The school seal is symbolic of what St. Paul College of Makati as an educational institution stands for. The various colors and symbols in the school seal were adopted from the coat of arms of Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC). The symbols include the following: sword, book, lamp, palm branch, and wavy line. The colors include green and gold as background; and red, white, and blue as the central focal point with the symbols contained therein.
Sword: The sword symbolizes the power of the Gospel of Christ that St. Paul proclaimed. The Word of God is likened to a sword that cuts both ways. It calls us to conversion from our old life to commitment to the values of Jesus. For the Paulinian, the sword stands for courage, fortitude, and discipline to face the challenges of accepting oneself and growing into the person in the likeness of Jesus.
Book: The book stands for knowledge and wisdom which the Paulinian seeks to acquire. It includes all the skills, values, attitudes, and competencies necessary to live a meaningful and productive Christian life.
Lamp: The lamp stands for light, witness, and service. It is symbolic of a LIFE that is service-oriented, a life that witnesses to Christ and the values of the Gospel, a life that dispels darkness and gives hope to the needy, the despairing, and the disadvantaged, after the example of Fr. Louis Chauvet.
Palm Branch: The palm branch, in ancient times, signified victory for the athlete and martyrdom for the Christians. The palm challenges the Paulinian to be self-sacrificing, to accept and endure the pains that is our share in the suffering of Christ so that we can share in His victory.
Wavy line: The wavy line signifies the waters of the sea of which St. Paul and all our early Sisters had dared to cross to bring the Good News. It symbolizes the Paulinian's readiness to take on any task and the tranquil daring to face what is difficult and unknown. Paulinians are missionaries.
Red, White and Blue: The tricolor background represents the Philippine Flag and the Flag of France. This represents the Paulinian's fidelity to its Filipino roots and French heritage. It signifies patriotism and love of country, and pride in its cultural legacy. Red is for courage, self-sacrifice, and tranquil daring to face challenges; white is for purity, simplicity, and single-mindedness to pursue what is noble and holy; blue is for justice, peace, and for the Paulinian's devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The official colors of Paulinian schools are green and gold. Green is for the HOPE of being freed from slavery…to enjoy the freedom and glory of the children of God (Rom 8:21-22). It refers to the Paulinian's JOYFUL OPENNESS to LIFE and all that life brings remembering always what Jesus said, "I am with you always". Gold is for the GLORY that God has promised to His children and heirs, and we are children, we are heirs as well; heirs of God and co-heirs with sharing His sufferings so to share His glory (Rom. 8:17). Gold stands for PURITY and INTEGRITY. For the Paulinian, it means striving for what is excellent, good, and perfect in a joyful spirit.
The school motto is "CARITAS CHRISTI URGET NOS" or THE CHARITY OF CHRIST URGES US (2 Cor 5:14). After the example of St. Paul, spurred on by the love of Christ, countless Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres, full of zeal and fervor, continue to cross vast waters to establish educational, pastoral, and health service institutions all over the world, striving to make the love of Christ known by all people they come in contact with. The Paulinian, likewise, aspires to be all to all with special preference for the disadvantaged, offering his/her every action for the salvation of souls in the footsteps of St. Paul.

July 12 2017 can be listed as yet another date of disappointment for David Bowie fans around the world. The third box set in a series of re-issues (yes, again) will hit stores at the end of September and once more, as with the previous two offerings from the Bowie estate, there is nothing new or exciting to look forward to aside from a pretty looking box and a book with liner notes from Tony Visconti.
As expected, Bowie fans went into meltdown on social media when news of "A New Career In A New Town: 1977-1982" broke. The key selling points aside from the pretty packaging seem to be a new remix of "Lodger" from 1979 and "Stage", a live album originally butchered, sorry, released in 1978 that needed a further 27 years before it was rectified and even then they still left important tracks off it. "A New Career In A New Town: 1977-1982" captures the original 1978 butchered release on yellow vinyl and the almost rectified 2005 re-issue on black vinyl that now includes "Suffragette City" and "The Jean Genie". To be honest, i'm surprised Bowie's estate didn't release an alternative box with "Stage" on blue vinyl (depicted below) just to take the piss a little more knowing fans would probably buy two box sets to compensate the completest desires within. Yes, some Bowie fans really are that gullible. After all, in 1978 the album came out on both blue and yellow vinyl in Holland. I'm now trying to be too much of a downer on there releases but I need to ask why? Why are we getting the same material thrown at us time and again instead of being allowed into the world of the unknown, IE: the monumental catalogue of unreleased and rare material that still collects dust in the "vault".
One of the key selling points for these box sets has been the Recall extras that claim to include all known single edits, b-sides and other such anomalies. With the original "Five Years" box set, they forgot to include "The Superman" which originally came out on the Glastonbury Fayre LP released in 1972. This time, they have missed the boat again by leaving out the adorable "Revolutionary Song" that was released in Japan and also appeared on the "Just A Gigolo" OST.
Frustratingly, we all know there is a plethora of material that remains unreleased. And of course, there are the splendid Rykodisc extras which continue to be criminally ignored. Only fools would dare to think the vaults have been exhausted. April's belated release of "Cracked Actor" was a small step in the right direction thought the ball was dropped big time with the omission of Dana Gillespie's tracks on the beautifully packaged "BOWPROMO". Let's also look at the recent release of "Art Decade", an uncovered gem from the Perth show in 1978 as a fine example. Who would have guessed that a respectable copy of this concert existed six months ago? This points the finger squarely at the potential for so much more enjoyment for fans.
Sadly though, Parlaphone will continue to dress up the old material in fancy boxes and colored vinyl because, like Elvis fans following the King's death in 1977, Bowie fans will keep buying these box sets, anniversary picture discs and endless supplies of albums we already own many times over on colored vinyl pressings because it's what collectors do and Bowie's estate knows this and will milk it to the hilt. Let's be brutally honest here, Bowie's fan base is aging. The younger fans predominantly listen to Bowie on Spotify so these re-issues are hardly going to appease them are they? So where does that leave his older fans?
I didn't buy the last box set and chances are, I won't be spending my hard earned on this new rehash of material most of us already own. It's just the same old thing, in brand new drag after all and hardly a visionary release like the contents creator once was.

Yesterday, I posted about a Smitty interview. Here, I'm posting the questions asked, and Smitty's answers to them all. (NOTE: The answers to this interview are NOT to be taken seriously. It's just for fun, people.)
Cam asked: "When on the way to the moon what do you do for entertainment?"
Smitty said: I count the stars. So far, I'm at 7,654,389,401. It's a lot of fun. You should try it sometime!"
Josh asked: "How could I become as cool as you? Can you teach me to have so much awesome that it comes out of my ears when I sneeze, like you?"
Smitty said: "Well, you could sit in the freezer...nah, I kid. Seriously, to be cool, you gotta think of yourself as cool. Self-esteem FTW. As for the awesome, that comes with the cool. But it takes lots of practice to be able to sneeze it out without blowing someone's head off."
Tia asked: "Wanna invent robot butlers?"
Smitty said: "Sure - just as soon as I finish my cure for cancer and ending world hunger."
Aidan asked: "What is your theory on the evolution of the English language in both it's written and verbal forms?
Smitty said: "People seem to be dumbing it down more and more every day. *sigh* Oh well. Not like Pig Latin, though - now THERE'S a constant."
Josh asked: "How do you manage not to show people your super powers every day? I know if I had anything cool about me, I'd be begging to show people.
Smitty said: "I have superpowers? I thought everyone was like this!"
Ryan said: First, what is the secret of the Bermuda Triangle? Two, what is the meaning of life? And three, why do I love drill?"
Smitty said: "First, that info could potentially destroy the Earth if it fell into the wrong hands, so I cannot release that to you. Second, the answer is Seven. Third, why not? Doesn't everyone?"
Thanks for reading, people. See you tomorrow! :D

Fit Small Business: Get Your Business Into Shape! › Forums › Ask a Question › Do me and my husband qualify for a "qualified joint venture".

Hi Danielle. Great question!
According to the IRS website, you must meet several criteria to be considered a "qualified joint venture."
Here are the criteria from the IRS website:
"A qualified joint venture is a joint venture that conducts a trade or business where (1) the only members of the joint venture are a married couple who file a joint return, (2) both spouses materially participate in the trade or business, and (3) both spouses elect not to be treated as a partnership. A qualified joint venture, for purposes of this provision, includes only businesses that are owned and operated by spouses as co-owners, and not in the name of a state law entity (including a limited partnership or limited liability company). Note also that mere joint ownership of property that is not a trade or business does not qualify for the election. The spouses must share the items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit in accordance with each spouse's interest in the business. The meaning of 'material participation' is the same as under the passive activity loss rules in section 469(h) and the corresponding regulations (see Publication 925, Passive Activity and At-Risk Rules). Note that, except as provided in section 469(c)(7), rental real estate income or loss generally is passive under section 469, even if the material participation rules are satisfied, and filing as a qualified joint venture will not alter the character of passive income or loss."
Your business with your husband may qualify as a "qualified joint venture" if you meet these criteria. However, it may also depend on the nature of your business. If your business collects passive revenue by renting real estate, for instance, you may not qualify.
You can read more directly at the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/election-for-married-couples-unincorporated-businesses
Hope this helps,

US Judge Shelves Guantanamo Detainee Lawsuits February 1, 2007Posted by notapundit in Judiciary, US News.
WASHINGTON (AP)–Sixteen lawsuits by Guantanamo Bay detainees were put on hold Wednesday by a federal judge who said he may no longer have jurisdiction to hear their cases.
U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton in Washington said the Military Commissions Act, signed into law in October, has left him unable to consider whether the detainees can challenge being held at the Marine facility in Cuba.
An appeals court in Washington is considering whether civilian jurists can rule on those cases. Until that issue is resolved, Walton said, "it is this court's view that it lacks the authority to take any action in these cases."
Walton's six-page order denying the motions challenging detention of the 16 men left open the possibility refiling the requests if the appeals court decides civilian courts can review detainee cases.
If the appeals panel "concludes that this court retains some degree of jurisdiction over any or all of the above-captioned cases, the matters will be automatically reopened as appropriate," he wrote.
The Justice Department did not have an immediate comment.
The New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, which represents the detainees, said that Walton's decision will delay justice for an estimated 200 people imprisoned at Guantanamo.

If you are arrested and charged with committing a crime, the legal system allows you the opportunity to hire an attorney to represent you in court. It is always recommended that an attorney handle your criminal case. Your freedom and well-being are on the line, after all, and that just isn't worth playing around with. However, there are some cases when an attorney is an absolute must. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Call a criminal defense attorney in Charlotte NC before anything else. Here are three such cases when it is imperative an attorney represent you in court.
1- Domestic Violence
Although generally classified as a misdemeanor charge, a conviction for DV carries a penalty of up to 11 months, 29 incarceration and/or probation, anger management classes, and fines. But, this conviction goes far deeper and tarnishes your good name, the record visible to anyone with an interest. You'll be forbidden to own a firearm after a conviction and may be unable to acquire a passport to travel outside the United States.
2- Drug Trafficking
Mandatory minimum sentencing in North Carolina means a conviction results in a minimum stint behind bars. As a felony charge, you can receive a prison sentence of no less than 25 months in prison and as long as 250 months in the slammer! Simply carrying large quantities of drugs on your person can result in a trafficking charge. It is imperative that an attorney represent you in this type of serious case.
A variety of sex crimes can land you in hot water. They ruin your name and require registration on a sex offender list if you are convicted. Whether you're charged with rape, child pornography possession, or another sex crime, make sure there is an attorney to represent you.

Just a couple hours after being sworn in as a City Council member, new-comer Austin Allison gave us all an extremely clear view of where his priorities lie when it comes to doing business for the City of Eureka.
When it came time, at the City Council meeting on December 13, 2016, to assign Council members to various boards and commissions, there was only one that Allison really wanted to be on. It was the Joint Powers Authority for Humboldt Bay Fire Authority – and Allison wanted to be on the JPA so that he could get the firefighters more money from the City.
Both Allison and fellow Council freshie Heidi Messner desired to get on board for negotiating with the HBFA. Of course, as we know from Highlander, there can be only one.
So how did the titans of intellect that comprise Eureka's Council elect to decide on the member who would be appointed to the JPA? With a frickin' coin flip!
You can watch the full meeting here: Eureka City Council Meetig 2016-12-13 (Allison's comment below begins at 3:45:06)
Anyway, here's Allison's comments from the City Council meeting:
"So, uh, for the JPA for Humdoldt Bay Fire Authority, I'd like to just say that as a union member of NUHW, um, I'm pretty well-versed in contract negotiations with my union, and I think I could be very helpful to other fire fighters in contract negotiations and helping them move forward with good contracts."
Uh…helping the firefighters get better contracts? That ain't your job, Austin.
When the genius of City of Eureka management, Greg Sparks, clarified that the negotiations were on behalf of management, aka the City and the taxpayer money they'll be forced to give up, Allison insisted his vast wealth of experience would be of great help to an already cash-strapped city.
This was the look on Frank Jaeger's face when he heard Allison take such a vocal and unequivocal stand against the City he was elected to represent, with the intent of ensuring fire fighters get paid even more.
Oh, you're wondering just how sweet of a deal the HBFA's fire fighters and employees already get? Well, you're in luck. Here's a link to the current MOU between HBFA and the City of Eureka: Humboldt Bay Fire Authority MOU
It's a lot to wade through, but pay special attention to the overtime section. It is the overtime policies that really, really f*** the rest of us tax payers over.
And here's another link, which will take you to the pay for firefighters and HBFA employees from 2014: HBFA Compensation – 2014
Here's something interesting about that list: of the 24 listed employees, 7 of them make under $100,000 per year in total compensation. By comparison, 17 of them take in over $100,000. And that number has only gone up since. Yikes. Remind us again…what part of their contract is bad, Mr. Allison?
Although, maybe we are reading too much into this since the NUHW employee contracts aren't nearly as lucrative as the current MOU for firefighters. So THC supposes there's a chance Allison won't be able to screw us too much more than we already are.
But, we also shudder to think what Allison could possibly mean by getting these firefighters better contracts. Their contracts are already ludicrously lucrative, and will assuredly go up even without Allison's asinine help. THC wonders – when reflecting on Allison's comments in his very first Council meeting – just what side he's working for, and whether he will truly have Eureka's best interests at heart.
Early indications are that Allison does not, and nor does he have the experience to conduct business favorable to the City rather than to whatever ideals he holds.
Allison should go ahead and get schooled just like this guy! (new version!)

Free Cece
- Director: Jacqueline Gares
- Producer: Laverne Cox
CGiii Comment
First and foremost, the American judicial system is deeply flawed...if not broken.
CeCe McDonald killed a man. She admitted to it. Then, she denied it, blaming it on someone else by way of a stupidly written letter. Then, she took a plea...for manslaughter.
The activists had a field-day, taking on her cause and her case, to satisfy their vicarious needs...demanding her to be freed...because, she is black, trans and acted in self-defence.
Still, a man was killed. This film shows nothing and says little about the victim. Because, Cece was [also] the victim. The man who died was a homophobe, a transphobe...if these accusations were true, are these really justifiable reasons for a man to die?!?
Of course, in a country that supports - in part - the death penalty...many will say that this was a justifiable outcome. It seems that 'sticks and stones' still break bones and names will always be hurtful...retaliation, in this case, came via a pair of scissors stabbed into his heart.
In walks Laverne Cox...and the whole film falls apart. The last thing this documentary needed was an over-powering dose of celebrity...making the film more about being black and trans and not what it should have been...about wrongful conviction!
Don't expect any in-depth interviews, there aren't any! Don't expect a detailed, forensic account of the killing, there isn't one.
There are denials by the justice department that they did not bend under the activists' pressure...of course they did. They offered CeCe a plea and she - wisely or unwisely - took it.
This film had the opportunity to ask big, mighty questions. It asked none. Why have trans-women of colour become such targets of hate? What measures/initiatives are the police, education and judicial departments going to implement to address this [often] tragic and horrendous state of affairs?!?
Plea-bargaining terrifies people into submission...it does not offer justice. It delivers expediency at the cost of the accused. If it were you, if you were innocent, if you successfully defended yourself against the possibility of being attacked and/or killed...would you take a plea?
The(ir) Blurb...
In 2012, CeCe McDonald was incarcerated on a count of second-degree manslaughter after defending herself from a brutal attacker. A bisexual transgender African American woman, CeCe's case sparked national outrage, and she soon emerged as a leader in the crusade against the prison-industrial system. Actress and activist Laverne Cox hosts this nuanced documentary that tackles a wide range of complicated topics, including transphobia and racism, the unfair ways the prison-industrial system treats persons of color, and most importantly, the indomitable nature of the human spirit.

Severn Heaven, that's what Glen had told me...a place where monster Grayling lurk. That was all the encouragement that I needed to join the lads, Glen, Guy and Phil for a day on the Severn.
After a restless night dreaming of monster fish, I woke before the alarm went off at 05:30 on Sunday morning, to find the garden covered in 10 cms of snow. That certainly wasn't going to stop me and off I set crawling along the A5 mainly going sideways. Just 7 miles and 30 minutes into the journey Glen called to say that one of the lads had dropped out and we decided that given the weather it probably wasn't worth going. So disappointingly I set off back home just about making it back home and almost smashing the car in the process.
Just an hour and a half later Glen called to tell me that snow or no snow, he and Guy were on their way. Well there was no way that I was going to let them catch all the fish, so it was back on the road and just over 2 hours later I was with the boys on the side of the river.
After an introduction to Phil, who had already had some fish, it was time for a quick discussion of tactics and flies and then to business. We were all fishing using the Czech Nymph method, a tactic that I was yet to master.
After just a few minutes Glen was into a cracking fish with Guy following close behind. And that was the to be the tale for the rest of the day, the lads catching some of the biggest Grayling that I have ever seen in my life!!! Check out their blogs for some "hard evidence" if you don't believe me!
The lads kindly tutored me in how to Czech Nymph spending their precious fishing time giving me tips and tricks and of course providing me with a few demonstrations on how to handle big fish.
The surroundings and the river were fantastic and we all agreed that it looked like we were somewhere else in the world.
Despite only catching two small grayling, one which became a flying fish and almost hit Guy on the head, I must admit that I had a fabulous day. And so in the words of an almost famous angler....Lord Pointon - "In angling you always get another chance!"
Thank goodness for that.....

Kia Drops It Like It's Hot in Sedona Safety Testing
When it comes to the safety of your family, you can never be too safe—and neither can Kia. In the Korean carmaker's most recent safety testing of the all-new Sedona minivan, Kia has taken to dropping it like it's hot—literally.
Kia knows that minivan owners make safety a top priority. That's why the carmaker decided to take the Sedona—also known as the Grand Carnival in certain markets—and drop it vertically from a height of 41 feet.
While a vertical drop test isn't as exciting to watch as a car colliding with a stationary object, it still exemplifies just how safe the Sedona minivan truly is. To ensure the safety of all passengers, Kia uses 52% Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) in the minivan's body structure, making it one extremely tough vehicle. In comparison, dropping the vehicle from a height of 41 feet is the same as testing it the regular way at 34 miles per hour.
To show off the Sedona's unbeatable safety, Kia has highlighted this vertical drop in a television spot that was released in the markets where the Sedona is known as the Grand Carnival.
Watch the Sedona's vertical drop:
Sadly—or not so sadly, depending on how you look at it— the spot did not feature any dancing hamsters. But hopefully, this means we'll see Kia dropping more vehicles from an even greater distance in the future!

Durham NC police using technology to boost policing effectiveness
The Durham, N.C., Police Department is using analytical policing techniques through the use of both technology and human analysis of data to create a better view of current conditions. The department has two teams that focus on the data and analysis aspects of police work, according to local news station WNCN. The two groups use both software programs and big data analysis to make determinations that will help patrol officers, detectives and other local members of law enforcement do their jobs. The work isn't glamorous and involves a lot of time and effort to be successful, according to Jason Schiess, an analyst with the Durham Police Department.
"At the most basic level, they are looking at weekly crime trends to see where crimes are happening," Schiess told WNCN. "Whether there is any pattern to those crimes to indicate that the same person or individual maybe involved."
The crux of the effort involves software programs that mine data from incoming officer reports. The statistical analysis performed automatically, as well as the trained, in-depth insight of officers on the Crime Analysis teams, helps to identify trends in terms of geography and other factors. The analysts and computer programs also look for similarities between different incidents, helping to tie events together and develop a modus operandi for a criminal before that person is even caught.
"Heat" mapping an effective approach in nearby Cary, N.C.
One of the nearby sister cities of Durham is Cary, N.C., where a "heat" map is used to determine where crime control efforts are most needed. Using many of the same techniques as in Durham, the Cary Police Department maps out the frequency of crimes and other incidents in its confines and directs patrols to these high-intensity areas. A benefit cited by the department is that resources are more effectively committed to parts of the city that need the most attention. Such efforts in Cary have proven effective. It was ranked by the FBI as the safest city in the U.S. for its size group, between 100,000 and 500,000, according to local news source the Cary Citizen.
As WNCN pointed out, there's a major difference between the analytical police work done by real officers and the scenarios often presented on television and in movies. As part of an overall law enforcement strategy, data measurement and analysis is proving its importance.
Thank You!
Thanks for contacting NC4! A member of our team will be in touch with you shortly.

Go Sachin Go!
Posted by Sathyamurthy www.sathyamurthy.com on October 11, 2008
Dear Mr. Tendulkar,
You have achieved a lot on the cricket field. Whatever you have achieved so far is fantastic. You have done lot of good things for the Indian Cricket. You have given so much pleasure over the many years to millions of cricket followers around the world. You have received rich accolades from greats such a Late Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Sobers and many many more contemporary cricketers.
Lot of records have been made by you, number of centuries, number of man of the match awards, world cup appearances and runs etc. etc. The list is endless.
However, it is undeniable that in the past two or three years you have clearly shown signs of fading. You seem to be not accepting that you have become a pale shadow of yourself on the field. Too many injuries, too many lay offs from active cricket and too little trouble to the scorers off late prove the point.
You are no more the authoritative batsman you were say about three years back. The decline is very visible. You deserve to go out on a high and with good respect.
There is no big deal in achieving the highest test run getter post. When it appears very clear that it is not going to stand for long. Because, much more aggressive, authoritative and still in touch batsman like Ricky Ponting is just breathing down your neck to surpass you within few tests of you achieving it. In your current batting form and ability it does appear to many of us that he may even reach that post earlier than you though you only required 175 odd runs when you went to Sri Lanka and now only require just 67 runs to reach there after the first innings of the ongoing Bangalore Test.
In your prime, 67 runs would have come probably come in a single session of a test match with the help of may be 8 fours, 1 six and some intelligently run singles and ones converted to twos. But, in the current form? I am sorry to say, but it appears that it might take six or seven test matches.
You deserve to go with respect. So go now.
You will not be one day late.

Bloomberg Law's® extensive network of reporters and editors provides comprehensive authoritative coverage of significant developments and issues in product safety and liability...
Austin, Texas, police officer Ryan Hancock suffered carbon monoxide poisoning from exposure to exhaust fumes in his 2014 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles, an Oct. 16 suit filed against Ford Motor Co. alleges ( Hancock v. Ford Motor Co. , Tex. Dist. Ct., No. D-1-GN-17-005765, complaint filed 10/16/17 ).
Austin police Sergeant Zachary T. LaHood filed a similar suit June 20 alleging he was exposed to the noxious fumes in his 2015 Ford Explorer police cruiser ( LaHood v. Ford Motor Co. , Tex. Dist. Ct., No. D-1-GN-17-002820, complaint filed 6/20/17 ).
The new suits come as Ford faces mounting pressure from groups like the Center for Auto Safety, which is pushing for a recall of as many as 1.3 million 2011-2017 Ford Explorer vehicles due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to drivers and occupants.
The group said Ford's Oct. 13 announcement that it would provide free repairs didn't go far enough.
Dealers will reprogram the air conditioner, replace the liftgate drain valves, and inspect sealing of the rear of the vehicle at no cost to customers, the announcement said.
"With something this potentially dangerous, the responsible step is a full recall—and if Ford will not do it, NHTSA should step in," Jason Levine, CAS's executive director, said Oct. 16 in a statement.
Ford, however, insists the vehicles are safe and that its investigation has "not found carbon monoxide levels that exceed what people are exposed to every day."
The allegations stemming from carbon monoxide in Police Interceptor Utilities were caused by "unsealed holes" from the installation of police equipment by third parties after the vehicle was purchased, Ford said.
Ford spokesperson Elizabeth Weigandt told Bloomberg Law Oct. 18 that the automaker won't comment on pending litigation.
"However, we have tested Police Interceptor Utilities with exhaust odor concerns, finding variable levels of carbon monoxide, depending on how well the rear of the vehicle was sealed after installation of police equipment. Unsealed holes can allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle during aggressive acceleration and high speed driving unique to police use," she said.
In July, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration upgraded its investigation into Ford Explorer sport utility vehicles, including police cruisers, based on more than 2,700 complaints.
In June, Ford's nationwide class settlement with owners of 2011-15 Ford Explorers with exhaust problems received final court approval in the Southern District of Florida. The deal, which covers 880,000 vehicles, requires Ford to fix affected vehicles or pay up to $175 for post-warranty "exhaust odor repairs."
The litigation by the two Austin police officers allege the Explorer vehicles were defectively designed, allowing gases, including carbon monoxide, to enter the passenger compartment.
Hancock and LaHood each seek $1 million in damages in their suits filed in the Texas District Court for Travis County. Both officers allege they became sick while driving; LaHood said he lost consciousness and nearly collided with an oncoming bus.
LaHood was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where he was diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning, according to the complaint. He alleges he suffered severe neurological injuries as a result of his exposure.
Reeves & Brightwell and Bisnar | Chase represent the plaintiffs.

Most people do not enjoy sitting in bottlenecked traffic on their commute to and from work. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average US daily commute time is 25.4 minutes. However, rush hour traffic can double or triple that daily commute time. Since 1982, traffic in every U.S. city has increased and this gridlock has negatively affected over 16 million Americans with road rage issues. You may have a dream job in the city but don't like the drive in to the office. There are several steps you can take to survive the daily commute to and from work.
See also: 5 Ways to Steal Back Time on Your Commute
1. Start with Technology
The first step to dealing with rush hour traffic is to research the best routes to and from work. If the route you are currently taking has heavy traffic during your commute time, you should check into alternate routes to take. Many of the highway routes are high-trafficked areas during regular commute times, so consider taking side roads. You will probably find traffic on these back roads as well, so it may take time to find the perfect route for your daily commute. Start by checking out Google Maps or MapQuest to figure out two or three alternate commute routes. Purchase a GPS navigation device like the Garmin or TomTom. If you'd rather utilize your mobile device, there are a variety of GPS navigation apps to use like Telenav or MapFactor.
2. Organize Your Morning
One way to survive your commute to work is to organize your morning. It is important to get up early enough to give yourself time to get ready in the morning. Leaving on time (and even a bit earlier than needed) will give you that extra time that traffic can take away from you. If you know you have given yourself ample time to arrive early to work, you will feel less stressed during the drive. Be sure to set your alarm clock or use one of the many available mobile alarm apps. Another cool option is to use a fitness wristband like the LarkLife Lark Band that not only monitors your daily diet and exercise, but also vibrates in the morning to noiselessly wake you up so you don't also wake your partner with an alarm.
3. Maximize Your Personal Development
Once you've ascertained the perfect route to eliminate some of the rush hour traffic and have tweaked your morning routine, you can work on maximizing your personal development. Rather than getting worked up and irritated while sitting in traffic, take the time to refocus your perspective as you drive. For example, use the time to listen to audiobooks or podcasts that are great for personal and professional development. PickTheBrain.com has compiled a listing of the top ten self-improvement podcasts that are available for free. Obviously, you cannot take notes. However, you are gaining valuable information while refocusing your perspective and maximizing your time when stuck in traffic.
4. Maximize Your Efficiency
Another way to survive rush hour traffic is to maximize your efficiency by effectively planning out your day. Obviously, you need to focus on driving and the road in front of you. However, sitting in traffic is a perfect opportunity to simply brainstorm. Think about various projects and tasks awaiting you at the office. Prioritize in your mind which tasks are the most important so that you are properly focused and ready to start working as soon as you arrive. You can use a hands-free voice memo app like the Dictaphone which is available on iOS devices. Lifehacker has a list of the best voice recording apps for iOS devices. You can easily refer to these recordings throughout the day and even email them to others in your office.
5. Decide to Carpool
This may not be an option for everyone. However, if you live close to some of your coworkers, you can opt to save in both driving responsibilities and transportation costs. Depending on how many people you can find to carpool with, you may have a few days free from driving. When you're not driving, you can use the time to talk or even catch up on work on your laptop or tablet. Driving with other people can become a pleasant distraction from having to sit in traffic.
Each individual needs to find the best way to handle rush hour traffic. What have you done to survive your daily commute without losing your mind?

I heard Pat and Ron mention today that through completion of yesterday's (4/18) games, the Cubs had seen the most pitches per plate appearance (P/PA) of any team in the majors this year. I frankly couldn't believe this, so I looked it up: it's true! The Cubs have seen 3.95 P/PA, the most in the majors. This is wonderful news, though I doubt that the Cubs will maintain their lead in this category all year: part of the rise can be attributed to a few players (Ramirez, most notably) taking more pitches than they have in the past, and they're probably bound to return to their old ways. Still, some of the rise is real, attributable to guys like Fukudome and Soto taking a lot more pitches than their predecessors at their respective positions. Fukudome sees 4.60 P/PA, which is simply astounding.
Not surprisingly, the Cubs have been taking a lot more walks this year than in years past. The offense as currently constructed impresses me with its versatility: there are three legitimate 30+ homer guys, three (or four) fast guys, and two super-patient guys (Lee and Fukudome). This is team that gets on base, hits for power, and can steal some bases and play "small ball" if absolutely necessary. If Ted Lilly can find his freakin' 2007 form, the Brewers will have a tough time keeping up (especially if Ben Sheets is really hurt).

Editor's note:
Concern about press corps patterns and practices had grown throughout the 1990s. Lazy thinking and careless habits were producing increasingly vacuous work. A herd of rude and worthless reporters reminded onlookers of Penelope's suitors. Several critiques of their work were presented, but their habits lingered on as before.
At a critical stage in their group devolution, a remarkably bold new plan was conceived, in a manner described in some detail by Mr. Somerby, the author of SOCRATES READS. Socrates of Athens, The Greatest of Greeks, was channeled to Washington to critique the corps' work. Applying the simplest rules of thought, The Great Greek would create an an astonishing portrait of the work of the Washington press corps.
The depression that naturally accompanies such a task returned Socrates to Olympus in 1998. But in the meantime, he created what surely will stand throughout time as the greatest single press corps critique ever crafted--the astounding review of the Washington press corps we now publish as SOCRATES READS.

Back in November, Doug Richards of WXIA/11 Alive originally reported on a trip taken by Attorney General Sam Olens to Florida. He took a free plane ride to Palm Beach with an Altria executive, Sean Collins. The correct forms were submitted by the proper parties. Don't get your knickers all in a knot, at least not yet.
AG Olens was traveling to a Republican Attorneys General Association conference. He used his flight time there and back again to basically lobby the lobbyist. Tobacco companies are trying awfully hard to reduce the settlement payments to states required by the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. Olens hoped to convince Altria not to challenge the Georgia settlement (and subsequent cash flow). The jury is still out on whether he made a difference.
The Daily Report contacted Olens' office and got basically the same answer from his communications officer, Lauren Kane.
Now here is where the tobacco side of the story gets more interesting. The month before Olens' free plane ride to Florida, Altria donated $40,000 to Casey Cagle's PAC. Who, by the way, came out against raising taxes on tobacco just a few weeks ago.
Again, all the proper forms were submitted by the proper parties. But don't you find it interesting that the lobbyist provided travel was reported at the state level, as required, whereas the MONEY was… not. And is NOT required at that level, since it is a donation to a PAC. Just that handy little IRS form will do.
Loop-hole? You betcha. The size of New Jersey.
Just sayin'…
In the meantime, Doug Richards, you keep right on scooping the rest of us.

Family fun this summer
There's so much to see and do at our special places in and around Shropshire this summer.
With outdoor trails, picnics and our '50 things to do before you're 11¾' activities, there's loads of fun adventures to be had. Why not have a swim in the reservoir at Carding Mill Valley, clamber up the tree hide in the woods at Moseley Old Hall or explore the the World War I trench at Powis Castle and Garden - these are just some of the experiences on offer.
Here's some inspiration for your visits...
