DANA MILLER, PLAINTIFF,v.WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY, DEFENDANT.
Before the Court are cross motions for summary judgment. Plaintiff Dana Miller contends that she was fired from her job as a Special Police Officer ("SPO") with Defendant Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority ("WMATA") in retaliation for reporting sexual harassment by a male superior. According to WMATA, however, Ms. Miller was terminated for multiple violations of WMATA's rules and regulations that were unrelated to the alleged sexual harassment incident. After reviewing the record, the Court finds that Ms. Miller has no evidence of a causal relationship between the alleged sexual harassment and WMATA's decision to terminate her employment. Accordingly, WMATA's motion will be granted, Ms. Miller's motion will be denied, and judgment will be entered in favor of WMATA.
The material facts are essentially undisputed. On July 21, 2003, WMATA hired Ms. Miller as an SPO. Def.'s Stmt. of Material Facts Not In Dispute ("Def.'s Facts") ¶ 1. An SPO's primary duty is to serve as a security guard at WMATA facilities within WMATA's transit zone.
Id. As a condition of her employment under the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, Ms. Miller was required to serve a one-year probationary period. Id.
WMATA began experiencing problems with Ms. Miller's performance almost immediately. On December 29, 2003, less than six months into Ms. Miller's probationary period, Ms. Miller's supervisor, Deputy Chief Daniel Hall, drafted two memoranda documenting her multiple violations of WMATA's rules and regulations. The first memo detailed Ms. Miller's fourth incident of tardiness within three months and recommended a one-day suspension without pay. Def.'s Ex. 4. The second memo detailed a two-hour absence from Ms. Miller's guard post for which she had no permission or excuse. Def.'s Ex. 5. For that infraction, Deputy Chief Hall recommended a two-day suspension without pay. Id. Ms. Miller eventually served two one-day suspensions without pay for the violations detailed in the December 29 memos. Def.'s Facts ¶¶ 7-8.
On January 16, 2004, Deputy Chief Hall gave Ms. Miller her Mid-Year Performance Evaluation. Id. ¶ 9. In addition to the infractions detailed in the December 29 memos, the Mid-Year Performance Evaluation documented one incident in which Ms. Miller abandoned her post without authorization and another incident in which Ms. Miller failed to report for work due to inclement weather. Def.'s Ex. 6. Ms. Miller admitted that she was guilty of all the infractions detailed in the Mid-Year Performance Evaluation. See id.; see also Def.'s Ex. 16 (Pl.'s Resp. to Def.'s Requests for Admission) ¶¶ 15-19, 21-23. The report on the investigation into these incidents of misconduct stated that Ms. Miller was "unreliable" and concluded that it was in WMATA's best interest to "terminate [her] employment." Def.'s Ex. 6. Nonetheless, Deputy Chief Hall elected to give Ms. Miller one more chance and, instead of firing her, informed her that if her performance did not improve within the next 90 days she would be terminated. Id. The Evaluation stated that Ms. Miller was expected to report on time, be attentive to her duties, "and comply with WMATA's policies and procedures." Id. Deputy Chief Hall made it clear to Ms. Miller that "any type of disciplinary action within the next 90 days . . . would mean her termination." Def.'s Ex. 13 (Transcript of Pl.'s Grievance Hearing, Testimony of Daniel Hall) at 26:16-18.
On January 21, 2004, less than a week after Ms. Miller's Mid-Year Performance Evaluation, Special Police Lt. Franklin Johnson was sent to Ms. Miller's guard post to deliver two mousetraps. Def.'s Ex. 7. When Lt. Johnson arrived, he found the post unmanned and observed a combination radio/television on the counter. It is a direct violation of SPO General Post Instruction No. 10 to have a television of any kind, including a radio/television combo, in a guard post kiosk. See Def.'s Exs. 2 & 3. When Ms. Miller returned, Lt. Johnson (who was Ms. Miller's superior but not her supervisor) reminded her that it was a violation of WMATA rules to have a television at her guard post and instructed her to draft a statement admitting the infraction. Def.'s Ex. 7. Ms. Miller complied and wrote a statement in which she admitted to having a television in violation of WMATA rules. Def.'s Ex. 8. Ms. Miller also informed Lt. Johnson that she was on notice that any infraction would result in the termination of her employment and asked him to let her off with a warning instead of reporting the incident. Def.'s Ex. 7.
At this point, the facts take an unexpected and unfortunate turn. After Ms. Miller informed him of her tenuous employment situation, Lt. Johnson offered not to report the incident if she would agree to have sex with him later that evening. See Def.'s Ex. 9. Ms. Miller agreed but, unknown to Lt. Johnson, she had no intention of following through on his proposal; instead, she planned to bring her mother with her to the tryst in order to take photographs and witness Lt. Johnson's advances. Id. Ms. Miller claims that her mother called Deputy Chief Hall immediately after Ms. Miller informed her of the incident (Ms. Miller's mother is herself an SPO), but he did not answer the phone and she did not leave a message. Affidavit of Dana Miller ¶ 8.
When Ms. Miller arrived at Lt. Johnson's home that night (with her mother hiding in the backseat of her car), Lt. Johnson invited her inside, took off her coat, and began fondling her breast. Id.; Def.'s Ex. 9. Shortly afterwards, Ms. Miller's mother knocked on the door and Lt. Johnson let her in. Def.'s Ex. 9. Ms. Miller's mother stated that Lt. Johnson's conduct violated WMATA's sexual harassment policies and asked him to turn over the statement in which Ms. Miller admitted to having a television in her guard booth. Id. Lt. Johnson refused, and Ms. Miller and her mother left. After they departed Lt. Johnson's residence, Ms. Miller's mother called Deputy Chief Hall to report the incident. Id.
One week later, on January 28, 2004, Ms. Miller filed a sexual harassment charge against Lt. Johnson with WMATA's Office of Civil Rights. Def.'s Ex. 12. The Office of Civil Rights asked Deputy Chief Hall not to take any disciplinary action against Ms. Miller in connection with her possession of the television in her working booth pending the outcome of their investigation into her sexual harassment charge. See Def.'s Ex. 12 (Transcript of Pl.'s Grievance Hearing, Testimony of Daniel Hall at 35:4-12). The investigation concluded that there was probable cause to conclude that Lt. Johnson sexually harassed Ms. Miller, and Lt. Johnson was dismissed as a result. Def.'s Exs. 14 & 15. The investigation also noted that WMATA's sexual harassment policy requires that harassment be reported immediately after the incident occurs and that Ms. Miller (and her mother) violated that policy by failing to file a report until after the encounter at Lt. Johnson's house. Def.'s Ex. 14.
After completing the investigation into Lt. Johnson's transgressions, WMATA turned its attention back to Ms. Miller's recurrent misconduct In a memorandum dated May 4, 2004, Deputy Chief Hall informed Metro Transit Police Chief Polly Hanson of Ms. Miller's most recent breach of WMATA policy - namely, her possession of a television in a guard booth in violation of General Post Instruction 10. Def.'s Ex. 7. Deputy Chief Hall recommended that Ms. Miller's employment be terminated for cause "based upon continued unsatisfactory performance." Id. On June 1, 2004, Chief Hanson sent a termination letter to Ms. Miller explaining that she was being dismissed for violating General Post Instruction 10 after she was expressly warned during her Mid-Year Evaluation that any additional disciplinary action within a 90-day period would result in her termination. Def.'s Ex. 10.
Ms. Miller filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") Office on June 23, 2004. Miller Aff. ¶ 17. The EEOC issued a right-to-sue letter on September 8, 2005. Id. ¶ 18. Ms. Miller filed the Complaint in this action on December 7, 2005, in which she asserts four causes of action: three claims for employment discrimination against WMATA under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq.; and one claim for battery against Lt. Johnson, presumably under the common law of Maryland, which is where the alleged fondling took place.*fn1 After engaging in discovery, both parties filed dispositive motions on November 17, 2006, and opposition briefs on November 28, 2006. Neither party chose to file a reply brief. Accordingly, both motions are now ripe for decision.
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56, summary judgment must be granted when "the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c); Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247 (1986); see also Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986); Diamond v. Atwood, 43 F.3d 1538, 1540 (D.C. Cir. 1995). Moreover, summary judgment is properly granted against a party that "after adequate time for discovery and upon motion . . . fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial." Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322. To determine which facts are "material," a court must look to the substantive law on which each claim rests. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248. A "genuine issue" is one whose resolution could establish an element of a claim or defense and, therefore, affect the outcome of the action. Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322.
In ruling on a motion for summary judgment, the court must draw all justifiable inferences in the nonmoving party's favor and accept the nonmoving party's evidence as true. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 255. A nonmoving party, however, must establish more than "the mere existence of a scintilla of evidence" in support of its position. Id. at 252. To prevail on a motion for summary judgment, the moving party must show that the nonmoving party "fail[ed] to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial." Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322. The nonmoving party may not rely solely on allegations or conclusory statements. Greene v. Dalton, 164 F.3d 671, 675 (D.C. Cir. 1999); Harding v. Gray, 9 F.3d 150, 154 (D.C. Cir. 1993). Rather, the nonmoving party must present specific facts that would enable a reasonable jury to find in its favor. Greene, 164 F.3d at 675. If the evidence "is merely colorable, or is not significantly probative, summary judgment may be granted." Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249-50 (citations omitted).
Ms. Miller alleges that she was the victim of sexual harassment in violation of Title VII based on two theories: quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environment harassment. See Compl. ¶¶ 25-26. She also claims that WMATA violated Title VII by firing her in retaliation for reporting the alleged harassment. See id. ¶ 27. In order to prove harassment on a theory of quid pro quo, Ms. Miller must demonstrate that "a tangible employment action resulted from a refusal to submit to a supervisor's sexual demands." Burlington Indus., Inc. v. Ellerth, 524 U.S. 742, 753 (1998). If there was no "tangible employment action" to establish quid pro quo harassment, Ms. Miller may still prove a Title VII violation by demonstrating that she was subjected to "bothersome attentions or sexual remarks," id. at 751, that were "so severe or pervasive as to alter the conditions of [her] employment and create an abusive working environment," Clark County School District v. Breeden, 532 U.S. 268, 270 (2001) (internal quotation marks omitted). To establish a claim for retaliation in violation of Title VII, Ms. Miller "must show that (1) she engaged in statutorily protected activity; (2) her employer took an adverse personnel action against her; and (3) a causal connection between the two exists." Holbrook v. Reno, 196 F.3d 255, 263 (D.C. Cir. 1999).
With respect to her quid pro quo theory, Ms. Miller argues that if she had submitted to Lt. Johnson's sexual demands, he would have destroyed her confession and she never would have been fired. Pl.'s Mem. of P. & A. In Support of Mot. for Summ. J. ("Pl.'s Mem.") at 10-11. Thus, she argues that she suffered an adverse employment action as a result of her refusal to have sex with a superior. Not only is this argument based on an incomplete, self-serving version of the factual record, it actually proves that there is no causal link between Lt. Johnson's behavior and Ms. Miller's termination because it tacitly concedes that Ms. Miller would have been fired in the absence of Lt. Johnson's alleged harassment. In other words, if Lt. Johnson had acted appropriately, and had reported Ms. Miller's violation of General Post Instruction 10 without offering to refrain from reporting the infraction in exchange for sex, Ms. Miller would have been dismissed for violating WMATA's rules within 90 days of her Mid-Year Evaluation. Thus, there is no causal connection between Ms. Miller's rejection of Lt. Johnson's sexual advances and WMATA's decision to fire her.
This is not a case where a supervisor threatens to fire a subordinate unless she has sex with him, as Ms. Miller suggests. Here, Lt. Johnson had nothing to do with the decision to terminate Ms. Miller - that decision was made by Deputy Chief Hall and Chief Hanson. That fact is that Ms. Miller violated the rules and was fired for it; Lt. Johnson tried to take advantage of that situation in an inappropriate way, but he did not place Ms. Miller in that situation. To find that Lt. Johnson's conduct amounted to quid pro quo sexual harassment would put Ms. Miller in a better position than she would have been in if the harassment had not occurred, which is clearly not what Title VII contemplates. Cf. Dougherty v. Barry, 869 F.2d 605, 615 n.9 (D.C. Cir. 1989) (noting that remedies awarded under Title VII should not leave a plaintiff better off than she would have been absent the discrimination).
Even assuming that the evidence could establish a causal link between Ms. Miller's refusal to have sex with Lt. Johnson and WMATA's decision to fire her, Ms. Miller cannot prevail. Upon a prima facie showing of quid pro quo sexual harassment, the burden shifts to the employer to articulate a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the employment action. See McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 803-04 (1973). If the employer is able to do so, the burden shifts back to the plaintiff to prove that the stated reason is a pretext. See id. at 804-05. Here, there is ample evidence in the record indicating that Ms. Miller was terminated for having a television in her guard booth in violation of WMATA policy after a long, well-documented series of infractions. Ms. Miller points to nothing in record to suggest that this was a pretext.
With respect to Ms. Miller's hostile work environment theory, Ms. Miller argues that WMATA's Office of Civil Rights concluded that Lt. Johnson harassed her and, therefore, she has evidence sufficient to support a finding of harassment. Pl.'s Mem. at 12. A finding by WMATA that one of its employees probably violated its internal sexual harassment policy is not sufficient proof that the employee and/or WMATA violated Title VII. To prevail on a theory of hostile work environment harassment, Title VII requires a showing that the harassment was so "severe or pervasive" that it altered the conditions of employment. Breeden, 532 U.S. at 270. In other words, "a workplace environment becomes 'hostile' for the purposes of Title VII only when offensive conduct 'permeate[s] [the workplace] with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim's employment.'" Barbour v. Browner, 181 F.3d 1342, 1347-48 (D.C. Cir. 1999) (quoting Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Servs., Inc., 523 U.S. 75, 78 (1998)). "Harassment 'must be more than episodic'; to be pervasive, it must be 'sufficiently continuous.'" Williams v. Verizon Wash., DC, Inc., 266 F. Supp. 2d 107, 124 (D.D.C. 2003) (quoting Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775, 776 n.1 (1998)). Thus, generally speaking, hostile work environment claims are based on "the cumulative effect of individual acts" rather than on discrete incidents of harassment. See Nat'l R. R. Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 115 (2002).
Lt. Johnson's conduct, although deplorable, was an isolated, one-time occurrence; it did not permeate Ms. Miller's workplace with continuous insult or torment. Although it is possible that a one-time incident could be so severe that it changes the conditions of employment by creating an abusive working environment, on the facts presented here Ms. Williams cannot - as a matter of law - prove that Lt. Johnson's conduct altered the conditions of her working environment in violation of Title VII. See, e.g., Tatum v. Hyatt Corp., 918 F. Supp. 5, 7 (D.D.C. 1994) ("[A]bsent the most stringent circumstances, courts have refused to hold that one incident in itself was so severe as to create a hostile work environment.").
Finally, Ms. Miller's retaliation claim fails for the same reasons as her harassment claims. Ms. Miller has shown that she engaged in a protected activity, i.e., rejecting Lt. Johnson's advances and filing a formal EEOC complaint; and that she suffered an adverse personnel action, i.e., her termination. As discussed above, however, she has not shown any causal connection between the two. Lt. Johnson did not fire Ms. Miller; rather, Deputy Chief Hall and Chief Hanson made the decision to terminate her employment for reasons unrelated to the sexual harassment incident with Lt. Johnson. Even assuming that the record contained some evidence of a causal link, Ms. Miller has failed to rebut the non-retaliatory reason for her suspension - namely, her admitted violations of WMATA's work rules. Because Ms. Miller has no evidence to establish a necessary element of her retaliation claim - i.e., a causal link between her protected activity and the adverse employment action - WMATA is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
There can be no dispute on the facts before the Court that Ms. Miller was fired from her job as an SPO for multiple violations of WMATA's rules and regulations. Although her last violation was marred by an incident in which a superior offered to overlook the violation in exchange for sex, the fact remains that there is no causal connection between WMATA's decision to terminate her employment and the alleged incident of sexual harassment. And although the incident was deplorable, its not so severe or pervasive that it subjected Ms. Miller to an abusive working environment. Accordingly, she cannot prove her Title VII claims and WMATA is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. A memorializing order accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.

Two Frank Auerbach Works From The Estate Of Lucian Freud For Courtauld Gallery Collection
The Courtauld Gallery has announced the most significant addition to its modern collections in over a decade - two masterpieces by Frank Auerbach; 'Rebuilding the Empire Cinema, Leicester Square', 1962, and 'Summer, Tretire', 1975. The works come from the private collection of Auerbach's close friend, the late Lucian Freud and have been allocated to The Courtauld Gallery by HM Government Acceptance in Lieu Scheme, which is administered by Arts Council England.
It is particularly appropriate that 'Rebuilding the Empire Cinema, Leicester Square' finds a permanent museum home at The Courtauld as this painting was the highlight of the Gallery's 2009-10 exhibition Frank Auerbach: London Building Sites. The exhibition presented significant new research on the work and was the first to present fully Auerbach's building-site paintings, making the case for them to be considered among the most important contributions to post-War painting in Britain.
'Rebuilding the Empire Cinema' was the last of Auerbach's building-site series, which took as its subject London's post-war transformation following the destruction wrought by the Blitz. Its extraordinarily thick paint surface, energised through repeated reworking over many months, creates a thrilling vision of the violent and vertiginous sight of the cinema's interior being rebuilt. The power and confidence of the work mark it out as one of Auerbach's greatest early achievements.
'Summer, Tretire' is one of Auerbach's major charcoal drawings, which are the equal of his paintings in ambition and intensity. It is one of the very few large-scale landscape drawings Auerbach has produced. It depicts a view from a window in Tretire, Herefordshire, made during one of Auerbach's rare forays outside of London. The sheet is a significant addition to the Coutauld's collection of drawings
"Frank Auerbach is one of Britain's greatest living artists. We are privileged to be able to add these two major works to The Courtauld Gallery's collection. They will transform our modern holdings and help us fulfil our ambition to extend and enrich this part of our collection. We are most grateful to the HM Government's Acceptance in Lieu Scheme for this significant allocation. I hope it will underline the vital importance and public benefit of the Scheme in enabling the Nation to secure significant works of art that would otherwise be impossible for museums to acquire" commented Dr. Ernst Vegelin, Head of The Courtauld Gallery.
Both works will be unveiled at The Courtauld Gallery on Thursday 19 March as the highlight of a new display of modern British art, which will also include Freud's early masterpiece, 'Girl with a Rose', 1947-48, a new long-term loan from the British Council.

The main man in charge of the good ship Fiat-Chrysler is Sergio Marchionne. Marchionne is reportedly prepared to hang on to his captain's hat for at least three more years. This word comes from Fiat Group chairman John Elkann, speaking about the automaker's new business plan. The 61-year-old executive has been in charge of Fiat since being elected CEO in 2004. In 2009, he assumed control of Chrysler when Fiat initially acquired its 20 percent stake in the American automaker following its bankruptcy and bailout by the federal government. Early word was that Marchionne would step down as early as 2015.

Life on Earth:
Life (cf. biota) is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have self-sustaining biological processes ("alive," "living"), from those which do not —either because such functions have ceased (death), or else because they lack such functions and are classified as "inanimate."
In biology, the science that studies living organisms, "life" is the condition which distinguishes active organisms from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, functional activity and the continual change preceding death. A diverse array of living organisms (life forms) can be found in the biosphere on Earth, and properties common to these organisms—plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria — are a carbon- and water-based cellular form with complex organization and heritable genetic information. Living organisms undergo metabolism, maintain homeostasis, possess a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt to their environment in successive generations. More complex living organisms can communicate through various means.
In philosophy and religion, the conception and nature of life varies, and offer interpretations in the frameworks of existence and consciousness, and touch on many other related issues, such as, ontology, value, life stance, purpose, conceptions of God, the soul and the afterlife.

We are on solid legal ground in marines case: Italy
"We have juridically solid reasons to proceed in the direction of international arbitration," Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi told reporters as he arrived at an international conference being hosted by an Israeli think-tank in the city of Herzliya.
"The Indian government is amply apprised of all it needs to know about our reasons, as do many of our partners," he was quoted as saying by media reports.
Already-strained relations between Rome and New Delhi notched up on Monday when the Italian government announced that marines Salvatore Latorre and Massimiliano Girone would remain in Italy and not return to India to face murder charges after being allowed to come home to vote in February's general election by the Supreme Court.
The Apex Court had allowed them to go to Italy to cast their vote in the elections there after Italian Ambassador to India Daniele Mancini had given an assurance to send them back.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had yesterday noted that the country is agitated over Italy's action which is "unacceptable" and said the government will pursue diplomatic channels to bring the two marines back.
Taking a tough stand, the prime minister also accused Italy of violating "every rule of diplomatic discourse" and asked it to send back the two marines undergoing trial for killing Indian fishermen, failing which there will be consequences on bilateral ties.

My request is about a thermal coffee pot that I no longer use for coffee but would like to get it cleaned up for taking to the park when the children and doing there sports. The cover is coffee stained and I believe I was successful in getting the smell out but would like to get the stains off. Since it is thermal I am afraid I will ruin the part that keeps the contents either cold or hot whatever it is being used for.
Try vinegar a baking soda and a bottle brush. Also dry rice might work as an abrasive to clean the inside.

Welcome to HollyLisle.net
I'm setting up a plain, non-Wordpress replacement for my free 3-day, 3-Mini-Workshop fiction-writing class.
An automatic Wordpress update broke the previous version.
The workshops, with audio, downloadable transcripts and printable worksheets, will be available shortly. I apologize for this course's absence. I just discovered today that it no longer worked.

Mark Paul Jacobs lives in lovely Dauphin, Pennsylvania. He enjoys fishing the Canadian north, poker, and annoying his wife. He has authored two novels: How Teddy Roosevelt Slew the last Mighty T-Rex, a Historical Science Fiction tale set in 1914, and the hard science fiction novel: The Yaakmen of Tyrie, a powerful and mysterious tale of bravery, loss, perseverance, betrayal, and redemption. He is also quite proud of his awe-inspiring short story: The Day God Winked and his chilling novelette with the provocative title: The Watchers from within Moments Revealed, an almost universally well reviewed work for which he has written a screenplay suitable for an 'Outer Limits' episode. These and several other works are available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Sony, and Smashwords.com. How Teddy Roosevelt Slew the last Mighty T-Rex and The Yaakmen of Tyrie is available in paperback via Createspace.com. Mark is working on a movie screenplay tentatively called Stain which is a gritty murder conspiracy based in Central Pennsylvania similar to the movie 'Fargo' or 'Reservoir Dogs'. Please enjoy his works and don't be afraid to tell him what you think on his Facebook page, twitter account, or by email. And lastly, please take the time to leave him a review of his work; it doesn't have to be long or long-winded, but it does make him feel that his hard word has touched someone's life in some way. You can leave a review wherever his books are available.

Incident at Walter's Creek based on 0 ratings. 85 reviews.
Good spooky short story,,,,,,,,,
Reminds me of a story told around a fire at a campground. Enjoyed this little book.
This story is 33 pages. It was interesting- I had to read it 3 or 4 times to try to better understand it and each time my mind caught some detail I had overlooked before. I still can't figure out what is real or not in the story (the story is of course fiction but I am referring to the details told in the story) and about the time I had decided the whole thing was made up, the ending came along and caused me to do some re-thinking. I still am not sure whether I actually like this story or not; I generally do not read this genre but it was free and all in all was an interesting story.
Creepy and entertaining, I'd recommend this short story to anyone looking for a quick read. The boys and their adventures remind me of many of my own childhood antics. The ending leaves you hanging, though, wondering if it is real or not. I'm not usually a fan of scary horror, but Mark's light touch with the story kept me reading and enjoying this tale.
Mark Jacobs' short story, "Incident at Walter's Creek," reminds me a little bit of Steven King's "The Body." A group of young boys are telling stories to frighten one another as they creep up on the local "haunted house." As is always the case with such stories, there is more to the situation than meets the eye. Jacobs pulls the reader in with dialect, entertaining characters and situations ... and some surprising twists and turns. Nicely done!
Nice short story that draws you in as a reader to get to the end revealing the truth.
It wasnt bad...my only suggestiom wld b to not try so hard on the back hills way of talkin...makes it harder to read...

About The Project:
In November 2013, Bellaire Citizens approved an $11 million bond referendum for the development of a new City Hall, Civic Center, Police Station and Municipal Courts.
In the Summer of 2014, City Council determined they wanted to combine City Hall and Municipal Courts and keep the Police Station and Civic Center as separate buildings. In September of 2014 City Council entered into a contractual agreement with PGAL for design and construction services and voted to form a citizen's Ad Hoc steering committee.
Other development segments to be included in this project will include a revision to the Bellaire Town Center Master Plan, which include a conceptual design of a new library, conceptual designs for a signature corner at South Rice Ave and Jessamine and concept designs for pedestrian friendly South Rice Ave.

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division
August 13, 2013
STATE OF NEW JERSEY, Plaintiff-Respondent,v.CAMPO ARAQUE, a/k/a IVAN MARTINEZ, Defendant-Appellant.
Submitted January 30, 2013
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Bergen County, Municipal Appeal No. 003-05-11.
Cillick & Smith, attorneys for appellant (Edward W. Cillick, of counsel and on the brief).
John L. Molinelli, Bergen County Prosecutor, attorney for respondent (William P. Miller, Senior Assistant Prosecutor, of counsel and on the brief).
Before Judges Simonelli and Accurso.
Following a trial de novo in the Law Division, defendant Campo Araque was convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI), N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.[1] He appeals. As this was, at least, his fourth such conviction, defendant was sentenced to 180 days' jail time, to be served in the Bergen County Jail, and a ten-year suspension of his driver's license. In addition, the judge imposed a $1006 fine, a $100 surcharge, a $50 VCCB assessment, a $75 SNSF penalty, a $100 payment to the DDE Fund, $33 in costs and installation of an interlock device during his suspension and for three years upon reinstatement.
The municipal court judge credited the arresting officer's testimony that he was traveling east on Madison Avenue in Cresskill when he saw defendant, who was traveling west, partially cross the double yellow lines and enter into the eastbound lane and then return to the westbound lane of travel. The officer turned to follow defendant and observed him enter the Knickerbocker Road traffic circle. The officer watched as defendant traveled once around the circle before exiting northbound on Knickerbocker Road. The officer pulled defendant over and requested backup. The time was 2:27 a.m.
Upon speaking to defendant, the officer immediately noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath. Defendant told the officer he had come from Union City and was going to Rochelle Park. The officer noted defendant's watery, bloodshot eyes and watched as he slowly and fumblingly produced his license and multiple insurance cards. Defendant did not produce his registration and the officer asked for it again. Defendant rummaged through his glove box for the document. Although the officer could clearly see the registration among the items in the glove box, defendant told the officer he could not find it.
Back-up arrived as the arresting officer was asking defendant to get out of the car. The second officer also testified to events at the scene and police headquarters. The municipal judge found both officers credible and coherent. The second officer testified that he noticed an odor of alcohol emanating from defendant. The officers testified that they had spoken English to defendant, who responded in English. The arresting officer could speak Spanish, a fact known to the backup officer. Although both officers noticed defendant's accent, neither had any difficulty communicating with him. Defendant's words were slurred, but he answered questions in English and readily followed their instructions.
Both officers testified that defendant used the roof of the car to steady himself as he got out of the vehicle, and leaned on the officers as he crossed the street at their request. Both officers testified to the arresting officer's instructions to defendant as to how to perform the field sobriety tests and his demonstration of those maneuvers. Although defendant attempted to perform the tests, he could not do so. As defendant bungled the one-legged stand, he apologized to the arresting officer, saying in English, "Sorry, Officer, I made a big mistake tonight."
Defendant was arrested and transported to police headquarters. As the officers were conducting an inventory of the contents of defendant's wallet, they discovered a second driver's license and other cards in a different name. The license defendant had produced at roadside was a false one. Defendant's own license had been suspended on a prior conviction for DWI.
A third officer testified to his attempts to administer the Alcotest to defendant. The municipal court judge likewise found this officer forthright and credible. The officer testified that he filled out several forms with defendant over which they conversed in English. The officer testified that defendant answered "no" to whether he was on alcohol or drugs and made no response to the officer's question about medication. The officer stated that defendant repeatedly grabbed his arm to steady himself as the officer escorted defendant to the Alcotest machine. Defendant supplied several inadequate breath samples before the administering officer was forced to abandon the test.
Defendant presented the testimony of a physician, Linda Graves, to testify as to the effects Cardizem and Benicar, two medications defendant's doctor had prescribed to control defendant's hypertension, could have on defendant's ability to perform the field sobriety tests. Dr. Graves opined that the side effects of those drugs could cause dizziness and gait abnormality which could have affected defendant's performance on the field sobriety tests.
Defendant testified on his own behalf through an interpreter. He explained that he was driving home from work after midnight when he got lost. He owned a restaurant in Union City and had made the half hour drive there daily from his home in Rochelle Park for the last five years. Defendant testified that he was born in Colombia, and although having lived in New Jersey for over twenty years, spoke "very little" English. He said that he worked seven days a week from seven in the morning until after midnight. His restaurant had a liquor license and defendant admitted to having had a Coors Light beer at 10:00 p.m.
Defendant acknowledged that he may have crossed into the arresting officer's lane and been confused at the traffic circle because he was very tired and unfamiliar with the names of the roads in Cresskill. He testified that he understood very little of what the officers had said to him and told them various times that he could not comprehend them. Besides being unable to understand the instructions for the field sobriety tests, defendant testified that could not perform them because he was tired and did not feel well after taking his medication earlier in the day.
The municipal court judge found defendant's testimony to the court not credible. The judge rejected defendant's testimony that he spoke little English and did not understand the officers as unworthy of belief. The judge noted that defendant answered at least one question at trial in English before the interpreter had translated the question into Spanish. Further, he found that defendant's experience in running a restaurant for many years made his professed ignorance of English "incredible." The judge also noted that the arresting officer could have easily communicated with defendant in Spanish had defendant actually expressed his inability to understand the officers as he testified. The judge found defendant's explanation of having wandered about Bergen County lost for over two hours completely implausible and noted "that there's another reason for the defendant being that lost."
Although finding Dr. Graves qualified, the municipal court judge rejected her testimony. The judge noted that Dr. Graves never examined defendant, did not know whether he had actually taken his medication as prescribed, and could offer no opinion as to his actual condition on the night of his arrest. By her own testimony her opinion was limited to what effect the medications could have had on defendant that night. She offered no opinion as to what effect those drugs actually had on defendant.
The municipal court judge found on the basis of the credible testimony that defendant had consumed alcoholic beverages on the night of his arrest and exhibited signs of intoxication when he crossed the yellow lines. The judge further found that his failure to perform the field sobriety tests was because he was under the influence of alcohol. He concluded that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant was guilty of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs.
The Law Division Judge, reviewing the record de novo, deferred to the credibility findings of the municipal court judge and found the testimony of the officers more credible than that of defendant. After reviewing the testimony, the judge summarized his findings regarding the cumulative effect of the "many indications that this defendant was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, " even taking into account the expert's testimony of the possible effects of medication.
Let's total them up. The vehicle crossed the double yellow line. There was an odor of an alcoholic beverage. That's two. I'll disregard the watery eyes and bloodshot eyes. Couldn't find license and registration easily, the hands were fumbling and slow. Responded in English and said I'm sorry, Officer, I made a big mistake tonight.
The fact that he mentally could not cognitively calculate nine steps and turn around and come back nine steps but walked fifteen steps on the heel to toe test. I give it no weight to the fact that he did not walk a straight line or that he fell off the straight line or did not touch heel to toe because that may have been a side effect of the medication. And although the expert was given probably less weight than I gave her in this de novo trial, I don't think there's enough to explain the circumstances for this defendant. So, Dr. Graves' testimony does not obviate, at least those five subsequent -- independent cumulative observations of someone under the influence of an alcoholic beverage.
Defendant's only contention on this appeal is that the State failed to prove him guilty of DWI beyond a reasonable doubt. He argues that his testimony that he could not understand the officers' instructions and the expert's testimony that defendant's behavior "could have been the result of the side effects of the medications" created reasonable doubt. That argument does not warrant discussion in a written opinion given this record. R. 2:11-3(e)(2).
On appeal from a municipal court to the Law Division, the review is de novo on the record. R. 3:23-8(a). The Law Division Judge must make independent findings of fact and conclusions of law based upon the evidentiary record of the municipal court and must give due regard to the opportunity of the municipal court judge to assess the witnesses' credibility. State v. Johnson, 42 N.J. 146, 157 (1964). On appeal from a Law Division decision, the issue is whether there is "sufficient credible evidence present in the record" to uphold the findings of the Law Division — not the municipal court. Id. at 162. However, as in the Law Division, we are not in as good of a position as the municipal court judge to determine credibility and should, therefore, refrain from making new credibility findings. State v. Locurto, 157 N.J. 463, 470-71 (1999). "We do not weigh the evidence, assess the credibility of witnesses, or make conclusions about the evidence." State v. Barone, 147 N.J. 599, 615 (1997). We give due regard to the trial court's credibility findings. State v. Cerefice, 335 N.J.Super. 374, 383 (App. Div. 2000). Based upon our review of the record, we are satisfied that the record amply supports the Law Division Judge's findings and conclusion that defendant was guilty of DWI beyond a reasonable doubt.

My wife and I visited the Alabama city store in Gadsden Alabama. We went to the store because we were having battery problems. The service we received was absolutely amazing. I work in customer service and I would choose to work with the two gentlemen any day, Daniel was the person in charge and Matt helped us until we drove away very pleased customers!! These two guys were awesome!! We will definitely be returning to the Alabama city store in Gadsden Alabama for all our auto needs! Thank you.

I have worked in retail management for the majority of my work life, when I moved to Gadsden, Al I noticed something straight away. Most retail places lack good customer service. It was plain to see that management has failed to train their staff, to treat customers in away to assure their patronage and satisfaction. In areas where competition is plenty especially. However recently I've had to shop in your store on W.Meighan Blvd, the three times I've had to go in I was so amazed at the way we were treated. On one occasion I needed a tail light bulb. My husband and I were walking to the building, the young man behind the counter must have seen him as he lifted the bulb in the air and as we walked threw the door. He says, here you go this is the size you need. It was indeed the size we needed. The following day we went in to buy a belt to fit our lawn mower. Once again the staff was so friendly and helpful. I then asked to speak to their manager. I was informed that they didn't have a manager. I was so impressed. Without supervision your employees are certainly keeping a faithful clientele. That area has a lot of competition, but that is now my store no matter.

The Anglo Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch Shell announced on Tuesday that it plans to spend up to $100 billion in the next four years to increase its production capacity.
Updating investors about its plans till 2020, Shell said it has 30 new projects lined up as part of its strategy.
Shell is currently in the first year of its three years business restructuring strategy and the company has already sold assets – particularly of marketing and refining operations and focused more on production. Its weak refining margins in the fourth quarter and poor performance had disappointed the markets in February.
Shell Chief Executive Peter Voser said: "We have made good progress in 2010. Our profitability is improving and we are on track for our growth targets".
Shell has set a daily production target of 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent, a jump of 12 percent over 2010 levels.
Shell expects an overall improvement in the natural gas and oil refining and marketing environment and hopes oil price to hover around $60-$80 a barrel. Based on its market forecasts, it hopes to increase its cash flow by 50-80 percent between 2009 and 2012.
Shell hopes to raise $5 billion from asset sales in 2011. It has already invested $100 billion in the last five years in exploration and production, while it has raised $30 billion in the same period from asset sales.

Really nice bread/cake to use up some extra proofed sourdough starter and for a change of pace from regular bread recipes. I omitted the carrots (didn't have any on hand) and used a bit more apple. This is a dense loaf with good old-fashioned taste. I will consider adding a few more spices (clove, ginger, and nutmeg) the next time I make it to develop a bit more kick. Thanks very much, Dea, for a new twist on my sourdough baking.

My Reverse Speech Audio - Video Research Part 1
This is my attempt at researching reverse speech on my own computer. Many of the reverse speech examples here are very short .Only a few words at most .A few are a little longer.The reason for that is the time involved uploading the videos to youtube.I have a slow internet connection so you can understand why it takes so long to upload.
REVERSE SPEECH - IF YOUR DECENT - YOU MUST SEE NURSE - DELAYED - WINDOWS VIDEO.avi After uploading it to youtube it may sound like see USERS instead of NURSE Of,course the listener may hear what he or she wants to hear. - THE WORDS JEWISH AND PURE ARE HIDDEN WITHIN PARTS OF SPEECH WHEN small segments are REVERSED.It's is Interesting to say the least.

democracy and representative government central inspirations for European feminists in the 19th and early 20th centuries? Were there other issues that inspired the feminists?
Burning in the heart of each person is the desire to be free and to be recognized as a valuable part of society while at the same time receiving recognition as an individual. This desire is not trained into us by our society, because regardless of the social organization, or culture, all men and women feel this burning desire equally. The desire to be free, independent and recognized as valuable is a part of what separated men and women from animals. We are important, and our contribution to the social order is an important process by which we make carve out our own identify, and self-worth.
However, this desire for identity and recognition should not be confused with, nor forcibly molded into a desire for sameness between peoples, cultures, or genders. Those values held as important by the Chinese culture do not translate directly into the west, or vice versa. For example, in America, we hold freedom and individual expression to be of the highest value. In France, the desire is for unity under a common leadership, while the far east reinforces the power of the state, and of the extended family as an important aspect of human identify. However, regardless of culture, gender, or continent, peoples universally yearn to be free to pursue that which is important to them, and to be able to determine those priorities for themselves.
As a result to the universal yearning, when a group of people who are under oppressive control hear about a system in which all people are allowed the freedom to pursue their own identities, latent and repressed desires tend to surface. Like a hungry beggar who hears of a free banquet, when those who were oppressed under layers of traditions in the European continent, which allowed women to be little more than house wives, heard about the freedom built into the American culture, the desires to cast off the outward cultural rules and pursue their own definition of female identity surfaces, and slowly began to exert influence on the cultural marketplace.
Simone de Beauvior wrote: "Woman has always been man's dependant, of not his slave; the two sexes have never shared the world in equality. And even today woman is heavily handicapped, though her situation is beginning to change... Even when her rights are legally recognized in the abstract, long-standing custom prevents their full expression in the mores" (Sources of the Western Tradition, 2003) In the same way as the American constitution was a response to, and a reaction against the oppression created by melding church and state authority in the European continent, the rise of feminism, and the desire of feminists to through off the construct of a male dominated society was also brought influenced by the idealistic American constitution, and the centuries of male dominated society in the European cultures. If all men were created equal, then all mankind, both male and female, should be able to exercise those rights. If all men were created with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit, then the citizens f the nation, regardless of their gender, should be able to determine those priorities for themselves, and pursue them with the full support of the law.
Unfortunately, the when social customs, long determined and dominated by men, became basis for legal precedent, women had been placed in social positions which did not honor their place in history, nor allow them to pursue their desired, dreams for freedoms. As a result, the American commitment to freedom, and success of the same became the motivation for feminists to pursuer breaking the social traditions.
Make the case either for or against appeasement of Hitler by the French and British in the second half of the 1930s.
Peace in our time... peace at what cost? Whenever decisions are made the influences which lie behind the motivations for the decisions must be examined. In the same way, the short-term and long-term repercussions of those decisions must be weighed against one another in order to identify if the motives are genuine and the results of the decisions will carry the parties involved in the direction which they mutually agree are desirable. In the early 1930's Germany was a devastated nation. Economically, and socially, Germany had been humiliated in the defeat of WWI. In addition, the entire European continent was reeling from the results of the first world War. Only Americans were able to return home to their homes, fields, farms, and careers. The countryside in Europe had been devastated, and a people, the proud German people, had been humiliated.
As a result, when the issue of appeasing Hitler came into the political forefront, the different parties involved in the discussion came to the bargaining table with much different motives. Germany had a score to settle. The humiliation of the nation has devastated the ability of the county to have a sense of national pride. Hitler's actions, if focused on the German homeland, which were his initial goals, would be a positive force for the nation to use to rebuild its national infrastructure, and pride.
France and England, however, considered a much different perspective. The War had been costly for these nations. Even though identified as the 'winner' in the conflict, the nations hardly could be considered winners when they had lost so much in human capitol, and the countryside lay in ruins. As a result, these nations also had a collective emotional motivation to appease Hitler. They wanted to avoid a second conflict, for which they were neither financially, nor politically prepared. As a result, if the German paperhanger wanted to become a big fish in a little pond, even though he was in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, England and France decided they would 'overlook' the problem as long as it stayed within the boundaries of the 'fatherland." They could look at the situation as an attempt to rebuild good will with a nation that had been completely destroyed, and heavily penalized by the world community as a result of WWI.
Chamberlain echoed these hopes that appeasement would be the course for building a solid foundation for future success in his letter "In Defense of Appeasement" he said:.".. I believe after my talks with Herr Hitler that, if only time were allowed, it ought to be possible for the arrangements for transferring the territory that the Czech Government has agreed to give to Germany to be settles by agreement under condition which would assure fair treatment to the population concerned..." (Sources of the Western Tradition, 2003) Chamberlain continued, and expressed his desire that the entire British empire not be troubled with the issues of such a small region. His response to those who has correctly identified Hitler as a man of expansionist desires by saying that he would oppose such an effort. But his attitude was to wait, and try to work out a peaceful solution before committing a nation to war. "Armed conflict between nations is a nightmare to me; but if I were convinced that any nation had made up its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force, I should feel that it must be resisted."
For the sakes of 6 million Jews, gypsies, handicapped and aged and otherwise disables peoples, how the world wishes that Chamberlain and those who agreed to appease evil would have shed their fatigue of war, and correctly identified Hitler's expansionist ideals before conceding land, and turning the a blind eye to his military mindset. While men of equal desires and character can debate and agree, men cannot appease evil, and Hitler was the embodiment of evil in his generation.
The causes and influences behind WWI
Manufacture and stockpile of armaments
One of the reasons for the start of WWI was simply the availability of the weapons needed to wage the conflict. While this material fact has little to do with the socio-political factors behind the conflict, the industrial revolution has enables the continent to manufacture huge amounts of military supplies in a relatively short period of time. This elevated production of armaments impacted on the course of the war in this way: it was hard to trust the country next door, with whom already exists ethnic tension, when their arsenal was increasing every day.
In 1905 Britain began construction of an expanded naval fleet, beginning with a battleship named Dreadnought. In response to this perceived threat the Germany began constructions of their own fleet. Between the years of 1900 and 1911 the Germans and British competed to see who had the biggest naval fleet. The race led Germany and Britain to mutually blockade the other. Eventually Germans used the U-boat in order to gain an edge over the British fleet. Their naval race intensified the tension and animosity on both sides.
During this time, most of the European…[continue]

Democracy / Liberty Is direct democracy desirable and/or possible today? Is direct democracy desirable and/or possible today? The question is addressed first theoretically, with reference to Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws, which actually categorizes direct democracy as one of the corruptions into which a democratic system can descend, by an insistence on too much egalitarianism. Direct democracy is considered as an ideal, which is desirable insofar as it offers a critique of
Public Administration in Brazil PUBLIC ADMINSTRATION IN BRAZIL The grassroots and rural development happen to be the main concern and responsibility of any responsive government in a political system. This because the power of political participation is significant in any developmental process of a country which has persistently eluded many people at the grassroots level. Brazil as a developing country needs to take into consideration the significant of efficient administrative responsibilities in
As far as the philosophy of Montesquieu, it is crucial to note that the principle of the checks and balances of the governmental branches was also included in the Constitution. The Framers also adopted Rousseau's idea that the power of the social contract is directly derived from the people. This is best illustrated by the introduction of the Constitution: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form

In this encouragement, American would help to touch off something perhaps all the more miraculous given the proximity to its oppression to the European peasantry at large. First in the doctrines which would be formulated in the wake of French independence and secondly in the way that Napoleon Bonaparte would begin the spread of such doctrines to a continent driven by inequality, America's revolution could be said to have been the opening round in the deconstruction
New York: Penguin, 2007. Author of different academic studies and having an important scholar background, Nelson tries to point out the personality of the creator of "Common sense." Thus, he not only places him in the position of the politician, but also in that of the men. Nelson's perspective comes to complete Kaye's because both of them take into account, more or less, the human side of Thomas Paine, aside
Also unlike the president, it is entitled to be part of the political party. This is an important aspect because its adherence to the party ensures its support for the political figure and for the measures to be taken throughout the mandate. This enables the administration to avoid potential situations when political support lacks. Political accountability rests in the power of the Parliament to hold accountable the Government. In this

JetsNation Recap - Jets Laine-Dance Their Way To An OT Win
Art Middleton
December 03 2016 09:31PM
You could have forgiven Jets fans for feeling a bit of trepidation going into tonight. On the road where the Jets have had their struggles, starting the back-up goalie against a red hot St. Louis Blues club and late in the afternoon finding out the team's leading point-getter in Mark Scheifele was going to miss the game... It kind of had the makings for a no-good awful night.
But the Jets as it would turn out played a very solid road effort with all four lines chipping in and pulled out a 3-2 win in overtime against the Blues.

By The Numbers: Catching up with Logan Stanley

The Winnipeg Jets traded up to draft Logan Stanley at 18th overall in what was a fairly controversial pick for the Jets divided fanbase. Stanley since returned to the Ontario Hockey League. He has seen some development to his game, but is it enough?
The Jets Should Trade For Martin Marincin
December 02 2016 09:00AM
The Jets are in a bit of a quandry. They are half committing to a youth movement that is not letting them optimize their lineup. Currently, they are deploying players like Mark Stuart and Chris Thorburn to fill 4th line and bottom pairing roles on defence and offence.
Now, the Jets are playing Stuart out of necessity because of injuries, but what would it look like to trade for a cheap and better option to fill out the bottom defence pairing?
