New Statute of Limitations for Dog Bite Medical Bills in Colorado
In general, it’s best to act quickly in any lawsuit, including a dog bite lawsuit. Evidence disappears: memories fade, blood washes out, and even wounds may heal, though not always fully. There is also a legal reason for acting quickly: a statute of limitations. For most personal injury lawsuits, you only have two years after the date of your injury to file before you are barred (prevented) from recovering damages.
While it’s still best to act quickly with dog bite lawsuits, the Colorado Supreme Court has offered some reprieve for parents and children when it comes to recovering medical expenses for minors. In a recent decision, Rudnicki v. Bianco, the Supreme Court decided that a child or their parents may recover damages for medical expenses paid for on the child’s behalf, even if the lawsuit is not filed within the standard 2-year statute of limitations.
Rudnicki v. Bianco centers on birth injury medical malpractice. In the case, OB-GYN Peter Bianco used a vacuum extractor to assist in the delivery of Alexander Rudnicki in 2005. This caused considerable injury to Alexander, leading to ongoing physical, occupational, and speech therapy. He also has intellectual disabilities that mean he will likely never be able to live independently.
As the extent of Alexander’s injuries became clear, his parents filed a medical malpractice claim to recover medical expenses for their child from Dr. Bianco and the hospital.
However, Dr. Bianco claimed that the parents hadn’t acted within the standard two-year statute of limitations. The court agreed, and parents were removed from the lawsuit. The jury decided that Dr. Bianco acted negligently, and awarded Alexander a verdict that totaled $4 million, including $325,000 in past medical expenses, and $110,000 in future medical expenses.
Then Dr. Bianco tried to present a Catch-22 for parents by claiming that only parents could make claims for a child’s medical expenses, since the child was not legally emancipated. The district court agreed and cut out the $325,000 for past expenses and 66% of future medical expenses.
The family appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court decided that in the current health care economy, parents and children need to be able to recover damages for medical expenses, because these expenses can bankrupt families and result in a lifetime of debt.
There is additional logic in waiving the two-year statute of limitations for injuries to children. Because children are developing, the extent of their injuries might not always be clear within two years. Sometimes children will recover, but other times they might not. Parents need time to be able to understand the ramifications of their child’s injuries before seeking damages.
What This Means for Denver Dog Bite Lawsuits
This decision is relatively recent (December 13, 2021, with a rehearing denied on January 24, 2022), so we’re not yet sure of its impact. However, it seems that this decision means that parents of children injured in dog bite attacks might be able to recover damages for medical expenses, even if the attack occurred more than two years ago (so long as the child has not yet reached the age of eighteen).
Parents of children injured in dog bite attacks should consider filing lawsuits if they have significant medical expenses, but didn’t file in time because they:
- Didn’t know how expensive care would be
- Were persuaded not to file
- Didn’t know they could file until too late
In addition, it might be worth revisiting cases where damages were reduced or eliminated because of the statute of limitations, or a child being barred from recovery of their own medical expenses.

I got Solaris Express Community Edition “nevada” b52. I tried it in the office VMware. Hangs at 100% of “the system is being initialized, please wait…”. Tried it at home, in VMWare under Ubuntu. Same thing. VMWare uses around 20% CPU on my Celeron D 320 (2.4 Ghz/256 KB L2/533 Mhz FSB). The VMWare logs have no indication of problems.
I then tried a custom kickstart at the first choice. This time, it hung even before starting the installation! It must be something peculiar about VMware. I could try it under my native hardware, but I won’t be able to hack with it much that way.
Maybe I should stick to my “SAMP” work under Solaris. My first SAMP stack project is SugarCRM. I might try it with Oracle to learn PHP support for that enterprise database. For that shiny new software feeling, instead of going for Sol Express, I’ll wait a little bit for Solaris 10 Update 3 (11/06).

"Wonderful Place to stay in Provence"
Le Clos des Olives was a heavenly place to stay and was perfectly situated for sightseeing in Providence by car. We would come home in the evening to relax by the pool, have hors d'oeuvres and a drink, and then make dinner in the perfectly equipped kitchen. The apartment was very large and comfortable with a huge living room, bedroom, and a bathroom with washing machine. To be living in the country was a delight; instead of hearing the sirens of Paris, we listened to the cicadas and an occasional farm vehicle. Jasmine and Patrice are the most warm and gracious hosts, offering insights into our travels and helping us navigate the area. The only drawback was that we could only stay 4 nights; we would have liked to stay longer, but their place was booked. Now that we are home, we miss our stay at Clos des Olives very much and our pleasant time in Provence! We highly recommend this beautiful place! All our best to Jasmine and Patrice.

The location of the gite is ideal for exploring this area of France. Jasmine is very helpful and offers lots of ideas for places to visit. We were made to feel very welcome and particularly enjoyed the aperitifs with our hosts, on the last evening. The new deck area, in the garden, is a great place to relax and spend a lazy afternoon with the beautiful pool only a step away. We would definitely recommend the gite and hope to return! Our only regret....we were only there for a week.

Detectives have not disclosed the name of the woman found dead Tuesday, citing privacy laws. The boy has been reunited with relatives, police said.
Antoine was acquitted in 2015 of murder and attempted murder charges in the case of a 2009 double shooting that left Brandon Hammond dead and Jeffrey Thompson wounded outside a West Palm Beach nightclub, records showed.
It was a retrial for Antoine, after the 4th District Court of Appeal in May 2014 threw out a 2011 conviction of attempted second-degree murder and 40-year prison sentence pertaining to Thompson.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact Detective Jeff Gleicher at 561-732-8116 or www.bbpd.org or MyPD app. Anonymous tips can be given to Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County at 800-458-8477 or crimestopperspbc.com.

Jack Murphy launches Knowing Something label
The San Francisco-based producer returns with some fresh techno sounds later this month.
Regarded affectionately as the ‘Techno Detective’ for his knowledge and refined tastes in the genre and beyond, San Francisco-based Jack Murphy has a small but respectable discography. Emerging as a producer back in 2013, Murphy delivered two records in quick succession to Frozen Border’s Reference division that marked him out as a talent of note; the B1 “Untitled” on Reference 04 being a particular favourite here and featured towards the end of Ryan Elliott’s Fabric mix earlier this year. In late-2014, Murphy debuted on Don’t Be Afraid’s Special Editions series with a four-track Point Zero 12″ that further expanded on his sound whilst revealing painting and philosophy to be among his other interests.
Some wonderful mixes for Truants and Beatrice Dillon’s NTS show last year kept Jack Murphy fans satisfied to a certain degree, but those wishing for some new music from the US artist will be pleased to hear he’s set to return. Murphy has chosen to set up his own label, Knowing Something, which launches later this month with a four-track 12″, KS1, from the producer himself. You can preview the record below, with the sub-heavy “Wolfie Home (PPP Mix)” standing out in particular.
Knowing Something will release KS1 by Jack Murphy in late-September.

Are you considering refinancing your mortgage? If so, it’s important to understand the ins and outs of the process and find the right lender to meet your needs. Refinancing your mortgage can provide various benefits, such as lowering your monthly payments or securing a better interest rate. However, the key to a successful refinancing journey lies in choosing the right lender who can offer you the best terms and conditions. In this article, we will guide you through the process of finding the perfect lender to refinance your mortgage and help you make an informed decision.
Factors to Consider when Refinancing a Mortgage
Before diving into the search for a lender, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the factors that should influence your decision. Here are some important aspects to consider:
1. Current Interest Rates
Interest rates play a significant role in your refinancing decision. Keep an eye on the current market rates and compare them to the rate you currently have. If the current rates are lower, refinancing could be a viable option to save money in the long run.
2. Loan Terms and Conditions
Different lenders offer various loan terms and conditions. Evaluate the options available to you, such as fixed-rate mortgages or adjustable-rate mortgages, and determine which one aligns with your financial goals and preferences.
3. Closing Costs
Refinancing your mortgage involves certain fees and closing costs. It’s essential to understand these costs and compare them across different lenders. Be sure to factor in these expenses when assessing the overall financial benefits of refinancing.
4. Credit Score Requirements
Your credit score plays a crucial role in determining your eligibility for refinancing and the interest rate you’ll receive. Research lenders that accommodate borrowers with your credit score range and find out what rates they offer to ensure you’re getting the best deal possible.
Researching Potential Lenders
Now that you have a good understanding of the factors to consider, it’s time to research potential lenders. Here are some options worth exploring:
1. Traditional Banks and Credit Unions
Traditional banks and credit unions are known for their reliability and stability. They often have established mortgage departments that can guide you through the refinancing process. Contact your current bank or credit union to explore the options they offer.
2. Online Mortgage Lenders
In recent years, online mortgage lenders have gained popularity due to their convenience and competitive rates. These lenders operate entirely online, allowing you to complete the refinancing process from the comfort of your home. Research reputable online lenders and compare their rates and terms.
3. Mortgage Brokers
Mortgage brokers act as intermediaries between borrowers and lenders. They have access to a wide range of lenders and can help you find the best refinancing options based on your specific needs. Consider working with a reputable mortgage broker to simplify the search process.
4. Comparing Interest Rates and Fees
Once you have a list of potential lenders, it’s time to compare their interest rates and fees. Use online tools and resources to gather this information and create a spreadsheet for easy comparison. Remember to consider both the interest rate and the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) to get a comprehensive understanding of the costs involved.
Key Questions to Ask When Choosing a Lender
As you narrow down your options, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure you choose the best lender for your refinancing needs. Here are some key questions to guide you:
1. Are There Any Prepayment Penalties?
Before committing to a lender, inquire about any potential prepayment penalties. These penalties can significantly impact your refinancing decision, especially if you plan to pay off your mortgage early.
2. What Types of Loans Do They Offer?
Different lenders offer various loan options. Make sure the lender you choose provides the type of loan that aligns with your financial goals. Whether you’re looking for a fixed-rate mortgage, adjustable-rate mortgage, or other options, ensure the lender can accommodate your needs.
3. Do They Provide Personalized Customer Service?
Customer service is a crucial aspect of any lending experience. Look for a lender that offers personalized assistance and guidance throughout the refinancing process. A lender who understands your unique financial situation and provides tailored solutions can make your journey much smoother.
4. Are There Any Special Programs or Incentives Available?
Some lenders offer special programs or incentives that can benefit borrowers. These could include first-time homebuyer programs, government-backed loan options, or incentives for specific professions. Explore whether any lenders on your list provide such programs that align with your circumstances.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I Refinance my Mortgage with Bad Credit?
Yes, it is possible to refinance a mortgage with bad credit. However, keep in mind that having a lower credit score may affect the interest rate and terms you’re offered. Research lenders who specialize in working with borrowers with less-than-perfect credit to increase your chances of approval.
How Long Does the Refinancing Process Typically Take?
The refinancing process usually takes around 30 to 45 days. However, the timeline can vary depending on several factors, including the lender’s efficiency, your responsiveness, and the complexity of your financial situation. Be prepared for potential delays and work closely with your chosen lender to expedite the process.
Will Refinancing Lower My Monthly Mortgage Payments?
Refinancing has the potential to lower your monthly mortgage payments, especially if you can secure a lower interest rate or extend the loan term. However, it’s essential to consider all associated costs, such as closing fees, to determine if the overall financial benefits outweigh the expenses.
Is It Possible to Refinance a Mortgage Multiple Times?
Yes, it is possible to refinance a mortgage multiple times. However, it’s crucial to evaluate the costs and benefits of each refinancing decision. Refinancing too frequently may result in additional fees and could potentially impact your credit score.
Finding the right lender is vital when considering refinancing your mortgage. By considering factors such as current interest rates, loan terms, closing costs, and credit score requirements, you can make an informed decision. Researching potential lenders, comparing their rates and offers, and asking key questions will help you narrow down your options. Remember to consider any specific programs or incentives and choose a lender that provides personalized customer service. With thorough research and careful consideration, you can find the perfect lender to refinance your mortgage and secure a better financial future.

We are so happy to have Ophelia in our family and no doubt when we are ready for another we will absolutely come back to Raggiedolz to get another!!!!! Thanks Louise
We highly recommend Louise and her Raggiedolz. Right through from initial enquiry to picking our lovely kitten up, we have had excellent advice and answers to all our questions. Louise was happy to introduce us to all her cats and kittens who all appeared happy and healthy. The whole family are thrilled with our new addition “Esther”, she has settled very quickly, is litter trained and is simply adorable. Thank you Louise, you are doing an amazing job. Kate Jeffs (Registered Veterinary Nurse)

A private California investor acquired Claremont Marketplace, a shadow-anchored retail center on the edge of Banning Lewis Ranch.
The newly built center at 7935 Constitution Ave. in Colorado Springs sold for $7 million, or more than $460 per square foot.
The 15,171-sf center is shadow anchored by a 123,000-sf King Soopers Marketplace.
“The property is well positioned in a rapidly growing submarket with very limited retail competition. The recent rezoning of a portion of the Banning Lewis Ranch to allow 1,000 new homes to be built is only the beginning of the exciting growth that will occur in this submarket over the next 10 years,” said Ryan Bowlby of Marcus & Millichap.
Bowlby and Garrette Matlock, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Denver office, sold the property on an off-market basis.
The biggest draws of the center include it being new construction, its location next to the growing Banning Lewis Ranch and it being shadow anchored by a new King Soopers Marketplace, the first in the Pikes Peak region, which offers not only expanded grocery offerings but also general merchandise.
Construction wrapped up on Claremont Marketplace this year with tenants currently completing build-out. At the time of the sale, the property was 86 percent occupied with the unnamed seller providing a rent guarantee on the remaining vacancy.
Tenants at Claremont Marketplace include Pacific Dental Services, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Subway, Lux Nails, Great Clips and Patriots Liquor.

Building heating systems on the Upper West Side create more pollution than those across the rest of the city, but that could change thanks to a city program to help building owners switch to greener heating oils.
Under new energy standards issued by the Department of Environmental Protection last year, New York City buildings will be required to switch from the environmentally damaging No. 6 fuel oil to cleaner alternatives by the end of 2015.
Representatives of NYC Clean Heat, a citywide program that will provide financial support to building owners making the costly conversion, addressed funding sources and environmental concerns in a presentation on Monday evening at Riverside Library. The officials said that the program would help owners avoid fees for failing to meet the 2015 deadline.
“We’re not trying to offer you a program that is just an incentive, but rather, we’re trying to get in front of anyone getting any kind of penalty,” said Annemarie Eimicke, a community development analyst in Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Office of Operations and a former office manager at Columbia’s Earth Institute. “But I don’t think you’ll find anyone who says, ‘I want dirty air.’”
And dirty air, the officials said, is what neighborhoods get when they use No. 6 oil. In a 2008-09 study, the city’s health department found that concentrations of harmful particulate matter were 30 percent higher at sites using higher density heating oils like No. 6.
That fact is particularly relevant to Upper West Siders, as the neighborhood is “one of the dirtiest in the boroughs,” according to Ken Camilleri, the operations manager of NYC Clean Heat. Camilleri said that 144 of the city’s top 1,000 polluting buildings are on the Upper West Side.
“That’s why we’re here, and that’s why I really wish there were more of you here,” Camilleri said to neighborhood residents who attended the presentation. “We have to do something.”
Posie Constable, the director of clean heat finance at the New York City Energy Efficiency Corporation, said that there are resources in place to help finance building conversions, including partnerships with private banks that have already lent roughly $90 million to city building owners.
According to Constable, the city is also encouraging private lending by setting aside about $5 million to cover losses incurred through default or non-payment.
Still, some environmentalists raised concerns at Monday night’s presentation that the program would increase the use of natural gas in heating oils.
“The bottom line is, it’s going to drive up the demand for fracked gas,” said Gusti Bogok, a member of the Sierra Club Gas Drilling Task Force. “Fracking is such a toxic and destructive force, and we’re going down the wrong route to switch all of these buildings to an outdated fossil fuel.”
But Camilleri and Eimicke said that the program is “fuel-neutral,” meaning it allows building owners to use many different kind of fuels, including biofuels, natural gas, and lower-density heating oils.
“I’ve heard this program called a natural gas conversion program, and it really irritates me, because it’s not,” Camilleri said, pointing to the relative cleanliness and feasibility of No. 2 heating oil and biofuels. He added that there are tax rebates encouraging building owners to use biofuels in their heating systems.

NASAL OXYGEN CANNULA
The oxygen nasal cannula is a medical device used to provide supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a person in need of breathing support. The device consists of a small, flexible tube that splits on one end into two tips, which are inserted into the nostrils and from which a steady stream of oxygen flows. The opposite end of the device is connected to an oxygen source, such as a wall connection in a hospital via a flowmeter, or even to a portable oxygen generator. The device can be used in a variety of hospital settings, at home, or even during travel, because the cannula allows the individual to continue to talk, eat, and drink while receiving the therapy.
- Medical-grade PVC tube resistant to compression and bending
- Possibility to fix the device behind the patient’s ear
- A couple of nasal tips to properly distribute the flow of oxygen between the nostrils
- Flexible and adaptable nasal tips to ensure the patient’s comfort
- Standard funnel-shaped connector for simple connection to an oxygen source
- Available with different types and shapes of nasal tips
- Available in pediatric and adult patient formats
- Tube length 50cm x 210cm
- Diameter of 50cm tube 3.3mm
- Diameter of 210cm tube 4.6mm
- Weight 40g
- Single-use item
- Sterile (EO sterilized)
- Oxygen administration without the need for mechanical ventilation in the following conditions: asthma, COPD, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, and sleep apnea, and heart failure.
- High flows of an air/oxygen blend administration during high oxygen volume therapy.
- Usable as an effective alternative to face mask oxygen.
- Usable also in newborns with underdeveloped lungs.

I recently joined Forrester as a senior analyst supporting the healthcare vertical, building on my experience as a nurse and healthcare product architect. To learn more about my background, check out my full bio here.
From an early age, it was apparent to me that my passion lies in providing care for patients. When I became a nurse, I learned that finding innovative ways to make care delivery more operationally efficient while reducing costs was a business imperative. Over the past 15 years, my journey of providing care and optimizing healthcare inefficiencies took on various forms, but it is my direct clinical experiences that remind me why these areas demand the highest attention, all within a rapidly changing landscape and the continuous quest for the Quadruple Aim.
The Undeniable Value Of Clinicians Finally Rears Its Head
As a practicing nurse providing acute care for cardiac surgical step-down patients on a per diem basis, I saw and felt firsthand the repercussions of overburdening and under-supporting clinicians. In the past few years, many nurses left their jobs or retired sooner than expected, leaving hospitals with soaring turnover costs averaging $40,000 per nurse and a less experienced staff. Throughout the US, staffing shortages, significant reported burnout levels, and little time for self-care among the healthcare workforce have contributed to the vulnerable state of clinician well-being and affected their ability to provide quality medical care. This was exacerbated by the persistent and pervasive effects of the pandemic, the high prevalence of chronic disease, and an aging population.
Yet, what’s been brought to light is the undeniable value clinicians bring to healthcare when they are rested, properly resourced, and feel supported. Value was captured when pay increased 4% in 2021 nationally for nurses, up from 3.3% in 2020, and 2.6% in 2019 because of amplified hospital recruitment, job-hopping, and intense competition among organizations. With developing insights into how to best care for our caregivers, we must ask, “Are healthcare organization leaders and government officials prepared to prioritize the needs of clinicians?”
The Key To Saving Healthcare Is Investing In Frontline Workers
Now is the time for healthcare organizations (HCOs) to restructure and optimize their healthcare workforce management strategies to acquire and retain their most vital assets. This will ultimately drive the shift to value-based care and position patient outcomes at the helm of what drives decisions. Here are a few steps for HCOs get started:
- Monitor and nurture relationships with clinicians to sustain well-being. Employee wellness and engagement cultivate the continuous delivery of high-quality care. Implement ongoing, proactive retention interviews, as opposed to reactive exit interviews, to screen the general sentiment and pinpoint distinctive issues that arise. Be preemptive in avoiding further deterioration of morale and burnout.
- Make career development a top priority. Career development has always been a sticking point for frontline workers. Organizations need to offer opportunities and support clinicians to grow professionally and enable them to perform at the top of their license.
- Maximize your employee benefits. Adjust benefits and offerings to reflect the support employees need. Extend benefits beyond paid sick leave, paid vacations, healthcare, and dental benefits. Roll out new self-care offerings. These can include treats to say thank-you, a quiet room to take a breath, virtual meditations, onsite yoga, or assistance with gym memberships or childcare.
- Incentivize your workforce. Clinicians need better pay in addition to more flexible shifts. HCOs have tight profit margins, and there is a national shortage to contend with; however, the current state of work is failing. Incentives are needed to reflect the value clinicians bring to keep workers engaged and sustain competition. Consider sign-on bonuses for select roles and incentive payments for applicants who accept prior to the deadline.
- Partner up to boost employee experience. Partnering with innovative groups, other HCOs, and health tech companies can help healthcare organizations get a fresh perspective on retention and create a more personalized and connected employee experience. This can include incorporating peer-to-peer support groups and reflective practice groups that allow providers to share their personal experiences and feelings. Offering computer-assisted resilience training, free access to teletherapy, and mental health apps can also help employees cope with stress and anxiety.

An experience like no other; an explosion of unrestrained joy and delight: beyond this, it’s close to impossible to describe Slava’s Snowshow without saying at once too much and too little. At the risk of falling into this trap, however, here are some of the things you can expect to find, should you decide to attend.
Subtle, thoughtful and contained yet somehow simultaneously buzzing with a mischievous, child-like energy, Slava Polunin is both a traditional clown and something altogether fresh and unique. Having raided a long and well-established history of silent performance to create this show, he refashions what he finds there into something truly remarkable, the gleaming treasures and dusty clichés all radically transformed through his own comic genius and that of his collaborators.
What makes this show so different from anything else you will ever see, then, is not so much what happens, but how it does so. Everyone who attends the Snowshow will enter the theatre thinking they know something about clowning, and will be met there with plenty of the things they expect to see. Yet they will also have their every expectation subverted. The most familiar gags and gestures startle and surprise, appearing so suddenly and in such imaginative ways that we almost fail to recognise them when we see them.
Trudging gloomily onto the stage, the Yellow Clown begins the show by fashioning a piece of rope into a kind of noose. By the end of it, he’s showering his audience with snow and bombarding them with giant, multicoloured, inflatable balls, leaving the room filled with smiles so big that ear-to-ear doesn’t do them justice. Between these two points is every emotion in-between: the show is perhaps best described as a kind of rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of life, triggering a similar adrenaline rush that’s undoubtedly better shared than experienced alone. To steal a brilliant description from my fellow First Night Blogger, Amy Stutz, it’s also “like having a good dream and a nightmare at the same time”.
People may come to see Slava’s Snowshow, but they soon find themselves becoming a part of it: to describe the audience members as “viewers” seems wholly inadequate. If you choose to participate in this show – and I urge you to do so – you’ll be covered in snow and cobwebs, possibly soaked, surrounded by bubbles and generally invited to relinquish your inhibitions and play. It’s hard to imagine a single person making it through this show without cracking a smile – most of us won’t be able to wipe the grins off our faces for days. And why would you want to? The only bad thing to say about Slava’s Snowshow is that eventually, it has to end.
Slava’s Snowshow runs at the Birmingham Hippodrome tonight and tomorrow. For more information and to book tickets, visit the theatre’s website.

President Obama’s campaign is up with a new ad contrasting his tax plan with Mitt Romney’s and accusing Romney of wanting to raise taxes on 18 million Americans.
The ad accuses Romney of supporting tax breaks for the wealthy, for oil companies and for those who ship jobs overseas, along with a tax increase for 18 million “working families.”
The ad represents the Obama campaign’s decision to double down on its message of raising taxes on the wealthy by letting the Bush tax cuts expire. But it also shows a desire to open up a new front by attacking Romney as a potential tax-raiser too.
The tax increase for 18 million families is a claim that Obama has made before, and the fact-checking Web site PolitiFact has rated it “mostly true.” The tax increases come as a result of allowing tax cuts from the stimulus package to expire. (Read more here.)
The ad is airing in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Update: Here’s the Romney campaign’s response, from spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg: “Over the past four years, it’s become clear that President Obama doesn’t have a clue how to get America working again or help the middle class. President Obama’s tax increase will hit families, job creators, and small businesses all over the country. Governor Romney understands that the last thing we need to do in this weak economy is raise taxes on anyone. He has a plan to permanently lower marginal rates, help middle-class Americans save and invest, and jumpstart economic growth and job creation.”

Brentin Mock is a staff writer at CityLab. He was previously the justice editor at Grist.
A new study shows that the legacy of racial discrimination still looms heavily.
The Trust for Public Land has just released its annual scores and rankings on city parks across the U.S., as Laura Bliss reports. These scores claim to evaluate what the trust considers the “three important characteristics of an effective park system: acreage, facilities and investment, and access.”
While this assessment is supposed to be the gold standard for determining park quality, its criteria is severely undermined by its failure to consider the legacy of racism in the U.S. park system. This holds especially true when looking at access, which the TPL defines as “the percentage of the population living within a 10-minute (half-mile) walk of a public park.”
This is a limited definition, to say the least. We know from the many failed instances of desegregation in the U.S. that mere proximity or an open-door/floor plan doesn’t necessarily mean equal access for all. It certainly hasn’t meant that for African Americans and parks, as University of Missouri scholar KangJae Lee recently discovered. In Lee’s study, published June 1 in the journal Leisure Sciences, he attempts to answer a long-unresolved question: How come black people don’t go to the park? Or, put better: What keeps black people away from parks?
Lee, who teaches about parks, recreation and tourism at the university’s College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources, took a close examination of Cedar Hill State Park in Texas to find answers. It’s an 1,826-acre park found just southwest of Dallas, and it is surrounded by communities where African Americans make up more than half the population. But black people make up only around 11 percent of the park’s visitors compared to 67 percent white visitors, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
To see why this is, Lee interviewed 13 African Americans who live near the park, using the research methods of Pierre Bourdieu, a French sociologist whose theories emphasize the role of social institutions in creating and reinforcing inequality.
“[Bourdieu’s] focus on historical power inequality may well provide insight into how historical racial discrimination has negatively affected African Americans’ access to parks,” writes Lee in his study’s report.
The people he interviewed were of varying ages and income levels. Each provided differing perspectives on why they didn’t frequent Cedar Hill State Park, and even on why they felt that black people don’t go to parks in general.
Risty*, a city government worker in his thirties spoke in the report of the racism black people encounter at the park:
It is very prevalent. I witnessed or experienced it throughout my whole professional life since I began working in the field of parks and recreation ...I can give you a perfect example. I’ve been on the Juneteenth committee for two years here ....We have a really nice park over here that has an amphitheater that seats about 2,000 people, so we decided to have a free concert, for the community, kind of celebration ....We planned for about 1,800 people, but we ended up having 6,800. Yeah, so that was the best Juneteenth celebration we ever had in the four cities [around CHSP]. It was [an] unbelievable success. Well, we were awarded a national award through the NRPA [National Recreation and Park Association] ...when it was the time to go and receive the award ...not one African American was on the trip ....Yeah, it was all White Americans. So, to the African American employees, that’s like, you know, a slap in the face.
Jennifer*, also a city government worker, in her mid-fifties said:
They don’t really say anything to encourage us to come. All we hear is that some groups went, if we hear that any people of color went there, nothing positive that they say about it, so we stay away from there. ...My kids who go everywhere ...haven’t had a desire [to visit the park] ...they just don’t go. They make it sound like it’s not for us. People talk about it, but they talk about it like it’s their [whites’] place that they go.
Sam*, a former city government employee, in his late fifties and “very familiar with the history of the community” said:
Years ago, we couldn’t stay at hotels. You couldn’t go to the diners. You have to go around. Negros only, Whites only. So it has to, you are right [about the origin of recreation culture] ...it has the root, right? So where you might have Caucasians, they can go anywhere they wanna go and enjoy whatever they wanna enjoy, Negros couldn’t ...That culture was, well, it was embedded in us, all right? Maybe that’s all we thought we can do. And we feel, well, say stay home, right? So we don’t have to deal with it [racism].
And here’s Susan, a graduate student in her late twenties, bringing it back to the issue of access and how racism distorts that concept:
We have to talk about access when we talk about the history of leisure, because there was no access to it [outdoor recreation], so how do you expect me [to] appreciate these things if my parents didn’t appreciate it, my parents’ parents couldn’t appreciate it? ....So I feel like it’s, it’s gotten passed down [from] generation to generation to where, “Oh, no we just don’t do these things. We just don’t. We don’t go camping. That’s just not what we do.” It’s something that settled in the Black community, but [a long time ago] it was like, “We can’t do that.”
What Lee learned from listening to black people share their lived experiences was that the threat of or the real presence of racism marred their ability to have an enjoyable park experience. Lee also found that the Cedar Hill park has failed to produce culturally relevant attractions for black people.
The absence of such attractions seems to reflect the erasure of African Americans from the park’s history. The land where the park exists today was claimed by John Anderson Penn in the 1850s whose family used it for farming. Penn was a slave owner. Summarizing from a report published by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department on the park’s history, Lee wrote:
The report documented that John Anderson Penn and his four sons purchased several slaves in 1857. For example, Joseph R. Penn’s property value nearly tripled, from $2,190 in 1855 to $6,100 in 1860, and the Penn brothers’ economic prosperity continued until the Civil War. However, slavery also caused serious problems for the Penn family. Family lore suggested that John Anderson Penn’s sexual promiscuity with a female slave caused a serious rift between him and his sons. John Penn Anderson’s divorce and subsequent return to Illinois in the 1860s may support this notion. Although slavery was a central element of the Penn family’s early life in Texas, this story was not displayed anywhere at [Cedar Hill State Park]. None of the interpretive exhibits at the Penn Farm or information in the brochures contained any reference about slavery, as if the Penn family never owned any slaves.
We can forgive African Americans for disregarding a park system that refuses to acknowledge the people who toiled, bled, sweat, cried, agonized, and were raped and killed on its soil. And while Lee’s sample size is small, as he admits, his sources’ views are consistent with the many other studies done on the subject of black access to park space.
That includes the research of Carolyn Finney, from her 2014 book Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors. There she writes that “parks and forests can unintentionally become sites where African Americans experience insecurity, exclusion, and fear born out of historical precedent, collective memory, and contemporary concerns.”
Lee’s findings also dovetail neatly with a recent study from Rice University, which found that black and white Houston residents hold competing views on what constitutes park quality. Meanwhile, park officials from local to national levels have historically done a poor job, even today, of coming up with ways to make parks more welcoming to African Americans. One need only recall the tragic story of the Central Park Five to understand how parks foster the unfair criminalization of black and Latino youth.
Of course, African Americans haven’t just served as the victims of park oppression throughout history. The Outdoor Afro national network proves that there is tremendous agency among African Americans in ensuring that the black experience isn’t erased from the U.S. park experience. But neither do its members shy away from the trails of racism lining their outdoor journeys. As Outdoor Afro member Pamela Slaughter told the Portland Mercury in a recent profile:
We've grown up hearing things that have happened to black people in the woods… . Historically, we've disappeared in the woods. We've been lynched. We feel safer in cities. We still enjoy nature, but in a safer, easier way. People want to get out more, but they don't know what to do or where to start.
The responsibility of creating a fair and just starting point falls largely on park authorities. But it’s a non-starter to talk about “access” without respecting the concerns that Slaughter raises. Today’s segregated spaces and activities are the direct result of a certain kind of place-based conditioning: Black people constantly being told—often through violence—that the price of admission to certain places is your dignity, and possibly your life. There can be no scoring or discussion of park access without park authorities compensating for that conditioning.
*NOTE: Lee used pseudonyms for his interviewees in the study.

Obama retains Dempsey as top military chief
Washington: US President Barack Obama announced Wednesday he was nominating General Martin Dempsey for another term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation`s top military chief.
Oama said in a statement he would also nominate Admiral Sandy Winnefeld for another term as the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Xinhua reported.
The president praised the two as "superb officers who have led our military and their families with great distinction, deep conviction, and absolute integrity over the past two years," and have "earned my trust and that of the American people."
Obama said he is confident "that our nation is safer and more secure today because of their visionary, dedicated, and tireless leadership," and urged the Senate to re-confirm their nomination as swiftly as possible.

Ms3 dominant genetic male sterility for wheat improvement with molecular breeding
Guttieri, Mary (2020), Ms3 dominant genetic male sterility for wheat improvement with molecular breeding, Dryad, Dataset, https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.dv41ns1tg
Genetic dominant male sterility (DMS) has not been widely used as a breeding tool in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), although DMS-facilitated backcross, mass selection, half-sib selection, and S1 family recurrent selection strategies have been described, and Ms2-facilitated recurrent selection has been used in China. Our objective was to revisit these strategies using the tools of molecular breeding. Development of a mechanism for seedling identification of sterile progeny was a key component of designing practical DMS-facilitated molecular breeding systems. The DMS gene Ms3 was previously localized to the centromeric region of chromosome 5A. The centromeric location is an advantage because recombination rates are very low. Once identified, a broadly informative marker would reliably predict the male-sterile phenotype. A set of 429 hybrids incorporating Ms3 were constructed, both within US hard winter wheats, and between these winter wheats and Asian spring wheats. Association of the male-sterile phenotype with those polymorphic DNA sequence tags that localized to chromosome 5A was tested using case-control association analysis. Two highly significant (logarithm of odds [LOD] > 30) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)–trait associations were obtained. One SNP was developed into a highly sensitive, reliable molecular marker for the Ms3-associated male-sterile. Previously described breeding strategies using DMS were updated for trait-targeted marker-assisted backcrossing and gene pyramiding, S1 recurrent selection, and early-generation genomic selection. Application of DMS to association mapping, with the particular use case of the multiparent advanced generation intercross population, is also described.
The SNPs were called by TASSEL 5.0 () using the reference sequence of the bread wheat landrace Chinese Spring (International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium [IWGSC] RefSeq 1.0) ( ). The 197,543 SNPs called were filtered in TASSEL to the 5666 SNPs that aligned to chromosome 5A and had minor allele frequency >0.05. Genotyping data thus subsetted were imported to JMP Genomics 9.0 (SAS Institute) using the TASSEL GBS Import Engine. Further filtering using the Subset and Reorder Genetic Data utility in JMP Genomics filtered the markers to those with <40% missing data and filtered the genotypes to those with a minimum proportion of nonmissing genotypes of 20%.

Defense Law News
Brydon Hugo & Parker (San Francisco, CA) are pleased to announce that attorney Edward R. Hugo, assisted by Heidi K. Hugo and Jeffrey Kaufman, successfully obtained a defense verdict in favor of their client, a landlord who was sued by its tenant for damages resulting from a New Years Eve flood in 2005 in Ross, California.
The plaintiffs Danielle Bourhis and Kriten Joye, owners of clothing boutiques Brown Eyed Girl and Material Girl in Ross, claimed that their commercial landlords, Kate and John Lord, failed to warn them that the building was in a flood zone. Additionally, the plaintiffs claimed that the Lords did not do enough to prevent the water damage and also would not let them out of their lease. Bourhis and Joyce, who were represented by Raymond Bourhis, sued the Lords.
Bourhis and Joyce claimed the Lords failed to pile sandbags or install floodgates, though they knew that the property's location made it susceptible to occasional flooding and that when the New Year's Eve flood of 2005 ruined expensive merchandise and halted their business, that the Lords would not let them out of their lease.
The Lords denied the allegations and countersued, saying Bourhis and Joyce walked away from a five year lease and damaged them for approximately $60,000 in rent. Defense further argued that the building was not defective, that the flood could not have been prevented, that the plaintiffs were warned that the property had flooded in the past and that they were not liable for flooding damage.
The plaintiffs originally claimed over $9 million in alleged damaged for lost profits, but reduced their claim at trial to an estimated $750,000 in alleged diminution in value of the businesses following the flood.
The jury returned a 12-0 defense verdict after a trial spanning 5 weeks.

Notes[edit | edit source]
Some voting methods allow voters to have multiple 1st choices, using equal ranking. The two main ways of dealing with this are to treat the voter as giving full support to each 1st choice (similar to Approval voting) or to consider them as having "split" one unit or vote of support between each 1st choice candidate (similar to cumulative voting)
Multi-winner case[edit | edit source]
Instead of looking only at 1st choices, it is useful to instead look at each voter's [number of winners] most-preferred candidates, because these are the candidates they would choose to fill all of the seats if they could. See solid coalition.

Photography is a hobby that can be extremely rewarding. There is something about capturing memories in a way that can be kept forever that makes it special. Photographs can help us remember old friends and even our old selves. This article can help you bring a fresh eye to the photographs that you love to take. Keep reading for effective tips that will bring the memories in your pictures to life.
When you are learning, camera settings should be simple. Master one control at a time, such as the shutter speed or the aperture, before taking on the next. This allows you to just focus on taking photos instead of messing with the camera functions so long that you miss out on the picture.
While many photographers prefer to emphasize landscapes from a distance, viewers often focus on the foreground instead. Compose the frame in such a way as to make the foreground as important to the image as the background is to create a truly striking photo.
Try getting closer to the subject that you are trying to photograph. When you are too far away, it is harder to see the details in the resulting photograph, which can prove quite disappointing. You need to ensure that your subject can be seen vividly.
Be sure to find a subject who is interesting and compelling. Even the best equipment won’t produce an amazing picture if the subject is difficult to work with. Look for inspiration in objects, or choose a model that is comfortable with you.
Pre-focus your camera and move the lens slightly in one direction so that the subject you are shooting is slightly off center. Centering a subject in a picture is an expected tactic and may detract from the interest of the photo. Take interesting pictures by making the subject off center.
Make your subject feel comfortable, especially if you don’t know them. People sometimes feel threatened when their picture gets taken. Help your model to relax by keeping a friendly atmosphere, and the mood upbeat. Also, seek their permission before you start taking their picture. You can help them to see that photography is the art of capturing memories, and not an invasion of their personal privacy.
Consider enrolling in a photography group, or team up to take shots with a photographer who shares your interests. You can learn a lot about technique from other people, as long as you are careful to maintain your unique perspective. You can even compare photographs of the same subject with another photographer and discuss the differences.
If you want to take better pictures, start by reading the instruction manual that came with your camera. The size of a manual often makes them prohibitive to reading. Most people put them back in the box or toss them without ever looking at them. Rather than getting rid of it, actually read it. This is a great way to learn the ins and outs of your particular camera.
When photographing more than one person, it may be advisable to provide them with some wardrobe suggestions. It is not necessary to match colors, but colors that are complementary will produce more pleasing results. Suggest to them that warm colors and neutral shades look best in the outdoors. If bright colors are preferred, consider balancing them with articles of black clothing as well, to avoid a barrage of colors that clash with each other.
Look for patterns in your subject matter, no matter if they happen to be natural or artificial. Repeating patterns in a photo’s background attract the viewer’s eye and draw his attention to your photograph. You can play off these patterns to get unusual angles or frame your subject relative to the background.
Add interest to a photograph by adjusting the focus at different points. The smaller the f-stop number, or depth field, the more blurry your background will be. This is a good technique to use when the subject is up close, such as in portraits. Bigger f-stops will make the depth of field greater resulting in the entire photo being in focus. Larger f-stop numbers are ideal for landscape photography.
With most photos, you will have to make the choice of how to properly expose highlights and shadows in the photograph. On the other hand, if you take two pictures, using different conditions, you can use software to blend the two together into one image of perfection.
Take a good number of practice shots to experiment when shooting against new backdrops or with new subjects. Every situation can produce different results, so be sure to take as many practice shots as possible to get a good feel for your surroundings. Lighting conditions change often, so just in case, take additional practice photos in between the pictures that you want to use.
Your image sensor settings (ISO) can help you get very good shots if you know how to work with them. If not, they can sabotage your pictures quickly. Keep in mind that high ISO settings mean you will be able to see more on your photo and print a photo with more grain. This can completely ruin your shot.
All photographers know that taking pictures truly captures the essence of a moment and allows for that still frame to live eternally. These slips of paper can become cherished possessions of extreme sentimental importance. When you follow our tips, you will be able to recognize and capture the moments that will be cherished forever in photos.

‘Ghosts’: EP Joe Port Says “There’s a Lot Of Fun In Store” For Future Episodes; Stars Tease Upcoming Storylines – TCA
Ghosts wrapped up its fall finale with a whimsical possession-centered storyline on Thursday and will return with even more humor in the new year, executive producer Joe Port teased.
“There’s a lot of fun in store and we want [audiences] to stay tuned,” said Port during CBS’ TCA panel on Friday.
Set to return Thursday Jan. 6 with the more episodes for its debut season, Ghosts follows a struggling young couple, Samantha, played by Rose McIver, and Jay, played by Utkarsh Ambudkar, whose dreams come true when they inherit a beautiful country house, only to find it’s both falling apart and inhabited by many of the deceased previous residents.
During the panel, where Port joined fellow executive producer Joe Wiseman, McIver, Utkarsh and the cast members who haunt the Woodstone estate to tease what’s up next. Joining the Woodstone residents when the season continues in 2022 will be guest stars including Betsy Sodaro and Veep‘s Matt Walsh.
Ghosts will also deliver more backstory for a number of characters, including Ambudkar’s Jay. McIver said an upcoming episode will feature Jay’s family.
The ghosts will also get more time in the spotlight. An upcoming episode titled “Thor-apy,” for which the cast did a table read, is set to center the life of Devan Long’s Thorfinn. Román Zaragoza, who co-stars as Sasappis, revealed that audiences will learn even more about his character, adding that his real-life father Gregory Zaragoza will appear as his on-screen dad.
During the panel, which also featured Brandon Scott Jones, Richie Moriarty, Danielle Pinnock, Asher Grodman, Sheila Carrasco and Rebecca Wisocky, Ambudkar reflected on how the large cast has grown since the early days of its production.
“We really developed a nice rhythm as an ensemble…technically this show requires a lot to make work,” he said. We’ve been able to find our pace, new director’s coming in. I think we all know each others’ strengths and less strengths and we’re supporting each other better everyday.”
For fans who can’t wait until the new year for Ghosts content, McIver shared that CBS will run a mini-marathon on Thursday, Dec. 23 featuring fan-voted episodes.
Ghosts comes from Joe Port & Wiseman, Lionsgate Television, BBC Studios and CBS Studios.
Port and Wiseman executive produce with Mathew Baynton, Jim Howick, Simon Farnaby, Laurence Rickard, Ben Willbond, Martha Howe-Douglas, Alison Carpenter, Monumental Television’s Debra Hayward, and Alison Owen, as well as BBC Studios’ Angie Stephenson.

The amount of waste from plastics is extremely detrimental to the environment and it seems to be increasing always. The interventions being put in place to minimize plastic waste especially from the higher authorities have been fruitless, that is if there is any at all.
But for Ghanaian start-ups, they are determined to put in whatever they can with the limited resources they have to curb the issue of plastic waste, an issue that is a worldwide problem. Ghanaian start-ups are turning plastic waste into useful fuels that can potentially be used for various purposes.
These young start-ups moved forward by young people are turning plastic waste into fuels like grease, diesel and petrol for household uses. The young geniuses hail from Banda Nkwanta in the Brong-Ahafo region, Ghana.
They work with limited resources, but their passion to contribute meaningfully to the environment saw them getting funding from UNDP Ghana to sustain their projects.
UNDP Ghana posted some pictures of the initiative on Facebook with the caption, " In this era of plastic menace, check out how individuals from Banda Nkwanta turn plastic waste into fuel like grease, diesel and petrol for use. GEFSGPGhana UNDP Ghana supported to begin the pilot stage of this initiative."
Turning plastic into fuels can prove to be very essential for Ghanaian communities when one takes into consideration the almost irreparable damage caused by plastic waste. These fuels are importantly a convenience for small-scale purposes like household uses. Recycling waste has not yet reached a full scale level, which makes these fuels a noble initiative.
Plastic-derived fuels have low sulphur content. This means that they are not are not as harmful to the environment than traditional fuels, since they are capable of producing a cleaner burning fuel than the traditional fuel. The majority of developing nations rely on sulphur-heavy diesel.
This smart idea can go a long way in alleviating the challenges posed by plastic waste in poorer communities.
On the overall, developing nations are bearing the brunt the the global menace of plastic waste.

Being a Living Wage Employer is important to Langs as we strive to grow healthier communities by addressing the social determinants of health. Paying the living wage recognizes the important work our employees do in the community.
People are not motivated by money. But you have to pay them enough so they are not constantly thinking about it. At House of Friendship we realized that if we really care about the people in our community, we have to treat the people who work for us well. And they can do their jobs well.
The discussion at our board of directors meeting was simple: we respect our employees, honour their contributions, want to ensure they have what they need for a decent life for their families, and want them to stay for the long-term. Committing to being a Living Wage Champion is a step in that direction.

Our business philosophy is ‘Putting People First’. Paying a living wage has been a part of our business. We feel it is good for business and good for the community.
We all know intuitively that an individual’s best work emanates from the sense of being truly valued and appreciated by his or her employer. The Café Joy brand is about spreading joy to our customers, and we really can’t expect our employees to spread joy authentically and whole heartedly if they don’t feel joy themselves. Paying a living wage thus became a non-negotiable element of our brand and an integral part of our business model. We made a commitment early on that Café Joy will always pay living wages to all of its employees.
We believe our most important resource is our employees. Treating our employees and their families with dignity, respect and fair compensation for their skills, energy and commitment to excellence, is in our DNA and is naturally the right thing to do.
