Tuesday, September 29 2009 - Legal Response to 9/11
'Rescue Me' star Daniel Sunjata headlines 9/11 protest march
Monday, September 28th, 2009 -- 2:45 pm
UPDATE (at bottom): City's law department tells RAW STORY that a new 9/11 investigation is 'not a proper subject to be placed before the voters' '
A lead actor from the popular FX television show "Rescue Me" joined a large group of 9/11 activists and survivors on Sunday in a march from New York City's Battery Park to city hall.
During an afternoon rally in the park, Daniel Sunjata, who plays the role of Franco Rivera in the firefighter drama featuring actor Dennis Leary, took the stage with an impassioned call for a new investigation.
The march was held to support the NYC CAN coalition, which is currently engaged in a court battle with city hall over the legality of their ballot measure calling for a new 9/11 investigation.
The group has gathered over 80,000 signatures from New Yorkers in support of its ballot initiative, and even won a recent legal skirmish over a challenge to the validity if its petition's signatures. The city's challenge to the initiative's legality continues, however, with a court referee recently advising the judge to find for the city.
An NYC CAN media advisory, which refers to the 9/11 Commission Report as a "disgrace," notes that the group's lawyers were to file a motion for reconsideration on Monday, Sept. 28.
"We have received, for our efforts, a slap in the face and a kick in the mouth," said Sunjata, speaking at the NYC CAN rally on Sunday. "Although 80,000 New Yorkers have voice their desire, in writing, to include on November's mayoral ballot the referendum for a new and actual investigation into 9/11, New York City has responded by taking the position that it has no jurisdiction in that matter."
"No jurisdiction?!" he shouted. "No jurisdiction into the murder of 3,000 of its own citizens? No jurisdiction or the intent of seeking such jurisdiction. Bloomberg."
A ruling on the city's motion for summary judgment on the initiative's legality was expected today, although the group's new motion would appear to delay that for at least a little longer. The group says it expects a decision one way or another later this week.
"A favorable ruling would likely be appealed by the City pushing the issue to the Appellate Court," an NYC CAN advisory predicted. "If the Petition overcomes all legal challenges, goes to November ballot and the referendum passes, it would lead to the creation of a local, independent commission with subpoena power that would be tasked with comprehensively reinvestigating the attacks."
"While the specter of 9/11 is raised repeatedly, ghoulishly, dangled before us to justify the dismemberment of our Constitution, the trampling of our civil liberties," said Sunjata. "Questioning 9/11 itself? Oh, that is strictly prohibited. Do you hear that, New York? Do you hear that, family members? Cops? Firefighters? First responders? Your government has just told you, again, again, that you are good enough to die for them, but that asking questions about the inciting event is un-American, unpatriotic and just quite simply out of bounds."
Sunjata's support for a fresh investigation into the attacks is well known to regular "Rescue Me" viewers. Earlier this year, a "Rescue Me" subplot even incorporated his belief that the attacks were an "inside job."
Other speakers at Sunday's rally included "9/11 family members Bob McIlvaine and Manny Badillo, New York University's Professor of Media Studies [and] Mark Crispin Miller," noted NYC CAN.
Kate O'Brien Ahlers, New York City's law department communications director, commented to RAW STORY: "As the legal referee recommended -- and the City agrees -- the focus of this referendum is not a proper subject to be placed before the voters under applicable law."
In an initial response, Ahlers attributed the city's position to the court's supposed ruling, not the legal referee. It was later corrected in an e-mail. The court has not yet ruled on the ballot initiative.
A majority of the NYC CAN presentation, which includes Sunjata's speech (from 18:38 to 23:57), is available here.
This video is from YouTube, broadcast Sept. 27, 2009.

Does anyone know what time it will actually start? The tickets say 5pm but if the main card is live on TV at 9pm that seems like an awful long time for prelim fights
Think prelims started around 5.30 last time, was gaps in between fights which is why it took it to 9pm if my memory serves me right...
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Will be tuning in for semtex later.

For the purposes of this chapter—
(1) The term "Indian Wars" means the campaigns, engagements, and expeditions of the United States military forces against Indian tribes or nations, service in which has been recognized heretofore as pensionable service.
(a) The Administrator shall pay to each veteran of the Indian Wars who meets the service requirements of this section a pension at the following monthly rate:

Boykin RBI doubles spark Brevard offense in loss to GCSUMarch 2, 2012
Late comebacks in both games fall short in sweep against Bobcats
Milledgeville, Ga. - Emily Boykin drove RBI doubles in sparking Brevard comebacks in both contests, but Georgia College & State built early advantages in each contest to hold off the Tornados in recording 7-3 and 6-5 victories.
Brittany Tucker drove in three runs in the second contest, while Chelsi Mallory, Ally Davenport, Meredith Davenport and Brittany Jones all had multiple hits as the Tornados fall to 7-7 on the season. Whitney Okvist recorded hits in each of her first six at-bats to pace the Bobcats (12-10) offense as GCSU recorded the sweep over Brevard.
Game One: GCSU 7, Brevard 3
Box Score
Emily Boykin and Brittany Jones led a Brevard comeback in the top of the sixth, but the Bobcats did their damage early in the contest in holding on for the 7-3 victory in the first game of the doubleheader.
Kayla Clemens (5-3) took the loss in the contest, going the distance against GCSU, while Sabrina Chandler (5-2) recorded the win, scattering six hits in the victory.
GCSU got on the board early in the contest as Whitney Okvist opened the bottom of the first inning with a double in the left centerfield gap, and Natalie Bellantoni followed with a base hit scoring Okvist for the first run of the contest. The Bobcats built a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second as Caitlin Duvall brought in Mikayla Sparks with a base hit and Michl'le Hull scored Duvall with a two-out single to give the Bobcats the early advantage.
The Bobcats stretched their advantage to seven runs during the middle innings with Okvist doing the majority of the damage. The sophomore outfielder scored a run in the fourth and followed with a two-out single in the bottom of the fifth, capping the scoring for GCSU in the contest.
Brevard put their first run on the board in the top of the sixth, doing their damage in the inning with two outs. Boykin drove a double down the left field line, scoring Clemens from second base to put the Tornados on the scoreboard. She advanced to third on a passed ball, and following a walk issued to Maddie Fletcher, Jones rifled a single into right field scoring Boykin to put the score at 7-2.
The Tornados added another run in the top of the seventh off reliever Erica Bell as Meredith Davenport led off the frame by being hit by a pitch. Two wild pitches moved Davenport over to third base, and the sophomore outfielder came around to score on two-out wild pitch from Bell to cut the lead to 7-3. Clemens followed by drawing a full-count walk and Brittany Tucker hit a double to left centerfield as the Tornados threatened to keep the comeback attempt alive, but Bell retired the final BC batter to end the contest with the victory for the home team.
Game Two: GCSU 6, Brevard 5
Box Score
Brittany Tucker drove in three runs to pace the Brevard offense in the nightcap of the doubleheader, but again an early Bobcats lead held up as the Tornados comeback fell short in the top of the seventh in falling 6-5.
Alyssa Miller (2-4) went the distance in receiving the loss, while Haley Burnett (5-4) recorded the victory for the Bobcats.
Walks plagued the Tornados in the bottom of the first inning as GCSU put across three runs in the frame to take the early lead. Burnett drew a bases loaded walk to score Okvist for the first run of the contest, while Shahlisa Shirley and Lindsey Conway hit back-to-back sacrifice flies to score two more in the early going.
Brevard cut into the lead in the top of the third inning, putting a crooked number up on the board as Ally and Meredith Davenport both reached base to start the frame. A sacrifice bunt moved both runners into scoring position and the Tornados eventually loaded the bases with two outs. Tucker brought home Meredith and Chelsi Mallory with a single to straightaway centerfield to put the score at 3-2.
The Bobcats put across another run in the bottom half of the inning as Okvist continued to swing a hot bat in the contest, recording her sixth hit on the day with a base hit to left field, scoring Conway to double the GCSU lead.
The Tornados swapped runs in the sixth inning as Ally Davenport brought home Boykin with a single to left field to cut the lead back to 4-3, but the Bobcats answered with a pair in the bottom half of the inning to give Burnett several insurance runs. Burnett gave herself the first run, doubling home Bellantoni, while Alex Duvall singled her in later in the frame to put GCSU up 6-3 heading into Brevard's final at-bat.
A final rally gave the Tornados a chance to push the game into extra innings as Tucker brought home Fowler on a sacrifice bunt for the first run in the inning, while Boykin recorded her second double on the day scoring Mallory with two outs to put the Tornados in position to tie the game. However, Burnett was able to retire the side to close out the GCSU sweep.
Brevard remains on the road as they travel to Florence, S.C. to take on West Alabama in a doubleheader hosted at Francis Marion University. First pitch between the Tornados and the Tigers is set for noon.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The sons of the
man who built the Lindsey Wilson College president's home visited
their father's work Friday.
Jim and Kentucky state Rep. Jody Richards, both of Bowling Green, Ky.,
received a tour of the 64-year-old Emily Hundley President's Home
from LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. and his wife,
The Richards' late father, Demaree, was hired by
then-LWC President V.P. Henry to build the residence in 1950. It
has been home to six LWC presidents and their family members. It
was renovated and expanded five years ago, and named in honor of
longtime college supporter Emily Hundley of Louisville,
During the tour, Jim Richards recalled helping his
father build the Hundley President's Home, and he also worked on
Phillips Hall, a residence hall for female students, and Hundley
Hall, the college's dining center until 1993.
The Richards, who grew up in the Adair County
community of Garlin and attended Adair County schools, remained
connected to the house after it was built -- they mowed the yard
for Henry, who paid them 25 cents. The Richards had to provide the
lawn mower and gas.
Also on Friday, the Richards donated the diploma
and college pin of their late mother, Mary Stevenson
Their mother -- whose family moved from Russell
County to Adair County so that she could attend the school -- was a
member of Lindsey Wilson's first junior college graduating class in
1925. Lindsey Wilson was founded in 1903 by the Louisville Annual
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South as a training
school to prepare students for Vanderbilt University. It became a
junior college in 1923.
After Lindsey Wilson, Richards went on to graduate
from Kentucky Wesleyan College, which was then located in
Jody Richards followed in his mother's footsteps to
Kentucky Wesleyan. He's been a member of the Kentucky House of
Representatives since 1976, representing the 20th District of
Warren County. Jim Richards -- who was a member of Adair County
High School's 1954 state tournament boys' basketball team -- is
retired from Western Kentucky University, where he played
basketball for Adair County native Ed Diddle, coached the men's
basketball team and served as an administrator.

Hepatorenal syndrome
Hepatorenal syndrome is a condition in which there is progressive kidney failure in a person with cirrhosis of the liver. It is a serious and often life-threatening complication of cirrhosis.
Hepatorenal syndrome occurs when there is a decrease in kidney function in a person with a severe liver disorder. Because less urine is removed from the body, nitrogen-containing waste products build up in the bloodstream (azotemia).
The disorder occurs in up to 1 in 10 patients who are in the hospital due toliver failure. It leads to kidney failure in people with:
Risk factors include:
- Blood pressure that falls when a person rises or suddenly changes position (orthostatic hypotension)
- Use of medicines called diuretics ("water pill")
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Infection
- Recent abdominal fluid tap (paracentesis)
- Abdominal swelling due to fluid (called ascites, a symptom of the underlying liver disease)
- Change in mental status
- Coarse muscle movements or muscle jerks
- Dark-colored urine (a symptom of the underlying liver disease)
- Decreased urine production
- Nausea and vomiting
- Weight gain
- Yellow skin (jaundice, a symptom of the underlying liver disease)
Exams and Tests
This condition is diagnosed when other causes of kidney failure are ruled out by the appropriate tests.
A physical examination does not directly reveal kidney failure. However, the exam will usually show signs of chronic liver disease, including:
- Confusion (often due to hepatic encephalopathy)
- Excess fluid in the abdomen (ascites)
- Jaundice
- Other signs of liver failure
Other signs include:
- Abnormal reflexes
- Smallertesticle
- Dull sound in the belly area when tapped with the tips of the fingers
- Increased breast tissue (gynecomastia)
- Sores (lesions) on the skin
The following may be signs of kidney failure:
- Absent or low urine production, less than 400 cc/day
- Fluid retention in the abdomen or extremities
- Increased BUN and creatinine blood levels
- Increased urine specific gravity and osmolality
- Low blood sodium
- Very low urine sodium concentration
The following may be signs of liver failure:
- Abnormal prothrombin time (PT)
- Increased blood ammonia levels
- Low blood albumin
- Paracentesis shows ascites
- Signs of hepatic encephalopathy (an EEG may be performed if such signs are present)
The goal of treatment is to help your liver work better and to make sure your heart is pumpingenough blood to your body.
Treatment is generally the same as kidney failure due to any cause.
- All unnecessary medicines should be stopped, especially ibuprofen and other NSAIDs, the antibiotic neomycin, and diuretics ("water pills").
- Dialysis may improve symptoms.
- Medications such as octreotide plus midodrine, albumin, or dopamine may be used to improve blood pressure and temporarily to help your kidneys work better.
- A nonsurgical shunt (known as TIPS) is used to relieve the symptoms of ascites and may help kidney function.
- Surgery to place a shunt (called a Levine shunt) from the abdominal space (peritoneum) to the jugular vein may also relieve some of the symptoms of kidney failure. Both procedures are risky and proper selection of patients is very important.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The predicted outcome is poor. Death is usually the result of asecondary infection or severe bleeding (hemorrhage).
Possible Complications
- Bleeding
- Damage to, and failure of, many organ systems
- End-stage kidney disease
- Fluid overload with congestive heart failure or pulmonary edema
- Hepatic coma
- Secondary infections
When to Contact a Medical Professional
This disorder most often is diagnosed in the hospital during treatment for a liver disorder.

EVERETT — The City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to rename a North Everett park after the late City Councilman Drew Nielsen, who helped preserve the half-acre parcel from development long before he sought elected office.
The new name for the park at 13th Street and Colby Avenue will be the Drew Nielsen Neighborhood Park. The Everett Historical Commission recommended the change last month.
Nielsen died May 12, 2012 in a rafting accident. He had served on the City Council since 2004.
The property had been owned since the late 1960s by what is now Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. Nielsen was a leader during the 1990s in convincing the hospital not to expand west into the neighborhood where he lived. Later, Nielsen, a lawyer by profession, helped build the gazebo and pergola at the park.
Nielsen also was an avid cyclist. A Bike to Work Day event Friday morning will begin with a moment of silence in his memory. Starting at 7:30 a.m., Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson plans to lead a short ride from the corner of Wall Street and Oakes Avenue to Everett Station.

Why did Audrey sport a ceremonial crown with tassles similar to a young Marie Fontenot in said vieo?
After the ceremony, the pope ditched his mitre and ceremonial robes and hopped into the popemobile for a spin around the square.
Rhino horns are also sold as ceremonial daggers in Middle Eastern countries like Yemen.
Indeed there is a pre-Hispanic ceremonial site located a scant 400 meters from the outer edge of the Otomí Lake & Villas property.
Grown in the jungle by the indigenous Kichwa, guayusa (gwhy-you-sa) is a sacred leaf used in ceremonial rituals.
The whole moral code was rendered impotent by them, while ceremonial cleansing was the be-all and end-all of their system.
This was necessary as a climax, for they had performed, not a mere deed, but a ceremonial.
The seven uniforms were once the ceremonial dress of the seven guilds established by Prince Mechow.
The Chief at the fire hands the ceremonial pipe to Yavi who lights it.
He determined to break through this ceremonial nonsense, see Bivens face to face, and settle the affair at once.
c.1400, "belonging to (religious) ritual," also as a noun, "a ceremonial practice," from Late Latin caerimonialis "pertaining to ceremony," from caerimonia (see ceremony). Related: Ceremonially.

Three weeks until the Universal Start Date and the college baseball season is around the corner. As publications release preseason polls and All-America teams, anticipation and excitement is in the air.
So too is a new reality.
While powerhouse programs such as Arizona State, Florida State and LSU took the field over weekend, programs north of the Mason-Dixie Line continue to stay indoors, utilizing indoor batting cages and facilities to escape freezing temperatures and snow. This is nothing new for northern programs that are accustomed to not fielding fly balls or stepping in a dirt batter's box until the first game of the season.
What is new for the teams in the Midwest and throughout New England is a reality that such an obstacle can be overcome. This new day in college baseball is due to the exploits of Kent State and Stony Brook, the two northern crashers of the 2012 College World Series.
Bracing single-digit wind chills and snow-laden backdrops where one would need an orange baseball to play catch, the Golden Flashes and Seawolves have commenced practice after last being seen going toe-to-toe with the college baseball elite in their respective roads to Omaha. Meanwhile, programs from Normal, Ill., to Storrs, Conn., to Bloomington, Ind., to Mt. Pleasant, Mich. ask 'why not us?'
Every program dreams of making it to Omaha. The goal of playing in the College World Series is why a player takes batting practice at 1:30 am, squeezes out one last repetition or stays after hours to perfect pickoff moves. For programs in the north, that dream no longer appears unachievable.
And that makes the 2013 season critical for baseball throughout the region.
For years the deck has been stacked against northern programs. Although not as cumbersome as those within the region believe – nor as fallacious as observers elsewhere perceive – there are real disadvantages, namely weather and schedule, that beleaguer the programs of the Big East, Big Ten, Mid-American and fellow regional conferences. But recent changes to rules, as well as programs seeking to maximize the output of things they can control, have led to a now-or-never time for northern programs.
Were the College World Series appearances of Kent State and Stony Brook outliers, two against-the-odds feats that will not again happen for 15, 20 years? Or has the gap between north and south, warm and cold forever shrunk? As recently as last March, a prominent figure in the north would lead one to believe the former.
John Anderson has been the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers since 1981. He enters 2013 with a record of 1,092-726-3. The 2008 inductee to the American Baseball Coaches Association is 12th among active coaches in wins. But missing from Anderson's resume is an appearance in the College World Series. Minnesota has yet to even appear in a Super Regional under the NCAA's current tournament format.
During Anderson's tenure, just three Big Ten teams have made the Omaha field of eight: Michigan in 1981, 1983 and 1984. For all that Anderson has accomplished, it is what he and regional peers have yet to do that led him to express a sentiment that raised eyebrows throughout baseball: that his conference should no longer compete for a shot at the College World Series.
In speaking to the Associated Press last February, Anderson suggested that the Big Ten break away from the NCAA's February-June schedule to play games over the summer.
"There were four SEC teams in the College World Series last year. We're never going to catch those people," Anderson said. "The system works for them, and they're not going to want to change it. People are going to criticize this idea, but we need to get people talking about it."
Three months later, after a nationally ranked Purdue team showed it could compete with any in the nation on its way to hosting a regional, and as Kent State and Stony Brook were set to take to the field in Omaha, Anderson's statement appeared ill-advised, beyond comprehension.
"Stony Brook and us getting here shoots a lot of holes in that," Kent State's Scott Stricklin said during his pre-College World Series press conference. "Playing summer baseball and not competing for Omaha doesn't make a lot of sense to me at all. That will never happen. That might have been more shock value to get some movement in a positive direction toward northern baseball."
If Anderson's words were to get people talking about northern baseball, the actions of Stricklin's Golden Flashes served to change the tone of that talk to what can be done to help cold weather programs compete with power conferences.
It isn't outside of the realm of possibilities to see another handful of teams duplicate the efforts of Kent State, Purdue, Stony Brook, and Super Regional participant St. John's.
Picked third in the Big East coaches' preseason poll, Notre Dame looks ready to continue a banner year for its athletic teams. Looking to resemble its 2002 College World Series team, the Irish will be powered by a trio of juniors considered likely top-four round draft picks in third baseman Eric Jagielo, first baseman Trey Mancini and right-handed pitcher Dan Slaina.
Down the road in Terre Haute, the Indiana State Sycamores look to build off of a 41-19 2012 season that ended in the Eugene Regional with a veteran team led by arguably the top draft prospect in junior left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea. Minnesota is led by a pair of top left-handed pitchers: D.J. Snelten and Tom Windle. Both could go off the draft board within the first 100 picks and are a 1-2 punch that give the Gophers a chance every weekend.
And don't forget about those Flashes. Though Stricklin will need to replace his catcher, shortstop and two-thirds of his weekend rotation from the 2012 team, one area scout believes Kent State will have a better team in 2013.
Programs throughout the region have the pieces to make strong postseason runs. Aiding their efforts in charting that course is the NCAA. The 2013 season will see changes to the RPI formula, a tool used by the selection committee in selecting the NCAA tournament field. A team's winning percentage is the first component of the formula and is worth 25%. Starting this season, road wins will be worth 1.3 victories, neutral-site wins will remain worth 1.0 victories, and home wins will be worth 0.7 victories. A home loss will count as 1.3 losses, and road losses will count as 0.7.
For weather-restricted programs that spend the opening five weeks of the season on the road in warmer climates, moving away from a formula that weighs home and road wins equally is welcomed.
Beyond the RPI changes and the Universal Start Date, now in its fifth season, programs throughout the Ohio Valley and Rust Belt are taking matters into their own hands to compete.
Going forward, Anderson's Gophers will play on a renovated Siebert Field, a $7.5 million stadium project. Indiana will open the doors to Bart Kaufman Field, the new Hoosier home that is part of a $19.8 million complex. Following its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1987, Purdue will play games at its new Alexander Field, a stadium that is part of a $21 million project.
The financial commitment isn't restricted to the Big Ten, as Miami University will enhance its McKie Field at Hayden Park with a $2.4 million facility add-on. Southern Illinois University's Board of Trustees has approved the development of the design and bid documents for a renovation of its Abe Martin Field. Spurred by their College World Series appearance, Kent State will enhance its Olga A. Mural Field at Schoonover Stadium with upgrades that include lights.
It would not be just to say northern programs are just now showing meaningful commitment; if that were the case Indiana would not have incurred a 2008 travel expense of $171,422 as part of $1,117,627 in total expenses. By comparison, the last financial data provided to the NCAA from nearby University of Kentucky, a program from the powerful Southeastern Conference that at one point in 2012 was ranked No.1 by Collegiate Baseball, showed total operating expenses of $1,736,736 in 2011. But northern programs are doing more than ever before and now is a time where their efforts, combined with those rule changes from NCAA, present a brighter, more optimistic future for northern baseball.
Kent State and Stony Brook re-introduced northern baseball to the nation in 2012. The 2013 campaign will be a season for programs throughout to show they're here to stay.

You have 30 days AFTER the date you are served to file a response with the court. The 30 days include weekend days and court holidays. If the last day falls on a day that the court is closed, you have until the next day that the court is open.
Only you can decide if it is in your best interests to respond to the lawsuit or not. It can be very helpful to get advice from a lawyer to decide if, and how, to respond.
If you do not respond
If you do not file a response within 30 days after you were served, the plaintiff can file a form called "Request for Default," which means you have defaulted and can no longer respond to the lawsuit to defend yourself. If there is any part of the case you disagree with, or any amount of money you feel you do not owe, you will not be able to tell the court once you have defaulted.
After a default is entered the plaintiff can ask the court to enter a default judgment against you. The plaintiff can prove his or her case without you disputing what he or she says, and can win up to the amount that he or she asked for in the lawsuit against you.
Then the plaintiff can enforce the judgment against you. This can mean getting money from you by garnishing your paycheck, levying on your bank account, or putting a lien on your house or car. A judgment against you can also show up on your credit report.
You may want to respond when:
You may choose NOT to respond when:
You have no ability to pay and no defense to raise. In these cases, filing a response may result in you owing more money than the original debt. This happens because:
As you can see, whether to respond or not is a very complicated decision to make. The only way to make sure you do what is best for you in your particular situation is to talk to a lawyer. Some legal aid agencies or bar associations may have lawyers that can help you negotiate with the credit card company or bank and avoid going to court. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Once you decide you are going to respond to the lawsuit, remember, you MUST respond within 30 days from the date you were served with the lawsuit. And you need to decide how to respond since there are several ways you can:
1. You can file an answer or a general denial
2. You can file a motion
In certain situations, you can respond to the lawsuit by filing a motion (a request) that usually tells the court that the plaintiff made a mistake in the lawsuit. Some of the more common motions are:
Talk to a lawyer! A lawyer can answer any questions you may have about what type of response would be best in your case. Each type of response has different legal implications that could even hurt your case in the future, so it is very important you understand all the consequences to what you choose to file. Even if you cannot afford a lawyer to handle your whole case, you may be able to get a consultation for limited guidance on what your best strategy is. Click for help finding a lawyer.
If you decide to file a response, you must file it in the same courthouse where the lawsuit was filed. The address should be on the papers you were served by the plaintiff. Make sure you take your original plus at least 2 copies to the clerk's office to file.
You will have to pay a filing fee to file your papers. If you cannot afford the filing fees, you can ask the court for a fee waiver. If the court approves your fee waiver request, you will not have to pay the fees. But if you win your lawsuit and collect costs from the other side, the court may ask you to pay back the waived fees.
Once you file your response to the plaintiff's lawsuit, you must serve a copy on the plaintiff. You can also serve a copy of your response BEFORE you file the original with the court. Either way, make sure you file your response before the 30 days are up!
To serve the plaintiff with a copy of your response, have someone 18 or older (not you and not involved in the case), mail a copy to the plaintiff. If the plaintiff is represented by a lawyer, a copy of your response gets served on the lawyer. If the plaintiff is self-represented, it gets served on the plaintiff. The person who does this for you must fill out a proof of service by mail form. Then, make sure you file this proof of service form with the court and keep a copy for yourself.
If you have a claim against the plaintiff and you want the court to hear your claim, you have to file a cross-complaint against the plaintiff at the same time you file your answer. If you do not, you will waive your claim. This may also be true for claims against third parties if they are based on the same facts and circumstances as the lawsuit the plaintiff filed against you.
If you are adding new parties to the lawsuit, you will also need to complete a summons for the cross-complaint and have the new parties served with the summons and cross-complaint. You do not need a summons if the only persons you are suing are the ones who are suing you.

Photo gallery: Fangirls at Comic-Con International in San Diego
Full Coverage: Comic-Con 2013 in San Diego
Superhero comics, science fiction movies, action figures: Once upon a time, these were for boys only -- and the largest boy's club for such fans was Comic-Con International in San Diego.
"I remember my very first Comic-Con being a very white-centric, male show," said Jonah Weiland, owner and publisher of ComicBookResources.com, who attended his first Comic-Con in 1991.
But all that is morphing as more and more women are planning to descend on San Diego this weekend for the 44th annual Comic-Con International.
About 40 percent of last year's attendees were women -- or 52,000 out of the 130,000 fans, according to Comic-Con International spokesman Robert Sayler. The figures reflects the rise of fangirls in the fandoms of comics, science fiction, fantasy and all the other forms of pop culture celebrated at the convention.
"We think that a lot of that (change) may have had to do with Japanese anime and manga," which traditionally does more to appeal to female readers, said David Glanzer, director of Comic-Con International.
Melissa D. Aaron, a professor of English and Foreign Languages at Cal Poly Pomona, credits Harry Potter for the public emergence of women into the geek mainstream.
"Harry Potter is very obviously a female fandom, but it crosses all groups and genders," she said.
Aaron teaches an annual class on Harry Potter at the university in which she said women make up two-thirds of each class.
"It's a thing that's going hand-in-hand with the mainstream acceptance for genre culture: superheroes," said Susana Polo, managing editor of TheMarySue.com, which describes itself as "a guide to geek girl culture." "Harry Potter has gotten into mainstream."
Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- who first appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly in 1999, six years before the first Twilight book was published -- and her spiritual descendent Katniss Everdeen of "The Hunger Games" have helped cement female-friendly pop culture in the mainstream consciousness.
"I can't walk outside without seeing someone's hair tinted pastel. That's like the hair colors that are popular in 'The Hunger Games' in the Capitol," Aaron said. "Helen Mirren dyed her pink, good lord."
But the big coming out ceremony for female fandom was arguably the 2005 release of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" novel, its sequels and the movies that became a cultural juggernaut. While there are some male fans of the series, unlike traditional pop culture superheroes, the lead characters in the "Twilight" series are squarely aimed at women, Polo said.
"You put Edward Cullen and Superman next to each other, or Jacob and Batman, you can see how differently they're portrayed," Polo said.
The series was also incredibly divisive in fandom and was perhaps the first sign of a backlash against female fans.
"There's a certain amount of the flak that the Twilight fandom gets because it's targeted at women and made by women," Polo said.
"There are a lot of things in the nerd community that have problematic aspects to them or fall apart under scrutiny, but they are not vilified for it," like Twilight often is, Polo added.
For instance, while vampire fans are boxed into the nerd community, being a fan of the popular film "Underworld," which focuses on the battle between vampires and werewolves, doesn't necessarily mean you're a nerd, Polo said.
The push-back against women in fandom has manifested in recent years with accusation that some female fans are, in fact, "fake geek girls."
"The idea of the 'fake geek girl' started (with a) focus on cosplayers," Polo said. "It can be 'Oh, she must only be dressing up like that because it's a skimpy costume, and she wants to get male attention.'"
Cosplayers dress up as their favorite characters from comics, video games and other media. Those sometimes-skimpy costumes, Polo noted, tend to be how the characters dress in their series.
"When a guy walks into a comic book shop, no one questions it," said Ginny McQueen, a professional cosplayer from Los Angeles. "Sometimes, I feel like I have to pull out my credentials, like 'Here's a list of the comics I own.' But that never happens with a guy."
The relative newness of many female fans is also used against them, Polo said.
"A lot of the 'fake geek girl' pressure is leveled against women who are just getting into the fandom," Polo said, "'Oh, it's somebody who just likes 'Scott Pilgrim' or just likes 'The Avengers,' and not whatever they feel is the actual hallmark of being a member of that community. It's very much a community policing thing."
Whatever the boys think, fangirls are now so many in number that they have a girl's club all of their own: the GeekGirlCon convention, each October in Seattle.

Post subject: Free Agents- Wish List
Here is my list of Guys in Fa market or have been released. Let me know what you think. Players to add or should drop from this list.
1. Jamie Sharper at MLB released by Texans - anyone know if he is fast and good for cover 2? He has to be better than Morris. Should be somewhat expensive meaning we cant resign any of our ufa.
2. Ty Law CB released by Pats- long time Nemesis could do us good and train our cbs for 2-4 years along with helping Manning out.
3. Simon at DT from Eagles- we would have to give up alot possibly James for him. I like what he does on the field and He's from Syracuse. We generally like Syracuse players.
4. Tommy Polly LB from Rams- I know i enjoyed him on my fant team last year but is he ilb or olb? Would cost us as much as Morris but faster and bigger.
5. Renaldo Hill CB from Cards- had 47 tackles last year, good size, and 4 years experience and from Mich St. Love a Big Ten Secondary. Get M. Jackson in draft.
6. Lenny Walls CB from Broncos- amazingly tall with potential but a restricted FA
7 .Dewayne Washington CB from Jags- released 10 year vet, good size 77 tackles last year
8. Rocky Calmus MLB from Titans- Restricted FA, always hear his name when watching titan vs colts games. Great College Player.
9. Andre Dyson CB from Titans- Would be improvement on any of our CBs but not a long term answer. I think he is asking for alot.
10. Akin Ayodele WLB from Jags- RFA, Former Purdue Player and a strong consistant player would love to have him but cant see Jags not resigning him.

1. I believe Sharper would be great in our scheme. His SB experience would be a plus. I would break the bank for him but I think we only have room for him if Edge goes
2. Cant make this call til he is healthy
3. Simon would be at top of my list. He can reportedly be gotten for a 2 and a 3 spread over two years. His asking price on a new contract is astronomical apparently. He is an upfield pentrating disruptive DT. Perfect for our DT. I would give up Edge but I dont think the Eagles want Edge because of cost to sign him up. Eagles are pretty careful in terms of capology.
4. Polley is quick. Theoretically a perfect fit. I am not sure he has shown much at pro level. Would be good addition at right price. might excel due to change in scenery and system. I am lukewarm on him unless price is right. I think we can do as well in draft if we want LB depth. Not sure if he could play inside for us.
5. Dont know enough about him but know if they are picking players in order to get "an all Big 10" backfield . . . we are in BIG trouble. Hopefully they have more pertinent criteria to judge players on.
6. Pass
7. Pass
8. pass
9. will be outpriced for us
10. I would rather see us sign a SS backer and move Thornton back to the glory side where we know he can excel. improve two positions with one signing.

Sharper and Polley head my list. The fact that they remain unsigned also helps - the longer it goes, the better for us I think.
Law is not worth what he would ask. There is no other FA CB I think is worth signing.

thanks for the input!!!
that means we have to draft a CB the frist round. I would agree with that. A first round CB does get expensive in 4 years though. Any chance we resign harper?

first, if you know for a fact we cant afford it, why are you asking all over the site how much cap room we have?
Second, we could afford any of these free agents we wanted if we do trade Edge. OR quite frankly if we signed him to a long term deal. That would lower his cap hit this year but I think they cant afford the up front amount and are loathe to commit long term until the stadium deal is final, which might be some time this coming season . . . allowing them to rework his deal during the season.
I think there was some guess by Bob Kravits in the Indy Star over the last couple weeks if you want to look it up. Earlier in the offseason Clayton listed the cap room of each team. Those things change almost daily this time of year so any figure you find may or may not be accurate by the time you read it.

GPD: Woman arrested after putting child in headlock
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 9:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 9:12 a.m.
A woman who put her friend's daughter in a wrestling headlock was arrested on a child abuse charge Tuesday evening, Gainesville police Lt. Mike Schibuola said.
Cherry Smith, 33, was charged with one count of child abuse and one count of resisting an officer with violence following an incident that was reported about 6:36 p.m.
Smith was at the home of a friend when she became intoxicated and put the friend's four-year-old daughter in a "double nelson headlock" that was hurting the girl, police reported.
Police took Smith into custody and, while she was being searched, she tried to kick one of the officers, Schibuola said.

At 150-Day Countdown, London Embarks On Final Major Pre-Summer Olympics Test
By Barry Janoff
February 29, 2012: With 150 days to go until the 2012 Summer Olympics, organizers of the London Games are preparing to test various elements of both on- and off-field play in anticipation of the main event.
The test run will be of particular interest to local, national and international security departments in light of the unrest that swept through London and other British cities last summer.
From April 18-May 8, the London Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, will test "elements including venue operations, spectator flows, workforce, security, the field of play, scoring, timing and results" as part of a 42-event London Prepares series.
The Summer Games will be held from July 27-Aug. 12. The Paralympic Games will be held from Aug. 29-Sept. 9.
"We are now in the home straight and, having staged 31 successful test events, we are in a good position as we head towards the Games themselves," Debbie Jevans, London 2012 Director of Sport, said in a statement. "As with all our test events, we will be testing a range of our event operations including field of play and also our workforce."
As part of the London Prepares series, Olympic marketers are also making their final preparations. No surprise there as companies are expected to spend in excess of $1 billion in sponsorship, marketing and activation by the end of the 2012 Games.
"We are now in the home straight . . . we are in a good position as we head towards the Games themselves." — Debbie Jevans
Global IOC partner Visa, for example, is sponsoring five of the six test sports events scheduled from May 2-8. Other top-tier partners will also have activation.
In addition to Visa, worldwide IOC partners include Coca-Cola, Acer, Atos, Dow Chemical, GE, McDonald's, Omega, Panasonic, P&G and Samsung.
Top-tier partners of the LOCOG are adidas, BMW, BP, British Airways, BT, EDF and Lloyds.
Many of the events will take place in Olympic Park, one of the key sites for the Summer Games. LOCOG will pay particular attention to Saturday, May 5, when Olympic Park is expected to host upward of 80,000 visitors over the course of the day.
Included in the events will be soccer, synchronized swimming, water polo, shooting, wheelchair tennis and wheelchair rugby.
In addition, the British Swimming Championships 2012 (Selection Trials) will be held March 3–10 at the Olympic Park Aquatics Centre.
"This will be invaluable," said Jevans.

Sometimes eye doctors need only to make slight adjustments to lenses to help one's vision improve. Scientists on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's SHARAD (shallow radar) team asked spacecraft engineers to roll the orbiter about 25 degrees. By doing so, the radar team has managed to obtain even higher sensitivity from the instrument as it is shown in the "after" image. The team does not expect to perform these spacecraft rolls routinely but they will not miss the chance if one comes along to "see" these mysterious areas better than before.

Ship Weight:0.25 All Terrain Poison Ivy Bar All Terrain Poison Ivy Bar is ideal for treatment of poison ivy and poison oak. One of the risks of living an outdoor lifestyle is rubbing up against something that rubs back with a vengeance. Don't worry. All Terrain has the perfect poison ivy treatment for you, All Terrain Poison Ivy Bar. All Terrain Poison Ivy Bar is specifically formulated to help relieve itchiness and support healing from poison ivy, poison oak and/or poison sumac. About All Terrain All Terrain's products use only natural ingredients, but are formulated for hard-core use. They are field-tested to ensure satisfaction for All Terrain's passionate, high-performance customer. Now you can enjoy that expedition, family camping trip, day hike, kayaking, gardening or day at the beach without having to use harsh chemical products to protect you from the sun, insects and whatever nature throws at you. There is a direct correlation to time you spend outdoors and your health. The activity you do is important, but may not be as critical as just being outside. It's not just the exercise, but also the fresh air, the nourishing environment and simply getting away from the day-to-day stress. All Terrain wants to help you enjoy the outdoors in a healthy way, which is why they make natural products for the outdoors. All Terrain also welcomes you to help raise awareness of environmental issues and to get involved in protecting the environment. The environment isn't just the oceans, mountains or national parks. It is also our local surroundings - our neighborhoods, towns, parks and trails. Protecting available space is important. Outdoor trends indicate a significant increase in local activities compared to extended "backcountry" adventures. Given this trend, our local environment becomes even more important in our lives. It also offers an easier opportunity to contribute. We can make a difference locally and even if it's small in scale, the cumulative affect will be significant. As a maker of natural products for the outdoors, All Terrain believes you should get the most out of your outdoors lifestyle without risking your health or gear with harsh chemical outdoors products. After all, there are plenty of natural products that can be used to enjoy the environment. All Terrain's Company Mission All Terrain's primary mission is to sell quality "Natural Remedies for Outdoor Enthusiasts." Environmentally conscious, All Terrain's products have all natural ingredients and their packaging is made from recycled material, recyclable and/or biodegradable. All Terrain strives in the long-term to operate in a "net zero consumption" manner. An equally important mission is to increase awareness of environmental issues and to promote environmental conservation so that future generations can enjoy the same natural beauty we enjoy. All Terrain circulates a newsletter, Tread Softy, which discusses environmental topics and suggests how one can optimize their outdoor experience while minimizing the impact. All Terrain partners with like-minded retailers, its Environmental Partners, to increase awareness and education.

Milwaukee, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - The Milwaukee Brewers will be without Jean Segura for their final two games before the All-Star break, as the starting shortstop has left the team to travel to his native Dominican Republic following the death of his nine-month-old son.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke delivered the tragic news to reporters shortly following the team's 7-6 loss to St. Louis on Friday, after which the team closed the clubhouse to the media.
"There's been a death in one of the families of one of our players, so I don't want to answer questions," Roenicke said without mentioning the player's name at the time. "For respect of him right now, we're not going to let anybody in the clubhouse. Sorry, but these things are tough and I just don't want to leave any players open to anything."
Milwaukee then placed Segura on the bereavement list on Saturday and recalled utilityman Elian Herrera to take his place on the active roster.
It is yet unclear as to whether Segura will return to the Brewers for the club's first game following the break, which is scheduled for next Friday in Washington. Jeff Bianchi will start at shortstop for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.
Segura earned a spot on the 2013 National League All-Star team last season and finished the year with 12 home runs, 49 RBI, 44 stolen bases and a .294 batting average. The 24-year-old was hitting just .232 in 2014, though his 15 steals ranked second on the team.

Very nicely located in the heart of Nice.
The room is ok, clean and tidy, but very simple. The apartment is situated nicely, close to the beach and a couple of shops, and in 20 mins of walking along the sea side you are in the city center.
Unfortunately we had a problem with the shower drain being blocked, which was not fixed during the two days we stayed there.
The apartment complex can be a bit noisy at times, with the only window going to the inner courtyard.
Overall the location made up for the apartment's shortcomings!
The studio that we rented in Nice was fully as expected - clean, located very central. All in all it was a great stay
Salvatore's place is such a space-efficient, clean space in Nice - only a 5 minute walk from the main train station, and about 20 minutes walk to the parts of Nice you want to see (Old Town, Parc du Chateau, the beaches, the markets, etc). Salvatore and his assistant were very accommodating and open to any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were super easy and super smooth. Next time I'm in Nice, I'll surely be staying here! Thanks, Salvatore
A really nice appartment - very spaceous, modern and clean with a well equipped kitchen, and very nice bathrooms. The location is convenient for both restaurants and shopping. Loved the fact, that we had free WIFI. The only minus were some traffic noise, when the windows were open. We enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again. Thanks to Salvatore, who was really helpful.
Appartement certes refait à neuf mais sans doute rapidement : porte battante de la salle de bains qui ne tient pas, portant de serviettes idem. Un fauteuil usager qui tient grâce à des vis qui tombent régulièrement. Pas assez d'ustensiles (casseroles, etc..) pour cuisiner. Pas de lampe de chevet dans le coin couchage et enfin des blattes !
Par ailleurs, la personne avec laquelle, j'avais un contact avant mon arrivée, ne m'a pas prévenue qu'elle enverrait un cousin pour me transmettre les clés.
Enfin, une odeur particulièrement écoeurante dans l'ascenseur et lorsque l'on se trouve sur le balcon.
Nous étions chez Salvatore en mai dernier; le studio était petit et propre . Il a fallu déboursé 20 euros pour obtenir la literie et les serviettes.....pas très pratique. Il faut également amener son sèche-cheveux. Le studio est très près de la promenade des anglais.
Very nice apartment and flexible host! Thank you!
Studio is small, but clean and a good value for money for one - two person. Beach is 5 min away and a velo station just downstairs. Thera are many food stores around and one is just in front of the house. What is really missing is an air-conditioner-;)
Cute, cozy studio in a great location close to the main streets of Nice and not far from many great restaurants. Salvatore was easy to communicate with and had his assistant waiting to meet us when we reached the apartment. Only comments are that it would be nice to include some basic amenities with the apartment, such as towels, sheets, hand soap, or toilet paper. The shower was a bit leaky, and no extra towels made it difficult to clean up. We still enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Marcia - from Johnstown, PA
When determining which size cake to make, you need to consider two things: A) who will be cutting the cake – the caterer/banquet hall, or the folks at the table. A caterer will cut the cake into wedding size portions, so 6-in. is large enough. B) You also need to consider how the cake will look on the table. A 6-in. cake might look skimpy on the table, though with the number of cakes you talk about, it appears like you'll be putting more than 1 cake on a table – then 6-in. is perfect. The cakes can be made up to 3 months in advance, then frozen. You can freeze them without icing, crumb coated or completely iced with buttercream. Fondant should not be frozen, so you shouldn't attach the fondant decorations. Good luck!

Inspire your daughter to become an architect by buying her an "I Can Be" Barbie doll this holiday season. For about $30 on Amazon, you can buy her a present that could put her on the path toward medical school: I Can Be Doctor Barbie. But you can pay less still to get your daughter thinking about a career in architecture: $20 for I Can Be Architect Barbie, or $15 for I Can Be African-American Architect Barbie.
So what gives, Mattel? According to Emily Oster over at Slate, the price differential is probably not Mattel's fault, at least not directly. The difference has less to do with the product itself, and more to do with what you're willing to pay for the doll.
If it were simple economics, she says, the extra five dollars that you pay for a white Architect Barbie would signal to the consumer that this Barbie is a superior product. In reality, of course, it's almost exactly the same doll, aside from the difference in skin color—and what the buyer is willing to pay for it. (Different prices for Barbies of different races isn't a new phenomenon. ABC News slammed Walmart for selling white Barbies for more than black Barbies in 2010.)
"Richer people, on average, are going to be willing to spend more for a Barbie," Oster writes. "Knowing this, Barbie's distributors would ideally like to base the price of any Barbie on the buyer's income."
In Oster's piece, she looks at the various Barbie occupations and the pricing discrepancies between the different dolls. I Can Be a Magician Barbie costs $12.99 on Amazon, whereas I Can Be a Doctor Barbie costs $32.91, she notes. Architect Barbie, touting her blueprints and hardhat, falls somewhere between a doll with a magic wand and a doll with a stethoscope, pricewise. (Currently, the Doctor Barbie doll is listed at $29.99 on Amazon.)
After ruling out pricier accessories, Oster attributes the price tag difference to price discrimination. "People are often willing to pay different prices for the same products, either because they have more money to spare, or because they really like the product more," she writes. "Companies know this, and would like to take advantage of it. If they can just identify those consumers who will pay more, and charge them more, it's good for their bottom line."
(Mattel, the Barbie manufacturer, could not comment on the manufacturer's suggested retail price for either Architect Barbie doll, as they are both currently out of stock.)
Finding those big spenders, it turns out, isn't all that difficult, Oster says. Just look for the people with the biggest paychecks. Computer Engineer Barbie retails on Amazon for $31.95, and that's no accident.
Of course, there are other explanations for price variance, such as the number of dolls left in stock and the seller's desired profit—but what's really at play here is the perception of architecture as a profession. The architect dolls aren't flying off the shelves because it's not as glamorous or as lucrative of a profession. So how do retailers make sure they can unload those less desirable dolls? They lower the price.
Amanda Hurley writesweaetxdyvaydzcwq in ARCHITECT that "only 16 percent of the AIA's membership is female." Statistics like that don't scream opportunity for women; not to mention the staggering unemployment rate in the field.
Toys'R'Us, one of Barbie's top retailers, says it all in its description of the Barbie product:
Barbie® is a reflection of the times and always culturally relevant. Barbie® is the world's only brand that allows girls to imagine themselves as a mermaid to a movie star, a fairy to a fashionista, and a princess to a president … The Barbie® brand serves a purpose to girls as they try on different personalities, careers, and explore the world and all of its possibilities without ever having to leave home!
Diversifying the profession and attracting young talent means making the architectural profession appealing to both boy and girls from every race and background, even from a young age. Girls especially need to be shown that a hard hat can look just as good as a stethoscope.

Disney Taking Legal Action Against Deadmau5 Over Logo
Listen to Deadmau5 Radio on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Deadmau5 is now in a legal brawl with Disney over whether his famous headgear is too similar to its logo - but the DJ says the Mouse House hasn't made a squeak about this for a decade, reports TMZ.
TMZ reports that in documents filed Tuesday ... Disney claims Deadmau5's logo is too similar to their famous Mickey ears, and they're trying to block him from getting a trademark in the U.S.
Of course, Deadmau5 has been wearing his mouse mau5 head costume for 10 years now - and his attorney Dina LaPolt tells TMZ he already has a trademark for it in 30 other countries ... including Japan, Germany, Italy and the U.K.
Deadmau5 applied through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last year.
In the docs, Disney states its ears have been a thing for more than 60 years, and says granting Deadmau5 the trademark would damage its business in the U.S. and around the world.
But Deadmau5 doesn't seem bothered by Disney's filing ... he tells TMZ he won't be bullied, and is prepared to fight to protect his rights to his property.
Expect plenty of ear-say if this ends up in court.

Parents Catch Abusive Babysitter, Thanks to Dog
(NEWSER) – A babysitter in South Carolina has confessed to physically abusing a 7-month-old boy in her care—and the child's parents give credit to the loyal family dog. AsWCSC explains, they grew suspicious when their otherwise mellow dog, Killian, started routinely growling at the family's 21-year-old babysitter and standing between her and the child. The parents placed an iPhone under the couch one day to record audio: "It started with cussing," says dad Benjamin Jordan. "Then you hear slap noises and his crying changes from a distress cry to a pain cry."

Windows 8 apps are any software programs that you install on your Windows 8 computer. Many apps can be purchased and downloaded from the Windows 8 Store, and Windows 8 comes with its own pre-installed apps, such as Maps and Calendar.
What are Apps?
Windows 8 provides a seamless experience between mobile and desktop computers. Part of this process involves the introduction of apps.
An app is any software program installed on your computer. For example, in Windows 7, Microsoft Word was a program. In Windows 8, Word is an app that can be accessed through both the Start screen and the Desktop.
Moving between Apps
To move between open apps, use any of the following three methods:
· Press Alt+tab on the keyboard.
· Swipe from the left with your finger (touchscreen).
· With a mouse, click the upper left corner of the screen.
Users can multitask with two apps running on the screen at the same time. One app appears snapped in a strip on the left edge of the screen. The other app fills the rest of the screen.
You can easily resize the apps to make the smaller one big and vice versa.
NOTE: This feature only works on screens that are wide enough to support having two apps side by side (more than 1366 pixels wide).
Closing Apps
Windows 8 apps do not have close buttons. When you change to another app, the previous app is suspended so that it is running in the background using very few system resources. If your system needs resources, Windows automatically closes the apps. When you re-open that app, you can continue where you left off.
If you want to completely close an app, use one of the following methods:
· Move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen. When it changes from an arrow into a hand, drag it down to the bottom of the screen. Your app shrinks and then disappears off the bottom of the screen.
· Press Alt+F4.
· Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to start Task Manager. Click the app in the apps list and click End Task.
Finding and opening files, settings, and apps
You can search for anything from the Start screen by typing on the keyboard. For example, to search for an HP app, type HP on the keyboard. A list of all HP apps displays.
You can also search using the Search charm:
1. Press the Windows () + C key to open the charms bar.
Figure 1: Search charm
2. Click Search.
Figure 2: Searching for an app
3. Type the name of the app you want to open into the Search box, and then click your item in the search results to open it.
