Politics has converged with sports in the nation's capital as 50 U.S. Senators – all Democrats — signed a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell urging the league to change the Washington Redskins name.
This is welcome news – and a significant development in the national crusade to force Redskins owner Daniel Synder to change the team name that many Native Americans, whites, Hispanics and African-Americans say is racist.
The move by members of the U.S. Senate last week sends a loud and powerful message to Goodell and Synder, especially at a time when the NBA is forcing Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell his team after he made a series of racist remarks directed toward African-Americans.
"Today, we urge you and the National Football League to send the same clear message as the NBA did: that racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports," the letter said. "It's time for the NFL to endorse a name change for the Washington, D.C. football team. "The despicable comments made by Mr. Sterling have opened up a national conversation about race relations. We believe this conversation is an opportunity for the NFL to take action to remove the racial slur from the name of one of its marquee franchises."
This is a big deal. Will the senators force Goodell to take action? Probably not. Will they force Synder to change the name? No, not today. Synder has dug in his heels, vowing to keep the Redskins name. But I do believe that eventually Synder will cave and we will look back years from now and point to the leadership by members of the U.S. Senate as a defining moment in this crusade.
After all, these are not just a group of guys from a sports bar screaming at the NFL, these are prominent, influential and affluent politicians who carry some weight in this town. Not one Republican signed the letter – no surprise there – since the GOP has no modern-day history of speaking out against racism in America.
So far, the NFL has stood behind Snyder and issued its own statement in response to the letter from the senators.
"We have not received the letter, but the NFL has long demonstrated a commitment to progressive leadership on issues of diversity and inclusion, both on and off the field," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement. "The intent of the team's name has always been to present a strong, positive and respectful image. The name is not used by the team or the NFL in any other context, though we respect those that view it differently."
The Oneida Indian Nation, a tribe located in upstate New York, has been pushing for the name change through a national "Change the Mascot" campaign.
"Washington team owner Dan Snyder and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell have claimed that using the R-word epithet somehow honors native peoples, but it is quite the opposite," said Oneida Nation CEO Ray Halbritter, in a statement. "The R-word is a dictionary-defined racial slur."
The letter from members of the U.S. Senate came a year after President Barack Obama also weighed in on the controversy.
"If I were the owner of the team and I knew that the name of my team — even if they've had a storied history — was offending a sizable group of people, I'd think about changing it," Obama told reporters last year.
With his ground-breaking comments, Obama made history once again: He is perhaps the first sitting president to say he would consider changing the Washington Redskins nickname – and his truth could not have come at a better time in the debate.
"All these mascots and team names related to Native Americans, Native Americans feel pretty strongly about it," Obama said. "And I don't know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real, legitimate concerns that people have about these things."
The Washington Redskins nickname is not only offensive – it's racist. Native Americans have argued for years that the name offends them, but Snyder has long refused requests from Native Americans and others to change the name, which originated during the 1930s.
Jackie Pata, the executive director of the American Congress of American Indians, said the NFL is contributing to racism by allowing the Redskins to keep the nickname.
"The NFL is a global brand," Pata said in a statement. "But it wants to contribute to the positive image of the United States across the world rather than callously promoting discrimination against Native Americans, then it must stop promoting this slur and finally change the name."

3 thoughts on "COMMENTARY: 50 Senators Agree – It's Time To Change Redskins Name"
Really? OMG learn some history. It's important to finally disallow the use of a slang word used to incorrectly describe the origins of a race of people not even allowed to play on professional sports teams at that time. A team name should reflect the team itself, not ignorant attitudes of the creators and owners. Back when this team – and others – was created, it was a bunch a racist white boys and Native people were severely hated and mistreated, and are still fighting this day for recognition. Negative imaging is damaging to Native Culture – any culture – and affecting their youth (suicide rates among native youth are the highest in the country). Yes, it's important.
And just why is this important? anybody!!!!!
It's not. What IS important is state senators with so much time on their hands that they have time to play with this silly ass shit. SMDH.

I did make a post on exactly one gay/lesbian thread and the quoted post was aimed at a particularly obnoxious prostitute who has already lost at least two Topix profiles due to over the top posting to my none. And let it be noted That I was not taking her to task for homosexuality. I was taking her to task for prostitution as in man with a woman. Can you even spell heterosexual? I am not on the gay/lesbian forum every day The only reason I was on it was initially to agree that this was a case of an 18 year old illegally targeting a 14 year old and had nothing to do with whether the relationship was gay or no, and then that prostitute I have had words with before started on the post with her vulgar ind vicious rhetoric. Stop lying her. I have spent very little time on that forum lately and you damned well know it. And I did not harass any gays here
Gay/Lesbian Forum "Florida student, 18, criminally charged after lesbian relationship" Liar, this is not from the Gay/Lesbian Forum> Here is the correct forum: Wabasso, FL Florida student, 18, criminally charged after lesbian relationshp
You also cherry picked my comments and by isolating them from the context they were made. They would have looked far less ominous if the posts I responded to were included. You have officially earned the designation of drama queen. Mitt Romney would have been proud of how you used out of context attacks as he did himself often in debates and on the campaign trail. I suppose Obama did much of the same, but Willard better fit the drama queen designation. Just for the record, I voted third party the last election although I thought Obama was the slightly lesser of two grave evils.
Once again, I will try to penetrate that thick lying skull of yours. I have not been harassing gays, contrary to your out of context drama queen presentations of my words. A consistent theme with my posting on Kaitlyn Hunt is that I consider this a child abuse and not a lesbian issue. If a straight guy did this to an underaged girl, I would call for similar prosecution and similar penalties. You disingenuously keep ignoring that. Try to find a thread where I mocked someone for being gay in recent months. Saying I illegally harass gays would be sheer nonsense as everything I have said here falls within free speech guarantees and there is no way I could be prosecuted for any of it contrary to your idiotic rants.

When I first started topix I was bullied by some trolls but didn't know what they were. I almost quit but was helped by some real people.
Since then only one 'person' has been nasty, but he is to a lot of people, so I don't care now. If you disagree with him he puts you down like you are nothing. I just realize that he has a low self-image and needs to try to intimidate others. So I ignore him.

Get all the angst out at once.
I can not believe this goes on for hours, days, months and years on end to no avail. But to be doing something, and not very productive.
I mean....why would anybody.
Just say it, solve it and move on.
How hard is that?
My mother always said, if a body hasn't a nice thing to say...keep one's mouth shut and go find something else to do.

ERIC ANDREW O'DELL, PETITIONER,v.JANICE GALLI MCLEOD, ET AL., RESPONDENTS.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court has reviewed the petition, records on file, and the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge. Further, the Court has engaged in a de novo review of those portions of the Report to which Petitioner has objected. The Court accepts the findings and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge.
In October 2005, Petitioner was sentenced to 25 years to life after pleading guilty to second degree murder with a gun enhancement. (Report at 2.) To avoid the time bar, Petitioner contends he is actually innocent of the crime because he acted in self-defense. (Id. at 5.) According to Petitioner, in March 2009, Petitioner met the cousin of the victim (Victor Escamilla) when Petitioner was incarcerated at Calipatria State Prison. (Objections at 1-2; Report at 5.) Escamilla told Petitioner that the FBI has information that there was another gun "involved at the time of the incident and that Petitioner was defending himself." (Objections at 2.) When the police arrived at the scene of the shooting, they "never found a gun . . . [a]lthough Petitioner was aware that [there] was another gun involved." (Id.) Petitioner alleges "the cops or FBI suppressed this information from Petitioner and his defense." (Id.) Petitioner "has been filing discovery request[s] since that time." (Id.)
On October 1, 2009, an FBI section chief in records responded to Petitioner's FOIA request. (Petitioner Decl. (Dkt. No. 2), Attached.) According to the FBI's letter, the FBI "conducted a search of the indices to our Central Records System at the Sacramento Field Office [and] were unable to identify responsive main file records. If you have additional information pertaining to the subject that you believe was of investigative interest to the Bureau, please provide us the details and we will conduct an additional search." (Id.) On December 14, 2009, Respondent, the Associate Director of the Office of Information Policy of the U.S. Department of Justice, in response to Petitioner's appeal, affirmed the Sacramento Field Office's action. (Id.) She wrote that "in addition to its search of its Sacramento Field Office, the FBI searched all other field offices and its Headquarters Office." (Id.) She "determined that the FBI's response was correct and that it conducted an adequate, reasonable search for records responsive to your request." (Id.)
In his objections, Petitioner again asks for "information about the gun that was ditched at the scene"; "how the information came about [i.e.] a witness at the scene or information that Gustavo Ramirez*fn1 may have later given up to the cops"; "who handled the information once it was received"; and "how it was maintained and why it was not reported to defense at the time or later." (Objections at 3 (brackets in original).) The Magistrate Judge has already properly denied two requests for discovery by Petitioner because he has failed to show good cause for his requests. (Dkt. Nos. 17, 21.)
The Magistrate Judge correctly found that Petitioner had failed to "'demonstrate that more likely than not, in light of . .. new evidence, no reasonable juror would find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.'" (Report at 6 (quoting House v. Bell, 547 U.S. 518, 538, 126 S. Ct. 2064, 165 L. Ed. 2d 1 (2006).) Petitioner's claim that the FBI has information about the shooting "is based on hearsay from an unnamed inmate who is supposedly the victim's cousin." (Report at 6.) The FBI has twice told Petitioner it has no records. Petitioner has not presented any "new reliable evidence" of his alleged innocence. House, 547 U.S. 537.
Petitioner's objections are overruled.
IT IS ORDERED that judgment be entered denying the petition and dismissing this action with prejudice.

1997 Lincoln Town Car ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Last of the traditionalists.
With the recent demise of the Cadillac'sBrougham, the Lincoln Town Car remains as the only rear-drive traditional luxury car made by an American manufacturer. It's also the biggest production car sold in America.
This big cruiser was part of a price realigment strategy at the beginning of the 1997 model year that put the Town Car, Continental and Mark VIII all at the same starting price--$37,950, including $670 destination--a substantial reduction for the other two, a $370 increase for the Town Car. But even with the increase, the Town Car is selling 25% better than last year.
The Town Car competes primarily against the Cadillac DeVille and Concours. It comes in three trim levels--the base Executive Series, the volume Signature Series and the fully loaded, top-of-the-line Cartier ($43,870), for those who don't care to waste time checking option boxes on order forms.
For 1997, some of the standard luxury content that has crept into the Town Car over the past few years has been thrifted out of the car, small items that most of us won't miss because we didn't notice them when we had them (illuminated rear ashtrays, robe cords on the seatbacks, the trunk key cover, an extra power point underneath the dashboard, cellular phone wiring, etc.).
What's new and improved for this year is an entirely new recirculating-ball steering system that is more precise, smother and more durable than the previous system. There's also a more durable cloth used on interior trim. Other than the major system change, the Town Car is as it was last year, which is to say, loaded. The changes were minimal because a substantial redesign is due next fall.
We tested the mid-grade Signature Series version, which starts at $40,310. It comes with power disc brakes with antilock, tilt steering, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, a new AM/FM/ cassette sound system with digital signal processing, a keyless entry/alarm system, six-way power seats with three-position memory and lumbar support, and auxiliary controls on the new steering wheel for audio and climate controls, as well as cruise control.
In addition, our test car had traction assist, the auto-dim mirror, the power JBL sound system, heated seats, leather seating surfaces, and a six-disc CD changer. The bottom line on the window sticker totalled $42,790.
The essence of what you get in a Lincoln Town Car is effortless cruising, easy fingertip operation of every system, hushed mechanical operations, high-end materials, and plenty of that traditional American road-hugging size and weight.
The Signature Series has almost everything you can get on a Town Car, with room left on the option list for just a few more items. The Cartier gets special wheels, larger tires, rear vanity mirrors, a JBL sound system, leather seating, traction assist and heated seats, most of which our test car had as options anyway.
If there is a single attribute that places the Town Car above the rest of the cars in this class, it is sheer interior spaciousness. The Town Car's interior is simply huge.
The instrument panel uses blue-green electronic digital readouts for all of the instrumentation, which are somewhat incongruous in a car like this, but they are large, easy to read and not cramped together. The main display is recessed and hooded so that sunlight never obscures the information, and some of the lenses have been changed to reduce reflection and glare on 1997 models.
We should all be more concerned about automotive seats than we are, and the Lincoln designers have addressed some of our concerns by giving us orthopedic equipment masquerading as lounge chairs. While they don't look even remotely sporty, and they won't hold you in place in a hard corner, the Town Car seats have more adjustment techniques than a chiropractor, with long tracks, front and rear tilt, and power recline, not to mention a five-zone heating system. We found the seats enormously comfortable and supportive, and we thank the designers for finally removing the embossed Lincoln star from the seatback, where it was neither luxurious nor necessary.
Five-star seats coupled with generous head, hip, leg and shoulder room make the Town Car interior ideal for two couples living together, and the 22.3 cubic-foot trunk leads the industry in width, depth, breadth and utility. The electrically-operated trunk lid goes all the way down to bumper level, and is easy to load and unload. Our only criticism here is the trunklid itself, which should open a little more toward the vertical.
Driving Impression
Like many luxury cars these days, the Lincoln Town Car has a single powertrain combination, a 4.6-liter single overhead cam V8 that makes an adequate 190 horsepower (210 in the dual-exhaust Cartier version) and a useful 265 pound-feet of torque (275 for the Cartier), coupled to an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. While these engines are adequate for the need of most Town Car customers, even those who tow light trailers, they are not a competitive match for the powertrain sophistication found in the Cadillac Northstar engine--275 or 300 hp--or most of the import entries in this class.
Ford's corporate 4.6-liter V8 is a smooth, quiet and economical engine and has an enviable record in terms of durability, but this two-ton car really should be using the 290-hp version from the Mark VIII or the 255-hp version from the front-drive Continental.
Ford's corporate product planners undoubtedly rationalize the Town Car's engine in terms of fuel economy, and the car does escape the gas-guzzler penalty. But even so, it could use more muscle.
Engine quibbles aside, the Town Car covers ground quietly, almost serenely, when it is in its element, tooling about town or cruising the highway. A new intake manifold takes induction noise down to the lowest level yet, and the four-speed automatic is quiet and efficient. Steering effort can be adjusted by a sliding-bar switch on the left side of the dashboard, although effort does not equate with road feel.
The Michelin XW4 tires, coil spring/air suspension and gas-filled shock absorbers do an outstanding job of separating a Town Car's occupants from the lumpy realties of the outside world, coping admirably with potholes and broken pavement. The P215/75R-15 tires are quiet, though we would prefer more rubber on the ground, such as the optional P225/60R-16 all-weather tires, even if there were a slight noise penalty to pay.
There is lots of lean and wallow in the Town Car's luxurious ride, and the speed-sensitive power steering is numb on-center, these factors combine to make this car unhandy on winding two-lane roads, but quite stable and comfortable on interstates and boulevards.
The ABS brakes were authoritative in their power and especially quiet when the antilock circuits were active, emitting only a mild, high-pitched buzz when we encountered icy pavement.
This is the seventh and final model year for the current Lincoln Town Car, and we think they have got it about right by now. We looked all over the car for loose threads, body panel misalignments, poor sealing and less-than-luxurious materials, and we came away impressed. There were some things in the trunk area that could use improvement in terms of materials, fit and finish for a $43,000 car, but the body fits and interior quality were the best we have ever seen on a Town Car of any vintage.
Unlike many of its competitors, the Town Car is not a treasure trove of leading edge technology. It doesn't offer the front-drive traction or the electronic chassis sophistication of the Cadillacs, the security of the Lincoln RESCU system used in the Continental, or the handling of the import sedans.
But for the traditional American luxury car customer who treasures lots of space and quiet operation--a category that includes tens of thousands of unswerving Town Car loyalists--it's still a favorite.

United States District Court, Third Circuit
December 6, 2013
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.$144, 650 IN UNITED STATES CURRENCY Defendant in rem.
ESTHER SALAS, District Judge.
I. Introduction
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff the United States of America's motion to strike the answer of would-be claimant Bradford Lee Carper and motion to enter default judgment pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. A(1)(B), A(2), G(8)(c) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a). (D.E. No. 6).
The Court has considered the parties' submissions in support of and in opposition to the instant motion, and decides the matter without oral argument pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 78(b). For the reasons set forth below, this Court GRANTS the motion to strike the answer and construes the motion for entry of default judgment as a motion for entry of default. Thus, the Court will direct the Clerk to enter default against would-be claimant Carper.
II. Jurisdiction
This Court has jurisdiction over this action commenced by the United States of America pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1345 and 28 U.S.C. § 1355(a). This Court has in rem jurisdiction over the Defendant Currency under 28 U.S.C. § 1355(b)(1).
III. Factual Background and Procedural History[1]
Plaintiff United States of America ("Plaintiff") brings this action to forfeit and condemn a total of $144, 650 in United States currency ("Defendant Currency") pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(6). Would-be claimant, Bradford Lee Carper ("Carper" or "Claimant") contests the forfeiture of this asset.
On or about April 12, 2012, at approximately 5:15 p.m., Transportation and Security Officers at Newark Liberty International Airport contacted agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") and advised them that they had recovered a large sum of United States currency from a passenger traveling to Los Angeles, California. (D.E. No. 1, Complaint ("Compl.") ¶ 7). The DEA agents requested identification and received a California driver's license in the name of "Brad Lee Carper" whose address was 3132 H. Street, Sacramento, California. ( Id. ¶ 8). Plaintiff alleges that Carper told the DEA agents that he was an investor and that he was trying to buy depressed real estate in the Syracuse area. ( Id. ¶ 10). When questioned as to how much money he had in his possession, he responded that he had around $150, 000 but was unsure of the exact amount. ( Id. ¶ 11). The DEA agent asked to see the Defendant Currency, to which Carper agreed, and the agent observed six bundles of cash composed of mixed denominations, bound by a rubber band. ( Id. ¶ 18). At that time, the agent asked if he could request a canine check to which Carper allegedly agreed to. ( Id. ).
At approximately, 5:55 p.m. police officers arrived with a narcotics canine and the narcotics canine alerted law enforcement to the presence of narcotics in the bag containing the Defendant Currency. ( Id. ¶ 19). The agents informed Carper that the Defendant Currency was going to be seized by the DEA. ( Id. ¶ 33). The agents then placed the $144, 650 in United States currency in the DEA's possession at Newark Liberty International Airport, Elizabeth, New Jersey. ( Id. ¶ 2). The Defendant Currency is currently in the custody of the U.S. Marshal's service. ( Id. ).
On September 12, 2012, within the 90 day period prescribed by 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(3)(A), the U.S. filed a Verified Complaint for Forfeiture In Rem and Warrant for Arrest In Rem. (D.E. No. 1). Plaintiff filed the Notice of Forfeiture on September 19, 2012, stating that a claimant is required to file and serve a conforming claim on or before October 24, 2012. (D.E. No. 3). Plaintiff mailed the Notice of Forfeiture on September 19, 2012 to Mr. Gerald M. Saluti, Esq., in his capacity as agent for Claimant, by certified mail, return receipt requested and Mr. Saluti received the notice on September 20, 2012. (D.E. No. 11, Pl. Rep. Br., Ex. A, Transmittal Letter & Return Receipt).
On November 21, 2012, Claimant filed with this Court and served upon the Plaintiff a filing entitled "Verified Claim and Answer." (D.E. No. 5, Verified Claim and Answer Request for Jury Trial ("Claim")). Plaintiff then filed the instant motion to strike the answer of Claimant and for the entry of default judgment. (D.E. No. 1).
IV. Analysis
Plaintiff moves to strike Claimant's Answer pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(8)(c)(i) and for entry of default judgment. Rule G allows the Plaintiff to "move to strike a claim or answer for: failure to comply with Rule G(5)... or (B) because the claimant lacks standing." Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(8)(c)(i).
To establish standing in a forfeiture action, a potential claimant must meet both Article III and statutory standing.[2] "Statutory standing is a threshold issue that determines whether a party is properly before the court." United States v. $8, 221, 877.16 in U.S. Currency, 330 F.3d 141, 150 n.9 (3d Cir. 2003). To establish statutory standing in a forfeiture case, the claimant must comply with the procedural requirements set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 983(a)(4)(A) and Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(5). Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(5)(a)(i) states the requirements that must be included in a claim, while Rule G(5)(a)(ii) provides a deadline for filing a claim.
Here, Plaintiff argues that the Court should strike Claimant's answer because it is deficient under Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(5) for three reasons: (1) Claimant's submissions are untimely; (2) the claim and answer were filed as a single document; and (3) Claimant improperly filed using an electronic signature. The Court addresses each argument in turn.
The parties disagree about two issues with respect to timeliness: (1) the appropriate deadline; and (2) whether the Court should grant leniency for missing the deadline.
i. The appropriate statutory deadline.
Plaintiff argues potential claimants who have been sent direct notice have 35 days to respond. (Pl. Br. at 1, 3-4, 9-11); (D.E. No. 11, Reply Brief in Support of Plaintiff's Motion, ("Pl. Rep. Br.") at 1). Claimant argues that the deadline for published notice grants 60 days for unknown potential claimants to respond. (D.E. No. 7, Opposition of Claimant Bradford Lee Carper to the Government's Motion, ("Cl. Opp.") at 6).
Publication is not required as long as direct notice is sent to all known potential claimants. Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(5)(c). Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(5)(a) states that a claim must be filed by the time stated in a direct notice sent as required under Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(4)(b) to known potential claimants. Furthermore, Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(4)(b)(ii)(B) provides that such time to file a claim must not be less than 35 days after notice is sent.
Here, Claimant is clearly a known potential claimant because he identified himself to the authorities at Newark Airport and the Defendant Currency was seized from him. (Compl. ¶¶ 2, 8). Furthermore, the U.S. Attorney sent notice on September 19, 2012. (Pl. Rep. Br., Ex. A). Claimant, as a known potential claimant, had 35 days from the date when the U.S. Attorney sent him notice to respond. Thus, the Court finds that Plaintiff's proffered deadline of October 24, 2012 is the appropriate standard to apply.
ii. Whether the Court should grant leniency for late filing.
Plaintiff argues that because Claimant filed late, he lacks statutory standing. (Pl. Br. at 1, 3-4, 9-11). Claimant argues that even though he filed late, he should be accorded statutory standing because Hurricane Sandy-related electronic court filing service outages affected his ability to electronically file documents. (Cl. Opp. at 6-7).
Of the various requirements for statutory standing, the Third Circuit has held that "[t]he most significant requirement is that the claimant must file a verified [claim]" adhering to the requirements of the Rule. United States v. $487, 825.000 in U.S. Currency, 484 F.3d 662, 664 (3d Cir. 2007). The verified claim requirement promotes two important purposes. First, it forces potential claimants to come forth in a timely fashion so that the court may hear all interests and resolve the matter without undue delay, and second, it guards against false claims by requiring claims to be verified. Id. at 664-65 (emphasis added). "For these reasons, the requirement is no mere procedural technicality.'" Id. at 665 (quoting United States v. $23, 000 in U.S. Currency, 356 F.3d 157, 163 (1st Cir. 2004)). Thus, the Third Circuit has stated that district courts should require forfeiture claimants to " strictly adhere to the filing requirements."[3] Id. (emphasis added).
Here, Plaintiff sent direct notice on September 19, 2012 to Mr. Gerald M. Saluti, Esq., in his capacity as an agent of Claimant by certified mail. (D.E. No. 11, Pl. Rep. Br., Ex. A, Transmittal Letter & Return Receipt). The notice indicated a filing deadline of October 24, 2012. ( Id. ). Claimant filed his claim and answer on November 21, 2012. (D.E. No. 4). Thus, Claimant did not timely file a claim. By not timely filing, Claimant has not strictly adhered to the appropriate rules for filing a claim. Since he has not adhered to the appropriate rules for filing a claim, he lacks statutory standing. Thus, the Court holds that Claimant lacks statutory standing.
While this determination renders further inquiry unnecessary, the Court addresses the other issues raised by the parties for the sake of thoroughness.
Plaintiff argues that Claimant's filing is deficient because it combines both a claim and answer as a single document. (Pl. Br. at 11). Claimant argues that his filing is sufficient because it is permissible to file a claim and answer as a single document. (Cl. Opp. at 3, 6).
An answer alone may not substitute for a verified claim because both must be filed. United States v. $140, 000 in United States Currency, No. 09-3516, 2010 WL 1704966, at *3 (D.N.J. Apr. 26, 2010). However, Fed.R.Civ.P. Supp. G(5) does not state that the answer and verified claim must be separated into two different documents. Thus, the Court holds that Claimant's filing was not deficient even though it combined the claim and answer as a single document because each was clearly labeled.
Plaintiff argues that Claimant's filing is deficient because Claimant violated L. Civ. R. 5.2(12)(b) by improperly using an electronic signature. (Pl. Br. at 12). Claimant argues that his filing is sufficient because it contains a sworn statement. (Cl. Opp. at 3).
Fed. R. Civ. P. Supp. G(5)(a)(i)(C) requires a claimant's signature under penalty of perjury. Additionally, under Local Rule 5.2(12)(b), a document requiring the signature of a non-attorney "must be filed electronically by: (1) submitting a scanned document containing the necessary signature; or (2) in any other manner approved by the Court." L.Civ.R. 5.2.
Here, Claimant utilized the electronic signature, "s/ Brandon Lee Carper, " (D.E. No. 5), in violation of Local Rule 5.2 because Claimant is a non-attorney who must personally sign the document. Therefore, the Court finds that Claimant failed to properly sign the claim.
Plaintiff's motion for default judgment is premature, thus the Court construes it as a motion for entry of default. Fed.R.Civ.P. 55 requires entry of a default by the Clerk before a default judgment may be granted. The Court concludes that Plaintiff is entitled to an entry of default pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a). The Court therefore will direct the Clerk of the Court to enter a default against the Defendant Currency. Once default has been entered, Plaintiff may file a motion for default judgment.
V. Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion to strike Claimant's answer and construes Plaintiff's motion to also request entry of default. The Court directs the Clerk to enter default against Defendant Currency.

Typically ranging from 20W – 300W, a portable PA system is ideally suited to applications such as conferences, sporting events, public speaking, dance classes, field events, and literally anything else that requires a simple, integrated PA solution for use on the move. The range of features on offer in modern portable PA systems offers great versatility, with inbuilt rechargable batteries, wireless microphones, CD players, MP3 players all common on many PA systems. This leaves many first time buyers wondering what to choose – as with any PA system, the key is to ensure it has appropriate features and power for the planned use.
Smaller portable PA systems up to 50W, such as the Pulse Megamouth are primarily designed for speech and close range music / multimedia playback, and will struggle to cope with loud (i.e. disco level) music or live instruments. Larger all-in-one systems between 50W and 100W, such as the QTX QR PA series, use larger speakers and cabinets for a fuller, richer tone as well as additional power, and will cope admirably with parties, solo gigs, zumba classes, and other occasions that require a bit more audio muscle.

The LSM kernel patch moves most of the existing POSIX.1e capabilities
logic into an optional security module stored in the file
security/capability.c. This change allows
users who do not want to use capabilities to omit this code entirely
from their kernel, instead using the dummy module for traditional
superuser logic or any other module that they desire. This change
also allows the developers of the capabilities logic to maintain and
enhance their code more freely, without needing to integrate patches
back into the base kernel.
In addition to moving the capabilities logic, the LSM kernel patch could move the capability-related fields from the kernel data structures into the new security fields managed by the security modules. However, at present, the LSM kernel patch leaves the capability fields in the kernel data structures. In his original remarks, Linus suggested that this might be preferable so that other security modules can be easily stacked with the capabilities module without needing to chain multiple security structures on the security field. It also avoids imposing extra overhead on the capabilities module to manage the security fields. However, the LSM framework could certainly support such a move if it is determined to be desirable, with only a few additional changes described below.
At present, the capabilities logic for computing process capabilities
execve and
checking capabilities for a particular process, saving and checking
capabilities for netlink messages, and handling the
capget and
capset system
calls have been moved into the capabilities module. There are still a
few locations in the base kernel where capability-related fields are
directly examined or modified, but the current version of the LSM
patch does allow a security module to completely replace the
assignment and testing of capabilities. These few locations would
need to be changed if the capability-related fields were moved into
the security field. The following is a list of known locations that
still perform such direct examination or modification of
capability-related fields:

This month's box got it's name from the popular Chelsea Piers right on the edge of NYC. This area is definitely a hot spot once the warmer weather rolls in. All the boats are docked by the piers, really setting the vibe for our nautical theme.
Also: We introduced our first ever box design and wanted to really get creative with it.
The Chelsea box is classy, fun, and extremely functional. We wanted to make sure you have everything you need to hang out and enjoy the nice spring weather.
You can't have a nautical themed box without some anchors, right? These gorgeous anchor ties by Weekend Casual are perfect to wear at work or any upcoming summer weddings.
It's been a while since we have done a pocket square, so we made this one double-sided for double the combos. This SPREZZA pocket square was designed as part of our Wall St. collection to tie into our "wear to work" theme. One side has a fun 'hashtag' pattern, while the other side has a clean, multicolored pattern. Business in the front, party in the back!
Paul Evans is known for making beautiful shoes and Sprezza is known for making awesome socks. So we figured it would be a good idea to collaborate.
Unfortunately, we couldn't fit shoes into the box, so we did what we know best. With a little help from our design team, these thick stripe socks were made with love from our friends at Paul Evans for their first ever sock run.
Had a long week? We added a handy corkscrew/bottle opener to help you crack pop open a nice cold glass of whatever you are drinking. The wine pourer & stopper makes it easy to have a mess-free drink and gives you a chance to save the rest for later. Oh and the coasters? They are perfect for keeping your tables 'ring' free. You're welcome.

It's About Time For Men To Use Facial Masks
If you admire the beauty of Korean women, who look as if they were frozen in time of their youth, you should see their men. What's so special about Korean men? Well, there are no "metrosexuals" in the Western sense, if that's what you thought. However, Asian men, and especially the ones living in Korea, are surprisingly open minded, and with no prejudices, whatsoever. They eagerly embrace beauty skin care products and solutions, with no hesitations, almost on equal terms with Korean women. It also may come as a surprise for you to hear that Korean men spend almost as much as Korean women for their cosmetic little "helpers".
Behind The Mask Of The Korean Facial Masks For Men
Among the thousands and thousands of numerous, highly effective and very affordable Korean skin care beauty products, facial masks definitely deserve a special place for both women and men. In the recent years, Korean facial masks for men have literally exploded in terms of popularity all over the world. If you haven't joined the army of men, who take care about the way they look, it's about time for you to try some of this fabulous masks first-hand. You may ask us, what could you possibly gain as a man from a product, which is originally, but not entirely, intended for women?
Well, first of all, there's nothing wrong with your question. The golden rule for any cosmetic industry is that you've every right to inform yourself thoroughly about any product you're about to apply to your skin. Facial skin masks are definitely not an exception from it. Even if you're a man, who certainly cares about his masculine image, you can certainly appreciate the refreshing effects of facial masks. They're easy to use and with the proven list of benefits, which can make you feel better and fresh, especially during the long and busy working hours. On the other hand, the Mother Nature simply doesn't care if you're a woman or a man, when it comes to traitorous signs of aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin. We're all equally affected by these annoying problems, regardless of our sexes or races. No one is going to ask you, what you have used to look younger and healthier. At the end of the day, all what matters is how you look and feel. Right?
We're done talking. It's about time for men to use facial masks.

The number of active IFAs more than halved to 20,000 from at least 50,000 in August 2009, when SEBI scrapped entry-load that rattled the then MF industry. Reliance Capital AMC CEO Sundeep Sikka said, "We are sure that new investors will start coming back if distributors are incentivised to reach out to new customers, especially in smaller towns"
Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) recent decision to allow one-time transaction fee on mutual fund schemes augurs well for the Rs7.43 lakh-crore asset management industry which is grappling with the sagging fund inflows after entry-load was scrapped in 2009, reports PTI.
"Advisory fee along with a transaction fee of Rs100-Rs150 is very positive move. This would at least ensure that the distributor is not incurring losses. The very fact that SEBI has taken care of the transaction fee itself is good enough for the moment. I am very excited as the step is in the right direction. This move will especially benefit the agents," Reliance Capital Asset Management CEO Sundeep Sikka told PTI.
Edelweiss Asset Management CEO Vikaas Sachdeva, however, was guarded in his reply over the move.
"I foresee this as a precursor of much better things to come. The initiative will find its feet only over a period of time," he said, adding that an initiative like this reflects SEBI's openness to work with the industry to sort out issues dragging growth, one step at a time.
Mr Sikka is more optimistic. "We are sure that new investors will start coming back if distributors are incentivised to reach out to new customers, especially in smaller towns. This is a win-win situation for everyone. The online channel will pick up and sales of systematic investment plans (SIPs) will definitely go up further," he said.
The number of active independent financial advisors (IFAs) more than halved to 20,000 from at least 50,000 in August 2009, when the markets watchdog scrapped entry-load that rattled the then vibrant industry.
Since August 2009, when SEBI banned entry load, the domestic mutual fund (MF) industry has been bleeding. According to the industry association Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), June saw an outflow ofRs 66,442 crore from the industry, a steep jump from Rs48,850 crore that flowed out of the industry the previous month.
"I am a great advocate and believe that the potential of this industry for transforming the economy of remote corner of the country," SEBI chairman UK Sinha had said.
Sentiments remained bullish as gold climbed in global markets following turmoil in financial markets on concern that the US economic recovery faltering, boosting the demand for the metal as a protection of wealth
New Delhi: Gold prices zoomed to yet another record of Rs24,770 per 10 grams by adding Rs420 in the national capital today on frantic buying by stockists and investors, driven by a firming trend overseas, reports PTI.
On the other hand silver held steady at Rs 58,600 per kg on reduced offtake at prevailing high levels.
Sentiments remained bullish as gold climbed $14.60 $USD 1,663.40 an ounce in global markets following turmoil in financial markets on concern that the US economic recovery faltering and the European sovereign-debt concern, boosting the demand for the metal as a protection of wealth.
Besides, emergence of buying by retailers for the ongoing festival season amid shifting of investor's fund from melting equities to surging bullion further influenced the market.
On the domestic front, gold of 99.9% and 99.5% purity jumped by Rs420 each to an all-time high of Rs24,770 and Rs24,650 per 10 grams, respectively.
Sovereigns followed suit and shot up by Rs300 to a new peak of Rs19,600 per piece of eight grams.
Meanwhile, silver ready held steady at Rs58,600 per kg, while weekly-based delivery fell by Rs420 to Rs58,375 per kg on profit-booking by speculators.
Silver coins remained in demand due to the festive season and gained Rs500 to Rs64,000 for buying and Rs64,500 for selling of 10 pieces.
The panic that has been set off will build up the pressure on the market and could result in the Nifty going down to 4,800 levels eventually
This week, US politicians reached a deal to raise the debt ceiling and save the country from defaulting on its fiscal obligations, shifting the focus to expenditure cuts that could see a slowdown in the world's biggest economy. The likely impact on other economies together with European debt concerns that now threaten to engulf Italy and Spain rocked stock markets globally, cutting off more than 5% in the Indian markets this week. This is the biggest weekly decline in the domestic market since October 2010.
The week began with small gains on Monday following news of the US debt deal. Mixed domestic indicators led the market lower the next day and weaker-than-expected results by DLF and Bharti Airtel put the indices under pressure again on Wednesday. While the market opened firm on Thursday, higher food inflation data pulled it down by the close.
The rout in the US and European markets on Thursday dragged the Asian markets sharply lower on Friday and India was among the major losers, losing more than 2%. On a weekly basis, the Sensex tumbled 891 points to settle at 17,306 and the Nifty declined 271 points to 5,211.
The market is likely to remain down for a few days before there is a short rally. For the uptrend to continue, it is essential that the Nifty closes above the 5,400 level.
Late on Friday, Standard & Poor's downgraded the US government's sovereign credit rating by a notch from 'AAA' to 'AA+'-an unprecedented move that will hurt investment sentiment even harder. However, S&P affirmed the 'A-1+' short-term rating.
All sectoral gauges ended lower, and the BSE Realty and BSE Metal indices both tanked by 7%, while BSE Oil & Gas and BSE PSU each lost 2%.
The only gainer on the Sensex this week was ONGC (up 3%). The top losers were Sterlite Industries (down 11%), Reliance Communications, DLF, Mahindra & Mahindra and Jaiprakash Industries (all down 9%).
BPCL (up 7%), ONGC (up 3%) and Cipla (up 1%) were this week's gainers on the Nifty. Reliance Capital (down 14%), Sterlite Industries (down 11%), Sesa Goa, RCom (down 10% each) and M&M (down 9%) were the major losses.
Food inflation climbed up again to 8.04% for the week ended 23rd July, from a 20-month low of 7.33% in the previous week. The rise was mainly due to higher prices of onions, fruits and milk.
Also this week, the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council lowered its growth forecast for the current fiscal to 8.2%, below the government's target of 8.5%. It projected headline inflation to remain a high 9% till October, saying it expects price pressure to start easing from November, to around 6.5% by March 2012. The Council stated that while pressure from food inflation had fallen recently, the rate of price rice still remained quite high with the possibility of a further surge in the coming months.

I love this product! Buying already 4th time
The best cream I have ever tried on my dry sensitive skin. It smoothens and moisturized the skin deeply, I use it in the mornings and every night before going to bed. Will definitely purchase again! The only thing I don't like is the tube, I'd rather have my cream in a little jar.
Good for Sensitive Skin
This is the best moisturizer for sensitive skin. It not only moisturizes but calms the skin as well.
My dermatologist recommended this to me the last time I saw her. After using the recovery cream for more than a week, I see a big change in my skin. I will be ordering soon. Really love this product.
Good moisturizer and helps sensitive skin
I have sensitive skin with a red undertone complexion. I went to a Medical Aesthetician who recommended using only this Avene Skin Recovery Cream for my moisturizer morning and night. It has worked beautifully to remove any red undertones I have. I use the Avene Antirougeurs Anti-Redness Dermo-Cleansing Milky Fluid first then spray my face with the Avene Thermal Spring Water and end with this Recovery Cream. All three help keep my complexion free of any redness and help it to become smooth and soft. Avene is the only brand the aesthetician recommends for sensitive skin.
Clogged my skin
This is a nice, basic moisturizer that never irritates my sensitive skin and even helps heal spots of dermatitis. There is just one problem: to my disappointment, it also clogs my pores.
lightweight moisturizer
This is a very light moisturizer that keeps my dry skin feeling very comfortable even during the winter! It has minimal ingredients and no smell which is a big plus for sensitive skin. Highly recommend!
