Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Thank you for your question. I look forward to working with you to provide you the information you are seeking for educational purposes only.
First of all, if the claims were submitted to the insurance company, which you said they were because your bills were paid, then there is negligence either on part of the hospital or insurance company (one or the other) and as such you still would not be liable for the bill. However, since they are pursuing this, you would need to seek to file a suit against BOTH your insurer and also the hospital for breach of contract and negligence, since one of the two would be liable here for the improper filing of the claims or the loss of the claims that were timely filed.
You need to try again and inform the insurance company that the claims were timely filed and get a letter from the hospital saying they did file the claims with the insurer in time. In your letter to the insurance company you inform them you are appealing their denial based on the fact the hospital has filed the claims timely and your claims were paid but your girlfriend's were not and tell the insurer it is not your fault if they lost the claims. If the insurer denies your appeal, then you would have to file suit against both the insurer and hospital for the breach of contract and negligence and seek to get the court to order the insurer to pay or that the hospital is not allowed to collect if they were negligent in filing the claim.
These are your only remaining options here.
Thank you for your reply.
If the hospital never filed the paperwork they were supposed to file for the claim, then they were negligent for not doing so and for not notifying you in time to file the claim yourself, so they would be liable to you for that. The first step is to complain to a supervisor about the matter and seek to get them to write the bill off and if they refuse, you can file a complaint against them with the attorney general. If those two steps fail, you would have to sue the hospital if it was the hospital in fact that was negligent in filing the claim and you would have to pay the attorney to do so or if the amount is less than $12,000 you can sue in small claims court without an attorney.

In its first year of creation, the Arnold Sports Film Festival will showcase the talents of both high school students and international filmmakers at the 2011 Arnold Sports Festival this weekend.
"The inspiration and how it started was a film that was sent in to Jim Lorimer that showed the internal struggle of an athlete, asking why do they do what they do and how they do it," said Jim Hern, film festival chairman. "What is the reward?"
Hern said that Lorimer, one of the co-founders of the Arnold Sports Festival, thought a film festival would be a great way to showcase stories of all the athletes.
Each short film is no more than 15 minutes and will tell the stories of athletes and show the struggles they go through.
"On the side of the athletes, there are plenty of stories to be told," Hern said. "And for the filmmakers' side, there are a lot of stories for them to make into a film.
Every story should be told."
Film festival co-chair Amber Mikesell said they hoped to get many student filmmakers involved.
"This year primary marketing was targeted toward students in Ohio," she said. "We do expect that the high school portion of the film festival will grow well beyond Ohio next year."
High schools the student filmmakers come from include Dublin Scioto, Upper Arlington, Dublin Coffman and Gahanna Lincoln.
"The purpose for having a specific high school division is to work specifically with schools and students to assist in educating along the way," Mikesell said.
Films were pre-screened to make sure they complied with the contest's rules. Mikesell said they were then packaged for judging and given to an independent panel of industry experts and evaluated for four qualities: creativity, structure, quality and impact.
"Basically there's a high school competition for U.S. students and then there's a second competition that's open to anybody anywhere in the world," said Aaron Azpiazu, project manager at Campus MovieFest. Campus MovieFest is working with the Arnold Sports Festival to put on the film festival.
Some other events at the festival include a screening of "Win Win," a comedy starring Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan, about a lawyer who coaches a high school wrestling team. The movie is in between screenings at the Sundance Film Festival and South by Southwest.
The international portion of the film contest will be shown Saturday.
Among the jurors is former Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will also present awards to the winners at the end of the film festival. Eddie George will be the award ceremony's host.
"You have Schwarzenegger, the biggest athlete-turn-movie star, and then you have (OSU Heisman winning running back) Eddie George who is encouraging people to do more than just one thing," Hern said.
The prizes include visiting a Hollywood movie set with Schwarzenegger, among other things.

When highlighting the power of the technology industry it's fairly common to see comparisons of tech compared to the rest of the world. For example, did you know California – home to the technology Mecca that is Silicon Valley – has a GPD equivalent to that of France? Or that Bill Gates is richer than Myanmar? Or that Apple has more cash than the UK and Canada combined?
But what happens if you compare number of employees to country populations? And are these commercial states worth more than their nation-state equivalents?
Foxconn is by far the biggest technology employer in the world, with some 1.3 million workers. That is the equivalent to the population of Swaziland. But the Chinese giant and major supplier of Apple's iPhone boasts a market cap of $54.4 billion, compared to a GDP of just $4.1 billion for the African nation.
Accenture has some 400,000 employees, roughly equal to the French Caribbean island of Martinique. But boasts a market cap of $77. 8 billion, compared to a GDP of around $12 million for Martinique. Amazon added over 100,000 employees to its workforce in the last year, taking its total to over 340,000.
Despite their vast fortunes, big hitters such as Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, all have around 100,000 employees, showing that holding top spot in the list of world's most valuable companies doesn't mean you need the most workers. Despite serving nearly 2 billion people, Facebook has only 17,000 employees.

Heavyweight David Price's career is in ruins and Tony Thompson's is on the upswing again after their sloppy and messy yet thrilling slugfest on Saturday at Echo Arena in Price's hometown of Liverpool, England.
They wobbled each other repeatedly like drunken sailors in a bar fight, but in the end it was Thompson who scored the fifth-round knockout for a second consecutive upset of Price, whom he also knocked out in the second round at Echo Arena on Feb. 23.
There was so much hope for Price from so many in boxing. He was a 2008 British Olympic bronze medalist, was the 2012 ESPN.com prospect of the year and had even been prominently mentioned by heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko as a future possible title challenger. And he sure looked the part. He had been plowing through opponents, displayed a massive right hand and had an awesome physical presence at 6-foot-9, 250 pounds.
In their first fight, Price, the heavy favorite, hurt Thompson with his devastating right hand and was pounding him in the second round and on the verge of a stoppage victory only to see Thompson survive the onslaught and then catch him with a short right hand. Price went down and beat the count, but he was staggering and so wobbly that the fight had to be called off.
Opting for the immediate rematch rather than something a bit less taxing, Price and his team -- promoter Frank Maloney, trusted Maloney adviser Don Majeski and trainer Franny Smith – clearly made the wrong call.
Even bringing former heavyweight champion and Hall of Famer Lennox Lewis into the training camp to work with the 29-year-old Price proved to be worthless. "Lennox Lewis only had one training camp with the guy," Thompson said, going on to explain that it was not nearly enough time for Price to adapt any of Lewis' teachings.
Price neglected his almost four-inch height advantage, rarely jabbed and let himself get dragged into a slugfest with Thompson, a southpaw from Washington, D.C., who wore a black shirt into the ring that read "Pure Warrior."
That was Thompson's mindset, and Price allowed Thompson to make it a rough, physical fight. It was great for fight fans to watch but the entirely wrong fight for Price to engage in.
It seemed as though Price got caught up in trying to pound Thompson out after dropping him with him a clean right hand in the second round.
Thompson did not take the full force of the shot, which was lucky for him.
"It was a good knockdown but I was going backward and it wasn't a crunching right hand," Thompson said. "I was clear-headed the whole time."
Price (15-2, 13 KOs) continued to attack in the third round and should have been credited with another knockdown when he creamed Thompson (38-3, 26 KOs) with another right hand, sending him sagging into the ropes, which were responsible for holding him up. But referee Marcus McDonnell did not rule a knockdown and Thompson rallied to hurt Price with a left hand late in what was a wild, action round.
In the fourth round, they continued to trade fierce shots but Thompson came on strong. He battered Price to the body and was working him over as the round ended.
Price looked like he was nearly out of gas in the fifth round as Thompson unloaded on him. He must have landed more than a dozen shots from all angles during a furious onslaught that forced Price to retreat to the ropes. Thompson continued to let his hands fly and Price was done. He basically turned his back and leaned over the ropes in the corner, forcing McDonnell to issue an eight-count.
But when McDonnell was done counting, he looked into Price's eyes, saw that he was done and called the fight off at 1 minute, 55 seconds. Once again, the Echo Arena crowd was stunned. Once again, Price was stunned. And once again, Thompson was celebrating, having put himself back into the hunt for another title shot or, at the very least, another significant fight.
"I'd be a liar if I didn't say I had butterflies," Thompson said of his feeling coming into the fight. "He scared the hell out of me, but he brought the f------ best out of me."
Whatever Thompson does next, he will get a significant fight. But Price? Who knows. His future is very, very uncertain.
"He has to start over," Thompson said. "He was in great condition, but his mind wasn't. My mind is great. I'm a thinker. I saw him get tired. I discouraged him and, in the end, I stopped him."
Price did not speak after the fight, but Maloney -- who was on the verge of tears and taking the loss very, very hard -- did.
"Wrong sort of fight," he said quietly. "Tony Thompson showed his experience. All credit to Tony Thompson. I don't know what went wrong in there. That wasn't the game plan. I think he maybe [Price] wanted to make a point.
"Everyone in the camp is in shock. We knew it was a hard fight going in. We'll sit down and start looking at what to do. I don't think we want to have [another] rematch. I wasn't too keen on this rematch."
And now we know why.

Dalziel on double duty in Portland
Following the frustrations of Monterrey and Milwaukee, Ryan Dalziel's hoping for a reversal of fortune when the Toyota Atlantic Championship visits Portland International Raceway this weekend, 18-20th June, for the only double-header event of the year. With Round 4 set for Saturday and Round 5 on Sunday the Sierra Sierra Enterprises racer will be hoping to enjoy similar success at the west-coast track from last year's visit where he stormed to pole and victory on the 1.969-mile permanent road course.
The 22-year-old Scot, with two opportunities in Portland to attempt to retain the series lead, has put the disappointment of crashing out to avoid a spinning back marker in Milwaukee two weeks ago firmly behind him. Competing in the #28 ProWorks Swift which he qualified third, Dalziel was comfortably in control of second place with just five laps remaining when the accident happened. The oval track bit hard and while Ryan emerged from the accident relatively unscathed the same could not be said of his race car and his lead of the driver standings.
Now sitting fourth overall, just ten points behind current leader Ronnie Bremer, Ryan's hungrier than ever to recapture the lead he held following his opening victory at Long Beach back in April.
"I'm excited about this weekend's racing prospects,' Dalziel enthused. "It's good to be heading back to Portland not least as I have an opportunity to defend my race win and pole position from 2003. The fact it's a track I enjoy and I believe we'll be quick at is a bonus as we have two opportunities to turn the disappointments of Mexico and Milwaukee around!"
He continued: "We tested in Portland straight after our California victory a couple of months ago and with the 2004 rules we still had the quickest package on the circuit. I really hope we can get back to the top step of the podium this weekend and get the title charge back on track."
Ryan heads into Portland's double-round with one victory (Long Beach), two pole positions (Long Beach, Monterrey) and two fastest race laps (Long Beach, Monterrey) from the opening three events of the year.
The action kicks off with qualifying for Round 4 on Friday (18th) at 1:45pm followed on Saturday (19th) with Round 5 qualifying at 8am. Round 4, 35-laps, is scheduled to start at 12:15pm on Saturday with Round 5, also 35-laps on Sunday (20th) starting at 10:30am. All times Pacific Standard Time.

It was exciting in recent days to see the news about the discovery of a new family of spiders, in a cave in Oregon. New species are found all the time, especially among the arthropods. But a new family is a big deal. It means that an animal is different in very significant ways from others of its kind, the way owls are different from other birds, or bears from other mammals. And while new families of spiders get do designated from time to time in the course of taxonomic revisions, a new spider family has not been discovered in nature since the 1890s.

5 on Five
5 Faces to Watch
Theme: Players Who Should Be Receiving More Playing Time
1. Al Jefferson, PF Boston
-Doc Rivers finally realized that you can't start a soft frontcourt with Raef LaFrentz and Mark Blount and expect to win more than half your games in the NBA. Now it's time he realizes that the Celtics aren't going anywhere fast this season and he's got to develop his young bigs of Al Jefferson and Kendrick Perkins if the team wants to work towards something in the future. With the way Baby Al has been playing lately (21.0 MPG, 13.5 PPG, 63.8% FGs, 8.5 RPG, 1.3 BPG over his last 4), it's only a matter of time before he's inserted into the starting lineup and playing 30+ minutes like we all thought he would be before the season.
2. Caron Butler, F Washington
-Eddie Jordan has to settle on a rotation for this team and whatever it is, it needs to include a more prominent role for Caron Butler. Aside from being their third best threat on the offensive end, he's also an underrated defender that can be a Larry Hughes-esque thief if given big minutes. It's time to realize that Jarvis Hayes doesn't quite cut it as the starting 2 and that Antonio Daniels is better off as a 6th man-- give the starting shooting guard spot to Butler already.
3. Eddie Griffin, F Minnesota
-I don't blame Dwane Casey for being hesitant to give Griffin a larger role on the Wolves given the way the team has been playing as of late, but at some point he's going to realize that Griffin's talents are just too good to leave on the bench for more than half the game. Though he's having trouble getting his offensive game going, Griffin is a defensive gem (2nd in BP48M; 6th in RP48M) that still wreeks of star potential. If the Wolves want the 23 year old to continue in his development, Casey is going to have to give him more run.
4. Stromile Swift, PF Houston
-I might be too late on this call as 'The Stro Show' has played more minutes in the last 3 games (24.7 MPG) than he has in any 3-game span this season. And perhaps it's not a coincidence that Swift has been a key contributor (11.0 PPG, 50.0% FGs, 5.0 RPG, 1.7 SPG, 2.0 BPG) in each game-- all Rockets wins. Look for Swift to become more comfortable with the team as his role steadily increases.
5. Andray Blatche, PF Washington
-I got a brief look at Blatche the other night in garbage-time minutes against the Pacers and came away very impressed. He's got great size for a 19 year old at 6'11", 235 lbs., yet he plays more like an oversized 3. I could see instantly why he's been drawing comparisons to Kevin Garnett (even if they are far-fetched at this point). All I've heard out of Washington is that Blatche is drawing raves around the organization for his play-- they really think he's got a bright future in this league. So I'm wondering...with the Wizards really struggling right now and Eddie Jordan constantly tinkering with the rotation, why not throw a few minutes here or there to Blatche, who has played only 22 all season? Especially when you consider their weak frontcourt, it might not be such a bad idea.
5 Fascinating Factoids
1. Gary Payton recorded his 1000th career double-digit scoring game on Friday night, tops among all active players. Although this isn't a jaw-dropping feat, it is yet another milestone in what's been a first ballot Hall of Fame career for 'The Glove'.
2. The Boston Celtics finished with the worst record in the 1996-97 season, thus they had the best odds of landing the #1 overall pick in the 1997 'Tim Duncan' Draft. Unfortunately for 'Gang Green', the balls didn't fall their way in the lottery and so they were stuck with the 4th pick while San Antonio hit the jackpot. Since that day, the Celtics have never beaten the Spurs. Not one time in 17 tries. Unbelievable.
3. In all 7 of Houston's wins this season, Tracy McGrady has scored at least 23 points. Their record when McGrady either hasn't suited up or dropped 23? 0-11. And you thought T-Mac was already out of the MVP race...
4. The Detroit Pistons have now played 100 consecutive regular season games and 48 Playoff games with the same exact starting lineup since acquiring Rasheed Wallace on February 19, 2004. Too often organizations overlook continuity and the importance of developing strong team chemistry in favor of making drastic personnel changes that make teams appear sexier on paper, but if there's ever been an example of how effective stability and cohesion can be , take a look at the 2005-06 Detroit Pistons.
5. Danny Fortson has yet to commit a flagrant foul this season. The notorious thug on Seattle is once again defending his reputation as the dirtiest player in the NBA by leading the league in PFP48M at 14.8, a hefty lead over the next highest at 9.2; he's tied with Rasheed Wallace and Alonzo Mourning in technicals with 5; and his two ejections are more than anyone else. But where are the flagrants? This is a category he usually dominates.
5 Fretful Thoughts
1. Can the Charlotte Bobcats shake this funk? After a mildly surprising start to the season, the second-year franchise has begun to do its best impression of Prarie View A&M. The Bobcats have now dropped 7 straight games, 11 on the road, and will face only 2004-05 Playoff teams in each of their next five games. On top of this, Gerald Wallace is really struggling after a dynamic start and now Emeka Okafor may miss some time with a sprained toe. Suddenly, the Bobcats have been thrust into the race for worst record right alongside Toronto and Atlanta.
2. Nobody will consider the Warriors a legitimate threat in the West until they win a big game. So far this season, Golden State's best wins have come at Milwaukee and in Oakland over Chicago. While those are solid victories, neither is going to land the Warriors in the opening SportsCenter tease-- and that's the kind of win this team needs. I understand that in the NBA, more often than not, rising teams will take baby steps on their way to the top, and the Warriors have shown growth as they continue to beat teams they should beat. But for critics, fans, and most importantly the team's sake, they need a victory over a marquee team to show they're ready for primetime. So far they've dropped home contests to San Antonio, Detroit, and Phoenix, and a road game at the Clippers-- a win in any of these games could have gotten them over the hump. They'll host the Rockets Friday on ESPN, so they won't have to wait too long for their next opportunity (although one might not necessarily consider this a 'big win').
3. Nate Robinson isn't as likeable as I once thought he would be. I still love certain things about him-- his small stature, crazy hops, penchant for the dramatic, and aggressive style of play, but he clouds these assets with an abundance of cockiness, a lack of humility, a Jamal Crawford-esque shot selection, and a propensity to always try dazzle rather than simply make the right play. If I were a veteran guard in the NBA and Robinson were sticking me, I'd take it right at him every time and throw him a few cheap shots. Some of the antics I've seen him pull this year are off limits for rookies which is why, as you may have noticed, referees are none too kind to Nate. I am glad to see that Larry Brown likes him and plays him with confidence because if anyone is going to get Robinson to tone down his theatrics, it's LB.
4. If Larry Bird does fulfill Ron Artest's outspoken desire to be traded, the Pacers are not going to get equal value. There's not many players out there who bring what Artest does to the floor and when you couple that with his relatively low salary (2 more years at about $15 million), Donnie Walsh and Larry Bird have quite a pickle on their hands. Should they take on free agents-to-be Peja Stojakovic or Al Harrington? Expiring contracts from the Knicks? Drew Gooden plus? It'll be interesting to see how the Pacers (an organization that rarely botches personnel moves) handles this Artest situation.
5. Nate McMillan still insists on bringing Juan Dixon off the bench despite the fact that the former Wizard might be his #1 scoring option right now. With Darius Miles sidelined for what's expected to be an extended amount of time, McMillan has to juggle the rotation around. The Blazers were having problems enough with Miles as their #1 scoring option, but at least they could put some points on the board. Now with the load being carried almost exclusively by Zach Randolph, Portland is putting up scores less than what Oregon University pours in a night. Did you know the Blazers have yet to ring up 100 this season? I understand a starting backcourt of Telfair and Dixon is like throwing Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto against the likes of Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman, but at least they could get their punches in. The Blazers are going to get knocked around for awhile with the roster McMillan has on his hands.
5 Fascinating Match-Ups
1. LA Clippers at San Antonio Spurs, Tuesday @ 8:30 PM.
-If the Playoffs were to begin today, the Spurs and Clippers would enter as the top two seeds. Major props to anyone who called this. Clippers came up with a huge win against Phoenix at Staples on Saturday, but this is the game that will tell us how good the Clip Show really is.
2. Phoenix at Dallas, Wednesday @ 8:00 PM on ESPN
4. Denver at Cleveland, Thursday @ 8:00 PM on TNT
-Of course you know LeBron dropped 52 in a loss on Saturday, but I hope everyone is paying attention to 'Melo, who's playing the best basketball we have ever seen from him. This game is always a treat.
5. Houston at LA Lakers, Sunday @ 9:30 PM on NBA TV
-And T-Mac vs Kobe ain't too shabby either.
5 Fearless Forecasts
1. A couple days ago I was brainstorming potential midseason coaching replacements if/when any of the coaches on the hot seat (Adelman, Jeff Van Gundy, Mitchell, Frank) are canned. An ideal replacement came to mind-- one Mr. Terry Porter, recently and mistakenly let go by Milwaukee, as the new head coach in Sacramento. Porter is a former Kings assistant that is familiar with the system and players, and so he'll be able to try and fix the situation without altering it too much. He's also expected to be one of the most sough-after head coaches this summer; the Maloofs can get a leg up on the competition by locking up Porter long-term before he's pursued by other suitors. So there you have it-- if Sacramento doesn't show steady improvement fast, Rick Adelman will be fired and Terry Porter will be replaced to hire him.
2. Has anyone else considered the irony in Doug Christie surprisingly announcing his retirement a couple weeks ago and the prospects of the Kings this season looking rather grim? Might the NBA's notorious 'whipping boy' be expressing his desire to the Maloofs about landing a position with the organization, possibly as part of the coaching staff? Here's my forecast-- again, if there's a shake-up of Sacramento's coaching staff, Doug Christie will be hired as an assistant coach.
3. The Houston Rockets have now won 3 in a row, but stand at a paltry 7-12 on the season. With an impending 4 game West Coast swing around the corner, the Rockets better be ready to play their best basketball of the season if they want to turn their record around fast. I'm calling the Rockets to be at .500 or better by the time New Year's rolls around. Despite a somewhat tough schedule which places them on the road for 6 of their next 9, Houston will need to take 7 of their 9 remaining December games to climb back up to .500-- a task I think is within them.
4. One rookie who's quietly having an outstanding rookie season is Salim Stoudamire. We knew he was a lethal outside shooter coming out of Arizona and that he could end up being a real steal in last June's draft, and Salim has done nothing but back this up. Aside from an unbelievable 24 point 4th quarter performance in Oklahoma City that nearly got the Hawks their first win of the season back in November, Stoudamire is proving to be a reliable source of scoring off the bench for Atlanta (22.4 MPG, 10.8 PPG, 44.4% FG, 43.5% 3PT). Eventually Mike Woodson is going to give Stoudamire a shot in the starting lineup and 30+ minutes per game to show what he can do. I think Salim Stoudamire is going to fly with this and show that he's just a natural scorer despite his size en route to being named 1st Team All Rookie.
5. As I said before the season started in my MVP article, there's always one candidate that comes from nowhere and builds a ton of momentum after his team gets off to an unexpectedly hot start. That candidate this year (if you didn't know already) is Elton Brand. The Duke product and former #1 overall pick has been absolutely terrific this season (25.5 PPG, 55.1 FG%, 10.8 RPG, 2.9 BPG) in leading the Clippers to the top of the Pacific Division. Much of Brand's success has to be attributed to Sam Cassell and Cuttino Mobley who have helped ease some of the defensive pressure and double teams that have been utilized on Brand throughout the past 4 seasons with the Clippers. While I do believe he can keep these Karl Malone-esque numbers up, Elton Brand will not be winning the 2005-06 MVP Award. Is he a franchise player? Sure. But when you consider what 'Da Kid' is doing over in Minnesota with far less support, you simply can't justify Brand taking top honors.

It's been awhile since I've posted because I've been busy working on some new art projects.
I'm trying to get my Etsy shop back up and running and to do that I need to get some art stockpiled so I can keep it stocked. You know, if people actually buy it... *fingers crossed*
I wanted to share with you some of the stuff I will be selling.
One of the new items I am making is hand painted hard cover kindle/ipad/tablet covers.
They are basically a hard cover book that has little elastic straps that holds your kindle/tablet. The outside cover is wrapped in canvas paper and the inside is cotton lined. I have some others that are wrapped in faux leather and are suede lined.
The paintings wrap all the way around the cover.

take a look at...
Rare photography exhibition of rural India on show at London gallery
Step back in time and experience a slice of rural India from the 1970s in a captivating exhibition of travel photography taken by Gianni Berengo Gardin, Italy's most celebrated living photographer. His portraits and memories of India are currently showing at the prestigious Prahland Bubbar Gallery in London in an exhibition called The Sense Of Moment in which he also showcases some of the iconic post-war images he is best known for.
Berengo Gardin's Indian images were taken between 1977-1979 when he spent time living between New Delhi and Bombay. It may have been unexpected for a young Italian photographer to visit India alone but he recalls: 'I have always been a great admirer of Gandhi and one of his statements is engraved on my mind. He said that Europeans and Westerners come to India and visit the big cities but they never go to see the villages, even though, in reality, India is made up of small villages.
Over the course of two years, Berengo Gardin documented the India talked about by Gandhi in a fascinating series of portraits that intimately depict the lives of ordinary people, their rituals, customs and industry. Much like his Indian series, Berengo Gardin's photographs of post-war Italy also capture a country on the brink of transformation, from an agricultural based economy, which had been severely affected by the consequences of World War II, into one of the world's most industrialised nations.
The Sense Of Moment: Gianni Berengo Gardin is showing from 11th April - 23rd May 2014 at The Prahlad Bubbar Gallery.

Top Chinese cop jailed 17 years
LIAONING A Chinese court has sentenced a senior police officer to 17 years in prison for his part in a bribes-for-projects scandal, proceeds from which were used to buy two homes in Australia.
Wang Jun Ren, 59, the police chief of Guta district in Jinzhou City in the Chinese province of Liaoning, accepted 6.8 million yuan (S$1.3 million) in bribes, court documents show.
He doled out construction projects in return for the bribes, and used part of the money to buy two Australian properties for his family.

- High Command
- Cobra Air Forces
- Cobra Ground Forces
- Cobra Naval Forces
- Cobra Ninja Forces
- Cobra R&D
- Cobra Special Forces
- Dreadnoks
High Command
- For a full list of characters, see Cobra.
Though the members of the Cobra Organization are all fighting against G.I. Joe, there are many internal power struggles.
- Cobra Commander - The leader and founder of Cobra. His face is almost always obscured either by a hood with only his eyes visible or by a high tech battle helmet with various security features integrated into it. In the cartoon, this concealment was to hide inhuman disfigurement, whereas in the comic it is merely to maintain the secret of his civilian identity. He is regarded as the most dangerous man on Earth, because he can draw followers to him. Only Baroness and Destro have seen his face.
- Tomax and Xamot - Twin brothers that lead the Crimson Guard and are the respectable corporate face of Cobra. When not engaged in dangerous field missions, Tomax and Xamot are in shirt and tie, managing Cobra's business affairs, as well as running Cobra's day-to-day operations. The brothers share an empathic connection. While this is often useful, as it allows them to communicate wordlessly and finish each others sentences, it is also a liability, as they feel each other's pain during fights. Tomax and Xamot are mirror images of each other, except Xamot has a scar on the right side of his face. The twins run a corporation called Extensive Enterprises and are known more for their skills in the boardroom than on the battlefield.
- Destro or James McCullen Destro XXIV - A Scotsman who always wears a metal mask (in the cartoon the mouth of his mask moves, explained by a form of nanotech/liquid metal in later comics). He has often tried to take over leadership of Cobra. Destro is an arms dealer and his number one client is Cobra. He is the hereditary leader of M.A.R.S. (Military Armaments Research Syndicate) and uses his personal army, the Iron Grenadiers, to start conflicts in order to sell weapons to all of the combatants' parties. Destro has a warped sense of honor and a grudging respect for his G.I. Joe foes.
- The Baroness or Baroness Anastasia DeCobray - The daughter of European aristocrats, she serves as Cobra's Director of Intelligence, and is romantically involved with Destro.
- Dr. Mindbender - A mad scientist and former dentist. He has several mind-control devices. He is also quite accomplished with genetic manipulation. He is responsible for the creation of Serpentor, the Cobra B.A.T. as well as responsible for perfecting the Brainwave Scanner. Though he is quite muscular, Mindbender is somewhat cowardly, preferring to avoid physical confrontations.
- Major Bludd - Major Sebastian Bludd is an Australian mercenary with extensive combat experience who works for Cobra from time to time. He is a master tactician, expert in all known weapons, and writes very bad poetry. He is usually hired as Cobra's infantry commander. Major Bludd is best known for the assassination of General Flagg, the original leader of the G.I. Joe team. He currently commands all of Cobra's conventional warfare forces.
- Storm Shadow or Thomas "Tommy" Arashikage - A ninja who trained in martial arts and military service alongside G.I. Joe operatives Snake-Eyes and Stalker. He brought Snake-Eyes into his clan; the two are sword brothers. He joined Cobra with the intention of finding the man who killed his uncle, the leader of his clan. It was later revealed that Zartan and Firefly were in fact responsible, but Storm Shadow was never able to avenge his master's death. He eventually was brainwashed and began working for Cobra in earnest.
- Zartan - The leader of the Dreadnoks, as well as a master spy and assassin. He is a master of disguise, able to be anyone anytime he wishes. Thanks to genetic experimentation, Zartan is also capable of changing his skin color to blend in with his background. This special ability is disrupted by sunlight.
Field Command
- Overlord - Leader of Cobra's Ground Forces, and secret member of Coil.
- Cesspool is a field commander of Cobra's Ground Forces. His personal squad are the Sludge-Vipers.
- Gristle - Former Headhunter and commander of Cobra's Alley-Vipers.
Code-named Agents
- Firefly - The world's greatest saboteur, Firefly's background is a mystery. A mercenary and assassin, Firefly offers no guarantees or refunds. He is an expert in all types of explosive ordnance and demolition materials. He is formerly the Faceless Master of the Arashikage ninja clan.
- Blackout - Sniper Thomas J. Stall was rejected by G.I. Joe for failing his psychological exam and was suspected of being involved with the disappearance of his sister. After being imprisoned, Thomas broke out of a brig at Fort Huachuca during an attack by Cobra, to whom he surrendered willingly and subsequently joined.
- Dreadnoks - Led by Zartan as well as his siblings and daughter, the Dreadnoks are gang of bikers who pull jobs for Cobra when finesse is not required and brute force is needed. Zartan uses them for backup and brought them with him when he joined Cobra.
Rank and file
The vast majority of the Cobra Organization is made up of faceless legions of soldiers, widely diversified according to specialties and functions. Some of the more prominent include:
- Cobra Troopers/Officers - Also known as "Blueshirts," these were the original soldiers first publically deployed by Cobra in 1982, and prominently used in many Cobra operations. They are generally regarded as little better than common grunts.
- Crimson Guard - Led by Tomax and Xamot, these elite soldiers were organized in 1985. In addition to intense military training, they are required to have a degree in either accounting or law (later relaxed to include a non-specific college degree), and are often used in deep cover operations, posing as civilians and politicians. The group later specialized further with the creation of the Crimson Guard Commanders and Immortals, as well as vehicles modified specifically for the Crimson Guard's use.
- Cobra Vipers - Organized in 1986, these infantry soldiers complemented the Blueshirts in the field, though they benefit from better training and more sophisticated equipment. They are "the backbone of Cobra Legions" and "if you want to get anywhere in Cobra, you have to start out as a Viper." Viper also became the nickname for other rank-and-file Cobra divisions (including their Cobra Trooper and Officer predecessors) due to the fact that most Cobra units, regardless of skill level, wore the suffix "-Viper" as their unit name (Tele-Viper, for example).
- B.A.T.s - Cobra Battle Android Troopers were introduced in 1986 and were used extensively in the field, since they could present an expendible army that G.I. Joe could gun down and be easily replaced. Intended as a cheap alternative to using living soldiers, they could be hazardous to both friend and foe.
- Night Creepers - The Night Creepers are a group of ninjas-for-hire with a particular savvy for technology and business, whose leader is called Aleph. The current Night Creeper Leader is not the same as the original Aleph.
- Iron Grenadiers - Destro's personal army.
- Python Patrol - Cobra troops given special radar-resistant technology
- HISS Drivers and Stinger Drivers - Very high-ranking and implicitly trusted command officers who lead missions and transport members of Cobra Command.
Cobra maintains a number of bases around the world. In several media incarnations, Cobra's primary base is Cobra Island. In the Marvel Comics series, Cobra is said to have bases, underground cells and even whole communities scattered across the globe. Following are several specific locations with names:
- Broca Beach - After the destruction of Springfield, Cobra created another town as their secret base of operations in America. This one was transformed from an abandoned seaside town. Former residents of the destroyed Springfield town were relocated here.
- Castle Destro - Destro's fortress in Scotland. Training ground for the Iron Grenadiers.
- Cobra Citadel also known as the Silent Castle - Cobra's base of operations in Eastern Europe. It is located in Trans-Carpathia. Destro was one of its designers and for a brief period, it became the second Castle Destro.
- Cobra Consulate - A high-rise in New York City used by Cobra as an embassy and base of operations after Cobra Island was declared a sovereign nation.
- Cobra Island - The primary base of Cobra operations. It was created after a massive man-made earthquake. Cobra lawyers, well-prepared, moved in and had it declared a sovereign nation. It was the battlefield for the Cobra civil war, and the battle against 'the Coil'. After Cobra was beaten, the island was seized by the U.N. It then came under the control of the Coil, then Cobra, and was finally destroyed by a nuclear warhead, which also killed every member of the Coil.
- Millville - A steel town that fell into economic ruin after the closing of the local plant. When Cobra descends literally en masse on them one day, the residents are swayed by Cobra Commander's promise of quick wealth and prosperity to submit to his rule. However, Cobra immediately subjugates the town via a brainwashing device, leading to the formation of a local resistance.
- Monolith Base - A massive mountain complex located in Badhikistan. It served as Cobra's main base but was taken over by an all out assault from G.I. Joe.
- Springfield - A small anonymous town in the U.S., which Cobra secretly operated as a base. The town was poor and desperate when the man who would become Cobra Commander arrived. He became the town's savior and it was there he started Cobra. Many covert operations were held there, including the creation of Serpentor.
Canon History
The Cobra Organization had its beginnings when the financially ruined man who would become Cobra Commander settled in an American town called Springfield. Blaming the federal government and big business for his misfortunes, he conceived a plan of forming a secret organization to acquire wealth and power and thereby wreak his revenge on the world. Springfield was a perfect place to start the organization as the town itself had fallen on hard times and the population was disillusioned. Soon, the organization was growing with the entry of like-minded individuals from all over the country. Much of Cobra's early funding came from pyramid schemes and other semi-legitimate business plans initiated by Cobra Commander. In a very short time, Cobra evolved from a business into a paramilitary movement. Motivated by greed and power, the group soon expanded all over the country, operating in secret, engaging in terrorism to achieve their objectives. By the time the U.S. government recognized Cobra as a threat, the organization had already gained footholds as a powerful private army and terrorist organization around the world.
Many of its members (especially those in the elite Crimson Guard units) lead seemingly normal lives, supporting Cobra covertly. Cobra attracted members with the promise of fast financial rewards and power for those willing to be ruthless enough. It also offered a world of order and strength, with its 'model community' of Springfield being one example of the Cobra ideal.
Cobra would eventually achieve a temporary legitimacy by the artificial creation of Cobra Island, which was recognized as an independent nation by the international community, much to the dismay of G.I. Joe. This allowed Cobra to have diplomatic facilities in the United States via the Cobra consulate.
During Serpentor's tenure Cobra's primary source of income came from arms sales to Third World nations. This led to a clash with Destro's MARS Organization, which provided Cobra with much of its arms.
For a comic series predominantly aimed at children, Cobra was a relatively realistic depiction of a highly successful terrorist organization. With its strong symbolic imagery, charismatic and ruthless leader and fanatical hierarchy, the fictional group is similar to other fictional terrorist and fascist organizations such as SPECTRE of James Bond fame and the similar Marvel Universe organization HYDRA.
Larry Hama depicted Cobra troops as being motivated by money, power, and a sense of brotherhood. However, they are not fanatical to the point where they would fight to the last man and to the last breath. If all is lost, they would willingly surrender or run away had they the chance, something their leaders rarely let them do. The brutal training depicted in the file cards of the troopers are very much characteristic of ritualistic hazing.
The only instance that has shown Cobra as a suicidal fanatical organization was in issue #8 where the troopers willingly let themselves blow up on a boat after their loss.

Watchmen Reviews
August 31, 2016
A remarkable film, in many respects.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
June 10, 2014
Those unfamiliar with the work may be completely bewildered, but stick with it -- this is a bold and uncompromising take on one of the genre's sacred cows that stands up to repeat viewings.
June 10, 2014
For such an epic spectacle, it's not burdened by a lot of clutter. It's intellectual complexity seems well-earned, not gratuitous. It's also visually stunning.
June 10, 2014
I truly wanted to love Watchmen, but I never warmed up to it and ended up only liking it in parts.
June 10, 2014
Undeniably, skilfully and wholeheartedly realized by Zack Snyder, the impossible now exists: Watchmen isn't just a movie, it's a great movie.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
June 10, 2014
Snyder has done a good job of staying true to the source material.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
February 17, 2014
Outside of Haley's turn as Rorschach, the cast generally flounders on a raft of exposition-heavy words bobbing in an uncaring sea of ambitious visuals.
July 16, 2013
Snyder's film is a breath-taking epic, a compelling thriller and an ensemble character piece, far beyond our expectations of the genre.
June 22, 2013
Watchmen really does work as a film, by staying loyal to the book while still jettisoning the least cinematic elements. Snyder has flaws as a director - big, serious, massive, obvious flaws - but he's working with a goldmine of material here.
Full Review | Original Score: B+
Top Critic
April 14, 2013
Watchmen the movie provides ample evidence that more is more, but less might have been closer to Moore in spirit (that is, anarchic, witty and compelling).
September 29, 2012
Everything in Watchmen matters: there are no small characters, no false leads, no flab.
July 30, 2012
The fanboys who have seen the movie are raving about how faithful the film is to Alan Moore's vision - in fact, some have even suggested that what will annoy the notoriously testy writer the most is that the film actually improves on his ending...
Top Critic
May 6, 2011
If you haven't read the source material I think you're going to dislike it even more than I did. So yeah, it's sort of bad news around here.
Full Review | Original Score: C
April 4, 2011
It's... not bad.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
March 13, 2011
This is not just a great superhero film, it's an important political debate.
March 7, 2011
Watchmen isn't the best super hero movie ever made, but taken on its own, it's good. Snyder and company might not have made it to the bleachers, but at least they aimed for them, and there is certainly virtue in that.
Full Review | Original Score: 7/10
January 26, 2011
Hard to sit through, uneven but ambitious and inspired, and I don't want to see it again.
December 5, 2010
A magnificent attempt at Alan Moore's saga and a moving working of art...
October 27, 2010
The film is a ballsy, brainy, and thoroughly bloody examination of human nature, pop culture and 'the good old days' that never were.
Read More | Original Score: 5/5
October 6, 2010
Despite its flaws Watchmen is a stunning film that contains far more substance and intrigue than most comic book screen adaptations.

In 1970, Congress passed the
Controlled Substances Act as a means of discouraging crimes involving dangerous and illegal drugs.
This act lists the majority of illegal substances under five different
Schedules according to their level of danger and potential for abuse,
with Schedule I being the worst. Since this act was passed, state legislatures
have modeled it and provide lists of illegal substances, as well as related
crimes and their penalties. The state of Florida has listed these substances in
§ 893.13, Fla. Stat. (2012), and the penalties can be found in
§ 775.082 and
§ 775.083.
There are numerous kinds of drug crimes that can be committed which are
punishable under the Florida Statutes. Below is a basic list of the most
common offenses:
The penalties for such offenses vary depending on the controlled substance
and the amount in question. For substances including heroin, methamphetamine
and codeine, it is a second degree felony punishable by a prison sentence
of up to 15 years and a fine of up to $10,000. For substances including
marijuana, amphetamine and steroids, it is a third degree felony punishable
by a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of up to $5,000. Lesser
offenses are first degree misdemeanors punishable by imprisonment for
up to one year and a fine of up to $1,000. These offenses can also be
aggravated if committed near a school, place of religious worship, and
other specified facilities.
A drug crime conviction can turn your life upside down, as well as the
lives of your loved ones. Contact a Punta Gorda criminal defense lawyer
at Leskovich Law Group, P.A. today if you are facing charges. Our legal
team has more than 25 years of

It's that time of year again. Even though you may not be able to make it out of your driveway due to the snow, ice and slush it's time to start planning for summer.
Our summer camp registration forms are now available on the Summer Camp page in and Adobe PDF format that allows you to fill them out online and just email them back.
Make sure to read the parent letter as we have undated our payment policies and will now require a Summer Camp direct debit authorization form from each family to reserve a summer camp spot. (It has different choices then the after school program direct debit form.)The weekly cost is the same as last year, but how families will pay their fees has changed.
I think we're all looking forward to summer, but no one more the the Boys & Girls Club. We are going to have an awesome summer!

Consider this an education and not an endorsement.
Let's be honest: There's absolutely no reason to justify spying on your significant other. Not only because relationships are built on "trust" and "mutual respect" and "honesty" and all those other words you'd find on the back of a 1980s afterschool special VHS, but because nine times out of 10, you'll probably be caught red-handed.
If the ethical implications of snooping through your partner's stuff aren't enough to dissuade you, then the prospect of being spotted crouched over their phone, red-faced and frantically swiping through their texts while muttering expletives to yourself, certainly should.
But what if you don't care about getting caught? What if you don't care about "trust" or "mutual respect" or "honesty" or "having respect for another person's space" or "being a decent person instead of a stain on the boxer briefs of humanity"? What if you're 100 percent convinced your partner is cheating, or something, and all you need to do is find the evidence of his/her indiscretions so you can shove it into his/her stupid face? Then you can purchase one of these helpful spy apps to track them down and corner them like the rats they are.
Did we forget to mention that spying on your partner is a bad idea? Well, it's a really, really bad idea. But if you're absolutely, positively, 100 percent sure you want to do it, here's how to catch a cheater with spy apps.
The best spy apps
1) Couple Tracker
Available on the Google Play store, Couple Tracker is like equal opportunity spying. Both partners must agree to allow their digital activity to be monitored, so you guys can check each other's calls, texts, Facebook activity, and GPS location from afar.
There's one catch, though: You and your partner only have access to the first 30 characters of each other's texts, and you can only track your GPS locations within a 30-minute interval. That might seem like a pretty minor caveat, but people who want to cheat tend to figure out a way to do it regardless of the obstacles, so don't be surprised if you see your wife sends out a message like, "Hey Alex can you grab the McAllister file I think I left it at my desk before… OH GOOD THAT'S MORE THAN 30 CHARACTERS NOW TAKE ME, TAKE ME RAMON YOU ARE COLUMBUS AND I AM AMERICA DISCOVER ME, RAMON, DISCOVER ME!!"

- VR porn: A beginner's guide
- The most memorable dick pics on the internet
2) mCouple
MCouple is basically the Couple Tracker app on steroids. No limits—just uninterrupted, uncapped access to your significant other's location, text messages, social media, and phone calls.
Begin fueling your obsession by downloading the cheating app on your phone, registering your mCouple account, and getting a personal ID. Once your partner does the same, you will exchange each other's IDs for unlimited access to each other's information. We're talking practically everything from Facebook chats to cell phone contact entries. It may sound fishy, or too good to be true, depending on what side of the spectrum you're on, but mCouple bypasses those anti-text and phone call tracking laws in the U.S. by pitching its purpose as an app for "building trust between couples." Dare you use it for espionage, you can buy a phone and load the software onto it before handing it off to your potentially conniving, heartless, cheating sweetie.
The app is no longer available in the Google Play store, but you can still download it in iTunes. Just be careful: It doesn't appear to have been updated in a while.
3) mSpy
The software mSpy, of the parent spying company that created mCouple, is basically the granddaddy of surveillance apps: For $30 a month, you can access a loved one's contacts, call logs, text messages, phone recordings, Skype calls, locations, photos and videos, WhatsApp activity, and browser history. If you're a micro-manager on top of a snoopy SOB, and your partner has a nasty porn or gambling or takeout habit, you can even remotely block access to his/her favorite sites using the software. On top of that, Mspy is offering a deal on its Premium package that let users access their partner's messaging apps and incoming calls, for varying prices.

- How to recover all your awesome Myspace photos
The legality of mSpy and other surveillance apps is up for debate. MSpy founders Andrei Shimanovich and Alex Herz say it is, as long as the person under surveillance consents to it beforehand. But there's clearly no way to ensure that all of mSpy's users are adhering to those guidelines, and the fact that the website's demo is of a father tracking his wife and son indicates that most people probably use the software for less-than-totally-legitimate purposes.
MSpy is currently based in the U.K. but is making its way stateside. In 2015, 1.5 million users reportedly used mSpy in 207 different countries, and Shimanovich and Herz announced they're opening up an office in New York City's Financial District.
4) Find My Kids—Footprints
"But I don't have kids," you say. "Why would I use an app called Find My Kids to track down my wayward lover?" Good question, Imaginary Rhetorical Device Person, but Find My Kids comes equipped with a real-time, automatic tracking and sharing function. So if your partner has it on his/her phone, you can find out where they are at any given time, unlike other apps that merely show you their last known location.
Because the app is targeted at anxious parents who want to make sure their kids are still in school, there's a geofencing feature that notifies you if your target (ahem, sorry, I meant "loved one") strays outside of a certain area. Plus, the app has a handy-dandy speeding notification, which is great for those who care about their partners' vehicular safety way more than they care about respecting their privacy.
5) The rest of the internet
You wouldn't necessarily associate sites like Facebook and Instagram with cyberstalking (jeez, it was hard to even type that clause without snickering), but it turns out their utility for tracking love interests goes beyond clicking through your ex-boyfriend's vacation photos and snarking about how much weight he's gained since your breakup.
On mobile, Facebook users' posts usually include a time stamp as well as a location, so if your partner posts a status update or likes a post while on the go, it's a pretty safe bet you can gauge his or her location, without having to shell out $40/month for a questionably legal surveillance device, you adorable psycho, you. Same goes for Instagram: the "upload location" feature tells you exactly where a photo was taken regardless of when/where it's actually uploaded, so if your partner was knocking back shots at a strip joint instead of working late at the office like he/she said, and someone happens to snap photo documentation of it, you'll know. Oh, yes, you'll know.
6) GPS Trackers
If you try most GPS-based trackers, you'll have to work a little harder to be discrete. Designed to consensually report the whereabouts of your friends and family, a GPS-based app must be downloaded to you and your partner's phones to work. Tap into your inner paranoid James Bond and get your hands on the suspect's cell to download the app (there are several to choose from below) and hide it by dragging it to a clear, unused screen. (You can do this by holding down the app and dragging it to the right or left of your screen until you come to a blank screen.) Some apps come with a "stealth" or "invisibility mode," so you may not have to do this. Keep in mind you'll have to find a way to get around password-protected phones.
Once you've expertly downloaded and hidden the app, your significant other will live forever as a tiny icon on your cellphone screen, conveniently displaying his/her location on a map in real time. When you're spying, it's best not to use the messaging features provided on some of these spy apps, unless you want to text your SO about how you've finally caught him or her and that you're leaving. (Not a good move to pull over text.) Here are just a few of many GPS-based spy apps out there.
- Locate and Find My Friends
- GPS Phone Tracker
- Track GPS Phone
- Track Any Phone
- Cell Tracker
- Family Locator- Phone Tracker
- Phone Tracker
- AccuTracker
- mLite
- Surveillance & Mobile Security
Just in case it bears repeating: Before you try any of these spy apps, why not try a direct conversation with your partner? You might be surprised what you find out.
