Fish remains to be very healthy protein source and people are encouraged to eat it at least twice a week for the healthy benefits that it has to offer. Oily fish especially comes with healthy brain and heart benefits thanks to the Omega 3 fats they contain. There is however fish that are not as healthy as some contain toxins and hence many people will be asking which fish types are healthiest to eat. Six of the best and most healthy fish to eat include:
1. Tuna; in this case it should be albacore tuna considering that many tuna are known to contain high levels of mercury which can be harmful to your health. Albacore tuna is usually small in size and therefore contains lower levels of the mercury making it very healthy. It has lower levels of contaminants considering that it is pole caught from the colder waters on the north.
2. Salmon; salmon that is wild caught in Alaska is also very healthy. This is because the water quality here is high as a result of the close monitoring of the Salmon fishery. The salmon have 1,210 mg of the important Omega3 fats for every 3 ounce and carry very few contaminants making them stand out from the other salmon fishery.
3. Sardines; packing 1,950 mg of omega3 fats for every 3 ounce of serving. According to the folks at the marine superstore – stainlessdirect.co.uk – the sardines wild caught in the Pacific are very healthy to eat. This type of fish also makes it to the list of foods which contain vitamin D naturally. Most fish that fall under herring family are commonly classified as sardines and are healthy for human consumption.
4. Rainbow trout; lake trout are known for their high levels of contaminants but farmed rainbow trout do not have the contaminants making them healthy to eat. This is because they are farmed in freshwater ponds and also raceways where they are well protected from all kinds of contaminants. They are fed healthy fishmeal diet that conserves resources.
5. Oysters; they are very healthy especially farmed ones which are now readily available in the market. They contain more that 300mg of the omega3 fats for every 3 ounce serving and also contain iron values that are recommended. They are not only very healthy to eat but also very helpful for the environment as they feed on algae and natural nutrients in the end improving the water quality. They also do work like natural reefs which attract and also provide other fish with food.
6. Coho Salmon; this should be the freshwater Coho salmon usually farmed in tank systems. It is considered the only healthy Coho salmon considering that even farmed salmons remain under the list of fish to avoid simply because the overcrowded farming exposes the fish to lots of parasites. When in the closed fresh water tanks or pens, they feed less and are never contaminated offering high levels of omega3 fats up to 1,025 mg for every 3 ounce.
In as much as it is important to eat fish, you want to make sure that the fish you are settling for is healthy and without any contaminants that could put your health at risk.

The hubs and I were talking last night while I was doing the warmup to one of the Insanity workouts. We got to talking about Boston and destination marathons. He innocently suggested that making Boston a destination marathon. I explained to him that you had to qualify for Boston and it wasn't a race that I could just signup for on the sly. He then said that if I ever qualified, then we would go to Boston so I could run the marathon and also see a state that both of us had never seen.
So now I have thoughts of trying to qualify for Boston. I'm not going to attempt it next year, since I'm doing my first marathon next year, with a friend who has suggested trying to beat 4 hours. I have a feeling I can, possibly, if I train smart and not become injured, beat 4 hours in the marathon. But I'm thinking of making 2014 the year I try to qualify for Boston so the hubs and I can go.
On another note, I'm coming back from a hip injury. I really don't know what exactly happened but I had a really bad pain shot through my leg on a 3 mile run about 3 weeks ago. I took the rest of that week off and started Insanity to help stretch out my hips. Ever since then I've kept an eye on my pain level in my hip and this week is the first week I've ran pain free. I'm also on week 3 of Insanity and I'm starting to see my abs come back in and my running is becoming stronger.
Also on April 28, I'll be running in my first 8 mile race. It at my local zoo, which is exciting because I've always wanted to go over there and run. My mom will be running it also. It's suppose to be a trail run but trails in my area are pretty easy to navigate so I won't be purchasing trail shoes for this run. I'm also planning on wearing my black running skirt and a cute colorful top that I have.
I hope everyone is doing well.

Boris Johnson 'in the lead' to take over from Theresa May as next Prime Minister, poll claims
A YouGov/Times survey of Conservative members, who select the party leader, seems to suggest members have no interest in letting May fulfil her pledge of fighting in the next election.
BORIS Johnson is in the lead to take over from Theresa May as Prime Minister, a poll suggests.
Tory Party members want the PM to leave her post after Britain has completed the process of Brexit and would have Mr Johnson step into her shoes.
A YouGov/Times survey of Conservative members, who select the party leader, seems to suggest members have no interest in letting Mrs May fulfil her pledge of fighting in the next election.
Mrs May told the BBC yesterday: "I'm in it for the long term and there's a job to be done and I will be fighting the next election."
The Times reports Mr Johnson moved ahead of his rivals by 23 per cent, as Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservatives and Jacob Rees-Mogg, right-wing backbencher, came next in the list of favourites.
Party members were interviewed between September 20 and 27, and five per cent showed no faith in the current PM as they wanted Mrs May to step down immediately.
Eight per cent want her to go next year, 38 per cent want her to leave after Brexit in 2019 and 13 per cent was her to step down just before the next election.
Two days ago we reported Downing Street officials were drawing up an emergency plan in case Mr Johnson flounces out of the Cabinet.
Number 10 has reportedly been contacting Tory MPs trying to stop them supporting Mr Johnson if he launches a leadership power grab.
But the Government's whips have apparently been reassured that the Foreign Secretary does not have enough allies on board to overthrow Mrs May.
Mr Johnson sparked speculation of a leadership bid when he published a 4,000-word article on his vision for Brexit just a week before the PM made a major speech in Florence.
And after the Foreign Secretary urged Mrs May to keep a short Brexit transition period to give British companies a trade boost, he risked reopening a bitter Cabinet feud over the sensitive issue on the eve of the Tories' annual conference.
His new intervention comes less than a week after the PM's top table finally agreed on a rough timescale of "around two years" for the transition.

But erasing our southern border is exactly what the Democrats, completely in bed with the ignorant fool Obama, are doing. Democrats deserve to be slaughtered at the ballot box this autumn.
From Breitbart,
On Tuesday a federal immigration board ruled that a married Guatemalan woman, fleeing a violent husband back home, could obtain political asylum.Since when did domestic violence become a political persecution?? Obama, by weakening rules, refusing to enforce existing immigration laws, has created our border anarchy. Asylum abuse just gets keeps getting worse. By opening the doors to women who can just claim that she has an abusive husband, she automatically gets to stay in the US. No one can prove or disprove these claims. It's just another step toward total anarchy and erasing our southern border! All of these people will get to stay in the US.
Get ready for a surge of Guatemalan women across our borders -- a surge designed to INTENTIONALLY overwhelm our border administrators. Already border patrols are overwhelmed due to caring for the surge of children and young adults due to Obama refusing to deport children. Is he insane? Is there no limit to the irresponsibility of Democrats?? Apparently not.
Regarding the widespread Asylum fraud, a note from the Washington Times,
According to the Judiciary Committee's numbers, 65 percent of unaccompanied children's asylum applications are approved by the initial asylum officer so far in 2014.There are no unusual circumstances in Central America that require mass asylum. There are no tyrannical dictators persecuting their peoples. All of these asylum requests are fraudulent. And for asylums officers to approve ANY of them is just another example of lax immigration law enforcement that is CAUSING the massive throngs at our border.
Now the Anarchists in the White House are hatching a plan to bring more people from Honduras due to "violence" there. From the New York Times,
The Obama administration is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the United States without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal.
If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds.There's been violence and rampant criminality in Honduras for ages -- nothing new here. We can't even take care of our own people and our own problems! Punish the Democrats in November!!

Isle Of Wight Festival : Newport Seaclose Park
Bowie cheers everyone up after the footie...
In 1970, 600,000 tripping hippies tore down the Isle Of Wight festival's perimeter fence so that they didn't have to pay to see [a]Jimi Hendrix[/a]'s penultimate gig. Then [a]Who[/a] ripped through a three-hour set in the early hours and trashed the stage. In comparison, 34 years later, we get [a]Stereophonics[/a] playing to a field of sunburned footie fans. No fair!
Still 22-20s bring us some bluesy rock direct from the juke joints and bayous of Lincolnshire. Despite playing tour-hardened versions of 'Shoot Your Gun', 'Why Don't You Do It For Me?' and the always-impressive 'Such A Fool', though, the trio are dwarfed by the big stage. This is something you can never say about [a]Super Furry Animals[/a]. Opening with singer Gruff Rhys dressed, as usual, in a red Power Rangers mask, they baptise the crowd with a gorgeous 'Hello Sunshine', while singalongs 'Golden Retriever' and '(Drawing) Rings Around The World', confirm their reputation as the perfect festival band.
Slightly older, slightly fatter, [a]Manic Street Preachers[/a] herald comeback number 4,761 with two new tracks – the driving, piano-led 'Empty Souls' and the slower, uplifting 'Solitude Sometimes Is'. Wary of a public lynching from the Richey diehards for unleashing another sub-standard shadow of the band's early glory, James Dean Bradfield announces self-deprecatingly, "If it sounds shit, it's because it's new." But they didn't sound that shit. Shitter than the stirring 'Faster', 'You Love Us' and far shitter than 'Yes', but not as shit as 'Ocean Spray', which was really shit.
Falsetto soaring, Greg Gilbert is the focal point of [a]Delays[/a]' dream-pop, his distinctive voice wavering between angelic choirboy and Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser on 'Nearer Than Heaven' and 'Hey Girl'. It's enough to make even the most hardened beer-swilling footie head reach for the Liberty Caps.
Despite Tim Burgess' ill-advised solo outing last year, [a]Charlatans[/a] are welcomed like returning heroes. 'The Only One I Know', 'Tellin' Stories' and 'Just Lookin" are greeted like alternative national anthems before Burgess drags [a]Libertines[/a] Carl Barât onstage. Could they be collaborating? Nope, he's just here to apologise for his band's non-appearance. Double no fair!
As the baying football fans mourning England's dismal defeat at the hands of the French threaten to revolt and storm hospitality, one man stands alone. Imagine walking out onto the pitch at Old Trafford and trying to sing and dance after Man United have lost ten-nil to Crewe. Now imagine you're[a]David Bowie[/a]. Zinedine who? It's 'Rebel Rebel' and 'All The Young Dudes'! What do you mean [a]Stereophonics[/a] played the other night? He's doing 'Ashes To Ashes'! Now it's 'Heroes'! Football, what football? Euro what? 'Ziggy Stardust'! Who lost? Who cares? It's BOWIE! Fucking DAVID BOWIE!

Weekly Health Tips
Rx FOR MIND AND MOOD
A recent small study confirmed that physical activity can greatly affect mood and counter depression. Researchers enlisted young adults, 18-35 years old, who exercised regularly 150 minutes a week before the study began. They then asked some to stop exercising for one week and to limit walking, while the control group continued their usual regimen. Participants were evaluated psychologically both before and after the study. Those who became sedentary for even just seven days experienced negative effects on their mood and level of depression. However, when they resumed their routine for a week, things went back to normal.

Digital Health and Care Task Force
- Details
- Published: Tuesday, 20 December 2016 11:33
- Written by Web Editor
Digital healthcare and healthy living is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. In the UK, digital technology has transformed consumer-led industries including food and manufacturing, however it has limited impact on the delivery of healthcare. Nye Bevan would recognise current patient experience in the NHS and, unless there is urgent and radical change in the delivery of healthcare in the UK, the NHS is in danger of collapsing under pressures of ageing, mental illness, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The UK's record of producing world-leading healthcare businesses may be fatally undermined, and the potential to create globally pioneering digital health companies impeded, unless the implementation challenges of digital technology and its adoption at scale within the NHS is tackled head on.
Evidence has suggested that the UK does not lack innovation in many areas of potently transformative medical technology; it lacks however the ability to adopt disseminate this technology at scale, and at the heart of this challenge is the mobilisation of the digitally aware and educated workforce. As part of its long-running programme of growing business-university collaboration, the National Centre for Universities and Business has launched a top level Task Force to review and make recommendations on the innovation and graduate skills necessary to strengthen the UK's position.
Co chairs
John JeansChairman, EM Imaging; Chairman, Digital Health and Care Institute; Adviser to the Prime Minister, Medical Technologies.
John is Chairman at EM Imaging and at UK Biocentre as well as being Non-Executive Director at ProMetic Pharma SMT Ltd. Prior to this, he was Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Executive of MRC. His career in the international healthcare industry spans a number of companies including Smith & Nephew, Bristol Myers, Johnson & Johnson and Amersham plc. Mr. Jeans' experience ranges from medical devices and pharmaceuticals to in vivo and in vitro diagnostics encompassing research, product development, manufacturing and commercialisation. He has served on various Government and clinical bodies, including the Co-Chairmanship of a Ministerial Committee on Medical Technologies.
Beverley BryantChief Operating Officer of SystemC & formerly NHS England
As Director of Digital Transformation at NHS Digital, Beverley was responsible for the strategic direction for technology, as well as driving the Paperless 2020 agenda. Previously, as Director of Digital Technology for NHS England, Beverley was responsible for delivering transformational NHS England commitments, including Local Digital Roadmaps and Digital Maturity, NHS E-referrals, Patient Online and Electronic Prescriptions, setting the national direction for technology and innovation across the NHS. Beverley has undertaken performance improvement and operational roles in big-five consulting companies, as well as leadership roles in the Department of Health. Graduating from Sheffield University with a degree in Japanese, Beverley has over 15 years' experience of leading IT-enabled change, business and systems analysis, and technical design authority.
You can read Beverley's blog 'Why Digital Games for Mental Health' here.
Professor Sir Leszek BorysiewiczChairman, Cancer Research UK; former Vice-Chancellor, University of Cambridge
Professor Borysiewicz is Chairman of Cancer Research UK and has been Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge since 2010, a position he will step down from in September 2017. He was Chief Executive of the UK's Medical Research Council from 2007, and from 2001 to 2007 was at Imperial College London, where he served as Principal of the Faculty of Medicine and later as Deputy Rector. Professor Borysiewicz was knighted in the 2001 New Year's Honours List for his contribution to medical education and research into developing vaccines, including work towards a vaccine to combat cervical cancer.
First Report: More than a game? Digital gaming therapies and mental health in young people
The Taskforce decided collectively to focus the initial report on mental health, particularly within young adults, to gain a better understanding into the growing epidemic, but to also establish an understanding on the innovation, skill and challenges associated with implementing new technologies. Through Roundtable meetings, workshops and design jams, the taskforce was able to make key recommendation for the improvement of digital skills and capacity building in the UK.

Professor David E Neal CBE, Senior Vice President, Global Research (Academic) Research Networks, Elsevier B.V: "Elsevier strongly supports the UK Industrial Strategy to develop and the research potential of academia in partnership with the commercial sector to benefit patients, researchers and the economy. Elsevier recognises the major impact that mental health has on people and on the UK economy; we were delighted to use our analytic capabilities to highlight the excellence of UK academia and industry in the area of those digital games which might help to alleviate some of this burden."
Alex Barclay, Head of Studio, Big Radical: "This was a remarkable project. It proves that new, multi-lateral methods deliver great insight and new, high quality health and wellbeing experiences quickly and in a less costly way than other approaches. However, there is still much work to be done. We need to unblock how new ideas are taken to market in a way that enables the delivery of health upsides to a range of users (young people, health care professionals, support organisations and other carers) at scale. This report underlines some of these challenges, as well as suggesting more opportunities for digital technology and games to play a positive role in the support of the delivery of desirable mental health outcomes."

Final report: The Human Factor: Driving Digital Solutions for 21st Century Health and Care
To recommend more effective implementation and commercial success in the UK, the National Centre for Universities and Business assembled a Task Force of more than 50 experts from business, universities, research councils, consultancies, public and commercial health and social care providers, policy makers and patient groups. This team explored ways in which universities, industry, public and private health and care providers, government, patients and users can successfully partner to deliver the changes necessary for 21st century healthcare. In this, our final report, we focus on the human factors in bringing about transformational change through digital technology.
Key recommendations:
- Establish a national Campaign for Digital Health and Care Skills.
- User-centred design must be at the heart of digital health and care.
- The skills challenge needs scaled-up solutions and rapid take-up.
- Create an environment where sharing data is as vital as protecting it.
- UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and National Institute for Health Research to work together on multi-disciplinary research programmes on digital health and care.
- We strongly recommend that UKRI and universities establish well-funded mechanisms for continued and integrated innovation in digital health and social care, and translation into business.
- Health and social care are marked by a lack of risk-taking – and risk-takers – in procurement.
- Government departments responsible for health and social care, should work with
- universities, NHS and Innovate UK to collaborate with interactive media and games trade associations, such as TIGA and Ukie, to establish a standing network of therapeutic specialists and commercial developers.
- Guided by good systems and user-design, the NHS and care system should review approaches to risk and create more room for agility.

I'm late again with this, although this time I do have a passable excuse, since I've been doing battle with a rotten cold this week.
There was a great, thought-provoking Letter of Opinion last week by Janet over at Dear Author, on how things have shifted from standalone books to the series, and what sort of ripple effect this might have for both writers and readers. If you haven't read the piece yet, pour a cup of tea or coffee and go read it now. I'll wait.
You're back? Good. I found that post really intriguing, along with the questions it raised about whether the standalone novel was falling from favour, and whether we've all been conditioned, when ending one story, to look for the sequel.
I suppose it could be argued that this isn't such a modern development, really. After all, Anthony Trollope was writing his Palliser novels and Barchester Chronicles back in the mid-19th century, and Winston Graham spent over half a century writing about his Poldarks. And of course, being Canadian, I was raised on the series of Anne of Green Gables books. So it's hardly a new thing for writers and readers to want to revisit familiar, loved characters.

And when a reader wrote to ask me whether Robbie from The Shadowy Horses would ever get his own book, it did get me thinking how perfectly suited he'd be for the role of The Firebird's modern-day hero. But generally, when I have finished a book, then the characters' business is finished, as well, and I'm done with both them and the story (or they're done with me—I can never quite figure out which).
If The Firebird continues the story of several of the historical characters from my book The Winter Sea, that's only because those particular characters still had one stray bit of business outstanding that wanted to be finished properly, and now that I've taken care of that for them, they've pretty much settled down into their lives (though there are one or two, still, who might not be totally satisfied, and seem a little bit restless).
But I can't help but wonder, after reading that post, if our reading (and writing) habits are actually shifting. So, what do you think? Are we losing our ability to simply let a story end? To close the final page and give a happy sigh and let the characters go, without demanding to be told what happens next? And if we are, is it a failing of imagination, or some natural desire that readers felt at least as long ago as Trollope and his novels about Barchester?
And while you're pondering all of that, be sure to come back Thursday, to read Julie's post.

The photo packages I offer include simple retouching on a select number of images. If you would like more images retouched or have images of your own that you want to have printed and need them cleaned up, then retouching is the way to go.
Retouched images are Photoshopped, ready to print or post on-line with a fine tuned contrast, color, and softened blemishes. The retouching is subtle but makes a big difference. Most simple retouches can be done in about a half hour while fixing more extensive issues will take quite a bit longer.

A couple of weeks ago, I said that I thought the plaintiffs' attorneys in the recently settled class action litigation against the Veterans Administration over the theft of a lap top computer would "make millions." Yesterday, The Washington Post reported that the "millions" assumption was indeed correct.
Under the $20 million deal, lawyers for the veterans will receive up to $5.5 million for fees and costs, while roughly $1.4 million will be spent to notify millions of veterans and provide information about the settlement via advertisements in newspapers, magazines and a toll-free hot line.
As you'll recall, each veteran who can prove that he or she has "incurred out of pocket expenses for credit monitoring or physical symptoms of emotional distress," will receive between $75 and $1500. I've asked it before and I'll ask it again: Is this a great country, or what?
In yet one more sign that this nation of the lawyers, by the lawyers, and for the lawyers shall not perish from the earth (as long as one lawyer and one solvent defendant remain), The Memphis Business Journal recently ran a piece detailing that though the TARP program may be a bust in terms of goosing the economy, it's been a godsend for the formation of "special practice groups" by law firms.
Securities Docket, an online trade journal for the securities industry, has tracked the proliferation of financial crisis practice groups and task forces since the fall. To date, the self-regulated list has grown to 32 national law firms. No Memphis law firms are represented.
Dude! If you're walkin' in Memphis, walkin' with your feet ten feet off of Beale, if you're walkin' in Memphis, and you don't know if you really feel the way you feel, then it's probably because you haven't created a financial crisis practice group. Get you one of those bad boys and you'll know how you really feel. You'll be feelin' like singing Hallelujah!
We've been a big fan of special practice groups, linked first to subprime and now to the bailout, for some time now. Every law firm should have one. In fact, when private capital finally heeds Treasury's siren call and comes pouring in to buy up "distressed assets," we look forward to the first "Bottom Feeders Feeding Frenzy Practice Group" bursting forth from a giant law firm like Athena from the head of Zeus.

*This opinion piece is based on the beta stress test pass
When we think of Elder Scrolls series, We think of large world full of tales to be told. The adventure that lay ahead as we regain our freedom. Elder Scrolls Online took the approach of the original Elder Scrolls Series and pampered it into a MMO game.
Like every Elder Scrolls, After you finished your character creation you start as a prisoner in a jail of another rift, hence start the tutorial, unlike any Elder Scrolls, you actually spawn next to other real human controlled character. The tutorial here is, like any other Elder Scrolls, basic short and do not waste your time, so that's good.
After I finished the tutorial I spawn in mid air like 5 km above the ground and falling uncontrollably to the ground and with no parachute whatsoever I have to watch as my silly character scream as she fall through a deep descend and when my character hit the ground the screaming stopped and there is a respawn at nearly checkpoint message, just to ridicule me of my helplessness of not learning any special levitation spell in the tutorial.
Just like that, The game open up to much more opportunity to doing side quest the starting town have like three or four side quest which will lead to another chained side quest. It starts to feel more like Elder Scrolls title. Until you see shitload of player running in the same direction doing the same quest in the same spot producing bug that the NPC won't talk to you, so you can't pass the objective. The mob also spawn too slow not being able to put up a fight with 10+ noob ganking the same monster at the same time. Basically, you can just run with the noob train and get the quest objective done without putting in much effort.
You buggy little bitch NPC.
In question of how's the feel of character movement and animation is that same dated feel as a vanilla Skyrim. It was not so bad, but not so good either. The gameplay is faster than Skyrim, but not really require such accuracy and lightning reflex either. One of the thing you will find yourself doing regularly while playing this game is switch to other screen and do other stuff in the background, because of the long load time, I'm not kidding. It was like 5 minutes long in a large map change and 1 minute for entering an inn or a bar.
Elder Scrolls Online seems like not such a welcoming place to stay.
After spend 6 hours into the game constantly asking myself if this thing worth the price tag. I am 100% sure that It was not worth it. The thing is Elder Scrolls Online try to make the player immerse in the world and the lore surrounding it, but due to many design fault and gameplay that require ridiculously little cooperation begs the question that does this game even need to be a subscription based MMO at all and why all the microtransaction running rampant throughout the design combine with a very dated MMO gameplay which other MMO can and do better, Elder Scroll Online seems like not such a welcoming place to stay.

Getting MSAccess Capabilities on Linux
Novell Cool Solutions: Tip
Digg This -
Slashdot This
Posted: 24 Jun 2004
We've had several people inquire about MSAccess equivalents available on Linux. You can do mostly the same with OpenOffice as you can with MS Access. Table design, query design, relation design, forms and reports. The big difference is that OpenOffice doesn't ship any database (only dbase) with it.
You need to choose your own database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MYDB, Adabas D, Oracle, etc. or even the MS Access file).
Anyone out there have any recommendations for a good database to use with OpenOffice? Let us know.

- Carl Parrish
- Alois Popp

Chris Hopp
Information on access to databases through OpenOffice may be found on the OpenOffice web site.
"Currently, there are implementations enabling access to JDBC, ODBC 3.0, ADO providers, MySQL, dBase and CSV files, and Adabas D. However, the component technology behind SDBC, SDBCX, and SDB is flexible enough to be extended with new drivers easily."
MySQL would seem to be the optimal free/Open Source option. PostgreSQL and MDB drivers are at alpha levels of development, so only individuals interested in doing testing for OpenOffice should use them. These are definitely not options for production.
On the Linux plaform there are other options beyond OpenOffice. PostgreSQL users might be better to consider pgAccess.
In addition, The Kompany, which produces applications for KDE, GPLed its Rekall product last fall.
In addition, two of the major desktop environments offer graphical database tools:
Finally, try checking out Google Directory (based on the Open Directory project) under the KDE and Gnome listings for additional options.
Danny J. Wall
I suggest MySQL, for its power, flexibility, and it ability to run on several platforms (included with Netware). phpMyAdmin is a suitable front end for admins, but for users, Rekall is a good choice.
If your users will be creating their own reports, and don't know SQL, you will have problems. Also, if your users use the QBE tools, I do not know of an equivalent. MySQL is very powerful for scripting and more suited to the web than Access, but ease of use for a basic user is not as good. phpMyAdmin will even show you the PHP code needed to embed queries in web pages.
Kevin Chin
What about Rekall? I've not used it personally, but I've been told it might be something to investigate...
David Balcar
I would use StarOffice 7.0 which comes with Adabas.
Carl Parrish
To work just like MSAccess I like SQLite (actually this is a bit faster than MSAccess). The problem with this is you can't really use multiple users with SQLite. So I often use MySQL instead. I've often wondered why the openoffice group doesn't simply include SQLite in with OpenOffice (though I should still be able to change to my db of choice).
Alois Popp
MySQL is really a very good database for Novell, Linux and also Windows as server and/or client!
At this location, we have had the MySQL Database (4.0.12) installed, running on a Novell SBS 6 Server with SP3/4 for 14 months.
Workstations are:
- Win2K with ODBC Connector for different applications or OpenOffice 1.1.1 and the MySQL Connector/J (V3.0.7), since 14 months.
- SUSE Linux 9.0 with OpenOffice 1.1.1 and the MySQL Connector/J (3.0.14) since today.
No problem at all. Take it at www.mysql.org.
Andy Potter
Kexi is designed for this purpose. And it's looking very promising indeed.
Roger Foss
Actually, Novell's own SUSE Linux Pro 9.1 ships with Rekall, which is similar to MS Access. I'm not sure whether or how much it integrates with OpenOffice, but it looks very nice.
Jari Jakonen
Take a look at the Database Access Project
Marco Menardi
I use Firebird . It's multi-platform (like OpenOffice), small footprint, no administration, very powerful and stable. The license is essentially the Mozilla Public License v.1.1. It can be interfaced with OOo using JDBC or ODBC, AFARK.

Travel Guide
It's the city of stunning beaches that stretch for miles and some of the coolest restaurants, bars and locals in the country. The San Diego boardwalk is the place to be once you land in the city and get settled in. The boardwalk is full of beautiful people roller-blading, biking chatting, or just taking in the sun and is lined by restaurants and shops that carry everything you could need for your sun-worship.
San Diego residents are very active as they should be to keep those buff bodies in shape for the boardwalk. There are numerous activities to take part in from a game of volleyball in the sand to water-skiing, surfing, snorkeling and for the adventurous a little cliff-diving right into the beautiful Pacific Ocean. There are also many classes available for visitors that haven't done of these things before.
The city also has many things to do inland including dining at fabulous restaurants that bring the flavor of the world to this oceanside city. You can find great Latin food in the city in addition to Italian and Indian. The Gaslamp Quarter is the place to be if you are looking for chic galleries, great shopping and dining. In addition, the area is also known for its intimate live music clubs.
The city has some of the most beautifully designed homes in the country, of course that being necessary to fit into such a gorgeous landscape. Head to the La Jolla area for house-spotting followed a lovely meal by the water.
San Diego is home to beautiful weather all year. The summer months are hot but not stifling and hit the low 30s. The winter months beginning in December see cooler temperatures with numbers dropping to the high teens.
Peak season
It is always peak season in San Diego since the weather is always welcoming. Of course the summer months and December are the most popular for Western tourists since that is when many people are able to take time away from work and also when schools are on break.
Off season
Although temperatures are still very warm in February and March, this isn't a very busy time for tourism in the city which means you will find the best prices on flight tickets during this period.
If you fly direct into San Diego you will land at the San Diego Airport. From the airport you can grab the Amtrak Intercity train and Coaster commuter train as a quick option to get into the city. In addition, you can also take the metro bus which stops just outside the Commuter terminal and terminals 1 and 2.
The San Diego trolley doesn't make it all the way to the airport, however you can take the metro bus and connect with the trolley at America Plaza Station. Metered taxi's are available outside of the terminal as well.
If you are staying in the city center the trolley is a great option for getting around as is the public bus service. However if you are planning on travelling further distances perhaps to the outskirts of the city, a rental car is the best way to go. You can take a taxi but it will be quite pricey.

My daughter loves everything Parisian, including the classic movie "An American in Paris" and her new JeanBourget dress! Casually upscale, the dress fits with the latest kids' fashion trends. If you love everything to do with Paris, France, including the elegance of Parisian children's style, this dress is the perfect fit. I was excited to review a JeanBourget dress from the Little Parisians online shop, because they sell clothing that fits with the latest children's fashion trends. Launched in France in 1993, children's clothing line JeanBourget is known for a classic elegance. While examining the dress, I realized how much I loved the style and design.
Paris Kids' Style
As I perused Little Parisians online shop, I was impressed with the quality of clothes available. Clothing brands sold included Catimini, Kenzo Kids, JeanBourget, IKKS, Petit Bateau, Le Petit Prince, Une Fille En, Chine, Home Stickers, Villa Carton, and TaiTai Folies. Headquartered in Hong Kong, the online shop offers free shipping internationally. Expats can enjoy perusing the clothing offered at the showroom located at the World Trust Tower in Central Hong Kong.
Receiving my daughter's free dress was a huge perk for writing the review. I loved the classic design with layered material, which created a chic elegant style. Samantha will wear the long sleeve dress for fall and winter. When the weather gets cooler, I can purchase matching grey leggings from the online shop. As I took a snapshot photo, I styled my daughter in the Layers Design Dark Grey JeanBourget dress along with PONS children's Frailera Style French Blue shoes. As a fashion-savvy mom, I loved the look created with the chic dress and casual sandals. I can use the outfit to bring my daughter to church and to weddings. As a practical item of clothing, the dress is fancy enough for a French-inspired fashion show, and casual enough for a backyard wedding.
I received a free item, but it in no way influenced my opinion.

Letter from Mrs. Wilson, to Donald McLean, dated 12th. August 1853.
COPY. New Plymouth.
12th. (August) 1853
My dear Son,
We were in hopes of seeing you by this time in your old seat in the chimney corner of this cosy little kitchen. How I long to have a chat with you. There is so much to tell you; and so many questions to ask you. What an anxious time we have had with our disgraceful elections; and how sadly they have ended. What a blot upon the moral and religious character of New Plymouth. Charles Brown Watt and Tom King three of the head men, to say nothing of Gledhill, and many others of the same stamp; and such men to have it in their power to annoy us all. When you arrive you will see and hear plenty of this work. Charles Brown has engaged Turner (the would-be lawyer) to guide him in letter-writing! He has already shown that he cannot pen one by himself. Don Pedro, in all his life, has never had such a bitter pill to swallow as that of being obliged to call upon such a man as Charles Brown! You will own that it is a hard case for him, who has been in his country's service (with the exception of the year we were at Wanganui) ever since the age of eighteen; and now, in his old age, he has to bow to such a party; and if they chance to get the same power as we see is invested in the hands of the Superintendent for Wellington, they are sure to vex and annoy every one in office, so as to oblige them to throw up their situations. They openly declare they will do so; and have already begun their intended game, on Mr. Flight, as you will see and hear on your arrival. The truth is, they are such a dirty set, that they have all sorts of vile hole and corner tricks at work, that honest, upright men can know nothing about. Not that an honest man need fear them; except, as I said before, that they will worry him out of office. James Ritchie they are determined to get rid of; for what reason we cannot find out; except that he got the appointment through the kindness of Sir George Grey; and that he is a man of high abilities, and above doing any of their dirty work. It is very unfortunate, and a very hard case that he is not allowed to practice as a Solicitor, has received the perfect character that he possesses; yet it appears that such is the Law (a very unjust one), because he did not call himself "writer to the signet", he can not act in New Zealand. Yet there is one of the young Standish's, who has got no other education but what a New Plymouth Day School could give him, has only to serve five years in his father's office; at the end of which time he is eligible to practise in the Law in all its branches; not one of which is he likely to know much about; while Ritchie, with all his knowledge, dares not open his mouth. Mr. Martin must have some great spite against Scotchmen; or he never would have made this law. Between us, I must tell you that Ritchie's father has powerful friends at Home; and I should not be astonished to find some of them set Mr. Martin right on this point of Law.
On your arrival at Wanganui, you will get several letters from Don Pedro, and your old Mother; who is crazy to see her big son; and I only wish I could see my dear little grandson. Your account of the dear little fellow made me glad for your sake, and that of the poor old grand-father. You will tell me all about the dear boy when we get over the fire at our old chatting time. Your room is all ready for you. Wm. Halse is to place his house at our good Governor's disposal. It will be a nice central situation; much more convenient for him that "Brooklands"; besides which the poor old Captain and Mrs. King are getting too old for anything like such company. Of course you know by this time that Willie is engaged to Miss Mary Richardson; but it is said that the marriage will not be yet; as a house is to be built, and all the wedding "braws" are to come from England.
That disgraceful member of Society, Wicksteed, they say, is going to Wanganui shortly. We fancy that he will not start until he hears that Sir George Grey and yourself are on the road; so that he may have an opportunity of meeting His Excellency, and telling his own story in his own way. You know him too well; and I may be much mistaken if Sir George does not, equally so. The little animal actually now voasts that he played the dirty trick he did; for no other purpose than to vex Captain King, Mr. Wilson, and some others, who told him that they could not support him, on account of his drinking propensities. But you will hear enough about him when you get here. By the last two or three vessels, we have had a great addition to our population; but most unfortunately a large number of them are of the wrong sort, --- acknowledged "Free Thinkers" all related to the Hursthouses. These, of course, at once joined Charles Brown's party. Their grand place of meeting is at Sam King's. Much, very much, of all the late mischief, had been hatched under the guidance of Mrs. Sam. She is a dangerous woman, with her revolutionary opinions. Such a woman should never have been allowed to reside within the walls of Gibraltar.
I must now say God bless you; for you will be tired with this long list of your old mother's complaints. With our united kind regards; and the hopes of soon having the pleasure of seeing you, believe me as ever,---
Your sincerely attached,
(Signed) H.A. Wilson.
P.S. Sam Ritchie tells me that he intends writing you by this post. I know you will do what you can for him. He feels sure that the "Brown" party will get him out of his present situation. To:- Donald McLean.

Tuesday, September 30, 2008: In order to pass, the bailout bill should definitely include the people. The people like me who have lost our homes and our savings and are struggling to get started again. Wall Street needs to keep functioning, yes, but we need to live too. We have to be able to pay our bills. If there is no us, no people, there is no economy.

Paul NewmanSeptember 29, 2008
Monday, September 29, 2008: I was very sad to learn of the death of Paul Newman. He was one of the last movie legends from Hollywood's Golden Years. I think he was a true gentleman, a very good actor and very good looking.And he was a faithful husband. A human being to be truly missed.
Letter to NewspaperSeptember 24, 2008
I don't think that the government is addressing my issues. I don't believe that Barack Obama or John MacCain will do anything about the mortgage crisis. That crisis has affected me personally. I lost my condo in Atlanta, GA to mortgage fraud back in November 2005. I had relocated from Manhattan to GA and hooked up with a realtor who gave me bad advice. The experience has ruined my credit and caused me a great deal of stress. Just a few weeks ago I was living on the streets of Manhattan with my little cat.I could not sleep and there was no place for me to take a shower. If it hadn't been for a kind person, I'd still be out there on the sidewalks. I have been trying to start all over again, but it has been an uphill battle. My age is against me, since I am no longer 20 or 30. Not only did I lose my home, I also lost a lot of money, money that has been so far impossible to get back. I feel that whoever becomes President in November should do something so that we, the borrowers who were duped by loan officers, can get our hard earned savings back. It is important that the laws change to make the taxpayer not be held responsible for a foreclosure. I was stuck with a tax bill in the amount of $2,145.85 in 2005. The debt forgiven me by the lender of my condo was money I never saw or was able to use.

Vanity Press? Please!September 20, 2008
Saturday, September 20, 2008: Yesterday I had an appointment with a publicist in Manhattan. We talked about my novel, Different Flags, and frankly, I was a little humiliated when she thought that DF had been published by a vanity press. No, I told her as politely as possible, though I was raging inside. I don't go near vanity presses with a ten foot pole. The publicist and I didn't come to an agreement because she charges $1,500 a month as a retainer, plus $200 an hour for consultations. It was insulting that she would think such a thing when I gave her the place on the Internet where Different Flags is for sale. There are a couple of sites that have it for whoever wants to buy it.

Re: Starbucks Location at East 51st, between Park and Madison Avenue, Manhattan
Dear Starbucks,
I would like to tell you about the excellent service I have been receiving at your Starbucks location on East 51st. Street. Your employees are very friendly and caring. I am especially grateful to Eric, the manager, who was most kind to me and my little cat. I was homeless due to unfortunate circumstances in my life and the Starbucks location on 51st. Street became my oasis. Eric treated me like a human being and he as well as his staff showed me the best side of New Yorkers. In the afternoon, I would go to Starbucks, buy myself a little ham-filled muffin or a bagel and sit outside on the patio with my little cat inside her carrier. That was just about the only place I felt like a person.
Sometimes Eric offered milk for my cat and a cup of coffee for me. I really appreciate these gestures and have told him so. Now I am hopefully on my way to getting back on my feet. That is why I am taking the time to write and tell you about that particular Starbucks location. I will always be grateful to Eric and his employees and to Starbucks for hiring them.

Sleepless IRS NightSeptember 16, 2008
Tuesday, September 16, 2008: I could not close my eyes last night. Lauchita, my little cat, stayed next to me on the bed and comforted me without knowing why she was comforting me. The IRS letter. That's all I could think about. That is the main thing on my mind and will be until this is resolved. I don't like to do this, but I am asking for donations. This is a very stressful time in my life and I need to move on with my life.

- Obtained a dismissal of a large regional medical center pursuant to a Motion for Summary Judgment. Plaintiff claimed vicarious liability and corporate negligence against the medical center related to the prescription, oversight, and monitoring of blood thinning medication that allegedly resulted in the Plaintiff requiring an emergency craniotomy due to a brain hemorrhage. A Motion for Summary Judgment was filed on behalf of the medical center arguing that Plaintiff's proffered expert reports lacked the required expert opinions to establish professional negligence in a malpractice action in Pennsylvania on either Plaintiff's vicarious or corporate theories. This motion was opposed by Plaintiff. After oral argument, the Court ruled to grant summary judgment, dismissing Plaintiff's case against the medical center entirely.
- Obtained a dismissal of the firm's client, an outpatient radiology center, from a lawsuit involving a delayed diagnosis of cancer. The Complaint alleged that numerous Defendants were negligent in failing to identify and diagnose cancer in the Plaintiff. Claims against the radiology center included claims for ostensible agency and vicarious liability with regard to two (2) interpreting radiologists, as well as corporate liability and loss of consortium claims. The client was dismissed prior to the undertaking of extensive discovery—saving them from potential liability, as well as a significant investment of time, effort, and cost of litigation.
- Obtained the maximum arbitration monetary award available for the firm's hospital client involving a commercial dispute over the sale of hospital equipment to a third party vendor. The hospital contended that the Tulsa, Okla.-based defendant, which it was suing, was unjustly enriched and breached a commercial sales contract with the hospital over the sale of the equipment. The defendant contended through several witnesses at the hearing, including its CEO, that a mutual mistake between the parties voided the transaction and the contract. The three-person arbitration panel found in favor of the hospital in less than twenty minutes.
- Received a dismissal for a healthcare system client in a claim brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). The plaintiff, a former patient, filed amended complaints of conspiracy and later RICO against our client and four other defendants after not entering a settlement from an initial claim made several years prior. In June 2014, Judge Petrese B. Tucker, C.J. of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania dismissed all claims with prejudice, stating the plaintiff lacked standing, and her allegations of conspiracy were little more than an attempt to improperly re-litigate her medical malpractice claim.
- Obtained a dismissal with prejudice in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for a parent company of a co-defendant hospital facing alleged violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act. The plaintiff, who was a physician, entered into two successive on-call agreements with the hospital, where he was paid for the days he worked as the on-call physician. The first contract was terminated after it was learned that the plaintiff had a financial stake in a competing healthcare provider. The plaintiff later entered into a second on-call agreement when the hospital was under new management which permitted him to retain his financial stake in the competing provider. However, he subsequently violated a non-compete clause in that agreement which led to the termination of the contract. After meeting with his attorney, the plaintiff alleged that he realized that both on-call agreements were executed solely to coerce Medicare patient referrals violating the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act. Both defendants argued that the plaintiff's complaint failed to provide a claim in either agreements' termination provisions that violated the federal statutes.
- Secured a complete dismissal for a physician client on the eve of trial in a medical malpractice matter in Philadelphia County, where the plaintiff's demand was $12 million.
- Obtained a dismissal for a hospital client in a medical malpractice case in Philadelphia County. The hospital raised preliminary objections challenging several procedural deficiencies in the plaintiff's complaint, which were sustained in their entirety, resulting in the client's dismissal.
- Secured the dismissal of corporate liability claims in three medical malpractice matters against two hospital clients. In all three cases, the main argument was made through dispositive motion practice, centering on elements of the Pennsylvania's Supreme Court opinion in Thompson v. Nason Hospital that were not met.
Obtained a dismissal for a health system client in a professional liability/medical malpractice action. The plaintiffs, the parents of a little boy, alleged that their son suffered serious injuries over the course of delivery due to a hospital's negligence. The firm's health system client was included in the matter by virtue of a successor liability theory that was dismissed early in the litigation.
- Secured a dismissal with prejudice for a hospital client in a medical malpractice action where a party representing the deceased patient alleged the administration of various drugs and drug combinations causing prolongation of the QTc interval, QT prolongation in the EKG and sudden cardiac death. Burns White successfully entered a judgment of non pros for failure to file timely certificates of merit and later filed a motion to strike the plaintiff's certificate of merit and dismiss his complaint with prejudice on the basis that it was not certified by the appropriately licensed professional qualified to offer opinions critical of the hospital's agents and employees.
- Secured a complete dismissal of a claim for a New Jersey-based physician client in a medical malpractice matter involving eight other facilities and physicians. The defense strategy centered on the care and treatment provided exceeding the standard of care, discounting any alleged malpractice. In order to preserve our client's reputation, Burns White requested a dismissal which was later granted.
- Obtained dismissal with prejudice for a hospital client in a medical malpractice matter in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, involving thirteen other facilities and physicians. The court granted the dismissal based on an affidavit of non-involvement and subsequent motion illustrating that the hospital had no part in the negligent care and treatment that was alleged.
- Granted a hospital client a petition for equitable relief in the form of a permanent injunction in Lackawanna County, banning a problem patient for life. The client initiated the action after encountering continuous problems from a frequent patient, who was both verbally abusive and threatening to hospital staff.
- Received a summary judgment for a nonprofit client that provides residential, therapeutic, educational, vocational and social programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities on the basis that the plaintiff failed to sustain their burden of proof of gross negligence, a required threshold in cases against facilities like our client covered by the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Act and the Mental Health Protections Act. Burns White further asserted that the plaintiff failed to produce expert reports to support their theories of negligence and causation. The matter is currently being appealed by the plaintiff.
- Obtained a dismissal for a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility client. Through aggressive investigation and discovery motions, it was determined and confirmed that the plaintiff had died before the filing of the lawsuit. Burns White secured an order on the motion for sanctions precluding the plaintiff from offering certain evidence in support of the case. Burns White also established that there was no proper party to the suit, as the plaintiff was deceased and her counsel did not seek to timely find a substitute for her estate.
- Successfully defeated a plaintiff's motion for injunctive relief in federal court for a foster placement agency facing allegations of professional negligence in a child placement matter where several children were improperly removed from the home.
- Successfully defended a private foster child placement service and several of its named employees in a claim brought by foster parents contesting the county agency's decision to place the foster children with different foster parents. The complaint, filed in federal court, raised constitutional and pendent state claims against the county agency and the Burns White client. After filing comprehensive motions for summary judgment raising the plaintiffs' lack of standing, the federal abstention doctrine and qualified immunity, among other defenses, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their complaint against all parties before oral argument on the motions.
- Secured a summary judgment in the U.S District Court for the Eastern District of Pa. for a foster care service that was sued along with a government agency, regarding the removal and termination of parental rights of the plaintiff-father. While several of the plaintiff's claims were dismissed prior to summary judgment, a federal claim regarding the abuse or violation of due process and a state claim regarding the intentional infliction of emotional distress remained. Burns White argued that not only was our client not involved in any alleged violation of due process, but that the plaintiff had received due process throughout the underlying litigation. The court granted summary judgment, ruling in favor of the defendants on all of the plaintiff's remaining claims.
- Obtained a dismissal for a licensed social worker against civil allegations that she engaged in fraudulent business activities and unethical conduct. The client denied all allegations brought by the business partnership and her former employer, and was not charged criminally. The court found in favor of the defense, ordering that all defense fees and costs be submitted to binding arbitration for potential reimbursement.
- Successfully resolved a defamation case for a high-level corporate executive, estopping several national and international companies from defaming his reputation. The alleged defamation was internet-based and implicated the Communications Decency Act of 1996 and the Stored Communications Act. In addition, the actions of the offending companies were also threatening to interfere with present and prospective contractual relations of the executive client and his company. The matter was resolved outside of court, saving the client a significant amount of time and money from what would have been a very long, complex and costly Federal trial, while still achieving all of his goals.
- Received a defense verdict in Montgomery County on behalf of a professional liability corporation in a matter where the plaintiff alleged defamation, as well as outrageous and reckless conduct that allegedly warranted punitive damages. The court found in favor of the defense and dismissed the plaintiff's claims outright.
- Secured a dismissal of a defamation claim lodged against a large healthcare provider, as well as an individual executive from the same institution, facing alleged punitive damages. The claims for defamation, denied by the healthcare provider and the executive, were related to a former physician and department head.
- Received a dismissal for a health system client, where the estate of a 54-year-old man alleged that the staff of one of its hospital emergency rooms did not diagnose a cerebral vascular incident that caused his death three months after admission. The plaintiff declared counts of wrongful death—vicarious liability, wrongful death—corporate liability and a Survival Act claim. On the eve of trial, our hospital client was released from the case due in part to several summary judgments that mitigated many of the claims against the hospital itself, including corporate liability.
- Obtained a complete defense verdict after a two-week trial before the Honorable Marlene Lachman for an acute care hospital client involving allegations of a delay in intubation for a patient with angioedema, swelling of the neck, mouth and airway, secondary to prescription ACE inhibitors. The plaintiff's claims included claims of corporate negligence regarding emergency room coverage and specialty consultation availability for an airway emergency. The jury verdict was unanimous.
- Secured a dismissal for an acute care hospital in a breach of standard of care case. The plaintiff, a patient who received treatment at the facility, alleged that our client failed to identify her as a fall risk and prevent her alleged injuries. Through the aggressive pursuit of discovery, Burns White showed that the plaintiff failed to respond to any discovery requests and file a verification with the complaint. Prior to granting the dismissal, the court precluded the plaintiff from testifying about the information requested in our discovery requests.
- Received a favorable ruling in Philadelphia County where a hospital client, along with an affiliated physician and a nonprofit organization, were facing allegations of pneumonia diagnosis and treatment failure that led to a patient's death. The hospital and its corporate entity were being sued by the deceased's descendent under theories of vicarious liability and corporate liability. In two separate counts, plaintiff alleged a host of failures, including failure to obtain appropriate consultations, appropriately supervise nurses and residents, hire competent physicians and staff, and ensure quality medical care. In the first order, the court sustained Burns White's preliminary objections, striking plaintiff's claims of corporate negligence, vague allegations of agency and over 50 vague allegations of negligence from plaintiff's amended complaint. In the second order, the court granted a motion to enter a judgment of non pros on plaintiff's claims of corporate negligence, where plaintiff failed to file timely certificates of merit for claims of corporate negligence resulting in a dismissal with prejudice.
- Obtained a summary judgment in Trumbull County, Ohio for an insurance client in a coverage matter. The third-party plaintiffs, three nurses who were being sued for medical malpractice in relation to the obstetrical management, labor and delivery of a baby born on Feb. 24, 2010, were seeking liability insurance coverage, and damages for breach of contract and bad faith. Burns White argued that the policy did not apply to any loss prior to the retroactive date of Oct. 1, 2010, thus excluding the Feb. 24 incident from coverage. The court agreed, dismissing all counts in the third-party complaint with prejudice.
- Received a dismissal in the United States District Court in Philadelphia for a private placement and treatment services agency client in a matter raising serious claims of indifference, nonfeasance and malfeasance. Plaintiff, a woman alleging that she suffered physical abuse as a child while living in a foster home, brought the case after she reached the age of majority. Her claim, which was multifaceted, centered on Constitutional dimension claims under 42 U.S.C. §1983 involving our client, the local government's Department of Human Services and other private agencies. Burns White filed a motion to dismiss, relying upon the statute of limitations and plaintiff's failure to plead sufficient facts concerning the actions of the client to state a claim, including that the client was acting under the color of state law when working on plaintiff's behalf.
- Obtained a complete defense verdict for a healthcare institution client, where a husband and wife alleged damage to their personal property while on the client's premises. The court adjudicated on claims made by both the husband and wife, and considered testimony of all parties, including several eye witnesses.
- Received a defense verdict for a hospital client in a premises liability action in Philadelphia County. Following a detailed background investigation, Burns White introduced key witness testimony of the alleged accident which undermined all allegations of negligence against the hospital. At the time of arbitration, the panel attributed no liability to the facility and entered a defense verdict.
- Secured a dismissal in Chester County, Pa. for an executive of a solar power company in a breach of contract claim.
