Under the Covers (of Snow) – Winter Real Estate Transaction Considerations #569
CATEGORY: Legally Speaking
TAGS: Due Diligence Property Damage Property Disclosure Property Disclosure Statement real estate transactions
As REALTORS® know better than anyone, real estate transactions happen 24/7 in all seasons. However, both buyers and sellers have a few additional considerations to keep in mind when a transaction happens in the winter months; therefore, so do their REALTORS®.
Impact on Property Features and Function
The law still very much recognizes the concept of "caveat emptor," and buyers have a fairly robust obligation to protect their own interests and make whatever investigations about a property they see fit before making an unconditional offer to purchase. That legal doctrine is not impacted by "hot markets" where it is challenging to find the time to do any significant due diligence or where subject conditions are not the norm. In other words, the burden to identify defects does not shift in hot markets to put any greater obligations on sellers or their REALTORS®.
That said, sellers and their REALTORS® have a duty to disclose to buyers any issues or defects that they are or should reasonably be aware of.1 Where knowledge of known defects has been purposely withheld, the doctrine of caveat emptor no longer applies, and the parties who withheld that information may be liable for any resulting damages if a claim is made.2
Wintertime sales may complicate what needs to be disclosed or what can be discovered, given the impact of winter weather. Is snow covering one or more areas of the property, such as a garden, foundation, or roof, that may hide deficiencies? Are there systems such as air conditioning, outdoor pools, water features, or irrigation that do not normally function in the winter? Are certain areas of a property, such as crawlspaces, simply not accessible due to snow, ice, or other winter issues?
Again, a seller and their REALTOR® do not need to disclose anything other than known issues or issues that should reasonably have been discovered in the circumstances because of a seller's experience with a related problem or red flags that reasonably require investigation. However, buyers should be aware that they, or their building inspector, may not be able to collect as much information about a property in the winter, which may result in a failure to identify defects that will only reveal themselves as the weather warms.
Buyers can mitigate against the impact of wintertime limitations by either trying to include warranties by the seller(s) in the Contract of Purchase and Sale as to the working condition and/or maintenance history of specific systems or adding holdbacks on the purchase price to use for repairs if there are significant or potentially costly concerns. These terms require an agreement by the seller, of course, but may be worth raising with the seller or their REALTOR® if the circumstances merit. It is unlikely that most buyers will be aware of or consider these mitigation options; therefore, they will be relying on their REALTOR® to suggest them and advise.
Another way for buyers to potentially discover issues is a careful review of the Property Disclosure Statement with their REALTOR®. Where a seller has disclosed an issue with the property in question, this will likely require follow up questions to determine the scope and impact of the issue, particularly where further testing or inspection is not possible given weather or market factors. For example, a buyer’s REALTOR® can ask for more details about when and how the seller discovered the issue, as well as for any repair estimates, scope of repair work the seller has considered, or prior repair details and cost, if available.
It should be noted that features or systems that generally operate seasonally may also create issues when a property that contains a cold weather system or feature is sold in the summer (heat pump, heated driveway systems, temperature monitoring systems). However, given the prospect of a physical cover over the property in the form of snow or ice, weather-hidden issues may be more likely to arise in the winter months.
Impact on Due Diligence
Another issue to consider, on both the buyer's and the seller's sides, when dealing with wintertime sales is the timing and ability to access due diligence information. Contracts of Purchase and Sale often contain subject conditions requiring disclosure of municipal or other property records held by third parties. They may require authorizations be granted to a buyer or to their REALTOR® to access various records about a property during the buying process. REALTORS® for both buyers and sellers should take care to ensure that their clients are given enough time to provide and/or access the records at issue. Many municipal and other governmental or quasi-governmental offices shut down or operate on reduced hours over the holiday season. Those potential shutdowns should be discussed with clients and considered when determining the appropriate time limits for the provision and access to property records. Market conditions may require a faster due diligence period than what otherwise may be ideal, but REALTORS® should assist their clients in weighing potential winter-related delays against them.
No time is a bad time to buy or sell real estate. However, transactions in the winter involve a few additional considerations to ensure that a property keeps its winter wonderland status after the snow melts.
|REALTORS® acting for buyers also have a duty to disclose any defects with a property that they are aware of to their clients, though this comes up more often in the context of listing REALTORS® since they are normally more familiar with the property and are in direct communication with those who know the property best – the sellers.

AMC is digging deeper into the Western genre.
With Hell on Wheels alive and thriving on Saturday nights, Deadline reports AMC is looking to bolster its Western lineup with The Son, based on the novel of the same name written by Philipp Meyer.
The project will be produced by Sonar Entertainment and Meyer himself, alongside Hemlock Grove developers Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy.
The Son is described as "an epic of the American West and a multi-generational saga of power, blood, land and oil that follows the rise of one unforgettable Texas family, from the Comanche raids of the 1800s to the to the oil booms of the 20th century."
Between Hell on Wheels, upcoming comic book adaptation Preacher and now The Son, AMC seems rather high on the Western right now.

NaturalNano Struggles to Survive
(Nanowerk News) A struggling Pittsford nanomaterials company hopes to start selling its clay-based materials additive in substantial amounts by the end of the year — if it survives that long.
NaturalNano Inc. indicated in its annual report, issued Friday, that it needs to raise $5 million by May 15 to keep going. That date is the point at which the small company will run out of money, the annual report said.
NaturalNano's stock took a beating on the latest news, closing Friday at 5 cents a share — down 1 cent, or 17 percent.
It had been trading as high as 38 cents a share in early 2007.
According to the annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company has racked up losses of $17.4 million through the end of 2007 and expects to continue in the red through 2008.
The report indicates the company does not expect to start making enough money to fund the business until 2009 at the earliest.
According to the annual report, NaturalNano hopes to raise the $5 million either through sale of more stock or through borrowing.
The company, which employs 11 in Pittsford and Henrietta, makes Pleximer — microscopic tubes of halloysite clay mixed into polymer.
According to NaturalNano, adding Pleximer to other plastic products makes them lighter and more durable at a much cheaper cost than other nanotube additives.
One of the company's top goals for 2007 was getting Pleximer to market — something it did in the fourth quarter of the year.
The company said it earned nominal revenue from selling Pleximer last year.

The new personalised services include Cobo Wallet-as-a-service and Cobo Staking-as-a-service. The former aims to help lower barriers for new blockchain business, and the latter is designed to provide institutional customers with digital asset storage services and value-added digital assets services, the company said.
Cobo’s chief technology officer Jiang Changhao said as the blockchain sector is still at the early stage of development, many entrepreneurs need to spent a huge amount of money on the construction of basic infrastructure.
“The Cobo WaaS aims to reduce 90 per cent of the costs for those blockchain entrepreneurs,” Jiang said. “It will help blockchain startups streamline operations and build the infrastructure.”
Combining the application of distributed data storage, encryption algorithms and other advanced technologies, blockchain offers an open and decentralised database of any transaction involving money, goods, property and more.
It provides a high level of security by creating a record whose authenticity could be verified by the whole community.
Cobo said the Cobo WaaS and Cobo StaaS are innovative services based on its custodial service, dubbed Cobo Custody. Through the decentralised storage of private keys in North America, Europe, Oceania and other regions in the globe, the new services will help protect the digital assets from the physical and systemic risks.
“Currently, staking has become the next target for many big name investors,” Jiang added. “More than 80 per cent of proof-of-stake blockchain projects and 40 per cent of token suppliers have participated in the staking economy.”
Mao Shixing, Cobo’s chief executive officer, said with the booming staking economy, professional services digital assets custodial services will go mainstream.
Founded in 2017, the Beijing-headquartered company aims to be a one-stop shop for everything crypto. Its flagship software wallet, Cobo wallet, offers proof-of-stake pooling services. And the company also has also released an advanced military-grade cryptocurrency hardware wallet.
Last year, the company raised $13 million in its latest Series A financing, led by Danhua Capital and Wu Capital.


This is a sort of remake of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, with the races of the young couple swapped.
However, the intervening forty years have brought massive changes to the mores of society, and this is reflected in the mores of the movie. The triumph of the sexual revolution that was just beginning there is now complete: normalized, institutionalized, expected: fornication, cross-dressing, girls talking about things I can’t mention on a blog, and vulgarities too numerous to list assault the viewer. The disrespect of parents begun there continues, as both girl and mother shush the father (Bernie Mac) (22). In addition, the stereotype reversal continues as before: it is the Negro father who is concerned about a young man having a job and good credit.
Unlike the 1967 version, Christianity has crept back into the picture a bit: the family actually says grace before the meal. But the tacit assumptions of the surrounding culture are such that this is Christianity in its most purely antinomian form. The outward blustery concern to prevent fornication under his roof still, in the end, is surrounded by a wink-wink acceptance of the ethical presuppositions of it. Even the man-made “law” that is invoked — “there’s no liquor: this is a Christian home…” — has to be modified a moment later when liquor is discovered: “… full of sinners.”
As a result, where GWCTD was pure evil, this movie is too vulgar and trivial to be worthy of such a verdict. It is too small and idiotic to rise to the level of real evil.
I don’t bother to summarize the plot. There is no plot. It is only to point out the hypocritical asymmetry of racial reference that I mention the film at all.
They are sitting around the table, and they decide to swap jokes of racial reference. White boy Ashton Kutcher describes several race jokes from his circle, but, beyond belief, always uses the term black man, never nigger. But grandpappy comes back with all of these terms:
- wonder bread
and even the completely made-up, Bird $h!t.
In short, the film is hypocritical and dishonest. Though it tricks a laugh or two out of you, it is such a sustained assault on the sensibilities that I cannot recommend a viewing. I felt the need to mention it at all only as a reading of the barometer of our popular culture.

At Maria Vargas' funeral, several people recall who she was and the impact she had on them. Harry Dawes was a not very successful writer/director when he and movie producer Kirk Edwards scouted her at a shabby nightclub where she worked as a flamenco dancer. He convinces her to take a chance on acting and her first film is a huge hit. PR man Oscar Muldoon remembers when Maria was in court supporting her father who was accused of murdering her mother. It was Maria's testimony that got him off and she was a bigger star than ever. Alberto Bravano, one of the richest men is South America, sets his sights on Maria she goes off with him - as much to make Edwards angry as anything - but he treats her badly. When she meets Count Vincenzo Torlato-Favrini they fall deeply in love. They are married but theirs is not to be a happy life. Written by
Mankiewicz wanted James Mason, whom he had just directed in "Julius Caesar," for the part of the nobleman. MGM executive Nicholas Schenck, who had had a vehement disagreement with the director, would not release Mason for the film. According to Mankiewicz, he ended up with Rossano Brazzi, "who cannot act, cannot be sensual... could hardly speak English..." Ironically, Rosemary Matthews, who was hired to help Brazzi with his English, and Mankiewicz later married. See more »

This film covers a lot of the same themes as Sunset Boulevard, though in my opinion that film is more riveting than this one. It's hard to believe Bogart got top billing for this one since this film clearly revolves around Ava Gardner's Maria Vargas. In fact I think you could plug practically anyone world-weary and haggard into Bogart's role and the film wouldn't lose much. I guess they felt they needed his starpower to sell the movie. He just doesn't have much to do in this film. On the other hand Edmond O'Brien is truly memorable as the sweaty publicist. He deserved the Oscar he got for the role. Maria's relationship with Count Favrini seemed a bit rushed but not to the point that it is totally unbelieveable. Afterall Maria's whole life is supposed to be a fairy tale. I wish somehow they could've developed the role of Kirk Edwards. He came across as one-dimensional. This film being so old, there is no commentary to explain the purpose for this or whether it was by design at all. Despite my complaints, I still enjoyed the film and appreciated its message, 8/10.

When it comes to eating, those living in Detroit do so in two different culinary worlds. For evidence, check out the menu options and store shelves in Midtown and downtown. You'll find baked Brie with mango chutney at Seva; smoked Skuna Bay salmon at Chartreuse; organic and fresh everything at Whole Foods. Compare that to what those living in the area of Seven Mile and Mound roads can easily access: chips and pre-packaged processed food at Citgo; and coney dogs and deep fried everything from Lou's Coney Island.
The divide in eating appears to be worsening despite Detroit's alleged renaissance. That's a problem, and to understand what's behind the dining dichotomy, we met with several local food leaders at the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network's office in northwest Detroit for a conversation on the city's wide ranging "food justice" issues, what that phrase means in Detroit, and the forces impacting how most Detroiters eat in 2017.
Unsurprisingly, the larger problems that plagued Detroit for decades are largely to blame for the city's persistent food issues: land ownership, water shut-offs, mass foreclosures, power, institutional racism, white flight, white return, Detroit Public Schools, a renaissance structured to largely benefit people of means, and so on.
Among those who took part in the conversation were Malik Yakini of the Food Security Network; Marilyn "Nefer Ra" Barber, agricultural training coordinator at Earthworks Urban Farm and Capuchin Soup Kitchen; Shane Bernardo, outreach coordinator at Earthworks Farm; and William Copeland, climate justice director of the East Michigan Environmental Action Council.
We invite those involved in the neighborhood's food community to write for us, or to send along story tips: [email protected].
Metro Times: "Food justice" can be sort of a nebulous term. What is its definition?
Malik Yakini: Food justice is people being treated justly by all of the venues that they interact with to obtain food. The other part of food justice has to do with economic justice. That when people spend money on food, they need to derive some benefits from the money that they spend beside just trading food for money.
I would say access is key, upholding people's dignity is key, and the economic justice part of it is key. Food justice also necessitates that workers within the food system are paid a fair and livable wage and are treated with dignity. Finally, food justice requires that food is produced in a way that is sustainable and affirms our responsibility to be good stewards of the earth.
Shane Bernardo: In a sound bite: addressing historic and systemic disparities around power that manifest itself in the food system.
It can look all kinds of different ways when you talk about disparities of power and the intersectionality of systems of oppression, the institution of white supremacy, racism, patriarchy, and white heteronormativity.
MT: What are the most pressing issues in Detroit's food system?
Yakini: Access to high quality food. If you were to walk around in this neighborhood and try to find some high quality food, you would have a very difficult time.
Marilyn Barber: Our community, we get the byproduct, we get the hamburger, fast-food joints serving mystery meats. We don't know what's in it. Often you find places that sell hot dogs that are, I don't know, two packs for $1. Well, if you have a family of five, then that's a good deal because you can feed your children, but then, what are you really feeding them? What chemicals are in them? It's like we get the waste of the good, quality meat that you'll find in the suburbs.
Yakini: Particularly in African-American communities, we see other ethnic groups monopolize the retail food economy ... and we see very little circulation of the stores' wealth in our communities, no jobs are created, it doesn't promote ownership or community empowerment, and that's the same as it was with colonialism.
In Detroit, we also have this problem with huge disrespect on the part of far too many of the merchants, particularly in the smaller stores where you can't even get a "thank you" after your purchase.
Bernardo: Up until three years ago, the only black-owned grocery store in Michigan was in Detroit, and that's just incredible to fathom, particularly in a city that's majority black.
Yakini: There's the aspect of the workers within the food system who are largely not paid livable wages, whether it's people harvesting crops in California, people working in meat packing plants, or in a restaurant in Detroit, where you have people working below minimum wage...
Bernardo: There's a system in place that benefits large corporations. We have 80 percent of the country's produce grown by 12 percent of the farms, and these mega farms that are growing all of our food — a lot of it is being turned into food products, turned into processed food, and a lot of that is consumed by low-income communities, and that's what we have around us. On the way here, I don't know how many fast-food restaurants I passed.
William Copeland: There have been tens of thousands of water shut-offs across the city. What happens to food employees if they don't have water in their houses? You think they shower or wash their clothes? There are public health questions related to shutting water off that are ignored that relate to the food system.
MT: What's the root of the issues?
Bernardo: Power. I would venture to focus in on power around our most basic needs, whether it's transportation, food, shelter, water, centers of learning, or governance. It's disparities of power within all these institutions. One that has been under attack is Detroit Public Schools. You heard the appointment of Betsy DeVos ... and all that has a legacy effect, a generational effect on young people, and precludes them from having upward mobility in society. So their fates are already determined, not just around food security and physical health, but other ways as well.
Yakini: The struggle for food justice has to be weighted to the struggle against poverty. Even if you have so-called "access," if you don't have money to buy high quality food, then you still don't have "access." There all these intersections. It's not just food, it's tied into everything else.
"Up until three years ago, the only black-owned grocery store in Michigan was in Detroit, and that's just incredible to fathom, particularly in a city that's majority black."
Bernardo: The word "control" is important when we understand justice issues as disparities of power. When we have less control around our basic needs and institutions ... we get these disparities in power that cause chronic health issues and problems and so on.
MT: There seems to be a huge disparity in the food systems in greater downtown and most of the neighborhoods. It's tied to some of the things that we already touched on, but what else is fueling that?
Yakini: Downtown, so-called "Midtown," Corktown, and the so-called "villages" — most of the rest of the city is left to languish, but that's based on the philosophy of city planners and elected officials whose training suggest the way for them to stimulate economic development is to start with very wealthy people and create large developments, and somehow, miraculously, this wealth will trickle down and we'll all benefit from it. I think this is fallacious thinking.
You really can't understand Detroit without understanding the social construct of race, and how that's played out over the last 60 years, with the tremendous amount of white flight in the '50s, '60s, '70s, and now many of the children of those who fled coming back into the city with resources to open restaurants, so that's a factor too.
MT: These are super complex issues tied to larger ingrained and structural problems. How do we even begin addressing them?
Barber: We do what we can in the food movement. I'm just trying to get people to eat healthy. It starts with children eating healthy. If they're not eating right and they're addicted to junk food, then they don't even know what real food is, so we have to reintroduce them to eating healthy and eating food that's closer to the land.
Bernardo: We have to find more cooperative and egalitarian ways of accessing land.
Yakini: How do you have justice on stolen land? It's kind of like a relative justice. This is a settler colony essentially. How do you make that just? It's almost like that thing has to be dismantled, if we're really talking about justice.
MT: What are some of the positive developments you see?
Barber: Community gardens are a great place to start. Our neighborhoods have been so chopped up with vacant houses that when there's a community garden ... it's an invitation for the community to come together, and it brings the neighbor back to the hood. It's like the original neighborhood watch ... and you see who's in your neighborhood, see what's going on.
Bernardo: This is not new, but one of the characteristics of Detroit is that we make a way out of no way. There are many examples, like with the Water Warriors. People activated ... water stations where people can come get clean water to feed, clean, bathe, cook with, because they're dealing with challenges around keeping water on or getting it put back on.
Yakini: There would be no vibrant restaurant movement in Detroit if it weren't for the grassroots urban ag movement. What happens is grassroots level solutions bubble up, then the capitalists see that energy developing and say, "Oh, well, we can come in and do that same thing, and do it on a large scale with lots of money." But it's based on the people who were already there and doing it all along.
Bernardo: The movement for the community benefits ordinance was important, but was prohibited by City Councilman Scott Benson ... We need these efforts, these movements that are centered around taking back control of development and other things in the city, back to where there's more public accountability and control.

I loved the "Cirque du Freak" books, loved "The Maze Runner," and especially loved "Mockingjay;" it was a great end to the trilogy. I didn't like "We Were the Mulvaneys;" I found it really depressing.
I'll be checking in here for more book recommendations, although I really don't need to add anything else onto my ever-expanding list of books to read.

President Bush is no chump. He has figured out how to emasculate the Democrats (those that aren’t already eunuchs). Instead of making a decent estimate of the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and asking for it up front for the 2008 fiscal year, he is asking for it piecemeal, giving Democrats opportunity after opportunity to turn him down and end it all, knowing all the while that they’ll cave and give him his war money.
Each time he does this, and each time House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s minions deliver, the Democrats sink in public esteem, to the point that they’re now approaching single-digit approval ratings.
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT), a veteran legislator and son of a senator, and a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, has shown, however, how to fight back. Not on the war funding, although he claims to want the war ended immediately, but on the issue of the Constitution, and specifically the warrantless spying on Americans by the National Security Agency.
Dodd, last week, announced that he was placing a “hold” on new permanent legislation developed by the Democrats, in coordination with some Senate Republicans, saying he would not let it pass unless a provision granting immunity to telecom companies that had been aiding the NSA in their spying activities was removed. He vowed to filibuster the bill if his colleagues tried to move it to a vote.
In so doing, he gave the lie to the fraud that has been perpetrated by Pelosi and Reid that they and the Democrats are “powerless” to stop the war unless they have “60 votes” in the Senate. (That canard has been spouted so many times, and repeated so often uncritically in the media, that many Americans now actually think it takes 60 votes, not a simple majority of 51, to pass legislation in the US Senate!)
What Pelosi and Reid are alluding to actually is the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture on a filibuster. They are claiming that efforts to end the war cannot succeed because any bill calling for withdrawal would be filibustered by Republicans and that the Democrats, with a 51-majority caucus in the Senate, could not stop a filibuster. Dodd, however, is showing that they can prevent bad legislation by being the ones doing the filibustering, and that they then only need 41 votes–something they clearly could muster if the party’s leadership were behind it.
So Dodd is testing out this theory on the stinking betrayal of a bill the Democrats have come up with for the NSA. If he succeeds in blocking that bill, he will finally have to put his money where his mouth is, and anti-war bonifides by placing a similar hold on Bush’s new request for $46 billion more for the Iraq War.
That in turn would put the Democrats to the test. If, after running a campaign last fall promising they would end Bush’s war, and after failing miserably to do so for the past 10 months in power in Congress, they did not support a filibuster against further funding, they would stand exposed as the worst kind of charlatans and fraudsters.
Dodd, meanwhile, just two and a half months ahead of the start of the primary season, has a golden chance to vault himself to the head of the Democratic pack by making a genuine, concrete effort to end the war.
It wouldn’t matter if he failed. If Sen. Dodd were to put a hold on funding for the war, and were then to stand in the well of the Senate and filibuster any effort to pass such a bill, forcing his Democratic colleagues to expose themselves finally as being either for ending the war or continuing it, he would be an instant star of the anti-war movement. The 80-90 percent of Democrats who are opposed to the war would stampede to his support. Obama and Clinton, who are in the Senate with Dodd, would be forced to decide whether they wanted to continue to play to the party’s right wing and its corporate funders, or whether they would cast their lot with the peace wing.
So Sen. Dodd, this is it. Blocking the NSA from spying on us without probable cause is a good thing, and we thank you for that. But there is an even more urgent matter: Americans and innocent Iraqis are dying every day in a criminal and pointless war. If you can use Senate privilege to block the NSA bill, you can use it to block further funding for the Iraq War. And if you really want to end that war, as you keep saying you do, you have proven that you have the power to do it.
Are you just another big talker, or are you going to do it?

WHS BOYS' BASKETBALL: Trojans push winning streak to fiveWORTHINGTON — The two hottest teams in the Southwest Conference met Tuesday night in boys’ basketball action, as Worthington and Jackson County Central each brought four-game winning streaks to the basketball court.
WORTHINGTON — The two hottest teams in the Southwest Conference met Tuesday night in boys’ basketball action, as Worthington and Jackson County Central each brought four-game winning streaks to the basketball court.
The Trojans looked like the only team on a win streak, routing Jackson County Central 72-57.
“We did enough good things throughout the ballgame to extend our lead and get it to a comfortable point,” WHS coach Ron Vorwald said. “Jackson played extremely hard.
“Our guys at times looked like they had cement in their shoes, but we did enough good things. Lucas (Henning) shot the ball well and we got the ball inside to Mitch (Weg).”
Mitch Weg had 27 points and 17 rebounds, Lucas Henning had 23 points, Morgan Traylor had eight points and four rebounds and Marcus Potter had five points and five assists to lead the Trojans (15-5, 7-3).
JCC (7-15, 2-9) was led by Jon Harmening (17 points) and Darnell Taylor-Breck (12 points).
Worthington jumped out to a 14-7 lead after a 3-point play by Weg, who scored 11 of the Trojans’ first 14 points to start off the game. JCC answered with a 7-2 run to cut the deficit to two.
After a Jon Harmening drive to the basket made it 22-21 Worthington, the Trojans went on a 15-5 run behind two of Henning’s five 3-pointers in the game, four points from Jon Reller, a triple from Spencer Grafing and a layup from Weg.
JCC would cut the deficit to six (40-34), but the Trojans hit four free throws before the half to make it a 10-point cushion at the break.
“You always want to start building momentum going into the tournament,” Weg said. “Everyone wants to start getting hot and playing their best basketball now, so you can’t be losing games at this point in the year.”
It took nearly five minutes for the Trojans to get a field goal to start off the second half, but JCC could not capitalize, only inching within seven of the Trojans at 44-37.
The Trojans would answer with a 16-7 run behind four points from Traylor, five points from Henning, a putback from Weg, three points from Potter and a basket from Grafing.
A 3-pointer from Taylor-Breck made it a nine-point game (60-51) with 5:33 remaining, but Henning and Weg slammed the door shut. Weg drove twice and scored, Henning hit two jumpers, Weg had a putback and hit two free throws and the Trojans closed the game on a 12-4 run.
“We’ve been playing pretty good lately,” Henning said. “We just keep trying to get better every day.
“It’s coming down to the end of the year and we want to go deep into our section. We’re all clicking. We need to keep playing hard the whole game and keep pressure on them.”
JCC had twice as many turnovers as Worthington, as the Trojans forced 24, while giving up the ball just 12 times.
“It’s all about defense,” Weg said. “It’s all about rotation, hard work and practicing where to be.”
Worthington will host rival Marshall Thursday. The Trojans are a game back of the Tigers for the second-place spot in the Southwest Conference and know they have their work cut out for them.
“We’re certainly going to have to play better Thursday night than we did tonight and our guys know that,” Vorwald said. “Tomorrow we need to get back to work for Marshall on Thursday.
“We’ll be ready.”
JCC will play at Redwood Valley — who sits atop the Southwest Conference — Friday.
JCC 34 23 — 57
WHS 44 28 — 72

Spinach Pizza with Red Pepper <3s
Banana Split Pudding Brownies
I stayed home from work yesterday partly because of the weather and partly because I wasn't feeling well. My doctor thinks I have an ulcer so I've been eating some really bland food lately. Poor M has been suffering through steamed veggies and rice for too long! I had to make him something really fantastic, so I made this great pizza and his favorite brownies. Nothing says 'I love you' like some comfort food, right?
Valentine's Day is an extra special day for us. 4 years ago on February 14th, M asked me to marry him in the restaurant we had our first date at. I accepted and have been playing the happy role of fiancee ever since. We're procrastinators, so we really haven't planned anything for a wedding until the past few weeks. We're looking to get married this October. How exciting!
Now for all of my married buddies, does anyone have any helpful hints for the reception/ceremony/etc? I look to you all for guidance! :)

Embattled Canadian construction firm SNC-Lavalin today promoted Ian L. Edwards to the post of interim president and chief executive officer to replace Neil Bruce, a British construction executive whom the company said was retiring effective immediately.
The surprise move, which caused an uptick in its share price, comes as the company is due in court on 28 June to face fraud and corruption charges. Prosecutors allege that former executives bribed officials in Libya to win contracts under the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, and also that they defrauded Libyan officials.
Pleading not guilty to the charges laid in 2015, the company has campaigned to be allowed to defer prosecution in exchange for fines, remediation and cooperation under a new scheme set up by the Canadian government for that purpose. However, Canada’s director of public prosecutions refused any such deal.
A political scandal then erupted over allegations that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pressured the attorney general, MP Jody Wilson-Raybould, to allow SNC-Lavalin to avoid prosecution by participating in the scheme. She and another minister resigned from Trudeau’s cabinet over the matter, and have since been expelled from the governing Liberal Party.
Hope of avoiding a damaging trial evaporated on 29 May when a Quebec judge ruled there was enough evidence to send the corruption case to trial.
This week SNC-Lavalin asked for more time in deciding whether to face a jury or a judge in the trial.
Neil Bruce has complained that the corruption charges had cost the company "probably in excess of C$5 billion" in lost orders from wary clients. SNC-Lavalin maintains it has completely transformed itself since the corruption scandal ballooned in 2012.
Outside the corruption saga, SNC-Lavalin’s business has been suffering. Shares plummeted almost a third in January after it warned that its 2018 results would be hit by problems on a mining contract, and revealed an impairment charge of C$1.24bn in its Oil & Gas unit due to tensions between Canada and Saudi Arabia, where 15% of the company’s global staff work.
In May the company said it would pull out of 15 countries and avoid lump-sum EPC projects after making a net loss of US$13m in the first quarter of 2019. (See Further reading.)
Neil Bruce, who was executive director at British firm Amec before joining SNC-Lavalin as chief operating officer in 2015, will "return to his family in the UK", the company said, but will remain as an advisor to the board until the end of the year.
His replacement, Ian L. Edwards, has been chief operating officer since January. SNC-Lavalin said Edwards "has taken the lead in executing the initiative to simplify, focus, and grow the business".
In the next 60 days he will review the company’s strategy to "develop a plan for sustainable success, that de-risks and simplifies our business model and generates consistent earnings and cash flow", said SNC-Lavalin.
A member of the Chartered Institute of Building and a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Edwards joined SNC-Lavalin in 2014 from the Leighton Group where he was managing director of Leighton Asia, India and Offshore.
SNC-Lavalin board chairman Kevin Lynch praised departing Neil Bruce.
"We very much benefited from Neil’s leadership over the past four years," he said. "His commitment to the Company, developing a world-class ethics and compliance regime, his leading role in the signature acquisition of Atkins, renewing the management team and delivering high levels of backlog have all been very important to SNC-Lavalin. We wish him well and the best in his retirement."
Neil Bruce commented: "In the past five years we have achieved much at SNC-Lavalin and I am leaving behind a business that is larger, more diverse, more international than the one I joined, as well as one that has a deeply embedded world-class approach to ethics. I am delighted that Ian has agreed to take the Company forward. His in-depth knowledge of the business, industry expertise and leadership skills will bode well for the future. I would like to thank all the employees for being such a great team, the top in the industry and I wish them all the very best."

Not long after the election results were finally projected (go ahead and break that glass ceiling hunty!), we ordered take-out from Happy Panda and, subsequently, spent the next several days not cooking. I stretched my first order of Moo Shu Pork over a couple meals and slurped a spicy bowl of Mala Chicken the following rainy day and even utilized the last portion of rice for Dixon’s weekly meals. After the take-out was gone, we still indulged in several no cook nights. I dunno if the current political circus or the unyielding humidity had anything to do with our culinary apathy or if perhaps the gray, gloomy days were to blame but neither of us felt like cooking much of anything.
Then, the sun came back out, we hit the trails again, and made an impromptu shopping trip to Sprouts Farmers Market. If you’ve never had the pleasure of shopping at Sprouts, then I highly recommend you check them out! I picked up a couple packages of microgreens, pork chops, jalapeno bread, and maybe too much bulk chocolate malt balls. It’s difficult to not buy all the things whenever we go to Sprouts, as there are so many amazing options available from skin care products, pet food, vegan/gluten free items, organic and local options, as well as a deli and bulk section.
The Sprouts excursion motivated me to get back into the kitchen and this pork chop dinner enticed its way out of my imagination. It’s sweet and salty with just a hint of heat. The days are finally sunny again but the temps have dropped back down, and, after walking the chilly, waterlogged trails, a comforting evening meal is a must have for us. This dinner did not disappoint! There’s a bit of prep work required, but, after taking several days off from cooking, I definitely didn’t mind the effort.
2 thick cut bone-in pork chops
2 red pears
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/4 cup agave syrup
1/4 cup Kosher salt
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 cup Crown Salted Caramel Whiskey
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 /2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 sm honeynut squash
1/4 cup shredded Cabot Horseradish cheddar, optional
1/2 – 1 tsp prepared horseradish or to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the brine: in a stock pot bring about 3 cups of water to a boil over high flame. Add to that the agave syrup and salt. Stir until both are dissolved. Turn off the heat and add the pears and rosemary. Transfer brine to a large bowl with a lid and allow it to completely cool. Once cool, add the pork chops. If the chops aren’t completely submerged, then add more cold water. Secure the lid then transfer the chops to the fridge and brine for no less than 1 hour and up to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the honeynut squash in half, spoon out the seeds and membranes, then place skin side down on a baking or casserole dish. Drizzle olive oil over the squash and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast until the squash is very tender, about 30 minutes. Set aside and allow the squash to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a small stock pot over med high flame add the whiskey, stock, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and Dijon. Whisk until well incorporated. Reduce flame to low and simmer until it has reduce to a glaze, about 20 – 30 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Set aside.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high flame. Add about 1 tbsp of olive oil and heat until the oil is just shimmering. Meanwhile, remove the pork chops from the brine. Discard the brine. Lightly salt and pepper the chops on all sides. Sear in the hot oil about 3 minutes per side or until a nice golden brown color is reached. Transfer to the oven and roast the chops until an internal temperature of at least 150 degrees is reached at the thickest portion of the chop. Remove the pork chops, transfer to a clean surface, and rest no less than 10 minutes. Warm the glaze back up, if needed, and spoon a generous amount over the pork chops. Garnish with microgreens. Serve immediately with Honeynut Horseradish Polenta. Recipe follows.
To prepare the polenta: mash the roast honeynut squash with a fork or potato masher until very smooth. Set aside.
Cook polenta per package directions.
Once the polenta has thickened, turn off the flame, and stir in the shredded cheese, horseradish, and honeynut squash. Generously salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed. Serve immediately with extra black pepper, if desired.
Oh, we’re about to embark on a camping trip, as our nine year wedding anniversary is just around the corner and outdoor camping seems safer than hotels right now. So, several live fire recipes coming soon!


Plumes of smoke could be seen in the Scottish city as emergency services scrambled.
Worried locals said “it was a massive big boom” that “sounded like a gas explosion”.
People in the city were also reporting house and car alarms ringing straight after the loud bang.
It was later found the suspected gas explosion took place at a scrapyard on the outskirts of the city on the banks of the River Clyde.
STV News then reported a Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We were called at 3.30pm to a report of an explosion at a factory.
"Officers are at the scene."
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman added: "We are in attendance at the moment and investigations are being carried out."
People near the reported scene of the explosion said the bang left nearby buildings shaking.
One wrote added: "I'm actually in a building on South Street.
"I really felt it, the building shook.
"Everyone is outside trying to work out what's going on."
Another said: "I work in the shipyard in Govan and our building was shaking.
"We saw a cloud of smoke not far from our yard."

Real estate sector needs FDI fillip
The trends seen since 2005, when the real estate sector was opened up to foreign investment, indicate that FDI could be a significant source of funds for the real estate sector. Current FDI regulations for the sector stipulate certain conditions, such as minimum area to be developed, minimum capitalisation requirements, lock-in and so on, that have been put in place from the perspective of preventing speculation in the sector.
Such conditions, however, pose challenges for FDI inflows into various projects, where given the nature of projects, it may not be possible to comply with such conditions. Accordingly , regulators may consider providing adequate flexibility in the policy framework to increase the flow of FDI into such projects. We have highlighted some aspects regulators should consider.
The FDI regulations currently in force allow an entity to receive FDI in construction development only if the minimum built-up area of the project is 50,000 square metres. Such a condition can prove unrealistic for some developers, especially those in metro (tier-I ) cities where large parcels of land are difficult to acquire and prices are exorbitant.
But given the high cost of construction, projects in such cities need foreign funds. Further, it is also unlikely that an affordable housing project would require more than 50,000 square metres of development. Thus, to effectively promote affordable housing projects, especially in tier-I cities, the minimum area requirement for such projects in the FDI policy need to be lowered.
Work on many projects by Indian developers came to a grinding halt for want of funds and customer demand amid the global financial crisis of 2008-09 . The global economy is now recovering and the work on many of these incomplete projects have picked up. Foreign funds and investors, too, have begun to show increased interest in these brownfield projects. Unfortunately, we have not been able to capitalise on this opportunity as investors are not clear whether FDI is be permitted in brownfield projects . Having said that, I reiterate the famous words of former American President Thomas Jefferson: "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." The government can consider imposing certain restrictions and allow FDI inflows into brownfield projects subject to specified conditions.
Further, there is no denying that real estate is a complex sector and for any project to take-off , clearances are needed from multiple government agencies. And so, coordination between joint venture partners becomes extremely essential for successful completion of projects. Many real estate projects have failed to take-off due to the delay in obtaining statutory clearances and conversion of land usage.
In some instances, projects have failed due to conflict between joint venture partners. Therefore, it is necessary that the FDI policy for investing in real estate should provide investors exit options. The current FDI regulations provide for a three-year lock-in for each tranche of foreign investment, and early exit needs government approval. The process can be simplified by defining specific cases where a foreign partner can be allowed to exit a project early without necessarily seeking approval.
Recently, the government allowed development of projects with mixed use — development of hotel along with a housing/commercial complex, etc. Herein lies a source of potential conflict in interpreting regulations. The FDI policy for investment in hotels and hospitals is far less stringent than the one for housing projects.
In case of such mixed use projects, where the majority of built-up area goes towards development of hotel or hospital, there is lack of clarity which provisions of the FDI policy would apply to the project — those for hotels and hospital or those for housing projects. Adequate clarity under the policy, specifying applicability of regulations in case of mixed-use project, would be welcome. Regulators may consider providing adequate checks such as the nature of project licence, percentage of area allocable for development of hotels, hospitals, etc to prevent any misuse of such relaxation.
Real estate is a key growth driver for the Indian economy and the industry has significant backward and forward linkages with the economy. Adequate relaxation in current FDI policy could foster significant opportunities for growth and investment in the sector. The government's concerns about keeping a strict vigil on inflow of funds into the real estate sector is well appreciated, but it should consider certain relaxations to provide a fillip to FDI in the real estate sector. Adequate checks and balances can prevent misuse of these relaxations.
