Wajifo Wakara is a 20 year old man who lives in Zada, southern Ethiopia. Wajifo started to experience severe pain and suffered redness and profuse discharge in his eyes. He had contracted the highly contagious and life destroying disease, trachoma.
Trachoma is a major cause of blindness in the world, found primarily in rural settings like Zada, in southern Ethiopia. If not treated properly, trachoma may worsen and cause blindness, due to scarring of the cornea. In Wajifo's case, the pain he experienced had a serious impact on his ability to work, sleep, and help his family members, and on his overall health and wellbeing.
To reduce the episodes of trachoma ORBIS are desperately trying to transform this region. Not only through surgeries which cure the disease, but also through distributing the antibiotic zithromax (kindly donated by Pfizer), educating locals on the importance of personal hygiene and improving sanitation by providing clean water and building latrines.
In July 2010, Wajifo underwent trichiasis surgery in his right eye, conducted by an ORBIS worker. The operation was successful and he no longer suffers excruciating pain. Since then, he has had two rounds of zithromax. This will help prevent a recurrence of trachoma. Wajifo continues to visit the Zada Health Centre for regular treatment and check-ups. Here, he can access zithromax on an on-going basis, and ensure that the risk of contracting trachoma is kept to a minimum. He was also shown how to maintain facial cleanliness to prevent the bacteria which causes infection.
Pfizer has pledged to donate the antibiotic zithromax for the life of the campaign and to date ORBIS has received $68m worth of the drug. ORBIS is currently distributing over one million doses of the antibiotic per year in southern Ethiopia.
With your support we can continue to work towards completely transforming this region so the next generation can grow up free of the threat of blindness.

Tribute To Literary Giant Sahir Ludhianvi, On His 35th Death Anniversary Today.926 views
Sahir Ludhianvi is probably the only songwriter in Hindi films whose poetry was accepted in its purest form and incorporated as a film song. So great was his stature as an Urdu poet that he never had to mould his poetry to suit the demands of film songwriting; instead, producers and composers adapted their requirements to his poetry. His songs in films like Pyaasa, Naya Daur, Phir Subah Hogi and Kabhi Kabhie have attained the status of classics.
During his nearly three decade long stint in the industry, Sahir Ludhianvi added a new life of sorts to many movies, through his skillfully crafted lyrics.
Sahir made his debut as a lyricist with the film "Azadi Ki Raah Par" in 1948. The film had four songs written by him. His first song was "badal rahii hai zindagii". Sahir's real break in Hindi films came from his meeting with SD Burman who was unaware of Sahir's reputation as an Urdu poet. When Sahir went to meet him, SDB gave him the first few notes of a tune he was working on. Sahir spontaneously wrote, "Thandi hawaaein lehra ke aayein, rut hai jawaan, tum ho yahan, kaise bhulayein". This song was used in 'Naujawan' starring Nalini Jaywant and Prem Nath. It was Sahir's ability to bring nature into his love songs that makes the songs immortal.
Most of his songs became hugely popular and are even today sung and hummed by people of all generations.
On 25 October 1980, at the age of fifty-nine, Sahir Ludhianvi suffered a massive heart attack and died.
His popularity, undiminished almost thirty five years after his death, belies his own lines from Kabhie Kabhie:
"kal aur aayenge nagmonki khilti kaliyaan chunnewaale
mujhe se behtar kehne waale, tum se behtar sunne waale
kal koi mujh ko yaad kare, kyoon koi mujh ko yaad kare
masroof zamaanaa mere liye, kyoon waqt apna barbaad kare"

Decided: November 17, 1992.
EMILIO C. CALUZA, PETITIONER,v.OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, RESPONDENT.
Appeal from the Merit Systems Protection Board. Docket No. SE08319110068.
Before Rich, Lourie, and Schall, Circuit Judges.
Emilio C. Caluza (Mr. Caluza) appeals from the February 15, 1991 initial decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or Board), Docket No. SE08319110068, which became final on June 10, 1991, affirming a decision of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) which held that petitioner was not entitled to a civil service retirement annuity. We affirm.
Mr. Caluza applied for retirement benefits pursuant to the Civil Service Retirement Act (CSRA), based upon approximately two years of civilian service with the United States War Department's Philippine-Ryukyus Command from June 5, 1947 until July 22, 1949. It is undisputed that Mr. Caluza has two years or less of federal civilian service. As a result, the Administrative Judge (AJ) found that Mr. Caluza failed to meet his burden to establish he met the minimum statutory requirements to entitle him to a civilian service retirement annuity. See 5 U.S.C. §§ 8333(a) and (b). Having failed to meet the burden of proof that, among other things, he had accumulated the requisite five years of creditable federal service, there is no basis upon which he can claim civil service annuity benefits.
This court's scope of review of an MSPB decision is limited by statute. 5 U.S.C. § 7703(c). The MSPB decision must be affirmed unless it is arbitrary, capricious, not in accordance with law, obtained without procedures required by rule, law, or regulation, or unsupported by substantial evidence. See Hayes v. Department of the Navy, 727 F.2d 1535, 1537 (Fed. Cir. 1984). Accordingly, we affirm.
We affirm.

Star (The Deleted Scenes) Wars: Episode III: Redeeming the Jedi
Lucas insists that the prequels that fans loathe were the films he wanted to make and his exact vision, and he certainly has that right. However, watching the classic Star Wars trilogy deleted scenes is a powerful reminder of the collaborative process that Star Wars once was, and how that process had changed by the time of the Lucasfilm Empire and the prequels. Lucas' original trilogy may not have been the perfect vision he sought, but their popularity didn't rise on account of the visuals alone or his sole stewardship – it rested on the characters and story. The series was clearly straying from those factors by the time of Return of the Jedi; the film was loved universally and made more money than Empire, and yes, it did bring things to a close that was in many ways (retroactively) logical, but it was not entirely satisfying. The idea of bigger and better (Creatures! Spaceships! Death Star! Explosions!) merged with cute and cuddly (Ewoks…why did it have to be Ewoks?) -- and a feel-good ending where the greatest evildoer (short of Adolph Hitler) is redeemed after half a lifetime of genocide, galactic tyranny and spousal abuse -- led to severe criticisms of the finale.
The release of the Return of the Jedi deleted scenes on Blu-Ray shows just how vital the creative collaboration process of Star Wars and Empire was to the series as a whole, and serves as an indication of how "my way" is not always the best way. Lucas spoke often about being free from Hollywood and the nightmares he dealt with from studios and production units on films like THX-1138 and the original Star Wars film, and, unlike Gene Roddenberry, Lucas often gave credit where credit was due to his production staff (many of whom went on to write, produce and direct their own successful projects, even today). Clearly, however, as scarred as the production left him, the diamond of art emerged from the coal of the conflict. The best account of this process that anyone can recommend is Michael Kaminsky's The Secret History of Star Wars, a nearly 500 page tome that, while scholarly, never lapses in entertainment, meticulous research, or interest. The book is a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the various script drafts, production issues, story conferences, and more, that lead to the shaping of the Star Wars saga over 30-odd years; the chapter on "Jedi" (detailed to a lesser degree in the Annotated Star Wars Screenplays) is mind-blowing for its specific revelation of how the storyline was warping into Shakespearean Tragedy territory and into three more films—and how certain life events and story decisions curtailed these plans and brought the series to a screeching halt -- and gave the world the film as we know it today.
The first deleted scene on the "Tatooine" menu, "Vader's Arrival and Reaching Out to Luke," actually opens the film, with Vader meditating in his Star Destroyer after speaking with commander Jerjerrod (never named in the film, but important to our understanding of the film's evolution, as we'll see) about the Emperor's arrival. Vader calls out to Luke, his son, to join him (an echo from their duel in Empire), then the screen flashes to Luke inside a cave on Tatooine as he finishes the construction of his new lightsaber (something he taught himself to do with help from a journal of Obi Wan's, or so the novelization tells us). Luke then places the saber into R2-D2's dome as C-3PO waits outside. Luke senses Vader; he seems to hear him. Luke presses on with his task, then the story picks up with the droids on their way to Jabba's palace.
This scene turned fans rabid when it was previewed at the San Diego Comcon last year, and it's easy to see why: it's iconic. We SEE where Luke's saber comes from; we SEE just how complete his new powers are. We see the telepathic link to Vader, which provides more of a hint of where their story is going (and certainly feeds into the post-Jedi Expanded Universe fiction and the prequels, such as Shadows of the Empire, where Vader is clearly meaning what he says about working with Luke against the Emperor; or the revelations of the Sith in Revenge of the Sith, when we see how the Sith are willing to betray each other for power. I'm still not convinced that Vader's link to Luke was originally intended, as the footage seems to be recycled from Empire, but the scene with Luke and the droids is genuine and complete with effects and music.
"Tatooine Sandstorm": There have been pictures, action figures, and a script for this scene, but to my knowledge, it's never been screened in its entirety until now. It was cut because it slows the action, but…so what? After blowing up Jabba's sail barge, we all could use a little beachfront R&R, and it's emotionally satisfying because we see the gang all back together, we see Han make his peace with Lando and accept his place with the rebellion, and we see everyone develop a new respect for Luke. Besides, it's just really cool to see real-life X-wing fighters next to actors, wind machines, and some pre-Dune sandgear. The scene is an emotional release and important for characterization. When scenes like that are cut for action, something's wrong.
Once we're off the "Tatooine Menu," we move on to "Endor" with the "Rebel Raid on the Bunker." There are multi-camera shots of Han, Leia, and their crack team of commandos invading the Imperial bunker, and then taking out an entire battalion of Stormtroopers inside the fortress' bowels AT CLOSE RANGE. That's right—every rebel makes his/her shot, while the Stormtroopers are shown to be complete goofs who would make even Greedo (aka "Who Fired First?" scream. Not only can they not hit the broad side of a barn, but they can't hit stationary targets that have no cover at close range. Viewed without sound, we can almost imagine this scene as inspiration for Dark Forces and the other 1990's Star Wars shoot-em-up games, as trooper after trooper goes down into a crumpled pile on the floor, like a bag of bones on a polished dance floor. Laughable but memorable. The sequence that follows, an extension of the segment where the group is captured inside the bunker, is hilarious for Harrison Ford's reply after being called "Rebel scum."
Moving onto the "Death Star II Space Battle" menu, we get "Jerjerrod's Conflict," in which the good Moff Jerjerrod (Jedi's equivalent of Grand Moff Tarkin) actually hesitates when Herr Palpatine gives the order to aim the Death Star's laser at his own people on Endor. That's right, he's a Moff with a conscience! Of course, he does what he's asked—with Palpatine as a boss and a really good pension, who wouldn't? -- but he openly sweats at the notion of collateral damage. Remember, this is the same Death Star II that Randall and Dante talk about in Kevin Smith's Clerks, with the construction crew contractors that paid the price for their involvement by being blown up by the Rebels. If Kevin Smith had known about Jerjerrod, one can only imagine the bets Dante would lose to Randall (and yes, Lucas confirmed on the Attack of the Clones DVD that the innocent contractors are in fact the insect-like Geonosians).
So, if Jerjerrod's such a great guy, and this is the scene that was filmed, why harp on him at the beginning of this piece? Kaminsky's book reveals that in the original storyline, Jerjerrod vied for power and the Emperor's favor against Vader (something that likely shaped the storyline of Shadows of the Empire, with underground crime lord Xixor taking over Jerjerrod's role). Clearly, Jerjerrod's role changed, but in light of other snippets of cut scenes and production literature in which we learn that many rebel leaders were former Imperials (including General Nadine, who has several command shots), we're given more scope to the conflict between the Rebellion and the Empire, and see not only how the Rebel fleet may have amassed enough support and expertise, but also how ticked off everyone was becoming at the Empire.
"Battle of Endor: The Lost Rebels" shows unused shots of many rebel pilots and leaders, including General Nadine, General Cracken (who served as gunner about the Millennium Falcon when it was piloted by Lando and the Sullustian alien Nien Numb), and various rebel pilots, including Sullustian Ten Numb, a Mon Calamari, and various human B-wing and A-wing pilots, including—gasp!—two women (by the way, you can see one fan's mashup of some of these deleted "Jedi" scenes and Pulp Fiction by Googling "Star Wars – La Royale with Cheese"). These shots are not necessary (some are in fact, deliberately corny), but they add scope to the Rebels and their story.
And – that's it. No alternate ending. No "To be Continued." Han doesn't die (as Harrison Ford hoped), Lando doesn't die (as screenwriter Laurence Kasdan suggested to add suspense and danger), and Luke doesn't die (which Lucas felt was necessary to hint). Unlike the original story plan involving Jerjerrod, we never see the Emperor's homeworld of Had Abaddon, Leia does not become Queen of the survivors of Alderaan, Yoda and Ben do not become "real," and Luke does not wander off into the sunset by himself, in search of the "Other" that Yoda mentioned (Confused? Intrigued? Read Kaminsky's book). Had the trilogy ended this way, it might have been left open for other storytellers and directors to devise under Lucas' guidance, but what we ended up with was, for better or worse, the fairy tale we have today, still tonally uneven as the lighthearted action romp it became tries to mesh with the darker tragedy it started as, but with these deleted scenes, it ends up a bit more powerful and perhaps even a bit more human. And now, thanks to all of the complainers like me, we will just have to go on reading novels and watching deleted scenes, knowing that there will be no more films. I'd still like to think, though, that if the Jedi can live on in the Force, then Yoda – and the saga -- will always be with us.
1 comment:
That was a great read, thanks for your thoughts. I call myself a Star Wars nerd, but I actually haven't seen any of this yet. I also have never really dug far into the inside sources. I always wondered how things came to be as they were, but mostly I just sat around wishing certain things were different. For example, I will forever dislike Hayden. For the first few years I was in denial. I had decided that perhaps Lucas' point was made by choosing a Vader who comes off as foolish, childish, annoying, and prone to making an ultimately stupid decision. However, he was completely unbelievable as a hero of the Jedi, and as a result I was not very moved by his fall. Ewan blew him off the screen in the last twenty or so minutes of the movie. It could have surpassed Empire in terms of climax if Skywalker had been portrayed by someone with a more remarkable personality. It didn't, because he wasn't. Yoda and Palpatine dueling to the death as they symbolically rose into the senate chambers was far more memorable for me, and Yoda is CGI.ReplyDelete
At the same time, I always thought that Lucas took entirely too much heat. Maybe he made mistakes, but they were his to make. He still gave us Star Wars. I am extremely depressed that he is now so against new movies.
I've always hoped for a setting in the future, with an aging Luke Skywalker as Grand Master of the New Jedi Order. Ah well.

Customer Reviews
Absolutely love this top! I am a 34D and the large fits perfectly. I've received tons of compliments and will definitely be ordering more patterns!
Love the bright colors of this top. Makes me feel I'm somewhere tropical even if I'm poolside in the city. Very flattering for larger breasted women. Love love love it!
This top is so flattering it's unbelievable! In the past I have bought bikinis with strapy backs that just pinched in all the wrong places. This one fits perfectly and makes me feel so comfortable! Can't wait to purchase again!
Some places make their clothes look different on the site and in person. Midori doesn't, everything looked exactly the same and I was very happy with that.
I ordered this bikini last week and loved it! Efficient shipping and the size fit perfectly!
I was nervous ordering this bikini without being able to try it on, but when it arrived, it fit perfectly and was very flattering! The quality is amazing as well! It's very sturdy fabric that I'm sure will last a long time. I'm very happy I ordered from Midori!
I love the Hibiscus Mau Loa top! It's so cute and such a great fit! My new favorite bikini that I can't wait to show off :)
I love this top! I had to exchange for a size up since I'm in between sizes and it runs a little small. I was answered so quickly and customer service was so helpful! The quality of the top is great and its very comfortable! Can't wait for my next purchase!
I absolutely love it! it fits perfectly! definitely going to get another print soon!
I have never felt very comfortable in a bikini until now!! This bikini is so flattering especially with the three straps that hug the back!! The print is so pretty and the fabric is thick and soft! I love it so much and I finally can feel confident walking around in a bikini thanks to Midori :) I'm a 32A and got a size small!
I was afraid at first that it wouldn't fit because I'm a 32 DD and I ordered a large. It was absolutely perfect! It's so hard to find tops that fit me. Absolutely will order again!!
Oh my gosh I can't believe I own this bathing suit! It's so perfect - great fit, gorgeous pattern, soft fabric, and stays put! There is nothing I could say that can express how happy I am. Shipping was super fast, as usual for Midori. For reference, I usually wear a 34C bra, and I got the medium. THANK YOU for my favorite suit ever!
perfect fit & beautiful material as usual. I'm a 34 D: large, & size 2 in pants: small. Favorite top & the matching bottoms are great too!!
Print is really cute would go a size down I'm a 34D and ordered a large!
The top fit perfect and had great and vibrant colors, this pattern should be used more often. Would recommend to anyone out there. 11/10
This print is fabulous! And the fabric is so soft & comfortable!
This was my first purchase from Midori Bikinis and I am so impressed. The quality is great and the design was well placed. I was a little nervous at the start as I wasn't sure how the print was going to look, however it looks great! I ordered the Croatia top too and must admit that for a smaller chested person, the Croatia probably gives you more shape, however I'm still excited to wear the Mau Loa. Shipping was quick to Sydney, Australia and I can't wait to wear it in Bali in 3 weeks time!!
It came on time and fit perfectly. I am really happy with my purchase!
Hibiscus Honey should become a signature print from Midori because it is so tropical, bright, and fun. No one on the beach or lake ever has anything like it so it really feels special. I hesitated to purchase a Mau Loa style because I thought it might not be as supportive but I actually feel like it looks as good as Croatia and Cosabella which have been my go-to styles. Thanks for bringing Hibiscus Honey back in stock and making more styles - I hope one day it comes out in more solid band bottoms like Maile or Brayden because I like the classic look and wear my whale tales all the time! For any wahine wanting help with sizing: the size chart is super accurate - I'm a 32B and purchased a medium and it fits perfectly!
Soooo cute I am in love with everything they sell
The top is very colorful and vibrant. It goes with most of my basic colored swimsuit bottoms and it is very flattering. Which I did not expect considering I'm a 34B (I got size small) and typically need a push up top. I love it. It's also great quality and I would definitely buy another one.
I love the cut of the top, but the hibiscus pattern isn't exactly symmetrical. On my left boob it's mostly white (hello nipple!), and the left is covered in a leaf so it doesn't look "right" on me. If I lived by a showroom maybe I could have tried them on, but this was an online order. Lil bit annoying, but not enough to return. Time to order more solid prints!
I went with a large because I have a small band size and a bigger cup size (32D) and this fit perfectly! Not to mention the cute print. The only problem is the fit because of my size, other than that I love it.
This is by far the cutest and most flattering bathing suit I have ever had. I am completely obsessed with it. It is extremely comfortable and flattering. I was really nervous that the top would not fit at first (I am a 34DD) but I got the XL and it fits perfectly. I will definitely be purchasing more of this top in the other colors. I highly recommend this top, even if you are large chested like me.
Love the way both the top and bottom fit. I would purchase more from Midori if it wasn't so pricy!
My Hibiscus Honey Mau Loa is great. They fit true to size. I am 5'8" 135lbs, and a 32 C. The medium top fits perfect!
Super cute and cannot wait to wear!
This is well made, cute, and comfortable! Will be buying more of these suits.
This swimsuit is so cute and is very good quality! The customer service was extremely helpful and fast to respond! I have already purchased my second one!
Super cute bikini
Absolutely love and adore this new bikini. It's comfortable and super cute
It's so comfy and cute! I've already gotten tons of complements
i love it! Fits great
Love this top, just need the bottoms to go with it
I was pleasantly surprised to receive a shipping confirmation email only a day after I placed my order with Midori! I was even happier with the service when my product arrived. The bikini was just what I imagined it would be!
Amazing !
The fabric is super soft and stretchy to fit every body type. I love the halter straps and how they're not too long, they're the perfect size.
The top I bought is sooo cute I has the perfect summer feel and it can go with any color bottoms:) THX MIDORI:))))
Beautiful fabric! So versatile because you can wear it with so many different color bottoms. I'm going to live in this top this summer!
Customer care did everything necessary to make me a happy customer and keeping me as a customer instead taking my business elsewhere! Special thanks to Rachael!
Fits beautifully! Stunning pattern and overall great quality!
This top fits me well and is so cute!
no underwire so makes my boobs look smaller than they already are:/ true to size tho and great print
I have a hard time finding cute swim suits to fit my small rib cage and large chest. I am a 32D and the medium fits me well. I definitely don't get the most coverage from this top becuase I had to size down so the band would fit, but it is still enough! It's fairly supportive, great quality, and has a super sporty but cute look. Definitely would repurchase.
It fits perfectly and the fabric feels nice-perfect for laid back beach days. I live in a cold area and haven't been on vacation to wear it yet but it is so cute and very flattering. true to size as well.
Hey Midori!!
I love my new kini! It's raining here in Santa Barbara, but as soon as it clears up I'm hitting the beach in it. However, I would love to get some bottoms to match. But I like the Brayden style... And you don't have them in that style:(
Thank ya
came in a blink of an eye! super great quality, and would recommend everyone to own a pair of Midori Bikini!
Love It!!!
Super comfy and great material!! I've been trying to find a printed top like this and I'm so glad I found the perfect one :)
Great bikini top, love it and great communication too. Thanks
This bathing suit top is the most comfortable and stylish bathing suit top I have ever had, and the back is so cute!!
Super cute and comfy! definitely this mermaids favorite bikinis to rock in the water! :D
this mau loa top is super comfy and fits perfectly !! :)) loving it so much!!
High quality material and super cute fit! Absolutely love it!
So cute!
Thank you so much!! Loving my bikini down here in Nicaragua!!
The bunking fit super well. So cute on. Love it!
I cant wait to purchase another one, i LOVE it
Super cute print and the material is very soft - yet it still holds well. Haven't worn it to the beach or pool yet, but I'm excited to try it out!
This top was so cute! Unfortunately, I had to send it back. The suit laid funny on my chest, I am a 34C and I tried both a medium and a large and neither fit quite right. The fabric stretched in an odd way. I feel that the Croatia top fit much better.
I love the material the bikinis are made out of, very comfortable and was surprised how well it fit for me as for being a little effy on the sizing when I ordered it (I don't do much online shopping) an L was perfect for 32D sizing! The packaging was quite cute also:)
I love my new suits and cant wait to wear them! I cant wait to order more especially with the new top style that just came out!
It is really nice quality and has just the right amount of padding and I love the print
I love the color and the print. It fits perfectly. I want every single top and bottom from this site!
Loved the fit but had to return due to not enough print on one side of top- too much white.
I love the material, it feels amazing! Very happy with my order
Love it! Perfect fit! Love the color/design!
Fabric and quality is beautiful, so lovely, however, it was too small. I'm hoping it is still available in my size.
Love it!
In love with your bikinis!! I was nervous about the size, but it fits me perfectly. Once more come back in stock, I'm ordering another one for sure!
I LOVE IT! Can't wait for more
You canceled my order I asked why and I never got a response I asked if it would be back in stock and no response
Love my Midori! Super comfortable and fits as listed. Definitely going to be my go-to for bikinis!
Shipping was so fast and I love the bathing suits! Can't wait to wear!
Super adorable and really comfortable. I would definitely buy another bikini top in this style from them. Very well made and worth the price.
Not a huge fan of the swimsuit material feels too stiff.
Really pretty top but the small doesn't pass for the equivalent to a size B!
The pattern is beautiful. However, I came to realize these bikinis aren't made for busty girls. According to the sizing chart I would be a Large. When I received the item I realized my "girls" were spilling out (when I was just laying around my apartment) I couldn't keep this item as I knew it wouldn't be good for the beach. I wouldn't want to worry about flashing anyone at the beach.
The bathing suit is wonderful and I love it to death! The pattern is so cute and I love the way it fits! A+ on everything! Thanks midori I plan on ordering from you guys everytime!!!
It's so comfy and the material is such good quality!! I immediately fell in love with it as soon as I tried it on!
I love it however it is too small for me and I will have to return it but it is a lovely kini!!!!!
Love my new top!! :) Thank you so much for making me feel confident in and out of the water!
Loving my kini!
Love them, thanks so much!
I absolutely love my Midori bikini! I can't wait to get another one! The sizing is perfect thanks to the size chart online and I got it in less than a week! Now I just have to wait for new stock to come in in my size! Mahalo! xX

The displacement increase to 4.5 l is achieved by fitting a crankshaft specially produced for Arden, along with new con rods and pistons. Arden elicits an impressive 480 bhp / 353 kW and an awesome torque of 640 Nm at 3.850 rpm from its supercharged 4.5 l V8 engine.The Arden body modification underlines not only the powerful character of the Arden XK AJ20 but it also increases the aerodynamic efficiency of this real sport car. The aerodynamic was intensively tested and optimised in the wind tunnel with the effect of a better air drag coefficient combined with higher down force for superb handling.While testing the AJ 20 on the high speed course at ATP Papenburg a top speed of 305 km/h makes the XK AJ 20 Coupe the fastest Jaguar currently on the road.

ELSA TAVAREZ, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,v.PATRICK OQUENDO, ET AL., DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Betty Owen Stinson, J.), entered October 17, 2007, upon a jury verdict in defendants' favor, dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
Mazzarelli, J.P., Saxe, Friedman, Acosta, DeGrasse, JJ.
The accident in 2003 occurred when the rear of the tow truck driven by defendant Oquendo struck plaintiff Tavarez as she was about to open and enter the driver's door of her parked vehicle. On appeal, plaintiffs take issue with evidentiary rulings of the trial court and elements of its charge.
Plaintiffs complain that two eyewitnesses to the accident were not allowed to estimate the speed of defendant's truck in miles per hour. However, their counsel failed to preserve objection to such alleged error and actually stipulated to ask questions regarding the speed of the vehicle without numerical estimate in miles per hour. Both witnesses testified that the vehicle was "flying" or going "fast," clearly implying that the vehicle was traveling in excess of the appropriate speed for these circumstances. Furthermore, the testimony elicited from the eyewitnesses showed that neither had witnessed the actual impact, and that both had viewed the scene from a considerable distance.
To the extent preserved, there is no merit to plaintiffs' other contentions regarding the jury charge. While there was no explicit reference to a duty to avoid hitting pedestrians, the court clearly conveyed that Oquendo was under a duty of reasonable care in the operation of his vehicle, which would include being aware of his surroundings and taking into account the actual and potential dangers existing from weather, road, traffic and other conditions. The court was not required to specifically charge PJI 2:76, regarding pedestrians walking alongside a roadway.
To the extent the record offers a basis for review, there were no material discrepancies between Oquendo's deposition and his trial testimony.
Finally, the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. The jury clearly believed Oquendo's version, crediting his testimony that he had traveled past Tavarez at a low rate of speed during a snowstorm, and that it was Tavarez who had "miscalculated," opening her car door just as the truck was passing. The fact that the truck was able to make a complete stop shortly after the impact also undermines the conclusion that it was traveling at an excessive rate of speed.

Crisp bacon
By Rojean
from Elkton MD
About Me Avid Cook
Comments about Microwave Bacon Platter:
I purchased this to cook my bacon so it would be less greasy. It works in that respect. However, it is much too flimsy. It warped the first time I used it. Had one that was much heavier and held up very well. Moved and forgot to pack it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Microwave bacon platter
By RNJ

About Me Casual Cook
I had one that I used for many years but some how it became cracked on one corner but continued to use it . When I saw this one I decided to get a new one.. This one is useful but the material isn't as good as the old one. It has warped so it doesn't lay flat. Its still better than frying because bacon tastes better and is not so greasy.. Bacon is still salty but doesn't seem so overly so.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Microwave Bacon Platter
By Ruth
from Cincinnati, OH
This product makes perfect bacon in the microwave.It tends to get misshapen after a while and little pock marks start appearing in the plastic.I've found that using paper towels under and over the bacon eliminates the pocking and also soaks up most of the grease.The shape it becomes after using it awhile is annoying,but they are inexpensive,so I just order a new one then. I'm on my third one in 3 years.

MELMEDICA-CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE, INC., PLAINTIFF,v.CENTRAL STATES JOINT BOARD TRUST FUND, DEFENDANT.
On September 6, 2005, Melmedica Healthcare, Inc. ("Melmedica") filed a two-count Amended Complaint against Central States Joint Board Health & Welfare Trust Fund ("Central States") seeking statutory penalties for an alleged violation of 29 C.F.R. §2560.503-1 in Count One and recovery based on a claim of promissory estoppel in Count Two. Count One has already been dismissed. Central States now moves to dismiss Count Two as well. For the reasons below, Central States' motion to dismiss is granted.
I. Facts
Central States is a health and welfare benefit trust plan created pursuant to the authority in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), 29 U.S.C. §1001 et seq. Melmedica is a hospital in Cook County, Illinois. Melmedica provided medical care to Vianney Martinez from August 14, 2002 through December 30, 2002. Vianney was a beneficiary of the Central States plan through his father, Refugio Martinez, who was a union member eligible for benefits. In order to obtain treatment for Vianney, Refugio Martinez assigned, in writing, all rights and benefits under the plan to Melmedica.
Melmedica served notice of its assignment and its claim for payment upon Central States on December 30, 2002, but Central States denied the claim after a dispute arose regarding benefits. Melmedica did not possess a copy of the benefits plan while treating Martinez and claims that, during multiple conversations throughout the treatment period, it had relied on the representations of Central States' agents. According to Melmedica, those agents had continued to confirm Martinez's eligibility for treatments even after his plan benefits had been exhausted. Melmedica took no further action with this matter until August 31, 2004, when it sent a letter to Central States seeking information about the plan and its available administrative remedies. Central States never responded to the letter. Melmedica then filed suit to recover statutory penalties as well as the money spent caring for Vianney Martinez. Central States answered with this motion.
II. Analysis
A Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss tests the sufficiency of a complaint, not the merits of a case. Autry v. Northwest Premium Servs., Inc., 144 F.3d 1037, 1039 (7th Cir. 1998). I should grant Central States' motion to dismiss only if Melmedica cannot prove any set of facts in support of its claim that would entitle it to relief. Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957). Furthermore, I must accept all well-pleaded factual allegations in the Amended Complaint as true, drawing all reasonable inferences from those facts in Melmedica's favor. Cleveland v. Rotman, 297 F.3d 569, 571 (7th Cir. 2002). I may grant Central States' motion only if "no relief could be granted under any set of facts that could be proved consistent with the allegations." Hishon v. King & Spalding, 467 U.S. 69, 73 (1984).
A. Jurisdiction
As a preliminary matter, I will deal with Melmedica's concerns about whether this court may retain jurisdiction to resolve Count II of the complaint. Melmedica claims that since the only federal claim has already been dismissed, there is no diversity of citizenship between the parties, and the only remaining count is a state law claim of promissory estoppel, I may lack jurisdiction to resolve the remaining issue.
Usually, if all the federal claims in a case drop out before trial, "a district court should not retain the state claims absent extraordinary circumstances." Wentzka v. Gellman, 991 F.2d 423, 425 (7th Cir. 1993). However, "[t]he interests of judicial promptness and efficiency are compelling when the defendant invokes pendent jurisdiction over state claims to assert a readily apparent meritorious federal defense such as federal law preemption." Caliendo v. Village of Franklin Park, No. 91 C 1279, 1993 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1844, at *31-32 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 18, 1993). Central States has raised the defense of preemption by ERISA against Melmedica's promissory estoppel claim. As shown below, Melmedica's claim is in fact preempted by ERISA. Therefore it is appropriate for me to retain jurisdiction and resolve this matter. See id. at 32.
B. Preemption by ERISA
Melmedica bases its claim for relief upon a state law claim of promissory estoppel. However, the ERISA statute states that it "shall supersede any and all State laws insofar as they may now or hereafter relate to any employee benefit plan." 29 U.S.C. §1144(a). This provision prevents the use of state law, including common law, if the cause of action "relates to" a benefit plan. Pilot Life Ins. Co. v. Dedeaux, 481 U.S. 41, 45 (1987). However, preemption may not occur when a state cause of action affects an ERISA plan in a manner that is too remote, tenuous or peripheral. See Shaw v. Delta Air Lines, Inc., 463 U.S. 85, 100 n.21 (1983).
Melmedica argues that the preemption clause does not apply to a claim of promissory estoppel by a medical services provider. It relies on Rehabilitation Inst. of Chicago v. Group Adm'rs, Ltd., 844 F. Supp. 1275 (N.D. Ill. 1994), to show that a medical care provider's state law claim is not preempted by ERISA. In Rehabilitation Institute, an agent of the benefit plan orally assured a medical provider that the beneficiary's desired treatment was covered, but the benefit plan subsequently refused to reimburse the provider for the medical care. The court denied the defendant's motion to dismiss, stating that preemption did not apply because the third-party claim "will have no more than a tenuous and remote impact on the [benefits] plan." Id. at 1282.
The problem with Melmedica's argument is that a crucial part of the Court's holding in Rehabilitation Institute was its finding that "[u]nlike plan participants and beneficiaries, third party health care providers are non-ERISA entities . . . ." Id. Since the medical provider was a non-ERISA entity, allowing the state law claim to continue would not affect the relationship between the principal ERISA entities or the plan's administration. Id. In contrast, accepting the allegations in the present complaint as true, Melmedica is actually one of the principal ERISA entities. Once Martinez assigned his rights to Melmedica, it became a beneficiary of the plan. See Kennedy v. Connecticut Gen. Life Ins. Co., 924 F.2d 698, 700 (7th Cir. 1991). As a beneficiary, Melmedica's remedies are limited to those outlined in the actual benefit plan - oral modifications are not permitted. See Pohl v. Nat'l Benefits Consultants, Inc., 956 F.2d 126, 128 (7th Cir. 1992). Using a state law promissory estoppel claim to prevent the plan's denial of coverage would be inappropriate and would contravene the purposes of the ERISA statute, which is "to protect the financial integrity of pension and welfare plans by confining benefits to the terms of the plan as written . . . ." Id.
The preemption of Melmedica's state law claim does not automatically mandate its dismissal. Although the allegations may not state a claim for relief under state common law, the allegations still might state a claim for estoppel according to federal law. Incorrectly specifying a legal theory should not be fatal to a case. Bartholet v. Reishauer A.G. (Zurich), 953 F.2d 1073, 1078 (7th Cir. 1992). Thus, I must inquire into the sufficiency of Melmedica's allegations under federal law as well.
C. Equitable Estoppel
The Seventh Circuit has recognized a form of estoppel in some ERISA cases. See, e.g., Coker v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 165 F.3d 579, 585 (7th Cir. 1999). The elements of this doctrine are: (1) a knowing misrepresentation; (2) made in writing; (3) with reasonable reliance on that misrepresentation by the plaintiff; (4) to her detriment. Id. Melmedica does not claim that any of Central States' assertions were made in writing. Therefore, even though it relied on those assertions, Melmedica does not have a claim. "A claim will not lie for every false statement reasonably and detrimentally relied upon by an unwitting plaintiff." Id. (emphasis in original). As a result, Melmedica's claim must be dismissed.
On a final note, Central States argues that even if Melmedica did allege a sufficient cause of action, it would be barred by ERISA from filing suit because Melmedica did not exhaust its administrative remedies and did not abide by the time limits imposed by the plan for seeking administrative appeal and for filing suit. Since I have dismissed the claim, I need not address these other arguments.
For the above reasons, Defendant's motion to dismiss is GRANTED.

Program/Project Management
Federal, county and independent engineers have teamed up on an emergency response to safeguard the Wanapum Dam in Washington State after divers discovered a two-inch-wide, 65-foot-long crack in a spillway pier.
Water levels in the Wanapum Reservoir on the Columbia River were drawn down 20 feet by Monday (March 3) to reduce pressure on the spillway, officials said.
A spokesman called the problem serious but said it "posed no immediate threat."
The level was reduced six feet last week and an additional 14 week over the weekend.
'Serious' But 'No Immediate Threat'
A team of engineers and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission personnel has been constantly monitoring and evaluating the structure, and officials have warned downstream towns and government agencies about the damage.
All boat launches on the Wanapum Reservoir and the Priest Rapids Reservoirs downstream have been closed.
"At this point, we already know there's a serious problem," Grant County Public Utility District spokesman Thomas Stredwick told reporters last week. However, he added, "there's no immediate threat to public safety."
'Bowing' Seen
Divers discovered the structural damage Thursday (Feb. 27) along the base of one of the spillway piers after an engineer noticed a "bowing" in the roadway above the dam, Stredwick said.
Inspectors later discovered that the 820-foot-long spillway was raised 2.5 inches above the water.
The crack in a spillway pier was found after an engineer noticed "bowing" in the roadway above the dam. Later readings found movement in the structure.
"Survey readings taken earlier this week showed that the area has moved outside of historical norms," Stredwick said in a statement Thursday.
Subsequent readings showed no additional movement, he added.
The drawdrawn was ordered "to reduce the pressure on the spillway while inspectors investigate," Stredwick said.
Spillway Set-up
Spillways allow the water to "spill" past the dam, rather than running through the turbines. The spillway consists of multiple, independent structural sections that support the spillway gates.
Each of Wanapum Dam's 12 50-by-68-foot spillway gates is capable of passing roughly 80,000 cubic feet of water per second based on current river conditions, the utility said.
The Wanapum Dam stretches more than a mile across the Columbia River, just downstream from I-90.
"In a worst-case scenario, if one of the spillway sections failed, the remainder of the spillways and the main dam structure would remain intact," the utility said. "Under current conditions, the amount of water that would flow through this section of the dam would be within the range of normal river conditions."
The dam is still generating electricity for 45,000 customers. No repair plan or cost estimate has been released.
About the Dam
Named for a Native American tribe that lives along a stretch of the Columbia River, Wanapum Dam is located six miles downstream from Vantage, WA; 18 miles upstream of Priest Rapids Dam; and 415 miles above the mouth of the river. It is just downstream from where Interstate 90 crosses the river.
The $93.2 million structure opened in July 1963 after four years of construction. Wanapum Dam was financed by long-term revenue bonds that were retired through the sale of power.
The dam is 8,320 feet long and 185 feet high from its deepest excavation point.

My bike and me!
Saturday, March 23, 2013
Me and my bike. The continuing saga. Nice day to ride with friends. Got bike out and tried to pump up back tire. It went flat. Stefanie to the rescue!!! Got it pumped up but not all the way. Got on it and started out. NOW it went bumpidy bump. Decided to just keep going. Very nice ride out to Rainier for Main Street cookies:) On way back decided to go back on Waldrick instead of trail. Sounded good at the time until 2 dogs came out after us. Intent on getting some meat from one of us (mostly Stefanie I think), they separated us since I was NOT going to try to go by them. Ended up calling 911 and got the Sheriff out there. They followed him down their driveway at which time we were able to reunite. Really scarey! Then we had to go up McCorkle road. Did not make it all the way up but continued on the smaller hill. Got home, took my bike to the shop and asked him to change my tire. Cool, it had a bubble in it and blew up in the shop. Ka Pow!!! Got a new tube, they pumped it up and now I should be ready for my ride tomorrow. I can hardly wait to see what my bike has in store for me:)

Hopefully you all read about my really nice bike ride the next day. It was the NEW tire that exploded in the shop. Had a big bubble. Yesterday was uneventful and very relaxing.

Well, at least you can say that your day wasn't boring!
I'm glad that the tire tube didn't explode while you were riding your bike. I'm glad also you were able to get the police to help you get the dogs away. Hope your bike ride yesterday was a little less eventful.

What we need to do is abolish the minimum wage, don't you think? That way, instead of labor fighting for better jobs with better pay, the working man can eat their own competing for the lowest paying job possible with the worst working conditions. Honest to Christ, I have never encountered a person who is so willing as you are to be someone else's bitch.
#14179 Nov 24, 2012
Right. Because corporations are so benevolent. The CEOs care about their labor and not their own salaries and bonuses.
You would have made an excellent slave.
#14180 Nov 24, 2012
Yes, I do think we need to abolish minimum wage. Minimum wage workers are generally part-time people who either supplement the family income or are college kids working for extra money. All minimum wage accomplishes is inflating us even further from the world market because of the domino effect it has on wages that pay more than minimum wage.
Sure, labor fights for better pay and better jobs, but when push comes to shove, companies like Hostess either fold up or leave the state or country. That's what all that fighting accomplished. Until that time, the costs gets passed on to consumers who in return demand cheaper products. But I guess the tale of our auto industry didn't teach you that yet.
#14181 Nov 24, 2012
The job of a CEO is to make the company the most profit that he or she can. That's their only concern. Companies did not open up to give people jobs. Companies open up to produce products and services for consumers. That's it.
#14182 Nov 24, 2012
Why even have pay at all? We should go back to the glory days of the company store.
#14183 Nov 24, 2012
Exactly. Yet you think labor can exist based on the good graces of the CEO. It doesn't work that way. Left to their own devices, we would regress back to the days of child labor, 50 cents per hour, and workers being maimed and killed to add a penny of profit.
#14185 Nov 24, 2012
It's almost as if America isn't buying the crap you've been selling. Let's look to the last election for answers. What you fail to mention is the fact that people like you have had a monopoly on this country for decades and look what it got us. Your kind gleefully jammed your religious garbage into our public schools and ignored the fact that the founders of this country made it very clear that one religion should not rule this nation. Really, when I walk out to my car at night, I'm not looking over my shoulder for gay marriage or abortion or Commies. I'm looking for the nutball with the high capacity Christian sponsored NRA gun in his hand.
#14186 Nov 24, 2012
Sure it will. I guess that's why all these illegals come to this country; because Americans are so willing to work for nothing.
In life, you don't depend on the good graces of anybody. You work hard, get an education or invest in your own company. My middle-east beverage store owner never needed minimum wage, neither did my Indian owned Mr.Hero or Seven Eleven. They come here barely knowing the language, work hard and save every dime while learning the language a little better. Then they take that money and open up their own business.
Americans can't do that because they are used to being pampered by government and unions. There is no motivation to better oneself. Somebody will come along and make it right for me. Why should I try?
#14187 Nov 24, 2012
You never did tell us how your old man likes his union pension.

#14189 Nov 24, 2012
Just 4 questions....Would you please identify who has had a monopoly for decades?
Also ID who is jamming religious garbage into schools & which schools?
The 'founders' made sure that the government would not endoese any religion. They did NOT ban religion.
What's a 'high capacity Christian'?

#14192 Nov 24, 2012
Christian Conservatives, the most wealthy and numerous voting force in our nation have had a monopoly on this country for decades. Rightwing Christian conservatives made numerous attempts to force their personal religious beliefs into taxpayers public schools for many years. Since this isn't obvious to you, allow me to be the first to welcome you to America.
A "high capacity Christian", in this instance, is what is known as a fragment of a sentence. Perhaps if your lazy foodstamp riding @ss would have finished the entire sentence...

Celebrators on the Arcata Plaza this New Years Eve can expect to see increased law enforcement and access to the William McKinley statue blocked off. According to Arcata Police the department is expected to police the plaza like last year's holiday.
According to Det. Sgt. Todd Dokweiler the increased enforcement has prevented crime and vandalism in Arcata.
In past years, Dokweiler said, people have vandalized and attempted to climb the statue. "Over the past few years we've been pretty successful in curtailing that kind of behavior," said Dokweiler.
