text: Flip Odyssey Signature P2 Skateboard Deck - Caples 8.25Flip Skateboards | Sworn To Fun Since '91After several years of development, P2 (Pro-2) construction has been created as the next level in skateboard decks. P2 technology includes an oval-shaped [Kevlar] fiber reinforced maple veneer, which enhances the natural performance and pop of its supporting six, thin veneers of maple. The oval shape is designed to spread stresses and loads throughout the entire deck, versus around only the areas closest to the trucks. The P2 construction provides exceptional added resilience to the deck creating a ''Spring Loaded Pop'' effect. P2 decks are thinner and lighter than old fashioned 7-ply wood skateboards. The Kevlar fiber used to make P2 decks is expensive stuff, but ''Spring Loaded Pop'' is priceless.Check stock and price

Pendants can provide both task and general lighting. Since pendants hang within a room, as opposed to close to a ceiling or a wall, they become a focal point, adding a major style element to your décor.
Equipped with shades or glass to avoid glare, pendant light fixtures are a great choice for task lighting over kitchen islands, tables, counters, and other task areas.
When used over end or night tables, pendants free up the space occupied by table lamps. The use of a dimmer and other lighting controls give you the flexibility to vary the light output.

Don't know - but I rather like the jukebox on offer for inviting friends. hmmmmm - need to dig up some friends. Sure I had some once - hehe
They can be expensive. The one TalkGadgets had as a prize was the "Pocket DV2 Camcorder", which FireBox now seem to have for £49. I haven't seen one for real but I don't think it's trying to compete with the full blown digital camcorders. Looks more like a digital camera that can take MPEG movies (I've got a Fuji FinePix that can do that).
Would be great for emailing pictures and short movies to your family though
I'm tempted to get one at that price if only for toy. Maybe the person that did win the TalkGadgets one could write a quick review? Would love to know if it's as good as it sounds!

Very slow food prep, most of our food was dried out on top, from sitting in a warmer too long. I ordered from the gluten-free menu and was served a dish with with flour tortillas - wish I had known before I ate half of them! Wait staff poorly trained on GF, absolutely NOT safe for Celiacs and not worth the risk!
Wait staff very knowledgeable. Nice GF menu. Separate fryer for chips! Delicious!
Food was very bland. My husband said his chicken tasted old and reheated. Okay in a pinch but not very good unfortunately.
Our server Andrew was awesome and the GF menu was wonderful and tasty
4825 Highway 52 North, Rochester, MN 55901-0162
Eaten here several times and never had any problems. Lots of tasty options!
1810 Diers Ave, Grand Island, NE 68803
Love the chips here. They have a separate gf menu with tons of items. Highly recommend the brisket tacos! Staff was knowledgeable about gf.
3320 Armar Dr, Marion, IA 52302
they are knowledgable about what is available thats gluten free!!
2635 Edgewood Rd SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404
good good, nice gf menu. enjoyed.
3425 S Kansas Ave, Topeka, KS 66611
They still have a gluten free menu (also includes vegetarian choices) and chips and salsa. There are lots of options, kids meals aren't listed but you can do kids meals out of adult gluten free menu items (for example kids enchilada meal as enchiladas are gluten free). Our child with Celiac disease didn't get sick. The chips are gluten free but they tasted a little off like they needed to clean or change their grease. The rice was undercooked in places. Overall the food quality was good, not great, but good enough that with the gluten free options and friendly service we would probably eat there again.
1355 Associates Dr, Dubuque, IA 52002
Large Gluten Free menu
4825 Highway 52 North, Rochester, MN 55901-0162
I would have put this lower, but you can not. The whole place was disgusting. There were chips everywhere on the floor both in the seating area and back by the kitchen. The kitchen cleanliness itself was disgusting. You can tell by walking to the bathroom and looking into the kitchen. I have had a strong reaction as a result of this place. I do not recommend!
330 South Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, KS 66502
Gluten free menu with 12+ entrees including salads. I had enchiladas. I ordered three with my choice of meat. I chose pulled chicken, fajita chicken and steak. But they messed up by giving me chicken breast for all three. The manager gave me my entree for free. Much more than I expected. Either way the food was great and the chips and salsa were good. My wife loved her fajita salad. This will be one of our go to places when we move to Manhattan in the fall
9396 State Road 16, Onalaska, WI 54650
Many great gluten free options. Food is delicious!!
2259 So. 9th, #64 Central Mall, Salina, KS 67401
They have a pretty good gf menu. The staff is very nice and the food is OK (not great). The restaurant needs to be renovated.
4825 Highway 52 North, Rochester, MN 55901-0162
they have a gluten free menu. good choices
1355 Associates Dr, Dubuque, IA 52002
My favorite place for Mexican. Gluten free chips, salsa and quest. Huge gluten free menu and drinks! Never gotten sick!
2635 Edgewood Rd SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404
I had the GF Combo #1. fine meal for lunch. they were unexpectedly busy due a neighboring restaurant being closed, but they did a great job of keeping everything running well. This was a good experience!
909 E 30th Ave, Hutchinson, KS 67502
never had a problem with cc here. always my go to when I'm in town.
6507 University Ave, Cedar Falls, IA 50613
Nice choices on the gluten free menu! Good amount of food for the cost!
1411 Waterfront Dr, Iowa City, IA 52240
Good place for gf mexican food. Their margs aren't too bad either.
9396 State Road 16, Onalaska, WI 54650
Great service the waiter came back and told us one of the sides my sister ordered had gluten and told us about another side she could chose from that was gluten free
1810 Diers Ave, Grand Island, NE 68803
4.5 stars. Jumbo margaritas on Thursday special had a tiny amount of alcohol in them. Mild salsa is very mild, spicy is very spicy. But charge extra to get a little of each on the side. Had the two enchiladas with steak and brisket. Quite good!
1331 Flammang Dr, Waterloo, IA 50702
this restaurant is closed
9396 State Road 16, Onalaska, WI 54650
HORRIBLE!!!! Since when did fajitas not come with rice and beans?! Horribly slow service. Not worth the money at all! My husband and I both feel sick to our stomachs (literally not figuratively) after eating there. I would have rather have given it zero stars.
3425 S Kansas Ave, Topeka, KS 66611
6507 University Ave, Cedar Falls, IA 50613
Not good at all. Corn tortilla fell apart and was tasteless. Chicken , beef and veggies in their Gluten Free Fajitas were not good. Ordered Jamieson soda she brings it with Tonic.
3025 N Rock Rd, Wichita, KS 67226
Decent food and pleasant service. Don't order the fish, but I haven't ever been I'll from this establishment.
9396 State Road 16, Onalaska, WI 54650
I was very happy to see the Gluten free menu at our Carlos O'Kellys. They have a good selection of food choices. I would eat there every week if I could!
9396 State Road 16, Onalaska, WI 54650
Gluten friendly, but not free. Got sick after eating the chips; be careful! Manager was non-responsive to our concerns. Wouldn't go out our way for this place again.
4455 N 27th St, Lincoln, NE 68521
they re-did their gluten free menu, have so many options now its hard to choose what to eat
2635 Edgewood Rd SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404
new gluten free menu! brisket taco is very good.
3425 S Kansas Ave, Topeka, KS 66611
Very good gluten free menu! Even got to have chips and salsa!
4455 N 27th St, Lincoln, NE 68521
the Glen free menu was great. lots of options. I did however get sick. I believe it must have had msg in the food. I know this is different from gluten, but it does make a lot of people sick.
1411 Waterfront Dr, Iowa City, IA 52240
Staff was knowledgable and friendly. Got the enchiladas and they were great. Was also impressed with gluten-free chips and salsa!
2306 Plank Rd, Fredericksburg, VA 22401
They have a gluten free menu, good number of choices. Salsa and chips are gluten free. They said they have dedicated fryers. Server was new. The order was specifically put in to be gluten free as the server who brought it out identified it as a gluten free meal.
3831 41st Ave Dr, Moline, IL 61265
1331 Flammang Dr, Waterloo, IA 50702
Changed their GF menu and it is not as good. But Carlos O'Kelly's is always the perfect and easy stand by. Celiac Safe
321 North Roosevelt Avenue, Burlington, IA 52601

This location is now closed
321 North Roosevelt Avenue, Burlington, IA 52601
Good Menu Horrible Service Too Expensive for Mistakes Like giving you Flour tortilla when you order from the GF menu. Don't recommend coming Here!!!
714 W Lake Ave, Peoria, IL 61614
I love Carlos O' Kelly's
631 Lincoln Way, Ames, IA 50010
I have eaten here several times with no issues. They recently expanded their gf menu.
2105 N Veterans Pkwy, Bloomington, IL 61704
We have gone to Carlos O'Kelly's twice now since going GF. The first time was on New Years Eve and even though they were totally packed (a group of 30 put their order in at the same time we did) our meals were excellent. In fact it was so good we decided to go back just last week. However the second time we went the waitress didn't really seem to know much about their gluten free menu. I ordered a Monterrey Torta and when it came out I was SHOCKED! It was over loaded with this nasty cheese sauce. The quality control the second time we went was not good at all. When I came home I was noticing that I was not feeling good at all. My stomach was in so much pain and my daughter who really is the one who has been diagnosed with a sensitivity was sick for 2 days afterwards. She kept telling me her tummy hurt and was extremely fussy. (she's 2). I went online to check out the nutritional information from their website and upon finding nothing on their website I emailed them. While I will say I got a response within 24 hours I was shocked at what it said. "We are hoping to have a Gluten Free Menu release within the next 3 months and are currently working on making it available to our different locations. Also we do not have nutritional or allergen information available because our chef retired at the end of the year and he was the one who had the calorie count for everything." They went on to tell me while they look like a large company they are still a small company. I was rather shocked because they have advertised on this website to have had GIG training.
707 W 23rd St, Lawrence, KS 66046
Average food but they have one of the larger gluten free menus in town. It's nice to have plenty of options compared to the 4 or 5 that it seems most places offer.
2105 N Veterans Pkwy, Bloomington, IL 61704
Large GF menu, wish it were online. unfortunately I have a soy and dairy allergy and they cook EVERYTHING in soybean oil. Luckily, there was one dish I could have. Manager was awesome. I would go back!!
909 E 30th Ave, Hutchinson, KS 67502
Gluten free menu. Knowledgeable staff. Good food.
3130 Pine Lake Rd, Lincoln, NE 68516
appreciate a gf menu with quite a few choices
321 North Roosevelt Avenue, Burlington, IA 52601
Excellent gluten free menu with several options. Makes it clear what you can order from.
3331 4th St SW, Mason City, IA 50401
It's great to be able to have the chips with everyone else! Great service and GF safe.
3425 S Kansas Ave, Topeka, KS 66611
excellent gf menu...authentic and delicious food. ..educated waitstaff (Isaiah was tops). it was great to be able to eat chips and salsa with no worries. gf menu is vast. its well worth your time to dine here!
3425 S Kansas Ave, Topeka, KS 66611
We stopped (while traveling) based on the previous positive reviews. We'll plan to stop here again. Also try other locations based on a good experience. Thanks, Carlos O'Kelly's for making life easier for us!
330 South Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, KS 66502
Very good entree. Educated staff. I would order cilantro lime rice instead of the fajita side of onions and peppers.

Texans usually come to Santa Fe to buy silver, not sell it.
But earlier this month, a Frisco, Texas-based outfit called the American Open Currency Standard approached the Santa Fe Alliance—which represents local businesses—hawking silver coins as a form of local currency.
AOCS claims its coins have "intrinsic value," unlike the weakening US dollar, which is paper backed by "faith and credit" in the government.
The Texans sent pictures of what they have to offer: A 1-ounce copper piece bears a stamp that says it's worth "2 private issued [sic] community dollars." A ½-ounce silver coin, stamped "twenty-five," says "barter is better."
Though prices fluctuate over time, the numbers stamped on AOCS coins bear little relation to the value of those metals in US dollars. Last week, for example, silver was selling on the New York Mercantile Exchange for approximately $18 an ounce; copper was more than $3 a pound.
In its pitch, AOCS suggests its coins be resold at a premium. As an example, the company says, you could sell a 1-ounce silver piece to the public for "only" $40. But because the coin (really worth $18) is stamped with the number 50, AOCS claims, the transaction creates an "increase in their spending power—and an incentive to get involved and support the local community!"
Of course, the plan only works if AOCS' customers can convince enough people to buy silver from them at more than double the market value, then convince others to accept the coins in barter. They could cut out the Texas middlemen entirely by writing "100" on a slip of paper and trying to sell it for $90.
When she got AOCS' email, Santa Fe Alliance Executive Director Vicki Pozzebon smelled a marketing scam.
"Maybe if you peel back the paper there's chocolate in the middle," she says.
While the Texas coin company borrows the rhetoric of the growing buy local movement, Pozzebon cites it as a new—if somewhat convoluted—example of "localwashing." AOCS, she says, is "ripping off the entire 'buy local' campaign."
Last year, the city's Economic Development Department teamed up with the Alliance, the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce and local media outlets for a "Buy Into It!" campaign intended to support local businesses (SFR is an advertising sponsor of the campaign).
The danger of "localwashing" schemes is they potentially create confusion for well-meaning consumers who have been encouraged to shop at brick-and-mortar shops instead of online retailers—or, in AOCS' case, among bank-shy local tradespeople who really do believe that "barter is better."
Adding to the confusion, AOCS pushes gold, silver and copper coins on a "go local, buy local" website with a logo almost exactly like that of the American Independent Business Alliance, the umbrella group for local independent business associations like the Santa Fe Alliance.
(AOCS Executive Director Rob Gray tells SFR in an email, "[No] one on my team has heard from [the American Independent Business Alliance] or received a notice of claim regarding a rights infringement.")
AOCS charges a fee to "fabricate" its "community currency"—profiting perhaps $1 per ounce of silver, according to its international currency director, Eddie Allen. It's then up to buyers to find people willing to take the custom-minted coins in trade.
Experts say that's not barter—it's business.
"As soon as commodities are involved, like gold and silver, it's not what I would consider a community currency," Ed Collom, associate professor of sociology at the University of Southern Maine and an alternative currencies expert, tells SFR.
Collom had never heard of AOCS, but says its business model sounds similar to Liberty Dollar, a private currency operation raided by the FBI and Secret Service in 2007. Allen says the difference is, unlike Liberty Dollar, AOCS doesn't claim that its notes are legal tender.
AOCS' intended customers, apparently, are associations like the Alliance, which represent people interested in the buy local movement, as well as off-the-grid types who plan to hoard precious metals. The company mints coins bearing the faces of Ron Paul and Ayn Rand's fictional hero John Galt, plus "2nd Amendment Silver" and "Surround Money"—a play on Fox News host Glenn Beck's declaration that "they don't surround us…we surround them" (whoever "they" are).
"It's all part of the liberty movement that's springing up all over the country," Allen says.
Indeed, many things could be springing up, given how deeply the US is covered in fertilizer. Nearly 1 in 5 civilians over age 16 is either out of work, scraping by on part-time gigs or so discouraged as to stop job-hunting.
If those national trends hold true locally, then the number of unemployed in Santa Fe County is not 5,000, as officially reported last month, but closer to 8,600—or 11.2 percent of the local labor force.
Should those people listen to federal officials who say economic recovery is underway? Or to pessimists like New York University economics professor Nouriel Roubini (aka Dr. Doom), who last week advised the unemployed to "hunker down," because their "jobs just are not coming back"?
Either way, AOCS has a point about what Allen calls the "fiat currency," better known as the US dollar: It doesn't go far these days.
While some are exploiting the situation, others are trying to create legitimate economic alternatives. Turns out not all "alternative currencies" are bunk.
According to Collom, the US local currency movement peaked in 1996; by 2004, nearly 65 local currencies had failed, 17 were still active and only a few were at all popular.
"Coordinators got burned out after putting a couple years of their lives into these systems," Collom says.
Among the failures: The "Santa Fe Hours" system run by the local Green Party. More recently, Gregory Crabtree researched local currencies for the Santa Fe Alliance. His efforts came to naught.
"It's not something that one person can do," Crabtree, who works as a warehouse manager for local solar installation company Positive Energy, says.
One promising model is the Massachusetts-based "BerkShares," co-founded by Susan Witt. BerkShares are like coupons on steroids. Participants trade US dollars for BerkShare notes, which are good for a discount at local merchants (this is the model AOCS borrowed for its coin-selling business).
Collom says another model, "time banking," is gaining traction in this recession. A time bank offers a virtual way to account for the value of labor.
"A lawyer who provides an hour of legal advice would earn the same as someone who shovels snow," Collom says. "It's very egalitarian."
Portland, Maine's time bank has 700 members, Collom says, most of whom are low-income. "It increases their standard of living," he says. One popular purchase: health care.
Successful local currencies often have institutional backing and startup funding (in US dollars), Collom says. Crabtree says a few Santa Feans are considering a time bank—but aren't ready to put their money where their mouth is.
According to Pozzebon, past local currency efforts lacked leadership; she recalls being deluged with contradictory ideas.
"I said, somebody needs to go figure it out and come to me with a proposal," she says. "I never heard from them again."

Combining knowledge of the human system and engineering-based
quantitative problem-solving skills, Biomedical Engineering is at
the forefront of research and development today. Spanning
both the Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Science and the
School of Engineering & Applied Science, our faculty and
students work on projects without limitations or departmental
UB Biomedical Engineering Researchers Develop a new drug
delivery method to target cancer cells - not the entire body - and
limit the side effects of chemotherapy. This image shows a
nanoballoon before (left) and after (right) being hit by a red
laser. The laser causes the balloon to pop open and release the
anti-cancer drugs directly at a tumor. Credit: Jonathan
We provide the environment for you to excel. Our faculty
members work closely with students as part of their research
activities, providing them with the skills and knowledge needed for
them to become successful researchers themselves.
The BME core courses provide hands-on engineering experiences
that involve design and modeling. Our students are encouraged to
explore particular interests in greater depth. Students have
numerous opportunities to participate in research and watch medical
discoveries move from bench to bedside.
The human body is a harsh environment for implanted devices. A device in contact with human tissue must deal with a combination of galvanic corrosion, stress-enhanced crack growth, biofilm growth and immune response attack...
Nanoparticles can be used to fight cancer, but, uncontrolled in the environment, they can be a health risk. Dr. Yun's research span these areas to include developing engineered theranostics and multifunctional nanoparticles...
Better imaging and better devices are key to improving the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral stroke. Dr. Ionita's research focuses on these areas through the development of x-ray detectors...
Seeing inside the body is of critical importance for diagnosing and treating disease. Dr. Xia is an expert in an emerging technique for generating high-resolution images from inside the body called photoacoustic computed tomography or PACT. By combining acoustic signals, basically ultrasound, with optical signals from lasers, this technique produces finer details about tissue structure than either method on its own. Dr. Xia is developing this technique to be able to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment, and to aid in neurological research.
Tissue engineering has long held promise for building new organs to replace damaged body parts. Dr. Sarkar's research focuses on overcoming the challenging of growing cells and organizing them into 3-dimensional functional structures...
Understanding what happens at the bone-implant interface can only develop better orthopaedic implants. Dr. Ehrensberger has developed a novel cell culture chamber that allows for simultaneous assessment of the interfacial electrochemistry...
Adapting electronics to function in, on and around the body to improve human health and well-being is the focus of Dr. Titus' research. For example, the days of being blinded by glare from the sun, despite the $300 sunglasses straddling your face, may soon be over...

Choosing Ice Screw Length
I am going to start leading ice this season, but don't know which length ice screws I should get. I only have the ducats for eight screws. Should I get long screws, or short screws, or in between?
Ice screws typically come in up to five sizes, from 10 to 22 centimeters long. The length(s) you need will depend on the thickness of the ice, and the ice quality. Always, you want the screw's hanger to rest flush with the ice. Place a screw that is longer than the ice is thick, and you'll have to tie it off. Besides being an extra fiddle step, tying off a screw weakens the placement because the webbing can break (or slip off) before the screw itself fails. Conversely, if your screw is so short the threads can't engage the solid underlying ice -- bad!
There is a misconception that long screws are always stronger than short screws. In fact, a long screw in shit ice will be weaker than a short screw in solid ice. This is because ice screws rely on their threads gripping the ice. Unless a long screw has more threads (some do, some don't), it won't necessarily be any stronger than a shorter screw.
If you are clear on all this, don't be: I've had long screws hit air pockets deep in the ice and become nearly worthless. In that situation, a shorter screw that would keep the threads engaged in the good ice would be stronger. Generally, however, surface ice isn't as solid as the underlying ice, and you need a longer screw to reach it.
For novice ice climbers, short stubby screws are usually too short because they won't let you get to the good ice down deep, and the long 20- to 22-centimeter jobs are too much work to place. If I could only have seven screws, I'd get one 13, three 16, two 19, and one 22 centimeters long. This would put me heavy on the medium workhorse lengths, with one extra-long screw for really rotten ice, and one short screw for thin ice. Gear Guy has spoken!

A Conversation with Hanna Pitkin - YouTube
Hanna Pitkin, Professor Emerita of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley, talks about her life and career with Nancy Rosenblum, Professor of Ethics and Politics in Government at Harvard University and Co-Editor of the Annual Review of Political Science. Dr. Pitkin discusses her childhood, growing up between two "Jewish intellectual left-wingers" who fled 1930s Germany to Oslo, Prague, and eventually Los Angeles. She describes how her refugee status and acquisition of new languages led her to become a scholar in political science. In 1967, she published "The Concept of Representation," which won the 2003 Johan Skytte Prize in Political Science "for her groundbreaking theoretical work, predominantly on the problem of representation." She went on to study other topics such as gender and politics in Machiavelli and Hannah Arendt's concept of "the Social."

Michael Ian Black & Julia Turner | Navel Gazing
As a veteran stand-up comic, an actor in beloved movies and series like The State, Stella, Wet Hot American Summer, and more, and a New York Times best-selling author, Michael Ian Black has seen a lot. Which is why the surprise of seeing middle age rear its ugly head in the form of a grim medical diagnosis was so, well, surprising. In Navel Gazing: True Tales of Bodies, Mostly Mine (but also my mom's, which I know sounds weird), he trains his irreverent comedic eye on the foibles of the forty-and-up set.
For a different perspective on middle-aged man in general, and on one very funny middle-aged man specifically, join Michael and Slate's editor-in-chief and Culture Gabfest co-host Julia Turner for a conversation in the Rare Book Room.

"Spain in Our Hearts": Adam Hochschild's New Book
As Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has catapulted the issue of fascism into the mainstream U.S. political realm, we turn to best-selling author Adam Hochschild, who has just written a remarkable, sweeping history of the Spanish Civil War. The book is called "Spain in Our Hearts: Americans in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939." It tells the story of how the Spanish Civil War captivated the world with volunteers flooding to Spain to bolster the democratic government's efforts to stave off a fascist uprising led by Francisco Franco and aided by Hitler and Mussolini. Some 2,800 Americans went to Spain as volunteers in the fight against fascism, and nearly a quarter of them perished there. The Americans were known as the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. After two-and-a-half years of fighting, the fascists were able to declare victory on April 1, 1939. World War II began shortly afterward. Adam Hochschild is the author of eight books, including "King Leopold's Ghost," "To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918" and now "Spain in Our Hearts: Americans in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939."

This section gives you information about some of the more common types of cases and the steps you should take as you prepare for your small claims case.
Click on the topic that relates to your dispute:
California has a Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) to keep repair shops from taking advantage of you. If you are unhappy with work done on your car, you can file a complaint with the BAR.
Before you file a complaint
Talk to the repair shop service manager.
Keep these tips in mind:
Filing a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR)
Remember: BAR cannot represent you in court or collect money for you.
You can sue for unpaid wages if you were not paid for work you did. You may also be entitled to statutory damages under California Labor Code section 203. Check with the small claims legal advisor.
If you qualify to use the services of the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, file a claim with them before filing with the small claims court. You will find a lot of helpful information in several langauges on their website or you can call them at: 1-415-557-7878.
To sue a government agency, you need to prove that:
In most cases, you only have 6 months to file your small claims court claim once the government agency rejects your claim. File a copy of your rejection letter with your small claims court claim.
Note: You cannot sue a federal government agency in small claims court!
To present your claim to the government agency
Get an official form from the agency:
Deadline to file your claim with the agency
If you missed your deadline, you can ask for permission to file a late claim. Talk to your small claims advisor for help with this.
The agency will tell you if your claim is approved or denied. If you hear nothing it is considered denied after 45 days.
If your claim is denied
If the agency denies your claim or if you have received no response after 45 days, you can sue in small claims court.
If you receive a written rejection of your claim by the governmental agency, you have 6 months from the date the notice was personally delivered or deposited in the mail to file the claim. If you do not get a rejection letter, you have 2 years to file from the day the incident occurred. But do not count on having 2 years to file your claim. To be safe, file your claim within the 6 months from when you should have received the rejection later. Talk to a lawyer or your court's small claims advisor if you are unsure of your deadline.
Once you file in small claims court, the process is the same as with any other case in small claims court. The defendant will be the public agency you filed your claim against. Read Suing Someone for information and instructions to file your small claims case.
A security deposit is any money a landlord takes from a tenant in case the property is damaged. It is separate from the "last month's rent" which a landlord may require in addition to the security deposit.
There are limits on the amount of the security deposit:
Security deposit cases are usually handled in small claims court. They cannot be dealt with in an unlawful detainer (eviction) case.
Return of security deposit
After a tenant moves out, a landlord has 21 days to:
A landlord can deduct from the tenant's security deposit:
The landlord can withhold from the security deposit ONLY those amounts that are necessary and reasonable and NOT a result of "ordinary and reasonable wear and tear." For example, a landlord may not make you pay for painting, new carpets, or curtains unless there were serious damages that were beyond ordinary and reasonable wear and tear. And the landlord cannot use your security deposit to repair problems that existed in the unit before you moved in.
Security deposit disputes
If your landlord does not return the entire amount of your security deposit within the 21 days required by law, and you dispute the deductions from the deposit:
If you and the landlord cannot reach an agreement on the amount of the security deposit returned, you can file a lawsuit against the landlord for return of the security deposit. You can sue for:
You can sue the landlord in small claims as long as the total amount sued for is $10,000 or less.
Click if you are the tenant and want to file a small claims case against your landlord for return of your security deposit.
In general, contractors that fix your home must have a license from the State of California. To find out if your contractor is licensed, call the Contractors State License Board at 1-800-321-2752.
A contractor must be licensed
Figuring out how much money to sue for
In small claims court, an person can sue for up to $10,000 for damages that someone else caused him or her.
If the total amount you can sue for is over $10,000, you have to decide whether to give up the rest of the money and just sue for $10,000 or file your case in the civil division of the superior court, as either a limited civil case (for $25,000 or less) or an unlimited civil case (for over $25,000).
If you win and your licensed contractor cannot pay
A contractor has to pay a $12,500 bond to be able to get a license. If there is a violation of the licensing law, you can sue the company that holds the bond. Name that company as a defendant. Read the licensing law at Business and Professions Code, chapter 9 (starting at section 7000) .
Contact the Contractors State License Board online or by telephone at 1-800-321-2752 to get the name of the bonding company.
Note: The bonding company is a guarantor. You can only sue a guarantor for up to $6,500 ($4,000 if you are not a natural person; $2,500 if they do not charge for the guarantee). But you can sue a guarantor for up to $10,000 if you are a natural person and the guarantor is the Registrar of Contractors (the executive officer of the Contractors' State License Board).
If someone writes you a bad check, you can sue for the original amount of the check, plus 3 times the amount of the check up to an additional $1,500.
How to sue for a bad check:
For your small claims trial:
If someone stops payment on a check without a good faith dispute, you can sue for the amount of the check plus 3 times the amount of the check, with a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $1,500.

Brief Intervention for Drug Misuse in the Emergency Department (BIDMED)
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Although screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) approaches are effective in reducing alcohol misuse and its associated risk-taking behaviors and negative consequences, there is little research demonstrating the effectiveness of SBIRT for illicit and/or prescription drug misuse. Misusers of illicit and/or prescription drugs frequently seek medical care in emergency departments (EDs), particularly for reasons related to their misuse. As a result, the ED is well suited as a site to conduct an analysis of the effectiveness of SBIRT for this population.
The Brief Intervention for Drug Misuse for the Emergency Department (BIDMED) study is a randomized, controlled, trial that will include adult ED patients at a large, academic, trauma center (Rhode Island Hospital) and a community hospital (The Miriam Hospital) who have a subcritical illness or injury and whose screening indicates illicit and/or prescription drug misuse. BIDMED participants will be randomized to receive screening only (SO) or brief intervention (BI) with appropriate referral to treatment. Participants will complete a battery of blinded baseline assessments using standardized instruments as well as adapted instruments specific to the aims of this study. All participants will undergo blinded follow-up assessments at three, six, and twelve months post-randomization. The primary hypotheses addressed in the BIDMED study are that, compared to participants in the SO arm, participants in the BI arm will show a significantly greater reduction in: (1) drug misuse within the prior 30 days at three months post-randomization, (2) behaviors associated with drug misuse at six months post-randomization; and (3) negative physical health, psychosocial health, and socioeconomic consequences at twelve months post-randomization. As a secondary aim, the impact of BI compared to SO will be assessed on participants contacting, enrolling in, and completing a drug treatment program. In addition, the impact of BI compared to SO on increasing uptake of HIV and hepatitis B/C screening will be measured. A mechanisms of change model that addresses the expected mediators and moderators of change to explain the effects of SBIRT in this setting will also be developed and tested. Further, the epidemiology of illicit and/or prescription drug misuse will be assessed in a random sample of ED patients.
