United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, E.D
May 17, 1973
ELLA SAUNDERS ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.WILLIAM E. CAHILL ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
This cause comes on the defendants' motion to dismiss the
complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil
This is an action to redress the alleged deprivation of the
plaintiffs' civil rights as guaranteed by the Fifth and
Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and
protected by 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiffs also seek a
declaratory judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2201.
The plaintiffs are 52 certified civil service employees
occupying various titles and positions in diverse departments of
the municipal government of the City of Chicago. The named
plaintiffs are all members of Local 505, Council 19, American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO
("Local 505") which, according to the plaintiffs, consists almost
exclusively of employees of the City of Chicago. The plaintiffs
allege that Local 505 has been a voluntary association existing
for the purpose of, in part, negotiating for and representing its
members in connection with their hours, wages and working
conditions as employees of the City of Chicago.
The plaintiffs bring this action as individuals and as
representatives of a class consisting of the members of Local
The defendants are William E. Cahill, Reginald Dubois and
Quentin J. Goodwin, respectively President and Commissioners of
the Chicago Civil Service Commission, and Richard J. Daley, Mayor
of the City of Chicago.
The Civil Service Commission of Chicago is responsible for
establishing and administering a civil service system for the
classification, selection, promotion, and severance of certain
types of employees employed by the City of Chicago pursuant to
Chapter 24 of the Illinois Revised Statutes § 10-1-1 et seq.
The plaintiffs, in their complaint, allege, inter alia, the
following facts:
1. The State of Illinois, by statute, has established
a civil service system for the City of Chicago and
defined the respective rights and obligations of
the Commission and the employees of the City of
Chicago.*fn1 The state statute requires that the
local Civil Service Commission establish rules for
its governance not inconsistent with the
statute.*fn2 In general, under the statute,
positions in the classified civil service subject
to the jurisdiction of the Commission must be
filled by an objective and open system of
examination.*fn3 Pursuant to this system of
examinations, the local Civil Service Commission is
required to prepare and
maintain a register of eligible persons for filling
vacancies in employment for the City of
Chicago.*fn4 Vacancies within the Chicago Civil
Service are to be filled within the service by an
objective and open system of examination.*fn5 The
state statute specifically prohibits the filling of
vacancies in any other manner, except under
extraordinary circumstances for temporary
periods.*fn6 Further, the state statute
specifically prohibits the use of corrupt or
political influence in securing positions or
promotions within the civil service system.*fn7
2. The defendants, jointly and severally, have failed
and refused to disclose or make available for
inspection general information and lists of
employees in the Chicago civil service system. More
specifically, the defendants have failed and
refused to make available for inspection the lists,
names or any information concerning the vacancies,
appointments or present positions held by
individuals on temporary appointment. The
plaintiffs contend that temporary appointments to
vacancies in the Chicago civil service system,
instead of providing for the right to such
vacancies via examinations and eligibility tests,
subvert the rights of the individual plaintiffs and
the class which they seek to represent as members
of the Chicago civil service system. Further,
unless full disclosure is made by the defendants,
it is impossible for the plaintiffs individually or
as representatives of a class, to determine whether
their rights of promotion and appointment within
the Chicago civil service system
are affected and whether they should initiate
appropriate procedures to secure their rights.
3. No procedure has been established by the
defendants by which employees of the City of
Chicago under the civil service system can process
grievances or complaints to the commission or
officials of the City of Chicago. More
specifically, no grievance procedure exists for the
purpose of protesting the failure to appoint to a
vacant position in the said civil service system
nor is there a procedure to determine that such
vacancies exist or are being filled by a temporary
appointment. Neither the Illinois statute, the
ordinances of the City of Chicago, nor the rules of
the commission require public disclosure of
information concerning certified and temporary
appointees within the civil service system of the
City of Chicago. The plaintiffs, on information and
belief, claim that the substantial majority of said
temporary appointments exceed the 120 limit, and
are not for the purpose of preventing the stoppage
of public business or to meet extraordinary
exigencies. Further, the temporary appointment
system has been used and is being used for the
purpose of providing initial employment and
promotion for political reasons.
4. The actions of the defendants, individually and
jointly, are in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the
Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution
of the United States. More specifically, the
defendants, in refusing to provide information
concerning temporary appointments within the civil
service system of the City of Chicago have denied
the plaintiffs, both named and as a class, the
effective right to seek redress of grievance, due
process and equal protection. The plaintiffs have
been denied equal protection of the laws and
freedom of speech and assembly by the defendant
public officials, in that preference for
appointments to positions within the civil service
of the City of Chicago have been and are being
based upon political consideration.
The defendants, in support of their motion to dismiss, contend
1. Rights established by state law are not subject to
a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or the United States
2. There is no violation of the United States
Constitution or 42 U.S.
C. § 1983 by officials' refusal to disclose
information equally to all.
3. There is no vested or Constitutional right to
public employment.
4. Plaintiffs' conclusory allegation of political
preference, unsupported by facts, will not suffice
to bring their claim within the purview of
42 U.S.C. § 1983 or the United States Constitution.
It is the opinion of this Court that defendants' motion is
Title 42 U.S.C. § 1983 was originally enacted as Section 1 of
the Anti-Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, 17 Stat. 13 (1871). This Act
was aimed primarily at vindicating constitutional rights which
were being abused in the post bellum South. Soon after its
enactment, Congress revised this so-called civil rights statute
as to protect all federal rights, constitutional or statutory.
Screws v. United States, 325 U.S. 91, 65 S.Ct. 1031, 89 L.Ed.
1495 (1945); Hague v. Committee for Industrial Organization,
307 U.S. 496, 59 S.Ct. 954, 83 L.Ed. 1423 (1939). This statute is now
codified in 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
It is clear that if the plaintiffs have a right to information
concerning vacancies filled by temporary appointees and the right
to apply for promotion to such vacancies, these rights are
derived solely from the law of Illinois. The plaintiffs rights
are not rights secured by the constitution or laws of the United
States within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The alleged
deprivation of plaintiffs' state created rights is not the proper
subject of a claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Dorsey v.
N.A.A.C.P., 408 F.2d 1022 (5th Cir. 1969), cert. denied,
396 U.S. 847, 90 S.Ct. 58, 24 L.Ed.2d 97. See also Snowden v. Hughes,
321 U.S. 1, 64 S.Ct. 397, 88 L.Ed. 497 (1944); Sigler v. Lowrie,
404 F.2d 659 (8th Cir. 1968); Charters v. Shaffer, 181 F.2d 764 (3rd
Cir. 1964).
It is well settled that the plaintiffs' alleged right to have
the relevant state law strictly obeyed is not a federal right
protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1871, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, or
the Constitution of the United States. Nationwide Amusements,
Inc. v. Nattin, 325 F. Supp. 95 (W.D.La. 1971); Sauls v. Hutto,
304 F. Supp. 124 (E.D.La. 1969); Gentry v. Howard, 288 F. Supp. 495
(E.D.Tenn. 1968); Kelly v. Wyman, 294 F. Supp. 893 (S.D.N Y
1968); Love v. Navarro, 262 F. Supp. 520 (C.D.Cal. 1967); Bradford
v. Lefkowitz, 240 F. Supp. 969 (S.D.N.Y. 1965). The non-existence
of a federal right in the instant action does not foreclose the
plaintiffs from seeking appropriate relief in an Illinois State
court, whose duty is to interpret and enforce the laws of
Illinois, the source of the plaintiffs' alleged rights.
However, a plaintiff seeking redress from a United States
District Court for an alleged constitutional violation by a
government employer must sufficiently allege his claim and the
putative unconstitutional acts of the government employer.
The plaintiffs, in their complaint, claim that while no state
statute, city ordinance or civil service regulation requires
public disclosure of information concerning certified and
temporary appointees within the civil service system of the City
of Chicago, the defendants' refusal to make such information
available to them as a group violates the Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendments to the Constitution of the United States by
effectively denying them the right to seek redress of grievances,
due process and equal protection.
Nowhere in the plaintiffs' complaint is it alleged that the
information which they seek is made available to others as
opposed to them and the class they purport to represent. Since no
contention is made of unequal treatment or establishment of any
restrictive classification, it is clear that the plaintiffs have
failed to demonstrate an unequal protection claim.*fn9 Miller v.
Kusper, 445 F.2d 1059 (7th Cir. 1971). Further the plaintiffs
have failed to demonstrate that they were deprived of any vested
right without procedural due process.*fn10 See Tichon v. Harder,
438 F.2d 1396 (2nd Cir. 1971); Parker v. Board of Education of
Prince George's County, 237 F. Supp. 222 (D.C.Md. 1965), aff'd,
348 F.2d 464 (4th Cir. 1965), cert. denied, 382 U.S. 1030, 86
S.Ct. 653, 15 L.Ed.2d 543 (1966); McLaughlin v. Tilendis,
398 F.2d 287 (7th Cir. 1968); Birnbaum v. Trussell, 371 F.2d 672 (2nd
Cir. 1966).
The plaintiffs in the last paragraph of their complaint allege
that they have been denied equal protection of the law, freedom
of speech and assembly in that
preference for appointment to positions within the civil service
have been and are being based upon political considerations. Such
an allegation, though always serious, is not sufficient to state
a cause of action. The plaintiffs make this allegation in broad
conclusory terms, without setting forth any direct relation to
any of the facts alleged previously in the complaint. This
allegation is clearly insufficient to state a cause of action
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or a claim for a violation of the
Constitution of the United States. Miller v. Kusper, supra. See
also Finley v. Rittenhouse, 416 F.2d 1186 (9th Cir. 1969); Lee v.
Wilson, 363 F.2d 824 (9th Cir. 1966); Birnbaum v. Trussell,
supra; Stiltner v. Rhay, 322 F.2d 314 (9th Cir. 1965); Stanturf
v. Sipes, 335 F.2d 224 (8th Cir. 1964); Huey v. Barloga,
277 F. Supp. 864 (D.C.Ill. 1967); Danner v. Moore, 306 F. Supp. 433
(W.D.Pa. 1969).
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the defendants' motion
to dismiss is granted.

Christmas comes but once a year — a regrettable fact for shopkeepers and children alike. However, it appears that W H Smith has managed to escape the tyrannical grip of Father Christmas by ditching low-margin entertainment products, such as CDs and DVDs, and by opening in locations where the impulse purchase outstrips the stocking filler.
Kate Swann, the chief executive, revealed yesterday that less than half of its annual profit is now made during November and December, compared with more than 90 per cent six years ago. W H Smith has pushed into railway stations, airports and workplaces such as office

Ted Kaufman is the former Chair of the Congressional Oversight Committee of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)
He was formerly the United States Senator from Delaware.
Ted arrived in the Senate with significant experience, having served as Chief of Staff to Sen. Biden from 1976 to 1995. He used that experience to his advantage. Less than a month after arriving in the Senate, he introduced the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act with Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA). The bipartisan legislation, signed into law by President Obama on May 20, 2009, strengthens the tools and increases the resources available to federal prosecutors to combat financial fraud.
Ted remained a leading voice in the financial debate, successfully pushing the Securities and Exchange Commission to strengthen its short selling rules and advance market structure reforms in such areas as high frequency trading. He was extremely active in trying to solve the problem of financial institutions deemed "too-big-to-fail," calling for a re-imposition of the Glass-Steagall Act, which would separate commercial and investment banking activities.
Along with Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Ted in April introduced the SAFE Banking Act of 2010, which would cap the size of banks based on their assets and liabilities. His provisions on health care fraud enforcement, which expanded the government's capacity to investigate waste, fraud and abuse in government and private health care, were included in the historic health care bill.
Initially appointed to two committees - the Judiciary Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee - Ted was assigned to two more panels in March, 2010: the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and became the first Delaware Senator to serve on the Armed Services Committee. He was also assigned to the Impeachment Committees of federal judges Samuel B. Kent and G. Thomas Porteous Jr.
Ted was one of the leading Senate voices supporting international press freedom, public diplomacy and an expanded civilian role in counterinsurgency operations. He co-authored the only piece of legislation on Iran signed into law last year: the Victims of Iranian Censorship (VOICE) Act, which supported increased U.S. broadcasting in Iran, as well as the development of Internet censorship circumvention tools.
Ted made three trips to Afghanistan, Pakistan and four trips to Iraq while in office, as well as two visits to Israel and the West Bank, and trips to Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Kuwait, Egypt, Turkey and Syria. During those trips, he met with U.S. troops and military leaders, as well as regional officials, including Afghan president Hamid Karzai, Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki, Pakistan President Zardari, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Lebanon Prime Minister Hariri, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, and Syrian President Assad.
As the Senate's only member to have worked as an engineer, Ted was especially active in promoting the expansion of "STEM" - science, technology, engineering and mathematics - education. He was able to secure $400,000 to fund research and extension grants for women and minorities in STEM fields in a spending bill signed into law on October 16, 2009. In April 2010, Ted received the American Society of Mechanical Engineering's prestigious President's Award, presented to companies and individuals who have made significant contributions to the engineering profession. On December 21, 2010 the America COMPETES Act was signed into law which includes Ted's STEM Education Coordination Act which provides overall coordination of federal programs and activities in support of STEM education.
A former federal employee, Ted went to the floor each week to honor a wide variety of federal employees, from a lawyer at the Securities and Exchange Commission to a technician in the National Guard. During his term he made floor statements on the accomplishments of 100 federal workers.
Ted was born on March 15, 1939, in Philadelphia, PA, to Helen Carroll and Manuel Kaufman. He graduated from Duke University with a BS in mechanical engineering. He later earned an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1966, Ted moved to Delaware to work for the DuPont Company, and in 1972, joined Joe Biden's long-shot U.S. Senate campaign on a volunteer basis. He began working full-time for Biden in 1973, and three years later, became Biden's chief of staff - a job he held for 19 years.
Since 1991, Ted has taught a number of courses at the Duke University's School of Law, Sanford School of Public Policy and Fuqua School of Business.
From 1995 until 2008, Ted was a Board member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), the independent, autonomous, federal entity responsible for all U.S. government and government-sponsored non-military international broadcasting. He was appointed to the BBG by the Presidents Clinton and Bush and was confirmed by the Senate for four terms.
He lives with Lynne, his wife of over 50 years, in Wilmington, DE. They have three children, Kelly Lance, Murry Pierce, and Meg Hartley, and seven grandchildren.

When Amelia Earhart took off from a polo field here 73 years ago on Friday to become the first woman to fly solo across the country and back, her first stop was Bellefonte, Pa., where she landed on a grassy airstrip and was treated to a lunch of fried eggs and ham at a nearby farmhouse.
When Dr. Carlene Mendieta, a California periodontist, sets off on Wednesday morning to try to recreate Earhart's 1928 flight, her first stop will also be Bellefonte. A high school now stands where the airstrip was, so she will land at the local airport. But the fried eggs and ham are already on order.
Despite the hurdles posed by decades of change, Dr. Mendieta, 47, is determined to replicate the historic flight down to its tiniest details: flying the same type of open-cockpit airplane, landing in the same fields, eating the same meals at the same women's clubs and meeting many of the same people who greeted Earhart as children. She even has the same tousled haircut and a wardrobe painstakingly modeled on the pilot's, down to a scarf custom-made to match Earhart's favorite.
Dr. Mendieta and her sponsors say that a realistic re-enactment of the flight, one of Earhart's earliest aviation records, is the best way to rekindle interest in Earhart's career as a pioneer flier and women's rights advocate -- a life, they say, that is still overshadowed by her disappearance over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.
''The biggest question I get is, 'Are you going to replicate the crash into the ocean, too?' '' Dr. Mendieta said. ''Amelia deserves to be remembered for her life, not just her disappearance.''
The plane Dr. Mendieta will fly -- a restored 1927 Avro Avian biplane -- has few modern improvements, and poses many of the same hazards as it did for Earhart. Although the doctor is 16 years older than the 31-year-old Earhart was in 1928, she has roughly the same level of flying experience that Earhart did at the time.
Earhart called the trip a two-month ''flying vacation'' to let her go ''vagabonding'' across the country from New York to California and back. She landed in 23 cities and towns, a trip of 5,500 miles.
Dr. Mendieta plans to take three weeks, visiting all 23 spots and landing in fields and on grass airstrips whenever possible. She plans to dine and stay at many of the same places that Earhart did. In McNeal, Ariz., for example, the McNeal Ladies Aid Society is eagerly awaiting to greet Ms. Mendieta as warmly as they did Ms. Earhart.
Of course, with nearly three-quarters of a century gone by, total replication is impossible.
''A lot of these fields where Amelia landed, there are shopping malls or tract homes now,'' Dr. Mendieta said. ''A lot of these small airstrips are now major airports, and we had to get special clearance.''
For example, the polo field here where Earhart took off is now the driving range for the Westchester Country Club, so Dr. Mendieta will leave from the Westchester County Airport in White Plains. She was also unable to get permission to land on the main street in Hobbs, N.M., where Earhart was forced to land when she got lost.
When Earhart planned her trip, she hoped to avoid news-media attention, but her sponsor, George Palmer Putnam, the publisher and author she would later marry, clandestinely promoted the trip, alerting the news media in each community Earhart approached.
For Dr. Mendieta's flight, the publicity campaign has been more thorough. Organizers hired a public relations firm and set up a Web site, www.ameliaflight.com, to post flight updates and allow users to send the pilot e-mail messages during her flight.
The flight is being sponsored and promoted by Gregory E. Herrick, 49, a vintage plane collector from Wyoming. Mr. Herrick, who owns a publishing company, HistoricAviation, plans to follow Dr. Mendieta in a Cessna loaded with spare parts and publicity material.
For the re-enactment flight, he bought the Avro Avian in Australia in March. It was made three weeks before Earhart's at the same British factory; the Earhart plane was sold and broken up in the 1930's.
Mr. Herrick had heard about this periodontist who loved flying out of grass airports in the Sonoma, Calif., wine country. She owned five taildraggers -- planes built to take off from and land on fields -- and flew them without the help of a radio or modern navigational aids.
''When I asked her to do this,'' he recalled, ''she said, 'I'm not going to have to use a radio, am I?' ''
Actually, she will use one, as well as a hand-held global positioning system. Dr. Mendieta, who got her pilot's license just two years ago, has logged only about 20 hours on the plane, squeezing in practice flights between her busy schedule of patients.
A self-professed tomboy who works on her own plane engines, Dr. Mendieta said she wanted to spread Earhart's message that women should challenge traditional roles. She said she chose Earhart as her idol during her childhood in Nevada, watching her rancher neighbors use taildragger-style Piper Cub planes to tend their herds. She learned to fly while in dental school.
When Mr. Herrick met her, he was surprised that she even resembled Earhart, down to the trim frame and the boyish good looks. ''She was perfect,'' he recalled. ''Right out of Central Casting.''
The 1928 flight set one of Earhart's most important records, as well as being one of her last opportunities to fly freely without being instantly recognized as a celebrity, said Susan Ware, author of ''Still Missing: Amelia Earhart and the Search for Modern Feminism'' (W. W. Norton, 1993).
''It was the most fun she ever had as a pilot,'' Ms. Ware said. ''She could go wherever she wanted and just fly, without being burdened by some huge schedule.''Continue reading the main story

Earhart parents stand up for teachers
We got a nice e-mail from Mindi Chen-Kao late last week letting us know that parents at Amelia Earhart Elementary School were getting together outside the school Monday morning to show support for 13 teachers who were being notified that they could be laid off at the end of the school year. The 13 teachers make up half the school's teaching staff, and they were on a list of more than 148 teachers (including temporary teachers) who were told Monday they could be laid off.
"All of the 13 teachers who may not return next year, or even worse, who may leave the teaching profession permanently, are passionate educators who have taken pay cuts and are suffering the same pink slips, year after year because they believe in educating our future leaders, THE KIDS!" Chen-Kao wrote. She was kind enough to also send along this photo.

Clear Channel lenders fight to delay trial date
Six banks being sued by their private equity clients over the collapse of an almost $20bn (â¬12.7bn) deal are trying to avoid an embarrassing court struggle, which could result in them being forced to back the deal, saying they are keen to continue negotiating.
Buyout firms Bain Capital and Thomas H Lee Partners are suing the banks for refusing to fund the $19.5bn (€12.5bn) acquisition of US media company Clear Channel Communications.
However, the banks yesterday asked a New York judge to reject the buyout firms' request for a quick trial date saying they want to continue to negotiate a buyout deal instead, according to newswire Bloomberg.
Bain and Thomas H Lee have asked for a May 5 trial. A hearing on April 3 will decide on the quick trial proposal.
The private equity houses, which are suing Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Royal Bank of Scotland, Wachovia and Deutsche Bank, are claiming the banks have sought to change the terms of the deal and thus make it unacceptable. They told the newswire that the attempt to oppose a quick trial was a "run out the clock" strategy.
If negotiations drag on, circumstances for Clear Channel's buyout may become less favorable, making it even less likely the deal would go ahead.
The banks have instructed Manhattan law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell among their legal counsel. Bain and Thomas H Lee are primarily using a small New York firm, Friedman Kaplan Seiler & Adelman, which is well known in the field of general commercial litigation.

Could my 2nd grader be dyslexic?
We have been having problems with my 7 year old for 2 years now. At first, she was tested for ADD (per doctor) because homework was/is a nightmare. She cannot sit still, does not pay attention, basically cannot focus. ADD was ruled out and the teachers said she is doing well in school so we decided it was a personality issue. This year, I realized she was memorizing spelling patterns, thus passing tests. But she could not read the words back to me. She is getting straight A's but struggles to read. In 2nd grade, the teacher reads everything to the students and my child has remarkable memory skills (always has). We just received her IOWA test results and her composite score was 23. Her language skill was 7. The 2 highest scores (a 54) were in listening and math computation. I am beginning to wonder if her memory abilities is masking a reading problem. We still cannot manage homework with her and with the teachers permission, she only does as much as she can sit for. The teacher also commented that now that they are learning new skills and material, my daughter seems to be losing interest and focus. Should she be tested or are we overreacting? I do not want to be one of those parents, 5 years down the road, saying if only we checked this out. Are these examples symptoms of a learning disability?

This position is used as one of the tests (rotational stability) in Gray Cooks Functional Movement Screen. It's also an excellent way to practice balancing.
One of the first things that you can practice, even befor trying to balance, is spreading the shoulder blades to lift the ribcage. This action uses the serratus anterior muscle. When doing this action, you may find that your arm and shoulder feels more stable if you rotate the arms outwards. You can also try squeezing the elbow joint. If you aren't sure, or are having difficulty, practice lifting and lowering your ribcage. Note that I am not bending my spine backwards as I do this in the pictures below. I'm simply moving my ribcage relative to my shoulders.
The idea is to use this same action and keep it when supporting your weight on only one arm.
You can learn balancing cat pose in steps.
The first step is to lift the arm. On all fours:
When shifting your ribcage focus on feeling your hands. Notice when all of your weight is on one hand. The other arm may feel relaxed. Then you can lift that arm.
Make your neck feel long and reach that arm forwards.
Then relax and repeat.
Next with ribcage lifted at the shoulders,
When shifting your pelvis focus on feeling your knees. Notice when the weight of your pelvis is entirely over one knee. Then lift your other leg. Make your leg and spine feel long.
Then relax and repeat.
Next put these elements together for a complete balance exercise.
Focus on reaching forwards with the arm and back with the leg. Then release and repeat on the other side.
When I first started doing this pose I used to lift the leg first. But then I found it was easier to stay balanced when I lifted the arm first. Once you are used to this yoga pose you can try both options.
You can also experiment with shifting your weight fowards or backwards slightly. I find that when I shift my weight back the top of my back foot presses into the floor with more pressure. I can then use this foot to help make balancing cat pose easier.
Once you are used to balancing focus on making your arm, leg and spine long. And work at keeping your torso level from left to right so that the lifted limb side or your ribcage and pelvis is at the same height as your supporting limb side.
Note that their are also downward dog and plank variations of this yoga balance exercise.
Although this is mainly a balancing yoga pose, you can also use this yoga pose to strengthen the back of your body. Focus on using the hamstrings and glute of your lifted leg to lift the leg higher. And focus on using your spinal erectors to bend your spine backwards (and tilt your pelvis forwards) at the same time.

New Jersey Superior Court, Law Division
Decided: October 22, 1952.
HARRY R. HARDEN, PETITIONER-APPELLEE,v.MORRIS BASIN DRY DOCKS COMPANY, RESPONDENT-APPELLANT
On appeal from the Department of Labor and Industry, Division of Workmen's Compensation.
Duffy, J.c.c.
[23 NJSuper Page 49]
This is an appeal by respondent from a determination and judgment entered in the Division of Workmen's Compensation in favor of the petitioner. The appeal is pressed on two main grounds: (1) that petitioner's injury was not the result of an "accident" within the intendment of the Workmen's Compensation Act and (2) lack of notice or knowledge of the alleged injury within the statutory period of time, i.e. , 90 days.
The record discloses that on January 18, 1951, and for ten years prior thereto, petitioner had been employed by respondent as a ship's carpenter. He was then 66 years of age. He testified that on the date mentioned he and a co-worker were engaged in the shipyard in carrying on their right shoulders a 4 x 10-inch beam, approximately 12 feet long and weighing about 200 pounds. The yard had a surface of dirt and ashes. Petitioner was in the rear. Suddenly, "I had a sharp terrific pain run up my spine and I collapsed. * * * I went to the ground. I just simply -- my knees went out from under me -- * * * with the
[23 NJSuper Page 50]
crunching position the best way I could, with my back and legs all doubled up under me." In falling, the beam landed on top of him, or as he described it, "It went over me." The foreman almost immediately appeared at the scene and directed another worker to continue the carrying job. He assigned petitioner to light work aboard ship for the balance of the afternoon.
Petitioner testified that he has been in constant pain and under the care of doctors, both at home and in the hospital, since the described incident. He has not worked since that day.
Several physicians appeared on his behalf. The substance of their testimony was that on the date mentioned petitioner was afflicted with an osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the shoulders, knees and spine which disabled him to the extent of approximately 80 per cent as a working unit. They conceded that this disability is independent of and not causally related to the incident of January 18, 1951. However, it was their opinion that the accidental injuries when added to the latent condition contributed to the point where he is now totally disabled.
Dr. Siegel, a neurologist, appearing for petitioner expressed an opinion that he suffered a bilateral lumbosacral radiculitis as a result of the accident. On cross-examination he explained his conclusion that the condition found was the result of an accident, as follows:
"Q. * * * Now, with the background you have in this case what, other than a spontaneous onset of arthritic pain, can you put your finger on as the cause of a lumbar sprain?
A. Well, he was carrying this heavy plank on his back and his weight bearing is changing as he is stepping. Now, if he steps down a little, a little, just a little lower, or if he doesn't carry his weight bearing properly, with the already irritated back that he has, this thing could cause him a sprain as a result of altered weight bearing."
(It should be noted, as stated earlier in this opinion, that the surface upon which petitioner was walking was of dirt and ashes composition).
[23 NJSuper Page 51]
"Q. And you are assuming that the carrying of this beam was the injury?
A. It was the trigger mechanism of the injury."
Dr. Siegel estimated the disability at 20% of total, both neurological and orthopedic, after having conferred with Dr. Visconti, an orthopedist.
The latter testified that based upon the condition which he found attributable to the accident, his diagnosis was the residuum of a sprain of the lower back involving the lumbo sacral, the right and left lumbar areas. The accident itself he attributed to a "physiological over act." On cross examination he was asked,
"Q. Well, what is the over act upon which you are predicating the disability?
A. Well, he was carrying this particular load and, because of some physiological over act in an unguarded moment, twist or turn, he did suffer injury to his back for which he required treatment and because of which he subsequently became disabled."
And, on redirect examination,
"Q. Isn't it a fact that carrying a beam on your shoulder and in that fashion will create a torsion or stress on the back and spine, that in itself?
A. I think I have covered that, that it is most unusual for a man to distribute the weight perfectly where a man of this type has been also carrying a beam on his shoulder, which in itself would imbalance the weight bearing apparatus."
The hospital record and the testimony of other witnesses show that petitioner underwent a prostate operation on September 14, 1948 from which he was absent from work about six or seven weeks. They also show that on January 7, 1947 he sustained a back injury in an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment with the present respondent. He was treated for the injury by a company doctor but lost no time from work. However, he did not file a claim for compensation benefits despite the fact that the report of X-ray pictures taken in connection with his present claim show, "There is an abnormal degree of
[23 NJSuper Page 52]
broadening of the right transverse process of the third lumbar vertebra that is believed to be related to old injury and there was a reduction in the depth of the intervertebral space between the fifth lumbar and the first sacral segment with a moderate degree of bone condensation at the opposing surfaces."
In spite of the underlying arthritic condition, the back injury mentioned above, the prostate gland operation and the ordinary debilities which accrue with advancing years, petitioner had an excellent record for attendance and performance at his job. Even his supervisor, Ole Moy, who testified for respondent, when asked, "What kind of a worker was Mr. Harden?" replied, "A good worker."
Respondent resisted petitioner's claim primarily on the ground that the circumstances disclosed fail to show an "accident" within the contemplation of the Workmen's Compensation Act. The defense was predicated on a showing that the carrying of a log by petitioner was a routine, everyday task that he performed casually during all the years that he had worked for the company and it was, therefore, incumbent upon petitioner to prove an unusual strain or an unusual exertion or some condition unusual in the employment so that it would constitute a compensable accident.
The medical proof presented by respondent was limited, consisting only of a written report by Dr. Ruoff in which he stated, "His inability to work is associated with a generalized arteriosclerosis and a chronic arthritis of the spine. * * * There is certainly no disability in this case due to trauma."
The long accepted definition of an accident in New Jersey has been, "an unlooked-for mishap or untoward event which is not expected or designed," Bryant, admx. v. Fissell , 84 N.J.L. 72 (Sup. Ct. 1913); "an unintended or unexpected occurrence," Bollinger v. Wagaraw Building Supply Co. , 122 N.J.L. 512 (E. & A. 1939); it is an event happening at a specific time or occasion, Liondale Bleach Works v. Riker , 85 N.J.L. 426 (Sup. Ct. 1914).
[23 NJSuper Page 53]
The position taken by respondent in this case found support in a decision by the Supreme Court, Neylon v. Ford Motor Company , reported in 8 N.J. 586 (1952). However, after reargument, in a recently announced decision, 10 N.J. 325 (1952) the court, by virtue of an equal division, affirmed in favor of petitioner. This affirmance sustained an award which petitioner had previously received as reported in 13 N.J. Super. 56 (App. Div. 1951).
Mr. Justice Jacobs in the recent decision specifically rejects the contention that there must be a showing of unusual or extraordinary strain or exertion in establishing compensability under the Workmen's Compensation Act, relying on his reported opinion in Mills v. Monte Christi Corp. , 10 N.J. Super. 162 (App. Div. 1950) and other cases for support. In his concurring opinion Mr. Chief Justice Vanderbilt states:
"In cases such as the one here before us where the injury is orthopedic and presumptively traumatic, I am of the opinion that proof of unusual strain or exertion is not required by the workmen's compensation laws."
The second ground of appeal is lack of notice or knowledge of petitioner's accidental injury within the 90-day period, R.S. 34:15-17. Petitioner's proofs are not overwhelming. He testified that his boss, Ole Moy was "right there" when the incident occurred, that he discussed the happening with Moy and was relieved by him of the carrying job and assigned to lighter work for the balance of the day. His co-worker testified that he immediately turned after the occurrence and helped petitioner to his feet, that he saw Moy in the vicinity and also saw Moy and petitioner conversing and that Moy assigned a replacement worker to assist in the carrying job. A neighbor of petitioner's testified that on January 19, 1951, because of petitioner's inability, due to pain and discomfort, to go downstairs to use the telephone, he, as a favor, called Mr. Edler, the office manager, and advised him that Harden would not report
[23 NJSuper Page 54]
to work because he had a back injury. He stated that he called Mr. Edler on at least a dozen occasions within the next few weeks reporting petitioner's condition and asking that a doctor be sent to examine him. On cross-examination the witness admitted that on some of the calls his primary inquiry was whether certain disability benefits under a company policy might not be payable to Harden. Respondent contends, through Edler's testimony, that this was the purpose of all the calls.
Testimony was also offered that in answer to a postal card petitioner called at the office of respondent's insurance carrier on February 7, 1951. He was accompanied by the neighbor mentioned above. After interrogation by an investigator, a statement was prepared which petitioner refused to sign. The statement (in the first person) referred to the back injury sustained on January 7, 1947 and attributed all the pains and aches since occurring in his back to that incident. It further recited, "I have not had any other accident to my back other than the accident in January, 1947." Petitioner was not called in rebuttal to explain why he refused to sign the statement.
Two investigators of the insurance carrier who obtained the statement testified that their inquiry stemmed from a letter received, dated January 29, 1951, from Mr. Edler, the office manager of respondent, which said, in part, "The above employee has been sent to us by his Doctor to check on date of a back injury which according to our records occurred January 7, 1947. This man stopped work app. Jan. 12, 1951 and told us he was seeing his doctor about a possible arthritic condition which was bothering him." They also denied that petitioner had mentioned anything about the episode of January 18, 1951.
Ole Moy, the boss carpenter, denied witnessing the occurrence and could not recall having any conversation with petitioner on that day.
Where, as here, the credibility of witnesses is a primary issue, I am guided by the fact that since the deputy director
[23 NJSuper Page 55]
had the distinct advantage of personal observation of them, his conclusions, when based upon competent evidence, should not be lightly disturbed, Gilbert v. Gilbert Machine Works, Inc. , 122 N.J.L. 533 (Sup. Ct. 1939); Mason v. Evans , 5 N.J. Super. 338 (App. Div. 1949).
I am satisfied that respondent had sufficient notice or knowledge of the injury sustained by petitioner on January 18, 1951. As held by the court in General Cable Corp. v. Levins , 122 N.J.L. 383 (Sup. Ct. 1939), affirmed 124 N.J.L. 223 (E. & A. 1940), "We are firmly of the opinion, however, that the actual knowledge of the employer under R.S. 34:15-17 need not be either of the cause of the injury or of the resultant consequences."
In deciding this case I am most impressed by the point that despite his infirmities petitioner was able to perform his work to the satisfaction of his employer. As mentioned earlier, his boss described him as a good worker. Yet, suddenly, on January 18, 1951 he collapsed and from that day forward has been completely disabled. As stated by Mr. Justice Wachenfeld speaking for the Supreme Court in Galloway v. Ford Motor Co. , 5 N.J. 396, 400 (1950),
"While the evidence is conflicting, the medical experts not agreeing in many instances, the burden of proof from the record has been sustained. It points irresistibly to the conclusion that the accident was the cause of the disability. It is undisputed the respondent was healthy and vigorous before the accident and is now totally disabled and unable to work. This, in our opinion, according to the evidence, cannot be purely coincidental. It is reasonably inferable that the accident precipitated and accelerated the prior condition which produced the total incapacity."
It is therefore my conclusion that petitioner has established that he sustained an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment and that respondent had due notice thereof. Counsel may present, on proper notice, proposed findings of fact, conclusions of law and form of judgment consistent with the foregoing which should embrace also the details of nonissuable matters such as the compensation rate and the like.

Consider this — certain brand preferences are so rooted in us that it feels natural as breathing when we use one of these rooted products.
When I buy peanut butter, it's always going to be Jif. When I buy something online, my go to is Amazon. When I buy spices, they will be McCormick.
And when I search online, I use Google.
Thing is, I recently wrote a blog blasting Google Home. For those that don't know, the Home is Google's answer to the Amazon Echo: a stand alone, voice-activated speaker. It will play music you request, complete tasks rooted in its interface (like turning off your lights), and answer any trivial question you wish to ask it.
I remain steadfast in my claims about Google Home. I still don't trust the tech giant because I feel like it is always collecting and storing information on me and housing it in its servers.
Surely, I am not paranoid to suggest that. Right?
But then my mind comes back to this:
Google is unrivaled when it comes to search engines.
Admit it. It's Google and everyone else.
When I find someone using Bing or Yahoo!, I feel pity for them. Don't you feel the same? I wouldn't be surprised if these noobs still had a Hotmail account and frequented AOL from a dial-up modem.
So then, if I don't trust the intentions of the market leader, why the heck is it my preferred default search engine?
It always has the answers I need. It provides me the most relatable search options without the clutter. What's more, it's smart.
Therefore, being smart means using the Google search engine as I need it. It also means recognizing its power and not inviting it into my home imbedded in a speaker that's always on. That's not smart.

Keeping the Emotions in Check - This IU football team has had to face the reality of Terry Hoeppner's illness and then passing on a handful of occasions. From his absence at spring practice to the news of his passing to the Celebration of Life ceremony, it's been a difficult off-season for this team. They'll revisit things again Saturday when they play their first game after Hoeppner's passing.
It will be an emotion game, and it figures to reach a head before the game when IU plans to re-play the Terry Hoeppner video that was shown at the Celebration of Life ceremony in June. Some of the players I've talked with have said they don't know if they'll be able to watch the video because they don't know if they can keep their emotions in check as they gear up for the ISU opener.
IU Coach Bill Lynch admits it's impossible to know just how everyone will handle the emotions of the moment.
"I don't really have an answer for you on that," Lynch said. "I think it's one of those things that until you experience it, you just don't know. Each guy will experience it in his own way. I certainly think that Coach Hoeppner and his influence is all around this football program and has been since the day he came. There is so much of him that is still around here, from the sayings to the signs, and I'm sure our players are looking forward to it as well. But how each guy reacts to it is hard to say, but it is certainly something we are looking forward to and not shying away from. I will be very meaningful, not only to the fans but to the players and coaches and staff as well."
How will the Hoosier Secondary match up against ISU QB Reilly Murphy - While it might not be a huge concern for the Hoosiers, it's going to be interesting to see just how improved this IU secondary is from a year ago. During camp, Tracy Porter has looked like an All-Big Ten caliber corner, Leslie Majors has been singled out as the most improved player from last fall, and Nick Polk has looked like a big-hitting, big-play specialist at free safety. But that was camp, and they be tested by Murphy, who figures to put it up quite a bit on Saturday. The Hoosier coaches want to see if the corners look as good in a game as they have in practice, and just how Polk responds to his first game action at safety. Indiana figures to win this game handily, but if the Sycamores are able to move the ball up and down the field, that's a concern as the schedule gets tougher beginning next week at Western Michigan.
Can the Hoosiers stay healthy? - There's more depth on this year's team than in some time, but there are still a handful of players they can ill-afford to lose. Tops among those are quarterback Kellen Lewis, wide receiver James Hardy, cornerback Tracy Porter and defensive tackle Greg Brown, among others. Fall camp showed just how fragile things can be, when in one day Hardy, Porter and Brown all went down with injuries, none of which turned out to be serious enough to keep the players shelved for the opener. But it's a reminder how a team's fortunes can change quickly due to an injury or two, and the Hoosiers desperately want to avoid that on Saturday.
In a game that figures to be lopsided in the Hoosiers' favor, look for the Hoosiers to open it up early, try to race to a comfortable lead, and try to rest some of those players for next week's match-up in Kalamazoo. Indiana would love to get some extended work for back-up quarterback Ben Chappell, a redshirt freshman who hasn't taken a snap in a game since his senior season at Bloomington South H.S.

New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division
Decided: May 23, 1969.
STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.CLARENCE MOORE, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT
Conford, Kilkenny and Leonard. The opinion of the court was delivered by Kilkenny, J.A.D.
[105 NJSuper Page 568] Defendant was charged in an indictment with having, between August 1, 1967 and October 30, 1967, in the Township of Middle, in the County of Cape May, unlawfully and carnally abused a named woman-child under the age of 16 years and of the age of 12 years or over,
[105 NJSuper Page 569]
to wit, of the age of 14 years, he then and there being over the age of 16 years, contrary to the provisions of N.J.S. 2 A:138-1.
Defendant was tried before a jury and found guilty.
This statutory offense may be committed with or without the girl's consent. It is a high misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000, or by imprisonment for not more than 15 years, or both. Defendant was sentenced to a jail term of 250 days, the time already served.
It is undisputed that at the times of the alleged offense the girl was only 14 years old. Her birth certificate indicates the date of her birth as November 4, 1952. Defendant was 19 years old at the time of his trial on June 18, 1968. Accordingly, he more than satisfied the fixed statutory age of 16 years for the male when he "unlawfully and carnally abused" the girl, as those words are understood under the statute. He admitted in his testimony that he had sexual relations with her twice a week "from the beginning of September to the 28th of November." No force was used. But none need be, under the statute. As a result of the intercourse between them, the girl became pregnant.
The conceded facts above demonstrate a violation of N.J.S. 2 A:138-1 and require affirmance of the judgment of conviction.
The sole argument made on behalf of defendant on this appeal is that the trial court should have recognized as a defense in this statutory rape prosecution the fact that the accused reasonably believed that the prosecutrix was above the age of 16 years. He testified that she told him she was 16. The girl denied this. He said he believed that she was about 17, because "she looked older to me." The trial court sustained the State's objection to this line of questioning. In its charge to the jury, the trial court explained the three essentials of the statutory offense, viz., (1) the girl's age; (2) the young man's age; and (3) the sexual intercourse. The jury was told that the crime could be committed with or without the consent of the alleged victim. The jury
[105 NJSuper Page 570]
was not instructed that defendant's mistaken belief of the girl's age could be considered as a defense.
In 1 Wharton, Criminal Law (1957), § 321, it is stated:
"It is no defense that the defendant did not know that the female was under the statutory age of consent. It is immaterial that the defendant in good faith believed that the female was above the prohibited age, that he had exercised reasonable care to ascertain her age; that his belief, though erroneous, was reasonable; or that the defendant had been misled by the appearance or statements of the female.
The defendant acts at his peril that the female may in fact be under the age of consent. The fact that the defendant cannot assert as a defense his bona fide belief in the victim's age does not make unconstitutional the statutes under consideration."
We subscribe to that view.
Our statute, N.J.S. 2 A:138-1, provides in pertinent part:
"Any person * * * who, being of the age of 16 or over, unlawfully and carnally abuses a woman-child of the age of 12 years or over, but under the age of 16 years, with or without her consent, is guilty of a high misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000, or by imprisonment for not more than 15 years, or both."
It is noteworthy that the words "willfully," "intentionally," "knowingly," or words of similar import are absent from the above-quoted provision of our statute.
Except for a recent California decision, People v. Hernandez, 61 Cal. 2 d 529, 39 Cal. Rptr. 361, 393 P. 2 d 673, 8 A.L.R. 3 d 1092 (Sup. Ct. 1964), it has been the universally accepted view of the courts of this country that defendant's knowledge of the age of the woman is not an essential element of the crime of statutory rape and that, therefore, "it was no defense that the accused reasonably believed her to be of the age of consent." 8 A.L.R. 3 d 1100, 1102 (1966). See the numerous citations immediately following that statement and supportive thereof. See, too, State v. Davis, 108 N.H. 158, 229 A. 2 d 842, 844 (N.H. Sup. Ct. 1967); 75 C.J.S. Rape § 35; 44 Am. Jur. § 41, p. 926; 2 Burdick, Law of Crime, § 488 to the same effect.
[105 NJSuper Page 571]
In 2 Schlosser, New Jersey Criminal Laws (1953), § 2091, the author states:
"In a prosecution for carnal abuse it is no defense that the accused did not know that the girl was under the age of consent or that from her appearance he believed her to be older than sixteen years of age."
State v. Koettgen, 89 N.J.L. 678 (E. & A. 1916), indicates that where the Legislature has specified a particular age as the essence of an enactment, it is age in fact, not in reasonable belief or appearance, that is dispositive. Reference in support thereof was made in Koettgen, at p. 683, to Reg. v. Robins, 1 C & K. 456, 47 E.C.L. 456, where it was held that it was no defense that the prisoner did not know that the girl was under sixteen, or that from her appearance he might have thought she was of greater age. The "age of the prosecutrix is the distinguishing ingredient of the crime of carnal abuse * * *." State v. Lefante, 12 N.J. 505, 513 (1953).
Defendant urges upon us that "in to-day's sexually oriented and educated society * * * it is absurd to continue to apply the statutory rape standard as if you were dealing with a ten year old." He adds that the statute fixing the age of "unconstitutionally arbitrary and irrational." We do not agree with the latter contention, preferring to rely upon the long and practically universal acceptance proscribing sexual intercourse with a female over 12 and less than 16 years of age. The crime has been defined by the Legislature in terms which negate any element of criminal intent on the part of the actor. It is for that body, not the courts, to change the law, if it chooses to subscribe to a more liberal pattern of sex behavior with young females.
"Within reasonable limitations, the Legislature has the power and the right to designate the mere doing of an act as a crime, even in the absence of the mens rea which was a necessary prerequisite at common law." Morss v. Forbes, 24 N.J. 341, 358 (1957). Our Legislature has done so with that portion of N.J.S. 2 A:138-1 involved in the instant
[105 NJSuper Page 572]
case. It could amend the statute to require knowledge or a criminal intent, but it has not expressed any such legislative intent, despite the long held view by almost all courts of the meaning of similar statutes as not requiring criminal intent. California has seen fit to modify its law, as indicated by People v. Hernandez, supra, 39 Cal. Rptr. 361, 393 P. 2 d 673. where the element "criminal intent" is deemed essential for conviction. New Jersey has not.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
As all the prices went through the roof during the FIFA World Cup 2014, the Ibis Manaus still represented value for money. Room was clean and most importantly the Wi-Fi worked. The only downside is the location, there is nothing nearby so be prepared to pay for taxis.

I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Ibis Manaus
We turned up for a 3 night stay for the World Cup only to be told at 3am our room had been given away or some pathetic excuse. We were moved to a hotel about 10km away. We were offered a move there the week before we got there but declined it. The whole point we chose this hotel was our friends were staying there as well which messed up our trip quite abit. Clearly we had no choice! Useless never using them again

This one goes back some time... I still have a few oldies, which I will slowly get around to posting here.
A humorous scene of my neighbours when I lived in Vancouver, Canada. Quite typical of a Vancouver house.
The paper is thick, about 300lb weight, from the Gandhi co-op industries in India.
My paintings in that period were done on location, without preliminary sketches nor any working lines on the paper. This is paint applied directly on a blank page. The paint is from traditional colour paint sticks ground on stone with water. After all this time the paint looks as bright and fresh as the day I painted the piece.
The close up picture is of higher resolution to be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
Take a glimpse into this artist, and how step by step I build my paintings at my 'building a painting' and other albums at the following link:
