For nearly a year, crosstown cyclists were crushed. If you wanted to cruise between Oakbrook and Fruit Valley, you had to decode detour signs and wiggle through traffic. Not good.
Now the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway trail has reopened — it's a byproduct of the new St. Johns Road flyover at state Highway 500 — and cyclists are zipping along a new landscape that connects east and west Vancouver. St. Johns Road is exactly where it used to be, except it's 20 feet higher in the sky.
Now seems a good time to review the history and appreciate the new features of the eight-mile Burnt Bridge Creek trail — what's often subtitled "a green jewel in the heart of the city."
The jewel remains hidden to many. "We feel somehow we are behind Portland — it's progressive and we're not," said Gary Bock, a veteran of much Clark County wetlands restoration work. "When I introduce people from Portland to the trail, they are stunned and amazed. 'You can ride all the way from Vancouver Lake to east Vancouver with just a half-dozen street crossings?' They're absolutely aghast."
Occasionally aghast during initial creation of the trail were the Washington Department of Transportation, which required persuading to let the trail come
alongside and underneath state Highway 500, and the Bonneville Power Administration, which resisted the idea of pedestrians below its power lines. Complications and cost meant the project took 30 years to complete, from the late 1960s until the late 1990s, according to Kelly Punteney, a former city Parks and Recreation planner.
But the city and some influential citizens — such as Dorothy Langsdorf and Bill Firstenburg (son of late banker Ed) — never stopped pushing. Former city manager Victor Erlich made a "visionary" contribution, Punteney said, in matching stormwater money with recreation money to make the eastern stretch of the Burnt Bridge Creek basin double as a pedestrian greenway.
The trail is paved end to end and considered a multi-use facility — available to pedestrians and wheelchairs as well as cyclists — and many, but not all, street crossings feature pedestrian-activated signals. Traffic can get heavy in places, so don't take risks — just wait for go.
Stewart Glen
Let's start at the westernmost trailhead, Fruit Valley Road at Bernie Drive. It's the oldest paved trail in Vancouver, built in 1985, and it grew notorious among cyclists for a bumpy ride until 2008, when a $1.5 million renovation widened and improved the surface and the trailhead. Remember that gravel minefield of a parking lot? Today there's just steep onstreet parking; don't forget to set your emergency brake.
Enjoy lush slopes of forest and fern to the south and views of the ridge to the north. This section of creek more or less demarcates the boundary between Vancouver and west Hazel Dell. As you head east, there are wide-open bottomlands and views of private pastureland. Pass over two pedestrian bridges, observe stop signs at dead-end Alki Road and Second Avenue, and notice the undeveloped city park to the south.
Leverich Park
A hop down and across Hazel Dell Avenue keeps you on the trail; take in glamorous rear views of downscale rentals and commercial storage. Climb the slope and coast the I-5 overpass. Enjoy the downhill glide and veer right; the trail bottoms out in a cul-de-sac — watch out for cars — and rises into Leverich Park, which used to be dominated by transients but lately has been seized by flying discs. You're approaching the tee-off for hole No. 10, so be careful of disc golfers and their airborne projectiles.
Stay straight until you must turn right and over a little bridge. Push up into the thick of the disc golf course — anything slicing through the air will be coming from your right — and bear left. A steep rise here doesn't last long. Cross 15th Street and head straight down 41st Circle. You'll have to choose a side and squeeze past a traffic island. There's a horse barn on your left.
Arnold Park
Here's a Vancouver park that most folks don't know about, named for H.W. Arnold, ancestor of the late mapmaking legend Phil. The trail plunges through thick vegetation and then out across a wide-open landscape ruled by Bonneville Power Administration towers and cables. There's a spur to your right that will become a picturesque stopping-off spot with a bench, according to Washington State Dept. of Transportation project manager Lori Figone.
Here comes trouble: your first huge hill. Struggle up to St. Johns Road — we won't tattle if you get off your bike and walk — and catch your breath while admiring the majestic rear view.
This street crossing is still temporary, while road construction finishes up, so be extra careful here, especially with that wicked right turn; this is yards from the spot where Hudson's Bay High School teacher Gordon Patterson was hit on his bike and killed by a driver paying attention to texting, not the road, in 2009.
The new crossing will be a little to the south, eliminating that nasty turn, and feature what's called a HAWK beacon — the latest word in highly visible pedestrian-activated crossing signals. "It's going to be a much safer crossing than it used to be," Figone said.
Walls of stone
Glide downhill again, taking advantage of altitude to gaze upon the thicket to your left. Then study the unusual construction of state Highway 500 here: a wall of stones held in place by heavy mesh.
"That's called a welded wire wall," Figone said. Most highway walls were built this way and then closed up with concrete panels, Figone said, but tight funding led to this insight: leaving the panels off creates an interesting look, saves money and also discourages graffiti in what has historically been a high-vandalism area.
The trail winds south below the highway. No additional pillars were built into Burnt Bridge Creek to support the new on- and offramps, Figone said. Gentle slopes pass through shady woods and behind Creekside Apartments. There's a smattering of graffiti and one disturbingly butchered park bench here that's long overdue for replacement.
Fight your way up the final winding rise, and keep following those power lines. Careful crossing busy Fourth Plain. These soccer fields are known as BPA Park, and you may have to avoid players and parents crowding the trail. Stuck to the bottom of BPA Park is diminutive Meadow Homes Park. Cross 18th Street — and brace yourself for the bumpiest bit of the whole trail.
Wide open, hidden
Jostle the half-mile from 18th to Devine Road (note to city: any money for repaving this?). Here at the Devine trailhead, there's a restroom, a water fountain and a map. There's also a parking lot, in case you want to call for motorized rescue. But don't — you're entering the wide-open-spaces section of the trail, where views are grand and your way is straight and flat.
"It's a crazy wide floodplain," Bock said. "Way too wide for a creek that size. It never got developed because it's so goopy down there."
Don't skip the (poorly signed) sightseeing detour to the north, which loops around a wetland teeming with wildlife. It's probably the prettiest spot on the entire trail, and it's generally bypassed.
"It filters the water before it heads for the Columbia River," Bock said. "It also happens to be a beautiful, charming waterfowl habitat. How cool is that?"
More miles, years?
The Andresen crossing boasts one of those rapidly responsive HAWK beacons; barely a moment after you've requested the green, it's time to move along. Note the greenhouse on your right, where the city grows native plants that the Greenway/Sensitive Lands Team and its many volunteers use to replace invasive species.
Pass under 86th Avenue and you're nearly done. Here comes a cinderblock wall and a bench where you can rest after your odyssey. A spur leads north through Meadowbrook Marsh to Burton Road, but the only parking available here is the cul-de-sac at 19th Circle. Check the map: Yup, you did it!
Ready for the return trip?
"I hope we put it back together as good as it was," said Figone. "Typically we're doing highways and freeways; we don't have to design for bikes and pedestrians. There was a lot of coordination."
"I hope people don't get the impression the trail is done," Punteney said. "We still have the rest of an 18-foot corridor that's ripe for a trail that goes all the way to Pacific Park."
That would add something like four more miles to this beautiful trail. We hope it doesn't take 30 more years.
More awesome rides
Burnt Bridge Creek may be the best paved bike trail Clark County has to offer, but it's not the only one. Here are other terrific paths for pedal pushers.
o Salmon Creek Greenway Trail. Just as picturesque as Burnt Bridge Creek, but at three miles it's shorter and easier, with no street crossings. Klineline Pond, where you must pay for parking during summer months, is at the east end, and the 36th Avenue bridge is at the west. Enjoy big views of wetlands and restored wildlife habitat, or take in a game at the girls' softball fields.
o Capt. William Clark Park. An easy three-mile trail runs along a dike paralleling the Columbia River. Park at South Index Street, just south of the Port of Camas-Washougal.
o Lacamas Heritage Trail. Gravel but worth it: a 3.5-mile straightaway that runs from Goodwin Road along Lacamas Lake to Round Lake, and connects with more trails there.
o Padden Parkway Trail. Not much to look at since it hugs the south side of the crosstown freeway, but it's 11 miles of flat, easy riding.
o Vancouver Lake to Frenchman's Bar. A roadside path covers the 2.5-mile distance, with gorgeous views of farm fields and lots of waterfowl. Plus, try the dead-end Rieger Memorial Highway along the west side of Vancouver Lake for the same views from an even more remote location.

HARP 2 Re-Fi Program Promises to Make Qualification Easier for Underwater Borrowers / Las Vegas Foreclosure Options
When you have a conventional and conforming mortgage, but you find yourself underwater, there is a way to refinance without the need for mortgage insurance or a down principal payment. You can get a refinance thanks to the HARP 2 program. This plan was released on March 17, 2012, and it is available exclusively for American homeowners. Read More: Las Vegas Foreclosure Options
The original HARP program came out in April 2009 and it basically stands for "Home Affordable Refinance Program". Additionally, the plan is known by the names: Relief Refinance, Making Home Affordable program, DU Refi+ or Obama Refi plan. Like any other refinance plan, the HARP program comes with a few eligibility requirements. The securitization date for the mortgage you have right now must be before June 1, 2009. Remember that you can't use the plan if you have a jumbo, USDA or FHA mortgage. Read More: Las Vegas Short Sale / Las Vegas Foreclosure
The HARP 2.0 Refinance program was launched this year, on March 17, and it is interchangeable with the Making Home Affordable plan released by the government. In case your loan doesn't appear on those sites, you cannot apply for HARP. At the same time, you have to keep in mind that you need to obtain eligibility prior to the refinance program. This is only a pre-qualifier. There's something else you need to take into account. In order to apply for the plan you must be updated with the payments on your mortgage. When you know for sure that you are eligible for HARP, you have to get in touch with your lender to submit the application. If your lender doesn't do HARP, you can always call on another lender to help you. Read More: Las Vegas Short Sale / Las Vegas Foreclosure
The HARP program is mostly the same with Freddie Mac as it is with Fannie Mae. There might be small differences, but this won't affect anybody. In general, the guidelines are the same. After the bank sends you the rate quote for the HARP program and you feel that the interest rate is too high, you should shop around. By looking for a second opinion you can save a lot of money. Some lenders might refuse your HARP mortgage because your credit score is low or because the LTV is high. Generally speaking, banks have different approaches. If this happens to you, all you have to do is to search for a different bank. Read More: Las Vegas Short Sale / Las Vegas Foreclosure
HARP mortgage rates aren't any different from traditional refinance rates. So, it's always a good idea to shop around. This way, you'll be sure to find the HARP program with the lowest mortgage rates. Finally, remember that the HARP plan will not help you stop or delay foreclosures. It only helps you refinance and obtain a low mortgage rate. Read More: Las Vegas Short Sale / Las Vegas Foreclosure
Regarding eligibility for the HARP program, you might want to know that the home loan needs to be paid on time for at least 6 months and it's mandatory to be the first time using the HARP refinancing program. Even if you're not 'underwater', you are still able to use HARP and never forget that the program only refinances your existing loan balance. Read More: Las Vegas Short Sale / Las Vegas Foreclosure

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources hosted the celebration of National Hunting and Fishing Day at Stonewall Resort on Saturday.
The resort was filled with vendors, demonstrations, and information centers all to celebrate West Virginia's great landscape for outdoor sports.
"This is most sportsman's dream in West Virginia because of the amount of land that you can hunt on and the premier fishing areas that we have. West Virginia is just premier for everybody. As far as the quality of deer, and the quality of deer I don't think anybody surrounding us can compete with what we have," said Doug Benson, of West Virginia DNR
The WVDNR sponsored some special events just for the kids.
"We've got a youth challenge going on where we have about 22 or 23 events that kids can participate in and learn some outdoor skills," Benson said.
Benson said the youth challenge gives the representatives from the WVDNR a chance to work with the kids and teach them something in a safe way.
"It gives a chance to bring kids that haven't had a chance to shoot a bow, shoot a muzzleloader, or shoot a shotgun at some trap. It gives them a chance to try something that they may not have tried before, and find out if it's something that's interesting to them," Benson said.
Kids got the chance to try out different guns shooting at stable targets, and also a bow and arrow shooting at moving targets.
Dennis Sheppard had two children at National Hunting and Fishing Day and he said he appreciates the WVDNR hosting the event.
"I'm impressed with their demeanor, the way they handle the kids, it's just phenomenal. I just appreciate the way they deal with the kids, and they take the time out every year and do that," said Sheppard, of Buckhannon.
Sheppard's son Ryan said he enjoys different parts of the youth challenge.
"I like the shooting with the archery and the guns. You learn about safety and how to shoot," said Ryan Sheppard.

Coming to a prison near you! Broadway Stages, the Brooklyn-based film, television, and music production house, has locked up Hollywood on Staten Island and thrown away the key. The media facility, which already has 27 sound stages within the New York City boroughs, has purchased the former Arthur Kill Correctional Facility on Staten Island's west shore—which closed in December 2011 after a drop in prison populations—for a cool $7 million. Stages has plans to turn the prison into a 69-acre moviemaking mecca with five state-of-the-art sound stages designed to bring in the industry's top filmmakers.
"Welcome to Hollywood East," said Republican state Sen. Andrew Lanza, who helped land the deal. "I'll take a film studio over a prison any day."
This reinvestment in defunct properties, plus the $400 million in tax revenue generated by the film and television production industry, shows the positive effect entertainment has had on the New York economy. Throw in a 30 percent tax credit (that trumps California's 20–25 percent, and competes with up-and-coming film production states like Louisiana and Georgia), and it's no wonder in-state production has been on the rise.
In 2012, the Motion Picture Association of America released a study that showed a nearly 25 percent increase in New York state film industry employment between 2008 and 2011. A Made in NY 2013 report stated: "TV production grew by nearly 82 percent, driving most of the sector growth with dramas, reality and talk shows."
The Arthur Kill project can only help grow those numbers as we move further into 2014. The prison-to-studio conversion—expected to begin as early as this summer, depending on the Department of Buildings permit process—is projected to bring up to 1,500 well-paid industry jobs over the next five years, which is welcome news in a recovering economy.
The possibility of this movie studio adds an extra 341,000 square feet of space—divvied up between 43 buildings—to Stages' current studios, where the likes of HBO, CBS, Warner Bros. and Universal Studios, and shows like "The Good Wife," "Blue Bloods," "Smash," and the upcoming Alfonso Cuarón–created "Believe" on NBC, are housed. The expansion would also add some stiff competition for major NYC film studios like Queens' Kaufman Astoria and Silvercup, and Steiner Studios in Brooklyn.
In a statement, Broadway Stages President Gina Argento, who owns the company with her brother, Tony Argento, said they expect to make a portion of the facility available for use within six months of sealing the deal that has yet to be publicly approved and negotiated. They've projected a two-year completion following the initial, partial opening.

PARIS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Below are company-related news and stories from French and Benelux media which could have an impact on the region's markets or individual stocks.
Credit Agricole CIB, which has a shipping portfolio worth $15 billion, is likely to set aside extra provisions this year to cover potential losses after the sharp downturn in the industry, a senior official at bank said.
The French nuclear group says it has won contracts worth over 5 billion euros ($5.61 billion) to provide various services at Britain's $24 billion Hinkley Point nuclear project.
Airbus Group SAS is likely to merge with its main planemaking unit, Airbus SAS, as part of a corporate restructuring being finalised on Thursday, people familiar with the matter said.
Vivendi says it is seeking a seat on the board of Ubisoft where it is the largest shareholder. It said it would be good corporate governance to be represented on the Ubisoft's board of directors considering its level of equity interest.
JCDeceaux says its subsidiary MCDecaux, 85 percent owned by JCDecaux and 15 percent by Mitsubishi Corporation, was awarded a 20-year Tokyo advertising bus shelter contracts by Fuji Express and Tokyu Bus Corporation.

Minimum net worth: $24.79 million
The first-term lawmaker's 2011 minimum net worth nearly rebounded to that which she reported as a candidate after dropping precipitously last year to $10.63 million.
The Tennessean's reported minimum net worth is $24.79 million.
One of Black's largest listed assets is $5 million to $25 million in Aegis Sciences stock that also generated $100,000 to $1 million in income last year after a merger.
According to the company's website, Aegis started as a sports anti-doping laboratory at Vanderbilt University and is now a full-service forensic sciences company. Black's husband, David Black, is president and CEO.
A rental property in Nashville worth $5 million to $25 million and a money market account held by David Black were the couple's other largest assets.
The Blacks also purchased two new rental properties in Nashville during 2011, which had minimum reported values of $500,000 and $1 million. The reported mortgages for the properties fell into the $500,000 to $1 million range, nearly offsetting their value.

Many thanks for visiting All-About-Forensic-Psychology.Com. My name is David Webb and I have a first class honors degree in psychology and a Masters in Occupational psychology. For a number of years, I was a lecturer in psychology at the University of Huddersfield (UK).
A published author, I wrote The Psychology Student Guide in 2012 and The Incredibly Interesting Psychology Book in 2013, both of which are international #1 bestsellers. My latest book, On This Day in Psychology was published in March 2015.
A passionate promoter of psychology through social media, over 850,000 people like my psychology Facebook page and I'm featured on the British Psychological Society list of the 100 most followed psychologists and neuroscientists on Twitter.
I really hope you find the website a useful forensic psychology resource.
It was a result of my research with forensic odontologists that I ended up pursuing an interest in forensic psychology.
Forensic odontologists conduct body identification work from dental remains at accident/crime scenes and mass casualty sites. For instance in the aftermath of a plane crash and at The World Trade Center post 9/11.
The research I carried out examined the emotional and psychological impact of this kind of work and in a separate project I also explored the forensic implications of biting behavior within a criminal investigation; given that bite marks are often found on the victims of violent and sexual crime.
If you'd like to read some of my published research, you can do so by clicking on the following links.
The Emotional and Psychological Impact of Mass Casualty Incidents on Forensic Odontologists
Forensic Implications of Biting Behavior: A Conceptually Underdeveloped Area of Investigation
Conducting research with a group that operates under the umbrella of forensic science meant that I had the opportunity to attend a number of forensic conferences.
Most of the conferences had a forensic psychology or behavioral science section; and as a result of attending presentations on topics such as criminal profiling, my interest was ignited.
I then had the opportunity to write an undergraduate course in forensic psychology, which in turn provided the basis for the information and topics addressed on this website.
"David Webb is a gem for anyone interested in promoting the science of psychology. He comes with a ready made audience of nearly a million people specifically interested in this topic. Most importantly, David is not a salesman; he cares deeply about psychology and curates excellent content on the topic." (Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener)
If you are looking to promote anything connected to psychology...I can help. Click on following link to read the Media Pack for details.

Please feel free to get in touch with me via the following contact form and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
I have built three other websites around on my academic teaching and research interests. Namely:
Based on the criminal profiling content covered on this website, Criminal Profiling: An Introductory Guide is designed to let you dive straight into this fascinating topic. The guide provides clear and concise information on such things as the origins of criminal profiling, FBI profiling methodology and limitations; and whether becoming a profiler is a realistic career path.

Michael Desmond/Summit Entertainment
Michael Desmond/Summit Entertainment
(WARNING: The below content features many obscenities and other insanities. Bow out now if you are easily offended by sorority girls gone wild off the deep end.)
Now that you've been warned about mature content, we'll let this sorority girl warn you about the emotional roller coaster you're about to experience: "If you just opened this like I told you to, tie yourself down to whatever chair you're sitting in, because this email is going to be a rough f--king ride."
Gawker recently obtained an email sent out to the Delta Gamma chapter at the University of Maryland by one of their own sisters in which the sister (who Gawker has dubbed "Julia") conveys to her fellow Deltas how displeased she is by some of their behavior. And, in the process, uses the F-word 41 times.
The insane viralness of the email is on par with the insanity of Julia herself! Feel free to imagine that Colin Farrell à la In Bruges is reading you the below passages:
1. The Original Offenses: "I've been getting texts on texts about people LITERALLY being so f--king AWKWARD and so f--king BORING. If you're reading this right now and saying to yourself "But oh em gee Julia, I've been having so much fun with my sisters this week!", then punch yourself in the face right now so that I don't have to f--king find you on campus to do it myself."
(Question: Does Julia have a LoJack on every sorority sister? And, if so, is she also willing to track down every sister and polygraph them to see whether they have been literally awkward and/or boring in order to deliver a subsequent punch in the face?)
2. The Double Newsflash: "Newsflash you stupid c--ks: FRATS DON'T LIKE BORING SORORITIES. Oh wait, DOUBLE F--KING NEWSFLASH: SIGMA NU IS NOT GOING TO WANT TO HANG OUT WITH US IF WE F--KING SUCK, which by the way in case you're an idiot and need it spelled out for you, WE F--KING SUCK SO FAR."
3. Julia Being...Julia: "Are you people f--king retarded? That's not a rhetorical question, I LITERALLY want you to email me back telling me if you're mentally slow so I can make sure you don't go to anymore night time events."
(Question: Did anyone respond? Double f--king question: Is anyone else hoping that Julia's life inspires the collegiate follow-up Mean Girls has needed?)
4. The Punishment: "I will f--king c--t punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don't give a f--k if you SOR me, I WILL F--KING ASSAULT YOU."
(Question: Not so much a question just a general, Oh my god. Did anyone else just imagine Julia ripping off her ponytail and hulking out?)
5. The Sign-Off: "And for those of you who are offended at this email, I would apologize but I really don't give a f--k. Go f--k yourself."
A Delta Gamma chapter president has since told Gawker that this email "does not reflect our chapter's values" (read the entire original email as well as the Delta rebuttal here). The email has already spawned a parody Twitter account and at least one dramatic reading.

Feds say slow pace on Great Lakes toxic site cleanup may take 77 years
An effort to clean up the most toxic sites on the Great Lakes is going so slowly, it would take 77 more years to get it all done at its current pace.
That's according to the inspector general's office for the federal EPA.
That office analyzed the proposed clean-ups of almost six dozen sites on the Great Lakes which were identified as early as the late 1980s.
At the request of former President Bush, a task force recommended $20 million in clean-ups in 2005.
But the report sat on the shelf while Congress refused to approve funding.
President Obama has promised to spend $5 billion toward those clean-ups.
He has budgeted $475 million for next year, about a quarter of which would clean up the most toxic sites where the lake bottoms are filled with old mercury, PCBs, and wastes from heavy metals.
Those areas are as a little as one square mile, and as large as hundreds of miles.

Re Jeanine and Jakob's relationship - I agree. I am sure they are just friends even though they have been "married" on Facebook (to each other) for a while.Originally Posted by aname2;3751457;
However I disagree about him not talking. Jakob is wicked funny with a very dry sense of humor and comic timing. (As seen in his remark last week about dropping the cane: "I have no idea what you're talking about.")
He's also pretty smart, and not just a "dance-head". (In that sense he's very much like Jeanine, which may be one reason why they get along so well.)

A coalition of the largest trade groups in the debt collection industry submitted a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court recently urging the high court to consider a case on appeal involving the settlement of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) cases.
The case sets up a battle against what the groups say is a "cottage industry" of Plaintiff lawyers that have created a "tidal wave" of "low-damages, high attorneys' fees claims."
In an amicus brief prepared by by Andrew J. Pincus and Paul W. Hughes of Mayer Brown, LLP, three ARM industry groups – ACA International, DBA International, and the National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys (NARCA) – presented the formal question to the Supreme Court, "whether a settlement offer that provides a plaintiff with all the relief available, but not a formal judgment embodying the settlement, moots the underlying claim."
The groups want the Court to take up Convergent Outsourcing, Inc., f/k/a ER Solutions, Inc., V. Anthony W. Zinni, one of three cases that a Circuit Court recently revived after determining a settlement rejection by a consumer for full relief under the FDCPA did not moot the claims, making them easy for judges to dismiss.
All three cases were brought by consumers alleging violations of the FDCPA. In all three cases, the collection agency being sued offered settlements of $1,001 (an amount exceeding by $1 the maximum statutory damages available for an individual plaintiff under the FDCPA) and reasonable attorneys fees and costs. Plaintiffs in each case rejected the settlement offers.
The defendant companies in each case filed motions to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1), arguing that because they had offered the plaintiffs everything they were entitled to under the FDCPA, the FDCPA claims were moot and should be dismissed with prejudice. Judges in the U.S. District Court for Southern Florida agreed and dismissed the cases.
A three-judge appeals circuit court panel disagreed with the lower court's rulings and reversed the decisions. The primary issue in the case on appeal was that the collection agencies did not offer judgment against themselves in their settlements. The Circuit Court said that the entry of judgment was an important consideration to the debtor/plaintiff, explaining that the offer was a mere promise to pay and that if the promise was broken, the debtor would be faced with filing a breach of contract suit in state court.
But the ACA, DBA, and NARCA noted in its petition that the decision conflicts with a ruling by the Seventh Circuit (Damasco v. Clear Wire Corp.) holding an offer of settlement providing a plaintiff full relief moots a claim.
The amicus brief also took direct aim at what it says is a cottage industry of Plaintiff lawyers that take advantage of certain provisions in consumer statutes, writing:
It is easy to see why plaintiffs' attorneys bring these statutory claims in large numbers. Although the FDCPA, FCRA, and TILA contain caps on the amount of damages a plaintiff may recover, there are no statutory limits on the attorney's fees that may be awarded to prevailing plaintiffs. In practice, the award of fees and costs often dwarfs the plaintiff's recovery. To take just a few examples:
In cases where the plaintiff received the FDCPA statutory maximum of $1,000, courts have issued fee and cost awards for far more—including for $63,610.60, $43,180, $24,693.80, $29,037.50, and $77,680.44.
In a Pennsylvania action, a plaintiff won a $500 FDCPA judgment, but his attorney obtained fees and costs of $14,753.02. Vandzura v. C&S Adjusters, Inc., 1997 WL 56927, at *4 (E.D. Pa. 1997).
In Connecticut, a $1,500 FDCPA settlement generated $24,316.19 in fees and costs. Goins v. JBC & Assocs., P.C., 2006 WL 540332, at *1 (D. Conn. 2006).
And in California, a $1,091 settlement was followed by a fee and cost award of $46,124.77. Langley v. Check Game Solutions, Inc., 2007 WL 2701345, at *8 (S.D. Cal. 2007).
The brief asks the Supreme Court to grant certiorari in the Zinni case and answer the question Whether a settlement offer that provides a plaintiff with all the relief available, but not a formal judgment embodying the settlement, moots the underlying claim.

Although there are none officially planned, the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II laid down what he sees as "conditions" for the Holy Father to make a future visit to Russia.
According to an Associated Press story, the Russian Patriarch stated that such a visit may only occur if the Vatican renounced its efforts to "expand Rome-affiliated churches in traditional Christian-Orthodox areas."
The criticism revolves around Eastern-rite Catholic churches which continue to grow in traditionally Orthodox areas.
Patriarch Alexy told the Associated Press that these churches, which have grown since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, "only deepen the divisions between Orthodox and Catholics."
Despite the tension, the Pope has been active in recent years trying to bridge the divide between the closely related faiths. He has made historic trips to many Orthodox lands throughout the 1990's and held joint worship with the leader of the Orthodox faith, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I.
Russia, however, home to the greatest number of Orthodox faithful in the world, has remained closed to the Holy Father.
The A.P. reported that the Orthodox Church is angered "by possible moves by the Vatican to give patriarchate status to Greek Catholics, an Eastern Rite church that has expanded into traditionally Orthodox eastern and southern Ukraine."
According to the A.P., Alexy called this part of "unfriendly activities toward the Russian Orthodox Church."
Nevertheless, in August, the Holy Father returned to Moscow the icon of Our Lady of Kazan, which he hopes will further reconciliation between the faiths.
Alexy has welcomed such acts as well as the return of the relics of two 4th century Orthodox saints in November by the Vatican as, "signs of readiness" to advance the reconciliation process.

Final Score: Newcastle United 1 Swansea City 2
SO the wait is finally over for a goal, but the wait for a win doesn't look like ending anytime soon.
Newcastle United had gone 363 minutes without scoring until Shola Ameobi put them in front against Swansea City, but Wilfried Bony's brace condemned Alan Pardew's side to a record fifth successive league defeat for the first time in the Premier League.
Loading article content
The striker – who was linked with a move to St James' Park before completing his move to the Swans – scored an injury-time penalty to earn his side a vital three points in their quest for safety.
On the other hand, the defeat now means Newcastle are looking over their shoulders in ninth place and a top-ten finish that once looked a dead cert is now hanging dangerously in the balance.
Stoke City lie two points behind the Magpies in tenth, while Crystal Palace's late season surge means they are now only three points off in 11th.
Not achieving their pre-season objective of a top-ten finish would be detrimental going into an uncertain summer, but even more so for a manager who has had to deal with calls for him to be sacked in recent weeks.
Indeed, supporters' patience with Pardew is wearing thin, but interestingly there was no real protest against the Magpies boss either during or after the game unlike at Stoke City a week ago.
Fans have grown tired of Pardew's excuses and inability to take responsibility for their abysmal run and his case hasn't been helped by Newcastle's form since he was banished from the dugout for head-butting Hull City's David Meyler.
Newcastle's form during which Pardew has served a three-match stadium ban and a four-game touchline ban reads won one, lost six, and his absence from the sidelines has clearly had an affect of their season.
"We're all sticking together," Dan Gosling said. "The manager knows he's got all the lads onside. We respect him as a manager and we respect all the coaches.
"The atmosphere around the training ground is actually okay, but come Saturday afternoon it's difficult. I think it will be a lot easier when he's back on the sidelines. "The bad run has coincided with him not being here and it's hard for him to get messages across. He has been a big miss. People don't realise that it does affect the team - you need your gaffer on the sidelines, barking orders out.
"That helps us. We'll be glad when he's back out there. We need him back down in the dugout and it will good to have him back at the Emirates."
Whether Pardew's presence would have made a difference when Chiek Tiote tripped Marvin Emnes in stoppage time remains to be seen, but while the midfielder's moment of clumsiness ultimately cost them, the Magpies had done relatively little to deserve a win.
Pardew opted to stick with playing three at the back, while further forward he started Papiss Cisse, Luuk de Jong and Ameobi. However, in the early stages, it looked as if the Tynesiders were struggling to cope with the system with the ball completely bypassing midfield in order to reach the strikers quicker.
As early as the tenth minute, the home crowd showed their frustration with Newcastle's inability to get the ball forward quickly creating a nervy atmosphere inside St James' Park.
They were forced into a reshuffle when Cisse limped off with a suspected fractured ankle in the 21st minute, but two minutes later, after reverting back to 4-4-2, Ameobi and de Jong combined to give Newcastle the lead.
The former rose above Ashley Williams to flick the ball on to de Jong, who returned the ball back to Ameobi inside the area where he turned to finish past Michel Vorm.
It was the striker's first goal since December 2012 against Queens Park Rangers, but another injury, this time to de Jong, forced the Magpies into another re-think just before half time.
Loic Remy returned after almost six weeks out, but whatever formation Pardew tries, he can't seem to get his side out of the rut they have been stuck in since the turn of the year.
Mike Williamson was at fault for Swansea's equaliser when he lost Bony to head in from Ben Davies' corner on the stroke of half time, but even with a spell of pressure in the second half, the Magpies couldn't find any cohesion or cutting edge to get back in front.
It looked as though a flat game would peter out a draw, but in stoppage time a run from former Middlesbrough striker Marvin Emnes forced Tiote into a clumsy foul inside the area with Bony confidently dispatching his spot-kick past Krul to give Swansea a last-gasp win.
"That's football for you," Gosling said. "Sometimes it goes for you and sometimes it doesn't. I think we were the better team. The run that we're on, the goal that we conceded last week and the manner that we lost, the two goals at the end of both halves is a killer.
"We've got eight days until our next game and we have to do a lot of hard work on the training ground. We've got a tough week to prepare for Arsenal.
"You try and create your own luck and I'm a big believer in that as well. We pushed but in the end they just caught us. It was our free kick and they broke - it's schoolboy stuff.
"We need lock in and get better than that and make sure we get men behind the ball. We watched clips of Swansea and knew they were good on the break. It's cost us dearly.
"The first half was very nervy and I think the fans were on edge as well. That creates a nervous atmosphere for the players.
"I think the fans noticed our efforts in the second half and they backed us all the way in the second half. We need them more than ever now.
"It's not easy when you can feel the tension. If you play backwards the fans will get on you, but sometimes you've got to keep the ball to go forwards. Sometimes going back is the only option and the best option as well. It was difficult in the first half, but we managed to calm down and we were the better team. We were unfortunate to lose the game."

Blaine Gabbert of the Jaguars is the latest quarterback sidelined by injury, leaving Sunday's game against the Houston Texans in the first quarter with a bruised right elbow.
Gabbert, who has struggled this season, was injured when he was hit Danieal Manning and fumbled on Jacksonville's first drive.
Chad Henne took over for the rest of the game, and the Jaguars were beaten in overtime 43-37. Gabbert's injury status was unknown Sunday night.
Last week, three quarterbacks were sidelined with concussions: Chicago's Jay Cutler, Philadelphia's Michael Vick and San Francisco's Alex Smith. A fourth, Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger, was sidelined with shoulder and rib injuries. Vick and Roethlisberger did not play Sunday.
Cutler will sit out the Bears' Monday night game against the 49ers, with Smith a game-time decision.
Eagles running back LeSean McCoy left Philadelphia's 31-6 loss to Washington in the fourth quarter with a concussion. McCoy was taken off the field on a cart after staying down following a 7-yard run with less than 2 minutes left. He ran for 45 yards on 15 carries and gained another 67 yards on six catches.
Kansas City wide receiver Dwayne Bowe left against Cincinnati with a neck injury and left tackle Branden Albert left with a back injury. Also Bengals cornerback Terence Newman was sidelined with a concussion.
Bowe was being covered on a deep pass down the sideline when he leaped up, bobbled the ball and then landed hard on the turf at Arrowhead Stadium. He was checked by several trainers on the bench, retreated to the locker room and then re-emerged without his helmet.
Albert was hurt early in the third quarter, though it was unclear exactly how he was hurt. He lay flat on the field for several minutes before slowly walking off the field.
Newman was diagnosed with a concussion in the third quarter.
Atlanta cornerback Asante Samuel injured his right shoulder in the first quarter in the Falcons' win over Arizona. He was hurt when making a hit on Larry Fitzgerald as the Cardinals' wide receiver was trying to make a catch. Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (right ankle) hobbled off in the fourth quarter.
Detroit offensive tackle Jeff Backus missed the second half of the game against Green Bay with a hamstring injury. The veteran was playing his 186th consecutive game, passing Hall of Fame cornerback Dick LeBeau for fourth place on the franchise's career list for games played.
-Denver: Running back Willis McGahee hurt his right knee early in the second quarter when he was tackled by San Diego defensive back Quentin Jammer, and did not return. He had 55 yards on seven carries, along with one catch for 18 yards.
-St. Louis: Rams backup LB Mario Haggan hurt his right elbow on the opening series against the Jets and did not return.
-New York Jets: Backup cornerback Aaron Berry (quadriceps) left in the third quarter, and DT Kenrick Ellis (left knee) did not return after getting hurt in the first quarter. Coach Rex Ryan did not know the severity of either injury.
-Cleveland: Wide receiver Josh Cooper didn't return after injuring a knee in the second quarter. Cornerback Buster Skine, who started in place of Joe Haden, sustained a concussion on a play that involved a hit to Dallas receiver.

Postitive trade continues at Keeneland September
KEENELAND's September Sale continued its positive trend when the start of Book 3 saw key rises in turnover, average and median.
With 296 horses sold for $25,791,000, the sale claimed a 25 per cent increase on last year, when 280 yearlings made $20,613,500.
The average price after Saturday night's trading was $87,132, up 18 per cent on the $73,620 posted in 2011, while the median of $70,000 was up 37 per cent on last year's $51,000.

FALLBROOK -- Authorities identified a Holtville man as the victim of Tuesday's fatal car wreck on Highway 76 east of Interstate 15, the medical examiner's office said.
Joe Garcia, 56, was a passenger in a westbound 1993 Nissan Altima at about 4:15 a.m., officials said.
At the I-15 intersection, an eastbound Scion XB turned left in front of the Altima and the vehicles collided, officials said. Garcia was taken to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, where he was pronounced dead in an operating room, they said.
