crime scene. See id. During the autopsy, one 9-millimeter bullet was found in Ms. Foster-el's chest and another in her leg. See id. at 11. In connection with the shooting, one man has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, another man was found guilty of manslaughter, and two other men have been charged with related crimes. See id.
B. Theories of Liability
The parties have little, if any, disagreement about the facts. Rather, their dispute focuses on who should be held liable for Ms. Foster-el's death. The plaintiffs essentially contend that the gun-manufacturing industry is at fault. *fn1 The plaintiffs allege liability for Ms. Foster-el's death under three different theories. Count I alleges strict liability, Count II alleges negligent distribution of firearms, and Count III alleges that the defendants are collectively liable to the plaintiffs. See id. at 19-21.
In Count I, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants are strictly liable under the District of Columbia's Assault Weapons Manufacturing Strict Liability Act, D.C. Code § 7-2551.01 et seq ("the Strict Liability Act"). See id. at 12-13, 19-20. The plaintiffs claim that the defendants have "manufactured, imported, or sold one or more assault weapons ... or one or more machine guns (as defined by the [D.C. Code])." See id. at 19. According to the plaintiffs, the defendants have proximately caused Ms. Foster-el's death and are liable under the Strict Liability Act. See id. at 12-13, 19-20.
In Count II, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants are liable for negligently distributing firearms in the District of Columbia. See id. at 20-21. According to the plaintiffs, the defendants had a duty "to not create an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm from the distribution of their firearms, and to take reasonable steps to limit this risk once it had been created." See id. at 20. The plaintiffs claim that the defendants breached their duty by, for example, failing: to adequately investigate or screen their distributors and dealers; to adequately monitor, supervise, and regulate their distributors' and dealers' methods of distributing and selling firearms; and to adequately train and encourage their distributors and dealers to ensure compliance with federal, state, and District of Columbia laws. See id. at 17. According to the plaintiffs, the defendants have proximately caused Ms. Foster-el's death and are liable for negligent distribution of their firearms. See id. at 20-21.
In Count III, the plaintiffs allege that, in addition to individual liability, the defendants are collectively liable to the plaintiffs because the defendants' "tortious conduct has collectively caused the circumstances" that caused Ms. Foster-el's death. See id. at 21.
C. Procedural History
On June 20, 2000, the plaintiffs moved to amend the complaint in a case related to the instant action, District of Columbia and Bryant Lawson v. Beretta U.S.A. Corp., et al. ("the Lawson case"), to join the other plaintiffs in that case. See Pls.' Mot. to Stay Proceedings at 1. On the same day, the plaintiffs also filed the instant case to preserve certain causes of action before the statute of limitations expired in case the plaintiffs' motion to amend the complaint in the Lawson case was not granted or was challenged on appeal. *fn2 See id. at 1-2. On July 12, 2000, defendant Colt's Manufacturing Company, Inc. removed the instant case to this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a). *fn3 See id. at 1. After being added to the Lawson case, the plaintiffs moved to stay proceedings in the instant case. *fn4 See id. at 1-2.
A. The Colorado River Doctrine
Despite the district court's "unflagging obligation" to exercise the jurisdiction it has been granted, the Supreme Court has articulated various exceptions setting forth when a federal court can abstain from exercising jurisdiction. See generally, Colorado River Water Conservation Dist. v. United States, 424 U.S. 800 (1976). For example, the district court may abstain from exercising jurisdiction in certain exceptional circumstances of parallel, duplicative litigation in the interest of sound "judicial administration, giving regard to conservation of judicial resources and comprehensive disposition of litigation." See id. at 817 (citations omitted).
In Colorado River, the United States brought suit in federal court seeking a declaration of water rights on various federal lands. See id. at 805-06. One of the defendants subsequently moved to join the United States as a party to a state-court proceeding to adjudicate all the claims made by the United States in federal court. See id. at 806. After the United States was served, other defendants moved to dismiss the federal action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. See id. at 806.
Without deciding jurisdiction, the district court stayed proceedings because "the doctrine of abstention required deference" to the state court. See id. The Tenth Circuit reversed, holding that the district court had jurisdiction and that abstention was inappropriate. See id. The Supreme Court reversed the Tenth Circuit and reinstated the stay. See id. at 821.
Subsequent cases have clarified that the court should not look for reasons to exercise jurisdiction, but should determine "whether there exist 'exceptional' circumstances, the 'clearest of justifications,' ... to justify the surrender of jurisdiction." Moses H. Cone Memorial Hosp. v. Mercury Const. Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 25-26 (1983); see also Hoai v. Sun Refining & Marketing Co., 866 F.2d 1515, 1518, 1520-21 (D.C. Cir. 1989).
The Supreme Court has articulated the following factors that district courts need to consider in determining whether a case qualifies as exceptional under the Colorado River doctrine: (1) whether one court assumed jurisdiction over property first; (2) the inconvenience of the federal forum; (3) the desirability of avoiding piecemeal litigation; (4) the order of jurisdiction in the concurrent forums; see Colorado River, 424 U.S. at 818; (5) whether the case involves federal law; and (6) whether the state-court proceeding can adequately protect the parties' rights; see Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 23-26.
B. Application of the Colorado River Doctrine
1. Order of Jurisdiction Over Property
Generally, a court that assumes jurisdiction over property first may exercise that jurisdiction to the exclusion of other courts. See Colorado River, 424 U.S. at 818 (citations omitted). This case, however, does not involve jurisdiction over property. Accordingly, this first factor does not weigh in favor of or against abstention.
2. Inconvenience of the Federal Forum
If the federal forum is inconvenient for the parties involved, the second factor of the Colorado River doctrine favors abstention. See id. In this case, the D.C. Superior Court and this court are physically located only a few hundred feet apart. See Hurley v. Heilig, 28 F. Supp.2d 33, 35 (D.D.C. 1998) (Urbina, J.) (holding that there is no inconvenience of federal forum because the Superior Court and this court are in physical proximity to each other). Accordingly, this second factor does not weigh in favor of or against abstention.
3. Avoiding Piecemeal Litigation
Generally, the desirability of avoiding piecemeal litigation favors abstention. See Colorado River, 424 U.S. at 818. "Piecemeal litigation occurs when different tribunals consider the same issue, thereby duplicating efforts and possibly reaching different results." Travelers Indemnity Co. v. Madonna, 914 F.2d 1364, 1369 (9th Cir. 1990) (citations omitted).
The plaintiffs argue that allowing the instant case to proceed would lead to piecemeal litigation. See Pls.' Mot. to Stay Proceedings at 5. The defendants counter by relying on cases that declined to stay federal proceedings because of "mirror" actions in the Superior Court. See Defs.' Opp'n to Mot. for Stay ("Defs.' Opp'n") at 5 (citing Johnston Lemon & Co., Inc. v. Smith, 882 F. Supp. 4, 5 (D.D.C. 1995)). In Johnston, the court relied on the fact that the federal action and the Superior Court case were "mirrors" of each other. See id. In other words, the "decision of...one court...will dispose of all the parties' claims" in the other suit. See id. (emphasis added).
However, this court's decision in the instant case will not dispose of all the parties' claims in the Lawson case. Even if proceedings continued in the instant case, the remaining plaintiffs in the Lawson case will not be bound by this court's decisions. Moreover, allowing the proceedings to continue in this count would "result in messy, piecemeal litigation" because the parties would "litigate identical questions of law applied to identical facts in two separate forums." See Hurley, 28 F. Supp.2d at 35. This could lead to "contradictory or, at a minimum, irreconcilable rulings." See id. In sum, the desirability of avoiding piecemeal litigation in the instant case strongly favors abstention.
4. Order of Jurisdiction
The complaint in the Lawson case was filed on January 20, 2000 in the D.C. Superior Court. See Pls.' Mot. to Stay Proceedings at 4. The motion to amend the complaint to add the plaintiffs in the Lawson case and the complaint filed in the instant case were both filed on June 20, 2000. See Defs.' Opp'n at 6. The plaintiffs point out that the Superior Court has already ruled on several motions in the Lawson case. See Pls.' Mot. to Stay Proceedings at 4 (noting that the Superior Court has granted two motions to amend the complaint and has received "extensive briefing" on a motion for judgment on the pleadings).
The defendants counter by arguing that the order of filing and the plaintiffs' choice of forum do not justify a stay. See Defs.' Opp'n at 6. The defendants assert that the Lawson case is "barely ahead of this matter" and the Superior Court does not have "any greater familiarity with the issues" because the Lawson case has been re-assigned to another judge. See id.
At the outset, the court notes that the order-of-jurisdiction factor should not be applied mechanically. See Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 21. Rather, the factor should be applied "in a pragmatic, flexible manner with a view to the realities of the case at hand." Id. Priority, therefore, should "not be measured exclusively by which complaint was filed first, but rather in terms of how much progress has been made in the two actions." Id.
Applying this standard, the court notes that the complaint in the Lawson case was filed five months before the complaint in the instant case. In addition, the Superior Court has made more progress in the Lawson case than this court has made in the instant case. The Superior Court has ruled on two motions to amend the complaint and has received "extensive briefing" on a motion for judgment on the pleadings. See Pls.' Mot. to Stay Proceedings at 4. Similar progress has yet to occur in the instant case. In the instant case, the defendants have filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. The plaintiffs, however, have not filed their opposition because they moved to stay the proceedings. Accordingly, the defendants' motion has not been fully briefed. Furthermore, contrary to the defendants' assertion, the re-assignment of the judge in the Lawson case is not that significant. A case's progress depends on the case's docket. And in this case, for example, the re-assignment of the case to a new judge will not change the fact that the first judge already ruled on two motions to amend the complaint and that the defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings is already fully briefed.
The defendants also assert that the plaintiffs chose both of their forums and cannot complain now about proceeding in a federal forum. See Defs.' Opp'n at 6-7. This argument is unpersuasive. The plaintiffs did not choose to bring this case in federal court, but chose to bring their suit in the Superior Court. See Pls.' Mot. for Stay Proceedings at 1. Not only did the plaintiffs not choose the federal forum, they also tried to avoid bringing a separate case at all. Indeed, the plaintiffs have offered to voluntarily dismiss the instant case if the defendants agree to waive their statute of limitations defenses against them. See id. at 2.
In sum, the Superior Court has made more progress in the Lawson case than this court has made in the instant case and the plaintiffs did not "choose" the federal forum. Accordingly, the order-of-jurisdiction factor favors abstention.
5. Source of Law
Generally, litigation involving a federal law weighs against a federal court's abstention. See Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 23-24. It does not, however, follow that absence of a federal law always warrants abstention. See Johns v. Rozet, 770 F. Supp. 11, 16 (D.D.C. 1991).
This case involves difficult questions of state law and policy. The plaintiffs' case centers on the District of Columbia's Strict Liability Act. This Act is unique to the District of Columbia and attempts to protect the health, safety, and welfare of District residents. Furthermore, the D.C. courts have yet to interpret the Act. Because this matter involves difficult - and perhaps novel - questions of local law and policy, the source-of-law factor favors abstention. See American Bankers Ins. Co. v. First State Ins. Co., 891 F.2d 882, 886 (11th Cir. 1990) (stating that cases that "involve complex questions of state law ... would best be resolved by a state court"); Arkwright-Boston Mfrs. Mut. Ins. Co. v. City of New York, 762 F.2d 205 (2d Cir. 1985) (abstention warranted because of novel state law issues involving local safety codes); cf. Giardina v. Fontana, 733 F.2d 1047, 1053 (2nd Cir. 1988) (abstention not warranted because state law issues were of "garden variety").
6. Adequacy of State Court to Protect Rights
The last factor concerns the adequacy of the Superior Court to protect the parties' rights. The defendants argue that the Lawson case may take longer to adjudicate. See Defs.' Opp'n at 8-9. While this may be true, it is unclear how litigating the issues piecemeal would mitigate these concerns. Furthermore, the more comprehensive nature of the Lawson case favors abstention. See Sheehan, 102 F. Supp.2d at 5. Similarly, because the instant case involves only local law, "the Superior Court will be in no less a position than this court to adequately protect the interests of the parties." See Hurley, 28 F. Supp.2d at 36.
The defendants also argue that the Lawson case is complex and "creates inherent difficulties for the Superior Court and, in particular, for the jury." See Defs.' Opp'n at 8-9. First, the defendants do not point to any particular reason, nor is the court aware of any, why the Superior Court would have difficulty interpreting District of Columbia law. See id. at 9. Second, the defendants do not point to any particular reason, nor is the court aware of any, why it would prejudice them for a Superior Court jury, drawn from the same pool of prospective jurors that this court utilizes, to resolve complex issues. See id. The Superior Court is more than capable of handling the Lawson case and has measures available to ensure that parties are not prejudiced in any way by the jury. Without a more specific showing, this court will not accept the defendants' feeble and baseless argument that the Superior Court will have "difficulties" adjudicating the Lawson case because it is "complex." In sum, the parties' rights in the Lawson case will be protected in the Superior Court action.
Accordingly, this last factor favors abstention. Because four of the six factors under the Colorado River doctrine weigh heavily in favor of abstention (and two are neutral), the court will abstain from exercising its jurisdiction.
For all these reasons, the court grants the plaintiffs' motion to stay proceedings. An Order directing the parties in a manner consistent with this Memorandum Opinion is separately and contemporaneously issued this 28th day of September, 2001.

Experienced. Thorough. Reliable.
A freelancer since 2006, I have edited nearly 200 manuscripts for independent authors, traditional publishers, and editing services companies all over the United States. I specialize in copyediting and line editing, both nonfiction (biography/memoir, education, how-to, self-help) and fiction (action/adventure, sci-fi, general interest). I view myself as an unseen assistant, working in the background to fix mistakes, improve readability, and ensure clarity while preserving the author's voice and intent. Ultimately, my goal is to help writers produce books they're proud of.
I am also a published author specializing in educational nonfiction for children and young adults. Among my writing credits are biographies on Malcolm X and Pocahontas, an award-winning book on economies around the world, and a 350-page informational text for high school athletes.
Update: Sports: The Ultimate Teen Guide is now available in paperback! VOYA describes it as "an easy-to-read, approachable book about sports and why they matter for high school students." Click here to check out the book and reader reviews on Amazon.
"Please know how impressed I am with your level of expertise and attention to detail. . . . If your ears ring today, it's because I'm telling one of my friends how blessed I am to have you working on my behalf."
"Gail was wonderful to work with. She did a great job cleaning up our coaching manual, providing a clear voice and keeping us on track."

Nice!love it frome where the music?
It's a great song
It gets an 8 for it's not the full version. I like Ken's voice more, it's like HYadain made 5 people sing his voice. And for people who don't want to buy this song, if you own an iPhone, download the MxTube App and download your favorite videos, including Hyadain's music.
Watch the inanimated one for the full version of the song ( only on youtube)
so wish I could get this song
I hate the fact that nobody's got this song, least that's what I know so far, I love this guy's songs, >.<
A great music video.
This was pretty creative with the song and the video that went with it had a lot of funny moments plus it went great with the song,the animation looked really good as well so overall this was a swell Street Fighter music video to watch.
I heard the song on youtube and wanted to make an animated one...but u did it already...
I was wondering why the score isnt any higher...but...once i saw it..i understand.
Nice idea...thought..really nice.Remake?

The John Newbery Medal is a literary award given by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association (ALA). The award is given to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Named for John Newbery, an 18th century English publisher of juvenile books, the Newbery Medal was proposed by Frederic G. Melcher in 1921, making it the first children's book award in the world. The medal was designed by Rene Paul Chambellan and depicts on an author giving his work (a book) to a boy and a girl to read. The Newbery and the Caldecott Medal are considered the two most prestigious awards for children's literature in the United States.
