State of New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division Third Judicial Department
November 4, 2010
DG&A MANAGEMENT SERVICES, LLC, APPELLANT,v.SECURITIES INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION COMPLIANCE AND LEGAL DIVISION, RESPONDENT, ET AL., DEFENDANT.
Calendar Date: September 17, 2010
Before: Cardona, P.J., Peters, Rose, Malone Jr. and Stein, JJ.
Appeal from that part of an amended order of the Supreme Court (McNamara, J.), entered April 13, 2010 in Albany County, which granted a motion by defendant Securities Industry Association Compliance and Legal Division to compel certain discovery from plaintiff.
Beginning in 1989, and during a number of years thereafter, plaintiff entered into a series of contracts with defendant Securities Industry Association Compliance and Legal Division (hereinafter defendant) pursuant to the terms of which plaintiff agreed to provide management and associated services to administer defendant's various programs and seminars. Following the expiration of the final contract on December 31, 2004, and while negotiations of a new contract were ongoing, plaintiff continued to provide services to and receive compensation from defendant. In October 2005, plaintiff and defendant entered into a single-purpose agreement covering defendant's March 2006 annual seminar. Shortly thereafter, however, defendant notified plaintiff that it no longer would need plaintiff's services; it had retained defendant Intermedia Production Group, Ltd. to, among other things, coordinate the 2006 seminar.
Plaintiff thereafter commenced this action against defendant, among others, alleging numerous causes of action sounding in contract and quasi-contract and seeking to recover for services actually rendered (or which were to be rendered) between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2006. Supreme Court dismissed certain of the causes of action and, upon appeal, we affirmed (52 AD3d 922 [2008]), leaving plaintiff with, insofar as is relevant here, two remaining claims against defendant -- one for quantum meruit and the other for unjust enrichment.
Discovery ensued and defendant ultimately served plaintiff with a second demand for documents seeking disclosure of various financial documents and information -- specifically, financial statements, balance sheets, audit reports and tax returns of plaintiff and its managing partners encompassing calendar years 2004 through 2007. When plaintiff failed to comply with the demand, defendant moved to compel disclosure pursuant to CPLR 3124. Plaintiff opposed the application and cross-moved to compel production of certain documents that it had previously demanded. Supreme Court, agreeing that financial documents demonstrating the actual costs incurred by plaintiff in providing services to defendant were relevant in ascertaining the reasonable value of the services plaintiff rendered, granted defendant's motion to compel and ordered plaintiff to disclose the financial information requested with the exception of the tax returns of two of plaintiff's managing partners.*fn1 Plaintiff now appeals from so much of Supreme Court's amended order as granted defendant's motion.*fn2
We affirm. It is well settled that a trial court is vested with broad discretion in overseeing the discovery and disclosure process, and "[o]nly a clear abuse of that discretion will justify our intervention" (McMahon v Aviette Agency, 301 AD2d 820, 821 [2003]; see Lue v Finkelstein & Partners, LLP, 67 AD3d 1187, 1188 [2009]; Matter of Scaccia, 66 AD3d 1247, 1249 [2009]). Where, as a here, a party fails to timely object to the discovery demand (see CPLR 3122 [a]), our review "is limited to determining whether the requested material is privileged under CPLR 3101 or the demand is palpably improper" (Saratoga Harness Racing v Roemer, 274 AD2d 887, 888 [2000]; see Jefferson v State of New York, 60 AD3d 1215, 1215 [2009]; Coville v Ryder Truck Rental, Inc., 30 AD3d 744, 745 [2006]; McMahon v Aviette Agency, 301 AD2d at 821), i.e., "irrelevant, overbroad and burdensome" (Jefferson v State of New York, 60 AD3d at 1215 [internal quotation marks and citations omitted]).
Here, no assertion of privilege has been made and, based upon our review of the record as a whole, we cannot say that defendant's demand was palpably improper. As noted previously, the remaining causes of action at issue sound in quantum meruit and unjust enrichment and, in both instances, the proper measure of plaintiff's damages is the reasonable value of the services performed for defendant (see Snyder v Bronfman, 13 NY3d 504, 508 [2009]; Frank v Feiss, 266 AD2d 825, 826 [1999]; Collins Tuttle & Co. v Leucadia, Inc., 153 AD2d 526, 527 [1989]). According to plaintiff, computation of that sum is most appropriately made by reference to the American Society of Association Executives Operating Ratio Report (12th ed), which utilizes financial ratios to permit an organization such as plaintiff to assess its performance vis-a-vis other organizations of similar size, scope and type by analyzing a lengthy list of revenue and expense components, including, among other things, costs incurred for salaries, benefits, taxes, occupancy, telephone, office equipment and supplies, postage and travel. Utilizing these industry ratios, plaintiff estimated the reasonable value of the services provided during the relevant time period to be in excess of $1.6 million.*fn3
As Supreme Court aptly observed, however, the fact that plaintiff has elected to employ this particular methodology "does not foreclose other avenues of proof." Moreover, even though plaintiff admittedly is not seeking to recover the actual cost of providing services to defendant, we agree that it has placed its actual costs in issue by utilizing the ratio methodology. Further, inasmuch as plaintiff has averred that it "did not maintain income and expense statements, a general ledger, balance sheet, audit reports, statements of cash flow, or similar financial statements," we cannot say that Supreme Court abused its discretion in granting defendant access to, among other things, plaintiff's bank and credit card records.
We reach a similar conclusion with regard to Supreme Court's directive that plaintiff disclose its tax returns. To be sure, "tax returns are generally not discoverable in the absence of a strong showing that the information is indispensable to the claim and cannot be obtained from other sources" (Saratoga Harness Racing v Roemer, 274 AD2d at 889; see Pugliese v Mondello, 57 AD3d 637, 640 [2008]; Latture v Smith, 304 AD2d 534, 536 [2003]). In light of plaintiff's failure to maintain any relevant financial statements, we are satisfied that defendant made the requisite showing here and, hence, Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in ordering disclosure of the sought-after tax returns. Plaintiff's remaining arguments, to the extent not specifically addressed, have been examined and found to be lacking in merit.
Cardona, P.J., Peters, Rose and Stein, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the amended order is affirmed, with costs.

Hagan is shot, but he manages to fight off the attacker. Though severely wounded, the gunman reveals he is a Russian whose brother was killed when his submarine was destroyed by Commander Hagan's ship. Hagan demands to know how the would-be assassin knew his exact location, but the man dies before he says more.
Dirk Pitt, the director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, is on the Black Sea, helping to locate a lost Ottoman shipwreck, when he responds to an urgent Mayday - "under attack!" - from a nearby freighter. But when he and his colleague, Al Giordino, arrive, there is nobody there. Just dead bodies, a smell of sulfur in the air, and, as Pitt and Giordino explore, a blast from the stern that scuttles the ship swiftly, almost taking them with it.
"Great story with plot twists"
In the quiet of twilight, on an early autumn day, 26-year-old Elisa Vandersteel is killed while riding her bicycle along the Charles River. It appears she was struck by lightning - except the weather is perfectly clear, with not a cloud in sight.

But instead of a joyous homecoming, she is greeted on the docks with unfortunate news: Her father has fallen ill, and a hospital visit will have to wait while he rests.

In The Innocent Killer, Michael Griesbach tells the story of one of the nation's most notorious wrongful convictions, that of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who spent 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. But two years after he was exonerated of that crime and poised to reap millions in his wrongful conviction lawsuit, Steven Avery was arrested for the exceptionally brutal murder of Teresa Halbach, a freelance photographer who had gone missing several days earlier.
"great book"
Why we think it's a great listen: It's a story that most people know, told here in an unforgettable way – an audio masterpiece that rivals the best thrillers, thanks to Capote genre-defining words and Brick's subtle but powerful characterizations. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues.
"Still the Best"
Robert Peernock appeared to have the ideal life; working as a pyrotechnics engineer and computer expert and coming home to his wife and daughter, he projected the American dream. Even when he and his wife separated, it seemed amicable, just a small bump for the well-to-do family. But there was madness in his house: in private, Peernock was violent, subtly manipulative, and bordering on psychotic.
At the core of this book is an appalling double murder committed by two Mormon fundamentalist brothers, Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a revelation from God commanding them to kill their blameless victims. Weaving the story of the Lafferty brothers and their fanatical brethren with a clear-eyed look at Mormonism's violent past, Krakauer examines the underbelly of the most successful homegrown faith in the United States, and finds a distinctly American brand of religious extremism.
"Makes you think"
After his December 2003 arrest, registered nurse Charlie Cullen was quickly dubbed "The Angel of Death" by the media. But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster. He was a favorite son, husband, beloved father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver. Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history.
"More Chilling than Murder?"

Eighty thousand words, 100 serial killers, 100 short stories - but thousands of victims. I've selected at random 100 from A to Z.

How long would it take before he finally got what he deserved?
"Ann Rule at her best! Narration very suitable!"
"This book will give you nightmares," cautions The New York Times. Richard Preston takes us inside the ongoing war against bioterrorism, investigating the anthrax attacks of October 2001 and the potential for a future bio-attack using smallpox or, worse yet, a new superpox virus resistant to all vaccines. "As exciting as the best thrillers, yet scarier by far, for Preston's pages deal with clear, present and very real dangers," says Publishers Weekly.
"Pretty interesting listening in a horrific way"
Frank W. Abagnale was one of the most daring conmen, forgers, imposters, and escape artists in history. In his brief but notorious criminal career, Abagnale donned a pilot's uniform and copiloted a Pan Am jet, masqueraded as the supervising resident of a hospital, practiced law without a license, passed himself off as a college sociology professor, and cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks, all before he was 21. His story is now a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
"Really entertaining!"
After Jack the Ripper and before Son of Sam there was only one name their equal in terror: the deadly, elusive, and mysterious Zodiac. Beginning in 1968 the hooded mass murderer terrified the city of San Francisco and the Bay Area with a string of brutal killings. A sexual sadist, his pleasure was torture and murder.
In the most extraordinary journey Ann Rule has ever undertaken, America's master of true crime has spent more than two decades researching the story of the Green River Killer, who murdered more than 49 young women. Green River, Running Red is a harrowing account of a modern monster, a killer who walked among us undetected. It is also the story of his quarry -- of who these young women were and who they might have become.
"Suspenseful and chilling"
One late spring evening in 2010, Shannan Gilbert, after running through the oceanfront community of Oak Beach screaming for her life, went missing. No one who had heard of her disappearance thought much about what had happened to the 24-year-old: She was a Craigslist prostitute who had been fleeing a scene. The Suffolk County Police, too, seemed to have paid little attention - until seven months later, when an unexpected discovery in a bramble alongside a nearby highway turned up four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap. But none of them Shannan's.
"No answers"
Killing Pablo is the inside story of the brutal rise and violent fall of Colombian cocaine cartel kingpin Pablo Escobar. Also from Bowden: the best selling Black Hawk Down.

Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumbled upon neatly severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. Clues to a horrifying crime were turning up all over New York, but the police were baffled: There were no witnesses, no motives, no suspects. The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26, 1897, plunged detectives headlong into the era's most perplexing murder.
"Great look at NYC crime, forensics, and journalism"
The true story of Barbara Stager, a devoted mother, loving wife, and dedicated church leader who committed an almost perfect crime. By all accounts, Stager seemed to lead the perfect life in her community in Durham, North Carolina. After her husband, popular high school coach Russ, died tragically, the police were inclined to believe her story - that she accidentally shot him. Suspicions rose when the police discovered that Stager's previous husband had died similarly 10 years prior.
"Great story & great reader"
From New York Times best-selling author Pete Earley: the strange but true story of a man who suffers a traumatic brain injury and as a result is given the ability to converse with the world's most terrifying criminals.
"Fascinating true story"
A nightmare from a thousand B-movies: A horrible crime is committed in your neighborhood, and the police knock on your door. A witness swears you are the perpetrator; you have no alibi, and no one believes your declarations of innocence. You are convicted, sentenced to hard time in a maximum-security prison, or even death row. Actual Innocence examines this real-life nightmare.
"Hard To Believe"
Rene "Boxer" Enriquez grew up on the violent streets of East L.A., where gang fights, robberies, and drive-by shootings were fueled by rage, drugs, and alcohol. When he finally landed in prison - at the age of 19 - Enriquez found an organization that brought him the respect he always wanted: the near-mythic and widely feared Mexican Mafia, La Eme. What the organization saw in Enriquez was a young man who knew no fear and would kill anyone - justifiably or not - in the blink of an eye.
"Intense, brutal, and informative"

But at the macabre- looking castle, Georgie finds the bride with blood running down her chin, and a wedding guest is poisoned.
"A little predictable"
As 35th in line for the throne, Lady Georgiana Rannoch may not be the most sophisticated young woman, but she knows her table manners. It's forks on the left, knives on the right - not in His Majesty's back….
"Enjoyable light murder mystery"
Lady Georgiana Rannoch has once again been called into service by Her Majesty the Queen. This time she's sent to Nice on a secret assignment that's nothing to sneeze at: recover the Queen's stolen snuff box. As much of an honor as it is to be trusted by Her Majesty, an even greater honor awaits Georgie in Nice - as Coco Chanel herself asks Georgie to model her latest fashion. But when a necklace belonging to the Queen is stolen on the catwalk, Georgie has to find two priceless items-and solve a murder. How's a girl to find any time to go to the casino?
"Lots of good fun"

I am therefore relieved to receive a new assignment from the queen - especially one that includes lodging. The king's youngest son, George, is to wed Princess Marina of Greece, and I shall be her companion at the supposedly haunted Kensington Palace. My duties are simple: help Marina acclimate to English life, show her the best of London, and, above all, dispel any rumors about George's libertine history.

With his ruthless employers on one side, his former friends on the other, and a doomed mission ahead, Court Gentry would kill to get out of this one alive.
"really impressive"
Ex-CIA master assassin Court Gentry has always prided himself on his ability to disappear at will, to fly below the radar and exist in the shadows - to survive as the near-mythical Gray Man. But when he takes revenge upon a former employer who betrayed him, he exposes himself to something he's never had to face before. A killer who is just like him. Code-named Dead Eye, Russell Whitlock is a graduate of the same ultra-secret Autonomous Asset Program that trained and once controlled Gentry.

Scoop the poop, bag it, & put it in the trash... Or not/
Okay. Is it just me, or is our world filled with seemingly more inconsiderate dog owners either unable to afford poop bags (solution: sell your dog), or unwilling to use poop bags (solution: sell your dog)? Kirkland is a town of dog lovers. In our family, Molly the dog holds equal stature with yours truly. Don't ask which one of us spends more time in the dog house.
It seems like hardly a month goes by without someone sending in a letter regarding loser dog owners who don't / won't clean up after their own messes. I am tired of it, frankly. Dog poop in public spaces is pollution and conveys a disregard for common courtesy and disrespect for our community.
The occasional, "I forgot a poop bag" excuse aside, this town has too many instances of scofflaws trading in the poop and scoop practice for the ol' poop and scoot routine. It is high time for those of us who desire standards in our community, to actively shame those who do not.
Personally, I have found Poop-N-Scooters to be a suspicious looking lot. They tend to be busily reading or talking on the phone while ignoring their dog's dedicating. They look guilty. That is because they are guilty. They are not good citizens. They are not good neighbors. They trample on the rights of others without regard.
I like using shame as a tool for encouraging socially acceptable behavior. It has gone out of favor like the stockade. I guess I'm old school as they don't sound like bad tools to me.
Well, I think it best I end this rant now before I write something outrageous that might offend Those Who Are Easily Offended (another group begging for attention). Otherwise, I might end up in the dog house. Again. ;-)

The first day of the trial of former LRA commander Dominic Ongwen did not exactly go as planned for ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda. Whereas usually the opening of a case gives a podium to the prosecutor who can make sweeping statements about the responsibility of the accused for the atrocities they are charged with, in this case the Ongwen trial started with the defendant and his defence strategy squarely in the spotlight.
There's wild jubilation in Banjul the Gambia's capital, after a tense 36 hours of vote-counting combined with a complete internet and messaging black-out for "security reasons", with the news that the head of the country's independent election commission Momor Njie has declared the 22-year rule of president Yahya Jammeh over.
Jammeh was attempting to head for a fifth term in power, and had been reported as saying he was "proud to be a dictator" and that Allah would keep him in power for a billion years.
To prepare for the upcoming Assembly of States Parties to the International Criminal Court we have teamed up with several ICC observers to create a series of podcasts about the issues that will be on the agenda, both officially and unofficially during the yearly gathering of the court's member states. Find our talk with Alix Vuillemin of the Coalition for the International Criminal Court here. On the issue of African withdrawals from the court we spoke to Dov Jacobs, assistant professor, ICC defence counsel and blogger. That podcast is here.
On the first day of the ASP we met with Liz Evenson of Human Rights Watch to go over how the court and the prosecutors select cases to investigate and take to trial and the possible impact of Russia's announcement that is was withdrawing its signature from the Rome Statute. Click here to hear what she had to say.
When state representatives and a huge host of justice NGO's gather on Wednesday in The Hague – along with International Criminal Court staff themselves – for a week of debate about the court and setting its direction for the next year, there'll be one major topic: the withdrawal from the court by three African countries. Burundi, South Africa and the Gambia have all announced their decisions within that last month. But the meeting itself will be about far more than that and will throw up several interesting stories for ICC-watchers.
On September 27, the International Criminal Court (ICC) delivered its judgment in the case of Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi. The Islamist was sentenced to nine years for the single war crime of attacking protected objects. The case was hailed as a great success. It was short trial, the court's first guilty plea followed by a swift verdict [IJTblog]. But by accepting the prosecutor's arguments that Al Mahdi was only guilty of a single war crime, was the population of Mali let down badly?
--- In this special guest blog for IJT by Sebastian Green Martinez, lecturer at the University of Buenos Aires, who has followed the Al Mahdi case closely, argues the court should have tried the Malian for persecution over the destruction of mosques and mausoleums in Timbuktu---

Ratings and Reviews
A great pair of pants. Love the covert pockets and the elastic waist with belt loops. Very comfortable. I ordered the Tundra color which I thought were a brown color but to me seems more like a dark green. I will get more of these.
Great pear of pants,
Looks nice feels nice, practical, great quality.
It should be available in other collors like black navy etc.
It seems silly to me to have a covert pair of pants in colors that scream "fuzz"
Make the available colors "covert" too.
maybe could use at least 1 ZIPPER back pocket
I bought 8 pair and plan on more soon. I don't like the feel of the spandex type rip stop non cotton pants. I like the Kodiak except that the inner pocket doesn't zip. it is heavy 11 oz cotton canvas and very durable please bring it back with a zipping inner pocket. I went to the covert for the max size pockets and zipper inner pocket. they are lighter and better for summer. best thing is my M&P shield with crimson trace 9mm fits nicely in the inner pocket and ready for action but canceled. with the Kodiak the pocket doesn't zip giving opportunity for someone to see the clop end due to sorter pocket and no zipper. love the feel and durability of the cotton canvas.
These are not stretchy like other pants, and the fact that pockets "stack" in the same place, means you don't really get more room out of 4 main pockets than you would have out of 2. These are my least favorite 5.11 pants.
great pants, however the side pocket zipper is the weak point. I have bought 20 pair of this pant in the last 8 years. 7 pair have had issues with one or both side pocket zipper. I had to sew the pocket closed to continue wearing the pants.
I now own three pairs of these pants. Originally I purchased a pair, because I thought it a good way to secure travel documents among other valuables. They worked out so well keeping me organized and my possessions secure that I bought two more pair for everyday use.
I do wish 5.11 would offer this style in black and dark blue. I bought version 2.0 in black for the dressier look and was very disappointed in the number, size, and internal design of the pockets.
The pockets in version 1.0 are not exactly "hidden," but they are much less obvious than standard cargo pant pockets. The internal/secondary pockets are great for storing and securing many items. Due to the unique design, they would probably be missed if I were confronted by someone seeking to quickly extract my valuables from me. The material is good and they fit well. I rarely give any product top marks, but these pants fit my requirements perfectly.
thicker belt loops would be nice.
black and charcoal gray versions would be fantastic.
I love these pants, agree w/ another that they're great for business casual. The CCW/ Mag pockets are perfect. For this that don't know: there's 2 purposes to the vertical cargo pocket. 1) more low profile; 2) you can put rifle mags in them and when you unzip to access the mags won't just fall out..and the zipper is quieter than velcro. Show me another pr of pants where I can have 2-4 pistol mags and 4 rifle mags discreetly at the ready as well as a concealed pistol.
They are relatively cool in warm weather which is a big bonus.
Lots of useful pockets in a nice configuration that doesn't scream "I'M WEARING CARGO PANTS!" merely as a fashion statement. As an engineer, I am interested in having my tools readily available at all times, but don't need/want the Rambo image. The cut is sufficiently roomy, without allowing items to flail around when moving vigorously or in tight spaces.
I would like a more durable material that doesn't show wear so rapidly, and isn't so prone to major rips if it gets snagged on something. Also would like a wider range of colors, specifically a darker hue (dark blue or black?) that would blend better in somewhat more formal settings, and not show minor smudges so prominently.

2014 Volkswagen Touareg Diesel TDI Lux 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)
Like no other vehicle. There is no other vehicle period that can tow, handle, 4wd traction, and accelerate like this vehicle...and still get 30 mpg cruising at 70 mph down the highway. Fast. Quiet. Reliable. Incredible torque and towing ability. Very attractive...in and out. Crazy solid. Overbuilt. A Porsche Cayenne in plain clothes. As long as VW makes them...I will own one.
2014 Volkswagen Touareg Diesel TDI Executive 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)
This is the greatest Vehicle I've ever driven, I absolutely love it!!! If you notice this car, see the price tag and move on because its a VW; you're doing yourself an injustice. It handles and performs like a sports car, it rides and feels like a luxury suv, it tows like a full size truck, it performs admirably off road, and It has stunning looks without being pretentious. I've been a Toyota/Lexus person for a long time and for whatever reason, I thought negatively of VW. After searching and searching for an SUV that has good gas milage, could tow , fits my outdoor lifestyle, and is a comfy fun everyday driving car; my search kept leading me to the Touareg. I tested it over and over again, compared it to every comparable vehicle in the market and I couldn't find a reason not buy this car. I get 575 miles on a tank of gas, it tows my airstream with ease, takes my buddies and I to Colorado for mountain bike trips in luxury, and It puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. Its an absolutely joy to drive.

ONOFRIO CONTORNO, PLAINTIFF,v.FLOTA MERCANTE GRANCOLOMBIANA, S.A., DEFENDANT AND THIRD-PARTY PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, V. AMERICAN STEVEDORES, INC., THIRD-PARTY DEFENDANT-APPELLEE.
Per Curiam.
Flota Mercante Grancolombiana, owner of the steamship M. V. Ciudad De Manizales, appeals from a jury verdict against it and in favor of American Stevedores, Inc., in an action for indemnification for money paid a longshoreman employed by Stevedores and allegedly injured as a result of the negligence of Stevedores' employees. The accident occurred on October 19, 1953, while the longshoreman, Onofrio Contorno, was walking along the deck of the Ciudad De Manizales. Contorno slipped and fell, allegedly because of oil upon the deck. He brought suit against the shipowner, claiming that the vessel was unseaworthy and its crew negligent. Grancolombiana impleaded Stevedores, asserting a right to indemnification under the stevedoring contract for any losses suffered by it on the ground that any fault contributing to the accident was that of the stevedores' employees in not removing the oil or warning Contorno of the danger. Thereafter, Contorno settled his claim against Grancolombiana for $18,750, and only the dispute between the shipowner and the stevedore was tried. At the trial there was conflicting evidence whether there had been oil on the deck, whether the shipowner had acted reasonably in settling with Contrrno, and whether the amount of the settlement and the legal fees which Grancolombiana sought to recover were reasonable. No motion for a directed verdict was made by Grancolombiana, and these issues were submitted to the jury, which brought in a verdict for Stevedores.
On appeal Grancolombiana raises two points: (1) that the verdict was manifestly against the weight of the evidence and (2) that the trial court abused its discretion in denying a motion to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial. As to the first point, we have held on numerous occasions that when a party fails to move for a directed verdict, he may not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence upon appeal. E. g., Rotondo v. Isthmian S. S. Co., 2 Cir., 1957, 243 F.2d 581; Srybnik v. Epstein, 2 Cir., 1956, 230 F.2d 683; Harriman v. Midland S. S. Line, Inc., 2 Cir., 1953, 208 F.2d 564. Equally often, we have held, with reference to appellant's second point, that an order denying a motion for a new trial because the verdict was "contrary to the weight of the evidence" is not appealable. E. g., Srybnik v. Epstein, supra; Harriman v. Midland S. S. Line, Inc., supra; Binder v. Commercial Travelers Mut. Acc. Ass'n, 2 Cir., 1947, 165 F.2d 896. For these reasons alone, the judgment of the trial court should not be disturbed. However, it also is apparent that there was sufficient conflicting evidence to warrant submission of the case to the jury.

IN THE MATTER OF GOLD MEDAL PACKING CORP., BANKRUPT. JOCELYN R. CANDIDO AND F. EUGENE ROMANO, APPELLANTS,v.WILLIAM A. SCHMITT, APPELLEE
Moore, Hays and Mulligan, Circuit Judges.
This is an appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York affirming a decision of the referee in bankruptcy holding that the effective date of bankruptcy was August 15, 1963, the date of the original filing of the petition. Appellants argue that the effective date of bankruptcy is September 28, 1966 when the petitioning creditors were permitted to amend their petition to cure certain alleged defects in the original petition.
Creditors have no standing to question the sufficiency of the bankruptcy petition. While before 1938 any creditor could intervene and oppose adjudication, in 1938 Section 18(b) of the Bankruptcy Act was amended to eliminate the right of creditors to file an answer and oppose a petition.
This court in In Re Carden, 118 F.2d 677 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 314 U.S. 647, 62 S. Ct. 91, 86 L. Ed. 519 (1941), ruled on the exact issue raised in the instant case. In Carden we held
". . . where there has been an amendment to the statute whereby such right formerly existent has been withdrawn, there has been the equivalent of a statutory denial of the right . . . . Consequently, the appellant was without standing to question the sufficiency of the petition." Id. at 679.
Other Circuits have reached the same conclusion. E.g., Wynne v. Rochelle, 385 F.2d 789, 798 n.9, rehearing en banc denied (5th Cir. 1967).
To hold otherwise would result in a flood of litigation and would add immeasurably to the difficulties of administering the Bankruptcy Act. The amendment to the Bankruptcy Act was adopted to avoid this result.

Japanese candlesticks are a very important tool of the Forex technical analysis. Most every trading platform includes the ability for utilizing Japanese candlestick signals and patterns. Japanese candlesticks are a versatile chart combining interval and linear approaches. Such a combination of approaches makes the chart very convenient. Japanese candlestick charts have gained the great popularity with the traders all over the world.
This graphical tool is a versatile tool: it can be used with various instruments of technical analysis. Japanese candlestick signals come much earlier than signals sent by other tools of technical analysis. Moreover, other tools of technical analysis sometimes even cannot detect those signals that are distinguished by the Japanese candlesticks. Due to these and other advantages of the Japanese candlesticks, they are widely used as a main tool of graphical analysis on the financial markets.
Japanese candlesticks show four main price levels called Open, Max, Min, and Close where Open stands for an opening price, Max stands for a maximum price for a given period, Min defines a minimum price for a given period, Close stands for a closing price.
One of the main advantages of the Japanese candlesticks is that they indicate who has the leading positions on the market: bears or bulls. The candlestick with a long white body indicates a bullish trend, while the candlestick with a long black body indicates a bearish trend. If the closing price is higher than the opening price, a long white candlestick is drawn. If the closing price is lower than the opening price then a long black candlestick is drawn. A candlestick called Doji occurs when the closing price equals the opening price. Doji does not give any signals in the sideways trend, but in the uptrend Doji indicates that the trend is about to reverse.
Hammer is a candlestick with a very long lower shadow, with a very little or no upper shadow and a small body. The candlestick body can be of a black or white color. This candlestick indicates the reversal after the up-trend. The importance of signal directly depends on the length of the lower shadow.
Engulfing bullish is one of the reversal patterns. The engulfing bullish occurs in the downtrend when the black body is engulfed by the white body of the previous period. The ideal engulfing bukkish is possible only when there is a clear downtrend on the Forex market. A long body of the second candlestick indicates that bulls are strengthening their positions on the market.
Morning star is a bottom reversal pattern formed by several candlesticks. The first candlestick is a long black body. The second candlestick is a small black or white body. The third one is a white body followed the aforementioned long black body and small black or white body. Morning star indicates that bulls are wining on the market. The importance of signal depends on the degree of the engulfment of the first candlestick by the third one.
Hanging man (Hangman or Inverted Hammer) is a candlestick with a long lower shadow and a small white or black body near the top. Hanging man is a bearish reversal pattern occurring in the uptrend. This candlestick is the opposite of Hammer. The importance of signal depends on the length of the upper shadow.
Shooting Star is a candlestick with a long upper shadow and a small white or black body near the lower end of the trading range. Shooting star occurs in the uptrend, even if the trend is a short-term trend. Ideally, the body of the shooting star should gap away from the body of the previous candlestick. This gap and a relatively small body indicate the possible price reduction and that the bears will gain control over the market.
Engulfing bearish is a reversal candlestick pattern that occurs in the uptrend when the black body engulfs the white body of the candlestick of the previous period. The ideal engulfing bearish is possible only when there is a clear uptrend on the market. This pattern indicates the changes in trend and the price reduction.
Dark Clouds (Dark Cloud Cover) is a pattern combining two candlesticks: white and black. Maximum of the white candlestick should be lower than the opening price of the black candlestick, and the closing price of the black candlestick should be inside the body of the white candlestick. Both white and black candlesticks in this pattern are long without a shadow. Dark Clouds indicate a potential weakness of the uptrend and movement to the downtrend.
Evening star is a top trend reversal pattern. It consists of a long white body, small while or black body, and a long black body. The top star (it can be a Doji star) indicates trend changes in favor of bears, and a long black candlestick, appearing after the gap, holds the reverse. The longer body of the third candlestick is, the smaller body of the first candlestick becomes and the stronger and more important signal is sent.

Boo. Date of Birth: October 8, 2011. I am a very gentle, mellow, sweet, loving boy. I love to be petted and will lay on your lap. I am also a bed buddy. I'm a playful guy who loves the interactive string or feather toys, though I'm not against looking out a sunny window at the passing parade of people and birds and squirrels. Currently I live with two dogs and other foster cats. I get along with them all, though I get along best with my foster mom. I would be fine as an only cat, or in a house with other animals. Though I enjoy getting all the attention, I'm willing to share. As long as I get my petting, I'm fine with others getting theirs. I'm just an all around easygoing fellow. Come visit, and we can be easygoing together.

Our new bi-weekly column will feature a local hip + urban girl of the week, who encompasses a fabulous attitude, job and lifestyle. We will feature a mix of entrepreneurs and urban professionals who are inspiring to follow. This week we interview Farah Balolia aka Faces By Farah, a makeup artist and beauty editor for www.facesbyfarah.com and www.Galleryfemme.com
So tell us about what you do!
I have been applying makeup to family and friends for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love what I do and the joy that comes after the fact. I decided to start a blog when I got certified which has now turned into a full on site about beauty, skin care, tips, tricks & secrets so I could share my research and knowledge with others.
What made you want to become a Make-up Artist??
I have always been a girly-girl. I was the one who my friends came to for hair and makeup advice or when they needed help getting dolled up. I remember the exact day I decided to go back to school to become a MUA, I was in Ottawa with my family for a wedding and as usual - I was doing everyone's makeup at the hotel when I blurted out, 'I wish I could do this for a living'. My mom turned to me and said, 'why don't you?'. I had my ah-ha moment in that hotel room. I came back to Toronto and enrolled a few days later.
What kind of work do you do?
The majority of my work is bridal especially during those peak wedding months. However I have done many photo shoots and video advertisements with clients such as Bank of America and Nike Canada. My work has even ended up on a billboard in Brazil, which surprised even me.
Where did you learn how to become a MUA?
I trained at the School of Makeup Art (SOMA) in the Yorkville area of Toronto where I learned the basics but have since continued to learn and grow on my own through practice.
Favourite beauty product of all time?
Hmmm…this is a hard one and I hate playing favourites but I don't know if I can go a day without my Vasanti Cosmetic Liquid Cover Up. It's seriously my holy grail, of a foundation and cover up in one.
What do you typically wear on your face?
Cargo Cosmetics Blu Ray Mattifying primer or CoverFX Matte Primer, Vasanti cosmetics liquid cover up, either Cargo or MAC Cosmetics blush, Cover Girl mascara, Annabelle Smudgeliner eyeliner and NYC watermelon flavour clear gloss.
What did you study in University/College? Would you have done anything differently?
Well let's see a little bit of this and a little bit of that! I studied Digital Media Design in college, which has come in handy as I am still in the industry full-time. If I had to do anything different I probably would have gone into the makeup industry a lot sooner. When I went back to school I was the oldest one there and the other girls very lovingly called me Grandma (in good fun of course)!
Where are your favorite places to hang out in Toronto?
When I have time to just hang out, it's usually at a friend's house or Ten Ren's Tea Shop for some yummy bubble tea....yup my bar hoping/clubbing days are long gone!
Best place to shop in the city?
Love Queen Street for its unique shops and you can't go wrong with malls like Vaughan Mills!
Tell us about your neighbourhood and what you like best about it.
Well I live just outside the city in Richmond Hill and absolutely love it! Not only is it where I grew up since moving here from BC when I was young, I feel like it's close to everything. I am 25 mins (in good traffic) from Downtown and my area is in the entertainment hub so there's always a lot to do.... plus parking is free! I lived downtown for almost 4 years and although I loved the experience it just wasn't for me.
What do you wish someone told you when you were younger and just starting out?
I wish someone had pushed me to follow my passion more. I have always loved makeup but truthfully never thought my parents would be ok with me doing it as a career. I found out that day in Ottawa just how wrong my assumptions were. My parents have been my biggest supporters since. I have finally followed my passion and couldn't be happier.
What life advice do you have for hip + urban girls out there trying to figure out what they want to do?
Figure out what makes you happy and do it because working in a field you love doesn't really seem like work and to wake up everyday and not dread going to work is the best feeling ever! Don't let anyone ever tell you you can't do this or that because if you work hard and are passionate about what you do you will have success.
