Even if the Downing Street Memos never came to light or turn out to be fake (although I don't believe they are because if they were Bush and Blair would come out IMMEDIATELY and deny their validaty)the fact that Bush sent us to war on the BASIS that HE SAID HE KNEW they had WMD and now WE ALL KNOW for CERTAIN that
THEY DIDN'T HAVE WMD is JUST CAUSE for an INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION into WHY we did go to war and WHO should be held ACCOUNTABLE for getting us involved in an UNNECCESARY WAR!
This puppet of the Neocons who was remade in the image of a caring individual had this to say about his foreign policy in a debate to get elected the first time.
BUSH: Well, obviously we wouldn't use the Russians if they didn't agree with our answer, Mr. Vice President.
GORE: Well, they don't.
BUSH: But let me say this to you: I wouldn't use force. I wouldn't use force.
LEHRER: You wouldn't use force?
BUSH: No.
LEHRER: Why not?
BUSH: Because it's not in our national interest to use force in this case. I would keep pressure. I would use diplomacy.
LEHRER: New question.
How would you go about, as president, deciding when it was in the national interest to use U.S. force? Generally.
BUSH: Well, if it's in our vital national interests. And that means whether or not our territory -- our territory is threatened, our people could be harmed, whether or not our alliances -- our defense alliances are threatened, whether or not our friends in the Middle East are threatened. That would be a time to seriously consider the use of force.
Secondly, whether or not the mission was clear, whether or not it was a clear understanding as to what the mission would be.
Thirdly, whether or not we were prepared and trained to win, whether or not our forces were of high morale and high standing and well-equipped.
And finally, whether or not there was an exit strategy.
I would take the use of force very seriously. I would be guarded in my approach. I don't think we can be all things to all people in the world. I think we've got to be very careful when we commit our troops.
The vice president and I have a disagreement about the use of troops. He believes in nation-building. I would be very careful about using our troops as nation builders.
BUSH: I believe the role of the military is to fight and win war and, therefore, prevent war from happening in the first place.
And so I take my responsibility seriously. And it starts with making sure we rebuild our military power.
The other day, I was honored to be flanked by Colin Powell and General Norman Schwarzkopf, who stood by my side and agreed with me.
BUSH: They said we could, even though we're the strongest military, that if we don't do something quickly, we don't have a clearer vision of the military, if we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I'm going to prevent that. I'm going to rebuild our military power. It's one of the major priorities of my administration.
BUSH: Well, I think — it's hard to tell. I think that, you know, I would hope to be able to convince people I could handle the Iraqi situation better. I mean, we don't …
LEHRER: Saddam Hussein, you mean?
BUSH: Yes.
LEHRER: You could get him out of there?
BUSH: I'd like to, of course. And I presume this administration would as well. But we don't know. There's no inspectors now in Iraq. The coalition that was in place isn't as strong as it used to be.
He is a danger.
We don't want him fishing in troubled waters in the Middle East. And it's going to be hard to — it's going to be important to rebuild that coalition to keep the pressure on him.
LEHRER: Do you feel that is a failure of the Clinton administration?
BUSH: I do.
It's important to be friends with people when you don't need each other so that when you do, there's a strong bond of friendship. And that's going to be particularly important in dealing not only with situations such as now occurring in Israel, but with Saddam Hussein.
The coalition against Saddam has fallen apart or it's unraveling, let's put it that way. The sanctions are being violated. We don't know whether he's developing weapons of mass destruction. He'd better not be or there's going to be a consequence, should I be the president.
But it's important to have credibility and credibility is formed by being strong with your friends and resoluting your determination. It's one of the reasons why I think it's important for this nation to develop an anti-ballistic missile system that we can share with our allies in the Middle East, if need be, to keep the peace; to be able to say to the Saddam Husseins of the world or the Iranians, "Don't dare threaten our friends."
It's also important to keep strong ties in the Middle East, credible ties, because of the energy crisis we're now in. After all, a lot of the energy is produced from the Middle East.
Bush keeps lying troops keep dying.
(A 20 year US Army Veteran).
George W. Bush et al are an oil and gas exploration and developement consortium from Texas, Saudi Arabia, and Washington D.C., cloaked in deception, wrapped in politics, and housed in an enigma of political spin. Under cover of war, the revolving doors of subversion are the entrance to this Bush Administration, Iran/Contra style.
Continued subversion of US democratic institutions and the politicizing of command of the US military in war, murder, and mayhem, are the results of this Bush Administration.
The obfuscation, the complicit obstruction of justice regarding the investigations of the events of September 11, 2001, the very possible complicit obstruction of civil air defense mechanisms, from within this Administration, the continued silence regarding Downing Street Memo's, the blur of accountability emanating from within the Oval Office, must be addressed.
Ethical Responsibility: The Evidence Against the Administration's War & Ongoing Policies
Dear Governmental and Media Representatives;
I want to thank those of you who have recently taken courageous stands to examine the horribly misguided and/or possibly illegal activities of the current administration. These policies have led to the deaths of our American military, thousands of wounded and many, many more left with significant mental health disorders and many Iraqi losses including women and children.
It has been clearly documented that this administration had intended to invade Iraq well before 9/11. Please see the Wolfowitz Plan as reported by the Project for the New American Century in 1998, and in 1997 the Weekly Standard published "Saddam Must Go: A How-To Guide.
It does seem compelling to look at the "Wolfowitz" plan from 1998 and wonder how anyone can doubt that these articles with the"Downing Street" memos support that deception was and is still being used by the current administration as recent as in the Presidents recent TV address.
What more is needed?
Where is the media? Where is the outcry and the investigations?
What about American and our representatives ethics?
Before more die or a new outrageous justice is selected, let's get the lies out and the military home. Bring them back gradually. Have International advisors monitor the withdrawal and assist with security. We broke Iraq and need to pay for its repair but not by killing them or our military.
Dear Sir:
You are a journalist and you have a duty before us. If you avoid or put off getting involved in looking for the truth behind the Downing Street memos, each life wasted in this war will be on your conscience.
Expecting your answer,
Alfredo M. Bravo de Rueda E.
Please ask yourself why you became a journalist. Was it to make money or hold prestige? Did you become a journalist for the sex appeal? Or did you become a journalist to inform the public, knowing it is a BIG cornerstone of a lasting democracy. Perhaps at one time you can recall, I don't know a civics lesson or something, where it is written that an informed public is absolutely essential to a healthy Democracy. Don't you think its time to open up this monumental story for all the public to judge? I beg you for the Nation's sake to do more to give the public a truer, purer news product starting (and not ending) with a complete breakdown and expose of the Downing Street Memo's.
If I am any indicator of trends, then my complete refusal for almost a year now to watch or read or listen to any "mainstream


text: Chapter 6: Analysis Across Utterances and by Communication Event Harold A. Johnson Michigan State University "Traditional analysis has focused exclusively on the utterance or sentence as the unit of analysis." p. 146 Actually on what the student said, not what was said to them. 100-200 utterances transcribed Transcription limited to verbal, vs. visual and/or motorical behavior Focus upon the correctness of utterances via "normal" developmental progression "To analyze language only at the utterance level is to miss many of a child's language skills, especially those aspects that govern cohesion and conversational manipulation." p. 146 i.e., focus upon language form/performance, vs. function/competence H. Johnson/MSU 2 p. 146, Table 6.1 "Types of Analysis Beyond the Utterance" Across Utterances and Partners By Communication Event This is what we are doing via the Observational Studies H. Johnson/MSU 3 Across Utterances and Partners Stylistic Variations By age 4 children begin to vary their language when communicating with younger, less linguistically advanced, children Register Shits How you alter your language depending on the context, i.e., place, person, topic, task, modality, language You do this to enhance your communicative effectiveness H. Johnson/MSU 4 Register Shifts (cont.) Children with language difficulties often fail to make expected register shifts, either because they do not know when, or how such shifts should be made As a result these children often: Provide insufficient information, or reasons to/for the individual they are communicating with Interject inappropriate language, statements, questions Fair to alter their language based on the feedback, i.e., communication breakdowns, of their conversational partners H. Johnson/MSU 5 Interlanguage & Code Switching Occurs when individuals make errors in switching between two languages Usually problems cease as individual gains additional experience, assuming they are provided with sufficient feedback i.e., students learning what are the expected patterns of behavior and language use in L2 vs. L1 H. Johnson/MSU 6 Channel Availability Refers to the fact that the less information you have available to you during an interaction, the more likely you are to experience communication breakdowns Within our conversational model, these channels are visual, motorical and verbal Note: each culture/language has its own unique patterns of beh. H. Johnson/MSU 7 Referential Communication "Referential communication is the ability of a speaker to select and verbally identify the attributes of an entity in such a way that the listener can identify the entity accurately." (p. 148) i.e., to describe 'x' in a way that 'y' can understand Presuppositional Skills This is how well the speaker/signer understands and then uses that understanding, to interact with the listener/"looker" in a way that they can understand This use of this principle can be represented by the Grician Principles Quality…… = truthful Quantity…. = as much as necessary and no more Relevance. = pertinent to the conversation Manner…. . = in a way that can be understood H. Johnson/MSU 8 Presuppositional Skills (cont.) "From early on, informativeness is a characteristic of communication. Even toddlers tend to code information that is maximally informative, thus talking about things that are new, different, and changing. For most children, the receptive and expressive ability to consider a partner's perspective is well established by age 10." (p. 149) "Children with LD have poor referential skills and are less likely to adjust to the listener and more likely to provide ambiguous and insufficient information. In addition, although children with LD seem to understand directions given by others, they take longer to comply than do age- matched children who are non- LD ( Feagans & Short, 1986) and have great difficulty giving adequate instructions." (p. 149) H. Johnson/MSU 9 Deitics "…linguistic elements that must be interpreted from the perspective of the speaker in order to be understood as the speaker intended." (p. 150) i.e., what does the listener know/understand about 'x' e.g., "the" vs. "a" [know vs. don't know 'x'] e.g., "come" and "here" [as perceived form the speaker's perspective] E.g., "this" and "that" and "those" [as intended from the speaker's perspective] H. Johnson/MSU 10 Cohesive Devices Conversational cohesion, i.e., how the entire conversation holds together, makes sense vs. the individual elements of the conversation [see next slides from the Brinton & Fujiki text] H. Johnson/MSU 11 concept of "cohesion"....bit confusing in text, better explanation provided by Brinton B., & Fujiki M. (1989). Conversational management with language-impaired children. Aspen Publication: Rockville, Maryland. cohesion – "...refers to the fact that successive utterances or turns in conversation can be linked.' (p 57) "...cohesion is not enough to ensure coherence. Coherence is evident when utterances and turns are related to an overriding goal." (p. 58) cohesion....:next" sentence relates to the previous sentence coherence....all of the sentences relate to the same topic and/or conversational task/goal H. Johnson/MSU 12 p 11 - Fey's (1986) 4 categories of conversational behavior: "+" = student; "-" = adult active conversationalist [+/+] passive conversationalist [-/+] inactive communicator [-/-] verbal noncommunicator [+/-] H. Johnson/MSU 13 Conversational turn taking p 27 - sequential, clustering of turn taking signaling behavior p 27 - primacy of motorical over verbal signaling behavior p 28 - listener's use of "back channel" responsive behaviors & cultural specific nature of such behaviors p 38 - initial reliance upon "pause duration" as primary turn taking signal H. Johnson/MSU 14 Ch. 3: Topic Manipulation p 44 - definitions of "topic" p 45 - multiple nature of conversational exchanges p 46 - role of "questions" as topic markers & the function as a "response requester" p 47 - role of specific function words as topic change markers p 51 - concept of "topic maintenance" p 52 - linguistic and behavioral markers for change of topics p 51 - types of topic maintenance, i.e. local & global p 52 - concept of "discontinuous discourse" p 52 - topic "shading" vs. straight or discontinuous topics p 56 - concept of "topic reintroduction" p 59 - parental use of "scaffolding" and child development of "scripts" p 59 - role of scripts in the lang. dev. process and the instructional use of games p 59 - role of increasingly sophisticated syntactical use in topic maintenance H. Johnson/MSU 15 Topic Maintenance - p 58-62 reflexive to intentional signaling of desired topic by infant/toddler/child initially, adult carry the burden to recognize, build upon and maintain the child's topic...focus is to engage the child and keep the interaction going as long as possible topical progression is from "self" to objects, events, and individuals in the immediate context over which the child can effect some change initial way that children maintain a topic is repetition, i.e., repeat what the adult says adults expand children's topics by topic "shading", by referencing the current topic to objects and events in the past and future and by facilitating child's exploration and understanding of their growing environment H. Johnson/MSU 16 p 64 Communication Repair communication repair - Who: a. other-initiated, self-repaired b. self-initiated, self-repaired "You said 'today', but I know you meant 'yesterday.'" d. self-initiated, other-repaired "I...we are ready to go now." c. other-initiated, other-repaired "What did you say?" - "I said 'Hi!'" Oh....what is the word I am looking for...." – "register?" while all four types of repair mechanisms are used by adults....which do you think require the least/most language competence to perform? least = "a" & "c" most = "b" & "d" ...implication = "b" & "d" represent language goals...why? H. Johnson/MSU 17 p 66 - communication repair - How: nonspecific request for repetition 1. • "Huh?" = repeat all specific request for repetition 2. • "You said 'who?'" = repeat "x" specific request for specification 3. • "Where do you want to go?" = tell me "x" request for confirmation 4. • "You really went with him?" = explain "x" direct request 5. • "What does that sign mean?" = what is "x" relevance request 6. • "Why is that important?" = justify "x" H. Johnson/MSU 18 Repair strategies (cont.) p 81 - covert repairs - "...consists of an interruption of speech with an editing term or repetition of one or more words" p 81 - causes of covert repairs: a) further justify a message b) desire to continue speaking, but unsure what to say next H. Johnson/MSU 19 Repair strategies (cont.) p 82 - other-initiated/other-repaired con. strategies: a) rarely occur b) every opportunity given for self-repair c) considered socially inappropriate for an adult to do this to another adult d) "THIS MAY STEM...FROM THE FACT THAT THESE TYPES OF REPAIRS CAN SHIFT EMPHASIS AWAY FROM WHAT THE SPEAKER HAS TO SAY TO HOW THE SPEAKER SAYS IT." e) even when such repairs occur, they tend to focus upon content or lexical items RATHER THAN SYNTAX OR PHONOLOGY f) some evidence that child language dev. is hindered by "...differential reinforcement of correct and incorrect utterances..." g) such repairs appear to "devaluate" the child's production H. Johnson/MSU 20 Repair strategies (cont.) p 85 - self-initiated/other repaired, i.e. speaker located trouble source and repairs were provided by listeners (e.g., listener provides the word that the speaker was trying to think of [SEEMS LIKE AN IDEAL TIME FOR VOCABULARY BUILDING!] p 86 - "...repair mechanisms appear to play an integral part in the language acquisition process." = IMPLICATION FOR OUR LANGUAGE INTERVENTION WORK? p 86 - other-initiated repair strategies - constitute an early, important part of the dev. process p 87 - production of clarification request is "predicated" on: a) ability to monitor conversation b) judge the intelligibility, relevance and truth value of messages c) knowledge of the availability and pragmatic use of a variety of linguistic forms d) knowledge of when and how to initiate a repair strategy H. Johnson/MSU 21 Repair strategies (cont.) p 87 - level of syntactic sophistication does not directly influence request for clarifications Developmental progression of repair strategies: p 92 - "All subjects demonstrated a variety of repair strategies, but these strategies were used differently at different ages. Older subjects chose strategies that involved the addition of information rather than just the repetition of the message more often than did younger subjects." p 92 - "Although young children are good at responding to clarification request, they may have difficulty specifying the particular element of the message in need of clarification." H. Johnson/MSU 22 p. 157 Latency of Contingency "When the child makes contingent responses, there should be little delay or latency between h is or her turn and the preceding speaker's turn." ...the need to interpret/translate what was communicated will take time...much longer than normally experienced in interactions between h/h or D/D ...implication....extend "wait time" = increase comprehension and/or request for communication repair....why? H. Johnson/MSU 23 Patterns of conversational language problems demonstrated by students: a) many do "...do not appear to have the persistence to continue to obtain a turn from other children and adults after an initial attempt fails." b) many have difficulty in initiating topics within turns c) many will work to maintain the topics of others, but are hesitant to introduce their own d) many will introduce topics, but do so in a way that is very difficult to understand, maintain or follow e) many will have difficulty knowing what topics to introduce in a given context and/or have only a very limited array of topics that they can introduce f) many have difficulty giving "speaking-turns" to others g) many take too many turns and introduce too many topics and thus disregard the interest of their listeners h) many may be unresponsive to their conversational partner H. Johnson/MSU 24 p 99 - discuss the "rule-of-thumb" that can/should be used to determine if a given behavior constitutes a "language problem" or not p 99 - occurrence of "simultaneous" or overspeech p 100 - use of interruptions with language impaired children: a) may be very disruptive to the language dev. process b) may cause them further difficulty with lang. productions c) may reduce their level of assertiveness within conversational exchanges H. Johnson/MSU 25 p141-166 - Facilitating Turns & Topics 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. begin with nonverbal exchange activities...games that do not require lang. imitate the child's behavior...com. system sustain the interaction...keep it going for as long as possible use interactive games, favorite stories, social "scripts"....fun, familiar routines within which new behaviors can be easily understood use questions...signals a "turn" is requested use clarification request....encourages persistence allow sufficient response time....count to "10" H. Johnson/MSU 26 p. 168 - Conversational Breakdowns "In essence, the entire analysis of the language of children with LI (language impairment) is an attempt to find where the children are ineffectual, where they fail to communicate." ...keep this in mind when SLP/others question why you are not using a normalists, psychometric test that was neither designed nor valid to determine the language abilities, differences and needs of d/hh students. pp 139 assessments should: a. determine area of deficit b. determine point of breakdown c. determine existing strategies d. determine cause of problem e. determine alternative behavioral sequence H. Johnson/MSU 27

It won't actually be live for another month, so the hacks at the Daily Mail have come up with their own version, Peter Mandel-clone. Monkey thinks it's a rather good likeness – but is a little disturbed by the English rose tattoo on his buttocks. A bit of creative licence, surely?

In what has turned out to be a season of valuation mark downs for India's biggest startups, Zomato is the latest Indian unicorn to go under investor scrutiny and has been valued at $500 million brokerage firm HSBC Securities and Capital Markets (India) Pvt. Ltd. The latest valuation almost halves the value of the startup from when it last raised funds in September.
HSBC analyst Rajiv Sharma said in his company's note to its clients,
We do a DCF (discounted cash flow) and value the (Zomato) business at about 50% lower to the $1 billion valuation.
He cited reasons such as Zomato's continued unprofitability in the 23 markets it had a presence in, along with increasing competition in the space as the main reason behind the undervaluation.
Zomato is present in 23 markets so early on and none is profitable, implies that to address both the investments in last mile delivery and losses in international operations fund-raising will be a continuous phenomenon, suggesting current valuations don't make much sense.
However, HSBC's report goes against Zomato's internal assessments where the company has boasted of turning profitable in six markets. Speaking on the topic Deepinder Goyal, co-founder and chief executive of Zomato had almost three months ago said,
We have more than doubled our revenue year-on-year for the last few years, and we are going to post some great growth numbers this year as well. We are profitable in six of the 18 markets we are the market leaders in.
Zomato along with its largest shareholder Info Edge (India) Ltd, have disagreed with HSBC's assesment. Sanjeev Bikhchandani, founder and executive vice-chairman of Info Edge told Livemint,
We respectfully disagree with several of the points raised by the HSBC report.
He also went on to say that Zomato's revenue had more than doubled in the last nine months and that it had managed to bring down costs burn by more than 70% from its peak as well.
Although, it should be added that HSBC doesn't look upon Info Edge as too promising either. A report by the former on the latter's portfolio had suggested that apart from its job website Naukri.com, none of businesses in the portfolio showed much potential.
Meanwhile, Zomato has responded by stating that HSBC obviously doesn't understand the business very well.
Our investors are as bullish about Zomato as they were before. We are growing fast and are on course to becoming profitable as a company very soon. Beyond this, we do not want to comment on valuation markdown speculations of third parties.
Well, that's the marks the rare few times a firm specializing in analysis has been blamed of not understanding the business well. Meanwhile, HSBC has stuck to its analysis and said that Zomato's strategies — which have included launching into new directions — will not have the kind of impact the company needs to turn profitable.
If companies in the online food delivery business, in particular, gain market traction, Zomato.com's advertising business model could lose business. As a result, we think the company needs to develop a profitable online delivery business itself (and not outsource) at least in its top markets to complement restaurant search. This implies that Zomato.com will have to keep raising funds and investing for some more time to come, which would dampen profitability for a couple of years.
Well, it is hard to agree to one point of view or the other. While Zomato did shut down operations in four cities recently, it did also launch a spate of new strategies and has at least continued to get the steady backing of its main investors. Meanwhile, it should be said that food startups in the country have been having a bad time all around — just look at Ola Cafe, Dazo, Spoonjoy, Eatlo Tech Solutions and even Grofers itself — and Zomato has at least been holding up pretty decently — so maybe, it actually does need some time and perhaps some more investments to flourish and make the transition to self-sustainability.
Meanwhile, Zomato should hope that the HSBC investment doesn't have an adverse effect on its investors who have until now, continued to stick faithfully by the company and have poured in a total of $225 million since its inception in 2008. It raised $60 million in its last funding round in September 2015, mainly from Singapore's Temasek Holdings Pte and Vy Capital, who valued it at $1 Billion.
Well, at least the company is not in Flipkart's boat, which has been facing markdowns upon markdowns from its own investors.

Judge: Michael M. Mohun
Edited by Lawrence N. Rogak
The plaintiffs operate a farm on land leased from two brothers, Donald J. Keicher and Robert Keicher. On May 13, 2011, runoff from a heavy rainstorm allegedly caused manure that the plaintiffs had spread on their fields to contaminate several ponds on adjoining land. It is undisputed that Donald and Robert Keicher also own the land where the ponds are located. The record does not disclose the nature of the brothers' ownership of the land.
At the time that the ponds were allegedly contaminated, the plaintiffs had in effect an insurance policy with the defendant. The policy included coverage for property damage caused by farm pollutants. In the copy of the policy submitted by the defendant, the coverage is found within endorsement SF 0501 0709 at "Section E," "Limited Farm Pollution Liability Coverage." The farm pollution coverage is subject to an aggregate annual liability limit of $50,000.00 pursuant to endorsement SF 0707 1110 and the policy's liability schedule.
Following the rainstorm, Robert Keicher notified Robert Bliss of the damage to the ponds, and, on May 19, 2011, Robert Bliss contacted the defendant to request coverage under the policy. According to the affidavit of Patrick Manning, Mr. Bliss reported to him that "Robert Keicher's ponds and fish were damaged" by the manure runoff. Thereafter, Manning met with Robert Keicher and personally examined the site. He also examined certain "damage estimates" provided by Robert Keicher. From the damage estimates and his site investigation, Manning concluded "that the damages sustained by Robert [Keicher] were in excess of the $50,000 coverage limit."
Manning made an offer to settle with Robert Keicher for the policy limit - an
offer which Robert Keicher eventually accepted. On September 7, 2011, in
exchange for $50,000.00, Robert Keicher signed a release discharging all
property damage claims that he might have against the plaintiffs arising out
of the May 13 manure runoff. Robert Keicher's brother, Donald, signed the
release as a witness.
On January 11, 2012, Donald Keicher made his own claim for damage to the ponds, using in support the same damage estimates that Robert had used. The defendant disclaimed coverage on the grounds that it had already fulfilled its obligations under the policy for the May 13 pollution of the ponds by paying to Robert Keicher the full annual liability limit.
The Court observes that the applicable limiting language appears in the copy of the policy provided by the defendant in endorsement SF 0707 1110, on page 8. That endorsement obliges the defendant to defend the insured and pay valid claims falling within the Limited Farm Pollution Coverage only "up to
OUR limit of Liability." The endorsement also states that "OUR duty to
defend ends when WE have exhausted the applicable limit of liability by the
payment of judgments or settlements."
After Donald filed suit against the plaintiffs (the underlying action, Wyoming County Index No. 44756), the plaintiffs instituted this action against the defendants alleging that the defendant "carelessly, negligently and recklessly investigated, handled and settled the claim with Robert Keicher" and "carelessly, negligently and recklessly failed to obtain releases from all owners of the subject damaged property prior to settling the claim." The defendant now moves for summary judgment.
The Court finds that the defendant's submissions are sufficient to establish, prima facie, that the defendant is entitled to judgment as a matter
of law. Pursuant to its contractual obligations under the policy, the
defendant promptly settled an apparently valid claim for damage to the
ponds. Thereafter, under the policy, it disclaimed coverage with respect to
Donald's claim because the policy limits had already been exhausted. Thus,
the defendant has sufficiently shown that it did not breach the explicit terms
of the insurance contract.
Furthermore, the defendant's submissions sufficiently establish that it did not breach the policy's implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in handling the claims arising from the manure runoff into the ponds. Although the plaintiff questions the defendant's conclusion that the damage to the ponds exceeded the policy limits, and asserts that the defendant's investigation of Robert Keicher's claim was negligently done, it must be noted that "[a]n insurer does not breach its duty of good faith when it makes a mistake in judgment or behaves negligently" (Federal Insurance Company v. North American Specialty Insurance Company, 83 A.D.3d 401, 402 [1st Dept., 2011]).
A cause of action for bad faith must be founded upon conduct on the part of the insurer which "evinces a conscious or knowing indifference" or a "gross disregard" of the insured's interests (Pavia v. State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins. Co., 82 N.Y.2d 445, 453 [1993]). Here, the defendant's submissions sufficiently establish that it had, at a minimum, an "arguable basis" for its determination that Robert Keicher's claim should be settled for the policy limit (Bennion v.
Allstate Insurance Company, 284 A.D.2d 924, 925 [4th Dept., 2001]).
Accordingly, the Court finds that the defendant has met its burden upon the
motion to show that it did not act in bad faith.
In responding to the defendant's submissions, the plaintiffs have
failed to show that material questions of fact remain to be determined. The
supposition that the defendant could have also settled Donald's claim within
the policy limits had it delayed or handled differently the settlement of
Robert's claim is entirely speculative. Therefore, since the plaintiffs have
failed to counter the defendant's prima facie showing, the motion must be
granted (see, Doherty v. Merchants Mutual Insurance Company, 74 A.D.3d
1870, 1872 [4th Dept., 2010], motion to dismiss appeal denied by 15 N.Y.3d
866 [2010], appeal withdrawn by 17 N.Y.3d 812 [2011]; Zuckerman v. City
of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557 [1980]).
Summary judgment was granted to Farm Family.
Comment: This decision should be very interesting to attorneys in the New York No-Fault field, where there are often multiple medical providers seeking benefits under the same $50,000 policy of first party benefits, and policy exhaustion is a frequent occurrence.

Should grandparents be allowed to immigrate to Canada?
By Reis Pagtakhan, for CBC News Posted: Dec 06, 2015 7:00 AM CT Last Updated: Dec 06, 2015 7:00 AM CT
In 2011, due to a large backlog of applications, the federal government froze the immigration program that allowed Canadians and permanent residents to sponsor and bring their foreign parents and grandparents to Canada.
When the program was reopened in 2014, the backlog had not yet been eliminated. As a result, the government limited the number of parent and grandparent applications it would accept to 5,000 per year.
Because demand was so great, the 5,000 application quota was quickly met. The quota was met by February of 2014. In 2015, the quota was met by mid-January.
'A commitment to take in more applications without a commitment to complete more is an empty promise.' – Reis Pagtakhan
In the last federal election, the Liberals announced they would double the quota of parents and grandparent applications to 10,000 per year. On Jan. 4, 2016, the immigration program will reopen again. The first question to the Immigration Minister is whether he will increase the application quota for 2016, or wait until 2017.
Even if the quota is increased, a careful reading of the Liberal platform reveals that while they have committed to increasing the number of applications that can be submitted, no specific promise has been made as to how applications would be completed each year.
Empty promises
A commitment to take in more applications without a commitment to complete more is an empty promise. It is a bit like the feeling a person gets when escorted from a doctor's external waiting room to a doctor's internal waiting room. You feel like you are making progress but, until you actually see the doctor, you really have only moved chairs. If more chairs are added to the waiting room but the number of doctors in the clinic remains the same, your wait will actually increase.
As of April 1, 2015, more than 68,000 parents and grandparents were in Canada's immigration waiting room. What Canadian families need to know from the immigration minister is how many applications will be approved each year and whether doubling the number of applications accepted will increase wait times.
'While the Canadian government should increase its target of economic immigrants, keeping the number of parents and grandparents at between 6% and 7% is fair.'– Reis Pagtakhan
Knowing how long these immigration applications take is important, because the current processing times are abysmal. At present, some parent and grandparent applications can take 10 years or more to process. As a result, unless the government completes more applications than it accepts, a parent who files an application in 2016 would have a better chance of seeing their Canadian children at the 2024 Olympics (wherever that may be) than in Canada.

My husband and I have lived in the neighborhood for almost 20 years and just love this spot. We bought the property adjacent to us and have renovated it to provide a great get away for couples or family and friends for one night or several weeks. You'll find we love the area and have tried very hard to create a home to get away to that enables you to relax and enjoy yourselves.
Chantal Lawrence purchased this house in 2013
This property is quiet, remote, yet close to most anything you're looking to see or do. Its clean, fresh and comfortable.
The Patchogue River is stimulating spot for fishing, boating, birding and just relaxing. The views are ever changing and beautiful in all seasons. Don't just think of this area as a place for the Summer, we love it here in the fall and the winter.
This is an adorable and spotlessly clean cottage in a relaxing setting. The decor was homey but not over done. Chantal was very accommodating and communicative. We sincerely enjoyed our stay and it was perfect for our girls weekend in Westbrook. The location was perfect as well. Close to Water's Edge resort where we had brunch and Clinton where we shopped at the outlets.
I can't say enough about this property and its host. Chantal was a great host and helpful in handling all the logistics of booking the trip. The home is surprisingly spacious and bright. YOu don't need to take anything else but your clothes and some bug spray. Before our trip I asked if she had any kitchen tools and she said the kitchen was fully stocked. She was not kidding. You don't need to bring anything. The home has everything that you'll. The grounds are beautiful and spacious. Enough room for kids to run around and explore. Can't say enough. We were lucky to find this place just 2 weeks before Labor Day weekend. If you decide to go, must try Bill's Seafood and Lobster Landing in Clinton.
Mrs. Lawrence was wonderful and the house is just beautiful! The location is perfect and so very peaceful!! Great place for a relaxing late week of August before the start of school.
Thank you!!!!
Had such a fun, relaxing weekend at Marsh Landing. The cottage is clean, airy and adorable. Very centrally located - walking distance to the beach and close to seafood shacks, a vineyard, a waterfall and hiking trails. We took a fun day trip to Mystic and enjoyed our nights sipping wine on the deck and BBQing. Highly recommended for a memorable weekend with family.
Very hot while there (3 days for a last minute get away.) , wished we had more time to sample lovely beaches. Near a number of attractions, boat trip, castle! Plenty of eateries. Food not great but OK for our purposes, to please the 12 year old! Great walks, hikes, nearby.
Well laid out, good space for 3 generations (3 adults plus 12 year old.) Modern kitchen.
Fully equipped, Needed some repair to louvered windows on porch . Nice view. Would like to return when cooler and not so buggy.
Owner very helpful, wished we had met. Air conditioner did the job for unseasonably hot weather, but wished it was not so loud.
Very pleased over all.
Worst problem was clunky web site. Exasperating!
Deborah Richman

Pittsburgh Musical Theater
Based on Disney's epic animated musical adventure and Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan of the Apes, Tarzan features heart-pumping music by rock legend Phil Collins and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright, David Henry Hwang. High-flying excitement and hits like the Academy Award winning "You'll Be in My Heart" as well as "Son of Man" and "Two Worlds" make Tarzan an unforgettable theatrical experience.
Washed up on the shores of West Africa, an infant boy is taken in and raised by gorillas who name him Tarzan. Apart from striving for acceptance from his ape father, Tarzan's life is mostly monkey business until a human expedition treks into his tribe's territory and he encounters creatures like himself for the first time. Tarzan struggles to navigate a jungle, thick with emotion as he discovers his animal upbringing clashing with his human instincts.

Ph.D., U. of Maryland, 1997
Through my teaching and research I seek to uncover the legacy effects of past decisions, practices, and processes. One can argue that if we are to make wise decisions with regard to the environmental problems we face today, we must understand the complex web of human and physical processes that, over time, have contributed to their existence. I am particularly interested in urban sustainability; management of public lands, especially state forests and urban green spaces; environmental justice; and the evolution of mining landscapes. Although much of my early work focused on the social and environmental impacts of coal mining in Appalachia, my most recent efforts build on my association with the Long-Term Ecological Research - Baltimore Ecosystem Study (LTER-BES). More specifically, my colleagues and I have been using an environmental justice frame to study the distribution of urban parks and street trees across the urban landscape. As a follow-up to this research, I am currently studying the social and ecological benefits linked to the removal of asphalt from Baltimore's schoolyards and playgrounds. In addition to an interesting history, this research has identified a unique mechanism for addressing the cost of asphalt removal - always a challenge for cities that are short on funding. Finally, I should mention my involvement with Education Abroad. Every summer I take 12-15 Ohio University students on a sustainability-themed education abroad trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. Over the course of five weeks, we explore this fascinating city and country through coursework (GEOG 4560-5560 – City and Environment and GEOG 4550-5550 – History of Planning) and numerous field trips.

Pressestimmen'... a useful introduction to the subject ... As the previous two editions, the book is a very accurate description of the movement towards the abolition of the death penalty in international law ... offers the reader a praiseworthy guide to the field to which it is dedicated. It would be very useful for academics, as well as human rights activists. In addition, the preface by the President of the International Court of Justice, as well as the extensive normative material included in the book as appendices, undoubtedly increase its instructive and learning value for all it has been designed for.'

Law and Business
My understanding that business isn't only about the numbers and the bottom line – but also so much about relationships and people – was something I learnt at ACU.
As the CEO of Ella Bache, one of my biggest responsibilities is making sure the values of the organisation are protected, and that the employees are well looked after. I was really caught by the University's focus on ethics, and the desire to play a positive role in my work community. ACU made sure that we weren't only receiving a piece of paper when we graduated, but learning the life skills that would stand us in good stead for the future.
The curriculum was structured around real world problems, and the staff are all active in the business world – which gave me a sense of the reality of business, not just the academic ideas.
There's also a personal feel to studying at ACU, and a constant encouragement to think critically and creatively.

|This is a discussion on Bad Days and Why? do you know... within the online poker forums, in the General Poker section; Hey Everyone, There are a lot of great players out there... for some of us, it's a daily grind, at the poker tables... and for
Bad Days and Why? do you know...
Hey Everyone,
There are a lot of great players out there... for some of us, it's a daily grind, at the poker tables... and for others it's just a way to pass the time between work breaks, and meetings...
We have all experienced really awesome days, and really bad days... and here is my input so you can avoid the BAD DAYS...
BAD DAYS: it's a day when even when you flop the nuts you get out donked by another player. A day that just doesn't seem to fly your way even if you are a solid poker player.
Top Indicators to Avoid a Bad Day:
1) High Traffic Volume at the Tables. If there are way too many players online, you know they are bound to cause some problems on your game.
2) Weekend High Volumes due to Televised Poker Events. It seems that when poker is on TV, people get the itch to play some poker, so that drives traffic up to the sites. So try and avoid playing too much on the weekends.
3) if you play more then 5 sit-n-go's and you loose them all, perhaps it's a good indicator to leave the tables, and go get some fresh air.
Top Days to Play:
1) My best days to play have been Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My Reason behind this is that during the week players tend to have day jobs, and couldn't really focus on the game while they should be focusing on their work.
2) Thursdays have been my best days, what ever I loose on the weekends... I always make it back on this day, it seems people are tired of the work week and are just waiting for the weekend. Perhaps this means they are less focused on what they are doing and how they play.
This are my ideas and theories behind Bad Days and Good Days at the Online Poker Tables...
But am always open to hear some new suggestions from you guys...
Um, I pretty much disagree with all of that. Your post is a riff on the idea that some people have that they'd be winning players if only the other players weren't so bad. Or in this case, distracted by poker on tv...ROFL.
There are bad days. They are random. And even if they weren't the more active days would be the better ones to play.
Cope with bad days in whatever way works for you.
re: Poker & Bad Days and Why? do you know...
Pretty much everything I do is the opposite of what you just said. The best people to play against are the ones that just saw the re-run of WSOP and doesn't know much about poker. You want to be playing on the days where there are alot of people on and playing. The more people that are on, the more likely that there is a lot more bad people playing. Yeah you may suffer a lot more bad beats, but if you have your money in when you are ahead, you will win in the long run. If that works for you, that is great, but I think if you played more during the times that you don't like, you could pull in a lot more money
However, there is undoubtedly a psychological impact on alot of players who are good players, but when things go bad against bad players, they tilt or just don't play the way they are capable of playing. So if you know this about yourself, you shouldn't try to do what is general, just for the sake of what everyone else says.
He should continue to play on Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri because those are the days where he does well and feels the most comfortable. Use those days to build his roll to the point where he can play on Wed, Sat, and Sun and take the beats that will come and not feel bad about it.
If you have $1,000 and you lose $1 five times, I don't think anyone would get upset about it. But if you have $30 and you lose $1 five times, you just lost 1/6 of your roll and you are going to be ticked. And it's really not that hard to run into 5 situations on a weekend where you get your money in 75-25 or 80-20 favorite and lose to these bad players. So you'd be playing correct, good poker and you'd be doing proper BRM, but you'd be losing 1/6th of your roll.
I understand what the OP is trying to say and a year ago I would have agreed. But now that I understand the game more.... its just completely wrong.
You want to play these players who overvalue their cards and bluff on every street. They are easy to play!!
The problem is that they are level 0 thinkers.. you cannot 'out play' them. So c-bet bluffs will fail more often.. well crafted bluffs on the river will be called with an over-pair etc, etc.
Rather than thinking that somehow bad players have an advantage over you (which is the crux of the argument) think more along the lines of what simple adjustments you need to make to your game to beat them.
Personally I hardly ever bluff beond the flop.. and I don't begin c-betting until I have taken a few pots down.
I play only good cards, but I will steal in position with a wider range of cards.
It very ABC.. its slow, its boring, but its guaranteed cash.
re: Poker & Bad Days and Why? do you know...
Hmmmm, why do high traffic days = bad?
Would you want more traffic like, always? The more traffic on a site the better, as there will be more fish usually and recreational players. On a say... tuesday morning/afternoon... is never going to be better then a saturday or sunday morning/afternoon. The sheer volume of bad players grows on weekends and they are the best days to play.
I still say this even though I won alot of money during the week, and lost it all on saturday/sunday. I just ran really bad but I know that the weekends are still the best and most profitable times to play, the table vpip% is just wayyy higher, less nits and regs.
Here is my 2 cents I avoid freerolls at all cost on the weekend ( except cardchats ). It's very hard to cash with the all in with nothing but a prayer player. It seems they ALL come out to play on the weekend. Some of them do sneak into a buy in here and there but for the most part ( unless your playing something cheap ) the buy in's have been a safe place for me on the weekend. And in if I lose a few I take a break and something else do.
re: Poker & Bad Days and Why? do you know...
In my several years of online experience, ANY day of the week could be a good day or a bad day. Some of your bad days may be due to goofy people, but it could also be that you are just having a bad day.
Maybe you are not thinking clearly...you have something else on your mind...your jerk boss at work, your teenage son who neglected to take out the overflowing garbage, your puppy that just pooped on the floor and you had to clean it up and it got under your fingernails.... who knows, but a bad day can happen at any time in my experience...
I used to play on absolute poker exclusively for about 1 1/2 yrs. During the week and during the day, I would play in tournaments and know about half the players by first name. The $5 and $10 mtts in the morning were fun because they had 30-40 people and the $20s had about 20. These games were fun, but really hard, because all the players knew each other and you were playing against all sharks. Then at night and on the weekends, all of us daytime sharks prowled on the fish.

any ideas?
Im booking my car into VW this week due tot he boot release not releasing properly so i can ask them to look in to it
The Scirocco has a tendancy to twist a little more than most cars due to the rim less doors so I think some of the creaking is down to that.NT-Rocco wrote:Also my tsi is coming up to 35k miles about due its anual service , but i think it has a slight miss fire sometimes. i tried to overtake earlier in second gear and i got 2 pops and a lag of pwoer before it kicked in
Any ideas on this? maybe needs plugs replacing or a coilpack?
Are you sure it just wasn't your traction control working? If not then yes, check the coil packs first although they are not really prone to failure on the Scirocco too much tbh. Always worth checking the plugs
