[* 1] D ON411 112012 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK - NEW YORK COUNTY PRESENT: Hon. Doris Ling-Cohan, Justice Part 36 GOVIERNMENT EMPLOYEES INSURANCE COMPANY, INDEX NO. 1 10698/11 JAVIER ADORNO, Respondent. APR 112012 NW YOHK The following papers, numbered were considered on I C tm@L@#$%8f8&,q: 1 BW ME p PAPERS Notice of MotiodOrder to Show Cause, Answering Affidavits -Exhibits Replying AffPdavIts Cross-Motion: [ ] Yes -Affidavits -Exhibits 1.2 3 4 [ XI No Upon the foregoing papers, it is ordered that this motion is decided as indicated below. Petitioner Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO) commenced this special proceeding against respondent Javier Adorno (Adorno) to stay an arbitration. Respondent Adorno filed a Demand for Arbitration dated September 1,201 1 (Arbitration Demand), based on injuries allegedly sustained by him in an accident on February 10,2010 (Subject Accident) involving an allegedly uninsuredunderinsured motorist. The Arbitration Demand was based on an insurance policy issued by GEICO providing uninsuredunderinsured motorist benefits (GEICO Policy). Petitioner moves: (i) to permanently stay arbitration until respondent Adorno has complied wt ih all conditions precedent under the GEICO Policy; or alternatively, (ii) to direct respondent Adorno to produce all relevant medical records and authorizations, including a no-fault authorization, and submit to an examination under oath and physical examinations. The Subject Accident involved a 2001 Cadillac (2001 Cadillac), operated by non-party Tyease [* 2] Clark and a 2008 Honda (2008 Honda), operated by respondent Adorno. Respondent Adorno was stopped at a red light when she was rear-ended by the 2008 Honda. A police accident report (Police Report) w s filled out on the date of the Subject Accident. a Thereafter, respondent Adorno filed the Arbitration Demand referring to an insurance policy, issued by GEICO, providing uninsured motorist benefits. By letter dated September 9,201 1,GEICO requested that respondent Adorno agree to discovery. GEICO, alleging that respondent Adorno has failed to comply with the conditions precedent to arbitration, then commenced this proceeding arguing that a permanent stay of the arbitration is necessary given that respondent Adorno failed to provide written notice as soon as practicable. Alternatively, GEICO contends that a temporary stay of the arbitration is necessary for discovery. QlSCUS SlON GEICO claims that respondent Adorno has failed to fully comply with the necessary conditions precedent to arbitration as required by the GEICO Policy. Specifically, GEICO contends that a person seeking Supplementary UninsuredAJnderinsured Motorists (SUM) coverage must provide written notice as soon as practicable, the insured and every person making a claim must submit to examinations under oath, and the insured must submit to physical examinations by physicians selected by GEICO as often as reasonably required. See Petition, Exhibit B, p. 14. In opposition, respondent Adorno argues that the arbitration should not be permanently stayed as GEICO was placed on notice of his mimuredunderinsured motorist claims by letter dated March 8, 20 10. The March 8,2010 letter states that Kramer & Pollack, LLP "is filing a claim for all applicable no-fault, uninsured and underinsured motorist benefits on behalf of Javier Adorno for injuries sustained in an automobile accident which occurred on February 10,2010." Affirmation in Opposition, Exhibit A. Respondent Adorno also contends that GEICO's petition to stay arbitration is untimely, as are GEICO's 2 [* 3] discovery demands. As a preliminary matter, the within petition is timely in that it was filed within 20 days after service of the Arbitration Demand as required by CPLR 0 7503. "The law is well settled that the 20-day period provided in CPLR 7503(c) is to be computed from the time the demand for arbitration is received, not from the time it is mailed." Allstate Ins. Co. v Metayer, 137 AD2d 454,455 (lstDep't 1988). Furthermore, "[iln calculating the time in which a stay application is to be made, the day on which the demand is received is not included." Id Here, the Arbitration Demand, dated September 1 201 1, was received on September 2,201 1 and the petition filed on September 20,201 1. Accordingly, the petition was filed within the requisite 20 day period, and thus, denial on such basis is not warranted. Respondent Adorno further objects to GEICO's petition in that the request for discovery is untimely. Respondent Adorno contends that GECIO was provided with notice on March 8,2010 but failed to seek discovery until September 9,201 1. However, GEICO argues that the purported notice dated March 8,2010 was too overbroad and speculative to constitute notice of respondent Adorno's claim for no-fault, uninsured and underinsured motorist benefits. Further, GEICO argues that the GEICO Policy unequivocally requires respondent Adorno to submit to discovery prior to arbitration. CPLR 6 3 102(c) states that "disclosure to aid in bringing an action, to preserve information or to aid in arbitration, may be obtained, but only by court order," The Court of Appeals has found that "[wlhile a court may order disclosure to aid in arbitration...courts will not order disclosure except under extraordinary circumstances." De Supio v Kohlmeyer, 35 NY2d 402, 406 (1 974)(intemal quotations omitted). Moreover, "[c]ourt-ordered disclosure is not justified except where it is absolutely necessary for the protection of the rights of a party." International Components Corp. v Klaiber, 54 AD2d 550, 551 (1" Dep't 1976). Relying on the Appellate Division, Second Department, petitioner argues that "lpletitions to stay 3 [* 4] arbitration are properly denied when ...the carrier had ample time to obtain the discovery sought and unjustifiably failed to utilize that opportunity." Affirmation in Opposition, 7 9 (internal quotations omitted). See Matter ofAllstate Ins. Co. v Urena, 208 AD2d 623 (2"d Dep't 1994). However, the Appellate Division, Second Departrslent also held that where "[tlhe claimant has alleged physical injuries...[, i]f he is not compelled to submit to a physical examination, petitioner will be severely prejudiced ...[and i]n contradistinction, the claimant will suffer no prejudice if compelled to submit to the examination. [The court found] no indication in the record that petitioner intended to waive its right to compel the claimant to submit to a physical examination, or that its delay in seeking the examination constituted a dilatory ploy." Matter o State Farm Mutual Automobile Inns. Co. v Wernick,90 AD2d 5 19, f 5 19-520 (2nd Dep't 1982). Here, respondent Adomo is alleging serious injuries resulting from the Subject Accident. Based on the submissions before the court, GEICO's alleged delay in seeking discovery was not a "dilatory ploy". Id. C3EICO argues that it did not receive notice until the Arbitration Demand, dated September 1, 201 1. By September 9,201 1, GEICO requested discovery from respondent Adorno, a mere 8 days following receipt of the Arbitration Demand. Further, "[tlhe strong policy of this State requires the courts to enforce arbitration agreements as written". CSP Technologies, Inc. v Hekul, 57 AD3d 372,373 (1It Dep't 2008). In support of its petition, GEICO proffers the Conditions section of the GEICO Policy, 77 2 and 3, which states, in relevant part: 2. Notice and Proof of Claim: ...The insured ...shall...submit to examinations under oath by any person we name and subscribe the same. ... 3. Medical Reports: The insured shall submit to physical examinations by physicians we select when and as often as we may reasonably require. The insured ...shall upon each request from us authorize us to obtain relevant medical reports and copies of relevant records. Petition, Exhibit B, p. 14. While respondent Adorno alleges that GEICO failed to submit a copy of the GEICO policy, and instead submits copies of portions of UM/UIM insurance forms, it is undisputed that 4 ~. [* 5] the GEICO Policy required discovery prior to arbitration. Parties are permitted to contract and agree to rules and conditions to arbitration. CSP Technologies, Inc. v Hekal, 57 AD3d at 372. As such, the portion of petitioner's motion seeking a stay of the arbitration for discovery is granted. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the petition to stay arbitration is granted to the extent that respondent Javier Adorno is ordered to provide all relevant medical records and authorizations, and to submit to an examination under oath and an independent medical examination, to be scheduled wt petitioner ih Government Employees Insurance Company within 60 days of service hereof; and it is W h e r ORDERED that arbitration is stayed pending such examination under oath and independent medical examination as ordered above; and it is further ORDERED that petitioner shall serve a copy of this order, with notice of entry, upon respondent and the arbitrator within 30 days of entry hereof. This constitutes the decision and order of this Court. DORIS LING-COHAN, J.S.C.

Pachter: Call of Duty is a failure
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter spoke at the Digital Game Monetization Summit in San Francisco and one of the more shocking statements he made is that in his opinion, Call of Duty is a failure. Why? Because people can play online multiplayer… FOR FREE! Oh the horror!
"I know the game sells billions of dollars. Activision did a bad thing with Call of Duty from a profit perspective. They trained gamers that you can buy a game and play it all year, ten hours a week, forever, and you never have to pay again. You just wait for the next Call of Duty. I promise you there are plenty of people, numbering in the millions, who play one game, which is Call of Duty, and they never stop. That's just like the people who play World of Warcraft and never stop, yet the World of Warcraft guys are paying $180 a year, and the Call of Duty guys are paying $60. So who's got a better model? This multiplayer thing being free was a mistake. I don't think anybody ever envisioned it would be this big. It's a mistake because it keeps those people from buying and playing other games."
I think Pachter must have been sleeping the last 20 years. Activision didn't "train" that multiplayer is free, it has always BEEN free! It wasn't until MMO's started appearing that online gameplay became something people would be charged for! And secondly, MMO's like World of Warcraft are very rare to succeed. WoW indeed has been and still is selling strong, but what about all those other franchises? How many have actually been even nearly as successful as World of Warcraft and how many have been failures? Think about that!
Of course, Mr. Pachter is a financial analyst and as such only thinks about stock ratings, and money. Not about videogames as being fun to play but rather just a commodity that's created to bring in loads and loads of cash. It's people like him and their ever-increasing urge to find ways to earn MORE money that lead this world into a full-blown economic crisis. So should we listen to him? Hell no!

Cara B Naturally Baby Bar Soap
Gently cleanse delicate skin with the creamy blend of natural oils, shea butter, and aloe
Coconut oil, palm oil, safflower oil, glycerine (kosher, of vegetable origin), purified water, sodium hydroxide (saponifying agent), sorbitol (moisturizer), sorbitan oleate (emulsifier), soy bean protein (conditioner), aloe vera barbadensis leaf juice, shea butter, jojoba oil
Product Review:
I posted about Cara B Naturally's excellent customer service here: Natural Hair Care for Children. Now that I've had the opportunity to use all of their products, I will be posting reviews of each product. I decided to start with the Baby Bar Soap, because it is the very first product that I used. If I had to describe the soap in one word, I would use the word "light" , because this bar soap is so light and gentle on my toddler's skin. It has a very gentle, light fragrance, so you're not overwhelmed with perfumed fragrance as soon as you open the package like you are with some soaps. You can see from the ingredients above that it does not contain any unnatural/harsh ingredients. I also notice that my daughter's skin is not as dry after using this soap. You get three bars of soap when you order. So far, I still have not finished using the first bar, so each bar seems to be long lasting. I would highly recommend this product. Purchase it from the Cara B Naturally website: Cara B Naturally

Germans fall apart in second period, giving up five goals
CIVIC CENTRE It seems Latvia saved its best hockey for its most important games. After going winless in the preliminary round, the Latvians earned a critical win in the first game of the relegation round with a 7-1 rout of Germany.Germany Latvia 1-7 (1-1, 0-5, 0-1)The win keeps alive Latvias hopes of staving off relegation. Meanwhile, Germany has put itself in a must-win situation in its final relegation round game against Finland.Latvia exploded for five goals in the second period to break the game open. Four goals came in a span of 4:05, crushing the German morale. Roberts Bukarts was the man of the hour for Latvia, netting a hat trick in the game. Germany, the favorite entering the game, was clearly full of nerves, taking penalties early. Daniel Weiss gave the Germans a 1-0 lead 7:06 into the game, but less than 30 seconds later, Bukarts had the answer, tying the game at one.Things settled down for the rest of the period and didnt heat up until Bukarts struck for his second goal 5:23 into the second period. The goal sparked the Latvian offense to life as Janis Straupe made it 3-1 just 2:33 later. Just over a minute later, Bukarts completed his hat trick to give Latvia a three-goal lead.In an odd twist, Bukarts third goal prompted Latvian back-up goaltender Raimonds Ermics to toss his baseball hat on the ice in the traditional salute for a third goal, which earned Ermics two minutes and a game misconduct for tossing an object on the ice.While the referees were sorting out the Ermics penalty, the Germans decided it would be a good time to pull goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer in favour of Timo Pielmeier. Pielmeiers luck held out for just 31 seconds before he surrendered his first goal, a shorthanded tally by Vitalijs Pavlovs. The Latvians put in one final goal for good measure to close the period with an unlikely 6-1 lead.Latvias Ronalds Cinks closed the scoring with the only goal of the third period, bringing the final to 7-1 in a chippy third period that saw the Germans take a handful of penalties out of frustration in the last five minutes.Latvia is still not completely safe from relegation, but the three points from todays win are a big step in the right direction toward staying in the top division. One thing is certain: the final day of relegation round action will be action-packed as todays result now forces both teams to come up with victories in their last games of the championship to stay among the worlds elite.JENNY WIEDEKE

No Snitching
Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs JournalismIn 2007, 30 people were homicide victims in Newport News, Va., a 50 percent increase over 2006. Most of the deaths happened in the East End, a predominantly poor, African-American section of town. Police have said that a culture of "no snitching" has hindered their efforts to arrest suspects in many of the killings. Residents of East End feel isolated from the rest of the city. With no banks, large grocery stores, dry cleaners, movie theaters or shopping centers, they are forced to leave the area for basic services. This isolation has given many a strong sense of community, a distrust of the motives of the police and city government as well as fear of retaliation if they do come forward with information.

Circumspect & Sudden Formality
Written by Robbin
(8/26/2011 11:13 a.m.)
in consequence of the missive, her own wheel, penned by Stephanie
I see (:D) but how is JA circumspect with Cassandra about her reasoning or is suddenly formal about Mrs. Knight's proposed gift in my interpretation? I don't see a lack of frankness towards Cassandra rather I see in the service of gratitude, kindness and consideration a great lack of frankness to Mrs. Knight. I think JA felt and wrote to Mrs. Knight with kindness and gratitude but jokes with Cassandra about how the gift is unwanted and unneeded. The paragraph from Ltr. 74 dissected as I read it: I have taken your hint, slight as it was, and have written to Mrs. Knight, and most sincerely do I hope it will not be in vain. Jane wrote to Mrs. Knight at Cassandra's urging because the lady "threatens" to give Jane her spinning wheel. I can believe Jane "most sincerely" hopes writing to decline the gift will not be in vain for Mrs. Knight's sake and her own. I think accepting the wheel comes with an obligation to put it to good use—something it appears JA sincerely wishes to avoid because she has no wish to spin. How many times have you been asked how a gift is working out? I cannot endure the idea of her giving away her own wheel, and have told her no more than the truth, in saying that I could never use it with comfort. I can also believe JA did not wish Mrs. Knight to deprive herself on her account—especially as it appears the wheel is of no value to JA beyond the kindness and generosity behind the gift. The phrase "and have told her no more than the truth" suggests there is truth JA did not reveal to Mrs. Knight about why she could never use it with comfort. I think the truth spared is that JA would have no pleasure in the gift. I had a great mind to add that, if she persisted in giving it, I would spin nothing with it but a rope to hang myself, but I was afraid of making it appear less serious matter of feeling than it really is. JA understood Mrs. Knight's proposed gift is generous and thoughtful and therefore is and should be handled as a serious matter of feeling. I think JA would rather do anything than appear ungrateful therefore only Cassandra enjoys her joke the only usefulness she would ever have of a spinning wheel would be in spinning a rope to hang herself. I feel JA earnestly did not wish to be obligated into spinning and thought a great deal of Mrs. Knight's generosity but I just don't see she is worried the lady wants to deprive herself of a personal treasure on her account. However I do think by withholding some of her feelings she was kind and considerate to Mrs. Knight and it is an example of winnowing her content depending on the audience. (:D)

Alright, so I shoulda known that all those demos were leading up to something. The "something" was another webquest.
The webquest's about a king that assigned five goldsmiths to make him a crown of gold each. They do, but they have shady reputations, and we are told that FOUR of the goldsmiths have (gasp!) not used all of the gold! They mixed in other materials instead. So we start.
We get information about the crowns' mass and density. And Crown Four, with a mass of 3474 grams and 180 cc, is the one with the density of gold! Which is 19.3 g/cc, by the way.
Are we done yet? Oh no, 'cause we have to write a letter to King Hiero (aka Mr. G) explaining what density is, what we got for all those crowns, and what those goldsmiths have to say for themselves and why they are wrong. This takes a LONG time, and I'm probably the only one to get full points.
This better get me some points.

A year after 20 schoolchildren were gunned down in Newtown, Connecticut, the small US town has asked to be left alone to mark the anniversary -- and many media outlets are respecting their wishes. On December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza went on a gruesome killing spree, using a military-style Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle to kill 20 children and six adults in about 10 minutes, after having already shot his mother to death at home. Some Newtown families have planned to light candles Friday night in memory of the victims, and a ceremony was held Thursday in the National Cathedral in Washington. President Barack Obama has also said he will hold a moment of silence at the White House on Saturday with his wife, Michelle.

It would probably be an overstatement to refer to Tulsa's recent municipal elections as a political tsunami. But there's little doubt the results have dramatically changed the elected-officials component of city government.
In addition to a new mayor in Republican Dewey Bartlett Jr., Tulsa voters elected a new city auditor, Republican Preston Doerflinger, who unseated longtime incumbent Phil Wood. But the biggest changes may be coming on the City Council, where four new councilors will be seated in December.
In the Nov. 10 elections, District 4 incumbent Eric Gomez, a Republican, lost to Democratic challenger Maria Barnes. In District 6, Democratic incumbent Dennis Troyer lost to Republican challenger Jim Mautino, and in District 3, Democratic challenger Roscoe Turner beat independent incumbent David Patrick and Republican challenger Karl Hulcher.
Combined with challenger Chris Trail's upset victory over Bill Martinson in the District 5 Republican primary--which gave Trail the seat, as no Democrats or independents filed to run--that means the eight-district council will have undergone a 50-percent turnover rate.
But the three councilors who emerged victorious last week will not be new faces. Each of the three, in fact, has held the seat before, a strong indication of the fickle nature of the local political scene.
Mautino--first elected to the seat in 2004, only to be defeated by Troyer two years later--was particularly delighted with his victory, claiming he was heavily outspent by the incumbent. Mautino seemed to get plenty of bang for his political buck: he said he spent $2,543 on his primary and general election campaigns, a pittance by modern political standards.
"I had a lot of good people and some real good friends helping me," he said. "And a lot of good voters voted."
Mautino said every time one of his supporters planted a yard sign, the Troyer campaign put out two.
"But I found out signs don't vote," he said.
Mautino said he was thrilled about Bartlett's victory in the mayor's race, and he expects the new council to take a leadership role in solving the city's problems.
As for the challenges facing his district, Mautino sounded a familiar theme.
"We need to do something about our deteriorating roads and about the safety of the roads we're fixing now," he said.
Mautino, who has created a PowerPoint presentation on that issue, is particularly upset about a stretch of 145th East Avenue between South 21st Street and South 31st Street. He said the recently milled road has no shoulder and features a dangerous 18- to 20-inch drop-off.
"There have been five accidents on that road in two and a half months--two of them head on," he said, adding that guard rails on both sides have been damaged and replaced.
Mautino also is concerned about the state of East 41st Street and East 51st Street east of 145th East Avenue. He believes all three of those thoroughfares were poorly constructed and are a hazard to motorists, though he acknowledges that many drivers are traveling too fast on those roads.
Mautino has been an outspoken critic of the city's Public Works Department and the tendency of the city to outsource so much of its road work to independent contractors. He was particularly alarmed by a recent scandal in Public Works that exposed a bribery and fraud ring involving millions of dollars in construction and consulting contracts.
Originally, Mautino said he did not have much faith that a review of Public Works that was being conducted by a St. Paul, Minn., firm at the behest of Mayor Kathy Taylor would reveal much.
"I fully believed it was going to be a whitewash, but it's a scathing report," he said.
Mautino said it's imperative to get the problems at the Public Works Department resolved for the benefit of other city departments that are suffering during the budget crunch.
"We need to make sure we get a full audit report and implement it," he said. "I believe once we're operating more efficiently, we won't have any problem getting the budget straightened out and paying our police and fire departments," he said.
A simple 1 percent reduction in the overall city budget--which Mautino believes can be achieved by a more efficiently run Public Works Department--would result in a savings of more than $2 million, enough to address the public safety shortfalls, he said.
Mautino said he felt vindicated by the Public Works review, although he still feels like there's more to be discovered.
"It's really a lot worse than the report says," he said, adding that he regularly receives information from people alleging continued wrongdoing at Public Works.
Mautino said he heard from a lot of residents in his district that they were upset about city government's move to a new home at One Technology Center and the construction of ONEOK Field, the new home for the Tulsa Drillers, which is being financed largely by a downtown property assessment district, private donations and the Drillers' lease.
"Those were the two things that came up all the time," he said. "There was a large number of people dissatisfied with Mayor Taylor and thought she didn't care anything about the people out here. They thought she was just wasting money."
Mautino said many other District 6 residents are upset about the area's crime rate and what he termed the lack of police cooperation. He said a recent utility rate increase was also bothersome to district residents, many of whom are retired, he said.
"That all combined to form a backlash at what's happened in Tulsa," he said.
In District 3, Turner--who previously held the seat from 1998 to 2002 and 2004 to 2008--was pleased to be returning to city government. He attributed his victory to a renewed sense of urgency among his supporters.
"Last time, people didn't get out and vote," he said. "They just assumed I had it won, and they didn't go to the polls. This time, they did. That's the difference."
Turner promised to serve as an independent voice on the council.
"I'm not there for the establishment," he said. "I'm there for regular people. That's my position and always will be my position."
He said his first order of business will be to help the city find a new, more stable source of income than the sales tax receipts it relies on now. Sharp reductions in those funds during economic downturns in recent years have left the city in a bad position financially, including this fiscal year, when every city employee has been required to take several furlough days.
Turner said he's seen that problem repeat itself several times throughout the years, and he believes the council needs to make a priority of working with the state Legislature to identify a funding source that will allow the city to get off the sales tax roller coaster.
"We need to find something that's stable, and I know the sales tax isn't stable," he said.
Turner knows it won't be easy to get everyone pulling in the same direction. He said his previous terms on the council taught him that local politics is a "dog-eat-dog world," and there aren't many people who are concerned about doing something for the populace as a whole.
Even so, Turner said he relishes the chance to get involved again.
"I'm looking forward to getting back to work and helping people, that's all," he said. "We've got an opportunity to really make some big differences, as far as the city of Tulsa is concerned."
Barnes, a longtime neighborhood advocate who served on the council from 2006 to 2008 before losing to Gomez, reclaimed her seat last week. She might have been part of the change that saw four incumbent councilors swept out of office across the city, but she declined to speculate about the reasons for that turnover.
"I really only paid attention to my campaign, and I was very focused on that," she said. "People got out and voted. What reasons people had for voting the way they did in other council districts, I don't know."
Barnes said there was no one issue in particular that galvanized voters in her district and convinced them to return her to office. But she said many voters were upset about a number of developments in the district, feeling they had no voice in the approval process. Asked if she was referring to the construction of a group home at 10 N. Yale that has become a lightning rod for controversy, she replied, "Not necessarily."
Barnes said she was particularly excited about the potential adoption of the recommendations coming out of the PLANiTULSA process and the update to the city's comprehensive plan, something that is expected to play out over the first half of 2010. She said she would begin planning a series of town hall meetings soon across the district to address that subject.
As for her own district, Barnes said the concerns that were most often expressed to her during the campaign dealt mostly with abandoned houses and the crime rate.
Barnes believes she is better positioned to be an effective representative for District 4 voters this time because of her previous term on the council.
"I think I've learned who the players are, who you need to go to to get things done, how it functions," she said.
Barnes said she remained active in district affairs even after being voted out of office.
"I still had people who called me after I left the council and asked me to help them," she said. "I tried to be helpful. It just felt like I've stayed in the groove and had good relationships with people."

Video: Police: Woman purposely torched her own apartment complex
ST. PETERSBURG, Florida-- For some people, it was the sound of screams. For others, it was a loud knock on their window.
Either way, the residents of 2018 N Dr. Martin Luther King St. were alerted quickly Sunday morning that flames were ripping through their apartment complex.
Soon after, they found out that a fellow resident named Paula Ayers was charged with intentionally setting the complex on fire.
"She does pills and she's out of her mind," said Sharon Eneim, whose unit was heavily damaged by fire. "Yesterday, she went all crazy and went in my room, and when she went in my room, I had to kick her out, and I knew she was on something. I knew something like this was going to happen."
Ayers has had several aliases and arrests over the last few years, according to records. Those charges include battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, making false crime reports and false 911 calls, and disorderly conduct and disorderly intoxication.
No one was hurt in the fire, though the flames spread quickly to the attic, destroying many of the homes below.
"I don't know what I'm going to do. I haven't thought it out. It happened so fast," Eneim said.
Residents say the Red Cross is helping them out, putting them up in a hotel for three days as they find new places to call home.
"I don't wish [Ayers] no kind of evil," said Eneim. "I'm not that kind of person. I feel very sad for her."
Ayers has been charged with First Degree Arson and is being held on $100,000 bond ahead of her first appearance. Authorities had to seek medical treatment for her on Sunday before she could be officially booked into jail.

Thursday, March 26th, 2009I am the green of your eyes
and the red tiny tomatoes
filled with the water of sadness.
I am the snow bear
skating on a frozen lake
and the Himalaya
shrinking day after day
and everyone knows why.
It's hard to say my name.
That's why people call me my nickname, Abdul.
I am the soccer ball who never
betrayed its team and offered them
the World Cup.
I am young male red apple
feeding humanity,
an African of Moroccan blood,
fishing for the fourth language.
I am a giant cactus all alone
in the center of the ocean
protecting myself from the noise.
I am the end of the week
at school, the day of my favorite food,
couscous on the moon.
I am the blood of the Red Sea,
calm and warm.

Mathematics is not only the collection of Numbers of different types(i.e, natural numbers, whole numbers, fractions, integers, rational and irrational numbers and real numbers) but also includes the combination of mathematical operators(i.e, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) which actually increase relevancy of existence of the numbers.
The basic operations of subtraction are stated below. Basically subtraction word is significant for subtracting or separating a part or portion from the given quantity. The '-' sign is used to represent the operations of subtraction.
Subtraction can be done by backward counting, which is the most easy and beginners method of subtraction. If we simply need to subtract 5 from 23, then we count 5 backward. So, we have 22, 21, 20, 19 and 18 as previous 5 numbers. So we get 18 as the result.
23 - 5 = 18
To do some complex calculations of subtraction i.e, for higher digits row method was developed in which subtraction process became easy. Here we start subtraction from ones place and proceed towards left of the place value as tens, hundreds... and so on .
Here we can see that both the Numbers are same, and when we do subtraction of same numbers the result is always zero. Now, we will see how you can subtract this using Column Subtraction, how this process is executed.
So, answer is zero.
Here we have 3 to left of '–' while 2 on the right side of it, and as we know that the value of 3 is greater than that of 2, the result will be positive and we have to subtract these single digit Numbers.
So, we get 1 on subtracting 2 from 3.
Here we can see that the number to the left of " - " is smaller than that on the right side of sign so, the result will be have a negative sign, and apart from this we will just subtract 7 by 3 and then put a negative sign in the solution.
Here we have will change the sign after doing the subtraction, hence we will get " - 4 ".
Here we have a 2 digit number and a 1 digit number and also the number to the left of ' -' sign is greater than the number to the right, hence the output will be positive.
1 0
- 2
0 8
Here we will first borrow one to make zero at once Position 10 and then subtract 2 from it, placing 8 as output and leaving 0 at ten's place.
Here we have a 3 digit number and we have to subtract a two digit number from it, first we will do the process of subtraction being followed from the one's Position and then moving to the tenth position of that number and in this way we get 938 with a positive sign.
9 6 1
- 2 3
9 3 8
Thus, answer is 938.
Here again we have bigger number to the left of '-' sign and we have smaller number to the right of it, giving us positive number, and applying the simple subtraction of first one's and later tenth Position.
We will now see the Graphical representation of this process of subtraction.
7 8
- 3 5
4 3
Here, we have a simple subtraction and from this we first do the subtraction at one's place and then will move to subtraction at ten's place. Following ( 8 – 5 ) and then ( 7 -3 ) to get the output i.e. 43.
Here, we have simple subtraction of a 3 digit number with a 2 digit number, and result will be a positive number. We will now see the Graphical representation of this process of subtraction.
1 1 1
- 1 9
9 2
Thus, answer is 92.
Here we will first do the subtraction at one's Position, and then move to the tenth position and after that to the hundredth position, but as the number on the right is smaller to the number on the left of '-', the result will be positive in the end. We will now see the Graphical representation of this process of subtraction.
9 8 7
- 9 6 8
0 1 9
Thus answer is 19.
Subtract 34 from 0 means 0 - 34. As we can see the number to the right of '-' is greater than the number to the left in that case, the result will be negative. Here first do simple subtraction, which give us 34 and put a negative sign in the result.
We will now see the Graphical representation of this process of subtraction.
3 4
- 0
3 4
Thus, we will get -34 when we subtract 34 from 0.
Subtract 96 from 800 means 800 - 96.
8 0 0
- 9 6
7 0 4
In this 0 at the one's Position borrow 1 from the zero at the ten's position as it is also zero so first zero at ten's position will borrow one from 8 which is at hundredth position and it become 10, now we borrow 1 from 10 and now 0 at one's position become 10. and become 10. Now, we first subtract 6 from 10 and get 4. When we borrow 1 from zero it becomes nine. Now, subtract 9 from 9 we get 0 and in at hundred position now only 7 remains. Thus, answer is 704.

Choosing a Horse's Bit for Comfort and EffectivenessBy Kentucky Equine Research Staff · November 28, 2011
Horse owners look for two basic things in a bit: comfort for the horse and control for the rider. However, the available variety of bit styles, sizes, actions, and materials is overwhelming, and choosing the right bit isn't always easy, especially for a new rider.
Even with this incredible variety, selecting a bit may be simpler than you think. First, look at the bits being used by those who ride the same type of horse in the same discipline that you have chosen. Choosing a bit of the same type used by these more experienced riders is probably a good place to start. Avoid the extremes: most likely you don't need a bit with super-long shanks or an excessively high port.
Thickness and width of the mouthpiece are important because in general, thicker mouthpieces cause less discomfort to the horse. Width should be about half an inch wider than the horse's mouth to avoid pinching the jaw. You may be able to try out some bits owned by other people to help determine the correct width for your horse.
Ask more experienced riders to help you adjust the bridle so that the bit rests at the proper level in the horse's mouth. It should not be so low that it bangs the horse's teeth, or so high that it causes excessive wrinkling at the corners of the mouth.
Bits may be constructed of various metals, rubber, or plastic. For pleasure riding, just about any material may be acceptable, but some disciplines such as dressage have explicit requirements that cover bit construction, thickness, and form. A show official is stationed outside the show ring to check each horse's bit, and anyone using a nonapproved bit is not allowed to ride. Be sure to check the rulebook for your discipline of choice as to the most recent bit regulations.
Stainless steel, cold-rolled steel, nickel, brass, silver, and copper are common bit materials, and many bits use a combination of metals to add durability or encourage salivation. Copper inlays are a popular choice to help keep the horse's mouth moist. Bits that appear to be covered with a thin layer of rust are made of so-called "sweet iron" and the rusty flavor is said to be pleasant for horses.
A familiar scenario is a horse that doesn't behave well in a certain bit. The rider's fix for this situation is to get a different bit that produces a harsher action in the horse's mouth. The horse, instead of performing better, gets jumpier and harder to ride, so the rider looks for an even more severe bit. The end of the story is often a nervous, unhappy horse and an owner who begins to find reasons to avoid riding.
Before starting down this path, consider other reasons why a horse might be fighting the bit or misbehaving under saddle. First, have a competent veterinarian or equine dentist examine the horse's teeth. A broken molar, sharp point, or retained deciduous tooth may be to blame, or the current bit may have caused an injury or bruise to the horse's mouth.
Second, the rider's hands may be rough or overactive, causing the horse to try to evade bit pressure. Rather than choosing a more severe bit, going back to a thick snaffle can sometimes works wonders for these horses because this is a gentler bit that spreads the pressure over a wider area. However, any bit can cause pain if it's used in the wrong way or if pressure is applied all the time. Combined with curb chains or other devices, some bits are capable of inflicting severe injuries on a horse's jaw and palate. Instead of pulling harder on the reins, try letting out about half an inch of rein at a time and see whether the horse goes more quietly. Use gentle pressure instead of jerking or tugging at the reins, and never take out your anger on the horse by deliberately causing painful bit action.
Finally, the rider may have quiet hands but just not enough riding knowledge, and the horse may be getting contradictory signals from the rider's hands, legs, and weight. This is even more of a problem if the horse is also young or untrained. Ask a more experienced rider to get on the horse and see if it seems to go better for this person. If so, you may be able to find an instructor who can help you learn to communicate better with your mount.
For some horses, a bit of any type seems to be an aggravation that makes it impossible for the horse to relax and offer a quiet ride. Getting rid of the bit and riding in a bitless bridle or a hackamore may be the only way to overcome this problem. These appliances may look gimmicky, but a fair number of top competition horses regularly compete and win with these systems.

Besides technical presentations, IANA report and the like, it could include the IAB time, since the IAB is about 'strategic' issues. (Having the IESG later in the week is useful since it can reflect operational issues that might have cropped up.) The only problem I see with that is psychological - with such a hard week of work ahead, I kind of like knowing that I can unlax on Sunday (after the IEPG.) To me, a Sunday plenary would make the week feel too packed.

Hawes is having a career year. When the Sixers trade him, what return value should they expect?
Also involved is Iman Shumpert of NYK and Luol Deng of Chicago. Those seem more likely, but then again: HINKIE.
The Rockets needed to clear cap space and the Sixers have taken Royce White off their hands for future draft considerations.
There are still pieces to be moved on the Sixers if Sam Hinkie wants to continue the demolition job he started on draft night.
No moves, no tweaks, no plans for the future. Just nothing. More waiting.
"DO SOMETHING RESEMBLING ANYTHING" - When Harry Met The Sixers At The Trade Deadline. It may not be the smartest idea for the Sixers to make a trade, but screw it, let's just do one.
There are an awful lot of ways the Sixers can go with this, but the most likely scenario is them staying pat and waiting to see what happens with Bynum.
Woj is reporting that the Sixers could be interested in the Magic's J.J. Redick. Any trade for him would likely result in relinquishing Evan Turner. How would that work?
And Lou Amundsen, but the flashier one would be Smith, who would cost a few important pieces and may end up walking at the end of the season.

This step is one of Bobbi's "secrets to the universe." If you have really dark circles or just need extra coverage, start off with the corrector, which brightens and neutralizes discoloration. Next, layer a yellow-toned concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone over the corrector. It might be an extra step, but believe us -- it's worth it!

Accountant tackles Great North Run after colleague's leukaemia diagnosis (From Darlington and Stockton Times)

Accountant tackles Great North Run after colleague's leukaemia diagnosis
4:20pm Friday 6th September 2013 in News By Joe Willis, Regional Chief Reporter
AN accountant has swapped tax returns for trainers as he prepares to tackle the Great North Run to raise money for the hospital treating a well-known colleague diagnosed with cancer.
Harvey Madden, a partner at North-East firm Rowlands Accountants, found out he had leukaemia earlier this year.
Mr Madden played a central role in the fan takeover of Darlington FC after he was appointed as the club's administrator last year.
Peter Gray, a partner at Rowlands who works in the company's Yarm and Birtley offices, hopes to raise £2,000 in sponsorship when he attempts the Great North Run later this month.
All proceeds will go to the haematology unit at North Tees Hospital, where his colleague Mr Madden is receiving treatment.
Mr Gray said: "Running a half marathon will be tough, but not as tough as fighting leukaemia.
"I knew that the guys at the haematology unit do great work, but it was really brought home to me when my good friend and business partner Harvey Madden was diagnosed with leukaemia earlier in the year.
"They are really looking after him and he is making tremendous progress."
Mr Madden, who heads Rowlands insolvency practice from its Yarm office, discovered he was suffering from leukaemia, a cancer that affects the blood cells, bone marrow or lymphatic system, when he contacted his doctor after feeling tired and listless.
He said: "It was a massive shock when I was diagnosed with acute leukaemia following an initial week in the haematology unit at North Tees Hospital.
"The treatment is ongoing but the haematology unit staff have been first rate and wonderfully supportive. It is a physical as well as mental help."
Mr Madden played cricket for Coundon and cricket and hockey for Norton.
Denis Pinnegar, former chairman of Darlington FC, said he and other supporters wished him well.
"The fans owe him a debt of gratitude. There were several times when he could have pulled the plug but didn't while administrator. He admitted that he had become a fan of the club."
Mr Gray has set up a Just Giving page to collect donations and sponsorship for the Great North Run.

EXCELLENT CHOICE... I am originally from Hazleton. So when I am sending something there I still like to order it locally instead of from an internet company. I was so disappointed when I recently called the local florists, I grew up with, only to find none of them could put together a fruit basket. They all said no, and/or had some drawn out excuse for not doing it. I searched the internet...

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is being investigated by a Massachusetts grand jury for possible gun trafficking, a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Monday.
Photographer: Pool photo
Posted: 09/15/2013
(CNN) -- The man suing ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez for shooting him in the face has responded to Hernandez's request for a delay in the lawsuit until his murder charges in Massachusetts are resolved.
Alexander Bradley, in a motion filed by his lawyer on September 12, argues there's no reason for a delay, because the cases are completely unrelated with no overlapping issues. His attorneys further state any additional delays would be "highly prejudicial" to Bradley's case because there is no way of telling how long Hernandez's murder case will take to come to a conclusion.
In court papers, Bradley's attorneys maintain "delaying this case, for what could be years, would be extremely prejudicial to Mr. Bradley in terms of seeking compensation for the very severe injuries he suffered as a result of being shot in the eye."
Bradley is suing Hernandez, claiming the then-New England Patriot tight end shot Bradley in February after the two got into a fight at a Miami strip club. In a lawsuit filed in June, Bradley said Hernandez fired at him during a limo ride after leaving the club and that Hernandez intentionally "possessed a gun which he was not legally licensed to have."
Bradley said he lost the sight in one eye and continues to receive treatment.
In a motion filed in early September by his lawyers, Hernandez argues that he's unable to defend himself while battling murder and weapons charges stemming from the execution-style killing in June of Odin Lloyd.
Bradley appeared in July before a grand jury investigating Lloyd's death. Prosecutors won't comment on why Bradley was called to testify, citing the secrecy of the proceedings.
However, one of Bradley's lawyers has asserted the grand jury likely wanted to relate Hernandez's alleged conduct in Florida to Lloyd's slaying in Massachusetts.
Hernandez's lawyers state "it is beyond any reasonable contention that the issues in Bristol County (Massachusetts) ... overlap those of this case."
In court papers, Hernandez maintains it would be difficult to adequately defend himself against Bradley's suit while simultaneously battling a murder charge from a jail cell where he's being held without bail.
His lawyers also argue that if he had to answer questions in the civil lawsuit during an ongoing criminal case, he would be forced to invoke the Fifth Amendment to protect himself from self-incrimination. In some jurisdictions, they add, invoking the Fifth Amendment would amount to an admission of guilt.
Bradley's attorneys say this argument should not be "well taken," citing case law that says use of the Fifth Amendment privilege does not compel an adverse judgment and the mere possibility of suffering a disadvantage does not justify the issuance of a stay.
Messages to Hernandez's lawyers were not answered.
Hernandez, who pleaded not guilty in Lloyd's death, is next expected to appear in court on October 8 in Fall River, Massachusetts.

A Spectacular "T.V." Lunch
There are all sorts of ways to enjoy nature: hiking, walking, running, stroller riding, investigating, learning, adventuring… but to me, one of the greatest ways to enjoy it is eating.
I remember backpacking trips where the entire day was full of splendid views, animals, butterflies, flowers, and what I remember the most is sitting down at the end of the day with my little whisperlite stove and cooking up something good.
I remember trips to beach with my grandparents, playing in the sand and the surf, flying kites, and going on walks yet what sticks out the most? Eating peanut butter and jelly and being told that this is why they call it a SANDwich.
I remember schools trips where we snacked in parks, fields, or in the woods: I even remember in first grade there was a huge forsythia bush that we played and ate under.
These days I love to take the kids in the stroller or just out out backdoor into the back field where we sit on a blanket and have a picnic.
It tickled me to death the day my son and his friend took their lunch trays out the backdoor for a "T.V." lunch- this is what it looked like!
Kids are so creative when the walls of the house aren't barriers.
How have you opened the door for your children today?

Hi Shannon
Love the TV lunch! We are lucky enough with the weather here in the Okanagan to eat outdoors from March to late October but we love picnics in all weather – even the snow!
Thanks for sharing.Check out one of my book characters favorite outdoor activities: 10 Great ways for kids to spend time outdoors: http://bit.ly/9EyhwJ

This is so adorable! Living in Southern California, we don't eat outdoors nearly as much as we should. Thanks for the reminder.
.-= Debi´s last blog ..El Matador State Beach =-. -
so cute! my kids love to eat outside. It's dry season right now in Costa Rica, so we're taking advantage (rain will come again before we know it and eating outside on a blanket almost everyday for lunch or snack or something. It is true that does create memories!
.-= Leslie´s last blog ..Seven Years =-. -
Yes, yes, I love to eat outside. Food really does taste better, and the scenery is better than a wall, usually.
I have to say that my suburban back yard is not the most scenic place to eat, which is why I'm very busy doing a garden plan to improve it. I don't have acreage, but you have to work with what you have. Right? The sounds of birds and the trees moving in the breeze are always nice.
We're such creatures of habit though. It took me 10 years to realize that breakfast outside in a Kansas summer is lovely, while lunch and dinner are not!

I share that delicious memory of pb&j on the beach…it brought a smile to my face to think of that. And how timely…we're having a break in the rain here in No. California and when I suggested a backyard picnic to my little person, she was thrilled. We had a wonderful lunch and then spent time both cloud watching and weeding. I need to remember that we can have an outside meal more often.
Hi there Great Post… I am all for picnics… rain or sunshine, if its lunch it is outdoors!!! I have some very resourceful shade-seekers right now as we shelter from mid-summer sunshine.
.-= se7en´s last blog ..Sunday Snippet: Three Special Stories – A GiveAway… =-. -
Looks lovely! I can't wait to get back to our picnic table for midday meals. It's been snowed under since the middle of December.
We still try to walk my daughters to and from school most days, despite the cold.

ARM Types and Uses (MAR RP)
Welcome to the ARM Type thread I will list all ARM types and explain how they work.
Simple ARM: Spoiler:
Holy ARM: Spoiler:
Weapon ARM: Spoiler:
Darkness ARM: Spoiler:
Dimension ARM: Spoiler:
Guardian ARM: Spoiler:
Nature ARM: Spoiler:
Ghost ARM: Spoiler:
Unique ARM: Spoiler:
An ARM's power depends largely upon the user's aptitude - mentally, physically and above all, magically: one must have magical power - without it, the user is incapable of using powerful ARMs, or in case he/she uses weak ARMs, the effect is minimal. So that one born of magicless blood (therefore with no such innate capacity) can have magical power, he/she opts for either training compatibility with ARM (e.g using ARM in multiple fights) or synchronizing with it - to think ARM is a part of the body. The second option often requires what one calls 'sixth sense' - the stronger the sense, the more consummate an user one will become. When the user can fully synchronize with the ARM, he befits the title of ARM user - as he fights, his magical power will increase, as will the power of ARM in accordance with it. This, however, can be a fatal flaw to those who use elemental Nature ARMs: as one synchronizes with them, one's physical state is highly susceptible to the ARM's element's anti-elementals (e.g fire weakens ice), which will eventually exhaust the two remaining factors in a chain-reaction.

A terrific unique alternative to a debossed well form/card. InfoCard is constructed by affixing a plastic or kimdura card directly into a patched area of the sheet. The product is more uniform in thickness than other affixed card constructions and passes through cut sheet and fanfold continuous laser printers cleanly. The surface of the sheet and the card are more uniform providing a better surface for laser/toner based imaging. InfoSeal's unique construction minimizes the extra thickness caused by the addition of the ID Card meaning InfoCard is more suited for laser printing and for use in Pressure Seal and Self Seal Mailers.
InfoCard has the following features:

The Arkansas Urban Forestry Council (AUFC) recently honored two individuals at its annual conference for outstanding work in planting and caring for trees in their communities, as well as encouraging others to do likewise.
The 2012 Urban Forestry Professional of the Year is Alison Litchy, an urban forester with the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.
Dr. Douglas Jeffries, professor of biology and environmental studies at the University of the Ozarks at Clarksville, was recognized as the 2012 Urban Forestry Volunteer of the Year.
The Arkansas Urban Forestry Council is a nonprofit organiza
tion dedicated to the conservation of urban and community trees.
The council's origin goes back to the 1990 Farm Bill, which substantially increased funding for state urban forestry initiatives. To manage these funds effectively, the Arkansas Forestry Commission created an advisory committee on urban forestry issues.
In 1993, the committee took the name "Arkansas Urban and Community Forestry Council" (AUCFC) and established an independent board of directors.
AUFC's purpose is to assist Arkansans regarding the conservation and improvement of the state's urban and community forests.
