Billionaire Steve Ballmer to debut public database showcasing government spending
WASHINGTON - Los Angeles Clippers owner and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will debut a database he's collected for the last three years that will show revenue and spending by federal, state and local governments in the U.S.
According to The New York Times, his start-up utilized the help of professionals - economists and professors - that contributed to the data collection.
USAFacts is expected to launch Tuesday according to the report.
As of 9 ET, the site stated "Coming soon..."
Ballmer told the times he "would like citizens to be able to use this to form intelligent opinions."
"People can disagree about what to do — I'm not going to tell people what to do."
Approaching the project with what the Times describes as "an unlimited budget," Ballmer spent more than $10 million between funding and grants.
"I'm happy to fund the damn thing."
The project pulls data that explores questions about how many people work for the government, and who is included in that category: public school and higher-ed employees.
Ballmer kept it a goal to keep the project apolitical, and felt he was able to accomplish that by only using data collected by the government.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

Suburban artists get a little recognition at Arts Unlimited reception
A former writing teacher at London Middle School in Wheeling took her own advice and wound up earning her first place in the Daily Herald Community Art & Writing Contest.
This was the fourth time Paula Matzek of Mount Prospect won a prize in the prose division of the contest, which coincides with Northwest Suburban High School District 214's monthlong celebration of the arts.
Her short story "German Lessons" reflected Matzek's trip last summer to Germany and Austria; consequently, it was filled with lots of the vivid imagery she had seen.
"I always told my students to write from their own experience and fill it with lots of detail," Matzek said.
JoAnne Rooney of Arlington Heights placed second in the prose category with her short story "Goodnight." The story tells of a 6-year-old girl coming to terms with a new mother and of the song she sang every night to the child that slowly won her over.
Like Matzek, Rooney belongs to an adult writing group, which helps critique and enhance her work. The former educator and writer for an education association won the writing contest several years ago and she has continued to write ever since.
"I have all this writing stored in my computer but never knew what to do with it," Rooney said. "This contest gives us a forum for our work."
Third-place winner Dennis Depcik of Buffalo Grove, never entered a writing contest before, but his piece "A Wanted Death," about accompanying his wife as she slowly died, drew the attention of the judges with its honesty and emotion.
"We used to write to one another when I was in the service, but she was just the kid sister of a friend of mine," Depcik said. "She went from being an insignificant kid sister to the most important person in my life."
Elk Grove High School students won the visual art portion of the contest, including Haley Gorski for her piece "White Rotary"; Emma Pierce for her watercolor "Sleep"; and Paris Hunsaker for her work "Untitled."
"I like to involve mythology and realism -- and pack as much detail as I can in small pieces," said Pierce of Des Plaines, a senior who intends to pursue art in college. "That's why my work is mostly small."
Poetry winners included Kristen Franke, who won first place for her poem, "Grief"; Borislav Strahilov took second place for his poem, "Ford"; and Sarah Caprio placed third for her poem titled "The Blanket."
In all, more than 100 entries were submitted to the community art and writing contest, officials said.
Former Rolling Meadows High School English teacher Bill Leece returned to judge the prose pieces, and he said that he looks for pieces rich in detail that make an emotional connection with the reader.
"I never know whether it's been written by a high school student or an adult," Leece said, "and that's what makes it so delightful."

Idiocracy truly was prescient.
"Science was made up by humans". Oh the irony of that statement. She better stop making stupid statements on a social network that was created by an atheist then.
I quess she could say this without cringing. It is partly true, humans did make up the procedure, did build the tools and equipment, did run the experiments, tabulate the results, interprite, build theories, create mathematical models, test hypothsis, etc. But if there was no reliable or consistant 'reality' to extract insights from it would have all come to 'a pile of worthless crap'. If the results showed nothing more than scattergrams of no correlatons, or no underlying patterns, theism might have been safe. Sadly, for them this did not happen.
Her belly aching seems to be more likely about 'learning something'. A 'creative' writing class might have been a better choice!
This wasn't photoshopped was it.....
Hypocrisy really is a way of life for these people. I wonder who thought up the name God hmmm?
Wait a sec - devil worshipers' [sic] believe in science?
It totally is. It's hard to believe in someone we haven't seen is hard.
Yep. Idiotocracy at work.
<smacks forehead>
Everybody!? Stop the planet..... I'm getting off.

Artist: DJ Quik f/ Wanya Morris
Album: Under Tha Influence
Song: 50 Ways
--- testo preso da www.ohhla.com
--- tradotto da Penny Law (WestCoastaNostra.cjb.net)
--- per www.THHT.cjb.net
[DJ Quik]
Why you keep givin me cards I can't keep?
I throw these two back, you throw me two more, they're so cheap
I couldn't get the winning hand that I wanted in my sleep
Cause when the dream get good, I get trampled by sheep
Nightmares, even when I'm walkin in day
I'm havin dreams that I'm runnin but there's smoke in the way
And there's this man in a suit, he take a toke and he say,
"You have a promise that you made and you broke it today."
Now which part of this movie here did I just miss?
Did I really sell my soul to this big red bitch?
I don't think what you got to offer is really enough
For cars sex and houses, money and stuff
I'd rather be broke and own nothin but piece of mind
and a Benz, and a house, and a nine-deuce-nine
on top, help me out before I sink the boat
There's gotta be more than 50 ways to keep afloat
Cause I feel like I'm suffocatin, I can't breathe
I wanna go, but I'm too afraid to leave
Take me with you Mausie, I know you're seein somethin grand
as you fade away, and you gently release my hand
And it shook my balance, cause you ain't no more alive
You think I'd see you, if I chewed this 45?
Oh I'd be the first person poppin three, droppin me
to the abyss, but I miss, what's stoppin me?
I got the pressures of the WORLD on my little back
My nerves are turnin into jelly and I'm bout to crack
You think I'm cheatin on my homies, by holdin back?
No I really protect them all because the truth is wack
Forever bars and forever scars
Bein trapped and dyin young makes forever stars
Tell me why am I so hesitant?
And the way life's goin, looks like when hell comes, I'ma be a resident
[Chorus 2X: Wanya Morris]
La, la la-la - la, la la-la
La, la la-la - la, la la-la
[DJ Quik]
They tell me Quik, suck it up, I'm supposed to
But me and Mausberg was closer than most knew
It ain't dramatized, and it ain't a fuckin act
when you're traumatized, and it ain't no turnin back
When you're so connected, and it's hard to keep your focus
When you're so affected, and it's hard to love again
When you're so neglected - suck it up, I'm 'posed to
That ain't easy for somebody you're close to, shit
See your homey in a coffin is so wicked and vivid
It's gon' be harder on all of us, cause we gon' relive it
Over and over, drunk or sober, from October to October
I steadily feel like I'm gettin knocked over
And all the money in the world, don't make it better
And a whole bottle of alcohol, don't make it wetter
With a blur and a slur I'm still callin ya name
And on top of this drama you add fame? Wild
But when you start to bubble then your friends they spite you
And if you go to church, then hip-hop won't like you
I feel like a giant on a worldwide stage
but at the same time trapped in a real tight cage
With no way out, I play out, then I come back
Cause there's an unwritten law that says I can't be wack
So I put on my game face, go back to the same place
Only to realize that y'all ain't got the same taste
Even with somethin new, they look at you cold
And without a hot face, consider you old
And leavin me stressed and broken-hearted
How could I be finished with West coast rap? I helped start it!

CHECK OUR WEB PAGE FOR SESSION DETAILS... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Call For Papers, Abstracts and Demonstrations ^ v ^ for the v ^ v ^ Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing v ^ v ^ Kapalua, Maui (Hawaii) - January 4-9, 1998 v ^ v URL: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The third Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB), will be held January 4-9, 1998 in Maui, Hawaii. PSB will bring together top researchers from North America, the Asian Pacific nations, Europe and around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. PSB will provide a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling and other computational methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology. PSB intends to attract a balanced combination of computer scientists and biologists, presenting significant original research, demonstrating computer systems, and facilitating formal and informal discussions on topics of importance to computational biology. To provide focus for the very broad area of biological computing, PSB is organized into a series of specific sessions. Each session will involve both formal research presentations and open discussion groups. The 1998 PSB sessions are: * Gene Expression and Genetic Networks * Molecules to Maps: Tools for Visualization & Interaction * Gene Structure Identification in Large-scale Genomic Sequence * Molecular Modeling in Drug Design and Biotechnology * Protein Structure Prediction * The Relationship Between Protein Structure and Function * Computing with Biomolecules * Complexity and Information Theoretic Approaches to Biology * Distributed and Intelligent Databases * Building Bioinformation Infrastructure in the Pacific Rim Further details on each session can be found below. The core of the conference consists of rigorously peer-reviewed full-length papers reporting on original work. Accepted papers will be published in a hard-bound archival proceedings, and the best of these will be presented orally to the entire conference. Researchers wishing to present their research without official publication are encouraged to submit a one page abstract, and present their work in discussion, poster and demonstration sessions. Important dates: Paper submissions due: July 14, 1997 Notification of paper acceptance: August 22, 1997 Final paper deadline September 22, 1997 Abstract deadline October 1, 1997 Meeting January 4-9, 1998 Paper format: Papers may be up to 12 single spaced pages, and *must* use our supplied format, available from ftp://ftp-smi.stanford.edu/pub/altman/psb. Each paper must be accompanied by a cover letter stating that it contains original unpublished results not currently under consideration elsewhere and that all co-authors concur with its contents. Please indicate in your cover letter for which specific session (if any) you wish your paper or abstract to be considered. Papers and abstracts may be submitted electronically. Contact Russ Altman (russ.altman at stanford.edu) for additional information. Paper submission address: For physical submission, please send five copies of your paper to: PSB-98 c/o Russ B.

ESPN's Monday Night Football Doubleheader to finish Week 1 of the NFL season is always an interesting point of discussion because of who ESPN chooses to be their "second" MNF announcing team. For whatever reason, that second team falls under intense scrutiny – perhaps it's because the second half of the MNF doubleheader will be the only NFL game they call all season long. Perhaps it's also because we were fed Mike & Mike as an NFL broadcast team on multiple occasions and deserve better. And even with a record setting night all over MNF (Brady's 500+ yards, a 99 yard TD, 63 yard FG, and an all-time great instance of casual swearing), that second announce team was all the rage on Twitter.
More specifically, Trent Dilfer fell under the spotlight with his first swing as an NFL game analyst, trending throughout the evening. Brad Nessler is a pro and can do the job, but what about Dilfer? Dilfer has been consistently moving up the food chain of NFL analysts at ESPN and was given Broncos/Raiders as another chance to shine. Is he fit to be a primetime analyst… or should he continue to backslap Colin Cowherd while only acting like the smartest guy in the room? The Twitterverse was mixed, with most arguing for the latter. As always, these are Real Tweets from Real People…
nickMAMBA I thought Trent Dilfer was actually good in the booth tonight. He knows what he's talking about and he's smooth. I'd like to see him again..
DouglasWilder Good game, awful broadcast, TrentDilfer is da absolute worst!

brianedouglas I thought Trent Dilfer did a really nice job in the MNF booth last night. He offered some good insights into the game.
dtybur Was it just me, or was Trent Dilfer beyond annoying tonight? He never stopped talking and over analyzed everything!
JtheBruce Trent Dilfer knows what really happened in Roswell, New Mexico #dilferknowseverything
MarkSchwab Trent Dilfer was really good in the booth on MNF. If ya missed it, ya missed a good one. He could do that every week.
MerltheAlien The only thing I could tell myself that entire game listening to Trent Dilfer was, at least it's not Joe Buck.
zachattack1942 I hope Trent Dilfer never does commentary again. My God that was terrible. And the yelling. Why did he have to yell???

What say you? Are you a Dilfermaniac or do you want him to just go away so you don't have to be subject to him talking and yelling so much?

In recent weeks, I've received several compliments that by focusing on character, this blog brings out the "deeper" and "advanced" aspects of Karate. While I am very honored, it made me think: is the subject of character "deeper" and "advanced?"
None of my sensei ever taught character issues separately from the physical aspects of Karate training. Character was neither deeper nor shallow, advanced nor basic. Character was first, second and third, taught at all levels, all the time. It is like the saying about the ocean -- it is salty everywhere. See: On Effort, A Good Heart, Humility & Ego, Being Considerate, Like a Rice Plant, Proper Bowing, and False Courtesy.
In the same way, character development is an essential, all present, and inseparable aspect of Karate. Without it, Karate is nothing more than an athletic activity -- but one in which the participants learn a potentially dangerous skill. Only a student who is sincerely working on character development (for his or her entire lifetime) can be trusted and entrusted to use the destructive aspects of Karate as a last resort only. See: Last Resort.
Advancement in Karate is often measured by more advanced kata and more complicated and demanding techniques. Ranks and titles come along with advancement, as does increased responsibility in the dojo. But a truer measure of advancement is how one conducts himself in daily life -- every day, every minute of every day. Standing on a dais with Karate dignitaries is not the measure of advancement, nor is the color of ones belt, be it white, black or even red. See: Ratty Belts, and Ratty Belts 2.
A truer measure of your advancement is how you act the next time your child does something that could anger you -- will you blow up or remain calm? Will you be aware at that moment? Will you be aware that you are being aware?
How will you act during an emergency? In Hawaii we face the risk of hurricanes. How will you act when the next one hits? Will you be calm and focused on protecting life and property?
The next time you win an award -- any award -- will you bathe in the glory or rededicate yourself to the pursuit of excellence?
Somehow punch, kick, block and strike seem less important than these questions. But it is exactly because of the physical and mental discipline of punch, kick, block, strike, and the myriad techniques that comprise Karate that you will have the self-discipline and strength of character to face these and other challenges. Character development is not a mental exercise alone. Your character is cooked in the oven of Karate.
Character is not advanced. Character is not deep. It is first, last and in between -- gedan, chudan, and jodan -- omote and ura.
Charles C. Goodin
Character 1, 2, 3

EC: Pluto D45 Safety PLC
Pluto is an "all-supervisor" system in which the inputs and other information are shared via the databus, providing simplified design and the highest level of safety. The key difference between Pluto and conventional safety PLCs is that there is no "supervisor-subordinate" relationship between the units connected to the safety bus. Each Pluto is a "supervisor" unit and can see the other Pluto's inputs and outputs. Several safety sensors can be connected to one input while still achieving the highest level of safety. The flexible, scalable and modular design allows the system designer many options when designing safety systems. Pluto has inputs for all safety devices on the market, and the Pluto Manager software selects how each input shall respond.
The Pluto D45 Safety PLC provides more ease of use functionality than other models available on the market. With software included, and a hot back-up feature that allows users to reprogram the unit and get a machine up and running with just a screw driver and a pen. The D45 has 39 safe inputs which can handle 380 devices (10 per point) and 6 Cat 4/PLe stop conditions allowing users to do much more with far less. The Pluto Pluto D45 is equipped with 8, safe 4-20 mA/0-10 V analog inputs. These (IA0–IA7) can be configured as either "ordinary" failsafe inputs, or analog inputs 0-10 V/4-20 mA. Inputs IA0–IA3 can be configured as counter inputs (pulse counting), which work for frequencies up to 10,000 Hz. As counter inputs IA0–IA3 can be used in two ways, up counting or up/down counting. In addition to railroad crossings, Pluto PLCs also have been used for many unique applications like winch control for the acrobats in Cirque du Soleil and for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics.

You may or may not have heard about a relatively new search engine named Blekko – and fortunately it doesn't matter hugely in the context of this post. If you're interested in playing around with data and search, then it's definitely worth checking out, but the important thing for this article is in the picture:
It's a picture of a T-Shirt sent to me by Blekko. I can't remember where I first saw their offer mentioned (Possibly Reddit), but if you emailed them via an address listed on their blog, they offered to send a T-Shirt and a cool little trading cards booklet which I can't find to photograph right now. And shortly afterwards, they created Blekkogear, which continues to offer shirts and trading cards to anyone that emails them.
How lovely and fluffy right?
Isn't that lovely? A nice free T-shirt – and they're one of those rare companies that actually sends things outside of the U.S as well! But it's not really marketing is it – it's not like a homepage advert on a big website or investing thousands in a PPC campaign.
Wait a minute – there's ROI here:
Now the team at Blekko might just think it's a nice thing to send out shirts, or they might be doing it because they realise there's a lot of value in it – or it might be a mixture of the two. Either way, it's worth considering what costs and returns they might be getting. In terms of costs, the T-shirt design may have been an internal thing, or it might have cost them some cash, say $500 for the sake of this exercise. And each T-shirt with the image would be say, $20 on average using print-on-demand to avoid overstock, with say $10 for shipping each time (I have no idea of postage costs in the U.S, but in the UK, I'd guess it'd be probably £2 for a domestic parcel).
And let's imagine that as Blekko, the Blekko blog, and the places it was shared are quite techy, they get 200 people enquiring about a shirt.
So that's:
- Design: $500
- Shirts: $4000
- Shipping: $2000
Total spend $6500.
That seems like a lot of dough for 200 T-shirts doesn't it?
But wait a second…
They've let the offer percolate amongst a techy crowd, which is exactly the core market for Blekko – if it's going to go mainstream, it's most likely going to do it with the earlier adopters actively advocating and teaching others about it, as it will have to battle some change intertia to move people away from Google or even Bing, which have a 'traditional' search engine and also lots of brand recognition/advertising budget.
Say 25% of the T-shirt recipients are like me and have a blog. They're not necessarily A-list bloggers, and they're chuffed enough to post an article with a link to Blekko and Blekko gear. That's 50 blog posts, and links – depending on the site, paid links can be somewhere between $50 and $200 judging by the going rate on various sponsored post and linkbuying services and the enquiries I regular see being pitched to a variety of bloggers (And in sponsored posts etc, those links are meant to be 'nofollowed' – the voluntary ones to Blekko are 'Dofollowed', which is handy). So that's potentially about $10,000 worth of links.
I'm not a heavyweight tech blogger, and tend to be somewhere above average on most of the ranking services I'm registered on – e.g. AdAge, Technorati, Wikio, PostRank etc, etc. So knocking a little off my average article views, you're probably looking at circa 10,000 page views targetted at the tech/marketing audience Blekko want to reach. Put that at a CPM of say $10, and that's another $100, before we look at how the offer has spread via social networks, social sharing sites, and other word-of-mouth routes.
Then there's the offline impact. I hang out with a lot of people involved in digital businesses, and I'm quite likely to be wearing the Blekko shirt on some of those occasions – if people haven't heard of the name, like any normal geek, they'll ask about it, and not only see the name, but get my quick take on what it is and does. And odds are, they'll decide not to just take my word for it and have a look themselves. Coincidentally, the T-Shirt has arrived just before the Digital People in Peterborough Curry Night, so that's 16-20 geeks.
And then there's the fact that although I've heard the name and taken a quick look at some reviews of Blekko (and spend a quick bit of time playing), I still ahven't really sat down and worked out exactly what it could do for me. But having received the T-shirt, I may not consciously think of it as a bribe, but it's made me think nicely of the company, and every time I see it, I've got a visual reminder that I saved a load of Blekko information and intended to sit down and work through how I could utilise it effectively. With limited time in the day and countless startups appearing in my RSS feed that get filed for the mythical 'when I get some spare time', that visual reminder makes all the difference. I don't know what the lifetime value is of a new user for Blekko, but say it's $20. Out of the initial 200 T-shirts, they're likely to convest a fair amount – say 20%, or 40 people. And from online and offline interactions, those people will probably spread the word to say 100 people (Average number of Facebook friends is 150 as an example). That's 4000 additional people, and if 5% like Blekko, that's another 200. Without going to the next degree of Kevin Bacon, we'll say that's 240 new users with a lifetime value of $4800.
So quick maths time:
Remember the costs?
- Design: $500
- Shirts: $4000
- Shipping: $2000
- Total spend $6500.
And the benefits?
- Linkbuilding: $10,000.
- Equivalent CPM ads: $100
- User lifetime value: $4800
- Offline recommendations: How much would you value someone's friend recommending your product?
- Total: $14,900.
$8400 of benefits already, so why aren't more companies doing it?
Really rough calculations without getting into Blekko's business model, accurately looking at social media sharing and recommendation values etc, but you probably get the message, and I save the calculations to decimal places for paying clients… But that not only leaves the question of why more companies don't allow for offers like this, and limit their giveaways to conferences, trade shows or to members of the traditional press (Conference freebies end up as noise unless they're really special – and traditional mainstream press still appreciate free schwag but are a bit more jaded than most people).
Even worse – how have I managed to work with a load of brands that have somewhat iconic status amongst their fans, to the point where fans are potentially willing to pay to advertise that company, and yet the opportunity isn't taken because no-one ever gets around to it? And that's ignoring the concerns about the brand identity, and what happens in someone undesirable wears our logo etc.
If you're trying to be ultra-exclusive and maintain your desirability that way, then you might not want to be letting just anyone into your branded shirts or other merchandise. But even then, letting the availability spread via word-of-mouth means you get that same benefit until such a time as your making enough mainstream cash not to care.
And I'm not suggesting you should stop all your other branding, marketing and advertising and bung it all into T-shirts, but when you're spreading your budget between SEO, Social Media, Display etc, it's worth allocating some to something which might serve as a social object if you're lucky.
And the best bit of this whole argument?
If it works, I'm hoping I can renew my wardrobe… And the last time I got a free shirt and modelled it (SocialMedian back in January 2009), it roughly coincided with the company being acquired for $7.5 million. It's the T-shirts that did it…

No. 83,928
ALVIN BECKER and DEBI BECKER,
Husband and Wife,
Proposed Intervenor/Appellant.
1. The automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code are discussed and applied.
2. Parties pursuing a civil action against a debtor who has filed for bankruptcy are required to obtain relief from the automatic bankruptcy stay in order to proceed in the civil proceeding and obtain a default judgment against the debtor.
3. The real party in interest rules, as applied in cases involving insureds and insurance carriers with subrogation rights, are discussed.
4. While an insurance carrier with subrogation rights is a real party in interest and may seek relief from a bankruptcy stay to pursue its subrogation rights, any relief from the stay obtained by the insurance carrier does not extend to the insured's separate claims against the debtor. Therefore, under the facts of this case, a default judgment obtained by the insureds against the debtor was void when the only party obtaining relief from the bankruptcy stay was the insurance carrier, who was not a named party in the underlying litigation.
5. When seeking to intervene in a civil action pursuant to K.S.A. 60-224(a), the applicant must establish (1) a timely application to intervene was made, (2) the applicant has a substantial interest in the subject matter of the litigation, and (3) the applicant's interests are not adequately represented in the case.
6. Under the facts of this case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a motion to intervene filed 2 years after the validity of a default judgment is challenged.
Appeal from Osborne District Court; CHARLES E. WORDEN, judge. Opinion filed February 23, 2001. Affirmed.
Guy R. Steier, of Frasier & Steier, of Beloit, and Darcy D. Williamson, of Topeka, for appellants.
J. Franklin Hummer, of Davis, Unrein, Hummer, McAllister, Biggs & Head, L.L.P., of Topeka, for appellee.
Before GREEN, P.J., GERNON, J., and PHILIP C. VIEUX, District Judge, assigned.
GERNON, J.: This appeal concerns a summary judgment ruling in favor of Old Republic Insurance Co. (Old Republic), a question as to the effect of failure of the plaintiffs to obtain relief from an automatic stay in the bankruptcy of one of the defendants, and whether Union Insurance Company (Union) should have been allowed to intervene. Alvin and Debi Becker are the appellants.
The facts are complex but will be condensed as much as possible.
Alvin and Debi Becker owned Becker's Body Shop. Union was their insurer. Ralph Becker is Alvin's father. Ralph was insured by Old Republic.
Ralph was doing some work on his truck behind the body shop with a welder and started a fire. The body shop was destroyed in the fire.
Union paid Alvin and Debi a portion of the damages and filed a subrogation claim for the amount of that payment with Old Republic. Old Republic notified Alvin, Debi, and Union that Ralph's automobile policy did not cover the damage to the body shop. Alvin and Debi then filed suit against Ralph, and Ralph filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Alvin and Debi received notice of the bankruptcy petition but failed to file a claim or hire an attorney to represent them in the bankruptcy action. Alvin and Debi did not enter an appearance in the bankruptcy action, did not file any documents in their names in the action, and did not have an attorney do so on their behalf. Union applied for and obtained an order for relief from the automatic stay provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 362 (1988) to proceed with its subrogation claim against Ralph and his insurer. Alvin and Debi did not file a motion for relief from the automatic stay with the bankruptcy court.
Ralph's bankruptcy discharge hearing took place on April 15, 1988, still with no appearance or request for a stay by Alvin and Debi. Two weeks after the discharge hearing, Alvin and Debi filed a default motion in the district court case.
A default judgment in the amount of $171,918.95 plus interest was entered against Ralph in the district court case on May 13, 1988, which included Union's subrogation claim of $90,132.50. At the hearing on the default judgment, Alvin and Debi advised the court of the status of the bankruptcy and that personal recovery was not being sought against Ralph but rather against Old Republic. Ralph was granted final discharge from the bankruptcy court on May 16, 1988.
A garnishment request was filed against Old Republic. Old Republic moved for summary judgment, arguing that the judgment was void because it violated the automatic stay provisions of the United States bankruptcy code, 11 U.S.C. § 362. Alvin and Debi filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied. They then filed a motion to alter or amend. Union then sought to intervene.
All of the above events took place between October 5, 1985, the date of the fire, and August 1990.
Six years later, on June 28, 1996, the district court denied Alvin and Debi's and Union's motions. The court again found the underlying judgment was void because Alvin and Debi had not filed for relief from the automatic stay. In denying Union's motion to intervene, the court found the statute of limitations had expired for any claims Union may have raised.
Alvin and Debi and Union appealed the decision to this court, and this court dismissed the appeal because the record did not reflect an order granting summary judgment to Old Republic. Becker v. Becker, case No. 77,171, unpublished opinion filed July 17, 1998.
The district court, in August 1999, filed a journal entry granting Old Republic's motion for summary judgment.
Alvin and Debi then filed for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy trustee and Union jointly appeal the trial court's rulings adverse to their respective interests.
The automatic stay provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 362 provided, in relevant part:
"(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, a petition filed under section 301, 302, or 303 of this title, or an application filed under section 5(a)(3) of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (15 U.S.C. 78eee[a][3]), operates as a stay, applicable to all entities, of--
(1) the commencement or continuation, including the issuance or employment of process, of a judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding against the debtor that was or could have been commenced before the commencement of the case under this title, or to recover a claim against the debtor that arose before the commencement of the case under this title;
(2) the enforcement, against the debtor or against property of the estate, of a judgment obtained before the commencement of the case under this title;
. . . .
"(c) Except as provided in subsections (d), (e), and (f) of this section--
. . .
(2) the stay of any other act under subsection (a) of this section continues until the earliest of--
(A) the time the case is closed;
(B) the time the case is dismissed; or
(C) if the case is a case under chapter 7 of this title concerning an individual or a case under chapter 9, 11, 12, or 13 of this title, the time a discharge is granted or denied."
Alvin and Debi first argue that they were not required to obtain relief from the automatic stay in bankruptcy court in order to proceed with their motion for default judgment against Ralph in state court, and that the trial court erred in finding the May 1988 default judgment against Ralph void based on United Northwest Fed'l Credit Union v. Arens, 233 Kan. 514, 664 P.2d 811 (1983).
In United Northwest, the Arens filed a Chapter 7 petition in bankruptcy on September 8, 1980, and the credit union filed a petition for recovery of money advanced pursuant to its open-ended loan agreement to purchase a mobile home the next day, September 9, 1980. The credit union received notice of the bankruptcy September 10, and the bankruptcy petition was subsequently dismissed on May 4, 1981, for failure of the debtors to appear. A default judgment was entered in favor of the credit union on May 11, set aside on May 15, and reinstated on January 4, 1982. The Arens challenged the entry of default judgment entered in favor of the credit union as violating the automatic stay provision of § 362(a). On appeal, the Kansas Supreme Court held:
"The import of section 362(a)(1) is that all legal actions pending or to be taken against the debtor are halted. As such, no new lawsuit can be commenced. [Citation omitted.] The filing of appellee's foreclosure action on September 9, 1980, was thus in violation of the automatic stay. It is settled that acts done in violation of the stay are 'void and without effect.' [Citation omitted.]" 233 Kan. at 516.
Thus, the court held the filing of the foreclosure action was void, and the trial court was without jurisdiction to enter a default judgment. 233 Kan. at 516.
Cases cited by Alvin and Debi do not hold that a plaintiff does not have to get relief from the automatic stay in order to proceed against a debtor and his or her insurance company before a discharge. Here, the § 362(a) automatic stay was still in effect when the default judgment was entered against Ralph on May 13, 1988, as the discharge was not filed until May 16, 1988. In order to proceed with their suit before the bankruptcy case was closed, dismissed, or the debtor discharged, Alvin and Debi were required to request relief from the stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d). 11 U.S.C. § 362(b) lists those situations when the automatic stay does not apply, and none of those exceptions allows a creditor to proceed against a debtor for the purpose of establishing secondary liability against a debtor's insurer. Alvin and Debi's claim does not fall under any of these exceptions.
Alvin and Debi were required to seek relief from the automatic stay before proceeding with the default judgment against Ralph. They never requested such relief or filed an appearance in the bankruptcy action. The cases relied upon by Alvin and Debi are not controlling of this issue because the judgment was entered before the discharge. This argument fails.
Alvin and Debi next argue that even if this court concludes the pending action was subject to the automatic stay provisions of the bankruptcy, they were entitled to proceed with the action in their name because Union properly obtained relief from the stay. Alvin and Debi provide no authority which holds that if a creditor's insurer, who is not a party to the creditor's lawsuit, has a subrogation claim and obtains relief from the automatic stay, the creditor does not have to obtain the same relief in his or her own name. Rather, Alvin and Debi raise the issue of "party in interest" and "real party in interest" to argue that Union properly obtained relief as a "party in interest," which should have enabled the state litigation to continue. Alvin and Debi contend that to have required them to obtain additional relief from the bankruptcy court in their name would have been a formality. However, this argument appears to support the trial court's finding that the default judgment entered on May 13, 1988, was void.
11 U.S.C. § 362(d) provides, in relevant part: "On request of a party in interest and after notice and a hearing, the court shall grant relief from the stay provided under subsection (a) of this section, such as by terminating, annulling, modifying, or conditioning such stay . . . ." (Emphasis added.) K.S.A. 60-217(a) provides, in relevant part: "Every action shall be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest." A distinction exists between these two phrases, as a "real party in interest" is the proper party to bring the lawsuit. This court defined a "real party in interest" in Thompson v. James, 3 Kan. App. 2d 499, 502, 597 P.2d 259, rev. denied 226 Kan. 793 (1979):
"The real party in interest is the person who possesses the right sought to be enforced, and is not necessarily the person who ultimately benefits from the recovery. [Citation omitted.] The real party in interest requirement has as one of its main purposes 'the protection of the defendant from being repeatedly harassed by a multiplicity of suits from the same cause of action so that if a judgment be obtained it is a full, final and conclusive adjudication of the rights in controversy that may be pleaded in bar to any further suit instituted by any other party.' [Citation omitted.]"
This court also cited Thompson's discussion of a "real party in interest" in a more recent case, Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Maryland v. Shawnee State Bank, 13 Kan. App. 2d 182, 184-85, 766 P.2d 191 (1988), rev. denied 244 Kan. 737 (1989):
"'When a loss is covered but partially by insurance, the insured is the proper party under this statute to bring suit for the entire loss. The insured will then hold in trust for the insurer such part of the recovery as the insurer has paid. [Citations omitted.]
"'When such loss is fully covered and paid the rule is otherwise, provided the policy of insurance contains a subrogation clause whereby the insurer succeeds to rights of the insured.
"'When a loss is fully paid by an insurer and the insurer becomes subrogated to all rights of the insured, the right of action against the wrongdoer vests wholly in the insurer. In such case the insurer becomes the real party in interest and must undertake the maintenance of the action for reimbursement. [Citations omitted.]'
"In the partial payment situation, both the insurer and the insured are considered to be real parties in interest. However, the insured is the proper party to bring the action because he suffered the entire loss in the first instance, while the insurer could not establish a claim beyond the amount for which it was liable under the policy."
Also necessary to this analysis is the text of the bankruptcy court order granting Union the right to proceed with that claim:
"For good cause shown, Union Insurance Company should be, and is hereby granted Relief from the Automatic Stay in order to proceed with a subrogation claim against Debtor, in rem, and his insuror and that case which is currently pending in [Osborne] County District Court Case 87-C-57, or to take such other and further action as may be necessary for Union Insurance Company to enforce its rights under applicable Insurance and Contract law."
Clearly in this case, Union was a party in interest because it had a valid subrogation claim against Ralph for the claim it had paid to its insureds, Alvin and Debi. The bankruptcy court was within its power to grant the order of relief to Union. However, the order specifically grants Union the right to proceed with its subrogation claim in Alvin and Debi's negligence lawsuit against Ralph. It is uncontroverted that Union's subrogation claim was only for $90,132.50, and Alvin and Debi sought and obtained a default judgment for $171,918.95. Alvin and Debi were clearly seeking more than the claims paid by Union. Under Fidelity and Thompson, this was a partial payment situation, and both parties were a "real party in interest." However, Alvin and Debi were the proper party to bring the action because they suffered the entire $171,918.95 loss initially, and Union could not establish a claim beyond the $90,132.50 subrogation claim amount. Union would only be entitled to bring the action if Alvin and Debi refused to allow their names to be used, which is clearly not the case in this situation.
The trial court denied Union's motion to intervene.
Our standard of review on a denial of a motion to intervene is abuse of discretion. Herrmann v. Board of Butler County Comm'rs, 246 Kan. 152, 155, 785 P.2d 1003 (1990). "Judicial discretion is abused when judicial action is arbitrary, fanciful, or unreasonable, which is another way of saying that discretion is abused only when no reasonable person would take the view adopted by the trial court." State v. Davidson, 264 Kan. 44, 56, 954 P.2d 702 (1998).
Union argues that the action was properly commenced in the names of Alvin and Debi, as this was a partial loss situation and Union had no reason to seek formal intervention until the district court set aside the May 13, 1988, judgment as void in July 1990. Thus, Union argues it should have been allowed to intervene under K.S.A. 60-224(a).
K.S.A. 60-224(a) provides:
"Upon timely application anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action: (1) When a statute confers an unconditional right to intervene; or (2) when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and he is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical matter substantially impair or impede his ability to protect that interest, unless the applicant's interest is adequately represented by existing parties."
The Kansas Supreme Court has interpreted this section of the statute to require the occurrence of three factors: "(1) timely application; (2) substantial interest in the subject matter; and (3) inadequate representation of the applicant-intervenor's interest." Herrmann, 246 Kan. at 155.
The trial court denied the motion because the statute of limitations had run on Union's claim. The record reveals the trial court could have denied the motion based on its untimeliness. Union could have intervened in 1988 when it became clear the judgment was being challenged; however, it chose to wait 2 years when the judgment was set aside as void. At that point, it was clear that Union and Alvin and Debi had differing interests, but Union could have avoided this situation by intervening in the suit in 1988. Union essentially wanted to relitigate the default judgment by becoming a named party and arguing the subrogation portion of the judgment was proper. Thus, an alternative basis existed for denying the motion.
We find no reversible error in the trial court's ruling on the motion to intervene.
Alvin and Debi argue that their motion for summary judgment should have been granted. They argue about several defenses that Old Republic had raised in its response which were never ruled on by the trial court.
However, the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Old Republic for the sole reason that there is no valid underlying judgment to support the garnishment. As the judgment was void, Alvin and Debi had no valid judgment upon which to base a garnishment against Old Republic. The trial court properly entered summary judgment in favor of Old Republic, and this court need not consider Alvin and Debi's arguments in support of their motion for summary judgment because they are moot.

so yeah they finally proved to themselves that Honoka-chan is the leader/center which is as it should be, all is right in their world ^^. pretty nice episode & funny, going full circle from doubting/questioning Honoka's creds as the leader but in the end everyone fully recognizing and accepting Honoka, not just because she started it or is a sempai, but because she really do fit the role& thereby strengthening their bonds together. Made me grimace a bit when Nico was listing what's needed for a leader & center.... felt like shouting to them "Hey! that's Honoka right there, so what's the problem??" but yeah I guess it was all for the better for them to learn for themselves.
Best part is Honoka doesn't even know it, or rather she has no Air about it, wouldn't really care to put her self "above" the others, but like a true leader is more concerned with others.

Nico's enjoyable for me precisely because nobody's really taking her seriously. The Nero vibes are strong here, and that's a good thing. Most of the episode was just them funning around, but I really liked the Alice in Wonderland theming for the music video (again, wonderful animation. The cel-shaded CGI is barely noticeable), and the pseudo-documentary style at the beginning. When Nico started talking about the "aura" of idols, the only thing that came to mind were Kirara. I can see Nico having a little black/purpleish one with two protrusions that look like pigtails. I am curious what will finally convince Eri to join, because it looks like her barrier's almost been broken through.

I've been pretty lukewarm on Nico for the most part, but sweet jesus, I died laughing when she spontaneously constructed a new false persona to stand in as a "real" persona that contrasts her "idol" persona in the way that she believes is most appealing. The effort that she puts into feigning effortless talent is exhausting to watch.

At this point I'm better inclined to believe that Nico is more suited to be an actress than an idol. Not that she can't be both.

Alternately, of course, it could just be that it's meant to come off comical because she can be so transparently phony and/or trying too hard, but I thought maybe there might be more to it than that, since she's a connoisseur of idols going back some years.

after seeing the episode (in vostfr) good Minalinsky I confirm that this is Kotori and Eri has a talent for singing and music (and I think it is safe) or words to that Nozomi there only Eri who can help then that Eri was or was not a "school idol" I think not she just talent that's all.

Nico is amazing in many ways . Hilarious watching her throw out those personalities. Really can change gears in a hurry. Long term might really be suitable to acting as a main profession. Can just fling herself into a role. Funny enough that all her plotting just made her barely able to keep up. At least has found a group that can push her to improve.
Just about ready to lure in the Student Council President. The next crisis should be what tips the scales in that respect.

But what really gets me every time is the animation. The skipping movement at the beginning of the OP is just marvelous. And there were plenty of fascinating movements in the late insert song/dance: fingers, legs, etc. Nishida Asako and Sunrise animators seem to be a match made in heaven.

After this episode I think Nico may be my favourite. The scheming, the not quite wanting to say "me me me, I should be the leader" but just plotting to make it happen (and having the plots backfire), and the faces she makes. Quite wonderful. Where DID she get that megaphone from?
Loved the big musical number too.
It is just such a FUN show, all round.
