A deposition of the plaintiff's psychotherapist or the inspection of the plaintiff's counseling records may produce relevant information regarding any emotional distress suffered by the plaintiff from whatever cause. From the defense perspective, the discovery may show that the plaintiff suffered little emotional distress, or perhaps suffered emotional distress as a result of something entirely unrelated to the plaintiff's workplace. On the other hand, the plaintiff's interest in maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive psychotherapist communications weighs against such discovery. The courts have not been immune to the difficulty in balancing these competing interests. This article will explore how the courts have interpreted the Massachusetts psychotherapist-patient privilege, Massachusetts General Laws chapter 233, section 20B, and the social-worker-patient privilege, General Laws chapter 112, section 135B, with an emphasis on employment discrimination and harassment cases.
Massachusetts recognizes several privileges by which communications can be protected from disclosure. For example, General Laws chapter 233, section 20 protects spousal and parent-child communications; General Laws chapter 233, section 20A sets forth the clergy privilege; Massachusetts Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6 protects attorney-client communications; General Laws chapter 233, section 23C sets forth the mediator privilege; and General Laws chapter 233, section 20J protects rape counselor communications. Massachusetts also recognizes testimonial privileges between a patient and her psychotherapist (General Laws chapter 233, section 20B) and between a patient and a licensed social worker (General Laws chapter 112, section 135B).
A "psychotherapist" is defined to include a person licensed to practice medicine "who devotes a substantial portion of his time to the practice of psychiatry." It also includes a licensed psychologist, a graduate of or a student enrolled in a doctoral degree program in psychology working under the supervision of a licensed psychologist, and a psychiatric nurse.2 Under the statute, "communications" includes "conversations, correspondence, actions and occurrences relating to diagnosis or treatment before, during or after institutionalization, regardless of the patient's awareness of such conversations, correspondence, actions and occurrences, and any records, memoranda or notes of the foregoing."
While "communications" are protected by the psychotherapist-patient and social worker-patient statutes, certain evidence related to the communications is outside the scope of the privilege and is discoverable. So, for example, the identity of any treating psychotherapist, the dates of the communications and the costs of treatment are not privileged.3
The psychotherapist-patient and social worker-patient privileges are not absolute.4 Both statutes contain express exceptions where a patient has placed her mental and emotional condition at issue as part of her claim and where the interests of justice require the production of such information. Specifically, General Laws chapter 233, section 20B(c) and General Laws chapter 112, section135B(c) both provide in pertinent part:
The privilege granted hereunder shall not apply to any of the following communications:
(c) in any proceeding ... in which the patient introduces his mental or emotional condition as an element of his claim or defense, and the judge or presiding officer finds that it is more important to the interests of justice that the communications be disclosed than that the relationship between patient and (psychotherapist/social worker) be protected.
Under this statutory framework, the issue of whether the plaintiff's counseling communications and records are discoverable depends largely on the trial court's determination of whether the plaintiff has introduced his mental or emotional condition, and whether the plaintiff's right to confidentiality is outweighed by the "interests of justice." Not surprisingly, the application of this balancing test has led to inconsistent results.
The federal courts also recognize a psychotherapist-patient privilege. Recognition of the federal privilege traces to the United States Supreme Court case of Jaffee v. Redmond.5 Unlike the Massachusetts privilege, however, the federal privilege is not subject to a balancing test. The Jaffee Court expressly rejected the application of an after-the-fact balancing test to determine whether the privilege should be overridden by the evidentiary needs of the party seeking disclosure. The Court reasoned that "[m]aking the promise of confidentiality contingent upon a trial judge's later evaluation of the relative importance of the patient's interest in privacy and the evidentiary need for disclosure would eviscerate the effectiveness of the privilege."6 The analysis under Jaffee and its progeny, while helpful, is of limited relevance given the express exceptions contained in the Massachusetts statutes and the balancing test required by those statutes.
The approach from the bench
Neither the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court nor the Appeals Court have addressed this issue in the context of civil, rather than criminal, actions.7 As a result, there is little current guidance from the appellate courts applying the balancing test required by General Laws chapter 233, section 20B(c) and General Laws chapter 112, section 135B(c). Several Massachusetts Superior Court decisions have addressed the psychotherapist-patient privilege issue with inconsistent results. Only two of these cases involve employment-related claims. In Guimares v. Del Prete, the plaintiff alleged sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and assault and battery against her supervisor and his employer.8 The plaintiff claimed to have suffered irreparable mental and emotional damages directly caused by the alleged misconduct. The defendants sought to compel the production of the plaintiff's treatment records from her physician, gynecologist, cardiologist, psychologist and licensed social worker. Judge Brassard, sitting in the Plymouth Superior Court, rejected the notion of performing an in camera review of the records mindful that "the danger lurking in the practice of … in camera review of privileged documents by the trial judge is a confusion between the roles of a trial judge and defense counsel. The judge is not necessarily in the best position to know what is necessary to the defense."9 Noting that "the plaintiff's mental and physical health is a critical issue placed in issue by the plaintiff herself, and medical records may reveal mental and emotional distress caused by prior, unrelated events," the court ordered production of the records with some important limitations.
First, the records were disclosed to defense counsel "solely in his or her capacity as an officer of the court" during regular business hours at the Brockton Superior Court and under arrangements to be made by the clerk. Second, the court ordered that defense counsel not disclose or disseminate the contents of the records to anyone, including the defendants. Third, the court prohibited photocopying of the records, but permitted counsel to read and make notes concerning the records. Finally, the court prohibited introduction of any portion of the records at trial or in any motion or proceeding without prior application to the court.
In Myers v. Tom Foolery's, Inc., Judge Hilman, sitting in the Worcester Superior Court, denied defendant's motion to compel the testimony of the plaintiff's licensed social worker in a sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress case.10 The plaintiff had testified during her deposition that she had received counseling for reasons unrelated to her employment. Relying on the distinction articulated in Sabree v. United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners11 and McCue v. Kraines12 between "garden-variety" claims of emotional distress and emotional distress claims alleging psychic injury or psychiatric disorder, the court denied the motion to compel with the condition that the plaintiff was foreclosed from calling or referring to the witness. Unfortunately, neither the Myers decision nor the decisions in Sabree or McCue upon which it relies describe the distinction between "garden-variety" claims of emotional distress and claims "alleging psychic injury or psychiatric disorder" in any greater detail.
Several Superior Court decisions have addressed the issue of the psychotherapist-patient privilege in non-employment contexts without a consistent outcome.13 One popular approach to the statutory balancing test is borrowed from the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in Sabree.14 In Sabree, the plaintiff alleged that the defendant union unlawfully denied him membership on the basis of his race in violation of state and federal antidiscrimination laws. He sought damages for lost wages and emotional distress. The union sought an order compelling production of the plaintiff's psychotherapist records. The court held that federal law governed the plaintiff's assertion of the psychotherapist-patient privilege. It further concluded that Sabree's psychotherapist records were not discoverable because he had not placed his mental condition at issue. The court reasoned that Sabree made only "a 'garden-variety' claim of emotional distress, not a claim of psychic injury or psychiatric disorder resulting from the alleged discrimination."
Several Superior Court decisions have cited Sabree for the proposition that psychotherapist-patient communications are privileged when the plaintiff alleges only "garden-variety" emotional distress, as opposed to a more severe claim of "psychic injury or psychiatric disorder."15 The dividing line between "garden-variety" emotional distress and more severe emotional distress claims is not altogether clear. On the one extreme, when the plaintiff alleges simply "emotional distress" or "mental suffering," the claim is typically held to be "garden-variety."16 In those instances, the privilege protects the psychotherapist records and communications, particularly when the plaintiff does not intend to introduce them at trial. On the other extreme, when the plaintiff alleges emotional distress causing "alcohol and substance abuse, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and suicidal ideation,"17 or "irreparable mental damage and extreme impairment of mental health",18 the plaintiff has not alleged "garden-variety" emotional distress. When such claims are raised, the privilege will not likely preclude discovery of psychotherapist-patient communications. A claim of "mental impairment" in the form of an "inability to remember and to function well enough to return to work" is also sufficient to put one's mental or emotional condition at issue.19 Similarly, a claim of "psychological injury which necessitated psychiatric treatment" in a negligence action was sufficient to put the plaintiff's mental and emotional state at issue and require the production of psychotherapist records.20
Another factor often considered by the court is whether the plaintiff intends to make any affirmative use of the privileged evidence, such as introducing psychotherapist records at trial or calling the psychotherapist as a witness. Judge Agnes articulated this consideration in Linscott v. Burns21 and Donovan v. Pressman22 stating:
In a case in which a patient introduces his or her mental or emotional condition as an element of a claim or defense, disclosure of communications between patient and psychotherapist under G.L. c. 233, §20B(c) should not be ordered unless (1) the patient calls the psychotherapist as a witness or introduces evidence of the communication through her own testimony or otherwise, or (2) the party seeking access to the communication makes a specific showing that the truth-seeking function of the trial will be seriously impaired unless a disclosure of the communication is ordered.
Under this analysis, the party seeking to discover psychotherapist-patient communications is entitled to such discovery when the plaintiff plans to use such communications affirmatively. Such affirmative use of privileged communications is effectively a waiver of the psychotherapist-patient privilege. It also is consistent with the notion that the plaintiff should not be able to use the psychotherapist-patient privilege as both a sword to introduce evidence substantiating a claim of emotional distress and a shield to prevent full disclosure of the same evidence.
Common themes and
While the results are not always predictable, the cases, taken together, reveal a number of common themes that Superior Court judges take into consideration when balancing the "interests of justice" with the protection of the psychotherapist-patient or social worker-patient relationship under General Laws chapter 233, section 20B(c) and General Laws chapter 112, section135B(c). These include:
1. What type of emotional distress has the plaintiff claimed?
Is it simple emotional distress or mental suffering, or does the claim rise to the level of mental impairment, cognitive deficiency or psychiatric disorder? The more serious the claim, the more likely the court will permit discovery regarding psychotherapist-patient communications.
2. What are the circumstances of the
psychotherapist-patient communications?
Are the communications related to the plaintiff's employment? Are they temporally distant from the plaintiff's employment. The more distant in time and relation the psychotherapist-patient communications are to the plaintiff's employment, the less likely it is that the discovery will be considered "important to the interests of justice."
3. Is the plaintiff attempting to use the
protected communications as a sword and a shield?
If the plaintiff intends to make affirmative use of the psychotherapist-patient communications or records at trial, the privilege is likely to be deemed waived and the discovery will be permitted. On the other hand, if the plaintiff asserts the privilege to prevent discovery of psychotherapist-patient communications, the plaintiff is likely foreclosed from offering such evidence at trial.
4. If the court permits discovery of counseling records, the confidentiality of those records will be strictly enforced by the court.
In some instances, the records may not be copied without leave of court, and the records are likely to be deemed for attorney's eyes only. The potential boundaries that might be established for disclosure are limited only by the creativity and persuasiveness of counsel.
In this already confusing area, the Supreme Judicial Court's recent decision in Stonehill College v. Mass. Commission Against Discrimination23 relative to the proof required for emotional distress claims in employment discrimination cases may add a further twist and support the discovery of psychotherapist-patient communications and records. In doing so, the decision also raises questions about the continuing vitality of the "garden variety" concept.
In Stonehill College, the court held that the plaintiff must prove emotional distress and causation independent of proof of discrimination or retaliation. An award of emotional distress damages must rest upon a clear factual basis. Further, a sufficient causal connection must be shown between the discrimination and the emotional distress. "Emotional distress existing from circumstances other than the actions of the respondent, or from a condition existing prior to the unlawful act, is not compensable."
A strict application of Stonehill College may require that employers defending employment-related claims be given the opportunity to attempt to meet the plaintiff's proof by discovering evidence related to (1) the existence of the plaintiff's emotional distress and (2) its causes. A plaintiff's psychotherapist records and communications are the most direct and reliable evidence available concerning alleged emotional distress and its causes. Without it, the defense may have little opportunity to show the plaintiff's emotional distress "exists from circumstances other than the actions of the respondent" or from a pre-existing condition, neither of which are compensable under Stonehill College.
In the absence of appellate guidance on the application of the psychotherapist-patient privilege in civil cases, the trial court decisions interpreting the statutory balancing test show a considerable range of results. The results will continue to be driven by the facts and circumstances of each case, including the nature of the emotional distress claim; the nature, timing and content of the psychotherapist-patient communications; and the use intended, if any, by the party seeking to prevent disclosure of psychotherapist communications.

The site belongs to the descendants of the former owner of Fazenda da Bocaina MARIO FERREIRA CAMPOS. The farm had a huge expanse of land that was sold in 1994. The family kept the land in what is now the site of Capon Owl. The house was built by the former owner and maintained by the family to meetings, vacation, meeting with friends, so their maintenance and conservation are very important. We are capricious and careful.
The OWL CAPÃO name was chosen in honor of the former owner, because whenever one of his grandsons had a very smart thing he laughed and said, "This boy is the Owl Capon". As the owl is the symbol of wisdom, the owl Capon is the place of understanding people.
It is a story of old love and our website reflects all this affection.
The region has many tourist attractions and the location is very nice. We decided to share our site with people who like fresh air, hear the birds singing, cooking on the wood stove, the smell of the earth and at the same time having the comfort of swimming in solar heated pool and not have that travel on a dirt road.

I mainly use the Kindle app on a Nexus 7, it's serviceable. I wish there were more font and margin choices but the syncing options for multiple devices is excellent as is the speed of page turns and searches.
I borrow ebooks from the library using a browser and OverDrive. I couldn't get the borrowed ebooks into Bluefire though but I didn't try very hard. I guess you can borrow books directly from within OverDrive, but haven't tried that yet.
The N7 has a screen flickering issue but I noticed if you turn off the wifi, it's gone. Probably interference from the WiFi radio. Not everyone has this, but it's a common topic on discussion boards.
I have many books that I photographed and saved to Google Picasa and the photo app works pretty well as a "reader".
There's no Stanza as there is for iOS, but there is Aldiko and Moon Reader for Android.
I like the N7 because it is "backed" by Google - it gets the latest OS upgrades, works very well with Google services like maps, mail, photos, etc... Great value buy.
Like Martyd, I'm also going to get an OTG cable and Media importer to watch movies off flash drives.

Scotland's unlikely victory over Ireland last Sunday was a major leap forward for them. Not only did it make history - their first back-to-back wins ever in the Six Nations - but it may also go a long way to shaping their future.
After the frills of Hogg, Visser, Maitland and co providing the style, this was the gutsy, bodies on the line performance that cemented the substance. Ireland had over 70 per cent possession and territory; they made clean breaks and beat countless defenders; they had to make just 42 tackles, as supposed to Scotland's 154 - yet they scored only eight points.
At international level, that is extraordinary.
You could point to missed kicks at goal if you wanted, but there's no denying how hungry, tenacious and relentless that Scotland team was.
I watched it and saw many parallels with Saracens. Defence is not just about the individual tackles; it's about having the hunger to bust a gut to get round the corner of the ruck, and then the continued focus and energy to maintain good line speed. Pure physical fitness isn't enough - it has to come from your own hunger and your trust in your team mates' hunger.
The Sarries on-field watch words - discipline, honesty, work rate, humility - capture that. It's the cornerstone of our success in the last three years.
And unsurprisingly, the man who stood out on Sunday is the same man who's part of both teams: captain Kelly Brown.
He made more tackles than anyone else, with 20. And if I had the stats I'd be willing to bet he was involved in more breakdowns than anyone else too.
The sight of him, covered in blood, lifting whatever trophy they've come up with this time, was pretty special.
But anyone who follows Sarries shouldn't be that surprised. Along with our own captain Steve Borthwick, he is our most consistent player. High tackle count, very low missed tackle count, good hands, high turnover count, heavy-duty carries into the heart of the defence, hitting rucks - you name it.
In the 2011 Premiership Final, for example, he made 26 tackles - ten of which were in the nine minutes of add-on time where we couldn't afford to cede an inch. And he made the final, match-winning turnover.
For all the flash of Goode, Ashton, Brits, Tomkins et al, we rely on the likes of Brown to glue everything together, to do the stuff which is unpleasant, and rarely gets any praise - even with your lungs bursting.
Off the pitch though, Kelly is the least ferocious, most humble and quietly spoken guy around.
He gets a lot of attention from journalists not just as national captain, but also because he has always suffered from a stammer which inhibits his public speech. His story of overcoming that stammer, through training and by taking up singing (great voice!), is as likeable and respectable as the man himself.
The Lions plane awaits.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari said being the coach of Kentucky is a 24-hour job and one he doesn't see doing for more than a decade.
"I'd like to live a life after I'm done coaching. I'd like to be alive and happy," Calipari said Friday. "What I don't want to be is a bitter, just a bitter old coach. … I want to be a guy that had a good run, took care of a lot of kids, a staff that all got jobs, everybody benefited by us coming together and my wife and I look back and say, hey, we've done good, we treated people right.
"And if that's the case, I'd be surprised if I'd be here longer than 10 years."
Calipari, 52, is in his third year with the No. 1 Wildcats and says he had a recent conversation with former coach Joe B. Hall, who mentioned that a long run at Kentucky would be 10 years. Hall retired after 13 seasons at age 57.
Calipari and the Wildcats (8-0) head to Indiana today. The Hoosiers (8-0) have won every game by at least 11 in their best start since 2002.
Northern Arizona: Coach Mike Adras resigned with the Lumberjacks 2-7 this season. He was 193-170 in 13 years.
UCLA: Reeves Nelson was dismissed from the team after having been suspended twice by coach Ben Howland for insubordinate behavior.
Pacific 78, UF 73: Jennifer George scored 14 but the visiting Gators (7-3) fell to the host Tigers (4-3), who got 23 from Erica McKenzie.
No. 2 UConn 70, Seton Hall 37: Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Tiffany Hayes and Caroline Doty had 15 apiece as the visiting Huskies (9-0) prepped for a showdown with No. 1 Baylor on Dec. 18.
No. 20 DePaul 75, S.Ill.-Edwardsville 65: Anna Martin and Brittany Hrynko scored 15 apiece as the host Blue Demons (8-1) face No. 7 Tennessee on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
Oklahoma State: Jim Littell, the interim coach since the Nov. 17 plane crash that killed coach Kurt Budke, assistant coach Miranda Serna and two others, was officially named head coach.
Gators sweep: Kelly Murphy had 17 kills as host Florida (27-5) ousted Michigan (22-13) 25-21, 25-13, 27-25 in the NCAA tournament's region semifinals. The Gators will face third-seeded Illinois at 7 tonight.
Penn State falls: UCLA (27-6) swept four-time defending national champion Penn State (25-8) in its NCAA region semifinal in Lexington, Ky., to end the Nittany Lions' record 26-game postseason winning streak. The ninth-seeded Bruins won 25-20, 25-22, 25-21.

2014 NHRA: Al-Anabi Racing Team, 2013 NHRA Mello Yello Top Fuel World Championship Team Featured In H2 Series, 'Rise Of The Machines'
Posted by: newsla on Apr 14, 2014 - 02:14 PM
2014 NHRA: Al-Anabi Racing Team, 2013 NHRA Mello Yello Top Fuel World Championship Team Featured In H2 Series, 'Rise Of The Machines'
The Al-Anabi Racing Team and 2013 NHRA Mello Yello Top Fuel World Champion Shawn Langdon will be featured prominently in an episode of âRise of the Machines,â a 10-part series airing on H2, the team announced today. The âUltimate Dragsterâ episode, featuring Langdon and the team during the final weekend of their quest for the 2013 Top Fuel title, airs on Tuesday, April 15 at 10 p.m. eastern time on H2.
âRise of the Machines,â was shot during the final weekend of the 2013 NHRA season in Pomona, Calif. and Santa Maria, Calif. The majority of the documentary, produced by Windfall Films of London, was shot during the race weekend. In this episode, the viewer takes a guided tour through the anatomy the NHRA-sanctioned Top Fuel dragster with perhaps more detail than ever before revealed.
The episode features Langdon and the Al-Anabi team from the time the team arrived in Pomona to the championship celebration after the team clinched the 2013 title as well as 2012 NHRA Mello Yello Top Fuel World champion Antron Brown and his MATCO Tools teamâs quest for a come-from-behind championship in seasonâs the final weekend. While the focus is on the cars driven by these two World Champions, the episode also delves into the psyche of NHRA competition and what it takes for these 8,000 horsepower machines to routinely reach 320 mph from a standing start in less than four seconds.
âIt was really an honor for the Al-Anabi Racing Team to be featured in an international broadcast like âRise of the Machines,ââ Langdon said. âWe are all looking forward to seeing it this week especially since we are part of the show. When we shot it out in Pomona last fall, it was such a big race for our team with so many things going on, everything really went by quickly. It will be really neat to see it on H2 and hopefully, it will reach a lot of people who arenât familiar with the Al-Anabi Racing Team or NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing. Maybe we can show people how exciting our sport is and what it takes to make these cars go more than 300 mph on a regular basis. Hopefully, we can get some new fans interested in our sport and the technology that makes it all work.â
âRise of the Machinesâ is described on the H2 website: âIt is 2014 and the machines have not taken overâ¦yet. The newest, most technologically advanced series from H2â¢, Rise of the Machines, reveals how the inventions behind the worldâs most extreme machines have enabled them to evolve beyond humanityâs wildest imagination. This visually stunning series uses mind-blowing CGI animations to reveal the extraordinary engineering at the heart of the worldâs most extreme machines. From the worldâs biggest mega truck to the worldâs fastest train to a revolutionary heavy-lift ship, ground breaking CGI animation explodes the machines apart to reveal the ingenious inventions hidden under their skin that enables the teams who drive, fly and sail them to be at the top of their game. This series takes us inside these machines in close up detail and explores what helps these elite ships, trucks, trains and aircrafts rise above all others.â
âUltimate Dragsterâ is also described on the H2 website: âStunning CGI animation explodes open the fastest accelerating vehicle on the planet--the Top Fuel Dragster--to reveal the extraordinary technology it uses to propel it to speeds over 500km/hr. In Pomona, California, the world's fastest dragsters are battling it out in the final of the NHRA World Championships. Leading them all is the astonishing Al-Anabi Top Fuel dragster. But can its driver, Shawn Langdon, hold onto his advantage and win the championship? At critical moments, we will uncover the engineering breakthroughs and reveal the extraordinary lessons from history and nature that helped this lightning-fast vehicle evolve: What connects an ancient Chinese war machine with the dragster's extraordinary acceleration? How did a 20 million year-old flying squirrel inspire a high performance brake? And how does the structure of bamboo keep Shawn safe in a crash?â
âUltimate Dragsterâ is one of 10 one-hour documentaries that make up the âRise of the Machinesâ series. Those that have already aired are âSuper Airship,â âMega Truck,â âSuper Ship,â â800 Ton Diggerâ and âHeavyweight Helicopter.â After âUltimate Dragsterâ airs, three more episodes will finish the series: âAircraft Carrier,â âSuper Jumboâ and âIce Crawler.â
The series is airing throughout the world. In the United States, âRise of the Machinesâ airs on H2 on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. eastern time. The series was filmed by a single four-to-six person crew in the United States, Canada, Singapore, Mexico, Italy and Germany. For additional information about H2 and the âRise of the Machinesâ franchise, please visit: http://www.history.com/shows/rise-of-the-machines
Al-Anabi Racing operates out of multiple locations in both the United States and Qatar. In the United States, the Brownsburg, Ind.-based operation is a two-car NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series team that is managed by Alan Johnson Racing. Sheikh Khalidâs initiative has created increased international awareness of the State of Qatar while highlighting the nationâs international sports outreach. Alan Johnson is a 15-time NHRA champion in various capacities including crew chief, team owner and team manager.

text: Hi Guys, I've had this problem ever since having my 54 plate B6 Audi 1.9 TDi AVF 130bhp PD A4 Avant. It's always been a poor runner for the first 5-10seconds of a COLD start. Never does the issue occur after a warm start or even if the car was used say in the morning and you use it in the afternoon. It's ALWAYS when left overnight. Right...symptoms are.... Car Starts fine, no problem cranking etc....but once fired it runs very rough idle and quite noisy for about 5-10secs. If you rev the car, it sounds quite noisy (i almost would call it "tapety") and if you pull away sometimes it very easily stalls. The car ALWAYS with these rough starts, chucks out copious amounts of black smoke (which even this morning I thought looked a tiny bit blue - if that makes any difference) This only happens at rough starts, don't get any black smoke on warm starts and no black smoke even when booting it or running it normally. It's a very un smokey TDI otherwise. What I have done so far: 1. Replace glow plugs with bosch ones (this helped with a poor crank in the cold weather) 2. Had a full service, air filter, pollen filter, fuel filter and oil filter and oil change 3. Had the alternator pulley changed as this was knacered 4. Had the Coolant Temp Sender changed as knacered 5. Put injector cleaner through the car once (the good stuff) 6. Had the EGR valve and manifold cleaned (not that dirty anyway) but cleaned nonetheless. 7. Battery has been checked, running about 75% and recommendation this probably should be changed (get the brake warning light sometimes in the cold which is related to poor battery) 8. Had the electronic engine mount changed as this was throwing an error 9. VAG com shows NO errors at all. So what other things could be a problem? Battery for sure could be a cause Possibly the injector loom but my understanding is this would throw up on VAG com (havn't had it checked as such physically) Mechanic thinks the DMF could be showing signs of going, but not sure this could cause rough starts Any help on this really appreciated....I really can't get to the bottom of it. I have done an awful lot to try and diagnose but don't seem to be any better off. The things above have helped, it's not quite as bad as it use to be but still obvious. It also seems to be worse in cold weather but it isn't always the case. It's almost like a fuel starvation issue...... Cheers for reading! Rich

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? The Secrets of Your Fave Nickelodeon Stars
Back in the old days of showbiz, stars of children's entertainment vanished without a trace. Now however, Nickelodeon turns out more big stars than American Idol (Fact: Nobody really knows what happened to Sanjaya) though not everyone STAYS a star.
Here are some of our favorites from when we were kids, and where they are now.
Be sure to read the whole list – there are some unexpected choices…

JUDY WOODRUFF: For more on all this, we're joined from Oslo by Finn Hagensen of Reuters — he's been covering the story today in the center of the city and on the island where the shooting occurred — and Anders Tvegard of Norwegian Public Broadcasting.
We thank you both.
And I'm going to go to you first, Finn Hagensen, in Oslo.
What is the latest that's known on the casualties, dead and injured?
FINN HAGENSEN, Reuters: Yes.
What they are telling about what happened out on the island, they have so far said that there are 10 casualties at the island, but they are not ruling out that there can be some more people that are being killed out there.
They have even found some bomb-like items out there. And they are searching, still searching the area. And they are fearing that the death tolls from the island will arise. Here in Oslo, they have so far counted seven deaths. And that is probably not going to rise, yes, further.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And perhaps 100 or more wounded?
FINN HAGENSEN: Oh, yes, a lot of people, some seriously wounded. There are in hospitals now like 10 people severely wounded.
But there is a lot of people that made themselves to the hospitals and were not that, well, hard injured actually. But there have been hundreds. I came to the place just after the bomb went off. And I met a lot of people just running towards me with blood — blood running from their faces and wounds other places on their bodies, in shock.
It was — it was an unbelievable scene, actually. It's — yes, this is a really sad day in Norway.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Finn Hagensen, the police at this point have a suspect in custody, just one?
FINN HAGENSEN: Yes, there is one guy. He was seen in Oslo. The bomb exploded local time 3:30. Two hours later, the same guy, they believe, came up to this island and was taken by boat out to the — to this small island.
The island is actually owned by the Social Democratic youth organization. They are having a traditional youth camp there. Every year, they had — it's the same. And the prime minister usually visits the island. I was there to cover sort of the political happenings there. And we left the island only two hours before the shooting started.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And are police — what are police saying about the suspect, who he is, what the motive might have been?
FINN HAGENSEN: They have no motive, and they have not released very much information about him. He's 32 years old. He's a white Norwegian guy. Police have been asked, is he known by the police from before? But they have said, we don't comment on that yet.
So, the only thing I know about this guy is what I said, 32 years old, white Norwegian guy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And do the police say they're still looking for others?
FINN HAGENSEN: Yes.
Out at the island, they have counted 10 casualties, and — but they are not ruling out that there will be some more. But it's getting — it's dark here in Norway now. It will be in a few hours until the lights come — comes up again. But they are still working out at the island. It's 40 — 40 minutes from Oslo.
JUDY WOODRUFF: I meant looking for any other suspects.
FINN HAGENSEN: Oh, OK. I'm sorry.
Yes, they are investigating this now. They are not ruling out anything. We have asked the police, of course, is this the only suspect? But they say, we don't know. This is the only guy that they have caught so far. But they are not ruling out that there may be some more.
But he could be a loner. They haven't ruled that out either. So everything will be speculations, but, so far, this is the only suspect.
JUDY WOODRUFF: All right. I will turn now to Anders Tvegard here with me in Washington. You are based here for Norwegian television.
Tell me about this camp. It is a political camp for teenagers. What sort of place is it?
ANDERS TVEGARD, Norwegian Public Broadcasting: Well, it's an annual camp. Young people, teenagers come together. They are — have a political background. It's the kind of the youth organization of the Labor Party, which is now in government, which has the prime minister.
They come there, listen to people talk, give them speeches. It's political known persons coming, joining this camp. They are there for several days, having fun like young people do. And then you have this carnage when somebody comes up, starts killing teenagers.
JUDY WOODRUFF: I have to ask you. To see the sort of devastation we saw in Oslo at the government building in that area, and to have so far seven casualties, it's remarkably small. Is that because it's a quiet time of year?
ANDERS TVEGARD: Well, it's holiday in Norway at the moment. A lot of people are off work. And, also, on a Friday evening at 3:00, people tend to go off work early.
So the speculation is that, at first, who did this? Was it somebody who didn't know about how the Norwegian society works, or was it somebody who wanted to scare us, not causing too many casualties? Obviously, from what we are hearing now, with having the same person going to this youth camp, there must be some kind of political motivation behind this. He wanted to go into the soul of the Norwegian people.
JUDY WOODRUFF: What sort of history does your country have with terrorist incidents of any kind?
ANDERS TVEGARD: We haven't had any terrorist attacks on Norwegian soil for many years. I mean, this is the bloodiest attack since World War II. But there have been a lot of threats to Norway because we are part of NATO. We have forces in international military operations.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Afghanistan, Libya.
ANDERS TVEGARD: And Libya.
And we are also meddling peace — doing peace facilitation, which can make us targets. We have been on Sri Lanka. We have been in Haiti, Sudan, lots of — lots of places talking to people which not necessarily — necessarily share our views on that.
JUDY WOODRUFF: As you look at these pictures of your home country, what is it — what comes to your mind?
ANDERS TVEGARD: I'm saddened to see the report you just had here. I live 10 minutes walking distance from the prime minister's office.
And this is a lively part of Oslo. And knowing that Norway has been attacked by somebody, it's hard to understand. I — all my friends in Norway are still in shock. There will be some hard days to come. And we are not sure how to deal with this at the moment. And there are so many unanswered questions. Why did he do this? Was he alone? Is it part of an international terror organization? Which the police says, probably not. But, still, how can people go to bed tonight?
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, that's a very good question. How can people go to bed tonight?
Anders Tvegard joining us here in Washington, Finn Hagensen joining us from Oslo, we want to thank both of you. And our condolences to you and to your countrymen.
ANDERS TVEGARD: Thank you.

Long (finance)
In finance, a long position in a financial instrument, means the holder of the position owns a positive amount of the instrument. It is contrasted with going short.
In terms of a security, such as a stock or a bond, or equivalently to be long in a security, means the holder of the position owns the security and will profit if the price of the security goes up. Going long[1] a security is the more conventional practice of investing.
Going long in a future means the holder of the position is obliged to buy the underlying instrument at the contract price at expiry. The holder of the position will profit if the price of the underlying instrument goes up, as the price at the contract was lower.
An options investor goes long by buying call options or put options on it.
Different from going long in securities or futures contract, a long position in an option does not necessarily mean that the holder will profit if the price of the underlying instrument goes up. Going long in an option gives the right (but not obligation) for the holder to exercise it.

Im Very Sorry Sir Obama Yogurt
Published: April 26, 2012
Im Very Sorry Sir Obama Yogurt, He's been pictured with kings and emperors, Pope's and prime ministers, but on Tuesday President Obama posed for a slightly less formal picture.
Mr Obama grinned while having his picture taken with a gawky college student after the President stopped by The Sink, a student bar, while in Denver, Colorado.
It was there he met University of Colorado student Madalyn Starkey, who's slack-jawed Instagram photo has become an instant internet classic.
'I'm not going to stand there with a smile and my lips all quivering. Of course I'm going to throw my excitement out there in a picture,' Starkey said to CBS.
She said that she intended to send the photo to her parents, but uploaded it to the web on a whim.
'He was kind of making his way around quickly but I just took a picture with him and then of course, afterwards I said to him, 'Oh, you smell nice' the most embarrassing thing,' Starkey said.
On the same day, another University of Colorado student met the POTUS and managed to knock yoghurt all over his pants.
Kolbi Zerbest, 19, was among the supporters gathered to meet the president outside a college restaurant in Boulder, Colorado when the purple snack spewed over his leg.
Speaking on the Today show on Wednesday, the college freshman said scrambling photographers had actually knocked over the yoghurt, adding: 'Honestly, more of it got on me.'
The president remained good humoured about the accident, jokingly demanding to know who was responsible before pointing out it was lucky none had spilled on the Secret Service.
'Whose yoghurt is on me?' he asked, reaching for a napkin from a Secret Service agent. 'You've got a good story to tell. You can say: "I spilled yoghurt all over the president".'
Zerbest, standing with two friends in the crowd, responded: 'I'm very embarrassed of that story. But it's a pleasure – the pleasure is all mine. I'm very sorry sir.'
Caught on camera as he wiped his trousers, Obama added: 'Getting it on the president is alright but on the Secret Service…'

Harry Choates Biography
26 December 1922, Rayne, Louisiana, USA, d. 17 July 1951, Austin, Texas, USA. Choates, who has been called the Cajun Hank Williams and the Godfather of Cajun Music, is reckoned by many authorities to be the man most responsible for the genre becoming part of country music. During the Depression, Choates and his mother relocated to Port Arthur, Texas, where he grew up regularly spending much of his time listening to music in local honky tonks. He had a natural talent for playing instruments and soon became proficient on accordion, guitar and steel guitar, before finally favouring the fiddle. At the age of 12, already becoming addicted to alcohol, he was playing fiddle in local barbershops.
In the late 30s, he played in various Cajun bands, including that of fiddler Leo Soileau, one of the first artists to record Cajun music. It was then that he undoubtedly first learned Jole Blon (Pretty Blonde), a song that Soileau had recorded in 1935. Choates had a reputation for never remaining in one place for long and in the early 40s, he played with various Cajun units, becoming respected for his driving fiddle playing and vocals. He sang well enough in Cajun French to endear him to Cajun audiences but actually spoke it with a strong English accent, while his spoken English carried a Cajun accent. By the mid-40s, his drinking had worsened and he became unpredictable and unreliable. In 1945, he married Helen Daenen and quickly sired two children, before he once again moved on. In 1946, Choates, accompanied by his band which played a mixture of Cajun and western swing in dancehalls, recorded his now famous version of Jole Blon for the Gold Star label in Houston. It entered the Billboard country charts on 4 January 1947 and peaked at number 4. Although the song had originally been recorded in 1928 by Amade Breaux, because of Choates new and exciting arrangement it has always been associated with him.
Following the songs success, Choates became a legend around the clubs and dancehalls in Louisiana and Texas, although his excessive drinking meant he was sometimes unable to play and often missed shows altogether. Between 1946 and 1949, he made further recordings for Gold Star, including Poor Hobo, Port Arthur Waltz and Catting Around but he never repeated the popularity of his first hit. Selected recordings that he made for Gold Star during those years were released years later on the D label.
Choates career came to an end in jail, in Austin, on 17 July 1951. He had been arrested three days earlier, for failing to answer charges filed by his wife for desertion and child support, on a warrant issued by Jefferson County Court, which had also charged him with contempt of court. One early report gave his death as being caused by delirium tremens but some of his friends stoutly maintained that he died through police brutality, having been beaten to quieten him. Another statement said that Choates, who is reputed to have appeared agitated and nervous in jail, had never recovered consciousness after falling into a coma following an epileptic fit. A later report said that his death was caused by cirrhosis of the liver and his agitated nervous state was explained as being caused by the fact that, during the three days in jail, he had been deprived of his usual heavy intake of alcohol. He actually died 30 minutes before the Jefferson County sheriff arrived to return him to Beaumont to answer the charges. Researchers into Choates life have failed to trace any official inquest verdict. Although Choates was a brilliant instrumentalist, he never actually owned an instrument. The fiddle that brought him fame was a cheap seven-dollar instrument that he once borrowed from a friend and forgot to return. Choates was buried in Port Arthur, Texas, on 20 July 1951, his grave being unmarked until the early 80s, when local Cajuns provided a gravestone.

Continuing on my recent blogs on BYOD, I thought I would share some interesting statistics from this year's PwC Information Security Breaches Survey. 75% of large businesses allow staff to use smart phones and tablets to connect to their systems yet only 39% ensure that data on these smart phones is encrypted. Mobile devices are often lost or stolen with any data on them exposed. In the wrong hands these devices can potentially open up a door into corporate assets.
While it's clear that more and more organisations allow the use of these devices, unfortunately the implementation of security controls has not kept up to date. According to the report over half of small businesses haven't taken any steps to secure them. So, they may be small businesses but protecting information should be based on risk. A lot of small organizations have highly valuable intellectual property e.g. research and pharmaceuticals and therefore must prioritize in protecting this data. Worryingly organizations that allow personal devices vs. company-owned devices were also shown to have weaker controls. In reality these are the very devices that should have even better controls then the corporate-owned devices.
However, there are signs that overall organizations are following best practice and issuing a policy on mobile computing and providing appropriate training. My recent blogs discussed the importance of MDMs as essential in any interim solution yet only 13% of organizations have deployed a Mobile Device Management platform.
It seems we will constantly be playing catch-up if we are to manage and control these devices and the information they access in organizations. Technology for mobile devices moves fast and security controls lag behind and even where there are controls available organizations aren't actually following a long term strategy and deploying these in a reactive mode the results of which will be no surprise.

Shinji (Ande) and Masaru (Kaneko), almost the Beavis and Butt-head of their school, skive off, mug younger kids and dangle obscene puppets of the teachers outside classroom windows. When one day Masaru gets decked, he joins a gym. But while sparring, Shinji wipes the floor with him and they go their separate ways - Shinji into training, Masaru into a yakuza gang.
Fans of Violent Cop, Boiling Point and Sonatine are going to be a mite disappointed by this slice of teen life. But as it's the first feature Takeshi "Beat" Kitano has completed since he fractured his skull in a near-fatal scooter accident, we should be grateful for any kind of film at all. Moreover, the change of pace proves that Kitano is capable of more than just the quirky, violent thrillers with which he cut his directorial teeth.
Far from a Hollywood rites of passage picture, this is a more bruising encounter. Kitano has always focused on underachievers and this film teems with them - the timid kid, obsessed with a waitress, who becomes a cabby because he's not up to being a salesman; the boxer whose career is ruined by a dalliance with a groupie and a no-hoper steering talented fighters down the same road to ruin that he took. Only a couple of stand-up comics succeed - a reference to Kitano's own double-act.
Kitano cross-cuts with energy and invention, but the boxing has little of the oomph that made Tokyo Fist so strong. Kid's Return is clearly the work of a man either feeling his way back or searching for a new direction.

Okay. But this is my first time to drive with a suspended license. And during the court, the prosecutor charged me a fine for $200 and that is it.
Thank you. So you mean that if I get an attorney to help me I might not be charged with a criminal conviction? Actually I was traveling abroad during the summer vacation and I moved to a new place when I came back to United States so I did not receive any notice from the RMV to say that my license was suspended. Is it a good defense that I can use?

Johannesburg - The wife of a Centurion NG Kerk minister has appeared in court for allegedly stealing R6.9 million from her workplace, Beeld reported on Saturday.
Anchen Lindeque, 36, appeared in the Pretoria Commercial Court on Friday on a theft charge.
Lindeque, a qualified lawyer, was arrested in October 2011 after R6,259 241.66 disappeared from a law firm where she was employed.
She was a co-director, as well as in charge of bookkeeping and financial management at the firm, at the time she is alleged to have siphoned the money out of the firm's trust account into various other accounts.
The money transfers took place between 2008 and 2009.
She allegedly covered her tracks by creating false journal entries.
Lindeque, a mother of four, is expected to enter her plea when court proceedings resume in August.
She is currently out on bail of R5000. - Sapa

This is just a question. How does lifetime memberships help the NTA. I have been thinking about doing it for my savings but, I wonder if I would be doing a injustice to the NTA. I am 34 and plan to live for quite some time, I hope. By my figures if I stay a member for 15 years; which I see no reason not to, at the current rate I'd be paid the same. So for every year after that I would be getting it for free if not sooner due to dues possibly going up. I assume they have some type of investment program for these dues. Not that it matters I was just bored tonight. The main reason I ask is what happens 20 years down the road. Will me getting the benifits for free hurt them.
I have also wondered this samething as I have a lifetime hunting and fishing lic. for two states. What's it going to do to the budget and are the non lifetime card holders going to have to foot the bill.

Exclusive: Marlow
Explorer 78 — By Capt. Bill Pike —
July 2004
Sea Wolf
|The Wolf Himself
I recently spent an evening with David Marlow at his home in Snead Island, Florida, a gorgeously restored, palm-fringed, tin-roofed, cracker-style house on the banks of the Manatee River. While the interior resonated with a boatbuilder's touch throughout, most notably due to the abundance of teak doors, inlaid stairways, and louvered cabinets (all crafted by carpenters at Marlow's boatbuilding facility in China), it was the area behind the house, with its sheds and barns chock-a-block with "junk," that was flat-out astounding.
Forget the gasoline-powered pogo stick Marlow invented some years ago and the 50-mph golf cart. And forget the pristine Chevy Belair under canvas, the mint-condition Mack truck, and the jury-rigged rudder that once saw him and the crew of a damaged offshore racing sailboat some 700 NM to safety in Nassau.
What really caught my eye was the humble artifact inhabiting a shed where stacks of teak planks are stowed: a crusty, rough-hewn hull model that inspired the creation of the first Marlow Explorer. Cast up on an old, paint-besmirched workbench, it seemed at first glance little more than a three-foot chunk of boat-shape foam and wood scraps fitted with two triangular-shape skegs, the precursors to Marlow's performance-enhancing Velocijet Strut Keels.
"Doesn't look like much, does it?" grinned Marlow, nodding toward the model with characteristic modesty. "But when I pulled that little thing behind my Boston Whaler that day, I knew I was really onto something." The comment elicited a momentary vision. Marlow had been a retired boatyard operator living with his wife on the coast of Maine when he first began tinkering with strut-type keels and their application to cruising boats, tweaking shapes and positions, and then testing the results with the wide-eyed curiosity of a Florida-born-and-bred Galileo. For a moment I could almost see him back then, towing his model across some Downeast seascape with boyish enthusiasm, a huge smile on his face.
"Eventually, I got it so the darn thing tracked like it was on rails, Bill," Marlow marveled, slapping me on the back, "I mean... like it was on rails." —B.P.

Winning Overdose Prevention in New Jersey
The New Jersey office of the Drug Policy Alliance launched the Overdose Prevention Campaign on Overdose Awareness Day 2011 in order to promote public health policies aimed at raising awareness about drug overdose and reducing the number of overdose deaths. The Campaign originally advocated for two separate pieces of legislation, one bill to create a Good Samaritan law providing legal protections for overdose witnesses who summon medical assistance and another to expand access to the opioid overdose antidote, naloxone.
The Drug Policy Alliance, family advocates, and our coalition partners worked tirelessly for nearly three years and remained undaunted even in the face of a veto by the Governor. These efforts ultimately paid off when, under an agreement between Governor Christie and the Legislature, a compromise combined the previously separate bills into one piece of comprehensive overdose prevention legislation.
On May 2, 2013, the Overdose Prevention Act was signed into law. In addition to encouraging overdose witnesses to call 911 by providing legal protections to overdose victims and those seeking help, it also allows doctors to provide naloxone to anyone who may be in a position to assist in an overdose emergency. Those who prescribe, dispense and administer naloxone are protected from civil and criminal liability. DPA was present at the public signing of the Overdose Prevention Act. To view pictures from the event, click here.
In February of 2015, Governor Christie signed additional legislation expanding the Overdose Prevention Act to promote more widespread utilization and dissemination of naloxone. Thousands of needless deaths have already been prevented and countless more lives will be saved moving forward. We are grateful to those who worked so hard to make this law a reality and remain dedicated to its implementation.
The Overdose Prevention Campaign continues to work on implementing a comprehensive and objective public health strategy to combat overdose deaths. Join the campaign.

Honesty and Trust in the Light of the Post-Socialist Transition
In the first half of the 2002-2003 academic year, the members of a focus group at Collegium Budapest centred their research on examining the subject "Honesty and Trust in the Light of the Post-Socialist Transition". There were economists, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, legal scholars and philosophers in the group, some of them from the post-socialist region and others from elsewhere, conveying their experiences of honesty and trust in their respective countries. The research covered hundreds of phenomena and relations. The author of this paper confines himself to three problems: relations between firms; building a trustworthy state; the strategy for building trust.

Killeen Daily Herald
In the name of safety, the city of Killeen is taking measures to slow down people leaving the airport.
At the same time, the Texas Department of Transportation is suggesting the city speed things up in the area.
Red lights will begin flashing today at the exit of the Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport, reminding people to stop and look before crossing or entering State Highway 201.
Jim Butler, Killeen director of public works, said there has been a problem with drivers overlooking the first stop sign, at the airport's exit, and moving to the stop sign straight across SH 201, before heading north on the highway. Butler discussed the red lights at Tuesday night's regular meeting as the Killeen City Council entertained a proposal to increase the speed limit on SH 201.
The proposal, based on a traffic engineering study conducted by the Texas Department of Transportation, would have raised the speed limit from 45 mph to 55 mph. The higher speed limit would affect SH 201 for a stretch of 1.562 miles, running south of Stan Schlueter Loop toward the airport.
Some council members were wary of the speed limit increase.
"I think it's a safety issue," said Councilman Fred Latham.
Latham said he originally was for the speed limit increase, but he reconsidered after learning of serious accidents on that strip of road.
Councilman Dick Young, in favor of the speed increase, said SH 201 was designed to move volumes of traffic out of congested areas at a reasonable speed.
"I don't think we can regulate safe driving in all instances," he said.
Five council members, with Young and Bob Hausmann opposed, voted to table the issue and take it up again at a workshop when TxDOT representatives can be present.
At the meeting, the council also held a public hearing for residents' input on the 2006-07 budget. Don Jazskowski spoke, asking the city to consider a property tax rate freeze for residents more than 65 years old, a measure which other local taxing entities have already taken.
The city will take further comment from residents today at a town hall meeting at noon at the Fire Training Center, 207 N. 28th St. City officials seek input regarding city services to guide them as they shape the 2006-07 budget.

Norman walked up to Agatha's tree, book in hand. The sun was going down, a bright pink-orange painting the sky.
Agatha materialized, a faint white glow around her. She was asleep at the foot of the tree. She opened her eyes, drowsy, and stifled a yawn. She sat up, stretching. "Norman? Has it been a year already?"
He smiled. "Yeah."
She smiled. "You grew some more! How old are you now?"
"I'm 24." Norman walked over and sat down next to her. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah!" she said excitedly. Her face lit up. "I had this dream that I got to see my mom again! You were there too! We were in this meadow, and you were reading us a story from one of your books. And mom…"
