Cell division for sex-cells. Sex Cells: Are also called Gametes. You know them as SPERM and EGG cells
2 divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis Starting with ONE (diploid) cell, II ending with FOUR (haploid) cells.
Interphase: Chromosomes duplicate and build up energy for meiosis
Meiosis I Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Meiosis II Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II
Prophase I- chromosome becomes visible and the nuclear membrane disappears; homologous chromosome appears and share fragments called crossing over
Meiosis I Metaphase I - complete disappearance of nuclear membrane and appearance of spindle fiber; centromeres attached to the spindle fiber and lies on the metaphase plate.
Meiosis I Anaphase I homologous chromosome separates from each other but centromere do not divide; chromosome continues to consists of two chromatids
Meiosis I Telophase I chromosomes are still doubled; nuclear membrane is formed and disappearance of spindle fiber
cells have one chromosome
Meiosis II Metaphase II chromosomes align at the metaphase plate; centromeres divide thus separating the chromatids
Meiosis II Anaphase II each new daughter cell move towards opposite poles
Meiosis II Telophase II spindle disappears; nuclear membrane is formed; nuclei are formed and cytokinesis happens
Mitosis makes cells for growth, development, repair, and is a form of asexual reproduction Meiosis makes gametes for sexual reproduction
Mitosis produces two cells identical to the parent cell (diploid called daughter cells) Meiosis produces four cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent (haploid)
In the first cell division, CHROMOSOME PAIRS (HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES) are separated. In the second cell division, SISTER CHROMATIDS are pulled apart.
In meiosis, "crossing over" occurs during prophase I. Chromosomes form tetrads Homologous chromosomes "swap" parts of their DNA leads to recombination, or genetic variation

Another contender for the top spot at the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has emerged of late: Child Welfare League of America's Director of Juvenile Justice-Child Welfare, John Tuell.
Tuell was in juvenile probation for the State of Virginia, then worked for former OJJDP Administrator Shay Bilchik, and in 2003 rejoined Bilchik at CWLA. At OJJDP, he was in charge of state relations, assisting states and monitoring their progress on the four core requirements of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
That division also handled the Juvenile Accountability Block Grants and OJJDP's comprehensive strategy on serious, violent and chronic juvenile offenders, which was launched in 1995.
"He has a nice background," says one former colleague at OJJDP. "A lot of things that would serve that office well."
Another disagrees. "He does not have my vote," the former staffer said.
Experience with state relations and core requirements are certainly relevant, as reauthorization of the JJDPA heats up and advocates push for better enforcement of the requirements. OJJDP also has an entire child protection division, so Tuell's knowledge on the interplay between child welfare and JJ systems could be a boon there.
From what JJ Today hears, the favorite for the job is still probably the director of D.C.'s Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services, Vinny Schiraldi. His resume includes advocacy work and experience as an administrator. He has the support of a lot of advocates and some formidable former OJJDP staff, and it's not a secret that he wants the job.
But as the field touts Schiraldi's success in moving a historically atrocious system in the right direction, the public in Washington, D.C. has continuously been presented with a different take on his track record on the opinion page of The Washington Post. Columnist Colby King has slammed DYRS for more than year in his weekly, Saturday space. on issues ranging from fudged stats to youths killing and being killed while in DYRS custody (check King's archive page online for all of his columns).
Some of King's columns have been on point, others reflect only his point of view or are based heavily on anecdote. All have been provocative, and the feeling now among many Schiraldi supporters is that he would face tough questions about King's criticisms at any confirmation hearing.
It doesn't help Schiraldi that he was recently taken to task by D.C. Councilman Jim Graham for the case of Lafonte Carlton. Carlton, who was in DYRS custody for 2½ years after killing a man at the age of 15, killed two more people within weeks of being released from a residential treatment facility by DYRS officials. DYRS has basically passed on responding to King's criticisms; Schiraldi has said that the Carlton case was botched by DYRS.
Schiraldi's ascendancy to the administrator's office, says one JJ insider, will happen only if judiciary committee members such as Sens. Arlen Specter (R-Penn.) and Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) can be persuaded that King is not telling the whole story.
If they can't be persuaded, says one Schiraldi supporter, OJJDP will still need a leader who "can stand up and present issues and information" to state leadership. "John [Tuell] has that knowledge."
"Is he as good as Vinny?" the supporter asked. "Probably not. If someone asked me for five other candidates, John would be in that five."
Meanwhile, our colleague at Justice Update, Marion Mattingly, included a long list of OJJDP candidates in the February/March issue. Hers is a list of people who could run OJJDP, not all of whom are necessarily pining for the job.
Aside from the three JJ Today identified in an earlier piece, Mattingly includes:
*Michael Corriero, former judge and current head of Big Brothers Big Sisters New York;
*Tim Decker, director of the Missouri Department of Youth Service (home to the famous "Missouri model";
*Dick Gardell, CEO of St. Paul, Minn.-based 180 Degrees;
*Ned Loughran, director of the Council of Juvenile Correctional Administrators;
*Two Juvenile Law Center execs: Director Bob Schwartz and Legal Director Marsha Levick;
* Michael Nash, presiding judge of the juvenile court for the Los Angeles Superior Court
*Patti Puritz, director of the National Juvenile Defender Center;
*Jane Tewksbury, commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services;
*Laurence Wojcik, a partner at DLA Piper, a law firm that has done pro bono work on juvenile justice projects in Chicago.

Vocal Training for Your Optimum High Mix Voice – You Can Sing Higher
Singing higher is the aspiration of many new singers. If you are having a challenge with your high mix voice and reaching the upper notes, the legendary Brett Manning, along with artist Kelly Goolsby, explain the easiest way to find the right balance for high mix voice so you can hear as well as see the tips in action.
CLICK HERE To Find Your High Voice …
Kelly demonstrates a technique for how he reaches those amazing higher notes without straining while not always vocalizing with falsetto. Here are some highlights of this informative vocal training video…
1. Start Light
Use very low larynx voice for warm-up exercises. Gradually increase to get a little more mix, with a slightly harder edge.
Use the letters B, Bua, Ahh, Maa, Mua, etc. and increase volume and add a little more texture as you go. Or if easier, you can start at the higher singing pitch and then tone the voice down in increments.
2. Find the Right Key
Use a keyboard or other instrument to find the right key for where you'd like to start during the exercise. Then you'll be able to jump from a lower range to a much higher range with little effort.
When trying to reach higher notes without mixing your higher voices – chest and head, your vocal cords might tend to strain and your singing can become disconnected from one note to the next.
Singing Range
The right voice mix gives you the ability to increase range on a variety of songs without putting a strain on the vocal cords.
It can mean the difference between singing a low-key country song to singing a high-pitched rock song, such as "When a Man Loves a Woman!"
Use this quick and easy mixed voice training tip to improve your singing quality; range, and reach the high mix voice you've always dreamed of.
Find other great tips for singers with vocal training lessons online as I add them. Your voice will be much happier!

Here's a chance to buy the KLOM stiff canvas zip-up tool bag. It's the one the KLOM EPG comes in. It measures 20cm long, 13cm wide and 5cm deep. It has a mesh pocket inside and is the perfect solution to protect many lock picking tools. Rather than having tools rattling around in the bottom of your bag or stashed in a shoebox, the KLOM canvas zip-up bag will protect your tools from damage for years to come.
NOTE - This item is just for the CASE there are NO Lock Picks in this case. Nice case though!
So many lock pickers have asked us for empty cases we finally broke and pandered to your wishes. It wasn't that hard really, I have loads of sets of picks whose cases have long split and there always seems to be a half-diamond sticking out ready to scratch along the previous scratch from where it done it last time.

Fleeting Petal Power
But the shy pink and snowy white flakes are already on the wane.
Dusting blankets of confetti beneath trees ...
they land helter-skelter on the grass and pavement ...
dissolving into puddles of April showers.

Oh, so beautiful. And, of course, I love that you've included a Puddle.ReplyDelete
Not quite spring here yet, but it looks like it might happen soon.
Got back today, jet-lagged and exhausted, but Dick found the energy to take Lindy for a nice long walk, and now I hear her snoring from three rooms away!
Luv, K
I read this post last night, but was too tired after our three-day trip to formulate a comment. Today, I spent several hours walking in Stanley Park. It was a beautiful day, and the wind was blowing petals all around. I kept thinking of your beautiful photos, and especially of your reference to "dusting blankets of confetti." I've enjoyed your "food for thought" observations as many blossoms begin to pass their prime. Thanks, Penelope.ReplyDelete
We seem to share the same kind of scenes created by the fallen cherry petals. Cherry blossoms please us from the budding to dying. In Nara Park, deer eat fallen petals.ReplyDelete
It is like a blanket of flowers! Beautiful captures.ReplyDelete

1. Rise (Eve #3) by Anna Carey
Author: Anna Carey
Publisher: HarperTeen
Length: 320 pages
Summary from Goodreads:
How far will you go when you have nothing left to lose?
When she lost her soul mate, Caleb, Eve felt like her world had ended. Trapped in the palace, forced to play the part of the happy, patriotic princess of The New America—and the blushing bride of her father's top adviser—Eve's whole life is a lie. The only thing that keeps her going is Caleb's memory, and the revolution he started.
Now, Eve is taking over where Caleb left off. With the help of Moss, an undercover subversive in the King's court, she plots to take down The New America, beginning with the capital, the City of Sand. Will Eve be able to bring about a new, free world when she's called upon to perform the ultimate act of rebellion—killing her father?
In Rise, Eve must choose who to leave behind, who to save, and who to fight as Anna Carey's epic tale of romance and sacrifice in the chilling dystopia of The New America comes to a stunning conclusion.
Why I want it: I can't wait to read this final installment in the Eve trilogy. The cliffhanger of the previous one was utterly agonizing leaving me with a sense of dread for many characters and feeling sympathetic towards our heroine as she goes into something not for her sake but for those she wishes to protect.
2. The Elite (The Selection #2) by Kiera Cass
Author: Kiera Cass
Publisher: HarperTeen
Length: 336 pages
Summary from Goodreads:
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Selection.
Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.
America still isn't sure where her heart lies. When she's with Maxon, she's swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can't dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.
Just when America is sure she's made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she's struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.
Why I want it: Since the first novel was on my Top 5 of 2012 list it's no wonder that this sequel makes my Most Wanted List for this month. Also, I've heard the author read the first chapter and if it's any indication this book will be as good if not better than the first.
3. Apollyon (Covenant #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Publisher: Spencer Hill Press
Length: 360 pages
Summary from Goodreads:
Fate isn't something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.
Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.
The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex's power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex's connection to Seth isn't the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole "an Apollyon can't be killed" theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.
Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.
Why I want it: While I have yet to read this, apparently, amazing series I've been told how good it is and haven't seen a bad review that holds any merit. As I have just recently bought the first installment as well as the prequel novella I'm sure this will be joining my personal library soon.
4 The Program by Suzanne Young
Author: Suzanne Young
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Length: 416 pages
Summary from Goodreads:
In Sloane's world, true feelings are forbidden, teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Program.
Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane's parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they'll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who's been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but so are their memories.
Under constant surveillance at home and at school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as deep as she can. The only person Sloane can be herself with is James. He's promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. But despite the promises they made to each other, it's getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The Program is coming for them.
Why I want it: I find that a dystopian society that bans emotions due to fear of suicide is very intriguing and compels me to find out more. I love the idea of brainwashing to keep control and the thought of lost memories seems to foreshadow some pretty intense events.
Thus concludes this month's Most Wanted post. What's on your most wanted list? Be sure to leave it in a comment below or if you want to do your own Most Wanted post on your blog feel free and link it in a comment so I can check it out.

Alan Jones
1961 Chemistry and Economics
What I am doing now:
Presently living a contented but reasonably busy life, which follows from being in relatively good health, having a home in good shape (maybe the garden needs a work over), finding happiness in family relationships, living in a safe country, neighbourhood, and a clean environment, possessing a strong sense of belonging within the community; and most importantly having lots of diverse activities. Since the early 1990s my main recreation apart from travel has been painting in oils, including places visited. My first solo exhibition was in July 2010 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. I serve on the management committee of the Artist's Society of Canberra. My paintings are represented in private collections throughout the world.
How did you get to where you are now?
Nil nisi labore. Phase I involved training as a research chemist at Birmingham and Monash University, Australia. The latter is a giveaway for another ongoing interest – travel. At the University of Utah I became a pioneer in the development of carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy. I returned to Australia in 1974 as Head of the proposed National Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Centre at the Australian National University (ANU), the first outside the UK using high-field superconducting magnets. Phase II was dominated by science communication. I took a short break to work as an advisor to Government first on medical imaging and then other emerging technologies. In 1990 I was appointed as Australian Science and Industry Counsellor and Deputy Ambassador to Germany – matchmaking Australian science and industry capabilities with those of Germany ultimately led to an array of bilateral treaties and collaborative ventures. My interests also turned to determining how the national systems of innovation functioned throughout Europe. Phase III commenced when I returned to Australia in mid-1995. I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, and recommenced some activities in the world of chemistry. I was invited to join a team developing an 'Innovation Statement' for Australia, culminating in the Innovation Summit of 2000 and later presentations in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, the Arabian Gulf nations, Singapore and New Zealand. Phase IV: Academe beckoned with appointments to the National Graduate School of Management (ANU), the Innovation Management Centre, University of Queensland and the University of Canberra. I also set up a Consultancy providing for several international bodies and governments. I publish a monthly column on 'Networks' in the magazine 'Chemistry in Australia'.
What has been your biggest achievement so far?
I don't have big achievements I just unashamedly have some minor personal milestones to cherish.
And your biggest mistake?
Perhaps allowing my fundamentally socialist background to come to the fore even in discussions with liberal/conservative politicians.
What are your ambitions now?
To continue to develop my techniques with oils, especially in life drawing and to take on other techniques like pastels and acrylics, but most of all to hold more exhibitions with a view to sales; and to actively think and write.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to work in a similar field?
Keep an open mind in all your endeavours and you will find that all aspects of your training and capabilities can be capitalised upon.
What made you choose Keele University?
The Foundation Year offered the opportunity to explore subjects outside the confines of the old GCE 'meat and two veg', in my case chemistry, physics and maths. I explored economics having had Professor Bruce Williams as my first year tutor – not only was he an excellent mentor, but an Aussie to boot. Little did I know then of the overall influence this would have on me and our future crossing of paths in prescribing "Technologies for the Future" for Australia.
Photo Left: 21st Birthday party in Horwood
What kind of a student were you?
I performed well beyond my own expectations up to one fateful exam paper during finals. Friendships with students outside my areas of study were invaluable.
How has Keele influenced your life?
The uniqueness of my Keele degree gave me the versatility to develop expertise in some quite challenging areas above and beyond the usual domains of profession/trade-like training.
What is your favourite memory of Keele?
The glorious grounds and gardens as an escape from the dreadful environmental crimes that were committed to fashion the local urbanisations, and in my final year the pleasant backdrop to outdoor economic debates/tutorials.
What is your impression of Keele now?
I have made several return trips to Keele over the years including seminar presentations in Chemistry. I have a lot to thank the late Professors Harry Springhall, Ian T Millar and Bruce Williams for. Keele has come a long way since the days of UCNS. She's bigger, better, and more pervasive than I would have ever considered possible. The links to medicine seem to have had a profound influence.
P.S. I like the modern crest!

The County Meath park is one of the most popular attractions on the island of Ireland and has become a huge hit with families and thrill seekers from Northern Ireland who now account for some 25 per cent of all visitors each year.
Now Tayto Park is gearing up for its biggest season yet with over 100 attractions on site and the promise of more exciting new rides this year.
Owner and founder Raymond Coyle visited Belfast today to launch the new season, accompanied by a selection of birds of prey from the World of Raptors display – one of the Park's major success stories of last year.
"We're very excited to announce that Tayto Park will be open for business this year from Sunday March 18," said Mr Coyle. "The Northern Ireland market is huge for us, representing more than a quarter of all visitors so we're delighted to be here today, along with some feathered friends to give people a sneak preview of what they can expect when they visit us this year.
"Last year was huge for us with the opening of our new World of Raptors and Viking Voyage attractions and this year will see us continue our investment to make Tayto Park bigger and better than ever – with a number of new attractions including Ireland's first ever driving school for kid, which opens on March 24, and a new spinning coaster which is due to open in June.
"With easy access from Northern Ireland and free parking for cars and buses, there really is something for visitors of all ages, whether they be families, couples, groups of friends, schools, birthday parties, or even companies hosting a corporate event," he added.
The new attractions will complement existing favourites such as the Viking Voyage water flume ride, the gravity-defying Rotator, the Power Surge and The Cú Chulainn Coaster, Ireland's first rollercoaster and Europe's first wooden rollercoaster with an inversion.
Tayto Park Zoo is home to an exceptional and diverse animal collection, from meerkats to big cats like the Amur Tiger, and a growing primate collection which includes the Squirrel monkey, Red-bellied tamarins and the Geoldi's monkey. The Park also hosts a selection of beautiful and colourful birds from around the globe, as well as the extremely popular World of Raptors birds of prey demonstration. And for kids wanting to travel back in time, Dinosaurs Alive, Ireland's only life-size animatronic dinosaur exhibition, features the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus.
Aside from the new attractions, a planning permission application has also been submitted to build a 32,000 square-metre, 250 bedroom family hotel which will offer accommodation, spa and leisure facilities for up to 1,000 guests. The seven-storey hotel will be built from wood to match the look and feel of the Park and will be in a parkland setting.
To celebrate its opening weekend on Sunday March 18 and Monday March 19, Tayto Park is offering a special 'all in' €20 ticket which includes entry and wristbands for opened attractions. To find out more go to www.taytopark.ie.
Tayto Park caters to a wide range of sectors including primary and secondary schools who can avail of various tours all of which include admission to the park, unlimited access to all attractions and educational aspects ranging from business to ecology and conservation.
This season, the Park will recruit 500 full and part time staff across the parks many attractions, retail outlets, food and beverage and facilities.

Let's get sociological: Are all cat people mac people and all dog people pc people?
I'd just like to know if there's any logic to my wafty theory.
cat and pc here
so no logic at all, thanks.
I like cats and I badly want a mac.
I don't like dogs or pcs much.
If this turns out to be true it'll be dead daft.
What about ferret people?
Or mole people? You fucking racist.
mole people like linux?
frog people like atari's?
Penguin people like linux
Linux people are cat /dev/null
Dog, cat, PC, Mac (sounds like the start of a rap)
Really, I have no preference over either.
I hate cats and I prefer macs.
cat pc
I like cats and have a PC. I like dogs too, but I don't have a Mac.
I think it is farily wafty...
I like Dogs, cats and macs...but spend most of my time on peecee's..why is that?
Come to think of it
I don't even have my own computer. I've fallen through the cracks in our society!
you are a have-not I'm afraid.
i'm a dog/pc
my flatmate is cat/mac
damn if you had replied first
i could have said 100% of people proove this theory
i came as quick as i could
i'm sorry!
i'm a cat person and i could've give a shit about computer makes.
it's fairly wafty, yes
but for the record I like dogs and pcs, and really dislike cats and macs. You dun made a logic!
I own a PC but no Cat.
I think I prefer cats as they're lower maintenance.
What would having a pet chimp make you?
Maybe made by the same people who make chocolate for dogs.

i must add

just so much better looking.
i have cats
but i think i like dogs more. they're hilarious. i have a mac.
I like mice and PCs
Proper mice with 2 buttons.
dogs are vile creatures.
i am dog/mac, i am a new mac recruit though, and i AM seeing myself beginning to prefer cats... so you might actually have something here! hahaha.
I love dogs and I love Macs
I am indifferent to cats and detest Windows PCs.
Dad = cat/mac.
cats over dogs
indifferent to pcs and macs
im a dog , baby
macs are a joke. I use both pretty much every day, and the fact that people buy macs over a pc then decide to brag about how much better it is, baffle me. Especially when most people buy it because they think that theyre cooler.
I agree there are certain things macs can do that a pc cant (and these generally wont be for the average consumer), but on the overall scale , pcs are better in every aspect. That macs dont crash is a myth. I had hours of my time wasted today because of macs crashing.
I'd say there's no rule, but you could definitely argue in favour of a strong correlation.
PCs are slightly more rubbish than cats, which are still rubbish. Dogs and Macs are both ace.
i have 3 macs and one cat, i used to have 2 cats until one got stolen. The cat is called sputnik, code named snow leopard.
i have a mac and no animals
macs are more like dogs though, more simple but need more care an attention. Plus dogs are cuter than cats, and macs are better looking than pcs. Theory = proved.
Analogy fail:
Surely PCs need all the attention while Mac's don't need any?
you're possibly right
my mac is more temperamental than my pc ever as, but that's probably a cat thing.
no. wot?
Normally it's
Mac = smug pricks
PC = everyone else who just use their computers and don't go on about it.
Also with the dog/cat thing, I've always thought the rule is:
Dog owners - like to be in charge and have a subservient animal colleague.
Cat owners - entirely subservient to the feline thing.
Combining the two....well....
I'm a cat person and cannot stand macs
Dogs are quite boring and Vista is amazing.
So no.
I am entirely unfussed by macs/pcs. Meh, as long as it prints who cares?
but... Cats are lovely and dogs can all burn in hell.
Hate Macs
Love cats
What about linux on a Mac?

Owner successfully denies contractor's "extra" and quantum meruit claims for additional payment on sewer system work repair and retrofit work needed to satisfy local government requirements. The decision: Archon Construction Co. v. U.S. Shelter (PDF).
Backstory – Archon Construction Co. v. U.S. Shelter
Owner develops a subdivision for new homes. The subdivision needs a sewer system. So the owner contracts with a contractor to build the sewer system. (That contractor is the prime contractor. (And to keep things short and easy—because this case doesn't involve controversy with subcontractors or anyone else further downstream—we'll just refer to that prime contract as the "contractor".)
Because the owner will later transfer the completed sewer system to the local city, the sewer system must satisfy city requirements and get city approval. The construction contract for building the sewer system—via a byzantine route of references to design plans, that include "notes," that refer to and incorporate government specifications—adopts a completed sewer system that's acceptable to the city as part of the work.
The contractor's proposal specifies PVC—not iron—pipes for the system. But the city rejects the PVC pipes on a part of the system. That requires the contractor to retrofit the system, principally by excavating part of the system and replacing the PVC with iron pipe. The contractor requests additional money from the owner to pay the additional cost of that retrofit work. The owner denies that request. The contractor sues the owner, alleging claims for "extra work," breach of contract, and quantum meruit.
Before trial, the contractor dismisses their extra work and breach of contract claims. They go to a bench trial forward solely on quantum meruit before the Honorable Lisa Curcio.
At trial, Judge Curcio rules against the contractor's quantum meruit claim. She holds that the retrofit work was included within the work identified under the contract, and that under the contract, the contractor is responsible for any cost to remove or replace material. Judge Curcio also holds that where there's an express contract between the litigants for the work in question, the contractor cannot succeed with quantum meruit to get additional payment. The contractor appeals.
Decision on Appeal
The Appellate Court affirms Judge Curcio. The justices begin by translating quantum meruit from Latin to English: "as much as s/he deserves." It's a legal principle that acts as a contract substitute to avert injustice. They catalog its prima facie elements:
- One person provides services to benefit another person
- There's no contract between the provider and the receiver for those services
- The provider doesn't provide those services gratuitously
- It's unjust for the receiving person to receive the benefit of those services without paying the provider for their reasonable value
They also explain that some refer to quantum meruit as a "contract implied-in-law" or a "quasi-contract." (To me, those terms are vague, too abstract, lacking enough descriptiveness to draw a perimeter around the concept. "Contract substitute" is more descriptive, and it suggests what the concept is there to do.)
Decisive to the justices: the second element—no contract between service provider and receiver. They hold that where the provider and receiver have a contract on the same general subject matter as that in dispute—here the building of a sewer system—the provider cannot recover extra-contractual payment via the contract substitute known as quantum meruit.
Judge Curcio held that that contract expressly imposes the cost of city mandated retrofit work on the contractor. The justices observe: retrofitting work the contractor seeks payment for is "part and parcel" of the work identified in the contract.
And according to the Appellate Court's standard, the contract needn't even be that particular. The general subject matter of that contract—sewer system build—is similar enough to services the contractor seeks payment for that quantum meruit isn't available.
The justices explain why quoting from their court's earlier decision in Industrial Lift Truck Service v. Mitsubishi International:
When parties enter into a contract they assume certain risks with an expectation of a return. Sometimes, their expectations are not realized, but they discover that under the contract they have assumed the risk of having those expectations defeated. As a result, they have no remedy under the contract for restoring their expectations. In desperation, they turn to quasi-contract for recovery. This the law will not allow. Quasi-contract is not a means for shifting a risk one has assumed under contract.
The justices suggest—at least for this case—reluctance to supplant the litigants' bargain articulated in the construction contract.
Against this the contractor argues that their proposal included only PVC pipe. But the justices reject that counter, observing that the contract also included work approved by and accepted by the city, regardless of whether it took PVC or iron pipe to get that approval and acceptance.
The justices also explain the difference between: (a) a breach of contract claim for "extra work" and (b) a quantum meruit claim. For quantum meruit, the work provided must be "wholly beyond the subject matter of the contract that existed between the parties." This suggests that extra work will then be something closely related to—or at least sharing some similarity with—the expressly contracted work. One might leave this discussion confounded by how to identify the maximum proximity of extra work lies and the minimum remoteness of quantum meruit. (Perhaps we'll pick that issue up in another post?) But one thing is certain: extra work claims require a higher standard of proof. Claimants must prove the prima facie elements of their extra work claim by clear and convincing—not just a preponderance of the—evidence. And that perhaps promotes the appeal of quantum meruit as a more popular route for those attempting the summit of additional payment.
Lessons and Observations
- Identification of work is critical. We cover that in our Top Ten Construction Contract Most Important Terms series. This decision is a practical example reinforcing that notion. In this case, the contractor promised to build to city approval and acceptance in exchange for a contract price. In that they took the risk that city officials could mandate greater expense. Perhaps the contractor didn't recognize and appreciate that when they entered into the contract. More on that below.
- Identification of work is often one of the weakest links in a contract. Probably because it's often vast and technical. Here the contract identified the work by incorporating and referring to plans. Those plans included notes. Those notes incorporated requirements imposed by multiple government bodies. A thorough audit of all those nested requirements is a daunting task. Difficult and expensive obligations can—and here did—hide among pages upon pages of technical mandates and details. They're often obscured in disparate separate parts, and only recognized when assembled after trouble arises.
This suggests review with great care before agreeing to incorporate extrinsic documents into your contract. Moreover, because those other documents are often technical, that review should usually feature close communication and synchronization among your businesspeople, your technical experts, and your lawyers.
- This case was pending about nine years when the justices rendered their decision here. This was the second appeal. This case will go on longer, perhaps seeking discretionary review in higher courts, and definitely after remand to Judge Curcio (or her successor). That's at least one trial, two appeals, and nine years of litigation about whether retrofit work that was patently included in the work identified in the contract was work contracted for under the contracted work. That comes at no small cost. Makes one wonder whether the contract includes an attorney fee-shifting clause, and if there is, how much more litigation will go on over that? (The contractor defeated an owner counterclaim at trial, that was affirmed on appeal, suggesting that future fee-shifting litigation will be contentious and protracted.)

Link for today: A whole slew of nice Ximian/Gnome wallpaper. Enjoy.
Changing my screen background is part of the cleansing process that's taking place since I upgraded Evolution to 1.2.1 and promptly broke my long-sought perfect syncing with my Palm Pilot. Aargh. It works again, mind you, but only after extensive head-scratching and fidgeting with various scripts and configurations. (Ximian's support solution, to use red-carpet to install various gnome-pilot and evolution-pilot packages, did not work; I had, in fact, already used red-carpet to install all such packages.) The final, aggravating solution is this: I must manually kill and then run gpilotd (the daemon that watches the Pilot) after pressing sync on the cradle. Otherwise, gpilotd sees the Pilot connect, but is apparently unable to actually do anything about it. So, one quick bash script later, and I can sync again, but it takes an extra mouse click. Oh, the time wasted with time-saving technologies.
This did it for me. If you're one of the unfortunate sync-less upgraders, I hope this solution helps you, too.

Traders look at foreign exchange rates to understand the economic strength of a country and its currency. Most traders keep track of the exchange rates so that they are able to understand the market better and increase their chances of success. As currencies are traded in the forex market it is important that you learn and understand the different factors that affect the exchange rates so that you are able to plan your trading in an effective manner.
When the exchange rates are high the imports become cheap and the exports become costly. Similarly, when the exchange rates are low the exports become cheap and the imports become costly. Traders who watch the rates closely may be able to determine the strength of the currency and this can help them make important trading decisions about the currency pairs to trade.
Key factors that affect foreign exchange rates
One of the key factors that affect foreign exchange rates is inflation. The currency of a country that has low inflation appreciates whereas the currency of a country that has high inflation depreciates. As a forex trader it is important that you keep a watch on the inflation rate so that you may decide on the value of the currency pairs you wish to trade. If the inflation rate is more, then the government of Australia and the central bank may take measures to bring it down so that the value of the AUD increases.
Interest rates also influence the exchange rates. The interest rates data is released by central banks on certain specific dates and you need to be aware about them so that you are able to plan your trade. When a higher interest rate is announced by the bank it helps in appreciating the value of the currency as it attracts foreign investment in the country.
If a country has large public debt it may affect the value of the currency. Countries that have large public debts find it difficult to attract investors due to which the value of the currency may go down. Balance of trade is also an important factor that affects exchange rates. If the exports are more than the imports then the balance of trade is said to be favourable, whereas if the imports are more than the exports then the balance of trade is negative.
Economic strength affects foreign exchange rates
The economic strength of a country affects foreign exchange rates and it is best to choose currency pairs of countries that have a stable economic outlook and political stability. You should avoid investing in a currency of a country that has political turmoil and economic problems.
If you want to be a successful trader it is important that you are aware of the economic, political and social factors that affect the exchange rates. You can also make use of the economic calendar to learn about the dates when the important economic data is released by various government agencies and central banks. You may be able to determine the best time to trade based on this information and make consistent profits.

Apple Technology --> No originality or innovation (property of Samsung)
iOS --> No originality (Everyones iOS is the same across the board Android gives you originality)
iOS --> Purpose to patent things and make $ from the consumer. (Android will always work for the consumer to make what we want)
Iphone build quality --> Made in China (Heavy does not mean durability)
Design --> No originality or innovation (Seriously, retangle with round corners)
Apple Lawsuit --> Proof of no originality (Cannot compete in mobile technology so must turn to manipulating the law)
Patents --> Don't mean originality or innovation but who can patent it first.
I will never buy an Apple product because they are a group of Money Hungry Leaches and will never have be able to compete truly in the mobile industry!
onedi, 26 Aug 2012idont care,.what is the result,.i'll keep loving SAMSUNG,.and will never buy Aplle product,.,y... more100% couldnt agree more.
apple products really arent that great, overated and over priced
nick, 26 Aug 2012apple claiming it's not right to steal? that's the funniest thing i've heard in ageslaugh as hard as you can then.
One could regard it as highly inappropriate for a jury who may not be fully IT literate but chosen at random to determine the fate in many respects of this increasingly important sector of the communications economy.
apple claiming it's not right to steal?
that's the funniest thing i've heard in ages
what i dont like about the patent system is that even if you did or didnt invent something, whoever patents it first gets the rights to that technology.whoever is granting these patents are just fools and its creating unfair business practace in apples favour.
Every thing apple has released is a copy from every manufacturer, yet because they filed for the patent it means they can sue manufacturers and claim the technology was apples. touch screens, pinch to zoom, screen icons, slide to unlock were all about before apple released the iphone on windows linux, all they do is take the best technology thats out, put it all together with some splash of colour, brainwash people with their marketing then claim they invented and own it, its revolutionary and sue everyone else. i really despise apple at the moment, ive recently moved from iphone to the gs3 and yes the gs3 is far superior in every way despite what excuses apple fans say. it is the top phone period. i will never buy apple products after this. android on the gs3 is far superior in every way, you only realise this once you own one and jump off the apple brainwash wagon. Apple really sucks atm, im rooting for samsung as i have now seen the light.
This is a sad day indeed.
With all respect if law would judge things like this as infrignation then it might very well be flawed.
Mobile phones so called innovation comes in three sections: shape, hardware and software.
As for shape, all basic design elements comes from nature (or god pick yours) like rectangle and round like edges. Combining these elements make both beautiful and hideous shapes alike,and same goes for usability.
So unless you Copy the entire design (like typical look) you should not be infringing anyone right ,because a single detail can make or break the look.
Example is you can paint or sculpt something similar but you won't be stealing anything unless you completely copy it or copy imagination based elements (like fantasy universes and fictional character as they don't exist naturally).
As for hardware: if you can make it without stealing plans then you deserve to unless you copy some copyrighted stuff. For example you can't copy amoled screens bluetooth without permission but you can make quad core processor, 8 mp cams and same resolution screens if you can.
And last on software: unless you work with the same programming language (and able to copy walls of text right into your software) then you should be able to copy EVERY feature all you want bit again not being able to copy the exact look same as in shape category.
This might sound strange or unfair but without such freedom monopoly is a sure result and that is a very bad thing in the long run.
Sorry for the long post and my possibly lousy English but I just had to vent it out.
idont care,.what is the result,.i'll keep loving SAMSUNG,.and will never buy Aplle product,.,you pay alot of money for nothing,.
well i still think Apple products dont deliVer much functionality... its very limited in a way that people need to buy the stuff that they need to get it... its very selfish and people lose one important thing...
why buy products that you dont even know how to maximize the features of?
[deleted post]Apple didn't invent the mouse. It was created by former employees of Xerox and after the bosses rejected the project, Apple bought it.
You have to watch it!
What A farce, really??? All this cus it looks similar!!!?? Apple arent all they're all cracked up to be if they feel they have to sue Samsung anyway!
Anonymous, 26 Aug 2012You do realize the s3 is a retina amoled screen right? Retina is not a display. It pertains to... morestfu they do invent stuff they r being stolen from
not the first time samsung has done it is it
ahh, well display is display but os is os, what is the problem here. I don't really know the legal bs but I do know I the consumer deserves quality and I really find android quality. Apple charges too much. debatable for sure. lol we could and will go on. :-)
husam, 26 Aug 2012Most of the people that used i phone now changed to samsung phones!? Simply samsung phones ar... moreyou gotta be kidding me :D no one who have and use an iPhone will go to any other brand,at worse he will try ,decide and come back to apple in no time...i am the owner of 3 iPhones and one galaxy s3,i can tell you that ios is better than android,that i am happy with my iPhone and that i will put the gs3 for sale on eBay ASAP

The 10 Cuts That Help Our Readers Save on Groceries
When we reached out to you guys on Facebook to see what cuts you make to your grocery lists to save money, a few of you pushed back, saying that you'd rather scrimp elsewhere — on dinners out, movies, or your Starbucks habit — before shaving your grocery bill. Others said there are a few small changes that can save you some money without making too big a sacrifice.
Here are 10 cuts that have helped our readers save on groceries.
1. Meat and seafood
Hundreds of people agree: Meat and seafood are the most expensive fresh foods you can by. Many of our readers suggested eating more vegetable-based meals, or using cheaper cuts of meats for meals like stews, chilis, or enchiladas where you can mix in beans or other proteins without missing the meat.
2. Convenience foods
Forget anything pre-chopped, pre-marinated, or ready to heat and eat — when someone else does the work for you, you're paying extra. Even foods like pre-sliced deli meats and salads hit the cut list. Same with frozen french fries (buy the potatoes), instant oatmeal (get the regular kind in bulk), and salad mixes (buy a head of lettuce).
3. Disposable non-food items
Paper towels, single-task cleaners, wipes, sandwich bags, name-brand detergents, and non-essential toiletries are on the pricey end of your grocery budget. Find ways to work with reusable or homemade items instead.
4. Treats and snacks
Whether your tastes run savory or sweet, snack foods (see: chips, dip, beef jerky, crackers, sugary cereal, candy, cookies, and baked goods) are easy to deem non-essential.
5. Packs and mixes
If you want a sweet treat (see #4), skip the bakery aisle and boxed mix and make it from scratch. If you want tacos, don't buy taco seasoning; mix your own. If you want Mediterranean herb-infused quinoa, hit the cabinet instead of buying a box.
6. Condiments
Fancy mustard, organic mayo, teriyaki, Worcestershire, and A-1 — they're all out. Use what you already have on hand until there's space (and money) for these extras.
7. Out-of-season and expensive produce
We may be used to having berries in the middle of winter, but it's expensive to get them to the store! Cook with local and in-season fruits and vegetables to stick to fresh produce that's not too pricey. And avoid the priciest items, like avocados, artichokes, and even some apples, in favor of their less exotic cousins.
8. Beverages
It doesn't matter whether you call it soda or pop, it's a non-essential. Juices, soda waters, teas, and fancy coffees get cut, too. And yes, that includes alcohol.
9. Name-brand items
Sometimes you don't need to eliminate an item from your grocery list — you just need to switch to the generic brand.
10. Organic produce
While some people prefer to buy all organic all the time, many of you said you'll buy "regular" versions of bananas, avocados, onions, and more.
What about you? Anything else that you cut out when you're grocery shopping on a budget?

How a San Diego Short Sale Can Keep Options Open for Future Purchases
How a San Diego Short Sale Can Keep Options Open for Future Purchases
Millions of people have run into trouble with their mortgages for reasons that were largely out of their control, and many of them wound up allowing their homes to fall into foreclosure even though doing so inflicted an enormous amount of damage on their financial futures. There are still many people who are stuck in this difficult situation, and those who are need to obtain the help of short sale specialists as soon as possible to explore this possibility.
Below you will find information regarding how executing a short sale in San Diego can help keep someone's financial options open for the future instead of facing a ruinous result that is foreclosure. You will also find information regarding how you can contact experienced San Diego short sale professionals to learn more about this option for relief if you are in a difficult financial situation and you need immediate help.
The Nature of Credit Scores
As most people understand, a person's credit score is what will largely define the risk involved with offering a person credit. If a credit score is too low for a lender, that lender will either offer credit only with added interest and expense or it will not offer credit at all given the perceived risk. For many reasons, completing a short sale in San Diego can help someone protect his or her credit score by limiting the damage that's done as a result of the devalued real estate in his or her name.
Foreclosures and Credit Scores
Unfortunately, when someone falls into foreclosure and has his or her home retaken by the lender, that history will wind up on that person's credit score. Every potential creditor for the next several years will review that person's credit history and low credit score and label that person as a high risk for lending. As stated above, someone in this situation will face either expensive borrowing or they will not have the option of borrowing at all. Those who have worked with short sale specialists may not have to face this degree of stressful scrutiny.
The San Diego Short Sale and Credit Scores
While completing a short sale in San Diego can have a negative effect on someone's credit score, the damage that's done will usually not be nearly as ruinous as the appearance of a foreclosure. That's because the people who take the initiative to work out a solution that limits the harm to both the borrower and the lender will in many situations be seen as a more viable risk to future lenders.
If you are facing problems with your mortgage and you're not sure of where to turn for help, seek the guidance of short sale specialists who have helped many people navigate their way through trouble. Contact Americorp Financial & Realty Servicestoday to learn more about this possibility.

Paint glass-fiber mat or fiberglass web allows saving energy and time spent on leveling the surfaces of the ceiling and walls during regular repair. The application of glass-fiber mats is becoming increasingly important for finishing and strengthening internal surfaces and removing numerous small flaws.
Glass-fiber mat is an environmentally friendly material made from mineral glass fibers and organic resins. It is a continuous nonwoven fabric, consisting of randomly glued fibers, without a marked pattern and having a great tensile strength.
Glass tissue glue "Lux"
To choose the right adhesive for a glass-fiber mat, you need to pay attention to certain characteristics of the product before buying it:
- Despite the fact that glass-fiber mat is a light enough material, the glue for its pasting should have very strong adhesion since its function is to withstand the weight of putty and paint applied over the glass-fiber mat.
- The adhesive must be polymer-based since the starch-based adhesives cannot resist additional moisture contained in the putty over the glass-fiber mat.
- The adhesive should contain at least 15% of the main substance – polymer, which determines the strength of the joint, moisture resistance and durability of the adhesive joint.
Prices for Glass Tissue Adhesives
|Container, kg
|Price, UAH
In practice, we often encounter that the requirements for application of adhesives for glass-fiber mats cannot always be met during repair work:
- The temperature in the room is higher or lower than the recommended for gluing;
- The ready-to-use adhesive is diluted with water at builders' discretion;
- Cheap putty with a high sand content can be used for filling a glass-fiber mat, while the adhesive load is increased to two times;
- Builders save time, without waiting for complete drying of surfaces after gluing the glass-fiber mat and start puttying and painting in less than 24 hours.
Therefore, when developing the recipe for the wallpaper glue "Lux" we have laid a certain "margin of safety", and its durability has been tested by many years of experience of use and confirmed by many craftsmen-builders.
Glass tissue glue application rules
- Prepare the surfaces to be glued, having cleaned them of dirt and dust. Carry out a "start" filler of surfaces.
- Prime surfaces with glue "Lux" in the ratio: 1 part of glue and 2 parts of water.
- The special glue for glass-fiber mat should be applied directly to the wall, and not to the adhesive tape.
- Lay the linen butt-end, carefully leveling with a spatula.
- After gluing the fiberglass, the surface is again primed with the diluted glue.
- After complete drying, the surfaces are filled with the finish putty, cleaned with a wire lath and primed with the diluted glue.
- The last stage is painting walls or other decoration of surfaces.
Where to buy glue for glass tissue?
You can buy glue for repair work directly from the manufacturer "Lux-X". Our prices for glass-fiber mat glues are available for every buyer. You can find out prices of the wallpaper glue "Lux" directly on the site. The delivery of the presented assortment of goods is carried out throughout the territory of Ukraine.

My players did not enjoy this adventure at all. As other reviewers have noted, there's a hard railroad in this adventure. I had the quest-giver foreshadow this, and the players immediately recognized that the ambush was overwhelming in an attempt to railroad, but they insisted on fighting through it anyway. They were so annoyed that I felt like I had to skip over most of the middle part to just get to the action of the arena and finish up the adventure. Even then, one of the players sat out the fight because they were so annoyed by the railroad.

No that is not the right answer!!!
That bridge looks very much like the one I use to traverse
the Kaskaskia River at Shelbyville, Illinois. Built back about the turn
of the last century and strengthened a few times over the years to handle
the heavier trains that now use it. We are restricted to 20 mph while on
the bridge as there are two tight turns onto and off the bridge. Originally
built by the Chicago and Eastern Illinois RR, it is now owned by the Union

How far would you be willing to go to reunite with your family? I don't know about people but for some dogs it seems there's no limit. We all know dogs are loyal and have a near endless capacity for love. One of my more recent articles speaks to how they never let go of affection for their family despite long separation. Pero is no exception. As an active sheepdog he was sent far away from home to work on a farm earlier this month. He decided he couldn't bear to be away from his loved ones and disappeared from the farm in Cockermouth England only to reappear back at this home in Penrhyncoch Wales less than two weeks later. This impressivee trek was at least (without detours) 240 miles overland. He just appeared one Wednesday evening out of the blue and excitedly jumped into his owner's arms. Aside from a mild limp he seems to be doing just fine. Pero certainly wasn't starving or suffering from serious injury so he must know how to take care of himself.
Not only is this such an impressive distance to walk but also keep in mind that, as a dog, Pero can't read maps or ask for directions. Somehow he figured out where to go all on his own. No one is quite sure what path he took but at this point I'd trust his sense of direction over my GPS any day of the week.

I can write that I am an ordinary girl who is looking for love. But I won't, I am not ordinary, I am unique, I am the one for you. You won't be ever bored with me. I am very active, cheerful and jolly. We won't be just sitting on the sofa, resting. There are so many things to do. So if you see by your side the girl who is kind, communicative, responsive, educated and joyful, then I am that very one you. Don't be shy, take your chance to write me and create our own story.
|Ideal match description:
I like educated and clever men, who have strong character, behave like a real man and gentleman, because every woman wants to be weak with her man. He should be kind, caring, attentive and courteous. Because who on Earth doesn't want to be loved and cared about? I also see by my side a purposeful, strong-willed, honest man with a good sense of humour.
I don't want you to think that if you I don't match these criteria you don't have a chance. It is just a list of characteristics that I prefer in a man. But love is what we can't predict and often it comes to us when we don't wait for it. The one thing is true. You will definitely have a chance if you write me. I am waiting for you!)

What are Pixies?
Pixies are mythical creatures of folklore, considered to particularly concentrated in the high moorland areas around Devon and Cornwall, suggesting some Celtic origin for the belief and name. Akin to the Irish and Scottish Aos Sí, pixies are believed to inhabit ancient underground ancestor sites such as stone circles, barrows, dolmens, ringfort or menhirs.
In traditional regional lore, pixies are generally benign, mischievous, short of stature and attractively childlike; they are fond of dancing, gather outdoors in huge numbers to dance or sometimes wrestle, through the night.
In modern times they are usually depicted with pointed ears, and often wearing a green outfit and pointed hat, although traditional stories describe them wearing dirty ragged bundles of rags which they happy discard for gifts of new clothes. Sometimes their eyes are described as being pointed upwards at the temple ends. These, however, are Victorian era conventions and not part of the older mythology.

The proper hamburger!
Very rarely I have a burger, but as it was national burger day I had to have one and visit Byron at last. Very busy restaurant so we had to wait a little to get served, but the staff friendly and helpful. I went for the blue cheese hamburger and my friend had the Byron special. Both burgers arrived looking good and tasted very nice, plenty of sauces and salads. The deserts were also delicious, I really enjoyed my first Byron experience.

Taulliraju, Abasraju, Santa Cruz, Huandoy Oeste, Chacraraju Este, Solo. After an acclimatization climb of Pisco with François Lafaye in late May, I made five solo ascents. From the Quebrada Santa Cruz on June 9 in eight hours I made the fourth ascent of Taulliraju (19,128 feet) by a partially new route, the south face and south-southeast ridge. Halfway up the ridge, I joined the route done by the Chamonix guides at the end of May. This splendid, direct, mixed route rises some 2000 feet from the bergschrund to the summit. There were severe difficulties in the bottom half where it was difficult to find protection on narrow tongues of snow and immense ice-coated, smooth slabs. I descended the same route. Abasraju (18,209 feet) had beaten off all attempts because of its complex ridges and steep faces. On June 13 in six-and-a-half hours I made the first ascent by the direct east face, which was first mixed and then snow, a rise of 2300 feet with rather serious objective dangers. I descended the not too steep, but very broken south ridge to a snowy col at 17,500 feet, where I bivouacked; I descended the south face the next day. It was difficult to find the route on the descent. After a third bivouac at the foot of the southeast face of Santa Cruz at 17,400 feet, I climbed a new route on Santa Cruz (20,537 feet), the direct southeast face, in six hours on June 15. The peak is a massive, elegant, regular pyramid. My ice route had some 3000 feet of rise. The access to the foot of the face was rather complicated. I descended the Swiss route of 1948. The conditions were much worse than during my ascent of last year. These two climbs were part of a single five-day push. On June 29 I climbed the southwest face of Huandoy Oeste (20,853 feet) in seven-and-a-half hours. The climb was mixed but predominantly ice. From the bergschrund it rises 3000 feet to the summit. The technical difficulties are great in the mixed climbing in the lower half and on the ice cliff near the top. The access was delicate and the objective danger considerable. I descended the normal route. My last solo climb, done on July 5 in six hours, was the third ascent of Chacraraju Este (19,686 feet) by a new route, the direct south face. My route was to the right of the Chamonix guides' route and did reach the actual summit, which theirs did not. The technical difficulties on the upper half were severe. It was 2150 feet from the bergschrund to the top. I descended the same route, rappelling down the upper part.

Staff Report
NewsWest 9
An accident on Highway 80 left state troopers scratching their heads on Tuesday evening.
Troopers tell us the blue car you see here pulled out from FM 1290 right in front of a truck going down Highway 80.
The blue car was rear ended, lost control, and ran off the road.
When troopers arrived, the driver of the blue car was no where to be found.
They believe the driver fled, and are continuing their search.
