Pivotal is Now Offering Family Law!
Tuesday, June 2, 2015
We here at Pivotal are excited to welcome a new attorney and a whole new practice area. Brian Edwards is joining the firm and bringing his family law practice with him.
Hailing originally from southern Illinois, Brian holds a BA in clinical psychology with a minor in German Literature as well as an MA in clinical psychology. Having begun his career in clinical psychology, Brian worked as a court appointed counselor for the chronically mentally ill. This distinctly challenging and often unrewarding career is what led him to attend law school.
Ever since entering the legal field, Brian has focused his practice on family law where he can utilize both his legal and psychological training on a regular basis. Before joining Pivotal Law Group, Brian was a partner at a small general civil litigation firm in Seattle where he managed the majority of the firm's family law cases.
In all family law cases, Brian works WITH his clients to tailor litigation to their needs and goals. Whether the goal is obtaining a favorable parenting plan, a change in child support or a desirable division of marital assets, Brian has proven that he can achieve results for his clients. That is why they awarded him the 2014 Client's Choice Award from Avvo. Brian also has significant experience with non-parental custody and de facto parentage cases, which are foreign to many family law attorneys.
He has served as the Young Lawyer Division Liaison to the WSBA Family Law Section. Brian also acts as a Volunteer Family Law Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) to help protect low-income children in family law disputes.
When he is not in the courtroom, Brian is often playing co-rec soccer, volunteering with his wife at Seattle Humane Society, or occasionally utilizing his courtroom presence in community theater productions.

Prior to joining the firm, Ada worked at a law firm in Bellevue where she devoted her entire practice to litigation. She has a proven track record of being an effective and zealous advocate for her clients and we are very excited to have her join us at Pivotal.
Her practice now includes civil litigation, employment law, personal injury, civil rights, and business law. She is licensed in California and Washington. Some of her recent achievements include a six-figure settlement agreement with a Washington based company in an employment matter as well as finishing her first federal jury trial for a police misconduct case against the Seattle Police Department and its officers.
Ada is fluent in Cantonese and basic Mandarin. She is also actively involved in the community through several organizations, including the Vietnamese American Bar Association of Washington where she currently serves as the Co-President-Elect.

Update: Important Washington State Supreme Court Ruling
Monday, August 27, 2012
The Washington Supreme Court recently decided a case that may have a significant impact on nonjudicial foreclosures in Washington. The full opinion can be found here.
Lenders who work with MERS and conduct foreclosures in Washington should read this decision carefully; and borrowers who are facing foreclosure on loans "owned" by MERS should read this as well. It raises new complications and defenses for any foreclosure of a MERS loan.

Attorney Christopher Thayer Negotiates $90,000 Settlement
Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Pivotal lawyer Chris Thayer was recently able to successfully negotiate a substantial settlement on behalf of an injured bicyclist against a large construction contractor in Seattle. The contractor had cut a trench adjacent to the sidewalk and failed to post proper safety warnings or protective barriers. Mr. Thayer's client was thrown from his bicycle and seriously injured as a result of this unguarded trench. Mr. Thayer's client required shoulder surgery and missed several months from work. The contractor fought the case hard and denied liability, claiming that it was Mr. Thayer's client's fault. However, when the contractor's own safety expert acknowledged during his deposition that the contractor "could have done better", the insurance company for the contractor ultimately agreed to settle for $90,000.

Attorney Michael Warren Captures Rare Shot of Northern Lights
Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Check out the amazing photograph Pivotal Law Group's own Michael Warren captured while climbing Little Tahoma, a satellite peak of Mount Rainier.
Here's what Mike had to say about it: <p>"On July 12 there was a solar flare on the sun. On July 14 the flare hit the earth, allowing the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) to be seen well south of the Arctic. I happened to be leading a Seattle Mountaineers climb of Little Tahoma on July 14. We arose to prepare for our summit climb at 2:00 AM, at the height of the show! To the naked eye, one could see only white lights, but the 30 second exposure of my camera captured the colors of the Northern Lights! After the show, we summited Little Tahoma (11,138'), the third highest peak in Washington, in a 17-hour push from basecamp and back. For the photograph, I used a Nikon D200, with a Nikon 18-200 lens at 18mm, f/3.5, 30" exposure, ISO 800 (I used rocks as a makeshift tripod). The only post processing done was sharpening and noise reduction in PS CS5". </p>

Mark Shepherd Negotiates $4.0 Million Settlement from State DOC
Thursday, November 19, 2009
Pivotal Law Group is pleased to announce that attorney Mark Shepherd has negotiated a major settlement on behalf of a 26-year-old man who suffers permanent brain damage and physical impairments from a severe beating at the Washington Corrections Center (Shelton).
Ryan Alwine, 26, has received a $4.0 million settlement from the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) following a 2006 assault by cellmate Eddie Hopkins, an individual with a long history of mental illness, violence, and instability. Alwine sustained severe traumatic brain injury, multiple facial fractures, and multiple deep lacerations to his head and face as corrections officers looked on.
According to Shepherd, "When Hopkins was transferred to Shelton, DOC personnel either failed to obtain or ignored his history of mental illness and violence. They also did not act on an internal email distributed hours before the attack urging that Hopkins be evaluated as soon as possible to determine his mental status and fitness for housing in the general prison population."
"DOC failed to adopt or follow even simple procedures to identify and isolate a demonstrably violent inmate. The Department put people at great risk. Ignoring their own directive resulted in this tragic assault on a vulnerable person like Ryan Alwine," said Shepherd.
"This settlement gives Ryan some measure of hope, help, and a more promising future during his struggle to recover from a preventable tragedy."
The settlement is thought to be one of the largest of its kind in state history.
For more information, please contact Mark Shepherd at (206) 340-2008.

Reserve big man Jason Smith is quietly finding his groove with the Wizards. And the more fans get to know him, the more there is to like. Just take Tuesday night's win against the Bulls.
Smith finished with 7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, plus solid defense in 23 minutes off the bench. But he also had a blooper reel moment that made Shaqtin' A Fool.
Take a look at Smith's stumbling dive out of bounds while defending Bobby Portis:
Was Jason Smith safe or out on the slide? 🤔 #Shaqtin https://t.co/eFAb4kXV2g— Shaqtin' a Fool (@shaqtin) January 11, 2017
Funny in a clumsy kinda way, but not as funny as his explanation after the game.
Speaking to Rob Carlin, Brian Mitchell and Chris Miller on SportsTalk Live, Smith ran through what happened in shameless fashion. He fell kind of on purpose to rattle Portis? Maybe?
"So, I might have been a little gassed and I was like, you know what, I gotta get out there. But I was going to contest high, and my legs said no. And, uh, I just gave him like, you know the field goal kicker when you kinda dive past him?"
"Hey, it worked! It worked. He didn't shoot the ball and he didn't make it, so it worked," Smith said. But he admitted his coach might not have been so impressed.
"Coach Brooks might have just covered his head. 'Oh, what is he doing out there?' But it worked!"
You can watch his full interview in the video player above. And next time you're watching a Wizards game, make sure to pay attention to Smith. It's worth it.

I think there were two purposes at work when the 2A was written and the militia of the states were one and the individuals RKBA was the other. Heller clarified this and that is what Al meant when he said the miltia was no longer an issue with the individual right. I think you are trying to in a round about way come back to your views of the militia today which I thought we weren't going to rehash?
This has nothing to do with my views on the militia. None of the amendments in the Bill of Rights guarantees any rights to the states. Amendment Ten mentions the state in that certain powers are delegated to it, but the amendment does not guarantee them any rights. Amendments One through Eight, in fact, specifically guarantee rights to the people rather than the states. The only rights guaranteed to the states in the Bill of Rights are guaranteed by extension through the people as it would be impossible to strip a state of rights such as speech, press, etc. without stripping the people of that state of their rights. No guarantee of a collective right (afterall, a guarantee of right to a state is a collective right) is necessary since an individual right extends into the collective.

Anyway, I answered MP's question about the terrorist's threat. BTW the Nordykes lost.
I understand the difference, however since there is no precedent in law to guide us one way or the other, dicta is the best we've got. Considering the study that is typically necessary to become a judge, I take Judge Gould's interpretation more seriously than those of someone posting anonymously on the internet. With regards to cherry picking, I quote many of the same sources you do, however I typically quote more of their context so as to more fully illustrate their meaning. Also, I fail to see how quoting dicta from the case that is under discussion equates to cherry picking. I quoted this passage because it is representative of what Maestro Pistolero's question was about, a question which you answered in a very roundabout and unclear way.

and have contributed their share to the selfie craze. They could not resist taking a picture of themselves while partying together on a girls night out in Dallas this week.
According to PH, the actresses are long-time BFFs. They took the picture at a Chanel event in Dallas where they watched the fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld's film, The Return, sitting in a topless retro car together. Stewart has been recently announced as the new face of the campaign for Lagerfeld's Métiers d'Art Paris Dallas collection.
Check out the picture here:

What do you think? Is Stewart, famous for her tomboyish style, the right choice for Lagerfeld's campaign?

The UK's Cyber Essentials Scheme took a major step forward at the beginning of this year when the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) mandated that its suppliers need to have obtained a Cyber Essentials certificate…
Source: Cyber Essentials at UK MOD: the beginning of a critical mass?
The internet has bought to civilization both pleasure, but has simultaneously paved the way for misery. An unprecedented form of crime which is difficult to prepare and prevent from happening is cybercrime, and as hackers become more knowledgeable, it is essential the regular citizen is aware of its developments. The Times recently headlined an article on the significance of the 'Dark Web' in a major credit card scandal, where millions of customers details have been stolen. The Dark Web is an incredibly secret and arguably also dangerous realm, which involves online criminality.
The Times cited a scandal involving the retrieval of millions of credit card and personal details by unauthorised access. These are currently on sale on fraudulent websites, one of which is bestvalid.cc. But protecting customers does not lie in the removal of the website- these websites may easily be restaged under a different domain name, also untraceable to the original perpetrators. The most worrying aspect of this article is the claim to the "authenticity" of the appearance of the website. This suggests that consumers are all equally as vulnerable to being persuaded into entering their details.
Anonymity can mean the paths of cybercriminals are harder to track. There are hundreds of websites operating on servers which are rerouted to avoid pinpointing perpetrators. A real concern is, these crimes are often not isolated- they are usually part of a wider network of organised crime. Anonymity empowers the cybercriminal as it allows an offsetting of responsibility onto younger, groomed and ill-informed people. This, in conjunction with hackers and coding becoming more complex and sophisticated, means that pinpointing a leader in the crimes can become nearly impossible. Unlike other forms of crimes which are based on tangible evidence and trail, coding can prevent and pervert the cause of justice.
Cyberspace and security are issues which are part of an uncertain and expanding market. It is essential that both businesses, employees and customers are constantly educated as a part of the process to minimalizing cyber crime. To manage uncertainties, protocol which may be implemented are practice drills of how to manage an intrusion (ethical in house hackers). This can be beneficial to protecting the business image and data, (PGI 2015- cyber crime conference attended recently).
In conclusion the Dark Web is and should be an intrinsic part of business and personal agendas. As the reliance on online spaces increases, measures need to be taken to ensure these are made more secure than they currently are.

A series of events have been organised to take place between 08/02 – 11/02 at LSE, to raise awareness about unlawful privacy violations. The events essentially are to inform LSE students of their rights that are being impinged upon due to the way governments around the world are conducting themselves in accumulating personal data about individuals. Many intrusions are unfounded so are unlawful. We have a several speakers planned, including a workshop by Ed Johnson Williams Open Rights Group, Anthony Glees, a Politics Professor from The University of Buckingham, and director of its Center for Security and Intelligence studies. Alongside these events, a cupcake sale will accompany, to raise money for 'Don't Spy on Us'.
Attend our events on Facebook, I look forward to seeing you there!
Momentum is finally gathering toward the student run Amnesty Anti-Mass Surveillance campaign at LSE.
The concept is based on the Amnesty International campaign with the same intentions. The aim of the movement is to inform students and encourage discussion about the rights of governments to access personal digitalised information. We also aim to equip students on how to 'clean' their devices periodically, to prevent over tracking of information. We have several renown speakers lined up for the campaign week. These, I will inform you all about closer to the date.
Watch this space!
In order to use your credit card abroad, you'll need to contact your card provider. Sometimes, your card is declined if you do not inform them that you are planning to use it. This is a preventative measure to the credit card holder against unauthorised use or credit card detail fraud.
Forbes Marc Tobias highlights that many of the issues which come up when using your credit card abroad, can be avoided, or its negative consequences protected against, by taking advantage of a few services which can provide emergency support and assistance when you need it. Although the article is almost 2 years old, it is still relevant.
So I have decided to repost it.

Talk with a lactation consultant if you get a chance or network with your local La Leche League!
Baby needs to breastfeed 8-12 times a day, I try to let my little one cluster feed during the day and then we can go 3 hour stretches at night if he wants to (but I wake him after that).
I let him eat up to 15 minutes per side to make sure he gets the calorie-rich hind milk at the end, but he's usually much faster and pops off after 8-10 minutes before switching sides.
I pumped a bit on day 5 due to engorgement and now try to pump once in the morning to have milk on hand if needed. Generally if baby doesn't need to be supplemented you can wait to introduce the bottle until 4 weeks, but introduce it before 8 weeks so that it will be accepted later.
Again, talk with a LC or LLL if you want professional advice

Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy for lysosomal storage disorders
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) comprise a class of inherited diseases characterized by disruption of normal lysosomal function and accumulation of undegraded substrates. Despite sharing a similar pathogenic mechanism, the over 40 different described LSDs differ for disease-specific features. The main differences are represented by the pattern of visceral organ involvement and by the presence and severity of nervous system (NS) involvement. Hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HCT) is an effective treatment for some LSDs. Its efficacy relies on the migration of donor cells of the monocyte lineage into disease target organs, where they replace the resident enzyme-deficient population, thus becoming a local and steady source of the functional enzyme. In the case of LSDs with NS involvement, HCT efficacy has been limited and the patients eligible for such procedure are a minority. The main reason for HCT failure in LSD patients with overt neurological symptoms or in those with early onset or aggressive infantile forms is the likely slow pace of replacement of resident tissue macrophages/histiocytes and microglia populations by the transplanted hematopoietic cell progeny as compared with the rapid progression of the primary disease. Due to this lag period, which is expected to be in the range of 12–24 months before initial disease stabilization, the more severe the phenotype and the longer the interval from onset of first symptoms to allogeneic HCT, the poorer the outcome. Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-mediated gene therapy has long been considered an attractive option for the treatment of LSDs, and in particular for NS manifestations. Firstly, it may substantially reduce allogeneic HCT side effects since the autologous procedure is expected to be associated to a reduced transplant-related morbidity and mortality, and avoids the risks of GvHD. Besides safety, the main and critical advantage of the use of genetically corrected autologous HSC as respect to their allogeneic counterpart resides in the possible improvement of the therapeutic potential of HCT in refractory LSDs by means of gene transfer. Indeed, autologous HSCs can be genetically modified to constitutively express higher than normal levels of the therapeutic enzyme and become a quantitatively more effective source of enzyme than normal donors' cells, possibly also at the level of the affected CNS. Our preclinical and clinical research activity on Type I Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS I), Glodoid Leukodystrophy (GLD, also known as Krabbe disease) and in Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), respectively, is devoted to the proof of feasibility and therapeutic relevance of this approach using as gene transfer vehicles advanced generation lentiviral vectors (LVs). Moreover, we are exploring the therapeutic mechanisms underlying disease correction in order to establish novel dynamic principles of therapy uniquely afforded by gene therapy, such as the advantages of enzyme overexpression and the modalities of its biodistribution, while at the same time providing new insights into biological processes of tissue homeostasis, such as microglia turnover at baseline and upon myeloablative conditioning.

Buzz Ballad: 'Let's Not Talk About "Race"'
---apologies to Cole Porter, and "Let's Not Talk About Love"
My neighbors all spout the same drivel-idge
About how I'm enjoying "White Privilege"
I could talk about "race"---the topic's hot
But some other things shouldn't be forgot
So, let's talk of Solyndra, and "green energy"
How investors robbed the public and then got off scot-free
Or how the President could be such a dolt
To underwrite production of GM's Chevy Volt
Let's fly into some rages 'bout Obamacare's stages
And all the many thousands of its regulation pages
And think of how its ill effects will weigh on us for ages
But let's not talk about "race."
Let's talk about "Fast," "Furious" as well,
Holder walking automatic weapons to the cartels,
Let's speak of our last Secretary of State,
The death of the Ambassador she left to his fate.
Let's all of us get giddy-oh, 'bout what al-Qaeda did-eo---
Susan Rice flipped her lid-eo trying to blame a video
It's true we still have no clue to what they are keeping hid-eo
But let's not talk about "race."
Let's talk about jobs, and how they've declined---
How each month's glowing report one week later unwinds.
Let's talk of increased government giveaways
While we borrow from the Chinese at an increasing pace.
Why not discuss ascendancy of government dependency
And what the likely end will be continuing this tendency
Of over-regulation,
Unrestricted immigration,
"Comprehensive" legislation,
Executive usurpation,
Official dissimulation---
It makes one fear for the nation,
So let's not talk about---
If you drive a car, and fear new gas lines
Let's discuss the stonewalling of the Keystone pipeline.
Or, if you wonder why more folks don't protest
Let's discuss the biased policies of the IRS.
My friends, the time at last has come
To leave low-info voterdom
And so instead of dwelling in
A world defined by melanin
Let's talk of how there's hell to pay
With OFA and the NSA
Data-mining every which way
Or how we cannot guarantee
Any election's honesty without proper voter ID
Of topic's there's no dearth, you see
So let's not talk about "race."

Crespo decision due
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Hernan Crespo's future should be known in the next few days.Hernan Crespo's future should be known in the next few days, while Milan have warned Chelsea off Andrei Shevchenko.
Crespo is keen to remain at Milan and has even offered to take a pay cut in order to stay at San Siro after a successful loan spell.
Jose Mourinho is thought to want Crespo back at Stamford Bridge but his future will finally be decided in the next few days.
"Regarding Crespo, between today and tomorrow we will know where the Argentinian striker will play," said Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani.
"I want to thank Crespo for the great economic sacrifice that he has made in order to have the possibility of staying in Milan."
Mourinho is still thought to want a new striker, even more so should Crespo remain with the Rossoneri - and Shevchenko could be his target.
The Blues are also looking at Internazionale's Adriano, but Ukrainian marksman Shevchenko is also on Chelsea's list and they are thought to be ready to weigh in with a massive é¼70 million bid for Shevchenko, including Crespo as part of the deal.
Milan are not interested in selling their top striker, however, and Galliani added: "Andrei Shevchenko is not for sale," on Milan's website.
The two clubs could also do more business in the shape of Kakha Kaladze, but the move for the Georgian could now be in doubt after Asier del Horno arrived at Stamford Bridge.
"For the time being, Kaladze remains at Milan," said Galliani.
"We have not reached a financial agreement with Chelsea even though our relationship with the English club is still excellent.
"It's a commercial agreement and it's normal that each club looks at their own interests."

Of all of the appallingly evil things Ramsay Bolton has done, his treatment of Sansa Stark is the one that really made Game of Thrones fans mad. Theon's severed peen and Fat Walda's baby mean little compared to the rampant sexual and psychological abuse of a universally adored character — hasn't Sansa suffered enough?
This heinous treatment of the sensational Sansa did, however, make it all the more sweet when Ramsay met his well-deserved demise; being torn apart by his beloved horde of slavering dogs. Did you know, though, that this scene was originally intended to be much more satisfyingly grisly, but was cut because it was "too gruesome even by Thrones standards"?
Do you think that Ramsay Bolton's death should have been gorier?

The wizards behind the Game of Thrones digital effects, Image Engine, explained all about Ramsay's medium-gore death. Image Engine's VFX supervisor Mat Krentz explained:
"They shot the scene with multiple takes. They did a pass of the dog on green screen, then Ramsay on green screen, and then we also had a background plate, which we put together.Artists also created a CG jaw for Bolton, and animated it to reveal the flesh ripping between Ramsay's skin and gums. The effect was too gruesome even by 'Thrones' standards, so they pulled it back a bit, using a 2D composite instead."
Ramsay's death scene could have been worse? There is no limit to the amount of suffering that awful man can be subjected to. Many fans would probably watch an entire season that was just Ramsay having the skin painfully flayed from his body over 10 agonizing hours.
Although it's tantalizing to think of how much gorier Ramsay's death could have been, it's still amazing what Image Engine have done. They created Game of Thrones Season 6's 72 on-screen kills, and they did a damn fine job of it, as this cool behind-the-scenes video for the "Battle of the Bastards" attests.
Would you like to see more gore on Game of Thrones?

Last Titan Standing
Last Titan Standing is a round-based death match Game Mode in Titanfall. Each player starts inside of a Titan, and Minions will support both teams after dropping in via drop pod. The objective is to eliminate all of the enemy team's Titans before the end of the 4 minute round. There are no replacement Titans or respawning until the next round begins. The first team to win four rounds wins the match. After the third round, teams switch spawn sides on the map.
There is no Epilogue in Last Titan Standing.
EditTips and Tricks
There are no respawns in this match, so it's best to play the game safe. Do not run out in the open looking for a fight with all six of the enemy team's Titans!
Since everyone spawns inside of a Titan, it's best to use a Burn Card that boosts a Titan or gives you an Amped Anti-Titan Weapon.
Just because you Titan is destroyed doesn't mean you can't keep fighting. Try to eject before you are killed with your Titan. Just remember, once all Titans are destroyed on one team, the round will end. If you wish to kill an enemy Pilot before they eject from their Titan, use a melee attack on a Doomed Titan (striped health bar) to perform an execution attack.

When I first started doing freelance web development I was only accepting checks as payment. This worked out for about two years, but was always a pain point requiring clients to write and mail checks and then I had to physically go to a bank to deposit them. As my business picked up, I started looking for an easy way to accept payments online, and I considered a few options:
- Paying for an online invoicing service
- Building a simple payment system on my website using Authorize.net
- Using Paypal's "free" invoicing feature
At the time, I didn't see the benefit of paying for an invoicing service and I didn't have time to build a personal payment system. Another strike against building my own payment system through Authroize.net's gateway was their $99 initial fee and the money taking a few days to be deposited into my bank account.
This left me with invoicing through Paypal.
While this worked great for me, I was constantly receiving messages from clients who were having issues paying my invoices. A few sticking points that kept coming up included:
- It wasn't obvious to some clients that they didn't need to have a Paypal account to pay their invoices.
- Clients with Paypal accounts thought that they had to transfer money to Paypal before being able to pay me.
- Paypal has a limit to how much money a card can be charged for through their service before they require the card owner to create an account.
These pains led me to start looking for a different service, and while I was looking I decided that I wanted something that would allow me to consolidate a few of my other tasks into one billing tool.
Before I opened a FreshBooks account, I was tracking my time spent working on projects manually and adding my work notes to a word doc that I was saving as a PDF to send to clients as an invoice, then following that email with an invoice from Paypal. I had also, at one point, suffered a coffee-cup-to-the-laptop accident that left me without access to my unbilled hours for almost a month and unable to send out any invoices. So I determined that I needed a service that fit my needs:
- Online payments
- Online time tracking
- PDF invoicing
- Recurring invoicing
FreshBooks fit the bill on all of those and then some. It's allowed me to use their time tracking pop-out tool to accurately track time spent on each of my projects, and to set up recurring billing for ongoing services like web hosting. They handle the PDF creation, sending out payment reminders, and even help me to keep an eye on my actual time spent on a project vs. my estimates.
Speaking of estimates, they have a simple to use estimate tool that allows clients to "accept" their estimates right from my branded FreshBooks portal. This has cut several steps, and back-and-forth emails, when proposing on new projects.
Their service has allowed me to move my time tracking and billing fully to the cloud, which means that I could throw my laptop in a river and still be able to get paid. This fits right in with my goal of staying mobile and reducing my workflow's possible points of failure.

text: The St. Lawrence Seaway, which connects the Canadian-U.S. Great Lakes system to the Atlantic ocean, has reopened with the first ship of the 2000 season passing through this week, according to the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp. said. Although low water levels in the Great Lakes Basin have shippers worried they may have to lighten loads, those concerns will not likely affect Seaway commerce until late in the summer, if at all, corporation president Guy Veronneau said. The corporation reported that the 1999 navigation season was average. Overall cargo through the Montreal/Lake Ontario and Welland Canal sections reached 3.2 million tons less than in 1998.

, Jan Gunnar Hatlebakk1 and Trygve Hausken1
Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway
There is no convincing evidence that psychological factors affect the onset and/or progression of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but psychological factors such as stress can worsen the symptoms.
The cause of IBS is not completely understood, but several factors seem to be involved in its development: heritability, environment and social learning, diet, large-bowel bacteria, low-grade inflammation, and abnormal bowel endocrine cells.
We have postulated that IBS is caused by abnormalities in the gastrointestinal endocrine cells. These abnormalities are caused in turn by heritability, diet, composition of large-bowel bacteria, and low-grade inflammation.
In the absence of detectable somatic (i.e., physical) abnormalities in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it has been considered for a long time to be a psychological disorder caused by anxiety, depression, somatization (physical symptoms caused by psychological stress), or hypochondria. Although recent research has shown that there is no convincing evidence to support an effect of psychological factors on the onset and/or progression of IBS, stress can worsen the symptoms. Although the cause of IBS is not completely understood, several factors appear to be involved in its development, including heritability, environment and social learning, diet, composition of large-bowel bacteria, low-grade inflammation, and abnormal gastrointestinal endocrine cells.
About one-third of IBS patients have a family history of the disorder. Several studies have shown that IBS is common among the relatives of IBS patients. Studies on twins have shown that the chances of one twin having IBS if the other twin has IBS are greater if they are identical twins (i.e., formed from a single egg) than if they are fraternal twins (i.e., formed from two eggs). Moreover, genetic studies have provided evidence for a hereditary component in IBS.
Environment and Social Learning
There is some evidence that the illness behavior (i.e., the manner in which an individual monitor the structure and functions of his body, interpret symptoms, take an action, and make use of healthcare facilities) in a family contributes to the causes of IBS. Having a mother with IBS accounts for as much as genetic factors. Of course this raises the question as to whether IBS is caused (1) by the possession of half a set of genes from a mother with IBS or (2) by social learning.
Most patients with IBS find that certain foodstuffs trigger their symptoms, and often make a conscious decision to avoid these foodstuffs, which include milk and dairy products, wheat products, onion, garlic, peas, beans, hot spices, cabbage, smoked products, fried food, and caffeine. The effect of these foods on IBS symptoms is not due to an allergy or intolerance, but other factors as explained below.
Some foodstuffs are rich in short-chain carbohydrates, the so-called fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs; Table 3.1). These carbohydrates are poorly absorbed, and a significant portion enters the distal part of the small bowel and the large bowel. On entering the large bowel, they increase the osmotic pressure and become a substrate for bacterial fermentation, which results in gas production, distention of the abdomen, and abdominal discomfort or pain.
Table 3.1
The most common foodstuffs with a high content of fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs)
Oligosaccharides: fructans and galactans
Disaccharides: lactose
Monosaccharides: fructose

Pediatric General Surgery Program
The Pediatric General Surgery Program at The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital is one of only a few full-service surgical programs in the region devoted exclusively to children's care. Board-certified in both general surgery and pediatric surgery, our specially trained surgeons operate on children ranging from newborns through adolescents.
Common Procedures
All routine and relatively simple pediatric general surgery operations are performed in a congenial, same-day surgery setting. Parents are with their child most of the time, even in the recovery room. Some common procedures include:
- Appendicitis / appendectomy
- Central line / subcutaneous port
- Colostomy
- Fundoplication
- Gastrostomy tubes
- Ileostomy
- Imperforate anus
- Inguinal hernia
- Lymph node biopsy
- Malrotation
- Meconium ileus
- Pectus excavatum (Nuss procedure)
- Pectus carinatum
- Pilonidal sinus and cysts
- Pyloric stenosis
- Umbilical hernia
- Undescended testicles
Specialty Areas
Pediatric Surgical OncologyWe are part of a team consisting of pediatric oncologists, radiologists, radiotherapists, and social workers, who coordinate patient care for optimal results with careful attention to the emotional well-being of the children. The pediatric surgical oncology program provides surgery for a variety of childhood tumors.
Gastrointestinal SurgeryWe offer specialized surgical treatment for acquired or congenital gastrointestinal conditions in conjunction with pediatric gastroenterologists including evaluations such as upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Pediatric Trauma CenterAs part of the hospital's Level 1 Trauma Center team, we admit and treat all types of trauma patients in conjunction with the adult trauma service. We offer ambulance and helicopter service, as well as a fully-equipped pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
Vascular LesionsWe offer testing, consultation and treatment for children with cutaneous, visceral and extremity lesions of vascular or lymphatic origin.
RadiologyWe work with radiologists with specialty training in pediatrics to interpret imaging tests such as x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. We use the information the pediatric radiologists provide to help make a decision about your child's surgery.
Multidisciplinary Team Approach
Some children with complex problems may require the expertise of a variety of pediatric specialists beyond those in our Pediatric General Surgery Program. For situations that require a multidisciplinary approach, BMSCH offers a wealth of expertise in every pediatric field, including radiology, anesthesiology, endocrinology, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics, plastic surgery and urology.
Whenever necessary, specialists from across the spectrum of care will work together to meet the needs of our young patients.

Michael Vara attended John Marshall High School, Rochester, NY. He worked and owned his businesses in landscaping and renovations where he obtained great success before moving to Mansfield, PA in August 2007, to escape the violence in his Rochester, NY neighborhood.
After spending nearly a year in Mansfield, PA, Michael moved on to Columbia, SC. After spending a while there, to find himself, in February 2008, he made a big decision- to leave behind all his past, which defined him… until now.
Michael began doing radio in September of 2008 and created the LNM Radio Network, which has now grown quite popular and fruitful.
This creation led to Michael's very popular prime time radio show, Late Night in the Midlands. Michael had become frustrated with mainstream radio and TV and despised the dogma of disinformation fed to the public. Michael also wanted a radio program where he and many others could count on. Each night Michael reports news and discoveries, for five nights a week, three hours a night, exposing the truth and enhancing the minds of his listeners.
Michael is the author of Lessons from the Other Side. Michael has officially begun to write his second book. Although not titled yet, it is a story concept about life on Earth and our connection to Mars. It is scheduled for completion in 2017/2018.
Currently, Michael resides in Columbia, SC, with his family and is determined to wake up the world before it is too late.

"Lessons From The Other Side: Life After Death Is Very Real "
by Michael T. Vara
Published by Neely Worldwide Publishing
Released on 27th March 2017
Available in Paperback/Ebook
In this book, Michael T. Vara tells his true accounts of his experience of the paranormal realm. Michael vividly retells his own personal heartfelt encounters in having an Out of Body Experience, but also his close exposure to spirits from the other side and his short connection to the unknown dimensional universe through the psychedelic drug LSD. All separate, but many incidents that happened at different times during his life.
He ponders many questions that we all have regarding life and death, such as... How many close calls have you had? Have you ever wondered how or why you survived? Could you make a subconscious decision to stay or leave at that time? In addition, if you could stay, would you have another opportunity to leave because you have already left a key at those doors?
It is Michael's hope, in reading this book, that you will begin to understand that there is nothing to fear about death, except fear alone. It is his firm belief that his perspective can provide you a better understanding to some of your own experiences, with the other side, while opening your mind to endless possibilities of this mysterious world that we all have been invited to.

Jason Miller made up ground on steer wrestling world leader Luke Branquinho by winning the eighth round of the National Finals Rodeo in 3.9 seconds Thursday night.
Miller, from Lance Creek, Wyo., is second in the season race with $161,879. Branquinho, from Los Alamos, Calif., has made $171,538, but failed to earn a check Thursday with a 6.8-second run.
At the NFR, Branquinho leads with $83,798 and Miller is next with $78,173. But Branquinho lost the NFR aggregate standings lead to Miller during round eight. Miller, with a time of 32.4 for eight rounds, pulled ahead of second-place Greenfield, at 32.6 for eight rounds, and third-place Branquinho, at 33.6 for eight.
Miller is the lone competitor in the rodeo to earn a check in all eight rounds. Branquinho and barrel racer Sherry Cervi of Marana, Ariz., were the only competitors to earn a check in the first seven.
"When Luke went, I thought he was going to have a chance to win the round," Miller said, "and when Shawn (Greenfield of Lakeview, Ore.,) went, I thought he was going to have a chance to win the round. It's going to come down to go-rounds every single night.
"You draw a steer and you have to be as fast as you can every night," Miller said. "And whoever's the fastest goes to the pay window. If one of them two guys (Branquinho or Greenfield) beat me, well, I should have done better earlier. It's my fault, so hat's off to them."
In barrel racing, Lindsay Sears of Nanton, Alberta, who is second in the world standings with $175,980, tied for third in the round in 13.99. Sears moved into first place in the NFR aggregate standings with eight rides in a time of 111.76.
World standings leader Brittany Pozzi of Victoria, Texas, didn't place with a time of 18.49, but she stayed in first in the world standings with $182,052, while Sears remained second with $166,893. Pozzi fell to eighth in the aggregate standings.
In bull riding, J.W. Harris of Mullin, Texas, won the round with an 87.5 on Black Velvet and took over first place in the NFR aggregate standings with 353.5 points on four rides. In the world standings, Harris stayed in second, $19,946 behind leader Shane Proctor of Grand Coulee, Wash.
In bareback riding, standings leader Kaycee Feild of Payson, Utah, tied the event record of five round wins at one NFR, set by Bobby Mote of Culver, Ore., in 2009, when he tied for first place with an 83.5 on Walk Hard.
Mote, on Comanchero, and Clint Cannon of Waller, Texas, on Real Deal, tied for first with Feild. Will Lowe of Canyon, Texas, was fourth with an 82.5 on Assault.
Feild has earned $251,237 this season and leads second-place Lowe, who has won $179,172, by a sizable margin. Feild has won the most money, $110,577, of any competitor at the NFR.
Feild also leads in the NFR aggregate standings with eight rides for 690.5 points.
"(The world title) is in the back of my mind," Feild said. "I just have to stay focused on riding bucking horses to the best of my ability and getting the job done."
In team roping, header Brady Tryan of Huntley, Mont., and heeler Jake Long of Coffeyville, Kan., won round eight in 3.7.
Header Trevor Brazile of Decatur, Texas, and heeler Patrick Smith of Midland, Texas, who didn't place among the top six and didn't record a time in round eight, remained first in the NFR aggregate standings with a time of 34.1 on seven head.
Header Clay Tryan of Billings, Mont., stayed in first place in the world standings with $146,092 after failing to earn a check. But Tryan's heeler, Travis Graves of Jay, Okla., fell to second in the heeler standings behind Cory Petska of Marana, Ariz., who has earned $154,611.
Header Matt Sherwood of Pima, Ariz., and Petska finished third in 4.0.
In saddle bronc riding, Jacobs Crawley of College Station, Texas, won the round with an 83.5 on Sundance.
World standings leader Taos Muncy of Corona, N.M., who remained in the top spot with $197,414, is second in the aggregate standings with 637.5 points for eight rides. Jesse Wright of Milford, Utah, second in 82.5 on Flood Damage, leads with 681.5 points for eight rides.
In tie-down roping, Tuf Cooper of Decatur, Texas, remained in first place in the world standings with $168,965 by tying second in 7.3.
Scott Kormos of Teague, Texas, won in 7.2.
Cody Ohl of Hico, Texas, who didn't place among the top six, is the NFR aggregate leader with a time of 64.9 for eight rounds. He's trying to break Fred Whitfield's tie-down roping record of 84.0, set in 1997.

Atlas Stumbles: End of the Rainbow Grill/
With Windows on the World nothing but ashes, I read now that the Cipriani's Rainbow Grill restaurant, in Rockefeller Center, is closing on Jan. 12.
The Rainbow Room's bar, banquet space and the weekend dinner-dancing sessions will continue on the 65th floor.
These two places have iconic status for Ayn Rand believers. Are current events just too much for Atlas?

text: Hope to get some help here. sorry if this has already been covered, but I searched for this error and didn't find anything. OK. So, I rooted my EVO (after the latest updates) with Unrevoked3. No problems. Snappier response...all seemed well. Downloaded Titanium Backup and started to delete bloatware...yes, yes...I know I should have been more careful...AND I should have chosen "Backup" as I "Uninstalled"...but, i didn't. Deleted everything I figured would be OK to delete. All seemed fine after except that I now periodically get this force close message: "The process com.htc.bgp has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" From what I understand, this is likely because I uninstalled the Weather app and widgets. Seems that android has some dependency issues with a few of the stock programs. I think I've confirmed this because I get this message when I try to manually sync "Weather". Turning off weather sync doesn't help either...which leads me to believe it may also be something else that I've uninstalled that syncs...like News, Stocks, ??? My question is: Is it possible to download these stock apps somewhere and reinstall them (as I did not backup), and if so...where can I find them? Weather 3.0 Weather Agent Service 1.00 Weather Widget 1.00 News & Weather 1.2.02-RC2 or... Is my only option a factory reset/restore...and if so, how do I go about doing that? Thank you for your time and help. -Noob rooter.

Spurs honour Tim Duncan by retiring jersey
A 15-time NBA All-Star and five-time champion, Tim Duncan was honoured by the San Antonio Spurs.
The San Antonio Spurs wasted no time paying tribute to one of the most decorated players in team history after Sunday's 113-100 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Tim Duncan stepped away from basketball last season, but the Spurs retired his number 21 jersey in front of a host of thankful fans just months later.
Long-time team-mate Tony Parker paid tribute to his friend by saying a few words during the ceremony.
"To me, he's superstar plus plus. He's by himself," Parker said. "He's in his own place. He wanted to win. But off the court he cares."
Duncan was a 15-time All-Star and five-time NBA champion during an illustrious career in San Antonio.
He exemplified loyalty, craftsmanship and a quiet tenacity that made him one of the best and most prolific centres to ever step on an NBA court.

Yung Berg Facing Drug, Menacing Charges
Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:13:32
Yung Berg Videos
New York City police arrested Yung Berg on Saturday, charging the rapper with menacing in the 2nd degree and unlawful possession of marijuana. A limo driver called the officers, complaining about an argument with the 22-year-old and another passenger, Cornell Whitfield. According to the District Attorney's office, the latter is facing his own set of charges, including criminal possession of a weapon in the 2nd degree (a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol with nearly 10 rounds of ammo) and two counts of menacing in the 2nd degree.
Robert Kalina, Yung Berg's lawyer, said in a statement, "A number of media reports have been inaccurate (about the arrest). This unfortunate incident is now a legal matter being clarified and resolved by the authorities."
Ironically enough, Berg's new album, Look What You Made Me Do, dropped in stores today.

AVON LAKE — The crowd is filing out of the Avon Lake High School gym following Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's speech today even as Romney works the room, talking to a press of people near the bleachers.
Romney blasted President Barack Obama's policies even as he promised to reach across the political divide to work with Democrats, something he said he did while governor of Massachusetts.
"It is high time for us to put the interests of the American people above the interests of politics," Romney said.
Romney said he has faith he will win on Election Day, which is eight days away with the polls showing a tight race between Romney and Obama.
"My guess is that if Ohio votes me in as president I'll be the next president of the United States," Romney said near the end of his speech, earning thunderous applause.

Kolkata, Aug 5 (IANS) It is equally important to simultaneously deal with the emotional issues of families of cancer-afflicted patients to help them deal with the trauma and overcome grief, experts said here on Wednesday.
Discussing the integration of psycho-oncology — a discipline that deals with the emotional responses of patients, their families and staff at all stages of the disease –with mainstream treatment, experts are of the view that the mental health of the families needs to be given priority as well.
"Intense focus is on the patient and the requirements of spouses and other relatives are compromised. Cancer families need professional help to identify the problems and share their experience," surgical oncologist Gautam Mukhopadhyay told IANS.
This is because, spouses, in particular, are not able to open up and talk about their own feelings with the cancer patient due to the latter's ordeal.
Mukhopadhyay said counselling prevents the patients and their families from sinking into depression.
Another way by which the above objective could be attained is using performing arts as a form of therapy.
Amita Dutt, the director of the Rabindra Bharati University-affiliated Performing Art Therapy Centre, channels dance, drama and music as therapy for cancer patients and families to forget reality and improve the quality of life.
"There are two ways to do this: the person could watch and enjoy or they could participate. It helps them to forget depression, the reality and takes them to a different world. The family members and caregivers, too, can get involved in this therapy," Dutt said.
The experts recently participated in a discussion "Integrating Psycho-Oncology into Mainstream Cancer Care" organised by the Bengal Oncology Foundation.
The discussion also featured actors of the Bengali film "Anubrato Bhalo Acho?" which explores the experience of the partners of cancer survivors and is due for release on Friday.
