April 08 2002 - Parents of Grown Children Can Sue for Wrongful Death
The parents of a 22-year-old bicyclist who was run down in a Seattle crosswalk can sue the driver for wrongful death, a ruling yesterday that may finally give legal recourse to other Washington parents whose adult-aged children are killed.
Until now, state law has prevented parents from suing those who might be responsible unless the child was a dependent under age 18. Yesterday, King County Superior Court Judge Kathleen Learned ruled that a 1998 change in the law means parents can sue regardless.
For the parents of Yianni Philippides, who died in June 2000, one week after he was hit by a sport-utility vehicle driven by an out-of-town businessman, the ruling was a sweet triumph.
“The relationship between parents and children is no different, no matter the age of the child,” said Philippides’ mother, Kathryn. “Your child is your happiness. Your child is your hope for the future…. Your child is always your child.”
The decision could help hundreds, even thousands, of parents seek damages in wrongful-death suits for their grown children, according to the Philippideses’ attorneys, Philip Talmadge and William Bailey.
“It’s a big change. It’s a good change,” said Talmadge, a former state Supreme Court justice. “It’s the way the law should be.”
Bailey said he was pleased to see the law respecting “the ties of family members,” noting that “a number of states have already taken this step.”
An attorney for the driver said he had not decided whether he would appeal.
Philippides, a University of Washington student with a knack for art and writing, was working as a bicycle messenger on June 22, 2000. His family’s attorneys say he was slowly pedaling across Alaskan Way at Seneca Street when he was struck by an Isuzu Trooper.
The driver was Robert Bernard, who then lived in Michigan and worked as a salesman for Wolverine World Wide Inc., an international clothing marketer. The attorneys contend that Bernard had already plowed into the young man by the time he hit the brakes.
Philippides was rushed to Harborview Medical Center. He never regained consciousness and was determined to be brain dead. On June 30, 2000, he was taken off life-support.
Philippides’ parents are now suing Bernard, Wolverine and Robert Johns, a motorist who apparently didn’t realize the Trooper wasn’t stopping and waived Philippides across. The trial is set for trial Aug. 19.
Yesterday, attorneys for Wolverine and Johns argued that Philippides’ parents were not entitled to sue because their son was an adult and they did not depend on him for financial support.
Mark Thorsrud, who represents both Bernard and Wolverine, said the Legislature’s 1998 amendment to the “child death statute” means parents can only sue for non-financial support—such as emotional or psychological support—if the child is under 18.
“This is not a case of what the law ought to be; it’s a case of what the law is,” Thorsrud said. “The amendment is limited to minor children. The plaintiffs completely and consistently ignore the word ‘minor.’”
He said the arguments made by the Philippideses’ lawyers “have been previously rejected by the courts.”
But Talmadge argued that the Legislature broadened the statute to let parents sue for “loss of consortium”—essentially love and companionship—even if the child was grown. He said it was part of a modern trend to change centuries-old laws in which children were treated as mere property.
“Mothers and fathers may sue if they are dependent on the child for support—(the statute) does not say ‘financial support,’” Talmadge argued. “Support means significant involvement in a child’s life.”
Talmadge noted that Philippides’ parents would still have to show not only that the defendants were negligent and caused the man’s death, but also the loss they suffered.
“This is an opportunity to allow these parents, grieving as they are, to have their day in court,” he said.
Learned said the Legislature would have included the word “financial” in a specific portion of the statute if it intended to limit support to simply money. She ruled that the 1998 amendment broadened the definition of support.
George and Kathryn Philippides and their daughter, Zoe, were elated. Yianni Philippides’ estate could have only sought to recoup his medical expenses and “a very minimalist calculation” of wages he could have earned, Bailey said.
The family was frustrated by the criminal-justice system, which left Bernard with a negligent-driving ticket instead of a felony charge.
“When someone is only given a ($200) ticket for taking a life, it’s not fair,” Kathryn Philippides said.
King County prosecutors found the case didn’t meet the criteria for a vehicular homicide. That charge requires something more egregious than simple inattention, even if the victim is in a crosswalk, said prosecutor’s chief of staff Dan Satterberg.
Talmadge, as a Supreme Court justice, wrote a 1999 decision finding that crosswalks should provide the same protection to bicyclists as to pedestrians.

On the occasion of the long holidays last weekend (2nd of Sep is Vietnam’s Independence Day), my travel group had another exciting motorbike road trip to the mountains. This time the route was quite mild and we also drove our Honda Wave much less than our previous two trips. It was only a total of 500 km (310 miles) in 3 days. And guess you have noticed how large the group was. 13 people! My personal record for the biggest travel group I’ve ever had. Ever! Read the rest of this entry »
Let me start my blog by saying this: I LOVE Laos! I seriously do. This country is such a beautiful and peaceful haven for anyone who dreams of an escape from the bustling Hanoi. The laid-back lifestyle here has earned Laos its nickname “Lao PDR = Lao Please Don’t Rush”. Everything is sooooo slow here. No, I am not complaining. That’s just a fact and the more I discover the country the more I fall in love with it..
Last year, after coming back from Saigon, I actually even planned to move to Laos, I tried to send my CV around but unfortunately my attempts didn’t work out. It was also a shame to admit that I had lived next to Laos for almost 30 years but never been there once, until 2 weeks ago.. Read the rest of this entry »
After the motorbike road trip in September to Mu Cang Chai and Sapa, our travel group set off again for the new year holidays. This time our trip covered a famous route in the North of Vietnam: Bac Kan – Cao Bang – Lang Son (Cao – Bắc – Lạng). It was almost a border road trip because we drove mostly along the border between Vietnam and China. Roughly 1,000 km (620 miles) in 4 days! And each of us spent less than 1.5 million VND (USD 75) including petrol, food, drink, guest house, etc.
Day 1: Hanoi – Bac Kan, 230 km (143 miles)
We had an unlucky first day. It was drizzling the whole morning so the road was super dirty. However, we were totally aware that dirt was a certain part of a motorbike road trip so we didn’t bother too much.
We left Hanoi around 8am and arrived in Bac Kan in the afternoon. The destination was Ba Be Lake (Hồ Ba Bể), the biggest lake in Vietnam.
You can take a canoe to go around the lake and explore the small islands. The whole package will take 5 hours. We didn’t have time since it got dark very quickly in winter, thus, we cut the canoeing time real short to only 1.5 hour.
So finally I’ve decided to do that trekking trip to the top of Mount Fansipan, the peak of three countries in former Indochina (Laos-Vietnam-Cambodia), located in the North of Vietnam, in the Hoang Lien Son mountain range.
Trekking up to the top of the highest mount to hug that triangle metal piece saying “Fansipan 3,143m” has become a long time tradition among young Vietnamese people. And obviously, Fansipan is also a kind of tourist attraction since it is very close to Sapa, a famous destination for tourists in the North of Vietnam, and a few adventurous and athletic travelers love to combine their Sapa trip with this Fansipan Mount trekking.
Before the trip my travel mates and I had quite a naive thought about the trek. We thought “it’s foot path and we can literally walk up to the top of the mountain(!), only 15km up and 15km down, will be easy, everyone is doing it, we’ll be fine”. However, the whole trip actually turned out to be an intensive training of physical rock climbing, which no one had told us before.
1. Tours and train tickets:
It is quite easy to organize for the trip. All you need to do is do is to book a package tour, then to buy train tickets. We booked a 2 day 1 night tour from this travel agency for 4 people at the price of VND1,420,000 per person (around USD70). Quite easy, just needed to make a few calls, send a few emails and deposit VND500,000 (USD25) 2 or 3 days before the trip.
The difficult thing was actually the train ticket part. To go to Fansipan and Sapa, you need to buy train tickets from Hanoi to Lao Cai then go by bus from Lao Cai to the town. And Sapa is so popular for both foreign and domestic travelers that train tickets sell like hot cakes, especially at weekends. Thus, you’d better go for them at least 2 weeks in advance, or else you may risk having no places at all. The best scenario is that you can buy tickets directly from the train station, however, they reserve only a small amount here so you should really go early (2-3 weeks to make sure!). If not, then you’ll have to ring the agents and buy over-charged tickets.
I only rushed for the tickets 10 days in advance so it was a bit tough. Of course there was nothing left at the train station and I had to call roughly a dozen agents to finally get 4 places in the hard sleeper class. In fact, Vietnamese trains are quite good if compared with the trains I knew in India or Poland. There are mainly 4 classes: soft sleeper (4 beds in one cabin), hard sleeper (6 beds in one cabin), soft seating and hard seating. Advice is to go for the sleeper or soft seating so that you can sleep a bit on the train (there are only night trains going to Lao Cai). Prices per way per person updated in September 2012 are around: VND 700,000 for soft sleeper (USD35); VND550,000 for hard sleeper (USD27.5); VND270,000 for soft seating (USD13.5). Be aware that the price will change quickly due to the skyrocketing inflation in Vietnam(!)
2. Tips before the actual trip:
This is the second time I’ve hit long distances by motorbike, but compared with the previous trip from Saigon to Phan Thiet on perfect roads (400km two ways, plus 70km to and from the white sand dunes) this trip to the northwest mountainous area of Vietnam was much more difficult and challenging. And it was even more memorable because we, two girls, could ride a manual bike up and down the mountains and race with the big trucks on halfway built roads under thick fog and heavy downpour. It was our 3 days “living” on the bike riding through roughly 850 km (510 miles). Well, Vietnamese people do love adventures and “risking their lives”, even too much, if you ask!
Seven people joined the long journey and we planned to combine charity with our road trip. The ethnic groups in remote areas of Vietnam live in very poor conditions and their kids often don’t have enough school supplies. Thus, we prepared 30 little gifts for the kids before their new school year, each of which included 5 notebooks, 3 pens, 1 small towel, 1 soap, 1 toothbrush and 1 toothpaste.
My friend and I did most of the shopping for the charity trip. The shopping part was easy until it came to carrying about 30 kilos of stuff out of the supermarket on one bike back to my friend’s place. It was quite tough for 2 slim girls like us but we managed to make it at last. And.. that was only the beginning of a tiring and challenging trip to come.
Normally in a backpacking motorbike road trip girls don’t take the drive and only sit at the back. However, one guy quit before the trip, so my friend and I decided to go together and take turn to drive. We never knew what the mountain roads looked like..
Day 1: Hanoi – Mu Cang Chai, 310km (192.6 miles)
We left Hanoi at around 7.30 in the morning. All 4 bikes were manual ones. Basically each bike looked like this, with a big bag of gifts at the back or in front and 2 people on it, each with their luggage!
So in the previous post, I said that I would pick 3 love stories which I think were the most beautiful ones in the ancient Greek Myth. I already started with my favorite romance of all time, Psyche and Cupid, now I continue with my 2nd pick..
2. Orpheus and Eurydice:
Orpheus was a a very unusual type of character in the Greek Mythology. While most of the tales were about immortal gods or muscular heroes who built their glories upon killing and conquering, Orpheus appeared to be the most peaceful male character in the whole legend. He was a musician, a mortal human being, who used his 9-string lyre and his amazing music talent as weapons, and actually those turned out to be invincible weapons. It was him, Orpheus, not Heracles, Ulysses (Odysseus) or any other famous heroes, that could tame the vicious Cerberus guarding the gate to the Underworld and defeated the Siren‘s bewitching songs to save the life of the Argo sailors. (Sirens: the mermaids in Greek Mythology that lived on three islands in the sea. They often floated on the water singing the praise of the ocean’s beauty to seduce sailors. Their voice was described to be irresistibly enthralling, and if sailors didn’t cover their ears when passing this area they would jump out of the ships to follow the sirens and end up drowning in the sea).
Generally speaking, the legend about Orpheus’s triumph over Sirens as well as the taming of Cerberus and other fierce animals shows the supreme power of music. Sometimes music has the might to enchant, to lure, to kill but in the end it’s still the healer, the peace maker, the conqueror without killing or blood. And that made Orpheus become one of the most influencing characters in the whole Greek Myth. Even now in this modern world we can still see and feel his power whenever we cry or smile with a melody that touches our heart and soul, because that was also what Orpheus did during his time on Earth: to touch deeply within people’s heart, and no, not just people but every creature, from the birds, the tigers to the trees, the rocks and the water.
Orpheus got married to a Nymph named Eurydice. The legend didn’t say how they fell in love, so again I guess the part about how they kept their love alive was more important. They had a happy and harmonious life together. Orpheus loved Eurydice with all his heart and together with music, she was the reason he lived for. They often went together to the wood where Orpheus played his lyre and Eurydice sat by him putting her head on his shoulders and listening to his songs with admiration and certainly, love.

Early this morning I felt the Lord’s presence ., and without words, He let me know that none of us are worthy or deserving of His concern over us, yet His Love is so great, He can’t help but love us regardless.. It reminded me of the leper who asked Him, “Lord if you will, you can heal me” and Jesus looked on him with compassion and extended His hand to touch the leper, gently replying, “I will– be clean”, and the leper was healed instantly. His love is the love that healed the high priest’s soldier’s cut off ear by Peter’s sword after this soldier’s only intention was to seize and chain Jesus’s and drag Him to His trial.
So I got up from bed to get myself ready for work this morning but before I did, I was so touched by our Lord’s generous heart of love to choose to be with me that I said to Him while getting up, “Good morning, my Love”. And I felt inundated by His love even more.. so much so that any demons lurking around me probably scooted out of the room extra fast!
I immediately wanted to record this all in my journal, and made sure to ask Jesus if He wanted to comment in any way. I opened blindly to His past recorded words in the journal, “He and I”, and opened right to the following: (June 9, 1941- “If only because you said, ‘My Love”, I will bless it; You know that I am more sensitive than the most sensitive of men and your child-like tender words have great power over My heart. So get to know the paths that lead directly to Me. I yield My secrets to My children. I am Samson, but he regretted having spoken whereas I yield Myself completely because My love is beyond all your power to imagine.”♥……. Wow, what a confirmation Rehma reply!!

Power, Insight, and Deception
by Doug Hubley
In 1991, Elaine Tuttle Hansen was called out of class at Haverford College with the news that debris from an aircraft collision had killed two children during recess at daughter Emma’s elementary school.
Confronting the possibility that one of the young victims was Emma, “I think I aged about 10 years on this 15-minute drive to the school,” Hansen says. Emma was fine — but the incident charged her mother’s academic work.
At the time, Hansen was examining the intersection between the literary theme of the childless mother and the main currents of feminist thinking, which called into question the relationship between childbearing and feminine identity. Hansen looked at the writings of seven authors, including Alice Walker, Louise Erdrich, Marge Piercy, and Margaret Atwood. The resulting book, Mother without Child: Contemporary Fiction and the Crisis of Motherhood (University of California Press, 1997), argues that fiction about or narrated by mothers who have had their children taken away has painted concepts of motherhood that are less static and less divisive than some feminist theoretists’.
“The head-on approach to the question [of how motherhood relates to womanhood] has not gotten us very far, because there’s an impasse, right?” Hansen says. “Women want to have it all — they want to be mothers but they want to be ‘people’ — and those things aren’t easy to accommodate.”
In her previous book, Hansen looked at the way women were depicted not by several authors but just one. Chaucer and the Fictions of Gender (University of California Press, 1992) was a response to questions raised when reading and teaching Chaucer in the late 20th century. What does a male author tell us about the history of women, and how does a woman reader understand the female characters he depicts?
Fictions of Gender suggested a whole new interpretation of Chaucer’s women, upsetting the longstanding view that Chaucer was an anachronistically tolerant friend to women. Instead, she argued that Chaucer used his complex portraits of women to work out notions of masculinity, specifically his fears about the femininization of men.
Hansen started down this literary path in the late 1960s, when relatively few people were questioning portrayals of women. (She strayed with her first book, The Solomon Complex: Reading Wisdom in Old English Poetry [University of Toronto Press, 1988], which offers an approach to interpreting the millennium-old riddles, proverbs, and aphorisms called “wisdom literature.”) Jane Austen, the subject of Hansen’s senior honors thesis at Mount Holyoke, opened her eyes to “ways in which a female author, so ahead of her time, is examining issues of gender and power.”
What interested her was Austen’s irony, the ability (which Austen shares with Chaucer) to “exploit the fundamental, intrinsic ambiguity of language” to convey one view of women in society while seeming to endorse quite a different one.

Science and Religion in Awe of Historic Solar Eclipse
Citizens of India and China witnessed the longest total solar eclipse of the century on Wednesday.
Scientists as well as religious men and women crowded the cities in hopes of catching a glimpse of the eclipse, which lasted a total of six minutes and 39 seconds.
The eclipse first appeared in the skies over India, where many devoted Hindus had crowded the streets and the banks of the Ganges in a time of religious celebration for the eclipse.
"We have come here because our elders told us this is the best time to improve our afterlife," Bhailal Sharma, one villager told Reuters.
Officials have reported that the massive religious draw to the region resulted in the death of one 80-year-old woman after she became suffocated and crushed by the crowds of people hoping to take a dip in the Ganges.
"Taking a dip in holy rivers before and after the eclipse salvages and protects us from disasters and calamities," 86-year-old Sundar Shrestha told Reuters on Wednesday.
But some views from coastal cities were blocked by the clouds, as the eclipse passed over Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and over the crowded cities along China's Yangtze River.
For scientists, the event served as an unprecedented opportunity to study the most-viewed and longest total eclipse in a century.
"We saw it! The clouds kept getting thinner, and we even had a pretty good-sized hole in the clouds for the five minutes of totality," Expedition Leader Jay Pasachoff, Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy at Williams and chair of the International Astronomical Union's Working Group on Solar Eclipses, wrote in an email from China.
Pasachoff was witnessing his 49th solar eclipse.
"Everyone saw all the coronal phenomena. The diamond rings were spectacular. Just before totality, the clouds were just the right thickness that allowed us to see partial phases without filters."
"All our equipment seems to have worked, so now we still have an hour or so of partial eclipse to image, and then we will download photos and start looking at them. The oscillation experiment has a lot of data through two filters, and we will assess later whether comparison of the two channels allow us to account for the cloud cover," he added.
Pasachoff's team traveled to an observatory outside Hangzhou where they collected data to be compiled with previous information from eclipses to gain a better understanding of why the Sun's corona, the outer halo of million-degree gas, shines hotter than the Sun itself.
The team uses a special rapid-readout electronic camera and single-color filters in order to focus in on the coronal gas.
In addition to Pasachoff's team, an Indian air force AN-32 transporter carried a group of astrophysicists on a flight along with a Mirage-2000 fighter jet which took photos of the eclipse.
"This is indeed quite an important event for scientific experiments. Its long duration provides you an opportunity to make very complicated, complex experiments," Harish Bhatt, dean at the Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Astrophysics, told Reuters.
The next solar eclipse is expected to occur on July 11, 2010 in the South Pacific. However, scientists will not get another chance to observe a longer solar eclipse than Wednesday's until June 13, 2132, according to NASA.

Data Breach Lawyers
The data breach attorneys at Robinson Calcagnie, Inc. are currently investigating claims on behalf of patients impacted by the recent UCLA Health data breach. If you have been affected by the breach, please contact our office to request a free evaluation.
UCLA Health Data Breach Impacts Millions
The sensitive records of approximately 4.5 million individuals were exposed and released when unauthorized individuals accessed parts of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) medical network, according to a press release issued by UCLA Health on July 17, 2015. The exposed information includes the names, birthdays, addresses, medical information, social security numbers, and Medicare or health plan numbers of UCLA Health patients and others. UCLA Health is a medical network that includes the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA, UCLA Medical Center, Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA, and 150 medical offices across Southern California.
According to UCLA Health, the hospital “detected suspicious activity in its network in October 2014, and began an investigation with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).” On May 5, 2015, UCLA Health determined that hackers accessed parts of the network that stores personal information as early as September 2014. Although UCLA Health states there is no evidence the hackers acquired the personal information, it cannot conclusively rule it out.
Why is the UCLA Health Data Breach so Significant?
Due to the highly sensitive nature of the data, individuals impacted by the data breach may be at risk of identity theft. The exposed and released information can be used by criminals to steal an identity and commit fraud in a victim’s name. Personal information is a valuable commodity, which can be sold and/or used on the “cyber black market” to file fraudulent tax returns, open new credit, make false purchases on existing credit accounts, and obtain medical treatment. Cyber criminals consider this type of data to be highly valuable because it cannot be terminated, such as in the case of stolen credit card numbers in the Home Depot and Target data breaches.
Credit Monitoring and Fraud Alerts
While UCLA Health is offering limited credit monitoring and fraud protection to those impacted, these services may not be enough to prevent long-term identity theft. Identity theft experts warn that batches of exposed and released information may not be immediately sold on the black market, but rather sold in the future when victims are less likely to be on the lookout for fraudulent activities.
Robinson Calcagnie, Inc. Investigates Claims in the UCLA Data Breach
Federal and state regulations require healthcare providers to protect highly sensitive personal and medical information. Regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and California’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, establish guidelines and standards for how healthcare companies must protect this information and provide recourse for victims of data breaches. For example, if a breach occurs, healthcare providers must immediately and accurately notify those affected. The experienced data breach attorneys at Robinson Calcagnie, Inc., who have litigated data breach claims against WellPoint and St. Joseph Health System, are currently investigating claims on behalf of patients affected by the UCLA Health data breach.
The Next Step: Call to Request Your Free Consultation
If you are a current or former patient of UCLA Health, or were notified that your personal and health information was compromised, you may have a legal claim against UCLA Health. Please fill out the form below or contact our office at (888) 348-8855 to request a free evaluation of your potential case.

Rajon Rondo was back Boston this week for a charity game, and with that cam an appearance at a nightclub in the area.
At the end of the evening, a man took a swing at Rondo and was wrested to the ground and later arrested, reports the Lowell Sun. The man, Eric Valarezo, 31, was charged with a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.
Officer Michael Kandrotas noticed a scuffle, and learned that someone “took a fighting stance and threw a punch” at the Celtics all-star and his entourage, which included fellow NBA players Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks, former Celtic Nate Robinson and Rudy Gay of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Police and Kevin Hayhurst, co-owner of Brian’s Ivy Hall, said members of Rondo’s entourage wrestled Valarezo to the ground.
It’s not clear what prompted the incident, Valarezo said he was bumped and didn’t know it was Rondo when the incident happened. It also should be noted the club owners said Rondo and his group were “disrespectful toward patrons.”
That said, starting a bar fight is never a good idea, and against a bunch of professional athletes it’s a particularly poor one.
The power dynamics within the Clippers are shifting, and the ground apparently hasn’t settled yet.
Doc Rivers has been stripped of his presidency. Jerry West became a consultant. Lawrence Frank now holds the most prestigious title in the front office, and newly hired Michael Winger will report to him. Also falling under Frank in the organizational chart? Trent Redden.
Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN:
Longtime Cleveland Cavaliers executive Trent Redden will join the LA Clippers’ front-office staff as assistant general manager, league sources said on Monday.
Redden was ousted in Cleveland with David Griffin. He’ll help the Clippers simply by providing another capable executive. They’ve long needed to add front-office employees (and pay for them).
But Redden also exacerbates the issue of Frank’s underlings having far more front-office experience than him. As the Clippers try to establish their new setup, we’ll see whether that creates complications.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr has missed significant time the last two seasons due to complications from back surgery.
Could those issues derail his career?
Kerr, via Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle:
“I fully expect to coach all year,” Kerr says in a no-nonsense tone. “That’s my expectation. And for many years to come.”
On the most basic level, it’d be good if Kerr feels well enough to coach. The headaches sound miserable, regardless of his job.
But it’d also be ideal if the NBA didn’t lose one of its best coaches just as he’s getting started. The 51-year-old Kerr might wind up the greatest coach of all time. Obviously that’s a long way off, but he has that potential – health permitting.
The Hawks began last season with just two point guards, one fewer than most teams – especially notable because neither starter Dennis Schroder nor backup Malcolm Delaney was experienced for his role.
Schroder and Delaney return, but Atlanta is adding another option – Quinn Cook.
Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports:
Cook is a borderline NBA player. He might not make the regular-season roster. He also might supplant Delaney for a rotation spot.
A 24-year-old who has spent most of the last two years in the D-League (also getting stints with the Mavericks and Pelicans), Cook is a good outside shooter. He’s also steady, if unspectacular, in his lead-guard duties.
This is a solid flier at a position the Hawks could use depth.
The Knicks signing Nigel Hayes leaked first.
But New York didn’t stop there.
The New York Knickerbockers announced today that the team has signed forwards Jamel Artis and Nigel Hayes and guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes.
Like Hayes, Artis (Pittsburgh) and Rathan-Mayes (Florida State) went undrafted this year – making them eligible to be waived and assigned to the Knicks’ minor-league affiliate. That’s likely all three’s fate.
But first, each will have an opportunity to make the regular-season roster. The Knicks have just 14 players with guaranteed salaries, leaving one roster spot for someone on a standard contract. Chasson Randle (unguaranteed) is the incumbent choice, but these three could supplant him.

Ten days after welcoming our sweet daughter into the world, I was blindsided by a piercing migraine. I couldn’t sleep all night. By morning, I knew something had to give. At the hospital, the CT scan of my head was clear, but my blood pressure wouldn’t go down. I was admitted to L&D with a diagnosis of late post-partum pre-eclampsia, a rare complication. Migraine & blood pressure meds, magnesium IV drip, and the dreaded foley catheter followed. I was sent home 3 days later on a barrage of medications.
I couldn’t stand noises. Light was blinding. I slept for 22 hours a day. I prayed…A LOT. Friends and family had rallied and brought us meals, took our son to church for us, and came to sit with Lily so my husband, John, could run errands or simply take a shower. It was a rough week.
About a week later, I started to feel well enough to venture out of my room. Lily was fussing in her swing and tossed her pacifier overboard. I bent over to pick it up and give it back to her. A bizarre sensation washed over me, much like a tingling or numbness from head to toe. I staggered to the glider and asked my husband take my blood pressure.
I reached over to take a sip of water, but my right arm wouldn’t work correctly. I started to tell my husband but my words came out jumbled. What was in my mind wasn’t what was coming out of my mouth. I froze.
He heard it.
He looked me straight in the eye from across the kitchen.
He didn’t even hesitate for one second.
He dialed 911.
He knew. And he acted FAST.
I was having a stroke.
I sobbed, knowing exactly what was happening and afraid for how far it would progress. You see, I am a nurse. I have been stroke-certified for the past 8 years. I have seen the best and the worst stroke outcomes. I have watched my patients, young and old, suffer from various complications of strokes, including brain death.
I was TERRIFIED.
I suffered a second stroke en route to the hospital.
“CODE STROKE ER ROOM 12”
That’s what they page overhead to activate a whole barrage of folks specially trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a stroke patient. A lot of it was a blur, but I still remember sitting there, having moments where I could and couldn’t speak and not knowing what would happen to me.
The CT scan of my head and neck showed a complete blockage of my left internal carotid artery. That’s huge. Half my brain wasn’t getting adequate blood flow because of this blockage. However, the brain vessels are designed with this cool roundabout (think: 10th street in Midtown by Kaiser’s) called the Circle of Willis. It allows blood flow from the right internal carotid artery to circle around and feed the other part of the brain. The human body is amazing!
The next day after the MRI of my brain, the neurologist explained to me that I had suffered a spontaneous left internal carotid artery dissection (the inner lining of the artery peels away, allowing blood clots to form as it tries to repair itself) probably during delivery and it had finally fully clotted off the artery when I had my severe headache onset. As it turns out, when I had bent over to give Lily her pacifier back, some of the clot had broken off and lodged in my left mid-cerebral artery, causing a stroke.
My husband knew what to look for because he knew about F.A.S.T.
F.A.S.T. stands for Face, Arms, Speech, and Time. It’s the acronym the American Stroke Association has developed to get the word out about the importance of assessing a stroke and getting immediate treatment.
Face: Face drooping. Have them smile…is it symmetrical?
Arms: Arm weakness. Have them hold their arms out like Superman…are they both staying up?
Speech: Speech difficulty. Have them say, “The sky is blue and the clouds are white.” Did it come out clear?
Time: Time to call 911. Don’t wait. Don’t let them talk you out of it. Don’t let them brush it off. Get help immediately!
A year ago today, my husband saved my life.

Krebs, president and chief executive officer. “Our top two 2019 initiatives – successfully ramping up operating activities at Silvertip and completing the installation of the high-pressure grinding roll unit at Rochester – remain on track. Our Kensington mine continues to see the benefit of higher grades from the Jualin deposit, while Wharf exceeded its plan during the first quarter and is positioned to deliver higher production during the remainder of the year.”
The CEO said the company expects operating results to be weighted toward the second half of the year.
“We expect higher production levels at Palmarejo as production begins at the new La Nación deposit and a new thickener is commissioned in the second half of 2019,” he said. “Rochester’s second half 2019 production is expected to increase due to the positive impacts of the new HPGR unit, while higher mining and processing rates from the higher-grade Jualin deposit are expected to boost second half production at Kensington.”
During the first quarter, gold and silver production fell from a year ago at Palmarejo in Mexico due to lower grades and recoveries as a result of mine sequencing. Output of both metals fell at Rochester in Nevada largely due to adverse weather, Coeur said. Gold output at Kensington in Alaska was up from a year ago, but eased at Wharf in South Dakota. Silver, lead and zinc output at Silvertip, located in British Columbia, rose from the fourth quarter as ramp-up continued at a mine that achieved commercial production in September.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Do you recite the Pledge of Allegiance? Does it make you feel all warm and patriotic and stuff? Do you find yourself offended when people don't put their hand over their heart as it's recited, or worse, don't recite it at all?
Why is that?
Why do you, a sovereign individual with rights endowed by your Creator, swear loyalty and devotion to the central state? Why do you subject your children to this ceremony of subordination to the government? Why do you, a Christian, declare your allegiance to an earthly state, knowing that you cannot serve both Him and another master?
Probably because you don't know the history of the Pledge.
History of the Pledge of Allegiance
The Pledge of Allegiance was written by Francis Bellamy, a Christian Socialist and one-time Baptist minister who was removed from his post for pounding the pulpit with sermons such as "Jesus the Socialist." Bellamy was devoted to the ideas of his more famous cousin Edward Bellamy, author of 1888’s best seller "Looking Backward," a novel describing a future United States as a regimented worker’s paradise.
America has been turned into a rigorously centralized democratic society in which everything is controlled by a humane and efficient state. In little more than a hundred years, the horrors of nineteenth-century capitalism have been all but forgotten. Broad streets have replaced the squalid slums of Boston, and technological inventions have transformed people's everyday lives ... a thunderous indictment of industrial capitalism and a resplendent vision of life in a socialist utopia.
Edward and Francis Bellamy were the two most prominent advocates for what was called "Nationalism," by which they meant nationalization of all property under state control. Across America some 167 Nationalist Clubs were formed. In 1889, one of the Boston Nationalist Clubs formed an auxiliary called the Society for Christian Socialists, which preached the Marxist doctrine more vociferously than today's Sojourners.
Understanding that the first step toward his socialist utopia was a unified state, Bellamy wanted to break the American public's individualist tradition and admiration for the federalist system of the Founding Fathers. So in 1892, Bellamy wrote the Pledge of Allegiance for the popular children’s magazine The Youth’s Companion. Elaborating on his work, he said that the "true reason for allegiance to the Flag" was to inculcate American children in the false history of America’s founding espoused by Daniel Webster and Abraham Lincoln.
Webster and Lincoln declared that union created the states, and therefore, the states were never sovereign. In truth however, not only do the states predate the union, but in all of the American founding documents – Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and Constitution – the states refer to themselves as "free and independent." Furthermore, when King George III signed the treaty to end the Revolutionary War, it was signed as an agreement with each individual state, listed one by one, not with something called the "United States."
Despite Lincoln waging total war on the South in the name of a unified state, many American’s continued to believe in Jeffersonian state’s rights, viewing them as a safeguard against federal tyranny. But Francis Bellamy found this troubling, because if the individual states formed the union and not the other way around, secession from the union would indeed be legitimate. This meant that in order to build a socialist utopia, the Jeffersonian philosophy of federalism and states’ rights had to be destroyed.
With the "Oath of Allegiance" that was forced on the South after the Civil War in mind, Bellamy declared:
The true reason for allegiance to the Flag is the 'republic for which it stands.' ...And what does that vast thing, the Republic mean? It is the concise political word for the Nation - the One Nation which the Civil War was fought to prove. To make that One Nation idea clear, we must specify that it is indivisible, as Webster and Lincoln used to repeat in their great speeches. And its future?
The Youth’s Companion actively promoted loyalty to government and the Pledge of Allegiance in it's original form: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Wanting to advance their socialist agenda more rapidly, Francis Bellamy and the editor of the publication, Daniel Ford, set their sights on the public schools.
The Youth’s Companion had already begun selling American flags to the public schools a few years earlier as a compliment to their message of good citizenship and government loyalty. This was a novel and somewhat radical approach at the time, because flying the flag was almost exclusively the domain of military bases. Enjoying great success selling their flags to the schools, and with a published Pledge of Allegiance in hand, Bellamy and Ford contacted William Torrey Harris, the head of the National Education Association (NEA).
Harris, according to historian John Baer, "believed in a state controlled public education system. As the leading Hegelian philosopher in the United States he believed that the State had a central role in society. He believed youth should be trained in loyalty to the State and the public school was the institution to plant fervent loyalty and patriotism. Like many other American educators of his time, he admired and copied the Prussian educational system."
Believing that private education made it too difficult to indoctrinate children into accepting their proper role in society, Harris was eager to join Francis Bellamy’s crusade. After all, his goals were the same as the Nationalist Clubs. Using the celebration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' discovery of America, Harris and Bellamy then convinced the NEA to support a National Public School Celebration with their flag ceremony as its centerpiece. As chairman of the celebration, Bellamy told the audience, "the training of citizens in the common knowledge and the common duties of citizenship belongs irrevocably to the State."
For the flag ceremony itself, the original Pledge of Allegiance was recited as follows: Every pupil gives the Flag the military salute – right hand lifted, palm down, to a line with the forehead and close to it. At the words, "to my Flag," the right hand is extended outward in an uplifted salute and held there until the end of the affirmation, whence all hands are immediately dropped to the side.
If the salute sounds familiar to you, that’s because it should. Here’s a picture of American children reciting the original Pledge of Allegiance.
Here’s how you’re used to seeing it.
For obvious reasons, the original salute was replaced with today's hand-on-heart gesture during WWII, when the words "my flag" were also changed to "the flag of the United States of America" in fear that immigrant children would confuse "my flag" for the flag of their homeland. Persuaded by the Knights of Columbus in 1954, Congress then added the words "under God." It has remained unchanged since.
Far from honoring the ideals of America’s Founding Fathers, the Pledge of Allegiance is an oath of loyalty and devotion to the central state. Reciting the Pledge, along with its ceremony, was meant to instill a quasi-religious admiration for, and subordination to, a unified central government to which you irrevocably belong.
From the perspective of a Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison, or Samuel Adams, nothing could be more un-American than pledging allegiance to an omnipotent state. After all, they risked everything to fight a long and bloody war to break free of their forced allegiance to an overbearing state and it’s crappy oaths of loyalty – King George III and the British Empire.
So, the next time you place your right hand over your heart to recite the Pledge, think carefully about what you’re doing. Because you can roll with the Founders as a free and sovereign individual, or pledge your loyalty to Bellamy’s authoritarian state.

He restores the appliances of the house instead of throwing them away and buying new ones: something that used to be common, but is now less and less done. But it seems that with the help of NGOs like the Brussels Circular it seems that it can be done again, where they repair themselves using machines to give them a second life. “We collect stains, washers and used washing machines, to repair them, to store them, and once done, we distribute them to people who are energy poor, who cannot afford new equipment,” explained Dany Chouha, CEO of. Circular
More than 5,000 computers have also been fixed with these latest technologies and distributed them among students and social organizations. Without labor, these machines would have ended up in the trash. “Now people know the dangers of these devices if they are thrown away or not recycled, now people know that laptops can be easily repaired after one or two years, so I think awareness is the main thing,” Chouha pointed out. to go out
machines that are discarded instead of being repaired generate 35 million tons of waste and 261 million tons of CO2 emissions every year in Europe.
According to a new proposal proposed by the European Commission, users can count on more possibilities to wash televisions and machines and then repair all home appliances.
During the statutory period of two years for the warranty period, the manufacturers cover the necessary repairs if they do not cost more than later. And in 5 or 10 years, after the warranty period, they are obliged to repair the goods at the expense of the buyer. “And to make sure we have low costs, we’re trying to put together a new ecosystem of many, many SMEs involved in the repair system and repair network. Because the operator will have an obligation to disclose information about the fact, how to repair the work. Therefore, more SMEs will be able to participate in the repair process”, explained the European Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders.
Now the European Parliament and Member States must agree to the text and the new rules could come into effect for two years.

As of last semester, our district administration has started offering incentives to help improve student attendance. For students who have zero absences each 6 weeks, their names will be put in a drawing for a pair of AirPods. Even the elementary school has jumped on board, offering incentives such as a Kindle Fire or free lunch for the winner and five friends.
But the real question is: Have these incentives been proven effective?
“I think our attendance the 3 weeks before Christmas was higher due to the incentives than it would have been otherwise,” principal Tracie Ezell said.
Student attendance heavily impacts the district. Even though we are often tempted not to, showing up is beneficial to our school.
“[Attendance] impacts the funding that the school district receives. It also impacts students and their learning. This will be displayed on the school district’s accountability,” assistant principal Stan Jones said.
According to the administration, the incentives have been effective in our school district.
“Our attendance was higher in December than originally thought to be due to the illness going around. We have maintained an adequate attendance rate during January. We also think the incentives have helped this,” Jones said.
It has been proven that these incentives have worked for December and January. At this rate, our attendance should see an improvement in future months.
“I think the prizes have motivated me to watch my attendance and be at school more,” sophomore Piper Smith said. “The prizes create a fun competition for the students to see who will win them.”


I have a CSV file with the following format:
Basically what I'm looking to do in Python 2.x is read the file and if within the filename column, any files exist with a specified file extension from a list, the data from the MD5 hash column is parsed out into a text document.

Mandela's Group Names Moderates to New Posts
By CHRISTOPHER S. WREN,
Published: August 4, 1991
JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 3— The African National Congress has positioned itself for future negotiations with the Pretoria Government by picking a relatively moderate 'shadow Cabinet' that excludes the congress's two most prominent militants.
The congress announced on Friday night that Winnie Mandela, the wife of the congress president, Nelson Mandela, had not been elected to the inner working committee of the leadership and so lost her right to remain as the organization's head of social welfare. She was appointed last year by Mr. Mandela's associate, Alfred Nzo, who lost his post as secretary general in the congress's elections at its conference last month.
Mrs. Mandela is considered more hard-line than her husband, and there was criticism from some congress branches of her appointment to the social welfare department when she was accused of a role in the abduction and beating of four Soweto youths, one of whom was found slain. Mrs. Mandela was convicted and sentenced in May to six years in prison, but has appealed her conviction.
Her post goes to Cheryl Carolus, a young Cape Town woman who was active in the United Democratic Front, a recently disbanded coalition of anti-apartheid groups.
Ms. Carolus also holds a senior position in the South African Communist Party. New Post for Guerrilla Chief
The African National Congress also said its ally, the Communist Party, had asked that Chris Hani be relieved as chief of staff of Spear of the Nation, the congress's guerrilla wing, so he can work full-time as deputy general secretary of the party.
In a statement Friday night, the congress said it was considering the request and consequently, "Chris Hani has not been allocated a specific portfolio in the national working committee."
It seems possible that Mr. Hani, who won more votes than any other candidate elected to the larger national executive committee, was encouraged to step down by the congress. His speeches played well with militant black youths but alienated more moderate South Africans, particularly whites.
But Mr. Hani and Mrs. Mandela retain seats on the 90-member National Executive Committee of the congress, as does Mr. Nzo.
The new leadership positions were decided by the executive committee on Wednesday, but were announced on Friday.
They follow the shuffle on Monday of President F. W. de Klerk's Cabinet, an action that also seemed undertaken with negotiations in mind. Defense Minister Magnus Malan and Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok, whose resignations the congress demanded as a condition for constitutional talks, were demoted to minor portfolios. Moderates Appear Strengthened
The congress created a commission headed by its new secretary general, Cyril Ramaphosa, to prepare for the negotiations, which President de Klerk has proposed to draft a new constitution giving the black majority political rights.
The other members are Thabo Mbeki, the congress's international affairs secretary; Joe Slovo, a congress official who heads the South African Communist Party, and Mohammed Valli Moosa, who is also a member of the Communist Party.
Though two of the four members of the new negotiation commission are Communists, moderates in the leadership like Mr. Mbeki appear strengthened by the departure of Mr. Hani and Mrs. Mandela from positions of influence.

A Bundoran man has been prosecuted for undertaking potentially dangerous and illegal gas works.
The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER), Ireland’s independent energy regulator has successfully secured a prosecution against Mr. Jerome Travers, 18 Tullan Strand Road, Bundoran, Co. Donegal for illegally carrying out gas works while not being a registered gas installer.
The case was heard in Ballyshannon District Court under presiding Judge Kilrane, who convicted and fined Mr. Travers for undertaking gas works while not being a registered gas installer. Mr. Travers contested the charges against him.
The gas works were undertaken in a house in Bundoran in December 2015 and resulted in an uncontrolled flow of gas into the kitchen causing an explosion which injured the occupants and did extensive damage to the property. Judge Kilrane fined Mr. Travers €500 and awarded costs of €500 to the CER.
Judge Kilrane heard evidence from Seán Ward and Keith Walsh, Gas Safety Officers with the Commission for Energy Regulation and from four witnesses. Judge Kilrane commented that there are few things more serious than leaving a gas pipe open ended with an uncontrolled supply of gas going into the kitchen and that it just shows you how important it is to employ a registered gas installer (RGI). There was no evidence of Mr. Travers having any qualifications whatsoever to be an RGI.
The CER’s Commissioner for Energy Safety, Dr. Paul McGowan said: “If a gas installer does not have the required registration or cannot prove membership of the RGII scheme, consumers should not use them and if they suspect that they are acting illegally, they should contact RGII. The CER will continue to pursue such cases against individuals and companies who do not observe the legal requirements for undertaking gas installations or works”.
It is illegal for an individual or company to carry out Gas Works or to portray themselves as registered, unless they are a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) with the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland (RGII). The penalties for non-compliance include a fine of up to €15,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 3 years.
The number of prosecutions taken by the CER has continued to rise annually since 2011.
The CER’s objective in this area is to protect life and property, deliver the safety regulatory system to oversee the industry, build awareness levels of the issues among consumers and the general public and to prosecute unregistered individuals or companies where required.
The CER investigates all reports of alleged breaches of legislation. Illegal activity can be reported anonymously to the CER or to the RGII (www.RGII.ie or calling 1850 454 454). Members of the public who wish to report an unregistered individual who has undertaken gas works or has portrayed themselves as a registered gas installer should visit www.rgii.ie.

How would someone begin to write the story of the legal luminary, who began to display his intelligence and leadership quality right from childhood? Atake was elevated to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria after 12 years of being called to the Bar at the age of 41. The equivalent of an English Queen’s Counsel.
Little wonder, many look forward to celebrating his birthday and have promised to honor him with their presence at the bash.
Although a source revealed that despite his astounding success in life, the senior advocate has proved that he is not one to make noise about birthday celebrations.
Today, he is a shining star in the nation’s legal firmament. He is not a pushover when it comes to legal matters. He is a brilliant mind and even a delight in courtrooms.
He took to social media and thank God for sparing his life for these 60 years on earth.
“I am 60 YEARS TODAY. Wow!!! That is how you jump for joy and praise the Lord when you are 60 years old and still fit, agile, sprightly, and lively, in good shape and health. One jumps high up in the air thanking God for his compassion, kindness, understanding and benevolence. For that reason, I share wholly what YOKO ONO stated: “when I turned 60, it didn’t bother me at all”. Why YOKO? Because in my case, like an older fiddle, my tune is still spectacular, razor-sharp and marvelous. Sing praises to the Lord for me”!!!

A bid by Simpson, who was just elected to his second term, would set up a three-way race for speaker. Rep. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola ...
