October 3, 1944
COLE ELECTRIC PRODUCTS CO., Inc., et al.
MOSCOWITZ, District Judge.
The Bulldog Electric Products Company, hereinafter referred to as Bulldog, the plaintiff herein, has made a motion to obtain a temporary stay of all further action with respect to the counterclaim of the defendant, Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, hereinafter referred to as Westinghouse, and particularly for a stay on the motion of Westinghouse for summary judgment on its counterclaim.
The defendant Westinghouse has moved for summary judgment under its counterclaim for declaratory judgment that plaintiff's United States patent No. 2,285,770 is not infringed by Westinghouse and is invalid.
This action was brought in May, 1942, for the infringement of the following patents: Nos. 2,041,675, 2,059,986, 2,059,988, Reissue No. 20,436, 2,230,423, 2,251,403, 2,251,404, 2,264,075, which relate to bus duct equipment, and No, 2,103,325 for panel board. The defendant, Cole Electric Products Co., Inc., served its answer in May, 1943. Westinghouse's answer and counterclaim were served on December 15, 1943. Plaintiff replied to the counterclaim on June 7, 1944.
Westinghouse commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia on November 13, 1943. That action was brought for infringement of the following United States patents: Reissue No. 19,987, Reissue No. 21,429, No. 1,779,848, No. 2,060,472, 2,073,103, 2,190,517, 2,229,412 and 2,329,362, which relate to circuit breakers and panel circuit breaker. Bulldog's answer was filed in that action on or about July 1, 1944. The answer includes a counterclaim relating to patent No. 2,285,770. This patent is the subject matter of the counterclaim in the action at bar.
Plaintiff requests that this action be stayed pending an application in the West Virginia action to enjoin the defendant from proceeding under its counterclaim.
It is the law that the court which first acquires jurisdiction of an equitable action shall retain it and determine the issue. Upon the argument of this motion the Court suggested that either this action or the West Virginia action should be tried and that the time of two judges should not be taken up. Plaintiff offered to stipulate that Westinghouse choose the forum, whether in New York or in West Virginia, for trying the entire circuit breaker controversy. Westinghouse up to the present time has refused to avail itself of this offer.
I think the disposition of this offer should be reconsidered by Westinghouse. It would seem to serve no useful purpose to have two trials. While the Court's sympathies are with the plaintiff upon this application, the law seems to be with the defendant. This action having been begun prior to the West Virginia action, the motion is denied. See Milwaukee Gas Specialty Company v. Mercoid Corporation, 7 Cir., 104 F.2d 589; Penn General Casualty Company v. Pennsylvania, 294 U.S. 189, 55 S. Ct. 386, 79 L. Ed. 850.

Prince Hal, Henry IV Part Two
Why doth the crown lie there upon his pillow, being so troublesome a bedfellow? O majesty, when thou dost pinch thy bearer thou dost sit like a rich armour worn in the heat of day, that scalds with safety. My gracious lord. My father.

"Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere;
Nor can one England brook a double reign,
Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales."
- William Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part 1
After Prince Hal gallantly took his clothes off for important plot reasons in The Hollow Crown this week, I thought he might like to try making a career out of it…
The Hollow Crown: Henry IV, Part 2
The way Hal (Jamie Parker) strokes the king's hand in this scene (Henry IV Part 2 at The Globe) kills me. He's like a little kid, playing with his dad's hand while he tells him a bedtime story. It's so familiar - so intimate and natural - one of the few times they actually make any physical contact and one of the only times the king isn't yelling at him for being a wayward child.
And then his dad sighs: "My Harry…" and Hal has to turn away to stop himself from crying
Perfect scene.

decided: May 16, 1968.
Matter of Hillowitz, 28 A.D.2d 880, reversed.
Judges Burke, Scileppi, Bergan, Breitel and Jasen concur with Chief Judge Fuld; Judge Keating concurs in result.
This appeal stems from a discovery proceeding brought in the Surrogate's Court by the executors of the estate of Abraham Hillowitz against his widow, the appellant herein. The husband had been a partner in an "investment club" and, after his death, the club, pursuant to a provision of the partnership agreement, paid the widow the sum of $2,800, representing his interest in the partnership. "In the event of the death of any partner," the agreement recited, "his share will be transferred to his wife, with no termination of the partnership." The executors contend in their petition that the above provision was an invalid attempt to make a testamentary disposition of property and that the proceeds should pass under the decedent's will as an asset of his estate. The widow maintains that it was a valid and enforcible contract. Although the Surrogate agreed with her, the Appellate Division held that the agreement was invalid as "an attempted testamentary disposition" (24 A.D.2d 891).*fn1
A partnership agreement which provides that, upon the death of one partner, his interest shall pass to the surviving partner or partners, resting as it does in contract, is unquestionably valid and may not be defeated by labeling it a testamentary disposition. (See, e.g., Gabay v. Rosenberg, 29 A.D.2d 653, 654, following remission, 19 N.Y.2d 899; Matter of Eddy, 175 Misc. 1011, 1016, affd. 262 App. Div. 1015, affd. 290 N. Y. 677; Shubert v. Lawrence, 27 A.D.2d 292, 296; Matter of Karlinski, 180 Misc. 44, 48; Matter of Mildrum, 108 Misc. 114, 116; McKinnon v. McKinnon, 56 F. 409, 412; Balafas v. Balafas, 263 Minn. 267, 276; see, also, Lanier v. Bowdoin, 282 N. Y. 32, 38, 40; 1 Rowley, Partnership [2d ed., 1960], pp. 704-705.) We are unable to perceive a difference in principle between an agreement of this character and one, such as that before us, providing for a deceased partner's widow, rather than a surviving partner, to succeed to the decedent's interest in the partnership. (See, e.g., Faggelle v. Marenna, 131 Conn. 277, 280; see, also, Wild v. Davenport, 48 N. J. L. 129, 136; Lindley, Partnership [12th ed., 1960], pp. 458-459.)
These partnership undertakings are, in effect, nothing more or less than third-party beneficiary contracts, performable at death. Like many similar instruments, contractual in nature, which provide for the disposition of property after death, they need not conform to the requirements of the statute of wills. (See, e.g., Matter of Fairbairn, 265 App. Div. 431, 433, mot. for lv. to app. den. 291 N. Y. 828.) Examples of such instruments include (1) a contract to make a will (see, e.g., Ga Nun v. Palmer, 216 N. Y. 603, 610; Phalen v. United States Trust Co., 186 N. Y. 178, 184; Gilman v. McArdle, 99 N. Y. 451, 461); (2) an inter vivos trust in which the settlor reserves a life estate (see, e.g., Matter of Ford, 304 N. Y. 598; City Bank Farmers Trust Co. v. Cannon, 291 N. Y. 125; City Bank Farmers Trust Co. v. Charity Organization Soc., 264 N. Y. 441; and (3) an insurance policy. (See, e.g., Hutchings v. Miner, 46 N. Y. 456, 460-461; Johnston v. Scott, 76 Misc. 641, 648; Ambrose v. United States, 15 F. 2d 52; see, also, Ward v. New York Life Ins. Co., 225 N. Y. 314; Note, 53 A L R 2d 1112.)
In short, members of a partnership may provide, without fear of running afoul of our statute of wills, that, upon the death of a partner, his widow shall be entitled to his interest in the firm. This type of third-party beneficiary contract is not invalid as an attempted testamentary disposition.
The executors may derive little satisfaction from McCarthy v. Pieret (281 N. Y. 407), upon which they heavily rely. In the first place, it is our considered judgment that the decision should be limited to its facts. And, in the second place, the case is clearly distinguishable from the one now before us in that the court expressly noted that the "facts * * * indicate a mere intention on the part of the mortgagee to make a testamentary disposition of the property and not an intention to convey an immediate interest" and, in addition, that the named beneficiaries "knew nothing of the provisions of the extension agreement" (p. 413).
The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed, with costs in this court and in the Appellate Division, and the order of the Surrogate's Court reinstated.
Order reversed, etc.
Judge Keating concurs in result in the following memorandum: I concur in reversal but find it difficult to distinguish McCarthy v. Pieret (281 N. Y. 407), and am not prepared to overrule that authority. I prefer to rest reversal on the ground that respondent widow is entitled to interest in the partnership by right of survivorship as set forth in the second opinion of the Surrogate (51 Misc. 2d 666).

School activities for opening day highlight the excitement that the first day of school brings. After a long summer, many kids are anxious as they anticipate what crafts or lessons their teacher decides to feature on opening day. Some activities might involve class rules or what to expect for the year ahead. Teachers also encourage students to introduce themselves and discuss their personal interests with the class.
Class Scrapbook
Begin the first day of school right by starting a class scrapbook that you and the children will continually craft throughout the year. Show the kids how to add embellishments to the first page and spend some time taking photos of the kids for future pages. Use plain colors in addition to patterned card stock. Dedicate one page for goals for the year. Ask each child to write her name on the page in alphabetical order and write one or two sentences that describes their most vital goal for the year.
Class Garden
Buy potting soil along with a miniature pot or several pots for each child in the class along with seed packets for peas, flowers and other plants. Ask the kids in the classroom to choose what type of plant they would like to grow. Help them fill their pots with potting mix and plant the seeds. Place the pots on a table near a sunny window and watch the plants grow. You can also ask the kids to write a report about why they chose a particular plant and how fast they think it will grow. This is another hands-on activity that starts the year on a positive note.
Ask the kids to introduce themselves in front of the class and tell everyone about their summer vacation. This is a great way for kids to get to know each other and find out a little about their classmates' lives. The kids can also talk about what their goals are for the new school year.
List of Favorites
Ask the kids to write down a list of their favorite things such as cats, dogs, bikes, Disneyland or teddy bears. Give the kids magazines and ask them to cut out pictures they find of their favorite things. They can also draw or print out pictures online if they are not able to find an item in a magazine. Help the kids glue pictures of their selections on construction paper and encourage them to write down why they love these things.

AMT company has been providing top-notch quality and highly efficient pumps on the US and Global markets for over 70 years already. Their product line is incredibly wide and consists of pumps for various needs and requirements, including engine driven and electric pumps of various models like centrifugal, diaphragm, coolant, self-priming, rotary and piston drum, sump and submersible pumps. AMT pumps can be made of bronze, cast iron, stainless steel and aluminum, but every single machine is designed, engineered and manufactured up to the highest industry standards.
Are you looking for high-performance AMT pumps for your residential or commercial needs? Perhaps, you need original AMT pump parts to get your machine up and running again? How about some specific AMT accessories to improve your equipment performance? With any of related needs you have, Lawnmowerpros is the only right Web destination.
We are here to offer a very extensive selection of AMT pumps, parts and accessories at the most competitive prices to meet your related requirements to the fullest. Whatever item you may be interested in from the entire AMT product line, you will surely find it in our online catalog that is very easy-to-use and navigate and provides detailed descriptions along with images under every single product.
All pumps available perfectly accomplish their core mission of moving and lifting high volumes of water or any other liquids to substantial heights in a very efficient manner. However, depending on the model, they may somehow vary in their operation mode and functionality. For example, an AMT centrifugal pump uses a turning impeller to increase and control water pressure. As its name suggests, a diaphragm pump moves liquids up and down with the help of a diaphragm that is squeezed. The main distinction of AMT self-priming pumps is the ability to re-prime - when a machine gets air bound, it clears all the passages of air itself and then continues to deliver fluids without any outside assistance.
For any your regular maintenance or sudden repair needs, we suggest you to browse through the AMT pump parts and AMT pump accessories sections, where you will find pump hoses, roll cage frames, engines, nipples, foot valves, mounting bases and many more.

- Yield
- 6-8 servings
- Active Time
- 30 min
- Total Time
- 1 hr 30 min
- â¢One large pkg of dark meat chicken, legs, thighs or a combination
- â¢1 teaspoon of seasoned salt (like Lawry's)
- â¢1-1/2 cups of all purpose flour
- â¢1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, or to taste
- â¢About a cup or so canola oil
- â¢1-1/2 cups of chopped onion
- â¢1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- â¢3/4 cup of reserved seasoned flour
- â¢4 to 6 cups of chicken broth
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the canola oil in a dutch oven over medium high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken lightly with seasoned salt. Whisk the Cajun seasoning into the flour and dredge the chicken into the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Reserve the seasoned flour. Fry the chicken pieces until lightly browned all over, set aside on a rack to drain. Add the onion and bell pepper to the hot oil and drippings and saute until tender, but not over-browned. Stir in 3/4 cup of the reserved flour, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Cook, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. Begin adding the chicken broth, one cup at a time, blending each cup in before adding the next. Stop when gravy reaches the desired consistency. Remove pot from the heat and add the chicken to the pot, turning to coat all sides of each piece; transfer pot to the oven. Bake at 350 for about one hour, gently stirring up from the bottom to prevent burning, and turning pieces occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.

Loyalty marketing programs targeted at young mothers and families are nothing new for supermarket retailers. What's rare, however, are card-based efforts designed to reach another demographic: senior citizens.
Yet that's exactly what Price Chopper Supermarkets, Schenectady, N.Y., is doing. Recognizing the importance of adults age 60 and over, the chain has launched the Senior AdvantEdge Network, a new loyalty initiative designed exclusively for seniors in the Albany, N.Y., area.
In partnership with Senior Services of Albany, a nonprofit organization, Price Chopper is providing discounts on select products sold in its supermarkets, as well as savings on nearly 25 community services, including financial and estate planning, long-term care insurance, medical testing and equipment, and restaurants and attractions. Additional partnerships will be formed as the program develops.
"Price Chopper is committed to the senior market, and to helping area seniors get the products and services they need," Neil Golub, president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
Seniors can register for free at customer service desks of all Capital-region Price Chopper supermarkets. Once they're members, they get a sticker to place on their Price Chopper AdvantEdge loyalty card. Membership provides access to exclusive savings in Price Chopper pharmacies, including 15% to 80% off prescription drug costs; and 50% off osteoporosis, blood pressure and diabetes screenings.
Along with pharmaceuticals, members can get $4 off all FTD orders placed at Price Chopper's floral departments.
The in-store discounts are a way for Price Chopper to appeal to customers who may otherwise buy their pharmaceuticals and floral arrangements elsewhere, according to Mona Golub, consumer services manager for Price Chopper, which operates about 100 stores in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
"Pharmaceuticals and flowers are sold in many different places," Golub said. "This is our way of being competitive."
Food is not included in the program at this time, stated Golub.
Along with discounts at Price Chopper stores, members are entitled to savings on a broad spectrum of community products and services. Among them:
A free, in-home assessment from a registered nurse if home care services are ordered;
$200 discount on funeral services;
$5 off two dinners at select restaurants.
"This program will be a huge benefit to seniors and Senior Services of Albany as we continue to develop programs and services for seniors in our community," said Ann DiSarro, executive director, Senior Services of Albany.
Senior AdvantEdge is available in about 40 Price Chopper stores in the Capital region. There are no plans to expand it to other markets at this time, according to Golub. Between 3,000 to 4,000 seniors have registered so far.
Price Chopper provides all program support, including signs at Price Chopper pharmacies and customer service desks, and at partner stores. Senior AdvantEdge Network partners pay a small fee to Senior Services of Albany.
The program kicked off in June at a "Senior Night" at Price Chopper's Loudon Plaza store in Latham, N.Y. Nearly 1,000 people registered that night alone. The event included program information, as well as health screenings and product giveaways.
Price Chopper could be one of the first supermarkets to target seniors via a loyalty card, according to Glenn Hausfater, managing partner, Partners in Loyalty Marketing, Chicago, a consulting and research firm.
However, it's predicted that many more will eventually get involved.
"As the concept of loyalty marketing matures, retailers will not only continue to focus on the premium demographic of young families, but also to the 60-and-over population," said Spencer Hapoienu, president, Insight Out of Chaos, New York, a marketing management firm.
The reason for this is that retailers can't ignore the economic clout of the nation's aging population. Not only do seniors represent a large percentage of the population, they also have a high disposable income.
Plus, marketing to seniors is easier than to other demographic groups, Hapoienu said, citing that seniors' lives are less hectic than those of younger shoppers. Seniors also have more time to pay attention to offers.
"Retailers have more flexibility in terms of what they can offer seniors, compared to young families," he said.
Retailers that analyze seniors' loyalty card data could gain an advantage over mainstream retailers, and even Wal-Mart. Research has shown that because the senior demographic is more established and stable, they respond better to value-added programs and will maintain their loyalty longer.
Card-based programs like Price Chopper's can produce big payoffs in that they make seniors feel recognized and appreciated, said Dianne Durkin, president, Loyalty Factor, Portsmouth, N.H., a training and management consulting firm.
"People want to be viewed as being unique," she said. "There's a psychological effect to it."
To be successful, retailers can't rely on price discounts alone, Hapoienu stressed. Rather, they need to make sure that along with offering savings, they cater to senior lifestyles in other ways, such as stocking smaller packaging sizes and providing more convenient checkout lanes.
"Pharmacy items certainly make sense, but it needs to go beyond that to shelf sets, product mix and checkouts," Hapoienu said.
The main difficulty in executing senior-oriented loyalty programs is getting the right message across, according to PILM's Hausfater. That means understanding the differences between adults over 60 and aging baby boomers, who are still a few years away from turning 60. For instance, the over-60 group is synonymous with aging and retirement, while aging boomers are not.
"For the over-60 crowd, the message of 'You've worked hard all your life. You've earned. You deserve it' is appropriate," said Hausfater. That may not be the best way to communicate with boomers -- many of whom are still working and are several years away from retirement.
While both groups are interested in whole health, the over-60 group is focused on dealing with specific conditions like hypertension, weight, diabetes and heart disease. In contrast, aging baby boomers are more concerned with staving off these conditions with lifestyle changes and medicine, as opposed to medicine alone.

What does it mean to be a visual aid in worship? Moving Liturgy: Dance in Christian Worship provides readers with powerful ideas to bring prayers, parables, hymns, and scripture passages to life in the most direct way--storytelling in dance and movement through the body--the best visual aid This book offers practical and artistic information for anyone interested in learning about, or re-affirming, the use of dance and movement in worship. Jane Wellford has worked extensively in the arts of liturgical dance and drama in collaboration with clergy, musicians, conductors, visual artists, dancers, and entire congregations. Successful ideas for worship, as well as creative possibilities, are all included in this book. I believe that worship should be made multi-sensory, exciting, and as connected to real life experiences as possible. The more senses that are involved in worship, the more likely the message will be received. When we hear the word of God shared through words or music, see it come to life through dance, drama, or other visual arts, experience it through speaking the prayers, confessions, or creeds, and sing it through hymns or chants, we are more actively engaged in the experience of worship. ""Learning 'The Lord's Prayer' from Jane confirmed my calling as a liturgical and sacred dancer. That was 1997 at a Sacred Dance Festival. Now in 2016, this dance is the signature piece of the Sacred Dance Ensemble of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Jane is an inspirational teacher, choreographer, and dancer. The liturgical world will be enriched by her book."" --Vicky Nichols Wilder, Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist; Artistic Director, Sacred Dance Ensemble of Fredericksburg ""InMoving Liturgy, Jane Wellford presents a rich history of liturgical dance and offers practical and creative ways to involve movement and dance in worship. Her passion for liturgical dance and vast experience in many congregations makes this a tremendous resource and guide for worship committees, church musicians, and clergy seeking ways to enhance worship through movement. An enjoyable and enlightening read "" --J. Patrick Murphy, Organist-Choirmaster, First Presbyterian Church of Burlington, NC ""Jane Wellford has created a book for dance in the Christian church. Worship planners and leaders, Christian educators, retreat leaders, musical leadership, and anyone involved in the creation of events for the Christian church will find this book invaluable. Beginning and seasoned liturgical dancers will be inspired. She has thought through the process to ensure that dance in the Christian tradition is a sacred experience for dancers and all involved."" -- Karen Josephson, former President, the Sacred Dance Guild; Author of The Christian Body Dances: A History of Dance in the Christian Church Jane C. Wellford is a Professor of Dance in the Performing Arts Department of Elon University. With a BA in Theatre and an MFA in Dance, Wellford uses her arts background to work collaboratively with churches in worship arts. As Director of Moving Liturgy Dance Ensemble, a professional liturgical dance troupe, Wellford and her troupe have performed extensively throughout the United States, offering a repertory of 237 dances of worship to hundreds of churches and conferences."

CLIFFORD H. WOODALL, PLAINTIFF,v.THE VILLAGE OF WASHINGTON PARK, ILLINOIS, THE WASHINGTON PARK POLICE COMMITTEE, AND COL. WENDELL WILSON, DEFENDANTS.
I. Introduction
Pending before the Court is the Village of Washington Park, Illinois' motion to dismiss (Doc. 53). Specifically, the Village of Washington Park, Illinois ("Washington Park") moves to dismiss Count VII of Plaintiff's First Amended complaint arguing that it is clear that Washington Park did not agree to a consent judgment in the amount of $100,000 being entered against it, thus, Plaintiff's breach of contract claim in Count VII must be dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiff opposes the motion maintaining that Count VII alleges an offer of settlement terms to Washington Park and alleges a clear and unequivocal acceptance by Washington Park to Plaintiff's offer (Doc. 59). Based on the following, the Court grants Washington
Park's motion to dismiss.
On January 12, 2006, Clifford H. Woodall filed a seven -count amended complaint against Washington Park, the Washington Park Police Committee, and Col. Wendell Wilson (Doc. 46). Woodall alleges violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Washington Park (Count I), the Washington Park Police Committee (Count II), and Col. Wendell Wilson in his official and individual capacities (Count III). Woodall also alleges breach of contract against Washington Park (Count IV), mandamus against the Village of Washington Park (Count V) and Col. Wendell Wilson (Count VI) and breach of contract against Washington Park (Count VII).
Woodall claims that he was fired from his employment as a part-time officer for the Village of Washington Park on January 24, 2002. Woodall alleges that he was terminated without just cause and without written notice or an opportunity to be heard in his own defense. Woodall also alleges that Col. Wilson retaliated against him after he "spoke out on matters of public concern including, but not limited to, his political affiliations with local government officials and his observations that Col. Wendell Wilson was intoxicated on several occasions while on duty for, and while driving his police vehicle provided by, the Village of Washington Park." (Doc. 46: Count 1, ¶ 10; Count III, ¶ 11; Count V, ¶ 9; and Count VI, ¶ 8). Specifically, Woodall alleges that Col. Wilson knowingly made various misrepresentations to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board ("the Board") which resulted in the Board rescinding Woodall's training certification. Furthermore, in Count VII, Woodall alleges:
"In late July and early August 2005, Plaintiff and Defendant Village of Washington Park, through their authorized agents and counsel, Clay B.
St. Clair and Stephen R. Clark, entered into a settlement agreement whereby Defendant agreed, among other things, to (a) enter into a consent judgment for One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant Village of Washington Park in the above captioned matter, and (b) execute and deliver a letter to the Illinois Training Board containing specific language agreed upon by the parties. As consideration, Plaintiff agreed to dismiss his causes of action against Defendant Village of Washington Park in the above captioned matter upon Defendant's completion of tasks it agreed to perform." (Doc. 46; Count VII, ¶ 7). Woodall alleges that the agreement was made both orally and in writing, that the writings are attached to his First Amended Complaint as Exhibits C & D, and that "Defendant partially performed its end of the contract by executing and forwarding to the Illinois Training Board a letter containing specific language agreed upon by the parties." (Doc. 46; Count VII, ¶ ¶ 8 & 9). Count VII also alleges that Defendant breached the contract by refusing to enter into the consent judgment. (Doc. 46; Count VII, ¶ 10).
II. Motion to Dismiss
Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss is used to test the legal sufficiency of a complaint. Gibson v. City of Chicago, 910 F.2d 1510, 1520 (7th Cir. 1990). In ruling on a motion to dismiss, a court must draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the plaintiff, construe allegations of a complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and accept as true all well-pleaded facts and allegations in the complaint. Bontkowski v. First Nat'l Bank of Cicero, 998 F.2d 459, 461 (7th Cir. 1993); Perkins v. Silverstein, 939 F.2d 463, 466 (7th Cir. 1991). The allegations of a complaint should not be dismissed under this rule unless it is patently clear that the plaintiff cannot prove any set of facts in support of the claim that could entitle him to relief. SeeConley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957). A pleading need only convey enough information that the defendant is able to understand the gravamen of the complaint. Payton v. Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Med. Ctr., 184 F.3d 623, 627 (7th Cir. 1999).
While the court accepts the plaintiff's allegations as true for purposes of a motion to dismiss, "when a written instrument contradicts allegations in a complaint to which it is attached, the exhibit trumps the allegations." Northern Indiana Gun & Outdoor Shows, Inc. v. City of South Bend, 163 F.3d 449, 454 (7th Cir. 1998). Documents attached to the complaint are part of the pleadings and if those documents do not support the allegations, then a plaintiff can effectively plead itself out of court. Thompson v. Illinois Department of Professional Regulation, 300 F.3d 750, 754 (7th Cir. 2002)("[W]here a plaintiff attaches documents and relies upon the documents to form the basis for a claim or part of a claim, dismissal is appropriate if the document negates the claim."); In the Matter of Wade, 969 F.2d 241, 249 (7th Cir. 1992).
Here, Exhibit C (a July 8, 2005 letter from Plaintiff's attorney, Clay B. St. Clair, to then Defendant's attorney, Stephen R. Clark) to the First Amended Complaint reads in part:
"Pursuant to our telephone conversation on June 29, 2005, please be advised that my client would be willing to settle this case against the Village of Washington Park in exchange for the Village's entry into a consent judgment in the amount of $100,000.00 along with execution and delivery of a letter to the Illinois Training Board stating something along the lines of the following: ..."
(Doc. 46; Exhibit C). And Exhibit D (a August 1, 2005 letter from then Defendant's attorney Stephen R. Clark to Plaintiff's attorney Clay B. St. Clair) states:
"Please be advised that my client accepted your settlement offer. We will agree to a claim of $100,000.00, and your client will cast his ballot in favor of approving the plan reorganization. Furthermore, the Village, through chief of police, Isadore Chambers, will mail the letter with the text as was proposed in your settlement letter. Please prepare an order to that effect so that I may electronically file it with the Bankruptcy Court."
(Doc. 46, Exhibit D). Washington Park argues that Plaintiff's Exhibit D referenced his complaint clearly contradicts Plaintiff's allegations that Washington Park agreed that a consent judgment be entered against it and in favor of Plaintiff. Washington Park further argues that Exhibit D contains no language whatsoever that it agreed that a consent judgment be entered against it in any dollar amount. Washington Park also contends that Exhibit D demonstrates that there was not a meeting of the minds of the material terms of the agreement. Washington Park alternatively argues that Exhibit D is nothing more than evidence of a counter offer to the plaintiff's settlement demand reflected in Exhibit C. On the other hand, Plaintiff contends that Washington Park's counsel, Mr. Clark, clearly stated that Washington Park accepted the offer proposed in Exhibit C. The First Amended Complaint alleges an offer of settlement terms to the Defendant and alleges a clear and unequivocal acceptance of Plaintiff's offer and Exhibits C and D fully support these allegations.
Based on the allegations in Count VII of the First Amended Complaint and the documents attached, the Court agrees with Washington Park. The language "and will cast our ballot for the plan of reorganization....." clearly suggests that part of the settlement was the vote (Doc. 46, Exhibit D). The conjunctive and shows an additional condition of the bargain that does not exist in the first communication. The complaint does not allege any other means of communication which conveyed this additional condition of the agreement, instead alleging that the mentioned communications constituted the entire agreement. Thus, the Court finds that there could not be a meeting of the minds and that Exhibit D does contradict the allegations of the First Amended Complaint. The exhibit trumps the allegations in the First Amended Complaint and there was no contract.
III. Conclusion
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Washington Park's motion to dismiss (Doc. 53). The Court DISMISSES with prejudice Count VII of the First Amended Complaint.

Candidate Kucinich gets a blog.
Candidate Kucinich gets a blog. Dennis Kucinich has jumped into the weblog arena, making his own posts and accepting comments. He even has an RSS feed. Kucinich's campaign is drawing the largest crowds of any candidate and is expected to perform well in the MoveOn Primary. Kucinich faces tough opposition from Dean, but his support for military budget cuts and tougher accounting practices set him apart from the other candidates. Studs Terkel says "Kucinich Is the One", and Ralph Nader not only encouraged Kucinich to run, but invited him to speak on the Democracy Rising tour. Will Nader endorse the Kucinich campaign? Can Dennis move the Democratic Party to the left and bring the Greens back into the fold?

Prospecting for Gold Among the Photo Blogs
Photo blogs are the colorful offspring of blogs, or Web logs, written diaries posted and updated regularly on the Internet. For a half-dozen years people have been posting text blogs to rant and to ponder the events of the day and the dust beneath their feet. Then, sometime in 2000, people started posting photographs to go with the text. The photo blog was born. Now photo blogs often are posted with no text at all. And there are thousands of them.--Oolong gets his picture in the New York Times, among other things

Where does one get their authority?
A solid sense of identity. A small but interesting essay that is ostensibly about blogging, but instead really about the core problem of personal identity. "Maintaining a successful blog requires a solid sense of identity. ...A blog's stickiness, or that quality that turns us into its regular readers -- comes not so much from the blog's informative value in content or through the network of links it provides as it comes from the blogger's authority... Teen blogs are boring because what permeates them mostly is a heightened sense of anxiety about one's place in the scheme of things. Having lost that sense of invincibility that comes from being a young adult, the over-forty is thrown in that same breath-choking cold current of doubts that he or she navigated as a teen. That is why a middle-aged woman's blog description of getting a haircut sounds the same as a teenage girl's account of the same event."
None dare call it blogging.
Superseding the mainstream media, or "quirky parasites"? Less of interest here than the IraqFilter context itself - which amounts to the question "Is blogging to Gulf II what TV was to Vietnam and cable was to Gulf I?" - is an established medium caught in the act of visibly sizing up this comer, this new kid on the block, this parvenu we know as "blogging." Is it a valid new medium of reportage, fit to take its place alongside print and broadcast? Or is it merely parasitic, interstitial, even marginal? Inquiring minds want to know. (Note O'Donnell's hedges and his final & bizarrely misplaced condescension: "Maybe Allbritton will start a trend - bloggers no longer dependent on the mainstream for their material." WTF?)

Chuck Hagel and voting machines --- the plot thickens
The Chuck Hagel voting machine ownership story gets even scarier. In today's Best of the Blogs, Jerry Bowles reveals more bizarre details about the Chuck Hagel/voting machine story, including the fact that the majority ownership stake in the voting machine company that counted Senator Hagel's upset victory in 1996 (and his reelection in 2002) is held by a man long associated with the radical organization Christian Reconstruction, which believes in overturning democracy and replacing it with a Christian theocracy.

Early bloggers were presurfing the Web for people, in a sense [sound familiar?]. About 1999, as free software came on the scene -- making it easy to create Web logs -- the content began to shift. Blogs became more personal, less link-driven. But what is a blog to you? And what is the future of the "blogosphere"?

It's his thoughts on the issue that are intriguing though; he's very right about somethings, horribly wrong about others and crazy as hell through out.o

This made me tear up with happiness.
The thing is, he'd do this. Clint Barton would hide in your ducts and say no when asked about it while still in said ducts
Sorry for language but I can see this being Clint, yes.
Ok but I just realized something. Clint says that Quicksilver could die if he just shot the arrow and it would be Clint's fault. Then when he does die it is because he is saving Clint and the kid.
Agent Barton, shield recruitment management <-All solid choices
If you don't love the heck out of Clint, then you are wrong and I don't know what to even tell you.
I immediately thought Clint's but I would not be surprised if it was Bucky's<--I thought it was Clint's but then I read the comment below that and now I'm not so sure

What is the Matter with Polling?
Cliff Zukin | New York Times
June 20, 2015
This article focuses on political polling – and predictions from political polls, but much of the content is relevant to other sorts of telephone-based opinion surveys, many of which are used by social scientists: Survey of Consumers, Pew, Gallup, etc.
The article focuses on (a) the move from landline to cellphones; (b) the growing non-response rate; (c) costs; (d) and sample metrics, e.g., representativeness.
The decline in landline phones makes telephone surveys more expensive since cell phones cannot be reached through automatic dialers. The landline phone vs cellphone distribution comes from the National Health Interview Survey. Here's a recent summary of the data. The article summarizes this as "About 10 years ago. . . . about 6 percent of the public used only cellphones. The N.H.I.S. estimate for the first half of 2014 found that this had grown to 43 percent, with another 17 percent "mostly" using cellphones. In other words, a landline-only sample conducted for the 2014 elections would miss about three-fifths of the American public, almost three times as many as it would have missed in 2008."
The other issue for polling is the growing non-response rate.
When I first started doing telephone surveys in New Jersey in the late 1970s, we considered an 80 percent response rate acceptable, and even then we worried if the 20 percent we missed were different in attitudes and behaviors than the 80 percent we got. Enter answering machines and other technologies. By 1997, Pew's response rate was 36 percent, and the decline has accelerated. By 2014 the response rate had fallen to 8 percent.
Non-response makes surveys more expensive – more numbers to call to find a respondent and many of them dialed by hand if it is a cellphone universe. And, most important, is the representativeness of the sample that the survey ends up with. So far, surveys based on probability samples seem to still be representative, at least based on comparing sample characteristics to gold-standard benchmarks like the American Community Survey (ACS). Participation in the ACS is mandatory, although for the last several years, Republicans in the House have tried to remove this requirement. Canada did away with its mandatory requirements with its census, with disastrous results. The following is a compilation of posts related to the mandatory response requirement in the US and Canada: [Older Posts]
